31265Gladys joined him half an hour later, and asked abruptly:"What did Aunt Hannah say to you?"
31265Have you seen anything of Gladys?"
31265I wonder if that little bit of a woman expects I''ll pay for breakfast?"
31265Is n''t he a perfect beauty?

31265Say, it''s mighty fine, ai n''t it?"
31265Say, why ca n''t I get the cow?"
31265Seth''s face reddened, and he stammered not a little in reply:"I reckon that cow would make it kind''er lively for strangers, would n''t he?"
31265That they were a very happy family goes without saying, for who could be discontented or fretful in Aunt Hannah''s home?
31265Then the little woman gave free rein to her curiosity, by asking:"Where are you going, my boy?"
31265What can I do?"
31265What do you think of settling down to being a farmer?"
31265What''s he swingin''that newspaper''round his head for?"
31265Where can Snip an''I go?
31265Why did you leave the city, my child?"
31265With three spare rooms in the house and hardly ever a visitor to use one of them, why could n''t he have a bed here?"
31265Wo n''t you please hurry?"
31265Would you be contented to stay here for a while, my dear?"
23292''For Heaven''s sake, Williams, what have you got in that box?'' 23292 ''Have you any money?''
23292A card, eh? 23292 A rag rug, now-- why would n''t that be a good thing?
23292A whole lot?
23292Ai n''t he the brainy one, though? 23292 Ai n''t there anything we could do to help out?
23292Ai n''t there nothin''I can donate?
23292And I can count on you?
23292And now the telephone was actually launched?
23292And the current interrupters?
23292And what about wireless?
23292And why, pray, should he object?
23292And you''re not afraid to stay way off here by yourself?
23292And your boy-- if he does not go on with his studies shall you have him enter the factories?
23292And your daughters are working?
23292Any pickerel holes where you lived?
23292Anything more you want to say to me?
23292Are n''t you tired?
23292Are you in bed, son?
23292But are n''t there boats at the landing?
23292But hang it all-- why do you want to balk and torment me so?
23292But is n''t it going to cost a fortune to do the thing as you want it done?
23292But was n''t it a pity?
23292But you prefer the science?
23292By telegraph?
23292Ca n''t you, Laurie?
23292Cross your heart?
23292Did I say I wanted a telephone?
23292Did I? 23292 Did he get it to work?"
23292Did n''t he ever meet any successful inventors?
23292Did n''t you hear them say that it was the bursting of the Melton reservoir which was largely responsible for this catastrophe? 23292 Did you get where you could take messages?"
23292Do n''t you ever eat anything, kid?
23292Do n''t you remember how long Alexander Graham Bell, the inventor of the telephone, experimented before he got results?
23292Do you like haying?
23292Do you recall the white mice you had once, Laurie, and how they got loose and ran all over the house?
23292Do you think so, sir?
23292Do-- do-- you really mean I may use the current for experiments?
23292Does that convince you, Cronin?
23292Ever tried landlocked salmon?
23292Find it? 23292 Had they made any long- distance trials up to this time?"
23292Have n''t I been decent?
23292Have n''t I fallen in with every idea you''ve suggested? 23292 Have n''t you a tongue in your head?
23292Have you done it to your satisfaction?
23292Have you indeed, sir?
23292How am I ever going to get well, or think I am well, if you keep reminding me every minute that I am a helpless wreck? 23292 How did they manage the lectures?"
23292How did you happen to go into that?
23292How much do you get in the shipping room?
23292How old are you?
23292How''s that?
23292How?
23292I am kinder going round in a circle, ai n''t I?
23292I ca n''t for the life of me understand how he knew what he wanted to do, can you?
23292I do n''t believe we could live without telephones now, do you?
23292I have n''t been mixed up in as many of these jobs as you have and is it surprising that I''m a mite nervous? 23292 I need n''t have taken so much trouble after all, need I?
23292I suppose they kept remodelling the telephones all the time after that, did n''t they?
23292If you do n''t like it, why are you so anxious to do it now?
23292Is n''t he the mind reader?
23292Is there any way of lifting the water gates at the mills?
23292It must all have been great fun, must n''t it?
23292It seems a shame Mr. Bell should have had to take his time to do that, does n''t it?
23292Mercy on us, Ted, what under the sun have you been doing until this time of night?
23292My dear boy, you do not for an instant suppose that the telephones of that period had bells, do you?
23292Now however do you suppose he guessed it?
23292O. K."You''ve got it straight in your head what you are to do?
23292Oh-- why----"Should you like to?
23292Only you know we never do----"Leave me? 23292 Shall I-- do you mean that I am to go over there after work to- night?"
23292So he stole time for electrical work, too, did he?
23292So that outfit was yours, was it?
23292So you are starting out housekeeping, are you?
23292Still, I''m not certain that I ought to----"Leave me? 23292 The ground is some way down, ai n''t it?"
23292Then what happened?
23292Then your notion would be to plant time bombs at the factories so they will go off in the night?
23292There is no way you could come up here and live, is there, Ted?
23292Turner? 23292 Vermont, eh?"
23292Was n''t it lucky there were no labor unions in those days?
23292Well, then, why hesitate?
23292Well?
23292Were people killed?
23292Were these transmitters and receivers made from electromagnets and strips of flat steel, as you told us the other day?
23292Were you?
23292What are you three conspirators up to?
23292What chance had we to talk in a crowded boarding- house whose very walls had ears? 23292 What did Mr. Bell do about it?"
23292What did you do in electricity?
23292What do you want, youngster?
23292What if he does? 23292 What kind of a bed have you got?"
23292What makes you so hard on a feller, Alf?
23292What was it?
23292What was it?
23292What''s a thing like that? 23292 What''s the matter with your staying on at Pine Lea and having your lessons with Laurie and Mr. Hazen instead?"
23292What''s the sense of running our heads into a noose by landing?
23292When you pile it up that way it does sound like a pretty big debt, does n''t it?
23292Where are you?
23292Where did persons get what they wanted?
23292Where did you live before you came here?
23292Where did you live?
23292Where''d you learn to handle that fork, sonny?
23292Where''s your backbone?
23292Where, for example, did Mr. Bell get his things?
23292Where?
23292Who can tell where it all may lead? 23292 Who can tell?
23292Why do n''t you try for a job up at Aldercliffe, my lad?
23292Why in the name of goodness did n''t you say so? 23292 Why waste all this time?
23292Why, are n''t you expecting to be an engineer or something?
23292Why-- what in goodness have you done to the place? 23292 Would n''t you like me to wheel you back through the grove?"
23292Would you like to go to college if you could?
23292Would you-- would you care to come inside the shack?
23292Yes, it was like magic, was it not?
23292You do like it then?
23292You like it?
23292You like your quarters then?
23292You mean I could go right ahead now?
23292You understand the dangers of running too many volts through your body and of crossing wires, do n''t you?
23292You would n''t be timid about sleeping off there by yourself?
23292You''d like it?
23292You''ll really have it put in, Dad?
23292You''re Ted Turner, are n''t you?
23292You''re not going to back out or squeal?
23292You''re ready to stick it out, then?
23292''How will you do that?''
23292A baby?
23292Ai n''t I right here and ready?"
23292All is, should we ask of you some little extra service now and then, I am sure you will willingly perform it, wo n''t you?"
23292And must the telephone be shut away from the public and never take its place of service in the great world?
23292And so you have been taking up electricity at school, eh?"
23292And the andirons, too?"
23292And the telephone?"
23292And what are you working at in school that is so alluring?"
23292And what said Laurie''s mother?
23292And why was his own vague sadness reflected in Laurie''s eyes and in those of Mr. Hazen?
23292And would n''t you like some curtains?
23292And you came from Newfane here?
23292And your curtains came from home, too?"
23292Any hope in the place?"
23292Anything you want to say to me?"
23292Are n''t you improving the Fernald property, I''d like to know?"
23292Are you here?"
23292Bell?"
23292But how are you going to get along?
23292But now what was the use?
23292But what choice had he?
23292But----""Well, why not give in and let me have this one thing as I want it?
23292By and by, however, Grandfather Fernald observed:"Do n''t you think, Clarence, Turner''s pay should be increased?
23292CHAPTER X WHAT CAME AFTERWARD"Was that first telephone like ours?"
23292Charity-- when we owe the life of our boy, the lives of many of our workmen, the safety of our mills to your son?"
23292Come, brace up, ca n''t you?"
23292Consequently when he ventured to say,"I wonder if somebody would help me with this harrow?"
23292Could any gifts be rarer?
23292Could it be that the contrivance which worked so promisingly in the Boston rooms would not work under these other conditions?
23292Cut along and get the book, ca n''t you?
23292Did n''t that come from Vermont?
23292Do n''t I know it?
23292Do n''t you want to see if you ca n''t get him started on it?
23292Do you mean there would be a chance that Laurie could walk sometime?"
23292Do you mean to stand by me and see this thing to a finish or do n''t you?"
23292Do you suppose I would go on with a scheme like this and leave you wandering round to blab broadcast whatever you thought fit?"
23292Do you want to go ahead or do n''t you?
23292Had he knocked out the entire circuit or what had he done in his fit of temper?
23292Has n''t he told you?"
23292Have n''t I told you I will invent some yarn to put him off the scent?
23292Have you ever tried singing a note into this instrument when the sustaining pedal is depressed?
23292He stopped an instant to glance into the boy''s face then added kindly,"So you think you are going to like your new quarters, eh?"
23292He''s a Fernald and because he is----""But he is n''t to blame for that, is he?"
23292Holmes, what is that play toy you have taken the liberty of putting up out there in the banking room?''
23292How are we ever to put this thing over if you do n''t pull yourself together?
23292How came you to think of window- boxes?"
23292How could they?
23292How did he ever get the idea in the first place?"
23292How did you happen to do that?"
23292How lengthy a circuit do you expect to cover?"
23292How would the notion strike you?"
23292How''ll that be?"
23292I have n''t stood out for a single thing but this, have I?"
23292I suppose you do n''t get through much before five, do you?"
23292If Mr. Wharton ran the electric wires over to the shack, what was to prevent him from utilizing the current for some of his own contrivances?
23292If you swear to stand by me and do n''t do it, your miserable life wo n''t be worth a farthing-- understand?
23292If you''ll say the word, I''ll start right in to- night after work and----""Why wait until to- night?"
23292Immediately there was a cry from Mr. Bell who rushed into the hall, exclaiming,''What did you do then?
23292In the face of such entreaty who could have remained obdurate?
23292It is like ink, is n''t it?
23292It was strange that a little sigh accompanied the thought for had he not always looked forward to this very prospect?
23292Might there not be another Morse sounder somewhere about?
23292Must he be drowned there all alone?
23292Must he lie there and be borne along until he was at last carried over the dam at his father''s mills?
23292One day when Mr. Watson called from his end of the line,''How do you do?''
23292Or on the village streets?
23292Or was it that the force of the vibration filtered off at each insulator along the line until it became too feeble to be heard?
23292Suppose a twig should crack beneath his feet and warn the vandals of his approach?
23292Ted Turner?"
23292Ted will be here before long, wo n''t he?
23292The directness of the lad evidently pleased the elder man for he answered more kindly:"It is quiet here, is n''t it?
23292The psychological reaction was too much for many a well- poised individual and I do not wonder it was, do you?"
23292The room is actually a pretty one, is n''t it?
23292Then I have quite a while to wait, do n''t I?
23292They were working together and for the same goal and what did it matter which of them had proposed the scheme they finally followed?
23292Was any spot on earth so still as this?
23292Was n''t there a wire spring round here somewhere, Ruth?
23292Was not studying the thing he had longed to be free to do?
23292Was success to be sacrificed now that the goal was well within sight?
23292Was the contest to be a losing one, after all?
23292Was there no one to aid him?
23292Were you sorry to give up farming?"
23292What could it be?
23292What did men use to fill up such a mighty receptacle, anyway?
23292What did you do to get rid of them when you were up in Vermont?"
23292What do you say to the notion?"
23292What do you think I am, Hazen?
23292What does the man think you are-- a millionaire?"
23292What is he to you?"
23292What luck did you have with it?"
23292What man in all Freeman''s Falls could have envied him if acquainted with all the conditions of his life?
23292What on earth is going to happen to me, I''d like to know?"
23292What time is it?"
23292What use was it then ever again to attempt to be austere and unapproachable Fernalds?
23292What use will it be to take the old men of the family if the young one still lives on?"
23292What was he to do?
23292What was the matter now?
23292What was to be done?
23292What will you do for food?
23292What''s a telephone?''
23292What''s the use of harrowing their feelings all up now that the thing is past and done with?"
23292What''s your idea?
23292Where did you get your candlesticks and your andirons?"
23292Who could be navigating the river at this hour of the night?
23292Who could tell?
23292Who knows but I may make Freeman''s Falls a better place in consequence?
23292Who knows but he may be an embryo genius?
23292Why ca n''t I go down to the village now?
23292Why ca n''t I?"
23292Why ca n''t you be decent and come across?"
23292Why ca n''t you treat me like other people?
23292Why could n''t we build a handsome bridge and then develop that unused area by putting up some decent houses for our people?
23292Why did n''t you fend her off as I told you to?"
23292Why did n''t you say so in the first place?
23292Why not make it into curtains and do away with buying window shades?"
23292Why this regret and depression?
23292Why waste all this time fussing?"
23292Why would n''t that be the very thing?
23292With money enough to do whatever one pleased, how could a person help being happy?
23292Would it be well to call up the Fernalds, or telephone to the mills, or to the village, and give warning of the conditions?
23292Would the Fernalds want him next season and again offer him the boathouse for a home?
23292You are for destroying the mills, eh?"
23292You know that, do n''t you?"
23292You like to pay your bills, do n''t you?"
23292You would n''t like to have some one dogging your footsteps from morning until night, would you?"
23292You''re not getting cold feet so soon, are you?"
8994''So you are come, Zuleika?'' 8994 ''What''s that?''
8994A tumble? 8994 Am I really going to get well?"
8994And how''s your Pa?
8994And this?
8994Are n''t you glad she''s gone?
8994Are there any other studies in the School, Cousin Helen?
8994But does n''t it make Cousin Helen feel bad, when she sees them walking about and enjoying themselves, and she ca n''t move?
8994But how did it happen that the string was off?
8994But how did you get in?
8994But how do_ you_ do it?
8994But how?
8994But what is the school?
8994But what made Aunt Izzie keep you, Katy?
8994But what would you do first?
8994But where were you?
8994But why must you wait till you get well?
8994Ca n''t you tell by the taste? 8994 Can it be that one of the children has got out of bed and wandered up stairs in her sleep?"
8994Can you move this leg?
8994Cousin Helen''s going to stay three weeks this time-- isn''t that nice?
8994Dear, dear, what on earth will come next? 8994 Did I wake you up, Katy?"
8994Did Papa eat any dinner?
8994Did n''t I tell you?
8994Did that hurt you?
8994Did the rope break, Aunt Izzie? 8994 Did you ever see the Brigand again?"
8994Did you have a good time?
8994Did you see that?
8994Do n''t you see that it''s raining? 8994 Do n''t you see?
8994Do n''t you think St. Valentine would be tired of writing verses?
8994Do what? 8994 Do you like it?"
8994Do you really like to have me here?
8994Do you really think I could do so too?
8994Do you see them often?
8994Do you suppose she will want us to say hymns to her all the time?
8994Do you think I shall ever be able to do it again?
8994Does he really?
8994Does it hurt you so bad?
8994Gone away where?
8994Has n''t he reformed?
8994Has n''t it been a funny evening?
8994Have you, really?
8994His tender Mamma Heard the sound from afar, And hastened to comfort her child;''What aileth my John?'' 8994 How could you let him take your clock again?"
8994How did I hurt me when I tumbled out of the swing?
8994How do I know,she concluded,"that before I come home you wo n''t have set the house on fire, or killed somebody?"
8994How do you know she''s so sweet and self- denying, if you''ve known her such a short time?
8994How do you manage to be so sweet and beautiful and patient, when you''re feeling badly all the time, and ca n''t do anything, or walk, or stand?
8994How is Alex?
8994How is Aunt Izzie?
8994How long have I been sick?
8994How long will I have to stay there, doctor?
8994How long?
8994How? 8994 How?"
8994If I were a bee And you were a bee, What would we do? 8994 If I were a bird And you were a bird, What would we do?
8994If I were a fish And you were a fish, What would we do? 8994 In your back, eh?
8994Is Aunt Izzie a''thing?''
8994Is it yours, Cousin Helen?
8994Is n''t Katy sweet?
8994Is n''t a nice''prise?
8994Is n''t it beau- ti- ful?
8994Is n''t it fun?
8994Is n''t it horrid?
8994Is n''t it splendid to have vacation come?
8994Is n''t it the same thing?
8994Is n''t it wicked to care about clothes when you''re sick?
8994Is she as pretty as she used to be?
8994Is she very sick?
8994Is there really any fairy?
8994Katy,she said at last,"has Papa told you that he thinks you are going to get well by and by?"
8994Might n''t I stay just till the dinner- bell rings?
8994No,said Katy, slowly,"I was only thinking-- Cousin Helen, is it worldly to have pretty things when you''re sick?"
8994Now we''ll have a nice quiet time all by ourselves, wo n''t we? 8994 Oh, do n''t you know, Debby?
8994Oh, how? 8994 Oh, is n''t it lovely to think there wo n''t be any school to- morrow?
8994Oh, must I go to bed?
8994Oh, was I?
8994Oh, what?
8994Oh, who_ do_ you suppose sent it?
8994Papa,she said, after dinner,"who is Alex, that you and Cousin Helen were talking about?"
8994Sha''n''t I fetch you the pincushion too, while I''m there?
8994Shall I?
8994She looks just like other people, do n''t she?
8994So this is Katy? 8994 The what?"
8994Then you called out,''Who is there?'' 8994 Was it?"
8994Was n''t Dorry funny with his turkey?
8994We wo n''t tell Papa and Mamma till she''s quite grown up,Katy said to Clover;"then we''ll bring her down stairs, and_ wo n''t_ they be surprised?
8994We''ll be real good to her when she does, wo n''t we?
8994Well, my dear,she said, as she plumped herself into the rocking- chair,"and how do you do?"
8994Well, what next?
8994Well-- did you know that you had a long bone down your back, called a spine?
8994Were_ you_ once little too?
8994What ails the child? 8994 What are the lessons?"
8994What are you all going to do to- day?
8994What are you all going to do? 8994 What are you stopping for?"
8994What did Philly want?
8994What did you write, Phil?
8994What do you suppose she looks like?
8994What have you been about all day?
8994What have you been doing to them, Helen?
8994What is that?
8994What is that?
8994What made you wear it?
8994What put that idea into your head?
8994What shall we do now?
8994What shall we do without Aunt Izzie?
8994What sort of things?
8994What''ll you be, Johnnie?
8994What''s in the bottle?
8994What''s that for?
8994What''s that?
8994What''s that?
8994What''s the matter?
8994What''s the matter?
8994What?
8994What?
8994What_ can_ be going to happen? 8994 What_ does_ this mean?"
8994When_ is_ Aunt Izzie going to get well?
8994Where is my poor little Elsie?
8994Where_ have_ you been?
8994Which path shall we go in by?
8994Who are you, child?
8994Who can that be?
8994Who on earth have the children got in the parlor?
8994Who on earth is Imogen Clark? 8994 Who on earth_ are_ you?"
8994Who, the moon?
8994Why did n''t you ask me before, Little Scholar?
8994Why do n''t you make her wait till morning?
8994Why not?
8994Why, Cousin Helen, what can I do lying here in bed?
8994Why, Elsie, darling, what''s the matter? 8994 Why, Katy?
8994Why, how did you suppose we were going to arrange it? 8994 Why, what_ can_ this be?"
8994Why-- what is Bridget doing in Papa''s room?
8994Why?
8994Will there be plenty of time to learn the new exercise before Miss Phillips comes, if you do?
8994''Corregidor''--what does it mean?"
8994''The Shadow of the Cross''--was that it?
8994A pretty good dinner, was it not?
8994After she had rested a while, she said:"Is the fever well now, Papa?
8994Ai n''t some of you young folks coming out to see me one of these days?
8994All the children giggled, but Clover got up composedly, and recited the following verses:"Did you ever know Yap?
8994All the time she found herself taking measure of Imogen, and thinking--"Did I ever really like her?
8994Am I going to''Bid a sweet good- bye to Pain?''
8994And if there''s money enough left, Aunty, wo n''t you buy me a real nice book for Dorry, and another for Cecy, and a silver thimble for Mary?
8994And it hurts me to eat Anything that is sweet-- So what_ will_ become of my pie?''
8994And what was that nonsense I heard her telling you about Brigands?"
8994And you wo n''t let Aunt Izzie know, will you?
8994And you would n''t mind if things were a little crooked just at first, would you?
8994Are the girls up there?
8994Are you taking all those medicines in the bottles now?"
8994Are you tired out waiting?
8994Are you very tired?"
8994As she stood on the top step, grasping her flowers, and a little doubtful what to do next, a feeble voice from a bed- room called out:"Who is there?"
8994At last Imogen said:"Do n''t you ever sit in the drawing- room?"
8994Aunt Izzie, who''s coming?
8994But why do you look so puzzled, Katy?
8994CHAPTER VI INTIMATE FRIENDS"Aunt Izzie, may I ask Imogen Clark to spend the day here on Saturday?"
8994CHAPTER X ST. NICHOLAS AND ST. VALENTINE"What are the children all doing to- day?"
8994Ca n''t nightgowns and wrappers be trimmed and made becoming just as much as dresses?
8994Ca n''t you, Izzie?"
8994Can I get up again and go down stairs right away?"
8994Comb your hair?"
8994Day after day she asked Papa with quivering lip:"May n''t I get up and go down stairs this morning?"
8994Did n''t I ever tell you about it?"
8994Did n''t you know that?
8994Did the sun always shine?
8994Did you ever hear the old saying about,''For the want of a nail the shoe was lost''?"
8994Did you forget?"
8994Do n''t you like the fings, Katy?
8994Do n''t you recollect my telling you not to swing to- day?
8994Do n''t you recollect?"
8994Do n''t you think Mr. Bergèr would be willing to come here, Papa?
8994Do n''t you think so?"
8994Do n''t you think so?"
8994Do n''t you think you ought to go and warm them?"
8994Do n''t you want to carry it into Papa''s room and put it back into the table?
8994Do n''t you want to open''em right away?"
8994Do you hear, chicks?
8994Do you know where she''s sewing now?"
8994Do you remember?"
8994Do you see?"
8994Do you suppose, if Katy would excuse me from the rest of my practising, I could get it done?
8994Do you think you can get on as you are for a few days?"
8994Do you want anything?"
8994Does it amoose you, Katy?"
8994Does it seem queer that a vase should travel about in a trunk?"
8994Else, why, when we go to rest good- natured and pleasant, should we wake up so cross?
8994Elsie, do n''t you want to run down stairs and ask Bridget to bring a-- a-- a glass of iced water for Mrs. Worrett?
8994Have you got through practising?
8994How can people be as patient as Cousin Helen when they have to lie still?
8994How could I suspect anything so perfectly delightful?"
8994How had it come?
8994How soon may she, Papa?"
8994I guess that was your doing-- wasn''t it?"
8994I hope I''m not interrupting anything private?"
8994I think it was an_ awful_ punishment, do n''t you?"
8994I wonder how long she''s going to stay?"
8994I wonder, by the way, if anybody will ever be wise enough to tell us which side that is, so that we may always choose the other?
8994Is School going to''let out,''just as Cousin Helen''s hymn said?
8994Is n''t it a nice one?
8994Is there anything else, Cousin Helen?"
8994It was bad for their shoes and trousers, of course, but what of that?
8994Katy dear, do n''t you want to bring that little vase on the bureau and set it on this chair beside me?
8994May I, Katy?
8994May n''t I stop practising now, and bring my crochet up here instead?"
8994May n''t they, Aunt Izzie?
8994Mercy on me, what shiftless thing will you do next?
8994Mrs. Worrett broke down in one the last time she was here-- don''t you recollect?"
8994Not one bit?
8994Not the least tiny, weeny mite?"
8994Now, why could n''t they come up to me when anything is wanted-- just as well as to have me go down to them?
8994Or if I do n''t do that, I''ll paint pictures, or sing, or scalp-- sculp,--what is it?
8994Papa, when are you coming down stairs?
8994Shall I tell you, Katy, what it seems to me that I should say to myself if I were in your place?"
8994She must have spoken in her sleep, for Aunt Izzie half woke up, and said:"What is it?
8994So they all chose in turn,"Which hand will you have, the right or the left?"
8994Stop crying, Elsie-- do you hear me?
8994Then going to the door, she called out,"Children, what are you doing in the parlor?
8994Was I very sick, Papa?"
8994Was ever seven dollars and a quarter expected to do so much?
8994Was it really yesterday that she went away?
8994Was it to be endured?
8994Was the pain high up or low down?"
8994What are you going to do, Katy?"
8994What can we do?"
8994What do you mean to do?"
8994What do you suppose is the reason, Papa?
8994What else?"
8994What ever shall I tell her?"
8994What happened next?"
8994What makes you like her so much?"
8994What makes you want to know?"
8994What on airth_ are_ they going to do now?"
8994What was it that she saw?
8994What_ are_ you moving the things out of the Blue- room for?"
8994When did you get it?"
8994Who knew what the fairies might not have done since any of them had been there to see?
8994Who would have thought such a little speck of a thing as not sewing on my string could make a difference?
8994Who''ll be the next, I wonder?"
8994Will you do this to please me?''
8994Will you please go and remind her that she is not to touch them at all?
8994Will you?"
8994Wo n''t they feel natural soon?"
8994Wo n''t you?
8994Would it hurt your eyes to have a little more light?"
8994Would you like some camphor or anything?"
8994Would you please fetch it and let me see, Aunt Izzie?
8994You will, wo n''t you?
8994You wo n''t mind, will you, dear?"
8994_ Would_ they have to stay there always, and starve?
8994almost screamed Miss Izzie,"what are you about?
8994and"have you got any little girls like me?"
8994asked Elsie, while Clover anxiously questioned:"Are you sure that you did n''t suspect?
8994cried Katy, in dismay,"must we have anybody?"
8994cried Katy,"is Cousin Helen coming this way when she goes home?
8994cried Katy,"wo n''t you run down and ask Philly to come up to me?
8994cried Miss Izzie, wrathfully,"why, what are they there for?"
8994exclaimed Katy, with wide- open eyes,"was it_ you_?"
8994gasped Katy, between her sobs,"does n''t it seem dreadful, that just getting into the swing for a few minutes should do so much harm?
8994he exclaimed;"that''s splendid, is n''t it?"
8994how can you?"
8994is that you?"
8994just here, at the end, is some poetry:"''Come, little dove, with azure wing, And brood upon my breast,''"That''s sweet, ai n''t it?"
8994said Clover, coming in one day in November,"do you know where the camphor is?
8994said Clover,"what does all this mean?
8994said John; and Dorry replied,"Yes; we never had such good times before Katy was sick, did we?"
8994said Katy, looking frightened:"a month more?"
8994said Katy;"what made him think of such a thing?"
8994she cried the first thing,"must I lie here as much as a week?"
8994she exclaimed,"what do you think?
8994she gasped,"wo n''t you please tell Philly not to wash the chickens in the rain- water tub?
8994she thought,"can it really be?
8994sobbed Katy,"how can I bear it?"
8994that will bring it to the seventh of September, wo n''t it?"
8994they say, astonished;"Did you too play?
8994what is that?''
8994why did n''t she?"
8994why must anybody be killed, anyhow?
8994why not have them fall on each other''s necks, and make up?"
8994you have n''t come to take Cousin Helen, have you?"
384A purple book? 384 And The Rat has a plan for giving the signal?"
384And he?
384And left you there and bolted? 384 And they were talking about Samavia?
384And who is this one?
384And you''re_ not_?
384And_ he_ is somewhere? 384 Any chap got a penny?"
384Are their eyes to be offended by the sight of you?
384Are we exiles?
384Are you faint, sir? 384 Are you thinking of that?
384As I did?
384As I planned?
384But I want to know who lives at the Residenz?
384Can you repeat it?
384Can you stand on your foot at all?
384Can you write these things?
384Can you?
384Captain, will you do me that honor?
384Did he? 384 Did it take you so long to find it?"
384Did no one ever find his sword or his cap-- or hear anything or guess anything about him ever-- ever-- ever?
384Did you never get hurt yourself?
384Did you see Mrs. Beedle standing at the top of the basement steps and looking after us when we went out this morning?
384Did you see him? 384 Did you shout?"
384Did you sleep here so that you could see the sun get up?
384Did you think--he said slowly--"did you_ ever_ think that perhaps_ he_ knew where the descendant of the Lost Prince was?"
384Did you wake up and feel sure of it the first thing?
384Do n''t you mind?
384Do n''t you think so yourself?
384Do n''t you want to know anything, you ignorant swine?
384Do you believe he''s found?
384Do you feel sure of that, too?
384Do you know what I mean by a_ place_?
384Do you know what I thought of, all at once?
384Do you know what it would mean, Comrade?
384Do you mean that you''ll look at mine then-- when you have time?
384Do you mean you prayed?
384Do you remember the peasants who came to see your father two nights before you left?
384Do you see my crutches? 384 Do you talk much to your father?"
384Do you think that some time we might be exiles no longer?
384Do you think we might go there together-- and see it-- you and I, Father?
384Do you want the money now?
384Do you want these shoes really, or did you only want me to take your measure?
384Do you want to join the club?
384Does he know much about Samavia?
384Does he live at the Hofburg with the Emperor?
384Does he think there will be a Rising?
384Does he? 384 Does he?"
384Does your father believe it?
384Does your father believe what he told him?
384Draw what he wants? 384 Father,"said Marco,"will you watch The Rat drill us?
384For what?
384Had he a son?
384Had he a son?
384Has he been to Samavia during the last three years?
384Has he taught you to be calm too?
384Have n''t I shown to- night whether I''m a cripple or not?
384Have we got any swells traveling with us this morning?
384Have you never lived there?
384Have you something to say?
384Have_ you_ ever looked for him?
384He has not? 384 He wo n''t, wo n''t he?
384How am I going to hold on to that second law?
384How can any one live higher than this?
384How could she get here?
384How dare you address the young Master?
384How did it come to- night?
384How did it get here?
384How did you find it out?
384How did you get in there?
384How did you know I had n''t?
384How did you know I was my father''s son?
384How did you learn that?
384How do we_ know_?
384How long have you been here?
384How shall I know him?
384I could n''t keep clean when I had a room to live in, and now where am I to wash myself?
384I made that up the first day I invented the party, did n''t I?
384I mean, have you ever been jealous? 384 I want to ask you,"he plunged into his talk at once,"do you think he minds me looking at him so much?
384I want-- isn''t there anything-- anything you''d let me do for him? 384 I wonder where he is, if it''s true?
384I wonder-- what he meant?
384If Stefan Loristan does not know best,he said,"who does?"
384If you passed one in Bond Street or in the Marylebone Road, you would recognize it at once?
384Is it an insult to a man to think he may be a carpenter or make a good suit of clothes? 384 Is n''t it splendid?"
384Is that the way you keep yourself secret? 384 Is that what they call you?"
384Is that why? 384 Is that your father?"
384Is the one who sits with the Emperor an Archduke?
384Is there a newspaper here which tells of the battle, Lazarus?
384Is there room for two inside the shrub?
384Is there so little money left?
384It''s better?
384Jealous,said Marco;"why?"
384Left you?
384Marco,he said, in a rather hoarse voice, a queer voice;"are you jealous?"
384May I go now?
384May I help him to show you?
384May I help you?
384May I speak of you sometimes?
384May we look at them, Madame?
384May we read them yet?
384Might they-- have left me as they threatened?
384My father?
384Oh, may I ask you to do one thing more before you leave me?
384Perhaps you do not understand? 384 Shall I go now?"
384Shall I ring the front- door bell to call some one?
384Shall I walk with you?
384Shall we be in the way?
384Sir,said Lazarus,"will you come with me into his room?
384Sir,said Rastka, as they were entering,"will you stand up that the people may see you?
384So- o?
384Some one who has been_ trained_ to remember things?
384That was all? 384 The Game-- yes, Father?"
384The King-- what will the King do to-- repay him?
384Then you were out in the storm?
384Upon the ledge that night--he said,"Father, you remember--?"
384Was n''t I like a rat?
384Was the work for Samavia?
384Were n''t you?
384Were you cold?
384What are they calling out?
384What are you doing it for?
384What are you doing there listening?
384What are you thinking about?
384What are you thinking of?
384What can he do?
384What can such a poor- looking pair of lads be going to Paris for?
384What did he say?
384What did it call to?
384What did she come for? 384 What did she say?
384What did you do that for?
384What did you do that for?
384What did you say to them?
384What do you know about him?
384What do you mean?
384What do you want?
384What does it mean?
384What does she want to say?
384What does your father think? 384 What have you been doing?
384What if you hate some one and wish you could kill him?
384What if you want something that will harm somebody else?
384What is it? 384 What is she doing here?"
384What is the Law?
384What is the matter? 384 What is the name of the city we are in?"
384What is your name?
384What next, Father?
384What next?
384What next?
384What shall I do?
384What was it you said to them?
384What was the name of the dynasty that ruled before they began fighting? 384 What was the other one?"
384What were you doing in the basement?
384What will it be best to think about first?
384What will she speak?
384What would have been the use? 384 What would you have told your son if you''d been Ivor?"
384What''s he found out?
384What''s he singing?
384What''s the matter?
384What''s the matter?
384What''s the name of the other Samavian party?
384When is he coming back?
384When shall I go?
384When will you let me have my first turn?
384Where are you going?
384Where did you learn it?
384Where do our thoughts go when we are asleep?
384Where is he singing?
384Where is he? 384 Where is he?"
384Where next?
384Where was it your wish to go?
384Where''ll you get the money to travel?
384Who are these, good Mother?
384Who is that?
384Who told him?
384Who will teach him?
384Who will-- who will teach the Lost Prince-- the new King-- when he is found?
384Who would have listened to_ me_?
384Who would not end it if they could?
384Who''s singing?
384Why are you here?
384Why did you say that?
384Why do we not go back and fight? 384 Why not?"
384Why will nothing happen?
384Will yer go on with the game?
384Will you let me come in and talk a bit?
384Will you sit here and rest while I go on further?
384Without you?
384Without you?
384Would it matter that_ I_ was well- trained? 384 Would n''t you mind walking with a cripple?"
384You can tell_ him_ about this, ca n''t you? 384 You did n''t give it?"
384You do know that much, do you? 384 You have passed from one country to another with the message?"
384You have seen him?
384You know how Samavia stands?
384You mean the old fellow knew something that made wild beasts afraid to touch him or any one near him?
384You mean--?
384You read the news as you made your journey?
384You refuse to answer?
384You were out in the storm?
384You were under orders to say those four words?
384You would know these faces wheresoever you saw them?
384You''ll swear you''re not?
384You_ did_ get out, then?
384Young Master Loristan, I want to know if you''ve heard when your father is coming back?
384Your father?
384Yus, where wos''e? 384 _ Do n''t you_?
384_ Now_ how shall we find him?
384_ Who_?
384''Ow far off wos Samavia?
384''_""Draw to himself?"
384''_""Wonder if there''s anything in it?"
384*****"Why did n''t you speak then?"
384After all the places we''ve been to-- what will it look like?"
384Ai n''t there no more?
384Am I not here to go out and look for work?
384And he knew the story of the Lost Prince?"
384And if he could not give it now, where was the one to whom it must be spoken, and what would be the result if that one could not be found?
384And if there were two who were so much alike, how could he be sure?
384And that the crutches helped instead of being in the way?"
384And then added, with a jerky half- laugh,"He''s not much like mine, is he?"
384And who would have got any good out of it?
384And why should they?
384And you know?"
384Any one leaving Windsor or Sandringham to cross from Dover to- day?"
384Are you a gentleman''s son?
384But have you thought how it would be if something betrayed you-- and you were set up against a wall to be_ shot_?"
384But how could such a one as he?
384But the rest of it--?
384But what next?
384But would Marco really tell him?
384But-- you are Marco Loristan?"
384Ca n''t you hear those Samavians shouting, and singing, and praying?
384Can you draw the countries they''d have to pass through?"
384Can you see them?
384Comrade,"to Marco,"are you ready?"
384Could he be rather sorry for him?
384Could he sell newspapers?
384Could it ever be like that-- ever?"
384Could it ever make you feel savage?
384Could n''t you give up something to me?"
384Did I not?"
384Did he?"
384Did men come to talk with your father in the middle of the night when you were in Vienna?"
384Did you come here from Moscow?"
384Did you feel as if--"he turned towards the sofa,"as if something had struck you on the chest?"
384Did you get near enough?"
384Did you go to Budapest from Vienna, and were you there for three months?"
384Do n''t you think he ought, Father?"
384Do n''t you think so?"
384Do n''t you?"
384Do you know what it is like?"
384Do you not?"
384Do you remember the mountain climber who was going to save the shoes he made for the Bearer of the Sign?
384Do you remember them?"
384Do you see?"
384Do you see?"
384Do you think he does?"
384Do you think it is like him?"
384Does he believe it?"
384For what?
384Had he been killed, or had he been hidden away in a dungeon?
384Had it ever been so empty and deadly silent before?
384Has-- has he mended the chain?"
384He courteously lifted his cap and replied in English:"Excuse me?"
384His voice was very low--"do you think that-- sometime-- you could trust me as you trust Marco?
384How can I get the door open?"
384How could I know what had happened?
384How could I know-- unless it''s because I''ve been trying to work that second law?
384How could he bring proof or explain who he was-- and what story dare he tell?
384How could he help it?
384How could he quite believe the evidence of his eyes and ears?
384How could he?
384How did I know?
384How did he learn all this?"
384How did you learn to drill the club?"
384How long did it take?"
384How long have you been here?"
384How old are you?"
384How would the Secret Messengers go to Samavia?
384I am a child but am I not a man also?
384I do n''t look like a hair- dresser now, do I?"
384I mean, are you jealous of-- your father?"
384I say,"speaking to Marco with a sudden change of voice,"can you sing anything?
384I wonder if it would make a chap look different?"
384If angry thoughts in one man''s mind will create anger in the mind of another, why should not sane messages cross the line?
384If it had made me feel savage and I''d rushed in and fought, what would have happened to all of us?"
384If she did this bold thing, what could he say to those she told her lie to?
384Is it that you want to have it now?"
384Is that all there is?"
384Is that not true?"
384Is there enough to pay for another week?"
384It was only a game, but it made them comrades-- and was it really only a game, after all?
384Marco began,"my father is out?"
384May I go for a doctor?"
384May I tell my father your name?"
384Must you comfort him or must you let him go on?
384On a small table?"
384Shall I tell you what I believe has been done?
384Shall I?
384Shall we try now?"
384Should he--?
384Sir, may I beg you to protect me?"
384Sir, silence is still the order, but who knows-- who knows?
384Suppose there should be demons of Maranovitch loose and infuriated in Europe?
384That thine own thought-- when so thou standest-- is one with That which thought the Worlds!_''""What?"
384The Rat now-- how does he strike you?"
384The first words he had heard-- what had they been?
384Then he added after a second or so of silence, just what The Rat had said to himself,"What next?"
384Then she asked in a hesitating way:"Will you not sit down until I do?"
384Then suddenly to Marco,"You were waiting outside while the storm was going on?"
384Then suddenly turning to look at Marco,"Does it ever seem to you as if, perhaps, it-- it was n''t true?"
384Was he being listened to because the plan, made as part of a game, was not an impossible one-- if two boys who could be trusted could be found?
384Was he going to lose them?
384Was he going to sleep without a drunken father near him?
384Was he?
384Was it my place to go off duty and leave you alone-- was it?"
384Was it so every night?
384Was that a right thing to tell them?"
384Was there some remote deep in him from whose darkness a slow light was rising?
384Was this man as tall as the one who had driven with the King?
384Well, how about next week''s rent?"
384Well- trained in what way?
384Were all the kingdoms of the earth going to be given to him?
384What about Samavia?"
384What better excuse could two boys have for lingering about a place?
384What could a crippled lad do unless he begged or sold papers?
384What did I care?
384What did he do with the bribe the Maranovitch gave him for betraying what he knew of the old fortress?
384What did she and her companion want to do-- what could they do if they knew the things they were trying to force him to tell?
384What did she come for?
384What did she threaten?"
384What did they lock these doors in the basement for, and the one on the stairs?
384What did they say to you?"
384What does he think of the rumor about the descendant of the Lost Prince?
384What have you been drawing on that paper?"
384What is it you wish to say, Madam?
384What is the Secret Party doing?"
384What is your name?"
384What must he search for?
384What next?
384What should be done?
384What was his work to be?
384What was the reason?
384What was the second one?"
384What will you answer?
384What would happen next?
384What''s yours?
384When special privation or anxiety beset them, it was their rule to say,"What will it be best to think about first?"
384Where did it come from?"
384Where do you live?"
384Where had he gone-- the Lost Prince?
384Where had his father stood when the King was crowned?
384Where is he?
384Where is he?"
384Where was the prince?
384Where?"
384Who locked you in?
384Who would n''t have liked"ketchin''one"?
384Who would suspect a cripple?
384Who would suspect two boys-- and one of them a cripple?
384Why is she suddenly so curious about us?"
384Why should any of us go?
384Why should it matter that he was well- behaved?
384Will you go this morning?"
384Will you kindly close the door?
384Will you run up- stairs into the drawing- room and bring me the purple book from the small table?
384Will you-- will you?"
384Wos it in Roosha, or where the Frenchies were, or the Germans?
384Would n''t you?"
384XXII THE NIGHT VIGIL XXIII THE SILVER HORN XXIV"HOW SHALL WE FIND HIM?"
384XXIV"HOW SHALL WE FIND HIM?"
384You were to say no more?"
384You''ve seen that they''re as good as legs, have n''t you?
384Your father_ believes_ in it?"
384_ Could_ it matter to Samavia?"
384he is awake, is he?"
384he said, still hoarse and eager--"don''t you mind how much I care for him?
15578A what?
15578After me? 15578 Ai n''t Pale Face Harry come yet, an''where''s the Doc?"
15578Ai n''t no one goin''to drive me out to de Patriarch''s?
15578Ai n''t that other fellow here, neither-- the fellow that was worse''n me?
15578And I know it-- do I? 15578 And did you?"
15578And do you believe then that all who come here will be cured?
15578And do_ all_ the people in Needley believe in the Patriarch?
15578And how about that cough-- can you quit coughing?
15578And if I put skepticism aside?
15578And meanwhile,inquired Thornton-- he had been studying Helena''s profile intently,"would you propose keeping the contributions here?"
15578And shall we see_ him_?
15578And what are you going to say to him?
15578And what did the postmaster say?
15578And what''s that when it''s at home?
15578And what,asked Madison,"does the Congress charge?"
15578And yet it is true that through him I learned what love was, what it_ could_ be-- don''t you understand?
15578And you wo n''t come, eh? 15578 And-- and Thornton?"
15578And?
15578Anomaly?
15578Are n''t you going to tell me you''re glad to see me?
15578Are you going to stay for it?
15578Are you mad?
15578Are you through?
15578As much as that?
15578Asking?
15578Back from where?
15578Be you goin''to git off here?
15578Beautiful night, is n''t it?
15578Better?
15578But do n''t you see, Miss Vail--his voice was suddenly grave, masterful--"don''t you see that there is no other thing to do?"
15578But he knows?
15578But how do you account for these miraculous cures?
15578But if these thousands of others came to you-- what then?
15578But is that wise?
