12260Pay them for it?
12260Responsibility?
12260Rollo?
12260The pond road is a little the nearest, is n''t it?
12260Then what shall you do?
12260We do n''t want any name, do we?
12260Well, Oliver,said he,--"tired of the mill already?"
12260Well, do you want me to go?
12260Well, my boy,replied the man,"and what about my dog?"

12260What''s this?
12260What, ai n''t you going to have but one writing- book?
12260What, if I did n''t play any more than Oliver?
12260Where are you ciphering?
12260Where are you going?
12260Where did he go?
12260Where is he going?
12260Where is he?
12260Which way?
12260Who do you suppose it is?
12260Who is it?
12260Who shall I say has called?
12260Who would think,said Jonas,"that there could be any thing alive here?"
12260Whose dog is that?
12260Why did n''t you make your path wider?
12260Why do n''t you call him Ney?
12260Why does it spoil his children?
12260Why is it doubtful?
12260Why, Franco,said Jonas,"how came you here?"
12260Why, Franco,said Jonas,"how came you here?"
12260Why, Ney,said Mr. Edwards,--"poor Ney,--have you got back at last?
12260Why, do n''t you know Oliver?
12260Why, how was that?
12260Why? 12260 Why?"
12260Why?
12260Why?
12260Why?
12260Will you ask him to come to the door a minute?
12260Wo n''t it make good skating on the pond,asked Rollo,"if the water freezes now?"
12260Wo n''t you let him out?
12260You have got him?
12260Do n''t you remember the lesson that Franco taught us, that to return good for evil was good policy as well as good morals?"
12260Do n''t you want Amos to go with you?"
12260Have n''t you any more money with you?"
12260Have n''t you seen any thing of him?"
12260Have you got any school- books in the house, Isabella?"
12260How old is he?"
12260Jonas does know how to do things, does n''t he, Oliver?
12260Jonas patted him upon his head, saying,--"Why, Franco, how did you get out of the barn?
12260Jonas was telling us all about the icebergs the other evening; and I read a story, about a famous''Ice Palace''in Russia; how do you like that?"
12260Jonas, tell us how?"
12260Ney''s?"
12260Should you be disposed to buy him?"
12260We will go, and we shall find him there;--but when did you come from home?
12260Well, where does he live?--at your house?"
12260When Rollo had got so far in his story, Jonas interrupted him to ask,--"Were you on foot, Rollo?"
12260When did you find him?"
12260Where is he now?"
12260Where_ is_ Franco?"
12260Why could n''t he stay out in the storm to work, as well as we?"
12260Woodman?"
12260You feel cold, do n''t you?"
12260You have n''t called him Ney, have you?"
12260and how did you find out which way I came?"
12260and how did you find where I was?"
12260said Jonas,"how could you get here?"
12260said Jonas;"giving them as much injury and pain as they have given you?
12260said Oliver;"is that a very bad place?"
12260said Oliver;"wo n''t their fathers give them any money?"
12260said Rollo,"who is Oliver?"
44774A motto, do you mean?
44774And do you believe He thought I was dreadful?
44774And now what will you do with the poor little duckling?
44774And what is your watchword?
44774Anybody else want a little tossing about?
44774Are n''t you going to let Mamie see him?
44774But how did the pussy get out from the barrel?
44774But where did the duckling come from? 44774 Den He not tate tare of Mamie and Lulu?"
44774Did Mrs. Clark lend it to you?
44774Did n''t she give it to you?
44774Did you offer the_ most_, mamma?
44774Did you think you were going to be drowned?
44774Did you, though?
44774Do n''t you want it yourself?
44774Do what?
44774Does He say Lulu naughty dirl if she tuts''em?
44774Does he wiggle much?
44774Does she think that light- house man would not have brought us home if you had not come to his light- house?
44774He looks kind of flabby and sick; do n''t you think he does?
44774He sees us and hears us now, just this very minute; do n''t He?
44774How do you know I am good now, or that I have improved any since I was a child?
44774How so?
44774How will he get white, I wonder?
44774If He did not see us always, and take care of us, what would become of us? 44774 Is it an inconvenience to you now?"
44774Is mamma tomin''pitty soon now?
44774Is n''t she lovely?
44774Is that all, ma''am?
44774Is that the reason?
44774Lily, I suppose conscience is a kind of''Thou God seest me''feeling; do n''t you?
44774Lily,said Belle at last,"what are you doing?"
44774Lily?
44774Maggie?
44774Mamie, are you for the boat?
44774Mamie,said Tom,"did not your mother forbid you to come upon the breakwater?"
44774No, what is it?
44774Now, what shall we do?
44774Papa, I''d like to go; could I?
44774Papa, is there a letter for me? 44774 Papa,"she said at last,"when people take a text or any thing to remember by, what do they call it?"
44774Pease, Mamie, do out dere on de plant- walt;and what did Mamie do?
44774Shall we let one of the women toss it away in the waves?
44774Temptation of what?
44774That is a kind, unselfish little girl,said Mr. Stone;"but are you sure you like that cake quite as well, my dear?"
44774The hm-- hm,repeated Lily, no ways abashed, and persisting in the ambiguous form of expression;"you know that verse, do n''t you?"
44774The who?
44774They''ve gone to Newport, have n''t they?
44774To remember what by, daughter?
44774Was he this way when you found him?
44774Were n''t we good that day, Belle?
44774Were we not good about the doll?
44774What day?
44774What did you think about, Mamie?
44774What does that mean?
44774What have you done to him, Mabel?
44774What is it?
44774What is it?
44774What is the breakwater?
44774What is the trouble? 44774 What will mamma say?
44774What''s the matter?
44774Where are Dod?
44774Where are you going, Belle?
44774Where we doin'', Mamie?
44774Who are you with?
44774Who were not up all night?
44774Why not?
44774Why,_ that_ day; the fair day,answered Mamie;"were we not good?"
44774Would n''t that be a shocking occurrence?
44774Would n''t you dare to ask her?
44774Would you like,said the lady,"that I should tell you a thing which happened to me when I was a little girl?"
44774Would you mind telling us about it?
44774Yes,said her father, becoming grave;"but how is it when a little girl wears a scowling brow and puckered lips at her papa?
44774You come too, papa; you come too, and take me; will you?
44774You''ve been here the longest; would you mind asking Mrs. Clark to lend us one of the ducklings to take down to the Rocks this afternoon?
44774Afterwards Mamie had said to her,--"Bessie, how can you keep from crying when you are frightened in a thunder- storm?"
44774And meanwhile what was Lulu doing?
44774And you know she ought not to talk so about her mother, even if she is-- Lily, do you think Mrs. Stone is a very wise mamma to Mamie?"
44774Belle, when that old black man gets to heaven, wo n''t he make a queer, awfully ugly old angel?"
44774But I think mamma might have let me go, do n''t you?"
44774But should she ever have the chance?
44774But why do you want one about a breakwater?"
44774Buy it for me, buy it; will you, mamma?"
44774Can I be of any help here?"
44774Can I, mamma?
44774Change with her; will you not, Mamie?"
44774Clark?"
44774Could n''t you show us the way home?"
44774Do n''t you know what I mean?"
44774Do n''t you think that would do?"
44774Do n''t you want me to give you some pretty shells?"
44774Do n''t you, Mamie?"
44774Do you want to come?"
44774Does it not seem very strange?"
44774For whom else could Grandmamma Howard want it?
44774How can I take you out?"
44774How did it come, my dear?"
44774How did you go there, and how am I going to take you out?"
44774How do you think she feels?"
44774How was it meanwhile with those poor little waifs?
44774How was she to take the child over those ruined, uneven stones?
44774I''d like to have one in my hands; can I, Tom?"
44774Is that because a hen set on them?"
44774Is that you?"
44774Is that you?"
44774Is there any thing I could do for you, sir?"
44774Lily, do you know of one about a breakwater?"
44774Mamie turned upon her angrily, with the words,"What business is it of yours?"
44774Mamie, what do you think about it?
44774Mr. Norris, did n''t any letter come for me?"
44774Powers, could n''t Belle come with me to see our Lulu?"
44774Presently she added:"Belle, do you suppose God noticed just now when I would n''t give Lulu the cake?"
44774Shall we go to the beach?"
44774She did not understand: how could she?
44774Should she go and ask Mrs. Clark?
44774Stone?"
44774Stone?"
44774The other children are going, and why ca n''t I, with you to take care of me?"
44774Was it Mamie herself, or innocent little Lulu, on whom the blame justly rested?
44774Was it possible it was the same?
44774Was it yours?"
44774Was there no Ear to hear?
44774Was there no Eye to see?
44774Was there no Hand to save?
44774Was there no one to see?
44774We are ready to go;"and Nanette''s voice,"Ou êtes- vous donc, Mademoiselle?"
44774We''ll wait till they come, sha n''t we?"
44774What are you about there?
44774What should they do when the darkness came, and the last faint, lingering hope that some one would yet see them should be gone?
44774What was to become of them, herself and Lulu?
44774What will become of us?"
44774What would mamma do when she missed her little girls, and knew not where to look?
44774What''s that now?"
44774Where are you, Mabel?
44774Where was her little sister?
44774Who dreamed of all the truth?
44774Who were these people, and where were they taking her?
44774Whose the Eye which watched them on their perilous way?
44774Whose was the Ear which bent to hear those piteous tones?
44774Why can not you amuse yourselves on the beach?"
44774Why do n''t you go and ask for money to buy them?"
44774Why do n''t you pick up stones?"
44774Why was it that no one looked out at that time over the dancing waters, and discovered what terrible plaything they had seized upon?
44774Wo n''t he be glad?"
44774Wo n''t my wife be in a takin''though?
44774Wo n''t we have nice times?"
44774Would she ever know what had become of them?
44774Would she never know her, never speak to her again, never tell her she forgave all her disobedient, naughty ways, all her disrespect and pettishness?
44774Would they be found all dead and drowned?
44774Would they toss gently about in this way till they died of hunger, or would great fishes come and eat them up?
44774You know it did n''t look much like it this morning when you spoke so to your mother; but are you, really now?"
44774You''ll be coming from the pier, I reckon?"
44774and I s''pose you want to take pattern by Maggie and Bessie, and help her, do you?"
44774and Ma-- bel?"
44774and Ma-- bel?"
44774can I have it?
44774do you know what time it is?
44774no one to hear?
44774said Lily,"did you ever see any thing so cunning?
44774said Mabel;"do n''t you think I ought to give it back to Mrs. Clark, even if it is dead?
44774said Mamie piteously,"can you talk a language?
44774she exclaimed,"what are you thinking of so solemnly?
44774was her tender, indulgent mother going to leave her?
44774what shall I do?
44774why did you not come before, when you had to come?"
19889A bird, Frank?
19889A visitor, miss? 19889 An epee-- what, Frank?"
19889An epitaph, you little simple Indian; do you not know what that means?
19889And do n''t our donkeys look funny little gray fellows, away down there on the road?
19889And now, children, when are we to have our first ride?
19889And what about the lesson? 19889 And what will you do when you grow up, Bunny?
19889Are there many nice walks about?
19889Are you getting a squint, then?
19889Are you the Frank she used to talk to me about?
19889Aunt, may we run up to Miss Kerr''s room?
19889Bunny, Bunny, where are you, I say?--where are you?
19889But really, Mervyn, I think it''s lovely-- it''s so-- Oh, dear what is that?
19889But she''s jolly kind to us sometimes,said Mervyn stoutly;"and we torment her dreadfully, do n''t we, Bunny?"
19889But what are you going to do with the thrush, Frank?
19889But where is Frank? 19889 But who is that coming down the road towards us?
19889But wo n''t it be nice, mama? 19889 But, Bunny, dear,"said Miss Kerr,"you would not like poor mama to have no one to read to her, would you?
19889But, my dear child, do you not know that that was extremely naughty conduct?
19889Ca n''t we see them from here?
19889Dear Miss Kerr, why should you feel sorry for Mervyn? 19889 Did she tell him that?"
19889Did you manage to put salt on his tail?
19889Do n''t you, Mervyn?
19889Do they send the fireworks up from the Spa?
19889Do you live anywhere about here?
19889Do you, John?
19889Do you?
19889Has she?
19889However could she do it?
19889I can walk splendidly; ca n''t I, Miss Kerr?
19889I hope you will be able to eat a good supply, Bunny?
19889I mean short walks within easy distance, where these little folks could go, for instance?
19889I suppose you feel as fresh as a couple of daisies, and not at all shaken?
19889I think it would be worth climbing ever so much higher to see such a sight, do n''t you?
19889If you please, sir, will you give me a bit of bread, for I am very hungry?
19889Is it really? 19889 Is it?"
19889Is n''t it nice, Mervyn? 19889 Is that so really, you poor mite?
19889Is your father a captain? 19889 It is certainly very lucky that your cousin is not black, for it would never do to scream at him, would it?"
19889Mervyn, will you walk with me? 19889 Miss Bunny, dear, what brings you here at such an hour?
19889Miss Bunny, how can you derange the beautiful roses?
