13501If I bring it, will you go through it with me?
13501If I were Alice--"You''d punch my head?
13501In Paris?
13501Indeed?
13501Indeed?
13501Indigestion?
13501Is Mr. Gregory here?
13501Is everybody coming to the picnic to- morrow?
13501Is he hurt? 13501 Is it possible?
13501Is it worth more or less than other kinds?
13501Is n''t it awful?
13501Is n''t she pretty!--Connie Bledlow?
13501Is n''t that unkind? 13501 Is n''t that what''s expected?"
13501Is n''t there a splendid church in Cracow?
13501Is there anything left of you? 13501 It was heavenly,"she said,"till--""Till I behaved like a brute?"
13501It''s a good lot, is n''t it?
13501It''s no good thinking about that now.... You''re not really going to have a shooting- party, Arthur? 13501 Joseph"--he turned to the groom--"you know the head keeper''s cottage?"
13501Lady Constance, and her friend? 13501 Lady Constance?"
13501Leaving-- for good?
13501Likes admiration? 13501 May I come in?"
13501May I go on? 13501 May I not even say that you intended it?
13501May we come in?
13501Mrs. Maddison, will you come with us? 13501 Must you sit up long, father?"
13501My dear boy-- what''s the matter?
13501My dear fellow,cried Sorell, aghast at the bay''s appearance and manner--"what have you been doing to yourself?"
13501My dear-- has your aunt asked you? 13501 Not an American?
13501Now what on earth am I going to do about that?
13501Now would n''t you like Nora to show you to your room?
13501Oh, Falloden of Marmion?
13501Oh, could n''t I? 13501 Oh, is it?
13501One does not always catalogue one''s acquaintance, does one?
13501Only-- if you care for him-- what then? 13501 Or shall I be more sorry for him than for myself?
13501Otto Radowitz?
13501Perhaps you would like to walk a little way with Mr. Falloden? 13501 Please-- mayn''t I help?"
13501Promise me-- if the mare turns out well-- you will ride in Lathom Woods-- on Saturday?
13501Really? 13501 Say what, you little scug?"
13501Shall I hate him again to- morrow?
13501Shall I hear from you?
13501Shall I order your carriage?
13501Show you something really good, fit for a lady?
13501Sorell, will you stroke the other boat?
13501Sorell? 13501 Suppose I set up one of those automatic pianos they''re now talking about-- could you stand that?"
13501Talking to Lady Constance Bledlow? 13501 That I should n''t dance with him to- night, or again this week?
13501That means you have n''t forgiven me?
13501The fellow who got the Ireland last year?
13501Then why, in the name of common sense, are we living together?
13501Then your people are coming up again for Commem.?
13501Then--she laid a hand on Mrs. Mulholland''s knee--"you bring him to Marseilles to meet us?"
13501They belonged to her?
13501To carry out your ideals? 13501 To go to him?"
13501Tossed by the winds of fate? 13501 Was n''t that childish-- rather?
13501We did n''t mean to hurt you of course, and we''re awfully sorry-- aren''t we, Robertson?
13501We might save something out of the wreck?
13501Well, how are you? 13501 Well, how is he?"
13501Well-- what?
13501Well?
13501Were you up as late as I? 13501 What am I to do with these brats?"
13501What are they worth?
13501What are you doing, you idiots?
13501What barge is it, Duggy? 13501 What do I really feel about him?
13501What do you call the right sort, Master?
13501What do you keep such a climate for?
13501What do you mean by''doing''?
13501What do you want of me?
13501What do you want?
13501What does that matter? 13501 What else can he do?
13501What else could I do?
13501What good should I be alone?
13501What had I done to you?
13501What has mother been about?
13501What have you to do with politics?
13501What is it makes the mathematicians such fools? 13501 What is it?"
13501What is it?
13501What lunacy made me do it?
13501What made her scratch?
13501What on earth do you mean?
13501What right had I to talk? 13501 What things?"
13501What was the story, Aunt Marcia?
13501What''s it like?--what date?
13501What''s the good of asking questions?
13501What''s the good of silly questions?
