35985Do you ever try?
35985Do you realize, Amy, that you use much more slang than before you went to college?
35985Do you really like them?
35985Do you suppose it will come any higher? 35985 Do you suppose there''s a moat?"
35985Do you think that is true?
35985Do you think that she will be blind?
35985Do you think that your mother would like to change her plans?
35985Does every one here speak French, Monsieur?
35985Does he mean to snub me?
35985For Martine?
35985Four race elements?
35985French Cross?
35985From Halifax?
35985Go with us?
35985Good- day, little one,he called;"where are you going?"
35985Has she a first name, and one so frivolous as''Audrey''? 35985 Have Acadians any real love for France?"
35985Have we seen all that we can see?
35985Have we seen all that we can see?
35985Have you made up your minds yet, ladies, about going?
35985Have you never been there?
35985Have you said this to Martine?
35985Have you seen all that you care to see at Grand Pré?
35985He thinks enough of himself, does n''t he?
35985How did you get it?
35985How did you know?
35985How does it happen, Madame Bourque,asked Martine, mischievously,"that your hotel is the Hotel Paris?
35985How far is it to Little Brook?
35985How far is it to the station?
35985How happens it?
35985How in the world did you remember so much?
35985How in the world should I know? 35985 How will they get here?"
35985I ca n''t say that I do generally, only you remember that foggy afternoon when you girls were all so busy writing letters? 35985 I did not think that it would be quite so lonely; but still, you''re sure it''s perfectly safe?"
35985I remember Biencourt,she added meekly;"he had a very hard time, had n''t he?"
35985I wonder what Alexandre meant?
35985I''ve noticed the Parliament building, but what is the Government House?
35985If any one is to reprove me you are the one, Mrs. Redmond, whom I should prefer to administer the reproof; but what is the trouble now? 35985 Is Mrs. Redmond worried?"
35985Is it a school, or a church?
35985Is it far?
35985Is it not wonderful,she said,"that all this great building is restored since the fire of two years ago?
35985Is it not wonderful?
35985Is it quite safe to drink from an old well?
35985Is n''t it fun?
35985Is n''t the view fine, and the air just perfect? 35985 Is she,--is she quite well?"
35985Is that another protégée?
35985Is this your little girl?
35985Is your gown quite suitable for a walk on a dusty road?
35985It does n''t seem quite the thing on Sunday, does it?
35985It is n''t as old as Harvard, is it?
35985It sounds like hay fever, does n''t it? 35985 Let me ask you a favor--""To say no more about them?"
35985Look, Martine; what shall we do?
35985Martine,said Mrs. Redmond, before the carriage arrived,"have you written to Yvonne?"
35985Meteghan?
35985Must we go in the boat?
35985My dear Martine, where is your history? 35985 My feelings?
35985Of course they were French, but why did they know so much about dykes and such things?
35985Oh, Amy,she cried,"how could you be so careless?"
35985Oh, Martine,cried the latter,"where have you been?
35985Oh, ca n''t you recite a part of it?
35985Oh, dear, did I really leave it lying about?
35985Oh, excuse me, Sambo-- I mean, Mr. Malachai Robertson-- could you find me a good smart boy to carry this pail?
35985Oh, the runic stone?
35985Oh, yes, of course; do you mean to ask if he is in our family? 35985 Oh, yes,"said Amy;"I came across some lines to- day that I copied,"and she began to recite:"''The memory of the Red Man, How can it pass away?
35985Packing?
35985Perhaps Sambo here-- is your name Sambo?
35985Pierre,Amy asked, not knowing just what to say to the old- fashioned boy,"do you care for''Evangeline''?"
35985Pierre,interposed Amy,"you describe things very well; what do you intend to be when you grow up?"
35985Pubnico?
35985Settled by Americans?
35985Shall I put this magazine in your bag?
35985Shall we go home through Clare? 35985 Shall you object if we call this Evangeline''s well?"
35985She_ is_ looking for something, is n''t she, Priscilla?
35985So you''re lost, are you?
35985Southerners?
35985Speaking of haunted regions,said Priscilla,"though I do n''t know why I think of him just now, what do you suppose has happened to Mr. Knight?
35985Such as Balfour Airton?
35985Talk of babbling brooks,she murmured;"did you ever hear anything like it?"
35985Tell me,she said,"and please do n''t let the others hear or they will laugh-- is Halifax the capital of Canada?"
35985Tell me,whispered Martine,"are n''t you disappointed?"
35985That reminds me,said Priscilla;"who were the Acadians, that is, where did they come from in the first place?
35985The Blacks?
35985The Norsemen in Nova Scotia? 35985 Then this is n''t Grand Pré?"
35985Then what was he doing down here in Nova Scotia?
35985Then who first built this fort?
35985Then you think you will go there?
35985There, there, Lucian, do n''t be too affectionate until I explain--"Explain what?
35985There,said Lucian, as he returned to Priscilla''s side,"wo n''t Mrs. Redmond and the others stare when they behold this load?"
35985This is a funny little church, is n''t it?
35985To the grandmother?
35985Very well, Martine; but tell me honestly, would n''t you prefer to sit with mamma? 35985 Very well, since you know so much, where are the keys?"
35985Was he an English general?
35985Was n''t he funny, with his''you Americans,''as if we were some strange species?
35985Was n''t this all French country through here?
35985Was that other man a negro, too, who went out with him?
35985We have n''t offended him?
35985Well, we met a girl this summer whose grandmother''s name was Audrey Balfour, and what I want to know is-- are we related to her?
35985Well, what''s the matter with the little spade?
35985Were your people Loyalists?
35985What became of La Tour?
35985What became of the Scotch?
35985What did you save?
35985What did you say?
35985What do others say?
35985What do you call yourself? 35985 What do you want him to do?"
35985What does Fritz say?
35985What good is a college education to them?
35985What happened?
35985What have I heard of French Cross?
35985What have you been doing, Priscilla?
35985What kept you so long, Martine? 35985 What makes Windsor seem so very new?"
35985What next?
35985What was the matter with her?
35985What''s in a name?
35985What''s your name?
35985Where are the wigwams? 35985 Where are you going?"
35985Where does she live?
35985Where have I heard that name?
35985Where is Martine? 35985 Where you live?"
35985Where''s Fritz?
35985Where''s Martine?
35985Where?
35985Which, the boy or the girl?
35985Who is it then, besides Priscilla, who wishes to cut Windsor?
35985Who is this paragon, this''Amy''? 35985 Who sent them away?"
35985Why are you so sure?
35985Why did n''t I know of that before?
35985Why did n''t the French settle Digby?
35985Why did n''t they go? 35985 Why did you go back to your room, Martine?
