20556 | De toute part on acclame le grand naturaliste, et''il n''y a pas même une rue portant son nom aux environs du Jardin des Plantes? |
20556 | Did Buffon''s guarded suggestions have no influence on the young Lamarck? |
20556 | Do you not confound the seminary with the ancient college of Rue Poste de Paris, college now destroyed?" |
20556 | Does not botany, which considers the other series, comprising the plants, offer us, in its different parts, a state of things perfectly similar? |
20556 | How impossible will it be to distinguish and lay down a line beyond which some of the so- called extinct species have never passed into recent ones?" |
20556 | How, he asks, can they reappear? |
20556 | In which of these views did Buffon really believe? |
20556 | Is it not more likely that these simple organisms are themselves regenerated? |
20556 | Is it not the same as regards a number of animals which domestication has changed or considerably modified? |
20556 | Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection? |
20556 | Is not wheat(_ Triticum sativum_) a plant brought by man to the state wherein we actually see it, which otherwise I could not believe? |
20556 | Qu''étaient nos connaissances à l''époque de De Lamarck sur les Polypiers? |

20556 | What are the natural consequences of the influence and the movements of the waters on the surface of the globe? |
20556 | Who can now say in what place its like lives in nature? |
20556 | Why are only the two extremes living?" |
20556 | [ 254]"Does Natural Selection play any Part in the Origin of Species among Plants?" |
20556 | that none of the phenomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way? |
20556 | that there is such a thing as natural selection? |
6561 | ''Silence''? 6561 ''That''s the book, is it?'' |

6561 | Mr. Burroughs, why do n''t you PAINT things? |
6561 | Muir, are n''t you surprised to find me with two women in my wake? |
6561 | Of course,I replied;"where is your dish- cloth?" |
6561 | The thing which a man''s nature calls him to do-- what else so well worth doing? |
6561 | Well, and did it sound any different from what it did last year, and the year before, and the year before that? |
6561 | Well, then, why ca n''t you have it some other day? |
6561 | What is an algebra? |
6561 | Where are_ my_ knife and fork? |
6561 | Why should I go gadding about to see the strange and the extraordinary? |
6561 | You are going to help, are you? |
6561 | _ You_ sulk, and own up to it, too? |
6561 | After the exercises were over he said to the professor,"Why do n''t you teach your girls to spin a plain yarn?" |
6561 | And what graces a dish- pan better than a clean, whole, self- respecting dish- cloth? |
6561 | As the train stopped near the little inn, a voice called out in the darkness,"Hello, Johnnie, is that you?" |
6561 | At El Tovar he asked,"What boy brought up my bags?" |
6561 | But I have not yet solved my equation-- what sent me to nature? |
6561 | But do we find such sermonizing irksome? |
6561 | But why continue? |
6561 | Ca n''t you celebrate Johnnie''s birthday a few days later just as well? |
6561 | Can the old farm ever mean to future boys what it meant to me, and enter so deeply into their lives? |
6561 | Can you understand this? |
6561 | Can you work and wait long enough? |
6561 | Do n''t you?" |
6561 | Do we not turn to writers of the first class with eagerness, slaking our thirst, refreshing our minds at perennial springs? |
6561 | Do we outgrow him?--or do we fall away from him? |
6561 | Do you really like them? |
6561 | Do you see why men do not, as a rule, care for me, and why women do? |
6561 | Do you, then, know John Burroughs?" |
6561 | Does not the grass grow above graves? |
6561 | Have you the requisite patience and persistency? |
6561 | He would sweep the assembly with that searching glance, as much as to say,''What is all this buzzing and chirping about?'' |
6561 | How can transformation be more perfect? |
6561 | How does he do this? |
6561 | I can remember the teacher saying to him;''And you ca n''t tell that? |

6561 | Is it the spring near his father''s sugar bush that we see? |
6561 | Is not this the alchemy that turns into gold the commonest substances? |
6561 | Is that why I shrink from the wear and tear of the world? |
6561 | Oh, yes; silence is very well-- some kinds of it; but_ why make such a noise about silence_?" |
6561 | On my expressing keen disappointment he teasingly said:--"Why, you will have Johnnie, and Mr. Browne, and the mountains-- what more do you want?" |
6561 | Or he would say,"How is that for a piece of glacial work, Johnnie?" |

38629 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
38629 | But may I beg of you one favour, it will be doing me the greatest kindness, if you will send me a decided answer, yes or no? |
38629 | By the way, would you object to send this and your answer to Hooker to be forwarded to me? |

38629 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
38629 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
38629 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |
38629 | If you do refer to me at any length, can you send me a proof and I will return it to you at once? |
38629 | If you should happen to be_ acquainted_ with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is? |
38629 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
38629 | In the first place, at p. 480, it can not surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species? |

38629 | MY DEAR HOOKER,--What is the good of having a friend, if one may not boast to him? |
38629 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I inquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
38629 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
38629 | My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully and artistically coloured? |
38629 | Now what think you? |
38629 | Ought not these cases to make one very cautious when one doubts about the use of all parts? |
38629 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
38629 | Rice and peas and_ calavanses_ are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
38629 | Secondly, can you advise me whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |

38629 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
38629 | Who can the author be? |
38629 | Who is she? |

5084 | Any fragments from the rich man''s table for the next Number of"N.H.R.?" |
5084 | Are you very savage? |
5084 | But if I had to propose to a man to join, and he were to say, Well, what is your object? |
5084 | But to whom to go? |
5084 | But when am I to work them up? |
5084 | But who knows when the great Banker may sweep away table and cards and all, and set us learning a new game? |
5084 | Ca n''t you come up this way as you go to Aberdeen? |
5084 | Can you imagine me holding forth?" |
5084 | Could you identify slices if I were to send you some? |
5084 | Could you let me know? |

5084 | How then?" |
5084 | I am glad you appreciate the rich absurdities of the new doctrine of spontogenesis[?]. |
5084 | I desire therefore rather to knit more firmly than to loosen the old ties, and of these which is older or stronger than ours? |
5084 | I maintain that there ought not in both cases-- I wonder what will be my opinion ten years hence? |

5084 | Sulivan is a fine energetic man, so I suppose if she loves him, well and good, and fancies( is she not a silly woman?) |
5084 | Supposing I could do so, would it be of any use to procure recommendations from them that my papers should be published? |
5084 | That question is, Does the killing a man in the way Mr. Gordon was killed constitute murder in the eye of the law, or does it not? |
5084 | The hope of immortality or of future reward? |

5084 | Why does not somebody go to work experimentally, and get at the law of variation for some one species of plant? |

5084 | Why should I not? |
5084 | Will you be kind enough to give one with my kind regards and remembrances to Dr. Nicholson? |

5084 | Would he come out as Dr. Fayrer''s guest? |
5084 | Would it be fair to apply to Bell in such a case? |
5084 | Would it not be proper also to write to Sir W. Burnett acquainting him with my views, and requesting his acquiescence and assistance? |
5084 | Yea, but how if honour prick me off when I come on? |
5084 | You will ask with some wonderment, Why? |
5084 | You will doubtless ask what is the practical outlook of all this? |
5084 | You will naturally think, then,"Why persevere in so hopeless a course?" |
5084 | [ Wilt shape a noble life? |

