43044 | How could any goodness become less precious to me unless my life had ceased to be a growth, and had become mere shrinking and degeneracy? |
43044 | I am a very blessed woman, am I not, to have all this reason for being glad that I have lived? |
43044 | I am wondering whether you could spare me,_ for a few weeks_, the Tempest music, and any other vocal music of that or of a kindred species? |
43044 | I do wish much to see more of human life: how can one see enough in the short years one has to stay in the world? |
43044 | I know you have good reasons for what you do, yet I can not help saying, Why do you stay at Florence, the city of draughts rather than of flowers? |
43044 | I wonder if she would rather rest from her blessed labors, or live to go on working? |

43044 | Mr. Lewes tells me the country air has always a magical effect on me, even in the first hour; but it is not the air alone, is it? |

43044 | Or has its appearance been deferred? |
43044 | Ought we not to be a great deal wiser and more efficient personages, or else to be ashamed of ourselves? |
43044 | Perhaps, in the cooler part of the autumn, when your book is out of your hands, you will like to move from home a little and see your London friends? |
43044 | Shall I ever be able to carry out my ideas? |
43044 | Shall I ever be good for anything again? |

43044 | What are you working at, I wonder? |
43044 | When do you bring out your new poem? |
43044 | Whereabouts are you in algebra? |
43044 | Why not? |
43044 | Why should we complain that our friends see a false image? |
43044 | Will it be all in vain? |
43044 | Will it ever be finished? |
43044 | Will you give me leave?" |
43044 | Will you give my thanks to Mr. Congreve for the"Synthèse"which I have brought with me and am reading? |

42078 | And yet, what is there to be told? |
42078 | Are not some of your large stock of white morning gowns just in a happy state for a flounce-- too short? |

43045 | Are you not happy in the long- wished- for sunshine? |
43045 | Are you not making a transient confusion of intuitions with innate ideas? |
43045 | As I shall not see these paged sheets again, will you charitably assure me that the alterations are safely made? |
43045 | At last came,"And who made you?" |
43045 | But can anything be more uncertain than the reception of a book by the public? |
43045 | But may I not beg to have a copy of my own? |
43045 | But under the heart- stroke, is there anything better than to grieve? |

43045 | Who could take your place within me or make me amends for the loss of you? |
43045 | Why did you write me such a brief letter, telling me nothing about your own life? |

25852 | Do you care for French news? |
25852 | Do you comprehend these stage managerial sagacities? |

25852 | Do you know a being endowed by nature with the requisite qualities? |
25852 | Do you know this place? |
25852 | Do you recollect Yarnold in"Masaniello"? |
25852 | Do you remember one Greenhow, whom you invited to pass some days with you at the hotel on the Kaatskill Mountains? |
25852 | Do you think I could let you hazard your life by going up any pass worth seeing in bleak March? |
25852 | Do you think you could manage to go and return with us? |
25852 | Do you understand? |
25852 | Does Haldimand play whist with any science yet? |
25852 | Does he know that an army of artificers must be turned in at once, and the whole thing finished out of hand? |
25852 | Does it beam with friendship and affection?" |
25852 | Droll, I fancy? |
25852 | Else why do I read_ The Examiner_? |
25852 | Exclamations:"How''s Henri?" |
25852 | Finally, that---- took everybody to their carriages, and that---- wept a good deal during the festivities? |
25852 | For am I not going to Broadstairs now, to walk about on the sea- shore( why do n''t you bring your rosy children there?) |
25852 | Gentlemen, are you all charged? |
25852 | Have they cut the door between the drawing- room and the study yet? |
25852 | Have you cut down any more trees, played any more rubbers, propounded any more teasers to the players at the game of Yes and No? |
25852 | Have you not, in the hurry of correspondence, slipped a paragraph into my letter which belongs of right to somebody else? |
25852 | Have you tried the punch yet; if yes, did it succeed; if no, why not? |
25852 | How am I ever to tell the cobbler? |
25852 | How is Crab( to whom my respectful compliments)? |
25852 | How is it that---- always do get better, and strong hearts are so easy to die? |
25852 | How is the gray mare? |
25852 | How is the old horse? |
25852 | How many were there? |
25852 | I am bidden to a wedding( where fathers are made), and my artist can not, I find( how should he? |
25852 | I do n''t know whether you are acquainted with the coastguard and men in these parts? |
25852 | I forgive you your reviling of me: there''s a shovelful of live coals for your head-- does it burn? |
25852 | I hope to finish and get to town by next Wednesday night, the 19th; what do you say to coming back with me on the following Tuesday? |
25852 | I suppose I shall see you at the water- party on Thursday? |
25852 | I suppose it''s no worse than any other place in this weather, but it is watery rather-- isn''t it? |
25852 | I suppose you have heard that I am going to act at the Montreal theatre with the officers? |
25852 | I suppose you wo n''t object to be taken to hear them? |
25852 | I trust you found it satisfactory? |
25852 | I was so beastly dirty when I got to this house, that I had quite lost all sense of my identity, and if anybody had said,"Are you Charles Dickens?" |
25852 | If I am right, will you look at the proof through the first third or half of the papers, and see whether the Factor comes before us in that way? |
25852 | If so, at what hour? |
25852 | If you are in Paris, shall I ascertain what authority I shall need from you to receive the half- year, which I suppose will be shortly due? |
25852 | If you ca n''t, will you bring them to Tavistock House at dinner time to- morrow, half- past five? |
25852 | If you can, can you manage so that we can take the proofs with us? |
25852 | If you ever revise the sheets for readers, will you note in the margin the broken laughter and the appeals to the Deity? |
25852 | If you knew the pain it gave me-- but what am I talking of? |
25852 | Is Mrs. Cerjat as happy and as well as I would have her, and all your house ditto ditto? |
25852 | Is he the devil? |
25852 | Is it a loving autograph? |
25852 | Is it heresy to say that I have seen its twin- brother shining through the window of Jack Straw''s-- that down in Devonshire I have seen a better sky? |
25852 | Is it not extraordinary that the same dreams which have constantly visited me since poor Mary died follow me everywhere? |
25852 | Is it not so? |
25852 | Is it not so? |
25852 | Is it with Man, as with some meaner things, That out of death his single purpose springs? |
25852 | Is there any hope of your repeating your visit to these coasts? |
25852 | It is a dreadful thing to be obliged to be false, but when anyone says,"Have you seen----?" |
25852 | Lemon, with our loves, on her gallant victory over the recreant cabman? |
25852 | Marquis sends message-- such a regiment, such a company--"Is my only son safe?" |
25852 | Marquis sends message-- such a regiment, such a company--"Is my son wounded?" |
25852 | Mr. Macready, sir, are you a father? |
25852 | Must I come to Bonchurch? |
25852 | My dear Mary, would you favour me with the name and address of the professor that taught you writing, for I want to improve myself? |
25852 | Never going to drink port again, metropolitaneously, but_ always_ with Fielden? |
25852 | Next May, or next December? |
25852 | Not me? |
25852 | Now could n''t you come back with me? |
25852 | Now you do n''t like to be told that? |
25852 | Now, do n''t you think it would do you good to come here instead? |
25852 | Now, will you paint us a scene-- the scene of which I enclose Bulwer''s description from the prompter''s book? |
25852 | Obscurely shall he suffer, act, and fade, Dubb''d noble only by the sexton''s spade? |
25852 | One of them asked me only yesterday, if it would take a year to get to England in a ship? |
25852 | P.S.--I take it for granted that the original picture of Dolly with the bracelet is sold? |
25852 | PARMA, ALBERGO DELLA POSTA,_ Friday, Nov. 8th, 1844._ MY DEAREST KATE,"If missis could see us to- night, what would she say?" |
25852 | Perhaps one of these Sundays after Easter you might not be indisposed to begin to dig us out? |
25852 | Pray, sir(_ with constrained calmness_), what does she act? |
25852 | Pray, sir, did you ever find me admiring Mr.----? |
25852 | Says he,"Will you suggest that I should like it to be_ one_ of those subjects?" |
25852 | Shall I expect you to- morrow morning? |
25852 | Shall it be a bargain? |
25852 | Should you like the subject when this raven makes his first appearance? |
25852 | Suppose I were to come on the 9th or 10th of August to stay three or four days in town, would that do for you? |
25852 | Talking of forgetting, is n''t it odd? |
25852 | The allusion is severe, but is it just? |
25852 | The day they landed, do you say, or the day after? |
25852 | Then you see her, sir, sometimes? |
25852 | Then, having bowed herself into the stage- door, she looked out of it, and said, winningly,"Wo n''t you come?" |
25852 | Two or three?" |
25852 | Very ignorant, is it not?" |
25852 | We will make expeditions to Herne Bay, Canterbury, where not? |
25852 | Were you all in Switzerland? |
25852 | What are ragged schools, town missions, and many of those societies I regret to see sneered at in the last number of''Household Words''?" |
25852 | What do they mean by that? |
25852 | What do you say to Monday, the fourth, or Saturday, the second? |
25852 | What do you say to that? |
25852 | What do you think of doing"Animal Magnetism"as the last piece( we may play three in all, I think) at Rockingham? |

25852 | What do you think of_ that_ for an article? |
25852 | What have you to do with these? |
25852 | What say you? |
25852 | When I think it likely that I may meet you( perhaps at Ainsworth''s on Friday?) |
25852 | When are you coming home? |
25852 | When did you ever find me leap at wrong conclusions? |
25852 | When do you come back? |
25852 | When his mother came for him in the morning, he asked when it would be over? |
25852 | When shall we meet and where? |
25852 | When you arrange about sending your parcels, will you ascertain, and communicate to me, the prices of telegraph messages? |
25852 | Where are you? |