35985Why did you take it from the lock? 35985 Why do they call your brother''Taps''?"
35985Why not ask your father to invest in Alexander''s gold mine?
35985Why not? 35985 Why not?"
35985Why not?
35985Why should n''t it be all right travelling?
35985Why should n''t you?
35985Why should this particular train be on time on this particular day? 35985 Why was I so foolish as to borrow Amy''s bicycle?"
35985Why, Martine?
35985Why, how did you know I was here?
35985Why, what is the matter, child?
35985Why,asked Martine,"did that Virginian-- Argall, I think you called him-- wish to interfere with the French?
35985Why?
35985Will it come all the way in? 35985 Wo n''t you enter?"
35985Would the ladies care to see the chapel?
35985Would you care to give up Windsor now?
35985Yes, and do n''t you think that Lucian himself is a dear?
35985Yes, but how did you know?
35985Yes, my dear,gasped Mrs. Redmond;"but would you move your arm-- just a little?
35985Yes, yes, you are right; by standing back here we can at least keep dry, but oh, dear, when shall we get out?
35985You are an American?
35985You are not afraid, are you?
35985You are not angry, are you?
35985You did not think those rugs really beautiful?
35985You do n''t think that all on your side were good, do you,asked Eunice,"and that all on ours were bad?"
35985You like that?
35985You were dreadfully worried, were n''t you, Prissie,said Martine, mischievously,"over the chocolates that I offered you last evening?
35985Your gold out?
35985''Away?
35985***** They come as Puritans, but who shall say their hearts are blind To the subtle charms of nature, and the love of humankind?
35985--said her companion,"and you from Chicago, where people are supposed to think and dream about flour and grain?
35985Airton?"
35985Am I in danger of catching anything new?"
35985And you did n''t know that Membertou, that old Indian, is reckoned the first convert made in America?
35985Any one would suppose that the Digby chicken is the only fish that grows here; yet really and truly we have n''t seen one, have we, since our arrival?
35985Are n''t apples the prize crop here?"
35985Are n''t you a girl?"
35985Are they coming down?"
35985Are they the real thing?
35985As it was, this word happened to irritate her, and she responded in a tone that disturbed Amy:"Oh, did you say that Mr. Airton is younger than you?
35985But I wonder if I ought to keep the money?"
35985But are n''t you glad that mamma is better?
35985But he is ridiculous, is n''t he, with his walking- stick, and his English accent in an out- of- the- way place like this?"
35985But hello, what''s this?
35985But how do you happen to know about this Audrey Balfour?"
35985But is n''t it splendid?
35985But it there-- in the capital of our Province?
35985But listen, is n''t that some one calling?"
35985But now I think they''re just great; do n''t you?"
35985But now--""Oh, is this an old French church?"
35985But tell me, Amy, I''ve forgotten; did Champlain build this fort?"
35985But that will be only to Acadia, and I shall have to wait so long, until he has a law practice-- and when will that be?
35985But where have_ you_ been, Martine?"
35985But why did n''t they discover the stone before?"
35985But, Pierre,"added Amy,"you have n''t told us all that you know, have you?
35985CHAPTER XII IN THE FOG In the meantime, where was Martine?
35985CHAPTER XIII LETTERS AND SOME COMMENTS"Do you realize that we have only a day or two longer in Annapolis?"
35985Ca n''t we get away soon?"
35985Ca n''t you trust us?"
35985Chapter VI PIERRE AND POINT À L''ÉGLISE"Ah, why should she wish to see you, the American young lady?
35985Coats have to be kind of tailor- made and fitted, do n''t they?"
35985Come, come, do n''t you understand?
35985Dear me, where have you been brought up?"
35985Did n''t we banish ourselves when we were bid, and keep out of sight, until we heard that you had been almost destroyed by fire?
35985Did n''t you tell me that she comes from Chicago?"
35985Did n''t you tell me that this was one of their favorite routes?"
35985Did you ever hear of such cruelty?"
35985Did you ever hear the name''Balfour''in our family-- in mother''s family, I mean?"
35985Did you have one too, mamma?"
35985Did you know that was her name?"
35985Did you think of digging a grave, or anything of that kind, sister, when you brought this along?
35985Do n''t they sound like real old Puritans?"
35985Do n''t you hear it?"
35985Do n''t you remember our new cousins, the Airtons?
35985Do you know anything about him?"
35985Do you know whether we had any Tories in our family?"
35985Do you notice all the flowers in these little gardens?
35985Do you suppose Madame and her children know the names of them all?"
35985Do you think of paying afternoon visits?"
35985From what?''
35985Have I proved my case?"
35985Have n''t you some stories that your mother or grandmother has told you?"
35985Have you plans, or will you permit me to make a suggestion?"
35985Have you written to Pierre yet?"
35985He may come in, may he not?"
35985How did he happen to escape when Argall destroyed the fort?"
35985How did that happen?"
35985How did you happen to think of sending for the lace?
35985How do they manage to make them stay on one ear?
35985I do n''t care anything about Mrs. Blair''s grandmother, but if there''s a Balfour in mamma''s family, do n''t you see how splendid it would be?"
35985I suppose that I may look at the postmarks?"
35985I wonder if that would do for us?"
35985I''d like to be fair, but still--"Yes, Priscilla meant to be fair, but still-- what was the trouble?
35985If she found such things, why not I, for it''s a true story, is n''t it?"
35985In an instant Mrs. Redmond had read the despatch, while Amy asked anxiously,"Is it anything serious, mamma?"
35985In an instant half a dozen tongues were loudly exclaiming,"Why, Fritz, how in the world did you find us?"
35985In the meantime, is there anything that I can do for you?
35985Is it far?"
35985Is it not marvellous that they have grown to be so much, when the English treated them so cruelly, long, long ago?"
35985Is it really true that you''re starting North to- day?"
35985Is n''t he considerably taller?"
35985Is n''t she a goose?"
35985Is n''t that history,"she asked gravely,"as well as Longfellow?"
35985Is she not charming?"
35985It wo n''t do me the least little bit of good, and you would n''t waste even a scolding, would you?"
35985Louis?"
35985May I walk with you part way up- town?
35985Next month he is to make an address at some reunion of Spanish War Veterans; does n''t it seem absurd to call him a veteran?
35985Of course I know he drove me home, but who is he?"
35985Only-- if you''ll excuse my saying so-- who ever heard of any one''s resting or studying on a pleasure- trip?
35985Pierre,"she added in a louder tone,"you are so interested in your people, can you tell us about those who founded Little Brook?"
35985Placide?"
35985Please, Mr. Babet, can she go back with us?"