12405 | Are you going to take the tow- path? |
12405 | Are you going to_ walk_? 12405 Bill,"he continued, turning to his right- hand man,"can you act as guide?" |
12405 | But what do you suppose made them put the provisions in the Alert? |
12405 | Can you discover any fast boats ahead of us, George? |
12405 | Could they? 12405 Could you do it?" |
12405 | Did n''t you notice how disrespectfully he spoke of his father? 12405 Did you catch them with a hook and line?" |
12405 | Did you make the sails yourself, Frank? |
12405 | Did you see any thing of the guns? |
12405 | Dished again, are we? |
12405 | Do it? 12405 Do n''t we gain on him any?" |
12405 | Do you think so? |
12405 | Do you understand managing a sail- boat? |
12405 | Do you want them to discover all our plans, so that they may be ready for us? |
12405 | Has he ever done you any harm? |
12405 | Has n''t he got an orchard or melon- patch that we could visit? |
12405 | Have n''t you heard any thing about it, either? |
12405 | Have they? 12405 Have you caught any thing?" |
12405 | Have you got three or four market- baskets, a clothes- basket, one or two pails, and a salt- bag? |
12405 | He did n''t do it, did he? |
12405 | He would n''t fly off, would he? |
12405 | How are we going to work to get him out? |
12405 | How are you going to hinder it? 12405 How are you going to work it, Frank?" |
12405 | How can we manage that? |
12405 | How do you know? 12405 How does she sail?" |
12405 | How far will it shoot? |
12405 | How will we go to work? |
12405 | I came very near getting the start of you, after all-- didn''t I? |
12405 | I say, Archie, where are you? |
12405 | I say, Frank,said Charles Sheldon,"do n''t you think we can catch you?" |
12405 | I wonder if they thought we would be foolish enough to send the Alert out of this creek, in the face of all those boats? |
12405 | I wonder who that is on the other side of the lake? |
12405 | If we could only go up there, some dark night, and steal his scow, and run her out into the river, and burn her, would n''t he be mad? |
12405 | It would be funny if you should slip up on it, would n''t it? |
12405 | It''s a long shot, is n''t it? |
12405 | Now, boys,said he,"we do n''t intend to disband, do we?" |
12405 | Now, what do you suppose that sloop cost me? |
12405 | Oh, only playin'', was yer? |
12405 | Oh, you begin to back down, do you, you cowards? |
12405 | So I see; but what use can you put them to? |
12405 | That''s the game, is it? |
12405 | That''s your private opinion, expressed here in this public manner, is it? |
12405 | Then how is it that the dogs are here? |
12405 | Then, where''s_ my_ basket? |
12405 | They look nice, do n''t they? |
12405 | They meant to be ready for us, did n''t they? |
12405 | They would, eh? 12405 Wal, if you say so, I wo n''t; but he oughter be larnt better manners-- hadn''t he, Pete?" |
12405 | Was that you shooting up there? |
12405 | Well, Frank, what do you think of him? |
12405 | Well,said Ben, after trying in vain to peer through the darkness,"how do matters stand? |
12405 | Whar are yer goin''? |
12405 | What are in these bags? |
12405 | What are these round things in this bag, I wonder? |
12405 | What are they? |
12405 | What are you trying to do? |
12405 | What boat is that? |
12405 | What business is that of yours? |
12405 | What do you find? |
12405 | What do you mean? |
12405 | What do you mean? |
12405 | What do you propose to do? |
12405 | What do you suppose the smugglers intend to do? |
12405 | What do you think now of the possibility of seeing a fox? |
12405 | What do you think now, Harry? |
12405 | What do you think of them? |
12405 | What if they do? |
12405 | What if they do? |
12405 | What in tarnation is the matter? |
12405 | What is it? |
12405 | What is it? |
12405 | What is to be done now? |
12405 | What luck? |
12405 | What makes you think so? |
12405 | What makes you think so? |
12405 | What makes you think so? |
12405 | What makes you try to throw cold water on all our expectations, in that way? |
12405 | What news? |
12405 | What shall we do? |
12405 | What society? |
12405 | What sort of a boy is he? |
12405 | What sort of fellows do you suppose we are? |
12405 | What''s that? |
12405 | What''s the matter, Uncle Joe? |
12405 | What''s the matter? |
12405 | What''s the reason? |
12405 | What''s the use? 12405 When are they coming?" |
12405 | Where are they? 12405 Where shall we meet?" |
12405 | Where will we have to go to find them in the morning? |
12405 | Where''s the owl? |
12405 | Where''s your companion? 12405 Which is your basket?" |
12405 | Which way is that? |
12405 | Who are they? |
12405 | Who cares for that? |
12405 | Who cares for that? |
12405 | Who is he? |
12405 | Who knows exactly where that strawberry- bed lies? 12405 Why are you?" |
12405 | Why did n''t you do it to- night? |
12405 | Why do n''t you club together, and every time you see one of the Hillers, go to work and thrash him like blazes? 12405 Why does that please you?" |
12405 | Why not? |
12405 | Why will it? |
12405 | Why, do n''t you see? |
12405 | Why, was n''t he jest tryin''to wallop your friend here? |
12405 | Why, you know that day after to- morrow is the Fourth of July, and--"And you have n''t got your fire- works yet? |
12405 | Why,said Julia, in surprise,"I guess that''s Aunt Harriet-- don''t you?" |
12405 | Will yer give a feller a ride? |
12405 | Would n''t it be a better plan for us to meet in the woods, at the back of Mrs. Nelson''s lot? 12405 You are not going home before spring, are you?" |
12405 | You do n''t intend to hurt Lee, do you? |
12405 | You do, eh? |
12405 | You think so, do you? |
12405 | Already he has laid by half that amount; but how is he to get the rest? |
12405 | At length, one of the boys inquired,"What name would you like?" |
12405 | Brave immediately ran to join them, and Harry exclaimed,"I''d like to know what those dogs are doing there?" |
12405 | But is there any hunting around here?" |
12405 | But which way do we go to get home?" |
12405 | Ca n''t twenty fellows whip a dozen?" |
12405 | Did he receive Harry''s letter?" |
12405 | Do you hear that?" |
12405 | Do you think you can comprehend me now?" |
12405 | Frank acknowledged himself to be the person, and James continued,"I suppose she''s the champion yacht, is n''t she?" |
12405 | Had we better try to cross the creek now, or shall we wait until daylight?" |
12405 | How would they go to work?" |
12405 | How would you like to spend an hour with me on the river to- morrow? |
12405 | I s''pose you kind o''thought you had rubbed me out, did n''t you?" |
12405 | I was going to say--""Are you going to keep still,"roared the bully,"or shall I make you?" |
12405 | I wonder how the Sunbeam[ meaning his skiff] would sail? |
12405 | I wonder if we could not have slipped by their police, and reached the island, before they knew it?" |
12405 | If we could represent the buck in the act of upsetting us, it would be our''masterpiece,''would n''t it? |
12405 | If yer_ had_ been, we would n''t a left a grease- spot of yer-- would we, Pete?" |
12405 | In a few moments they reached the fence that ran between the orchard and the meadow, and Archie inquired,"What shall we do now?" |
12405 | In the first place, I suppose, we are all willing to pass part of the day on the river?" |
12405 | Meanwhile Archie was pulling off his clothes, and, when his cousin appeared, he exclaimed,"How do things look down there? |
12405 | Not you the cod I twigged[A] navigating that scow up the creek?" |
12405 | Rather muddy, is n''t it?" |
12405 | Shall we punch him for yer?" |
12405 | Shall we try to cross it now? |
12405 | Should he go back to the house and get assistance? |
12405 | Suppose I shoot at him?" |
12405 | The boys pulled back to the wharf, and Charles continued,"I did n''t think that the Alert would hold all of the refreshments, did you?" |
12405 | The boys then climbed in themselves, and Frank said,"Well, we have captured our first deer, have n''t we?" |
12405 | The smugglers began to grow jubilant over their success, and George called out,"Where are your men- o''-war now? |
12405 | The smugglers remained together, and, as soon as the others were out of hearing, George inquired,"Do you think we can give them the slip?" |
12405 | To Frank''s inquiry,"How do you do, sir?" |
12405 | Uncle Joe suddenly inquired,"Boys, did you bring in your trap that you set for that wild- cat?" |
12405 | We shall be obliged to tack a good many times, going down but we can sail back like a book, and--""Oh, you teach your grandmother, will you?" |
12405 | We shoot consider''ble sharp-- don''t we?" |
12405 | What do you want?" |
12405 | What else should I catch them with? |
12405 | What shall we be called?" |
12405 | What was he to do? |
12405 | What''ll yer be after doing with the boat?" |
12405 | When do you expect her in port?" |
12405 | Where was it? |
12405 | Why do n''t you come down and see a fellow? |
12405 | Will you take it?" |
12405 | he continued, raising his voice so that William could hear;"wait for us at Uncle Mike''s-- will you?" |
12405 | he exclaimed, on noticing the change in the Speedwell''s appearance,"what have you been trying to do with your old scow?" |
12405 | inquired Archie,"You do n''t pretend to say that the''coons are not in the tree?" |
12405 | repeated Harry, with a laugh,"Whoever heard of such a thing?" |
12405 | said Lee;"that alters the case''tirely-- don''t it, Pete?" |
2087 | Why does individual die? 2087 Will Mr. Lyell say that some[ same?] |
2087 | Will this apply to whole organic kingdom when our planet first cooled? |
2087 | ( Do you not consider it your duty to be there?) |

