58670 | Is she worth that kind of pain?" |
58670 | Is this a dream?" |
58670 | It never happened?" |
58670 | My finger-- it was moving-- bending-- or was it? |
58670 | So I had to steal a couple of heat- blasters, from the Museum....""You what?" |
58670 | Some mental pressure had blacked him out, he thought, and then what? |
58670 | What is it?" |
58670 | Which way? |
59602 | Faith? |
59602 | How could the Children have gotten through our post defenses? |

59602 | What about the survival of the species? |
59602 | What are you going to do? 59602 You want to help me try?" |
59602 | After a while, Sal said softly,"Well, what could we try to do, Doc?" |
59602 | And if we ca n''t help the Children, what''s the good of it?" |
59602 | And what''s underneath hatred?" |
59602 | Is that you, Granpa?" |
59602 | So we live another month, maybe six months, or a year longer? |
59602 | Stay here? |
59602 | That''s right is n''t it, Doc?" |
59602 | The girl reached out and asked in a sobbing breath,"Granpa? |
59602 | What do we want to get away and live a little longer for? |
59602 | What for?" |
59602 | You want to stay for that kind of treatment?" |
63631 | It is finished? |
63631 | Oh, this? |
63631 | Well, where to now? |
63631 | Well? |
63631 | What''s that you have there? |
63631 | Why did it have to happen like this? |
63631 | Why, it was just yesterday( or was it the day before?) 63631 Why?" |
63631 | ( Was that a point of light in Brazil? |
63631 | ***** Why? |
63631 | Christ? |
63631 | Could that be it? |
63631 | Could the most normal be the most perfect? |
63631 | Had he led the best of all possible lives? |
63631 | How was yours?" |
63631 | Man began to think, to differentiate himself from the other animals, when he first asked the question:"Why?" |
63631 | Saint? |
63631 | The Second Coming? |
63631 | There are n''t any more people, are there?" |
63631 | Under the circumstances, she would have given herself to any man--"Why did it have to be her-- or me? |
63631 | Was that it? |
63631 | What about--? |
63631 | What did one say on these situations? |
63631 | Where were you?" |
63631 | Why me? |
59514 | But you''re a husband, Alan...."How is it fired? |
59514 | But, Sally, what else could I do? 59514 Do with them? |
59514 | Here we are are n''t we? 59514 How do you know, sweetie?" |
59514 | I suppose,Sally said,"that you''re coming to a point, dear?" |
59514 | Mate with sterilies? |
59514 | Share you with these... these desert rats who just raided us, who killed eight of our clan? |
59514 | What about? |
59514 | What-- what does the Turtle clan think of this plan of yours? |
59514 | And besides, what difference does it make if we''ve got forty of them? |
59514 | As it is, how much true companionship do you secure from me-- any of you? |
59514 | But just what did you mean?" |
59514 | Confound it, ca n''t you warriors realize what I''m saying? |
59514 | Could this be a daughter of his? |
59514 | Deer from the south, Coyote or Horse from the east? |
59514 | Do you realize that in the fifteen years I have been the husband of this clan, we have not had even one fertile man child born? |
59514 | Do you realize that in the past twenty years there has been born not one fertile man child in the Turtle clan? |
59514 | Have you ever heard of any such phenomenon before? |
59514 | How is the Bren gun fired?" |
59514 | Make it yourself?" |
59514 | Nobody thought we''d waste bullets on them did they?" |
59514 | Only one in the Burro clan?" |
59514 | Sally said impatiently,"What has this got to do with the prisoners, Alan dear?" |
59514 | Sally said,"And we''d have to share you with all these, and with our prisoners as well?" |
59514 | Sally said,"How... how do you mean, dear?" |
59514 | She said,"And if we share you with another forty or fifty women, to what extent will the rest of us have any husband at all?" |
59514 | Vivian said impatiently,"What''s this got to do with the prisoners? |
59514 | Vivian said,"Well, what''re you worrying about, Jean? |
59514 | What do you say?" |
59514 | Who could it be this time? |
59514 | Who ever heard of such a thing?" |
59514 | Why do n''t you tell us something about... well, about hunting, or true fighting?" |
59514 | You did n''t... the prisoners?" |
50844 | Are you sure now that I''m real? |
50844 | How can I be absolutely sure you''re real? |
50844 | I thought I''d leave a sort of monument--"Who''s going to read it? |
50844 | It is, is n''t it? |
50844 | Let me use that comb-- and would you please make me a dress? 50844 Start over? |
50844 | That again? 50844 What''s that?" |
50844 | Who cares? 50844 Will it be here after I die?" |
50844 | Would you like to find a new planet, untouched by war? 50844 Would you like to go away?" |
50844 | And what made him think_ they_ would discover the cave anyway? |
50844 | Anybody else alive?" |
50844 | But what kind of symbols? |
50844 | Do you remember creating me, Master?" |
50844 | Hidden in a cave? |
50844 | How come you did n''t see me?" |
50844 | How did you get here?" |
50844 | How would they decipher it? |
50844 | Mathematics? |
50844 | Mirrors?" |
50844 | Of course, but what would that tell them about Man? |
50844 | On a mountain top? |
50844 | Remember?" |
50844 | This trick of yours really solves the Christmas present problem, does n''t it?" |
50844 | What more can you ask?" |
50844 | What''s your last name?" |
50844 | What-- what is your name?" |
50844 | Why did n''t I see you, then?" |
50844 | Why do n''t you accept the fact that I''m alive?" |
50844 | Why should n''t my subconscious mind have as much power as my conscious mind? |
50844 | Would you like to start over?" |
50844 | You could probably do the same for us, so where''s the problem?" |
50844 | You want proof? |
50844 | _ You''re a traitor-- but who cares?_ He had been a captain in the Western Hemisphere Defense. |
59415 | And what if he dies up there? |
59415 | Business? |
59415 | But if you do n''t re- educate his brain, what can you re- educate? 59415 But what has all this to do with re- education?" |
