12740I could drive cavayard, could n''t I?
12740If I give you your horse and mule will you proceed at once to Fort Lyon?
12740If I let you go, sir, will you leave the Post at once and not bother anyone at Sheridan?
12740Is that you?
12740Look here, White,I demanded,"what the devil are you following me in this way for?"
12740Look yere, kid,he shouted,"ye see this knife?"
12740McCarthy,said I,"shall we run or fight?"
12740Sakes alive, Massa Bill, am dat you?
12740Six- shooters?
12740Well, I''ve got to make it yet,I said, and then to Rose:"How did the fall hit you?"
12740Well, sir, will you at least promise not to interfere any further with the quartermaster''s agent at Sheridan?
12740Well,said the herd boss,"how do you propose to settle it?"
12740What can you do?
12740What chance is there to trade for him?
12740What does all this''Honorable''mean, General?
12740What does this mean?
12740What fall?
12740What is it?
12740What is it?
12740What is that?
12740What kind of a present?
12740What made this town move away?
12740When will we get to the Springs?
12740Where are we now?
12740Where is your horse?
12740Where''s your command? 12740 Who are you?"
12740Who in thunder are you?
12740Who the dickens is Webb?
12740Who''s there?
12740Why are you away so much?
12740Why do n''t you tell the General that?
12740Why?
12740Yes,admitted Mrs. Cody,"but what has that got to do with it?"
12740Yes,commented Mrs. Cody,"and where is your$ 250,000?"
12740Your orders were to follow me, were n''t they?
12740Can you guide me on that trip?"
12740Finally Bache asked, good- humoredly:"Is this the way you break in all your new lieutenants, Major?"
12740Have we not the same right as the White Man?"
12740How does that suit you?"
12740How does that valley suit you?"
12740I said:"General, do you remember the battle of Tupedo?"
12740If the White Man does not want us to fight, why does he take our land?
12740Lonsdale, approaching and extending his hand, smiled and said:"Ah, Colonel Cody, another one of your Yankee friends, eh?"
12740Massa Bill, does you- all reckon we is ebber gwine to get out o''heah?"
12740The leader of the gang swaggered toward me and inquired menacingly:"Where are you going, young man, and who''s with you?"
12740Then he sang out to me:"Massa Bill, is you got any hahdtack?"
12740What will you take to call it off?"
12740When the wagon- train, which was a mile in the rear, came up, one of the drivers asked:"How are we going to get down there?"
12740Where''s General Penrose?"
12740Who are you, anyway?"
28572Ai n''t you got nobody to take care of you?
28572But are n''t you mistaken when you say you have been saving for your mother''s tombstone for twelve years? 28572 But, darlint,"said Mrs. O''Shaughnessy,"supposin''it''s married your man is?"
28572Can any of you tell me how to get to Kendall, Wyoming?
28572Do women_ have_ to change their names when they marry?
28572Frau O''Shaughnessy,she said severely,"what have you here?
28572Haf they run you out of camp, you iss so bad?
28572Have you got your answer?
28572Have you the cloth?
28572How can you know just what to do, and then have the courage to do it? 28572 How did you learn it all?"
28572Is there a Joseph in the family?
28572My_ goodness_,she exclaimed;"is that_ all_?"
28572Then,she said,"which of you are Tea and which Coffee?"
28572What are them fellys pow- wowing about down in the sage?
28572What is the little girl''s name?
28572What is the matter? 28572 What iver is the matter with ye?"
28572What''s your name?
28572Where are your folks?
28572Where is your home, b''y?
28572Where should I be? 28572 Where''d you get that kid?
28572Who says God is not merciful? 28572 Why do n''t you leave this place?
28572Wo n''t you come to bed and rest?
28572You write her once in a while, do n''t you?
28572_ What_ chased you?
28572A few days before we left the ranch I telephoned Mrs. Louderer and tried to persuade her to go along, but she replied,"For why should I go?
28572And what have you been doing to him, anyway?"
28572And_ you_, best of friends, when shall I see your beloved face?
28572Are me children covered and warm?"
28572Are you hurt?
28572As soon as he saw Elizabeth he sprang from his saddle and said,"''Liz''beth,''Liz''beth, what you doin''here?"
28572As we were starting Mr. Stewart asked the game- warden,"Can you tell me if Wallace White is still stationed here?"
28572DEAR, DEAR FRIEND,-- Can you guess how happy I am?
28572Did I tell you we left Junior with his grandmother?
28572Did you ever see the kind of freight outfit that is used to bring the great loads across the desert?
28572Did you notice the freckles of her?
28572Do you like to live that way?"
28572Do you mind any good lesson that she taught us in the cabin beyont?"
28572Haf you any goose- grease left?"
28572Has my trip interested you, dear friend?
28572Have you not seen their bones every mile or so along this road?
28572How haf you come by these?"
28572I do n''t need to tell you of the"good mon,"do I?
28572If he is dead, may I stay on with one of you and perhaps get a school?
28572Iss it to freeze?
28572Now ai n''t that fine?
28572Now who is the seventh man?"
28572Stewart?"
28572Suddenly she leaned over toward them and said:"Will ye tell me something?"
28572Then I asked,"Why did n''t you ask about him at Pinedale or any of these places we have passed?
28572They do n''t know nothin''about sore shoulders and hard pulls now, so why do n''t you shut up and let them and me rest in peace?''
28572This does n''t seem much like a letter, does it?
28572Vat?
28572What do you think about it?"
28572What is your name?"
28572What of it?
28572What''s the b''y''s name?"
28572When he did come, he was excited; he laid a picture on the table and said,"Do any of you recognize this?"
28572When they got two dollars''worth sold, the blueing company would send them a big doll; so, please, would we buy a lot?
28572When you people come back will you stop and ask for the mail for me?"
28572Where do you live?"
28572Where were you, Stewart, during the storm?"
28572Where will they bury him?"
28572Why did n''t you shoot?"
28572Why not go away somewhere else, where it will not be so hard to start?"
28572Why?"
16623But,I asked,"is n''t that consecrated hay?--isn''t it tithing?"
16623Can you tell me where Mrs. Belle B---- lives?
16623Confound your fool tongues, how they goin''to know there''s any women here? 16623 Do n''t you ever sell any of your sheep?"
16623Do n''t you ever write?
16623Do you expect to go to heaven, and do you think the man who married you and then discarded you will go to heaven too?
16623Goin''up to the house? 16623 Have you any objections?"
16623How iss it,he demanded,"dat you haf not so much sense as you haf tongue?
16623Is that you, Mat? 16623 Just how is she related to you?"
16623Listen to her now, will you?
16623Mamma,said Kittie, the largest of the little girls,"if Aunt Deb does buy a new coat and you get her old one, then can I have yours?"
16623Mamma,she said,"did God really make the baby?"
16623Now, tell me,he asked, as he fastened the canvas to a wheel,"did n''t you think I was an old devil at first?"
16623Then she is your wife, is she not?
16623Then,said Mrs. O''Shaughnessy,"whose children are these?"
16623This is the 7 Up,--Louderer''s,the boss called back;"what''s wanted?"
16623Wall,he said,"air you spying around arter that gold mine I diskivered over on the west side of Baldy?"
16623Well,I asked,"where_ can_ I go?"
16623Well,he continued,"what does he mean by letting you gad about in such onconsequential style?"
16623Well?
16623What in the world is the matter with you?
16623What is your name?
16623What the deuce was you fellers kicking up such a rumpus fer last night?
16623What''s the matter with your shirt, it''s soaked with blood?
16623Which Stewart?
16623Who is their father?
16623Who tell it ye?
16623Who''s in the wickiup?
16623Why,he asked,"do New Yorkers always say_ State_?"
16623You blamed blockhead, do n''t you know?
16623You did n''t know me, did you, Mother, with my pretty new things? 16623 A little thing like wall- paper put on upside down do n''t bother me; but what_ would_ I do if I were asecond"?
16623And how iss it that we haf come de camp by und so starved as we iss hungry, and no cook und no food?
16623And then indignantly,"How many cackle- berries does you want?
16623As I rode up, he said,"Whither, friend?"
16623Ca n''t yez tell it be me Cockney accint?"
16623Could more be asked of any man?
16623Did you ever eat pork and beans heated in a frying- pan on a camp- fire for breakfast?
16623Do n''t you believe that?
16623Do n''t you know she was a dainty bride?
16623Do you remember, I wrote you of a little baby boy dying?
16623Do you wonder I am so happy?
16623Hey?"
16623Is it too late?
16623Is n''t it queer how sometimes, do what you can, work will keep getting in the way until you ca n''t get anything done?
16623Is n''t that a sweet picture?
16623Iss dat for why you iss paid?"
16623It is strange, is n''t it?
16623My house faces east and is built up against a side- hill, or should I say hillside?
16623No?
16623Now would n''t that little speech have made her welcome anywhere?
16623Rather a dismal prospect, was n''t it?
16623Shall I send them to you?
16623She hobbled to the door and pounded with her poor twisted hands, calling all the while,"Cory, Cory Belle, what ails you?"
16623Soon he asked,"Are you goin''somewheres or jist travelin''?"
16623The branches had torn off the bag in which I had my bread, so it was lost in the forest, but who needs bread when they have good, mealy potatoes?
16623Then he asked,"Air you spying around for one of them dinged game wardens arter that deer I killed yisteddy?"
16623They suspected us of laughing at them, for Archie said to Aggie,"Aggie, lass, is it sport they are making of our love?"
16623What d''e want to make it any worse for?"
16623What do you think of us?
16623What is the use of giving us a half- finished baby?
16623What the deuce makes him sing so much?
16623What the''ell would you do with a woman in the''ouse if you could n''t corner''er?
16623When we went to the house Mr. Stewart said,"Weel, when are you douchy bairns gangin''to the kirk?"
16623Who wants to stand among these smelly cows all day?"
16623Whose outfit is this?"
16623Whose woman are you?"
16623Winters, have you met Miss Em''ly?
16623Wo n''t you make it easy to"''fess"so I may be happy again?
16623You''d think I wanted you to homestead, would n''t you?
16623he persisted,--"C.R., S.W., or H.C.?"
16623he said;"are you goin''to camp here?"
10030All right,said I as I took them,"but where will I meet you again?"
10030And what do you propose to do with us now?
10030Are you going to turn us adrift here?
10030Are you the lad who is going to drive to- day?
10030Blarst your heyes, driver, why do n''t you let them go?
10030Captain, what does this mean?
10030Do you expect to catch those buffaloes on that Gothic steed?
10030Does it?
10030General, how about this mule, anyhow?
10030Good enough, Bill; you shall have the horse; but are you sure you can find your way on such a dark night as this?
10030How did you surprise my camp without a struggle? 10030 How is this?"
10030How long will it take you to commit your part to memory, Bill?
10030How many of you are there?
10030How much are the costs?
10030I ca n''t allow any such business as this, Cody,said he,"what do you mean by it?"
10030I thought you promised to come into the Opera House by the private entrance?
10030If I give you the horse and mule will you proceed at once to Fort Lyon?
10030McCarthy, shall we dismount and fight, or run?
10030Mr. Willis, there comes old Gobel, with Frank and somebody else, and they are after me-- what am I going to do?
10030On foot?
10030Wa- al, now, stranger,exclaimed one of the crowd,"what kind o''critter have you got anyhow, as how you''re afraid to back him up very heavy?"
10030Well, old boy, you''re alive, are you?
10030Well, sir, what are you going to do about it?
10030Well, sir; will you at least agree not to interfere any further with the quartermaster''s agent at Sheridan?
10030What are you doing out here?
10030What chance is there to trade for him?
10030What does it mean?
10030What is your business here to- day?
10030What the deuce do you mean? 10030 What''s the matter?"
10030Where are you going, young man; and who''s with you?
10030Where is the black abolition jay- hawker?
10030Where''s your command? 10030 Where''s your horse?"
10030Who fired that shot?
10030Why, did we not give them to you-- did you not bring them to camp in the ambulance?
10030After they had disarmed us, Simpson asked,"Well, Smith, what are you going to do with us?"
10030And where is the satisfaction, And how will the boys get square?
10030Bob would occasionally look down from his seat, and, seeing their frightened faces, would ask,"Well, how do you like staging in this country now?"
10030Buntline now came into the room and said:"Boys, how are you getting along?"
10030Buntline, whose ire was rising, said to Nixon:"What rent will you ask for your theater for next week?"
10030By giving the reds more rifles?
10030Did I hear the news from Custer?
10030Do I hear any man who wants to come agin me on them yer terms?"
10030Finally Bache said, good- humoredly:"Is this the way you break in all your Lieutenants, Major?"
10030Have you got your company yet?"
10030He looked up as I entered, and startled me by saying:"You little rascal, what are you doing in those''secesh''clothes?"
10030He said-- as if it were in the play:"Where have you been, Bill?
10030How does that beautiful spot down in the valley suit you?"
10030How does that suit you?"
10030How long will it take you?"
10030I asked;"What are they saying?
10030I exclaimed;"did n''t we spend any money on grub at all?"
10030I had no blank forms, and had not yet received the statutes of Nebraska to copy from, so I asked the man:"Where is the fellow who has got your horse?"
10030I suppose you''re pretty tired after your long journey?"
10030I was ushered into the General''s presence, and as we had met before he recognized me and said:"Hello, Cody, is that you?"
10030Invite them to take more hair?
10030Massa Bill, am dat you?"