13501What''s the meaning of that, Otto?
13501What''s wrong with him?
13501What, the inquest? 13501 What-- the young men in the caps, my lady?"
13501What-- you think she''ll snuff us out?
13501Whatever were you so silly for? 13501 When did you come to know Mr. Falloden?
13501When did you ever do such a thing in Rome, or when we were travelling?
13501Where am I?
13501Where are you going, Connie?
13501Where are you going, Lady Laura? 13501 Where did you hide yourself?
13501Where is Connie?
13501Where is it? 13501 Where is the catalogue of the pictures, father?"
13501Where will you be?
13501Whither away?
13501Who did it?
13501Who has been talking to you?
13501Who is it playing?
13501Who is it?
13501Who is that young man with a halo like the''Blessed Damosel''?
13501Who made the row?
13501Who on earth''s going to look after him?
13501Who said that Oxford did n''t care about titles? 13501 Who sent for you?"
13501Who''s got some soda- water bottles?
13501Who''s paying for them?
13501Who''s sent them?
13501Who?
13501Whose?
13501Why did n''t you go,said Nora, half scoffing--"with all those frocks wasting in the drawers?"
13501Why did n''t you insist on my father''s buying these things? 13501 Why did n''t you tell me when you were coming?"
13501Why did we get into debt? 13501 Why did you hate me so?"
13501Why did you never write to me all last winter?
13501Why do n''t they keep him in order?
13501Why do n''t you set about it then?
13501Why do you do so much?
13501Why not take up some study-- some occupation? 13501 Why not, indeed?"
13501Why not? 13501 Why on earth does one go to balls?"
13501Why should I be? 13501 Why should I hate him, please?
13501Why should I have more than they?
13501Why should anybody talk?
13501Why should it provoke you? 13501 Why should she want me?--when she never wanted me before-- or any of us?"
13501Why should that fellow be any more likely now to make her happy--"Because he''s lost his money and his father? 13501 Why?"
13501Why?
13501Will it? 13501 Will that offend her?"
13501Will you allow me to open them for you?
13501Will you come for a rehearsal to- morrow?
13501Will you please give me some orders?
13501Will you write to her?
13501With Douglas Falloden?
13501Wo n''t you have some flowers, my lady?
13501Wo n''t you-- won''t you let the person-- who-- sent the money remain unknown, Uncle Ewen?--as they wished to be?
13501Would you care to share the cottage with me?
13501Yes, but do you know why he''s kind-- why he''s here at all?
13501You are going out alone?
13501You are going to like Oxford, I hope?
13501You are quite sure?
13501You are, I suppose, Mr. Douglas Falloden?
13501You desire to buy the whole of it?
13501You did n''t like him?
13501You do that-- for me?
13501You knew him before? 13501 You knew him before?"
13501You mean I took refuge with Mrs. Glendower? 13501 You mean he was sorry that I was n''t there sooner-- with my father?"
13501You mean she refused you?
13501You mean-- save her from doing something for pity that she would n''t do if she had time to think?
13501You mean-- to see the young man who was hurt? 13501 You really are taking the Boar''s Hill cottage?"
13501You see that cottage-- where the smoke is?
13501You think she dislikes me? 13501 You think so?
13501You were n''t strong enough?
13501You''ll come?
13501Your aunts are not at home?
13501Your father is not able to see us?
13501Your father was in the House for some time?
13501_ Enfin?_said Connie, with the old laugh in her eyes.
13501_ What?_Connie repeated the information-- adding--"I dare say Mr. Sorell did n''t speak of it to you, because-- he hates it."
13501''Why do n''t you send in a bigger bill?''
13501*****"Am I really so late?"
13501*****"How do you do, Douglas?"
13501*****"I suppose you will be''doing''the Eights all next week?"
13501*****"We can do this sort of thing pretty well, ca n''t we?
13501*****"What are you going to wear to- night?"
13501--''Vain''means''I wonder dreadfully what you''re thinking of me?''"
13501--he looked at her smiling--"that there''ll be some news in that quarter presently?"
13501--he pointed to the picture they had just been considering--"but not, I think, entirely by the master?"
