12375 | But how can words run along a wire? |
12375 | Do you know,he remarked,"that if I sing the note G close to the strings of the piano, the G string will answer me?" |
12375 | Is that what you wanted me to do, boss? |
12375 | On what? |
12375 | WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT? |
12375 | Well, my boy,said the professor,"how are we off for money?" |
12375 | Why not an electrical telegraph? |
12375 | Would ten dollars be of any service? |
12375 | Did it speak? |
12375 | He said,"When can you begin?" |
12375 | How many have fallen by the way? |
12375 | I thought,"Why would n''t the husks come off if the raw wheat was whirled around in that drum?" |
12375 | I was n''t afraid of the miller as much as his son was, so I said,"Well, what can we do that is useful?" |
12375 | If I could brush the husks off, why could n''t the husks be rubbed off? |
12375 | Need we wonder that his progress was slow? |
12375 | One day the miller called us into the mill and said,"Why do n''t you do something useful instead of just playing all the time?" |
12375 | She chose,"What hath God wrought?" |
12375 | The Washington operator asked of Baltimore,"What time is it?" |
12375 | VI"WHAT HATH GOD WROUGHT?" |
12375 | What has become of It? |
12375 | What was the medium that carried these waves? |
12375 | What wonder that all this makes for a vastly increased use of the quickest method of communication? |
61481 | And that special plane you''ve reserved for me will be ready then? |
61481 | And the_ Comerford_? |
61481 | And what was it? |
61481 | And will you let me know what happens? |
61481 | And you were both on duty during the mysterious two hours of silence on the night of July 7th? |
61481 | Bearing, sir? |
61481 | Blow up the ship? |
61481 | Boarts? |
61481 | But suppose the British escort ships discover the deception? |
61481 | Can we trust Androka? |
61481 | Commander, did you_ hear_ the radioed replies from the island stations in answer to your operator''s inquiries? |
61481 | Did you at any time during the two hours leave your posts? |
61481 | Did you, during those two hours, receive any call whatsoever or give out bearings to any ship, particularly the U. S. Cruiser_ Comerford_? |
61481 | Do you suppose you could wire the_ Carethusia_ and warn her-- or warn the commander of the convoy? |
61481 | Found them? |
61481 | Have you heard how badly the equipment was damaged? |
61481 | How about yourself, Jack? |
61481 | How long,Curtis asked,"would it take the_ Lexington_ to get within striking distance of the convoy-- say between fifty and a hundred miles?" |
61481 | Is there an officer of the British naval intelligence in town? |
61481 | So what did Androka do? |
61481 | Stars out? |
61481 | The_ Carethusia_? |
61481 | Those tanks you have below,Curtis said,"have they some connection with this radio silence?" |
61481 | What are they? |
61481 | What''s the idea? |
61481 | What... what became of Androka? 61481 What... what happened?" |
61481 | Where do you place the convoy at present? |
61481 | Will you kindly repeat that statement in a clear voice, so that everyone can hear you, commander? |
61481 | You are positive about that? |
61481 | You are the radio operators on island stations 297 and 364? |
61481 | You have plenty of men to work the_ Comerford_? |
61481 | You say there is a chance? |
61481 | You wish to make a clean breast of the whole thing, Curtis? |
61481 | You''re using your radio? |
61481 | Your father? |
61481 | _ Ja!_ Your father? |
61481 | _ Ja?_There was surprise in Herr Kommander Brandt''s tone. |
61481 | Any orders, sir?" |
61481 | Are you O. K., sir?" |
61481 | But you got your message giving your bearings-- the wrong ones?" |
61481 | Do you believe now that I have told the truth?" |
61481 | Is there any sign of the ship?" |
61481 | Shall I get him for you?" |
61481 | With all these rocks and islets--""Radio?" |
61481 | You understand-- better dead?" |

30688 | 29? |
30688 | 44? |
30688 | And why should it? |
30688 | But if the spring balance said the thing weighed five pounds how would you know if it was right? |
30688 | But what do we mean in words of electrons and atoms? |
30688 | But what would happen if we should decrease the capacity and increase the inductance? |
30688 | By the way, do you know what a"circuit"is? |
30688 | Can you tell me what is going to happen to the stream of electrons in the plate circuit? |
30688 | Did you ever sing or howl down a rain barrel or into a long pipe or hallway and hear the sound? |
30688 | Do they ever begin again? |
30688 | Do they let the sulphate ions keep giving that plate more electrons? |
30688 | Do you remember the gang of boys that fellow had to drive off his property? |
30688 | Do you remember what was happening in the tube? |
30688 | Do you see what this means? |
30688 | Do you want a picture of it? |
30688 | For 1 ohm it would take 1 volt to give a current of 1 ampere, would n''t it? |
30688 | How about the zinc plate? |
30688 | How do they differ? |
30688 | How else do they differ? |
30688 | How is it done? |
30688 | How long does it go on? |
30688 | How many? |
30688 | How would you know that the weights you used to calibrate your scale were really what you thought them to be? |
30688 | If a coil of resistance three ohms is carrying two amperes what is the voltage across the terminals of the coil? |
30688 | If an e. m. f. of 8 volts is sending current through a resistance of 2 ohms, how much current is flowing? |
30688 | If you wanted to find the weight of something you would take a scale and weigh it, would n''t you? |
30688 | In the meantime what has happened? |
30688 | Is it ever going to stop? |
30688 | It''s an alternating current, is n''t it? |
30688 | Notice that I told the number of ohms and the number of volts, what are you going to tell? |
30688 | Now what are the hydrogen ions to do? |
30688 | Now what do we have? |
30688 | Now what happens inside the audion? |
30688 | Now what happens to the electrons, the rude boys who are dodging their way along the sidewalk? |
30688 | Now what''s going to happen? |
30688 | Now, how far will the energy which is sent out from the antenna travel during the time it takes for one oscillation of the current in the antenna? |
30688 | Of course you might take what ever it was down town and weigh it on some other scales but how would you know those scales gave correct weight? |
30688 | On the other hand why use the tube under the first conditions where we need a large plate battery? |
30688 | That is all right, you think, but what are we to do when the batteries are not just equal in e. m. f.? |
30688 | The question always is: How large in percent is the difference between the two frequencies? |
30688 | What about the current which flows in coil_ cd_? |
30688 | What are the hydrogen ions going to do? |
30688 | What becomes of them? |
30688 | What determines the significance of the sounds which he utters? |
30688 | What do we mean by the word"rate?" |
30688 | What do we mean when we say"the wire gets hot?" |
30688 | What does that mean about its nucleus? |
30688 | What does that mean? |
30688 | What does the capacity depend upon? |
30688 | What effect is this C- battery, or grid- battery, going to have on the current in the_ plate circuit_? |
30688 | What happens then to the molecules of air which are adjacent to the vibrating string? |
30688 | What happens to the plate current on the average? |
30688 | What if there had been two different gangs playing there? |
30688 | What is a radio set? |
30688 | What is the result? |
30688 | What is the result? |
30688 | What must we do then to make a condenser with large capacity? |
30688 | What will happen if the e. m. f. which is active on the grid of the detector is made stronger or weaker? |
30688 | What will happen? |
30688 | What will the kind of atom depend upon? |
30688 | What would be the net effect? |
30688 | What would happen if we should then disconnect the battery? |
30688 | What would he mean? |
30688 | What''s going to happen? |
30688 | Where are they to go? |
30688 | Where do these electrons come from? |
30688 | Where do these electrons come from? |
30688 | Where do they go? |
30688 | Where does it get its ability to work-- that is, where does the"energy"come from which runs the set? |
30688 | Why does it get hot? |
30688 | Why should n''t the electrons in this waiting- room go home to that of plate 1? |
30688 | Why? |
30688 | You would be making the grid_ alternately_ positive and negative, would n''t you? |
30688 | [ Illustration: Fig 21] One member of the Council jumped up and said"But what if the grid is made negative?" |
30688 | [ Illustration: Fig 40] How would he do it? |
45490 | Ai n''t there something I can do? |
45490 | And did he-- could he? |
45490 | And did you build electrical things too? |
45490 | And some of the ice pillars will do for anchor posts to knot the ropes a-- Hi, what''s that? |
45490 | And you''re countin''on that high- sittin''wire to pick up music out of the air for you? |
45490 | But the Nardak? 45490 Do you think I could help you upstairs?" |
45490 | Eh, what''s that now? |
45490 | Hey, Pompey,the boy held out his best silk necktie,"how about trading me those skins for this?" |
45490 | Hi, be you man or devil? |
45490 | How-- how''d you ever find us so quick? |
45490 | I can, ca n''t I, ma? |
45490 | I-- I-- how will I ever thank you? |
45490 | In trouble? 45490 Is it the-- the end? |
45490 | Know anything about batteries? |
45490 | Oh, Marse Gem, is you kilt? |
45490 | Radio? 45490 Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic?" |
45490 | Renaud of the Radio, do you want to go to the Arctic? |
45490 | Renaud-- up about Foyn-- are you on the air? 45490 Say, you, ai n''t you coming?" |
45490 | Scared? |
45490 | Scotty,queried Lee, looking out over the limitless stretches of broken, drifting white,"how big is this sea we are in?" |
45490 | The glass wheel-- you never saw anything like it before, eh? |
45490 | The radio- room, eh? 45490 Uncle Gem,"he questioned,"why is a little chain hung from the fur cushions so as to just dangle down against the floor-- what''s it good for?" |
45490 | Want to know something about that? |
45490 | We can come again, huh, ca n''t we? |
45490 | What and all you going to do with this here power you are getting out of the air? |
45490 | What for be you rigged up to scare honest folk out of the road? |
45490 | What for? 45490 What for?" |
45490 | What has happened? 45490 What is it? |
45490 | What is it? 45490 What''s the matter? |
45490 | Wonder if I could make electricity with it? |
45490 | You ain''t-- you ai n''t sorter scared? |
45490 | You gonner let us see it all-- what you gonner show to Jimmy? 45490 Ah-- a word with you, Captain? |
45490 | All right, young man,"motioning Lee to follow,"want to see this''cigar''of mine at close quarters?" |
45490 | And like a miracle sweeping over that yellow torrent, a sound came to him in the receiver:"Renaud? |
45490 | And now this mysterious call,"F- O- Y- N."Did that call hold the answer to the dark riddle of the lost ship? |
45490 | And now would this simple mechanism transmit sound for more than the few yards for which it had been tested thus far? |
45490 | And should the Nardak still be safe, and navigable, how would her searching crew ever find the castaways, three minute dots on the vast sheet of ice? |
45490 | Anyhow, Jimmy Bobb allowed he wanted to set eyes on you, and I come to take you to him--""Jimmy Bobb, who''s he? |
45490 | Atmospheric condition-- disaster-- storm, who could tell what? |
45490 | But how could they get help-- how let people know of their perilous position? |
45490 | But of what? |
45490 | But why-- what did it mean? |
45490 | CHAPTER V TAPS"What''s this? |
45490 | CHAPTER VII HARNESSING LIGHTNING POWER"Aiming for to go up to Renaud''s?" |
45490 | CHAPTER VIII COMPRESSED POWER"How far a piece you goner take it?" |
45490 | Can she make it?" |
45490 | Did n''t it work? |
45490 | Did n''t you get that?" |
45490 | Do n''t you hear the buzzer?" |
45490 | Do n''t you know a gunshot when you hear one?" |
45490 | From within the cabin, Granger''s weak voice called fretfully, wanting to know what the shouting was, what was happening? |
45490 | Got the sound, but it was distorted, like the singer was yelling out of the side of his mouth--""You''ve made radio, huh? |
45490 | Had anyone heard it? |
45490 | Had the dirigible caught fire, or was this merely a smoke signal? |
45490 | Had the silver hull of the Nardak gone up in flames? |
45490 | He had been hoping to experiment some with electricity himself, but what had he out here to work with? |
45490 | He had infantile para-- para something--""Paralysis, was it?" |
45490 | He was in touch with something-- but what, where? |
45490 | How are we found?" |
45490 | How can we hope?" |
45490 | How could the great ship smash through to the tiny island without sinking it? |
45490 | How could the monster heave in to them without drowning them? |
45490 | How do you hitch all those little signs up so that they mean something on an instrument?" |
45490 | How in Kingdom Come was he, who knew so little about electricity, going to explain it to a fellow who knew even less? |
45490 | Huh?" |
45490 | I thought it was housed in here?" |
45490 | In the dark silence beyond the open window, what manner of fiend was waiting to shoot down innocent people? |
45490 | Is that all there is to it?" |
45490 | It makes bright lights and runs telephones and street cars and talking machines--""How might a street car look? |
45490 | It would be all right, would n''t it?" |
45490 | Lee raced to the door and flung himself inside, shouting,"Jimmy, Jimmy, where are you?" |
45490 | New station, eh? |
45490 | Now, young man, do you see?" |
45490 | Or was that wavering smoke line a beacon, lighted by their shipmates where they had landed? |
45490 | Over there, could he believe his eyes? |
45490 | Rather far extremes, eh? |
45490 | Receiver, or transmitter?" |
45490 | Say that this wire came all the way back from Birmingham and connected with the other pole of my battery, what would that make?" |
45490 | Say, want to go to the hotel first or straight out to the Nardak''s hangar?" |
45490 | Suppose a tempest rolled up, drove their ice field hither and yon on the sea, smashed and ground it to pieces? |
45490 | Suppose he were dead? |
45490 | Suppose he were in his coffin? |
45490 | Suppose the new acid- treated plates worked no better than the old ones? |
45490 | Tele-- telephone, what''s that?" |
45490 | That you? |
45490 | The shutters of the next room were flung open and Great- uncle Gem''s voice rang out angrily,"What you up to on that roof? |
45490 | This shooting-- must have been that old fool, Johnny Poolak-- taking another shot at the glass wheel--""Sh- shooting at the wheel?" |
45490 | Want to go for the ride?" |
45490 | Was n''t that the engine slowing, the pilot"cutting the gun"for a swoop to their floe? |
45490 | Was that a stealthy padding, a footstep-- was he being followed? |
45490 | What could be the end? |
45490 | What did it all mean? |
45490 | What did it mean? |
45490 | What do you know about magnets and magnetism and electromagnets?" |
45490 | What do you think of your first ride in a dirigible?" |
45490 | What does he want with me?" |
45490 | What had happened? |
45490 | What hope could they have? |
45490 | What if they did ever reach that barren, ice- sheathed island? |
45490 | What is it?" |
45490 | What makes it act all alive?" |
45490 | What was this gang up to? |
45490 | What would happen in this unexplored land? |
45490 | What would the end be? |
45490 | What''s that you''re up to?" |
45490 | What''s the matter?" |
45490 | What''s this?" |
45490 | Where are you?" |
45490 | Where''s the hammer, the chisel?" |
45490 | Who are you, brother? |
45490 | Who wants to join this mighty organization?" |
45490 | Who''s in trouble? |
45490 | Why had he forced himself to live? |
45490 | Why had n''t he let himself go in that first quick, merciful stupor? |
45490 | Will she capsize?" |
45490 | Wires had to be soldered-- but with what? |
45490 | Wonder if we can mount them now?" |
45490 | Would Renaud go? |
45490 | Would he ever be able to send another? |
45490 | Would this sagging, sinking building last much longer? |
45490 | You do n''t really mean to leave it?" |
45490 | You-- you hear me? |
45490 | gasped the worn, emaciated Captain Jan."The miracle? |
11861 | ''What kind of copy does he make?'' |
11861 | A reward; is it? |
11861 | But we need the money; do n''t we, Gus? |
11861 | Can we all listen in? |
11861 | Chem--? 11861 Damage? |
11861 | Do n''t you care? |
11861 | Do you think you can do it? |
11861 | For goodness''sake, Skeets, are you ever going to get the habit of keeping yourself upright? |
11861 | Ghost? 11861 Here we are, Gus, and how can I ever get square with you?" |
11861 | How deep you goin''into that hill? 11861 How did you come here-- what--?" |
11861 | I make it:''Is it all right, then?'' 11861 I reckon you lads, when you git this thing made that''s goin''to hoodoo the air, will be startin''in an''tryin''somethin''else; eh?" |
11861 | I suppose your dad and most other guys got their dough all by accident while they were trying to help other folks; eh? |
11861 | If I say something to you, real confidentially, you wo n''t give me away, will you? 11861 In just what way, can you imagine?" |
11861 | Is he keen for all new- fangled things? |
11861 | Is n''t it dandy, Gus? |
11861 | It could n''t have been any of our chemicals, could it? |
11861 | Kin you improve on the Perfesser? |
11861 | Know anything about this business, George? |
11861 | More crooked business? 11861 Napoleon? |
11861 | No; but would n''t I like to? 11861 Now, Mr. Hooper, we''re not fixed to make a triangulation measurement to- day, but----""Not fixed? |
11861 | Now, then, let''s all get busy and----"Righto, Billy, but what will our folks think has become of us when it''s so late? |
11861 | Oh, Billy, you ca n''t say that, can you? |
11861 | Oh, Gus, do you think Ben Shultz was dreaming? |
11861 | Oh, am I,--no, not dead? 11861 Really?" |
11861 | She''s no snob like Terry and would n''t she enjoy this? |
11861 | Thad, he do n''t reckon he can be learned a thing, an''he''s so blame sure-- say, Thad, how''bout that bet? |
11861 | The old geezer looks like''His Master''s Voice,''do n''t he? |
11861 | They ca n''t hear us, can they? |
11861 | Well, Professor, you''re beginnin''to git at it, eh? 11861 What did this fellow look like?" |
11861 | What you drivin''that there stake down there for? 11861 What''s the idea of curvin''it?" |
11861 | What? 11861 What? |
11861 | When he said he saw Thad out there in the barren ground woods by the old cabin? 11861 Who asked you for your two cents''worth?" |
11861 | You think they do, but have you any proof of it? 11861 You''ve read a lot about Edison, have n''t you, Bill?" |
11861 | ''How would forty thousand dollars strike you?'' |
11861 | ''Tain''t natch''all an''''taint possible now, is it?" |
11861 | Ah ai n''t gwine lose mah job jes''fo''dodgin''a ghos'', is I?" |
11861 | An''Gus, here, him an''Bill, they think about alike; eh, Gus?" |
11861 | An''phwat air yes doin''here?" |
11861 | And how did she know anything out of which to give it? |
11861 | And the incandescent electric lamp-- how about that? |
11861 | And when they would say,''I do n''t know,''he''d get mad and yell:''_ Why_ do n''t you know?''" |
11861 | And why would n''t she give any names?" |
11861 | And, what do you think? |
11861 | Are you on?" |
11861 | But are you hurt?" |
11861 | But he had to earn his living-- didn''t he? |
11861 | But we need the money; eh, Gus?" |
11861 | But we''ll join in with the class on this; eh, Dot?" |
11861 | But what do the bunch want?" |
11861 | But what need they care after they get their money?" |
11861 | But you will, I''ll bet, and it will be yours; not--""What are you talking about? |
11861 | But, Mr. Hooper, you would n''t know Mr. Edison''s voice if you heard it, would you?" |
11861 | But, anyway, what of it?" |
11861 | CHAPTER XVII THE UNEXPECTED"Where did you come from, Gus?" |
11861 | Ca n''t you see they''re dreadfully busy? |
11861 | Cakes, candy, bananas and ice cream; eh?" |
11861 | Can I help you up? |
11861 | Can you sit still here, please, till I see about George? |
11861 | Could you----?" |
11861 | Did he say anything to you as you came out about being shy on this radio business?" |
11861 | Did he? |
11861 | Do n''t want to make me mad; eh? |
11861 | Do n''t you know, old chap? |
11861 | Do n''t you think that a fitting subject upon an occasion where electricity is the chief factor? |
11861 | Do you all follow that? |
11861 | Do you feel a little better? |
11861 | Does he really think the wizard is the child of some guy named Eddy?" |
11861 | Got any notion who it was that done it?" |
11861 | Grace, you''re driving your little runabout? |
11861 | Gus had whispered each signal to Bill; then he asked:"What do you make it?" |
11861 | He says--""I do n''t suppose it makes much difference what he says; he simply does n''t know what he''s talk--""You think you know, but do you? |
11861 | He was surprised, for it was almost as plain as print, and asked:"''Can he take it off the wire like that?'' |
11861 | Honest, for sure?" |
11861 | Hooper?" |
11861 | How about Napoleon?" |
11861 | How about that flash and bang we heard last night?" |
11861 | How about that warning Grace gave you? |
11861 | How much do you want for them?" |
11861 | How much fall you goin''to git on that Pullet wheel?" |
11861 | How''s that?" |
11861 | I can imagine your uncle--""So? |
11861 | I''m a heap int''rested in this Eddy''s son business, ai n''t I? |
11861 | If it were n''t for you, Gus, I guess, I''d have a hard time in--""By cracky, if it were n''t for you, old scout, where would I be? |
11861 | In the name of the millions who are not''listening in''on this, wo n''t you please write this sentiment so that it can be seen as well as heard?" |
11861 | Is n''t he a nice old fellow, even though he''s awfully rich?" |
11861 | Is that what you wanted us to say, Professor?" |
11861 | It is n''t a diff----""What''s try- angleation?" |
11861 | Just a moment?" |
11861 | Las''night, close on t''mawnin''? |
11861 | Laugh, will you?" |
11861 | Listen, you pusillanimous, knock- kneed shrimp? |
11861 | Mr. Hooper listened; then voiced a further and evidently suggested opposition:"Them lads is from the town here; ai n''t they? |
11861 | Mr. Hooper would n''t want us to keep quiet on this; would he?" |
11861 | My first thought was:''How can I, a poor man, reward the dear lad for risking his life to save my child''s?'' |
11861 | No objections? |
11861 | Now, then, here''s the dope: Did Edison really ever do anything much to help with the war?" |
11861 | Now, what would you fellows advise in this matter?" |
11861 | Oh, are you_ hurt_? |
11861 | Only two words were spoken, a"_ You_, huh?" |
11861 | Perhaps Grace had only fainted; should he go to George first? |
11861 | Ran away and from your duty? |
11861 | See? |
11861 | Storey?'' |
11861 | Strange, is n''t it, how we often are reminded of funny things even in the midst of danger? |
11861 | Struck any snags yit? |
11861 | They--""Them boys? |
11861 | Think I ai n''t wantin''to see that there contraption that hears a hunderd miles off? |
11861 | Too lazy? |
11861 | Well, now, let''s set down here in the middle; eh, Mother? |
11861 | Well, people, I''m going home; who''s along?" |
11861 | Well, who was right?" |
11861 | Were they in collusion? |
11861 | What stopped him?" |
11861 | What they do n''t know would fill a libra--""How''bout that there triang-- what you call it? |
11861 | What''s happened here?" |
11861 | What''s kids know about puttin''in water wheels an''''letric lights? |
11861 | What-- where was any ghost?" |
11861 | When you goin''to git at it reg''lar?" |
11861 | When? |
11861 | Whut you''low was de because o''dis givin''way?" |
11861 | Why would n''t surveyors git from here to yan that a- way,''stead o''usin''chains? |
11861 | Will it go out like a stack of cards, or wo n''t it? |
11861 | Wo n''t it be a mess? |
11861 | Wo n''t you let him hit his own trail, foot- loose?" |
11861 | You all read, did n''t you, that the lectures were to be repeated by request in two months after the last talk? |
11861 | You can''t-----""Maybe if you knew how to use your fists, you would n''t talk that way; eh, Gus?" |
11861 | You going to make one-- you and Gus?" |
11861 | You mean that; do n''t you?" |
11861 | You reckon that''s so? |
11861 | You two? |
11861 | You--""Say, now, what''s the matter?" |
39262 | A chance? 39262 All right, then,"responded Dick, quickly,"as long as you feel that way, and I do n''t, why do n''t you serve yourself up to the suffering sharks? |
39262 | And phwat do yez think of the old man? |