19889My dear Bunny, how do you think Mervyn can learn his lessons if you scream yours out in that way?
19889Now, Mervyn, I hope you know what an epitaph is?
19889Oh then, it has just dropped into it,cried Mervyn;"could n''t we go and see?"
19889Oh, Frisk, Frisk, why did you bite? 19889 Oh, I''d just love to see him-- but is he black?
19889Oh, papa, I heard such a funny noise just now,cried Bunny suddenly,"what can it be?
19889Oh, please, sir, is there going to be an accident?
19889Oh, what will Miss Kerr say? 19889 Oh, why was I so cross about my hair?"
19889Papa, papa,she cried, as Mr. Dashwood entered the room with his wife upon his arm,"does n''t Frank make lovely tunes?"
19889She is n''t a baby, and she is n''t ill, so why should she be asleep at this time of the day?
19889That is the lift, Mervyn; does n''t it look very funny hanging all down like that? 19889 That would be fine fun, would n''t it, Bunny?"
19889There, do you hear that?
19889Very well, then, I suppose we had better set off at once,said Mr. Dashwood;"you have no objection to my taking these small people, Miss Kerr?"
19889Was n''t it a capital plan of papa''s, Mervyn, to get us these donkeys?
19889Well, if I am good, will you read us a story after we have said our lessons?
19889Well, in India people sleep in the day when they''re not a bit ill, just because it''s hot-- so why should n''t they here?
19889What can I do?
19889What can we do to make him go on? 19889 What do you mean?"
19889What do you think? 19889 What is Mervyn not to do, my little woman?"
19889What is that you are saying, Mervyn? 19889 What is that, Bunny?
19889What is the matter?
19889What is wrong, Sophie?
19889What on earth made you do that?
19889Where are you staying?
19889Where is Mademoiselle Bunny? 19889 Where is your garden, monkey?"
19889Wherever has it gone to?
19889Who will write an epitaph to put at the head of his grave?
19889Why are you making such a dreadful noise?
19889Why are you scolding poor Bunny so much?
19889Why did you come after me and make me fall in that way? 19889 Why do n''t you go and play, Bunny?"
19889Why is it called Lady Edith''s Drive?
19889Why should you cry for him? 19889 Why would you send for him?"
19889Why, dear, why did you come out of the nursery before you were dressed?
19889Why, mama, what is all this about?
19889Why, papa, it''s Mr. Davis, that nice old gentleman who gave me the box of sweets; do n''t you remember? 19889 Will you-- give me a kiss?"
19889Would you? 19889 Yes, Frank, it does look pretty,"cried Mervyn;"and is n''t the sea a beautiful blue colour?"
19889Yes, I am Mervyn Hastings; and oh, did she miss me?
19889Yes, but do n''t you have to pay to go up in the lift?
19889Yes, of course he sits well; why should n''t he?
19889Yes; and does n''t the old part of the town, with its queer red brick houses and narrow streets, look pretty? 19889 Are n''t you glad I brought you?
19889Are they, Miss Kerr?"
19889Bunny, what is an epitaph?"
19889Bunny?"
19889But I am sure he wo n''t want to go when he hears that his papa is coming home for Christmas; eh, my boy?"
19889But I do n''t mind telling you, Mervyn, only you must not tell anyone, will you now?
19889But tell me, little man,"she said to Mervyn,"are you not glad to get out too?
19889But we will soon teach him, wo n''t we, dear?"
19889But where did you get him, Frank?"
19889But why do n''t you go off and get ready for dinner too, Mervyn?"
19889But would you like to see this Cousin Mervyn, do you think?"
19889Dashwood?"
19889Did you learn that?"
19889Do n''t you think he''ll be nice, Miss Kerr?"
19889Do n''t you think you would feel very much ashamed if you could not read when you had grown to be a tall lady?"
19889Do n''t you, Mervyn?"
19889Do they, now?
19889Does he only speak French then?"
19889Does n''t it all look lovely in the sunlight?"
19889Go and get a book-- or will you have a needle and thread and try to do some sewing?"
19889Has a visitor come to stay with us?"
19889Has n''t she got a pretty room?
19889Have you no money of your own to give the boy?"
19889Have you?"
19889How dare you come here with your wretched lies?"
19889How did this beggar come to run away?
19889How did you come to be so naughty?
19889How would you like if he were to spoil your toys or break your dolls for you?"
19889I am not so mean as that; I wouldn''t--""Mean-- is it mean?"
19889I can remember,"cried Bunny gaily;"I''ve got a splendid memory, have n''t I, Miss Kerr?"
19889Is he, papa?"
19889Is it then a wonder that I make a noise?"
19889Is n''t it splendid, Miss Bun, bun?"
19889Is n''t it?"
19889It will be nice to have a cousin, wo n''t it?
19889Jean, have you seen Meess Bunny anywhere about?"
19889May I be permitted to ask your name?"
19889Mervyn, what began it all?"
19889Miss Kerr, what did papa buy for him?
19889Miss Kerr, what shall we do?"
19889Miss Kerr,"she called,"are you there?"
19889Oh, I''d like to see his face; wo n''t he be horribly angry?"
19889Oh, dear, where are my boots, I wonder?
19889Oh, what will your mama say?
19889Shall I let him fly away again?"
19889Supposing the pony took it into his head to bolt-- what do you think would happen then?"
19889Surely you would not like Mervyn to beat you at his lessons, would you?"
19889Tell me, my dear, do you really like your pony?"
19889That is my plan; is n''t it a good one?"
19889WAS IT CRUEL?
19889WAS IT CRUEL?
19889We are all very sorry, are n''t we, John?"
19889What do you think, Miss Kerr, do they deserve a ride?"
19889What dreadful plot are you hatching over there?"
19889What is it yourself?"
19889What is that?"
19889What shall I do?
19889What shall I do?
19889What shall we do?
19889What shall we do?"
19889Where is she now, I wonder?"
19889Where is your nurse?"
19889Why do you always forget as you do?"
19889Why should you give her your money?"
19889Will he stay long, Miss Kerr?"
19889Wo n''t he?"
19889Would n''t it, Miss Kerr?"
19889Would n''t old Ashton wonder-- just when he thinks everything is nice for dinner?
19889Would n''t you like to ride without a leading rein?"
19889Would n''t you, Friskie?"
19889Would you mind going into that wonderful shop to see if you can get some?"
19889You would not ask me to leave her, would you?"
19889You''re a horrid--""Who''s going to be tell- tale now?"
19889and does n''t the sea and the bridge look nice from the window?"
19889and is he in India now?"
19889are we not going home on our donkeys?"
19889cried Bunny in a miserable voice,"what shall we do?
19889cried Mr. Dashwood,"why, the fireworks do n''t go off until nine, and your bedtime is at half- past seven, is n''t it?"
19889cried the groom;"what on earth will my master say to me?
19889exclaimed Mervyn in surprise,"and what would Sophie say?"
19889exclaimed Miss Kerr,"who can have shut the window?"
19889is it that monsieur your papa knows how far it is?
19889just look at that, is n''t it exquisite?"
19889said Bunny;"there are no trees here, and where can its nest be?"
19889she cried, bursting into tears;"if we ca n''t open the door what shall we do?"
19889she screamed as soon as they were inside the door,"what is that I see on your dress, mademoiselle?
19889there goes a splendid rocket,"cried Mervyn,"and does n''t it make a lovely noise?"
19889to go out in the night air and into the crowd?"
19889what are you doing?"
19889what is it?
19889what is it?"
19889what shall I do?"
19889what will Sophie say?"
19889where is your plan?"
19889why did papa leave us?
19889why do n''t you try and remember?"
19889young Indian, are you going to find fault with my pronunciation?
18153And could n''t find a time- piece about the premises?
18153And how long before I can sing, and practice my music- lessons, mother?
18153And how long before Oscar can go out and play?
18153And how old are you?
18153And no wonder,she added, on glancing at his feet;"why, do you see how wet the bottoms of your pantaloons are?
18153And what is this boy''s name?
18153And why did n''t ye come when the supper was ready, if ye wanted any?
18153Are you aware that he is getting into bad company?
18153Are you ready to recite your geography lesson?
18153Aunt Eliza, do you know where Jerry is?
18153But can he write as well as that?
18153But did not a part of the blame belong to the man who made the mistake?
18153But do n''t you know what they are for, Alice?
18153But how are the air- holes made?
18153But what if the man was very rich, and would never feel the loss, while the boy was poor, and needed the money?
18153But what is the speculation you were telling about?
18153But who told you about it?
18153But you do n''t call me disobedient, do you, grandma''am?
18153Ca n''t you tell him who you are?
18153Come here, dear, what is the matter?
18153Did n''t I tell you to go to bed an hour ago, Oscar?
18153Did n''t have time?
18153Did you ever get frightened by the Indians, grandmother?
18153Did you hear me, Emily?
18153Did you say you have a cousin Willie in Boston, Clinton?
18153Did you see any babies there?
18153Did you write anything about me?
18153Did your father know you went off with them in the forenoon?
18153Do you have many boys to play with?
18153Do you know his sister, Ettie?
18153Do you know what my name is, Sissy?
18153Do you mean false stories?
18153Do you suppose there''s one in that hole?
18153Father,said Jerry,"I and Oscar--""I and Oscar-- where did you learn your manners?"
18153Get out of it?--who wants to get out of it?
18153Going off-- what do you mean? 18153 Hallo, who is this?"
18153Halloo, Whistler, that is n''t your cap, is it?
18153Have you written your letter?
18153How are all the folks at home?
18153How can you know if you never tried it?
18153How long has the old fellow been dead?
18153How much further have we got to go?
18153How old be you?
18153I did n''t think of that,said Oscar;"I wonder if it is too late to pay it now?
18153I do n''t know-- why, have you got one for me?
18153I do n''t know; was it a moose?
18153I do n''t, for one-- we shall have a first- rate sail down into the harbor; sha n''t we, Alf?
18153I have n''t got any-- have you, Oscar?
18153I know him-- he''s about your size, is n''t he? 18153 I say, Biddy,"continued the boy,"what did you have for supper?
18153I should like to know how we are going to get out of this scrape?
18153I should like to know where all these caterpillars come from,said Oscar;"do they come up from the ground?"
18153I should like to see a woodchuck,said Oscar;"what do they look like?"
18153I thought they told great stories,said Oscar;"but what have you found out about them?"
18153I told you to sweep this room out,said he, as Oscar made his appearance;"did you forget it?"
18153I wonder what he lived here for; does anybody know?
18153I''ve written my letter, uncle, and it''s all ready to go to the post- office,said Oscar;"ca n''t Jerry and I carry it over?"
18153If I get into the High School next summer, may I have the watch?
18153If you''ve got a lesson to learn, where is your book?
18153Is that the reason, because there are so many brooks? 18153 Is that the way your mother teaches you to answer questions, Ella?"
18153Is there any guilt in neglecting to do this?
18153Is there anything besides birds?
18153It''s real hot; what do you say about going into water?
18153It''s too small for me,he said;"why ca n''t you keep it for Ralph?"
18153Jerry, have the hens been attended to?
18153Mulching-- what is that?
18153No ma''am,said Oscar;"I''ve read about General Burgoyne''s retreat; but I never heard of Widow Storey before: who was she?"
18153No, they ai nt silly, either, are they cousin Oscar?
18153No,--has he, though?
18153Now I want to ask you if you think I can honestly say that of you?
18153Now I''m ready to start, just as soon as I''ve had a drink of buttermilk,said Jerry to Oscar;"come into the buttery and get some, wo n''t you?"
18153Now tell me what your name is?
18153O, you''ve forgotten it a''ready, have you?
18153Oscar what?
18153Oscar, you have n''t written home since you came down here, have you?
18153Oscar,he said,"what do you find so very fascinating about that blackboard?
18153Oscar,he said,"why did you not shovel the snow from the sidewalk, as I told you to, yesterday morning?"
18153Oscar,said Mr. Preston,"next week is vacation, is it not?"
18153Perhaps he''s about here now-- who knows?
18153Pooh, was that all?
18153School- time? 18153 Shet up, did ye say?
18153Should you not expect him to make full restitution?
18153Stealing? 18153 Taken in-- what do you mean?"
18153That was a pretty narrow escape, was n''t it?
18153That''s a specimen of_ your_ pluck, ai nt it?
18153That''s first- rate,said Oscar;"and you''ll give me one, wo n''t you?"
18153Then tell me what you wrote, wo n''t you?
18153Then you''re Clinton''s sister, are you?
18153There was another story Uncle James used to tell, about the naming of Barre, in Vermont; do you recollect it, mother?
18153There, do you believe me now?
18153There, now, does n''t that look better?
18153They ai nt''pays,''they are_ peas_,replied Oscar;"ca n''t you say peas, Biddy?"
18153Was that false?
18153Well, I know who told you about it--''t was Bill Davenport, was n''t it?
18153Well, what are you going to do about it?
18153Well, what is it?
18153Well,said the doctor, turning to Mrs. Preston, when Oscar got through,"what does all this mean?"