25852 | Where is the man who is to do the work? |
25852 | Which of two other months do you think would be preferable for your Birmingham objects? |
25852 | Which would you prefer-- that"Auld Lang Syne"should be sung after your health is given and before you return thanks, or after you have spoken? |
25852 | Why do I send it to you? |
25852 | Will it be at all a heavy item in the estimate? |
25852 | Will that alteration in the usual arrangements be agreeable to Gaffin, S.? |
25852 | Will the"Incident in the Life of Mademoiselle Clairon"go into those two pages? |
25852 | Will you accept from me, in remembrance of it,_ this_ little book? |
25852 | Will you appear in your celebrated character of Mr. Nightingale? |
25852 | Will you come and paint it for us one night, and we''ll all turn to and help? |
25852 | Will you come out of school to this breezy vacation on the same day, or rather_ this day fortnight, July 31st_? |
25852 | Will you come round and deliver your sentiments? |
25852 | Will you come with us from the Hanover Square Rooms? |
25852 | Will you conceive and execute, after your own fashion, a frontispiece for"Barnaby"? |
25852 | Will you design, upon a block of wood, Lord George Gordon, alone and very solitary, in his prison in the Tower? |
25852 | Will you ditto upon a ditto, a sword duel between Mr. Haredale and Mr. Chester, in a grove of trees? |
25852 | Will you get Marcus or some similar bright creature to copy out old Nightingale''s part for you, and then return the book? |
25852 | Will you let me have a line from you in reply? |
25852 | Will you let the Britannia[2] know of this change-- if needful? |
25852 | Will you look carefully at all the earlier part, where the use of the past tense instead of the present a little hurts the picturesque effect? |
25852 | Will you promise?" |
25852 | Will you see to the invitations for Christmas Day, and write to LÃ ¦ titia? |
25852 | Will you see to this branch of the tree among the other branches? |
25852 | Will you take care of them as hostages until we effect an exchange? |
25852 | Will you tell me what you think of this, addressed to Broadstairs? |
25852 | Will you think of this, too, and suggest a Saturday for our dining together? |
25852 | Will you think what little French piece it will be best to do, in order that I may have it ready for the bills? |
25852 | Will you write to Ryland if you have not heard from him, and ask him what the Birmingham reading- nights are really to be? |
25852 | Would n''t it be odd if we met upon the road between this and Boulogne to- morrow? |
25852 | You and I in our old parts; Collins, Jeffrey; Charley, the Markis; Katey and Mary( or Georgina), the two ladies? |
25852 | You are going to Bonchurch I suppose? |
25852 | You know the wax brigands, and how they contemplate small oval miniatures? |
25852 | You know, I suppose, that they elected me at the Athenà ¦ um? |
25852 | You will not, I hope, allow that not- lucid interval of dissatisfaction with yourself( and me? |
25852 | Your godson says is that your duty? |
25852 | _ Has_ he a servant with a wooden leg?" |
25852 | _ Is_ it a waistcoat? |
25852 | _ Is_ there a deal board in Sherborne though? |
25852 | _ You_ could do it in no time after sending in your pictures, and will you? |
25852 | a fairy? |
25852 | and did you tell him of another brass ventilator in the dining- room, opening into the dining- room flue? |
25852 | game to do a Scotch housekeeper, in a supposed country- house, with Mary, Katey, Georgina, etc.? |
25852 | of"Barnaby"and"The Curiosity Shop"heaped upon the table; and the flowers you introduced in the first subject of all withered and dead? |
25852 | shall no scene display The tragic passion of the passing day? |
25852 | will be there, perhaps, when this letter reaches you? |
6457 | ( 187) A little at a loss what to say, she gently stammered,M''ami,--le-- le premier Consul, ne vient- il pas? |
6457 | ( 208) You are sure how heartily M. d''Arblay would be ready to comply-but"what,"he demanded,"can be new to you of honours?" |
6457 | ? 6457 And about what time did You give to it?" |
6457 | And can she have forgot all this? |
6457 | And do you know this, little man? |
6457 | And how does grandDapa do? |
6457 | And how does your papa do? |
6457 | And what did you write Of it here? |
6457 | And what does his father take him to Ireland for? |
6457 | And what is the nearest town to Tr � ves, whence I might go on in a chaise? |
6457 | Are you married? |
6457 | Are you much frightened cried he, smiling,as much frightened as you were before?" |
6457 | Ay,quoth I,"has not he made you all ashamed of''em? |
6457 | But he will bring out something else? |
6457 | But here, I mean? |
6457 | But they may be a little better, or a little worse,he answered,"but still, if they are not like somebody, how can they play their parts?" |
6457 | But where,cried he,"is Hetty? |
6457 | But why,I cried, recollecting myself,"should I speak French, when your royal highness knows English so well?" |
6457 | But you do n''t imagine,answered she, laughing,"we came over from England to see you ci- devants? |
6457 | C''est sans doute ce que vous souhaitez le plus, madame? |
6457 | Come then,cried she,"come hither, my dear, and tell me all about her,--is she very good to you?--do you like her very much?" |
6457 | Comment? 6457 Do you wish to have an excellent view of him, and to see him quite at your ease?" |
6457 | Etes- vous mari � e? |
6457 | Has he nothing in hand? |
6457 | How do you do, Madame d''Arblay? |
6457 | How far did You go?--Did You finish any part? 6457 How, how?" |
6457 | Is the princess royal ready? |
6457 | It Page 187 is a very capital work, sir,says H."I wonder how you find time?" |
6457 | It is doubtless what you most wish for, madam? |
6457 | My courage? |
6457 | O � est votre mari? |
6457 | Oui, mon ami,"And-- was it quite dark? |
6457 | Pourquoi le quittez- vous? 6457 Qui est- il?" |
6457 | Qui? |
6457 | Then what are we come hither for? |
6457 | Upon your honour? |
6457 | Voulez- vous le voir parfaitement bien, et tout fait votre aise? |
6457 | What do you think of me now? |
6457 | What, William? |
6457 | What-- what-- progress have you made? |
6457 | Where is your husband? |
6457 | Who is he? |
6457 | Whom? |
6457 | Why are you leaving him? |
6457 | You know-- you recollect Madame d''Arblay, do n''t you, William? |
6457 | is he here? |
6457 | ''-''''Is he agreeable to you, M. de Maubourg?'' |
6457 | ( 182)"Have you seen the first Consul, madam?" |
6457 | ( 187)"What is the matter?" |
6457 | ( 188)"M''ami, the-- the first Consul, is he not coming?" |
6457 | ( 191) Could any inference be clearer? |
6457 | ( 218)"Who are you? |
6457 | ( 219)"You are English?" |
6457 | ( 221)"You do not think proper to follow me, then?" |
6457 | ( 229) Where did--- hear her a whole evening? |
6457 | ( 23) and is that all?--Does she forget that she has spoke to me? |
6457 | ( 24)"Perhaps I am indiscreet?" |
6457 | ( 25)"But, mademoiselle-- after all-- the king-- is he quite cured?" |
6457 | ( 251)"May I keep the book you sent me?" |
6457 | ( 312)"You give it up, do n''t you?" |
6457 | ( 36)"Does he know the name of M. Lafayette?" |
6457 | ( 47)"What day better than the present?" |
6457 | ( 80)"What will you, Mr. jenkinson? |
6457 | ( 82)"Pray, Mr. Gnawbone, how is the queen?" |
6457 | ( 85)"Is a woman in leading strings all her life in this country? |
6457 | ( 92)"Could not one make that little journey?" |
6457 | .. Did the wood look very beautiful? |
6457 | A mother whom she looks up to and doats upon-- a sister whom she so fondly loves-- how shall they be replaced? |
6457 | A''n''t you? |
6457 | After a little pause,"Mais est- ce qu''une femme est en tutelle pour la vie dans ce pays?" |
6457 | Am I not doing what I most desire upon earth-- remaining by your side? |
6457 | And can he want to keep them all? |
6457 | And do you, then, measure my regard of heart by my remissness of hand? |
6457 | And even if he endure the perpetual tutoring, will not she sicken of her victories ere he wearies of his defeats? |
6457 | And how does horticulture thrive? |
6457 | And how ventures M. de Chauvelin to transmit such a proposal? |
6457 | And how was I to get thither? |
6457 | And how? |
6457 | And what had I done with this son? |
6457 | And where? |
6457 | And which of these characters is true? |
6457 | And will Alexander be fit or willing to live under the eye, which he will regard as living under the subjection, of his wife''s relations? |
6457 | Anything capable of understanding her?" |
6457 | Are you-- are you--[looking with strong expression to discover her answer] writing anything?" |
6457 | As to my engagements;--when should I finish, should I tell all that have been made or proposed, even in the short space of a single week? |
6457 | At length he came directly up to me and Herschel, and the first question his majesty asked me was,--"How does Astronomy go on?" |
6457 | Bonaparte interrupted him and said,''Is the young man agreeable to your daughter?'' |
6457 | Burney?" |
6457 | But could any permanent amendment ensue, from working upon his errors only through his passions? |
6457 | But though so sluggish to learn, I was always observant: do you remember Mr. Seaton''s denominating me, at fifteen,"the silent, observant Miss Fanny"? |
6457 | But when, in the course of the day, something broke from me of my reverence at his heavenly resignation,"R � sign �?" |
6457 | But who, also, in circumstances so awful, could require the exhortation of a priest or the example of a congregation, to stimulate devotion? |
6457 | But why go back to my grief? |
6457 | But why say damped, when it is only their unreasonable expectations that are disappointed? |
6457 | But will four months fit him for beginning such a trial? |
6457 | Can I still hope, my dear friend, for that patient partiality which will await my tardy answer ere it judges my irksome silence? |
6457 | Can life, he often says, he more innocent than ours, or happiness more inoffensive? |
6457 | Can there be injustice more flagrant? |
6457 | Can you imagine anything more amiable than this pleasure in giving pleasure? |
6457 | Could anything More sweetly mark the real kindness of the queen than this remembrance of my fondness for plays? |
6457 | Did I breathe then? |
6457 | Did I tell you that I sent a copy of those letters to M. de Lafayette? |
6457 | Do n''t you think it very extraordinary that he should not himself desire to see Mrs. Damer? |
6457 | Do you ever see any of the friends we used to live among? |
6457 | Do you know anything of a certain young lady, who eludes all my inquiries, famous for having eight sisters, all of uncommon talents? |
6457 | Do you not know him well, my Susan, by this opening rodomontade? |
6457 | Do you suppose I do not often-- often-- often think who would like, and be fittest to be the bearer to you of these honours? |
6457 | Had you my letter from Tr � ves? |
6457 | Has M. d''Arblay ever been at Toulon? |
6457 | Has he any particular name for you?" |
6457 | Have you ever seen him since this fatality in his family? |
6457 | He laughed and inquired who corrected my proofs? |
6457 | He listened with much interest and pleasure, and said,"Mais, ne pourroit- on pas faire ce petit voyage- l? |
6457 | He looked at me with sweetness inexpressible, and pathetically said,"Qui?" |
6457 | He stopped, but I saw he meant"Who shall return this for you?" |
6457 | He would not then come; for what, he said, was a beautiful city to him who could not look at it? |
6457 | His restlessness still interrupting all attention, in defiance of my earnest whispers for quietness, she now said,"Perhaps he is hungry?" |
6457 | How are your own politics upon that point? |
6457 | How can she know what a child is thinking of before it can speak?" |
6457 | How do you do, Ernest?" |
6457 | How long,"he adds,"have you been at it?" |
6457 | How should he?--especially a revolutionnaire? |
6457 | How tall is he?--how old is he?--Is he fat or thin?--is he like you or M. d''Arblay? |
6457 | However, be only grumbled out,"Qu''est- ce que c''est, donc? |
6457 | I always answered,"What courage? |
6457 | I asked him if he was not proud of being so kindly noticed by the adjutant- general of M. Lafayette? |
6457 | I heard a gentleman''s voice from the next box call softly to Miss Barbara Planta,"Who is that lady?" |
6457 | I hope I have gained a smile from you by my disclosure that I lost my journal time for my usual post- day by successive dissipation? |
6457 | I hope your last club was more congenial? |
6457 | I like well the idea of giving no name at all,-why should not I have my mystery as well as"Udolpho? |
6457 | I preserved, therefore, my taciturnity, till, tired of her own, she gently repeated,"Puis- je le garder, cette copie que vous m''avez envoy �?" |
6457 | I remember, in playing-at questions and commands, when I was thirteen, being asked when I intended to marry? |
6457 | If he can say that, what must I be not to echo it? |
6457 | In such a condition, who can wonder to hear that, a very few miles from Leipzic, he expired? |
6457 | Is it not to be feared that as they, the passions, subside, the errors would all peep up again? |
