62255He mimicked the character exactly?
62255How are your shadows doing?
62255How did he work?
62255How''s dis, faller?
62255Huh?

62255Showboat? 62255 What is the next stop, skipper?"
62255What''s that?
62255You do n''t leave that bunk until I tell you to, y''understand? 62255 You''ve got it all, now?"
62255And Mr. Allington, too?"
62255But why_ me_, and why at Pallas?"
62255Clever, eh?"
62255Did it throw your mind off your troubles?"
62255Do I get the information I am after, or do I turn in my agent badge?"
62255Had Lunko improved his technique to the extent that he could even fool a wife?
62255Have you a vacant room where I can hang out for the remainder of the voyage?"
62255He wished... but hell, what was the use?

62255How long do you stay here?"
62255Now, whom do you think, could have been in a position to compile it?"
62255Or that no progress had been made?
62255Or that there was no emergency?
62255Or, Neville wondered, was his original theory of drugs or hypnotism correct?

62255This guy Simeon Carstairs, I take it, is the local man you have picked as the most likely prospect for your Master Mind crook to work on?"

62255asked Lunko, impatiently,"The combination of his safe, his office and home habits?
62255hokay?"
60955And now you have amended your motto to''to the end of the Earth and beyond''?
60955And why not? 60955 Are you compelling me to do something?"
60955Are you laughing at me with your eyes?
60955But what have the Polite People to do with murder? 60955 Close, but could you turn it just a little darker?"
60955Could you possibly--?

60955Saving your presence, and formula of a formula, what would we have to be violent about? 60955 Suppose that a burglar( for politeness sake called something else) were apprehended by a policeman( likewise), what would happen?"
60955That he will die of shame? 60955 Then there is a real reason for it?
60955Then you have just murdered me?
60955What did all your young pilots die of?
60955What will I die of?
60955What will prevent me?
60955Why did you do it to me?
60955With or without boodle?
60955Would you swear that I have not been given some fatal sickness?
60955You are asking that?
60955You mean they can take on the appearance of people at will?
60955And can you tell it to me?"
60955And if the burglar( not so called) remains unapprehended?
60955And then the burglar( not so called)?"
60955And what of other crimes?"
60955But why build a fence around it?"
60955Could I talk to Bently?"
60955Crude- featured, almost horse- faced, how could they all look like that?
60955Do you have to know why?"
60955How is the loss of the goods or property recorded?"
60955Is it simply custom?"
60955Is that a euphemism?"
60955Or shall I improvise where you do not remember?"
60955What possible cause?"
60955Why are the Polite People of Pudibundia so polite?
60955Why wo n''t I return?"
60955Would n''t a superior be too polite to give a reprimand to an inferior?"
59516Are they a clan, then, or brothers?
59516But tell me, is it still dark?
59516But when-- how long?
59516How will it be on Rigel Twelve? 59516 Is there a tribe of the dominant native species near here?"
59516Is this the house of Amos Sealilly, the factor of Aidennsport?
59516Quite dark?
59516The chief?
59516There are natives in the area then?
59516Was he lost in the swamp?
59516What about him?
59516What are you going to do to me?
59516What do you mean?
59516What do you want here?
59516What do you want?
59516What of Aidennsport?
59516What''s the matter?
59516What''s''inbreeding,''pa?
59516Where did you get that idea?
59516Where have you been?
59516Who do you suppose tipped him off?
59516Who is it?
59516Who''s there?
59516Why have we stopped?
59516Why not?
59516Will you care?
59516You all right?
59516You know them?
59516You refuse?
59516_ Is that you, Joseph?_"That''s pa,Joseph said.
59516_ Laura?_ Damn him! 59516 _ Who?_"Sealilly laughed.
59516_ Who_ is sure to see us?
59516And who are you, anyway?"
59516Do you know what a strategic withdrawal is?"
59516Do you think you will be able to take off?"
59516Do you want to see my crew?"
59516Does that sound so bad?"
59516He asked:"What about the spaceman?"
59516If she had failed to appear-- was hiding in the village-- might not others be hiding too?
59516Tell me, what time is it?"
59516That''s my pa. Say, are you a spaceman?"
59516Where is your father?"
59516Will I ever see you again?"
59516Will you guide me to the rocket?
59516Yet, what must we do?"
59516_ Escape from what?_ he wondered vaguely.
59652And about his being left- handed?
59652Anything new?
59652But you did n''t laugh at him?
59652But-- why?
59652Can you get close enough to get me through that window?
59652Can you give me any idea at all as to the location?
59652Congratulations for what?
59652Do you know what we have here, Forsdon?
59652Do you know where he is now?
59652Do you want to see them?
59652Have you heard from him since you came back?
59652How did they happen to pick him up?
59652How did you manage to invent that thing?
59652How long ago was that?
59652How well did you know him?
59652Is Mike in trouble?
59652Is there anything else you remember about him?
59652May I take you to dinner?
59652See that?
59652Something wrong?
59652Was he-- interested in you?
59652What do you think?
59652What happened to Gregory?
59652What''s good about it?
59652What''s that?
59652When is this glad event going to take place?
59652When?
59652When?
59652Where the hell have you been? 59652 Where was he when you saw him last?"
59652Why did n''t you say so?
59652Why not?
59652Why?
59652Will you trust me? 59652 You mean-- Mike?"
59652You think that would solve the problem? 59652 You wanted information?"
59652You''re certain about the limp?
59652Anything else?"
59652But what about assault, or rape, or murder?
59652But who would have thought Gregory could make like a human fly?
59652But....""But what?"
59652Forsdon?"
59652I was thinking, how stupid can we get?
59652Right?"
59652So it raises an interesting question: Is it possible to change the future?"
59652Something wrong?"
59652Want me to lose my license?
59652What was I thinking about?
59652Will you call your aunt, now, and make the arrangements?
59652You ask me what''s good about it?"
59652You saw the thing?"
46846Are you ill, my beloved? 46846 But the private carriage, the horse, the silver- mounted harness, the luxury of the whole turn- out?"
46846Field- Marshal? 46846 Has he enormous pay or a private fortune?"
46846How can you do that?
46846May I see it?
46846Ten thousand francs lost? 46846 This lady''s?
46846What proof can you give me,asked the War Minister,"of this extraordinary statement?"
46846What wine is that over yonder?
46846Which Schmidt?
46846Who are you, then?
46846Who is it?
46846Why should he not have been found guilty?
46846''Who were his friends, now?''
46846A judge was summoned to interrogate him, and asked,"Who struck you?"
46846But how was I to take him?
46846Clearly there had been a crime, but who were the guilty parties?
46846Could he now be permitted, even if he wished, to swear away the life of another man for the same offence?
46846Could such wrong be done to a young and vigorous man without some sort of struggle that would leave its traces on himself and in the scene around?
46846Do you know Hebrew?"
46846Giles then said,"But you are not going to London, are you?"
46846HOAG OR PARKER?
46846Her muff, moreover, was found in the water; why should she have retained that to the last?
46846How and when had the change been effected?
46846How could she have substituted the large for the small?
46846I''d go for one, but which?
46846Might not someone else have made the change?
46846Pinkerton seemed to understand, and the other suddenly asked,"Do you ever deal, any?"
46846Prince Gortschakoff?
46846Surely you know me?"
46846The Surrey jailer, Ives by name, asked him,"Can not this be''stashed''?"
46846The thief would probably try to make tracks out of the country as soon as he could; but which way?
46846Then one of my men came in to say that Burbidge had been seen taking a ticket-- to London?
46846Todleben?"
46846Was it all a fraud?
46846Was it likely that a family party collected round the supper- table would take one of their number downstairs and hang him?
46846What could have been the writer''s object in fabricating it?
46846What could the accused say to rebut such seemingly overwhelming evidence?
46846What had become of the saddle- bags in which the murdered man had carried his cash?
46846What if Marie Capelle( Lafarge) had had something to do with this theft?
46846When reproached with this questionable practice, de Sartines defended it by asking,"Where should I find honest folk who would agree to do such work?"
46846Where had she been all this time?
46846Who had died, if not she?
46846Who shall say what their fate might have been?
46846Why should not suspicion be laid at the door of the Blue Dragoon?
46846Why?
46846Will you, and can you, trust me with a little arsenic?
46846Yet more, Anna Brun, having seen Marie Lafarge mix powder as before in her husband''s drink, heard him cry out,"What have you given me?
46846[ Illustration: CAN THE LAW REACH HIM?
46846who might this be?''
59323A week?
59323All right, then what else but a flying particle could drill a hole in a man''s forehead the diameter of a piece of 16-gauge wire?
59323And empty lots and all sidewalks and streets and public buildings and the whole damned outdoors plus the indoors?
59323And have them come bleeding back after a few weeks?
59323And the parks? 59323 Any chance that he might recover consciousness?"
59323Can you hear me?
59323Corpses bleed, do n''t they?
59323Good Lord, man, have you no imagination?
59323How did this happen?
59323I figured you''d be waiting for me, Lieutenant, but you know what?
59323Like quarantining the schools and the playgrounds?
59323Like what?
59323Now what?
59323Relax? 59323 Run into them?"
59323So it just shoots stuff off into another dimension?
59323So your little toy was harmless?
59323Still looking for a motive for murder, are n''t you, Lieutenant?
59323That much I grasp, but what good is it except as a demonstration of a piece of pure scientific research?
59323The fever?
59323Then what are you waiting for?
59323Trying to steal my brother''s other invention, are you? 59323 What do the x- rays show?"
59323What do you mean?
59323What happens when some kid jams his gun against a light- pole or an automobile... or the night lock on the First National Bank?
59323What''s the use? 59323 Why did you ask for homicide when you called the police?
59323You have n''t even been to see him?
59323A bombardment from the sky?
59323A detector?
59323A hundred times?
59323All right, suppose a jury would accept such an impalpable theory as a motive, then what?
59323And all back yards and front yards?"
59323Anything else I should do?"
59323Are you sure you want me to try?"
59323But ca n''t you get the dope you want from his brother?"
59323Collins, our print man, said,"Why not just shoot them back into wherever it is they go, with another i- Gun?"
59323Do n''t touch a thing in this room... or did you already?"
59323Do you see why I wanted to keep it a secret until I could patent it?"
59323Eight-- ten weeks ago?
59323Fifty?
59323From now on, understand?"
59323How come you did n''t tell anybody?"
59323How long ago?
59323I suppose they told you that?"
59323Or let''s put it this way: What makes you think it was n''t an accident?"
59323See that?"
59323Suppose, I mused on my way back to the station, that Calvin had refused to let Leo commercialize on his discovery?
59323Ten?
59323We ca n''t do anything about it, so why drive people crazy with fear?"
59323What about the murder- attempt angle?"
59323What did they look like?"
59323What is it?"
59323What would be cheap enough to distribute universally, yet effective enough to give you positive warning?
59323What''s so suspicious about humoring my brother''s research?"
59323When all over the country people are tearing their bodies to pieces?
59323Who''s his beneficiary when he dies?"
59323You do know now?"
59323You know that, do n''t you?
59323_ Durstine, who would fire a 20-year man without a qualm if he caught a single trace of beer on his breath on duty._"What else is new?"
35040Are not some divisions harder to beat than others?
35040Are there aristocrats and middle class people, for instance,a number of persons have said to me,"and does position count for much?"
35040Are you going to look hard out West?
35040Are you not at all to blame for your present condition?
35040Bound West?
35040Did you notice any one on the stairway?
35040Do all the fellows come from around here?
35040Do n''t the railroad people trouble you?
35040Do n''t you have to make regular reports to any one?
35040Do n''t you think you would probably be more successful if you raided them oftener?
35040Do the police trouble you much?
35040Do you ever shift to other roads?
35040Do you see much of the detectives?
35040Do you think the company wants it stopped?
35040Does n''t the government get after you?
35040Get up, will ye?
35040Got much fall money?
35040Got the hot- foot at the other camp, I guess?
35040How did he learn to write? 35040 How did it happen?"
35040How do you manage?
35040How do you spend your time?
35040How do you think things would go if you men were organised and had a chief? 35040 How long do you generally keep a job?"
35040How many are in the push?
35040How many tramps are riding trains?
35040How much of a loaf do you have between jobs?
35040How your cells?
35040I''m your deef''n''dum''brother, see? 35040 Is there much robbing of cars going on?"
35040On the road, Jack?
35040Pan out pretty well?
35040Peter- work,[2] o''course, what d''ye think?
35040S''pose y''ai n''t got a piece o''wood with a little brimstone on the end of it, have ye?
35040They''re not bad fellas, are they?
35040Was he born that way?
35040What do you do there?
35040What do you think ought to be done to keep tramps off trains?
35040What is the main graft?
35040What kind of work is that?
35040Who are they?
35040Who first thought of organising the big push?
35040Who is responsible for what you do?
35040Why do n''t you try to break up the tramp camps?
35040A question that I was continually putting to myself when meeting the"professional"was: What made him choose such a career?
35040Ai n''t that right, eh?"
35040Can he ever get well?"
35040Have you no manners?"
35040How long do you think I was paying him back?
35040How many crooks get what they ought to in this country?
35040I had hardly taken a seat on one of the ties, and said,"How are you?"
35040Is it because they are ignorant of what goes on, or merely because they are indifferent?
35040Is that Christianity?
35040Is that the way religion is going to make you and me any better?
35040Meanwhile, however, what has become of the protected thief?
35040Moral issues have not been at stake; the thief has not stolen from the officer, and why should the latter not be friendly when they meet?
35040Now, what''s it going to cost me?"
35040One very well informed detective, for instance, said:"Do you mean the whole push, or just the A Number One guns?
35040See?"
35040See?"
35040They went immediately to the cells we had chosen, and, seeing that our things were in them, said:"These your togs in here?"
35040WHO CONSTITUTE OUR CRIMINAL CLASSES?
35040Was it, or was n''t it, the intention that outcasts were to have religion?
35040What are they to do?
35040What the devil''ud become o''the world if we refused to work?
35040Would better work be done?"
35040Ye''ve got a match, ye say?"
4786And how old are you?
4786Are you married?
4786Awe,drawled the Corporal,"what''s the use o''goin''t''all that trouble?
4786Before the Americans, perhaps?
4786But is this the man that shot you?
4786By the way, I suppose you''re well armed?
4786Can he read?
4786Can you read and write?
4786Check Number?
4786Do his parents live on the Zone?
4786Do you do any work besides your own housework?
4786Does n''t your husband live here?
4786Does the puente romano still cross the river?
4786Doing? 4786 Emm-- What military service have you had?"
4786Er-- would you be kind enough to tell us where we can find this Gatun dam we''ve heard so much about?
4786Ever done police duty?
4786Have n''t you a commissary- book with it in?
4786Hell''s fire, no?
4786How long have you lived on the Canal Zone?
4786How old is he?
4786How old_ I_ are? 4786 I certainly am,"replied the steward;"What do you think I''m down here for, me health?"
4786Is he a Jamaican?
4786Is he married?
4786Is he older than you?
4786Is you a American? 4786 Mac"desert?
4786Married?
4786Name? 4786 Name?"
4786No?
4786Poseeton?
4786Say, I hope you''re not nervous?
4786Senor,I asked,"did you go to the dance in Miraflores last Saturday night with this youth?"
4786Shall I borrow a gun, Lieutenant?
4786Since when have you lived in this house?
4786Some ambitious foreman,I mused, and went on with my queries:"Occupation?"
4786Station commander there?
4786The Admiral''spatent- leather shoes-- but why go into painful details?
4786Well then where the devil did you first land after you were born?
4786Well what nationality was your father?
4786Well, about how old?
4786Well, then this is the man that shot you?
4786Well, what country are you a subject of?
4786What color is he?
4786What dat, boss?
4786What kind of work does he do?
4786What man?
4786What the devil are you doing there?
4786What time does that 6:35 train leave?
4786What you doing, boys?
4786What''s his metal- check number?
4786What''s the sense o''me tryin''to chew the fat in French?
4786What?
4786When and where?
4786When did you come to Panama?
4786Where you born, boy?
4786Who''s talking?
4786Why do n''t you learn it?
4786You ai n''t no American?
4786You''ll want to catch the 5:25 back to Corozal?
4786''Ad yer census taken yet?"
4786( Evasively)"Work?
4786--"Can you read?"
4786A forerunner of what, in a few brief years, will have happened to all the Zone-- nay, is not this the way of life itself?
4786About sixty, say?"
4786An absinthe frappe?
4786And just how much does that cost-- here?
4786And what is the retail price of that particular drink?"
4786And what was my reward?
4786And you, Flossie?
4786And"Mac"?
4786At any rate-- On our cards, after the query"Color?"
4786But could it ever be?
4786But how if you were one of those who blew in on the heels of the last Frenchman and have been eating it ever since?
4786But what mattered such small losses?
4786But wo n''t the factory superintendent also be anxious to make a"record"?
4786By the way, are not you who read curious to know, even as I for long years wondered, where a detective wears his badge?
4786Census taken yet?"
4786Commonplace?
4786Could he set him down as he had many a mere red- blooded person and thereby perhaps establish a precedent that might result in his own mortification?
4786D, who is a quartermaster at$ 225, may be on"How- are- you- old- man?"
4786Did I not know that reimbursements were ONLY for"liquor and cigars, cab or boat hire, and meals away from home?"
4786Do n''t know where you were born?"
4786Does Mrs. Smith fear that Mrs. Jones next door will succeed in pumping out of me that capital bit of information?
4786Enumerator( on a venture):"What''s the man''s name?"
4786From then on each dived in to snatch his prey and, dragging him to the nearest free space, began in some language or other:"Where d''ye live?"
4786Graft?
4786Had your census taken yet?"
4786How can I have used that word in connection with his incomparable performance?
4786How did that happen?"
4786How eber yo gon''l''arn talk proper lika dat, yo tell me?"
4786How they framin''up?
4786I crowded close, caught his words, memorized the few questions, and there was I with my"Poomaynes?"
4786I exclaimed--"and read those?"
4786I set them to staring and chattering by some simple remark about their birthplace:"Fine view from the Paseo del Rastro, eh?"
4786If ah does any work?
4786Is he a laborer?"
4786Is that all we got for nine years''work and half a billion dollars?"
4786Now it needs no deep detective experience to know that in such cases you naturally begin with,"Well, what you going to drink, girls?"
4786Now then, how many children?"
4786Now your name?"
4786Now, Henry, what is your room- mate''s name?"
4786Now, Mamie, what''s that you''re drinking?
4786Of the two great divisions among them, Barbadians seemed more well- mannered than Jamaicans-- or was it merely more subtle hypocrisy?
4786Or attempt to give a hint of life on the Canal Zone without mentioning the most conspicuous factor in it?
4786Restless- eyed black men who answered to their names only at the question"Cummun t''appelle?"
4786Sabe frisked?
4786Self- appointed interpreter of the same shade;"He as''how old is yo?"
4786Should even a detective work on such a Sunday?
4786Suppose the doortender should refuse to honor it and force me to impress upon him the importance of the Z. P.--without a gun?
4786The negro:"Why, boss, ca n''t a man chastize his wife when she desarves and needs it?"
4786To a Barbadian woman of forty:"Just you and your daughter live here?"
4786To a Dominican woman of fifty- two, toothless and pitted with small- pox:"Are you married?"
4786To a Jamaican youth;"How many people live in this room?"
4786To a six- foot black giant working as night- hostler of steam- shovels:"Well, Josiah, I suppose you''re a Jamaican?"
4786Variations on the above might fill many pages:"How old are you?"
4786Was it not stated that all applications for reimbursement required an exact itemized account of each separate expenditure, with the price of each?
4786Was this then police talk?
4786Wet?
4786Wha''fo''yo as''all dem questions, mahster?"
4786What more striking than a shining- black waiter strutting proudly about under the name of Levi McCarthy?
4786What more then could I do than set down such items as:"May 12, Liquor, investigation, Panama--$6.50?"
4786What was my duty when the friends handed him some money and a package of cigars?
4786What ye having?"
4786When did you move here?"
4786When he ordered the driver to halt before the"Panazone"that he might speak to some friends should I fiercely countermand the order?
4786When the prisoner turned to remark it was a warm day should I warn him that anything he said would be used against him?
4786Where would you go, think you, to buy that new farm?
4786Why should not one census, like one baptism, suffice for a life- time?
4786Why, damn you, I suppose you''re getting your rake- off too?"
4786Yet could he stretch a shade-- or several shades-- and set him down as"white"?
4786and crying instead:"Here, what the devil is going on here?"
4786and give their age only to those who open wide their mouths and cry,"Caje- vous?"
4786and"Padremaynos?"
4786steward and complained that his waiter did not serve him reasonably:"Well,"sneered the steward,"I guess you did n''t come across?"
4786tracks to shout in at the yard- master''s window,"How soon y''got anything goin''up the line?"
30832A what?
30832And have''em coming after me again and again until they catch me? 30832 And you''ve been in operation for how long?"
30832And you?
30832Another one of your zanies, eh?
30832Anything extra you want, Roy?
30832Burke''s which, sir?
30832But it just does n''t sound right, does it? 30832 But why would he want to make it look like a kidnaping instead of... of what it was?
30832But, man, it is n''t magic we''re discussing, is it?
30832By the way, am I wrong in assuming that Nestor will not get your psychotherapy treatment?
30832Can I see ya, Inspector? 30832 Can you stand up?"
30832Cigarette?
30832Could I talk to you outside, Inspector Royall?
30832D''you mind if I ask some questions?
30832Did he talk much?
30832Did he tell you what happened?
30832Did the Commissioner give you a Special Badge?
30832Did you know that Brownlee was an anthropologist before he turned to psychology? 30832 Do you figure this as a sex- degenerate case, Inspector?"
30832Do you know something? 30832 Do you know the fat guy?"
30832Do you remember that, a couple of centuries ago, the laws of some countries provided the perfect punishment for pickpockets and purse- snatchers?
30832Hammerlock Smith? 30832 Has he ever been in here before?"
30832Have a good trip across?
30832He''s one of your zanies, too, is n''t he? 30832 Hurt?
30832Inspector, since when it is against the law to ask a couple of guys how come they''re following you? 30832 Is there anywhere we can talk?"
30832Manny the Moog?
30832Noise?
30832Notice anything about his voice?
30832Now what?
30832Now, a zany who was that badly crippled--?
30832Now, just to clear the air, what_ is_ it?
30832O.K., Sam?
30832Running short, eh? 30832 Sam, you can sit on this one for a while, huh?
30832Sam,I said wearily,"are you going to give me a lecture on police methods?"
30832Shirley''s father? 30832 Sidney Manewiscz?"
30832Sorry to bother you during office hours, but could I borrow fifty? 30832 The guy who fingered you for the boys?"
30832The next question is: Where?
30832Think he''ll testify?
30832Was he drunk?
30832What about Joey Partridge?
30832What about the time of death?
30832What about this kid he accosted in the bar? 30832 What are you doing here, Manny?"
30832What did you do to his hands?
30832What do you think?
30832What else we got, Inspector?
30832What is it, Lieutenant?
30832What was he drinking?
30832What will you do to this Hammerlock Smith, then?
30832What''ll it be?
30832What''s it all about, Joey?
30832What''s that?
30832What''s the trouble, Manny?
30832Where''s your husband?
30832Who else could it be? 30832 Why do you say that?"
30832Would you give me the key to your apartment, Mrs. Ebbermann? 30832 Yeah?"
30832Yes?
30832You Lee Darcey?
30832You hurt, Joey?
30832You mean he''s a real English Duke?
30832You still awake, Dad? 30832 You sure it''s the Donahue girl?"
30832*****"Do you remember Manny the Moog?
30832And have I told you that you''ll be invited to the wedding?"
30832And how long would it be before he obligingly hammered the life out of his young victim so that we could put him away permanently?
30832And that puts the police in a hell of a position, does n''t it?
30832And where does that put today''s psychotherapy?
30832And why did n''t she tell her mother where she was going?"
30832As Inspector Kleek had said, we get''em eventually......._ But at what cost?
30832As soon as the door closed behind Dr. Brownlee and Manewiscz I said:"You two brought the witness in, too, did n''t you?"
30832But if you clip the_ other_ wing, what happens?
30832Can I give the groom away?"
30832Can I ride with you?
30832Can you advance the fifty?"
30832Could he have lured her away, do you think?"
30832D''you agree?"
30832Did you ever see what happens when you lock a claustrophobe up in a dark closet-- the mad, unreasoning, uncontrollable panic of absolute terror?
30832Do you live on the seventh floor?__ Yes, I do.__ Then we''re neighbors.
30832Do you live with your mommie and daddy?__ Just my mommie.
30832Does Shirley have a key to your apartment?"
30832Duke, did you say?"
30832Ebbermann?"
30832Had he spoken to her in the elevator?
30832Have I got it straight so far?"
30832Have you been betting on the stickball teams again?"
30832He thought it over for a while, then said:"Just what is it you do to men like that?
30832He''s crippled, right?
30832How can you be so sure he''ll never hurt anyone again?"
30832How d''ya like that?"
30832How did he get her away?
30832How long ago was this?
30832How many teenage boys had been frightened or whipped into doing as he told them and then been too ashamed and sick with themselves to say anything?
30832How old?
30832How''s Mary Ellen?"
30832Hurt bad?"
30832I could see him, but he could n''t see me, so I said:"What''s the trouble, Joey?"
30832I said,"Darcey, if he comes back in here... let''s see-- Can you shut off that big sign out front from behind the bar?"
30832I turned and said:"Want some action, Your Grace?"
30832I turned to Brownlee and said:"Which reminds me-- what''s going to be the disposition on the Hammerlock Smith case?"
30832Inspector Acrington?
30832It''s a hell of a great system, is n''t it?
30832Let''s go check the files, huh?"
30832Loitering with intent to commit a nuisance?"
30832Look, Your Grace, you know what''s done to keep a captive wild duck from flying away?"
30832Now, you were saying?"
30832O.K., Inspector?"
30832O.K.?"
30832O.K.?"
30832O.K.?"
30832On the other hand--"Look, Lieutenant, you have n''t said anything to the newsmen yet, have you?"
30832Practically cut and dried, is n''t it?"
30832Remember me, Dad?"
30832Right?"
30832Shall we go on with our pub crawling?"
30832Sit down, wo n''t you?"
30832The basement?
30832The foyer itself?
30832The little fellow who was brought in yesterday?"
30832The roof?
30832Then what?
30832Understand?"
30832Want to come along?"
30832Want to come down here and pick it up?"
30832Was it magic this morning when both you and I had a hunch that little Shirley was_ not_ in the park, in spite of the way it looked?
30832Was it magic when we eliminated, without even searching, every spot but the place where she actually was?"
30832We know that ninety per cent of the men on that list right there are going to be convicted of a crime of violence inside the next five years, right?"
30832We know what they are, do n''t we?
30832We''ve got all these characters down on the books, do n''t we?
30832What is the technique used?"
30832What would you charge''em with?
30832What''s another victim more or less, as long as we get the killer?"
30832What''s he up for?"
30832What''s his record?"
30832Where are you?
30832Where is he?"
30832Where, then?
30832Where_ are_ you?"
30832Why do n''t we just go out and arrest them all right now?
30832Why fool around with assault and battery charges when we can wait for him to murder somebody and then lock him up for good, eh, Sam?
30832Why should she?
30832Will you teach me?"
30832Will your cure work?"
30832You want to come down here and look over the scene, or you want to go to the morgue?
30832You want to listen?"
30832You''ll have the Commissioner call me?"
30832You''ll prefer charges, Joey?"
30832[ Illustration]"All right if I let Manny the Moog go, Roy?"
47445''Want to set my barn afire with your old pipe, do you?'' 47445 ''When did you get out of jail?''
47445And you do n''t mind, honey?