18153What are they?
18153What are you afraid of?
18153What do they do with watches?
18153What do you mean?
18153What do you suppose it was?
18153What is it, then, that you have been spitting upon the floor?
18153What is that?
18153What is the use?
18153What is your name, sir?
18153What sort of babies-- live ones, or rag ones, or wax ones?
18153What would you do if a policeman should nab you?
18153What would you give for a letter from home?
18153What''s the use? 18153 What?"
18153Where did it hurt you, dear?--there? 18153 Where did you put the pie, Biddy?"
18153Where do you suppose he came from?
18153Where is it? 18153 Which number do you mean?"
18153Who did that?
18153Who do you suppose wrote it?
18153Who ought to know best about that, you or I?
18153Who''s bothering you?
18153Who, Oscar? 18153 Why ca n''t Henry do the errands while Frank is away?"
18153Why ca n''t you write to mother, aunt, and tell her how I am?
18153Why have n''t you obeyed me, then?
18153Why, what do you suppose he would have done?
18153Why, what does anybody do with them? 18153 Why, what is the matter with George?"
18153Why, what''s the matter now?
18153Why, you silly child, what business is it to you what he wrote?
18153Why,he exclaimed, as he stood before the chamber window,"there is a pond away off there, is n''t there?
18153Yes, but that is n''t all of it,replied Oscar;"do n''t you know the other part of it-- Cousin Oscar----what?"
18153Yes, that''s him-- why, I want to know if you know him?
18153Yes, what is it?
18153You admit, then, that you_ can_ keep these conditions,continued his father;"the question now is,_ will_ you do it?"
18153You did n''t know father had given all the pups but one to me, did you, Oscar?
18153You do n''t remember seeing anything of a blackboard this afternoon, do you?
18153You have a son fourteen or fifteen years old?
18153You have?
18153You know all those small apple and pear trees back of the barn? 18153 You looked well beating little Willie Davenport, do n''t you think you did?"
18153You would like to know how they served naughty boys, would n''t you?
18153You would n''t, though, would you?
18153You''ll be back again after dinner, Oscar?
18153You_ believe_ it was, do you? 18153 And as you will not let us go out to scratch for ourselves, what is the reason that you can not dig us a few worms occasionally? 18153 And how of borrowing articles, and neglecting to return them,--is that honest?
18153And now I have one more question to ask you: After you have discovered how your comrade has imposed upon you, what should you expect of him?"
18153At length he said:"Do you know what kind of a certificate is required?"
18153At length, when he thought they could not be far from their journey''s end, he inquired:"Where is the village, uncle John?
18153But I suppose you have to work some-- don''t you?"
18153But are you_ sure_ that the number of buildings burnt was either three hundred and fifty, or five hundred and thirty?"
18153But suppose, instead of the mistake being to the amount of ten dollars, it had only been a few cents,--how then?"
18153But where were you this morning, that you did not know when it was school- time?"
18153But why does n''t your school keep more than three months?"
18153Can you do that, if you try?"
18153Come, Alf and Oscar, wo n''t you get over?"
18153Come, do you hear me?
18153Come, jump in and go, wo n''t you?"
18153Come, mother, do let me get up, will you?"
18153Cousin Oscar Preston, from Boston,--that was what you meant to say, was n''t it?"
18153Did n''t you ever rob an orchard, Alf?
18153Do n''t you go to school?"
18153Do n''t you know enough, you great lubber, to take a boy of your own size, if you want to fight?
18153Do n''t you remember, you threw it at the cat to scare her?"
18153Do n''t you see how nicely he has smoothed his hair?"
18153Do n''t you think she is getting childish, Alice?"
18153Do you agree to that?"
18153Do you intend always to go on in this way?"
18153Do you know how they do it, Jerry?"
18153Do you remember the subject of your last Sabbath- school lesson?"
18153Do you suppose you should know it again, if you should happen to see it?"
18153Give me some, Georgie, wo n''t you?"
18153He at length inquired:"Are you mad with me?"
18153He might possibly hide his mis- spent forenoon from his parents, but how should he explain his absence to his teachers?
18153His mother did not notice this evasion of her question, but added:"Why do you want to be with Alfred so much?
18153How do you swallow a door?
18153How long will it be before we can make a real good noise, mother?"
18153I never saw a wild- cat; did you?"
18153I suppose you remember what he promised you, when you had your fight with Sam Oliver?"
18153I wonder how long I slept-- do you know, aunt?"
18153If you were in his place, and he in yours, do n''t you think you should like the arrangement your father proposes?"
18153If you were to tumble out of the window, what would you fall against?
18153In a year or two, when you are old enough to leave school, and go to a place, what do you suppose you will be good for, if you keep on in this way?
18153In that case, should you think he had acted honestly towards you?"
18153Is n''t that within your power?"
18153Is that in your power?"
18153Is there a spring about here?"
18153It did n''t hurt you, did it?"
18153Let me see--- where did I leave it, I wonder?"
18153Make him wear that out, mother, wo n''t you?"
18153Mr. Preston hesitated a moment, and then inquired:"Does your father allow you to use a gun at home?"
18153Now you''ll tell him what your name is, wo n''t you?"
18153On going home that night, Ralph accosted him with the inquiry:"What did you think of the blackboard, Oscar?
18153Oscar, why is it that I ca n''t stir out of the house, when you are at home, without your making trouble with Bridget or the children?
18153Ralph, what did you have for supper?"
18153Robert,"he added, addressing an other pupil,"how is it with regard to lost articles?"
18153Sha n''t we see any of it, going to your house?"
18153She at once introduced the topic which was uppermost in her mind, by the inquiry:"Oscar, what is the trouble between you and Willie Davenport?"
18153Should n''t you think it would?"
18153That was doing pretty well, was n''t it?"
18153The nests look something like tents, do n''t you see they do?"
18153The snow is sliding off the roofs, all around here;--have n''t you heard it, mother?"
18153Then stepping to the kitchen- window, he inquired,"Mother, was Clinton over here yesterday?"
18153Was it honest?"
18153What could Oscar say to this?
18153What do we all do when we first get into bed?
18153What has he done now?"
18153What is that which is lengthened by being cut at both ends?
18153What is that which is lower with a head than without one?
18153What is that which lives in winter, dies in summer, and grows with its root upwards?
18153What message do you want to send?"
18153What should you say of such a transaction?
18153What tune did he whistle?
18153When he was ready to start, he inquired:"Have you mailed your letter, and paid your postage, Oscar?"
18153When their preparations for dinner were about completed, Oscar inquired:"Where shall we find some water to drink?
18153Where is the bag?"
18153Where is this monstrous law of manliness to be found?
18153Who was the first whistler?
18153Why could n''t he borrow a gun of somebody else?
18153Why did you not do as I told you to?"
18153Why is swearing like an old coat?
18153Why is this like the Falls of Niagara?
18153Why need you torment your little sister so?"
18153You do n''t intend to go to school this afternoon, do you?"
18153You do n''t say you''re going to leave us so suddenly, Biddy?"
18153You do n''t want a light, do you, grandmother?"
18153You know what made him so selfish, do n''t you, grandmother?"
18153You omitted that this morning, did n''t you?"
18153You''ll go too, wo n''t you, Tom?"
18153You''re going to let me read it, ai nt you?"
18153and his father is a lawyer?"
18153do you hear me?"
18153exclaimed Andy,"why did n''t you tell me that before?
18153exclaimed Oscar;"what do you mean?
18153he exclaimed,"you do n''t call that sour stuff good, do you?"
18153inquired Oscar, who hardly knew whether this rough salutation was designed to be in fun or in earnest;"do n''t I look as well as usual?"
18153inquired Oscar;"are they things that I can do?"
18153said Oscar;"I''m going to hunt for that; what will you bet I wo n''t find it?"
18153said his father;"what do you tell me such a story as that for?
18153send us a boat, will you?
18153what are you doing to that little fellow?
18153you do n''t mean to drink pond water, do you?"
29295''I care for nobody, and nobody cares for me,''eh?
29295About Geoff''s umbrella?
29295Am I mistaken in thinking the good material is there?
29295Am I to understand you intend to prevent me seeing my mother, sir?
29295And about what, pray?
29295And are you going to Entlefield to- day?
29295And do n''t they provide boxing- gloves? 29295 And mother''s afraid of my skating, or boating on the river, or----""Does n''t she let you go in for the school games?"
29295And that will be-- how long? 29295 And what about his character?"
29295And what are you going to be about, Eames?
29295And who is to pay for my schooling?
29295And why should I be angry with Geoff?
29295And why should n''t I own such a place, pray?
29295And you say that he is really working hard, and-- and making the best of things?
29295And you''d have him laid up with rheumatics-- dying of a chill? 29295 And-- is his mother a widow, and in somewhat restricted circumstances?"
29295Are there woods about here?
29295Are they going to live here?
29295Are you going to sleep at the livery stables?
29295Are you the head of the house?
29295Are you thinking of running away?
29295Are you very tired to- night, mamma?
29295At your age?
29295Been working hard?
29295Boys of your age-- surely not?
29295But I could n''t be in two places at once, could I? 29295 But have you got sense enough, Geoff?"
29295Ca n''t he fetch a glass of water, or make himself useful in some way?
29295Can you make a pudding and a shirt, Elsa and Frances?
29295Did you ever see such beastly weather?
29295Did you find him easily, uncle? 29295 Do you know anything of gardening?"
29295Do you think I can easily find a place of some kind?
29295Do you want me to go for the doctor?
29295Dost think I''s to groom pony?
29295Elsa,he said sleepily,"what are you doing?
29295Go to bed?
29295Had n''t you your mackintosh on?
29295Has he been saying so to you?
29295Has he many lessons to do to- night? 29295 Have we lost everything?"
29295Have you a great many nephews and nieces besides us?
29295Have you met the master?
29295Have you seen her?
29295How do you do, my dear?
29295How far is it to your friend''s place?
29295How have you got on to- day, my boy?
29295How is it? 29295 How old may you be, sir?
29295How shall I wake?
29295How should I know she is busy and worried?
29295How was it? 29295 I am not even to be allowed to work for my mother, then?"
29295I say, Vic,he began,"is there any water on the sideboard?
29295I say,he said to his companion,"you''re not in any very desperate hurry to get off, are you?
29295If I think of some plan-- something that may really do him good, you''ll trust your poor old uncle, wo n''t you, my little Vic?
29295Is he like what you expected, Elsa?
29295Is he really_ heartless_?
29295Is n''t it like a dream? 29295 Is there anything I can do for you on my way through town?"
29295Is your mother always as pale as I have seen her?
29295Little Vic? 29295 MAYN''T I SPEAK TO YOU, MAMMA?"
29295MY DARLING GEOFF,Why have n''t you written to us?
29295Mamma, darling,said Frances,"do you really think it''s going to be very bad?"
29295Mamma,he said,"are you not well?
29295Mamma,he said,"will you once for all make Elsa and Frances understand that when I''m speaking to you they need n''t interfere?"
29295Must I not speak to you?
29295No grumbling from_ her_, eh?
29295No holidays, eh?
29295No lessons-- eh?
29295On Sundays, too?
29295Please,said Geoff, meekly,"might I have a piece of bread?
29295Shall I go to bed now, please, sir?
29295Shall I help you?
29295Shall I-- shall I stay with you, sir?
29295She does n''t know any more than we agreed upon?
29295Then you know-- you know all about this bad news?
29295Then you think, you hope, there may be something left to manage, do you?
29295They work you pretty hard, eh?
29295Uncle, dear uncle, is it you? 29295 Wake?
29295Was the house on fire?
29295Well, Geoff?
29295Well, do n''t you think it would be a very good thing if we could help him to get out of them?
29295Well?
29295What could there be so interesting and exciting to say about Geoff''s umbrella?
29295What do you mean? 29295 What do you think she should write?"
29295What is it, Vicky dear?
29295What may those be?
29295What was he doing at the top of the kitchen stair?
29295What was it?
29295What will he be saying next, I wonder?
29295What''s that?
29295What''s the matter, my lad?
29295What''s this a- doing here? 29295 What?"
29295What_ will_ he think of the children? 29295 When shall I go, sir?"
29295Which railway station?
29295Who says you''re going to lose your money?
29295Who? 29295 Why do n''t you tell Geoff about them, mamma?
29295Why not call me Ned? 29295 Why, do n''t_ you_ like it?"
29295Will you have a sup, Jim?
29295Will you not come and stay here altogether?
29295Will you tell me where I''m to sleep?
29295Will you tell me, Geoff,she said,"what has put all this into your head?
29295You are not frightened?
29295You do n''t speak that way to your mother, I hope?
29295You do n''t think he''ll be very severe with poor Geoff?
29295You do, do you?
29295You have finished, surely, Geoff?
29295You''ve been very good to me-- would you mind one thing more? 29295 You''ve brought the milk- cans back, too, I suppose?
29295You''ve finished those letters, dear, have n''t you?
