17572 | How''s yourself?" |
17572 | If any harm comes to that young Cree you go to your little hammock in the hemlocks-- you understand?" |
17572 | Is that all you have to say?" |
17572 | Looking him in the eye, the President asked in a stage whisper:"Have you-- seen-- Jones?" |
17572 | Me?" |
17572 | Presently the General Manager came in, and when he was leaving the room he turned and asked,"Have you seen Jones?" |
17572 | Sabe? |

37038 | ''Any patent on the name?'' 37038 ''Ca n''t I do anything for you, Mr. Rokesby-- for Rachel''s sake?'' |
37038 | ''Captain,''said Eli Jeffries, the second mate,''do you know what I''ve been thinkin''? 37038 ''Did he have on a false moustache, and a good deal of money and securities in a satchel, and everybody think at first he was a burglar?'' |
37038 | ''Did he stand on one track, to get out of the way of another train, and get struck?'' 37038 ''Did n''t take notice that the face of your"passage"was granite or quartz rocks, hey? |
37038 | ''Do you think we could get down the other side?'' 37038 ''Father Burrows,''said I,''what do you think that is back there?'' |
37038 | ''I would n''t like anything better; will you take me?'' 37038 ''If I can; what is it that you want me to do, madam?'' |
37038 | ''Is she married?'' 37038 ''It would n''t be of much use to get an experienced man, would it-- the engine will burn a new fuel in a new way?'' |
37038 | ''Jim,''said he, with tears in his eyes,''are you satisfied with me on the 12?'' 37038 ''Kind o''sudden, hey, Kid?'' |
37038 | ''No_ ifs_ about it; will you go?'' 37038 ''Nor anyone else?'' |
37038 | ''Send word to her that I am going away and want to see her, will you, Kid?'' 37038 ''She has refused him then?'' |
37038 | ''Suppose I help the child, and you do n''t tell me the secret?'' 37038 ''That baby- faced boy says he wo n''t fire for anybody but you; what have you been putting into his head?'' |
37038 | ''Was he a sailor?'' 37038 ''Was he laid up long? |
37038 | ''Was n''t he killed at the attack on Vicksburg?'' 37038 ''Well, I could fire for you, could n''t I?'' |
37038 | ''Well, it''s time they was doing something; did he say when it was?'' 37038 ''What did you call me for? |

37038 | ''What''s wrong here?'' 37038 ''What? |
37038 | ''Where''s the gold?'' 37038 ''Who''s this boat named after?'' |
37038 | ''Why? 37038 ''Wo n''t you wait until Monday? |
37038 | ''Yes, indeed; then you are Sanson?'' 37038 ''Yes, yes; you knowed him did n''t you? |
37038 | ''Yes; but how did you know that?'' 37038 ''You do n''t think there is land over there somewhere?'' |
37038 | ''You would judge her alone, forgetting her mother?'' 37038 ''You?'' |
37038 | A kindly- faced old lady looked at me over her spectacles, and I asked:''Does Mrs. Julia Bradshaw live here?'' |
37038 | And the other favor, Billy? |
37038 | And your father and mother, what of them, my friend? |
37038 | Anything queer about''em? |
37038 | Around the Horn, then? |
37038 | At last I mustered up courage and asked:''How is Tamplin?'' 37038 But you will land me in''Frisco, wo n''t you? |
37038 | D''ye know if you go in ye got to stay for the next two weeks? |
37038 | Did you take care of my pack? |
37038 | Do you know that dirty old pack contains more treasures than the mines of Africa? |
37038 | Er-- what became of the young man that they-- er-- adopted? |
37038 | Ever seen her? |
37038 | God bless your dear eyes,said I,"where would we have all been now but for you?" |
37038 | Good gracious,said I,"whatever brought you away out here, and had n''t you just as lief shoot a man as scare him to death?" |
37038 | Gunderson, old man, how are you? |
37038 | Have you ever made any inquiries about the mother, Gun? |
37038 | He is in no great danger? |
37038 | How did you know it was my wife anyway? |
37038 | How old is she? |
37038 | I thought you had got over that a long time ago? |
37038 | I turned and bolted toward a door, when Gardiner yelled:''Where are you going?'' |
37038 | Inspection- car,said I;"how did you get here?" |
37038 | It was getting dusk and we were out of sight, so I sat down the pail and asked:''Do I get a kiss, this evening?'' |
37038 | Let me see, what is your name? |
37038 | Let''s see, where shall I begin? |
37038 | M----? 37038 Mother, how can you forgive me?" |
37038 | Of course--"Sure she spoke? |
37038 | Oh, I see; married again? |
37038 | Oh, what story? 37038 She got up; came to our table and laid a card by my plate, and said,''I beg your pardon; but wo n''t you call on me? |
37038 | Story- teller,said I;"what story?" |
37038 | Sunk? |
37038 | Suppose, Gun, that she showed up now; loved you more than ever for what you have done, and renewed her old proposal? 37038 Tell me about her?" |
37038 | Thanks, captain, I know I must look all of that; but, let me see, forty- five, fifty- five, sixty- five, seventy-- seventy-- what year is this? |
37038 | There was a tremor in the Kid''s voice as he took my hand and said,''We are friends, Jim; ai n''t we?'' 37038 Wa''n''t it below the knee?" |
37038 | Was the amputation above or below the knee? |
37038 | Washout? |
37038 | Well, John Alexander, how in the name of thunder did you get away out here on the main stem, without orders? |
37038 | Well,continued the stranger,"he let me look for a minute or two, and then said:''Was it anything particular?'' |
37038 | Went up special to a weddin'', do n''t you see? 37038 What did she say?" |
37038 | What did you tell her, Gun? |
37038 | What does he want, Jack? |
37038 | What for? |
37038 | What leg story? |
37038 | What now, Billy? |
37038 | What ship? |
37038 | What would you do, if she was to turn up? |
37038 | When can I get to Boston? |
37038 | When we were out of earshot, she asked without looking up:''Well, old coolness, are you all right?'' |
37038 | Where did you get her? |
37038 | Where does Dillon''s folks live now? |
37038 | Where''s John? |
37038 | Where? |
37038 | Which foot? |
37038 | Who is she, did you say? |
37038 | Who''s been double- heading, Gun? |
37038 | Why, how''s that? |
37038 | Why,I asked,"are you so short- handed that you are doubling and trebling?" |
37038 | Why,''Lige, do n''t you know who the woman was that gave you brandy, held your head, and used her skirts for bandages when you were hurt? |
37038 | You did? |
37038 | Yours, Gun? |
37038 | ''Rope?'' |
37038 | ''What are you doing freezing here when we can both be comfortable and warm in the house? |
37038 | A young woman came in, looked at me hard for a moment, laid a package on my desk and asked,"Is this the Mr. Alexander who used to be an engineer?" |
37038 | And who the hell says they ai n''t?'' |
37038 | Are you ashamed or afraid to sleep with me? |
37038 | As I went toward the engine, I met the watchman:"''Phy do n''t that fireman o''yourn sleep in the house or on the caboose floor such a night as this? |
37038 | As we cleaned our feet at the door, I said:"Let me see, I did not hear your name?" |
37038 | But where will you put it?'' |
37038 | By the bald- headed Abraham, who says Chuck Burrows ai n''t got no kin? |
37038 | Could she make them see her? |
37038 | Did n''t she kill Jim O''Neil with the reverse lever? |
37038 | Do you know?" |
37038 | Had n''t she been burned the first trip? |
37038 | Had n''t she lain down on the bed of the Arkansas river and wallowed on"Scar Face"Hopkins, and he not up yet? |
37038 | Had n''t she run away time and again without cause or provocation? |
37038 | He lit his pipe and asked:"Been whaling, or hunting the North Pole?" |
37038 | He looked away from me, reached over and started the pump, and said:"Do n''t you know?" |
37038 | Hogg, do n''t you know me?'' |
37038 | How is it for a ride?" |
37038 | How old would you take me to be?" |
37038 | How''s my friend, Sanson?'' |
37038 | I came on board out of curiosity to----''"''Reporter, hey?'' |
37038 | I exclaimed;"why, how was that?" |
37038 | I met Jack and a policeman, on my next trip, and he exclaimed:"''Why, ai n''t you gone out yet?'' |
37038 | I was afraid you would not let me stay with you, if you knew--''"''Why, you ai n''t killed any one, Kid?'' |
37038 | Is he as badly disfigured as I am?'' |
37038 | Jim Wainright put his hand up to his eyes for a minute, and his voice was a little husky as he said:"No, John, the Kid went away--""Went away?" |
37038 | Jim put his finger on it, and then turning me around towards him, he said:"How came you by that?" |
37038 | John, did you ever notice that you could_ feel_ the presence of some people; you knew they were near you without seeing them? |
37038 | Just as soon as all is safe, you shall hear from me; ca n''t you trust me, Joe?'' |
37038 | Long I look into their peaceful depths thinking of their story, and ask,"Dear Eyes, is it well with thee?" |
37038 | My God, man, where''s Rachel?'' |
37038 | No one but mothers have a right to expect to go to a heaven, and the only question that''ll be asked is,''Have you been a mother?'' |
37038 | Now, ca n''t you help me to fool that old villain of a Sanson, and put papa''s half of the money in a safe place?'' |
37038 | Now, will you go on the 17_ as ordered_?'' |
37038 | Old Chuck Burrows was a particular friend of mine-- where is he?" |
37038 | Running, I suppose?" |
37038 | Say, captain, how long will it take to get there, and how long before you start?" |
37038 | See that low place where we went up? |
37038 | See this peak? |
37038 | The eyes do not change as once they did, or has age dimmed my sight and imagination? |
37038 | The next trip I had to buy some underclothes: would"mother"tell me how to pick out pure wool? |
37038 | The other day, my office boy brought me a card that read,"Mrs. Henry Adams, Washington, D. C.""Is she a book agent?" |
37038 | Then Hopkins brought in his little three- year- old daughter, who immediately climbed on my knee, captured my watch, and asked:"What oo name?" |
37038 | There was a tear in his eye, as he turned to go away, so I stepped up to him and asked:"Any new wives wanted down your way, Elder?" |
37038 | They do n''t come right down and say,"Something''s the matter with me; what would you do for it?" |
37038 | Wainright, who is going to fire the Experiment?'' |
37038 | Was I running the"III"or was"Her Eyes?" |
37038 | What are you a- doin''? |
37038 | What better was I than this woman? |
37038 | What de ye say? |
37038 | What kind o''looking chap is he?" |
37038 | What was it? |
37038 | What would you do if I should die?'' |
37038 | What''s become of him? |
37038 | What''s his name?" |
37038 | When did you come out here? |
37038 | Where be you goin'', anyway?'' |
37038 | Where was it? |
37038 | Who is she? |
37038 | Who says I''m not?'' |
37038 | Why ca n''t you use some judgment in your runnin''? |
37038 | Why did he go? |
37038 | Will you do it?'' |
37038 | Wo n''t you help me?" |
37038 | Wo n''t you take him? |
37038 | Would he take$ 2,100 out of Jim''s money, unbeknown to Jim, and pay the balance of the price of the farm over what"mother"had? |
37038 | Would they stop for her? |
37038 | Would you mind sending down for it?" |
37038 | You remember the Black Prince robbery?'' |
37038 | Your father?'' |
37038 | do you know I was wishin''and waitin''for you? |
37038 | inquired a Yankee sailor, sticking his nose and a clay pipe overboard;''might you be wantin''to come aboard?'' |
37038 | that kid?'' |
37038 | why, man, fighting was meat and drink to him----''"''Was he a whaler?'' |
22497 | About half an hour, but----"Was any one with you during that half hour? |
22497 | And thee says he is young? |
22497 | And thee''ll speak gently with him? |
22497 | And who are you? 22497 And you recognized him then?" |
22497 | Are there any more like you? |
22497 | Are you sure of it? |
22497 | Are you willing to swear to the same thing now? |
22497 | But is n''t it middling dangerous to run so fast? |
22497 | But what is the matter, Rodman? 22497 But why did n''t he refuse to allow it to move?" |
22497 | Can any of these men identify this alleged locomotive thief? |
22497 | Did n''t you tell me you were willing to take oath that the lad whom you caused to be arrested and the horse- thief were one and the same person? |
22497 | Did you suspect Rod, I mean this brakeman, of being the train robber? |
22497 | Do n''t you feel any anxiety concerning it? 22497 Do n''t you think we ought to break in the door with an axe and make a rush for him?" |
22497 | Do n''t you, Smiler, old dog? |
22497 | Do you also know him? |
22497 | Do you consider him a person whose word is to be trusted? |
22497 | Do you happen to know a young man from there named Rodman Blake? |
22497 | Do you know him too? |
22497 | Do you know,he said,"that we have just covered a mile in forty- two seconds, and that we are travelling at the rate of eighty- five miles an hour?" |
22497 | Do you mean that I lie? |
22497 | Do you mean to say that you think I stole those diamonds? |
22497 | Does thee think he has had any breakfast? |
22497 | Evidently not,interrupted Mr. Hill dryly;"You are the young man recommended to me by President Vanderveer, I believe?" |
22497 | Had they anything to do with his leaving Euston, and seeking employment on this road? |
22497 | Have we any orders to do so? |
22497 | How is this, sir? |
22497 | How long was the bag in your possession? |
22497 | How would you like to fire for me in his place? |
22497 | I suppose you want me to arrest that fireman too? |
22497 | I wonder if they got anything before he caught them? |
22497 | I wonder which of you I am to believe, or if either is telling me the truth? |
22497 | Is he the train robber? |
22497 | Is it certain that he did all these things, Robert? |
22497 | Is n''t it, Al? |
22497 | Is that the height of your ambition? |
22497 | Is thee willing I should take it to him? |
22497 | It looks as though you and I were pretty solid on this road, does n''t it, Rod? |
22497 | Look here, young fellow,said the leader, harshly,"why will you persist in such nonsense? |
22497 | Looks like a brakeman, does n''t he? |
22497 | May I inquire,asked Conductor Tobin, seating himself on a locker close to where Rod still sat on the floor,"May I inquire who you are? |
22497 | Meaning me? |
22497 | No? |
22497 | Now, what were you trying to tell me about men dying in the road? |
22497 | Only what? |
22497 | Or''Runaway Blake''? |
22497 | Railroad Blake? |
22497 | Smiler? 22497 So I see,"said Conductor Tobin,"and you look very comfortable; but how does he like it?" |
22497 | So you''ve come here looking for work, have you? 22497 That''s just it, and I do n''t think it''s very surprising that I failed to win the race with a wheel in that condition, do you?" |
22497 | Then why did you telegraph that you had the train robber in custody, and bring us here to identify him? |
22497 | Then you do n''t think Rodman has any chance of winning? |
22497 | Then you do n''t think he is the person who took the horse from you? |
22497 | Then you would n''t mind having him on your train, while Joe is laid by? |
22497 | This is an outrage, and----"Is this the fellow, Al? |
22497 | Tobin? 22497 Upon what charge?" |
22497 | Well, sir,began the Major,"what have you to say for yourself? |
22497 | What are they? |
22497 | What are you doing out here, sir? 22497 What are you laughing at?" |
22497 | What diamonds? |
22497 | What did he do with it? |
22497 | What do you mean? |
22497 | What else did he do? |
22497 | What else? 22497 What makes you think this is not it?" |
22497 | What would I do if I were blind? |
22497 | What''s the matter here? |
22497 | When will he be back? |
22497 | When you caught who? |
22497 | Where is he now? |
22497 | Where''s my wheel? |
22497 | Who was he? 22497 Why could n''t I do it?" |
22497 | Why should we ever trouble ourselves, Robert, about those who are strangers, or sick, or in prison? 22497 Will what, and wo n''t what?" |
22497 | You are from Euston, I believe? |
22497 | You have opened it before this, of course? |
22497 | You would, would you? |
22497 | And how came thee here in this terrible place?" |
22497 | Anything the matter with your wheel?" |
22497 | Appleby?" |
22497 | Are you its conductor?" |
22497 | Are you willing to tell me what you know about this business of robbing our freight trains? |
22497 | As he handed it back, he said,"So Brown thinks Appleby did it himself?" |
22497 | As the latter finished, the young captain sprang to his feet, exclaiming:"Snyder Appleby, how dare you bring such an accusation against me? |
22497 | At the same moment he of the smoked glasses was saying to himself:"So that is what happened while I lay there like a log by the roadside, is it? |
22497 | B.?" |
22497 | But what are you doing to him?" |
22497 | But what does it all mean? |
22497 | Could it be that he had heard aright? |
22497 | Could this be the very train robber of whom he was in pursuit? |
22497 | Did he leave it alone and unguarded?" |
22497 | Did n''t you know that he was private secretary to our superintendent?" |
22497 | Did people always travel in such overwhelming numbers, that it seemed as though the whole world were on the move, or was this some special occasion? |
22497 | Did they believe Rodman Blake guilty of the act charged against him or did they not? |
22497 | Did you find out who he was?" |
22497 | Do n''t you hear the engine coming back? |
22497 | Do n''t you know me? |
22497 | Do n''t you remember me?" |
22497 | Do n''t you? |
22497 | Every one therefore looked up in surprise when he entered it and demanded, in a tone of authority,"What''s the trouble here?" |
22497 | Had they seen anything of him? |
22497 | Have you had enough of railroading?" |
22497 | He only answered,"Do you? |
22497 | How came you here? |
22497 | How could he have reached Millbank? |
22497 | How is it, Blake? |
22497 | How on earth did it get there?" |
22497 | I hope this change strikes you as being one for the better also?" |
22497 | I wonder if Snyder could have put that emery into the oil- cup himself? |
22497 | I''d like to know what you know about railroad business, anyhow? |
22497 | Incredible as it seemed, this must be the very man, and now what was to be done? |
22497 | Is n''t that so?" |
22497 | Is n''t there some way of making him slow down?" |
22497 | Is there any doubt but what he also found it in the home to which he had gone so peacefully, and with so happy a smile lighting his face? |
22497 | It is to be the hardest one of all, is n''t it?" |
22497 | Nor will thee relock the door that I left open?" |
22497 | Now what had he to show for it? |
22497 | Now, however, you will go home with us and have a full explanation with him, will you not?" |
22497 | On the whole gentleman, I do n''t think I''d better arrest him, do you?" |
22497 | Or do you prefer to stick to your lying story and go to prison for it?" |
22497 | Regarding him keenly, the superintendent said:"So you want to be paid for being honest, do you? |
22497 | See?" |
22497 | Should he continue to be the slave of pride, and submit to its dictates? |
22497 | The number of the locomotive that drew it then? |
22497 | Then he explained how, and under what circumstances he had met Rod, and ending by asking,"What sort of a railroad man do you think he would make?" |
22497 | Then turning to Rodman he asked,"What have you to say for yourself?" |
22497 | Then, as though he were propounding a conundrum, he asked:"Do you know the difference between a railroad man and a chap who wants to be one?" |
22497 | Tobin?" |
22497 | WHERE ARE THE DIAMONDS? |
22497 | Was I not right then, in saying that this poor fellow had left you a reward for your bravery that you will value so long as you live?" |
22497 | Was ever a fellow placed in a more perplexing situation? |
22497 | Was he a railroad man?" |
22497 | Was her bit of blue ribbon to be borne triumphantly to the front? |
22497 | Was her champion to win after all? |
22497 | Was it ahead of him or behind? |
22497 | Was it possible that he was thus unceremoniously thrown out of work to make a place for his former brakeman? |
22497 | Was n''t it all right when you started?" |
22497 | What a wild- goose chase I have come on anyway, and what should I do if I overtook the robber? |
22497 | What are you doing here?" |
22497 | What could Mr. Hill mean? |
22497 | What could have become of them? |
22497 | What tortures might he not suffer in this moving prison? |
22497 | What was the number of the train with which it came in? |
22497 | What would become of him? |
22497 | What would n''t he give for a cup at that moment? |
22497 | What''s the matter with it? |
22497 | Where could they all be going to, or coming from? |
22497 | Where have I ever seen thee before?" |
22497 | Where have you been, and where are you bound? |
22497 | Where, then, was his leather satchel? |
22497 | Which way should he go? |
22497 | Why have you stopped us, and what is the meaning of this disguise?" |
22497 | Why not make use of this animal if he could catch it? |
22497 | Why should I not be a railroad man as well as another? |
22497 | Why, Smiler, old dog, how did you come here in this fix? |
22497 | Would it not be absolutely wrong to refuse it under the circumstances? |
22497 | Would n''t you, papa?" |
22497 | You remember me, do n''t you, young man?" |
22497 | You''ll wish me good luck, wo n''t you?" |
22497 | [ Illustration: THE SHERIFF HANDS ROD THE LEATHER BAG.--(_Page 201._)]"Has the bag been out of your possession since the arrest of this-- person?" |
22497 | and how do you explain this disgraceful affair?" |
22497 | and how you got here? |
22497 | and what do you mean by bringing that dog in here?" |
22497 | and what''s came of the fellow we left sleeping here a few minutes ago? |
22497 | and what''s happened to Smiler? |
22497 | and what''s the meaning of all this business, anyway?" |
22497 | and where you came from? |
22497 | commanded the superintendent sharply, and then to Rod he said:"How can you prove your statements?" |
22497 | cried the first of the new- comers,"what''s up? |
22497 | did n''t I tell yer Honor he''d maybe lie on me?" |
22497 | exclaimed one;"what''s in this oil cup? |
22497 | exclaimed the sheriff;"you have n''t left his cell- door unlocked, mother, after the strict charges I gave you concerning that very thing?" |
22497 | he asked, meaning,"Are you on railroad business?" |
22497 | or should he boldly throw off its yoke and declare himself free and independent? |
22497 | what are you about?" |
33947 | Any trouble to climb it? |
33947 | Are n''t you going to change engines and crews at Arickaree? |
33947 | Are you right back there, Pat? |
33947 | But do you know enough to keep your head on your shoulders and your train on your orders? |
33947 | But what does S. stand for? |
33947 | Can they ever get over Beverly with fifty, Neighbor? |
33947 | Can you handle a passenger- train? |
33947 | Can you handle it? |
33947 | Can you make it by eleven o''clock? |
33947 | Can you pull ahead any? |
33947 | Checks are running light, too, now-- eh, Dad? |
33947 | Claims he is; his name is McNeal--"McNeal? |
33947 | Dark- complexioned fellow? |
33947 | Did anybody who ever knew Siclone forget him? |
33947 | Did he say what I would be doing while this was going on? |
33947 | Did you get a nap? |
33947 | Did you hear about the boy''s getting pounded last night-- Georgie McNeal? 33947 Do you remember Siclone, Reed?" |
33947 | Eh, Dad? |
33947 | Fired? |
33947 | Full of water, I suppose? |
33947 | Got a girl back in Pennsylvania? |
33947 | Got any tobacco? |
33947 | Has n''t the man trouble enough without tackling your chiccory? |
33947 | How does she run, Foley? |
33947 | How is she steaming, Bartholomew? |
33947 | How long have you been in the train service? |
33947 | How many air cars has he got? |
33947 | How old is that boy? |
33947 | How so? |
33947 | How would you like to go pilot to- morrow for McCurdy? 33947 How?" |
33947 | Is he off the Reading? |
33947 | Is n''t that a crossing cut ahead? |
33947 | Is that any reason for calling a thousand men out on this end? |
33947 | Is that where you leave your wealth, Georgie? |
33947 | Is the boy holding out? |
33947 | Is your name Fitzpatrick? |
33947 | Look here, partner,exclaimed Cameron, laying a heavy hand on Foley''s shoulder;"you do n''t want to take this train out, do you? |
33947 | Make what? |
33947 | Mate,he stammered,"you''ve been through a strike yourself-- you know what it means, do n''t you? |
33947 | Maybe you did n''t know my word was out? |
33947 | Maybe, son,growled Hamilton;"and break my back doing it?" |
33947 | McWilliams? 33947 Me? |
33947 | Me? 33947 Me?" |
33947 | Me? |
33947 | Mean? 33947 Mean?" |
33947 | Mean? |
33947 | Not Georgie McNeal? |
33947 | Now what does a man with McWilliams''s money want to travel special in an old photograph- gallery like that for? |
33947 | On a threshing- machine? |
33947 | Remember him? |
33947 | Sal- soda, is n''t it, Dad? |
33947 | Scaylor? |
33947 | She''s full of soda, is n''t she, father? |
33947 | Son,he gasped to the astonished boy,"do n''t you know me?" |
33947 | Stands for Cyclone, I reckon; do n''t it? |
33947 | Still you took her? |
33947 | Stranger,said he, gently,"could you oblige me with a chew of tobacco?" |
33947 | Struck? 33947 The 168 will suit me, Neighbor; any old tub-- eh, Foley?" |
33947 | There they come-- there''s the runaway train-- do you hear it? 33947 They told us to deliver the goods, did n''t they?" |
33947 | Was any one of those cowards that jumped on me in the dark looking for work on this engine? |
33947 | Well, Peaters,asked Ferguson, of the second man, coolly,"do you want to stay?" |
33947 | Well, what is it? |
33947 | Well, what''s his name? |
33947 | Well, why should n''t they? 33947 What actual grievance have the boys?" |
33947 | What are you doing switching coal here on the main line? |
33947 | What are you going to do? |
33947 | What can you do? |
33947 | What did he ever do to you and your mother? |
33947 | What did you say your name was? |
33947 | What do I say? |
33947 | What do you know about running an engine? |
33947 | What do you make of him, Reed? |
33947 | What do you make of him? |
33947 | What do you mean, you red- headed lubber? |
33947 | What do you mean? 33947 What do you mean?" |
33947 | What do you think of the track, Foley? |
33947 | What do you want? |
33947 | What do you want? |