39262 | At the rate this old boat''s going now we ought to sight them pretty soon, do n''t you think so, sir? |
39262 | But now that he''s left you for a time, why do n''t you make an attempt to trap or kill him? |
39262 | But was n''t Captain Manning fine through it all? |
39262 | But what are we going to do now? 39262 But what shall we do when we find them?" |
39262 | But you will come with us, too, wo n''t you? |
39262 | But, Doctor, is that really so or is it only a story? |
39262 | Carried unanimously,added Bert,"but where?" |
39262 | Gee, fellows, can you see anything that looks like land? |
39262 | Has any one been here except you and your men? |
39262 | Have you anything definite as yet? |
39262 | He is n''t exactly a beauty,assented Tom, looking after the retreating figure,"but then what Chinaman is? |
39262 | How are things going? |
39262 | How did you get past the sentries? |
39262 | How do you stay on the thing when you once get there? |
39262 | How far can she talk, Bert? |
39262 | How far have they been able to send under the very best conditions? |
39262 | How far off do you suppose it is now? |
39262 | How shall we go? |
39262 | Hunting wolves? |
39262 | I agree with him there,said Bert,"but do you know the way?" |
39262 | I guess there''s nothing very much the matter with the old car, eh, fellows? |
39262 | I suppose that was what you might call a tank steamer, was n''t it? |
39262 | I wonder what they''re for? |
39262 | I''ll bet any money they are keeping their prisoner in one of those shacks, fellows,said Bert,"but what do you suppose the other one is for? |
39262 | If that hook once gets caught in his gizzard, we''ll have him on board unless the rope breaks, wo n''t we mates? |
39262 | If that was the cause,ventured Bert,"is it not possible that their panic may leave them, and that they may return?" |
39262 | Is this your first try at the surf boards? |
39262 | It is fierce, is n''t it? |
39262 | It would be an awful loss, would n''t it? |
39262 | Make believe we wo n''t make things hum in little old Hawaii, eh, fellows? |
39262 | Nae doot, nae doot,agreed the old Scotsman,"and what credit do ye suppose we got for all our work? |
39262 | Nice little toy, is n''t it? |
39262 | Oh, what''s the use? |
39262 | Rather rough on a fellow, do n''t you think? |
39262 | Shall you attempt to return her to her owners? |
39262 | So you are the Wilson whose fadeaway ball won the pennant, are you? |
39262 | That''s what it is, all right,agreed Tom,"but how are we going to tell which one is the prisoner''s, and which the king''s? |
39262 | The young fool,growled one of the passengers,"has n''t he got any more sense than to do a thing like that? |
39262 | There are quite a few, are n''t there? |
39262 | They-- why Bert, what''s the matter? |
39262 | Those fellows handle them smartly, do n''t they? |
39262 | Was her cargo a valuable one? |
39262 | Was there, perhaps, a leak? |
39262 | We''ll get him, all right, never fear,said Mr. Collins, reassuringly,"but how do you stand now? |
39262 | Well, Bert, how does she go? |
39262 | Well, that''s the way with all of us, is n''t it? |
39262 | Well,said Ralph,"how about the eats?" |
39262 | Well,smiled the doctor, as they came up the side,"how did you enjoy your first day ashore in China?" |
39262 | What are your plans for the summer, Wilson? |
39262 | What can be the matter with her? |
39262 | What could have driven them to such a desperate measure as abandoning a ship in sound condition and so well provisioned? 39262 What did he do then?" |
39262 | What did you do about it? |
39262 | What do you suppose he''s saying? |
39262 | What do you think about it? |
39262 | What do you think of it, Doctor? 39262 What do you think of the present revolution in China, doctor?" |
39262 | What is it, Bert, do you see anything? |
39262 | What is it? 39262 What is it? |
39262 | What ship can she be? |
39262 | What was it? 39262 What''s all this about dynamite bombs and getting blown up?" |
39262 | What''s the limit, anyway, Bert? |
39262 | What''s the matter with piling our luggage into the car and going right over to the hotel? 39262 What''s the matter with taking the''Gray Ghost''along?" |
39262 | What, us? 39262 Where could they find anyone to take his place?" |
39262 | Where do they get the money? |
39262 | Why do n''t you do as I do, pick things up and look for them afterward? |
39262 | Why does she drift in that aimless fashion? |
39262 | Why not? |
39262 | Why, how was that? |
39262 | Why, man, what are you talking about? |
39262 | Why, not the wireless operator that the company told me they had engaged to make this trip? |
39262 | Why? 39262 Will it bring the people more into sympathy with our way of looking at things?" |
39262 | Will you please tell me what they think they have on their feet? |
39262 | Wo n''t you tell us about them, now? |
39262 | You do n''t expect him to come up and swally the bait right on scratch, like as though he was paid to do it, do ye? 39262 You do n''t really think there''s a chance?" |
39262 | You do n''t think we''re going to give in without a struggle, do you, when we have some shelter here and guns in our hands? 39262 You would n''t want it to go it blind and bump head first into the side, would you?" |
39262 | ''Very good, and you?'' |
39262 | ''What good will a sharp stick do?'' |
39262 | After all, they were alive, snatched by a miracle from a hideous death; and how could or dared they complain of minor ills? |
39262 | All hands ready?" |
39262 | And is n''t that a picture, that avenue with the double border of palm trees? |
39262 | And what are those funny, bobbing things in the water? |
39262 | As long as-- ah, here you are, eh, Mr. Wilson? |
39262 | But do you catch any whiff here that reminds you of ottar of roses or the perfume wafted from''Araby the blest?''" |
39262 | But what on earth brings you here, three thousand miles from home?" |
39262 | But would she reach them in time? |
39262 | But, by the way, where will we get the skees?" |
39262 | By the way, doctor, how is he? |
39262 | By the way,"he added, as a second thought,"what hotel are we going to?" |
39262 | CHAPTER XVI THE PIRATE ATTACK"Not very pretty to look at, is he?" |
39262 | Ca n''t you?" |
39262 | Can either of you think of a better plan than that?" |
39262 | Can you beat it?" |
39262 | Coming, Bert? |
39262 | Could she make it? |
39262 | Did anyone ever hear of anything like this?" |
39262 | Did they hear in imagination the gathering of shadowy hosts, the tread of marching armies, and the distant thunder of artillery? |
39262 | Did you ever see anything on Fifth Avenue that looked like that?" |
39262 | Do n''t you fellows smell it?" |
39262 | Do you feel able to make a dash now?" |
39262 | Do you think you could allow me and my friend, Mr. Trent, to go along? |
39262 | For was n''t Bert his guest and was n''t he there to give his guest a good time, especially as he, Ralph, had driven the car the day before? |
39262 | For who can tell at what moment the apparatus might be disabled? |
39262 | Have a little patience about ye, why do n''t ye? |
39262 | How many did the beast get before you got away from him?" |
39262 | How would he like it? |
39262 | How would you fellows like to come along? |
39262 | How would you like the position?" |
39262 | However,"he added,"I''ve got a brace of pistols in my cabin, and I suppose you have, too, have n''t you, sir?" |
39262 | I guess you left that out of your calculations, did n''t you?" |
39262 | I suppose all you fellows will go with me, wo n''t you?" |
39262 | I suppose maybe you think that''s nothing to find, huh?" |
39262 | I''ll bet on the-- What was that?" |
39262 | It is etiquette to ask the religious belief of your new acquaintances, so our Chinaman asks the first of them:''Of what religion are you?'' |
39262 | Just as he was going off to sleep, a voice came from the other room:''Say, when in thunder are you going to drop that other shoe?''" |
39262 | Just before they went to sleep that night Bert called into Ralph,"Say, Ralph, what do you love best in the world?" |
39262 | MacGregor?" |
39262 | Of whom did it remind him? |
39262 | Pain, fear, suffering, disaster, danger, death,--what had such words as these to do with this merry company? |
39262 | Say, is n''t that the car coming over now?" |
39262 | See it now?" |
39262 | There is an instance of the irony of fate, is n''t it?" |
39262 | There, do n''t you think I''ve mastered the subject and learned my lesson well?" |
39262 | Though that knife did come pretty near doing the trick, did n''t it? |
39262 | To change the subject, what are you doing up here when you ought to be taking down wireless messages?" |
39262 | Understand?" |
39262 | Was it a touch of prophecy? |
39262 | Was it mutiny?" |
39262 | Was it not fitted with water- tight compartments? |
39262 | Were they below? |
39262 | What did you find?" |
39262 | What do you expect to get for your twelve dollars a month and found?" |
39262 | What do you say?" |
39262 | What was it he called it?" |
39262 | What was it?" |
39262 | What''s the latest news from the distressed vessel?" |
39262 | Who knew when they would see it again, or through what perils they might pass before they once more touched its shores? |
39262 | Who shall attempt to record the history of that hour? |
39262 | Who''d want to do anything like that?" |
39262 | Why did we wake him up unless we wanted to tempt fate and court destruction? |
39262 | Will he live?" |
39262 | You wo n''t disappoint your friends on a little point like that, will you, Dick?" |
39262 | exclaimed Dick,"what''s a swimming net?" |
39262 | said Bert, in a strained voice,"what do you mean?" |
39262 | what is it?" |
39262 | yelled Bert,"for your lives, do you hear me? |
38453 | A doctor, eh? |
38453 | A loud speaker is something that looks like an old- fashioned phonograph horn, is n''t it? |
38453 | Anything you do n''t do by radio? |
38453 | Are n''t you afraid you''ll be hunchbacked carrying both those bales of goods? |
38453 | Are you in the entertainment game now? |
38453 | Are you ready to go with me right away to the station? |
38453 | Are you ready? |
38453 | Are you sure you can do it, Bob? |
38453 | Aw, what''s your awful rush? |
38453 | Bruno get ugly? 38453 But do n''t you expect it to work?" |
38453 | But how would that affect it? |
38453 | But say, fellows, what''s the program for tomorrow? |
38453 | But what is it you''re after just at present? |
38453 | But what made it fade away in that fashion? |
38453 | But who''s going to drive the car? |
38453 | But why ca n''t you bring your old wireless things into the hotel parlor and let us all hear some music? 38453 But why do n''t you share some of your fun with us?" |
38453 | Can I believe my ears? |
38453 | Could we see your radio set? |
38453 | Did n''t I tell you that radio was the best ever? 38453 Did you boys really know enough about radio to talk all afternoon with the man in charge of the government station?" |
38453 | Did you ever see him when he was n''t? |
38453 | Did you hear anything? |
38453 | Did you hear that? |
38453 | Did you hear the latest prediction of Marconi? |
38453 | Did you see that look? |
38453 | Do n''t you know there is only one place where we could be going after hearing such rotten news as we''ve just heard? |
38453 | Do n''t you remember last night that he said he must get a message through to his broker first thing in the morning? |
38453 | Do n''t you think radio is a broad enough subject to talk about for an entire afternoon? |
38453 | Do n''t you want to throw us off the porch or any little thing like that? |
38453 | Do you all want to die of indigestion? 38453 Do you know the letters of the station to be called?" |
38453 | Do you mean to say you have n''t read about it? |
38453 | Do you mean to say,he demanded,"that you''d take a solemn oath in court to tell the truth, and then go on the stand and swear to a downright lie?" |
38453 | Do you need a doctor? |
38453 | Do you really think tramps were responsible, Dad? |
38453 | Do you remember how it worked? |
38453 | Do you suppose it''s the old boy himself calling? |
38453 | Do you suppose they''re putting up at the Mountain Rest Hotel, too? |
38453 | Do you suppose you could draw me a rough sketch of the circuit? |
38453 | Do you want to talk radio with us all tomorrow afternoon? |
38453 | Does he live near here? |
38453 | Does n''t he ever get cross and ugly? |
38453 | Does that suit this board of directors? 38453 Get off me, will you, before I throw you off?" |
38453 | Going to set some more houses on fire, eh? |
38453 | Have you had enough? |
38453 | Have you heard of the latest method of overcoming it? |
38453 | He chasa you? |
38453 | How about listening in a while? |
38453 | How about taking me along, Dad? |
38453 | How about yourselves? |
38453 | How did he come to get away from you? |
38453 | How do you get that way? |
38453 | How in the world did they happen to get here just at this minute? 38453 I suppose none of you ever heard of such things before, did you?" |
38453 | I suppose that unit in the center is the driving motor, is n''t it? |
38453 | I suppose you and Joe and the others are sure you did n''t light a match for any purpose while you were there? |
38453 | I suppose you have permission to use this plant? |
38453 | I suppose you use a regenerative circuit, do n''t you? |
38453 | I suppose you use a tickler coil in the plate circuit, do n''t you? |
38453 | I wonder what has become of the other cars? |
38453 | In what way? |
38453 | Is some one sick? |
38453 | Is that so? |
38453 | Is that what you are trying to say, Jimmy? |
38453 | Is that your bear? |
38453 | Is there a government station at Mountain Pass? |
38453 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
38453 | It must be something very recent, is n''t it? |
38453 | No damage done? |
38453 | Not bad for an old fellow, eh? |
38453 | Nothing slow about that, is there? |
38453 | Now as for me----"Yes? |
38453 | Now what''s the poor nut raving about? |
38453 | Oh, were those yours? |
38453 | Oh, what''s the use of worrying? |
38453 | Quit parking on my toe, will you? 38453 Say, fellows, what''s the matter with our sending that message?" |
38453 | Say, keep still, ca n''t you? |
38453 | Say, what are you guys doing here? |
38453 | Say, where do you get that stuff? |
38453 | Say, who asked you to butt in? |
38453 | Seems to me the question is what is the bear going to do? |
38453 | So you''re in a hurry, too, are you? |
38453 | Speaking of regenerative circuits, have you heard about Armstrong''s new invention? |
38453 | Such as you took us for at first, eh? |
38453 | That means that we''ll have to flash a little speed, does n''t it? |
38453 | The question is what are we going to do? |
38453 | The way we''ve got our set hooked up now, we''re using a loop antenna, are n''t we? 38453 Think you''ve put something over, do n''t you?" |
38453 | This is a fine business, is n''t it? |
38453 | This is the tuning apparatus, is n''t it? |
38453 | Was he any worse than Cassey? |
38453 | Well, what if you do? |
38453 | Well, what is it? |
38453 | Well, what''s the verdict? |
38453 | What I tella you? |
38453 | What are you running away for? |
38453 | What business did you have on the roof of my house? 38453 What dat?" |
38453 | What did he look like? |
38453 | What do you Indians think you''re doing? |
38453 | What do you mean by driving that car at such a rate of speed? |
38453 | What do you mean, concert? |
38453 | What do you mean? |
38453 | What do you mean? |
38453 | What do you suppose the powwow of the teachers was all about? |
38453 | What do you think? |
38453 | What does the government want of a wireless station away up here? |
38453 | What grounds have you for making such a serious accusation? |
38453 | What kind of gamblers are you, anyway, to wait until you have a sure thing before you test your luck? 38453 What made him chase us then?" |
38453 | What makes you think we''d do a trick like that? |
38453 | What will radio do next? |
38453 | What''s that? |
38453 | What''s the game? |
38453 | Who said I hated''em? |
38453 | Who''s said anything to Mrs. or Mr. Layton about our joining their party? 38453 Who''s that calling?" |
38453 | Who''s up there and what are you doing? |
38453 | Why ca n''t you send a message to that station and ask them to get hold of your father? |
38453 | Why could n''t you let the rest of us get a glimpse of some honest- to- goodness sharpers? |
38453 | Why do n''t you go over to the Salper''s house and tell the girls that? |
38453 | Why not? |
38453 | Will you ask the manager to hunt it up and lend it to us? |
38453 | Will you send your message phone or code? |
38453 | Would n''t it be great to be in charge of a station like that? |
38453 | Would we? |
38453 | Yes, but if you had a phonograph horn, could n''t you fix it up so that the music would be loud enough for us all to hear it? |
38453 | You do n''t call that work, do you? 38453 You fellows do just love to work, do n''t you?" |
38453 | You fellows would n''t be tickled to death either if you thought you were going to get a vacation, would you? |
38453 | You mean to say that you made this set yourselves? |
38453 | You mean to tell me you can operate that radio contraption? |
38453 | You said the name of one of the men was Mohun? |
38453 | You''ll want a receipt, wo n''t you, Robins? |
38453 | You''re going to stay at the Mountain Rest Hotel, are n''t you, Bob? |
38453 | You''re often called the''radio boys,''are n''t you? |
38453 | A lawsuit, eh? |
38453 | Are you ready, boys?" |
38453 | But do you think we could swing it? |
38453 | CHAPTER XIII PRESSED INTO SERVICE"Just what do you mean?" |
38453 | Can it be that he is blind?" |
38453 | Can you get my message through at once?" |
38453 | Coming, Blackford?" |
38453 | Do n''t you know that the big deals down on the Street that have been successful have been put through because the fellows doing it had nerve?" |
38453 | Do n''t you know you''re supposed to rest after a meal and give your stomach a chance?" |
38453 | Do you hear that? |
38453 | Eighty hard, round iron men?" |
38453 | Get that?" |
38453 | Got''em right off the reel, did n''t you, boy? |
38453 | How about it, fellows?" |
38453 | How does that strike you?" |
38453 | If you go will you take mother with you?" |
38453 | It would be great, would n''t it, if we could get in touch with another planet? |
38453 | Looker?" |
38453 | May I ask where you are going?" |
38453 | Rather a neat lay- out, do n''t you think?" |
38453 | Salper?" |
38453 | Salper?" |
38453 | So what are you going to do about it?" |
38453 | THE END_ This Is n''t All!_ Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book? |
38453 | Well,"as the others nodded assent,"why not unwind the loop and string a double aerial on the roof? |
38453 | What do you mean by it?" |
38453 | What do you say?" |
38453 | What will you sell it for?" |
38453 | When are your folks going to start for Mountain Pass, Bob?" |
38453 | Where is he staying?" |
38453 | Who cares for the old confession as you call it? |
38453 | Who knows that we slipped in later and sat there until nearly midnight smoking cigarettes?" |
38453 | Why does n''t he run? |
38453 | Why not let me take a hack at it for the rest of the way?" |
38453 | Would you like to find out?" |
38453 | Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author? |
38453 | You do n''t see that trailing on the ground, do you?" |
38453 | You said this man Mohun was urging haste?" |
38453 | You see I was in such a hurry that I did n''t eat much of a breakfast----""What?" |
38453 | You''ll do what?" |
38453 | exclaimed Jimmy, at length,"I hate to break up the party, but do n''t you think it''s about time that we thought of getting back to the hotel? |
38453 | exclaimed the former, with a gesture of delight,"does n''t it look simply beautiful? |
38453 | he said gruffly, his tone adding plainly:"What are you doing here anyway? |
38453 | what was that?" |
25858 | ''Where did you steal that rug from?'' 25858 A regular master criminal, Doughnuts?" |
25858 | Ai n''t he noble? |
25858 | And is your airplane equipped with radio? |
25858 | And was it really controlled by radio? |
25858 | And what was that? |
25858 | Any other place you can think of where you''d like to beat me up? |
25858 | Anything? 25858 Are n''t you fellows scared to go where Buck Looker is?" |
25858 | Are you still hungry? |
25858 | Are you trying to say that we put stones in our snowballs? |
25858 | But how can a magnet increase the sensitivity of a vacuum tube? |
25858 | But just what is it that you do? |
25858 | But what can we do about it? |
25858 | But what did it do, Bob? |
25858 | But what on earth are you sure of? |
25858 | But what shall we do for power? |
25858 | But while you and I are doing that, Bob, why ca n''t Jimmy and Herb act as lookouts? 25858 Ca n''t we make a temporary repair?" |
25858 | Ca n''t we, fellows? |
25858 | Can you imagine the day ever coming when we''d actually want to sit down and listen to Herb''s line of humor? |
25858 | Come across with another, Jimmy, will you? |
25858 | Did n''t he say what the robbers looked like? |
25858 | Did n''t they have some trouble in getting power enough for their sets? |
25858 | Did n''t you know that he is the undisputed champion pie eater of the camp? |
25858 | Did the station burn down? |
25858 | Did you think you heard somethin''? |
25858 | Do n''t you think we''d better look around a little bit, anyway? |
25858 | Do you hear that, Joe? |
25858 | Do you mean that we ca n''t go on? |
25858 | Do you mean to say that an actual recognizable photograph has been sent through the air by radio? 25858 Do you really mean that? |
25858 | Do you think you could manage another piece of pie? 25858 Do you want me to drop down of heart failure or something like that?" |
25858 | Get a shock? |
25858 | Great joke, is n''t it? |
25858 | Has the camp caught fire, or do you just want to borrow some money from me? |
25858 | Have I got to pull your nose to make you stand up to me? |
25858 | Have n''t we already agreed that there''s no use crying over spilled milk? 25858 Have you managed to make anything of them?" |
25858 | Have you read about that radio- controlled tank? |
25858 | Hello, what''s wrong? |
25858 | How about a steaming dish of beans in Boston? |
25858 | How about it, Joe? |
25858 | How about this afternoon after school down by the river? |
25858 | How about you, young feller? 25858 How are you, boys?" |
25858 | How did he gain his laurels? |
25858 | How did you know? |
25858 | How do I know that you did n''t break it? 25858 How do you ever do it?" |
25858 | How do you feel, Jimmy? |
25858 | How do you feel? |
25858 | How do you get that way? |
25858 | How do you know all this? |
25858 | How does he know? |
25858 | How many doughnuts have you left, Jimmy? |
25858 | How much further have we to go? |
25858 | How would you like to take a nice three- mile sprint now? |
25858 | I suppose the two men you were expecting have n''t arrived yet, have they? |
25858 | I suppose you had a pleasant time in Washington? |
25858 | I suppose you''ll want to be in on it, too, Frank? |
25858 | I wonder what they''re up to now, Carl? |
25858 | If I''d wanted it for luck I would n''t have got a magnet, would I? 25858 If this trip actually works out, we''ll forgive you all last winter''s jokes, wo n''t we, fellows?" |
25858 | In the United States Forest Service? |
25858 | Is it about a tramp? |
25858 | Is it some sort of joke? |
25858 | Is n''t he the shrinking violet? |
25858 | Is n''t it possible,suggested Herb,"that he''s employed as radio operator in the prison? |
25858 | Is n''t there a telephone line from the camp? |
25858 | Is the window insured? |
25858 | It can be controlled by an airplane, too, ca n''t it? |
25858 | It was lucky, was n''t it, that we happened along when we did? |
25858 | Just what did you get down? |
25858 | Now, are we all ready? |
25858 | Now, stop rubbing it into a fellow, will you? 25858 Oh, well, what do we care?" |
25858 | Or is there any? |
25858 | See where the snow has splashed against it? 25858 So the villain managed to escape, did he?" |
25858 | So you have got here at last, eh? |
25858 | That''s a pretty big loss for your dad, is n''t it? |
25858 | The one that was exhibited in Dayton, I mean? |
25858 | The same kind of message? |
25858 | Then what''ll we do? |
25858 | Think? |
25858 | Trying to start a Fourth of July celebration, or something? |
25858 | Want to revise that statement of yours that you were n''t downtown at all last night? |
25858 | Was anything taken? |
25858 | Was n''t he the fellow who had charge of the Mud Creek ranger station at Montana? |
25858 | Well, what do you think? |
25858 | Well, what''s the big idea? |
25858 | Well, why does n''t this blind man get himself a set? |