59415 | But,Mudgett said,"suppose he was right? |
59415 | Eh? 59415 He knows it''s impossible, does n''t he?" |
59415 | It takes a long time? |
59415 | Name? |
59415 | Now, answer me this question: why is it that, despite all these protections,_ every single person_ in an opened city dies? |
59415 | Platelets Rh VI? |
59415 | Shall I bring him in? |
59415 | Shock? |
59415 | Stopped? |
59415 | That enormous object can process only one man at a time? |
59415 | We lose three- fifths of every topside party as it is-- and Hamelin''s an inexperienced--"Might be the best thing, might n''t it? |
59415 | Well? |
59415 | What kind of changes? |
59415 | What then? |
59415 | When? |
59415 | When? |
59415 | Who''ll know? 59415 You mean electroshock? |
59415 | You would like to undergo the process yourself? |
59415 | And what can we do about the unrecognized, sub- clinical cases, which probably total twice as many? |
59415 | Are you still with me?" |
59415 | At last Carson said mildly:"Why are n''t_ we_ immune to everything by now?" |
59415 | But where does that leave us? |
59415 | Could n''t the damned thing be trained to knock? |
59415 | Do you know the counter- slogan that''s circulating among the people?" |
59415 | Does that seem inconsistent? |
59415 | Every one of those four million persons is a major hazard to his neighbors and to his job, but how can we do without them? |
59415 | He said:"This process-- it''s painful?" |
59415 | His reflexes, perhaps?" |
59415 | How could it? |
59415 | How long can we continue operating without a collapse under such conditions?" |
59415 | I should know, should I not, what it is that I''m advocating for my following? |
59415 | Know it intimately, from personal experience, not just theory? |
59415 | Mudgett looked up from his desk and said at once:"What now?" |
59415 | Shall I tell you how Louisville fell?" |
59415 | That platelet type does n''t exist at all in our population now, does it? |
59415 | What about all that talk of his about mass insanity?" |
59415 | Why? |
51241 | But where the heck is the rusty old thing? |
51241 | How did you get in? |
51241 | How did you know I was a man when I came back? |
51241 | How in the world can we cross it? |
51241 | How would I know? |
51241 | How would_ I_ know how many girls there are? |
51241 | Looking for a good time? |
51241 | Maybe it''s just what we need, but to eat baby food with a man wearing a diaper.... Tell me, Roddie, how did you happen to know where to find it? |
51241 | So few young men are left, so many casualties....But why do you-- we-- keep up the fight?" |
51241 | What are you trying to do? |
51241 | What''ll we do when it''s light? |
51241 | Who do you think you are? |
51241 | Who do you think_ you_ are? |
51241 | Why are_ you_ here? 51241 Why did the soldier let us go?" |
51241 | Why should you cry? |
51241 | Wuzzums hungry? |
51241 | Boat? |
51241 | But who was his enemy? |
51241 | But, say, how are we going to get away from here?" |
51241 | Did n''t they ever tell you that the city is our home, even if the stupid androids do keep us out? |
51241 | Do n''t you know how dependent we are on these raids for all our tools and things?" |
51241 | Do n''t you realize we''re the same sort of being, we two? |
51241 | Do n''t you see? |
51241 | Do you think I was being silly?" |
51241 | Don''t-- don''t you remember how we''ve been with each other all day?" |
51241 | Emotion is for creating, and it''s so much more logical to destroy, is n''t it?" |
51241 | I mean, sure, the others are after tools and things, but what''s_ your_ purpose?" |
51241 | Just how many girls_ are_ there in this raiding party?" |
51241 | Loyalty to your own sort, kindness, affection-- all emotional, are n''t they? |
51241 | Now?" |
51241 | Roddie.... Whose boat did you come in, Roddie?" |
51241 | Tough, was n''t it, getting separated in the fog and tide like that? |
51241 | What could have entered through the iron cover? |
51241 | What was a boat? |
51241 | What''s rational about murdering a defenseless girl in cold blood? |
51241 | Where were you?" |
51241 | Why wo n''t you let me go and fight?" |
51241 | Will you go with me? |
29662 | And all the beautiful things you told me? |
29662 | And do you suppose I''m not? |
29662 | Are you afraid, too? |
29662 | But it is true? |
29662 | Can I count? 29662 Can you count?" |
29662 | Count myself, should I? |
29662 | Do n''t you suppose I want to get outside, too, and be carefree and have a good time? 29662 Even the garden?" |
29662 | Have we listened to this racket long enough? |
29662 | Have you food? 29662 Is it tears I get for a welcome?" |
29662 | Is this a kindergarten? 29662 Or are those only to greet God''s own breath, the air?" |
29662 | Or is it that this is a free- love town or a harem spot, or just a military post? |
29662 | Really? |
29662 | So you do n''t care enough about your old husband''s success to make one supreme effort in spite of feeling bad? |
29662 | Sorry? 29662 Then why are n''t you careful? |
29662 | What do you mean? |
29662 | What''s it like up there? |
29662 | What''s your name? |
29662 | Yes? |
29662 | You do n''t suppose I''m a bloody saint, do you? |
29662 | You have n''t forgotten, have you, Effie, that until last month the Committee was so concerned about your sterility? 29662 You see, Hank? |
29662 | You''re not making it up? |
29662 | And yet, was this so much better? |
29662 | Centuries? |
29662 | Do n''t you see that that''s the all- important thing and that we have to behave like mature adults and make sacrifices for it?" |
29662 | Do you know, Effie, that when I first came in, I had some very good news for you? |
29662 | Do you take me for a complete simpleton, man? |
29662 | He broke off suddenly and asked,"Do any of you ever venture outside?" |
29662 | He said quietly,"I do suppose you still realize the sort of world you''re living in?" |
29662 | How could he be this way, if the dust hurt the brave? |
29662 | Oh, and then the new children--""You''re telling the truth?" |