15578But there''s a hotel in the town, is n''t there?
15578But we ought to have Pale Face and the Flopper too, do n''t you think so?
15578But what''s to be done now? 15578 But what?
15578But you never know who else might, or when they might-- we begin right, and run no risks-- see? 15578 But-- may we come in?
15578Can I, miss-- can I?
15578Can we see_ him_?
15578Can you cure me then?
15578Can you cure me?
15578Can you see them coming?
15578Cured? 15578 D''ye hear that, Helena?
15578D''ye mean it, Doc-- honest?
15578D''ye think I cough because I like it? 15578 De lady dat I come wid in de private car--_walks_?"
15578Dead?
15578Do n''t I look nice?
15578Do n''t you love me any more?
15578Do n''t you understand?
15578Do?
15578Doc, for God''s sake, Doc, what''s it mean?
15578Does she know,whispered Helena, as she followed the nurse down the corridor of the car,"does she know that-- how ill she is?"
15578Eh?
15578Eh?
15578Ever do Needley?
15578Flopper,said he,"you''ve heard of gold bonds, have n''t you?"
15578For-- for God''s sake, Doc,he called out, stammering,"what''s the matter?"
15578From New York? 15578 God- given place down here, is n''t it?
15578Good afternoon, Miss Vail-- how is the Patriarch to- day?
15578Harry,said he abruptly, jerking his free hand toward the hypodermic,"could you give up that dope- needle?"
15578Have I?
15578Have you lost your head, Naida?
15578Have you, dear?
15578He can scrawl if he is blind, ca n''t he? 15578 He knows?"
15578Helena, do n''t you understand? 15578 How about him, when we pull this off-- will he stand for it-- and what''ll he do?"
15578How did it size up as a testimonial?
15578How far are we from Needley?
15578How long do you remain in Needley?
15578How long have you been like this?
15578How''s she goin''to him when she ai n''t here?
15578I am not asking very much, Robert, dear-- am I?
15578I never heard of you before, yet I am one of the thousands beyond this little town and I am here-- why not the others?
15578I pulled de stunt,said the Flopper in a croaking voice,"but de kid-- Doc-- did youse see de kid?
15578I told you once I ca n''t stop the hack, and I ask you again how''m I going to?
15578I told you, ai n''t I?
15578I wonder what it all means?
15578I wonder?
15578I''m dead onto your lay, and there''s a bull comin''along now-- half or him, which?
15578I''m going outside to yell--_yell._ You know what''yell''means, do n''t you?
15578I?
15578If he''s done it fer de crowd dere, why ca n''t he do it fer me? 15578 In what way is he worse?
15578Is Mrs. Thornton seriously ill?
15578Is he_ all_ blind?
15578Is that all you''ve got to say?
15578Is there-- some one else?
15578Is yer grouch painin''you so''s yer tongue''s hurt?
15578It is rather difficult to communicate with him, is n''t it? 15578 It is, eh?"
15578It''s rich, is n''t it?
15578It''s_ our_ love-- the love we have known together-- and we''re going back to it-- see? 15578 Look here,"he said bluntly,"you do n''t mean to say that you believe this seriously, do you?"
15578Love makes one''s temerity very great-- doesn''t it? 15578 Mabbe,"announced the Flopper tactfully,"mabbe I''d better be gettin''back to me valise-- we''re most dere, ai n''t we?"
15578May I help you down?
15578Miss Vail,he said, in a low voice,"there was a letter-- a letter that Naida left-- did you know of it?"
15578My love-- what other love have_ you_ known but that?
15578Not go?
15578Not here?
15578Now that''s settled for the time being, is n''t it?
15578Now what in the land''s sakes be it all about?
15578Now wot do youse t''ink of dat?
15578Only you''ve never had any, eh?
15578Or would you be more comfortable on the floor?
15578Pipe me comin''?
15578Robert, have you your check- book here?
15578Robert,she said, in a low, anxious tone,"do you think that-- that there can be anything in it?"
15578Say, Helena, wot''s de new lay de Doc has got up his sleeve?
15578Say,he inquired grimly,"what''s the answer?"
15578Say,observed Madison to himself,"the longer you live the more you learn, do n''t you?
15578Say,said Madison slowly,"first crack out of the box this looks bad, do n''t it?
15578See them woods over there beyond the town?
15578Shall I write larger?
15578Shall-- shall I get out?
15578So he''s going away, eh? 15578 So large a sum of money as must accumulate to be left openly about?
15578Suppose we try to find her?
15578Take me, mister, wo n''t you?
15578That''s enough about the Flopper and Pale Face-- what about muh? 15578 That''s so,"said Mr. Higgins, brightening, while the others nodded; then, dubiously:"But s''pose he_ does_ get there-- how be we goin''to stop him?"
15578The Patriarch?
15578The cure?
15578The matter with me?
15578There is n''t anything the matter with me-- is there? 15578 Too thick-- fishy?"
15578Well, Flopper, well, Harry-- what do you say?
15578Well, Helena?
15578Well, he''s got de rocks, ai n''t he?
15578Well, what reason do we give?
15578Well, what then?
15578Well-- Garfield?
15578Well?
15578Well?
15578Well?
15578Well?
15578What are we to do about-- about everything here?
15578What are you talking about-- what is it?
15578What can I say to you? 15578 What d''ye mean?"
15578What do I do?
15578What do you mean?
15578What do you mean?
15578What do you mean?
15578What do you say?
15578What does it matter to you whether I love Thornton or not?
15578What does that word mean?
15578What have you done?
15578What is it we''re to do?
15578What is it, Sam?
15578What is it?
15578What kind of cures does he perform?
15578What will you do here alone when you are blind?
15578What you got for us, Doc?--something nice?
15578What you have come to talk to me about?
15578What''s her name?
15578What''s that?
15578What''s the local doctor say about it?
15578What''s the matter with you all?
15578What''s the matter?
15578What''s the trouble?
15578What''s them?
15578What''s this, Flopper-- what''s this? 15578 What?"
15578What_ do_ people do when they''re caught like this?
15578Where are you going?
15578Where be her address?
15578Where is she?
15578Where was she born?
15578Where''d I get''em?
15578Where''d you get it? 15578 Who is he?"
15578Who is it that''s coming?
15578Who knows what there may be that you can do?
15578Who''s that, Harry? 15578 Who''s the party with the wheel- chair behind?"
15578Who''s there?
15578Who?
15578Why ca n''t youse answer when yer called? 15578 Why did n''t you send me word this morning?"
15578Why does n''t she go to him?
15578Why have you come back here to- night?
15578Why not? 15578 Why should n''t she be after him?
15578Will you come and see Mrs. Thornton now?
15578Will you come back into our car after awhile? 15578 Will you listen?"
15578Will you listen?
15578Wonder what you''re supposed to do? 15578 Wot''ll I tell him?"
15578Wot-- wot''ll I do wid de Patriarch?
15578Y''ain''t going to stall on_ me_, Flopper, are you?
15578Yell?
15578Yes,said Helena,"is n''t it pretty?
15578Yes?
15578Yes?
15578Yes?
15578You ca n''t realize it, Robert, can you? 15578 You keep your mouth shut-- do you hear?"
15578You know the cures to be living, vital, irrefutable facts-- don''t you?
15578You know them, do n''t you?
15578You mean,he said sharply,"that there''s something going on between Helena and Thornton-- already?"
15578You mean?
15578You will come, Miss Vail?
15578You?
15578Your name is Madison, is n''t it?
15578--III-- NEEDLEY"Needley?"
15578--was that his own voice speaking?
15578All cured?"
15578And did he really fix this up for me all by himself?"
15578And from the minute you buy your ticket, you keep your bones, or whatever a beneficent nature has given you in place of them, out of joint-- see?"
15578And how do you know?
15578And it''s my money that''s keeping you, and you belong to me-- do you understand?"
15578And perhaps, if I may, I will come out here to see you-- may I?"
15578And that''s the way it''s got both of you too, eh?
15578Another one de same as de kid, Doc?"
15578Are you in trouble-- tell me?"
15578Been asking for me, has he?
15578But it was raining more heavily now, was n''t it?
15578But then-- what?
15578But we must, of course, have the endorsement of the Patriarch-- why not go to the cottage now, at once, and talk it over?"
15578But, inwardly puzzled, Madison searched the Patriarch''s face-- was the other playing a part?
15578Cheer up, mabbe de Doc''ll be out to- night, an''if he do n''t hear youse yellin''himself will I tell him youse are out on de beach t''rowin''a fit?"
15578Could n''t she play the game and act her part without making a fool of herself?
15578Dere was a showdown-- see?
15578Did n''t de postmaster say all yer gotter have is faith?
15578Did this Patriarch ever do anything for you?"
15578Did you ask me anything, Doc?"
15578Do it to- night, understand?"
15578Do you ever feel that way?"
15578Do you get me, Flopper?
15578Do you understand-- say, do you get that?
15578Do you understand?"
15578Environment?
15578Evans, is n''t it?
15578Ever been in Chicago?"
15578Every newspaper in the land would snatch at it for a headline, and ask-- why?
15578Faith is a matter of degree, is it not?
15578Faith, Helena,_ faith_--get that?
15578Faith?
15578Funny, was n''t it?
15578Get his armchair into his own room, make him comfortable there-- get the idea?
15578Get me?
15578Get that?
15578Get that?
15578Get that?
15578Get that?
15578Go on about the Flopper and Pale Face-- can the Flopper speak any English yet?"
15578Had Mrs. Thornton written as she had talked, or only about the Patriarch and the work in Needley?
15578Had Thornton anything to do with it, after all?
15578Have n''t we got one?
15578Have we not that same power to count on still?
15578He came down on the train with you-- know him?"
15578Helena in bed?"
15578Helena, look up at me-- will you marry me, dear?
15578How are we going to return the money that we have taken?"
15578How are you going to do that?"
15578How did I come to Needley?
15578How much does he raise the ante?
15578How''m I going to quit coughing?"
15578I am afraid you will think I am far more inquisitive than I have any right to be, but there is one more question that I would like to ask-- may I?"
15578I am sure you want to show it-- don''t you?"
15578I do n''t have to-- I do n''t have to go around making sheep''s- eyes at her-- what?
15578I do n''t want any complications to queer things around here-- understand?
15578I feel as you do about helping others-- how could I feel otherwise?
15578I have not hurt you by refusing to answer?"
15578I keeps my mouth shut-- see?
15578I saw a piece about dis Patriarch in one of de Noo Yoik papers, so I writes to de postmaster of de town to find out if he was on de level-- see?"
15578I suppose all of us here in Needley"--he looked around at the assembled group of leading citizens--"feel the same way, too?"
15578I tell you I love you-- do you hear?
15578I think you must have been longer here on that bench than you imagined-- haven''t you?
15578I wish you''d go as often as you can to see Naida in the car while I''m away-- will you?
15578I''m only guyin''myself-- see?
15578I-- I do n''t think it''s going to stop raining-- do you?
15578Is it asking too much?
15578It might well have happened on her way home-- journey too much for her-- left too soon-- see?
15578It was very good of you to come, Mr.--?"
15578Its consummation?
15578Lookin''for quiet, be you?
15578Mabbe you think I''m nutty too, because I know I''m goin''to be cured-- but it do n''t hurt you none to have me think so, does it?
15578Madison picked up the slate and in huge letters that sprawled from one end of the slate to the other wrote the word:"WALK?"
15578Madison?"
15578Many will come with but the semblance of faith, and for those there can be no cure-- that is evident on the face of it, is it not?"
15578May I, during my stay in Needley, look upon them in a little way as my own library?"
15578Might it not even endanger Miss Vail and the Patriarch himself-- subject them, indeed, to attack?"
15578Mr. Higgins picked up the slate and wrote the word"grand- niece?"
15578Myself?
15578Nerves?
15578Next time you throw your fit, you throw it before you come around me, or I''ll make you wish you had-- see?"
15578Nothing doing-- understand?
15578Now listen, while I read it:"A NEW CULT?
15578Now tell me about the Flopper and Pale Face before Higgins gets back-- have they got things straight?
15578Now, why had she done that?
15578Off all night with Thornton-- eh?
15578Or is it at its full in power and efficacy at moments when hysteria in paroxysm is at its height?
15578Or, if it was not that-- what was it?
15578Overwhelmed with gratitude at his cure, he attaches himself to the Patriarch with dog- like fidelity-- beautiful thought!--get the idea?
15578Say"--his voice snapped--"wot do youse t''ink I am, anyway?"
15578Say, Doc, say-- ain''t dere a chanst ter live straight now we wants ter?"
15578Say, Helena, say, do youse believe in love-- in-- in de_ real_ t''ing?"
15578Say, how about Act Three?"
15578Say, look at me, Doc-- don''t you get what I mean?"
15578Say, where''d you pick up Helena yerself-- and how long did it take youse?
15578See, dear, ca n''t you understand?"
15578See?"
15578See?"
15578Shall we go?"
15578She had no fears about passing the night alone with him here in the woods-- why should she?
15578She had played a part all her life, had n''t she?
15578Stole it, eh?
15578That looks like love-- doesn''t it?"
15578Them your duds up the platform?
15578Then Mrs. Higgins says,''Hiram, why in the land''s sake do n''t you go out an''see the Patriarch?''
15578Then, with an effort to control his voice:"You-- you do not care-- you do not love me?"
15578There was certainly no guile in the venerable, gentle face-- or was it guile of a very high order?
15578There was something of mockery in that, was n''t there?
15578Thornton''ll see it in the right light because he''s got fifty thousand dollars worth of faith in what''s going on here-- get that?
15578Thornton?"
15578Wanted to dangle a millionaire on her string-- eh?
15578Wants me to write, does he?"
15578Waren''t expectin''nobody to meet you, was you?
15578Was her love for him gone?
15578We ai n''t none of us church members, are we?
15578We''ll get through after a while-- and the road''s better now than it was anyhow, is n''t it?"
15578We''re about to part for days and days, lady mine, that''s the tough luck of it, but we''ll make a night of it to- night anyway-- what?"
15578Well, that only makes our game the safer and the more certain, does n''t it?
15578Well, that''s the Flopper''s rôle in the second act-- see?
15578What am I to do?"
15578What awful mockery was to fall upon this maimed and mutilated creature within whose deformed and pitiful body there too was a human soul?
15578What can be done with them in this little village?
15578What did it mean?
15578What did you come at this hour for?"
15578What do you mean?"
15578What do you think you are?
15578What does that matter?
15578What drear tragedy was to be enacted?
15578What for?
15578What for?"
15578What had brought Thornton here, anyhow?
15578What had induced her to treat Madison the way she had the night before?
15578What have you been up to?
15578What is there to be miserable about?
15578What more could there have been?
15578What more do you want?
15578What reason do we give?
15578What the deuce have I been standing for it for?
15578What was in that letter?
15578What was it you said your name was?"
15578What was it?
15578What was it?
15578What was the matter with her?
15578What was there to be afraid of?
15578What was there to be afraid of?
15578What was this faith?
15578What was to be done?
15578What was to come?
15578What were you doing behind that trellis?"
15578What''ll it be?"
15578What''s the answer to those cures?"
15578What''s the matter with you?
15578What''s the use of going over it again?
15578What''s your real name-- what did they decorate you with at the baptismal font back in the dark ages?"
15578What_ did_ it all mean?
15578What_ do_ people do when they''re caught like this?"
15578What_ was_ the end?
15578What_ was_ the matter?
15578When does I beat it, Doc-- to- morrer?"
15578Where did you say Helena had gone?"
15578Where do I get off?"
15578Where is he now?"
15578Who shall define faith?
15578Who shall say what it is, and who shall place its limitations upon it?
15578Who''s that?"
15578Who?
15578Why do n''t you start your act?"
15578Why not?
15578Why should I know it?
15578Why, say, like that she''s what the poets call radiantly divine-- eh, what?"
15578Wo n''t you do this for me?"
15578Wonder where he got his education-- notice the English he writes?
15578Wot fer?"
15578Wot you tryin''ter do-- light a bonfire ter save yer voice?
15578Wot you wanter yell fer?"
15578Wot''s anymaly mean?"
15578Wot''s''already''got to do wid it?
15578Would it not be a temptation to some to steal?
15578Would you care to look at my books?
15578Would you care to tell me about it?"
15578Yes; I gave what I could afford, but it was Holmes, a poor man, who gave most of all-- have you seen him?
15578You are sick-- and you have come to me for help?"
15578You have n''t seen Doc, have you?"
15578You have said several times that you intended to remain here and take a personal and active part in the work?"
15578You never heard any howl about them, did you?
15578You remember what I told you all in the Roost, do n''t you?
15578You say Miss Harvey wants to see me?
15578You thought the game would hold me to the last jackpot-- did you?
15578You understand now why-- and you''ll do this for me?"
15578You will need a woman''s hand here-- have you no one, no relative that you can call upon?"
15578You''ll find me somewhere around here, but you need n''t let the whole earth in on the presentation-- see?
15578You''ll go to her, wo n''t you?"
15578You''re bright enough ordinarily, Helena, and, Harry, you''re no dub-- what''s the matter with you?
15578You''ve got to keep the hush falling here, and keep it falling all the time-- a sort of holy, hallowed silence, understand?
15578You-- you met him on your way here?"
15578he said breathlessly,"and-- and did he ever do a really, truly- truly miracle?"
15578rasped the officer roughly,"or I''ll-- hullo, what you got here?
15578said Madison plaintively to the toe of his boot, while his hand scrawled the inquiry:"What is her name?"
15578she exclaimed; and then, with a breathless laugh, as a bump lifted her out of her seat:"It_ is_ rough-- isn''t it?"
17396Am I queer?
17396Am I rude?
17396And the nurse, of course?
17396And you will have to go too, wo n''t you?
17396Are all the flowers dead, or do some of them come again in the summer? 17396 Are n''t you glad, Father?"
17396Are n''t you glad? 17396 Are there any flowers that look like bells?"
17396Are there rose- trees?
17396Are things stirring down below in the dark in that garden where he lives?
17396Are you a ghost?
17396Are you going to be my servant?
17396Are you making Magic?
17396Are you one?
17396Are you sure you are not chilly, Master Colin?
17396Are you surprised because I am so well?
17396Are you well?
17396Art tha''goin''to take to diggin''? 17396 Art tha''sure?
17396Art tha''th''little wench from India?
17396Art tha''thinkin''about that garden yet?
17396Because what?
17396Both of them?
17396But how could it have been done?
17396But if you wanted to make a flower garden,persisted Mary,"what would you plant?"
17396But why did he hate it so?
17396C- could you?
17396Ca n''t you bear me?
17396Can I go in them?
17396Can I trust you? 17396 Can he do that?"
17396Can not tha''smell it?
17396Can tha''knit?
17396Can tha''read?
17396Can tha''sew?
17396Can you show me?
17396Can you tell? 17396 Colin,"she began mysteriously,"do you know how many rooms there are in this house?"
17396Could I ever get there?
17396Could it be possible that she sees that I may be able to do him good and control him?
17396Could you keep a secret, if I told you one? 17396 Could you?"
17396Did Dickon teach you that?
17396Did he remember thee that much?
17396Did he say you were going to die?
17396Did they quite die? 17396 Did you feel as if you hated people?"
17396Did you get Martha''s letter?
17396Did you hear a caw?
17396Did you know about it?
17396Did you know about the garden?
17396Did you see either of them, Weatherstaff?
17396Do bulbs live a long time? 17396 Do n''t you like hiding the garden?"
17396Do n''t you?
17396Do they take good care of you?
17396Do you believe in Magic?
17396Do you go and see those other roses now?
17396Do you hear any one crying?
17396Do you know Dickon?
17396Do you know anything about your uncle?
17396Do you know who I am?
17396Do you know who I am?
17396Do you like roses?
17396Do you mean Magic?
17396Do you never catch cold?
17396Do you remember that first morning you brought me in here?
17396Do you see that rose- colored silk curtain hanging on the wall over the mantel- piece?
17396Do you think he is?
17396Do you think he really likes me?
17396Do you think he remembers me?
17396Do you think he wants him to die?
17396Do you think he will die?
17396Do you think he will?
17396Do you think the experiment will work?
17396Do you think you wo n''t live?
17396Do you think,said Colin a little awkwardly,"that will make my father like me?"
17396Do you think-- I could-- live to grow up?
17396Do you understand everything birds say?
17396Do you want anything-- dolls-- toys-- books?
17396Do you want him to be fond of you?
17396Do you want me to kiss you?
17396Do you want to live?
17396Do you want toys, books, dolls?
17396Do you?
17396Does Dickon know all about them?
17396Does he like the moor?
17396Does he really understand everything Dickon says?
17396Does n''t tha''know? 17396 Does she think Mrs. Medlock would let me go?"
17396Does tha''like it?
17396Does tha''like me?
17396Does tha''think,said Colin with dreamy carefulness,"as happen it was made loike this''ere all o''purpose for me?"
17396Does tha''want to see him?
17396Does your father come and see you?
17396Has Medlock to do what I please?
17396Has it?
17396Has n''t tha''got any yet?
17396Has n''t tha''got good sense?
17396Have you a garden of your own?
17396Have you been here always?
17396Have you to do what I please or have you not?
17396How can he when it''s such a great, bare, dreary place?
17396How could I remember you? 17396 How did you know about Colin?"
17396How did you know he brought them?
17396How do you know all that?
17396How do you know that?
17396How do you know?
17396How does he look?
17396How does tha''like him?
17396How does tha''like thysel''?
17396How is Master Colin, Medlock?
17396How is he?
17396How long has tha''been here?
17396How many things she knows, does n''t she?
17396How much would a spade cost-- a little one?
17396How old are you?
17396How shall I get the things when Dickon buys them?
17396How''s thy Missus?
17396How-- how?
17396I never knowed it by that name but what does th''name matter? 17396 I shall?"
17396I wonder if we shall see the robin?
17396I wonder why you did n''t scream and bite me when I came into your room?
17396I would n''t want to make it look like a gardener''s garden, all clipped an''spick an''span, would you?
17396I''m not?
17396If it was out of the way and no one wanted it, no one_ could_ mind my having it, could they?
17396If tha''was a missel thrush an''showed me where thy nest was, does tha''think I''d tell any one? 17396 If you do n''t like people to see you,"she began,"do you want me to go away?"
17396If you had one,said Mary,"what would you plant?"
17396Is Colin a hunchback?
17396Is he going to die?
17396Is it all a quite dead garden? 17396 Is it really calling us?"
17396Is it so very bad? 17396 Is it?"
17396Is it?
17396Is it?
17396Is she-- is she Martha''s mother?
17396Is that one quite alive-- quite?
17396Is the spring coming?
17396Is there any way in which those children can get food secretly?
17396It''s quite dead, is n''t it?
17396It''s-- it''s not the sea, is it?
17396Look at th''lad''s legs, wilt tha''? 17396 Martha knew about you all the time?"
17396Martha,she said,"has the scullery- maid had the toothache again to- day?"
17396Martha,she said,"what are those white roots that look like onions?"
17396Mary,said Colin, turning to her,"what is that thing you say in India when you have finished talking and want people to go?"
17396May I take it from anywhere-- if it''s not wanted?
17396May I?
17396Might I,quavered Mary,"might I have a bit of earth?"
17396Mistress Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow? 17396 My mother?"
17396Never heard your father and mother talk about him?
17396Oh, you are Roach, are you?
17396Only five folk as tha''likes?
17396Out? 17396 Shall I go away now?
17396Shall I see it? 17396 Shall we sway backward and forward, Mary, as if we were dervishes?"
17396She?
17396Tha''--tha''has n''t got a crooked back?
17396Tha''--tha''has n''t got crooked legs?
17396Tha''got on well enough with that this mornin'', did n''t tha''?
17396Tha''s got a bit o''garden, has n''t tha''?
17396That one?
17396That there?
17396That''s a very old tree over there, is n''t it?
17396The garden?
17396Then why does n''t tha''read somethin'', or learn a bit o''spellin''? 17396 This was her garden, was n''t it?"
17396To me?
17396Together?
17396Was he?
17396Well, if tha''does n''t go out tha''lt have to stay in, an''what has tha''got to do?
17396Well, sir,she ventured,"could you have believed it?"
17396Well, then, if I order you to bring Miss Mary to me, how can Medlock send you away if she finds it out?
17396Well, well,he said to himself as he hurriedly changed his coat,"what''s to do now?
17396Well-- do you know about Colin?
17396Were they?
17396What are bulbs?
17396What are hysterics?
17396What are they? 17396 What are you doing here?"
17396What are you doing?
17396What are you laughing at?
17396What are you looking at me for?
17396What are you thinking about, Ben Weatherstaff?
17396What are you thinking about?
17396What are you?
17396What art sayin''?
17396What did Colin say when you told him I could n''t come?
17396What did I tell you?
17396What did he do that for?
17396What did he say?
17396What did she say?
17396What do they make of it at th''Manor-- him being so well an''cheerful an''never complainin''?
17396What do you do in your cottage when it rains like this?
17396What do you mean? 17396 What do you mean?
17396What do you mean?
17396What do you think of it?
17396What do you want me to tell you?
17396What do you want to do?
17396What do you want to say?
17396What does it mean?
17396What does it want?
17396What does tha''know about him?
17396What does that mean?
17396What for, i''Mercy''s name?
17396What garden door was locked? 17396 What garden?"
17396What garden?

17396What is a moor?
17396What is it doing?
17396What is it for?
17396What is it like? 17396 What is it tha''s got to tell me?"
17396What is it you smell of? 17396 What is it?
17396What is it?
17396What is that scent the puffs of wind bring?
17396What is that?

17396What makes thee ask that?
17396What sort of a garden is it?
17396What will Dr. Craven say?
17396What will they be?
17396What work do you do in the gardens, Weatherstaff?
17396What would Mrs. Medlock do if she found out that I had been here?
17396What''s the matter with thee?
17396What?
17396Whatever does tha''want a spade for?
17396Whatever happens, you-- you never would tell?
17396When they have no leaves and look gray and brown and dry, how can you tell whether they are dead or alive?
17396When?
17396Where did he get it?
17396Where did the rest of the brood fly to?
17396Where did you come from?
17396Where do you go?
17396Where do you live now?
17396Where do you play?
17396Where has tha''been, tha''cheeky little beggar?

17396Who thought that?
17396Who will go with me?
17396Who-- What? 17396 Why did Mr. Craven hate the garden?"
17396Why did he hate it?
17396Why did n''t you get up?
17396Why did you come?
17396Why do n''t you put a heap of stones there and pretend it is a rockery?
17396Why do n''t you take it to them?
17396Why do you keep looking at me like that?
17396Why do you look at me like that?
17396Why does it make you angry when you are looked at?
17396Why does n''t tha''put on tha''own shoes?
17396Why does nobody come?
17396Why does tha''care so much about roses an''such, all of a sudden?
17396Why is that?
17396Why was I forgotten?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Why?
17396Will he always come when you call him?
17396Will there be roses?
17396Will you come again and help me to do it?
17396Will you show the seeds to me?
17396Will you?
17396Worse?
17396Would n''t they give thee a bit?
17396Would you hate it if-- if a boy looked at you?
17396Would you like me to sing you that song I learned from my Ayah?
17396Would you make friends with me?
17396Would you?
17396You are real, are n''t you?
17396You''ll get plenty of fresh air, wo n''t you?
17396''Can not tha''see a chap?''
17396''Praise God from whom all blessings flow''?"
17396( the gardeners?)
17396--_Page 157_]"Who are you?"
17396Am I a hunchback?
17396An''I says,''Could a delicate chap make himself stronger with''em, Bob?''
17396Are there ever any roses?"
17396Are you going somewhere?"
17396Are you so weak as that, poor Colin?''
17396But he has got a big mouth, has n''t he, now?"
17396But he says to me when I went into his room,''Please ask Miss Mary if she''ll please come an''talk to me?''
17396CHAPTER XII"MIGHT I HAVE A BIT OF EARTH?"
17396Can I trust you-- for sure--_for sure_?"
17396Can tha''guess what I was thinkin''?"
17396Did Dickon and your mother like to hear you talk about me?"
17396Did no one ever tell you I had come to live here?"
17396Did tha''do anythin''extra to make thysel''so strong?''
17396Did you take your bromide last night, Colin?"
17396Do n''t you care?"
17396Do n''t you see?
17396Do n''t you want to see it?"
17396Do roses quite die when they are left to themselves?"
17396Do you hear a bleat-- a tiny one?"
17396Do you know Martha?"
17396Do you suppose that instead of singing the Ayah song-- you could just tell me softly as you did that first day what you imagine it looks like inside?
17396Do you think I could ever skip like that?"
17396Does it hurt you so much?
17396Does it make him feel like that?"
17396Does n''t tha''understand a bit o''Yorkshire when tha''hears it?
17396Does tha''know how to print letters?"
17396Had she never asked the gardeners?
17396Had she never looked for the door?
17396Has tha''begun tha''courtin''this early in th''season?
17396Has tha''never seen them?"
17396Has tha''noticed how th''robin an''his mate has been workin''while we''ve been sittin''here?
17396Have I got crooked legs?"
17396Have you been locked up?"
17396Have you-- do you think you have found out anything at all about the way into the secret garden?"
17396His appetite, sir, is past understanding-- and his ways--""Has he become more-- more peculiar?"
17396How can we know the exact names of everything?
17396How could I?
17396How could a garden be shut up?
17396How did he look?
17396How did tha''find out about him?
17396How did tha''like th''seeds an''th''garden tools?"
17396How does it begin?
17396How does tha''like thysel''?''
17396How much are they?''
17396How''d tha''like to plant a bit o''somethin''?
17396I keep saying to myself,''What is it?
17396I mean ca n''t you put on your own clothes?"
17396I wonder,"staring at her reflectively,"what Dickon would think of thee?"
17396If he had liked his wife so much why did he hate her garden?
17396Is n''t everything nice?
17396Is n''t the sun nice?
17396Is n''t the wind nice?
17396Is there anything you want?"
17396Oh, do n''t you see how much nicer it would be if it was a secret?"
17396Oh, is it?"
17396Shall I get into it?
17396Shall I?"
17396Shall I_ live_ to get into it?"
17396Shall us begin it now?"
17396She has n''t handed much of it down, has she, ma''am?"
17396She said,''Has n''t Mr. Craven got no governess for her, nor no nurse?''
17396Th''gentry calls him a athlete and I thought o''thee, Mester Colin, and I says,''How did tha''make tha''muscles stick out that way, Bob?
17396Tha''did give it him last night for sure-- didn''t tha''?
17396Tha''does n''t mind it, does tha''?''"
17396There?"
17396They sang--''Mistress Mary, quite contrary, How does your garden grow?
17396Was he losing his reason and thinking he heard things which were not for human ears?
17396Was it possible that perhaps he might find him changed a little for the better and that he might overcome his shrinking from him?
17396Was it that the far clear voice had meant?
17396Was this the right corner to turn?
17396Were there a hundred really?
17396Were you crying about that?"
17396What are you thinking about now?"
17396What could you do for a boy like that?
17396What did tha''shut thysel''up for?"
17396What did they say to each other?"
17396What in heaven''s name was he dreaming of-- what in heaven''s name did he hear?
17396What is his name?"
17396What is it?"
17396What is it?''
17396What sort of a place was it, and what would he be like?
17396What was a hunchback?
17396What was it-- what was it?
17396What was there for her to say?
17396What was this under her hands which was square and made of iron and which her fingers found a hole in?
17396What were you crying for?"
17396What''s tha''been doin''with thysel''--?
17396When do you think Dickon will come?"
17396Where is tha''garden?"
17396Where was it?
17396Where was the key buried?"
17396Where?
17396Who are you?"
17396Who did it?
17396Who else could have been charming rabbits and pheasants as the natives charm snakes in India?
17396Who is he?
17396Who wishes you would?"
17396Whose is he?"
17396Why did n''t they?"
17396Why did n''t you come?"
17396Why does nobody come?"
17396Why does tha''want''em?"
17396Why had Mr. Archibald Craven buried the key?
17396Why is the curtain drawn over her?"
17396Why should I go out on a day like this?"
17396Why should n''t she go and see how many doors she could count?
17396Will you go, Miss?"
17396Will you help, Ben Weatherstaff?"
17396Would tha''really do that, Miss?
17396Would they live years and years if no one helped them?"
17396[ Illustration:"''WHO ARE YOU?--ARE YOU A GHOST?''"
17396an''he laughed an''says,''Art tha''th''delicate chap?''
17396cried Mary,"is he going away to- morrow?
17396he said,"he''s got a fine lordly way with him, has n''t he?
17396hidin''out o''sight an''lettin''folk think tha''was cripple an''half- witted?"
17396said Martha delightedly,"that was nice of him was n''t it?"
17396she cried out,"is it you-- is it you?"
17396tha''young nowt,"--she could see his next words burst out because he was overpowered by curiosity--"however i''this world did tha''get in?"
17396was he-- was he-- was he only a wood fairy?"
17396where are you?"
16099A gold mine, I suppose you mean?
16099A magpie? 16099 A noise o''ducks?
16099A stranger?
16099A traveller? 16099 A visitor, eh?"
16099An ad., eh?
16099An adventure-- you?
16099And Mr Buskin was-- all that?
16099And are you an artist?
16099And are you very sorry for yourself?
16099And ca n''t you find the lady?
16099And has the gentleman arrived?
16099And have you really been in Persia? 16099 And how are you feeling, my dear?"
16099And how long are you staying at Cleeve?
16099And how''s me friend St Aubyn?
16099And is that Lubin?
16099And now may we go and look at the flowers?
16099And so your mother keeps geese?
16099And what train do you go by in the morning?
16099And you are not married?
16099And you really believe it?
16099And you think it a safe investment?
16099Are n''t you rather hot, standing there in the sun, Sir, all this time?
16099Are n''t you? 16099 Are you serious?"
16099Are you-- can you perhaps be-- er-- Mr Buckskin?
16099Auntie,he cried,"what do you think?
16099But how about sin?
16099But how about the ghosts? 16099 But may I?"
16099But surely it does n''t pretend to be anything else?
16099But what does it all mean-- how it is you''re not killed?
16099But what does that matter, auntie?
16099But what''s his name?
16099But where-- whereabouts is it?
16099But who is Lubin?
16099But why did n''t you? 16099 But why did you fix on the same day?"
16099But why need you have dressed so early? 16099 But why-- why-- why?"
16099But, my dear aunt, why did you never let me know that I might expect you?
16099Ca n''t you tell me anything about him? 16099 Can such things really be?"
16099Can you tell me whether I''m anywhere near a place called Moorcombe Court?
16099Did I dream_ that_?
16099Did it say it was coming back?
16099Did one ever hear such rubbish? 16099 Did you hear them?"
16099Did you? 16099 Do n''t you believe in marriage?"
16099Do n''t you feel anything?
16099Do you really? 16099 Do you remember what I was saying to you the other day about the educative power of the stage?
16099Do you want us to be all assassinated together?
16099Do you?
16099Drunk, Sir? 16099 Going to lunch with whom?"
16099Gold?
16099Had I?
16099Had he a dark- brown face? 16099 Have a drop of whiskey- and- water?
16099Have you ever been inside?
16099Have you fixed upon a day?
16099Have you no sense of sin?
16099Hot? 16099 How can you have made such a blunder?
16099How d''ye mean?
16099How dare you talk like that? 16099 How do you know she does n''t?"
16099How has he been this afternoon?
16099How is it she never had her likeness taken?
16099How''s Aunt Charlotte, for instance? 16099 How_ can_ people read novels, when there are so many other books in the world?"
16099I hope they have n''t been embezzling your money?
16099I say, Lubin, do you know anything about a Mr St Aubyn, who lives not far from here?
16099I wonder what time it is?
16099I''ve had a lovely time-- haven''t you too? 16099 I, disguise myself in paint and feathers to be a public gazing- stock?
16099I? 16099 I?
16099Is Aunt Charlotte up yet?
16099Is he waking up?
16099Is it an industrial undertaking?
16099Is it possible?
16099Is n''t it exquisite?
16099Is n''t it?
16099Is that a hard saying?
16099Is that all?
16099Is that so, really?
16099Is that you already, Martha?
16099Is this your good behaviour? 16099 It is n''t anything improper, is it?"
16099It''s all very sad and very ugly, is n''t it, Gioconda?
16099It''s rather a mess, is n''t it?
16099Lady?
16099Lor'', Master Austin, wherever was you brought up?
16099Lor''bless you, Master Austin, where was you brought up? 16099 Make my peace with God?"
16099My dear auntie, have you forgotten?
16099No relation to Geoffrey Trevor who was in the 16th Lancers?
16099Now how are you going to get up again, I should like to know? 16099 Now, how is it that your face seems so familiar to me, I wonder?
16099Off already?
16099Oh, Mr St Aubyn, is that you? 16099 Oh, are you?
16099Oh, is it haunted? 16099 Oh, is n''t it perfectly wonderful?
16099Oh, need you go?
16099Oh, why did you break the spell?
16099Oh, why?
16099Ought I to have?
16099Rain?
16099Reading and dreaming, I suppose, as usual?
16099Really?
16099Rude? 16099 Sha n''t I?
16099Shall we say the 24th?
16099So that''s what you''re aiming at, is it? 16099 So you''re Austin, are you?
16099Thanking God? 16099 That bit of lapis lazuli at the top, with a curious design upon it, is by way of being an amulet, I suppose?"
16099The milkman, eh? 16099 Then what would you suggest?"
16099Then who did?
16099Then why do you thank God?
16099Then you are not here for long?
16099Then you enjoyed yourself?
16099There, do n''t you hear them laughing at you? 16099 Travelled in bonnets?"
16099Was he a soldier, like father? 16099 Was it as fine a place as you reckoned it would be?"
16099We ca n''t go on for ever referring to him as''the gentleman,''as though there were no other gentlemen in the world, can we now?
16099Well, and did you have an interesting visit?
16099Well, and how did ye fare at the Court?
16099Well, and what have you been about?
16099Well, auntie!--why, what''s the matter?
16099Well, but what sort of a stranger?
16099Well, what have you been reading, then?
16099Well, what is it all about?
16099Well, why not go by a later train, then?
16099Well?
16099What about? 16099 What are the wickedest flowers you know?"
16099What are these? 16099 What can you be thinking about?"
16099What day will suit you best?
16099What did she_ say_, Austin?
16099What for?
16099What friends have you?
16099What harm could it have done you? 16099 What in the world makes you want me not to go?"
16099What is Art?
16099What is it-- shares or bonds?
16099What jugglery is this?
16099What makes you think so?
16099What sort of a visitor? 16099 What sort of a voice, Austin?"
16099What was it, then?
16099What was she rowing you about? 16099 What''s funny?"
16099What''s the matter?
16099What, because he wanted to burn somebody alive?
16099What, have n''t you seen the bills? 16099 What, him at the Court?"
16099What, never heard of Byron''s''Sardanapalus''?
16099What, was it_ you_ she asked?
16099What, you did n''t know that Roger wrote books?
16099What_ do_ you mean, Austin?
16099What_ do_ you mean, Lubin? 16099 Where can she have got to?
16099Where_ is_ Austin, Martha? 16099 Which way?
16099Who was that lady looking over the garden- gate just now?
16099Why ca n''t you go to- morrow instead?
16099Why does anybody do anything?
16099Why on earth do you go there? 16099 Why, are n''t you fond of church?"
16099Why, auntie?
16099Why, how did you know? 16099 Why, what did she say?"
16099Why, what do you know about it?
16099Why?
16099Will you go to your room this instant and stay there?
16099Wo n''t it be very hot?
16099Wot''s this for?
16099Would he have been putting up at one o''the inns, now, or staying long wi''some o''the gentry?
16099Would it be too late?
16099Yes, Sir?
16099Yes, an old lady,replied Austin,"who----""Did she come in an open fly?"
16099You found Mr St Aubyn at home?
16099You''re going to the theatre to- night, are n''t you, Austin?
16099You? 16099 _ I_?"
16099_ Now_ do n''t you feel anything?
16099_ The_ beauty?
16099_ Who''s_ Mr Buskin?
16099''Squire Bustle''--''Miss Finakin''--''Uncle Jeremiah''--used people to read books like this when grandfather was a little boy?
16099A lady?"
16099Ah, would ye now?"
16099And did he really put in that?
16099And have you ever set fire to a bishop?"
16099And is he a success?"
16099And now you leave me in the most heartless way with all these people on my hands----""Then why did you insist on inviting them?"
16099And pray, young gentleman, from whom did you pick up that?"
16099And so you''ve enjoyed the play?"
16099And what do you think of the performance?
16099And what have_ you_ to say?"
16099And who could tell how near she might be to him?
16099And who was this very patronising old person, pray?
16099And why should she not have married him?
16099And yet, what could possibly have become of her?
16099Anywhere near Peru?"
16099Are n''t you a little fond of them too?"
16099Are n''t you getting nearly worn out yourself, Lubin?"
16099Are there any ghosts?"
16099Are you a Thug?"
16099Are you fond of tapestry?"
16099Are you ready?
16099Been in front?"
16099But how in the wide world did you recognise it?"
16099But she did n''t say you were like your father, did she?"
16099But there might be compensations; who could tell?
16099But was it all true?
16099But what made you do it?
16099But what would have been the good of telling you?
16099But who were the unseen friends who had thus interposed to save his life?
16099But who''s your young friend over there?
16099But why should I defend myself?
16099But you do n''t mind being worshipped, do you, Gioconda?
16099But, then, so many people are, are n''t they?
16099By the Author of the Antidote._ What_ does_ it all mean?
16099Ca n''t you find him anywhere?"
16099Can you stand steady?
16099Could it be mice?
16099Curious that both enterprises should be connected with salt water, eh?
16099Dear auntie, why do n''t you wear bonnets like that?
16099Degrading?
16099Did all your friends turn up?"
16099Did he hear anything?
16099Did n''t my description of the dream just_ fetch_ you?
16099Did she regret it, now that she was able to look back upon the past so calmly?
16099Did she tell you anything about him-- anything, I mean, that you did n''t know before?"
16099Did the water boil, Richards?
16099Did ye never hear that before?"
16099Did you ever hear of her before?"
16099Did you know her well?"
16099Did you never hear that before?
16099Did you see any o''them, as you was so anxious about?"
16099Do n''t you feel a wind?"
16099Do n''t you know what the name may be, neither?"
16099Do n''t you like it?
16099Do n''t you smell them, Lubin?
16099Do you know much of botany?"
16099Do you know what it was she said to me upon her death- bed?
16099Do you often go into the town?"
16099Do you perfectly understand?"
16099Do you see that old statue, just over there by the wall?
16099Do you think he wears a wig?"
16099Do you think they are?"
16099Does n''t the lawn look well?"
16099Down on your knees, and drink a measure to The safety of the King-- the monarch, say I?
16099Every flower seemed to greet him with silent laughter:"Aha, you''ve been playing truant, have you?
16099Had he a bonnet on when you saw him drinking in the bar?"
16099Had he a wooden leg?
16099Had she enjoyed her Cobbledicks and her MacTavishes as much as he had enjoyed his experiences at the Court?
16099Has it anything to do with raw material?
16099Has n''t he got a few rather nice pictures in his rooms?
16099Has she quite forgiven you for having saved her life?"
16099Have you been to the theatre, too?"
16099Have you finished?
16099Have you gone out of your mind?"
16099Have you, within the last three or four weeks, seen a stranger anywhere about?"
16099How am I to know?
16099How can a man go travelling about the country in a bonnet?
16099How could you possibly tell that you were preventing me from getting killed?"
16099How did that come about, I should like to know?"
16099How did that last scene go?
16099How did you amuse yourself all the afternoon, and what did you talk to him about?"
16099How do pagodas grow on trees, I wonder?