35985Priscilla exclaimed, when Amy began to talk about De Monts and Poutrincourt;"when shall we hear about the English?"
35985Redmond?"
35985Shall we have a chance to see Yvonne?"
35985She makes me think of the New Yorker who said to a Chicago woman,''How can you bear to live so far away?''
35985Some Americans--""How did you know that we were Americans?"
35985Surely you ca n''t object to my being here?"
35985That is n''t slang is it, Miss Amy Redmond?
35985Then Balfour turned to Amy:"Would not you and Miss Martine drive with me?
35985This is Meteghan, is n''t it?"
35985To her surprise, at first he did not respond to her"What''s your name?"
35985Toward Annapolis-- but where was Annapolis?
35985Was n''t Mrs. Lufkins entertaining?
35985Was the latter able to find some flaw in what she herself considered altogether perfect?
35985Well, do you know that he died here in Halifax?
35985Well, perhaps there''s no harm in that, if it pleases you; but what is there in it for me?
35985Were they exiles, too, like the Acadians and the Loyalists?"
35985What could be the matter?
35985What do you say?"
35985What have you been doing?"
35985What if Priscilla should really suffer from this escapade?
35985What in the world has she to do with-- anything?"
35985What is Martine like?"
35985What put that into your head?"
35985What should she do?
35985Where did she go?"
35985Where do you suppose the buggies are going?"
35985Where have you been?"
35985While Musquodoboit''s waters Roll sparkling to the main, While falls the laughing sunbeam On Chegoggin''s fields of grain?''"
35985While their names of music linger, On each mount and stream and bay?
35985Who is going with her?"
35985Why did n''t they stay on our side in the Revolution?"
35985Why did you come with me, Priscilla?
35985Why do you suppose she is unwilling to go?"
35985Why were they so long in coming?"
35985Why, Priscilla, why, Martine, where have you been?"
35985Why, what has become of Martine?"
35985Will you make poor Yvonne wear it now?"
35985Would this suit you, Yvonne?"
35985Would you care to call there?
35985You are American,--is it not so?"
35985You did n''t set the fire, did you, sister?"
35985You will go there, without doubt?"
35985You wo n''t deny that you have some English blood in your veins?"
35985You''ll admit that?"
35985[ Illustration:"''Why, what is the matter, child?''
35985and if we are, what''s the difference?
35985asked Amy,--"to let you adopt her?
35985asked Martine;"who is Balfour?
35985or do they speak with a Stratford atte Bow accent?
35985she shouted""170"''Why, what is the matter, child?''
35985they are strange, the Americans; you are going, perhaps, to the Hotel Paris?"
41296A boy or a girl?
41296About what, you small bother?
41296Agapit, is it not time that we embark?
41296Agapit, thou dost remember thy mother a very little, is it not so?
41296Agapit, would a man weary of me?
41296Agapit,said Rose, pleadingly,"will you not greet my husband after all these years?"
41296Agapit,she murmured,"Agapit,"yet her glance did not leave Vesper''s face,"can we not tell him?"
41296Agapit,she said, in amazement,"wouldst thou insult me?"
41296Agapit,she said, suddenly, and in sweet, patient alarm,"are we getting old, you and I?"
41296Agapit,--should not a mother hear of her little one?
41296Ah, Joe à Jack, where is thy doubloon?
41296Ah, why is life so?
41296Ai n''t he ben plumped down there ever since supper, Claude?
41296Am I English?
41296Am I the modern Evangeline?
41296Am I?
41296An usher,--in a theatre?
41296An''what''s a science?
41296An''what''s that?
41296An''what''s the Premier?
41296And are they not?
41296And are you melancholy this evening because you are thinking that my mother and I must soon leave?
41296And did not your heart stir with pity for the unfortunate Acadiens?
41296And do you know my daughter?
41296And do you think there is nothing I can do for this little renegade?
41296And dost thou care? 41296 And dost thou not find her beautiful?
41296And has he much money, that he wishes to aid this family of Acadiens?
41296And he does not wish his name known?
41296And it is she that the blacksmith is going to marry? 41296 And the child of Rose à Charlitte?"
41296And the contrast, what is it?
41296And the hotels,--are they good?
41296And the soldiers?
41296And what do you imagine they are?
41296And what do you think of me?
41296And what have you been doing with yourself since I have been away?
41296And what of Jean?
41296And what shall I do?
41296And while he is with you, you will have some instruction in his own religion given him?
41296And who will take his place?
41296And why do the girls know the ships?
41296And why should I be irritable?
41296And why should I be one?
41296And will not you and Agapit have breakfast with me?
41296And will you lie awake to- night and vex yourself about it?
41296And yet, why should I do that?
41296And you do not refuse me entertainment?
41296And you have reason to suppose that I may prove a viper?
41296And you liked it so much that you had another made?
41296And you read my great- grandfather''s letter?
41296And you sang in this?
41296And you speak French here,--the boys, have they learned it?
41296And you spent it, dearest child?
41296And you think it wise to give men that poison to drink?
41296And you would not need to come back?
41296And you, my mother,--why do you hang your head? 41296 Are my trunks all out?"
41296Are there any French people there?
41296Are you able to marry?
41296Are you glad?
41296Are you going to the inn?
41296Are you going with us?
41296Are you in love?
41296Are you not going to the picnic?
41296Are you not well to- day, Agapit?
41296Are you really worried because you played this trick on your aunt?
41296Are you too fatigued to walk? 41296 Are you willing for me to go?"
41296Are you, Mr. LeNoir, as furious an Acadien as you used to be?
41296Bidiane,--dear Bidiane,--you will not leave us?
41296Blue,--that means one''s thoughts are black?
41296But Mr. Nimmo-- will it be kind to leave him?
41296But do you think I am like Evangeline,--she was so dark, so beautiful?
41296But does he not write you everything?
41296But how did you feel towards him?
41296But must I go alone?
41296But now you are happy under English rule?
41296But what can we do?
41296But what do you fear?
41296But what is this?
41296But why are they going?
41296But why do you do it?
41296But why is she wonderful?
41296But why not? 41296 But why should I cry if you return?"
41296But why?
41296But you will not let her go away with him?
41296But you will not stay?
41296But you will?
41296But your business?
41296By flying?
41296Ca n''t they make money?
41296Ca n''t you speak, Claudine?
41296Can I do anything for you, sir?
41296Can I get to it by this staircase?
41296Can you give him any assistance?
41296Can you give it to me soon?
41296Can you give me some lunch?
41296Can you let me have a room?
41296Can you let me have something to eat at once, madame? 41296 Charlitte, are you not sorry for your sin?