33947 | What does it mean? 33947 What have you done?" |
33947 | What is it, Barney? 33947 What is it?" |
33947 | What shall I say? |
33947 | What the deuce have you bit into? |
33947 | What''s his first name, Dad, and where does he live? |
33947 | What''s his name? |
33947 | What''s that coming in from the junction, Bailey? |
33947 | What''s that? |
33947 | What''s that? |
33947 | What''s the matter with the dispatcher? 33947 What''s the matter?" |
33947 | What''s the matter? |
33947 | What''s the reason Hamilton and McNeal ca n''t hit it off, Foley? |
33947 | What''s the row-- what''s all this screeching about, conductor? |
33947 | What''s your full name? |
33947 | What''s your mother''s name, son? 33947 What''s your name?" |
33947 | When did you quit the Philadelphia and Reading? |
33947 | When must it be in Denver? |
33947 | When will the car be ready? |
33947 | Where are they? 33947 Where are they?" |
33947 | Where are you from? |
33947 | Where are your section men? |
33947 | Where did you get burned that way? |
33947 | Where do they meet? |
33947 | Where does your mother live? |
33947 | Where does yours go, Dad? |
33947 | Where is he? |
33947 | Where''s McNeal? |
33947 | Where''s McWilliams? |
33947 | Which way? 33947 Who sent you in here?" |
33947 | Who''s marked up to fire for you, Bartholomew? |
33947 | Who''s pulling Second Seventy- Seven? |
33947 | Who''s with you? |
33947 | Whose engine is it? |
33947 | Whose job did I take? |
33947 | Why did n''t he jump? |
33947 | Why did n''t you stay there? |
33947 | Why did n''t you? |
33947 | Why? 33947 Why?" |
33947 | Would I? 33947 Would I? |
33947 | Would n''t be any show to get on an engine, would there? |
33947 | Would you go out? |
33947 | Would you object, Bartholomew,I suggested, gently,"to a train- master for fireman?" |
33947 | You do n''t mean you''d try it? |
33947 | You going to give her to the kid? |
33947 | You know the old man''s stubborn as a dun mule, ai n''t he? 33947 You''re not going to tackle that bridge, are you?" |
33947 | You''re running the 313, I believe? |
33947 | ***** Is he alive? |
33947 | 6?" |
33947 | A wreck?" |
33947 | And if he did come, what on earth could stop the runaway train now? |
33947 | And when they talk of speed-- what can I think of but her? |
33947 | Are you McWilliams?" |
33947 | Are you clear there?" |
33947 | But red signals now-- to stop_ her_--to pull her flat on her haunches like a bronco? |
33947 | But the wind; did you ever see such a blow?" |
33947 | Cameron too? |
33947 | Can you stand it to double back to- night?" |
33947 | Could he make it? |
33947 | Could they hold it to the bottom? |
33947 | Dad, want to lie down? |
33947 | Dad,"cried Reynolds, all in a fright,"what''ll I do? |
33947 | Did he, maybe, think in that flash of Neeta and of whom she needed most-- of a young and a stalwart protector better than an old and a failing one? |
33947 | Did n''t you ever hear that? |
33947 | Did n''t you know that five big banks there closed their doors yesterday? |
33947 | Did n''t you, Dad? |
33947 | Did you ever buck snow with a rotary, Mr. Reed? |
33947 | Do you want to get off? |
33947 | Do you-- that is, have you heretofore supposed that a railroad belongs to the stockholders? |
33947 | Does it seem strange? |
33947 | Eh, Dad?" |
33947 | For instance,"asked Callahan, in his tired way,"what''s the matter with Bucks?" |
33947 | Have you ever felt the wind? |
33947 | He promised to deliver the train to our division on time the next evening, and he asked,"Can you get it through to Denver?" |
33947 | Hm?" |
33947 | How long ago? |
33947 | How many of those sixty- thousand- pound cars can you take over Beverly Hill with your Sky- Scraper?" |
33947 | How much? |
33947 | How to do it-- and exactly how to do it? |
33947 | How''ll you run them? |
33947 | How, for instance, the mysterious car was ever started from Chicago on such a delirious schedule, how many men in the service know that even yet? |
33947 | How?" |
33947 | I suppose you men represent your grievance committee?" |
33947 | In twenty minutes from the time Bucks took the key the two trains would be together-- could he save the passenger? |
33947 | Is it all right?" |
33947 | Is n''t that better? |
33947 | Murray, what do you say?" |
33947 | R- u- n- n- i- n- g a- w- a- y? |
33947 | Reed?" |
33947 | Reed?" |
33947 | Reed?" |
33947 | Say, Neighbor, I''m to get her myself, ai n''t I?" |
33947 | Say, she''s a bird, is n''t she? |
33947 | See?" |
33947 | See?" |
33947 | She did n''t? |
33947 | Take it? |
33947 | Thursday? |
33947 | To begin with, fifty passengers''lives-- that''s$ 5000 apiece, is n''t it?" |
33947 | What are you going to do for Burns, Neighbor?" |
33947 | What can I do?" |
33947 | What did brains or pluck count for now with 55 dancing along like a school- girl right into the teeth of it? |
33947 | What did they care for our efforts to screen a private distress which insisted on so paralyzing a time- card for 1026 miles? |
33947 | What do you hear from Denver, Neighbor?" |
33947 | What do you want?" |
33947 | What does it mean?" |
33947 | What have you, Georgie?" |
33947 | What man escape from that cab now? |
33947 | What of it? |
33947 | What on earth do you mean?" |
33947 | What time is it?" |
33947 | What voice could live in that hell of noise? |
33947 | What was the use of more? |
33947 | What were you doing all alone in that buggy? |
33947 | What you going to do about it?" |
33947 | What''s her orders?" |
33947 | What''s the matter with the man who tells the engineer what to do-- and just what to do? |
33947 | What''s the matter with you? |
33947 | What''s the matter with you?" |
33947 | What''s the matter?" |
33947 | What''s your name, son?" |
33947 | What''s your name?" |
33947 | What? |
33947 | When are you going to give us a passenger run with the Sky- Scraper, Neighbor?" |
33947 | When is 1 due? |
33947 | Who but a man baked twenty years in an engine cab could stand the steam that poured on him where he lay? |
33947 | Whose kid do you suppose it is? |
33947 | Why, do you know him?" |
33947 | Will there be two sections to- day?" |
33947 | Will you help?" |
33947 | Would Bucks never come? |
33947 | Would n''t I? |
33947 | Would n''t that kill you?" |
33947 | You fellows-- are you any good at all on the West End?" |
33947 | You would n''t beat honest working- men out of a job?" |
33947 | [ Illustration:"SINCLAIR WAS WHISTLING SHARPLY FOR ORDERS"]"Coin? |
33947 | and hung up to dry, were n''t you?" |
33947 | echoed Peaters, looking ahead at the mass of flame leaping upward--"me stay? |
26892 | About two streets away, eh George? |
26892 | Ai n''t this Fuller''s train? |
26892 | And run your ammunition right into the hands of the Yankees? |
26892 | And what are you doing down here? |
26892 | Anything wrong at the Jasons''? |
26892 | Anything wrong? |
26892 | Are we anywhere near Squire Peyton''s? |
26892 | Are we to be murdered? |
26892 | Are you going to give us up? |
26892 | Are you making full speed? |
26892 | Are you ready to go, boys? |
26892 | Are you ready, then, to swim across the Chickamauga? |
26892 | Are you there, Watson? |
26892 | Are you tired, too, Macgreggor? |
26892 | Be the powder there? |
26892 | But what will the men pretend to be while on their way down to Marietta? |
26892 | But you know where you''re going? |
26892 | Ca n''t I go to sleep? |
26892 | Ca n''t you make better use of it than this? 26892 Can Hare have told them, after all?" |
26892 | Can I take my dog along with us, wherever we go? |
26892 | Can either of you fellows talk like a darky? |
26892 | Can he possibly have gotten wind of our expedition? |
26892 | Can he suspect us? |
26892 | Can it be cavalry? |
26892 | Can the enemy have telegraphed from Big Shanty to Kingston by some circuitous route? 26892 Can we spend the night here, so that we can cross the river in the morning?" |
26892 | Can you hear me? 26892 Can you hold out for another mile or so?" |
26892 | Can you see any flag? |
26892 | Can you swim? |
26892 | Can you, George? |
26892 | Change our characters? |
26892 | Did you meet''The General''? |
26892 | Do n''t you want me to go along with you? |
26892 | Do you all come from the same part of Kentucky? |
26892 | Do you hear that? |
26892 | Do you know if he''s living at his place now? |
26892 | Do you see what I want? |
26892 | Do you think you''re strong enough to venture across? |
26892 | Do you two tramp through the country together? |
26892 | From Cincinnati? 26892 Gracious me,"cried Mrs. Hare;"did you bring that little fellow all the way from Kentucky?" |
26892 | Have either of you got anything to say? |
26892 | Have you fallen in love with the boy who sang, Laura? |
26892 | Hear what? 26892 Heard anything from the passenger yet?" |
26892 | How could I help it? |
26892 | How did you find that out? |
26892 | How long is this sort of thing to be kept up? |
26892 | How many are there of them? |
26892 | How many more trains are we to wait for? |
26892 | How much powder have you got on board? |
26892 | How much powder have you got on board? |
26892 | How near were you to the Sorrel Horse Hotel? |
26892 | How on earth did you know Waggie''s name? |
26892 | How on earth did you turn up here in the guise of a Confederate officer? |
26892 | How was that for a starter? |
26892 | I say,repeated the latter,"is your home in Ohio?" |
26892 | I suppose you think yourself pretty smart, do n''t you? |
26892 | If I wo n''t? |
26892 | Is he going too? |
26892 | Is he here now? |
26892 | Is n''t it strange? |
26892 | Is that you, boys? |
26892 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
26892 | Is this Major Lightfoot? |
26892 | Look here, pop,she cried,"do you expect me to cook for a hotel? |
26892 | Mr. Andrews,he said, coming up close to the leader, and speaking in a whisper,"ca n''t I go to Marietta, too?" |
26892 | Near what town? |
26892 | No boy with a dog? |
26892 | No one hurt, boys? |
26892 | Nonsense,interrupted a voice,"do n''t you know night''s just the time which they will take for escape?" |
26892 | Nothing wrong, I hope? |
26892 | Run where? |
26892 | Say Jake, wo n''t you ask us in to have something warm to drink? |
26892 | Seen no suspicious characters? |
26892 | Shall we cut a wire? |
26892 | Shall we find an engine here? |
26892 | Shall we go up to the house, and ask for something? |
26892 | Shall we knock at the door? |
26892 | Shall we make it? |
26892 | Shall we stop on the bridge? |
26892 | Shall we take up a rail? |
26892 | So that''s the name of the river, eh? |
26892 | So then you''re a Northerner, are you, my son? |
26892 | So you all come from Kentucky? |
26892 | So you are Northern spies, are you? |
26892 | Some animal? |
26892 | Some darky may live in it now, eh? |
26892 | That yarn worked admirably, did n''t it? |
26892 | The Generalwas soon motionless, whereupon Watson, peering out from the baggage car, called out:"Anything wrong?" |
26892 | Then we dare not keep on to Chattanooga? |
26892 | Then what are we to do? |
26892 | Then you do n''t believe us? |
26892 | There''s nothing like smallpox, eh? |
26892 | They would n''t hang the boy, would they? |
26892 | Wait till doomsday, why do n''t you say? |
26892 | Well, Waggie,he said,"we make three wet looking tramps, do n''t we? |
26892 | Well, since poor Mitchell is dead, how would you like to go as a volunteer aid on the staff of one of our generals? |
26892 | Well, stranger,he said,"did I hear you say you were from Kentucky? |
26892 | Well? |
26892 | Wha''foah you fellows gwine come heh foah? |
26892 | What are those circumstances? |
26892 | What are you doing here, youngster? |
26892 | What are you going to do? |
26892 | What can have gotten into George''s head? |
26892 | What d''ye mean,he shouted,"by trying to run me down?" |
26892 | What did he mean by too young? |
26892 | What did you lag behind at the station for, George? |
26892 | What did you let''em get away from you for? |
26892 | What do you mean? |
26892 | What do you mean? |
26892 | What do you mean? |
26892 | What do you want him for? |
26892 | What do you want to do? |
26892 | What does this red flag mean? |
26892 | What does_ what_ mean? |
26892 | What for you gwyne to disturb an ole niggah at dis hour? |
26892 | What have I done? |
26892 | What is it? |
26892 | What is the good? |
26892 | What is this powder train of yours, anyway? |
26892 | What part of the town did you live in? |
26892 | What was the boy up to,thought Watson,"and what''s to become of him?" |
26892 | What you folks want? |
26892 | What you gemmen want dis time o''night wid poor Aunty Dinah? |
26892 | What''s that? |
26892 | What''s the matter now? |
26892 | What''s the matter, Brown? |
26892 | What''s the matter? |
26892 | What''s the matter? |
26892 | What''s the matter? |
26892 | What''s the matter? |
26892 | What''s the matter? |
26892 | What''s the trouble? |
26892 | What''s to become of Waggie? |
26892 | What''s up, anyway? |
26892 | When did the dog stray in? |
26892 | Where are we? |
26892 | Where did you come from before you took to begging? |
26892 | Where did you come from? |
26892 | Where did you get your dog from, lad? |
26892 | Where did you learn the art, George? |
26892 | Where on earth are you? |
26892 | Where shall we go? |
26892 | Who brought the letter? |
26892 | Who is the tall chap with the beard who has charge of the train? |
26892 | Who''s coming to see you this kind of night? |
26892 | Whose cabin is this? |
26892 | Why did I let Waggie go in the car? |
26892 | Why did n''t Jason''s son tackle the fellows? |
26892 | Why did n''t you tell us before? |
26892 | Why did you take Fuller''s engine? |
26892 | Why is Beauregard in such a hurry for ammunition? |
26892 | Why is the road blocked up behind you? |
26892 | Why should this old gentleman and I be enemies? |
26892 | Why so? |
26892 | Why was America ever discovered by that inquisitive, prying old Christopher Columbus? |
26892 | Why, do n''t you know what that means? 26892 Why, since when have you started to keep dogs, parson?" |
26892 | Will that freight never turn up? |
26892 | Will we have time to burn the bridge? |
26892 | Will you do as I tell you? |
26892 | You and I are having an exciting time of it, are n''t we? |
26892 | You do n''t want me to be married twenty times, do you, my boy? |
26892 | You have n''t seen any one suspicious about here, have you, parson? |
26892 | You have no home? |
26892 | You were in one of the forward cars, were n''t you? 26892 You''ll admit,"said Lightfoot,"that I was too clever for you?" |
26892 | *****"Where had George gone?" |
26892 | An old man, with snow- white hair and beard, cried out:"Is that dog in the car part of your ammunition?" |
26892 | And Waggie has some tricks, has n''t he?" |
26892 | And are the rest of you willing?" |
26892 | And what of George Knight? |
26892 | And what were Watson, Jenks and Macgreggor thinking about his sudden exit from the scene? |
26892 | And when it comes to defending ourselves, how can we put up any sort of barricade?" |
26892 | And where were the missing man, boy, and dog? |
26892 | Any one to see me?" |
26892 | Are you willing to trust me blindly?" |
26892 | As the engine of the latter passed slowly by"The General"Andrews shouted to the men in the cab:"Where''s the passenger train that is on the schedule?" |
26892 | At last he said, trying to smile, yet only succeeding in looking hypocritical:"You ai n''t going to leave us this time of night, are you? |
26892 | But I suppose you want to see more of the war?" |
26892 | But how are we to steal a train? |
26892 | But what of that? |
26892 | But what was it that the sharp eyes of George detected? |
26892 | But where''s George? |
26892 | CHAPTER VII ENERGETIC PURSUIT Who were pursuing the Northern adventurers, and how did they learn the story of the stolen engine? |
26892 | Cincinnati, Ohio?" |
26892 | Could he keep his grasp on the animal? |
26892 | Could you manage to get word to them without attracting suspicion?" |
26892 | D''ye want to end up as food for fishes?" |
26892 | Did you have a hard time reaching here?" |
26892 | Did you notice on your way down that the railroad sidings between Chattanooga and Marietta were filled with freight cars? |
26892 | Do n''t you hear our enemies?" |
26892 | Do n''t you know your friend, Walter Jenks?" |
26892 | Do you hear anything?" |
26892 | Eh, George?" |
26892 | George looked about him, when he had finished his supper, and asked himself why he could not have a week of such quiet, peaceful life as this? |
26892 | Have you heard about the big engine steal?" |
26892 | How did you both get so bare of clothes?" |
26892 | How did you contrive to persuade the General?" |
26892 | How long, some of his friends ask anxiously, will he be able to continue in so perilous an enterprise? |
26892 | I know, as well as you, that there''s a big encampment at Big Shanty, but what of it? |
26892 | I was born and bred in Kentucky, and there''s no state like it-- now is there?" |
26892 | I wonder what''s the matter? |
26892 | In your pocket, eh?" |
26892 | Is n''t he with you?" |
26892 | It would never do to leave this battery behind in the office; but how could he take it away without being caught in the act? |
26892 | Or had this fellow heard of the excitement at the Peyton mansion? |
26892 | Page say the Major was a Virginian? |
26892 | President?" |
26892 | Shall I let them in?" |
26892 | Should the former try the experiment? |
26892 | Some one after us again?" |
26892 | Then coming to George, he said:"Look here, my boy, how are you on climbing?" |
26892 | Then, turning to Watson, he asked:"How does my plan, as now arranged, impress you, Watson?" |
26892 | Waggie, how are you, old man?" |
26892 | Was he about to faint again? |
26892 | Was he dead or was he still living, perhaps in some prison? |
26892 | Was he to begin now? |
26892 | Was it prudent to play the blind man once again? |
26892 | Was the look that passed quickly across his face one of surprise or disappointment? |
26892 | Was there an engine in pursuit? |
26892 | Watson was about to reply when an attractive voice, with the soft accent so characteristic of the Southerners, called:"What is it, Ethiopia? |
26892 | We are each secretly armed with pistols, are we not? |
26892 | Were they merely running on in an aimless way? |
26892 | What are fifty freight trains compared to powder for the troops?" |
26892 | What do you think of it?" |
26892 | What had been happening during the half hour which George had devoted to a nap? |
26892 | What is the nearest town to the places you live in?" |
26892 | What meant all the wood in the world without a good supply of water? |
26892 | What part of it do you live in?" |
26892 | What part of the county do you come from?" |
26892 | What was camp life compared to the delight of such an adventure? |
26892 | What were the feelings of Watson, and Jenks, and Macgreggor as they saw George leave the car, and the train rattled away? |
26892 | What''s the use to me of money, if we all get drowned crossing over?" |
26892 | What''s your county?" |
26892 | When it had been disposed of, and the servants had left the dining- room, George said, almost under his breath:"Had n''t we better be off? |
26892 | When the recital was over the President asked:"Do you know that poor General Mitchell has died from yellow fever?" |
26892 | When they reached the gate of the little garden in front of the place George asked:"What story are we to tell?" |
26892 | Where had the two Northerners heard that name? |
26892 | Where was his father? |
26892 | Where were Watson and George during this escapade? |
26892 | Where''s Uncle Daniel?" |
26892 | Where''s your dog? |
26892 | Who is Andrews, and who is George Knight? |
26892 | Why did I try to drag him across the river?" |
26892 | Why do n''t you go serve your country, as other young men are doing, instead of idling around at a safe distance from the bullets?" |
26892 | Why do n''t you join the army, and sing to the soldiers?" |
26892 | Why had the farmer regarded him and his two companions with such a suspicious glance? |
26892 | Why should I shield you?" |
26892 | Why this sudden reticence on their part? |
26892 | Would they remain free men, or would they fall into the hands of their pursuers, with all the consequences that such a capture implied? |
26892 | You can sing negro songs, ca n''t you?" |
26892 | You do n''t think I would be fool enough to see you fellows walking away without making a trial to get you back?" |
26892 | exclaimed the person next to him, in a tone of boyish surprise;"how can you talk like that? |
26892 | he muttered;"my young infant wants me to mind my own business, eh?" |
26892 | laughed one of the passengers, a gouty- looking old gentleman;"do those fellows expect to beat an engine that way?" |
34365 | A head- ender, eh? |
34365 | All right, partner; what is it? |
34365 | And do n''t you know a switchman ought n''t t''put his feet in flatboats? 34365 And where''s Special 326?" |
34365 | Be no wreck? 34365 Blackburn,"he asked over the wire, impatiently,"what in God''s name is the matter?" |
34365 | But a fellow would think it was to hear it; now he would, for a fact, would n''t he? |
34365 | But what? |
34365 | C- c- could I get another c- c- cup? |
34365 | Can you dance? |
34365 | Chris, what do they give you for tinkering up the ties? |
34365 | Could I have a little c- c- condensed milk? |
34365 | Dave, you''ve been running here a good while, have n''t you? |
34365 | Did you hear that? |
34365 | Do you sell tickets on c- coffee here? |
34365 | Do you want my punch, Tommie? |
34365 | Do you want to resign? |
34365 | Done with me? |
34365 | Ed,Hailey raised his voice at the foreman,"will you get those stay- bolts and chuck them into the baggage- car for me on Number Two? |
34365 | Fifteen minutes? |
34365 | Fifty cents a b- b- box? |
34365 | Gentlemen, what does this mean? 34365 Good, ai n''t it?" |
34365 | Got any money for breakfast? |
34365 | Got your rights, ai n''t you? |
34365 | Guess you''ll let him alone now, wo n''t you? |
34365 | Hailey,Bucks spoke slowly,"I do n''t need to tell you what I think of it, do I? |
34365 | Have to? 34365 Have you been in the British Army?" |
34365 | Have you got your pistol? |
34365 | He''s been firing for years, has n''t he? 34365 How can I take charge of conductors, talk to conductors? |
34365 | How did your train get away from you? |
34365 | How many years? |
34365 | How much is that kind? |
34365 | How much? |
34365 | How the devil are we to get the mail with you blocking the track two hours? |
34365 | How''s Dave? |
34365 | How''s Tommie to- night? |
34365 | Hurt, Mac? |
34365 | I did n''t say so, did I? 34365 I do n''t want one, do n''t mind me; just fix these gentlemen out with some tobacco before they scalp me, will you?" |
34365 | I mean, c- could a fellow buy a chance-- or get into a raffle-- on the h- h- h- hot tank? |
34365 | I suppose he''s competent to run the train back, is n''t he? |
34365 | I thought you wanted the mail? |
34365 | If it is put through, how much of it do you propose to take yourself? |
34365 | Is there anything,I faltered,"I can do?" |
34365 | Jack, will you light up? |
34365 | Just luck,he laughed,"was n''t it?" |
34365 | Look here,he exclaimed,"did you ever hear of such a mix- up in your life? |
34365 | Maje? |
34365 | Maybe,he asked after a while,"did n''t you send the orders right and copy them wrong in the book, Blackburn?" |
34365 | McGraw, eh? 34365 Me? |
34365 | My train? |
34365 | Not going back this morning-- why do n''t you wait for Four, to- night? |
34365 | Not-- you''re not going down there to- night? |
34365 | Off track? |
34365 | Oh, that''s Shockley, is it? |
34365 | Or will it get us altogether? |
34365 | Pray God, do you want to mob me, Ben Nicholson? |
34365 | Quit? 34365 Resign?" |
34365 | Shockley? |
34365 | Shockley? |
34365 | Smallest you got? |
34365 | Speak, ca n''t you? 34365 That''s worse than railroading, ai n''t it?" |
34365 | The moon--"The_ moon_? |
34365 | Then there is n''t to be any wreck? |
34365 | Well, what''s the racket anyhow, Chris? |
34365 | Were you a railroad superintendent at thirty? |
34365 | What are you going to do with Bucks, Dave? |
34365 | What are you looking for, Neighbor? |
34365 | What business is it of yours how I jump a fellow? |
34365 | What can I do? |
34365 | What can I do? |
34365 | What did they say? |
34365 | What do I know about your word of honor? |
34365 | What do I think of it? |
34365 | What do you take? |
34365 | What do you want me for? |
34365 | What do you want? |
34365 | What does Neale say? |
34365 | What does he say, Bucks? |
34365 | What for? 34365 What for?" |
34365 | What have you done to meet it? |
34365 | What is it, sir? |
34365 | What is it? |
34365 | What says the slave? |
34365 | What the blazes do you mean by bringing in an engine in that condition? |
34365 | What was his name? |
34365 | What''ll it be? |
34365 | What''s a quarter of an hour in a lifetime, Jackman, on the last oasis? 34365 What''s so?" |
34365 | What''s the matter? |
34365 | What''s the matter? |
34365 | What''s the reason the air would n''t work? |
34365 | What''s up here? 34365 What''s wrong?" |
34365 | What''s your name? |
34365 | What''s your name? |
34365 | What''s your permit? |
34365 | What''you doing here? |
34365 | Where you going, Phil? |
34365 | Where you going? |
34365 | Where''d you get this? |
34365 | Where''s your nerve? |
34365 | Where''s your wreckers? 34365 Where?" |
34365 | Who is that slim fellow? |
34365 | Who the hell is he? |
34365 | Who wants me? |
34365 | Who? |
34365 | Why do n''t you cool your hat before you jump a fellow like that? |
34365 | Why do n''t you take hold switching with me and get three dollars? |
34365 | Why not? |
34365 | Why should I resign? |
34365 | Why west of the Missouri? |
34365 | Why? 34365 Why?" |
34365 | Why? |
34365 | Yard master here? |
34365 | You call me a scab, do you? |
34365 | You know better than that, do n''t you? |
34365 | You know now, do n''t you? |
34365 | You say you had your head out the cupola and saw the white signal? |
34365 | You want me to drink this? |
34365 | You would n''t turn us down on fifteen minutes this far from an oasis, would you, Bucks? |
34365 | You''ll have to--"Have to? |