47445What are you going to do about it?
47445What is the explanation? 47445 What would be the broker''s fee?"
47445What''s it for?
47445What?

47445You got what you asked for, did n''t you?
47445You remember the speech of Mark Anthony,he said;"how he produced a tremendous effect with the robe of the great CÃ ¦ sar?
47445You wo n''t mind, honey, if I take a pie home, will you?

47445And what does it mean?

6569Charlie,he exclaimed,"what are you doing here?"
6569Could I see you a moment alone, sir?
6569Did you see him writing and writing page after page? 6569 Did you tell Hannah anything about it?"
6569Did you, Seabrooke?
6569Do n''t you feel sneaky?
6569Do n''t you think it is what I ought to do?
6569Do you come from Sylvandale? 6569 Do you hear me, Henderson?"
6569Do you know her?
6569Do you think you would rather not come here?
6569Doctor,she said,"would you mind telling me how soon you think Lena will be able to bear a little excitement?"
6569For you know, dear Lena,she said,"your father and brother said for charity, did n''t they?
6569Hallo, Neville,he said;"what is the matter?
6569Have I made a mistake as to my own house and found my way into a private insane asylum?
6569Have you lost a letter, Harley?
6569Have you sent it home?
6569Henderson, are you ill?
6569How can I, dear, when I do not know what it is?
6569How could I forget them?
6569How could I tell her such a thing? 6569 How much would it cost for me to take music lessons?"
6569How was that? 6569 I have not seen it,"or,"I have not found it,"was all the response he had to make to the inquiries of,"Have you heard anything of your letter?"
6569I say, Neville,he continued,"you know I did not mean to keep the money, do n''t you?"
6569I say, Neville,said Raymond Stewart, meeting Percy not half an hour afterward,"are n''t you going to stand treat out of that fortune of yours?"
6569I say, Percy,said Raymond Stewart,"you hav''n''t made over that hundred dollars to Flagg, have you?
6569I want to tell you, Bessie,she said, falteringly,"but you will not tell any one, will you?
6569If Hannah or Letitia come, shall I tell them to put it away?
6569Is he the kind of a one-- a banker, I mean,said Hannah,"that would give you a note for gold-- golden guineas?"
6569Is n''t he invited?
6569It must be so, else why this wild excitement? 6569 It will not lodge in my pocket,"said Seabrooke;"how can you carry such a sum of money in such an insecure place, Neville?
6569Lena, dear,said Bessie,"is your brother Russell worse?"
6569Lena, is it Percy?
6569Maggie and Bessie, you are not just going, are you?
6569Maggie and Bessie,she said, with more animation than her little friends had ever seen her show before,"what do you think has happened?
6569Mamma,she called,"is it almost time to rise?"
6569Master Percy-- none of''em is n''t hill?
6569My child,said her father,"what can you possibly want of a hundred dollars?
6569Neville,he said to him one day,"have you written to your parents about this matter?"
6569Oh, I forgot, how are the feet? 6569 Oh, I say, Bess, you are going to begin your music lessons at Easter, are you not?"
6569Oh, did you tell him? 6569 Oh, no, my dear not Utica, no indeed, not Utica-- did you not know?
6569Or is it of a private nature?
6569Sending what-- the weight?
6569So it was your friends and relatives, then, who sent the check for the church to my father, and the Christmas box to my sister?
6569Sylvandale,she repeated;"do you know Sylvandale?"
6569That was good luck, was n''t it?
6569That would take two quarters and a half a quarter to make up a hundred dollars, would it not, papa?
6569Then who''s going to be sentinel at evening study?
6569Turned stingy all of a sudden, eh?
6569Was Lena delirious at any time while she was so very ill?
6569Well, I declare, Mary Richards, you ai n''t no great hand to talk, but when you do, you just do it beautiful; now do n''t she, Jennie? 6569 What are you going to do about this?"
6569What can I ever do for you?
6569What can we do?
6569What did I come for?
6569What did I do? 6569 What do you all say?"
6569What do you mean? 6569 What have you done with it?"
6569What is all this, Miss Trevor?
6569What is in that little woman''s mind? 6569 What is it, my dear?"
6569What is it? 6569 What is the matter, Maggie?"
6569What is your sister''s name? 6569 What will you do?"
6569What''s all this fuss about putting the letter away, anyway?
6569What''s the matter, Lena?
6569Where have you been? 6569 Where have you met Lena''s old nurse before?
6569Where is Lewis Flagg?
6569Where is it, then?
6569Who then? 6569 Whom do you accuse?"
6569Whose are these?
6569Why do you not?
6569Why should Uncle Horace worry himself about Hannah''s money?
6569Why, that will build a whole new church; will it not, Uncle Horace?
6569Why?
6569Why?
6569Wo n''t you look in your trunk-- carefully-- before you lock it?
6569Yes,answered Charlie,"and-- Seabrooke--""Well, what is it?"
6569Yes,answered Seabrooke in a stern, cold tone,"did you say you saw some one put it there?"
6569You do n''t suppose any one is going to steal it, do you?
6569You have n''t lost it?
6569You here in this cold draught, Miss Elsie; an''what''ll Hannah say, I wonder?
6569You remember the checks papa and Russell sent me?
6569You say I took back my money without asking you for it, and hunted it out from your places?
6569You''av''n''t''ad hany bad news, Miss Lena?
6569You''re a nice fellow to call yourself a gentleman, are''n''t you?
6569_ Who_ saw Flagg do this thing?
6569--knowing of the secret fund for future expenses, the story having been told to him by his nephews,--"have you gold of which you wish to dispose?
6569An''you maybe''ave seen my boy, Master Percy Neville, my boy that I nursed?"
6569And now, how could she make up her mind to sacrifice this cherished sum even for the reckless, selfish boy whom she loved?
6569And why should she have sent the money unless she had known that Percy was in sore need?
6569And you maybe know Dr. Leacraft''s school?
6569And, will it be believed?
6569Are none of you interested?"
6569Are you ready to abide by my terms?"
6569Ashton''s?"
6569Bless your heart, how are the feet?
6569But Lewis suddenly flashed up and answered impudently:"How are we to know that the money was in that letter?"
6569But how comes it that you are not at Miss Ashton''s?
6569But if they had known what followed after Gracie had been left alone in the room where she had so disgraced herself, how would they have felt then?
6569But mamma-- could I not tell mamma?"
6569But was it certain that this responsibility lay solely between these two boys?
6569But what is this excitement you are speaking of, Maggie?"
6569But who is likely to win it,--you wo n''t, of course, whatever your chances may have been in the beginning-- any one of your chums?
6569Can it be that our Percy is your young cavalier, Miss Trevor?"
6569Did you forget that?"
6569Did you know that Bessie had begun to write poetry?"
6569Do you comprehend me?
6569Do you not agree with me, father?"
6569Do you think it is possible, now that Russell is better?"
6569Do you think it possible,"an idea occurring to him,"that she is troubled about losing the chance to win this prize?"
6569Do you think it would be called charity to do that when the person was in trouble only because he had been-- had done very wrong?"
6569Do you wish to hear more of this, dear; or are you tired?"
6569Do you, Bessie?"
6569Does she think-- yes-- think that the money has not gone?
6569For was not her beloved nursling in danger?
6569Gladys?"
6569Had Percy been guilty of possessing himself of his own property by such unjustifiable means?
6569Had Seabrooke lost the money?
6569Hal, what was that for?
6569Has he, Flagg?
6569Have you been troubling yourself, dear, over that secret?"
6569Have you some new charity at heart?"
6569Havn''t you something you could sell?
6569He''ll give it to you; it''s only twenty pounds, Lena, and what is twenty pounds to him?
6569How could I?"
6569How could you, Percy?"
6569How would that do now?
6569I say, Percy,"aloud,"why do n''t you put that money into Mr. Merton''s hands till you are going home?"
6569I shall lock it up, I can tell you; and what if you tell me not to return it to you till we are breaking up?"
6569I suppose it would n''t do, would it, Miss Ashton?"
6569Is Lena worse?"
6569Is it possible he is your brother?"
6569Is n''t he the meanest fellow in the world to be so set upon having the doctor knowing about last night?
6569Is n''t it rather shabby after what the doctor said to us?
6569It had been started by Raymond Stewart, who had said:"How do we know that some one else has not been meddling with that money?
6569It would be quite true, would it not, to say that she had done so well at the first that we all thought it fair for her to have it?"
6569Leacraft?"
6569Lena seemed to be considering for a moment; then she said, evidently with a great effort,--"Do you think she would come if I wrote and asked her?
6569Let me see; where is it?
6569Lewis, where is that letter?
6569Maggie Bradford or Bessie, or those?"
6569Maggie, every night when you say your prayers, do you thank God that Mrs. Neville is not your mother?
6569May I know?"
6569Might I ask the cause of this more than usually effusive greeting?"
6569Not even Maggie?"
6569Or was one of their number an actual thief?
6569Or-- I do not like very much to ask you, but what can a fellow in such a scrape do?--couldn''t you ask Uncle Horace to let you have it?
6569Percy Neville''s money?"
6569Shall I read this, Lena; do you care to hear it?"
6569Shall I write?"
6569She roused to a bewildered half- consciousness of something unusual; what was it, good or ill?
6569Should he tell him?
6569Then after a moment''s hesitation, she said,"Will you ask her to come, Maggie?"
6569Then, turning to the little old lady,"How do you do, Miss Trevor?
6569There now, here, child,--why, bless your''eart, Miss Lena, what is it?"
6569WHO WINS?
6569Was it a letter of importance?"
6569Was it possible that there was one among the circle who would do such a thing?
6569Was this a trap?
6569Was this indeed all the impression made upon Percy by his late peril, all the shame and regret he could feel?
6569What ails you?"
6569What could it all mean?
6569What could they do?
6569What do you mean?"
6569What do you say, ma''am?
6569What had happened before she went to sleep?
6569What have you been doing that they are forfeited, for I know papa promised them to you after Easter?"
6569What say you?"
6569What should she do now?
6569What woke you?"
6569What''s she so secret habout it for?"
6569Who be you goin''to, by your leave?"
6569Who could have been aware of her extreme need of it?
6569Who could have known, thought Bessie, how very much she wished for this sum of money?
6569Who could have sent her that money?
6569Who touched your things?"
6569Who was it?
6569Who was it?"
6569Who was it?"
6569Who would have believed it of him, weak, miserable coward that he is?
6569Who''d have thought Neville was such a Miss Nancy, such a coward?
6569Why did I come back to it, back, yes, back?"
6569Why did you not come before?
6569Why not make a clean breast of it, Percy, and have it over?
6569Why not make use of the very way in which this well timed gift had come to her and send it to Lena anonymously?
6569Why should she have sent them to Percy?
6569Why?"
6569Will you come into the junior recitation- room?"
6569Would Lena feel like having Gracie come here?
6569You hardly, I suppose, can obtain such a sum of money except by application to them; or have you some other friend who will help you?"
6569[ Illustration:"HAVE I FOUND MY WAY INTO A PRIVATE INSANE ASYLUM?"]
6569_ Must_ you tell your mother everything-- things that are not secrets of your own?"
6569and who was to read the answer to the riddle?
6569he ejaculated between his set teeth, and with his eyes actually blazing,"you stole this, did you?"
6569our pattern Bess has never been doing anything wrong, has she?
6569said Seabrooke to himself; then replied aloud,"Why, because you wish to pay a just debt?"
6569scanning her curiously,"did something frighten you?"
6569she asked, coming to her sister''s side;"is your throat sore?
6569what is this?"
6569what''s the matter?

