61657 | So you have come, John? 61657 Well, what luck?" |
61657 | Who is this fellow, anyway? |
61657 | Why did you do that? |
61657 | Why,said I,"do you not believe in God?" |
61657 | You are welcome,said mine host, and I answered,"What strange thing have you been about?" |
61657 | And if these were some of the present and tangible results of our journey, who will estimate the fruitage of eternity? |
61657 | And those wonderful mirages, who can describe them? |
61657 | And who doubts our doing it? |
61657 | Are you not foolish to think and act as you do? |
61657 | But is it not written that"man doth not live by bread only"? |
61657 | Could he do it? |
61657 | Had he not come from the famous Red River? |
61657 | Has the Great Spirit treated you with partiality? |
61657 | How is this? |
61657 | How were we to kill the fish? |
61657 | I said to my wife,"What do you see?" |
61657 | In vain Oliver kicked and shouted; what cared that Blackfoot pony for the charge of a buffalo? |
61657 | McDougall?" |
61657 | Now, for the seven bulls what was the whole number?" |
61657 | The change will come, no doubt, but when? |
61657 | Then he asked,"What did you see that made you ride across this way?" |
61657 | Then said I,"Do you see that? |
61657 | Then why not all men be thus helped and made better? |
61657 | Was he a Hudson''s Bay Company clerk, a free trader, or a traveller bent on sport? |
61657 | What signified that we had brought little or no provisions? |
61657 | When we converged, I said to the leader,"Where are you going?" |
61657 | Who will say after this that these people have no sentiment? |
61657 | Why, then, this degradation witnessed on every hand? |
61657 | and I answered,"What did you see that made you start out from camp at this hour?" |
44312 | But who would tell papa? |
44312 | Qui en a fait la chanson? 44312 Voulez- vous écouter chanter Une chanson de vérité? |
44312 | And are the Shushwaps such cowards, dastardly to shoot their benefactor in the back while his face was turned? |
44312 | Ca n''t you demonstrate that you are one of the descendants of one of the great clans?" |
44312 | Can a more terrible combination be imagined than this? |
44312 | Did ever British prestige suffer a more humiliating blow? |
44312 | Governor Semple answered,"What do_ you_ want?" |
44312 | He gesticulated wildly, and called out in broken English,"What do you want? |
44312 | How is this lake formed? |
44312 | I again called out,''Who is there?'' |
44312 | J''avons cerné la bande de grenadiers; Ils sont immobiles?--Ils sont démentés? |
44312 | My horse was startled and jumped on one side, snorting and prancing; but I kept my seat, calling out,''Who is there?'' |
44312 | Nous avons fait trois prisonniers Des Orcanais? |
44312 | Qui en a composé la chanson? |
44312 | Shall we strike?" |
44312 | The question arises, Was the Governor justified in the steps taken by him? |
44312 | The white men are not dogs; they love their own kindred as well as you; why should they not avenge their murder?''" |
44312 | Voulez- vous écouter chanter une chanson de vérité? |
44312 | Were there not all the elements of an explosion of a serious and dangerous kind? |
44312 | What do you want?" |
44312 | What, then, is to be the future of this Canadian West? |
44312 | What, then, were the conditions? |
44312 | Whence do its waters proceed? |
44312 | Wherefore did you kill him? |
44312 | Who has sung this song of triumph? |
44312 | Why do the white men let your children starve? |
44312 | Why is this? |
15342 | Holla, Mac, where are you going with your basket? |
15342 | My dear fellow, how can you think of risking yourself in such a gimcrack contrivance as that? 15342 Well, my boys, what is your business with me?" |
15342 | What do you think of the sugar? |
15342 | Among other questions, I asked him whether he had not been baptized? |
15342 | And what was my reward? |
15342 | But what can be the cause of it? |
15342 | Could it be really so? |
15342 | Has the fiat, then, gone forth, that the aboriginal inhabitants of America shall make way for another race of men? |
15342 | He asked me if I would be baptized? |
15342 | He is now a member of the Church, and is dismissed to his woods-- a Christian, can we say? |
15342 | I asked him how he made that out? |
15342 | Pray how do you like the beef- steaks?" |
15342 | The white men are not dogs; they love their kindred as well as you; why should they not avenge their murder?" |
15342 | Towards morning, recovering the use of speech, he inquired, in a voice scarcely audible, if he"had shed the blood of a white man?" |
15342 | Was I indeed guilty of the blood of a fellow- creature? |
15342 | Where did she get them? |
15342 | With such an establishment to rule over, need it be matter of surprise that our_ bourgeois_ was in his own estimation a magnate of the first order? |
15342 | [ 1] Belluga? |
15342 | are you not going there?" |
15342 | did you imagine you had sent for an old woman?" |
15342 | does your religion teach you to tell lies? |
15342 | not know of Fort Coulonge, and you so near to it? |
15342 | said Godin, feigning ignorance of the Indian''s meaning:"Pray, to whom did he belong?" |
15342 | shall we strike?" |
15342 | would you really wish to see your husband hanged?" |
61658 | But what is Peter going to do? |
61658 | Oh,said the other boy,"where does he come from?" |
61658 | Well, then,said I,"why do n''t you travel faster, and let us get there?" |
61658 | What George? |
61658 | What did the people live on? |
61658 | After all, who knows? |
61658 | And while I was wondering how to secure one, a young Indian, as if he divined my thought, said to me,"Will you go to- morrow? |
61658 | As I looked, I asked myself,"Am I dreaming? |
61658 | But my boot-- could it ever be mended? |
61658 | Did the people where I came from fight? |
61658 | For a moment I stood in amazement; then the fact that William and myself were still on this side made me shout to Peter,"How are we to cross?" |
61658 | He was on foot, but I saw he had a small pack on his back, and my first question was,"Have you anything to eat?" |
61658 | Hudson''s Bay-- we had a very vague idea where that was; but Norway House, who could tell us about this? |
61658 | I said to Peter,"Will the bear not be good to eat?" |
61658 | I said,"What is the matter?" |
61658 | I went on the jump, thankful for the change, and finding Mr. Woolsey, I said,"What is the matter? |
61658 | I whistled to Peter, and he said,"What is it?" |
61658 | If a bear was to kill you?" |
61658 | If anything had happened to you, what could I say to him?" |
61658 | Is this so?" |
61658 | Presently I said,"How are we going to cross?" |
61658 | The sweltering heat, the numberless mosquitoes-- who can begin to describe them? |
61658 | What about war? |
61658 | What are you doing behind here, ready to give up? |
61658 | What could he see? |
61658 | What did he know? |
61658 | What had spoken to her? |
61658 | What is the matter with you? |
61658 | What was the first declension, what did you do with it, how learn it, how recite it? |
61658 | When are they going to camp? |
61658 | Why do n''t they camp? |
61658 | what made you jump off your horse? |
61658 | where was I, but far behind? |
61658 | will you hunt with us?" |
61658 | would it ever look as it had? |
16864 | And what if you had been overtaken by a storm? |
16864 | What do you think of the ingenuity of our Yankee cats? 16864 After this, what protection, or generosity, or justice, can the Indians he said to receive from the Hudson''s Bay Company? 16864 And that man-- the slanderer-- the murderer of this martyred Missionary-- what punishment was inflicted on him? 16864 Are they to be left to the tender mercies of the trader until famine and disease sweep them from the earth? 16864 But are not the British themselves to blame, in some measure, for the continuance of these irritated feelings? 16864 Could the Honourable Company be swayed by so paltry a consideration in subjecting us to so grievous an inconvenience? 16864 Did he never visit Wapping with the same views, whatever they might be? 16864 Did the murders committed by the natives at New Caledonia, Thompson''s River, and the Columbia, pass unavenged? 16864 If he did, did he observe nothing in that sink of filth and wickedness equal to the scenes that shocked him so much in the outskirts of New York? 16864 If our fathers quarrelled, can not we be friends? 16864 Might not this circumstance lead the geologist to the conclusion that the fall had receded this distance? 16864 Now, now is the time to apply the remedy; in 1863, where will the Indian be? 16864 Strip the nobility and land- owners of their possessions-- convert our monarchy into a republic-- and the church into ameetin ouse?" |
16864 | The present proprietors of the soil of England have, undoubtedly, large incomes; but what becomes of those incomes? |
16864 | The question is-- Is it consistent with prudence to allow an_ individual_ to assume and retain such power? |
16864 | These_ reforms_ effected, would the people of England be permanently benefited by them? |
16864 | This looks very well on paper; but are we allowed the means of bestowing these gratuities? |
16864 | Those results attained, what is there to prevent the American gentleman from becoming as polished and accomplished as his cousin in Britain? |
16864 | To what cause then are we to ascribe the present scarcity? |
16864 | What became of the Hannah Bay murderers? |
16864 | What cause, then, can there be for still cherishing those feelings of animosity which the unhappy disruption gave rise to? |
16864 | What do they obtain from us without payment? |
16864 | What plan would this philanthropic divine recommend to remove those evils, which, while he affects to deplore, he yet glories over? |
16864 | What spot in the world, in fact, can present such varied charms, as the summit of Mount Edgecumb? |
16864 | What the"Dickens"brought him to the"Five Points?" |
16864 | What was the decision of this mock court martial? |
16864 | Where are the evils which interested alarmists predicted would follow the modification of the East India Company''s charter? |
16864 | Who could doubt the fulfilment of the promises of a British peer? |
16864 | Who would not be an Indian trader? |
16864 | Why should not the Indians succeed in domesticating these animals, and rendering them subservient to their wants, as the Laplanders do? |
16864 | Why then is it continued? |
16864 | Why, otherwise, do we not find the different varieties in Canada, where the grisly bear has never been seen? |
16864 | Yet while stern justice alike condemns both, which is the more guilty party? |
16864 | or which has the greater claims on our sympathy? |
16864 | what do you think of that, now?" |
16864 | | an|| dee ay| an adee|| Where| Andé aish| Tanté ay to| Tee ay ghay| Ed luzeet|| are you|[= a]e an| tay an| de[= a]za| hee hee|| going? |
6913 | Who am I? 6913 & if you have more witt then we, why did not you use it by preserving your knives, your hattchetts,& your gunns, that you had from the ffrench? 6913 As I was directly coming where the hurrons weare, what should I see? 6913 But mightily mistaken; ffor they would reply,Should you bring us to be killed? |
6913 | But what is it that a man can not doe when he seeth that it concerns his life, that one day he must loose? |
6913 | But, O cursed covetousnesse, what art thou going to doe? |
6913 | Doe not you know the ffrench way? |
6913 | Doe you think that the ffrench will come up here when the greatest part of you is slained by your owne fault? |
6913 | For they spoke to me in this manner:"In which country have you been? |
6913 | From whence did come such excellent castors? |
6913 | From whence doe you come? |
6913 | Have not you seene me disposing my life with you? |
6913 | How will you defend villages? |
6913 | I inquired[ of] him also if he loved the Algonquins? |
6913 | If I am a foe, why did you suffer me to live so long among you? |
6913 | Is there no way to goe there? |
6913 | Moreover it''s night; what dost thou intend to doe? |
6913 | Shall they come to baptize your dead? |
6913 | Shall your children learne to be slaves among the Iroquoits for their ffathers''cowardnesse? |
6913 | The fish and the sauce invite us to it; is there no meanes to catch it? |
6913 | The great effect that the flemings shewed me, and the litle space was from us there; can I make that journey one day? |
6913 | There is the question who was most fearfull? |
6913 | Thou art master of my Goods; this Dogg that spoke but now, what doth hee heare? |
6913 | What can we do? |
6913 | What hath that poore nation done to thee, and being so far from thy country? |
6913 | What is that, that interrest will not do? |
6913 | What weare those beasts? |
6913 | What will it be if wee heare yeatt cryes& sorrows after all? |
6913 | What will your ennemy say when you perish without defending yourselves? |
6913 | Where is the plentynesse that yee had in all places and countreys? |
6913 | Where is the time past? |
6913 | Who has given you your life if not the ffrench? |
6913 | Who then will come up and baptize our children? |
6913 | Will you have your brethren destroyed that loves you, being slained? |
6913 | Will you make me believe now that he is good, as the black- coats[ the ffather Jesuits] say? |
6913 | You know, my uncles& brethren, that I hazarded my life goeing up with you; if I have no courage, why did you not tell me att my first coming here? |
6913 | am I a foe or a friend? |
6913 | how will you defend your wives& children from the ennemy''s hands?" |
6913 | with castors''skins? |
42279 | Am I to oppose force to force? |
42279 | Am I to venture against those who have committed these outrages against your Majesty''s subjects at sea? 42279 And now, gentlemen,"said Dixon,"what is it you want?" |
42279 | But what,asked Radisson,"are you doing here? |
42279 | By whose authority,asked Radisson;"do you possess a commission?" |
42279 | If,it was said,"the Hudson''s Bay Company can make vast moneys out of the frozen North, what can be done with lands flowing with milk and honey?" |
42279 | What am I to do? |
42279 | What does Mr. Radisson say to this? |
42279 | What is there in their charter,they asked themselves,"which gives them benefits we can not enjoy? |
42279 | What is to become of us,they demanded,"if we are to have no protection for our servants in these wild regions of the North?" |
42279 | Who are you? |
42279 | Whom dost thou wish I should answer? 42279 Why are new tribes not brought down? |
42279 | Why,he exclaimed, with ludicrous energy,"why should this gentleman be continually dignified by the appellation of governor? |
42279 | And why was this confirmation limited to but seven years? |
42279 | As to the idea that being in the fur- trade his experience and influence will benefit the new Company, will any furrier believe that? |
42279 | B. C.''mean?" |
42279 | But was it the Hudson''s Bay Company''s duty to enlighten the aggrieved inhabitants? |
42279 | Did the King? |
42279 | Did the Prince Regent? |
42279 | For have we not saved them all from the treachery of the English?" |
42279 | Give them good goods; they like to dress and be fine; do you see?" |
42279 | If these gentlemen are so patriotic, why do n''t they buy us out?" |
42279 | Seizing by the scalp- lock the chief of the tribe, who had already adopted him as his son, he asked,"Who art thou?" |
42279 | The Company who had been bullied and badgered and threatened with confiscation unless it agreed to a renunciation of its rights? |
42279 | Their occupation was gone-- whither did they drift? |
42279 | They declared they were conscious of having made a bad bargain in not continuing onward to the Company''s posts, but what could they do? |
42279 | Thou art the master of my goods; but as for that dog who has spoken, what is he doing in this company? |
42279 | To this enquiry, which was delivered in a very authoritative and insolent tone, Semple replied by demanding of Boucher what he and his party wanted? |
42279 | To this outburst the Duke quietly replied:"What is your price?" |
42279 | What brings you into this part of the country and in such numbers?" |
42279 | What was the direct consequence of such a policy? |
42279 | What were the projects harboured in this indomitable man''s mind? |
42279 | Who made him governor? |
42279 | Why do not our factors seek new sources of commerce?" |
42279 | Why, have asked its enemies, if the Company had the utmost confidence in its charter did it resort to the Lords and Commons to have it confirmed? |
42279 | You are here to- day, but will you be here to- morrow? |
42279 | You know,"he pursued,"what is said about you in England?" |
42279 | they asked,"and what is your business?" |
35208 | And that? |
35208 | And that? |
35208 | Are ye looking at my wolverenes? |
35208 | Are you speaking to me? |
35208 | Broke down, eh? |
35208 | But how do you find your way? |
35208 | But what is that stuff? 35208 Can I put your clothing on the floor and make use of that bench?" |
35208 | Close? |
35208 | Could it be the bantam? |
35208 | Do you believe? |
35208 | Do you know how oyster- shells got on top of the Rocky Mountains? 35208 Do you know that they are the Scotchmen''s totems? |
35208 | High wine? 35208 Me get los''? |
35208 | Now who has done dose t''ing? |
35208 | Scoundrel, do you tell me so? |
35208 | Sir,said the artist,"what do you suppose has become of my overcoat? |
35208 | Thistles? |
35208 | Vot kind of wa- a- y to do- o somet''ing is dat? |
35208 | What is that? |
35208 | Why did you destroy our fort, you rascal? |
35208 | Wo n''t they steal the fish? |
35208 | You do n''t know where these Indians came from, eh? |
35208 | ''May I have the bench?'' |
35208 | ''Oh, my gun?'' |
35208 | ''Where is your gun?'' |
35208 | A good job? |
35208 | Alcohol?" |
35208 | And what is the end? |
35208 | Are you fond of it?" |
35208 | Can you explain dis and dat to one hive of de bees? |
35208 | Chief? |
35208 | Did ye never hear of that? |
35208 | Do you hunt? |
35208 | Do you know why women prefer artificial teeth to those which God has given them? |
35208 | Grant?" |
35208 | How''s the razor?" |
35208 | If Mr. Frenchman, who kept the store, had come from behind his counter, English fashion, and had said:"Come, come; what d''you want? |
35208 | No? |
35208 | Not in Canada, do you say? |
35208 | Waving his hand in an insolent way to the Governor, Boucher called out,"What do you want?" |
35208 | What do I mean? |
35208 | What do you do? |
35208 | What was the use? |
35208 | What would I do? |
35208 | What you do dere, you t''ief?" |
35208 | Who den? |
35208 | You do n''t, eh? |

35208 | [ Illustration: PIERRE, FROM LIFE]"Do you never get lost?" |
35208 | said he,''will ye look at the size of that man-- to be airning his living wid a little pincil?'' |

