12236 | Yes,says the landlord"Is your name John or Peter?" |
12236 | A brighter happier look came to them than we had seen, and then they plied us with questions the first of which was:--"Where were you?" |
12236 | Ai n''t he spunky?" |

12236 | The questions that now arose were"How long can we endure this work in this situation? |

12236 | Then the question was, which of the animals shall be sacrificed? |
12236 | Was it the long drive, poison water, or what? |
12236 | Well, what next? |
12236 | What shall we do now? |
12236 | When should we find their remains, and how learn of their sad history if we ourselves should live to get back again to settlements and life? |
12236 | When should we know their fate? |
12236 | Where is it?" |
12236 | Where was the salt to make this mighty brine pond, and why did it keep so when the great rivers kept pouring in their torrents of fresh waters? |
12236 | Who knows? |
12236 | Who shall say the thanks that arose were less acceptable, because not given on bended knees before gilded altars? |
12236 | Will that do?" |
47351 | ''Do you think so, sir?'' 47351 And what books have you read?" |

47351 | And what more, pray, could be done than this to advance the interests of the United States hereabouts? |
47351 | And where were the millions of money, the men, and the arms to come from that should prevent final annihilation? |
47351 | But that was not the vital question; the vital question was, Could it grow? |
47351 | But there was a very important question to be settled immediately; did Kentucky belong to Virginia or was it independent? |

47351 | Could the New Englanders do equally well? |
47351 | Could the new master, this infant Republic,"one nation to- day, thirteen to- morrow,"do better? |

47351 | How free now would they be? |
47351 | If a short road was practicable, why not a long one? |
47351 | In the many expeditions to the westward of the Alleghanies in America what commanders turned their attention later to the regions subdued? |
47351 | Is it not of interest that the famed Cumberland Road was not built to connect two large Eastern cities, or a seaport or river with a city? |

47351 | The question was raised,"Shall we take our prisoners to Pittsburg, or kill them?" |
47351 | Was it to hinder or help the occupation of the land on the part of rival spirits? |
47351 | Was it to strengthen or weaken America''s claim to the empire of Oregon? |
47351 | Were those dreams true? |
47351 | What if other national roads proposed-- through the South and northward from Washington to Buffalo-- should demand equally large sums? |
47351 | What if the fund produced from the sales of land was not sufficient to build the road? |
47351 | What was its political status? |
47351 | Which party would Congress listen to if the public treasury was not in a position to satisfy both applicants? |

47351 | Would he want the other members of the family to emigrate there too? |
47351 | Would he wish to stay in the West? |

29681 | Winter? |
29681 | An''what do you reckon he did?" |
29681 | Anyhow, who''d want to eat a mad bear? |
29681 | At last she spoke:"Is n''t it too bad?" |
29681 | Beneath"What is the first consideration of a guide?" |
29681 | Beneath"What is the second consideration of a guide?" |

29681 | I must have meat-- how about a bear? |
29681 | See that drift down there?" |
29681 | Ten? |
29681 | The lady pointed to the dead trees, wagged her head, and said:"Is n''t it too bad the altitude killed them?" |
29681 | The sudden eerie notes of a coyote caused my hair to lift-- why could n''t the brute respect the silence? |
29681 | Was I not the intruder and he the rightful resident? |
29681 | Was ever another lad so happy? |
29681 | Was ever another mortal so fortunate as I in the realization of his dreams? |

22179 | Why what''s the matter with the west? |
22179 | Why, what''s the matter? |
22179 | A man was asked, why did you return to the west, after having gone back to New York and having spent two years there? |
22179 | An old Indian woman came in and made loud cries of dismay when she saw my wastefulness, saying,"Why did you throw this away?" |
22179 | As he came up he asked,"Young man, do you know of a good piece of land which can be bought?" |

