58304 | No bad news, I hope, madam? |
58304 | Not back yet, Martha? |
58304 | Not by him? 58304 Now what did it contain? |
58304 | Perhaps you are a patient of his? |
58304 | Probably you wonder what a woman can want of a secretary? |
58304 | Professional then? |
58304 | Retire? |
58304 | Robert, what do you think of this? |
58304 | Robert, what do you think? |
58304 | Robert, what is the last stub number in my book? |
58304 | Robert, what would you advise me to do? |
58304 | Say, Yankee, how do you like that? |
58304 | Say, do you know what? 58304 Shall I begin my duties now?" |
58304 | Shall I go after my valise? |
58304 | Shall I go along? |
58304 | Shall I have dinner served? |
58304 | Shall I put the constable on his track? |
58304 | So he will go to my aunt, eh? 58304 So that you can rob me again, eh? |
58304 | So you got him out, eh? |
58304 | So you know she is having a hard time? |
58304 | So you were struck down? |
58304 | Suppose she has gone to California? |
58304 | Surely you do n''t approve of employing a thief? |
58304 | Tell me, did that report come from that fool of a nephew of hers? |
58304 | That is positive? |
58304 | That it was rather unusual for me to put out a check of that size? |
58304 | That she had no idea of going to California, even at first? |
58304 | Then perhaps,said the floor- walker sarcastically,"you can tell who is?" |
58304 | Then this is the young gentleman for whom you have established a credit with us? |
58304 | Then where shall I go? |
58304 | Then why do you send me away? |
58304 | Then why not get a ladder and put it up to the window? |
58304 | Then you can not possibly let me have more money? |
58304 | Then you do not advise me to go back? |
58304 | Then you need employment? |
58304 | Then you refuse to tell me? |
58304 | Then, aunt, how do you account for the ring being found in the room of your secretary? |
58304 | There, what do you think of that? |
58304 | They have left Mr. Amberton in sole possession of the lands? |
58304 | Three weeks hence? |
58304 | Well, Mr. Vernon, what can I do for you? |
58304 | Well, Robert, what do you think of Frederic''s letter? |
58304 | Well, why did n''t you come and pull me out? |
58304 | Well-- er-- what do you want? |
58304 | Well? |
58304 | Well? |
58304 | Were you ever inside of the place? |
58304 | Wh-- what did yo-- you do that for? |
58304 | Wha-- what is the meaning of this? |
58304 | What am I to go at? |
58304 | What are you doing among Jack Salter''s boats? |
58304 | What brings you here? 58304 What can we do?" |
58304 | What did he say? |
58304 | What do you advise me to do? |
58304 | What do you advise, Robert? |
58304 | What do you intend to do with your money? |
58304 | What do you know of the check? |
58304 | What do you make of it, Remington? |
58304 | What do you make of this? |
58304 | What do you mean by that? |
58304 | What do you mean by that? |
58304 | What do you mean by treating me like that? |
58304 | What do you mean? |
58304 | What do you mean? |
58304 | What do you mean? |
58304 | What do you say? |
58304 | What do you think of it, doctor? |
58304 | What do you think of this? |
58304 | What do you think of this? |
58304 | What do you want, then? |
58304 | What do you want? |
58304 | What for? |
58304 | What have I done to deserve such liberality? |
58304 | What is for the best? |
58304 | What is he up to now? |
58304 | What is it, Robert? |
58304 | What is it? |
58304 | What is she doing up there? |
58304 | What is that? |
58304 | What is the matter, aunt? |
58304 | What is this? |
58304 | What is wanted? |
58304 | What is your business? |
58304 | What makes you think it might come from him? |
58304 | What makes you think that? |
58304 | What report? |
58304 | What risk will you run if you have your certificate? |
58304 | What time was this? |
58304 | What was the reason? |
58304 | What were the peculiar circumstances? |
58304 | What will you do, remain here until I get back? |
58304 | What''s wanted? |
58304 | What, Frederic Vernon? |
58304 | What, Frederic? 58304 What, lad, wo n''t have a bit of ale with your eating?" |
58304 | What, then? |
58304 | What-- er-- what about? |
58304 | What? |
58304 | Whe-- where is he? |
58304 | When did Mrs. Vernon start? |
58304 | When did you come over? |
58304 | When did you get back to Chicago? |
58304 | When do you wish me to find a new home, aunt? |
58304 | When does your next allowance come due? |
58304 | Where are you going to drive? |
58304 | Where did she meet this boy? |
58304 | Where did you get it? |
58304 | Where do you think I could raise five hundred dollars? |
58304 | Where does he live, with his aunt? |
58304 | Where has she gone? |
58304 | Where shall I send these articles? |
58304 | Where was he going? |
58304 | Where? |
58304 | Who are you, sir, that try to screen the boy at the expense of an innocent man? |
58304 | Who is he? 58304 Who is he?" |
58304 | Who is there? |
58304 | Who told you that? |
58304 | Who told you that? |
58304 | Whom did you whip? |
58304 | Why ca n''t you swim, Bob? |
58304 | Why did you come into the store-- except to steal? |
58304 | Why do n''t you know? |
58304 | Why do you ask? |
58304 | Why not-- if you are honest in your actions toward me? |
58304 | Why not? 58304 Why not?" |
58304 | Why, Frost, what brings you here this time of night? |
58304 | Why, Robert, what has happened? |
58304 | Why, what does this mean? |
58304 | Will you be present at the trial? |
58304 | Will you forgive the past? |
58304 | Will you go along to the shops? |
58304 | Will you send Robert or Mr. Farley to me? |
58304 | Will you take charge of her affairs at once? |
58304 | Will you tell him that Robert Frost is here and wishes to see him on important business? |
58304 | Will you write me when you hear from her? |
58304 | Wo n''t I? 58304 Wo n''t you help me out, aunt?" |
58304 | Wo n''t you lend me the money? |
58304 | Would Frederic Vernon dare to do anything? |
58304 | Yes, but my banker disappointed me, and----"Then you can not pay? |
58304 | Yes? |
58304 | You are certain you can control them? |
58304 | You are not hurt, are you? |
58304 | You are not well? |
58304 | You are quite sure of what you have told me? |
58304 | You are sure this change will not alter your feeling toward me? |
58304 | You caught Frederic Vernon up on the cliff road? |
58304 | You do n''t mean it? |
58304 | You do n''t mean to say you have got a place? |
58304 | You do not like England then? |
58304 | You imagine it was Frederic? |
58304 | You mean that check? |
58304 | You never drew a check and forgot to charge it up against the account, did you? |
58304 | You say Mrs. Vernon is worth at least quarter of a million? |
58304 | You think he was a physician? |
58304 | You think you are mighty smart, do n''t you? |
58304 | You were charged with stealing a wallet? |
58304 | You wish to set yourself straight? |
58304 | You wo n''t give me that combination? |
58304 | You wo n''t make it two thousand? |
58304 | You-- you cast me out? |
58304 | Are n''t all the stubs filled-- I mean those from which the checks have been detached?" |
58304 | Are you going back home?" |
58304 | Are you good at figures?" |
58304 | Are you in a store?" |
58304 | Barlow''s?" |
58304 | But what do you ask all these questions for?" |
58304 | By the way, how are you provided with money now?" |
58304 | By the way, what is your name?" |
58304 | Can you walk that far with me?" |
58304 | Can you write a good hand? |
58304 | Did they abduct her?" |
58304 | Did you have a nice trip?" |
58304 | Do you know that I could have you arrested for what you have done?" |
58304 | Do you know what I think that lady ought to do?" |
58304 | Do you know where he is?" |
58304 | Do you suppose he did it just to get out of driving me?" |
58304 | Do you think Mrs. Vernon got any inkling of your scheme to have her adjudged insane?" |
58304 | Do you want to see him?" |
58304 | Do you wish me to initiate my successor in the duties of his position?" |
58304 | Does he say so?" |
58304 | Farley, do you know what I think of doing?" |
58304 | For whom are you working? |
58304 | Frost? |
58304 | Frost?" |
58304 | Gray?" |
58304 | Has my aunt changed her will lately?" |
58304 | Has my aunt got wind of that forged check already? |
58304 | Have you any special business with me?" |
58304 | Have you any special business with your aunt? |
58304 | He has probably found out that you have not yet altered it, and----""Well?" |
58304 | How did such a silly rumor ever reach her ears?" |
58304 | How do you like things over here?" |
58304 | How has it been with you?" |
58304 | How long since did you lay aside short pants?" |
58304 | How old are you?" |
58304 | How was she dressed?" |
58304 | How would you like to go to Paris?" |
58304 | I believe you said you understood bookkeeping?" |
58304 | I hope you are doing well?" |
58304 | I invited him to come back home, and what do you think he said?" |
58304 | I suppose you have some money saved up?" |
58304 | I-- er-- that is, how are you fixed?" |
58304 | If I go back, what do you suppose he will do?" |
58304 | Is anybody around, or have they all gone to bed?" |
58304 | Is he competent to serve you in that capacity?" |
58304 | Is he going to remain in New York?" |
58304 | Is my mother well?" |
58304 | Is that correct?" |
58304 | Is the pay good?" |
58304 | Leave this house?" |
58304 | My dear, you will lend me that amount, wo n''t you? |

20628 | ''Specially when you''ve got one particular young gent coming to watch regular, eh? |
20628 | A week Wednesday, eh? |
20628 | A woman; Vincent? |
20628 | About Lucy Lee? |
20628 | Ai n''t it? |
20628 | Ai n''t lost your baggage checks, have you? |
20628 | Ai n''t that enough? |
20628 | Ai n''t there anybody she could marry? |
20628 | Ai n''t you gettin''in kind of deep? |
20628 | And I expect he was willin''to call it a night after that, eh? |
20628 | And I suppose you think I would n''t be missed from the Corrugated Trust, either? |
20628 | And Stub is a brother or something? |
20628 | And a jack- pot session with the old crowd every evening? |
20628 | And ai n''t it awful about Penrhyn Deems? |
20628 | And ai n''t you been mopin''around? |
20628 | And does n''t everything look so calm and peaceful out here? |
20628 | And is n''t that something like the ring you''re coverin''up there under your shirt bosom? 20628 And never know what is going on?" |
20628 | And she''s still on deck? |
20628 | And suppose I can? |
20628 | And you''re just sitting back wondering what has become of him,demands Mr. Robert,"without making an effort to trace him?" |
20628 | And you''re willing to try? |
20628 | And you-- you like teaching, do you? |
20628 | And your daughter, where is she? |
20628 | Any tire tape? |
20628 | Anybody out looking for him? |
20628 | Anything about Peyton? |
20628 | Anyway,says I,"it ends''Puffy''Biggies as an impendin''tragedy, do n''t it? |
20628 | Anyway,suggests Mr. Ellins,"he has made you think that the thing is impossible, eh?" |
20628 | Are n''t they just too cute for anything? |
20628 | Are they? 20628 Are you kidding?" |
20628 | Are you one of the new squad? |
20628 | Are you sure? |
20628 | Are you, though? |
20628 | As bad as that, eh? |
20628 | As bad as that, was he? |
20628 | Aw, you mean the party with the wild eyes, eh? |
20628 | Babe? |
20628 | Beatin''the office manager to it? |
20628 | Blonde or brunette? |
20628 | Break it to Biggles? 20628 But I thought he was over with Pershing?" |
20628 | But I thought you said,puts in Vee,"that he was-- er-- case hardened?" |
20628 | But do you think I could do it? |
20628 | But during all that time did n''t she say anything about herself, or give you any hint? |
20628 | But how can you tell he ai n''t wild? 20628 But how did that happen? |
20628 | But how do you happen to be sizin''up a show window like this? |
20628 | But how much have you got on Brother Jake? 20628 But if I could, sir,"goes on Miss Casey,"would-- would you help out a little? |
20628 | But if he is Señor Jones-- who knows? |
20628 | But look here,says I,"you-- you would n''t let him go on with this, would you?" |
20628 | But nexsh time----"Say,I breaks in,"if you do n''t know what her name is, or where she lives, how do you figure on a next time?" |
20628 | But perhaps you know what to do to stop nose bleeding? |
20628 | But she is cute, is n''t she? 20628 But she''s no perambulatin''rotisserie, is she?" |
20628 | But the various kinds of poultry you were going in for? 20628 But was n''t it odd,"goes on Vee,"about her meeting the very man she''d liked from the first?" |
20628 | But what on earth is a block party, Torchy? |
20628 | But what was it all about, eh? |
20628 | But what''s the plot of the piece? 20628 But where could he have taken him?" |
20628 | But where did the party take place? |
20628 | But where is he? |
20628 | But where''s this joint they want to meet you at? 20628 But who knows what we''ll do next in the nourishment producin''line? |
20628 | But who the blazes is she? |
20628 | But who''ll I get? |
20628 | But why ask me? 20628 But you do n''t mean to say this is your first venture at turkey raising?" |
20628 | But you do n''t think he would go so far as to kidnap Penrhyn, do you? |
20628 | But you men are all alike, are n''t you? |
20628 | But-- but see here, boss,sputters Mike,"''tis a private contract they''re workin''on and I could n''t be after----""Could n''t, eh?" |
20628 | But-- but what happened to them? |
20628 | But-- but what''s to be done? |
20628 | But-- but why? |
20628 | But-- but you do n''t mean that all of those trunks are hers? |
20628 | By the way, how is he these days? |
20628 | Ca n''t you guess? |
20628 | Ca n''t you? |
20628 | Can you beat that for the genuine mother stuff? |
20628 | Can you find him? |
20628 | Candidate, what have you to say for yourself? |
20628 | Carries all her own scenery, do n''t she? 20628 Champagne, eh?" |
20628 | Could I have a few words with her? |
20628 | Could n''t get the Red Cross ladies to knit sweaters for''em, could we? |
20628 | Could n''t he rent an outfit, or borrow one? |
20628 | Cute little thing, ai n''t she? |
20628 | Dear little fellow, is n''t he? |
20628 | Did he get away with it? |
20628 | Did it give him a jolt, or what? |
20628 | Did n''t I catch you snifflin''? |
20628 | Did n''t I sleep last night in a wheelbarrow? |
20628 | Did n''t ask him if he had a receipt, I suppose? 20628 Did n''t, eh?" |
20628 | Do I put in steam heat for''em? |
20628 | Do n''t seem to be usin''it much, does he? |
20628 | Do n''t you see? |
20628 | Do-- do you think she means me? |
20628 | Dressed as a fool, is n''t he? |
20628 | Durin''the course of a little dinner, eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |

20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Ellery, what you doing with that knife? 20628 Ellery?" |
20628 | Entertainin''young party, eh? |
20628 | Even so,says I,"it was sweet of him to throw it at you, was n''t it?" |
20628 | Except for that everything is all clear, eh? 20628 Excuse me,"says he,"but have n''t we met somewhere before?" |
20628 | First off, how have you been spending your honeymoon? |
20628 | For a simple little thing like that? 20628 For me?" |
20628 | For such a little thing as that? 20628 From Atlanta?" |
20628 | From Headquarters? |
20628 | From one of these little straight- through- on- Main- street burgs, I suppose? |
20628 | Funny, is n''t it, son,says he,"that I should still be called Dear Old Pal by the most fascinating woman in the world?" |
20628 | Gettin''off the track, was n''t I? 20628 Giving up so soon?" |
20628 | Go to the movies much down in Shelby? |
20628 | Going to spring it on her tonight, eh? |
20628 | Got anybody with you, Lem? |
20628 | Got everyone stirred up, I suppose? 20628 Got somebody back home that you might take a few samples to?" |
20628 | Got what, Penny? |
20628 | Got your dinner coat in there? |
20628 | Had anyone on the inside? |
20628 | Has he? |
20628 | Have I been feedin''it at you too speedy? |
20628 | Have you doped out an explosive pretzel, or are you goin''to turn milliner and release some woman for war work? |
20628 | He''s a golf shark, is he? |
20628 | He-- he''s out of the service now, is he? |
20628 | He-- he''s such a----"A sticker, eh? 20628 Hearest thou, Adelbaran? |
20628 | Heem? |
20628 | Hey, whaddye mean, pullin''that hick stuff? |
20628 | Honest now,I''ll ask him,"which one of them Lizzie Mauds are you playin''as favorite these days, Ernie?" |
20628 | How about a nice quiet dinner at the club? |
20628 | How about runnin''up to Montreal and droppin''down? |
20628 | How about swinging around the country club and back through the middle road? 20628 How about that?" |
20628 | How about them swell dames that used to go wild over you? |
20628 | How could you tell her such whoppers? |
20628 | How do you know? |
20628 | How does it happen that he''s escaped the hymeneal noose so long? |
20628 | How often have I said, Ann, that I miss you every hour? |
20628 | How? 20628 How?" |
20628 | I beg pardon? |
20628 | I beg pardon? |
20628 | I do n''t suppose I could guess who, could I? |
20628 | I do n''t suppose you carry such a thing as an emergency can of gasoline anywhere in the car? |
20628 | I expect that was the lovely lady who carted you off in the taxi? |
20628 | I expect we''ll have to go; eh, Vee? |
20628 | I expect, though, you''d like to have me class you among the great unkissed? |
20628 | I gather that he did n''t insist on your staying? |
20628 | I hope they do n''t call you Reddy, though? |
20628 | I say, Ellins, what are you getting at? 20628 I say, lieutenant,"he remarks confidential this last trip,"we put something over, did n''t we?" |
20628 | I say,he says,"did n''t Bob come out, too?" |
20628 | I say,whispers Mr. Robert,"had n''t we better call it off?" |
20628 | I suppose you are working somewhere? |
20628 | I take it,says I,"that you did meet dear old daddy?" |
20628 | I trust Monsieur approves? |
20628 | I''d look nice, would n''t I? |
20628 | I''m so sorry,says she,"but could n''t we finish this tomorrow morning?" |
20628 | I-- I beg pardon? |
20628 | If he was n''t why would he be so wise as to whose pole it was, or about Otto''s handwritin''? |
20628 | If you''re that way now what''ll you be when you''re married? |
20628 | In a fool''s costume? 20628 In among all them young lady models?" |
20628 | In other words, meaning what? |
20628 | In where? |
20628 | Includin''near- vamps? |
20628 | Is M''sieur certain? |
20628 | Is he her best bet? 20628 Is it a new hair tonic, or what?" |
20628 | Is it little brother? |
20628 | Is it, then? |
20628 | Is it? |
20628 | Is n''t it a perfectly gorgeous night, Torchy? |
20628 | Is n''t that a shame, Torchy? 20628 Is n''t that fortunate?" |
20628 | Is n''t this your hat? |
20628 | Is that why you''ve taken to cradle snatchin''? |
20628 | Is that your little Miss Joyce? |
20628 | Is-- is that all? |
20628 | It ai n''t a crime, is it, a little game? |
20628 | It is, eh? 20628 Joe,"I demands,"what you been feedin''them turks?" |
20628 | Just jot that down, will you? |
20628 | Just like that, eh? |
20628 | Just where do you come from? |
20628 | Know any of''em? |
20628 | Know what I tell him? 20628 Let''s see, Vincent,"says I,"you''re all of nineteen, ai n''t you?" |
20628 | Listens that way, does n''t it? |
20628 | Lively young party, eh? |
20628 | Looks kind of swell in the uniform, do n''t he? |
20628 | Looks so, do n''t it? |
20628 | Mame? |
20628 | Marion hangs out a table- board sign? |
20628 | May I call you that, too? 20628 May I take my little barber pole?" |
20628 | Maybe you can show the sergeant yet? 20628 Me?" |
20628 | Me? |
20628 | Me? |
20628 | Me? |
20628 | Me? |
20628 | Me? |
20628 | Meanin'', I expect,says I,"that Miss Stribble and you have been gettin''on?" |
20628 | Mine? |
20628 | Miss Joyce? |
20628 | Miss Joyce? |
20628 | Mother taking it hard, is she? |
20628 | Must have been some lady killer in his time, eh? |
20628 | Must have been some party? |
20628 | My picture? 20628 Not 217 from this one block?" |
20628 | Not that old prune face with the shiny dome and the baggy eyes? |
20628 | Not-- not a-- a Miss Vaughn? |
20628 | Now for a king killing, eh? |
20628 | Now what, lieutenant? |
20628 | Now, let''s see,says I, registerin''deep thought,"if Penrhyn was to go anywhere on his own hook, where would it be? |
20628 | Nursin''it along, eh? |
20628 | Oh, by the way,says he,"how are the turkeys this morning? |
20628 | Oh, do you? |
20628 | Oh, has it? |
20628 | Oh, is he? |
20628 | Oh, they''ve been roastin''me, have they? |
20628 | Oh, you are, eh? |
20628 | Oh, you mentioned it to Louise, did you? |
20628 | On how many cylinders? |
20628 | Or do you want to get me biting my upper lip? 20628 Our gallant young office lieutenant, eh? |
20628 | Papers? |
20628 | Really, now? |
20628 | Really? |
20628 | Reg''lar thrill hound, was n''t he? 20628 Right away?" |
20628 | Say, Torchy,says he husky,"did-- did you see her?" |
20628 | Say, folks,I calls out,"where''s the gas tank on this chariot?" |
20628 | Say, that''s handin''you something, eh? 20628 Say, what do you sports think you''re doin'', anyway?" |
20628 | Say, you just come out and---- Well, Leon, anything you want special? |
20628 | Say, you''re some grand little sleuth yourself, ai n''t you? |
20628 | Say,says I,"you do n''t happen to be Bonnie Sutton, do you?" |
20628 | See here, Jonesey; you do n''t mean to say you''ve got the ring too? |
20628 | See those spools over there that you people have done your best to bury? 20628 Seeing things in the moonlight?" |
20628 | Seen it yourself? |
20628 | She ai n''t bumped somebody with the truck, has she? |
20628 | She-- she has n''t left home, has she? |
20628 | Should I? |
20628 | So that is an example of modern dancing, is it? |
20628 | So that was the plot, was it, Ellery? |
20628 | So that was your system in having your friend arrested? 20628 So that''s why you''re dolled up in the Sunday uniform, eh? |
20628 | Still chattering, are you? 20628 Still goin''on, eh? |
20628 | Still,says I,"the kiss stringency in your young career has been lifted, has n''t it? |
20628 | Street dress? |
20628 | Stribble? |
20628 | Suppose I have? |
20628 | Suppose I make a slip, though? |
20628 | Suppose anybody around the club could dig up a screwdriver for you? |
20628 | Suppose by some miracle you did, Lester? |
20628 | Suppose he should turn up tomorrow, though? |
20628 | Tell me, Ernie,says I,"how long has this been going on?" |
20628 | Tell me, Torchy,says she,"did you ever see anyone as-- as huge as I am at a tea dance? |
20628 | Tell me, what''s his line? |
20628 | Tell me,says she,"is that supposed to be music?" |
20628 | Tell me,she demands whispery,"was-- was he at it again?" |
20628 | Tell me,she demands,"is this the street dress which you observed in the window?" |
20628 | That made it very nice, then, did n''t it? |
20628 | That one of your favorite names, too? |
20628 | That''s too bad, ai n''t it? 20628 The Morgan people sent for you, did they?" |
20628 | The big husk with the bushy black eyebrows? |
20628 | The gas tank? 20628 The little lady at home, eh?" |
20628 | The old maid with the patient eyes and the sad smile? |
20628 | The one I rescued the wire spools for? 20628 The pole?" |
20628 | The ring? |
20628 | Then he went away before my note came? |
20628 | Then he went in evening clothes? |
20628 | Then it was a reg''lar party? 20628 Then perhaps----""But what could she have been doing, posin''in the window?" |
20628 | Then suppose we hop off with dinner on the Plutoria roof? |
20628 | Then you think you know who she is? |
20628 | Then you''ve picked out the lucky chap? |
20628 | Then,says I,"do I get a recommend for active duty within jabbin''distance of the Huns?" |
20628 | Then-- then the news is out, is it? 20628 They do n''t care how they mess up the map these days, do they? |
20628 | Think I''m no judge, eh? 20628 Think so?" |
20628 | Think you could stand another manicure today? |
20628 | Thinkin''of havin''yourself mugged and sendin''the result to somebody in a silver frame? |
20628 | Thirty- six holes a day, eh? |
20628 | This dinner is on the house, you know, so why not make it a reg''lar one? 20628 Torchy, is n''t it? |
20628 | Torchy, you can hang on the back, ca n''t you? |
20628 | Want to relieve your poor old mother and Betty, eh? |
20628 | Wants an active command, does he? 20628 Was it?" |
20628 | Was-- was it something I did? |
20628 | We''ve canned the Kaiser, ai n''t we? 20628 We-- we are interrupting a family council or something, are n''t we?" |
20628 | Well, Joe,says I,"anything wrong with the flock?" |
20628 | Well, right worthy Buddies,says he,"what have you to report concerning the candidate?" |
20628 | Well, what can we do? |
20628 | Well, what is it this time, Barry? |
20628 | Well, why not? |
20628 | Well,said I,"did you back out after lookin''''em over?" |
20628 | Well,says I,"what then?" |
20628 | Well? |
20628 | Were you not known as Señor El Capitan? |
20628 | Wha''--wha''makes you think sho-- party? |
20628 | Wha- a- a- at? |
20628 | Wha- a- at? |
20628 | Whaddye mean, vanished? |
20628 | What about him? |
20628 | What about the Snell part? |
20628 | What about the butler, though, and the others? |
20628 | What did he mean by-- er-- bomb- proofer? |
20628 | What do I care who her father is? |
20628 | What do I care? 20628 What do you know?" |
20628 | What do you mean, sports? |
20628 | What do you want with that? |
20628 | What foolishness now, you young rough necker? |
20628 | What friend? |
20628 | What is it, a holdup act? |
20628 | What next, sir? |
20628 | What sort of a looker? |
20628 | What then? 20628 What was all the chat about?" |
20628 | What was it you said she used to be called, Torchy? |
20628 | What was the big idea, though? |
20628 | What would be the openin''lines for that scene? 20628 What''s all that red flannel stuff on their necks?" |
20628 | What''s all this mean, old son? 20628 What''s gone wrong now?" |
20628 | What''s that? |
20628 | What''s the grand little idea? |
20628 | What''s the idea, Piddie? |
20628 | What''s the matter? |
20628 | What''s the next move? |
20628 | What''s the scheme, Lester? |
20628 | What''s your name, my man? |
20628 | What, now? |
20628 | What? |
20628 | When can you start, lieutenant? |
20628 | When was that? 20628 Where do I find you when I want to turn in a report, blank or otherwise?" |
20628 | Where do you get a license to crash in? |
20628 | Where is the youngster? |
20628 | Where would he? 20628 Where''ll you have''em put, sir?" |
20628 | Where? |
20628 | Where? |
20628 | Which Marion? |
20628 | Which one? |
20628 | Whither away, Peyton? |
20628 | Who and where? |
20628 | Who do you mean, now? |
20628 | Who was feedin''you that? |
20628 | Who would n''t? |
20628 | Who''s movin''in? |
20628 | Who''s that? |
20628 | Who''s the little queen that all this is done for? |
20628 | Who''s your friend with the golden tresses? |
20628 | Who, Whitey? |
20628 | Who? |
20628 | Why act so tickled over it? |
20628 | Why be unreasonable about this? 20628 Why ca n''t all girls do that?" |
20628 | Why could n''t we go in by the back? |
20628 | Why do I get one of your awkward squad who''ll probably spell''such''with a t in it and punctuate by the hit- or- miss method? |
20628 | Why not at the Follies, then? |
20628 | Why not, I''d like to know? |
20628 | Why, what do you mean? |
20628 | Why, when you took my old place on the gate you was still wearin''knickers, was n''t you? 20628 Why,"says I,"if I find anyone it fits it''s likely to be Jake, ai n''t it?" |
20628 | Why? |
20628 | Will the Cafà © l''Europe do? |
20628 | Will you, Myers? |
20628 | Will you, young man? |
20628 | With Lester, eh? |
20628 | With a few late parties down in the grill? |