29295You''ve not had your tea? 29295 And if so, where would he go, what should he do? 29295 And oh, dear uncle, is he very unhappy?
29295And you say it''s possible-- that this Farmer Eames may perhaps have a place that I should do for?"
29295Are they good housekeepers, eh?"
29295Are you sure she put it right?"
29295At my age it''s really too absurd that----""What are you talking about, Geoff?"
29295At sixteen, or even seventeen, you have still to ask leave, I suppose?"
29295But I suppose you''ll be going into the first- class?"
29295But now the worst has come----""What is the worst?"
29295But what are we to do?"
29295But what do your friends say to it, sir?
29295But, if you''ll excuse me, I''d best perhaps drop the''sir''?"
29295Can it be you yourself?
29295Can you believe he has really come, mamma?"
29295Can you tell me, sir, maybe, if the omnibus that passes near here takes one to the railway station?"
29295Could Geoff not guess?
29295Could I tell them-- her-- it''s my sister-- to write to your place, and you to send it to me?"
29295Could his friend, the guard, have forgotten to post the letter, after all?
29295Did n''t you meet''em?"
29295Did she know the new squire?
29295Did you notice what small brown hands he has, and such_ very_ bright eyes?
29295Did you see him?
29295Do you know the new squire?
29295Do you think I have n''t the sense to know how to behave when any one''s ill?
29295Do''ee know how to drive a bit?"
29295Fond of riding, I dare say?"
29295Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot?
29295Great- uncle, do n''t you think Geoff should have some idea of all this?"
29295Had he been treated so"oncommon badly"?
29295Had she done wrong?
29295Had you started before you got my letters?
29295Has he bothered her much lately?"
29295Have you anything particular to tell me?"
29295Have you seen to Dapple?"
29295He is a steady worker, and----""But how about the_ home_ report of him, eh?"
29295He''s all right, I suppose?"
29295He''s not a bad brother to you, I hope?
29295How could I go teasing mamma about anchovy toasts for you when she is so worried?"
29295How have you managed hitherto?"
29295I know you did n''t_ mean_ ever to vex mamma, and I''m sure you''ll never do it again, when she gets better, will you?
29295I think you will agree with me when I say that it is plain to me that Master Geoff should leave home?"
29295I wonder how it was I never got the other letters?
29295Indeed, are n''t you afraid he may have heard already that you are the new squire there?"
29295Is he always so white- like?"
29295Is mamma not as much to_ me_ as to you girls?
29295Is n''t it dreadfully late-- or-- or early for you to be up?"
29295Is n''t it funny that he''s only an adopted uncle, after all?"
29295Is n''t it the big station for all parts?"
29295Is tea ready, Vic?"
29295It is how many weeks since Mr. Norris first wrote that he was uneasy?
29295It''ll want emptying-- eh, wife?"
29295Mamma, Elsa, Frances, Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot-- where should they be, but in the new squire''s own house?
29295Mamma, will you speak to them?"
29295Mamma,"she went on,"supposing our great- uncle did come home, would he be dreadfully angry if he found out that we all called him''Hoot- Toot''?"
29295Not afraid of roughing it?
29295Shall I, Geoff?"
29295Should I feed the pigs?"
29295Sixteen or seventeen, maybe?"
29295The ground''s as hard as iron; and oh, my goodness, is n''t it cold?"
29295Then he does notice things sometimes?"
29295They''re comforts to you, Alice, my dear, eh?"
29295They''ve been tidying up at the house; did you know?"
29295Those are your best ones, ai n''t they?"
29295Was it where you thought?"
29295What did poor Frank make me your trustee for, if it was n''t to manage these things for you?"
29295What do these young ladies busy themselves about?
29295What else could I be?
29295What has she to do with it?
29295What is it about?"
29295What is it that is too absurd at your age?"
29295What is the matter?
29295What line is this place on?"
29295What should he do if Farmer Eames could not take him on?
29295What things are you in want of?"
29295What time did you say he had to get up, uncle?"
29295What time shall I come to- morrow, Alice?"
29295What was the address Geoff gave in his note to Vicky?
29295What would Elsa have said had she heard him?
29295Whatever''s the matter?"
29295When can it have come?
29295Where have you come from?
29295Where is mamma?
29295Where is the farm?"
29295Where was he?
29295Where were they all?
29295Where''s that ill- tempered fellow off to?"
29295Whoever heard o''such a thing?"
29295Why did n''t you write?"
29295Why did you not let us know?"
29295Will you ask Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot to forgive me, too?
29295Will you tell her that I just_ beg_ her to forgive me?
29295Would he be met by a refusal, and told to make his way back to the station?
29295Would you like me just to run and tell Elsa and Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot how_ dreadfully_ you''d like to see her just for a minute?
29295You always will, wo n''t you, Vicky?"
29295You and Victoria ca n''t be quarrelling, surely?"
29295You do n''t mind waiting while I have some breakfast, do you?
29295You do n''t object, sir?
29295You do n''t suppose I stay down there grinding away to please myself, do you?"
29295You wo n''t want to give your name maybe?
29295You wo n''t whip him, will you?
29295You''ll have a glass of beer to begin with?"
29295You''ll have to keep a civil tongue in your head, my boy-- eh?"
29295_ Are n''t_ you glad?
29295_ Could_ Great- Uncle Hoot- Toot be there?
29295do you want to spoil all your chances?"
29295he replied testily;"what difference does that make?
29295now, who''d''a''thought it?"
29295said Elsa, looking rather disappointed;"you are not our real uncle, then?
29295said Mr. Byrne;"new- fangled notions, eh?"
29295said a now well- known voice from the other side of the room;"what''s all that about over there?
42230Am I a favorite?
42230And he wants us to go and stay with him?
42230And that gave you courage?
42230And what made you faint in the cave, dear? 42230 And which is Philip and which is Percy?"
42230And will somebody else enjoy it too?
42230And you have n''t got a city of refuge here?
42230And you know how to do it when you try?
42230Are n''t there some dungeons underneath? 42230 Are we going to live up there?"
42230Are you sure?
42230Bertie,she asked, in a voice that was little above a whisper,"what_ is_ a lark?"
42230But you were afraid?
42230But, mama, he is n''t going to be blind, is he?
42230Ca n''t we row to it?
42230Ca n''t you call me Uncle Robert, like that pair of urchins, who are no kith or kin of mine, though you are? 42230 Can we really have a sail?"
42230Could n''t Genefer go, mama? 42230 Could we what, Esther?"
42230Did he really ask us too? 42230 Did n''t you hear me tell you to go and speak to your cousin?"
42230Did n''t you think you might get hurt too?
42230Did you ever complain to your mother about your hair?
42230Did you know who it was?
42230Did you know who was calling?
42230Did you want me, mama?
42230Do I hurt you?
42230Do n''t what?
42230Do n''t you know? 42230 Do n''t you, really?
42230Do n''t you? 42230 Do you ever think about God?"
42230Do you know what this letter says?
42230Do you mean really?
42230Do you think so?
42230Do you think you will say''yes''to Uncle Arthur?
42230Does he like it?
42230Does your mama ever take advice, my dear?
42230Earle or owl-- what''s the odds? 42230 Esther, suppose you had been afraid, and had not gone in and got Mr. Trelawny safely out of the cave, do you know what would have happened?"
42230Have a governess or tutor here as well as two boys?
42230Have you never found that out yet, child? 42230 How d''ye do?
42230How did Mr. Trelawny find you?
42230How did you cure yourself?
42230How do you do, Mrs. Poll- parrot? 42230 I should like to,"answered Esther eagerly;"what is it you do?"
42230I wonder why Old Bobby likes girls better than boys?
42230Is anything the matter, mama?
42230Is he really a magician or a wizard?
42230Is n''t he? 42230 Is n''t it nice?"
42230Is n''t there a lot of glass about?
42230Is that so, little woman? 42230 Is that you, Essie?
42230Mama? 42230 May I say you will come soon?"
42230Now tell me, child,said Mr. Trelawny''s big voice,"what is the matter with my little friend?"
42230Now tell me, child-- don''t be afraid to speak the truth-- do you want these young cubs to come, or do n''t you? 42230 O Mr. Earle, did they tell you too?"
42230O Mr. Earle, what did they do?
42230O Mr. Earle, where are the boys?
42230O Pickle, can you row yourself?
42230O Uncle Robert, can you really see?
42230O boys, what did you do?
42230O mama, you will go, wo n''t you?
42230Oh, but, Bertie, is n''t it naughty?
42230Oh, do n''t you see? 42230 Oh, she let on to somebody, did she?
42230Oh, what did you do?
42230Pickle dear,said Esther gently at last,"wo n''t you let me put you to bed?
42230Shall we go and find a coral island?
42230Shall we take some provisions with us, in case we''re wrecked?
42230She does n''t know much, does she, Pickle?
42230So you have found your way up to the old blind man, have you? 42230 Tell me what?"
42230To take care of, eh? 42230 To what happy accident may I attribute the honor of this visit?"
42230We are going to have some good times together, are we not?
42230Well, little Miss Esther, and how do you do? 42230 Well, madam?"
42230Well,he said, on seeing the children,"and what are you all in such a state of jubilation about?"
42230Were n''t you afraid to go in? 42230 Were you afraid of the darkness in there just now?"
42230Were you out on the water in the storm?
42230What about my little Goldylocks herself?
42230What are you doing here all alone, with a storm coming up?
42230What can we do?
42230What did I say?
42230What did he say?
42230What did he tell you? 42230 What did they say?"
42230What did you do, Esther?
42230What does the shorn sheep say herself about that?
42230What fooling?
42230What is it, mama?
42230What is it?
42230What is it?
42230What is the matter?
42230What is the matter?
42230What is the message?
42230What tanks?
42230What''s that? 42230 What''s that?"
42230What''s your name?
42230Where did you go?
42230Where is Miss Esther, Genefer?
42230Where is everybody?
42230Who was that funny man in spectacles sitting in Mr. Trelawny''s pew?
42230Why ca n''t we live up there, instead of in this little band- box? 42230 Why did you stay such a time up there after the storm was over?"
42230Why do n''t you call him father?
42230Why do you call your father Crump?
42230Why do you tell her?
42230Why on earth not?
42230Why ought you?
42230Why? 42230 Why?"
42230Will it always stand on end like that?
42230Wo n''t he know from Milly and Bertie?
42230Wo n''t it be jolly when he can go about without that horrid old shade, and without a stick, or anybody to lead him? 42230 Would he let you have a city of refuge out here?"
42230Would he like some blackberries?
42230Would it do if I came a little later? 42230 Would you like to learn to sketch some day?"
42230You do n''t mind them, I suppose?
42230You do play sometimes then?
42230You''re not frightened, are you?
42230And how could she leave this poor creature without seeking to do something?
42230And if you knew that he could send somebody to help you if you wanted it really, why, you would n''t be afraid any more, would you?"
42230And is he really our tutor?"
42230And is n''t there a block or an ax or something like that?
42230And what is your errand?"
42230And you will help me this year, wo n''t you?
42230Are we all going to live in this funny little box of a place?"
42230But I suppose when she comes back we might have a turn?"
42230But may I come again to- morrow to see how he is?"
42230But the boys, Genefer-- what about them?"
42230But what''s all that noise overhead?"
42230Can I do anything else for you?"
42230Can I go and see him?"
42230Can we go up after tea?"
42230Could she leave him like that?
42230Did Mr. Earle come and fetch you?"
42230Did n''t you once tell me so?"
42230Did you know he was going to do it?"
42230Did you mean that, Ess?"
42230Do n''t we go along?"
42230Do n''t you see your cousin Esther waiting to speak to you?
42230Do n''t you think he''ll be pleased?
42230Do n''t you think it was taking a great liberty without your mother''s leave?"
42230Do n''t you think that''s Uncle Bob''s sin, Ess?"
42230Do n''t you think that''s a nice, easy, short name?"
42230Do n''t you understand that they are paying homage to you?
42230Do you go often?"
42230Do you mean you would call it a sin?"
42230Do you think I can be useful to you, Uncle Robert, if I come?"
42230Do you think he''ll like it?
42230Do you think we ought to go?"
42230Do you think your little shoulders are strong enough to bear the burden?
42230Do you understand?"
42230Earle''s?"
42230Earle?"
42230Esther caught her breath and called back,--"Is there anybody down there?"
42230Esther stole back to her mother''s side, and asked timidly,--"You''re not vexed with me, mama dear?
42230Esther, do you know that you are the only blood relation I have in the world?"
42230Esther, do you think it''s a sin to call people by nicknames?
42230Esther, should I have gone to hell?"
42230Esther, suppose the boat had gone down and we had been drowned, would that have been dying in one''s sins?"
42230Had she not resolved to overcome them?
42230Has Mr. Earle been working you too hard?"
42230Have n''t you ever been down there?
42230Have you decided?"
42230Have you had a walk to- day?"
42230Have you taken counsel together over the blind man''s request?
42230Having made this discovery, ought she not to pursue it farther?
42230He looked into her face with a smile, and asked,--"What is the matter now?"