36578 | ''Are ye sure that''s so?'' 36578 ''D''ye think a chap''ll lose the trail to heaven, that''s never ridden over it afore?'' |
36578 | ''D''ye think they could o''lost it an''got down to the camp o''the old fellow?'' 36578 ''I guess he''s struck it rich, an''he''ll not come back,''says Bill,''but how am I to know when I do n''t know the marks?'' |
36578 | After lyin''still fur several hours, he ses,''Is he gettin''better?'' 36578 And have you always found the happiness you wished for in these places?" |
36578 | Are not the former finer men than the latter? |
36578 | Are your parents living? |
36578 | Boys, ye mind that cripple that ye wus laughin''at in camp the other day? 36578 Come, Napiake, what do you think of the white chief?" |
36578 | Do you live in this part of the country? |
36578 | Had you ever any trouble with the Indians in those days? |
36578 | Has he a wife? |
36578 | Have you all your children with you? |
36578 | Have you always lived up here in the mountains? |
36578 | Have you any money? |
36578 | How much do you want for him? |
36578 | May I not go with you and make you happy among your people? 36578 Shall we know each other?" |
36578 | What news? 36578 When are you coming back?" |
36578 | Where is your home?'' 36578 Which of the two types of men do you find the better?" |
36578 | Which way are you travelling? |
36578 | Which way have you been that you have been so unfortunate? 36578 Will you sit down and have some supper with us? |
36578 | Will you tell us your name? |
36578 | You evidently have been enamored of the people, the climate or the manner of life, that you have remained so long? |
36578 | You have been several years in the country, Mr. Daniels, I understand? |
36578 | You have been sick for some time? |
36578 | An''do n''t ye think He''ll pay ye fur that? |
36578 | Didna I tell ye that yer dreams an''prayers would all come true?'' |
36578 | Forgotten? |
36578 | Had he taken revenge upon the chief of the Fort, done away with the child and then decamped? |
36578 | Had my partner turned traitor, or did he think that I was an Indian? |
36578 | Had these horses been running of their own accord, or were they on the enchanted ground of the red man? |
36578 | Had they been chasing a phantom? |
36578 | He ses:"''Wall, friend, what can I do fur you?'' |
36578 | How long will the place be unspoiled by man? |
36578 | If the police had not come to this country, where would we all be now? |
36578 | Is he gettin''better?'' |
36578 | Is it a heap o''stones, or a tree blazed, or a fire burnin'', so as I can see the smoke?'' |
36578 | Is it for the last time? |
36578 | One of them spoke up saying,"Have you seen the tall man?" |
36578 | Shall we live there always?" |
36578 | She had admired Running Deer when he visited her father''s lodge, listened with interest to his adventures, but how could she love him? |
36578 | The dear old body took me by the hand as she prayed for me wi''her dying breath, and afore she went away she says,''Ye''ll serve him, Johnnie?'' |
36578 | The horses were there, but where were the men who had driven them off? |
36578 | Upon what mission is he bent? |
36578 | Was he to perish and not save the child? |
36578 | Was her devoted husband going to leave her, and would he never return? |
36578 | Was there no one to respond; none to answer her? |
36578 | Wearied with his long journey does he seek rest? |
36578 | What can I do to pay you for it? |
36578 | What is he saying? |
36578 | What news?" |
36578 | Where was it? |
36578 | Why leave his friends? |
36578 | Why should he go thence? |
36578 | Will ye lift yer hat an''say,"Good day, sir,"or will ye wait till He speaks to ye? |
36578 | Ye min''that publican? |
36578 | and another said,"Yes; have you seen the white chief?" |
36578 | hae ye forgotten all I taught ye at my knee?'' |
36578 | was he to give his life for nought? |
7126 | A Chief has his braves; you see here the braves of our Queen, and why are they here? 7126 And now that I am come in, what do I see? 7126 And these things that are promised will they commence at once and will we see it year after year? |
7126 | And why is all this done? |
7126 | Are you ready to carry it out? |
7126 | Are your chiefs ready to sign this afternoon if we grant you these terms? |
7126 | Are your ears open to hear? |
7126 | CHIEF--"Should we discover any metal that was of use, could we have the privilege of putting our own price on it?" |
7126 | CROWFOOT--"Great Father, what do you think now, what do you say to that? |
7126 | FUTURE OF THE INDIANS And now I come, to a very important question, What is to be the future of the Indian population of the North- West? |
7126 | GOVERNOR--"How many are there?" |
7126 | GOVERNOR--"What you ask will not be granted, why are you so anxious about bad men? |
7126 | Have you anything more to say to us, or are we to turn our backs upon you, and go away with sorry hearts for you and your children? |
7126 | Have you chosen your speakers?" |
7126 | Have you tried to be of one mind? |
7126 | How have you come to meet us? |
7126 | I have heard what has been said, and I am glad we are to be helped; but why do these men not speak?" |
7126 | I repeated my warning, and at length he reluctantly came forward and said he wished to ask me a question,"Would the head men be paid?" |
7126 | I think they must have learned wisdom; the words of the old are wise; why then, we ask ourselves-- and this is our trouble-- Why are your Chiefs dumb? |
7126 | I understand that; but if we have any gardens through the country, do you wish that the poor man should throw it right away?" |
7126 | If one of you owes the Chief is it right that the Queen should wipe it out? |
7126 | If the Police had not come to the, country, where would we be all now? |
7126 | If there is anything standing between us, how can we take it away or answer you unless we know what it is?" |
7126 | In other lands the white and red man are not such friends as we have always been, and why? |
7126 | Is it for the whole of the Indians? |
7126 | Is it true that you bring the Queen''s hand? |
7126 | Is it true you are bringing the Queen''s messenger''s kindness? |
7126 | Is it true you are bringing the Queen''s power?" |
7126 | Is it true you are going to give my child what he may use? |
7126 | Is it true you are going to give the different bands the Queen''s kindness? |
7126 | Is that just? |
7126 | KAMOOSES--"Is it true that my child will not be troubled for what you are bringing him?" |
7126 | KAN- OO- SES--"Is it true you are bringing the Queen''s kindness? |
7126 | MORRIS--"What did the Company steal from you?" |
7126 | MORRIS--"What do you complain of? |
7126 | MORRIS--"What is troubling you?" |
7126 | MORRIS--"Who are you speaking for? |
7126 | MORRIS--"Who made the earth, the grass, the stone, and the wood? |
7126 | MORRIS--"Why are you here to- day? |
7126 | MR. DAWSON--"I would ask the Chief who has just spoken, did the band at Shebandowan-- did Rat McKay, authorize him to speak for them? |
7126 | Must we go back and say we have had you here so many days, and that you had not the minds of men-- that you were not able to understand each other? |
7126 | Must we go back and tell the Queen that we held out our hands for her, and her red children put them back again? |
7126 | Now we want to ask you are you wiser, do you know more, than the Ojibbeway people that I met last year? |
7126 | Now, we ask you again, are you wiser than your brothers that I have seen before? |
7126 | One of them at length arose, and pointing to the River Saskatchewan, said,"Can you stop the flow of that river?" |
7126 | PEI- CHE- TO''S SON-- O- TA- HA- O- MAN, THE GAMBLER--"My dear friends, do you want me to speak for you to these great men?" |
7126 | SHAPONETUNG''S FIRST SON--"I find what was done at Qu''Appelle was good, does it take in all my children?" |
7126 | She learned last winter that bad men from the United States had come into her country and had killed some of her red children, What did she say? |
7126 | THE GAMBLER--"Cannot you sign such a paper?" |
7126 | Then I ask myself, why do they not answer? |
7126 | They met to thank the Queen and to say that they were content, and why are they content? |
7126 | This is the reason I speak of the Company, why are you staying in the Company''s house?" |
7126 | Was it done by the Company? |
7126 | We wish to know if the Crees are ready to speak with us now?" |
7126 | What are they doing now up at Fort Pelly? |
7126 | What do you say?" |
7126 | What has been the result? |
7126 | Who are you? |
7126 | Who surveyed this land? |
7126 | Why are you not of one mind? |
7126 | Why can you not open your hearts to me? |
7126 | Why do I talk so much? |
7126 | Why should I take all this trouble? |
7126 | Why? |
7126 | Why? |
7126 | Why? |
7126 | Will the two dollars be paid to our principal men as well? |
7126 | Will you explain?" |
7126 | Will you receive that which I am asking? |
7126 | You ask then why I went to the Company''s house? |
21478 | And how did you find Pat? |
21478 | And who is that boy in the Indian dress? |
21478 | Are we to continue our search for the horses, or must we give it up? |
21478 | Bouncer, old fellow, where have you come from? |
21478 | But how are we to get along without food? |
21478 | But how shall we ever reach the` cache''without provisions? |
21478 | But if the Indians have left the neighbourhood, what are we to do? |
21478 | But if we do not go on foot how are we ever to get to Fort Ross? |
21478 | But the deer must be shot first, and fitting bones found to make the hooks; and then, as to bait? |
21478 | But where are you to find iron for the hooks or material for the lines? |
21478 | Can Sandy have forgotten to hoist it? |
21478 | Did you ever expect to become like an Indian, and to be contented with your lot? |
21478 | Have you any friends in the neighbourhood, Misther Miskwandib? |
21478 | He has evidently been living a long time among Indians, and it''s my belief he has made his escape from them.--Is that the case, boy? |
21478 | How are we to get the fish to stop and be struck at? |
21478 | How do you know that I came down in a canoe? |
21478 | How is your father? |
21478 | How will you make it boil? |
21478 | I do n''t know what Alick will think about it, but I suspect that it will take too long a time,I said;"and where are the handles to be found?" |
21478 | I must eat it, if I can get nothing else,I said to myself; but then again I thought,"By what means shall I reach the fort? |
21478 | I wonder how long a man can go without eating? |
21478 | I''ll do it if I have the chance,he answered;"but why do n''t you shoot the baste?" |
21478 | May I venture to ask how you came to be here? |
21478 | Now what you carry? |
21478 | Shall we cut him up at once, or go back and take Alick and Robin on board, and then return for the purpose? |
21478 | Tell me, boy,he exclaimed, interrupting him--"have you no recollection of your parents? |
21478 | Then have my father and mother escaped? |
21478 | Well, Mr Pipe, but suppose you take three guns and the remainder of the price either in blankets or in tobacco, will that not content you? |
21478 | What are these for? |
21478 | What are we to do now? |
21478 | What could make you do such a thing? |
21478 | What do you say, lads, to pushing forward at once to the fort at Touchwood Hills? 21478 What do you think of it?" |
21478 | What do you think of our friend, Pat? |
21478 | What dreadful event can have happened? |
21478 | What has become of the flag? |
21478 | What is to be done? |
21478 | What news? |
21478 | What''s the matter, Pat? |
21478 | Where are the rest, Bouncer? 21478 Who are you, friends?" |
21478 | Who are you? |
21478 | Why do you say that? |
21478 | ` Are you sure that it is dead?'' 21478 ` What do you say, my son?'' |
21478 | Are they near at hand?" |
21478 | CAN IT BE YOU?" |
21478 | Could a fresh body of Indians be about to attack us? |
21478 | DON''T YOU REMEMBER US?" |
21478 | I could not avoid asking myself, should any of us be able to endure the fatigue we must first undergo, or should we even obtain food to support life? |
21478 | I hope you are all right, though?" |
21478 | It wo n''t be worth while to carry these swans with us; will it?" |
21478 | It would soon come to an end, and then what could we do? |
21478 | Rose spoke to him first, and then Letty exclaimed,"Surely you can speak English?" |
21478 | They knew also that they would not be pursued, as the snow would have completely obliterated their trail? |
21478 | What could have happened to delay them? |
21478 | What do you say?" |
21478 | What has been their fate?" |
21478 | What should we say to his father and mother, should we again meet them, or to Rose?" |
21478 | What''s your name?" |
21478 | When I awoke in the morning, not a sight was there of the canoe, and I thought to myself, What was I to do? |
21478 | Who can he be?" |
21478 | any one hereabouts? |
21478 | can it be you?" |
21478 | can that be you? |
21478 | do n''t you remember us?" |
21478 | is he there? |
21478 | now you''re coming in, are you? |
21478 | now, what''s become of the powder?" |
21478 | now, what''s it all about?" |
21478 | shure, is it yourself that''s spaking to me?" |
21478 | shure, shure, what shall we be afther doing?" |
21478 | that''s what we''ll be afther doing,"cried Pat.--"Won''t we, boys? |
21478 | thin, why in the name of wonder did you come?" |
21478 | what''s that there?" |
61659 | Are you hit anywhere else? |
61659 | Did you see any dead ones? |
61659 | How is that? |
61659 | How many have you? |
61659 | Shall I bind these others ending in peace together, and give them to you in remembrance of what I have told you? |
61659 | That is too bad,said I;"did you not put them away?" |
61659 | What are the limits of his power? |
61659 | What is he doing? |
61659 | What is his purpose in coming to this part of the country? |
61659 | What is that he is holding in his hands? |
61659 | What is that? 61659 What is the matter?" |
61659 | What is the matter? |
61659 | What is this? |
61659 | What is this? |
61659 | Where are you going? |
61659 | Where are your buffalo? |
61659 | Where did you come from to- day, John? |
61659 | Where? |
61659 | Where? |
61659 | Who is this mysterious being who talks with God? |
61659 | Why did you not ask me? |
61659 | Why did you not tell us the river was fordable? |
61659 | Why,he asked,"what is the matter?" |
61659 | Why,said I,"are there no provisions in the Fort?" |
61659 | Will we go back? |
61659 | Almost immediately I heard the report of a gun away down the river, and father called to me,"Did you hear that?" |
61659 | Are human passions subject to cycles? |
61659 | Are the spirits friendly? |
61659 | Are these men moodish? |
61659 | Are we immortal till that work is done, as this affects our present being? |
61659 | As we had no gun with us, the question arose, how were we to procure anything for food? |
61659 | B., are you ready now to apologize for, and take back the foul language you, without reason, heaped on me a little while since?" |
61659 | But do you think we could wait until noon? |
61659 | But the question which often puzzled me was,"When were they converted?" |
61659 | But who was to reveal this better something to him? |
61659 | By- and- bye I came across Peter some two miles from there, and the first question was,"Where is my gun?" |
61659 | CHAPTER V. Mr. Woolsey''s ministrations-- An exciting foot- race-- Building operations-- Gardening-- Stolen(?) |
61659 | Can you or any of your people make guns or ammunition? |
61659 | Can you send those strong waters back up on the mountains from whence they came? |
61659 | Can you stop yonder sun from rising in the morning? |
61659 | Do they want our guns and clothes, our blankets and ammunition? |
61659 | Has He a work for us to do? |
61659 | I have injured the Fox,''and without looking back, I said,''What is it?'' |
61659 | I said,"Tom, are you ready?" |
61659 | I shouted to him,"Where are you going?" |
61659 | I took occasion to say to her,"Are you not afraid this peace may not last very long?" |
61659 | If not, how were we to cross? |
61659 | Is the hand of the Lord upon them? |
61659 | Is the pound properly located? |
61659 | Is the time propitious? |
61659 | Is this a peace mood? |
61659 | Is this the dip or the arch in the cycle influencing these men even against themselves to seek peace? |
61659 | Later on the old chief returned, and I enquired of Maskepetoon,"Why this unusual ceremony?" |
61659 | My next question was,"What are you looking for?" |
61659 | Never mind, this man was of the true Puritan stock, and his pedigree, is it not written in heaven? |
61659 | Presently I saw an old man, of singular appearance, approaching, and I said to Maskepetoon,"Who is that?" |
61659 | So quickly did he do this that I was startled, and exclaimed,"What do you see back there?" |
61659 | The unknown: Where were the friendly Indians and the buffaloes, and where was food to be found? |
61659 | Then our visitor, having finished his harangue, disappeared as he came, and I said to Joseph, who understood the language,"What did he say?" |
61659 | Then they saw the majestic old man, indifferent to them, engaged in looking into something he held in his hand:"What manner of man is this?" |
61659 | Then why talk so foolishly and thoughtlessly?" |
61659 | There he sat, his eyes bulging out with fear as he cried,"For God''s sake, John, what are you going to do?" |
61659 | What is that you hold in your hand?" |
61659 | What makes you pale? |
61659 | What prevents them now? |
61659 | What signified it to these men that the greatest of civil wars was then raging on the continent beside them? |
61659 | When towards evening I came in on a cart- load of meat, he exclaimed:"What kept you so long? |
61659 | Why continue this any longer? |
61659 | Why not invoke the help you profess to be able to call to your aid? |
61659 | Will success or disaster be the result? |
61659 | Will the medicine work? |
61659 | Will"Who- Brings- Them- In"be wise in his handling of the buffalo? |
61659 | Would we find a boat there or not? |
61659 | You say you can easily wipe out the white men now in this country-- have you thought that they have the guns and the ammunition and the real strength? |
21244 | Do you wish to smother me, man? |
21244 | Fish? |
21244 | Have you any flour? |
21244 | Have you any potatoes? |
21244 | Have you any tea? |
21244 | Have you any venison? |
21244 | Have you volunteered to go as a missionary to that far- off land? |
21244 | He is your Father? |
21244 | How many winters will pass by before that time comes? |
21244 | Jack, my noble fellow,I said,"do you know that we are lost, and that it is very doubtful whether we shall ever see the Mission House again? |
21244 | Then we are brothers? |
21244 | WHERE IS THE MISSIONARY? |
21244 | Waiting? |
21244 | Well, here is this letter; what are you going to do about it? |
21244 | Well, why is it I never heard of him before, I wonder? |
21244 | What about when it was too stormy for any one to go? |
21244 | What did you do when it was too stormy to visit the nets? |
21244 | What have you discovered? |
21244 | What have you got, poor woman? |
21244 | What were my words of three summers ago? |
21244 | Why do you think so? |
21244 | Why should I not wash? |
21244 | Why, then,I said,"do you not worship the good Spirit? |
21244 | Will you help my wife and children also to become Christians? |
21244 | A RACE FOR LIFE IN A BLIZZARD STORM-- SAVED BY THE MARVELLOUS INTELLIGENCE OF JACK--"WHERE IS THE OLD MAN, WHOSE HEAD WAS LIKE THE SNOW- DRIFT?" |
21244 | After a while I broke the silence by saying,"Where have you buried him?" |
21244 | Again I asked:"Tell me, what have you done with the old man with the snow- white hair?" |
21244 | As we arose from our knees, I quietly said to Mrs Young,"Have you any impression on your mind as to our duty in this matter?" |
21244 | As we were poorly off for food, I was very much pleased, and said to him,"What shall I give you for this meat?" |
21244 | At length he stopped, and as we came up to him we said,"Well, Tom, what is the matter?" |
21244 | At length one of the sons spoke up and said,"Who is causing us all this trouble?" |
21244 | Before I closed the first service I asked,"Where is the old man whose head was like the snow- drift?" |
21244 | But what should we do then? |
21244 | Do n''t you think you had better come back to him?'' |
21244 | Do you not remember, William, he said that if we ever got into great trouble, the Great Spirit was the best Friend to Whom to go to help us out? |
21244 | Do you want anything more?" |
21244 | He replies,"Do you see those balsams? |
21244 | He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?" |
21244 | He turned to her and said, with something of his old enthusiasm,"Why should that thought trouble you, my dear? |
21244 | Here is a beautiful illustration:--"WHERE ARE OUR CHILDREN?" |
21244 | How can I help being happy? |
21244 | How can we spare you?'' |
21244 | How is one part more sacred than the other? |
21244 | I believe that dear Jesus will take me to that better land; but, mother, when you come, will you look for me until you find me? |
21244 | I had been very bad, and had got very far away; how could I come back? |
21244 | I quickly said to one of my men,"How much food have we?" |
21244 | I said;"for what are you waiting?" |
21244 | In a spirit that perhaps savoured too much of unbelief I cried out,"How long, O Lord, how long? |
21244 | Is it any wonder that I became deeply attached to these Nelson River Indians? |
21244 | Lifting up his eyes to mine, again he said,"May I say more?" |
21244 | One day, in conversing with an old fine- looking Indian, I said to him,"What is your religion? |
21244 | Said he,"Did you not go to Nelson River with dogs and Indians about two moons ago?" |
21244 | She read it over carefully, and then, after a quiet moment, as was quite natural, asked,"What does this mean?" |
21244 | So keeping my rifle to my shoulder, I shouted out,"Who''s there?" |
21244 | Some of them had several miles to go; but what cared they on this glad day? |
21244 | Somebody else said,"Have you the name of that boy who was accidentally shot in the leg?" |
21244 | Speaking more loudly I said,"Samuel, my brother, you are in the Valley of the Shadow of Death; how is it with you?" |
21244 | Suspecting the purpose for which I wanted it, he said,"What are you going to do with it?" |
21244 | Tell me, Missionary, what must I do to please the Great Spirit, that I may get to that beautiful land, that I may meet my children again?" |
21244 | Their minds were dark; would I soon come back and bring in the light? |
21244 | Then again he asked,"Who did you say was the author or inventor of these characters?" |
21244 | Then he said, while his eyes and voice yearned for the answer,"Does it mean He is my Father-- poor Indian''s Father?" |
21244 | Then we asked,"Are you willing to run the risk, and avail yourselves of this chance to do a glorious act?" |
21244 | This seemed to astonish them, and they said:"What has he got to talk about that is more important than the treaty?" |
21244 | Was not she a Saulteaux, and had not she a right to know of this new way, about which so much was being said? |
21244 | When shall the time arrive when` nations shall be born in a day''? |
21244 | Why do Thy chariot wheels delay?" |
21244 | Why do you make and worship idols?" |
21244 | Why resign your position?" |
21244 | what is that?" |
18216 | Am I a foe or a friend? 18216 Brothers, why are ye so foolish as to put yourselves in the hands of those that wait for you?" |
18216 | Do you love the Algonquin? |
18216 | Do you love the French? |
18216 | Fools,cried Radisson, striking a beaver skin across an Indian''s shoulder,"will you fight the Iroquois with beaver pelts? |
18216 | How many have you, Ben? |
18216 | What brings that man here( speaking of M. Desnoyers)? 18216 What could we do?" |
18216 | What fairer bastion than a good tongue,Radisson demands cynically,"especially when one sees his own chimney smoke? |
18216 | Who are you? |
18216 | Who-- fire-- on-- us? |
18216 | Are these the Mandans? |
18216 | As they stepped into their canoe, the sentry demanded,"Who goes?" |
18216 | But what lay just beyond this Assiniboine Valley? |
18216 | Could the Iroquois suffer a youth to live who had joined the murderers of the Mohawks? |
18216 | Could the Mohawks afford to offend the great Iroquois chief who was the French youth''s friend? |
18216 | Cut off from all comfort, from all encouragement, from all restraint, what set of men ever had fewer incentives to go up, more temptations to go down? |
18216 | Did Radisson realize what the discovery of the Great Northwest meant? |
18216 | Did he realize the importance of his discovery? |
18216 | Did it lie just beyond the horizon where skyline and prairie met, or did the trail of their quest run on-- on-- on-- endlessly? |
18216 | Did the dauntless life stop too? |
18216 | Do you not know the French way? |
18216 | From the said lakes to go to lake Superior there is only one portage of 15(?). |
18216 | Grant that, and the question arises, What people on the Missouri answer the description? |
18216 | Had English ships come to winter on Nelson River? |
18216 | Had Providence not placed the treacherous Iroquois in the hands of fifty Frenchmen? |
18216 | Had he been deserted? |
18216 | Had they decamped to massacre the Bow women and children left in the valley to the rear? |
18216 | He had crossed the Divide, the first white man to cross the continent in the North; but how could he know whether to follow this stream? |
18216 | How did the Chipewyans obtain these pelts from the Eskimo? |
18216 | How far westward had they gone? |
18216 | If a foe, why did you suffer me to live? |
18216 | If not, was there an undiscovered world in the North, like Louisiana in the South? |
18216 | If this were the beginning, what of the end? |
18216 | If we have no courage, why did you not tell us? |
18216 | If you have more wit than we, why did you not use it to defend yourselves against the Iroquois? |
18216 | In the face of this, what are we to think of modern writers with a reputation to lose, who brush Radisson''s exploits aside as a possible fabrication? |
18216 | In the face of this, what is to be said of the historian who calls Radisson''s adventures"a fabrication"? |
18216 | In what direction should they go? |
18216 | M. the Cardinal of Richelieu have inspired France with confidence by the humiliation of the Rochelois(?) |
18216 | Man or beast-- which was to be master now? |
18216 | Men of the North-- to turn back? |
18216 | Of what good were the boats? |
18216 | One can guess that the half- closed eyelids of his guards opened a trifle: was the mouse trying to get away from the cat? |
18216 | Radisson''s figures are given as"pounds"; but by"_ L_"did he mean English"pound"or French livre, that is 17 cents? |
18216 | Shall your children be slaves because you are cowards? |
18216 | Taking him captive, they had tied him to burn him, when a slave squaw rushed out, crying:"What would you do? |
18216 | That the intent of the entire Confederacy was hostile to Onondaga could not be mistaken; but what was holding the Indians back? |
18216 | The Commerce was then in the hands of the Rochelois(?) |
18216 | The canoe leaked like a sieve; but what did that matter? |
18216 | The question is: Did he reach the Mississippi Valley before Marquette and Jolliet and La Salle? |
18216 | The_ voyageurs_ could still fish through ice holes for food; but where was young Jean who was to bring up provisions from Michilimackinac? |
18216 | Was the man pursued by Mohawks, or laying a trap to lure them within shooting range? |
18216 | Was there a Northwest passage by water through this region to Asia? |
18216 | Were these not the assassins of countless Frenchmen, the murderers of women, the torturers of children? |
18216 | What a conquest would this be, at little or no cost? |
18216 | What are they? |
18216 | What had happened to the lake? |
18216 | What had the English done? |
18216 | What if Peace River did not lead to the west coast at all? |
18216 | What if he were behind some other discoverer sent out by the Spaniards or the Russians? |
18216 | What lay between the Hudson Bay and that Western Sea? |
18216 | What lay between this river and that other great river on the eastern side of the mountains-- the Missouri? |
18216 | What lay beyond-- the Beyond that had been luring them on and on, from river to river and land to land, for more than ten years? |
18216 | What secrets lay in the Great Unknown? |
18216 | What was the real reason of the Indian eagerness to conduct the white man to the"Far- Off- Metal River"? |
18216 | What were Radisson''s thoughts? |
18216 | What-- asked the rivals of the Company in London-- had been done in return for such national protection? |
18216 | Whence came the wealth that revived the languishing trade of New France? |
18216 | Where did the Mohawks get their guns? |
18216 | Where did the Western Sea of which Spain had possession in the South lie towards the North? |
18216 | Where did this river come from, and where did both rivers go? |
18216 | Where was the Western Sea? |
18216 | Which way should Mackenzie go? |
18216 | Which way should they turn? |
18216 | Who could be better qualified to go overland to Hudson Bay than the old missionary, loyal to France, of English birth, and beloved by the Indians? |
18216 | Who could the newcomers be? |
18216 | Who had sent these French to intercept the explorers? |
18216 | Who will baptize our children?" |
18216 | Why did they delay the massacre? |
18216 | Why do you suppose you were brought to this fort? |
18216 | Why had the Iroquois carried the Hurons away from the Frenchmen? |
18216 | Why should not men reap of the love of God here? |
18216 | Will you have your brethren, that love you, slain? |
18216 | Will you live like a Huron in bondage, or have your liberty with the French?" |
18216 | Would Radisson go on the war- path with the braves, or stay at home with the women and so lose the respect of the tribe? |
18216 | Would the relatives of the dead Mohawks consider the wampum belts full compensation? |
18216 | Wouldst kill me, too?" |
18216 | [ 11] See State Papers, Canadian Archives: M. Frontenac, the commander of French(?) |
18216 | [ 20]"Who am I?" |
18216 | [ 5] What was to be done? |
18216 | [ 8] Should they continue on the east side of the bay, or move west, where there would be no rivalry? |
18216 | [ 8] Though the strange ship displayed an English ensign, the flag did not show the magical letters"H. B. C.""Whose commission have you?" |
18216 | he demanded in plain English,"and what do you want?" |
6283 | A man in there, is there? |
6283 | Ai n''t there to be any punishment for men like him? |
6283 | Am I tidy? 6283 Am I to be left alone?" |
6283 | Are n''t you getting anything out of it? |
6283 | Are n''t you--Chief? |
6283 | But he has not come to the end of the path-- has he? |
6283 | But is it a time for talk? |
6283 | But who can tell? 6283 Ca n''t you understand?" |
6283 | Did you hear that? |
6283 | Did you see what happened to him? |
6283 | Do you need a walk so very badly? |
6283 | Do you never take a gun with you? |
6283 | Does n''t make any bones about it, does he? 6283 Got a little deeper in the mire, have you, boys?" |
6283 | Have n''t we done our part? |
6283 | Have you forgotten the Sentence of the Patrin? |
6283 | Have you seen Jethro Fawe lately? |
6283 | He will see-- he will see again? |
6283 | Heard anything more about Marchand-- where he is? |
6283 | Hell, so that''s what you''ve learned in the Gorgio world, is it? |
6283 | How did you know it was dark- red? |
6283 | I''ll try to understand,she replied presently;"Tell me, then: have they put someone in my place?" |
6283 | In what? |
6283 | Is he dead? |
6283 | Is he going far? |
6283 | Is it my father? 6283 It was the manager?" |
6283 | It''s all right, is n''t it? |
6283 | Must a Romany bare his soul before a stranger? |
6283 | Must a man who has been the voice of the Ry of Rys for the long years have no words face to face with the Ry''s daughter now that he is gone? 6283 Tell me what has happened? |
6283 | They did not go with him? |
6283 | Was I right? 6283 Was it really a guess?" |
6283 | What did the Chief do? |
6283 | What do you think Mr. Max Ingolby, Esquire, would do? 6283 What floor?" |
6283 | What is it you want to say to me? |
6283 | What is it you wish to say to me, Rhodo? |
6283 | What is it? |
6283 | What news? |
6283 | What road is that? |
6283 | What was it you said to all of them outside? |
6283 | What would you like for lunch? |
6283 | What''s all this? |
6283 | When did you have a fire last, Billy? |
6283 | Where do you walk? |
6283 | Where has he gone? |
6283 | Who can tell? 6283 Who is running the show?" |
6283 | Why did you omit Madame Bulteel and myself when you mentioned those who showed their-- friendship? |
6283 | Will you let me kiss you? |
6283 | Will you wear this for me? |
6283 | Would you like to come home to the Ry? |
6283 | Would you like to come? |
6283 | You do n''t mean that a penalty could touch you? |
6283 | You mean, since you came here? |
6283 | You will take him away? |
6283 | Ai n''t men like that to be punished at all?" |
6283 | As Gautry came reeling and plunging down the street, someone shouted,"Is there anyone in the house, Gautry?" |
6283 | But did that look still inhabit the eyes of the soul? |
6283 | But what might not happen before any rescue came? |
6283 | Ca n''t you hear it in my voice? |
6283 | Ca n''t you see it in my face? |
6283 | Ca n''t you see me?" |
6283 | Ca n''t you see me?" |
6283 | Ca n''t you understand?" |
6283 | Chickens come home to roost, do n''t they? |
6283 | Could he then see, after all? |
6283 | Dennis Doane''s the name, ai n''t it? |
6283 | Did a Druse ever turn his cheek to be smitten? |
6283 | Did they belong to each other, or were mankind only, as it were, vermin infesting the desirable world? |
6283 | Did they belong to each other? |
6283 | Do n''t you hear my heart beating? |
6283 | Do n''t you understand-- but do n''t you understand?" |
6283 | Do you hear? |
6283 | Do you think that a Druse has any fear? |
6283 | Do you think the Ry of Rys will forgive that? |
6283 | Have I used Pears''soap?" |
6283 | How did I know it was a fine day? |
6283 | How long?" |
6283 | I could n''t see it, but is there any reason why the mind should n''t see when the eyes are no longer working? |
6283 | I wonder why? |
6283 | If the New York man says the same, why despair? |
6283 | In Mesopotamia? |
6283 | Is it dark- red?" |
6283 | Is it not well with him? |
6283 | Is there any body in the house? |
6283 | Is there anybody in the house?" |
6283 | Love and money could n''t buy it-- isn''t that so?" |
6283 | Marchand spoiled his wife- run away with her up along the Wind River, eh?" |
6283 | Or did she only mean to betray her; to give her a fancied security, and leave her to Jethro-- and the night? |
6283 | Or was it gazing across the valley? |
6283 | Speculated in my railways, eh? |
6283 | Stretching out a hand, Ingolby gave a crisp laugh and said:"So there''s been trouble since I''ve been gone, has there?" |
6283 | Tell me what has happened?" |
6283 | The manager?" |
6283 | Then she said to him with an anxious note in her voice:"What do you know about my life- about the''great change,''as you call it?" |
6283 | Then, with a swift change of voice and manner, he added,"How long is it?" |
6283 | Was there some other vision commanding its sight? |
6283 | What did it mean? |
6283 | What had happened between that time and this day of fate for Lebanon and Manitou? |
6283 | What has happened?" |
6283 | What was the matter with the bank? |
6283 | What was the new thing in her carriage which captured his eye? |
6283 | Where do you think you are? |
6283 | Where was the woman that brought her to the tent-- whose tent it was? |
6283 | Why did Ingolby come to remind them of better days gone-- of his own rashness, of what they had lost through that rashness? |
6283 | Why had he come? |
4515 | A dream? |
4515 | Ammunition? |
4515 | And after that-- you saw him? |
4515 | And change black into the color of the sun? |
4515 | And how much farther have we to go? |
4515 | And if he HAD I guess you''d have let me smash his brains out when he was bending over the stove, would n''t you? |
4515 | And yet you have seen white women at Fort Churchill, at York Factory, at Lac la Biche, at Cumberland House, and Norway House, and at Fort Albany? |
4515 | And you will believe me if I tell you the rest? |
4515 | And you? |
4515 | And-- grub? |
4515 | Bless your heart, you do n''t want to see me beat out of a breakfast, do you? |
4515 | Ca n''t understand her, eh? |
4515 | Do n''t you know how these Kogmollock heathen look on a father- in- law? |
4515 | Do you suppose he was afraid of YOU? |
4515 | How did you get HERE? |
4515 | How far have we come, Bram? |
4515 | Is that it, little girl? 4515 Is that why he does n''t leave even the butcher- knife in this shack? |
4515 | It makes one shiver, eh, Pierre? 4515 It''s you they want, eh? |
4515 | Shall I throw out my bed? |
4515 | So it''s YOU? |
4515 | So you''re Philip Raine, of the R. N. M. P., eh? 4515 The-- the-- WHAT?" |
4515 | What did she say, Olaf? |
4515 | What do I WANT of her? |
4515 | Where did you start from, and where did you come ashore? 4515 Why do n''t you talk? |
4515 | Why-- talk? |
4515 | You believe me, M''sieu? |
4515 | You do n''t understand a cussed word of it, do you? |
4515 | You have never seen hair the color of this, Pierre? |
4515 | You mean Anderson-- Olaf Anderson-- and the others up at Bathurst Inlet? |
4515 | Your-- your father? |
4515 | And I must be careful and not let you know it, must n''t I? |
4515 | And I''m wondering, after you kill me, and they kill you, WHO''LL HAVE THE GIRL? |
4515 | And for what reason were mysterious enemies coming after her through the gray dawn? |
4515 | And had he guessed correctly? |
4515 | And if dissimulation-- why? |
4515 | And keeping yourself in the background while your Kogmollocks did the work? |
4515 | And then he suddenly added,"Celie, have you any more cartridges for this pop- gun? |
4515 | And was it possible that the girl did not guess her danger as she stood there? |
4515 | And what even would the club avail? |
4515 | And where-- WHERE in God''s name are we going?" |
4515 | And why, Philip asked himself, did these savage little barbarians of the north want HER? |
4515 | But WHY had she come, and what had happened to make her the companion or prisoner of Bram Johnson? |
4515 | But how in Heaven''s name did you get HERE?" |
4515 | But how was he to discover that fact? |
4515 | But would their enemies return? |
4515 | But would you understand? |
4515 | Ca n''t you answer? |
4515 | Can you leave your foxes and poison- baits and your deadfalls long enough for that?" |
4515 | Damned funny, ai n''t it?" |
4515 | Did you see that fellow topple off the fence? |
4515 | Did you split even on the cartridges?" |
4515 | Do I make myself clear? |
4515 | Do you understand? |
4515 | Do you?" |
4515 | Eh, what''s that?" |
4515 | Great Scott, ca n''t you give me some sort of an idea of who you are and where you same from?" |
4515 | Had he twice made a fool of himself? |
4515 | Have you a spare pipeful of tobacco, Phil? |
4515 | How many men you got?" |
4515 | How the devil did you do it? |
4515 | If you have-- let''s see, where did I leave off in that story about Princess Celie and the Duke of Rugni?" |
4515 | Is n''t it in your mind?" |
4515 | It makes one think of-- WHAT? |
4515 | Meanwhile we''ll get a little start for home, eh? |
4515 | Nice little package for her to have opened, eh?" |
4515 | Now, if you were n''t afraid of Bram, and if he has n''t hurt you, why did you look like that? |
4515 | Now-- I wonder WHY?" |
4515 | Now-- what in God''s name does it mean? |
4515 | Or-- had he faith in his prisoner? |
4515 | See those little groups forming? |
4515 | Shall we light some of Bram''s candles?" |
4515 | Should he have winged Bram Johnson, three times a murderer, in place of offering him a greeting? |
4515 | Should he knock the wolf- man''s brains out as he knelt there? |
4515 | So-- is it strange that he should snare rabbits with, a woman''s hair?" |
4515 | That''s it-- would you understand that I love every inch of you from the ground up or would you think I was just beast? |
4515 | The OTHERS? |
4515 | There was an unmistakable irony in his voice when he said:"It''s funny, Raine, that I should like you, ai n''t it? |
4515 | Understand? |
4515 | Understand? |
4515 | Understand? |
4515 | Was Bram Johnson actually mad-- or was he playing a colossal sham? |
4515 | Was he afraid you might shoot him in his sleep if he left the temptation in your way?" |
4515 | Was it conceivable, he asked himself, that the Eskimos had some reason for NOT killing Paul Armin, and that Celie was aware of the fact? |
4515 | Was it not a long, long time ago, and had she not in that time become, flesh and soul, a part of him? |
4515 | Was it not possible that the spying Kogmollocks had seen him go away on the hunt, and had taken advantage of the opportunity to attack the cabin? |
4515 | Was it only this morning that he had first seen her, he asked himself? |
4515 | Was it possible that Bram was striking straight north for Coronation Gulf and the Eskimo? |
4515 | Was it possible that he understood her? |
4515 | Was it possible that his shots had frightened Bram? |
4515 | Was it possible that she had comprehended some word or thought of what he had expressed to her? |
4515 | Was that it?" |
4515 | Was the suspicion real and the stupidity a clever dissimulation? |
4515 | What chance could this other man have? |
4515 | What do you want of this girl, and what have you done with her people?" |
4515 | What had brought her to the barren Arctic coast of America? |
4515 | What has happened? |
4515 | What''s yours?" |
4515 | Where are we going? |
4515 | Where is he?" |
4515 | Who is she? |
4515 | Who was she? |
4515 | Who were the mysterious enemies from whom Bram the madman had saved her? |
4515 | Why are you here with a madman and a murderer?" |
4515 | Why did you wait until this morning? |
4515 | Why do n''t you talk, and let me know who she is, and why she is here, and what you want me to do?" |
4515 | Why had she gone to Siberia? |
4515 | Why not be human? |
4515 | Why was she with Bram Johnson? |
4515 | Why you no shoot when I am there-- at head of pack?" |
4515 | Why, then, had he not attacked him the night of the caribou kill? |
4515 | Would n''t you?" |
4515 | You landed from that ship, did n''t you? |
4515 | You''re from Denmark? |
6281 | ''Mi Duvel'', but who would think-- ah, did you hear me call then? |
6281 | Ah, you give in to that which wo n''t hurt you--"Would n''t you hurt me? |
6281 | Am I the only woman that has armed herself against you and such as you? 6281 And have you read of me in the printed sheets? |
6281 | And his people go to it still- was that where you were going when I broke in on you? |
6281 | Are you able to walk now? |
6281 | But she ai n''t a chief-- what''s the use of her doin''it? 6281 Dead?" |
6281 | Did you fly? 6281 Do you speak Romany?" |
6281 | Do you think you can impress me by saying things like that? |
6281 | Gipsy-- is that so? |
6281 | Hail and blessing, my Ry, was there need of printed pages to tell me that? 6281 Has Tekewani got a lodge about here?" |
6281 | How am I always with you when I am needed, truant? |
6281 | How did you get here? |
6281 | Hurt you? 6281 I could n''t very well decline, could I?" |
6281 | I''m not Irish-- do I look Irish? |
6281 | Is he dead? |
6281 | Is my tongue as sharp as that? |
6281 | Is only the Gorgio to embrace the Romany lass? 6281 Is she a heretic, then, madame?" |
6281 | Is she dead? |
6281 | Is that the Western slang for saying he belongs nowhere? |
6281 | May n''t I go with you? |
6281 | Personal harm? |
6281 | Rogue, what have you to say of such things? |
6281 | Since when were you my husband? |
6281 | That''s right, is n''t it? |
6281 | Then you know all that is working against you in Manitou-- working harder than ever before? |
6281 | Was it really you who started those factories? |
6281 | What are my plans? |
6281 | What did she do? |
6281 | What do you want with me, my Romany''chal''? |
6281 | What have you to do with my daughter? |
6281 | What is it you want to do with Manitou and Lebanon? |
6281 | What is the Romany word for hedgehog? |
6281 | What is your own? |
6281 | What mills-- in Manitou? |
6281 | What shall we do? |
6281 | What was the history of Aunt Cynthy? |
6281 | What were you going to say? |
6281 | When have you seen her since the day before the tent of Lemuel Fawe now seventeen years ago? |
6281 | When? |
6281 | Where are you going? |
6281 | Where? |
6281 | Who are you that you should come? 6281 Who is he?" |
6281 | Who is it-- some of the heathen from the Reservation? |
6281 | Who is she? |
6281 | Who shot Carillon Rapids? |
6281 | Why not? 6281 With such queer ones, who knows? |
6281 | Wo n''t you sit down? |
6281 | Would you mind telling me where you got your information? |
6281 | Yes-- but? |
6281 | You do n''t like Felix Marchand? |
6281 | You give in to Manitou? |
6281 | You have heard? |
6281 | You have set him free? |
6281 | You mean you wo n''t go free from here? 6281 You really wish to know-- you do n''t know?" |
6281 | You would have shot me-- you are armed? |
6281 | Am I a chattel to be bartered by any will except my own? |
6281 | Am I deceived, I who have known more liars than any man under the sky? |
6281 | Am I to be fooled, who have seen so many fools in their folly? |
6281 | But who says all that? |
6281 | Did he think that because he had done her a great service, he could say casually what belonged only to the sacred moments of existence? |
6281 | Did he think that he could say a thing of that sort to her-- when he pleased? |
6281 | Did not the beautiful Russian countess on the Volga flee from her liege lord and share his''tan''? |
6281 | Did they tell you where I was to be found?" |
6281 | Do you hear the Rapids calling-- the Rapids of Carillon?" |
6281 | Do you hear the river singing towards Carillon? |
6281 | Do you not see?" |
6281 | Do you see the wild birds flying towards Carillon? |
6281 | Do you?" |
6281 | Does not the whisper pass as the lightning flashes? |
6281 | For long it had been an obsession with her-- as though some spirit whispered in her ear--"Do you hear the bells ringing at Carillon? |
6281 | Had he not read in books which so few have learned to read? |
6281 | Had the last few years given her the civic sense, the home sense? |
6281 | Have I said or done anything that a Gorgio duke would n''t do? |
6281 | Have you any special news about it?" |
6281 | Have you forgotten all, my Ry? |
6281 | Have you heard anything?" |
6281 | Have you no heart?" |
6281 | Have you seen many men drunk?" |
6281 | How does the star sweep across the sky? |
6281 | How does the wind go? |
6281 | How should she know? |
6281 | If the fountain is choked, how shall the water run?" |
6281 | If the hand be cut off, how shall the body move? |
6281 | Is it Irish, or-- do you mind my asking? |
6281 | Is not everything known of the Ry to the Romany people without the written or printed thing? |
6281 | Is there a Romany camp at Scutari? |
6281 | It is singing, is n''t it?" |
6281 | Shall it not know what is the news of the Bailies of Scotland and the Caravans by the Tagus? |
6281 | She knew she had been selfish, but would Gabriel Druse understand? |
6281 | So where should he go if not to the Railway? |
6281 | To that, with a sly quirk of the mouth, and meaning to mystify his wooden- headed questioner still more, he answered:"Dead- struck? |
6281 | Was he inferior to such as Ingolby, or even Tekewani? |
6281 | Was he no better than such as Jethro Fawe? |
6281 | What Romany ever constructed anything? |
6281 | What are the wild waves saying? |
6281 | What are your plans?" |
6281 | What do the priests-- what does Monseigneur Lourde say to it all?" |
6281 | What had she a right to tell? |
6281 | What have you heard, Jethro, son of Lemuel?" |
6281 | What is it I have that you come for?" |
6281 | What is your race? |
6281 | What makes you say he means personal harm? |
6281 | What must she say? |
6281 | What was it her duty to say? |
6281 | What was it made the difference between the two? |
6281 | What''s the good of havin''your own way with one that''s the apple of your eye, if it turns her agin you? |
6281 | What''s the noise they make in the heart, if it''s not singing? |
6281 | When he played his fiddle to the Austrian princess, did she not give him a key to the garden where she walked of an evening? |
6281 | Wherefore should she know? |
6281 | Who raises the cry of''wolf''in Manitou?" |
6281 | Why are you here? |
6281 | Why does n''t Ma''m''selle wear them?" |
6281 | Why should she do it? |
6281 | Why was Fleda Druse tempting death in the Carillon Rapids? |
6281 | Why? |
6281 | Would he turn his face away in disgust? |
6281 | Yet was this so after all? |
6281 | Yet, was he so illiterate? |
6715 | All of them are-- dead? |
6715 | And I-- may-- stay? |
6715 | And what do you expect to take-- afterward? |
6715 | And you are familiar with our laws governing insubordination and conduct unbecoming an officer of the service? |
6715 | And you will never come to me again? |
6715 | And you''re going to stick? |
6715 | Are they-- married? |
6715 | Are you a-- relative? |
6715 | Are you alone? |
6715 | Are you very much afraid-- for her? |
6715 | Billy, you ai n''t going to hunt him up, are you? 6715 Blake, you say? |
6715 | Blue eyes? |
6715 | David-- David-- is it you? |
6715 | Did n''t think I knew you, did you, Billy? |
6715 | Do n''t you see-- do n''t you understand? 6715 Foolish idea, was n''t it? |
6715 | God... that kid... You, do n''t know how I got to love her, Billy,... give her up...What did it mean? |
6715 | Had a pretty good chance to get me, if you''d been alone, did n''t you, Bucky? |
6715 | Have a good nap? |
6715 | Head hurt? |
6715 | How about going out with me to get some wood? |
6715 | How''s your head? |
6715 | Hungry, eh, little one? 6715 Hurt?" |
6715 | I am better and-- and-- it is over? |
6715 | It''s you they want, eh? 6715 My God, Bill, is that the sun?" |
6715 | My Jeanne has blue eyes--"And have they little brown dots in them like a wood violet? |
6715 | Nervous? |
6715 | No- o- o--"They''re blue, just blue, ai n''t they? |
6715 | Of course you''re going back for her? |
6715 | Pelly, did you ever-- ever notice eyes-- very closely? |
6715 | Seems queer, do n''t it, Billy? |
6715 | She''s not dead? |
6715 | So it''s you, is it? |
6715 | So it''s you, is it? |
6715 | So it''s you? |
6715 | The man who stole little Isobel,he breathed--"who was he?" |
6715 | The-- the baby? |
6715 | There is no doubt in your mind that I hold a sergeancy in the service, is there, Walker? |
6715 | Understand? 6715 Was it that damned half- breed?" |
6715 | What do you mean? |
6715 | What do you say, Billy? |
6715 | What has happened? 6715 What if you had to write this twice a year?" |
6715 | What in Heaven''s name are you driving at? |
6715 | What in thunder did you expect to do if you caught''em, Billy? 6715 What was that?" |
6715 | What''s the matter, Mac? |
6715 | What''s your game? |
6715 | What? |
6715 | Where''s mine? |
6715 | Where''s the woman? |
6715 | Where''s your grub, pardner? |
6715 | Who are you, and where in Heaven''s name did you come from? |
6715 | Who are you,''n''where''d you come from? 6715 Who is there in Churchill that I can get to go with me?" |
6715 | Who''s with you? |
6715 | Will you eat it there? |
6715 | Will you shake? |
6715 | Will you take some of it, Isobel? 6715 Yes-- yes-- I am tired--""And hungry and cold?" |
6715 | You are tired, little girl? |
6715 | You do n''t want to be sick, do you? 6715 You know how the wolves hunt, Pelly,"said MacVeigh--"in a moon- shape half circle, you know, that closes in on the running game from in front? |
6715 | You may think me a little mad,he said,"but do you care if I tell you about that blue flower?" |
6715 | You met him? |
6715 | You want a fight, do you, boys? |
6715 | You wo n''t kill her? |
6715 | You wo n''t kill my baby? 6715 You wo n''t think that I''ve gone mad, will you, or that I''m saying or doing anything that''s wrong? |
6715 | You''re going to take her to her mother? |
6715 | You''re sure you''ve told me everything, Pelly? 6715 You''ve got a little decency in your hide, have n''t you? |
6715 | You? |
6715 | Your half- breed had pretty long hair, did n''t he? |
6715 | After a moment he turned and asked again:"What was that?" |
6715 | After all, did that golden hair, that white woman''s hair, mean nothing? |
6715 | After all, was there much to choose between the three of them? |
6715 | Ai n''t there one of that lingo among you?" |
6715 | And after that what would be left for him? |
6715 | And if she died why should he-- Billy MacVeigh-- tell him anything about little Isobel? |
6715 | And where-- where-- is she?" |
6715 | But would he tell the truth of what had happened after that? |
6715 | Did you hear the drum? |
6715 | Do you mind-- telling me?" |
6715 | Do you suppose-- the dead man-- might be her father?" |
6715 | Do you understand? |
6715 | Drag the woman back by the hair of''er''ead? |
6715 | Geoffrey Renaud? |
6715 | Got any tobacco?" |
6715 | Had a madness of some sort driven all human instincts from them? |
6715 | He heard a voice which came to him from a great distance, and which said,"Who the hell is this?" |
6715 | He stopped and asked:"Can you tell me where Geoffrey Renaud lives?" |
6715 | How far had they come, he wondered? |
6715 | How had she come to be with the Eskimo woman and Blake? |
6715 | How much of a start of us has he and that squaw that''s traveling with him got?" |
6715 | Hungry? |
6715 | I do n''t suppose-- we''d dare-- bring out the kid?" |
6715 | If we''re killed and the cabin burned, who''s going to say what happened to us? |
6715 | Is it the house you want to see-- or Renaud?" |
6715 | Just go back-- an''bring her to the door, will you? |
6715 | Not so bad, was it?" |
6715 | Now, I wonder why?" |
6715 | Of course, you''re anxious to get back your stolen outfit?" |
6715 | Pretty good tent, is n''t it?" |
6715 | Remember my promise, Billy? |
6715 | She sent it, do you hear, boy? |
6715 | She''s too little to remember, ai n''t she? |
6715 | Starving?" |
6715 | The inspector in charge stared at him twice, and then cried,"My God, is it you, MacVeigh?" |
6715 | Then he said:"Renaud? |
6715 | Then she said, faintly:"You have been alone?" |
6715 | There was n''t anything in his pockets? |
6715 | They''re bushed, and they''ve given the chase up as a bad job, so what''s the use of making a fool of yourself? |
6715 | Understand? |
6715 | Was it possible that these were people of his own kind? |
6715 | Was it possible, he asked himself, that there could be some association between Isobel and Little Mystery? |
6715 | Was there a chance there, he wondered? |
6715 | What had McTabb told him in that part of the letter that was gone? |
6715 | What miracle could be bringing them back? |
6715 | What tragedy had placed her here? |
6715 | What was that? |
6715 | What would he find? |
6715 | Where did you get her? |
6715 | Where there''s dogs there''s men-- but who in Heaven''s name can they be?" |
6715 | Where''s your mama''n''your papa?" |
6715 | Who are they?" |
6715 | Who was this little abandoned mite? |
6715 | Who were her father and her mother, and where were they? |
6715 | Why are you away up here? |
6715 | Why did n''t I bring a cup?" |
6715 | Will you bring in a light?" |
6715 | Will you go into the tent-- with her?" |
6715 | Would n''t you think so?" |
6715 | You searched well?" |
6715 | You wo n''t think I mean wrong, will you, if I tell you? |
6715 | You would n''t rob her father, would you? |
6715 | You''re-- you''re goin''to be there, ai n''t you, Billy?" |
6715 | You''ve got my letter safe?" |
6715 | what does this mean, old man?" |
18495 | ''Gat Gardiner?'' 18495 ''Where did you get the lot?'' |
18495 | And what did you say to him? |
18495 | Arm them? |
18495 | Before the advent of the railroad and the steamboat, which was the longest of the Company''s packet routes? |
18495 | But do either of the traders know you have it? |
18495 | But how could he fire his gun if his canoe had drifted away? |
18495 | But, Billy, why did n''t you shoot it? |
18495 | Did he always bring your grandmother a present? |
18495 | Did you bring back anything? |
18495 | Do the Company''s officers experience much trouble in procuring men to act as packeteers? |
18495 | Gude day, man Oo- koo- hoo, what can I do for ye the day? |
18495 | Have you much fur? |
18495 | How many miles a day do the packeteers average on their winter trips? |
18495 | How many wolverines,I asked,"do you suppose are causing all the trouble on your and Amik''s trapping paths?" |
18495 | If I have what you have n''t got,my host smiled,"will you dine with me?" |
18495 | In what have I failed? |
18495 | May I use your stove to cook breakfast? |
18495 | My son, perhaps you wonder why I did not use my gun? 18495 Shoot? |
18495 | Speaking of feeding, what do you consider the best food for dogs? |
18495 | Then kerosene is not included in the regular rations the Company supplies for its trippers and voyageurs? |
18495 | What does Spring mean to you town folk, anyway? 18495 What does it mean to the man of the woods? |
18495 | What was it? |
18495 | What''s that? |
18495 | Would you look as well upon a black fox? |
18495 | You know how bears will act when they sometimes comes across a handy log? 18495 ''Got any weapons on you?'' 18495 ( What cheer, what cheer?) 18495 After all-- was he but a fond parents''dream? 18495 Again, I wondered whoSon- in- law"could be? |
18495 | All at once I heard the dogs blowin''so hard----""Blowing?" |
18495 | And when the male comes, what does the female do? |
18495 | Are you ashamed?" |
18495 | But does not the one exception prove the rule? |
18495 | But of what use was one snowshoe? |
18495 | But perhaps you are wondering about the beautiful Athabasca? |
18495 | But why have you not more improved since you have long had the opportunity from our example? |
18495 | But,"smiled Oo- koo- hoo,"she was devoured with curiosity; and, besides, was not her young lover with her? |
18495 | Could any country in the world have chosen a more inspiring creature than Canada has chosen for her national symbol? |
18495 | Could any nation choose a creature more fit for a national emblem? |
18495 | Did we not eat the fat and the blood, and use the firewood he left at our door?'' |
18495 | Did you ever meet a character like that in northern fiction? |
18495 | Did you like the play?" |
18495 | First he responded with a burst of laughter, then with the question:"Why, what''s the use of getting up?" |
18495 | Furthermore, when people exclaim:"What''s the matter with the movies?" |
18495 | Had I done anything to displease her? |
18495 | Had they not lent a hand in the winning of the treasure that was floating away? |
18495 | Have you one?" |
18495 | How did I manage it? |
18495 | How did it happen? |
18495 | How? |
18495 | How? |
18495 | Hunt the world over, and could one find any more holy places than some of Nature''s sanctuaries? |
18495 | I asked him to explain, but he only laughed knowingly, so I turned the subject by asking:"Does an animal ever eat the bait after it is caught?" |
18495 | I was afraid he was going to turn in, so I quickly asked:"Which is the longest of the Company''s packet routes at the present day?" |
18495 | I would ask him:"Why do you stay in bed?" |
18495 | If the latter, what sign or signal would he use so that they might keep in touch with him? |
18495 | Is it any wonder the red man laughs? |
18495 | Is that a fact?" |
18495 | It made me think of the shy but radiant Athabasca, and I wondered-- was her lover with her now? |
18495 | Knowing that the hunter had wanted to procure more than one moose I asked him why he had not at once pursued the other? |
18495 | Lest something interesting should be lost, I ventured:"Was it the Bishop or the Commissioner that made the trouble?" |
18495 | Next I asked Oo- koo- hoo in which direction men usually turned when lost in the woods-- to the right or to the left? |
18495 | No wonder Shing- wauk-- The Little Pine-- sang his love song, too, for was not his heart aflame with the spring time of life? |
18495 | No, of course not; how could you? |
18495 | Of course such ideas seem strange to us, but, after all, are we in a position to ridicule the Indians''belief? |
18495 | Presently the Factor and I were alone for a few moments and he growled:"Whit d''ye think o''the auld de''il?" |
18495 | Publish it? |
18495 | Queer, is n''t it, the way women sometimes affect one? |
18495 | She, too, set me wondering; was she thinking of Son- in- law? |
18495 | So now, do you wonder that I laugh?" |
18495 | So what do you think the cunnin''brute did? |
18495 | Some of the packeteers, I should judge, have made great records; have n''t they?" |
18495 | Spear got up and, getting a picture book, asked:"Mr. Heming, are you fond of pictures? |
18495 | Spear turned to me and beamed:"Does n''t Athabasca look radiantly beautiful?" |
18495 | Strange, is n''t it, that the writers of northern novels never depict a scene like that? |
18495 | THE LONGEST BRIGADE ROUTES After a little while I asked:"What was the longest route of the old- time canoe and boat brigades?" |
18495 | Tell me now why and from whence you come?" |
18495 | The dwelling- house was closed, the store shut up, the man in charge had not yet come up from St. John''s; now what was to be done? |
18495 | The great canoe swings as though upon a pivot; for is not the steersman doing exactly the very opposite at this precise moment? |
18495 | Then I wondered-- was this the man? |
18495 | Then, too, is not any production of the creative arts-- a poem, a story, a play, a painting, or a statue-- but a reflection of the composer''s soul? |
18495 | To prevent it from being soiled or torn? |
18495 | V MEETING OF THE WILD MEN WHO IS SON- IN- LAW? |
18495 | Was it Son- in- law? |
18495 | Was it any wonder I was happy? |
18495 | Was it in the same way that her young white man had come so many miles on snowshoes through the winter woods just to call upon her? |
18495 | Was it not going to build a fleet of steamers to ply upon the lakes and rivers in that section? |
18495 | Were they not bidding farewell to fathers, husbands, brothers, sons, or lovers, chosen as the best men from their village? |
18495 | What did it all mean? |
18495 | What do they do when they want a mate? |
18495 | What was it thinking about? |
18495 | What would you give to live such a peaceful life? |
18495 | Whence did he come? |
18495 | Whenever your forefathers were smitten with hunger or disease, who looked after them? |
18495 | Who gave you your debt last fall and made it possible for you to hunt this winter? |
18495 | Who sells you the best goods? |
18495 | Why do you not believe mine?'' |
18495 | Why need she fear? |
18495 | Why the mirth?" |
18495 | Why, your reverence, do n''t you know, packeteers never carries a gun?" |
18495 | Why? |
18495 | Will you?" |
18495 | Would I go? |
18495 | Would he himself skin and cut up the bear, or would he want the women to help him? |
18495 | _ wat- che_?" |
18495 | asked The Bear,"for would not his gun be in his canoe?" |
18495 | could he be"Son- in- law"? |
18495 | do n''t you think it would be a good thing if you took son- in- law into partnership?" |
18495 | indeed? |
18495 | indeed?" |
18495 | not just this week, this month, or this season, but what is actually occurring day by day, throughout the cycle of an entire year? |
18495 | roared the Factor,"what is''t the noo?" |
18495 | what is daily going on in the Great Northern Forest? |
32236 | An''what for wu''d a leave it eating a''the oatmeal? 32236 And when no sound comes back?" |
32236 | Could the white man run fast? |
32236 | How could they do that if they were not alive? |
32236 | Montagnais? 32236 What do you do when the clouds catch you on this sort of a ledge?" |
32236 | Add to that the twenty shot, and what does the day''s work represent? |
32236 | Afraid? |
32236 | And were the men carving a way through the wilderness only the bushwhackers who have pioneered other forest lands? |
32236 | And what did MacDougall do? |
32236 | And what place in the scale of destruction does the trapper occupy? |
32236 | And what was the alert North- West Company doing? |
32236 | And who are the subjects living under this Mosaic paternalism? |
32236 | Are such onslaughts common among bears, or are they the mad freaks of the bear''s nature? |
32236 | Besides, what''s this across the creek? |
32236 | Black fox turning to a dull gray of midsummer may not be silver fox; but what about gray fox turning to the beautiful glossy black of midwinter? |
32236 | But how about Mr. Blue Fox of the same size and habit as the white Arctic? |
32236 | But that was enough for Koot-- it was prompt answer to his prayer; for where do the jays quarrel and fight and flutter but on the trail? |
32236 | But what does that matter? |
32236 | But what of the ruthless slaughter among the little musk- rats? |
32236 | Colter afraid? |
32236 | Could it be the dog? |
32236 | Did a man enlist? |
32236 | Did he bear some message from the Nor''Westers to MacDougall? |
32236 | Did the crushed spear- grass tell any tales of what had passed that mud hole? |
32236 | Do these two, badger and coyote, consciously hunt together? |
32236 | Does a husky fag? |
32236 | Does every prospector expect to find gold nuggets? |
32236 | Does he hope for a silver fox? |
32236 | Does humanity not revolt at the thought? |
32236 | Does the Indian trapper see all this? |
32236 | Does the bird perch on a tree? |
32236 | Does the mouse thread a hundred mazes and hide in a hole? |
32236 | Does the rat hide under rock? |
32236 | Enemies could be seen soon enough; but where could the trapper hide on bare prairie? |
32236 | Had a piece of fungus been torn from a hemlock log? |
32236 | Had not Colter crossed the Rockies with Lewis and Clark and spent two years in the mountain fastnesses? |
32236 | Hang back and starve with him, or hasten forward while they had strength, to the party whose track they had espied? |
32236 | Here the track is lost at the narrow ford of an inflowing stream, but across the creek lies a fallen poplar littered with-- what? |
32236 | How did these coasters of the wilds guide themselves over prairies that were a chartless sea and mountains that were a wilderness? |
32236 | How did these rulers of the wilds, these princes of the fur trade, live in lonely forts and mountain fastnesses? |
32236 | How did they do it? |
32236 | How does it feel benighted among those clouds? |
32236 | How does the wavey know where to find the rush- grown inland pools? |
32236 | How much farther would the cañon lead? |
32236 | How were those fabulously costly skins prepared? |
32236 | How would he get his directions to set out? |
32236 | In which of the hundred water- ways in the labyrinth of pond and stream where beavers roam is this particular family to be found? |
32236 | Is anything that man has ever done to the buffalo herd half as tragically pitiful as nature''s process of deposing a buffalo leader? |
32236 | Is he a freak or a climax or the regular product of yearly climatic changes caught in the nick of time by some lucky trapper? |
32236 | Is he the Arctic fox in summer clothing? |
32236 | Is it the same with the silver fox? |
32236 | Is silver fox simply a fine specimen of black caught at the very period when he is blooming into his greatest beauty? |
32236 | Is that what makes silver fox? |
32236 | Is the fire out? |
32236 | Is this trapping not after all brutal butchery? |
32236 | Is this true? |
32236 | It is the old question, should animal life be sacrificed to preserve human life? |
32236 | It was the Raccoon, and the British captain addressed the Astorians in words that have become historic:"_ Is this the fort I''ve heard so much about? |
32236 | Mais, Montagnais, he stick gun- stock in de snow stop heem fall-- so-- see? |
32236 | Need one ask why the rarest furs, which can only be produced by the coldest of climates, are so costly? |
32236 | Of how many companies that it has cared for the sick, sought the lost, fed the starving, housed the homeless? |
32236 | Of how many other creditors may that be said? |
32236 | Of how many other men can that be said? |
32236 | Once caught in the steel jaws, little wapistan must wait-- wait for what? |
32236 | Or does he aim at bigger game? |
32236 | Scrambling up, he saw that a stick had caught the web of his snow- shoe; but where was the barrel for which he had been steering? |
32236 | Should Vanderburgh stay or follow? |
32236 | Should he turn back? |
32236 | Should the Americans follow or stay? |
32236 | Should they go higher up or not? |
32236 | Should they shoot in the half- dark? |
32236 | That brings up the question-- what is a silver fox? |
32236 | The children''s hour, has a great poet called a certain time of day? |
32236 | Then-- was it possible?--these grizzled fellows, dressed in tinkers''tatters, were singing-- what? |
32236 | To- day where are the buffalo? |
32236 | Was a_ voyageur_ on the point of embarking? |
32236 | Was he not carrying the snared rabbits over his shoulder? |
32236 | Was it wooded or clear plain above the walls? |
32236 | Were n''t the mountaineers leaving a trifle too soon? |
32236 | Were there other impressions dimmer on the dry mud? |
32236 | What Indian would have so little sense? |
32236 | What are the facts regarding the buffalo? |
32236 | What brought about the change? |
32236 | What did the ancient company care? |
32236 | What gift has wapistan, the marten, to protect himself against all the powers that prey? |
32236 | What had dug that hole? |
32236 | What heeds the trapper? |
32236 | What if he had crossed the trail? |
32236 | What if the storm came and wiped out the trail before he could reach the fort? |
32236 | What if this were the long- lost Mr. Hunt coming back from Alaskan trade on the Beaver? |
32236 | What is the secret of the musk- rat''s survival while the strong creatures of the chase like buffalo and timber- wolf have been almost exterminated? |
32236 | What man hunter would follow so far? |
32236 | What ought they to do? |
32236 | What quarry does he seek, this lawless forager of the upper airs still hunting a hidden nook of the low prairie? |
32236 | What then? |
32236 | What was it? |
32236 | What was that noise? |
32236 | What was the matter? |
32236 | What would Blackfeet be doing, riding at a pace to make such thunder so close to a cañon? |
32236 | Where did this family come from? |
32236 | Where had the fugitive gone? |
32236 | Where is the runway in which the others are hiding? |
32236 | Where to go now? |
32236 | Where was the master who had bidden them stand while he felt his way blindly through the white whirl of a blizzard for the lost path? |
32236 | Which way does the newly- discovered footprint run? |
32236 | Who had told Vanderburgh and Drips that the mountaineers were to meet at Pierre''s Hole in 1832? |
32236 | Who taught them this devilish ingenuity of attack? |
32236 | Who tells the caribou mother to seek refuge on islands where the water will cut off the wolves that would prey on her young? |
32236 | Who would enter and learn if the Deschamps were all dead? |
32236 | Why did MacDougall lose his tone of courage with such surprising swiftness? |
32236 | Why do they? |
32236 | Why does it lie on its back rigid and straight as if it were dead with all four tiny paws clutched out stiff? |
32236 | Why was Stuart, an honourable, fair- minded man, in such high dudgeon that he shook free of Thompson''s company on their way back up the Columbia? |
32236 | Why, then, is there no capture? |
32236 | Will he take it home and try the experiment of rearing a young mink with a family of kittens? |
32236 | Will he wait out that long Northern night? |
32236 | Would he then be so brave? |
32236 | [ 37] What had dug the hole? |
32236 | de snow, she go slide, slide, lak''de-- de gran''rapeed, see?" |
32236 | he asked thickly, fumbling with both hands,"what is done to my eyes? |
11426 | Achille, you have n''t anything against me-- do you want me to die? |
11426 | All is at peace between us? |
11426 | All of that is quite true,he repeated after a second''s pause;"but what has it to do with me? |
11426 | And in the meantime? |
11426 | Are you just a little sorry for me? |
11426 | Are you there, Galen Albret? |
11426 | Are you? 11426 Better to take_ la Longue Traverse_ in summer, eh?" |
11426 | But is it not a little calculating? 11426 But your heart?" |
11426 | Ca n''t you see? |
11426 | Do n''t you hear? |
11426 | Do n''t you see the logic of events forces me to think so? 11426 Do n''t you think this farce is about played out? |
11426 | Do you leave-- to- day? |
11426 | Do you think I will tell you? |
11426 | Do you wish me to go, father? |
11426 | For w''at I want dat you die? 11426 Have you a canoe?" |
11426 | Have you a rifle-- for_ la Longue Traverse_? |
11426 | How could I know? |
11426 | How you mak''eet him so mad? 11426 How you mak''eet him?" |
11426 | I beleef you,responded Achille, cheerfully;"w''at you call heem your nam''?" |
11426 | Is he gone? |
11426 | Is that all? |
11426 | Is the journey then so long, sir,she asked composedly,"that it at once inspires such anticipations-- and such bitterness?" |
11426 | Is the trade so good, are your needs then so great, that you must run these perils? |
11426 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
11426 | Mademoiselle? |
11426 | Must I decide at once? |
11426 | No-- yes-- why not? |
11426 | Shall I be sent out at once, do you think? |
11426 | Sorry for a weakness you do not understand? 11426 Surely you can forgive me, a desperate man, almost anything?" |
11426 | That you? 11426 Then why did you change your mind?" |
11426 | Then why do you stay in this dreadful North? |
11426 | Then why is he not our guest? |
11426 | Then why? |
11426 | This dreadful thing is necessary? |
11426 | This_ Longue Traverse_,went on Albret,"what is your idea there? |
11426 | Virginia goes with me? |
11426 | Virginia, this is true? |
11426 | Wat you do? 11426 Wat you wan''me do?" |
11426 | Well? |
11426 | What do you mean by that? |
11426 | What do you mean? |
11426 | What do you mean? |
11426 | What do you want with me? |
11426 | What does this mean? |
11426 | What great danger is he in? |
11426 | What happened? |
11426 | What is his station? 11426 What is that?" |
11426 | What is that? |
11426 | What then? |
11426 | What wrong? |
11426 | What? |
11426 | Who can tell? |
11426 | Who is that man? 11426 Who told you?" |
11426 | Who was that second person? |
11426 | Who? |
11426 | Whose? |
11426 | Why did I come? 11426 Why did I come?" |
11426 | Why did you come here, then? 11426 Why did you not ask me, as you intended? |
11426 | Why not? |
11426 | Why, if you have realized the gravity of your situation have you persisted after having been twice warned? |
11426 | Why-- why did you come? |
11426 | Why? 11426 Why?" |
11426 | Why? |
11426 | Why? |
11426 | Will not the princess leave her sisters of dreams? |
11426 | Will she recover? |
11426 | You are going to Quebec? |
11426 | You are going to do this thing, father,appealed Virginia,"after what I have told you?" |
11426 | You can not mean that? |
11426 | You consent? 11426 You do not believe me?" |
11426 | You have everything you need? |
11426 | You knew my father? |
11426 | You knew this before? |
11426 | You know who aided this man? |
11426 | You love my daughter truly? |
11426 | You persist in that nonsense? |
11426 | You refuse? |
11426 | You tell me of it yourself? 11426 You think so?" |
11426 | You think so? |
11426 | You were alone? |
11426 | You? |
11426 | Your father-- you knew him well? |
11426 | Your right? |
11426 | Am I forgiven?" |
11426 | And that is a solemn thing; is it not?" |
11426 | Are you going to treat your little girl so-- your Virginia? |
11426 | Are you, indeed?" |
11426 | But do I err in concluding that the state of your game law is such that it would be useless to reclaim my rifle from the engaging Placide?" |
11426 | But last night----""Yes, last night?" |
11426 | But where did you get this rifle?" |
11426 | Can you ask that? |
11426 | Did be not owe her, too, some reparation? |
11426 | Did n''t you hear me calling you when you paddled away? |
11426 | Did you come here to try_ la Longue Traverse_ of which you spoke to- day?" |
11426 | Do n''t you see how I felt? |
11426 | Do n''t you suppose I had weighed the risks and had made up my mind to take my medicine if I should be caught? |
11426 | Do n''t you suppose I knew what I was about when I came into this country? |
11426 | Do n''t you understand?" |
11426 | Do you dare deny my will? |
11426 | Do you dare interfere where I think well? |
11426 | Do you dare set your judgment against mine? |
11426 | Do you refuse?" |
11426 | Do you think I have not been here often before I was caught? |
11426 | Do you wish to know the real reason for my coming into this country, why I have traded in defiance of the Company throughout the whole Far North? |
11426 | Does it touch you a little? |
11426 | Does the Company own the Indians and the creatures of the woods?" |
11426 | Does_ he_ give such orders? |
11426 | Feel the wind on your cheek? |
11426 | Had he nothing more to tell her? |
11426 | Had she not heard it in the music of his voice from the first?--the passion of his tones? |
11426 | Have there been men sent out since you came here?" |
11426 | How could I help but come? |
11426 | I believe I could touch her pity-- ah, Ned Trent, Ned Trent, can you ever forget her frightened, white face begging you to be kind?" |
11426 | In what danger does he stand? |
11426 | Is he a common trader? |
11426 | She exclaimed, in astonishment,"Are you not of the Company?" |
11426 | Since when has the Company confided in Andrew Laviolette, in Wishkobun, in_ you_?" |
11426 | Surely you admit the injustice?" |
11426 | That is a solemn thing, too, is it not?" |
11426 | The hardships of the wilderness are many, the dangers terrible-- what more natural than that a man should die of them in the forest? |
11426 | They have my goods-- but I----""You?" |
11426 | Was not this an opportunity vouchsafed him to repair his ancient fault, to cleanse his conscience of the one sin of the kind it would acknowledge? |
11426 | Was the word to lack, the word she needed so much? |
11426 | Was this to be all? |
11426 | What are you going to ask of me?" |
11426 | What do you suppose I care what, or what not, any of this crew wants? |
11426 | What does he want a rifle for? |
11426 | What is your information?" |
11426 | What must he think of her? |
11426 | What other course is open to you? |
11426 | What was the aid you asked of him? |
11426 | When do I leave?" |
11426 | Who is this man?" |
11426 | Why am I stopped and sent out from the free forest? |
11426 | Why did you come back? |
11426 | Why did you come?" |
11426 | Why did you tell me these lies?" |
11426 | Why has it been kept from me alone? |
11426 | Why is that?" |
11426 | Will you not greet me?" |
11426 | Will you promise to do that?" |
11426 | Wo n''t you tell me about it?" |
11426 | Would not you too mock and sneer? |
11426 | Would not you, too, be bitter, mademoiselle? |
11426 | Would you like to go to Quebec?" |
11426 | You is come trade dose fur? |
11426 | You will be there-- surely?" |
11426 | _ He_?" |
11426 | _ What_ is he?" |
11426 | _ Who_ is he? |
11426 | and where else did you expect to get it?" |
11426 | the dreamy, lyrical swing of his talk by the old bronze guns? |
11426 | whispered the voice, fantastically,"Will she not come?" |
15401 | A what? |
15401 | About played out, I guess? |
15401 | And now say, did He not mean by those outstretched arms that for evermore the white tribes should dwell in the East and the red tribes in the West? 15401 And what will happen to the wife?" |
15401 | Any conveyance thither? |
15401 | Are there Crees around the fort? |
15401 | Are they the greatest mountains in the world? |
15401 | Are you shure he has it at all at all? |
15401 | But if he calls on you? |
15401 | But is not this the West? |
15401 | By the road to the Lake of the Woods? |
15401 | Can you give me a guide to Norway House? |
15401 | Did he say he had had it himself? |
15401 | Did he tell you any thing about the small- pox? |
15401 | Did n''t I see it in his own hand? |
15401 | Do you think it''s small- pox? |
15401 | Had I come from it? |
15401 | Has this man eaten other men? |
15401 | How can you tell at this distance that he has come from the fort? |
15401 | How far,asked I,"to the Lower Fort?" |
15401 | If it was the same company,they- say,"how could they give our enemies, the Crees, guns and powder; for do they not give us guns and powder too?" |
15401 | If the mosquitoes let us travel? |
15401 | Is it possible you do n''t know who Stephen B. Douglas was? |

