20054O''Shea,said Caius,"has-- has Madame Le Maà ® tre a daughter?"
20054Perhaps ye think the gintleman that is coming has redeeming features about him?
20054The men about here,he said--"I ca n''t make anything out of them-- are they lawless?"

20054Was it a dog swimming?
20054Was it a shark with a man stuck in its throat?
20054We should be quite certain to know if there was any woman paying a visit hereabout, should n''t we? 20054 Well, now"--good- humouredly--"what did you see?"
20054Well, what sort of a decent man is it that would have stayed away from her all these years, poor lamb? 20054 Well, where are you going?"
20054Well, where was she, and who was she?
20054Well,asked the old man with triumph in his voice, as one who capped an argument,"did you ever see man or woman swim like that?"

20054What sort of a man?
20054What sort of a thing?
20054What sort of things grow here?
20054What was it you watched?
20054What?
20054When you lived so near us,he asked,"did you ever come across the woods and see my father''s house?
20054Where are we going? 20054 Where are you going?"
20054Where did he go to?
20054Where have you been?
20054Where? 20054 Who?"
20054Who?
20054Why did she come to the islands?
20054Why did the horse come here?
20054Why did you come?
20054Why should O''Shea want to kill him?
20054Why?
20054Would you let it be said that in all these parts there was no one to act the man but a woman?
20054Ye see these men?
20054Yes?
20054You are going on?
20054You do n''t think she''ll go?
20054You have n''t seen anything odd in the sea about here, have you?
20054You have told her?
20054Your son and daughter are too far away to be sent for?
20054A relief from what?
20054And then I stood here, jist about where you are now, and the woman in the water she saw me--""Now, how do you know it was a woman?"
20054And then meditatively, after he had finished his newspaper paragraph:"What dealings have you ever had with her?"
20054And why?
20054And would not they themselves, Caius asked, in such a case, take pity on a stranger who had need of a wife?
20054At last he spoke:"But why do you think it right to sacrifice yourself to this man?
20054But what do we deserve-- you and I?"
20054But, after all, what had he done of which he was ashamed?
20054Caius said nothing; but in a minute, grasping at the one straw of hope which he saw,"What are you going to do?"
20054Can you not get rid of this bond of marriage?"
20054Can you not give that a passing thought of pity?
20054Can you see behind the island?
20054Could he find, then, other shrift?
20054Could one man''s crime be another man''s blessing?
20054Day?"
20054Did it look as if it could do any harm?"
20054Did you ever see anything like that?"
20054Did you see my father and mother?
20054Do n''t you see the wedding dance?"
20054Do you think I do n''t know my own child?
20054Do you think that I am hard- hearted?
20054Do you think the holy Mother of God-- looking down upon me, her child-- wants me to get out of trouble in_ that_ way?"
20054Explanation?
20054Had O''Shea a good conscience now?
20054Had he contemplated for a moment taking his life in his hand and obeying the unexpected appeal?
20054Had he done anything wrong?
20054Had he felt any emotion that it was not natural to feel?
20054Had he not proof at least now that she was no dream or phantasy, and more than that, that she inhabited the same small land with him?
20054Had she not said that love in itself was good?
20054Have n''t ye wits enough about ye to take it and be thankful?"
20054Have you not read about St. John?
20054He had been a good man; he had preferred good to evil: had it all been a farce?
20054He said to Caius:"You are acquainted with her?"
20054How did he know that some of these were men, and some were women?
20054How do you know?"
20054How will you look making inquiries about sick folk as if you had a great fortune to spend upon philanthropy, when it turns out that you have none?
20054If I withheld anything from God, how could I win my soul?"
20054If Josephine would not come away with him, would O''Shea find a way of killing Le Maà ® tre?
20054In that other time when she had lived in the sea, and he had seen her from the desolate bit of coast, who was she?
20054In what way could she have gained her information concerning him?
20054It was three years since the old man had seen the same apparition; how much might three years stand for in the life of a mermaid?
20054It''s a simple thing enough; what harm''s there in it?"
20054Le Maà ® tre?"
20054Now the lady answered his last remark:"What is it you see?"
20054Now, what do you think of that?"
20054Shall I choose to be what you call a''missionary''to the poor and sick-- and refuse God''s will?
20054Then, after awhile:"By the way, O''Shea,_ who_ is Madame Le Maà ® tre?"
20054Then, too, if he dared to woo her, what would be the result?
20054These people knew her; nay( his mind worked quickly), was it not evident that she had been the link of connection between them and himself?
20054Was it a dog swimming?
20054Was it a good omen?
20054Was it a porpoise that had ventured so near?
20054Was it a porpoise?"
20054Was it not possible that he, rude, whimsical man that he was, might have influence with the sea- maid of the laughing face?
20054Was it possible that any woman could be bathing from the island, and have the audacity to ask him to share her sport?
20054Was it safe, he asked, to drive to Cloud Island that day?
20054Was she married here?"
20054We only put up with that when we can not get the other, and why?
20054What are ye afraid of, man?
20054What are you so slow for?
20054What are you turning off the road for?"
20054What could have tempted her to play the part of a fishy thing?
20054What did that mean?
20054What difference did it make, a few hours more or less?
20054What do you think you can do?
20054What does your heart say?
20054What foundation had he for it?
20054What right had he to suppose such plan had been formed?
20054What was her standard?
20054What was his guilt?
20054What''s Heaven going to do for her, I''d loike to know?"
20054Where do they live?"
20054Where had she really lived?
20054Who am I that I should know best?
20054Who do you think she was married to?
20054Who is she married to?"
20054Who is she, and where is she?"
20054Who would go to these people if he did not go?
20054Why do you like what appears so strange?
20054Why do you think he is not dead?
20054Why has he let her alone all these years?"
20054Why not go home now, and be rid of such a suspicious character as I have shown myself to be?
20054Why not?
20054Why should it?
20054Why should we think it the grandest thing to give what we would scorn to take?
20054Why will you not understand?
20054Why, if this deed were so good, could he not, after the doing of it, go back to her and read gratitude in her eyes?
20054Will ye hit in the face of the frost and the wind if ye''re left here to perish by cold, with your clothes wet as they are?
20054Will ye swear?"
20054Will you listen while I try to tell you?"
20054Would O''Shea make him drunk, and then cast him headfirst into the swallowing sand?
20054Would he continue to be in all respects the man he had been, and the staunch friend of Josephine?
20054Would they give it now, he wondered, if they could see his heart?
20054Would you like to see them?"
20054and would it be a way to make her laugh?
20054my boy, yes; it''s the distance and the weather; but what are we here for but to do our work?
20054or do we just go on as before, and think our own way good enough?
20054then_ where_ is he?"
20054this is----"Then, more understandingly,"This is an account you have written of your journey hither?"
20054ye think ye''ll foight for it, do ye?"
5340''Max,''she said,''have you brought Fatima?'' 5340 All alone?"
5340And Chester-- where is he?
5340And me? 5340 And what about me?"
5340And what is to become of me?
5340And where else would I be going?
5340Are you feeling any worse, Naomi? 5340 Are you feeling worse, Naomi?"
5340Are you watching for the mermaids?
5340Aunt Rachel, I''m not too late?
5340Betty, whom do you love?
5340But what is in it? 5340 But why do you want me to go?
5340Ca n''t you see we''re not wanted here?
5340Can not she do as much for him as I can?
5340Can you stand some good news, Thyra?
5340David,she whispered, as he helped her over the fence,"how can you ever forgive me?"
5340Dear me,said Aunt Cynthia, sniffing,"do n''t I smell smoke?
5340Did I say we would take her?
5340Did n''t you ever have a beau, Miss Holmes?
5340Did you go there to see Damaris?
5340Did you see anything of Chester on the road?