55847And when the mothers of those girls die, and a family of young children is left behind, what then?
55847Are penniless, ignorant, and often gross young people to be engineered into promiscuous marriage without a protest?
55847Are the poor to have no guidance?
55847Are these and suchlike arrangements good enough for the poor?
55847Are we to accept the principle that punishment must be in inverse ratio to the seriousness of the offence?
55847As I stood over her, she looked up and said:"Are you Mr. Holmes?
55847Brown?"
55847But married men began to ask,"Why can not we have separation orders against habitually drunken wives?"
55847But ought they to suffice in these enlightened days?
55847But supposing the sea be decided upon, in what capacity are they to go?
55847But what avails intermittent wood- chopping?
55847But what becomes of this life?
55847Can an irregular supply of envelope- addressing, continued for a few weeks, be considered work?
55847Can not they influence her?"
55847Can we expect them to exhibit the rarer qualities of human nature?
55847Cure them of animal passion elemental in its intensity?
55847Cure them of diseased minds and disordered brains, by keeping them for two or three years without drink?
55847Did n''t you hear them?"
55847Do people drink less?
55847Do you say we are dirty?
55847Does a lust for blood accompany an excess of the other passion in a woman of her temperament and characteristics?
55847Had her wardrobe been sold to a dealer?
55847Had the West End lady died?
55847Have you no thought for them?
55847He then left us, muttering as he went:"I wonder what he''s for?"
55847Help to have us put out, would you?
55847Here again I am tempted to philosophic inquiry, or to engage in some attempt to answer the question-- Are we as a nation becoming more dishonest?
55847Holmes?"
55847How are they to pay their rent if yours remains unpaid?
55847How came it about that, after such a splendid beginning, they had come to such a deplorable end?
55847How can I get rid of them?
55847How can anyone help them when they are so deceitful?
55847How can healthy, virtuous, and orderly children come from such unions?
55847How many times have you picked up the pennies?
55847How much did they give you this morning?"
55847How much have you got left?"
55847How old are you?"
55847I accompanied them into the streets, and said to the old woman:"Where are you going to live?"
55847I ask, Is not a procedure of this kind a grave misuse of the power of the courts?
55847I did so, and she carefully closed the door, and then burst out:"What can I do with them?
55847I said to him:"Tell me why you did this cruel deed?"
55847I said,"You came out of prison a week ago, and paid a deposit on your room?"
55847I said--"burglary?
55847I saw sensual enjoyment written very largely about his lips and eyes; but I repeated his words,"A high old time?"
55847I shook hands with him, and said:"What are you doing here?"
55847I was speaking a short time ago to a young man whom I knew had been several times in prison, and asked him:"What are you in for this time?"
55847If rogues are to be imprisoned at all, by what process of reasoning can it be argued that she ought to go free?
55847If their teeth are not good, what does it matter?
55847In one of my conversations with the brother, I suddenly asked him:"Have any of your relations been detained in lunatic asylums?"
55847Is it any wonder that the children born of her have poor bodies and strange minds?
55847Is it fair to place on a young and inexperienced girl the onus of deciding whether or not her would- be murderer shall be punished?
55847Is the widespread evil that attaches to wholesale"separation"of no consequence?
55847Is there any justice about it?
55847Looking up sharply, he said:"No, He would have made me bigger, would n''t He?
55847Moreover, if these"young gentry"are to be consigned in wholesale fashion to prison, will it lessen the evil?
55847Of course not; what decent husband could?
55847Of what use is casual bill- distributing?
55847On what principle can she be called a first offender?
55847Perhaps so; but what are the poor to drink?
55847Ragged, are we?
55847Shall we deny these youths the greatest blessing given to humanity-- discipline?
55847She held it up, and tried to look at it; but she was not satisfied, for she said to her daughter, who was standing by:"Jane, is this a sovereign?"
55847Sir, are you going?"
55847The one cry, the one plea of all the poor who are to be ejected is:"Where are we to go?
55847Then, as an afterthought, he said:"What''s the time?"
55847Then, turning to me, he said half defiantly:"I suppose I can take her back home if I like?"
55847To the elder one I said:"What are you going to do to bring a little grist to this mill?"
55847To the younger one I said:"What are you going to do to help the finances?"
55847To what class do they belong?
55847To what, then, shall it be attributed?
55847To- night I was a bit angry, and said,"Oh, is it you again?
55847Was he a boy at all?
55847Was there ever seen that which could eclipse these three old women in the art and virtue of saving?
55847We shall be ill.""Have they paid you any rent?"
55847What are my wife and children to do?"
55847What can I do?''
55847What can be done for, or with, such women?
55847What can be expected but ribaldry, indecency, disorder, and violence?
55847What can big lads of this description do in such surroundings?
55847What can such youths do?
55847What could the Governor do with him?
55847What did it all mean?
55847What did it matter?
55847What else could I do?
55847What has happened to the old convict?
55847What is the matter with them?
55847What more pitiful sight can be imagined than the removal?
55847What of the offspring that issue from these homes and these neighbourhoods?
55847What place is there in strenuous life for such young fellows?
55847What right have you to submit your children to the care of an abandoned woman?
55847What will be the effect of a judgment like this?
55847Whatever shall we do?"
55847Where am I to live, then?"
55847Where are the greasy, drunken old solicitors that haunted the precincts of police- courts twenty- five years ago?
55847Where are the reddened faces that told of protracted debauch?
55847Where are the"blue- bottle"noses now?
55847Where could they put it all?
55847Which will was to stand?
55847Who can excel the people of our slums in true heroism?
55847Who can reform them?
55847Who can rescue them?
55847Who can tell the anxiety that came upon Hettie in the expenditure of that money, while consumption increased its hold upon her?
55847Who can tell the story of her brave life?
55847Who cares?
55847Who else could have done so much for them?
55847Who told you we got drunk?
55847Who would be nurse for the young man when the old man was gone?
55847Why are they different from women generally?
55847Why did you come so early?
55847Why did you cut your bread in that way?"
55847Why do n''t you go and do the work?"
55847Will it be believed?
55847Will you have one?"
55847Will you kindly lend me the letter, that I may show it to my friend?"
55847Would I excuse her?
55847Would the methodical thrift of the old women give way in the face of such a temptation?
55847Would the old man''s sentence expire before the young man died?
55847Would the young man die before the old man''s time was up?
55847and why has it caused the prisoner to commit a certain action?
55847by volume, who would be a penny the worse?
55847how many times have you put them down again?
55847is that your name?"
55847is there a stronger, more tragical, temptation than yours?
46762''Tis no harm to wish for them; is it, father?
46762A vast improvement, certainly,said Mr. Stanton,"but you ca n''t manage the R''s yet, hey?
46762And Willie?
46762And Willie?
46762And did you make it, too, Starr?
46762And do n''t you feel a bit sorry for her, Maggie?
46762And do n''t you feel very happy with us?
46762And has Willie seen his mother''s face?
46762And has my Bessie nothing to say?
46762And how are the children off for clothes?
46762And how came they in Aunt Patty''s pocket?
46762And how has this come about?
46762And how have you been this long time?
46762And how much is that?
46762And if at first you do n''t succeed, what then?
46762And is he going to, mamma?
46762And is there no one but this little mountebank to look after you?
46762And is there nobody left to take care of you?
46762And shall you ask her, mamma?
46762And shall you call the book''The Happy Family''?
46762And she says, very gentle,''Are you sick?'' 46762 And so you call him your policeman; do you?
46762And then I shall see; sha''n''t I, father? 46762 And what are we to do, Tom?"
46762And what burden have you, dearie?
46762And what does Bessie say?
46762And what if she was Aunt Patty?
46762And what is that?
46762And what is the news?
46762And what is this wonderful favor?
46762And what makes my princess so sad this evening?
46762And what will it be about, Maggie?
46762And when are you going to begin it?
46762And who is the child that was lost?
46762And who said I was going to scold her?
46762And why did you not come to me for help? 46762 And will I see then, mother?"
46762And will she yun away and never be seen again?
46762And will your Aunt Patty be here when he comes, my dear lady?
46762And you have no possible clew to who this person was, Richards?
46762And you thought maybe your lost child was Mrs. Stanton''s granddaughter; did you?
46762Are you going to lose your ears now you have found your eyes? 46762 Are you or papa going to do it, mamma?"
46762Are you the little lady who was lost a couple of months ago?
46762Are you tired of being shut up in the house so long, dear Midget?
46762Aunt Patty,said Bessie at the breakfast- table the next morning,--"Aunt Patty, did you hear what Uncle Ruthven did for us?"
46762Bessie,he said,"did I vex you a little last night?"
46762But do you believe she gave up the grove for that, mamma? 46762 But have n''t we just as good a right to have them as anybody else?"
46762But how came it into your hands?
46762But if Uncle Yuthven did it for a favor to us, why did he not tell us first?
46762But the corners are not half as sharp as they were once; are they, dear?
46762But what caused the trouble?
46762But what made her so unhappy, papa, and why were the boys so afraid of her?
46762But why?
46762But, Maggie, do n''t you think he makes pretty intimate?
46762But, mamma, do you think that was a nice way? 46762 But_ this_ has no bright side; has it, mamma?"
46762Can he go to Sunday- school when he''s blind?
46762Can you find the book for me?
46762Children,said Mr. Bradford, that evening,"who would like to hear a true story?"
46762Course she has; how could she help it?
46762Did n''t I mend it as nice as a new pin?
46762Did not Aleck love her after the fire?
46762Did she take them off your feet, Franky?
46762Do n''t allow what?
46762Do n''t you think you''d be very sad, sir, if you were blind?
46762Do you not know me, Maggie?
46762Do you remember Aunt Patty, my darling?
46762Do you think she has a guilty conscience, Maggie?
46762Do you want anything, Bessie?
46762Does Mrs. Granby live here?
46762Does anything trouble you?
46762Does he not like that?
46762Does she have a great deal of trouble?
46762Every one has; have n''t they?
46762Everybody has some burden; do n''t they, Aunt Patty? 46762 Grandmamma had a letter from him last night, and she said he promised to come before the winter was over; and_ wo n''t_ we all be happy then?"
46762Harry, my boy,said Mrs. Bradford,"this is all so, but how do you happen to know so much about it?"
46762Have you been in any mischief, dear? 46762 Have you offended him?"
46762Heard what?
46762Help me?
46762How are your blind boy and your lame wife and your sick baby, and all your troubles?
46762How could you help it if she wanted to, Maggie?
46762How did they come off then?
46762How do you do, Mr. Station Policeman?
46762How do you know I would?
46762How is he?
46762How is your Willie?
46762How old was she, farher?
46762How precious what is, my darling?
46762How? 46762 I do n''t know,"said Maggie;"how much can he afford?"
46762I guess things ai n''t going just right with you; be they, Sergeant Richards?
46762I wish we could always remember our Father is nigh; do n''t you, Aunt Patty? 46762 Is it a bargain, little ones?
46762Is it a duty story, farher?
46762Is it not pretty, Aunt Patty? 46762 Is that all?"
46762Is that for me?
46762Is the sea at the mountains, papa?
46762It''s true, papa; is it not?
46762Lot''s wife?
46762Maggie, darling, who sends the rain?
46762Maggie, have you forgiven that old woman yet?
46762Maggie,said Bessie,"do you remember about that Patty woman?"
46762Mamma can not kiss you till you are a good boy,said Mrs. Bradford, and repeated her question,"Where are your slippers?"
46762Mamma, did you lend a helping hand?
46762Mamma,Bessie had said afterwards,"do you think Aunt Patty was very grateful for our presents?"
46762Mamma,said Bessie,"do you mean Aunt Bessie is coming to stay with us?"
46762Mamma,said Harry, indignantly,"what do you stand it for?
46762Mamma,said Maggie suddenly, as they were about leaving the table,"do n''t you wish you had forty children?"
46762May I, papa,--may I?
46762Mr. Bradford, I believe, sir?
46762Not mamma?
46762Oh, Maggie, why do n''t somebody come?
46762Oh, do say those words to her?
46762Oh, it has been such a bad day, and we thought it was going to be such a nice one, did n''t we?
46762Oh, that, sir? 46762 Oh, you''re home, be you, Sergeant Richards?"
46762Papa,said Bessie, as her father paused for a moment,"do you mean the story of this passionate child for a lesson to me?"
46762Papa,said Fred, eagerly,"what were the names of these boys and their aunt?"
46762Papa,said Maggie, as her father rose from the table,"do you think there is the least, least hope that it will clear to- day?"
46762Papa,she exclaimed, as Mr. Richards said the last words,"does he really mean that woman went and paid that money for blind Willie to be cured?"
46762Saw what, sonny?
46762So you are very fond of music; are you, Willie?
46762Starr,said Bessie, peeping up in his face,"have you some good news?"
46762That sounds nicer and more booky; do n''t you think so?
46762Was she a relation of yours, papa?
46762Well, dear,she asked, after a moment''s surprised silence,"What is it?"
46762Well,said the colonel, laughing,"neither you nor I shall quarrel with her for that; shall we?
46762What are they, if you are at liberty to speak of them?
46762What becomes of all your r''s? 46762 What did you say?"
46762What did you use to call it?
46762What does he say, Jennie?
46762What does he say, Jennie?
46762What does that mean, Maggie?
46762What has happened to you?
46762What has troubled you, dearest?
46762What is all this about, little one?
46762What is it, Willie?
46762What is my rosebud afraid of?
46762What is that?
46762What is that?
46762What is the matter, Willie?
46762What is the meaning of all this?
46762What is this trash in my basket?
46762What is your lady''s name?
46762What old lady?
46762What shall we do for the blind boy?
46762What woman?
46762What would it look like?
46762What?
46762Where are your slippers, Franky?
46762Where is your mother?
46762Where is your nurse?
46762Who is for a summer among the mountains?
46762Who put it on?
46762Who sha''n''t do what?
46762Who told you that I had any burden to bear, child?
46762Who was that on the stairs?
46762Who''s making that music?
46762Who''s that?
46762Why do n''t they tell Jesus about their troubles, and ask him to help them?
46762Why does Mrs. Bradford invite her when she always makes herself so disagreeable?
46762Why, Bessie, my darling, what is it?
46762Why, Mary, what is it, dear?
46762Will that new foot walk in the street?
46762Will you be our yelations when Uncle Yuthven marries Aunt Bessie?
46762Will you please to walk in?
46762Will you yite a piece that I make up about yourself?
46762Would n''t you like to come out and feel the spring, Willie? 46762 Would you and Jennie like to go down to the parlor and hear it?"
46762Would you, dear?
46762You could n''t do wi''out me very well; could you, morher?
46762You have; have you?
46762You know me then?
46762You say Dr. Schwitz tried to bribe you by saying he would send in no bill, if you allowed his nephew to escape?
46762Young ladies, may I request the honor of your company in my room for a few moments?
46762_ Does_ he, Aunt Bessie?
46762_ You_ could not think of it, I suppose, Maggie?
46762And can we do so, or truly show our love to him, if we hide the services rendered for his sake behind a mask of coldness and reserve?
46762And do n''t you like to know the blue sky is there, and that Jesus is behind it, looking at you and feeling sorry for you?
46762And do you not think it would be very pleasant to have her for your own aunt, and to keep her always with us for our very own?"
46762And how was it with our Maggie?
46762And if he do n''t make them very happy, the faults are a great deal harder to bear; are they not?"
46762And now how was she to undo what she had done, so that Maggie and Bessie might still keep this matter in their own hands?
46762And now would you like this little peace- offering from Uncle Ruthven?"
46762And that tiny quilt was the pride and delight of Jennie''s heart; for had she not put it all together with her own small fingers?
46762And the babies,--would you wish them motherless?
46762And these people were nothing to her; why should she make such a sacrifice for them?
46762And was it possible that this dreadful old woman was really coming again to their house to make a visit?
46762And was it possible?
46762And what would our Jennie do without the little sister that she has such a pride in and lays so many plans for?
46762Are they hopping about like they used to, over the trees, so tame and nice?"
46762Are you his wife, ma''am?"
46762Are you not glad to see me?"
46762Are you not glad?"
46762Are you the little girl that was lost and taken up to the station?"
46762As for poor Mrs. Bradford, it was very mortifying for her; but what was to be done?
46762Aunt Bessie and Uncle Ruthven were there; and what did she see?
46762Aunt Bessie, why did n''t it come?"
46762Aunt Patty is quite too dog- in- the- mangery; is she not?"
46762Bring her doggie,''"said Jennie; then turning to her mother, she asked,"Mother, do you b''lieve you can understand Tommy till I come back?"
46762But I do wish we could really know; do n''t you, Bessie?"
46762But how could she do it?
46762But is not that a sweet hymn to say when we are sorry for our sin, and want him to help and forgive us again?
46762But the question was, how should she get the money back from the doctor without betraying herself to him or some of the family?
46762But who was she, and how did she know so much of my affairs?
46762But you are not going to lose your sight; are you, Bessie?"
46762But, Willie, if he does not see fit to give you back your sight, could you bear it, and try to think that it is his will, and he knows best?"
46762But, dearest children, did we not all determine not to allow ourselves to be irritated and vexed by such things as have taken place this morning?
46762But, mamma, it ca n''t be; can it?
46762Can I be of any service to you, sir?"
46762Can you not imagine that he thought it would be very pleasant for us to be related to you?"
46762Come and look over the balusters, but do n''t let her see you, or else she''ll say,''What are you staring at, child?''"
46762Could n''t you feel a little that way about your mother, Willie?"
46762Did you not see dear Bessie''s wistful look at you as she bade you good- night?
46762Do n''t you think your mother and me would like to see you rigged out like them, if we had the way to do it?
46762Do n''t you wish we lived in the country, father?"
46762Do you not know your Aunt Patty?"
46762Do you remember that God hears you when you say such wicked words?"
46762Do you think Mrs. Richards would be hurt if I offered them to her?
46762Do you think of going there?"
46762Do you wonder that the sight drove her frantic?
46762Doctor, was I just as patient as you wanted me to be?"
46762He knew just what we would like; did he not, mamma?"
46762He would like to know how much you want for it?"
46762Here lives a man named Porter,--you remember him, Aunt Patty?"
46762How comes on the history of the''Complete Family,''Maggie?"
46762How could he save Aleck?
46762How could papa and mamma think it best to allow it?
46762How dare she talk so to you?
46762How is my policeman?"
46762I have, thank God, the means and the time; can you show me where I can best spend them?"
46762I''ll answer for it that those eyes could flash with something besides fun; could they not, papa?"
46762If I find a man to buy your book, will you have it ready, and trust it to me, when I come back?"
46762Is my policeman pretty well?"
46762Is n''t he, Willie?"
46762It was_ you_ sent her, after all, ma''am; was it not?"
46762It''s as the gentleman says,--''bread cast upon the waters;''but who''d ha''thought to see it come back the way it does?
46762Just now-- But how far do your benevolent intentions go?"
46762Mamma, could n''t you help them?''
46762Mamma, do n''t you think papa had better ask him to go back to Africa for a little while?"
46762Mamma, do n''t you think that is plenty of yeasons to be fond of her for?"
46762May I ask who are the''we''who have such a very high opinion of me?"
46762None of us can see Jesus, but we know he sees us and loves us all the same; do n''t we?
46762Now is she not a meddling, aggravating old coon, Aunt Bessie?
46762Now was n''t that pretty?
46762Now we only feel glad, and do n''t you feel glad, too, when you know how happy they all are?"
46762Oh, will I never have to fret to see mother''s face again?"
46762Poorly, eh?"
46762Richards, how are you?"
46762Rush said,"Children, what do you think that burden was?"
46762Rush,"and how could you do all that on one foot?"
46762Schwitz?"
46762She would not be so good and generous; would she?"
46762She, this innocent little one, the darling and pet of all around her, what burden could she have to bear?
46762Should she ask the children for it when they came home?
46762Should she bear the burdens of others only when they did not weigh heavily on herself?
46762Suddenly there came from the door, in clear, childish tones,"Ladies, ladies, does Patty stold oo?
46762That those who stood beside her could scarcely prevent her from throwing herself into those waters which covered all she loved best?
46762Was it not so?"
46762Was it possible?
46762Was it possible?
46762Well, Mary, how has it gone to- day?
46762Well, what does she do, the pretty creature, but just catch herself up in the midst of her grieving and say that bit of a prayer?
46762Were not the branches looped with gay ribbons?
46762What did it matter if one could scarcely tell the pigs from the men?
46762What do you mean by that?"
46762What do you mean, Henry?"
46762What do you say to it?
46762What do you say, Bessie?
46762What is the good of having an old uncle with plenty of money in his pockets, if you do not make him''do charity''for you?
46762What is the matter, Maggie, and where is nurse?"
46762What reward shall I give you for that_ R_uthven?"
46762What should you say to Uncle Horace and Aunt May?"
46762What would I do without you, Mary, dear?
46762When mamma teaches you French, you can not always pronounce the words as she does; can you?"
46762Where are your nurses, that they do not see after you?
46762Who could help it?
46762Why will you not openly share with us the pleasure we must all feel at the blind boy''s restoration to sight?
46762Why, have you seen the child?"
46762Why?
46762Will it be next week, father?"
46762Will it do?"
46762Will she let me touch her?"
46762Will you try if you can be like Benito, and so receive the blessing of Him who says the cup of cold water given in his name shall meet its reward?"
46762Will you wonder if after this Henry felt as if he could never be patient or forbearing enough with this poor unhappy lady?"
46762Would you like to go with her and see the policeman''s children?"
46762Would you not like to go down- stairs, pets, and ask old Dinah to bake a little cake for each of you?
46762Would you not like to go there with all the dear friends, rather than to Quam without them?"
46762You do n''t know if Mrs. Stanton has any relations of the name of Bradford?"
46762You love dear Aunt Bessie very much; do you not?"
46762_ JENNIE''S HOME._"Morher,"said little Jennie Richards,"is n''t it''most time for farher to be home?"
46762and"Why do n''t you let the carriage leave you at the house?"
46762but then that could not be; could it?"
46762exclaimed Bessie, as her mother just then entered the room,"what do you think?
46762or"Is not that pretty?"
46762said Bessie,"what does that mean?"
46762said Fred, in a voice of dismay,"Aunt Patty is not coming here again; is she?
46762said Fred,"anything more?"
46762said her uncle,"so you have come to it at last; have you?
46762said mamma,"is that the way to speak to Aunt Patty?"
46762we are very much_ trialed_; are we not, Maggie?"
46762what is all this about?
46762where have you been?"
43263A hand, an arm, a gun?
43263A-- a leaf?
43263All you want is your money? 43263 And are you equipped to handle that side of the case?"
43263And do you wish to be tried by this court?
43263And last night?
43263And still you came back?
43263And the bullet?
43263And the bullet?
43263And these birds took it?
43263And we''ll find the man, wo n''t we, Drew?
43263And what do you think? 43263 Another call?"
43263Are you a lawyer?
43263Bad for what?
43263Be in town that long, wo n''t you?
43263Bullets?
43263But do you know the exact way to this farm?
43263But how must the detective feel who has dealings with such a man? 43263 But is n''t a police officer''s life always in danger?"
43263But the bullets?
43263But the burglars?
43263But what about the squad call that was going through when the raid on the radio station was made?
43263But what''s on the platter?
43263But where did the boys come from?
43263But where is the society that cares for the women and children made widows and orphans by the bullets of gangsters, burglars, and robbers? 43263 But who could do less than try?"
43263But why do they do it?
43263But why the grin at all?
43263But why? 43263 Ca n''t you see?
43263Call picking pockets going straight?
43263Can you prove that he meant to shoot you?
43263Can you?
43263Did they get them? 43263 Did you hear him?
43263Do n''t mind coming along, do you? 43263 Do you think those pickpockets had their gang walk in on this boy and beat him up?"
43263Do you think you can make anything of just a shell?
43263Drew,said Johnny, almost solemnly,"did you ever hear of Newton Mills?"
43263Drew? 43263 Dumplings in meat gravy?"
43263Equipped?
43263Ever box?
43263Find anything?
43263First thing we''ve got to do to- morrow,said Drew,"is to work out the probabilities?"
43263For,he was accustomed to say to his friends,"who will know what I hold in that hand?
43263Forensic ballistics,he said musingly as he sipped hot coffee,"sounds rather impossible, does n''t it?
43263Freight? 43263 Go answer it, will you?"
43263Going over town? 43263 Gone?"
43263Got good jobs?
43263Had anything to eat?
43263Has he told you how it all came about?
43263Have a good rest?
43263Have n''t you heard?
43263Have these men a record?
43263Have they found the bullet?
43263Have they saved the bullet?
43263He did? 43263 He''s a pal of yours?"
43263He-- he never told us--"That he had a daughter? 43263 He?
43263Hey? 43263 How about it?"
43263How about the bullets?
43263How does it come you were not arrested with this pal of yours?
43263How''d you like to meet me at the club this evening for a few rounds?
43263I wonder if that''s the price? 43263 In those other cases of that night, the safe- blowing and theatre robbery, was there any unnecessary shooting?"
43263In what way do they differ?
43263Is it hard to become a city detective?
43263Is that true?
43263It may save this man Mills for a great service,he told himself,"and who knows better than he how to bring these inhuman ones to justice?"
43263Just what you been doing with this thing?
43263Know how most of''em go? 43263 Know what''s in this jug?"
43263Know what?
43263Know what?
43263Like a little music?
43263Mind if I sit down awhile? 43263 Newton Mills, the great city detective?
43263Newton Mills?
43263Nothing, is it? 43263 Now can I go?"
43263Probably I did; otherwise why did he drop the gun?
43263Remember me, do n''t you? 43263 Shall you go with us?
43263Sit down, wo n''t you?
43263Slugs?
43263So that''s a leaf?
43263So that''s the way they do it?
43263So you know I rode the back of the gangster''s car all the way out?
43263Someone has told you?
43263Tell me?
43263That yours?
43263That''s the way it goes, is it?
43263The man with the hole in his hand shot Rosy''s father? 43263 The probabilities?"
43263They are?
43263They did n''t tell you, did they?
43263They nearly killed you, did n''t they?
43263Think I''d stay away?
43263Think they''ll ever use airplanes in hunting criminals?
43263Think you''re a smart bunch, do n''t ya''?
43263To what purpose?
43263Train?
43263We will get the reward, wo n''t we? 43263 Well,"chuckled Drew,"you got one, did n''t you?"
43263Well,said the judge,"you all working?"
43263Wha-- what is it?
43263Wha-- what was that?
43263Wha-- where am I?
43263What are you doing here?
43263What bullet?
43263What bullets?
43263What can one learn from a spent bullet?
43263What could be sweeter? 43263 What could be sweeter?"
43263What could have happened?
43263What did you do?
43263What did you do?
43263What did you kill?
43263What do you mean, the type?
43263What do you say? 43263 What do you think, Drew?"
43263What guns?
43263What have you done with them? 43263 What have you got to say?"
43263What is your name?
43263What of it?
43263What was that?
43263What was this bird doing when you shot him with that arrow?
43263What will you do with the cottage now?
43263What would you have done?
43263What you running about?
43263What''s all that?
43263What''s that?
43263What''s this man''s name?
43263What''s wrong?
43263What''s your name?
43263When is a man an empty shell? 43263 Where are them slugs?"
43263Where did you get that gun?
43263Where is he?
43263Where is he?
43263Where''d you come from?
43263Where''s the light switch?
43263Where?
43263Where?
43263Where?
43263Who made you a call? 43263 Who shot?"
43263Who was running this game?
43263Who''s gone?
43263Who?
43263Who?
43263Why?
43263Wonder why that man beat me up there in the studio? 43263 Wonder why they live here?
43263Yeah? 43263 You all got real good jobs?"
43263You are Newton Mills?
43263You drink with him sometimes?
43263You have heard of him?
43263You here?
43263You know that long row of warehouses just back of your shack, Drew?
43263You stole a hundred dollars from an innocent boy as a joke on a boy detective? 43263 You took a little drink yesterday?"
43263You want some coffee? 43263 You wo n''t fail us?"
43263You-- you do n''t know those other young fellows?
43263Your father? 43263 A quiet night? 43263 A whole leaf?
43263AND WHY?
43263Afraid?
43263And besides, if they did, who would they get to go for''em?
43263And now, who knows?
43263And why, I wonder?
43263And you''ll stick?"
43263And you?
43263Anything else?"
43263Are we warned or threatened?
43263But after all, the question is, where do the radio station wreckers belong?"
43263But after that?
43263But had he seen her?
43263But how about the others?"
43263But how was this to be effected?
43263But how?
43263But if we needed you to appear before a jury as a witness in this case four months from now, would you be in Chicago?"
43263But must a high class robber believe all that he hears on the street?
43263But then, who can describe ravioli a la Tuscany?