2087 | And what do you think would be fair terms for an edition? |
2087 | And where you got it? |
2087 | And why can not you come here afterward and WORK?... |
2087 | Are Arctic plants often apetalous? |
2087 | Are not these a jolly lot of assumptions? |
2087 | Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents? |
2087 | Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance? |
2087 | Are you not acting unfairly towards yourself? |
2087 | As for Christ''s, did you ever see such a college for producing Captains and Apostles? |
2087 | As you live on sandy soil, have you lizards at all common? |
2087 | At the end of one of the parts, which was exceedingly impressive, he turned round to me and said, with a deep sigh,''How''s your backbone?''" |
2087 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
2087 | But have we nowhere any last wreck of a continent, in the midst of the ocean? |
2087 | But may I beg of you one favour, it will be doing me the greatest kindness, if you will send me a decided answer, yes or no? |
2087 | But probably the best answer to those who talk of Darwinism meaning the reign of"chance,"is to ask them what they themselves understand by"chance"? |
2087 | But would you like for me to send the last and perfect revises of the sheets as I correct them? |
2087 | By the way, have you read the article, in the''Edinburgh Review,''on M. Comte,''Cours de la Philosophie''( or some such title)? |

2087 | Could I have a clean proof to send to Wallace? |
2087 | Could a better reason be given, if I had been asked, by me, for not giving the plants to the British Museum?") |
2087 | Could you give me any idea how many pages of the Journal could probably be spared me? |
2087 | Could you send it me? |

2087 | How should you like to be suddenly debarred from seeing every person and place, which you have ever known and loved, for five years? |
2087 | How soon shall I come to you in the morning? |
2087 | I dare say you will have thought of measuring exactly the width of any dikes at the top and bottom of any great cliff( which was done by Mr. Searle[?] |
2087 | I had formerly some wild cabbage seeds, which I gave to some one, was it to you? |
2087 | I have almost made up my mind to reject the rule of priority in this case; would you grudge the trouble to send me your opinion? |
2087 | I have had a good deal of correspondence about this matter[ with Henslow? |
2087 | I have had a letter telling me that seeds MUST have GREAT power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands? |
2087 | I have one question to ask: Would it be any good to send a copy of my book to Decaisne? |
2087 | I in one haul of my net took five distinct species; is this not quite extraordinary?... |
2087 | I must get you to introduce me to him; would he be a good and sociable man for Dropmore? |
2087 | I never perceived anything of it, have you? |
2087 | I ought to be ashamed to trouble you so much, but will you SEND ONE LINE to inform me? |
2087 | I quite agree on the little occasional intermigration between lands[ islands?] |
2087 | I read and re- read Humboldt; do you do the same? |
2087 | I remember how strongly I answered, and I presume you wanted to know what I should feel; whoever would have dreamed of your being so crafty? |
2087 | I send it by the car to- morrow morning; if you make up your mind directly will you send me an answer on the following day by the same means? |
2087 | I shall order Bentham; is it not a pity that you should waste time in tabulating varieties? |
2087 | I should EXTREMELY like to see your reasons published in detail, for it"riles"me( this is a proper expression, is it not?) |
2087 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
2087 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
2087 | I was so ignorant I do not even know there were three varieties of Dorking fowl: how do they differ?... |
2087 | If I did publish a short sketch, where on earth should I publish it? |
2087 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |
2087 | In South America to the east, the non- volcanic[ Silla?] |
2087 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
2087 | Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?" |
2087 | Is it not possible that the same circumstances which have preserved the vegetation in situ, should have preserved drifted plants? |
2087 | Is it not so with Cryptogamic plants; have not most of the species wide ranges, in those genera which are mundane? |
2087 | Is it not the case that sailors are prone to settle in domestic and quiet habits? |
2087 | Is it not the only island in the Atlantic which is not volcanic? |
2087 | Is it so? |
2087 | Is not that grand? |
2087 | Is not this a prospect to keep up the most flagging spirit? |
2087 | Is there any breed of Delamere forest ponies? |
2087 | Is there not some grand Russian Flora, which perhaps has varieties marked? |
2087 | Is this not beautiful? |
2087 | Is your Introduction fairly finished? |
2087 | It is simply expressed in a letter to Falconer( 1863? |
2087 | July 14th[ 1857?]. |
2087 | Might not this possibly have been the case with the flukes in their early state? |
2087 | Moor Park, Farnham[ April(?) |
2087 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I enquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
2087 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
2087 | My old Gyp, Impey, was astounded to hear that he was my son, and very simply asked,"Why, has he been long married?" |
2087 | Now what think you? |
2087 | One other question: You used to keep hawks; do you at all know, after eating a bird, how soon after they throw up the pellet? |
2087 | Or are the species so created produced without parents? |
2087 | Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?... |
2087 | Or would the tendency be to record the varieties about equally in genera of all sizes? |
2087 | P.S.--When will you return to Kew? |
2087 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
2087 | Pray tell me what you think? |
2087 | Rice and peas and calavanses are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
2087 | SOMETIME( when you are better) I should like very much to hear a little about your"Little Call Duck"; why so- called? |
2087 | Secondly, can you advise me, whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |
2087 | Share profits, or what? |
2087 | Shrewsbury[ 1845?]. |
2087 | Sir P. Egerton has, I believe, some quite thoroughbred chestnut horses; have any of them the spinal stripe? |
2087 | There have been shot also five Waxen Chatterers, three of which Shaw has for sale; would you like to purchase a specimen? |
2087 | To a NON- BOTANIST the chalk has the most peculiar aspect of any flora in England; why will you not come here to make your observations? |
2087 | Urge the use of the dredge in the Tropics; how little or nothing we know of the limit of life downward in the hot seas? |
2087 | Was it through final causes to keep the plants warm? |
2087 | What do you say to the peculiar Felis there? |
2087 | What is Erasmus''s direction? |
2087 | What is the dose? |
2087 | What on earth shall you do with your boys? |
2087 | What think you? |
2087 | What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon? |
2087 | When a sentence got hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what DO you want to say?" |
2087 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
2087 | Why should Naturalists append their own names to new species, when Mineralogists and Chemists do not do so to new substances? |
2087 | Why? |
2087 | Will not this account for the odd genera with few species which stand between great groups, which we are bound to consider the increasing ones?" |
2087 | Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by RETURN OF POST, saying whether you are now at Cambridge? |
2087 | Will you keep this address? |
2087 | Will you perfect your assistance by further considering, for a little, the subject this way? |
2087 | Will you so far oblige me by occasionally thinking over this? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your head when, if ever, you have leisure? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your mind? |
2087 | Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? |
2087 | Would it not be better at least to share the 72 pounds 8 shillings? |
2087 | Would it not be well in the Alpine plants to append the very same addition which you have now sent me in MS.? |
2087 | Would not this have been a fine excursion, and in sixteen months I should have been with you all? |
2087 | Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness existed in the moon? |
2087 | Would you believe it credible? |
2087 | Would you give such men medals? |
2087 | You idle old wretch, why have you not answered my last letter, which I am sure I forwarded to Clifton nearly three weeks ago? |
2087 | Your remarks on the distinctness( so unpleasant to me) of the Himalayan Rubi, willows, etc., compared with those of northern[ Europe? |
2087 | and all other good friends of dear Cambridge? |
2087 | and do you know any philosophical botanists on the Continent, who read English and care for such subjects? |