16099How do you do, Mr Buskin?
16099How do you manage to keep it in such good condition?"
16099How had she fared, meanwhile?
16099How in the world, Austin, did you manage to escape?"
16099How long have you been living hereabouts?"
16099How long would it take us to get to the bathing- pool just at the bend of the river?"
16099How many spoonfuls of tea did you put in?
16099How old is the tapestry, by the way?"
16099How was it you chose the road?"
16099I always thought a pagoda was a sort of odalisque-- isn''t that right?
16099I daresay my bones may be doing something silly, but really I''m not responsible for their vagaries, am I now?"
16099I do hate them so, do n''t you?
16099I hope he got a lot of marks; do you think he did?
16099I hope you''re pretty well?"
16099I may infer, then, that you''re not exactly hankering to go on the stage yourself?"
16099I might tell you a little more, but then I should n''t expect you to believe it, so what would be the good?
16099I say, how funny my stump looks, does n''t it?
16099I suppose you saw some magnificent scenery in your wanderings?"
16099I told you I should know her, did n''t I?"
16099I wonder who they are?"
16099I''ve certainly never seen you anywhere before, and yet-- and yet-- who_ is_ it you remind me of, for goodness''sake?"
16099If you find intellectual joy in the society of Mrs Cobbledick and Shock- headed Peter----""Shock- headed Peter?
16099If you were n''t a human being, Lubin-- and a very nice one, as you are-- what sort of an animal would you like to be?"
16099Is it really half- past seven?"
16099Is n''t it going to be fun, auntie?"
16099Is n''t it very rude of them?"
16099Is n''t there a ladder tall enough?
16099Is there anything else you want to know?"
16099It is n''t a plantation anywhere, is it?"
16099It''s not good business to raise too great expectations, is it, now?"
16099It''s pretty, is n''t it?"
16099It''s very sad, is n''t it?
16099It_ was_ good of them, was n''t it, auntie dear?"
16099Look at the white and purple lights in the water-- aren''t they marvellous?
16099May I ask what religion you belong to?"
16099Mr St Aubyn has shown me one or two; what will Mr Buskin''s be like?
16099My dear boy, have you taken leave of your senses?
16099Now I should propose''The Art of Creation''--do you know it?
16099Now do n''t you think that''s rather a good idea?"
16099Now, how would you like to take a class in the Sunday- school, for instance?
16099Now, is n''t that near enough?
16099Now, what do you make of that?"
16099Now, what have you to say?"
16099Oh, do look here; is n''t this wonderful?
16099Or a scar down one of his cheeks?"
16099Or a wooden leg?
16099Or is it only nine?"
16099Painting, for instance; did you ever see anything to compare with that Banqueting Scene in the Palace?
16099People used to see them once upon a time-- why ca n''t we now?
16099She told you that?"
16099So you''ve come to beard the lion in his den, have you?
16099Straying into alien precincts, roving in search of something newer and gaudier than anything you have here?
16099Tell me then-- does it never occur to you that we may also have duties to others?"
16099That flower is the very incarnation of sin; no, not incarnation-- what''s the word?
16099The boys were full of fun as usual, and dear Lizzie-- or was it Florrie?
16099Then, with another start:"But how can you know that?"
16099There are nineteen of them, are n''t there?
16099There you''ll find a most remarkable account of all those heathen superstitions----""Where is Africa?"
16099Thereupon Austin said:"Is it absolutely necessary for you to go to town this morning, auntie?"
16099To all intents and purposes, the experience that awaited him was something entirely new; how, he wondered, would it fit into his scheme of life?
16099Was I very heavy?
16099Was he wounded?
16099Was it bewitched?
16099Was it so?
16099Was n''t it a stockjobber who thought Botticelli was a cheese?
16099Was n''t it curious?
16099Was n''t there a faint rustling sound somewhere in the air behind him?
16099Was she blowing you up about this morning?"
16099We came to the market- place of Appius filled with sailors and insolent brokers._--Were they stockbrokers, I wonder?
16099We shall have a week for certain, but after that----""How you draw?"
16099We''re quite happy alone; what do we want of all these horrible people coming to bore us for Heaven knows how many hours?
16099Well, Austin, and what are you reading now?"
16099Were you a''cruel maid''like the young women one reads about in poetry- books?
16099Were you ever compelled to disguise yourself when you were travelling?"
16099Were you very much carried away?"
16099What Buskin are you raving about, for Heaven''s sake?"
16099What are those?
16099What could be the matter with him?
16099What could it all portend?
16099What could that something be?
16099What did it matter, after all?
16099What did you do that for?"
16099What do I do to make you anxious?
16099What do legs matter?
16099What do you say your name is?"
16099What does a boy generally feel under such circumstances?
16099What does one''s body matter?
16099What else could it have been?
16099What has my being illogical got to do with it?"
16099What have you done with the key?"
16099What impressed you most about the whole affair?"
16099What in creation ever put such an idea into your head?"
16099What in the world can you be thinking of?"
16099What in the world could it have been?"
16099What in the world is to be done?
16099What in the world was she to say to the man?
16099What in the world will you say next?"
16099What in the world''s the matter with the boy now?"
16099What is an artist?"
16099What is the good of telling you about it?
16099What is there more to tell?"
16099What is to be done with such a boy?"
16099What old goose?"
16099What on earth induced you to pitch on the very day when you were invited out?"
16099What on earth makes you so insistent that I should meet these friends of yours?"
16099What on earth was the matter with the bed?
16099What other artist can say as much?"
16099What possible pleasure, he marvelled, could Aunt Charlotte find in such a vapid form of dissipation?
16099What room would there be, in his idealistic philosophy, for the stage?
16099What should I gain by waiting?"
16099What sort of a man, he wondered, could Mr Ogilvie be?
16099What sort of a woman, he wondered, could that unknown mother have been?
16099What time does this performance of yours begin to- night?"
16099What was he like?
16099What was it like?"
16099What was it that pushed you back?"
16099What was my mother like?
16099What was the net result?
16099What was the use of worrying about a matter over which he had absolutely no control?
16099What were the men thinking of?
16099What were theological conundrums to her now?
16099What would have been the use?
16099What would you and I feel?
16099What''d he look like, now?"
16099What''s the amount you have to invest-- two thousand pounds, is n''t it?
16099What''s this?
16099What, do they quack so loud?"
16099What_ could_ be happening?
16099What_ does_ it matter if one eats at half- past one or at a quarter to two?
16099What_ is_''Sardanapalus,''may I ask?"
16099What_ was_ to be done with such a boy?
16099Whatever will she say when she hears about this to- do?"
16099Where are you?
16099Where did you pick it up?"
16099Where is India, by the bye?
16099Where''s Lubin?
16099Where_ is_ Austin, and why does n''t he open the door?"
16099Whereabouts was she?"
16099Which way did you come back?"
16099Who had uncovered him in that unceremonious way, leaving him perished with cold?
16099Who hung the bedclothes over the footrail if you did n''t?"
16099Who in the name of fortune is that?"
16099Who was Tom Dove, and why did he come to town?"
16099Who will ever take such care of him as I should?''
16099Whom do you want to ask?"
16099Why ca n''t you take a rather more cosmic view of things?"
16099Why did he feel so tired?
16099Why do cats occasionally wash their heads behind the ear?
16099Why do n''t you introduce him?"
16099Why do n''t you spend hours every day in this wonderful place?"
16099Why do people knock about the world as they do, when they might stay quietly at home?"
16099Why had he been so silly as to take the highway, with its horrid dust and glare, when the field and the lane would have been so much more pleasant?
16099Why had she given him no encouragement?
16099Why should not he, Austin Trevor, cripple as he was, so live the Daphnis life as to be himself a Daphnis?
16099Why should she?"
16099Why were they so neglectful of her interests?
16099Why, he wondered, were there no delightful shepherd- boys now- a- days, who spent their time in lying under trees and singing one against the other?
16099Why, then, should he concern himself about what might be in store for him?
16099Why, what''s it all about?"
16099Why?
16099Why?"
16099Why?"
16099Wot d''ye mean by it?"
16099Would it bother you very much?"
16099Would you mind if I told you about them?
16099You are n''t a cannibal, are you?"
16099You do n''t expect me to believe that you knew what was going to happen and kept me at home on purpose?
16099You do n''t live at the Court, do you?"
16099You hate the MacTavishes, do n''t you, Lubin?
16099You have n''t seen anyone like that, have you?"
16099You might tell me a little more, might you?"
16099You see all that raw material is n''t composed of gossamer----""What time did it occur?"
16099You will forgive me-- won''t you?"
16099You wo n''t give me a step- uncle, will you?
16099You''ll see Aunt Charlotte before you go away?
16099You''ll think over that little matter we were speaking of?"
16099You''re sure?
16099You''ve been a great traveller, have you not?"
16099You''ve never seen one, have you?"
16099asked Austin,"Is n''t He supernatural?
16099have you seen Master Austin anywhere?"
18057''And,''the man continued,''when one of us goes on the last long journey?'' 18057 ''Good God,''says the other man, turnin''as pale as death,''did you marry Magdalene Mather, too?''
18057''Well,''says the postmaster''s wife,''when the swellin''is so bad, how''m I to undeceive myself?'' 18057 A good deal the colour of that old copper tea- kettle that a woman paid six dollars for once, do you remember?
18057After payin''a dollar and twenty cents for that medicine, do you reckon I''m goin''to let it go to waste? 18057 Afterward?"
18057Ai n''t it lovely, Roger?
18057Ai n''t that wonderful, Roger? 18057 All alone?
18057Allan Conrad,said Miss Wynne, with affected sternness,"if you had n''t studied medicine, would you be practising it now?"
18057Am I going to walk?
18057Am I, Barbara? 18057 And afterward?"
18057And her eyes?
18057And here?
18057And it was false, was n''t it?
18057And then?
18057And those women at the hotel would really buy these things at such ridiculous prices?
18057And what have I got?
18057And who told you that heathen are happier than we are? 18057 And your eyes?"
18057Any crowd?
18057Anybody dead?
18057Are n''t you glad?
18057Are they going back to- morrow,he asked,"the doctor and nurse who came down to- day?"
18057Are they going to take off the bandages there at the hospital?
18057Are you a mind- reader, or did Roger tell you?
18057Are you ill?
18057Are you lonely, dear?
18057Are you making a song, Father?
18057Are you really glad I''ve done what I have for Barbara?
18057Are you? 18057 Bad boy,"she said;"why have n''t you come before?
18057Barbara, I know it is much to ask, for it must be very precious to you, but-- would you let me hold the letter? 18057 Barbara, or your mother?
18057Barbara? 18057 Barbara?"
18057Barbara?
18057Better?
18057But how much?
18057But how?
18057But the best kind?
18057But why did you come?
18057But why, dear?
18057But will she care? 18057 But-- is there always joy?"
18057By the almanac?
18057Can you really? 18057 Constance loved me-- do you remember how dearly she loved me?"
18057Constance, darling,he gasped, feebly,"where is our baby?
18057Constance,he said, drowsily,"is that you?
18057Constance,he said, unsteadily,"have you come back, Beloved?
18057Daddy,said, Barbara, softly, when they were alone,"do you know what day it is?"
18057Dear, ca n''t you trust me?
18057Dear,he pleaded,"may I go, too?"
18057Did a sharp pain come in the lumbar region when you attempted to straighten up?
18057Did he say anything about your eyes?
18057Did n''t you know?
18057Did n''t you want me?
18057Did she, really? 18057 Did they tell you, dear?"
18057Did you ever see a baby bill? 18057 Did you ever see anyone half so beautiful, Miriam?"
18057Did you make a song?
18057Did you?
18057Do n''t you know that even in the old people''s homes they keep the men and women apart-- husbands and wives included?
18057Do n''t you remember the famous painter who told inquiring visitors that he mixed his paints with brains? 18057 Do n''t you think it''s time?"
18057Do you find it difficult?
18057Do you hear that, Roger?
18057Do you know,she went on, thoughtfully,"I wish that woman at the hotel had lumbago?"
18057Do you mean to tell me,asked Eloise, in a queer voice,"that you are asking_ that_ for_ these_?"
18057Do you remember how lovely she was in her wedding gown?
18057Do you remember how much we were together all that year, until Constance came home from school?
18057Do you suppose, for a moment, that he wo n''t forgive her?
18057Do you take me for a coward?
18057Do you think,she asked, chokingly,"that he ever can forgive me?"
18057Everything?
18057Fairy Godchild, why did n''t you tell me?
18057Fairy godmother?
18057Flower of the Dusk,he pleaded,"may I go?"
18057Flower of the Dusk,he said, leaning to Barbara;"what should I have been without you?
18057Flower of the Dusk,he whispered,"when may I go?"
18057For me?
18057For the love of Mike, what for?
18057For you? 18057 Go where, Daddy?"
18057Going to push?
18057Has she paid you?
18057Have I been aggravating, Mother?
18057Have all your previous husbands changed so quickly that you''re afraid to try me?
18057Have many of the guests come?
18057Have n''t you ever had day- dreams, dear, about your wedding?
18057Have they said anything to you?
18057Have they-- finished-- with her?
18057Have you always been lame?
18057Have you never been?
18057Have you told me all?
18057Have you wiped them?
18057He knows he''s blind, I guess, and he certainly ca n''t think he''s young, so what harm does it do to speak of it? 18057 Here-- wouldn''t you rather have this?"
18057How are you, dear?
18057How could you get away? 18057 How did you know?"
18057How do you do, Barbara, dear?
18057How does she look?
18057How is Barbara?
18057How is Fido?
18057How is it?
18057How is my little girl?
18057How long can you stay?
18057How long must you lie here?
18057How much does she resemble her mother?
18057How much?
18057How should I know?
18057How''m I to have it again?
18057How''s my fellow sufferer?
18057I did n''t know you ever got any letters-- do you?
18057I know, but is it right?
18057I like him lots better than an automobile, do n''t you?
18057I reckon it ai n''t none of my business,remarked Miss Mattie,"but why did n''t you do somethin''like this for Barbara instead of cuttin''her up?
18057I think, Father, that a song should be in poetry, should n''t it?
18057I wonder if Constance would have left hers to her little yellow- haired girl? 18057 I wonder,"mused Roger,"how a person could know the right one?"
18057I''m Barbara, Daddy,she cried out;"do n''t you know me?"
18057If I had no voice and had never studied music, would I be singing at concerts?
18057If a girl had never seen a typewriter and did n''t know the first thing about shorthand, would she apply for a position as a stenographer?
18057If it should turn out the other way, will you keep father from being lonely? 18057 If she did, and wanted some of them long narrow pills, would you give''em to her?"
18057If you do n''t need them again, may I have them?
18057Is he all right, Allan?
18057Is he going to be all right, too?
18057Is he there now?
18057Is he treatin''himself for it?
18057Is it?
18057Is my little girl vain?
18057Is n''t it sudden?
18057Is she asleep?
18057Is she asleep?
18057Is she----?
18057Is supper ready, Aunt Miriam?
18057Is that the only reason?
18057Is that why?
18057Is there anything else?
18057Is there no way out?
18057It would seem strange,sighed Barbara,"after almost twenty- two years, why-- what day of the month is to- day?"
18057Jealous? 18057 Just as if an earthquake was to jolt off the top of the house and shake all the bedrooms down here?"
18057Kiss me for the last time before----"Before what?
18057Lonely?
18057May I have some more, please? 18057 Miriam, tell me-- does Barbara look like her mother?"
18057Miriam,cried Ambrose North, passionately,"why did she kill herself?
18057More sewing, dear?
18057More sewing?
18057Mother,suggested Roger,"why do n''t you subscribe for the papers yourself?"
18057Mr. North,said Doctor Conrad,"while these girls are chattering, will you go for a little drive with me?"
18057Must I go?
18057My dear Mrs. Austin,said Allan, solemnly,"have you not heard the news?"
18057New word?
18057No galloping cherubs?
18057No mortar piled up on me and left to set? 18057 No surgical operation?"
18057No,he answered;"why?"
18057Now, what''s wrong?
18057Oh, Miriam, can you not see? 18057 Oh, what have I done?"
18057On a morning like this? 18057 Once for all I ask you-- does Barbara resemble her mother?"
18057Pills? 18057 Please,"said Barbara, softly, though she was not at all afraid,"may we go up into the cupola and ring the golden bells?
18057Please?
18057Roger,she said, dreamily,"we rang them all together, did n''t we?"
18057See?
18057Sha n''t I get someone to stay with you while I''m gone, Mother? 18057 Sha n''t I read it to you, Mother?"
18057Sha n''t I wipe the dishes for you, Aunty? 18057 Shall I read to you, Barbara?"
18057Shall you always have to sew?
18057Shall you marry some day, Barbara?
18057She has n''t had her supper yet, has she?
18057Should n''t you have a veil? 18057 Sir Knight of the Dolorous Countenance, what has gone wrong?"
18057So, Constance,she said to herself,"you came for the letters?
18057Sweet,said Allan, softly, possessing himself of her hand,"did you think I could stay away from you two whole weeks?
18057Sweetheart, can you trust me? 18057 Sweetheart,"said Allan,"do you see?
18057That''s the one you wanted, is n''t it?
18057The man said,''Shall we always look for the sunsets together?'' 18057 The seventh?
18057The years improve wine and violins and friendship, so why not a piano?
18057Then what in thunder do you keep on taking dope for?
18057Then when?
18057Then why do n''t you take them off?
18057Then, will you let me go?
18057Then,suggested Allan, hopefully,"do n''t you think I should be thanked again?"
18057There is n''t anything I can say or do, is there, Barbara, dear?
18057Three things?
18057To whom?
18057Truly, Sweetheart?
18057Wait until I''m almost well, wo n''t you?
18057Want you?
18057Was Barbara glad?
18057Was it when you were stooping over, perhaps to pick up something?
18057We do n''t care, do we?
18057We''ll be very good and not say a single word, wo n''t we?
18057Well, if the villain is always foiled, you''re surely not afraid, are you?
18057Well, little girl,said Doctor Allan, sitting down on the bed beside her,"how goes it?"
18057Well?
18057Well?
18057What about, dear?
18057What about?
18057What are they?
18057What are you doing, Barbara?
18057What are you reading?
18057What are you taking that medicine for?
18057What can I do for you?
18057What colour is her hair, Aunty?
18057What did Barbara say?
18057What did I say that was wrong?
18057What did she have on?
18057What did you bring over?
18057What do they want to cover the cottages with a roof for? 18057 What do you mean?"
18057What do you mean?
18057What does it say here?
18057What for?
18057What have I done?
18057What is it-- notes?
18057What is it?
18057What is it?
18057What is it?
18057What is it?
18057What is the matter?
18057What kind? 18057 What news?"
18057What was it?
18057What was the primary cause of the explosion?
18057What''s the difference between a flat and an apartment?
18057What''s the matter, Mother?
18057What''s the matter, Roger?
18057What''s the use of having money if you do n''t spend it?
18057What, dear? 18057 When and where from and how did you come?"
18057When do the bandages come off?
18057When it''s done?
18057When she wakes, will you let me take it up to her?
18057When you see him,commanded Miss Mattie, with some asperity,"will you kindly send him home?
18057When, dear?
18057Where do you get your material?
18057Where is Roger?
18057Where is it to be?
18057Where were you to- day, Father?
18057Where?
18057Which is in the ascendant now?
18057Which is the sickest-- her or me?
18057Which star do you want?
18057Who is going to be married?
18057Who is here?
18057Who is it?
18057Who?
18057Why did n''t you tell me sooner, Mother?
18057Why did n''t you tell me?
18057Why do n''t you come with me, Mother, and keep house for me? 18057 Why do you have those there?"
18057Why does n''t your father like to have me come here?
18057Why does n''t your mother like to have you come?
18057Why not, Mother?
18057Why not? 18057 Why not?"
18057Why not?
18057Why not?
18057Why not?
18057Why should I be afraid?
18057Why should we desecrate noble and beautiful souls by intruding upon them? 18057 Why, Mother, what''s the matter?"
18057Why, Mother? 18057 Why?"
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Will you come with me, dear?
18057Will you do something for me?
18057Will you keep it shining for me, in spite of clouds and darkness?
18057Will you please tell me what day of the month it is?
18057Wise lady, how did you grow so old in so short a time?
18057With you, and everything a girl could want, why should n''t I be happy?
18057Wo n''t I have all the rest of my life to get married in?
18057Women change their minds more easily, do n''t they?
18057Wonder why he does n''t mix up some dog- pizen, and cure himself?
18057Would it save anything?
18057Would n''t any of them even look at it, Aunty?
18057Would n''t you like to walk like the rest of us?
18057Would you like more pearls, dear? 18057 Would you marry?"
18057Would you marry?
18057Would you mind coming upstairs?
18057Would you mind tellin''me,she asked, suspiciously,"why you took it on yourself to give me medicine that would pizen a dog?
18057Yes, Daddy, I''ve always told you so, do n''t you know?
18057Yes?
18057You are almost twenty- two, are you not, Barbara?
18057You have a great deal of it, have n''t you?
18057You mean a kitchen on the same floor with the bedrooms?
18057You think--?
18057You''re asking me if you can hurt my baby?
18057You''re not afraid?
18057You''re not counting the oaks?
18057Your skin is so smooth-- is it fair?
18057_ She_ fail?
18057A June morning, the sea, youth, and the consciousness of being loved-- for what more could one ask?
18057A bracelet, or a ring?"
18057A little song for Roger and me?"
18057Ah, did he not love her?
18057Ah, what had happened in those four days?
18057Ai n''t it a perfectly beautiful story?"
18057Ai n''t it right there in print, as plain as the nose on your face?
18057Also, had Roger tried to poison the Judge''s pet?
18057Am I not enough?"
18057And evergreens are ruled out, are n''t they?"
18057And in four days?
18057And now, if there is a chance, will you take it-- for me?"
18057And proteids-- where do you buy''em?
18057And should we not remember that the rainbow itself was a signal and a promise that there should be no more sea?
18057And who would give up a keen, crisp Winter day, when the air sets the blood to tingling, for apple blossoms or even roses?
18057And will you?"
18057And, in a way, it makes you and me something like brother and sister, does n''t it?"
18057Any way, Allan, dear, please come, wo n''t you?"
18057Are these things material to our covenant?
18057Are you a heathen?"
18057Are you beautiful?"
18057Are you mine?"
18057Been down to the hotel yet?"
18057But do you want the year to stand still always at June?"
18057But her mother?
18057But the letter would come first, Barbara-- can you understand?"
18057But-- need he know that the dead had deceived him too?
18057By the way, Miriam, do you need more money?"
18057Ca n''t you get the Judge another dog?"
18057Ca n''t you make one of it?"
18057Can you believe that it is for always and not just for a little while?
18057Constance was coming back for the letters, then?
18057Could not the God who ordained the beginning be safely trusted with the end?
18057Could you trust me?"
18057Dictionary?"
18057Did I hear Aunt Miriam go out?"
18057Did her heart cry out for me as mine for her, until the blood of the poppies mingled with hers and brought the white sleep?
18057Did his legal document hurt him?"
18057Did n''t you say you had made two songs?
18057Did n''t you see, there where he says,''I hope you do not blame me because I went mad''?
18057Did she say when she was coming?"
18057Do n''t they want light and air?"
18057Do n''t you remember my telling you?"
18057Do n''t you see?"
18057Do n''t you understand, Allan?
18057Do n''t you want to read?"
18057Do you hear?
18057Do you know her?"
18057Do you know what to- day is, my dear?"
18057Do you suppose he will ever win her?"
18057Do you think I''m going to let some peripatetic, untrained immigrant manage my house for me?
18057Do you think my blindness could--?"
18057Do you think there is any chance?"
18057Do you want me to bring Fido to see you?"
18057Do you want to?"
18057Do you want us all piled up in the front yard in a nice little heap of bones before the Tower of Cologne is rebuilt?"
18057Does it hurt you now?"
18057Every day you get more and more like your pa."[ Sidenote: Dangerous Rocks]"How long had you and father known each other before you were married?"
18057Father has been right beside me all the time except when I''ve been asleep, have n''t you, Daddy?"
18057For the sake of that, and for to- morrow, will you kiss me to- night?"
18057Freed from the bonds of earth, does she still live, somewhere, in perfect peace with no thought of me?
18057Has n''t she the dearest father in the world and the prettiest"--she swallowed hard here--"the prettiest house and the loveliest clothes?
18057Has your mother left her love to you as my father left me his?
18057Have you come back, Beloved?
18057Have you forgotten?"
18057Have you forgotten?"
18057Having seen so much of the perfect curve, could we not believe in the circle?
18057He asks me piteously,''Why?''
18057He said to take two every four hours-- two what?"
18057He wanted the truth, did he?
18057Hedged in by earth and hopelessly put asunder, could it at last come to fulfilment through daughter and son?
18057Her mouth quivered as she said words she had not even dreamed of saying for more than a quarter of a century:"Will you-- can you-- forgive me?"
18057How are you?"
18057How could I have borne it all?"
18057How could she make him believe in the love he so hungered for even now?
18057How did she take it?"
18057How long are you going to keep me waiting for wife and home?"
18057How long have you been doing this?"
18057How much do you reckon he charges for a visit?"
18057How old are you?''
18057How shall I know?"
18057How strange that the Boy in the Tower should be Roger, and yet, was it so strange, after all, when she had known him all her life?
18057I always work until eleven or half past, so why should n''t you come over then?"
18057I should think, from the letters and all, that he was her steady company, should n''t you?"
18057I wonder if sometimes the joys of the fathers are not visited upon their children as well as their sins?"
18057If I ca n''t make a girl forget the clock, I have no call to waste my valuable time on her, have I?"
18057If I take all the medicine, I''ll stay cured, wo n''t I?
18057If I were very good, would n''t you let me come along?"
18057If the worst should happen, would you trust your father to me?
18057If there is, will you take it?"
18057In that mysterious darkness, does she want me, too?
18057Is it catchin''?"
18057Is it not a wonderful world?"
18057Is it not so, Barbara?"
18057Is n''t it time I was rewarded?"
18057Is supper ready?
18057Is that a new gown?"
18057Is that last sleep so deep that the quiet heart is never stirred by love?
18057Is that right?"
18057Is that why I''m sentenced to all this infernal waiting?"
18057Is there a pen downstairs?
18057Is there someone who would help you for an hour or so every day?"
18057It seems absurd, does n''t it, to be affected by another man''s liver while you are supremely unconscious of your own?"
18057It was Napoleon, was n''t it, who prided himself upon making his own circumstances?
18057Keep him away from the house and with you, until-- afterward?"
18057Know anything about her?"
18057Knowing, beyond doubt, that Constance was faithless, would he at last turn to the woman he had deserted for the sake of a pretty face?
18057Make a song first, wo n''t you?
18057May I try?"
18057No striped nurses?"
18057Now, can you walk?"
18057Of course this made Margaret good and mad, and she says to the conductor,''How old do you think I am?''
18057Oh, Aunt Miriam, do you think the world is coming to an end?"
18057One day Barbara had asked, thoughtfully,"Aunty, do I look like my mother?"
18057One of the blue and white nurses came to her and said, gently,"Is it very bad, Miss North?"
18057Or is she asleep, dreamlessly, abiding in the earth until some archangel shall sound the trumpet bidding all the myriad dead arise?
18057Passion dies because it is of the earth, but does not love live?
18057Readin''is a good thing in its place and I enjoy it myself, but sometimes it''s pleasant to hear the human voice sayin''somethin''besides''What?''
18057Sentient, but invisible, is she here beside me now?
18057Shall we buy her a diamond ring, or some pearls?"
18057Sounds a good deal like''Here''s- your- hat- what''s- your- hurry?''
18057Surely you must have seen that?"
18057Tell me, was there a sunset to- night?"
18057The sea?"
18057The seventh of June?"
18057The vital question was simply this: what was the matter with Fido?
18057Then he added, anxiously,"are you sure you do n''t need it?
18057To- morrow is mine, but-- will you come and stay with father?
18057To- morrow, at this time, his bandages would be off-- then why not to- day?
18057Upon what day, fair lady, do you think the leaves will be gone?"
18057Was her gown tailor- made?"
18057Was it because he was blind and the little yellow- haired baby with her mother''s blue eyes was born lame?
18057Was nobody ill?"
18057Was she unhappy?
18057Was this all, or--?
18057We can find a little flat somewhere, and----""What on earth is that?"
18057We have n''t been on good terms since she drove me out of the melon patch-- do you remember?"
18057We never got the Tower finished, did we?"
18057We wanted the blossoms, did n''t we, to make golden bells in the Tower of Cologne?"
18057We-- you will stay to luncheon, will you not, Miss Wynne?"
18057What I want to know is, why does n''t she come down?"
18057What are the life- works?"
18057What day of the month is it?"
18057What difference does it make?"
18057What do you mean by keeping the young up so late?"
18057What do you suppose it means?
18057What do you think a paper that size, full of pills, can do for a person that ai n''t able to stand up without screechin''?"
18057What do you want-- rose- dew, lilac- honey, or a golden lily full of clear, cool water?"
18057What good is all this going to do you when you have no stove?"
18057What if she should come to him some day with the letter Constance had left for another man and which she had never delivered?
18057What if she should open it, at his bidding, and read him the burning sentences Constance had written to another during her last hour on earth?
18057What is it?"
18057What is the other one?"
18057What might not have happened in four days?
18057What more could one person do for another than you have done for me?"
18057What time is it?"
18057What was wrong with it?"
18057What went wrong to- day?"
18057What would you do, if you could choose?"
18057What would you do-- or be-- if you could have your choice?"
18057What''s the matter?"
18057When I can walk and you can see, we''ll go down together, shall we?"
18057When can you come again?''
18057When my whole soul goes out to her in an agony of love and pain, is it possible that there is no answer?
18057When you''ve always understood me, must I begin explaining to you now?
18057Where do you get them?"
18057Where is my Flower of the Dusk?"
18057Where is our baby, Constance?
18057Which''ll you have-- fresh apple sauce, or canned raspberries?"
18057Who dared to say I was n''t?"
18057Who ever heard of a second- hand coffin?
18057Who is it?"
18057Who would wish for June when Indian Summer fills all the silences with shimmering amethystine haze?
18057Who''s runnin''for friend this year on the Republican ticket?"
18057Who''s up yonder?"
18057Whom would you choose for witnesses?"
18057Why be visited by him at your own?
18057Why did n''t you tell me before, so I could have chosen jolly, happy things?"
18057Why go to his house, and know his mother and brother and sisters?
18057Why insist upon rash personal relations with your friend?
18057Why is one belief any better than another when we come face to face with the grey, impenetrable veil that never parts save for a passage?
18057Why not here-- and now?"
18057Why should Barbara write to one who was blind?
18057Why should hers have died?
18057Why should n''t they teach crime, and even make a fine art of it?"
18057Why should to- morrow be so different from to- day?
18057Why?
18057Why?
18057Why?"
18057Why?"
18057Will there ever be recession?"
18057Will you bring me his coat, please?"
18057Will you come?"
18057Will you come?"
18057Will you give me back the check, please, and show me where to date it?
18057Will you take in the chairs, please?"
18057Will you wait until then?"
18057Would he blame Barbara-- or her?
18057Would n''t it be dear to see two old people married and settled in a little home of their own?"
18057Would you let me feel the words I can not see?"
18057Would you try to take my place?"
18057You thought of your old father even then?"
18057You would n''t have them buy things they did n''t want, would you?"
18057Your back does n''t hurt you, does it?"
18057[ Sidenote: An Awful Chasm]"How did father stand it?"
18057[ Sidenote: Barbara]"What colour is your hair, Barbara?"
18057[ Sidenote: Fine Manners]"Let me see-- what was I talkin''about?
18057[ Sidenote: Flower of the Dawn]"Flower of the Dawn,"he cried, his voice ringing with love and triumph,"do you care?
18057[ Sidenote: Horses versus Autos]"He''s a one- armed horse, is n''t he?"
18057[ Sidenote: Last but Not Least]"Last-- and least?"
18057[ Sidenote: Nine o''Clock]"What time is it?"
18057[ Sidenote: Peculiar Way of Putting Things]"Now,"she demanded, in a shrill voice,"what does that mean?"
18057[ Sidenote: Please?]
18057[ Sidenote: Practical Help]"Would it?"
18057[ Sidenote: Three Things]"What would you see, Daddy, if you had your choice?
18057[ Sidenote: What''s Wrong?]
18057[ Sidenote: When?]
18057[ Sidenote: Will It Last?]
18057and''Yes''and''All right''and''Is supper ready?''
18057asked Allan,"or is there some gay young troubadour who serenades you in the evening and whose existence you conceal from me for reasons of your own?"
18057demanded Miss Mattie, pricking up her ears,"when I''m cured?
18057she asked, drowsily;"is it time for my medicine?"
23782''For what are all our contrivings, And the wisdom of our books, When compared with your caresses, And the gladness of your looks? 23782 A monkey?"
23782A real monkey?
23782A_ what_?
23782Ah, Mrs. Lane, how do you do?
23782Ai n''t it a favor to be good when it''s easier and naturaler to be bad-- not really bad, either, but just yourself?
23782Ai n''t they, though? 23782 Allee Greenfield, do I ever fool you?"
23782And did you always live here?
23782And how would you get down to the ground?
23782And hungry?
23782And the money we do n''t spend is ours?
23782And then what?
23782And they let you come all alone?
23782And what are you doing here?
23782And you wo n''t take this darling room away from us this time, will you?
23782And you''ve been here ever since?
23782Are n''t you Dr. Campbell''s granddaughter? 23782 Are n''t you ashamed of yourself to ask such a question?"
23782Are n''t you going to say anything?
23782Are these tots neighbors of yours?
23782Are you Glen?
23782Are you going to give her money?
23782Are you sorry?
23782Are you their sister?
23782Are you twins?
23782Are-- are-- was it a real woman which did that talking?
23782But how will you furnish the rooms that way?
23782But is n''t it a good way to spend money? 23782 But where did you get such cute, quaint furniture?"
23782But who takes care of you?
23782But who will help us?
23782But who will take Miss Kinney''s part?
23782But why did you take so many things?
23782But why?
23782But you? 23782 But, grandma,"interrupted Peace, her eyes wide with amazement at this recital;"you do n''t call those things scattering sunshine, do you?"
23782But--,"How,"What do you mean?
23782Ca n''t I talk?
23782Ca n''t I?
23782Can you keep a secret, children?
23782Charades?
23782Cows?
23782Did I speak?
23782Did n''t I tell you when you chose this room for your own that you would forfeit it the first time you used the window for the stairway?
23782Did n''t you ever see a giggling pansy?
23782Did n''t you like to go?
23782Did she have many cows?
23782Did what, you young jackanapes?
23782Did you do the painting?
23782Did you ever get anything printed?
23782Did you make the curtains yourselves?
23782Did you really mean that Mrs. Strong wants me next week? 23782 Did you think I had forgotten that?"
23782Do n''t I look sweet and like an angel any more?
23782Do n''t they make you feel like heaven? 23782 Do n''t you know, sir, that you ca n''t come in this way?
23782Do they come here often?
23782Do they live in Martindale?
23782Do they really belong to us now?
23782Do we have to go by ourselves?
23782Do you belong to Miss Smiley''s Gleaners?
23782Do you like your job?
23782Do you live near here?
23782Do you make out a list of missionary doings each week?
23782Do you mean that the winner can choose which of those three bare rooms she wants for her very own?
23782Do you really feel that way about it, dear?
23782Do you s''pose grandpa will get back by that time?
23782Do you s''pose they have begun tableauing?
23782Do you suppose the tableau scared them to death?
23782Do you take me for a mind reader?
23782Does n''t she look as if she needed it?
23782Does n''t your grandmother know where you have gone?
23782Faith? 23782 Faith?"
23782Fern, what have I done? 23782 Flowers?
23782Girlies, how did you do it?
23782Glen, where''s Glen?
23782Grandpa,Gail interrupted, looking thoughtfully at the check which Faith was still studying curiously;"must we do this without help from anyone else?
23782Hard? 23782 Have n''t you any mamma?"
23782Have n''t you heard?
23782Have they-- taken your mamma-- away yet?
23782Have you finished dressing the paper dolls for Allee?
23782Have you no father or mother?
23782Hope, what have you to say for yourself?
23782How did you ever get here ahead of us? 23782 How did you happen to find that out?"
23782How did you know that?
23782How did you like the Woods? 23782 How do you know Lottie ai n''t your twin sister?"
23782How is my Lady, my Lilac Lady?
23782How long did you write your dairy?
23782How long will that be?
23782How old is she?
23782How shall we begin?
23782How would you suggest dividing the rooms among you, then?
23782How, dear?
23782I brought a picnic with me, but--The big blue eyes flashed wide in surprise, and their owner demanded sharply,"Why did you come this time of day?
23782I had dreamed of being a great singer some day--"Oh, do you sing?
23782I had planned it all out-- the blondes together, the brunettes, and--"The blondes and brunettes?
23782I? 23782 If Gail is Saint''Lizabeth and Faith is Saint Cecilia and Hope is Saint Lucy, what''s Cherry?"
23782If the whole family is away, who is keeping house?
23782Ink would be best, would n''t it? 23782 Is Glen your brother?"
23782Is Petri your father?
23782Is it? 23782 Is n''t it lovely?"
23782Is she nice?
23782Is that all the coat you have?
23782Is the pain so bad?
23782Is this a-- a school?
23782Is your papa dead?
23782Is-- is-- there no one that really is hungry and cold and needs things?
23782It is n''t? 23782 John, have you a minute to spare?
23782Joy?
23782Lewie and Loie what?
23782Lottie sent to the asylum? 23782 Made any great discoveries?"
23782Me?
23782Mrs. Campbell is interested in the Home--"Is she a splinter?
23782Mrs. Lane? 23782 No others?
23782No, she''s in there--"In that barn?
23782No? 23782 Not even out onto the balcony?"
23782Now the thing of it is, will grandpa be as easy? 23782 Oh, Elspeth, ai n''t they lovely?"
23782Oh, Peace, and then have the fun of taking our clothes off again?
23782Oh, Saint John, you are n''t going to kill Jocko, are you?
23782Oh, and say, what about the flowers for the Home children? 23782 Oh, do you mean it?
23782Oh, do you mean that?
23782Oh, grandpa, grandma, girls, when did you get here? 23782 Oh, introducing them into college society--""And we littler girls ai n''t worth coming out for?
23782Oh, what is the trouble? 23782 Oh, will you let me come some more?"
23782Oh,breathed Peace, scarcely above a whisper,"is n''t she beautiful?
23782Oho,he mocked,"is that what is bothering you?
23782Peace Greenfield, what have you on your feet?
23782Peace, what have you done?
23782Peace, why did you take him without saying a word?
23782Plan? 23782 S''posing I''ve caught it already and give it to Glen?"
23782Saint John?
23782See it? 23782 See that piece of the wall that sticks out there, and--""But how can you walk on that little mite of a piece?"
23782Shall I tell her you''ll take Miss Kinney''s part?
23782She did not need_ two_ pair to keep her feet warm, did she?
23782She''s always scolding mamma''cause she wo n''t put Rivers and me in a Home--"In a_ Home_?
23782Should you care if he did not?
23782Since you were a little girl?
23782Sing? 23782 So everyone could see and pity me?"
23782So you hung onto that old gray Parker coat, did you?
23782So you think there is a chance of your keeping him for a pet?
23782Still harping about that?
23782Supposing I should tell you that we have decided to let you stay up an hour or two longer?
23782Tell me about it, wo n''t you, dear?
23782That girls''Home in Kentucky? 23782 The wh- at?"
23782Their shoes?
23782Then he did take time to write, did he? 23782 Then how can we feed those birds?"
23782Then how does it come they are so far from home?
23782Then how will I go to school any more?
23782Then who takes care of you?
23782Then why are you afraid of him?
23782Then you like it and wo n''t kick?
23782Those mocking little faces?
23782To gather up sunbeams?
23782To whom did you give them?
23782Was it long ago?
23782Was it so important that you had to tell it immediately? 23782 We''re all bones of_ condescension_ today-- now what are you laughing at?"
23782Well, how goes it?
23782Well, then, why is Allee going to be in one room and me in another?
23782Well, well,he said bluffly,"what''s the difficulty?
23782Were they going to have charades, too?
23782Wh- at?
23782What about school?
23782What are your names?
23782What beggar?
23782What can Jud be thinking of?
23782What do you eat, then?
23782What for?
23782What for?
23782What for?
23782What in creation do you suppose they were doing here?
23782What is a Lady Board?
23782What is it, then?
23782What is it?
23782What is it?
23782What kind of a saint is Cherry?
23782What kind of exercises were you going to have, may I ask? 23782 What made you bring me pansies?"
23782What monkey?
23782What news?
23782What place? 23782 What seems to be the matter, chick?"
23782What were you doing just now?
23782What would you call it, dear?
23782What''s a matron?
23782What''s going to happen Tuesday?
23782What''s the matter with them?
23782What''s the matter?
23782What? 23782 What?"
23782What?
23782What?
23782What_ are_ you talking about, grandpa?
23782When?
23782Where are Peace and Allee?
23782Where are the little folks?
23782Where are we going this time? 23782 Where are you going now?"
23782Where did they get him?
23782Where do you live?
23782Where had you put it?
23782Where is your house?
23782Where is your mamma?
23782Where''ll you get the wheat?
23782Where? 23782 Who are the orphans?"
23782Who are you?
23782Who did you think it was named for?
23782Who is the black one?
23782Who owns it?
23782Who takes care of you?
23782Who''d ever have thought last Christmas that we''d be here tonight? 23782 Whom shall you choose, Peace?"
23782Whose monkey is it?
23782Why did n''t I guess it before? 23782 Why did n''t you leave them in the garden?
23782Why did you stop?
23782Why do just Swedes feed the birds?
23782Why does n''t he come any more?
23782Why not?
23782Why not?
23782Why not?
23782Why, Grandpa Campbell, how did you sneak in here so softly? 23782 Why, what do you mean, child?"
23782Why, what do you mean?
23782Why? 23782 Why?"
23782Will you bring us back again?
23782Will you?
23782Without saying a word to anyone about her intentions?
23782Worked it?
23782Would it you?
23782Would you care to hear?
23782Would you like it?
23782Would you like to have me come to visit you tomorrow?
23782Would you really?
23782Yes, she''s another Saint Elspeth, is n''t she? 23782 Yes-- my strawberry pie--""Did Mrs. Strong know?"
23782You did what?
23782You have been with them ever since they came here, have n''t you?
23782You mean it? 23782 You want to leave your old grandpa for a whole week, do you?"
23782You will not forget?
23782You wo n''t?
23782Your new strapped shoes-- slippers-- for summer wear?
23782_ I_ liked it lots, and Allee likes the same things I do, do n''t you, Allee? 23782 _ What_ is Allee?"
23782A telegram?"
23782A white gown shot out of the door opposite them, and terrified Peace threw herself into the woman''s arms, demanding again,"What is Allee?
23782A-- what?
23782Ai n''t it too bad Faith was n''t there to make you another cake?
23782Ai n''t there room enough on that back seat for your big feet?"
23782Ai n''t they, Ethel?"
23782Ai n''t this different from last year?"
23782Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?
23782Ai n''t you central?
23782Ai n''t you going out with me to listen?"
23782And do you know, grandma, she and Mrs. Strong were chums when they went to college?
23782And if he does n''t come, I can keep it myself, ca n''t I, Saint John?
23782And if it should be easy to decide that question, how shall we ever make our peace with the occupants of the other two?
23782And so Peace, in her childish ignorance, asked,"Are you a lady?"
23782And what do you think?
23782And what is the prize?"
23782And why?
23782Are n''t you glad they are not friendless waifs?"