13501--his voice and hand shook--"is that your doing?"
13501--said Nora, bluntly--"have you ever been in love?"
13501After all, when you run over a dog, you send a message, do n''t you?"
13501Ah, is this she?"
13501Aloud, she said--"You have n''t heard?
13501An Oxford row, was n''t it?
13501An embarrassed and thrilling silence reigned between them, till at last he said:"You are staying at Scarfedale-- with your aunts?"
13501And after my schools I throw my books to the dogs, and I shall have a fortnight more of term with nothing to do except-- are you going to ride?"
13501And again Falloden said to himself--"Why did I do it?
13501And are balls worth their headaches?"
13501And do n''t you remember how he went about half the evening with his arm round the boy''s shoulders?"
13501And how could there be any compunction about it?
13501And how do you know-- after all"--she held Connie at arm''s length--"that Mr. Scroll''s going to approve of what you''ve done?
13501And if they could torment him so, what would it be when Constance passed into that larger world of society to which sooner or later she was bound?
13501And now what about the maid?
13501And of course you remember your father''s married sister, Lady Langmoor?"
13501And then"--he paused abruptly in front of her, his hands in his pockets--"why should you-- you''re so young!--start life with any burden on you?
13501And then-- what had begun the jarring?
13501And to what, and to whom, were the languor, the tragic physical change due?
13501And was it not true to say that his loss had made the profit of the two lovers-- of whom one had been the author of it?
13501And what about that girl, Lady Constance?"
13501And what about the groom?"
13501And what had happened to the bed?
13501And what young man could have done a more touching-- a more heroic thing-- than--"_ Winifred_, contemptuously--"What?--Sir Arthur''s accident?
13501And when may I come to call?
13501And when the man friend knows very well that, but for an iron force upon himself, he himself would be among her lovers?
13501And who''s that girl with him?
13501And why has he turned against his doctor?"
13501And why?--why these lapses from good manners and good feeling?
13501And yet what cause of offence had she?
13501And you, darling, are you looking after everybody as usual?
13501Any other commands?"
13501Are n''t you very bored to be coming back here, after all your grand times?"
13501Are rich and handsome husbands so plentiful?
13501Are there any more gates?"
13501Are we going there?"
13501Are you a sentimentalist, Lady Constance?"
13501Are you better?
13501Are you coming to tea with me and my people?
13501Are you going to row this afternoon?"
13501Are you laughing at me?"
13501Are you with the-- the Hoopers-- is it?"
13501As they parted at the doorway leading to the Bodleian, she said with a mischievous look--"Did you know Mr. Falloden''s party is off?"
13501As to Falloden, could he do it?--could he rise to the height of what was offered him?
13501At Cannes, had she thought much about him?
13501At last, she said--"You mean-- he''ll propose to Alice?"
13501Because only a mad- man--""Could have dreamed of comparing me-- to anything soft and docile?"
13501But Falloden was n''t drunk-- and he did mean--""Oh, not to hurt you so?"
13501But I must ask you-- because I have so much at stake!--was I alone to blame?--Was there not some excuse?--had you no part in it?"
13501But I thought people came here to read books?"
13501But Otto?
13501But a voice-- a tall figure-- interposed--"Lady Constance, let me take you into the garden?
13501But do you want such a lot of things?"
13501But goodness-- what does it matter where they come from?
13501But how can I come to be a burden on you?"
13501But how can he think about marrying, Arthur?
13501But how can you help knowing?
13501But if I do, can I get on again?"
13501But is he strong enough?"
13501But may I tell the shop now to send them in?"
13501But next to him, to Radowitz himself, whom should you pity more than-- the man-- who-- was three parts to blame-- for injuring him?"
13501But now I suppose I may do what I like with the dances I promised you?"
13501But perhaps for a change-- one might try--""Try what?"
13501But that was no reason-- no excuse--""What''s the good of talking of''reason''--or excuse''?"
13501But the boy had said vehemently that he could n''t and would n''t go alone, and who could go with him?
13501But to me"--He paused, beginning again in another tone--"Duggy, do n''t be offended with me-- but did you ever want to marry Lady Constance Bledlow?