5340Do YOU wish me to marry Frank, Stephen?
5340Do you mean to say that your wife is going to turn me out?
5340Do you suppose that_ I_ am going to David Spencer''s house?
5340Do you suppose, now, that you could give me a kiss?
5340Do you think Anne Shirley is really engaged to Gilbert Blythe?
5340Do you think it has cost too much, Sue?
5340Does she eat anything but milk? 5340 Eh, now?
5340Eunice, what makes you do that every time anything startles you?
5340He was so handsome, was n''t he, Aunt Rachel?
5340How could I help it, David? 5340 How does Sara like teaching at Newbridge?"
5340How is Jane?
5340How long does it take for smallpox to develop after one has been exposed to it?
5340How long?
5340How shall we account for her when Aunt Cynthia comes home?
5340How under the canopy could you keep house without me? 5340 I merely called to tell you--""To tell me WHAT?"
5340I suppose it''s true, this time?
5340I suppose,she said,"that you have heard the news?"
5340If Lige Baxter is n''t good enough for her, who is?
5340If so, why should I have refused him time and again?
5340Is it anything about your heart?
5340Is there yet one,he asked gently,"who wishes to be especially remembered in our concluding prayer?"
5340Is-- it-- time?
5340It does seem most too pretty to bury, does n''t it? 5340 Josie, dearest, what do you mean, and where have you been?"
5340Lige,she said softly,"do you love me still?"
5340Look here, Mollie,said Eben awkwardly at last,"are you going to stand up for prayers to- night?"
5340Ma, do you want the light lit?
5340Mary, is it true that Mollie wo n''t come out because of me? 5340 Mary, is the elder going to testify to- night?"
5340Max, ca n''t you find some way out of this scrape for us?
5340Max,I said, imploringly,"you''ll see us through this, wo n''t you?
5340Must I?
5340Oh, David, wo n''t you get up to- night? 5340 Oh, Frank, is it very late?
5340Oh, Miss Holmes, have you seen him yet?
5340Oh, dear sister, is there any need of such a promise?
5340Oh, do n''t you hear him? 5340 Oh, wo n''t you tell us about him, Miss Holmes?"
5340Phillippa,said Owen, and the pain in his voice made my old heart ache bitterer than ever,"have you ceased to love me?"
5340Pretty near the limit, is n''t it? 5340 Rachel Spencer, have you taken leave of your senses?
5340Really, it''s all very romantic, is n''t it? 5340 Sara, why do n''t you like Lige?
5340Seen whom?
5340Sick? 5340 The door is shut, is it, Eunice?"
5340WHO called you?
5340We did n''t think it would be like this once, did we, Aunt Rachel?
5340Well, have you finished?
5340What am I to you, then?
5340What did he look like?
5340What difference does it make about me-- a half- breed girl? 5340 What do you mean?"
5340What do you want here?
5340What does the doctor say?
5340What have you got against Victoria?
5340What if I do, mother? 5340 What if father heard you?"
5340What is it now?
5340What is it?
5340What is the man talking about?
5340What shall we do?
5340What was he?
5340What was his name?
5340What-- sort of a gentleman, Nancy?
5340When will you marry me, Betty?
5340Where did you meet him?
5340Where is Father Gabriel? 5340 Where''s Rachel?
5340Who, or what''s to blame for the failure?
5340Why did n''t you marry him?
5340Why did n''t you tell her it was no business of hers?
5340Why did you go out so-- alone in the night?
5340Why do n''t you ask me to come and see you again?
5340Why do you always speak of yourself as old?
5340Will it satisfy you, Owen, if Phillippa comes down here and chooses between us?
5340Will nothing else content you?
5340Will you go home and ask uncle if he''ll go, or send for Doctor Spencer? 5340 Will you marry me, Sue?"
5340Wo n''t you decide to- night, Mollie?
5340You know that black cat we''ve had for two years? 5340 You mean Camilla Jane, I presume?"
5340You''re not engaged to her?
5340A week later Caroline said to Eunice,"Whatever''s got Christopher?
5340Ai n''t I the oldest?
5340Am I standing in my child''s light?"
5340And did n''t the little thing thrive with me, and grow strong and healthy?
5340And have n''t I had experience in bringing up babies?
5340And me?"
5340And was I not pleased at the success of my scheme?
5340And what am I to do with it?"
5340And what does he mean about the''day they had such a good time''?
5340And when William Ellis got married again, and took the baby, did n''t the child cling to me and cry as if I was its real mother?
5340And who has a better right to it than me, I should like to know?
5340And will I die?"
5340And would Christopher allow it, after all her sacrifices for him?
5340Are you listening, Eunice?"
5340As Aunt Jane said in disgust,"What can you do with a woman who wo n''t even TALK?"
5340As for Chris, in a year or two he''ll be marrying himself, and where will you be then?
5340Ashamed?
5340At such times what was a man to do save kiss it?
5340Besides, what did it matter?
5340But I ventured to ask,"What if anything happens to her while you are away?"
5340But do n''t you think you''d better come back now?
5340But do n''t you think you''ve made her rather too clever?
5340But do you think Max has really fallen in love with her?"
5340But what had she not taught me?
5340But what then?
5340But who would ever have supposed that there could be a real Cecil Fenwick who had lived in Blakely?
5340But, oh, Rosetta, wo n''t you let me come and see her sometimes?
5340But, sir, d''ye suppose she set that innocent child adrift in that old leaky dory to send him to his death?
5340Ca n''t you hear him?
5340Ca n''t you hear it?"
5340Chester, answer me-- do you love her?"
5340Confound it, might n''t a future uncle cherish a family affection for his prospective niece?
5340DO you, Stephen?"
5340Dear, dear, had Charlotte taken a bad heart spell, on hearing that she, Rosetta, had stolen a march on her to Charlottetown?
5340Did Betty suspect?
5340Did n''t Caroline tell you?
5340Did n''t I take William Ellis''s baby, when his wife died?
5340Did n''t you ever think the time would come when I would want to marry, like other men?"
5340Did n''t you tell me your Aunt''s address was 10 Pleasant Street?"
5340Did you say that Christopher has-- the smallpox?"
5340Do you remember how he looked, Aunt Rachel?"
5340Do you remember that day we had such a good time?
5340Do you remember?
5340Eh, now?"
5340Eunice, do you think it''s really smallpox?
5340Even a hunchback can use his eyes, eh?
5340Gordon?"
5340Had anything happened to Damaris?
5340Have you ever seen one?"
5340Have you gone clean out of your senses?
5340Have you quarreled with Frank?"
5340Have you sent word to Victoria?"
5340How dare you come to my house and steal a baby?
5340How did it happen?
5340How did you hear?
5340I ask you what you mean by it?"
5340I fall trembling, even yet, when I think,"What if I had sent Isabella to that door?"
5340I only--""Then what do you mean by coming here and telling me she was n''t, and frightening me half to death?"
5340In this frenzy of hers what might she not do?
5340Is Chester down at Tom Blair''s while I have been sitting here, alone, waiting for him?"
5340Is n''t she the sweetest thing?
5340Is n''t that enough, Betty?"
5340Is the pain coming back?"
5340It sends a creep all over me to hear Mr. Bentley say,''Now, is n''t there one more to say a word for Jesus?''
5340It would n''t be such a dreadful thing, would it?"
5340Louisa, dear, can you find me a good needle?"
5340Lovely night, ai n''t it?"
5340Mark behaved splendidly, did n''t he?
5340Now, is it, Louisa?"
5340Now, what in the name of time, did Mrs. Wheeler want with such stuff?
5340Oh, are you angry?"
5340Oh, how can I bear it?
5340Or in talking to her either?
5340Pshaw, what did it matter?
5340Repentant?