29662 | That they were about to enter my name on the list of those waiting to be allotted a free woman? |
29662 | That''s true, is n''t it?" |
29662 | What drives you to it?" |
29662 | What the devil are you up to?" |
29662 | What''s the good of being sorry? |
29662 | Why the devil do you do such things, Effie? |
29662 | Years ago? |
29662 | You want to go back to the basement tenements?" |
51115 | Any luck with your... what was it...? 51115 Are n''t they still good years?" |
51115 | But why bother? |
51115 | Do n''t we? |
51115 | Does that make sense? |
51115 | Ever try writing? |
51115 | I suppose this is the time you twirl your black mustache and tell me you have a wife and family elsewhere? |
51115 | I was almost sure.... Can you really remember them all? 51115 If you loved me....""Have I ever said I did?" |
51115 | Is n''t it rather unusual? 51115 Is something going to happen to you? |
51115 | No, it was n''t very funny, was it? |
51115 | Now was that a gag or not? 51115 Now what were you trying to tell me?" |
51115 | That the editor was also surprising? 51115 Then if the agnoton,"he ventured,"is something that they imported, is it possible that their supply might run short?" |
51115 | Undignified, is n''t it? |
51115 | Vyrko dear.... What you said when you were listening to that funny music.... Do n''t you love me? |
51115 | Well.... Are n''t you...? |
51115 | What''s so fascinating? |
51115 | Who? |
51115 | You do n''t love me? 51115 ***** The next morning Raquel greeted her with,Manningcita, who''s Norbert Holt?" |
51115 | ..._ unsuccessful_.... Now why in Heaven''s name, mused Manning Stern, should I be thinking of martinis at breakfast time? |
51115 | A girl might as well be in a... a....""_ Convent?_"Vyrko suggested. |
51115 | And Lavra had poked the green button because Norbert Holt had said she had poked( would poke?) |
51115 | But at that, what do I live on until I get started?" |
51115 | Care to continue this slugfest over a martini or five? |
51115 | Do n''t know if you can take shorthand, for instance? |
51115 | Holt?" |
51115 | Is he perhaps one of your writers?" |
51115 | Maybe if I toss it out to the literary lions....""Story problem?" |
51115 | Not after...?" |
51115 | Or do you...? |
51115 | Or does he? |
51115 | Or play the bull fiddle?" |
51115 | The kiss was a short one; Lavra had to say,"And what next?" |
51115 | We came in here editor and author-- remember back when? |
51115 | We do n''t go in much for being serious, do we? |
51115 | We had( will have?) |
51115 | What happens next?" |
51115 | You come home and meet her and have potluck, huh?" |
51115 | Your father''s? |
51379 | A thousand years? 51379 And that-- that was all they taught you of Abraham Brown?" |
51379 | Before? 51379 But even if I could play them,"he muttered, now tolerantly amused,"I could n''t do it in unison, could I? |
51379 | Did they teach you reading and writing? |
51379 | Do you know how old you are? |
51379 | Eh? |
51379 | Millstone? 51379 Millstone?" |
51379 | They who told you to call them Jonas and Abigail, they were the only old ones who lived with you? |
51379 | Was there? 51379 Where do you come from?" |
51379 | ***** Why assume that the maker of the bonfire was necessarily hostile? |
51379 | Abraham_ Brown_? |
51379 | Astonished, the boy asked:"Is it not enough?" |
51379 | Brian spoke vaguely, almost deaf to his own words until they were past recovering:"That? |
51379 | But damn it, Brian thought, my world has some rights, has n''t it? |
51379 | Denver? |
51379 | Did he-- he who told you to call him Jonas, did he teach you anything about the world as it was in the old days, before you were born?" |
51379 | Do you know what a musician is?" |
51379 | Even if he had the strength and courage to go back north-- no, at seventy- six( eighty- six? |
51379 | For example, what about the third movement, that mad Scherzo, and the five tiny interludes of sweet quiet scattered through its plunging fury? |
51379 | Had n''t there once been a Millstone River in or near Princeton? |
51379 | He asked carefully:"He who told you to call him Jonas, he taught you all the things you know?" |
51379 | He chided himself instead for the foolish neuroses of aloneness-- what could it matter? |
51379 | He had n''t given himself a real bath in-- weeks? |
51379 | How could fire start, over there where no one ever came? |
51379 | How many others are living at Millstone?" |
51379 | I was a young man once, do you understand? |
51379 | London? |
51379 | Millstone? |
51379 | Most of them had the gaping wounds of primitive warfare, but some were oddly discolored-- a new pestilence? |
51379 | Nuber? |
51379 | Only twenty- five? |
51379 | The Old Man is angry?" |
51379 | The boy asked:"What is that?" |
51379 | The wheel at Nuber? |
51379 | The wheel?_"And when did he die, boy?" |
51379 | The wheel?_"And when did he die, boy?" |
51379 | The_ wheel_? |
51379 | Three o''clock? |
51379 | What do you know about the world I lived in?" |
51379 | What do you know of the old days? |
51379 | What more fitting place for the last man on Earth to live in than a museum? |
51379 | Where is Millstone?" |
51379 | Would it be two o''clock? |
51379 | _ There is always The Project._"Come with you?" |
51662 | Am I going to jail? |
51662 | And Frances? |
51662 | Anything good on this week, Harry? |
51662 | Break travel regulations? 51662 But why, Harry, why?" |
51662 | I remember people, and things, and where are they now? 51662 Like hotcakes for breakfast?" |
51662 | Me? |
51662 | Now do you understand? 51662 She''s five already?" |
51662 | What happened to Davie? |
51662 | What happened to my son Davie? |
51662 | What? |
51662 | Where then? |
51662 | Where''s Petey? |
51662 | You remember how much we got for our livestock, Edna? |