6457 | Is it that the regard she appeared to conceive for me in England was not only sincere but constant? |
6457 | Is jenny capable of such a mounting journey? |
6457 | Lafayette? |
6457 | Lafayette?" |
6457 | Madame de Stael whispered me,"How do you like him?" |
6457 | Madame de la Ch � tre made a speech to the same effect,"Et quel jour, par exemple,"said M. de Narbonne,"feroit wieux qu''aujourd''hui? |
6457 | Mais-- Vous vous rendez, n''est- ce- pas? |
6457 | Mickleham, February 29, 1793 Have you not begun, dearest sir, to give me up as a lost sheep? |
6457 | Mr Cantab? |
6457 | Mr. Hay had lost his air of satisfaction and complacency, Mr. Tudor merely inquired whether he should come again? |
6457 | Mr. P. And can you read your book, You Sweet little fellow? |
6457 | Mr. P. And do you run about here in this pleasant place all day long? |
6457 | Need I say more?") |
6457 | Not very bad English that? |
6457 | O my dearest friend,- Can the intelligence I have most desired come to me in a form that forbids my joy at it? |
6457 | Oh, mon ami, ought we not rather to unite in comforting each other by sustaining ourselves? |
6457 | On, therefore, I again forced myself, and with tolerable composure I said,"Je n''ai rien, monsieur, je crois, faire ici? |
6457 | Or was it from a yet greater fear of malignant cruelty awakened by the very name of his successor, Savary, Duke of Rovigo? |
6457 | Or wherefore his characters thus without fault? |
6457 | Or will it only do to be printed at the expense of the acting ladies, and given gratis? |
6457 | Our next and last interruption, I think, was from a very gentle tap at the door, and a"May I come in?" |
6457 | Page 137 whose can withstand it? |
6457 | Page 143"How is your little boy?" |
6457 | Page 156"Pray,"cried she,"if it is not impertinent, may I ask to what religion you shall bring up your son?" |
6457 | Particulars I have now no room for; but when in about half an hour, she said,"How long do you intend to stay here, Madame d''Arblay?" |
6457 | Pitt? |
6457 | Poor Mrs. Byron, who used to inhabit it, would have enjoyed her grandson''s(338) reputation, would not she? |
6457 | Pray( smiling) what will he bring out next?" |
6457 | Qu''en penses tu?" |
6457 | Shall I apologise for this wordy explanation? |
6457 | She asked me If you would accompany Mrs. Locke back into the country? |
6457 | She asked me, archly, whether I was not fatigued by coming to the pump- room so early? |
6457 | She then a little embarrassed me by an inquiry"why Major Phillips went to Ireland?" |
6457 | Should that be proved, what compensation will be sufficient for repairing his confinement? |
6457 | Should we not have done so mutually, if the contagious fever at Cambridge had carried him off? |
6457 | Tell, tell me, my beloved ami, where, when you would have me remove? |
6457 | The death of one of these so untimely departed favourites, how will Madame de Stael support? |
6457 | The door now again opened, and another royal personage put in his head- and upon the princess saying,"How d''ye do, William?" |
6457 | The greater part of our income[ Fanny''s pension] is anything but certain, yet what should we do if that were to fail us? |
6457 | The king, then, looking at Herschel, as who would say,"How is it?" |
6457 | The queen now imagined he did not know whom she meant, and said,"What does he call you? |
6457 | Then, putting his arms a- kimbo, he said, in lower, but more, taunting accents,"Vous ne le jugez donc pas propos de me suivre?" |
6457 | Tide? |
6457 | Unhappy myself everywhere, why not leave unshackled his dawning life? |
6457 | Voulez- vous bien pr � senter tous mes complimens au capitaine? |
6457 | Vous le voyez bien?" |
6457 | Was this from the real merit he had shown in his police capacity? |
6457 | Well, but how does your Petit and pretty monsieur do? |
6457 | What censure can ever so much hurt as such compensation can heal? |
6457 | What do you think of it?" |
6457 | What does he do in Ireland? |
6457 | What is become of the campaign? |
6457 | What is there there to merit her? |
6457 | What kind of animals have you left her with? |
6457 | What must I be, if not far more than Page 276 contented? |
6457 | What must be the feelings at the queen''s house? |
6457 | What news from Captain phillip? |
6457 | What will you have conjectured? |
6457 | What would she say should evidence be imperfect or wanting, and they should acquit her? |
6457 | What?" |
6457 | When the servants were gone, the duke asked me if anybody might write a letter to the king? |
6457 | When will some occasion offer to bring me back- not my revenge, but my first and most coveted satisfaction? |
6457 | When will the work come out for which she was, she says, chass � e de la France? |
6457 | Who, however, could have expected such prompt admission? |
6457 | Why did you not bring her with you? |
6457 | Why does he not burn half? |
6457 | Why, Fanny, what are you about, and where are you? |
6457 | Why, then, make myself black bile to disturb me further? |
6457 | Will it make you double your diligence for what is not at an end? |
6457 | Will you take a little cell under our rustic roof, and fare as we fare? |
6457 | Would I not have left even Kin to have followed you and your fate even to St. Domingo? |
6457 | Would you have me make any inquiry if it be irreversible?'' |
6457 | Yet how can that be? |
6457 | You ask who Page 452 named him preacher for the 5th Sunday in Lent: How could I omit telling you''twas the Bishop of London himself? |
6457 | and for what ought we to prepare? |
6457 | and in an evening? |
6457 | and why do you think him SO very bad? |
6457 | are both parties incapacitated from beginning? |
6457 | connaisseZ- vous Sidney? |
6457 | cried the king archly,"and what other characters have you seized?" |
6457 | cried the king;"what is become of him?" |
6457 | d''Arblay?" |
6457 | d''Arblay?" |
6457 | do you know Sidney? |
6457 | everybody has left off even corsets!--Shift sleeves? |
6457 | exclaimed I,"le premier Consul?" |
6457 | exclaimed I,"the first Consul?" |
6457 | exclaimed he,"vous � tes Anglaise? |
6457 | hey, mon petit monsieur? |
6457 | hey? |
6457 | how will she be content to be a monitress, where she will find everything in useful life to teach, and nothing in return to learn? |
6457 | it matters not; but who knew that circumstance when they played truant? |
6457 | let us speak upon a grave subject: do I see you that morning? |
6457 | no one wears more than one!-- Stays? |
6457 | or is each waiting a happy moment to strike some definitive stroke? |
6457 | or only form the skeleton?" |
6457 | she cried:"I am vastly glad to see you again and how does your little boy do?" |
6457 | tell to me, what will you?" |
6457 | that she has heard me too?" |
6457 | vous avez connu cette coquine de Brulard? |
6457 | what does he go there for?" |
6457 | what ought to be held more sacred where it is innocent-- what ought so little to risk any unnecessary or premature concussion? |
6457 | what you say?" |
6457 | when do you come spend a large week in that house? |
6457 | when shall I get to Chelsea, and embrace again my beloved father? |
6457 | who can rejoice? |
6457 | who made it you, mamma, or little aunty?" |
6457 | why, how can he so encumber himself? |
6457 | with double the emphasis, repeated the young princess, now sitting down and taking him upon her knee;"and how does M. d''Arblay do?" |
6457 | you are really, then, well?--really in Paris?-- really without hurt or injury? |
6457 | you knew that infamous woman?" |
25851 | ''Are you in Mr. Sweedlepipes''s line, sir?'' 25851 ''Do you mean that_ he_ must be put in the ground before any good comes of_ him_?'' |
25851 | ''Natural?'' 25851 ''Or,''pursued Poker, in a kind of despondent rapture,''or if I was to deny that I came to this town to see and hear you sir, what would it avail me? |
25851 | ''Possible?'' 25851 ''Wa''at mad''Thompson think it was goot?'' |
25851 | ''What George, sir? 25851 ''What do you do there?'' |
25851 | ''Which is that, ma''am?'' 25851 ''Will you show me a few of them?'' |
25851 | ''Would you like to see your beeograffer''s moustache and wiskers, ma''am?'' 25851 ''You admire that house?'' |
25851 | ''You know something about Falstaff, eh?'' 25851 ARE we to have that play??? |
25851 | ARE we to have that play??? 25851 ARE we to have that play??? |
25851 | As to your clambering,he replied,"do n''t I know what happened of old? |
25851 | Did you ever see such preposterous exaggeration of small claims? 25851 Do n''t you think,"he wrote on the 24th of January,"this is a good name and quotation? |
25851 | Do you know how many waistcoats I wear? |
25851 | Do you remember my writing a letter to the prefet of police about that coachman? 25851 How as to a story in two periods-- with a lapse of time between, like a French Drama? |
25851 | How can I tell you,he continues,"what has happened since that first day? |
25851 | How do I know that I, a man, am to learn from insects-- unless it is to learn how little my littlenesses are? 25851 I have established myself, from the first, in the ladies''cabin-- you remember it? |
25851 | I have often asked Americans in London which were the better railroads,--ours or theirs? 25851 I mentioned the dog on the first night here? |
25851 | Is the young gentleman upstairs the son of the man that put together_ Dombey_? |
25851 | Is there any Italian phrase for a lump of sugar? 25851 Mac and I think of going to Ireland for six weeks in the spring, and seeing whether anything is to be done there, in the way of a book? |
25851 | Pray, Mr. Dickens, where was your son educated? |
25851 | Supposing your_ Goldsmith_ made a general sensation, what should you think of doing a cheap edition of his works? 25851 Tell me what you think,"he had written just before his return,"of 36 and 37? |
25851 | Tell me,he wrote from Yorkshire, where he had been meanwhile passing pleasant holiday with a friend,"what you think of Mrs. Gamp? |
25851 | What do you think of this idea for it? 25851 What do you think,"he wrote after six weeks,"of_ this_ name for my story-- BURIED ALIVE? |
25851 | What do you want? |
25851 | What does it come to? |
25851 | What on earth does it all mean? |
25851 | What the devil does echo mean? 25851 Which Mrs. Harris''s own words to me, was these:''Sairey Gamp,''she says,''why not go to Margate? |
25851 | Who can listen,exclaimed Thackeray,"to objections regarding such a book as this? |
25851 | Why else,he said,"should I so obstinately have kept to that name when once it turned up?" |
25851 | Will Lord John meet the Parliament, or resign first? |
25851 | Wo n''t it do to- morrow? |
25851 | You read that life of Clare? |
25851 | You recollect that I asked you to read it all together, for I knew that I was working for that? 25851 _ Old England._ Can you cipher? |
25851 | _ Old England._ Can you make figures? 25851 _ Old England._ Can you write? |
25851 | _ Old England._ What do you learn, old fellow? 25851 _ Young Ireland._ Air yes? |
25851 | _ Young Ireland._ Did it fit ankommon? 25851 ''A buono mano signore?'' 25851 ''A buono mano signore?'' 25851 ''And ca n''t you do it now?'' 25851 ''And her extrication is to be a certainty to me, that this has really happened?'' 25851 ''Are they strong?'' 25851 ''But that''s rather hard treatment for a witness, is n''t it?'' 25851 ''C''est vrai donc,''says the Duke,''que Madame la Duchesse n''est plus?'' 25851 ''Dead?'' 25851 ''Do n''t you think it very discreditable? 25851 ''Do you intend remaining long in Venice sir?'' 25851 ''Do you know what you are doing, my lord? 25851 ''Great heaven, sir,''said I,''how do I know? 25851 ''Has he ever walked out now, for instance?'' 25851 ''How is that, sir?'' 25851 ''If she_ must_ pray, why ca n''t she pray in their favour, instead of going against''em? 25851 ''In particular,''says he,''how else was it possible that the date, the 13th of September, could have been got at? 25851 ''Is there anything contraband in this carriage, signore?'' 25851 ''Might one ask the nature of this dream, sir?'' 25851 ''My lord, you do n''t understand me, I think?'' 25851 ''None at all?'' 25851 ''Perhaps you remained longer then sir?'' 25851 ''Sairey,''says Mrs. Harris, solemn,''whence this mystery? 25851 ''Sir,''said he, with the sweetest politeness,''can you speak French?'' 25851 ''Truly sir? 25851 ''Wa''al,''said he triumphantly,''and hoo did it first begin? 25851 ''Well,''I can fancy you saying,''but about his impressions of Boston and the Americans?'' 25851 ''Whaat sart of a hoose sur?'' 25851 ''What is it neow sir?'' 25851 ''What is the True religion?'' 25851 ''What''s_ he_ been doing?'' 25851 ''What?'' 25851 ''Where''s the great poet?'' 25851 ''Who is Jack Pithick?'' 25851 ''Why?'' 25851 ''Yes, I know,''said Mr. Dick--''in the morning; but what year?'' 25851 ''Yes, that is very true: but now,_ What''s his motive?_''I fancy I could make something like it into a kind of amusing and more innocent Pecksniff. 25851 ''You never go behind I think sir, or--?'' 25851 ''You smoke, do n''t you?'' 25851 *****Do you think it worth while, in the illustrations, to throw the period back at all for the sake of anything good in the costume? |