5340She said that Paul was infatuated with my youth and beauty but that it would not last and what else had I to give him?
5340She was waiting for him and she said, without any preface:"Mr. Carey, why do you never come to see me, now?"
5340So what is the use of being grouchy?"
5340Taking a moonlight stroll by yourself?
5340That is so-- is it not?
5340That is to say, unlike them in any respect wherein she should resemble them?
5340Was Betty really unlike other girls?
5340Was not Betty at last a belle?
5340Was not that what I had brought him there for?
5340Was she to be driven from her home and parted from the only creature she had on earth to love?
5340Was that last sentence meant to inform me that she was aware of my secret folly, and laughed at it?
5340Was the power to keep it to be wrested from her?
5340Was there anything lacking?
5340Was there ever such a little fool?"
5340Was this fate coming on my dear wife?
5340Was this some more of Victoria''s work?
5340Well, what of it?
5340Well, what of it?
5340What could I do but go to him?
5340What do you feel like?
5340What do you mean by such nonsense as this?"
5340What do you suppose she was doing down there at this hour of the night?"
5340What good can the doctor do me?
5340What had happened?
5340What had that grim old bygone to do with springtime and love and Josephine?
5340What if I did go to see Damaris?"
5340What in thunder is she riding like that for?"
5340What is it?"
5340What made you come that way?
5340What might he be like?"
5340What on earth had they done to Betty?
5340What should I do?
5340What time is it, Aunt Rachel?"
5340What was I to think when Phillippa would n''t answer my letters?"
5340What was it?
5340What was she writing to Charlotte about?
5340What was the meaning of it all?
5340What''s that baby- face to you, compared to your mother?
5340What''s the matter with him?"
5340What''s the matter with you?"
5340When did you take sick?"
5340When do you expect Victoria home?"
5340Whence had he come?
5340Where are your eyes, my dear lady, that you ca n''t see the promise of loveliness in Betty?"
5340Where has he been?"
5340Where on earth are you going?"
5340Where''s Charles?"
5340Which of us will you marry, Phillippa?"
5340Who ever heard of a bridegroom talking of forgiveness?
5340Who had a better right to watch over his daughter?
5340Who has been tampering with you?
5340Whose child was this?
5340Why did n''t you come home when you were alive?
5340Why did n''t you write?"
5340Why do you object to Damaris?
5340Why not have called her Methusaleh and have done with it?"
5340Why should n''t you be?"
5340Why was this?
5340Will it do to give her mice?"
5340Will you have him taken to the hospital?"
5340You have always taken my advice and obeyed my wishes; and you''ve always found my way the best, in the long run, have n''t you, Betty?
5340You wo n''t send me to a boarding- school, will you, Stephen?
5340You wo n''t shut me up in a room and make me sew, will you?
5340You''ll go, wo n''t you?"
5340You''ve been vaccinated lately?"
5340Young men will be young men to the end of time, and there''s no harm in Chester''s liking to look at a lass, eh, now?
5340she coaxed,"and why did n''t you marry him?"
544''When do you expect her?'' 544 Ai n''t he a dear little man?"
544And Dick-- George, I mean? 544 And Persis Leigh was on board?"
544And do you know that the old sea captain who keeps the Four Winds light knew John Selwyn and his bride well in his boyhood? 544 And is n''t that a pessimist?"
544And is she going to have the operation?
544And leave this darling spot-- our house of dreams?
544And what did he say?
544And what happened to the steak?
544And why did Uncle Dave tell her that, if it was n''t true?
544And why did n''t he?
544And you are never lonely?
544And you have come home alone, Leslie?
544And you won''t-- you wo n''t tell Gilbert?
544And you''ll be married in the parlor?
544And you''ve decided not to have any bridesmaid?
544And-- and-- Gilbert-- will this baby live?
544Anne, how did you know? 544 Anne, what are you up to?
544Anne, will you let me come and stay with you while Susan is away?
544Anne,she said in a low, reproachful voice,"did you know Owen Ford was coming to Four Winds?"
544Are Alec and Alonzo married yet?
544Are n''t they the cutest little cusses?
544Are you asking me because you think you ought to, or because you really want to?
544Are you called out?
544Are you going to marry Marshall Elliott?
544But living-- going about in the flesh?
544But the house itself, Gilbert,--OUR first home? 544 But you are going to wear a veil, are n''t you?"
544Can it be possible? 544 Can you read futures in the fire, Captain Jim?"
544Captain Jim, who was that who just went out?
544Come with me?
544Come, come, Cornelia, do n''t you think you''re a mite unreasonable?
544DO you?
544Dick Moore?
544Did n''t you know you took your life in your hands?
544Did she?
544Did you hear how Geordie Russell was today, Captain Jim?
544Did you lose it on the way home?
544Do n''t you know ANY good husbands, Miss Bryant?
544Do n''t you think Dick should be considered a little too?
544Do n''t you think that Methodists go to heaven as well as Presbyterians?
544Do you believe in him at all?
544Do you blame me so very much?
544Do you despise me?
544Do you know who Mr. Ford is, Captain Jim?
544Do you know why, Mistress Blythe? 544 Do you remember our first walk down this hill, Anne-- our first walk together anywhere, for that matter?"
544Do you remember, Anne,said Leslie slowly,"that I once said-- that night we met on the shore-- that I hated my good looks?
544Do you think I''m too young and inexperienced for matrimony?
544Do you think I''m wicked-- unwomanly? 544 Do you think he did see it?"
544Does SHE care?
544Does anyone ever call him that now?
544Does he call you Leonora?
544Does it make you creepy?
544Does n''t he know as much about it as you?
544Does she mean that Dick''s memory is really restored?
544Does she say what she is going to do? 544 Gilbert, who is the girl we have just passed?"
544Gilbert, would you like my hair better if it were like Leslie''s?
544Gilbert,whispered Anne imploringly,"the baby-- is all right-- isn''t she?
544Had I not better get up a snack for him? 544 Have I lost my friend?"
544Have they decided to come to the Island this summer? 544 Have you been to Patty''s Place lately?"
544Have you ever found out who that girl was whom you thought so beautiful?
544Have you really proof that he said that, Cornelia?
544He is asleep?
544He''s a rare old fellow, is n''t he?
544How can you ask that when you know what a good Presbyterian I am, Cornelia? 544 How could he help getting the mumps, poor fellow?"
544How did he bring it about?
544How did she take it?
544How did she take it?
544How did you know?
544How did you know?
544How does Leslie seem to take it?
544How is poor old Aunt Mandy tonight?
544How long did it take you to get over your disappointment?
544How long did they live here?
544How will she be able to pay back the money she borrows, or make a living for herself and that big helpless creature if she sells the farm?
544I could n''t hear to that-- could you, Matey? 544 I felt the resentment in your eyes-- then I doubted-- I thought I must be mistaken-- because WHY should it be?"
544I never was any hand at guessing, Mistress Blythe, and yet somehow when I come in I thought,''Where have I seen them eyes before?'' 544 I suppose that Uncle Dave has a conscience too, has n''t he?"
544If it comes to that, whatever are YOU doing here?
544If life were to stop short just now it would still have been richly worth while, just for the sake of these past four weeks, would n''t it?
544Is he a modern Nazarite or a Hebrew prophet left over from olden times?
544Is it settled yet where you are going to live?
544Is it?
544Is n''t she lovely, Gilbert? 544 Is n''t that a view worth looking at?"
544Is n''t that beautiful?
544Is n''t that beautiful?
544Is n''t there something odd about his eyes?
544Is that any good reason why he should poke her new suit into the kitchen stove? 544 Is the government of the country to be left solely to the rogues then?"
544Is there anybody else of your acquaintance who can afford to hang his walls with banknotes for pictures?