25858 | Were the fellows who held up your father''s truck masked? |
25858 | Were you fellows laughing at me? |
25858 | Wh- what happened? |
25858 | What are they up to, Bob? |
25858 | What are you doing here? |
25858 | What can he do? |
25858 | What did I tell you? |
25858 | What did it look like? |
25858 | What difference does that make? |
25858 | What do you know about that? |
25858 | What do you mean by that? |
25858 | What do you mean by that? |
25858 | What do you mean by that? |
25858 | What do you mean? |
25858 | What do you mean? |
25858 | What do you think of that, fellows? 25858 What do you think of this, fellows?" |
25858 | What do you want it for? |
25858 | What does that stand for, Bob? |
25858 | What happened? 25858 What has breakfast got to do with it?" |
25858 | What is your dad going to do about it? |
25858 | What will you ever do until lunch time, I wonder? |
25858 | What would you do? |
25858 | What you thinking about, Bob? |
25858 | What''s become of my piece of ice? |
25858 | What''s it all about? |
25858 | What''s that, Doughnuts? |
25858 | What''s that? |
25858 | What''s the matter, Blackie? |
25858 | What''s the matter? |
25858 | What''s up? |
25858 | What? |
25858 | Where are the police? |
25858 | Where do you get that stuff, anyway? |
25858 | Who all''s in this party anyway? 25858 Who broke a window?" |
25858 | Who did it? |
25858 | Who says so? |
25858 | Who wants to be like a tramp? |
25858 | Who was that other fellow or fellows then? 25858 Who''s afraid of getting lost?" |
25858 | Why could n''t you? |
25858 | Why does n''t he accept one? |
25858 | Why does n''t he rub it in? |
25858 | Why not settle it right now? |
25858 | Why talk about such things when we''re such a long way from them? 25858 Will that really do the trick?" |
25858 | Wo n''t you tell us more about your experiences? |
25858 | Wo n''t you tell us something about what you do? |
25858 | You could n''t? |
25858 | You did n''t see anything, did you, Bob? |
25858 | You do n''t expect me to blow a whistle under the circumstances, do you? |
25858 | You have pretty nearly all the latest appliances, have n''t you? 25858 You mean,"said Herb slowly,"that most of the blind folks who really need radio more than anybody else ca n''t afford it? |
25858 | An''now will yez put them things in my ears? |
25858 | Are we all here?" |
25858 | Are you able to tackle it?" |
25858 | Are you going to stand for that?" |
25858 | Are you sure it was n''t something else that smashed the glass?" |
25858 | Be yourself, ca n''t you?" |
25858 | But I do n''t imagine he or his friends will bother us any more to- day, so why not have lunch?" |
25858 | But now what are your plans for capturing the crooks?" |
25858 | Did you both fall asleep in the middle of it?" |
25858 | Do you remember how he told us that he''d lie in court to keep us from putting anything over on him? |
25858 | Have you noticed that?" |
25858 | He laughed and added lightly:"But who am I to assume the rôle of prophet? |
25858 | How about you, Lutz?" |
25858 | How do you account for that?" |
25858 | How does that strike you?" |
25858 | I suppose there''s no need of asking if you fellows would like to come with me?" |
25858 | Is that clear?" |
25858 | Now what do you say we listen in on the concert for a little while?" |
25858 | Perhaps you''d like me to tell you their names?" |
25858 | Say, that does n''t seem fair, does it?" |
25858 | Say,"he added fervently,"are n''t you glad you were n''t born a hundred years ago?" |
25858 | Trust your Uncle Jimmy----""For the love of butter, what are you raving about?" |
25858 | W.?" |
25858 | What do you make of it, Bob?" |
25858 | What does that mean?" |
25858 | What have you been doing with yourselves since we last met?" |
25858 | What mattered it to Jimmy that the floor was none too clean? |
25858 | What then?" |
25858 | What was Cassey doing over the radio? |
25858 | What''s the answer to that?" |
25858 | When do we start installing this set in the McNulty mansion, boys?" |
25858 | Why do you suppose we stayed here when it would have been perfectly easy for us to get away? |
25858 | Would he take it, or would the contest prove to be a draw? |
25858 | You do n''t think Cassey''s going to let us off that easy, do you?" |
25858 | You remember Larry?" |
25858 | are you going to tell the police?" |
25858 | he exclaimed, as sudden excitement gripped him,"do you remember those nights we were listening to our big set and we heard the mysterious messages? |
7899 | Am I an angel, Doughnuts, or not? 7899 And apple pie at that? |
7899 | Anybody coming my way? |
7899 | Are they keeping you pretty busy these days? |
7899 | Are you with me? |
7899 | Aunty Bixby is a nice old lady, and as for Joel Banks--"Say, is n''t he a dandy? |
7899 | But I suppose that location is n''t very exact, is it? |
7899 | But how do you mean to connect up all those tabs on the plates? |
7899 | But it''s a pretty complicated thing when you first tackle it, is n''t it? |
7899 | But say, what''s happened to you? 7899 But we''ll have to raise the panel up an inch or two so as to give room underneath for wires and connections, sha n''t we?" |
7899 | But what I want to know is, is that tuning coil wound yet? 7899 But what makes you think this man I''m looking for is the same one you''re after?" |
7899 | Cassey? 7899 Clubhouse?" |
7899 | Cut out the rough stuff, ca n''t you, fellows? |
7899 | Cut the electric light cord, you mean? |
7899 | Did you ever hear of Marconi? |
7899 | Did you? |
7899 | Did your father know anything about what kind of fellow he was? |
7899 | Do n''t you know that if there''s a small piece it''s up to the host to take it? |
7899 | Do n''t you know the doctor''s going to give you a feast of reason? |
7899 | Do you happen to have my mortgage with you? |
7899 | Do you know anything about him? |
7899 | Do you mean that somebody''s trying to cheat you out of your property? |
7899 | Do you mean to say that I have n''t any brains? |
7899 | Do you mean to say that he could get away with a thing as raw as that? |
7899 | Do you suppose there''ll be any eats? |
7899 | Does it cost very much, Doctor? |
7899 | Does it take three of you to do it? |
7899 | Does it work, fellows? 7899 Ever hear of any one by that name?" |
7899 | Gag him, some one, ca n''t you? |
7899 | Gee, did you just find that out? |
7899 | Going up to Dr. Dale''s house to- night? |
7899 | Gosh, did you hear what he said? |
7899 | Has he been here long? |
7899 | Have you been trying to deceive a government officer? |
7899 | Have you got any more when that''s gone, Doughnuts? |
7899 | Have you taken a look at it yet, Bob? |
7899 | He did, did he? |
7899 | He stutters badly, and then has to whistle before he can go on, does n''t he? |
7899 | He''s a brick, is n''t he? |
7899 | Hey, Bob, want to hear a good joke? |
7899 | Hit you hard, did it? |
7899 | How about a flow of soul? |
7899 | How about a little dance music now? |
7899 | How about little Dick Winters and his sister? |
7899 | How about throwing him in just for luck, fellows? |
7899 | How about you, Herb? |
7899 | How about you, Joe? |
7899 | How about you, Joe? |
7899 | How big do they want to be? |
7899 | How can she listen to radio then, if she''s deaf? |
7899 | How do you expect me to work if I do n''t have anything to keep my strength up? |
7899 | How have you been since I saw you? 7899 How in the world do you locate an unauthorized station, anyway?" |
7899 | How many does the book say we''ll need, Herb? |
7899 | I did n''t say it was great, did I? |
7899 | I do n''t think that''s asking very much, do you, fellows? |
7899 | I missed it, then, did n''t I? |
7899 | I never said we were cripples, did I? |
7899 | I suppose you think that''s real smart, do n''t you? |
7899 | I was just thinking how awfully slow things must be for the poor shut- ins--"What? |
7899 | I''ll bet you never thought you''d hear anything over our home- made set, now did you? |
7899 | I''m sure we would n''t be so foolish, would we, fellows? |
7899 | If you win that prize, Jimmy, I get half, do n''t I? |
7899 | If you''re an angel, Bob, I hope to die a horrible death from slow starvation, and I ca n''t say any more than that, can I? |
7899 | Is n''t it a wonder? |
7899 | Is n''t that grand? |
7899 | Is the place on fire, or what? |
7899 | Is there any one like that in town? |
7899 | It may be late, but it''s never too late for that, is it? |
7899 | It must be hard to locate them, is n''t it? |
7899 | It wo n''t take long to finish it now, do you think? |
7899 | It''s just the same as milk, is n''t it? |
7899 | Know anybody about here by the name of Cassey? |
7899 | Meaning that I''m not, I suppose? |
7899 | Not amateurs? |
7899 | Now what''s the matter? |
7899 | Now, what all do you need? |
7899 | Oh, who asked you to put in your two cents''worth, you old croaker? |
7899 | Pretty good for beginners, is n''t it, Brandon? |
7899 | Reckoning on giving me a treat, are you, boys? |
7899 | S- s- s- shut up, w- w- will you? |
7899 | Say, cut out the comedy, will you, Herb? |
7899 | Say, fellows,was his salutation,"did any of you read in the morning papers of the big Radio Show that is opening up in New York City?" |
7899 | Say, how do you get that way? |
7899 | Say, what are you trying to do? 7899 Shall we get the tuning coil started?" |
7899 | So soon? |
7899 | So the set works well, does it? |
7899 | Sounds as if it were in the next room, does n''t it? |
7899 | That does n''t look as bad as it might, does it? |
7899 | The prizes are to be given out pretty soon, are n''t they? |
7899 | Then he did n''t come back? |
7899 | Then you do n''t think you want a box? |
7899 | W- what about it? |
7899 | W- what can I do f- f- for you? |
7899 | W- why do you want to see me? |
7899 | Was anything else stolen? |
7899 | Was she pretty, Joe? |
7899 | We have n''t got to make much more now, have we? |
7899 | Well, say,cried Joe, who was ever a boy of action,"what''s the matter with our getting busy on this right away? |
7899 | Well, what-- what-- when did you see him to fight with him? |
7899 | Well,he demanded,"what have you got to say to that? |
7899 | What are we going to make the mast out of? |
7899 | What are you butting in for? |
7899 | What are you doing up there? |
7899 | What are you fellows chinning about? |
7899 | What are you two bloated plutocrats thinking of? |
7899 | What did he say? |
7899 | What did you say the fellow''s name was? |
7899 | What do you say to listening in on Pittsburg? 7899 What does he mean, Bob? |
7899 | What good would it have done him if he had got the aerial down? 7899 What in the world do you mean?" |
7899 | What was he sore about? |
7899 | What was it all about? |
7899 | What was it? |
7899 | What''s the big idea? |
7899 | What''s the joke, Buck? |
7899 | What''s the matter here? |
7899 | What''s the matter with asking Aunty Bixby? |
7899 | What''s the matter, Doughnuts? |
7899 | What''s the next thing on the program? |
7899 | What''s up with Buck and his gang? 7899 When are you going to have that wax cooked good and tender, Bob?" |
7899 | Where do we want the holes, Bob? |
7899 | Where does he live? |
7899 | Where''s the rest of the bunch? |
7899 | Where''s your drill, Herb? |
7899 | Where? |
7899 | Who do we know that we can invite? |
7899 | Who said I was joking? |
7899 | Who said anything about us? |
7899 | Who said we expected you to work? |
7899 | Who''s she? |
7899 | Why did n''t the doctor wait just five minutes more? |
7899 | Why do n''t you keep right on sawing until you get through? 7899 Why do n''t you start in and make a try for it, anyway?" |
7899 | Why do you ask that question? |
7899 | Why would n''t Doughnuts eat the pie after we''d gone home? |
7899 | Why, what have you fellows been doing, anyway? |
7899 | Will you promise not to hit me if I get up? |
7899 | With whom? |
7899 | Wo n''t that be the greatest thing that ever happened? 7899 Yes, but if that''s so, why should they steal my set instead of yours or Joe''s?" |
7899 | You coming too, Buckley? |
7899 | You do? |
7899 | You go up and let them in, will you, Doughnuts? |
7899 | You say you told him that we had our aerial up? |
7899 | You''re a stranger to this town, are n''t you? |
7899 | You''re foolish enough for anything else, so why not that? |
7899 | You''re going, are n''t you? 7899 You''re in it with the rest of us too, are n''t you?" |
7899 | Am I right or ai n''t I?" |
7899 | And how is she going to do it?" |
7899 | And where is the boy who does not dread being laughed at more than anything else in the world? |
7899 | Are you fellows ready to start now?" |
7899 | As you''re both interested in finding him, too, why not go with me and help me? |
7899 | At your house?" |

7899 | Cassey?" |
7899 | Cassey?" |
7899 | Cassey?" |
7899 | Coming, Herb?" |
7899 | Does the man stutter, do you know?" |
7899 | Has anybody heard what he''s up to now?" |
7899 | Has anything turned up to tell you where he is and what he is doing?" |
7899 | Have you tried it on him?" |
7899 | How about it, boys?" |
7899 | How about it? |
7899 | How about it?" |
7899 | How about the work we did in helping to put out the fire?" |
7899 | How are we going to get hold of some of that?" |
7899 | How big shall I make them?" |
7899 | How could he know that the old gentleman was having the time of his life? |
7899 | How much do you suppose you''ll need to get started?" |
7899 | How would it be if I dropped around some time during the evening, and brought him with me?" |
7899 | How''s the wireless coming on?" |
7899 | I''m sure we''d never want to go near a place like that, would we, Joe?" |
7899 | Is it a go?" |
7899 | Let''s go and see Doctor Dale--""What''s your big rush?" |
7899 | Make a fool of me?" |
7899 | May I come in?" |
7899 | Or was it all only a beautiful dream?" |
7899 | Perhaps you''ve heard of him?" |
7899 | Reddy?" |
7899 | Something connected with radio, I suppose?" |
7899 | THE PRIZE THE RADIO BOYS''FIRST WIRELESS CHAPTER I THE AUTO CRASH"How about it, Joe?" |
7899 | That makes-- Gee, how many is it?" |
7899 | Then to Bob:"Do you think we can wind the wire on now, Bob?" |
7899 | Want to try it? |
7899 | What could be more interesting? |
7899 | What do you mean by climbing up on my barn and trying to wreck my aerial?" |
7899 | What do you say if we knock off now and do some more work this evening after supper?" |
7899 | What do you say, fellows, to taking it in? |
7899 | What do you suppose he meant, anyway?" |
7899 | What do you think?" |
7899 | What shall we do first?" |
7899 | What''s the best way to get up on the roof, Bob?" |
7899 | Where is this wonderful thing to be?" |
7899 | Where would we give this entertainment, Bob? |
7899 | Who is the rascal that you think is trying to cheat you out of your property?" |
7899 | Who''s next on the list?" |
7899 | Why did n''t you wake me sooner?" |
7899 | Will you boys join me?" |
7899 | Would they join him? |
7899 | he exclaimed,"do you remember what Herb told us about the man named Dan Cassey?" |
7899 | he exclaimed,"you fellows certainly do like chocolate, though, do n''t you?" |
7899 | is it lunch time already?" |
19351 | A mystery? |
19351 | All right,smiled Curlie,"I agree with you, absolutely, but what did they do then?" |
19351 | And do you know that I could crush you with my influence? |
19351 | And is he what you would call a daring chap, ready to attempt anything? |
19351 | And may I ask,the magnate''s face was a mask, not a muscle moved,"how you happened to be in possession of these messages?" |
19351 | And then the car was wrecked? |
19351 | And you wish my permission for what? |
19351 | And-- and--she said in a faltering voice--"do you think Vincent is paying for what he did?" |
19351 | Anyone here by the name of Carson? |
19351 | Anything come in? |
19351 | Are you going to send that S. O. S. or am I? |
19351 | Are you the man? |
19351 | Asleep? 19351 Believed?" |
19351 | But supposing,he rose from his chair in his excitement,"supposing they do n''t find the island exactly where they expect to find it? |
19351 | But the water? |
19351 | But what do you make out of all that babble about airplane, map, ship and much gold? 19351 But"--he suddenly began to sway dizzily--"but where are we?" |
19351 | By the way,he said in a casual way,"does your brother happen to have a pal living at Landensport on the coast?" |
19351 | By the way,he said turning to Vincent,"do you chance to have the original of that old map with you?" |
19351 | By the way,said Joe,"where is Gladys Ardmore? |
19351 | Careful? |
19351 | Do you think so? |
19351 | Eh? 19351 Eh? |
19351 | Everything all right? |
19351 | Fa-- father,she faltered, gripping at her throat,"does he know-- know anything-- about-- about Vincent?" |
19351 | Find anything? |
19351 | For what purpose? |
19351 | Get anything? |
19351 | Get the distance? |
19351 | Gladys,he addressed the girl,"did you say you found some sort of map in Vincent''s room?" |
19351 | Going back up? |
19351 | Have any of these maps been photographed recently? |
19351 | Hello,he cried,"you out here?" |
19351 | How about trying another message? |
19351 | How illegal? |
19351 | How? |
19351 | I might tell all that and I might get the reward, but supposing something really had happened? 19351 If worst comes to worst we''ve got the wireless, have n''t we? |
19351 | Is n''t it wonderful? |
19351 | Is n''t it wonderful? |
19351 | Is n''t it wonderful? |
19351 | Is that an airplane which flies up from the ocean and lights upon it when one wishes it to? |
19351 | King, lion or millionaire? |
19351 | Know where I can get one? |
19351 | Listening in? |
19351 | Meet which? |
19351 | Millionaire''s son murdered? 19351 Murdered?" |
19351 | My sister,there was a strange smile on his lips,"says you set out on this trip for the purpose of having me arrested?" |
19351 | Nerves? |
19351 | Not your fault? |
19351 | Oh, is it? |
19351 | Oh, will you? |
19351 | Pardon me,said Curlie,"but did you get Mr. Ardmore''s wire?" |
19351 | Reliable? |
19351 | Sent by my missing son? |
19351 | Shall we go back? |
19351 | Six hundred? 19351 Smashed him up right? |
19351 | Suppose you did n''t plan this trip? |
19351 | Supposin''we get there, what then? |
19351 | Supposing they do not find the island? |
19351 | Tell me this: Did your brother have the original of that old map? |
19351 | Tell you what,he said after a moment''s thought,"just get that cashed for me, will you? |
19351 | Tell-- tell what? |
19351 | That you, 2231? 19351 The Newtonian?" |
19351 | Then you wo n''t have to arrest him if he''s already punished? |
19351 | These messages you say were unfair? |
19351 | Think we could run away from the storm? |
19351 | Two boys--He got that much, but what was that? |
19351 | Up here? |
19351 | Was that the son or the daughter? 19351 Was the plane equipped with wireless?" |
19351 | Well, now,he whispered softly to himself,"what do you know about that? |
19351 | Well, what of it? |
19351 | Well? |
19351 | Wha-- what happened? |
19351 | What can? |
19351 | What could it be then? |
19351 | What did he say? |
19351 | What did you do about it? |
19351 | What do you think,asked Curlie suddenly,"has he got an automobile or an airplane?" |
19351 | What does one make out of that? 19351 What else can we do but keep looking?" |
19351 | What is your theory? |
19351 | What kind of voice? |
19351 | What makes you so sure the island on that map is mythical? |
19351 | What millionaire''s son? 19351 What was that?" |
19351 | What was there to do? 19351 What''d you come down for?" |
19351 | What''s the answer then? |
19351 | What? |
19351 | When, oh, when,sighed Curlie,"will people become used to this new thing, the radiophone? |
19351 | Where''d it come from? |
19351 | Where-- where--she hesitated,"is your station?" |
19351 | Where? |
19351 | Why do n''t they catch him? |
19351 | Why should n''t I? |
19351 | Why, yes, he is; but-- but how do you know so many things? |
19351 | Why, yes,she smiled,"did n''t you expect me? |
19351 | Will you run and get those photographs? |
19351 | Wot course? |
19351 | Would I? |
19351 | Yes, but,hesitated Joe,"how the deuce you going to pack a radiophone outfit, all those coils, batteries and boxes, when you''re shipwrecked? |
19351 | Yes, how did you know so much? |
19351 | Yes, is n''t that what you do? 19351 Yes, she''s a beauty, and a go- getter,"Curlie was thinking to himself,"but in a storm, now, four or five hundred miles from land, what then?" |
19351 | You a cook? |
19351 | You did n''t expect to have me for a fellow- passenger, did you? |
19351 | You got nerves? |
19351 | You got the fever or something? |
19351 | You have arranged to go? |
19351 | You''re this wireless man, Curlie Carson? |
19351 | You-- you''re coming to see me when you get home? 19351 Young man,"he said slowly,"do you know who I am?" |
19351 | Young man,said the magnate, turning to Curlie,"may I command your services on this matter for the day?" |
19351 | A moment later he tuned an instrument and threw on a switch;"Weightman there?" |
19351 | A radiophone on wheels? |
19351 | Alfred muttered something like,"Think I''m a fool?" |
19351 | And the skipper? |
19351 | And we''ll see if it is a boy or the girl?" |
19351 | And who would not? |
19351 | But what was this they were saying? |
19351 | But what was this? |
19351 | But why get them out at this time?" |
19351 | By the way,"he exclaimed suddenly,"do you know about this new Packard- Prentiss equipment?" |
19351 | CHAPTER XIII A GHOST WALKS"Ever take much interest in gasoline engines?" |
19351 | Can I take Joe along?" |
19351 | Can it be Vincent Ardmore? |
19351 | Carson?" |
19351 | Did a bullet from my automatic, glancing from the wheel, inflict a mortal wound?" |
19351 | Did you get that? |
19351 | Did young Ardmore have the ancient original of that interesting map or only the photograph? |
19351 | Do you think I did wrong?" |
19351 | Do you think I''d sneak out of it because anyone would let me-- because I am a girl?" |
19351 | Do you think a rich man''s daughter can do nothing but play tennis and pour tea? |
19351 | Do you understand that?" |
19351 | Ever meet one?" |
19351 | Get him, ca n''t you?" |
19351 | Give him another chance? |
19351 | Go down to what? |
19351 | Had he not at one time received the highest of commendations from the great chief of this secret service of the air? |
19351 | Had he not at times detected meddlers who were endangering the lives of men upon the high seas? |
19351 | Had he seen some movement at the window to the right of the wires that led to the aerials? |
19351 | Had he, after all, trusted too much to theory? |
19351 | Had it been dampened and short- circuited? |
19351 | Had these two sons of rich men really only gone for some picnic trip to a well- known island farther south along the coast? |
19351 | He had lost thus far; would he lose in the end? |
19351 | He twisted a knob there, then:"That you, Mulligan?" |
19351 | Hello, Curlie, you there?" |
19351 | How about that?" |
19351 | How did she know? |
19351 | How was he to discover the owner of that mysterious moving radio? |
19351 | How was he to locate that powerful secret station in the hotel? |
19351 | How you going to keep''em dry with the rain pelting you from above and the salt water beating at you from below? |
19351 | If he did not have it, who was in possession of it? |
19351 | If this storm meant grave dangers to them, what must it mean to two boys in a seaplane skimming through the air over the sea? |
19351 | Instantly the question popped into his mind:"Does she know more than she cares to tell?" |
19351 | Listen in on radio all the time?" |
19351 | Location? |
19351 | May I see the copies?" |
19351 | May we count on you?" |
19351 | Mind if I take an extra hour?" |
19351 | No license? |
19351 | Now if he keeps it up, how am I to catch him?" |
19351 | Now will you come? |
19351 | Old Humming Bird,"he exclaimed as he patted his car,"did she mean that smile for you or for me? |
19351 | Or was this merely a warning dash which had reached them far in advance of the deluge? |
19351 | Poking his head into the wheel- house, he bellowed above the storm:"How''s she go?" |
19351 | Question is, do I want to risk it? |
19351 | Question is: Which one is it-- hotel station or the one that moves?" |
19351 | Sends on 1200, does n''t he?" |
19351 | Should he tell her? |
19351 | Sick, lost, shipwrecked? |
19351 | So he has n''t got him yet? |
19351 | So he''s going north? |
19351 | So there might be a girl in the case, same as there seems to be in that one over at the hotel? |
19351 | Terrible, was n''t it?" |
19351 | That you, Curlie?" |
19351 | The girl, too; what had she meant when she said she was in some ways responsible for her brother''s actions? |
19351 | Then out loud:"Joe, what would a fellow do with ten thousand dollars?" |
19351 | Then she said slowly, through set, white lips:"You would n''t do that?" |