34365 | _ What?_"Bob at-- Rat River-- gave Third Eighty a clearance without the Order 79. |
34365 | _ What?_Barnes Tracy was trying to make himself heard:"The moon, damn it! |
34365 | All the growth, all the prosperity-- what was it due to? |
34365 | And why? |
34365 | Are you crazy?" |
34365 | Are you horsing me?" |
34365 | Are you running an engine on this line and do n''t know the orders for those mail bags? |
34365 | As he turned away, the engineer of Number Sixteen slapped Aloysius on the back:"Kid, why the blazes did n''t you thank him?" |
34365 | Blackburn?" |
34365 | Bucks? |
34365 | But when did it rise? |
34365 | Callahan?" |
34365 | Can you do anything for the boys?" |
34365 | Canoe?" |
34365 | Chance? |
34365 | Did n''t he just make you an engineer? |
34365 | Did n''t he just say,''Run your train back behind us to Wind River''?" |
34365 | Did you tell the president that?" |
34365 | Do n''t you know some day you''ll get your foot stuck in a tongue or a guard? |
34365 | Do n''t you say so, Martie? |
34365 | Do you know what you have done?" |
34365 | Do you think Bucks ever says a thing like that without meaning it? |
34365 | Do you want it?" |
34365 | Giddings told you? |
34365 | Had he no relations back in the mountains? |
34365 | Had the operator displayed red signals? |
34365 | Hailey?" |
34365 | He paid his dues; he made his passes; he sat in his place, what more could be required? |
34365 | Hm? |
34365 | Hm? |
34365 | Hm?" |
34365 | How can I discharge a conductor for stealing when he knows I''m a thief myself? |
34365 | How does it happen we are cursed with such a crew of blooming idiots? |
34365 | How was it possible for one train to have seen the headlight of another among the buttes of the Peace River country? |
34365 | How''s your culverts, old boy? |
34365 | I ca n''t kill him, can I? |
34365 | I heard Callahan reply with a question:"What is the matter?" |
34365 | I suppose you will admit there''s room for improvement in the running of this division?" |
34365 | I was just a boy around the Wickiup then, but I remember the crowd; who could forget them? |
34365 | I wonder if in this life it is n''t mostly in the face after all? |
34365 | In the street, station, roundhouse, yards, stock pens? |
34365 | Is anything wrong?" |
34365 | Is everybody struck dumb?" |
34365 | It was a clear yet cold,"You old tub, get out of our way, will you?" |
34365 | It''s you that want him, Curtis Rucker, is it? |
34365 | Just at present I''ve got to lean considerably on a trainmaster, do you want the job?" |
34365 | Know him?" |
34365 | Leave it for who? |
34365 | Lind me a couple till pay- a- day, Cooney, will you? |
34365 | Long as he''s behaving himself I believe in giving him a chance-- h''m?" |
34365 | Martie, what do you say?" |
34365 | No wives or daughters or fathers or mothers or friends or anything? |
34365 | Nobody up in the Spider country? |
34365 | Nothing more in, Duffy?" |
34365 | Now will you be good?" |
34365 | Past without a word of danger or of accident, or even that they had seen Number One and stopped in time to avoid a collision? |
34365 | Pay? |
34365 | See? |
34365 | She admired the engineer, Nellie-- was there ever a doughnut girl who did n''t? |
34365 | Sixty- five miles an_ hour_? |
34365 | Steve swore mightily he was fit and could do the trick-- but what''s the word of a railroad man that drinks? |
34365 | That''s English, ai n''t it? |
34365 | The fireman backed the train to Rat River-- see?" |
34365 | Then after a pause:"Could I get a cigar?" |
34365 | Then the Rucker operator began again to talk about Jimmie Bradshaw, and"Who''s Bradshaw?" |
34365 | Then where''ll you be, Dutch, with a string of flats rolling down on you, eh?" |
34365 | There was an interval; then Callahan asked,"What''s the matter?" |
34365 | There''s been trouble, has n''t there? |
34365 | Through the_ Rockies_? |
34365 | Tired? |
34365 | Two passenger trains meet in hell and be no wreck? |
34365 | Was there a baby run over? |
34365 | Was there a child lost? |
34365 | Was there a violently large- headed, coarse- featured, hangdog, clattering sort of a chap anywhere around? |
34365 | We knew when we went into the superintendent''s office that somebody was to get fired; the only question was, who?--the train crew or the operator? |
34365 | We''re forty minutes late, ai n''t we?" |
34365 | Well, then, what''s a matter with you? |
34365 | What are you doing? |
34365 | What could I say? |
34365 | What did it mean, Blackburn? |
34365 | What do you mean? |
34365 | What do you say? |
34365 | What for? |
34365 | What have you done? |
34365 | What was he but a nightman, anyway? |
34365 | What was the protection? |
34365 | What''s the matter with you all? |
34365 | What''s the matter, Giddings?" |
34365 | What''s the matter?" |
34365 | What''s your name?" |
34365 | What''s your name?" |
34365 | When will he die? |
34365 | Where did you get that pneumatic process?" |
34365 | Where did you meet Special 202?" |
34365 | Where''d you get them shoes?" |
34365 | Where''s the fall down?" |
34365 | Where''s your relief? |
34365 | Who says so?" |
34365 | Who was it now that had shaken his stubborn conviction? |
34365 | Why?" |
34365 | Will you kill two trainloads of people without an effort to do anything?" |
34365 | You are my partner, are n''t you?" |
34365 | You did the firing?" |
34365 | You''re not going to throw over this trainmaster offer?" |
34365 | Your scabs came in and took our throttles on the Reading-- why should n''t we pull your latches out here? |
34365 | _ Moon._""Who''s talking at Rat River?" |
34365 | _ Nothing?_ Why do n''t you speak? |
34365 | _ Nothing?_ Why do n''t you speak? |
34365 | demanded Kate angrily;"is your coffee cold?" |
34365 | returned the superintendent, sharply,"who are you?" |
19007 | ''And what do you want me to do, madam?'' 19007 ''Any mail for me, mother?'' |
19007 | ''Any patent on the name?'' 19007 ''Ca n''t I do anything for you, Mr. Rokesby-- for Rachel''s sake?'' |
19007 | ''Captain,''said Eli Jeffries, the second mate,''do you know what I''ve been thinkin''? 19007 ''Did he have on a false moustache, and a good deal of money and securities in a satchel, and everybody think at first he was a burglar?'' |
19007 | ''Did he stand on one track, to get out of the way of another train, and get struck?'' 19007 ''Did n''t take notice that the face of your"passage"was granite or quartz rocks, hey? |
19007 | ''Do you think we could get down the other side?'' 19007 ''Father Burrows,''said I,''what do you think that is back there?'' |
19007 | ''I would n''t like anything better; will you take me?'' 19007 ''If I can; what is it that you want me to do, madam?'' |
19007 | ''Is she married?'' 19007 ''It would n''t be of much use to get an experienced man, would it-- the engine will burn a new fuel in a new way?'' |
19007 | ''Jim,''said he, with tears in his eyes,''are you satisfied with me on the 12?'' 19007 ''Kind o''sudden, hey, Kid?'' |
19007 | ''No_ ifs_ about it; will you go?'' 19007 ''Nor anyone else?'' |
19007 | ''Send word to her that I am going away and want to see her, will you, Kid?'' 19007 ''She has refused him then?'' |
19007 | ''Suppose I help the child, and you do n''t tell me the secret?'' 19007 ''That baby- faced boy says he wo n''t fire for anybody but you; what have you been putting into his head?'' |
19007 | ''Was he a sailor?'' 19007 ''Was he laid up long? |
19007 | ''Was n''t he killed at the attack on Vicksburg?'' 19007 ''Well, I could fire for you, could n''t I?'' |
19007 | ''Well, it''s time they was doing something; did he say when it was?'' 19007 ''What did you call me for? |
19007 | ''What in hell did he say?'' 19007 ''What is that, Joe?'' |
19007 | ''What part of England?'' 19007 ''What''s the matter with you, Kid?'' |
19007 | ''What''s wrong here?'' 19007 ''What? |
19007 | ''Where''s the gold?'' 19007 ''Who''s this boat named after?'' |
19007 | ''Why? 19007 ''Wo n''t you wait until Monday? |
19007 | ''Yes, indeed; then you are Sanson?'' 19007 ''Yes, yes; you knowed him did n''t you? |
19007 | ''Yes; but how did you know that?'' 19007 ''You do n''t think there is land over there somewhere?'' |
19007 | ''You would judge her alone, forgetting her mother?'' 19007 ''You?'' |
19007 | A kindly- faced old lady looked at me over her spectacles, and I asked:''Does Mrs. Julia Bradshaw live here?'' |
19007 | Ai n''t you got no gun? |
19007 | And the other favor, Billy? |
19007 | And what for pray? |
19007 | And your father and mother, what of them, my friend? |
19007 | Any one killed? |
19007 | Anything queer about''em? |
19007 | Are you certain as to the truth of this awful report? |
19007 | Around the Horn, then? |
19007 | At last I mustered up courage and asked:''How is Tamplin?'' 19007 Aw cum off, Hickey,"said Sullivan,"phat the divil does yez know av foightin''injuns? |
19007 | But you will land me in''Frisco, wo n''t you? 19007 Corporal,"said the colonel,"what time did you receive this bulletin?" |
19007 | D''ye know if you go in ye got to stay for the next two weeks? |
19007 | Did you take care of my pack? |
19007 | Do you know that dirty old pack contains more treasures than the mines of Africa? |
19007 | Er-- what became of the young man that they-- er-- adopted? |
19007 | Ever seen her? |
19007 | God bless your dear eyes,said I,"where would we have all been now but for you?" |
19007 | Good gracious,said I,"whatever brought you away out here, and had n''t you just as lief shoot a man as scare him to death?" |
19007 | Gunderson, old man, how are you? |
19007 | Has she been warned? |
19007 | Have you any later news, corporal? |
19007 | Have you ever made any inquiries about the mother, Gun? |
19007 | He is in no great danger? |
19007 | Hello, youngster, what''s your name? |
19007 | Hogan? 19007 Hold your horses, sonny, what''s the difference between you and a jackass?" |
19007 | How did you know it was my wife anyway? |
19007 | How old is she? |
19007 | I thought you had got over that a long time ago? |
19007 | I turned and bolted toward a door, when Gardiner yelled:''Where are you going?'' |
19007 | Inspection- car,said I;"how did you get here?" |
19007 | It was getting dusk and we were out of sight, so I sat down the pail and asked:''Do I get a kiss, this evening?'' |
19007 | Jimmie, what''s the swash we hear? |
19007 | Let me see, what is your name? |
19007 | Let''s see, where shall I begin? |
19007 | Look here, you young rascal,I said sharply,"what are you doing in here? |
19007 | M----? 19007 Mother, how can you forgive me?" |
19007 | Of course--"Sure she spoke? |
19007 | Oh, I see; married again? |
19007 | Oh, what story? 19007 Say anything brash?" |
19007 | She got up; came to our table and laid a card by my plate, and said,''I beg your pardon; but wo n''t you call on me? 19007 Story- teller,"said I;"what story?" |
19007 | Sunk? |
19007 | Suppose, Gun, that she showed up now; loved you more than ever for what you have done, and renewed her old proposal? 19007 Tell me about her?" |
19007 | Thanks, captain, I know I must look all of that; but, let me see, forty- five, fifty- five, sixty- five, seventy-- seventy-- what year is this? |
19007 | That so? |
19007 | Then what do you mean by insulting us by speaking to such a man? 19007 There was a tremor in the Kid''s voice as he took my hand and said,''We are friends, Jim; ai n''t we?'' |
19007 | Wa''n''t it below the knee? |
19007 | Was the amputation above or below the knee? |
19007 | Washout? |
19007 | Well, John Alexander, how in the name of thunder did you get away out here on the main stem, without orders? |
19007 | Well, what are you going to do about it? 19007 Well, what is it, pray? |
19007 | Well, where were you for ten minutes before that? |
19007 | Well, who under the sun are you? |
19007 | Well,continued the stranger,"he let me look for a minute or two, and then said:''Was it anything particular?'' |
19007 | Went up special to a weddin'', do n''t you see? 19007 What did she say?" |
19007 | What did you tell her, Gun? |
19007 | What does he want, Jack? |
19007 | What for? |
19007 | What kind of a man are you? |
19007 | What leg story? |
19007 | What now, Billy? |
19007 | What ship? |
19007 | What would you do, if she was to turn up? |
19007 | What''s your name, youngster, and where is your home? |
19007 | When can I get to Boston? |
19007 | When we were out of earshot, she asked without looking up:''Well, old coolness, are you all right?'' |
19007 | Where did you get her? |
19007 | Where does Dillon''s folks live now? |
19007 | Where''s John? |
19007 | Where? |
19007 | Which foot? |
19007 | Who do you think you are talking to? |
19007 | Who is she, did you say? |
19007 | Who''s been double- heading, Gun? |
19007 | Why did you not bring it to me direct as you have heretofore done? |
19007 | Why did you take this great interest in me? |
19007 | Why, how''s that? |
19007 | Why,I asked,"are you so short- handed that you are doubling and trebling?" |
19007 | Why,''Lige, do n''t you know who the woman was that gave you brandy, held your head, and used her skirts for bandages when you were hurt? |
19007 | You did? |
19007 | You,said Hebron,"you are a despatcher; what the devil do you know about running a locomotive?" |
19007 | Yours, Gun? |
19007 | ''Rope?'' |
19007 | ''What are you doing freezing here when we can both be comfortable and warm in the house? |
19007 | 144"Are you not doing it just because I am a woman?" |
19007 | 21, which is an hour late from the south to- day; what are you going to do with her? |
19007 | A young woman came in, looked at me hard for a moment, laid a package on my desk and asked,"Is this the Mr. Alexander who used to be an engineer?" |
19007 | After sending five of the ten messages,"JL"stopped a second and said,"How do I come?" |
19007 | And who the hell says they ai n''t?'' |
19007 | Are you ashamed or afraid to sleep with me? |
19007 | Are you not doing it simply because I am a woman?" |
19007 | As I went toward the engine, I met the watchman:"''Phy do n''t that fireman o''yourn sleep in the house or on the caboose floor such a night as this? |
19007 | As we cleaned our feet at the door, I said:"Let me see, I did not hear your name?" |
19007 | Bates?" |
19007 | Bennett, the chief, was standing by the counter as I went in, and after a glance at me he said,"What''s up, kid? |
19007 | Brink, the superintendent, turned to Webster and said,"I wonder why that night man does n''t come?" |
19007 | Burke''s Irish blood was all up in his head by this time, and he said:"What do you mean by talking that way to me? |
19007 | But as I said good morning to Borroughs, I noticed that he seemed rather glum, and I asked:"What''s the matter, Dad? |
19007 | But do you think it is fair to discharge me for the same thing that you only gave Mr. Ferral fifteen days for? |
19007 | But where was 21 all this time? |
19007 | But where was the engineer? |
19007 | But where were the engineer and fireman? |
19007 | But where will you put it?'' |
19007 | By the bald- headed Abraham, who says Chuck Burrows ai n''t got no kin? |
19007 | Can you tell me if he is on this wire?" |
19007 | Cause? |
19007 | Could she make them see her? |
19007 | Daniels grew red with rage, and said:"Bates? |
19007 | Daniels was a gruff sort of a fellow, and he snapped back at me,"What''s the matter with you? |
19007 | Did Hogan succeed in his perilous mission? |
19007 | Did I fire him? |
19007 | Did n''t she kill Jim O''Neil with the reverse lever? |
19007 | Did n''t you see him?" |
19007 | Did n''t you work at Sweeping Water, Nebraska, some time ago, and did n''t you have some kind of a queer smash up there?" |
19007 | Do you hear?" |
19007 | Do you know what he is?" |
19007 | Do you know?" |
19007 | Do you?" |
19007 | Do? |
19007 | Does it not seem simple? |
19007 | Ever go into one of the latter places? |
19007 | Feeling bad this morning?" |
19007 | Feeling like a sneak I followed him, and when we had reached his sitting- room, he sat down and said,"Kid, how much were you in on that deal?" |
19007 | Fine introduction was n''t it? |
19007 | From Washington,"Have you stopped the fleet?" |
19007 | Good joke, was n''t it? |
19007 | Great, is n''t it? |
19007 | Had n''t she been burned the first trip? |
19007 | Had n''t she lain down on the bed of the Arkansas river and wallowed on"Scar Face"Hopkins, and he not up yet? |
19007 | Had n''t she run away time and again without cause or provocation? |
19007 | He came over to my desk and gruffly asked,"What time is there a passenger train east to- night?" |
19007 | He lit his pipe and asked:"Been whaling, or hunting the North Pole?" |
19007 | He looked away from me, reached over and started the pump, and said:"Do n''t you know?" |
19007 | He was as cool as an iceberg, and squarely facing Cartwright said,"You would n''t shoot an unarmed man would you, Jim?" |
19007 | He was standing in the crowd and when he saw me put on the jumper he came over and said:"See here, Mr. Hebron, who is going to pull this train out?" |
19007 | His office hours? |
19007 | His office? |
19007 | His pay? |
19007 | His rank and title? |
19007 | Hogg, do n''t you know me?'' |
19007 | How is it for a ride?" |
19007 | How long did they live apart? |
19007 | How old would you take me to be?" |
19007 | How was he to send a warning? |
19007 | How''s my friend, Sanson?'' |
19007 | I broke him and said,"Hello, Ned Kingsbury, where did you come from?" |
19007 | I came on board out of curiosity to--''"''Reporter, hey?'' |
19007 | I drew in a long breath and said:"Who sh- sh- sh- all I s- s- s- ay y- y- y- ou are?" |
19007 | I exclaimed;"why, how was that?" |
19007 | I met Jack and a policeman, on my next trip, and he exclaimed:"''Why, ai n''t you gone out yet?'' |
19007 | I opened up on him and said,"Where have you been for the last fifteen minutes?" |
19007 | I replied,"Have all the transports pulled out of the slip?" |
19007 | I sat down and presently I heard the sounder say,"Who?" |
19007 | I was afraid you would not let me stay with you, if you knew--''"''Why, you ai n''t killed any one, Kid?'' |
19007 | In a very few minutes Mr. J-- appeared at my office, blustering like a Kansas cyclone, and demanded to know why I had dared to treat him thus? |
19007 | Is he as badly disfigured as I am?'' |
19007 | Jim Wainright put his hand up to his eyes for a minute, and his voice was a little husky as he said:"No, John, the Kid went away--""Went away?" |
19007 | Jim put his finger on it, and then turning me around towards him, he said:"How came you by that?" |
19007 | Joe Saunders was the chief, and when he came over he said,"What''s the trouble here, kid, this wire gone down?" |
19007 | John, did you ever notice that you could_ feel_ the presence of some people; you knew they were near you without seeing them? |
19007 | Just as soon as all is safe, you shall hear from me; ca n''t you trust me, Joe?'' |
19007 | Just then I heard an ominous click and in a second I was gazing down the barrel of a.45, and he said,"Now will you send it? |
19007 | Leave him to roast alive? |
19007 | Listen man, do n''t you hear it? |
19007 | Long I look into their peaceful depths thinking of their story, and ask,"Dear Eyes, is it well with thee?" |
19007 | Louis?" |
19007 | My God, man, where''s Rachel?'' |
19007 | Need I say how proud I felt when I received a message from the Chief Despatcher telling me to report for duty that night? |
19007 | No one but mothers have a right to expect to go to a heaven, and the only question that''ll be asked is,''Have you been a mother?'' |
19007 | Not a very pleasant one is it?" |
19007 | Now, ca n''t you help me to fool that old villain of a Sanson, and put papa''s half of the money in a safe place?'' |
19007 | Now, will you go on the 17_ as ordered_?'' |
19007 | Occasionally some artist(?) |
19007 | Old Chuck Burrows was a particular friend of mine-- where is he?" |
19007 | On the way over to the Elephant he said,"Say, kid, did you think I''d shoot if you had n''t sent the message?" |
19007 | Phat were ye here before ye''listed? |
19007 | Phat were ye over in the auld sod? |
19007 | Pleasant fix to be in, was n''t it? |
19007 | Presently Bill looked up, and spying me, pointed to my stack of chips, and said,"Whose stack is that?" |
19007 | Running, I suppose?" |
19007 | Sassy, was n''t she? |
19007 | Say, captain, how long will it take to get there, and how long before you start?" |
19007 | See that low place where we went up? |
19007 | See this peak? |
19007 | Seen a ghost? |
19007 | Snap for the aforesaid"head,"was n''t it? |
19007 | Suppose some one else had come out and said he was the chief despatcher, was he going to let them in the office without some proof? |
19007 | Surely you have n''t anything to say but what my friends can hear, have you?" |
19007 | The conductor glanced at it for a moment and then said with a broad grin,"Say, kid, which foot did you use in copying this?" |
19007 | The elder Miss Slade turned on me like a tigress, and said,"Mr. Bates, do you know who that man is? |
19007 | The eyes do not change as once they did, or has age dimmed my sight and imagination? |
19007 | The first thing the despatcher said was:"Where in h-- l have you been?" |
19007 | The next trip I had to buy some underclothes: would"mother"tell me how to pick out pure wool? |
19007 | The other day, my office boy brought me a card that read,"Mrs. Henry Adams, Washington, D. C.""Is she a book agent?" |
19007 | The telegraph poles were thirty feet high; how was I to make a connection with only eight feet of wire and no climbers? |
19007 | Then Hopkins brought in his little three- year- old daughter, who immediately climbed on my knee, captured my watch, and asked:"What oo name?" |
19007 | There was a tear in his eye, as he turned to go away, so I stepped up to him and asked:"Any new wives wanted down your way, Elder?" |
19007 | They did n''t like it worth a cent, but as one striker put it,"What''s the use of monkeyin''with them reg''lars? |
19007 | They do n''t come right down and say,"Something''s the matter with me; what would you do for it?" |
19007 | To tell a despatcher to wait a minute when he is sending a train order is to court sudden death, and Burke said,"Wait for what?" |
19007 | Up went that window, and Mr. Barry''s face looking like a boiled beet appeared,"Smash that window will you? |
19007 | Wainright, who is going to fire the Experiment?'' |
19007 | Was I running the"III"or was"Her Eyes?" |
19007 | Was this to be another Little Big Horn, and were these brave men to be massacred like the gallant 7th Cavalry under Custer? |
19007 | What a place to bring a woman? |
19007 | What are you a- doin''? |
19007 | What better was I than this woman? |
19007 | What brings you the list you so anxiously scan of the dead and wounded? |
19007 | What de ye say? |
19007 | What did you sign there?" |
19007 | What is it? |
19007 | What is responsible for the news of victory? |
19007 | What kind o''looking chap is he?" |
19007 | What was I to do? |
19007 | What was he to do? |
19007 | What was it? |
19007 | What would you do if I should die?'' |
19007 | What''s become of him? |
19007 | What''s his name?" |
19007 | What''s your name? |
19007 | When I gets well again will you gimme back my job so I can learn some more about the tick tick? |
19007 | When did you come out here? |
19007 | When the day man came in, half dressed, he said,"Well, what the devil is the matter?" |
19007 | Where be you goin'', anyway?'' |
19007 | Where had I heard that peculiar jerky sending before? |
19007 | Where was it? |
19007 | Where was the re- enforcement? |
19007 | Who is Hogan?" |
19007 | Who is she? |
19007 | Who says I''m not?'' |
19007 | Why ca n''t you use some judgment in your runnin''? |
19007 | Why did he go? |
19007 | Why did n''t it come? |
19007 | Will you do it?'' |
19007 | Wo n''t you help me?" |
19007 | Wo n''t you please take me back?" |
19007 | Wo n''t you take him? |
19007 | Wot''s all them glass jars for wid the green water and the tin in?" |
19007 | Would he take$ 2,100 out of Jim''s money, unbeknown to Jim, and pay the balance of the price of the farm over what"mother"had? |
19007 | Would they stop for her? |
19007 | Would you mind sending down for it?" |
19007 | You remember the Black Prince robbery?'' |
19007 | Your father?'' |
19007 | [ Illustration:"Are you not doing it just because I am a woman?"] |
19007 | [ Illustration:"He looked at me... then catching me by the collar...."] Did I lick him? |
19007 | [ Illustration:"See here, who is going to pull this train?"] |
19007 | do you know I was wishin''and waitin''for you? |
19007 | how did you-- where did you hear that?" |
19007 | inquired a Yankee sailor, sticking his nose and a clay pipe overboard;''might you be wantin''to come aboard?'' |
19007 | that kid?'' |
19007 | was I to be burned like a rat in a trap? |
19007 | well if that is the case?" |
19007 | wh- wh- at d- d- o y- y- ou m- mean b- b- y m- mocking me? |
19007 | what''s that noise I hear?" |
19007 | what''s wanted?" |
19007 | where the devil have you been all the time? |
19007 | why did n''t those northern regiments come? |
19007 | why, man, fighting was meat and drink to him--''"''Was he a whaler?'' |
19007 | will you? |
38969 | A nickel? |
38969 | A raid? |
38969 | A wreck, you say? |
38969 | About last night''s affair I suppose? |
38969 | Acts sort of scared, eh? |
38969 | Ai n''t he a dangerous customer to let inside here? |
38969 | Ai n''t it, though? |
38969 | All ready? |
38969 | All right, I guess my check is good for that balance, eh, constable? |
38969 | All the same-- you see, do you? |
38969 | And the convict portrait Ike Slump had? |
38969 | And the safes and the money parrels? |
38969 | And then? |
38969 | And you''ve got a writ to execute it, have n''t you? |
38969 | Are you sure it was thrown? |
38969 | Are, eh? |
38969 | Are? |
38969 | As it is, what could I do with the proposition? |
38969 | But the missing car,said Ralph thoughtfully;"what has become of it?" |
38969 | But-- the telegraph instruments, the wires? |
38969 | Ca n''t you rig her up and give me clear tracks for an hour, till I make investigations? |
38969 | Can I? 38969 Can you dig out any lanterns?" |
38969 | Can you fire? |
38969 | Can you get me Preston? |
38969 | Cash? |
38969 | Did n''t that show that Glen Palmer was trying to get some word to me? |