12874 | Did n''t you faint with the awful pain?" |
12874 | Do we wonder that Indians worship the great forces of Nature? |

5895 | And NOW what do you think of your Jean de Gravois? |
5895 | And NOW what if Jan Thoreau still feels that the curse is upon him? |
5895 | And did you ever see me run any faster? |

5895 | But I say, Mélisse--"Are the dogs ready? |
5895 | Can you blame him, Jean? 5895 Could it happen?" |
5895 | Did I not say that Jan had waited too long? |
5895 | Did she send you? |
5895 | Do I? |
5895 | Do n''t you understand? 5895 Do you know that you are beautiful?" |
5895 | Do you mean that, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Do you play much?" |
5895 | Do you suppose she would begin in French? |
5895 | Do you think I was? |
5895 | Do you think so, Brother Jan? |
5895 | Ees she not ceevilize? |
5895 | Even the things you played when I was a baby? |
5895 | For me alone, Iowaka? |

5895 | I see it? 5895 If one might have the oath broken, and not do it himself, what then?" |
5895 | Into the South, m''sieur? |
5895 | Is it because you are afraid that Mélisse will like him? |
5895 | Is it not beautiful, my Iowaka? |
5895 | Is n''t it a glorious morning, Jan? 5895 Is n''t that the way we have played it ever since I can remember? |
5895 | Is she not worth it? |
5895 | Is this not the glorious world, with the sun just rising off there, and spring only a few days away? 5895 It means that one will be for ever damned unless he confesses to a priest soon after, does n''t it ma chérie? |
5895 | It was a long time ago, was n''t it? |
5895 | Jan Thoreau, what if I should break my oath-- and tell Mélisse? |
5895 | Jean de Gravois wonders if Jan Thoreau understands? |
5895 | Jean, would n''t you do as I am doing? 5895 Looks like a fight, does n''t it, Jan? |
5895 | M''sieur, how far have you gone-- WITH HER? |
5895 | NOW what do you think of him, my beautiful one? |
5895 | Never, Jean? |