43263But was this a true derelict?
43263But we''ll find out, wo n''t we, Drew?"
43263But were these truly ready to stand back of law and justice?
43263But what of this strange, prematurely gray man?
43263But what was this?
43263But what was this?
43263But where you going?"
43263But who knows?
43263But why did he pick me up?
43263But would not this hasten his own death?
43263CHAPTER VI WHO?
43263Ca n''t do much with it, can you?
43263Ca n''t you see how they''ll shape it up?"
43263Could such a sight fail to bring to the lips an awe- inspired cry?
43263Did a member of the gang try to do away with you so you could not testify?
43263Did he prefer it so?
43263Did his truck carry flour, melons, green corn, or moonshine?
43263Did it have a basement?
43263Did the new bus boy take cognizance of it on that first night of service?
43263Did they still wish to plead guilty?
43263Did they stop?
43263Did you drop them in the car?
43263Did you not know that?
43263Displaying two of these on the palm of his hand, he asked:"Are they alike?"
43263Do I have your permission?"
43263Do n''t mind a little music to lull you to the land of dreams?"
43263Do they belong to a well organized gang?
43263Do you always travel that way?"
43263Do you hear me?
43263Do you understand?"
43263Does our friend Hole- in- His- Hand belong to the holdup gang, or the fur store robbers?"
43263Does this seem strange?
43263Drew stepped up to Jimmy and patted him on the back, exclaiming:"How are you, son?"
43263For how is one to enjoy culture unless he has a lady on his arm?
43263For who can tell at what hour mail is collected from street boxes at night?
43263Fresh adventure?
43263Funny, ai n''t it?
43263Guilty, or not guilty?
43263Guilty, or not guilty?"
43263Had she gone to her cousin''s in Naperville?
43263Him?
43263How about him?
43263How did you expect to get his money back to him?
43263How did you mean to explain his loss to him?"
43263How had the Ramacciottis come into possession of this card?
43263How much more the wreck of a great man?
43263How was his man, his derelict?
43263How''d a leaf look to you?
43263How''d you look stripped?
43263How''ll I do it?''"
43263How?
43263Huh?
43263I--""Would you know the barn if you saw it?"
43263I--"But what was this?
43263If he pried one of them open could he escape?
43263If she failed again could she make her way back to the ladder?
43263If so, which one was connected with the attack upon you?
43263If that was the angle, was more than one major crime committed in that half hour?
43263If with the law breaker, was he interested in some dark doings of this night?
43263In the meantime, what of Johnny?
43263Is great happiness always followed by a touch of sadness?
43263Is it important?
43263Know how it works, do n''t you?"
43263Know what?
43263Knowing this, do you still wish to plead guilty?"
43263Leap forward?
43263Let him go, ca n''t you, Judge?"
43263Let him go, will you, Judge?"
43263May I ask you to assist us in this case?"
43263Mind company?"
43263Mystery?
43263Never heard of one, did you?
43263Now he was gliding slowly, surely forward-- to what?
43263Once more Drew demanded,"What was that?"
43263Or are you going?"
43263Or did he think?
43263Or is it collected at all between midnight and 6:00 A.M.?
43263Question is, what were the rascals about?
43263Ramacciotti?"
43263Regret it?"
43263Romance?
43263Same man?
43263See?
43263She had just reached the second shadow when she heard a gruff voice say:"What you shoot at?"
43263Should he shout a warning?
43263That right?"
43263That right?"
43263Them bullets?"
43263There were three cases that night, were n''t there?"
43263This, one would say, was an improvement, for who wishes to be seen grinning and gesturing at a telephone, as one is forever doing?
43263Upon what was this hatred based?
43263Very simple, is n''t it?
43263Was a big burglary in progress?
43263Was a shadow of the future stretching out to engulf her?
43263Was he listening for the call that would tell of the discovery of his band?
43263Was he recounting to them in detail the history of that mysterious arrow?
43263Was he right?
43263Was he to be expected to accompany the man to his home and see for himself that the truth was being told?
43263Was it important?
43263Was it impossible?
43263Was it some pal of these pickpockets?
43263Was she trying to help?
43263Was there, from time to time, about the corners of the slim bus boy''s lips on that night the suggestion of a smile?
43263Was this man sent up to silence the radio and prevent the squad call?
43263We--""You knew them?"
43263Were n''t wearing your star?"
43263Were not Johnny and Drew her friends?
43263What are you?"
43263What could be more natural?
43263What could have happened to it?"
43263What damage had it done?
43263What did it mean?
43263What do n''t they steal?
43263What do you say, Mills?"
43263What had he accomplished?
43263What is more wonderful than being sixteen?
43263What kind of work?
43263What luck this afternoon?"
43263What occupied his thoughts during these long hours?
43263What of Johnny''s arrow?
43263What one of them will face a hand in a coat pocket?"
43263What saved Johnny?
43263What should he do?
43263What should he say?
43263What thoughts filled his mind at this hour?
43263What was a"leaf?"
43263What was it?
43263What was that call?
43263What was to be done?
43263What was to come next?
43263What you think?
43263What''s the use?
43263What''s this?
43263When he suggested this to her he was astonished by the snapping of her black eyes as she exclaimed:"Me afraid?
43263When is he a hopeless derelict?"
43263Where are they?"
43263Where is he?"
43263Where is my father?"
43263Where lay his sympathies?
43263Where was the hand, the gun, the man?
43263Where was the intruder?
43263Where were they to be found?
43263Who can say what relief one may find, from surroundings that are terrible, by contemplating that which is beautiful, though very far away?
43263Who can say which one longed most for that land, mother or daughter?
43263Who can say?
43263Who can say?
43263Who can tell?"
43263Who could have told?
43263Who could say?
43263Who had beaten him up the night before?
43263Who had reported them?
43263Who has n''t?"
43263Who is to stand up against such an invisible force?"
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who knows?
43263Who was Rosy?
43263Who was this whirlwind?
43263Who were the culprits?
43263Who would n''t be?
43263Who would?
43263Who''s here?"
43263Who?
43263Whom did he have locked up?
43263Why did Drew room in this odd place?
43263Why did she live in that other shack among the walls of brick and mortar?
43263Why did this young man listen so intently?
43263Why did you do it?"
43263Why do n''t you?"
43263Why not a thousand like him, fresh from college, full of ideals, ready for fight?
43263Why not that?"
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why not?
43263Why?
43263Why?
43263Will I be like that in twenty years?"
43263Will she recall the face?
43263Will they get the bullets?
43263Will you?"
43263With the police, or with the law breaker?
43263Wo n''t we, Howe?"
43263Wonder why he carries a gun?
43263Would anything worth while come of this affair?
43263Would he be able to tell from the expressions on their faces when they saw him?
43263Would the gangsters hear?
43263Would they come to search for her?
43263Would they find her?
43263Yes?"
43263You heard Mills say there were no stool pigeons used in that kidnapping case we solved?"
43263You know him?"
43263You say this young man has told the truth?
43263You were getting off the car, were n''t you?"
43263You''re not afraid to fly?"
43263You''ve read detective stories?"
43263and Why?
46462''How do you ever come to know that?'' 46462 ''Next, gentlemen,''said I,''do you suspect anybody?''
46462''Where does your father live?'' 46462 A black, common- looking thing?"
46462All square with the landlord, then?
46462All what things?
46462An imprudent marriage probably?
46462And Mr. Lovell, did you observe how his voice shook? 46462 And is_ amount_ of any consequence to your friend?"
46462And where do you catch them?
46462And where does Levi Samuel live?
46462And where is that?
46462And which is the pleasantest road?
46462And yet,said I,"I think I have heard something about a Suitors''Fee Fund in those Courts above-- eh, Ficker?"
46462And you,I said;"how are you to escape?"
46462And your four victims are?
46462And_ was_ it Mesheck''s?
46462Any relation to M. le Breton''s fair correspondent''s Fidèle, I wonder?
46462Anything more?
46462Are the jury cases frequent?
46462As how?
46462Ay, truly; but what can_ you_ know of him? 46462 But his wife--_she_ is not a native of the principality?"
46462But how do they know that?
46462But perhaps you have not heard of these places?
46462But perhaps you will allow me to look at the indexes?
46462But pray where is the gold you mean to pay us with?
46462But what excuse can you make for remaining there, when they know you are booked for Kendal? 46462 But you do n''t mean,"said I,"that the suiters are made to pay £90,000 a year for what only costs £60,000?"
46462Call you that nothing?
46462Did I know him?
46462Did you not hear a noise below?
46462Do you know this house they intend to stop at?
46462Do you know where the Registry is?
46462Do you know where these screams come from?
46462Do you mean me and Henry?
46462Do you say so?
46462Do you think it probable,I eagerly asked,"that the_ Columbia_ will be obliged to put back into Plymouth?"
46462Do you think so? 46462 Do you think,"said the woman, after the lapse of about five minutes--"do you think Owen and his family will go with us?
46462Do you, sir?
46462Does Gates the attorney visit her?
46462Does it though? 46462 Doing a pretty good business here?"
46462Fences?
46462For what purpose, sir, are you instituting this eager search after my brother? 46462 From consideration chiefly, I dare say, for the age and infirmities of his lordship, and his numerous family?"
46462From whom came, then, these scraps of perfumed note- paper I have found in his desk I wonder?
46462Half- a- croone?
46462Hartley and Simpson you say?
46462Have you done anything to- day?
46462How am I to know,observed Mr. Lloyd, whose glance of pride had quickly passed away,"that you are dealing fairly and candidly with me in the matter?"
46462How came you acquainted with this robber''s haunts?
46462How came you to send those heavy boxes here, Jones?
46462How long does a defended case take?
46462I am of a different opinion; but tell me, what sort of a person is this former master of hers?
46462I think I have met you before,he remarked with a meaning smile on dismissing me,"when you occupied a different position from your present one?
46462I understood you had retired from amongst us; were in fact-- what shall I say?
46462Is Mr. Brown still within?
46462Is Sarah Purday,I asked the turnkey,"more reconciled to her position than she was?"
46462Is he dead? 46462 Is it give, sir?
46462Is it possible? 46462 Is not that fellow sober yet?"
46462Is that the law also with respect to bills of exchange?
46462Is that tower we see part of the abbey?
46462Is there_ any_ chance of recovering our property?
46462It is; and I am here to know what your singular advertisement means?
46462Jury cases occupy much longer?
46462Levasseur called you Marie Duquesne just now; but surely your name is Jaubert-- is it not?
46462Might he not have inadvertently left it there when with you?
46462Mr. B.? 46462 Mr. Ezekiel Grey?"
46462Never mind him; there were two twenties, were there not?
46462No female relative or acquaintance has n''t he?
46462Not rich apparently?
46462Not, marm?
46462Now, sir, on your oath, are they a portion of the property of which you have been robbed?
46462Now,said Mr. Ficker,"tell us what you all do for this money?"
46462Pray do you happen to know any thing of a family called Lovell?
46462Qu''est ce qu''il y a donc?
46462Rogers and his wife were not, I hope, cognizant of this?
46462Shall we wait any longer for him?
46462Sir,I replied, enclosing my left ear with my hand in the manner of a natural ear- trumpet,"did you speak?"
46462Supposing I could assist you,she at last said,"how would that help me?"
46462Tell me-- tell me, as you hope for life or mercy, where I may find my child?
46462The Miller?
46462The Registry; where they keep the wills?
46462Then it is lost?
46462Then, Mr. Bristowe,said the magistrate''s clerk,"assuming this curious narrative to be correct, you will be easily able to prove an_ alibi_?"
46462There is, I suppose, no vow registered in the matrimonial archives against_ looking on_ at a game played by others?
46462This brooch is yours?
46462This letter,said I,"is a very important one; but where is the envelop?"
46462Those men-- those fellows at Rugby-- where did you meet with them?
46462True-- true,she muttered:"how else should he know?
46462Very true,said I;"but suppose they had sixteen daughters, like a half- pay officer I once met on board a steam packet?"
46462Was it, Sir? 46462 Wat, vor telling me nought?"
46462Well, Barnes,I exclaimed as soon as we were in a room by ourselves, and the door closed,"what is it you have discovered?"
46462Well, that''s right enough: and now how much discount do you charge?
46462Well,said our friend,"what do you propose to give me for this?"
46462Well,she impatiently snarled,"suppose so; what then?"
46462What can this be?
46462What do you call this?
46462What do you guess? 46462 What do you mean by''school?''"
46462What dress did he wear when he left?
46462What for? 46462 What for?"
46462What has become of Monsieur?
46462What is it?
46462What is the lady''s name?
46462What is to be done then?
46462What post- mark does the letter bear?
46462What right,I answered with some heat,"have you, sir, to make such an insinuation?"
46462What shall I do-- what shall I do?
46462What sort of people were they?
46462What vessel is that?
46462What was the nature of the communication?
46462What_ is_ the meaning of this?
46462When do you mean to take them away? 46462 When do you say is the very earliest time she may be expected?"
46462When you received your instructions,said we,"you went away, and held a sort of Cabinet Council together?"
46462Where did you hide the soap on the day when you confess you tried to poison Henry Rogers?
46462Where do I catch them? 46462 Where does the remainder go?"
46462Where is Crawford?
46462Where is that? 46462 Where is the other boatman who came out with us?"
46462Who is always quarreling?
46462Why do they obey your orders so passively?
46462Why do you ask, mother?
46462Why have you not paid, sir?
46462Why, what is all this, Waters?
46462Why, what, in the name of all that''s comical, is the meaning of this?
46462Why?
46462Will it be early in the night, think you, that she will run in, if at all?
46462Would it not have been better to have sent them direct to Portsmouth, where the vessel calls?
46462Yes, Mr.Wat---- I beg pardon, Mr. What''s- your name, I would say?"
46462Yes-- and what then?
46462Yes: what do you want with him?
46462Yes: you know my cousin, Sophy Clarke? 46462 Yes; but what of that?
46462You are in possession, then, if Miss Caroline Lloyd is living with her father, of his precise place of abode?
46462You are mistaken,rejoined Owen;"there was a five- pound country note in it, and the loss will---- What is the matter, friend?"
46462You closely observed Sir Charles Malvern yesterday evening, I presume?
46462You have, I suppose, read the advertisements marked on these papers?
46462You know me, Mr. Skelton, and doubtless guess the meaning of my errand?
46462You know us then?
46462You quite understand, Waters, that Skelton is not for a moment to be lost sight of till his deposition has been taken?
46462You will accompany us, Waters?
46462_ Quite_ square?
46462_ The Columbia!_ Why, when did she arrive?
46462''An''t it?''
46462''Any letters for Mr. Thomas Pigeon?''
46462''At work all night?''
46462''Bobbish,''he says;''but who''s that with you?''
46462''But why all this secrecy?''
46462''Did you get''em from Mr. Trinkle, direct,''says I,''if you''ll excuse my asking the question?''
46462''Expected home soon?''
46462''Good morning, Sir,''says he''Would you allow me to inquire, Sir,''says I,''if you ever had any acquaintance with a party of the name of Grimwood?''
46462''Happen to have heard of a young woman being murdered there?''
46462''Have you any idea who cleaned them?''
46462''How are you?''
46462''How do you find yourself?''
46462''I ai n''t in partickler want of a bargain just now,''he says,''but where is it?''
46462''I hope you''ll let me have my coat?''
46462''Is there a Mr. John Pigeon staying here?''
46462''No?''
46462''No?''
46462''Perhaps_ you_ would n''t object to a drain?''
46462''Rising eight, is he?''
46462''Then you know who cleaned''em?''
46462''Then, perhaps,''says I, taking the gloves out of my pocket,''you can tell me who cleaned this pair of gloves?
46462''We''ll have two more, Missis,''said the friends,''and con- found you, Constable, you''ll give your man a drop, wo n''t you?''
46462''Well,''he says,''what do you want for it?''
46462''What are you doing here?
46462''What do you say now?
46462''Where do you come from?''
46462''Whose gloves are these?''
46462''Why, in the name of wonder,''says me and Mr. Tatt, in astonishment,''how did you come by that?''
46462''Will you allow me to call him over here,''says he,''that his father may not see it done?''
46462''Would you come round with me now?''
46462''You ai n''t a Baker?''
46462''You did n''t happen to remark what the post- mark was, perhaps?''
46462''You do n''t mean that?''
46462''You have got an ostler, I suppose?''
46462''You know the Waterloo Road?''
46462''You''re a glove cleaner, are you?''
46462A few have done something fraudulent in"contempt"of all law and equity; but is not even_ their_ punishment greater than their crime?
46462A few weeks ago, it was nothing like so magnificent?"
46462A silence of a minute or two succeeded, and then Levasseur said,"You are of course prepared for business?"
46462After staring and rubbing his chin for some time longer, he replied with the unexpected question--"Do you like bacon?"
46462And-- now I remember-- what did you say was the lady''s name?"
46462Are you ready?"
46462As he grew flushed and rosy, and I therefore imagined communicative, I said,"Well, now, tell me who and what is that lady?"
46462As soon as we had gone about a hundred paces from the house, I said,"Pray can you tell me which is Mr. Lloyd the beech- merchant''s house?"
46462At last, he came, per steamboat, and I took him, and lodged him in a New York Prison called the Tombs; which I dare say you know, Sir?"
46462Because the reason why?
46462But I suppose you''d stand by me, now, if I wanted a boy to help me in a little skirmish?"
46462But for that I-- I---- What do you stare at me so for, you infernal blue- bottle?
46462But here we are; what do you take-- port?"
46462But how is it your dress has become so suddenly changed?
46462But how was he to support his mother''s grief?
46462But is there any tangible evidence to justify this horrible suspicion?"
46462But the clerk was bothered, and did n''t know whether it was him, or wasn''t-- because the reason why?
46462But the wages was-- ha, ha, ha!--was not sufficient, and I never could suit myself, do n''t you see?
46462But what evidence have you to support your assertion?"
46462But what will not an enthusiastic antiquary dare, in his loved pursuit?
46462By the way, how are the other fees distributed?"
46462By the way, why should not the same option be given to suitors in Westminster Hall as is given in the County Courts?"
46462Can nothing be done?
46462Can ye do anything for me?"
46462Can you show it me?
46462Could he have access to the documents themselves?
46462Could you find him anywheres?''
46462Did he know where the ecclesiastical records were kept?
46462Did n''t you obsarve him jump into the main chains of the barkey jist as you wor leavin''on her, and cast us off a minute afterwards?
46462Did_ he_ complain?
46462Dinner was just over when Mrs. Lloyd said,"Oh, Mr. Jones, have you seen anything of my husband''s pocket- book?
46462Do n''t you hear the muffled drums?
46462Do you begin to perceive my drift?"
46462Do you recognize it-- fool, idiot that you are?"
46462Fikey at home?''
46462First- rate, is n''t it?
46462GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY?
46462Have these gloves been cleaned?''
46462Have you seen a ghost?"
46462Have you_ no_ respect for antiquity?"
46462He had assured them he would do so, but where was he to get the money?
46462He was silent for a few moments, and then he bawled out:"She''ll swing for it, they say-- swing for it, d''ye hear, dame?
46462He would be asked where he sat at the supper?
46462Him in the green coat?''
46462His figure expanded with a burst of indignation, which presently exploded in the interrogative interjection,"What?"
46462How came I not to think of this before?
46462How could he know so well?
46462How do you know that?"
46462How else could they account for their tears, their confusion, their bewilderment, their despair?
46462How meet the eye of the girl he loved?
46462How should I otherwise have become acquainted with these particulars?"
46462How were they to judge?
46462I asked, desirous of taking immediate, but not, I hope, unfair advantage of the rascal''s terror;"she who witnessed this lady''s marriage?"
46462I believe you sent this pair of gloves to be cleaned?''
46462I exclaimed with unfeigned surprise,"why, what on earth can you be waiting here for on such a night as this?"
46462I exclaimed, for the first time breaking silence--"what could there be to reveal?"
46462I hesitated a few seconds, and then said,"I have no great objection; but first, whom have I the honor of addressing?"
46462I presume these are the thousands of causes a- year withdrawn from the superior Courts?"
46462I says,''is that where they hang the men?
46462I then asked him to what intent he had left the notes with the young lady?
46462I transact business now for Mr. Everard Preston: you understand?"
46462I was not aware that you knew him?"
46462I was silent; and presently he gasped:"Wha-- at, what have I said?"
46462I''m come out of Northamptonshire, and I''m quite lonely here, for I do n''t know London at all, and it''s such a mighty big town?''
46462If thieving be an Art( and who denies that its more subtle and delicate branches deserve to be ranked as one of the Fine Arts?
46462Is he alone?"
46462Is this''administration of justice?''"
46462It''s a funeral, but where''s the grave?"
46462Mr. Smith, senior, ordered his dinner; and Mr. Lloyd and Arthur Smith-- but why need I attempt to relate what_ they_ did?
46462Mr. William Wallace inquired if that was to be the answer he was expected to convey to the Archbishop?
46462Not the Gates, I hope, in the late Bryant affair?"
46462Not_ pretty_ Mary Kingsford now then, I suppose?"
46462Now, have you your memorandum- book ready?"
46462Now, what is the plan of operations for carrying off the booty?"
46462Oh, good luck to you, sir; can you do nothing for me?"
46462On the look out for some of your old friends?''
46462Perhaps you''ll beckon him over here?''
46462Perhaps you''ll give us a look in, Butcher?''
46462Phibbs in the way?''
46462Presently she said with a sneer,"You are afraid, I suppose?"
46462Rather say you came to improve your acquaintance with the lady yonder, who, I dare say, will not prove ultimately inflexible?"
46462Shepherdson?''
46462So lucky for me, is it not, since I must go to service?
46462Stay; ca n''t you get assistance?"
46462Still, do you think it would be of any use to sound Rivers?
46462Still, should the clerk recognize me?
46462Surely you are not_ yet_ fallen so low as to be the associate or accomplice of burglars?"
46462Tell me, first of all, what you put in the stocking, you unfortunate blunderer?"
46462The following short dialogue occurred between him and the clerk:--"Pray,"said Mr. Wallace,"where are the Wills kept?"
46462The mysterious stranger makes some enquiry about"any cash?"
46462This premised, is there, think you, anything remarkable in Sir Charles''s demeanor?"
46462This, you will agree, seemed perfectly satisfactory?"
46462Upon Mary replying that she did not comprehend him, his look became absolutely ferocious, and he exclaimed:"Oh, that''s your game, is it?
46462Was Armstrong a drinking, a gaming, or a play- going man?
46462Waters and Emily quite well?"
46462Waters,"she exclaimed, in a changed, palpitating voice, as I was passing forth;"when all is done, you will not forget me?"
46462Waters?"
46462Waters?"
46462What are you going to do with him?''
46462What can it be?"
46462What could the poor man do?
46462What did he want to search for?
46462What do you say to a glass or two of wine, if only to keep this confounded wind out of our stomachs?
46462What does he give, and how does he dispose of them?"
46462What does the prosecutor say the brooch is worth?"
46462What does_ he_ do here?''
46462What has_ he_ to do with hope?
46462What is your opinion now of the prospects of the ministry?"
46462What plan of operations do you propose?"
46462What signifies, so you''re happy?"
46462What sort of a person is he?"
46462What was to be done next?
46462What''s the matter dear?
46462What?
46462What?
46462What_ could_ it mean?
46462When the debt appeared to be_ primâ facie_ proved, the Barrister turned to the defendant, and perhaps asked him if he disputed it?
46462Where is she?"
46462Who could have thought it?
46462Who is your friend?"
46462Who would not have pitied Lovell, when, livid with horror and conscious guilt, he vainly tried to say something?
46462Why is this?
46462Why more Police- officers?
46462Why should you doubt me?"
46462Why, what in the name of Mercury could a detachment of the swell- mob be wanting in that country of furze and frieze- coats?
46462Wield?''
46462Would you discount their twenty thousand a year by even a fraction per cent?
46462Would you do me a favor, and post this for me, as it is so wet?''
46462You are an English Jew I perceive?"
46462You are doubtless acquainted with the full particulars of the robbery at my residence, Brook Street, last Thursday fortnight?"
46462You are not perhaps acquainted with his handwriting?"
46462You could n''t make it convenient to call again, could you?''
46462You have every confidence in your maids; but what_ can_ you think?
46462You have heard of this young man''s father?"
46462You have no objection to accompany me to the superintendent?"
46462You have of course an accurate description of the persons of Williams and his wife ready?"
46462You understand?"
46462You understand?"
46462You want to find Jem Martin?"
46462You will not fail me?"
46462_ Barrister._ Will a month do, Mr. Docket?
46462_ Plaintiff''s Attorney._ Your honor will give us speedy recovery?
46462and does he live near here?"
46462and smoke our pipes, do n''t you see?
46462and so on?
46462and they says,''Now you''ll know it agen, wo n''t you?''
46462and what are you driving at?"
46462he at last stammered, feebly accepting my proffered grasp--"who would have thought of meeting you here?"
46462he burst out,"how are you off for soap?
46462he exclaimed,"what is this?"
46462how are you?''
46462is his brother here?''
46462is that you?''
46462replied Jackson;"why, money of course: what else?
46462roared Sandford,"do you hold your life so cheap?"
46462said the countryman,"Wat vor?"
46462says Mr. Phibbs, again;''can nothing be done?''
46462screamed the fellow, half dead with fear, and slipping down on a chair;"what shall I do to save my life-- my life?"
46462tall gentleman, with light hair?
46462that''s him in the shop, is it?
46462was it, eh?
46462what''s that?"
46462where the prisoner sat, and each of the other guests?
48313About what?
48313After all,said she,"''tisn''t the money that''s done wrong; why should I punish it?"
48313And I suppose the road''s as free to us as''tis to you?
48313And about the clubs?
48313And are you well enough yet to undertake an odd job in it?
48313And did you ever publish one?
48313And do you know how to lock up a form?
48313And how are you going to publish it?
48313And how far is the pasture?
48313And how many do you think they would sell?
48313And how much will it cost to make a muddle, Edmund Burton?
48313And how much would that cost?
48313And how shall I manage it?
48313And if that other line ended with_ cheek_, would he have to call it a_ league_ from the Four Corners to Lyell street?
48313And is that all?
48313And is that considered all right?
48313And now what color will you have?
48313And now,continued Ned,"how would you go to work to introduce it?
48313And so you got it be goin''after pawnbrokers, and be workin''on Sunday?
48313And the other?
48313And the other?
48313And then what?
48313And water does what to fire?
48313And what do you understand by that?
48313And what do you want me to do about it?
48313And what do you want the ten dollars for?
48313And what is the price of admission?
48313And when ice is melted, it becomes what?
48313And where do they have any that is less slimpsy?
48313And where would be the best place to build it?
48313And who are your actors?
48313And who told Berny Rourke?
48313And who told Lukey Finnerty?
48313And who told Owney Geoghegan?
48313And who told Patsy Rafferty?
48313And who told Teddy Dwyer?
48313And why was n''t that a good plan?
48313And will Jimmy''s have to be tied?
48313And would there be a tub at the other end,said Ned"to catch the passengers that were broken to pieces against the end wall?"
48313And you do n''t get some more next Saturday night?
48313And you probably answer somewhat more readily when they call?
48313And you think I ought to furnish that brother of yours the money necessary to make a proper muddle of this thing?
48313Are you going to get the kites and harness her up again, Fay?
48313Are you sick, Jimmy?
48313Are you trying to ruin the office?
48313Aunty,said he, sympathetically,"do n''t you ever feel afraid of fire?"
48313But I say, Roe,continued Holman,"who in the world could have told them so?"
48313But I suppose he must be hurt, though?
48313But do n''t you suppose,said Phaeton,"that as soon as it was dark, some fellow went out quietly in a little skiff, and dove for the rings?
48313But have you made any other tracings of it besides the one Jack- in- the- Box has?
48313But how are we going to get a lock for this door?
48313But how can I get on again?
48313But how can you set the type?
48313But how did you get out?
48313But if you tell her that, will she let you have the money?
48313But what about the dog?
48313But what are we going to do about that dreadful card?
48313But what is it for?
48313But what is the use of trying to be too smart? 48313 But what use will the car be to him?"
48313But where would our profits come from?
48313But who is going to publish this book for you?
48313But would n''t it use up a cable every time you cut it?
48313But, I suppose you know all about how it''s done?
48313Ca n''t we prevent it?
48313Ca n''t you make him go faster, Fay?
48313Ca n''t you make up your mind to do it, if I double the price?
48313Ca n''t you tell by the feathers?
48313Can you go?
48313Clever fellers, them railroad men,said the chief engineer;"but what''s your machine for?"
48313Could n''t I, at least, pay the doctor''s bill?
48313Could n''t you name it for us?
48313Did he have a gag- bit?
48313Did n''t eh? 48313 Did n''t he say_ pre_servative?"
48313Did n''t you say,said the Dublin boy,"you''d give a dollar to any boy that could beat your machine in a mile run?"
48313Did you hear how they knocked Mr. Glidden''s house and furniture to pieces at the last fire?
48313Did you print this?
48313Did you say the kind_ they_ stuff, or the kind_ of_ stuff? 48313 Did you want to know about my brother Jimmy?"
48313Did, eh?
48313Do n''t you call it bad to go around slyly in the night and nail up every door and window in the house?