38969 | Did you ever meet him before? |
38969 | Did you ever work up there? |
38969 | Did you get all that, Fairbanks? |
38969 | Did you see him strike me? |
38969 | Did you see him? |
38969 | Did you send a message? |
38969 | Did you think I sent for you at twenty dollars a night for fun? |
38969 | Did you wish to see me? |
38969 | Did you? |
38969 | Did? |
38969 | Do n''t you want to see him? |
38969 | Do you know what it is? |
38969 | Do you know? |
38969 | Do you live near here? |
38969 | Do you want to earn a few dollars? |
38969 | Do? |
38969 | Doing some stunts, are n''t you? |
38969 | Eh? 38969 Eh? |
38969 | Eh? |
38969 | Evidence of what? |
38969 | Exactly, and the''Consists''? |
38969 | For me, eh? |
38969 | For what? |
38969 | Found that out, did you? |
38969 | Found the pay car, eh, Fairbanks? |
38969 | Four thousand dollars? |
38969 | Go ahead, what are you driving at? |
38969 | Going to scare or bump the fellow ahead? |
38969 | Going to the Junction? |
38969 | Gone through, eh? |
38969 | Gone, have they? |
38969 | Have they found any trace of the missing pay car? |
38969 | Have, eh? |
38969 | He sent you, did he? |
38969 | Hello, there,he hailed,"what''s the trouble here?" |
38969 | Hey-- who says so? |
38969 | Hey-- why not? |
38969 | Hey? |
38969 | Hollow of my hand-- see? |
38969 | How about Mr. Adair, Ralph? |
38969 | How about getting down to the bluff switch, Forgan? |
38969 | How about yourself? |
38969 | How are you going to raise the other three thousand dollars, though? |
38969 | How can I do that? |
38969 | How did you come here? |
38969 | How did you come to pick it out, Glen? |
38969 | How do you know that? |
38969 | How do you know? |
38969 | How is that arm of yours this morning? |
38969 | How is that? |
38969 | How soon can you reach him? |
38969 | How soon do you want it? |
38969 | I say, who put that there? |
38969 | I suppose it tickled you nearly to death to see me kicked out of the restaurant back yonder, hey? |
38969 | I suppose within an hour, two hours, you could get those melters so hot they are red all through? |
38969 | I suppose you know what an O. S. report is? |
38969 | I''m glad to see you, Zeph-- why, what''s the matter? |
38969 | I''m out, ai n''t I? |
38969 | If I vas''nt, vould I be Chonny- on- de- spot, Mishter Fry? |
38969 | If you start at eleven o''clock you''ll be ready when that gang arrives? |
38969 | In other words,said Ralph, trying hard to suppress his feelings,"you want to blackmail me?" |
38969 | In what way? |
38969 | Ipse dixit de profundis-- you refuse to pay this just claim? |
38969 | Is it worth the price? |
38969 | Is n''t that suspicious-- so many new men lately? |
38969 | Is that so? |
38969 | Is there a probability that I will be? |
38969 | It is, so far as we are concerned, but shall I advise Fairbanks of the arrangements? |
38969 | It''s somewhere in this direction, is n''t it? |
38969 | Kingston, the contractor? 38969 Let me look at that last flimsy, will you?" |
38969 | Let me lurk around a bit, will you? |
38969 | Look here, Roberts,said the young railroader eagerly,"you think I understand my business?" |
38969 | Many down there? |
38969 | Mentions me? |
38969 | My man,spoke Ralph rapidly, and moved to indignation and excitement almost beyond control,"are you sure of what you say?" |
38969 | Near Eagle Pass, you mean? |
38969 | No extras on hand? |
38969 | No, but the feeders and cut- ins? 38969 None at all, only I wonder why?" |
38969 | Not even--"The department store episode? 38969 Nothing open north?" |
38969 | Officially, eh? |
38969 | Oh, I overheard the subject of your conversation,said Adair--"about that missing boy, Glen Palmer, I suppose you mean?" |
38969 | Oh, did he, indeed? |
38969 | Oh, that''s it? |
38969 | Oh, that? |
38969 | Oh, wo n''t you? |
38969 | Oh, you do? |
38969 | Oh, you do? |
38969 | On business, I suppose? |
38969 | One of the same gang, eh? 38969 Our machine balked this morning when she took the turntable, did n''t she?" |
38969 | Perfectly,assented Ralph--"you are afraid of some trickery on the part of our rivals?" |
38969 | Red? |
38969 | Representative, hey? |
38969 | Right away? |
38969 | Say, ca n''t you come down and see my layout? |
38969 | Say, did you ever see so many at one time? 38969 Say, those fellows will never guess what they''ve missed till it''s too late, hey?" |
38969 | Say, who are they, anyway? |
38969 | Schickens? |
38969 | See here, Grizzly,pleaded Mason in a spasmodic outburst of agitation;"what''s the deal?" |
38969 | See here, Mason; you know those wires overhead, I''m thinking? |
38969 | See here,he asked in a low tone,"you''re on Glidden''s side, of course?" |
38969 | See what? |
38969 | She''s only an old tub,submitted Roberts, though fondly;"but how do you like her, anyway?" |
38969 | So? |
38969 | Spies? |
38969 | Suppose so? |
38969 | Suppose your arm gave out at a critical moment of your run? |
38969 | Suppose-- suppose we''re found out? |
38969 | Sure the leave of absence is all right? |
38969 | Sure, that''s me,answered the man--"what doing?" |
38969 | Sure-- want to wire? |
38969 | That so? |
38969 | That so? |
38969 | That you, Fairbanks? |
38969 | That''s the way you treat an old friend after getting all you can out of him, is it? |
38969 | Then I suppose you take possession? |
38969 | Then it''s a race, is it? |
38969 | Then you think you''re not being watched? |
38969 | Think so? |
38969 | Think so? |
38969 | Thinking of starting a railroad of your own, Slump? |
38969 | Thirteen blew out a cylinder head as we passed her--13, an unlucky number, see? |
38969 | This is the old Eagle Pass cut off, is n''t it? |
38969 | This is up: What kind of a man is your engineer, Bartley? |
38969 | To what? |
38969 | Too late for what? |
38969 | Two hours? |
38969 | Valuable? |
38969 | Vill dere haf to be an appraisal, my tear friend? |
38969 | We get out, is n''t that all? 38969 We? |
38969 | Well that does n''t matter so long as you come out of it all right, eh, Glen? |
38969 | Well, what do you want? |
38969 | Well, what is it? |
38969 | Well, what of it? |
38969 | Well? |
38969 | Well? |
38969 | What are they, then? |
38969 | What are we going to do? |
38969 | What are you going to do? |
38969 | What are you staring at, Fairbanks? |
38969 | What boy? |
38969 | What brought up the confab with the old man at the terminus, anyway? |
38969 | What could it blow off from? |
38969 | What did I tell you? |
38969 | What did Zeph say about Mr. Adair, mother? |
38969 | What did you come here for? |
38969 | What did? |
38969 | What do you mean by that? |
38969 | What do you mean, Lacey? |
38969 | What do you say about my plan? |
38969 | What do you suppose I care about your knowing him? |
38969 | What do you think of it? |
38969 | What doing, mister? |
38969 | What factory? |
38969 | What for? |
38969 | What for? |
38969 | What for? |
38969 | What good will it do you to know? |
38969 | What had the robbers done with the bank bullion? |
38969 | What is it? |
38969 | What is it? |
38969 | What is it? |
38969 | What is that? |
38969 | What is that? |
38969 | What kind of trouble? |
38969 | What now? |
38969 | What of Grizzly and that fellow with him? |
38969 | What possible object could any one have in view in smashing up that machinery? |
38969 | What stand-- was there a stand, then? |
38969 | What was for me? |
38969 | What was it? |
38969 | What was that? |
38969 | What was the motive for the collision? |
38969 | What will I eat? |
38969 | What''s hitting you so glum, Fairbanks? |
38969 | What''s special to- night? |
38969 | What''s that room for? |
38969 | What''s the cross orders from our friends? |
38969 | What''s the matter with you? 38969 What''s the matter with you?" |
38969 | What''s the matter, Glen? |
38969 | What''s the matter? |
38969 | What''s the programme? |
38969 | What''s this? 38969 What''s up, Fairbanks?" |
38969 | What''s up-- something? |
38969 | What''s your name? |
38969 | What, Ralph? |
38969 | What, then? |
38969 | When will Evers be here? |
38969 | When, where? |
38969 | Where now? |
38969 | Where''s she to run to? |
38969 | Where''s the proof of it? 38969 Which one?" |
38969 | Who are you? |
38969 | Who did? |
38969 | Who is he? |
38969 | Who to, Ralph? |
38969 | Who was that, mother? |
38969 | Who''s there? |
38969 | Who-- Glen Palmer? |
38969 | Why did n''t you come up to the house? |
38969 | Why do you say that? |
38969 | Why not? |
38969 | Why not? |
38969 | Why not? |
38969 | Why should it? |
38969 | Why, I thought you was with a construction gang? |
38969 | Will it ever be finished? |
38969 | Will it have anything to do with knocking out Dorsett''s plans? |
38969 | With your folks? |
38969 | Wo n''t bid, eh? |
38969 | Wo n''t, eh? 38969 Wonder what''s up with him?" |
38969 | You are going up to the train dispatcher''s office? |
38969 | You do n''t know the point of sending, then? |
38969 | You do n''t mean--"Promotion? 38969 You do n''t need a special?" |
38969 | You do n''t say so? |
38969 | You have a telephone at your house? |
38969 | You have seen him? |
38969 | You know that web of old abandoned sidings and spurs branching out the other side of Maddox? |
38969 | You mean Dorsett''s friends? |
38969 | You mean seize on the factory, do n''t you? |
38969 | You mean the men who stole the pay car? |
38969 | You say the boy, too, is an expert operator? |
38969 | You say the lawyer knows you? |
38969 | You see those big tanks? |
38969 | You think that, do you? |
38969 | You''re Fairbanks? |
38969 | You''re going to come across me once in a while, and I want a pleasant understanding, see? 38969 Young man,"he said,"did you ever study law?" |
38969 | Your name Bartley? |
38969 | Zeph,spoke Ralph in a quick whisper,"you know who it is?" |
38969 | Adair?" |
38969 | Adair?" |
38969 | Adair?" |
38969 | Adair?" |
38969 | And we get out with good friends to take care of us, do n''t we?" |
38969 | Bartlett?" |
38969 | But de boxes, Mishter Fry-- vot''s in dose boxes?" |
38969 | CHAPTER XI MAKING A SCHEDULE"You understand me, Fairbanks?" |
38969 | CHAPTER XV CHASING A RUNAWAY"What''s the programme?" |
38969 | CHAPTER XX A TRUSTY FRIEND"Understand, Fairbanks?" |
38969 | CHAPTER XXXII CONCLUSION"What are you doing here, Fairbanks?" |
38969 | Chief, where are you going to put Fairbanks next?" |
38969 | Come, Cohen, how much for the lot?" |
38969 | Dallas,''our old friend Zeph, eh? |
38969 | Did some fine play send that chicken car down into the ditch, say?" |
38969 | Did you hear that yell?" |
38969 | Do n''t want to reform him, eh? |
38969 | Do you know Ike Slump?" |
38969 | Fairbanks?" |
38969 | Fogg?" |
38969 | Fogg?" |
38969 | Fogg?" |
38969 | Found out something?" |
38969 | Fry?" |
38969 | Glance over that, will you?" |
38969 | Glidden?" |
38969 | Glidden?" |
38969 | Glidden?" |
38969 | Glidden?" |
38969 | Got your tools with you?" |
38969 | HONEY BUNCH: HER FIRST DAYS ON THE FARM Can you remember how the farm looked the first time you visited it? |
38969 | Had the car broken loose? |
38969 | Have n''t you got any nerve? |
38969 | He called out:"What is it, mother?" |
38969 | He did not open the door, but stood at a window and called out:"What do you want?" |
38969 | He glanced sharply at Bates with the words:"What''s up, kid? |
38969 | Here, you, constable-- what''s your authority?" |
38969 | How big the cows and horses were, and what a roomy place to play in the barn proved to be? |
38969 | How is it?" |
38969 | How''s this, Dorsett?" |
38969 | I did n''t know what the other end was trying to give me: Look out for the packer? |
38969 | I said there was a thousand apiece in this, did n''t I?" |
38969 | I say, where did you get him?" |
38969 | I''m after the real velvet now, and I''m going to get it, see? |
38969 | If you did-- red hot, see?" |
38969 | Is it in operation?" |
38969 | Is that part of some villanious programme? |
38969 | Is that right, operator?" |
38969 | It will pay you-- see?" |
38969 | Just wake up once after you''ve left the key, and get thinking you''ve forgotten something, and-- nightmare? |
38969 | Know him pretty well?" |
38969 | Little?" |
38969 | Little?" |
38969 | Looking for a job?" |
38969 | Nearly all the trouble has been east of that point-- you understand?" |
38969 | Pass them on one track, I suppose?" |
38969 | Say, how much do you know and how many have you told about it?" |
38969 | Say, you''ve managed to climb up some while I''ve been locked up, have n''t you?" |
38969 | Say,"demanded the fellow with a stare of interest at Ralph,"what you going there for? |
38969 | Seen a ghost? |
38969 | So I bungled? |
38969 | So much on account, see? |
38969 | Theories? |
38969 | There they are, badly shaken up but they look meaty, do n''t they? |
38969 | Think it over, see? |
38969 | Was n''t it a jumble?" |
38969 | Well, what later?" |
38969 | What do you say, Fairbanks?" |
38969 | What does this all mean?" |
38969 | What had been the writing complete, and what did it mean? |
38969 | What is it you want to know, guv''nor?" |
38969 | What is your report, Adair?" |
38969 | What''s the ticket?" |
38969 | What''s this mysterious monogram, cryptogram, or whatever it is, way down in the corner of the card?" |
38969 | What''s up?" |
38969 | When Glidden came on duty he merely smiled in his grim way, with the words to Ralph:"In harness again, eh? |
38969 | Where do they ever come from?" |
38969 | Where does Bartley come in?" |
38969 | Where? |
38969 | Who are you, and what do you want?" |
38969 | Who are you? |
38969 | Whom did those features suggest? |
38969 | Why do n''t they send me 30? |
38969 | Why had he flushed up and acted embarrassed when Ralph had asked him several pointed questions? |
38969 | Why was he wandering all about the country with a helpless old man? |
38969 | With a smirk he inquired:"See them?" |
38969 | Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book? |
38969 | Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author? |
38969 | You are interested, are n''t you, mightily? |
38969 | You''ll run her?" |
38969 | You''re Fairbanks, eh? |
38969 | asked Ralph,"the nickel?" |
38969 | exclaimed the fireman, stepping up into the cab--"who are you?" |
38969 | faker, pacer?" |
38969 | he said breathlessly--"do you mean it?" |
38969 | he shouted,"what have we struck?" |
38969 | what have we run into, anyway?" |
38969 | what''s coming?" |
38969 | who is it?" |
55624 | ''But the brigands, monseigneur?'' 55624 ''Cause why?" |
55624 | ''Is that all?'' 55624 ''Well, did ye do it?'' |
55624 | ''Why, what''s the matter, Dan?'' 55624 A bank? |
55624 | A better way? |
55624 | A snake? 55624 A torpedo?" |
55624 | About what business? |
55624 | Ai n''t there nobody with''em? |
55624 | Allan West? |
55624 | Always wanted to know me? |
55624 | Am I hurt? |
55624 | An''do ye call one o''clock in th''mornin''a little late? |
55624 | An''got hurted? |
55624 | An''how is the kid? |
55624 | An''you did n''t git no order fer th''special to meet us here? |
55624 | And if it''s straight, you''ll let me go? |
55624 | And it is now? |
55624 | And what happened during the strike? |
55624 | And where are they? |
55624 | And where did_ it_ come from? |
55624 | And who may Nevins be? |
55624 | And who''s this? |
55624 | And whoever it was,added the trainmaster,"why does n''t he come and tell about it? |
55624 | And you agreed to help? 55624 And you were going to fight about a little thing like that, Bill?" |
55624 | And you''re going to walk? |
55624 | And you''re sure th''boy''s comin''along all right? |
55624 | And-- and you''re goin''t''leave me here? |
55624 | Any orders? |
55624 | Any orders? |
55624 | Are n''t you going to read it? |
55624 | Are they so bad as all that? |
55624 | Are you as spry as all this? 55624 Are you first ninety- seven?" |
55624 | Are you sure o''that? |
55624 | Are you sure? |
55624 | Banged you on th''nose, did they? 55624 But how can they ever catch them?" |
55624 | But how did he get out? |
55624 | But how did you come to do that? |
55624 | But how does it come you were n''t killed? |
55624 | But then-- why were n''t we smashed to kindling wood? |
55624 | But what has he done? |
55624 | But what was your driver doin''all that time? |
55624 | Can you handle him yourself? |
55624 | Can you tell me when the next train for Wadsworth leaves? |
55624 | D''you think I do n''t know my business? |
55624 | Danger? |
55624 | Did Nevins say anything about this train when you came on duty? |
55624 | Did n''t ye know that? 55624 Did ye see this?" |
55624 | Did you find out who the stranger was? |
55624 | Did you notice the signal? |
55624 | Did you see anything? |
55624 | Do ye know him? |
55624 | Do ye think fer a minute,cried Jack, fiercely,"I''d take one penny o''that reward? |
55624 | Do ye wonder your child''s forrerd when her father sets her sich an example? 55624 Do you know how much another track would cost?" |
55624 | Do you know the number of that outside wire on the lower cross- arm? |
55624 | Do you suppose there''s a man on this road who has n''t heard of your exploits? 55624 Do you think I''d better?" |
55624 | Do you think it''s safe? |
55624 | Does anything ever happen to it in the night? |
55624 | Ever had any there? |
55624 | Ever hear th''story of th''turtle an''th''rabbit? |
55624 | Found any trace of Nolan? |
55624 | Getting ready for the strike? |
55624 | Going to study it? |
55624 | Good- bye? |
55624 | Got a hole in the fire- box? |
55624 | Had a hard day? |
55624 | Had n''t I better wire your father,he asked,"that you are here and will be home on Number Thirteen this evening?" |
55624 | Has n''t first ninety- seven reached Byers? |
55624 | Have ye been fightin''? |
55624 | Have you asked him anything about it? |
55624 | Have you ever read it? |
55624 | He told ye that, did he? 55624 Hello,"said a voice just behind him,"what''s all this about?" |
55624 | Hello; what''s this? |
55624 | Hospital? |
55624 | Hot biscuits? |
55624 | Hot work, is n''t it? |
55624 | How about the other one? |
55624 | How are ye, Allan? |
55624 | How are you? |
55624 | How could that be? |
55624 | How did you get mixed up with such a scoundrel? |
55624 | How did you happen to come to Byers? |
55624 | How do you know we are? |
55624 | How does it come it took you nearly an hour to make eight miles? |
55624 | How does it happen,he demanded at last,"that he wants t''learn t''be a operator?" |
55624 | How else could it have happened? |
55624 | How else? 55624 How far is it?" |
55624 | How is everything on Twenty- one? |
55624 | How many hosses kin we hev? |
55624 | How much did you say there is? |
55624 | How''d you know where I was? |
55624 | How''d you manage about the operator? |
55624 | How''m I a- goin''t''git th''coal int''th''fire- box if I do n''t open th''door? |
55624 | Hurt any place else? |
55624 | I can read, ca n''t I? |
55624 | I thought you had a trick in the dispatchers''office? |
55624 | I wonder if he thinks now I was trying to scare him? |
55624 | I''ve a good notion to--"What was he doin''? |
55624 | In the baggage- car? |
55624 | Is he here? |
55624 | Is he worse? 55624 Is he?" |
55624 | Is it really you, Welsh? |
55624 | Is it time to get up? |
55624 | Is it? |
55624 | Is n''t there a bank at Coalville? |
55624 | Is n''t there some danger? |
55624 | Is that th''kid that Jack Welsh took t''raise? |
55624 | Is there anything in this, or is it just moonshine? |
55624 | Is_ that_ all? |
55624 | It sounds easy, does n''t it? |
55624 | It was you who flagged Number Two last night? |
55624 | It''s not in a bank? |
55624 | It_ did_ show a clear track, did it? |
55624 | Kin you ride? |
55624 | Kin you stand up? |
55624 | Lost your nerve, hey? |
55624 | My card? |
55624 | No trace o''them yet? |
55624 | No; who is he? |
55624 | No; why? |
55624 | Not dead, eh? |
55624 | Not fired, sir? |
55624 | Nothing very bad, I hope? |
55624 | Oh, then I may stay here? |
55624 | Oh, you mean he''s been parolled? |
55624 | One of you men hold these horses, will you? |
55624 | Orders from whom? |
55624 | Owe us? 55624 Read it? |
55624 | Remarkable, ai n''t it, how much these green firemen know? |
55624 | Rob? |
55624 | Safe? 55624 Say, Jim,"said the engineer to the brakeman,"take that scoop away from that idiot, will ye? |
55624 | Say,he asked, at last,"what''re you fellers up to, anyway? |
55624 | See anything of''em? |
55624 | See here, Welsh,he said,"you''re not drunk?" |
55624 | Shall I send the message? |
55624 | So far as you know? |
55624 | So that''s it? 55624 So ye thought ye''d git away, did ye?" |
55624 | So ye''ve got a new job? |
55624 | So you''re Jim Anderson? |
55624 | So you''re that kind, are you? |
55624 | Somebody buried back there, an''you''re tryin''to dig him out? |
55624 | Supper? 55624 Sure you kin stand it?" |
55624 | Sure? 55624 That you, Allan?" |
55624 | The old bishop, for instance, Bishop Welcome-- may I read you something? |
55624 | Then what did they do with it? |
55624 | Then you''d advise me to go? |
55624 | Then you''ll be gone a long time? |
55624 | There''s only one thing for me to do, is n''t there? |
55624 | Think he''s very bad, doctor? |
55624 | Think of it? 55624 Thought they had Jed Hopkins, did they? |
55624 | To see me? |
55624 | Trouble? |
55624 | Understand? |
55624 | Was it the company''s wagon? |
55624 | Was that all he said? |
55624 | We''d better have that down, had n''t we? |
55624 | Well, an''how d''you like your new job? |
55624 | Well, and where are the convicts? |
55624 | Well, it''s about time for spring house- cleaning, you know-- do men ever have spring house- cleaning? |
55624 | Well, then, jest as I jammed th''torpedy on th''track--"Was it_ you_ put it on the track? |
55624 | Well, what of it? 55624 Well,"asked Jim, when Allan had finished,"what do you think of it?" |
55624 | Well,began Jack,"jest as th''torpedy went off--""Which torpedo?" |
55624 | Well,he sneered,"how d''ye like it?" |
55624 | Well? |
55624 | Were any of them hurt? |
55624 | Were you scared? |
55624 | Wha- what do you mean? |
55624 | What are you going to do now? |
55624 | What are you going to do? |
55624 | What are you,he demanded,"a witch? |
55624 | What d''ye want t''scare a feller like that fer? |
55624 | What did he say? |
55624 | What do I keer fer a silk dress? |
55624 | What do you mean by elephant? |
55624 | What do you mean, you young fool? |
55624 | What does that mean? |
55624 | What for? |
55624 | What for? |
55624 | What is it? 55624 What is it?" |
55624 | What is it? |
55624 | What is it? |
55624 | What is it? |
55624 | What is it? |
55624 | What is? |
55624 | What return do we get from the D. W.& I. for the use of our track? |
55624 | What shall they do? |
55624 | What th''blazes are ye in such a hurry about? 55624 What time did the special pass?" |
55624 | What train''s that? |
55624 | What was he doing? |
55624 | What you stoppin''out here for, Bill? 55624 What you talkin''about, anyway?" |
55624 | What''d they do to you? |
55624 | What''d ye say th''other kid''s name is? |
55624 | What''re you goin''to do with this? |
55624 | What''s Nolan been doin''now? |
55624 | What''s th''matter with him? |
55624 | What''s th''matter? |
55624 | What''s that you''ve got on th''stove? 55624 What''s the joke?" |
55624 | What''s the kid done? |
55624 | What''s the matter-- been out all night? |
55624 | What''s the matter? |
55624 | What''s the matter? |
55624 | What''s the matter? |
55624 | What''s the trouble? |
55624 | What''s up, Bill? |
55624 | What''s up? |
55624 | When did you realize that something was wrong? |
55624 | When must I quit? |
55624 | When will you be ready to go to work? |
55624 | When you found you had run over your time,he demanded,"how does it come you proceeded without a flag?" |
55624 | When''ll you go? |
55624 | Where have you been-- asleep? |
55624 | Where what? |
55624 | Where''d all this gore come from? |
55624 | Where''re you stoppin''? |
55624 | Where''s that kid? |
55624 | Which job? |
55624 | Who is he? |
55624 | Who is it? |
55624 | Who is this? |
55624 | Who was he, Jack? |
55624 | Who''d be sendin''me a registered letter? |
55624 | Who''s going out? |
55624 | Who''s going to help me get my lessons, I''d like to know? |
55624 | Whose horse was it? |
55624 | Whose is it? |
55624 | Why ca n''t I go? |
55624 | Why did n''t he give the alarm? 55624 Why do n''t they borrow the money and build their own track?" |
55624 | Why do n''t they pay by check? |
55624 | Why it_ did n''t_ happen? |
55624 | Why not? |
55624 | Why, hello, Dannie,he cried, with a sort of unholy glee which frightened Dan more than any threats could have done,"how are ye?" |
55624 | Why, how do you know who my father is? |
55624 | Why, what is it, Mary? |
55624 | Why, what''s th''matter with her? |
55624 | Will you? |
55624 | Wo n''t you come in and see my mother? |
55624 | Wo n''t you come in? |
55624 | Would n''t you like to do a thing like that? |
55624 | Would you really have reported him? |
55624 | Ye do n''t happen t''have a bath- tub handy, do ye, Allan? |
55624 | Ye do n''t know him, hey? |
55624 | Yes, yer card; how did ye expect t''ride-- pay yer way? |
55624 | Yes-- fifteen--"Can you cut it in? |
55624 | Yes-- what''s the matter? |
55624 | Yes; and what else? |
55624 | Yes; what''s that mean? |
55624 | Yes? |
55624 | You ai n''t th''reg''lar night man here? |
55624 | You did n''t hear any struggle? |
55624 | You have n''t heard anything from Nolan? |
55624 | You heard? |
55624 | You infernal galoot,went on Jed, excitedly,"did you suppose fer a minute I''d take that money? |
55624 | You knew that Penlow is going to resign on the first? |
55624 | You mean he had a hold of some kind upon you? |
55624 | You mean the telegraph? |
55624 | You mean you think Nevins left the order on the hook and that you overlooked it? |
55624 | You say th''boy''s all right? |
55624 | You were left, then? |
55624 | You''re sure there was no such order? |
55624 | You-- you ai n''t goin''to hang me? |
55624 | Your man? |
55624 | _ Made_ you? |
55624 | ''Are you sick?'' |
55624 | ''How about th''freight?'' |
55624 | 618?" |
55624 | Above all, what did they intend to do with him? |
55624 | Ai n''t you afraid your mamma''s worryin''about you?" |
55624 | Ai n''t you glad?" |
55624 | All ready?" |
55624 | An''was ye fool enough t''set there with your mouth open an''gulp it all down? |