19351 | Then, turning to her, Curlie asked:"Has this friend of your brother''s-- Brightwood, did you say his name was?--has he a seaplane?" |
19351 | Then,"Are you there? |
19351 | Was he still at the wheel? |
19351 | Was he to be ushered at once into the august presence of the magnate? |
19351 | Was it an answer? |
19351 | Was she merely a tool of the man behind the powerful radio machine? |
19351 | Was she simply leading him on? |
19351 | Was the storm upon them? |
19351 | Was the water getting at the engines? |
19351 | We can light on the water and send out an S. O. S., ca n''t we? |
19351 | Were they already lost? |
19351 | What if she sent those messages and I found her out? |
19351 | What should be his next move? |
19351 | What wave length do you use? |
19351 | What''s that? |
19351 | What''s that?" |
19351 | What''s the use?" |
19351 | What?" |
19351 | What?" |
19351 | When will they develop a conscience which will compel them to consider those rights?" |
19351 | When will they learn that it is a great, new servant of mankind and not a toy? |
19351 | When will they take time to instruct themselves regarding the rights of others? |
19351 | When?" |
19351 | Where to? |
19351 | Who could tell? |
19351 | Who had taken the wireless equipment from the wrecked car out there by the Forest Preserve? |
19351 | Who had that someone been? |
19351 | Who knows? |
19351 | Why did n''t I think of that before? |
19351 | Why did you do it? |
19351 | Why had she whispered those messages to him? |
19351 | Why not around here?" |
19351 | Will you?" |
19351 | Wo n''t you?" |
19351 | Wonder why?" |
19351 | Would it be asking too much were I to request that you accompany her?" |
19351 | Would it last until the storm had passed, or would they be obliged to volplane down into that seething tempest? |
19351 | Would it refuse to go? |
19351 | Yes, where were they? |
19351 | You remember that big bad man, the one who used heaps of power on 1200? |
19351 | You-- you do n''t think anything could happen to them, do you?" |
19351 | he exclaimed suddenly,"what was I doing when things went to pieces?" |
19351 | he mused;"how about that girl? |
19351 | where have you been?" |
27455 | ''What''s the matter, Conductor?'' 27455 And speaking of radio, who do you think called me up last night? |
27455 | And the idea was, that you''d go down there and blow the crowd to hot doughnuts, was it? |
27455 | And wo n''t it be a happy day when I can throw it into the discard? 27455 Are you a shark too, Larry?" |
27455 | Are you fellows going my way? |
27455 | Are you sure? |
27455 | Aw, what''s the use of standing on an old station platform for an hour and spending your time wondering why the train does n''t show up? |
27455 | But I suppose we ca n''t land on him until he gets entirely well, can we, Joe? |
27455 | But I suppose you found it quite a long trip, did n''t you? |
27455 | But how are we going to get him to the hotel, Bob? 27455 But how are you going to travel back alone?" |
27455 | But how do you know what to do with them? |
27455 | But now that we''re fed up and feeling strong, how would you like to practice sending for awhile? 27455 But now, how would you all like to go in and hear the rest of the concert? |
27455 | But we''ll have plenty of fun, too, so why mind a little hard work? |
27455 | But what does it say in that letter that you''re waving around, anyway? |
27455 | But what is a poor fellow to do? |
27455 | But where are you Indians taking me to, anyway? |
27455 | But where do you get all the money to buy that stuff? |
27455 | Can you all get around this evening and listen to some radio? 27455 Can you beat it?" |
27455 | Can you do anything in the way of a song or a recitation? |
27455 | Could you hear me plainly last evening? |
27455 | Did I do it all right? |
27455 | Did you ever hear any more from Buck? |
27455 | Did you ever know him to do a decent thing? |
27455 | Did you get that? |
27455 | Did you hear it the same as I did, Herb? |
27455 | Did you notice that there was n''t a word of apology for having made a false charge against you? |
27455 | Did you try to stop them? |
27455 | Do n''t forget me, though, will you? |
27455 | Do you expect to be able to hear Detroit? |
27455 | Do you feel well enough to go after a soft job next Saturday? |
27455 | Do you find the grub as good as we told you it would be? |
27455 | Do you know where she lives, Tim? 27455 Do you notice how everybody steers clear of them? |
27455 | Do you think the sun has affected his brain? |
27455 | Do you think you can fill in this evening? 27455 Has he got entirely over his experience of last summer, when Dan Cassey knocked him out and stole his money?" |
27455 | Has there been a big fire? 27455 Have you heard how he is getting along lately, Larry?" |
27455 | Hear of it? |
27455 | How about it, Doughnuts? |
27455 | How about it, fellows? |
27455 | How about that hundred and fifty dollars we won between us in prizes? |
27455 | How about the mocking bird? |
27455 | How are you getting along with that regenerative set? |
27455 | How did it seem to be performing for the benefit of about half a million people at one time? |
27455 | How did you come to land two customers so quickly? |
27455 | How did you happen to hear of it? |
27455 | How do you feel to- day? |
27455 | How do you feel, Larry? 27455 How do you feel?" |
27455 | How do you fellows come to rate an automobile? |
27455 | How do you know which one to turn and which one to leave alone? |
27455 | How do you like being with a regular show? |
27455 | How does he know that both of us wo n''t get rattled right in the middle of the thing and ball up the whole programme? |
27455 | How does it seem to perform for the benefit of a telephone transmitter instead of an audience? |
27455 | How is your cousin, Mr. Harvey, getting along? |
27455 | How would this do? |
27455 | How''s that for a crackerjack joke? |
27455 | How''s the boy? 27455 I did n''t say that, did I?" |
27455 | I do n''t know that you''re very famous for bright ideas, Jimmy, so where do you get off to criticize? |
27455 | I do n''t seem to be fading away under the strain, though, do I? |
27455 | I guess he was satisfied, though, was n''t he? |
27455 | I guess there''s no law against eating chocolate, is there? |
27455 | I guess you''ll be plenty strong enough to start in at steady work at the broadcasting station next week, wo n''t you? |
27455 | I suppose he was glad to see you? |
27455 | I suppose we all get free passes, do n''t we? |
27455 | I suppose you think you''re a regular Solomon, do n''t you? |
27455 | I''ll bet you never thought much of it when we first started to build an amateur set, now did you, Dad? |
27455 | I''ll bet you traveled faster with that stick of yours than you ever thought you could, did n''t you? |
27455 | If you can get away with it, why not pick up a few dollars? |
27455 | Is n''t this a peach of a ride? |
27455 | Is that so? |
27455 | Jolliest kind of fellows, are n''t they? |
27455 | Nobody asked you to sing, did they? |
27455 | Nobody threw anything at you when you were acting in a regular theater, did he? |
27455 | Now, as we''re agreed as to that, can I call on you for advice and assistance? |
27455 | Oh, well, if you do n''t like my jokes, why do n''t you think up some of your own? |
27455 | Oh, well, what''s the use of talking about it? |
27455 | Oh, what do you know about it? |
27455 | Probably a trifle nervous? |
27455 | Serious? |
27455 | Shall I tell it to you? |
27455 | Some of it must be pretty expensive, is n''t it? |
27455 | Somebody we all know? |
27455 | That was quite a little cash, was n''t it? |
27455 | That would be heaven on earth, would n''t it? |
27455 | The trouble is-- can we trust you not to eat them all on the way back? |
27455 | They do n''t usually delight anybody, do they? |
27455 | Travels pretty fast, does n''t it? |
27455 | Was that fast enough to please you? |
27455 | We might be able to get the wireless telegraph signals from the other side, though, do n''t you think? |
27455 | We''ll all drop in some evening around the first of the week, sha n''t we, fellows? |
27455 | Well, how did you like that? |
27455 | Well, then,said Herb:"Why does the tennis ball? |
27455 | Well, what''s the matter? |
27455 | Were they? |
27455 | Wh- what did he say? |
27455 | What are you going to do about it? |
27455 | What becomes of this electrical impulse after it gets started on that quick trip? |
27455 | What do you mean,''old cripple''? |
27455 | What do you say if we stop at the hospital to- morrow afternoon, fellows, and tell Larry about it and find out if he''ll be strong enough to go? |
27455 | What do you think I am, anyway? |
27455 | What do you think, fellows? |
27455 | What good wind blew you over here? |
27455 | What happened, Herb? |
27455 | What happened? |
27455 | What has lightning done that it ought to be arrested? |
27455 | What is the idea of having no windows? |
27455 | What is this bright idea? |
27455 | What makes you so sure? |
27455 | What news? |
27455 | What next? |
27455 | What shall it be first? |
27455 | What were you telling them about selling our sets, just as we came in? |
27455 | What''s that? |
27455 | What''s the joke, Jimmy? |
27455 | What''s the matter, Larry? |
27455 | What''s the use of working so hard over one, when you can buy them all made up? 27455 What''s your opinion?" |
27455 | When you begin to get your pay checks, we''ll expect you to hire the taxicabs, sha n''t we, fellows? |
27455 | Where did you hear about it, Jimmy? |
27455 | Where did you learn it, then? |
27455 | Where''s all the rest of your crowd this evening? |
27455 | Where''s he been keeping himself lately? |
27455 | Which railroad? |
27455 | Which way did they go? 27455 Who is Larry?" |
27455 | Who knows? |
27455 | Who was it? |
27455 | Who would have imagined this morning that you would be on the broadcasting programme this evening? |
27455 | Who''s game to do it? |
27455 | Who''s going to buy them? |
27455 | Who''s talking of selling our sets? |
27455 | Who-- who the mischief did that? |
27455 | Whoever told you fellows that you were judges of humor, anyway? |
27455 | Whose address? |
27455 | Why did n''t you get some more while you were about it, Doughnuts? |
27455 | Why do n''t you keep it, and give it to somebody else, Herb? |
27455 | Why in the name of all that''s good do n''t you laugh? 27455 Why would n''t that be just the thing for Larry when he gets a little better? |
27455 | Why, have n''t you ever noticed what a light appetite he has? |
27455 | Wo n''t Jimmy and Herb be knocked silly when they hear our voices this evening? 27455 You did?" |
27455 | You do n''t expect to have to leave Clintonia soon, do you? |
27455 | You do n''t suppose anybody would pay real money to hear that low brand of humor, do you? |
27455 | You hate yourselves, do n''t you? |
27455 | You must be going in pretty deep, are n''t you? |
27455 | You wo n''t be a bit worse off than we were, will he, fellows? |
27455 | You''re certainly going into it pretty heavily this time, are n''t you? 27455 You''re sure you do n''t mean feet instead of miles?" |
27455 | ''Say, Conductor, why in blazes have we stopped again?'' |
27455 | And among them what do you think I saw?" |
27455 | Are you building any sets at present?" |
27455 | Are you still as interested in radio as ever?" |
27455 | As they emerged from the terminal into the street at their final destination, Joe asked:"But how are we going to find this place, Larry? |
27455 | But do n''t forget to give him my congratulations on his success, will you?" |
27455 | By the way, when will he be well enough for us to take him to the broadcasting station?" |
27455 | CHAPTER XIII FULL OF PROMISE"What do you mean''good job''?" |
27455 | Count''em up, Herb, will you, and see how many there are? |
27455 | Did n''t you bring him back with you?" |
27455 | Did you get my letter all right?" |
27455 | Do n''t you ever think of anything serious?" |
27455 | Do n''t you think so yourself?" |
27455 | Do you keep your money in there, or what?" |
27455 | Do you know the way?" |
27455 | Does that meet with your approval, Jimmy?" |
27455 | Has he any relatives that should be notified of the accident?" |
27455 | Have they told you about that?" |
27455 | Have you got that through your noddle?" |
27455 | He was right, was n''t he?" |
27455 | How about it, Bob?" |
27455 | How about it, old pal?" |
27455 | How can anybody hope to make any speed with one of these things?" |
27455 | How did we ever come to forget that?" |
27455 | How did your young friend make out? |
27455 | How do you suppose he ever got on the programme?" |
27455 | How does that strike you?" |
27455 | How have you been?" |
27455 | How is it coming along? |
27455 | How''s the wireless coming along these days?" |
27455 | I suppose that they send in whatever language the people speak where the sending station is located, do n''t they?" |
27455 | If he enjoys kidding himself that way, why should we wake him up?" |
27455 | Is n''t it, Bob? |
27455 | It is n''t much of a walk from the station, but it''s too far for Larry just yet, is n''t it?" |
27455 | It looks as though we''d be better off every way, does n''t it?" |
27455 | It must be pretty near time for the first number now, is n''t it?" |
27455 | Kind of mixed up, is n''t it?" |
27455 | Maybe you''ll be nice enough to explain things to them to- morrow, Jimmy?" |
27455 | Now, how about you, Mr. Layton? |
27455 | Or did some one die and leave you a million dollars?" |
27455 | Sounds simple, does n''t it?" |
27455 | Strong for anything?" |
27455 | Suppose we each take a different street, and work down to the station, keeping our eyes open as we go along? |
27455 | THE END This Is n''t All Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book? |
27455 | That was fine, was n''t it?" |
27455 | That was some offer, was n''t it?" |
27455 | That''s perfectly fair, is n''t it?" |
27455 | Was n''t that a peach of a joke?" |
27455 | What are all those dials and knobs for? |
27455 | What do you think?" |
27455 | What happened?'' |
27455 | What is impossible to radio?" |
27455 | What is your honest opinion on the subject?" |
27455 | What is your specialty, Layton?" |
27455 | What''s the trouble?" |
27455 | What''s your specialty?" |
27455 | When I say''I see there was a big athletic event at the Mercury Athletic Club last night,''you say''is that so? |
27455 | Who''s coming my way?" |
27455 | Who''s game to send? |
27455 | Why did n''t you tell us some of the good ones for a change?" |
27455 | Why do n''t you try something else?" |
27455 | Why not? |
27455 | Why was n''t I born rich instead of good looking?" |
27455 | Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author? |
27455 | You''ll board there, I suppose, wo n''t you?" |
27455 | exclaimed Agnes,"are we really there so soon? |
27455 | exclaimed Bob, suddenly,"have any of you Indians happened to think what next Monday is?" |
27455 | exclaimed Jimmy one evening, tumbling down the cellar stairs three steps at a time,"have you heard the news?" |
27455 | it will be great to see them on the stage, wo n''t it?" |
27455 | what kept you so late?" |
27455 | yelled Joe, trying to make himself heard above the roar of the motor and the whistling of the wind,"are n''t we making time, though? |
28735 | A peg- legged man? |
28735 | A secret passage? |
28735 | Afire? |
28735 | All clear there, Tom? |
28735 | And do you believe,interrupted Frank,"that this man who has bought the old Brownell place may be that central figure?" |
28735 | And he would not run the risk of discovery and capture without some very good cause? |
28735 | And where does Higginbotham figure in this matter, anyhow? 28735 And who is this man who bought it?" |
28735 | And you have n''t heard from any of your fleet that our boat was recovered? |
28735 | Are n''t the profits so large that somebody else with money, some other organizing genius as you say, will take up the work? |
28735 | Are you Lieutenant Summers, sir? |
28735 | Barnum, how many matches have you? |
28735 | But a room without windows? |
28735 | But about matches? 28735 But do you think it''s safe for you to make the trip alone? |
28735 | But how about leaving these chaps behind, Jack? |
28735 | But how about my going to the beach to meet Lieutenant Summers? |
28735 | But how in the world do you know? |
28735 | But what can we do? 28735 But what do you imagine happened to him?" |
28735 | But what''s your proposal? |
28735 | But why in the world should such a move have been carried out? |
28735 | But why should such a man engage in liquor smuggling? |
28735 | But, in the second place,he added, leaning forward and uncrossing his legs;"what good would that do? |
28735 | By the way, Captain,interposed Frank,"keep us posted, will you, on how this affair turns out? |
28735 | Ca n''t we keep''em back here? |
28735 | Calling for us, Sis? |
28735 | Can I help you? |
28735 | Can you make it all right on that bum leg, Bob? |
28735 | Captain Folsom,he said,"is n''t it pretty certain such a move would not be carried out except by a man high in the councils of the smugglers?" |
28735 | Captain, who is this man? |
28735 | Chivalrous? 28735 Did I follow? |
28735 | Did he arrive in a boat? |
28735 | Did n''t what? |
28735 | Did you say Captain Folsom? |
28735 | Do you fellows consider the plane was forced to land? 28735 Do you know what I think?" |
28735 | Do you know where his office is located? |
28735 | Do you want to know what I think? 28735 Fellers on the roof?" |
28735 | First of all, how far is it to Starfish Cove? |
28735 | Frank? |
28735 | Fretting for more adventure, are you? |
28735 | From our station? |
28735 | Got them? |
28735 | Has Uncle George come home yet? |
28735 | Here, Mike, wot d''ye mean, comin''in like this? 28735 Here, where are your hands?" |
28735 | Hey, Frank,called Bob, interrupting their aside;"see how this strikes you? |
28735 | How about it, Bob? 28735 How in the world did he get here?" |
28735 | How much money you got, old thing? |
28735 | How should we know? |
28735 | How so? |
28735 | How, then, does it happen the air is fresh? |
28735 | I wonder----"What? |
28735 | In that case,he asked,"what would be the necessity for this radio- driven airplane? |
28735 | Is Captain Folsom there? 28735 Is all this liquor?" |
28735 | Is she good looking, Della? |
28735 | Is that so? |
28735 | Is that so? |
28735 | Is there any other place where small boats might land conveniently, any other place reasonably near? |
28735 | It would n''t do, of course, to make a raid and capture the plane and their radio plant? |
28735 | Jack? |
28735 | Let me have the glasses a minute, Bob, will you? |
28735 | Let''s consider what to do now? 28735 Now will ye believe me?" |
28735 | Now will you tell? |
28735 | Now, what''s this all about? |
28735 | Oh, I was just wondering why the job was left uncompleted? 28735 Oh, is that you down there?" |
28735 | Or shall we muss him up a bit? |
28735 | See us? 28735 Seeing spooks again?" |
28735 | Shall I tell? |
28735 | Shall we listen to the proposal, Frank? |
28735 | Shall we speak of our discoveries this afternoon? |
28735 | Shall we try him? |
28735 | Shall we try it? |
28735 | So that is part of the Brownell property? |
28735 | So,said Inspector Condon, reading the note on the back of the card;"you are the three chaps who made such a stir in that business in California? |
28735 | Somebody chasing you? |
28735 | That interference again? |
28735 | That so? |
28735 | That you, Jack? |
28735 | That your idea? |
28735 | Then what, Hawkshaw? |
28735 | Then what? |
28735 | Tried it? |
28735 | Turn the tables, Jack? |
28735 | Want to come along? |
28735 | Well, what do you know about that? |
28735 | Well, what made you believe the other plane was watching us? |
28735 | Well, why do n''t you go back to capture Senorita Rafaela? |
28735 | What did Bob say to him? |
28735 | What do you mean? 28735 What do you mean?" |
28735 | What do you mean? |
28735 | What does he mean, may I ask? |
28735 | What does this mean? |
28735 | What else could he say? 28735 What happened?" |
28735 | What happened? |
28735 | What if nothing comes of it? 28735 What in the world are you doing out here?" |
28735 | What in the world can those be? |
28735 | What is it? |
28735 | What is it? |
28735 | What is your idea, Captain Folsom? |
28735 | What man? |
28735 | What next? |
28735 | What say to a plunge before we go up to the house? |
28735 | What shall we do, though, Jack? |
28735 | What was it like this time, Jack? |
28735 | What was to stop him? 28735 What would you give to know?" |
28735 | What''s flying got to do with it? |
28735 | What''s the joke? |
28735 | What''s the matter with his own? |
28735 | What''s the matter with us? |
28735 | What''s the matter? |
28735 | What''s the matter? |
28735 | What, Dad? |
28735 | What, Tom? 28735 What? |
28735 | Where are the others? |
28735 | Where are we? 28735 Where did you see this plane, Jack?" |
28735 | Where have you been? |
28735 | Who do you think this mysterious man behind the operations of the liquor runners can be? |
28735 | Who is he? |
28735 | Who''s that? |
28735 | Who-- who is it? |
28735 | Why did you hurry us away from that office? 28735 Why do n''t you pick on a fellow your size?" |
28735 | Why do you say it has been flying about here for some time? |
28735 | Why has n''t one of us thought of that radio- controlled airplane before? 28735 Why not?" |
28735 | Why not? |
28735 | Why not? |
28735 | Why, are n''t you the lads who were in my office to- day? |
28735 | Why, may I ask? |
28735 | Why, where are Bob and Frank? |
28735 | Why, where did you come from? |
28735 | Why? |
28735 | Wonder what it is? |
28735 | Would n''t you like that, Miss Faulkner? |
28735 | Yes,said Bob, who was comfortably sprawled out in a long low wicker chair;"what''s it all about?" |
28735 | You do n''t expect a good looking girl to be interested in you, do you? |
28735 | You mean he had the nerve to come back here while we were up at the house? 28735 You mean the radio- controlled plane must be put out of commission?" |
28735 | You remember what was said last night about the operations of the liquor smugglers in and around New York? |
28735 | You up, old man? 28735 You''re Mr. Higginbotham, are n''t you?" |
28735 | Also, has anybody got any matches? |
28735 | And that his man calmly walked into the radio plant and operated it for him? |
28735 | And we''re safe so far, are n''t we?" |
28735 | And why did n''t you tell Mr. Higginbotham our reason for trying to discover something about this man who has taken the Brownell place?" |
28735 | And, anyhow, why should any of them attack me? |
28735 | And, say, fellows----""What?" |
28735 | Anything the matter?" |
28735 | Apparently, he had not done so, for his next question was:"Do you fly around here often in your plane?" |
28735 | Are any of you familiar with the interior? |
28735 | Are you offshore?" |
28735 | As Jack deftly laced up the other''s shoes, he said in an anxious tone:"Do you think, sir, those people set the fire? |
28735 | But do them fellers on the roof know it?" |
28735 | But first tell me are you hurt any place other than your head?" |
28735 | But was anyone in that other room, in attendance? |
28735 | But, with a radio land station, why ca n''t such communications be carried on by radio in code?" |
28735 | CHAPTER I TWO MYSTERIES"Not much like last summer, is it, Jack?" |
28735 | Ca n''t you persuade Lieutenant Summers to let us accompany the party?" |
28735 | Can they be some type of torpedo- shaped boat controlled by radio?" |
28735 | Can you be at the beach to guide us?" |
28735 | Captain Folsom,"he added, deferring to the older man,"what do you think we ought to do?" |
28735 | D''ye think now et was them Mexicans comin''back?" |
28735 | Did n''t you?" |
28735 | Did they? |
28735 | Did you follow?" |
28735 | Did you get it together again, Bob?" |
28735 | Do n''t ye know any better, ye scut?" |
28735 | Do n''t you fellows imagine that is about what their plan of procedure would be?" |
28735 | Do you hear me? |
28735 | Do you suppose any boats of the''Dry Navy''about which you spoke are in the vicinity, Captain Folsom?" |
28735 | Do you think our searchlight has been seen by these rascals?" |
28735 | Does it make you sick?" |
28735 | Engine gone wrong, or what was it?" |
28735 | Frank, do you know? |
28735 | Had he seen them pursue him and spy on him as he visited the schooner? |
28735 | Had their captors departed, and left them bound, in that apparently impregnable cell, to die? |
28735 | Have n''t either of you heard the sound of a plane lately?" |
28735 | Have you heard from your father?" |
28735 | Have you tried the door? |
28735 | Hear the shootin''now, do n''t ye?" |
28735 | His name? |
28735 | How about the rest of you?" |
28735 | How about the rest of you?" |
