6479Mrs. Frazer, are you very busy just now?
6479My book is only a fable then, nurse? 6479 Now, nurse, will you tell me some more about Jacob Snow- storm and the otters?"
6479Nurse how can beavers cut down trees; they have neither axes nor saws?
6479Nurse, can people eat musk- rats?
6479Nurse, did you ever see a tame beaver?
6479Nurse, do not beavers, and otters, and muskrats feel cold while living in the water; and do they not get wet?
6479Nurse, do you know the names of these pretty starry flowers on this little branch, that look so light and pretty?
6479Nurse, how can they see to eat in the dark?
6479Nurse, is there real rice growing in the Rice Lake? 6479 Nurse, please can you tell me anything about fawns?
6479Nurse, please will you tell me something about tortoises and porcupines?
6479Nurse, what is the name of that pretty creature you have in your hand? 6479 Nurse, when you see any of these curious flowers, will you show them to me?"
6479Nurse, where did you get these nice strawberries?
6479Nurse, will you be so kind as to ask Campbell to get a pretty cage for my squirrel? 6479 Nurse, will you tell me something about birds''nests, and what they make them of?"
6479Nurse,said Lady Mary,"did you ever hear of any one having been eaten by a wolf or bear?"
6479Of what use is the dam, nurse?
6479Please tell me what a stoup is, nurse?
6479Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me what sort of trees hemlocks are? 6479 Please, Mrs. Frazer, will you tell me which flowers will be first in bloom?"
6479Please, nurse, tell me of what colours real porcupine quills are?
6479Stop, nurse, and tell me why they are called black and white; are the flowers black and white?
6479That must be very useful; but if the sap is sweet, how can it be made into such sour stuff as vinegar?
6479This embroidered knife- sheath is large enough for a hunting- knife,said Lady Mary,"a''_ couteau de chasse_,''--is it not?"
6479What are Pagans, nurse?
6479What are wigwams?
6479What became of them, nurse?
6479What colour are the Canadian robins, nurse?
6479What colour was the snake, my dear?
6479What do you mean by the fall, nurse?
6479What do you want more, my dear children,said their mother,"than you enjoy here?
6479What is migrating, nurse; is it the same as emigrating?
6479What shall we do for supper to- night?
6479What was that for, nurse? 6479 Which is the nearest way to the mill?"
6479Who calls them all to build their winter houses?
6479You do not think it was cruel, nurse, to kill the snake?
6479*****"Nurse, I am glad Silvy went away with Nimble, are not you?
6479*****"Nurse,"said Lady Mary,"how do you like the story?"
6479Are there many squirrels in this part of Canada?"
6479Are there not moss, dried grass, and roots beneath, to make a soft bed for you to lie upon?
6479Are they pretty creatures, and can they be tamed; or are they fierce, wild little things?"
6479But why would biting out the eye prevent the grain from growing?"
6479Can you tell me what birds they were?"
6479Can you tell us where we shall find them?"
6479Did you ever know any one who was eaten by a wolf?"
6479Do the black squirrels sleep in the winter as well as the flying squirrels and chitmunks?"
6479Do you see that red squirrel yonder, climbing the hemlock- tree?
6479Do you want me to do anything for you?"
6479I have seen acorns at home in dear England and Scotland, and I have eaten the hickory- nuts here; but what is beech- mast?
6479I should like to have a tame otter to play with, and run after me; but do you think he would eat my squirrel?
6479I wish there were maples in the garden, and I would make sugar, molasses, wine, and vinegar; and what else would I do with my maple- tree?"
6479If they come to a lake or river, can they cross it?"
6479If you please, will you tell me something about it, and why it is called by such a curious name?"
6479Is it a dried fish?
6479Is it a large city like Montreal or Quebec?"
6479Is it a little beaver?"
6479Is it''Little Red Riding Hood,''or''Old Mother Hubbard,''or''Jack the Giant Killer?''"
6479It must be a black bass?
6479It would have killed me if it had bitten me, would it not, nurse?"