22179 | Was this the first Cataloo? |
22179 | Was this the first flag made in St. Anthony? |
22179 | We said,"Ai n''t you afraid?" |
22179 | Were these not, indeed, children? |
22179 | What could we do? |
22179 | What did we have to eat that first year? |
22179 | What do you women nowadays, with your hospitals and doctors know of a time like this? |
22179 | What is the cure? |
22179 | When my husband saw me going toward the door he said,"What are you going to do?" |
22179 | When ready for a light he walked up alongside of me and said,"Jones, have you got any matches?" |
22179 | Where are all those drivers? |
22179 | Where could I hide? |
22179 | While preparing breakfast she heard one of the gentlemen say--"Hello, little fellow, what are you doing with my toe?" |
22179 | Who by? |
22179 | Why do I think he foresaw all this? |
22179 | Would you want to spend your life where the people twenty feet away do not know your name or care whether you live or die? |
22179 | You go?" |
22179 | You see that road out there? |
22179 | is this Sunday? |
22179 | meaning,"are you afraid?" |
12740 | Are yon firing blank cartridges? |
12740 | Are you a constable? |
12740 | Are you anxious to see a big, fighting general? |
12740 | Can it be possible that you are Cody? |
12740 | Can we have our guns? |
12740 | Do any of you know where the Springs are? |
12740 | Do you hear, Cody? |
12740 | Do you remember,I continued,"the young fellow you caught behind a tree, and sent for him afterward to ask him why he did so?" |
12740 | Do you think you can find Forrest''s army? |
12740 | Does it? |
12740 | Does n''t Buffalo Bill live here? |
12740 | General,I replied,"why not wait until the scouts get a little nearer? |
12740 | How are we going to protect ourselves on the way? |
12740 | How do you know, Billy? |
12740 | How do you know? |
12740 | How far are we from the Springs? |
12740 | How far are we from the Springs? |
12740 | How? |
12740 | I could drive cavayard, could n''t I? |
12740 | If I give you your horse and mule will you proceed at once to Fort Lyon? |
12740 | If I let you go, sir, will you leave the Post at once and not bother anyone at Sheridan? |
12740 | Is that you? |
12740 | Look here, White,I demanded,"what the devil are you following me in this way for?" |
12740 | Look yere, kid,he shouted,"ye see this knife?" |
12740 | McCarthy,said I,"shall we run or fight?" |
12740 | Sakes alive, Massa Bill, am dat you? |
12740 | Six- shooters? |
12740 | Well, I''ve got to make it yet,I said, and then to Rose:"How did the fall hit you?" |
12740 | Well, sir, will you at least promise not to interfere any further with the quartermaster''s agent at Sheridan? |
12740 | Well,said the herd boss,"how do you propose to settle it?" |
12740 | What can you do? |
12740 | What chance is there to trade for him? |
12740 | What does all this''Honorable''mean, General? |
12740 | What does this mean? |
12740 | What fall? |
12740 | What is it? |
12740 | What is it? |
12740 | What is that? |
12740 | What kind of a present? |
12740 | What made this town move away? |
12740 | When will we get to the Springs? |
12740 | Where are we now? |
12740 | Where is your horse? |
12740 | Where''s your command? 12740 Who are you?" |
12740 | Who in thunder are you? |
12740 | Who the dickens is Webb? |
12740 | Who''s there? |
12740 | Why are you away so much? |
12740 | Why do n''t you tell the General that? |
12740 | Why? |
12740 | Yes,admitted Mrs. Cody,"but what has that got to do with it?" |
12740 | Yes,commented Mrs. Cody,"and where is your$ 250,000?" |
12740 | Your orders were to follow me, were n''t they? |
12740 | Can you guide me on that trip?" |
12740 | Finally Bache asked, good- humoredly:"Is this the way you break in all your new lieutenants, Major?" |
12740 | Have we not the same right as the White Man?" |
12740 | How does that suit you?" |
12740 | How does that valley suit you?" |
12740 | I said:"General, do you remember the battle of Tupedo?" |
12740 | If the White Man does not want us to fight, why does he take our land? |
12740 | Lonsdale, approaching and extending his hand, smiled and said:"Ah, Colonel Cody, another one of your Yankee friends, eh?" |
12740 | Massa Bill, does you- all reckon we is ebber gwine to get out o''heah?" |
12740 | The leader of the gang swaggered toward me and inquired menacingly:"Where are you going, young man, and who''s with you?" |
12740 | Then he sang out to me:"Massa Bill, is you got any hahdtack?" |
12740 | What will you take to call it off?" |
12740 | When 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?" |
12740 | Where''s General Penrose?" |
12740 | Who are you, anyway?" |
28572 | Ai n''t you got nobody to take care of you? |
28572 | But 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?" |
28572 | Can any of you tell me how to get to Kendall, Wyoming? |
28572 | Do women_ have_ to change their names when they marry? |
28572 | Frau O''Shaughnessy,she said severely,"what have you here? |
28572 | Haf they run you out of camp, you iss so bad? |
28572 | Have you got your answer? |
28572 | Have you the cloth? |
28572 | How can you know just what to do, and then have the courage to do it? 28572 How did you learn it all?" |
28572 | Is there a Joseph in the family? |
28572 | My_ goodness_,she exclaimed;"is that_ all_?" |
28572 | Then,she said,"which of you are Tea and which Coffee?" |
28572 | What are them fellys pow- wowing about down in the sage? |
28572 | What is the little girl''s name? |
28572 | What is the matter? 28572 What iver is the matter with ye?" |
28572 | What''s your name? |
28572 | Where are your folks? |
28572 | Where is your home, b''y? |
28572 | Where should I be? 28572 Where''d you get that kid? |
28572 | Who says God is not merciful? 28572 Why do n''t you leave this place? |
28572 | Wo n''t you come to bed and rest? |
28572 | You write her once in a while, do n''t you? |
28572 | _ What_ chased you? |
28572 | A 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? |
28572 | And what have you been doing to him, anyway?" |
28572 | And_ you_, best of friends, when shall I see your beloved face? |
28572 | Are me children covered and warm?" |
28572 | Are you hurt? |
28572 | As soon as he saw Elizabeth he sprang from his saddle and said,"''Liz''beth,''Liz''beth, what you doin''here?" |
28572 | As we were starting Mr. Stewart asked the game- warden,"Can you tell me if Wallace White is still stationed here?" |
28572 | DEAR, DEAR FRIEND,-- Can you guess how happy I am? |
28572 | Did I tell you we left Junior with his grandmother? |
28572 | Did you ever see the kind of freight outfit that is used to bring the great loads across the desert? |
28572 | Did you notice the freckles of her? |
28572 | Do you like to live that way?" |
28572 | Do you mind any good lesson that she taught us in the cabin beyont?" |
28572 | Haf you any goose- grease left?" |
28572 | Has my trip interested you, dear friend? |
28572 | Have you not seen their bones every mile or so along this road? |
28572 | How haf you come by these?" |
28572 | I do n''t need to tell you of the"good mon,"do I? |
28572 | If he is dead, may I stay on with one of you and perhaps get a school? |
28572 | Iss it to freeze? |
28572 | Now ai n''t that fine? |
28572 | Now who is the seventh man?" |
28572 | Stewart?" |
28572 | Suddenly she leaned over toward them and said:"Will ye tell me something?" |
28572 | Then I asked,"Why did n''t you ask about him at Pinedale or any of these places we have passed? |
28572 | They 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?'' |
28572 | This does n''t seem much like a letter, does it? |
28572 | Vat? |
28572 | What do you think about it?" |
28572 | What is your name?" |
28572 | What of it? |
28572 | What''s the b''y''s name?" |
28572 | When he did come, he was excited; he laid a picture on the table and said,"Do any of you recognize this?" |
28572 | When they got two dollars''worth sold, the blueing company would send them a big doll; so, please, would we buy a lot? |
28572 | When you people come back will you stop and ask for the mail for me?" |
28572 | Where do you live?" |
28572 | Where were you, Stewart, during the storm?" |
28572 | Where will they bury him?" |
28572 | Why did n''t you shoot?" |
28572 | Why not go away somewhere else, where it will not be so hard to start?" |
28572 | Why?" |
16623 | But,I asked,"is n''t that consecrated hay?--isn''t it tithing?" |
16623 | Can you tell me where Mrs. Belle B---- lives? |
16623 | Confound your fool tongues, how they goin''to know there''s any women here? 16623 Do n''t you ever sell any of your sheep?" |
16623 | Do n''t you ever write? |
16623 | Do you expect to go to heaven, and do you think the man who married you and then discarded you will go to heaven too? |
16623 | Goin''up to the house? 16623 Have you any objections?" |
16623 | How iss it,he demanded,"dat you haf not so much sense as you haf tongue? |
16623 | Is that you, Mat? 16623 Just how is she related to you?" |
16623 | Listen to her now, will you? |
16623 | Mamma,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?" |
16623 | Mamma,she said,"did God really make the baby?" |
16623 | Now, tell me,he asked, as he fastened the canvas to a wheel,"did n''t you think I was an old devil at first?" |
16623 | Then she is your wife, is she not? |
16623 | Then,said Mrs. O''Shaughnessy,"whose children are these?" |
16623 | This is the 7 Up,--Louderer''s,the boss called back;"what''s wanted?" |
16623 | Wall,he said,"air you spying around arter that gold mine I diskivered over on the west side of Baldy?" |
16623 | Well,I asked,"where_ can_ I go?" |
16623 | Well,he continued,"what does he mean by letting you gad about in such onconsequential style?" |
16623 | Well? |
16623 | What in the world is the matter with you? |
16623 | What is your name? |
16623 | What the deuce was you fellers kicking up such a rumpus fer last night? |
16623 | What''s the matter with your shirt, it''s soaked with blood? |
16623 | Which Stewart? |
16623 | Who is their father? |
16623 | Who tell it ye? |
16623 | Who''s in the wickiup? |
16623 | Why,he asked,"do New Yorkers always say_ State_?" |