28735 | How could he get rid of these boys without disclosing to them that his was a radio- controlled plane? |
28735 | How could they escape from a cell such as this? |
28735 | How could we do that?" |
28735 | How did the station ever come to be built? |
28735 | How did you happen to change your plans and come here?" |
28735 | I suppose you were trying to point out this other plane to me then?" |
28735 | Is Lieutenant Summers aboard? |
28735 | Is it locked?" |
28735 | Is that how it happened to come down near the schooner? |
28735 | Is that what you mean?" |
28735 | It does n''t go down to the water, does it, Bob?" |
28735 | It would be a catastrophe if the plane burned just at this particular time, would n''t it? |
28735 | Jack, who had been watching developments breathlessly, ran to the bridge, and called:"May I make a suggestion, sir?" |
28735 | Jack?" |
28735 | Just throw it over here on my head, will you?" |
28735 | Look here,"he added, with sudden resolution;"where does that man, Tom Barnum, sleep?" |
28735 | Look up the Secret Service men, or have lunch first?" |
28735 | Might not that have been the indentation made by the radio plane?" |
28735 | My service pistol has been taken, and I presume you fellows also have been searched and deprived of your weapons?" |
28735 | Now what brought him down here?" |
28735 | Oh, boy, but was n''t that a blast in the ear?" |
28735 | Or did it? |
28735 | Or, would the station be deserted? |
28735 | Ought we to go away and leave him?" |
28735 | Remember?" |
28735 | Say, Jack, remember how you felt when we were licked in our attempt to escape from that dive out in San Francisco? |
28735 | Suppose that whatever has happened at that fellow''s radio plant can not be fixed up for a long period, what will Higginbotham do? |
28735 | Suppose we were to swoop down on them in our airplane, they might think, what then? |
28735 | The Bull Fighter Song, hey? |
28735 | The old Brownell place? |
28735 | Then, turning to Captain Folsom, he added:"Well, captain, where do we go from here? |
28735 | Then, what sort of ship was it probable the light came from? |
28735 | Tom, do you?" |
28735 | Tom,"he added, turning to Tom Barnum;"how big was the blaze when you saw it?" |
28735 | Two o''clock? |
28735 | Was it bearing away for the schooner? |
28735 | Was there not a gleam of satisfaction in his eyes, quickly veiled, as he saw who had come to his rescue? |
28735 | Well, what''ll we do now? |
28735 | What are your papers?" |
28735 | What can I do for you?" |
28735 | What d''ye call it? |
28735 | What do you say to laying the matter before Uncle George and Mr. Hampton at dinner? |
28735 | What does it mean? |
28735 | What happened, anyhow? |
28735 | What happened? |
28735 | What is it like? |
28735 | What say?" |
28735 | What should he say if a government boat replied? |
28735 | What time had they left home? |
28735 | What was that? |
28735 | What were you boys doing in the city to- day? |
28735 | What would he find underneath? |
28735 | What''s become of it?" |
28735 | What''s that?" |
28735 | What''s the matter with our hunting up the Secret Service men? |
28735 | Where are the others?" |
28735 | Where are we? |
28735 | Where are you calling from? |
28735 | Where is Captain Folsom?" |
28735 | Where you going?" |
28735 | Where''s Bob?" |
28735 | Who are you? |
28735 | Who commands here?" |
28735 | Who could it be? |
28735 | Who is calling?" |
28735 | Who is he, by the way, Jack?" |
28735 | Who would he find there? |
28735 | Why ca n''t you let well enough alone?" |
28735 | Will you please search your pockets, everybody?" |
28735 | Would the smugglers in the liquor ship offshore be likely to show a light? |
28735 | Yet why should they seek to recapture the Brownell place? |
28735 | You know what?" |
28735 | You think you''re grand, do n''t you, to go flying off in your airplane, on the very day I invite a girl down here to meet you?" |
35987 | A little fish, coffee-- what is there in this to give me indigestion? 35987 Again I ask, what mean you?" |
35987 | Ah,he cried,"I can trust you? |
35987 | Am I dreaming? |
35987 | And Carlos has a glass eye? |
35987 | And are all these peoples powerful? |
35987 | And did n''t he say something about our being in a place of which no report was allowed to get out? |
35987 | And does he give safe conduct? |
35987 | And from the monastery, Jack? |
35987 | And has n''t it ever been sought for? |
35987 | And he has read''Caesar''? |
35987 | And if you are killed,said Mr. Hampton,"what will happen?" |
35987 | And is it in search of this''Enchanted City''that we are going? |
35987 | And is the city really threatened? |
35987 | And is this so? |
35987 | And the Incas never conquered them, in spite of their powerful armies? |
35987 | And the third party, Dad? |
35987 | And then what, Prince Huaca? |
35987 | And they told you all this? |
35987 | And who among you understands this best? |
35987 | And why is this used rather than the other? |
35987 | And you promise we shall not be slain? |
35987 | And, Jack, you remember Don Ernesto''s toupee? |
35987 | Anything said about radio? |
35987 | Are these objects not employed? |
35987 | Ask him about a flag of truce, Dad, whether the Incarial forces would respect it? |
35987 | Because Prince Huaca asked you not to? |
35987 | But do n''t you realize that if we go now, we go as prisoners, and not under the protection of a flag of truce? |
35987 | But how? |
35987 | But in what way? |
35987 | But what if the earthquake do not come? |
35987 | But what is the danger to us in that? 35987 But what would wipe them out?" |
35987 | But who will speak from the battlement, Jack? |
35987 | But, Dad, do n''t you see? 35987 But, Dad,"protested Jack one day,"can it be the Enchanted City was among these lofty peaks? |
35987 | But, Prince Huaca,he objected,"must you not obey the Inca''s command and appear with us, or place yourself in rebellion?" |
35987 | But, can not the voice- through- the- air carry your message? |
35987 | Could they all speak Spanish? |
35987 | Could you call men from beyond the mountains to Cuso Hurrin? |
35987 | Dad,interrupted Jack,"remember what I said about the ring radio? |
35987 | Did they question you about the outside world? 35987 Did you see that?" |
35987 | Did you tell them about the modern inventions? |
35987 | Do n''t laugh, Jack, will you? |
35987 | Do you consider it would succeed? |
35987 | Do you know what this is? |
35987 | Do you know, Don Ernesto? |
35987 | Do you think so? |
35987 | Do you think, Mr. Hampton, that there is any likelihood the Enchanted City is still flourishing? |
35987 | Father,said Ferdinand,"what is your opinion of Prince Huaca?" |
35987 | First of all,said he to Michac,"how came you here, my friend?" |
35987 | Hard? 35987 Have you seen anything to make you fear?" |
35987 | How about it? |
35987 | How do you manage to keep so cheerful in this isolated spot, surrounded by these great mountains, with their eternal snows? 35987 How now, Felipe,"said he,"you show all this enthusiasm over hearing operatic music or the dance of the Pampas guachero within monastic walls?" |
35987 | How tell? |
35987 | I mean, about the old days of the Spanish Conquest of South America? 35987 If he does n''t,"said Jack,"what''s to prevent us from bluffing this High Priest, Cinto, into putting them on? |
35987 | If their leaders knew of Cusco Hurrin, they would not seek to conquer and enslave us as did the Conquerors to ancient Cusco and Inca Atahualpa? |
35987 | Is that a signal fire, or something like that, by any chance, Dad? |
35987 | It is hard to believe, is n''t it, Frank? |
35987 | Jack, do n''t you see? |
35987 | Last night? |
35987 | Listen to that, will you? |
35987 | Look at these counsellors and courtiers, will you? 35987 Look here, what do you think our chances of escape are going to be?" |
35987 | Look,said Jack excitedly,"Who is that?" |
35987 | Senor Jack, is it you? 35987 Senor, it is fine to be a boy again, is it not so?" |
35987 | So states the message, yet Senor----"What? |
35987 | So you think you''d get to be a big gun here and then open the Enchanted City to civilization? |
35987 | Still another than Spanish? |
35987 | Succeed, Senor? 35987 Suppose, too,"he said,"that the Inca refuses to don the headphones? |
35987 | That it is still inhabited by descendants of the ancient Incas and the Spaniards? |
35987 | That these descendants of the Incas should be keeping the great annual religious ceremony of their ancestors? 35987 Then they are not your servants?" |
35987 | Then you will rebel? |
35987 | They are, doubtless, far better weapons than those which we make after the pattern of the arms brought hither by the Spaniards in the early days? |
35987 | This earthquake of which you speak? 35987 To what place?" |
35987 | Tribe? |
35987 | Well boys, did you think we were never going to return? |
35987 | Well, Jack, when you think of modern inventions, you think of the airplane and radio and steamers and locomotives and telephones, do n''t you? |
35987 | Well, Jack, you remember Pedro has false teeth? 35987 Well, ca n''t they learn to make modern war?" |
35987 | Well, for goodness sake, what is it? 35987 Well, the best thing then is for us to go downstream, is n''t it?" |
35987 | Well, what of it? |
35987 | Well, what''s more fun than doing what you like to do, once in a while? 35987 Well, why not?" |
35987 | What are we waiting for? |
35987 | What did they ask you? |
35987 | What did they do with you? |
35987 | What do you mean? 35987 What do you think they will do with us, Dad?" |
35987 | What do you think we''ll find? |
35987 | What do you think, Don Ernesto? |
35987 | What does Pedro say? |
35987 | What is it, Frank? |
35987 | What is it? 35987 What is it?" |
35987 | What is that? |
35987 | What mean these strange objects borne by your men? |
35987 | What mean you? |
35987 | What says the young man? |
35987 | What shall we do? |
35987 | What think you, Senor? |
35987 | What was it like? |
35987 | What would you do, Dad? |
35987 | What''ll we do with it? 35987 What''s the joke, boys? |
35987 | What, Dad? 35987 What,"exclaimed Frank,"and stay here all our lives?" |
35987 | What? 35987 What?" |
35987 | What? |
35987 | What? |
35987 | What? |
35987 | When are they going to take off these blinkers? |
35987 | Which shall it be? |
35987 | Why did n''t you market this device yourself, Jack? |
35987 | Why in the world do you have to beat him? 35987 Why is he doing that, I wonder?" |
35987 | Why not? 35987 Why not?" |
35987 | Why not? |
35987 | Why worry, Dad? |
35987 | Why worry? 35987 Why, Dad,"asked Jack, anxiously,"What do you mean?" |
35987 | Will you come with us to the battlement, Senor? |
35987 | Wo n''t you fellows ever grow up? |
35987 | Would n''t they kill us, if we refuse to become citizens? |
35987 | Would they poison the food, perhaps, Father? |
35987 | Would we be deprived of these if we went to the Inca''s palace? |
35987 | Yes, but think you we can obtain Prince Huaca''s release? |
35987 | Yes,said Ferdinand, coming up,"and my father?" |
35987 | Yes? |
35987 | Yes? |
35987 | You said something about Frank and Bob? |
35987 | You say the peoples surrounding us are peace- loving? |
35987 | ''Art thou not of the Inca blood?'' |
35987 | ''The Young Wizards, hey?'' |
35987 | A full set, with a rubber plate that looks just like a palate?" |
35987 | All this that you see, all Santiago and Lima and our other cities-- what, after all, is it? |
35987 | Alone in this isolation, pitted against shrewd- witted men lusting for his downfall, what chance had he? |
35987 | And are we not separated from this Lord of whom you speak by many leagues of wild land? |
35987 | And it was this which led you?" |
35987 | And what did you tell them?" |
35987 | And what means this talk of lightnings? |
35987 | And you want to have a full stomach, then, or how can you perform well? |
35987 | As late as that?" |
35987 | But do n''t you think it would be rather mean to frighten our friends?" |
35987 | But how can it benefit us?" |
35987 | But what could he want with them? |
35987 | But who would think to see that ancient ceremony of the Feast of Raymi reproduced today by the descendants of the Children of the Sun?" |
35987 | But, tell me, by what right do you thus seek to interfere in the affairs of Cusco Hurrin? |
35987 | But, what I was going to ask is, What time is it?" |
35987 | But---- CHAPTER XIX-- TREACHERY"What''s that?" |
35987 | By what right do you steal upon us like this? |
35987 | CHAPTER IX-- SURPRISED IN THE FOREST"I wonder where Dad is?" |
35987 | CHAPTER XIII-- THE FEAST OF RAYMI"Fellows, what''s that?" |
35987 | CHAPTER XXII-- INTO THE INCA''S COURT"Do?" |
35987 | Ca n''t we do something? |
35987 | Ca n''t we persuade them to flee? |
35987 | Can he do this, and then restore that man to his original appearance?" |
35987 | Can it be right? |
35987 | Could he have been mistaken? |
35987 | Could it be he was mistaken? |
35987 | Did it mean, perhaps, that there really still did exist dwellers in the Enchanted City, and that his father''s party had been surprised and captured? |
35987 | Did n''t that chap call this the''Forbidden Land?''" |
35987 | Do you, therefore, hold yourselves in readiness to appear and be questioned? |
35987 | Does that suit you?" |
35987 | Further, would there be time for a man to reach Jack? |
35987 | Had anything untoward occurred in the Inca''s Council? |
35987 | Had he been wise in permitting them to go? |
35987 | Had his eyes played him tricks? |
35987 | Hampton?" |
35987 | Has it ever erupted?" |
35987 | Have you no other magic greater than these?" |
35987 | Having such a good time of it, that you hate to miss a minute?" |
35987 | He certainly was filled with stories of treasure, of Inca treasure, was n''t he?" |
35987 | Hey?" |
35987 | How about it?" |
35987 | How explain the phenomenon of radio to an idolator to whom it could mean nothing other than witchcraft and wizardry? |
35987 | How have you fared?" |
35987 | Hunt treasure? |
35987 | If one man may creep in thus easily, may not others have done so? |
35987 | If these descendants of the Incas keep their fast now, how is it our food has been cooked?" |
35987 | Is it a toy?" |
35987 | Is it not so, my friend?" |
35987 | Is it not so?" |
35987 | Is n''t it, father?" |
35987 | Is n''t that acting in a pretty broad manner for the head of a monastery?" |
35987 | Is not Cusco Hurrin a sealed city whence no messengers may depart? |
35987 | Is the Inca of Cusco Hurrin a child to be frightened by foolish tales?" |
35987 | Is this not the work of the Fiend?" |
35987 | May I ask, therefore, what your own plans are? |
35987 | Meanwhile, may not the fortress be attacked and treachery succeed, where tonight''s attempt fortunately came to naught?" |
35987 | Men, what shall it be? |
35987 | Or would he carry out his part in the plot successfully? |
35987 | Or would the reinforcements of the Palace Guard arrive in time to break down resistance? |
35987 | Perhaps, what you wish to say is for their ears, too?" |
35987 | Say, but would n''t that be an experience for you?" |
35987 | Shall I proceed, or is the Court of the Inca of Cusco Hurrin timid as a child and unwilling to look upon these marvels?" |
35987 | Shall we tell this lad"--laying his hand on Jack''s shoulder--"to pluck forth the High Priest''s eye?" |
35987 | Should he investigate? |
35987 | Should he peer around the edge or get on top of the parapet and stare down? |
35987 | So it was something like this which Prince Huaca had in mind? |
35987 | The Inca?" |
35987 | The annual festival of the Sun?" |
35987 | The party moved along in silence, until Bob declared:"Fellows, did you ever see a finer road?" |
35987 | Then he said:"But has not too much learning made them weak, so that they are like women and can not fight?" |
35987 | They will not come to loot Cusco Hurrin and slay my people, but to make friends and teach them?" |
35987 | They----""But can they read and write, can they do this?" |
35987 | This was why he had asked them not to speak of radio before the Council? |
35987 | This, then, was the reason for his interest in the subject of radio? |
35987 | Thought you were going to run into something wild and savage, did n''t you? |
35987 | Thought you''d sneak it over, hey?" |
35987 | Was he living in the twentieth century? |
35987 | Was not I? |
35987 | We know how foolish either project would be?" |
35987 | Were his enemies on the move against him? |
35987 | Were they not going to certain death, in spite of fair promises? |
35987 | What are they?" |
35987 | What are we going to do?" |
35987 | What can have detained them?" |
35987 | What could Frank have in mind? |
35987 | What could a skulker be doing here? |
35987 | What could it mean? |
35987 | What do you make of it, Dad?" |
35987 | What have you got in mind? |
35987 | What if the Inca should point to some man in disfavor and ask that they blind him, render him toothless or scalp him? |
35987 | What is it like?" |
35987 | What is it? |
35987 | What is it? |
35987 | What is it?" |
35987 | What is there to laugh at?" |
35987 | What of it? |
35987 | What shall I do?" |
35987 | What then?" |
35987 | What worked?" |
35987 | What''s all this got to do with rescuing Prince Huaca-- false teeth, glass eyes and toupee?" |
35987 | What''s the matter with you, anyway?" |
35987 | Whence, then, came the shots? |
35987 | Where can they be? |
35987 | Who knows but that some day now the Holy Father himself can speak to us, his children, in his own voice, though we dwell at the ends of the earth? |
35987 | Who knows but that some day we can hear Rome just as easily? |
35987 | Who knows? |
35987 | Who''s fighting?" |
35987 | Why had the enemy not entered? |
35987 | Why should I not command my soldiers to seize you at once?" |
35987 | Why, he asked, had plans miscarried? |
35987 | Will you ask him where we are being taken?" |
35987 | Will you fight or submit?" |
35987 | Will you permit me,"he asked suddenly,"to tender you one of them? |
35987 | Would Michac fail them? |
35987 | Would de Arguello''s expedition, for instance, have gotten so high?" |
35987 | Would n''t that just give them fits? |
35987 | Would the soldiers of the fortress win back to shelter with their comrades? |
35987 | You know my ring radio set? |
35987 | You remember that Father Collins of the parish near us at home built a Community Hall where he gives motion picture shows and radio concerts?" |
35987 | You''re going to object that Michac wo n''t know when the Inca puts on the receivers, are n''t you?" |
14278 | A thief? |
14278 | Airplane? 14278 And it seems to me I have already been of some trifling aid-- actually?" |
14278 | And that is, has anybody among our enemies-- for I suppose we can call them that-- listened- in when we spoke by radio? |
14278 | And who is this Don? |
14278 | And why, if you are friends,he demanded,"do you two appear in the clothing of Herr von Arnheim and Captain Morales?" |
14278 | Anybody here know we were coming? |
14278 | Anybody hurt? |
14278 | Anything in your house a fellow could carry off in a pocket, Hampton? |
14278 | Are n''t you going to say farewell? |
14278 | Are you calling Rollins? |
14278 | Are you scared? |
14278 | Assassin? |
14278 | But have you the key to this door? |
14278 | But how could you do that? |
14278 | But in that case, Uncle George,demanded Frank,"why would n''t the Mexicans be making trouble for the Octopus, too?" |
14278 | But the question now is, what are we going to do? 14278 But what fun do I get out of this?" |
14278 | But what makes you think the Mexicans want to get into a war with Uncle Sam? |
14278 | But where? |
14278 | But who are you, then? |
14278 | But who are you? 14278 But why, Uncle George?" |
14278 | But will you please explain? |
14278 | But, good gracious, Tom, is anything the matter? 14278 But, why?" |
14278 | But,he added, confidently,"what if they do? |
14278 | Ca n''t I listen in on this confab? |
14278 | Came to rescue you? 14278 Can I trust you?" |
14278 | Can not you see this young man is telling the truth? 14278 Can you hear me? |
14278 | Can you hear? 14278 Challenge him in Spanish, why do n''t you?" |
14278 | Did anybody get close enough to see him? 14278 Did they capture him?" |
14278 | Did you know Remedios sneaked up last night and took his flivver again, right from under our noses? |
14278 | Do the others guess who we are? |
14278 | Do you mean you will help me-- actually? |
14278 | Do you think he''ll let us fly? |
14278 | Do you think that fellow Remedios came here himself and drove it off? |
14278 | Does anybody else know of this? |
14278 | Escaped you, hey? |
14278 | Father? |
14278 | For one thing? |
14278 | Frank? 14278 Frank?" |
14278 | Go back to Hampton ranch again? |
14278 | Going? |
14278 | Great guns,grumbled Bob,"do n''t these birds ever sleep? |
14278 | Have I not said so? |
14278 | Have we any right to open this? |
14278 | Heard from Della lately? |
14278 | Here? |
14278 | How about Dad? |
14278 | How about taking a look at the radio plant? |
14278 | How about this attack on us yesterday? |
14278 | How are things going, Jack? |
14278 | How do you know? |
14278 | How far would those fellows in the airplane have to go to reach the cave after landing? |
14278 | How is that, sir? |
14278 | How long was he in there? |
14278 | How many do you make out? |
14278 | How will we do? |
14278 | How would I? |
14278 | I have n''t been given much chance to talk to''em, have I? 14278 Is it a copy of the list I recovered from the thief who stole it from Mr. Hampton''s house on Long Island?" |
14278 | Is it really you, Bob? |
14278 | Is n''t there something we can do? |
14278 | Is that so? |
14278 | Is that the way you feel about it, Jack? |
14278 | Is there only the one entrance to the cave? |
14278 | Jack? |
14278 | Just the same,he said,"the ranch would get the warning, unless--""Unless what?" |
14278 | Key? 14278 Locked doors at so early an hour?" |
14278 | Look here,he said,"is n''t there some way we can sneak up there to find out if matters are all right or not? |
14278 | Look here,said Bob to Tom Bodine,"does that cave face this way or is it on the other side of a hill?" |
14278 | Miss Calomares? |
14278 | No, that so? |
14278 | Now what will we do? |
14278 | Oh,he cried, leaping to his feet and beginning to walk up and down the room distractedly,"is n''t there something we can do? |
14278 | Opportunity? |
14278 | Or must I continue to mount guard here? 14278 Papa, what is the matter? |
14278 | Pete, did I drop an envelope-- a long blue envelope-- at breakfast? |
14278 | Saw me punch him? 14278 Say, Bob, why are you so rude to Della?" |
14278 | Say, Bob,he declared,"old Jack is n''t having all the fun after all, is he?" |
14278 | Shall we tell him what Mr. Temple says is behind all this? |
14278 | So they did n''t get you after all? 14278 So?" |
14278 | Something gone wrong? |
14278 | Tell me, is this true? |
14278 | That is, if-- When did this happen? |
14278 | That so? |
14278 | That you are an assassin sent by that horrible President Obregon? |
14278 | That''s right, Tom''s your sweetheart, is n''t he? |
14278 | Then what did you do? |
14278 | There''s the radiophone station, hey, Jack? |
14278 | They discovered you? |
14278 | Tom,said Jack, without any preliminaries, and showing his excitement in his voice and manner,"what was Mr. Rollins doing here? |
14278 | Tom? 14278 Was it not natural for two lone women to lock their door?" |
14278 | Was it the bandits? |
14278 | Well, Dad,said Jack, turning to his father,"did n''t you say Don Fernandez comes to call on you before retiring?" |
14278 | Well, do you know what I think? |
14278 | Well, then, whom was he telephoning to? |
14278 | Well,said Don Fernandez, the faintest suggestion of a twinkle in his eye,"now that you have met me, as you desired, what have you to say?" |
14278 | Were n''t there a bunch of German spies in Mexico, stirring things up there against us, during the war? 14278 What are you driving at?" |
14278 | What brings you here, Pete? |
14278 | What did you say? |
14278 | What do you know of how politics is carried on in our poor, distracted country? 14278 What do you make of it?" |
14278 | What do you make of this? |
14278 | What do you mean, Uncle George? |
14278 | What do you mean? |
14278 | What do you mean? |
14278 | What do you mean? |
14278 | What do you mean? |
14278 | What do you think I am? 14278 What does he mean Jack?" |
14278 | What does this mean? |
14278 | What happened, Tom? |
14278 | What happened? |
14278 | What in the world? |
14278 | What is it, now? |
14278 | What is it? 14278 What is it? |
14278 | What is it? |
14278 | What is it? |
14278 | What is that? |
14278 | What shall we do? |
14278 | What station do you want to call? |
14278 | What''s that? |
14278 | What''s the matter? |
14278 | What''s the trouble? |
14278 | What''s this for, Pete? |