2088 | How can water injure the leaves if indeed this is at all the case? |
2088 | Lord Mayor.--Probably the clergyman of the parish might exert some influence over them? 2088 MUST YOU NOT ASSUME A PRIMEVAL CREATIVE POWER WHICH DOES NOT ACT WITH UNIFORMITY, OR HOW COULD MAN SUPERVENE?" |
2088 | Will England play this part? 2088 ( Do you mean LIVING naturalists?) 2088 ( In a letter to Mr. Huxley my father wrote:Have you seen the last"Saturday Review"? |
2088 | ), and I like it much; but did you ever see a book so badly arranged? |
2088 | ); is the paging right, namely, 1, 2, 3? |

2088 | Again, are bloo- protected plants common on your DRY western plains? |
2088 | All that you say seems very sensible, but could a review in the strict sense of the word be filled with readable matter? |
2088 | Also do you know from your own observation that the limbs of sheep imported into the West Indies change colour? |
2088 | And now, can you advise me how to make soil approximately free of all the substances which plants naturally absorb? |
2088 | Are such plants commoner in warm than in colder climates? |
2088 | Are the IMPERFECT flowers of your Specularia the early or the later ones? |
2088 | Are there any bloo- protected leaves or fruit in the Arctic regions? |
2088 | Are they brightly coloured kinds? |
2088 | Are you inclined to aid me on the mere chance of success, for without your aid I could do hardly anything?"] |
2088 | Are you sure that the Hive- bee is the cutter? |
2088 | As an account of the movement, I shall allude to what I suppose is Oncidium, to make CERTAIN,--is the enclosed flower with crumpled petals this genus? |
2088 | But does not the difficulty rest much on our silently assuming that we know more than we do? |
2088 | But how is it in the conjugation of Confervae-- is not one of the two individuals here in fact male, and the other female? |
2088 | But of what avail is his honest speech, if ignorance is the assessor of the judge, and prejudice the foreman of the jury? |
2088 | CARD PLAYING? |
2088 | CHESS? |
2088 | COLOURING? |
2088 | COMPLETENESS? |
2088 | Can aquatic plants, being confined to a small area or small community of individuals, require more free crossing, and therefore have separate sexes? |
2088 | Can you give me any light? |
2088 | Can you let me have it soon, with those confounded dashes over the vowels put in carefully? |
2088 | Can you pay us a visit, early in December?... |
2088 | Can you spare time for a line to our dear Mrs. Cameron? |
2088 | Can you suggest any plan? |
2088 | Can you tell me whether you believe further or more firmly than you did at first? |
2088 | Can you throw any light on this? |
2088 | Chief omissions? |
2088 | Colour of hair? |
2088 | Conducive to health or otherwise? |
2088 | Conducive to or restrictive of habits of observation? |
2088 | Could you spare me a photograph of yourself? |
2088 | Could you tell me pretty soon what plants you can give me; and then I shall know what to order? |
2088 | DEFINITION? |
2088 | Development is a better word, because more close to the cause of the fact? |
2088 | Did you ever hear of her? |

2088 | Here is another point; have you any toucans? |
2088 | Hooker says you did; where is it? |
2088 | Hooker:] Dear Sir, Will you excuse my venturing to ask you a question, to which no one''s answer but your own would be quite satisfactory? |
2088 | How about photographs? |
2088 | How absurd that logical quibble--"if species do not exist, how can they vary?" |
2088 | How could a complex organisation profit a monad? |
2088 | How could the wind, which is the agent of fertilisation, with Plantago, fertilise"reciprocally dimorphic"flowers like Primula? |

2088 | I constantly asked myself, would a stranger care for this? |
2088 | I dare say I have not been guarded enough, but might not the term inferiority include less perfect adaptation to physical conditions? |
2088 | I find my old results about the astonishing sensitiveness of the nervous system(!? |
2088 | I have been trying a good many experiments with heated water... Should you not call the following case one of heat rigor? |
2088 | I never knew that he wrote in the"Saturday"; and was it not an odd chance?" |
2088 | I suppose that there are no organic fluids which plants would absorb, and which I could procure? |

2088 | If you should happen to be ACQUAINTED with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is? |
2088 | In the first place, at page 480, it can not surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species? |
2088 | Indeed, any dried dimorphic plants would be gratefully received... Did my Lythrum paper interest you? |
2088 | Is a shudder akin to the rigor or shivering before fever? |
2088 | Is it not also a difficulty that quadrupeds appear to recognise plants more by their[ scent] than their appearance? |
2088 | Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body? |
2088 | Is it not humiliating to be thus killed by a man of eighty- six, who evidently never dreamed that he was killing me? |
2088 | Is not this latter case heat rigor? |
2088 | Is not this marvellous? |
2088 | Is not your feeling a remnant of the deeply impressed one on all our minds, that a species is an entity, something quite distinct from a variety? |
2088 | Is she aught but a pestilent abstraction, like dust cast in our eyes to obscure the workings of an Intelligent First Cause of all?" |
2088 | Is there any analogous term used by German breeders of animals? |