16623 | You blamed blockhead, do n''t you know? |
16623 | You 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"? |
16623 | And how iss it that we haf come de camp by und so starved as we iss hungry, and no cook und no food? |
16623 | And then indignantly,"How many cackle- berries does you want? |
16623 | As I rode up, he said,"Whither, friend?" |
16623 | Ca n''t yez tell it be me Cockney accint?" |
16623 | Could more be asked of any man? |
16623 | Did you ever eat pork and beans heated in a frying- pan on a camp- fire for breakfast? |
16623 | Do n''t you believe that? |
16623 | Do n''t you know she was a dainty bride? |
16623 | Do you remember, I wrote you of a little baby boy dying? |
16623 | Do you wonder I am so happy? |
16623 | Hey?" |
16623 | Is it too late? |
16623 | Is 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? |
16623 | Is n''t that a sweet picture? |
16623 | Iss dat for why you iss paid?" |
16623 | It is strange, is n''t it? |
16623 | My house faces east and is built up against a side- hill, or should I say hillside? |
16623 | No? |
16623 | Now would n''t that little speech have made her welcome anywhere? |
16623 | Rather a dismal prospect, was n''t it? |
16623 | Shall I send them to you? |
16623 | She hobbled to the door and pounded with her poor twisted hands, calling all the while,"Cory, Cory Belle, what ails you?" |
16623 | Soon he asked,"Are you goin''somewheres or jist travelin''?" |
16623 | The 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? |
16623 | Then he asked,"Air you spying around for one of them dinged game wardens arter that deer I killed yisteddy?" |
16623 | They suspected us of laughing at them, for Archie said to Aggie,"Aggie, lass, is it sport they are making of our love?" |
16623 | What d''e want to make it any worse for?" |
16623 | What do you think of us? |
16623 | What is the use of giving us a half- finished baby? |
16623 | What the deuce makes him sing so much? |
16623 | What the''ell would you do with a woman in the''ouse if you could n''t corner''er? |
16623 | When we went to the house Mr. Stewart said,"Weel, when are you douchy bairns gangin''to the kirk?" |
16623 | Who wants to stand among these smelly cows all day?" |
16623 | Whose outfit is this?" |
16623 | Whose woman are you?" |
16623 | Winters, have you met Miss Em''ly? |
16623 | Wo n''t you make it easy to"''fess"so I may be happy again? |
16623 | You''d think I wanted you to homestead, would n''t you? |
16623 | he persisted,--"C.R., S.W., or H.C.?" |
16623 | he said;"are you goin''to camp here?" |
10030 | All right,said I as I took them,"but where will I meet you again?" |
10030 | And what do you propose to do with us now? |
10030 | Are you going to turn us adrift here? |
10030 | Are you the lad who is going to drive to- day? |
10030 | Blarst your heyes, driver, why do n''t you let them go? |
10030 | Captain, what does this mean? |
10030 | Do you expect to catch those buffaloes on that Gothic steed? |
10030 | Does it? |
10030 | General, how about this mule, anyhow? |
10030 | Good enough, Bill; you shall have the horse; but are you sure you can find your way on such a dark night as this? |
10030 | How did you surprise my camp without a struggle? 10030 How is this?" |
10030 | How long will it take you to commit your part to memory, Bill? |
10030 | How many of you are there? |
10030 | How much are the costs? |
10030 | I ca n''t allow any such business as this, Cody,said he,"what do you mean by it?" |
10030 | I thought you promised to come into the Opera House by the private entrance? |
10030 | If I give you the horse and mule will you proceed at once to Fort Lyon? |
10030 | McCarthy, shall we dismount and fight, or run? |
10030 | Mr. Willis, there comes old Gobel, with Frank and somebody else, and they are after me-- what am I going to do? |
10030 | On foot? |
10030 | Wa- 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?" |
10030 | Well, old boy, you''re alive, are you? |
10030 | Well, sir, what are you going to do about it? |
10030 | Well, sir; will you at least agree not to interfere any further with the quartermaster''s agent at Sheridan? |
10030 | What are you doing out here? |
10030 | What chance is there to trade for him? |
10030 | What does it mean? |
10030 | What is your business here to- day? |
10030 | What the deuce do you mean? 10030 What''s the matter?" |
10030 | Where are you going, young man; and who''s with you? |
10030 | Where is the black abolition jay- hawker? |
10030 | Where''s your command? 10030 Where''s your horse?" |
10030 | Who fired that shot? |
10030 | Why, did we not give them to you-- did you not bring them to camp in the ambulance? |
10030 | After they had disarmed us, Simpson asked,"Well, Smith, what are you going to do with us?" |
10030 | And where is the satisfaction, And how will the boys get square? |
10030 | Bob would occasionally look down from his seat, and, seeing their frightened faces, would ask,"Well, how do you like staging in this country now?" |
10030 | Buntline now came into the room and said:"Boys, how are you getting along?" |
10030 | Buntline, whose ire was rising, said to Nixon:"What rent will you ask for your theater for next week?" |
10030 | By giving the reds more rifles? |
10030 | Did I hear the news from Custer? |
10030 | Do I hear any man who wants to come agin me on them yer terms?" |
10030 | Finally Bache said, good- humoredly:"Is this the way you break in all your Lieutenants, Major?" |
10030 | Have you got your company yet?" |
10030 | He looked up as I entered, and startled me by saying:"You little rascal, what are you doing in those''secesh''clothes?" |
10030 | He said-- as if it were in the play:"Where have you been, Bill? |
10030 | How does that beautiful spot down in the valley suit you?" |
10030 | How does that suit you?" |
10030 | How long will it take you?" |
10030 | I asked;"What are they saying? |
10030 | I exclaimed;"did n''t we spend any money on grub at all?" |
10030 | I 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?" |
10030 | I suppose you''re pretty tired after your long journey?" |
10030 | I was ushered into the General''s presence, and as we had met before he recognized me and said:"Hello, Cody, is that you?" |
10030 | Invite them to take more hair? |
10030 | Massa Bill, am dat you?" |
10030 | My father, in the course of the conversation with her, said:"Do you know Elijah Cody?" |
10030 | Opening a window, she coolly sang out, in a firm tone of voice:"Who are you? |
10030 | Simpson?" |
10030 | The next day we met him by appointment, and the first thing he said, was:"Boys, are you ready for business?" |
10030 | The officer then called up another policeman, and Bill again asked:"How many of you are there now?" |
10030 | The wagon train was a mile in the rear, and when it came up, one of the drivers asked:"How are we going down there?" |
10030 | Then 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?" |
10030 | Then he sang out,"Massa Bill, is you got any hawd tack?" |
10030 | Then there seemed to follow a kind of hurried whispering-- a sort of consultation-- and then some one called out:"Who''s there?" |
10030 | They were asked:"Do you know who this man is?" |
10030 | What do you want here?" |
10030 | What for? |
10030 | What has kept you so long?" |
10030 | What is his name?" |
10030 | What the mischief do you mean by the cue? |
10030 | Where is the animal?" |
10030 | Where''s General Penrose?" |
10030 | Who are you?" |
10030 | Who under the sun are you, anyhow?" |
10030 | Would n''t you like to have a partner in your enterprise?" |
10030 | are you the boy that was riding there, and was called the youngest rider on the road?" |
10030 | the leader of the Danites?" |
21449 | An''what if I am the only person? 21449 And they are loving and cherishing my Lily?" |
21449 | And when is the attack to be made? |
21449 | And who is your father, master cock- a- hoop? |
21449 | And your uncle''s surname? |
21449 | Are you in earnest, Mr McDermont? |
21449 | Are you my Uncle Michael? |
21449 | Are you speaking the truth? |
21449 | Are you the only person in the house? |
21449 | But mother, where is mother? |
21449 | But, Massa Mike, we try and keep togedder, wo n''t we? |
21449 | Can those be Indians? |
21449 | Can you afford us shelter for the night, friend? |
21449 | Can you go on, Mike? |
21449 | Can you guide us to the nearest house where we can obtain what we require? |
21449 | Do you hope ever to tame it, Uncle Denis? |
21449 | Do you speak of Silas Bracher? |
21449 | Had we not better stop? |
21449 | Have I been long here? |
21449 | Have you found mother? 21449 I ask you, once more, have you got the slave, and if you have, will you give him up?" |
21449 | I hope you are satisfied with Swampyville? |
21449 | I''m very glad that they did find you, Dio; but how did you happen to be in such a condition? |
21449 | Indeed I am, why should I do otherwise? |
21449 | Mike, does it strike you that the water has risen higher than it was when we first encamped? 21449 Of what wonder do you speak?" |
21449 | Oh, Patrick, must you positively cross that wide extent of water? |
21449 | Oh, suppose a bear and her cubs are hid away anywhere, what shall we do? |
21449 | Probably,observed Mr Tidey;"but what were your orders, should you fail to recover the black? |
21449 | Then perhaps you will say why you come to pay me a visit? |
21449 | Then you do n''t deny having harboured the slave we are in search of? |
21449 | There must be a fire somewhere near the shore,I whispered,"people are encamped there, depend upon it; how shall we proceed?" |
21449 | Very good possibly, but where are we to find a market for our produce? 21449 Victory, victory?" |
21449 | Wha''r Massa Denis? |
21449 | What are these funny creatures, I wonder? |
21449 | What are we to do with Rose? |
21449 | What brings you here? |
21449 | What can have become of the rascals? |
21449 | What do you advise then? |
21449 | What do you say, Tidey? 21449 What has happened up at the farm, Mike?" |
21449 | What has happened, Dio? |
21449 | What has happened, Mr Tidey? |
21449 | What have you got there? |