14278 | What''s your name? 14278 What''s your other reason?" |
14278 | What? |
14278 | What? |
14278 | Whazzamatter? |
14278 | When do we pack? |
14278 | Where do you get''em? 14278 Where have you been, Jack?" |
14278 | Where is it? |
14278 | Where were you walking? |
14278 | Where''s Jack? |
14278 | Who is with you? |
14278 | Who will prepare dinner for them now? |
14278 | Who''s there? |
14278 | Whom did he talk to? |
14278 | Why have n''t I thought of that before? 14278 Why not, Dad?" |
14278 | Why not? |
14278 | Why not? |
14278 | Why not? |
14278 | Why? |
14278 | Will we carry him? |
14278 | Will you come back to capture our castle again? |
14278 | Yes,kidded Frank,"what were you aiming to do, anyway? |
14278 | You wanted to meet me? |
14278 | You would n''t hurt him, Bob, would you? |
14278 | You''re an American, are n''t you? |
14278 | You''re certainly getting it, are n''t you? 14278 You, you read the letter?" |
14278 | Young man, you''re in a hurry, are n''t you? |
14278 | Your son? |
14278 | A voice whispered so low it was barely audible to him:"That you, Jack?" |
14278 | After all, what could happen? |
14278 | All this Jack explained and then asked:"Mr. Temple, what would you advise me to do?" |
14278 | Am I right?" |
14278 | Am I right?" |
14278 | An airplane? |
14278 | And do you know what I think their purpose was? |
14278 | And here, what''s this?" |
14278 | And how do you happen to be with these fellows?" |
14278 | And how in the world is it possible for you to radio? |
14278 | And vice versa?" |
14278 | And where, may I ask, are Morales and Von Arnheim? |
14278 | And, Bob, did you notice the license number of the car? |
14278 | And-- what shall we do about father?" |
14278 | Any word from your father?" |
14278 | Anything wrong?" |
14278 | Anything you want to take with you?" |
14278 | Are n''t you, Bob? |
14278 | Are they speaking in Spanish?" |
14278 | Are you all right?" |
14278 | Are you game to follow me?" |
14278 | Are you going to leave me like this?" |
14278 | Are you hurt? |
14278 | Are you not here to watch over me? |
14278 | Are you with Obregon?" |
14278 | Before Jack could repeat his challenge, however, a familiar voice replied:"That you, Jack? |
14278 | But how are we to escape, Jack? |
14278 | But how in the world did you come here?" |
14278 | But look at the setting, will you?" |
14278 | But what I want to know is, can we telephone my father at your ranch?" |
14278 | But where did they get the petrol?" |
14278 | But where in the world could they land in these hills and in this darkness, too?" |
14278 | But who are you? |
14278 | CHAPTER XIV THE KEY TO THE MYSTERY"What is it?" |
14278 | CHAPTER XVII INSIDE THE CAVE"What is it?" |
14278 | CHAPTER XXIII THE TABLES TURNED"What was that?" |
14278 | Can he be trusted?" |
14278 | Can you hear me?" |
14278 | Did n''t it strike you all as strange that they were in an auto? |
14278 | Did you notice, Mr. Rollins? |
14278 | Do you boys feel you can keep out of mischief if left to yourselves?" |
14278 | Do you hear me? |
14278 | Do you know where the Calomares ranch is located?" |
14278 | Does that mean anything to you?" |
14278 | Donna Ana sidled close and whispered:"Shall I call your father? |
14278 | Frank voiced the question in each mind as he said in a tone of apprehension:"What do you think happened to Jack?" |
14278 | Government troops attacking, hey? |
14278 | Have you a heavy chair you can use?" |
14278 | Have you questioned them yet?" |
14278 | Have you seen Mr. Rollins this morning?" |
14278 | Holding the headpiece to his ear, he set his lips to the telephone instrument and called:"Jack, Jack, you there?" |
14278 | How closely are you tied up with the rebels? |
14278 | How did you arrive?" |
14278 | How does that fit into my theory? |
14278 | How far away is the cave? |
14278 | How far is it, by the way?" |
14278 | How will we go about it?" |
14278 | How would they have to approach the cave?" |
14278 | How''s that?" |
14278 | I thought we left you heading back for home five hours ago?" |
14278 | If he were to take flight in it, how was he to get away? |
14278 | If that were true, when the searchers came to this locked door, what would happen? |
14278 | If the Octopus is responsible for our troubles, then where do the Mexicans come in? |
14278 | Is n''t that so?" |
14278 | Jack peered into the darkness and called firmly:"Who are you?" |
14278 | Moreover, if they carried out their original plan and went to rebel headquarters to enlist, would they not there, too, be suspected? |
14278 | Mr. Hampton saved the situation by raising his voice, and calling:"Is that you, Don Fernandez? |
14278 | Now what is it you want? |
14278 | Now who were the bandits, and what did they want? |
14278 | Of those shots?" |
14278 | Oh, ca n''t we do something?" |
14278 | Put on a Wild West thriller for a bunch of tenderfeet fresh from New York?" |
14278 | Removing his hand from the microphone, he interrupted his chum with the question:"Now, who''s the lady- killer?" |
14278 | Rollins?" |
14278 | Say, Dad, we''ll go by airplane, wo n''t we?" |
14278 | Say, when are you coming? |
14278 | Shall we, telephone the county sheriff about this attack on us tonight and about Remedios? |
14278 | Suppose I go back and pick up him and Roy Stone, and leave Tom to bring in the horses?" |
14278 | Then as a new idea occurred to him, he asked:"But how about tellin''my side pard, Dave? |
14278 | Then, why are you here?" |
14278 | There''s--""What do you mean?" |
14278 | Tom Bodine?" |
14278 | Tom, what''s the lay of the land? |
14278 | Turning to Jack, he whispered:"Is it safe to tell him who we are? |
14278 | Was Tom, the ex- cowboy, on guard at the radio plant, a traitor? |
14278 | Was it part of this plot against our oil interests?" |
14278 | Was it wise for Mr. Temple, unaware of Rollins''s duplicity, to discuss matters with him? |
14278 | Was old Jack hard hit by that little Spanish beauty? |
14278 | We have them prisoners now and if we keep them well guarded until we have rescued your father, what does it matter how much they know?" |
14278 | Were they ordinary robbers after money, or was their object something deeper? |
14278 | What I came to ask was whether the man had hidden here? |
14278 | What did it all mean? |
14278 | What do you intend to do with your prisoners?" |
14278 | What do you say to capturing it and laying for them there?" |
14278 | What do you say to taking us with you? |
14278 | What do you say?" |
14278 | What happened?" |
14278 | What in the world should a fellow do in a case like this? |
14278 | What in the world?" |
14278 | What is it?" |
14278 | What is the meaning of all this noise? |
14278 | What say to calling the cave?" |
14278 | What say?" |
14278 | What should he do? |
14278 | What then?" |
14278 | What was Remedios doing here? |
14278 | What was his name, Frank?" |
14278 | What was it he must do? |
14278 | What were they doing at the radio plant? |
14278 | What were they whispering about? |
14278 | What''s that?" |
14278 | What''s the matter?" |
14278 | What''s your game? |
14278 | What? |
14278 | When do we start?" |
14278 | Who came out first? |
14278 | Who was that with him?" |
14278 | Who were the two men? |
14278 | Who would crank the motor by twirling the propeller? |
14278 | Why are you here? |
14278 | Why, Jack? |
14278 | Why, where were you?" |
14278 | Will you give it to him?" |
14278 | Will you not honor me by coming in? |
14278 | Would it be better to leave our horses here and approach on foot?" |
14278 | Would she help? |
14278 | Would this surprising girl never cease astonishing him? |
14278 | Yet what could they do even if they arrived in time? |
14278 | You remember? |
14278 | _ An_ airplane?" |
12878 | A V L."Can you do anything for me? |
12878 | A big radio plot, eh? |
12878 | A pound? |
12878 | After they''d talked their subject dry, what did they find to discuss? |
12878 | All right, Hal, we''ll accept this island as a center of probability-- what next? |
12878 | All right, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, but where''s the sense in figuring this as a big radio plot unless we can see a sensible answer to it? |
12878 | All right, what''ll it be? |
12878 | All you sold was butter? |
12878 | And did n''t you find out anything more specific than what you''ve told me? |
12878 | And did n''t you suppose some of those amateurs know some newspaper reporters? |
12878 | And did they talk about it to anybody? |
12878 | And look up there-- see that wire? 12878 And meanwhile, what did you do?" |
12878 | And the big question now is, how''re we goin''to tune it out? |
12878 | And they''re there yet? |
12878 | And to make a good story you think it is necessary to bring good people and bad people together, eh? |
12878 | And were they interested? |
12878 | And what did they do with him? |
12878 | And what did they do with him? |
12878 | And who may your father be? |
12878 | And you think we''ll find a villain if we investigate it to the end? |
12878 | Anything funny about that? 12878 Anything more?" |
12878 | Are his hands and feet tied? |
12878 | Are n''t you a white cruiser with awning mid and aft, and pilot house on bridge deck? |
12878 | Are you sorry we came? |
12878 | Both of them? |
12878 | But did n''t you hear me put two and two together when this fellow declared that this island belonged to his father? |
12878 | But does n''t it make you impatient to find out what it all means? |
12878 | But how did you get away? |
12878 | But might he not swim over to one of these surrounding islands and attract attention from there? |
12878 | But what do you expect to find? |
12878 | But, say, Cub, do n''t you think you''ve grabbed off enough glory for yourself? 12878 By the way,"Bud remarked, as they were about to leave the cabin,"would you mind telling us the handle of your name? |
12878 | Can you beat that? |
12878 | Can you get word to him of what has happened? 12878 Can you tell us where the boys are and then prove that they''re there before we let you go?" |
12878 | Cub, are you ready to start? |
12878 | Did n''t you get his Canadian call? 12878 Did n''t you see him on the island over there?" |
12878 | Did you get that? |
12878 | Did you lock''i m up in a stateroom? |
12878 | Did you make that out here to- night? |
12878 | Did you pick up any more from them since then? |
12878 | Do n''t know what? |
12878 | Do n''t you know the rules governing that distress signal? |
12878 | Do n''t you know? |
12878 | Do n''t your friends know those men are there? |
12878 | Do you deny that you were just telegraphing a message to a friend of yours? |
12878 | Do you expect a villain to show his hand? |
12878 | Do you know that butter is selling now for thirty- nine or forty cents a pound? |
12878 | Do you know what it means? |
12878 | Do you mean that, Hal? |
12878 | Do you really believe the Crusoe boy is your cousin, Hal? |
12878 | Do you see that stake there? |
12878 | Do you think your father will let us go? |
12878 | Does it give any hint where he is now, Hal? |
12878 | Does n''t it satisfy your lordship? |
12878 | Fer sale? |
12878 | Found what? |
12878 | Has anything happened? |
12878 | Have n''t I given you enough hint? |
12878 | Have you a cousin named Hal? |
12878 | Have you a flag of distress flying? |
12878 | Have you a good map of the Thousand Island region? |
12878 | Have you any fire- arms on sale here? |
12878 | Have you any relatives in the United States? |
12878 | Have you any relatives named Stone? |
12878 | Have you worked it out by mathematics, dad? |
12878 | He was on an island, was he? |
12878 | How about those sophomores who kidnapped your cousin and marooned him here? |
12878 | How are they going to get hold of it? |
12878 | How can I present the matter so as to start you out right? 12878 How can you use that to explain a mystery?" |
12878 | How could they help us? |
12878 | How could you drive them off of here when they had no boat to go in? |
12878 | How do you know that? |
12878 | How do you know they would n''t do something worse than haze freshmen? |
12878 | How do you know? |
12878 | How does the discovery of my cousin come in? |
12878 | How far do you think we had better go? |
12878 | How long would the trip take? |
12878 | How many are they of your friends? |
12878 | How many chapters do you figure it would make thus far? |
12878 | How much did you charge for butter? |
12878 | How''s that? |
12878 | How''s that? |
12878 | How''s that? |
12878 | How? |
12878 | I? 12878 Is he at home?" |
12878 | Is his name Raymond Flood? |
12878 | Is it Oswego? |
12878 | Is it Rochester? |
12878 | Is that all you can say? |
12878 | Is that geography or mathematics? |
12878 | Is that motor boat that brought you here down at the landing yet? |
12878 | Is that so? 12878 Is that so?" |
12878 | Is the island for sale? |
12878 | Is the name Hal Stone familiar to you? |
12878 | Is there a boy in there? |
12878 | Is there any way we can get in? |
12878 | Is there anything I can do to help you? |
12878 | Is there something going on here that you do n''t want the authorities to know anything about? |
12878 | It''s a radio- college story, is n''t it? |
12878 | It''s common sense, is n''t it? |
12878 | More of a puzzle than ever, is n''t it? |
12878 | Mystery, was n''t it? |
12878 | New York City? |
12878 | Next question, how long are we going to stay here? |
12878 | Nor the geography? |
12878 | Now, for an answer to question number three-- What shall we do while here? |
12878 | Now, what is the question, Hal? |
12878 | Now, what next? |
12878 | Now, would you like to make a trip down to the landing and occupy a stateroom in the Catwhisker with your father? 12878 On what ground?" |
12878 | Peeled for what? |
12878 | Permit for what? |
12878 | See how the grass is tramped down around here? |
12878 | Shall I give him the information? |
12878 | Shall we dash to the rescue and face those four men, who probably are armed with pistols? |
12878 | Shall we go ashore and look that place over? |
12878 | Small or large? |
12878 | So that is your explanation for not being very familiar with retail prices, is it? |
12878 | So that''s the way the wind blows, is it? 12878 Some more mystery, eh?" |
12878 | Still, do n''t you think the search has been worth while? |
12878 | Suppose you and Cub go and leave Bud and me here to look after the camp and watch for developments? |
12878 | Sure-- why not? |
12878 | That about completes the list, does n''t it? |
12878 | The chief problem now remaining to be solved is, what became of your cousin? |
12878 | The island? 12878 The question-- what was the question?" |
12878 | Then your name is not Alvin Baker? |
12878 | This makes it look as if that last distress message we got from the island was no fake affair? |
12878 | Was it those four men who made prisoners of you? |
12878 | Was n''t it more mechanical than mathematical? |
12878 | Was n''t it ordered that both of us should be Fridays? |
12878 | We''re not exactly right in calling Hal''s cousin a Robinson Crusoe, are we? |
12878 | Well, how are we goin''to begin? |
12878 | Well, how does it stand? |
12878 | Well, shall we stop, turn to the right or left, or go ahead? |
12878 | Well, suppose we find the island and nobody there, how are we going to know it''s the right one? |
12878 | Well, that''s what makes fireworks, is n''t it? |
12878 | Well, what are you in favor of doing? |
12878 | Well, what did you mean? |
12878 | Well, what do I pay you for? |
12878 | Well, what luck? |
12878 | Well, what''s the question? |
12878 | Well, what''s your idea, Tee- hee? |
12878 | Well,mused Cub;"the others are history, geography, spelling--""Why did n''t you stop with geography?" |
12878 | Well? |
12878 | Were they? |
12878 | Were you listening to them all the time you were gone? |
12878 | What are sines and cosines? |
12878 | What are they doing here? 12878 What are they?" |
12878 | What are they? |
12878 | What are we going to do about Bud''s prisoner? |
12878 | What authorities shall we ask to help us? |
12878 | What can we do here nearly two hundred miles away from him? |
12878 | What city? |
12878 | What did you do with the prisoner? |
12878 | What did you sell butter at a loss for? |
12878 | What do you do there? |
12878 | What do you make out of it, then? |
12878 | What do you mean by that? |
12878 | What do you mean by that? |
12878 | What do you think is going to happen? |
12878 | What do you think we ought to do? |
12878 | What does that mean? |
12878 | What fer? |
12878 | What for? 12878 What for?" |
12878 | What in the world does that mean? |
12878 | What in the world shall we do? |
12878 | What in thunder is that? |
12878 | What is his last name? |
12878 | What is it? |
12878 | What is the next step for us to take? |
12878 | What is your call? |
12878 | What is your name? |
12878 | What kind of mathematics would you use to locate that treasure? |
12878 | What kind of men are they-- rough characters, bad men? |
12878 | What kind of store? |
12878 | What makes you so certain of that? |
12878 | What makes you think that? |
12878 | What story? |
12878 | What was it that happened? |
12878 | What was the price of butter the last day you worked? |
12878 | What with? |
12878 | What would you charge him with? 12878 What''ll we do next, then?" |
12878 | What''ll we do? |
12878 | What''re you fellers doin''on our island? |
12878 | What''s that you got there? |
12878 | What''s that? |
12878 | What''s the matter, Bud? |
12878 | What''s the matter? |
12878 | What''s the trouble, boys? |
12878 | What''s the use? |
12878 | What''s this? |
12878 | What''s up now, dad? |
12878 | What''s your call? |
12878 | What, for instance? |
12878 | What-- return the goat or disprove the mystery? |
12878 | When are you coming to Rockport? |
12878 | When? |
12878 | Where are they now? |
12878 | Where are we-- in Canada or the United States? |
12878 | Where are you now? |
12878 | Where did they go? |
12878 | Where did you get that? |
12878 | Where do they live? |
12878 | Where do you live? |
12878 | Where is Alvin? |
12878 | Where is he? |
12878 | Where is that international boundary line? |
12878 | Where is the maze of language in this affair? |
12878 | Where is your cousin now? |
12878 | Where is your island? |
12878 | Where was the fellow who tried to head us off? |
12878 | Where was the island operator when he sent his last message? 12878 Where''d your friends go?" |
12878 | Where''ll we go? |
12878 | Where''s the best place to fish? |
12878 | Where-- not here? |
12878 | Who are they? |
12878 | Who are you? |
12878 | Who else is on this island? |
12878 | Who is he-- one of that gang? |
12878 | Who is he? |
12878 | Who put that stake there? |
12878 | Who told you all o''that? |
12878 | Who was that fellow that snapped you up so sassy? |
12878 | Who''ll be Crusoe and who''ll be Friday? |
12878 | Whom is he talking to? |
12878 | Why ca n''t you help map it out? |
12878 | Why did n''t he tell us he was being hazed by some college boys? |
12878 | Why did you leave them? |
12878 | Why do I get your goat, Bob? |
12878 | Why do n''t you shoot at him? |
12878 | Why do you think something more is going to happen? |
12878 | Why is it you''re so anxious to have us go? |
12878 | Why not make it''meow''? |
12878 | Why not try to get in touch with some amateur in Cousin Alvin''s home town by wireless? |
12878 | Why not, if we insist on staying? 12878 Why not?" |
12878 | Why not? |
12878 | Why should n''t we be able to find him? |
12878 | Why should they care if we''re here? 12878 Why, do n''t you believe the explanation he telegraphed to us?" |
12878 | Why, do you think his story is true and''Bobby Crusoe''is a fake? |
12878 | Why, what''s doing? |
12878 | Why, where has your father gone, Cub? |
12878 | Why-- what do you mean? 12878 Why?" |
12878 | Why? |
12878 | Why? |
12878 | Why? |
12878 | Why? |
12878 | With mathematics? |
12878 | Without consulting me? |
12878 | Would that be mathematics or geography? |
12878 | Would you like me to turn you over to the father of the boy whom your scoundrel gang kidnapped? 12878 Yes, but the question is, how many steps do we have to take before we settle this-- this-- mystery?" |
12878 | You always have the last word? |
12878 | You do n''t happen to carry a deed to it in your pocket, do you? |
12878 | You do n''t mean that fellow is really your cousin? |
12878 | You do n''t think I''d be down here if I could, do you? |
12878 | You have n''t heard anything from him, have you? |
12878 | You mean butterine, do n''t you? |
12878 | You mean, maybe the whole thing''s a fake-- eh? |
12878 | You say you got that kind of message from those boys? |
12878 | You see we are moving in a geometric circle, do you not? |
12878 | You think it''s a joke? |
12878 | And do n''t you remember that my cousin Al visited us three years ago with his father and mother? |
12878 | At 8:30 next morning Cub called Hal on the telephone and inquired:"Hello, Hal, did you talk to your folks about our plan?" |
12878 | Baker?" |
12878 | But what branch of mathematics is it?" |
12878 | But, say, do n''t you think we''d better make further investigation?" |
12878 | By means of what branch of mathematics was that island of our Canadian Crusoe located?" |
12878 | By the way, what did that fellow say before Bud and I began to listen- in?" |
12878 | CHAPTER II Tragedy or Joke? |
12878 | CHAPTER III Talking It Over What could the fellows say? |
12878 | CHAPTER VIII Mathematics or Geography? |
12878 | CHAPTER XIII"Robinson Crusoe''s"Diary"How in the world did you find that out?" |
12878 | CHAPTER XVI Running Down a Radio Fake"You say you are V A X?" |
12878 | CHAPTER XVIII Unwelcome Visitors"Why, Bud, what do you mean?" |
12878 | CHAPTER XXII The"Crusoe Mystery"Deepens"Now, where have you boys been? |
12878 | CHAPTER XXVI The Sling Shot Victim"What''s the matter, boys?" |
12878 | Ca n''t you help Bob and Hal out? |
12878 | Ca n''t you reach me? |
12878 | Can anybody help me? |
12878 | Can you go to the dock and ask them to hurry back? |
12878 | Can you walk?" |
12878 | Could n''t you sleep?" |
12878 | Cub communicated this condition to the cabin, and Hal dot- and- dashed the following to"VAX":"Where are you? |
12878 | Cub waited a few moments for further comment, but as it was slow coming, he asked impulsively:"What are we going to do?" |
12878 | Did those men take you away? |
12878 | Did you escape? |
12878 | Did you get anything from him, Bud?" |
12878 | Did you get the one in which he confessed the affair was a hoax?" |
12878 | Did you not notice his peculiar manner of sending? |
12878 | Do they claim they own this island?" |
12878 | Do they own this island?" |
12878 | Do you know how to handle an automatic, Bob?" |
12878 | Do you run a boat on the river?" |
12878 | Do you think we''d better turn about and go back home?" |
12878 | Do you understand me? |
12878 | First, why are we here?" |
12878 | Funny surveyor''s stake, is n''t it?" |
12878 | Have you made that fellow out yet?" |
12878 | He''s a reporter, is n''t he?" |
12878 | How did you escape?" |
12878 | How many amateurs do you suppose were listening in and got the messages between you and those two radio contestants?" |
12878 | How would you do that without something to guide your radio compass?" |
12878 | How''s that?" |
12878 | If I have to bring you over into Canada, you''ll come on a stretcher-- see? |
12878 | Just before sending the message that reached its goal, Bud received the following from VAX:"Where are you? |
12878 | Now, do n''t you think it is best for you to give up your secret and tell where that boy is?" |
12878 | Now, what we want to know is, where is he?" |
12878 | Now, will you tell me your name? |
12878 | Perry?" |
12878 | Pretty far fetched is n''t it?" |
12878 | So that''s the international boundary line, is it?" |
12878 | So what''s the use o''kickin''?" |
12878 | Then came the following message:"Have you not given it up yet, boys? |
12878 | Then the operator on Friday Island put the following questions to him:"Do you know Alvin Baker?" |
12878 | Well, what''s the mystery now?" |
12878 | What could they be up to? |
12878 | What did you sell eggs and potatoes for the last day you worked?" |
12878 | What do they indicate, dad? |
12878 | What do you think would happen to you if he got hold of you? |
12878 | What kind of discovery have you made?" |
12878 | What kind of publicity stunt is this, anyway?" |
12878 | What say you, fellows?" |
12878 | What shall we do next?" |
12878 | What-- you ca n''t get up? |
12878 | Where are you?" |
12878 | Where are you?" |
12878 | Where did they take you? |
12878 | Who wants the first watch?" |
12878 | Why did you come out here? |
12878 | Why go through all that Robinson Crusoe nonsense if the end was to be just a plain kidnapping?" |
12878 | Why not tell me now where he is?" |
12878 | Why was that?" |
12878 | You are a Canadian, ai n''t you?" |