51662 | Your oldest? 51662 A rough winter? 51662 Air was different, was n''t it? 51662 And was n''t the fence gradually curving inward? 51662 And when had he sold his other livestock? 51662 Besides, he''d sold the car, had n''t he? 51662 Could a man get so confused as to forget things he''d known all his life? 51662 Could he have forgotten where town was? 51662 Could it be north of his home, not south? 51662 Davie? 51662 Dead? 51662 Disease? 51662 Engines? 51662 Everyone seemed to know about it-- or was everyone only Edna and the Shanks? 51662 HOW ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THEM DOWN ON THE FARM-- AFTER THEY''VE SEEN THE TRUTH? 51662 Had he bought out Lon Besser? 51662 He went quickly across the yard, past the pig- pen-- he''d had twelve pigs, had n''t he? 51662 I built it as best I could, but how large could I make it? 51662 I feel better already, and after only one.... What do you call these treatments? |
51662 | It''ll settle your nerves and make everything....""What happened to Davie?" |
51662 | Or had he? |
51662 | Or had he? |
51662 | Or had they died somehow? |
51662 | Or was sharp the word? |
51662 | Pick up rest?" |
51662 | She cleared her throat, mumbled,"Huh? |
51662 | Then Harry said,"How''s Penny?" |
51662 | Think we''ll ever see the end of travel regulations and rationing and all the rest of the emergency?" |
51662 | Was he forgetting again? |
51662 | Was this how a man''s mind went? |
51662 | What happened to who?" |
51662 | What in the world had Sam Pangborn been thinking of to put up a monster like this? |
51662 | When had he sold the rest? |
51662 | Who was this Phineas Grotton? |
51662 | Why had n''t he seen the Pangborns and Elvertons lately-- a long time lately? |
51662 | Why should a man his age, hardly sick at all since he was a kid, suddenly start losing hold this way? |
51662 | _ The car._ He had n''t seen the old Chevvy in... how long? |
51687 | A-- a what? |
51687 | All right, if that''s what_ your_ spies are doing, and if_ I''m_ a spy, then it follows that I''m doing the same thing, right? |
51687 | And do they find any indications, ever? |
51687 | And what are_ they_ supposed to spy on? |
51687 | But do n''t you ever check them before de- radiating them? |
51687 | Disconnected? 51687 Do n''t you ever wish to get Outside?" |
51687 | Do you realize what you''ve_ done_, disconnecting the elevator? 51687 Do you see it?" |
51687 | Do you see? |
51687 | For what? 51687 He_ aims_ the elevator?" |
51687 | How do I know that? |
51687 | How do I know what they''re thinking? |
51687 | How much radiation do they pick up? 51687 Is this the_ natural_ life of man? |
51687 | Like you? 51687 Military equipment? |
51687 | Outside? 51687 Ruined your life?" |
51687 | So what happened? |
51687 | They''re human beings, are n''t they? |
51687 | Transparent? 51687 Well-- but why should there be any problem about getting him out?" |
51687 | What about radiation level on the ore- sleds? |
51687 | Why''ve you got that drape up there? |
51687 | You got any chico coffee? |
51687 | Your people send out spies, too, do n''t they? |
51687 | A spy?" |
51687 | And then I asked, as rationally as you could please,"Would you mind terribly telling me_ why_ the elevator is disconnected?" |
51687 | And what other defenses are there? |
51687 | Could I descend two hundred and eight steps for my true love? |
51687 | Do n''t you people ever test them?" |
51687 | Do you know what that means? |
51687 | Do you realize how long it took man to get out of the caves? |
51687 | Do you see it? |
51687 | Do you see the green? |
51687 | Do you understand me?" |
51687 | He said,"Where do you live?" |
51687 | He studied me narrowly, and suddenly said,"What did they tell you I was? |
51687 | I understand your--""You_ understand_?" |
51687 | Is this even a_ desirable_ life for man? |
51687 | Like all the other people in this mausoleum?" |
51687 | Like me? |
51687 | My name first, and then,"What do you do for a living?" |
51687 | Or hurry back to the apartment and call Linda, to give her advance warning that I would be late? |
51687 | So what did Man do? |
51687 | So what was the use of stairs? |
51687 | Stay, hoping the elevator would come after all? |
51687 | The long slow painful creep of progress, for millennia, before he ever made that first step from the cave?" |
51687 | Then he motioned with his free hand at the descending stairs and whispered,"Where do they go?" |
51687 | We had elevators, did n''t we? |
51687 | What do you mean disconnected? |
51687 | What do you suppose I''m going to spy on?" |
51687 | What if I were to tell you that I_ had_ found indications that you people were planning to attack my Project?" |
51687 | What in the world was the matter with the Army? |
51687 | What would we want to attack anybody for?" |
51687 | Who cares about that?" |
51687 | Who knew how many more spies there were in the Project, still unsuspected? |
51687 | Who knew how many years it had been since last this door had been opened? |
51687 | Why should we?" |
51687 | Will you be provisionally mine?" |
51687 | You got that?" |
51687 | _ What_ military equipment? |
13944 | Are you his retainer? |
13944 | But how am I to get into the place then? |
13944 | Ca n''t I speak? |
13944 | Do you suppose he was going to put a penny in my way when he could not get it himself? |
13944 | Go on,said the king sarcastically;"why am I incapable?" |
13944 | How are the stones to be thrown? |
13944 | How ever can I get into the city? |
13944 | How far is it to Iwis? |
13944 | How is he to know? |
13944 | How now,said the king, turning to Felix;"what do you say?" |
13944 | If you want to go a voyage( where to, I ca n''t imagine), why not take a passage on board a ship? |
13944 | Ingulph, have you ever heard of such a machine? |
13944 | Is it nearly finished, then? |
13944 | Is it really? 13944 Shall I?" |
13944 | Studying last night, I suppose? |
13944 | Surely the king would not allow it? |
13944 | Thank you, very much,said Felix, as he wished her good day;"but why did not the man at the other ferry tell me I could cross here?" |
13944 | The water must have been cold this morning? |
13944 | Then, where_ are_ you going? |
13944 | What are you going to do to- day? |
13944 | What is it? |
13944 | What is this? |