20628 | With a nursery and all? |
20628 | With the kitchen range loaded on a truck and Martha passin''out soup and roasts over the tailboard, eh? |
20628 | Would he go bareheaded, and without his indigestion tablets? |
20628 | Would n''t that be rather hard on us? |
20628 | Would this help your memory any? |
20628 | Would-- would you risk another ride with me, Ann? 20628 Yes,"says I,"do look sort of familiar, do n''t they?" |
20628 | Yes- s- s, sir? |
20628 | Yes? |
20628 | Yohness? |
20628 | You ai n''t been plungin''on a curb tip, have you? |
20628 | You ai n''t strong for kids? |
20628 | You did n''t think I could, did you, Torchy? |
20628 | You do n''t happen to be a doctor, do you? |
20628 | You do n''t have no luck with Mirabelle, eh? |
20628 | You do n''t mean to say, Penny,says Mr. Robert,"that you were kidnapped and brought here a prisoner?" |
20628 | You do n''t mean, Lucy Lee,says Vee,"that these are all-- er-- on the active list?" |
20628 | You do n''t say? |
20628 | You have the plans and specifications all framed up and think you''d know her on sight, eh? |
20628 | You heard, did n''t you? |
20628 | You jennie what? |
20628 | You know the feller who was in with me here-- Chuck Dempsey? |
20628 | You know who she is-- Mrs. Andres Zosco? |
20628 | You mean that people would talk? |
20628 | You took notice of him, though, did you? |
20628 | You were, eh? |
20628 | You were? |
20628 | You would n''t break in on a fond clinch, would you? |
20628 | You would n''t want to make it a threesome, eh? |
20628 | You''re fond of youngsters, I suppose? |
20628 | You''re sure this is Dorr''s Crossin'', eh? |
20628 | You''ve been seein''things, ai n''t you? 20628 You-- you have?" |
20628 | You-- you think I-- I''ve been drinkin''? |
20628 | ''Ca n''t you see, daddy?'' |
20628 | ''Civilian dress, please''?" |
20628 | ''Ernie who?'' |
20628 | ''Guesh?'' |
20628 | ''Lash time it was Harold, was n''t it?'' |
20628 | A few radishes and spindly lettuce, I suppose?" |
20628 | A lighthouse would be a swell place to stow away a leading librettist dressed up in a fool''s costume, would n''t it? |
20628 | After a minute or so of this he remarks, sort of to himself:"Bonnie, eh? |
20628 | Ah, there''s Joe, down at the end, and when he-- Eh? |
20628 | Ai n''t I runnin''a chance as it is, swipin''this out of the ice- box after the servants leave? |
20628 | Ai n''t anybody got any young turkeys that need bringin''up scientific?" |
20628 | Ai n''t he a bear- cat, though? |
20628 | Ai n''t it some party?" |
20628 | Ai n''t that fierce? |
20628 | Ai n''t there any second choice?" |
20628 | All of that, eh? |
20628 | Almost in the theatrical game, eh? |
20628 | And I expect she picked you out all on account of your compelling beauty? |
20628 | And I suppose you are one of Mr. Ellins''assistants?" |
20628 | And his training has been what? |
20628 | And how about the show? |
20628 | And how did she come to be waitin''there in the taxi? |
20628 | And how did you come to get him locked up here?" |
20628 | And if I''m having a dress fitted on the second floor just wait downstairs for me, will you, Torchy?" |
20628 | And if we go in for poultry, why not have all kinds, turkeys as well?" |
20628 | And it was up to Whitey to bring him back into the public eye, was n''t it? |
20628 | And it''s for the sweetest girl in the world, ai n''t it?" |
20628 | And now-- I suppose it''ll be a case of your bringin''home a new daughter to help Mother, eh?" |
20628 | And on the side, I expect, he does plain and fancy spyin'', eh?" |
20628 | And say, some of these new jazz steps are queer, are n''t they? |
20628 | And suppose some curb broker was waitin''to take her out to Heather Blossom Inn? |
20628 | And then again, you tried enlisting once, did n''t you, and were turned down?" |
20628 | And then she whispers to me:"Has n''t she a nice face, though?" |
20628 | And what do you guess? |
20628 | And what do you suppose this fathead has the front to spring on me? |
20628 | And what then?" |
20628 | And when I''d left her and strolled out to the gate where Babe is pacin''up and down anxious, he demands at once:"Well, did you find out?" |
20628 | And your folks live there?" |
20628 | Anything more I can do?" |
20628 | Are they still practicing that wonderful duck walk you were telling me about?" |
20628 | Been buyin''out the spark shop? |
20628 | Besides, had n''t she recognized Ernie on sight? |
20628 | Besides, he''s brought us safely so far, has n''t he?" |
20628 | Billy dripped some on your seat cushions, did n''t he?" |
20628 | Boy, where did you get such stuff in your head?" |
20628 | Brought some clothes for me, did n''t you? |
20628 | But I''m working up the interest, and by next Sunday I''ll bet they''ll be carrying front page headlines,''Where is Penrhyn Deems?'' |
20628 | But after he gets outside he asks pleadin'':"Do n''t I get arrested any more?" |
20628 | But how about the folks back home? |
20628 | But is he discouraged? |
20628 | But listen: suppose she''s kind of out of your class-- a girl who''s been brought up in a basement, say, with a janitor for a father?" |
20628 | But maybe you''ve noticed what''s been happenin''along there where Fifty- ninth street gets high- toned? |
20628 | But please tell me how?" |
20628 | But what about the three cops?" |
20628 | But who was all this on-- Louise?" |
20628 | But would n''t Marion see the landlord and have those fiendish children kept quiet on that tennis court outside? |
20628 | By the way, where was this home of the lovely Louise?" |
20628 | CHAPTER XIV SUBBING FOR THE BOSS How''s that? |
20628 | Ca n''t anybody think of a more cheerful line? |
20628 | Ca n''t play pinochle alone, can you? |
20628 | Can anyone think of a way?" |
20628 | Can you figure in any chance for golf or horseback riding? |
20628 | Can you pull a badge or anything on the judge at the night court?" |
20628 | Come in, will you, lieutenant and-- and join us at tea? |
20628 | Could he be depended on to keep dates with strangers? |
20628 | Could n''t you take us?" |
20628 | Did I get the glad hand? |
20628 | Did I mention that Hartley used to be kind of meek actin''? |
20628 | Did I? |
20628 | Did n''t she send you word she was goin''to be in this with Ronald Breen?" |
20628 | Did she have him on the string?" |
20628 | Did you bring any papers?" |
20628 | Did you choke or anything? |
20628 | Did you ever do such a thing as steal a barber''s pole?" |
20628 | Did you want to talk to him''special, or is it anything I can fix up for you?" |
20628 | Did you----""Did I?" |
20628 | Do you remember the Stribbles?" |
20628 | Do you?" |
20628 | Drop you at your club, shall we?" |
20628 | Eh, old Cootie Tamer?" |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh? |
20628 | Eh?" |
20628 | Eh?" |
20628 | Ellins?" |
20628 | Ever see one of them mobs that turns out when there''s a call for a new chorus? |
20628 | First off though, maybe you can tell me what youth around the place wears a black- and- white checked cap?" |
20628 | G.''s.?" |
20628 | Get me?" |
20628 | Get me?" |
20628 | Get me?'' |
20628 | Got your wrist irons ready for him?" |
20628 | Guess she made good, eh? |
20628 | Had Ernie just been stallin''me off tryin''to establish an alibi? |
20628 | Had he just plain buffaloed me, or what? |
20628 | Had n''t I seen him start on his big night? |
20628 | Had n''t they noticed how restless he''d been for the past few days? |
20628 | Has n''t he nice eyes, though? |
20628 | Has n''t old Leon been beggin''to go into the duck and chicken business for months? |
20628 | Has something happened to me? |
20628 | Have n''t seen my place out on Long Island yet, have you; or met the new heir to the house of Torchy?" |
20628 | Have n''t seen my son Edgar, have you? |
20628 | Have n''t seen the large- sized family I''m startin'', have you? |
20628 | Have you forgotten your reactions of a few short months ago? |
20628 | Have you put up for the margins?" |
20628 | He did n''t hate it, did he? |
20628 | He did n''t take any pains to hide it, or to lower his voice when he remarks,"Well, kiddo, see you at eight thirt., eh?" |
20628 | He just holds his hand up to his ear and asks kind of bored:"Eh, what''s that?" |
20628 | He''s rather a nice chap, is n''t he?" |
20628 | Hey? |
20628 | His reg''lar openin''is"Hello, Girlie, what you got on the event card for tonight?" |
20628 | How about startin''at his rooms and interviewin''his man?" |
20628 | How about startin''in with the tea dance at the Admiral, just opened? |
20628 | How about this at the bottom, though? |
20628 | How do you know what''s behind''em? |
20628 | How long do I get on this?" |
20628 | How long? |
20628 | How long? |
20628 | How many times, for instance, do you suppose you''ve walked past the Hotel Northumberland? |
20628 | How should you? |
20628 | How was that?" |
20628 | How''ll you have''em, lieutenant-- twos or fours?" |
20628 | How''s that, eh? |
20628 | I do n''t suppose you ever taught second grade yourself, did you?" |
20628 | I expect he wore a rain coat or something over his costume, and went in a taxi; eh, Nimms?" |
20628 | I expect somebody''s going to get a weddin''present, eh?" |
20628 | I''ve been chipper enough since, have n''t I, Andy, dear?" |
20628 | If he had, who was his swell lady friend? |
20628 | If we ca n''t start''em from the seed what''s the matter with gettin''some sprouts? |
20628 | If you''d changed as much as she had how would you like to be stacked up sudden against a view of what you was once? |
20628 | In that rig Penrhyn would have to stay put, would n''t he? |
20628 | Instead, I asks confidential, as usual:"Any word yet from Louise?" |
20628 | Is n''t it dreadful?" |
20628 | Is n''t that right, Ellery?" |
20628 | Is n''t that splendid?" |
20628 | It comes out so unexpected that for a second or so I just gawps at her, and then I asks:"Referrin''to my hair?" |
20628 | Just the way they do in the movie dramas, eh?" |
20628 | Just then, though, she reaches out a pair of bare arms and remarks real folksy:"At last you''ve come, have n''t you?" |
20628 | Know what one of the decorators told me? |
20628 | Let''s go there, Torchy, before we go out home tonight?" |
20628 | Looks like our little Vincent was some speedy performer, do n''t it? |
20628 | Looks so, do n''t it?" |
20628 | Lucy, eh? |
20628 | Made a clean getaway, did they?" |
20628 | Marie''chorus, do you?" |
20628 | Maybe that''ll hold you, eh?" |
20628 | Mears?" |
20628 | Might as well do this in style, eh? |
20628 | Mosquitoes? |
20628 | Mothers are easy, ai n''t they? |
20628 | Mr. Ellins, is n''t it? |
20628 | Must be some whale of a female?" |
20628 | No hurry, are you?" |
20628 | Notice that carry through? |
20628 | Now how did he disappear? |
20628 | Now what part of Manhattan is it that''s got your super- Sherlocks guessin''so hard?" |
20628 | Oh, what''s the use?" |
20628 | Or an island? |
20628 | Or has Billy''s little beak had another leaky spell?" |
20628 | Or was it a case of poor memory? |
20628 | Or would it be a limousine? |
20628 | Perhaps you imagine this to be a case where, if you could only turn loose your wonderful organization, you could work a miracle?" |
20628 | Perhaps you''d like to come along, Torchy?" |
20628 | Real clever of you, was n''t it?" |
20628 | Remember anything about that?" |
20628 | Ribble?" |
20628 | Robert?" |
20628 | Say, what do you guess? |
20628 | See Hartley''s little plan? |
20628 | See who''s standin''up in the truck over there? |
20628 | See? |
20628 | See? |
20628 | Shall we try it, Most Worthy Buddies?" |
20628 | So I ask you where is El Capitan Yohness?" |
20628 | So she raises her eyebrows and remarks:"A garden? |
20628 | So what''s the use talking? |
20628 | So wo n''t you both come? |
20628 | So you see?" |
20628 | Some life, eh? |
20628 | Some of''em college hicks, I expect?" |
20628 | Some pippin in the act, is n''t she? |
20628 | Someone calling me on the''phone? |
20628 | Something important, I suppose?" |
20628 | Sorry, but----""Mean to say Louise took you home after dinner?" |
20628 | Sounds simple, do n''t it? |
20628 | Still harping on that red tape notion, are you? |
20628 | Suppose I could, though, how would you be sure it was the same one, after so many years? |
20628 | Suppose we pass resolutions of regret in Marion''s case, and let it ride at that?" |
20628 | Swell idea, eh? |
20628 | Tell me, though, how are people taking it?" |
20628 | That being the way things stood what was the use of my coming in with an argument? |
20628 | That did n''t give him any license to unload bush- league stuff for the rest of his career, did it? |
20628 | That''s goin''some, ai n''t it? |
20628 | That''s some he- sized order, ai n''t it?" |
20628 | That''s talkin'', ai n''t it? |
20628 | The old favorite?" |
20628 | The question now is, do you want to meet him?" |
20628 | They''re still dead, I suppose?" |
20628 | Think I can stick around here all night? |
20628 | Third floor west, was n''t you?" |
20628 | Torchy, do n''t you suppose you could do it for her?" |
20628 | Understand? |
20628 | Very firsh thing he says is,''And who the devil are you?'' |
20628 | Visiting here, too, eh? |
20628 | Was his memory good? |
20628 | Was n''t he her father, and was n''t he payin''all the bills? |
20628 | Was the grave of Donna Mario there? |
20628 | We almost got to the noddin''point when we met in the elevator, did n''t we?" |
20628 | We''ll land him yet, eh, Torchy? |
20628 | Well, sir, anything to report?" |
20628 | Were you ever there?" |
20628 | What about baggage?" |
20628 | What about her?" |
20628 | What about him? |
20628 | What became of him?" |
20628 | What could Jonesey have to forget? |
20628 | What did you go in there for?" |
20628 | What do you make out of this?" |
20628 | What do you say?" |
20628 | What if he had done the lines and lyrics to"The Buccaneer''s Bride"? |
20628 | What if her feet should skid and after ten or a dozen bell hops had boosted her up again they should find me underneath? |
20628 | What is the number of his regiment?" |
20628 | What is your pleasure?" |
20628 | What makes you think he might show up, Torchy?" |
20628 | What reminded you of them?" |
20628 | What say?" |
20628 | What we do n''t want is-- eh? |
20628 | What would Ellery be passin''stuff through the window for if there was n''t? |
20628 | What''ll they say to this wide jump of yours?" |
20628 | What''s a bent hairpin in the mud to you? |
20628 | What''s he done?" |
20628 | What''s his number?" |
20628 | What''s it all about, somebody?" |
20628 | What''s the number again? |
20628 | What''s your guess?" |
20628 | What? |
20628 | What?" |
20628 | When you tell Mr. Ellins that I''ve been here, and gone, could n''t you somehow forget to say just how I looked? |
20628 | When?" |
20628 | Where did he get such a fancy tag? |
20628 | Where do you think I''m goin''to get hot coffee for you, anyway? |
20628 | Where does that leave you?" |
20628 | Where have you been since night before last after dinner?" |
20628 | Where was this musical gent and his tourin''car? |
20628 | Who did it?" |
20628 | Who do you think you''re kidding, anyway?" |
20628 | Who else but Whitey would want him shunted off out of sight for a week or so?" |
20628 | Who knows?" |
20628 | Who saw him last?" |
20628 | Who says it of me?" |
20628 | Why not take our nourishment on the fly?" |
20628 | Why the mournful headshake over him now?" |
20628 | Why will the little imps sing it through their noses? |
20628 | Will you, though?" |
20628 | Would he know Dorr''s Crossing when he saw it? |
20628 | Would n''t Mirabelle be sore if she knew about that, eh?" |
20628 | Would n''t it, now?" |
20628 | Would n''t that spank the pill 200 yards straight down the fairway? |
20628 | Would you blow her to a bowl of chow mein at some chop suey joint, or could you get by with a nut sundae at a cut- rate drug store? |
20628 | Yes?" |
20628 | You ai n''t thought of any way it might be worked, have you?" |
20628 | You ca n''t walk off and leave her with her hands in the air, can you? |
20628 | You get me, do n''t you? |
20628 | You have fresh eggs right along?" |
20628 | You know her? |
20628 | You know? |
20628 | You know? |
20628 | You mean you got the idea from one of the dummies? |
20628 | You remember him, Torchy?" |
20628 | You remember them pictures we used to see of the late Queen Victoria? |
20628 | You remember?" |
20628 | You say he went out in that rig? |
20628 | You see, if he remembers me as I was when that photo was taken-- Well, where''s the harm?" |
20628 | You still have the idea I can trace out Yohness for you? |
20628 | You sure did make it unanimous, did n''t you?" |
20628 | You would n''t expect me to pick out the cheap things for a lady plutess from Brazil, would you? |
20628 | You would n''t have thought she''d been disagreeable enough to go and rehearse all this innocent little bluff of mine to Vee, would you? |
20628 | You''ve seen''em do the shimmy- plus? |
20628 | You?" |
20628 | says I,"Me? |
20628 | says I,"you''re a reg''lar Mr. Zipp- Zipp when it comes to romantic notions, ai n''t you?" |
20628 | she squeals,"what do you think has happened?" |
20629 | A puppy? |
20629 | A swell bunch of grafters Uncle Sam turned back when he let go of the roads, eh? |
20629 | A tall, thin man with red whiskers, eh? |
20629 | Ai n''t that just my luck? |
20629 | Alone? |
20629 | Am I to infer,says Mr. Ellins,"that this He- Crab act of his was humorous?" |
20629 | Am I, though? |
20629 | An-- an Airedale? |
20629 | And I understand you were responsible for the Corrugated baseball team, and are now conducting a pool tournament? |
20629 | And do all the cooking for that big family, I suppose? |
20629 | And had any of the young men succeeded; that is, in producing something with-- er-- a kick to it? |
20629 | And how do you think you are getting on as a business man? |
20629 | And little Polly is having such a good time, is n''t she? |
20629 | And next? |
20629 | And the Old He- Crab referred to-- who was that? |
20629 | And then? |
20629 | And this is a little postponed honeymoon tour, eh? |
20629 | And we could keep him out in the garage, and have Dominick look after him, could n''t we? 20629 And who, may I ask,"goes on Old Hickory,"are the Corrugated Crabs?" |
20629 | And would n''t that be splendid for them all? |
20629 | And you conceived the happy idea of dramatizing me as the leading comic feature for this dinner party of my employees? 20629 And you married the job, eh?" |
20629 | And you still have a capital of three hundred for future operations, eh? |
20629 | And you''re game to tackle any light work with good pay? |
20629 | And''phoned a code message to someone in Broad Street, I suppose? |
20629 | Any message? |
20629 | Any person who can show such marksmanship with a golf ball is quite welcome to---- Ah, just answer that''phone call, will you, son? |
20629 | Any? |
20629 | Been sent to summon the firin''squad, or what? |
20629 | Blakes? |
20629 | Bob calls you Torchy, does n''t he? |
20629 | Buddy? |
20629 | But I do n''t quite see, sir,goes on Piddie,"how a----""Do n''t you?" |
20629 | But I thought you said you did n''t dance any more? |
20629 | But do n''t you see, Bruce,protests Mrs. Mackey,"that if he did I-- I should have to-- to meet him again?" |
20629 | But how about that sport census? |
20629 | But if I had the ring that she gave me-- her token-- well, you see? |
20629 | But say, Hartley''s right up to date in his methods of handlin''a wrathy parent, ai n''t he? 20629 But tell me,"gasps Vee,"what on earth has happened? |
20629 | But what''s all the hurry about? |
20629 | But who would go on adding to your savings account? 20629 But why not?" |
20629 | But you have n''t played golf yourself, have you? |
20629 | But you made good, did you? |
20629 | But your flower bed is about ready, ai n''t it? |
20629 | But, Torchy,says Vee,"what could possibly happen here; that is, like those things in town?" |
20629 | But-- but from where? |
20629 | But-- but how long has this been goin''on, Hartley? |
20629 | But-- but of course he did n''t really take him all that distance? |
20629 | Ca n''t always tell what? |
20629 | Call that a cocktail, do they? 20629 Can I help any?" |
20629 | Can you guess how long it has been since I have appeared in a church? |
20629 | Chesty, eh? |
20629 | Chuck me that Pathfinder from the case behind you, will you? 20629 Church?" |
20629 | Could you call all those fellows back as easily as you sent them off? |
20629 | Could you tell to a stranger in a strange land what one does who has great hunger and no rupees left in his purse? |
20629 | Dess one''ittle toe- tiss? |
20629 | Did you get the hunch from Vincent''s mother? |
20629 | Did you have a good night''s rest? |
20629 | Did you induce him to give the right answer? |
20629 | Did-- did she give you a-- a token, as she did to me? |
20629 | Dig it out, will you? |
20629 | Do I look like a Gladys- hound? 20629 Do I understand that it was an ultimatum?" |
20629 | Do n''t hook over the ears with a wire? 20629 Do n''t you read the newspapers?" |
20629 | Do n''t you remember havin''a debate not long ago with someone who claimed he could pull some wonderful stunt with a mashie- niblick? |
20629 | Do they? |
20629 | Do we go down in a car or something? |
20629 | Do you know what I''ve made up my mind to do some day this week? 20629 Do you like your old Auntie, Richard?" |
20629 | Do you start by joinin''hands around the table? |
20629 | Do you? |
20629 | Do-- do you suppose I could do that, too? |
20629 | Do? |
20629 | Does this one size up like he was a child eater? 20629 Doing it on a bet, I suppose?" |
20629 | Dowd? 20629 Dressed like that?" |
20629 | Dropped how? |
20629 | Eh? 20629 Eh?" |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Except on a pass, eh? |
20629 | Excuse me, sir,says I,"but you were expectin''a party from the Belgian Commission, were you?" |
20629 | Excuse my askin'',says I,"but are you going or coming?" |
20629 | Fired? 20629 For instance,"he goes on,"what is it these fine Harbor Hills folks do that I ca n''t learn? |
20629 | For instance? |
20629 | For what? |
20629 | Found that your little hundred and fifty a month would n''t go very far, did you? |
20629 | From Louise? |
20629 | From what? |
20629 | Gave your friend the double cross, as I believe you would state it? |
20629 | Ghost stuff, eh? |
20629 | Goin''to hunt her up and give back the ring? |
20629 | Going to bury a cat, or something? |
20629 | Golf? 20629 Got any golf bugs in your buildin'', Cap?" |
20629 | Got to be quite a man, too-- among painters, eh? |
20629 | Had the window marked, did he? |
20629 | Hartley, eh? 20629 Hartley?" |
20629 | Have to buy somebody; eh, Vincent? |
20629 | Have you any more wise deductions to submit? |
20629 | He bane new tenant on second floor, yes? 20629 He does give promise of being a brilliant business man, does n''t he?" |
20629 | Hey, where do I come in? |
20629 | Honest? |
20629 | House painting, eh? |
20629 | How about a round of strawb''ry ice cream sodas; eh, Amby? |
20629 | How about a slice of roast beef rare, with mashed potatoes and turnips and a cup of coffee? |
20629 | How about that, Nicky? |
20629 | How about the old Bonaparte for the eats? |
20629 | How about your old man? |
20629 | How could I, Betty? |
20629 | How could it be? |
20629 | How did you happen to honor us by making your start here? |
20629 | How do you know I''m primed? |
20629 | How do you mean, setting hens? |
20629 | How do you size up Nicky''s plea of not guilty? |
20629 | How does he get away with all that Romeo stuff,I asks Mr. Robert once,"without being tagged permanent? |
20629 | How does it break out? |
20629 | How in the world did you ever manage it? 20629 How much time off do I get, a couple of hours?" |
20629 | How much? |
20629 | How''s the old back feel about now; eh, Torchy? |
20629 | I ask pardon? |
20629 | I beg pardon? |
20629 | I beg pardon? |
20629 | I beg pardon? |
20629 | I do n''t know as it will work in his case, for he''s got it bad, but suppose we tow him out for a look at Private Ben Riggs? |
20629 | I expect it is,says I, squintin''at it professional,"but-- but just what is it supposed lo be?" |
20629 | I expect you did n''t notice the marks on it? |
20629 | I hope you do n''t mind the onion perfume? |
20629 | I mean,says I,"that you do n''t take any stock in that mantle of Sandy the Great yarn?" |
20629 | I say, Bob,says he,"you remember my telling you about the lovely Marcelle Jedain? |
20629 | I say, Lucy,says he,"suppose we make a rinktum- diddy for the folks, eh?" |
20629 | I say, will you call him right up? |
20629 | I see,says Z. K."And if I did fire''em, do you think you have influence enough to get a full crew of union men to finish this job by next Saturday?" |
20629 | I suppose I would be expected to-- er-- meet her there? |
20629 | I suppose he''ll call that coming safely out of a nose dive, eh? |
20629 | I suppose you would find some way of inducing Stella to stay-- if you were not too busy? |
20629 | I take it you''ve not been underground before, sir? |
20629 | I wonder if there are many others? |
20629 | I wonder what they could have been peeved about on such a fine night? |
20629 | I wonder, Torchy,says she,"who could have started such a rumor?" |
20629 | I-- I beg pardon? |
20629 | I-- I hope you still have it? |
20629 | If your car is n''t here ca n''t we take you home? |
20629 | In fact-- well, you get the idea, eh? 20629 Is Polly the one with the pointed chin and the I- dare- you pout?" |
20629 | Is he? |
20629 | Is it a woman- eatin''mouse, or did you grab a hatpin by the business end? |
20629 | Is n''t it all perfectly fascinating? |
20629 | Is n''t it green corn, or string beans that you''re aimin''at, Torchy? |
20629 | Is n''t it perfectly bully that you could come? 20629 Is n''t it perfectly wonderful,"says she, waddlin''in fussy,"that your dear darling little son should be two years old? |
20629 | Is n''t that Buddy''s bark? |
20629 | Is n''t that just like Henry? |
20629 | Is n''t that nice? |
20629 | Is n''t that perfectly stunning, Torchy? |
20629 | Is that rain? |
20629 | Is that what you call it? |
20629 | Is-- is he somebody in particular? |
20629 | It ai n''t any art, is it, just stirrin''up the ground with a spade? 20629 It was, eh?" |
20629 | It would have been a swell bluff if it had worked though, would n''t it? |
20629 | It''s what you get when you fry onions, eh? |
20629 | Joe Bruzinski? 20629 Just how did you work it?" |
20629 | Just like the good old days, eh, Nicky? |
20629 | Just like they was members of One Big Union, eh? |
20629 | Just what''s the difference? |
20629 | Just what''s the matter with us-- Mrs. Garvey and me? |
20629 | Kind of a he- chaperone act, eh? |
20629 | Kind of a matrimonial runner- up, eh? |
20629 | Know anything about industrial welfare work, young man? |
20629 | Lay off''at, tant you? |
20629 | Learned a few things, have n''t you, since you''ve been knocking around? |
20629 | Let''s ask if we ca n''t take her home? |
20629 | Let''s see,opens Old Hickory,"you''ve been with us about a year, have n''t you?" |
20629 | Like it better than being in the bond room? |
20629 | Looks like a case of Cupid throwin''a monkey wrench into the gears of commerce, eh? |
20629 | Me? |
20629 | Me? |
20629 | Me? |
20629 | Meanin''what? |
20629 | Meaning Ambrose the Ambler? |
20629 | Means to devote all his time to breakin''the long distance no- speech record, does he? |
20629 | Might it not, sir,adds Piddie,"have been dropped from an airplane?" |
20629 | Minnie who? |
20629 | Moon shinin''and everything? |
20629 | Mr. Ellins, is it not? |
20629 | Mr. Henry Grummidge? |
20629 | Mrs. St. Claire? 20629 Must have got you in some lively spots, runnin''a right of way smack up to the German lines?" |