42230He stopped and looked rather earnestly at Esther, and then said,--"What was it that took you into the cave to find Mr. Trelawny on Saturday?"
42230How came you here, child?
42230How came you to be there all alone to- day?"
42230How is mama?"
42230How old are they, and what are their names, mama?"
42230How was it he knew anything about her headaches?
42230I mean, we''ll try to be as good as we can.--Won''t we, Puck?"
42230I never saw such queer marks as there were on the stones-- did you, Puck?
42230I suppose that''s the sort of thing you mean, Ess?
42230I think that''s quite a sin-- don''t you, Esther?"
42230If one may forget everything as soon as one grows up, what''s the use of making such a fuss about learning them?"
42230Is Mr. Earle a friend of his?
42230Is n''t that a fine bit of molding there?
42230Is the storm going to come very quickly?"
42230Is this the cage you live in?"
42230It''s the boys you''ll want that cane of mine for.--Eh, Esther?
42230Let them go?
42230Little Esther, do you think you could be a just and merciful ruler here some day?
42230May I come with you, Uncle Robert, when you go to see them at dinner- time?"
42230Milly jumped into the air with delight; but then suddenly looking grave, she exclaimed,--"But how shall we get there?"
42230Now, do you understand?"
42230O Pickle, what were you doing?
42230Oh, wo n''t it be jolly?
42230Or shall I come and do it?"
42230Please, are you very much hurt?"
42230Please, will you go to him?
42230Poll- parrot?"
42230She made another little movement, and then added wistfully,"Please, may I go home?"
42230She stood quite still, and called timidly,--"Is anybody there?"
42230So mama has sent you, has she, Miss Goldylocks?
42230Then she plucked up her courage to add,"May I give you a cup of coffee after your walk?"
42230Was n''t that a sort of sin?"
42230Was there once a monk walled up in the cellar?
42230Well, and what does she say about it?"
42230Well, dear, would you like to run up and tell him that we will try the experiment?
42230Were they going to take her back into it again?
42230What are we going to do?
42230What can I do?"
42230What did you do?"
42230What difference would it make?"
42230What do you think about it, Esther, my dear?
42230What do you want to do about it?"
42230What has Esther come about to- day?"
42230What was it made Mr. Trelawny cut it off?
42230What would her mother say when she got home?
42230What''s the good of a city of refuge if the avenger of blood sits waiting for you at the bottom of the ladder?
42230Where did he come from, Uncle Bob?
42230Where has it gone?"
42230Where have you been?"
42230Who is Crump?"
42230Why do you ask?"
42230Why on earth wo n''t this old tub do the same?
42230Why?"
42230Will that be a great nuisance, little woman?"
42230Will you be my little girl now, and be good to the people when I am gone?"
42230Wo n''t it be scrumptious?
42230Wo n''t you try to be a little fond of me?
42230Would it make life pleasanter to you or only a burden?"
42230Would these boys let her keep them in order as Bertie was kept by Prissy and Milly?
42230Would you like to see it first?"
42230Would you like to see it?
42230You can remember that, ca n''t you?
42230You do believe in Jesus, do n''t you, Pickle, even though you forget and are naughty sometimes?"
42230You have n''t enough on your hands as it is?"
42230You know how to put her helm round, Puck, do n''t you?
42230You saved his life, did n''t you?"
42230You will be able to see again soon, wo n''t you?"
42230You''d like that very much, would n''t you?"
42230[ Illustration:"How d''ye do?
42230_ Esther''s Charge._]"What is his name?"
42230and did his ghost go prowling about tapping on the doors and making groans?"
42230and did you dig out his skeleton?
42230and what would it feel like to be relieved of that great floating mass of hair?
42230and whither away so very fast?"
42230and why did n''t you drive down with him too?"
42230are you going to have a little carriage again?"
42230could we?"
42230do n''t you hear the thunder?
42230hallo!--what''s this?"
42230how do you know?"
42230is it true?"
42230is that my little Goldylocks?"
42230she cried,"could we really have a pony again?"
42230then can he see again?"
42230were n''t you frightened?"
42230what''s that?"
42230why ca n''t we call people what we like?
42230why did n''t you come before?
42230why do you tell?"
38771''Ow could I''elp it?
38771''Ow''s the pain, Tom?
38771Ah, then, wisha, Tom, and when am I to see me own agen?
38771Ai n''t it prime, Pepper?
38771All you? 38771 And am I going to be very, very ill?"
38771And are you going to see them again to- night, Auntie Violet?
38771And did I take the fever that''s to make me so sick from Susy-- only Susy was n''t sick, auntie?
38771And do you really think it''s getting heavy, Waters?
38771And does yer know wy you was called Pepper?
38771And may I come with you?
38771Are n''t you glad that you are going at last to see my dear little Jo?
38771Are you Aunt Beatrice?
38771Are you Miss Maggie''s father, sir? 38771 But ef we both went, Pepper?"
38771But how did you know where I was, Waters? 38771 But however did you come here, my dear little missy?"
38771But why not?
38771But, good madam, can nothing be done to rouse her?
38771Dear me, Maggie, how can I tell? 38771 Did n''t I tell you how mother considered the poor?"
38771Did yer really?
38771Did you observe that old man, Marcia?
38771Do n''t be too sure, Susy; how can you tell but that Master Ralph''ll get tired of saving up all his pennies for you? 38771 Do n''t you really know what she does it for?"
38771Do you like fantails?
38771Do you mean those darling white birds in the cage?
38771Do you really like flat countries best?
38771Do you really live in an attic? 38771 Does she, too, know some one of the name of Jo, and what is she keeping you for?
38771Does yer know wy Trusty was called Trusty?
38771Father dear, did you ever hear nurse talk of her nephew?
38771Getting up? 38771 Has she the best and most expensive nourishment-- can''t her strength be supported?
38771Have you got a cordial?
38771How do you do, Aunt Beatrice? 38771 How tall should you think he''d be, Miss Grey?"
38771How, Susy-- how, dear, nice Susy?
38771Hullo, little maid, what is up with you-- where are you off to?
38771I can say nothing better than that, can I, mother?
38771I must not leave my barrel- organ in the street,said Antonio to the child;"will you let me take it home first, missy?
38771I stick on? 38771 In other ways?"
38771Is that you, Auntie Violet?
38771Jim, do you know what o''clock it is?
38771Little missy has got eyes dark and long like almonds; perhaps she comes from our sunny south?
38771May I tell you something as a great, tremendous secret?
38771Miss Grey,she said,"which do you think are the best off, very rich little only children girls, or very poor little many children girls?"
38771Mother,exclaimed Maggie in a low, breathless voice,"is that the gentleman visitor?"
38771Must the tambourine cost half a crown?
38771Not want to go?
38771Now where shall we go?
38771Now, which is little Jo?
38771Oh, Ralph, you do n''t mean Bianco and Lily?
38771Oh, is that little Susy Aylmer?
38771Oh, missie, was n''t they beautiful and white?
38771Oh, surely you will like the walk with Ralph this lovely morning, Maggie?
38771Oh, was there ever such a bad girl? 38771 Pepper,"he continued as he pressed his arms round his little brother,"should yer mind werry much going to the work''us arter h''all?"
38771Please, sir, may n''t I call to- day?
38771Ralph only gets a penny a day; how many days will have to pass before Susy gets the thirty pennies?
38771Shall I fetch a doctor, old chap?
38771So the princess has sent you to me, my lad?
38771That I could sell?
38771That''s all right now,she said;"you''ll be able to buy the tambourine now, wo n''t you?"
38771Then you''re not getting up?
38771To die,said Billy,"yes, and wot then?"
38771Tom,whispered Pat, who during this colloquy had stood by his side,"can yer give mother that''ere shilling to- morrer?"
38771Uncle John, has a separate trap come for all the luggage? 38771 Well, Miss Maggie dear, where''s the secret I''m to keep inviolate?"
38771Well, see if I do n''t some day,said Tom;"you dare me, do you?
38771Well, what are they there for except for me to pick?
38771Well,said the old gentleman, for he hated beggars,"what do you want?
38771What good would yer Sairey Ann be to me? 38771 What have she special to live for, pretty lamb?
38771What in the world should I do that for?
38771What is the child muttering?
38771What is the matter? 38771 What tenpence?"
38771What''s fever, auntie?
38771What''s over- ripeness?
38771What''s the hour?
38771What''ud come o''Trusty?
38771What, Bianco and Lily?
38771What, my darling?
38771Who could have been the mischievous person? 38771 Who is that child, Violet?"
38771Whoever can that be? 38771 Why do you know that, little woman?"
38771Why should n''t a laundress have nice things done for her? 38771 Why so, my love?
38771Why, my little one-- my little sweet one from the south, however did you come to a dreadful place like this?
38771Why, now, you has n''t nothing as you could sell, I suppose?
38771Will you be pleased to be seated, sir?
38771Wo n''t Maggie jump when she hears the fireworks?
38771Wot does yer mean?
38771Wot is it, Pepper? 38771 Wot is it, mother?
38771Wot''s that?
38771Yes, ai n''t it, Jo? 38771 Yes, but what is the difference between fourteen and thirty?"
38771Yes,replied Ralph;"did n''t you hear her say so?
38771Yes; but I say?
38771You liked it, dearie?
38771You never saw fireworks, did you, Mag? 38771 You took great care of that box while I was away, Waters?"
38771''ow so?"
38771Add ten to fourteen, makes twenty- four; come now, I''m getting on, but that is n''t thirty, is it, darling?
38771And how is the dear, beautiful little lady, Sir John, and Master Ralph, bless him?"
38771And if the little breadwinner was not at his crossing, where would the food come from for Pepper and Trusty?
38771And may I leave the table, please?
38771And now, what about Jo?
38771And was you overtook with sleep, and did you spend the night here?
38771But what ailed the men and women, the boys and girls, who walked quickly over Tom''s clean crossing?
38771But what ailed the poor little boy himself?
38771But-- what was the matter?
38771Could his mother come back to him now, would she recognize her own bright- spirited little Pepper in this poor, weak, selfish boy?
38771Did you ever see any one-- any one so nice?"
38771Did you ever try that?
38771Did you find it out by looking up at the stable clock?"
38771Do n''t he move his lazy h''old sides quickly now, Pepper?"
38771Do n''t you think I''m about as good as that Jo of yours?"
38771Do n''t you think it was very wicked, Uncle John, for any one to open my hutch door?
38771Do n''t you think it''s very good of me to get up so early?
38771Do you know my little friend Jo, Miss Grey?"
38771Do you know the time by a watch yet?
38771Do you think I''d get two or three pennies for my new best hat with the feathers and the lace, Susy?"
38771Do you think you can manage to stick on, my boy?
38771Have you done your tea, Miss Grey?
38771Have you seen him before?
38771He was silent for a moment; then he said slowly:"You can learn it, I suppose, Miss Maggie?"
38771His sprained ankle was bad enough-- for how, with that swollen and aching foot, could he go out to sweep his crossing to- morrow?
38771How could she tempt you to do anything so wicked?
38771How do I know that you wo n''t keep the whole shilling?"
38771How many roses would you like, Miss Grey?"
38771I am sure I forgets-- look yere, would n''t yer like some breakfast, old chap?"
38771I like them fresh, do n''t you, Ralph?"
38771I''m all blown like, and I''m afeard as Sarah Ann''as taken cold; jest hold her for one minute-- will yer?"
38771Is he a nice little boy?
38771Is he about your age?"
38771Is it me that''ud take this hat and sell it by myself?
38771Is n''t it''licious being up so bright and early, Jim?"
38771Is n''t mother sweet?
38771Is there anything we ought to get for her, Miss Grey?"
38771It came from Perrett''s, too, did it not, Miss Grey?"
38771It is not really true what you said about Jo, Susy?"
38771It seems rude to say,''Is the laundress in?''
38771It would be very wrong of me to tell it, would n''t it, Waters?"
38771Look yere, Billy, old chap, you ai n''t going to die, be yer?"
38771Mag- Mag, what do you mean?"
38771Maggie called to him:"Jim, come here; are n''t you surprised?
38771Miss Grey, darling, how soon shall I be growed up?"
38771Mother darling, has the new laundress come?"
38771Mother does very much-- she finds sal volatile does her good; did you ever try that?
38771Need he give back that change to the old man?
38771No way out of his difficulty?
38771Now then, Billy, where''s that punched head you promised me a year ago now?
38771Now what do you think I have found?
38771Now, Maggie, I''ll knock rather sharp, and when the new laundress opens the door you are to say,''Please is Mrs. Robbins the laundress in?''"
38771Now, can it be possible that these two Marcias are yours, and that the man who said your child was dead was mistaken?"
38771Now, shall we begin again?"
38771Of course the little maid must be taught discipline; we''d none of us be anywhere without it; eh, wife?
38771Oh, Mrs. Grenville, how is Miss Maggie, and is she going away same as our little Jo is going away?"
38771Oh, missie, are there real trees there, and grass?
38771Oh, was there any possible loophole of escape out of that difficulty?