6479Looking at the honeysuckles,--I dare say it thought them very pretty; or was it smelling them?
6479Nurse, please tell me what are sleigh- robes made of?"
6479Nurse, what is a fawn?"
6479Oh, Miss Campbell, what shall we do?"
6479Papa and mamma are going away from Government House, and I am to return to the old country with them; I am so glad, are not you?"
6479Please, will you tell me all that you know about them?"
6479Then Lady Mary brought a print and showed it to her nurse, saying,"Nurse, is the porcupine like this picture?"
6479Was not that good, nurse?"
6479Was not the Major naughty to say so?"
6479Were you ever in the green forest, nurse?
6479Were you ever there?"
6479What do you think it was, nurse?"
6479What do you think the beaver had done?
6479What is it?"
6479What was it doing?
6479Where do otters live?"
6479Why did they not carry it at once to their nests?"
6479Why does he not lie down and sleep on the nice soft bed you have made for him in his little chamber?
6479and do not the boughs drop down a plentiful store of brown ripe acorns?
6479can you tell me?"
6479dear nurse, what can it be?"
6479did you find real hare- bells, such as grow on the bonny Highland hills among the heather?
6479do bears eat raspberries?"
6479said the child, after she had tired herself with looking at the prints;"a long, long time-- a great many weeks?--a great many months?"
52782''Hello,''says I,''when did you git in? 52782 About what matter?"
52782Ah, you''re finding our boy out, eh?
52782Ai n''t you going for to make some sorter effort to git your hosses out of the field?
52782Ai n''t you got no sense? 52782 All the way through the dark for that?
52782And so this is Mr. Simmons, the famous negro hunter?
52782And so you did n''t catch him; and your fine dogs are finer now than they ever were?
52782And then what?
52782And what was you doing all that time?
52782And what wonderful person will do this for you, my boy?
52782And when are you going home to your master?
52782Are you still in the woods, Aaron?
52782But if we find them, Son of Ben Ali?
52782But what was the nigger doing at your place?
52782But, Colonel, if he''s that, what do you want him caught for?
52782But, Colonel,drawled Mr. Simmons,"what under the sun ever got the idee in your head that Addison Abercrombie_ is_ harboring your nigger?"
52782But, Colonel,remonstrated Mr. Jim Simmons,"did n''t you send for me?
52782By what means did you know that the horse had been left without food and water?
52782Can you pass them here?
52782Can you walk, Master?
52782Dat ar Aaron had um atter''i m, an''what''d he do?
52782Den how come I ca n''t fool dem ar dogs?
52782Did I say that? 52782 Did anybody cross from the other side this morning?"
52782Did he go into the cabins?
52782Did n''t you hear him when he butted me?
52782Did you fellows see It?
52782Did you notice,said the young man who was first to see the apparition,"that the Thing that was riding the Thing had no head?"
52782Do n''t he open on track?
52782Do n''t you know dey done foun''out whar you stays at? 52782 Do n''t you know what a runaway is?
52782Do you think you''d''a''caught him, Colonel, taking into account all the circumstances and things?
52782Ear- marks? 52782 Got who?"
52782Have you ever paid Abercrombie?
52782Have you ever visited that country?
52782Have you seen a pistol lying loose anywhere around here?
52782Here?
52782Honey, ai n''t it de trufe?
52782How came it so red, den?
52782How come any chil''out dis time er night?
52782How come, I like ter know?
52782How come? 52782 How come?"
52782How long have you been standing here?
52782How you know?
52782Hurt much, Master?
52782I charged you interest, did n''t I, Simmons?
52782I did n''t say I was going to catch him, did I?
52782I did n''t say he could n''t get away from my dogs, did I?
52782I''d git de meat-- but dey mout ketch''i m, an''den what''d I look like?
52782If they were after the runaway, what on earth did he mean by going in this direction?
52782Is anybody ever hear de beat er dat? 52782 Is dat Aaron?"