10030My father, in the course of the conversation with her, said:"Do you know Elijah Cody?"
10030Opening a window, she coolly sang out, in a firm tone of voice:"Who are you?
10030Simpson?"
10030The next day we met him by appointment, and the first thing he said, was:"Boys, are you ready for business?"
10030The officer then called up another policeman, and Bill again asked:"How many of you are there now?"
10030The wagon train was a mile in the rear, and when it came up, one of the drivers asked:"How are we going down there?"
10030Then addressing myself to the bride, I said,"Do you take this man to be your lawful wedded husband through life, to love, honor and obey him?"
10030Then he sang out,"Massa Bill, is you got any hawd tack?"
10030Then there seemed to follow a kind of hurried whispering-- a sort of consultation-- and then some one called out:"Who''s there?"
10030They were asked:"Do you know who this man is?"
10030What do you want here?"
10030What for?
10030What has kept you so long?"
10030What is his name?"
10030What the mischief do you mean by the cue?
10030Where is the animal?"
10030Where''s General Penrose?"
10030Who are you?"
10030Who under the sun are you, anyhow?"
10030Would n''t you like to have a partner in your enterprise?"
10030are you the boy that was riding there, and was called the youngest rider on the road?"
10030the leader of the Danites?"
21449An''what if I am the only person? 21449 And they are loving and cherishing my Lily?"
21449And when is the attack to be made?
21449And who is your father, master cock- a- hoop?
21449And your uncle''s surname?
21449Are you in earnest, Mr McDermont?
21449Are you my Uncle Michael?
21449Are you speaking the truth?
21449Are you the only person in the house?
21449But mother, where is mother?
21449But, Massa Mike, we try and keep togedder, wo n''t we?
21449Can those be Indians?
21449Can you afford us shelter for the night, friend?
21449Can you go on, Mike?
21449Can you guide us to the nearest house where we can obtain what we require?
21449Do you hope ever to tame it, Uncle Denis?
21449Do you speak of Silas Bracher?
21449Had we not better stop?
21449Have I been long here?
21449Have you found mother? 21449 I ask you, once more, have you got the slave, and if you have, will you give him up?"
21449I hope you are satisfied with Swampyville?
21449I''m very glad that they did find you, Dio; but how did you happen to be in such a condition?
21449Indeed I am, why should I do otherwise?
21449Mike, does it strike you that the water has risen higher than it was when we first encamped? 21449 Of what wonder do you speak?"
21449Oh, Patrick, must you positively cross that wide extent of water?
21449Oh, suppose a bear and her cubs are hid away anywhere, what shall we do?
21449Probably,observed Mr Tidey;"but what were your orders, should you fail to recover the black?
21449Then perhaps you will say why you come to pay me a visit?
21449Then you do n''t deny having harboured the slave we are in search of?
21449There must be a fire somewhere near the shore,I whispered,"people are encamped there, depend upon it; how shall we proceed?"
21449Very good possibly, but where are we to find a market for our produce? 21449 Victory, victory?"
21449Wha''r Massa Denis?
21449What are these funny creatures, I wonder?
21449What are we to do with Rose?
21449What brings you here?
21449What can have become of the rascals?
21449What do you advise then?
21449What do you say, Tidey? 21449 What has happened up at the farm, Mike?"
21449What has happened, Dio?
21449What has happened, Mr Tidey?
21449What have you got there?
21449What you say, you boys?
21449What''s the matter?
21449What''s your name, my good fellow?
21449Where are the saddle- bags?
21449Where are they?
21449Where can that come from?
21449Where were you wanting to go, my poor fellow?
21449Whereabouts is it?
21449Who are you, villains, who dare thus attack a free and independent citizen?
21449Who dare?
21449Who dare?
21449Who dares thus attack my house?
21449Who knocks?
21449Who you strangers, whar you come from?
21449Why did you come here?
21449Will you take five hundred dollars for the boy?
21449You no gib up de poor slave to his hard massa?
21449Young man,he said at length,"what is your name?"
21449At length he asked, in a low voice,"Have you ever heard your uncle or mother speak of a brother, who came over to America with them?"
21449Did she survive?
21449Do let me go?"
21449Do n''t you remember me?"
21449Do you think you could sit on my horse, while we gallop over the ground?"
21449Do you understand my object?"
21449Hurrah, hurrah?"
21449I ask you whether or not you have a negro boy anywhere about your premises?
21449I say, youngsters, who is your father?
21449It will then be asked, how can a bird get in?
21449Mr Tidey, has poor Dio been retaken?"
21449My first impulse was to fly and try to escape, but in what direction should we go?
21449One of them took Mr Tidey''s horse, and another was about to take the rein of mine, when he exclaimed--"What creature have we here?
21449Was this valley to be our home, or were we to cross the second range, into a still more fertile region?
21449We did it well, did n''t we, Master Mike?"
21449Wha''r is he?"
21449What say you now to twenty thousand dollars?
21449What should we do?
21449Where is she?"
21449Will you accompany me, and try to bury them decently?
21449You understand me, Dio?
21449You will not let him escape?"
21449You will promise me?"
21449asked my father;"has poor Dio been recaptured?"
21449can anything have happened to dem?"
21449dat is Rose?"
21449dis niggar Dio know you; nebber forget you, massa; you remember de poor slave niggar who pulled de little boy out of de water?"
21449exclaimed Dio;"what she want?"
21449exclaimed Peter,"is dat you?"
21449is she coming back to Lily soon?"
21449my young cock sparrow, to whom do you belong?"
21449now, ye coward, would ye be afther usin''your knife on a woman?"
21449shall we have to cross all those mountains?"
21449what is that among the bushes?
21449you seen dem?
21449youngsters, have you seen a nigger- boy running in this direction?"
1248And he was captured?
1248And if I did, what then?
1248And what is your name?
1248Are you a Confederate soldier?
1248Are you a soldier?
1248Are you sure you know the way?
1248But suppose,said one of the party,"that you were in the valley behind one of the foothills-- what then?"
1248Can you push along a little faster, General?
1248Colonel, shall we stretch the full canvas?
1248Did n''t you know we were coming?
1248Did n''t you know,cried Will,"that my continued absence meant danger in the air?
1248Did that rascal, C----, have anything to do with her death?
1248Did they rob you?
1248Did you ever hear of a tiger- mastiff, German mastiff, boar- hound, great Dane? 1248 Do you expect to run down a buffalo with a horse like that?"
1248Do you think, Cody, that mule can set the pace to reach Larned in a day?
1248Does it?
1248Going to change your colors, eh?
1248Hain''t you the boy rider I has heard of-- the youngest rider on the trail?
1248Has n''t Will Goodman been here?
1248How could that old fortune- teller know what I''m going to be?
1248How could ze presiman won a show?
1248How is that, Lew-- poisoned?
1248How old be you?
1248How? 1248 How?"
1248My what?
1248Now, I''d look pretty in a novel, would n''t I?
1248Oh, Will, how could you do such a thing?
1248Oh, are you the boy rider that was on Chrisman''s division?
1248Puzzled by the apparently unfamiliar name, I asked:''Pardon me, but whom did you say?''
1248Religious parents, I suppose?
1248Speedy? 1248 The king?
1248The question now was, could I return without running into Indians? 1248 Well, General,"said Will, when they swung off on the trail again,"what do you think of my mount?"
1248Well, sir,said he,"what do you want with me?"
1248Well, then, why am I such a conspicuous object?
1248Well, what do you want?
1248Were there horses to meet them?
1248What Thompson?
1248What can a boy of your age do?
1248What is the matter?
1248What is your denomination?
1248What kind of dog do you call him?
1248What''s that?
1248What''s the matter with you?
1248What, again?
1248When will you set out?
1248Where did they hold you up?
1248Where were you born?
1248Where''s Cody?
1248Where''s your strong- box?
1248Who are you?
1248Who''s there? 1248 Who''s there?"
1248Who''s with you?
1248Why did n''t you shoot that first deer; did you have another attack like you had when you were a little boy?
1248Why, sir, are you not the king?
1248Why,said Will, innocently,"are buffaloes pretty speedy?"
1248Will you oblige me by tying your friend''s hands? 1248 Will you send a couple of wagons along to fetch in the meat?"
1248Will, what was the matter with you just now?
1248You do n''t think of going buffalo- hunting without Will, do you?
1248Your denomination?
1248Ai n''t it, mother?"
1248As he neared the steamer he called out,"Where is that Kansas Jayhawker?
1248Can I say a few words of welcome?
1248Did General Hazen say the cattle were for them?
1248Did he desire that the chief''s young men should accompany him?
1248Do n''t he have to be?"
1248Do you know what these papers contain?"
1248Do you want the job?"
1248Does their Great Spirit tell them to do this?
1248Early in the course of the conversation he asked:"''Madame, you haf undoubted been to see ze gr- rand Bouf- falo Beel?''
1248Had Phillips lost his way?
1248Had he failed to locate the snow- covered dugout?
1248Had he fallen victim to Indians?
1248Had he perished in the storm?
1248Had the rear train been overcome by a larger band of savages?
1248Have I spoken truly the words of the white man''s Book?"
1248He rode along in silence for a few moments, and then turned to me with the query:"Did you ever look into a deer''s eyes?"
1248How could a man ride alone into such a gloomy, terror- haunted domain?
1248How?"
1248I guess you do n''t know what horse you are riding, do you?
1248It was late in the afternoon when we reached the ranch; and the greeting of the overseer was:"Well, well; what''s all this?"
1248Nat''s face paled as he asked,"Do you think I''m a spy, Billy?"
1248Only a dog, do you say?
1248Silence-- followed by a hurried whispering, and the demand:"Who''s there?"
1248So he asked carelessly:"What have you been about lately, Bill?"
1248Stopping at a farm- house one day to obtain a meal, he was not a little surprised to hear the salutation:"Well, Billy, my boy, how are you?"
1248Suppose I make the trip, get a team for our wagon, and come back for you?"
1248That all?
1248That heartened us, babes as we were, for was not our brother our reliance in every emergency?
1248The next question was, were there soldiers with the cattle?
1248The teamster replied:"Guying that horse?
1248Thus wore the long and weary hours away, and though the men, who knew how hard a trip it was, often asked,"How goes it, Billy?"
1248Was it, then, strange that mother looked with unusual hope upon her second son?
1248Was that his name?
1248Was there a chance that the scout was mistaken?
1248We dressed the wound, and thought little of it, until some horsemen rode up, with the inquiry,"Have you seen a dog pass here?"
1248What did you enlist on the wrong side for, anyway?"
1248What more could you desire?"
1248What should I do?
1248Where were the cattle?
1248Who are you, anyway?"
1248Who goes there?"
1248Why did you take me for the king?"
1248Will it be frank and hearty, or reserved and doubtful?
1248Will returned from his scouting trip shortly after the departure of the hunting party, and his first query was:"Is Nellie here?"
1248Without a trace of"buck fever,"Will jumped up, rifle in hand, and demanded:"Here, what are you doing with my horse?"
1248Would Will drive the cattle to them?
1248Would he trust Will for a load of supplies?
1248Would the gallant beast, wounded as he was, be able to long maintain the fierce pace he had set?
1248Yankee- like, the reply was another question:"You sent a man named Nat Golden into the Union lines, did you not, sir?"
1248and what do you want?"
1248was the first query; and this answered, with sundry other information esteemed essential,"Where''s your horse?"
2057Any cougar signs back in the breaks?
2057Are we going across in that?
2057Are you the musk- ox hunter?
2057Can you hold the dogs, one by one, while muzzle them?
2057Comanches?
2057Considering what appears the impossibility of capturing a full- grown buffalo, how did you earn the name of preserver of the American bison?
2057Did n''t find it, did you?
2057Did n''t you attempt to rescue them?
2057Did we get to see him?
2057Did yu acktully tech the hair of thet mustang with a rope?
2057Did yu fellars git to see him?
2057Do n''t you smell the cat?
2057Do the horses stray far when they are hobbled?
2057Do you see those white sand dunes there, more to the left?
2057Does n''t look bad, eh?
2057Ever get a rope near him?
2057Gone?
2057Have you any shots left for the 45- 90, besides what''s in the magazine?
2057How about your other man-- Mr. Wallace, I think you said?
2057How can you ford this stream with horses?
2057How could a man have the strength and the nerve? 2057 How could paint of any kind last so long?
2057How many wild horses on the mountain now?
2057How many years?
2057How on earth did he get rid of the cougar?
2057How''d you like being hog- tied?
2057How''s the hound you and Jim fetched in las''year? 2057 How''s this?
2057I? 2057 If Wallace went over the second rim wall, will he get back to- day?"
2057Is it possible?
2057Is n''t the river high now?
2057Is this the cougar country the Stewarts talked about?
2057Kill one of my calves? 2057 Kill one of our calves?"
2057Now, I wonder what kind of a prehistoric animal holed in here?
2057Now, how''d that tomb ever get there? 2057 Now, look at that, will you?"
2057Now, what''s that?
2057Of course you can ride?
2057See him? 2057 Seen anythin''of the White Mustang?"
2057Shall I kill a calf?
2057Somethin''s comin''off, eh? 2057 Water must be somewhere; but can that be it?
2057What for?
2057What in thunder did Frank give you that white nag for? 2057 What is it?"
2057What size shot do you use?
2057What''s all the row?
2057What''s in this butter?
2057What''s it mean?
2057What''s that for?
2057What''s this?
2057What''s up?
2057What''s your plan?
2057Where are the wolves?