13501But what could ever give Radowitz back his art-- his career-- his natural object in life?
13501But what difference did it make in the quality of the Marmion outrage, or to any sane judgment of Douglas Falloden?
13501But what use was anything, if after all, as Radowitz vowed, she was in love with Douglas Falloden?
13501But what''s the good of statements?
13501But what''s the good of talking?
13501But when friends-- suppose we take the old path under the wall?
13501But where else could I put them?"
13501But who''s to know?"
13501But why did n''t he tell me of that Greek lesson?"
13501But why had God-- if there was a God-- brought this wonderful thing to pass?
13501But would n''t Mrs. Hooper bring you?"
13501But--""But what?"
13501By the way"--he turned to her--"are you a Christian?"
13501CHAPTER V"You do have the oddest ways,"said Nora, perched at the foot of her cousin''s bed;"why do you stay in bed to breakfast?"
13501Ca n''t you see her black silk stockings-- and her new hat with those awfully pretty flowers, made of feathers?
13501Can you deny-- that you have given me some reason to hope-- since we met again-- to hope confidently, that you might change your mind?
13501Catholicism with us Poles is partly religion, partly patriotism-- do you understand?
13501Constance laughed, fidgeted, and at last said, rather defiantly--"It''s sometimes a merit to be disliked, is n''t it?
13501Could not the gods have devised a subtler retribution?
13501Could she ever make Nora understand the situation?
13501Did n''t we say the 12th of January?"
13501Did you get a nap?"
13501Did you think it would be in Russian?
13501Did you wish to see them?"
13501Do n''t you know that girls nowadays-- babes in the schoolroom-- know the value of everything?
13501Do n''t you see-- what--""What my aunts will think?"
13501Do you ever think how full the world is of sheer pleasure-- small and great?"
13501Do you know him, Aunt Ellen?"
13501Do you know him?"
13501Do you know, last night Falloden and I had a glorious talk?
13501Do you like it?"
13501Do you remember that lovely French poem of Sully Prudhomme''s I read you one night--''_Le Vase Brisé_''?
13501Do you remember when I said to you I loathed him?"
13501Do you see what she gave me to- day?"
13501Does Aunt Ellen like Ryde?
13501Douglas, you think there''ll be a few thousands over, do n''t you, besides your mother''s settlement, when it''s all done?"
13501Dreadfully sad of course, and you know him well enough to go and see him in bed?
13501Falloden?
13501Falloden?"
13501Falloden?"
13501Falloden?"
13501Falloden?"
13501Falloden?"
13501First-- how was it that Connie had come back so soon?
13501Five miles away, in this same evening glow, was Constance Bledlow walking or sitting in her aunts''garden?
13501For after all what had his efforts amounted to?
13501For how could he saddle Connie''s life with such a charge-- or darken it with such a tragedy?
13501For whom are you posing now?"
13501Funny, is n''t it?
13501Had he been of the slightest service or consolation to Radowitz during that time?
13501Had she not given him a right to make the appeal?
13501Had she put on her white dress, had she made herself a vision of freshness and charm, for the poor boy''s sake?
13501Had she realised that what she had said implied a good deal?--or might be thought to imply it?
13501Had some sleep?
13501Had they really any meaning?
13501Has he said anything?"
13501Has n''t he come in?"
13501Has she come to live in Oxford for a time?
13501Have n''t we had a golden time?"
13501Have the moralists ever had their way with youth and sex in their first turbulent hour?
13501Have you been doing some Greek already?--stealing a march on me?"
13501Have you been here long?"
13501Have you had enough tea, and will you come and see my books?"
13501Have you?"
13501He considered it-- then said doubtfully:"Suppose you provide the records?--the things it plays?
13501He feels his first duty is to the college?"
13501He turned with forced gaiety at the sight of Falloden--"Well, did you meet them on the road?"
13501He would like to send a message through her to Radowitz-- to say something-- What could he say?
13501His mother?
13501Hooper?--if I am to see anything of you?
13501How are you going to get a First I should like to know, with your head full of bills, and no sleep at nights?"