23497 | Do you see? 23497 Do you think it is right?" |
23497 | Do you think there is nothing of the kind, then? |
23497 | Drop you and your boat out at sea? |
23497 | Eat us? |
23497 | Face? 23497 Five- and- twenty, then?" |
23497 | Fun? |
23497 | Going to fire, uncle? |
23497 | Going up the rivers, air you? |
23497 | Good job he did n''t begin eating of you, ai n''t it, sir? |
23497 | Had n''t we better get into shelter? |
23497 | Had n''t you better let her go down a bit, sir? |
23497 | Have n''t you seen him? |
23497 | Have n''t you shot it, sir? |
23497 | Have you any other reason? |
23497 | Hear anything, Nat? |
23497 | Hear that, Master Nat? |
23497 | Here, I say, you have n''t gone and knocked your direction off your knowledge box, have you? |
23497 | Here,he cried gruffly,"what d''ye mean by scaring a fellow like that?" |
23497 | How big was it? |
23497 | How d''yer feel now, Master Nat? |
23497 | How do you know? |
23497 | How far are we from the coast? |
23497 | How far do you think we''ve come, sir, now? |
23497 | How is it you came, then? |
23497 | How much more is there to come, Nat? |
23497 | How should I? |
23497 | How stupid? |
23497 | How was it? |
23497 | How? |
23497 | Hurt? |
23497 | I say, what did you say was the name of them big snakes that lives part of their time in the water? |
23497 | I say, what''s in the pot? |
23497 | I say; doctor, air you mad? |
23497 | I telled him I''d come to say good- bye, for as soon as it was too dark for them to see to save me I was going to--"Run away? |
23497 | If he drowned himself and went to the bottom, how was I ever to get the chance to hit him, sir? |
23497 | If it is calm in the morning, as soon as we are within sight of land--"What land? |
23497 | Is he all right, sir? |
23497 | Is he, sir? |
23497 | Is my face better, Mr Nat? |
23497 | Is n''t this wild enough? |
23497 | Is that the sort of bird you mean? |
23497 | Is them owls, sir? |
23497 | Is this all true? |
23497 | Jaguar or puma? |
23497 | Keep on, sir? |
23497 | Keep them? 23497 Like to know exactly, Nat?" |
23497 | Long green, blue, red, and yellow feathers in its tail? |
23497 | Look at what? |
23497 | Macaw-- Ara,said my uncle;"flying across from tree to tree?" |
23497 | Make you feel sick, Nat? |
23497 | Master Nat,whispered Pete,"am I to come too?" |
23497 | Mind what? |
23497 | Name? 23497 Nattralist?" |
23497 | Not our ship? |
23497 | Not seized by one of the loathsome monsters? |
23497 | Not send you? |
23497 | Now, are n''t there no birds with tails like that? |
23497 | Poisoned, uncle? |
23497 | Pray why? |
23497 | Pray, how big were they? |
23497 | Ready to begin again, Nat? |
23497 | Rowed? |
23497 | Running? |
23497 | See any sign of them? |
23497 | See anything yet? |
23497 | Seen a big snake? |
23497 | Seen or heard anything, Cross? |
23497 | Shall I shoot, uncle? |
23497 | Shall we have the lanthorn, and I''ll stoop down and see if the roof gets higher farther in? |
23497 | Shall we take our loads with us, uncle? |
23497 | Shot at you? |
23497 | Six- footer? 23497 So you mean to stop here, then?" |
23497 | Still of the same mind, doctor? |
23497 | Suppose they are savages with bows and arrows? |
23497 | Suppose what? |
23497 | Sure she''s gone, Master Nat? |
23497 | Sure? 23497 Swim? |
23497 | That snorting croak, then? |
23497 | The big cat, sir? |
23497 | Them big poll parrots, sir? 23497 Then he''s there now?" |
23497 | Then we may stop with you, Master Nat? |
23497 | Then we shall find the advantage, uncle, of having a little crew, and-- what''s the matter now? |
23497 | Then we''re coming back? |
23497 | Then what had you left undone? |
23497 | There are birds with brightly- coloured tails such as he said? |
23497 | Through the dark cavern? |
23497 | To shoot the mosquitoes, uncle? |
23497 | Told him you were going to run away? |
23497 | Took one of the ship''s boats and stole away with it? |
23497 | Trouble again, sir? |
23497 | Was it all a dream? |
23497 | Was it you two who came to the fire last night? |
23497 | Was one hit? |
23497 | Well, Cross,I said to the carpenter,"will this be fun enough for you?" |
23497 | Well, Nat, what do you say? 23497 Well, captain,"he said,"having a word with my nephew about our boat?" |
23497 | Well, doctor,he said;"been thinking it all over?" |
23497 | Well, fifty? |
23497 | Well, what are you going to live on? |
23497 | Well, what do you make of her? |
23497 | Well, what is it? 23497 Well, where is he?" |
23497 | Wet, sir? 23497 What about Bill?" |
23497 | What about going back, uncle? |
23497 | What are we to do then, uncle? |
23497 | What bird''s that? |
23497 | What can I do? |
23497 | What can you see? |
23497 | What did they call you, Pete? |
23497 | What did you do that for, Master Nat? |
23497 | What do you think is making that? |
23497 | What goes again? |
23497 | What had you been about? |
23497 | What has he found? |
23497 | What have you been doing? 23497 What have you lost?" |
23497 | What is it, Nat? |
23497 | What shall I do then, Master Nat? 23497 What shall I do, Master Nat?" |
23497 | What sound? |
23497 | What time do you say? |
23497 | What time is it, then? |
23497 | What was that horrible cry? |
23497 | What''s that? |
23497 | What''s that? |
23497 | What''s the matter, Nat? |
23497 | What''s the other''s name? |
23497 | What''s the use? |
23497 | What''s your name? |
23497 | What, are you tired already? |
23497 | What, to take the axe? |
23497 | What, tried to get under that horrible dark arch? 23497 What?" |
23497 | Where are they? |
23497 | Where are you, Pete? |
23497 | Where did the hail come from, Nat? |
23497 | Where is your boat? |
23497 | Where was it stuck on-- your back? |
23497 | Where''s the boy? |
23497 | Which? |
23497 | Who was going to shout when there was a great snake curled up in knots like a ship''s fender right over your head? 23497 Why are you doing that?" |
23497 | Why do n''t you speak out and tell the gentleman, Bill Cross? |
23497 | Why not strike off, then, from the top of the great cliff above the arch, and try and find where the stream dives down? |
23497 | Why not yours? |
23497 | Why not? 23497 Why not?" |
23497 | Why not? |
23497 | Why not? |
23497 | Why, Bill,I said,"has he gone mad?" |
23497 | Why, sir? 23497 Why, you miserable, wicked young rascal, how dare you tell me such a thing as that?" |
23497 | Why? |
23497 | Why? |
23497 | Why? |
23497 | Why? |
23497 | Will he, sir? 23497 Would n''t it be better to keep on up it? |
23497 | Would you mind doing it? |
23497 | Yes, sir, and it''ll just be a treat; for I have n''t had much of the fun so far, have I? |
23497 | Yes? |
23497 | You warn''t with him there, was you? |
23497 | You will take me if you go again, Master Nat? |
23497 | You wo n''t mind, Cross? |
23497 | You would n''t like an eye like that, sir? |
23497 | You''ve seen them with tails as long as that? |
23497 | ` Where am I to run to?'' 23497 All at once he broke the silence by whispering,--Asleep, Nat?" |
23497 | And what then?" |
23497 | Any other reason?" |
23497 | Are n''t you, sir?" |
23497 | Are you killed?" |
23497 | But the doctor says it would shake him too much, so what do you say to this? |
23497 | But what about fresh water?" |
23497 | Can you see their canoe?" |
23497 | Clean?" |
23497 | Did n''t you see us hunting for you?" |
23497 | Did we leave anything behind? |
23497 | Did you forget to wind it up?" |
23497 | Do n''t you wish we had Ebo here?" |
23497 | Do you call me something?" |
23497 | Do you know what fevers is?" |
23497 | Do you?" |
23497 | For, as the water rattled again under the bows and we glided on, I shouted aloud--"Pete, lad, where are you?" |
23497 | Going back now?" |
23497 | Going up yonder to try and find the river again farther on, are n''t we?" |
23497 | Had n''t we better call the carpenter Man?" |
23497 | Hardly room to move, eh, carpenter?" |
23497 | He''s a_ re- lay- tive_ of yours, is n''t he?" |
23497 | He''s going shooting, is n''t he?" |
23497 | Hear that?" |
23497 | How do you feel?" |
23497 | How have you got on?" |
23497 | How shall we find the place where it narrows again?" |
23497 | I said, smiling;"how''s the eye this morning?" |
23497 | I say, though,"I cried,"will you keep your face clean if you''re allowed to stay?" |
23497 | I say, you are n''t much hurt, are you, sir?" |
23497 | I say: who was right about the axe?" |
23497 | Is n''t it a beauty?" |
23497 | Is the anchor quite fast?" |
23497 | It''s Peter, I know; but-- I say, Bill Cross,"he cried sharply,"what''s my name?" |
23497 | It''s a pity Nat; for there are plenty of birds about, and we could get some good specimens.--Yes; what is it?" |
23497 | Light a fire?" |
23497 | Me and Bill Cross''ll take it in turns pig- a- backing him; wo n''t we mate?" |
23497 | Not hurt, are you, Nat?" |
23497 | Now then, Cuvier, where is the happy spot? |
23497 | Now then, any sign of the enemy?" |
23497 | Now, Nat, what is it? |
23497 | One of the howling monkeys?" |
23497 | Ought not the quetzals to be found in a place like this?" |
23497 | Over yonder?" |
23497 | S''pose I build a raft, and we go back the same as we come?" |
23497 | See it?" |
23497 | See their tracks?" |
23497 | Shall I run back and tell the doctor?" |
23497 | Shall we explore the underground river?" |
23497 | Then I began to think that I should be torn to pieces and devoured, and my next vivid thought took the form of a question-- Will it hurt much? |
23497 | Think I wanted to wake him up? |
23497 | Uncle Dick laid his hand upon my shoulder, and he pressed it hard, as if silently saying,"Did you hear that?" |
23497 | Want to take it?" |
23497 | Was it close to the trunk, my lad?" |
23497 | Well, my lad, in trouble again?" |
23497 | Well, they wo n''t hurt us, sir?" |
23497 | What are you thinking about?" |