55624 | And where did the torpedo come from? |
55624 | And yet, how was he to tell when he had reached the spot to which he had been lowered? |
55624 | Besides, what can he tell?" |
55624 | Break it?" |
55624 | But are n''t_ you_ hurt? |
55624 | But how about the people in the special?" |
55624 | But how did ye happen t''git home so early?" |
55624 | But why? |
55624 | CHAPTER XX WHAT DELAYED EXTRA WEST"Well, how''re ye goin''t''like it?" |
55624 | Could it, indeed, be Nolan? |
55624 | Did it drop from heaven at precisely the right instant? |
55624 | Did it just happen to be there? |
55624 | Did n''t I send ye word by Dan Breen that I''d be a little late?" |
55624 | Did they git him, too?" |
55624 | Do n''t you see it?" |
55624 | Do n''t you?" |
55624 | Do ye see that wire up there-- th''outside wire on th''lowest cross- arm?" |
55624 | Do you jest wave your wand an''make things happen?" |
55624 | Do you know it?" |
55624 | Do you know what it is?" |
55624 | Do you know who th''pore feller is?" |
55624 | Do you suppose he will let us?" |
55624 | Have you got an instrument?" |
55624 | How could he make the engineer see him through that driving snow? |
55624 | How do you like it?" |
55624 | How had they come here? |
55624 | How had they come to forgive him the one offence which criminals never forgive? |
55624 | How had they found him? |
55624 | How is th''boy?" |
55624 | How much do I owe you?" |
55624 | How was he to know? |
55624 | How was the boy to flag the train? |
55624 | How''d he git his ribs broke?" |
55624 | I knew it would be here in a few minutes, and as I had no order for it--""You''re sure there_ was_ no order for it?" |
55624 | I wonder where that fool Charlie''s gone?" |
55624 | If she had been a vision in her gray travelling- suit, what was she now, clad, as it seemed to him, in a sparkling cloud of purest white? |
55624 | Is it very far?" |
55624 | Is my supper ready?" |
55624 | Is n''t there an extra west about due here?" |
55624 | Is there a hospital at Coalville?" |
55624 | Look about the same, do n''t I?" |
55624 | Mebbe you''ve heerd o''me?" |
55624 | Might he not go past it? |
55624 | Now how do you suppose he got here?" |
55624 | Now, who was it?" |
55624 | O''course you''ll stay t''supper?" |
55624 | Ready?" |
55624 | See?" |
55624 | So you''re ready to report for duty, are you?" |
55624 | Suppose they should look for him, and finding him gone, give him up for lost? |
55624 | Th''only question is,"he added, with another glance at his gauge,"kin we git to Little Hocking?" |
55624 | Th''question is, are they here yet?" |
55624 | Think we''ll be to Athens by then?" |
55624 | This is the station, is n''t it?" |
55624 | Tryin''t''create a water famine?" |
55624 | Understand?" |
55624 | Was he hanging about the place for some sinister purpose? |
55624 | Was he pardoned?" |
55624 | Was he within call of his instrument? |
55624 | What did you do with it?" |
55624 | What do I care fer th''rules? |
55624 | What had happened? |
55624 | What makes you think it''s th''chest?" |
55624 | What was it had turned aside their anger and persuaded them to admit again to their company a man who had been proved a traitor? |
55624 | What was it you seen, Jim? |
55624 | What was the trouble? |
55624 | What was to keep the special from dashing itself to pieces against the freight?" |
55624 | What would become of them if he''d lose his job? |
55624 | What would they say if I did not go?'' |
55624 | What would they say to a bishop who was afraid? |
55624 | What''d you think we''d steam on-- air?" |
55624 | What''s th''use o''being honest, anyway, if that''s all they do to a dirty scoundrel like Dan Nolan? |
55624 | What''s that I smell?" |
55624 | What''s that book you''re hugging so lovingly?" |
55624 | What''s that?" |
55624 | What''s the matter?" |
55624 | What''s yer name, sonny?" |
55624 | Where do you live? |
55624 | Where do you live?" |
55624 | Where you going?" |
55624 | Where''re they billed to?" |
55624 | Where''s it from?" |
55624 | Where''ve ye been, Jack Welsh?" |
55624 | Who are you going to appoint in his place?" |
55624 | Who else could it''a''been?" |
55624 | Who gave the orders?" |
55624 | Who knows the ways of Providence?'' |
55624 | Who was it?" |
55624 | Who''s the best man in your gang?" |
55624 | Who''s the night operator here now?" |
55624 | Whose eye?" |
55624 | Why ca n''t we rig up a line from your house to mine, and learn together? |
55624 | Will he git well?" |
55624 | Wo n''t you sit down here by me awhile?" |
55624 | Would Jim hear? |
55624 | Would he reach it in time? |
55624 | Would y''like some?" |
55624 | Ye did n''t happen t''know any of''em, did ye?" |
55624 | Ye mane breakfast, do n''t ye?" |
55624 | You do n''t remember Dan Maroney? |
55624 | You know who he is, do n''t you?" |
55624 | You say it went through his hand?" |
55624 | [ Illustration:"SNATCHED UP THE FUSEE, AND FAIRLY HURLED HIMSELF DOWN THE TRACK"]"What''s all this?" |
55624 | demanded the engineer, incredulously,"do you mean to say th''dispatcher did n''t cover us?" |
55624 | he snorted, turning an irate face upon the unfortunate fireman,"did n''t you know enough t''see that th''tank was full afore we left Belpre? |
33399 | About changing his mind? 33399 About the day? |
33399 | Ah;--he lost his hold upon the hopeful alternative and made no sign--"nothing less?" |
33399 | All right; give her this, will you? 33399 And get myself disliked? |
33399 | And go away by ourselves with the spoils? |
33399 | And she took your part and invited you to dinner, did she? 33399 And that it will go to certain charitable institutions, and so be lost, not only to you, but to the family?" |
33399 | And yet it does n''t make you misanthropic? 33399 And you consented to do it, I presume?" |
33399 | And you know that if the marriage fail by your act, you will lose this legacy? |
33399 | And you told him no? |
33399 | And you will give up all that you have had-- all that you could keep-- and go out into the world with him to take up life at its beginnings? |
33399 | Are we really running along on the rails just like any well- behaved train? 33399 Are you sure it''s the President?" |
33399 | Are you sure? 33399 Been having a tilt with Mr. Ticket- limits to begin the day with?" |
33399 | Besides, it''s very comfortable in here; do n''t you think so? |
33399 | But if you knew she did? |
33399 | But what do you imagine? |
33399 | But why? 33399 But you will not let him make you recant?" |
33399 | Ca n''t have stop- overs? |
33399 | Ca n''t we divide with them? |
33399 | Ca n''t we escape it? |
33399 | Ca n''t you reconsider and leave Denver to- morrow morning, as previously arranged? 33399 Ca n''t you see? |
33399 | Ca n''t you? 33399 Can we get it repaired this side of Denver?" |
33399 | Can you catch that train at Beaver Brook? |
33399 | Can you? 33399 Comfortable? |
33399 | Could you? |
33399 | Did anyone show you''The Mule''when you were up here last year? |
33399 | Did he? |
33399 | Did n''t I say it? |
33399 | Did n''t it strike you as being rather-- ah-- a girlish thing for you to do? 33399 Did n''t you see me when I got on?" |
33399 | Did n''t you think we were all going to be killed? |
33399 | Did you rest well after your spin on the engine last night? |
33399 | Did you think I had deserted you? |
33399 | Do we live or die? |
33399 | Do you happen to know this gentleman? |
33399 | Do you have to travel all the time? |
33399 | Do you know the Vennors? 33399 Do you know them all by name?" |
33399 | Do you know where he is now? |
33399 | Do you mean that? |
33399 | Do you mean-- would you trust me to take you on the engine to- night? |
33399 | Do you often have such deliciously irresponsible people to convoy? |
33399 | Do you think he did that? |
33399 | Do you think so? 33399 Do you? |
33399 | Do you? 33399 Do? |
33399 | Does the compact mean that we are to have no secrets from each other? |
33399 | Does your-- does the young man know it? |
33399 | Draws the money- line sharp and clear, does he? |
33399 | Find him a bit trying, do n''t you? 33399 For all concerned? |
33399 | For instance? |
33399 | For obvious reasons; are n''t we supposed to be as good as engaged? |
33399 | Forgive you for daring to make me happy? 33399 Friends of ours?" |
33399 | Go away? 33399 Goin''to put''em on here and go through the train in uniform?" |
33399 | Going on through with your people, are you? |
33399 | Good- morning, Mr. Frederick; how do you find yourself-- or are n''t you lost? |
33399 | Grand, is n''t it? 33399 H- m; and left you behind?" |
33399 | H- m; and, if I remember correctly, you are an employee of this line? |
33399 | H- m; changed your plans rather suddenly, did n''t you? |
33399 | Had a comfortably good time to- day? |
33399 | Has he? 33399 Have you ever asked her?" |
33399 | Have you had more than enough? |
33399 | Have you read him in the original, Priscilla? |
33399 | Have you seen him this morning? |
33399 | Have you-- will your other engagements let you join us? |
33399 | He did n''t? 33399 Hello, Fred; how are the invalids this morning? |
33399 | Help you carry on a brazen flirtation with that poor, innocent girl? 33399 How can I?" |
33399 | How could I know it? |
33399 | How could you? |
33399 | How did anyone ever get up there to paint it? |
33399 | How did you like the supper at Carvalho? |
33399 | How do you know? |
33399 | How far is it over to those mountains? |
33399 | How fast are we going now? |
33399 | How is that? 33399 How is this?" |
33399 | How long has it been since the railway companies began to put the convenience of their guests before the rights of their patrons, Mr. Brockway? 33399 How much did you really see, and how much did you take for granted?" |
33399 | How poor? |
33399 | How poor? |
33399 | How should I know, when he did n''t tell me? |
33399 | How would you like to go up to Silver Plume with Mr. Brockway''s party? |
33399 | How''s that for a lightning change? |
33399 | How? |
33399 | I do n''t know why you should be? |
33399 | I suppose nothing would ever induce you to forgive her for being rich? |
33399 | I suppose you have been out here in a blizzard, have n''t you? |
33399 | I suppose you''ve ridden on them many times? |
33399 | I suppose your occupation keeps you away from home a great deal, does n''t it? |
33399 | I? 33399 Is he a poor man?" |
33399 | Is it so very dreadful? |
33399 | Is n''t it life- like, though? |
33399 | Is n''t that a very large promise? |
33399 | Is that better? |
33399 | Is there a dining- car on this train? |
33399 | It is Golden-- you remember, do n''t you? |
33399 | It''s a fine night; will you take a turn outside with me, while I smoke? |
33399 | Knew what? |
33399 | Knowing that my consent would be withheld? |
33399 | May I go in and look at it? |
33399 | Meaning that they lose in originality what they gain in sophistication? |
33399 | Might it? 33399 No dinner, you say? |
33399 | No; and it is grand beyond words, is n''t it? 33399 No? |
33399 | No? |
33399 | Not Mr. John Burton, of the Colorado& Utah? |
33399 | Not if you knew she wanted you to? |
33399 | Oh, Mr. Brockway; wo n''t this be a good chance to see if my trunk was put on the train with the others? |
33399 | One of your betters? 33399 Ought n''t I to be jealous?" |
33399 | Please wait till I get washed and dressed before you begin on me, wo n''t you? |
33399 | Precisely; always busy; that is the whole history of civilized man in two words, is n''t it? 33399 Quite; and you?" |
33399 | Say, Fred, is she goin''back? |
33399 | Say; what time did you say that Clear Creek Canyon train leaves? |
33399 | Shall we stop here? |
33399 | Should I turn into a pillar of salt if I did? |
33399 | Show me the''Old Man of the Mountain''when we come to it,she said;"of course, there_ is_ an''Old Man of the Mountain''?" |
33399 | Sorry? 33399 Tell me what?" |
33399 | That is very human, is n''t it? 33399 That''s rather hard on me, is n''t it? |
33399 | The Burtons? 33399 Then there_ is_ something? |
33399 | Then what do you mean? |
33399 | Then you have answered it? 33399 Then you refuse me point blank?" |
33399 | Think he will do it? |
33399 | Think not? |
33399 | Think so? 33399 Thirty days, did you say?" |
33399 | To get him into trouble with the others? 33399 To quiz me? |
33399 | To take the consequences of my impudence? |
33399 | Under the weather this morning, Gertrude? |
33399 | Wait? 33399 We stop here a little while, do n''t we?" |
33399 | Well, Gertrude, did you enjoy your little diversion? 33399 Well, ca n''t you serve us a cold lunch?" |
33399 | Well, then, if you are sure she does n''t misjudge you, what do you care for the opinion of the world at large? |
33399 | Well, what are you going to do about it? |
33399 | Well, what did he say for himself? |
33399 | Well? |
33399 | What President? |
33399 | What are they going to do with our car while we''re gone? |
33399 | What are you doing so far away from your territory, Fred? |
33399 | What are you going to do with yourself to- day? |
33399 | What can I do for you? |
33399 | What difference will that make, so long as you know better? |
33399 | What difference would that make? 33399 What do two people who are trying to be very young and foolish and irresponsible know about secrets?" |
33399 | What do you call a crowd? |
33399 | What do you think of Tourguénief, Cousin Chester? |
33399 | What does that mean? |
33399 | What is its name? 33399 What is that we are coming to, away out there?" |
33399 | What is that, papa; no luncheon to- day? |
33399 | What is there about him that we ought to know and do n''t? |
33399 | What makes you think that? |
33399 | What shall I do next? |
33399 | What time do we reach Denver? |
33399 | What time have you now? |
33399 | What''s that about our tickets? |
33399 | What''s up? 33399 When is it to be?" |
33399 | Where are the others? |
33399 | Where do we get dinner? |
33399 | Where is Gertrude? |
33399 | Who draws it? 33399 Who? |
33399 | Why do n''t you tell him the truth? |
33399 | Why does n''t he smoke his cigar? |
33399 | Why must n''t I? |
33399 | Why not? |
33399 | Why not? |
33399 | Why should you want to see her when there is nothing to be done, as you say? |
33399 | Why? |
33399 | Why? |
33399 | Why? |
33399 | Will you excuse me a minute, while I get off and speak to the agent? |
33399 | Will you go to a hotel? |
33399 | Will you help me if I do? |
33399 | Will you let me be your cup- bearer-- always? |
33399 | Will you take him a message from me, quickly? |
33399 | Will you wear it to- morrow-- before all the others? 33399 Wo n''t you see Mr. Brockway to- night?" |
33399 | Wo n''t you sit down and break bread with us? 33399 Would n''t I? |
33399 | Would n''t that be assuming a great deal? 33399 Would nothing tempt you to go on?" |
33399 | Would you mind telling me in so many words, just what you mean? |
33399 | Yes, but----"But what? |
33399 | Yes, much; but it''s very dreadful, is n''t it? 33399 Yes; do you know him?" |
33399 | Yes; what are they? |
33399 | You are not going to leave us at once, are you? |
33399 | You are quite merciless, are n''t you? 33399 You are quite sure of that?" |
33399 | You are quite sure you can reach Golden before the train gets there, are you? |
33399 | You did n''t permit yourself to fall in love with her until you knew all about her circumstances and prospects, of course? |
33399 | You have n''t? 33399 You know Denver pretty well, do n''t you?" |
33399 | You know it, and yet you would deliberately throw yourself away on a fortune- hunting mechanic-- a man whom you have known only since yesterday? 33399 You mean it''s because I''m here? |
33399 | You mean that I''ve been shirking; that I have n''t been properly reading my lines in the little comedy planned by my grandfather; is that it? |
33399 | You refuse to be bullied, do n''t you? 33399 You sat up for Gertrude last night; did you say as much to her?" |
33399 | You still think it will be better for you to tell him first? 33399 You think he will be very angry, then?" |
33399 | You''ll not disappoint us, will you? |
33399 | You? 33399 You?" |
33399 | You? |
33399 | And Brockway and Gertrude exchanged comforting glances-- as who should say,"What matters it now?" |
33399 | And did the unhappy father contrive to spoil your_ tête- à- tête_?" |
33399 | And if John should happen to balk a little----""Why, I''ll talk him over, of course; is that what you want?" |
33399 | And yet you would consent to take service under me, after what has passed between us? |
33399 | Are they going to demand it as a right?" |
33399 | Are you afraid of the elderly gentleman with the calculating eye?" |
33399 | Are you glad or sorry? |
33399 | Are you good for a climb?" |
33399 | Are you quite comfortable?" |
33399 | Are you quite sure you know what you have done?" |
33399 | Are you still quite comfortable?" |
33399 | Ask Denver to repeat it to Beaver Brook, will you?" |
33399 | Besides, she doubtless looks upon you as a fortune- hunter, and----""What? |
33399 | Brockway?" |
33399 | Burton?" |
33399 | Burton?" |
33399 | Burton?" |
33399 | Burton?" |
33399 | But I think I''d better go back; it''s getting late, is n''t it?" |
33399 | But about Gertrude, and your little affair, which is no affair; what are you going to do about it?" |
33399 | But about Jordan and the thirty- odd; how are you going to dodge the row?" |
33399 | But about the telegram; you are not angry with me because I was desperate enough to answer it without having first shown it to you?" |
33399 | But how did you manage to get Gertrude away from them all?" |
33399 | But how the deuce is a fellow to make love to a girl when his grandfather has done it for him?" |
33399 | But in that case, why had he proposed the trip, knowing that Brockway''s party would be on the train? |
33399 | But where is your good husband?" |
33399 | But_ l''homme propose, et la femme_----"Oh, Mr. Brockway;_ will_ you help me find my satchel? |
33399 | Ca n''t we go out on the platform?" |
33399 | Ca n''t you come along and visit with us in Salt Lake?" |
33399 | Can it be done?" |
33399 | Can you forgive me?" |
33399 | Come, now, had n''t you better retract and go about your business?" |
33399 | Could n''t you rake up the embers and fan them into a tiny bit of a blaze? |
33399 | Did I ah-- understand you to tell me to go away, sir? |
33399 | Did n''t he tell you?" |
33399 | Did n''t you and Chester settle matters between you just before dinner?" |
33399 | Did n''t you know he was in the Naught- fifty?" |
33399 | Did n''t you promise some of them that this particular chariot should be at the tail- end of the trans- continental procession?" |
33399 | Did n''t you read the contract before signing it?" |
33399 | Did the cold- blooded gentleman with the overseeing eyes succeed in overtaking you?" |
33399 | Did you happen to find out whether he is going all the way across with his party?" |
33399 | Did you really go without your supper to take a constitutional with Miss Gertrude? |
33399 | Did you think we ever should?" |
33399 | Do n''t we live in a golden age when Jack is as good as his master, if he choose to make himself so?" |
33399 | Do n''t you understand that nothing can ever come of it?" |
33399 | Do people know about it?" |
33399 | Do they get you up early in the morning to ask you foolish questions?" |
33399 | Do you consider it fair to us, your patrons, to absent yourself for the ah-- better part of the morning? |
33399 | Do you happen to know a Miss Gertrude Vennor? |
33399 | Do you know them?" |
33399 | Do you know why?" |
33399 | Do you love someone else?" |
33399 | Do you mean to ask Miss Vennor to be your wife?" |
33399 | Do you say ah-- wait? |
33399 | Do you see those two little yellow lights away out ahead?" |
33399 | Do you still assert that we shall dine at our own table this evening?" |
33399 | Do you still enjoy it?" |
33399 | Do you think Mr. Burton had a telegram, too?" |
33399 | Do you understand?" |
33399 | Do you understand?" |
33399 | Do you understand?" |
33399 | Does the-- the young woman think as you do?" |
33399 | Get you out bright and early?" |
33399 | Had he gone on with his school- mistresses and ended by marrying one of them? |
33399 | Has he spoken to you about it?" |
33399 | Has this fellow but to crook his finger at you to make you turn your back upon everything that is decent and respectable?" |
33399 | Have a cigar?" |
33399 | Have n''t we made a compact?" |
33399 | Have we doubled it yet?" |
33399 | Have you actually got it repaired?" |
33399 | Have you fully considered the probable consequences of your most singular infatuation?" |
33399 | Have you seen him?" |
33399 | Have you told John about my-- my lunacy?" |
33399 | He will be very angry, wo n''t he?" |
33399 | He''ll be pretty sure to send you a peremptory order to turn back from Forks Creek, wo n''t he?" |
33399 | Hence it was only for form''s sake that she said,"How was I to know that you were only trying to humiliate me?" |
33399 | How did it happen?" |
33399 | How did you find out we were going?" |
33399 | How do you expect to support a wife whose allowance of pin- money has probably exceeded your entire income?" |
33399 | How does the cab compare with the sitting- room of a private car?" |
33399 | How far did you go with them?" |
33399 | How fast are we going now?" |
33399 | How much or how little did he mean when he said he was happy to his finger- tips? |
33399 | How should Fleetwell know that Gertrude would not care to spend the day in his company? |
33399 | How was I to know that you were only trying to humiliate me?" |
33399 | How will that do?" |
33399 | How?" |
33399 | I love him; do you understand what that means?" |
33399 | I presume you wo n''t have time before noon?" |
33399 | I suppose they never let any one ride on the night engines, do they?" |
33399 | I suppose you did n''t know we were going on to- night, either, did you? |
33399 | I suppose you have made them at a pinch, have n''t you? |
33399 | I suppose you''ve heard the latest?" |
33399 | I understand your objection; you are poor and proud-- and that''s as it should be; but tell me-- you are in love with Miss Vennor, are n''t you? |
33399 | I wonder why?" |
33399 | Is it a very bad break?" |
33399 | Is it altogether impossible? |
33399 | Is n''t it clear and pure?" |
33399 | Is n''t it enough to wear the patience of a good- natured angel to frazzles?" |
33399 | Is n''t it terribly dangerous? |
33399 | Is that all?" |
33399 | Is that it?" |
33399 | Is that what you wanted me to say?" |
33399 | Is there any probability that he has carried out his threat of leaving you behind?" |
33399 | Is_ that_ all?" |
33399 | It was awfully good of you to ask me, but----""But what?" |
33399 | Lend me a pair of overalls, and a jumper, and a pair of pipe- tongs, and a hammer, and a few other things, will you?" |
33399 | Maclure?" |
33399 | May I count upon it?" |
33399 | May we ride a little way with you?" |
33399 | Of course, you are aware that the Tadmor is no longer the rear car in the train?" |
33399 | Oh, why did n''t you make it impossible, while you were doing it?" |
33399 | On your way back to Utah, are you?" |
33399 | One o''your tourists broke a side- rod?" |
33399 | Overton? |
33399 | Passenger Agent, are you sure the baggage will be safe if we leave it with the porter?" |
33399 | Reckon you could run a spell and talk to her at the same time?" |
33399 | Shall I call her?" |
33399 | Shall I wire ahead for a private table?" |
33399 | Shall we?" |
33399 | So she said,"When is what to be?" |
33399 | Tell me why you would like to abolish the to- morrows-- or is it only the very next one that ever will be that you want to escape?" |
33399 | Then I am to understand that our movements have nothing to do with your being here now?" |
33399 | Then he said, quite temperately, she thought,"So it is the passenger agent, after all, is it?" |
33399 | Then she arched her eyebrows at her husband and said,"I wonder if Fred is n''t the least little bit_ épris_ with Gertrude Vennor?" |
33399 | Then what happened?" |
33399 | Then with a touch of graver earnestness:"We are properly engaged now, are n''t we?" |
33399 | Then you did n''t admire the President?" |
33399 | Then, suddenly:"That is n''t a scenic fib, is it?" |
33399 | This is Arriba; do you want to go back?" |
33399 | Up early to see the scenery, are you?" |
33399 | Vennor?" |
33399 | We shall see you in the morning?" |
33399 | What about?" |
33399 | What do you think of an irresponsible young person who says such an unfilial thing as that?" |
33399 | What does he mean by running us off up here on a wild- goose chase?" |
33399 | What had become of Mr. Brockway since their"Mormon day"? |
33399 | What has come over you in the last twenty- four hours that you should override the traditions and training of your whole life? |
33399 | What have you been doing?" |
33399 | What is it?" |
33399 | What is the dinner station, and when do we reach it?" |
33399 | What is the matter with you? |
33399 | What is your programme for to- day?" |
33399 | What must I do now?--watch the track?" |
33399 | What particular form does his mania take this morning?" |
33399 | What place is this we are coming to?" |
33399 | What place is this?" |
33399 | What was afoot that the President should be so anxious about the movements of the passenger agent? |
33399 | What''s this place? |
33399 | When anything happens, the men on the engine are almost always killed, are n''t they?" |
33399 | When did it begin?" |
33399 | When shall I come?" |
33399 | Where are your friends?" |
33399 | Where did you get on?" |
33399 | Where ever have you been?" |
33399 | Where have you been all afternoon?" |
33399 | Where have you been all the time?" |
33399 | Where have you been? |
33399 | Why did you burst the pipe?" |
33399 | Why?" |
33399 | Will you agree to that?" |
33399 | Will you climb down from the heights of the sublime and go and eat pie with me?" |
33399 | Will you come?" |
33399 | Will you do it?" |
33399 | Will you do it?" |
33399 | Will you go?" |
33399 | Will you have to give up the Silver Plume trip and stay in Denver with him?" |
33399 | Will you set the day?" |
33399 | Will you wear it for me?" |
33399 | Will you?" |
33399 | Wonder if I can get the switchboard down fine enough to cut them out? |