2057Where was everybody? 2057 Where were-- you-- all?"
2057Where you oozin''for now?
2057Where''s Jim''s old cayuse, the pack- horse?
2057Where''s Moze?
2057Who''ll stop me?
2057Why not, I''d like to know?
2057Why the hell did n''t you tell a feller?
2057Will he be able to stand it?
2057Would we have any chance to see this White Mustang and his band?
2057Would you like to trade?
2057You can not accept the theory of erosion to account for this chasm?
2057You''ve had bad accidents here?
2057Ai n''t thet so, Jim?"
2057And is n''t it cruel to keep wild animals in captivity?
2057But where were the dogs?
2057Come here, Bowser-- what''s his name?"
2057Could the pup have taken one?"
2057Did Adams and I hire to cross the Staked Plains?
2057Did n''t I say the white wolves was hell?
2057Did you ever see the like of that?"
2057Do you hear thet rumble?
2057Do you imagine I''d quit?
2057Do you suppose those wolves could have gotten a buffalo calf out from under the mother?
2057Had the silent plainsman ever told a complete and full story of his adventures?
2057Has he got a good nose?
2057Have I been dreaming of musk- oxen for forty years, to slink south now, when I begin to feel the north?
2057Have I failed to hire man after man, Indian after Indian, not to know why I can not get a helper?
2057Have I, a plainsman, come a thousand miles alone to be scared by you, or a lot of craven Indians?
2057He wagged his tail, and flopped down to pant and pant, as if to say:"What''s wrong with you guys?"
2057How about cougar sign on the mountain?"
2057How did the river cut through that without the help of a split or earthquake?"
2057How did they come on a slope where a man could hardly walk?
2057How far does it look to you?"
2057How many reindeer?"
2057How many-- did you find?"
2057Hurt?"
2057If so, did it dam the river back into another inland sea, and then wear down into that red perpendicular gorge we remember so well?
2057If that was true, what, then, could be the name of the canyon at my feet?
2057If we rounded up a grizzly, got him cornered, and threw a rope on him-- there''d be some fun, eh, Jim?"
2057Jones grabbed my hand and cried out with a voice that was new to me:"You can eat?
2057Look at it, will you?"
2057Never thought of how you fooled me, did you?
2057Now, if it is necessary to kill this lion to save me or Frank, or, of course, yourself, can you be depended upon to kill him?"
2057ON TO THE SIWASH"Who all was doin''the talkin''last night?"
2057Or was there a great break in the fold of granite, which let the river continue on its way?
2057Or was there, at that particular point, a softer stone, like this limestone here, which erodes easily?"
2057Rea had ceased his"Jackoway out of wood,"for a reiterated question:"Where are the wolves?"
2057See them marks?
2057Should he stay with his prize to save it, or leave it to be devoured?
2057THE TRAIL"Frank, what''ll we do about horses?"
2057Then he turned to me:"Are you to be depended on here?"
2057Well, why should n''t they be?
2057Were there such things as canyon mirages?
2057What are years?"
2057What could it mean?
2057What do you mean chasing off that way?
2057What do you think of thet?
2057What do you want me to do?"
2057What does it mean?"
2057What was wrong with Sounder?"
2057Where are the wolves?"
2057Where''s Sounder?
2057Who''s to tell his mother?"
2057Why did n''t you call me?"
2057Why do n''t you kill the butcher?"
2057Why?
2057Wonder what thet means?"
2057You''ll get over it?"
2057You''re better?
2057how is it with you?"
2057it against God''s word?"
2057they bounced him out of the rocks all right-- don''t you remember, just under that cliff wall where you and Wallace came up to me?
2057understand?"
2057where are the wolves?"
2057yelled Jones"What''s Sounder got?
31801A fawn? 31801 A fawn?"
31801A food riot? 31801 And how did you know that I speak French?"
31801And how do_ you_ know that I am French?
31801And to- morrow-- and yet next day?
31801And what does the great Earl of Loudon? 31801 And what of the torture, the knife, the fagot?"
31801And where is he now?
31801But do we really expect it? 31801 But how can we help it?"
31801But if a wolf licks your hand, sir, would you pat him on the head?
31801Child,said Mrs. Halsing, solemnly,"why did you ever come to the frontier?"
31801Dispatches?
31801Do you consider yourself so free, then? 31801 Have the French armed no Indian allies?
31801Him?
31801How can I sleep,--with this sense of responsibility?
31801If we do not keep our word, how can we expect Oconostota to keep his word?
31801In what capacity?
31801John Stuart,he said,"have I not called you my friend?
31801Known what better?
31801May I tell my husband?
31801Must they have twenty thrys to hit a big black buffalo? 31801 Now, Hamish,"he said, smiling behind the candle as he held the wax in it for the seal,"can you do as much again?"
31801O''Flynn,he said,"do you deem this a fitting time to set the example of broils between the settlers and soldiers?
31801Parlez vous? 31801 The tinder- box-- the flint-- where are they?
31801The white captain calls on his friends-- and where are they? 31801 Was there a demonstration of the Indians last night, Captain?"
31801What do you think of them?
31801What do-- Choté-- old town?
31801What message did he send?
31801What prisoners?
31801What was I to do, Odalie?
31801What''s your name, my lad?
31801What?
31801Where go?
31801Where is Sandy? 31801 Where, Fifine, where?"
31801Where, Fifine? 31801 Where, Josephine?
31801Where? 31801 Where?"
31801Why could n''t they have brought some conveniences, such as knives and forks and cups and platters, instead of fool trifles?
31801Why do n''t you say that in French, Odalie?
31801Why preëmpt ill- fortune for them, John?
31801Why should you care?
31801Without seeing Sandy and Odalie?
31801Would he allow you to risk yourself?
31801You call on your friend-- where?
31801You will go back to Colonel Montgomery at Fort Prince George with dispatches?
31801You wo n''t wait for Governor Bull? 31801 A waving blotch of red leaves in the autumnal dusk,--what more natural? 31801 Alexander looked anxiously at his wife-- had she found the journey, then, so vexatious? 31801 And alas, what was their fate? 31801 And for what? 31801 And how had she selected so ill among her belongings as to what she should bring and what leave? 31801 And what did the Baron Des Johnnes? 31801 And what said Colonel Sumter? 31801 And what was there now at MacLeod Station? 31801 And what was this? 31801 And whence did they come? 31801 And whither did this unknown people go? 31801 And who so glad as Willinawaugh to lose naught of his satisfaction-- neither his material nor immaterial reward? 31801 And who were they? 31801 Are we here to wage war or to maintain peace?
31801At the stockade?
31801Besides, would they let you risk it again, even for them?"
31801But even at the best could such an expedition reach them in time?
31801Can not you strike a spark?"
31801Did he fear treachery?
31801Did they not do it first?"
31801Did we not make our peace and smoke our pipe and give our belts of white wampum and sign names to the treaty we made with the white English?
31801Do you call it freedom-- in the holy_ bonds_ of matrimony?
31801Does this fidelity so clothe your body that it will not burn and crisp and crinkle in the anguish as of your hell?
31801Flanzy?"
31801For was not Montgomery instructed to offer them terms on_ his_ account only?
31801Had he grounds to suspect any renewal of the English occupancy?
31801Had he knowledge of forces now on the march in the expectation of raising the siege of Fort Loudon?
31801Had his friend, his brother, deserved this?
31801Have I not given all I possess of wealth to save your life?
31801Have they broken into the smoke- house?"
31801Have we any guarantee?"
31801He gobbled a brisk and agitated imitation of the cry of the fowl, and then broke off to exclaim,"_ Quelle barbarie!_--eh, Odalie?"
31801How could the bough stir?
31801How should he have dreamed that Odalie''s little_ Vocabulaire Français_ would be more efficacious to save his life than his rifle and his deadly aim?
31801MacLeod?"
31801MacLeod?"
31801Now do n''t ye know such wiles as he hev got for them must be deceit?"
31801Odalie, trying to seem interested, demanded, lifting her eyes,"And what do women follow?"
31801Some hole?"
31801The men who had sung in the Christmas carols remembered old English ditties,--"How now, shepherd, what means that, Why that willow in thy hat?"
31801Then exclaimed--"_Oh_, is n''t it droll, Fifine?"
31801To make our fate certain?
31801To see the fellows salaaming to the very ground as I came across the parade!--what are you doing to my frock, Captain Demeré?"
31801Was he some slight thing,--_seequa, cheefto_, an opossum, a rabbit?
31801Was_ Sekakee_ hungry?
31801Were the Rush people poor and oppressed in Carolina?
31801What more fearful?
31801What more fearful?"
31801What more fearful?"]
31801What more wonderful?
31801What need had the Tennessee Warrior for diplomacy?
31801When?"
31801Where did you see Willinawaugh?"
31801Where is Odalie?"
31801Will you volunteer?"
31801Will your oath restore sight to your eyes when a red- hot iron has seared them?"
31801Would the great chief, whose words in whatever language were of paramount importance, accept a money price?
31801Ye must have seen it,"--lowering her voice,--"a love token?"
31801[ Footnote F: Is it not so?]
31801[ Illustration:"What more wonderful?
31801_ Wahkane, wahkane!_ Was it not so when the treaty of Lyttleton was broken and Montgomery, the Terrible, came in his stead?
31801_ Wahkane?_[F] Did we not join his cause and fight his battles and shed our blood in his wars against the French?
31801_ Wahkane_, John Stuart,_ wahkane_?
31801said the Cherokee,"and him?"
31801who now so glad to protest that he would waive any personal gratification that stood in the way of utility to the Cherokee nation?
22496Ai n''t the boy going with me?
22496All the new fashions, my dear Emma?
22496And do you think that I am not, my dear mother? 22496 And he said, What shall I do?
22496And old Malachi and John, where are they?
22496And our prisoners, what shall we do with them?
22496And the wounded Indians?
22496And what did they do, Malachi?
22496And what is that, Mary?
22496And what is that?
22496And what presents could he make?
22496And when are we to learn, Mary?
22496And where''s Malachi?
22496And who was that, Martin?
22496And why not Henry, Emma?
22496And will my niece have to walk all the way?
22496And will the Angry Snake bring back the white boy if the white man gives him powder, and lead, and rifles?
22496And you have been a hunter all your life?
22496And you, my girls?
22496Are all who came here with him now in the white man''s lodge?
22496Are there any other animals there?
22496Are there any other animals to fear?
22496Are they dangerous animals, Martin?
22496Are things so very bad?
22496Are you in earnest, Martin?
22496Are you much hurt, Martin?
22496Are you much hurt, sir?
22496But do you not pray when you are alone?
22496But do your father and mother know that you come?
22496But does he live comfortably, ma''am?
22496But even if we have fodder enough for them during the winter what are we to do with them?
22496But he has a wife, Martin, has he not?
22496But how many of them do you reckon are at the work?
22496But how-- when did you leave home?
22496But if I am willing to remain with you here to share your fortunes, will not that satisfy you?
22496But if ever we were to return to England, there would be no chance of our living as we did before we left it, would there, papa?
22496But is he not too young to be trusted with a gun, uncle?
22496But is he so very old, do you really think, Martin?
22496But still, papa, you would be very glad if circumstances would permit us to return to England; would you not?
22496But suppose he had not come up with us, how would he have lived in these woods? 22496 But the animals you speak of are not good eating, Super,"said Mrs. Campbell;"is there no game that we can eat?"
22496But the raising of the dam is only preparatory, is it not, to their building their own houses?
22496But what are you going to do, Alfred?
22496But what cause could he have?
22496But what do you do all the summer time, Malachi?
22496But what do you think they would do, Malachi?
22496But what does he do there, Martin?
22496But what fashion is that, Malachi?
22496But what have we to fear from him?
22496But what is that?
22496But what was the trap?
22496But what will become of the women?
22496But who is to marry them?
22496But why did you kill the men?
22496But why do you wish to find out her tribe?
22496But why should we drive him away from his property any more than we leave our own?
22496But will it be safe to turn the cows into the bush?
22496But would it not be better to put it by until he had sufficient to buy a farm, and live comfortably?
22496But, why should he not like company? 22496 But, will they not attack him before they attack us?"
22496By goods, I suppose you mean us about you?
22496By the by, Mr. Campbell, where have you built your pig- sties?
22496By the by, how much have you got, Malachi?
22496Captain Wilson,said Percival, whose eyes were fixed on the water,"what animals are those, tumbling about and blowing,--those great white things?"
22496Certainly; is it from her?
22496Did John shoot that deer?
22496Did not the little bird lie to the Young Otter?
22496Did you send your skins down to Montreal by the_ bateaux_?
22496Do you know the part of the country where we are going to?
22496Do you remember two winters back our picking up the Indian woman, and carrying her to the house, and your father curing her sprained ankle?
22496Do you see the punt on the beach, Emma?
22496Do you tap the trees every year?
22496Do you think he is, Martin?
22496Do you think that my poor boy is lost, Malachi?
22496Do you think there is any danger, Martin, from this fire?
22496Do you think, my dear mother, that I would raise such hopes if I had not good reason to suppose that they would be realized? 22496 Does he live comfortably?"
22496Does not the cold kill the white man?
22496Emma, how can you talk such nonsense?
22496Exactly, sir; now, do you know whom it comes from?
22496Exactly,replied Malachi;"and what''s the use of money if you keep it?
22496Has my father talked to the white man?
22496Has the white man many in his lodge?
22496Have you any idea how far that may be?