41296Charlitte-- what, Rose''s husband?
41296Claudine, will you go to the door? 41296 Claudine,"she said, turning her brown eyes on her friend and admirer,"how did you feel when Isidore asked you to marry him?"
41296Come, Fiddéding,she said, gently,"tell me what has happened to these poor hens?"
41296Could I live always depending on him? 41296 Cousin grandmother, will you not tell this gentleman of the commencement of the Bay?"
41296Did I not, sir?
41296Did he make love to you?
41296Did he not understand you?
41296Did not I see Rose driving in to call on you this morning? 41296 Did she not throw her arms around his neck and cling to him?"
41296Did she promise her husband not to marry again?
41296Did you ever hear anything of the wife and child of Etex LeNoir?
41296Did you sit late reading my books?
41296Did you tell them of the fireworks, and the concert, and the French play; also that there would be a moon to return by?
41296Did your ancestors come from the south of France?
41296Did your mother do that?
41296Do I know her?
41296Do all the Acadiens hate the English as much as you do?
41296Do many millionaires come to thy quiet inn?
41296Do n''t you think it is nonsense for me to be drinking this every morning?
41296Do n''t you think that my good cousin here ought to go to Parliament?
41296Do you call him young? 41296 Do you care to go?"
41296Do you come from Bostons?
41296Do you ever write stories-- love stories?
41296Do you find his name among the old documents?
41296Do you have only square dances?
41296Do you know these little berries?
41296Do you know what is the matter with the hens?
41296Do you know what it means?
41296Do you like cocoanuts?
41296Do you mean Ruskin?
41296Do you not find us so?
41296Do you not speak French?
41296Do you remember it?
41296Do you wish to speak to him?
41296Does any other person know?
41296Does he get on well with his law practice?
41296Does he have one of me?
41296Does he know anything about machines?
41296Does he like trees?
41296Does he not send her things?
41296Does he speak French?
41296Does he wear all the time a collar with white wings and a split coat?
41296Does it seem like hatred?
41296Does not good come when one works from honest motives, though bad only is at first apparent? 41296 Does the Poirier boy go much to the inn?"
41296Does your mother give you one every day?
41296Dost thou mock me?
41296Dost thou think he will again become ill?
41296Explain a little further, will you?
41296Fair is the earth and fair is the sky; God of the tempest, God of the calm, What must be heaven when here is such balm?
41296For Agapit?
41296For what do you wish to see him?
41296For what?
41296Go on, Biddy, tell us about the fine ladies, and the elegant frocks, and the dimens; everythin''shines, ai n''t that so? 41296 Good day, sir; you''ll stop to supper?
41296Has he a head for business?
41296Has your son, the Englishman, yet arrived?
41296Hast committed a crime, and think''st thou to escape? 41296 Have I the pleasure of addressing an Acadien?"
41296Have all Acadien women gentle manners?
41296Have n''t we come to Great Scott yet?
41296Have you ever been in this French village?
41296Have you ever gone to sea?
41296Have you ever loved any man?
41296Have you? 41296 He did n''t say he is bad?"
41296He snarl at me,''Do you mean potatoes?'' 41296 Hear what she always says when young men, and often old men, drive up and say,''Rose à Charlitte, will you marry me?''
41296Henry,said the young man,"where did you get this wood?"
41296Here comes Father La Croix,said Rose, softly;"will you not ask him to help you?"
41296Hot, Vesper?
41296How are you getting on with your business, Agapit?
41296How bad a thing would I have to do for you not to forgive me?
41296How can I tell?
41296How can she be so gay, in so public a place?
41296How did I feel--_miséricorde_, how can I tell? 41296 How did he break it?"
41296How did it happen?
41296How did it happen?
41296How did you get it off from the wharf?
41296How did you know?
41296How do you know that I am from Boston?
41296How dost thou know he has a_ fiancée_?
41296How is Madame de Forêt?
41296How long will you be gone?
41296How many do you guess that ramrod run through?
41296How many times should one mend a shirt?
41296How many you be?
41296How many?
41296How much did they make yesterday?
41296How much money have you?
41296How much rum will he find there?
41296How old are you?
41296How old is he?
41296How reads the riddle of our life, That mortals seek immortal joy, That pleasures here so quickly cloy, And hearts are e''en with yearnings rife? 41296 How will you get the money?"
41296How would one go about it?
41296How would you like to go to sea in that royal craft, Henry?
41296How would you like to talk French?
41296How,--you know her?
41296I assure you, the question has been asked before, with not so much delicacy-- But with whom should I fall in love?
41296I blush for it,--I am ashamed, but can you blame me? 41296 I do n''t love him, yet what makes me so cross when he looks at another woman, even my beloved Rose?"
41296I dunno, sir; ai n''t it heaven?
41296I guess yeh apologized, did n''t yeh?
41296I know that you wish to make laws, but will our men send you when they know what you say?
41296I say,''How goes the Latin, little one, and the Greek? 41296 I should like to go to the picnic, but could you not drive me?"
41296I suppose you do not wish to take me back to Sleeping Water?
41296I wept over it at my first reading,--I gnashed my teeth; but come,--will you not go to the picnic with us? 41296 I wonder how long she is going to stay here?"
41296I wonder what Mr. Nimmo would say if he knew how I have been acting?
41296I, too, as well as the Poirier boy, and half a dozen others; and why not?
41296If you are requested or elected to- night,--or whatever they call it,--will you go up to Halifax to''make the laws,''as my aunt says?
41296If you were married, would you like your husband to be a drunkard?
41296In speaking of those old days,said Vesper,"can you call to mind ever hearing of a LeNoir of Grand Pré called the Fiery Frenchman?"
41296In the event of some of the LeNoirs being found?
41296Indeed,--can that be so?
41296Is Madame Corbineau within?
41296Is he better?
41296Is he goin''to marry yer,--say now, Biddy, ai n''t that so?
41296Is he never going to rise?
41296Is he poor?
41296Is it Claudine?
41296Is it a habit of yours to give your hotel guests drives?
41296Is it for that only you wish to see him?
41296Is it something she can ever get over?
41296Is it something that can be got over?
41296Is it?
41296Is she not charming?
41296Is she not doing me a great honor?
41296Is she?
41296Is there any use in asking Rose to go with us this evening?
41296Is there much drinking among the Acadiens on this Bay?
41296Is your bed as soft as mine, madame?
41296Is your trade an easy one?
41296Is_ naïveté_ justifiable under those circumstances,_ mignonne_?
41296Isidore,she said, sorrowfully, and as unaffectedly as if they had been alone,"hast thou been fighting again?"
41296It has, therefore, not arisen since I came?
41296It is a question of religion?