23782Are there more?"
23782Are you a p''liceman?
23782Are you awake, all of you?
23782Are you coming?"
23782Are you listening?
23782Are you perfectly well, Allee?
23782Are you sick?
23782At last she could be patient no longer, and with an angry little hop, she demanded,"What''s the fuss about, grandpa?
23782At the sound of her voice, the busy man paused in his writing and glanced up hastily, asking,"What seems to be the difficulty?"
23782Besides, the evening party is a sort of''coming out''affair for my older girls--""Coming out of what?"
23782Bring him home, wo n''t you?
23782But at the peculiar sound of the voice speaking to them, both girls wheeled quickly, and Peace asked in guilty haste,"Did you want us, grandpa?"
23782CHAPTER XIII CHILDREN''S DAY AT HILL STREET CHURCH"What do you think''s happened now?"
23782Can I bring her over to see you?
23782Can I scatter blessings O''er a soul''s sore need?
23782Can it be that Peace''s Lilac Lady is my dear old chum?"
23782Can we really stay the whole week?"
23782Can we see them often?
23782Can you get me the music?"
23782Could it be that burglars had entered the house during the merrymaking and were even now ransacking the rooms?
23782Could n''t it have kept until dinner hour?"
23782Did n''t we do well?"
23782Did n''t you know she could sing?"
23782Did she send you here to wake me up?
23782Did she tell you, or did Mildred?"
23782Did you ever ask them-- the ladies, I mean-- to be common visitors and eat just what the rest of you had?
23782Did you have a hard time getting out of Parker and was there a farewell reception?
23782Did you hear what we were talking about?"
23782Did your Aunt Pen adopt you?"
23782Do n''t the birds look as if they were enjoying their Christmas dinner?"
23782Do n''t you like strawberry pie?"
23782Do n''t you s''pose he could bring her down here, even if it is three miles?"
23782Do n''t you think she would?"
23782Do n''t you think so?"
23782Do n''t you think so?"
23782Do n''t you?"
23782Do you care?"
23782Do you care?"
23782Do you have much comp''ny, and will we have to give up our rooms to them all the time?
23782Do you s''pose I want to be''rested for getting bit?
23782Do you s''pose it is?"
23782Do you s''pose the angels know we do n''t live in Parker any more?
23782Do you see the reason for that tall, thick hedge all around the yard?"
23782Do you see what I mean?"
23782Do you suppose he would get any money for his playing if he sent around a well- dressed child to collect the pennies?
23782Do you suppose she will?"
23782Do you think she she''d like to hear I''m sorry?"
23782Do you think the matron would allow them to visit me in my garden, seeing that I ca n''t go to the Home as other folks do?"
23782Do you understand now why Aunt Pen has a hard time?
23782Do you understand now?"
23782Do you understand now?"
23782Do you understand?"
23782Do you want to go?"
23782Do you wonder now that I am not happy?
23782Do-- do you think like Mrs. McGowan-- that if we have two coats and someone else has n''t any, we ought to give away one of ours?
23782Does n''t the plan please you?"
23782Does n''t your Missionary Band ever adopt resolutions of any sort in their business meetings?"
23782Does scarlet fever make people grow tall, or what has happened to Hope?
23782Does your mother know where you are?"
23782Elizabeth looked up from a tiny dress which she was mending carefully, and said in sprightly tones,"''Is it raining, little flower?
23782Elizabeth, is n''t that shocking?
23782Faith Greenfield, what do you mean by kicking me like that?
23782Feel the breeze?
23782Going to see your Lilac Lady again?"
23782Grandpa Campbell surely would not turn them away, for did he not know what it was to be homeless and friendless?
23782Grandpa says--""What does grandpa say?"
23782Gussie has fed her, but ca n''t I give her some things to wear?
23782Gussie told me how it was when I spoke of Marie''s being cross, but we never touched a thing; we just looked, did n''t we, Allee?
23782Gussie told us all about it, did n''t she, Allee?"
23782Had your minds all made up, did you?"
23782Has he already gone to telephone the Human Society?
23782Have n''t they come in from the Lake yet?
23782Have she and Gail come home?"
23782Have you forgotten?"
23782Have you forgotten?"
23782Have you run away?"
23782Have you seen her lately?"
23782He watched her in silence a moment, and then demanded in a stage whisper,"What you d''awing?"
23782Her and Saint John?"
23782Her desire is accomplished, however it came about-- and you are going to let me stay?"
23782Home?"
23782How about it, grandpa?
23782How can they be described?
23782How could she know that her lively prattle was making the weary days bearable for the frail sufferer?
23782How did it all come about?"
23782How did it happen that I never thought of it myself?"
23782How did it happen?
23782How did it happen?
23782How did you ever think of such a splendid plan?"
23782How do you like my new dress and did you get my hand- satchel''fore Jud drove off?
23782How is the poor little fellow now?"
23782How many rooms are there?"
23782How many years of existence must she endure in her crippled helplessness?
23782How would''Sunbeams,''or''Gleams of Sunshine''do for yours?"
23782How''d you like that?"
23782How''ll that do?
23782I am still writing it--""Ai n''t that book full yet?"
23782I changed clothes with-- well, what is the matter now?
23782I do n''t see how you stay so fat and rosy with-- but then you''ve only just come, have n''t you?
23782I guess you can wait that long, ca n''t you?
23782I have been learning Peace''s philosophy and find it very--""Peaceful?"
23782I s''pose Belle is too old to be called a child any longer, ai n''t she?"
23782I saw you through the leaves and heard what you said, but wo n''t you please bring my little Gypsy home?
23782I sh''d think you''d be the happiest lady in the whole world with all these lovely flowers and-- are you a lady?"
23782I wonder what Hec is doing about now?
23782I wonder what you will think of Muffet, grandma''s canary?
23782I''xpected she''d come a- running at that, but what do you think, grandma?
23782If you''ve got ten rooms in your house, how many are you going to turn over to us?
23782Impulsively she kneeled on the walk beside them and coaxingly asked,"What is the trouble, little girls?
23782Is he sick?"
23782Is it Peace?"
23782Is it a habit of yours to name all your flowers?"
23782Is it really you who whistles so divinely in the garden each morning?
23782Is it to furnish our rooms with?"
23782Is it, grandpa?"
23782Is n''t it a whopper?
23782Is n''t that queer?"
23782Is she-- dead?"
23782Is she_ lots_ better, Aunt Pen?"
23782Is that it?"
23782Is that it?"
23782Is that not so?"
23782Is that where you''re going to put us, grandpa?"
23782Is this our car?
23782It would n''t hurt you to be rolled down the street in your chair, would it?"
23782Just as she turned the corner, there was a cop--""A what, Peace?"
23782Ladies, who are the committee?"
23782May I go over in the field to play?
23782Mercy, ai n''t we rich now?
23782My sakes, Peace, where do you keep them all?"
23782Now Tom-- his name is Tom, is n''t it?"
23782Now we''ll get acquainted with our relations, wo n''t we?
23782Now, did you?"
23782Now, the question is, what shall we do with these two tots?"
23782Number?
23782Oh, Peace, how could_ I_ take part-- a cripple?
23782Oh, but--""What?"
23782Oh, he ai n''t too heavy and I wo n''t break his precious neck, will I, Glen?
23782Oh, how will I ever get out of here?"
23782Oh, will Allee die, too?
23782Oh, would n''t it have made_ you_ happy if you had been a little girl?"
23782Or is it just a chill?
23782Peace caught a glimpse of her as she vanished within doors once more, and demanded,"Who is that?"
23782Peace paused in her lament, and then with a bright smile answered,"It is nicer that way, ai n''t it?
23782Peace, how do you like the looks of it?"
23782Policeman?
23782Quarrelling?"
23782S''posing we had sent grandpa away when he came tramping around to our house in Parker-- Faith wanted to-- where would we be now?
23782S''posing you were a monkey and hateful boys stoned you, would n''t you tremble and shake?"
23782See how queer the hall looks through the crack of the door?
23782See?"
23782Shall I use pen and ink?"
23782Shall we commence at the bottom and work up, or start in at the attic?
23782She might speak to Mrs. Burnett, but how about that broomstick?
23782She said-- what did she say?
23782She uses the same book he has in the barn, and--""Peace Greenfield, did you really tell him that?"
23782She will like that, wo n''t she?
23782Silently Peace stared from one to another, and then as no one offered to speak, she asked,"Where''s the cook?
23782So after she was gone, we ran down to the gate to watch her, and what do you think?
23782Someone hurt or sick at home?
23782Suppose we should all happen to choose the same plan?"
23782That surely ought''to be enough, ought n''t it?"
23782That''s what she said, is n''t it?"
23782The voice from the adjoining room was saying,"Is this the Humane Society?"
23782Then abruptly the wails ceased, two pair of round gray eyes stared blankly up at their rescuer, and two voices demanded aggressively,"Who''s you?"
23782Then her eye chanced to fall upon the shrinking figure of Mittie, and she demanded wrathfully,"Have you been up to your tricks again, Mittie Cole?
23782Then we''ll make a splendid musician of him; and who knows, Peace, but some day he will be a second Campanini?"
23782Then why had she telephoned the Humane Society?
23782Then you take the place of mother to them?"
23782They look''xactly like their picture, do n''t they, only not quite so grumpy?
23782They ought to be in Martindale to greet you, and we certainly deserved the privilege of escorting you to--""Ai n''t it nice to be pop''lar?"
23782They''re as bad as ours, ai n''t they?
23782This is party night and what would grandma say?"
23782This week our verse is:''Can I help another By some word or deed?
23782Was Miss Curtis a murderer?
23782Was it possible that one of the children was sick and Gussie had not told him?
23782Was n''t there anyone to take care of you?
23782Was the meeting a disappointment to you?"
23782Was there ever a picnic without them?
23782We are just-- what in the world is that coming up the steps?"
23782Well, if grandma thinks it wise, you and Allee may go next week to visit your patron saints-- What is the matter, Dora?
23782Were the children to be kept in their room all day?
23782What are you doing here?"
23782What are you going to do?"
23782What can these children be doing here then?
23782What could be the matter?
23782What could she do with her charges?
23782What could she do with him?
23782What could she do?
23782What did you call yours?"
23782What difference is there between playing the piano all the morning and reading books?"
23782What do you call it then?"
23782What do you look so scared about, Cherry?
23782What do you mean?"
23782What does your Fourth of July money have to do with the Home children and white aprons?"
23782What had she gained by it?
23782What have you been doing this morning?"
23782What have you brought me?
23782What information do you want?
23782What is it that gives you your sweetness?
23782What is the matter?
23782What seems to be the matter?"
23782What street does she live on in Chicago?
23782What was it grandma was always quoting?
23782What was the matter now?
23782What will Parker do without him?
23782What''s the matter with Cherry''s nose, grandma?
23782What''s your baby''s name?"
23782When I grow bigger and have a house of my own, then I can adopt all the children I want to, ca n''t I?
23782When do you s''pose we can go to see her, grandma?
23782When she had righted herself, she demanded,"Where is Glen?"
23782When she spoke, she asked absently,"What was that you were telling me about the Kentucky lady?
23782When the laughter had subsided somewhat, the President asked ruefully,"How can I make my peace with them?
23782Where are Gail and Faith?
23782Where can I take you?"
23782Where can the principal be?"
23782Where did you get the note?"
23782Where did you hear about it?"
23782Where is Hicks?
23782Where is Saint John?
23782Where is my purse?"
23782Where is my purse?"]
23782Where shall we put our wraps?
23782Where will you live if you turn your lovely house into a_ norphan_''sylum?"
23782Where''s the gate?"
23782Which shall it be?"
23782Who had a better right to adopt them than she who had found them?
23782Who wins the prize, grandpa?
23782Who''d take Miss Kinney''s part?
23782Who''d you s''pose?
23782Whom have you here?"
23782Why are huming beings so mean and horrid to each other?
23782Why could n''t we get the Home children to help us in our choruses?
23782Why could she and Allee not do the same thing for the Home children?
23782Why did n''t I stay at home with her?"
23782Why did n''t I think of that before?
23782Why did n''t I think of that before?"
23782Why did n''t she come?"
23782Why should she stay shut away from the world like a nun in her cloister?
23782Why was it Hope never did such outlandish things to cause anxiety and dismay to those around her?
23782Why, what do you mean, Peace?"
23782Why?"
23782Will he live near us?
23782Will that be hard work?"
23782Will you pretend I did n''t do it, and be friends with me again?"
23782Wo n''t she be pleased?"
23782Wo n''t that be jolly?
23782Would n''t you like a great, big bunch of them under your nose always?
23782Would n''t_ you_ like to have someone with two coats give you one?"
23782Would she be doing wrong if she took the brother and sister away without saying anything to the mother who did not know her own children any longer?
23782Would she dare jump if the screen were not in her way?
23782Would you?"
23782You did n''t bring the carriage, did you?
23782You do n''t care, do you, girls?"
23782You do n''t think I am a kidnapper, do you?
23782You do n''t want to go the same way, do you?"
23782You know our Fourth of July money?"
23782You''d make anything rhyme, would n''t you?
23782You-- you do n''t care if I give some away, do you?"
23782_ Did_ I get the prize for talking the most this noon?
23782cried Peace, squeezing Elizabeth''s hand in her astonishment and pleasure,"is it an angel singing?"
23782what would the world be to us If the children were no more?
50736A superior mutation, is that what you were going to say? 50736 About Maureen?
50736Ai n''t that nice?
50736All of them? 50736 Almost human?"
50736An asset? 50736 And Maureen?"
50736And how good was that?
50736And if we do n''t gain?
50736And lose all hope of finding her?
50736And now they ca n''t tell because they can seldom see us?
50736And then what?
50736And they knew? 50736 And you did n''t hear a thing?"
50736Anything else I can do to oblige a fellow commander?
50736Anything wrong?
50736Anyway, how did you get the robots to rush off, carrying Cameron with them?
50736Are there any questions?
50736Are you all right?
50736Are you going to the hospital with me?
50736Are you hurt?
50736Are you hurt?
50736Are you laughing or crying?
50736Are you serious about exposing them to his influence? 50736 Are you sure it was the Star Victory you saw?
50736Are you sure it will fit? 50736 Are you sure you know_ what_ she wants?
50736Are you sure? 50736 Are you sure?"
50736Are you trying to say that if I can ever get below a certain point my body will be able to keep the fungus in check?
50736As long as the gravity is functioning can there be any doubt?
50736Both of them?
50736But how far away?
50736But it''s not good enough?
50736But trust all of them, every individual butterfly, under any circumstance? 50736 But what about the others?
50736But what about theft charges? 50736 But what can you do about temperature?"
50736But what else is there? 50736 But what good is it?
50736But what of us-- Docchi, Jeriann, me-- the rest?
50736But why are we going there?
50736But why make it difficult, why waste time?
50736But why not start at one end and go through to the other side of the stacks?
50736Ca n''t we do it in some other way?
50736Ca n''t you feel my arms around you?
50736Ca n''t you see?
50736Ca n''t you stay?
50736Ca n''t you still understand what I''m saying? 50736 Cameron, can you tell Nona to start the scanner?"
50736Can or ca n''t it be done?
50736Can we? 50736 Can you do anything for Maureen?"
50736Can you get past me when I''m standing like this?
50736Can you pry off the makeup?
50736Cold?
50736Confinement?
50736Could you go and take a look?
50736Dead?
50736Diagrams, blue- prints? 50736 Did I say we''d have to watch him?
50736Did he give you any trouble?
50736Did he?
50736Did my calculations check?
50736Did what? 50736 Did you understand what I said, doctor?
50736Do I? 50736 Do n''t you ever think, General?
50736Do n''t you know? 50736 Do they know we''re here?"
50736Do we accept?
50736Do we have equipment for synthetic hormones?
50736Do we have to choose now?
50736Do we have to come up immediately?
50736Do you expect us to fight the guards?
50736Do you have any reason for wanting to stay?
50736Do you know Maureen?
50736Do you know what land surface their planet has, what a population it will support? 50736 Do you know what that means?"
50736Do you know where they''re kept?
50736Do you know why the Medicouncil refused to let you go?
50736Do you think I''m going to worry about cold?
50736Do you think she''ll benefit?
50736Do you think someone would report it? 50736 Do you think they''d take you?
50736Do you think your diagnosis is better than Cameron''s?
50736Do you understand what the risk, is, Anti? 50736 Do you?
50736Docchi?
50736Ever hear of Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus?
50736Ever reflect it''s exactly what they might think?
50736Faster than with Nona?
50736First I have to be a mathematician and then I''ve got to crawl back in the stacks? 50736 For me, wo n''t you?
50736Get Jordan, will you? 50736 Get off?"
50736Get on your back and neither of us get there?
50736Go to the ultimate authority? 50736 Got it?"
50736Guards?
50736Had to, did n''t she?
50736Has he blipped at us?
50736Have you come to help, Anti?
50736Have you ever heard of hysteria, in which the patient must be protected against himself-- and he may hurt others?
50736Have you figured it out precisely? 50736 Have you seen it in operation?"
50736Have you thought what an infinitesimal error means?
50736He''s got it, but can he push it through to them? 50736 He_ asked_ us?"
50736How can we know?
50736How can we stop them? 50736 How can you possibly weigh me as long as I have to stay in the tank?"
50736How did she get on?
50736How did you do it?
50736How do I get there?
50736How do we do it?
50736How do we find it in a hurry?
50736How do we get higher?
50736How do you feel?
50736How good is it?
50736How is she?
50736How is this for a reason?
50736How long can she continue on hypnotics?
50736How long can you live out of the acid?
50736How long does this go on?
50736How long have we actually been gone, Earth time?
50736How many are missing biologicals?
50736How much worse? 50736 How soon can you be ready?"
50736How soon can you slide into a broadcast orbit?
50736How will they know? 50736 How would you like to be a colonist?"
50736How?
50736How?
50736I mean, do they care? 50736 I take it you did n''t tell them about Jupiter and Saturn?"
50736I will-- will you?
50736Is Jeriann here?
50736Is he overtaking us?
50736Is n''t that enough?
50736Is she stupid?
50736Is that all? 50736 Is that all?"
50736Is that all?
50736Is that as close as you can come?
50736Is there something wrong with the little dial?
50736Is this it?
50736Is this what Cameron said?
50736It''s safe to leave?
50736Jordan?
50736Just a memory system? 50736 Leave without the tank?
50736Like ours is working now? 50736 May I come in?"
50736Maybe I''m stupid for asking but what''s so deadly about being in space without a spacesuit?
50736Me? 50736 Me?
50736Meanwhile, what do we eat? 50736 Memorandum number ten?
50736My mind? 50736 Next, what about hand weapons?
50736Nona?
50736Nona?
50736Not a spectroscope on the place and without one how can I measure the light shift?
50736Nothing like, say a pair of legs and a very good if slightly used spinal column with a lightning bug face stuck on top? 50736 Now how could she?"
50736Now that you''re up and moving, what do you want to do?
50736Now what does he want?
50736Now what?
50736Now what?
50736Now what?
50736Now why are they doing that?
50736Now why did n''t I think of that?
50736Now, doctor, who does know something about the gravity drive if it is n''t Docchi?
50736On the next ship? 50736 Or should I say arm in arm, Cameron?"
50736Or you?
50736Power?
50736Pure what?
50736Ready?
50736Rockets? 50736 She learned all that during the few hours we were on the ship?"
50736She seemed to understand, did n''t she? 50736 Should I sterilize it or something?"
50736Should n''t we be seeing some results?
50736Since you''re the one they''re talking about when they refer to the head of the planning committee, just what the hell_ is_ our plan?
50736Sleeping, when there''s so much to be done?
50736So the Solar Police really want us? 50736 So who cares?"
50736So you''re in charge?
50736Sort of suspicious, are n''t you?
50736Still on the aliens?
50736That look about right?
50736That so?
50736That thing? 50736 That''s all you''ve planned,"said Docchi,"wait and see what happens?"
50736That''s the answer?
50736That''s why she''s still a deficient?
50736The guards left a couple of scout ships, did n''t they? 50736 The library?"
50736The scanner will work, wo n''t it?
50736Then how can we find out?
50736Then how does she think?
50736Then there is n''t any way? 50736 Then there''s a geepee on the loose, intent on wrecking us?"
50736Then they''re still deficients?
50736Then what are we standing around for? 50736 Then what are you doing here, alive?"
50736Then what''s the use?
50736Then why call them? 50736 Then why so much concern?
50736Then you think we should go ahead with the plan we discussed before we sent in the petition? 50736 They did n''t call until they got close?"
50736They''re supposed to be that way? 50736 They''ve duplicated the drive-- have they duplicated her scanner?"
50736This is n''t the first time this has happened to her?
50736This is the best you can say, that we''ll get a wild variation of gravity, sometimes none?
50736To do what? 50736 True, but does it apply to acceleration?
50736We considered it_ might_ turn out this way, did n''t we? 50736 We get them back and then what?"
50736We''d all die if I opened it now?
50736Well, what''s wrong with her?
50736Well, why are you waiting here? 50736 Well, why do we do it?"
50736Well?
50736Well?
50736What I meant was: how did you get rid of Cameron?
50736What about Anti?
50736What about me?
50736What about symbols?
50736What about the crossover relays?
50736What about the list? 50736 What about the other deficients?
50736What are we doing about those insolent pirates? 50736 What are we going to do?"
50736What are you driving at?
50736What are you planning to do? 50736 What are you thinking about, doc?"
50736What are you waiting for?
50736What can I do when I get there? 50736 What can I do?"
50736What did I say?
50736What did it look like to you?
50736What did they say?
50736What did you do with the rockets?
50736What did you do?
50736What did you expect?
50736What do I do now?
50736What do you mean, lucky?
50736What do you respond to?
50736What do you suggest?
50736What do you suppose happened? 50736 What do you think?"
50736What do you want?
50736What else is there?
50736What goes on here? 50736 What good will it do?
50736What have I got to be careful about?
50736What if she did n''t understand?
50736What is it? 50736 What is there to know?"
50736What precautions?
50736What was the cause, a high velocity meteor strike?
50736What were they like, the aliens?
50736What''ll we do about these?
50736What''ll we do with doc?
50736What''ll we do with him?
50736What''ll we do?
50736What''s a few minutes?
50736What''s she staring at?
50736What''s the contraption?
50736What''s the matter with the poor dear?
50736What''s the matter, wo n''t it work?
50736What''s the matter?
50736What''s the matter?
50736What''s the possibility?
50736What''s the relative speed?
50736What''s wrong with the treatment we discovered? 50736 What?"
50736What?
50736What?
50736When can I walk?
50736When did I have my last capsule? 50736 When did it come?"
50736When you get back, what will you report? 50736 Where are Jordan and Anti?"
50736Where are we going? 50736 Where are you now?"
50736Where did you find him, Webber?
50736Where did you see it?
50736Where have you been the last few days?
50736Where is everyone?
50736Where is she hiding?
50736Where were you?
50736Where''ll I give it to her?
50736Where?
50736Which one is hers?
50736Which one?
50736Which one?
50736Which toe tells you that, or is it an ache in your bones? 50736 Who?
50736Who?
50736Who?
50736Who?
50736Who?
50736Who?
50736Whose orders?
50736Why build it? 50736 Why did n''t I think of that?
50736Why did n''t I think of the reasons?
50736Why did n''t you say so?
50736Why did they choose us? 50736 Why did they turn us down?"
50736Why do n''t they?
50736Why do you ask a question like that?
50736Why does it have to be a geepee?
50736Why fight it?
50736Why move it? 50736 Why not some form of that gravity drive you were talking about?
50736Why not? 50736 Why not?
50736Why not? 50736 Why not?
50736Why rockets?
50736Why should n''t I be? 50736 Why should we check?"
50736Why so tight?
50736Why wo n''t it?
50736Why?
50736Why?
50736Why?
50736Why?
50736Will somebody tell me why the general''s so polite? 50736 Will the scanner reach Earth?"
50736With fake arms and a cosmetikit? 50736 With our power?"
50736With this bag of bolts?
50736Without the goop they carry in the cosmetic kit? 50736 Would you believe it?
50736Yes, Anti?
50736Yes, but how?
50736Yes?
50736Yes?
50736You do n''t need me here, do you, General? 50736 You have no control over it?"
50736You know, do n''t you? 50736 You know?"
50736You mean that there''s criticism over the shortage of geepees?
50736You see right through me, do n''t you?
50736You think I ca n''t?
50736You think I''d let_ him_ bother me? 50736 You want to know why we use that figure?"
50736You''re certain it''s one of ours? 50736 You''re just guessing, are n''t you?
50736You''re sure she did n''t destroy her prescription?
50736You''re the one who found me, are n''t you?
50736( Alone) Were there intangible machines?
50736( What was choice?)
50736( What was silence?)
50736*****"Do you suppose she hid here when the guards were looking for her?"
50736A new drive to replace the obsolete one?
50736After all, who knows more about my condition than me?"
50736All I want to know is: when do we start the rockets?
50736All identified?"
50736Am I still invited?"
50736Am I supposed to be telepathic now?
50736And if the Star Victory could be converted easily, why not the others?
50736And now you hate women, do n''t you?
50736And that led to an elusive thought: what child was she?
50736And was there ever anything more valuable?"
50736And what was her place, according to heredity?
50736And yet, why had n''t she turned it over to Anti?
50736And, what is their size?
50736Anyway geepees are scarce and who else could do it?"
50736Are you certain a nurse or an accidental has n''t wandered in here to see what''s wrong?
50736Are you interested?"
50736Are you sure you want Docchi?
50736Are you?
50736Astronomical observations must be difficult with so many clouds and without space travel are we sure the aliens even know about this world?"
50736Belated compensation because he had refused Jeriann?
50736Besides, what did she have to work with?
50736But because-- well, why?
50736But can you imagine, doctor, the dead silence that would occur when he walks into a social gathering of normal people?"
50736But do we have to let them get close?"
50736But how long can you continue?
50736But is it worth it to us?"
50736But was there any one he could depend on?
50736But what is she doing?"
50736But what was understanding?
50736But what''ll we do then?"
50736But which one?
50736But why are you so concerned with Maureen?
50736But why not be sorry you were n''t first?"
50736But you did n''t answer my question: how much worse?"
50736Ca n''t you transplant one, or part of one, from some of us?
50736Ca n''t you turn off the gravity?"
50736Ca n''t you understand how fool- hardy you''re being?"
50736Ca n''t you understand we''re giving orders now?"
50736Cameron has Nona, has n''t he?
50736Cameron, do you want to reconsider your decision?"
50736Can I guess what she''s done now?"
50736Can I let a little light in your life?"
50736Can I talk with anyone, no matter at what distance they are?"
50736Can I trust him?"
50736Can we synthesize for them?"
50736Can you tell your superiors that you left in good order, while there was still time to continue the search?
50736Come close and try to send out men in space suits?
50736Could they?
50736Could we tell?
50736Damn it-- don''t you see_ our_ ambassadors must at least_ appear_ to be human beings?"
50736Did the doctor know this?
50736Did you ever try to land on a stationary port?"
50736Did you get an estimate of the speed?"
50736Did you really say that?"
50736Did you see anyone while we were loading your tank in the ship?"
50736Do you accept?"
50736Do you feel like work?"
50736Do you have anyone in mind?"
50736Do you know how each gravity unit is put together?"
50736Do you know how we feel?
50736Do you know what that means?"
50736Do you really want them to see him?"
50736Do you think they would n''t take me back?
50736Do you understand?"
50736Do you want to be cured and not know why?
50736Do you?"
50736Does it mean anything?"
50736Does that mean he had arms?"
50736Empty space-- but how empty?
50736Even if she_ is_ telepathic, and so far as we''re concerned she''s not, would she be better suited to life outside?"
50736Even the emergency pack?"
50736Had he said that?
50736Had she even been listening?
50736Have you gone into Docchi''s medical history?"
50736Have you got the Solar Committee reply?"
50736He''d had a thesis once, had n''t he?
50736How can you talk across this distance?"
50736How could I?
50736How could there ever be rapport?
50736How could they refuse?"
50736How did Docchi react?"
50736How did you do it?"
50736How do we get them?"
50736How do we replace the defective tubes?
50736How else can we get them?
50736How else could you test your theories except by trying them out in actual flight?"
50736How long could she keep up the glamour?
50736How long do you think you can keep either of us?"
50736How would it look if we were blown to bits in front of their eyes, in a billion homes?"
50736How, why, who did it?
50736I meant, will the expedition interfere?"
50736If there are aliens, what are they going to do?
50736In the past why did the drive work so poorly the further out it got?
50736Is it important?"
50736Is n''t it beautiful?"
50736Is n''t that so, Cameron?"
50736Is that also true of hormones concentrated from blood donations?"
50736Is that correct?"
50736Is that what it is?
50736Is there a cosmetechnician who thinks she can perform one?
50736Is there some place else you wanted to go?"
50736Is this an emergency?
50736It could be done but why jeopardize themselves further?
50736It could mean her death to move her before something was done-- but what was that something?
50736It ties right in, does n''t it?
50736It''s not an alien ship?"
50736Mountains and mountains of it?"
50736Nothing else?"
50736Now why do n''t you see Jordan about getting on the next ship?"
50736Now, Docchi, how much of the drive can you have on paper by the time we land?"
50736Now-- what was it you told her?"
50736Or Nona, Jordan, or Anti?"
50736Or could it?
50736Or do you consider her already normal?"
50736Or just some?"
50736Or will they like it better if they know you stayed until the last minute-- so late that you had to transfer your men and abandon some ships?
50736Otherwise why should n''t we let them go on spoon feeding us, rocking us to sleep every night?"
50736Overlapping so that for a time we have Earth or Earth and a half gravity?"
50736Preposterous?
50736Pure feminity could destroy her, but how long would it take?
50736Relief, and was there something else?
50736Ridiculous?
50736Right?"
50736Shall we draw up another request?"
50736Shall we go inside and see what''s wrong with them?"
50736So she had, but was it recognition of something that was_ hers_?
50736Sun?
50736Suppose she should get sick?
50736Tell me, why did you laugh when Jordan mentioned spacesuits?"
50736That''s why you called?"
50736The command unit the accidentals had labored so long to alter?
50736The region near Sol had been explored but what lay beyond?
50736The sour middle- aged nurse who''d signed up because she wanted quick credits toward retirement?
50736Then what?
50736There were worse fates-- suppose he had to abandon medicine altogether?
50736They had, but how thoroughly?
50736Think it will rain tomorrow?"
50736This was our last chance, was n''t it?"
50736Vogel, do you know where Cameron is?
50736Vogel?
50736Was it his imagination that the ship was growing larger?
50736Way down below all this flesh?
50736We''ve got centuries, have n''t we?"
50736Well, no, that was not the problem-- he knew, but would she?
50736Were nine morons brighter than one?
50736What I mean was what are you doing here?"
50736What I want to know is: how do you account for the ship?"
50736What can I do to help?"
50736What can you say to her?"
50736What could I do?
50736What did he have to be afraid of?
50736What did they have that made anything seem possible?
50736What did they plan to do?
50736What do I care except that I get tired of staring up at nothing?
50736What do I do?"
50736What do you think?"
50736What do you want to see?"
50736What else can they do?"
50736What is it?"
50736What is wrong?"
50736What kind of disservice is that, to embroil humanity in a war with the first aliens we meet?"
50736What more do you want?"
50736What was consent and how would he know when he had it?
50736What were the deficients the medicouncilor had talked about?
50736What''s available?"
50736What''s wrong?"
50736What''s wrong?"
50736What?
50736What_ could_ he explain to her?
50736When do we peel off?"
50736When they contacted us yesterday and said they''d be here in about three weeks, on an official visit, did you notice which one was prettiest?"
50736When was the last time Jeriann ate?"
50736When will you take the remaining three off the emergency list?"
50736Where did the robot get instructions?
50736Where had it come from?
50736Where was the machine going and when would it stop?
50736Where would we be if those two planets were settled, spilling over with strange creatures that could outthink us without untwining their tails?"
50736Where, in relation to their own position, was the ship that was striving to reach the Centauri group before they did?
50736Which one shall we take?"
50736Who else?
50736Who made it, anyway?"
50736Who wants to go on for years and years, never reaching any place?"
50736Who will be the first interstellar explorers-- and make the first alien contact?
50736Why ca n''t we take those back to Earth?"
50736Why could n''t they have been discovered later?
50736Why did she have to think he was responsible?
50736Why do n''t you two get busy?"
50736Why do you suppose we were so eager to agree with you?
50736Why is there some left?"
50736Why was it light without being light and dark with no darkness?
50736Why was this?
50736Why wo n''t he land unless we ask him to?"
50736Why?"
50736Will they do as well?"
50736Will we measure up?"
50736Wo n''t you revert?"
50736You did n''t have this in mind?"
50736You know that it may not work at all?"
50736You saw the scout?"
50736You took it apart for them, did n''t you?"
50736You were thinking: are they all as smart?
50736_ Then why had he asked?_"We wo n''t attempt to land until you cooperate.
23448A baby?
23448A lame_ house_?
23448A nurse? 23448 A scrap album?"
23448A-- what?
23448A_ what_?
23448After she''s washed all day?
23448Ai n''t it good milk?
23448Ai n''t that reason enough for Mrs. Wood to quit?
23448All our boys were girls,replied Peace loftily,"and some of us_ had_ to bring in the wood or else how would it have got there?"
23448Already?
23448Am I?
23448And I can paste my''lustrations in it between leaves, ca n''t I?
23448And can Dr. Coates lift it up where it b''longs?
23448And did you do it?
23448And he has n''t any relations to take care of him after he gets well?
23448And if not?
23448And must I stay in bed all that while?
23448And take up a collection?
23448And that is--?
23448And there''s no one else to help?
23448And why are you so anxious to see the bishop, my girl?
23448And why not?
23448And will the baby some day walk all right?
23448And will they keep all my_ Christmas_ packages, too?
23448And without the operation-- will she die?
23448And wo n''t I ever get it?
23448And you chose--?
23448And you could n''t pass up a dare?
23448And you do n''t want any more packages?
23448And you will, wo n''t you?
23448Any my size?
23448Apologies?
23448Are n''t you Dr. Dick''s sister?
23448Are they big or little?
23448Are you asleep, darling?
23448Are you girls_ quarreling_? 23448 Are you her father?"
23448Are you the mistress of the house today?
23448Are you then so anxious to get out of this dear little crib?
23448Are you-- have you gone and got married,--you two?
23448Are you_ sure_ there ai n''t_ any_ babies over there?
23448Are-- are there any more of you?
23448Before she fell from the fire- escape--"Was she hurt in a fire?
23448Benny?
23448Bet you meant to steal my thunder, did n''t you?
23448But ca n''t folks have special nurses when they do n''t_ need_ them, but just_ want_ them?
23448But how are you going to get her to Fairview without her knowing?
23448But how could I, so''s it would be as interesting as eating in other countries? 23448 But how is one to tell how fat a child will be when it grows up?"
23448But s''posing I have really forgotten how to laugh and-- and whistle, and be nice?
23448But supposing the proceedings do n''t amuse you?
23448But the University-- doesn''t it take_ months_ for a patient to get well after such an operation?
23448But what about the milk?
23448But what for?
23448But what for?
23448But what good will a c''lection of_ buttons_ be?
23448But what''s the matter with them?
23448But when is the wedding to be?
23448But whoever heard of a_ wedding_ in a_ hospital_?
23448But why do you keep him here now if his mother is dead?
23448But wo n''t they_ ever_ be any good?
23448But you got one anyway, did n''t you?
23448But your first name?
23448But, Kit,stammered the mystified man,"how-- why-- what?"
23448But-- but he is a physician in Fairview, is he not?
23448But-- but-- doesn''t it take longer to get married than that?
23448But-- but-- why?
23448By tomorrow?
23448Ca n''t stomach the children?
23448Ca n''t the hospital afford turkeys_ once_ a year?
23448Ca n''t what?
23448Ca n''t you get a typewriter? 23448 Can I talk when I wake up?"
23448Can_ you_ run?
23448Dickson? 23448 Did n''t I tell you that some fine day you would be walking again?"
23448Did n''t she have anything to eat in her own house?
23448Did n''t you know that before?
23448Did she make your wedding dress?
23448Did the ladies ask her to?
23448Did you come down the chimbley? 23448 Did you know him?"
23448Did you remind him that his father had intended to build this addition that we are so anxious for?
23448Did you wash dishes?
23448Did you write it all yourself?
23448Did-- did he know what you wanted it for?
23448Did-- have you been--?
23448Did_ you_ quit her?
23448Do I look very dead?
23448Do n''t I know it? 23448 Do n''t you agree with me that she would better patronize a justice of the peace?"
23448Do n''t you know him?
23448Do n''t you like me?
23448Do n''t_ any_ of you do_ anything_ to help her?
23448Do they have this every night?
23448Do what? 23448 Do what?"
23448Do you b''lieve that?
23448Do you know her?
23448Do you know how much a typewriter costs?
23448Do you know why?
23448Do you mean to say that no one has told you that I must go?
23448Do you s''pose Billy Bolee will ever get adopted?
23448Do you s''pose I''ve forgotten that day in Parker down by the barn? 23448 Do you want me to?"
23448Does Dr. Dick take care of him?
23448Does Ma know?
23448Does he like black on you?
23448Does he talk American now?
23448Does n''t it seem funny to see_ me_ going to Sunday School again? 23448 Does n''t she know?"
23448Does n''t what beat all?
23448Does she really want_ me_ to name her babies?
23448Dr. Shumway--"The minister''s son?
23448Ed? 23448 Gan-- what?"
23448Got anything tangible to work upon?
23448Grandpa, Grandpa, why could n''t_ I_ have been the one to fall and hurt my back?
23448Has n''t Mrs. Strong a sister named Esther?
23448Has your teacher?
23448Have you been bad and got stood in a corner?
23448Have you got an angel in your family, too?
23448Have you''phoned them yet this morning?
23448He has to go where he is sent, does n''t he?
23448How are we to get our addition built?
23448How can a_ house_ be lame?
23448How can they? 23448 How d''you s''pose I know?"
23448How did she happen to have so many?
23448How do you do?
23448How do you know? 23448 How do you know?"
23448How do you p''onounce these words?
23448How many are there of you?
23448How many times has Ma told you to quit calling me Tony?
23448How old is she?
23448How old was Cherry?
23448How?
23448How?
23448I am very glad you feel that way, girlie, but you see how it is, do n''t you? 23448 I do n''t want any silk scraps, but I can ask for something else, ca n''t I?"
23448I just got a_ cricket_ in my back, so it hurts a little when I wiggle; but I got Johnny''s ball, too, did n''t I?
23448I mean who told you that the people intend to kick?
23448I took that_ extinguished_ looking man over there in the corner for the bishop--"Extinguished?
23448I was afraid you would laugh at me--"Why? 23448 I wonder what Miss Wayne has done now?"
23448In a couple of days or so--"_ That_ soon?
23448In this building?
23448Is Ed your husband?
23448Is Miss Garland_ my_ author lady?
23448Is he good- looking?
23448Is it to be that soon?
23448Is it? 23448 Is it?"
23448Is it?
23448Is n''t there even any_ sunshine_ there?
23448Is n''t there something else I can send her of mine?
23448Is that all you have to do?
23448Is that you at last? 23448 Is that_ here_--in Martindale?"
23448Is the bishop to preach in_ our_ church?
23448Is there no other hope?
23448Is there such a little girl?
23448Is your mother her washwoman?
23448Is_ he_ sick?
23448It does sound like a child, does n''t it?
23448It''s perfectly awful, ai n''t it?
23448Just your old white dress and cap and apron? 23448 Legs?"
23448Making that crying noise?
23448May I come in and sit beside you?
23448Me? 23448 Miss Foster is a musician, is n''t she?"
23448Miss Wayne?
23448My dear child,he answered gravely,"do you realize that you are the luckiest girl in seven counties tonight?"
23448Nightcap? 23448 No-- o--""And what''s that you are hiding under your apron?
23448Not babies at all?
23448Now where, I wonder? 23448 Now who are you going to send them to?"
23448O, Allee,Miss Phelps heard her say as they pelted down the avenue,"do you s''pose Grandma''ll let us go over to Evelyn''s to play?
23448O, do n''t I have to think them up today? 23448 O, do you mean to write us up in a book?"
23448On what?
23448Our lovely little baby organ which has an incurable case of asthma? 23448 Peace Greenfield, what do you mean?"
23448Peace, are you awake?
23448Rhymes?
23448Rings like yours?
23448See here,blustered Tobias threateningly,"are you telling this, or me?"
23448See what they are?
23448Shall I call your nurse?
23448She is doing nicely?
23448She is here--"Where?
23448She is not doing as well?
23448She is surely in a dilemma, is n''t she?
23448Should n''t you like to?
23448Since when? 23448 So it was a chain letter, was it?"
23448So soon? 23448 So this is_ Catarrhar_, is it?"
23448So you think he looks like a bishop?
23448Somebody sent you a present?
23448That he''s homely? 23448 That long?"
23448That may all be so,Peace reluctantly admitted,"but what am I going to do now for a pattern?
23448That was a good joke on the nurses, was n''t it?
23448That''s good, but what''s the matter? 23448 The Carters and Moodys quit?"
23448The heat?
23448The man the bishop is going to send to our church? 23448 The meeting was in regard to the new preacher?"
23448The only thing is, we''re going to run out of countries pretty soon, and then what_ will_ we do? 23448 The prize?"
23448Then how about Edith, for Miss Smiley?
23448Then it''s to be the same old song and dance?
23448Then what will you do with him? 23448 Then why do they call him that?"
23448Then why not leave the decision with her?
23448They are n''t married_ yet_?
23448To the Official Board Meeting?
23448We want to do everything we can for her, and if you think there is a-- a chance--"Does she know?
23448We''ll send out a professional beggar to the different churches of the state, and then sit back and wait for the money to roll in?
23448Well, but in what country? 23448 Well, do n''t it beat all?"
23448Well, her father stood her in a pair of scales and weighed her with shingles--"With--?
23448Well, how''d you get here, Feely?
23448Well, our Kitty is neither big nor homely--"O, does n''t she look like you?
23448Well, that does complicate matters, does n''t it?
23448Well, then, how did you get to heaven?
23448Well, what are you going to do about it?
23448Well, what does it mean, Agnes? 23448 Well, where the deuce is the head mogul?
23448Well, why not?
23448Well, would n''t you? 23448 Well, you''re lame, ai n''t you?"
23448Were you?
23448Wh-- at?
23448Wh-- hat''s the matter with yours? 23448 What are their names?"
23448What can you use any c''lection for?
23448What can you use''em for?
23448What did the old codger have to say to the committee?
23448What did you do with your boy? 23448 What did you say to him, girlie?"
23448What did you say?
23448What do you know about Essie Martin?
23448What do you know about love and marriage?
23448What do you mean by that? 23448 What do you think about another operation for Peace?"
23448What do you want buttons for? 23448 What do you want of them?"
23448What do_ you_ want silk scraps for?
23448What doctor?
23448What does Henderson Meadows use his c''lection of stamps for? 23448 What does it matter?"
23448What for? 23448 What girl?"
23448What happens to the things you refuse?
23448What in the world do you mean?
23448What is a dowry, Peace?
23448What is an endless chain of letters? 23448 What is it like?
23448What is it then?
23448What is it, darling?
23448What is it?
23448What is it?
23448What is it?
23448What is the little girl''s name?
23448What is your plan?
23448What is your wish in the matter?
23448What kind of mail?
23448What kind of stories_ do_ you like best?
23448What kind of''lustrations?
23448What right had the Postmaster to my package? 23448 What secret?
23448What seems to be the matter?
23448What shall you call it?