23497 | What do you say, Cross?" |
23497 | What do you say?" |
23497 | What is it-- granite or gneiss?" |
23497 | What shall I do now, sir? |
23497 | What shall I do? |
23497 | What snake is it?" |
23497 | What time do we start to- morrow?" |
23497 | What time is it?" |
23497 | What was it?" |
23497 | What''s that, Cross?" |
23497 | What''s the good o''living such a life as this?" |
23497 | What''s this here? |
23497 | What''s to be done?" |
23497 | Where''s the lanthorn?" |
23497 | Where''s your hankychy?" |
23497 | Which way shall we try?" |
23497 | Who are you, and what are you doing here?" |
23497 | Who''d have thought of seeing humming- birds so near the sea?" |
23497 | Who''s being bullied now?" |
23497 | Why, was n''t it alive with birds and bats?" |
23497 | Will you try?" |
23497 | You did, did n''t you, mate?" |
23497 | You''ll tell us when to fire, sir?" |
23497 | You''ve tried it, then?" |
23497 | ` You are?'' |
23497 | cried Pete in a whimpering voice;"touch me when I''m going for some water for Master Nat? |
23497 | cried the poor fellow fiercely,"leave me behind, and you go? |
23497 | he said;"you do n''t think, then, that the stream rises entirely there?" |
23497 | who are you?" |
23497 | you''ve sent your boat adrift?" |
21356 | A bark canoe, eh, Nat? |
21356 | A target, uncle? |
21356 | A trogon, sir? |
21356 | Ah, Nat,he said smiling,"how are you after your long sleep?" |
21356 | Am I very much more sunburnt than I used to be? |
21356 | Am I, sir? |
21356 | And Aunt Sophy? |
21356 | And are there humming- birds, sir, in the East? |
21356 | And are there no birds of paradise there, uncle? |
21356 | And are you going to stuff Polly again? |
21356 | And can you shoot such little things, sir? |
21356 | And did you shoot them all, uncle? |
21356 | And do you feel sure, uncle, that there are no savages here? |
21356 | And do you know what they are, my boy? |
21356 | And have you seen birds like these alive, sir? |
21356 | And how about getting up in good time? |
21356 | And how do you preserve the skins? |
21356 | And humming- birds, sir? |
21356 | And it is a thrush, uncle? |
21356 | And may I go-- will you take me, Uncle Dick? 21356 And of an evening we could sit in our tent or hut, and skin and preserve, or pin out what we had found during the day, Nat, eh?" |
21356 | And shot, sir? |
21356 | And what do they capture, sir? |
21356 | And what is to become of the boy then? |
21356 | And what''s in these drawers, eh? |
21356 | And when they cry` cuckoo''the summer draws near, eh, Nat? 21356 And you would not mind coming out at a time like this, uncle?" |
21356 | Any luck, Nat? |
21356 | Anything the matter, Nat? |
21356 | Are cuckoos''eggs small, uncle? |
21356 | Are there more birds? |
21356 | Are there tree bull- frogs, uncle? |
21356 | Are they poisonous, then? |
21356 | Are they worth trying to shoot, uncle? |
21356 | At the sea- gulls, uncle? |
21356 | Back to South America, Dick? |
21356 | Bit too rough for that, mister, is n''t it? |
21356 | But I thought, uncle,I said,"that they were very dangerous, and that those krises they wore were poisoned?" |
21356 | But am I going to be very ill, uncle? |
21356 | But are you very cross with me? |
21356 | But do n''t it seem rather cruel to shoot such lovely creatures, Dick? |
21356 | But do n''t you mean to go to Malacca, uncle? |
21356 | But do these lovely creatures suck all the little birds''eggs to make their voices clear? |
21356 | But do you think it is a good gun, uncle? 21356 But how could we make the sides watertight, uncle?" |
21356 | But how shall we know if I hit it? |
21356 | But if aunt would be very cross, uncle, had n''t I better leave it? |
21356 | But is it rough out there, uncle, amongst the islands? |
21356 | But it will be easier to shoot from the ground than from on shipboard, uncle, will it not? |
21356 | But shall you stay here long, uncle? |
21356 | But such birds as birds of paradise, uncle? |
21356 | But the boy must not run wild as--"I did? 21356 But why do you say that?" |
21356 | But why does it seem queer, Nat? |
21356 | But would n''t you kill lions and tigers, sir? |
21356 | But you do n''t think they can talk to one another, do you, uncle? |
21356 | But you knew you could manage the boat, uncle? |
21356 | But you would n''t eat parrots, uncle, lories, and paroquets, and these sort of birds? |
21356 | But, uncle,I said,"is n''t it unreasonable of Aunt Sophia to expect us to do what all the king''s horses and all the king''s men could not do?" |
21356 | But-- but you would n''t like to go with your Uncle Richard, Nat, would you? |
21356 | Ca n''t we take him, uncle? |
21356 | Collecting- boxes, Nat? |
21356 | Cross, my boy? 21356 Deceitful, uncle?" |
21356 | Did I, uncle? |
21356 | Did you ever fire off a gun? |
21356 | Did you see it? |
21356 | Did you see its great beak, uncle? |
21356 | Did you think I was going to open the cases to- day, Nat? |
21356 | Do n''t be stupid, Joe,said my aunt sharply;"why should n''t the boy go, I should like to know?" |
21356 | Do n''t you feel disappointed, Nat? |
21356 | Do you collect, sir? |
21356 | Do you like to hear of such things, then? |
21356 | Do you see how ill and white this boy has turned, Richard? 21356 Do you see those mountains, Nat?" |
21356 | Do you think any naturalist has been here before, uncle? |
21356 | Do you think he will be ready to help kill the serpent, uncle? |
21356 | Do you think it will come this way, uncle? |
21356 | Do you think, Nat, that I have been leading you wrong? |
21356 | Do, my boy? 21356 Does he fly out into tempers like that, Nat?" |
21356 | Eh? 21356 Eh?" |
21356 | Fever, uncle? |
21356 | First? 21356 Get on?" |
21356 | Had n''t I better come, uncle? |
21356 | Have n''t I hit them, uncle? |
21356 | Have n''t you, my lad? |
21356 | Have some lessons, eh? |
21356 | Have you forgotten all I told you about the representatives of our home birds being bright in colour? |
21356 | Have you, Nat, my boy? |
21356 | Have you, Nat? |
21356 | Have you, uncle? |
21356 | How do you know? |
21356 | How is it possible? 21356 How soon can we get ashore?" |
21356 | How would you manage it then, Nat? |
21356 | How? |
21356 | Hurt, Nat? |
21356 | I am glad, my boy,said Uncle Joseph,"so glad you have caught him; but have you hurt him much?" |
21356 | I know there are in Borneo, so why should there not be others in an island like this? |
21356 | I say, uncle, is n''t this all nonsense? |
21356 | If it were a starling, what family would it belong to? |
21356 | In a couple of hours, now, Nat; but I said will this place do? |
21356 | Is it an earthquake, uncle? |
21356 | Is it very late? |
21356 | Is that a pigeon, uncle? |
21356 | Like to go with you, Dick? |
21356 | Look through? |
21356 | Make skins, sir? |
21356 | Mind? 21356 No, Nat,"he replied, joining in my mirth;"but do you see how different they are to our sailors here?" |
21356 | No, uncle, of course not; but wo n''t you be dull? |
21356 | Now then, Joseph; what did you say? |
21356 | Now what are those, Nat? |
21356 | Now, Nat,he cried,"where is your geography? |
21356 | Now, Nat,he said,"suppose after going through all my trouble I find that half my specimens are destroyed, what shall I do?" |
21356 | Oh yes, uncle,I said;"but may I pull it to pieces?" |
21356 | Oh you wicked, wicked boy,she cried as I came up;"what were you doing?" |
21356 | Oh, please, sir, are you Master Nathaniel, who''s far away at sea? |
21356 | Or shoot out Jane''s or Cook''s eye? 21356 Our boat, uncle?" |
21356 | Ready? |
21356 | Shall I fire again, uncle? |
21356 | Shall I shoot it, uncle? |
21356 | Shall I try and draw a snake, uncle? |
21356 | Shall we be able to make one big enough to carry our chests, uncle? |
21356 | Shall we follow the monster and try and shoot it? |
21356 | Shall we go round the garden again, Dick? |
21356 | Shall you go alone, uncle? |
21356 | Shall you have it skinned, uncle? |
21356 | Shall you keep your loaded gun with you always, uncle, while we are with these people? |
21356 | Shall you take the guns, uncle? |
21356 | So far, so good, Nat,he said;"now are you very hungry?" |
21356 | So you think we could not put Humpty Dumpty together again, Nat? |
21356 | Speak out then, my boy, what is it? |
21356 | Suppose they did, Nat, what would happen? |
21356 | Taught yourself? |
21356 | That is not cocoa- nut, is it, uncle? |
21356 | That lovely buff bird, uncle? |
21356 | The bird? 21356 Then how are we to get any?" |
21356 | Then what''s to be done, uncle? |
21356 | Then why did you say it was capital, uncle? |
21356 | Then you wo n''t be too prejudiced to eat them? |
21356 | Then-- then, had n''t we much better go ashore at once, uncle? |
21356 | There, Nat,said my uncle;"do you hear that?" |
21356 | They are the wickedest thieves that ever entered a garden; are n''t they, Nat? |
21356 | They could n''t be crows,I said,"because--""Because what?" |
21356 | Think not, Nat? |
21356 | Think so? |
21356 | Think there''s anything inside, Natty, my boy? |
21356 | Think you can, Natty? |
21356 | To be sure, Nat,he cried smiling;"nothing like trying, my boy; but how would you begin?" |
21356 | To be sure, Nat,he replied, laughing;"but where are paper, pencil, or chalk? |
21356 | To be sure, Nat; why not? 21356 To be sure, my boy,"said uncle, thoughtfully;"I wonder whether your aunt would want Buzzy and Nap stuffed if they were to die?" |
21356 | Uncle Dick,I said one day,"shall we ever have another trip together collecting birds?" |
21356 | Was it dangerous to come out to- day, uncle, in this little boat? |
21356 | We must take what he shows us for granted, Nat,said my uncle, as Ebo jumped up smiling, as much as to say,"Was n''t I clever?" |
21356 | Well, I have pulled her to pieces, have n''t I, uncle? |