38771Part with Trusty?
38771Pepper and Trusty, is that h''all the welcome yer''ave to give to a feller?"
38771Please, Miss Grey, it''s only''Robinson Crusoe;''do you mind putting him on the shelf?"
38771Ralph, my dear boy, how do you do?
38771See here, young''un; if I trust you with my shilling, when am I to see the change?"
38771Shall I go round to see Jo this morning, mother, and may I take Maggie with me?
38771She ca n''t be at all shy to sing before a lot of people; can she, Ralph?"
38771Susy did n''t act right, and I know Jo will be very unhappy, and Jo ought n''t to be blamed; ought she, mother?"
38771Susy, can you write?"
38771Take fourteen from thirty, how much is left, Maggie?
38771That''s the part of me what thinks, is n''t it?"
38771This will more than make up the sixteen added to fourteen, wo n''t it?"
38771Tom, will yer hold Sairey Ann?
38771Uncle John, will you please hand me down that cage?
38771Was Billy going home?
38771Was Tom, while working almost beyond his strength, in reality only doing harm by keeping Pepper out of the workhouse?
38771Was it possible that his poor life of semi- starvation was beginning to tell not only on Pepper''s weak body, but on his kind heart?
38771Was it really only the middle of the night, and had she better just ignominiously undress herself and go back to bed?
38771Was it really true that Maggie had done a beautiful deed by giving his white and pretty darlings their liberty in a country wood?
38771Waters, where have you come from, and how did you learn my secret?"
38771Well, what was I saying?
38771Well, what were we talking about?
38771What are you doing up there?"
38771What evil chance had brought him to Kensington Gardens that day?
38771What is his name?"
38771What is the matter, little woman?"
38771What shall we do with our day- dream?"
38771What should she do?
38771What was to become of the two children?
38771What would his mother say could she look down from heaven and find out that her Tom had told a lie?
38771What''s the color to keep a secret in, Miss Maggie?
38771What''s the next thing?"
38771Where''s Jo?
38771Where''s our darling little Jo?"
38771Who was Jo?
38771Whoever did open the door of the hutch?
38771Why could n''t you have considered the poor in the shape of Jo''s mother, Aunt Violet?"
38771Why, Maggie dear, you look quite sad; what is the matter?"
38771Why, do n''t she take the trouble off my shoulders more than any one else ever did or ever will do?
38771Why, what is the matter Susy?"
38771Why, what is the matter, my child?"
38771Will you stay for her sake, little Jo?"
38771Would he slacken his pace the least morsel in the world, or would he pass quickly on like those cross old ladies whom he had last addressed?
38771Would that dreadful workhouse after all be the best place for Pepper?
38771Would the gentleman stop, pause, look at him?
38771Would you like to see the child, Mrs. Grenville?
38771YOU ARE TO SAY,''PLEASE IS MRS. ROBBINS IN?''"
38771Yer never goin''to be untrue to yer name, be yer?"
38771Yere they goes into this old brown cracked jug, and do n''t they look fine?
38771You always keep your own secrets in violet, do n''t you?"
38771You do n''t think Jo such a wonderful girl, do you, Jim?"
38771You do your lessons at the hour that most suits Miss Grey, do n''t you?"
38771You have got your work to do, Jo; do you hear me?
38771You quite understand?"
38771You''ll never, never, never guess, will you, Waters?"
38771ai n''t you very cold, missie?
38771and if so, may I go home in it?
38771and will yer promise not to run away with her?
38771and would his fine brave spirit revive again if he had enough food and warmth?
38771dear mother, can you not rest content that the good God has taken my father to himself?"
38771did n''t I just?
38771exclaimed Maggie,"and do you know the visitor?
38771he said now, rousing himself and speaking in a voice almost tearful, so keen was his disappointment,"yer never agoin''to get drowsy?"
38771my merciful Father in heaven, what-- who is that?"
38771she said,"and is that your kind?
38771she''d like to come here and look at the bunnies, would n''t she?
38771what did Tom mean, and was the baby safe?
38771where did you get the nuts?"
38771why do I think of her so much to- night?
38771will yer promise sure and faithful, Tom?"
36015''Ere''s our way,she cried,"now did n''t I tell you so?
36015A shoemaker?
36015All night too? 36015 Always?"
36015And I do n''t think my frock''s reely spoilt? 36015 And did you see the hills and the white cottages?"
36015And is all the cottages white there, and is they_ very_ pretty?
36015And is it all like Baby''s best sash, and are there cakes and f''owers and cows?
36015And the pipes?
36015And to- morrow,said Peggy,"to- morrow, will you tell me some more about the white cottage, mamma?
36015And we''ll go a nice walk, wo n''t we, Baldwin?
36015And what are the sweet little shoes you like so much to look at? 36015 And what would they do then?"
36015And white cottages?
36015And why should n''t you?
36015And you will let her come to spend the day with me to- morrow?
36015And you''ll ask Fanny?
36015Are n''t they lovely? 36015 Are n''t you frightened of_ her_?"
36015Are you afraid of going home? 36015 Are you sure there''s no mistake, miss?"
36015Are you_ sure_ it''ll come back again?
36015But how can it be?
36015But you would n''t care to change places with me, would you, missy?
36015But, mamma, might n''t there be some little girl who''d play with me like a sister? 36015 Can it be Halfred come a- runnin''after me?"
36015Can you let her mother know she''s all right, then? 36015 Cats and dogs, Miss Earnshaw?"
36015Come, now, Halfred,she said,"where''s your manners?
36015Could n''t I sleep with you, mamma dear?
36015Cross, was he?
36015D''ye really think so?
36015Deary me, who''d a thought it?
36015Did I look sad, Miss Peggy? 36015 Did the fairy stay with her always?"
36015Did you ever walk all the way there when you was a little girl?
36015Did you spend all your pennies for them?
36015Do n''t you like papa teasing you?
36015Do you know the lady''s name? 36015 Do you think we shall come to fields like that soon?"
36015Does it hurt much?
36015Does lame people ever get quite better?
36015Does you know which is the left, Hal? 36015 Does you think poor Hallie is ill, nurse?"
36015Fanny,she said,"did mamma or nurse say anything about soap- bubbles?"
36015Give it me?
36015Had n''t she no mamma, or nurse, or-- or-- brudders?
36015Have n''t you been very dull all day alone, by the bye?
36015Have you seen me at the window?
36015He wo n''t forget, will he?
36015Her house was n''t as nice as_ zit_, were it? 36015 How did she know it?"
36015How do you do, Crip-- Lizzie, I mean? 36015 How do you mean?"
36015How?
36015I''ll take them to show her-- won''t she be pleased?
36015I''m afeared it''s a- going to rain, and whatever''ull we do then? 36015 I''ve got them, Miss Earnshaw; are n''t they beauties?"
36015If it''s painted up on the wall, what''s the sense of askin''me?
36015Inside?
36015Is it anything I can tell the cook when she comes in, please, miss?
36015Is it the fairy cottage, and is the little girl zere now?
36015Is n''t you frightened, Light Smiley?
36015Is that the winder where you sees us from?
36015Is that you, Matilda- Jane? 36015 Is there a many nusseries as nice as this''un, do you think, missy?
36015Is there anything the matter, dear?
36015Is there stairs in churches?
36015Is to- morrow Saturday?
36015It''s all right, nursie, is n''t it? 36015 It''s_ always_ clear in the country, is n''t it?"
36015Jest you see to the childer will ye, Mary- Hann?
36015Lead to where?
36015Light Smiley-- Sarah, I mean,she exclaimed,"how did you come?
36015Lizzie,repeated Peggy,"which is Lizzie?
36015Look more, Hal-- does you see a teeny,_ teeny_ white spot on the bluey hill? 36015 Lor'',"said Sarah at last,"how can shoes see, they''ve no eyes, missy?"
36015Mamma dear, you wo n''t be very long away, will you? 36015 Mamma dear,"she began,"will you tell me what the little white house is_ reely_ like, then?
36015May I bring this other child in for a moment,she said,"and then I can explain it all?"
36015May n''t Brown-- I mean Matilda- Jane-- come with me, pelease?
36015Miss Earnshaw, pelease, does it ever rain in the country?
36015My darling Peggy,she said,"did I frighten you?
36015Now, Miss Peggy, love, what will you do? 36015 Nurse, is n''t it rubbish?
36015Oh, Brown Smiley-- no-- no, that''s not her name, oh what_ is_ your name, Brown Smiley?
36015Oh, and did he tell you any more? 36015 Out into the country?"
36015Out, my dear? 36015 Please, mister, does this road lead to Brackenshire?"
36015Prison, do you mean?
36015Red at night,Peggy said to herself as she glanced out;"nursie, that means a fine day, does n''t it?"
36015See, Hal,she said,"over there, far, far away,_ neely_ in the sky, does you see that bluey hill?"
36015See, Hal,she said,"over there, far, far away,_ neely_ in the sky, does you see that bluey hill?"'']
36015Should we take the humberellar?
36015Shut the door there, Rebecca, ca n''t you? 36015 Soap must be clean, must n''t it?"
36015Still there?
36015Tell you what, missy,she said,"why should n''t we-- you and me-- go a walk?
36015The cottage-- what cottage?
36015The same make as these, I suppose?
36015There-- there-- where''s your hankercher?
36015They do squeak, do n''t they, Peggy?
36015To what?
36015Was it a beggar, Miss Peggy? 36015 We ca n''t do without her, can we, papa?"
36015Well, Peggy?
36015Well, and is n''t all that yourself?
36015Well, it''ll be all right if the boy''ull tell her, wo n''t it, missy? 36015 Well, listen then; did n''t Hal buy a pair of new boots for himself to- day?"
36015Well, missie, I hope as they''ll fit Miss Dolly, and then you''ll give us your custom when they''re worn out, wo n''t you?
36015Well-- what have you been doing with yourself?
36015Were it_ God_?
36015What are ye about there then, and me fire burning itself away, and me tea ready, waiting for the bread? 36015 What are ye about there then, and me fire burning itself away, and me tea ready, waiting for the bread?
36015What are you gazing at so, my dear? 36015 What are you going to do with it?"
36015What are you saying, my dear?
36015What is I to have new boots for?
36015What is that with? 36015 What is the matter, little girls?"
36015What part''s that?
36015What should you say to cocks and hens, Peggy? 36015 What was it that tired you so?"
36015What''s a seeing pipe?
36015What''s it yer afther now, and what''s become of Matilda- Jane?
36015What''s that?
36015What''s the cripple, nursey?
36015What''s the matter, Miss Peggy?
36015What?
36015Where''ve you been, what did you do with the bun?
36015Which do you think the prettiest?
36015Which way are we going?
36015Who is Tommy? 36015 Why do n''t peoples let their children live there now?"
36015Why do n''t you come in quick?
36015Why do you look so sad, nurse, if it is n''t about Hal?
36015Why, Miss Peggy, have n''t you noticed the white- faced girl on crutches? 36015 Why, where did you get them?
36015Will she beat you?
36015Will you lift her out?
36015Would it show spirit to grumble? 36015 Would you?"
36015Yes, give it you; will you get it-- will you catch it?
36015Yes, that must be it,said Peggy;"but I would like to go far enough to see a_ little_ plainer, Sarah, would n''t you?
36015You and Baby are not alone? 36015 You can see the hills?"
36015You like that view, do n''t you, dear?
36015You see?
36015You''ll let your poor old Terry come, wo n''t you, Peg- top?
36015_ Is n''t_ they sweet?
36015_ Is_ it naughty, Miss Earnshaw?
36015And do you think-- oh do you think, Peggy, that p''raps there''s_ pigs_ zere, real pigs?"
36015And mamma found out it was reelly a cottage, a white cottage, all alone up on the hill-- isn''t it sweet of it to be there all alone, Hallie?
36015And oh, papa, do you think_ p''raps_ she lives in a white cottage?"
36015And the eggs and the chickens, mamma?"
36015And was it in a white cottage?"
36015And when are we to go?
36015And when did you ever see ices, I''d like to know, Baldwin?"
36015Are they for-- for your dolly, missy?
36015Are they some that would fit Baby?"
36015Are you a tailor?"
36015Are you sure we''re going the right way?"
36015Are you waiting for some one?"
36015Are you waiting for the sugar or the salt, or ca n''t you fix which you want this morning?"
36015Bain''t that Brackenshire as large as life?
36015But Master Hal, had n''t you better put your boots in the perambulator?
36015But after all what was the use of standing there fancying things?
36015But have you a pipe?"
36015But is n''t poor Peggy to have new boots, too?
36015But never mind about that-- do look at the hills, Sarah, and oh,_ can_ you see the white speck shining in the sun?
36015But nowhere----"[ Illustration:"Mama dear,"she began,"will you tell me what the little white house is reely like, then?
36015But when I''m big ca n''t I do something for the children at the back?"
36015But-- she is not hurt?--she is all right?"
36015CHAPTER V THE LITTLE RED SHOES"Pif- paf Pottrie, what trade are you?