23448What shall you choose?
23448What was it about?
23448What would the doctor say if he knew you did that?
23448What would we do without our Peace?
23448What would you like best?
23448What would you like to have me do? 23448 What''s a_ noperation_?"
23448What''s all the fuss about?
23448What''s happened to Marie?
23448What''s happened?
23448What''s the Chinese of it, if I may ask?
23448What''s the difference between a collection and a_ perscription_?
23448What''s the matter with her?
23448What''s_ your_ middle name? 23448 What_ can_ they be?
23448Whatever are you doing?
23448When did she come?
23448Where are you going?
23448Where did you get them?
23448Where have you been? 23448 Where is Essie Martin?"
23448Where is Miss Gordon? 23448 Where is he now?"
23448Where you going?
23448Where''s my pencil and postcards?
23448Where''s the mouse?
23448Who are they?
23448Who can it be?
23448Who do you s''pose she will get?
23448Who is your grandfather?
23448Who keeps house for you if your wife is an angel and your biggest children are married? 23448 Who told you that?"
23448Who was your Papa?
23448Who will operate?
23448Who would have a better right? 23448 Who''s going to do it?"
23448Who-- who-- are you?
23448Who?
23448Who?
23448Who?
23448Whom I am going to hurt?
23448Whose baby boy are you interested in now?
23448Why ai n''t she now?
23448Why ai n''t the hospital big enough as''tis? 23448 Why did n''t I think of that before?
23448Why did they tell her so soon? 23448 Why do n''t that big girl keep the others clean?
23448Why do n''t they simplify matters by having a church wedding?
23448Why do n''t you do it yourselves then?
23448Why do n''t you get a bigger book and write your own poems in it? 23448 Why do n''t you play on the piano any more?"
23448Why does n''t Dr. Coates come and_ noperate_? 23448 Why not?
23448Why not?
23448Why not?
23448Why, child, what do you mean?
23448Why, child,he whispered, all the pity and sympathy of his great heart throbbing in his voice,"are_ you_ lame?"
23448Why, childie?
23448Why, darling,cried the watchful Mrs. Campbell, kneeling beside the sobbing child and striving to soothe and comfort her,"what is the matter?
23448Why, do n''t you''member the letter Hope got last Christmas asking her to write five more just like it and send them to friends of hers?
23448Why, what are you talking about?
23448Why, what has happened?
23448Why, what in the world is the matter?
23448Why, what''s the matter?
23448Why, what--?
23448Why, where are you going?
23448Why-- why-- why--"Would Ed kick?
23448Why?
23448Will a second operation give her a chance?
23448Will it be all right soon?
23448Will it work with packages?
23448Will she ever get well again?
23448Would n''t I do?
23448Would you get your milk there if they were clean?
23448Would you really like to go?
23448Would-- would you let me see it?
23448Would_ you_ do the operating?
23448Write?
23448Yes, mademoiselle; and you are one of Dr. Campbell''s granddaughters?
23448You all think a heap of Gussie, do n''t you?
23448You are Dr. Shumway, ai n''t you? 23448 You do n''t what?"
23448You got it?
23448You have gone everywhere you wanted to, have n''t you?
23448You have n''t forgotten those dishes she cooked for you and rhymed over, have you?
23448You have walked your legs off, pretty near,--haven''t you?
23448You were n''t paying attention, were you?
23448You wo n''t laugh?
23448You-- you care?
23448Your Lilac Lady?
23448Your album? 23448 Your husband?"
23448_ Never?_gasped Peace.
23448_ Why_ do you have to go?
23448_ Without crutches?_she half whispered.
23448''Tis Swede, is n''t it?"
23448A wheel- chair?
23448Ai n''t he the homeliest ever?"
23448Ai n''t she going to be here today?"
23448Ai n''t that Swede dress pretty, Allee?
23448Ai n''t that just my luck?
23448Ai n''t your clothes got enough buttons on''em now?
23448Allee, wo n''t you bring me''Hill''s Evangel''from the Library?
23448Allee, would n''t you like to run down to the barn and ask Jud to bring us those old''Companions''from the loft?
23448And are you going to have a veil?"
23448And ca n''t a baby be named for its mother?
23448Any bones broken?"
23448Are all your children girls?"
23448Are n''t there any sick folks to take care of?"
23448Are they pretty?"
23448Are they?"
23448Are you a missionary?"
23448Are you all ready?
23448Are-- are you married yet?"
23448Asia or Africa?"
23448Bessie is''most a year old now, ai n''t she?
23448But Peace, scarcely heeding, vaguely asked,"Never mind what?
23448But how did he get here when there was n''t any money?"
23448But if you really want Essie to have the money, wo n''t you take it and buy her a doll?
23448But it was instantly quelled by a sharp rap on the desk, and when order was restored, Miss Phelps said encouragingly,"Ganymede and what, Peace?
23448But then, what was the use of objecting?
23448But who is that minister just going up the aisle?"
23448But you--""Who-- who are you?"
23448Ca n''t you have him cured?"
23448Ca n''t you hear him?"
23448Ca n''t you hear me?"
23448Ca n''t you mend me up again?
23448Ca n''t you see it''s got_ legs_?"
23448Can we manage one?"
23448Cherry, will you please bring me my scissors from the work- basket and that roll of colored cambric on the top shelf in the hall closet?
23448Coates?"
23448Could n''t you?"
23448Dick?"
23448Dick?"
23448Dick?"
23448Dick_, what have you got there?
23448Did I scatter sunshine after all?
23448Did I-- what have I said now to make you squall?"
23448Did everyone take her for a fool just because she had been in the hospital six months?
23448Did he want to keep it?"
23448Did n''t she ever go to school and play with other children?"
23448Did n''t the music sound lovely?
23448Did she really feel that way, Aunt Pen?
23448Did you chase me clear down two flights of stairs just to ask that question?"
23448Did you hurt them?
23448Did you like to think of a whole bunch of lame folks living in one house?"
23448Did you suppose I could get married without having_ you_ there, too?
23448Did you want to go so badly?"
23448Do n''t I hear her calling?"
23448Do n''t you know you must never leave your own floor without permission?
23448Do n''t you see how it would keep growing till there would be hundreds and hundreds of letters written?"
23448Do n''t you think Oak Knoll would be a nice place for her?"
23448Do n''t you think that would make an interesting play for you?"
23448Do they live with you still?"
23448Do you s''pose it makes the birds sick and dizzy every time they make a swoop?"
23448Do you s''pose they ever''xplode?
23448Do you suppose for one moment that the Hospital Board would listen to such a thing?"
23448Do you suppose the mucilage will make him sick?
23448Do you think I have cracked a rib?"
23448Do you think ours will do?"
23448Do you think she will let me in?
23448Does it feel any different having two colors instead of one?"
23448Does n''t it make you want to get out and jump rope and play marbles and leap- frog, and-- and just jump and skip and_ yell_?
23448Does n''t_ everything_ end just splendid?"
23448Does yours feel very badly cracked?"
23448Faith raised her eyebrows questioningly, but halted long enough to say,"Well?"
23448Grandma, do you know what the youngsters have been doing all this while?"
23448Grandma, will you please bring in the prize?"
23448Grandpa, must she_ die_ like they did?"
23448Has Essie still got her doll?"
23448Has anything happened to the twins?"
23448Has he got any children?"
23448Has old Tortoise- shell got some more kittens or-- Say, you have n''t put Glen in_ pants_ yet?"
23448Have you any children?"
23448Have you been dreaming?
23448Have you decided who you''re going to hurt yet?"
23448Have you forgotten?"
23448Have you got_ any_?"
23448Have you talked to Grandpa about it?"
23448He ca n''t live here always, can he?"
23448He is little, ai n''t he?
23448He was silent a moment; then as if musing aloud, he murmured,"So they mean to kick, do they?"
23448He''s always playing jokes, ai n''t he?
23448How came he there?
23448How can we bring it to pass?"
23448How could she have forgotten it?
23448How could she tell the eager listeners that long neglect had made poor Sadie''s case well- nigh hopeless?
23448How did she get here?
23448How did you come to burn your hands?"
23448How did you know her and why did n''t you tell me before?"
23448How do you pronounce them?"
23448How do you think you would like to make the dream come true?"
23448How does Dr. Race like it?"
23448How had Allee gotten there?
23448How will that do?"
23448How would you like it?"
23448How''d you like that?"
23448How?"
23448I can go in my chair, ca n''t I?
23448I do n''t want to die, but oh, Grandma, how can I stand that awful ache?"
23448I hardly know where to begin,--whether to tell about Essie first, or--""Who is Essie?"
23448I s''pose she is as big as an elephant, ai n''t she?"
23448I s''pose there is postage to pay on most of''em, too, ai n''t there?"
23448I wonder where Grandma went?
23448I wonder why, do n''t you?
23448I wonder why, do n''t you?"
23448I''m very fond of turkey, ai n''t you?"
23448I''ve been trying all the afternoon to sort out the gang--""Do what?"
23448If it was n''t pigeons, what was it?
23448Is anything troubling you?"
23448Is it for me?
23448Is it hot outside tonight, or is it just me that''s hot?"
23448Is it time to go home?"
23448Is n''t he the prettiest little fellow you ever saw, and has n''t he got the worst name?
23448Is n''t it all lovely?"
23448Is n''t it perfectly heathenish?"
23448Is n''t it perfectly lovely out- of- doors today?
23448Is n''t she-- er-- rather young?"
23448Is n''t that so?"
23448Is n''t that what you call the graves they used to put people in?"
23448Is she at it, too?"
23448Is she here?"
23448Is she very sick?
23448Is that what you mean?"
23448Is that your business, too?"
23448It has n''t changed a bit, has it?
23448It wo n''t be too cool in the auto for him without any wraps, will it?
23448It wo n''t take me more than half an hour or so in all probability, but will you care to wait for me?"
23448It''s a pity they ca n''t divide up, ai n''t it?
23448It''s been a long time since you''ve been to call on me, is n''t it?
23448It''s really mine, for she wrote it for me, did n''t she?"
23448It-- I-- oh, dear, what can I say?"
23448John?"
23448Just a--""Plain preacher?"
23448May I keep this little poem so''s I wo n''t forget any more?
23448Maybe-- don''t you think Miss Edith could tell us what to do?"
23448Mercy, I''m having a lot of''xperiences, ai n''t I?
23448Mrs. Campbell glanced up hastily from her sewing with consternation in her eyes and asked,"Has the bishop really confirmed the report?"
23448Must she lie there all the rest of her life like the Lilac Lady and Sadie Wenzell until the angels come and get her?
23448Must this little life which they loved so dearly fade away before their eyes, and they helpless to prevent?
23448Neither is Dr. Race, is he?
23448Not dead?
23448Now were n''t you?
23448O, Grandma, am I going to be like my Lilac Lady after all?
23448O, did I-- make her-- forget?"
23448O, their laughing?
23448Or the grand piano which we do n''t possess?"
23448Or will you stay here?
23448Pastor of South Avenue Church?"
23448Peace''s brown eyes were shining like stars, but all she said was,"What did he do with the author lady?"
23448Peace''s eyes had travelled rapidly through the lines, and lingered over some stanzas on the opposite page:"I wonder why the fairies hide?
23448Peace, what is it all about?"
23448S''posing Dr. Race wo n''t let you come and see me sometimes?"
23448Shall I send you down to the Library in the auto,--or to one of the stores?
23448She looked timidly toward Peace, and asked meekly,"Do n''t you s''pose Ma would scold?"
23448She must be a funny girl to figure all that out, do n''t you think?
23448She stirred uneasily, and he hurriedly asked,"Would you rather I should go away and leave you alone?"
23448She tried to speak naturally, but suspicious Peace detected the strained note in her voice, and demanded,"Were you kept after school?"
23448She''s old enough, ai n''t she?"
23448So absorbed was she that Gail, who had been a silent spectator from behind a curtained window, gently asked,"What is the matter, girlie?
23448So the brown eyes smiled bravely back, and after a moment the eager voice asked reproachfully,"Did n''t you bring the b-- the children?
23448So unexpected was the query,--for Peace had not been aware of another''s presence,--that she could think of nothing to say, and merely grunted,"Huh?"
23448Take them back to the-- the letter undertaker--""The what?"
23448Talk?"
23448That''s worth trying for, ai n''t it?"
23448The head nurse, Miss Gee,--ain''t that an awful funny name?
23448The stranger outside the gate obediently repeated,"Are you truly lame?"
23448The teacher saw the glance, and putting on her severest expression, demanded sternly,"What is the matter with you, child?
23448Then she spoke aloud, surprised at the effort it cost her,"Are you a dead nurse?"
23448Then turning puzzled, wondering eyes upon Aunt Pen, she whispered eagerly,"What does it all mean, please?
23448Then, with an effort she controlled her merriment, and asked soberly,"Was there anything you wanted?"
23448There are a pile of thankfuls in this world, ai n''t there?"
23448This time the exclamation expressed such regret that Peace asked solicitously,"What''s the matter?
23448To see Miss Edith?"
23448Very much?"
23448Was it a prayer?"
23448Was n''t that hateful?
23448Was she happier when I was with her?
23448Was that Dr. Dick speaking, or had those words been part of a dream?
23448Was the situation then so desperate?
23448Was this child among the pillows really Peace, the sunbeam of this home, the sunbeam of every home she chanced to enter?
23448Washing your faces?
23448We are going to plant a heap of wild flowers on her grave--""Whose grave?"
23448Well leave here tomorrow for Fairview--""O, do I have to go away for it?"
23448Well, what is the news about her?"
23448What album?"
23448What are you talking about?"
23448What can I pray for?"
23448What did she mean?
23448What do they look like?
23448What do they need an_ edition_ for?
23448What do we care about Herc''les and his sore heel, or Helen or Hector?--I wonder if that''s the man Hec Abbott was named after?
23448What do you s''pose Sadie''s going to do with it all?
23448What do you s''pose folks will say when I hobble in all by myself?
23448What do you think of that?
23448What if we are n''t in apple- pie order?
23448What is it about?"
23448What is that noise?
23448What is the matter?
23448What is there to laugh at?"
23448What is_ Peace_ ever going to do without those nimble, dancing feet?"
23448What kind of buttons?
23448What message could he bring to this people which would open their hearts and pocketbooks to help in the Lord''s great work?
23448What put that idea into your head?"
23448What right had he in her house?
23448What scheme?"
23448What shall you call it?
23448What should she say?
23448What was expected of her?
23448What was the last we read about?"
23448What was the use of arguing with a child?
23448What will the doctor do for a uniform,--so''s folks will know he is a doctor, I mean?
23448What would happen if the mother should slip away as our mother did?"
23448What''s the matter with the churches and how do they bleed to death?"
23448What_ had_ the story been about?
23448Whatever will I do with myself?
23448When are you going to be married?"
23448When can we see our girl?"
23448When did you get time?
23448When will it happen?"
23448Where did he live and what did he do?"
23448Where did_ you_ find out about her?"
23448Where has the time gone to?"
23448Where is the man which is going to give me the_ antiseptic_?"
23448Where is your pack, and what have you brought for me?"
23448Where was the head nurse?
23448Where?"
23448Who do you suppose it was?"
23448Who does them at your house?"
23448Who in the world was this frank, friendly creature?
23448Who is your new patient?"
23448Whose business is it if a doctor and a nurse decide to get married?
23448Why could n''t they wait till I got home?"
23448Why did n''t Essie''s mother come, too?"
23448Why did n''t anyone tell me before?"
23448Why did n''t you ever get married?
23448Why do n''t they wait till the wedding is over?"
23448Why do n''t you adopt a baby?"
23448Why do n''t you try?"
23448Why had she raised her hand?
23448Why not?"
23448Why wo n''t Robinson Danbury give them any money, and why do they think he ought to?
23448Why, St. John, must you hustle away so soon?
23448Why, has the Conference quit?
23448Why?"
23448Why?"
23448Will he wear his automobile gloves and lug his medicine v''lise?"
23448Will it buy a typewriter?"
23448Will you let me know when it is done so I can read it and see what kind of stuff you write?"
23448Will you tell her, doctor?
23448Will you, Gussie?"
23448With not even a glimpse of the world outside to make you forget for a time the cruelly aching back--""O, Grandma, not_ really_?"
23448Wo n''t it be great to see the s''prise on Miss Gordon''s face when I go into my old class with the rest of the girls?
23448Wood?"
23448Wood?"
23448Would n''t it be splendid to have a story written all about ourselves?
23448Would n''t you rather spend two or three months in bed than to hobble about on crutches all the rest of your life?"
23448Would you care to have me read it to you?"
23448You are a sure- enough doctor, ai n''t you?
23448You are rather late this morning, or am I early?
23448You could use one of those, could n''t you?
23448You did n''t mean that, now did you?"
23448You do n''t mean to say that you object?"
23448You have met Helen Wayne, have you not, Miss Kellogg?"
23448You say-- it is-- a very delicate operation?"
23448You''member you said they might have their next meeting at our house?"
23448You_ do_ look like a hog, do n''t you?
23448Your latest acquaintances?"
23448_ Now_ I can go and see some of the other sick folks, ca n''t I?"
23448gasped Edith,"are you hurt?"
23448she cried apprehensively, noting the scarlet flush on the thin cheeks,"what do you mean?
23448she exclaimed in deep contrition,"what is the matter?
23448thought Peace, when, as if in echo of her thoughts, the fourth member of the little group asked hesitatingly,"What is all the fuss about?
23448what is there left for me to do?"
4287''And love those that despitefully use us?''
4287''If it comes to that, sir,''said I,''what are you?'' 4287 ''In spite of anything?''
4287''What do you mean-- not wholly true?'' 4287 About Boyce of the King''s Watch?"
4287About Gedge--again her brow darkened and her lips set stiffly--"do you think he has his knife into young Randall Holmes?"
4287After all, what does it matter? 4287 Am I boring you with all this?"
4287Am I speaking to the man or the Mayor?
4287Ambulance or train?
4287An accident?
4287And Betty?
4287And Daniel Gedge pays a guinea a week?
4287And Phyllis?
4287And ai n''t these roses lovely? 4287 And did it go off all right?"
4287And did you get to the bottom of it?
4287And do you know why? 4287 And if he finds that the path of wisdom leads to the German trenches-- will you be glad or sorry?"
4287And if he has said that Althea Fenimore drowned herself for love of Leonard Boyce, what is there in it? 4287 And if he is n''t good?"
4287And if one was killed, would you grudge his grave a few roses? 4287 And ought n''t it to be our ideal to approximate to the divine attitude?"
4287And what did you find?
4287And what do you know?
4287And what happens to officers who are afraid?
4287And what will that answer be?
4287And when did you ask Phyllis to marry you?
4287And you''ll come to my wedding, Sergeant?
4287And you?
4287Any answer, ma''am?
4287Anything more, sir, for the present?
4287Anything more, sir?
4287Anything to do with South Africa?
4287Anything? 4287 Are n''t you going to shake hands with me?"
4287Are you going to marry him?
4287Are you going, Anthony?
4287Are you sure you''re well enough? 4287 Before I commit myself,"said I,"with the Civic Authorities, will you kindly inform me what this conference coram publico is all about?"
4287Betty dear,said I,"will you tell me what was the cause of your estrangement?"
4287Betty,he said in a low voice,"wo n''t you ever forgive me?"
4287Blackmail--?
4287Bore me, my dear?
4287But if he has n''t been spreading it, how do you know? 4287 But suppose I find some new argument?
4287But suppose you''ve bitten a specky bit by accident?
4287But what about a thing like this?
4287But what about the curses?
4287But where can the boy have gone?
4287But where did you gather your wisdom?
4287But why in the world should n''t you see him, dear?
4287But why,I asked, still somewhat bewildered,"did n''t you apply for a commission?
4287But, Betty, what put that thing suddenly into your head?
4287But, my good fellow,said I,"why the dickens should n''t we have known?"
4287By God?
4287By the way,said he,"what''s his regiment?
4287By whom else?
4287By whom?
4287Ca n''t I come round and make her acquaintance?
4287Ca n''t you give a minute''s thought to the situation? 4287 Ca n''t you see you''ve wiped out everything?"
4287Can you come round at once? 4287 Captain Connor?"
4287Come in? 4287 Could I have materials for a whisky and soda to hand?"
4287Did Mrs. Connor leave any message?
4287Did he take any luggage?
4287Did he write you any letter of condolence?
4287Did you ever hear of anything so dreadful?
4287Do n''t I think she was wrong in sending him away? 4287 Do n''t you believe it even now?"
4287Do n''t you remember she used to call him''the gilded poet''? 4287 Do n''t you think it splendid of Betty Connor to bury the hatchet so publicly?"
4287Do n''t you think, my dear,I interposed,"it depends on what your hands hold out for him to eat?"
4287Do you disapprove?
4287Do you feel good?
4287Do you hold with a man sacrificing his life for his country?
4287Do you know what that is?
4287Do you know what time it is, sir?
4287Do you know where Phyllis Gedge is?
4287Do you mind, sir, if I send in Ellen with the drinks?
4287Do you really care about me so much?
4287Do you really think so?
4287Do you remember,he said,"a talk we had about fear, in April, the first time I was over?
4287Do you suppose there''s a woman in England that, in her heart of hearts, does n''t want her men folk to fight?
4287Do you think I''d let a dunghill beast like that crow over me? 4287 Do you think I''m going to soil my mind with your dirty forgeries?"
4287Do you think he knows? 4287 Does Anthony know of this dinner party?"
4287Does Leonard know?
4287Does she know where he has gone to?
4287Eh bien?
4287Forgive me for interrupting,said I,"but what is all this discussion about?"
4287Gedge has left Wellingsford?
4287Gedge? 4287 Gedge?"
4287Gone? 4287 Gone?"
4287Guards?
4287Has it ever struck you that often a man''s most merciless creditor is himself?
4287Have n''t I been doing it for the past week?
4287Have n''t you a spark of affection for me left?
4287Have n''t you given her any warning of your arrival?
4287Have n''t you?
4287Have some more?
4287Have you asked her?
4287Have you written much?
4287How are you going to do it?
4287How are you going?
4287How could you have the heart to cut them?
4287How dare man,said I,"speak for the Almighty?"
4287How did that come about?
4287How do I know? 4287 How do I know?"
4287How do you suppose you can carry on like this?
4287How is man to know?
4287How long are you going on defying me like this?
4287How long would it take for a telegram to reach him?
4287How the deuce,said I,"am I going to get out?"
4287How''s that?
4287How?
4287I suppose Mrs. Connor,said I,"has told you all about this poor chap?"
4287I suppose you have searched her desk and things?
4287I suppose you''ve tried to send him, too, to Bournemouth?
4287I told Mrs. Holmes you were asleep, sir, and she said:''Will you be so kind as to wake him?'' 4287 I?"
4287If you''re so sure of everything,said I foolishly, relaxing grip on my self- control,"why did you hound him out of the place for a liar?"
4287In full, or on account?
4287In poor little Phyllis Gedge, I suppose?
4287In what way, sir?
4287In what way?
4287In what way?
4287Is Sir Anthony ill?
4287Is he badly hurt?
4287Is n''t it rather a question of what you''re going to do with yourself?
4287Is n''t that a kind of abstraction?
4287Is that mere guesswork?
4287Is that the fellow?
4287It could n''t have been young Holmes?
4287It sort of knocks one''s life to bits, does n''t it?
4287It would have been far too much moral exertion--"You call it moral?
4287May I ask,said I,"what is Phyllis''s attitude towards her father?"
4287May I help myself to a drink?
4287My dear Major-- serving my country? 4287 My dear boy,"I cried in a burst of enthusiasm,"have you had breakfast?"
4287My dear good fellow,I cried,"what the hell are you talking about?"
4287Need we cut those blooms of the Rayon d''Or?
4287Now that we''ve heard this blackguard, shall we hand him over to the police?
4287Now you know what kind of a fellow I am, what do you think of me?
4287Now,said I,"what the deuce are you doing in that kit?"
4287Of the Rifles?
4287Oh, ca n''t you understand?
4287Oh, it''s you, is it? 4287 On account of Willie?"
4287One thing?
4287Ought n''t one to be grateful to God for the beautiful things He gives us?
4287Perhaps he has dribbled away too?
4287Perhaps she thinks you share those opinions, and for that reason wo n''t marry you?
4287Pray, Mister Major Meredyth,said he,"what is to prevent me?"
4287Shall I take the call?
4287Sir Anthony does n''t believe there''s any truth in it?
4287South Africa--? 4287 Suppose I risk it?"
4287Suppose he has some of the people here in his power?
4287Tell me,I continued,"when did you discover the diabolical nature of the man Gedge?"
4287That I was making an ass of myself?
4287That''s all very interesting and commendable,said I,"but what has it to do with Gedge?"
4287That''s what you were afraid of when you asked about the reception?
4287The County or Wellingsford? 4287 The High Originators of the scheme seem to bear it pretty philosophically,"I rejoined;"so why should n''t we?"
4287Then the other thing? 4287 Then what on earth are you playing at?"
4287Then what was the reason? 4287 Then where does the vanity come in?"
4287Then why on earth could n''t Anthony tell me?
4287Then why wo n''t they take me, sir?
4287Then will you let me have great happiness in staying here and helping you to look after the Major?
4287Then you''ve heard nothing more about Leonard Boyce except that he has got the V.C.?
4287Then, may I ask, sir, without offence, why you''ve called in Day& Higgins?
4287Then,she retorted with a smile,"my dear Major Didymus, what more do you want?"
4287True?
4287Tufton--?
4287Was Gedge inside the drive?
4287Was Major Boyce ever seen in Wellingsford after that night? 4287 Was n''t it rather sudden?"
4287Well, do n''t you see what I''m driving at?
4287Well, what about Phyllis?
4287Well, what is it?
4287Well, what''s going to happen now?
4287Well,said he,"will you look after Phyllis when I''m gone?"
4287Well?
4287Well?
4287What Committee?
4287What about it?
4287What are you driving at, Duncan? 4287 What are you laughing at?"
4287What are you thinking of?
4287What are you to her? 4287 What are your intentions regarding the girl?"
4287What at?
4287What did I tell you?
4287What did Mrs. Boyce say in reply?
4287What did he tell you?
4287What did you say then?
4287What did you say?
4287What do you know about it?
4287What do you make of it?
4287What do you mean, Major?
4287What do you mean?
4287What do you mean?
4287What do you mean?
4287What do you propose to do?
4287What do you say?
4287What do you think is on his mind?
4287What do you think is the matter?
4287What do you think of it, Major Meredyth?
4287What do you think of it?
4287What do you want to enter into?
4287What does it matter whether he does or not?
4287What does it matter,cried Betty, when I put this view before her,"how swelled her head may be, so long as it is n''t swollen with drink?"
4287What good would it serve to stick the comparatively rare man-- I say it in all modesty-- the comparatively rare man like myself in the trenches? 4287 What happened to him?
4287What happened to him?
4287What is it that you want me to do, Betty?
4287What is it, then?
4287What lunacy are you talking? 4287 What made you attire yourself in all this splendour?"
4287What more youthfully natural,said I,"than that she should carry off the hero of the occasion-- her childhood''s playfellow?"
4287What on earth made you go there?
4287What other reason could he have? 4287 What shall I talk about?"
4287What the deuce are you doing here?
4287What the dickens is that?
4287What was his version?
4287What was that?
4287What were we talking about?
4287What would you suggest my doing, Duncan?
4287What wrong impression could I possibly have?
4287What''s going to happen now?
4287What''s that you would n''t tell, mother?
4287What''s the good of legs to a man who sits on his hunkers all day in an office and fills up Army forms? 4287 What''s the good of listening further to his lies?"
4287What''s the good of talking to this double- dyed scoundrel?
4287What''s the matter, Pardoe?
4287What''s the matter?
4287What''s the matter?
4287What''s the matter?
4287What''s the matter?
4287What''s the matter?
4287What''s this I hear? 4287 What?"
4287When are you going to eat out of my hand, Willie?
4287When did he order it?
4287When you say''things which frightened her,''do you mean in connection with her father?
4287When?
4287Where are your wits? 4287 Who is giving the reception?"
4287Who is the man, Duncan?
4287Who told you so?
4287Who was it, then?
4287Who would believe you?
4287Why South Africa?
4287Why are my father and you persecuting me to marry you?
4287Why ca n''t they give me a billet in the Army Pay and let me release a man sounder of wind and limb?
4287Why did n''t you ask her to come in to see me?
4287Why did n''t you say I was dead?
4287Why did n''t you tell me?
4287Why did you let me do such a silly thing? 4287 Why did you say''at last''?"
4287Why do n''t they take me, sir? 4287 Why gratefully?"
4287Why not let me tackle Mrs. Tufton while she is in this beautifully chastened and devotional mood? 4287 Why not, darling?
4287Why not? 4287 Why not?
4287Why should I marry him?
4287Why should Leonard Boyce be such a vastly important person? 4287 Why should he have his knife into Randall?
4287Why the dickens do you spring things like that on people while they''re shaving?
4287Why, my dear chap, have n''t I told you?
4287Why, then?
4287Why,asked Marigold woodenly,"did n''t you or I, sir, or many wiser than us, foresee the war?"
4287Why? 4287 Why?"
4287Why?
4287Why?
4287Why?
4287Will you come with me and see him, sir?
4287Will you forgive me, my dear Betty, for remarking that for the last twenty minutes you have done all the talking?
4287Will you kindly go into that house and fetch out Corporal Tufton''s kit- bag?
4287Wo n''t you let me run you round in the car?
4287Wo n''t you sit down?
4287Would it bore you if I came in for a quarter of an hour?
4287Would n''t you like him to dribble into the great flood?
4287Would you let me speak to you for half a minute, Major?
4287Yes?
4287You a barbarian? 4287 You are going to give a civic reception to- day to Colonel Boyce, V.C., are n''t you?"
4287You dashed young idiot,I cried,"do you think I''m in the habit of talking through my hat?"
4287You did, did you?
4287You do n''t mean to say you''re going to be married at last?
4287You do think she''s safe, sir?
4287You had a billet offered to you, of the kind you describe?
4287You have n''t been out there?
4287You have n''t heard that he is wounded?
4287You knew that Mr. Randall had bolted and you never told me?
4287You know we want some help in the servant staff of the hospital?
4287You know what a pot- hunter is in athletics? 4287 You mean marriage?"
4287You mean your death?
4287You promise?
4287You quite understand?
4287You refused him? 4287 You remember Althea''s visit to Scotland in January last year?"
4287You think then that the sending of Betty is a sign and a promise? 4287 You think you''re like the wise Uncle in the Sunday School books, do n''t you?"
4287You were n''t by any chance thinking of advertising our gift or contribution or whatever you like to call it in the Daily Mail?
4287You will explain, wo n''t you?
4287You wo n''t give me away, will you?
4287You''ll let me see you again, wo n''t you?
4287You''ll stay and lunch with us, Duncan?
4287You''re proud of them?
4287You''ve had all my letters, have n''t you?
4287Your eyes--?
4287Your father?
4287Your mother? 4287 ''Can I have a word with you, Major Boyce?'' 4287 --and, if he did n''t come, I did knock hell out of him-- what exactly would happen, sir?
4287A chap that is simply out for prizes?
4287A man who has paid every penalty for wrong, if wrong there was?
4287After a pause, I said:"If that is so, why do n''t you marry her?"
4287After all, what has Leonard Boyce done that he ca n''t be forgiven?
4287After we had gossiped awhile:--"You said you were very busy?"
4287And Betty?
4287And Gedge?
4287And Sir Anthony?"
4287And do n''t you think Gedge''s reason for holding his tongue very unconvincing?
4287And he''s right, dear--"she flashed me a proud glance, sweet and stabbing--"Don''t I know it?"
4287And how many brave hands of English mothers, white and delicate, coarse and toil- worn, do not demand the wondering, heart- full homage of us all?
4287And may I, too, say how deeply touched I am by your coming here?"
4287And of what save one thing could the end of a feud between lovers be the beginning?
4287And such inkling-- who would give it him?
4287And that music-- seems appropriate, do n''t it, sir?"
4287And that night of tragedy... What more likely than that she had gone forth to keep tryst with her husband and accidentally met her death?
4287And then she burst out disconcertingly:"Do you think he has gone off with that dreadful little Gedge girl?"
4287And then-- Meredyth-- this is what she said:"''You swear to marry me?''
4287And unlike all my other brother- officers, you have no reason to be jealous--""My dear fellow,"I interrupted,"what''s all this about?
4287And was I not one of the original discoverers of Mrs. Tufton?
4287And you do love and understand, do n''t you?"
4287And,"he looked at me sharply,"what do you know?"
4287And-- I do n''t ask impossibilities-- I ca n''t hold you to your previous promise-- but what about Betty Connor?"
4287Are n''t the chestnuts in flower?
4287Are n''t we told in the New Testament to forgive our enemies?"
4287Are you quite certain that I know it?"
4287As I ca n''t do it myself, will you kindly ring the bell?"
4287At last she said:"Are you sure there''s no signature?"
4287At last what do you think he said?"
4287Badly hurt?
4287Because I loved and married someone else does n''t alter the fact that I once cared for him, does it?"
4287Been overdoing it?"
4287Besides--"Unless it would lower Winterbotham''s dignity or give him a cold in the head,"said I,"why should n''t he come out here?"
4287Betty said:"Are you Mrs. Tufton?
4287But an old friend like you-- Would you like to see him?"
4287But as to your record-- are you quite certain that I know it?"
4287But did n''t she see that her treatment of him was driving him into a desperate unbelief in God and man?
4287But do you care for him sufficiently to pass a lifetime with him-- after the war-- an ordinary, commonplace lifetime?"
4287But first-- how is my mother?"
4287But how did she come to know about her son''s amours?
4287But how did you come to hear of Randall and Phyllis?"
4287But how had she learned?
4287But if they had quarrelled so bitterly, why had her father the very next day urged her to marry him?
4287But que voulez- vous?
4287But she asked the spring morning in dumb piteousness,"Oh, why has he come?
4287But what I--""Was he an officer, dear?"
4287But what about Somers''s story?
4287But what could you expect from an anarchical Turk like Gedge?
4287But what was he doing here?
4287But what was his share in it that he ca n''t be forgiven for?
4287But when had the life of Gedge and the military life of Leonard Boyce crossed?
4287But when you are not sure whether it is a fact or not, what are you to do?
4287But whenever I met him, I used to look at him and say to myself:"What''s at the back of you anyway?
4287But who am I to speak of the mysteries in the soul of a great woman?
4287But who else?
4287But why did n''t you tell me before?"
4287But would all that human sympathy and veneration could contrive keep the Furies at bay and soothe the tormented spirit?
4287But, my dear, my dear, what woman''s heart would n''t be turned to water at the sight of him?
4287But, thought I, if the strain of the situation is so great for me, what must it be for Sir Anthony?
4287By God, sir, what kind of a worm do you think I am?"
4287C?''
4287Ca n''t you marry him because you love me?"
4287Ca n''t you see my point?
4287Can I appoint you my executor?"
4287Can one picture it?
4287Can you blame me for my resentment at coming across, so to speak, a couple of pages glued together?
4287Can you throw any light on it?"
4287Captain Connor, is n''t it?
4287Come at last where your duty calls you, eh?"
4287Connor?"
4287Could it be possible that Gedge thought himself the sole repository of the secret which Boyce had so desperately confided to me?
4287Could n''t I see an inch before my blind nose?
4287Did Mary put bath- salts, as I ordered, into your bath this morning?"
4287Did ever man, in a case of conscience, have a greater responsibility?
4287Did n''t I see that he was only trying to shield her from knowledge that might kill her?
4287Did n''t I tell you I only posted the letter to- day?"
4287Did n''t you know?
4287Did you?"
4287Do n''t you think I''m right, Meredyth?"
4287Do n''t you think I''ve been extraordinarily good?"
4287Do n''t you think it would be petty of me if I stood out?
4287Do n''t you?"
4287Do you know an exquisitely pink rose-- the only true pink-- named Mrs. George Norwood?
4287Do you know anything of the men Althea used to meet at her house?"
4287Do you know?"
4287Do you mind ringing your bell for Marigold to take me away?
4287Do you really mean it?"
4287Do you remember the story of that man in the hospital?"
4287Do you remember what I said when you asked me what I should do if I won all the pots I set my heart on and came through alive?
4287Do you suppose she takes you for a symbol?
4287Do you think I have n''t kept an eye on you?
4287Do you think I''d let him imagine for a minute that anything he said could influence me in my public duty?
4287Do you think I''m a blind dodderer?
4287Do you think I''m putting you into an impossible position?"
4287Do you think any born imbecile is good enough to outwit the German Headquarters Staff?
4287Do you think it''s a refuge for fools?
4287Do you think the lives of hundreds of his men-- and perhaps the fate of thousands-- can be entrusted to any brainless ass?
4287Does it mean that I am forgiven?"
4287Eternity?"
4287Everything about me has got as hard as nails, except my palate for tobacco.... Why did n''t I apply for a commission?
4287Fit, I hope?"
4287For the sake of him would n''t you sacrifice a world of roses?"
4287For what other purpose had he come to me?
4287For who would believe my story?
4287God bless my soul, in whose interests are you acting, if not Germany''s?"
4287Gone where?
4287Had I caught her off her guard?
4287Had Sir Anthony''s valiancy stood the test?
4287Had he been able to shake hands with his daughter''s betrayer?
4287Had he broken down during the drive side by side with him, amid the hooraying of the townsfolk?
4287Had he found some madman''s means of proclaiming the scandal aloud?
4287Had he summoned me to unburden his conscience while yet there was time?
4287Had his hurt declared itself to be a mortal one?
4287Had she not been bright and happy from January to June?
4287Has it taken place yet?"
4287Have n''t I just told you I let my regiment down?"
4287Have n''t I seen you blowing as hot as you please?
4287Have n''t I seen you with the fellow?
4287Have n''t you seen them?"
4287Have you considered the terrible chances of this war?
4287He broke the silence by saying:"Have you ever seriously considered the real problems of the Balkans?"
4287He has n''t been spreading that poisonous stuff over the town?"
4287He said pleasantly:"You''re Major Meredyth, are n''t you?"
4287He said, when he had succeeded:"Better than the last time you saw me, eh, Meredyth?"
4287He supposed she had had a lot of easy money and had given way to temptation-- and----"And what''s a man to do, sir?"
4287He thinks it best to keep silent and let her fair name be untouched... What have you to say against that theory?"
4287His country, therefore, is his heir, comes in for his assets, his twenty years''allowance--""And the whole of your estate at your death?"
4287How could I have known anything of the elusiveness in her maidenhood before which he knelt so reverently?
4287How could I tell her why without betrayal of Boyce?
4287How could a man hope to conceal his goings and comings and secret actions?
4287How could he make her understand his reason for welcoming Boyce?
4287How could he prevent her from blazing the truth abroad and crying aloud for vengeance?
4287How could he tell Edith?
4287How could they thus converse over the body of the dead Althea?
4287How dare you come when you''re not wanted?"
4287How dared I, he asked, eating his words, suggest that he did not trust the most splendid woman God had ever made?
4287How did you guess?"
4287How did you guess?"
4287How do you know anything about Gedge and Colonel Boyce?
4287How is Leonard?
4287How many do you think I''m going to have?"
4287How many people do you think have any idea of it?"
4287How many times have I not heard it from wounded men healed of their wounds?
4287How much did Betty know?
4287How the dickens could I solve it at a minute''s notice?
4287How was I to know?
4287I asked my omniscient sergeant:"How did you find that out?"
4287I cried out from the car:"What''s the matter?"
4287I cried, when he had got thus far,"What did you think?
4287I dismissed Boyce, and said:--"And so you''re engaged to Captain Connor?"
4287I hear all sorts of things; mostly lies, I know; but what matter?
4287I heard one lady bid another to look at his wicked old eye, and receive the humorous rejoinder:"Which one?"
4287I only tell you all this, in which you ca n''t be interested, so that you ca n''t say:''What were you doing on a lonely road at that time of night?''
4287I said admiringly:"Do you know you''re a remarkably well- favoured young person?"
4287I said severely:"What on earth are you doing here?
4287I said,"What should I do without my Betty?"
4287I suppose Phyllis Gedge is still at the hospital?"
4287I suppose you''re going to- morrow?"
4287I told you she refused to marry me, did n''t I, sir?
4287I yelled out:''What have you been doing with the Squire''s daughter on the towing- path?''
4287I''ve convinced you, have n''t I, that there was n''t a word of truth in that South- African story?
4287If Althea was not in Galloway, where was she?
4287If a man has never been taught that he has a country, how the deuce do you expect him to love her-- still less to defend her with his blood?
4287If ever it crops up you''ll scotch it like a venomous snake?"
4287If he had not lost his balance, why should he have launched into an almost passionate defence of the physical coward?
4287If he were so delighted by my visit, why had he not crossed the lawn at once as soon as he saw the car?
4287If she learned the horror of the thing afterwards, what would be your position?
4287If there had been any affair between Althea and Boyce, the merest foolish flirtation, even, do you think it would have passed unnoticed?
4287In some astonishment she retorted:--"How did you guess?"
4287In the darkness, had she missed her footing and stepped into nothingness and the black water?
4287In the meantime ca n''t you shed something of yourself for my entertainment like others, though grosser, of your species?"
4287Into madness?
4287Is anybody killed?"
4287Is it Captain Connor?"
4287Is my brain right?
4287Is n''t it early June?
4287Is n''t that it?"
4287Is n''t the sight of him maimed like that enough to melt the heart of a stone?"
4287Is n''t the sun shining?
4287Is that the reason?"
4287Is that you, Marigold?
4287It''s a bit ironical, is n''t it?"
4287Knowing all, how could she be drawn back under the man''s fascination?
4287May I come in?"
4287May I help myself again?"
4287Might there not have been a romantic marriage which, for some reason we could not guess, she desired to keep secret for a time?
4287Not when you go round the mills here, and do your best to stop young fellows from fighting for their country?
4287Now what do you say?"
4287Now what on earth had the Balkans to do with the thoughts that must have been rolling at the back of the man''s mind?
4287Now what was Marigold going to draw inferences about?
4287Now, what concrete diabolical facts did Betty know?
4287Of course, the criminal--""What are you dragging in criminals for?"
4287Oswald Fenimore, Willie Connor, Reggie Dacre, Leonard Boyce-- how many more could I not add to the list?
4287Otherwise why did she taunt him with hiding from the light of Wellingsfordian day?
4287Remember the story of Sir Walter Scott''s boy with the butter?
4287Save that I was deeply attached to Betty, what had her discarded lover''s attitude to do with me?
4287Shall I take it down for you?"
4287She put her face very close to mine and whispered:"Do n''t you see, dear, it''s in some sort of way because of that?
4287Should I not be disingenuously serving my own ends?
4287So how can I describe to you a very important period in the lives of Betty and Boyce and me?
4287So in reply to his outburst I simply said:"What are you going to do?"
4287So what could I do, sir?"
4287Suppose Mrs. Tufton went for Marigold and spoiled his beauty?
4287THE RED PLANET CHAPTER I"Lady Fenimore''s compliments, sir, and will you be so kind as to step round to Sir Anthony at once?"
4287Tell me, how is Tufton?"
4287The Reminder of what?
4287The dispute on the point of vanity, charmingly conducted, ended by Sir Anthony saying triumphantly:--"Well, my dear, do n''t you see I''m right?"
4287The only question is-- and the question has kept Edith and myself awake the last two nights-- is what''s the best thing to do with it?
4287The only thing that worries me is this-- supposing his wife comes around here raising Cain--?"
4287The question is-- what are you going to do with it?
4287There''s no likelihood of her running away or eloping?"
4287They were making money and living warm, the only ideal of existence of which they had ever heard, and what did anything else matter?