25851 | ?" |
25851 | ?" |
25851 | A droll existence, is it not? |
25851 | A less period than ten years? |
25851 | And O, Angelica, what has become of you, this present Sunday morning when I ca n''t attend to the sermon? |
25851 | And are_ they_, too, so well kept and so fair to see? |
25851 | And have you any idea that at this moment-- this very time-- half the public at least supposes me to be paid? |
25851 | And if so again, what would I do it for? |
25851 | And is n''t it expressive, the perpetual prating of him in the book as_ the Poet_? |
25851 | And mind, sir, I can see nobody-- do you hear? |
25851 | And what do you say? |
25851 | And what do you think of their tearing violently up to me and beginning to shake hands like madmen? |
25851 | And-- don''t you think? |
25851 | Animals.--Will you think of a particular animal, Madame? |
25851 | Any word from Alfred in his misery? |
25851 | As they were all impressed by his manner, the Attorney- General took him up again:''Have you received any information, sir, not yet disclosed to us?'' |
25851 | As, what became of all those lanterns hanging to the roof when the Junk was out at sea? |
25851 | Ask me a question or two about fresco: will you be so good? |
25851 | At Baltimore on Tuesday night( a very brilliant night indeed), they asked as they came out:''When will Mr. Dickens read here again?'' |
25851 | At night, shall I say? |
25851 | Between five and six in the morning, shall I say? |
25851 | Browne? |
25851 | But do you quite consider that the public exhibition of oneself takes place equally, whosoever may get the money? |
25851 | But how do we know them? |
25851 | But is it not always true, in comedy and in tragedy, that the more real the man the more genuine the actor?" |
25851 | But the party for the night following? |
25851 | But what do you think of their being EDITORS? |
25851 | But where will the blame lie if a man takes up_ Pickwick_ and is disappointed to find that he is not reading_ Rasselas_? |
25851 | C, have you seen a paragraph respecting our departed friend, which has gone the round of the morning papers?'' |
25851 | Can that be so, after all? |
25851 | Can you suggest any particular young person, serving in such a capacity, who would suit me? |
25851 | Come for your beer as usual, have you?'' |
25851 | Comment dites- vous? |
25851 | Could greatness be properly ascribed, by the fastidious, to a writer whose defects were so glaring, exaggerated, untrue, fantastic, and melodramatic? |
25851 | Could it be done for a couple of guineas apiece at the Clarendon? |
25851 | Could it be dropped decently? |
25851 | Dickens?'' |
25851 | Did I tell you how many fountains we have here? |
25851 | Did I tell you that the New York Press are going to give me a public dinner on Saturday the 18th?" |
25851 | Did I tell you that the favourite drink before you get up is an Eye- Opener? |
25851 | Did n''t you think so too?" |
25851 | Did you ever hear how he died? |
25851 | Did you ever read( of course you have, though) De Foe''s_ History of the Devil_? |