21449 | What you say, you boys? |
21449 | What''s the matter? |
21449 | What''s your name, my good fellow? |
21449 | Where are the saddle- bags? |
21449 | Where are they? |
21449 | Where can that come from? |
21449 | Where were you wanting to go, my poor fellow? |
21449 | Whereabouts is it? |
21449 | Who are you, villains, who dare thus attack a free and independent citizen? |
21449 | Who dare? |
21449 | Who dare? |
21449 | Who dares thus attack my house? |
21449 | Who knocks? |
21449 | Who you strangers, whar you come from? |
21449 | Why did you come here? |
21449 | Will you take five hundred dollars for the boy? |
21449 | You no gib up de poor slave to his hard massa? |
21449 | Young man,he said at length,"what is your name?" |
21449 | At 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?" |
21449 | Did she survive? |
21449 | Do let me go?" |
21449 | Do n''t you remember me?" |
21449 | Do you think you could sit on my horse, while we gallop over the ground?" |
21449 | Do you understand my object?" |
21449 | Hurrah, hurrah?" |
21449 | I ask you whether or not you have a negro boy anywhere about your premises? |
21449 | I say, youngsters, who is your father? |
21449 | It will then be asked, how can a bird get in? |
21449 | Mr Tidey, has poor Dio been retaken?" |
21449 | My first impulse was to fly and try to escape, but in what direction should we go? |
21449 | One 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? |
21449 | Was this valley to be our home, or were we to cross the second range, into a still more fertile region? |
21449 | We did it well, did n''t we, Master Mike?" |
21449 | Wha''r is he?" |
21449 | What say you now to twenty thousand dollars? |
21449 | What should we do? |
21449 | Where is she?" |
21449 | Will you accompany me, and try to bury them decently? |
21449 | You understand me, Dio? |
21449 | You will not let him escape?" |
21449 | You will promise me?" |
21449 | asked my father;"has poor Dio been recaptured?" |
21449 | can anything have happened to dem?" |
21449 | dat is Rose?" |
21449 | dis niggar Dio know you; nebber forget you, massa; you remember de poor slave niggar who pulled de little boy out of de water?" |
21449 | exclaimed Dio;"what she want?" |
21449 | exclaimed Peter,"is dat you?" |
21449 | is she coming back to Lily soon?" |
21449 | my young cock sparrow, to whom do you belong?" |
21449 | now, ye coward, would ye be afther usin''your knife on a woman?" |
21449 | shall we have to cross all those mountains?" |
21449 | what is that among the bushes? |
21449 | you seen dem? |
21449 | youngsters, have you seen a nigger- boy running in this direction?" |
1248 | And he was captured? |
1248 | And if I did, what then? |
1248 | And what is your name? |
1248 | Are you a Confederate soldier? |
1248 | Are you a soldier? |
1248 | Are you sure you know the way? |
1248 | But suppose,said one of the party,"that you were in the valley behind one of the foothills-- what then?" |
1248 | Can you push along a little faster, General? |
1248 | Colonel, shall we stretch the full canvas? |
1248 | Did n''t you know we were coming? |
1248 | Did n''t you know,cried Will,"that my continued absence meant danger in the air? |
1248 | Did that rascal, C----, have anything to do with her death? |
1248 | Did they rob you? |
1248 | Did 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?" |
1248 | Do you think, Cody, that mule can set the pace to reach Larned in a day? |
1248 | Does it? |
1248 | Going to change your colors, eh? |
1248 | Hain''t you the boy rider I has heard of-- the youngest rider on the trail? |
1248 | Has n''t Will Goodman been here? |
1248 | How could that old fortune- teller know what I''m going to be? |
1248 | How could ze presiman won a show? |
1248 | How is that, Lew-- poisoned? |
1248 | How old be you? |
1248 | How? 1248 How?" |
1248 | My what? |
1248 | Now, I''d look pretty in a novel, would n''t I? |
1248 | Oh, Will, how could you do such a thing? |
1248 | Oh, are you the boy rider that was on Chrisman''s division? |
1248 | Puzzled by the apparently unfamiliar name, I asked:''Pardon me, but whom did you say?'' |
1248 | Religious parents, I suppose? |
1248 | Speedy? 1248 The king? |
1248 | The 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?" |
1248 | Well, sir,said he,"what do you want with me?" |
1248 | Well, then, why am I such a conspicuous object? |
1248 | Well, what do you want? |
1248 | Were there horses to meet them? |
1248 | What Thompson? |
1248 | What can a boy of your age do? |
1248 | What is the matter? |
1248 | What is your denomination? |
1248 | What kind of dog do you call him? |
1248 | What''s that? |
1248 | What''s the matter with you? |
1248 | What, again? |
1248 | When will you set out? |
1248 | Where did they hold you up? |
1248 | Where were you born? |
1248 | Where''s Cody? |
1248 | Where''s your strong- box? |
1248 | Who are you? |
1248 | Who''s there? 1248 Who''s there?" |
1248 | Who''s with you? |
1248 | Why did n''t you shoot that first deer; did you have another attack like you had when you were a little boy? |
1248 | Why, sir, are you not the king? |
1248 | Why,said Will, innocently,"are buffaloes pretty speedy?" |
1248 | Will you oblige me by tying your friend''s hands? 1248 Will you send a couple of wagons along to fetch in the meat?" |
1248 | Will, what was the matter with you just now? |
1248 | You do n''t think of going buffalo- hunting without Will, do you? |
1248 | Your denomination? |
1248 | Ai n''t it, mother?" |
1248 | As he neared the steamer he called out,"Where is that Kansas Jayhawker? |
1248 | Can I say a few words of welcome? |
1248 | Did General Hazen say the cattle were for them? |
1248 | Did he desire that the chief''s young men should accompany him? |
1248 | Do n''t he have to be?" |
1248 | Do you know what these papers contain?" |
1248 | Do you want the job?" |
1248 | Does their Great Spirit tell them to do this? |
1248 | Early in the course of the conversation he asked:"''Madame, you haf undoubted been to see ze gr- rand Bouf- falo Beel?'' |
1248 | Had Phillips lost his way? |
1248 | Had he failed to locate the snow- covered dugout? |
1248 | Had he fallen victim to Indians? |
1248 | Had he perished in the storm? |
1248 | Had the rear train been overcome by a larger band of savages? |
1248 | Have I spoken truly the words of the white man''s Book?" |
1248 | He 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?" |
1248 | How could a man ride alone into such a gloomy, terror- haunted domain? |
1248 | How?" |
1248 | I guess you do n''t know what horse you are riding, do you? |
1248 | It was late in the afternoon when we reached the ranch; and the greeting of the overseer was:"Well, well; what''s all this?" |
1248 | Nat''s face paled as he asked,"Do you think I''m a spy, Billy?" |
1248 | Only a dog, do you say? |
1248 | Silence-- followed by a hurried whispering, and the demand:"Who''s there?" |
1248 | So he asked carelessly:"What have you been about lately, Bill?" |
1248 | Stopping 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?" |
1248 | Suppose I make the trip, get a team for our wagon, and come back for you?" |
1248 | That all? |
1248 | That heartened us, babes as we were, for was not our brother our reliance in every emergency? |
1248 | The next question was, were there soldiers with the cattle? |
1248 | The teamster replied:"Guying that horse? |
1248 | Thus 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?" |
1248 | Was it, then, strange that mother looked with unusual hope upon her second son? |
1248 | Was that his name? |
1248 | Was there a chance that the scout was mistaken? |
1248 | We dressed the wound, and thought little of it, until some horsemen rode up, with the inquiry,"Have you seen a dog pass here?" |
1248 | What did you enlist on the wrong side for, anyway?" |
1248 | What more could you desire?" |
1248 | What should I do? |
1248 | Where were the cattle? |
1248 | Who are you, anyway?" |
1248 | Who goes there?" |
1248 | Why did you take me for the king?" |
1248 | Will it be frank and hearty, or reserved and doubtful? |
1248 | Will returned from his scouting trip shortly after the departure of the hunting party, and his first query was:"Is Nellie here?" |
1248 | Without a trace of"buck fever,"Will jumped up, rifle in hand, and demanded:"Here, what are you doing with my horse?" |
1248 | Would Will drive the cattle to them? |
1248 | Would he trust Will for a load of supplies? |
1248 | Would the gallant beast, wounded as he was, be able to long maintain the fierce pace he had set? |
1248 | Yankee- like, the reply was another question:"You sent a man named Nat Golden into the Union lines, did you not, sir?" |
1248 | and what do you want?" |
1248 | was the first query; and this answered, with sundry other information esteemed essential,"Where''s your horse?" |
2057 | Any cougar signs back in the breaks? |
2057 | Are we going across in that? |
2057 | Are you the musk- ox hunter? |
2057 | Can you hold the dogs, one by one, while muzzle them? |
2057 | Comanches? |
2057 | Considering what appears the impossibility of capturing a full- grown buffalo, how did you earn the name of preserver of the American bison? |
2057 | Did n''t find it, did you? |
2057 | Did n''t you attempt to rescue them? |
2057 | Did we get to see him? |
2057 | Did yu acktully tech the hair of thet mustang with a rope? |
2057 | Did yu fellars git to see him? |
2057 | Do n''t you smell the cat? |
2057 | Do the horses stray far when they are hobbled? |
2057 | Do you see those white sand dunes there, more to the left? |
2057 | Does n''t look bad, eh? |
2057 | Ever get a rope near him? |
2057 | Gone? |
2057 | Have you any shots left for the 45- 90, besides what''s in the magazine? |
2057 | How about your other man-- Mr. Wallace, I think you said? |
2057 | How can you ford this stream with horses? |
2057 | How could a man have the strength and the nerve? 2057 How could paint of any kind last so long? |
2057 | How many wild horses on the mountain now? |
2057 | How many years? |
2057 | How on earth did he get rid of the cougar? |
2057 | How''d you like being hog- tied? |