48313Do n''t you know better than to pi a form, and then throw the pi into the cases? 48313 Do n''t you know that scissors must be ground on the edge of the blade, not on the side, like a knife?
48313Do n''t you know what dodgers are?
48313Do n''t you see, the ground is holding it?
48313Do n''t you suppose I have provided for that?
48313Do you find many mistakes?
48313Do you know anything about printing?
48313Do you know of anything we can do for him?
48313Do you know the history of Venice?
48313Do you mean to say that you have been buying a font of type with no Es in it?
48313Do you suppose Fay can really make anything out of this machine?
48313Do you take me for a cook?
48313Do you think so?
48313Do you think so?
48313Does your uncle''s horse go very fast?
48313Fay, what sort of wood is this?
48313For the information you kindly gave us about your invention?
48313Gone home with the chariot?
48313Got anything new to- day?
48313Has Phaeton ever been on a horse?
48313Has your Aunt Mercy given you money to make a muddle of it?
48313He''d be sure to say it was; but then what?
48313Horseshoes, or human shoes?
48313How can it have been tried?
48313How can you do it?
48313How could he know what kind of fish it was that robbed his hook?
48313How did it happen?
48313How did you happen to do that?
48313How do you accomplish it?
48313How do you account for that?
48313How do you amuse yourself, Jimmy?
48313How do you do to- day, Jack?
48313How do you know that, young man?
48313How do you propose to get them?
48313How do you think he''d like that, done in two colors?
48313How does it work?
48313How is it?
48313How is that?
48313How is that?
48313How is this, Biddy?
48313How much are they worth?
48313How much for a spy glass?
48313How much have you got?
48313How much is that?
48313How much money do you need for your new muddle?
48313How much money would it take for that?
48313How much powder will you have?
48313How much will it take for a good muddle, Edmund Burton?
48313How much will it take?
48313How so?
48313How so?
48313How so?
48313How so?
48313How will you do it?
48313How would you get them up?
48313I have a fine, clear eye,said another;"ca n''t I help yez aim the pipe?"
48313I know you can smother a small fire with a thick blanket,said Jack,"but how are you going to smother a whole house, when it is in a blaze?"
48313I say,said one of the Dublin boys,"why do n''t you put up the stake before we start?"
48313I suppose in winter you would have the water warmed?
48313I suppose the boys are more numerous than your parents?
48313If I catch one?
48313If your house should take fire in the night, and burn up the stairs the first thing, how would you get out?
48313If-- I-- catch-- one? 48313 Indeed?"
48313Is Professor Adams present?
48313Is it a sign?
48313Is it?
48313Is that the way you''ve ground them all?
48313Is there anything I can do for you to- day?
48313Is this all you have?
48313Is this all, Biddy?
48313Is this the Mr. Burton who was dead long ago?
48313Jack,said Ned, as soon as we arrived at the Box,"did you ever stuff a fish?"
48313Jack,said he,"did you ever publish a book?"
48313Labels?
48313Like what?
48313Mr. Rogers''s boy, eh?
48313Ned,said he,"do n''t you want to lend me the ten dollars that Aunt Mercy gave you last week?"
48313Nobody hurt, I hope?
48313Not know your own name? 48313 Not your name?"
48313Now, how much should you say a fellow would probably get for one of this sort?
48313Of course not,said Phaeton;"but what can you do without Es?
48313Oh, is that you, Fay?
48313Oh, it is n''t prepared yet?
48313Oh, was it?
48313Old shoes?
48313One?
48313Phaeton,said I,"you forgot to throw off my coat when you went to work with the axe, did n''t you?"
48313Phaeton,said he,"will you please stand here and flag a special freight train that will come along in about ten minutes?"
48313Poetry?
48313Run him, will you?
48313Shall I hit him?
48313Should you say as much as a hundred dollars, Jack?
48313Sir?
48313So you''re the one he sends in, are you?
48313Something you want me to furnish money to make a muddle of, I suppose?
48313Soup, or bread- and- milk, for every meal?
48313Suppose it was an accident,said Ned;"the question is,_ whose_ accident was it?
48313That''s all true,said Jack;"but how do you apply it to lightning- rods?"
48313The Bowl System? 48313 The Es are gone?"
48313The kind-- they-- stuff?
48313The question is, are you going to put up the money?
48313The question is, what_ is_ best?
48313Then I suppose you could help yourself to all the capital you want, out of the bowl?
48313Then it has n''t brought you much good luck, so far, has it?
48313Then what in the world is it? 48313 Then what will you do with the fifteen dollars?"
48313Then why did n''t you say so in the first place?
48313Then why did n''t you tell us that before?
48313Then you know something about it?
48313Then you think he will get well?
48313Then, what must we do?
48313These poems?--were you going to publish them?
48313Those look well, do n''t they?
48313To prevent them from burning?
48313Was he?
48313Was it?
48313Was n''t it, Jimmy?
48313Was there a full account of the other ceremonies at that wedding?
48313Well, then, tell us honestly,said Ned,--"where would you introduce it first?
48313Well, then, what do you think is the next best place?
48313Well, then, what''s this?
48313Well, what then?
48313What I want to get at,said Ned,"is this: how much is a fish worth that''s suitable for stuffing?"
48313What about riding over the dog?
48313What are the other things?
48313What are they?
48313What are you doing? 48313 What are you laughing about?"
48313What are you making, Fay?
48313What are you making, Fay?
48313What can we make it of?
48313What can you do?
48313What clubs?
48313What could happen?
48313What did Jack- in- the- Box say to it?
48313What difference does that make?
48313What do I care about going it boots? 48313 What do you call that?"
48313What do you make of that young man?
48313What do you mean by that?
48313What do you mean?
48313What do you mean?
48313What do you mean?
48313What do you say, Fay?
48313What do you think has happened now?
48313What do you think of doing?
48313What do you think of it?
48313What do you want?
48313What does fire do to ice?
48313What does he mean by taking an axe?
48313What does it mean?
48313What feathers?
48313What for?
48313What have you been doing, I should like to know? 48313 What in the world are those boys doing in that barouche?"
48313What is a Limerick hook?
48313What is it? 48313 What is it?"
48313What is it?
48313What is it?
48313What is it?
48313What is it?
48313What is it?
48313What is it?
48313What is poetic license?
48313What is that?
48313What is your name?
48313What is your second invention?
48313What poem did Jimmy write for Isaac Holman?
48313What shall we do?
48313What shall we do?
48313What sort of invention? 48313 What was all that for?"
48313What was it?
48313What were you going to say, Edmund Burton, about poor Jimmy Redmond?
48313What''s new down at your house?
48313What''s that, Edmund Burton?
48313What''s that?
48313What''s that?
48313What''s that?
48313What''s that?
48313What''s the matter?
48313What''s the news, Aunty?
48313What''s the other way of getting the thing into operation?
48313What''s what?
48313What?
48313What?
48313When do you want to go to work?
48313When will it be ready?
48313When will you go?
48313Where are they?
48313Where can we get it?
48313Where did you find it?
48313Where did you get it?
48313Where did you get this, Monkey?
48313Where did you get this?
48313Where is the fly now?
48313Where is the title- page?
48313Where''s Fay?
48313Where''s Patsy?
48313Which way do you want it?
48313Who did the blacksmith work for you, Fay?
48313Who is Jack- in- the- Box?
48313Who rides first?
48313Who was he?
48313Who would want to steal it or damage it?
48313Who''s holding it?
48313Whose chairs are they?
48313Why did n''t you bring the book?
48313Why did you make your ladder so short?
48313Why do n''t you back him?
48313Why do n''t you call yourself George Washington''s boy, while you''re about it?
48313Why do n''t you make him go?
48313Why do n''t you open that gate?
48313Why do n''t you patent it, Edmund Burton?
48313Why do n''t you put the money into the bank?
48313Why is he carrying away that kite?
48313Why not, uncle?
48313Why not?
48313Why not?
48313Why not?
48313Why not?
48313Why not?
48313Why not?
48313Why should I lend you my ten dollars?
48313Why so, Biddy?
48313Why so?
48313Why, do n''t you know that?
48313Why, do n''t you know?
48313Why, do n''t you know?
48313Why, is that all it''s for?
48313Why, what''s the matter?
48313Why?
48313Why?
48313Will it make us a fortune apiece?
48313Will you lend me the money to try it?
48313Will you make those? 48313 Would n''t some people oppose it?"
48313Would you be willing to look at another invention for us?
48313Would, eh?
48313Y- e- s,said Phaeton, with a deep sigh;"and is_ that_ all?"
48313Yes, of course it is,said I;"but what does it mean?"
48313Yes, of course-- why?
48313Yes; but why were they allowed to do so?
48313Yes; why? 48313 You admit that it was bad, then?"
48313You can make money on a book, ca n''t you?
48313You do n''t even know the case, do you?
48313You go up to the couple, and shake hands, and if you''re a girl you kiss the bride-- What did you say? 48313 You mean to let her know that it''s Phaeton''s invention, and not yours?"
48313You?
48313--but"Who rides first?"
48313A new invention?"
48313And besides, what would become of you and Ned?
48313And how do you suppose I am going to print for you, unless I know what to print?"
48313And if there was a mortgage on our tunnel, and they foreclosed it while we were in there, what would become of us?
48313And who would n''t rather have a volume of Jimmy''s poems than a bushel of wheat?
48313And who''s ever going to sit in such awkward- looking old things as those?"
48313Another foolish invention?"
48313Are you going to take a pistol?"
48313But after we''ve left the horse in the pasture, how are we to get back past the dog?"
48313But did none of you call for Miss Glidden?"
48313But how came you to know that about Fay and Jimmy and Holman?"
48313But what of it?"
48313But what of that?
48313But, by the way, Fay, what are you going to do with the twenty dollars you''ve won?
48313Ca n''t you tell them to get Dr. Campbell?
48313Do n''t you know me?"
48313Do n''t you see the paint peeling off already?"
48313Do n''t you understand?
48313Do poets ever repair poetry, as well as make it new?"
48313Do you suppose anything can have happened to him?"
48313Do you think Jimmy''s croaking artery will have to be tied up, Jack?
48313Do you think of any good way in which I could help him with a little capital?"
48313Have n''t you ever noticed that the smaller and snarlier and more worthless a dog is, the surer it is to be called Prince?"
48313Have you given out many of these cards?"
48313Have you made a muddle yet?"
48313How are you?
48313How does he suppose he''s going to make men of us, if we never begin to do anything manly?"
48313How should we ever get out?"
48313How''s that?"
48313However, he soon plucked up courage, and said, with a roguish twinkle:"Mother, will you please lend me two dollars of my money?"
48313I observed that he wore a broad belt of red leather, on which was inscribed the legend: WE HAVE CAN AND WILL"Monkey,"said I,"what''s that?"
48313I suppose you both know what a mortar is?"
48313Is n''t there some way to make more money out of it?"
48313Is this the manuscript?"
48313Of course it was_ totus dexter_,--and who''s the boy that uses that classic expression?
48313Or would you go slow, and try it first in this town, on a rather small scale?"
48313Rogers''before, were you?"
48313Still, I was comforted that he had not merely said,"Who rides?"
48313Suppose he has n''t any show, and never will have one-- what of it?
48313Suppose you came to the five mechanical powers, and the line before ended with_ sticks_, what could you do?
48313This excited a laugh of derision from another, who inquired whether the man with the fine, clear eye"did n''t know a pipe from a chube?"
48313What do you suppose could have become of the Es?"
48313What doctor do they have?"
48313What does this mean?"
48313What odds?
48313What sort of a railroad would that be?"
48313What then?
48313What then?
48313What will you take?"
48313What''s that?"
48313What''s the harm in that?"
48313What_ do_ you mean?"
48313When I was about to sit down at the tea- table, that evening, Mother exclaimed:"What in the world ails your hands?"
48313Where have you been all this time?"
48313Where would you advise us to put it first?"
48313Which do you think you would like best, Jimmy?"
48313Who do you think would be the best person for him to talk with?"
48313Who told you so?"
48313Who''d want to read about such a dreadful thing?
48313Why did you always refuse to look at a newspaper?"
48313Wo n''t the printer make it himself?"
48313Would you go to New York, and build it under Broadway at once?
48313You admit that?"
48313and get all wet?"
48313aspire t ove regard?
48313exclaimed Holman,"does she think I''m Hercules?"
48313or do we buy them?"
48313said Ned, interrupting,"the little yellow cur that Joe bought of Clam Jimmy for a six- pence?"
48313said Ned,"or only one fortune, to be divided up among the company?"
48313said Ned--"merely your own amusement?"
48313said Phaeton,"why did you print this thing before we had seen it?"
48313what did your brother do in the printing- office?"
48313|+-------------------+"Where''s your show going to be?"
38144''What the devil''s wrong with you? 38144 A good memory is useful; but do you wish me to return the compliment?"
38144Afraid of committing yourself? 38144 Air you poor and wicked?"
38144All went off quietly?
38144And Rancher Ormesby?
38144And so you are going back to- morrow to your cattle?
38144And we are not likely to be acquainted? 38144 And what do you gain-- the right to work still harder?"
38144And where did you come in?
38144And you are waiting revenge?
38144Any partners?
38144Are n''t you a little premature? 38144 Are n''t you asking useless questions?
38144Are you not taking a big risk, and why do n''t you exploit a safer district?
38144Are you sure you are not mistaken, Rancher Ormesby? 38144 Ay?"
38144Bad news?
38144But a few of what you would call British prejudices still cling to me, and I take cigars and things only from my friends-- you see?
38144But are we not drifting, as we have done before, into a profitless discussion of subjects neither of us knows much about? 38144 But in regard to the other, would not the effort be proof enough?
38144But what about the profit?
38144But what about the stock? 38144 But what ails ye that ye''re drawing bridle, Harry Ormesby?"
38144But you are following him still, are you not?
38144But, if there is anything going on, say, some plan for the exploitation of this district in opposition to Lane, can I not take my part in it?
38144Ca n''t you see that if I bolted now it would suit nobody better than Lane? 38144 Ca n''t you see the best this news may have made possible to me?"
38144Ca n''t you speak a little more directly?
38144Can you do it, Harry?
38144Can you hear us? 38144 Can you not be satisfied with the possibility of your being mistaken?"
38144Can you not do the first thing I ask you without asking questions?
38144Could anybody doubt it after to- day?
38144Did he look pleased at your diligence?
38144Did the confounded rascal know there was a warrant out?
38144Did you ever see a silver match- box in his possession, and, if so, could you describe it?
38144Did you get the stock clear?
38144Did you know that you could have earned a good many dollars by telling the police as much?
38144Did you see anything except groceries in it?
38144Did you see him lead the horses out?
38144Did you suggest that he should?
38144Did you tell Miss Haldane you were running a risk?
38144Did you twice do a great kindness for me?
38144Do n''t you know that Sally will leave here as Mrs. Thorn in a few weeks or so?
38144Do n''t you think everybody should make the most of all that''s in them?
38144Do n''t you think the trespass was almost justifiable?
38144Do ye know of any reason why he should have drowned himself?
38144Do you accept the offer?
38144Do you figure Lane would come out hundreds of miles for your old crockery? 38144 Do you know anything of this?"
38144Do you know that it is a little disconcerting to be watched when at work?
38144Do you know that you are destroying a good many dollars''worth of harness?
38144Do you know that you are disgracing me forever, Miss Haldane?
38144Do you know where Redmond is?
38144Do you know where little boys who tell all they hear go to?
38144Do you know where the man is now?
38144Do you know who he is, Ormesby?
38144Do you think this frost will hold, Ormesby?
38144Do you think you can run up a contra account in that way, Ormesby?
38144Do you wish me to say that you would look well in anything?
38144Feel more like letting me foreclose on you?
38144Feel quite sure?
38144Feeling pretty fit this morning?
38144For instance?
38144For instance?
38144Gotsh any papersh to prove objection?
38144Had ye any other hired man than Wilkins?
38144Has Cotton returned?
38144Has Dixon been down here?
38144Has he got a hold on your master, too? 38144 Has sudden prosperity also rendered you incapable of expressing your thoughts in speech?"
38144Have ye seen him?
38144Have you any authority to prevent me?
38144Have you forgotten me?
38144Have you forgotten the virtues of civilized self- restraint?
38144Have you no information whatever as to why he has absented himself?
38144Have you not forgotten that evening yet?
38144Have you seen anything of Sally?
38144How could that be? 38144 How could that be?"
38144How did ye happen to come to Gaspard''s Trail, Henry Ormesby?
38144How did you come here instead of Gardiner; and how do you know there is anything for you to trouble about?
38144How did you get me out?
38144How does this fit me?
38144How long have you set up as a model of discretion, Steel? 38144 How often have you seen me?"
38144How was it that when they had, or should have had, time enough, Henderson''s man and Redmond did not stop the cattle bunching in the fence? 38144 How?"
38144I ca n''t offer you advice?
38144I dare say we might make a workable arrangement, and I could n''t find a better partner; but have n''t you Sally''s interests to consider?
38144I hope you are not badly hurt?
38144I hope your health is not failing you again, sir?
38144I mean, has he a tolerably level head, or is he one of the discipline- made machines who can comprehend nothing not included in their code of rules?
38144I owe my escape solely to a lady''s courage and your skill, Dixon; but why did n''t you try to implicate Lane?
38144I presume my housekeeper did not eject you without some reason?
38144I presume you have no objections to my wishing you good luck?
38144I should never have forgiven myself if you had been injured; but are you-- quite-- sure that you are none the worse?
38144I want to ask why you spoke as you did a little while ago?
38144I''m obliged to you, Redmond, for suggesting that you would take my draft along; but why did n''t you come in and take supper with the rest? 38144 I?"
38144If it isn''t--and Steel frowned at the harness he was mending--"what will we poor fools do?"
38144Is Miss Haldane or your father on board the train?
38144Is anyone willing to offer security?
38144Is it all worth while, and how long have you been so ambitious?
38144Is it fair to ask, are you satisfied with-- this?
38144Is it necessary for me to read any more of these?
38144Is it permissible to ask any questions?
38144Is it quite impossible for you to hurry?
38144Is not all that water getting dangerous?
38144Is not that sufficient to justify your resting a little?
38144Is there anyone willing to exceed this ridiculous figure? 38144 Is there nothing among all those papers worth your attention, or have you taken an interest in embroidery?"
38144It is a beautiful piece of maple, and why do you wish to destroy it?
38144It is no business of mine, Cotton, but in return for your compliments I ca n''t help asking, do you think Haldane would appreciate it?
38144It is not very convincing-- but what could you say? 38144 It was my man Wilkins warned you?"
38144It''s a plain question-- how does this thing fit me?
38144Kind of surprise party, is n''t it, Ormesby?
38144Man, did I not tell ye?
38144May I ask why you bid at all for my recent property? 38144 May one compliment you on your powers of memory?
38144Must you always make a bargain? 38144 No; you can stop out there-- isn''t all the prairie big enough for you?
38144No?
38144No?
38144No?
38144Noo will ye answer? 38144 Of course you arranged with Haldane to send you assistance?"
38144Particular kind of trooper that one, is n''t he? 38144 Peeling potatoes?"
38144Planning your campaign for next year?
38144Presumably you find Miss Lucille understands you better?
38144Quaint, is n''t it, that it should be a man of Ormesby''s kind who most helped to bring me up? 38144 Quite sure?"
38144Say, are you doing this for a wager, or are some mad cow- chasers after you?
38144Say, officer, had n''t you better begin?
38144Say, was you forgotten when brains were given out? 38144 Shall we turn back?"
38144Should n''t it be the reverse? 38144 Supposing the Bonaventure brand had not been on that draft, and Lane''s men retained possession, what would ye have done?"
38144Thank God!--but where is Beatrice?
38144That is plain; but what results from it?
38144The horses, too? 38144 The management of Bonaventure?"
38144The question is, what do you want from me?
38144Then is there no explanation?
38144Then suppose one admitted you had surmised correctly?
38144Then what do you want to go back for, anyway?
38144Then what''s the matter with the cheerfulness?
38144Then--and Ailin Redmond seemed to shiver a little--"do you think there are no ghosts on the prairie?"
38144Then, if I may ask the question, why not abandon altogether an occupation which tries you, sir?
38144There is no need for my poor compliments after the verdict of the multitude; but did you sing that song to us?
38144There''s a little favor I want to ask of you, Ormesby, but I suppose you are all in one another''s confidence?
38144They are kind people in this country; but how could the women worry you? 38144 They could n''t put him in prison?"
38144Think you could have done it any better yourself?
38144To one of the superior sex; but are you not forgetting that this season the heavens fought for you? 38144 Visit Bonaventure?"
38144Was anybody calling?
38144Was n''t it foolish of you?
38144We have not the stock to sell; and would n''t it be a trifle hard on innocent shareholders?
38144What are ye wanting, boys?
38144What business had ye with him?
38144What can this mean? 38144 What did they say next?"
38144What did you think about our guests?
38144What did you think of Sally? 38144 What did you think of it?"
38144What do you mean? 38144 What do you think of this amusement, Ormesby?
38144What has brought you here?
38144What has happened, Mr. Ormesby? 38144 What has surprised you?"
38144What have you done to come to this?
38144What in heaven''s name brought-- you-- to Canada, Charlie Cotton, and thrust you in my way? 38144 What is his business?"
38144What is the meaning of this, Cotton?
38144What kept you so long, Ormesby? 38144 What mischief has she been contriving now?"
38144What place is this?
38144What reason have you to infer that any other man was concerned in the purchase of Gaspard''s Trail?
38144What were ye meaning, Rancher Ormesby?
38144What were ye meaning?
38144What were ye meaning?
38144What would he do with a horse in two foot of snow? 38144 What''s that?"
38144What''s the use of talking justice to the poor man when he''s ground down by the thief with capital? 38144 When did you last see the match- box?"
38144Where have you been, Sally, and where did you get the horse?
38144Where have you been? 38144 Where''s that blamed officer?
38144Where''s the boundary?
38144Where''s the sergeant?
38144Whersh you keep them?
38144Which gates? 38144 Which way?"
38144While ye did nothing Trooper Cotton came in to help ye?
38144Who could suspect in such a slender and fragile person the power she possesses to banish gloom and poverty? 38144 Who is this man?
38144Who was the first man ye met when ye went out?
38144Who were ye meaning?
38144Who''s coming with me to the stable, boys?
38144Who''s that?
38144Why are you keeping in the background, Corporal Cotton? 38144 Why ca n''t you explain them then?
38144Why did n''t one of the others waken me? 38144 Why did n''t one of you get hold of him and make him talk next day?"
38144Why did ye not seize him or raise the alarm?
38144Why did you bring Miss Haldane, Boone? 38144 Why did you not tell me so earlier?"
38144Why do n''t you ask her, then?
38144Why?
38144Why?
38144Will Miss Haldane return to Bonaventure?
38144Will it ever be built?
38144Will you come down?
38144Will you go away and leave him to me?
38144Will you listen to me for two minutes, sir?
38144Will you please tell us, Miss Redmond, how far you can allow us to make use of this?
38144Will you shove the centerboard down by the iron handle, and then take hold of the tiller, Miss Haldane?
38144Will you tell me how you came here?
38144Will you tell us if you opened that case?
38144Will you walk back to the house with me?
38144Wo n''t you try to persuade her, Ormesby?
38144Would n''t the Port Arthur freight do?
38144Would one naturally do so when she asked a favor?
38144Would you, for instance, quietly back out of a conflict with some wealthy combine and leave your opponents a free hand to collect the plunder?
38144Ye had a visit from Lane yesterday?
38144Ye were here when he came in, Rancher Ormesby?
38144You are Rancher Ormesby, whose horse I borrowed, I presume?
38144You are a citizen of this place, or have some local standing?
38144You are growing quite smart, Ormesby; but is n''t it a pity you did n''t display your acumen earlier? 38144 You are still so afraid of Lane that you would risk bringing fresh sorrow on that poor girl in order to protect yourself?"
38144You are sure about the oil tins? 38144 You ask too many questions-- are you not yet content?
38144You borrowed from a bank?
38144You have a barometer in the station, have n''t you?
38144You know the prisoner, Ormesby?
38144You own a tolerably extensive holding in Crane Valley, do n''t you?
38144You saw where my father put the book Miss Redmond gave him?
38144You think Lane had a hand in his disappearance?
38144You were far too generous; but ca n''t one of us take in the papers and get the money?
38144You''re not mad?
38144You''re the man who used to own this place, are n''t you?
38144Your task?
38144''Did you ever sleep in a mosquito muskeg or cut hay in a dried- out slough?''
38144''Feel like peeling half a sackful?''
38144A cigar?
38144All this flashed through my mind as I looked into the wreaths of smoke, and then Haldane spoke:"Have you come across that photographer fellow lately?"
38144Am I quite certain, or can I offer any explanation?
38144And Steel proceeded:"Then why does n''t he sail in and take all he''s entitled to?"
38144And the sergeant asked again:"When and where did ye last see him?"
38144Any takers?"
38144Apparently the malefactor got away, Sergeant Mackay?"
38144Are you aware that you hold a warrant for me?"
38144Are you badly hurt?"
38144Are you coming back, Ormesby?
38144Are you disposed to let the horses roast while we quarrel?"
38144Are you going East?"
38144Are you going out with the train?"
38144Are you going to send any copies to your people in England, Cotton?"
38144Are you going to try the crossing, too?"
38144Are you going to turn police trooper, Sally?"
38144Are you prepared to protect your property, Ormesby?"
38144Are you sorry I did not lay a decent stake, or have you been infected by Lane?"
38144Are you still content?"
38144As good as your troopers, are n''t they?
38144At length, however, she asked, with a half- nervous laugh:"Did you ever feel, Mr. Ormesby, that somebody you could not see was watching you?"
38144Blamed hard luck, is n''t it?"
38144Boys, you''ll remember the night we brought Redmond home?"
38144Bronzed faces were turned anxiously upon him when he was asked:"Did the prisoner volunteer any statement, or offer resistance?"
38144But how did you get them?"
38144But who is Ted?"
38144But who''s coming along now?"
38144Ca n''t you ever talk straight like a sensible man?"
38144Ca n''t you see that I''m Trooper Cotton, and must skulk away a deserter unless I arrest you?"
38144Ca n''t you see that he could force us to give the papers up?
38144Ca n''t you see that we could beat you if it came to testimony?
38144Ca n''t you see the others?"
38144Ca n''t you see you have n''t the ghost of a show?"
38144Ca n''t you stir around and pull anything clear of harm''s way, boys?"
38144Can the law change the seasons for ye, or protect the careless from their own improvidence?
38144Can you conceive such a possibility?"
38144Can you consider such a desire either uncommon or surprising?"
38144Come to see the last of it?"
38144Corporal Cotton, will you inquire if your superior has finished his business, and tell him that I am waiting?"
38144Cotton?"
38144Curious way to ask a favor, is n''t it?
38144Did they all get through?"
38144Did ye know him?"
38144Did you ever hear about the fool bullfrog and the ox, Rancher Ormesby?"
38144Did you ever hear of Rancher Dane, who stripped himself of all his possessions to advance the career of a now popular singer?
38144Do n''t you know us yet?
38144Do n''t you think that we who live idly in the cities owe a good deal to them?"
38144Do ye know how he came into the river?"
38144Do ye know why this man ye had dealings with should wish to destroy himself?"
38144Do ye usually nail your stable or cut your own head open, Rancher Ormesby?"
38144Do you believe it?"
38144Do you feel like smoking, Ormesby?"
38144Do you know it''s ten o''clock, Sally?"
38144Do you know that the education you mentioned is not yet quite finished?"
38144Do you know that you have shamed me, Harry Ormesby?"
38144Do you know the bureau you smashed in cost me sixty dollars, Ormesby?"
38144Do you know where he is?"
38144Do you know who he is?"
38144Do you mind telling me what you gave for this place?"
38144Do you really think it would please them?"
38144Do you think any settler in this region would take money-- and Lane offered a round sum-- for betraying me?"
38144Do you wish to see him?"
38144Even Mackay winced under certain allusions, and when I asked him:"Am I permitted to talk to my housekeeper alone?"
38144Even if that had been possible, how far would one suspicion count against all that the girl in England has done for me?
38144Feel uneasy about the explosion now that you have helped to fire the train?"
38144Found ye anything, Trooper Cotton?"
38144Getting late, is n''t it?
38144Had n''t we better come straight to business?"
38144Had you not better tell him while I stay here?"
38144Haldane met me presently, and his tone was cordial as he said:"Where are you thinking of spending the night?"
38144Have I not done my best?"
38144Have you any objection to according me a private interview?"
38144Have you any word of him?"
38144Have you been studying detective literature latterly?"
38144Have you done anything to be ashamed of?"
38144Have you got any in writing?"
38144Have you got your own fixed?"
38144Have you not found it so, Miss Steel?"
38144Have you seen anything of Foster Lane during the last week or two?"
38144His comment was followed by a query from another disappointed individual:"Say, what about the gophers?"
38144How did you get this, Cotton?"
38144How did you manage at the depot, Sally?"