41296It is kept by a woman?
41296It seems to me that we are; does Rose''s priest know?
41296Know him? 41296 Let us return, then, to our old, old subject,--will you not reconsider your cruel decision not to marry me, and go with me to Halifax this autumn?"
41296Listen to the wood in that fire,--what does it say to you?
41296Look at his white hands,said Agapit,"he is lazy,--and dost thou think I would leave thee with that young sprig?
41296Look at me,--do I seem like one in play? 41296 Lunch,--what''s that?"
41296Madame,said a sudden voice,"this is now Boston,--where is the Englishman?"
41296Madame,said the faint yet determined little voice,"is the Englishman in his house?"
41296Madame?
41296May I ask whether you think it a good plan to leave a place immediately upon matters going wrong with one living in it?
41296Mercy, how do I know-- has he said anything of me?
41296Monsieur, how am I to get to the shore? 41296 Monsieur,"said a little voice, in deliberate French,"will you tell me a story about a tree?"
41296Must you go soon, madame?
41296My cousin, how canst thou? 41296 My mother, does it hurt them to be trampled on?"
41296My oath-- my oath-- and did I not also swear to love him? 41296 Narcisse,"she said, in French,"wilt thou go and show the judge''s room?"
41296No, no, he thinks him very good, and says he will be elected; but we know him to be a liar, and should a liar make laws for his country?
41296No,he said, absently,"what are they?"
41296Nothing?
41296Now, what is it?
41296Of Etex LeNoir,cried the old woman, in trumpet tones,"of the martyr who shamed an Englishman, and was murdered by him?"
41296Of course she''s glad,said Claudine, giving Mrs. Corbineau a push with her elbow,"but let her alone, ca n''t you?
41296Of them,--of whom?
41296Oh, how do you do?
41296Oh, how is he? 41296 Oh, yes, yes,--how can you tell?
41296One word only, why does Rose look so strangely?
41296Patience,muttered Agapit,"what does he wish?"
41296Perhaps you will characterize this viperish conduct?
41296Really,--and there are no LeNoirs about here, nor Corbineaus?
41296Really,--then you never see a drunken man?
41296Rocky?
41296Rose, couldst thou expect me to tell thee?
41296Rose,asked Vesper, suddenly,"what is the matter with Agapit?"
41296Rose,he exclaimed,"what are you doing?"
41296Rose,he said, keenly,"do you think I will give you up?"
41296Rose,he said, seriously,"do you know how to flirt?"
41296Rose,he said, stretching out his hands to her,"will you do as I wish?"
41296Rose,he said, swiftly, and with a deep, indrawn breath,"have I not been a brother to thee?"
41296Rose,said Agapit, severely, as they drove away,"is it a good thing to make light of that curse of curses?"
41296Rose,said Vesper, caressingly,"shall I go to see Charlitte?"
41296Sait- on où l''on va?
41296Shall I kiss you as your son the Englishman kissed my mother?
41296Shall I take off your boots?
41296Shall we be unfaithful to our race?
41296She is twenty- four,--a year older; and you,--may I ask your age?
41296Sick, sir?
41296So you think, mademoiselle, that I dislike you?
41296Suppose I had just murdered some one, and had not a friend in the world, would you stand by me?
41296Suppose Mr. Greening could hear you?
41296Suppose, before we go to the White Mountains, I take a trial trip by myself, just to see if I can get on without coddling?
41296Surely, I am to see him to- night?
41296That is the Acadien historian you have spoken of?
41296That is the young man I met just now?
41296That is, better manners?
41296The divil,said her surprised relative,"do you want to scare the life out of me?"
41296The dogue,--Biddy, you ai n''t crazy?
41296The picture?
41296Then Thomas got burnt for despising the commands of his father; but my poor sire,--where does his guilt come in? 41296 Then may I have the honor of showing you the way?"
41296Then they are evil folks,she said, tremulously;"are we not all sinners?
41296Then what was wrong with you?
41296Then why do n''t you come to see me?
41296Then you will take Mr. Greening''s place?
41296They did n''t say anything about a woman being with him?
41296This is your first trip down here?
41296This is your house, I think?
41296Through the window?
41296Through you,--at confession?
41296Very good,--now should we not try to drive this man out of Clare?
41296Vesper,said Mrs. Nimmo,"do you find anything interesting among those letters of your father?"
41296Vesper,said a sudden voice, from the doorway,"are you talking to yourself?"
41296Vesper,she said,--"that name is beautiful; it is in a hymn to the blessed virgin; but_ Evening News_,--surely it means not a journal?"
41296Wait a minute, Agapit,--is it her money that he is after?
41296Was he angry?
41296Was he not the old man who got out of bed, when his nurse was in the next room, and put a pistol to his head?
41296Were the crew Acadiens?
41296Were there any French sailors on her?
41296Were you ever shipwrecked, young lady?
41296What are you agreeing to? 41296 What are you going to do with it?"
41296What are you going to do with the remains?
41296What are you going to make of yourself?
41296What are you staring at so intently,_ ma chère_?
41296What changes?
41296What days does she leave? 41296 What did he say?"
41296What did you do with''em?
41296What did you say, mother?
41296What do you expect-- joyous, riotous health? 41296 What do you mean by gay?"
41296What do you mean then by that strong language?
41296What do you mean?
41296What do you mean?
41296What do you want?
41296What do you wish me to do?
41296What does Agapit say?
41296What does it mean?
41296What does madame, your mother, say?
41296What for you lie?
41296What had he said?
41296What have you said to Rose?
41296What is he called?
41296What is her name?
41296What is it that the Englishman has done to the child?
41296What is our race?
41296What is that for a word? 41296 What is the matter with thee?"
41296What is the population of Halifax?
41296What is wrong with you?
41296What is your opinion of his poem''Evangeline?''
41296What makes you so pale?
41296What other woman? 41296 What port did the schooner hail from?"
41296What proof have you?
41296What reason did the old people give for this expulsion from their homes?
41296What shall I do?
41296What was it?
41296What will you do?
41296What''ll you do, sissy?
41296What''s dat?
41296What, sir?
41296What,--and I am only seventeen? 41296 When Mirabelle Marie went into the parlor, Father Duvair said politely, so politely,''I wish to buy a little rum, madame; can you sell me some?''
41296When am I to have my bath?
41296When did you arrive, mademoiselle?
41296When did you first find out that I was n''t dead?
41296When do you have lunch?
41296When is lying justifiable?
41296Where did you get the money to buy it?
41296Where did you get the rum?
41296Where did you see Jean Drague?
41296Where do they live?
41296Where do you wish to go?
41296Where is Charlitte?