5895 | Now what do you think of me, brother Jan? |
5895 | Over the Nelson House trail? |
5895 | Shall I give you my best wishes, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Shall I strike a light, m''sieur?" |
5895 | She will soon be a woman, did you say, Jan Thoreau? 5895 Signify-- what?" |
5895 | Since when, Mélisse? |
5895 | Some day I will do a great deal more for you than that, Mélisse, and then--"What? |
5895 | Tell me, why? |
5895 | Tell me-- tell me--he heard Dixon pant eagerly,"did she send you to hunt for me, Thoreau?" |
5895 | That I love him? |
5895 | That is what my people believe, Jean; and if I have given my soul to you, why should I not break oath for you? |
5895 | That was your sledge-- out there? |
5895 | The officers of the great company are at Winnipeg, and Le Commissionaire, are they not, m''sieur? |
5895 | Then you would have taken up with some foreigner if I had remained in the Athabasca country another year or two? |
5895 | They are all beautiful over there? |
5895 | To- day is your birthday, Jan-- yours and mine, mine and yours-- and we will always have it that way-- always-- won''t we, Jan? |
5895 | Was it not right for me to break my oath to the Blessed Virgin and tell Mélisse why Jan Thoreau had gone mad? 5895 Was n''t that the night we heard the wolves howling behind us?" |
5895 | What are you fighting about, Gravois? 5895 What are you going to do to- day, Jan?" |
5895 | What camps, m''sieur? |
5895 | What did you mean, Jan Thoreau, by running away from me like that? |
5895 | What if Iowaka had been here then? |
5895 | What if the birds tell him what happened out there on the trail? |
5895 | What is it? |
5895 | What is this? |
5895 | What? |
5895 | When Mélisse is a little older, should we not go with her into the South? |
5895 | Where are you going-- from here? |
5895 | Which will it be? 5895 Who are they?" |
5895 | Why are you going away the day after to- morrow-- two weeks before the others? 5895 Why have you been crying?" |
5895 | Why? |
5895 | Will you care for the dogs, Henri? |
5895 | Will you have breakfast with me? |
5895 | Will you stay with the little Mélisse and me? |
5895 | Will you take me with you? |
5895 | Will you take me? |
5895 | Will you wait a moment? |
5895 | Wo n''t you play for me, Jan? |
5895 | You come from Churchill? |
5895 | You did not see it? |
5895 | You have been there? |
5895 | You have never been down before? |
5895 | You hear the music in the skies-- now, my Mélisse? |
5895 | You saw it? |
5895 | You swear it? |
5895 | You were glad that I pummeled the stranger, then? |
5895 | You will come to supper, Jan? |
5895 | You will never tell what you read in the papers? |
5895 | You would n''t run as fast for me now, would you? |
5895 | Ah, would he ever forget that look? |
5895 | And NOW do you understand why I did not tell Mélisse of this letter, ma chérie? |
5895 | And after that-- after he had done this thing, what would there remain in life for Jan Thoreau? |
5895 | And besides, do you not suppose that Jan would like to see ME?" |
5895 | And did I not follow the trail that staggered down the mountain, while Iowaka brought you back to life? |
5895 | And did n''t she HATE the Englishman all of the time? |
5895 | And did not Mélisse do as I told that fool of a Jan that she WOULD do? |
5895 | And did you ever see hair that shines so, like the top- feathers of a raven who''s nibbling at himself in the hottest bit of sunshine he can find? |
5895 | And if she is not a woman at thirty, with two children-- God send others like them!--when will she be, I ask you?" |
5895 | And if there is no priest nearer than four hundred miles, it is a dangerous thing to do, is it not? |
5895 | And what will you do when I get to be a woman, Jan-- which will be very soon, you say?" |
5895 | And when I came to it, was it not the dead body of the missioner from Churchill? |
5895 | And when I came to the lake, did I not see something black out upon it, like a charred log? |
5895 | Before he could answer she added mischievously:"Did you see any fairies at Churchill or York Factory?" |
5895 | Blessed saints, man, but is she not growing more beautiful every day?" |
5895 | Can you not speak, my raven- haired angel?" |
5895 | Did n''t you come from there, or there, or there?" |
5895 | Did you ever see a figure like that, Jan Thoreau? |
5895 | Did you know that he was going to Nelson House?" |
5895 | Do brothers love their sisters less as they grow older?" |
5895 | Do you mean to give the knife- challenge to one who has staked his life for you and who loves you as a brother?" |
5895 | Do you not believe that about the sins of the fathers falling upon others? |
5895 | Do you remember when you last cut my hair?" |
5895 | Do you suppose we''ll ever go to Churchill together, Jan, and ride on a wonderful ship like that?" |
5895 | Do you understand, boy? |
5895 | Do you understand, m''sieur? |
5895 | Do you wish me to take back what I gave to you then?" |
5895 | Does any one know but you and me?" |
5895 | Does it signify?" |
5895 | Eh, Jan Thoreau?" |
5895 | Eh? |
5895 | Faintly she said:"I''ve kept your dinner for you, Jan. Why did n''t you come sooner?" |
5895 | God in Heaven, can you not guess what happened, m''sieur? |
5895 | Good God, do n''t you understand?" |
5895 | Has he told you more?" |
5895 | He straightened like a spring and turned, to Jan."Did you meet the strange team?" |
5895 | How long did you travel before you made this camp?" |
5895 | I say, what better could there be than that?" |
5895 | I wonder what bad spirit has come into my Jean?" |
5895 | If there is anything Jean de Gravois can do?" |
5895 | If you don''t--""Why?" |
5895 | Is it a crime up here to kiss a pretty girl?" |
5895 | Is it larger than the city that is called Winnipeg?" |
5895 | Is n''t that fair?" |
5895 | Is n''t there room for two?" |
5895 | It was silly, was n''t it?" |
5895 | Jan Thoreau is no-- what you call heem?" |
5895 | Jan, have you seen my new lynx- skin cap?" |
5895 | M''sieur, am I right? |
5895 | Mon Dieu, what can a man do to make himself great in the eyes of his wife?" |
5895 | SOMETHING sent you-- SOMETHING-- don''t you understand? |
5895 | Shall I open the door so that we can hear it better?" |
5895 | Shall we hurry back, Mélisse, and see if he has brought our books and violin- strings?" |
5895 | Should he warn Jean de Gravois that a company officer was investigating the disappearance of the missionary? |
5895 | Sloughing in the trail, bleeding at every foot, would they still drag their burden beyond the reach of his vengeance? |
5895 | The one with golden hair?" |
5895 | The stranger sat down in the chair next to Jan."From the camps?" |
5895 | Under his breath he whispered, as he made pretense of looking at Jan''s hand:"Le diable, do you want to tell HIM?" |
5895 | Was it not right, I say? |
5895 | Was it the blessed angels coming for his Mélisse? |
5895 | Was n''t that strange?" |
5895 | Was that an echo he heard? |
5895 | What better than that, eh? |
5895 | What do you say to going back with me, Jan?" |
5895 | What do you say, Mélisse?" |
5895 | What do you think of your Jean de Gravois and his country now?" |
5895 | Whom have you out from Lac Bain?" |
5895 | Why ca n''t you forget?" |
5895 | Why could not he go to school for Mélisse, and store up treasures which in time he might turn over to her? |
5895 | Why did n''t you sleep until breakfast was ready?" |
5895 | Why is it, do you suppose?" |
5895 | Will it be right?" |
5895 | Will you come?" |
5895 | Will you help me with this?" |
5895 | Will you take the bag, or will you never again come back to Lac Bain?" |
5895 | Would n''t you have done as much for Iowaka?" |
5895 | Would the dogs beat him out? |
5895 | Would you do that much again?" |
5895 | You are sure that you would break oath for none but me?" |
5895 | You have been here-- all night?" |
5895 | You make the best coffee in the world, Mélisse?" |
5895 | You remember?" |
5895 | You saw-- Cummins-- the factor?" |
5895 | cried Jan."Mon Dieu, m''sieur-- does she not love you?" |
29686 | ''Then what shall the Dacotahs do?'' 29686 Afraid?" |
29686 | And what do you imagine? |
29686 | And when we say we will not do a thing, you know that we will keep our promise? |
29686 | Are you all right? |
29686 | Are you not coming with us? |
29686 | Asleep? 29686 But how do you know that you are obeying the totem?" |
29686 | But suppose they come back in our absence? |
29686 | But suppose we come upon a camp of half- breeds, as you suggested? 29686 But what of the others-- your father and mine?" |
29686 | By that you mean that you want to come into the teepee? |
29686 | Can the pale- face look upon it without fear? 29686 Can you hold out for a bit longer? |
29686 | Can you not smell it? |
29686 | Captives? |
29686 | Did not Thunder- maker say that these evil spirits have tongues of magic? 29686 Did not the spirit of Thunder- maker speak true? |
29686 | Did you find out anything while you were away with Haggis? |
29686 | Did you hear that, Haggis? |
29686 | Did you hear that--''hungry and tired''? |
29686 | Do n''t you think it would be well if we were to shoot something? |
29686 | Do the pale- faces come to insult the great chief of Dacotahs and say that the fiery totem lie? 29686 Do you think that Skipper Mackintosh is going to allow twa laddies like you to go wandering aboot the backwoods when he can guide you? |
29686 | Do you think that we are going to allow our own people to suffer at the service of a lie? 29686 Does the Red Fox insult the sacred totem of the Dacotahs?" |
29686 | Does the cut pain you much? |
29686 | From our fathers? |
29686 | Haggis hear,was the quiet reply of the native, to which the Scot retorted angrily--"You heard? |
29686 | Haggis, you''ve got your tomahawk? 29686 Have you been asleep?" |
29686 | Have you lost it? |
29686 | How does the head feel now? |
29686 | How far is it to this Pleasant Valley, as it is called? |
29686 | How would it be if I were to stay here, in case he comes this way? |
29686 | How would it be if we were to lay him in that little hollow and cover him with big stones? |
29686 | I wonder if they have missed their way? |
29686 | I wonder what he means by that? |
29686 | I wonder what it can be? 29686 I wonder where they have come from and why they have congregated in this particular tent?" |
29686 | If? 29686 Is it a success?" |
29686 | Is it-- dangerous? |
29686 | Is not Thunder- maker great medicine himself? 29686 Is this how the Dacotahs treat the stranger in their tents?" |
29686 | It can not be so, lest you return to the waters from whence you came----"Oh, that''s it, is it? |
29686 | It hardly seems probable that---- What''s that?--Over there in the centre? |
29686 | It would gladden the eyes of the pale- faces to see their papooses by another sun? |
29686 | Letter? |
29686 | Lost-- tired-- hungry? |
29686 | Lost? 29686 Matter?" |
29686 | Mean? |
29686 | Mighty Hand send Thunder- maker? |
29686 | My white brothers have papooses, they say to Mighty Hand? |
29686 | My white brothers in the tent of Thunder- maker? 29686 Of course they will be able to find their way back to Edmonton, when they see that there is no hope of our returning----""_ No_ hope?" |
29686 | Oh, he would, would he? |
29686 | Oh, that''s it, is it? 29686 Perhaps they are with other Indians?" |
29686 | See? 29686 Shall it be that the fiery serpent hear laughing tongues while the hands of the Dacotahs are idle? |
29686 | Shall it be, brothers, that the great medicine of the Dacotahs die before arrows of the evil spirits? |
29686 | Sheep? 29686 That is what you wish us to understand, is n''t it, Thunder- maker?" |
29686 | The Red Fox will blind the trail, that the white boys never follow? 29686 The papooses will never again see their fathers?" |
29686 | Then the-- the fiery totem-- foolish? |
29686 | Then what''s to be done? |
29686 | Then why have you come to us to- night? |
29686 | Thunder- maker could save-- white brothers-- from fire? |
29686 | Well, where have you come from? |
29686 | Were you sent to us by Mighty Hand? |
29686 | What about wolves? |
29686 | What do they think we are? 29686 What do you mean?" |
29686 | What do you take me for-- a savage? |
29686 | What do you think we ought to do? |
29686 | What is it? 29686 What is it?" |
29686 | What is this, brothers? |
29686 | What is to be done now? |
29686 | What next, I wonder? |
29686 | What on earth are we to do? |
29686 | What on earth can be the meaning of this? |
29686 | What on earth is it? |
29686 | What on earth is it? |
29686 | What''ll happen? 29686 What''s the matter?" |
29686 | What''s the matter? |
29686 | What''s to be done? 29686 What''s to be done?" |
29686 | What''s to be done? |
29686 | Where are they? 29686 Where in the world have you two laddies been?" |
29686 | Where? |
29686 | Which of you two laddies is the one that''s danced down the hillside? |
29686 | Which? 29686 Who are you, redmen? |
29686 | Who''s this? |
29686 | Why have you told us of this, Thunder- maker? |
29686 | Why, what''s the matter, old man? |
29686 | Yes-- the white man send paper by hand of Red Fox, but-- but Red Fox foolish; he-- lose letter-- on trail----"But you are_ sure_ you had one? 29686 You feel better now, do n''t you?" |
29686 | You mean to come with us? |
29686 | You said that you had come a long trail? |
29686 | You think it possible that the canoe_ might_ pass the gully unharmed? |
29686 | You want us to buy our lives for money? 29686 You wonder?" |
29686 | You''ll wake me as soon as the two hours are up? |
29686 | You''re no''feared to take a bit o''risk for your friend''s sake? |
29686 | [ 2]But what has all this got to do with us?" |
29686 | A pair o''laddies?" |
29686 | And if not, why did you behave in such a double way? |
29686 | And what for shall Skipper Mackintosh be afraid? |
29686 | And when Skipper fails, is there no''the Haggis and Bannock-- a pair o''the finest scouts and trackers that ever set foot in bush or prairie? |
29686 | And yet, one meenit after, I see you standing there like a daft gowk instead o''hustling for food as fast as your legs can move you? |
29686 | Are you all right? |
29686 | Are you dogs, to be beaten to obey the first loud voices? |
29686 | Beetle? |
29686 | But Holden did not respond to the greeting, as he demanded--"Does Thunder- maker think that we are fools? |
29686 | But before another sun they-- they die----""Die?" |
29686 | But did you not say that they were at the Dacotah village?" |
29686 | But did you notice how that old warrior examined the knots himself? |
29686 | But how can we speak in bonds? |
29686 | But how long would their moment be delayed? |
29686 | But how to draw the boy from the slough? |
29686 | But if your people think us spirits, why do they keep us here? |
29686 | But meantime-- the boys-- I wonder what they are doing now?" |
29686 | But once there, what would be the result? |
29686 | But what else could he do? |
29686 | But----""Well-- but?" |
29686 | By whom? |
29686 | CHAPTER IV FRIENDS OR FOES? |
29686 | Ca n''t we, Alf?" |
29686 | Ca n''t you see that Bob is lying hurt?" |
29686 | Can brave white boy forgive poor Indian?" |
29686 | Can they not feel the poison- tooth break the covering of their flesh?" |
29686 | Can you do this?" |
29686 | Can you get a coat under your arms if I send it to you?" |
29686 | Can you hear me?" |
29686 | Coming towards us?" |
29686 | Could it be that they had come too late? |
29686 | Could it be that, after all, Mackintosh had been mistaken, or that Red Fox had deluded them? |
29686 | Did he give you one?" |
29686 | Did he not bring the thunder to prove his great medicine? |
29686 | Did he not say that no weapon could prevail against those magic words? |
29686 | Did you hear that? |
29686 | Did you no''attend to what your freend said-- that Red Fox told him that Mighty Hand would leave for Pleasant Valley by another sun? |
29686 | Do you see? |
29686 | Do you think she''s worth skinning?" |
29686 | Do you think that we could dare to live another hour if we knew that we had pretended to be sent by Him-- and so delude foolish people? |
29686 | Do you think we are wise to keep quite in the centre of the current? |
29686 | Do you think we did not hear you piping to those vile serpents of yours?" |
29686 | Do you want to sleep all your senses away?" |
29686 | Does either o''you ken anything o''this by chance?" |
29686 | FRIENDS OR FOES? |
29686 | Had the savage merely stolen him for some wild purpose-- perhaps to await a ransom? |
29686 | Has he no weapon to protect himself from magic?" |
29686 | Has he not made great medicine these many suns? |
29686 | Has he not many times driven the fever from the camp, till it fled over the prairie like a coyote driven with sticks and dogs? |
29686 | He say Red Fox face hideous?" |
29686 | How shall the redman''s eyes see right?" |
29686 | I suppose you''ve noticed the lights as well as we?" |
29686 | I suppose, noo, that I''m no''just dreaming? |
29686 | I''m beginning to think something has happened----""An accident?" |
29686 | If there''s nothing to shoot, a fellow ca n''t get much of a bag, can he?" |
29686 | Is this how the redman treats the stranger who would smoke the peace- pipe by our fire? |
29686 | Is this the way the Dacotahs treat their white brothers when they seek the friendship of your shores?" |
29686 | Is this the welcome that my braves give to those whom Mighty Hand has received with a smile-- with no arms in his hand, no tomahawk at his belt? |
29686 | Laddie, laddie, are you forgetting that there''s a Hand that could guide the frailest birch- bark safely through Niagara itsel''? |
29686 | Look here-- you know that when a pale- face says he will do a thing he will surely do it?" |
29686 | Man, but I''d sooner have a sniff o''the backwoods----""Than a mouthful of bacon? |
29686 | No fire shall have their white bodies----""And if we-- refuse-- to do-- this?" |
29686 | Of course we came out from waters, but what has that to do with the moon, I wonder?" |
29686 | Or are you children of your rightful chief? |
29686 | Red Fox come over prairie-- bush-- far-- far----""Oh, you understand English?" |
29686 | Shall the howling wolf put fear into your hearts, to drag down a prey that he dares not attack alone? |
29686 | Spirits?" |
29686 | Strange, was n''t it?" |
29686 | Surely such a prodigy had never been seen before? |
29686 | That''s what you are driving at, you cunning old serpent?" |
29686 | The boys started at the remark, while Alf repeated--"A story?" |
29686 | The clothes or yourself?" |
29686 | The man dared not move, for the least motion of a muscle might be sufficient to frighten the deadly little rope of flesh, and then----? |
29686 | The old man paused, and Arnold jerked in--"Then why on earth raise them? |
29686 | The soond o''Haggis''s nightingale voice?" |
29686 | The speaker was all bustle and hurry now, and as the boys followed to render assistance, Bob asked--"Pleasant Valley? |
29686 | Then he added merrily:"But are you sure that you can stand it? |
29686 | Then he remarked quaintly:"This is like old times, is n''t it-- you and I out in a scrape together? |
29686 | Then you mean to go there direct?" |
29686 | They bury the hatchet and-- my white brother will stay with Red Fox while he go Happy Hunting- ground?" |
29686 | They were that answer, and the result-- who can say what the consequences would be when falsehood and superstition had a savage people at command? |
29686 | Too soon? |
29686 | We did not bid you truss us up with these rawhide thongs?" |
29686 | We know that--''out of silver waters''--but is anything said about bonds?" |
29686 | Well, how much do you wish?" |
29686 | What about the antelope?" |
29686 | What can that have to do with us?" |
29686 | What could it be that had such a power to fascinate the whole tribe? |
29686 | What do you see?" |
29686 | What do you take me for, I''d just like to know?" |
29686 | What do you take me for-- a coleopterist? |
29686 | What does he mean by''out from the silver waters''? |
29686 | What had happened to his chum? |
29686 | What has kept them from returning to camp?" |
29686 | What is the use of lying to us? |
29686 | What was it? |
29686 | What would you and I have done if two of our chums had disappeared from camp as we did?" |
29686 | What''s that?" |
29686 | Where did you find it?" |
29686 | Where is he?" |
29686 | Where? |
29686 | White dog laugh at Red Fox? |
29686 | Who is chief of the Dacotahs-- Thunder- maker or Mighty Hand?" |
29686 | Who thinks o''bacon and coffee on a morning like this? |
29686 | Who would have believed that these three short months would have changed a fever- wasted body into such a sturdy frame?" |
29686 | Who''s this?" |
29686 | Why is the white boy so good?" |
29686 | Why not let us return?" |
29686 | Why? |
29686 | Will you braves suffer this insult to the wearer of the fiery totem?" |
29686 | You do n''t think that Englishmen would leave a fellow to bleed to death, do you?" |
29686 | You wo n''t go far from camp before we return, will you?" |
29686 | You''ll not mind being left alone for a time? |
29686 | You''re no''by chance just twa o''them muckle moths that''s come into my dream in a make- believe?" |
29686 | Your faithers went doon the Athabasca, you said?" |
29686 | _ Who_ are they that dare to revile our sacred sign with mocking eyes and tongues?" |
29686 | but have you no''ears for the birds, nor nostrils for the scents of Nature? |
29686 | decided Alf, to which Bob returned, with a sly dig at his chum''s ribs--"''Horns?'' |
29686 | laughed Bob, to which the naturalist replied with scorn, as he indicated the lads to take the opposite end of the tent to roll--"Beetle? |
29686 | questioned Arnold slowly and seriously, and his companion added:"Yes, if we refuse-- what then?" |
6282 | Ah, is it not always so? |
6282 | Am I a fool? 6282 And Tripple?" |
6282 | And room also? |
6282 | And the vote let you be a town- councillor? |
6282 | And then-- after that? 6282 And what did you say?" |
6282 | And what is it you want to buy from me? |
6282 | And what was she worth? |
6282 | And you late ones? |
6282 | Any telegrams for me? |
6282 | Are you a musician by trade? |
6282 | Blown up with what? |
6282 | Can the Monseigneur cast a spell over them all? |
6282 | Could you do without the Sarasate? |
6282 | Did they say what hour? |
6282 | Do you want to save his life? |
6282 | Eh, well, what is he after? |
6282 | Had you the same love of conscience and truth at Radley? |
6282 | Has this man come here against your will? |
6282 | Have I succeeded? |
6282 | Have they been opened? |
6282 | Have you got a minute to spare, kind sir? |
6282 | Have you got it again out here-- your own? |
6282 | He is dead? |
6282 | Heads I win, tails it''s yours? |
6282 | Here in Lebanon? |
6282 | His nose-- how? |
6282 | How are you feeling, old man? |
6282 | How do I know what was in my mind? 6282 How do you know we are rich?" |
6282 | How is he? |
6282 | How much? |
6282 | How? |
6282 | How? |
6282 | I got drunk-- oh, yes, of course, blind drunk, did n''t I? 6282 I know there was catastrophe, the tumblings of avalanches, but the voice that cried- the soul of a lover, was it?" |
6282 | If he was your son? |
6282 | In Lebanon? |
6282 | In a horse- trade? |
6282 | In what way? |
6282 | Is it quiet in both towns? |
6282 | Is it that those who beat you have to get up early? |
6282 | Is there harm in that? 6282 Is there no work here for her?" |
6282 | Is-- is he dead? |
6282 | It does n''t look like war, does it? |
6282 | It does n''t matter about the head bandages, but the eyes-- can''t I slough the wraps to- morrow? 6282 It is good enough for you-- almost, eh?" |
6282 | It went? |
6282 | It''s announced? |
6282 | Long enough to hear you play it, Mr.--what is your name, may I ask? |
6282 | May I speak with you? |
6282 | My corner lot against double the shares? |
6282 | No, I ca n''t pay you anything, that''s clear,he said;"but to get your own-- I''ve got some influence out here-- what can I do? |
6282 | Oh, that''s one of your questions, is it? |
6282 | Rockwell,Ingolby suddenly asked,"is there any chance of my discarding this and getting out to- morrow?" |
6282 | She did not tell you she was made my wife those years ago? 6282 Suppose Ingolby is n''t there?" |
6282 | Taught him his A- B- C- was his dear, kind teacher, eh? |
6282 | That''s the thing that did it, but where''s the man behind the thing? |
6282 | That''s what''s the matter with me, then? |
6282 | That''s your view, is it, Barbazon? |
6282 | The Monseigneur Lourde? 6282 The gun- shots-- what?" |
6282 | The sword of the Spirit--"Oh, you want the sword, do you? 6282 Then you got a vote on it?" |
6282 | There''ll be what? |
6282 | To play the Sarasate alone to you? |
6282 | Was ever a tent too full, when the lost traveller stumbled into camp in the old days? |
6282 | Was it good or bad? |
6282 | Was it your first town lot? |
6282 | Well, we need n''t lose any time, but will you have a drink and a smoke first? |
6282 | Well, what do you think of him? |
6282 | Well? |
6282 | What am I? |
6282 | What brought you to the West? |
6282 | What danger did you come to warn M. Marchand about? |
6282 | What did the single cry-- the motif-- express? |
6282 | What did you mean when you said that Ingolby''s eyes would not feed upon me? |
6282 | What do you want? |
6282 | What do you wish? |
6282 | What else? |
6282 | What for? |
6282 | What good would it do if they got ten years-- or one year, if the bridge was blown up? 6282 What happened to the watch?" |
6282 | What has happened? |
6282 | What have I done? |
6282 | What have you seen? |
6282 | What is it? 6282 What is the rest I know so well?" |
6282 | What time is it, Jim? |
6282 | What was the danger? |
6282 | What was the mare worth? |
6282 | What''d buy Felix Marchand? |
6282 | What''s he after? 6282 What''s he going to say?" |
6282 | What''s his price? |
6282 | What''s the lot worth now? |
6282 | What''s your opinion, boss? |
6282 | What''ve you got to say about it, son? |
6282 | What''ve you got to say about it? 6282 When did you learn it?" |
6282 | When do you go over to Manitou again to cut old Hector Marchand''s hair? 6282 When was it they said the strike would begin?" |
6282 | Where did you think of going from here? |
6282 | Where have you come from? |
6282 | Where is he? |
6282 | Where would they get it? |
6282 | Who are they? |
6282 | Who are you to tell me I must go? |
6282 | Who commits my crimes for me? |
6282 | Who said it? 6282 Who struck him down?" |
6282 | Who will kill him? |
6282 | Who''s for Lebanon? |
6282 | Who''s for giving Lebanon hell, and ducking Ingolby in the river? |
6282 | Who''s he? |
6282 | Who''s the Master of the Lodge? |
6282 | Why ca n''t he see himself through? |
6282 | Why did n''t I know that? |
6282 | Why do n''t you go, as I tell you, Jim? |
6282 | Why? 6282 Will a wife betray her husband?" |
6282 | Will my eyes have to be kept bandaged long? 6282 Will you toss for it?" |
6282 | Yes, but what was the matter with her? |
6282 | Yes, there was a big house in Montreal? |
6282 | Yeth-''ir? |
6282 | You are going to him? |
6282 | You believe in God Almighty? |
6282 | You did not know? |
6282 | You have it here-- at your house here? |
6282 | You have shown what power you have-- isn''t that enough? |
6282 | You know the Romany lingo? |
6282 | You mean you''re going to deny it in the papers? |
6282 | You said you had come here to get your own-- is your home here? |
6282 | You see I treated you fairly, and that you''ve been a fool? |
6282 | You speak French much? |
6282 | You understand about God? |
6282 | You want me to know what it''s for? |
6282 | You wanted to pay me respect, eh? |
6282 | You will go back to Dennis? |
6282 | You would n''t? |
6282 | You''re sure it''s according to Hoyle? |
6282 | You? 6282 ''But why have the Orange funeral while things are as they are?'' 6282 After that, what? |
6282 | And the something else-- what? |
6282 | Are you satisfied?" |
6282 | Are you sure you got it right?" |
6282 | Berry, however, said to the still absorbed musician:"Where did you learn to play?" |
6282 | But had Jethro told all? |
6282 | But if you go to Manitou to- night, how can you have that fiddler?" |
6282 | But no-- what was there strange in the man being a Romany and playing the fiddle? |
6282 | CHAPTER XV THE WOMAN FROM WIND RIVER"What is it?" |
6282 | Ca n''t you see, my friends, what I''m driving at? |
6282 | Did he refer to money, or-- was it Fleda Druse? |
6282 | Did not the world know that he had saved her life? |
6282 | Did you ever get close to him and try to figure what he was driving at? |
6282 | Did you ever give that Ingolby a chance to tell you what his plans were? |
6282 | Did you think I''d put it in a museum? |
6282 | Do you not see? |
6282 | Do you think such tomfoolery has any effect in this civilized country? |
6282 | Do you think you could make a deal with Felix Marchand? |
6282 | Does he preach as well as that?" |
6282 | Eh?" |
6282 | Had it anything to do with Gabriel Druse and his daughter? |
6282 | Had she not her own trouble to face? |
6282 | Had these disguises to do with Fleda-- with his Romany lass? |
6282 | Have you got one?" |
6282 | He had noticed the old man straighten himself with a spring and stand as though petrified when Ingolby said:"Why do n''t you turn on the light?" |
6282 | He might speak once, he might speak twice, he might speak thrice, but would it ever be the same as the look that needed no words? |
6282 | How much did you pay for her?" |
6282 | How was it that men did not use their chances? |
6282 | How was it that more throats were not cut in that way? |
6282 | How would you like to try it?" |
6282 | I belong-- bagosh, what do you want to ask? |
6282 | I did n''t, did I? |
6282 | In the pause Ingolby said to Jethro Fawe,"Play something, wo n''t you? |
6282 | Ingolby said to him,"Jim, what the devil is this-- finger- bowls in my private car? |
6282 | Is it Gipsy music?" |
6282 | Is n''t he good for all day, this one?" |
6282 | Is n''t it a beauty, Jethro Fawe?" |
6282 | Is that what M''sieu''Marchand told you? |
6282 | Is the pain in the head less?" |
6282 | It flashed into her mind-- what would Max Ingolby think of such a thing? |
6282 | May we use your back parlour?" |
6282 | Or was he a tool of Felix Marchand? |
6282 | Shall I have to give up work for any length of time?" |
6282 | Shall I see the Master of the Orange Lodge or the Chief Constable for you?" |
6282 | She did not tell you she was the daughter of the Romany King? |
6282 | She was beautiful and-- well, who could tell? |
6282 | So this was the way the swaggering, masterful Gorgio lived? |
6282 | Soon?" |
6282 | Suppose they took it into their heads to wreck the place?" |
6282 | That being so, should my own man turn his head away from me day or night? |
6282 | That''s what he said, is it?" |
6282 | There was no child to keep you, and the man that tempted you said he adored you?" |
6282 | There was silence for a moment in which they moved slowly forward, and then she said:"You were at Barbazon''s last night?" |
6282 | There''s a bell on the table, is n''t there?" |
6282 | There''s a snake in the bed of Manitou-- what are you going to do with it?" |
6282 | They make us learn English, and--""If you do n''t like the flag and the country, why do n''t you leave it?" |
6282 | This girl would never be his in the way that the others had been, but-- who could tell?--perhaps he would think enough of her to marry her? |
6282 | To blow up the bridge-- for what? |
6282 | Want the clothes, too?" |
6282 | Was he to wear them? |
6282 | Was it some temperamental thing in him? |
6282 | Was it the embodied second self of Jethro Fawe, doing the evil that Jethro Fawe, the visible corporeal man, wished to do? |
6282 | Was it through his fiddling that he was going to find a way to deal with this Gorgio, who had come between him and his own? |
6282 | Was not humanity alone sufficient warrant for staying by his side? |
6282 | Was that not what he wanted-- that you should leave him?" |
6282 | Was the man a Romany, and, if so, what was he doing here? |
6282 | We''d like to hear him play-- wouldn''t we, Berry?" |
6282 | Well, is n''t it worth while making the bargain? |
6282 | Were these disguises for the Master Gorgio? |
6282 | What could she do to prevent his ruin? |
6282 | What did the fellow mean? |
6282 | What do you want at the end of it all? |
6282 | What do you want to say to me?" |
6282 | What does he say?" |
6282 | What is it?" |
6282 | What was it? |
6282 | What were they for? |
6282 | What woman could have designs upon a blind man? |
6282 | Where is the Romany''s home? |
6282 | Who can tell? |
6282 | Who was there at one with him in all his deep designs, in all he had done and meant to do? |
6282 | Who was there that loved him? |
6282 | Who would have hinted at shame, if she had taken him to her father''s tan or gone to his tan and tended him as a man might tend a man? |
6282 | Who''s going to stand it? |
6282 | Who''s the cause? |
6282 | Why Arabic-- why''kowadji''?" |
6282 | Why should the world babble? |
6282 | Why was it that now she could never think of the lost and abandoned Romany life without thinking also of Jethro Fawe? |
6282 | Will you come?" |
6282 | Will you see to it, Rockwell?" |
6282 | Would he need it, robbed of sight and with his life- work murdered? |
6282 | Yet had she not the right of common humanity? |
6282 | Yet what had she to do with it, after all? |
6282 | Yet would he wish it? |
6282 | You gabble of conscience and truth, but is n''t it a new passion with you-- conscience and truth?" |
6282 | You have money and brains; why not use them to become a leader of those who will win at last, no matter what the game may be?" |
6282 | You have the gift of getting hold of the worst men here, and you have done it; but wo n''t you now master them again in the other way? |
6282 | You think there''s something else that''ll be good for me? |
6282 | You understand, Jim?" |
6282 | You understand? |
6282 | You want the sword, eh?" |
6282 | You''ll keep me posted as to anything important?" |
6282 | You''ll not forget the wig-- you''ll bring it round yourself?" |
6282 | Your home and country''s a good way from here, eh?" |
4702 | About-- Black Roger? |
4702 | Am I not right, M''sieu Carrigan? 4702 An''you promise give me zat fight, w''en you are strong?" |
4702 | And Carmin Fanchet? |
4702 | And Marie- Anne? |
4702 | And YOU, until the last-- did you not fight to have her put behind prison bars with her brother? |
4702 | And YOU? |
4702 | And he told you it is determined that I shall fight Bateese in the morning? |
4702 | And one who tries to kill-- who almost succeeds-- what is the penalty for that? |
4702 | And the other two? |
4702 | And why-- why should she insist in a matter such as this, which properly should be settled among men? |
4702 | And you are disappointed, St. Pierre? 4702 And you are willing to wager the point, M''sieu David?" |
4702 | And you insist, M''sieu David? |
4702 | And you will forgive me for-- for saying such beastly things to you? |
4702 | And you will help me up? |
4702 | And you''ll take me with you? |
4702 | And you? |
4702 | And-- Golden-- Hair? |
4702 | Because I talked about this woman, Carmin Fanchet? |
4702 | But after I have told you-- what then? 4702 But ze head, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Did I-- hurt you? |
4702 | Did he tell you about it? |
4702 | Did n''t Bateese explain to you last night? |
4702 | Did n''t Bateese tell you that? |
4702 | Did you not expect me to return and apologize for leaving you so suddenly this afternoon? 4702 Do I mak''ze word plain so m''sieu compren''?" |
4702 | Do n''t you realize what has happened? 4702 Do you care? |
4702 | Do you mind telling me who you are, and where we are going? |
4702 | Do you see that, Concombre Bateese? |
4702 | Does ze little partridge rooster keep his claws warm in those in ze winter? 4702 For God''s sake, Audemard-- tell me--""I, m''sieu? |
4702 | For your husband? |
4702 | Has she not the sweetest voice in the world, m''sieu? 4702 Have you seen Bateese this morning?" |
4702 | Her camp? |
4702 | Home--? |
4702 | How are you, David? |
4702 | I ask you,said he,"if you would really stake your life in a matter such as that? |
4702 | I do n''t mind telling you it is going to be difficult for me to do that-- because-- well, this is a most unusual situation, is n''t it? 4702 I say, is there another woman like her in the world, m''sieu?" |
4702 | I was thinking, Bateese-- what will happen to me if you get me in those arms when we fight? 4702 I wonder,"she said in a low voice,"what Roger Audemard''s own story might be if he were here to tell it?" |
4702 | I? 4702 Is he an old man?" |
4702 | Is it true that St. Pierre can not whip you, Bateese? |
4702 | Is it true that you have given your word to fight Bateese? |
4702 | Is that why you have given your men orders to kill me if I try to escape? |
4702 | It does n''t hurt so much now, does it? |
4702 | It would n''t be fair to tell you, would it? |
4702 | Joe, what do you say-- shall you and I return and put up a REAL fight for them? |
4702 | May I? |
4702 | PAR LES MILLE CORNES DU DIABLE, you t''ink Bateese lie, m''sieu? 4702 Shall we be waiting long?" |
4702 | She is your wife, Audemard, is it possible you do n''t love her? |
4702 | She says that I am to make no effort to leave this bateau-- that I am to be killed if I try to escape? 4702 Somet''ing ver''funny once more, is eet-- w''at?" |
4702 | St. Pierre prefers these-- on occasions,she said,"Do you?" |
4702 | St. Pierre say no man make beeg noise at-- what you call heem-- funeral? 4702 St. Pierre, do you lie? |
4702 | Tell me, did she not fight? |
4702 | Then I am a prisoner? 4702 Then-- you judged her without absolute knowledge of fact? |
4702 | This-- this Roger Audemard-- if you catch him-- what will you do with him? |
4702 | W''at you say, m''sieu? |
4702 | We have moved from the tar- sands? |
4702 | Well, what did you think of it, comrade? |
4702 | What have you done to Marie- Anne-- your wife? |
4702 | What!--You dare talk lak that to Concombre Bateese, w''at is great''st fightin''man on all T''ree River? 4702 When will this man St. Pierre come to see me?" |
4702 | Who is the other? |
4702 | Why are they not camping over here with us? |
4702 | Why do you say''almost''? |
4702 | Why is it impossible? |
4702 | Why is it that you sit in darkness? |
4702 | Why no light over there in the corner, and why sing that death- song to chase away the devil when there is no devil near? |
4702 | Why not En Roulant ma Boule, my sweet Jeanne? 4702 Why not come out squarely, honestly, like men? |
4702 | Why play like little children, M''sieu Carrigan? |
4702 | Why''madame,''when I have given you permission to call me''Marie- Anne''? |
4702 | Will you bring me my pack and clothes in the morning? 4702 Will you eat-- now?" |
4702 | With these? |
4702 | Yes? |
4702 | You are not hurt-- badly? |
4702 | You are surprised? 4702 You believe you are going to hang me?" |
4702 | You had an idea, M''sieu David? |
4702 | You have not gone to bed, m''sieu? |
4702 | You lak ze fight, m''sieu? |
4702 | You love all that, m''sieu? |
4702 | You made them? |
4702 | You mak''guess, eh? |
4702 | You mean that I must make my own guess? |
4702 | You mean? |
4702 | You see somet''ing ver''fonny, m''sieu? |
4702 | You understand, David? 4702 You would do that?" |
4702 | You would stake your life? |
4702 | An''you will w''ip heem, eh, m''sieu? |
4702 | And I am wondering-- after they do happen-- if you will care so very much?" |
4702 | And I''m going to ask you, M''sieu David, will you play square with me? |
4702 | And St. Pierre? |
4702 | And always, day and night, he is asking that same question,''Has any one seen Black Roger Audemard?'' |
4702 | And as for a wager--""Yes-- what have you to wager?" |
4702 | And for the first time he asked himself another question, Where was the man, St. Pierre? |
4702 | And had Marie- Anne done that? |
4702 | And he heard again the mad monotone of Andre''s voice, crying plaintively,"HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?" |
4702 | And if that was conceivable, what had they done with Marie- Anne? |
4702 | And in his head a voice seemed to cry out to him,"What did Carmin Fanchet ever do to you?" |
4702 | And my men? |
4702 | And on top of that disgrace-- you insist that I pay the wager?" |
4702 | And she did n''t wait to bandage ME up, did she?" |
4702 | And the next?" |
4702 | And then,"Will you light the lamps, M''sieu David?" |
4702 | And tonight-- now-- was she with St. Pierre, waiting as they had waited last night for the rising of the moon? |
4702 | And what did you know about Black Roger Audemard?" |
4702 | And where was Marie- Anne? |
4702 | And you-- in my place-- what would YOU do, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Are you a little glad, Marie- Anne?" |
4702 | Are you coming with me to the proue, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Are you sure she said that?" |
4702 | Are you through questioning me, M''sieu David? |
4702 | But I blame no one, except--""Carmin Fanchet?" |
4702 | But did she know more than that? |
4702 | But what was his own struggle compared with this tragedy which St. Pierre was now facing? |
4702 | But why ask you questions if you wo n''t answer them?" |
4702 | But why that senseless play of falsehood? |
4702 | But why the deuce had n''t she brought up his pack? |
4702 | But why, when she saw his eyes open a little later, had she cried out her gratitude to God? |
4702 | But-- tell me!--Could you see? |
4702 | COULD she forget? |
4702 | Can you guess why? |
4702 | Can you suggest a better way-- between men like you and me?" |
4702 | Did I promise I would not kill you and sink your body to the bottom of the river? |
4702 | Did I say I would let you go? |
4702 | Did she feel that shame as he was feeling it? |
4702 | Did she think he was a scoundrel? |
4702 | Did you ever hear a sweeter or as sweet? |
4702 | Did you ever hear a sweeter voice?" |
4702 | Did you hear? |
4702 | Did you sleep well, M''sieu Carrigan?" |
4702 | Do n''t you know that according to every law of God and man I should arrest you and give you over to the Law? |
4702 | Do n''t you?" |
4702 | Do you agree?" |
4702 | Do you comprehend me, m''sieu? |
4702 | Do you hold anything against her?" |
4702 | Do you recall that I gave you any other guarantee, M''sieu Carrigan? |
4702 | Do you understand, m''sieu? |
4702 | Do you?" |
4702 | Ees it zat?" |
4702 | Eh, coq de bruyere? |
4702 | Eh, shall we mak''ze bargain?" |
4702 | HAS ANY ONE SEEN BLACK ROGER AUDEMARD?" |
4702 | Had Black Roger turned a clever coup by leaving his wife there, while he came on ahead of the bateau with Carmin Fanchet? |
4702 | Had St. Pierre been making a fool of him? |
4702 | Had she been his friend, using all her influence to protect him, because her heart was sick of the environment of which she was a part? |
4702 | Had she forgotten? |
4702 | Have n''t you anything to say?" |
4702 | Have you heard of wan garcon named Joe Clamart, m''sieu? |
4702 | He was silent for a moment, then said,"I raved about a number of things when I was sick, did n''t I?" |
4702 | Hesitate? |
4702 | How do I know? |
4702 | How had Bateese turned the trick? |
4702 | How much did she know? |
4702 | If St. Pierre was Black Roger, why would he confess to that fact simply to pay a wager? |
4702 | If he had in him the desire to kill St. Pierre now, might not St. Pierre have had an equally just desire to kill him? |
4702 | If she believed it, why did she not treat him a bit more considerately? |
4702 | Is it a go?" |
4702 | Is it not possible for a big heart like mine to do that, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Is it not so, m''sieu? |
4702 | Is it not so, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Is it not so? |
4702 | Is it not so? |
4702 | Is it not so?" |
4702 | Is it not so?" |
4702 | Is it possible that you do n''t comprehend my own duty? |
4702 | Is it?" |
4702 | Is n''t that fair?" |
4702 | Is she sleepin''over there-- in the camp?" |
4702 | Is that it, Bateese?" |
4702 | Is that it? |
4702 | Is that not fair? |
4702 | Is this another bit of trickery?" |
4702 | It is not good for you: Bateese, will you tell m''sieu not to talk?" |
4702 | It was-- a joke?" |
4702 | Non? |
4702 | Or ees it zat you grow frighten because ver''soon you stan''up an''fight Concombre Bateese? |
4702 | Or had they struck aside from the trail? |
4702 | Or was it the big bateau rocking under his feet? |
4702 | Or would you rather be alone?" |
4702 | Oui? |
4702 | Pierre?" |
4702 | Pierre?" |
4702 | So what else can I do? |
4702 | Some day when St. Pierre comes, will you teach me how to use them?" |
4702 | Surely you would not break in upon their love- making?" |
4702 | Tell me if I am right? |
4702 | The fury died out of his face, but his great hands remained clenched as he said, for David alone,"That was a playful blow, m''sieu? |
4702 | Then why is it you would be my friend and Roger Audemard''s enemy? |
4702 | Then, as he bent over the sweep with his great back to David, he chuckled audibly, and said:"Would you go, m''sieu? |
4702 | WAS THIS MAN ST. PIERRE? |
4702 | WHY, m''sieu?" |
4702 | WHY?" |
4702 | Was he alone in danger? |
4702 | Was it Bateese, inspired by some sort of malformed humor? |
4702 | Was it fair or honest to destroy her simply because you thought she might be a partner in her brother''s crimes?" |
4702 | Was it possible that St. Pierre Boulain was playing a huge joke on him? |
4702 | Was my head bad?" |
4702 | Was n''t it splendid?" |
4702 | Was not that enough? |
4702 | Wat happen w''en you look t''rough ze glass up there, eh? |
4702 | Were they smiling and offering him their hands, even as they knew he was about to die? |
4702 | What I must do?" |
4702 | What are you going to do next?" |
4702 | What could be their object in wanting him to believe she was still aboard the bateau? |
4702 | What could she have done more terrible than I have done?" |
4702 | What do the Police say about Roger Audemard?" |
4702 | What had worked the sudden transformation in her? |
4702 | What is the matter?" |
4702 | What mad impulse could it be that dragged them still farther into the path of death? |
4702 | What reason could he have for letting him live at all? |
4702 | What terrible thing did she do to you, M''sieu?" |
4702 | What terrible thing did she do to you? |
4702 | What the deuce did it mean? |
4702 | What the deuce did prettiness matter in the present situation? |
4702 | What would he have done in St. Pierre''s place? |
4702 | What would this man, her husband, think and do if he knew that his wife had given up her bedroom to this stranger? |
4702 | What would you do?" |
4702 | Where had Black Roger and the Broken Man gone? |
4702 | Where is St. Pierre, and when shall we see him?" |
4702 | Who was it St. Pierre had called sweetheart? |
4702 | Who was this stranger who was pot- shotting at him with such deadly animosity from the ambush below? |
4702 | Why did your wife try to kill me behind the rock? |
4702 | Why do you hesitate?" |
4702 | Why had Marie- Anne nursed him back to life? |
4702 | Why had not Bateese killed him? |
4702 | Why had she labored to save the life she had so atrociously coveted a minute before? |
4702 | Why you no hit Concombre Bateese, m''sieu? |
4702 | Why, m''sieu?" |