36015Ca n''t we go home now this minute to ask her?"
36015Ca n''t we go, Peggy?
36015Can you guess what the shed is for, Peggy, and what the tiny door is for?"
36015Can you hear me?"
36015Could n''t I carry you, missy?"
36015Did n''t her ever go to bed?"
36015Did she tell you to come upstairs?"
36015Did you ever live in the country?
36015Did you never hear speak of a baker''s dozen?"
36015Did you see Fanny?
36015Do n''t they, nurse?"
36015Do n''t you ever play in your mind at fancying?"
36015Do they live over in that country?"
36015Do you understand?"
36015Do you, Baldwin?"
36015Does you think they will, nursie?
36015Hal?"
36015Have the boys got off to school all rightly, nurse?"
36015Higher up than the bubble, but not at the top quite?"
36015How did you know it was there, Peggy?"
36015How would you like to be in a kitchen?"
36015I hope your pains are n''t very bad to- day?"
36015I may keep them; they_ is_ mine, is n''t they?"
36015I rather think they take eggs and chickens to market, do n''t they?"
36015I think that the far- away helps to make it pretty-- why is far- away so pretty, mamma?"
36015I wish----""What?"
36015I wonder who she was?
36015I''d like to go a quite long walk, would n''t you, Sarah?"
36015I''m sure it was most obligin''of you to bring the shoe, but wo n''t your mamma and your nurse scold you?"
36015I_ think_ it has, do n''t you, mamma?
36015If you will, I''ll promise not to think there''s fairies there-- only----""Only what, dear?"
36015If you will, I''ll promise not to think there''s fairies there-- only----""Only what, dear?"
36015Is Webb''s your butcher, missy--''tis just at the corner of Fernley Road?"
36015Is clouds alive?"
36015Is n''t Peggy a brick?"
36015Is n''t it jolly?
36015Is she a friend of Missis''s, I wonder?"
36015Is this your baby in the perambulator?
36015It is unfortunate that I have to go so far to- day, is n''t it?
36015It''ll only be a little short parting, wo n''t it?"
36015Its top goes up above the bubble and then down and then up again, and it never moves like the clouds-- does you see now, Hallie dear?"
36015Mamma, how is it that dying is so nice, about going to heaven, you know, and_ still_ it is so sorry?"
36015Mamma----""Well, darling?"
36015May I ask nurse to wake me up the next time the moon comes?"
36015May n''t I give it to Lizzie?
36015May n''t I give it to Lizzie?
36015May n''t I go and get the pipes now?"
36015May we begin packing to- day?
36015Must we go back to the shop with it, do you think, Miss Earnshaw?
36015No, your frock''ll brush all right; but you do n''t mean to say you''ve been out in the rain?
36015Nurse, will you remember to let us have them the first wet half- holiday?
36015Oh dear, what shall I do?"
36015Oh,_ how_ I do wish we could go and see them all, do n''t you, dear little shoes?"
36015Only, will they give it you when you go home for dirtying of your frock?"
36015Or is they all away and left you and the cat to keep''ouse?"
36015Papa, ca n''t you tell me?"
36015Peg wo n''t mind much for once, will you?
36015She''s a_ very_ kind lady, is n''t she, nursie?
36015Should she go to the door and peep out, or should she call"Come in"?
36015Should we do piggies first, to please Baby before we begin?"
36015So it never was more than a dream to her after all, and perhaps-- perhaps it was best so?
36015That made a lot of brothers, did n''t it?
36015Then if we all blowed very hard at the window, if we all blowed together, could n''t we blow them away?
36015There are to be fresh eggs there, are n''t there?
36015There''ll be no room for visitors, do you hear, Terry?"
36015There''s nice trees and gardings up Fernley Road, and that''s a sort of country, is n''t it, missy?"
36015They''re too small for a baby, bain''t they?"
36015Was she an old lady, Peggy?"
36015What have you been about?"
36015What is it like inside, and who lives in it?
36015What is it you mean to get six of-- not buns?"
36015What was the matter?
36015What''ll your folk say to you?
36015What''s that place you''ve been at-- Brat-- what is it?"
36015What''s the young lady chatterin''to the like o''you for?
36015What''s the young lady chatterin''to the likes o''you for?
36015Whatever''ull I do?
36015When they got to the door at the top of the kitchen stairs, Peggy opened it and called down softly,"Fanny, are you there?
36015Where was his book this time?"
36015Which''ll you have?
36015Would n''t it spoil some things if we knew the why of them, little Peggy?"
36015You did n''t go yourself to old Whelan''s, surely?"
36015You would n''t wait''ere a minute, would you, while I run to see if there''s a road near?"
36015You''ll take me to Mrs. Whelan''s, wo n''t you, dear Brown Smiley?"
36015You''re sure your mamma and nurse would n''t mind?"
36015You''ve not been worrying yourself about the children who live over Mrs. Whelan''s, I hope?
36015Your stockings are n''t wet?"
36015_ In course_ God would n''t do it of purpose, would he?"

14379''A Saviour yet to come?'' 14379 ''Ah, sir, what more can I say to convince, to move you?
14379''Can it be possible?'' 14379 ''Can it be that such designs are really entertained against us?''

14379Ah, mamma,said Violet,"are you not forgetting the lessons you used to give us, your children, on the sin of indolence and self- indulgence?"
14379Ah, mother dear,as he threw aside his wet overcoat and took her in his arms,"were you alarmed for the safety of your three sons?"
14379Ah, yes,she assented;"but with all that, is it not the quietest place you ever were in?"
14379Ah, you charge according to the amount of news, do you?
14379An escaped criminal-- a murderer-- or a maniac from an insane asylum, I suppose; for who else would wear a clanking chain? 14379 And did Eleazer Williams hear of it?"
14379And if there is a jail on the island?
14379And is it on exhibition, papa?
14379And to be obedient, too?
14379And was that all?
14379And was there ever such a mother- in- law as mamma?
14379And what was the result of your efforts?
14379And yet you are not weary of life? 14379 And you are quite sure all were picked up?"

14379Anyhow,she answered, drawing herself up in pretended offence;"ca n''t a woman do as she pleases even in such trifles?"
14379Anything I can help you with?
14379Are all the grown people agreed? 14379 Are there any mountains, papa?"
14379Are we?
14379Are you glad to see papa back again so soon?
14379Are you going in this morning?
14379Are you going in?
14379Are you going to punish me, papa?
14379Are you going to walk back, papa? 14379 Are you ready for breakfast, dears?"
14379Are you really glad to know you must die before very long?
14379Are you really so much afraid of me?
14379Are you, daughter?

14379Did they?
14379Did you bear it with patience and humility, as you ought?

14379How do you know, papa?
14379How do you like our island, and particularly our town?
14379How does that happen, Levis?
14379How many did you catch, Maxie?
14379How many of us are going to bathe to- day?
14379How much?
14379How shall we proceed in order to gain admittance?
14379How soon do we sail, captain?
14379How?
14379I am going on a mile further to Sachacha Pond, ladies,he remarked;"will you drive there, or directly home?"
14379I mean as you did the other day?
14379I presume you are a little careful whom you allow to make that round?
14379I should be glad to oblige you, Betty,he said,"but I can not say that; and what would it avail if I did?
14379I want to see where the waves come up,said Lulu;"there''s Max looking down over the edge; ca n''t we go and look too, papa?"
14379I wonder if there was ever a crime committed here?
14379I''ll tell them-- shall I?
14379I''m going down to the beach,she said to Grace, when they had left the table that evening;"wo n''t you go too?"
14379I? 14379 I?
14379If not in harbor, they must be in great peril?
14379Is Gracie going too, papa? 14379 Is Mamma Vi there?"
14379Is any son or daughter of Adam saved by good works?
14379Is it because I asked you to do it, papa?
14379Is n''t she a darling?
14379Is that all?
14379Is this true that I hear of you, Lulu?
14379It''s all her, her, when you talk about that baby,laughed Rosie;"why do n''t you call her by her name?"
14379Life- saving station,repeated Lulu, turning to look in the direction of his glance;"what''s that?"
14379Lonely enough for me to indulge in a moderate amount of fun and laughter, is it not, sir?
14379Look away yonder,said Lulu;"is n''t that a fisherman''s cart?"
14379Loss, daughter dear?
14379Lulu I did you dare to talk in that way to her?
14379Lulu,he said, with a sigh that was almost a groan,"what am I to do with you?"
14379Mamma is not going, and ca n''t I stay with her, papa?
14379Mamma, what can be keeping them?
14379Mamma, what is the matter? 14379 Max, I know you like to wait on me; will you please bring my hat and shawl from the bedroom there?"
14379May I ask who and what she is?
14379May I go down to the beach, Grandma Elsie?
14379May I have a kiss too, papa?
14379May n''t I wade out, papa?
14379Must I drink it if they offer me a cup?
14379Must we wait for an answer from Nantucket?
14379My dear captain,she said, in a tone of gentle remonstrance,"why did you do this?
14379My dear,turning to Violet,"shall I have the pleasure of helping you up to the top of the tower?"
14379My love, what do you intend to call your daughter?
14379No hills either?
14379No, indeed; who''d want to eat a fish that maybe had grown fat on human flesh?
14379No, my boy, certainly not; how should a fish know what is about to happen? 14379 No, papa; wo n''t you tell me about it?"
14379No; but I''ll have a rope and papa, too, to hold to; so why need I be afraid?
14379No; yonder she is; do n''t you see?
14379No; you and I are going alone this time; do you think you will find my company sufficient for once?
14379Not papa?
14379Nothing, only-- you remember the last time you saw me in this dress? 14379 Now, Aunt Wealthy,"said Annis,"what can we do to make this wonderful day pass most happily to you?"
14379Now, how much dressmaking has to be done before the family can be ready for the trip?
14379Now, papa, will you be so kind as to read it aloud?
14379O Grandma Elsie, do you think he will? 14379 O captain,"she cried,"is n''t it time the Edna was in?"
14379O papa, will they come here some time and kill us?
14379Of course not, Miss Betty; will you take your turn next?
14379Of course not, sir; do you mean to insinuate that I am older than Aunt Rose?
14379Oh Lu, are n''t you afraid to go in?
14379Oh, Aunt Rose, do n''t you know that that is the Nantucket name for a picnic?
14379Oh, Gracie, I am glad,said Lulu;"but it would be very strange for papa to remember the bad child and not the good one, would n''t it?"
14379Oh, Lu, what made you?
14379Oh, Uncle Edward, is she alive now?
14379Oh, are n''t you ever so glad God brought our Lulu safely home to us?
14379Oh, grandpa, what could that be?
14379Oh, hark, what was that? 14379 Oh, is it you, Betty?"
14379Oh, mamma, if she is drowned, how shall I answer to my husband for taking so little care of his child?
14379Oh, papa, may I go too?
14379Oh, papa, will you tell us about them? 14379 Oh, thank you,"she said, brightening;"but wo n''t you take me along?"
14379Only a foolish reason, is it not, Betty?
14379Papashe said, looking up into his face with smiling eyes,"you have come to sit with me?
14379Papa, are you-- are you going to punish me?
14379Papa, ca n''t we take a walk?
14379Papa, do n''t you think it''s a little mean to make me tell on myself and then punish me for what you find out in that way?
14379Papa, how can we do that?
14379Papa, may I go in?
14379Papa, may we go too?
14379Papa, you know, do n''t you?
14379Papa,asked Max,"are there any woods and streams where one may hunt and fish?"
14379Possibly not; but what is that virtue worth which can not stand the least trial? 14379 Shall I go on with my packing?"
14379Shall we not, mamma?
14379She is not yielding very prompt obedience to the order,he said to himself;"but what wonder?
14379Sometimes you are not willing to be ruled even by your father; yet I hardly suppose you would say he has no right?
14379South Shore? 14379 Spare you, Ned?
14379Suppose I had not been near enough to catch her, and she had been precipitated to the ground from that great height-- how would you have felt?
14379Thank you,said Lulu;"but why do n''t you go in too, Mamma Vi?"
14379That was not obeying; I told you to do it immediately,he said in a tone of severity,"What did you do in the mean time?"
14379That what?
14379That''s a long walk for you, is n''t it?
14379Their errand who could doubt? 14379 Then I do n''t want to go,"Zoe said,"and I''d rather you would n''t; just suppose you should get a bite?"
14379Then we may hope for weeks or months?
14379Then you and I will both retire and try to take some rest, shall we not?
14379Then you will persuade them?
14379Then you wo n''t, of course,muttered Lulu, carefully avoiding looking into the kind face bending over her;"how am I to be punished?
14379Then you would n''t be glad to see papa if he came back?
14379True, mamma, and yet are they not still God''s own chosen people? 14379 Was it not merely within certain limits you were given permission to ramble about the beach?"
14379Well, Lulu, what is it?
14379Well, shall we go and see for ourselves, as the captain advises?
14379Well, think now, if you please; would n''t you go if you had an invitation? 14379 Well, what''s the matter?"
14379Were they all pleasant to you after that?