52782Is that Sound?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Jim Simmons? 52782 Jimmy, you did n''t go and apologize to that old buzzard for what I said, did you?"
52782Kin you handle dish yer paddle? 52782 Man, ai n''t you tired?"
52782Man, what you think?
52782May I ask the old man there a few questions?
52782Me? 52782 Me?
52782Me?
52782Mine? 52782 Nothing?"
52782Of course they are-- how can they help themselves?
52782Of course you believed in the country next door to the world?
52782Oh, have you been admitted to the sanctum?
52782On what bank, Gossett?
52782Only three, Son of Ben Ali? 52782 Shall I go too?"
52782Shall I have Timoleon put in the new stable to- night?
52782Shall I ride him down, Son of Ben Ali?
52782Shall I use a club on you, White Grunter? 52782 Sho nuff?"
52782Suh?
52782Supposing you had,suggested Mr. Simmons,"would you''a''done it?
52782That you, Terrell?
52782The child with the crutches?
52782The missing boat? 52782 Then that''s the reason you think Abercrombie ai n''t harboring my nigger?"
52782Up or down?
52782Was a bateau missing from this side this morning?
52782Was anybody with you in the bateau when you went down the river this morning?
52782Was he in that one?
52782Well?
52782Were the bloodhounds after him?
52782Were you hunting the runaway?
52782Whar yo''huffs? 52782 What Aaron done done?"
52782What are the ear- marks, ma''am?
52782What are you crying about?
52782What dat?
52782What dey doin''out dar?
52782What did you find?
52782What did you see? 52782 What do I think?
52782What do you see in the man?
52782What do you suppose the trouble was?
52782What do you think now?
52782What has this great man ever done for you, Simmons?
52782What horse?
52782What is the noise about, Lucy?
52782What is your name?
52782What kind er folks is you?
52782What two things, Colonel?
52782What was that dog barking at just now?
52782What was the trouble, Randall?
52782What were they talking about?
52782What wid?
52782What yo''name?
52782What you doin''?
52782What you gwine ter do?
52782What you gwine ter lan''on the same side wid Jim Simmons fer?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s what?
52782What''s your name?
52782When was that?
52782Where did the voice come from?
52782Where is this country that is next door to the world?
52782Where is your runaway? 52782 Where''s my pistol?"
52782Where''s the ford?
52782Whereabouts is that country?
52782Which way did It go?
52782Which way did he go, Uncle Jake?
52782White er blue?
52782Who are you?
52782Who carried the bateau over the shoals this morning?
52782Who is you? 52782 Who lives there?"
52782Who said anything about fire? 52782 Who was it?"
52782Who was with you in the bateau?
52782Who''s behind you?
52782Who? 52782 Who?"
52782Why did you come?
52782Why, confound it, do n''t you know this horse is as wild as a buck? 52782 Whyn''t you go in an''see whether Aaron was in there?"
52782Would you teach me?
52782Wuz you, sho nuff?
52782Yes, ai n''t that Gossett?
52782Yes, where?
52782You are still anxious to punish the poor man who was hurt by the horse?
52782You gwine dar to Gossett''s? 52782 You know that new school teacher at Abercrombie''s?"
52782You wish what?
52782You''ve saved your$ 30, hain''t you?
52782You? 52782 Your runaway?
52782A runaway sitting by his side and driving a fractious and easily frightened horse without bit or bridle?
52782A''on gwine in dar en put dat ar hoss up?
52782Ai n''t you coming?
52782Am I a horse to be ridden?
52782An''whar de lines?
52782And more than that: do n''t I know from my own niggers that the yaller rapscallion comes here every chance he gets?
52782And the reply was,"Well, why not?"
52782And was it truly true that he had ever worn a shoe as small as that?
52782And who''s going to hurt me, pap?"
52782And why did Susy''s Sam hang back and want to turn his mule around before he had finished the furrow?
52782And why should he come whirling back at dusk,--a red cloud of dust rising beneath the Gray Pony''s feet?