41296Where is he now?
41296Where is the boy?
41296Which is his room?
41296Which way does it go?
41296Who can speak The mingled passions that surprised his heart?
41296Who can tell?
41296Who drives a black buggy,--no, a white horse with a long tail?
41296Who is she?
41296Who is that bad man? 41296 Who is this man?"
41296Who was she,--this lady viper?
41296Whose boat was it?
41296Whose sheets?
41296Why did he leave Rose?
41296Why did n''t they build the railway where the village is?
41296Why did they not write from here to you?
41296Why did they not write to_ The Evening News_?
41296Why did you give up the farm?
41296Why did you not come in?
41296Why do n''t you get married yourself?
41296Why do you ask?
41296Why do you call this the judge''s room?
41296Why do you not introduce me?
41296Why do you struggle with him?
41296Why do you think your cousin is lacking in passion and fortitude?
41296Why does my mother cry every night?
41296Why is it that she avoids all junketing, and sits only with sick people?
41296Why is the descendant of the Fiery Frenchman a devil?
41296Why need you care?
41296Why not, mademoiselle?
41296Why should I call there?
41296Why should he not wish you to marry?
41296Why should she not?
41296Why, thou hast ways,--sly ways, like most women, and thou art meek and gentle, else why do men run after thee, thou little bleating lamb?
41296Will he come back to the Bay?
41296Will her husband approve of this expedition?
41296Will you come to the smoking- room?
41296Will you do as I wish you to?
41296Will you give me your hand, Rose?
41296Will you have me?
41296Will you let Henry find out about steamers and trains?
41296Will you look at me, Rose?
41296Will you marry me in six weeks?
41296Will you not come into the house and have something to eat or drink after your long drive?
41296Will you not have a cup of tea, and also tell us how you became an Acadien?
41296Will you not run away?
41296Will you promise not to make a scene when I leave to- morrow?
41296Will you put the things on this table?
41296Will you sit down?
41296Will you take me to them?
41296Wilt thou run away, little one? 41296 Wo n''t you sit down?"
41296Women are weak, men are imperious; she may, perhaps, do anything you say, but is it not well to think over exactly what one would tell her? 41296 Would Rose consent to a divorce?"
41296Would this not be a fitting time to talk of the wonderful letter of which madame, your mother, hinted?
41296Would you be willing to send that little girl down the Bay to a French convent?
41296Would you marry him if he asked you?
41296Would you not go?
41296Would you-- would you care to keep him until he is sent for?
41296Yes, Rose; but has anything gone wrong? 41296 Yes, in de hole,--but tink you dey went?
41296Yes, now,--but the past? 41296 Yes; who will get the fifty dollars?"
41296You advised her rather than Mirabelle Marie, but wherefore?
41296You also will caricature us,pursued Agapit;"others have done so, why should not you?"
41296You are feeling slightly blue this evening, are you not?
41296You are in trouble,said Agapit, tenderly;"what is it?"
41296You are more stunning than ever, Rose,he said, coolly kissing her;"and who is this young lady?"
41296You are not angry with me for my free speech?
41296You are not praying, are you?
41296You believe me, do you not?
41296You do,muttered Vesper,"and you try to keep me from her?"
41296You have been in love, of course?
41296You have told him that he must not return?
41296You have, of course, told them that they shall suffer no loss by all this?
41296You know better than that?
41296You love her, Agapit?
41296You never heard that our family had any connection with the expulsion?
41296You remember what our doctor says when he looks over my little one,--that he is weak, and the air of the Bay is too strong for him?
41296You surely would not influence one who loves you to do anything wrong?
41296You think so? 41296 You will be glad to see your friends there,--and your family?"
41296You will come again, soon?
41296You will give this to Claudine?
41296You wish him to remain in Boston?
41296You would, eh?
41296You''ll stop all night?
41296_ I_ hate the English?
41296_ Miséricorde!_he exclaimed, when he almost ran into Vesper,"who is it?
41296_ Mon Dieu_, yes,--what makes you think otherwise?
41296''What did you do when you wanted grub?''
41296A knock at the half- open door distracted her attention, and, languidly turning her head, she said,"What is it, Henry?"
41296Agapit, what is acclamation?
41296Agapit-- that was it; but why was he here in his room?
41296Ah, yes, Narcisse,--and what had they called the sulky Acadien who had hung about the house, and who now sat reading in a rocking- chair by the table?
41296And do we not put away from us-- that is, society people do-- all those who are rough and have not good manners?
41296And how goes everything in Sleeping Water?
41296And what do you think I found?
41296And will you not talk to Father Duvair?
41296And yet it would be wrong for her to take you from one who can make you more happy; is it not so?"
41296At last he said,"How did you know that I was here?"
41296At last she said,"Can you see Madame de Forêt''s house from here?"
41296At last she sighed heavily, and said, in a plaintive voice,"Vesper, are you not getting tired of Sleeping Water?"
41296Biddy Ann would not go to the convent,--would she, Biddy?"
41296Biddy, be you goin''to stay along of us?"
41296Biddy, what makes yeh come back?
41296Biddy,"--and she lowered her voice,--"you know''bout Isidore?"
41296Bidiane would not answer him, and he continued,"Is Father Duvair at present engaged in the work of destruction in the cellar?"
41296But can you not trust me?
41296But the tin, Claudine, where''ll you git that?"
41296But what will you?
41296But would she not come to visit them in their own homes?
41296Canst thou dig up the fern roots and peel them until thou findest the tender morsel at the bottom?"
41296Come now, had n''t you?"
41296Come, where is thy dignity, thy pride?
41296Could Rose endure the double blow of a separation from her child and from her lover?
41296Could it be that she was ashamed of this board?
41296Dear Madame de Forêt, may I speak freely to you?"
41296Did Mr. Nimmo do this?
41296Did he always intend to remain one?
41296Did he know Mrs. de la Rive, laundress, of Cambridge Street?
41296Did monsieur come from Halifax, or Boston?
41296Did our forefathers come here poor?
41296Did she understand him?
41296Did the Englishman shove a dollar bill in yer hand every day?"
41296Did you ever know of his doing so?"
41296Did you ever see him?"
41296Did you hear that the family with typhoid fever can at last leave her house?"
41296Did you think they were?"
41296Do n''t you think so?"
41296Do not I know that for a time one''s blood burns, and one is mad?"
41296Do the Eenglish like us?
41296Do you fancy that I will be put off by any of your trumpery fancies?"
41296Do you go far, sir?"
41296Do you know anything about Nova Scotia?"
41296Do you know him?"
41296Do you know that if they are cut down, water courses dry up?
41296Do you know that these Acadiens hated you at first?"