22496Have you any idea what tribe she is of, Martin?
22496Have you any meat?
22496Have you ever shot any?
22496Have you money, Alfred?
22496He has powder, and lead, and rifles, and tobacco; will such presents please the Angry Snake?
22496He might well say so, Emma; for what had he lost? 22496 Here they must have taken to the water,"said Alfred;"but what means have they had to cross?"
22496How can I name a price? 22496 How do you account for that, sir?"
22496How do you get them out?
22496How do you mean squat elsewhere?
22496How do you mean, Martin?
22496How do you mean?
22496How do you mean?
22496How long has John been away?
22496How much land, do you propose applying for?
22496How much liquor do you get from one tree?
22496How so, Captain Lumley?
22496How so, Martin?
22496How so, dear coz?
22496How so?
22496I am glad of that, for I wish to speak with him,said Mr. Campbell;"but, John, how came you to take the rifle with you without leave?"
22496I must write to him, uncle?
22496I presume you will add vanity to their attributes?
22496I think it very odd that Captain Sinclair has not come to see us; do n''t you, Mary?
22496I''ll always tell when I go, if mamma will always let me go, and I''ll always come back when I promise, if--"If what?
22496Is all quite safe, do you think, Malachi?
22496Is it possible that such small creatures can make such a din?
22496Is my son from the West?
22496Is she of the same tribe as the Strawberry?
22496Is that the chief who served with the French, and wears a medal?
22496Is the Young Otter of a near tribe?
22496Is the bear good eating now?
22496Is the beaver flesh good?
22496Is the moose the same as the elk, Martin?
22496Is there a porcupine there, Malachi?
22496It must be,replied Emma;"wo n''t he speak?"
22496It was foolish of me,replied Emma?
22496John, you have frightened me very much,said Mrs. Campbell;"how could you be so imprudent as to go on the lake in such a high wind?
22496Look at me, my son; say, did you ever hear that the Gray Badger said a lie?
22496Martin,said Percival,"when are you to teach me to fire the rifle?"
22496Misfortune never comes single,replied Malachi;"what can we do?
22496My dear Campbell,said his wife,"what do you intend to do about John?
22496My dear John, you quite frightened me,said Mrs. Campbell;"why did you allow the beast to come so near to you?"
22496My good man, you are Malachi Bone, are you not?
22496No bad news, I hope, Campbell?
22496No,replied Alfred;"but, Malachi, you said that he was going to fish in the punt, did you not?"
22496No; what is it?
22496Not without Captain Sinclair?
22496Now, do we want any assistance from the fort? 22496 Now, tell us what you do when you go out to hunt the beaver in the winter, Malachi?"
22496Now, what is to be done?
22496Of sending a message by night,said Mrs. Campbell, with surprise,"why, what possible occasion could there be for that?"
22496Poor Captain Sinclair? 22496 Poor Mary: what will she suffer?"
22496Safe?
22496Shall we give him some?
22496Shall you have sufficient money, my dear boy, to pay every thing?
22496She has a very modest, unaffected look, has she not, Alfred?
22496Surely, he hardly expects us to quit the place to please him?
22496Surely, he would not do that?
22496Surveyor, I do n''t know how my name is spelt; and if I did, I could n''t write it, so I must do it Indian fashion, and put my totem to it?
22496That is very remarkable in a savage,observed Mrs. Campbell;"but how did this Pontiac contrive to surprise all the forts?"
22496That''s capital,cried Percival;"but tell me, Martin, how do you kill the bears?"
22496That''s my name,replied the hunter in a deep voice;"and who on earth are you, and what are you doing here?
22496The boy has had nothing since he left, I''ll answer for it,said Martin, as the Strawberry handed some of the pork to John,"have you, John?"
22496The chief of the Young Otter''s band is a great warrior?
22496Then what am I to do if, as you say, you will not leave your uncle and aunt?
22496Then what is the color of the other whales?
22496Then why was not the boy taken back to the white man by the Indians who found him?
22496Then you know that Percival is alive?
22496Then, where did you leave them?
22496Then, why are you uncomfortable about him?
22496They go away to- morrow, John; where do they go to?
22496This is very beautiful, is it not?
22496This is very considerate of Mr. Douglas Campbell,observed Mrs. Campbell;"of course, my dear, you can have no objection?"
22496This looks but little like a wilderness now, Mary, does it?
22496To settle here!--why, what on earth do you mean, young woman? 22496 To- morrow; and where do you go to?"
22496Very true; but what is that little figure following the chief with his arms behind him?
22496Was that you who fired just now, John?
22496Was your father of the Established Church, Malachi?
22496Was your father still in the army?
22496Well John,said Emma to him after the conversation had been ended,"what was Captain Wilson telling you about?"
22496Well, John, how did you come here?
22496Well, Mary, I suppose we must enlist too?
22496Well, and then what do you do?
22496Well, and what took place then?
22496Well, but how do you take them, Malachi?
22496Well, but is that all you can tell me, John?
22496Well, ma''am, is n''t John a cool shot?
22496Well, that is all right, Malachi; but what shall I do now while you are following up the trail?
22496Well, that''s according-- how many be you in family?
22496Well, then, Malachi, how shall we proceed?
22496Well, what did you reply, Alfred?
22496Well,observed Alfred,"now things may go on as usual within doors; and what have we to do out, Martin?"
22496Well; but how do they raise these banks, Malachi?
22496Well; but, Malachi, are we to let this be known to any body, or keep it a secret?
22496What animal is that, Martin,--is it good to eat?
22496What are the dogs after?
22496What coppers will you use, then?
22496What country is that, Alfred?
22496What did you fire at?
22496What does he say, Malachi?
22496What is a painter, then, Super?
22496What is it, Alfred?
22496What is it, Malachi?
22496What is it, Malachi?
22496What is it, Strawberry?
22496What is it, my dear?
22496What is it?
22496What is the name of this fish, Martin?
22496What is the religion of the Indians, my dear aunt?
22496What is your name among the Indians, Martin?
22496What may that be, Captain Sinclair?
22496What must we do then?
22496What of my child,--my dear, dear Percival?
22496What on earth makes you come here?
22496What sort are they?
22496What then do you advise, Emily?
22496What''s the dog''s name?
22496What''s to be done to- morrow, Martin?
22496What, Emma, afraid?
22496What, then, boy, tell me?
22496What, then, is the redress in case of his doing any mischief?
22496What, then, is your idea, Malachi?
22496Where did my ball hit him?
22496Where did that happen?
22496Where is Percival?
22496Where is he?
22496Where is it that they go to make hay, Mary?
22496Where is she?
22496Where were you born, Martin?
22496Where''s John?
22496Where-- where is my child?
22496Who is that?
22496Who, John? 22496 Why did they name you the Painter?"
22496Why do n''t you name your own price, Malachi?
22496Why do you want your box, John?
22496Why not?
22496Why should they conceal it, if there was no danger, Campbell?
22496Why should they?
22496Why should you ask a guest to undertake such a service? 22496 Why should you say so, my dear?"
22496Why so, sir?
22496Why, I do not think that any news about them is likely to be pleasant news, Emma, and therefore, why should you wish it?
22496Why, Martin,said Mrs. Campbell,"you do not mean that the children and these young ladies and I are to fire off rifles?"
22496Why, aunt, have you such an objection to Percival going out with the hunters?
22496Why, do n''t you perceive that if the mill is erected, you will be the proper person to have charge of it? 22496 Why, do you see any fish in this small stream?"
22496Why, do you wish to be fashionably dressed in the woods of Canada?
22496Why, he wo n''t come this way, will he?
22496Why, sir, do you see this mark here?
22496Why, the boy is metamorphosed,said Captain Sinclair;"is it possible that so short a time could have produced this?"
22496Why, what good can he do us?
22496Why, what was it?
22496Why, who is he?
22496Why, who is this?
22496Will he attack you?
22496Will it detain you long?
22496Will the white man be generous?
22496Will they ill- treat or ill- use her, Martin?
22496Would not the Major have been justified in detaining them?
22496Yes, so you said before; but how do you do it? 22496 Yes; it is a foot, is it not?"
22496You do n''t think that John would come into the woods without his rifle, sir, do you?
22496You have heard of the proposal of Colonel Forster, about the cattle at the fort?
22496You make me very impatient, Malachi, to know what it means; tell me from whom do you think the letter comes?
22496You said something about guns,replied Martin,"what sort of guns did you mean?"
22496You were born in Maine, Malachi, were you not?
22496You will, of course, sleep here to- night?
22496Alfred?"
22496Alfred?"
22496As they sauntered by the side of the stream, Mary said,"Well, Alfred, what do you think of the Colonel''s proposition?"
22496At what time do the ships sail for Quebec?"
22496Besides, what would they gain by attacking him?
22496Bone to call first?"
22496Bone?"
22496But I suppose we shall see or hear from you occasionally?"
22496But what are we to do, Malachi?
22496Campbell?"
22496Campbell?"
22496Can you get us some?"
22496Can you give me any prospect to cheer me?"
22496Can you, Captain Sinclair, give us any information relative to a person who appears so well known in the province?"
22496Cannon- balls were never invented for ladies, although they have no objection to balls,--have they Emma?
22496Come, Alfred and Henry, what do you propose doing?"
22496Come, John, where''s your knife?
22496Did he send the Young Otter to me to tell me that the white boy was alive and in his wigwam?"
22496Do n''t you know Martin Super, the trapper?
22496Do n''t you think so, Harry?"
22496Do you imagine that I would remain here when you were there, and my presence would be useful?
22496Do you not think that his residence among the Indians has made a great change in Percival?"
22496Do you understand, Master Percival?"
22496Does my father live with the white man?"
22496Emmerson?"
22496Have we not health and spirits?
22496Have we not our kind uncle and aunt, who have fostered us-- our cousins so attached to us?
22496He do n''t drink spirits, and if he has tobacco for smoking and powder and ball, what else can he want?"
22496He says he will be here in a few days, and"----"And what, dearest?"
22496How did he die, Captain Sinclair?"
22496How far from this did you find her?"
22496How many ought we to have?"
22496How much does fifteen times twelve make, sir?"
22496How shall we dispose of ourselves?
22496I presume it will be the last trip made by the boats this season?"
22496I presume you do not mean to quit your profession?"
22496I say, my good fellow,"said Alfred, after a while, to a man in a boat,"what is the name of that fifty- gun ship?"
22496I''ll make a hunter of him; wo n''t I, Martin?"
22496Is he not here?"
22496Is it a frolic from the fort, or what is it, that causes all this disturbance?"
22496Is it good?"
22496Is it to hunt for us?
22496Is it to watch for us, and give us notice of danger?
22496Is it true, Mr. Alfred, that we are to have some more settlers come here?"
22496Is the boy to go?"
22496It was not until they were about to sit down to supper that Mr. Campbell said,"Why, where''s Percival?"
22496John, will you look to that?
22496Malachi answered to the inquiry,"What is the matter?"
22496Malachi?"
22496Must we give up the chase when close upon it, because time''s up?
22496Now do n''t you feel some satisfaction in knowing you can load and fire them yourselves?
22496Now, Martin seeks an Indian squaw, and why not therefore marry her after Indian fashion?"
22496Now, what are we to do with the women?
22496Oh, where is he-- my dear Alfred-- where is he?"
22496Ought we not rather to thank Heaven that circumstances have enabled us to show some gratitude for benefits heaped upon us?
22496Pray what is a catamount?"
22496Shall I ask for any soldiers?"
22496Shall we receive good, and shall we not receive evil?"
22496Shall we soon see him again?"
22496Sinclair?"
22496So we are to have some sheep, I find?"
22496Soon after they had pushed into the stream and hoisted the sails, for the wind was fair, Mr. Campbell inquired how far they had to go on that day?
22496Suppose we go back and narrate our first adventure?"
22496The French ladies shrugged up their shoulders, and exclaimed,"Est- il possible?"
22496The Strawberry continued to talk to him thus, for more than an hour, when Alfred again addressed him and said,"Percival, do n''t you know me?"
22496We go out after the game; who knows where we may find it, how long we may look for it, and how far it may lead us?
22496Were you ever hugged by a bear?"
22496What can it be that he can not say for himself?"
22496What can it be?"
22496What could have put it in your head?"
22496What could he obtain more in England?
22496What do you think he said to me this morning before breakfast?"
22496What do you want it for?"
22496What does he want with the rest?
22496What has the white man to give that the Indian covets?
22496What is that?"
22496What is the man''s name?"
22496What o''clock is it?
22496What shall we do?"
22496What was the matter?"
22496What was the result?
22496What will they cost?"
22496When are you to meet the Indian, Malachi?"
22496When he entered, Malachi said,"Did you kill, my boy?"
22496When he had finished, Mr. Campbell said--"And poor Martin, where is he, that I may thank him?"
22496When will they come home?
22496When will you come over?"
22496Where is John?"
22496Where''s Percival?"
22496Where''s the boy?"
22496Which of you is named Mary?"
22496Who will remain with the prisoners?"
22496Why have you not proposed it to Alfred or Henry, or even Martin?"
22496Why so?"
22496Will you oblige us by stating what afterward took place?"
22496Will you?"
22496You do not intend that the hunter should take him with him?"
22496You have your rifles, in the bush?"
22496You recollect the man, do n''t you, sir?
22496and what do they live upon?
22496are they not dangerous, Martin?"
22496cried Emma,"and why are you going to Quebec?"