52782Are you fixing to have me killed?
52782But did Aaron have the same power over his own master?
52782But what difference did that make?
52782But what is it to be touched?
52782But where?
52782Ca n''t you put him in his stable?"
52782Ca n''t you talk?
52782Could it be that by some noiseless shifting of the scenery he was even now in the country next door to the world?
52782De speckled pullet hollered shoo ter hawk, but what good did dat do?"
52782Did he know the paths?
52782Did n''t Aaron belong to Chunky Riley''s master?
52782Did n''t he double and turn and go back the way he came, to be caught and killed on dry land?
52782Did n''t he have the Simmons nigger- dogs after him that very day?
52782Did n''t his master try to catch him?
52782Did n''t the Colonel send one of his nigger women to the quarters on the Abercrombie plantation?
52782Did n''t the woman say she had seen the runaway?
52782Did n''t you buy him and pay your money down for him?
52782Did n''t you say,''Glad to see you, Simmons; walk right in and make yourself at home''?
52782Do n''t you know dey er gwine ter hunt you in de mornin''?
52782Do n''t you know dey got de dogs dar?
52782Do n''t you know he''ll ketch you ef you do dat?
52782Do n''t you know some er de niggers''ll see you-- an''maybe de overseer?
52782Do n''t you know you ca n''t git away fum dem dogs fer ter save yo''life?"
52782Do n''t you reckon you could tell when anybody was trying to insult you?
52782Do n''t you think it''s cunning?"
52782Do n''t you want him out of the woods?
52782Do n''t you want ter b''long ter Sally Ward?"
52782Do you blame me, Colonel?"
52782Do you keep him in a box and permit only your best friends to peep at him occasionally?"
52782Ear- marks?
52782Ef I squeeze too tight, des say de word;"and then,"Whar we gwine, honey?
52782Fer catching the nigger?
52782Fullalove?"
52782Git him out, did I say?
52782Had he seen the horses?
52782Has he escaped?"
52782Have stray dogs crept under the door?
52782He felt that he and his father had been wronged by some one, he could n''t say who, but not by the runaway, for what was a"nigger,"anyhow?
52782He jumped as if he had heard the report of a gun, and cried out in a tone of alarm:--"Who flung dat rock?
52782He knew by the scent of the cigar that the voices he heard belonged to white men: but who were they?
52782Him harbor niggers?
52782Hit''s some trouble ter git de corn off''n de cob, but spozen dey want no corn on de cob, what den?"
52782How am I to do it?"
52782How come dey ai n''t no niggers but de Gossett niggers in de woods?
52782How come you got ter go up de river?"
52782How come you ter know''bout de missin''boat?"
52782How could this be?
52782How did Aaron know that the horse had gone without water and food?
52782How did he know?
52782How did the Swamp know?
52782I tried to make the hoss stand, but he would n''t, and, just then, what should I see but two great big wildcats trying to sneak up on me?
52782I wonder if he''s taken up over here?
52782I''m so small, and-- and so crippled, you know, nobody would ever think I had a runaway?"
52782If Aaron really had any influence over his own master, why did n''t he stay at home instead of going into the woods?
52782If it was too late for him to learn the language of the animals, how could he hope to interpret the prophecies of the constellations?
52782If we find them, shall I use my teeth?"
52782Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?
52782Is that it?"
52782Is we dat close?"
52782Jimmy do n''t owe you nothin'', does he?"
52782Man, who is you?"
52782Marster, how in de name er goodness kin you drive dish yer hoss widout bridle er lines?"
52782May I examine your neck to see what can be done?"
52782Me?"
52782Now what do you pay me fer?
52782Now, how come dat?
52782Now, if he was n''t a nigger what was he trying to play nigger for?
52782Now, was n''t he wise for his age?
52782Now, where does he go?"
52782Oh, is n''t there some one to hear me?"
52782Once there, was there a hound that would venture to take a bath with him?
52782Saddle''em by sun- up?