13501How are you now?
13501How are you?
13501How can I let you give me money?"
13501How can any human being, and with no trouble at all apparently, be so unselfish, so self- controlled?
13501How could any of us know those broken pipes were there?"
13501How could he know I should hurt myself?
13501How could such a hard, proud being attract her?
13501How could they live with nothing but the London house to call their own?
13501How could they?
13501How could you go on living with us?
13501How do I know that I shall get on at the bar?"
13501How do you do, Lady Constance?
13501How had it come about?
13501How is your father?
13501How long had he been there?
13501How long was it since she had first set foot in England and Oxford?
13501I have some of those nice things we bought at Syracuse-- your father and I-- do you remember?
13501I hope you''ll let Mrs. Hooper bring you to tea to meet them?
13501I say, did you ask us both to come-- on purpose-- that afternoon?--in the garden?"
13501I say-- how many nights have you been awake lately?"
13501I suppose Otto Radowitz has been talking Poland to you?"
13501I thought I heard him mention somebody?''
13501I was glad because I suppose-- doesn''t everybody suppose?"
13501I wonder why?"
13501If I take the Lawley road, does that go anywhere near Flood?"
13501If ever there was a climber!--But what does Miss Hooper say?"
13501If he asked her to marry him again, as he had asked her to marry him before, would she now say yes, instead of no?
13501If he does lose all his money, and have to work like anybody else, what does it matter?
13501If other men could make three or four thousand a year within three years or so of being called, why not he?
13501If other things went, why not they?
13501Is Uncle Ewen in the study?
13501Is n''t he a jolly boy?"
13501Is n''t it wonderful?
13501Is n''t this a scandalous time to call?
13501Is that what you mean?"
13501Is this the same?
13501It ca n''t do anything-- can it, for his poor starved self?"
13501It was horrid-- horrid-- to do such things!--but what other way was there?
13501May I ask if you are doing any work?"
13501May I call you Constance?"
13501May I come and call?"
13501May Nora come too?--if she wishes?
13501May n''t I learn something?"
13501May the doctor come in?"
13501Meanwhile he asked himself what could have taken the Hooper party to the Christ Church barge?
13501Miss Wenlock put up a soothing hand--"Dear Sarah, are you thinking of any one?"
13501Most of us run away from our troubles, do n''t we?"
13501Mother, do you want me to get a decent degree, or do you not?"
13501Must I go back?
13501My dear Ewen, do you know what I discovered last night?"
13501Next Wednesday?
13501Now then"--he changed the subject with a smile--"are you going to enjoy your winter term?"
13501Now, would he take his revenge?
13501Oh, by the way, do you know Meyrick?
13501Oh, do n''t you know?
13501Or was she nearer still-- at Penfold Rectory, just beyond the moor he was climbing, the old rectory- house where Sorell and Radowitz were staying?
13501Or what do you say to a winter in California?
13501PART II CHAPTER XI"So, Connie, you do n''t want to go out with me this afternoon?"
13501Pryce?"
13501Queer, is n''t it?"
13501Queer, was n''t it?
13501Radowitz!--the musician?
13501Radowitz?
13501Shall I be awake?
13501Shall I run down now-- and fetch some one?"
13501Shall I take a message to the house?"
13501Shall I teach you?"
13501Shall I tell you something?"
13501Shall we go and get some lemonade?
13501Shall we sample it?"
13501Shall we say Thursday, then?--for our ride?"
13501She wants me to do something-- to take some step-- but what?"
13501She would marry him; and then what would he, Otto, matter to her or to Falloden any longer?
13501Silly, was n''t it?--childish?"
13501Sorell?"
13501Sorell?"
13501Sorell?"
13501Suppose Herbert and Vernon and all her other friends, were to give up being"nice"to her as soon as Connie Bledlow appeared?
13501Suppose I felt like that again, towards--""Towards me?"
13501Suppose I get off?
13501Suppose she was going to be altogether cut out and put in the background?
13501Surely the brow and eyes were beautiful-- shaped for high thought, and generous feeling?