25851 | Do n''t you remember? |
25851 | Do n''t you see? |
25851 | Do n''t you think Mrs. Gaskell charming? |
25851 | Do n''t you think it would be better for her to be brought up, if possible, to see Elliotson again? |
25851 | Do n''t you? |
25851 | Do you know him, or have you passed him anywhere?" |
25851 | Do you know him?" |
25851 | Do you know that the French soldiers call the English medal''The Salvage Medal''--meaning that they got it for saving the English army? |
25851 | Do you know young Romilly? |
25851 | Do you mean to go on, to- day?'' |
25851 | Do you mean to say he never comes out at that little iron door?'' |
25851 | Do you see any objection?" |
25851 | Do you see this, ma''am?'' |
25851 | Do you think I can? |
25851 | Do you think it may be done, without making people angry? |
25851 | Do you think such a proceeding as I suggest would weaken number one very much? |
25851 | Do you think that would be better? |
25851 | Do you think the people so likely to be pleased with Florence, and Walter, as to relish another number of them at their present age? |
25851 | Do you understand? |
25851 | Does it seem too grim? |
25851 | Dombey and family?'' |
25851 | Eh? |
25851 | Eh?" |
25851 | Everybody was told they would have to submit to the most iron despotism; and did n''t I come Macready over them? |
25851 | Fletcher at once replied,"Yes,"and to the marble- merchant''s farther enquiry"how?" |
25851 | Flowers.--The particular flower? |
25851 | For who can be of any use whatsomdever such a day as this, excepting out of doors?" |
25851 | Gamp?'' |
25851 | God bless them, you ca n''t imagine(_ you!_ how can you?) |
25851 | Gore''s?'' |
25851 | Have you seen the Boston chapter yet? |