13944 | What was it you did say? |
13944 | What''s the news to me? |
13944 | Where is the king? |
13944 | Who''s he? |
13944 | Why did n''t you have a hide boat made, with a willow framework and leather cover? 13944 Why did n''t you ride into town with me?" |
13944 | Why did you make it so big? 13944 Why did you not come to us before, fellow?" |
13944 | Why do n''t you go and live in the woods all by yourself? |
13944 | Why not? |
13944 | You have been to- to plough, eh? |
13944 | After a pause, in a lower voice,"Have you any money?" |
13944 | After a while he arose, again asking himself how should he become a leader, who had not the perseverance to enter a city in peaceful guise? |
13944 | And how, without offending his friends? |
13944 | And if he did permit it, why did he not, when he saw they were overthrown, send a squadron to cover their retreat? |
13944 | And where were the iron mines, from which the ancients drew their stores of metal? |
13944 | Are there, then, no beggars? |
13944 | But if so, also, was life worth living, and might he not as well go and seek destruction? |
13944 | But none do attempt; of what avail would it be to them? |
13944 | But what on earth, or rather, on water, are you driving at? |
13944 | But where are you going to launch it?" |
13944 | But why did you not have a hide boat?" |
13944 | But you might have saved much trouble and time if----""If what?" |
13944 | Did they expect it to veer like a cyclone and presently blow east with the same vigour as it then blew west? |
13944 | Did they, then, foresee that it would change? |
13944 | Do you think I believe that?" |
13944 | Have you got any hooks?" |
13944 | He could not surely have sailed into the ocean without knowing it? |
13944 | He spoke of the value and importance of this spot; could not the Baron send forth his retainers and enclose a new estate there? |
13944 | He will be sent for again this morning; can not you see why?" |
13944 | How, then, does any man remain free? |
13944 | If so, was it worth while to go upon so strange an enterprise for her sake? |
13944 | It is nearly noon; are you coming home to dinner?" |
13944 | Might not a house or castle built there become the beginning of a city? |
13944 | Might she not easily have given him an opportunity? |
13944 | Might she not, had she chosen, have arranged a moment''s interview? |
13944 | Oh, what shall I do? |
13944 | Oliver began to jest at him; had he abandoned the expedition? |
13944 | Or should he remain in the woods till he had observed more of their ways and manners? |
13944 | Should he, indeed, venture among them at all? |
13944 | The Blue Chamber will say,''Where can we get it? |
13944 | The groom said that this was the king''s levy where they were; but under whose command was he? |
13944 | The land requires some rain, does it not? |
13944 | There was but the forest route left, and that he resolved to attempt; but when? |
13944 | There would not be any trial; who would waste time in trying so insignificant a wretch? |
13944 | They have some wonderful diamonds, have they not--_Countess?_""Felix!" |
13944 | To what"war"did Felix belong? |
13944 | To whose"war"did he belong? |
13944 | Was it not clear that she was ashamed of her girlish fancy for a portionless and despised youth? |
13944 | Were the stories of the gold and silver mines of Devon and Cornwall true? |
13944 | What crime can be greater than the admission of such foreigners as the guards of our cities? |
13944 | What was there behind the immense and untraversed belt of forest which extended to the south, to the east, and west? |
13944 | What''s the canoe for?" |
13944 | What''s your object? |
13944 | When was the Peninsula at peace? |
13944 | When was there not a danger from the northern mainland? |
13944 | Where are the wonderful structures with which the men of those days were lifted to the skies, rising above the clouds? |
13944 | Where are you going? |
13944 | Where did the great Lake end? |
13944 | Who could attack us? |
13944 | Who''s weakest?'' |
13944 | Why do n''t you get up and come? |
13944 | Why make further efforts when they already had what they desired? |
13944 | Why, what has come to you? |
13944 | Without money, without a retinue, how could he expect to be received or listened to? |
13944 | and when was there not some mischief and change brewing in the republics? |
13944 | who?" |
13944 | why did n''t you tell me before?" |
53611 | ''Ard work for you to get a livin'', I suppose? |
53611 | ''Aven''t you got any candles? |
53611 | ''Oo risked his life to lay in provisions, I should like to know? 53611 ''Oo stole the tea?" |
53611 | ''Oo''d''ave thought it''d''a been that tame? |
53611 | ''Oo''s livin''with you? |
53611 | ''S that all? |
53611 | After all, what evidence have you, beyond the Chinese reports? |
53611 | And how do you know I might n''t be the one? |
53611 | And is there no hope for us, here in England, in Marlow? 53611 And this other woman?" |
53611 | And what about us? |
53611 | And where''d you be, and all the rest of the women, if you''adn''t got no men to look after you? |
53611 | And why not? 53611 And why not?" |
53611 | And your mother? |
53611 | Any news? |
53611 | Anyone we know? |
53611 | Anything gorne wrong? |
53611 | Are n''t there any other men, there? |
53611 | Are n''t you going to tell us? |
53611 | Are we all cravens,he concluded,"scurrying like rabbits to our burrows at the first hint of alarm?" |
53611 | Are you angry? |
53611 | Are you going on? |
53611 | Are you going to fetch me that terbaccer or are you not? |
53611 | Are you quite sure there was no shops open? 53611 Are you religious?" |
53611 | Are you sick of your work here? |
53611 | Are you sure this is right, Blanche? |
53611 | At what? |
53611 | Aw, why not take the train? |
53611 | But d''yer mean to tell me,expostulated Flack,"as all this is on account of this plague? |
53611 | But d''yer mean to tell me,he persisted,"that Mr Barker thinks as it''ll come to England?" |