13501That I think is what you mean?"
13501That does n''t matter-- does it?
13501That kind of thing gets well quickly, does n''t it?"
13501That you might undo it all?
13501The end?
13501The reverse seemed to be the case, and he pondered it with irritation...."Oh, Duggy, is n''t it ripping?"
13501The thought crossed Falloden''s mind--"Did she arrange this?"
13501Then Connie said-- with difficulty--"Did-- did Mr. Falloden write?
13501Then he paused, his eyes on the grass, till he raised them to say abruptly:"You heard about it all-- from Radowitz?"
13501Then why these long delays, these endless discomforts and humiliations?
13501Then-- eyeing Constance--"You know, of course, that you are good- looking?"
13501They moved on a few steps in silence, till Connie said eagerly--"Have you any news from Paris?"
13501They talked only that they might laugh together-- hear each other''s voices, look into each other''s eyes--"Where did you ride this morning?"
13501This England, with her stored wealth, and her command of the seas-- must she always stand between Germany and her desires?
13501Thursday?--before the Eights?
13501To Marmion?
13501To- morrow then, at four o''clock before chapel?"
13501To- morrow?"
13501Undo it?
13501Was Sorell winning her?
13501Was he thinking of Parliament?
13501Was it a breach?--or would it all be made up that very night at the Magdalen ball?
13501Was it because Mr. Herbert Pryce seemed to take a mysterious pleasure in pointing out her, charms to Alice?
13501Was it possible the world contained such mean and treacherous monsters?
13501Was it that morning that he had helped Nora to translate a few lines of the"Antigone"?
13501Was it to be Ella Risborough''s legacy to him-- this futile yearning to help-- to watch over-- her orphaned child?
13501Was it-- first-- her account of her Greek lessons with Sorell?
13501Was n''t it good fortune for me that he happens to be my friend?"
13501Was n''t that why you brought me here?
13501Was she after all in love with him?
13501Was she in love with him?
13501Was that really the stout, podgy schoolgirl, who had already, by virtue of her strong personality, made a certain impression in the university town?
13501Was that shrunken, stooping figure really his father?
13501Was that the thought-- the tragic and touching thought-- in the boy''s mind?
13501Was there then a kind of calculated charity in his act also-- but aiming in his case at an eternal reward?
13501Was this really Douglas Falloden-- this grave, courteous man-- without a trace of the"blood"upon him?
13501We owe you a great deal, Lady Constance-- or-- perhaps now-- I may call you Constance?"
13501We shall take her, of course--""Have you asked her?"
13501We take her with us, for instance, to the Vice- Chancellor''s to- night?"
13501Well, Duggy, ready to go to bed?"
13501Well, now,--I wonder-- I wonder where Nora keeps those statements that Alice talks about?"
13501Were they Falloden''s gift?
13501What are these notes, mother?"
13501What could they do?
13501What did I want with it?
13501What did she know of him after all?
13501What did the doctor say to you?"
13501What did the plight of its last owner matter to it, or to the woods and hills?
13501What did the words mean?
13501What do places matter?
13501What do you mean?"
13501What do you think?"
13501What does Fanning say?"
13501What else should bring a young man and a young woman riding in Lathom Woods at that time in the morning?
13501What foolish quixotry-- what jealousy for an ideal-- had made him run this hideous risk of offending her?
13501What girl could give two such rendezvous to a man, and not admit some right on his part to advise, to influence her?
13501What had delivered him?
13501What had happened to him?
13501What had happened to him?
13501What had happened to the light?
13501What had he done to help him through his college life-- to"influence him for good,"as people said?
13501What had really made him consent to take up daily life with the man to whom he owed his disaster?
13501What indeed had anybody but himself to do with his own malignant and murderous impulse towards Radowitz?
13501What is he doing now-- at this moment?
13501What is he thinking of?"
13501What keeps us apart?
13501What kind of qualities had Falloden to fit him for such a task?
13501What matter, if he made peace with his own soul?
13501What miraculous good- fortune had brought him, ahead of all his rivals, into this still unravaged hive?
13501What on earth had she to do with Sorell?