38144How did you manage it?"
38144How does it strike you?"
38144How long did it take you to break your troopers in?
38144How long have I been ill, and has any rain fallen?"
38144How long might it take you to reach the frontier?
38144How many did?"
38144However, the question now is: how are we going to use them?"
38144I asked, and the girl answered with some reluctance:"Yes; was it not natural that I should?"
38144I bent my head, and seeing that he was not averse to speech, said quietly:"You come here sometimes?
38144I did not answer, but grew uneasy, seeing that he could not take a hint; and the girl continued:"Are they fond of swimming?"
38144I laughed, perhaps somewhat hollowly, for the child commented:"Wo n''t you do that again?
38144I presume you are not above taking a hint from me?"
38144I roared"Is Thorn behind you?"
38144I suppose there is no other person selling?"
38144I''d sooner do that than carry over-- see?"
38144If I remember Mrs. Leyland correctly, you come from the land of promise, do n''t you?"
38144If you take the wagon I hired what am I to do?"
38144In any case, he calmly handed book and paper back to Boone with the careless comment:"You thought of that?
38144In the meantime, are you coming back to Bonaventure with me?"
38144Is he another broken- up British baronet''s youngest son, or-- because they only raise his kind in the old country-- what has the fellow done?"
38144Is he dead?''
38144Is it not enough?"
38144Is it not possible for the monotony and drudgery to drag one down to a steadily sinking level?"
38144Is it permissible to ask how you managed in respect to capital?"
38144Is it you, Boone, we have been chasing all day?"
38144Is it you; and what is the meaning of this mummery?"
38144Is n''t it a little unnecessary to remind me of all that I have lost?"
38144Is n''t it time to begin?"
38144Is n''t that good enough for you?"
38144Is n''t there a race meeting somewhere about this place to- day?"
38144Is that you, Ormesby?"
38144Is the horse all right?"
38144It is not asking too much, is it?"
38144It may have been fancy, but a faint angry sparkle seemed to creep into Miss Haldane''s eyes as she answered:"Are there no others?
38144It was one evening at Bonaventure, was it not?"
38144It''s my opinion-- you do n''t want opinions?
38144Just how far can you and the men behind you go?"
38144Leyland?"
38144Loyal?
38144Mackay appeared to meditate before he spoke again:"Where did ye meet him, and what did he say?"
38144Meanwhile, are you open to train some of the Bonaventure colts, and look after my surplus stock on a profit- division basis?
38144Noo will ye hear reason, boys, or will I wire for a squadron to convince ye?
38144Now had n''t you better explain what you want with me?"
38144Now, boys, are any of ye willing to take Niven home?"
38144Now, had n''t you better consider your decision?"
38144Now, what I want to ask you is, how''s Lane going to turn me out if I hold on to the place?
38144Of course you are aware that Lane holds a power of attachment against you?"
38144Ormesby ye can not have, and will ye shame your own credit and me?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Ormesby?"
38144Receiving a negative answer, he turned towards the trooper:"Exactly what did you hear at the hotel?"
38144Say, I wonder did you know those old canvas overalls drawn in by the leggings are picturesque and become you?
38144Say, ca n''t we sit down and enjoy it a little?"
38144Say, did you strike Niven for compensation?"
38144Say, how long was it since you had a square meal, anyway?
38144Say, what are you going to do with that big hasp- bar, Sally?"
38144Sergeant, you have the power to grant me a week''s leave of absence?"
38144Somebody was steadily taking up the stock we offered, and when, for the fourth time, Haldane had answered my question,"Any sign of weakness yet?"
38144Still, I should like to ask you one question-- how did your cattle get inside the fence?"
38144Still,"and Lucille grew grave again,"would it hurt you very much if I said I could not listen because I feared you were only dreaming this time, too?"
38144Strange, is n''t it, that the simple are sometimes shrewder than the wise?"
38144Suppose it was Dixon who gave you the pointers?
38144Suppose that man goes back on Lane?
38144Surely nobody has any right to drive off cattle and horses that do n''t belong to him?"
38144The kettle''s boiling; but have you been practicing for a strong- man circus, Leyland?"
38144The voices grew louder, the group swelled, and I started at the call:"Any more of you with Territories to sell?"
38144Then it was with a gasp I said:"Wo n''t you get me a little water?"
38144Then the younger man turned to me:"Do you happen to know anything about seamanship?"
38144Then, as she looked up again, the blood came back, mantling the clear skin, and she said, brokenly:"I fell out of the wagon, did I not?
38144There was a murmur of assent from the bystanders, but the sergeant, disregarding it, spoke again:"Did ye meet the freighter?"
38144They would n''t give you the money, and if they did, how would that get over the fact that I''m lying here helpless?
38144Wanting any little pictures of yourself to send home to friends in the old country?"
38144Was that not rather the action of a lunatic?"
38144We will ask the doctor; and have you any right to place obstacles in the way of Mr. Ormesby''s recovery?''
38144Well, he''s recorded owner, is n''t he?
38144Were they large or small-- and did you ever see them or the groceries again?"
38144Whasher foolin''for?
38144What ails ye at the service anyway?"
38144What are you gaping at?
38144What are you thinking now?"
38144What crime had he committed that he should be hunted so pitilessly?"
38144What do you propose to do?"
38144What do you want with Crane Valley?"
38144What do you want with him?"
38144What do you want with it?"
38144What has the fellow who borrowed her done?"
38144What is the usual term of detention for such offenses?"
38144What is your program?"
38144What kind of man is he?"
38144What shall we talk about?"
38144What was it ye were observing, Foreman Thorn?"
38144What was your business with him?"
38144What''s your idea of the West?
38144When Haldane had lighted a cigar he took a roll of paper off the table and tossed it across to me, saying,"Is that your work, Ormesby?"
38144Where are they now?"
38144Where did you spring from?
38144Where is the bailer?"
38144Where''s your hired man; and is there nothing better worth saving than these?"
38144Who is hot- headed now?"
38144Who was it sent for you?"
38144Who will see to your sowing-- and will you stay there long?"
38144Who''ll help me lift him in?
38144Who''s next-- or maybe you only brought one man along?"
38144Why could n''t it have happened on the return journey?"
38144Why did ye not split them up?"
38144Why should I know?
38144Why"--and her tone grew serious enough--"do you not crush the man or men who are doing so much mischief in our vicinity?"
38144Will ye walk to the house with me?"
38144Will you and the trooper try one of these?"
38144Will you return to- night?"
38144Will you stand behind me?
38144Will you surrender quietly?"
38144Wo n''t you get me supper instead of worrying me?"
38144Wo n''t you go on and bring the story down to the present?"
38144Wo n''t you run both places and make me a kind of foreman with a partner''s interest?"
38144Wo n''t you wish me luck?"
38144Women are very well in their own place, are they not?
38144Would any man spend the best years of his life striving for what he did not want?"
38144Would ye prefer a charge against them, Ormesby?"
38144Ye can identify him, all of ye?"
38144Ye will let us have the horses, Miss Haldane?"
38144You are ready to redeem the mortgage on Gaspard''s Trail?"
38144You ca n''t think of any underhand trick he might have played you lately?"
38144You do n''t think I could possibly have had any hand in that?"
38144You look positively haggard?"
38144You sent word you wanted to talk to me?"
38144You will remember how, on the eve of battle, Shakespeare''s ghosts prophesied to one man ruin and to another victory?"
38144You''re not overrich, either, are you?
38144You''ve had your papers, and did n''t find anything to kick against, Ormesby?"
38144Your superiors are punctilious, are they not?"
17180''Adn''t I better tell Mrs. Mummery to put the blue bedroom in order and''ave plenty of''ot water?...
17180''Aystack?
17180''Ere you,he said-- he had n''t much respect for Borkins and made no attempt to hide the fact--"what the dooce''as become of his lordship''s pypers?
17180A regular right- hand man you are, eh, Mr. Narkom? 17180 Ai n''t there?
17180Among the uneducated-- what would you? 17180 And he came back?"
17180And how did you discover that Brellier was the''Master''in question?
17180And that they have nothing whatever to do with the vanishing of Wynne and Collins?
17180And then-- what next, Sir Nigel?
17180And these two newcomers? 17180 And what does he do with all this gold, you ask?
17180And what then, Mr. Narkom? 17180 And what then?"
17180And where, then, does the manager live, if not over the bank itself?
17180And who the devil are you?
17180And yet you can not recall the actual remark that your uncle made, Miss Brellier?
17180And''e would n''t''arf be astonished, would''e, sir?... 17180 Any news for me?
17180Any proof?
17180Any restrictions?
17180Are you fit to be about?
17180Been seein''the country-- eh? 17180 Believe it, man?
17180Bit of a sport, ai n''t she, guv''nor?
17180But what I means is, what sort er boats? 17180 But what_ is_ marsh gas, Mr.--Headland?"
17180But, sir,he whispered in a hoarse undertone,"you wo n''t go a- knocking about alone, will yer?
17180But--The coroner''s voice was low- pitched, incredulous,"are you trying to tell us you fired a shot that night, Miss Brellier?"
17180By the way, Nigel,he asked suddenly,"is n''t there some ghost story or other pertaining to your district?
17180Ca n''t you use your eyes? 17180 Coming?"
17180D''yer think I''d be such a dirty blighter as ter let you go dahn there-- p''raps ter your very death-- alone? 17180 Did I bring you here as a friend and give you every opportunity to work on this strange business, to have you arraign me as a murderer?
17180Did n''t you?
17180Did you see his face, lad?
17180Did you''ear, sir?
17180Do n''t know,he said laconically,"and if that were true, where are the bodies?...
17180Do n''t think much uv this''ere passage, anyway, do you?
17180Do n''t you know that it''s not safe to be in this district after nightfall? 17180 Do n''t you think your language is a trifle-- er-- overstrong, Wynne?"
17180Do you know Dacre Wynne?
17180Eh-- what? 17180 Found''em?
17180Gen''leman''ere yet?
17180Gone, sir? 17180 Got a penknife, West?"
17180Happen you do n''t unnerstan''the business? 17180 Have I?"
17180He said it was business-- what would you? 17180 How did they meet their death?"
17180How do you mean, sir?
17180How goes it to- night, sir? 17180 How goes it?
17180However did you get to this part of the world? 17180 I may smoke,''Toinette?
17180I suppose, Bennett, that I shall be allowed to see Miss Brellier? 17180 I take it that you had had what you term''words''since that fatal date?"
17180I-- I-- What can you know about me, but that I''ave been in the employment of this family nearly all my life?
17180I-- I-- damn it, Tony, you do n''t believe it, do you?
17180In time, Petrie?
17180Indeed?
17180Is it of small calibre?
17180Is that so, Methuselah?
17180Is there not a loophole_ here_, sir, by which Sir Nigel might be saved? 17180 Is this true, my man?"
17180It belongs to some member of your household, Miss Brellier?
17180Like it, old man?
17180M''Lud,he said clearly,"may I ask a favour of the court?
17180Mate on the square with you, I s''pose? 17180 Meaning me?"
17180Mr. Brellier, is it not? 17180 Mr. Wynne, sir?
17180My uncle, Borkins? 17180 Nice sort of place for the Squire of the Manor to be disporting himself, is n''t it?"
17180Now I wonder what the dickens?...
17180Now why did he make that bloomer about dates, I wonder? 17180 Now, what the dickens...?"
17180Oh, Nigel lives round here, does he?
17180Oh?
17180On the Saltfleet Road, eh?
17180Peaceful night, last night, eh, Borkins?
17180Pretty awful, is n''t it? 17180 Rather of a surprise, I must admit; is n''t it?"
17180Reason for_ killing_ him? 17180 S''welp me, you chaps, ai n''t none uv you a- goin''ter lend a''and to a mate wot''s out uv a job?
17180See that stuff in there? 17180 Shall I show the lady in?"
17180Sir Nigel, sir-- I--"When did Collins go?
17180Sir Nigel, sir? 17180 So Sir Nigel was no good friend of this man Wynne''s, then?"
17180So much for yer Lunnon policeman, eh? 17180 So that''s it, is it?
17180So you waited until things looked a little blacker for him, and then decided to cast your creditable scruples to the wind?
17180So? 17180 So?
17180So?
17180Strangers, ai n''t you?
17180Then perhaps the man Stark killed him, after all?
17180Then why the devil did n''t you tell me last night?
17180Then you do n''t believe me?
17180There is nothing-- one can do?
17180There was no need for thanks-- none at all.... What is your opinion of the Towers, Miss Brellier?
17180This revolver is yours?
17180Thought I heard a shot, Nigel, what--?
17180Visitors, Nigel?
17180Want another, eh? 17180 Well, Doctor,"said Tony West, as he entered the room,"what''s the plan?
17180Well, Merriton, you''ve got your own back for little Rosie Deverill, have n''t you? 17180 Well, Wynne said twelve, did n''t he?"
17180Well, my talkative young parrot,he greeted West affectionately,"and how are you?...
17180Well, then,''ow the dickens do they send''em out?
17180Well-- if you please-- Sir Nigel-- that is--"What the devil are they, then?
17180What I say is:''Would a judge and jury believe you?'' 17180 What d''you mean, C-- Headland?"
17180What did the letter from Headquarters say? 17180 What did you go up for, Nigel-- really?"
17180What is it, dear?
17180What is it? 17180 What more can you ask than that?
17180What now, matey? 17180 What suggested this plan to you?"
17180What the devil do you mean, Borkins, talkin''a lot of rot? 17180 What the devil is it?"
17180What the devil--?
17180What the dickens do you mean?
17180What the hell are you doing here?
17180What then,_ p''tite_?
17180What yer goin''ter do, sir?
17180What''re they going to do about it?
17180What''s that, my lord? 17180 What''s that?
17180What''s that? 17180 What''s that?"
17180What''s the job?
17180Where do they ship''em to, matey?
17180Where is your''general knowledge''which you learnt at school, man? 17180 Where the deuce is Collins?"
17180Where was I? 17180 Where you sleepin''?"
17180Where''re you off to, matey? 17180 Who''ll take it on?
17180Who? 17180 Why?"
17180You are Mr. Headland, are you not?
17180You are ready to swear that this is true, upon your oath, and knowing that perjury is punishable by law?
17180You did n''t think of that, did you? 17180 You here as well?
17180You mean to tell me that a whole township has been hanging by the heels, so to speak, upon as ridiculously easy an affair as that?
17180You saw the new flame? 17180 You say it is yours, Miss Brellier?
17180You say you heard the man Wynne groaning and moaning on the garden pathway after he was shot, and then practically saw him die?
17180You think so?
17180You will see that it is done, Dobbs, and done properly to- night?
17180Your Lordship,he said, addressing the judge, who looked at him with raised eyebrows,"may I address the court?"
17180Your statement against this man Borkins--?
17180Yus-- wasn''t it? 17180 _ Gad!..._ Where did you find it?"
17180_ Last night?_Merriton sat bolt upright in bed and ran his fingers through his hair.
17180_ Nigel!_ How dared he?
17180_ Two_ of''em, sir?
17180_ You!_"Yes-- I, Mr.--er-- Headland, is n''t it? 17180 _ Your_ shot, Sir Nigel?
17180''Ave_ you_ bin''avin''a squint at''em, ole pieface?
17180''Avin''some nice adventures this night, ai n''t we, guv''nor?"
17180''Oo''s the little''un?"
17180''Ow did you come ter think of it?
17180''Want ter make a bit of extra money by''oldin''of your tongue?''
17180... Now I wonder why the deuce he lied to me?"
17180A fine night, what?
17180A little stir of interest went round the crowded, smoky room and someone called out:"Lunnon,''ave yer?
17180A sort of unearthly fireworks display, or some new explosive experiment?
17180Afraid to go out and see what those lights are, are you?
17180After all, was n''t it almost impossible that the bullet_ should_ be the same?
17180Ai n''t wastin''many words, are yer, matey?
17180An''any chawnce of a couple of men gittin''a bit er work to keep the blinkin''wolf from the door?
17180An''the narsty eye?
17180An''what''re sailor men doin''in Lunnon, any''ow?"
17180An''where''s the bloomin''boss?"
17180And as for believing his word before yours-- who fired the shot, Sir Nigel?
17180And if it''adn''t been for all this unpleasantness, it would''ave bin a nice little change for yer, would n''t it?
17180And is that all you''ve got to tell me?
17180And may I ask how you discovered all this, before going into the case of Borkins?"
17180And the other man?
17180And the second one, if I do n''t make any mistake, answers to the description of James Collins-- eh, Headland?"
17180And was there not a chance that the bullet might be different?
17180And what else did you learn, Dollops?"
17180And what fool put you in this idiotic predicament?
17180And what malignant power dwelt behind the screen of their mystery?
17180And what then, Dollops?"
17180And what was a man doing out there at night, with a revolver?
17180And what went on here in these uninhabited reaches of the marshland?
17180And when one knew that these things carried electric wiring.... Or_ did they_?...
17180And who''s party is this, anyhow?
17180And why in heaven''s name should n''t I go out and investigate''em if I want to?
17180And yet, how did the knowledge, that he was not altogether what he seemed, leak out?
17180And yet-- who can tell?
17180And you can show proof of this, if the jury requires it?"
17180And"--he stopped and sucked in his breath, wheeling round upon Mr. Narkom--"when you come to think of it, why should n''t it have grown up already?
17180Any finger- prints?"
17180Any one know where we kin get a shake- down for the night?
17180Any one''ere tell me the story?
17180Anythink the matter, sir?"
17180Are you on?"
17180Besides"--he smiled suddenly into the seamed, anxious face of the man--"who knows but that bullet may prove Sir Nigel''s innocence?
17180Bit of a problem, eh, Dollops?
17180Bit orf the track, ai n''t yer?"
17180Borkins?
17180Borkins?"
17180Brellier?"
17180Burnt''em alive, so to speak?"
17180But for what purpose?
17180But what he really_ did_ say was:"What are their names?"
17180But what if Borkins and Merriton had been working hand- in- glove, and then, somehow or other, had had a split?
17180But what the devil has Borkins got to_ do_ with this factory?
17180But what the''ell is this factory work''ere, any''ow?
17180But where?
17180But you remember now, eh?
17180But-- did he?
17180But-- no one had heard them, he had said?
17180By the way, have you, in your employ, a dark, square- faced individual, with close- set eyes and a straggling moustache?
17180By the way, who''s the chap with the black mustache a- stragglin''all over''is fyce?
17180Ca n''t be that it''s done on_ purpose_, and yet-- why is it still here?"
17180Ca n''t some of us stop him?"
17180Calling him a murderer, were they?
17180Can you explain it any clearer?"
17180Can you recollect your uncle telling you that he used your revolver to shoot the dog with, or not?
17180Cleek?"
17180Cleek?"
17180Cold, Mr.--er Headland?"
17180Comin''along now?"
17180Coming, Dollops?"
17180Congratulate me, wo n''t you?"
17180Contraband, eh, matey?"
17180Credence in the story?
17180D''you think I''m crazy?
17180D''you think they''d believe you?"
17180Devilish long journey, what?
17180Did he, or did you?
17180Did n''t they teach you any?
17180Do n''t envy him the task, do you?"
17180Doing a bit of eavesdropping, eh?"
17180Dollops, got the golf- clubs and walking- sticks?
17180Eh, Bill?"
17180Eh, Nigel?"
17180Eh-- what''s that?"
17180Electrical tubings, eh?
17180Even more clever, is n''t it?
17180Ever noticed it, West?
17180Ever seen''em yourself?
17180Fifty pounds?
17180Fight was it?
17180Fishing boats?...
17180Found that chap with the straggling black moustache that tried to do me in the other night?
17180Funny thing, ai n''t it?"
17180Funny?
17180Give us an appetite for our breakfast, eh?"
17180Glad that there was a chance for another pal to come under the same brutal sway as he had?
17180Got your oilskin with you, Petrie?"
17180Had n''t you better''phone the local branch?
17180Happen to have learnt the chap''s name yet?"
17180He has heard, of course?"
17180He lifted an excited face to meet her eyes,"Where did you get it, Miss Brellier?"
17180He was here at the time, and yet why did he suggest that old wives''tale as a possible solution of the disappearance?
17180He went out to investigate the flames, Merriton?
17180Headland?"
17180Headland?"
17180Hear anything?"
17180Here, just hand me that shirt, will you?"
17180How are you, old sport?"
17180How long have these-- er-- lights been seen hereabouts?
17180How long were those beasts going to brood in there over the dead?
17180How now, son?
17180How was the deed done?"
17180I have your permission to continue?"
17180I say, do you ride?
17180I say-- look over there, will you?"
17180I trust you are going to do likewise?"
17180I''ve been asleep, have n''t I?
17180I''ve had a long ride, and a hard one.... And so you two are going to get married, are you?"
17180If he had only known what the future held in store for them both, would he still have clung to his purpose?
17180If he should be convicted and sent to prison, what would become of her?
17180If they''re late, well, would n''t it be worth your while to go down to the station and''ave a gentle word or two with one of the officials there?"
17180Into the morning room?
17180Is it not so?"
17180Is n''t that rather strange?"
17180Is that you, Dollops?"
17180Is there nothing, nothing that can be done to save him?
17180It is identical with those that are used in the cartridges of your revolver, is it not?"
17180Just loadin''is our game, then?"
17180Lake?"
17180Let''s see what''s the time?
17180Lonely?
17180Lookin''a bit white about the gills, are n''t you, eh?...
17180Looks a bit funny, that, does n''t it?"
17180Looks a trustworthy specimen, does n''t he?
17180Looks like a plant, does n''t it?
17180Looks like the end of the blinkin''cage, do n''t it?
17180Lunch at one- fifteen, I take it?"
17180Mine?
17180Mr. Cleek, see''em?
17180Mr. Narkom,"he turned round and surveyed the Superintendent with mirthful eyes,"what about these bank robberies now, eh?
17180Mr. Wynne-- gone-- out_ there_?"
17180Mr. Wynne--_gone_?
17180Must I arrest him now, and take him off to the public jail to await trial, or will you give him a sporting chance?"
17180Narkom?"
17180Never mind, we''ll make it soon, wo n''t we?"
17180Nice little toy, is n''t it?"
17180Now then, all there?"
17180Now we''ll be off to old London again-- eh, Lake?
17180Now, I wonder where those two are bound for?"
17180Now, what in blazes--?"
17180Oh, Nigel dearest--_why_ did you not tell me that they were detectives, these friends of yours who were coming to visit?
17180Or was this Dacre Wynne''s abominable idea of a revenge for having stolen''Toinette''s heart away from him?
17180Or you, Stark?"
17180Ow''ll to- morrow evening suit?"
17180Rather undershot, too, I believe?
17180Remember how heart- broken you were at sixteen, when she turned her rather wayward affections to me?
17180Remember the man Bill Jones, and his little pal Sammie Robinson, from Jamaica?"
17180Remember?"
17180Sea- faring, I take it?"
17180See his eyes to- night?
17180See them tubings over there?
17180See''em?
17180Seein''the master ternight, ai n''t we, sir?"
17180Seems pretty well closed up for the night, does n''t it?
17180Seems sort er funny, do n''t it?
17180Shall I show him up?"
17180Shall I tell him?"
17180Shall us bring him along too?
17180Should he go or should n''t he?
17180Shows what asses we human beings are, does n''t it?
17180Sir Nigel, I ask you, is n''t our friend''s make- up the perfection of the-- er-- elderly man- about- town?"
17180So he did n''t come round to your place then?
17180So they were trading with Belgium, were they?
17180So this question of the Frozen Flame was as urgent as all that, was it?
17180So you can go to bed in comfort on that, ca n''t you?"
17180Some distance, is n''t it, Doctor?"
17180Some picture, is n''t it?"
17180Some sort of fair or other?
17180Soon catch on to it, do n''t yer?"
17180Surely it must be traced who used this revolver, who fired the shot from it?"
17180Surely you know the story?"
17180That kind of a devil dares anything.... How''s your uncle, dear?
17180That satisfy you?"
17180That your man?"
17180That''s fixed, then, ai n''t it?
17180That''s your man, Dollops, is n''t it, Headland?
17180The door been left open, eh?
17180The epitome of prehistoric selfishness, is it not?
17180The expression of your face so plainly said,''What right has he to go meddling in another man''s affairs like this?''
17180The ground about it is as marshy as ever, and my own footprint is perfectly clear.... What the dickens do you make of it, eh?"
17180The men have been up from the local morgue, have n''t they?"
17180The next thing to consider is-- what the devil has a common sailor or factory- hand to do with a chap like Dacre Wynne?
17180The path of Law and Justice is by no means an easy one to tread, is it?
17180The reason why I mistrusted the story of the revolver?
17180The revolver is of French make, is it not?
17180The signature is yours?"
17180Then I reckon you means the barn about a quarter of a mile up the road toward the village?"
17180Then can you tell me how he finds time to run down here at leisure and visit you?
17180Then may I ask why you did not immediately report this matter to the rest of the party, or to the police?"
17180Then you think Borkins himself is guilty?"
17180Then:"But it was_ your_ revolver he used, Miss Brellier?
17180Then:"Notice anything, Dollops?"
17180There is no one you know of who could have heard-- and not spoken?"
17180There was a woman-- oh, I need n''t go into these family things, in a place like this, need I?...
17180This last affair took place at Hendon, during the evening of Saturday last-- the sixteenth, was n''t it?
17180Those flames, eh?
17180Tony West, eh?
17180Understand?"
17180Very clever, is n''t it?"
17180Want to know what those flames are, eh?"
17180Was he going insane?
17180Was it much hidden, Petrie?
17180Was n''t I there, that night, with you?
17180Was this close, uncomfortable companionship of the spirit to be forced on him again?
17180We had a dog who was hurt-- you remember Franco,''Toinette?
17180We would n''t have chanced taking them on if we had n''t been so short- handed, but... you''re sure of them, eh?"
17180We''ll be''ere and grateful for yer''elp.... Wot''s this abaht a murder?
17180We''ve a good four miles''walk ahead of us, and-- what was that?"
17180We''ve been out searching for Wynne, and I--""_ Been out?_""Yes, across the Fens.
17180Well, had n''t he better take''em downstairs and give''em a stiff whisky- and- soda?
17180Well, it seems to be getting dusk rapidly, Sir Nigel, what about those flames now, eh?
17180Well, my dear Mr. Lake, finding your part a bit too much for you?"
17180Well, wot if there ai n''t?
17180Were n''t such a rough night after all, was it, sir?"
17180Were they-- very awful?"
17180What I wants ter know is--''ow do we get out of this charmin''little country seat?
17180What abaht it, now?
17180What about Tuesday?
17180What about a round of cards, boys, till the time is up?"
17180What business was he up to?
17180What chance had he of a future now-- with Cleek against him?
17180What could it mean, but one thing?
17180What d''you make of it?"
17180What did it mean?
17180What did you learn at the War Office?"
17180What do you make of it, old chap?"
17180What do you make of it?"
17180What do you think?"
17180What fool let him go?
17180What happened?"
17180What has the Frozen Flame to do with all this?
17180What if Collins had met with the same fate as Dacre Wynne?
17180What in Heaven''s name''s the matter?
17180What is it you have to say, sir?"
17180What is it, Petrie?"
17180What is it, my pocket guide- book?"
17180What is it?
17180What more natural, then, than that this human fiend should endeavour to shape even this thing to his own ends?
17180What on earth--?
17180What reason?
17180What say you?"
17180What secret did they hide?
17180What sort of a fool would I be to believe it?
17180What sort of a friend was he, anyway?
17180What the dickens was it, anyhow?
17180What then were these"Frozen Flames"?
17180What was a mere coroner''s jury to that possibility?
17180What was the matter with him?
17180What were those fiendish flames, anyhow, that men disappeared completely, leaving neither sight nor sound?
17180What you think, Lake?"
17180What''re sailormen wantin''wi''clorth- makin''and''ammering''tin- pots?
17180What''s that you say?
17180What''s that?"
17180What''s the blooming mystery?
17180What''s the shortest w''y, Borkins, me beauty?"
17180What''s this?
17180What''s yer names again?
17180What''s your idea, now?"
17180What''s your opinion of''em?
17180What''s your plan of action?"
17180What_ are_ those flames, and where do they come from?
17180What_ are_ those flames, anyway?
17180When you''ve discovered that, you''ll have got half way to the truth, and the rest will follow as a matter of course.... What''s that, Mr. Narkom?
17180Where are your quarters?"
17180Where did you say, Merriton?
17180Where on earth are we?
17180Where''s your master?"
17180Who can tell?
17180Who knows but that it is not the same kind as lie now in this deadly little thing here in my hand?
17180Who''ll tell us?"
17180Who''s a- comin''now?
17180Who''s that?"
17180Who''s to stop me?"
17180Whose?...
17180Why?"
17180Why?"
17180Will Mr. Stark kindly come forward?"
17180With all your fine secrets?
17180Wo n''t you sit down?"
17180Wonder if there''d be any chance of me lending a hand?"
17180Wot brought yer dahn''ere?
17180Would Nigel be able to get through it?
17180Wynne?"
17180Wynne?"
17180Wynne?"
17180Yer did n''t mean the master of this plyce goes and ships electrical fittin''s and such- like out to Belgium in_ fishin''_ boats-- strite, eh?"
17180Yes-- horrible, is n''t it?
17180Yet how was he to know that the man would try to fix a murder on him, himself?
17180You Merriton?
17180You are going to settle down to it altogether, then?"
17180You bought it abroad?"
17180You can manage to put him up somewhere, I suppose?
17180You can remember?
17180You can swear to this statement as far as your part in it is concerned, Doctor Bartholomew?"
17180You can vouch for it?
17180You can vouch for their reliability to keep their mouths shut, Dobbs?
17180You coming along?"
17180You did n''t know that, then?
17180You did n''t know they were Cleek and his man, did you?
17180You found''i m?"
17180You have made enquiries?"
17180You men can keep your mouths shut?"
17180You understand?"
17180You will?"
17180You''ll help me, Dollops, wo n''t you?
17180You''re not trying to intimate that_ I_ killed him, are you?
17180Your uncle_ did_ kill the dog Franco with it?
17180Yours or Merriton''s?
17180_ Gawd!_ are you a devil?"
17180belongs to you, I take it?"
17180but the chaps wot made this bloomin''tube did their job fair, did n''t they?
17180gives yer the fair creeps, do n''t it?"
17180here''s a turning, and the question is, shall we go straight on, or turn?"
17180it''s good to smell the fresh air again-- eh, Dollops?
17180lunch ready?
4075''Member dose jools youse swiped from de duchess?