53611 | But do you think,asked Blanche, drawing her eyebrows together,"that this sort of thing is going on always?" |
53611 | But how can you alter it? |
53611 | But how did you get here? |
53611 | But now, just supposin''as this''ere plague did spread to London, and''alf the men could n''t go to work; where d''you fancy you''d be? |
53611 | But the point is that if it once gets to Europe, who knows where it''ll stop? |
53611 | But what, in Heaven''s name, is the weed? |
53611 | But, I say,said Mr Prince, who had the greatest confidence in his partner''s insight,"I say, Barker, d''you think this plague''s serious?" |
53611 | But, look here, old chap, why the devil ca n''t you stay here? |
53611 | By the way,he said,"I wanted to ask you what you meant when you said you had seen a god in old Gosling?" |
53611 | Can they ever grow up? 53611 Cell- specialization?" |
53611 | Charity''s sake? |
53611 | Clara Jenkyn, what are you doing? |
53611 | Constantine Bay? |
53611 | D''you mean it''s possible the train wo n''t come in at all? |
53611 | D''you mean to say you did n''t see no one at all? |
53611 | Did you go in to the''ouses? |
53611 | Did you hear firing? |
53611 | Do n''t you see that we ca n''t even explain? |
53611 | Do you feel bad, mother? |
53611 | Do you mean to say that the train has n''t got to Plymouth yet? |
53611 | Do you mean to tell me there''s nowhere we can go to? |
53611 | Do you realize that I''ve had to defend this place like a fort against thousands of your sort? 53611 Do you really believe, dear,"she said, when she had considered Jasper''s suggestion,"do you really believe that this is the end of humanity?" |
53611 | Do you really think it''s so serious, Thrale? |
53611 | Do you see what has happened? |
53611 | Do you see who it is? |
53611 | Do you smoke? |
53611 | Do you think anyone can look even a year ahead? |
53611 | Do you think she understands where we are or what we''re doing? |
53611 | Do you think she''s going to be ill? |
53611 | Do you understand? |
53611 | Do? |
53611 | Does it matter? |
53611 | Does she understand agricultural machinery? |
53611 | Drive over to Pard- stow at this time o''night? |
53611 | Ever done any farm work? |
53611 | Going to stampede with the rest of''em? |
53611 | Good heavens, Mill, what''s up? |
53611 | Has it been hot? |
53611 | Have you forgotten anything? |
53611 | Have you got a box of matches you''ll exchange for it? |
53611 | Have you had bad news from Germany? |
53611 | Have you? |
53611 | He iss a friend? 53611 How could we get in?" |
53611 | How is it that you''re all alive? |
53611 | How much? |
53611 | I am putting money on it, ai n''t I? |
53611 | I say, Mill, do n''t you feel adventurous? |
53611 | I say, do you think he''s ill? |
53611 | I say, surely you do n''t come from this part of the world? |
53611 | I say, what''s up? |
53611 | I say, what''s up? |
53611 | I suppose they''ll let us stop here to- night, B.? |
53611 | I suppose you haf not heard any other reports, eh? |
53611 | I suppose you''aven''t any milk or butter or eggs to sell? |
53611 | I want to know if you have ever been frightened of yourself-- or of me? |
53611 | I''ll have another look, anyway,she said; and then:"Who''d have thought he was such a brute?" |
53611 | In Russia? 53611 Indeed?" |
53611 | Is Miss Grant the awful woman with the broomstick? |
53611 | Is it another shower? |
53611 | Is it possible that this can be the means of the''higher forces''I spoke of, the means to segregate the nations once more? |
53611 | Is it possible, is it anyway possible that America has survived? 53611 Is it serious?" |
53611 | Is its name Alice? |
53611 | Is n''t it awful, B.? |
53611 | Is n''t it clean? |
53611 | Is n''t it, Millie? |
53611 | Is n''t there? |
53611 | Is that how your community feel about it? |
53611 | Is-- is every one dead? |
53611 | It gets clogged, do you see? |
53611 | It''s something over two hours behind now, is n''t it? |
53611 | It''s that great brute by the gate, my dear,said Mrs Gosling,"and we''ve just----""You do n''t mean Alice?" |
53611 | Like the glimmer of St Agnes''light, after you''d been eight weeks out of sight of land? |
53611 | Look here,she went on,"are you all right? |
53611 | Lord''s sakes, man, what''s the matter? |
53611 | Lord''s sakes, you do n''t tell me so? |
53611 | Marlow? |
53611 | Might''a been''eart- disease, d''you think? |
53611 | Millie? |
53611 | Mother''s odd, is n''t she? |
53611 | Must be doin''somethin'', I suppose? |
53611 | My dear girl,she went on,"what do you suppose is the good of money in this world? |
53611 | No? |
53611 | Not by a very long chalk''e ai n''t,was his firm pronouncement...."Well, girls, what about bed?" |
53611 | Now, look here,he continued,"do you see this hopper in here?" |
53611 | Now, then, what are we going to do? |
53611 | Now, where''ve I seen you before? |
53611 | Now, you funny people, what do you want? |
53611 | Of course you wo n''t have him as a paying guest now? |
53611 | Oh, Jasper, what can it be? |
53611 | Oh, ai n''t there? |
53611 | Oh, look here,said Eileen,"you might let me come, or are you-- are you afraid of-- of what the women will say?" |
53611 | Oh, was that it? |
53611 | Only where? |
53611 | Only,she added"we''ll''ave to go on breeding calves or we wo n''t get no milk, an''what are we goin''to do with the bullocks?" |
53611 | Point is, what''s the good of getting yourself in a funk about it? 53611 Pretty awful, is n''t it?" |
53611 | Rum go, ai n''t it? |
53611 | Sell? |
53611 | Shall I cast off? |
53611 | Shall you be''ere to- morrow? |
53611 | She''s a bit touched, is n''t she? |
53611 | Some of us''ll have to start a hareem, soon; who knows? |
53611 | Sorry to trouble you,he said,"but do you think this train''s been taken off, for any reason?" |
53611 | Talking about us, father? |
53611 | Tell me what you mean by''all right''? |
53611 | The sex instinct, fundamentally, is n''t it? |
53611 | This is a jolly old boat, is n''t it? |
53611 | Tongue, eh? |
53611 | Was''e a married man? |
53611 | We- el,remarked Flack,"I never''eard as''is''eart was affected, did you?" |