25851 | Hogarth is surrounded with great distresses''--observe, I never thought of saying''your mother''as to a mortal creature--''will you extricate her?'' |
25851 | How can_ I_ be her fate? |
25851 | How is he, Dolby? |
25851 | How is it falling into ruins? |
25851 | I am sorry he should lose so much French, but do n''t you think to break another half- year''s schooling would be a pity? |
25851 | I ask myself this question: if corn is not to be relied on, what is? |
25851 | I asked Manby why he stuck to him? |
25851 | I do n''t know what to say about dining to- morrow-- perhaps you''ll send up to- morrow morning for news? |
25851 | I have discovered that the landlord of the Albion has delicious hollands( but what is that to_ you_? |
25851 | I have done so.--Of what animal? |
25851 | I have done so.--Of what class, Madame? |
25851 | I have done so.--Of what class? |
25851 | I hope this may suit you? |
25851 | I infer that in reality you do yourself think, that what I first thought of is_ not_ the way? |
25851 | I never thought of Uncle Sam.--By the bye, who_ is_ Uncle Sam?''" |
25851 | I never told you this, did I? |
25851 | I say nothing of Kate''s troubles-- but you recollect her propensity? |
25851 | I think a good name?" |
25851 | I think under all circumstances of politics, acquaintance, and_ Edinburgh Review_, that it''s much better as it is-- Don''t you?" |
25851 | I think you know the form-- Don''t you? |
25851 | I thought there was a good glimpse of a crowd, from a window-- eh?" |
25851 | I want him to loom as a fanciful thing all over London; and to get up a general notion of''What will the Shadow say about this, I wonder? |
25851 | I would take some man of literary pretensions as a secretary( Charles Collins? |
25851 | If I had, why should I not say so? |
25851 | If I have not actually used that word, will you introduce it? |
25851 | If I was to deny it, what would it avail me?'' |
25851 | If so, would I do it for the_ Chronicle_? |
25851 | In case I should succeed, and should not come down to you this morning, shall you be at the club or elsewhere after dinner? |
25851 | In the later letter from Lucerne written as he was travelling home, he adds:"_ Did_ I ever tell you the details of my theatrical idea, before? |
25851 | In the morning? |
25851 | In the very improbable( surely impossible?) |
25851 | Is he content?''. |
25851 | Is it not so? |
25851 | Is it worth having coats and gowns of dear old Goldsmith''s day? |
25851 | Is n''t it odd? |
25851 | Is n''t that a good story? |
25851 | Is n''t this admirable? |
25851 | Is that the Post?'' |
25851 | Is the Shadow here?'' |
25851 | Is there not?" |
25851 | Is_ this_ my experience?" |
25851 | It occurs to me-- might not your doubt about the christening be a reason for not making the ceremony the subject of an illustration? |
25851 | It_ is_ handsome, is it not?" |
25851 | James''s?" |
25851 | Just look, will you?" |
25851 | Madame, he says aloud, will you think of any class of objects? |
25851 | Mary''s little dog too, Mrs. Bouncer, barked in the greatest agitation on being called down and asked by Mary,''Who is this?'' |
25851 | Meanwhile will you let him know that I have fixed the Nickleby dinner for Saturday, the 5th of October? |
25851 | Monsieur Fors Tair, n''est- ce pas? |
25851 | Mr. Britain must have another Christian name, then? |
25851 | My General, says he, will you write a name on this slate, after your friend has done so? |
25851 | My own impression of it, you remember?" |
25851 | Not bad?" |
25851 | Not come back, after such houses as these? |
25851 | Now do you make anything out of this? |
25851 | Now who do you think the lady is? |
25851 | Now, WHAT SAY YOU?" |
25851 | Oh, the fine old English Tory times; When will they come again? |
25851 | On the other hand who would willingly have lost the fruits of an activity on the whole so healthy and beneficent? |
25851 | Or is Toby but a dream? |
25851 | Or it might be interrogatory summons to"A hard trot of three hours?" |
25851 | Or, THE DOCTOR OF BEAUVAIS?" |
25851 | Or, THE THREAD OF GOLD? |
25851 | Or,"Do you know, I should n''t object to an early chop at some village inn?" |
25851 | Or,"Is it possible that you ca n''t, ought n''t, should n''t, must n''t,_ wo n''t_ be tempted, this gorgeous day?" |
25851 | Or,"Where shall it be--_oh, where_--Hampstead, Greenwich, Windsor? |
25851 | Or,"You do n''t feel disposed, do you, to muffle yourself up and start off with me for a good brisk walk over Hampstead Heath? |
25851 | Perhaps this forty- first, which I am now at work on, had better contain the announcement of_ Barnaby_? |
25851 | Perhaps you have seen the history of the Dutch minister at Turin, and of the spiriting away of his daughter by the Jesuits? |
25851 | Pickles? |
25851 | Pickles?'' |
25851 | Result, Where is happiness to be found then? |
25851 | Shall I ask him for a copy or no? |
25851 | Shall I ever, I wonder, get the frame of mind back as it used to be then? |
25851 | Shall I? |
25851 | Shall we go to Rochester to- morrow week( my birthday) if the weather be, as it surely must be, better?" |
25851 | She asked him to give her his writings, and could she have them that afternoon? |
25851 | Should I ever have blundered on the waterfall of St. Wighton, if you had not piloted the way? |
25851 | Should you like to go to Alum Bay while you are here? |
25851 | So Charley has let you have the carriage, has he, Dolby? |
25851 | Spell it? |
25851 | Stanny and Jerrold I should particularly wish; Edwin Landseer; Blanchard; perhaps Harness; and what say you to Fonblanque and Fox? |
25851 | Steerforth?" |
25851 | Strewn with them? |
25851 | Sunday?) |
25851 | Surely not Everywhere? |
25851 | That childhood exaggerates what it sees, too, has he not tenderly told? |
25851 | The Americans read him; the free, enlightened, independent Americans; and what more_ would_ he have? |
25851 | The Lion.--Will you think of another class of objects, Madame? |
25851 | The Pawnbroker''s account of it?" |
25851 | The Rose.--Will you open the paper you hold in your hand? |
25851 | The only absolutely new incident however was that"After dinner he asked me if I would come into another room and smoke a cigar? |
25851 | The question is, how far will that contingency tell, under Lord Campbell''s Act?" |
25851 | The sun was going down, very red and bright; and the prospect looked like that ruddy sketch of Catlin''s, which attracted our attention( you remember? |
25851 | Then quoth the inimitable-- Was it a dream of Toby''s after all? |
25851 | Then she says, how could it be if we dine late enough? |
25851 | Then there came hard upon this:"What do you think of the following double title for the beginning of that little tale? |
25851 | There might not be anything in that but a possibility of an extra lift for the little book when it did come-- eh? |
25851 | There was a piano in our room at Hartford( you recollect our being there, early in February?) |
25851 | These figures are of course between ourselves, at present; but are they not magnificent? |

25851 | This is not agreeable-- is it? |

25851 | Whether anybody on the voyage ever read those two books printed in characters like bird- cages and fly- traps? |
25851 | Whether the idol Chin Tee, of the eighteen arms, enshrined in a celestial Punch''s Show, in the place of honour, ever tumbled out in heavy weather? |
25851 | Whether they dangled there, banging and beating against each other, like so many jesters''baubles? |
25851 | Which is it, my dear fellow? |
25851 | Which is it? |
25851 | Who has not had occasion, however priding himself on his unlikeness to Micawber, to think of Micawber as he reviewed his own experiences? |
25851 | Who has not himself waited, like Micawber, for something to turn up? |
25851 | Who is so familiar with him as not still to be finding something new in him? |
25851 | Who is there that has ever thought him tedious? |
25851 | Who that recollects the numbers of_ Nickleby_ as they appeared can have forgotten how each number added to the general enjoyment? |
25851 | Who will doubt that the chapter on HOW NOT TO DO IT was then absorbing the old soldier''s attention? |

25851 | With marvellous imagination, and a nature to endow it with elements of universal power, what secrets of creative art could possibly be closed to him? |
25851 | Would I look at it as a Fortune, and in no other point of view? |
25851 | Would I name a sum? |
25851 | Would there be any distinctly bad effect in holding this idea over for another twelvemonth? |
25851 | Would you leave it for happiness''sake? |

25851 | You recognize the queer vanity which is at the root of all this? |
25851 | You recollect that favourite pigstye of mine near Broadstairs? |
25851 | You remember my fears about her when she was in London the time of Alfred''s marriage, and that I said she looked to me as if she were in a decline? |
25851 | You remember the dumb dodge of relating an escape from captivity? |
25851 | You will ask Mac, and why not his sister? |