544Is this you, Mistress Blythe?
544It has all such a heart- broken, reproachful look, has n''t it?
544It''s like the spirit of a shadow, is n''t it?
544Leslie seemed very quiet tonight, did n''t she?
544Leslie, dearest, what is the trouble?
544Lord, Anne, dearie, I''ve got eyes, have n''t I? 544 Lord, is it that late?"
544Miss Cornelia is a darling, is n''t she?
544Never-- when you are alone?
544Nice and far from the market- place, ai n''t it? 544 Nice gentle missile, was n''t it?
544No, what was that?
544Now, are they?
544Oh, Anne, where? 544 Oh, Miss Cornelia, how did you find out?"
544Oh, how is he?
544Oh, so that is why you said,''You''ve got a new clock at Green Gables, have n''t you?'' 544 Oh, where?
544Oh, will it NEVER end?
544She is very lovely, is n''t she?
544She was fond of it?
544So Mrs. Dick Moore is n''t one of the race that knows Joseph?
544Sour grapes?
544Speaking of Taylors, how is Mrs. Lewis Taylor up at the Glen, doctor?
544Suppose we buy it, Anne?
544The race that knows Joseph?
544Then father''s health got worse and he grew despondent-- his mind became unbalanced-- you''ve heard all that, too?
544There''s nothing wrong with little Jem, is there, Susan?
544They''d have made an ideal couple, would n''t they?
544Ulysses? 544 Was Persis Leigh beautiful?"
544Was it a successful function?
544Was n''t he up to your place one Sunday lately, with his funeral blacks on, and a boiled collar?
544Was n''t that like a man? 544 Was she a part of the story I''ve heard was connected with this house?"
544Was that the only one of your dreams that has come true?
544Was the First Mate one of the forsaken?
544We have been very happy here, have n''t we, Anne- girl?
544Well, there''s such a thing as decency, is n''t there? 544 Well, what did Leslie say?"
544Were n''t you listening to Captain Jim and yours truly the other night when we discussed that subject generally? 544 Were you able to eat enough pie to please her?"
544What about Job?
544What are you going to call him?
544What caused the trouble in our choir?
544What does his wife think of it?
544What does she mean by''successfully?''
544What had happened to him?
544What has happened, Anne?
544What have the men been doing now?
544What if the singing is n''t good? 544 What in the world was she doing over there on the bar alone?"
544What is he like, Miss Cornelia?
544What is it?
544What is your idea?
544What made him do that?
544What sort of a chap is Ford?
544What will you do?
544What would we do without you?
544What''s that? 544 Whatever are you doing-- HERE-- tonight?"
544When are you to be married?
544Where are you going for your wedding tour?
544Where have you sprung from? 544 Where is Leslie?"
544Who in the world can he be?
544Who is Captain Jim?
544Who is attending to the light tonight, Captain Jim?
544Who is that beautiful creature?
544Who lives in that brilliant emerald house about half a mile up the road?
544Who lives in the house among the willows up the brook?
544Who owns the house?
544Who was he?
544Who was she?
544Why do n''t you try your hand at it yourself, Anne?
544Why do you hate the men so, Miss Bryant?
544Why should n''t you wear it if you want to?
544Why, Susan, what is the matter?
544Why, what in the world have you to say about Dick Moore?
544Why?
544Will you go down to the Point with me this evening, Mrs. Blythe? 544 Will you tell me just what Leslie said and how she acted the night you met her on the shore?"
544Wo n''t you let Mr. Ford see your life- book, Captain Jim?
544Would you like company or would you rather be alone?
544Would you marry him if he were a Methodist, Miss Cornelia?
544Yes,--he''s mentally deficient, or something of the sort, is n''t he? 544 You KNEW it?"
544You ca n''t mean that Miss Patty has sent me her china dogs?
544You do n''t suppose I would live over harbor with all those MacAllisters and Elliotts and Crawfords, do you? 544 You have n''t begun it yet?"
544You know Miss Cornelia?
544You like it?
544You noticed that? 544 You wo n''t mind if I talk a good deal about her, will you, Mistress Blythe?
544You''re not in earnest, Gilbert?
544Your house of dreams?
544''Uncle Jim, if I was n''t ME who''d I be?''
544''Were you scared?''
544''Who told you?''
544''Yes, what was it?''
544Ah, Susan, have YOU heard the news?
544Ai n''t it funny how ashamed boys are of tears?"
544Ai n''t it strange how innocent little creatures like children like the blood- thirstiest stories?"
544Alexander MacAllister, he says to Andrew Peters,''Well, and what do you think of Father Chiniquy now?''
544And Leslie-- what of Leslie?
544And how do you know it was God''s will?
544And if we leave this place who will get it?
544And oo dest agwees wif evy word muzzer says, do n''t oo, angel- lover?"
544And so you''re going to Kingsport?
544And so you''re going to be married yourself, Miss Shirley, ma''am?
544And then you remember that night at the shore?
544And what would Mrs. Harmon Andrews say?"
544And yet-- how was it she had never thought of it?
544And you still want to be my friend?"
544Anne, are you not glad?"
544Anne, did Miss Cornelia ever tell you how I came to marry Dick?"
544Anne, would you have married Billy if he had asked you himself, instead of getting Jane to do it for him?"
544Are there TREES about this house?"
544Are there such things, Doctor?"
544Are you going to set him loose again to roar and to devour?"
544Blythe?"
544But I meant how did you like her?"
544But are you SURE of it?"
544But did you ever see such drifts?
544But do you suppose I was going to walk into church beside a perambulating haystack like that?"
544But had not love the truer vision?
544But then I never did whip you, did I, Paul?
544But was she alone?
544But what could I do, Mistress Blythe?
544But what else would you expect of a man who never goes to church, even a Methodist one?
544But what would you expect of a committee of men?
544By the way, has Leslie ever been over to call on you yet?"
544CHAPTER 3 THE LAND OF DREAMS AMONG"Have you made up your mind who you''re going to have to the wedding, Anne?"
544CHAPTER 36 BEAUTY FOR ASHES"Any news from Green Gables, Anne?"
544CHAPTER 7 THE SCHOOLMASTER''S BRIDE"Who was the first bride who came to this house, Captain Jim?"
544Can a child who is constantly called''tweet itty wee singie''ever attain to any proper conception of his own being and possibilities and destiny?"
544Can not anything be done nohow, Miss Cuthbert?"
544Captain Jim-- where are you?
544Cornelia, will you ever forget the one when old Luther Burns got up and made a speech?
544Could he make her as happy as he hoped?
544Could this splendid six feet of manhood be the little Paul of Avonlea schooldays?
544Curious, was n''t it?
544Dick Moore is dead-- has been dead all these years-- and Leslie is free?"
544Did I never tell you the yarn about Henry getting the fish hook in his nose, Mistress Blythe?"
544Did it ever occur to you that he was fond of her?"
544Did n''t I bring up three pairs of Hammond twins before I was eleven?
544Did you ever hear the like in your born days, dearie?
544Did you ever see George Moore, Miss Cornelia?"
544Did you ever see her hair?
544Did you notice the sky tonight?
544Do I smell cherry pie?
544Do you know anyone we can get?"
544Do you know how?"
544Do you know when and where I''d like to be married, if I could?
544Do you really think his tales are all true?"
544Do you remember that time last summer I treated him for those carbuncles on his neck?"
544Do you suppose Captain Jim would let me do it?"
544Do you think I would do such a thing?"
544Do you think I''d let you go over to that lonely, sad place again?"
544Doctor, dear, have I not?"
544Doctor, dear, is it true that Cornelia Bryant is going to be married to Marshall Elliott?"
544Doctor, dear, would you?"
544Doctor, dear?
544Doctor, dear?