53611 | Well, I ca n''t''elp it, can I? |
53611 | Well, ai n''t you going to open it, father? |
53611 | Well, ai n''t you? |
53611 | Well, but''ow d''you know? |
53611 | Well, how can you expect us to get married when we have n''t got a decent thing to put on? |
53611 | Well, to be sure,she said,"I wonder if they''d let me sit down and rest for a few minutes? |
53611 | Well, we only brought four bottles of water with us,she said,"where are we going to get any more in Kilburn?" |
53611 | Well, well,he said,"will you come and have tea with me at the club?" |
53611 | Well? |
53611 | Well? |
53611 | Whacher got? |
53611 | Whacher want with cigars? |
53611 | What are you going to do with her? |
53611 | What are you putting your hat straight for? |
53611 | What are you talking about? |
53611 | What can one do? |
53611 | What did Mr Barker say to that? |
53611 | What do they say? |
53611 | What do you want? |
53611 | What good is it all, if there is no future? |
53611 | What have you got hold of now? |
53611 | What in''eaven''s name''s wrong, gel? |
53611 | What is it, Jasper? |
53611 | What is it, Mill? |
53611 | What is it? |
53611 | What is the good of going on? |
53611 | What is the matter? |
53611 | What of? |
53611 | What then? |
53611 | What were they afraid of? |
53611 | What yer think of this''closed door''business? |
53611 | What''ave you got to give us as is worth food? |
53611 | What''s he say? |
53611 | What''s the good of money when there''s nothing to buy with it? 53611 What''s the good of''em?" |
53611 | What''s the news? |
53611 | What''s the time? |
53611 | What''s up now? |
53611 | What''s up? |
53611 | What''s your remedy, then? |
53611 | What? 53611 What?" |
53611 | What? |
53611 | What? |
53611 | When did you leave there? |
53611 | Where are you going? |
53611 | Where can we go? |
53611 | Where from did you get tongue, my gal? |
53611 | Where have you come from? |
53611 | Where to? |
53611 | Where to? |
53611 | Where''s this shop of yours? |
53611 | Where? |
53611 | Which of you three is in command? |
53611 | Who are you? |
53611 | Who would n''t be? |
53611 | Who''d buy your''fal- lals''for you, I should like to know? |
53611 | Who''s it for, Mill? |
53611 | Who''s it for? |
53611 | Who''s to be any the wiser? |
53611 | Why ca n''t you leave me alone? |
53611 | Why do n''t you bring the letters in? |
53611 | Why does n''t he go himself? |
53611 | Why me? |
53611 | Why should Pan die and Dionysus live? |
53611 | Why? |
53611 | Will you change two pints of milk for a small tin of tongue? |
53611 | Work? 53611 Wot the''ell are yer starin''at?" |
53611 | Yes, yes-- what? |
53611 | Yes? |
53611 | Yes? |
53611 | Yet? |
53611 | You ca n''t drive me then? |
53611 | You ca n''t mean as you wo n''t sell us a glass of milk? |
53611 | You ca n''t steal from dead people,explained Blanche;"besides, who''ll have the things if we do n''t?" |
53611 | You can call me''engineer,''I suppose? |
53611 | You wait till Mr Right comes along,put in Mrs Gosling, and then turned the conversation by saying:"Well, father, what''s the news this evening?" |
53611 | You''re Mrs Isaacson, are you? 53611 You''re not going alone?" |
53611 | You''re not tired? 53611 You''ungry?" |
53611 | You''ve had no advice yet from Plymouth? |
53611 | You? |
53611 | ''Oose paid for everything you''ve eat or drunk or wore ever since you was born? |
53611 | 2"Have you heard?" |
53611 | After all why not? |
53611 | Ai n''t I to be allowed to judge of the nature of the investment I''m goin''in for? |
53611 | And how are we going to get back?" |
53611 | And what are you proposing to do?" |
53611 | And what in God''s name is the sense or reason of it? |
53611 | And what''s it all for, I ask you?" |
53611 | And, I say, do you think we''ll be able to raid some soap from somewhere? |
53611 | And, my dear, what difference can it make? |
53611 | Are you on, Mill?" |
53611 | Are you on?" |
53611 | Are you ready? |
53611 | Are you sure we''re goin''right, Blanche?" |
53611 | But iss it not better that we who are not peasants should go together?" |
53611 | But meanwhile what of mankind? |
53611 | But where we go? |
53611 | But, then, who could have helped themselves? |
53611 | Ca n''t you see that everything''s different? |
53611 | Ca n''t you see that money''s no good, that you ca n''t eat it, or wear it, or light a fire with it, like that other woman said? |
53611 | Ca n''t you understand, or wo n''t you?" |
53611 | Could it be that everybody was more natural, that there was less restraint? |
53611 | Did she tell you that, by the way?" |
53611 | Did you want to see me about anything particular?" |
53611 | Do n''t they bitterly resent the fact that their own men- folk are resistlessly drawn to stare at, and inwardly desire, such a woman? |
53611 | Do n''t they know perfectly well that such a woman is attractive to men in a way their own disguised bodies can never be?" |
53611 | Do n''t you know yourself that that attire is more attractive to you than any befrilled and bedecorated arrangement of lace, ribbons and gauds? |
53611 | Do you know what this place has been?" |
53611 | Do you realize that? |
53611 | Do you think any man is attracted by a litter of odds and ends? |
53611 | Do you think it matters what particular form of worship or pettifogging details of belief you adopt? |
53611 | Do you think the community can spare us?" |
53611 | Does it matter? |
53611 | Does n''t every woman sneer when they see some Frenchwoman, perhaps, who dresses to display her figure instead of hiding it? |
53611 | Doubtless she meditated on the many wrongs her daughters had done her, and wondered why she should have been brought out to die in this wilderness? |
53611 | Even when Mrs Gosling asked with perfect relevance,"Are we going to stop''ere, Blanche?" |
53611 | Five years ago I''adn''t got my big rise----""Oh, no, father; what would the neighbours think of us if we started to take boarders again?" |