25851 | and, more difficult question than that, what has become of Me as I was when I sat by your side?" |
25851 | he remarked of an ably- written pamphlet in which this was urged( 10th of November 1866):"what is the worth of the remedy after all? |
25851 | nettled by this( you feel it? |
25851 | or is it Mr. Dickens''s raven?_ he says. |
25851 | or thereabouts? |
25851 | or,''I said, observing that it still hesitated, and was moved with the greatest compassion for me,''perhaps the Roman Catholic is the best? |
25851 | perhaps it makes one think of God oftener, and believe in him more steadily?'' |
25851 | remembering what we often said of the canker at the root of all that Paris life? |
25851 | said I to the very queer small boy,''where do you live?'' |
25851 | stands? |
25851 | to find those fancies it has given me and you the greatest satisfaction to think of, at the core of it all? |
25851 | was there_ not_ something very serious in it once? |
25851 | who was I that I should quarrel with the town for being changed to me, when I myself had come back, so changed, to it? |
6042 | ( 232) He looked extremely provoked, and asked if I really meant to inform him I did not choose his company? 6042 ( 362) Need I say this was Madame de la, Fite? |
6042 | ( 368)PRAY, will you tell me,"said Mrs. Crewe, drily,"what you mean by the people? |
6042 | A comedy? |
6042 | A design upon me? |
6042 | A little, sir? |
6042 | A shake? |
6042 | Ah, ma''am-- is there no language but of words? 6042 Altered, is he?" |
6042 | And can he ever look pleasant? 6042 And can this man,"cried he, presently,"this man-- so gentle--- be guilty?" |
6042 | And can you,I cried, fixing him,"can you have so much compassion for one captive, and still have none for another?" |
6042 | And has he done it? |
6042 | And how, for heaven''s sake? |
6042 | And if it does,cried Mrs. Crewe,"what is it to us? |
6042 | And if you could so love him,cried I,"knowing him only in a general way, what would you have felt for him had you known him at Streatham?" |
6042 | And in the Little park? |
6042 | And is it essential,cried I,"that they should so run them through that nobody can understand them? |
6042 | And is there no dispensation? |
6042 | And now, poor Stanhope,cried the duke,"give another glass to poor Stanhope, d''ye hear?" |
6042 | And now,I continued,"shall I tell you, just in the same simple style, how I have been struck with the speakers and speeches I have yet heard?" |
6042 | And now,cried he, making us all sit down again,"where are my rascals of servants? |
6042 | And pray what was it? |
6042 | And pray, Mr. Turbulent, solve me, then, this difficulty; what choice has a poor female with whom she may converse? 6042 And pray, ma''am, what food have they in winter?" |
6042 | And pray,quoth I to James, when he told me this,"did you not say the honour of an audience?" |
6042 | And shall I tell you,I added,"something in which you had nearly been involved with him?" |
6042 | And was it my spinning? |
6042 | And what do you think of Miss Fuzilier? |
6042 | And what is it has saved you? |
6042 | And what was that? |
6042 | And what,cried he, laughing,"do you say to that notion now you see him?" |
6042 | And what,cried he,"has your father got, at last? |
6042 | And what,he asked,"shall you do?" |
6042 | And when? |
6042 | And where do you wait? |
6042 | And where? 6042 And who bin he?" |
6042 | And why not? |
6042 | And why,cried he,"do you speak so low? |
6042 | And why? |
6042 | And why? |
6042 | And will the chancellor speak to adjourn? |
6042 | And you wish,he cried,"to hear me? |
6042 | Are you approaching,I cried,"to hear my upbraidings?" |
6042 | Are you preparing,he cried,"for a campaign?" |
6042 | Are- are you feverish, ma''am? |
6042 | But better? |
6042 | But can you speak seriously,cried he,""when You say you know nothing of this business?" |
6042 | But did you see nothing-- remark nothing there? 6042 But do I use it?" |
6042 | But for what is your man to have it, when it is mine? |
6042 | But have you, yourself, ma''am, no curiosity-- no desire to see Colonel Wellbred? |
6042 | But how,cried I,"could you stand?" |
6042 | But how,cried he,"do you give up, without deigning to assign one reason for It"? |
6042 | But how,cried he,"do you stand the fiery trial of this Streatham book that is coming upon us?" |
6042 | But how,cried he,"have I incurred your upbraidings?" |
6042 | But in the Little park? |
6042 | But pray, ma''am,very gravely, how did it happen? |
6042 | But the real use of a fan,cried he,"if there is any, is it not-- to hide a particular blush that ought not to appear?" |
6042 | But what was it? |
6042 | But what,cried I,"was the occasion that drew you forth?" |
6042 | But will you not, at least, tell me your reasons for this conduct? |
6042 | But would he, if guilty, have waited its chance? 6042 But you have not seen much of him?" |
6042 | But, at least,I said,"I hope what I hear is not true, though I now grow afraid to ask?" |
6042 | But, surely you must have read the charges? |
6042 | But,cried he,"can you not bid somebody watch?" |
6042 | But: pray, now, Colonel Wellbred, tell me sincerely)--could you really make out what I was singing? |
6042 | By auction, Sir? 6042 By your father?" |
6042 | Can nobody,he cried,"let you know when they are coming?" |
6042 | Come hither, do you hear? |
6042 | Come, Miss Burney,cried the queen,"how are your spirits?-- How is your voice?" |
6042 | Corrigà © e? 6042 Could you imagine I should miss your conversation, your ease, your pleasantness, your gaiety, and take no notice of the loss?" |
6042 | Did I bring you here? |
6042 | Do you see Scott? |
6042 | Do you? |
6042 | Do you? |
6042 | Does Miss Burney know Latin? |
6042 | Entertained? |
6042 | Fanciful, Sir? |
6042 | Give me, then, your promise,--your solemn promise,--at least I may claim that? |
6042 | Good heaven, Mr. Turbulent, what can induce you to say this? |
6042 | Have I? |
6042 | Have they indeed? |
6042 | Have you not heard of yourself? |
6042 | Have you read two? |
6042 | Have you, then, still,cried he,"the same sentiments?" |
6042 | Have you,cried I,"heard all thus far of the defence, and are you still unmoved?" |
6042 | How can that be,cried he,"when you never contest any one point with her?" |
6042 | How do you do, Captain Burney? |
6042 | How do you do, sir? |
6042 | How is it all to be? |
6042 | How nervous I am? |
6042 | How should he,cried I,"look otherwise than unpleasant here?" |
6042 | How,he cried,"are You? |
6042 | How?--by not answering when spoken to? |
6042 | I can not,he said,"stop now, but I will come again; however, you know it, perhaps, already? |
6042 | I know it,cried he,"and what do I care?" |
6042 | I must fairly, then, own myself utterly ignorant upon this subject, and-- and-- may I go on? |
6042 | I thought he meant to leave us to- day? 6042 I understand,"quoth I,"there is a great dearth of abilities in this new Assembly; how then should there be any variety?" |
6042 | In disgrace? |
6042 | In my parlour? 6042 Indeed, what you have seen of him have you then so much approved?" |
6042 | Is he here, then? |
6042 | Is it not true? |
6042 | Is the defence to go on long, and are they to have any evidence; or how? |
6042 | Is the king, ma''am,he cried,"there? |
6042 | Is the queen here? |
6042 | Knock him on the head? |
6042 | Ma''am,cried he,"you have a brother in the service?" |
6042 | May I,I said,"go yet a little farther? |
6042 | May I,he cried,"come in?--and- for an hour? |
6042 | May one? |
6042 | Me? |
6042 | Me? |
6042 | Me?--no, not INo?--what, nothing?" |
6042 | Men have no fans,cried he,"and how do they do?" |
6042 | Mr. Turbulent,cried I,"will you be satisfied if I tell you it shall all blow over?" |
6042 | My help? |
6042 | My name? 6042 No offence, I hope, sir?" |
6042 | No, I hope not; I hope you have no wants about my miserable speaking? |
6042 | No, no, I do n''t mean that;--but why ca n''t we have our waitings month by month?--would not that be better? |
6042 | No? 6042 No? |
6042 | No? 6042 None of them, ma''am?" |
6042 | Not mean it? |
6042 | O How can I,cried she, in a voice of distress,"when already, as there is company here without me, Mrs. Schwellenberg has asked me what I came for?" |
6042 | O, Mr. Windham,cried I, surprised and pleased,"and can you be so liberal?" |
6042 | O,cried he, very unaffectedly,"upon the French Revolution?" |
6042 | Of leadder, sir?--of leadder? 6042 Once,"he answered,"I said a few words--""O when?" |
6042 | Perhaps,cried I,"your friends conclude you have music enough in your three months''waiting to satisfy you for all the year?" |
6042 | Pray, Mr. Turbulent,cried she, hastily,"what play are you to read to- night?" |
6042 | Pray, then, madam,cried he,"if French plays have the misfortune to displease you, what national plays have the honour Of your preference?" |
6042 | Shall I leave the poem,he cried,"or take it with me, in case there should be any leisure to go on with it to- morrow?" |
6042 | Shall I tell you,cried I,"a design I have been forming upon you?" |
6042 | Should you like to know him, ma''am? |
6042 | So then,cried Colonel Goldsworthy,"there are twenty good people in the world? |
6042 | So you meant, ma''am, to have had a breed of them,cried Colonel Goldsworthy;"a breed of young frogs? |
6042 | Surely,she cried,"you may wrap up, so as not to catch cold that once?" |
6042 | Tell me,I said,"and honestly,--should we be overturned in the boat while out at sea, what would prevent our being drowned?" |
6042 | The Lords, however, I suppose, must come? |
6042 | Then what business have they to get into my bed, ma''am? 6042 Then, sir,"very angrily,"how Come you by it?" |
6042 | Thraldom? |
6042 | To be sold? 6042 Unmoved?" |
6042 | Vell, sleeps he yet with you--Colonel Goldsworthy? |
6042 | Well, I think it will be, for I know they correspond; and what should he correspond with her for else? |
6042 | Well, Miss Burney,cried the first,"what say you to a governor- general of India now?" |
6042 | Well, and is that a good voice? |
6042 | Well, but pray, now, what do you call my voice? |
6042 | Well, but would not that be better than what it is now? 6042 Well, but,"cried he laughing,"may I find a fault? |
6042 | Well, ma''am, it''s all Colonel Wellbred, I dare say; so, suppose you and I were to take the law of him? |
6042 | Well, ma''am, what say you to all this? 6042 Well, well,"cried he,"that may be some compensation to you, but to us, to all others, what compensation is there for depriving you of time?" |
6042 | Well,he cried, in our way to the chair,"will there be war with Spain?" |
6042 | Well,quoth I, to make a little amends,"shall I tell you a compliment he paid you?" |
6042 | Well? |
6042 | What is it all to the shame and disgrace of convicted guilt? |
6042 | What news? |
6042 | What will you do, my good colonel? |
6042 | What you mean by going home? |
6042 | What''s the matter? 6042 What, in his foot?" |
6042 | What, ma''am!--won''t you give him a little tea? |
6042 | What, then, have not you heard-- how Much the king has talked? 6042 What?--hey?--How?" |
6042 | When did he come back? |
6042 | When the Duke of York came yesterday to dinner, he said almost immediately,''Pray, ma''am, what has Miss Burney left You for?'' 6042 When will he come to the point? |
6042 | When you do n''t not see them? 6042 Whether or not,"quoth I,"I am heartily glad he has not done it; why should he seem so dismal, so shut out from hope?" |
6042 | Who is it? |
6042 | Who is it? |
6042 | Who? |
6042 | Why then, ma''am, what business had it in my bed? 6042 Why, how must I do it?" |
6042 | Why, like when he was so cordial with you? 6042 Why, then, I''ll try myself-- is it so?" |
6042 | Will he stay on to- night, then, at Worcester? |
6042 | Will you give me leave to inquire,quoth I,"one thing? |
6042 | Will you, at least, promise I shall be present at the meet--? |
6042 | Yes, I''ll tell you,cried he; but again he stopped, and, hesitatingly, said,"You-- you wo n''t be angry?" |
6042 | Yes, Indeed; gentle even to humility--"Humility? 6042 Yes, Yes,"cried he, precipitately,"how else shall I go on? |
6042 | Yes, and who can wonder? 6042 Yes, ma''am, and I have been very much hurt by it: that is, if your majesty means anything relative to myself?" |
6042 | Yes, ma''am, upon my speaking,-but why did you keep Me so long in that painful suspense? |
6042 | Yes, you,--and for what, I say? |
6042 | Yes,I answered, shuddering at this new scene for her"should I tell her majesty your royal highness is here?" |
6042 | Yes,said he;"I was singing with Colonel Wellbred; and he said he was my second.--How did I do that song?" |
6042 | Yes-- but the shame, the disgrace of a flight? |
6042 | You are an Etonian, Mr. Bryant,said the king,"but pray, for what were you most famous at school?" |
6042 | You are certainly, then, afraid of him? |
6042 | You are going,she cried,"to church?--so, am I. I must run first to the inn: I suppose one-- may sit-- anywhere one pleases?" |
6042 | You are never, then( I said afterwards),"to speak here?" |
6042 | You believe not? |
6042 | You conclude,cried he, looking very sharp,"I shall then be better steeled against that fatal candour?" |
6042 | You do n''t take it ill, I hope, sir? |
6042 | You do not, however, call that virtue, ma''am-- you do not call that the rule of right? |
6042 | You have? |
6042 | You think,cried he,"''tis bringing a fresh courser into the field of battle, just as every other is completely jaded?" |
6042 | You tired!--what have you done? 6042 You will come, however, to hear Burke? |
6042 | You-- you are not well, ma''am? |
6042 | Your majesty, sir, knows General Conway? 6042 ''A drunken man?'' 6042 ''Gone?'' 6042 ''La Coquette''is your royal highness''s taste? |
6042 | ''Left me?'' |
6042 | ''Tis indeed a dread event!--and how it may terminate who can say? |
6042 | ''What do you put them there for?'' |
6042 | ''What for? |
6042 | ''Yes, it''s at full length in all the newspapers: is not she gone?'' |
6042 | ''Yes, they say she''s gone; pray what''s the reason?'' |
6042 | ( 283)"Cui Bono? |
6042 | ( 314) In the evening, Lord Courtown, opening my parlour door, called out,"May one come in?" |
6042 | ( 336) But is it possible, sir, that your daughter has no holidays? |
6042 | ( 362)"Is it possible? |
6042 | --And who will repine at that? |
6042 | --Must I teach it you,,--teach it to Miss Burney who speaks, who understands it so well?--who is never silent, and never can b silent?" |
6042 | A little while after,--"Did he go away from you early?" |
6042 | A lively"How d''ye do, Miss Burney? |
6042 | After a short vindication of his friends, he said,"You have never heard Pitt? |
6042 | After some general talk,"When, ma''am,"he said,"am I to have the honour of introducing Colonel Wellbred to you?" |
6042 | After such averseness to a meeting-- such struggles to avoid him; what am I to think of the sincerity of that pretended reluctance?" |
6042 | Afterwards he asked what his coat was, whether blue Or purple; and said,"is it not customary for a prisoner to come black?" |
6042 | Again a little ashamed of herself, she added, rather more civilly,"For what should you have that trouble?" |
6042 | Almost breathless now with amaze, I could hardly cry,"Do I?" |
6042 | Am I so happy? |
6042 | And have you heard nothing more?" |
6042 | And is it not a curious scene? |
6042 | And some time after the queen could not forbear saying,"I hope, Miss Burney, YOU minded the epilogue the other night?" |
6042 | And then came his heroic old homage to the poor eyebrows vehemently finishing with,"Do you, can you affect to know no language but speech?" |
6042 | And then, fixing her with the most provoking eyes,"Est- ce la Danemarc?" |
6042 | And then, seeing her blush extremely, he clasped his hands, in high pretended confusion, Page 27 and hiding his head, called Out,"Que ferai- je? |
6042 | And what, ma''am, has Colonel Wellbred done to merit such a mortification?" |
6042 | Are we going to lose you?" |
6042 | Are you strong? |
6042 | At last he asked me if anybody was likely to come? |
6042 | At the door of my new old room who should I encounter but Mr. Stanhope? |
6042 | Been you acquainted?" |
6042 | Beurni que je vois? |
6042 | But I wonder what he says of everybody?" |
6042 | But he would give me no satisfaction; he only said"You refuse to receive him, ma''am?-- shall I go and tell him you refuse to receive him?" |
6042 | But just before we quitted the walks I was run after by a quick female step:--"Miss Burney, do n''t you know me? |
6042 | But still, why begin with Colonel Wellbred? |
6042 | But the heaviness of heart with which we began this journey, and the dreadful prognostics of the duration of misery to which it led us-- who can tell? |
6042 | But then a difficulty arose as to where? |
6042 | But this morning, while her hair was dressing, my royal Mistress suddenly said,"Did you see any body yesterday?" |
6042 | But what are they to think of this delay? |
6042 | But what will follow? |
6042 | But what will not prejudice and education inculcate? |
6042 | But what, you will say, has a tea- drinking party to do with a botanist, a man of science, a president of the Royal Society? |
6042 | But when the dinner came I was asked by the prà © sidente,"What for send you gentlemen to my parlour?" |
6042 | Ca n''t he come out?" |
6042 | Can I call her by another name, loving that name so long, so well, for her and her sake? |
6042 | Can Mr. Hastings appear to you such a monster? |
6042 | Can You then be so unnatural as to prosecute him with this eagerness?" |