20629 | Must you think? |
20629 | No? |
20629 | Nor a club, either? |
20629 | Not at all,says I"Could n''t do much less for a neighbor, could we?" |
20629 | Not what you''d exactly call a shrinkin''violet, eh? |
20629 | Not who and what and why? |
20629 | Now I guess you know where you get off, eh, Vee? |
20629 | Oh, come, lady,says I, slippin''her the confidential smile,"do I look like I did fourth- rate gumshoein''for a livin''? |
20629 | Oh, did you? |
20629 | Oh, for instance,says I"And did n''t you have a snapshot of Stella you took once last summer?" |
20629 | Oh, it ca n''t be as desperate a case as that, can if? |
20629 | Oh, it is, eh? |
20629 | Oh, that? |
20629 | Oh, then she got him, did she? |
20629 | Oh, why drag out the agony? |
20629 | Oh, you were not, eh? |
20629 | On his way to hand Ferdy the glad jolt, eh? |
20629 | On the runnin''board? |
20629 | One what? |
20629 | Over what? |
20629 | Pardon me if I seem curious,goes on Old Hickory,"but just how did you-- er-- create the illusion?" |
20629 | Pictures? |
20629 | Polite, but not insistent, I suppose? |
20629 | Polly? 20629 Pullin''the old stuff, eh? |
20629 | Quit? |
20629 | Really? |
20629 | Right off the boulevard, eh? |
20629 | Same old cut- up, eh, Amby? |
20629 | Say, I ask you, do they look it? |
20629 | Say, Mr. Ellins,I calls out,"if it was shot from a roof how do you dope out this grass stain on it?" |
20629 | Say, where do you get that stuff? |
20629 | Say, you are a fast worker when you get going, ai n''t you? |
20629 | Say,demands''Ikky- boy, pushin''her face away fretful,"where oo get''at stuff?" |
20629 | Say,says I,"how''s that block sociable progressin''?" |
20629 | Sayin''a piece, was n''t you? |
20629 | Secretary, are you? 20629 See what the Curb crowd did to G. L. T. common yesterday? |
20629 | See? |
20629 | Seen him yet? |
20629 | She was n''t after sayin''as much, ma''am,says Stella,"but would I be sittin''in the parlor with my hands folded, and her so stylish? |
20629 | Sideways? 20629 So why should you wish yourself back in China?" |
20629 | So you did have to crawl back, eh? |
20629 | Some great good fortune, eh? 20629 Son of yours with us? |
20629 | Sort of a limousine body- black, eh? |
20629 | Sort of a poddy, heavy set old party with a smooth face? |
20629 | Sort of a trunk check, eh? |
20629 | Still getting on well with your job? |
20629 | Still strong for it, eh? |
20629 | Still,says Vee,"they have been livin out here nearly a year, have n''t they? |
20629 | Suppose I use only the last of it, the Balla Ben part? |
20629 | Telephone? |
20629 | Tell Ellins, will you? |
20629 | Tell me, how do you get it to wave so cunningly in front? |
20629 | That is-- er-- final, is it? |
20629 | That the idea? |
20629 | That will sound nice, wo n''t it? |
20629 | That''s good,says I,"but he do n''t need to lug it to the dinner table, does he?" |
20629 | That''s logical,admits Old Hickory,"but from where did he shoot? |
20629 | The boss is always fair game, eh? |
20629 | The impossible beast? 20629 The one with the honey- colored hair and the bashful behavin''eyes?" |
20629 | Then he did n''t pull the''bless you, my children,''stuff, eh? |
20629 | Then maybe you''ll leave your card? |
20629 | Then take me out to him, will you? |
20629 | Then we would start the card with''Where born?'' |
20629 | Then why in the name of the seven sins do you stick? |
20629 | Then you do n''t think, Mr. Ellins,says I,"that we ought to have the boy page Sir Oliver Lodge?" |
20629 | Then you got some more comin''to you, have n''t you? |
20629 | Then you have n''t gotten acquainted with anyone in the building here? |
20629 | Then you rather hope he''ll refuse to come? |
20629 | They''re genuine, ai n''t they? |
20629 | They-- they never use a-- a rifle for such purposes, do they? |
20629 | Think I can stand up there before a thousand or more people and give Polly away? |
20629 | Think you''d like to go, do you? |
20629 | This ai n''t another visit from the creek, is it? |
20629 | Um precious''ittle sweetums, ai n''t oo? |
20629 | Until what? |
20629 | Vee,says I, when we gets back to our own fireside,"what friend has Stella got that she calls Maggie, dear?" |
20629 | Verona,she goes on, ignorin''me,"you are certain it is quite all right, are you?" |
20629 | Want me to scuttle the steamer? |
20629 | Want to wait? |
20629 | Wants to see me squirm, does he? |
20629 | Was n''t I right about Louise? |
20629 | Was n''t it you laid the tracks that got up them big naval guns? |
20629 | Was n''t that the kind I''ve heard you boostin''all along? |
20629 | Was that the real reason why you were in Worcester? |
20629 | We? |
20629 | We? |
20629 | Well then, why do n''t you find me a substitute? 20629 Well, Torchy,"says he,"how did you leave Bruzinski?" |
20629 | Well, how about that foreign contract? |
20629 | Well, son,says he,"is it the natural blond on the seventh, or the brunette vamp who pounds keys on the third that you want to meet?" |
20629 | Well, what can you do with a Scotchman who''s mad clear to the marrow? 20629 Well, what do you expect me to do?" |
20629 | Well, what do you think? |
20629 | Well, what does she want with----? |
20629 | Well,says I,"ai n''t there mint on top and a cherry in the bottom?" |
20629 | Well,says I,"who does this H. Munson Schott party say he is?" |
20629 | Well,says he, as I taps him on the shoulder,"is it all over?" |
20629 | Well,says he,"I presume you noted the arrival of the prodigal son; eh, Torchy?" |
20629 | Well,''Ikky- boy, how you and Buddy been behavin''yourselves, eh? |
20629 | Well? |
20629 | Well? |
20629 | Well? |
20629 | Well? |
20629 | Well? |
20629 | Were the window washers at work on our floor this mornin''? |
20629 | Wh- a- at? |
20629 | Wha- a- at? |
20629 | Whaddye mean, natural? |
20629 | Whaddye mean, nice? |
20629 | Whaddye mean, them? |
20629 | Whaddye mean? |
20629 | Whaddye think this is, a soap fact''ry? 20629 What about Gummidge then?" |
20629 | What about starting with your own block? |
20629 | What about your successor, Vincent? |
20629 | What are the facts about Stella? |
20629 | What do they take me for, a gold fish? |
20629 | What do you mean by that, Bruce? |
20629 | What do you think of this new near- beer? |
20629 | What do you think? |
20629 | What if I did? |
20629 | What if it was some golf nut who''d gone out on a roof? |
20629 | What now? |
20629 | What of it? |
20629 | What shall I do, then? |
20629 | What sort of noises? |
20629 | What the blazes is a grenadine cocktail or-- or a pineapple punch? |
20629 | What then? |
20629 | What was his line before he went in the army-- plumber, truck driver, or what? |
20629 | What would that indicate? |
20629 | What you been up to? |
20629 | What you going to do besides fire him? 20629 What you going to do now?" |
20629 | What''ll it be? |
20629 | What''s his pet side line? |
20629 | What''s it all about? |
20629 | What''s the big idea, Torchy? |
20629 | What''s the breed, Joe? |
20629 | What''s the fun of livin''if you ca n''t? |
20629 | What''s the idea? |
20629 | What''s the name? |
20629 | What''s the scandal, Piddie? |
20629 | What''s your wish? |
20629 | What? |
20629 | What? |
20629 | What? |
20629 | Whatever put that in your mind, me lad? |
20629 | When does he spring that jolly stuff? 20629 Where are they now?" |
20629 | Where could I scrape up enough money to move to Texas, I''d like to know? |
20629 | Where did he hail from? |
20629 | Where did you put Auntie? |
20629 | Where did you round up all the perfectly good men? |
20629 | Where does she get that stuff? |
20629 | Where was that? 20629 Where''d you collect the sweet young things, Stanley?" |
20629 | Where''s all the coal? |
20629 | Where? |
20629 | Where? |
20629 | Which has been the worst cut- up today, eh? |
20629 | Who do you like best around this joint, anyway? |
20629 | Who do you mean? |
20629 | Who is implying that you do? 20629 Who me?" |
20629 | Who was our young friend with all the literature? |
20629 | Who was the brainless wretch? |
20629 | Who would they give it to? |
20629 | Who''s been telling her we handle the social blacklist for the Roaring Rock district of Long Island? |
20629 | Who''s saying you are? 20629 Who''s your neighbor?" |
20629 | Who? |
20629 | Why Auntie? |
20629 | Why Crabs? |
20629 | Why ask me, who was smuggled in the back door? |
20629 | Why could n''t I do it? |
20629 | Why did n''t you hang that blue card in the right window? |
20629 | Why did n''t you say so? 20629 Why do n''t you speak to her some time?" |
20629 | Why have n''t we met before? |
20629 | Why not find the lovely Marcelle first and explain about the ring afterwards? |
20629 | Why not from Minnie? |
20629 | Why not sample some of it? |
20629 | Why not? |
20629 | Why not? |
20629 | Why should he not? |
20629 | Why should n''t I be? |
20629 | Why the deuce do you bring her here? |
20629 | Why the masquerade? |
20629 | Why, Torchy? |
20629 | Why, do n''t you remember? |
20629 | Why, from Minnehaha? |
20629 | Why, how comfy you are here, are n''t you? |
20629 | Why,says F. Hallam,"do n''t you understand what has happened during these last two weeks? |
20629 | Why,says Waddy,"could n''t you-- er-- telephone to him, or send a messenger?" |
20629 | Why-- why-- Who says there''s anything the matter with either of you? |
20629 | Will Senor Alvarado stake you to that? |
20629 | Will you please tell me which is the Blakes''bell? |
20629 | Wo n''t um let me tiss um''s tweet''ittle pinky winky toes? |
20629 | Wo n''t you come over and find out? |
20629 | Wot kind? |
20629 | Wot you t''ink? 20629 Would it have been in that three- cornered strip that runs along by the road?" |
20629 | Would you? |
20629 | Wrong? |
20629 | Ye- e- es, are n''t we? |
20629 | Ye- e- es? |
20629 | Yes, sir? |
20629 | Yes, sir? |
20629 | Yes, that''s the main mystery, ai n''t it? |
20629 | Yes,says he,"they seem to be doing fairly well this summer; but how about next winter, when they go back to town? |
20629 | You are in town for the week- end, are you? |
20629 | You bet him he could n''t, did n''t you? |
20629 | You did manage it, did n''t you? |
20629 | You do n''t eh? |
20629 | You do n''t happen to know a Mr. Schott, do you? |
20629 | You do n''t mean he does it himself? |
20629 | You do n''t mean it? |
20629 | You do n''t stand to lose anything, do you, even if they do chatter? 20629 You do n''t, eh?" |
20629 | You expect us to put a premium on the sort of work you''ve been doing? 20629 You grasp the idea now, do n''t you?" |
20629 | You have tried that before, have n''t you? 20629 You know that carload of mill machinery that had been missing for so long? |
20629 | You know? |
20629 | You mean you struck a gusher on the sheep ranch? |
20629 | You no lika da dogs, hey? |
20629 | You remember that yesterday Mr. Ellins called for a special report on outside holdings? 20629 You remember the Whitleys that complained about him? |
20629 | You say they were not seen again? |
20629 | You sent a couple of non- union plumbers down here the other day, did n''t you? |
20629 | You would? |
20629 | You''re not enthusiastic about it, eh? |
20629 | You''re quite sure this is fame, are you? |
20629 | You''re rather clever at that sort of thing, are you? |
20629 | You''re some little Polar explorer, ai n''t you? |
20629 | You-- er-- know the circumstances, I presume? |
20629 | You-- you mean you''re a reg''lar painter? |
20629 | Young man,says he as he hands it over,"perhaps you can fell me something about this?" |
20629 | Young man,says he, chewin''his cigar savage,"what should you say was the longest steamer trip that one could buy a ticket for direct from New York?" |
20629 | Your mother, eh? |
20629 | ''But-- er--? |
20629 | ''How many do you lie?'' |
20629 | About 5:30 will do for a starter, eh?" |
20629 | Ai n''t raisin''that kind, are you, Joe?" |
20629 | Ai n''t there the four nieces and three nephews that hardly knows their aunt by sight? |
20629 | And are you a high- brow; if so, why? |
20629 | And how do you know, Vee, but what I''m the grandest little digger ever was? |
20629 | And if I have such an unsuspected talent as that should n''t I exercise it occasionally? |
20629 | And if I were not tied up by an important committee meeting out at the country club I should be very glad to-- er--""Ye- e- es?" |
20629 | And is n''t everything so handy?" |
20629 | And is n''t that a picture for an artist?" |
20629 | And it''s so fortunate we happened to see you, was n''t it?" |
20629 | And maybe you''re willin''to tell how you get this way-- great hunger and no rupees?" |
20629 | And now I expect they''re livin''happy ever after?" |
20629 | And now I suppose she''s like a full blown rose, perfect, exquisite?" |
20629 | And now where is the darling little baby that I have n''t seen for months and months? |
20629 | And was n''t it this kind? |
20629 | And what''s so precious in the bundle you have on your knees?" |
20629 | And when he''s towed me to the manager''s sanctum he demands:"Well, what''s gone wrong with Louise?" |
20629 | And where can I find another?" |
20629 | And who needs it more at such a time as this? |
20629 | Any more like him?" |
20629 | Any other reasons why you wished to remain on our pay roll?" |
20629 | Anything new this morning, Governor?" |
20629 | Are n''t his artist friends giving him a banquet at the Purple Pup? |
20629 | Are n''t you, you young tarrier?" |
20629 | Are we back in the will again? |
20629 | Are you hungry enough for that?" |
20629 | At which Vee would snicker and observe:"Now is n''t he the dearest thing to do that, Torchy? |
20629 | Bring it out, will you, Torchy?" |
20629 | Buddy?" |
20629 | But are we acquainted now? |
20629 | But from whom?" |
20629 | But here-- say, how do you break into this bunch, anyway?" |
20629 | But how could I keep a real artist like that with a movie firm offering him five times the money? |
20629 | But how did papa take it?" |
20629 | But if he should decide not to it would be rather a relief, would n''t it? |
20629 | But if there is one, why should they come here?" |
20629 | But just what was it he did? |
20629 | But say, Torchy, honest to goodness, is Broadway like this all the time now?" |
20629 | But that''s makin''fair progress for the first five minutes, eh? |
20629 | But what do they think? |
20629 | But what do we feed him-- dog biscuit?" |
20629 | But when could you find the time?" |
20629 | But where, Torchy?" |
20629 | But who is this Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton Porter Blake, anyway?" |
20629 | But who was he, and what was the grand idea? |
20629 | But without gettin''right down to brass tacks, or namin''any names, could n''t you slip me a few useful hints? |
20629 | But, by the way, just how did you feed it to her?" |
20629 | But-- but just where is it?" |
20629 | CHAPTER X''IKKY- BOY COMES ALONG Being a parent grows on you, do n''t it? |
20629 | Ca n''t they be organized, too?" |
20629 | Ca n''t we have a sitting tomorrow?" |
20629 | Could I do it? |
20629 | Could I have done that if I''d had on my mind a fiendish plot against the peace and safety of the only real aunt we have in the fam''ly? |
20629 | Could n''t I come in on the piano? |
20629 | Could n''t I telegraph to the War Department?" |
20629 | Could n''t have him indicted under the Lever act, could you?" |
20629 | Could n''t you find out how many were interested in one particular thing-- music, or dancing, or bridge-- and get them together?" |
20629 | Could you, now?" |
20629 | Did n''t she now?" |
20629 | Did you ever try walkin''down an idea? |
20629 | Do let me have him for a moment?" |
20629 | Do n''t people turn and stare after him in the street and nudge each other in the subway cars? |
20629 | Do n''t you know how to present a government pass?" |
20629 | Do you get it?" |
20629 | Do you remember that anyone came into the directors''room during our session?" |
20629 | Do you see?" |
20629 | Do you think either Rutter or Staples gave me credit for that? |
20629 | Do you wonder I did n''t give way to any wild, uncontrolled joy? |
20629 | Do you wonder that I bought all my clubs of him, had a collection of his best scores, and kept a large''photo of him in my room? |
20629 | Does n''t that sound arty? |
20629 | Dowd, the golf addict, is still in the private office givin''Old Hickory another earful about the Scotch plague, ai n''t he?" |
20629 | Dowd? |
20629 | Dowd? |
20629 | Eh, Torchy?" |
20629 | Eh? |
20629 | Eh?" |
20629 | Eh?" |
20629 | Eh?" |
20629 | Eh?" |
20629 | Ellins?" |
20629 | Ever try that for an appetizer? |
20629 | Exactly what happened last night?" |
20629 | First off he thought Ben had something to do with the Barbara Freitchie stunt, or was he the one who jumped off Brooklyn Bridge? |
20629 | Frankly now, young man, how do you think I would look before the altar?" |
20629 | Furnished kind of nice, do n''t you think?" |
20629 | Get Mrs. Ellins on the long distance, will you?" |
20629 | Get me? |
20629 | Get me?" |
20629 | Grass? |
20629 | Had he taken a look at it? |
20629 | Had n''t I heard Vee sayin''how she liked some particular kind of a dog? |
20629 | Hamilton is really quite a wonderful cook; are n''t you, Hammy, dear? |
20629 | Hartley indulges in a couple more blinks and then adds:"I trust that I made it clear, Mr. Piddie, how important such an increase was to me?" |
20629 | Has n''t he got his pockets full of newspaper clippings to prove it? |
20629 | He knows all about it, do n''t you, Torchy?" |
20629 | Held a record, did n''t you?" |
20629 | Hey? |
20629 | Honest, now? |
20629 | How about Edith? |
20629 | How about next Saturday? |
20629 | How am I going to think in a bedlam like this?" |
20629 | How are they going to keep from starving?" |
20629 | How could it be?" |
20629 | How did-- did you get it?" |
20629 | How do they behave when they''re among themselves?" |
20629 | How many guests did you say?" |
20629 | How will this do?" |
20629 | How''d you work up to that so quick?" |
20629 | However did you do it? |
20629 | I never have asked any odds of book agents, so why begin now? |
20629 | I say, Bob, is n''t Torchy to stay with me until I find Bruzinski?" |
20629 | I wonder if he''s got it patented?" |
20629 | I-- I suppose I''m fired, sir?" |
20629 | If I had to say the lines would she spot me by my voice? |
20629 | In other words, the wizard met a master mind, eh?" |
20629 | Is he here?" |
20629 | Is it art, books, languages, or the snare drum?" |
20629 | Is it just his good luck?" |
20629 | Is it parlor etiquette? |
20629 | Is n''t that silly? |
20629 | Is n''t that the female instinct for you? |
20629 | Is she a help-- or otherwise?" |
20629 | It is to be entitled,''What is a Revertist?'' |
20629 | It was so generous and kind of you?" |
20629 | Just how, now?" |
20629 | Lay off me for a minute, will you? |
20629 | Let''s try that''Dardanella''thing?" |
20629 | Lucky for the suspender wearin''sex there ai n''t any such pre- nuptial test as that, eh? |
20629 | Matt?" |
20629 | May I ask what course you would recommend?" |
20629 | Maybe you remember Ferdy, who had the nerve to marry Marjorie Ellins, the heavyweight sister of Mr. Robert''s, here a few years back? |
20629 | Maybe, though, you do n''t remember about Private Ben Riggs? |
20629 | Mr. Nickerson Wells, eh? |
20629 | Not a member? |
20629 | Not until Hartley steps right up to him and remarks:"Mr. Tyler, I believe?" |
20629 | Now can we do business?" |
20629 | Now how in the name of the Secret Seven could this happen? |
20629 | Now tell me, how do they do it?" |
20629 | Now what was the big argument? |
20629 | Now what''s the big idea? |
20629 | Now where''s that kitchen alarm clock? |
20629 | Now, just what does that mean?" |
20629 | Odd way to get it, eh? |
20629 | On the front page?" |
20629 | On the other hand, could I renig on the job after all that brash line of talk I''d given Vee? |
20629 | Or pass around silk socks, or scented toilet soap? |
20629 | Or was that conundrum about July cotton a vaudeville gag that got past me?" |
20629 | Perhaps you did n''t know she did promise, though?" |
20629 | Please, mother may n''t I?" |
20629 | Rather stout by this time, I suppose?" |
20629 | Remember me, do n''t you?" |
20629 | Richmond, did n''t you?" |
20629 | Say, how about buyin''the estate here? |
20629 | Say, who''d have thought that a few clothes could make such a difference? |
20629 | Say, you ca n''t always tell, can you? |
20629 | Say, you''ll see more shiny hardware lugged out of here on a Saturday than----""But did you notice any being lugged in today?" |
20629 | Schott?" |
20629 | Scratchin''your head, ai n''t you? |
20629 | See what I''m up against, Torchy?" |
20629 | Shall we?" |
20629 | She lets on not to notice until Vee leans out and asks:"Mrs. Garvey, is n''t it?" |
20629 | Slit pockets? |
20629 | So why should he work for wages any more, or save up any of the easy money that''s coming his way? |
20629 | So why should his sister Stella be cookin''for other folks when she might be livin''swell and independent with them? |
20629 | So you see? |
20629 | So you think I''m an old crab, do you?" |
20629 | Sounds a bit raw, does n''t it? |
20629 | Sunday, eh?" |
20629 | That satisfactory?" |
20629 | The portrait? |
20629 | The private letter book? |
20629 | They sure did play it up, eh? |
20629 | They would know exactly how to go about persuading Stella to stay, I suppose?" |
20629 | Think you could place him somewhere?" |
20629 | Thinks I''m an old crab, does he?" |
20629 | To begin with, who was the man?" |
20629 | To get back to the main argument, however; just how do you think the news should be broken to Dick Harrington?" |
20629 | Torchy, in what department is young Tyler now?" |
20629 | Understand, Torchy? |
20629 | Was she a stunner? |
20629 | Well, maybe Mr. Robert remembers that brother Dan of hers he helped set up as a steam fitter out in Altoona some six or seven years ago? |
20629 | Well, son, want to call it a trade?" |
20629 | Well, son, what have you to offer?" |
20629 | Well, what does this mean-- a masquerade?" |
20629 | Well, what was a fond mommer to do in a case like that? |
20629 | Well, why not? |
20629 | Wells?" |
20629 | What about her? |
20629 | What are some of the charges in the indictment?" |
20629 | What are they after; my consent, eh?" |
20629 | What brainy stunts or polite acts are they strongest for? |
20629 | What did you work at back in Burmah?" |
20629 | What in thunder have you got to do with it?" |
20629 | What is this marvelous recipe of yours?" |
20629 | What say?" |
20629 | What was I doing about it? |
20629 | What was the party''s name who gave you the job?" |
20629 | What was the use wastin''any more breath? |
20629 | What would them Rubes have us do-- say it with flowers? |
20629 | What you say?" |
20629 | What''ll I feed him, Torchy?" |
20629 | What''s his alibi?" |
20629 | What''s it done for him? |
20629 | What''s the rest?" |
20629 | What''s up?" |
20629 | Where did they all come from? |
20629 | Where did you plant it?" |
20629 | Where is she?" |
20629 | Who are you?" |
20629 | Who did you find?" |
20629 | Who is he?" |
20629 | Who the syncopated Sissyphus is she?" |
20629 | Who? |
20629 | Why do you knock off to talk to me?" |
20629 | Why not, after we''ve stood two years of each other without any serious dispute? |
20629 | Why should he? |
20629 | Why would n''t his Psyche picture fit in? |
20629 | Why, you''re the one who''s going to handle that ore transportation deal for the Corrugated, ai n''t you?" |
20629 | Why? |
20629 | Will you come in a minute and thaw out in front of the wood fire?" |
20629 | Will you, eh? |
20629 | Wo n''t it be nice having them so near?" |
20629 | Would he? |
20629 | Would n''t six hours do the job? |
20629 | You get me, I presume?" |
20629 | You get me; eh, Torchy?" |
20629 | You know how that home brew stuff works sometimes?" |
20629 | You know? |
20629 | You organized that, I suppose?" |
20629 | You remember hearin''about the Countess, maybe? |
20629 | You understand, Ellins? |
20629 | You''re not having a dance or-- or anything, are you?" |
20629 | You''re staying for dinner, are n''t you?" |
20629 | You''ve heard of him, of course?" |
20629 | Your cook, is she?" |
20629 | boy? |
20629 | demands Z. K."Got to get the work finished somehow, have n''t I?" |
20629 | says Tony,"What you miss?" |
20629 | says Z. K."Do you mean he was fired?" |
20629 | what is this charge of$ 16.85 on my bill?'' |
3567 | , said the Emperor;to Court?" |
3567 | Ah, Monsieur, if we condemn him, how shall we be able to acquit ourselves? |
3567 | Am I;said Napoleon,"to regulate my actions by the Grand Marshal''s watch? |
3567 | And indeed what order could Marshal Ney have given? |
3567 | Bourrienne,said he,"can you imagine anything more pitiable than their system of finance? |
3567 | Bourrienne,said he,"do you still keep up your acquaintance with the Fauchers?" |
3567 | But is there none in the Guard''s chest? 3567 But,"added Reynier,"if you should persist in forcing him to resign the supreme power, whom will you put in his place?" |
3567 | Can you carry it to this point? 3567 Did he speak about Egypt?" |
3567 | Do you confess having been arrested in the place designated by the witness? |
3567 | Do you know, Bourrienne,said he,"that I have been performing the duties of professor?" |
3567 | Do you think I have time to read all your fooleries? |
3567 | Do you think,returned he,"that my heart is less French than yours? |
3567 | Had he not seduced his sisters, one after the other? |
3567 | Has my wife been saying anything more to you about the Bourbons? |
3567 | Has not your insatiable ambition brought us to this? 3567 Have you any one among your officers,"he asked,"who is well acquainted with Ragusa?" |
3567 | Have you not read your bulletin? |
3567 | Have you read this bulletin? |
3567 | Have you seen him, Bourrienne? |
3567 | How can I help it? |
3567 | How can you expect,said Napoleon,"that I can accede to such a proposition? |
3567 | How did Napoleon receive you? |
3567 | How so? |
3567 | How,said I, with thorough astonishment,"how came you to be employed in this affair? |
3567 | Is it done, Noverraz? |
3567 | Is it my fault? |
3567 | Is it really true,said the Emperor to them,"that you thought of crossing the sea in this?" |
3567 | Is, then, my power so insecure,said he,"that it may be put in peril by a single individual, and a prisoner? |
3567 | Marshal,said the Emperor, before he opened the letter,"may this be read aloud?" |
3567 | My dear Bourrienne,said he,"can you suppose that the elevated rank I have attained has altered my feelings towards you? |
3567 | Of what do you complain? |
3567 | Pray,said he,"am I not thought to be given to a belief in predestination?" |
3567 | See,said he one day,"was there ever such an inconsistency? |
3567 | Sieyès, however, is a very profound man.--"Profound?" |
3567 | Simpleton,said Lefebvre,"why did you not come to me? |
3567 | Sir, said the Emperor, getting more and more irritated,I have given the orders once more; why have they not been executed? |
3567 | So, Monsieur Horan,said he,"you did not leave the Empress during her malady?" |
3567 | That is not much good, is it? |
3567 | Well and had you not the resource of weak states? 3567 Well, Bourrienne,"said Murat, after we had exchanged the usual courtesies,"well, what are you about now?" |
3567 | Well, Doctor,said he to him,"are you satisfied with your patient-- is he obedient enough? |
3567 | Well, Esmenard,said he,"do you still hold your place in the police?" |
3567 | Well, General,said I,"what think you of our journey? |
3567 | Well, General? |
3567 | Well,asked the latter,"have you seen Bourrienne?" |
3567 | Well,said he,"and what would you have done?" |
3567 | Well? |