4075An''den what?
4075And do you know what he had the impudence, the gall, to tell me?
4075And how could she tell him?
4075And so, of course, Sir Thomas was pretty grateful to your father?"
4075And they''re not brutes-- are you, darlings?
4075And what I say is what''s prevent him saying he''s done it when has n''t done it?"

4075Are n''t you afraid of the boogaboos getting you?
4075Are n''t you going to bed soon, father?
4075Are we anywhere near it?"
4075Are we not imagined by Mr. McEachern, for instance, to be working hand- in- hand like brothers?
4075Are you a judge of precious stones at all?"
4075Are you by any chance on the wagon?"
4075Are you convinced, or do you hanker after tests like polarized light and refracting liquids?"
4075Are you listening?

4075But what of it?
4075But what was five pounds?
4075But would the girl have him?
4075But, say, did youse ever see his girl?"
4075By the way, Arthur, how was that?
4075By the way, I suppose you lost sight of this girl when you landed?"
4075By the way, before we start, care to make it a sovereign a hundred?"
4075By the way--"he eyed Lord Dreever curiously--"I never thought of asking before-- what on earth are you doing here?
4075CHAPTER IV MOLLY"Why, Molly,"said the policeman,"what are you doing out of bed?

4075Coming downstairs, Pitt, old man?
4075Could Jimmy have made an attempt on the jewels during the dance?
4075Could this be one of that select band?
4075Damn you,"he went on, his anger rising once more,"what do you mean by it?

4075Do n''t you know her address?"
4075Do n''t you realize that in about ten minutes I am due to play an important part in a great drama on the stage?"
4075Do n''t you see that he would suspect you the moment he found they were gone, and then you''d get into trouble?"
4075Do n''t you want me to marry a man?
4075Do n''t you want to be engaged?
4075Do you do anything in that line?"
4075Do you fancy that Mr. McEachern, chatting with his tame sleuth- hound over their cigars, will have been reticent on this point?
4075Do you feel better now?
4075Do you happen to know whereabouts Dreever Castle is?"
4075Do you imagine that your blameless past is a sufficient safeguard?
4075Do you know who that is?