23728 | A sweatshop? 23728 A telephone message? |
23728 | Ai n''t that a band? |
23728 | And Miss Nancy? |
23728 | And after provisioning up there Daly was to cruise, eh? |
23728 | And are these harbor stations on islands too? |
23728 | And did he? |
23728 | And do foreign ships have to fall into line and do as our ships do when they come here? |
23728 | And if I am, what then? |
23728 | And left you to tend the tape, did he? |
23728 | And returned? |
23728 | And she was n''t there? |
23728 | And that is all that goes outside the building? |
23728 | And that is? |
23728 | And the dogs? |
23728 | And the rest? |
23728 | And the shore stations? |
23728 | And there was nobody about the place all that time? |
23728 | And what is it for? |
23728 | And what kind of a nurse would he be, do you think, with his ear to that switchboard from daylight until dark? |
23728 | And you did not give the key to any of the maids? |
23728 | And you like dogs? |
23728 | And you really believe a thunderstorm would cause a noise like this? |
23728 | And you''ve come to stay? |
23728 | And-- and what about Lola? |
23728 | Anything heard from Bob? |
23728 | Anything the matter, kid? |
23728 | Are n''t we going to hear anything but this whistling and groaning? 23728 Are n''t you the tyrant, though?" |
23728 | Are they always the same length? |
23728 | Are they fed only once a day? |
23728 | Are you disappointed, Archibald? |
23728 | Are you sure? |
23728 | Bob never could abide clam fritters, could he? |
23728 | Bob? 23728 Broadcast? |
23728 | But are you to be busy to- night? |
23728 | But could Bob leave now, Archibald? |
23728 | But do not the land stations that send messages sometimes interfere with these stations? |
23728 | But he always does call, does n''t he? |
23728 | But how can they be if any and everybody can listen in? |
23728 | But how can they talk and act as one station if they are so far apart? |
23728 | But how can we tell where all that stuff leaves off? |
23728 | But how can you? |
23728 | But how could she with-- with everybody around? |
23728 | But how do messages come through such a chaos? |
23728 | But my dear boy, did n''t you leave her there? |
23728 | But sometimes along the coast are n''t there big government stations belonging to the army or navy? 23728 But suppose I should n''t hear it?" |
23728 | But suppose the government did n''t know anything about such a ship? |
23728 | But suppose the operator who is transmitting went faster than you could? |
23728 | But what about high- power stations? |
23728 | But what good would it do even if we did get his signal? |
23728 | But what is the message? 23728 But what on earth are you doing it_ for_?" |
23728 | But what use is it? |
23728 | But why could n''t he have told us more? |
23728 | But why such a network of other rules? |
23728 | But would you set out to-- that is the question? 23728 But you are not going to let him go scott free, are you Dad?" |
23728 | But you have an idea of it now, have n''t you? |
23728 | Ca n''t we? |
23728 | Can any one get one? |
23728 | Can you understand them yourself? |
23728 | Could n''t find your hidden treasure, eh, old boy? |
23728 | Could n''t the ship waiting to talk send a message in a different wave length? |
23728 | Could n''t you get some one to come and keep you company? |
23728 | Could they get the name of the boat? |
23728 | Could you? |
23728 | Dad? 23728 Did I get the name?" |
23728 | Did you and O''Connel both decide to leave? |
23728 | Did you call? |
23728 | Did you ever know any one to go hungry in this house? |
23728 | Did you ever play baseball, kid? |
23728 | Did you hear what I said? |
23728 | Did you wish to see me? |
23728 | Do n''t they sometimes? |
23728 | Do n''t you hope the outfit will show up well? 23728 Do n''t you think we know anything?" |
23728 | Do n''t you want your dinner? |
23728 | Do you happen to know anything about wireless? |
23728 | Do you imagine boarders will eat more than Bob or I? |
23728 | Do you know the infallible person who can boast such a record? |
23728 | Do you suppose Bob would mind? |
23728 | Do you suppose you will hear anything more to- night? |
23728 | Do you suppose your father knows anything about the Morse code? |
23728 | Do you take it they are still cruising with the boat? |
23728 | Do you think you will hear by nine? |
23728 | Do you think you''ll get any message before I go to bed? |
23728 | Does n''t the Morse Continental bother you a bit? |
23728 | Dogs all right? |
23728 | Everybody ready? |
23728 | Fifteen, are you? |
23728 | For mercy''s sake who is Mr. Burns, and why do you want to go and see him hot off the bat? |
23728 | Four weeks, eh? 23728 Fry''em? |
23728 | Get any of it? |
23728 | Going to take the yacht through the Canal? |
23728 | Gone, was it? 23728 Guess who''s here?" |
23728 | Have n''t you another chap who can play, Dick? |
23728 | Have they found out anything yet, sir? |
23728 | Have you ever considered how badly we are in want of money, Walter? |
23728 | Have you got to rush back to another job? |
23728 | He would n''t be such an idiot as to stand by and see the dog die, would he? |
23728 | He would not need to be gone more than one night, would he? |
23728 | How could she run away, even if she had a mind to, with the gate locked? |
23728 | How did he learn? |
23728 | How many foreign countries can talk with us? |
23728 | How old is he? |
23728 | How would you like to be nursemaid to six or eight brainless little pups no bigger than rats? 23728 I can understand all that; but are n''t there a score of other regulations?" |
23728 | I do n''t imagine it is right, do you? |
23728 | I say, Mr. Burns,burst out Walter,"are you terribly busy? |
23728 | I suppose O''Connel understands this difficulty, does n''t he? |
23728 | I suppose transmitting is a great deal harder than receiving anyhow, is n''t it? |
23728 | I suppose you let out on O''Connel, did n''t you, after he got through talking this morning? |
23728 | I wonder if he will have any tidings for us? |
23728 | I''m afraid----"What? |
23728 | I''m crazy to get tidings, are n''t you? |
23728 | If you do that, wo n''t the whole affair have to be aired and Mr. Daly dragged into the trial? |
23728 | Is all the general transmission of messages given such care? |
23728 | Is it he? |
23728 | Is it so hard? |
23728 | Is n''t it almost time for O''Connel to signal? |
23728 | Is n''t it infernal luck? |
23728 | Is n''t something out of order? |
23728 | Is n''t there anything we can do to hustle up the inspector? |
23728 | Is n''t there anything we can do, Archibald? 23728 Is that Morse code hard to learn?" |
23728 | Is this the best day you could manage to get together, Jerry? |
23728 | It is a good proof of how one science can help another, is n''t it? |
23728 | It is n''t time for him to call, is it? |
23728 | It sounds simple, does n''t it? |
23728 | It''s awful that I have to keep having so many things, is n''t it? 23728 Keep still, ca n''t you?" |
23728 | Lola? 23728 Lola? |
23728 | Look like? 23728 May I speak to you a moment, sir?" |
23728 | Me? 23728 Me?" |
23728 | My soul and body,whispered Jerry from his corner,"did anybody ever hear such a sound? |
23728 | Never heard of it-- or, stop a minute, is n''t there a wireless station there or something? |
23728 | News, Bob? |
23728 | No more of them missing? |
23728 | Not a reference of any sort? |
23728 | Not much like the navigation of the old days, is it? |
23728 | Now where do you wish to put us, Dick? |
23728 | Off Gloucester, eh, and bound north? 23728 Oh, the kennels, you mean? |
23728 | Oh, the young chap who is going to look after the dogs? |
23728 | Old or young? |
23728 | Penalty? |
23728 | Provoke him? 23728 Quite some adventure, eh?" |
23728 | Richard? 23728 Say, who are you, anyway? |
23728 | Shall you be back for the wireless lesson? |
23728 | She''s not at the kennels? |
23728 | She? 23728 So Daly has a place down on Long Island, has he?" |
23728 | So it is you who are to be master of the kennels? |
23728 | So that is all there is to it, eh? |
23728 | So the men just suit themselves, eh? |
23728 | So the ships themselves are not allowed to take up their own quarrel if they are challenged? |
23728 | So you think you can take care of a lot of prize pups, do you? |
23728 | Sometimes it is necessary----"To wait? 23728 Surely you do n''t mean to start Walter in learning about wireless, do you?" |
23728 | That would n''t do for you, eh? |
23728 | The Morse Continental? 23728 The boss?" |
23728 | The circuit? |
23728 | The lead in? |
23728 | The money? 23728 The question is, could we set it up if we had it?" |
23728 | The sending part of the machine is more complicated, is it? |
23728 | The_ Siren_, eh? |
23728 | Then what do you say next? |
23728 | Then why not to- day? |
23728 | Then why not whiffle round now and just for a change be prepared for the best? |
23728 | Then you think there is nothing more to be done at present but sit right here and see what happens? |
23728 | They? |
23728 | Think this will suit your Highness? |
23728 | Those are our trans- Atlantic stations, are n''t they? |
23728 | Tinkering with those wires, you mean? |
23728 | Use? 23728 Walter?" |
23728 | Want me to come out, do you? 23728 Want to come in with us as shortstop?" |
23728 | Want to hear it? |
23728 | Want to see''em? |
23728 | Was n''t there a boy around here somewhere this morning with the dogs? 23728 Well, Ma, you have n''t had to lie awake worrying because I was too good for this world, have you?" |
23728 | Well, after you have given the true bearing the ship wires: Q T F."And that means? |
23728 | Well, what are you waiting for? |
23728 | Well, what''s the matter with that? |
23728 | Well,began he, when he was within calling distance,"any news yet?" |
23728 | Well-- are you? |
23728 | Well-- well-- what are you going to do with me? |
23728 | Well? |
23728 | Well? |
23728 | Were you ever stationed at one? |
23728 | What are you going to do now? |
23728 | What are you going to do? |
23728 | What did he say about it? |
23728 | What did he say? 23728 What did they look like?" |
23728 | What do you mean by_ able to hear at all_? |
23728 | What do you mean, Ma? |
23728 | What do you mean, Mater? |
23728 | What do you mean? |
23728 | What do you say we go over and fool round with the radio a while? |
23728 | What do you suppose they''ll do now? |
23728 | What do you think we are up here? |
23728 | What else could he do? |
23728 | What experience have you had with radio, pray? |
23728 | What for? 23728 What happens if you call a station and nobody answers?" |
23728 | What have you been doing? |
23728 | What if you have n''t? 23728 What in the name of goodness----?" |
23728 | What in thunder do you suppose has become of him? |
23728 | What is a commercial station? |
23728 | What is it? 23728 What is it? |
23728 | What is it? 23728 What is it?" |
23728 | What is that thing they are putting in place now? |
23728 | What on earth are you talking about? |
23728 | What on earth has struck you, you giant? |
23728 | What time is it? 23728 What you up to anyhow?" |
23728 | What''s a Q T E? |
23728 | What''s money if all the kids in town are going to josh you? |
23728 | What''s that, Bob? |
23728 | What''s that? |
23728 | What''s that? |
23728 | What? |
23728 | When can you come? |
23728 | When shall you want me? |
23728 | When there''s wrecks, you mean? |
23728 | Where did you get this? |
23728 | Where did you learn to play ball, young one? |
23728 | Where did you pick up so much knowledge? |
23728 | Where do you suppose it is? |
23728 | Where is it? |
23728 | Where was you fetched up, man? 23728 Where will they be?" |
23728 | Where''s the brush? |
23728 | Who are you, young man? |
23728 | Who can tell? |
23728 | Who has the big chore of following up all these people and making certain that they are conforming to the law? |
23728 | Who is for a swim? 23728 Who will join me?" |
23728 | Who''s going to catch for the Crimson team? |
23728 | Who, I should like to know? |
23728 | Why did n''t I think of him before? |
23728 | Why do n''t you, Sis? |
23728 | Why in thunder could n''t you keep still? 23728 Wo n''t he what, my dear?" |
23728 | Wondered? |
23728 | You ca n''t sail out of reach of Uncle Sam, eh? 23728 You could identify him, could n''t you, Bob?" |
23728 | You could n''t remain over a few days and overhaul my yacht, could you? 23728 You could n''t stretch it to two?" |
23728 | You do n''t suppose anything has happened to Lola, do you? |
23728 | You do n''t, eh? |
23728 | You have n''t seen Lola, have you, Jerry? |
23728 | You have? 23728 You just thought it was a cheap sort of a position and that I was to race round and make it pleasant for a lot of ordinary curs, did n''t you?" |
23728 | You mean about what they shall and shall not do? |
23728 | You mean to say it''s just in here? |
23728 | You need n''t repeat all of it, need you? |
23728 | You think, do n''t you, that we will hear something definite this morning? |
23728 | You wish to see me? |
23728 | You would n''t? |
23728 | You would think they were frying doughnuts,grinned Dick,"would n''t you?" |
23728 | You''d like having him here then? |
23728 | You''ll be getting paid for it, wo n''t you-- well paid? 23728 You''ll fry these flounders for supper, wo n''t you, Ma?" |
23728 | You''re not sick? |
23728 | You''re sure your father wo n''t mind our taking the car? |
23728 | You''ve no inkling whether the developments he mentioned are to be soon or not? |
23728 | Your brother? 23728 _ Bob?_"Mr. Crowninshield nodded. |
23728 | _ What is my position?_"And you have to repeat those words before giving it just as you did before? |
23728 | _ What is my position?_"And you have to repeat those words before giving it just as you did before? |
23728 | _ What?_"This job about Lola is nothing to do with you, my son. 23728 ( What was the use of telling him that? 23728 All he said was:_ Wait developments._"Not a word about Lola? |
23728 | And even if they did appear like ordinary mortals were there not their myriad disguises? |
23728 | And he can really send and receive messages?" |
23728 | And how has he contrived to escape from the yacht without being held up? |
23728 | And if beneath this worthy motive lurked a certain desire to see whatever there was to be seen, who can say his curiosity was not pardonable? |
23728 | And if such a result was accomplished had not the owner of Surfside promised that he would never forget the service? |
23728 | And suppose he heard a dot too much and did n''t get the thing the other fellow was trying to tell him straight?" |
23728 | And that other thing?" |
23728 | And who would I be frying clams for?" |
23728 | Are n''t we doing all we can? |
23728 | Are you clean starved? |
23728 | But do be careful, wo n''t you? |
23728 | But suppose Bob had told already and harm was done? |
23728 | Ca n''t one of the chauffeurs take us down there?" |
23728 | Ca n''t we drum him up?" |
23728 | Can any one tell?" |
23728 | Chuck them over on the floor for me, wo n''t you?" |
23728 | Crowninshield?" |
23728 | Crowninshield?" |
23728 | Crowninshield?" |
23728 | Dacie and Lyman traced the car that carried Lola as far as Buzzard''s Bay and discovered that there----""Yes?" |
23728 | Did n''t the chap come into the station to get water for his machine?" |
23728 | Did n''t you hear what Peters said?" |
23728 | Did you hear that?" |
23728 | Did you know that? |
23728 | Did you tell Mr. Crowninshield about it?" |
23728 | Did you think Mr. Crowninshield picked me out himself? |
23728 | Did you want me?" |
23728 | Do be watchful of your shoes and use them carefully, wo n''t you, for they cost a mint of money? |
23728 | Do n''t their powerful currents damage the receiving sets in stations near them? |
23728 | Do n''t you recall my mentioning such coastal stations?" |
23728 | Do they do that too?" |
23728 | Do you just keep on calling as you do at the telephone?" |
23728 | Do you know whether he has done anything yet or not?" |
23728 | Do you see that?" |
23728 | Do you suppose I want you lost in a fog and never heard from again?" |
23728 | Do you suppose O''Connel has kidnapped Lola; or how has he got possession of her? |
23728 | Do you suppose if he got it we could rig it up together?" |
23728 | Do you understand? |
23728 | Do you want Daly to smell a rat and toss his stolen property into the sea? |
23728 | Does it make any sense at all?" |
23728 | Fired from your job?" |
23728 | Funny, ai n''t it?" |
23728 | Got something to show me?" |
23728 | Have you asked Jerry or Tim?" |
23728 | He went so fast----Did you get anything?" |
23728 | How did you get here, old top? |
23728 | How have you kept that promise? |
23728 | How long is it going to keep up like this?" |
23728 | How will that do?" |
23728 | Hurry, ca n''t you?" |
23728 | I do n''t have to sign up to a creed like that, though, if I do n''t want to, do I?" |
23728 | I guess it took some nerve to come up here and tell me this, did n''t it?" |
23728 | If they are going to put you ashore at Boston to buy supplies, why would n''t it be a good plan for you to take the dog to the animal hospital there? |
23728 | In the meantime our complaint can be lodged against them and----""Are n''t we to have the fun of jailing them after all?" |
23728 | Infernal, is n''t it?" |
23728 | Instead of piping,"Hi, Mr. Crowninshield, did you find out anything?" |
23728 | Is n''t it the limit that we have n''t brains enough to get O''Connel?" |
23728 | Is she here?" |
23728 | Is the dog there? |
23728 | It is a foolish habit, is n''t it? |
23728 | It was queer they should do it to- day, was n''t it?" |
23728 | Like dogs?" |
23728 | Listen in?" |
23728 | Meet me, O''Con_----''Where in thunder you goin?" |
23728 | O''Connel thinks she is n''t well? |
23728 | O''Connel?" |
23728 | O''Connel?" |
23728 | On reaching the veranda he found his class assembled and the first comment to reach his ears was:"No news from O''Connel, eh?" |
23728 | One of the Vanderbilts?" |
23728 | Open a window, ca n''t you?" |
23728 | Or another member of the audience would call:"Was you reckonin''you''d have enough paint in that keg to finish your yawl, Eddie? |
23728 | Or suppose they were to be stolen? |
23728 | Really?" |
23728 | Say, Ma, what do you s''pose? |
23728 | So he is at home sometimes?" |
23728 | So you and the men have been here all the afternoon?" |
23728 | Some other dog taken it?" |
23728 | Still, why should you mind? |
23728 | Suppose he was not able to hold the job at Surfside once it was his? |
23728 | Suppose some of the little wretches were to run away and get lost? |
23728 | That''s fair, ai n''t it?" |
23728 | The place is like an oven, is n''t it? |
23728 | Then on observing his father was unwontedly excited he repeated,"What''s up, Dad?" |
23728 | They''re beauties, are n''t they? |
23728 | Was ever sky so cloudless, grass so vividly green, or ocean so sparkling? |
23728 | Was n''t he always at the head of his class? |
23728 | Was n''t it infernal luck to encounter this delay? |
23728 | Was there not his pay envelope to compensate him? |
23728 | Well, Pater, what was it?" |
23728 | What are we going to do?" |
23728 | What are we in the world for?" |
23728 | What are you doing, man? |
23728 | What are you going to do?" |
23728 | What are you so scrimpin''of it for? |
23728 | What do I care for that? |
23728 | What do I wish to go tramping over the country again for?" |
23728 | What do you say to that?" |
23728 | What do you say we let well enough alone and drop it?" |
23728 | What do you say?" |
23728 | What do you suppose is in the wind?" |
23728 | What do you think of that? |
23728 | What do you want to say?" |
23728 | What does it say?" |
23728 | What good could he do? |
23728 | What has that got to do with it?" |
23728 | What if he were to fail in those final exams? |
23728 | What is it?" |
23728 | What is the use of digging up that old bone again? |
23728 | What makes you think they are?" |
23728 | What more can we ask? |
23728 | What on earth is the matter?" |
23728 | What then? |
23728 | What time will your show begin?" |
23728 | What was it all about? |
23728 | What would she be doing round here, I''d like to know?" |
23728 | What would_ he_ say-- that was the question? |
23728 | What you after, young one? |
23728 | What''s been happening in my absence, anyhow?" |
23728 | What''s come over this generation anyway?" |
23728 | What''s got you, old man? |
23728 | What''s the matter with you? |
23728 | What''s the use of fighting a skunk like that? |
23728 | When, however, he had finished, Bob''s crisp tones came singing over the wire:"You went out to walk about three, you say?" |
23728 | Where else could she be?" |
23728 | Where they were now, who could tell? |
23728 | Where was the yacht?" |
23728 | Which is the better way? |
23728 | Who could tell? |
23728 | Who knows?" |
23728 | Who would I be patching torn trousers or darning ripped sweaters for if you were like Bob, I''d like to know? |
23728 | Who''d be pestering me to hunt up his cap and mittens? |
23728 | Why borrow trouble? |
23728 | Why could n''t I just sit here on the piazza? |
23728 | Why did n''t you tell me more about this family paragon of yours? |
23728 | Why did you have to run hot- footed to the telephone the first thing? |
23728 | Why gratify it?" |
23728 | Why in goodness did they build the station there?" |
23728 | Why must you always be wanting to go to sea to earn money?" |
23728 | Why need Mr. Crowninshield know anything about it? |
23728 | Why should he care?" |
23728 | Why, their chattering seemed to be endless? |
23728 | Why? |
23728 | Why?" |
23728 | Will Burns be at the station now?" |
23728 | Will it be that bad?" |
23728 | Wondering where your boss was, eh? |
23728 | Would the talkers never stop? |
23728 | Would you really put your entire attention on those dogs so that other people could drop them from their minds? |
23728 | You have n''t seen Lola, have you?" |
23728 | You know how they always roll up a coat or something and stuff it under drowned persons''shoulders to throw their head backward? |
23728 | You know how to lay a fire, do n''t you?" |
23728 | You may be useful, who knows?" |
23728 | You recall that at the beginning I mentioned the pitch, note, or key of the sound produced or received?" |
23728 | _ What was that?_""It is some one on our line. |
41185 | A Moorish costume would be a jolly good disguise one day, would n''t it? 41185 A man? |
41185 | A very intelligent and delightful woman, is n''t she? 41185 Ah?" |
41185 | And I suppose you intend to blackmail me-- eh? |
41185 | And if you married this girl, do you think you would be happy, Gordon? |
41185 | And it is distinctly understood that if gems be found and a company formed that I get one- eighth share? |
41185 | And now will it really work? |
41185 | And she has never mentioned me? |
41185 | And the future, dad? |
41185 | And the name in which the concession is to be granted? |
41185 | And then, dad? |
41185 | And then? |
41185 | And was there no other reason, Elma? |
41185 | And were you successful? |
41185 | And what is that, Mr Rutherford? |
41185 | And what''ave you been up to''ere-- eh? |
41185 | And what''s the latest about young Homfray? |
41185 | And when will monsieur and madame be back? |
41185 | And who''s going to be my executioner, pray? |
41185 | And who, pray, was this Mr Willard? |
41185 | And you know the identity of the person whom you allege killed your lover-- eh? |
41185 | And you really love me? |
41185 | And you will desert me for that slip of a girl-- eh, Gordon? |
41185 | And you will form a company in London to work the mines-- eh? |
41185 | And you''ll do it, wo n''t you? |
41185 | And you''re young to die like a rat in a hole? |
41185 | And-- well, now let me at once be frank with you, Roddy: have you ever in your life heard the name of Gordon Gray? |
41185 | Are they at Farncombe? |
41185 | Are you quite certain he will not come and see me? |
41185 | Are you quite certain of that? |
41185 | Are you quite sure it was my son? |
41185 | Are you quite sure? |
41185 | As long as his son lives, whether idiot or not, he''ll keep his mouth closed for his own sake, depend upon it? |
41185 | At Mr Sandys''? |
41185 | At the usual place at nine to- morrow night-- eh? |
41185 | Bertram Harrison? |
41185 | But I really ought not to do it? |
41185 | But at least you can tell me the dead girl''s name? |
41185 | But ca n''t it be managed without your marriage to Elma? |
41185 | But ca n''t we close the old man''s mouth and trust to luck with his son? 41185 But how did it get into the papers, sir?" |
41185 | But how have you been feeling to- day? 41185 But how, Freda?" |
41185 | But in this matter we are very serious-- both of us-- eh? |
41185 | But is it really right? |
41185 | But surely our present game is not one against war profits? |
41185 | But surely that is no evidence of what you allege? |