4287They wo n''t expect me to keep on bowing, will they?
4287They''re beautiful children, are n''t they?"
4287Was I too much of an idiot to see the connection?
4287Was he going to guide a German Army to Wellingsford?
4287Was he, a modern Guy Fawkes, plotting to blow up the Town Hall while Mayor and Corporation sat in council?
4287Was it going to be a repetition, with a difference, of my last interview with Reggie Dacre?
4287Was that the attitude of Randall, whom I had known all his life long?
4287Was the cause Althea Fenimore?"
4287Was this too the secret which he let out in his cups to Randall Holmes and which drove the young man from his society?
4287We got within breathing distance of the Commando-- how many strong?"
4287Well, dear old chap, how are you?"
4287Well-- granted the whole thing was true-- why revive it after fifteen years''dead silence, and all of a sudden, just on account of an idle question?
4287Well-- you thought I was a damn little fool the other day, did n''t you?
4287What about that business at Vilboek''s Farm?"
4287What answer shall I give to- morrow?"
4287What are you doing for it?"
4287What are you doing out at this time of night?''
4287What are you going to do with me?"
4287What can we say more?
4287What could I do without her sweet intimacy?
4287What could I say?
4287What could I say?
4287What could occur in Wellingsford without it being known at once to vanmen and postmen and barbers and servants and masters and mistresses?
4287What did she know?
4287What did you say?"
4287What did young Randall mean by walking in the dark with his arm round Phyllis''s waist?
4287What do you think he means?"
4287What do you think now?"
4287What do you think of that?"
4287What does it signify?
4287What else could I make of it but the one sorry theory?
4287What else could he do without discourtesy?
4287What else could he have divulged save the Vilboek Farm affair?
4287What had I to do with him that he should rob me of my sleep?
4287What had happened?
4287What had he against the place which for so many years had been his home?
4287What happens in so many cases?
4287What has Gedge been doing?"
4287What has he come here for?"
4287What have I in the world to do that is worth doing save concern myself with my country and my friends?
4287What have one''s legs to do with a pleasant after- dinner conversation?
4287What have the dead things that have passed between us to do with my tribute as an Englishwoman?"
4287What have you to say against him?"
4287What indeed?
4287What indeed?
4287What infernal nonsense are you talking?"
4287What interested motive could he have in seeking out a useless hulk like me?
4287What is Boyce''s condition?
4287What kind of a fool''s counsel was I giving him?
4287What man?
4287What more is there to hear?"
4287What more trivial than the eating of a bit of bread and the sipping from a cup of wine?
4287What shall I do?"
4287What the deuce was the meaning of this waylaying of Boyce by Daniel Gedge?
4287What the dickens was he going to do?
4287What then?
4287What then?"
4287What then?"
4287What then?"
4287What was I to do in the future to consolidate my authority?
4287What was the use of any anathema when he would only take it away, as a dog does a bone, and enjoy it in a solitary corner?
4287What was this swell in evening dress doing there with a girl?
4287What was to be done?
4287What were you two talking to Gedge about this morning?"
4287What woman employs all this subterfuge in order to obtain a weeks liberty for any other purpose than the one elementary purpose of young humanity?
4287What would be the end?
4287What''s the good of sending him away?"
4287What''s the matter?"
4287What''s to be done now?"
4287What''s wrong with this exquisitely perfect universe?"
4287When Gedge had come to the end, he said:"Will you again tell me your object in coming to me with this disgusting story?"
4287When I had ended, he said in the same toneless way:"You have believed that all these years?"
4287When do you think he''ll come back to Wellingsford?"
4287When he had done so, she said:"Well?"
4287When he had ended,"What,"said I,"is to be done?"
4287When will he be able to be moved?
4287When?"
4287Where the deuce was this reconciliation going to lead?
4287Where was the poor devil to go?
4287Where''s your commonsense?"
4287Where''s your education?
4287Where''s your intelligent understanding of the daily papers?
4287Where, then, did the hospital defaulters get their drink?
4287Whither now would they goad him?
4287Who would believe it now?"
4287Whom had she gone forth to meet?
4287Why are n''t you serving your country?"
4287Why ca n''t people take a line and stick to it?"
4287Why could n''t he go to his own home?
4287Why did n''t you foresee such a contingency?"
4287Why do you want to know?"
4287Why enlist?
4287Why had he sent his mother on ahead?
4287Why had he suggested a dinner party?
4287Why had n''t Anthony asked the Boyces to dine quietly with Edith and himself-- with me thrown in, for instance, if they wanted exotic assistance?
4287Why had n''t I warned him?
4287Why has he come to spoil it all?"
4287Why have n''t you told him?"
4287Why jealousy?"
4287Why not a tremendous man like him?
4287Why not he?
4287Why not put her into his confidence before they started?
4287Why not take it at its face value?
4287Why should I?"
4287Why should he be tearing about aimlessly on a motor bicycle this May morning when he ought to be in France?
4287Why should he go and be killed or maimed for life?
4287Why should he have kept up a correspondence with Gedge?
4287Why should he have taken to his heels?
4287Why should n''t a woman?
4287Why wo n''t you marry me?"
4287Why, I asked, should we assume that the poor child was led astray by a villain?
4287Why, in spite of all my open- heartedness, did he still contrive to leave me with a sense of the enigmatic?
4287Why?
4287Why?
4287Why?
4287Why?
4287Why?"
4287Will it put an extra penny in his pocket or his widow''s?
4287With the same clear gaze full on me she said:--"Did n''t I tell you that I had given him my love?"
4287Would I come over and lunch?
4287Would he then go home to his penitent wife?
4287Would n''t you be proud to see him?"
4287Would not any decent soldier smite him across the face instead of grasping him by the hand?
4287You a member here?"
4287You can hear them, ca n''t you?
4287You have n''t seen her yet?"
4287You like this Mr. Randall Holmes, do n''t you?"
4287You whom I regard as the last word, the last charming and delightful word, in modern womanhood?"
4287You wo n''t shut the door on me now, will you?"
4287You would n''t like to marry a small tradesman or a working man, would you?"
4287You''re sweet on him are n''t you?"
4287and a Brigade, and perhaps a Division-- if it''s everything else imaginable except--"I snapped my fingers in imitation--"What then?"
4287gazetted?"
4287was n''t she looking stunning to- night-- in that kit?
4287what motive had I for sending all my gallant fellows to their deaths at Vilboek''s Farm?
23784A thousand pardons,Ludovic murmured,"but like what?"
23784A woman?
23784A-- a-- a real big one?
23784About those eight or ten happy families whom you wish to root so firmly in the soil, and the housing of them-- are you busy to- morrow morning?
23784Afraid of what?
23784After all are you not committing the fundamental error of reckoning without your host, Louisa?
23784Ah, then,--he paused, with an air of extraordinary intelligence--"Perhaps some one else does?"
23784All blind chance, Julius? 23784 All the rest?"
23784Always?
23784Am I really handsome?
23784Am I so very fortunate?
23784Am I wanted?
23784Am I?
23784Am I?
23784Amusement?
23784And are you getting anything of that which you wanted, Helen?
23784And are you still uncertain? 23784 And have you never told her that you loved her-- even yet?"
23784And in return for all this shall I bless? 23784 And is n''t that about the greatest giving there can be?
23784And is this so very sad?
23784And it will live?
23784And pray who and what is this disturber of domestic peace, Decies?
23784And that vow precludes marriage?
23784And then, and then?
23784And then? 23784 And there is no denying it would be a vastly more graceful one-- don''t you think so?"
23784And what about such trifles as the few hundred square miles of desert or mountain range?
23784And what do you think of him?
23784And when will that be?
23784And where, pray, would you have me live?
23784And who is to give the answer?
23784And why not?
23784And why should n''t one tell the pretty truths as well as the plain ones?--Isn''t it a positively divine night? 23784 And with what fault, I ask you, can you reproach me, save that of a too absorbing, a too generous, adoration?"
23784And you are prepared to play the part of the true friend?
23784And you could not escape?
23784And you have compared the two?
23784And you have never tried to elude that vow which-- as you once told me-- you made long ago before you knew her?
23784And you occupy it? 23784 And you really believe that?"
23784And you refuse to let any one help? 23784 And you remember what happened?
23784And you saw that which takes the warmth out of the sunshine just now?
23784And you were really hungry?
23784And your hunger is satisfied?
23784Anything I can do for you?
23784Anything fresh?
23784Anywhere and everywhere where amusement, or even the semblance of it, is to be had,he answered.--"Do you wish to know how long I shall be away?
23784Are you buying them just for me?
23784Are you easy, my dearest?
23784Are you going to the conservatories? 23784 Are you not slightly-- I ask it with all due deference and humility-- just slightly merciless?"
23784Are you so much surprised?
23784Are you tired?
23784Are-- are-- you tired of me then?
23784At second hand, then?
23784At second hand? 23784 Badly?"
23784Be''e come to zee the show, sir?
23784Been happy?
23784Better wait here, had n''t we, Sir Richard? 23784 Brockhurst is a much larger house than Whitney, is n''t it?
23784But I should be glad to know what would have become of the family by now, unless some one had come forward and taken matters in hand? 23784 But Lady Constance is happy?"
23784But do n''t banks break?
23784But does n''t it seem just a trifle rough, Miss St. Quentin, to ask him to be his own executioner?
23784But does n''t it strike you that was rather dastardly in face of what had taken place between us? 23784 But how?"
23784But it is rather a hard life, surely Richard,she said,"which you propose to yourself?
23784But supposing the sinner is not repentant, but merely cowed?
23784But when?
23784But why is it best so? 23784 But why not come in to luncheon now?"
23784But why on earth should they be sent away?
23784But why-- why-- if she is free to listen?
23784But you do n''t really mind our coming in, do you?
23784But you loved it?
23784But you''re not angry, mother, any more?
23784But you''re not displeased with me?
23784But, Dickie, my dearest?
23784But, how can you ride?
23784But-- but, dear Richard,she said plaintively, yet with very winning sweetness,"why, after all, should you want so desperately to escape?"
23784But-- but-- I''m not talked about?
23784But-- but-- do you think you can really do anything to help him, to make him happier?
23784By the bye, Katherine, how''s Mary Cathcart? 23784 By the bye, is there any further news?"
23784By the way, did you happen to observe the decorations of your room? 23784 By what strange and unlovely thoughts are you possessed to- night?"
23784Ca n''t I, though?
23784Ca n''t it? 23784 Ca n''t we sail with what we have got?"
23784Can I put that box anywhere else for you? 23784 Can nothing be done, Knott?"
23784Can one pronounce anything flattering when one sees it to be so completely deserved?
23784Can you forgive me?
23784Can you understand that the orderly serenity of your splendid house became a little oppressive? 23784 Chifney, are you nearly ready?
23784Confession?
23784Constance, do you never play?
23784Could n''t I?
23784Could n''t it, though?
23784Dear madame, are you sufficiently avenged? 23784 Dickie, Dickie, what are you implying?"
23784Dickie, there is nothing wrong, is there,--nothing the matter, to- night?
23784Did I not start by declaring you had achieved numerous successes?
23784Did he though?
23784Did he, though?
23784Did n''t he, though?
23784Did n''t you? 23784 Did not I prophesy long, long ago what my father''s attitude would be, Louisa?"
23784Did she come alone?
23784Did she, though?
23784Do I ever mind you questioning me?
23784Do I want you?
23784Do I, or do n''t I seriously wish it? 23784 Do n''t I always want you?"
23784Do n''t you hear? 23784 Do n''t you see that to be bound is the only comfort I shall have left?"
23784Do n''t you suppose I would much rather stay here at Brockhurst, at home, with you-- than sink away into the unknown?
23784Do n''t you think so, Richard?
23784Do n''t you think so, mother? 23784 Do n''t you think, on the whole, you''d better come too?"
23784Do n''t you, dear old chap? 23784 Do they, though?"
23784Do what, my own precious?
23784Do you care about racing? 23784 Do you care about riding?
23784Do you consider what you propose?
23784Do you dare to pretend not to recognise me?
23784Do you get your papers the same day here, Sir Richard?
23784Do you know, you are wonderfully dear to me, Dick?
23784Do you mean it is as serious as all that?
23784Do you mean that? 23784 Do you mean to imply that Sir Richard Calmady would have the insolence, is so much the victim of insular prejudice as, to object to our intimacy?"
23784Do you not reckon, then, in any degree, with the crime you are in process of committing? 23784 Do you see who Sir Reginald is speaking to?"
23784Do you treat her with the same cold- blooded calculation?
23784Do you venture to blame him? 23784 Do you want me?"
23784Do you, though?
23784Does he? 23784 Does it displease you?
23784Does my sister know?
23784Does that strike you as too unpractical and fantastic, contrary to sound, philanthropic principle and practice?
23784Does that surprise you? 23784 Does this seem as if I was displeased?"
23784Doing no work?
23784Driving at, driving at?
23784Eh?
23784Enjoyed your drive? 23784 Every one admires him at Oxford?"
23784Fast friends, already, and mean to remain so, do n''t we, old chap?
23784For? 23784 Forgive me.--It?
23784Forgive my indiscretion-- but why not in London?
23784Free to come? 23784 Fresh worries?"
23784From whom-- from me?
23784Games?
23784Got through, fixed it all right-- eh, Connie? 23784 Had he, though?
23784Had some breakfast?
23784Happier? 23784 Has my absence been inconvenient?
23784Has no knowledge of the received legend about this subject ever reached you?
23784Has she, though?
23784Has this woman ever been here?
23784Hate them?
23784Have I justified that belief?
23784Have they, though?
23784Have you any orders for the carriage, sir?
23784Have you been out too?
23784Have you ever read yours?
23784Have you no remnant of decency?
23784Have you though?
23784He is happy-- don''t you think, Julius?
23784He was very full of your praises, Honoria-- for the cousinship may as well be acknowledged between us, do n''t you think? 23784 Heard about me?"
23784Helen,he said rapidly,"do n''t you understand it''s in your power to alter all this?
23784Hope?
23784How are you, Dickie?
23784How can I avoid believing it?
23784How could I fail to see it, since you kindly excuse me of being, or ever having been, a simpleton?
23784How d''ye do, sir?
23784How do you find them-- the members of your sad family?
23784How do you think my mother is?
23784How in honour and decency could I do otherwise-- circumstances being such as they are, I being that which I am?
23784How is she?
23784How is the glass?
23784How long can I stay, I wonder, without making matters worse in the end, both for my father and for myself? 23784 How soon must you go?"
23784How''s this, my fine gentleman, in too much of a hurry this morning to wait for the flavour to get into your meat?
23784How?
23784However, all that will keep,he continued.--"How did you enjoy your church?
23784Hullo, old girl, what''s up? 23784 I am your darling, mother, are n''t I, just the same?
23784I beg your pardon, Lady Louisa,he said,"but before this singular dumbness overtook us all, you were saying?"
23784I can see that it''s fine-- but, dear God, is there no way out of it? 23784 I do n''t wonder,"he went on,"we''ve had a regular field- day, have n''t we?
23784I do not bore you?
23784I do not come up to the requirements of the grand passion?
23784I have not hurt you?
23784I may consider it quite settled, then, about Constance?
23784I may? 23784 I remain a simpleton?"
23784I remember it? 23784 I say, are you nearly ready?"
23784I shall see you at Lady Combmartin''s? 23784 I should n''t like to be unkind to her, mother, but do you think Clara would give me up?
23784I suppose our only thought is for Katherine-- for Lady Calmady?
23784I suppose you wanted to learn all----"Learn?
23784I want to know-- you''re sure you do n''t mind-- why you dislike the horses, and never go to the stables or take me there? 23784 I wonder if it does?"
23784If I put them down do you suppose they''ll follow? 23784 If for Ludovic''s sake, why not for hers?"
23784If he dies,Honoria said slowly,"if he dies-- poor, dear Cousin Katherine!--When can we hear again?"
23784If one kept the old wood standing, where would the saplings''chances come in?
23784Ill- use you? 23784 In the street?"
23784Indeed-- and why?
23784Indeed? 23784 Is Lady Calmady alone?"
23784Is Lady Calmady worse?
23784Is anything wrong, Winter?
23784Is he conscious?
23784Is he, though?
23784Is he, though?
23784Is it permitted to renew a certain petition?
23784Is it though?
23784Is it, though?
23784Is it, though?
23784Is n''t he, Cousin Katherine? 23784 Is n''t it rather obvious why I should think of it?"
23784Is n''t she though?
23784Is n''t that a rather superfluous question?
23784Is one''s hunger for the divinely lovely ever satisfied? 23784 Is that a warning?"
23784Is that horse, the Clown, still at the stables?
23784Is there bad news, Winter?
23784It is all very well for you to say those sort of things, Ludovic----"What sort of things?
23784It is necessary to say all this?
23784It wo n''t make you ill again?
23784It would be such an amiable and graceful experiment to try on my own people, too, would n''t it?
23784It would not be wrong? 23784 It''s not ill?"
23784Just for you?
23784Katherine,Richard Calmady called, somewhat imperatively,"Katherine, are you there?"
23784Katherine,he said quickly,"what on earth are you going to do?"
23784Kitty, can you ever forgive me for telling you this?
23784Laugh at me, mother, mock at me?
23784Left to Newlands, is n''t it?
23784Look here, old chap,he said,"what do you say to our driving over to Newlands to- morrow?
23784Marriage of a butterfly and a bat? 23784 Mary, you know what you''ve just said?"
23784May we come to luncheon as we are, Cousin Katherine?
23784Mean? 23784 Mind?
23784Miss St. Quentin,he said,"what is the use of fencing any longer?
23784Miss St. Quentin? 23784 Mother can I say something to you?"
23784Mother, may I go?
23784Mother, mother, you''ll never despise me, who ever does, will you?
23784Mother, tell me, who is it?
23784Mother, will you take me away, away from every one, at once, just as soon as possible? 23784 Mother,"he said quickly,"will you send Clara, please, to put away these books?
23784Mother,he said,"will you let in the morning?"
23784Mr. Quayle,she asked,"is it true that you are responsible for this new departure of theirs, for their coming up, I mean?"
23784Mummy, mummy darling, do n''t you see? 23784 Must I?
23784My darling, do n''t you think that is partly imagination?
23784My dear friend,he asked in quick anxiety,"what is the matter?
23784My dearest child, why stop him?
23784My dearest, what is it?
23784My dearest, why did n''t you tell me? 23784 My dears,"she said,"do you know it grows very late?"
23784My poor child, think-- how is it possible?
23784No, my lady?
23784No? 23784 Not too tired to be up early to- morrow morning and come out with me to see the horses galloped?
23784Not worried?
23784Of course,--don''t you think so? 23784 Of course-- who else could I care for?
23784Of the nameless, obtrusive, alien element, or of poor, dear Dick?
23784Our kingdom of heaven stays with us then?
23784Pardon me, my dear Miss St. Quentin,he asked sweetly,"but why the allusions to murder?
23784Plenty of fine folks, eh, Timothy?
23784Poor dear mother, do I bore you? 23784 Poor thing!--Yet, after all, what thing?"
23784Poor thing-- and you killed it? 23784 Pray why not?"
23784Prettily? 23784 Prompt and perpetual sacrifice of private conviction to party interest, for example-- how can such devotion receive recognition beyond its deserts?"
23784Rare? 23784 Really, Julius?"
23784Relieved by madame''s_ parure_ of pink topaz?
23784Responsible? 23784 Richard, Richard,"she cried,"will you never forgive me that?
23784Richard, is it really true, that which you have told me?
23784Richard, you must have known she could never satisfy you-- why did you try to marry Constance Quayle?
23784Richard,Honoria said slowly,"are you sure you do n''t greatly exaggerate all-- all that?"
23784Richard,she said impulsively,"why do n''t you understand?
23784Sailing? 23784 Satisfied?"
23784Should n''t I?
23784Sir Richard,she paused,"I am asking whether your papers reach you the same day?"
23784So Brockhurst keeps you-- I keep you, dear Julius, to the last?
23784So that we may wake up her heart?
23784So that''s the way my lady''s taken it, has she?
23784So, as you''ve trusted me thus far, Helen, do n''t you think you will trust somewhat further? 23784 So, since it''s not necessary we should reserve it as an object lesson in general ineffectualness, Miss St. Quentin, what shall we do with it?"
23784Steady? 23784 Such a lot?"
23784Superstitious?
23784Sure? 23784 Surely it is unnecessary to go over the ground again?"
23784Surely the mere adding of year to year can make no so vital difference?
23784Surely they are very happy?
23784Surely we need not waste the little time which remains in argument as to that? 23784 Tell me, does everybody do that?"
23784Tell me,Katherine said,"were you satisfied?
23784Tell me-- is she still alive, Julius, this lady whom you so loved?
23784That I am ludicrous?
23784That is nearly a mile from here, is n''t it?
23784That, Charles naturally could not inquire.--Will madame kindly remain tranquil for a moment? 23784 The ancestor worship?
23784The black dress? 23784 The function was even more distinguished for dulness than you expected?"
23784The port?
23784The women whom I reject?
23784Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered and fed thee? 23784 Then she''s not gone the way of all flesh and married?"
23784Then we are in time, Bates?
23784Then why have you delayed?--why wasted the precious days-- the precious months and years, if it comes to that?
23784Then you accept?
23784There, sit down, Shotover, wo n''t you? 23784 Think so?
23784To set her free-- and upon what grounds?
23784To the right?
23784Told you so?
23784Too bad of whom?
23784Very soul- satisfying, are n''t they, Dick?
23784Waiting for what?
23784Was it?
23784Was n''t it, though? 23784 Was she, though?"
23784We are going to enlarge our borders a bit; are n''t we, Dick? 23784 We wo n''t break rules and indulge in unbridled license as to late hours again, will we, Dick?
23784Well, then, what on earth is the matter?
23784Well, then, who remains?
23784Well, what do you make of the dust- cart? 23784 Well, what then?"
23784Well, you know, when you come to consider it from an unprejudiced standpoint, what the dickens is the use of being shy? 23784 Well?"
23784Well?
23784Were you, though? 23784 What about her?"
23784What about the Clown?
23784What conceivable object could I have in lying?
23784What do you mean?
23784What do you mean?
23784What do you say, Julius?
23784What do you say, Maria-- about time we toddled off to bed?
23784What do you think, mother?
23784What do you want?
23784What does it matter? 23784 What else did you and Dr. Knott settle-- anything else?"
23784What has brought him back? 23784 What has happened?
23784What made you think of it?
23784What matter?
23784What of all that which I said at dinner distresses you?
23784What on earth is he doing here?
23784What one thing?
23784What shall you call them?
23784What was he doing there?
23784What was the fancy for calling the yacht the_ Reprieve_?
23784What will be the extent of the delay this time?
23784What''s that?
23784What''s wrong now?
23784Whatever the odds?
23784When did you talk with Chifney?
23784When shall I return, sir?
23784Where are you going to find the labour? 23784 Where are you going, Dickie?"
23784Where did he die?
23784Which shall I wear?
23784Who is it now? 23784 Who is it?"
23784Who on earth has the power to plague you and make you miserable, or your father either?
23784Why Camp, good old friend, what brings you here? 23784 Why do n''t you tell her yourself, Uncle Roger?"
23784Why do you stay on then?
23784Why does any one stay by a sinking ship, or volunteer for a forlorn hope? 23784 Why not?"
23784Why reason about it?
23784Why should I want you? 23784 Why should you suppose I have had bad news?"
23784Why, dear Cousin Katherine,she asked,"what''s happened?
23784Why, in the name of all folly, let alone all common decency, should I behave odiously? 23784 Why, who on earth should I buy anything for but just you, I should like to know?"
23784Will it be able to walk?
23784Will it though? 23784 Will not ripen, but sour?"
23784Will those two marry?
23784Will you never comprehend, Dickie, that what is to you hateful in yourself, may to some one else be the last word of attraction, of seduction, even?
23784Will you?
23784With the ubiquitous Scotchman?
23784With whom?
23784Wo n''t you though?
23784Wonder if it''s unfair my keeping Shotover so long out of the property?
23784Would it be giving you altogether too much trouble to have them out for me?
23784Would she, though? 23784 Would she-- would her people consent?"
23784Would they, though?
23784Would you, though?
23784Would you, though?
23784Yes, it is all very lovely, is n''t it?
23784Yes, it is rather unpardonable to be-- as I am-- isn''t it?
23784You accept?
23784You and Chifney?
23784You are not sorry for that, Richard, are you? 23784 You are not trying to soften the blow to me?
23784You are really quite contented about her, then?
23784You are sure of that, mother?
23784You consider that assured?
23784You do n''t consider that I am debarred from marriage?
23784You do n''t mean to imply it is injured in any way, deformed?
23784You have a great deal to offer,Katherine said, adding:"You can care for her, Dickie?"
23784You have been out all day?
23784You have read him?
23784You liked her?
23784You mean when the yacht sails?
23784You really believe that?
23784You really think it stands in one''s way,she said reflectively,"you really think it a disadvantage, to be a woman?"
23784You really wish to hear? 23784 You reckless darling,"she went on;"do n''t you see how dangerous the least slip would be?"
23784You saw Katherine?
23784You saw that?
23784You see the house? 23784 You see, I want to decide just how long I dare stay-- if you will keep me?"
23784You silly sweet, could I ever mind coming back to you?
23784You think so?
23784You understand this little comedy? 23784 You will be tender and loving to her, Dickie?"
23784You will show it me?
23784You wo n''t mind, though, mother?
23784You young monkey,he said very gently;"so you have discovered that fact already, have you?
23784You''ll be glad too, my dearest, I trust?
23784You''ll call the boy after me, Kitty, wo n''t you? 23784 You''re not displeased with me, mummy?"
23784You''ve read the story of Blue Beard and that unpleasant locked- up room of his, where the poor little wives hung all of a row? 23784 You, who have praised it a thousand times-- you deny the existence of my genius?"
23784You-- you do n''t hate women, then?
23784You-- you have no fresh cause for anxiety about Lady Calmady?
23784Your factory hand?
23784''Be not righteous over much''--there''s a text to that effect in the Scriptures, Mr. March, is n''t there?
23784A few lovers more or less, in that connection, what, after all, does it matter?
23784Absence of desire means idiotcy, or----""Or what?"
23784Actualities and appearances here were surely radically at variance?
23784After promising, you would never jump out, would you?"
23784Always found a fox in that Grimshott gorse of his, eh, Knott?"
23784Am I not secretly glad dear Marie de Mirancourt is just sufficiently poorly to remain in her room?
23784And I told him I would-- and you''ll help me, mummy, wo n''t you?"
23784And Madame de Vallorbes''voice broke in with a singular lightness and nonchalance:--"Surely it is rather imprudent to go out again to- night?
23784And Ormiston, breaking the silence, called to him cheerily:--"Hello, old chap, what have you been up to?
23784And Richard''s clear voice rang out eagerly from the depths of the big chair--"Yes-- yes-- isn''t she, Uncle Roger-- isn''t she-- delicious?"
23784And Richard, pushed by an impulse of considerateness somewhat, it must be owned, new to him, called:--"Mother, is that you?
23784And can nothing, no one, escape the blighting touch of that canker stationed at the very foundations of being?
23784And have I not even been known-- low be it spoken-- to beat you at lawn tennis, and Lord Shotover at billiards?"
23784And if they''re not wrong, why, mother, do n''t you see, we may enjoy them, may n''t we?"
23784And may I have Winter to fetch me?
23784And say good- bye?
23784And so if I do queer things, things off the conventional lines, who will be surprised?
23784And so tell me, what do you hear about her, about Madame de Vallorbes?"
23784And so, Cousin Richard, I think,--don''t you, mother-- that this must be that same deer?"
23784And so, if I overstep the usual limits, who will comment on that?
23784And surely he had promised to be there, and to meet the famous_ prima donna_ and sup with her after the performance, as in former days at Vienna?
23784And surely she was n''t quite herself just now, there was something wrong with her?
23784And then came the question, was it true, this which the letter implied?
23784And then he wondered why they were so patient of constraint?
23784And then, that other woman of whom Richard had told her, with a cynical disregard of her own claims to admiration, who on earth could she be?
23784And then, this surely was Friday, and Morabita sang at the San Carlo to- night?
23784And then, was there not ample excuse?
23784And then-- self- distrust laying fearful hands upon her-- how would she bear it, too?
23784And then?"
23784And this was surely the wife a man should desire, modest, guileless, dutiful, pure in heart as in person?
23784And to this end the solitude, the evening quiet, the restful unrest of the forest and its wild creatures should surely have ministered?
23784And to where had that sustained purpose of striking led him?
23784And was it this pass, indeed, he asked himself, to which every human creature must needs come one day?
23784And was n''t Miss St. Quentin with you too?
23784And what if Julius, after all, were right?
23784And when does this saviour put in an appearance?"
23784And yet, where was the use?
23784And you and Miss Cathcart are great chums, are n''t you?"
23784And, heaven help us, was this the ghastly way the Clown''s name was to be made then?
23784And, if I am thus to you, upon whom, after all, I have some natural claim, what must I be to others?
23784And-- and-- for the rest, how goes it Helen?
23784And-- and-- you''ve loved me, Roger, all the while?"
23784And-- that is you, Roger, is n''t it?--you''ll keep an eye on things, wo n''t you, so that Kitty shall have no bother?
23784Anyhow the poor devil has found his way home now and come into port safely enough at last?"
23784Anything wrong with her shoulder?"
23784Are they all gone?"
23784Are you making things fly generally?"
23784Are you not rather wantonly indiscreet?"
23784Are you not tempting providence in the matter of disease, Richard?
23784Are you sure you want to ride this afternoon?
23784Are you too tired after your headache, or do you still care to go?"
23784Are you turning all their poor heads at Brockhurst?
23784Are you, too, homeless to- night?
23784As to baser sort of food, what wonder if I forgot?"
23784Ask for whatever you want.--You let me dine with you?
23784At last the boy asked rather breathlessly:"Was he killed then, mother, at once?"
23784At last, she said slowly, almost solemnly:--"Do n''t you know that for certain mistakes, and those usually the most generous, there is no redress?"
23784Be careful, ca n''t you?"
23784Beautiful mare?
23784Been riding?
23784Best?
23784But I always feel speaking is quite a minor matter, do n''t you?"
23784But about the show-- where is it please?"
23784But how should she bear it under changed conditions, amid publicity, gossip, comment?
23784But how to do that?
23784But it does n''t do to be ungracious, and we need n''t stay more than half an hour, need we, mother?"
23784But it is a mistake to go back on what is past, do n''t you think so?
23784But now surely you are satisfied?"
23784But really you forget all about it almost immediately-- every one does-- one can see that-- don''t they, Alicia?
23784But that message?--Had he really one to send?
23784But then, do you really get anywhere?"
23784But then, he asked himself almost awed, in this sceptical, rationalistic age, are such semi- miraculous moral examples still possible?
23784But then, mother, take it all round, really I do n''t grumble much, do I?"
23784But to shore up a twenty- foot, stone wall with a wisp of straw,--my dear doctor, does that proceeding approve itself to your common sense?
23784But to those other sins-- sins of defective moral courage in speech and action, sins arising from over- fastidiousness-- had he not yielded freely?
23784But to what end, to what end, I ask you?
23784But was it new, after all?
23784But was it probable she would develop sufficient imagination ever to understand, and therefore be proud of, Richard Calmady?
23784But what does that signify?
23784But what would you have?
23784But whence, oh, dear lady, this change of front?"
23784But why did you stay out here alone?"
23784But why have you deserted your master?"
23784But would the man, in point of fact, pay it?
23784But, as I told you, just on that account----""Pardon me, on what account?"
23784By the way, who''s going to valet you these holidays?
23784C''est bien lui, n''est- ce pas?_"And with that, Richard was aware of a sudden hush falling upon the assembled company.
23784C''est un monstre, n''est- ce pas, Maman_?"
23784CHAPTER IV JULIUS MARCH BEARS TESTIMONY"So you really wish me to ask them both to come, Richard?"
23784Can you honestly deny, my dear mother, that the whole affair was just one of convenience?
23784Can you put up with my temper, and my silence, and my grumbling, useless log as I must continue to be?"
23784Can you send them away?"
23784Can you tell me anything about her?"
23784Cathcart?"
23784Clara or Faulstich?"
23784Consider-- is it too late?"
23784Could it be, she asked herself, that these typified the rest of the religious, and the unrest of the secular life?
23784Could it then, in any true and vital sense, be reckoned religion at all?
23784Could that be connected in any way with the fact he had had his hair cut?
23784Destournelle?"
23784Did I entertain your people prettily?"
23784Did dear old Julius distinguish himself?
23784Did n''t quite deserve that after the way you''ve badgered him, eh, John Knott?"
23784Did not Moorcock find him a water- rail''s nest, hidden in a tuft of reeds and grass, with ten, yellowish, speckled eggs in it?
23784Did not Stamp point out to him a water- ouzel, with impudently jerking tail, dipping and wading in the shallows of the stream?
23784Did she die?"
23784Did she know, and did she love you?
23784Did she want money, he wondered?
23784Did they not mock at the essential conditions of their own lives too?
23784Did we weary you too much?"
23784Do n''t you know that you are quite the most moving, the most attractive-- well-- cousin, a woman ever had?"
23784Do n''t you know there is only one way any woman worth the name ever really learns-- through her emotions?
23784Do n''t you see riding is just the one thing to-- to make up-- to make a man of me?
23784Do n''t you see that?"
23784Do n''t you see you''re keeping Miss St. Quentin waiting?"
23784Do n''t you suppose I see how it has come about?"
23784Do n''t you think so?"
23784Do n''t you think we''d better quietly clear out?"
23784Do you always keep count of my visits?"
23784Do you believe it''s possible at all, Dr. Knott, now tell me?"
23784Do you care to come and see it all, if the afternoon is fine and not too hot?"
23784Do you care to go, Helen?"
23784Do you deny that?"
23784Do you hear?"
23784Do you imagine horses are the only animals a man drives,_ mon beau cousin_?
23784Do you know that you appear in a new and far from becoming light?"
23784Do you like them?"
23784Do you mind?"
23784Do you mind?"
23784Do you remember if she sings?"
23784Do you see?"
23784Do you suppose I want to stay here all night?
23784Do you understand?"
23784Do you want me?
23784Do you want me?"
23784Does it occur to you, Julius, how hopelessly unoriginal we are, how we all follow in the same beaten track?
23784Does it seem to you unnatural?"
23784Does my cousin entertain?
23784Does n''t it appear to you almost incredible, almost infamous that we-- you and I, mother-- should have done this thing?
23784Doing what?
23784Driving home, Richard kept silence until just as the brougham drew up, then he said abruptly:--"Tired?
23784Emerging from which temporary eclipse, she said:--"But do people stay here much?
23784For I doubted how you would take the matter----""Did you, though?"
23784For are there not always other cases?
23784For do I not still remain ignorant of the root of your sudden interest in my friend Dickie Calmady?
23784For had she not been caught up into the third heaven and heard words unspeakable, unlawful, in their entirety, for living man to utter?
23784For had there not been a savour of cruelty in his ejection of the portrait of this unhappy being from his peaceful study?
23784For how about the second clause of that same prediction?
23784For in good truth, what did it all amount to?
23784For surely her son was wholly given back to her-- his heart still free, his life still innocent?
23784For was it not he who had been so besotted with the Clown, and keen about its training?
23784For were they not together, he and she, actually and consciously reunited?
23784For who dare say that this child would ever come to the birth, or coming, what form it would bear?
23784For?"
23784Four o''clock-- that''ll suit you?
23784God in heaven, are you utterly devoid of all sensibility, all heart?
23784God, God, God,"he cried aloud, in the extremity of his passion,"why hast Thou made me thus?"
23784Had Helen, indeed, lied to him?
23784Had he not dined late?
23784Had he not leave to sit up till half- past ten o''clock?
23784Had her words sounded crude and of questionable delicacy?
23784Had it any reasonable and legitimate connection with all which has followed?"
23784Had she not been his confidant ever since his first term at Eton?
23784Had she not herself wept copiously, for the better part of a week, before finally deciding to accept George Winterbotham?
23784Had she spoken unadvisedly with her tongue?
23784Had the well- beloved Honoria, in a moment of overscrupulous conscientiousness permitted herself to hoist danger signals?
23784Has much mercy been shown to me, do you think?"
23784Have I not sent Roger and Mary away?
23784Have n''t I Camp for company?
23784Have we, by chance, got an angelic monstrosity up- stairs without being aware of it?"
23784Have you anything good?"
23784Have you no regret for your own loss in leaving me?"
23784Have you no sense of gratitude, of obligation?
23784Have you seen her lately?"
23784Have you wanted me?"
23784He had run somewhat mad in the last twenty- four hours surely?
23784He is my godson, is n''t he?
23784He wondered if it would be too much to ask Mary and Roger to give him the boy altogether?
23784His tone was that of command, for all its solicitude, as he said:--"Look here, are you sure you''ve got enough on?
23784How are they coming on?
23784How could it fail to be so, since I have lavished upon her the treasures of my extraordinary personality?
23784How could she help it?
23784How could she?
23784How could they measure the strength of the temptation which had beset her?
23784How d''ye do, Knott?
23784How did he preach?"
23784How is her voice lasting, Richard?"
23784How many more immortal glories, any one of which would satisfy an ordinary man, do you propose to swallow?"
23784How much longer do you allow him before he grows tired of filling his belly with the husks the swine eat?"
23784How should it be otherwise?
23784How should it be otherwise?
23784How then could he behave otherwise than with stupidity?
23784How then could he desert her?
23784How will you bear it all when you come to face it for yourself, and I can no longer shield you and hide you away as I can do now?
23784How would he bear it?
23784How would her proud and naturally joyous spirit bear the bitter pains of it?
23784How would little Constance Quayle view Brockhurst?
23784I am going to lay hold of life with these rather horribly strong arms of mine"--he looked across at Lady Calmady with a sneering smile.--"Strong?"
23784I am to gather, then, that you believe that which my husband advises himself to tell you?
23784I can go, ca n''t I?"
23784I have no particular faith in or admiration for marriage----""Have n''t you, though?"
23784I might even wander in here by mistake again, and that would be unpardonably indiscreet, would n''t it?
23784I need name no names, I think?"
23784I need not remind you of Sir Richard Calmady''s accident and the subsequent operation?"
23784I say though, what''s happened?
23784I say, what shall we do?
23784I shall see you before I go to- morrow?
23784I should like to know, shall you never wear anything but gray or black?"
23784I suppose I shall find you here when I''ve finished?"
23784I suppose, mother, if one''s in a good position-- the position we''re in, you know-- nobody can ill- use one very much?"
23784I thought so the day we drove over to luncheon-- when that beautiful, French cousin of yours was staying with you, you remember?"
23784I wonder if I should?"
23784I wonder if any brave bird pipes to you as my storm- cock to me?
23784I''ve been enjoying myself awfully-- you wo n''t mind?"
23784If he did not suffer, there could be no selfishness, surely, in trying to keep death at bay for a little space yet?
23784If he would never contrive to cast the simpleton wholly out of him?
23784If it does n''t bother you, would you kindly let the servants know that I''m coming down to luncheon?"
23784If presented to Richard, would he not turn angrily from it as an insult offered to his intellect and his breeding alike?
23784If temptation is strong enough, must not the tempted of necessity yield?
23784If the horses are wrong, why do we keep them?
23784If the tempted does not yield, is that not merely proof that the temptation was not strong enough?
23784If you do n''t mind?
23784Immediately, I think, please God,"he said.--But why should she make him speak thus foolishly in riddles?
23784In common justice did he not deserve villification?
23784In so doing had he not, only too possibly, committed the unpardonable sin, the sin against the Holy Ghost?
23784Indeed you''re not fair to us.--Wait----""Like Ludovic Quayle?"
23784Is he not middle- aged, and a priest into the bargain?"
23784Is it enough?"
23784Is it not an historic fact that our first mother did not escape?--Was Helen''s repentance sincere, that was the point?
23784Is n''t it rather a reflection on all the rest of us to take little Lady Constance as the measure of the insight and sensibility of the whole sex?
23784Is n''t it slightly imbecile to run a wholly gratuitous risk of adding to their number?"
23784Is not all this pitifully vain and self- indulgent?
23784Is not this, perhaps, the very deepest lesson of our religion?"
23784Is there any fresh mischief over and above the only son?"
23784It belongs to semi- barbaric ages, does n''t it, this, to tell the true truth?
23784It is n''t altogether easy to keep straight as a young boy, is it?
23784It should give me very much pleasure, should it not?
23784It was brutal, surely, to speak so plainly?
23784It was flattering, at moments, was n''t it?
23784It would not be otherwise than honourable?"
23784It would not deny him this last request, surely?
23784It would only disturb and upset her-- wouldn''t it, Alicia?"
23784It''s a safe basis to start from; do n''t you think so, Kitty?"
23784Knott?"
23784Lady Calmady cried,"do you want to break my heart quite?"
23784Lady Constance has paid already quite heavily enough, do n''t you think so?
23784Lady Constance is a pretty little girl, do n''t you think so?
23784Lamps?
23784Let them love the place-- tie them up to it----""Your socialism is rather quaintly crossed with feudalism, is n''t it?"
23784Let''s send for dear old Knott and get him to drive out the devil with his lancet?
23784Life calls, mother, do you see?
23784Like to go up to her in the stall?
23784Lord Shotover looked at Mary again, smiling.--"Little mixed that statement, is n''t it,"he said,"unless we take for granted that I''m the beast?"
23784Lord Shotover, will you take me to say good- night to your sister, Lady Louisa?"
23784Love''em?
23784Luncheon''s admittedly a movable feast, is n''t it?"
23784March?"
23784May I go too?"
23784May I recall to you the fact of the Philistine nursery?"
23784May one of the men- servants valet me?
23784Might not an hereditary fate in external events take its rise in some supreme moral or spiritual catastrophe, some violation of law?
23784Might she, therefore, come to Brockhurst to say good- bye?
23784Mother, do you remember the cabinets at home in the Long Gallery?
23784Mr. March, what''s wrong with you?
23784Mrs. Ormiston tells me she leaves here to- morrow morning?"
23784My beloved-- have you had good sport?"
23784Need it be added they promise to be less so than ever after you are gone?
23784No really nice girl ever really quite likes the idea of marriage----""Does n''t she, though?"
23784Not so ours-- eh, Clara?
23784Now was here god- given opportunity, or merely a cunningly devised snare for the taking of the unwary?
23784Now, about this young fellow Calmady''s proposal for your sister Constance?"
23784Now, will you like to go back to the house?"
23784Of course I had read plenty about the-- affections, shall we call them?
23784Once or twice it had looked rather like it.--But, after all, what did that matter?
23784Only what is the use of romancing?"
23784Only, I think, we should manage matters much better if Miss Cathcart would help us, do n''t you?"
23784Only, do n''t you see, now that I do know it''s impossible to sit down under it all and let things go on just the same.--You''re not angry with me?"
23784Only, how on earth to set the crystal free of the matrix, how to engage battle, how to get this thing fairly and squarely born?
23784Only, query, did you think of it, or was it just a bit of your usual luck?"
23784Or are you afraid-- afraid even yet, oh, very chicken- livered lover-- that behind the beauty of Naples you may find the filth?
23784Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?
23784Ormiston?"
23784Pardon me, but what on earth has happened to you?"
23784Perhaps you have never discovered that?"
23784Poor child, how could she be?
23784Quentin.--Wonder if I''d better ask her to Whitney,"he thought,"on the chance of its being Shotover?
23784Quentin?"
23784Quentin?"
23784Quentin?"
23784Quentin?"
23784Quentin?"
23784Quentin?"
23784Rather fascinating, is n''t it?