2057 | How''s the hound you and Jim fetched in las''year? 2057 How''s this? |
2057 | I? 2057 If Wallace went over the second rim wall, will he get back to- day?" |
2057 | Is it possible? |
2057 | Is n''t the river high now? |
2057 | Is this the cougar country the Stewarts talked about? |
2057 | Kill one of my calves? 2057 Kill one of our calves?" |
2057 | Now, I wonder what kind of a prehistoric animal holed in here? |
2057 | Now, how''d that tomb ever get there? 2057 Now, look at that, will you?" |
2057 | Now, what''s that? |
2057 | Of course you can ride? |
2057 | See him? 2057 Seen anythin''of the White Mustang?" |
2057 | Shall I kill a calf? |
2057 | Somethin''s comin''off, eh? 2057 Water must be somewhere; but can that be it? |
2057 | What for? |
2057 | What in thunder did Frank give you that white nag for? 2057 What is it?" |
2057 | What size shot do you use? |
2057 | What''s all the row? |
2057 | What''s in this butter? |
2057 | What''s it mean? |
2057 | What''s that for? |
2057 | What''s this? |
2057 | What''s up? |
2057 | What''s your plan? |
2057 | Where are the wolves? |
2057 | Where was everybody? 2057 Where were-- you-- all?" |
2057 | Where you oozin''for now? |
2057 | Where''s Jim''s old cayuse, the pack- horse? |
2057 | Where''s Moze? |
2057 | Who''ll stop me? |
2057 | Why not, I''d like to know? |
2057 | Why the hell did n''t you tell a feller? |
2057 | Will he be able to stand it? |
2057 | Would we have any chance to see this White Mustang and his band? |
2057 | Would you like to trade? |
2057 | You can not accept the theory of erosion to account for this chasm? |
2057 | You''ve had bad accidents here? |
2057 | Ai n''t thet so, Jim?" |
2057 | And is n''t it cruel to keep wild animals in captivity? |
2057 | But where were the dogs? |
2057 | Come here, Bowser-- what''s his name?" |
2057 | Could the pup have taken one?" |
2057 | Did Adams and I hire to cross the Staked Plains? |
2057 | Did n''t I say the white wolves was hell? |
2057 | Did you ever see the like of that?" |
2057 | Do you hear thet rumble? |
2057 | Do you imagine I''d quit? |
2057 | Do you suppose those wolves could have gotten a buffalo calf out from under the mother? |
2057 | Had the silent plainsman ever told a complete and full story of his adventures? |
2057 | Has he got a good nose? |
2057 | Have I been dreaming of musk- oxen for forty years, to slink south now, when I begin to feel the north? |
2057 | Have I failed to hire man after man, Indian after Indian, not to know why I can not get a helper? |
2057 | Have I, a plainsman, come a thousand miles alone to be scared by you, or a lot of craven Indians? |
2057 | He wagged his tail, and flopped down to pant and pant, as if to say:"What''s wrong with you guys?" |
2057 | How about cougar sign on the mountain?" |
2057 | How did the river cut through that without the help of a split or earthquake?" |
2057 | How did they come on a slope where a man could hardly walk? |
2057 | How far does it look to you?" |
2057 | How many reindeer?" |
2057 | How many-- did you find?" |
2057 | Hurt?" |
2057 | If so, did it dam the river back into another inland sea, and then wear down into that red perpendicular gorge we remember so well? |
2057 | If that was true, what, then, could be the name of the canyon at my feet? |
2057 | If we rounded up a grizzly, got him cornered, and threw a rope on him-- there''d be some fun, eh, Jim?" |
2057 | Jones grabbed my hand and cried out with a voice that was new to me:"You can eat? |
2057 | Look at it, will you?" |
2057 | Never thought of how you fooled me, did you? |
2057 | Now, 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?" |
2057 | ON TO THE SIWASH"Who all was doin''the talkin''last night?" |
2057 | Or was there a great break in the fold of granite, which let the river continue on its way? |
2057 | Or was there, at that particular point, a softer stone, like this limestone here, which erodes easily?" |
2057 | Rea had ceased his"Jackoway out of wood,"for a reiterated question:"Where are the wolves?" |
2057 | See them marks? |
2057 | Should he stay with his prize to save it, or leave it to be devoured? |
2057 | THE TRAIL"Frank, what''ll we do about horses?" |
2057 | Then he turned to me:"Are you to be depended on here?" |
2057 | Well, why should n''t they be? |
2057 | Were there such things as canyon mirages? |
2057 | What are years?" |
2057 | What could it mean? |
2057 | What do you mean chasing off that way? |
2057 | What do you think of thet? |
2057 | What do you want me to do?" |
2057 | What does it mean?" |
2057 | What was wrong with Sounder?" |
2057 | Where are the wolves?" |
2057 | Where''s Sounder? |
2057 | Who''s to tell his mother?" |
2057 | Why did n''t you call me?" |
2057 | Why do n''t you kill the butcher?" |
2057 | Why? |
2057 | Wonder what thet means?" |
2057 | You''ll get over it?" |
2057 | You''re better? |
2057 | how is it with you?" |
2057 | it against God''s word?" |
2057 | they 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? |
2057 | understand?" |
2057 | where are the wolves?" |
2057 | yelled Jones"What''s Sounder got? |
31801 | A fawn? 31801 A fawn?" |
31801 | A food riot? 31801 And how did you know that I speak French?" |
31801 | And how do_ you_ know that I am French? |
31801 | And to- morrow-- and yet next day? |
31801 | And what does the great Earl of Loudon? 31801 And what of the torture, the knife, the fagot?" |
31801 | And where is he now? |
31801 | But do we really expect it? 31801 But how can we help it?" |
31801 | But if a wolf licks your hand, sir, would you pat him on the head? |
31801 | Child,said Mrs. Halsing, solemnly,"why did you ever come to the frontier?" |
31801 | Dispatches? |
31801 | Do you consider yourself so free, then? 31801 Have the French armed no Indian allies? |
31801 | Him? |
31801 | How can I sleep,--with this sense of responsibility? |
31801 | If we do not keep our word, how can we expect Oconostota to keep his word? |
31801 | In what capacity? |
31801 | John Stuart,he said,"have I not called you my friend? |
31801 | Known what better? |
31801 | May I tell my husband? |
31801 | Must 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?" |
31801 | O''Flynn,he said,"do you deem this a fitting time to set the example of broils between the settlers and soldiers? |
31801 | Parlez vous? 31801 The tinder- box-- the flint-- where are they? |
31801 | The white captain calls on his friends-- and where are they? 31801 Was there a demonstration of the Indians last night, Captain?" |
31801 | What do you think of them? |
31801 | What do-- Choté-- old town? |
31801 | What message did he send? |
31801 | What prisoners? |
31801 | What was I to do, Odalie? |
31801 | What''s your name, my lad? |
31801 | What? |
31801 | Where go? |
31801 | Where is Sandy? 31801 Where, Fifine, where?" |
31801 | Where, Fifine? 31801 Where, Josephine? |
31801 | Where? 31801 Where?" |
31801 | Why could n''t they have brought some conveniences, such as knives and forks and cups and platters, instead of fool trifles? |
31801 | Why do n''t you say that in French, Odalie? |
31801 | Why preëmpt ill- fortune for them, John? |
31801 | Why should you care? |
31801 | Without seeing Sandy and Odalie? |
31801 | Would he allow you to risk yourself? |
31801 | You call on your friend-- where? |
31801 | You will go back to Colonel Montgomery at Fort Prince George with dispatches? |
31801 | You 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? |
31801 | At the stockade? |
31801 | Besides, would they let you risk it again, even for them?" |
31801 | But even at the best could such an expedition reach them in time? |
31801 | Can not you strike a spark?" |
31801 | Did he fear treachery? |
31801 | Did they not do it first?" |
31801 | Did 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? |
31801 | Do you call it freedom-- in the holy_ bonds_ of matrimony? |
31801 | Does this fidelity so clothe your body that it will not burn and crisp and crinkle in the anguish as of your hell? |
31801 | Flanzy?" |
31801 | For was not Montgomery instructed to offer them terms on_ his_ account only? |
31801 | Had he grounds to suspect any renewal of the English occupancy? |
31801 | Had he knowledge of forces now on the march in the expectation of raising the siege of Fort Loudon? |
31801 | Had his friend, his brother, deserved this? |
31801 | Have I not given all I possess of wealth to save your life? |
31801 | Have they broken into the smoke- house?" |
31801 | Have we any guarantee?" |
31801 | He gobbled a brisk and agitated imitation of the cry of the fowl, and then broke off to exclaim,"_ Quelle barbarie!_--eh, Odalie?" |
31801 | How could the bough stir? |
31801 | How 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? |
31801 | MacLeod?" |
31801 | MacLeod?" |
31801 | Now do n''t ye know such wiles as he hev got for them must be deceit?" |
31801 | Odalie, trying to seem interested, demanded, lifting her eyes,"And what do women follow?" |
31801 | Some hole?" |
31801 | The men who had sung in the Christmas carols remembered old English ditties,--"How now, shepherd, what means that, Why that willow in thy hat?" |
31801 | Then exclaimed--"_Oh_, is n''t it droll, Fifine?" |
31801 | To make our fate certain? |
31801 | To see the fellows salaaming to the very ground as I came across the parade!--what are you doing to my frock, Captain Demeré?" |
31801 | Was he some slight thing,--_seequa, cheefto_, an opossum, a rabbit? |
31801 | Was_ Sekakee_ hungry? |
31801 | Were the Rush people poor and oppressed in Carolina? |
31801 | What more fearful? |
31801 | What more fearful?" |
31801 | What more fearful?"] |
31801 | What more wonderful? |
31801 | What need had the Tennessee Warrior for diplomacy? |
31801 | When?" |
31801 | Where did you see Willinawaugh?" |
31801 | Where is Odalie?" |
31801 | Will you volunteer?" |
31801 | Will your oath restore sight to your eyes when a red- hot iron has seared them?" |
31801 | Would the great chief, whose words in whatever language were of paramount importance, accept a money price? |
31801 | Ye 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? |