41185 | But surely they found the poor girl, father? |
41185 | But tell me, Mr Homfray, what was she like? 41185 But the girl, Elma Sandys? |
41185 | But what has your father to do with it? 41185 But why? |
41185 | But why? |
41185 | But would you really come back? |
41185 | But you did n''t do it-- eh? |
41185 | But, dad, what are we to do? 41185 But, my dear child, how can it be? |
41185 | But-- but,she added in a low voice,"you are going away to Morocco?" |
41185 | By jove, miss? |
41185 | By whom? 41185 Can she possibly be the girl whom I saw dead in Welling Wood?" |
41185 | Did what? |
41185 | Did you find any of your basement windows open when you got up this morning? |
41185 | Did you hear my mate shouting a moment ago, sir? |
41185 | Did you see Milly? |
41185 | Do me a favour, will you? 41185 Do you doubt this morning that I am in my sane senses? |
41185 | Do you know anything of Mr Harrison? |
41185 | Do you mean the Wad Sus mines? |
41185 | Do you really think she is? 41185 Do you think so? |
41185 | Do you want to see me, dad? |
41185 | Does she? |
41185 | Edna Manners? |
41185 | Elma is away, is n''t she? |
41185 | Elma will be here at ten, and we''ll go together-- alone-- you do n''t mind, father? |
41185 | Ever been there, Mr Sandys? |
41185 | Freda Crisp? 41185 Freda Crisp?" |
41185 | Freda is an awfully good friend of mine? |
41185 | Freda? 41185 From Gordon Gray--_you_?" |
41185 | Happy? 41185 Has he gone?" |
41185 | Has he really? |
41185 | Has she ever asked about this place-- about Little Farncombe-- or about myself? |
41185 | Has she ever been down here? |
41185 | Has the old man told him about us? |
41185 | Have you got the map? |
41185 | Have you seen this concession given to your friend, Mr Homfray? 41185 Have you?" |
41185 | He said he would be leaving Little Farncombe very soon, did he? |
41185 | Homfray, you are a fool? |
41185 | How can I ever forget? 41185 How could you be otherwise, after what has passed?" |
41185 | How dare you come here? |
41185 | How did you come by her photograph? |
41185 | How do I know? 41185 How do we know that? |
41185 | How? |
41185 | How? |
41185 | Hulloa, Miss Sandys? |
41185 | I beg pardon, madame,he said in good French,"but I believe you have a Mademoiselle Grayson living with you?" |
41185 | I do n''t like the look of things? |
41185 | I suppose Mr Sandys must be very rich? |
41185 | I suppose you are aware that old Sandys has a firm of inquiry agents out looking for her? |
41185 | I take it that you are deeply interested in the young lady who is missing? |
41185 | I think we can dismiss all these dramatic allegations made by poor mademoiselle-- can we not? 41185 I want to win the bet, and I''ll give you half?" |
41185 | I wonder how he came to be lying on the tow- path at the foot of Whitchurch Bridge? 41185 I wonder if Elma will believe me?" |
41185 | I wonder where Roddy can possibly be? |
41185 | If he knew the truth concerning that slip in my past what would he think of me? 41185 In any case, miss, I think I ought to telegraph to Guildford that a young man answering the description is here, do n''t you think so?" |
41185 | In what circumstances? |
41185 | In what direction? |
41185 | Is it not his place to be here after writing you that letter concerning the concession? 41185 Is it one that I may not know?" |
41185 | Is my surmise correct? |
41185 | Is your head better? |
41185 | It''s awfully early, I know, but between business men the hour, early or late, does n''t really count-- does it? 41185 It''s through?" |
41185 | Just repeat all you said, Roddy, will you? |
41185 | Last Wednesday you were not in London, were you? |
41185 | Let''s listen for a moment before we go-- eh? 41185 Listen, old thing?" |
41185 | Look here, is it to be war to the end between us? 41185 Looking? |
41185 | May I walk with you? |
41185 | My daughter? 41185 Never?" |
41185 | Not at hometo him? |
41185 | Not of the same mines-- ancient ones, from which one big dark- coloured emerald has quite recently been taken? 41185 Now what is your name, and how did you come here?" |
41185 | Now,went on the old man,"I will give you this map, Monsieur Barclay, but I will keep the emerald to repay myself for the expenses of my agent-- eh? |
41185 | Of what nature? |
41185 | Of what? |
41185 | Peril? 41185 Possibly you can induce Mr Sandys to finance the undertaking and float a company-- eh?" |
41185 | Really, dad, you do n''t seem to like her, eh? |
41185 | Really? |
41185 | Sank? 41185 So old Sandys is employing him?" |
41185 | So you''ve come to your senses again-- eh? 41185 So you''ve had luck-- eh?" |
41185 | Speak to him at once, dear? |
41185 | Tell me what has happened? |
41185 | The man Harrison? |
41185 | Then why do you not tell who she was? 41185 Then why have neither of you given information to the police?" |
41185 | Then you are not absolutely certain it was Roddy? |
41185 | Then you can see at last-- eh? |
41185 | Then you did have a curious adventure, eh? 41185 There was no reason why he should not return home, I suppose?" |
41185 | There''s nothing here, is there? |
41185 | These people want a lot of moss scraping off them, do n''t they-- eh? |
41185 | Things that you wish to forget-- eh, Mr Homfray? |
41185 | This Mr Homfray is your friend, I take it? |
41185 | To that young fellow Homfray, I believe? |
41185 | Watching us? 41185 Well, Jim?" |
41185 | Well, do n''t you know that there''s an apparatus invented by two clever Italians, Bellini and Tosi, which is called a direction- finder? |
41185 | Well, how did it work? |
41185 | Well, look here, Roddy, after leaving Miss Sandys, did you meet anyone else-- a man in the Guildford road? |
41185 | Well, she''s always most charming to me? |
41185 | Well, sir, have you anything particularly valuable on the premises here? 41185 Well, what''s the trouble now?" |
41185 | Well,he asked with dignity,"why are you here?" |
41185 | Well-- and what then? |
41185 | Well-- what you tell me, my boy, utterly staggers me? |
41185 | Well? |
41185 | What about Freda? |
41185 | What about the young pup? |
41185 | What are you saying? |
41185 | What can Elma think of my silence? 41185 What can I do? |
41185 | What can I do? |
41185 | What can he know about Hugh? |
41185 | What can it all mean? |
41185 | What connexion has that with the disappearance of the pretty Edna? |
41185 | What did she say? |
41185 | What do you mean? |
41185 | What if Roddy knew-- what if those fiends told him? 41185 What is the matter?" |
41185 | What kind of man? |
41185 | What luck, Dick? 41185 What makes him suspect it? |
41185 | What''s that? |
41185 | What''s that? |
41185 | What''s the fool''s name? |
41185 | What''s the news at Little Farncombe-- eh? 41185 What, am I still in peril?" |
41185 | What-- what do you mean? |
41185 | What? 41185 What? |
41185 | What? |
41185 | What? |
41185 | What? |
41185 | When does the old Moor leave? |
41185 | When shall you start putting up the wireless, Mr Homfray? |
41185 | When you came home, was the front- door locked? |
41185 | Where does she live? |
41185 | Where was she last seen? |
41185 | Where''s Jimmie? |
41185 | Who knows? |
41185 | Who''s Tubby? |
41185 | Whom do you call an assassin? |
41185 | Why are you so inquisitive about her? |
41185 | Why ca n''t we arrange matters? 41185 Why do you dare to come here? |
41185 | Why does Gray send you here? 41185 Why does he search when I know that she died in my arms?" |
41185 | Why not? 41185 Why should he send you to me?" |
41185 | Why should she be? 41185 Why, what''s the matter?" |
41185 | Why, where have you sprung from? 41185 Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Will Your Excellency allow me to present him? |
41185 | Will she believe that letter I wrote her regarding the Wad Sus concession? 41185 Wo n''t Gray come here himself and talk over the matter?" |
41185 | Would it be a very difficult affair to fit up a set here? |
41185 | Would the bishop have believed you? |
41185 | Yet, after all, ought I to do so? |
41185 | You are a great traveller, I believe-- are you not? 41185 You are quite certain that you did not stop and speak with any stranger in the Guildford road?" |
41185 | You came over by air, I suppose? |
41185 | You have no idea where she lives, I suppose? |
41185 | You heard nothing? |
41185 | You knew her personally? |
41185 | You refuse to satisfy my curiosity-- eh? |
41185 | You surely do n''t suspect that something tragic has happened to him-- for instance, that he has met with foul play? |
41185 | You will, I hope, help me-- eh? |
41185 | You would recognise the girl again, Roddy? |
41185 | You''re a very nice, delightful parson-- eh? 41185 You''re quite certain you took the right key?" |
41185 | _ But where is Edna_? 41185 3.A.X.? 41185 A deep harsh voice was heard-- a Voice from Nowhere-- which asked slowly and very distinctly:Who was that who is interested in 3.X.Q.? |
41185 | A fine moral leader you are, Norton?" |
41185 | A little brandy-- perhaps?" |
41185 | All right, I hope?" |
41185 | Am I so good- looking and such an Adonis-- eh?" |
41185 | And Freda? |
41185 | And did not Elma hold the photograph of the girl Edna, whom he had discovered in Welling Wood? |
41185 | And the Sandys are away in town, are n''t they?" |
41185 | And the man? |
41185 | And what would your dear son think of all your past adventures-- eh?" |
41185 | And why should I be attacked and drugged so that I nearly became insane? |
41185 | And why should I have been taken away unconscious and kept so for several days, and then conveyed to the river bank here at Whitchurch?" |
41185 | And yet why had he so suddenly gone to Farncombe for one night and then taken train to Guildford and disappeared? |
41185 | And you know to much of the affair as I do?" |
41185 | And you will afterwards lunch with me at Voisin''s-- eh?" |
41185 | And-- and what did she say about me?" |
41185 | Any news?" |
41185 | Anything else?" |
41185 | Are you Miss Elma Sandys?" |
41185 | Are you Mr Homfray?" |
41185 | Are you in London for long?" |
41185 | Are you positive that the woman is actually on friendly terms with Mr Sandys?" |
41185 | As the young man smoked, he reflected, until at last he suddenly said:"Have n''t you finished your work, father? |
41185 | Attend to this?" |
41185 | Believe me, Freda, it must?" |
41185 | Besides, I understood that Gordon Gray died in New York last year, and--""And you thought that by that fact you would escape your indebtedness-- eh?" |
41185 | Besides, had not Mr Sandys told him that it was most important to him that the young lady''s fate should be ascertained? |
41185 | But Freda''s a wonder, is n''t she?" |
41185 | But I recollect that house-- the man and the woman and-- and how she compelled me to do her bidding to--""To what?" |
41185 | But are you quite certain of this, Roddy? |
41185 | But by whom? |
41185 | But how came you to know about it?" |
41185 | But how could the detective have possibly known that?" |
41185 | But how did they come to Welling Wood at all?" |
41185 | But how is he obtaining the concession?" |
41185 | But let''s hope for the best-- eh, Freda?" |
41185 | But of what use was it? |
41185 | But what else?" |
41185 | But what hand could they have had in the death of an unknown girl in the woods at the rear of the Rectory? |
41185 | But where can he be?" |
41185 | But where did you see her to- night?" |
41185 | But where was Roddy Homfray? |
41185 | But where was he? |
41185 | But where? |
41185 | But who was she? |
41185 | But why did they make that secret attack upon you, if not in order to injure me?" |
41185 | But why should he come here, as though risen from the grave? |
41185 | But why,"asked the rector angrily,"why should these people trouble themselves over my private affairs? |
41185 | But why? |
41185 | But why? |
41185 | But why?" |
41185 | But would she ever receive that message tossed at haphazard from that barred high- up window-- tossed into the air or upon the water? |
41185 | C.Q.? |
41185 | Ca n''t I get you something? |
41185 | Can I relay any message, Freda?" |
41185 | Can you hear me, 3.X.Q.? |
41185 | Can you never love me?" |
41185 | Cheer up now, wo n''t you, dearest? |
41185 | Could Roddy have been speaking with Gordon Gray? |
41185 | Could he have lain there for some days in a state of semi- consciousness? |
41185 | Could it be Freda Crisp who had been indicated? |
41185 | Could it be possible that she was Elma''s enemy also? |
41185 | Could it be really true that his concession only existed in his own imagination? |
41185 | Could it have been to that house he had been taken? |
41185 | Could you ever trust him?" |
41185 | Could you manage to instal one for me, do you think?" |
41185 | Did she die?" |
41185 | Did you get that 3.B.L., Liverpool? |
41185 | Do n''t pose as a saint?" |
41185 | Do n''t you realise that not a word must ever leak out about young Willard? |
41185 | Do n''t you remember?" |
41185 | Do not believe him?" |
41185 | Do you doubt that which I have just said, Elma-- do you doubt that I love you?" |
41185 | Do you hear them-- three shorts and one long?" |
41185 | Do you hear? |
41185 | Do you intend that an-- an accident shall happen to him-- eh?" |
41185 | Do you know her? |
41185 | Do you know her?" |
41185 | Do you recognise it?" |
41185 | Do you recollect that night in Cannes two years ago? |
41185 | Do you understand that?" |
41185 | Do you want to be jugged? |
41185 | Each holiday brings us money-- one holiday more or one less-- what matters? |
41185 | Ever heard of it?" |
41185 | Fancy discovering emeralds?" |
41185 | Forget him? |
41185 | Freda Crisp would never have the_ entree_ there?" |
41185 | From what? |
41185 | From whom? |
41185 | Good- night?" |
41185 | Had he had faults in his past life, his son wondered? |
41185 | Had his captors condemned him to death by starvation? |
41185 | Had she left Bayeux of her own accord, or had she been enticed away? |
41185 | Had that sudden fit of jealousy been assumed on purpose to effect a breach? |
41185 | Had the girl Edna Manners been taken there also? |
41185 | Had the woman and her companion left? |
41185 | Had they done some of their devil''s work upon his beloved son? |
41185 | Had they taken fright and flown? |
41185 | Has it anything to do with that woman Freda Crisp you told me about? |
41185 | Have n''t I told you I walked straight home? |
41185 | Have they not been so for five years? |
41185 | Have you got it?" |
41185 | Have you got that, 3.A.X.? |
41185 | Have you heard from Arthur to- day?" |
41185 | Have you paid all the tradesmen''s books?" |
41185 | How am I to know? |
41185 | How could I possibly become that man''s wife?" |
41185 | How did you come to know her?" |
41185 | How do you know his Christian name? |
41185 | How do you know?" |
41185 | How many days have I been here, I wonder?" |
41185 | How shall I act?" |
41185 | How was she faring? |
41185 | How''s Paris looking?" |
41185 | Hughes, the grave- faced old butler, opened the door softly, and asked:"Shall you be wanting anything more to- night, sir?" |
41185 | Hulloa, Birmingham? |
41185 | Hulloa?" |
41185 | I expect he saw the red light, eh?" |
41185 | I hope you liked what I gave you for attacking me, young man?" |
41185 | I suppose he''s back by this time?" |
41185 | I suppose you meet with all sorts of adventures?" |
41185 | I wonder if this Harley Street chap has twigged our game, Jim?" |
41185 | I wonder if you would honour me with your presence? |
41185 | I wonder what they gave him? |
41185 | I wonder who he can be? |
41185 | I''ll look in and see you to- morrow morning-- about this time-- eh?" |
41185 | I''m in a pretty pickle-- as you see-- eh? |
41185 | If so, what could have prevented the assassin and his friends-- for there must have been more than one person-- removing the evidence of their crime?" |
41185 | If so, will you look in and see me about noon in Lombard Street?" |
41185 | Is Freda coming? |
41185 | Is it just to the public that a man such as yourself should dare to wear a surplice and have the audacity to preach sermons?" |
41185 | Is n''t she awfully jolly?" |
41185 | Is she-- dead?" |
41185 | Is that so?" |
41185 | Is there no stamp, with date?" |
41185 | It would n''t do, Gordon, would it? |
41185 | It''s all surmise-- and what does that matter? |
41185 | Listen, you madwoman?" |
41185 | Lovely, is n''t she?" |
41185 | Luck-- eh?" |
41185 | May I call you by your Christian name?" |
41185 | May I come in?" |
41185 | Mr Gray wants to know whether you intend paying?" |
41185 | Of what?" |
41185 | On that night you walked home with Miss Sandys-- eh? |
41185 | Or will you consider a little proposition I have in mind? |
41185 | Perhaps you will like a copy? |
41185 | Peril? |
41185 | Presently she excused herself from her two friends, saying:"You''ll forgive me if I have just this one dance with Mr Gray-- won''t you?" |
41185 | See?" |
41185 | Shall you be in London to- morrow? |
41185 | She told me she was very interested in it, and possibly she has heard that I''m an experimenter-- eh?" |
41185 | Should he watch for the departure of the woman? |
41185 | So trust me?" |
41185 | Surely Sir Charles has n''t actually ruined you?" |
41185 | Surely such a man is not suited to you as a husband, Miss Elma? |
41185 | Surely you can trust me in this-- eh? |
41185 | Surely you can trust me?" |
41185 | Tell me, what do you know?" |
41185 | That ca n''t be?" |
41185 | That little bit of gun- running helping the Moors against the Spanish was exciting enough-- was n''t it?" |
41185 | That looks as though the drug has been spotted-- eh?" |
41185 | That man here again?" |
41185 | That relieves us of a great deal of worry, does n''t it?" |
41185 | That wireless is going to be a big use to us in the near future, eh?" |
41185 | That''s a little awkward, is n''t it?" |
41185 | The daughter of Mr Purcell Sandys who has just bought Farncombe Towers?" |
41185 | The whole affair was unusual, was n''t it? |
41185 | Then I will come here to- morrow-- shall we say at eleven? |
41185 | Then he asked:"What is this strange story?" |
41185 | Then he''s already recognised you-- eh?" |
41185 | Then she called across to him:"I say, dad, what do you know about Bertram Harrison-- Freda Crisp''s friend?" |
41185 | Then she imagines me to be somebody named Porter-- eh?" |
41185 | Then suddenly she added:"But why should I tell you this when you yourself are a friend of the woman Crisp, and of Gordon Gray?" |
41185 | Then we could listen to the wireless concerts, the broadcasting of news, and all that goes on in the ether-- eh?" |
41185 | Then when his visitor was in the room, he turned to him and said:"So you have carried out your threat, Gray, and sold my houses in Totnes-- eh? |
41185 | Then you think that the concession for the emerald prospecting may be worth money?" |
41185 | Then, turning to the woman, he remarked:"This is Miss Grayson, I suppose?" |
41185 | Therefore why is he not here?" |
41185 | To where? |
41185 | Was he speaking to the dead? |
41185 | Was he, after all, growing tired of her? |
41185 | Was his mind wandering, or was there some grain of truth in those misty, horrifying recollections? |
41185 | Was it possible that Gray had told Roddy the truth, and the latter had gone off with his father''s enemy? |
41185 | Was it really possible, as Rutherford had suggested, that he was in hiding, not daring to come forward now that his lie was proved? |
41185 | Was it yet another failure? |
41185 | We both of us know Morocco-- eh, Jimmie? |
41185 | We sincerely hope not, eh? |
41185 | We''ve departed upon lots of holidays-- haven''t we, Dick? |
41185 | Well, what do you intend to do?" |
41185 | Were those circumstances his meeting with Gordon Gray for the first time that night? |
41185 | What are you thinking of, Jimmie?" |
41185 | What are you trying to make out?" |
41185 | What can be her game? |
41185 | What can he know?" |
41185 | What can it mean?" |
41185 | What can the old clergyman know? |
41185 | What connexion could there be with the City magnate and the girl whom he had believed was dead, but who was certainly still alive? |
41185 | What could be the reason of such an attitude? |
41185 | What could have happened that he had not returned as usual to supper after church? |
41185 | What could possibly have occurred to prevent him from carrying out his intention?" |
41185 | What day is it to- day?" |
41185 | What devil''s work was there in progress that night, father?" |
41185 | What did I tell you? |
41185 | What did it all mean? |
41185 | What did you say?" |
41185 | What do you know of her? |
41185 | What do you mean?" |
41185 | What do you think?" |
41185 | What do you want?" |
41185 | What does he intend to do?" |
41185 | What fresh mystery is there here? |
41185 | What had been her fate? |
41185 | What has become of her?" |
41185 | What has she to do with our propositions?" |
41185 | What have I done?" |
41185 | What hitch could have occurred? |
41185 | What indeed, reflected the old man, except perhaps that he met Gordon Gray and perhaps left for London with him? |
41185 | What man has not? |
41185 | What more do you want?" |
41185 | What the deuce are you doing?" |
41185 | What the devil do you mean?" |
41185 | What then?" |
41185 | What then?" |
41185 | What was happening to the girl he loved so dearly? |
41185 | What was she doing in Welling Wood, just off the beaten path, at that hour? |
41185 | What would his son Roddy think if he learnt the truth concerning that closed chapter of his father''s past? |
41185 | What would she think? |
41185 | What would the parish of Little Farncombe say if they knew that their respected rector had fallen among thieves? |
41185 | What''s happened?" |
41185 | What, he wondered, had happened? |
41185 | What?" |
41185 | What?" |
41185 | When he slept, exhausted, his food was renewed-- by whose hands? |
41185 | When is Mr Ford returning to France?" |
41185 | When shall I see Barclay?" |
41185 | When?" |
41185 | Where are the traces?" |
41185 | Where can my boy be?" |
41185 | Where do I come in?" |
41185 | Where does this man Barclay live?" |
41185 | Where is she? |
41185 | Where was Roddy? |
41185 | Where was Roddy? |
41185 | Where?" |
41185 | Who are you, Freda? |
41185 | Who could contest your right to the concession? |
41185 | Who could she be to be in Welling Wood at that hour?" |
41185 | Who could?" |
41185 | Who died?" |
41185 | Who has he called in?" |
41185 | Who is he?" |
41185 | Who is it who feeds me when I am unconscious? |
41185 | Who knows? |
41185 | Who knows? |
41185 | Who was she? |
41185 | Who?" |
41185 | Why did Barclay wish to see him so urgently? |
41185 | Why did my own father warn me of the pair? |
41185 | Why did she come? |
41185 | Why do you ask?" |
41185 | Why had he not produced the concession he alleged he had? |
41185 | Why is he here in Little Farncombe, I wonder?" |
41185 | Why should Mr Sandys demand from him the secret of his discovery of the girl in Welling Wood? |
41185 | Why should his father have warned him against her? |
41185 | Why should his own father have held back from him the truth? |
41185 | Why should the Press obtrude upon his anxiety? |
41185 | Why the devil do n''t you keep a better fire than this?" |
41185 | Why was I not here to assist him, instead of playing bridge? |
41185 | Why was he there in Bayeux? |
41185 | Why was she going south also-- but not by the same train? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why? |
41185 | Why?" |
41185 | Why?" |
41185 | Why?" |
41185 | Will you go to Marseilles? |
41185 | Would Elma receive his message and come to his rescue? |
41185 | Would Monsieur and Madame Nicole do so? |
41185 | Would she be able to get the transmission set to work? |
41185 | Would she ever get his message of distress? |
41185 | Would she remember the exact instructions he had given her? |
41185 | You could pose as an Algerian fruit merchant, or something of the sort, while they''d be looking for the Englishman, Dick Allen?" |
41185 | You see, it is still rough and uncut, yet is it not magnificent in size?" |
41185 | You told me once that she dances well, did n''t you? |
41185 | You''ve been there several days; what have you discovered?" |
41185 | Your father was a rather secretive man, I believe, was n''t he, Roddy?" |
41185 | cried Elma breathlessly,"are you there?" |
41185 | my dear Roddy?" |
41185 | the-- the brutes-- they forced me to-- to do something-- to--""To do what?" |
41185 | those German chemists are devilish clever-- aren''t they? |
41185 | well, I thought she might be a little inquisitive-- that''s all?" |
41185 | what would he think of the other side of his father''s life? |
41185 | when shall I learn the truth of all this-- when shall I be able to explain it all to Elma? |
41185 | you know Freda, do you?" |
41185 | you know something-- something very private, eh?" |