3567 | What are you doing here? |
3567 | What are you doing there, Bourrienne? 3567 What can I do?" |
3567 | What did you go there for? |
3567 | What have I said? |
3567 | What is it,said he,"these babblers want? |
3567 | What is it? |
3567 | What is the matter? |
3567 | What matters that? 3567 What pamphlet is this? |
3567 | What signifies that,replied Bonaparte,"if it was necessary to the object he had in view?" |
3567 | What was the cause of that malady? |
3567 | What was the force of that army? |
3567 | What will become of me,said he,"if the English, who are cruising hereabout, should learn that I have landed in Corsica? |
3567 | What would you have, my dear? |
3567 | What,said Josephine,"can be thought of this in Paris? |
3567 | What; General, is it you? |
3567 | Where are you going? 3567 Where have you been?" |
3567 | Where is Duroc? |
3567 | Where was my head when I made that grant? |
3567 | Who could have foreseen,said he,"that after being your prisoner I should become the protector of your property? |
3567 | Why,he said, addressing me hastily,"why was not my letter delivered yesterday evening?" |
3567 | Would you believe, my dear friend, that the persons to whom I made these candid protestations laughed at my credulity? 3567 You are above these weaknesses; but what would you have? |
3567 | You are in love? 3567 You are perhaps right, sir,"said M. de Blacas,"but what could I do? |
3567 | You are, then, decidedly going to Asia? |
3567 | You remarked it, Bourrienne? |
3567 | You seem to admire him greatly,said Bonaparte to M. Lemercier;"what do you find in him so astonishing? |
3567 | You will dine with me? |
3567 | ''Do you see this man?'' |
3567 | ''Excommunicated you, my son?'' |
3567 | ''For what purpose are we come here?'' |
3567 | ''How is that?'' |
3567 | ''I know,''said I,''that your Majesty may still keep the sword drawn, but with whom, and against whom? |
3567 | ''If they do not like me to remain in France, where am I to go? |
3567 | ''Should they,''thought I,''suffer for their mother''s faults?'' |
3567 | ''Was not this well done, Bourrienne?'' |
3567 | ''Well,''said I,''since it was so very right, why did you not follow my example, and why leave me to say all?'' |
3567 | ''Well,''said the First Consul, advancing angrily towards Fouché,''will you still say that this is the Royalist party?'' |
3567 | ''What do they mean to do with me?'' |
3567 | ''What do they want with me?'' |
3567 | ''What do you suppose they would do to a man disarmed like me? |
3567 | ''Why not America?'' |
3567 | ''Why should I not stay here?'' |
3567 | ''Will you have the goodness, Madame,''said he,''to go and wait for me at my head- quarters? |
3567 | -- What could be expected from Regnier, charged as he was with incompatible functions? |
3567 | --"A Chouan?" |
3567 | --"A very young man, say you? |
3567 | --"And how much did you pay him?" |
3567 | --"And what did he say?" |
3567 | --"And what then?" |
3567 | --"And whose, then?" |
3567 | --"Are you not my secretary?" |
3567 | --"But are you sure he is against you?" |
3567 | --"But the money?" |
3567 | --"But what is to be done? |
3567 | --"But, Sire, is she not as unhappy in being banished from her country and her friends as if she were in prison?" |
3567 | --"Did he reproach me with nothing else?" |
3567 | --"Did she see that she was dying? |
3567 | --"Did you kill a man?" |
3567 | --"Did you not choose him; why then can you not choose some one else to govern you? |
3567 | --"Did you tell him I wished him to pay 6,000,000 into your chest?" |
3567 | --"Do you imagine I do not think of it? |
3567 | --"Do you think I am to be deceived by these fair promises? |
3567 | --"Does not her conduct justify me in so doing?" |
3567 | --"General, have you proofs against him?" |
3567 | --"General, need I remind you that Louis, in his letter, guarantees the contrary of all you apprehend? |
3567 | --"General,"said I,"on what do you ground this assurance?" |
3567 | --"How came you to give your dog that name?" |
3567 | --"How so, you little rogue; do you mean to insult me?" |
3567 | --"How the devil should I know?" |
3567 | --"I do not know; but is this the time to think of such a thing, when the eyes of all France are fixed upon you? |
3567 | --"I, General? |
3567 | --"In May? |
3567 | --"Is he still at home?" |
3567 | --"May I presume to inquire what it is?" |
3567 | --"Nay, that is impossible."--"Why?" |
3567 | --"Not a hair has escaped me: what say you?" |
3567 | --"Oh no, it is worthless; what say you?" |
3567 | --"Sire, how can you imagine my mother is happy when she is absent from her country and her friends? |
3567 | --"Sire, my brother and myself had intended to settle in France, but how can we live in a country where our mother can not visit us?" |
3567 | --"Sire, will your Majesty permit me to repeat that my mother has no wish whatever to mingle in society? |
3567 | --"That is true, I certainly do not."--"Why?" |
3567 | --"Then surely you would not harm the man by whom it is signed?" |
3567 | --"Then why do you take the trouble to accompany me?" |
3567 | --"Then you do not know where he is gone?" |
3567 | --"Very badly, Sire."--"How? |
3567 | --"Well, Bourrienne, are you of the opinion that Moreau is innocent?" |
3567 | --"Well, Bourrienne, what do you say to it? |
3567 | --"Well, General, why not take means to obviate the mischief you foresee?" |
3567 | --"Well, then, why did you allow it to appear?" |
3567 | --"What am I to understand by that?" |
3567 | --"What can all this mean?" |
3567 | --"What did he say? |
3567 | --"What has Bourrienne done?" |
3567 | --"What is it, and on whose behalf?" |
3567 | --"What is it?" |
3567 | --"What is your name?" |
3567 | --"What is your objection to Desfournaux?" |
3567 | --"What were you doing in Paris?" |
3567 | --"What, sir?" |
3567 | --"What, would you part from her?" |
3567 | --"Where is Bourrienne?" |
3567 | --"Where is your mother?" |
3567 | --"Who was in company with you?" |
3567 | --"Whom have you seen in Paris?" |
3567 | --"Why should I be in uniform?" |
3567 | --"Why should I not? |
3567 | --"Why, General?" |
3567 | --"Will not your troops join me in an advance on Paris?" |
3567 | --"Will she like that?" |
3567 | --"Yes, Sire, she loved you, and she would have proved it had it not been for dread of displeasing you: she had conceived an idea."--"How? |
3567 | --"You believe that?" |
3567 | --''And who has not, Sire?'' |
3567 | --''But if I were to pardon you would you be grateful for my mercy?'' |
3567 | --''By whom were you sent? |
3567 | --''Did you intend to kill me then?'' |
3567 | --''Did you mean to attempt his life?''--''Yes.''--''Why?'' |
3567 | --''Does your Majesty suppose that I can bind myself by such an engagement? |
3567 | --''Have I done you any harm?'' |
3567 | --''How long have you been in Vienna?'' |
3567 | --''Is this the first time you have seen me?'' |
3567 | --''She will doubtless be much distressed at your adventure?'' |
3567 | --''What condition, Sire?'' |
3567 | --''What could I do?'' |
3567 | --''What did you intend to do with your knife?'' |
3567 | --''What do you mean?'' |
3567 | --''What does he say respecting the new regulation for the court- dresses?'' |
3567 | --''What is your father?'' |
3567 | --''Whose portrait is that which was found on you?'' |
3567 | --''Why did you wait so long before you attempted the execution of your project?'' |
3567 | --''Why did you wish to kill me?'' |
3567 | --''You are ill, then?'' |
3567 | --''You are mad, young man; you are one of the illuminati?'' |
3567 | --[Here Bourrienne says in a note"Where did Sir Walter Scott learn that we were neither seen nor recognised? |
3567 | --he exclaimed,"is it possible you can be guilty of such baseness as this? |
3567 | After pinching my ear and asking his usual questions, such as,"What does the world say? |
3567 | After reading the report, would you believe that the Emperor flew into a furious passion? |
3567 | After this, what more can be wanted? |
3567 | Against whom did Bonaparte propose to protect them? |
3567 | Am I no better than M. d''Artois? |
3567 | Am I not your comrade? |
3567 | Am I quite right?" |
3567 | Am I strong enough to overcome all those obstacles?" |
3567 | Am I then an advance- guard King?" |
3567 | Am I to trouble much longer the digestion of Kings?" |
3567 | And am I not ready to do so again?" |
3567 | And as to the third, can he find pleasure or honour in humiliation of his son- in- law? |
3567 | And at what a time did this disaster befall him? |
3567 | And patting his belly with both his hands,''Can a man,''he asked,''so fat as I am be ambitious?'' |
3567 | And then what title has the Chamber to demand my abdication? |
3567 | And was this not to be obtained? |
3567 | And who was Ney to charge? |
3567 | And why should he have done so? |
3567 | And, finally, what must be done with them when under the ramparts of that town, if we should be able to take them there? |
3567 | Apropos, Bourrienne, have you seen Corvisart?" |
3567 | Are not all the debts of the State sacred?" |
3567 | Are you in a hurry? |
3567 | Are you jesting with me? |
3567 | Are you satisfied? |
3567 | Are you satisfied?" |
3567 | Are you satisfied?" |
3567 | Are you then tired of peace? |
3567 | As M. de Stael advanced towards the Emperor the latter said,"Whence do you come?" |
3567 | As for me, have I not, I ask you, made sufficient advances to him? |
3567 | As he was an eyewitness, why does he not state the whole truth, and say that on her return Bonaparte refused to see her and did not see her? |
3567 | As soon as he entered the apartment in which Napoleon was the latter stepped up to him and said,"Well, how are things going on?" |
3567 | As we passed the Place Louis XV., now Louis XVI., he asked me what Napoleon was doing, and what my opinion was as to the coming events? |
3567 | At another time he would say,"Your dress is none of the cleanest..... Do you ever change your gown? |
3567 | At this period even Madame de Stael said, in a party where the firmness of M. Barbs Marbois was the topic of conversation--"What, he inflexible? |
3567 | Austria, Russia, and Prussia have all had a slice of the cake; when the match is once kindled who knows where, the conflagration may stop? |
3567 | Besides, what could be meant by the reasonable equivalent from England? |
3567 | Bonaparte inquired if some fairy were to offer to gratify all his wishes what he would ask? |
3567 | Bonaparte, is it possible you could suspect Bourrienne, who is so attached to you, and who is your only friend? |
3567 | Bonaparte, not knowing of the little step down into the room, slipped and nearly fell,"Where is Bourrienne?" |
3567 | Bonaparte, on seeing the pearls, did not fail to say to Madame,"What is it you have got there? |
3567 | Bourrienne, are we not old comrades? |
3567 | But are there no means of making them refund? |
3567 | But can a man of sound sense listen for one moment to such a doctrine? |
3567 | But for that I must have twenty years, and who can count on the future? |
3567 | But for this imaginary resistance, officially announced, how would it have been possible to justify the spoliations and exactions which ensued? |
3567 | But how can that fact be ascertained, since General d''Hautpoult was killed on that same day? |
3567 | But if there was duplicity at Vienna was there not folly, nay, blindness, in the Cabinet of the Tuileries? |
3567 | But is that case could I have expected more from him than from my own brother? |
3567 | But is there not some ground for suspecting the fidelity of him who writes or dictates his own history? |
3567 | But it may be said to me, Why should we place more confidence in you than in those who have written before you? |
3567 | But on which side is truth? |
3567 | But once more, what is there to fear? |
3567 | But tell me, what would you do if he were to return?" |
3567 | But under what pretext was the absence of the conqueror of Montebello to be procured? |
3567 | But what are men? |
3567 | But what can be done against illuminism? |
3567 | But what could Mallet do? |
3567 | But what did Napoleon himself say on the subject at St. Helena? |
3567 | But what does this signify to England? |
3567 | But what has been the result of this great political spoliation? |
3567 | But why did he wish to stamp false initials on things with which neither he nor his reign had any connection; as, for example the old Louvre? |
3567 | But why was it not addressed directly to me by Macdonald?" |
3567 | But why? |
3567 | But, even relying on his good faith, would be he able to keep his promise? |
3567 | But, on the other hand, did not the people evince decided obstinacy and insubordination? |
3567 | Can I confine him in the Temple? |
3567 | Can it for a moment be doubted that the principal agents of authority daily committed the most fraudulent peculations? |
3567 | Can not you stay a few minutes longer?" |
3567 | Can she not go to Rome, to Berlin, to Vienna, to Milan, or to London? |
3567 | Can the mercy which they have exercised even in the fury of battle be extinct in their hearts? |
3567 | Can there be a more evident, a more direct proof of this than the digging of the grave beforehand? |
3567 | Can there be anything in common between me and the refugees of Geneva?" |
3567 | Can you disbelieve in God? |
3567 | Can you endure to think of the dismemberment of our country?" |
3567 | Can you see how far reaction would extend?" |
3567 | Citizen, what say they of Bonaparte? |
3567 | Could I be Prefect of Police under a Minister whom a short time before I had received orders to arrest, but who eluded my agents? |
3567 | Could I doubt the truth of Bouvet de Lozier''s declaration, under the circumstances in which it was made? |
3567 | Could I foresee that he would deny his first declaration when brought before the Court? |
3567 | Could I suffer such open conspiracies against the Government? |
3567 | Could it be done? |
3567 | Could it ever have been imagined that the correspondence of the army, to whom he addressed this proclamation, teemed with accusations against him? |
3567 | Could justice, that safeguard of human rights, be duly administered in the Hanse Towns when those towns were converted into French departments? |
3567 | Could she make that sacrifice? |
3567 | Could there be a greater proof of the Consul''s horror of tyranny? |
3567 | Could they be incorporated, disarmed, with our soldiers in the ranks? |
3567 | Could we even tell what might occur during the march? |
3567 | Could we reasonably rely upon Austria? |
3567 | Could you believe for one moment that I would tamper with a magistrate in order to induce him to exercise an unjust rigour?" |
3567 | Could you believe that during the trial he went about clamouring in behalf of Moreau? |
3567 | Detain him? |
3567 | Did he do well? |
3567 | Did he talk of a divorce?" |
3567 | Did not all the Kings that I created act nearly in the same manner? |
3567 | Did she show courage?" |
3567 | Did she suffer much?" |
3567 | Did you ever know an instance of so important an announcement proving untrue after it had been published in the London Gazette? |
3567 | Did you ever know men rise by their own merit under kings? |
3567 | Did you say that the fools of the Faubourg St. Germain would multiply the copies of this protest of Comte de Lille? |
3567 | Do n''t you think we have not worked badly since that time? |
3567 | Do not I know what he did at Lyons and the Loire? |
3567 | Do you imagine that all those who came to flatter me were sincere? |
3567 | Do you know that you have all of you been the cause of my not following up the battle of Chebreisse? |
3567 | Do you know what passed when I took him aside? |
3567 | Do you not read them? |
3567 | Do you recollect the necklace?" |
3567 | Do you remember what you said to me in the Rue St. Anne nearly two years ago?" |
3567 | Do you suppose I am ignorant of what he said of me and of my vote at the National Convention? |
3567 | Do you suppose I am not acquainted with everything? |
3567 | Do you swear?" |
3567 | Do you think I am to be imposed upon by that word? |
3567 | Do you think I would have left you alone with a man like that? |
3567 | Do you think to overawe us by this? |
3567 | Do you wish to have an idea of their appearance? |
3567 | Does any one imagine that the Foreign Powers will be won over by fine words? |
3567 | Does he sulk at me? |
3567 | Does not every State creditor say the same of his debt? |
3567 | Does not this form a singular contrast with the patriotic munificence displayed at the death of General Foy? |
3567 | Education-- is it not? |
3567 | Feeling the cold air which came up the staircase he pressed my arm and said,''Are they going to put me into a dungeon?''" |
3567 | Finding me still alone with the sentinel, he asked me, smiling,"whether I had not been frightened?" |
3567 | Flattery? |
3567 | For whom did I fight at Bassano? |
3567 | Four years ago did I not with a feeble army drive before me hordes of Sardinians and Austrians, and scour the face of Italy? |
3567 | General, what security would you have?" |
3567 | Genevieve?" |
3567 | Grouchy, Ney, D''Erlon-- was there treachery or was it merely misfortune? |
3567 | Had he attached himself to me, I would doubtless have conferred on him the title of First Marshal of the Empire; but what could I do? |
3567 | Has he not been voluntarily chosen Prince Royal of Sweden; may he not also be raised to the same rank in France? |
3567 | Has not England sent assassins?" |
3567 | Has not Savary also eventually got his police? |
3567 | Have I agents in London to disturb the Government of Great Britain? |
3567 | Have I food for them?--ships to convey them to Egypt or France? |
3567 | Have I not always been contending either with domestic enemies or foreign foes? |
3567 | Have I not been wounded twenty times among you? |
3567 | Have I not shared your fatigues and privations? |
3567 | Have I positive and substantive proof of what I assert? |
3567 | Have I the giving of them? |
3567 | Have not some of the intriguers put it into his head that I regard him with jealousy? |
3567 | Have not the keys of Damascus already been offered me? |
3567 | Have the soldiers of liberty become executioners? |
3567 | Have they calculated upon the inevitable consequences of this abdication? |
3567 | Have they not actually consumed 75,000,000 in advance? |
3567 | Have you heard any bad news?" |
3567 | Have you not sacrificed everything to that ambition, even the happiness of France? |
3567 | He asked Antommarchi if 500 guineas would satisfy the English physician, and if he himself would like to serve Maria Louisa in quality of a physician? |
3567 | He asked me whether I would go with him? |
3567 | He asked, jestingly,"How it was that he frequently beat those who beat better players than himself?" |
3567 | He complained of being accused of ambition; and observing that I looked astonished and doubtful--''What?'' |
3567 | He considered victory to be a thing that was impossible, and even with a victory, what would have become of the expedition? |
3567 | He may have reported to you what he pleased, but could not I do the same by him? |
3567 | He merely said,''So you have seen Bourrienne? |
3567 | He never failed to ask whence they came? |
3567 | He one day said to me:"What gross stupidity, is this? |
3567 | He said:"The three armies, of the North, of the Rhine, and of the Sambre- et- Meuse, are to form only one, the army of Germany.--Augereau? |
3567 | He says that he made us Kings; but did we not make him an Emperor? |
3567 | He showed me this letter, saying,"What do you think of it? |
3567 | He then asked,"Was she long ill? |
3567 | He will not remain at Savona, and where does he wish I should send him?" |
3567 | Here Josephine again interrupted me by exclaiming,"My kind friend, when you spoke of children did he say anything to you? |
3567 | His favourite phrase, which was every moment on his lips, must not be forgotten--"What will history say-- what will posterity think?" |
3567 | How are your children? |
3567 | How can this be answered? |
3567 | How could he be otherwise? |
3567 | How could he have supported the establishment he did with only 15,000 francs of income and the emoluments of his rank? |
3567 | How could it be otherwise? |
3567 | How could it ever be said that the Directory"kept General Bonaparte away from the great interests which were under discussion at Rastadt"? |
3567 | How could it ever be said that the Duc d''Enghien perished as a presumed accomplice in the conspiracy of Georges? |
3567 | How could that Prince write to Bonaparte to offer him his services and to solicit the command of an army? |
3567 | How could you suffer such a snare to be laid for him? |
3567 | How do you think a man can make friends unless he keeps a good table? |
3567 | How does this declaration tally with his avowal, that if he had received the Prince''s letter he should have lived? |
3567 | How give credit to assertions so very opposite? |
3567 | How have they made their fortunes? |
3567 | How is this precipitation to be explained? |
3567 | How shall I be sure that you will not compromise other persons equally unjustly? |
3567 | How then should the news alluded to have escaped me? |
3567 | How was it that the name of the illustrious accused was not once mentioned in the course of that awful trial? |
3567 | How was she to wear a necklace purchased without her husband''s knowledge? |
3567 | However great Napoleon may have been, was he not also liable to pay his tribute to the weakness of human nature? |
3567 | I asked Josephine whether she wore out two hats in one day? |
3567 | I asked him to give me his word that he would do nothing against me; what do you think was his answer?" |
3567 | I at first refused my sanction to this measure; but after the charge made against him by Bouvet de Lozier, how could I act otherwise than I did? |
3567 | I had passed the evening of this day with M. de Talleyrand, who then observed to the Emperor Alexander in my presence,"Will you support Bonaparte? |
3567 | I have kept no memoranda of their names; and indeed, what advantage would there have been in doing so? |
3567 | I immediately recognised the Duc de Berry,''How, Monseigneur, is it you?'' |
3567 | I know well there are societies where it is said,"Is this blood, then, so pure?" |
3567 | I know what will be your answer; but are you not able to impose whatever conditions you may think fit? |
3567 | I made some observations on the subject, and in particular asked whether there were sufficient proofs of his guilt to justify his condemnation? |
3567 | I mentioned this to Bonaparte, and I immediately perceived by his hasty"What do you say?" |
3567 | I remember that one of his chief arguments was this:"What is it that distinguishes men? |
3567 | I replied,''do you imagine the nation will suffer a bastard to govern it? |
3567 | I sacrificed my home, abandoned my property, and lost everything for the Republic? |
3567 | I then asked him what he intended to do with the knife which had been found upon him? |
3567 | I was about to depart when Fouché; called me back saying,"Why are you in such haste? |
3567 | I was directed to answer,"The First Consul,"to the sentinel''s challenge of,"Who goes there?" |
3567 | I will suppose myself again victorious; but what should I do in London with an army diminished three- fourths and without the hope of reinforcements? |
3567 | I wished for the empire of the world, as who would not have done in my place? |
3567 | I wished that he would deny the attempt; but how was it possible to save a man who was determined to sacrifice himself? |
3567 | If I were to name you King of Spain would you accept the offer? |
3567 | If he was not so implicated, where is the proof of his guilt? |
3567 | If it admits it, what kind of predetermined result can that be which a simple resolution, a step, a word, may alter or modify ad infinitum? |
3567 | If the infected were removed, why not mention it? |
3567 | If, as Napoleon has declared, the young Bourbon was an accomplice in the crime, why was he not arrested at the time the others were? |
3567 | Immediately after Napoleon''s examination of the young fanatic he sent for M. de Champagny:"How are the negotiations going on?" |
3567 | In a few minutes Bonaparte entered, and taking up the pamphlet pretended to look through it:"Have you read this?" |
3567 | In what a tone of sincerity did he say to me one day, when returning from the parade,"Bourrienne, do you hear the acclamations still resounding? |
3567 | In what class am I placed? |
3567 | Indeed, what said article 5 of this law? |
3567 | Instead of giving an explanation of what he had said, he began to make fresh accusations; and against whom? |
3567 | Is Fortune to be again brought forward here? |
3567 | Is he ill?'' |
3567 | Is he not satisfied with being a King?'' |
3567 | Is he still here?" |
3567 | Is he the author?" |
3567 | Is history to be written from such documents? |
3567 | Is it astonishing that this obscurity and vagueness should have banished all confidence on the part of the Plenipotentiaries of the Allied powers? |
3567 | Is it believed that axioms in metaphysics, declarations of right, harangues from the tribune, will put a stop to the disbanding of an army? |
3567 | Is it not betraying Europe to introduce Asiatic barbarities into her disputes? |
3567 | Is it not criminal to bring foreign invasion upon a country? |
3567 | Is it possible that you disown me? |
3567 | Is it thus that you dare affront a Marshal of France who has bled for his country, and grown gray in victory? |
3567 | Is it, I ask again, is it while the enemy is in France that you should have done this? |
3567 | Is not Wright, who landed Georges and his accomplices at Dieppe, a captain in the British navy? |
3567 | Is there treason here? |
3567 | Is this the recompense you had in store for me? |
3567 | It must, however, be respected, for it had its source in love of their country; but, while we excuse it, can it be justified? |
3567 | It was impossible that the monarch could remain at the Capital, and yet, where was he to go? |
3567 | It was not so with the Prussian Commissioner, to whom he said duly,"Are there any Prussians in my escort?" |
3567 | It was speedily ascertained that the little advanced guard of the headquarters had not heard the"Qui vive?" |
3567 | It was then asked how we could, without that consent, have attempted such an enterprise? |
3567 | Let him sell his property and quit? |
3567 | Madame Bonaparte informed me that she had heard persons to whom Bonaparte expressed a desire to recall me observe,"What would you do? |
3567 | May I count on you? |
3567 | Medicine was really the only political fraud to which Josephine had recourse; and in her situation what other woman would not have done as much? |
3567 | Must Europe again be deluged with blood? |
3567 | Napoleon broke out,"Yea, that he may end in the same manner as that of Alexander? |
3567 | Napoleon said to the individual in question,''Well, does not the Prince regret leaving France?'' |
3567 | Napoleon would say,"why does she not ask me herself: is the girl afraid of me?" |
3567 | Napoleon''s countenance was so altered that the Marshal, struck with the change, said, as if it were involuntarily,"Is your Majesty indisposed?" |
3567 | Of these how many were for me? |
3567 | On Sunday, the 9th of May, Lucien came to see Madame Bonaparte, who said to him,"Why did you not come to dinner last Monday?" |
3567 | On coming into Napoleon''s presence he said,"What do you want, General?" |
3567 | On reading that a slight sneer was observable in his countenance, and he said,"What are these idiots dreaming of? |
3567 | On showing their warrant Fouché said,"What does this mean? |
3567 | On this rock? |
3567 | One day Napoleon said to Las Cases,"Your orthography is not correct, is it?" |