544Doctor, dear?"
544Ford?"
544Ford?"
544Gilbert, have you ever once thought what it would mean for Leslie if Dick Moore were to be restored to his right senses?
544Had anything happened at Green Gables?
544Had he worked too hard over his book?
544Had not that poor girl suffered enough without this?
544Have you ever noticed what heaps of good people die, Anne, dearie?
544Have you ever seen Dick Moore, Gilbert?"
544Have you ever seen Dick Moore?"
544Have you heard of Billy''s latest performance?"
544He clutched my hand fervently one night, and said imploringly,''My DEAR sister Bryant, are you a Christian?''
544He was a FRIEND-- you understand, Mistress Blythe?
544His face just looks like one of those long, narrow stones in the graveyard, does n''t it?
544How DO you keep so slim, Anne?
544How can I live, Anne?
544How can she bear it, Miss Cuthbert?
544How could a Presbyterian get along without a devil?"
544How could she leave them?
544How did they know I was going to be married?"
544How is your sister?"
544How''d we stand living if it was n''t for our dream of immortality?
544I can see that clearly enough now-- and I''m so ashamed of myself-- and will you ever really forgive me?"
544I said,''Do you know me, Dick?''
544I''m afeared it''s mighty dusty here today-- but there''s no need of looking at dust when you can look at such scenery, is there?"
544If anything happens to me will you give Matey a bite and a corner, Mistress Blythe?"
544If he HAD to drown himself there was plenty of water in the harbor, was n''t there?
544In the meantime, will you just step out and give me your opinion on the meat for dinner?
544Is THAT what you phoned up to me today?"
544Is his memory fully restored?"
544Is it as plain as that?"
544Is it the pain of finality-- when we realise that there can be nothing beyond but retrogression?"
544Is n''t it all very strange?
544Is n''t it lovely to see?"
544Is n''t it strange they should be so perfect?"
544Is n''t it terrible the way some unworthy folks are loved, while others that deserve it far more, you''d think, never get much affection?
544Is n''t that like a man?
544Is n''t that like a man?
544Is n''t that like a man?"
544Is n''t that like a man?"
544Is n''t''obituary''an awful ugly word?
544Is she living yet?"
544Is that all she says?"
544It does n''t look-- exactly-- as if the occupants would be kindred spirits, Anne, does it?"
544It is very amazing, is n''t it?"
544It looks real nice now, do n''t you think?"
544It should be spelled with a G. Is n''t he perfectly beautiful?
544It''s real nice that that''s the way in books anyhow, is n''t it, even if''tistn''t so anywhere else?"
544Let me see-- you''re twenty- five, are n''t you, Anne?
544Moore?"
544Must you go?
544Nice, tasty time to pick for it, was n''t it?
544Nothing wrong with his lungs, is there?
544Oh, Gilbert, is n''t this beautiful?"
544Oh, Marilla, do you think-- you do n''t think, do you-- that his hair is going to be red?"
544Oh, WON''T you come to see me-- often?
544Oh, is it written in my face for everyone to see?
544Oh, was it really wise to go?
544Or do you think I''m just plain fool?"
544Or was he a cynical bachelor crow, believing that he travels the fastest who travels alone?
544Or was he a glossy young buck of a crow on courting thoughts intent?
544Presently Gilbert said, with a change of tone,"Do I or do I not see a full- rigged ship sailing up our lane?"
544Presently he pointed to the iris of the West:"That''s beautiful, is n''t, it, Mistress Blythe?
544Quite a combination, is n''t it?
544Seeing as we''re both Presbyterians and no Methodists around, will you tell me your candid opinion of OUR minister?"
544Shall I-- shall I?
544Shall you be lonely when I''m away?"
544She is poor-- how could she afford such an operation?"
544Strange how nature looks out for us, ai n''t it, and lets us know what we should know when the time comes?
544Such a power has a bit of divinity in it-- whether of a good or an evil divinity who shall say?
544Suppose Susan did not know just exactly what to do for him?
544Suppose he cried?
544The pink roses are love hopeful and expectant-- the white roses are love dead or forsaken-- but the red roses-- ah, Leslie, what are the red roses?"
544Then Captain Jim said very softly:"Mistress Blythe, may I tell you about lost Margaret?"
544There''s a vast of onunderstandable things in life, ai n''t there, Mistress Blythe?
544There''s no reason why we should let the men have a monopoly of temper, is there, Mrs. Blythe, dearie?"
544WHAT has happened?"
544WHY did n''t he tell me?
544Was he a family crow, with a black but comely crow wife awaiting him in the woods beyond the Glen?
544Was he worthy of her?
544Was n''t that like a man?
544Was n''t that like a man?
544Was n''t that like a man?
544Was n''t that like a man?"
544Was n''t that like a man?"
544Was n''t that like a man?"
544Was n''t that like a man?"
544Was n''t that like a man?"
544Was-- was there anything wrong?
544Well, Anne, your things are very pretty, and very suitable to your position in life, are n''t they, Jane?
544Well, what do you think of Miss Cornelia?"
544What about Owen Ford?
544What do you s''pose he DID mean, doctor?"
544What do you suppose is the reason?"
544What do you think of her?"
544What do you think?
544What else did they ever do?"
544What had come over Miss Cornelia?
544What has happened to me?''
544What has she to say?
544What is it like?"
544What is the reason that pain like this seems inseparable from perfection?
544What is the reason?
544What next?"
544What right had she to be so happy when another human soul must be so miserable?
544What secret have you been keeping from your deceived husband?"
544What time of the day is the ceremony to be?"
544What were principalities and powers, the rise and fall of dynasties, the overthrow of Grit or Tory, compared with that miraculous occurrence?
544What were the trances of this John Selwyn like?"
544What would you wish most from Patty''s Place, Anne?"
544What''s the news about Dick?"
544When I said to him, says I,''Tom, can I go to Miss Shirley''s wedding?
544When a fellow has a home and a dear, little, red- haired wife in it what more need he ask of life?"
544When is she coming home?"
544Where am I?
544Where are you off to now, Captain?"
544Where is our house?"
544Who are you?
544Who lives in that house, Gilbert?"
544Who was the creature?
544Who would not?
544Whom is your letter from?"
544Why ca n''t I sleep with father, Uncle Jim?"
544Why did n''t you write?
544Why do n''t you check me?
544Why do n''t you folks tell me to take in the slack of my jaw and go home?"
544Why do n''t you weep with those who weep?"
544Why had n''t Miss Cornelia thought of it?
544Why is it that so many of the words connected with death are so disagreeable?
544Why was n''t I called?"
544Why was not Gilbert gladder?
544Why would he not talk about the baby?
544Why would they not let her have it with her after that first heavenly-- happy hour?
544Will you ever forget the blue hall and Judson Parker''s scheme for painting medicine advertisements on his fence?"
544Will you, Miss Cornelia?"
544Would you like to sit down here outside a bit, while the light lasts?
544You WILL be her friend, wo n''t you, Anne, dearie?"
544You know that Highland Scotch family of MacNabs back of the Glen?
544You will come over and see me some time, wo n''t you?"
544You wo n''t mind, will you, dearie?
544You would n''t have thought mild little Gus could be so bloodthirsty, would you?
544You''ll write me now and then, wo n''t you, Mrs. Blythe, and give me what news there is to give of her?"
544You-- you remember what I told you of my folly that night on the sand- bar?
544and,''Uncle Jim, what would happen if God died?''
3796''Dear me, am I so full of germs?'' 3796 ''There is word from Jem?''
3796''This is terrible news, ai n''t it, Susan? 3796 ''Was n''t that some trick?''
3796''Well, why did n''t you kiss him?'' 3796 ''What''s up now?''
3796''Why did you do that?'' 3796 ''Why do n''t you run away and marry him?''