23784Rather ugly?
23784Remember the Christ crying upon the cross--''My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?''
23784Return to him?
23784Richard can you deny that?"
23784Riding, nothing like that for health-- better exercise still----""Is it?"
23784Romantic?
23784Seen a ghost?"
23784Shall I ask her to come too?"
23784Shall I refuse or shall I go?"
23784She loved these fond exaggerations-- as what woman does not who has had the good fortune to hear them?
23784She may, may n''t she?"
23784She was pleased with herself too-- for did she not feel very gentle, very sincere, really very innocent and good?
23784She wondered why?
23784She would go back into those again very shortly, so what did it matter?
23784She''s coming, I suppose?"
23784She''s quite unlike anybody else, is n''t she?"
23784Should n''t have let him slip through your fingers so early, Knott, eh?"
23784Should she stay?
23784Should we, I wonder, give thanks for it, Miss St. Quentin, that the men of my generation will mature according to a quite other pattern?"
23784So I thought I''d just slope in here, do n''t you know?
23784So is it worth the risk?
23784So it''s worth while, do n''t you think so, when your whole future, and Mr. Decies''"--she pressed the soft hand again steadily--"is at stake?
23784So she is disposed of, and then?"
23784So, will you light me to my own quarters, Aunt Katherine?
23784Suffer?
23784Surely I may make my hands dirty, once in a way, in a good cause?
23784Surely a woman''s hair should be either positively blond or black, not this indeterminate brown, with warm lights in it?
23784Surely it was large enough, he said, to afford space for all the exercise he needed?
23784Surely the dualists were right?
23784Surely,_ mon cher cousin_, surely I am innocent in your sight, as in my own?
23784Tell me I have not dared too greatly in coming thus uninvited?"
23784Tell me quick, how did the crystal come here, to whom did it belong?"
23784Tell me the rest?"
23784Tell me, what happened?
23784Tell me, what sort of man is he-- strong enough to make the most of his chance when he''s got it?"
23784That in cynical abuse of human impotence, as a wanton pastime, He sent human beings forth into the world thus ludicrously defective?
23784That these may not by some strange process be transmissible, as are traits of character, temperament, stature, colouring, feature, and face?
23784That''s all,--I suppose we may as well go now, may n''t we?"
23784That''s in the picture, is n''t it?"
23784The even flow of his speech ceased.--"What do you think of it, Helen?"
23784The fog was rather beastly this morning was n''t it?
23784The horses were pulling, the fog was in his throat thick and choking-- or was it, perhaps, something more unsubstantial and intangible even than fog?
23784The latter advanced a little and, clearing his throat, inquired huskily--"No hope at all, doctor?"
23784The only question is whose delusion is the strongest, and who, consequently, will first renew the fray?
23784The weeks passed, while Sir Richard became increasingly welcome in some of the very best houses in Paris.--And Katherine?
23784The yacht is?"
23784Then Honoria said, gently, as one asking a favour:--"Richard, will you tell me about that home of yours?
23784Then Richard permitted himself to say quietly--"You had no bad news, I hope, in those letters, Helen?"
23784Then he said, with certain hesitancy:"Mother, tell me, it is true then that I am rich?"
23784Then he said:"Are you very angry?"
23784Then repenting:--"You''ll take care of yourself wo n''t you, mother, and rest?"
23784Then she added:--"But I do n''t see, why was that?"
23784Then what separated you?
23784Then, as she put small and accurate measures of tea into a massive teapot, she added severely:--"What is all this I hear about Shotover, papa?"
23784Then, where came in the obligation to reserve these rooms?
23784There could surely be no further to go?
23784There must always be accidents sometimes, must n''t there?
23784There should be peace in the soul, surely, emancipation from questioning of transitory things in reading of the City of God?
23784This episode was over-- or rather, had it not simply failed of completion?
23784This evening, about six, after tea?
23784This strikes you as slightly ignoble?
23784Through with this business?
23784To which he answered:--"Poor, dear mother, have I cheated you of one of your few, small pleasures?
23784To whom will you cry in your turn?"
23784Twelve-- does that suit you?
23784Upset?
23784Very pleasant ending to a pleasant day, eh, Shotover?
23784Was he not a spiritual valetudinarian?
23784Was he not going out, bright and early, to- morrow morning to see the horses galloped?
23784Was it indeed too late?
23784Was it not just a trifle perfunctory, as of one who pays toll, rather than of one who claims a privilege?
23784Was it not, like all the rest, maimed, lopped off ungainly, docked?
23784Was it possible that, as old Jackie Deeds said, God Almighty had His jokes too, jokes at the expense of His own creation?
23784Was it possible, he began to ask himself, that a certain heredity in incident, in external happening, may not cling to a race?
23784Was it so very delightful to listen to that same grumbling?"
23784Was n''t he unhappy too?
23784Was n''t it a charity to employ a girl like her at all, so her mistress said?
23784Was she not equally with himself involved in it?
23784Was she not, like himself, to be cleansed and set free by it?
23784Was the game worth the candle?
23784Was the risk, not only of social scandal, but of possible_ ennui_, worth the projected act of revenge?
23784Was there anything then, which, he asking, she could refuse to give?
23784Was this, she wondered, what men and women speak of so lightly, laugh and joke about?
23784We''ve got the box as usual on Saturday, mother, have n''t we?
23784Weighed in the balances, he and his whole occupation and calling were lighter, surely, than vanity itself?
23784Well, we do n''t continually talk about the people we love best, do we, to comparative strangers?
23784Were they not his own servants, after all, and his own horses-- or would be soon, when he was grown up?
23784What brings you here?"
23784What can we do?
23784What did the use of them matter, since, used or not, the fact of his crippled condition remained?
23784What do I matter?"
23784What do you say, Helen, shall we try it?"
23784What do you say?
23784What does it matter?
23784What does it mean?"
23784What had he to show, after all, for these fifty- odd years of life granted to him?
23784What happened-- that''s what I want to arrive at-- what happened at that moment?
23784What have you been doing with yourself, eh?
23784What have you to say in self- defense, Dickie?"
23784What if Richard came to hear of them?
23784What if diabolic shapes lurked there, ready to become stealthily emergent?
23784What if she had headed him off too cleverly, and he should regard her argument as convincing, her refusal as final?
23784What if she had sinned, and trafficked with diabolic agencies, in trying to read the future?
23784What indeed?"
23784What is the next link, Julius?
23784What is the value of ever so royal a crown when the throne it represents has fallen to ruin?
23784What is this so agreeably reconciling point of view?"
23784What is unpardonable?"
23784What made you think of it?"
23784What ought I to do?
23784What possible quarrel has he with her, after all?"
23784What self- respecting panther can, after all, go a- hunting in a hen- roost?
23784What shall I do?
23784What so probable as that he would be fooled again, now?
23784What the deuce-- excuse me-- am I to say to her and all the rest of them?
23784What virtue was there, then, in being innocent of gross sin?
23784What was all the pother about after all?
23784What was his duty?
23784What would be spared she wondered, what left?
23784What would you have more?
23784What''s our baby like, Dr. Knott?
23784What?
23784Whatever are you waiting for, man?
23784When does your ladyship wish to start?"
23784When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in?
23784Where am I?"
23784Where do you say this show is?"
23784Where would they carry her, both in thought and in action?
23784Which is best?"
23784While Mr. Ouayle, leaning forward, inquired with much sweetness:--"To whom shall I talk?
23784Who am I that I should direct the action of my brother man?
23784Who has ever dared to hint at, to dream of such a thing, dear Richard?"
23784Who was he to sit in judgment?
23784Who was he, indeed, to seek revelation of glad secrets, cherish fair dreams and tempt adventures?
23784Who was he-- to- day of all days-- to be nice about the conduct of another?
23784Who was it now, Lady Calmady?"
23784Who was it then-- who?
23784Why do you underrate your own power?
23784Why had she pressed just all those matters home on him which he had agreed with himself to cast aside and forget?
23784Why not this one?
23784Why should she?
23784Why should you deceive me?"
23784Why will you die and leave us all, just because one person is perverse?
23784Why will you kill yourself?
23784Why-- but-- Constance, what''s the matter?"
23784Why?"
23784Will that suit you?
23784Will you come?
23784Will you curse the hour of your birth?"
23784Will you have a hansom?"
23784Will you have fortitude to endure, or will you become sour, vindictive, misanthropic, envious?
23784Will you take me?
23784Winter?"
23784Wonder how he''ll take it?
23784Wonder if Barking ever feels that, now?
23784Wonder what the daughter''s like?"
23784Would he never reach bottom?
23784Would her late acquired serenity of soul depart, her faith in the gracious purposes of Almighty God suffer eclipse?
23784Would it bore you awfully to speak about that now, so that he might begin to- night?"
23784Would it claim her love?
23784Would it make, eventually, for evil or for good?
23784Would she embrace the spirit of it, and make it not only the home of her fair young body, but the home of her guileless heart?
23784Would she fall back into her former condition of black anger and revolt?
23784Would she not do this?"
23784Would she-- would--?
23784Would that same spirit depart along with their departing?
23784Would you be inclined to come out with me then?
23784Would you care to hear them?"
23784Would you come with me if you could-- come through the deep sea of mist and dreams, to whatever lies beyond?"
23784Would you ring the bell, please, as you''re there?
23784Yes-- certainly Powell had had his hair cut.--"Did the gentleman give his name?"
23784Yet how the deuce could I foresee what would come about?"
23784Yet what more natural, after all, than that he should have set his affections on the Clown?
23784Yet who was he, who were those four other well- to- do gentlemen, that they should judge her at all?
23784Yet why be hard upon Louisa?
23784Yet, why must he retain it?
23784You are not angry at what I have told you?
23784You are not keeping anything back?"
23784You did me the honour to refer to me just now, I believe, my dear father?
23784You did not ask for him----""Did n''t I?"
23784You dine there too, do n''t you?
23784You do n''t agree, dearest, I know-- nevertheless pour out my tea for me, will you?
23784You do not remember the episode either?"
23784You do not suppose I should care to take that which costs me nothing?
23784You enjoyed her singing too, though, did n''t you?
23784You hardly think at this time of day I should use my proposed schemes of philanthropy as a bait?"
23784You have heard of spontaneous amputation?"
23784You know that, eh, Chifney?"
23784You like it just where it is?--Yes?
23784You looked glorious, do you mind my saying so?
23784You ought to play fair; do n''t you think so?
23784You remember him?"
23784You understand?
23784You want to go on?
23784You were saying?"
23784You will come?"
23784You will find her for me?"
23784You will not forget what is due to your wife, to your bride, in your longing for a child?"
23784You wo n''t be disgusted, or think me wanting in respect or in modesty?"
23784You wo n''t mind?"
23784You''ll agree to that now, Mr. March, wo n''t you?"
23784You''ll be glad of that, mother?"
23784You''ll come?"
23784You''ll put us down in Albert Gate?
23784You''re alone, I suppose?"
23784You''re not really in a hurry, mother, are you?
23784You''ve been magnificent, and put us under an everlasting obligation, Con and Decies, and my father and I.--Nice night, is n''t it?
23784You, you refuse to let any one share the cares of that disabled family?"
23784You-- you will forgive me for having been foolish-- or if I have bored you?"
23784Young horses going well?"
23784are there?
23784complications?"
23784does n''t it though?"
23784had she though?
23784it goes as far as that, does it?"
23784madame decides to remain then?"
23784my more than mother?"
23784my poor Kitty,"he whispered,"it takes a long time, does n''t it, this business of dying?"
23784or naked and clothed thee?
23784or thirsty and gave thee drink?
23784she asked;"in less pain?"
23784she cried,"Roger-- what is it?"
23784she cried,"come-- tell me-- is this death?"
23784she cried,"tell me, what is it?"
23784she said to herself,"is it conceivable that now, at this time of day, I am capable of the egregious folly of losing my head?"
23784so you''ve heard that story too, have you?"
23784that occurred to you, did it?"
23784there you ganger,"he shouted suddenly, and resentfully, leaning out over the bulwarks,"hurry''em up a bit, ca n''t you?
23784was there not only too real a meaning in that same ugly dream and that shifting of personality?
23784what are you driving at in respect of my very dear friend, Dickie Calmady?"
23784why,"she said,"why will you make me quarrel with you just now, just at the last?"
23784yes, where was I though?
23784yes-- indeed, are they?"
23784you bad man, what are you doing,"she cried,"trying to conceal thrilling family legends from the nearest relatives?
23784you greedy, conceited birds, which do you hold dearest after all, the filling of your little stomachs, or the supporting of your little dignities?
23784you of altogether too little faith, how should you gauge the full flavour of the fruit till you have set your teeth in it?
23784you want to bear- fight, do you?
14489''Ere? 14489 ''Evening,"said Isabel cheerfully,"what a night for rheumatics is n''t it?"
14489''Once or twice?''
14489A Jew? 14489 A worse exhibition than Val''s?"
14489Afraid of life-- I?
14489Afraid of me?
14489Afraid?
14489After all, what''s a single failure of nerve? 14489 Ai n''t you?
14489All the--?
14489Am I an unsatisfactory wife? 14489 Am I like Bernard?"
14489Am I to bestow my consent, Isabel?
14489Am I to turn on the electric light everywhere, sir?
14489Am I, Yvonne?
14489Am I-- am I talking rubbish? 14489 An easy way?"
14489And Val had to cut their wire?
14489And disappoint Isabel?
14489And do you always do as Bernard likes?
14489And do you?
14489And have we still time?
14489And he refused to open it?
14489And is n''t it luck for me, Royalty coming tonight? 14489 And it''s all right?"
14489And since when, my dear Val, has it become necessary? 14489 And then?"
14489And this then is the mysterious attraction that has kept you at Wanhope all the summer? 14489 And was Val under fire at the time?"
14489And what about Bernard?
14489And what did you think of Lawrence Hyde?
14489And what letters did you get?
14489And what''s the rumour? 14489 And will you allow me to tackle Bernard about the agency?"
14489And you knew him well, did you?
14489And you stay on? 14489 And you--?"
14489And you?
14489And, yes, Berns, you''re right, we flirted a little-- only a little: was n''t it natural? 14489 Anything wrong?"
14489Are n''t there any locked doors?--no?--I may go wherever I like?--Lawrence, are you sorry Val''s dead?
14489Are n''t there any locked doors?--no?--I may go wherever I like?--Lawrence, are you sorry Val''s dead?
14489Are n''t you always in your secret soul afraid of life?
14489Are n''t you hungry?
14489Are we going to have supper-- dinner I mean-- at a restaurant?
14489Are you Mrs. Clowes''s maid?
14489Are you a decent girl, I wonder?
14489Are you a great gardener, Miss Isabel?
14489Are you afraid of my misjudging Val? 14489 Are you aware you''ve lost the last train down?"
14489Are you better, Miss Isabel?
14489Are you better?
14489Are you coming up or not? 14489 Are you going to confess?"
14489Are you hurt, Val? 14489 Are you jealous of the dead?"
14489Are you out for a walk? 14489 Are you prepared to take high ground?
14489Are you startled?
14489Are you sure you want him? 14489 Are you tired, sweetheart?"
14489Assuming that you''ve correctly defined my standard-- why should I go?
14489At the very time? 14489 Before I grew tired of her?"
14489Beg pardon, sir, but are you going to speak to Major Clowes?
14489Bernard, have they told you the truth yet? 14489 Better now?"
14489Better so, is n''t it? 14489 Bitten by that horrible dog?
14489But Major Clowes is n''t ill?
14489But as my wife you could be as''good''as you liked?
14489But be gentle with her, she is very young.-- Yes, what is it, Fanny?
14489But can you wonder? 14489 But do they-- do they-- in there-- understand?"
14489But do you know each other so well as that?
14489But ought I to?
14489But what am I?
14489But what are you going to do?
14489But what does any man know of another man''s private life? 14489 But why do you want me to stay?"
14489But why not?
14489But why should the Gentile maiden trust a Jew?
14489But would you be a nobler character if you were poor?
14489But you do n''t mean to force your way in?
14489But you do n''t mean to say,said Lawrence incredulous,"that I shall have to walk?"
14489But you liked the fellow?
14489But you surely do n''t contemplate writing to the War Office? 14489 But, my dear fellow, what is there to forgive?
14489But, then,the question broke from Val involuntarily,"why did you stay?"
14489But-- butSelincourt could not frame a coherent question with his pale frightened lips:"you don''t-- you ca n''t think--""That he''s dying?
14489By me?
14489Ca n''t stand it, eh? 14489 Ca n''t you make that do--?"
14489Calls you Laura, does he?
14489Can I have that window shut, please?
14489Can I have this flint knife? 14489 Can you direct me to Chilmark?"
14489Can you trust your maid?
14489Captain Hyde, how dare you?
14489Cat and mouse, is it?
14489Chilmark--"Oh,Val interrupted, flinging out his delicate hands,"what''s the good of that?
14489Cold?
14489Coming in to lunch, Val?
14489Could n''t we confine the issue to ourselves?
14489D''you think he''d knock me down?
14489Dare I offer you one?
14489Dear, it''s only one of the cotton frocks I wear every day, and I could n''t go driving without a hat, could I?
14489Did Catherine make it? 14489 Did I?"
14489Did Major Clowes describe the scene truthfully?
14489Did he ask you for the honeysuckle?
14489Did he get cuffed often?
14489Did he kiss you?
14489Did he?
14489Did n''t he?
14489Did she? 14489 Did you do it on purpose?"
14489Did you ever break down like Val?
14489Did you explain to Bernard that Selincourt and Isabel were with us all the time?
14489Did you forget my skirt?
14489Did you forgive your wife?
14489Did you know Dale?
14489Did you think if Lawrence stayed on at Wanhope it must be because he admired me? 14489 Did you think you were n''t going to get anything to eat at all?"
14489Do I lead you the deuce of a life, poor old Laura?
14489Do I mean the Winchesters, Val? 14489 Do I see Val?"
14489Do all men live so?
14489Do n''t do that,said Lawrence starting:"why do you do that?"
14489Do n''t you believe me?
14489Do n''t you smoke now? 14489 Do n''t you want any strawberries?"
14489Do n''t you want to kiss me?
14489Do undo your coat, wo n''t you? 14489 Do you call Val a coward?
14489Do you care for no one but yourself?
14489Do you know much about country villages?
14489Do you like honeysuckle?
14489Do you like this chap Hyde?
14489Do you mean Chilmark or Castle Wharton? 14489 Do you mean to say that was your skirt you gave me to tie up the dog''s head in?"
14489Do you mean to say,Lawrence fastened on the point that struck him most forcibly,"that your father lets you go to such places by yourself?"
14489Do you mind going over the marsh?
14489Do you mind moving? 14489 Do you remember the nightingales at Farringay?
14489Do you see that hawk hovering? 14489 Do you think I could have leaned my head on any hands but yours?"
14489Do you want me quite naked?
14489Does Val object to them? 14489 Does Val?"
14489Does it show so plainly? 14489 Dragged it out of you?"
14489Either you or--?
14489For cowardice?
14489For what?
14489Forget what?
14489Forget you?
14489Frightened?
14489German, of course?
14489Go and find Verney, will you? 14489 Good God, why should you exercise your simple minds over the house in Brook Lane?
14489H''m, yes, you''re old friends, are n''t you? 14489 Had you any special motive in saying this to me now, Yvonne?"
14489Half past eleven is that? 14489 Has Laura been playing?
14489Has Val never told you?
14489Has he? 14489 Has it never struck you that Isabel is a pretty girl and Lawrence a good looking man?"
14489Has n''t Val come?
14489Have I won you?
14489Have I?
14489Have one of my cigars? 14489 Have you been over to the Castle in that kit, Baby?
14489Have you been wandering about in the drive all this time?
14489Have you ever seen them?
14489Have you forgotten who I am, Laura?
14489Have you had a quiet afternoon?
14489Have you had an accident? 14489 Have you spoken to Bernard?"
14489Have you written any letters?
14489He comes to church with Laura pretty regularly, but would he come if her influence were removed? 14489 He did once-- might again?"
14489He did open it, do you say?
14489He fought under a heavy handicap, and won: he paid his debt, paid it to the last farthing; and now do you grudge him his sleep? 14489 He has kept very young, has n''t he?
14489Hey? 14489 How are you, invalid?
14489How are you?
14489How do you know I kissed you, Isabel? 14489 How do you know?"
14489How far are we from a doctor?
14489How is Major Clowes? 14489 How is Major Clowes?"
14489How long did he stay?
14489How long would these take to polish one off?
14489How many telegrams have you sent today?
14489How much?
14489How old were you when you stayed at Farringay?
14489How on earth--?
14489How''s Bernard?
14489How''s the Old Man?
14489Hullo, what''s all this music lying about?
14489Hyde is?
14489I and Laura, hey?
14489I beg your pardon?
14489I ca n''t have you catching cold, or what will Val say? 14489 I do n''t know whether Val said you ought to have a new frock, though?
14489I say"What, then?
14489I should corrupt you?
14489I suppose you can tell me where my lady is, sir?
14489I suppose you will have to go into long frocks pretty soon, wo n''t you, and put your hair up?
14489I thought we had plenty of time?
14489I want you, please, to run up to her room and fetch some clothes, the sort of clothes she would wear to go out walking: you understand what I mean? 14489 I wo n''t, but why are you so shy?
14489I''ll have them sent down, shall I? 14489 I''m-- I''m not very tidy, am I?"
14489I? 14489 I?"
14489I?
14489I?
14489I?
14489I?-- My dear Miss Isabel, are n''t you a little fanciful?
14489If Lawrence must be met, why ca n''t Miller go alone?
14489If no one will have any more tea,said Isabel, jumping up and shaking the crumbs out of her lap,"will you all come and eat strawberries?"
14489If this is a specimen of what he''ll say to us, what does he say to her?
14489If you prick us shall we not bleed?
14489If you wo n''t resent my interfering? 14489 In what way, all right?"
14489Is Laura coming to see me? 14489 Is he your lover yet, Lally?
14489Is it done?
14489Is it so very bad? 14489 Is it the good old- fashioned English word that you ca n''t stomach?
14489Is it true?
14489Is it you, Isabel?
14489Is it your own idea that I stayed on at Wanhope to make love to Laura?
14489Is n''t Val coming in?
14489Is n''t it hot?
14489Is n''t she almost too slight for it?
14489Is she as nice as your Salisbury Rosalind?
14489Is that better?
14489Is that painful?
14489Is that so strange?
14489Is that what you were thinking of all the time? 14489 Is that you, Barry?
14489Is there a back staircase?
14489Is there anything else you would like to speak to me about?
14489Is there room for me too?
14489Is this definite?
14489Is this what you call the sense of sin? 14489 Is your name Catherine?
14489Isabel, do you like the look of your new home?
14489Isabel, why are you haunted by Val now? 14489 Isabel,"Lawrence murmured,"are you shy of me?"
14489Isabel,said Mr. Stafford,"how often have I told you that I will not be interrupted in the middle of my morning''s work?
14489Isabel? 14489 It all says itself, so what''s the good of saying it?
14489It shocks you, does it? 14489 Jim darling,"she murmured in his ear,"have you any money?"
14489Judge? 14489 Just gone?
14489Just touch that bell, will you, there''s a good fellow? 14489 Knows Lawrence?
14489Laura, are you there?
14489Laura, did he strike you?
14489Lawrence Hyde? 14489 Lawrence has never seen it loose,"she reflected:"surely I am rather pretty?"
14489Lawrence, are you sorry Val died?
14489Lawrence, are you there?
14489Lawrence, my darling, I do n''t want to hurt you; but tell me, did she have any children after she left you?
14489Lawrence? 14489 Legs?"
14489Let me do that for you, shall I?
14489Let me, let me?-- What was he like?
14489Like what?
14489Like--?
14489May I take off your furs for you?
14489May I--?
14489May I--?
14489May n''t I come too?
14489May n''t I even carry my own gloves?
14489Missed the last train and were obliged to stay in town?
14489Mustard? 14489 My dear, are you sure?"
14489My good chap, think I do n''t know that if you gave him a five pound note to do it Selincourt would hold the door for you?
14489My rings?
14489My wife? 14489 Need we drag in personalities?
14489Neuritis again?
14489Nice relationship, is n''t it, cousins- in- law? 14489 Nineteen are you-- or nine?
14489Nineteen? 14489 No, am I?"
14489No-- is there any?
14489Not any more?
14489Not if you get your feet wet?
14489Not?
14489Now I wonder if that''s true?
14489Now what''s in the wind?
14489Now, Val, did n''t I tell you Isabel was going to be very, very pretty? 14489 Of me?
14489Of me?
14489Oh must you have me?--all of me? 14489 Oh yes: why not?
14489Oh, but then you must be Captain Hyde,exclaimed Miss Stafford:"are n''t you?
14489Oh, how could you think that? 14489 Oh, will you?"
14489Oh? 14489 Oh?
14489Oh?
14489One locked door after all?
14489Or a French June?
14489Or is it poor Bernard? 14489 Other women who were-- who-- with whom--""Must you distress yourself like this?
14489Perhaps,she suggested,"what you would like is for me to pack a small box for her, sir?
14489Plain sailing for Bernard?
14489Please may I have my skirt?
14489Poetry? 14489 Presuming on my income, as you said-- was it last night?"
14489Put your hair up, my child? 14489 Really in pain?"
14489Really''? 14489 Really?
14489Really?
14489Really?
14489Regretful?
14489See him? 14489 See it?
14489Send him to me, will you?
14489Shall I come back or will you send the car up for me?
14489Shall I get you a biscuit? 14489 Shall I have a look at him?"
14489Shall I swear you have n''t changed? 14489 Shall I wheel you round through the garden?
14489Shall I wheel you to your room, sir?
14489Shall you feel cold?
14489Shaves himself and all that, I suppose? 14489 She seems to have, does n''t she?"
14489Should you like to live in Chelsea?
14489Sit down, wo n''t you? 14489 So safe?"
14489So you know Mrs. Clowes, do you?
14489So you''ve introduced yourself to Captain Hyde? 14489 So- so: he''s not a great talker, is he?"
14489Some one said she was nineteen, but why?
14489Surely after all these years you do n''t propose to confess, Val?
14489Surely we could find a chaperon?
14489Take what?
14489Tears because you mistrusted me?
14489Tell you what: suppose I took her tonight? 14489 That''s a good joke, is n''t it?"
14489That''s what he came for, is n''t it?
14489The brand-- the-- What''s the matter?
14489The length of the drive?
14489The vicarage?
14489Their son in the Navy, do n''t you remember? 14489 Then, dearest darling of the world, what are you crying for?"
14489There have been others, Lawrence?
14489There, you see I''m not much of an authority, am I? 14489 There: now lie still: so: is that cosy for you?
14489This evening, at dinner, were n''t there some queer undercurrents?
14489Tired?
14489To--?
14489Tomorrow, did n''t you hear me say Laura is going to bring him here to tea? 14489 Trust her?
14489Up all night and civil in the morning? 14489 Val said that?
14489Val, my boy, has any one repeated to you a nasty bit of gossip that''s going about the village?
14489Val, my darling lad,said Mr. Stafford, stumbling a little in his speech,"what-- what is this?"
14489Val, unhappy? 14489 Val, you''d pray for the devil?"
14489Val,said Mr. Stafford,"this is n''t true?"
14489Val?
14489Wants to come to us, does he? 14489 Warm tonight, is n''t it?
14489Warn her of what?
14489Was Lizzie beautiful?
14489Was he in the Dorchesters?
14489Was he very attractive? 14489 Was he?
14489Was it a relief when she died?
14489Was it well played?
14489Was it your idea or Bernard''s?
14489Was the door locked?
14489We sha n''t lose the train?
14489Well, Berns, what else are they to do?
14489Well, Val?
14489Well, did you give it up after that?
14489Well, my darling,said Laura,"and what do you think of Madeleine Wild?"
14489Well, my dear Val?
14489Well, you''re always pressing him to stay, are n''t you? 14489 Were you too left lying between the lines?"
14489Were you? 14489 What about the Staffords?
14489What about your own people?
14489What am I?
14489What became of her?
14489What became of him after Rendell died?
14489What brought him?
14489What business is it of Chilmark''s? 14489 What can I do?"
14489What did you do after lunch?
14489What do you think, Lawrence? 14489 What do you want me to do?"
14489What do you want?
14489What does that mean?
14489What has happened, dear?
14489What have you been doing today?
14489What is his class? 14489 What is it now?"
14489What is it?
14489What must I wear, Laura? 14489 What must you think of me?
14489What on earth has become of you? 14489 What other letters did you have?"
14489What pain?
14489What sort of undercurrents?
14489What sort of woman would attract him, I wonder?
14489What the devil are you strumming now?
14489What the devil is the time?
14489What time did you say our train went?
14489What time do you want breakfast? 14489 What''s all this about the Etchingham agency?"
14489What''s an old flame?
14489What''s his name?
14489What''s it to be, Captain Hyde? 14489 What''s the matter with you?"
14489What''s the matter with your skirt?
14489What''s the matter?
14489What''s the matter?
14489What''s your motive? 14489 What, no one to meet me?"
14489What--''freedom and honour''and all the rest of it?
14489What?
14489What?
14489What?
14489What?
14489When I--?
14489When did you?
14489When is Hyde coming?
14489Where are you off to now?
14489Where do these candlesticks go? 14489 Where was I to go in these clothes?
14489Where''s my man?
14489Who was that chap, Hercules was it, that pulled the temple on his own head? 14489 Who''s your friend, Lulu?"
14489Who-- Hyde? 14489 Who?"
14489Whom could I ask like this at the last moment? 14489 Why are we all so fond of Isabel?
14489Why are you forsaking us? 14489 Why ca n''t you?
14489Why did n''t you remind me?
14489Why did you raise a ghost you ca n''t lay?
14489Why do n''t you close at once?
14489Why do n''t you try massage?
14489Why do you say that: she cried--"say it like that?"
14489Why do you?
14489Why not today?
14489Why not, if they''re wrong?
14489Why not? 14489 Why on earth do n''t they put him in an asylum?"
14489Why so serious?
14489Why would n''t you go up alone? 14489 Why, do you know?"
14489Why, what''s the matter with him?
14489Why, you ca n''t imagine I should care what Bernard said?
14489Why-- why did no one warn me before?
14489Why-- why should you say that?
14489Why?
14489Will the others go on and leave us?
14489Will you be serious for half a second, you incarnation of mischief?
14489Will you be so very kind as to unlock the gate over the footbridge? 14489 Will you bring your sister, Selincourt?-- Miss Isabel, will you come with me?"
14489Will you release me from my parole?
14489Will you sit down in a chair, you sprite, and let me kneel at your ladyship''s feet?
14489With a whip?
14489Wo n''t Bernard see it for himself?
14489Wonder which of us is scarred deepest?
14489Worth while what?
14489Would n''t you hate it?
14489Would you do that?
14489Would you like this good girl of yours to come with you?
14489Wounded?
14489Yes, I dare say, but where do you come in? 14489 Yes,"said Val, hesitating:"are you staying on, then?"
14489Yes-- will you have some more bread and butter?
14489Yes... why not?
14489Yes: now are you triumphant?
14489Yes: ought n''t I to have?
14489You are n''t hurt anywhere, are you?
14489You are of the South, are you not?
14489You do n''t feel feverish, do you?
14489You do n''t mean that Laura wo n''t get home till tomorrow? 14489 You got rid of him-- This minute?
14489You mean that?
14489You must be fagged out, Val; have you been at the piano all these hours? 14489 You rascal,"he said to himself,"so that''s why you''re off Mrs. Cleve, is it?
14489You say he does n''t care to talk about his military exploits? 14489 You speak as the friend of the house who sees both sides?"
14489You think Laura would let Hyde take her to an hotel?
14489You unutterable devil,said Lawrence under his breath,"who told you that?"
14489You were asleep and you felt me kiss you?
14489You were in a damned funk were n''t you, Val?
14489You wish I pack, yes?
14489You wo n''t fail me?
14489You wo n''t touch Bernard, will you?
14489You would like to tell my cousin and his wife?
14489You would n''t rather I left you for a little while?
14489You''ll do nothing while your father''s alive: I''m glad you''ve sense enough for that: but what about your brother and sister? 14489 You''re having a bad time with him, are n''t you?"
14489You? 14489 Your what?"
14489''Contented?''
14489''Sorry to hear such a bad account of Bernard''--Very kind of him, does he want a cheque?
14489''s, which I suppose are some sort of stocks?"
14489... Well, Hyde was to be given the hint to take himself off, and surely no more than such a hint would be necessary?
14489.?
14489?"
14489A boy of nineteen-- what on earth would it have signified?
14489A little too much one of a class, perhaps: there''s a strong family likeness, is n''t there, between Cambridge undergraduates?
14489A lolloping splash off the bank into the water-- what was that?
14489A picnic?"
14489A quoi revent les junes filles?
14489After all, what am I to do?
14489Amiable- looking, fair boy, was n''t he?"
14489Amiable?
14489And Hadow''s is the one to go to, is n''t it?
14489And Isabel?
14489And Lawrence?
14489And are those sapphires mine, and can I drink my tea out of this roseleaf Dresden cup?
14489And court Isabel under the eyes of all Chilmark?
14489And how I have been longing for it all the evening, have n''t you?
14489And is n''t it rather too late to lock the door?
14489And nothing in your hand but a stick?
14489And what do you call that French thing?
14489And what other woman is there in Chilmark that he''d walk across the road to look at?"
14489And yet after all why dangerous?
14489And yet-- suppose Isabel were deceiving herself?
14489And you''re meeting him?
14489And, for that matter, why should any one take a liberty with Dorrie Drury''s sister?
14489Are n''t you going to bed?"
14489Are n''t you tired?"
14489Are there many trout in this river, I wonder?
14489Are you always content with your rustic ideals, Val?
14489Are you coming round to Wanhope?
14489Are you frightened of the night air, Laura?
14489Are you on the borderland of virtue still, or over it?"
14489Are you still interested in pretty girls, M. le capitaine?"
14489Are you there, Hyde?''
14489Awkward, is n''t it?
14489Back-- so--''ere, m''sieur?"
14489Bad thoughts are different, but facts, good or bad, coarse or refined, are the stuff the world''s made of, and why should we shut our eyes to them?
14489Because I came--?
14489Behind her badinage was she half in earnest?
14489Ben could wait, but what of Mrs. Ben?
14489Bernard killed him: but who put the weapon into Bernard''s hand?"
14489But I woke up directly after, and heard a rustling in the wood, and I-- I knew, do n''t ask me: I could feel-""This?"
14489But I''ll send him down, shall I, to see you and Captain Hyde after supper?--Tired?
14489But I''m not a hall- marked Israelite, am I?
14489But Lawrence is one of those people who will feel responsible if they have ladies with them on the Day of Judgment, wo n''t you, Lawrence?"
14489But as between him and Lizzie?
14489But ca n''t you drag him out into the sun?
14489But her older self comforted her child''s self: careless was he, and composed?
14489But how should a civilian understand?
14489But just?
14489But of the men who were in the trenches with us that night how many are left?
14489But perhaps after the fireworks of last night the devil had gone out of him for a season?
14489But surely you of all men can trust my discretion--?"
14489But the Army doctors said the shot must have been fired at close quarters?"
14489But the child-- little Miss Isabel-- won''t she do?"
14489But the good does n''t any longer counterbalance the involuntary mischief: has n''t for some time past: ca n''t you see it for yourself?
14489But the ruck of people?
14489But there are a lot of modern mechanical appliances, are n''t there, that ought to make him fairly independent?"
14489But there have been other women, have n''t there, since your wife left you?"
14489But there was nothing in it except that I hated leaving you, there never has been; I ca n''t discuss it, but there''s no tie, no-- do you understand?"
14489But what can I do?"
14489But what had he said to put Val to flight?
14489But why specially unhappy now?
14489But would she, while Ben was engaged in carpet- beating?
14489But would you have thought he had any feelings?
14489By night and alone?
14489By the by, was he really in pain just now?"
14489By the by, you know her, do n''t you?
14489By the way, I suppose you wo n''t be staying any length of time at Wanhope?"
14489CHAPTER IV"How do?"
14489Ca n''t be done, my, girl, but what a good fellow I am to ask Lawrence to Wanhope, ai n''t I?
14489Ca n''t you give me any tips?"
14489Can you follow that?
14489Can you get back to tea tomorrow?
14489Clowes?"
14489Clowes?"
14489Come, you do like me-- confess now-- you like me better than Val?"
14489Could you let me have enough to buy one ready- made?
14489Did I tell you that the brute of a Dane bit her?"
14489Did he have a good night and was he in a-- was he cheerful today?"
14489Did he say whether he liked his room?"
14489Did it never strike you that I might retort with a tu quoque?"
14489Did n''t your friend enjoy it?"
14489Did she expect to be happy?
14489Did we ever believe in a reason?
14489Did you ever know such another case so complete, so prolonged?"
14489Did you see Mrs. Clowes today?
14489Did you see the start he gave?
14489Did you tell him I was coming?"
14489Did you want to see him?"
14489Do I lead you the deuce of a life, Lally?"
14489Do n''t gabble: read distinctly if you can-- you''re supposed to be an educated woman, are n''t you?"
14489Do n''t you recollect his going to see you in hospital?"
14489Do n''t you see, idiot,"this was exclusively to Rowsley,"when I pin my hair up I shall turn into a grown up lady?
14489Do n''t you, Val?"
14489Do people wear evening dress?
14489Do you catch cold easily?"
14489Do you do good with your money?"
14489Do you know anything of his people?"
14489Do you know he''s a pukka sportsman and has shot all over the world?
14489Do you know what I''m going to do?
14489Do you mind leaving it at that?
14489Do you mind showing me the way to Wanhope?"
14489Do you never analyze your own behaviour?
14489Do you object?
14489Do you read poetry, Val?"
14489Do you remember Tom?
14489Do you remember that night you all dined with us, sir, when we were in billets?
14489Do you remember?"
14489Do you think I should shed many tears if you walked out of the house and never came back?
14489Do you think it can ever again be the same between us?"
14489Does he hate having me here?"
14489Does he know himself?"
14489Does it seem so long ago?"
14489Does one reform one''s friends?
14489Does that stand for me-- am I really Isabel Hyde?
14489Egyptian, is n''t it?
14489Even then, when every one was so brave, you would say, would n''t you, that Val earned his distinction?
14489Ever shoot with a cordite rifle?"
14489Everything we possess-- your happiness, our love, the children you''ll give me-- don''t you hold it all at the sword''s point?
14489Faithful?
14489Give Lawrence a drink, will you, my love?
14489Good heavens, had he ever admired her?
14489Had any one of them kept sane that night-- those many nights?
14489Had he?
14489Has he been with you all that time?
14489Has he said anything to offend you?"
14489Has it done you any harm?"
14489Have n''t I seen you watching him at Wanhope?
14489Have n''t you any ambition?"
14489Have not psychologists said that few fighting men were strictly normal in or for some time after the war?
14489Have you been introduced to Barry yet?
14489Have you ever seen such a blue?
14489Have you never heard of Andrew Hyde the big curio dealer in New Bond Street?
14489Have you settled yet about the Etchingham agency?"
14489Have you, I wonder?"
14489He answered me through the door,''Who''s there?''"
14489He commit a breach of hospitality?
14489He had seen Laura and tried to comfort her, but what could one say?
14489He had to wait till after dark?"
14489He kept her long enough to ask"But are you mine?"
14489He might take it with a grin, in which case he would probably relent and let her go: or--?
14489He offered one to Hyde--"Won''t you?"
14489He said: after you had had all you wanted out of me-- I beg your pardon?"
14489He seemed very fit, but rather worried about you, Laura-- may I call you Laura?
14489He sneak into Wanhope as his cousin''s friend to corrupt his cousin''s wife?
14489He thrust his hand into his pocket--"Look after your mistress, will you?"
14489He was the friend of the house, was he?
14489He''s in Paris--""With--?"
14489He, take advantage of a cripple?
14489Her Sunbeam was worn and old, so old that it had a fixed wheel, but what was that to Isabel?
14489Her arm hurt?
14489Hey, Laura?"
14489His chance?
14489How are you going?
14489How can London people stay up till twelve or one o''clock every night?
14489How could he read what was dark to her?
14489How do men live through such hours?
14489How had Clowes spent the last twelve hours?
14489How long can you stay?"
14489How long was it since any one had spoken to Lawrence in that warm tone of affection?
14489How long would Bernard keep your secret?
14489How long would it last?
14489How much is it?"
14489How often have I told you not to paw me about?
14489How on earth could any one do anything in such a hell as Neuve Chapelle?
14489How would it be if you were to meet them at the station?
14489Hullo, are you off?"
14489I am a cross- grained devil and I make your life a hell to you, do n''t I?
14489I ca n''t keep up any pretence of juvenility with you, can I?
14489I can say what I like to you now, ca n''t I?
14489I expect he was very fond of you, was n''t he?
14489I forgot about it--""Why were n''t you asked?"
14489I love you, but not too much to get over it in a year or so; and you?
14489I never saw such beautiful dragonflies, did you?
14489I saw Mrs. Bodington and Phoebe and George--,""Who''s George?"
14489I say, Laura: Bernard is all right, is n''t he?"
14489I suppose Laura never goes, as you do n''t?"
14489I suppose the angling rights go with the property?"
14489I suppose they''re safe to come by that train?
14489I thought Val would not leave us long together.-- Well, Val, what is it to be?
14489I wonder why I told Laura he was getting fat?
14489I''ll send it down for you the first thing--"Was it possible that he was as insouciant as he professed to be?
14489I''m not asking Val anything about himself, am I?
14489If I cut straight down from here I shall get into the tradesmen''s drive, sha n''t I?"
14489If he married again, what would be required of Lizzie''s successor?
14489If his unworldly father could think Laura, though innocent, so far compromised that Isabel was not safe in her care, what were other people saying?
14489If she were to wake?
14489If you come to that, Jim, what do you know of Rowsley''s-- or mine?"
14489If you could look on me as Isabel''s father--?"
14489If you would be so kind as to send him up to the vicarage?"
14489Impulsive?
14489Is Clowes gone to bed?"
14489Is Malvani''s a very quiet place?"
14489Is he always like that?"
14489Is it a more expensive kind?"
14489Is it devotion?"
14489Is it the original obligation you spoke of?
14489Is n''t it a nuisance?
14489Is n''t it silly?"
14489Is n''t it strange to think that half one''s life is over?
14489Is that Mrs. Clowes calling us?"
14489Is that lamp smoking, Rowsley?
14489Is that what you call a rotten time?
14489Is that why you want me to go?"
14489Is-- is Clara--?"
14489Isabel had been brought up by High Churchmen, had she?
14489Isabel?
14489It contains no ideal heroes: what was it Yvonne had once said?
14489It is cotton, is n''t it?"
14489It really was what the Gazette called it,''conspicuous gallantry''?"
14489It was n''t your fault, so you must n''t trouble even if--""Even if what?"
14489It''s a romantic tale,"was there a touch of pique in Laura''s charming voice?
14489It''s curious, is n''t it?
14489Last night?"
14489Last night?"
14489Laura, would you mind ringing for Barry?
14489Lawrence Pied-- Fried--""Lawrence Hyde?"
14489Lawrence does n''t want to go alone, do you?"
14489Lawrence repeated stupidly:"what has that to do with your marrying me?"
14489Lawrence, Lizzie never had any children, did she?"
14489Lawrence, do you remember your first wedding night?"
14489Leaving Laura to Isabel, who startled him by her cool"So Major Clowes has done it at last?"
14489Like Catherine,"You wish I pack for you, Sare?"
14489Masefield, I suppose, or was it Maeterlinck?
14489May I give you, word for word, what he said?