6042 | Can you allow me entrance and room for that time?" |
6042 | Colonel Manners asked me if I had not heard something, very harmonious at church in the morning? |
6042 | Could I then be sorry, seeing this, to contribute my small mite towards clearing, at least, so very wide a mistake? |
6042 | Could even his prosecutors at that moment look on-- and not shudder at least, if they did not blush? |
6042 | Could he not have chosen any other place of residence?" |
6042 | Did she imagine I should answer"For your society, ma''am"? |
6042 | Did you ever hear a more perfectly satisfactory examination? |
6042 | Do I see my dear Miss Burney?" |
6042 | Do n''t you think so?" |
6042 | Do you not think, Miss Planta, the Prince of Wales and Prince William would have been quite enough for Miss Burney? |
6042 | Do you pretend to think there is no other?'' |
6042 | Do you really want rest?" |
6042 | Do you rob, sir? |
6042 | Do you take what is not your own, but others'', sir, because your man is frightened?" |
6042 | Do you think I heard such a testimony to my most revered and beloved departed friend unmoved? |
6042 | Do you think there can be any harm in giving it now?" |
6042 | Equally amazed and provoked, she disdainfully asked me what I knew of him? |
6042 | Fairly again; but, before he entered into any narrations he asked"DO you expect Sir Lucas?" |
6042 | Fairly again?" |
6042 | Fairly here to- night?" |
6042 | Fairly is here to- day? |
6042 | Fairly then asked Dr. Fisher what they were to do? |
6042 | Fairly was here, then?" |
6042 | Fairly will ever marry again?" |
6042 | Fairly''s designs with regard to his going away? |
6042 | Fairly''s voice, saying,"Is Miss Burney there? |
6042 | Fairly, laughing,"to dine with you?" |
6042 | Fairly, pointing to my work- box, said,"Shall I read a little to you?" |
6042 | Fairly,--perhaps to show himself superior to that little sally,--asked me whether he might write his letter in my room? |
6042 | Fairly;"they would have come to you, I promise you; and what could you have done-- what would have become of you?--with Prince William in particular? |
6042 | Fairly?" |
6042 | Fairly?" |
6042 | Fairly?" |
6042 | Fairly?--Why did he not tell it me?" |
6042 | For what not go to the gentlemen? |
6042 | For what wo n''t you not marry him?" |
6042 | Has he never tasted happiness, who so deeply drinks of sorrow? |
6042 | Hastings?" |
6042 | Have I mentioned them? |
6042 | Have you ever happened to see any of his writings?" |
6042 | Have you not heard he spares nobody?" |
6042 | He appeared to me in much perturbation, and I thought by his see- saw he was going to interrupt the speech: did you prevent him?" |
6042 | He asked me whether I had walked out in the morning? |
6042 | He assured me he was quite well-- as well as he had ever been in his life; and then inquired how I did, and how I went on? |
6042 | He comes upon his defence; ought he to look as if he gave himself up?" |
6042 | He did; adding,"Do you not like to sit here, where you can look down upon the several combatants before the battle?" |
6042 | He shrugged his shoulders, and walked away; and Mr. Smelt, smiling, said,"Will you give us any?" |
6042 | He stared a little, but I added with pretended dryness,"Do any of you that live down there in that prosecutor''s den ever sleep in your beds? |
6042 | He started, and cried with precipitancy,"Do you mean me?" |
6042 | He then asked me if I had heard Mr. Grey?" |
6042 | He then said,"Have you done with my little book?" |
6042 | He wanted to hear more particulars: I fancy the Willises had vaguely related some:"Did he not,"he cried,"promise to do something for you?" |
6042 | Heavens!--did they ever, unsummoned, quit it? |
6042 | Her majesty inquired of me if I had ever met with- Lady Hawke? |
6042 | Her majesty was much surprised to hear he was again out so unexpectedly, and asked if he thought of going to Gloucester? |
6042 | His face?" |
6042 | Hogentot?" |
6042 | How could this man be a soldier? |
6042 | How d''ye do?" |
6042 | How is that; have you it, as you Ought, at your own disposal?" |
6042 | How should he know anything Of the matter? |
6042 | How will you have it sold, Sir? |
6042 | I asked another good woman, who came in for some flour, if she had been of the party? |
6042 | I asked him if he thought a life of uselessness and of goodness the same thing? |
6042 | I asked if he could yet let them have beds to stay, or horses to proceed? |
6042 | I asked if she did not stay tea? |
6042 | I begged him to follow, and we were proceeding to the dressing- room, when I was stopped by a gentleman, who said,"Does the queen want anybody?" |
6042 | I both believed and applauded him so far; but why) Page 59 are either of them engaged in a prosecution so uncoloured by necessity? |
6042 | I could hardly stand this, and, to turn it off'', asked him if Mr. Hastings was to make his own defence? |
6042 | I could not help saying rather faintly,"Has he?" |
6042 | I courtsied, and wondered more, and then a surprised voice exclaimed,"Do n''t you know me?" |
6042 | I entreated to know why such a change? |
6042 | I heard it, however, again,--and the queen called out,"What is that?" |
6042 | I hope you are quite well now?" |
6042 | I inquired how it was all to end-- whether this reading was to continue incessantly, or any speaking was to follow it? |
6042 | I inquired if he pursued his musical studies, so happily begun with Colonel Wellbred? |
6042 | I inquired of Miss Herschel if she was still comet- hunting, or content now with the moon? |
6042 | I inquired of her if she had seen the royal family when they visited Devonshire? |
6042 | I ran off to another scene, and inquired how he had been amused abroad, and, in particular, at the National Assembly? |
6042 | I then mentioned how kindly he had taken his visit to him at Lichfield during a severe illness,"And he left you,"I said,"a book?" |
6042 | I ventured then to ask if yet I had been named? |
6042 | I was in my inner room, and called out,"Who''s there?" |
6042 | I was not quite prepared for the interrogatory, and feared she might next inquire when and where I had seen him? |
6042 | I was the other day at a place to see Stuart''s Athenian architecture, and whom do you think I met in the room?" |
6042 | Is it so? |
6042 | Is not this a charming trait of provincial popularity? |
6042 | Is not this a fit bishop''s wife? |
6042 | Is that a form of law?" |
6042 | Is this explicit? |
6042 | July 2.-What a stare was drawn from our new equerry(238) by Major Price''s gravely asking Mrs. Schwellenberg, after the health of her frogs? |
6042 | Let her tell her own story, and how will it harm us?" |
6042 | MAY"ONE"COME IN? |
6042 | Mademoiselle votre fille n''a- t- elle point de vacance? |
6042 | May I not justly call it so, different as it is to all the mode of life I have hitherto lived here, or alas I am in a way to live henceforward? |
6042 | Might one not think he was bred in the cloisters? |
6042 | Mr. Bunbury laughed, but declared he would not take the hint:"What,"cried he,"if I lose the beginning? |
6042 | Mr. Windham; would you wish me in future to take to nothing but lions? |
6042 | Mrs. Crewe hastily and alarmed interrupted him, to inquire what he meant, and what might ensue to Mr. Crewe? |
6042 | Must she not, in company as in dancing, take up with those Who choose to take up with her?" |
6042 | My dear ma''am, why do you stay?--it wo n''t do, ma''am! |
6042 | My dearest friends,- I have her majesty''s commands to inquire-- whether you have any of a certain breed of poultry? |
6042 | Need I more strongly than this mark the very rare pleasure I received from his conversation? |
6042 | O, who could succeed there? |
6042 | Page 18"But what can he say, ma''am? |
6042 | Page 254"Know what?" |
6042 | Page 28"Not till you have answered that question, ma''am''what country has plays to your royal highness''s taste?" |
6042 | Page 341 I found, however, they had already met, probably in the passage, for the queen added,"How melancholy he looks, does not he, princess royal?" |
6042 | Page 41"But how did I do it, Wellbred; for I never tried at it before?" |
6042 | Page 440"But do you not think Mr. Law spoke well?" |
6042 | Page 467"Pray, sir,"cried she,"what''s o''clock?" |
6042 | Page 58"Nay,"cried I,"could I well be quicker? |
6042 | Page 70"For what, then,"cried a stern voice behind me,"for What go you upstairs at all, when you do n''t drink coffee? |
6042 | Pray does he know any Of your secrets? |
6042 | Pray, have you all drunk his majesty''s health?" |
6042 | Shall I bring him to the Lodge to see you?" |
6042 | Shall I tell the colonel- to bring one?" |
6042 | She asked if he should not return to Brighthelmstone? |
6042 | She asked me a thousand questions of what I thought about Miss Fuzilier? |
6042 | She asked me, somewhat curiously, if I had seen any of my old friends? |
6042 | She called to her aid her religion, and without it what, indeed, must have become of her? |
6042 | She inquired of me if my father was still writing? |
6042 | She leaned her head forward, and in a most soft manner, said,"Miss Burney, how are you?" |
6042 | She soon inquired what answer had arrived from Mr. Francis? |
6042 | She spoke at once, and with infinite softness, asking me how I did after my journey? |
6042 | Shepherd?" |
6042 | Should I drive him from me, what would pay me, and how had he deserved it? |
6042 | Some time after he suddenly exclaimed,"Have you-- tell me-- have you, ma''am, never done what you repent?" |
6042 | Soon after, a voice just by my side, from the green benches, said,"Will Miss Burney allow me to renew my acquaintance with her?" |
6042 | That''s your calculation, is it?" |
6042 | The king asked me what had been doing at Westminster Hall? |
6042 | The moment I joined them, Mrs. Schwellenberg called out,--"Pray, Miss Berner, for what visit you the gentlemen?" |
6042 | Then he said he would not, and cried''Who are you?'' |
6042 | Then turning gaily to Mr. de Luc,"And you, Mr. de Luc,"he cried,"are not you, too, very glad to see Miss Beurni again?" |
6042 | Then, turning to me,"What am I to say, ma''am? |
6042 | There''s no such thing as pretending to measure, at such a distance as that?" |
6042 | They all exclaimed,"Is he here?" |
6042 | This morning, when I received my intelligence of the king from Dr. John Willis, I begged to know where I might walk in safety? |
6042 | Thither I went, and we embraced very cordially; but she a little made me stare by saying,"Do you sleep in your old bed?" |
6042 | Till you spoke could I know if you heeded it?" |
6042 | True, she must die at last, but who must not? |
6042 | Tuesday, June 19.-We were scarcely all arranged at tea when Colonel Manners eagerly said,"Pray, Mrs. Schwellenberg, have you lost anything?" |
6042 | Upon my vord!--how come you to do dat, sir? |
6042 | Was it not a curious scene? |
6042 | Was it not a most singular scene? |
6042 | Was it not a strange business? |
6042 | Was not all the world before him? |
6042 | Was not this agreeable? |
6042 | We all began race talk, but Mr. Turbulent, approaching very significantly, said,"Do you want a chair On the other side, ma''am? |
6042 | We all looked round;--but Colonel Goldsworthy broke forth aloud--"Civil, quotha?" |
6042 | We talked all these matters over more at length, till I was called away by an"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?" |
6042 | We then came back again to books, and he asked us if we had read a little poem called the"Shipwreck"? |
6042 | What are you all so slow for? |
6042 | What could I do? |
6042 | What is the news?" |
6042 | What say you to Mr. Turbulent now? |
6042 | What say you to now? |
6042 | What say you, then,"cried he,"to Pitt?" |
6042 | What was that for me?" |
6042 | What was the skeleton? |
6042 | What will you give me, fair ladies, for a copy of verse, written between the Queen of Great Britain and your most small little journalist? |
6042 | What, when it had my name upon it? |
6042 | When he had done he looked earnestly for my answer, but finding I made none, he said, with some concern,"You wo n''t think any more of it?" |
6042 | When he had written a few lines, he asked if I was very busy, or could help him? |
6042 | When she was gone, he took up the book, and said,"Shall I read some passages to you? |
6042 | When they retired, Mrs. Schwellenberg exclaimed,"For what not stay one night? |
6042 | When they were within a few yards of me, the king called out,"Why did you run away?" |
6042 | Where are all my rascals gone? |
6042 | While we were examining the noble pillars in the new room, I heard an exclamation of"Est- ce possible? |
6042 | Who could tell to what height the delirium might rise? |
6042 | Who has liberty, le peuple, or the mob? |
6042 | Who was so captivated as myself by that extraordinary man, till he would no longer suffer me to reverence the talents I must still ever admire? |
6042 | Who, after that, can repine at any inconvenience here for the household? |
6042 | Why Page 112 do you not ask me when I was at the play? |
6042 | Why are you so cruel to all around-- to them and their readers?" |
6042 | Why do n''t YOU give champagne to poor Stanhope?" |
6042 | Why should he contribute his humble mite to your triumphs? |
6042 | Why, then, how came you to receive the news about his death?" |
6042 | Will you hear a criticism, if nothing of another sort?" |
6042 | Will you tell me, once?" |
6042 | Would you know what my title is derived from? |
6042 | Yet how, at such a time, prevail by persuasion? |
6042 | Yet nothing I could say put a stop to"How can you defend her in this?--how can you justify her in that?"" |
6042 | Yet, not having power to be very amusing after all this, I was sternly asked by Mrs. Schwellenberg,"For what I did not talk?" |
6042 | You did not treat Colonel Goldsworthy so?" |
6042 | You fix, then, upon''La Coquette?'' |
6042 | You know what Johnson said to Boswell of preserving fame?" |
6042 | You know what it is to skate a man down?" |
6042 | You may suppose I had inquiries enough, from all around, of"Who was the gentleman I was talking to at the rails? |
6042 | You might bear it when you like it? |
6042 | am I to tell Colonel Wellbred you hesitate?" |
6042 | and are you not merely swayed by party? |
6042 | and have I not a curious fellow traveller for my little journeys? |
6042 | and how I liked the last opera?" |
6042 | and where did you find that?" |
6042 | and whether I was more comfortable? |
6042 | and which way could it be worth while? |
6042 | are they to suppose it requires deliberation whether or not you can admit a gentleman to your tea- table?" |
6042 | are you stout? |
6042 | as he held the door in his hand,"Will there be any-- impropriety-- in my staying here a little logger?" |
6042 | bin you Much amused? |
6042 | can that face ever obtain an expression that is pleasing?" |
6042 | can you go through such scenes as these? |
6042 | cried I, amazed and provoked;"when did I do what could never be done?" |
6042 | cried I, as I entered it--"is this little room for your majesty?" |
6042 | cried I;"do you ever sleep?" |
6042 | cried he earnestly;"personally, do you know him?" |
6042 | cried he, emphatically;"shall I be moved by a lion? |
6042 | cried he, good- humouredly;"what need you care? |
6042 | cried he,"clear, forcible?" |
6042 | cried she, seriously; and then he made way, with a profound bow as she passed, saying,"Very well, ma''am,''La Coquette,''then? |
6042 | cried she, somewhat deridingly:"know you not you might sleep here?" |
6042 | cried they;"what part of the palace?" |
6042 | cried- he, starting back"what am I to say that you denounce such a forfeit beforehand?" |
6042 | d''ye hear? |
6042 | did you observe him? |
6042 | est- ce l`a la libert`e?" |
6042 | exclaimed I,"the judges!--is it possible you can enter into such a notion as to suppose Mr. Hastings capable of bribing them?" |
6042 | have you forgot Spotty?" |
6042 | have you forgot her?" |
6042 | have you the wardrobe to part? |
6042 | have you-- you tired? |
6042 | he repeated, in a tone that seemed to say-- do you not mean Mr. Burke? |
6042 | he repeated,"what do you mean?" |
6042 | how have you been entertained?" |
6042 | is it you?" |
6042 | is not here primitive candour and veracity? |
6042 | is she alone?" |
6042 | not a little?--not a little bit better?" |
6042 | not the other day?" |
6042 | nothing but that poor thing at Chelsea? |
6042 | only You two?" |
6042 | or have they any wish to enlarge their range of visit? |
6042 | or what would he have called us? |
6042 | run and see, do you hear?" |
6042 | said Mr. Burke, dryly;"why not this coalition as well as other coalitions?" |
6042 | shall I call him up? |
6042 | she cried;"are you not a little better?" |
6042 | sleeps he with you the same?" |
6042 | that is reelly comeecal?" |
6042 | thought I, and do you really believe all this? |
6042 | went to Lady Charlotte?" |
6042 | what and who are we for such resistance? |
6042 | what are you all about? |
6042 | what have you to do but to be happy: Page 216--have you the laces to buy? |
6042 | what say you to that, Miss Planta? |
6042 | when have you seen him?" |
6042 | when is he to be married?" |
6042 | when it might be some innocent person? |
6042 | when you knew it was mine, sir? |
6042 | where''s Miss Burney?"'' |
6042 | who can see him sit there unmoved? |
6042 | why do n''t you see for my rascals?" |
6042 | why should not you have your share? |
6042 | why, where is my carriage? |
6042 | you think him so, do you?" |
6042 | your royal highness chooses''La Coquette corrigà © e?''" |