3796''You-- don''t-- know?'' 3796 A honeymoon, Susan?"
3796After you ordered me never to speak to you again? 3796 Ai n''t it funny?"
3796Am I really hurting it much, Susan, do you suppose?
3796And is n''t the sky blue over Rainbow Valley?
3796And sing at your concert?
3796Are Jem and Faith going to make a match of it?
3796Are n''t you painting it rather strong, Walter?
3796Are you looking for the new star?
3796Are you so pleased at finding you''re not all alone, lost in a huge, big, black room?
3796Bless the child,said Susan,"how do you make out that would be any kind of a punishment for that wicked fiend?"
3796But who will look after it until it can be taken to the asylum?
3796But why do you think so?
3796But you wo n''t refuse to cavort a bit in father''s new automobile when it comes, will you, Susan?
3796But, Susan, if it cries?
3796But-- will-- Venice-- be-- saved?
3796Can I?
3796Can it be England''s army of which such a thing is said?
3796Can she have taken ill?
3796Can we have a dance?
3796Can we have as much sugar as we want to now?
3796Can you tell me, Miss Oliver, how to pronounce M- l- a- w- a and B- z- u- r- a and P- r- z- e- m- y- s- l?
3796Could you not?
3796Dear Miss Cornelia, I have my hands full, have n''t I?--with all these boys and girls sweethearting around me? 3796 Did n''t you have a good time at your first party, though, Miss Oliver?"
3796Did she ever dance again?
3796Did you fall? 3796 Did you see anybody at the store?"
3796Do n''t you despise me, Rilla- my- Rilla?
3796Do n''t you think that is a kind of swearing, Susan? 3796 Do n''t you think you had better come with me now?"
3796Do you expect it will vanish some of these days with a bang and the odour of brimstone, Susan?
3796Do you mean that you would really volunteer to go if it was n''t for your ankle? 3796 Do you really believe we''ll win the war, Susan?"
3796Do you remember your walk home from the light two years ago tonight?
3796Do you think a war for which Germany has been preparing for twenty years will be over in a few weeks?
3796Do you think it dreadful, Rilla? 3796 Do you think it right to meddle with the arrangements of the Almighty?"
3796Do you think it was, Rilla?
3796Do you think you''ll like weighing out sugar and beans, and trafficking in butter and eggs?
3796Does Rilla herself want to go?
3796Does he still want you to marry him?
3796Has Sir Sam Hughes no regard for our feelings? 3796 Has n''t June been a delightful month?"
3796Has that pore orphan''s father never been heerd from yet?
3796Have n''t you, Parson? 3796 Have you got your baby to sleep?"
3796Have you heard the news, Jem?
3796Have you no regard for the proprieties? 3796 Have you noticed,"asked Miss Oliver, glancing up from her book,"how everything written before the war seems so far away now, too?
3796He said,''It is-- is it-- Ken Ford?'' 3796 He''s a decorative kiddy all right, is n''t he?"
3796Hello, is this Ingleside?
3796How did our society insult her?
3796How did she know? 3796 How did you induce your mother to let you go to the dance?"
3796How is your ankle?
3796I can not,moaned Rilla,"Jem was wounded-- what chance would he have?
3796I can think of nothing but the question,''Does the line still hold?''
3796I thought I heard she was going to be married?
3796I wonder if astronomers feel a very deep interest in earthly affairs?
3796I wonder,said Gertrude dreamily,"if some great blessing, great enough for the price, will be the meed of all our pain?
3796If Jerry is killed will you feel so fine about it?
3796Irene looked at him and said,''Does he often cry like that?'' 3796 Is God dead?"
3796Is Rilla going to Queen''s when Shirley goes back?
3796Is Walter quite strong enough for Redmond yet?
3796Is he any good-- the father, I mean?
3796Is he? 3796 Is it Rilla- my- Rilla?"
3796Is n''t that the same thing as thanking Him that some other woman''s son has to go in Shirley''s place?
3796Is that Miranda? 3796 Is that you, Joe?
3796Is the British navy anchored in those three miles?
3796Is there any fear of it smothering?
3796Is there anything I can do to-- to help?
3796Is there laughter in your face yet, Rilla? 3796 Is this Armageddon?"
3796Is this Rilla- my- Rilla?
3796Is-- is Mrs. Anderson really dead?
3796It''s Ken-- isn''t it?
3796It''s so beautifully calm-- isn''t that splendid? 3796 It''s something of a fiddler''s invitation, is n''t it?"
3796It''s wonderful to be looking at something that happened three thousand years ago, is n''t it?
3796Jem and Walter and the girls away-- it makes a big blank, does n''t it? 3796 Kenneth,"she ventured timidly,"you do n''t think this war will matter much to us in Canada, do you?"
3796Know who''s speaking?
3796Lame? 3796 Matter?
3796May I have this to-- to lay him in?
3796Miss Oliver, what do you think about it?
3796Mrs. Dr. dear, what do you think? 3796 Mrs. Dr. dear, will you pick over the fruit and beat up the eggs?
3796Mrs. Dr. dear,whispered Susan solemnly,"what are cooties?"
3796Oh, Miss Oliver-- must we go for weeks and months-- not knowing whether Jem is alive or dead? 3796 Oh, Susan, will he really go?"
3796Oh, ca n''t he come, too?
3796Oh, do n''t you think those accounts we get of the conditions of the Belgians are very much exaggerated?
3796Oh, how can you believe that, Susan?
3796Oh, is there not? 3796 Oh, mother, how can you bear it?"
3796Oh, what is happening on the western front tonight as I write this, sitting here in my room with my journal before me? 3796 Oh, why ca n''t it, Jims?
3796Over there in France tonight-- does the line hold?
3796Rilla- my- Rilla, what are you thinking of?
3796Rilla- my- Rilla,said Ken,"will you promise that you wo n''t let anyone else kiss you until I come back?"
3796See here, Rilla, can you arrange that there wo n''t be more than a few dozen people round? 3796 Shall I make arrangements to have the baby sent to Hopetown?"
3796Susan, what does this mean?
3796Susan, what has happened?
3796Susan, what is it?
3796Susan, what must be done for a baby?
3796Susan, who told you this-- when did the news come?
3796Take me? 3796 That you, Rilla?"
3796The British navy would have to be licked for one; and for another, Miller here, now, and I, we''d raise a dust, would n''t we, Miller? 3796 This very evening as I put Jims to bed he looked up and asked me gravely,''Why ca n''t yesterday come back, Willa?''
3796Tired?
3796To whom-- or what?
3796Una, would you like to have this letter-- to keep?
3796Was n''t it dreadful, Miss Oliver? 3796 Was n''t it-- very sudden?"
3796Was that the reason you came out once with your hair shingled to the bone?
3796Was there ever a battle like this in the world before?
3796We could n''t let the''old grey mother of the northern sea''fight it out alone, could we? 3796 We-- we can keep it here for awhile-- can''t we-- until something can be arranged?"
3796Well, did we any of us ever think we''d live to see this day? 3796 Well, what else is fifteen for?
3796What are you crying for?
3796What are you going to do with it?
3796What does it matter if there''s going to be a war over there in Europe? 3796 What does it matter to us?"
3796What has happened?
3796What in the world is this?
3796What is going to become of the baby?
3796What is the trouble, Miranda?
3796What must I do with it tonight, Susan?
3796What upon airth has bruk loose in there?
3796What was it?
3796What was your dream?
3796What were the scraps of a few Homeric handfuls compared to this? 3796 What will those Huns do next?"
3796What would mother do? 3796 What would you like to do, laddie?"
3796When do you expect his father?
3796When-- do-- you-- go?
3796Where are the rest?
3796Who are you going to marry, Rilla?