22496cried Emma;"how shall we be able to go after the cows this morning?
22496cried Malachi, laughing,"is that all?
22496did he climb the snake- fence?"
22496do you call that small game?
22496exclaimed Alfred;"then he is alive?"
22496exclaimed Emma;"and if you do come up with them, Martin, will they give her up to you?"
22496his wife and all his children, ruthlessly murdered; but what have we lost in comparison?
22496how far is a journey?"
22496is it possible?"
22496no, boy, I never married her; what has an old man of near seventy to do with marrying?
22496replied Alfred,"is it possible?"
22496said Emma;"was it in battle?"
22496said Malachi,"Could the oldest hunter have done better?"
22496said Malachi;"has he not more work to do, more things to look after, and more to care for with a farm, than when he has nothing?"
22496said Mary Percival,"at the point, it is a village-- one, two, three houses-- just opening upon us?"
22496said Mrs. Campbell;"how was that?"
22496said Mrs. Campbell;"surely it can not be so great a hardship to live in a spot like this?"
22496the practice you had during the fine weather has not been thrown away, has it, dear Emma?"
22496what noise was that?"
22496when was that?
22496where''s Mary?"
22496where?"
22496why, what must the large be, then?"
4389''Is that you, Brian?''
4389''What are you going to do with that beast?''
4389''What does this mean?''
4389( Chorus)--Oh, dear, what shall we do?
4389--“Her son?
4389After this, who can doubt the existence of miracles in the nineteenth century?
4389Ah, what now remains for thy portion but tears?

4389Are the people you live with related to you? ” Tom( hardly able to keep his gravity): “ On Eve''s side.
4389Are you her husband? ”( Tom shakes his head.)
4389As we left her cottage, and jogged on, Emilia whispered, laughing, “ I hope you are satisfied with your good dinner?
4389At last the poor girl sobbed out, “ Dear mamma, why conceal the truth?
4389At me, I suppose?
4389At what time will you be ready to start?''
4389But after all, what was the man to do?
4389But coffee is not good without plenty of trimmings. ” “ What do you mean by trimmings? ” He laughed.
4389But hark!--What means that hollow, rushing sound, That breaks the death- like stillness of the morn?
4389But mind-- cash down. ” “ And when do you mean to return the rum? ” I said, with some asperity.
4389But scenes like these must be of rare occurrence? ” “ They are more common than you imagine.
4389But what has this picture of misery and discomfort to do with borrowing?
4389But where shall we find friends in a strange land? ” “ All in good time, ” said Tom.
4389But where was the money to come from?
4389But where were the teeth to be found that could masticate them?
4389But who are these young ladies? ” he continued, as three girls very demurely entered the room.
4389But who that had once seen our friend Tom could ever forget him?
4389By the way, Moodie, did you notice farmer Flitch? ” “ No; where did he sit? ” “ At the foot of the table.
4389By the way, Moodie, did you notice farmer Flitch? ” “ No; where did he sit? ” “ At the foot of the table.

4389Did I ever show you the work I wrote upon South America? ” “ Are you an author, ” said I, incredulously.
4389Did I not see it with my own eyes?
4389Did any other human being possess such eyes, or use them in such an eccentric manner?
4389Did n''t you expect that you''d catch a good wallopping for the like of that?
4389Did she remember me on her death bed?''
4389Do n''t you feel queerish, too? ” “ Ca n''t say that I do, Jacob.

4389Do you not admit Mollineux to your table with your other helps? ” “ Mercy sake!

4389How were they lost? ” “ Oh,''tis a thing of very common occurrence here.
4389I can weel imagine the fluttering o''her heart when she spier''d of the woman for ane Willie Robertson, and asked if he was at hame?''
4389I have felt very uneasy about you for some days past, and am afraid that all is not right at home. ” Whence came this sudden fear?
4389I have tested the truth of this proverb since my settlement in Canada, many, many times, to my cost; and what emigrant has not?
4389I hoped that my guest had sufficiently gratified her curiosity, when she again commenced:-- “ How do you get your money?
4389I said,''Yes; what of that?''
4389I suppose you take out your dog and gun in anticipation? ” “ True, ” said Tom.
4389I wonder what the widows and orphans you have cheated would say to that?
4389I''m a widow with twelve sons; and''tis---- hard to scratch along. ” “ Do you swear? ” “ Swear!

4389Is there not a place in England called York? ”( Looking up and leering knowingly in his face.)

4389Mrs. Moodie, what is the matter?
4389Not drink whiskey?
4389Not use backy and snuff?
4389Now I am old and grey, My bones are rack''d with pain, And time speeds fast away-- But why should I complain?
4389Now do you comprehend? ” I nodded.

4389“ Well, how are you, Mr. S----? ” cried the farmer, shaking my brother heartily by the hand.
4389“ Well, if you arn''t a tarnation soft fool, I never saw one. ” “ What do you mane? ” exclaimed John, his dark eyes flashing fire.
4389“ Well, mister; did not you grudge your money for that bad meat? ” said D----, when we were once more seated in the sleigh.
4389“ Well, now, is it not funny that I should be the first to welcome you to Canada? ” said Tom.
4389“ What are we to do now? ” said Mr. T----.
4389“ What can it be? ” said I, with an air of perfect innocence.
4389“ What can she want? ” I asked myself.
4389“ What can that be? ” she said, directing my eyes to the strange monster.
4389“ What detained you so long, James?
4389“ What do you want with soap, John? ” “ To wash my shirt, ma''am.
4389“ What eyes? ” said he, feigning ignorance.
4389“ What has happened?
4389“ What is it, John? ” I cried from the open door.
4389“ What is the matter? ” I gasped out.
4389“ What is this horrid smell? ” cried Tom, issuing from his domicile, in his shirt sleeves.
4389“ What put that into your head, Jacob? ” This was said very demurely.
4389“ What shall I save first? ” was the thought just then uppermost in my mind.
4389“ What shall we do?
4389“ What tempted her to bring this empty bottle here? ” said Moodie.
4389“ What was that you said? ” I repeated the question; and he answered, with one of his incredulous smiles-- “ Was it to me you spoke?
4389“ What was that you said? ” I repeated the question; and he answered, with one of his incredulous smiles-- “ Was it to me you spoke?
4389“ What will become of us?
4389“ What''s that to me?
4389“ When will you be in town? ” “ On Tuesday, if I be alive.
4389“ Who knows what may happen to oie?
4389“ Who thinks of digging wells when they can get plenty of water from the creek?
4389“ Why did you quit your master, my lad? ” said Moodie.
4389“ Why should you trouble yourself about such things?
4389“ Would you have a man give away his hat and leave his own head bare?
4389“ You have heard the news, Mrs. M----? ” I looked inquiringly.
4389“ You told me that you had no fine slack, and you have stacks of it. ” “ What is fine slack? ” said I, very pettishly.
4389“''And your charge?''
4389“''Do white men eat bread the first night their papouse is laid in the earth?''
4389“''Shall we take the fishing- tackle?''
4389“''To shoot, then?
4389“''What''s the matter with Brian?''
4389“''Where do you want to go?''
4389“''Wife,''he said,''whose cart is this standing at the door, and what do these people want here?''
42742About what?
42742All?
42742Already?
42742And Colonel Florés, what have you done with him?
42742And Doña Angela?
42742And I,the missionary said sorrowfully,"you owe your life to me, and yet tried to kill me?"
42742And Valentine?
42742And how many men will you place at my disposal?
42742And now, sir, you have fulfilled your mission, I believe? 42742 And now,"he asked him gaily,"what are they engaged in?"
42742And that General Guerrero''s army is utterly routed?
42742And they are?
42742And what is that way?
42742And what is your opinion, brother?
42742And what shall I do during that time?
42742And what took place between father and daughter? 42742 And you have really decided on obeying neither the orders nor entreaties of your father?"
42742And you have those papers?
42742And you march?
42742And you still consent to give her your hand?
42742And you, Angela, must I lose you again this time and for ever? 42742 And you,"he answered with a grin of rage,"as it seems, are no longer a dealer in novillos, Señor Don Valentine?"
42742And you?
42742And, in case I succeed in carrying one of the cities you mention, I can count on you?
42742And, in that case, when will the ceremony take place?
42742Apparently so, I grant; but who guarantees me that you have not arms concealed about your person?
42742Are they not?
42742Are you off again?
42742Are you really?
42742Are you satisfied, brother?
42742Are you speaking seriously?
42742Are you the bearers of ill news?
42742At how much do you estimate your share of this night''s booty?
42742At once?
42742But I, your father-- you forget me, then, and I am no longer anything to you?
42742But are not those horsemen Apaches?
42742But how to recognise them?
42742But in case we can not join you on the road,Valentine objected,"what place will you appoint for our meeting?"
42742But is there no other way of settling the difference?
42742But supposing he has fallen into a snare, or has been killed?
42742But supposing your troops have not arrived?
42742But what have you done with Don Cornelio?
42742But what is to be done? 42742 But what urgent reason compels you to gallop so late along the roads?"
42742But where are they?
42742But where shall we find monks''robes?
42742But,one of the company objected,"if we call the French to our aid, what will they ask of us in return?"
42742By what accident are you here, then?
42742By what title and right? 42742 By whom?"
42742Can not what you have to say to me be heard by that girl, who is devoted to me?
42742Can that be the company?
42742Can we at least reckon on you?
42742Colonel Suarez?
42742Could it be possible? 42742 Could you send off the mules, wagons, and muleteers tomorrow with me?"
42742Did not Curumilla announce my return this very night?
42742Did you hear all we said?
42742Did you not expect me, brother?
42742Did you not know it, general?
42742Did you not notice, on your arrival, the wagons and carts arranged in one of the courts you crossed?
42742Did you not put faith in my words, then? 42742 Do you believe me, then, to be in great peril?"
42742Do you doubt my willingness to be of service to you?
42742Do you fancy me such a fool as to pay you beforehand?
42742Do you know that you have puzzled me considerably, Don Cornelio?
42742Do you know the contents of the letter the count wrote me?
42742Do you really ask that seriously?
42742Do you recognise the truth of the charge brought against you?
42742Do you see anything to prevent it?
42742Do you still believe in that?
42742Do you think so? 42742 Do you think so?"
42742Does he know you?
42742Does not my brother see them?
42742Does what I say astonish you?
42742Doña Angela,he said with marked significance,"was it really your own will that brought you here?"
42742Eh, Señor Don Valentine?
42742Eh, eh?
42742Eh, my friend? 42742 Eh, what?"
42742Eh? 42742 Eh?"
42742Eh?
42742Eh?
42742Eh?
42742Even if convincing reasons are offered you?
42742Explain that to me, will you?
42742For what object?
42742For what purpose?
42742For what reason?
42742For what reason?
42742For what use?
42742Gentlemen,he said, bowing gracefully to the hacenderos,"will you allow me to have a frank explanation with you?
42742Has Colonel Florés left?
42742Has anyone seen Don Valentine or the Indian chief?
42742Has anything else occurred peculiarly interesting to me?
42742Has anything new occurred?
42742Have you any news?
42742Have you any plan?
42742Have you any suspicion of him?
42742Have you come from the general, my father?
42742Have you finished?
42742Have you not guessed it?
42742Have you not the French colony of Guetzalli, founded by the Count de Lhorailles?
42742Have you really that idea?
42742Have you seen or heard nothing yet?
42742He has told you nothing?
42742He tried to dissuade you from this step?
42742Here?
42742Here?
42742How do you know, brother? 42742 How many men do you expect to be able to give me?"
42742How so, Señor Anastasio?
42742How so?
42742How so?
42742How so?
42742How so?
42742How so?
42742How three? 42742 How too late?"
42742How?
42742I could kill you,Valentine said;"you are really in my power; but what do I care for your life or death?
42742I presume that you are acquainted with the contents of the letter?
42742I suppose, at any rate, they are numerous?
42742I will go with you; for am I not your affianced, your wife in the sight of Heaven? 42742 In that case the count is victor?"
42742In that case, sir,he said presently,"with what object have you come here?"
42742Is it for today?
42742Is it my place to point it out to you?
42742Is it not my duty? 42742 Is it not?"
42742Is it true-- yes or no?
42742Is not that the best form of introduction?
42742Is that a menace, sir?
42742Is that all, sir?
42742Is that all?
42742Is that the reward for allowing you to enter my house?
42742Is that the service you had to ask of me, Belhumeur?
42742Is the shelter you offer me, my father, very far from here?
42742Is there anything new, then?
42742Is your encampment far from here?
42742It is clearly understood that the booty will be shared equally between us?
42742Me?
42742Need I tell you? 42742 Nor this gentleman either?"
42742Of what use to deny?
42742Of what was that potion composed you gave the count?
42742Pardon me, my friend,Don Rafaël continued,"but I think you said that you intended to attack tomorrow?"
42742Pardon me, sir,he said in excellent French,"but you are the French hunter of whom so much is said-- Valentine Guillois, I think?"
42742Perhaps not,he said;"but your daughter?"
42742Señor Pavo, will the life of Count de Prébois Crancé be saved?
42742Shall I see you again?
42742Shall we stay here long?
42742She had the strength to do that?
42742So soon?
42742So that you are ignorant of the deeds accomplished yesterday?
42742So that you, sir, are now captain of the colony of Guetzalli?
42742So you are on an expedition?
42742So,the captain asked,"war is decidedly declared between you and the Mexican Government?"