13501What possible justification had he, Sorell, for any sort of interference in this quarter?
13501What shall I get for it?
13501What shall I say?"
13501What then?
13501What was it, he asked himself, complacently, that gave her such a delicate distinction?
13501What was the matter?
13501What was the row about?"
13501What was the use?
13501What was there in the grave and slightly frowning face that drew her through all repulsion?
13501What was there indeed to tickle anybody''s vanity in the situation?
13501What were they trying to do, poor dears!--Nora, and Uncle Ewen?
13501What will any woman do who falls in love with him?
13501What''s it worth?"
13501What-- with the Hoopers?
13501When Palloden and Constance believed themselves to be absorbed in Otto, were they not really playing the great game of sex like any ordinary pair?
13501When am I to try her?"
13501When did any of those people ever take any notice of us?"
13501When he did see her, what could they talk about?
13501When he left the room Radowitz broke out--"Is n''t he like a god?"
13501When will you come?"
13501Where has my party gone to?"
13501Where have you sprung from?
13501Where is she staying?"
13501Where''s my son-- Douglas?
13501Where''s my son?
13501Who are you?"
13501Who is she staying with?"
13501Who is she?"
13501Who was that approaching?
13501Who was to tell her?
13501Who''ll ever attack England?
13501Who''s that?
13501Why are n''t we in Paris-- or Warsaw-- where I could call him out?"
13501Why could n''t they sell off the land, and keep the house and the park?
13501Why did n''t Annette get a man?"
13501Why did she see so much of Sorell?
13501Why did you?
13501Why do n''t they kick''em over?"
13501Why does n''t he ride with you sometimes, as he chose your horse?"
13501Why ever wo n''t you wear it?"
13501Why had she written to him?
13501Why indeed should she?
13501Why on earth had his mother brought the children?
13501Why should Radowitz take the trouble, after his long and exhausting experience, to come round by the Scarfedale manor- house?
13501Why should he go out of his way to make himself a show for all these eyes?
13501Why should n''t Connie give her a dress-- and you too?
13501Why should n''t I?"
13501Why should people learn such a lot of useless things?
13501Why should she wish to be introduced to such an old fogey?
13501Why should we have to listen to him?
13501Why should you?
13501Why should you?"
13501Why was he lying in this strange, stiff position, propped up with pillows?
13501Why would n''t Douglas listen to her?
13501Why would n''t he take her advice?
13501Why?
13501Will he ever ask me to tea?
13501Will you come again?"
13501Will you come to lunch with me soon?
13501Will you come, Lady Connie?"
13501Will you promise?"
13501Will you three follow when you like?"
13501Wo n''t my mother be chaperon enough?"
13501Wo n''t you like to know that he is composing a symphony for his degree?
13501Would Connie really engage herself to that horrid man?
13501Would it, however, have seemed of any great importance to him now, but for Constance Bledlow''s horror- struck recoil?
13501Would n''t you have let her help?
13501Would they be angry with her?
13501Would you care to ride in Lathom Woods?
13501Yes-- it''s settled!--or it will be directly-- and nobody need bother any more-- need they?
13501You ca n''t say he''s not good- looking?"
13501You call that a little thing?"
13501You did like Douglas, did n''t you?"
13501You have a key?"
13501You know Mr. Sorell has taken a cottage for him at Boar''s Hill-- above Hinksey?"
13501You said I might have a horse, Uncle Ewen, did n''t you?"
13501You think I can always make myself do what I wish?"
13501You think I have been behaving badly?"
13501You''ll lend him to us, wo n''t you?"
13501You''re going, of course?
13501You''re sure he does n''t want to see me?"
13501he used to say--''what else do the beggars want?''
13501it was asking-- helplessly-- of the distant man;"and can I-- dare I-- give it?"
13501just because I was sorry for them-- or for some one else?"
13501said Pryce,"and Miss Nora, will you have a cushion in the bows?
13501said Sorell in a low voice--"what are you after now?"
13501she said in a kind of desperation, wringing her hands;"but why are some pleasures worse than pain-- much worse?"
13501where on earth have you sprung from?