33399 | Would anything I could give you induce you to go about your business-- to disappear, so to speak?" |
33399 | Would you like to go out for a breath of fresh air?" |
33399 | You are quite willing to begin at the bottom with him, are you?" |
33399 | You did n''t expect to find me here chatting with your wife, did you?" |
33399 | You met my daughter, Gertrude, when we were out last summer, I believe?" |
33399 | You say your friend is on the train?" |
33399 | You wo n''t let it make any difference?" |
33399 | You wo n''t let my money make any difference now, will you?" |
33399 | _ Brockway_, to the porter:"All out, John?" |
33399 | _ Chorus of the Personally Conducted:_"How long did you say we''d have?" |
33399 | _ Do_ have a cup of coffee, wo n''t you?" |
33399 | _ The Elderly Maiden Lady:_"Now, Mr. Brockway, are you_ sure_ it''ll be perfectly safe to leave Dicky with the porter?" |
33399 | _ The Querist_, with his watch( which he has omitted to set back to mountain time) in his hand:"Eight o''clock? |
33399 | and when do we arrive?" |
33399 | and where are you going?" |
33399 | are they going to fight about that?" |
33399 | for yourself and the invalids, you mean?" |
33399 | he began;"did you know Fred had changed his plans?" |
33399 | in the night, you know, and with a comparative stranger?" |
33399 | or did the despatcher tell you?" |
33399 | said the President, with the King George Fourth smile and his coldest stare;"we caught you fairly in the midst of it, did n''t we, Mr. Brockway? |
33399 | she queried;"who are they?" |
33399 | that I''d better not go to him at once?" |
33399 | the thrall or the baron?" |
33399 | what is the matter?" |
33399 | when I did n''t so much as know she was going?" |
33399 | when you had forgotten to point out the real one?" |
33399 | where did you come from? |
28292 | A car of another road? |
28292 | A good opportunity, that, Joe,said Ralph,"although the main prospect you mention is far in the future, is n''t it?" |
28292 | A railroader? |
28292 | A special, eh? |
28292 | About the silk robbery? |
28292 | After a hard double run? |
28292 | After me, are you? 28292 Ah, so it''s you?" |
28292 | All safe? |
28292 | Am I to see him? |
28292 | Am I? |
28292 | And have arranged to stay away from town for several days? |
28292 | And in what capacity will you appear on that grand occasion, Zeph? |
28292 | And the pay car? |
28292 | And what about the coat? |
28292 | And why do you seek him? |
28292 | And you had it all the time? |
28292 | And you, Zeph? |
28292 | Any one here? |
28292 | Anything the matter especially? |
28292 | Are we? |
28292 | Are you going to leave the Junction permanently, Joe? |
28292 | Are you going to set me free? |
28292 | Are you going to stay in Stanley Junction, then? |
28292 | Are you in the service of the railroad? |
28292 | Business good, Joe? |
28292 | But Mr. Drury has done that already, has he not? |
28292 | But what are they doing in those trees? |
28292 | But what of Earl Danvers? |
28292 | But why all this mystery? |
28292 | But you''re going to find out? |
28292 | By whom? |
28292 | Can I help you in any way? |
28292 | Can we reach it without being seen by any one? |
28292 | Can you signal for repeat? |
28292 | Can you suggest anything, Fairbanks? |
28292 | Confidentially? |
28292 | Did he? |
28292 | Did you? 28292 Do n''t I have to?" |
28292 | Do n''t look much like the man who left a palace car to step into a locomotive at Stanley Junction, eh? |
28292 | Do n''t need one-- you know how to run an engine, do n''t you? |
28292 | Do you happen to remember anything of a wreck at the bridge at Wilmer about five years ago? |
28292 | Do you know a Mr. Gasper Farrington? |
28292 | Do you know me? |
28292 | Do you know who it is? |
28292 | Do you own any particular run, Jim? |
28292 | Does that look like business? |
28292 | Does that look like it? |
28292 | Does that startle you? |
28292 | Does the railroad want to take it away from me? |
28292 | Eh, lad, what do you mean? |
28292 | Eh? 28292 Eh? |
28292 | Eh? |
28292 | Eh? |
28292 | Eight boys-- where did they come from? |
28292 | Ever heard of Limpy Joe? |
28292 | Ever taken a meal here? |
28292 | For me? 28292 For the railroad?" |
28292 | Found you, my friends, have I? |
28292 | Give me a lift, will you? 28292 Give us a lift?" |
28292 | Going into Dover? |
28292 | Going to keep right on at your job? |
28292 | Going to stop, are they? |
28292 | Gondola? |
28292 | Got the keys to the car ventilators? |
28292 | He searched for the car, of course? |
28292 | Hear that? |
28292 | Hello,said Zeph, looking in among the bushes abruptly,"some one in there? |
28292 | Hi, who''s that, where are you? |
28292 | How can I help it? |
28292 | How did he happen to come here? |
28292 | How did it happen? |
28292 | How did you know? |
28292 | How do I do-- all right? |
28292 | How do you come to be up in that attic? 28292 How do you know that?" |
28292 | How is that, sir? |
28292 | How is that? |
28292 | How much? |
28292 | How will it do? |
28292 | How wrong? |
28292 | How? |
28292 | I ca n''t deny it very well, can I? |
28292 | I ca n''t help you any-- why should you detain me? |
28292 | I suppose a fellow is free to follow out his convictions, is n''t he? |
28292 | I suppose you are hungry? |
28292 | I wonder what there is in the package? |
28292 | If anybody comes, what then? |
28292 | If you wanted to borrow the rig, why did n''t you do so in a decent fashion? |
28292 | In a way, yes,answered Ralph, and then, a sudden idea struck him, he added:"By the way, you are an old resident here, I suppose?" |
28292 | In what way? |
28292 | Indeed? |
28292 | Indeed? |
28292 | Indeed? |
28292 | Indeed? |
28292 | Interesting to you, is it? |
28292 | Is he an enemy of yours? |
28292 | Is he here? |
28292 | Is it possible,said Ralph to himself,"that I have at last found a clew to the missing car Zeph Dallas and that car finder are so anxious to locate?" |
28292 | Is it possible? |
28292 | Is it some particular case, sir? |
28292 | Is n''t it? 28292 Is n''t that just exactly the place that you want to reach?" |
28292 | Is that so? 28292 Is that so?" |
28292 | Is that so? |
28292 | Is that true? |
28292 | Is that your name? |
28292 | Is your name Fairbanks? |
28292 | Is your name Fairbanks? |
28292 | It''s a strike, is it? |
28292 | It''s fascinating, ai n''t it? |
28292 | Jim Evans? |
28292 | Know a good many people, do you? |
28292 | Know what that means? |
28292 | Limpy Joe-- who is he? 28292 Looking for Forgan?" |
28292 | May I ask its meaning? |
28292 | Mean that? |
28292 | Mother,he asked,"do you know the man to whom you sold that old coat?" |
28292 | Mr. Drury, you mean? |
28292 | Mr. Fairbanks-- Ralph Fairbanks? |
28292 | Name, please? |
28292 | Nor Fairbanks? |
28292 | Now then, what''s the trouble? |
28292 | Now, what am I ever going to do with him? |
28292 | Object? |
28292 | Oh, brought your satchel, too, did you? |
28292 | Oh, going digging for them? |
28292 | Oh, me? |
28292 | Oh, you want me? 28292 On a tramp, are you?" |
28292 | Opening of the other line? |
28292 | Quite an important commission,said Ralph,"but what will the train crew say about it?" |
28292 | Regarding this railroad? |
28292 | Right here? |
28292 | Salary big, Zeph? |
28292 | Say, Mister, you do n''t know where that car went to, do you? |
28292 | Say,spoke the former to his companion,"what''s wrong?" |
28292 | See here, young fellow, do you think it''s square cutting in on a regular man this way? |
28292 | So, it''s you, is it-- you, again? |
28292 | Some kind of a plot, eh, you and your friend? |
28292 | Something new? |
28292 | Steady job? |
28292 | Suppose Ames tells me where to find the fellow who sent the package? |
28292 | That so, lad? |
28292 | That so? 28292 That so?" |
28292 | That so? |
28292 | That so? |
28292 | That so? |
28292 | The new railroad? |
28292 | The papers? |
28292 | Then it is all arranged? |
28292 | Twenty thousand dollars? |
28292 | Understand the code, do you? |
28292 | Valuable freight aboard? |
28292 | Want a partner here, Joe? |
28292 | Want to see me, Fairbanks? |
28292 | Was he away from home? |
28292 | Was there something so valuable in it, then? |
28292 | Was you here last night? |
28292 | Waste my time? 28292 We are not exactly rich, but we are comfortably situated, eh?" |
28292 | Well, Morris,said the former,"all ready, are you? |
28292 | Well, fellows, I am glad to see you,said Ralph heartily,"but what brought you here?" |
28292 | Well, what do you want? |
28292 | What are we going to do about it? |
28292 | What are you ever doing there? 28292 What are you getting at with all this talk, Ike?" |
28292 | What are you going to do with Fairbanks? |
28292 | What are you going to do with the farmer''s boy? |
28292 | What are you leaving here for? |
28292 | What brought you here? |
28292 | What can have befallen him? 28292 What did he hide it there for?" |
28292 | What did he say? |
28292 | What did the boy say? |
28292 | What do they want me to do-- engineer? |
28292 | What do you hope to accomplish by persecuting me? |
28292 | What do you know about the wreck? |
28292 | What do you mean, mother? |
28292 | What do you propose to do? |
28292 | What do you propose to do? |
28292 | What do you see? |
28292 | What do you want to ride around on engines for? |
28292 | What does this mean? |
28292 | What for? |
28292 | What for? |
28292 | What for? |
28292 | What for? |
28292 | What for? |
28292 | What is it then? |
28292 | What is it, doctor? |
28292 | What is that, Ralph? |
28292 | What is that? |
28292 | What is the object of all this? |
28292 | What is the trouble? |
28292 | What is this, I wonder? |
28292 | What is your name? |
28292 | What kind of a job? |
28292 | What kind of property? |
28292 | What man is that? |
28292 | What of it? 28292 What ridiculous nonsense are you talking, Zeph?" |
28292 | What shall I say, then? |
28292 | What trains seem to suffer most? |
28292 | What was he saying? |
28292 | What was it, may I ask? |
28292 | What was it? |
28292 | What you getting at, lad? |
28292 | What you going to do? |
28292 | What you spoiling our fun for? |
28292 | What you trespassing for? |
28292 | What''s it going to be? |
28292 | What''s that kind of a welcome for, eh? |
28292 | What''s that, Fairbanks? |
28292 | What''s that? |
28292 | What''s that? |
28292 | What''s that? |
28292 | What''s that? |
28292 | What''s the damage? |
28292 | What''s the lawyer''s name, Zeph? |
28292 | What''s the programme? |
28292 | What''s the row? |
28292 | What''s the trouble-- a wreck? |
28292 | What''s the trouble? |
28292 | What''s this in his hand? |
28292 | What''s troubling you? |
28292 | What, had you known them before? |
28292 | What? |
28292 | When was this? |
28292 | When? |
28292 | Where can he have disappeared to? |
28292 | Where did you come from? |
28292 | Where have they disappeared to? |
28292 | Where is Stanley Junction? |
28292 | Where is he? |
28292 | Who are you? |
28292 | Who are you? |
28292 | Who by? |
28292 | Who is nearly starved? |
28292 | Who is there? |
28292 | Who says so? |
28292 | Who was that? |
28292 | Who''s in charge here? |
28292 | Who? |
28292 | Whose message? |
28292 | Why have you not asked some of your old comrades to help you? |
28292 | Why not? |
28292 | Why should I? |
28292 | Why so? |
28292 | Why, how are you interested in me? |
28292 | Why, mother,he exclaimed,"where is the farmer boy?" |
28292 | Why, what can this mean? |
28292 | Why, what do you mean? |
28292 | Why, what do you mean? |
28292 | Why, what do you mean? |
28292 | Why, what does all that layout mean? |
28292 | Why, what is the matter, Zeph? |
28292 | Why, what''s that kind of work got to do with railroading? |
28292 | Why, you''ll soon be able to give me a better one, wo n''t you? |
28292 | Why,he said,"then I am not to go on this trip?" |
28292 | Will you make me stop at the tower to get you put off? |
28292 | Will you sign the roll? |
28292 | With Slump and Bemis? |
28292 | With money-- on your promise? 28292 Wo n''t tell anything, eh?" |
28292 | Wo n''t you explain this? |
28292 | Wo n''t you have a cup or a glass, my lads? |
28292 | Wo n''t you wait till I answer? |
28292 | Wonder what? 28292 You are going to leave here, then?" |
28292 | You are sure he did n''t find it later? |
28292 | You came about your nephew, I presume? 28292 You did?" |
28292 | You do n''t know what road it belonged to? |
28292 | You do? 28292 You do?" |
28292 | You got the run? 28292 You have n''t mentioned about my employing you to any one?" |
28292 | You mean Limpy Joe? |
28292 | You mean me? |
28292 | You mean take you up into the woods in the wagon to- night? |
28292 | You mean to- night? |
28292 | You mean, will we undertake the job? |
28292 | You missed a package that had been under the feed bags when you came to leave town? |
28292 | You remember the day I kept your team for you? |
28292 | You think they are going to move some of their plunder in the wagon? |
28292 | You wo n''t have me arrested? |
28292 | You wo n''t help us out, then? |
28292 | You would give a good deal to find Gasper Farrington, would n''t you, now? |
28292 | You''ll remember it and help me out if you can? |
28292 | You''re a fireman, are n''t you? |
28292 | You, lad? |
28292 | Zeph,he said,"did you hear anything of a train robbery here the other night?" |
28292 | Zeph? 28292 48 gets here first? |
28292 | 48?" |
28292 | 9176?" |
28292 | A prisoner? |
28292 | And five years ago? |
28292 | Bemis? |
28292 | But it went somewhere, did n''t it? |
28292 | But what has happened, anyhow? |
28292 | CHAPTER IV AN OLD- TIME ENEMY"New engine, lad?" |
28292 | CHAPTER XXX THE LOST DIAMONDS"Great news, eh?" |
28292 | Ca n''t you think of any spot where they would be likely to hide?" |
28292 | Can I make a safe descent?" |
28292 | Can I make it before these fellows get away with their plunder? |
28292 | Can I reach the rope holding the scow to the shore?" |
28292 | Can you help me get a position in the roundhouse?" |
28292 | Can you locate the spot, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | Could he get free in time? |
28292 | Did you learn what their especial interest was in the coat?" |
28292 | Do you catch on?" |
28292 | Do you know whose child that is?" |
28292 | Do you really for one minute suppose I sympathize with those fellows?" |
28292 | Do you remember when you and Slump were both wipers at the roundhouse?" |
28292 | Do you see ahead there?" |
28292 | Do you want to leave the railroad? |
28292 | Does he run the place alone?" |
28292 | Evans glared at the man who spoke, but recognizing a privileged character, stared down the row of loiterers and demanded:"Who''s got my run?" |
28292 | Every point seems to tally somehow to what information the car finder gave me, do n''t you think so? |
28292 | Fellows, how can we tell Woods?" |
28292 | Fixed this up all alone out of odds and ends? |
28292 | Forgan?" |
28292 | Forgan?" |
28292 | Get the old coat? |
28292 | Going to stop?" |
28292 | Got enough steam on to run the engine?" |
28292 | Got him tied up?" |
28292 | Got the plunder here, have you?" |
28292 | Grant?" |
28292 | Greenleaf?" |
28292 | Greenleaf?" |
28292 | Griscom is ready for the run; are you? |
28292 | Griscom?" |
28292 | Griscom?" |
28292 | Griscom?" |
28292 | Griscom?" |
28292 | Have you a revolver?" |
28292 | He yawned in the face of the speaker and drawled sleepily:"What are you waking a fellow up for?" |
28292 | How did you get in there? |
28292 | How is it, Griscom?" |
28292 | How long have you been there? |
28292 | How near are the people who sent you on my trail?" |
28292 | I am in possession, and what am I going to do about it?" |
28292 | In to report, Sam? |
28292 | Is n''t it just famous? |
28292 | Is that right, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | It''s all right for me to speak out before your friend here?" |
28292 | Just give me a word of direction when I need it, wo n''t you?" |
28292 | Keep a close watch here for a few minutes, will you?" |
28292 | Mother, where is the coat?" |
28292 | Now, this is on the dead quiet, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | Now, young fellow, who are you?" |
28292 | Ralph, this is worth looking up, do n''t you think so?" |
28292 | Ready?" |
28292 | Safe hiding place, eh?" |
28292 | Say, where are you bound for anyway, Ralph?" |
28292 | See here, Fairbanks, have you lost your wits? |
28292 | See that old shed yonder?" |
28292 | See? |
28292 | Slump? |
28292 | Soon a man appeared on the cab step, looked Ralph over coolly, and observed:"Tired of waiting for me, kid?" |
28292 | Then why did n''t you wake me up? |
28292 | They are wanted for that attempted treasure- train robbery, are n''t they?" |
28292 | Tools and wire in that bag?" |
28292 | Trevor?" |
28292 | Trevor?" |
28292 | Trevor?" |
28292 | What are you up to, anyway?" |
28292 | What are you wiring him for?" |
28292 | What can that have to do with this business? |
28292 | What can we do?" |
28292 | What did you bring me here for?" |
28292 | What for funny man run away?" |
28292 | What had I better do-- what can I do?" |
28292 | What is the next station north? |
28292 | What is your idea about these men?" |
28292 | What''s the amazing interest in it all of a sudden? |
28292 | What''s the matter with our holding the boy till they come?" |
28292 | What''s the trouble ahead, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | What''s this?" |
28292 | What''s your plan, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | What-- er-- for?" |
28292 | Where is the train?" |
28292 | Who of you will join me in trying to overpower him?" |
28292 | Why, whose wagon is that in front of the house?" |
28292 | Will you help us run down the thieves?" |
28292 | Will you try us as boarders for a week or two, Ralph?" |
28292 | Working on the case, Fairbanks?" |
28292 | Would you know them again?" |
28292 | Would you like to come to Stanley Junction with me and have a lawyer look into the matter for you?" |
28292 | Would you like to know what became of the good friends you have made in this book? |
28292 | Would you like to read other stories continuing their adventures and experiences, or other books quite as entertaining by the same author? |
28292 | You know Woods, the dry goods man at the Junction?" |
28292 | You know where Trafton is?" |
28292 | You remember the first day that you saw me?" |
28292 | You will have a great story to tell the railroad folks, eh? |
28292 | You''ll want to tell Griscom, wo n''t you? |
28292 | asked Limpy Joe,"full dinner or a lunch?" |
28292 | bawled the engineer suddenly to a fellow who appeared near the cab side,"what you doing there?" |
28292 | he yelled,"who is this?" |
28292 | the thieves? |
28292 | two boys? |
28292 | waste my time?" |
28292 | what does that mean?" |
28292 | what''s this?" |
28292 | you do?" |
33634 | ''Tis another streak of cruel hard luck, of bitter, cruel hard luck I''ve had this day, but am I down and out for the likes of that? |
33634 | ''Tis not the first time I''ve been fired, and did I not read that there''s MacMurtrey begging for men up at The Gap? 33634 A funeral procession?" |
33634 | A_ steady_ job, is it? |
33634 | Ah, Regan,she said, and her voice caught a little,"sure,''twould be the end of Martin, do n''t you see? |
33634 | Ai n''t it? 33634 Ai n''t you-- glad?" |
33634 | An''fwhat av ut? |
33634 | And do n''t the ten years I''ve put in here count for anything? |
33634 | And what then? |
33634 | And who but me lays the pay envelopes on your lap without so much as tearing''em to count the insides of''em? 33634 And why not?" |
33634 | Anything I can do-- Nulty? |
33634 | Anything good doing? |
33634 | Are they intelligent,inquired Coussirat in a velvet voice,"same as the billboards say?" |
33634 | Beezer,said he,"I did n''t say all horse doctors would n''t make jockeys-- what? |
33634 | Blame? |
33634 | But I guess,said Regan to himself, as he watched them go,"I guess mabbe I''ll be looking for that job on the Penn after all-- h''m?" |
33634 | But-- but what''s he doing at Cassil''s Siding? 33634 By the way, Tommy,"said the super,"how''s Maguire getting along?" |
33634 | Charlie-- what are you going to do? |
33634 | Clerk, eh? 33634 Come from New York, do n''t you?" |
33634 | D''ye mean that? |
33634 | D''ye mean to say that-- that--Regan choked a little--"that I''m responsible for that brick- topped, monkey- faced kid?" |
33634 | D''ye think I''m looking for glory and a wreath of immortelles? |
33634 | Did I not say,said Regan,"that the only decent thing old John would ever do would be to die? |
33634 | Did I? |
33634 | Did n''t I tell you I did n''t read your damned letter? 33634 Do n''t it?" |
33634 | Do you know what you are saying, Tommy? |
33634 | Do you want it? |
33634 | Eat? |
33634 | Eh!--what do you mean? |
33634 | Eh? |
33634 | Feel that way, do you? 33634 Flannagan?" |
33634 | Fwhat engine is ut? |
33634 | Fwhat''s thot? |
33634 | Give me a job, wo n''t you? |
33634 | Gone delirious, or mad, or----"What''s the matter? |
33634 | Got along far enough to take a station key somewhere? |
33634 | Got what? 33634 H''m?" |
33634 | H''m? |
33634 | Had any word from those Westinghouse fittings yet? 33634 Have n''t I just told you?" |
33634 | Have you been drinking, Maguire? |
33634 | He is n''t blind in the other, is he? |
33634 | He''s got to work for a living, I suppose-- eh? |
33634 | Him be sick-- yes? |
33634 | How about construction work with McCann? |
33634 | How about me, then? 33634 How do you mean you''ve known it for a long time?" |
33634 | How long are we stalled here for-- the rest of the night? |
33634 | How long we got here? 33634 How many men does it affect?" |
33634 | How much a week, Tommy,he inquired,"is thirty dollars a month, with about a third of the time out for sick spells?" |
33634 | How old are you? |
33634 | How''d I get a chance to learn? |
33634 | How''d he know-- what? 33634 How''d you think she looks, Dan?" |
33634 | How''m I going to get strong? |
33634 | How''s Dan take it in the cab, Billy? |
33634 | How''s P. Walton to- night? |
33634 | How''s a fellow to know what he''s cut out for, and what he can do best, when he starts in? 33634 How''s everything moving?" |
33634 | How? |
33634 | I ca n''t promise to kill off anybody to accommodate you, can I? |
33634 | I did n''t open it-- or mabbe I''d have known, eh? |
33634 | I guess it had-- I''d hate to think of his getting it so''s it would hurt any more than it had to, h''m? |
33634 | I guess,observed Regan to himself, as he gazed at the uncommunicative door panels,"I guess mabbe the neighbors have been neighborly-- h''m? |
33634 | I had to lie to him, did n''t I? |
33634 | I suppose you''ve some such place as Angel Forks, for instance, in mind, Tommy? |
33634 | I thought you did; and you thought you''d fool me by hanging around there, playing innocent, to walk home with me, eh? |
33634 | I''m not hankering to break the Sixth Commandment-- know what that is? |
33634 | I''m sorry to see yez are sick, Regan, an''I''m glad to see yez are better-- but did I not warn yez, Regan? 33634 I''m to blame-- ain''t I? |
33634 | I? |
33634 | It''s a hell of a chance, ai n''t it? 33634 It''s coming to you, ai n''t it? |
33634 | It''s not likely I would n''t, is it? 33634 It''s the bucko with the overgrown name in the center that interests me-- who''s he? |
33634 | Lead quarters-- eh? |
33634 | Life''s a hell of a thing, ai n''t it, Smithers? |
33634 | Mabbe''twould be the best thing-- h''m? |
33634 | Mabbe,said Regan, chewing absently on his blackstrap; and then, as a sort of afterthought:"What kind of a job?" |
33634 | Maria,said Sammy Durgan craftily, for this had worked before,"do I drink?" |
33634 | Martin''s? |
33634 | Martin, eh? |
33634 | Martin, for God''s sake, Martin,gasped the engineer,"what''s wrong with you?" |
33634 | Me? |
33634 | Me? |
33634 | Monkeys-- that''s plain enough, ai n''t it? 33634 Monkeys?" |
33634 | Mother and father down there still? |
33634 | My God, Bull,he whispered,"do you know what that means? |
33634 | No- o,admitted Toddles reluctantly;"but----""Then why not something where there''s no handicap hanging over you?" |
33634 | No? |
33634 | Not you, Bradley-- on the run? |
33634 | Now, what the devil is she stopping there for? |
33634 | Oh, a job is ut? |
33634 | Oh, you woke up, have you? |
33634 | Oh,said P. Walton,"talking of stringing him up-- is that it?" |
33634 | Pete--he jerked out his words hoarsely--"next Tuesday''s pay day-- is my face good till then?" |
33634 | Reddy,said he, with a growl that was n''t real,"there''s a vacancy in the engine crews-- h''m?" |
33634 | Say, cull, what''s yer name? |
33634 | Say,said Larry dubiously,"''taint going to be possible to board a train like that casual- like, is it?" |
33634 | Say,said Regan heavily,"it''s queer, ai n''t it? |
33634 | Say? |
33634 | Shoot the material along, an''do n''t lave me bitin''me finger nails for the want av ut-- d''ye moind? |
33634 | So they''re in town, are they-- and looking for fun? |
33634 | So you heard that, eh? |
33634 | Super hard on you this morning-- Hoogan? |
33634 | Suppose Beezer does n''t want to go? |
33634 | Sure now, is thot so? |
33634 | Take it back? 33634 That''s fair warning, is n''t it?" |
33634 | That''s what I''m gettin''now-- what I deserve,he flung back; then, halting in the doorway:"You understand, eh? |
33634 | That''s what it is, ai n''t it? 33634 That''s what you wanted, was n''t it? |
33634 | The cowboys, eh? |
33634 | The key, for instance? |
33634 | The old man''s gone, ai n''t he? |
33634 | Then what in blazes d''ye send for me for? |
33634 | Then, what''s the use of talking about wiping? 33634 Think so?" |
33634 | To blame? |
33634 | Tommy,he said in his big, quiet way, as his hand touched Regan''s sleeve,"tell me why you did n''t stop him, then, from going out to- night?" |
33634 | Tommy,said he, as the master mechanic entered his office,"did you see Harvey?" |
33634 | Touched you for a loan, eh? |
33634 | Tough luck, eh? 33634 Understand that? |
33634 | Was it worth it, Keene? |
33634 | Was that what was in the letter? |
33634 | We fix him goods by midnight,repeated Ivan Peloff, wagging his head; then, with a sudden scowl:"You not tell-- eh, Meester Walton?" |