3567 | One day, after a long pause, he said to me:"Do you know what I am thinking of?" |
3567 | Ought I to have given it another King? |
3567 | Ought the representatives to reduce the Government to the necessity of being unjust and impolitic? |
3567 | Parbleu,"said Bonaparte,"that is Fouché?" |
3567 | Salicetti, you know me; and I ask whether you have observed anything in my conduct for the last five years which can afford ground of suspicion? |
3567 | She had asked him whether the tyrant was soon to pass that way? |
3567 | She loved me truly-- she-- did she not? |
3567 | She said to her father,"Would he too make me a prisoner before your eyes? |
3567 | Should the prisoners be set at liberty? |
3567 | Should they be embarked? |
3567 | Should they be sent into Egypt? |
3567 | Since the commencement of the Revolution, have I not always been attached to its principles? |
3567 | Since you and I separated have you heard them repeated?" |
3567 | Staps asked who Corvisart was? |
3567 | Tell him so if you see him again, But is it not my duty to bestow as much in charity as I can?" |
3567 | Tell me why you wish the Bourbons back? |
3567 | The Emperor has treated you unjustly; and to whom has he not been unjust? |
3567 | The Emperor put the following questions to Staps, which I translated, together with the answers:"''Where do you come from?'' |
3567 | The First Consul recollected him, and ordered him to be shown into his cabinet.--"What, are you here?" |
3567 | The master could have his minister hanged with public applause, and the minister could hang-- whom? |
3567 | The motives may be explained, but can they be justified? |
3567 | The six battalions of the division of Nimes want clothes, equipment, and drilling, say you? |
3567 | The treaty contained no stipulation dishonourable to Russia, whose territory was preserved inviolate; but how was Prussia treated? |
3567 | Then how oppose all the Austrian forces that will march to the protection of Vienna? |
3567 | Then, after a moment''s pause, he added, still addressing Macdonald,"Marshal, where shall I go?" |
3567 | Then, suddenly changing the subject of conversation, he said,''Have you not lately observed something extraordinary in Murat? |
3567 | There is no doubt of that, Sire; but because you are not liked in these two Courts, is it to be inferred that they would assassinate you?'' |
3567 | There is the Hotel de Noailles-- why do n''t you take it, and furnish it in proper style?" |
3567 | They wish to be citizens-- why did they not know how to continue so? |
3567 | This boasting might impose on those who did not see the real state of things; but what were we to think of it? |
3567 | This he might have said; but if he did so express himself, how are we to reconcile such a declaration with the statement of O''Meara? |
3567 | This is not what you will approve the most, but in my present situation what signifies it? |
3567 | This plan was all very well, but how was it to be put into execution? |
3567 | This resolution could have originated only with himself, for who would have dared to suggest it to him? |
3567 | This was from zeal, but was not the First Consul right in saying that such zeal was unfortunate? |
3567 | This was true; but how was it to be prevented? |
3567 | Thus, when I am mistrustful of myself I ask, should I have been treated so at the Tuileries? |
3567 | To England? |
3567 | To such arguments what could have been answered? |
3567 | To this he would not have failed to add,"Whose are the votes opposed to me? |
3567 | Twice have 24,000,000 of French called me to the throne: which of you durst undertake such a burden? |
3567 | Upon which the Consul angrily interrupted him, saying,"Do you think I am a mere capuchin? |
3567 | Vexed at receiving no satisfactory answer to his inquiries he called Rapp, and said,"Do you know, Rapp, where Bourrienne is?" |
3567 | Was I to abandon Holland to our enemies? |
3567 | Was I to be received by my old comrade of Brienne, or by His Imperial Majesty? |
3567 | Was Ney to be the one man to shoot down his old leader? |
3567 | Was Ney to deliberately kill his old commander? |
3567 | Was ever such an account of a dynasty given? |
3567 | Was it too abrupt a transition from the habits of the twelve preceding years? |
3567 | Was not the rapidity of the Emperor''s first operations a thing hitherto unprecedented? |
3567 | Was not this opinion of Bonaparte, formed on the past, fully verified by the future? |
3567 | Was there any other charge against him, or had calumny triumphed over the services he had rendered to his country? |
3567 | Was this possible? |
3567 | Was, then, the time for this innovation not yet arrived? |
3567 | Well, whom do you think I mean to appoint in his place? |
3567 | Were I to allow you to march out, what security can I have that you will not join them, and afterwards fight against me? |
3567 | What are you about? |
3567 | What can France do against you? |
3567 | What can he want? |
3567 | What can she want more? |
3567 | What could I do, Collot? |
3567 | What could I do? |
3567 | What could I do? |
3567 | What could I say to them? |
3567 | What could I say, what could I do? |
3567 | What could be more iniquitous than to attack me without a declaration of war? |
3567 | What could he achieve against the English in Portugal? |
3567 | What did Bernadotte do? |
3567 | What did I do? |
3567 | What do people say of that buffoon, Bonaparte?" |
3567 | What do these people owe me? |
3567 | What do you mean? |
3567 | What do you mean?" |
3567 | What do you think I did at the Temple? |
3567 | What do you think is the point his negotiations put most forward? |
3567 | What do you think of that, Bourrienne?" |
3567 | What do you want me to do with them?" |
3567 | What does all this flight of imagination mean? |
3567 | What does he desire of me?" |
3567 | What does it contain? |
3567 | What happened? |
3567 | What has been the result of the first war? |
3567 | What in the world can be more ridiculous than commercial laws carried out to one''s own detriment? |
3567 | What is a Christian dog to a Turk? |
3567 | What is nature? |
3567 | What is said about it in Paris?" |
3567 | What is said on the subject?" |
3567 | What is the result at present? |
3567 | What is the result of it? |
3567 | What mean the prayers and mysterious fasts you have ordered? |
3567 | What means were not employed to mislead the opinion of the public respecting Moreau? |
3567 | What might happen in the event of a battle before St. Jean d''Acre? |
3567 | What more could we do in Syria but lose men and time, neither of which the General had to spare? |
3567 | What now remains of Austerlitz? |
3567 | What resistance could it have opposed to the man destined to change the face of all Europe? |
3567 | What respect, indeed, could Bonaparte entertain for the applicants to the treasury of the opera? |
3567 | What right had he to call him"General"Bonaparte? |
3567 | What shall I gain by it? |
3567 | What should he have cared for the column which we beheld on our arrival in Alexandria had it not been Pompey''s pillar? |
3567 | What sort of a history would he write who should consult only the pages of the''Moniteur''? |
3567 | What sovereign can, without injuring himself, persecute me? |
3567 | What the devil am I to do, then?" |
3567 | What then are the feelings of your army?" |
3567 | What then remained for me to do? |
3567 | What think you I ought to do? |
3567 | What think you?" |
3567 | What think you?" |
3567 | What trade could possibly exist under the Continental system, and the ruinous severity of the customs? |
3567 | What was Bonaparte''s conduct? |
3567 | What was the consequence? |
3567 | What was the course pursued by Napoleon when, being at war with Russia, he wished to detach Sweden from her alliance with Alexander? |
3567 | What was the result of that memorable expedition? |
3567 | What was to be done? |
3567 | What will be the result of your conduct? |
3567 | What will become of poor France? |
3567 | What will become of us when you are gone? |
3567 | What would be said of so sudden a reconciliation? |
3567 | What would happen if the importation of these goods were absolutely prohibited in Hamburg? |
3567 | What would have become of me had I been in Verona on the Monday? |
3567 | What would have ensued? |
3567 | What would he do with me? |
3567 | What would she have done?" |
3567 | What would that language have been? |
3567 | What''s the meaning of this, madame? |
3567 | What, after all, was this new oath? |
3567 | What, in fact, was the Emperor Alexander''s situation with respect to France? |
3567 | What, in fact, was the population of these remnants of the grand Hanseatic League of the Middle Ages? |
3567 | What, therefore, do you expect me to do? |
3567 | What, under such circumstances, could have been expected even from a man gifted with great talents? |
3567 | What, who are you? |
3567 | When Bonaparte returned to his cabinet he said to Rapp,"Tell me, Rapp, why you left these doors open, and stopped with Bourrienne?" |
3567 | When I had examined it I said,"General, it has been due for a long time; why have you not got it paid? |
3567 | When I returned to the tent of the General- in- Chief he asked,"How is Caffarelli?" |
3567 | When I saluted the General, whom I had not seen for twelve days, he thus addressed me:"So you are here, are you? |
3567 | When I spoke in confidence to your brother, could I regard him as an inquisitor?" |
3567 | When do you think of setting out?" |
3567 | When he looked at them he said,"Here is money-- what is the meaning of this?" |
3567 | When shall we pay a visit to London with those brave fellows?" |
3567 | When the day''s work was done,"Let us see,"said Talleyrand;"what did Monsieur say? |
3567 | When we were alone the General said to me,"Well, what do you think of that?" |
3567 | Where did you get these pearls? |
3567 | Where had they disembarked, who had received them; what had been done with them? |
3567 | Where is he?" |
3567 | Where was your support-- your strength? |
3567 | Where were the ships?--Where could they be found? |
3567 | Where, then, would have been her navy, her trade and even her existence? |
3567 | While negligently rolling his balls about he muttered these words:''Do you ever see Bourrienne now?'' |
3567 | Who but a thorough Republican, the stanch friend of equality, would have done this? |
3567 | Who can assure us that that General had been able to communicate with the Marshal? |
3567 | Who could grant them? |
3567 | Who could have suggested to him such an act as this?" |
3567 | Who could help being intoxicated by so much enthusiasm? |
3567 | Who has not made a pilgrimage to Vincennes and dropped a tear where the victim fell? |
3567 | Who urged you to this crime?'' |
3567 | Who would believe it? |
3567 | Who would not suppose from this phrase that Napoleon had taken no part whatever in the great financial operation between Spain and South America? |
3567 | Who would suppose it? |
3567 | Who, in Heaven''s name, has not already inhabited this palace? |
3567 | Who, indeed, could be so blind as not to see that the ruin of the Continent would be the triumph of British commerce? |
3567 | Why allow her to have all the advantages of the first step? |
3567 | Why are you vexed at such trifles? |
3567 | Why be silent on so important an event? |
3567 | Why did he get Talleyrand to ask me for a passport? |
3567 | Why did he not apply for a passport as every one else does? |
3567 | Why did the cannon- balls spare me only to die in this deplorable manner? |
3567 | Why did they wink at the accumulation in the Tuileries of the contributions and exactions levied in, conquered countries? |
3567 | Why did you go and get into debt with that-----? |
3567 | Why did you not make your complaints in private to me? |
3567 | Why do you remain Minister of the Police if you wish to betray me? |
3567 | Why do you return with the First Consul? |
3567 | Why does he make himself a Neapolitan? |
3567 | Why is he not a Frenchman? |
3567 | Why not anticipate her? |
3567 | Why should I have dreaded it? |
3567 | Why should not France, if it ceases to be free, prefer the race of her ancient kings? |
3567 | Why should she wish to place herself immediately within the reach of my tyranny? |
3567 | Why should the Russians have the right of opposing destiny and thwarting our just designs? |
3567 | Why the devil, then, do you come to me for advice? |
3567 | Why then fight for a few paltry villages? |
3567 | Why then should it be put upon record? |
3567 | Why this silence? |
3567 | Why, in the devil''s name, have they served me thus?" |
3567 | Will you breakfast with me tomorrow morning?'' |
3567 | Will you send, for this purpose, your power of attorney to Baciocchi, or to whomsoever you think fit? |
3567 | With eyes burning with rage, he exclaimed in an excited voice,"Why have my orders not been executed?" |
3567 | With this conviction, would he have left the head apothecary in that town? |
3567 | Would it be believed? |
3567 | Would so long an interval have been suffered to elapse before he was arrested? |
3567 | Would they wish to proclaim in the face of the world that all they did was through fear? |
3567 | Would you believe it,"pursued Rapp,"that neither Murat nor Berthier said a word in reply? |
3567 | Would you believe it? |
3567 | Would you have dared to fire on me?'' |
3567 | Would you imagine it? |
3567 | Yet that is the way your grandfather defended Louis XVI..... As to the confiscation you speak of, what does that prove? |
3567 | Yet what was this liberty? |
3567 | You are a brave fellow-- I saw you at Aboukir-- how is your old father? |
3567 | You deceive me at St. Helena? |
3567 | You expect the Russians? |
3567 | You have never given credit to the horrid accusation?" |
3567 | You make remonstrances; is this a time, when the stranger invades our provinces, and 200,000 Cossacks are ready to overflow our country? |
3567 | You see to what a string of absurdities that will lead?" |
3567 | You talk of the future; but what will be the future fate of France? |
3567 | Your Majesty may convince yourself of it; would you without need expose the lives of so many men?" |
3567 | and then Napoleon much affected drew close to M. Horan, and added,"You say that she was in grief; from what did that arise?" |
3567 | are you not angry when at length the truth reaches your ear?" |
3567 | are you satisfied?" |
3567 | but why? |
3567 | carried off? |
3567 | continued Rapp,"what could I do? |
3567 | could he, as he asked, stop the sea with his hands? |
3567 | did he really say so?" |
3567 | did you venture so far?" |
3567 | do you not see that the Druses only wait for the fall of Acre to rise in rebellion? |
3567 | etc.,"he said to me,"By the by, have you attended the proceedings against Moreau?" |
3567 | exclaimed he,"does Chateaubriand think I am a fool, and that I do not know what he means? |
3567 | has calumny such powerful charms that, once they are submitted to, their yoke can not be broken? |
3567 | have I nothing but my cloak and my sword now?''" |
3567 | have you not got the Cross? |
3567 | he added,''have I accustomed them to such great victories that they knew not how to bear one day''s misfortune? |
3567 | he continued,''am I ambitious then?'' |
3567 | he exclaimed,"what is your opinion? |
3567 | he said,"Why was I not there to take my chance? |
3567 | how could you send me such reports as these? |
3567 | how many children they had, and who their husbands were? |
3567 | how?" |
3567 | is it not good?" |
3567 | is not now sitting opposite to you? |
3567 | is that all? |
3567 | nothing-- all authority is in the Throne; and what is the Throne? |
3567 | repeated Napoleon hastily,"and what is that something else?" |
3567 | said Bonaparte,"it is Chateaubriand''s book, is it? |
3567 | said the soldier,"why does he come with his diplomacy to such a devil of a country as this?" |
3567 | she used to speak of me then?" |
3567 | then a crime is nothing to you?'' |
3567 | to wish to hear that preface? |
3567 | was any general ever expected to undergo such a test? |
3567 | was it not in your power to let them escape?" |
3567 | were they not to blame in throwing stones at the guard, forcing the palisades, and even refusing to listen to the voice of the magistrates? |
3567 | what are you about?" |
3567 | what course they had sailed? |
3567 | what have we here? |
3567 | what is your opinion of it?" |
3567 | what ships they had met? |
3567 | what was their destination? |
3567 | what will become of us?" |
3567 | what will become of us?" |
3567 | who could then have foreseen that the duchy of Cambacérès would become the refuge of a Princess of Austria, the widowed wife of Napoleon Bonaparte? |
3567 | would you believe it? |
3567 | would you go with him?" |
33293 | A fancy price for my fancy? 33293 A long call, was n''t it?" |
33293 | A thing like that seems to sweep across life like a hurricane, does n''t it? 33293 About the marriage?" |
33293 | Admiration? |
33293 | Ah, Alban, how are you? 33293 Ah, well, what was the truth about it-- who can tell now? |
33293 | Alison''s? 33293 Am I so much the worse man of the two?" |
33293 | And Aunt Sarah? |
33293 | And I suppose that we adjourn--_sine die_? |
33293 | And Mr. Austin, too, will forget all about our little quarrel? |
33293 | And a gentleman? |
33293 | And are you going to write the notes and do the accounts yourself? |
33293 | And did all go smoothly with the clergyman''s family? |
33293 | And do n''t you think I''m the happiest man on earth? |
33293 | And if he has already decided against us? |
33293 | And it also seems to you that that would be very easy? |
33293 | And ought n''t she to apologize for driving restive horses? 33293 And perhaps I''m a bit too big-- and you''re hardly that yet, are you?" |
33293 | And she''s there, I suppose, is n''t she? |
33293 | And that sets fools gossiping, I suppose? |
33293 | And the mother? |
33293 | And what had she done? |
33293 | And what might n''t it be for my dear man who''s dead? |
33293 | And what was she like? |
33293 | And with you, too, I hope? |
33293 | And you ask me no questions? |
33293 | And you met her? |
33293 | And you were very meek and mild? |
33293 | And you''re loftily indifferent about Aunt Sarah? |
33293 | And-- er--''Chat''was governess at the Simpsons'', was she? |
33293 | Annoyed, is n''t he? |
33293 | Another row? 33293 Any news from the house?" |
33293 | Are even good things soiled if they are taken from that hand? |
33293 | Are they still there? |
33293 | Are we? 33293 Are you beginning to feel a little responsible? |
33293 | Are you dining with any other friends to- night? |
33293 | Are you free to come for a walk? |
33293 | Are you going to clear out for the Institute? |
33293 | Are you human? |
33293 | At five- and- twenty? |
33293 | At the Flower Show? 33293 Aunt Sarah''ll do the cursing-- but who cares for that?" |
33293 | Before the county? 33293 Before you give your answer?" |
33293 | Brave? 33293 Bribe-- and bully?" |
33293 | But confoundedly conceited? |
33293 | But did you come here only to say things like that? 33293 But does that make things any better?" |
33293 | But if one can afford a romance? 33293 But if she doesn''t-- if she need n''t?" |
33293 | But my father? 33293 But she need n''t hurry, need she? |
33293 | But so often against the results of it? |
33293 | But what are you going to do with him? |
33293 | But what will Mr. Octon say to that? |
33293 | But what----? |
33293 | But who''s going to live in it-- unless you are, Austin? |
33293 | But why should it be? |
33293 | But why? 33293 But you do n''t know perhaps how much I''ve made out of these marvelous books in the last four years? |
33293 | But you''ll accept his decision? 33293 But you''re set on it?" |
33293 | Ca n''t you really guess? 33293 Ca n''t you see-- can''t you understand?" |
33293 | Ca n''t you understand why I do this? |
33293 | Can you understand business? |
33293 | Changed her mind and come back sooner? 33293 Come in?" |
33293 | Come now, does your position interfere with your friendships? 33293 Could I persuade you to drop in, too, Mr. Dormer? |
33293 | Damn it, does she want Lacey for herself, after all? |
33293 | Depends a bit on the relative ages, does n''t it? |
33293 | Did Lacey bring the parson? |
33293 | Did he give you a card, Loft? |
33293 | Did he never see her? |
33293 | Did he say I was a scholar? |
33293 | Did he? |
33293 | Did it look so like it this afternoon? |
33293 | Did n''t he deserve to be deluded? 33293 Did n''t we agree that I was-- marriageable? |
33293 | Did she come alone? |
33293 | Did she love my father very much? |
33293 | Did she say anything about it herself? |
33293 | Did she tell you anything interesting about him? |
33293 | Did you get at Powers? 33293 Did you quarrel?" |
33293 | Do you agree with what these gentlemen say? |
33293 | Do you know a sandy- haired boy who wears a red cap and rides a girl''s bicycle? |
33293 | Do you know that this is a most exciting evening? |
33293 | Do you know where your father is? |
33293 | Do you know, Mr. Austin, you''re really rather handsome? |
33293 | Do you leave by an early train to- morrow? |
33293 | Do you live in the house? |
33293 | Do you mind if I come, too? 33293 Do you think I''m right in the determination I''ve come to about myself?" |
33293 | Do you think that Miss Driver would wish to receive a call from me? |
33293 | Does Miss Driver know this? |
33293 | Does he stay long? |
33293 | Does it really amuse you to play the fool just now? |
33293 | Does she mean to let the house? |
33293 | Does that explain anything else I''ve said? |
33293 | Does that gentleman come from Cheltenham? |
33293 | Even if one does n''t marry, it''s something to be marriageable, is n''t it? |
33293 | Father would have thought him dull and pompous, would n''t he? 33293 For her?" |
33293 | Friendship is surely mutual? |
33293 | From me? 33293 Get rid of him?" |
33293 | Gives me the best advice he can, speaking his mind honestly, without fear and in friendship? |
33293 | Going to stay? |
33293 | Got any tobacco and a drink, Mr. Austin? 33293 Grown up, of course, by now, is n''t she? |
33293 | Happy here? 33293 Has he such a bad character among you as that?" |
33293 | Has it Miss Driver''s approval? |
33293 | Have we any other business? |
33293 | Have you any objection? |
33293 | Have you any objection? |
33293 | Have you been here long? |
33293 | Have you got the card? |
33293 | Have you no care for what you love? |
33293 | Have you seen him since-- since the end, Austin? |
33293 | Have you? 33293 He does n''t know you''ve come here, of course?" |
33293 | He seemed to refer to-- Cheltenham? |
33293 | He was n''t at all a scholar himself, I suppose? |
33293 | He would have decided against it? |
33293 | He''s to live at Ivydene? |
33293 | Heavens, have I been making thrusts at you? 33293 Here?" |
33293 | His coming upset your brilliant idea? |
33293 | His snatching away the whip and breaking it-- isn''t that bad? |
33293 | How can it? 33293 How could you expect a girl to think about them in such circumstances?" |
33293 | How dare you say that? 33293 How did he look?" |
33293 | How did the-- the governor behave? |
33293 | How did they dare to be so malicious about her? 33293 How did you manage it?" |
33293 | How do you know she dislikes you, if you come to that? 33293 How does she know I dislike her?" |
33293 | How does she look? |
33293 | Hunting people, will they? 33293 I do hope she''s not distressed about this morning?" |
33293 | I go back with the promise of your neutrality? |
33293 | I hope Miss Driver is well? |
33293 | I hope you know that-- that he and I parted-- that day-- in a-- a friendly way? |
33293 | I hope you''re well, Mr. Austin? 33293 I say, I suppose you''re pretty well in the know up there, are n''t you?" |
33293 | I say, do you think Octon had a right to say that? |
33293 | I say, how long ought we to give the governor? |
33293 | I say, may I come over the day after to- morrow? 33293 I say, would n''t you like to see over it? |
33293 | I shall have to be? |
33293 | I suppose I seem to her-- and perhaps to you-- a very ineffectual person? |
33293 | I suppose you''re aware that you pay me four hundred pounds a year? |
33293 | I thought that perhaps Lacey would have told you about her? |
33293 | I wonder, Austin, whether you''re aware how matters stand between Miss Driver and my father? |
33293 | I''m afraid we must tell him our plans, Austin-- in strict confidence? |
33293 | I''m sure you do, but--I could not help blurting it out--"won''t her being here make matters worse?" |
33293 | I? 33293 If I use the road, and she comes back and finds me using it, where am I?" |
33293 | If he knows, what does it matter whether he finds me or not? 33293 If he wo n''t be dissuaded?" |
33293 | If there is no more, what was easier than to say so, to lay scandal to rest, to give an account of yourself? 33293 If you come to that,"said I,"are you going to stay either, Cartmell? |
33293 | If you''ve so much on your shoulders, why add even trifles? |
33293 | In fact you''ve--''walked out of the house''--? |
33293 | Is everybody tracking me? |
33293 | Is he going for good? |
33293 | Is n''t it a good deal too late to talk about that? 33293 Is n''t she just as charming as she looks?" |
33293 | Is n''t that beginning the story at the wrong end? |
33293 | Is n''t that rather severe? 33293 Is n''t that really rather interesting about Eleanor Lacey? |
33293 | Is she here? |
33293 | Is she to bear his name? |
33293 | Is that Miss Driver? |
33293 | Is that quite so essential? |
33293 | Is that the impression you get from her letter? |
33293 | Is that your estimable neighbor? |
33293 | Is-- is this really necessary? |
33293 | It ca n''t take very long, can it? 33293 It''s a perfect idea-- only I hope you would n''t mind turning out?" |
33293 | It''s not inconvenient? 33293 It''s rather an old coat, is n''t it?" |
33293 | It''s what he use to say to me himself three times a week? |
33293 | Jolly old place, is n''t it? |
33293 | Let the grizzly bear put on silk knee- breeches-- wouldn''t he look elegant? 33293 May I come into your house? |
33293 | Meant for a gentleman, perhaps? |
33293 | Miss Chatters? |
33293 | Miss Driver? |
33293 | Mr. Austin? 33293 Need you ask me, Octon? |
33293 | Nice little ones-- to suit a single man? |
33293 | No fit companion either, perhaps? |
33293 | No gentleman desires to say any more? |
33293 | No harm in that-- so long as it does n''t interfere with Margaret? |
33293 | No time for riding? |
33293 | Nor a gentleman? |
33293 | Nor give it grudgingly? |
33293 | Not even to God? |
33293 | Not much danger of the governor slipping up, is there? 33293 Now when shall it be? |
33293 | Of course I''d no business to say that to her-- but had n''t she been trying to draw me all the time? 33293 Off? |
33293 | Oh, that''s Gerald Dormer, is it-- the new man at Hingston? |
33293 | Oh, when I''ve so much on my shoulders, why do you worry me with trifles? |
33293 | Oh, you mean Margaret Octon? 33293 Oh, you''ve got a dinner- party to- morrow?" |
33293 | Or if he thought she meant to hit him? |
33293 | Or is Chat? |
33293 | Out of sight in moral qualities? |
33293 | Perhaps some of the preliminary work could----? |
33293 | Perhaps you might go so far as to admit that it is inevitable? 33293 Perhaps you told him that you wanted a bit of his land?" |
33293 | Perhaps you would n''t mind giving us five minutes to ourselves, Austin? |
33293 | Rabbit ca n''t have been a very amusing youth to walk home with in the gloaming? |
33293 | Seeing much of our friend Fillingford just now at the Priory? |
33293 | Seven- thirty, as usual? |
33293 | Sha n''t the girl have her chance? |