4702 | Why? |
4702 | Why? |
4702 | Will you also promise not to ask me questions, which I can not answer-- until St. Pierre comes?" |
4702 | Will you forgive me-- and accept my gratitude?" |
4702 | Wo n''t you tell me why you shot me, and why that change came over you when you saw me lying there?" |
4702 | Would any other woman in the world have given her hand like that to the man who had helped to kill her brother?" |
4702 | Would she confess to him the secret of that precious moment when she had lain close against his breast, her arms about him, her face pressed to his? |
4702 | Would she reveal EVERYTHING to St. Pierre-- her husband? |
4702 | Would she tell St. Pierre of the many hours they had spent together? |
4702 | Would you care for that? |
4702 | Would you rather put out the lights and go to bed?" |
4702 | You COMPREN''? |
4702 | You hear w''at I say?" |
4702 | You judged her-- as you hinted in your fever-- because she fought so desperately to save a brother who had gone wrong?" |
4702 | You lissen? |
4702 | You listen hard w''at I say?" |
4702 | You love ma belle Jeanne-- Marie- Anne? |
4702 | You threaten me with death?" |
4702 | You understan'', m''sieu agent de police?" |
4702 | You unnerstan''?" |
27504 | A woman, are ye sure? |
27504 | Ah,said Carrington, and his voice was very sharp,"you did not consider it necessary to ask my sanction?" |
27504 | Am I never to speak to thee, lad? |
27504 | Am I, then, so little as to fear a few inquisitive women? 27504 And is there nothing to be added? |
27504 | And,said Grace, with a heightened color, and her liquid eyes shining,"is there still nothing else?" |
27504 | Any one for Elktail? 27504 Are those men badly hurt?" |
27504 | Are you a friend of the witness Lorimer? |
27504 | Are you getting up another speech, or trying to freeze there? |
27504 | Are you going, Ralph? |
27504 | Are you so old and wise already, Ralph? |
27504 | Are you speaking for yourself, or for the rest? |
27504 | Art pledged to marry Miss Carrington of all women, lad? 27504 But is there no hope in the present?--nothing that I can do?" |
27504 | But why did you let him? 27504 Ca n''t I give you a shakedown in the stable until morning?" |
27504 | Coombs? 27504 Did it ever strike you, Ralph, that the people who subscribe for statues make a bad choice of their models? |
27504 | Did you get the grading contract? |
27504 | Did you notice that he moved as though he had no power in his left side? |
27504 | Do you believe this infamous libel? |
27504 | Do you know that shortly after leaving your house he was murderously assaulted as a result of his visit? |
27504 | Do you know the sheep- faced feeling, Ralph? |
27504 | Do you realize, Mr. Lorimer, that you are in many ways a lucky man? |
27504 | Do you think there is any ore worth milling in the Day Spring, Calvert? |
27504 | Had n''t we better run our line through and mark it off now that we''re here? |
27504 | Hast gone mad altogether, lad? |
27504 | Have you any animus against the prisoner Fletcher? |
27504 | Have you anything to say before I turn you out on the prairie? |
27504 | Have you lost your reason as well as all sense of duty, Grace? |
27504 | Have you seen a ghost? |
27504 | Have you turned religious suddenly, Ralph? |
27504 | He was to your knowledge threatened? |
27504 | How do those French- Canadians learn to play like that? |
27504 | How long do you spend over one? 27504 I promised to look in on Morgan in the saloon; will you join us?" |
27504 | I''m afraid it''s more than likely, too, that you will object to our putting up the buildings we have in mind anywhere about Carrington? |
27504 | Is it true that all has been settled satisfactorily? |
27504 | Is it true? |
27504 | Is this going to be the end of me? |
27504 | It is comfortable enough, but, Ralph, did you ever brush it? 27504 May I show you this wonderful township?" |
27504 | Mr. Lorimer,he said,"will you be kind enough to explain why you are cutting my timber without permission?" |
27504 | Must I speak twice? |
27504 | Now are you willing to do it in that way? 27504 Now what''s the matter with running more cattle? |
27504 | Now, I want only the truth-- you understand these rivers-- could any white man take a canoe down there and through the pool safely? |
27504 | Now, advise me about those cattle; and is there anything I can do for you? |
27504 | Only two doors to the place, have n''t you? 27504 Or have you forgotten you told me yesterday that you did not care to go?" |
27504 | Or his wife? |
27504 | Seen Colonel Carrington? |
27504 | Shall we thank Providence for a good conceit of ourselves? |
27504 | So you decided to dispense with it? |
27504 | The only question is-- how far from the station are we? |
27504 | The question is, however, what can you do? |
27504 | The result? |
27504 | They have all voted? |
27504 | We have heard great things,said Johnston;"what did the surveyor say? |
27504 | Well, Ralph, what is it now? |
27504 | Well, then, why do n''t you come? |
27504 | Were you a friend of Thomas Fletcher''s? |
27504 | What are the duties? |
27504 | What did he say? |
27504 | What did that fellow say? |
27504 | What do you think of that, Lee? |
27504 | What do you think of your cousin, lass? |
27504 | What has that to do with thee? |
27504 | What is it? |
27504 | What is this beggarly farmer, the nephew of my bitterest enemy, that you should give up so much for him? 27504 What was that?" |
27504 | What will you do with it? |
27504 | Where did he learn the trick of it? |
27504 | Where do you think they have gone? |
27504 | Where is the site? |
27504 | Where is your boasted consistency? 27504 Who is this man here, lass?" |
27504 | Whom are you wanting? |
27504 | Why did she not speak to either of us? |
27504 | Why do n''t you go? |
27504 | Will she have you? |
27504 | Will they get through? |
27504 | Will you all turn against me, you dividend- hunting traitors? |
27504 | Will you come out, and give up Hemlock Jim? |
27504 | Will you tell me about Canada, Miss Carrington? |
27504 | Wo n''t you come in, boys, instead of fooling''round outside there in the cold? |
27504 | Wo n''t you come in? |
27504 | You are all supplied? |
27504 | You are hardly a Lancelot, Sir Railroad Builder; and she-- is it a compliment to compare me with Arthur''s faithless Queen? |
27504 | You have more good friends than you think, Ralph; and it was of service to you, was it not? |
27504 | You have used those cracked plates since you came here? 27504 You mean to take a vote?" |
27504 | You''ll take me over now wo n''t you, Lorimer? |
27504 | ''Something nice for a lady?'' |
27504 | ''What''s his figure?'' |
27504 | ''Who the perdition are you?'' |
27504 | Ah, excuse an unfortunate question-- a difference of opinion most probably?" |
27504 | Ah, if you are not tired, Miss Carrington, will you take pity on an old friend of yours? |
27504 | Alice, would n''t that lady take charge of thee while I stay back?" |
27504 | Am I a low- grade perjurer-- and my friend what he was working round to show? |
27504 | And did n''t I tell you to use the axe?" |
27504 | And did n''t the new partner grumble?" |
27504 | And did you ever ask whether I had plans for thee?" |
27504 | And do you fancy that I loved you for your prepossessing exterior? |
27504 | And does she care for thee?" |
27504 | And it has n''t dawned upon you that you came out in the transition stage-- a grub, or shall we say a chrysalis? |
27504 | And what right has any unknown person to send money to me? |
27504 | And while I glanced at her in a bewildered fashion she continued,"Do you, like my father, take my consent for granted? |
27504 | And would you choose these instead of your natural position as mistress of Carrington?" |
27504 | Anything would swing round in the eddy, would it not?" |
27504 | Are not these dark pines grander than any monument? |
27504 | Are we to hold on to our first ambition, or turn contractors?" |
27504 | Are you ill?" |
27504 | Being a trained engineer, I''m working manager, and, as a matter of business, what do I owe you?" |
27504 | But do n''t you think we are in the meantime drifting into idle sentiment? |
27504 | But now, sweetheart, how much longer must we wait and wait? |
27504 | But what about your daughter?" |
27504 | But what brought you and the others into this desolation?" |
27504 | But what could be expected? |
27504 | But where have you been, and how did we pass you?" |
27504 | Ca n''t you take it in the spirit it''s evidently meant, and be thankful? |
27504 | Can ye no hear the river roaring to the boulders, and would ye have her wash ye out mangled out o''human image into the bottomless pool? |
27504 | Could you tell me how far it is to Lone Hollow? |
27504 | Coyote, even timber wolves, antelope and other deer haunt it, do n''t they? |
27504 | Did n''t you hire my horses, once?" |
27504 | Did you meet Miss Carrington on the moor again?" |
27504 | Do n''t I wish I was coming? |
27504 | Do n''t back down on one''s partners; kind of mean, is n''t it? |
27504 | Do n''t heart- break and black, black solitude count anything with you? |
27504 | Do n''t they pay high wages for my work in Montreal and Winnipeg? |
27504 | Do n''t you know you''re trespassing?'' |
27504 | Do n''t you see the surveyor is beckoning you?" |
27504 | Do n''t you think such conduct unbecoming in an elder brother, or any respectable landowner, Lily?" |
27504 | Do n''t you think we could take the risk?" |
27504 | Do you feel any easier now? |
27504 | Do you know that in half an hour I could bring the police on you?" |
27504 | Do you know we''ve been living on potatoes, tea, and porridge every meal for the last ten days? |
27504 | Do you know you have cost me two dollars already by your breakages? |
27504 | Do you remember what you once said to me at Lone Hollow?" |
27504 | Ever heard me moralizing, Ralph? |
27504 | Four men with a load between them-- where are the lave o''ye? |
27504 | Geoffrey, are you mad?" |
27504 | Good markets and mills, say the city men, but where do the markets come in if you ca n''t get at them? |
27504 | Grace, to both of us, this is the strangest of wedding presents; but what shall we do with these shares in the Day Spring mine? |
27504 | Hast told thy cousin Alice about it?" |
27504 | Have I not seen my brother reveling in them? |
27504 | Have n''t you realized yet that this undertaking is too big for you?" |
27504 | Have they no use for the money you would spend in liquor here-- the women who never cried out when they let you go? |
27504 | Have ye seen a two- horse sleigh? |
27504 | Have you been fascinating any more young damsels, Ralph? |
27504 | Have you counted the cost-- hardship, degrading drudgery, and your father''s displeasure? |
27504 | Have you lost your usual eloquence?" |
27504 | He saw we were plotting something, and laughed as he said:"Making up your bill? |
27504 | He was a townsman who had never crossed the Rockies-- and if there are glories like this on earth, what must the everlasting city be?" |
27504 | He''s a big chestnut, branded small O inside the Carrington C. You''ll be careful with him, wo n''t you?" |
27504 | He''s no friend o''yours; have ye met that sleigh, and where are ye riding at this unholy hour?" |
27504 | He, too, possessed a copy of the wretched paper, and, flinging it down before me, said,"Hast seen this, lad? |
27504 | Here, before these witnesses, tell me again, is it Gospel true?" |
27504 | How did you leave mother, and the shop? |
27504 | How much do you call a fair thing for the holding as it stands, bearing in mind our risk in buying what is only the good- will with the owner absent?" |
27504 | How much maize and oats for the horses? |
27504 | Hudson, where did you fling that confounded bucket? |
27504 | I am going back to the farm at Fairmead, and, if she is longing for open air, do you think she would come and keep house for me?" |
27504 | I dreaded the next question, which came promptly:"And what does the iron- fisted Colonel say as to thee for a son- in- law?" |
27504 | I even laughed as Harry, meeting me in the doorway, said,"Good heavens, Ralph, what have you been doing? |
27504 | I had seen very little of him since Harry returned, and taxed him with it, saying:"Have we frightened you away from Fairmead lately?" |
27504 | I manage the affairs of the Manor, and may I ask what your grocery list came to? |
27504 | I presume I have the pleasure of addressing him? |
27504 | I presume you know the fees they charge at both those schools? |
27504 | I remember that when we discussed the affair later Johnston said,"What did I do it for? |
27504 | I showed Aline the letter, and she said,"Why do n''t you go? |
27504 | I spent some time with the latter, who smiled dryly as he said,"Not quite cleaned out yet? |
27504 | I suppose it is-- hopeless-- absolutely?" |
27504 | I suppose you are sure the firm he represented is good?" |
27504 | I suppose you have not heard what caused the quarrel?" |
27504 | I wonder whether the thought was born when that sunset flamed and flashed?" |
27504 | I''ve been trying to remedy that disaster-- did you ever wonder where my dividends went to? |
27504 | I''ve only met one who is always sensible;"and then an idea struck me, and I added quickly:"Are you quite sure Fletcher was n''t in the sleigh?" |
27504 | If the crop fails? |
27504 | If you take your share of the five hundred, what is going to educate your brother Reggie and your sister Aline? |
27504 | Is he here with the fire of bad whisky in him, betting against the banker to win a smile from Jess of Caribou?" |
27504 | Is it not true that you took her from the service of a railroad hotel and found a house for her on the prairie?" |
27504 | Is it strange that he has learned a little courtesy? |
27504 | Is n''t that your view, Harry?" |
27504 | Is there any means whatever by which I can annul the bargain?'' |
27504 | Is there anything the matter with stopping here? |
27504 | Is this the lot you would propose for her? |
27504 | It is n''t poor Minnie''s fault that her husband is what you call a bad egg, is it? |
27504 | It would be splendid, would n''t it, if you were to find a gold mine?" |
27504 | It''s a bonanza harvest, and I''ll keep my promise; fifteen dollars a month, is n''t it? |
27504 | It''s nice to think oneself inflexible, is n''t it? |
27504 | Just where and how are they waiting? |
27504 | Kind of religio- political crank, is n''t he? |
27504 | Lorimer, I wonder, if we knew all, whether we should pity him?" |
27504 | Lorimer?" |
27504 | Lorimer?" |
27504 | May I ask who it is to whom we are so much indebted? |
27504 | More working beasts? |
27504 | Mr. Lorimer, of Fairmead, are you not? |
27504 | No other possible landing place or foothold, is there? |
27504 | No? |
27504 | Not seen the whole of your noble self in a glass for two years? |
27504 | Now tell me if you have any definite plans-- you know how I always used to advise you?" |
27504 | Now you have come out of the chrysalis-- see?" |
27504 | Now, I''ve been talking straight-- what have you to say?" |
27504 | Now, sir, for the space of two minutes will you restrain your impatience and follow us?" |
27504 | Of course, it sounds ridiculous, but, as Harry says, we do not know everything, and you believe me, do n''t you?" |
27504 | Of course, you''ll stay with us a week or two?" |
27504 | Oh, who will with me ride?" |
27504 | Ralph Lorimer of Orb Mill, where is Minnie Lee?" |
27504 | Ralph Lorimer, are you sure that it is not poison you are giving me?" |
27504 | Ralph, is it foolish-- I once supposed it would be so-- that because you have the strength to do these things you make me proud of you?" |
27504 | Ralph, why do n''t you try a deal in cattle?" |
27504 | Ralph, wo n''t you help me?" |
27504 | Ralph, you know how old friends we are, and I have been wondering-- you really must be sensible-- whether I could help her through you?" |
27504 | Remembering what I told you, have you settled yet what you are going to do?" |
27504 | Say, do n''t you think you had better ride round and lock up that blamed old Coombs?" |
27504 | Say, had n''t we better lead our horses?" |
27504 | Say, what are you going to do with him, sonny?" |
27504 | Seen no one on the prairie? |
27504 | Shall I ask the cashier to make out a statement? |
27504 | Shall I ask your wife before you whether it''s true? |
27504 | Shall I tell you? |
27504 | Shall the rich rob us of our children, as they rob us of our bread?" |
27504 | Shall we be permitted to walk hand in hand through the first thick darkness, darling?" |
27504 | She is teaching now-- do you know what women are paid for teaching in some private schools? |
27504 | Sixty yards and a two- foot target, what need for such precautions? |
27504 | Solid and slow from shoulders to ankles; head-- shall we say that of a gladiator, or a prize- fighter? |
27504 | Sorry to intrude business, but after all I''m a drummer, and one must earn one''s bread and butter-- see?" |
27504 | Still, in reference to the latter, is there not a warning about blindly casting?" |
27504 | Still, tell me, did you dream or imagine anything more?" |
27504 | Suppose you left your sister alone, and came back to find a half- drunk hobo trying to murder her?" |
27504 | Sweetheart, could you expect the full duty to her husband from the woman who had signally failed in her duty to others?" |
27504 | Tell me how you came here, and why you left England, wo n''t you?" |
27504 | That''s about all, but, if it''s a fair question, did you find any sign of gold?" |
27504 | The Day Spring was not prospering in such a degree that we could afford to ignore the rumors-- eh, Geoffrey?" |
27504 | Then I ended slowly,"I wonder whether, even in that case, there would be any chance for me?" |
27504 | There were other counts against me; and what could a poor man do?" |
27504 | They ca n''t sell before to- morrow; and you wo n''t be hard on a plundered man, agent? |
27504 | Thomas Gorst and other names, Will Stephens, and Thomas Fletcher, would you like to glance at this warrant? |
27504 | Want to revise the item? |
27504 | Was he a little dark man, or perhaps it was another, rather stout and red- faced? |
27504 | We should always be forgiving, Ralph, should n''t we?" |
27504 | Well, I suppose there will be trouble over it; but who is this Marvin?" |
27504 | What about the dairy? |
27504 | What answer could I give him after my promise to you? |
27504 | What are you going to do with us?" |
27504 | What brought thee after me? |
27504 | What did you play this confounded trick upon us for, John?" |
27504 | What do you say, Johnston?" |
27504 | What is the name of this lunatic?'' |
27504 | What made me do it? |
27504 | What would this prairie look like if a cloud obscured the moon?" |
27504 | What''s that? |
27504 | When I neared it my suspicions were confirmed, for a rough voice hailed me from under the trees:"What are you wanting, stranger? |
27504 | Where''s my daughter, Minnie Lee, that left her home to follow thee?" |
27504 | Where''s the man from an English college that used to feel himself better after they talked to him? |
27504 | Where''s the man with the axe to chop one of these pillars for a battering- ram? |
27504 | Who can it be?" |
27504 | Who in the wide world can have sent the money?" |
27504 | Who the deuce are you-- another of them?'' |
27504 | Who!--Miss Carrington-- is there any one else to look at when she is in the room?" |
27504 | Who?--oh, General Jackson, how should I remember? |
27504 | Why are n''t you getting off?" |
27504 | Why ca n''t your people understand that if a man''s a dead failure over there we do n''t want him? |
27504 | Why must you stop me then?" |
27504 | Why should that invertebrate wastrel have turned up to plague us so?" |
27504 | Why? |
27504 | Will I take payment for a bit of dried venison, when the Almighty freely gives me all the good fish in the river an''the deer in the woods? |
27504 | Will you follow me?" |
27504 | Will you give me Aline?" |
27504 | Wo n''t get off? |
27504 | Wo n''t you all walk along and write your names down here?" |
27504 | Would you like to come with me?" |
27504 | Would you make this clean, green land like Lancashire or parts of Pennsylvania?" |
27504 | Would you mind telling me what you expect to do?" |
27504 | You agree? |
27504 | You had a long journey-- how much did you get?" |
27504 | You quite understand what I am saying, Colonel Carrington?" |
27504 | You remember how he looked when he said that this was his last march?" |
27504 | You understand-- you once told me you felt it all, and you went out in search of fortune; but what can a woman do? |
27504 | You will do this, as a favor, wo n''t you?" |
27504 | You will help me to do what I ought, dearest?" |
27504 | You wo n''t bear malice?" |
27504 | You would demand his best from your partner, would n''t you?" |
27504 | You''ll wish me Godspeed, wo n''t you?" |
27504 | Your baggage? |
27504 | are we expected to drink all of this? |
27504 | is there nothing I can do? |
27504 | look at that one striding toward us with the air of a general; stamp of blood about him; where did he get it? |
27504 | why did n''t you come before?" |
6357 | ''And what is that?'' 6357 ''Baking again, Anderson?'' |
6357 | ''Did n''t I tell you, you young blackguard, that the grouse- pie was to be kept for Sunday? 6357 ''Do Knisteneux hunt at night, prowling in the bed of a stream?'' |
6357 | ''Does the young wrestler want_ another_ wife?'' 6357 ''Has the light- hair got a medicine- bag, or does she speak with spirits, that she has found me so easily?'' |
6357 | ''Well, sir''said he,''do you wish to speak to me?'' 6357 Ah, some beads and silks, eh? |
6357 | All right,cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?" |
6357 | An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea? |
6357 | An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place? |
6357 | An''where has''e been took to? |
6357 | And Misconna? |
6357 | And did you never see him again? |
6357 | And did you not undeceive the greenhorn? |
6357 | And do you intend to do so? |
6357 | And does Jacques know he is here? |
6357 | And does she agree? |
6357 | And how much will that be? |
6357 | And no one else? |
6357 | And pray what is_ that_? |
6357 | And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you? |
6357 | And pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place? |
6357 | And the black mare, can he not have that? |
6357 | And the new horse? |
6357 | And what of Charley? |
6357 | And what was the result? |
6357 | And why not with a red Indian, friend? |
6357 | And your name? |
6357 | And, pray, what dog-- what miserable thieving cur are you, who dare to address me thus? |
6357 | Anon? |
6357 | Any bark knocked off? |
6357 | Anything else? |
6357 | Anything more, Antoine? |
6357 | But are you still thought a poor warrior? |
6357 | But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 6357 But do you think it_ really_ is one?" |
6357 | But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs. Grant seeing you? |
6357 | But what has all this to do with Peterkin? |
6357 | By all means-- Ho, Redfeather; are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance? |
6357 | By- the- by, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not? |
6357 | Can it be possible? |
6357 | Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that? |
6357 | Could he not try the new horse? |
6357 | Could n''t he have the brown pony? |
6357 | Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 6357 Dear me, what has happened?" |
6357 | Did Francois get better? |
6357 | Did I ring for you, eh? |
6357 | Did n''t I say so? |
6357 | Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him? |
6357 | Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods? |
6357 | Did you ever trap a fox, Harry? |
6357 | Did''e not say w''en''e''d be home? |
6357 | Did_ he_ sing of niggers? |
6357 | Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts? |
6357 | Do with it? 6357 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?" |
6357 | Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois? |
6357 | Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off? |
6357 | Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian? |
6357 | Do you see_ that_? |
6357 | Do you think he''s not open to persuasion? |
6357 | Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it? |
6357 | Do? 6357 Do?" |
6357 | Do_ what_ for me? |
6357 | Eh, what''s that? 6357 First of all, friend,"continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?" |
6357 | Fond as ever of smoking, Louis? |
6357 | Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you? |
6357 | Had we not better make our trap here, then? 6357 Harry, my, dear boy;"cried Mr. Kennedy, seizing his young friend by the hand;"how are you, lad? |
6357 | Have the Indians, then, used any open threats? |
6357 | Have we seen the worst of it? |
6357 | Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_? 6357 Have you slept well, darling?" |
6357 | Have you told my father that she does? |
6357 | He could n''t have got thirty guns, could he? 6357 Here''s an entry in Louis''s account that I ca n''t make out--30 something or other; what can it have been?" |
6357 | How are the heels now, Hamilton? |
6357 | How do you mean to act, Jacques? |
6357 | How do your feet stand it, eh? 6357 How many traps have you?" |
6357 | How much did yon give him? |
6357 | How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques? |
6357 | How so, girl? |
6357 | How so? |
6357 | How so? |
6357 | How will the snow help us? |
6357 | I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek? |
6357 | I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on? |
6357 | I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr. S- Harry, I mean? |
6357 | Indeed it is; but, then, what can you do? |
6357 | Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 6357 Is that it, eh?" |
6357 | Is the man mad? |
6357 | Is the portage a long one? |
6357 | Is the scoundrel caught? |
6357 | Is there a good place at the other end to camp on? |
6357 | Kate, my darling,said Mr. Kennedy, as he finished the last mouthful of tea,"would n''t it be capital to get another letter from Charley?" |
6357 | No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr. Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you? |
6357 | Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it? |
6357 | Now is n''t that a bore? |
6357 | Now then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes? |
6357 | Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?" |
6357 | O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?" |
6357 | Oh, and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here? |
6357 | Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeared, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say? |
6357 | Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate? |
6357 | Say you so? 6357 Shall we get over in time, Louis?" |
6357 | Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?" |
6357 | Thank you, I''d rather not,said Harry;"and as for Hamilton, I''m convinced that_ his_ mind is made up on the subject.--How go the heels now?" |
6357 | That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?" |
6357 | That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?" |
6357 | The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,''Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?'' |
6357 | Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in? |
6357 | Then you know how to_ set_ a trap? |
6357 | Thrusting his hands deep into his breeches pockets, and seating himself on an old sea- chest, he began,--''I say, Wilson, will you do me a favour?'' |
6357 | Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?" |
6357 | True; but that being, as you say, the_ natural_ route, do n''t you think it likely he''ll expect that it will be guarded, and avoid it accordingly? |
6357 | Very good,said Harry;"and can you give us the least idea of what they are going to do with my friend Hamilton and me when they get us?" |
6357 | Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?" |
6357 | Well, Peter,whispered Mr. Kennedy, senior, putting his head in at the door( it was Harry''s room in which Charley lay),"how is he now?" |
6357 | Well, but ca n''t you do that here? |
6357 | Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now? |
6357 | Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 6357 What can that be?" |
6357 | What can the Injin mean, I wonder? |
6357 | What did you give him? |
6357 | What do you think of my friend there? |
6357 | What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 6357 What does?" |
6357 | What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended? |
6357 | What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry? |
6357 | What shall we do, Harry? 6357 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?" |
6357 | What think you now, Louis? |
6357 | What was Redfeather thinking about? |
6357 | What would you advise then? |
6357 | What''s in the wind now? |
6357 | What''s to be done? |
6357 | What''s wrong now, Hammy? |
6357 | What''s yon ahead? |
6357 | What_ can_ it have been? 6357 What_ is_ comfort? |
6357 | Where are your traps set? |
6357 | Where do you come from then, and what''s your name? |
6357 | Where is it? |
6357 | Where''s the brown pony? |
6357 | Where? 6357 Which? |
6357 | Who am I to say did it? |
6357 | Who can it be, I wonder? |
6357 | Who does this belong to? |
6357 | Who? |
6357 | Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh? |
6357 | Why not? |
6357 | Why, how came that about? |
6357 | Why, how was that? 6357 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it? |
6357 | Why? 6357 Will Mr. Charles speak for me?" |
6357 | Will that do? |
6357 | Will you just look at yonder rock ahead of us, and tell me what you see? |
6357 | Will_ you_ come, Hamilton? |
6357 | Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself? |
6357 | Would you like to go with us, Charley? |
6357 | Yes; but how are we to catch them? |
6357 | You do n''t mean, surely, to take so long a walk in the dark, do you? 6357 You have never seen anything like that before, I daresay?" |
6357 | You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you? |
6357 | You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton? |
6357 | You''ve heerd of Sir John Franklin, I s''pose? |
6357 | ''Dog,''he cried again, while his eyes flashed fiercely, as he grasped me by the arm,''will you wrestle, or are you afraid? |
6357 | ''Why, you stupid, what did you take me for? |
6357 | 30--30--not blankets, eh?" |
6357 | And Wabisca, what came of her? |
6357 | And if I get up, seize a hatchet, level the stump, cut away the root, and spread pine brush over the place, am I to be called lazy for doing so? |
6357 | And who do you think this man Jacques is? |
6357 | Are you aware, Hammy my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?" |
6357 | At last he said slowly--"Think of home? |
6357 | Ay or no, lass: which is''t to be?'' |
6357 | Beginning to lose bark yet?" |
6357 | But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?" |
6357 | But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?" |
6357 | But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?" |
6357 | But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?" |
6357 | But tell me,''she added with still deeper anxiety,''does the white- feather come alone? |
6357 | But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?" |
6357 | Can you forgive me, Kate?" |
6357 | Charles?" |
6357 | Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied,--"Do, my boy? |
6357 | Charley was silent for a few seconds; then heaving a deep sigh, he said,--"Well, I believe you''re right, Kate; but then, what am I to do? |
6357 | Come now, Charley, what think you of it?" |
6357 | Could n''t you tell me to look at the fire without the preliminary piece of advice to_ compose_ myself? |
6357 | Could we not give it one trial more? |
6357 | Did Misconna get her?" |
6357 | Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?" |
6357 | Did you ever get it? |
6357 | Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?" |
6357 | Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?" |
6357 | Do n''t you see that the things are all aboard, and we''ll be ready to start in five minutes, and you sitting there with your neckcloths off?" |
6357 | Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant? |
6357 | Do you feel inclined for a walk?" |
6357 | Do you feel queer, Harry?" |
6357 | Do you think so, Jacques?" |
6357 | Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?'' |
6357 | Does n''t the road take a turn there? |
6357 | Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?" |
6357 | Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?" |
6357 | Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?'' |
6357 | Have I not broken in young colts by the score? |
6357 | Have they come yet?" |
6357 | Have you got a tent?" |
6357 | Have you no other?" |
6357 | He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?" |
6357 | Head getting all right again? |
6357 | Home? |
6357 | How are the heels? |
6357 | How could they know better? |
6357 | How far off is it?" |
6357 | How''s that?" |
6357 | I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?" |
6357 | I found papa writing at a small table, and the moment he heard my footstep he jumped up with a fierce frown, and shouted,"Who''s there?" |
6357 | I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?" |
6357 | I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?" |
6357 | I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh? |
6357 | Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?" |
6357 | Is Kate there?" |
6357 | Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age? |
6357 | Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?" |
6357 | Is it not so?" |
6357 | Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?" |
6357 | Is that it?" |
6357 | Is that it?" |
6357 | Is that your desire?" |
6357 | Is the horse too wild to ride?" |
6357 | It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?" |
6357 | Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?" |
6357 | Must I sit here till it is all consumed?" |
6357 | Now I suppose you are aware that it is necessary to boil an Indian''s head in order to get the flesh clean off the skull?'' |
6357 | Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?" |
6357 | Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate? |
6357 | Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?" |
6357 | Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?" |
6357 | Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?" |
6357 | Rather sore, eh? |
6357 | Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?" |
6357 | Shall we, Charley?" |
6357 | Surely it is not an evidence of laziness, my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting? |
6357 | Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape? |
6357 | Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?" |
6357 | That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?" |
6357 | That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?" |
6357 | The odd part of it was that Kate, too, was affected in precisely the same way, and both of them exclaimed mentally,"Can it be possible?" |
6357 | W''at''s wrong, sir?" |
6357 | Well, how much will you have?" |
6357 | Were you with them?" |
6357 | What brought you here?" |
6357 | What did you mean by it, eh?'' |
6357 | What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?" |
6357 | What have you to say?" |
6357 | What they''ve come for is more than I can tell, but I suppose it''s connected with church affairs.--Now then, Kate, what''s come o''the dinner, Kate? |
6357 | What think you of it?" |
6357 | What was to prevent his being dug up? |
6357 | What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh? |
6357 | What_ could_ have possessed her to take such a husband? |
6357 | What_ is_ to be done?" |
6357 | When were you reduced to that direful extremity?" |
6357 | Where did you say you left him?" |
6357 | Where is it?'' |
6357 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
6357 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
6357 | Why, what do you mean?" |
6357 | Why, what_ is_ comfort?" |
6357 | Would it not be better to set it up first?" |
6357 | Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?" |
6357 | Would you not like me to stay with you?" |
6357 | You do n''t mean to tell me that the way to break him in is to let him run loose and wild whenever and wherever he pleases?" |
6357 | You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh? |
6357 | You recollect him, father?" |
6357 | You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?" |
6357 | You''ve heard of old Labontà ©, who used to carry one of the winter packets from Red River until within a few years back?" |
6357 | and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?" |
6357 | asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs. Grant, I hope? |
6357 | ca n''t swim?" |
6357 | cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow? |
6357 | cried Harry,"what''s the row?" |
6357 | cried Mr. Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?" |
6357 | cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk? |
6357 | do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?" |
6357 | do you feel quite strong enough?" |
6357 | eh, blackguards?" |
6357 | eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible? |
6357 | ejaculated Charley;"did anyone see me, Kate?" |
6357 | exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too? |
6357 | exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?" |
6357 | have you eaten it?" |
6357 | he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?" |
6357 | he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?" |
6357 | he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,''will you wrestle?'' |
6357 | is n''t it strange?" |
6357 | or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?" |
6357 | said Baptiste, between his set teeth, while his eyes flashed angrily, and he stood up before Hugh with clinched fists,"what mean you by that, eh?" |
6357 | shall we send for her?" |
6357 | what cheer?" |
6357 | what do you mean?" |
6357 | what do you mean?" |
6357 | what think ye of that, my boy?" |
6357 | what''s going on yonder?" |
6357 | what''s that? |
6357 | what-- where?" |
6357 | what?" |
6357 | where is it?" |
6357 | where''s Hamilton?" |
6357 | where''s the kettle, Hamilton? |
6357 | where? |
6357 | why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task? |
21712 | Ah, some beads and silks, eh? 21712 All right,"cried Harry, suppressing his feelings with a strong effort;"what next?" |
21712 | An''p''r''aps you''ve heerd tell of his first trip of discovery along the shores of the Polar Sea? |
21712 | An''please, master,put in Jacques,"when do you mean to let us off from this place? |
21712 | An''where has''e been took to? |
21712 | And Misconna? |
21712 | And did you never see him again? |
21712 | And did you not undeceive the greenhorn? |
21712 | And do you intend to do so? |
21712 | And does Jacques know he is here? |
21712 | And does she agree? |
21712 | And how much will that be? |
21712 | And no one else? |
21712 | And pray what is_ that_? |
21712 | And pray, good Redfeather, what did your thoughts tell you? |
21712 | And the black mare, can he not have that? |
21712 | And the new horse? |
21712 | And what of Charley? |
21712 | And what was the result? |
21712 | And why not with a red Indian, friend? |
21712 | And woman too,interrupted Harry.--"Eh, Hamilton, what say you? |
21712 | And your name? |
21712 | And, pray, how far do you think we may now be from that place? |
21712 | And, pray, what dog-- what miserable, thieving cur-- are you, who dare to address me thus? |
21712 | Anon? |
21712 | Any bark knocked off? |
21712 | Anything else? |
21712 | Anything more, Antoine? |
21712 | But are you still thought a poor warrior? |
21712 | But are you sure it wo n''t do you harm to talk? 21712 But do you think it_ really_ is one?" |
21712 | But tell me, Charley, why do you care about Mrs Grant seeing you? |
21712 | But what has all this to do with Peterkin? |
21712 | By- the- bye, you''re going over to the missionary''s place to- morrow, are you not? |
21712 | Can it be possible? |
21712 | Could anything on earth break up or sink or melt that? |
21712 | Could he not try the new horse? |
21712 | Could n''t he have the brown pony? |
21712 | Dear me, Harry, what''s wrong? 21712 Dear me, what has happened?" |
21712 | Did Francois get better? |
21712 | Did I ring for you, eh? |
21712 | Did he sing of niggers? |
21712 | Did n''t I say so? |
21712 | Did you ever explain to him the prospects that he would have in the situation you propose for him? |
21712 | Did you ever point out the probable end of a life spent in the woods? |
21712 | Did you ever trap a fox, Harry? |
21712 | Did''e not say w''en''e''d be''ome? |
21712 | Do ducks travel in canoes hereabouts? |
21712 | Do with it? 21712 Do you ever think of building a hut in such a spot as this, Jacques, and settling down altogether?" |
21712 | Do you know any of the Indians who are so anxious to vent their spleen on our worthy bourgeois? |
21712 | Do you mean to say that people''s heels really freeze and fall off? |
21712 | Do you refer to the time when he was nearly starved to death, and when poor Hood was shot by the Indian? |
21712 | Do you see_ that_? |
21712 | Do you think he''s not open to persuasion? |
21712 | Do you think much of home, Charley, now that you have left it? |
21712 | Do? 21712 Do?" |
21712 | Do_ what_ for me? |
21712 | Done? 21712 Eh, what''s that? |
21712 | First of all, friend,continued Harry,"do you belong to the fort here?" |
21712 | Fond as ever of smoking, Louis? |
21712 | Had I not better tell Tom Whyte to saddle the young horse for you? |
21712 | Had we not better make our trap here, then? 21712 Have the Indians, then, used any open threats?" |
21712 | Have we seen the worst of it? |
21712 | Have you no place in the world to fight but_ here_--eh, blackguards? |
21712 | Have you slept well, darling? |
21712 | Have you told my father that she does? |
21712 | He could n''t have got thirty guns, could he? 21712 Here''s an entry in Louis''s account that I ca n''t make out--30 something or other; what can it have been?" |
21712 | How are the heels now, Hamilton? |
21712 | How do you mean to act, Jacques? |
21712 | How do your feet stand it, eh? 21712 How many traps have you?" |
21712 | How much did you give him? |
21712 | How shall I keep the canoe''s head, Jacques? |
21712 | How so, girl? |
21712 | How so? |
21712 | How so? |
21712 | How will the snow help us? |
21712 | I say, Jacques, is yon a cloud or a wreath of smoke above the trees in the creek? |
21712 | I say, Jacques,said Charley, pulling up once more,"how do you get on? |
21712 | I should like of all things to be introduced to the bold hunter.--Another cup of tea, Mr S-- Harry, I mean? |
21712 | Indeed it is; but then, what can you do? |
21712 | Is it not likely that Misconna may have crossed the river already? 21712 Is that it, eh?" |
21712 | Is the man mad? |
21712 | Is the portage a long one? |
21712 | Is there a good place at the other end to camp on? |
21712 | Kate, my darling,said Mr Kennedy, as he finished the last mouthful of tea,"would n''t it be capital to get another letter from Charley?" |
21712 | No, never; what was it? |
21712 | No, not till the parson comes,interrupted Mr Kennedy, convulsing his left cheek.--"Hollo, Charley, where are you? |
21712 | Nor suggest to him that the appointment to the office here would only be temporary, and to see how he got on in it? |
21712 | Now, is n''t that a bore? |
21712 | Now, then, what say you to going farther out on the river, and making a snow trap for white foxes? |
21712 | Now, you bad boy,said Kate,"why_ wo n''t_ you try to rest?" |
21712 | O Charley,she continued,"why_ wo n''t_ you stay?" |
21712 | Please, sir,began Tom, with a slightly disconcerted air,"I''m afeard, sir, that-- um--""Well, Tom, what would you say? |
21712 | Pray, who did you leave to that delightful fate? |
21712 | Say you so? 21712 Shall we get over in time, Louis?" |
21712 | Strange,said his friend;"what_ can_ it be?" |
21712 | Thank you, I''d rather not,said Harry;"and as for Hamilton, I''m convinced that_ his_ mind is made up on the subject.--How go the heels now?" |
21712 | That''s a spirited horse, Kate,said Charley, as they ambled along;"have you had him long?" |
21712 | That''s no reason,replied Charley,"why you should knock out all my front teeth, is it?" |
21712 | The pipe, sir,said Tom, growing still more disconcerted--"says I to cook, says I,` Cook, wot''s been an''done it, d''ye think?'' |
21712 | Then do you think, master, that a man should_ never_ tell a lie, no matter what fix he may be in? |
21712 | Then you know how to_ set_ a trap? |
21712 | Thrusting his hands deep into his breeches pockets and seating himself on an old sea- chest, he began,--` I say, Wilson, will you do me a favour?'' |
21712 | Tom,said the senior clerk,"do you think we could manage to mount Charley to- morrow?" |
21712 | Very good,said Harry;"and can you give us the least idea of what they are going to do with my friend Hamilton and me when they get us?" |
21712 | Well, Hamilton,said Harry, throwing off his reverie with a deep sigh,"are you glad to leave York Fort, or sorry?" |
21712 | Well, Peter,whispered Mr Kennedy, senior, putting his head in at the door( it was Harry''s room in which Charley lay),"how is he now?" |
21712 | Well, my boy,said he, seating himself on the bedside and taking his son''s hand,"how goes it now? |
21712 | Well, then, you must understand--"Must I? 21712 What can that be?" |
21712 | What can the Injin mean, I wonder? |
21712 | What did you give him? |
21712 | What do you think of my friend there? |
21712 | What do you think of_ that_, old fellow? 21712 What does?" |
21712 | What prevented him coming with you, as you tell me he intended? |
21712 | What say you to a walk through the woods to North River, Harry? |
21712 | What shall we do, Harry? 21712 What should we do,"inquired the former,"if the plain were five or six miles broad?" |
21712 | What think you now, Louis? |
21712 | What was Redfeather thinking about? |
21712 | What would you advise, then? |
21712 | What''s in the wind now? |
21712 | What''s to be done? |
21712 | What''s wrong now, Hammy? |
21712 | What''s yon ahead? |
21712 | What_ can_ it have been? 21712 What_ is_ comfort? |
21712 | Where are your traps set? |
21712 | Where do you come from, then, and what''s your name? |
21712 | Where is it? |
21712 | Where''s the brown pony? |
21712 | Where? 21712 Which? |
21712 | Who am I to say did it? |
21712 | Who can it be, I wonder? |
21712 | Who does this belong to? |
21712 | Who? |
21712 | Why did n''t you bring him up without shoes, man, eh? |
21712 | Why not? |
21712 | Why, how came that about? |
21712 | Why, how was that? 21712 Why, that''s another wolf, is n''t it? |
21712 | Why? 21712 Will Mr Charles speak for me?" |
21712 | Will that do? |
21712 | Will_ you_ come, Hamilton? |
21712 | Would n''t it be a disinterested piece of kindness if you were to say it was yourself? |