33634 | We''re two hours late, Dan-- h''m? 33634 Well, Tommy, what do you make of this?" |
33634 | Well, how''s Jake to- day? |
33634 | Well, then, what are you kicking about? |
33634 | Well, what''s to be done? |
33634 | Well, you know now, do n''t you? |
33634 | Well,demanded Regan,"what do you say? |
33634 | Well,inquired Carleton,"what do you make of the running orders, Tommy?" |
33634 | Well? |
33634 | Well? |
33634 | Well? |
33634 | Whash fare Loon Dam to Big Cloud? |
33634 | Whash reason I ai n''t? 33634 What are you going to do? |
33634 | What are you going to do? |
33634 | What are you trying to do-- commit suicide? |
33634 | What can you do? |
33634 | What d''ye say-- h''m? 33634 What did he say?" |
33634 | What did you say? |
33634 | What do you expect? |
33634 | What do you mean? |
33634 | What fer? 33634 What in blazes would I let you take her for?" |
33634 | What in the double- blanked, blankety- blanked blazes are you grinning at? |
33634 | What is it, Martin? |
33634 | What is it, Martin? |
33634 | What is it? |
33634 | What is this new toy we''ve bought? |
33634 | What kind of changes, then? |
33634 | What was Dan like in the cab to- night? |
33634 | What was it you said you was doin''in de office? |
33634 | What was the name? |
33634 | What would I do with a dollar- ten, me with a wife and three kids? |
33634 | What you sitting in for? 33634 What''ll you do, Dan-- afterwards?" |
33634 | What''s de matter with you, Dook? |
33634 | What''s that? |
33634 | What''s the answer? |
33634 | What''s the matter with Beezer? |
33634 | What''s the matter with you, Beezer, h''m? |
33634 | What''s the matter, Martin? |
33634 | What''s the matter, Regan? |
33634 | What''s the matter, Spence? |
33634 | What''s the matter, Tommy? |
33634 | What''s the matter? |
33634 | What''s the meaning of this? |
33634 | What''s this? |
33634 | What''s to be done now? |
33634 | What''s wrong here? 33634 What''s wrong with you?" |
33634 | What''s wrong, Bob? |
33634 | What''s wrong? |
33634 | What''s wrong? |
33634 | What''s yer lay out here, Dook? |
33634 | What''s your name-- Toddles? |
33634 | What-- what is it? |
33634 | What? |
33634 | When''ll he grow up? |
33634 | Where are those bottles? |
33634 | Where''s Dan, Billy? 33634 Where''s he live?" |
33634 | Where''s the sick man? |
33634 | Where''s the super? |
33634 | Who do n''t? |
33634 | Who put you up to this, Peloff? |
33634 | Who said he would? 33634 Who''d teach me?" |
33634 | Who''s H. Herrington Campbell when he''s at home? |
33634 | Who''s Timmy O''Toole? |
33634 | Who? |
33634 | Why ai n''t I? |
33634 | Why did n''t you say so? 33634 Why did you try to shield McGrew?" |
33634 | Why do n''t you start me in sweeping up the round- house? 33634 Why would n''t I?" |
33634 | Why, did n''t you know? |
33634 | Wiping? |
33634 | Wonder how the Kid''s making out? |
33634 | Would you know him again if you saw him? |
33634 | Yes? |
33634 | You do n''t mean to say you''ve turned parson, Dook? 33634 You playing straight with me, Regan?" |
33634 | You think it will be me? |
33634 | You want to see me? |
33634 | You''d try your tricks on me, would you? |
33634 | You''re de inside man, see? 33634 _ What?_"demanded the super. |
33634 | ''Tis not much of a job, and beneath me at that, but have I not heard that them as are faithful in little will some day be handed much? |
33634 | A man ai n''t likely to fall off the right of way again as long as he does that, is he? |
33634 | Against the rules-- riding in the cab? |
33634 | Ai n''t he about?" |
33634 | All to the mustard again? |
33634 | And I''m going to change your runs, unless you''ve got some good reason to give me why I should n''t?" |
33634 | And now what''ll I do? |
33634 | And say, Dook, is that cuss Nulty on the new run?" |
33634 | And say, what are we going to do about it? |
33634 | And sometimes it does n''t help much to realize that we never will understand this side of the Great Divide-- does it? |
33634 | And take it easy on the grade, and mind your brakes going down-- understand?" |
33634 | And the wife, Martin, poor boy, she''s-- she''s dead?" |
33634 | And then, to the doctor:"Will he live?" |
33634 | And why? |
33634 | Been sick? |
33634 | Beezer?" |
33634 | Blamed queer-- h''m-- when you come to think of it?" |
33634 | Bradley? |
33634 | Bradley? |
33634 | But do you think any one would believe that? |
33634 | But what could I do? |
33634 | Ca n''t any of you speak English?" |
33634 | Call it a little thing-- but little things count a whole lot, too, sometimes in this old world of ours, do n''t they? |
33634 | Campbell-- h''m?" |
33634 | Can he have it?" |
33634 | Cut it out, d''ye hear, or we''ll come in there an''do it for you in a way you wo n''t like-- have you gone nutty?" |
33634 | D''ye hear-- ain''t it? |
33634 | D''ye think I came down to ask you to take me back? |
33634 | D''ye think I''d crawl to you or any man for a job? |
33634 | Day dreams? |
33634 | Did n''t I, eh, did n''t I? |
33634 | Do I know an engine, every last nut and bolt in her, or do n''t I?" |
33634 | Do n''t you know when you''re well off? |
33634 | Do yez take ut back, Regan?" |
33634 | Do you know him?" |
33634 | Do you recall that Owsley, too, was finished for the Limited run? |
33634 | Does he get better-- or does he not? |
33634 | Durgan?" |
33634 | Ever done any railroading?" |
33634 | Fight? |
33634 | Fire me, is ut?" |
33634 | Firing, eh? |
33634 | Funny, the egg part of it? |
33634 | Funny? |
33634 | Get that? |
33634 | Got any idea of what Carleton''s said about it?" |
33634 | Grade percentages and dry figures do n''t mean very much, do they? |
33634 | H''m? |
33634 | H''m? |
33634 | H''m?" |
33634 | H''m?" |
33634 | H''m?" |
33634 | H''m?" |
33634 | Hard? |
33634 | Has he got rights through-- or has n''t he? |
33634 | Have I not told yez till me throat''s cracked doin''ut thot yez are not rayquired to lift the whole dombed right av way to put in a single measly tie? |
33634 | Have a banana?" |
33634 | Hawkeye? |
33634 | He wants a good fitter, does he? |
33634 | He''ll float around an''get de bulletins from you-- you''ll know ahead when there''s anything good comin''along, wo n''t you?" |
33634 | He''s fired a gun de last time he''ll ever fire one-- see?" |
33634 | Head- on-- instead of just tying up all the blamed traffic between here and the Elk-- what? |
33634 | Heroes? |
33634 | How much of a drop in that two miles? |
33634 | How much, anyhow, did an engineer know about an engine? |
33634 | How old? |
33634 | How''d he get there-- h''m? |
33634 | How''d he get there?" |
33634 | How''d you make yer getaway-- you was in fer twenty spaces, was n''t you?" |
33634 | How''s he to know, Mrs. Beezer, will you tell me that?" |
33634 | How? |
33634 | I ca n''t poison anybody off to make room for him-- can I?" |
33634 | I did n''t offer you your choice, did I? |
33634 | I guess I will, h''m?" |
33634 | I guess you''re beginning to find that out too-- h''m?" |
33634 | I thought me luck was out fer keeps to- day when Spud-- you saw Spud, did n''t you?" |
33634 | I understand that-- but what happened here? |
33634 | I was dead- heading him down from Gopher Butte, was n''t I?" |
33634 | I wonder where he came from, and who he was?" |
33634 | I wonder where he came from?" |
33634 | I wonder who P. Walton is, and where he came from anyhow?" |
33634 | I wonder, though, where he came from?" |
33634 | I''ll have him pulling a throttle one of these days-- what?" |
33634 | I''m a pretty good man yet, ai n''t I? |
33634 | I''m out, am I? |
33634 | I''ve been wondering about that patch Owsley had on his eye, and----""What''s that got to do with it?" |
33634 | If I can keep him by me, Regan, d''ye mind? |
33634 | If the nickel thrillers had failed him in his hour of need, he would have to depend on himself-- only what was he to do? |
33634 | Inconsistent, to put it mildly, that a man like Bradley would have let go at all? |
33634 | Inspect the shops? |
33634 | Is it a coincidence to smile at? |
33634 | Is this sacrilege-- to say it was n''t luck? |
33634 | Is ut a hump loike a camel''s back yez are try in''to make in the rail? |
33634 | It must be eleven minutes now since he had started from the Big Cloud yards, but how far had he come? |
33634 | It''s hard to understand the running orders of the Great Trainmaster sometimes-- isn''t it? |
33634 | It''s logical and reasonable enough to satisfy even the most hypercritical crank amongst us anti- superstitionists-- isn''t it? |
33634 | It''s no business of mine, is it?" |
33634 | It''s rough, damn rough, ai n''t it-- after forty years?" |
33634 | Kill the brat? |
33634 | Know him?" |
33634 | Lace cap? |
33634 | Lynchin'', eh? |
33634 | MacCaffery? |
33634 | Makes quite an amalgamation, does n''t it-- direct eastern tidewater connection-- what? |
33634 | Mothers always dream of their boy''s future in that gentle, loving, all- conquering, up- in- the- clouds kind of a way, do n''t they? |
33634 | Mrs. MacQuigan was right-- wasn''t she? |
33634 | Neither of them said anything for a minute; then Regan, pacing up and down the room, spoke again:"It''s a clean sweep, eh? |
33634 | Night after to- morrow, train passes Spider Cut eight- seventeen-- that right?" |
33634 | Noodles''lips thinned suddenly-- it began to look promising already-- what was Regan up to? |
33634 | Not a pretty sight? |
33634 | Not a very big thing-- to pull the latch of the Directors''Special? |
33634 | Not much of a chance? |
33634 | Not much to choke strong men up and throw them into the"dead- center"? |
33634 | Not the big thing to do? |
33634 | Nothing to make a fuss over? |
33634 | Now, will you get out-- or be thrown out?" |
33634 | Of course, it was against the rules-- but rules are broken sometimes, are n''t they? |
33634 | Oh, you, in your millions, who ride in trains by day and night, do you ever give a thought to the men into whose keeping you hand your lives? |
33634 | Once in camp, and stationary on a siding, the cars would be connected up with little wooden gangways, you understand? |
33634 | Only what was he to do? |
33634 | Out here to die-- pleasant, what? |
33634 | Owsley did n''t speak for a moment, he seemed to be puzzling something out; then, still in a puzzled way:"And then what about after the month?" |
33634 | Owsley? |
33634 | Owsley? |
33634 | Queer, is n''t it-- the way things happen? |
33634 | Reddy? |
33634 | Regan glared fiercely-- then he spluttered:"Who in hell''s Christopher Hyslop Hoogan-- h''m?" |
33634 | Say, Beezer, what''s the matter with you-- h''m?" |
33634 | Say, Regan, ai n''t it-- ain''t it fine? |
33634 | Say, d''ye know what this''ll mean to Owsley-- do you, eh, do you? |
33634 | Say, was I to blame if some of them checks in the hurry did n''t get the first name I''d written on''em scratched out? |
33634 | Say, you''ll give me a job, wo n''t you?" |
33634 | Say-- ain''t it?" |
33634 | Scared? |
33634 | Soft coal? |
33634 | Sounds queer, does n''t it? |
33634 | Still looking for an emergency to rise to, eh? |
33634 | Superstition is a queer thing, is n''t it? |
33634 | Superstition? |
33634 | Suppose you see what you can do? |
33634 | That bunch back there''s getting so damned polite to me you''d think the words would melt in their mouths-- what?" |
33634 | That was the approach of the Devil''s Slide-- on a westbound run, you understand? |
33634 | That would n''t be sacrilege, would it? |
33634 | That''s straight enough, ai n''t it? |
33634 | That''s the state of affairs, is n''t it?" |
33634 | The only decent thing old John''ll ever do will be to die-- h''m? |
33634 | The question is, why would you? |
33634 | The running time of the fast fliers on this stretch is-- but what of that? |
33634 | Then abruptly:"I got to get strong for the old 1601, ai n''t I? |
33634 | There''s nothing superstitious about that, is there? |
33634 | Thirty dollars a month-- it''s not much of a stake-- what do you say?" |
33634 | Three hours? |
33634 | Timmy O''Toole now, is it? |
33634 | Toddles? |
33634 | Trouble? |
33634 | Trouble? |
33634 | Understand?" |
33634 | Understand?" |
33634 | Use the key and put them wise? |
33634 | Want to begin right away?" |
33634 | Was he going to stop too soon after all? |
33634 | Was he near any help? |
33634 | We ditch the train-- see? |
33634 | Well, everybody day- dreams, do n''t they? |
33634 | Well, it''s an easy matter and a very human one, to judge another from the safe vantage ground of distance-- isn''t it? |
33634 | Well, so long, Dook-- I got it straight, eh? |
33634 | Well, then, I was right, was n''t I? |
33634 | Well, then, forget it, he''s been doing that for a year now-- what?" |
33634 | Well, then, what''s the matter with you? |
33634 | Well, then-- what?" |
33634 | Whash goin''to do''bout it, Charlie?" |
33634 | What d''ye say, doc?" |
33634 | What day is this?" |
33634 | What did Toddles have to do with this? |
33634 | What do you bid?" |
33634 | What do you say?" |
33634 | What do you say?" |
33634 | What do you say?" |
33634 | What do you think about it, Tommy?" |
33634 | What for? |
33634 | What goal? |
33634 | What in blazes does a white man want to go and live in a two- room pigsty, with a family of Polacks and about eighteen kids, for?" |
33634 | What is it?" |
33634 | What kind of an engineer do you think you''d make? |
33634 | What sort of a job?" |
33634 | What was he to do? |
33634 | What was the matter? |
33634 | What''d you do?" |
33634 | What''s a godfather, anyhow?" |
33634 | What''s next?" |
33634 | What''s the matter with sending him somewhere up the line where he ca n''t get a drink if he goes to blazes for it? |
33634 | What''s wrong with you, McCann?" |
33634 | What?" |
33634 | When you''ve had a chance to look around a little more, mabbe you''ll be able to decide better-- what? |
33634 | When? |
33634 | Where was he? |
33634 | Where''s your mate?" |
33634 | Where, from what possible source, could there be any trouble? |
33634 | Who is he-- h''m? |
33634 | Who knows if he ever heard the thundering crash with which the Elk River bridge went out? |
33634 | Who knows what was in the poor, warped brain that night? |
33634 | Who knows? |
33634 | Who knows? |
33634 | Who was going to say anything about it? |
33634 | Who''s Pietro?" |
33634 | Who''s talkin''?" |
33634 | Who''s to tell him?" |
33634 | Why do n''t you answer?" |
33634 | Why do n''t you cut it out? |
33634 | Why do n''t you hit Regan up and change over?" |
33634 | Why not Beezer? |
33634 | Why smash the window? |
33634 | Why waste the moment required to do it simply to answer the call? |
33634 | Why? |
33634 | Yes? |
33634 | Yez''ll take ut back, Regan?" |
33634 | You can give my run to some one else, Regan, d''ye mind? |
33634 | You can read, ca n''t you? |
33634 | You know Carleton, do n''t you? |
33634 | You know that, Regan-- you know it hanged well, do n''t you?" |
33634 | You see de letters, an''know what''s goin''on pretty familiar- like, do n''t you?" |
33634 | You see what happened? |
33634 | You thought I was-- hic!--s''drunk I would n''t know-- eh? |
33634 | You understand, God, do n''t You?''" |
33634 | You would n''t do that, would you-- Charlie? |
33634 | You would n''t throw me down-- would you? |
33634 | You''re not to blame, are you? |
33634 | You''re the senior engineer on the division, ai n''t you? |
33634 | You''ve got some pretty old men handling your trains out here, have n''t you?" |
33634 | he gasped; and then, quick as a steel trap:"What''s wrong?" |
5901 | A New York train? |
5901 | Ahem-- seat occupied? |
5901 | Am I to understand that you connect ME in any way with this girl''s death, or that I am a friend to this Hubert Vander of whom you speak? |
5901 | Among them an old woman? |
5901 | An express robbery, you say? |
5901 | And Dyke Darrel is now in Chicago? |
5901 | And Dyke? |
5901 | And Hubert''s friend? |
5901 | And I sit with my hands folded meantime? |
5901 | And at Bloomington I can take the cars for Burlington? |
5901 | And do you imagine_ I_ am going to pay the bill? |
5901 | And here I''ve been-- how long? |
5901 | And his wife-- children? |
5901 | And it makes you feel uneasy? |
5901 | And now? |
5901 | And put on a disguise? |
5901 | And that Dyke Darrel is on the trail? |
5901 | And that is why you are here? |
5901 | And that? |
5901 | And that? |
5901 | And you deem me a most hardened scoundrel? 5901 And you did it?" |
5901 | And you saw and talked with him? |
5901 | And you were not in Black Hollow, last night? |
5901 | And you will consent to act as this girl''s keeper for a time? |
5901 | And you will not run into danger, for my sake? |
5901 | And you? |
5901 | Any passengers get on? |
5901 | Are n''t you glad to see me, Madam? |
5901 | Are n''t you glad to see me, Nell? |
5901 | Are they together? |
5901 | Are you a relative of Mr.---? |
5901 | Are you alone? |
5901 | Are you going to him soon? |
5901 | Are you going to take passengers? |
5901 | Are you stopping there? |
5901 | Are you sure of it? |
5901 | Are you sure? |
5901 | As I like? |
5901 | At what hour does the train pass? |
5901 | Aye, but his name? |
5901 | But how comes it that you are like this? |
5901 | But if any one asked you, would you refuse? |
5901 | But is it a photograph of your face? |
5901 | But is there no way to escape? |
5901 | But of what crime was the young man accused? 5901 But see here, how am I to know that you are a detective? |
5901 | But suppose any danger should threaten you? |
5901 | But the down train goes earlier? |
5901 | But the man Jarima? 5901 But what can I do among all these fiends?" |
5901 | But who could have done it? |
5901 | But who is he? 5901 But who was the leader-- the instigator of the foul deed?" |
5901 | But you will come to- morrow, will you not-- to tell me the result? |
5901 | But, dear, what will your father say? |
5901 | Can I be of any service? 5901 Can I go to Dyke?" |
5901 | Can I help you, grandfather? |
5901 | Can you bear it? |
5901 | Can you control your hand? |
5901 | Can you prove this? |
5901 | Can you prove this? |
5901 | Can you tell me,she began breathlessly to a sunburnt man standing near,"if there are any ships leaving here to- morrow?" |
5901 | Can you walk, brother? |
5901 | Company? 5901 Confound it, who are you?" |
5901 | Could it be possible for you to set them free, without fear of detection? |
5901 | Did I not so claim at the time? |
5901 | Did any passengers get off here some hours since from the New York train east? |
5901 | Did n''t I say so? 5901 Did she say anything?" |
5901 | Did you find any one? |
5901 | Did you find your man? |
5901 | Did you hit him, Professor? |
5901 | Did you know the murdered messenger, Dyke? |
5901 | Did you recognize them? |
5901 | Did you suspect this before now? |
5901 | Diniz, is it really you? 5901 Do n''t it you?" |
5901 | Do n''t it? 5901 Do n''t you accept what the dying Swart said as true?" |
5901 | Do n''t you hear his step? 5901 Do you deny your guilt, scoundrel?" |
5901 | Do you get off here? |
5901 | Do you hear me, Sam? |
5901 | Do you know that they took the New York train? |
5901 | Do you know who sent the dispatch? |
5901 | Do you mean this, father? 5901 Do you mean to say that Watson has been arrested?" |
5901 | Do you not know her? |
5901 | Do you realize your condition? 5901 Do you remember that night on the dock beside the river, Elliston?" |
5901 | Do you suppose I have nothing to do but answer such nonsensical questions? |
5901 | Do you think I could see him? 5901 Do you think my Hubert could write anything so cruel?" |
5901 | Do you think she came to this vicinity on the cars? |
5901 | Do you think so, Savitre? 5901 Do you think this is stolen?" |
5901 | Does it? 5901 Dyke, what would you do?" |
5901 | Dyke, you know that when I left Woodburg some months ago, I went from among you under a cloud? |
5901 | Eh, it''s you, Ruggles? |
5901 | Eh? 5901 Eh? |
5901 | Eh? 5901 Eh?" |
5901 | Eh? |
5901 | Explain, Savitre-- Sampayo, what means this strange raving? 5901 Galien? |
5901 | Got off? 5901 Harper Elliston, how dare you insult me in this way? |
5901 | Harper, are you aware that the murdered messenger was my friend? |
5901 | Has he said anything? |
5901 | Have n''t they been here to- day? |
5901 | Have n''t you forgotten something? |
5901 | Have n''t you got into the wrong house? |
5901 | Have n''t you met him? |
5901 | Have you brought good news? |
5901 | Have you formulated a plan? |
5901 | Have you heard of the midnight express robbery? |
5901 | Have you investigated? |
5901 | Have you opened the satchel? |
5901 | Have you seen my brother? |
5901 | He is away most of his time, as you doubtless know----"And the girl is alone? |
5901 | He is well? |
5901 | He recognized you of course? |
5901 | His name? |
5901 | How about the Osborne case? |
5901 | How are you, Dyke, old boy? |
5901 | How can you act so dishonorably, papa? |
5901 | How could I help but love you-- you who saved my life? 5901 How could you guess that?" |
5901 | How did it happen? |
5901 | How did it happen? |
5901 | How did it happen? |
5901 | How did this happen? |
5901 | How do you feel, my man? |
5901 | How do you find yourself this morning, my dear? |
5901 | How do you know what she was worth, you miserable brute? |
5901 | How does the land lay, Nat? |
5901 | How far is that from here? |
5901 | How is that? |
5901 | How long will you keep her here? |
5901 | Hubert Vander? 5901 I believe you are leaving India to- morrow? |
5901 | I could have long ago taken a partner to share my life in my elegant home on Fifth avenue, but do you know the reason of my not doing so? 5901 I did not miss my guess when I called him Elliston?" |
5901 | I might; but---"Well? |
5901 | I steal? 5901 I was rescued, you say? |
5901 | If necessary, of course; but what in the world is the matter, Dyke? 5901 If you knew it would do some one a great service? |
5901 | In ten minutes? 5901 Indeed?" |
5901 | Is it you who wish to go? |
5901 | Is that the answer I am to give Tonza? |
5901 | Is that your photograph? |
5901 | Is this Miss Darrel? |
5901 | Is this because you fear to trust me, after what has happened, Dyke? |
5901 | It is you? 5901 It''s ther kid--""Watson?" |
5901 | Jule, when did my sister answer this letter? |
5901 | Last night? |
5901 | Lianor, may I speak before Savitre? |
5901 | Lianor, what does this farce mean? 5901 Madge, what charge was your nephew arrested under?" |
5901 | Madge, where are Nick and Sam? |
5901 | Martin? |
5901 | May not this Vander and his friends conclude that the man- hunter perished in the flames, if they fail to see him again? 5901 Mike, where are you hit?" |
5901 | Miss Nell? 5901 Mr. Elliston, did you come here to insult me?" |
5901 | Must I call you coquette? |
5901 | My child,drawing her nearer to him,"Luiz Falcam has asked your hand in marriage; what answer shall I give him?" |
5901 | My cousin? |
5901 | My dear Lianor,said her companion, a young man scarcely older than herself, and wonderfully like her,"what new idea, have you got now?" |
5901 | My dearest child, what is the matter? 5901 Nell, is it you?" |
5901 | Nell, what is it? |
5901 | No-- why should I be glad? |
5901 | No; a young gemmen----"A gentleman? |
5901 | No? |
5901 | No? |
5901 | Now what? |
5901 | Of what use a disguise that my friends all understood? |
5901 | Old woman, do you mean to murder me here? |
5901 | Only this morning, you say? |
5901 | Perhaps; but was n''t there another coincidence that gave you reason to suspect me? 5901 Savitre,"Leone said suddenly,"would you be willing to leave your country-- to go with me to Portugal?" |
5901 | See here, boss, are n''t you goin''on a bin run for nothin''? 5901 Senora,"he said politely, drawing from his breast the poignard,"can you tell me from whom your father bought this?" |
5901 | Sha n''t I order the wine? |
5901 | Should you know him again? 5901 Sibyl Osborne?" |
5901 | Sims? |
5901 | So long?'' 5901 So you are the man who wrote that note requesting an interview? |
5901 | So you have Paul with you, Harry? |
5901 | Soon? |
5901 | Surely you are not thinking of leaving India? |
5901 | Swear it? 5901 The Professor?" |
5901 | The express crime? |
5901 | The money and jewels, Miriam-- what have you done with them? |
5901 | The witnesses? |
5901 | Then our paths must lie apart hereafter, I suppose, Miss Darrel? |
5901 | This came when? |
5901 | This is all you know regarding the midnight tragedy? |
5901 | This is the truth? |
5901 | Thought to fool the old woman, eh? |
5901 | Through the mail? |
5901 | To what? |
5901 | To whom? |
5901 | Took? |
5901 | True, but how will we git the cuss outside? |
5901 | Wal? |
5901 | Was he? |
5901 | Was it Professor Ruggles? |
5901 | Was it the fact of my hand fitting this bloody imprint that so startled you in the St. Louis hotel? |
5901 | Watson, I hope you know nothing of this work? |
5901 | Well, Lianor, dearest, what is it? |
5901 | Well, how did you make out, Harry? |
5901 | Well, what has happened to him, man? 5901 Well, yes,"admitted the youth;"I hope you did n''t imagine, however, that_ I_ had a hand in this railway robbery and murder?" |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Well? |
5901 | Were n''t you in Black Hollow last night? |
5901 | What IS the trouble? |
5901 | What are we to do? |
5901 | What do I know? |
5901 | What do you know of the disappearance of Captain Osborne and the death of his daughter? |
5901 | What do you know of the murder of Arnold Nicholson on the midnight express, south of Chicago, some weeks ago? |
5901 | What do you mean by that? |
5901 | What do you want? |
5901 | What does this mean? |
5901 | What has happened? 5901 What have you discovered, Dyke?" |
5901 | What have you to say now, Harper Elliston? |
5901 | What in the name of caution are you driving at, Aunt Jule? 5901 What in the nation do you want with money any how?" |
5901 | What is he here for? |
5901 | What is it you want? |
5901 | What is it you wish? |
5901 | What is it, Dyke? |
5901 | What is it? 5901 What is it?" |
5901 | What is that? |
5901 | What is that? |
5901 | What is that? |
5901 | What news do you bring? |
5901 | What nonsense are you saying, child? 5901 What now, pard? |
5901 | What was it?--WHO was it? |
5901 | What will it be? |
5901 | What will you do? |
5901 | What''s that you say? |
5901 | What''s that? 5901 What''s wanted, you fellers?" |