33293 | Shall I try to guess it? |
33293 | Shall it be Lady Jenny? 33293 Shall we get back from what is n''t in question to what is, Lord Fillingford?" |
33293 | Shall we go and beat up the governor? |
33293 | Shall we go inside? |
33293 | She attends church fairly often, does n''t she? |
33293 | She told you to say that? |
33293 | She''s going to pay you a visit? |
33293 | She''s straight as a die, is n''t she? 33293 Since he wrote you a letter, may I venture to ask--?" |
33293 | So you''ve found that out? 33293 Something gained for you?" |
33293 | Something out of me? 33293 Soon?" |
33293 | Speaking through you? |
33293 | Suppose the fairy godmother seemed not so very old herself-- that mischief proved attractive-- that----? |
33293 | Suppose you both marry-- or either? 33293 Sure, Mr. Austin, it''s time for the prizes?" |
33293 | Surely that''Besides''is superfluous, anyhow? |
33293 | Surely you''ve got plenty? 33293 That did n''t end so deuced happily, did it?" |
33293 | That he may have got-- what? 33293 That idea was entirely erroneous, I suppose? |
33293 | That would be very forgiving-- but hardly proper, would it, Chat? 33293 That''s the old lady with the fat horses, is n''t it? |
33293 | That''s why, is n''t it? 33293 The boy? |
33293 | The day after to- morrow? 33293 The end came easy, did it?" |
33293 | The good? |
33293 | The marriage coming off? 33293 The priest in his office? |
33293 | The time seemed so long till I came, did it? |
33293 | The whole road is n''t hers, is it? |
33293 | The woman? |
33293 | Then all she''s got-- the big place and the money-- the influence and so on-- wouldn''t attract you? |
33293 | Then are you alone here? |
33293 | Then what chance have we poor women? |
33293 | Then what happened at the Smalls, at Cheltenham? |
33293 | There was plenty of room? |
33293 | There''s not much more to say, is there? 33293 They''ll guess, wo n''t they?" |
33293 | Things begin to move directly I come back, do n''t they? 33293 This is a daughter? |
33293 | This is walking on a razor''s edge, is n''t it? |
33293 | Through all your doubles? |
33293 | To being robbed of their farms by deceitful wiles? |
33293 | To his own profit and comfort? |
33293 | To the station? |
33293 | To which Lady Aspenick----? |
33293 | Turned out? 33293 Unless Lord Fillingford is very obstinate?" |
33293 | Was I loyal to him that night we went to Hatcham Ford? 33293 Was it? |
33293 | Was that your idea of something civil? |
33293 | Was the Smalls and the Simpsons justice? 33293 We did n''t bring it off, I gather?" |
33293 | Well no-- you must n''t put it on the woman, must you? |
33293 | Well, I ca n''t go to him, can I? |
33293 | Well, I was in a scrape, was n''t I? 33293 Well, but it''s hardly reasonable to expect to have things both ways, is it?" |
33293 | Well, how have you all got on without me? |
33293 | Well, then, his daughter''s a Church- woman, is n''t she-- by the same excellent evidence? |
33293 | Well, then, when we''re alone? |
33293 | Well, what''s your own opinion about it? |
33293 | Well, you remember Hatcham Ford? |
33293 | Well? |
33293 | Well? |
33293 | Well? |
33293 | Were they friends? |
33293 | Were you so much attached to Fillingford Manor? |
33293 | What I hate about that fellow Octon-- Oh, I beg pardon-- isn''t he a friend of yours? |
33293 | What am I doing? |
33293 | What am I to work on? 33293 What are you thinking of?" |
33293 | What brought you here? |
33293 | What did he say? |
33293 | What did you say? |
33293 | What did you want to ask? |
33293 | What do you mean by that? |
33293 | What do you mean, Austin? |
33293 | What do you suspect me of now? |
33293 | What do you think of this, Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer? |
33293 | What does he say to give that impression? |
33293 | What does it matter then what I do? |
33293 | What has happened? |
33293 | What is there? |
33293 | What was happening between Lady Sarah and Powers all this time? |
33293 | What was her name? |
33293 | What will you call me? |
33293 | What''s Sir John Aspenick got to take on? 33293 What''s that got to do with it? |
33293 | What''s the good of hiding me? 33293 What''s the good? |
33293 | What''s the good? |
33293 | What''s the one little thing? |
33293 | What''s the other doing, Austin? |
33293 | What''s your opinion? |
33293 | What? |
33293 | When did she come? |
33293 | When did you see Octon? |
33293 | Where am I? |
33293 | Where are my roses? |
33293 | Where are you going to? |
33293 | Where are you going? |
33293 | Where''s she been all the while? |
33293 | Who is she-- besides me? |
33293 | Who said that? |
33293 | Who speaks now? |
33293 | Who told you that? |
33293 | Who''s been exercising the gentle art this afternoon? |
33293 | Who''s coming? |
33293 | Who''s stopping you? |
33293 | Who''s talking of romances? 33293 Who''s that pretty girl?" |
33293 | Why are n''t we proud of her, father? |
33293 | Why deliberate evil if I do? |
33293 | Why did n''t he go himself? |
33293 | Why did you wake up? 33293 Why do n''t you take a little holiday, and come back when things are settled?" |
33293 | Why do you tell him to go? |
33293 | Why do you want to come? |
33293 | Why does she do it? |
33293 | Why does she do it? |
33293 | Why not? 33293 Why should n''t she build an Institute? |
33293 | Why should n''t the child have her chance? |
33293 | Why to- day? 33293 Why? |
33293 | Will she care about being clever? |
33293 | Will you come? |
33293 | Wo n''t your friend come in, too? |
33293 | Would you like to see the gardens? |
33293 | Would you rather I went away for a bit? 33293 Yes, I will come-- I hope I know how to behave myself, do n''t I?" |
33293 | Yes? 33293 You ca n''t possibly mean that it''s this girl?" |
33293 | You can hold your tongue, Austin? |
33293 | You consider that Miss Octon''s feelings are deeply engaged in this matter? |
33293 | You do n''t mind my saying it? 33293 You do n''t want my help to- night?" |
33293 | You had a little secret understanding between yourselves? |
33293 | You know that house next to Hatcham Ford-- a new red house? 33293 You mean Mr. Alison? |
33293 | You mean to say Miss Driver does n''t tell you----? |
33293 | You must see that there are elements in this case which-- which make it a bit different? 33293 You really refuse to leave me, Austin?" |
33293 | You really think that? |
33293 | You really wo n''t go? 33293 You remember your promise? |
33293 | You remember? 33293 You think there''s a chance she won''t--?" |
33293 | You took Miss Driver home, Thompson? |
33293 | You will communicate with me, if necessary? |
33293 | You wo n''t let it be too long, will you? 33293 You would n''t expect him to have, would you? |
33293 | You''d convene a meeting? |
33293 | You''ll admit my compliments to- night have been terribly left- handed? |
33293 | You''ll come in, wo n''t you, if you hear me scream? |
33293 | You''ll give him the sack? |
33293 | You''ll look after Powers for me, wo n''t you, Austin? 33293 You''re going away?" |
33293 | You''re sure you do n''t mind, Austin? |
33293 | You''ve always thought of me as a bachelor, have n''t you? 33293 You''ve guessed something, Austin?" |
33293 | You''ve had a hand in this mischief, I suppose, Austin? |
33293 | You''ve had a wife all this time? |
33293 | You''ve made acquaintance? 33293 You''ve no special information?" |
33293 | You''ve not been there? |
33293 | You''ve nothing to add to your polite excuses? |
33293 | You''ve seen it, of course, Miss Driver? |
33293 | You''ve seen our poor Jenny-- the poor child? 33293 You, I suppose, have no business with him just now?" |
33293 | You, Mr. Austin? 33293 ''What are you going to do?'' 33293 ''Who''s it from?'' 33293 ''Why do you say that?'' 33293 ''You''ll go this evening-- to Breysgate?'' 33293 ( Did he unintentionally hint that some other things would not?) 33293 ( O Bindlecombe, what of your deceitful promises to spare them?) 33293 ( Was Chat also among the CÃ ¦ sars?) 33293 ( Were these the occasions on which she was rather late for supper-- without incurring Chat''s rebuke?) 33293 A voice came from above our heads:Jenny, are there any signs?" |
33293 | A woman profoundly humiliated in herself but resolute not to accept outward humiliation? |
33293 | A woman ready-- even determined-- to pay a great penalty for what she had done, but resolved to evade or to defy the obvious and usual penalties? |
33293 | After a long pause, which I had no inclination to break, she went on:"I daresay you wonder why I came back here?" |
33293 | Ah, dear serpent, what had you in your heart save to make your dove happy? |
33293 | Alison?" |
33293 | Alison?" |
33293 | All Lady Sarah said was,"Do you feel called upon to do as much as that?" |
33293 | All this in a very tiny corner? |
33293 | Am I to take orders from you-- my secretary-- my servant?" |
33293 | And Amyas?" |
33293 | And Miss Driver thinks this marriage desirable?" |
33293 | And a big settlement? |
33293 | And a heart somewhere? |
33293 | And explanations? |
33293 | And he himself judge of the sufficiency of the occasion? |
33293 | And if I told it, what would he say? |
33293 | And she meant that there never should be? |
33293 | And then-- how should I get on with the shrew? |
33293 | And was Jenny, with her bright eyes intent on Cartmell''s face? |
33293 | And was what he-- the other-- let you do justice either?" |
33293 | And what are we to do with Powers?" |
33293 | And what good does it do? |
33293 | And what of the Dormers? |
33293 | And what''s her new game? |
33293 | And what, after all, does a flick in the face come to, Mr. Philosopher? |
33293 | And why?" |
33293 | And yet you think you could--? |
33293 | And you think he referred to tact?" |
33293 | And you will see Mr. Cartmell about that business, wo n''t you?" |
33293 | And you''d have no pity for him either?" |
33293 | And-- one could not help asking the question-- what of Fillingford? |
33293 | And-- the thought flashed into my mind-- had he any knowledge of Fillingford''s frequent calls or of the dexterous management of Lacey? |
33293 | Anyhow, none of the trouble''s her fault, is it?" |
33293 | Are n''t you considerably premature?" |
33293 | Are there any? |
33293 | Are we going to be terribly busy in the immediate future?" |
33293 | Are you ever at home in the evenings?" |
33293 | Are you going to do anything about it?" |
33293 | Are you traitors? |
33293 | As far as the house, say?" |
33293 | As for threatening, why, how could I? |
33293 | As usual? |
33293 | As we drove in at the gates, she asked suddenly,"How am I to behave?" |
33293 | At any rate, my getting Oxley would annoy Lady Sarah, would n''t it?" |
33293 | At what hour to- morrow afternoon do you suppose that it would be convenient to her to receive me?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Austin?" |
33293 | Before many days were out, Catsford became one colossal"Why?" |
33293 | Being in a scrape does teach one to think, does n''t it? |
33293 | Besides why should n''t I give a chance to an old acquaintance rather than to a stranger? |
33293 | Bindlecombe was in no way reluctant, but opined that plans depended largely on site; must not the question of site be taken in hand simultaneously? |
33293 | Bluntly-- for which party was this a score? |
33293 | But I ca n''t stand still just because the Aspenicks have stood still for six hundred years, can I? |
33293 | But about your seeing her, Cartmell?" |
33293 | But do n''t you find her charming?" |
33293 | But do you always find it easy to explain yourself-- even to yourself, to say nothing of other people?" |
33293 | But had Powers been thinking of that? |
33293 | But had it come across her thoughts that, by divine chance, she might have to do neither? |
33293 | But he was honest and straight, upright and just, kind and----""Kind?" |
33293 | But he was kind to Margaret, was n''t he?" |
33293 | But how did you come to know that? |
33293 | But how do I threaten her?" |
33293 | But if he were resolved and she ready, why did the thing hang fire? |
33293 | But if that is your conclusion, Miss Driver, how does it fit in with your conduct?" |
33293 | But if you''d step inside-- perhaps just a little drop of Scotch, sir? |
33293 | But is Lacey to share the impression?" |
33293 | But is it fair to Lord Fillingford?" |
33293 | But it was preposterous to suppose that he ever would? |
33293 | But not a woman? |
33293 | But not very----?" |
33293 | But right or wrong, you would n''t have me beaten?" |
33293 | But shall I tell you your mistake? |
33293 | But then how could he-- he, the ostracized? |
33293 | But to see Alison with Margaret obliterated any criticism left possible by his affectionate nature and( may I add?) |
33293 | But to surrender the exercise and expansion of self? |
33293 | But was it an assurance of truth? |
33293 | But was it still open in any effective sense? |
33293 | But was the Borough Council going to refuse a hundred thousand pounds freely given for the borough''s benefit? |
33293 | But what''s the good?" |
33293 | But why had she let him in? |
33293 | But would n''t that be perfect-- after it all, you know?" |
33293 | But would she miss it? |
33293 | But you do n''t think I''d force her?" |
33293 | But you''ve heard? |
33293 | By the bye, are you very busy, or could you ride to- morrow?" |
33293 | CHAPTER XIV THE EIGHT- FIFTEEN TRAIN If Jenny were bound to see Leonard Octon that evening, why had she not sent for him to her own house? |
33293 | Ca n''t he let me alone still? |
33293 | Ca n''t you go a little further?" |
33293 | Ca n''t you hear that great big outrageous guffaw of his breaking out over it? |
33293 | Ca n''t you really see any difference between me as I am and the girl who came here a year ago? |
33293 | Ca n''t you understand this?" |
33293 | Can you tell me that, Austin?" |
33293 | Cartmell?" |
33293 | Cartmell?" |
33293 | Clear away obstacles and open the adit to profitable working? |
33293 | Could n''t ask more, could you?" |
33293 | Could n''t she help it? |
33293 | Could not all that grace and joy avail to blot out the name she bore? |
33293 | Could she not herself destroy even what she brought? |
33293 | Dare you do that-- with what there is lying between you and Lord Fillingford?" |
33293 | Day by day she must have debated"Shall it be to- morrow?" |
33293 | Did Lacey brave the disapproval of his family for nothing? |
33293 | Did Miss Driver of Breysgate Priory travel by night to London in that fashion? |
33293 | Did Octon smoke his pipe in Powers''s house and drink Powers''s whisky for nothing? |
33293 | Did he mean still to be in touch with Jenny, still to keep up communication with her-- a hold on her-- even though he went? |
33293 | Did her mood change-- or had the moment come for an artistic dissimulation? |
33293 | Did his humility, hardly less disagreeable than his insolence, disarm her wrath? |
33293 | Did my father ever come here?" |
33293 | Did my father mention him?" |
33293 | Did my melodrama alarm you? |
33293 | Did n''t he dare to trust himself-- was he so careful of his reputation? |
33293 | Did n''t you say that being marriageable was an asset-- even though one did n''t marry?" |
33293 | Did they? |
33293 | Did you see her? |
33293 | Do n''t you like Mr. Nelson Powers?" |
33293 | Do you believe that what they said was true?" |
33293 | Do you know that it was only with the bitterest fear that I agreed to marry Leonard himself? |
33293 | Do you know what I mean?" |
33293 | Do you mean me to answer that? |
33293 | Do you recognize any responsibility in yourself for that?" |
33293 | Do you remember how I came in first?" |
33293 | Do you think I could learn it now?" |
33293 | Do you understand that?" |
33293 | Do you understand what I''m at, when I say this?" |
33293 | Do you want me to go to him at the Manor?" |
33293 | Does n''t it stick in your throat a bit?" |
33293 | Does n''t our disposition determine our attitude to these things much oftener than our attitude is shaped by our opinions? |
33293 | Eminently marriageable? |
33293 | Even you ca n''t refuse that?" |
33293 | Feeling that, am I eager to marry Amyas Lacey? |
33293 | For a romance?" |
33293 | For ourselves?" |
33293 | Forty- three may not be senile, but would you call it ideal? |
33293 | Funny, was n''t it? |
33293 | Going? |
33293 | Had Jenny herself ever thought differently-- at least before that fatal night? |
33293 | Had he struck on that explanation for himself? |
33293 | Had he, Jenny?" |
33293 | Had she really made up her mind then? |
33293 | Had the prestige been brought to bear on Chat-- so that she was wholly his? |
33293 | Had to pay him something, I suppose?" |
33293 | Half chaffing her, half really wondering what she would be at, I asked,"Do you want Oxley Lodge for Margaret?" |
33293 | Has she broken faith or threatened anybody''s honor? |
33293 | Has she practiced deceit and betrayed trust? |
33293 | Have I any friends left?" |
33293 | Have n''t you read it? |
33293 | Have you been very bored?" |
33293 | Have you grown into an old bachelor? |
33293 | He looked down in my face as I sat in my arm- chair and then said,"You''ve heard, have n''t you?" |
33293 | He might even act on this view-- always without acknowledging it; surely Churches have been known to do that? |
33293 | He stopped you?" |
33293 | He told you the dreadful thing about it, too, did n''t he? |
33293 | He understood-- perhaps he was wrong-- that Mr. Driver usually reserved a power to break leases at the end of seven years? |
33293 | He wanted Fillingford Manor-- you remember, Sir John?" |
33293 | He winked at me, adding,"After all, it is n''t as if she had to buy Fillingford, is it?" |
33293 | He''d been made to feel the world his enemy when he was young; that must tell on a man, must n''t it?" |
33293 | He''ll be what I want-- and do you seriously mean to say that you think there''s any danger? |
33293 | How about some idea of-- the lesser evil? |
33293 | How am I to face Bindlecombe, eh? |
33293 | How could it be for good? |
33293 | How dare you? |
33293 | How did the stroke of fate leave her? |
33293 | How did you know?" |
33293 | How do you like the change from old Driver?" |
33293 | How in the world came she on Octon''s mantelpiece? |
33293 | How is that regarded at the Manor?" |
33293 | How should she? |
33293 | How was the animal liked?" |
33293 | How were these words given? |
33293 | How would it go? |
33293 | I carry my answer with me-- isn''t it so?" |
33293 | I could not judge how far that was true-- but that or something like it was surely what they called prestige? |
33293 | I fancy that he found it hard to forgive; was not Fillingford Manor gone forever? |
33293 | I gather that she can do as she pleases about that?" |
33293 | I had sooner have asked"For how long?" |
33293 | I have little doubt that you gathered from that conversation that I had had another idea in my mind?" |
33293 | I hope Lady Sarah is equally pleased?" |
33293 | I hope your trip was prosperous?" |
33293 | I hurried up here, Austin----""To annoy your neighbors-- knowing they were assembled here?" |
33293 | I know you think you have a right to say them-- but what''s the good?" |
33293 | I say, I suppose we might as well start?" |
33293 | I say, come this week-- while we''re by ourselves?" |
33293 | I suppose they''d never heard of me?" |
33293 | I suppose you''ll be wanting Overington next?" |
33293 | I think you knew pretty well the state of things then existing between Miss Driver and myself? |
33293 | I''m afraid she''s crying up in her own den-- and that''s not right for to- night, is it?" |
33293 | I''m all right-- you get out of your scrape in the best way you can?''" |
33293 | I''ve stood a good deal from you, have n''t I? |
33293 | If Powers could not afford to oppose her on the Committee''s work, could he afford any the more to thwart her in her private concerns? |
33293 | If Providence, or nature, or society makes a scheme of things, it is surely a merit in us poor units to fit into it? |
33293 | If he had been kind, why had I heard that wail? |
33293 | If he said that, what should I answer? |
33293 | If he were not the rose, yet--? |
33293 | If it''s a hundred thousand for an Institute, what might n''t it be for a whim, Miss Driver?" |
33293 | If that were her disposition now-- if what I had foreshadowed as a possibility had become a fact-- would Octon save her from the results of it? |
33293 | If you take a lease for only seven years, how are you aggrieved by getting notice to quit at the end of the term?" |
33293 | In order that the servants might not know, and spread the gossip among their friends in other households? |
33293 | Institutes as such, and all similar works, Octon hated-- why educate people who ought to be driven? |
33293 | Is he to go on coming to Breysgate? |
33293 | Is he to go on using your park?" |
33293 | Is it to be fatal to him that he was once unwise-- worse than unwise? |
33293 | Is it-- loyal-- to your father?" |
33293 | Is n''t he splendid, poor boy? |
33293 | Is n''t it only a burden on you?" |
33293 | Is n''t that rather rare?" |
33293 | Is n''t that what you want?" |
33293 | Is n''t this house big enough for the mite?" |
33293 | Is not the scene, too, something? |
33293 | Is she here?" |
33293 | Is she likely to die and leave you her property?" |
33293 | Is she no fit wife for a young man? |
33293 | Is that all?" |
33293 | Is that dreadful?" |
33293 | Is the beauty of it nothing to you?" |
33293 | Is there any news in the neighborhood?" |
33293 | Is there no more?" |
33293 | Is your father in?" |
33293 | It did-- and surely by Jenny''s will? |
33293 | It must be short for something?" |
33293 | It was Fillingford-- Would he meet Octon? |
33293 | It was headed"Catsford a Metropolis-- Why not?" |
33293 | It was not for me to argue the question with him; even if my tongue were free, why should I? |
33293 | It''d seem more natural the other way, would n''t it?" |
33293 | It''s a bore always to have to be setting to work to melt people, is n''t it?" |
33293 | It''s the people who in their hearts just don''t----""Care a damn?" |
33293 | Jenny copied the attitude of the pair on the terrace; she put her arm through mine and said with a laugh,"She is pretty, then?" |
33293 | Jenny listened with a happy smile, and then went on,"You want to know what I mean by my conduct? |
33293 | Jepps?" |
33293 | Late for business? |
33293 | Leonard did n''t mind defying either, did he? |
33293 | Let''s see, how long have you been with him?" |
33293 | Listen, do you hear hoofs?" |
33293 | Lord Fillingford, in return for your compliment, may I beg a favor of you?" |
33293 | Lunch to- morrow? |
33293 | Man, man, do you suppose I''m worrying about things like that?" |
33293 | Marriage may be a great thing, but I ca n''t think that marrying just to mend matters is anything very great and sacred, can you? |
33293 | May I introduce my friend, Mr. Dormer-- of Hingston?" |
33293 | Men would feel that way, would they?" |
33293 | Might I, in that way, have had a better chance of getting rid of Powers in the end? |
33293 | Might I-- oh, might I take a message to her room? |
33293 | Might not the dove be made bearer also of an olive branch, made a harbinger of peace? |
33293 | Miss Driver has mentioned my appointment?" |
33293 | Miss Driver, you say, was pleased?" |
33293 | Mr. Austin, will you kindly look after Mr. Octon''s comfort for the rest of the evening?" |
33293 | Mr. Bindlecombe''s my friend still?" |
33293 | Must I dodge for my life-- or for hers-- without even a civil word or look-- just an order from a flunkey?" |
33293 | Must she really recall Powers? |
33293 | My being in this park is against the law, is n''t it?" |
33293 | My roses are good enough for that lot, but I''m not, eh?" |
33293 | No? |
33293 | Not Miss Chatters?" |
33293 | Not a woman? |
33293 | Nothing goes beyond these walls-- neither to Fillingford Manor nor elsewhere?" |
33293 | Now she looked at him and asked briefly,"What follows?" |
33293 | Now what do you?" |
33293 | Now, if Mr. Cartmell must go, will you take me up?" |
33293 | Now-- how would he take it? |
33293 | Octon did not mind the hatred-- did Fillingford feel the lack of liking? |
33293 | Octon''s?" |
33293 | On the way home Margaret was silent for a while; then she asked,"Did Lord Fillingford know my father?" |
33293 | One who likes me, has my happiness at heart?" |
33293 | Or blow all the mine to ruins, and engulf the engineer in the_ dà © bris_? |
33293 | Or did you see him as he went away? |
33293 | Or done worse things still? |
33293 | Or if quiet perforce, why did he seem placid, content, and, contrary to all expectation of him, amiably trustful? |
33293 | Or is there, too, a true gospel of drawing in-- of renouncing? |
33293 | Or tea? |
33293 | Or would Jenny have been the slave? |
33293 | Or would she fall into one of her rages, bid them all go hang, and throw in her lot with boycotted Octon? |
33293 | Or, at all events, if ever entertained, is abandoned now?" |
33293 | Or, at any rate, from whom neither has been had? |
33293 | Or, on the other hand, was she not? |
33293 | Or, rather, leave her fame? |
33293 | Powers? |
33293 | Powers? |
33293 | Private faults-- how many? |
33293 | Rather straight of him, do n''t you think?" |
33293 | Reward him? |
33293 | Rusty? |
33293 | Shall we see if she can get it?" |
33293 | Shall you be here?" |
33293 | She came to me, laughing, and took hold of my hands:"But if I choose to have them both ways, sir?" |
33293 | She gave no sign, however, of taking my remark in that sense, unless any inference can be drawn from her saying,"Oh, he''s a widower?" |
33293 | She laughed again as she added,"Not even you can ask''On what?''" |
33293 | She looked up again:"He''s doing all right, but-- hadn''t Leonard better go?" |
33293 | She must bring memories with her-- of old wrong and old humiliation? |
33293 | She paused on the threshold, lifting her brows a little and smiling as she whispered,"Something uncomplimentary?" |
33293 | She raised her hands for an instant, as though in lamentation;"Oh, why is he like that?" |
33293 | She turned quickly on him:"In the end, what do you make of it?" |
33293 | She turned to me,"Do you mind waiting at the house a quarter of an hour? |
33293 | She was reasoning; the affair could not look dangerous; then it looked dull? |
33293 | She''d surely never marry him without settlements?" |
33293 | Should I easily marry another man now?" |
33293 | Sixteen and----""Hopelessly innocent?" |
33293 | Some day-- a ride? |
33293 | Some people like power-- I do n''t know whether a priest can understand that?" |
33293 | Some quoted CÃ ¦ sar''s wife-- when do they not? |
33293 | Somehow all this sounded a little bit unreal-- or, if not unreal, shall I say preliminary? |
33293 | Still I daresay you yourself sometimes think--? |
33293 | Suddenly, through the wall, I heard a wail-- surely I heard a little sob? |
33293 | Surely Jenny Driver might have known that her chance lay in having it all forgotten and-- and in being-- well, just the opposite of what she is now? |
33293 | Surely it is? |
33293 | Surely that was the truth-- and not merely the abortive parson talking again? |
33293 | THE GREAT MISS DRIVER CHAPTER I WHAT IS SHE LIKE? |
33293 | That was, surely, at least a permission to be near her? |
33293 | That"friendly glass"--what was its significance? |
33293 | That''s pronounced Charters, is n''t it?" |
33293 | The eleven- five, I suppose?" |
33293 | The girl-- I think her as charming as you do-- comes from nowhere and has, I suppose, nothing?" |
33293 | The one on the right of the north door, Amyas?" |
33293 | The way one would choose? |
33293 | The woman who brought Margaret Octon to Breysgate-- would she hesitate at capturing young Lacey if she could? |