52782Says he,''Will you please, sir, give me as much as a spoonful of low- wines for to rub on my legs?''
52782Shall I make bacon of you?
52782She''s a scorcher, ai n''t she?"
52782Smoke without fire?
52782Suppose that some quagmire or other in that there swamp has gone and got up a ruction on its own hook?
52782That is, if Aaron could n''t call the elements to his aid-- but suppose he could?
52782Was he following the rolling echoes?
52782Was he listening?
52782Was it Mr. Coon or Cousin Coon?
52782Was it for this,--for this,--her darling child had been born?
52782Was it indeed true?
52782Was it the runaway''s intention to jump suddenly from the buggy and strike the horse with the whip?
52782Was n''t he a runaway?
52782Was n''t there a snap and a snarl when the partridge- pea vine caught his foot?
52782Was n''t there a splash and a splutter as he ran into the quagmire?
52782Was one of the bateaux missing this morning?"
52782Well, then, why did n''t his master keep Aaron while he had him in the buggy?
52782Were n''t the chances ten to one that when she saw him she told him that Simmons would be after him in the morning?
52782Whar you say de key is?"
52782What about foxfire?
52782What am I that my food should be thrown at me through the cracks?
52782What am I to do to- day?"
52782What are you doing now?"
52782What could the Little Master want at this early hour?
52782What could the rest hope for if so fierce a creature as the White Pig could be disposed of in this fashion?
52782What demon was this that had seized the White Grunter and was carrying him off?
52782What does that mean?"
52782What have you done with your hosses?"
52782What living and moving creetur could build a fire in that thicket?
52782What man am I to carry, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782What then?
52782What then?
52782What was he up to?
52782What was the rider''s errand?
52782What was this going on right before his eyes?
52782What yo''name, honey?"
52782What''d I do out dar by myse''f at night?
52782What''s to hinder you?
52782What, then, was to be done?
52782When did you come to like me so well?"
52782When everything was ready, the question arose, how was the horse to be removed to his new quarters?
52782When the time comes for the cart I shall have-- what do you call it?"
52782Where did the nigger go?
52782Where''ve you been?"
52782Who are you, anyhow?"
52782Who else would dare to hurt him, or even threaten to hurt him?
52782Who is dat?
52782Who knows?
52782Who stopped him?"
52782Who talked of turns where the Little Master was concerned?
52782Who''s going to know where the fire is?"
52782Who, then, but Abercrombie?
52782Why could n''t the track dogs catch him?
52782Why did he sit still and allow the runaway to go back to the woods?
52782Why not stay here with me to- morrow, and the next day?"
52782Why should I doubt your word?"
52782Why should he go skimming along the red road at day dawn?
52782Why, then, should a thin but steady stream of blue smoke be constantly rising upwards from the centre of Spivey''s Canebrake?
52782Why, what on the face of the earth do you mean?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Will dey ketch you ef I tell?"
52782Would Mr. Coon of the Swamp ever be caught on dry land?
52782Would she hasten it?
52782You ca n''t help seeing what''s right at you, can you?"
52782You reckon he gwine ter foller you ter de landin''en den turn right''roun''in his tracks en go back?"
52782You''d have Jim Simmons''s nigger dogs atter you, an''den what''d you do?"
52782Your name, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782[ Illustration: HE EDGED AWAY AS FAR AS HE COULD]"What is it?"
52782[ Illustration: THE EXCITED HORSE PLUNGED ALONG]"Hurt much?"
52782[ Illustration: THE HORSES WERE RIGHT AT HIS HEELS]"Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?"
52782and"Whar you been, Little Marster, dat we ai n''t seed you sence day''fo''yistiddy?"
52782he cried;"ai n''t he your nigger?
52782he cried;"what queer country is this, where all the birds are headless?
52782how can you put such an idea in the child''s mind?"
52782insisted Mr. Jim Simmons with his careless, irritating drawl,"ai n''t it a plum''fact that this nigger''s been in the woods a month or sech a matter?