21356 | Well, Nat, what do you think of our visitors? |
21356 | Well, Nat, will that place do for a beginning? |
21356 | Well, Nat,he said,"is our wild- goose chase nearly at an end? |
21356 | Well, Nat,said Uncle Dick,"what do you say to that?" |
21356 | Well, Nat,said my uncle,"what''s to be done? |
21356 | Well, it is n''t a pheasant, is it? |
21356 | Well, my boy, do you suppose I shall be frightened? |
21356 | Well, of course you did,said my aunt tartly;"do you suppose I thought you stopped to live in the museum?" |
21356 | Well, should you think it were a finch, Nat? |
21356 | Well, was n''t that right of him, uncle? |
21356 | Well, what should you suppose a bird of paradise to be? |
21356 | Well, yes, my boy,he said;"but, but-- how about your aunt? |
21356 | What are we to do then, uncle? |
21356 | What did you do that for? |
21356 | What do you say, Nat? |
21356 | What does he mean by that, uncle? |
21356 | What does he mean, uncle? |
21356 | What for, Nat? |
21356 | What is it, then, Nat? |
21356 | What is it, uncle? |
21356 | What is it, uncle? |
21356 | What is it, uncle? |
21356 | What is it? |
21356 | What is the matter, my boy; are you poorly? |
21356 | What is to be done? |
21356 | What place is it, then? |
21356 | What shall we do now? |
21356 | What then? 21356 What then?" |
21356 | What was it, uncle? |
21356 | What would they be if they were in England and only plain- coloured? |
21356 | What''s horrid, Natty? |
21356 | What, build a hut, uncle? |
21356 | What, my boy? |
21356 | What, that black star? 21356 When you come back?" |
21356 | Where are we going, I wonder? |
21356 | Where did the others go? |
21356 | Where did you get these, Nat? |
21356 | Where did you shoot that beautiful lory, uncle? |
21356 | Where does he mean to go? 21356 Where shall you go this time, sir?" |
21356 | Where to, uncle? |
21356 | Where was it when you fired? |
21356 | Where''s Uncle Joseph? |
21356 | Who-- who''s that? |
21356 | Why not, Nat? 21356 Why not, boy? |
21356 | Why not, my boy? 21356 Why not?" |
21356 | Why not? |
21356 | Why, Nat, my boy, what''s the matter? 21356 Why, Uncle Joe,"I cried, with a curious choking feeling coming in my throat,"you do n''t think I could ever forget you?" |
21356 | Why, how do you know? |
21356 | Why, my boy? |
21356 | Why, my boy? |
21356 | Why, uncle? |
21356 | Why, what do you mean, uncle? |
21356 | Why, what does he mean, uncle? |
21356 | Why, what does this mean? |
21356 | Why, what is it, my boy? |
21356 | Why, what''s that-- a crossbow? |
21356 | Why, who was Polly-- one of the maids? |
21356 | Why, why, why-- what have you been doing to him, Dick? |
21356 | Will it hurt me, uncle? |
21356 | Will she be very cross? |
21356 | Will they burn well? |
21356 | Will you-- will you show it to me, sir? |
21356 | With a blow- pipe, sir? |
21356 | Without looking, uncle? |
21356 | Wo n''t you fish, uncle? |
21356 | Wo n''t you have some dinner first, uncle? |
21356 | Would he? 21356 Would n''t it be better to go and tell Aunt Sophia frankly that we have had an accident, and spoiled the parrot, uncle?" |
21356 | Would such a serpent be very strong, uncle? |
21356 | Would you mind taking him to your aunt, Natty, my boy? |
21356 | Yes, Nat,he said;"what is it?" |
21356 | Yes, uncle, but shall we see wonderful lands such as I should like? |
21356 | Yes, uncle; is n''t it a beauty? |
21356 | Yes, yes, you will, wo n''t you? |
21356 | Yes,said Uncle Joe quickly,"but how about the night?" |
21356 | Yes,said my uncle,"and I know--""Know what, uncle?" |
21356 | You can stuff birds, then, sir? |
21356 | You could n''t spoil it, could you? |
21356 | You did n''t rub the earth and dead leaves in his coat then, Nat? |
21356 | You did what? |
21356 | You mean that the savages will kill us if we land? |
21356 | You will go where all the most beautiful birds are plentiful, uncle? |
21356 | You will not be afraid? |
21356 | You would n''t like to shoot a blackbird, perhaps? |
21356 | You would n''t mind, would you, uncle? |
21356 | You? 21356 You?" |
21356 | ` Come, papa,''I said,` what do you think of your little one?'' 21356 And found out where the naturalists put the wires, eh? |
21356 | Are these mountains?" |
21356 | Are you ready?" |
21356 | Are you unwell?" |
21356 | Been fishing, eh?" |
21356 | But do n''t you think, Natty, we might still manage to put Humpty Dumpty together again?" |
21356 | But do you think it will do?" |
21356 | But then what was the body to be made of? |
21356 | Can you tell me, sir?" |
21356 | Do n''t you hear the birds calling?" |
21356 | Do n''t you know?" |
21356 | Do you like it, Nat-- do you like it?" |
21356 | Do you not think, my boy, you have chosen badly? |
21356 | Do you see that?" |
21356 | Do you suppose that because birds have bright feathers they are not good to eat?" |
21356 | Do you?" |
21356 | Does it seem dry?" |
21356 | Have you heard it lately?" |
21356 | Have you recognised that chief this morning?" |
21356 | He stared at me from top to toe, and at last said in a trembling voice:"You''re not my boy Nat?" |
21356 | Here, uncle?" |
21356 | How are we to make a boat?" |
21356 | How could I get one to try with?" |
21356 | How do you expect his education to get on?" |
21356 | How do you feel now?" |
21356 | Humpty Dumpty? |
21356 | I hope you like bitters, Nat?" |
21356 | I know how soft and rounded and smooth birds are; and did you ever see such a horrid thing as that? |
21356 | I pull this lever and the breech of the gun opens so that I can put in this little roll, which is a cartridge-- do you see?" |
21356 | Is anything wrong?" |
21356 | Is anything wrong?" |
21356 | Is it an eel?" |
21356 | Is land in sight?" |
21356 | Is n''t it lovely, my boy, under this blue sky and shading trees?" |
21356 | Is that the place, uncle?" |
21356 | It used to be,"Nat, have you wiped your shoes?" |
21356 | Monsieur Ebony-- pigeon?" |
21356 | No, my boy,"he said, rubbing his hands softly;"I should like it; but do you think you could stuff a bird?" |
21356 | Now then, which shall it be?" |
21356 | Now what do you say? |
21356 | Now, Nat, what do you say-- which was in fault last time?" |
21356 | Polly? |
21356 | Shall I get the guns out of the cases?" |
21356 | Should I wake Uncle Dick, or should I try to be brave enough to deal with the danger myself? |
21356 | Should I waken my uncle? |
21356 | Should there be tigers, or leopards, or even wild boars, what chance should we have if they attacked? |
21356 | So you pulled Polly to pieces, eh? |
21356 | Suppose you were to break a window with that, eh? |
21356 | Taxi what?" |
21356 | That''s the way; but stop a moment; how would you put it together again?" |
21356 | Then why did you come?" |
21356 | There was a pause for a time, and then he said again,"Well, Nat, will you give up?" |
21356 | This was a very pretty theory; but would not they make some noise as they came, and if so, where was that noise? |
21356 | Thrushes would be good, would n''t they?" |
21356 | We naturalists always compare notes-- eh, Nat?" |
21356 | Well, Nat, what is it?" |
21356 | Well, how are you?" |
21356 | Well, what shall we do with them?" |
21356 | Well, why is it?" |
21356 | What are you both doing?" |
21356 | What do you say-- will you come?" |
21356 | What do you say?" |
21356 | What do you think of that bird?" |
21356 | What does it matter if you do miss? |
21356 | What has he to fret about?" |
21356 | What has the poor cuckoo done that his hot country friends should not be gay?" |
21356 | What is more familiar than the old hen''s cry to her chickens when she has found something eatable? |
21356 | What kind of a handle would you like, Nat?" |
21356 | What made you put that tomtit in that position, Nat?" |
21356 | What say you, Joe?" |
21356 | What should we do?" |
21356 | What was it made by-- some kind of crow?" |
21356 | What would Uncle Joe say?" |
21356 | What would become of us when our food and powder and shot were gone? |
21356 | What''s become of all the savages?" |
21356 | What''s that?" |
21356 | What''s that?" |
21356 | What''s that?" |
21356 | Where''s Uncle Joe?" |
21356 | Who taught you how to stuff birds, Nat?" |
21356 | Why did I not spring up to help him? |
21356 | Why do n''t you come and drive these people away? |
21356 | Why do n''t you try to land there?" |
21356 | Why not at once, eh?" |
21356 | Why, here''s Sophy-- Sophy, dear, who''s this?" |
21356 | Why, look here, Nat, what do parrots eat?" |
21356 | Why, what are you sighing about, boy?" |
21356 | You do n''t want to eat your birds raw, do you?" |
21356 | You see I half told her that it would be done to- day, and I''m afraid--""Oh, uncle, why did you tell her that?" |
21356 | You would like to come and see my collection, eh?" |
21356 | You''ll be careful, though?" |
21356 | are you going to eat those-- those--""Pigeons?" |
21356 | birds of paradise with their lovely buff plumes, uncle?" |
21356 | cried my uncle,"is n''t that waste, Nat?" |
21356 | cried our visitor;"who stuffed those birds?" |
21356 | do their tails go right along the box, uncle?" |
21356 | has he?" |
21356 | he said seriously,"parrot''s toe?" |
21356 | is he not good to eat?" |
21356 | is there?" |
21356 | said my aunt;"take him with you right away on your travels?" |
21356 | stop a minute: where are you going?" |
21356 | that lovely orange and black bird, uncle?" |
21356 | that rocky place, uncle?" |
21356 | to attack it, Nat?" |
21356 | we are talking about barn- door fowls and losing chances to get lovely specimens of foreign birds and-- what''s that?" |
21356 | what is Ebo doing?" |
21356 | what place is that?" |
21356 | what''s he going to do?" |
21356 | what''s that?" |
21356 | what''s the matter with Ebo?" |
21356 | what''s the matter with Ebo?" |
21356 | where shall I go, squire?" |
21356 | where''s that, I wonder?" |