41296Do you know what it is?"
41296Do you not know the screen in our room, and the little tub, and the dish with the soap that smells so nice?
41296Do you not think that Mr. Greening has had his lesson?"
41296Do you remember ever hearing him say anything about the death of my great- grandfather?"
41296Do you understand now about the march from Annapolis?"
41296Do you understand?"
41296Does any one here but you know?"
41296Does he already love thee?
41296Does he come from down East?"
41296Does monsieur intend to stay long in Sleeping Water?
41296Does my mother wish to go?"
41296Does not our Lord command us to forgive those who repent?"
41296Does the Englishman''s maw like the little one?"
41296Englishman?"
41296Englishman?"
41296Father Duvair said,''I would like to buy all you have; how much is it worth?''
41296From whom did you have it, if I am permitted to ask?"
41296Get me that book, will you?"
41296Had he heard, she wondered, that six other Acadien girls, inspired by her example, were to have wheels?
41296Had he samples of candy or tobacco in that big box of his?
41296Had she better not let him know about it?
41296Had she succeeded in driving his image from her pure mind and imagination?
41296Had the landlady''s little boy been sharing his quarters?
41296Has his face grown more pale?"
41296Have I not been in love?
41296Have I not too been a lover?
41296He is quite a gentleman; why does he write for those wicked journals?"
41296He put his head down on his arms, then he lifted it, and said,''But does your son not write?''
41296He really was wiser than any one she knew; could she not bring about a better understanding with him?
41296He smiled to himself, murmured"I wonder where the dining- room is?
41296He travels, too, and takes Narcisse with him; and now, tell me, do you like being down the Bay?"
41296He was a bachelor now, was he not?
41296He would not surrender her to heaven just yet,--but still, would it not be heaven on earth to be united to her?
41296He would see that her cotton gown was soiled; why had she not worn a clean one to- day, and also put on her shoes?
41296Henry, where is the Hub of the Universe?"
41296Here he would rest: his search was ended; and meekly surveying Mrs. Nimmo, he murmured,"Could Narcisse have a glass of milk?"
41296His boots were quite wet, and did you notice the splashes on his nice black cassock?"
41296How can I cease from joy?"
41296How can one be French?
41296How could I be with you, whom I love so much?"
41296How could I give you up?
41296How far are you going?"
41296How is the young Englishman who left many friends on the Bay?"
41296How much did he charge a pound for his best peppermints?"
41296How much did that cost?"
41296How much longer would he stay in Sleeping Water?
41296How much time have they to be polite?
41296I am the most ridiculous mortal that ever lived, and I know how foolish I am; but why do you not exercise your charity?
41296I entreated,''is it all true?
41296I feel, and often speak before I feel, but what can one do?
41296I hate dull people-- oh, I must ask you if you know that I am quite Acadien now?"
41296I have said again and again,''What is she like?''
41296I have talked to this young man,--do not I also esteem him?
41296I shall just tell you, and if you do n''t want to overlook it you need not-- why, what is the matter with you?"
41296I speak of the schools, and yet it is not altogether for that, for have we not a good college for boys here on the Bay?
41296I suppose you never do that?"
41296I will not tell you all, for why should you be sad?
41296If I am nominated, and run an election, what then,--where is my reward?"
41296If there had been a curse laid on your ancestors in the forest, would you devote your last five minutes to lifting it?"
41296In the first place, do you know what politics are?"
41296Is he changed, Agapit?
41296Is it not so, Rose?"
41296Is it not so?"
41296Is it not so?"
41296Is it not so?"
41296Is it their children that I have despised,--their religion that I have mocked?''
41296Is it this that has made you unhappy lately?"
41296Is n''t_ La Sauterelle_ going to Boston, to- morrow?"
41296Is there one thought agitating your bosom that you do not express?"
41296It is hot like a hay field-- what, thou wilt not?
41296It is such fun--''Claude,''said my aunt to her husband, when we first decided to make_ bombance_,''what politics do you belong to?''
41296It was very difficult to prevent them from departing after having left the bargain to their choice--''""What does he mean by that?"
41296It will be fun; will you go?"
41296Longfellow?"
41296Many years ago, the devoted priest of this parish resolved that his flock must have a new church, and yet how were they to obtain one without money?
41296May I have the pleasure of introducing you to them?"
41296May I read them?"
41296May n''t I give you some wine?
41296May we not call ourselves cousins?"
41296Mother,"he went on, presently,"have you ever heard of the expulsion of the Acadiens?"
41296My aunt,--where are you?"
41296My darling, how do you feel?
41296Nimmo?"
41296No cream-- may I ask why you call that room you put me in the judge''s room?"
41296No, I wish to work hard, to earn some money,--and you, are you not going to pay him for this fine house?"
41296Now tell me, what is this?"
41296Now will you not tell me something of your life in Paris?
41296Now, Acadien treelets, gasping your last to throw a gleam of brightness into my lazy life, tell me, is anything worth while?
41296Of what are true Englishmen made, Mr. Englishman from Boston?"
41296Of what was she thinking?
41296Oh, ai n''t you glad, Biddy?"
41296Oh, my husband, this is love, and is it right that, feeling so, I should go with you?"
41296On a day w''en dey come to Tintamarre-- you know de great ma''sh of Tintamarre?"
41296PAGE"ROSE À CHARLITTE STOOD CONFRONTING THE NEWCOMER"_ Frontispiece_"THEY WERE FRIENDS"60"''AGAPIT,''SHE MURMURED,''CAN WE NOT TELL HIM?''"
41296Perhaps monsieur passed the court- house and saw a lady looking through the bars?"
41296Quoi?
41296Rose for a few minutes seemed lost in thought, then she said,"Does Mrs. Nimmo think that I do not care for her son?"
41296Rose got up and said, in a fluttering voice,"May I present you, Father La Croix, to Mrs. Nimmo, and also her son?"
41296Rose''s face cleared, and Vesper said to the priest,"Are there any old people here to- day who would be inclined to talk about the early settlers?"
41296Rose, did you love your husband as I did_ la belle Marguerite_?"
41296Rose, why art thou so dull to- day?"
41296Shall I tell you what I think of you?"
41296Shall we not be better friends in future?"
41296Shall we part now,--shall I go away to- morrow, and never see you again?"
41296Shall we smoke them?"
41296She is-- but have you not heard?
41296She must have been married in her cradle, and with that thought in mind he said,"Do Acadien women marry at an early age?"
41296She shall not come here again, and my aunt shall not accompany her-- but where do they wish to go?"
41296Should he apologize?
41296Should she believe this man or not?
41296Sir, shall I have the honor of taking you over in my road- cart?"