42742Still, if you would permit me to fulfil my mission, and tell you these conditions, it is possible----"What do you say? 42742 Suppose that things are as you state?"
42742Tell me, my child, what is the matter with you? 42742 Tell me, my friend,"Don Rafaël exclaimed, his arguments quite exhausted,"how many men can you deploy in line?"
42742That he took Hermosillo by assault?
42742Then I shall see him again?
42742Then he is at Ures at this moment?
42742Then nothing is changed?
42742Then the redskins will not attack us this night?
42742Then you are sure there are white men among them?
42742Then you confess that you have betrayed us since the first moment we met?
42742Then you do not even try to defend yourself?
42742Then you really mean to go?
42742Then you renounce for ever your position in society, and your fortune?
42742Then you will restore them to liberty?
42742This conquest with which you are menaced is imminent-- it is inevitable; and then what will happen, gentlemen? 42742 We are going to leave the camp, then?"
42742Well, and what is the result of all this?
42742Well, in the event of the general accepting, how shall I let you know it, so as to lose as little time as possible?
42742Well, sir?
42742Well,Doña Angela said with a smile,"did I not say I should be a good counsellor?"
42742Well,Valentine asked,"has she come?"
42742Well,he asked him,"have we a new chief at last?"
42742Well,he said, with the harsh accent of a man aroused at the pleasantest moment of a dream,"what do you want of me, Don Cornelio?
42742Well,the count asked,"what is the meaning of those challenges I heard?"
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Well?
42742Were it not so, should I be here?
42742What are we doing here?
42742What are you looking for?
42742What can Don Cornelio have to do in such haste at La Magdalena? 42742 What can be the matter?"
42742What can he want again?
42742What corps?
42742What do I care for that? 42742 What do I care?"
42742What do I care?
42742What do I care?
42742What do you hope from this interview, niña? 42742 What do you intend doing?"
42742What do you intend to do with us?
42742What do you intend to do?
42742What do you mean? 42742 What do you mean?"
42742What do you mean?
42742What do you mean?
42742What do you mean?
42742What do you say, brother? 42742 What do you suppose, then, sir?"
42742What do you think of it, chief?
42742What do you want to come to? 42742 What do you want, gentlemen, and who are you?"
42742What do you want, gentlemen?
42742What do you want, then?
42742What good wind brings you to Guetzalli, my dear count?
42742What greater joy than to die for the man I love?
42742What hacienda is that?
42742What has happened, then, during my absence?
42742What has happened?
42742What have I in common with God, if really He exist? 42742 What have you to say to me that is so interesting, or rather, so urgent?"
42742What hour?
42742What is it?
42742What is it?
42742What is it?
42742What is its nature?
42742What is that you say, Don Cornelio?
42742What is the matter, brother?
42742What is the matter, then?
42742What is the matter?
42742What is the meaning of this?
42742What is the missionary''s name, Señor Don Cornelio?
42742What is the use of that?
42742What is the use of this long deliberation, and such a loss of precious time? 42742 What is the use of threatening when you can act?"
42742What is to be done, then?
42742What is to be done?
42742What is your intention?
42742What makes you suppose that?
42742What next? 42742 What punishment has this man merited?"
42742What shall we do with him? 42742 What will my brother do now?"
42742What will you do?
42742What would you of me?
42742What would you? 42742 What would you?"
42742What?
42742What?
42742What?
42742When do you expect to start?
42742When do you expect to start?
42742When?
42742When?
42742Whence arises this hesitation, then?
42742Whence comes this grief that oppresses you?
42742Where are we going now?
42742Where are you going?
42742Where did Curumilla meet you?
42742Where do you desire that I should communicate to you the orders of my Government?
42742Where is Valentine?
42742Where is he, then?
42742Where is she?
42742Where is your camp?
42742Where the deuce do you want to go at this hour, Black Elk? 42742 Where?"
42742Which means?
42742Who can arrive so late?
42742Who can these men be?
42742Who can those two men be?
42742Who could be strong enough to galvanise this people?
42742Who ever heard such an infernal row?
42742Who goes there?
42742Who is he?
42742Who is there?
42742Who knows?
42742Who the deuce do you expect will surprise you here?
42742Who would dare enter in this way except me?
42742Why are you pursuing us?
42742Why can I no longer hate you?
42742Why did you give him his liberty?
42742Why did you join us, then? 42742 Why did you not warn us?"
42742Why do you not answer me?
42742Why does he not address himself to Don Louis?
42742Why not take your cavalry?
42742Why so if you love me?
42742Why so? 42742 Why so?
42742Why so? 42742 Why so?"
42742Why so?
42742Why so?
42742Why so?
42742Why such precautions?
42742Why these tears?
42742Why, doctor,the captain remarked to him,"what sort of treatment is this?
42742Why, if he displeases you?
42742Why?
42742Will you not join our party, Belhumeur?
42742Will you persevere?
42742With whom have I the honour of speaking?
42742Without taking a moment''s rest?
42742Would you venture to doubt it?
42742Yes,he said,"he has a dysentery; but do you know what the physician gave him?"
42742You are certain of that?
42742You are not aware that the count fought a battle yesterday?
42742You are perhaps unaware, my friend, that Hermosillo is surrounded by market gardens, which render the approaches almost impracticable?
42742You are proscribed, my poor darling,she said gently;"and is it not woman''s mission in this world to support and console?
42742You are sure of it?
42742You are sure of it?
42742You are sure of that?
42742You do not know what to be after? 42742 You do not say no?"
42742You do not, of course, intend to return this evening?
42742You have not killed him?
42742You intend, then, to act energetically?
42742You promise it?
42742You shall see, for I do not wish to deprive you of the pleasure of a surprise; and, by the way, how do you find what I have just done to you? 42742 You think so?"
42742You went out by the door of the corral then, chief?
42742You will come with me, my brother, I trust?
42742You wish it?
42742You wish to speak with me, my father?
42742_ Cuerpo de Cristo!_Don Rafaël exclaimed,"do you know, my friend, this is very serious?"
42742_ Válgame Dios!_the superstitious Spaniard said as he crossed himself,"what is this?"
42742And he added, with a sarcastic smile,--"Do you intend to pursue the Apaches with such weapons?"
42742And it is you, sir, a man who calls himself a Frenchman, who dares to become the bearer of such dishonouring conditions?
42742And now, my friend, as I have answered all your questions frankly and without comment, will you do me the kindness to tell me why you asked them?"
42742And the chief, how many warriors has he with him?"
42742And this person?"
42742And you know the contents of the letter?"
42742Are you no longer the man of Hermosillo?"
42742Are you too tired to get on horseback?"
42742At length she continued:"And do you not suspect what this missionary wishes to say to me, Don Cornelio?"
42742At this moment the advanced posts uttered the cry of"Who goes there?"
42742Brother, brother, what have you done?"
42742But do you reflect that, in dying, you drag down with you to the grave another person?
42742But how to obtain this result?
42742But is the misfortune, though so terrible, irreparable?
42742But we did not think of that; you will need an escort----""For what?"
42742But what has happened?"
42742But what matter these tears, my well- beloved?
42742But when will these horsemen( who, by the way, will be very useful to me, as I possess so few at the moment) be able to join me?"
42742But where is the man who will undertake to visit this people, and negotiate with the alcaldes of the Pueblos?"
42742But which shall it be?
42742But who is the person accompanying you?"
42742But will you not dismount, general, so that we may discuss more at our ease the grave questions which doubtless bring you here?"
42742By what right do you seize on all that is dear to us?
42742Can I do it?
42742Can I still count on you?"
42742Can we not find among us, then, a chief worthy of commanding us?
42742Can you spare me fifty adventurers?"
42742Could you not select a more favourable moment to talk with me, for I suppose what you have to say to me is not extremely important?"
42742Did I not tell you that I knew all?"
42742Did I not tell you that I love you, Louis?"
42742Did not you see them march past the hacienda an hour ago?"
42742Did you accept this interview for the purpose of insulting me?"
42742Did you find in the mission church the hilt of a dagger with an S engraved on the pommel?"
42742Do you intend to give this answer soon?"
42742Do you not know that your father is our most inveterate foe?"
42742Do you now understand?"
42742Do you promise to obey me?"
42742Does he know you by sight?"
42742Don Louis, startled by this sudden apparition, rubbed his eyes and seized his pistols, saying in a firm voice,--"Who is there?"
42742Doña Angela exclaimed,"what do I care about death if I am not to see again the man I love?"
42742El Buitre exclaimed with strange emotion,"are you really the Trail- hunter?"
42742For what purpose are these men leagued with our enemies?"
42742For whom, then?"
42742Frenchman?"
42742Have you noticed the arms and ammunition continually arriving?
42742How could we serve you?
42742How have you been since I last had the pleasure of seeing you?"
42742How long did they remain in this condition?
42742How much do you want for my ransom?
42742I suppose?"
42742Is it not so?"
42742Is it too much?"
42742Is that a reason to let ourselves be demoralised and downcast?
42742Is there not somewhere near here a French colony?"
42742Is this the boasted Mexican courtesy?
42742Is what you tell me really the truth?"
42742It is as good as what you were preparing for us, I think?"
42742Louis said,"are we really going to see a cockfight?"
42742Must I not acquit the debt I have contracted with all my friends, who died to defend my cause?
42742Not a single witness for the defence was examined; for what was the use of it?
42742Now, do you know the man who made himself the generals right arm, and carried into effect the odious treachery of which we were so nearly the victims?
42742Ought we, through this death, to lose all our courage, and abandon a task which is scarce commenced?
42742Shall we not halt soon?"
42742Still the transaction I have to propose to you is of rather a peculiar nature, and I am afraid----""What of?
42742Supposing, as may be unfortunately the case, that we are beaten by the Mexicans-- what will happen then?
42742Tell me, Loyal Heart, have you received any visitor during the last twenty- four hours?"
42742That I shall refuse?
42742That hilt signified, I think, that you were to take a walk in this quarter?"
42742The count dismounted, and turning to his soldiers with the shout,"Who''ll take the guns?"
42742The courier was doubtlessly a native, an Indian?"
42742The idea is original, is it not, especially as, for this affair, they will be disguised as Indians?"
42742The object of our meeting is an offensive and defensive alliance between yourselves and me, is it not?"
42742Then he added in a louder voice,--"Have you not executed my commission, then?"
42742Then he added,"Has he been gone long?"
42742Then we shall not meet again till the appointed moment?"
42742Then, turning to his guests, he said,"I presume you will dine with me, for you can not start again before tomorrow?"
42742Valentine said thoughtfully,"what interest can that man have in absenting himself so secretly?"
42742Valentine said with an ironical laugh,"you are no longer majordomo, then, Señor Don Isidro Vargas?"
42742Was I wrong?"
42742We are, then, on the road to Hermosillo?"
42742We have lost the man who has hitherto guided us; but must we say that, since he is dead, no one can take his place?
42742Well, can not you guess why, Don Louis?
42742Well, what consequence is it if he return an hour sooner or later?"
42742Were you not aware of the fact?"
42742What are you doing here?"
42742What are you to us Mexicans but strangers?
42742What can I do for you?"
42742What can I do with the few men I command?
42742What can be the matter?"
42742What can be the matter?"
42742What community of ideas could have existed between them to produce a change so extraordinary and inexplicable?
42742What could have happened?
42742What did he care for these empty ceremonies?
42742What did the count''s enemies care whether he fell standing or on his knees, with eyes bandaged or not?
42742What do I care for aught else?"
42742What do I care for the names given you, my friend?
42742What do we want of him at this moment?
42742What do you peaceful colonists care for this rebellious count, whom I dare say you never heard of?
42742What do you think about him, you who know him, eh?"
42742What do you think of them, my friends?
42742What does that prove, if you did me in a single day more injury than all the good you did me during the course of our relations?"
42742What had happened, then, since the treaty of Guaymas?
42742What has become of my fair dreams, my seductive hopes?"
42742What is the matter with you?"
42742What is the remedy for the evil?"
42742What means shall I employ?"
42742What means should he employ?
42742What more can they demand?"
42742What more do you want?
42742What next?
42742What other woman but Doña Angela could come to see him in this way?
42742What powerful cause had thus changed the Spaniard''s character?
42742What reason was sufficiently powerful to make them forget their hatred?
42742What will you do?"
42742What will you do?"
42742What will your father think if he does not see you on his arrival?"
42742What would the Mexicans think, in whose opinion you have stood so high up to the present day?
42742What would your brethren in California say?
42742When do we start?"
42742When?"
42742Where are Doña Angela and Doña Luz at this moment?"
42742Where are you going?"
42742Where did Don Louis go to at so early an hour?"
42742Where did you find it?"
42742Where?
42742Who are your men?"
42742Who could have predicted this when I left San Francisco, full of hope, to work those mines which I shall never see?
42742Who does not remember the heroic episode of Count Gaston de Raousset- Boulbon''s life?
42742Who else is coming with us?"
42742Who has taken the Count de Lhorailles''place in the government of the colony?"
42742Who is wrong-- who is right?
42742Who knows if things are not better so?
42742Who knows what will be the consequences of this love?"
42742Who will dare to attack the reputation of her who has married the saviour of her country?"
42742Who will dare to be judge between us?
42742Why augment my despair?
42742Why do you say that to me?
42742Why must they be so barren?"
42742Why so?"
42742Will you accept me as your wife?"
42742Will you parley?"
42742Will you swear on your side to protect us, to defend us, and give us good and loyal justice toward and against all?"
42742With whom have I the honour of speaking?"