21712 | Would you like to go with us, Charley? |
21712 | Yes; but how are we to catch them? |
21712 | You do n''t mean, surely, to take so long a walk in the dark, do you? 21712 You have never seen anything like that before, I dare say?" |
21712 | You have something to tell, Redfeather,said Jacques, in a subdued tone, after regarding him a few seconds;"is the scoundrel caught?" |
21712 | You knew a Charley Kennedy in the Saskatchewan, did you? |
21712 | You''re not afraid of a fight, are you, Hamilton? |
21712 | You''ve heerd of Sir John Franklin, I s''pose? |
21712 | ` And what is that?'' 21712 ` Baking again, Anderson?'' |
21712 | ` Did n''t I tell you, you young blackguard, that the grouse- pie was to be kept for Sunday? 21712 ` Do Knisteneux hunt at night, prowling in the bed of a stream?'' |
21712 | ` Does the young wrestler want_ another_ wife?'' 21712 ` Has the light- hair got a medicine- bag, or does she speak with spirits, that she has found me so easily?'' |
21712 | ` Well, sir,''said he,` do you wish to speak to me?'' 21712 30-- 30--not blankets, eh? |
21712 | And Wabisca, what came of her? |
21712 | And if I get up, seize a hatchet, level the stump, cut away the root, and spread pine brush over the place, am I to be called lazy for doing so? |
21712 | And who do you think this man Jacques is? |
21712 | Are you aware, Hammy, my boy, that the Saskatchewan district is a sort of terrestrial paradise, and Mackenzie River equivalent to Botany Bay?" |
21712 | At last he said slowly--"Think of home? |
21712 | Ay or no, lass; which is''t to be?'' |
21712 | Beginning to lose bark yet?" |
21712 | But is n''t it, now, really a_ very_ hard case?" |
21712 | But now, Kate, tell me, what do you think of father''s determination to have me placed in the office here?" |
21712 | But tell me, Harry, have you spoken to Kate herself?" |
21712 | But tell me, doctor, what do you mean to do with that lump of snow there?" |
21712 | But tell me,''she added, with still deeper anxiety,` does the white- feather come alone? |
21712 | But who do you think can be_ en route_ so late?" |
21712 | But you spoke of eating your shoes, Jacques; when were you reduced to that direful extremity?" |
21712 | Can you forgive me, Kate?" |
21712 | Charley assisted his friend to rise, and led him slowly back to the house, as he replied--"Do, my boy? |
21712 | Charley was silent for a few seconds; then heaving a deep sigh, he said,--"Well, I believe you''re right, Kate; but then, what am I to do? |
21712 | Come now, Charley, what think you of it?" |
21712 | Could we not give it one trial more? |
21712 | Did Misconna get her?" |
21712 | Did he give you any hint as to where you might be sent to after reaching Norway House?" |
21712 | Did you ever get it? |
21712 | Did you ever hear of what he did the summer before last with an Indian''s head?" |
21712 | Did you ever try to look pale and frightened, Mr Charles?" |
21712 | Do n''t lose sight of me for a moment, and if you do by chance, give a shout; d''ye hear?" |
21712 | Do n''t you see that the things are all aboard, and we''ll be ready to start in five minutes, and you sitting there with your neckcloths off?" |
21712 | Do n''t you think it would be more pleasant? |
21712 | Do you feel inclined for a walk?" |
21712 | Do you feel queer, Harry?" |
21712 | Do you think so, Jacques?" |
21712 | Does he approach_ friends_ during the dark hours with a soft step like a fox?'' |
21712 | Does n''t the road take a turn there? |
21712 | Grant, my fine fellow, how are you?" |
21712 | Hang it, where''s my handkerchief?" |
21712 | Has the brave boy''s heart changed into that of a girl?'' |
21712 | Have I not broken in young colts by the score? |
21712 | Have they come yet?" |
21712 | Have you got a tent?" |
21712 | Have you no other?" |
21712 | He has got a will of his own; and if you do not give him his way, I very much fear that he''ll--""What?" |
21712 | Head getting all right again? |
21712 | Home? |
21712 | How are the heels? |
21712 | How far off is it?" |
21712 | How''s that?" |
21712 | I fear that Kate has been talking too much to you.--Is it so, you little chatterbox?" |
21712 | I found papa writing at a small table, and the moment he heard my footstep he jumped up with a fierce frown and shouted,"Who''s there?" |
21712 | I have only been on him once before.--Would he make a good buffalo- runner, Jacques?" |
21712 | I thank you, indeed, very much; but I-- a--""Do n''t like the desk?" |
21712 | I''ve been waiting for you for months; why did you keep me so long, eh? |
21712 | Is Charley Kennedy before me-- or his ghost?" |
21712 | Is Kate there?" |
21712 | Is he not a wonderful man, to have come through so much in his old age? |
21712 | Is it better to die than to speak falsehood?" |
21712 | Is it not so?" |
21712 | Is n''t there something quite awful in them, Harry?" |
21712 | Is that it?" |
21712 | Is that it?" |
21712 | Is that your desire?" |
21712 | Is the horse too wild to ride?" |
21712 | It is snowing, too, very heavily, and I think you said that North River was five miles off, did you not?" |
21712 | Jacques, my good fellow, is that you?--Redfeather, my friend, how are you?" |
21712 | Must I sit here till it is all consumed?" |
21712 | Now I suppose you are aware that it is necessary to boil an Indian''s head in order to get the flesh clean off the skull?'' |
21712 | Now, wot I want to know is, wot''s the reason why?" |
21712 | Of course you forgot me, and everybody and everything on earth, just now; but have you seen Kate? |
21712 | Oho, Antoine!--By the way, Louis, have you seen Annette lately?" |
21712 | Pray, who placed that piece of snow over the door?" |
21712 | Pretty well stuffed by this time, I should imagine?" |
21712 | Rather sore, eh? |
21712 | Send him off to the woods with gun and blanket, canoe and tent, all complete?" |
21712 | Shall we, Charley?" |
21712 | Surely it is not an evidence of laziness my endeavouring to render these instruments of torture less tormenting? |
21712 | Tell me, Jacques, is there no way of escape? |
21712 | Thanks.--Do you think you''re up to that, Hammy?" |
21712 | That would not be sticking to truth, Jacques, would it?" |
21712 | That''s pleasant!--What think you, Hammy?" |
21712 | The odd part of it was that Kate, too, was affected in precisely the same way, and both of them exclaimed mentally,"Can it be possible?" |
21712 | W''at''s wrong, sir?" |
21712 | Well, how much will you have?" |
21712 | Were you with them?" |
21712 | What brought you here?" |
21712 | What did you mean by it, eh?'' |
21712 | What did you say_ struck_ you, Harry, my lad?" |
21712 | What have you to say?" |
21712 | What they''ve come for is more than I can tell, but I suppose it''s connected with church affairs.--Now then, Kate, what''s come o''the dinner, Kate? |
21712 | What think you of it?" |
21712 | What was to prevent his being dug up? |
21712 | What''s the use of thinking so long about it, eh? |
21712 | What_ is_ to be done?" |
21712 | Where did you say you left him?" |
21712 | Where is it?'' |
21712 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
21712 | Where''s Kate, eh? |
21712 | Who ever heard of a man being supported by his old father?" |
21712 | Why, what do you mean?" |
21712 | Why, what_ is_ comfort?" |
21712 | Would it not be better to set it up first?" |
21712 | Would you like supper before we go, or shall we have it on our return?" |
21712 | Would you not like me to stay with you?" |
21712 | You do n''t mean to tell me that the way to break him in is to let him run loose and wild whenever and wherever he pleases?" |
21712 | You might write an essay on it now, and call it the extraordinary effects of a fall of snow in latitude so and so, eh? |
21712 | You recollect him, father?" |
21712 | You tell me that you have met with my friend Redfeather?" |
21712 | You''ve heard of an Indian called Misconna?" |
21712 | You''ve heard of old Labonte, who used to carry one of the winter packets from Red River until within a few years back?" |
21712 | ` Why, you stupid, what did you take me for? |
21712 | and do n''t I know that the way to fix their flints is to clap on a good strong curb?" |
21712 | and pray for what_ purpose_ have you come here?" |
21712 | are you trying to stop the wind by looking it out of countenance?" |
21712 | asked Charley, somewhat anxiously;"not Mrs Grant, I hope? |
21712 | ca n''t swim?" |
21712 | cried Harry, as he placed the kettle on the fire--"strange to be hungry after a five miles''walk and a night in the snow? |
21712 | cried Harry,"what''s the row?" |
21712 | cried Mr Kennedy, seizing his young friend by the hand;"how are you, lad? |
21712 | cried Mr Kennedy, turning sharply round and seizing Harry by the collar,"why d''you kick up such a row, eh?" |
21712 | cried the senior clerk, losing all patience;"ca n''t you answer me without so much talk? |
21712 | do n''t you hear a cry, Harry?" |
21712 | do you feel quite strong enough?" |
21712 | eh,"exclaimed the individual thus addressed, returning Harry''s gripe and stare with interest,"is it possible? |
21712 | ejaculated Charley;"did any one see me, Kate?" |
21712 | exclaimed Kennedy,"and do you mean to argue from that, that I should let Charley run-- and_ help_ him too? |
21712 | exclaimed the former,"have you got the miller''s pony for me?" |
21712 | have you eaten it?" |
21712 | have you not learned that yet?" |
21712 | he cried again, while his eyes flashed fiercely, and he grasped me by the arm,` will you wrestle, or are you afraid? |
21712 | he cried, standing over the crestfallen Indian with flushed face and flashing eyes,"how dare you thus treat the creatures of God?" |
21712 | he exclaimed, suspending his operations for a moment,"what''s up?" |
21712 | he said at length, stepping forward and confronting me,` will you wrestle?'' |
21712 | how could they know better? |
21712 | is n''t it strange?" |
21712 | or thirty knives, or thirty copper kettles?" |
21712 | said Baptiste, between his set teeth, while his eyes flashed angrily, and he stood up before Hugh with clinched fists,"what mean you by that, eh?" |
21712 | said Mactavish, pointing sarcastically to an entry in the previous account--"5_ yards of superfine Annette_? |
21712 | shall we send for her?" |
21712 | what cheer?" |
21712 | what do you mean?" |
21712 | what do you mean?" |
21712 | what think ye of that, my boy?" |
21712 | what''s going on yonder?" |
21712 | what''s that? |
21712 | what-- where?" |
21712 | what?" |
21712 | where is it?" |
21712 | where''s Hamilton?" |
21712 | where''s the kettle, Hamilton? |
21712 | where? |
21712 | why do I waste ink on so hopeless a task? |
11328 | Afraid-- for me? |
11328 | After all those years-- he found her? |
11328 | Am I shot? |
11328 | An''--an''you know this? |
11328 | And Quade? |
11328 | And are you sorry? |
11328 | And he believes you will do it? |
11328 | And how many of the other kind have you made? |
11328 | And it will be dangerous, too? 11328 And may I ask what some of them were?" |
11328 | And that was a creepy sort of conversation to load you down with, was n''t it, Ladygray? 11328 And that was-- all?" |
11328 | And the grave, Mac? |
11328 | And the way I have looked at you? |
11328 | And this man, the half- breed, has sold himself-- for a woman? |
11328 | And we can get there ahead of them? |
11328 | And why utterly? |
11328 | And will it disappoint you, Mr. John Aldous, if I tell you that all these figures stand for riches which some one else possesses? 11328 And without friends you are going--_there?_"she cried. |
11328 | And yet you are going? |
11328 | And you are to stay with the Ottos? |
11328 | And you compare me to--_her?_"Yes,said Aldous deliberately. |
11328 | And you dare to say-- you dare to_ think_ that she is not your wife? |
11328 | And you had a reason-- you and MacDonald-- for not wanting the girls to know the truth? |
11328 | And you love me, Joanne? |
11328 | And you mean that you would fight for me-- again? |
11328 | And you think I''ll go in the Frazer? |
11328 | And you will talk to me? |
11328 | And you wo n''t forget to tell Mrs. Blackton that we may not return by four o''clock? |
11328 | And you would come to me without reservation, Joanne, trusting me, believing in me-- you would come to me body, and heart, and soul? |
11328 | And you, John Aldous? 11328 And you, John?" |
11328 | And you-- are his daughter? |
11328 | And your plan, Donald? |
11328 | Any bones broken? |
11328 | Any watch to- night, Donald? |
11328 | Are we going to encounter worse things than beasts, and poisonous serpents, and murderous savages-- even hunger and thirst, John? 11328 Are you gettin''lame, Mis''Joanne?" |
11328 | Are you just a little ashamed of me, John? |
11328 | Are you sorry-- so very, very sorry that you let me come, John? |
11328 | Ashamed? 11328 But it is so nearly finished, you say?" |
11328 | But-- if it should rain? |
11328 | Ca n''t I see, Aldous? 11328 Can you direct me to it, please?" |
11328 | Can you find it? |
11328 | Can you never see beyond my hair, John Aldous? |
11328 | Dear God in Heaven, Joanne-- can you not hear them? 11328 Dear John, you love me?" |
11328 | Did I hit you pretty hard, Bill? |
11328 | Did Quade get me with the knife? |
11328 | Did you see anything over the range? |
11328 | Do n''t you see? 11328 Do n''t you understand?" |
11328 | Do you care a great deal for riches? |
11328 | Do you hear? |
11328 | Do you? |
11328 | Does the golden pot at the end of the rainbow hold out a lure for you? |
11328 | For me? |
11328 | God bless her soul-- what for? |
11328 | Gone? |
11328 | Got the checks, Aldous? |
11328 | H''are you buying''orses or looking for hinformation? |
11328 | Half a dozen''Noblemen,''he said to the man behind the counter; then, to Rann:"Will you have one on me?" |
11328 | Has old Donald written you lately? |
11328 | Have you? |
11328 | He found her-- he found her? |
11328 | He''s done that? |
11328 | How many? |
11328 | How much? |
11328 | How the deuce did you get here? |
11328 | How-- both? |
11328 | I might as well be frank, do n''t you think? 11328 I was coming-- in a moment,"she said,"I was beginning to fear that----""--he had struck me down in the dark?" |
11328 | I-- I am a little late, am I not, Joanne? |
11328 | If it was n''t enough do you think I''d be out of bed at this hour of the night? |
11328 | If we start now----"Can you have everything ready by morning? |
11328 | Including blankets, saddles, pack- saddles, ropes, and canvases? |
11328 | Is it a go? |
11328 | Is it a go? |
11328 | Is it checkmate? |
11328 | Is it necessary for me to tell you what this man Quade is-- why he was looking through the window? |
11328 | Is it to be like''Fair Play?'' |
11328 | Is it worse than fever, and famine, and deep swamps, and crawling jungles? |
11328 | Is n''t_ that_ funny? |
11328 | Is she asleep, Johnny? |
11328 | Is there no other place where you can stay? |
11328 | It ca n''t be that you had very bad dreams, little wife? |
11328 | It do n''t seem very far now, do it, Joanne? |
11328 | It was really quite heroic of me to follow you into Bill''s place, do n''t you think? 11328 Joanne, my darling, you understand now-- why I wanted to come alone into the North?" |
11328 | Joanne, wo n''t you stay with the Blacktons, to please me? |
11328 | Joanne, you do n''t think they wo n''t dig us out, do you? 11328 Joanne,"he whispered, holding her two hands against his breast,"you are not afraid?" |
11328 | John, have you already forgotten what we said in that terrible cavern-- what we told ourselves we would have done if we had lived? 11328 John, is it_ that?_"she cried, and joy shone through her tears. |
11328 | John? |
11328 | Johnny,he said gently,"Johnny, be you sure of yourself? |
11328 | Kill me? |
11328 | Like-- Stevens'', for instance? |
11328 | Look here, MacDonald-- what in thunder has happened? 11328 Looks as though I''d run away, do n''t it, Johnny?" |
11328 | Mac, are you sure you can go to the valley of gold without DeBar? |
11328 | May I hire one until the train leaves for Tête Jaune Cache? |
11328 | Not with two guides, a cook, and a horse- wrangler on your pay- roll-- and a hospital bill as big as Geikie staring you in the face? |
11328 | Now, what do''ee think, Johnny? |
11328 | Peggy----"Why in heaven''s name do you light a match then, with us standing over all those tons of dynamite? |
11328 | Pretty near a billion, ai n''t it? |
11328 | Quade? |
11328 | See here, Aldous, you did n''t mean what you said last night, did you? 11328 See here, Johnny, boy-- tell me what''s in your mind?" |
11328 | Shall we wander up on the mountain? |
11328 | She wants to see me? |
11328 | So there_ is_ an advantage on their side, is n''t there, Mac? 11328 So you did n''t send that damned note?" |
11328 | Take this, will''ee, Johnny boy? |
11328 | That ai n''t why you''re doin''this-- for me''n the kid-- is it? |
11328 | That means-- the wild country? |
11328 | Then if they do n''t find us to- morrow, we''ll go back home? |
11328 | Then to- morrow we can go to the grave? |
11328 | Then you have n''t heard of his-- accident? |
11328 | There is no danger, is there, Donald? |
11328 | They are, are they, Donald? 11328 They have n''t shot her?" |
11328 | They might-- follow? |
11328 | They would have killed you? |
11328 | This is n''t much like the shell plaza in front of the Cape Verde, is it? |
11328 | To- morrow? |
11328 | Up there in the North-- there are no people? |
11328 | Wait? |
11328 | Want some fresh court- plaster? |
11328 | Want to see him? |
11328 | We are near the cavern? |
11328 | Well? |
11328 | Were you asleep, Johnny? |
11328 | Were you going to fish me out-- or the colt? |
11328 | What I have said? |
11328 | What am I going to do, Mac? 11328 What can I do?" |
11328 | What can that grave have to do with Quade? |
11328 | What d''ye mean-- home stretch? |
11328 | What do you mean? |
11328 | What do you mean? |
11328 | What do you mean? |
11328 | What has frightened you, Joanne? |
11328 | What in heaven''s name is the matter? |
11328 | What is it? |
11328 | What is it? |
11328 | What time is it? |
11328 | What time is it? |
11328 | What was it, dear? |
11328 | What was the dream? |
11328 | What you goin''to do? |
11328 | What''s the matter, Mac? |
11328 | What''s the matter, Peter? |
11328 | When did this happen? |
11328 | When will Donald return? |
11328 | Where is Quade? |
11328 | Where is she? 11328 Who''s your new friend?" |
11328 | Whose face? |
11328 | Why do n''t you come right out and tell me to stay at home, instead of-- of--''beating''round the bush''--as Peggy Blackton says? 11328 Why would n''t it be just as well if I told the police of his threat?" |
11328 | Why? |
11328 | Will the train stop here very long? |
11328 | Will you go out there with me, in the sunlight, where we can look down upon the little lake? |
11328 | Will you help me into the wagon? 11328 Will you promise me that, John?" |
11328 | Will you tell me? |
11328 | Wo n''t you be my guest, Ladygray? |
11328 | Wo n''t you let me thank you-- a last time? |
11328 | Wo n''t you take a little walk with me right after dinner? |
11328 | Would he--_dare?_she demanded. |
11328 | Would it be a grizzly, John? |
11328 | Would you mind telling me? |
11328 | You ai n''t seen or heard anything, Johnny? |
11328 | You are going to Tête Jaune? |
11328 | You are new? |
11328 | You are no longer afraid, Ladygray? 11328 You are not afraid of-- death?" |
11328 | You believe that? |
11328 | You do n''t mean, John-- there''s more about Quade-- and Culver Rann? |
11328 | You do n''t think I''m sellin''myself, do you, Aldous? |
11328 | You figger they''ll get away with DeBar? |
11328 | You found Jane? |
11328 | You have lived that life, Ladygray? |
11328 | You have made a mistake? |
11328 | You have no husband-- no brother----"What place is this? |
11328 | You have seen it? |
11328 | You mean on the adventure you were telling me about? |
11328 | You mean that you will kill him? |
11328 | You remember what you told me, Johnny, that you''d play the game fair, and give''em a first chance? 11328 You see the little cabin-- nearest the river?" |
11328 | You sick? |
11328 | You still believe that I will be unable to take care of myself up at this terrible Tête Jaune? |
11328 | You think they will show up to- morrow? |
11328 | You will excuse me, wo n''t you, while I finish my hair? |
11328 | You will make yourself at home while I am gone, wo n''t you? |
11328 | You wo n''t fight-- over the gold? |
11328 | You would be my wife? |
11328 | You''d take her along? |
11328 | You''ll be there, Mac-- in front of the Blacktons''--just as it''s growing light? |
11328 | You''re sure of it, Peter? |
11328 | You''ve discovered something to- day? |
11328 | A few minutes later, when Aldous was saying good- night to MacDonald, the old hunter said again, in a whisper:"Now what do''ee think, Johnny?" |
11328 | After all, was it so strange that Quade would do these things? |
11328 | After local colour?" |
11328 | Am I a curiosity?" |
11328 | And I should play up to my part, should n''t I? |
11328 | And I''m wondering----""If I''m going to choke, too?" |
11328 | And by whom? |
11328 | And does he want you to do this pretty job because I gave him a crack on the jaw?" |
11328 | And if alive? |
11328 | And if, through years and years, I faced those things with my father, do you suppose that I want to be left behind now, and by my husband?" |
11328 | And if-- if she goes I ca n''t very well follow her, can I, Mac?" |
11328 | And it makes the game most eminently fair, does n''t it?" |
11328 | And our outfit? |
11328 | And then----""Well?" |
11328 | And was Quade actually planning the same end for him and Joanne? |
11328 | And was their assassination the first step in a plot to secure possession of the treasure? |
11328 | And what reason could this Culver Rann have for doing him injury? |
11328 | And why was she going to Tête Jaune? |
11328 | And wo n''t you let me remind you that we''re getting a long way from what I want to know-- about your trip into the North?" |
11328 | And you-- Donald?" |
11328 | And, even though he kept the truth from her until Mortimer FitzHugh was dead, would he be playing fair with her? |
11328 | Are these great, big, beautiful mountains more treacherous than those Ceylon jungles from which you ran away-- even you, John? |
11328 | Are they all drowned?" |
11328 | Are they more terrible to live in than the Great African Desert? |
11328 | Are you cold? |
11328 | Are you glad?" |
11328 | Are you in on this with me?" |
11328 | Are you ready?" |
11328 | Are your bears worse than tigers, your wolves more terrible than lions? |
11328 | As they entered the bungalow, Aldous whispered to Joanne:"Will you please go right to your room, dear? |
11328 | At last he heard her say:"Where is Donald?" |
11328 | Be you a man, Johnny?" |
11328 | Besides----""What?" |
11328 | But could he keep Joanne from guessing? |
11328 | But had Joe DeBar, the half- breed, actually betrayed them? |
11328 | But most of''em have come over, ai n''t they, Culver? |
11328 | But what the devil_ is_ the trouble?" |
11328 | But why did you run? |
11328 | But why does Donald talk as though we are_ surely_ going to be attacked by them, or are_ surely_ going to attack them? |
11328 | But why, he asked himself again and again, should Culver Rann want to kill him? |
11328 | But-- what you goin''to do?" |
11328 | But-- will you?" |
11328 | By_ what?_ A little fiercely he packed his pipe with fresh tobacco. |
11328 | Ca n''t you understand plain English, Stevens? |
11328 | Could he keep her from discovering the truth until it was time for her to know that truth? |
11328 | Could he keep that terrible truth from her? |
11328 | Curious old ghost, is n''t he?" |
11328 | Curly?" |
11328 | D''ye think I''m blind? |
11328 | Dammit, man, do n''t you know his system? |
11328 | Did you pick up any of the little red bloodshells? |
11328 | Do n''t say anything to Joanne, but bring him to the house right away, will you?" |
11328 | Do n''t you believe a man when he''s a gentleman? |
11328 | Do n''t you see that I ca n''t? |
11328 | Do n''t you understand? |
11328 | Do you ask me why I go now? |
11328 | Do you mean to tell me you''re on the square when you offer to turn over a half of your share in the gold if I help you to get this woman?" |
11328 | Do you mind if I tell him to come back and ride with you for a while?" |
11328 | Do you see that black base of the mountain yonder?--right there where you can see men moving about? |
11328 | Do you want to be square enough to give me a word?" |
11328 | Eh, Johnny?" |
11328 | Eh? |
11328 | Find the coffee, will you? |
11328 | Get out your emergency kit, will you? |
11328 | Had Culver Rann discovered the secret mission on which he and the old mountaineer were going into the North? |
11328 | Had he learned of the gold-- where it was to be found? |
11328 | Had he sold himself to Culver Rann, and did Rann hold the key to the secret expedition they had planned into the North? |
11328 | Have I made you feel that?" |
11328 | Have you?" |
11328 | He added, smiling straight into the other''s eyes,"What are you doing up here, Aldous? |
11328 | He would n''t say Ladygray as if she wore a coronet, would he?" |
11328 | How did you know?" |
11328 | How much do you want a head?" |
11328 | How the devil am I going to get out of it?" |
11328 | How will a four o''clock breakfast suit you?" |
11328 | How would Quade, who was mad for possession of Joanne, accept FitzHugh''s claim of ownership? |
11328 | I suppose you know what a salted mine is, Ladygray? |
11328 | If she had seen a bear in the fire- glow she would n''t have thought it was Mortimer FitzHugh, would she? |
11328 | If she went with him into the North, would she not guess? |
11328 | If they found Joanne''s husband alive at Tête Jaune-- what then? |
11328 | If you do----""What will happen?" |
11328 | If you were afraid of snakes, why did you go up the Gampola, in Ceylon?" |
11328 | Is it a bargain?" |
11328 | Is it ready?" |
11328 | Is it very remarkable that you do not find me happy, Mac? |
11328 | Is that suspicious, or ai n''t it? |
11328 | Is there a hotel here?" |
11328 | It had that peculiar effect on us, did n''t it, Peggy?" |
11328 | It was a terribly close shave, was n''t it?" |
11328 | It was n''t a pretty sight, was it?" |
11328 | John, dear, are n''t you going to mind me?" |
11328 | John?" |
11328 | Lord bless me, did you hear them last night-- after you went to bed?" |
11328 | May I sit with you for a few minutes? |
11328 | My God, I did n''t make you think_ that?_""I''m a stranger-- and they say women do n''t go to Tête Jaune alone,"she answered doubtfully. |
11328 | Need I tell you that I worshipped him-- that to me he was king of all men? |
11328 | Now how the deuce can I explain going through a window like a gentleman?" |
11328 | Now, if some one were to touch off those explosives at this minute---- What''s the matter, Peggy? |
11328 | Now, yo''fool, what have yo''gone an''done?" |
11328 | On the other hand, was this arrangement fair to Joanne, even though it gave him the chance to square up accounts with Quade? |
11328 | Only----""What?" |
11328 | Otto?" |
11328 | Otto?" |
11328 | Perhaps it is this-- your desire for adventure-- that makes you want to go with me to Tête Jaune?" |
11328 | Perhaps it was imagination that made him think there was a slight tremble in her voice when she said:"This-- is the place?" |
11328 | Quade has a tremendous amount of nerve, setting Slim to follow her, has n''t he? |
11328 | See that bunch of spruce over there?" |
11328 | See the point, Johnny? |
11328 | See them thick spruce an''cedar over there? |
11328 | Shall I move out there?" |
11328 | So am I. I hope----""What do you hope?" |
11328 | So why crave riches, then? |
11328 | Then Quade asked:"Any need of writin'', Culver?" |
11328 | Then he said,"You''re thinkin''of me, Johnny, an''what we was planning on?" |
11328 | Then he said:"Do you see that break over there across the plain? |
11328 | Then he said:"You''re sure of all this, are you, Donald? |
11328 | Then she said, very softly:"And why do you think that will displease me, John, dear? |
11328 | Then why do you go for this gold? |
11328 | There''s nothing in that hand, is there?" |
11328 | They asked themselves no questions-- why the"coyote"had not been fired? |
11328 | They have all asked the same question: Why do you not write of the good things in women instead of always the bad? |
11328 | They''re going to kill us?" |
11328 | To him it will be-- what? |
11328 | Understand?" |
11328 | Was Stevens right in that detail? |
11328 | Was he lying in wait for him near the cabin? |
11328 | Was he mad? |
11328 | Was it again to play its part in a terrible drama of men''s lives, as it had played it more than forty years ago? |
11328 | Was it possible that there might be some other opening-- a possible exit-- in that mountain wall? |
11328 | Was it right for him to take Joanne to his cabin at all? |
11328 | Was n''t that funny? |
11328 | Was that thought in Joanne''s mind, too? |
11328 | Was the old tragedy of it to be lived over again? |
11328 | We were going adventuring, were n''t we? |
11328 | What are you going to do meantime, Aldous?" |
11328 | What can I do? |
11328 | What could be her mission at Tête Jaune Cache? |
11328 | What do you say?" |
11328 | What do you think of_ that_, Aldous? |
11328 | What is it?" |
11328 | What time is it, John?" |
11328 | What was the deeper significance of this visit to the grave, and of her mission in the mountains? |
11328 | Where had she come from? |
11328 | Where is Joanne?" |
11328 | Who shot you? |
11328 | Who was she? |
11328 | Who was this Joanne Gray? |
11328 | Why I shall fight, if fighting there must be?" |
11328 | Why did n''t they jump on us when they had the chance?" |
11328 | Why did n''t you stay and fight?" |
11328 | Why did you warn me?" |
11328 | Why do they stare at me so? |
11328 | Why do you run the risk? |
11328 | Why do you want me to lie here when I''m strong like an ox, as Donald says?" |
11328 | Why had Joanne not confided more fully in him? |
11328 | Why had Quade stolen on ahead to Tête Jaune? |
11328 | Why had he not waited for to- morrow''s train? |
11328 | Why not have these friends meet them at the train and take Joanne direct to their house? |
11328 | Why should FitzHugh come over into this valley alone? |
11328 | Why should n''t I be, if I know that you are in danger?" |
11328 | Why should they follow us-- if we leave them everything? |
11328 | Why should they, John? |
11328 | Why, John, do n''t you see, do n''t you understand? |
11328 | Will that be too much trouble for you and your wife?" |
11328 | Will you agree to that?" |
11328 | Will you believe me? |
11328 | Will you excuse me while I pick up a few things that I want to take on to Tête Jaune with me?" |
11328 | Will you leave''em to me?" |
11328 | Will you let me be a friend, if you need a friend?" |
11328 | Will you please hurry me to it, John Aldous?" |
11328 | Will you tell her that?" |
11328 | Will you, Mac? |
11328 | Will you? |
11328 | Will you?" |
11328 | Without knowing, seeing me only as you have seen me, do you think that I am terrible?" |
11328 | Would he believe his partner? |
11328 | Would he even believe Joanne if, to save herself from him, she told him FitzHugh was her husband? |
11328 | Would you try to cross?" |
11328 | Yo''ca n''t very well miss a man at a hunderd yards, Johnny?" |
11328 | Yo''re sure-- there ai n''t no one following?" |
11328 | You ai n''t figgerin''on that now, be you?" |
11328 | You are going to tell me that?" |
11328 | You can imagine a lover saying''Dear little_ Lady_gray, are you warm and comfy?'' |
11328 | You did n''t mean-- that?" |
11328 | You do n''t believe in concealing your thoughts out here in the wilderness, do you?" |
11328 | You do n''t think it is immodest for me to say these things to my husband, John-- even if I have only known him three days?" |
11328 | You have good proof-- that Joe has turned traitor?" |
11328 | You have n''t heard-- about the bear?" |
11328 | You know every mountain and trail about the place, do n''t you?" |
11328 | You remember Stimson?" |
11328 | You see the system, Johnny? |
11328 | You will come early?" |
11328 | You would n''t guess that for more than forty years that blessed old wanderer ahead of us has loved a dead woman, would you? |
11328 | You would n''t leave me among them, would you?" |
11328 | You would not have forgotten that, John-- or have grown tired?" |
11328 | You''re going to be polite enough to accept, are n''t you?" |
11328 | _ Is n''t_ it funny?" |
11328 | gang has done?" |
29266 | A woman out there, eh? 29266 Ah,"replied Millicent sharply,"did n''t you tell me that they were worth sixteen shillings not very long ago? |
29266 | All that is outside the question-- what can we do? |
29266 | Am I not harassed sufficiently? 29266 And their expert would n''t see that fault?" |
29266 | And what became of the lady? |
29266 | And you like it? 29266 Another second would have done it-- did I heave him clear?" |
29266 | Are you coming to torment me about that confounded thing? 29266 Are you mad, Julius?" |
29266 | Auntie, you will see to father-- he has been better lately-- for just a little while, will not you? |
29266 | But did n''t you get a dollar from Graham yesterday? 29266 But if you know the man, and it''s so easy, why not make the bet yourself?" |
29266 | But might n''t he try the same game again? |
29266 | But why do you ask me? |
29266 | But will the end or dominant purpose justify all this? |
29266 | Ca n''t you speak? |
29266 | Can you drive over to my quarters now? |
29266 | Can you make your dykes stand water at all? |
29266 | Can you not guess how hard it all is for me? |
29266 | Can you tell me, Mr. Nelson, who is Coralie? |
29266 | Certainly not, if you can put up with my company; but where is your husband? |
29266 | Could she not have waited? |
29266 | Dare I ask, sir, what the trouble was? |
29266 | Did any of your own men do it? |
29266 | Did he say Mr. Graham hired him? |
29266 | Did my husband tell you that when we were in England, we were held up by a storm there one night in your ancestral home? 29266 Did they mention what Geoffrey had been doing?" |
29266 | Did you fall or jump in? |
29266 | Did you know that it was Mrs. Leslie Geoffrey should have married? |
29266 | Did you lynch the miscreant in accordance with the traditional customs of the West, or how did Mr. Thurston punish him? 29266 Did you notice how I had the path graded as you went down?" |
29266 | Did you suppose that I would sell my benefactor, for that is what it amounts to? 29266 Do I think he is out of danger? |
29266 | Do you consider the timbering specified here sufficient for the strain? |
29266 | Do you know that you have not answered my last question, nor spoken a word for the last ten minutes? |
29266 | Do you know their wages equal the figure the strikers demanded and you refused to pay? 29266 Do you mean a professional soothsayer?" |
29266 | Do you mind telling me how long it is since you or anybody else has used this path, Miss Savine? |
29266 | Do you remember what I once told you at Graham''s ranch? |
29266 | Do you think he would care to meet you? |
29266 | Do you think women are utterly foolish, or that they converse about dams and earthworks? |
29266 | Had you not better rest until to- morrow, sir? |
29266 | Hallo, is it you, Evans? |
29266 | Hardly an original observation, is it? 29266 Has Savine bought up the whole province, Government and all? |
29266 | Has Thurston come into town yet? 29266 Has a dark- faced thief in a plug hat with two holes in the top of it, gone out on the cars?" |
29266 | Have I displeased you? |
29266 | Have n''t you read the letter I sent you? 29266 Have these woods no charm for you, or are you regretting the cigarbox beneath the cedar?" |
29266 | Have you not been happy in-- Canada, Millicent? |
29266 | He was in the drilling gang, Tom? |
29266 | Helen, why do n''t you hunt round for that bottle? |
29266 | How did that happen? |
29266 | How do I know? |
29266 | How many years do you figure on keeping us waiting? |
29266 | How much did the explosives cost you? |
29266 | Hurt bad? |
29266 | I catch on-- correct phrase, is n''t it? |
29266 | I do n''t understand,said Thurston, and Savine answered:"No? |
29266 | I have told Mr. Thurston-- that is, I have tried to warn him that he was expecting the impossible, and what more could I do? 29266 I presume you do not wish me to swallow it immediately?" |
29266 | I suppose he has the money? |
29266 | I suppose you could n''t very well explain that it was Geoffrey who threw you over? 29266 I suppose you have n''t seen old Anthony Thurston since you married Leslie? |
29266 | If you will excuse me, is not that beside the question? 29266 Is it right to judge so hastily?" |
29266 | Is n''t it enough that you presume to read my private correspondence? 29266 Is n''t it somewhat late in the day?" |
29266 | Is n''t that the man who wanted you to marry Thurston, and when you disappointed him washed his hands of both of you? |
29266 | Is not all this beside the question? |
29266 | Is that not a cruel plan of action, and is there no room for a gentler policy in your profession? 29266 Is there any place fit to sit in at the saloon yonder?" |
29266 | Is there no limit to your interference or presumption? |
29266 | Is there nobody who will give you a start again? 29266 It was good of you to come, Geoffrey,"he said;"How are you getting on in the cañon?" |
29266 | It would n''t have counted for much with you? |
29266 | Knowing this, you will all be very loyal to him? |
29266 | Leslie passed her up the gangway,said another man, adding, with a suggestive laugh as he answered another question:"Why did he do it? |
29266 | Maybe you met the master in British Columbia? |
29266 | No use letting any ugly tales get round or raking up that other story, is it? 29266 Now, what the devil tempted me to ruin all my prospects by marrying that woman?" |
29266 | Orchard City, or was it Orchardville? 29266 Say, had n''t you better help us heave him in some place where he can sleep, unless you''d prefer to keep him as an advertisement?" |
29266 | So, if it is not an intrusion, may I ask if any of those border warriors were remarkable for deeds of self- abnegation or charity? |
29266 | Still, can anybody avoid the results of those shortcomings or virtues? |
29266 | Suppose in desperation I turned round on you? |
29266 | Suppose it was I who found the drawing? 29266 Suppose we refuse?" |
29266 | The investing public understands that, does n''t it? 29266 The question is, however-- What do you want with me?" |
29266 | The terms? |
29266 | Then what are we to do? |
29266 | Then why ca n''t you confine your efforts to the men? 29266 Then why do you try?" |
29266 | Uncommonly glad to see you; but whatever brought you back to this far- off land again? |
29266 | Wantee someling, sah? |
29266 | We will, as I say, shelter Mrs. Leslie, and, since you insist, will you ask your assistant to accompany me? |
29266 | Well, how are you getting on up in the valley? |
29266 | Well? |
29266 | Well? |
29266 | Were there no openings for a live man in the Old Country, and have you told me all? |
29266 | What are you doing here at such an hour with this man, Millicent? |
29266 | What are you doing it for? |
29266 | What are you puzzling over, Geoffrey? |
29266 | What do you think of my new assistant, Helen? |
29266 | What has gone wrong? 29266 What has happened to me, and is he learning quickly or growing strangely timid?" |
29266 | What has happened to you? |
29266 | What in the name of thunder do you mean by turning your infernal river loose on my ranch? |
29266 | What is his full name, and what is he like? |
29266 | What is it we pay taxes to keep you fellows for? 29266 What is it, Harry?" |
29266 | What is the matter? 29266 What made you bolt from here, and what do you want from me? |
29266 | What part of Canada? |
29266 | What''s the matter now, Millicent? 29266 What''s the matter with trying again, and keeping on trying? |
29266 | Where have all my logs gone to? |
29266 | Where have you hidden my wife? 29266 Where shall I begin?" |
29266 | Who is the little man next to Walla Jake? |
29266 | Who on earth could it be? |
29266 | Who was the lady? 29266 Who, in the name of perdition, would lend me the money? |
29266 | Why did he do so? |
29266 | Why did n''t you come in two minutes earlier, Tom? |
29266 | Why did n''t you talk yesterday morning? |
29266 | Why did you do that-- now? |
29266 | Why did you speak to that poor man so cruelly? |
29266 | Why do you let him? |
29266 | Why should I press him? |
29266 | Why should this fancy spoil your life for you? |
29266 | Why should you ask me? 29266 Why should you make yourself intolerable?" |
29266 | Why? 29266 Why?" |
29266 | Will you believe me if I say that I lately ran some risk to bring Mr. Thurston a much- needed warning? 29266 Will you believe not only that I sympathize, but that I would gladly have given all I possess to save you from this shock?" |
29266 | Would it be any use for me to say that I shall miss you? |
29266 | Would it be of any use if you explained the trouble to him? |
29266 | Would it hurt the machine if I stood it upon its head, Miss Savine? |
29266 | Would you care to hold a rock drill, or swing a sledge instead? |
29266 | Would you have expected him to write? |
29266 | Would you have me a thief? |
29266 | You do n''t figure they''re capable of wrecking the bridge? |
29266 | You do n''t suppose I''ve suddenly grown helpless, do you? |
29266 | You fixed it all right? |
29266 | You wo n''t fail to come back as soon as ever you can-- say the day after to- morrow? |
29266 | You would not like to be poor again, Millicent? |
29266 | Your explanation is not quite lucid, but how could I get at the truth? |
29266 | After all, what more could I look for? |
29266 | After giving you all the best for a tithe of its future value, where do we come in?" |
29266 | Ah, again!--what the devil are you wanting?" |
29266 | And you understand the relations existing between Miss Austin and me? |
29266 | And you''ll kindly tell us, miss, you saw him again?" |
29266 | Any particular reason why you should n''t start in to- day? |
29266 | Anything strike you yet?" |
29266 | Anything the matter with filling it up with me?" |
29266 | Are my sympathies needed, Halliday-- any of my new friends over yonder dead?" |
29266 | Are you figuring we brought you here to admire the scenery?" |
29266 | Are you happy with him out there? |
29266 | Are you pleading his cause, Halliday? |
29266 | Are you still certain you can get the work done before the winter''s through?" |
29266 | Are you sure it was n''t a wind- blown log?" |
29266 | As a favor, would you hire your chopping gang to me for a few days? |
29266 | As soon as the river falls, we''ll run off the water, measure up the flooded land, and pay you current price? |
29266 | Black''s outer appearance suggested a degree of prosperity, but his face was anxious as he said,"I guess you''re surprised to see me?" |
29266 | Bransome, as if glad to change the subject, asked:"Say, after you had fired the fuse what did you waste precious seconds looking for? |
29266 | But a last favor-- you will not tell Harry where I have gone until I am safely on my way to England?" |
29266 | But how could any woman compare him with you?" |
29266 | But how do you know you are not repeating the same mistake? |
29266 | But say, what''s the matter with your respected chief? |
29266 | But see here, what made you turn a two- hundred- foot red fir loose among them?" |
29266 | But we like straight talking-- what if the dykes keep on bursting?" |
29266 | But what do you think of our latest acquisition?" |
29266 | But why ca n''t you be honest and own that the display we make is part of your programme? |
29266 | But why do you ask?" |
29266 | But you''ll come back sure, and not lose any of them drills?" |
29266 | But, naturally, you will not care to hear about this?" |
29266 | By the way, partner, you helped your boss to pull me out, did n''t you? |
29266 | Ca n''t you believe your ears?" |
29266 | Ca n''t you really give me anything easier?" |
29266 | Ca n''t you see the river will tear all this part of the dyke away unless we equalize the pressure on both sides of it? |
29266 | Ca n''t you strike nothing better down to the cities?" |
29266 | Ca n''t you tell me where Mr. Forsyth lives?" |
29266 | Ca n''t you think of anything that might be done?" |
29266 | Call it a deal-- and, to change the subject, where''s the man you sent up to worry Thurston?" |
29266 | Can we not go around?" |
29266 | Can you hold up a minute while I''tend to the horse?" |
29266 | Can you not enlighten me?" |
29266 | Can you not take my answer without the reasons?" |
29266 | Catch on to the idee?" |
29266 | Could n''t you get him to stay to dinner and talk over the way they''ve invested your legacy?" |
29266 | Curious kind of creature, is n''t he?" |
29266 | Did I mention that one of the party was a girl?" |
29266 | Did I not say that I am one of Mr. Thurston''s oldest friends? |
29266 | Did n''t write before because----""What is it? |
29266 | Did you ask me here that your relatives might poison me, Savine?''" |
29266 | Did you consider her happy when you saw her in Canada?" |
29266 | Did you find that the amount I mentioned would cover the wages through the winter?" |
29266 | Did you hear that he put every dollar he''d made in Canada into the scheme? |
29266 | Did you know the opposition wanted to buy Geoffrey over, paying him two dollars for every one he could have made out of your father?" |
29266 | Did you send a man down to keep watch to- night?" |
29266 | Did you suppose I could do nothing? |
29266 | Didst see Black Jim slip out this way, or hear a scream a laal while gone by?" |
29266 | Do n''t know of any? |
29266 | Do you bring bad news? |
29266 | Do you get no English papers?" |
29266 | Do you know all that man is doing for you? |
29266 | Do you know how much I owe half the stores in this city, Harry?" |
29266 | Do you remember your last bold prediction?" |
29266 | Do you think the rest of the boys have heard us, Tom?" |
29266 | Do you want two?" |
29266 | Does that influence you?" |
29266 | Enjoyed yourself, eh?" |
29266 | For instance, would you let me know what you think of these specifications?" |
29266 | For instance?" |
29266 | Geoffrey rising to the occasion, said:"Did you ever hear the story of the first contract I undertook in British Columbia, sir? |
29266 | Gray?" |
29266 | Has he been stealing something?" |
29266 | Has something upset your usually pacific temper?" |
29266 | Have I not heaped injury upon you?" |
29266 | Have more of your dams burst, up yonder? |
29266 | Have some of your titled relatives in the old country left you a fortune?" |
29266 | Have you any cider in your wagon?" |
29266 | Have you any more such dutiful things to say?" |
29266 | Have you got a pencil?" |
29266 | Have you had the ponies long?" |
29266 | Have you no further ambition, and do you like it?" |
29266 | Have you not failed in one or two of your efforts?" |
29266 | He did not answer until his wife said:"Did n''t you hear Mrs. Leslie''s question, Charley? |
29266 | He left you?" |
29266 | He said he was coming, did he not?" |
29266 | He stared down at the river for several minutes before he asked:"Have you any reason to believe that Helen reciprocates the attachment?" |