41296Some day,--in a few years, perhaps,--he, too, would be a handful of dust, and he, too, would leave a record behind him; what would his record be?
41296Suppose thou couldst hear her voice in the hall, what wouldst thou do?"
41296Tell me now how long this obstacle has existed?"
41296Tell me now when that fool, Agapit, first began to set you against me?"
41296That other woman,--she is still living?"
41296The English race were well enough, but why not have a man of your own race?
41296The Indians had none, the French had none,--where would the poor exiles get it?"
41296Then he told you that you had better give him the mitten?"
41296Then she asked, abruptly,"Have you ever seen her before?"
41296Then she sighed, miserably,"Have you asked her to marry you?"
41296Then they said,''Oh, why did he put the name of a paper after his name?''
41296Then, after scatteration, we became poor; but can we not keep our good manners?"
41296There is an indefinable something about him that does n''t belong to a common sailor; do n''t you think so, Agapit?"
41296There was a long pause, broken at last by Agapit, who said,"Will you get the breakfast, Rose?
41296There''s enough to start him, ai n''t there?"
41296Therefore she said, confusedly,"Those cannibals, where did they live?"
41296This is my home, and is not one''s home the best place to earn one''s living?"
41296Thou art not vexed with me for correcting thee?"
41296Thou wert so noteworthy these three weeks ago, what has come to thee now?"
41296Tink you Charlitte let him go?
41296Vesper took the card, thanked him, and said,"Shall I find any of the descendants of the settlers of Grand Pré among the Acadiens on this Bay?"
41296W''y do they teach Eenglish to the French?
41296Was he going to hear a confession of guilt that would make his own seem lighter?
41296Was his mother anywhere near?
41296Was it arranged through the wall, or did he walk under her window and think of her until his influence drew her from her bed?
41296Was it monsieur that Rose à Charlitte expected when she drove through the pouring rain to the station, two days since?
41296Was it true,--did he wish to commend her to a less pleasant place than Bleury for teasing him with these entrancing stories?
41296Was''e frightful?
41296We can live for God, you, and I, and Rose, but for a time is it not best that we do not see each other?"
41296We took sheets--""Sheets?"
41296Were they all his own, and not artificial?
41296Were they back in the pasture, or down by the river, or playing in the barn, or out in the boat?
41296Were they martyrs,--these countrymen of mine?
41296Were they patient and afflicted?
41296What are they about?"
41296What can make up for the weeping of the old people?"
41296What d''ye say, Biddy?"
41296What did he say in the letter that he sent yesterday in explanation of his change of plans?
41296What did it mean, and where was Mr. Nimmo''s share in this reunion?
41296What did the presence of this child under her roof mean?
41296What do we know of him?"
41296What do you think?"
41296What do you want of an Englishman?''
41296What do you want to live back in the woods for?
41296What does he wish?"
41296What had come over him now?
41296What had happened to call that expression of divine tenderness and sympathy to her face?
41296What had she done-- this simple Acadien woman-- to fill his heart with such profound happiness?
41296What had they been thinking of, the last five years?
41296What harm could there be in a conversation of five minutes''duration?
41296What has come over thee?"
41296What is there here that concerns you?"
41296What is this?
41296What mattered their sufferings to me?
41296What shall we do with the wheel?"
41296What was he doing here?
41296What was his name?
41296What was it that had given her this deadly shock?
41296What was the matter with these grown people that they stared so stupidly at each other?
41296What will Father Duvair say to me?
41296What would the people in Paris say if they could hear you?
41296When does the Englishman arrive?"
41296Where are our mudders an''fadders, our brudders an''sisters?
41296Where do you live?"
41296Where is his mother?"
41296Where was he,--in what country had he been having this long, dreamless sleep?
41296Where was her pallor,--her weariness?
41296Where were they?
41296Where were those boys?
41296Where would then be my satisfaction?
41296Who can he be?"
41296Who is the lady?"
41296Who takes account of naughty grandfathers in this prosaic age?
41296Who would comfort our darling Rose?"
41296Who would dream that he, so dignified, would condescend to this?
41296Why are you so flippant?"
41296Why ca n''t they have one language, as we do?"
41296Why did n''t he get a dark one?"
41296Why do his people say_ becker_ for_ baiser_"( kiss)"and_ gueule_ for_ bouche_"( mouth)"and_ échine_ for_ dos_"( back)?
41296Why do n''t you come out to the shore?"
41296Why do you ask?"
41296Why should he be browbeaten into communicating his private affairs to a stranger?
41296Why should he not pause there for a few minutes and make some arrangement with Rose about Narcisse, who was still in Boston?
41296Why should it be denied us?"
41296Why should we not vote,--you, and I, and Claudine?"
41296Why should you be severe with me?"
41296Will you get into the buggy, mademoiselle?
41296Will you have a biscuit?"
41296Will you not correct me?
41296Will you?"
41296Would I do a wrong thing?"
41296Would I do anything to injure thee?
41296Would I go to France with him and his mother, for it had been decided that a voyage would be good for the little Narcisse?
41296Would he really want her to go away with him?
41296Would his parishioners give time and labor, if he supplied the material for construction?
41296Would it not be foolish for him to pass by the mother''s door without speaking to her of him?
41296Would not his wife come back to the Bay?
41296Would she do it?
41296Would she give up her saintly life for marriage with the Englishman?
41296You are unfortunately too nobly human,--why were you not divine?
41296You do n''t treat me as well even as you do a business person,--a client is it you call one?"
41296You do not find that we are worse than others?"
41296You go up to the barn now, do you not?"
41296You have read the descriptions of it?"
41296You hope that they will be happy, and should I, a human being, be less disinterested than you?"
41296You know them, Claudine?"
41296You know who they were?"
41296You remember, my aunt?"
41296You will have patience?"
41296You will stay to dinner?"
41296You''re not going to swoon, are you?
41296You-- you?"
41296Yours was a case at the supreme court, was it not, if that is the way to word it?"

41296chesque j''vois?_"( what do I see), screamed Suretta, who was the first to catch sight of them.
41296ejaculated Madame Thériault,"and what is that trade?"
41296he exclaimed, when he saw Vesper sauntering to and fro;"do you not think you could essay a walk to the wharf?"
41296is that the train?"
41296said Bidiane, with an impatient gesture,"how much money do you suppose that man had?
41296said Pierre,''did you spare de lives of dose unhappy ones of Port Royal whom you sen''to exile?
41296said the old man, turning to the dark- eyed woman, who had left her cradle and spinning- wheel,"is it not always so?
41296you look for vengeance, but does vengeance always come?
41296you''d rather set under the trees?