4075Do you know, you''re getting a regular Mephistopheles, Spike?
4075Do you mean to tell me it is my bright, brainy, persevering friend Galer who has been handcuffed and locked in the coal- cellar?"
4075Do you realize what you are?
4075Do you realize, my boy, that you''ve let yourself in for buying a dinner for twelve hungry men next week?
4075Do you remember that night we broke into that house uptown-- the police- captain''s house?"
4075Do you think I care for your size?"
4075Do you think I shall let you--?"
4075Do you think you can bully me?
4075Do you understand?"
4075Do you want it at once?"
4075Do you?"
4075Does de odder mug, de vally gazebo, give him de glad eye?
4075Does it not seep into your consciousness that we are, as it were, subtly connected in this house in the minds of certain bad persons?
4075Does n''t it strike you that they are just the sort to get on together?
4075Eh?
4075Eh?
4075Eh?"
4075Ever played picquet?
4075Father, did they miss me when I was gone?
4075Father, will you promise me something?"
4075For what?"
4075Galer?"
4075Gone to bed?
4075Got what?"
4075Got what?"
4075Had he gone mad?
4075Had she liked him?
4075Has Mr. Mifflin come in yet?
4075Have a drink?"
4075Have you any objection to my taking an assistant along with me?
4075Have you any objections to my carving a J on your front- door?"
4075Have you ever spoken to her?"
4075Have you met them?
4075Have you seen an ugly, grinning, red- headed scoundrel hanging about the place?
4075Have you--?"
4075Having breakfast?
4075He did not understand; but things seemed to be taking a turn for the better, so why disturb the harmony?
4075He does n''t expect to stop indefinitely, I suppose?
4075He took a card from his case, scribbled the words,"Can I help?"
4075Here we all are, what?"
4075Honestly, now, was n''t that the game?"
4075Honestly, you do n''t mean to say that was true, was it?
4075How about palming off faked diamonds on Aunt Julia for a gamble?"
4075How are the theatricals going?
4075How are you getting along downstairs?"
4075How did he get here?
4075How did you come to owe it?"
4075How did you guess?
4075How do we go?
4075How do you know I have n''t got a big American reputation?
4075How do you know the cars still run both ways on Broadway?"
4075How do you like it?"
4075How do you spell it?"
4075How does it go?
4075How does that suit you?"
4075How long do you give me, Arthur?"
4075How many seconds have I got now?"
4075How much did it set youse back, boss?"
4075How was he to pay Hargate the money?
4075How would you enjoy being called a super?
4075How''s Miss Molly, boss?"
4075I could n''t do anything to hurt him now, could I?
4075I guess you know why I came in here to see you?"
4075I happen to want-- Can you lend me a fiver?"
4075I love this old place, but surely you ca n''t think that it can really matter in a thing like this?
4075I mean, going on like a frightful music- hall comedian?
4075I only want-- oh, I ca n''t put it into words, but do n''t you see?"
4075I should n''t mind betting that you feel fit for anything?"
4075I suppose a good many of the New York force do get rich by graft?"
4075I suppose you think that these detectives will say to themselves,''Now, whom shall we suspect?
4075I tell you, if you''ll stand in--""Bit risky, is n''t it?"
4075I would have refused him then, and put him out of his misery, only I could n''t very well till he had proposed, could I?
4075I would n''t touch that stuff for a fortune, what?
4075I''ll square up with him now, shall I?"
4075I''ve made my pile, so why continue?"
4075If I was naughty, you could take me up and shake me till I was good, could n''t you?"
4075If it still belongs to Lord Dreever, do n''t you think you ought to consult him before revising his list of guests?"
4075If the stamp would be of any use to you as a start--?
4075If you do n''t want to marry Miss McEachern, why did you propose to her?"
4075If you have no objection?"
4075Is Spennie bringing a friend?"
4075Is dat more dan a pound?"
4075Is dat right?"
4075Is he always like that?
4075Is it a bank, or-- jools?"
4075Is it de old lay?
4075Is n''t she a ripper?"
4075Is n''t that so?
4075Is that better?"
4075Is that what you''re after?"
4075Is this what you feed them on?
4075Is your address on your card?
4075It was sweet of her to be so sympathetic, but was it merely sympathy?
4075It wo n''t be upsetting your arrangements?"
4075It would be deuced bad form, of course, for Jimmy to assault his host, but could Jimmy be trusted to remember the niceties of etiquette?
4075Jimmy, to be foiled, must be watched, and how could he watch him?
4075Jimmy, you do n''t hate me for saying this, do you?"
4075Just because you do n''t know me over here, why scorn me?
4075Let''s be pushing along, shall we?"
4075Lord Dreever might be hounded into proposing to Molly, but what earthly reason was there for supposing that Molly would accept him?
4075Make it more exciting, do n''t you think, if we played for something?"
4075Me?
4075Molly, do you mind if I sing a bar or two?
4075Never mind, call him up, will you?
4075No?
4075No?
4075Not bad my spotting him, was it?
4075Now, do you?"
4075Now, tell me, supposing you were going to break into a villa, what time of night would you do it?"
4075Of course, I loved America, but--""Have you left New York long?"
4075Oh, and by the way, are you any good at acting?
4075Oh, ca n''t you understand?
4075Oh, how could she make him understand?
4075One of those frightful fellows who forgot to pack your collars?
4075Or is it forty million?
4075Patience?"
4075Pitt?"
4075Pitt?"
4075Pitt?"
4075Possibly, if you were to apologize to him--?
4075Probably, Jimmy thought, when the family lawyer had told the light- haired young man the secret, the latter''s comment had been,"No, really?
4075Romeo and Juliet?
4075Say it was all a joke?
4075Say, boss, what''s de game?
4075Say, what do youse t''ink of dem jools, boss?"
4075Say, what''s doin''?
4075Say, what''s he doin''on dis beat?
4075Say, who do you t''ink I nearly bumped me coco ag''inst out in de corridor downstairs?
4075Say, wo n''t youse really--?"
4075Say, would n''t dat make youse glad you had n''t gone to de circus?
4075See?"
4075Seen the paper?"
4075Shall I tell him?
4075So that was what was in that letter, eh?"
4075So, I says all right, where is it?
4075So, dis mug, what''do you t''ink he does?"
4075So, that''s how it happened, is it?
4075Spike, have you ever been best man?
4075Spike?
4075Still, you do n''t snore, do you?
4075Suppose I had n''t an iron will, what would happen?
4075Surely, he did n''t make you walk?"
4075Surely, she was n''t going to start sending him love- letters, or any of that frightful rot?
4075Ten bob a hundred?"
4075That suit you, Jimmy?"
4075That would account for it, would n''t it?"
4075The gods had provided gifts: why not take them?
4075Then, am I to understand you have no objection?
4075Then, why did you break open the drawer?"
4075Then, you did n''t talk with him?"
4075They run as follows--"What he did say was:"Uncle, can you let me have twenty pounds?"
4075This afternoon--""What about this afternoon?"
4075This circumstantial evidence thing is the devil, is n''t it?
4075Twenty pounds, was n''t it?
4075Twenty?
4075Used she to walk alone?"
4075Was I to de bad?
4075Was she a blonde?"
4075Was that Sir Thomas''s idea?
4075Was the duologue a success?
4075Well, what''s her name?"
4075Well, what''s the answer?"
4075Well?"
4075Were n''t you at''Love, the Cracksman''?
4075Were you playing hide- and- seek?"
4075Wha- what''s to prevent him saying he''s done it, whether he has or not?"
4075What I mean is, have you talked at all with that valet man, the one you think is a detective?"
4075What I mean is, why not put off that Japan trip you spoke about, and come down to Dreever with me?"
4075What am I to do if they ask me to play?"
4075What are you doing in my house?"
4075What are you kicking about?
4075What could be easier than to go and get it?
4075What could be more suitable?
4075What could the girl be writing to him about?
4075What did it all matter?
4075What did it matter?
4075What did you do?"
4075What do I do?"
4075What do I want wit more dan one dude suit?"
4075What do you call yourself, I wonder?
4075What do you mean to do?"
4075What do you mean?
4075What do you mean?
4075What do you mean?"
4075What do you propose to do about it?"
4075What do you propose to tell, anyway?"
4075What do you say?"
4075What do you take me for, I should like to know?"
4075What does he want?"
4075What had he been doing?
4075What had he done to deserve this?
4075What had she done that she should be assailed like this?
4075What happened then?"
4075What have you got in there, Pitt?
4075What have you got on just now?"
4075What is it?
4075What makes you think it is all right?"
4075What more had he any right to ask?
4075What on earth''s wrong with you?
4075What tone would you take if a comparative stranger ordered you to leave another man''s house?"
4075What was he saying?
4075What was that noise I heard?"
4075What''ll you bet?"
4075What''ll you bet?"
4075What''s an innocent man going round the country with Spike Mullins for, unless they are standing in together at some game?
4075What''s dat dis side?"
4075What''s dat, boss?
4075What''s dat?"
4075What''s dat?"
4075What''s dere to be raw about, boss?"
4075What''s happened?"
4075What''s my position got to do with it?
4075What''s old man McEachern doin''stunts dis side fer?"
4075What''s that?
4075What''s the idea?
4075What''s the matter?"
4075What''s the matter?"
4075What''s the point of putting up any old yarn like that?
4075What''s the trouble?
4075What''s troubling you?"
4075What''s up?"
4075What''s your name?
4075What''s your trouble?
4075What''s your--?"
4075What''s yours, Jimmy?"
4075What, going?
4075What, me, too?"
4075What?
4075What?"
4075When I''ve just come home?"
4075When did he come back?
4075Where are you living?"
4075Which way do I go?"
4075Who could this be, and why had he not switched on the regular room lights?
4075Who is she?"
4075Who should know it better than myself?
4075Who the devil''s that?"
4075Who the dickens wanted you to look after me?
4075Who''s the other?"
4075Why ai n''t youse sittin''in at de game?
4075Why am I so elusive and mysterious?
4075Why are you here, you and that red- headed devil, Spike Mullins?"
4075Why at me?
4075Why ca n''t you behave, like Rastus?
4075Why could she not understand?
4075Why did you require that money I gave you?"
4075Why do n''t you like him?"
4075Why do n''t you stay where the girl is?"
4075Why had he a torch?
4075Why not change your mind, and stop?"
4075Why not give in, and end it all and win peace?
4075Why not tonight?
4075Why tear yourself away, Spike?"
4075Why these higher mathematics?"
4075Why was Jimmy in the room at that time?
4075Why were you behind the curtain?
4075Why would n''t you do that?"
4075Why, I owe you a fiver, do n''t I, Pitt, old man?"
4075Why, what about this very night, when I asked you for a few pounds?"
4075Why?"
4075Why?"
4075Will you listen to one more before getting busy?"
4075Wo n''t you sit down?"
4075Would it be too much to ask you to forget your professional instincts?
4075Would n''t you, Pitt, old man?"
4075Would there, Pitt, old man?"
4075You came on the Lusitania, I suppose?"
4075You do n''t really mean, that about the hero of the novel?
4075You do n''t think a lot of women, do you?
4075You do n''t want a full description, I suppose?
4075You do n''t want to feel sudden shooting pains, do you?"
4075You do understand, do n''t you?
4075You follow that?
4075You know dat guy dat come dis afternoon-- de guy from de village, dat came wit''old man McEachern?"
4075You know my friend Mr. Mullins, I think?
4075You mentioned to- morrow?
4075You see the idea, do n''t you?
4075You see the importance of this item?
4075You want me to become an accomplice in this beastly, low- down deception?
4075You want me to keep my mouth shut?
4075You were saying--?"
4075You''ll be able to let me sit in at de game, wo n''t you?"
4075You''re angels, and you nearly burst yourselves with joy because auntie had come back from England, did n''t you?
4075You''re cuttin''it out?"
4075You''re going to tell--?"
4075mean?"
4075or Spike?
14332A Russian?
14332A little searching party of her own, eh? 14332 A man killed whilst another man held him-- held him in his arms-- and watched over him, and yet the other man saw nothing of the murderer?
14332A misfortune, my friend? 14332 A slave to a Russian?
14332Ah, do you?
14332Ai n''t you found out even yet, you silly? 14332 All serene, Gov''nor?"
14332An operation to be performed upon my baby boy? 14332 And Lady Wilding is, of course, the beneficiary?"
14332And appearing very much like the inflammation resulting from the bite of a gnat or a spider, Captain?
14332And did n''t?
14332And did so?
14332And do they say that?
14332And he did hear of him, then?
14332And so you are that great man Cleek, are you?
14332And stop until you hear from me?
14332And the horse? 14332 And the letter, monsieur-- the damning letter?"
14332And then what, Captain?
14332And were all the symptoms-- or, rather, the absence of symptoms-- the same?
14332And what are you doing in here, anyhow? 14332 And when will he begin, Mr. Narkom?
14332And who is not her brother, after all?
14332And you found it out only through his telling you, did you not? 14332 And you think the little fellow is in peril?"
14332And you took him in?
14332And you want to find out if he really carried out that threat and did put an end to himself, I suppose? 14332 And you?
14332Anybody a- comin''with him, sir?
14332Anything to do with it? 14332 Are you fishing for a compliment?
14332As for that other time... How could I have expected that you would take it in any other way, being what you are and I what I had been? 14332 As how?"
14332At breakfast?
14332Awful thing, was n''t it? 14332 Bad blood between you, then?"
14332Baron de Carjorac? 14332 Because I did not write?
14332Beer and skittles? 14332 Bimbi says maybe he''s going to be my daddy one day-- didn''t you, Bimbi?"
14332But can you? 14332 But from the sewer?"
14332But how, Mr. Cleek? 14332 But how?
14332But how?
14332But need you go so soon?
14332But not at this late hour, surely? 14332 But to save Mauravania''s queen, monsieur?
14332But what''s that got to do with drugging the whiskey?
14332But why a feint? 14332 But why should we talk of unpleasant things when the future looks so bright?
14332But why? 14332 But you''ll come, wo n''t you?"
14332But, Mr. Cleek, how could it have decided it? 14332 But, my dear Mr. Narkom, would n''t it be better, or, at least, more hospitable if I went over to meet him, in case he does come earlier?
14332Ca n''t you grasp the situation? 14332 Ca n''t you?
14332Ca n''t you?
14332Captain Hawksley? 14332 Cleek in France?
14332Cleek?
14332Clients?
14332Clodoche-- and from the sewers?
14332Collusion?
14332Coriander? 14332 Cut him with a knife?"
14332Did n''t you? 14332 Did you do that to- day at the matinee performance, chevalier?"
14332Do it? 14332 Do n''t think, do you, that there can possibly be any connection between the two cases?
14332Do n''t you?
14332Do you know, you little monkey, that you''re the only soul in all God''s world that could ever muster up a tear for me? 14332 Do you make anything out of it?"
14332Do you mean that?
14332Do you mean to tell me that is what kept you at home? 14332 Do you remember what I said, madame?
14332Do you think I could persuade anybody if a third man perished?
14332Does Marise pay you to sit there like mourners? 14332 Does it?"
14332Dollops, they broke into our holiday-- they did us out of a part of it, did n''t they, old chap?
14332Even though that deceit is the only thing that could give you your heart''s desire? 14332 Even to putting your head in his mouth?"
14332Facts? 14332 Father,"he said,"am I to do the trick to- night?
14332Finch?
14332Five? 14332 Five?"
14332From what source? 14332 Furnace?
14332Gave them up? 14332 Going back on you?"
14332Good heaven, man, you-- you do n''t mean--?
14332Got down to the last ditch-- down to the point of desperation, eh?
14332Happy coincidence my motoring down here-- eh, what? 14332 Has anybody else entered or attempted to enter the house?"
14332Has he not made it yet?
14332Has he, this precious royal master of yours, this usurper-- has he parted with that thing-- the wondrous Rainbow Pearl?
14332Has it ever done so?
14332Has that been lost?
14332He has a rich friend, then?
14332He took the bait, then, Cleek?
14332Helping you? 14332 Henry, will you never be warned, never take these awful lessons to heart?
14332Her? 14332 Here,"tapping her bodice and laughing,"tenderly shielded,_ mon ami_, and why not?
14332Here?
14332His body? 14332 His royal master?
14332How did it happen that she had n''t seen him in all that time? 14332 How did the Earl of Wynraven''s son come to meet this singularly fascinating lady, and where?"
14332How do you know that?
14332How killed, Sir Henry? 14332 Hullo, Smathers, you in this, too?"
14332I wonder if I deserve that? 14332 I wonder if the chevalier himself would be as safe if he were to make a feint of doing that?"
14332I wonder if you understand that I shall be kicking my heels on my bedside until it is ready?--that I sha n''t sleep a wink all night?
14332I? 14332 I?
14332In his hands? 14332 In the name of Heaven, man, who and what are you?"
14332Indeed? 14332 Interfering with young ladies, eh?
14332Is anybody interested in your not putting Black Riot into the field on Derby Day? 14332 Is it a panel?
14332Is it the lion again? 14332 Is that a fact?"
14332Is that a fact?
14332Is that all, Miss Lorne, or am I right in supposing that there is even worse to come?
14332It did come, then?
14332It is an age- old maxim, is it not, Mr. Cleek, that two wrongs can not by any possibility constitute a right? 14332 It is known that I have been with them-- the Comstocks-- and it is all so mysterious and awful.... Oh, who can tell whose hand it may be?
14332It is quite the size of a pigeon''s egg, I believe; is it not, Count?
14332It was the French position that you chose, then? 14332 It will be the story of last night over again, of course?
14332It''s a compact, then?
14332Johnston, stop!--turn round!--are you out of your head? 14332 Just have a look at it, will you?
14332Knew, Mr. Cleek? 14332 Know of it?
14332Lady Wilding, will you oblige me by standing here? 14332 Left what?
14332Little Lord Chepstow?
14332Look here,he said laconically,"what do you think of this?"
14332Look''ere, are n''t you a- goin''to do it quiet, or are you a- goin''to mike me tike the blessed thing from you?
14332Make a feint of it? 14332 Mates, monsieur?
14332Maurice Van Nant? 14332 May I ask who else is in the house besides the servants?"
14332May I ask why?
14332May I ask why?
14332May I ask, Major, why you speak of the lady in the present tense and of the man in the past? 14332 May I say again, that I am not sorry I told you?
14332May n''t be? 14332 Meaning Captain Morford?"
14332Mind? 14332 Miriam, Flora, and... Miss Lorne, will you tell me please the name of the lady to whom Captain Morford is engaged?"
14332Miss Lorne will hand you over to Nursie with orders to put you to bed if you do,_ I_ know-- won''t you, Miss Lorne?
14332Miss Lorne, am I to understand that this Captain Morford is engaged to a girl who has_ brothers_?
14332Miss Morrison,he inquired as Mary returned in company with the superintendent,"Miss Morrison, do you keep pigeons?"
14332Monsieur knows of the gem, then?
14332Monsieur, you then are the great, the astonishing Cleek? 14332 Monsieur,"cried out madame,"monsieur, what is the meaning of that?
14332Mother and brothers?--_brothers_?
14332Mr. Narkom, do me a favour, will you? 14332 Mr. Smeer does not approve of the race track, of course?"
14332Murple is the groom who was paralysed, is he not?
14332Must we disturb him? 14332 My dear Cleek, could n''t a parakeet be made to swallow a pearl?"
14332My dear Cleek, did you find anything?
14332My dear Miss Lorne, what are you saying?
14332My dear chap, you ca n''t really place any credence in that absurd assertion regarding the blue belt? 14332 My things packed and ready?"
14332New Zealand?
14332Not secured? 14332 Not surely when you are so tired as you say?"
14332Nothing worth looking into, superintendent?
14332Now, what are you after, you goat? 14332 Of a what?"
14332Of course, Carboys treated it as the veriest rubbish-- who would n''t? 14332 Oh, Mr. Cleek, have you any idea-- any clue?"
14332Oh, Mr. Cleek, you think you can get the stolen paper back? 14332 Oh, Mr. Narkom, what was it-- that noise I heard?"
14332Oh, he did that, did he? 14332 Oh, how could you know that, Mr. Cleek?
14332Oh, it''s that kind of case, is it?
14332Oh, that?
14332Oh, then you do keep them?
14332On your word of honour as a soldier and a gentleman, is that true?
14332Or, at least, to have you point out the hiding- place of them?
14332Others? 14332 Parakeets?"
14332Procure you a position, Miss Lorne? 14332 Really?
14332Remember it? 14332 Reward?
14332Ripping day, is n''t it? 14332 Ripping, was n''t it, old chap?"
14332Save the what?
14332Shall I show you how much I do respect you, then?
14332Shall I take off my hat and say''thank you, ma''am''; or just the hackneyed''Praise from Sir Hubert is praise indeed''?
14332Shall we go on? 14332 She intends doing that, then?
14332Shortly, the chemist? 14332 Sir Henry,"he said, after a moment,"may I ask how long it is since you were in South America?"
14332Sir Horace came down to look at the furnace? 14332 Sir Horace came down?"
14332Slipping off, sir?
14332Smart capture, Bobby, was n''t it?
14332So that he, naturally, would move heaven and earth to prevent his grandson and heir from marrying a young woman of that class? 14332 So the lady was of the careful and calculating kind?
14332Something you want attended to on the quiet?
14332Still, it will be one of the two certainly?
14332Strangled? 14332 Suppose I do n''t''run you in,''as you put it?
14332Surely, Miss Lorne, you-- are not afraid of me?
14332Takes it hard, poor old chap, does n''t he?
14332Tell me, if it is not an impertinent question, did you take out an insurance policy on Murple''s life and pay the premium on it yourself? 14332 That Patagonian plant, eh?
14332That is your ladyship''s son, is it not?
14332That? 14332 The Baron von Steinheid?"
14332The Yard?
14332The method of procedure?
14332The trouble arises from someone or something in his own household?
14332Then in the name of Heaven, Cleek, what has become of the money?
14332Then it is fair,said Cleek,"to suppose, in that case, that you have taken out one on your own life?"
14332Then it is only when they are dressed and made up for the performance, eh? 14332 Then it was you I heard behind me?"
14332Then the blunderer shot the child instead of the native?
14332Then who are you? 14332 Then why should you?"
14332Then, monsieur, how are we to seize them? 14332 There was an estate, then?"
14332There''s something you want to say to me, is n''t there?
14332They are beautiful, are n''t they?
14332To receive the jewel and the letter?
14332Two hundred quid? 14332 Villa de Carjorac?
14332Was it his hand that gave it up?
14332Well, to get on: the Comstocks were down in the deeps, and no hope of hearing any more from Australia and Uncle Phil, eh? 14332 Well, what next?
14332Well?
14332What a trial he must have been to the glove trade, must n''t he?
14332What could you have said if you had spoken?
14332What do you make of it, Cleek?
14332What do you mean by saying that Sir Horace came down?
14332What do you mean by that?
14332What do you mean by''that''s all''? 14332 What has happened?
14332What is it?
14332What monstrous juggle is this? 14332 What shall you mean by that''going back on you''--eh?
14332What the dickens are you talking about, Cleek? 14332 What was the charge at the garage?"
14332What''s a horse-- even the best-- beside the loss of an honest life like that?
14332What''s that? 14332 What''s the matter?
14332What''s your name?
14332When you what?
14332When? 14332 Where is it?
14332Where is the fragment we already possess?
14332Which, of course, he declined to do?
14332Who and what was the man? 14332 Who in this house could?
14332Who is responsible for that ridiculous assertion, I wonder? 14332 Who is there?
14332Who the deuce asked you for your opinion?
14332Who told him that it does better in the atmosphere of a stable?
14332Who?
14332Why Miriam Comstock, of course-- did I forget to mention it?
14332Why did n''t you say it was you, sir?
14332Why give it up then, Miss Lorne?
14332Why not go on letting me be your last hope-- your only hope?
14332Why not?
14332Why should n''t I know when I''ve been after him ever since he left Scotland Yard half an hour ago?
14332Why should n''t it? 14332 Why then did he not appeal to the police?"
14332Why wait for written reports, Mr. Cleek? 14332 Why?
14332Why? 14332 Why?"
14332Will I? 14332 Will the boy do it to- night, then, chevalier?"
14332Will you let me thank you? 14332 Wot''s it now, Gov''nor?--the railway station?
14332Wot''s the lay now? 14332 Yes, Gov''nor?"
14332Yes, I do see, chevalier; but I wonder if he would be willing to humour me in something? 14332 Yes, but why?"
14332Yes, but why?
14332Yes, but-- who knows? 14332 Yes, my friend, but''Margot''--how about her?"
14332Yes, old chap?
14332Yes, old chap?
14332Yes, sir?
14332Yes-- why not?
14332Yes; why not? 14332 You are certain it is not a fancy, but an absolute fact?"
14332You are travelling with a servant?
14332You drugged me?
14332You found them? 14332 You gave him a chance?
14332You have brought your motor, of course? 14332 You have n''t brought them with you, I hope, Mr. Narkom?
14332You hear that, Clopin? 14332 You looked into heaven, and-- well, what then?
14332You think it was fired, then?
14332You think they have to do with the hiding of the paper or the pearl, cher ami? 14332 You think, then, that the thing is genuine?"
14332You what?
14332You will let me have the privilege, the honour? 14332 You wot called, was it?
14332You would not think of calling Paganini a''fiddler,''he wrote;"why, then, should you degrade me with the coarse term of''cracksman''?
14332You''d have put a bullet through me at the first word, would n''t you, but for that little''bluff''of suspecting and arresting another man? 14332 You, Miss Lorne?"
14332You, sir, are that great man? 14332 You-- I-- Look here, I say now, what does this mean?
14332You-- you do n''t mean that she-- that Zuilika-- killed him?
14332_ Dix mille pardons, M''sieur_, there is something amiss?
14332''Ere you are, Miss Lorne-- lay hold of his little lordship, will you?
14332*****"How did I guess it?"
14332*****"How did I know that the body was inside the statue?"
14332*****"How did I know the man?"
14332--holding up the package he was carrying--"or a chance for me to do some fly catchin''with me bloomin''tickle tootsies?"
14332--the cold bore of a revolver barrel touched her temple and wrung a quaking gasp of terror from her--"Do you feel that?
14332--to the chauffeur--"Lanisterre, do you hear?"
14332A double- quick change?
14332A man to get a magic belt, to put it on, and then to melt away?
14332A position as what?"
14332A woman of that class?"
14332Admiring the view or taking stock of Mrs. Culpin''s roses?"
14332After he had risked so much to get them?
14332Ai n''t et summink wot''s disagreed with you, have you, sir?"
14332Ai n''t got such a thing as a biscuit about yer, have you?
14332All ready there, Marguerite?
14332All ready, Mr. Narkom?
14332All the soap dishes in the house left filled last night and found filled this morning, captain?"
14332An absurd belief, to be sure, but who can argue with a superstitious people or hammer wisdom into the minds of babies?
14332And Lady Wilding and Mr. Sharpless-- do they, too, disapprove of racing?"
14332And after all,"Thou shalt not enter"was to be written over the gateway of his ambition?
14332And do you see those serpentine tracks through the middle of it?
14332And drop it I would not after_ you_ had asked me to accept it, and-- Pardon?
14332And had it been on that of the mother''s as well?"
14332And how, pray, should we live if that were to happen?"
14332And in London?
14332And what can that have to do with your impoverished state?"
14332And what does all that gibberish and that word''Ayupee''mean?"
14332And what''s a Brazilian doing in the army of the Kaiser?
14332And when does it happen in their case-- during the course of the show, or when there is nobody about but those connected with it?"
14332And where''s a cove goin''to_ find_ this''ere''honest work''you''re a- talkin''of?
14332And who may he be, Mr. Van Nant?"
14332And why not?
14332And why should he include me?"
14332And yet-- and yet-- Ah, monsieur, how can I fail to feel as I do when this change in the lion came with that man''s coming?
14332And you mean to tell me--""That they employed one of these deadly reptiles in this case?
14332And, having been in it, what''s he doing dropping into this line-- backing a circus, and travelling with it like a Bohemian?"
14332And_ that_ has been lost-- that gem so dear to Mauravania''s people, so important to Mauravania''s crown?"
14332Any idea of what-- and how?"
14332Any light in the darkness, old chap?
14332Are we to fly at once to the mill and join him?
14332Are you here?"
14332Are you?"
14332Are your sympathies with the unfortunate so keen, monsieur, that even this stray cur may claim them?"
14332As for his identification of the body-- well, if the widow herself could find points of undisputed resemblance, why not he?
14332At once, at once, do you hear?
14332Avenge his death?
14332Bawdrey?"
14332Better?"
14332Bonny little specimen of a Britisher, is n''t he?"
14332But about that letter?
14332But if there''s any messidge-- I say, who wants him?
14332But is there anybody who would have a particular interest in your failure?"
14332But of a sudden:"Miss Lorne,"he said, in a curiously tense voice,"may I ask you something?
14332But tell me, does she show no anxiety, no fear of a search?"
14332But then I do not care to get on the back of one-- so why?"
14332But what interest could she or any of her tribe have in the death of Lady Chepstow''s little son?
14332But what of it?
14332But why should you connect these two persons with this inexplicable thing?
14332But yes, vat shall that mean-- eh?"
14332But, enlighten me upon a puzzling point, Sir Henry: What do you use coriander and oil of sassafras for in a stable?"
14332But, of a sudden:"You came here directly after the matinee, I suppose?"
14332But, pardon me, have you met with an accident, Mr. Bawdrey?
14332By any chance that Sir Henry Wilding whose mare, Black Riot, is the favourite for next Wednesday''s Derby?"
14332By what means?"
14332Ca n''t you do something?
14332Ca n''t you do this?
14332Ca n''t you see any glimmer of light at all?"
14332Ca n''t you see how nervous, how frightened, I am?
14332Ca n''t you suggest something?
14332Call this sort of tomfoolery being protected by the police?
14332Came in to put more of the cursed stuff on the ninth finger of the skeleton, so that it would be ready for the next time, did n''t he, Dollops?"
14332Can you remember what he said when he did that?
14332Can you, monsieur-- can you?"
14332Can you?"
14332Case?"
14332Cleek?
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332Cleek?"
14332College man, are n''t you?
14332Come, may we not give ourselves a pleasant evening?
14332Could any man resist the temptation to use it when he was endowed by Nature with the power to do this?"
14332Could any man''go straight''with a fateful gift like that if the laws of Nature said that he should not?"
14332Could n''t manage to take me round behind the scenes, so to speak, if Mr. Narkom will lend us his motor to hurry us there?
14332Could, eh?
14332Dear God in heaven, Mr. Cleek, what are you hinting at?"
14332Dear God, can this be true?"
14332Did I carry it off all right, Gov''nor?
14332Did I do it jist as you wanted of it done?"
14332Did Ulchester take kindly to this housing of the mummy of his father- in- law and the eventual coffin of his wife?
14332Did anybody get at that?"
14332Did anything happen?"
14332Did he come?
14332Did the men on guard hear no cry?"
14332Did you see him, sir?
14332Do I puzzle you by that?
14332Do it?
14332Do me a favour, will you?
14332Do n''t mind if I sit in that corner and draw the curtain a little, do you?"
14332Do n''t you hear them?"
14332Do n''t you hear, you idiot?"
14332Do n''t you see the answers, the acknowledgments, in the''Personal''columns of the papers now and again?
14332Do you grasp it?"
14332Do you know me?
14332Do you know that I have a natural predilection for such things?
14332Do you know what''s going to happen to you?
14332Do you know who you had in your hands?
14332Do you know who you let go?
14332Do you know?
14332Do you mean that ripping old firebrand?"
14332Do you mean to say--?"
14332Do you mind?"
14332Do you object to that, or may I go on?"
14332Do you remember Hamilton, the medical student, in New Zealand, eight years ago?
14332Do you remember what I said about hitting upon a theory and offering it to the medical fraternity, only to get laughed at for my pains?
14332Do you see where I sifted it over this spot near the Patagonian plant?
14332Do you think the riddle you have brought is beyond my powers?"
14332Do you understand?
14332Do you understand?"
14332Do you want me?"
14332Do you want to know how he killed his victims, and what he used?
14332Do you?
14332Does the lion never''smile''for any of those?"
14332Does your father do so, too?"
14332Doubtless you have heard of that?"
14332Eh?"
14332Eh?"
14332Feel that you can rely on Logan, do you?"
14332Filled up, eh?"
14332Finch is the fellow''s name-- isn''t it, doctor, eh?"
14332For what?
14332For who can fight a thing unseen and unknown?"
14332From now till Thursday with jist you-- jist_ you_, sir?
14332From whose hand?"
14332Gawd''s truth, sir, you are n''t never a- goin''to give me two sich treats as that?
14332Gimme the tip wot kind of work I_ can_ do for you, Gov''nor, will you?
14332Got any more amazing things-- gems, I mean-- like that wonderful scarab?
14332Had you any old friend in your college days whom your father only knew by name and who is now too far off for the imposture to be discovered?"
14332Has he been here?
14332Has he expectations of any kind?"
14332Has he succeeded?
14332Has it anything to do with the case you have in hand?"
14332Has she come out of her retirement yet?"
14332Have Gaston and Serpice arrived yet with the rest of the document, Margot la reine?"
14332Have you any idea?
14332Have you caught him?
14332Have you found such things here?"
14332Have you lost your wits?
14332He is closely spied upon, then?"
14332He is good company-- he talks well, he sings well, he is very handsome and-- well, what difference can it make to you?
14332He stood waiting until the motor was abreast of him-- had, in fact, come to a standstill-- then spoke in a guarded tone:"What is it, Lennard?"
14332He''d not be expectin''a stable to be scented with eau de cologne, would he?
14332Headland?
14332Hear any more from Uncle Phil after that?"
14332Heard of him, have n''t you?
14332Heaven forbid it, of course, but if anything should happen to Logan to- night, whom would you put on guard over the horse to- morrow?"
14332Heavens above, Marguerite, did n''t you tell him?"
14332Hide the pearl in it?
14332Hop into it, will you, and meet me at the Fiddle and Horseshoe, between Shepherd''s Bush and Acton?
14332How are they managing it, those two?
14332How could the tossing of that coin have decided the sex of the wearer of those garments?"
14332How did you get them out of the house?"
14332How does the lady take it?
14332How get them into our possession, his Majesty and I?"
14332How has it come about?
14332How is the poor old dear this morning, darling?
14332How much respect will you have for him if he never lives up to his promise; never goes to Clarges Street at all?
14332How, then, could you guess?"
14332I are n''t too young to be''ungry, am I?
14332I confess I have n''t the ghost of an idea regarding the case, Captain; but if you do n''t mind letting your daughter show me the room--""Mind?
14332I had hoped that that might tempt a clever detective to take up the case; but what is such a sum to such a man as you?"
14332I may not care to take the case when I hear it, so what''s the use of letting everybody know who I am?"
14332I said in the beginning that his was either a case of swindling or a case of murder, did I not?
14332I said, did I not, that I wanted to win her, wanted to be worthy of her, wanted to climb up and stand with her in the light?
14332I say, Gov''nor, take off his silver wristlets, will you, sir, and lemme have jist ten minutes with him on my own?
14332I say, Mr. Narkom, do give me a cup of tea, will you?
14332I say, sir,"agitatedly,"look wot''s wrote on the envellup, will yer?
14332I say: you''re not going to stop now that the great race is over, are you?
14332I shall be right, shall I not, in supposing that all this is merely the preface to something else?"
14332I should have thought he could have managed that, should n''t you, Mr. Narkom, if he could have managed the business of making him melt into thin air?
14332I should have thought you would have remembered that, Mr. Cleek, when-- But perhaps you have never heard?
14332I suppose that fellow Merode, as he calls himself, is in his room, waiting?"
14332I suppose, Mr. Headland, that Mr. Narkom has told you something about the case?"
14332I take it there must have been some good reason, Captain?"
14332I want to get into every man''s room here, and wherever I find poison-- well, you understand?"
14332I wonder how much it will surprise you to learn that, at the present moment, I have just one hundred pounds in all the world?"
14332If a message was sent him by a carrier pigeon, where must that pigeon have come from, since it was one of Miss Morrison''s?"
14332In other words, that that fellow you suspected in New Zealand did n''t really die after all?"
14332In that safe?"
14332Intends to take no further step toward proving it?"
14332Is he dead?"
14332Is it done?"
14332Is it possible that you can have blood in your veins and yet take wondrous things like this so calmly?"
14332Is nothing else possible?
14332Is she safe?"
14332Is that agreeable, Mr. Van Nant?"
14332Is that the letter in your hand?
14332Is that what you said?"
14332Is the boy killed?
14332Is the chevalier well- to- do?
14332Is there anything we can do to help?"
14332Is there anything you will need before you leave?"
14332Is this the door of the picture- gallery, Sir Horace?"
14332Is this the way?"
14332Is this the welcome you give the bringer of fortune, Margot?"
14332It is fair to suppose, from your rushing out here in quest of me, that you''ve got something on hand, is n''t it?"
14332It is you--_you_--that calls upon me?"
14332It was a significant glance, and said as plainly as so many words:"What do you think of it?
14332It was horribly disfigured-- by contact with the piers and passing vessels-- but she and Anita-- and-- and my son--""Your son, Major?
14332It''s a bully old world after all, is n''t it, Major?"
14332Just look at it, will you, old chap?"
14332Know anything about Richmond?"
14332Know it, do n''t you?
14332Landlady, see that we are not disturbed, will you, and that nobody is admitted but the parties I mentioned?"
14332Let Dollops go home by train, and you meet me as I''ve asked, will you?"
14332Let''s have a game of''Slap Hand,''you and I-- what?
14332Look here"--he put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a gold piece--"do you know what that is, Major?"
14332Look here, Captain Travers: what do you think of this fellow''s little game?
14332Look here, Mrs. Bawdrey; look here Captain Travers; what do you think of a little rat like this?"
14332Look here, do you know who you''re dealing with now?
14332Lost in speculation?
14332Madame, do you like music?
14332Mates?
14332Mauravania''s heir and-- a Russian?"
14332May I trouble you for a pin?
14332May I?
14332Mr. Cleek, are you here?
14332Mr. Narkom promised to look out for that, and-- I beg pardon?
14332Mr. Narkom--"he turned to the superintendent--"keep an eye on Dollops for me, will you?
14332My God, what are they doing it with?
14332My dear Cleek, you do n''t believe that the man has been murdered?"
14332My dear Cleek, you were serious, then?
14332My signal is already hung out; shall we agree to the conditions and give him yours?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332Narkom?"
14332No''smile''for your old Tom, is there, Nero, boy, eh?
14332Nobody can go by his looks; so how do you know?"
14332Not so much of a money grabber as that muff Headland wanted you to believe, is he-- eh?
14332Now then, what is it?
14332Now what do you make of it?"
14332Now what''s the password that Clodoche must give to Margot to- night at''The Twisted Arm''?
14332Now, if you know, tell me what did the chevalier mean, what did his wife mean, when they spoke of a dream that might have come true, but did n''t?
14332Now, if you please, Mr. Sharpless, will you stand beside her ladyship while I take up my place here immediately behind you both?
14332Now, please, may we not walk faster?
14332Now, the wig and beard, and after that-- What''s that you say?
14332Now?"
14332Of course that particular window opened upon a balcony or something of that sort, did n''t it?"
14332Oh, Mr. Cleek, can we?
14332Oh, Mr. Headland, do you think it is anything in the nature of a clue?"
14332Oh, Mr. Narkom, can this be true?"
14332Oh, monsieur, wizard though you are, can you get them past her guards?
14332Oh, please will you go to him?
14332Oh, who could have the heart?
14332Oil of sassafras?
14332One of''nobbling''?
14332Only''grateful,''I wonder?
14332Or is that really natural modesty?
14332Or not this week at all?
14332Or perhaps it may really be said to begin again where Shorty, the chemist, died, and the celebrated Spofford mystery ended-- eh, doctor?
14332Or was he willing to stand for anything so long as he got possession of the huge fortune the old man left?"
14332Or would you prefer that I should remain in the background as before?"
14332Or, if you have not, do you think your fiancà © e has?"
14332Owe me?
14332Oxon or Cantab?"
14332Pardon, but surely I have had the pleasure of meeting monsieur before?
14332Pardon?
14332Quite settled, both of you?
14332Ready with the motor, chauffeur?
14332Rum, my turning up just after Miss Lorne had written you and at a time when we both are needed, was n''t it?"
14332Seriously?"
14332Shall I nip off ahead or keep with you till we get there?"
14332Shall I secure your tickets?
14332Shall we give him the pledge he asks, Sir Horace?
14332She had died-- but from what?
14332She returned, then?"
14332Signalling?
14332Sir Henry"--he turned again to the baronet--"do you trust everybody else connected with your establishment as much as you trust Logan?"
14332Sir Horace, why did n''t you think to tell me of this thing before?"
14332So that was how it was to end, was it?
14332So there is money in the background, eh?
14332So this dear, deluded old gentleman, having failed to secure a''rune''in Java, brought back something equally cryptic-- a woman?
14332So, then, it was all to be in vain, was it, this long struggle with the Devil of Circumstances, this long striving for a Goal?
14332Some four or five months ago, was n''t it?"
14332Somebody trying to get at the mare?"
14332Soon?"
14332Speak up, speak up, you hear?
14332Stabbed or shot?"
14332Suppose I take a chance and lend you five shillings, will you do some work and pay it back to me in time?"
14332Suppose we say to- morrow noon?
14332Sure of it, Sir Henry?"
14332Surely they have got the wretch at last?"
14332Surely when you see it you will be able to satisfy any misgivings you may have?"
14332Surely, monsieur, I have seen you there?"
14332Tell me, how did this Russian get the jewel, and when?"
14332Tell me-- I''ll respect it-- tell me, for God''s sake, man, who are you?
14332That French lady, or the red- headed party in the grey suit?"
14332That was what it meant, eh?
14332That you have been reading about the preparations for the forthcoming coronation of King Ulric of Mauravania?"
14332That''s the idea, is n''t it?"
14332That''s the sculptor fellow you said in the beginning had gone through his money, is n''t it?"
14332That''s what you might call''giving with both hands,''Major, eh?"
14332That''s why you have come to me, eh?
14332The beard is real?
14332The cases were somewhat similar, judging from the scanty outline you have given me, and-- What''s that?
14332The cops''ull know me; and when you''ve got the nime-- well, wot''s the odds?
14332The hair is real?
14332The man had touched you, spoken to you, even caught up your hand and put it to his lips?
14332The matter could n''t possibly have ended there, or else why this appeal to me?"
14332The next day?
14332The only thing that could open the Gates of Heaven for you?"
14332The paper, my friend; you have brought it?
14332The question is, which?
14332The soap?
14332The son of the man who drove an Englishman''s wife and an Englishman''s children into exile-- poverty-- misery-- despair?"
14332Them beauties?
14332Then Mr. Sharpless has been to South America, has he?"
14332Then he turned to the Captain''s daughter, and asked quietly:"Would you mind letting me see the room from which the young man disappeared?
14332Then it-- it''s not a mistake?
14332Then of course she had no opportunity of seeing her uncle until he came here?"
14332Then the thing appeared, I suppose?"
14332Then who connected with the hall has been?"
14332Then:"Is that true, Count?"
14332There is no clue to the actual person and he is so cunning, so crafty-- Oh, please, will you go?
14332They will not come off?
14332This is Tuesday evening, is n''t it?
14332This woman and this one- eyed man appeared last week in Mauravania, you say?"
14332Those must have been trying times, Lady Chepstow, for the commandant''s wife, the mother of the commandant''s only child?"
14332Thought you could lead me by the nose, and push me into finding those phials just where you wanted them found, did n''t you?
14332Thought you had a noodle to deal with, did n''t you, Mr. Philip Bawdrey?
14332Three days, Count; three days, monsieur with the puppy dog; three days, and not an instant longer, do you hear?"
14332To do a thing like that?"
14332To him?
14332To that boy?
14332To whom did he part with this gem-- a woman?"
14332To whom?"
14332To- morrow?
14332Two hun-- W- what are you talking about?
14332Was even the fancied moment in Paradise to be denied him then?
14332Was he living in the same house with his fiancà © e, then?
14332Was n''t it a kinematograph picture, after all?"
14332Was n''t it true?
14332Was n''t too much, was it, sir?"
14332Was that same minute swelling-- the mark like a gnat''s bite-- on the neck of the boy''s body, too?
14332Was the lady of his choice a native or merely an inhabitant of the island?"
14332Was the person you allude to as''Young Phil''one of the sons that was murdered?"
14332Was the place his home, as well as Captain Morrison''s, then?"
14332Was there any mark on the door of the steel stall?"
14332Was there no struggle?
14332Well, if he dies without one, who will inherit his money, as I am an only child?"
14332What a detective he''d a made, would n''t he, if he''d only a- turned his attention that way, and been on the side of the law instead of against it?
14332What about me, old chap?
14332What are you doing?
14332What are you doing?"
14332What are you giving me, you josser?"
14332What are you talking about?"
14332What are you, Cleek?
14332What are you?
14332What can possibly have caused the good lady to do a thing like that?"
14332What can the ruined Château Larouge possibly have to do with the affairs of the Baron de Carjorac, Miss Lorne, that you connect them like this?"
14332What can you be hinting against that poor, dear boy?
14332What could make you think otherwise?"
14332What do you make of that?"
14332What do you think, Henry?
14332What do you want?"
14332What do you want?"
14332What for?"
14332What furnace?
14332What game, Mr. Bawdrey?
14332What has happened?"
14332What has he done?
14332What has made a woman like this pick up a fellow of his stamp?
14332What has the young beggar invented, then?"
14332What is it that has happened to your countenance?
14332What is it that she is doing?"
14332What is it?
14332What is it?
14332What is it?
14332What is it?"
14332What is the password of the brotherhood to the cause of Germany, stupid?
14332What is this incomprehensible thing of which both you and Baron de Carjorac have spoken-- this thing you allude to as''The Red Crawl''?"
14332What lion-- Nero?
14332What next?
14332What next?
14332What next?"
14332What next?"
14332What next?"
14332What on earth are you doing?"
14332What on earth can be his object?
14332What on earth can soap dishes have to do with it, man?"
14332What others?
14332What paralysed him, do you think?"
14332What poison, man, what poison-- what?"
14332What sort of a case is it?"
14332What steps have you taken, Count, to prevent this?"
14332What the dickens are you talking about?"
14332What the dickens did you mean just now when you spoke about''the lion''s change''and''the lion''s smile''?
14332What the dickens is this?
14332What then, Miss Lorne, what then?"
14332What would I be doing reading matters of that kind?
14332What''her''?"
14332What''s driven you to a dog''s life like this?"
14332What''s his little game, I wonder?
14332What''s it all about?"
14332What''s that, Mr. Van Nant?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s that?
14332What''s the case?
14332What''s un name, sir?"
14332What''s wrong?"
14332What_ is_ the use?"
14332When Baron de Carjorac recovered his senses after his horrifying experience--""That document was gone?"
14332When and how shall I expect to see you again?
14332When can you take hold of the case?
14332When did you learn of it?"
14332When will you have your luggage ready?
14332When, do you fancy?
14332When, sir-- when?"
14332When, where, and how did these mysterious murders begin, Captain, if you please?"
14332When?
14332Where and how does that come in?"
14332Where are the jewels?
14332Where did you come from?"
14332Where is he?
14332Where is it?"
14332Where is the boy, now?"
14332Where''s the narker-- where-- where?"
14332Where, if you please, did you acquire yours?"
14332Where, if you please, did you acquire yours?"
14332Where?"
14332Which way did he go?
14332Who are you?
14332Who are you?"
14332Who does not?
14332Who is Mr. Harmstead, Captain?"
14332Who is he?"
14332Who is he?"
14332Who would be likely to connect him with the death of a beast- tamer in a circus, who had perished in what would appear an accident of his calling?
14332Who would not mother a thing that is to bring one four hundred thousand francs?"
14332Who would, after having been promised wealth, education, everything one had confessed that one most desired?
14332Who''s to tell as he are n''t in with they devils as is after Black Riot?
14332Who?
14332Why a''misfortune,''pray?
14332Why are you following me?
14332Why could not fate have spared the Villa de Carjorac?
14332Why did n''t you say so in the beginning?
14332Why do you say that you do n''t like it?"
14332Why does it''smile''for no others?
14332Why does she curry favour of him and his rich friend?"
14332Why have you arrested the Señor Sperati?
14332Why in the world did n''t you tell me in the first place?"
14332Why is it only they-- my father, my brother-- they alone?"
14332Why not call in person and see?"
14332Why not stop on a day or two and call and see her?"
14332Why not tell me at once that you are a winkle stall- keeper and be done with it?
14332Why not the actual thing?"
14332Why, I wonder?
14332Why, how could you?"
14332Why?
14332Why?"
14332Wilder ones have come true for other people; why should they not for you?"
14332Will not that hurry you,_ la reine_?"
14332Will that do?"
14332Will this way lead me out?
14332Will you allow me to escort you across the heath and see you safely on your way home?
14332Will you come to the rescue, for my sake?
14332Will you come?"
14332Will you do nothing for her?"
14332Will you have the tea?"
14332Will you play the part of friend and guide and see me safely across the Channel?"
14332Will you, Mr. Narkom?
14332Will you?"
14332Wo n''t you and Mr. Narkom go up and search without me?
14332Wonder if it''s yours, madam?"
14332Wot price me for arnswerin''of you, eh?"
14332Wot''s that?
14332Wot?
14332Wot?
14332Wot?
14332Would any man have failed to fly to face the author of a foul lie like that?"
14332Would he be there?
14332Would he ever be nearer to it than he was to- night?
14332Would he ever get that reward?
14332Would you like me to show you the way?"
14332Would you mind letting him make the feint you yourself made a few minutes ago?
14332Yet if he does live up to it, will he not be doubly worth the saving?
14332You accuse Uncle Phil?"
14332You ai n''t a- going to tell me that he''s been there?
14332You are going for a ride with me; and if-- Oh, that''s your little game, is it?"
14332You are not interested in_ me, amigo_?"
14332You are still stopping in the house, you and your son, I think you remarked?
14332You believe you can outwit those dreadful people and save the Baron de Carjorac''s honour and his life?"
14332You ca n''t possibly think that Abdul ben Meerza really sent the thing?"
14332You came in your limousine, of course?
14332You can remember it, can you not?"
14332You did?
14332You do n''t mean to tell me that you had him-- had him in your hands-- and then let him go?
14332You do n''t mean to tell me that you let them take you in like that-- those two?
14332You do n''t never_ mean_ that, sir?"
14332You got him, then-- got him after all?"
14332You grabbed him, did n''t you-- eh?"
14332You hear that, my good servitors?
14332You heard his scream, heard his fall, but he was dead when you got to him-- dead-- and you found no one here?"
14332You heard me signal you to head him off, did n''t you?"
14332You held them?
14332You helped him to redeem himself?
14332You know that blessed room at the angle just opposite the library-- the one with the locked door?"
14332You mean it-- mean it?
14332You meant it?
14332You really do?"
14332You really hope to get the things?
14332You remember when I excused myself and went back on the pretext of having forgotten my magnifying glass the other day?
14332You saw her lift that trap; and-- what then?"
14332You took possession of them last night?
14332You wanted the murderer of Mrs. Comstock and her children, did n''t you?
14332You''d think her heart was breaking, would n''t you?
14332You''ll use an alias, of course?"
14332You''re not going back on me, are you?"
14332You''re not going to ruin the show, are you, and after all the money I''ve put into it?
14332You''ve come for us, I suppose?
14332You, is it, Mr. Narkom?
14332You, monsieur?
14332You-- you do not mean to tell me that he caused that?
14332You-- you really believe that suspicion points to Sir Gilbert Morford?"
14332Young or old?"
14332Your men will not want to search me of course, when I am merely popping out and popping in again like that, I am sure?"
14332Your son?"
14332_ What_ are you, dear friend?"
14332_ Wot?_ Oh, go throw summink at yourself!
14332a secret door?
14332and, also, why?
14332de Carjorac must make her home at the Château until the necessary repairs could be completed; and, of course, the baron had to go with her?"
14332do you see them-- do you, madame?
14332exclaimed the Count,"monsieur, what juggle is this?
14332he said, in a voice that shook with nervous catches and the emotion of a soul deeply stirred,"Cleek to take the case?
14332or what?
14332or what?
14332then he is dead, eh?
14332what are you saying?"
14332what do you suppose that means?"
14332what have you stumbled upon now?"
14332what is it?
14332what is it?"
14332what is wrong?"
14332what''s that?"
14332what''s this thing?"
14332when?
14332where?"
14332who can tell?
14332who may be spying?
14332why do n''t you answer me, instead of staring at me like this?
14332will no one tell me what has happened?"
14332with a sudden change from seriousness to gaiety,"if I am to be led into sermonizing, might I not know what it is all about?
14332wo n''t your missis be proud when you take her to see that bloomin''film?"
14332you never let him get away, did you?