2740 | I have been much interested by what you say on the rostellum exciting pollen to protrude tubes; but are you sure that the rostellum does excite them? |
2740 | I have lately observed that you have one great authority( C. Prevost),[ not] that authority signifies a[ farthing?] |
2740 | I presume that these seeds can not be covered with any attractive pulp? |

2740 | I wonder whether the ovules could be thus fertilised? |
2740 | If so, can the wrinkling of the lower eyelids, which has often perplexed me, act in pushing back the eyeball? |

2740 | If you chance to meet Ramsay will you ask him whether he has it? |
2740 | If you have reflected on this point, what do you think of it? |

2740 | If you want to know further particulars of my experiments on Monochaetum(?) |
2740 | In an old note of yours( which I have just found) you say that you have a sensitive Schrankia: could this be lent me? |
2740 | In any case, how in the name of Heaven can it make a hollow in solid rock, which surely must be a work of many years? |
2740 | In such cases what outline do you give to the upper surface of the lava in the dike connecting them? |

2740 | May not a volcano be likened to a protruding and cracked portion on a vast natural high- pressure boiler, formed by the surrounding area of country? |
2740 | May there be some sexual relation between A. Loddigesii and luteola; they seem very close? |
2740 | Muller wrote:"Are the three which grow near each other seedlings from the same mother- plant or perhaps from seeds of the same capsule? |
2740 | Now is not this structure a good argument that I interpret the homologies of the sides of clinandrum rightly? |
2740 | Now the question is, what think you of the offer? |
2740 | Now, can you tell me whether each spine has likewise an oblique unstriped or striped muscle, as figured by Lister? |
2740 | Now, could you open the stomachs of these ants and examine the contents, so as to prove or disprove this remarkable hypothesis? |
2740 | Now, if in your power, would you observe the position of the pistil in different plants, in lately opened flowers of the same age? |
2740 | Now, is this not odd? |
2740 | Now, some persons can move the skin of their hairy heads; and is this not effected by the panniculus? |

2740 | The map of Etna, which I have been just looking at, looks like a sudden falling in, does it not? |
2740 | These notions are at least possible, and would they not vitiate your argument? |
2740 | Thirdly: Can you give me seeds of any Rubiaceae of the sub- order Cinchoneae, as Spermacoce, Diodia, Mitchella, Oldenlandia? |

2740 | Would it be worth while to send a corrected copy of the"Courant"to the"Gardeners''Chronicle?" |
2740 | Would it not be better to dye the tail alone and crown of head, so as not to make too great difference? |
2740 | Would it not be truer to say that Nature cares only for the superior individuals and then makes her new and better races? |
2740 | Would it not be worth while to borrow one of these from Sir H. James as a curiosity to hang up? |
2740 | Would not the Atlantic and Antarctic volcanoes be the best examples for you, as there then can be no coral mud to depress the bottom? |
2740 | Would not tubes protrude if placed on parts of column or base of petals, etc., near to the stigma? |

2739 | At page 189 I quote Henslow( confirmed by Gunther) on Mus messorius( and other species?) |
2739 | But does this hold with South- West Australia or the Cape? |
2739 | But even taking this definition, are you sure that alpine forms are not inherited from one, two, or three generations? |
2739 | But how durst you attack a live bishop in that fashion? |
2739 | But what on earth has a mere suggestion like this to do with meum and tuum? |
2739 | But will not your brother artists scorn you for showing yourself so good an evolutionist? |
2739 | By the way, I met the other day Phillips, the palaeontologist, and he asked me,"How do you define a species?" |
2739 | By the way, have you read Tylor and Lecky? |

2739 | Can you not see that this suggests the conclusion that the plants are derived one way and the birds another? |
2739 | Can you refer me to any one or two books( for my power of reading is not great) which would illumine me? |
2739 | Can you remember any such account? |
2739 | Can you tell me( and I will promise to inflict no other question) whether climate explains this greater affinity? |

2739 | Do you not mean boreal or arctic plants? |