29266 | He was a leal, hard man, and what was a light woman''s greediness to him?" |
29266 | Heavens, what prompted me to drivel in that style?" |
29266 | Helen answered:"I am sorry it is so-- but why should I pain you? |
29266 | Helen asked but one question,"You risked your life to tell him this?" |
29266 | How could I help you to chase wild cattle? |
29266 | How could I hope to win you-- as it were for the asking-- easily? |
29266 | How could I resent anything you might either say or do? |
29266 | How did you address your letter?" |
29266 | How do you know I have n''t a pistol in my pocket, if it was any use turning ugly?" |
29266 | How does the whole thing strike you?" |
29266 | How far would anyone count dollars in comparison with Miss Savine? |
29266 | How have you discharged yours to me?" |
29266 | How is it you have n''t come over to see us yet?" |
29266 | How long have you made head against your inherited failings?" |
29266 | How much are you asking, no cure no pay, I finding tools and material? |
29266 | How much did the extra work cost you?" |
29266 | How should I face your father if anything unfortunate happened?" |
29266 | However, to change the subject, is it fair to hold any man responsible for his ancestors''shortcomings? |
29266 | I could afford to be decent? |
29266 | I could also give him instructions without the authority of a board meeting, see? |
29266 | I feel almost frightened sometimes lest he will force me to yield against my will, but you know that would be a wrong to him-- and what can I do?" |
29266 | I have never spoken of these things to anyone before, and though it has comforted me, you wo n''t remind me-- will you?" |
29266 | I hope the dose was not particularly nasty?" |
29266 | I presume you do not mean a real one, and are speaking figuratively?" |
29266 | I presume you have a draughtsman?" |
29266 | I suppose it''s one effect of living in London?" |
29266 | I suppose you have n''t heard from him since he went to Canada?" |
29266 | I''m not fond of being left out in the rain with the losing side, either, see? |
29266 | I----"Mrs. Savine, leaning forward, took her niece''s hands in her own, saying gravely,"Are you certain it is quite impossible?" |
29266 | If I am abrupt you will forgive me, but will you listen a few moments, and then answer me a question?" |
29266 | If you ca n''t hold up that river, where are we going to be? |
29266 | In reality you finished with Geoffrey when he decided to emigrate instead of selling the mine, did n''t you?" |
29266 | Is it the hot weather, or are you troubled about the conference to- night?" |
29266 | Is it the same promise as before?" |
29266 | Is n''t he good enough for you?" |
29266 | Is n''t that so, gentlemen? |
29266 | Is n''t this a beautiful view? |
29266 | Is that fellow yonder coming?" |
29266 | Is the other difference between us too great-- the distance dividing the man you gave the dollar to from the daughter of Julius Savine?" |
29266 | Is there any sign of the dog- cart yet? |
29266 | Is there no limit to the price I must pay for my folly? |
29266 | Is there nobody in this settlement with courage enough to help me?" |
29266 | Is there nothing I can say that will prevent you?" |
29266 | Is what I hope for quite impossible?" |
29266 | It is characteristic of you, Geoffrey, to play out a losing game, but, with one''s future at stake, is it wise?" |
29266 | It was good soil and maples I went up to see, and how the---- can anybody raise crops off the big stones thou sold me? |
29266 | It''s practically the whole of the first dole your skinflint trustee made you, is n''t it?" |
29266 | It''s rather more than you bargained for, but will you stand by me, Tom?" |
29266 | Leslie?" |
29266 | Leslie?" |
29266 | Leslie?" |
29266 | Looking for work, perhaps?" |
29266 | Looking up with a twinkle in his eye, he asked:"Have you been acquiring riches latterly? |
29266 | Made the best bargain for your time I could, but I did n''t buy you up bones and body-- see?" |
29266 | May I ask where you got the ideas?" |
29266 | May I ask your names?" |
29266 | May I tell it to your father, Miss Savine?" |
29266 | May I wish you all prosperity in your career?" |
29266 | May we ask accordingly how it came into your possession?" |
29266 | Might I recommend a brandy- and- soda, one of those Cubanos, and confidence? |
29266 | Might I suggest socketed timbers? |
29266 | Millicent glanced at him sideways, and, as if anxious to change the subject, asked:"Is it the Orchard Valley you are endeavoring to reclaim? |
29266 | Millicent, you, at least, are not a coward-- dare you give it me?" |
29266 | Must the weak always be trampled out of existence?" |
29266 | Need I explain further?" |
29266 | No doubt you have seen her, and, like all the rest, admire her?" |
29266 | Not feeling spry this morning, or is it hot water you''re waiting for?" |
29266 | Not found that galena yet? |
29266 | Now you have got them, is n''t it slightly unfair to blame me because you were willing to earn them?" |
29266 | Now, I presume, she has pledged herself to you?" |
29266 | Now, suppose we made you a fair offer, would you join us?" |
29266 | Now-- and I want a straight answer-- why did you leave the Old Country?" |
29266 | Of course, he would take the stereotyped view that it was all my fault-- that is to say, that I had discarded Geoffrey?" |
29266 | Savine, who had been abstractedly watching the mad rush of the stream, looked up as he inquired:"What is the condition? |
29266 | Savine?" |
29266 | Savine?" |
29266 | Say, has the trestle caved in, or what in the name of thunder is holding us up?" |
29266 | See here, Geoffrey, I feel you have had bad trouble; is n''t it a little mean not to tell me? |
29266 | See what he''s after? |
29266 | Shall I get down and bring you some water, Millicent? |
29266 | She leaves shortly, does the not? |
29266 | She paused a second, and, with an assumed carelessness, added,"is n''t it useless to forecast the future?" |
29266 | She rose, facing the speaker with an almost breathless"How dare you? |
29266 | So in my distress I must stoop to ask you, for his sake, what I can do?" |
29266 | Still accidents of that description must be fairly common where the mountain roads are bad?" |
29266 | Still, I suppose you must have the money, Harry?" |
29266 | Still, I would ask again, are these all your reasons? |
29266 | Still, though I am painfully conscious of many possible reasons, may I venture to ask why it is impossible, Miss Savine?" |
29266 | Such regrets are, however, generally useless, are they not? |
29266 | That sounds like presumption, does n''t it? |
29266 | That would stop half the work in camp? |
29266 | That''s the crank who wanted to run your lake down, is n''t he? |
29266 | The cold- blooded brute''s in the maintenance gang?" |
29266 | The first question is, what kin you do?" |
29266 | The main thing we wish to discover is, are you willing to consider an offer of the position?" |
29266 | The only worry is, can we depend upon the fellow I laid the odds with?" |
29266 | Then he looked straight at Leslie, and there was a moment''s silence before he asked,"How much does Mrs. Leslie know about your business?" |
29266 | Then when you''re cleaned out where''ll I be? |
29266 | Then, raising her head, she answered:"Have I not told you so? |
29266 | There will be only time to catch the Allan boat, you say, and once the train leaves this station nobody could overtake me?" |
29266 | Thurston?" |
29266 | Thurston?" |
29266 | Thurston?" |
29266 | Thurston?" |
29266 | Thurston?" |
29266 | To look the other way when the rich man winks, and stand by seeing nothing while he ruins poor settlers''hard- won holdings? |
29266 | Turning to Leslie he asked:"But are you struck dumb that you let the woman speak? |
29266 | Very interesting place, is n''t it, Mr. Thurston? |
29266 | Was that one of the former owners? |
29266 | We do not think over here quite as you do in England, and if we did, are you not a Thurston of Crosbie? |
29266 | Went his own way in spite of me-- he is my kinsman, what should I expect of him? |
29266 | What I say sounds very selfish, does n''t it-- but you will come?" |
29266 | What I wished for might n''t follow then? |
29266 | What are either worth to me when the one thing I would sell my life for is, you have told me, not to be attained?" |
29266 | What are you after now? |
29266 | What are you doing over here, Geoffrey?" |
29266 | What can I tempt my father with for supper?" |
29266 | What carpenters made it?" |
29266 | What do you think?" |
29266 | What for? |
29266 | What kind of a stiff do you call yourself? |
29266 | What on earth could my kinsman have been thinking of when he forced it upon me of all men?" |
29266 | What''s the matter with turning his contract up and going over to fill oat bags for me?" |
29266 | What''s the matter with you? |
29266 | What''s the use of raising hay and potatoes for the river to wash away? |
29266 | When are you going to stop it, Leslie?" |
29266 | When he''s had two crops ruined, a man begins to get uneasy about the third one-- see?" |
29266 | When one gets more than his due share of this world''s good things, he must generally pay for it-- see? |
29266 | When will you men learn that a woman''s discretion is at least equal to your own?" |
29266 | Where''s Mattawa Tom?" |
29266 | Where''s my wife?" |
29266 | Wherein lies the bravery? |
29266 | Which of the operations should I undertake first?" |
29266 | While, with curiosity excited, Millicent listened, a companion broke in:"Where''s Mr. Leslie? |
29266 | Who and what is she?" |
29266 | Who is Coralie?" |
29266 | Why did he do so?" |
29266 | Why did n''t you sell them then?" |
29266 | Why do n''t you British dukes stop right back in your own country where folks touch their hats to you? |
29266 | Why do you stand there? |
29266 | Will you advance me a dollar, on account of wages, so that I can discharge a debt to the storekeeper?" |
29266 | Will you listen to what I have to say?" |
29266 | Will you not tell me frankly what you fear?" |
29266 | Will you not tell me?" |
29266 | Will you receive Mrs. Leslie until I have seen her and arranged for her return? |
29266 | With a flash in her eyes, she added:"How dare you once offer what you did to a woman you had no trust in?" |
29266 | With assumed indifference in her voice Millicent asked:"What kind of people were they?" |
29266 | Wo n''t you let me drive you?" |
29266 | Would that make any difference? |
29266 | Would you care to inspect it and carry this basket for me?" |
29266 | Would you, as a favor to me, persuade him to return home with you?" |
29266 | Yes? |
29266 | Yes? |
29266 | You are not going away?" |
29266 | You are sure she will come to- night?" |
29266 | You ca n''t have a great many dollars left either-- see?" |
29266 | You can find happiness in the hard life?" |
29266 | You feel quite certain you can do it?" |
29266 | You have been here a week, have n''t you? |
29266 | You heard of the financial disaster which overtook us? |
29266 | You really looked so-- and how was I to know?" |
29266 | You remember, the last time we met, suggesting that I was fortunate in having no enemies among the mountains?" |
29266 | You said you could blow a channel through the rocks that hold up the outlet, did n''t you?" |
29266 | You saw the outfit he came in with? |
29266 | You say that, if you go deeper, your firm might still wind up just solvent; then why not abandon the apparently hopeless project, and withdraw? |
29266 | You see that pattern? |
29266 | You were going to Mr. Thurston''s camp?" |
29266 | You will agree with them, will you not?" |
29266 | You will help me?" |
29266 | You will write to me when you have settled your plans?" |
29266 | You''re getting tired-- no? |
29266 | Young man, will you kindly get us a railroad schedule?" |
29266 | Your husband treats you ill?" |
29266 | he asked impatiently, adding somewhat awkwardly,"Did Mrs. Leslie explain why she wanted to see me so particularly?" |
29266 | he asked, and Shackleby stroked his mustache meditatively before he made answer:"Do n''t you think that would be foolish? |
29266 | said the foreman, returning; and Geoffrey asked:"How did it happen?" |
29266 | who is the stranger?" |
18182 | ''Ave ye taken the hoath of hallegiance, sir? |
18182 | A message to me? |
18182 | A nunnery? |
18182 | Afraid? |
18182 | After communion? |
18182 | Ah? |
18182 | Am I a prisoner? |
18182 | Am I not grown tall? |
18182 | Am I to be shot? 18182 Am I to be shot?" |
18182 | An the French reward us not well for this winter''s work, that little maid may open a door back to England; eh, kinsman? |
18182 | An your fine gentlemen grow rich that way, why may n''t I? |
18182 | And I suppose you will be telling me there are no Indians up there among the rafters? |
18182 | And how comes Your Excellency to be out so late with ten men? |
18182 | And how he risked his life to save an Indian girl''s life? |
18182 | And now,said he, hastening through the bush,"as no one took fright at all that firing, what''s to hinder examining the ship?" |
18182 | And the end? |
18182 | And the marines? |
18182 | And the officers? |
18182 | And what are you going to do? |
18182 | And what does Mistress Hortense say? |
18182 | And what might this young man want? |
18182 | And what might you want, stealing up like a thief in the night? |
18182 | And what,he demanded,"what doth a little cavalier in a Puritan hotbed?" |
18182 | And who is that? |
18182 | And who is this? |
18182 | And who would find a husband for a portionless bride? |
18182 | And your French mind? |
18182 | And-- and-- all the officers were there on the Sabbath? |
18182 | Anything else? |
18182 | Are they gone? |
18182 | Are you jealous of anything so small? |
18182 | Are you son o''the Stanhope that fought on the king''s side? |
18182 | Are you sure there''s nothing? |
18182 | As long as she gets it, what does it matter who takes it? |
18182 | Aye, and as I have some rare furs for them both, why not let us bear the news to them ourselves? |
18182 | Back? |
18182 | Be_ he_ fairer than the day Or the_ June- field coils of hay_; If_ he_ be not so to me, What care I how_ fine_ he be? |
18182 | Ben,said he, never taking his glance from the young fellow''s face,"what will you give me if I guide you to your father this afternoon? |
18182 | But I sent a message to the fort----"Not to be bitten by the same dog twice-- I thought that meant to keep away? |
18182 | But about these English prisoners, of whom La Chesnaye sent word from Isle Percée? |
18182 | But how was Mistress Hortense to know that? |
18182 | But where are their foot- marks? |
18182 | But who is this, Jack? |
18182 | But, Rebecca----"Will you come for Hortense''s sake? |
18182 | But--Rebecca was blushing furiously,"but-- I mean-- was there a chaplain? |
18182 | Ca n''t you break through the thongs and get a hand free? |
18182 | Can you guess who that sailor- lad is, Rebecca? |
18182 | Can-- I ever-- ever repay you-- Hortense? |
18182 | Captain Gillam''s boat? |
18182 | Confess what? 18182 Cornered? |
18182 | D''ye mind how we got away from the Iroquois, Chouart? |
18182 | Did he? 18182 Did the cub''s hangdog of a father not offer a thousand pounds for my head on the end of a pikestaff?" |
18182 | Did the north not agree with Sieur Radisson? |
18182 | Did you see her oft, Ramsay? |
18182 | Did you see_ her_? |
18182 | Do n''t you understand? 18182 Do the Scriptures lie, Ramsay Stanhope? |
18182 | Do we sail in that case? |
18182 | Do you go with me or no? |
18182 | Do you mean that Jack Battle has married a squaw? |
18182 | Do you mean the court, sir? |
18182 | Do you mean this little gentleman? |
18182 | Do you mind, Chouart,he asked,"how the padre wanted to put poison in the meat, and the Dutchman would n''t let him? |
18182 | Does the cub think to cower me with his threats? |
18182 | Doth Boston air bring red so quick to all faces? |
18182 | Doth looking hurt yon star? |
18182 | Eh, nephew,exclaims Radisson sharply,"how are the cannon?" |
18182 | Face what? |
18182 | Faith, mademoiselle,said I ruefully,"an she may n''t play war on the commons, what may she play?" |
18182 | Fit crossing? |
18182 | Forever? |
18182 | Furs? |
18182 | Gad''s life, ca n''t you see? |
18182 | Gentlemen,says M. Radisson, with the fires agleam in his deep- set eyes,"am I to understand that every one here is for going forward at any risk?" |
18182 | Godefroy,I asked,"how long will this last?" |
18182 | Gone? |
18182 | Has one run away from the island against orders? |
18182 | Hath the little Puritan helped to get them married right? |
18182 | Have I put bread in thy mouth, Ramsay Stanhope, that thou shouldst turn traitor? 18182 Have we not wrestled mightily for signs and wonders?" |
18182 | Have you lost a man, Ben? |
18182 | Have you not heard, Jack? |
18182 | Have you seen Hortense? |
18182 | Have you seen her? |
18182 | He gives''em that saucy brat, does he? 18182 He hath taken the oath?" |
18182 | Hortense, should an oath to the dead bind the living? |
18182 | Hortense, then it was you that I saw at the fire with the others? |
18182 | Hortense, who sent Le Borgne and M. Picot to save me from the wolves? |
18182 | Hortense-- Hortense-- how am I to keep a promise? |
18182 | How about that Canary taken from the foreign ship? 18182 How can I handle all the English of both forts unless I win some of them for friends?" |
18182 | How close can your gunners hit, Ben? |
18182 | How did you come here? |
18182 | How do you know, Ramsay? |
18182 | How goes the keeping of accounts, Ramsay? |
18182 | How is she called? |
18182 | How long ago was that, Colonel Blood? |
18182 | How long do you intend to squat here anchored to an ice- pan? |
18182 | How many beaver- skins? |
18182 | How many have you? |
18182 | How shall we bring up the matter of Hortense? |
18182 | How? |
18182 | I hear you are fur trading, Ramsay? |
18182 | I promised to treat you as I would a sister-- but what-- Hortense? |
18182 | If I could only take her place----"Take her place, Rebecca? |
18182 | If killing''s no murder, whose turn comes next? |
18182 | If there are no Indians, how much farther do we go, sir? |
18182 | In the name o''the fiends, when did you arrive, man? |
18182 | Is Hortense-- so dear? |
18182 | Is M. Radisson back? |
18182 | Is anything there? 18182 Is anything there?" |
18182 | Is he a spy? |
18182 | Is it a wager? |
18182 | Is not this the place? |
18182 | Is not yon Le Borgne? |
18182 | Is the fire not big enough? |
18182 | It is not-- no-- it is not Jack? |
18182 | It was you who pleaded for my life in the cave below my feet? |
18182 | Jack,I asked,"where is Hortense?" |
18182 | Jack,I warned, thinking of Ben Gillam''s craft rigged with sails of as many colours as Joseph''s coat,"Jack-- is it a pirate- ship?" |
18182 | La Chesnaye has told you? |
18182 | La Chesnaye''s son----"Have the ships a good cargo? 18182 Le Borgne, was any one here with you?" |
18182 | Le Borgne, you rascal, is this a way to treat your friends? |
18182 | Le Borgne,I ask,"was any one here?" |
18182 | Let''s see? |
18182 | Look, you rantipole-- who is that? |
18182 | Love-- what? |
18182 | Maid of honour to the lonely queen? |
18182 | Man alive, why do n''t you carve a way? |
18182 | Married in the north? 18182 Married?" |
18182 | Master Stanhope? |
18182 | May I ask, sir, how you know the pirate signals? |
18182 | May I examine them, Rebecca? |
18182 | Mizza snared rabbits and I stole back my musket when we ran away and did some shooting long as powder lasted----"And then? |
18182 | Must I spell it out? 18182 Must a woman ever be a cat''s- paw to man''s ambitions?" |
18182 | Mutinied? 18182 No one here, lad?" |
18182 | No-- no,says the dream- face, with the love that divines without speech,"do you not understand? |
18182 | No; but you''ll ask her? |
18182 | No? |
18182 | Now tell me, whose is she, and what value do you set on her? |
18182 | Now what in the Old Nick does he mean by that? |
18182 | Now, where are your wits, lad? 18182 Oh, I get work enough on the docks to pay for Mizza''s lessons--""Lessons?" |
18182 | Oh, lordy,taunts an English prisoner out on parole one day,"any angels from kingdom come that you Frenchies keep meek as lambs?" |
18182 | Oh,she cried,"were you not asleep? |
18182 | Oh? |
18182 | Perhaps you remember a New Amsterdam gentleman and a page boy leaving Boston on the Prince Rupert? |
18182 | Promise-- and when did promise o''yours hold good, Pierre Radisson? |
18182 | Ramsay Stanhope,begins my uncle sourly,"what do you with uncropped hair and the foolish trappings of vanity?" |
18182 | Ramsay,inquired Jack quizzically,"do you happen to have heard who has the keys?" |
18182 | Ramsay,said M. Radisson, speaking very low and tense,"As you hope to live and without a lie, what-- does-- this-- mean?" |
18182 | Ramsay,she asked with a sudden look straight through my eyes,"what did he make you promise when-- when-- he was dying?" |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Ramsay? |
18182 | Rebecca, Madame Radisson has told you how Jack was left to be tortured by the Indians? |
18182 | Rebecca,I demanded,"what do you mean?" |
18182 | Rebecca,I whispered, leaning across the bench,"you are big enough to have a-- what? |
18182 | Rebecca-- what is it? |
18182 | Right? |
18182 | Royalist? |
18182 | Services? |
18182 | Shall I lend you a trumpet, La Chesnaye, or-- or a fife? |
18182 | Sir,said I,"have you nothing more to say? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Sir? |
18182 | Spanish adventurer-- Your Excellency? 18182 Take it to her?" |
18182 | Thanks,says Ben, twirling his mustaches till they were nigh jerked out,"but how long would they stay?" |
18182 | The poor thing kept telling me and telling me to trust you till I--"Till you what, Hortense? |
18182 | The ship would be of some value; but why take the men prisoners? 18182 The white- man is Le Borgne''s friend,"assured Groseillers,"but who are these?" |
18182 | The wolves got Godefroy,I would reason,"how did n''t they get me? |
18182 | Then you''ll not need Rebecca for six months or so? |
18182 | They do say as''ow it is for love of Mary Kirke and not the English--"Your renegade of a French-- who? |
18182 | Think? |
18182 | To sail in, Jack Battle? |
18182 | Was it not enough that thou wert utterly bound in iniquity without persecuting the Lord''s anointed? |
18182 | Was it? |
18182 | Was that the message he gave you? 18182 Well?" |
18182 | Well? |
18182 | Were the courtiers about? |
18182 | Were those your ships? |
18182 | Were you so mighty proud the other night that you could not come to see a humble ward of the court? |
18182 | What I done about a mate? |
18182 | What a deuce? |
18182 | What are king- killers? |
18182 | What are king- killers? |
18182 | What are those, Rebecca? |
18182 | What are you doing back there, La Chesnaye? |
18182 | What d''ye lack? 18182 What did he give for the pelts, Godefroy?" |
18182 | What did you put in the meat, Pierre? |
18182 | What do you make of it, Godefroy? |
18182 | What do you think we should do, sir? |
18182 | What do you want in return? |
18182 | What does Captain Radisson advise? |
18182 | What does he say, Godefroy? |
18182 | What does he say, Godefroy? |
18182 | What else was there to do, Hortense? 18182 What for, Ben?" |
18182 | What has that to do with Mistress Hortense? |
18182 | What have you come for? |
18182 | What have you under your arm? |
18182 | What is he saying to them now? |
18182 | What you-- come for? |
18182 | What''s my boy doing? |
18182 | What''s that? |
18182 | What''s the matter with your hand? 18182 What, Hillary? |
18182 | What-- what else was there to do? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | What? |
18182 | When did you feel him getting away from you? |
18182 | When-- when-- did you come? |
18182 | Where did you come from? |
18182 | Where is Balaam? |
18182 | Where is Master Ben? |
18182 | Where is Mistress Hortense? |
18182 | Where is a man to take cover, an the buccaneers began shooting from the bush behind? |
18182 | Where is my master? |
18182 | Where to, Jack? |
18182 | White- man-- promise-- no-- hurt-- good Indian? |
18182 | Who did that? 18182 Who is that, Godefroy?" |
18182 | Who must fight them all? |
18182 | Who paid you to poison Hortense? 18182 Who said''slave''?" |
18182 | Who sent Le Borgne for us in the storm, Hortense? |
18182 | Who shoot what? |
18182 | Who''s there? |
18182 | Who''s who when he''s drunk? 18182 Who-- what is this?" |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Who? |
18182 | Whom do you make them out to be, Ramsay? |
18182 | Why did n''t you go round to her box, the way M. Radisson did to the king''s? |
18182 | Why did n''t you sell her to some Spanish adventurer before you came here? |
18182 | Why do n''t you take it to her, Jack? |
18182 | Why have n''t you? |
18182 | Why not? |
18182 | Why, when a king, who is too busy to sign death- reprieves, may spend the night hunting a single moth from room to room of the palace? 18182 Why-- why did you promise that?" |
18182 | Why-- why-- didn''t you give us warning? |
18182 | Why? |
18182 | Why? |
18182 | Will you do me the honour to satisfy yourself that wound is genuine? |
18182 | Will you petition the king direct? |
18182 | Would another bridesmaid do? |
18182 | Yes? |
18182 | You are not afraid? |
18182 | You mean to send her to Mary Kirke? |
18182 | You think-- it''s-- it''s-- all right? |
18182 | You''ll not take the odds? 18182 Your fine gallants have so many fine speeches----""Have you been here long?" |
18182 | Your wife? 18182 _ Her_?" |
18182 | ''Tis not your girl- page? |
18182 | ****** And had I once thought that Eli Kirke''s fanatic faith painted too lurid a hell? |
18182 | A galleon, did you say, tall and slim? |
18182 | A night- watchman shuffled along with swinging lantern, calling out:"What ho? |
18182 | A_ hard_ master, you say? |
18182 | Am I to be shot?" |
18182 | An a man wins, who a devil gives a rush for the winnings? |
18182 | An you listen to Deliverance Dobbins''s lies, what hinders any lying wench sending good men to the scaffold?" |
18182 | And again I ask why not, when the law of their life was to kill or to be killed? |
18182 | And did I know of any secret league between Captain Zachariah Gillam and Mr. Stocking to trade without commission? |
18182 | And now she must marry the boy----""Why?" |
18182 | And was not that Jack Battle greeting her outside in the dark? |
18182 | And what do you think M. Radisson said as he wiped the sweat from his brow? |
18182 | And what do you think that black- eyed jade asks when I present the furs and tell of our captured Frenchmen? |
18182 | And what words, think you, came quick on top of his first sharp outcry? |
18182 | And-- and was not Mistress Hortense the only woman----?" |
18182 | Are n''t you and me to be shipped on a raft for the English fort at the foot o''the bay?" |
18182 | Are the timbers of your room sound?" |
18182 | Beaten? |
18182 | Before I gained strength to escape, would M. Radisson have left for Quebec? |
18182 | Ben took us to the north with Le Borgne for interpreter----""Does Ben know you are here?" |
18182 | But how could one forage for food with a right arm in bands and a left unsteady as aim of a girl? |
18182 | But what was she saying in her sleep? |
18182 | But what was that sound? |
18182 | But where a''devil is that Indian?" |
18182 | But whither had he gone that he had not come back to us? |
18182 | But why had he flung his sword down at the moment of victory? |
18182 | Can you guess who this is?" |
18182 | Did a fellow''s tales slip an oath or two? |
18182 | Did a fish rise? |
18182 | Did it rise from the ground in the woods, or from a far memory of children throwing a bully into the sea? |
18182 | Did that explain why my life had been three times spared? |
18182 | Did they laugh at this fellow, the most helpless of all things, setting out to conquer all things? |
18182 | Did voices grow loud in the mess- room? |
18182 | Did you sink her or sell her? |
18182 | Do you know the risk?" |
18182 | Do you know what it means? |
18182 | Do you mind the copy- heads on the writing- books? |
18182 | Do you not hear the drunken revel? |
18182 | Do you wonder that our hearts stopped almost as suddenly as the paddles? |
18182 | Does Your High Mightiness give place to a merchant''s son? |
18182 | Does it hurt?" |
18182 | Eh, lad, afraid to go?" |
18182 | Face what?" |
18182 | For had not the blind forces brought Hortense to me, and me to Hortense? |
18182 | Good lack, what will Sir John say?" |
18182 | Had I not noticed the mole on the French doctor''s cheek? |
18182 | Had I run in a circle and come again on M. Radisson''s fire? |
18182 | Had he been sent for me? |
18182 | Had not Eli Kirke planned trading in the north with Mr. Stocking? |
18182 | Had spring come? |
18182 | Had you a preacher? |
18182 | Has he seen the Company?" |
18182 | He would give a thousand pounds for my head-- would he? |
18182 | How are some men born to draw all others as the sea draws the streams? |
18182 | How came I to be lying in Boston Town? |
18182 | How could I go to M. de Radisson and abandon Hortense? |
18182 | How could I stay with M. Picot and desert M. de Radisson? |
18182 | How could they get a minister a thousand leagues away from any church? |
18182 | How did I get away? |
18182 | How did he know that? |
18182 | How had he made the savages come to him? |
18182 | How long had I lain in the cave? |
18182 | How many days have you been here?" |
18182 | How much better could we have done for her?" |
18182 | I ask you in return why you like the spire of a cathedral pointing up instead of down; or why the muses lift souls heavenward? |
18182 | I had: what of it? |
18182 | I thought of appealing to the mercy of the judges; but what mercy had Eli Kirke received at the hands of royalists that he should be merciful to them? |
18182 | If once the great door were unlocked, who could tell what black arts a sorcerer might use? |
18182 | If this was the beginning, what was the end? |
18182 | In the name o''the fiends-- where from?" |
18182 | Is Captain Gillam stealing the Company''s furs for Ben?" |
18182 | Lordy,"laughs Jack,"s''pose I do n''t know what a foot on a neck feels like? |
18182 | Mary?" |
18182 | May the angel of forgiveness spread a broader mantle across our blunders than our sins, but could I have said worse? |
18182 | Might I not speak to the French doctor through the bars of his window? |
18182 | My uncle''s welcome was more than a vain lad could stomach; and what youth of his first teens hath not a vanity hidden about him somewhere? |
18182 | Nine lives for each man, did you say?" |
18182 | No? |
18182 | Not a- bed yet, child? |
18182 | Now, Rebecca, will you sit down till I tell you all about it?" |
18182 | Oh, that is the reason you never came----""And that is the reason you have hidden from me all the year and never sent me word?" |
18182 | Or make pale my cheeks with care''Cause_ Rebecca''s_ rosier are?" |
18182 | PART I CHAPTER I WHAT ARE KING- KILLERS? |
18182 | Ramsay, why did she love that north land where the wicked Frenchman took her?" |
18182 | Restore her to what? |
18182 | Shaping his hands to a trumpet, he shouted,"How are you, there?" |
18182 | Should I lie like a stranded hull while he perished? |
18182 | Should I tell him of the adventure? |
18182 | Spreading over the face of the New World, making the desert to bloom and the waste places fruitful gardens? |
18182 | Tell me that?" |
18182 | That was the child''s way of asking a very old question-- Was Man the sport of the elements, the plaything of all the cruel, blind gods of chance? |
18182 | The only doubt is how many of those pirates are there who attacked you in the woods?" |
18182 | Then Hortense was no dream, and love was no phantom, and God-- was what? |
18182 | Then a voice which only speaks when love speaks through the voice was saying,"Do you remember your dreams?" |
18182 | Then the Dutchman wanted to murder them all in their sleep, and the padre would n''t let him?" |
18182 | Then turning to me with her face aflame:"I am-- I am-- oh-- why ca n''t you understand?" |
18182 | Think you M. Picot burns incense to the serpent in his jars for the healing of mankind?" |
18182 | This was what the Indian was saying as Godefroy muttered it over to me:"Were the Indians fools and dogs to throw away two fish for the sake of one? |
18182 | Those guns in the bastions though-- think you those cannon are not pushed too far through the windows to be slued round quickly?" |
18182 | Up yet? |
18182 | Was I dreaming, or were there voices, English voices, talking about me? |
18182 | Was I not the only royalist in the house? |
18182 | Was M. Radisson a myth? |
18182 | Was he not here among them? |
18182 | Was it flood of memory or a sick man''s dream? |
18182 | Was that the only reason?" |
18182 | Was the northland a dream? |
18182 | Was the water suddenly muddied? |
18182 | Waters-- did I say? |
18182 | Were my assailants, then, Hudson''s Bay Company men come up from the south end of James Bay? |
18182 | Were the pirates some agents of my uncle? |
18182 | What a pretty mischief have you been working? |
18182 | What ado was this in Boston, where men were only hunters of souls and chasers of devils? |
18182 | What are King- Killers? |
18182 | What could I do? |
18182 | What d''ye lack? |
18182 | What d''ye please to lack, good sirs? |
18182 | What does Osmond''s daughter say?" |
18182 | What else was there for us to do?" |
18182 | What folly is this-- dear, kind Rebecca? |
18182 | What gain to keep up pretence longer? |
18182 | What had she done that she ought not to have done? |
18182 | What ho?" |
18182 | What next?" |
18182 | What was she trying to say with her dark hints and overnice scruples of a Puritan conscience? |
18182 | What was this fellow doing with a torch? |
18182 | What will become of her?" |
18182 | What will my father have to say?" |
18182 | What- a- deuce? |
18182 | When they reached the shambles, know you what they did? |
18182 | When we''ve taken him, lads, who-- think you-- dare complain?" |
18182 | Where are the New Englanders?" |
18182 | Where are the tribes with whom Godefroy and Jack Battle and I wandered in nomadic life over the northern wastes? |
18182 | Where are we, Le Borgne?" |
18182 | Where had I heard it before? |
18182 | Where is that vagabond Cree? |
18182 | Where is your colour of a moment ago?" |
18182 | Where was the brain? |
18182 | Where, think you, may we best secure him? |
18182 | Which do you mean?" |
18182 | While we swung at anchorman, what d''y''think happened? |
18182 | Who are her people?" |
18182 | Who had turned informer on my uncle? |
18182 | Who is Hortense?" |
18182 | Who was the third partner? |
18182 | Who were these night- watchers? |
18182 | Why did n''t I join the beaver trade of Hudson Bay? |
18182 | Why do n''t you join the beaver trade, Ramsay?" |
18182 | Why do you ask questions? |
18182 | Why must you and Madame Radisson and Lady Kirke all push me here?" |
18182 | Why not, indeed? |
18182 | Why not? |
18182 | Why should he have, when his only standard of right is conquest? |
18182 | Why should it not be, when his only god is victory? |
18182 | Why would he put her in a house of correction? |
18182 | Why, when a duchess must take me every morning to a milliner''s shop, where she meets her lover, who is a rope- walker? |
18182 | Why, when ladies of the court dress in men''s clothes to run the streets with the Scowerers? |
18182 | Why, when our sailors starve unpaid and gold enough lies on the basset- table of a Sunday night to feed the army? |
18182 | Why-- who-- who married him, Ramsay?" |
18182 | Why-- why-- did you promise?" |
18182 | Why----?" |
18182 | Will i Do It? |
18182 | Will you not come?" |
18182 | Would suspicion fall on me? |
18182 | Would''t be any better to send you to the rope than Hortense? |
18182 | You ask what that look was? |
18182 | You kept your promise, and a ward of the crown must marry whom the king names--""Marry?" |
18182 | any one listening?" |
18182 | called one, reining his horse to its haunches,"did that snivelling knave pass this way?" |
18182 | cries Ben,"but where a deuce are all your land forces and marines and jack- tars and forty thousand officers?" |
18182 | he exclaimed,"do fur- traders keep royalty awaiting?" |
18182 | is a slaughter better than a game? |
18182 | mocks Hortense,"what else is there to do?" |
18182 | returns Phipps,"how many beaver- skins are there in store?" |
18182 | says Hortense,"what else? |
18182 | says Hortense,"why do I hate this life? |
18182 | she cried impetuously,"I hate this life-- why did you all send me to it?" |
18182 | who married you?" |
16289 | ''Ow much? |
16289 | A board shack looks rotten in the woods? |
16289 | Ah, must you go? |
16289 | Ambrose Doane? |
16289 | And can nobody here speak Kakisa? |
16289 | And they stand for that? |
16289 | And when you went back for her,Colina persisted,"did n''t my mother run away north with you, against the wishes of her parents?" |
16289 | Angleysman, you there? |
16289 | Are n''t the Indian kids comical little souls? |
16289 | Are n''t you a little relieved? |
16289 | Are they coming over here? |
16289 | Are you accusing Strange now? |
16289 | Are you afraid of him? |
16289 | Are you afraid? 16289 Are you against me?" |
16289 | Are you beginning to doubt me already? |
16289 | Are you offering it to me? |
16289 | Are you willing to come? |
16289 | But that need n''t prevent, eh? 16289 But who is it?" |
16289 | But why wait? |
16289 | But-- what should I do at the fort? |
16289 | By whom? |
16289 | Ca n''t you believe what you see? |
16289 | Can I see his son then, Germain Grampierre? |
16289 | Could it be rigged to the engine? |
16289 | Could n''t the man be overtaken and the skin recovered? |
16289 | Could n''t you have communicated with counsel? |
16289 | Could you get me a horse, too? |
16289 | Dad,said Colina suddenly,"what did you come north for in the first place, thirty years ago?" |
16289 | Despise you? 16289 Did he-- did he_ see_ him?" |
16289 | Did n''t she help me out of here? |
16289 | Did she send an answer back? |
16289 | Did you hear any talk? |
16289 | Did you see her? |
16289 | Discount? |
16289 | Do n''t you recognize anything but orders? |
16289 | Do you believe this liar? 16289 Do you know my father?" |
16289 | Do you know the reason for this attack? |
16289 | Do you live with them? |
16289 | Do you mean to say he buys your grain at his own price, and sells you back the flour at his own price? |
16289 | Do you mean to say that father is unfair? |
16289 | Do you mean, to say that father brought this on himself? |
16289 | Do you still mean to say that I killed one of your men? |
16289 | Do you think the breed was justified in shooting my father? |
16289 | Do you think you can make your child and hers into a prim miss, to sit at home and work embroidery? |
16289 | Do you wish me to stay? |
16289 | Do you wish to be excused? |
16289 | Does he know I''m coming? |
16289 | Does he sleep alone? |
16289 | Does n''t the table look nice? |
16289 | Eelip? |
16289 | Flour? 16289 For God''s sake, will you tell me what I could hope to gain by stirring up the Indians?" |
16289 | Generosity? |
16289 | Give us a hand with these bolting frames, will you? 16289 Gone?" |
16289 | Good men? 16289 Had n''t we better get lumber from the''Company''mill?" |
16289 | Has Gaviller given you this order since he knew the people were hungry? |
16289 | Has he spoken? |
16289 | Have you a boat? |
16289 | Have you a gun? |
16289 | Have you anything against me? |
16289 | Have you anything to say for yourself? |
16289 | Have you come so far alone? |
16289 | Have you flour? |
16289 | Have you forgotten? |
16289 | Have you got Ambrose Doane here? |
16289 | Have you got a little mill? |
16289 | Have you got a wife? |
16289 | Have you heard? |
16289 | He married a Cree, did n''t he? |
16289 | Heard what? |
16289 | Help me get this thing going, will you? |
16289 | Hey, what''s the matter? |
16289 | How can I ever repay her? |
16289 | How can I help it? 16289 How can I pledge him?" |
16289 | How can I see you again? |
16289 | How can I? |
16289 | How can we make a trade? |
16289 | How can you be so hard to me? |
16289 | How did it begin? |
16289 | How did they come? |
16289 | How did you know? |
16289 | How do I know? |
16289 | How do you know they have sent for the police? |
16289 | How do you know? |
16289 | How do you know? |
16289 | How is Nesis? |
16289 | How is that? |
16289 | How is your father? |
16289 | How is your father? |
16289 | How long have you been in the north? |
16289 | How many link- skins in the bale you made up today? |
16289 | How many? |
16289 | How much farther are you going? |
16289 | How much will you charge me to grind me five hundred bushels of grain for them? |
16289 | How old is she? |
16289 | How she get you out, then? |
16289 | How was I to know? |
16289 | I am to understand that you justify the breed? |
16289 | I ask, Ambrose Doane, will you save them from their madness? 16289 I can build a bigger house, ca n''t I?" |
16289 | I mean,explained Colina,"will you come and tell his judges that he did not lead the Kakisas into trouble?" |
16289 | I stop it? |
16289 | I suppose Miss Colina has plenty of suitors? |
16289 | I suppose you have business with him? |
16289 | I was thinking-- human beings are sort of elastic, are n''t they? 16289 I wonder if I done the right thing?" |
16289 | I''m your daughter, am I not?--and mother''s? 16289 If that is true, it is a wonderful brain, is n''t it? |
16289 | If that''s what you want to call it? 16289 If you go to the camp get me my dog, will you?" |
16289 | Is Ambrose Doane there? |
16289 | Is anybody watching your flour? |
16289 | Is it being yourself to act like a harum- scarum tomboy? |
16289 | Is n''t there-- isn''t there something else I can do? |
16289 | Is she real white? |
16289 | Is that all right? |
16289 | Is that all? |
16289 | Is the evidence you have to give favorable to the prisoner or unfavorable? |
16289 | Is there any answer? |
16289 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
16289 | Is there anything you want? |
16289 | Is there work at Moultrie in the summer? |
16289 | Is this-- good- by? |
16289 | It has n''t turned out that way, has it? |
16289 | It tells its own story, does n''t it? |
16289 | It''s you, is it? |
16289 | Look here,he said smoothly;"you know best, of course; but are n''t there times when a soldier must make his own rules? |
16289 | Man to man I''ll not deny I ai n''t been sorry sometimes,he went on;"who ai n''t, sometimes? |
16289 | May I explain further? |
16289 | May I speak to you alone? |
16289 | May n''t I-- send you something from the house? |
16289 | Miss Gaviller, if the girl could understand you, why did she answer by signs? |
16289 | Must I submit to be bearded in my own house by this scamp, this fire- brand, this destroyer? |
16289 | Must the Kakisas got hunt every day? |
16289 | Must you go? |
16289 | Must? |
16289 | Nesis,he asked,"do you know why Watusk is keeping me locked up here? |
16289 | Nesis,he asked,"how will you explain being away overnight? |
16289 | Not very original, I say; is it possible he could have read it somewhere, adding a few little touches of his own? 16289 Of what?" |
16289 | Officer, what is the trouble outside? |
16289 | Oh, I say,said Strange, laughing,"what did you come to Fort Enterprise for if you feel that way about us?" |
16289 | On what charge? |
16289 | Playing waiter, eh? |
16289 | Presumptuous? |
16289 | Shall we leave one of the canoes? |
16289 | She believed in you, eh? |
16289 | Should I tell about that? |
16289 | Simon,he said immediately,"suppose it came to a fight, how many men do you think Gaviller could count on?" |
16289 | Simon,said Ambrose, finally,"can you get me twenty- five good men by dark; steady men with cool heads, who will do what I tell them?" |
16289 | Sorry? |
16289 | Suppose I don''do it? |
16289 | Sure,said Peter;"but was her mother a white woman?" |
16289 | Talk to her? |
16289 | Tell me,he said quietly,"did you do it just for fun, or had you a reason?" |
16289 | The spirit river? |
16289 | Throw your light on my clothes, will you? |
16289 | To torture me? 16289 Was that so extraordinary?" |
16289 | Was that your mouth? 16289 Was your father pleased?" |
16289 | Wat you t''ink? |
16289 | Watusk, for God''s sake, what do you mean to do? |
16289 | We can pass them back and forth-- can''t we? |
16289 | We get pay, too, for our flour burn up? |
16289 | Well, then, did any of the Indians set it? 16289 Well, what do you want me to do?" |
16289 | Well, you can claim the extra one, ca n''t you,snarled Ambrose,"and make an allowance if it''s found short?" |
16289 | Well? |
16289 | Well? |
16289 | Well? |
16289 | What about the Kakisas? |
16289 | What am I going to do? |
16289 | What are you doing on my father''s property? |
16289 | What are you going to do? |
16289 | What are you laughing at? |
16289 | What are you standing here for? |
16289 | What can I do? |
16289 | What charge? |
16289 | What damn foolishness is this? 16289 What did Eelip say to that?" |
16289 | What did he say? |
16289 | What did you come for? |
16289 | What did you think of the place, Poly? |
16289 | What did you want? |
16289 | What did your father say to you? |
16289 | What do the people say about him? 16289 What do we wait for,_ un miracle_? |
16289 | What do you come here for? |
16289 | What do you expect me to say to that? |
16289 | What do you expect will happen? |
16289 | What do you expect? |
16289 | What do you know about conditions here? |
16289 | What do you know about me? |
16289 | What do you mean by saying old man Gaviller is mad at you? |
16289 | What do you want? |
16289 | What do you want? |
16289 | What do you want? |
16289 | What do you want? |
16289 | What does this mean? |
16289 | What does this mean? |
16289 | What earthly reason could I have for trying to injure my benefactor? |
16289 | What else about him? |
16289 | What for? |
16289 | What good tell them? |
16289 | What happened to the men you left on guard? |
16289 | What has this to do with a question of justice? |
16289 | What have you got there? |
16289 | What have you to say for yourself? |
16289 | What is it I can do? |
16289 | What is it? |
16289 | What is it? |
16289 | What is it? |
16289 | What is it? |
16289 | What is that? |
16289 | What is the matter? |
16289 | What is the situation? |
16289 | What is the use of our bandying words? |
16289 | What is the wound? |
16289 | What kind of a game is this? |
16289 | What kind of a job did they give you at Enterprise? |
16289 | What lame man? |
16289 | What must we do to prepare? |
16289 | What sort of a man is Greer? |
16289 | What the devil can I do? |
16289 | What time is it? |
16289 | What was it? |
16289 | What will Gaviller do? 16289 What will a poor man do while he wait? |
16289 | What will we do now? |
16289 | What will you do with your family? |
16289 | What will you do? |
16289 | What''s happened to you? |
16289 | What''s his name? |
16289 | What''s that? |
16289 | What''s the difference? |
16289 | What''s the matter with him? |
16289 | What''s the matter with my way of living? |
16289 | What''s the matter with the mankiller? |
16289 | What''s the matter with you? |
16289 | What''s the matter, Ambrose? |
16289 | What''s the matter? |