33293 | Then he leaned forward and half- whispered,"You put your money on Fillingford?" |
33293 | Then she''d understand----?" |
33293 | There''ll have to be an inquest-- or something corresponding to it, I suppose?" |
33293 | There''s nothing else against her? |
33293 | This question of the road-- work on the Institute at a standstill-- no more parties at Breysgate( what of the Flower Show next summer?)! |
33293 | Thursday? |
33293 | To have that beautiful little creature treating one as a god-- who could refuse the incense, or not become devoted to the worshiper?" |
33293 | To keep Jenny out of mischief? |
33293 | To send them away on dictation-- would she do that? |
33293 | To what end? |
33293 | Verily the question"What is she like?" |
33293 | Very pretty?" |
33293 | WHAT IS SHE LIKE? |
33293 | Was a millennium to come when he was to lie down on Jenny''s hearthrug side by side with Octon? |
33293 | Was a present and immediate domination over even such as Powers essential to her content? |
33293 | Was he coming to her as Nathan came to David-- to denounce her sin? |
33293 | Was it being brandished before my eyes, to gain me also-- for what I was worth? |
33293 | Was it enough to account for her continuing to keep Fillingford at bay? |
33293 | Was it love? |
33293 | Was it mere chance that Ivydene was just opposite Hatcham Ford? |
33293 | Was it possible that Jenny, having lost the father, would annex the son? |
33293 | Was it wholly insincere? |
33293 | Was it? |
33293 | Was n''t that easy?" |
33293 | Was she a sensible young woman who would know a good secretary when she saw one? |
33293 | Was she here to make Octon unsay his determination? |
33293 | Was the exchange unfair? |
33293 | Was the inherited liking for"driving wedges"still in force? |
33293 | Was there much positive reason for that doubt yet? |
33293 | We shall see you again some day soon?" |
33293 | Well, I must do something with my life, must n''t I-- and with all this money?" |
33293 | Well, now, how do you do, sir? |
33293 | Well, perhaps you could-- who knows?" |
33293 | Were we wrong? |
33293 | What a man-- or woman-- is in worldly relations, is n''t he apt to be in regard to religious affairs? |
33293 | What about Cartmell''s letter?" |
33293 | What are yours?" |
33293 | What brings you to Catsford?" |
33293 | What character have you except what I choose to give? |
33293 | What could I do against you, Miss Driver?" |
33293 | What did she say to you?" |
33293 | What did you want to marry him for? |
33293 | What do you make of all that, Austin?" |
33293 | What do you mean by a friend? |
33293 | What do you think he meant by that, Austin?" |
33293 | What else should it be? |
33293 | What had Chat meant that she tried to do? |
33293 | What had I seen while the mask was off? |
33293 | What happened?" |
33293 | What have you against her, Mr. Alison? |
33293 | What have you been thinking about?" |
33293 | What have you got to do with Alison these days?" |
33293 | What if he beat down the natural weapons-- and ignored the rest? |
33293 | What is one''s way? |
33293 | What is the Table of Weights? |
33293 | What was she thinking now-- when the night was past? |
33293 | What was the meaning of it? |
33293 | What was the truth of it? |
33293 | What was to be done about this now? |
33293 | What would they make out of these contradictory attitudes of the dual personality? |
33293 | What''s she taking me on the terrace for?" |
33293 | What''s the event?" |
33293 | What''s the good of a lot more? |
33293 | What''s the use of being rich?" |
33293 | What, Miss Driver?" |
33293 | When I''ve tried to make her love me-- and-- and she does?" |
33293 | Where are you going?" |
33293 | Where does his view lead? |
33293 | Where have you left her?" |
33293 | Where shall I go?" |
33293 | Where to?" |
33293 | Where was he to fit in, what part was he to play? |
33293 | Who cherishes a friend from whom there is neither profit nor pleasure to be had? |
33293 | Who could bear a grudge against that simple joyfulness, who resist that unconscious pleading for oblivion? |
33293 | Who could say that Fillingford himself would not do as, in fact, he had done, and go to Breysgate on receipt of her letter? |
33293 | Who''ll employ you if I wo n''t? |
33293 | Whom had she been waiting for? |
33293 | Why I make Fillingford Manor unhappy, and all my neighbors mad with curiosity?" |
33293 | Why am I to seek unhappiness, to seek fearfulness, to create misery? |
33293 | Why did n''t you give her more room?" |
33293 | Why did n''t you give me room?" |
33293 | Why did you ask me that question, Austin?" |
33293 | Why do n''t they spell''em that way, or else let it alone?" |
33293 | Why do n''t you like my poor Institute?" |
33293 | Why early possession-- and five hundred paid for it? |
33293 | Why is this pretty nearly as bad as the other?" |
33293 | Why not say young Lacey at once?" |
33293 | Why not wait a little? |
33293 | Why should Octon''s coming have anything to do with it? |
33293 | Why should he have talked about his dead wife and his young daughter to ears that cared not a straw about either of them? |
33293 | Why should n''t I employ him? |
33293 | Why should not Jenny come home? |
33293 | Why the devil should my father be so interested in Powers? |
33293 | Why was Leonard Octon keeping quiet? |
33293 | Why, after all, should he worry about reading books? |
33293 | Will Powers speak-- and lose his livelihood? |
33293 | Will you come back to dinner?" |
33293 | Will you drop in on the exile and smoke a pipe now and then after dinner?" |
33293 | Will you find me anywhere that is not a corner, please? |
33293 | Will you permit me to pass to the other point you mentioned-- that of your son''s interest?" |
33293 | With such ability and such self- confidence what need had she of my presence? |
33293 | With whom?" |
33293 | Wo n''t you tell your son what you would do if you were in his place?" |
33293 | Worldly Wiseman?" |
33293 | Would he believe it and go home peacefully-- to face Lady Sarah''s angry scorn and the doubts of his own perplexed mind? |
33293 | Would n''t a good scolding from you----?" |
33293 | Would n''t that do for us? |
33293 | Would you like to?" |
33293 | Yet what? |
33293 | Yet where the difference in principle? |
33293 | You came here, Mr. Alison, to tell me that I was not a fit wife for Lord Fillingford''s son?" |
33293 | You do know that?" |
33293 | You do n''t know if she''ll be here to- morrow?" |
33293 | You do n''t suppose I liked doing it?" |
33293 | You know that; but is it kind to presume on it, to push me too far just because you know I like you?" |
33293 | You mean about that miserable Powers?" |
33293 | You must be glad, in the end, that you did n''t stay?" |
33293 | You remember that little spar we had?" |
33293 | You saw me bow to her?" |
33293 | You saw me in Catsford? |
33293 | You saw us three walking together? |
33293 | You saw what happened? |
33293 | You split the tree; do n''t you blunt the wedge in time, too?" |
33293 | You were about to tell me what you thought about it?" |
33293 | You''ll ask them to give you a glass of beer, wo n''t you?" |
33293 | You''ll be happy here for a bit longer?" |
33293 | You''ll come, of course? |
33293 | You''ll go for me, Austin?" |
33293 | You''ll not dissuade him?" |
33293 | You''re not hurried?" |
33293 | You''re sure I can be of no use? |
33293 | Your father''s at the Priory now?" |
33293 | as he inquired bluntly,"Does your father say anything about your mother?" |
33293 | she told Fillingford with a sudden turn toward him, followed by a lively blush-- how came her interest in those chimneys to be so great? |
20627 | A discard? 20627 A real wedding, you say? |
20627 | A swell chance I''ve had to tell you anything, ai n''t I? 20627 A-- a what?" |
20627 | A-- a what? |
20627 | A-- a which? |
20627 | About that Rowley proposition? |
20627 | Ah, thanks,says he,"North exit, did you say? |
20627 | Ai n''t goin''so soon, are you,says I,"without breakin''a few more hearts?" |
20627 | Ai n''t that it? |
20627 | Ai n''t they some birds? 20627 Ai n''t you the foxy pair, though? |
20627 | Ai n''t you? |
20627 | All of it? |
20627 | Almost a description of me, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Always? |
20627 | Am I the guy? |
20627 | And Aunty, I trust,goes on Mr. Robert,"is as well as usual?" |
20627 | And I might add, Torchy, that one of those most interested is a near relative of a certain young lady who----"Aunty? |
20627 | And I presume you understand just what that means? |
20627 | And a youth known as Torchy? |
20627 | And all the other stores like this-- how many of them have you? |
20627 | And did n''t she have sort of droopy shoulders,I goes on,"and a trick of starin''vague, with her mouth part way open?" |
20627 | And did n''t you bring me my meals three times a day for four mortal weeks? |
20627 | And is n''t it thrilling? 20627 And it had n''t been opened for ever so long, you say? |
20627 | And one''s parents too? |
20627 | And there was something queer about-- about your family, was n''t there? |
20627 | And unless you''re achin''to start somethin'', why not let me handle this''Who the blazes are you?'' 20627 And what is this precious corporation of which I''m supposed to be the head?" |
20627 | And what''s the name? |
20627 | And where do you think you''re going, you and your Arabella? |
20627 | And you ai n''t startin''out on this expedition with both arms roped behind you, are you? |
20627 | And you want someone to make up your mind for you, eh? |
20627 | And you''ve been out since daylight? |
20627 | And your folks moved up there later, eh? |
20627 | And yours? |
20627 | And-- and this store too? |
20627 | Another procrastinating producer? |
20627 | Any hitch? |
20627 | Any new quotations in sculpture? |
20627 | Anybody callin''for me? |
20627 | Anything else to- day? |
20627 | Anything else? |
20627 | Anything more, Madam? |
20627 | Anything on him when you rounded him up? |
20627 | Anything you''re likely to recover from? |
20627 | Are n''t you the one they called-- er---- What was it you were called? |
20627 | Are you looking for me? |
20627 | Are you quite certain, however, that Verona would like it too? |
20627 | Are you? |
20627 | As an open show? |
20627 | As best man,he goes on,"we appoint you general manager of the whole affair; do n''t we, Elsa?" |
20627 | As office boy, still? |
20627 | As saintly as ever? |
20627 | Ask him where this guy was buttling,--in a bank,says I,"or at the Subtreasury?" |
20627 | Asked him, have you? |
20627 | Aunty told me to wait, did n''t she? 20627 Aunty''s planned to have the S. R. O. sign out on my evenin''s, ai n''t she?" |
20627 | Back here? |
20627 | Ballard? |
20627 | Been over long? |
20627 | Before you get the final word from us? |
20627 | Blue which? |
20627 | Both feet Methodists, eh? |
20627 | Both knees on the rug and the reg''lar conservatory nook wilt- thou- be- mine lines? |
20627 | But I did n''t dream,says Mr. Robert,"that you ever did anything so-- er----""Commonplace?" |
20627 | But I presume some of them are able to help you? |
20627 | But I presume that you hope to retire very soon? |
20627 | But I was hoping that perhaps you might---- Come, Torchy, has n''t it occurred to you that I would hardly come as an utter stranger? 20627 But how do you know, Vincent, that I''m one of the reg''lar staff and not canvassin''for something?" |
20627 | But how should I know if someone has wished a life income on you? 20627 But how was it, anyway, that Mr. Robert got himself in wrong with you?" |
20627 | But how? |
20627 | But if one has no home? |
20627 | But if she has n''t? |
20627 | But if you could get the wad back? |
20627 | But just where, Robert,she demands,"is this absurd affair to take place?" |
20627 | But suppose he could be coaxed into tellin''where the loot was? |
20627 | But this raisin''a fam''ly tree comes high, do n''t it? 20627 But what about the_ Balboa_? |
20627 | But what has that to do with it? |
20627 | But what then? |
20627 | But what''s the good,I goes on,"if you ca n''t make other folks see you''ve got a good thing?" |
20627 | But where? 20627 But you do n''t want him walking out here, do you?" |
20627 | But you found out, did n''t you? |
20627 | But you''re certain Miss Hampton is the one, are you? |
20627 | But-- but how did you know? |
20627 | But-- but whom are you describing? |
20627 | By the way,I goes on,"who''s he sendin''out with the Nash work-- Gedney Nash''s, you know?" |
20627 | Ca n''t do anything with who? |
20627 | Ca n''t those things be taken out? |
20627 | Ca n''t we suspend the rules and regulations for once? 20627 Can you?" |
20627 | Case of the cat comin''back, eh? |
20627 | Chop it, ca n''t you? |
20627 | Come, Helma, you''ll go with us, wo n''t you? |
20627 | Cook? |
20627 | Corns, or backache? |
20627 | Could n''t he have an umbrella? |
20627 | Could n''t you get me in on that affair, Bob? |
20627 | Could you put it a little simpler? |
20627 | Cousin Philip, eh? |
20627 | Did I have opinions at twenty- two? |
20627 | Did I? |
20627 | Did n''t I see you stowin''that away in one of your desk pigeonholes yesterday? |
20627 | Did n''t I tell you you''d do better by drapin''it over a chair back? |
20627 | Did n''t think I''d been banished for life, did you? |
20627 | Did n''t you look at me long enough and steadily enough to remember? 20627 Did she hand you one?" |
20627 | Did you ever hear anything so batty? |
20627 | Did you get any hint as to what was so funny about all that? |
20627 | Did you hear that, Zenobia? 20627 Did you know that we held a big block of your M., K.& T.''s? |
20627 | Did you pull it? |
20627 | Did, eh? |
20627 | Did-- did you ever? |
20627 | Did-- did you say-- Torchy? |
20627 | Do I pick up one casual along the road? |
20627 | Do I understand,he goes on,"that one of my cards went with those roses?" |
20627 | Do n''t happen to have a lock of her hair with you? |
20627 | Do n''t you ever take a sportin''chance yourself? |
20627 | Do n''t you remember,--Woodie Wiggins? |
20627 | Do we look it? |
20627 | Do you have relays of''em? 20627 Do you know where Elsa Hampton is at this minute? |
20627 | Do you open for the defense, or do I? |
20627 | Do you really mean it? |
20627 | Do you? |
20627 | Do you? |
20627 | Do-- do you think I ought? |
20627 | Does my niece know just how humble a position you occupy? 20627 Doris?" |
20627 | Dummy concern mostly,says I,"faked up to stall off the I. C. C.""Eh?" |
20627 | Eh, Sister? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eloped, have they? |
20627 | English, ai n''t you? |
20627 | Er-- won''t you sit down? |
20627 | Ever do much with municipal franchises,--trolleys, lighting, that sort of thing? |
20627 | Ever hear that one? |
20627 | Excuse me if I seem to crash in,says I,"but was that a gust of superheated air, or did you mean it?" |
20627 | Federated? |
20627 | Ferdie, could you help tie in a reef? |
20627 | Five hundred feet up? |
20627 | Found something to eat, did you? 20627 From what-- chilblains on the ears?" |
20627 | From what? |
20627 | Funding, eh? |
20627 | Get from under, eh? 20627 Get out of my house before I-- I----""Oh, I say,"breaks in Gilkey,"before you do what?" |
20627 | Go aboard what, I''d like to know? |
20627 | Goin''to call? |
20627 | Got the same old nerve with you, eh, Whitey? |
20627 | Guess we''ve started something, eh? |
20627 | Handed out rough sometimes, ai n''t it? 20627 Have n''t I pitied the poor victims who had to go through with it? |
20627 | Have n''t gone aboard yet? |
20627 | Have we got to the wrong place? |
20627 | Have you? |
20627 | He is n''t here, is he? 20627 He''ll be waitin''for the closing quotations, wo n''t he? |
20627 | He''ll tell, then? |
20627 | He''s goin''to be a missionary too? |
20627 | He''s got all the earmarks of a reg''lar invited guest, ai n''t he? |
20627 | Her? |
20627 | Home or church? |
20627 | How about Nelson? |
20627 | How about a dominie? |
20627 | How about his weak points? |
20627 | How about swappin''what you know for two tickets to Australia? |
20627 | How did you do it? |
20627 | How did you get in here, Sir? |
20627 | How do I stand here in the Corrugated? 20627 How should I know?" |
20627 | How''d you guess I wa''n''t the new District Attorney? |
20627 | How''d you guess? |
20627 | How''s that? |
20627 | How? |
20627 | How? |
20627 | I beg pardon, Sir? |
20627 | I beg pardon? |
20627 | I do n''t expect you''d want to part with that face shrubbery, or have it landscaped into a Vandyke, eh? |
20627 | I expect you''ve talked this all over with her father, eh? |
20627 | I rather thought from what Helma said you''d been to see her that night? |
20627 | I recall your skates-- those funny old wooden- topped ones, were n''t they? |
20627 | I suppose you would like to hop- skip- and- jump down to the altar? |
20627 | I thought you was down at the Springs? |
20627 | I trust that you begin the day with a deep conviction of sin? |
20627 | I trust you remember me? |
20627 | I wonder if I''ve got time to work up some scheme of puttin''the skids under him? |
20627 | I wonder would he give me a few lessons, in case I should run across your Aunty some day? |
20627 | I''d be a hot substitute along that line, would n''t I? |
20627 | I''ve never taken up a passenger, though; but I''ve thought that----"Then why not now? |
20627 | I-- I beg-- oh, it''s you, Torchy, is it? |
20627 | I-- ah-- I beg pardon? |
20627 | I-- er-- I beg pardon? |
20627 | If I ever had the luck to get that far,thinks I,"would I have to go through any such an act with Aunty? |
20627 | If it wa''n''t,says I,"what would be the fun in tellin''it to you?" |
20627 | If she wa''n''t,says I,"why should he keep the folder?" |
20627 | In funding? |
20627 | In some other store, perhaps? |
20627 | In the Hollow, was n''t it? |
20627 | Inside what? |
20627 | Is it straight,says I,"about her and Blair?" |
20627 | Is it true about the work papers, Sir? |
20627 | Is it, though? |
20627 | Is n''t Ferdinand here, then? |
20627 | Is n''t he brutal? |
20627 | Is n''t it wonderful? |
20627 | Is n''t she bully? |
20627 | Is n''t this glorious? |
20627 | Is she in, Cephas? |
20627 | Is that an island somewhere,says I,"or just a mixed drink?" |
20627 | Is this going to be a long- distance tryout,says I,"with you reportin''for inspection every other Tuesday?" |
20627 | Is this romance, or business, then? |
20627 | Is this the niece you mentioned? |
20627 | Is-- isn''t she all right? |
20627 | It wa''n''t a case of another party, was it? |
20627 | It was silly of me, was n''t it? 20627 It''s Sukey, is n''t it?" |
20627 | It''s all right, is it? |
20627 | It''s for a sufferer-- isn''t that enough? |
20627 | It''s really quite a game, is n''t it? |
20627 | It''s you, is it, Torchy? 20627 Joey Billings? |
20627 | Just because I''m behind the ground glass instead of the brass rail do n''t make me a sacred being, or you a lobbygow, does it? 20627 Just how?" |
20627 | Just you and Verona? |
20627 | Katie, eh? |
20627 | Keepin''your car in the Sound, are you? |
20627 | Know of any fads of his? |
20627 | Know the party, do you? |
20627 | Know which is Mr. Piddie, do you? |
20627 | Kyrle, you know what you promised when you told me you''d make up with Martha? 20627 Let me see,"goes on Aunty, squintin''foxy at me,"you are employed in Mr. Ellins''s office, I believe?" |
20627 | Let''s see,says Nutt,"what is your specialty? |
20627 | Let''s see,says Zenobia,"Dick and the girl ran off and were married, were n''t they?" |
20627 | Listens like a case of circumstances over which---- But where did you pick up that trick of speakin''of coppers as bobbies? |
20627 | Little Verona? 20627 Lives here, does n''t she?" |
20627 | Make in there against this head wind? |
20627 | Make''em-- say, ai n''t that some life- sized order? |
20627 | Martha, eh? |
20627 | May I go with you? 20627 Maybe I got a customer on the general staff, ai n''t it?" |
20627 | Maybe there''s nobody but Miss Vee downstairs? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Me? |
20627 | Met her at Mrs. Astor''s, I expect? |
20627 | Mine? |
20627 | More or less the worse for wear, Arabella, eh? |
20627 | Most of''em are fine,says I, glancin''over the slip;"but who''s this W. T. Wiggins with no address?" |
20627 | Mr. Richard Taber Ballard? |
20627 | Mr. Robert Ellins, then? |
20627 | My good man,says she,"have n''t I seen you somewhere before?" |
20627 | Not anywhere? 20627 Not intending any adverse criticism of the young lady, I trust?" |
20627 | Not meaning me, I hope? |
20627 | Not really? |
20627 | Not the Adam K.''s place, Cedarholm? |
20627 | Not twenty thousand cash? |
20627 | Nothin''startlin''in the mornin''run, eh? |
20627 | Notice the two gents I was just talkin''with,I goes on,"specially the savage- lookin''one with the framed lamps? |
20627 | Now do n''t you wish you''d gone and had your feet educated? |
20627 | Now how does this go? |
20627 | Now we have done it, have n''t we? |
20627 | Now what in blazes was that? |
20627 | Now, Sir,says Vee,"how are you going to hold your cup?" |
20627 | Now, young man, what further details would you like? |
20627 | Now? |
20627 | Of course, it''s sweet to be picked out this way; but it''s a little sudden, ai n''t it? 20627 Off the gate for good, am I?" |
20627 | Oh, I know where you stand, all right,says I;"but ai n''t you drawin''it a little strong? |
20627 | Oh, I say, Bob,he breaks out, after a few preliminary joshes,"who do you suppose I ran across up in the Fitz- William palm room the other night?" |
20627 | Oh, I say,says he,"is n''t that the same fellow she danced with before?" |
20627 | Oh, but is n''t it a beauty? |
20627 | Oh, do you? |
20627 | Oh, is it true? |
20627 | Oh, is it? |
20627 | Oh, it''s you, is it? |
20627 | Oh, yes,says he, sort of languid,"Torchy, is n''t it?" |
20627 | Old Loppy carryin''the book yet? 20627 On a fish- face like that?" |
20627 | One of Miss Vee''s, ai n''t it? |
20627 | One of these fam''ly ringmasters, is he? |
20627 | One of your front- row friends from the Winter Garden? |
20627 | Only I must n''t let them put me in a home; for then I could n''t go with Daddums when he came out-- you see? |
20627 | Or an old watch- dog aunt, eh? |
20627 | Our old friend Ananias, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Pardon me if I seem to hint,says I,"but what''s the matter with brother- in- law Ferdie and Marjorie, with Vee and me thrown in for luck?" |
20627 | Pardon me, Sir,says Ballard,"but did n''t you cross with me on the_ Lucania_ once? |
20627 | Pardon me,says he,"but before we go any further just how much of that rubbish do you mean to transcribe?" |
20627 | Perhaps you attended the same school? |
20627 | Perhaps you would like to present a minority report? |
20627 | Perhaps,says she,"you do n''t mind telling me the reason for this masquerade?" |
20627 | Please, Sir,says she,"where does one go when one is tired?" |
20627 | Promoted, eh? |
20627 | Quit the one thing I can do best? 20627 Rather an odd coincidence, is n''t it?" |
20627 | Really,says she,"I had not considered that it would be necessary----""Eh?" |
20627 | Really? |
20627 | Ring for him, will you? |
20627 | Roses? |
20627 | Rowley,I goes on,"what size collar do you wear?" |
20627 | Safe? |
20627 | Same side of the table,says I,"or opposite?" |
20627 | Sans- which? 20627 Say, Bright Eyes,"says I, pushin''a dollar at her,"take this and ditch that tea stuff for a minute, ca n''t you? |
20627 | Say,I shouts to my aviatin''friend,"how do we get to her?" |
20627 | Say,I sputters out,"ai n''t there room for two?" |
20627 | Say,I suggests,"you ai n''t goin''to lead me in by the ear, are you?" |
20627 | Say,says I,"you-- you ai n''t my reg''lar uncle, are you?" |
20627 | Secret entrance, eh? |
20627 | See here, Son, how long do you think I''ve been plugging at this thing? 20627 See, Torchy?" |
20627 | Shall we drink just once to the memory of it? |
20627 | Shall we try the secret door? |
20627 | She''s one of the discards, eh? |
20627 | Showed him what? |
20627 | Slippin''him a check? |
20627 | So that accounts for the nervous motions, eh? |
20627 | So you returned after all that, did you? |
20627 | So you were trying to pose as Uncle Bill, were you? |
20627 | So you''re no longer an office boy, eh? 20627 Some cute, eh?" |
20627 | Some prize Orpingtons, did I understand? |
20627 | Sorry,says I,"but as he''s very busy he asked me to----""And who, pray,"snaps the old girl,"are you?" |
20627 | Stay in the same house with that man? |
20627 | Still alive, is she? 20627 Still on East 14th Street, eh?" |
20627 | Such as you''ve got in your inside pocket eh? |
20627 | Suppose I get you the correspondence on that? |
20627 | Suppose we circle the block once or twice, while I tear off a few Sherlock Holmes thoughts? |
20627 | Suppose you happened to get her? 20627 Tell me, Honey,"says she,"what is dear old Marjorie''s hubby like?" |
20627 | Tell who? |
20627 | That August night, eh? |
20627 | That Gilkey guy? |
20627 | That Miss Hampton again? |
20627 | That about Grebel? 20627 That bein''the case,"says I,"it''s lucky you ran into me, ai n''t it? |
20627 | That one, eh? 20627 That stunning young woman with the copper- red hair whom you introduced at Palermo?" |
20627 | That was goin''some for Zenobia, was n''t it? 20627 That''s the easiest thing you do, ai n''t it,"says I,"bein''nice to folks that ai n''t used to it?" |
20627 | That''s the main idea; is n''t it, Elsa? |
20627 | That''s their programme, is it? |
20627 | That? |
20627 | That? |
20627 | The Morley Beckhams? |
20627 | The chairman of the Stock Exchange? |
20627 | The mouth breather? |
20627 | The night before? |
20627 | The one at the far end? |
20627 | The question seems rather, what would she do with me? 20627 The real thing in high finance, eh?" |
20627 | The tango factory? |
20627 | The way some of them Wall Street plutes shrink from bein''made richer is painful, ai n''t it? 20627 The what?" |
20627 | The which? |
20627 | The_ Balboa_? 20627 The_ Balboa_?" |
20627 | Them reporters do get things straight now and then, do n''t they? |
20627 | Then his best is n''t very wonderful, is it? |
20627 | Then it''s a clear case with both of you, is it? |
20627 | Then it''s all off with the heathen, eh? |
20627 | Then they pinched you on the premises? |
20627 | Then where? |
20627 | Then why are n''t you wearing your hat also, Torchy? |
20627 | Then why do n''t he---- By the way, just where is Daddums? |
20627 | Then why take such chances as this? |
20627 | Then you did n''t know me? |
20627 | Then-- then shall we do it? |
20627 | Then-- then you need n''t have bothered to come yourself, need you? |
20627 | Then-- then your name is Wiggins? |
20627 | There ai n''t clusters of''em, are there? 20627 They are?" |
20627 | Think I''m a fathead? |
20627 | Think I''m going to spend the rest of the season sitting on a veranda taking pills, do they? 20627 Think you could find it for me, Torchy? |
20627 | Think you could find it? |
20627 | Think you would n''t like it, eh? |
20627 | Think you''ve got your schemes so they''ll work? |
20627 | To see me? |
20627 | To what? |
20627 | Torchy, is n''t it? 20627 Torchy,"says he,"are you a patron of the plastic art?" |
20627 | Unless,suggests Vee, droppin''her long eyelashes coy,"you were not too stupid to think of----""Say,"I breaks in,"gimme that number again, will you? |
20627 | Wa''n''t that pulled off the day you waited for that Duluth delegation to show up, just after Easter? |
20627 | Was he? |
20627 | Was it Gilkey made his entrance through the cucumber frame? |
20627 | Was it jew''lry that was missin'', or what? |
20627 | Was it just her way of handin''you the blue ticket? |
20627 | Was it kind of ginger- colored,says I,"and done in a braid round her head?" |