14379What a nice day for the''squantum,''is n''t it?
14379What are you going to do with all your new treasures, Aunt Wealthy?
14379What can it be?
14379What can you mean? 14379 What did your Grandma Elsie say?"
14379What do they have that for, papa?
14379What do they kill them for, then?
14379What does he say, papa?
14379What has my little girl been doing all day?
14379What have you done that you expect so severe a punishment?
14379What is a drail?
14379What is infallibility, papa?
14379What is it, Levis?
14379What is it, Lulu?
14379What is it, darling?
14379What is it, daughter?
14379What is it, love?
14379What is it, mother?
14379What is it, papa?
14379What is it? 14379 What is it?"
14379What is that down there?
14379What is the matter?
14379What is wrong?
14379What is your admission fee?
14379What is your name?
14379What of that?
14379What shall we do to- day?
14379What was it?
14379What''s the matter?
14379What, are they in the water?
14379What, then? 14379 What, with your big strong father to hold you fast?"
14379Where are the children?
14379Where did you say Ned is?
14379Where have you been?
14379Where is Lulu, papa?
14379Where is Lulu?
14379Where is Lulu?
14379Where is the harbor, papa?
14379Where is your sister?
14379Where to?
14379Where''s my baby, Levis?
14379Where''s my share, Ned?
14379Who is that man sitting on that bench nearest the water, and looking just ready to run and help if anybody needs it?
14379Who wants to set it at defiance?
14379Who?
14379Why did you not let me know that my dear father, whose society I prize so highly, was so near?
14379Why no, Gracie; I''ve bathed in the sea before; I went in a good many times last summer; do n''t you remember?
14379Why not?
14379Why should it?
14379Why should you care to?
14379Why should you think so?
14379Why, Anna Eastman, who would have expected to see you here?
14379Why, how could he get them?
14379Why, how is that? 14379 Will you go in and rest awhile, Lu?"
14379Witches, papa? 14379 Wo n''t you go and take us, papa?"
14379Wo n''t you kiss me, papa?
14379Wo n''t you let her come down here, papa? 14379 Would n''t Lulu like to ride?"
14379Would n''t it be strange if I were not?
14379Would you, my dear father?
14379Yes, if Mamma Vi will go along,he answered, with an affectionate look at his young wife;"we ca n''t go without her, can we, Gracie?"
14379Yes, indeed, Lu, dear Lu; oh, what could I do without my dear sister?
14379Yes, papa; I can not remember when I did not; and could there be a greater cause for gratitude?
14379Yes, sir; must I wait for an answer?
14379Yes,Lulu replied, getting upon her feet very slowly, and looking a good deal frightened;"did papa seem very angry?"
14379Yes,said Betty;"does n''t it make you feel like going in?"
14379Yes; and I am not so very late, am I, sir?
14379Yes; and it''s most time to start, and you''re not dressed yet, are you?
14379Yes; and you think I''m one of the first class, I suppose?
14379You can see he must have had genius; had n''t he? 14379 You did?"
14379You forgot? 14379 You said, a while ago,''I just ca n''t be good;''did you mean to assert that you could not help being disobedient to me that evening?"
14379You thought she was deranged and about to commit suicide by precipitating herself to the ground?
14379You were going to the beach, were you not?
14379You were with Bob; how is he now?
14379You will command the vessel, of course, captain?
14379You would like it, Zoe?
14379You? 14379 Your share?
14379Zoe, little wife,Edward was saying, out on the veranda,"can you spare me for a day or two?"
14379''But what''s the order of proceedings?''
14379''How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?''"
14379''Is it what I ought to do?''"
14379''Maurice, how is your poor arm?
14379''Might there not be some truth in the story after all?''
14379''On what pretext?
14379''Sconset is a smaller place, is n''t it, captain?"
14379''The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
14379--_Byron._"Well, captain, for how long have you Uncle Sam''s permission to stay on shore this time?"
14379A lady had drawn near, and now said,"Supper is ready, Captain Raymond; will you bring your little girls and come to the table?"
14379And do not the annals of your own Switzerland furnish examples of similar plots?''
14379And then, how do I know that he''ll ever get back?
14379And you would take Max and Lulu too, would n''t you?"
14379Are n''t you equally sure of the result of such an application, Ned?"
14379Are there not promises of their future restoration?"
14379Are they not magnificent?"
14379At length Bob gave unmistakable signs of life; and shortly after Betty sighed, opened her eyes, and asked, feebly,"Where am I?
14379Atwood?"
14379Besides, what were my orders to you just as I was leaving the house that morning?"
14379Betty, shall I have the honor and pleasure of conveying you aboard of yonder vessel?"
14379But I should think you''d be punished enough with all the wetting and the fright; for were n''t you most scared to death?"
14379But how is it yon can be so calm?"
14379But is n''t it time to go in, Levis?
14379But now do n''t you think I have reason to feel worse about his going away just now than you?"
14379But now what shall I do?
14379But what did papa say then?"
14379But what did you want to ask me?"
14379But what do you mean to do with him after he is done going to school?"
14379But why do you talk so?
14379But, little wife, are you weatherwise or otherwise?"
14379Can I doubt what would have been the fate of my wife and daughters had they fallen into your hands?''
14379Can they be in danger who are_ kept by the power of God_?"
14379Can you, sir?"
14379Could I have hoped to have you restored to me even in another world, my child?"
14379Could it be possible that she was so far from the tiny''Sconset cottage that at present she called home?
14379Could my opinion stay the storm?"
14379Did Mamma Vi tell him?"
14379Did he hurt you very much?"
14379Do n''t you want to go?"
14379Do n''t you wish you were one of them, Lulu?"
14379Do you know of one that might be hired, captain?"
14379Do you know the owners?"
14379Do you love papa as well as ever, Lu?"
14379Do you never feel any desire to be like Him?"
14379Do you still think, as you told me a while ago, that this sort of punishment might be a help to you in trying to be good?"
14379Do you think God would give them a knowledge of the future which He conceals from men?
14379Do you think I should be a good and kind father if I allowed you to go on in a path that leads to such dreadful ends here and hereafter?"
14379Do you think papa would leave you behind or drop you into the water?"
14379Do you think people ought to pray when they do n''t feel like it?"
14379Elsie said, folding her in her kind arms,"you have had a terrible fright, have you not?"
14379How could you bear it?
14379How do you mean?"
14379How does it strike you, father?"
14379How is Jake doing?
14379How long have you been up?"
14379How many of us are agreed to go?"
14379How should you answer that question, mamma?"
14379I dinks you all pees come to see Miss Stanhope pe von huntred years olt; ishn''t you?"
14379I do n''t think he was half as nice a father as ours; do you, Gracie?"
14379I know you are an honest child, even when the truth is against you; tell me, do you not yourself think that I am right?"
14379I''ll hold on to the rope, and if I''m in any danger I suppose Bob, or some of the rest of you, will come to my assistance?"
14379I''ve been disobedient again,"she said aloud, as she set off for home at her most rapid pace;"what would papa say?
14379In the excitement no one had noticed her, but now she exclaimed, in tremulous accents, and catching her breath,"Bob-- my brother; where is he?"
14379Is He not our life also because He is the dearest of all friends to us-- His own people?"
14379Is it not a sweet thought, papa?
14379Is it not so?"
14379Is it not to carry these glad tidings to Rudolph''s mother we take this early walk?''
14379Is it''cause Ned''s in the ship Zoe''s crying so?"
14379Is n''t it a fine sight?"
14379Levis?"
14379Listen, love, to these sweet words:''O Lord God of hosts, who is a strong Lord like unto Thee?
14379Lulu was silent for a moment, then said complainingly,"And I suppose I''ll not be allowed to take my bath either?"
14379Lulu, hearing it, cried out,"Oh, could n''t I go too, papa?"
14379Mack''s?"
14379Mack?"
14379May I learn if I have the chance?"
14379May n''t I go with you?"
14379Must I, papa?"
14379Oh, Bob,"perceiving her brother close at hand,"do n''t you want to go in?
14379Oh, are n''t you afraid they will drown?"
14379On reaching home Edward and Zoe reported their conversation with the lady in the dory, and asked,"Shall we not go?"
14379Papa, do you know how high this bluff is?"
14379Shall I call Max and Lulu to hear it?"
14379Shall I take you down there some evening and let you sit and watch them as they come and go?"
14379Shall we not?"
14379She saw the hack draw up at the door, and meeting the young girls on the threshold with a bright face and pleasant smile:"You have seen the boys off?"
14379Sure enough, where is it?"
14379Surely, you can not give it all up without a sigh?"
14379Tell me another of your stories, wo n''t you?
14379That''s another name for Surfside, is n''t it?"
14379The assassins are already assembling, the time wanes fast, and will you stretch forth no hand to save their innocent, helpless victims?''
14379Then Mrs. Keith remarked:"You look weary, dear Aunt Wealthy; will you not lie down and rest for a little?"
14379Then a single word fell from the soldier''s lips,''Lucia?''
14379Then turning to Mrs. Keith,"How is it with you, Marcia?"
14379There is none; and will faith in a myth save the soul?
14379They were silent for a little while, then hanging her head and blushing,"Papa,"she asked,"what did you do with those notes you made me write?"
14379Usually your only inquiry is,''Is it right?''
14379Were n''t you terribly frightened, dear?"
14379What do you all say?"
14379What do you say, love?
14379What errand think you draws them hither just at this time, when nearly every able- bodied Vaudois is absent on the frontier?''
14379What has become of your other half?"
14379What have you to say for your Master now?"
14379What is it?"
14379What is to be done about Bob and Betty Johnson?
14379What kept you?"
14379What next?
14379What were you doing?"
14379What you dinks?
14379When Lulu had drained the tumbler it was carried away by Agnes, and Grandma Elsie, sitting down beside the bed, asked,"Are you sleepy, my child?
14379When did you arrive?"
14379When will he come again, Lulu?"
14379Where are grandma and mamma?
14379Where are your parents or guardians, that you were permitted to step out there with no one to take care of you?"
14379Which shall it be?"
14379Who that has experienced it could ever again want to choose for him or herself?"
14379Why should not she have a share in the fun as well as Max?
14379Will you go up?
14379Wo n''t you go with us, Lulu?"
14379Wo n''t you, please?"
14379You''re not afraid of wind and thunder?"
14379a fery long dime to live?"
14379a little girl?"
14379and his beautiful queen lost their lives?"
14379and what can he want here but to kill Gracie and me?
14379and what was that?''
14379and who is the author?"
14379and would that be very difficult?"
14379are not our brave defenders theirs also?
14379as a heavy, rolling sound reverberated among the mountains;''artillery?''
14379asked Edward;"do n''t you want your pictures hung and a place found for each vase and other household ornament?"
14379but you will go, mamma, wo n''t you?"
14379ca n''t you guess?
14379ca n''t you keep quiet?"
14379can we do?
14379coffee that was stirred with a dirty poker?"
14379cried Grace,"how could you dare to do so?"
14379cried Sara,''can even popish cruelty, ingratitude, and treachery go so far?
14379do n''t you know?
14379escaped my embraces for the present, have you, my pretty barbet?''
14379forgot to pay attention to your father''s commands?
14379he is not seeking salvation by works, but by faith; then is he not safe, even though he looks for a Saviour yet to come?''
14379hearing the gracious invitation of Him who died that you might live,''Come unto me,''and refusing to accept it?
14379inquired the latter with concern;"is Gracie not feeling well?"
14379is anything wrong?"
14379is he your lover?"
14379is it not untold bliss to know that we may-- that we shall serve Him forever?
14379keeping the passes against a common foe?''
14379killed without a moment''s time to repent of her disobedience to her father''s known wishes and commands?
14379may I have the pleasure of helping you?"
14379murder in cold blood the innocent, helpless wives and children of the brave men who are defending theirs from a common foe?
14379or anybody else?"
14379or to thy faithfulness round about Thee?
14379shall I know him when I see him?''
14379she asked,"I think it looks just like the sea; what''s the matter with it, Aunt Zoe?"
14379she cried, in a transport of joy,"is it really you?
14379she cried,"what would be the use?
14379she exclaimed,"are you here?
14379she murmured;"have I been ill?"
14379she muttered to herself;"now papa knows it, and what will he say and do to me?"
14379she said with a face of disgust,"I do n''t mean to drink any of that coffee; why, would you believe it, they stirred it with a poker?"
14379some one was to blame, and why not make a scapegoat of the hated Vaudois?
14379something seemed to reply;"suppose he should; would n''t he punish you for your behavior since he left, only two days ago?"
14379that nothing can ever separate us from the love of Christ?"
14379the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?''
14379they cried,''how many names in all?''
14379what are they?"
14379what could he do?
14379what has happened?"
14379what have you been doing to yourself?"
14379what match was he for even one of the horde of desperadoes that would soon be upon them?
14379would Odetti, would Brianza have warned us, were the danger not imminent?
14379yet how far may we trust the word of one whose creed bids him keep no faith with heretics?''
14379you are happy here, are you not, dear Aunt Wealthy?"