53611 | Flack lifted his spectacles and holding them on a level with his eyebrows, said,"Bad news?" |
53611 | For a moment they stood awkwardly, staring; then Gurney said,"Any more news?" |
53611 | Had he been alone, that plunderer, or had his companions fled from him in terror? |
53611 | Have n''t we, Millie?" |
53611 | Have we, Millie?" |
53611 | Have you far to go?" |
53611 | Have you seen it?" |
53611 | He heard her and looked up,"What is it?" |
53611 | He pondered that for a time, and then asked,"Who were you?" |
53611 | How could one account for one''s presence in a London thoroughfare at seven o''clock on a bright May evening in such attire? |
53611 | How do we know that vessels have n''t been passing up the Channel for months past? |
53611 | I am writing now to tell you that I shall be back in London in a few days, and to ask you whether you can find a room for me in Wisteria Grove?''" |
53611 | I do n''t think----""Would n''t you be frightened of me if I picked you up and ran shouting into the woods?" |
53611 | I thought, perhaps, you might be willing to let us have some milk and eggs and vegetables in exchange?" |
53611 | I want you to tell me, were there any young men in London when you left? |
53611 | I was willing to reject it if I could find a flaw....""And then?" |
53611 | If she could sleep in your kitchen...? |
53611 | If you saw Pan, why should n''t she see Dionysus? |
53611 | In the bountiful South such a life might have its rewards, but how could they endure it in this uncertain and cruel North? |
53611 | Is it not inconceivable that any race of men could be wiser, more perfect than ourselves? |
53611 | Is it possible that there is traffic between America and Europe, and that they pass us by for fear of infection? |
53611 | Is n''t it awful how careless we are?" |
53611 | It iss well that we cling together? |
53611 | Jasper, surely we have all learnt certain things to avoid, have n''t we? |
53611 | Jasper, what? |
53611 | London William Heinemann 1913 BOOK I THE NEW PLAGUE I-- THE GOSLING FAMILY 1"Where''s the gels gone to?" |
53611 | Millie, lazy and indifferent, shrugged her shoulders and replied:"All very well, mother, but what can we do?" |
53611 | Not in the Strand?" |
53611 | Now we can be two jolly, clean human beings who understand each other, ca n''t we? |
53611 | Of what account was it that one girl was prettier or better dressed than her neighbour? |
53611 | She considered earnestly for a few moments and then asked:"Did you go into Charing Cross Post Office? |
53611 | She hesitated for a moment, and then said:"And what about you? |
53611 | Such a silly incongruous growth, was n''t it? |
53611 | Surely she must see that everything was different now? |
53611 | Surely they''ll keep the water goin'', though; whatever''appens, they''d surely keep the water on?" |
53611 | That was coming; that would have come if this plague....""What was that?" |
53611 | There were cries of"What is it?... |
53611 | Thirty miles or so, anyway?" |
53611 | This is where we are facing the beginning of law-- isn''t it? |
53611 | Understand?" |
53611 | Was she not, also, a widow? |
53611 | We buy heavily; yes? |
53611 | Well, are women all fools, or what is it?" |
53611 | Were the old gods coming back to witness the death of man, as they had witnessed his birth? |
53611 | Were women there, also, maintaining the terrible fight against Nature in the awful struggle to find food? |
53611 | What about your mother and you two girls? |
53611 | What are you afraid of?" |
53611 | What can I do?" |
53611 | What do these huge shops sell?" |
53611 | What had they to work for, and to hope for, save this miserable possession of unsatisfied life? |
53611 | What hope was there for that generation? |
53611 | What if it did?" |
53611 | What was his name? |
53611 | What was that?" |
53611 | What will they be like in five years''time? |
53611 | What work would there be to do? |
53611 | What''d they do with money if they got it?" |
53611 | What?" |
53611 | What?" |
53611 | When Mr Barker took up my advice, as''e did very quick, Mr Prince said,''You do n''t tell me as you really take this plague serious, Barker?'' |
53611 | Where are you going to sleep to- night?" |
53611 | Where are you going? |
53611 | Who cared if some mad woman plundered every jeweller''s shop in the whole City? |
53611 | Who was to forbid theft or avenge murder? |
53611 | Who would do the work? |
53611 | Who''s that?" |
53611 | Who''s to wind''em?" |
53611 | Why are so many men irresistibly attracted by parlourmaids and housemaids?" |
53611 | Why do n''t they keep away from''em?" |
53611 | Why do n''t we have these windows cleaned sometimes?" |
53611 | Why do the fashions change every year-- sometimes more often than that in matters of detail? |
53611 | Why should he wait? |
53611 | Why should we think that this is the first?" |
53611 | Why would her mother be so foolish? |
53611 | Why, in the name of God, could not people keep quiet? |
53611 | Why, she argued, should n''t she go into Wycombe? |
53611 | Will you come and help us?" |
53611 | With one man to every thousand women or so, what can you expect? |
53611 | With the wind blowing towards us?" |
53611 | Would you care to go out as our special commissioner and report at length?..." |
53611 | Yes? |
53611 | Yes?" |
53611 | Yes?" |
53611 | Yes?" |
53611 | Yes?" |
53611 | You do n''t want to go to bed?" |
53611 | You have n''t seen any young man who at all resembles this photograph, have you?" |
53611 | You''re new here, are n''t you?" |
53611 | Zo?" |
53611 | a Queen, are you?" |
53611 | ai n''t it?" |
53611 | but shall you?" |
53611 | ca n''t you understand, mother,"broke out Blanche petulantly,"that the whole of London is absolutely deserted? |
53611 | ejaculated Gurney;"do you mean to say that women just accept these fashions without any sense or reason at all?" |
53611 | through the stage of"Well, well,''ow much do you want? |
53611 | what are you doing?" |
53611 | what does it matter?" |
53611 | what, what? |
53611 | where''s Cis? |
53611 | why to goodness not?" |