22496 | Ai n''t the boy going with me? |
22496 | All the new fashions, my dear Emma? |
22496 | And do you think that I am not, my dear mother? 22496 And he said, What shall I do? |
22496 | And old Malachi and John, where are they? |
22496 | And our prisoners, what shall we do with them? |
22496 | And the wounded Indians? |
22496 | And what did they do, Malachi? |
22496 | And what is that, Mary? |
22496 | And what is that? |
22496 | And what presents could he make? |
22496 | And when are we to learn, Mary? |
22496 | And where''s Malachi? |
22496 | And who was that, Martin? |
22496 | And why not Henry, Emma? |
22496 | And will my niece have to walk all the way? |
22496 | And will the Angry Snake bring back the white boy if the white man gives him powder, and lead, and rifles? |
22496 | And you have been a hunter all your life? |
22496 | And you, my girls? |
22496 | Are all who came here with him now in the white man''s lodge? |
22496 | Are there any other animals there? |
22496 | Are there any other animals to fear? |
22496 | Are they dangerous animals, Martin? |
22496 | Are things so very bad? |
22496 | Are you in earnest, Martin? |
22496 | Are you much hurt, Martin? |
22496 | Are you much hurt, sir? |
22496 | But do you not pray when you are alone? |
22496 | But do your father and mother know that you come? |
22496 | But does he live comfortably, ma''am? |
22496 | But even if we have fodder enough for them during the winter what are we to do with them? |
22496 | But he has a wife, Martin, has he not? |
22496 | But how many of them do you reckon are at the work? |
22496 | But how-- when did you leave home? |
22496 | But if I am willing to remain with you here to share your fortunes, will not that satisfy you? |
22496 | But 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? |
22496 | But is he not too young to be trusted with a gun, uncle? |
22496 | But is he so very old, do you really think, Martin? |
22496 | But still, papa, you would be very glad if circumstances would permit us to return to England; would you not? |
22496 | But 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?" |
22496 | But the raising of the dam is only preparatory, is it not, to their building their own houses? |
22496 | But what are you going to do, Alfred? |
22496 | But what cause could he have? |
22496 | But what do you do all the summer time, Malachi? |
22496 | But what do you think they would do, Malachi? |
22496 | But what does he do there, Martin? |
22496 | But what fashion is that, Malachi? |
22496 | But what have we to fear from him? |
22496 | But what is that? |
22496 | But what was the trap? |
22496 | But what will become of the women? |
22496 | But who is to marry them? |
22496 | But why did you kill the men? |
22496 | But why do you wish to find out her tribe? |
22496 | But why should we drive him away from his property any more than we leave our own? |
22496 | But will it be safe to turn the cows into the bush? |
22496 | But would it not be better to put it by until he had sufficient to buy a farm, and live comfortably? |
22496 | But, why should he not like company? 22496 But, will they not attack him before they attack us?" |
22496 | By goods, I suppose you mean us about you? |
22496 | By the by, Mr. Campbell, where have you built your pig- sties? |
22496 | By the by, how much have you got, Malachi? |
22496 | Captain Wilson,said Percival, whose eyes were fixed on the water,"what animals are those, tumbling about and blowing,--those great white things?" |
22496 | Certainly; is it from her? |
22496 | Did John shoot that deer? |
22496 | Did not the little bird lie to the Young Otter? |
22496 | Did you send your skins down to Montreal by the_ bateaux_? |
22496 | Do you know the part of the country where we are going to? |
22496 | Do you remember two winters back our picking up the Indian woman, and carrying her to the house, and your father curing her sprained ankle? |
22496 | Do you see the punt on the beach, Emma? |
22496 | Do you tap the trees every year? |
22496 | Do you think he is, Martin? |
22496 | Do you think that my poor boy is lost, Malachi? |
22496 | Do you think there is any danger, Martin, from this fire? |
22496 | Do 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?" |
22496 | Does not the cold kill the white man? |
22496 | Emma, how can you talk such nonsense? |
22496 | Exactly, sir; now, do you know whom it comes from? |
22496 | Exactly,replied Malachi;"and what''s the use of money if you keep it? |
22496 | Has my father talked to the white man? |
22496 | Has the white man many in his lodge? |
22496 | Have you any idea how far that may be? |
22496 | Have you any idea what tribe she is of, Martin? |
22496 | Have you any meat? |
22496 | Have you ever shot any? |
22496 | Have you money, Alfred? |
22496 | He has powder, and lead, and rifles, and tobacco; will such presents please the Angry Snake? |
22496 | He 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?" |
22496 | How can I name a price? 22496 How do you account for that, sir?" |
22496 | How do you get them out? |
22496 | How do you mean squat elsewhere? |
22496 | How do you mean, Martin? |
22496 | How do you mean? |
22496 | How do you mean? |
22496 | How long has John been away? |
22496 | How much land, do you propose applying for? |
22496 | How much liquor do you get from one tree? |
22496 | How so, Captain Lumley? |
22496 | How so, Martin? |
22496 | How so, dear coz? |
22496 | How so? |
22496 | I 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?" |
22496 | I must write to him, uncle? |
22496 | I presume you will add vanity to their attributes? |
22496 | I think it very odd that Captain Sinclair has not come to see us; do n''t you, Mary? |
22496 | I''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? |
22496 | Is all quite safe, do you think, Malachi? |
22496 | Is it possible that such small creatures can make such a din? |
22496 | Is my son from the West? |
22496 | Is she of the same tribe as the Strawberry? |
22496 | Is that the chief who served with the French, and wears a medal? |
22496 | Is the Young Otter of a near tribe? |
22496 | Is the bear good eating now? |
22496 | Is the beaver flesh good? |
22496 | Is the moose the same as the elk, Martin? |
22496 | Is there a porcupine there, Malachi? |
22496 | It must be,replied Emma;"wo n''t he speak?" |
22496 | It was foolish of me,replied Emma? |
22496 | John, 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? |
22496 | Look at me, my son; say, did you ever hear that the Gray Badger said a lie? |
22496 | Martin,said Percival,"when are you to teach me to fire the rifle?" |
22496 | Misfortune never comes single,replied Malachi;"what can we do? |
22496 | My dear Campbell,said his wife,"what do you intend to do about John? |
22496 | My dear John, you quite frightened me,said Mrs. Campbell;"why did you allow the beast to come so near to you?" |
22496 | My good man, you are Malachi Bone, are you not? |
22496 | No bad news, I hope, Campbell? |
22496 | No,replied Alfred;"but, Malachi, you said that he was going to fish in the punt, did you not?" |
22496 | No; what is it? |
22496 | Not without Captain Sinclair? |
22496 | Now, 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?" |
22496 | Now, what is to be done? |
22496 | Of sending a message by night,said Mrs. Campbell, with surprise,"why, what possible occasion could there be for that?" |
22496 | Poor Captain Sinclair? 22496 Poor Mary: what will she suffer?" |
22496 | Safe? |
22496 | Shall we give him some? |
22496 | Shall you have sufficient money, my dear boy, to pay every thing? |
22496 | She has a very modest, unaffected look, has she not, Alfred? |
22496 | Surely, he hardly expects us to quit the place to please him? |
22496 | Surely, he would not do that? |
22496 | Surveyor, 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? |
22496 | That is very remarkable in a savage,observed Mrs. Campbell;"but how did this Pontiac contrive to surprise all the forts?" |
22496 | That''s capital,cried Percival;"but tell me, Martin, how do you kill the bears?" |
22496 | That''s my name,replied the hunter in a deep voice;"and who on earth are you, and what are you doing here? |
22496 | The 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?" |
22496 | The chief of the Young Otter''s band is a great warrior? |
22496 | Then what am I to do if, as you say, you will not leave your uncle and aunt? |
22496 | Then what is the color of the other whales? |
22496 | Then why was not the boy taken back to the white man by the Indians who found him? |
22496 | Then you know that Percival is alive? |
22496 | Then, where did you leave them? |
22496 | Then, why are you uncomfortable about him? |
22496 | They go away to- morrow, John; where do they go to? |
22496 | This is very beautiful, is it not? |
22496 | This is very considerate of Mr. Douglas Campbell,observed Mrs. Campbell;"of course, my dear, you can have no objection?" |
22496 | This looks but little like a wilderness now, Mary, does it? |
22496 | To settle here!--why, what on earth do you mean, young woman? 22496 To- morrow; and where do you go to?" |
22496 | Very true; but what is that little figure following the chief with his arms behind him? |
22496 | Was that you who fired just now, John? |
22496 | Was your father of the Established Church, Malachi? |
22496 | Was your father still in the army? |
22496 | Well John,said Emma to him after the conversation had been ended,"what was Captain Wilson telling you about?" |
22496 | Well, John, how did you come here? |
22496 | Well, Mary, I suppose we must enlist too? |
22496 | Well, and then what do you do? |
22496 | Well, and what took place then? |
22496 | Well, but how do you take them, Malachi? |
22496 | Well, but is that all you can tell me, John? |
22496 | Well, ma''am, is n''t John a cool shot? |
22496 | Well, that is all right, Malachi; but what shall I do now while you are following up the trail? |
22496 | Well, that''s according-- how many be you in family? |
22496 | Well, then, Malachi, how shall we proceed? |
22496 | Well, what did you reply, Alfred? |
22496 | Well,observed Alfred,"now things may go on as usual within doors; and what have we to do out, Martin?" |
22496 | Well; but how do they raise these banks, Malachi? |
22496 | Well; but, Malachi, are we to let this be known to any body, or keep it a secret? |
22496 | What animal is that, Martin,--is it good to eat? |
22496 | What are the dogs after? |
22496 | What coppers will you use, then? |
22496 | What country is that, Alfred? |
22496 | What did you fire at? |
22496 | What does he say, Malachi? |
22496 | What is a painter, then, Super? |
22496 | What is it, Alfred? |
22496 | What is it, Malachi? |
22496 | What is it, Malachi? |
22496 | What is it, Strawberry? |
22496 | What is it, my dear? |
22496 | What is it? |
22496 | What is the name of this fish, Martin? |
22496 | What is the religion of the Indians, my dear aunt? |
22496 | What is your name among the Indians, Martin? |
22496 | What may that be, Captain Sinclair? |
22496 | What must we do then? |
22496 | What of my child,--my dear, dear Percival? |
22496 | What on earth makes you come here? |
22496 | What sort are they? |
22496 | What then do you advise, Emily? |
22496 | What''s the dog''s name? |
22496 | What''s to be done to- morrow, Martin? |
22496 | What, Emma, afraid? |
22496 | What, then, boy, tell me? |
22496 | What, then, is the redress in case of his doing any mischief? |
22496 | What, then, is your idea, Malachi? |
22496 | Where did my ball hit him? |
22496 | Where did that happen? |
22496 | Where is Percival? |
22496 | Where is he? |
22496 | Where is it that they go to make hay, Mary? |
22496 | Where is she? |
22496 | Where were you born, Martin? |
22496 | Where''s John? |
22496 | Where-- where is my child? |
22496 | Who is that? |
22496 | Who, John? 22496 Why did they name you the Painter?" |
22496 | Why do n''t you name your own price, Malachi? |
22496 | Why do you want your box, John? |
22496 | Why not? |
22496 | Why should they conceal it, if there was no danger, Campbell? |
22496 | Why should they? |
22496 | Why should you ask a guest to undertake such a service? 22496 Why should you say so, my dear?" |
22496 | Why so, sir? |
22496 | Why, I do not think that any news about them is likely to be pleasant news, Emma, and therefore, why should you wish it? |
22496 | Why, Martin,said Mrs. Campbell,"you do not mean that the children and these young ladies and I are to fire off rifles?" |
22496 | Why, aunt, have you such an objection to Percival going out with the hunters? |
22496 | Why, 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?" |
22496 | Why, do you wish to be fashionably dressed in the woods of Canada? |
22496 | Why, he wo n''t come this way, will he? |
22496 | Why, sir, do you see this mark here? |
22496 | Why, the boy is metamorphosed,said Captain Sinclair;"is it possible that so short a time could have produced this?" |
22496 | Why, what good can he do us? |
22496 | Why, what was it? |
22496 | Why, who is he? |
22496 | Why, who is this? |
22496 | Will he attack you? |
22496 | Will it detain you long? |
22496 | Will the white man be generous? |
22496 | Will they ill- treat or ill- use her, Martin? |
22496 | Would not the Major have been justified in detaining them? |
22496 | Yes, so you said before; but how do you do it? 22496 Yes; it is a foot, is it not?" |
22496 | You do n''t think that John would come into the woods without his rifle, sir, do you? |
22496 | You have heard of the proposal of Colonel Forster, about the cattle at the fort? |
22496 | You make me very impatient, Malachi, to know what it means; tell me from whom do you think the letter comes? |
22496 | You said something about guns,replied Martin,"what sort of guns did you mean?" |
22496 | You were born in Maine, Malachi, were you not? |
22496 | You will, of course, sleep here to- night? |
22496 | Alfred?" |
22496 | Alfred?" |
22496 | As they sauntered by the side of the stream, Mary said,"Well, Alfred, what do you think of the Colonel''s proposition?" |
22496 | At what time do the ships sail for Quebec?" |
22496 | Besides, what would they gain by attacking him? |
22496 | Bone to call first?" |
22496 | Bone?" |
22496 | But I suppose we shall see or hear from you occasionally?" |
22496 | But what are we to do, Malachi? |
22496 | Campbell?" |
22496 | Campbell?" |
22496 | Can you get us some?" |
22496 | Can you give me any prospect to cheer me?" |
22496 | Can you, Captain Sinclair, give us any information relative to a person who appears so well known in the province?" |
22496 | Cannon- balls were never invented for ladies, although they have no objection to balls,--have they Emma? |
22496 | Come, Alfred and Henry, what do you propose doing?" |
22496 | Come, John, where''s your knife? |
22496 | Did he send the Young Otter to me to tell me that the white boy was alive and in his wigwam?" |
22496 | Do n''t you know Martin Super, the trapper? |
22496 | Do n''t you think so, Harry?" |
22496 | Do you imagine that I would remain here when you were there, and my presence would be useful? |
22496 | Do you not think that his residence among the Indians has made a great change in Percival?" |
22496 | Do you understand, Master Percival?" |
22496 | Does my father live with the white man?" |
22496 | Emmerson?" |
22496 | Have we not health and spirits? |
22496 | Have we not our kind uncle and aunt, who have fostered us-- our cousins so attached to us? |
22496 | He do n''t drink spirits, and if he has tobacco for smoking and powder and ball, what else can he want?" |
22496 | He says he will be here in a few days, and"----"And what, dearest?" |
22496 | How did he die, Captain Sinclair?" |
22496 | How far from this did you find her?" |
22496 | How many ought we to have?" |
22496 | How much does fifteen times twelve make, sir?" |
22496 | How shall we dispose of ourselves? |
22496 | I presume it will be the last trip made by the boats this season?" |
22496 | I presume you do not mean to quit your profession?" |
22496 | I say, my good fellow,"said Alfred, after a while, to a man in a boat,"what is the name of that fifty- gun ship?" |
22496 | I''ll make a hunter of him; wo n''t I, Martin?" |
22496 | Is he not here?" |
22496 | Is it a frolic from the fort, or what is it, that causes all this disturbance?" |
22496 | Is it good?" |
22496 | Is it to hunt for us? |
22496 | Is it to watch for us, and give us notice of danger? |
22496 | Is it true, Mr. Alfred, that we are to have some more settlers come here?" |
22496 | Is the boy to go?" |
22496 | It was not until they were about to sit down to supper that Mr. Campbell said,"Why, where''s Percival?" |
22496 | John, will you look to that? |
22496 | Malachi answered to the inquiry,"What is the matter?" |
22496 | Malachi?" |
22496 | Must we give up the chase when close upon it, because time''s up? |
22496 | Now do n''t you feel some satisfaction in knowing you can load and fire them yourselves? |
22496 | Now, Martin seeks an Indian squaw, and why not therefore marry her after Indian fashion?" |
22496 | Now, what are we to do with the women? |
22496 | Oh, where is he-- my dear Alfred-- where is he?" |
22496 | Ought we not rather to thank Heaven that circumstances have enabled us to show some gratitude for benefits heaped upon us? |
22496 | Pray what is a catamount?" |
22496 | Shall I ask for any soldiers?" |
22496 | Shall we receive good, and shall we not receive evil?" |
22496 | Shall we soon see him again?" |
22496 | Sinclair?" |
22496 | So we are to have some sheep, I find?" |
22496 | Soon 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? |
22496 | Suppose we go back and narrate our first adventure?" |
22496 | The French ladies shrugged up their shoulders, and exclaimed,"Est- il possible?" |
22496 | The 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?" |
22496 | We 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? |
22496 | Were you ever hugged by a bear?" |
22496 | What can it be that he can not say for himself?" |
22496 | What can it be?" |
22496 | What could have put it in your head?" |
22496 | What could he obtain more in England? |
22496 | What do you think he said to me this morning before breakfast?" |
22496 | What do you want it for?" |
22496 | What does he want with the rest? |
22496 | What has the white man to give that the Indian covets? |
22496 | What is that?" |
22496 | What is the man''s name?" |
22496 | What o''clock is it? |
22496 | What shall we do?" |
22496 | What was the matter?" |
22496 | What was the result? |
22496 | What will they cost?" |
22496 | When are you to meet the Indian, Malachi?" |
22496 | When he entered, Malachi said,"Did you kill, my boy?" |
22496 | When he had finished, Mr. Campbell said--"And poor Martin, where is he, that I may thank him?" |
22496 | When will they come home? |
22496 | When will you come over?" |
22496 | Where is John?" |
22496 | Where''s Percival?" |
22496 | Where''s the boy?" |
22496 | Which of you is named Mary?" |
22496 | Who will remain with the prisoners?" |
22496 | Why have you not proposed it to Alfred or Henry, or even Martin?" |
22496 | Why so?" |
22496 | Will you oblige us by stating what afterward took place?" |
22496 | Will you?" |
22496 | You do not intend that the hunter should take him with him?" |
22496 | You have your rifles, in the bush?" |
22496 | You recollect the man, do n''t you, sir? |
22496 | and what do they live upon? |
22496 | are they not dangerous, Martin?" |
22496 | cried Emma,"and why are you going to Quebec?" |
22496 | cried Emma;"how shall we be able to go after the cows this morning? |
22496 | cried Malachi, laughing,"is that all? |
22496 | did he climb the snake- fence?" |
22496 | do you call that small game? |