42742Would you like me to save you the trouble of an explanation?"
42742Would you mind placing us where it would be possible for us to overhear your conversation, and not be seen?"
42742You admit us into your ranks?"
42742You do not intend to leave this bivouac, I fancy?
42742You do not intend, though, to stay there long?"
42742You have nothing further to add?"
42742You have quite understood me, I presume?"
42742You have, I suppose, all the stores necessary for entering on a campaign?"
42742You intend to marry this lady?"
42742You know that I trust to you for the precautions to be taken?"
42742You must be exposed to a thousand annoyances, and compelled to conceal yourself?"
42742You must live for your wife and your children; besides, can we expose Doña Angela to the risk of being killed among us?"
42742You understand me, sir?
42742You understand me?"
42742You understand me?"
42742a good deal; but I suppose you are not going to remain on horseback?"
42742and naturally they took their mules with them?"
42742and who was it signed by?"
42742are you certain of what you assert?"
42742can it be possible?"
42742cívicos?
42742do you intend to take your answer personally?"
42742free?"
42742have you a message for me?"
42742he exclaimed with admiration,"what are you doing there?"
42742he exclaimed; but in a moment added,"Where is the sum?"
42742he said with considerable emotion,"Are you Valentine Guillois?"
42742he said with surprise,"do you accompany me, my father?"
42742he said,"the Count de Lhorailles?"
42742he said,"you have guns with you?"
42742he stammered in a low voice,"what can be the matter with me?"
42742how can a man like you have a grudge against anyone in particular?
42742my troops not arrived?
42742she continued with animation,"do you fancy I do not know what is troubling you now?
42742that is it?
42742the Spaniard said with great composure,"Is that you, captain?
42742the count asked him;"and what is the meaning of the state in which I see you?"
42742the general exclaimed with sorrow,"what reason urged you to abandon me thus?"
42742the hunter said,"then a courier did not arrive last night?"
42742the hunter said;"what is to be done?
42742the missionary replied,"Is that what you swore to me?"
42742the two persons who are waiting?"
42742then you fancy he has come on your account?"
42742to Hermosillo?"
42742what is it?"
42742what is the matter with you?"
42742what shall I be after now?"
42742why did she love me?"
42742why have you come to revive, by your presence, regrets which nothing will be able to calm again?"
42742will you really break down when the hour of danger has pealed?"
42742you come from Pitic?"
42742you presume so?"
42742you wish to leave me?"
34697A million what?
34697Ai n''t you scair''t to let him tote a rifle?
34697Already?
34697And I pick my own mules?
34697And how do you think,Bibbers was saying when Joe joined the group,"I got this?"
34697And if He meant them to shoot, I suppose they''d be born with a rifle in their hands?
34697And she means much to you?
34697And which of the three are you going to honor?
34697And why would n''t they tell you that at Axton? 34697 And you,"the other guessed,"aim to go?"
34697Any complaints?
34697Any of you got anything to say?
34697Are n''t you about finished, Mother?
34697Are n''t you tired?
34697Are they all right?
34697Are they comin'', Pa? 34697 Are we going to the Trevelyans''barn dance Saturday night, Mother?"
34697Are you John Seeley?
34697Are you afraid to stay with the youngsters for a while?
34697Are you all right?
34697Are you all right?
34697Are you awake, Barbara?
34697Are you glad we came, darling?
34697Are you going out?
34697Are you going to cut more trees?
34697Are you going to winter at Laramie?
34697Are you happy, Daddy?
34697Are you running out on me?
34697Are you staying with us?
34697Are you sure?
34697Are you tired, darling?
34697Barbara, is it your wish to talk with Private Gearey for five minutes?
34697Better save those for the kids, had n''t you?
34697But do n''t you miss your friends in Missouri?
34697But we''ll get one, huh?
34697But what if there''s a whole mob of them?
34697But you do n''t know where he came from?
34697By not explaining, you hoped to make a fool of me, is that it?
34697Ca n''t the wind change its mind?
34697Ca n''t we get out of sight of those blasted--"Your message?
34697Can I go up by Pa? 34697 Can I have it, Pa?"
34697Can I help you with it, Daddy?
34697Can I help you, Ma?
34697Can I help you, sir?
34697Can I take the rifle an''go huntin'', Pa?
34697Can I use the rifle?
34697Can Mike go too?
34697Can a lone wagon get through?
34697Can a man figure on finding something to do through the winter?
34697Can we get down the Trail?
34697Can we get quarters?
34697Can you feed the youngsters and yourself in the wagon?
34697Can you find out?
34697Can you slip down this knoll, see if you can work around behind''em, and scare''em toward me?
34697Can you stand up?
34697Can you tell me where John Seeley lives?
34697Cash deal?
34697Come next spring?
34697Depends on how you look at things, do n''t it?
34697Did Tad have it again?
34697Did Tad tell you?
34697Did he say anything about the quarters we''ll find there? 34697 Did it hurt?"
34697Did n''t anyone ever tell you that a horse ca n''t outrun a coyote?
34697Did n''t he help you?
34697Did they have horses?
34697Did you aim at his ear?
34697Did you bring a case of smallpox here?
34697Did you get him, Pa?
34697Did you get him?
34697Did you have a good day?
34697Did you have any trouble?
34697Did you know a man named Seeley?
34697Did you know also that the army is n''t selling any mules?
34697Did you know the storm was coming?
34697Did you know, when you received this animal, that it was army property?
34697Did you say antelope?
34697Did your mother or sister tell you to get the worms and tackle?
34697Do I have to take a bath? 34697 Do I pay you before you start or after you finish?"
34697Do n''t you ever think of anything else?
34697Do n''t you have any children?
34697Do n''t you know better than to fool around with wildcats?
34697Do n''t you see we ca n''t do it? 34697 Do n''t you want him to know, dear?"
34697Do they buy such things?
34697Do you believe in love?
34697Do you have proof that what you''ve said is true?
34697Do you hear anything?
34697Do you know right where they are, Tad?
34697Do you know what?
34697Do you mean to tell me,Ellis demanded righteously,"that you will not offer hospitalization to this sick child?"
34697Do you mean you can single out just one escort?
34697Do you realize, Mr. Tower, that we shall have to take the mule and detain you until we have investigated?
34697Do you suppose he''s in trouble?
34697Do you suppose they''ll come tonight, Pa?
34697Do you think he''ll work with one?
34697Do you think they''ll keep them in the guardhouse very long, Mother?
34697Do you think we''ll have Indian fights, Pa?
34697Do you think you can keep those youngsters busy today, so they wo n''t bother your mother and sister?
34697Do you think you can make another crop?
34697Do you think you should give it away?
34697Do you want the doctor?
34697Do you want to call them, Joe? 34697 Do you want to ride ahead this morning?"
34697Do you want,Bibbers blustered,"to make something of it?"
34697Do-- do you think it''s right--? 34697 Don''t-- don''t you think we''d better go back?"
34697Everything was all right, huh?
34697Going on to Oregon when the weather breaks?
34697Going to Laramie?
34697Got your seeding done?
34697Hang on to them, will you?
34697Has Gearey been sparking your daughter?
34697Have another one?
34697Have n''t I told you to leave that rifle alone?
34697Have you asked her?
34697Have you had breakfast?
34697Have you reflected upon your ardent suitors''fist- fight of last night?
34697Hear that, Emma?
34697How about Indian trouble?
34697How about Mike?
34697How about free land?
34697How about hauling some of this timber while I work a bit more on the foundation?
34697How about taking the job you just saw left vacant? 34697 How are the Indians now?"
34697How are you doing?
34697How are you traveling?
34697How come what?
34697How come you did n''t give them back their mule?
34697How come, Pa?
34697How come?
34697How could you when you''re away all day long?
34697How did you ride out the storm?
34697How do I get to Oregon?
34697How do you know?
34697How do you like it?
34697How far are we from Oregon?
34697How far can I get this season?
34697How far can I get?
34697How high did you hold on him?
34697How is she?
34697How is the baby?
34697How is the youngster?
34697How many are going with you?
34697How many are there?
34697How many do you have?
34697How many more years will it take?
34697How many years?
34697How much did you eat?
34697How much do you think it''s worth?
34697How was it today?
34697How''d you know I''d go fishing this afternoon?
34697I know, but would you want Clover to suffer? 34697 I thought you''d gone to see Buster Trevelyan?"
34697I wondered if you''ve changed your mind?
34697Indians bother you much?
34697Indians?
34697Is n''t it badly rumpled?
34697Is n''t that cutting our time very short?
34697Is n''t this weather wonderful?
34697Is one team of mules enough?
34697Is something wrong?
34697Is that the only reason you knew?
34697Is that your dog?
34697Is there anything else?
34697Is there something I may do for you?
34697Is there--?
34697Is this Oregon?
34697Is this Oregon?
34697Is this Oregon?
34697Is this your little beast?
34697It does n''t seem possible, does it?
34697It''s Oregon, is n''t it, mama?
34697It''s almost the last one, is n''t it?
34697It''s like being born again, is n''t it?
34697It''s nothing-- nothing at all.--Uh-- May I ask you a question?
34697Jim?
34697Just how did you expect us to move on without another mule?
34697Keep them near the wagon, will you?
34697Land? 34697 Like riding on feathers,"Joe agreed and he called back to his daughter,"How do you like this, Bobby?"
34697Loafing again, huh?
34697Martha was so tickled to see the hen that she said,''Why do n''t you take them two pigs, Henry? 34697 Maybe Mom will fix them tonight, huh?"
34697Maybe you''ll stay and help us eat these?
34697Me? 34697 Missed, huh?"
34697Mother, what_ would_ I tell them? 34697 No harm in hinting, is there?"
34697Nothing,Joe admitted,"but womenfolk don''t--""Do n''t what?"
34697Oh, Joe, do you suppose--?
34697On what?
34697Reckon we can make it?
34697Reckon you could keep them moving?
34697Say, what are you so gosh darn low about?
34697See anything?
34697Sergeant--?
34697Shall I shorten the stirrups?
34697She saved her tears for you, did n''t she?
34697Since when did you have to have things sociable?
34697Smoke?
34697So you can too, huh? 34697 So?"
34697So?
34697Start the bellows will you, honey?
34697Suppose I borrow some boards from Jake Favors and lay them across those chunks? 34697 Suppose a mule dies and you have to buy another?
34697Suppose an emigrant without any money comes through?
34697Suppose old Mike had been loose, and pitched into those dogs like he wanted to? 34697 Suppose they come after us?"
34697Sure, Pa. You want buffalo too?
34697Take these to your mother, will you? 34697 That your stock?"
34697That''s it, huh?
34697The fire should be out, huh?
34697Then we should make it in tomorrow?
34697Then you do get freight in winter?
34697Therefore you knew that this one was stolen from the army?
34697Think it will snow, Pa?
34697Think you got him?
34697Time for bed, darling?
34697Too proud to explain, is that it?
34697Want to go there?
34697Want to go to the hospital?
34697Want to see me, eh? 34697 Want to stay and work for me?"
34697Want to swap your wolf pelt for it?
34697Was Mr. Seeley sure that we can reach Laramie before winter closes in?
34697Was he drunk?
34697Was he runnin''?
34697Was it nice there?
34697Was that a war party?
34697Was there nobody at the store?
34697Was-- was he sure there''ll be no Indian trouble?
34697We ca n''t get through?
34697We need meat, do n''t we?
34697We''d best keep Bobby away from him, do n''t you think?
34697We''ve come a right smart ways without seein''any, ai n''t we?
34697Well?
34697Wh-- where are we?
34697Whar''d you l''arn that?
34697What are they?
34697What are they?
34697What are you driving at?
34697What are you going to do now, Mother?
34697What are you going to do, Joe?
34697What are you smiling about, Mother?
34697What can I do for you?
34697What did she say?
34697What did they say?
34697What did you do to Tad?
34697What did you say to that?
34697What did you say?
34697What did you say?
34697What did you tell him, Joe?
34697What did you tell them?
34697What do you mean?
34697What do you need?
34697What do you think about it?
34697What do you think happened?
34697What do you think it is?
34697What do you think of it?
34697What do you want of me?
34697What do you want, Joe?
34697What else will I need?
34697What else?
34697What else_ could_ you have told him?
34697What for? 34697 What happened, Ellis?"
34697What happened?
34697What is it, Tad?
34697What is it, mother?
34697What is it?
34697What man?
34697What on earth could have brought that on?
34697What right did you have to take us away from our home? 34697 What sort?"
34697What would you have done?
34697What would you most regret, Ellis?
34697What you been doing?
34697What''d you shoot at?
34697What''s it like, Emma?
34697What''s my business?
34697What''s the best way?
34697What''s the dog barking at?
34697What''s the matter with the child?
34697What''s the matter?
34697What''s the matter?
34697What''s wrong now, teacher?
34697What''s wrong, Pa?
34697What?
34697What?
34697What?
34697When we startin'', Pa?
34697Where did you get it?
34697Where does he come from?
34697Where''d you get him?
34697Where''s the wagon?
34697Where''s your booie knives?
34697Where?
34697Who did he shoot at?
34697Who in this family would eat Clover, Joe? 34697 Who is it?"
34697Who you think I am? 34697 Who''s the fourth rifle?"
34697Why are you so much against the west? 34697 Why ca n''t you make''em fine?"
34697Why could n''t they have waited until we came along?
34697Why did you bring us to this terrible place?
34697Why did you take the mule?