20627 | Was n''t he just splendid,says she:"standing up to Mr. Pulsifer that way, you know?" |
20627 | Was, eh? |
20627 | We take back the pooh- poohs, eh? |
20627 | We''ll find out all about it later; wo n''t we, Torchy? |
20627 | We''re sailing almost on edge, are n''t we? 20627 We?" |
20627 | Well, Son,says I,"what does Mother call you?" |
20627 | Well, what of it? |
20627 | Well, what''s the trouble now? |
20627 | Well, would n''t that crimp you? |
20627 | Well, young man? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Well? |
20627 | Were n''t you a waitress at the Lakeside Hotel last summer? |
20627 | Wh- a- a- at? |
20627 | Wh- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | Wha- a- at? |
20627 | What about Aunty? |
20627 | What about these Universal people refusing to renew that Manistee terminal lease? |
20627 | What could be fairer than that? |
20627 | What do you hear, now? |
20627 | What does Pa Pulsifer have to say to this defi? |
20627 | What have you in your lap, Child? |
20627 | What is it, anyway? |
20627 | What is it? |
20627 | What is it? |
20627 | What is it? |
20627 | What kind of a Peruvian dialect is this? |
20627 | What now? |
20627 | What on earth do you mean? |
20627 | What original? |
20627 | What sort of a delegation is this? |
20627 | What station do you run from, Sport? |
20627 | What the hyphenated maledictions are you doing there? |
20627 | What then? |
20627 | What you got special against our burg here? |
20627 | What you shushin''about? |
20627 | What young man? |
20627 | What''s it for? |
20627 | What''s that? |
20627 | What''s that? |
20627 | What''s the game? |
20627 | What''s the joke? |
20627 | What''s the programme, anyway? |
20627 | What''s up? |
20627 | What? 20627 What?" |
20627 | Whatever have you been saying to Aunty now? |
20627 | Whatever made you think of that? |
20627 | When does it come off? |
20627 | When does the rest of the chorus come on? |
20627 | Where did he come from? |
20627 | Where did you have breakfast and luncheon? |
20627 | Where do I go to send a telegram? |
20627 | Where is Old Hickory? |
20627 | Where is she? |
20627 | Where was all this? |
20627 | Where''s Robert? |
20627 | Where, did you say? |
20627 | Where? |
20627 | Where? |
20627 | Where? |
20627 | Who can they be? |
20627 | Who cares? 20627 Who is here?" |
20627 | Who is the poor man who knew her once but does n''t any more? |
20627 | Who was it sprung that tale about his being a big English crook? 20627 Who''d you pinch the invite from?" |
20627 | Who''s her lawyers? |
20627 | Who''s next? |
20627 | Who, me? |
20627 | Who? |
20627 | Whose car is that? |
20627 | Whose man? |
20627 | Why did n''t you tell me before, Torchy,says she,"that you had such a perfectly grand name as all that?" |
20627 | Why not sail right in there, look Father between the eyes, and hand that line of dope out to him as straight as you gave it to me? |
20627 | Why not stand pat? 20627 Why not?" |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why the big weeps? |
20627 | Why the intense surprise? |
20627 | Why throw the harpoon so hasty when he was doin''his best? |
20627 | Why, Sis,says I sort of quizzin'',"what''s the matter with home?" |
20627 | Why, this must be some----"Eh? |
20627 | Why,says I,"not so well as I was a couple of minutes-- er-- that it''s a fine, spiffy afternoon, ai n''t it?" |
20627 | Why,says he,"the fact is, young man, I-- er-- see here, it''s Zenobia Hadley, is n''t it?" |
20627 | Why-- er-- what''s the matter? |
20627 | Why? 20627 Why?" |
20627 | Why? |
20627 | Will it? |
20627 | Will you have lemons too? 20627 With a lady, eh?" |
20627 | With mustard? |
20627 | With two or three more,says I,"you could form a perfectly good mob, could n''t you?" |
20627 | With you, eh? |
20627 | Would it matter to you who owned it,says I,"if you wanted to use it bad?" |
20627 | Would n''t that be-- er-- rather a serious breach of office discipline? |
20627 | Would you be disappointed if I was? |
20627 | Would you insist on my being manicured too? |
20627 | Would you? 20627 Ye- e- es?" |
20627 | Yes, Sir? |
20627 | Yes? |
20627 | You ai n''t springin''any tea- pourin''stunt, are you? |
20627 | You and Doris, eh? |
20627 | You are not a drinking man, are you? |
20627 | You did n''t get all those livin''in London, did you? |
20627 | You did n''t quit at that, did you? |
20627 | You did n''t say who he was, did you? |
20627 | You do n''t know''em, do you? 20627 You do n''t mean that a real sure- fire like you could be shunted that way? |
20627 | You do n''t think I''m springin''any prima donna whim, do you? 20627 You do n''t think a bunch of works like that could be twins, do you?" |
20627 | You do n''t want Marjorie grumpin''around for the next week, do you, wishin''she''d gone, and layin''it all to you? |
20627 | You had tea for breakfast too, did n''t you? |
20627 | You have n''t your cigars, have you? 20627 You heard, I suppose?" |
20627 | You knew Dick very well, did n''t you? 20627 You manage to make a living at this sort of thing, I suppose?" |
20627 | You mean ditch the gabby talk? 20627 You mean pinched?" |
20627 | You mean that she-- that if----"Say,I breaks in,"do you want it straight from a rank amateur? |
20627 | You play the violin, do n''t you? |
20627 | You think it may end the agony? |
20627 | You will, wo n''t you? |
20627 | You''d be scoutin''up here at this time of day after a ten- dollar commission, would n''t you? |
20627 | You''ll be gettin''wise to all the inside deals now, eh? |
20627 | You''re introducin''what? |
20627 | You''ve never found anything better to do,she goes on,"than-- than this?" |
20627 | You''ve no family, I trust? |
20627 | You, Ellins? 20627 You, eh?" |
20627 | You-- you ai n''t the one that left me with Mother Leary, are you? |
20627 | You-- you did n''t open the act by goin''to a clinch, did you? |
20627 | You-- you do n''t believe he took the money, do you? |
20627 | You-- you do n''t mean Miss Billings? |
20627 | You-- you do n''t, eh, you young scamp? |
20627 | You-- you wanted me to know first, did you? |
20627 | You-- you----? |
20627 | You? 20627 Young man,"says he,"have n''t I seen you somewhere before?" |
20627 | Young man,says he,"whose idea was it, taking you off the gate?" |
20627 | Your son? |
20627 | ''Ca n''t you look somewhere else-- at the ceiling, or out of the window?'' |
20627 | ''Could I have a warm plate?'' |
20627 | A charter, was n''t it? |
20627 | Ah, blushing, are you? |
20627 | Ah, what for would we be kidnappin''a remnant like you? |
20627 | Ah-- er-- what''s that note of theirs? |
20627 | Ai n''t that all reg''lar? |
20627 | Ai n''t there a store down near Fulton Market where we could buy a sample?" |
20627 | Always have to cart your gas down this way?" |
20627 | And Zenobia now, is she-- er-- a good deal like her sister?" |
20627 | And as I watches him swing jaunty through the door I remarks under my breath to nobody in partic''lar:"Uncle Bill, eh? |
20627 | And class? |
20627 | And could you find out for me when we organized General Transportation?" |
20627 | And how was I goin''to deliver that message to Vee? |
20627 | And if I might be permitted to add a bottle or two of cold St. Louis----""Do you think I keep house without an icebox?" |
20627 | And if he ever forgets just how merry, for a dime he can go take a look and refresh his mem''ry, ca n''t he? |
20627 | And if that was how the case stood, with Edna longin''for him, and him yearnin''for Edna, why should n''t they? |
20627 | And is old Connolly chief down there still?" |
20627 | And it''s surprising ai n''t it, what a lot of information you can sop up when you do the sponge act in earnest? |
20627 | And now that you''ve brought him, may I hear what your young friend has to say, all by myself?" |
20627 | And solemn? |
20627 | And the reception? |
20627 | And then, grabbin''him by the sleeve as he''s backin''off, I whispers,"What''s the disguise, Skeet?" |
20627 | And this last--''Teg morf rednu''? |
20627 | And was Larkin playin''penuchle? |
20627 | And were n''t you thick with Dick Ballard?" |
20627 | And what do you guess is Mrs. Pulsifer''s openin''as we drifts back towards the scene of the late conflict? |
20627 | And what''s a neck more or less? |
20627 | And why, please?" |
20627 | And would Miss Vee?" |
20627 | And yours, please, Sir?" |
20627 | And, by the way, what schedule are you runnin''this on,--doors open at when?" |
20627 | And-- er-- just leave that terminal lease, will you? |
20627 | And-- say, had n''t I seen them ruddy cheeks and that gray hair and them droopy eyes before? |
20627 | Any ambitions in that direction?" |
20627 | Anyway, you can give me a line on-- on my folks, I suppose?" |
20627 | Are any of them girls?" |
20627 | Are you certain?" |
20627 | Are you comin''or goin''?" |
20627 | Are you on?" |
20627 | Are you ready? |
20627 | Are you ready?" |
20627 | Are your intentions serious?" |
20627 | As for me? |
20627 | Ask your man who''s on the case?" |
20627 | Away from his mother?" |
20627 | Ballard?" |
20627 | Bright? |
20627 | Briscoe?" |
20627 | Broad, did you say?" |
20627 | Bully morning for a flight, is n''t it?" |
20627 | Busy? |
20627 | But about the roses, now?" |
20627 | But are n''t there any other men around?" |
20627 | But he can deliver the goods, ca n''t he? |
20627 | But here''s another: What do you do when you meld a hundred aces, say?" |
20627 | But if I think he''s bilkin''you on this, is it my play to sit behind and chew my tongue?" |
20627 | But it would be great sport to---- Say, Bob, who''s going to be there-- anyone special?" |
20627 | But suppose I am simply trying to avoid the-- the Romeo stuff, as you put it?" |
20627 | But that hits Miss Vee''s aunt rather heavily, does n''t it? |
20627 | But this other dope,"Teg morf rednu?" |
20627 | But what do you think? |
20627 | But what is melding? |
20627 | But what must she think of Robert? |
20627 | But what shall we do?" |
20627 | But what then? |
20627 | But what''s the use? |
20627 | But who''s the Peevish Priscilla here, that''s so tickled to see me come in she has to turn away to hide her emotion?" |
20627 | But why not see Father and tell him about it? |
20627 | By the way, is Miss Vee in?" |
20627 | CHAPTER XIII SIFTING OUT UNCLE BILL Things happen to you quick, do n''t they, when the happenin''is good? |
20627 | Ca n''t we lose a mast or so without gettin''panicky? |
20627 | Ca n''t you smell the sulphur?" |
20627 | Call that quitting, do you?" |
20627 | Can it be that Miss Verona is on the point of returning from somewhere or other?" |
20627 | Can you guess why?" |
20627 | Can you not conceive then that it might be somewhat humiliating to me to know that my maids suppress a smile as they announce-- Mr. Torchy? |
20627 | Charmed to accept''? |
20627 | Come now, ai n''t you as strong for Miss Hampton as ever?" |
20627 | Could I take him into the libr''y?" |
20627 | Could he? |
20627 | Could you have guessed it? |
20627 | Course I ai n''t sayin''they''ll spring any gunplay right in the house; but-- why, what''s wrong, Skeet?" |
20627 | Cut sugar, did you say, Madam?" |
20627 | Cute idea, eh? |
20627 | Debenture six''s, ai n''t they? |
20627 | Did I? |
20627 | Did I? |
20627 | Did he ask for Mutual Funding?" |
20627 | Did n''t I hand it to her, though? |
20627 | Did n''t I know who was there? |
20627 | Did n''t I tell someone to attend to that? |
20627 | Did n''t I tell you to bend your thumbs? |
20627 | Did n''t you tell me to go as far as I liked, so long as I made it merry?" |
20627 | Did they? |
20627 | Did we win Ruby? |
20627 | Do n''t it hit you foolish the first time, though? |
20627 | Do n''t tell me you''ve just bought the estate?" |
20627 | Do n''t they pass it out that way in plays and magazines? |
20627 | Do n''t you recall I was disagreeable enough to ask you not to watch me eat?" |
20627 | Do n''t you see?" |
20627 | Do you accept the position?" |
20627 | Do you wonder I stands gaspin''on the curb until after they''ve turned the corner? |
20627 | Do you wonder she quit? |
20627 | Do you wonder? |
20627 | Does Pa Pulsifer rant any more rants? |
20627 | Does he? |
20627 | Does it work? |
20627 | Does she wait to be hunted up and rescued? |
20627 | Does that sink in? |
20627 | Dorsett?" |
20627 | Eh, Bob? |
20627 | Eh, Bob? |
20627 | Eh, Torchy? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh? |
20627 | Eh?" |
20627 | Eh?" |
20627 | Ellins?" |
20627 | Ellins?" |
20627 | Ever ask him where he delivers the Nash business?" |
20627 | Ever cruise around much on them Long Island branch lines? |
20627 | Ever in the Tractions Buildin''? |
20627 | Familiar with the place? |
20627 | Ferdie, ca n''t you think of some way?" |
20627 | Fin''lly Uncle Kyrle remarks:"You had your little niece with you then, did n''t you?" |
20627 | For a second she stands there fingerin''her rings fidgety, and then remarks unexpected:"It''s about Doris, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Funny how you can work out of a scare that way, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Get me?" |
20627 | Get me?" |
20627 | Get that, do you? |
20627 | Get the idea?" |
20627 | Go on, Torchy, think of some more, ca n''t you?" |
20627 | Going, are you? |
20627 | Had Grebel gone out to lunch? |
20627 | Had he glanced at the halftone without recognizin''her? |
20627 | Has Marling of Chicago been called up yet?" |
20627 | Has it ever occurred to you, however, that you may have failed to get my point of view? |
20627 | Have n''t I warned you never to step foot in my house again? |
20627 | Have you any suggestions?" |
20627 | Have you ever told her?" |
20627 | He''s bein''bowed in dignified by the same butler, and is passed on to-- well, it''s a funny world, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Hot time he picked out for it, did n''t he, with me here in the condemned cell? |
20627 | How about it?" |
20627 | How about patronizin''this?" |
20627 | How could that be?" |
20627 | How did you get in here?" |
20627 | How frisky a few freak clothes make you feel, do n''t they? |
20627 | How much? |
20627 | How near did they come to doin''the slope?" |
20627 | How was that?" |
20627 | How?" |
20627 | I expect I can resign now?" |
20627 | I guess we''ve known each other too long for that, eh?" |
20627 | I have a few Orpingtons on my place; but-- oh, by the way, Ellins, are these really intended for me?" |
20627 | I love riding, do n''t you? |
20627 | I only gave you the usual get- busy line, and if you went and----""Was n''t there some advice,"he breaks in,"about using my arms?" |
20627 | I presume, however, that you came on some errand of importance?" |
20627 | I say, would you mind paddling around and giving me a shove off?" |
20627 | I suppose that was why I took my chance when I did, why I----""Kyrle Ballard, you''ve finished your sandwich, have n''t you?" |
20627 | I take it you want to unload as much of this plaster junk as you can? |
20627 | I want first to---- Where is Miss Hampton, Torchy?" |
20627 | I want to ask you, Mrs. Ull, if I may marry Doris?" |
20627 | I wonder where he''s disappeared to?" |
20627 | I wonder?" |
20627 | I wonder?" |
20627 | I''d like to see you facing a nine- hundred- pound she bear with----""Would you?" |
20627 | I''ll have my lawyer go down and----""Say,"I breaks in,"why fat up a lawyer? |
20627 | I''ve been here goin''on four years now, and I ai n''t beefed much about it, have I? |
20627 | I-- I beg pardon?" |
20627 | I-- er-- I trust she was charmed to meet you again?" |
20627 | If I could only find the original now, with her tractable genius for doing exactly what she was told----""Why not send out for her, then?" |
20627 | If I''d taken the money, would n''t it have been found on me?" |
20627 | In other words, how is he getting on?" |
20627 | In your den, are you? |
20627 | Indulging in a shave, eh?" |
20627 | Inside is nothing but a picture, one of these dinky portraits on ivory-- mini''tures, ai n''t they? |
20627 | Is it?" |
20627 | Is n''t that motor a beauty? |
20627 | It is so-- so-- well, so petty and sordid?" |
20627 | It was awful of the bobbies, was n''t it?" |
20627 | It''s in that----""Say,"I throws over my shoulder on my way to the door,"whose aunt is this, anyway?" |
20627 | It''s your birthday, ai n''t it? |
20627 | Joey?" |
20627 | Jumpy? |
20627 | Just asked pleasant and polite for a renewal, did he? |
20627 | Know the old gent, do n''t you?" |
20627 | Know what he used to call your sister Marjorie, summer before last? |
20627 | Let''s see, you ca n''t ring in as one of the fam''ly, can you?" |
20627 | Lindholm?" |
20627 | Look like a discard, do n''t you? |
20627 | Look up the number, will you? |
20627 | Look up the number, will you? |
20627 | Martha Hadley, why in the name of nonsense are you eating dinner with your hat on?" |
20627 | May I ask the occasion? |
20627 | May I?" |
20627 | May I?" |
20627 | May n''t Torchy come to carry the bundles?" |
20627 | Maybe you know how catchin''that sort of thing is? |
20627 | Maybe you know the brand? |
20627 | Maybe you''ve seen products of such exclusive establishments? |
20627 | Mr. Robert hangs his head sort of sheepish, but asks hopeful:"Well, Torchy?" |
20627 | Mr. Robert whirls and demands sarcastic,"Well, what would you suggest, young man?" |
20627 | Music? |
20627 | Nameless waif, eh? |
20627 | Nash?" |
20627 | Nash?" |
20627 | Nice mornin'', ai n''t it?" |
20627 | No piker, was he? |
20627 | No rule against that, is there?" |
20627 | Not in the same line, are you?" |
20627 | Notice me frost her, eh? |
20627 | Now come, Allston, what good would you be after fifteen years''hard?" |
20627 | Now tell me, would anyone but a nut do a thing like that?" |
20627 | Now wa''n''t it?." |
20627 | Now was them any proper motions for a grocery clerk to be goin''through? |
20627 | Now what about this grand larceny charge?" |
20627 | Now what about this retort business?" |
20627 | Now what''s the argument?" |
20627 | Now, how soon may we start? |
20627 | Now, young man, have you thought how we can get the right people here? |
20627 | Of course I knew he did n''t take it; but how in the world did you ever make them let him go?" |
20627 | Or was he just keepin''mum? |
20627 | Or was he nutty, like Donahue had said? |
20627 | Or was it wings she was demandin''? |
20627 | Out? |
20627 | Out? |
20627 | Perhaps you can tell me what they''re doing down there?" |
20627 | Perhaps you never heard of the bursting of that first Birmingham boom? |
20627 | Pretty soon they will be coming back, and then----""Well, what then?" |
20627 | Private Secretary?" |
20627 | Queen of what? |
20627 | Remember hearin''me tell of Aunt Zenobia and her new hubby? |
20627 | Remember her, do n''t you? |
20627 | Remember him, do n''t you?" |
20627 | Retire? |
20627 | Ring up Bates, will you, and have him call a general council of our legal staff for two- thirty?" |
20627 | Robert?" |
20627 | Robert?" |
20627 | Say, but it ai n''t any cinch, this breakin''into public life, is it? |
20627 | Say, how about it, Miss Hampton? |
20627 | Say, old man, let me in on this musicfest if you can, will you?" |
20627 | Say, that ai n''t such slow work, is it? |
20627 | Say, that was something to lean against, wa''n''t it? |
20627 | Say, what do you know about that, eh?" |
20627 | Say, what''s your guess about that? |
20627 | Say, where''s the harm in me takin''Verona out for a half- hour walk along the Drive? |
20627 | See, is n''t that he, standing just over there?" |
20627 | See? |
20627 | See? |
20627 | See?" |
20627 | Seen him, have n''t you?" |
20627 | Sendin''flowers to a young lady ai n''t any penal offense, is it?" |
20627 | Shall I?" |
20627 | She does n''t keep him in a cage, does she?" |
20627 | She just indulges in a flickery smile, then straightens her face out and remarks:"Well, Torchy, I have n''t had the pleasure, have I?" |
20627 | She used to be, as you put it, rather a live one; but I did n''t quite know how----""Kyrle Ballard, is that you?" |
20627 | She''s in the lib''ry, eh?" |
20627 | She-- she still has that, has she?" |
20627 | Sleuthin''around that bunch, are you? |
20627 | So when Doris told me how lonely and unhappy she was at home and begged me to visit her for a week in return-- well, what could I do? |
20627 | So why should n''t it work for him? |
20627 | Some grand little strategy that, eh? |
20627 | Some swell piano performer, eh?" |
20627 | Sort of a blot on the landscape I''d be, would I?" |
20627 | Spidery lookin''affairs, ai n''t they, when you get close to, with all them slim wire guys? |
20627 | Staying at Ferdie''s, eh? |
20627 | Steady comp''ny, ai n''t he?" |
20627 | Stunning, is n''t she?" |
20627 | Suppose I could duck meetin''Westy if I came the first evenin''?" |
20627 | Suppose I drop around again, or look you up at your quarters?" |
20627 | Suppose we double what you''re getting now? |
20627 | Suppose you was as shy on relations as I am, would you turn down the only one that ever showed up? |
20627 | Takin''me one side, he asks confidential,"What did you use on our young friend, persuasion, or assault with intent?" |
20627 | Tell him I was here, will you?" |
20627 | Tell me, why are you back here?" |
20627 | That was speedin''up some for a private sec, wa''n''t it? |
20627 | That was what worried me most,--could I come across with the standin''spiel? |
20627 | That you, Maggie? |
20627 | That''s description enough, ai n''t it? |
20627 | That''s some song, ai n''t it? |
20627 | The place where she''s been takin''lessons, eh?" |
20627 | Then he advances a step or so, points dramatic to the door, and gurgles throaty:"Will-- you-- get-- out?" |
20627 | Then perhaps you can tell me who he left that boy of his with when he went West?" |
20627 | Then, as he passes me he whispers:"I say, when you get a chance, chuck that box overboard, will you?" |
20627 | Then, when she''s gone, he growls savage:"Delightful, eh? |
20627 | There''s a joint somewhere near, ai n''t there?" |
20627 | They''re in the mountains now, you know, and the house is closed; but----""You ai n''t thinkin''of borrowin''their garage for this, are you?" |
20627 | This his door? |
20627 | To- morrow morning, say?" |
20627 | Torchy, ca n''t you suggest something?" |
20627 | Torchy, eh? |
20627 | Torchy, will you step here a moment?" |
20627 | True, you are no longer a mere office boy; but-- well, just who are you?" |
20627 | Want to go?" |
20627 | Want us to put it in?" |
20627 | Wanted my advice, did he? |
20627 | Was I goin''to let a gimlet- eyed old dame with an acetic acid disposition block me off as easy as that? |
20627 | Was I? |
20627 | Was he nutty, or what? |
20627 | Was she thinking? |
20627 | Was she? |
20627 | Was that Russian, or Chinese? |
20627 | Was-- was there another man, do you think, or just some silly misunderstanding? |
20627 | We might-- do I understand that the flitting hubby''s name was Robert?" |
20627 | We''ll just wire for her permission; shall we?" |
20627 | We''ll---- But who else is this arriving? |
20627 | Wednesday, is n''t it? |
20627 | Well, Sir, where''s the boy now?" |
20627 | Well, Torchy?" |
20627 | Well, smuggle Mr. Keyser out the back way, will you? |
20627 | Well, young feller, what is it you got on your mind?" |
20627 | Well, young man, what is your excuse this time?" |
20627 | What I want to know is, who else lives here?" |
20627 | What about William Hines, now?" |
20627 | What about eats, though?" |
20627 | What about that?" |
20627 | What about your salary? |
20627 | What do I mean-- we? |
20627 | What do you know too? |
20627 | What do you mean, eh?" |
20627 | What do you say, Ferdie?" |
20627 | What do you say?" |
20627 | What do you say?" |
20627 | What do you say?" |
20627 | What does Mr. Robert intend to do then-- transport by aëroplane? |
20627 | What does he want?" |
20627 | What if the asphalt over on Fifth- ave. was softenin''up, with the mercury hittin''the nineties, and half the force off on vacations? |
20627 | What kind of a disease is that?" |
20627 | What makes you think it had n''t?" |
20627 | What you pullin''down, Skeet, on an average?" |
20627 | What''s doing in Tractions?" |
20627 | What''s it like, this Naukeesha?" |
20627 | What''s the answer, Vee?" |
20627 | What''s the gentleman''s real name?" |
20627 | What''s the menu?" |
20627 | What''s the real trouble, anyway?" |
20627 | What''s the use keepin''track of how high you are, anyway? |
20627 | Where do you think, though, I ran across that boy of hers? |
20627 | Where had she come from? |
20627 | Where is everybody?" |
20627 | Where was it, now?" |
20627 | Where was the wedding to be? |
20627 | Which side do the Tractions people come down on?" |
20627 | Who do you suppose now gave me your address?" |
20627 | Who knows? |
20627 | Who should I get a glimpse of, though, as I''m handin''my things to the butler, but the favored candidate, Sappy Westlake? |
20627 | Who was she? |
20627 | Who was this finicky party with the willow- ware eyes, anyway? |
20627 | Who''s been tellin''you I was such a simp?" |
20627 | Who''s the girl with the press notice stuff?" |
20627 | Who''s the other?" |
20627 | Whose joint is it, anyway?" |
20627 | Why not at Crag Oaks, her place near Lenox? |
20627 | Why not bluff it out and cut up with some of the other queens?" |
20627 | Why not go in and see her?" |
20627 | Why not see just how much of a bluff this was about Cousin Abie? |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why not? |
20627 | Why, how old are you?" |
20627 | Why?" |
20627 | Why?" |
20627 | Why?" |
20627 | Will I ditch him?" |
20627 | Will that do?" |
20627 | Will that do?" |
20627 | With a wink at me and a chuckle he remarks:"Torchy, suppose you tell the gentleman where you are?" |
20627 | Wo n''t you?" |
20627 | Work papers? |
20627 | Work? |
20627 | Would it be asking too much if I requested you to let him take you out for the afternoon?" |
20627 | Would it? |
20627 | Would n''t that crust you? |
20627 | Would n''t they?" |
20627 | Would you like to try the wheel? |
20627 | Would you mind too if I sent you out by the Broadway entrance?" |
20627 | Would you mind using that?" |
20627 | Would you, though, if you had been an invalid for fifteen years? |
20627 | Yes?" |
20627 | You are quite certain, though, that it is n''t someone just behind me?" |
20627 | You do n''t gen''rally wait to have things handed to you on a tray, do you? |
20627 | You do n''t think I''ve kept up that sort of thing, do you?" |
20627 | You do something or other, do n''t you?" |
20627 | You know Piddie?" |
20627 | You know how it is? |
20627 | You know how stiff and wooden he is as a rule? |
20627 | You know the type? |
20627 | You know these bungalow colonies in the woods-- where they live in fourteen- room log cabins, fitted with electric lights and English butlers? |
20627 | You know, I guess? |
20627 | You noticed her, did n''t you, Torchy?" |
20627 | You realize that, I trust?" |
20627 | You scent a crisis, do you?" |
20627 | You too, Hyde? |
20627 | You understand that, I trust?" |
20627 | You used to ask me to skate with you on the lake, did n''t you?" |
20627 | You would n''t, would you?" |
20627 | You would, would n''t you?" |
20627 | You''d naturally look for somebody special after that, would n''t you? |
20627 | You''ve heard it, eh? |
20627 | You''ve noticed? |
20627 | You''ve seen a young turkey, all legs and neck, with its silly head bobbing above the tall grass? |
20627 | You-- er-- get that, I trust, Torchy?" |
20627 | act?" |
20627 | ai n''t she the gentle, cooin''dove, though? |
20627 | but this society life runs into coin, do n''t it? |
20627 | he insists,"and if I do n''t know, what will they think? |
20627 | salary, stage money barred?" |
20627 | why do n''t you shut yourself in a steel vault, and have done with it?" |