22496 | how far is a journey?" |
22496 | is it possible?" |
22496 | no, boy, I never married her; what has an old man of near seventy to do with marrying? |
22496 | replied Alfred,"is it possible?" |
22496 | said Emma;"was it in battle?" |
22496 | said Malachi,"Could the oldest hunter have done better?" |
22496 | said 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?" |
22496 | said Mary Percival,"at the point, it is a village-- one, two, three houses-- just opening upon us?" |
22496 | said Mrs. Campbell;"how was that?" |
22496 | said Mrs. Campbell;"surely it can not be so great a hardship to live in a spot like this?" |
22496 | the practice you had during the fine weather has not been thrown away, has it, dear Emma?" |
22496 | what noise was that?" |
22496 | when was that? |
22496 | where''s Mary?" |
22496 | where?" |
22496 | why, what must the large be, then?" |

4389 | After this, who can doubt the existence of miracles in the nineteenth century? |
4389 | Ah, what now remains for thy portion but tears? |
4389 | And can you in Canadian woods With me the harvest bind, Nor feel one lingering, sad regret For all you leave behind? |

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

4389 | Could any fatal accident have befallen them? |
4389 | Could they have fallen in with wolves( one of my early bugbears)? |
4389 | Did I ever show you the work I wrote upon South America? ” “ Are you an author, ” said I, incredulously. |
4389 | Did I not see it with my own eyes? |
4389 | Did any other human being possess such eyes, or use them in such an eccentric manner? |
4389 | Did n''t you expect that you''d catch a good wallopping for the like of that? |
4389 | Did she remember me on her death bed?'' |
4389 | Do n''t you feel queerish, too? ” “ Ca n''t say that I do, Jacob. |
4389 | Do you hear? |
4389 | Do you mean to kill me?'' |
4389 | Do you not admit Mollineux to your table with your other helps? ” “ Mercy sake! |
4389 | Do you think you will miss oie? ”( looking very affectionately, and twitching nearer.) |
4389 | Does God provide, for the pleasure of such creatures, these flowers? |

4389 | Had they lost their way in the woods? |
4389 | Hout we maun all dee when our ain time comes; but, somehow, I canna''think that Jeanie ought to ha''gane sae sune. ” “ Who is Jeanie Burns? |

4389 | How did we come by it? ” “ It was zhot by oie, ” said Jacob, rubbing his hands in a sort of ecstacy. |
4389 | How fares it with you, Mrs. Moodie, and the young ones? |

4389 | How were they lost? ” “ Oh,''tis a thing of very common occurrence here. |
4389 | I 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?'' |
4389 | I 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? |
4389 | I have tested the truth of this proverb since my settlement in Canada, many, many times, to my cost; and what emigrant has not? |
4389 | I hoped that my guest had sufficiently gratified her curiosity, when she again commenced:-- “ How do you get your money? |
4389 | I said,''Yes; what of that?'' |
4389 | I suppose you take out your dog and gun in anticipation? ” “ True, ” said Tom. |
4389 | I wonder what the widows and orphans you have cheated would say to that? |
4389 | I''m a widow with twelve sons; and''tis---- hard to scratch along. ” “ Do you swear? ” “ Swear! |
4389 | I-- I-- I-- I give an account of the lecture? |
4389 | If you die afore your time, by wastin''your strength afther that fashion? ” Jenny never could conceive the use of books. |
4389 | In what respect is he better than us? ” was an observation too frequently made use of at these gatherings. |
4389 | Is God just to his creatures? ” With this sentence on his lips, he started abruptly from his seat, and left the house. |
4389 | Is His benevolence gratified by the admiration of animals whom we have been taught to consider as having neither thought nor reflection? |
4389 | Is he not the same flesh and blood as the rest? ” The colour rose into Mrs. D----''s sallow face, and she answered with much warmth-- “ What! |
4389 | Is the old woman who lives in the little shanty near the apple- trees more obliging? ” Mrs. Joe: “ That''s my husband''s mother. |
4389 | Is there anything I can do for you?--anything I can make for you, that you would like to take? ” She shook her head. |
4389 | Is there not a place in England called York? ”( Looking up and leering knowingly in his face.) |