3796Who in the world ever gave him that ridiculous nickname?
3796Who is the young man?
3796Why ai n''t the British navy doing more?
3796Why how do you do, Miss Blythe?
3796Why in the world do n''t you and Joe get married tomorrow afternoon at home?
3796Why, I could hardly help-- then-- could I?
3796Why, did n''t you know? 3796 Why, whatever''s wrong?"
3796Why? 3796 Why?"
3796Will it herald death or life to our cause?
3796Will not even this blot it off your face?
3796Will they reach it-- will not some mighty hand yet intervene?
3796Will you do as I tell you then?
3796Will you hand this to me after I get into the buggy, please?
3796Would I, Miss Oliver? 3796 Would I?"
3796Would you exchange them-- now-- for two years filled with fun?
3796Would you have him stay, Anne-- when the others are going-- when he thinks it his duty-- would you have him so selfish and small- souled?
3796Yes-- what? 3796 Yes?"
3796You do n''t expect me to ask her?
3796You know?
3796You would n''t have me a slacker, mother? 3796 You''ll be over often, wo n''t you?
3796''Are you sure?''
3796''Has he forgotten what day the first of April is?''
3796''How dare you come here and repeat such a thing about my brother, Irene Howard?''
3796''That-- my little Jem-- the baby of the old House of Dreams?''
3796''What does"anatomy"mean?''
3796''When will Jem come?''
3796''When will the British strike?''
37961st March 1918"''What will spring bring?''
3796A deep sound strikes like a rising knell"--why should she think of that now?
3796A war- wedding, Susan-- isn''t that thrilling and romantic?
3796After being fed for four years on horrors and fears, terrible reverses, amazing victories, wo n''t anything less be tame and uninteresting?
3796Ai n''t it an awful night?''
3796Aloud she gasped,"Is n''t this Theodore Brewster''s place?"
3796Am I dreaming-- or am I awake?
3796And Faith-- poor Faith-- how can she bear it?"
3796And He will, wo n''t He, mother?''
3796And Rilla, do n''t you think you could organize a Junior Red Cross among the young girls?
3796And anyway, what was I to do?
3796And can you tell me, Mrs. Dr. dear, if the Dobruja is a river or a mountain range, or a condition of the atmosphere?"
3796And do you know what will happen if she conquers?
3796And if it were, why was he howling like that?
3796And so why could n''t I thank Him?
3796And the mince- pie?
3796And the shortbread?
3796And why?
3796And will you do it?
3796And will you do my hair the new way?
3796Anne, dearie, will you ever forget the way they used to carry on?
3796Are Di and Nan going too?"
3796Are they really as bright and golden as ever, Rilla?
3796Are you going to keep this child?"
3796Are you hurt?"
3796Babies did have convulsions, did n''t they?
3796Besides, what business had he to call our cat a varmint?
3796But Susan and Gertrude and I say they must hold it, because Venice must be saved, so what are the military critics to do?
3796But Woodrow Wilson is going to write a note about it, so why worry?
3796But are you more afraid of your father''s anger than you are of Joe''s never coming back to you?"
3796But could n''t you have refused him a little more delicately than by chasing him off the premises in such a fashion?"
3796But did you ever see any child look as much like an aunt as he looks like his Aunt Ellen?
3796But have you any notion of going to college this fall?"
3796But have you seen Woodrow Wilson''s reply to the Pope''s peace proposals?
3796But it wo n''t really matter much to us, will it?
3796But we''ll forget all that and be chums again, wo n''t we?
3796But you are not going to walk to the harbour in those slippers, are you?"
3796By the way, Mrs. Dr. dear, have you noticed that that cat is far oftener Hyde than Jekyll now?
3796CHAPTER XX NORMAN DOUGLAS SPEAKS OUT IN MEETING"Where are you wandering, Anne o''mine?"
3796Can I come up to Ingleside tonight and see you?"
3796Could anything be more enchanting?"
3796Could n''t you have found a-- well, a less spectacular method of refusing him?
3796Could she do it?
3796Could she go out there and play for it?
3796Could she really ever have cried just because she had been forgotten and had to walk home with Mary Vance?
3796Dear, dear, was Irene at feud with everybody?
3796Did I ever say November was an ugly month?
3796Did I ever say there was n''t a hell?
3796Did anyone ever hear of such an outrage?"
3796Did he think she could continue to exist if she never got any sleep?
3796Did n''t I warn you that we could not tell what was before us?
3796Did you get that?
3796Did you know that we are all to walk down as far as that little creek below the old House of Dreams and then sail to the lighthouse?
3796Do n''t you think God ought to like him enough to let us have Jem?"
3796Do n''t you think it''s about time I joined up?"
3796Do n''t you think you could wear a shabby dress once for their sake, Irene?"
3796Do n''t you think, Mrs. Blythe, that would be the very worstest punishment of all?"
3796Do people ever get used to things like this, Susan?
3796Do you ever try anything for the freckles?
3796Do you know that Rick MacAllister has enlisted, Mrs. Dr. dear?
3796Do you know, Mrs. Blythe"--Bruce dropped to a"whispery"tone, edging a little nearer to Anne--"what I would like to do to the Kaiser if I could?"
3796Do you like my dress, Susan?"
3796Do you mean he is dead, Susan?"
3796Do you remember old Mrs. Tom Crawford over- harbour, who was always saying that it was''laid on her''to do such and such a thing?
3796Do you remember the day I spanked you?"
3796Do you remember, Miss Oliver?"
3796Do you suppose there is any hope of his staying dead this time?
3796Do you suppose there will ever again come a time when life will be free from fear?
3796Do you think I could go and have a girl under such circumstances?''
3796Do you think I had a good excuse, when a Hun and a pacifist made such an insulting remark to me?
3796Do you think it would be legal, doctor dear?"
3796Do you think that all those over- harbour MacAllisters and Crawfords and Elliotts could scare up a skin like Rilla''s in four generations?
3796Do you think there is any chance of our boys being home for it?"
3796Does he mean that he is going to enlist as a soldier?
3796Does that blessed boy realize what he is saying?
3796Does the Power that runs the universe think us of more importance than we think ants?"
3796Dog Monday old?
3796Dog Monday rheumatic?
3796Dog Monday stiff?
3796Everything seems to be changing all at once, does it not?
3796Gilbert, did I ever tell you of that time, years ago at Green Gables, when I dyed my hair?
3796Got any sulphur in the house, Susan?''
3796Had he died in torture?
3796Had he forgotten her completely?
3796Had he used"you"in the singular or plural sense?
3796Had n''t Susan any realization that she was addressing an officer of the Canadian Army?
3796Had she not always insisted that that cat would turn out to be a delusion and a snare?
3796Have a cheer?"
3796Have you had any good news about him?"
3796Have you not heard the story of Alistair MacCallum''s son Roderick, from the Upper Glen?
3796Have you noticed, Mrs. Dr. dear, that the Czar has changed that Prish name to Premysl, which proves that the man had good sense, Russian though he is?
3796Have you room there for this fruit- cake?
3796He will be back on leave before he goes overseas, will he not?"
3796Her evening was spoiled; she detested Susan, who had somehow hurt Walter; and Jem-- had Jem been gassed?
3796How am I to make a cake without butter or sugar?
3796How could I face the reality?
3796I am always putting my foot in it, are n''t I?
3796I ca n''t tell him about Ken-- because, after all, what is there to tell?
3796I have always understood that swearing was taking the name of the Almighty in vain?"
3796I''m right-- am I not, father?"
3796If he mourned for Walter like that, do you suppose he would sleep sound in his kennel the night after Jem had been killed?
3796In broken Serbia?
3796In the name of goodness, how many wrinkles and kinks did a baby have?
3796Irene Howard?