34697Why do aspens shake, Jim?
34697Why do n''t you come along?
34697Why do n''t you come to Oregon? 34697 Why do n''t you fix it, Pa?"
34697Why do n''t you go fishing and do your pondering, Daddy? 34697 Why do n''t you?"
34697Why do you say that?
34697Why do you want to know about Gearey, Emma?
34697Why not?
34697Why should I?
34697Why the blazes do n''t you? 34697 Why?"
34697Why?
34697Why?
34697Will she wear a bonnet?
34697Win what?
34697Wonder if I can borrow boards to make a table and benches?
34697Would n''t you like to do other things?
34697Would n''t you like to see it out?
34697Would n''t you like to see some?
34697Would you have some whisky?
34697Would you mind very much if I did not go with you?
34697Would you mind walking me to the store, Ellis? 34697 Yeah?"
34697Yeah?
34697Yes, Ma?
34697Yes?
34697Yes?
34697Yes?
34697Yes?
34697You an Oregon emmy- grant?
34697You and Bobby feed the youngsters and have your own supper, will you? 34697 You are n''t tired?"
34697You butchering now?
34697You can finish the building yourself, ca n''t you?
34697You did n''t like it?
34697You do n''t aim just to point your nose west and follow it?
34697You do n''t figure on gettin''to Oregon this season, do you?
34697You do n''t want me to be a hired man again, do you, Emma?
34697You do trust me, Emma?
34697You goin''to winter at Laramie?
34697You going to plant again?
34697You guess? 34697 You have an army mule in your possession?"
34697You have?
34697You knew this all the time?
34697You know Ellis ai n''t lettin''that girl child of your''n outen his sight? 34697 You lost a horse?"
34697You never have luck, do you?
34697You thinkin''of goin''?
34697You want a fi''?
34697You want a free hand, huh?
34697You want to buy the metal for your axles?
34697You were willing to take a chance, were n''t you? 34697 You wo n''t like leaving the stove behind?"
34697You would n''t want to sell or trade a couple of those hens, would you?
34697You''re a mule man, huh?
34697_ Where_ did you get it?
34697A little excitement stole his nervousness and he said to Emma,"Quite a place, huh?"
34697After a moment, the youngster spoke,"Why did n''t you go to the store with Dad?"
34697Ai n''t that so, Ellis?"
34697Alfred asked,"How many stones I got?"
34697All right?"
34697All right?"
34697And is n''t it exciting?"
34697And-- Joe still thought of her as very fragile-- could she bear up under the hardships of such a long journey?
34697Anybody hungry hereabouts?"
34697Are there places along the way where we might buy new provisions?"
34697Are they really comin''?''
34697Are you coming over tonight?"
34697As for Barbara, Ellis seemed smitten, sure enough, but would he be respectful and take good care of her on the jaunt to Laramie?
34697Barbara asked anxiously,"Is Ellis coming?"
34697Barbara asked,"Is something the matter, Daddy?"
34697Barbara said steadily,"Mother, will you bring me a pillow?"
34697Besides, did n''t they call you a hayseed?"
34697But because he did not know how to ask, Joe said only,"Have you asked Barbara?"
34697But no man could really know unless he tried the journey himself; how could Grandpa Seeley have forecast the rain and the sea of mud?
34697But what about payment?
34697But what did you say you''re going to do to Joe?"
34697But why the anger?
34697But, though Tad would be wild with joy at the very thought, was the west really a place for Barbara?
34697Ca n''t you wait until we see some?"
34697Can I borrow a currycomb and brush?"
34697Can I go tell Buster Trevelyan?"
34697Can I shoot a buffalo, Pa?
34697Can I?"
34697Can we ford?"
34697Can you catch your chickens?"
34697Can you shoot?"
34697Can you tie that one?"
34697Comin'', Ellis?"
34697Could Joe, Jim Snedeker, and whoever else might happen to be around Snedeker''s post, defend Joe''s family?
34697Could it be that she had misjudged him?
34697Dawn came softly and Tad called,"Pa.""Yes?"
34697Did you bring plenty of bullets?"
34697Did you sleep well?"
34697Do n''t the place smell sort of funny?"
34697Do n''t you know?"
34697Do we need any more, Pa?"
34697Do you have any objections?"
34697Do you have this animal with you?"
34697Do you know how far behind the rest you are?"
34697Do you know they''s even crazy talk of a railroad an''wire line clean across the kentry?
34697Do you know whar you''re goin''in Oregon?"
34697Do you see my light?"
34697Do you think they''ve gone?"
34697Do you think we''ll get all the way to Oregon without findin''any?"
34697Do you want to know how they measure land in the west?
34697Elias Dorrance asked,"What will you do now?"
34697Elias?"
34697Ellis asked,"Want to bring a sled up while I skin these?
34697Emma asked casually,"Joe, do you know anything about this young man, Hugo Gearey?"
34697Emma asked,"Are you all right, Joe?"
34697Emma asked,"Did you get a lot done?"
34697Emma asked,"Pop some more corn, will you?"
34697Emma said,"Is something wrong?"
34697Emma said,"May we have some fresh water, Joe?"
34697Emma saw it too, and the alarm she felt was plain in her voice,"What''s the matter?"
34697Emma says you''re going to Oregon?"
34697Emma spoke softly,"She''s been very fretful since noon, and did n''t you notice that she ate very little?"
34697Emma''s heart ached for him, but what could she do?
34697For instance, though they probably could camp beside the wagon much of the time, suppose there were stormy nights and they had to sleep inside?
34697For that matter, suppose they did attack?
34697Get lost?"
34697Had it come from some castle in England, or perhaps Spain?
34697Had n''t you better knock off for a while and get some sleep?"
34697Have you hunted buffalo?"
34697Have you seen my daughter?"
34697He asked,"Your family is at Snedeker''s, eh?"
34697He blurted,"How would you like to go west?"
34697He clenched his long rifle and whispered,"See them?"
34697He heard a shouted,"Where are you?"
34697He left, and Grandpa asked Joe,"What do you want to know about?"
34697He said suddenly,"Joe, what do you think of women?"
34697He said with honest surprise,"_ I_ made it easy for her?"
34697He said,"How about gathering stones for a fireplace, Tad?"
34697He said,"That''s my rifle too, huh?"
34697He said,"What''s wrong?"
34697He was burdened by an overwhelming sense of clumsy inadequateness, and though he knew he could do nothing he asked anyway,"Can I do anything for you?"
34697Henry, do you want the front or the rear?"
34697Her voice was shocked,"Joe, did you see what those women were wearing?"
34697How about my freckle- faced son?"
34697How about over there under the first tree?"
34697How about the south wall?"
34697How are the pigs?"
34697How are the youngsters?"
34697How are your mules?"
34697How did it go today?"
34697How do you like him?"
34697How far is it?"
34697How many more hurts would she have in the west?
34697How many other muddy rivers and creeks had he forded?
34697How many proposals have you had?"
34697How many times must I tell you to wipe the mud from your shoes before you come in?"
34697How will you feel when there is_ nothing_ to eat-- nothing for the babies, nothing for any of us?
34697How''d you keep warm?"
34697Huh?"
34697If you knew these two men were thieves, why did you not take them into custody?"
34697Independence had its allure, but she had her children to think of and who knew what evil lurked in a place like this?
34697Is it all taken?"
34697Is it the same fever?"
34697Is n''t it cold?"
34697Is n''t it monotonous?"
34697Is there any chance of getting out of the storm?"
34697Is there any safety in the wilderness?_ Her hand stilled, then resolutely took up its stroking again.
34697It had depth and breadth, but was n''t that what they''d hoped to find?
34697Jim, when can we expect grass?"
34697Joe asked in some astonishment,"On the Oregon Trail?"
34697Joe asked wonderingly,"Who did he assault?"
34697Joe called,"Emma, get the kids on the floor, will you?
34697Joe fell back on a stock question,"Where''s Tad?"
34697Joe said dryly,"Eleanor has the manners of a pig, huh?"
34697Joe said gently,"Leave the women and kids here unprotected?"
34697Joe said happily,"Have some more, Joey?
34697Joe said in astonishment,"What the dickens happened to you?"
34697Joe said sternly,"What''s that you said?"
34697Joe said,"Do n''t seem like tonight is Christmas Eve, does it?"
34697Joe said,"Keep your eye peeled for antelope, will you?
34697Joe said,"You got one, huh?"
34697Joe, I''m--""Yes?"
34697Just for an hour?"
34697Know what I decided?"
34697Land, my friend?
34697Little Joe asked,"How far is Oregon?"
34697May I go?"
34697May I see you-- soon?"
34697May I stay with Marcia tonight?"
34697May I tell you about-- about before I came to Snedeker''s?"
34697No man could possibly ask more than that from any other man, and who knew what a fool steer would decide to do?
34697Only, can he make things safe?
34697Or had the Indians, whom Major Dismuke respected and Winterson scorned, finally attacked?
34697Pete finished his breakfast, and after a moment''s silence he said,"Who''ll I pay, Joe?
34697Pres''dent of the Unitey States?"
34697Really?"
34697Reckon you saw Sophie?"
34697Say, you do n''t have a team of horses or mules to sell, do you?"
34697Send somebody to Camp Axton to bring the soldiers?"
34697Shall I go tomorrow morning or would you rather I stayed here?"
34697Shall we bring your mare mule in and shoe her?"
34697She asked,"How long do you think it will take you, Joe?"
34697She asked,"What did you do then, Ellis?"
34697She lifted her face then, startled by her own audacity, and said,"Want to see me do it?"
34697She looked tired and worn, or was that his imagination?
34697She said airily,"What do n''t you like?"
34697She said, dazedly,"It''s-- it''s hard to believe, is n''t it?
34697She said,"Why do n''t you take a walk, Joe?"
34697She smiled knowingly,"Do you miss Missouri, Joe?"
34697She whispered through the curtain,"Tad?"
34697Sit there?"
34697Snedeker addressed the youth,"Ai n''t he a heck of a emmy- grant, Ellis?"
34697Snedeker had said that Ellis had followed a girl all the way from Maryland, and what sort of trouble was he in?
34697Somethin''we can do for you?"
34697Suddenly remembering, Joe asked,"Sergeant, can you tell me anything about this Hugo Gearey?"
34697Suppose Ellis married and deserted Barbara?
34697Suppose a man owned everything on his land and the land too?
34697Suppose baby Emma became desperately ill along the way and had only a wagon for shelter?
34697Suppose there was another river that could not be forded, one Gaystell had n''t mentioned?
34697Suppose we had n''t come through?
34697Tad asked eagerly,"Can I take the rifle and go see my buffalo, Pa?"
34697Tad asked too casually,"What''d you find out this morning, Pa?"
34697Tad asked, puzzled,"What are we going to do with it, Pa?"
34697Tad knelt near by, watching and admiring every move, and Joe said patiently,"Move a little away, will you?
34697Tad whispered,"Pa.""Yes?"
34697Tad, walk with me, will you?"
34697The children watched concernedly and Emma asked,"Is she going to die, Joe?"
34697The constable looked annoyed, but started reading,"I hereby restrict and enjoin you, under clause A--""Now is n''t that something?"
34697The day I left Vermont my brother Enos said,''Henry, what are you going to do if Indians attack?''
34697The most a person looking for cattle in the black of night could do was guess, and if the guess went wrong, what then?
34697The obvious answer was that Winterson''s house itself was burning, but why?
34697The reason?
34697The tight pants some of those men got on would n''t last too long if they got off in the brush, huh?
34697Then the silence became awkward and he asked,"Where''s Tad?"
34697Then, turning to Dunbar he said, with strict military formality,"Sergeant Dunbar, may I have five minutes alone with Miss Tower?
34697Then,"Joe?"
34697There was a rising note of alarm in Emma''s voice,"Where are you going?"
34697There was another silence, and Ellis said thoughtfully,"Joe--""Yes?"
34697There was quick impatience in his voice as he repeated her words,"Our own land?
34697They did not know that a blazing fire can be seen a very long way at night, and who could be sure what savage beings prowled this lonely land?
34697They had to have an ax or how would they chop wood?
34697Think I''d of let those kids go if I had?"
34697Think one of us should try slipping out to Camp Axton tonight?"
34697Think you can find the place?"
34697Tower?"
34697Tower?"
34697Tower?"
34697Tower?"
34697Want to ride him?"
34697Want to sell me your standing hay?"
34697Want to work it up for me?"
34697Was Barbara equal to such a trip?
34697Was Laramie a big place?
34697Was Mother worried?"
34697Was he looking for trouble with Ellis, perhaps more than he had any need to?
34697Was it an accidental fire?
34697Was it right to uproot her, to tear her away from everything she knew and loved?
34697Was this the end?
34697We''re taking eggs too, are n''t we?
34697Were the houses good?
34697Were there any white women at Laramie?
34697What about him?"
34697What are we going to do now?
34697What are you goin''to do, Pa?"
34697What are you going to do if Joe sells more wood or the hay?"
34697What are you going to do with it?"
34697What are you going to do with it?"
34697What are your wishes?"
34697What could you do except shoot her?"
34697What did you think we''d do?
34697What do you aim to do about it?"
34697What do you do, Joe?"
34697What do you want to hear?"
34697What if you have to stock up on flour?"
34697What other willful and dishonest actions was he capable of?
34697What was going on inside that lovely young head?
34697What was his Bobby getting into?
34697What were the women wearing?
34697What were you thinking of when you were her age?"