4389 | Lend milk? |
4389 | Money! ” she added, in a coaxing tone, “ Where should I get money? |
4389 | Mother; can you teach me how to pray? ” “ Nonsense! ” said Mrs. Joe, hurrying forward. |
4389 | Mrs. Moodie, what is the matter? |
4389 | Not drink whiskey? |
4389 | Not use backy and snuff? |
4389 | Now I am old and grey, My bones are rack''d with pain, And time speeds fast away-- But why should I complain? |
4389 | Now do you comprehend? ” I nodded. |
4389 | Now that you have seen her, allow me to keep her for a few months longer? ” Addie was in the sleigh. |
4389 | Now, worn''t that a_ bootiful_ discourse? ” “ It was, indeed; much better than I expected. ” “ Yes, yes; I knew it would please you. |
4389 | Och hone! ” she cried, wringing her hands, “ masther dear, why will you lave the wife and the childher? |
4389 | Oh, the sunny days of spring, When I sat beside the shore, And heard the small birds sing;-- Shall I never hear them more? |
4389 | Oh,''tis hard, terribly hard upon the crathurs, an''they not used to the like. ” “ Can nothing be done for them? ” said I. |
4389 | One night I was roused up from my bed for the loan of a pair of “ steelyards. ” For what purpose think you, gentle reader? |
4389 | Pray how many wives have you had? ” “ Only three. |
4389 | Pray who sent you to make game of me? |
4389 | R----, ” said I, not a little annoyed at her presence, “ what concern is it of yours whether I work or sit still? |
4389 | S''poze I kill him? |
4389 | STANZAS Where is religion found? |
4389 | Say yeez or noa? ” This was coming close to the point. |
4389 | So that I get good pork and potatoes I shall be contented. ” What did these words imply?--an extension of his visit? |
4389 | So, widow( turning to our hostess), you are not tired of living alone yet? ” “ No, sir; I have no wish for a second husband. |
4389 | The captain screwed up his mouth, and after a moment''s reflection he replied, “ Births? |
4389 | The divil has made tinder of it long afore this. ” “ Why, what has happened to it? |
4389 | They almost invariably come back, and why? |
4389 | They had been blessed with a speedy passage, and were greatly pleased with the country and the people; but of what avail was all this? |
4389 | This is October; Joe will be sure to be off by the first of sleighing. ” “ But if she refuses to give up the place? ” “ Oh, leave her to me. |
4389 | To crown the whole, where can a country be pointed out which possesses such an extent of internal navigation? |
4389 | United in friendship, loyalty, and love, what wonders may you not achieve? |
4389 | Was it possible?--could it be Tom Wilson? |
4389 | Was it to protect her from the cold? |
4389 | Was she not purely British? |
4389 | We have no bran; can you give me a small quantity? ” Old woman: “ I never give anything. |
4389 | Wha ha''e we here? ” screamed Bell, retreating into a corner. |
4389 | What a scene!--Can the world produce such another? |
4389 | What could it all mean? |
4389 | What do you say to it? ” “ I should think as you do, Mr. Malcolm. |
4389 | What do you say, sir? ” and she fixed her keen eyes upon my husband, as if she would read his thoughts. |
4389 | What do you think of my dog? ” patting him affectionately. |
4389 | What had become of it? |
4389 | What harm is there in swearing? |
4389 | What harm? |
4389 | What is sarce? ” “ Not know what sarce is? |
4389 | What is sarce? ” “ Not know what sarce is? |
4389 | What makes you laugh? |
4389 | What next? ” I was anxious to see how far her impudence would go, and determined to affront her if possible. |
4389 | What the devil do you keep such an infernal brute about the house for? |
4389 | What will Mrs.---- say? ” “ She must not know it. |
4389 | What will become of the crathurs? ” responded Jenny, wiping her wrinkled cheek with the back of her hard, brown hand. |
4389 | What''s to be done, Joe? ”( to the old man.) |
4389 | When was man ever so devoted, so devoid of all selfishness, so attached to employers, yet poorer than herself, as this uneducated Irishwoman? |
4389 | Which is more subversive of peace and Christian fellowship-- ignorance of our own characters, or the characters of others? |
4389 | Who ever heard of borrowing a person''s dress without the leave of the owner? |
4389 | Who should walk in but Mr. Malcolm? |
4389 | Why at that particular time did his thoughts turn so despondingly towards those so dear to him? |
4389 | Why did the dark cloud in his mind hang so heavily above his home? |
4389 | Why do you beat the child, Jenny? ” “ It''s jist, thin, I that will bate him-- the unlucky omadhawn! |
4389 | Why do you laugh in that way? ” “ Excuse me-- but you have such an odd way of borrowing that I can not help it. |
4389 | Why, old woman, you do n''t mean to go with us that figure? ” “ Och, my dear heart! |
4389 | Why, where in the world do you think I found that beast sleeping last night? ” I expressed my ignorance. |
4389 | Why, woman, what do you mean? |
4389 | Will you lend me the tea? ” The woman was such an original that I gave her what she wanted. |
4389 | Will you oblige me by going into the kitchen? ” No answer. |
4389 | Would you expect a rooster to be bigger nor a turkey? ” We stared at each other. |
4389 | Would you like to go? ” “ Oh, by all means. |
4389 | Ye croaking owld divil, is that the tune you taught your son? |
4389 | Yet, by what stern necessity were we driven forth to seek a new home amid the western wilds? |
4389 | You are early abroad this morning, and look dreadful ill. Is anything wrong at home? |
4389 | You can dress her. ” I: “ But not with you here. ” Philander: “ Why not? |
4389 | You had your acres to sell, and what to you were the worn- down frames and broken hearts of the infatuated purchasers? |
4389 | You have been a fortunate man, Woodruff, to survive them all. ” “ Ay, have I not, Mr. S----? |
4389 | Your family may increase, and your wants will increase in proportion; out of what fund can you satisfy their demands? |
4389 | Zure, how the measter will laugh when he zees the fine buck that oie a''zhot. ” “ And have you really shot him? ” “ Come and zee! |
4389 | are such things permitted in a Christian country? |
4389 | are you going mad? ” said my husband, shaking him. |
4389 | did you see it? |
4389 | do you mean to insult me? ” cried the stranger, his face crimsoning with anger. |
4389 | do you think that I would sit down at the same table with a nigger? |
4389 | have you ever heard of a place situated in the forest- depths of this far western wilderness, called Dummer? |
4389 | how sud I ken that Willie Robertson, my ain Willie, had a wife? |

4389 | or are you deaf? ”( Going quite close up to him.) |
4389 | to what an enormous altitude of wealth and importance may you not arrive? |
4389 | what''s that? ” cried Satan, falling back in his chair, and pointing to the vacant aperture. |
4389 | whist! ” “ What is it? ” cried Emilia and I, starting to our feet. |
4389 | who would have thought, a year ago, misthress dear, that we should be living in a mansion like this, and ating off raal chaney? |
4389 | why was I forced by a stern necessity to leave you? |
4389 | will you join the band-- The factious band-- who dare oppose The regal power of that bless''d land From whence your boasted freedom flows? |
4389 | will you see the flag, Beneath whose folds your fathers bled, Supplanted by the vilest rag[1] That ever host to rapine led? |
4389 | “ A hunting- song? ” “ No fit for white man,”--with an air of contempt. |
4389 | “ Alive, is it ye are? |
4389 | “ And pray, sir, what were you sent there for? ” “ Stealing pigs, ” returned the incorrigible Tom, with the gravity of a judge. |
4389 | “ And what did you do then? ” said I. |
4389 | “ And what should be done to men who swear and use ondacent language? ” quoth Mary, indignantly. |
4389 | “ And where is Mr. E----? ” “ I hope not on the lake. |
4389 | “ And you go to town to- night, Mr. Wilson? |
4389 | “ Are the children alive and well? |
4389 | “ Are the houses come to see one another? ” he asked. |
4389 | “ Breakfast! ” she muttered, “ what can we give them to eat? |
4389 | “ But what are you doing here, my dear fellow? ” “ Shaking every day with the ague. |
4389 | “ But you surely are not going to take that dog with you? ” “ Indeed I am. |
4389 | “ Could you not dry your shirt by the fire, John? |
4389 | “ Did she ever marry again? ” “ She might have done so, but she loved her husband too well, and preferred living single. ” “ Humph! |
4389 | “ Did you ever taste any maple sugar, ma''am? ” asked Monaghan, as he sat feeding Katie one evening by the fire. |
4389 | “ Did you hear anything, Susan? ” She smiled, and nodded. |
4389 | “ Did you hear it? |
4389 | “ Did you not hear the crash? ” said she. |
4389 | “ Did you see those terrible eyes, Moodie? ” and I clung, trembling, to his arm. |
4389 | “ Do you keep backy and snuff here? ” says she, sideling close up to me. |
4389 | “ Do you know where it is? ” “ Oh, sure. |

4389 | “ Do you think you can better yoursel''? |
4389 | “ Do, pray, enlighten me. ” “ Have you been nine months in Canada, and ask that question? |
4389 | “ Does he mean to stay all the summer? ” thought I. |
4389 | “ Does the old man take me for a cannibal? ” she said. |
4389 | “ Does this road lead through the English Line? ” “ That''s another thing, ” returned the woodman. |
4389 | “ Fish, sir? ” said the obsequious waiter, a great favourite with all persons who frequented the hotel; “ there is no fish, sir. |
4389 | “ Fond of grapes? ” said he, putting the said bundle into my hands. |
4389 | “ Have you been in the country long? ” “ Four years, madam. |
4389 | “ How can I speak to God, who never knew Him? |
4389 | “ How could the fellow stomach what I said to him? |
4389 | “ How do you bear the heat? ” asked Mrs. C----. |
4389 | “ How do you do, Mr. Wilson? ” He stared at me for several minutes, as if doubtful of my presence or identity. |
4389 | “ How do you like being upon the lake in a storm like this? ” I whispered to my shivering, dripping companion. |
4389 | “ How the devil''s that? |
4389 | “ How was it that the old lady taught you to go a- courting? ” “ Arrah, that''s a sacret! |
4389 | “ I know that; but have you any tea to spare? ” I now began to suspect what sort of a customer the stranger was. |
4389 | “ I say, Sol, how came you to tell that tarnation tearing lie to Mr. S---- yesterday? |
4389 | “ Is Captain Moodie within? ” said the stranger. |
4389 | “ Is it a good one? ” “ I guess''tis. ” “ What do you ask for it? ” “ Two Yorkers. ” “ That is very cheap, if it is any weight. |

4389 | “ Is this the road to Dummer? ” we asked a man, who was chopping wood outside the fence. |
4389 | “ Meary, will you take oie? ”( jogging her elbow.) |
4389 | “ Must it be an old one? ” said I, laughing. |
4389 | “ Now what do you laugh for? |
4389 | “ Of course; they said so. ” “ And what am I to put into it? ” “ Patience; let me begin at the beginning. |
4389 | “ Oh, Jenny, ” I said, “ how shall I be able to ask her to accept provisions from strangers? |
4389 | “ Oh, you want to borrow some? |
4389 | “ Surely it can not be Mrs. S----, who once kept the---- hotel at C----? ” “ Mrs. |
4389 | “ Surely the little stumpy man is not returning to his old quarters? ” I am still a babe in the affairs of men. |
4389 | “ That Peter? ” he grunted. |
4389 | “ The masther''s come-- the masther''s come! ” “ Where?--where? ” “ Jist above in the wood. |

4389 | “ Well, Mrs. J----, what have you got for our dinner? ” said our driver, after he had seen to the accommodation of his teams. |
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 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 | “ 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?'' |

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