3796Is he having a fit?"
3796Is he your brother?"
3796Is it a pose?
3796Is it true-- is it official?
3796Is it, I wonder?
3796Is n''t it horrid when people think you''re a little girl when you''re not?"
3796Is that not a bright spot at least?"
3796Is the agony in which the world is shuddering the birth- pang of some wondrous new era?
3796Is there a-- a basket anywhere that I could put it in?"
3796It would have been very awkward for us both, do n''t you think?"
3796Jem-- who would have appreciated Mrs. Matilda Pitman keenly-- where was Jem?
3796Jims stood there, flushed from sleep, his big brown eyes filled with dread,"Oh Willa-- oh, Willa, is God dead?"
3796Jims, my little war- baby, whatever is going to become of you?"
3796Let me see-- would not Tod be some relation of yours?
3796Marjorie Drew?
3796Merciful goodness, Anne dearie, what is the matter with that cat?
3796Miss Oliver, shall I wear my white dress tonight or my new green one?
3796Mrs. Dr. dear, can you tell me if R- h- e- i- m- s is Rimes or Reems or Rames or Rems?"
3796Must I give you too, Shirley?"
3796No Germans need apply for this old country, eh?"
3796Now, did he leave that''s''off intentionally or was it only carelessness?
3796Of what use was it?
3796Oh, Miss Oliver, what would it be like not to wake up in the morning feeling afraid of the news the day would bring?
3796Oh, nineteen- seventeen, what will you bring?"
3796Oh, was she dreaming?
3796Oh, what can I do?"
3796Oh, what would Ken think?
3796Oh, why could n''t Jims stop howling for just one little minute?
3796Oh, why could n''t she think of something else to say?
3796Oh, why did dreadful things like this happen, just when a girl wanted to appear at her best?
3796Oh, why did n''t they look for me?"
3796Oh, why had Irene told her just then, when telling could do no good?
3796Oh, why had n''t Jack Elliott kept his horrid news to himself?
3796Oh, why had she forgotten to ask Susan what she must do if the baby had convulsions?
3796On shell- swept Gallipoli?
3796Or a fixed idea?"
3796Or is it merely a futile struggle of ants In the gleam of a million million of suns?
3796Or, worst of all, what if Fred Arnold dropped in?
3796Presently she would wring Jims''neck-- oh, what was Ken saying?
3796Rilla, daughter of Anne, what are you going to call your war- baby?"
3796Rilla, you beautiful little thing, are you anybody''s sweetheart?
3796Rilla- my- Rilla, do you know what you have been to me the past year?
3796Say, I''ve got on some in society, have n''t I, considering what I come from?
3796She could see the boats below-- where was Jem''s-- where was Joe''s?
3796She exclaimed, with the queerest little catch in her voice,''Rilla, are you engaged to Kenneth Ford?''
3796She laid down her knitting for a moment and said,"Oh, how can we bear it so long?"
3796She listened to my tale with an expression that clearly said,''Can it be possible that anyone has been wanting to marry this baby?''
3796She looked mournfully upon Rilla Blythe and said sadly,"Is your hair all your own?"
3796She reflected rather bitterly that father was very considerate of mother''s and Susan''s health, but what about hers?
3796She sighed for the third time and groaned out,''But the Russians are retreating fast,''and I said,''Well, what of it?
3796Should she wear crab- apple blossoms in it, or her little fillet of pearls?
3796Sir Wilfrid remarked condescendingly:"Why do you haunt this old shed when you might lie on the hearthrug at Ingleside and live on the fat of the land?
3796Some hero, was n''t he, Faith?
3796Sort of a shame, eh?"
3796Speaking of meanings, have you heard the latest story about Whiskers- on- the- moon, Mrs. Dr. dear?
3796Suppose England does fight?"
3796Susan said''Thank God,''firstly, and secondly she said''Did I not tell you Dog Monday knew?''
3796The British have lost millions of men at the Somme and how far have they got?
3796The Fords did n''t come?"
3796The Germans had the big guns at the Marne, had they not?
3796The idea of him doing that when we are at war with Turkey?
3796The last time she put him out of it he turned around and asked solemnly,''When you are dead, Susan, can I sit in that chair?''
3796The spring does not fail because of the million agonies of others-- but for mine-- oh, can the universe go on?''
3796There were gardens over here-- beautiful gardens with the beauty of centuries-- and what are they now?
3796They have plenty of room for retreating, have they not?''
3796Una is really a little brick, is n''t she?
3796Understand?
3796Was all the child''s girlhood to be so clouded?
3796Was it Dog Monday?
3796Was it a coward''s part to run away like this?
3796Was it cowardly?
3796Was it not the spirit that counted?
3796Was it really she, Rilla Blythe, who had got into this absurd predicament?
3796Was life like this-- something delightful happening and then, just as you were revelling in it, slipping away from you?
3796Was n''t Jem the dearest baby in the old House of Dreams?
3796Was n''t he normal?
3796Was she now, with equal suddenness, going to produce a husband?
3796Was she-- could she be-- the same Rilla Blythe who had danced at Four Winds Light six days ago-- only six days ago?
3796Was this she, Rilla Blythe-- this tortured thing, who had been quite happy a few minutes ago?
3796We were very happy before the war, were n''t we?
3796Were his little legs good for it?
3796Were there any more disgraceful scenes in her past that Susan could rake up?
3796Were these the people who, three weeks ago, were talking of crops and prices and local gossip?
3796What business had an old-- an old beanpole like that to talk of anybody else being long and thin?
3796What did it see on the Western front?
3796What had an honest, hard- working, Presbyterian old maid of Glen St. Mary to do with a war thousands of miles away?
3796What happened to him?"
3796What has happened to him?"
3796What have you found of much interest, Susan?"
3796What if some officious Junior Red called to discuss Belgians and shirts?
3796What in the world was to be done?
3796What news did Jack Elliott bring?
3796What on earth had Ethel to cry about?
3796What say, dad?"
3796What was he saying?
3796What was that horrid old Mrs. Drew saying to mother, in that melancholy whine of hers?
3796What was to be done?
3796What will nineteen- fifteen bring?"
3796What would Jem think if he knew?
3796What would Mrs. Elliott say to that if she knew?"
3796What would he think of her?
3796What would they think of her if she shirked her little duty here-- the humble duty of carrying the programme through for her Red Cross?
3796What?
3796When will the others come?
3796Where was Susan?
3796Where were her scarf and coat?
3796Where were you?"
3796Where would Ken be tonight?
3796Where would it end?
3796Who are you and what business have you here?"
3796Who is this Archduke man who has been murdered?"
3796Who knew but that it might be Shirley away up there in the clouds, flying over to the Island from Kingsport?
3796Who knew what price had been paid?
3796Who knows?
3796Who said that spring was the joy of the year?
3796Who was it?
3796Who was right about the Kaiser, John?
3796Who would be president?
3796Whose dirge was he howling-- to whose spirit was he sending that anguished greeting and farewell?
3796Why could n''t she cry, as she had cried when Jem told them he must go?
3796Why could n''t they have called her by her first name, Bertha, which was beautiful and dignified, instead of that silly"Rilla"?
3796Why did he just stand there, glowering importantly?
3796Why did n''t Jack Elliott speak-- if he had anything to tell?
3796Why did n''t somebody come in and choke him?
3796Why do you always look on the dark side, Sophia Crawford?"
3796Why had n''t he?
3796Why should n''t things be the same again-- when everything is over and Jem and Jerry are back?
3796Why will you be so slippery?
3796Why, for mercy''s sake, did boys try to dance who did n''t know the first thing about dancing; and who had feet as big as boats?
3796Why, in this world of springtime loveliness, must hearts break?
3796Will the Allies never strike?"