16289 | What''s the use? |
16289 | What''s the use? |
16289 | What''s the use? |
16289 | What? |
16289 | When are you going to pull out for home? |
16289 | When did the girl come? |
16289 | When? |
16289 | Where are the Indians camped? |
16289 | Where are you? |
16289 | Where did you get it? |

16289 | Who is there for her? |
16289 | Who is there? |
16289 | Who''s coming? |
16289 | Who''s next? |
16289 | Whom do you mean? |
16289 | Why did n''t you come in to see us to- day? |
16289 | Why do n''t you eat? |
16289 | Why do n''t you go? |
16289 | Why do you ask? |
16289 | Why do you want to keep it a secret? |
16289 | Why must you tell me? |
16289 | Why not? |
16289 | Why not? |
16289 | Why not? |
16289 | Why should n''t I come here? |
16289 | Why should they warn you? |
16289 | Why should you be? 16289 Why you do that?" |
16289 | Why you tak''two canoe? |

16289 | Will you eat? |
16289 | Will you examine? |

16289 | Will you speak? |
16289 | Will you submit to handcuffs or must I force you? |
16289 | Will you-- will you eat with me? |
16289 | With twenty thousand bushels of wheat here?'' |
16289 | Would n''t it be the best way,she murmured,"since it''s got to be anyway?" |
16289 | Would you like to come and see my beasts? |
16289 | You Ambrose Doane? |
16289 | You almost out? |
16289 | You are Ambrose Doane, I suppose? |
16289 | You are Nesis? |
16289 | You are quite successful in handling them? |
16289 | You are well? |
16289 | You did n''t think I was pretty to- day, did you,, he said with a grin,"with a week''s growth on my chin?" |
16289 | You do good trade at Lake Miwasa? |
16289 | You fellows have to be everything from grooms to chambermaids, do n''t you? |
16289 | You have an engine here? |
16289 | You have no idea who did it? |
16289 | You have not met my father? |
16289 | You know Ambrose Doane? |
16289 | You know who did it? |
16289 | You lak little Nesis, hey? |
16289 | You t''ink I mad for cause she go wit''you? |
16289 | You think this any good? |
16289 | You want to know about the wheat? |
16289 | Your father is dead? |
16289 | Your father is well? |
16289 | Your father-- what is the matter with him? |
16289 | Your partner, he is well? |
16289 | A little gorramighty? |
16289 | After a while Colina asked:"Do you know who I am?" |
16289 | Aloud she remarked languidly:"How about me? |
16289 | Anyway, you dined with Mr. Gaviller, did n''t you?" |
16289 | Are you a dog to lie down when she beat you?" |
16289 | Are you going to wait for his orders before you act?" |
16289 | Are you sorry you got stay with me little while?" |
16289 | At last he said huskily:"What has happened to change you?" |
16289 | At the worst, I do not fear any harm to any of us, except perhaps--""Father?" |
16289 | But a voice cried defiantly:"Must we wait some more?" |
16289 | But how can I go back and humble myself?" |
16289 | But how could Colina relent when she beheld him arriving laden with ammunition to make war upon her? |
16289 | But how? |
16289 | But what are you going to do? |
16289 | But why?" |
16289 | But, on the whole, after all these years, how could I have done any better? |
16289 | Ca n''t you stop until to- morrow?" |
16289 | Can she be brought here?" |
16289 | Can you bring me a strong knife?" |
16289 | Colina was a woman-- and an impulsive one; it was bound to come sooner or later:"What did you come for?" |
16289 | Colina was thinking:"What shall I do if she is afraid, and does n''t come?" |
16289 | Could it be meant that he was to take part in a night attack on the police? |
16289 | Could they have made such a plan? |
16289 | Did you ever kiss her?" |
16289 | Do I spik Angleys good, Angleysman?" |
16289 | Do we wait for Gaviller''s heart to soften? |
16289 | Do you believe this lie?" |
16289 | Do you blame me for that?" |
16289 | Do you despise me?" |
16289 | Do you expect a jury to attach any weight to her evidence?" |
16289 | Do you expect us to believe you? |
16289 | Do you think the breed was justified in shooting my father?" |
16289 | Do you think you''re another Louis Riel?" |
16289 | Do you want fine flour or coarse?" |
16289 | Do you want me to dress?" |
16289 | Finally she said very low:"Angleysman, you got go to jail if you tak''me?" |
16289 | Granting that Gordon Strange, that extraordinary character, played for high stakes, lost and paid-- was he the sole criminal? |
16289 | Had he not baited her into losing her temper-- and insisting on his coming to dinner? |
16289 | Hardly likely they would take him as a passenger, is it, if he had fought them so strenuously? |
16289 | He addressed Colina,"You have evidence to give in this case?" |
16289 | He heard Ambrose ask:"Who is that comical little guy?" |
16289 | He heard Emslie say:"Doane looks like a decent- enough head, does n''t he? |
16289 | He spoke in a voice of portentous softness:"Who the hell do you think you are? |
16289 | How can I be sure?" |
16289 | How can we do anything with them if we treat them like dirt?" |
16289 | How could he hope to keep his manhood? |
16289 | How could he hope to put it together by lantern light? |
16289 | How could she turn them loose to rest and graze with enemies both in the front and the rear? |
16289 | How could you see me?" |
16289 | How do you explain it when times are good-- when this is known as the richest post in the north?" |
16289 | How far will rage carry her?" |
16289 | How is a dead man to sway passionate, living men? |
16289 | How many men have you got?" |
16289 | I must ask you why you have delayed until this moment?" |
16289 | If I write a short note to Gaviller will you deliver it and bring me back an answer?" |
16289 | If my people get more hungry what can I do? |
16289 | If she chose to play that game let her take the consequences? |
16289 | If that failed her, then what? |
16289 | Is it true? |
16289 | Is that true?" |
16289 | It was cruelly hard to concentrate his mind on machinery while a damnable little voice in his brain persisted in asking over and over:"Where are they? |
16289 | It was set, but who set it? |
16289 | Lastly, did Ambrose Doane do it, or have it done? |
16289 | May I see him for five minutes?" |
16289 | Me? |
16289 | Men who will not sneak up to the dance?" |
16289 | No? |
16289 | Now, can you imagine a man with even the rudiments of good sense persuading himself that he could make a successful Indian uprising at this date? |
16289 | Presently he asked coolly;"What do you want me for, and who are you anyway?" |
16289 | Quickly veiling his eyes, he asked with an innocent air:"What does Mr. Gaviller say?" |
16289 | Reaching the dugout, Simon asked:"Where now?" |
16289 | She all but stamped her foot as she said:"Did n''t you hear me?" |
16289 | Simon said to the company:"Men, will you sell your wheat to Ambrose Doane at a dollar- seventy- five?" |
16289 | Strange?" |
16289 | The Indians''welfare more important than profits, eh? |
16289 | The question in the air was:"What did you come for?" |
16289 | The question is, does the Province of Athabasca control the Northwest Fur Company, or does the Company run the province? |
16289 | The question is-- what are we going to do?" |
16289 | The thought struck him oddly:"How could they have had warning of what was going to happen?" |
16289 | They not lak you? |
16289 | To Ambrose Colina said with subtle scorn meant for his ear alone:"What is it?" |
16289 | Was he really so simple as she had decided? |
16289 | Was it any one connected with the Company? |
16289 | Was it her father? |
16289 | Wat you say to t''at, hein?" |
16289 | What are they doing? |
16289 | What do the others say?" |
16289 | What do you expect of the child of such a couple?" |
16289 | What do you propose?" |
16289 | What do you want me to do?" |
16289 | What does he think he''s going to do with me?" |
16289 | What does it matter whether it was in a day or a year? |
16289 | What does your father say?" |
16289 | What if he, Ambrose, should be chosen to carry it out? |
16289 | What if it does break us? |
16289 | What is a skin to us? |
16289 | What is he catch you think? |
16289 | What is the matter?" |
16289 | What matter how dearly Colina loved him if he had to go to jail? |
16289 | What more can I say? |
16289 | What should I have done? |
16289 | What should he say?" |
16289 | What should we do?" |
16289 | What sort of conditions were they up there that made it possible for him to engineer his unique schemes of villainy? |
16289 | What the devil are we going to do?" |
16289 | What was between them? |
16289 | What was he to do hut hold her close? |
16289 | What was the matter with the bull?" |
16289 | What will I do-- starve, and see my children starve? |
16289 | What will they do to you?" |
16289 | What would you? |
16289 | What you think, is that true talk, Angleysman?" |
16289 | What you want wit''Colina Gaviller? |
16289 | What''s the matter with you that you ca n''t keep them better than that? |
16289 | What''s the matter with you these past ten days, anyway? |
16289 | When Ambrose and Simon got outside the teepee Simon asked the same question:"Where_ will_ you get it?" |
16289 | When Colina returned she said immediately:"Ambrose, can you stay at Fort Enterprise a little while longer?" |
16289 | Where I get warm clothes for the winter and meat and sugar and powder for my gun? |
16289 | Where could Watusk have learned his tactics? |
16289 | Where is your leader? |
16289 | Who is she?" |
16289 | Who knows? |
16289 | Who wants to speak?" |
16289 | Why ca n''t the question of me be dropped between you and your father?" |
16289 | Why ca n''t you leave me alone?" |
16289 | Why fourth? |
16289 | Why he do everything? |
16289 | Why he put down the price of grain? |
16289 | Why should they? |
16289 | Why should we wait till he get well? |
16289 | Will we wait and let him?" |
16289 | Will you come up to- morrow and let me take you about?" |
16289 | Will you help us break our chains? |
16289 | With a great effort he commanded his temper,"What do you see yourself in your rides about the settlement?" |
16289 | Wo n''t that do?" |
16289 | You do n''t want to eat in a jail, do you?" |
16289 | _ Buy our grain_?" |
16289 | he cried indignantly,"have you nothing to say? |
16289 | they say, she is_ miwasan_--what you say, beauty? |
14261 | A big man, kind of solid and homely? |
14261 | A capable man? |
14261 | A difficulty? |
14261 | A man? |
14261 | A woman of that kind would know what she was about? |
14261 | All this is very tawdry, is n''t it? |
14261 | Alton? |
14261 | An axe- cut? 14261 And Hallam hired you to murder me?" |
14261 | And Mr. Alton takes it hardly? |
14261 | And how long will it be before Barscombe passes? |
14261 | And in the second? |
14261 | And is Mr. Alton in the habit of making similar presents? |
14261 | And is n''t it? |
14261 | And that I should not have asked you? |
14261 | And that is all you can tell me? |
14261 | And that is all? |
14261 | And the silver still lies hidden up there? |
14261 | And this loan or whatever it is will prevent that happening? 14261 And what are we to do?" |
14261 | And what became of her? 14261 And what made you tell me now?" |
14261 | And when the river froze? |
14261 | And when you went into that place this morning there was nothing again? |
14261 | And which of them is what we''re going to do? |
14261 | And yet you distrusted me once? |
14261 | And yet you take your father''s part? |
14261 | And you are going back to look for the silver tomorrow? 14261 And you are going to do a good deal?" |
14261 | And you believe the thing''s going to be? |
14261 | And you could look on while a cattle- driving boor made himself a laughing- stock at Carnaby? |
14261 | And you fancied you could dispense with common courtesy in my case? |
14261 | And your friend got away? |
14261 | And, so far as you know, was there anything of that kind? |
14261 | And,said Alice Deringham,"you wondered if he was mistaken?" |
14261 | And,said Hallam,"you would be ready to pay for it?" |
14261 | And,said Miss Deringham,"Mrs. Jimmy resembles me?" |
14261 | And? |
14261 | Anything the worse, Harry? |
14261 | Are n''t there plenty to be picked up in this country without looking for them? |
14261 | Are those the things you would like a dainty English lady who knows nothing of what we have to do now and then to hear? |
14261 | Are you finding anything down there, Tom? |
14261 | Are you not suggesting an impossibility? |
14261 | Are you pleased with this country? |
14261 | Are you quite sure you have told us all, Harry? |
14261 | Are you staying here? |
14261 | Are you still pleased with your tame bear? |
14261 | Are you sure you have not lost the way? |
14261 | Are you sure you''re wise? |
14261 | Bring them in? |
14261 | Business worries? |
14261 | But have you heard from Tom? |
14261 | But have you nothing in contemplation? |
14261 | But how did he get there? |
14261 | But how was I to know? |
14261 | But is there anything you could do in Vancouver? 14261 But she would be wanted at Carnaby?" |
14261 | But there is hope? |
14261 | But there is no reason? |
14261 | But what is Carnaby to you? |
14261 | But what is Mr. Alton doing? |
14261 | But what''s the matter with the Tyee dollars, Harry, that you would n''t do Hallam''s packing? |
14261 | But why did Mr. Alton go? |
14261 | But why did you not ask for it earlier, Harry? 14261 But you were left the money, or most of it?" |
14261 | But, Harry, what is to be done? 14261 But,"said Alice Deringham,"how was it that Mr. Alton did not make sure of the mine?" |
14261 | But,said Mrs. Forel,"what brought it on?" |
14261 | But,said the girl,"how could you know that?" |
14261 | Ca n''t you think of anything a little more pleasant? |
14261 | Can you not believe that the man who packed our provisions in through flooded fords and snow would do anything out of generosity? |
14261 | Can you see Mr. Alton? 14261 Can you send us nurse or capable woman? |
14261 | Can you suggest anything at all? 14261 Can you tell me where Mr. Henry Alton is?" |
14261 | Can you wait until I come down next week, Carter? |
14261 | Carnaby Grange? |
14261 | Could you not have put it in another way? |
14261 | Damer? |
14261 | Dead? |
14261 | Did I ever give you any cause for believing that I would? |
14261 | Did it ever occur to you that you had probably as much already as is good for you? |
14261 | Did it strike you that I walked kind of stiffly? |
14261 | Did she tell you so? |
14261 | Did you come out here from England? |
14261 | Did you expect anything else from him? |
14261 | Did you find the panther''s trail? |
14261 | Did you find the peg? |
14261 | Did you know the man? |
14261 | Do I understand that he gave it you? |
14261 | Do n''t the salmon swim in it, and the bear and deer come down to drink? |
14261 | Do n''t you ever get tired or hungry, Harry? |
14261 | Do n''t you know me, Harry? 14261 Do n''t you know your sister better-- you fool? |
14261 | Do you know that you bushmen have made me ashamed once or twice? |
14261 | Do you know what he means? |
14261 | Do you know what you have done? |
14261 | Do you mean to do nothing? |
14261 | Do you put up every stranger who calls here, and give him a fowl for supper? 14261 Do you see anything down there?" |
14261 | Do you think I could? |
14261 | Do you think anything has? |
14261 | Do you think that last was wise? |
14261 | Do you think you could sleep there? |
14261 | Dollars running out? |
14261 | Dramatic, but it''s a little incomplete, is n''t it? |
14261 | Excuse? |
14261 | Father,she said faintly,"do you think he has gone the wrong way? |
14261 | Father,she said,"in case the purchaser turns us out where shall we go to- night? |
14261 | Forel,he said,"where did all those dollars come from?" |
14261 | Got anything you do n''t want folks to know about in here? |
14261 | Got that quite straight? 14261 Had n''t you better get way on, Tom?" |
14261 | Had you any especial reason when you asked me to go, Harry? |
14261 | Hallam? 14261 Harry, are you wise?" |
14261 | Harry,he said presently,"you have got most of the things you wanted so far?" |
14261 | Harry? |
14261 | Has anything upset you, Deringham? |
14261 | Has he mentioned any intention of returning with you? |
14261 | Has he ridden off wet through as he was? |
14261 | Has n''t that an appearance of unnecessary patronage? |
14261 | Have I admitted that it was an affliction, or do you suppose I am very frightened of a little indifferent tea? |
14261 | Have we any chance at all? |
14261 | Have we hurt you, Harry? |
14261 | Have you a mineral water factory at Somasco, too? |
14261 | Have you any reason for going into these details? |
14261 | Have you forgotten? 14261 Have you got it?" |
14261 | Have you had bad news, father? |
14261 | Have you seen the man who brought the message? |
14261 | He crawled away into the bush? |
14261 | He does that kind of thing sometimes? |
14261 | He had the specimens with him? |
14261 | He knew me? |
14261 | How could any one willing to help us do so, father? |
14261 | How could you know that? |
14261 | How did you guess that? |
14261 | How did you know that? |
14261 | How is he? |
14261 | How is she? |
14261 | How long have I been? |
14261 | How long have you been here? |
14261 | How long shall we stay here? |
14261 | I am not fond of going to the bank, and got Mr. Forel to change my English cheque into currency, but why do you want it? |
14261 | I could come and see you at Vancouver when I come back? |
14261 | I do n''t know that I asked you, though I meant to, but you and Tom staked two more claims off? |
14261 | I figure you''ve got a programme? |
14261 | I know what you mean-- but would even what I have told you warrant you thinking that of me? |
14261 | I only seized his shoulder, and you would not have expected me to look on? |
14261 | I presume you know Alton is going up to find the silver he needs to help him traverse your schemes? |
14261 | I suppose you have not a few dollars you could give me, father? |
14261 | I talked a good deal, Charley, when I was sick? |
14261 | I think you told me your sisters were married now? |
14261 | I was wondering if you would like a cigar, sir? |
14261 | I wonder if any of them were connected with the sale of Townshead''s ranch? |
14261 | I wonder if one might venture to congratulate you on your resolution? |
14261 | I wonder if you have forgotten the hog? 14261 If Miss Deringham is punished for her wicked pride what is that to you?" |
14261 | If you do n''t resent the question, how do you know? |
14261 | Is Harry Alton anywhere around, miss? |
14261 | Is n''t it time you got hold of me? 14261 Is n''t that a somewhat curious way of putting it?" |
14261 | Is n''t that beside the question? |
14261 | Is n''t this country good enough for anybody? |
14261 | Is there any reason why you ca n''t tell me a little more? 14261 Is there anything worrying you?" |
14261 | Is there nothing to say on the other side? |
14261 | It is a little sudden, is it not? |
14261 | It is a question of the value of your time and Mr. Calhoun''s apparently? |
14261 | It is grotesque-- almost horrible, is n''t it? |
14261 | It is important that he should have the draught? |
14261 | It must have been a load off your mind when she refused you? |
14261 | It was the big bushman I saw there? |
14261 | It was,said Miss Deringham,"sufficiently exasperating, but was the rest justifiable because you were a stronger or bolder man than him?" |
14261 | It''s a big estate? |
14261 | Jack''s no better? |
14261 | Know any reason why you should n''t have a drink with me? |
14261 | Mean? |
14261 | More water? |
14261 | Mounted? |
14261 | Mr. Alton is an authority on cattle? |
14261 | Mr. Henry Alton? |
14261 | No,said Alton,"that''s the pity; but could n''t you remember just now and then that you are friends with me?" |
14261 | No? 14261 No?" |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | No? |
14261 | Nobody to follow him? 14261 Not coming?" |
14261 | Nothing wrong at the ranch, I hope, Miss Nellie? |
14261 | Now I think you know a good deal about all that goes on in this city? |
14261 | Now I wonder if one could take the liberty? |
14261 | Now how long have you been looking for it? |
14261 | Now is there nothing that I can do? |
14261 | Now what am I to answer to that? 14261 Now what in the name of thunder made you tell that story?" |
14261 | Now what the---- is all this about? |
14261 | Now, where did you come from? |
14261 | Of course you know what he was over there? |
14261 | Patent medicines and hair- growers are up? |
14261 | Shall I go in, and look at your patient? |
14261 | So far as my opinion goes, I scarcely think it will; but is n''t that a little outside the question? 14261 So you gave it up?" |
14261 | So you intend to find the silver? |
14261 | Still alone? |
14261 | Still, is n''t it slightly egotistical? 14261 That is niggardly?" |
14261 | That is what you would consider a soft job in this country? |
14261 | That wound of yours is troubling you? |
14261 | That''s correct? |
14261 | The Bluebird? |
14261 | The cattle? 14261 The coffee?" |
14261 | The great question is still unanswered? |
14261 | The lake? |
14261 | The ones who have too much to eat and too little to do, or the others who have to keep on doing something because they''re hungry? 14261 Then how are you going to pack Harry and the other things over the range?" |
14261 | Then is there any means of getting on to Cedar Valley? |
14261 | Then there is nothing I can do? |
14261 | Then what did you mean when you spoke about the dress packet? |
14261 | Then you had thought about it, Harry? |
14261 | Then you have n''t heard it yet? |
14261 | Then you two had trouble when you split? 14261 Then,"said Alton,"you ca n''t tell me?" |
14261 | Then,said Hallam, with a grin,"what''s your programme if I do n''t agree? |
14261 | Then,said Hallam,"Alton stands between you and this Carnaby property?" |
14261 | There are two kinds of men in this world, Charley, and which of them makes it go? |
14261 | There is silver in those mountains, then? |
14261 | There was a good deal of water coming down? |
14261 | They had a ranch up here? |
14261 | They have heard nothing yet? |
14261 | They have lost the money? |
14261 | They usually do, but we''ll surmise that in place of them we get the back- draughts from the Pole? |
14261 | Those were friends of yours from the old country? |
14261 | Thursday? |
14261 | Two of them? 14261 Very pretty and stylish, is n''t she? |
14261 | Waited for him when he was almost helpless and the man meant to murder him? |
14261 | Waited for him? |
14261 | Was it a rich vein? |
14261 | Was it very hard? |
14261 | Was n''t it a trifle foolish of Mrs. Forel? 14261 Was n''t there a paper you took from Damer?" |
14261 | Wasted? |
14261 | Well, was n''t it there? |
14261 | Well,said Alton a trifle curtly,"you did n''t come keeyowling through the bush like a prairie coyote to tell me that?" |
14261 | Well,said Alton,"tell me, Miss Nellie, were the lilies where the ashes hung over the lake? |
14261 | Well,said Okanagan,"did you ever hear of one that went for a horse close up with a tent before?" |
14261 | Well? |
14261 | What are you doing on my claim? |
14261 | What are you stopping for? 14261 What are you stopping for?" |
14261 | What are you thinking? |
14261 | What brings you here to talk of Carnaby? |
14261 | What could he do on Thursday? 14261 What did he charge you?" |
14261 | What do you make of that? |
14261 | What do you think of them? |
14261 | What do you wish to do? |
14261 | What has gone wrong with Deringham? |
14261 | What is that fellow? |
14261 | What kind of horse? |
14261 | What right have you and I to be going back to dinner when that girl has n''t enough to eat? |
14261 | What things? |
14261 | What was the end? |
14261 | What was the shooting for, and where''s your horse? |
14261 | What would any son do? 14261 What''s the difficulty?" |
14261 | What''s the meaning of this, Charley? |
14261 | What''s the meaning of this, Harry? |
14261 | What''s the use of wiring any one the names of cities? |
14261 | Whatever could have made you think that of me? |
14261 | Whatever made you say that? |
14261 | Where are you going, Harry? 14261 Where are you going, Harry?" |
14261 | Where has our accomplished companion gone to? |
14261 | Where have we got to, Tom? |
14261 | Where is your father? |
14261 | Where the brimstone does Mrs. Margery keep the scrubbing soap? |
14261 | Where were you going? |
14261 | Where''s Harry? |
14261 | Where''s Harry? |
14261 | Where''s the man who brought you here? |
14261 | Wherever did you get cigars of that kind from? 14261 Who is Mrs. Jimmy, and does her husband belong to Somasco?" |
14261 | Whose standing in with Alton of Somasco, boys? |
14261 | Why did you borrow that money from Mr. Hallam, father? 14261 Why not go on now?" |
14261 | Why should you suppose that, and venture to presume upon it? |
14261 | Why? |
14261 | Why? |
14261 | Will the pieces knit as they were before? |
14261 | Will you look up and tell me that again? |
14261 | Will you not see what I am, and how very different that is from what you think of me? |
14261 | Will you not think it over? |
14261 | Will you take that in to Miss Townshead, and not tell her who bought it? |
14261 | Will you wait a moment, please? |
14261 | Without telling me? 14261 Would it be presuming?" |
14261 | Would it be worth while? |
14261 | Would it have been possible for you to do anything to help them if you had reached the ranch in time? |
14261 | Would you be astonished to hear that Alton, who seems to have anticipated disaster, left you Carnaby by will? |
14261 | Ye will be asking about the place? |
14261 | Yes? |
14261 | Yes? |
14261 | Yes? |
14261 | You and Charley will miss us, then? |
14261 | You apparently read the Scriptures? |
14261 | You are a relation of hers? |
14261 | You are a socialist, then? |
14261 | You are an Englishman? |
14261 | You are not pleased with me? |
14261 | You are pleased that we have won? |
14261 | You are pleased with it? |
14261 | You are, however, really an Englishman, are n''t you? |
14261 | You can understand what I told you? |
14261 | You did not find it then? |
14261 | You do n''t know? |
14261 | You do n''t seem so confident about the other sex? |
14261 | You do not like England, then? |
14261 | You do not seem to like him? |
14261 | You do not suppose I should be openly resentful? |
14261 | You fancy there is one? |
14261 | You fancy you may have been wrong? |
14261 | You found nothing after I left you where the trail split tip? |
14261 | You got it? |
14261 | You had Deringham and Miss Deringham staying with you? |
14261 | You have got that down? 14261 You have had trouble with him before?" |
14261 | You have n''t been home? |
14261 | You have worked for him possibly? |
14261 | You heard him? |
14261 | You heard that woman? |
14261 | You heard what happened to your kinsman? |
14261 | You knew him, Charley? |
14261 | You know more about his partner? |
14261 | You know what day it is? |
14261 | You know who he is, Tom? 14261 You know, too?" |
14261 | You made one fire? |
14261 | You managed to crawl up? |
14261 | You mean in the city? |
14261 | You mean it? |
14261 | You mean that we ca n''t connect you with the horse- stealing? |
14261 | You mean they want security? |
14261 | You mean what kind of man he is? |
14261 | You mean? |
14261 | You taught Miss Townshead here? |
14261 | You think I can be of some use to you? |
14261 | You think he did? |
14261 | You think that would have counted? |
14261 | You took nothing with your breakfast, Harry? |
14261 | You want to tell her? 14261 You were alone, I think?" |
14261 | You will be contented now? |
14261 | You will be gone when we come back? |
14261 | You will think it is horribly too much? |
14261 | You''re going to make a dress of that stuff, Miss Nellie? |
14261 | You''re going to talk? |
14261 | You''re not feeling well? |
14261 | You''re through? |
14261 | You,said Miss Deringham, smiling,"are an optimist, then?" |
14261 | Your father is keeping all right? |
14261 | Your recent neighbour is not doing well down there? |
14261 | A little late to worry tired folks, is n''t it? |
14261 | Alton nodded,"Still, it must be worth a little, and would give the folks who lived there a standing in the old country?" |
14261 | Alton''s face remained impassive, but his voice was not quite in accordance with it as he said,"The police have no word of him?" |
14261 | Alton?" |
14261 | And the old place? |
14261 | And your other difficulties? |
14261 | And-- after all that has happened-- are you not foolish still? |
14261 | Anyway, I''ll do what I can for you, and now about that other car- load and the cattle?" |
14261 | Are not Abana and Pharfar better than all the waters of Israel?" |
14261 | Are you anywhere around?" |
14261 | Are you hurt, Harry, and what''s all this?" |
14261 | Are you ready, Tom?" |
14261 | Are you sorry you did n''t stop there, Charley?" |
14261 | But how long are you going to be stripping that fowl?" |
14261 | But was n''t there a lake?" |
14261 | Ca n''t you find that ice, Forel? |
14261 | Ca n''t you see that you are in the way of somebody who stands behind that man?" |
14261 | Ca n''t you tell me what it is?" |
14261 | Can you hear nothing?" |
14261 | Can you see them yet?" |
14261 | Can you tell me where he is?" |
14261 | Carnaby is n''t exactly what you call a rich property?" |
14261 | Cartier?" |
14261 | Charley, you''re a lucky man, but why have you been so long over it? |
14261 | Deringham?" |
14261 | Did I talk about that?" |
14261 | Did I tell him we had to negotiate Tyrer''s bond at a discount?" |
14261 | Did I tell you how I got it?" |
14261 | Did I tell you that Thorne called upon her?" |
14261 | Did anything else strike you, Charley?" |
14261 | Did you think for a moment that she would?" |
14261 | Do I know when Hallam will get it? |
14261 | Do n''t see any reason why you should n''t take a drink with me?" |
14261 | Do n''t you know Harry yet?" |
14261 | Do you happen to be on good terms with Mr. Hallam? |
14261 | Do you know anything better, Tom?" |
14261 | Do you know that what you have done means just everything to Somasco?" |
14261 | Do you know there is scarcely enough for breakfast in the house, and that I am dreadfully hungry now?" |
14261 | Do you think I do n''t know-- both of you-- better?" |
14261 | Do you think I should be content to take-- the second place?" |
14261 | Dropped a good many dollars that time, did n''t you?" |
14261 | Got hold of that, have n''t you? |
14261 | Had n''t you better go and bring them in, Harry?" |
14261 | Has Hallam got a hold upon the ranch?" |
14261 | Have the strawberries gone up, Harry?" |
14261 | Have you had many strangers round here?" |
14261 | He ceased and looked up at her suddenly as though the fear had left him, and the girl said very softly,"Do n''t you know me?" |
14261 | His voice was low and harsh as he asked,"Then what is to be done?" |
14261 | How long do we stay here?" |
14261 | How much would you care to spend, Harry?" |
14261 | I could borrow money upon it, or sell it?" |
14261 | I presume you know rancher Alton by the interest you show in him?" |
14261 | I still want to know what gave you the courage now?" |
14261 | I wonder if you can figure what his next move will be?" |
14261 | I wonder just how far back the other man is?" |
14261 | I''ll ready ye some pork and flapjacks?" |
14261 | If the man would sooner we did not see it, what did he make the fire for?" |
14261 | If you met a man riding along quietly what could you do to him?" |
14261 | Is he dead?" |
14261 | Is it fit for a lady?" |
14261 | Is it important to you?" |
14261 | Is it you?" |
14261 | Is n''t that so, Charley?" |
14261 | Is that you and the others, Tom?" |
14261 | Is that you, Harry?" |
14261 | Is there any reason why I should?" |
14261 | Is there any reason why a man should n''t do what is right because it suits him? |
14261 | Is there anything to be done?" |
14261 | It hurts me, Charley, but what could I do? |
14261 | It was opportune?" |
14261 | It would hurt her to be turned out of Carnaby?" |
14261 | It''s alluring, Harry?" |
14261 | Jack would n''t have gone up yonder if you had n''t wanted the dollars?" |
14261 | Margery?" |
14261 | Miss Deringham, I think?" |
14261 | Miss Townshead was working at something uncongenial for a livelihood, and was not especially cordial to you?" |
14261 | Now Miss Deringham has had a pretty good time in the old country?" |
14261 | Now did I put in anything about the Democrats going in?" |
14261 | Now do you believe I do not know what brought you here to- day?" |
14261 | Now do you think Miss Deringham was vexed because she did n''t get that fishing? |
14261 | Now has it struck you that there are things we might do?" |
14261 | Now when you get your notice you will send word to me?" |
14261 | Now where was I? |
14261 | Now you want to light out, leaving him to laugh at you?" |
14261 | Now you''re quite ready, you and Tom, to swear to the story you told me?" |
14261 | Now, are you going to gain anything by kicking against me?" |
14261 | Now, is there any use in looking for the fellow with the lariat?" |
14261 | Now, of course, you know what you can do, but is n''t it playing a little too much into your own hand? |
14261 | Now, there are some folks in the old country who''d be sorry if you do n''t come back?" |
14261 | Of course you heard nothing, Alton, from the roads and trails?" |
14261 | Oh, why can they not stop talking? |
14261 | Quite romantic, is n''t it? |
14261 | Quite sure nobody came here with any message for me about it that you forgot?" |
14261 | Shall I ask for some more for you?" |
14261 | Shall I put it on the stove?" |
14261 | Still, all that is a little outside the question, is n''t it?" |
14261 | Still, what do you want to leave the country for, anyway?" |
14261 | That can never be quite wiped out-- but what could I do?" |
14261 | That man did n''t like him before, and it''s quite possible he fell foul of Alton after it, but where does that take in me? |
14261 | That was a tolerably bad accident you had?" |
14261 | The man had a pistol and you took it from him?" |
14261 | The question is what did you hear?" |
14261 | The question is, will any of us come out again alive?" |
14261 | Then a cry came out of the shadows,"Is it you, Harry?" |
14261 | Then a voice came up,"Was n''t there a dry goods package of some kind, Charley?" |
14261 | Then he said,"If I admitted that you were right?" |
14261 | There remains the question is he willing?" |
14261 | There was a brief silence when he had finished, until one of the Englishmen said:"I presume things of that kind seldom happen now?" |
14261 | There was a time when you would have been driving to dinner with a diamond pin stuck in you and silk stockings on about this time, Charley?" |
14261 | There was relief in Alton''s face, which softened suddenly as he said,"And how is Miss Deringham?" |
14261 | There''s nothing going to hurt him, but it would n''t be wise to fool things, you understand?" |
14261 | These are your things, miss?" |
14261 | They find silver there?" |
14261 | Very sudden, was n''t it?" |
14261 | Was Damer the man who rode out for the railroad one snowy night, shortly before I started after Harry?" |
14261 | Was it the leg that kept you?" |
14261 | Was n''t there a man called Nailer mixed up in the affair?" |
14261 | What am I to do with this one?" |
14261 | What are we to do when we are turned out of the ranch, as we shall be very shortly?" |
14261 | What are you doing here anyway?" |
14261 | What are you going to do with Carnaby, Harry?" |
14261 | What are you going to do with it? |
14261 | What could he be doing?" |
14261 | What do you think, Tom?" |
14261 | What do you want them for?" |
14261 | What do you want?" |
14261 | What has taken him to the settlement, anyway?" |
14261 | What is the bidding now?" |
14261 | Where does it come from?" |
14261 | Where have you been all this time, Harry?" |
14261 | Where is Townshead going?" |
14261 | Where''s Nellie Townshead now?" |
14261 | Who was it told you?" |
14261 | Why is n''t Harry Alton or his partner here?" |
14261 | Would n''t it have been wiser if you had waited a little longer, Harry?" |
14261 | Would you like to follow with Charley, Miss Deringham?" |
14261 | You and your father live there, do n''t you?" |
14261 | You are going right ahead in this city?" |
14261 | You are of course influenced by a desire for his safety?" |
14261 | You are presumably an Englishman?" |
14261 | You did not think that-- because of anything which had happened-- I should be more apt to listen?" |
14261 | You do n''t know anything about bookkeeping, Charley?" |
14261 | You do n''t want him to get those dollars out of Carnaby?" |
14261 | You follow me?" |
14261 | You had, however, a tolerably mixed bag on that occasion?" |
14261 | You have some money by you?" |
14261 | You knew them in the old country?" |
14261 | You mean me?" |
14261 | You surely remember he is lying ill?" |
14261 | You think that is foolish of me? |
14261 | You understand these folks from the old country, Charley?" |
14261 | You were trying to figure on what I was after? |
14261 | You will lend us the house for a week or two?" |
14261 | You will not let him disturb you?" |
14261 | You would put the police on to me?" |
14261 | You''ll excuse me?" |
14261 | You''re not going to tell anybody, and repeat the mistake you made?" |
14261 | You''ve got that, Nellie? |
20418 | All? |
20418 | An''in the name of the seven wonders of creation, what for would you be getting down? |
20418 | An''wa''d ye have me expose the head of a mitherless bairn to a''the clack o''the auld geese in the settlement? 20418 An''who''s talking of killin'', ye young cut- throat? |
20418 | And did they,I cried, in spite of the injunction,"did they do that to you?" |
20418 | And have the whole pack of them sneaking after us? 20418 And how can I strike a man who saved my life?" |
20418 | And pray, Sir, what might''bunk''mean? |
20418 | And she could n''t be lost in Charlesbourg forest? |
20418 | And the stone? |
20418 | And there was an Indian encampment a few yards down the road? |
20418 | And was my little Eric at the hunt, and did he shoot an arrow all by himself? |
20418 | And what are the capers of this, my beast, compared to the antics of fate, Sir Priest? |
20418 | And what did I say about Frances? |
20418 | And where do you go? |
20418 | And why is that tent apart from the rest and who is in it? |
20418 | And womankind? |
20418 | And you forgive all? 20418 And you''re quite sure she is n''t in the house?" |
20418 | And----"And what? |
20418 | Are n''t you coming? 20418 Are there no dark halls in there, unsafe for you?" |
20418 | Are they with you? 20418 Are they with you?" |
20418 | Are those buffalo, Black Cat? |
20418 | Are ye Rufus Gillespie? |
20418 | Are you Gillespie? |
20418 | Are you among the prophets? |
20418 | Are you cold, now? |
20418 | Are you hurt, and at such a time? |
20418 | Are you ill, man? |
20418 | Are you men back? 20418 Are you men looking for trouble?" |
20418 | Are you mooning after the Little Statue already? |
20418 | Are you possessed? |
20418 | Are you sure you''ll be safe? |
20418 | Are you sure you''re safe? |
20418 | Are you there? |
20418 | Are you tired, Frances? |
20418 | Are-- they-- with-- you? |
20418 | Art satisfied? |
20418 | Aye-- is it Frances y''r speerin''after? |
20418 | Bad men? |
20418 | Bag him, eh? |
20418 | Be still-- you what? |
20418 | Because they saw you with me? |
20418 | Because----"Because what? |
20418 | Burning hay- ricks? |
20418 | But it did n''t succeed? |
20418 | But the Citadel paper? |
20418 | But the road, Eric? |
20418 | By Jove, Hamilton, we need it, do n''t we? |
20418 | Call that hard luck? |
20418 | Certainly we are, but get this truck to higher ground, will you? |
20418 | Colin Robertson-- the Nor''-Wester? |
20418 | Could n''t they have gone down the road to those Indian encampments? |
20418 | Crying? |
20418 | Dear love-- wherever are you? |
20418 | Did I rive ye sore, lad? |
20418 | Did I strike somebody? 20418 Did I strike somebody?" |
20418 | Did that spring up all of a sudden? |
20418 | Did the little wifie let him off for a night''s play? |
20418 | Did they torture you? |
20418 | Did ye ever-- did ever ye see such a little termagant, such a persuasive, commanding little queen of a termagant? |
20418 | Did you really expect him back alive from the Bloods? |
20418 | Do I? |
20418 | Do my eyes tell lies? 20418 Do n''t you know?" |
20418 | Do you find the way very far-- Frances? |
20418 | Do you know where he is? |
20418 | Do you need to ask with such a galaxy of nut- brown maidens? |
20418 | Do you really mean it? 20418 Do you really want to know how?" |
20418 | Do you think the_ Bois- Brulés_ would plunder your boats? |
20418 | Do-- with-- him? |
20418 | Do_ I_ scent matrimony? |
20418 | Eagles, are they? |
20418 | Eh? |
20418 | Eric Hamilton, are you mad? |
20418 | Faith, now, what might they all be doing with stars for diadems? 20418 For anything else?" |
20418 | For the trial of cases occurring? |
20418 | Friend, or foe? |
20418 | From whom? |
20418 | Game scarce on MacKenzie River? |
20418 | Gillespie, man, what''s wrong? 20418 Had him in your power-- knew what he''d done-- and-- and-- didn''t?" |
20418 | Hang it,drawled Colonel Adderly, a squatty man with an over- fed look on his bulging, red cheeks,"hang it, you do n''t expect Hamilton? |
20418 | Has any one seen Eric Hamilton? |
20418 | Has your Lordship some colonization scheme that you ask such pointed questions? |
20418 | Have I been here for months? |
20418 | Have n''t many brethren come from the same tribe more like warped branches than men? 20418 Have the Indians passed, or are they to come?" |
20418 | Have they been making ladders? |
20418 | Have ye as much as got a glint of her eye to- day? |
20418 | Have ye no seen Frances? |
20418 | Have you-- oh-- have you? |
20418 | He is coming? |
20418 | He''d let you hear about it to all eternity, too, would n''t he? |
20418 | Help you up? |
20418 | Hoo are ye, gillie? |
20418 | Hoo are ye, gillie? |
20418 | How are you going to get''em to her? |
20418 | How can I, Louis Laplante, son of a seigneur, strike a man who wo n''t hit back? |
20418 | How could we know that Selkirk would purchase controlling interest in Hudson''s Bay stock? 20418 How did you reach Fort Gibraltar?" |
20418 | How do you know he''s a spy? |
20418 | How do you know? |
20418 | How far,I began, with a curious inability to use my wits and tongue,"how far-- I mean how long have I been asleep, sir?" |
20418 | How stands the hour- glass? |
20418 | How strong are the Mandanes? |
20418 | How''s the cold in your head? |
20418 | Hudson''s Bay been tampering with your Indians? 20418 Hudson''s Bay, or Nor''-Wester?" |
20418 | I beg your pardon, gentlemen,said I,"what were you saying to Colonel Adderly?" |
20418 | I have had? |
20418 | I say,called one, who had been dazed by the splendor,"how do you tell which is the lookin''glass and which is the window?" |
20418 | I say,exclaimed a man joining the group,"d''y''hear the news? |
20418 | If you meant to stay at the fort, why did n''t you decide sooner? |
20418 | Interesting and delightful? |
20418 | Is Diable among them? |
20418 | Is Diable here? |
20418 | Is Eric sleepy? |
20418 | Is Mr. Sutherland an H. B. C. or Nor''-Wester? |
20418 | Is boy sleepy? |
20418 | Is it a cold night? |
20418 | Is it a long story, Rufus? |
20418 | Is it a pretty story, Rufus? |
20418 | Is it white? |
20418 | Is it you, Eric? 20418 Is it you, really you, looking as old as your great grandfather? |
20418 | Is it your wife, Miriam, and your boy? |
20418 | Is that all about Diable, Eric? |
20418 | Is that all? |
20418 | Is that in our honor? |
20418 | Is that the tribe? |
20418 | Is that true about the Indian kidnapping a woman? |
20418 | Is that true? |
20418 | Is that you, Eric? |
20418 | Is this Sunday? |
20418 | It is n''t so cold as-- as that, is it? |
20418 | It was daylight, Eric? |
20418 | Know any of them? |
20418 | Know they-- what for-- you come? |
20418 | Le Grand Diable-- did you see him? |
20418 | Le Grand Diable? |
20418 | Let go-- is ut ye''re orderin''me? |
20418 | Looks thin, does n''t he? 20418 Lots of confidential talks with her, I suppose?" |
20418 | Louis,I commanded, utterly out of patience,"what of Miriam? |
20418 | Louis,said I, trying to fathom the meaning of his wink,"are those Indians to come yet?" |
20418 | Mane it? |
20418 | Marry!--What? |
20418 | May I not come? |
20418 | Miriam, what has happened? |
20418 | Mr. Sutherland,I cried, with all the impatience of a child,"please tell me, where is your daughter?" |
20418 | My devil, or yours? |

20418 | No? |
20418 | Nor''-Wester, but what does that matter? 20418 Not a word for y''rself?" |
20418 | Not know what? |
20418 | Now, Louis, what do you mean by this nonsense? |
20418 | Now, how shall I pay you? |
20418 | O Uncle MacKenzie,said I with a wry face,"do you measure your own wine so?" |
20418 | Oh, is it only you? 20418 Only wisdom?" |
20418 | Out of your reckoning already? |
20418 | Out wid y''r nonsense, and what good are y''thinkin''ye''ll do--? 20418 Pay me?" |
20418 | Please see if they fit, Sir? 20418 Rufus,"he whispered softly,"where are they taking me?" |
20418 | See those stones? |
20418 | Shioux squaw-- Devil''s wife-- how you say it in English? 20418 Sir Alexander was a first cousin of yours, was he not?" |

20418 | That-- that thing-- that bear-- that bruin-- he a friend? |
20418 | That-- your messenger for me? |
20418 | The gentleman wants to know if the lady objects to having her place usurped? |
20418 | The little-- what? |
20418 | Then what shall we do with him? |
20418 | There''ll be a collision anyway when Cameron and Grant reach Red River-- eh, Cuthbert? |
20418 | There''s a fountain- spout in Nor''-West vaults for those who know where to tap the spigot, eh, Louis? |
20418 | These-- are they all friends? |

20418 | To whom? |
20418 | Tremble? 20418 Troth, yes, lad, where are they taking me? |
20418 | Very far? |
20418 | Very near? 20418 Was it worth while this year?" |
20418 | Was that all? |
20418 | Was-- was-- Laplante-- in that? |
20418 | We do n''t display our little amours----"No,broke in the other,"we just display our little contours and get snubbed, eh?" |
20418 | Well, Gillespie, when you take yours up, take mine along, too, will you? 20418 Well,"said I, with a laugh, which surprised the rascals mightily,"now you''ve captured your elephant, what do you propose to do with him?" |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Well? |
20418 | Were a few Nor''-Westers so successful in holding back the Metis at Seven Oaks, you''d like to see that experiment repeated? |

20418 | What are you going to do with the settlers, Cuthbert? |
20418 | What are you here for? 20418 What boats?" |
20418 | What did this, Little Fellow? |
20418 | What did you say you had found? |
20418 | What do those mean, Little Fellow? |
20418 | What do ye say, mon? 20418 What do you know about Laplante?" |
20418 | What do you mean, young woman? |
20418 | What do you mean? 20418 What do you mean?" |
20418 | What do you want here, man? |
20418 | What do you want, yourself? |
20418 | What for-- come you-- here? |

20418 | What words wu''l ye have me bear to her, lad? |
20418 | What''d y''do it for, Gillespie? 20418 What''ll we do with him?" |

20418 | What''s wrong with ye? |
20418 | What''s wrong, Father? |
20418 | What''s wrong, young man? |
20418 | What''s wrong? 20418 What''s wrong?" |
20418 | What''s your plan? |

20418 | Who is that? |
20418 | Who should know better than you? 20418 Who''s afraid, Black Cat? |
20418 | Why did he say that? |
20418 | Why did you lie to them? |
20418 | Why do n''t you answer? |
20418 | Why else do I hide you in my tent? 20418 Why not leave them in the fort till things quiet down?" |
20418 | Why, Gillespie,called a voice,"what in the world are you doing here?" |
20418 | Why? |
20418 | Will he be back? |
20418 | With all the Indians of Red River in possession of that fort? |
20418 | With what? |
20418 | With you? |
20418 | Ye blunder- busticus, ye, what have ye been doing? |
20418 | Yes, do n''t you know you''ve been talking in torrents for the past ten minutes? 20418 Yes-- why? |
20418 | You are going for Miriam? |
20418 | You coming too? |
20418 | You got away too quick for them? |
20418 | You know I lie to you in the gorge? |
20418 | You know what that lie mean--and he hesitated--"mean to her-- to Miriam?" |
20418 | You, Gillespie? |
20418 | You? 20418 Your daughter is not at home?" |
20418 | _ Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes_----"Is Gillespie here? |
20418 | _ Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea_----"Some one here before us? |
20418 | _ Us?_she asked. |
20418 | _ Voilà, Monsieur?_said the_ habitant_, which made four words for that day. |
20418 | ***** Need I say what door opened, what hands drew me in and chafed life into the benumbed being? |
20418 | *****"How can I thank you for what you have done?" |
20418 | Am I going mad? |
20418 | Am I to believe that?" |
20418 | An''ye claver sic''nonsense when ye''re daft, what would ye say when ye''re sane? |
20418 | And did she flare back at me? |
20418 | And do you know, Rufus, I never could thank you all? |
20418 | And the Sioux did not eat you by inches, beginning with your thumbs? |
20418 | And the fellows''ve got to stretch their necks to come up to her ideas of what''s proper, that''s why she''s a stature, ai n''t it? |
20418 | And what else, indeed? |
20418 | And what were they decreeing? |
20418 | Are there any bleeding hearts in the bush?" |
20418 | Are they ahead? |
20418 | Are they with you?" |
20418 | Are we playing jest is earnest, or earnest is jest?" |
20418 | Are you getting the bench?" |
20418 | Are you mad?" |
20418 | Are you mad?" |
20418 | Besides, was I not returning to one who was peerless? |
20418 | But sisters do mending, do n''t they?" |

20418 | Ca n''t you borrow one from the Indians? |

20418 | Can I do anything to repay you for your trouble in bringing me here?" |
20418 | Can any man blame me for breaking through the thicket and my resolution and discretion and all? |
20418 | Can you go as trader for your people? |
20418 | Can_ you_ see anything up there?" |

20418 | Did Little Fellow doubt their word? |
20418 | Did Louis act from the love of acting and trickery and intrigue? |
20418 | Did she not bind the white woman? |
20418 | Did she not drag me over the ground like a dead stag? |
20418 | Did she not slay La Robe Noire? |
20418 | Did she not slay the white man before Monsieur''s eyes? |
20418 | Did the Nor''-Wester and I hesitate, and look from the man to the dagger, and from the dagger to the man; or is this an evil dream from a black past? |
20418 | Did you find out anything?" |
20418 | Did you find this--"indicating the spear handle--"there?" |
20418 | Did you hear anything special in the fort that night?" |
20418 | Did you see it?" |
20418 | Do I understand ye clearly, there''s no prisoners with ye?" |
20418 | Do n''t you know any of them?" |
20418 | Do you forget?" |
20418 | Do you hear any one calling for help? |
20418 | Do you hear anything? |
20418 | Do you hear the bells? |
20418 | Do you know, you baggage, that you are delaying this young man in a matter that is of life- and- death importance? |
20418 | Do you raise the tomahawk, or pipe of peace? |
20418 | Do you remember how you saved my life twice from the Sioux, Louis?" |
20418 | Do you think Father Holland would take''em up?" |
20418 | Do you think I stay here for nothing? |
20418 | Do you think I was old Cam''s private secretary for nothin''? |
20418 | Does the physician justify medical experiments on the criminal, or the sacrificial priest the driving of the scape- goat into the wilderness? |
20418 | Drunk is he?" |
20418 | Eh? |
20418 | For the Lord''s sake, boy, do you expect to find the woman by believing in that bloated bugaboo?" |
20418 | For the sake of the old days, Louis, help to undo the wrong you allowed? |
20418 | For them, what motive but to vindicate their bravery? |
20418 | For was it not written in my inner consciousness that destiny had appointed me to the wild, free life of the north? |
20418 | For what was he coming to Red River in this warlike fashion? |
20418 | Had I not dared all? |
20418 | Had I not read, or heard, of departed spirits hovering near loved ones? |
20418 | Had I, by some strange irony, been led to this spot that I might witness the death of my foe? |
20418 | Had I, too, lost grip of reality; or was she in distress calling for me? |
20418 | Had any one come and driven her to the city? |
20418 | Had he gone to keep secret guard over the priest, or to decoy the vigilant Sioux woman? |
20418 | Had he incriminated Diable to save himself? |
20418 | Had he lied? |
20418 | Had my jerk disturbed whatever it was and sent it rolling down to mid- current? |
20418 | Had not these men gone north young and full of hope, as I was going? |
20418 | Had she known of our efforts at all? |
20418 | Had we not more to fear from living? |
20418 | Had_ Monsieur_ examined the clearing between the house and the forest? |
20418 | Hamilton,"exclaimed Uncle Jack MacKenzie, who was facing Eric as I came up behind,"have you been in a race or a fight?" |
20418 | Hamilton?" |
20418 | Hamilton?" |
20418 | Hast Thou no pity? |
20418 | Hast Thou no pity? |
20418 | Have n''t I spent my life among them? |
20418 | Have you brought the tribe as you promised?" |
20418 | Have you more of that kind?" |
20418 | Here were close- fitted boards-- here, iron- lining-- this must be the gate; but where was the lantern that hung behind? |
20418 | How came it that I was in the woods slushing through damp mold up to my ankles in black ooze? |
20418 | How came it that a Catholic priest lay under a Protestant roof? |
20418 | How can I tell how long I hung there? |
20418 | How could we know he''d secure a land grant in the very heart of our domain?" |
20418 | How d''y''know we''re not here to warn ye about the fort? |
20418 | How did you get away? |
20418 | How did you know I was there?" |
20418 | How do I know? |
20418 | How far by the Beauport road?" |
20418 | How long since you left the Sioux?" |
20418 | How many men have made that vow regarding the woman they love? |
20418 | How many more half- breeds were beneath that cliff? |
20418 | How shall I pay you?" |
20418 | I ca n''t stand the sisterly business, Frances----""Have you suffered much from the sisterly?" |
20418 | I cried, exasperated with myself,"Where''s Fort Gibraltar? |
20418 | I exclaimed, rounding him back from the hill,"Ca n''t you stop this nonsense and sit still for only two days more, or must I tie you up? |
20418 | I run forward, I find Le Petit Garçon-- how you call him?--Leetle Fellow? |
20418 | I see where it ought to be, where the towers ought to be higher than that brush, but where''s the fort?" |
20418 | I thank you-- Father Holland-- is it not? |
20418 | If the Indians had such fear, why had this band camped within a mile of the pest tent? |
20418 | If the worst happened and I were captured, had I the courage to endure Indian tortures? |
20418 | If they wo n''t take our boats to the States, or Canada, what else can Nor''-Westers do?" |
20418 | Is it to be peace or war? |
20418 | Is it you or your ghost?" |
20418 | Is language for the use of man, or man for the use of language?" |
20418 | Is no this fine? |
20418 | Is that a child crying?" |
20418 | Is that woman Miriam?" |
20418 | Is the Indian less brave than the pale face?" |
20418 | Is this Thy pity? |
20418 | Joke-- ain''t it?" |
20418 | Lah Grawnd Deeahble,"and he mouthed over our mispronunciation of his own tongue"Joke, is n''t it?" |
20418 | Lord, boy, why did n''t ye stay with that peppery Scotchman? |
20418 | May it please Her Majesty to grant a token to her leal and devoted knight----""What is thy request?" |
20418 | Me hearty, but what was that?" |
20418 | Miriam, the guiltless, was suffering at his hands; should not he, the guilty, suffer at ours? |
20418 | Must not she do the same? |
20418 | My God, men, how can I tell you? |
20418 | Need I say the voice brought me to my feet at one leap? |
20418 | No-- no-- and we''ve been hunting house and garden for hours----""And the forest?" |
20418 | No? |
20418 | Noo, d''ye no hear the clack o''the geese through yon open window?" |
20418 | Now, Rufus, where are your men? |
20418 | Now, what was there in those replies to cause happiness? |
20418 | Now, who''s appointed to trade with the buffalo hunters but y''r very self?" |
20418 | Of course, I should have gone----""And would it have mended matters if you''d been held hostage too?" |
20418 | Pray, who is he?" |
20418 | Putting out his hand he said--"Is it all right with us again, Rufus, old man?" |
20418 | Quick, Miriam, will you try?" |
20418 | Raising his brows in question, Mr. Jack MacKenzie touched his forehead and whispered across to me--"Mad?" |
20418 | Say, babe, why do n''t y''r fill y''r hat with''em and put''em in her tent?" |
20418 | Say, great chief of the Mandanes, what is thy answer?" |
20418 | Shall I whistle for them?" |
20418 | Shall not a sparrow fall to the ground without Thy knowledge? |
20418 | Shall we be friends or enemies? |
20418 | She do n''t pay more attention to you than if you wuz a stump, that''s why she''s a statue, ai n''t it? |
20418 | She may be drown;"whispered Louis,"but we creep on, quiet like hare, no noise like deer, stiller than mountain cat, hist-- what that?" |
20418 | Should I make the final, desperate dash now? |
20418 | Should I wait to be smoked out of my hole, like a badger, or a raccoon? |
20418 | Simpleton-- you think Louis a fool?" |
20418 | Sounds funny in this desert, do n''t it?" |
20418 | Surely you do n''t treasure any grudge yet?" |

20418 | Tell us, what doth the Mandane offer for the blood of the young man? |
20418 | That post, too, might be destroyed; but where were Hamilton and Father Holland? |
20418 | That was true; for had not forty- eight hours passed since I had regained consciousness and I had heard neither her footsteps nor her voice? |
20418 | That''s the way of it, is it?" |
20418 | That''s why she''s a statute, ai n''t it?" |
20418 | The pulpit silenced-- though that''s a big contract-- mankind labeled, what for women?" |
20418 | The water''s shallow there----""What do_ you_ think?" |
20418 | Then, why had Diable rescued his betrayer? |
20418 | To the buffalo hunt first, then, south? |
20418 | Too well I read the signs and knew the summons; and what can love, or gratitude, do in the presence of that summons? |
20418 | Torture, burning, or the cool wash of a black wave gurgling over one''s head? |
20418 | Want them all, Eric?" |
20418 | Was I a part of the new happiness? |
20418 | Was Miriam within range of those smoke signals? |
20418 | Was he befooling the daughter of L''Aigle, or me? |
20418 | Was it a beaver, or my Indian pursuers? |
20418 | Was it old Cameron?" |
20418 | Was it the apprehension of fear, or the buzzing in my ears, that suggested the faint, far- away echo of a clamoring multitude? |
20418 | Was it the influence of this slip of a girl, I wonder, that a curious change came over our crews? |
20418 | Was it the wind, or a low sigh, or a silent weeping, that I heard? |
20418 | Was that the lad I had known? |
20418 | Was the Sioux squaw from the other lodge listening? |
20418 | Was the Sioux wife with her white slave really in the north country, or was she near, and did that explain my morose Iroquois''all- night vigils? |
20418 | Was the apparition in the Mandane lodge some portent? |
20418 | Was the fellow really delirious? |
20418 | Was the man spying on me? |
20418 | Was the policy, that ended so tragically a year afterwards, adopted at this meeting? |

20418 | Was this Miriam? |
20418 | Was this Miriam? |
20418 | Was this an illusion, or was I, too, going mad? |
20418 | Was this the end of that long career of evil? |
20418 | Was this the_ avant- courier_ of the Hudson''s Bay, delayed, like ourselves, by the storm? |
20418 | Watched? |
20418 | We had befooled Louis into a betrayal of his associates but how much reliance could be placed on that betrayal? |