14489May I have some water to drink?"
14489May I--?"
14489May the young lady come?"
14489Met at Farringay?
14489Mild evening, is n''t it?
14489My Isabel, what is there to be afraid of?"
14489My lady will want a lot of things that gentlemen do n''t think of: underskirts and--""Good God, what do I care?"
14489Never can tell why people marry each other, can you?"
14489No: he must be brought to book: if you''ll allow me?"
14489Not even from Laura?
14489Not the wisest treatment, was it?
14489Now do you feel happy?
14489Now is n''t that Lawrence all over?
14489Now is that designed or accidental?
14489Now sit down all of you, will you?
14489Now then?"
14489Now will you go to sleep?"
14489Of course fire or a railway smash is on the cards, but the less thrilling explanation is more probable, do n''t you think, old man?"
14489Oh Val, did Major Clowes tell you their news?"
14489Oh dear, I wonder what Yvonne would say if Jack expected her to outfit herself for five pounds?
14489Oh, he is so unhappy?
14489Oh, never, never!--But she had been trained in sincerity: and was this cry sincere?
14489Oh, that''s what a vol- au- vent is, is it?
14489Oh, you''ve brought Val and-- Selincourt, is it?
14489One can keep a secret for twenty years but not for ever, and for confessor I suppose any woman will do better than a man, wo n''t she?
14489Or is it too much to ask before you get out of your evening dress?"
14489Or will they wait for a second one?
14489Or will you let me give you one warning, since you''ve asked for a map?
14489Or would Chilmark chatter?"
14489Or, in any event, what was it to him?
14489Otherwise you might ultimately chuck up your job, and where should we be then?
14489Pausing before a knot of boys playing marbles:"Herbert,"she said sternly,"why were n''t you at school on Sunday?"
14489Perhaps you think we make too much fuss over Val?
14489Perhaps you would take Miss Stafford home?
14489Quelle type, eh?"
14489Rather dreary in winter though, is n''t it?"
14489Ring, Val, will you--?
14489Seems a shame, does n''t it?"
14489Seven o''clock?
14489Sha n''t we, Berns?"
14489Shall I take you there for our honeymoon?"
14489Shall you like to have one of our own?"
14489Shall you settle down in England?"
14489She ca n''t be so ungracious as to have forgotten me?"
14489She had struck out of his male vanity a resentment so crude that he was ashamed of it, ashamed or even shocked?
14489She was dressed like a servant, but what of that?
14489She-- Mrs. Cleve--""I''ve already given you my word: do you think I would lie to you?"
14489So he''s due today, is he?
14489So this was Val Stafford, was it?
14489So you brought up Rendell''s child?
14489Some misbegotten sense of duty?"
14489Straighten me out, will you?"
14489Stripped of Bernard''s rhetoric, was it true?
14489Suppose I were to die suddenly-- one never knows what would become of her?
14489Suppose he stood in that relation to Isabel?
14489Suppose they did n''t?
14489That I''m going to prevail or that I''ve prevailed already?"
14489That grey suit was Val''s of course, but who was inside the belted coat and riding breeches?
14489That white blanc- mange of a woman in her ruby- red French gown, cut open lower than one of Yvonne''s without the saying of Yvonne''s wiry slimness?
14489That''s a fate I could support with equanimity, but what about you?
14489That''s why I kept it dark at home: what''s the good of raising hopes that may be disappointed?"
14489The Sapphire is in dry dock--""How old is he?"
14489The place was too big to be run without an agent?
14489The poor?
14489Then he said''Where''s Hyde?
14489Then he was nice?"
14489Then you really do remember him?"
14489There''ll be some supper going before long, wo n''t there?"
14489They''re at the Castle, do n''t you remember?
14489Think I do n''t know he''s your lover?
14489Think I''m blind?
14489Think you can play that game under my nose, do you?
14489This is cowardice--""Like Val''s, eh?"
14489Thought it would do me good, did n''t you?
14489Touch the bell for me before you go, will you?
14489Twenty- four, is n''t he?
14489Under the left breast, eh?"
14489Undone?
14489Val can stand it-- can''t you, Val?
14489Val?"
14489Very upsetting, is n''t it?
14489Was he good- looking?"
14489Was it her fancy, or a trick of the sunlight, that conjured up in them that sparkle of smiling cruelty, gone before she could fix it?
14489Was it possible that Captain Hyde was not Mrs. Clowes''s lover after all?
14489Was not Isabel a trifle too guileless for this wicked world?
14489Was she never going to grow up?
14489Was that the only letter you wrote?"
14489Was that when you and Mr. Hyde were there?"
14489Was there a corresponding anomaly in his temperament?
14489Was there a point of cruelty in Hyde''s smile?
14489Was this satire?
14489We used to go up the river together and read--what did one read in the spring of 1914?
14489Were you really?
14489What are you doing?"
14489What are you driving at?"
14489What can happen in twenty- four hours?"
14489What d''ye suppose a fille de joy is in English?
14489What did she pray?
14489What did you do?"
14489What do I care?
14489What do you call him Lawrence for?"
14489What do you do with gipsies?
14489What does he know of the country?
14489What does he stop on here for?"
14489What had changed Isabel?
14489What happened?"
14489What have I done to offend him?
14489What if Captain Hyde were not in earnest?
14489What is it troubles you?"
14489What is it you want to know?"
14489What is it you want-- to marry the child?
14489What is it, old man?"
14489What is it?"
14489What play is it?"
14489What shibboleth do I fail in?"
14489What should make Val unhappy?
14489What should you think he was like when he was n''t tired?"
14489What time must I be ready?
14489What time shall we get back?
14489What was Major Clowes''old regiment?"
14489What was going on under the surface at Wanhope, that Laura should turn as white as her handkerchief?
14489What was he doing at Wanhope?
14489What was he letting himself think of Laura?
14489What was his way?
14489What was the trouble?"
14489What were these forces?
14489What were they saying to each other in this public isolation where anything might be said so long as decorum was preserved?
14489What will Mrs. Jack say?
14489What would Val have said?
14489What''s a woman want with courage?
14489What''s at the root of it, Val?
14489What''s happened?"
14489What''s the time?
14489What''s your opinion-- you''re rich, are n''t you?
14489What, indeed?
14489What?
14489When did he go?"
14489When did you first fall in love with me?"
14489When does the next train get in?"
14489When the body was wrecked, was there not nine times out of ten some corresponding mental warp?
14489When was it then?"
14489Whence the change?
14489Where are you going?"
14489Where are you off to now?"
14489Where did you say you were going?"
14489Where does he write from?"
14489Where shall we sit?
14489Whereabouts are you?
14489Which will you both have, cold beef or eggs?"
14489Who cares whether we lick Germany or Germany licks England?
14489Who was the lady of the ivory frame?
14489Who would ever suggest that you care what Chilmark says?
14489Who''d blame her?
14489Who''s acting tonight?"
14489Whose voice was it that answered,"This is the woman I have been waiting for all my life?"
14489Why are you so good?"
14489Why ca n''t I die?
14489Why ca n''t she leave''em to Parker?
14489Why could n''t Captain Hyde have put the rings in his pocket?
14489Why could n''t she?"
14489Why did n''t you send me away?"
14489Why did you?
14489Why do n''t you kick me?"
14489Why do n''t you throw over Bernard and take the Etchingham agency?
14489Why do you do it, if this is the way you feel towards him?"
14489Why do you torment yourself by forcing me to go?"
14489Why does he stay?
14489Why have you saddled him with the little Stafford girl?
14489Why should n''t they do as they liked?
14489Why was that?"
14489Why, how old are you?
14489Why-- do you remember him?"
14489Why?
14489Why?
14489Why?
14489Why?
14489Why?"
14489Will Spillsby be able to play on the Fourth?"
14489Will you ever forgive me?"
14489Will you have dinner before you go or take sandwiches with you?"
14489Will you let me telephone for my own car and motor you down?
14489Will you make my excuses to her?"
14489Will you release me from it?"
14489Will you soon be tired of me?
14489Will you--"he leaned forward, his hands clasped between his knees--"stick it out, whatever happens, for a week or two, and keep your eyes open?
14489Wo n''t he have a deadly time?"
14489Wo n''t you start fresh with me?
14489Would n''t it do if I promised to lay my record before Val, and let him be judge?"
14489Would n''t the Ritz have been more to the point?"
14489Would the feelings of Chilmark be outraged?"
14489Would you like to cry off?
14489Would you mind?
14489Wretched state of things, is n''t it?
14489You always were one of the worrying sort, were n''t you?
14489You ca n''t afford cigars, can you?
14489You can walk, ca n''t you, with my help?
14489You had a mishap on the moor, the servants tell me?
14489You have n''t forgotten me, have you?"
14489You look fagged, darling-- are you?"
14489You missed your train?"
14489You want me to be happy?
14489You wo n''t forsake me, will you, ever?
14489You wo n''t love other women now?
14489You wo n''t make him do it again, will you?
14489You wo n''t misunderstand me, will you, if I say that while this abominable business is hanging over me we ca n''t be formally engaged?
14489You would be sick to death of her in six weeks-- and have n''t you had enough of giving hostages to Fortune?"
14489You would n''t think it of Laura, would you?
14489You''re a little too bright and good, are n''t you?
14489You''re afraid of death or change?"
14489You''re both of you very silly, you''ll be dead tired tomorrow, and what''s the object of it?"
14489You''re not in a hurry to get off, are you, Lawrence?"
14489You, Val, I was always fond of you: tell your daddy, or shall I, what you did in the Great War?"
14489Your battalion were pretty badly cut up at Cambrai, were n''t they?
14489a fifth- of- August recruit ca n''t very well deny that we''re all brothers in arms?"
14489and damn England too-- what did we go to fight for?
14489any, that is, that anything I said would hurt?"
14489ask him for you, and in the same breath tell him that Laura has been turned adrift because I''ve compromised her?
14489because judgment ought to be dispassionate, and in yours there was an element of cruelty for cruelty''s sake; was n''t there?
14489ca n''t you run down for twenty- four hours to a hamlet the size of Chilmark but you must bring your faics divers in your pocket?"
14489chat about old times''--is he a bird of Lucian''s feather, I wonder?
14489dear, dear, who''d have a daughter?"
14489do you think I''d grumble if that were all?
14489do you want Parker to see you through the window?
14489he ca n''t propose to divorce you?"
14489he came instantly into full possession of his faculties:"you still here?
14489his voice rang out harsh with passion:"with you in my arms why should I be jealous of any one in heaven or earth?"
14489how''s that for a smack in the eye?"
14489if there were any weakness left in you, could you have mastered me like this?"
14489it was-- it was a dream--?"
14489no, not in money matters: is that likely?
14489recommending this course?"
14489said Isabel offended:"and you''re not used to mud, are you?
14489said Isabel smiling at him and touching his palms with the tips of her fingers,"were you dreaming of me?"
14489said Lawrence, examining her anxiously:"able to walk as far as the vicarage?"
14489she said in her soft French, the French of a Frenchwoman but for a slight stiffness of disuse:"and are you comfortable here, Gaston?
14489she turned to Val,"can you wonder Bernard feels it?"
14489think I have n''t seen that?
14489what has it done to you, to turn you from the man I married into what you are?"
14489what have I done?"
14489what have we here?"
14489what is there to forgive?
14489what was it after all?
14489what''s this?"
14489when you kissed me?"
14489who?"
14489worse than ridiculous, What would Val say if he knew?
14489would Mrs. Fryar give me the receipt for that vol- au- vent?
14489you ridiculous child, why have you such a spite against poor Lawrence?
351''Ow d''you know there''s going to be a next time?
351Ach, Herr Sung, how can you say such things? 351 After all it''s my money, is n''t it?
351After all, I''m not the first one to have a baby, am I? 351 Age?
351Ai n''t I a pickle?
351Alice, where art thou?
351Already?
351Am I a gentleman?
351Am I keeping you?
351Am I to come home?
351And did she hook it?
351And do you find it more poetic when you do n''t quite know what it means? 351 And in England dissenters are n''t gentlemen, are they?"
351And pleased?
351And what about Cronshaw?
351And what about afterwards?
351And what about his wife and family?
351And what are you going to do now?
351And what happened then?
351And what is that?
351And what would you get as an assistant?
351And who is going to pay the rent? 351 And why not?
351And will you tell me what a gentleman is?
351And you''ll call me Philip, wo n''t you?
351And you,she said, with the tolerant smile of one who had fattened on the lust of her fellows,"have you got a petite amie?"
351And you?
351Any other language?
351Are n''t you afraid?
351Are n''t you glad?
351Are n''t you glad?
351Are n''t you going to ask how your mamma is?
351Are n''t you going to bed?
351Are n''t you going to eat anything?
351Are n''t you going to have him then?
351Are n''t you going to take a practice then?
351Are n''t you rather sorry you chucked painting?
351Are there many new women today?
351Are they arrangements that could n''t possibly be altered?
351Are we no longer on speaking terms?
351Are you a gentleman?
351Are you awake, Singer?
351Are you awfully unhappy?
351Are you comfy?
351Are you cross?
351Are you doing anything tonight?
351Are you fond of me still?
351Are you glad to see me?
351Are you going out?
351Are you going to settle in London then?
351Are you going to show us the stuff you''ve brought back from Spain?
351Are you going to stay a day or two?
351Are you going to the sketch classes?
351Are you in love with Mildred?
351Are you only just up?
351Are you quite sure?
351Are you satisfied now, dear boy?
351Are you sleepy, darling?
351Are you sure there''s nothing you''ll want?
351Are you taking the Conjoint?
351Are you trying to cut me?
351Are you unhappy here?
351Are you very glad to have discovered it?
351Are you?
351As soon as that?
351Ask her, does she do this for amusement, or does she expect to earn money by it?
351At your age is it likely?
351Beastly, is n''t it?
351Because I''ve ordered fiz?
351Because of the money?
351Bless their little''earts,said the grandmother,"what should''appen to them?"
351But are n''t there any more pictures here?
351But are you under the impression that men ever do anything except for selfish reasons?
351But are you under the impression that you have so great a mind that you can understand the most profound writer at a first reading?
351But d''you think he''ll be satisfied with a man who''s only just qualified? 351 But do n''t you see that Perkins will want me to stay?
351But do n''t you want to marry ME?
351But have you never known people do things they did n''t want to instead of things they did?
351But how about your dinner?
351But how can you go alone?
351But how can you look on while your children are being taught things which you do n''t think are true?
351But if all that is true,cried Philip,"what is the use of anything?
351But if you''re going to be ordained, Philip?
351But is your friend a good painter?
351But it''s no good my being ordained if I have n''t a real vocation, is it?
351But it''s not serious?
351But what can it matter to you?
351But what do you believe?
351But why do n''t you write about Spain?
351But why should you be right and all those fellows like St. Anselm and St. Augustine be wrong?
351But why should you want to paint me?
351But why? 351 But wo n''t it be frightfully hot here?
351But you have n''t got any money?
351But you want to get out into the world? 351 But, my dear fellow, in that case, why did n''t you get him a pauper''s funeral?
351By the way, I suppose you never hear from Miss Wilkinson now?
351By the way, what''s your name?
351Ca n''t we go and talk somewhere? 351 Ca n''t you see Uncle William''s face if I suddenly told him I wanted to go to Paris and study art?"
351Ca n''t you sit still for once and be quiet?
351Can I sit down?
351Can you ever forgive me?
351Can you wash your own hands, or shall I wash them for you?
351Could n''t you get him some books out of the study?
351Could n''t you give me a few more particulars?
351Cutting up people, I suppose?
351D''you WANT to come away with me?
351D''you call life a bad job?
351D''you know anything about these, Philip?
351D''you know at what time he''ll be here?
351D''you know that you have n''t kissed me once since I came here?
351D''you know the legend of the halcyon?
351D''you know what sort of a practice this is?
351D''you know, Mrs. Carey has been scolding me on your account?
351D''you like it?
351D''you mean to say that if you really believed you could move mountains you could?
351D''you mean to say that you could take me back after all that''s happened?
351D''you mean to say they''re worth nothing at all?
351D''you mean to say you can look at the painting of that flesh and say it''s not good?
351D''you mean to say you do n''t love me any more?
351D''you mean to say you have to work all that time and spend a small fortune just to earn three pounds a week at the end of it? 351 D''you mean to say you wo n''t marry me?"
351D''you mean to say you''ve had nothing but a bottle of milk for the last three days? 351 D''you mind if I walk down Victoria Street with you?"
351D''you mind?
351D''you remember my telling you about that chap I met in Brittany? 351 D''you remember that Persian carpet you gave me?"
351D''you remember the last time we met? 351 D''you remember what you said to me the other day?"
351D''you remember you were rather sniffy about meeting him?
351D''you see that aigrette there? 351 D''you suppose that after forty years''practice I care a twopenny damn whether people prefer my assistant to me?
351D''you think I stand any chance of getting it?
351D''you think I''ve changed since you were here last?
351D''you think it''s good?
351D''you think it''s worth while quarrelling with me too?
351D''you think that was necessary?
351D''you think the values are all right?
351D''you think we should be happy?
351D''you want me to stay? 351 D''you want me to?"
351D''you want to go to bed already?
351D''you want to quarrel with me?
351Damn El Greco,said Lawson,"what''s the good of jawing about a man when we have n''t a chance of seeing any of his work?"
351Did Clutton say anything about my work?
351Did Fanny Price help you?
351Did I startle you?
351Did I wake you up? 351 Did any of the girls see you waiting for me?"
351Did he die?
351Did he get all right?
351Did he give any reasons?
351Did he make love to you?

351Does he?
351Does my great love mean nothing to you at all?
351Does n''t it take you an awful time to write like that? 351 Does n''t she look like Rubens''second wife?"

351Hulloa, Carey, what have you done with your foot?
351Hulloa, where have you sprung from?
351I hate asking you, Philip, but can you spare me anything?
351I knew I liked you that day you came when you''d been sleeping out and had n''t had anything to eat, d''you remember? 351 I might be worse off, might n''t I?"
351I might, might n''t I? 351 I need n''t see her, need I?"
351I say, Carey, why are you being such a silly ass? 351 I say, Uncle William, this passage here, does it really mean that?"
351I say, are those art- students?
351I say, are you first year?
351I say, did you mean it the other day that you would n''t marry me if I asked you?
351I say, do let''s go to one of those restaurants in the Boul''Mich''and have a snack together, shall we?
351I say, how about going to a music- hall?
351I say, old man, you look awfully ill. Is there anyone to look after you here?

351I suppose you''ve got talipes equinus?
351I suppose you''ve quite got over it now, have n''t you?
351I wish you''d lend me half a sovereign, will you?
351I''ll just go and have a wash,he said, and to Mildred he added:"Would you like to wash your hands?"
351I''m not very exacting, am I? 351 I''ve never seen better,"they said,"you did n''t grow it yourself?"
351I''ve put him in the small dormitory for the present.... You''ll like that, wo n''t you?
351I? 351 I?"
351I?
351I?
351If I do n''t work who''s to keep the wife and the kids?
351If he is it''s not much good my coming, is it?
351If it is n''t, what are we here for?
351If you do n''t know why do n''t you say so? 351 If you were in my place would you chuck the whole thing?"

351Is n''t she enormous? 351 Is n''t there anywhere we can go and talk?"
351Is that all you have to say for yourself?
351Is that all? 351 Is that all?"
351Is that how you would describe your religion in a census paper?
351Is that true?
351Is that what you''re waiting about for? 351 Is that what you''ve been so funny about this evening?

351Is the brute fed?
351Is the food always as bad it was last night?
351Is there a telegram for me?

351It is awful, love, is n''t it?
351It is rather, is n''t it?
351It looks well, does n''t it?
351It stung you up a bit when I spoke of your game leg, young fellow?
351It upsets one a bit at first, does n''t it?
351It''ll be like a honeymoon, wo n''t it?
351It''s Christmas Day, Philip, wo n''t you kiss me good- night?
351It''s a funny- looking little thing, is n''t it? 351 It''s a little awkward for me, is n''t it?"
351It''s not a very nice night to be out, is it?
351It''s quite hot even now, is n''t it?
351It''s very wrong of me, is n''t it?
351Just out from England? 351 Leave me alone, ca n''t you?"

351Mellor said: Why did n''t you kick him? 351 Mildred, wo n''t you come out with me tonight?
351Miller?
351Mother and Dad will be surprised, wo n''t they?
351Mother says, shall she come and have tea with you?
351My God, why did n''t you write to me?
351My word, is there anything better than English beer?
351Norah, you''re not fond of me, are you?
351Now are you happy again?
351Now are you satisfied?
351Now then, you boys, what are you waiting about for? 351 Now then, you naughty girl, what have you been doing to yourself?
351Now?
351Now?
351Of course, if one does n''t go to a public school those sort of schools are the next best thing, are n''t they?
351Off where?
351Oh well, lend me five bob, will you?
351Oh, Christopher Columbus, Christopher Columbus, what did you do when you discovered America?
351Oh, Philip, do you mean that?
351Oh, do you? 351 Oh, how could we, on your money?
351Oh, life,he cried in his heart,"Oh life, where is thy sting?"
351Oh, my dear fellow, do n''t you know Vermeer? 351 Oh, why ca n''t you be content to let it go on as it is?
351Oh, you are the young feller who did that poster?
351Oh, you''re not going to leave me this morning-- of all mornings?
351Oh, you''re the new articled clerk? 351 One has to think of oneself in those things, do n''t one?
351Philip, how can you be so unkind? 351 Philip, how can you say anything so unkind?
351Please, sir, Mrs. Fletcher says, will the new doctor come?
351Please, sir, her little boy''s had an accident and will you come at once?
351Please, sir, will you come to Mrs. Fletcher''s in Ivy Lane at once?
351Quite the lady, is n''t she?
351Really?
351Shall I come for a walk with you tonight when I''ve put the children to bed?
351Shall I come with you, Sally?
351Shall I go and see if I can find them?
351Shall I say you want us to go?
351Shall we go?
351Shall you like that?
351She does play well, does n''t she?
351She has n''t got it, doctor, has she?
351She was a washerwoman then?
351She''s not going?
351Should art be taken seriously?
351Sit down, wo n''t you?
351Suppose you catch it?
351Supposing someone should come out suddenly?
351Thank you very much,said Philip, then in a moment:"Wo n''t you come and have tea with me somewhere?"
351That is no business of yours either, is it?
351That''s my business, is n''t it?
351The poor old gentleman''s so dependent on me, and, although he is troublesome sometimes, you ca n''t help liking him, can you? 351 The what?"
351Then I shall see you, sha n''t I?
351Then how can you believe anything at all?
351Then how d''you know that we have the truth now?
351Then what would you like to do until your uncle comes back?
351Then why should n''t we have a good time while we''ve got the chance? 351 Then will you give notice for me to leave at Christmas?"
351Then your two years in Paris may be regarded as so much wasted time?
351There does n''t seem much wrong with him, does there?
351There''s nothing you''ll be wanting, is there?
351They do n''t look bad, do they?
351They looked happy enough, did n''t they?
351They say you were in the Commune?
351Think you''re worth more, do you? 351 This is your first visit to our social evenings, ai n''t it?
351This?
351Those old patriarchs lived to a jolly good old age, did n''t they?
351Tut, tut, child,he answered, as he produced a vast, brilliant bandanna,"what do you suppose the Almighty gave you fingers for?"
351Undo me behind, will you?
351Very reserved, is n''t he?
351Vulgar? 351 Was anyone there?"
351Was he alone?
351Was it a girl or a boy?
351Was it?
351Was n''t it Sophocles,he asked,"who prayed for the time when he would be delivered from the wild beast of passion that devoured his heart- strings?"
351Was that all that prevented you?
351Waste? 351 Well, I''m only a servant, are n''t I?"
351Well, did she wash?
351Well, did you see her safely off?
351Well, how about the little jaunt?
351Well, how have you been?
351Well, if I did n''t I suppose I should n''t be here, should I? 351 Well, sir, what can I do?"
351Well, there was n''t anything else for her to do, was there?
351Well, what d''you think of it?
351Well, what did he say about me?
351Well, what do you wish me to say to you? 351 Well, what if he did?
351Well, what is your objection to the Categorical Imperative?
351Well, you know all about San Juan de la Cruz, do n''t you?
351Well, young fellow, are you glad to come to school?
351Well? 351 Well?"
351Were you at a university?
351Were you in love with him?
351Were you surprised, my asking you to take me out and give me a bit of dinner tonight?

351What do you think your uncle would say if he knew?
351What do you want me to do?
351What does it matter?
351What does she say? 351 What does that matter to you?"

351What else did he say?
351What has nature got to do with it? 351 What has put that in your head?"

351Why on earth did you shut yourself in? 351 Why on earth not?"
351Why on earth should I be?
351Why should I?
351Why should n''t I? 351 Why should n''t you?"
351Why wo n''t you live with me as if we were married then?
351Why, have you got something the matter with you?
351Why, what were you going to do?
351Why, what''s the matter?
351Why? 351 Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Why?
351Will you come out with me again one evening?
351Will you come this way?
351Will you condescend to do a few sums in simple addition today? 351 Will you dance with me?"
351Will you do something for me?
351Will you give me a good character with my month''s notice?
351Will you promise?
351Will you see Mrs. Miller, sir?
351Will you tell us why it is n''t a good picture?
351Will you walk a little bit with me?
351With Emma?
351Wo n''t it hurt your hands for sewing?
351Wo n''t you come with me?
351Wo n''t you drink a little? 351 Wo n''t you find it an awful nuisance to look after a baby?"
351Wo n''t you have an egg beaten up in a glass of milk while you''re waiting?
351Wo n''t you kiss me good- night?
351Wo n''t you tell it me?
351Would n''t she look splendid in a seventeenth- century costume? 351 Would n''t they take you back at the shop?"
351Would n''t you like to go to the hospital? 351 Would you like a twopenny stinker?"
351Would you like me to come with you? 351 Would you like me to go to Birmingham?
351Would you like me to sit down for a minute or two?
351Would you like me to stay?
351Would you like to come up and see her?
351Would you like to read a letter I had from him this morning?
351Would you like to say a short prayer?
351Would you?
351Would you?
351Yes, d''you want anything?
351Yes, have n''t you?
351Yes, why not?
351You ARE silly, you know I like you, or else I should n''t be here, should I?
351You are a stoodent, are n''t you?
351You ca n''t see me home if that''s what you mean?
351You did n''t mind my not sitting at one of your tables this afternoon?
351You did n''t think I was going to keep a promise like that?
351You did n''t think it disagreeable of me last week when I would n''t kiss you?
351You do feel it''s life, do n''t you?
351You do like me a bit, do n''t you?
351You do like them, do n''t you?
351You do n''t grudge me a little pleasure, Philip? 351 You do n''t know me very well, do you, even now?"
351You do n''t mean to say you really want to leave?
351You do n''t mean to say you think the head''s good?
351You do n''t mean to say you''re sharing this room with somebody else?
351You do n''t mind my having started?
351You do n''t mind taking off your sock for a moment, Carey?
351You do n''t mind, do you?
351You do n''t suppose I want to go and see a rotten musical comedy by myself, do you? 351 You do n''t think I do it because I like it, do you?"
351You do want to come, do n''t you?
351You expected me, did n''t you?
351You feel you can put your elbows on the table, do n''t you?
351You had n''t met Griffiths?
351You have n''t forgotten what you promised?
351You have very little private means?
351You mean that they were very clever and learned men, while you have grave doubts whether I am either?
351You think it proves the truth of Roman Catholicism that John Henry Newman wrote good English and that Cardinal Manning has a picturesque appearance?
351You think that''s a condemnation? 351 You were just looking for an opportunity to throw me over and you took that one?"
351You will come and see me dance, dearie, wo n''t you?
351You will take the money, Philip?
351You will write to me, darling, wo n''t you? 351 You will write to me, wo n''t you?
351You wo n''t be frightened at sleeping alone?
351You wo n''t come tomorrow?
351You wo n''t mind going second- class, will you? 351 You wo n''t mind my working in your room this afternoon, will you?"
351You wo n''t take it, will you?
351You''d better come along with me, Carey,said the master"You do n''t know the way, do you?"
351You''ll call when you''re ready for your pudding, wo n''t you?
351You''ll come and see me again, wo n''t you?
351You''ll come out after supper, wo n''t you?
351You''ll stay to tea, wo n''t you? 351 You''re American, are n''t you?"
351You''re English, are n''t you?
351You''re coming to bathe with us, Uncle Phil, are n''t you?
351You''re going for your holiday tomorrow, Carey?
351You''re not angry with me any more?
351You''re not angry with me, Philip?
351You''re not angry with me, Sally?
351You''re not angry with me, are you?
351You''re not going away?
351You''re not going to be silly about it, are you? 351 You''re not going to give it away that we''re not married?"
351You''re not going to tell me you''ve been occupying your leisure in writing poetry? 351 You''re not going?"
351You''re not looking forward to my death, Philip?
351You''re not wanting to move a mountain tonight, are you?
351You''re your own master, are n''t you?
351You''ve got five years of it, have n''t you?
351You''ve not forgotten all your doctoring, have you?
351You''ve rather scored, have n''t you?
351You''ve sent for Mrs. Carey''s brother- in- law, have n''t you?
351You?
351?"
351A man does n''t want to talk politics to his wife, and what do you think I care for Betty''s views upon the Differential Calculus?
351A pause, and then her voice was raised:"Sally, just run down to Mrs. Black''s and get me half a pound of tea, will you?
351After all, I do n''t funk it, do I?
351And Philip cried out in his soul:"What is the use of it?"
351And can I say to him that you do n''t mind?
351And if I make you that unhappy why d''you want to take me to the Pavilion?
351And if Lawson had done it why should not he?
351And the thought of his dying all alone.... D''you think he knew he was going to die?"
351And then shyly, with a little break in her voice, she asked:"You are glad to come back to your home, are n''t you?"
351And what about the depot?
351And why the hell did you ask him if he was doing anything?"
351And yet?
351Are n''t you?"
351Are n''t you?"
351Are you hungry?"
351Are you satisfied now?"
351Are you tired of me?"
351At dinner the Vicar sat humped up on his chair, and the housekeeper who had been with him since his wife''s death said:"Shall Mr. Philip carve, sir?"
351At last Philip asked desperately:"How does one get to know people in London?"
351At last there came a rainy day, and after breakfast Mr. Carey said to Philip:"Now, what d''you say to starting on my portrait this morning?"
351Because you learn nothing....""But why d''you come here then?"
351Besides, what''s the good of criticism?
351But if she had cared for him why did she not let him help her?
351But passion for him?
351But pray tell me what is the meaning of life?"
351But three or four days later, when she brought him his tea, Mildred said to him:"You remember what you promised the other night?
351But was it possible for him to be brave when he was by himself, face to face with his soul, or would he then surrender to despair?
351But what do you suppose you are in the world for?"
351But what does that matter?"
351But what is criticism?
351But what is the good of turning out second- rate pictures?"
351But why did n''t you tell me?"
351But why?
351Ca n''t I come back to your rooms?"
351Ca n''t you even give me that?"
351Can I come in?"
351Can you manage that?"
351Can you recommend any other place where they take boarders?"
351Can you see me giving Betty up?
351Can you understand the happiness I get out of my absinthe?
351Carey?"
351Could n''t we take a ride on the top of a tram?"
351Could n''t you marry to oblige me?
351D''you know Cronshaw?
351D''you know Spanish?"
351D''you think Mrs. Carey will get over it, sir?"
351D''you think it''s our fault?
351D''you think they''re rotten?"
351D''you want to wash?"
351Did he not know that she hung on his letters?
351Did she say where she was going?"
351Did you ever see anything so wonderful?
351Did you hear all this construed last time or not?
351Did you see Nixon?"
351Do n''t you know that your uncle and I only want your good?
351Do n''t you know what it means to me?
351Do n''t you love me at all?"
351Do n''t you remember the chapter in Marius where Pater talks of the gentle exercise of walking as the best incentive to conversation?"
351Do n''t you think it was the greatest luck in the world for them that Keats, Shelley, Bonnington, and Byron died early?
351Do n''t you think my work''s any good?"
351Do n''t you think you could find some work to do?
351Do you know anything about book- keeping or accounts?"
351Do you know it or not?
351Do you want me to tear out my hair in handfuls?"
351Do you wish me to say it has merit?
351Do you wish me to show you what is wrong with it?
351Do you wish me to tell you it is good?
351Do you wish me to tell you it is well drawn?
351Do you wish me to tell you what to do with it?
351Does your mother wash?"
351Ever been to Maxim''s?"
351Experience?
351Finally the question recurred, but flung now like a challenging gauntlet in the lists: Why not order today?
351Fletcher''s?"
351Fletcher?"
351Foinet''s bitter mouth outlined the shadow of a smile, and he asked:"Do you live near here?"
351Foster?"
351Foster?"
351Gentlemanly, was n''t it?"
351Had any of them made such a hash of life as he?
351Had he not painted an advertisement of chocolat Menier in a landscape in order to escape from the tyranny of prettiness?
351Had you had a row?"
351Hard luck, was n''t it?
351Has Foinet ever bothered about you?
351Has he gone away?"
351Has he left you for another?"
351Has it ever struck you to thank God for it?"
351Have you chucked the Medical?"
351Have you got anything of your own?"
351He congratulated him on his success, and then said:"I suppose you would n''t like to do a locum for a month on the South coast?
351He had a passion for pictures, and why should he not be able to paint as well as anybody else?
351He knew this was not true, but he answered:"When will you be able to come away?"
351He wo n''t be in the way, will he?"
351His air seemed to indicate: What''s all this nonsense about being ill?
351His ideals?
351How are you, Mrs. Hodgson?
351How can we here?"
351How can you be so cruel?"
351How can you be so silly?"
351How could he answer that he was bored to death?
351How could he be expected to remember her?
351How could he have got into such a mess?
351How could you be cruel to me?
351How could you tell whether there was anything in it or whether you were wasting your time?
351How did his uncle think he was living?
351How else do you think I could educate them at all?
351How is mamma?"
351How long have you been here?
351How much could I lose if things went wrong?"
351How much d''you think you''re worth, eh?"
351How much would you ask if you were me?
351How old are you, Sally?"
351How old was she?
351How would you like being kept awake for an hour in the middle of the night because her ladyship would n''t go to sleep?"
351I ca n''t say more than that, can I?"
351I can go out with him if I want to, ca n''t I?
351I can not imagine you sitting in an office over a ledger, and do you wear a tall hat and an umbrella and a little black bag?
351I do n''t know how I can ever make it up to you?"
351I''m her mother, and I ought to know what''s good for her, ought n''t I?"
351If he was going to treat her like that why did he ask her to come and live at the flat?
351If you take away duty and goodness and beauty why are we brought into the world?"
351If you''re thinking of a text, what do you say to: With Christ, which is far better?"
351In order to see whether she had really forgotten him, when she brought his tea, he asked:"Have you seen my friend tonight?"
351Intelligent you call yourselves, do you?
351Is anything the matter?
351Is n''t that a funny thing now?"
351Is n''t there somebody else you can get?"
351It is n''t exactly likely I''d sit in the second- class room when I could sit in the first is it?"
351It seemed to point out that what he was thinking was distressingly obvious; and when you have agreed with the obvious what more is there to say?
351It was all very well to aim at the intention of the soul: who could tell what that was when people seemed a mass of contradictions?
351It was she who gave Philip the suggestion:"Can you draw, Phil?
351It''ll be a lucky man who marries her, wo n''t it, Sally?"
351It''s a lot of money, is n''t it?
351It''s lucky it''s a man, is n''t it?"
351It''s not my fault if I forget, is it?"
351Je suis libre, n''est- ce pas?"
351Just think of it, you spend God knows how long trying to get something on to canvas, putting the sweat of your soul into it, and what is the result?
351Kingsford?"
351Lawson lent it with pleasure, but, as he did so, said:"You''ll let me have it back in a week or so, wo n''t you?
351Let''s go and spend a day at Oxford, shall we?
351Medical men are n''t much interested in literature, are they?"
351Mr. Carey''s never studied before, you wo n''t mind helping him a little just at first will you?"
351Mrs. Carey stood for a few minutes and looked at it, it was turbid and yellow,[ and who knows what thoughts passed through her mind?]
351Now he could go on with courage; and what did hardship matter, privation, and disappointment, if he arrived at last?
351Of course it''s just waste of money keeping me on at school, but what does he care?
351Of course she did not reply, but what woman could help being flattered?
351On the tip of Philip''s tongue was the question: how much longer can he live?
351On the way home he asked:"I hope you''ve enjoyed yourself?"
351Parlez- vous francais?
351Philip felt that Norah had not deserved that he should make her suffer; and what did Griffiths know about the degrees of anguish she was capable of?
351Philip was present at the time, and Miss Chalice said to him:"Why do n''t you paint me too?
351Philip?"
351Poor Philip was practically penniless, and what was the good of his mother''s fine friends now?
351Ripping, is n''t it?"
351See any cricket?"
351Seventeen and twelve were only twenty- nine, and hang it all, that was n''t old, was it?
351Shall I tell him to wait?"
351Shall I tell him you''re here?"
351Shall we get on with our work?"
351She ca n''t be left alone, can she?"
351She do n''t care a damn for chivalry, do you, Sally?"
351She does n''t want you to fuss about, do you, Sally?
351She glanced at him and, understanding what he meant, looked away"You were rare stuck on it at one time, were n''t you?
351She''s to be apprenticed to a dressmaker, are n''t you, Sally?
351Should he write to her?
351Simmonds?"
351That''s tasty, is n''t it?
351The Germans were gross and life there was common; how could the soul come to her own in that prim landscape?
351The answer came by return of post, angry, heart- broken, reproachful: how could he be so cold?
351The children are bastards, every jack one of them, and are they any the worse for that?
351The doctor was silent for a minute or two, but at the gate he said suddenly to Philip:"Has Mrs. Foster said anything to you?"
351The man, standing next him, glanced at Philip and asked:"Had any experience?"
351Then a question, startling because of its reasonableness: Why not order today?
351Then it was Sighs who asked:"Well, what did you think of our new head?"
351Then putting her arms round his neck, she placed her face against his and said:"Why are you so horrid to me, Phil?"
351Then without a pause, with peculiar inconsequence, she said:"Where''s that young fellow that used to come with you?
351There might be an opportunity to go up country in Burmah, and what rich jungles in Sumatra or Borneo might he not visit?
351There was a repetition, in large letters, like the hammering of conscience on a murderer''s heart: Why not?
351They came to the Pool of London, and who can describe its majesty?
351They had no sooner finished supper than he said to her:"Are you going to keep me company while I smoke a cigarette?"
351They left the restaurant, and in the street Philip asked her:"Shall I call a cab for you?
351They''re quite neat and decent, are n''t they?"
351Twenty- five?
351Two years?
351Waiter, who''s been helping himself to my whiskey?"
351Was he tired of her already?
351Was it meant to be me?"
351Was it possible for her to forgive him?
351Was it worth while for that to give up one''s youth, and the gaiety of life, and the manifold chances of being?
351Was that love?
351Was your father a professional man?"
351Watson was a nice fellow, perfect gentleman, good sportsman-- did Philip hunt?
351We get on very well together, you and I, and I''ve not behaved badly to you, have I?
351We should have about four pounds a week to live on till then, should n''t we?"
351We''ll change over, shall we?"
351We''ll go over by the eleven o''clock, shall we?"
351Well, have you discovered the answer?"
351Well, what d''you say to it?"
351What are you doing?"
351What d''you say to spending the evening together?"
351What d''you say to that?"
351What d''you suppose I care if I''m a gentleman or not?
351What d''you suppose it''s called the day of rest for?
351What d''you think I want tea for?
351What d''you want?"
351What did he care for Spain and its cities, Cordova, Toledo, Leon; what to him were the pagodas of Burmah and the lagoons of South Sea Islands?
351What did he care if it was shocking or disgusting?
351What did it all mean?
351What did they matter when he played divinely?"
351What do the circumstances of life matter if your dreams make you lord paramount of time and space?"
351What do you think life would be to me without it?
351What do you think, Mildred?"
351What does it all mean?"
351What does it matter if your picture is good or bad?"
351What does she say?"
351What have I done?
351What is art beside love?
351What on earth d''you want to leave for now?
351What shall we do?"
351What was his handwriting like?
351What was it?"
351What was the use of squandering the days of his youth in an office when the world was beautiful?
351What will he think?"
351What would she say to him that morning?
351What''ll they think of us?"
351What''s the good of making us both unhappy?
351What''s the time?"
351When Philip gave him his message, he said:"When did the poor old gentleman die?"
351When all was said, he was a gentleman in every sense of the word, and that was something not to be sneezed at, was n''t it?
351When are you going to marry?"
351When can I come, Philip?"
351When do you go to Germany?"
351When he got up to go Norah said casually:"Well, I shall see you tomorrow, sha n''t I?"
351When shall you be in?"
351When they were gone a student asked:"How long d''you think she''ll last, sir?"
351When will you come?"
351When you were a child, I suppose?"
351Where are you going?"
351Where have you been sleeping all this week?"
351Where is it?"
351Where''s the husband?"
351Who can resist them?
351Who could pity her because she had died when life offered so little?
351Who d''you take me for?"
351Who''s brought it?"
351Whom are you going to marry?"
351Why are n''t I good enough to attend her filthy brat?"
351Why d''you want to marry me then?
351Why d''you want to worry the boy?
351Why did he not come on Sunday morning and spend the day?
351Why did n''t you come here?"
351Why did n''t you start dinner?"
351Why did you leave your job?"
351Why do n''t you give up drinking?"
351Why do n''t you go to Paris for a year?
351Why do n''t you leave me alone?"
351Why do n''t you matriculate here?
351Why do n''t you speak?
351Why do n''t you try your''and and see what you can do?"
351Why do you not go to Paris and study art?
351Why had he given her the alternative that she must dine with him or else never see him again?
351Why have n''t you been in then?"
351Why on earth did n''t you send me a line?
351Why on earth should you think I do?"
351Why should I be?"
351Why should I?"
351Why should he care?
351Why should he marry?
351Why should its dictates be any better than those of passion?
351Why should n''t I?"
351Why should they?
351Why, d''you want me to do anything else?"
351Will that suit you?
351Will that suit you?"
351Will you come and look at''i m and see it''s all right?"
351Will you?"
351Wo n''t you be angry with me afterwards?"
351Wo n''t you change your mind?
351Wo n''t you come and live with me for a while?
351Wo n''t you dine with me?
351Wo n''t you get out of your horrid engagement-- just this once?"
351Wo n''t you give the answer yourself?"
351Wo n''t you let me give you a little lunch?"
351Wo n''t you make it up?"
351Wo n''t you, young fellow?"
351Would Saturday night suit you?"
351Would he have forgotten much?
351Would he never be free from that passion?
351Would you like me to come with you now?
351Would you like that?"
351Would you really give us the money?"
351You ca n''t blame them either, can you?
351You can walk as far as that, ca n''t you?"
351You do n''t mind, do you?"
351You do n''t think it''s selfish of me, Philip, do you?
351You have to think of your health, do n''t you?"
351You like looking after me, do n''t you?"
351You mean to keep that, do n''t you?"
351You noticed she was n''t a lady, did n''t you?"
351You remember that young fellow mother wanted me to have?
351You understood, do n''t you?
351You will marry me, wo n''t you?"
351You will, wo n''t you?"
351You''re an influential citizen, why do n''t you write to the papers and protest?"
351You''re going to church tonight, and how can you face your Maker when you''ve been breaking one of His laws in the afternoon?"
351You''re not going with her?"
351You''re not in love with me, are you?"
351You''re very ill.""D''you mean to say I''m going to die?"