5901 | What, Falcam, is it you, my boy? |
5901 | What? 5901 What?" |
5901 | What? |
5901 | When did you learn so much? |
5901 | When does the next train pass going west? |
5901 | When does the next train pass, Harper? |
5901 | When does the train pass? |
5901 | When shall I see you again, Dyke? |
5901 | When will Harry come to Woodburg? |
5901 | When? |
5901 | When? |
5901 | Where am I? |
5901 | Where are you going, Lianor? |
5901 | Where did you get it? |
5901 | Where did you get this? |
5901 | Where did you get your information? |
5901 | Where did you obtain this, Dyke? |
5901 | Where does he live? |
5901 | Where have you been, Lianor? 5901 Where is Dyke?" |
5901 | Where is Lianor? |
5901 | Where is he now? |
5901 | Where is the flask of brandy you brought from the train, Dyke? |
5901 | Where is the old hag who rules this den of iniquity? |
5901 | Where''s the woman now? |
5901 | Where? 5901 Where?" |
5901 | Where? |
5901 | Who are you and what are you driving at? |
5901 | Who are you? |
5901 | Who are you? |
5901 | Who did this, then? |
5901 | Who else should I mean? |
5901 | Who helped her? |
5901 | Who is this? |
5901 | Who then? |
5901 | Who was it? |
5901 | Who was it? |
5901 | Who''s there? |
5901 | Why did n''t you bring the young missus wid yo? |
5901 | Why did n''t you send''em up? |
5901 | Why did not you call for me at Bragg''s? |
5901 | Why did you permit it? |
5901 | Why do you call me by that name, Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | Why do you hope so? |
5901 | Why do you sigh? 5901 Why have you come too late? |
5901 | Why have you such an idea? |
5901 | Why not? |
5901 | Why should I think on it? 5901 Why so?" |
5901 | Why was I brought here? |
5901 | Will it never come-- the proof I want? |
5901 | Will nothing I say convince you I am innocent? 5901 Will nothing move you, woman?" |
5901 | Will you entice him? |
5901 | Will you go down on Clark street with me? |
5901 | Will you go to Chicago now? |
5901 | Will you not lie down and rest? |
5901 | Will you permit us to depart from here? |
5901 | Will you show me some? |
5901 | Will you swear to this also? |
5901 | Will you take the required oath?'' 5901 Would a dying man be likely to utter a falsehood?" |
5901 | Would n''t it? |
5901 | Would you do it after what has happened, if you were in a condition to do so? |
5901 | YOU? |
5901 | Yes; what do you know? |
5901 | Yes; will you keep me company? |
5901 | Yet you would be glad to see Dyke Darrel dead? |
5901 | You agree to my terms? |
5901 | You are a detective? |
5901 | You are confident? |
5901 | You are sure his captor was Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | You are sure? 5901 You are sure?" |
5901 | You are surprised? |
5901 | You are unarmed? |
5901 | You believe I am lying, Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | You came at noon? |
5901 | You did not go to Chicago, then? |
5901 | You did not know this dead girl? |
5901 | You do not care to remain with me longer? |
5901 | You had him once? |
5901 | You have heard of Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | You have not found him? |
5901 | You have read the news? |
5901 | You know me? |
5901 | You know the place? |
5901 | You love him, child? |
5901 | You mean Dyke Darrel, the detective? |
5901 | You must go first? |
5901 | You really mean that? 5901 You said the wart had a peculiar shape? |
5901 | You see how it is, Nell? |
5901 | You see that brown house up yonder, in the edge of that grove? |
5901 | You see that? |
5901 | You suspected as much? |
5901 | You swear it? |
5901 | You will tell me of your success or failure? |
5901 | You will trust me as of old? |
5901 | You wish to ask me something, is it not so? 5901 You wished to see me, papa?" |
5901 | You wished to see me, senora? |
5901 | You''re sure the door''s tightly fastened? |
5901 | You''re the detective, Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | Your friend? |
5901 | _ I_ know her? 5901 A daughter of the house? |
5901 | A lot of chattering girls, I suppose?" |
5901 | A strange glitter came to the eyes of Mrs. Scarlet as she said:"Who told you that Nell Darrel was in this house?" |
5901 | An old friend of yours, is he not?" |
5901 | And Lianor-- how is she?-- well?" |
5901 | And what is that?" |
5901 | Any clew discovered?" |
5901 | Are n''t I a pattern of perfection?" |
5901 | Are you hurt?" |
5901 | Are you ill?" |
5901 | Are you sorry to quit your native land?" |
5901 | At length he said:"Dyke, what is it?" |
5901 | But if he never came here again?" |
5901 | But is he, then, in need of help-- in danger?" |
5901 | But one person was awake, an old man, who said:"Lookin''fur the young lady?" |
5901 | But should he die-- what then?" |
5901 | But what meant this horrible revelation of the handkerchief? |
5901 | But what use was her feeble strength against the powerful wills of two determined men? |
5901 | But what was their strength against more than five hundred strong warriors? |
5901 | But why these robes, Lianor? |
5901 | But your father will he consent to your accompanying me?" |
5901 | But, Lianor, is it true you are betrothed to Tonza?" |
5901 | Ca n''t you speak?" |
5901 | Can it be possible that the friends of Nell Darrel have employed this hag to rob me of my prize? |
5901 | Can it be that our friendship was but a brittle cord, after all?" |
5901 | Can you lend me some money, Nick?" |
5901 | Can you refuse my offer when the lives of those you love depend upon it?" |
5901 | Could anything be more generous?" |
5901 | Could it be possible that another had the same- sized hand and a wart near the knuckle of the little finger? |
5901 | Could it be that she was dreaming? |
5901 | Darrel?" |
5901 | Did he send ye?" |
5901 | Did you recognize me when we first met?" |
5901 | Did you see the man''s face who assaulted me, Harry?" |
5901 | Did you want me?" |
5901 | Didn''yo''send fur her yo''very self? |
5901 | Do n''t lose your temper, sir, but listen?" |
5901 | Do n''t you know I''m always dead- broke?" |
5901 | Do n''t you remember?" |
5901 | Do n''t you think that will be pleasant, dearest?" |
5901 | Do n''t you understand? |
5901 | Do you hear me?" |
5901 | Do you imagine he''s on the trail?" |
5901 | Do you imagine that I would for one moment countenance anything so base? |
5901 | Do you know Hubert Vander?" |
5901 | Do you know on what dangerous grounds you are treading? |
5901 | Do you know that Nell Darrel is armed?" |
5901 | Do you know that many of the wealthiest, most beautiful maidens of Gotham would jump at the offer you have just spurned so lightly?" |
5901 | Do you know the man Sims?" |
5901 | Do you know, Watson, the fate of your poor uncle?" |
5901 | Do you stop there?" |
5901 | Do you suppose your dear nephew could do anything wrong? |
5901 | Do you think I''m a fool, Dyke Darrel?" |
5901 | Do you understand?" |
5901 | Do you wish to hear what I can tell?" |
5901 | Dyke Darrel, do you imagine that_ I_ had aught to do with enticing your sister to this wicked city? |
5901 | Dyke injured? |
5901 | Elliston?" |
5901 | Even if you were not connected with it, you know WHO was?" |
5901 | First, have you not got Phenee, the Jew, and Diniz Sampayo here?" |
5901 | Had that face at the window been an optical delusion, after all? |
5901 | Harry, has nothing been discovered of poor Nell?--was she killed?" |
5901 | Hate him? |
5901 | Have you a match?" |
5901 | Have you any word to send to Dyke?" |
5901 | Have you brought me any news?" |
5901 | Have you not been for him?" |
5901 | He will never betray a poor girl-- such a gentleman, and so good? |
5901 | His wife-- when he murdered Luiz?" |
5901 | Hope you did n''t think I''d committed matrimony?" |
5901 | Hope you''re not in love-- THAT makes a fool of a man sometimes?" |
5901 | How can I break the awful truth to you? |
5901 | How can I live without you?" |
5901 | How can it be possible? |
5901 | How comes''it, though, her miniature is in his hands? |
5901 | How could any one have been so cold- blooded?" |
5901 | How dare you disobey me when I said so particularly I wished you to appear at your best? |
5901 | How den yo''''spec she''s goin''to be home ef yo''didn''done brung her, eh?" |
5901 | How did you find him?" |
5901 | How do you feel, dear?" |
5901 | How does your head feel?" |
5901 | How is that?" |
5901 | How much will you give me for it?" |
5901 | I hope you do not fear to trust me?" |
5901 | I remembered only to- day that you once proved a true friend to Diniz Sampayo, and I came to know if you would again aid him?" |
5901 | I suppose I have your good wishes in hunting down the outlaws?" |
5901 | I thought it was a day of festival at the palace?" |
5901 | I wonder who?" |
5901 | I''ll go and introduce myself and get him to wait this car to try an excellent brand of cigars-- see?" |
5901 | I''ve heerd that you have rooms to rent?" |
5901 | In mourning, and for a ball?" |
5901 | In the meantime, how fared it with poor Nell Darrel, who had gone thus blindly to her doom? |
5901 | Is he ill-- in danger? |
5901 | Is he in?" |
5901 | Is it Luiz? |
5901 | Is it a criminal case?" |
5901 | Is it not so?" |
5901 | Is n''t she at home?" |
5901 | Look at that, and tell me what you think of it?" |
5901 | Louis?" |
5901 | Louis?" |
5901 | Louis?" |
5901 | Madge, where are you?" |
5901 | My nephew is still in durance vile?" |
5901 | Not the one on the midnight express, I hope?" |
5901 | Now, as regards Watson Wilks, you say Dyke Darrel has gone to Missouri with the boy in charge?" |
5901 | Of course you have heard of the crime on the Central?" |
5901 | Of course you heard of the robbery of the midnight express down in the central part of the State last night? |
5901 | Oh, senor, how can you ask? |
5901 | Scarlet?" |
5901 | Strange place for a learned professor, was it not? |
5901 | Strange proceeding, was it not, after what had taken place? |
5901 | Suppose any one overheard us?" |
5901 | Surely you would not sacrifice your child to him? |
5901 | The boy? |
5901 | The late tragedy, for instance?" |
5901 | Think you I am fool enough to permit this?" |
5901 | To Hubert?" |
5901 | Two men met unexpectedly in one of the hotel corridors of the great city; two hands went out, and"How are you, Harry?" |
5901 | Was his enemy to thus outwit him always? |
5901 | Was that the truth?" |
5901 | Wat can I do for ye, mister?" |
5901 | Well, now, what is this for?" |
5901 | Whar''d you be now if I had n''t gin Dyke Darrel his quietus? |
5901 | What did he want, honey?" |
5901 | What fate had been her brother''s? |
5901 | What had caused this awful calamity? |
5901 | What had happened during all this while? |
5901 | What has he done?" |
5901 | What have they done with the villains, that sleek one with the red hair and beard?" |
5901 | What hev''you got there?" |
5901 | What is he arrested for?" |
5901 | What is it?" |
5901 | What is the matter? |
5901 | What is your opinion?" |
5901 | What made you, a stranger, think of one whom all others had forgotten?" |
5901 | What motive could a wealthy man like Tonza have in getting rid of one of his own employes? |
5901 | What shall we do with this?" |
5901 | What was it that had caught the eye of Dyke Darrel, to cause such terrible emotion? |
5901 | What was the trouble about?" |
5901 | Where did we leave off?" |
5901 | Where in the world did you spring from?" |
5901 | Who could that be but Martin Skidway? |
5901 | Who had robbed him? |
5901 | Who is dead?" |
5901 | Who is she? |
5901 | Who is she?" |
5901 | Who is the woman? |
5901 | Who was it?" |
5901 | Who were the rescuers?" |
5901 | Why did I ever let you leave me? |
5901 | Why do you hesitate?" |
5901 | Why had he not come? |
5901 | Why have I come here so often? |
5901 | Why have you disguised yourself? |
5901 | Why then should he not trust him? |
5901 | Why, then, should you say he stole it?" |
5901 | Will you answer?" |
5901 | Will you come with me to Bragg''s?" |
5901 | Will you go on it to Chicago?" |
5901 | Will you go on?" |
5901 | Will you help me to rescue her?" |
5901 | Will you take us, and set us down on one of those small islands on the coast, where no one would find us?" |
5901 | Would it be so dreadful for you to quit the country?" |
5901 | Would you know the wart if you should see it again?" |
5901 | Would you mind telling me where you are going?" |
5901 | Would you try to frighten me? |
5901 | Yet, why should she think of that man? |
5901 | You are Don Garcia''s daughter, are you not?" |
5901 | You draw a pistol on me, Dyke Darrel? |
5901 | You have been down the road?" |
5901 | You have n''t heard from him?" |
5901 | You love me, a girl who is not even of your own kind?" |
5901 | You understand, Sam?" |
5901 | You will do as I wish?" |
5901 | You would smile and feel happy to see him suffer?" |
5901 | he cried, hoarsely,"WHO coaxed you to commit this crime?" |
5901 | he gasped,"is it really you?" |
5901 | how are you? |
5901 | how came you here, Martin Skidway?" |
5901 | is that so? |
5901 | is this you?" |
5901 | so you''re here again, Nick? |
5901 | what does this mean?" |
5901 | what is that?" |
5901 | what should I do if they took you from me?" |
5901 | who is this?" |
16630 | ''They?'' 16630 Afraid? |
16630 | After a good fashion, I hope? |
16630 | Ah, Williams-- concealed weapons? 16630 Am I not?" |
16630 | Am I? |
16630 | And how about opening the new through line for business? 16630 And if I did?" |
16630 | And is she still worth all those sacrifices you said you would be willing to make for her? |
16630 | And that reason is? |
16630 | And that reminds me: are we going to be at war with the main line operating department? |
16630 | And the president? |
16630 | And then? |
16630 | And then? |
16630 | And these dash-_dashed_ MacMorroghs did n''t try to hold them? |
16630 | And those promises were--? |
16630 | And you think it will affect the price of the stock? |
16630 | Any use to turn out the crew and hunt for them? |
16630 | Anybody want to try a run for it? |
16630 | Are n''t you going over to see the new route with your own eyes? |
16630 | Are we? |
16630 | Are you a division superintendent on the system and do n''t know? |
16630 | Are you full awake now, ye red- hot blastoderm? |
16630 | Are you good for a two- hundred- and- eighty- mile cayuse ride, there and back, on the same trail we tramped over a year ago last spring? |
16630 | Are you guessing at that? 16630 Are you provoked with yourself, or with me?" |
16630 | Are you quite convinced that I am the better man? |
16630 | Are you, too, bitten with the fad of the moment,''the simple life''? |
16630 | Are you? |
16630 | At once? |
16630 | Baseless? |
16630 | Because if it is, I think you must be out of the West; the-- the unfettered West: is n''t that what it is called? |
16630 | Because it ca n''t be financed? |
16630 | Been cooling your fingers, has he? 16630 Big money, you mean? |
16630 | But Mr. Frisbie must have been over the line a great many times: how could he miss seeing that enormous sign? |
16630 | But ca n''t you make the MacMorroghs do a little police work, for common decency''s sake? |
16630 | But granting it to be the fact, do n''t you see the absolute futility of asking for thirty- five millions additional capital at such a crisis? |
16630 | But how could you be implicated? |
16630 | But how would you go about it to rule them out? |
16630 | But nothing came of it? |
16630 | But tell me how it happened? |
16630 | But the mine: you had a right to buy it, did n''t you? |
16630 | But the president? |
16630 | But this Plug Mountain division is a part of Mr. Ford''s line, is n''t it? |
16630 | But why all this stage play? 16630 But why do you say that? |
16630 | But you have safe majorities? |
16630 | But you''ll make my excuses to Mrs. Adair, wo n''t you? 16630 By coming to Chicago with us? |
16630 | By my lonesome? |
16630 | By the way, Mr. Ford; what time did you say your train would reach Chicago? |
16630 | Can you see now how it takes the very marrow out of a man''s bones, Kenneth? 16630 Come up here for the view? |
16630 | Could n''t you draw on the treasurer? 16630 Could we make room? |
16630 | Cruel? |
16630 | Did I? 16630 Did Mr. Frisbie know about your purchase of the mine?" |
16630 | Did any of the shots hit the car? |
16630 | Did he get him? 16630 Did n''t he say something about going over these new lines on an inspection trip?" |
16630 | Did that fetch him? |
16630 | Did you notice his horse''s hoofs as he went by? |
16630 | Did you-- did you name it? |
16630 | Dinner- buckets? |
16630 | Do n''t I? 16630 Do n''t you see how you are going to be hoisted with your own ammunition?" |
16630 | Do n''t you? 16630 Do n''t you? |
16630 | Do they store it in our yards? |
16630 | Do we get the men and tools? |
16630 | Do we get them? |
16630 | Do we send back? |
16630 | Do you find it exciting enough to keep you interested, as far as you''ve gone? |
16630 | Do you honestly believe that, Ford? |
16630 | Do you know any good of them? |
16630 | Do you really think so small of a man''s work in the world, Miss Adair? |
16630 | Do you still remember her, as you do the conversation? |
16630 | Does a laboring man ever get out of here with any of his earnings? |
16630 | Does either one of you happen to have anything bigger than a pocket- knife in the way of a weapon? |
16630 | Fight it out, d''ye mean? |
16630 | Ford, have you any adequate idea of what a tremendous proposition you are up against? |
16630 | Forgotten you? 16630 Frisbie?" |
16630 | Getting these options, you mean? 16630 Had you written him that you were going away?" |
16630 | Has he forgotten how to run since he left the Plug Mountain? 16630 Have I told you in any of my earlier letters that I have personally earned the ill- will of General Manager North? |
16630 | Have we lost something? |
16630 | Have you a fraction of an idea that we are going to allow you to make a Jonah of yourself for us? 16630 Have you any idea of what is causing the delay?" |
16630 | Have you any more cartridges for this cannon of yours, Williams? |
16630 | Have you any notion who it was? |
16630 | Have you ever heard of a professional man- killer, Miss Adair; a man whose calling is that of a hired assassin? |
16630 | He''s the man who talked Frisbie into championing the new route? |
16630 | Hold on a minute; how is the water? |
16630 | How are things going? |
16630 | How can you say that? |
16630 | How did you expect I was ever going to be able to find you again, without even your name as a clue? |
16630 | How do you account for it? |
16630 | How do you know he is n''t? |
16630 | How do you two C. E.''s account for it? |
16630 | How far? |
16630 | How is that? |
16630 | How many are there of you up ahead? |
16630 | How much do we control-- that we are sure of? |
16630 | How much of a pull has he with the New York money- people? |
16630 | How soon do you think you can get that first train- load of grain in transit? |
16630 | How''s your track from this on? |
16630 | How? 16630 How?" |
16630 | I am so sorry we are not going to be here to see your triumph,she was saying; adding:"It is a triumph, is n''t it?"'' |
16630 | I fancy he has n''t been bored for the lack of work since I left New York, has he? |
16630 | I suppose the engineers at Saint''s Rest could put me up if I have to stay over night? |
16630 | I wint to Chicago to see him when the bid was in, and d''ye think he would lave me talk it over with him? 16630 I wonder what I''ve been doing now-- or leaving undone?" |
16630 | I? 16630 If he wanted to rub salt into your bruises, why did n''t he take you in the cart with him? |
16630 | Is Mr. Colbrith coming out this early in the summer? |
16630 | Is he still formidable to you? |
16630 | Is it Western-- or merely human? |
16630 | Is it to ditch it, ye mane? |
16630 | Is it uncle who is in the way?--or the pleasure party? |
16630 | Is n''t he the kind of man who would have taken the message to the other Garcia? |
16630 | Is n''t he? |
16630 | Is that a compliment? |
16630 | Is that sufficiently explicit? |
16630 | Is that what they are doing? |
16630 | Is the trouble likely to spread to the camps farther down? |
16630 | Is there anything else? 16630 Is there nothing at all?" |
16630 | It did, did n''t it, Brissac? |
16630 | It looks that way, does n''t it? 16630 It''s all settled?" |
16630 | It''s considerably difficult to sit up and pull your imagination on a man who has been decently good to you, is n''t it, Barclay? 16630 Just why?" |
16630 | Last of all? |
16630 | Merriam? 16630 Mind? |
16630 | Mr. North? 16630 Mr.--ah-- Ford,"he began critically,"is it necessary to have such a vast army of men as that to lay the track?" |
16630 | My fault? |
16630 | Near yours? |
16630 | No one else? |
16630 | None of your men are likely to drift in from the other way up the line? |
16630 | Not if I withdrew my-- ah-- objections? |
16630 | Now hold it steadily and pick up the line in the great loop.... Have you found it?... 16630 Now that''s a nice way to stir a fellow up, is n''t it?" |
16630 | Now, what in the mischief does all that mean? |
16630 | Now, what the deuce are you starting a New York bank account for? |
16630 | Of course he was quite willing to oblige you? 16630 Oh, will you? |
16630 | Oh, you did? |
16630 | Oh, you have n''t? 16630 One question, Mr. Eckstein; do they play fair with all concerned?" |
16630 | Or rather, why did you persist in keeping me to the old swords? |
16630 | Pretty well knocked out, Michael? |
16630 | Prophesy, Stuart: what comes next? |
16630 | Reckon he forgot something, and has to come back after it? |
16630 | Say, Mister Cock- o''-the- walk-- where do you hide all that muscle? |
16630 | Shall I take your message? 16630 Shall we assume that the one implies the other? |
16630 | Shall we go back now? |
16630 | Shall we wait for your aunt and the others? |
16630 | Shall you never be satisfied? |
16630 | Sho''you is n''t a newspapuh man? |
16630 | Shocked, are n''t you? |
16630 | So you are coming around to ask a favor of Ford? |
16630 | So you came to talk business, did you? |
16630 | Stuart, did you lose your temper? |
16630 | Tell me, Mr. Ford; is-- is she pretty? |
16630 | The MacMorrogh outfit? |
16630 | Then it is n''t a long bluff on your part? |
16630 | Then perhaps you will be good enough to explain your meaning? |
16630 | Then this is only a trumped- up excuse to make you stay here? |
16630 | Then why should Mr. North use it as an argument against you in speaking to Uncle Sidney? 16630 There is no such thing as mercy in business, is there, Mr. Ford? |
16630 | There''s something a bit curious about that-- you do n''t mind our talking shop like a pair of floor- walkers, do you, Miss Adair? 16630 Think you could climb over the coal with some dinner for the enginemen? |
16630 | To about how much, in figures, should you say? |
16630 | To help Misther Foord out? 16630 To knock a grain av sinse into thot Wicklow man?" |
16630 | To pay for the buckboards? |
16630 | To win what? |
16630 | Tricks? |
16630 | Under these conditions, I suppose it is up to me to wire the executive committee, withdrawing my objections to the MacMorroghs, is n''t it? |
16630 | Was it very bad-- last night? |
16630 | Well, Mr. Ford, what are we waiting for? |
16630 | Well, Mr. Ford,he began, somewhat breathless but triumphant,"are you fully satisfied?" |
16630 | Well, is n''t business the very heart and soul of the American ideal? |
16630 | Well, we go to this here Siding Number Twelve, do we? |
16630 | Well, what do we do? 16630 Well, what''s the cost to us?" |
16630 | Well, what''s wanted? |
16630 | Well,said the Westerner anxiously,"am I going to get it?" |
16630 | Well,''Checo, what did you find out? |
16630 | Well? |
16630 | Well? |
16630 | Well? |
16630 | Well? |
16630 | Were the others alarmed? |
16630 | Were we as near as that to a collision? |
16630 | Were you on the engine all the time? |
16630 | What am I to look for? |
16630 | What are the orders for to- day? |
16630 | What are they doing now? |
16630 | What are you going to do? |
16630 | What becomes of all your complaints of drunkenness and crime, when Mr. Colbrith can see with his own eyes what truly good people the MacMorroghs are? 16630 What do you mean by that, Mr. Ford? |
16630 | What do you suppose Eckstein was up to, sitting here all night, Jim? |
16630 | What do you think you know, Evans? |
16630 | What for? |
16630 | What for? |
16630 | What happens? 16630 What he overheard you telling Alicia?" |
16630 | What in the name o''thunder is the old man''s notion of goin''to the front with a picnic party and makin''a night run of it, at that, d''ye reckon? |
16630 | What in the name of common sense were they thinking of to send him out here? |
16630 | What is it? |
16630 | What is that Bible- saying about the shadow of a great rock in a thirsty land? |
16630 | What line? |
16630 | What made you buy it at all? |
16630 | What shall it be? |
16630 | What shall you do, Stuart? 16630 What were your reasons for making the change?" |
16630 | What will they try next? |
16630 | What''s come over you big bosses, all at once? |
16630 | What''s the matter now? |
16630 | What''s the matter with Olson? |
16630 | What''s your guess, Dick? |
16630 | What?--to- morrow? 16630 When does the board meet again? |
16630 | Where are you going? |
16630 | Where can I reach Ford? |
16630 | Where did you learn that trick? |
16630 | Where is Mr. Ford now? |
16630 | Where is your brother? |
16630 | Where was this party? |
16630 | Where was your brother then? |
16630 | Whereabouts are we now, Johnson? |
16630 | Whereabouts does it hit us this time? |
16630 | Which gives us a dead wire without any batteries,said Ford gloomily; and then:"Hold on-- aren''t there electric call- bells in this car, Adair?" |
16630 | Who is Crapsey? |
16630 | Who''s to know? |
16630 | Why are they hauling it away? |
16630 | Why ca n''t you? |
16630 | Why ca n''t you? |
16630 | Why do n''t you? |
16630 | Why should you put the burden of the decision upon poor me? |
16630 | Why would n''t you talk? |
16630 | Why, Alicia, girl-- see here: what do you imagine could happen to me? 16630 Why? |
16630 | Why? 16630 Why? |
16630 | Why? 16630 Why?" |
16630 | Will he sell us that stock in the Little Alicia, Charles Edward? |
16630 | Will it disarrange things so very much if the Nadia is taken to the''front''? |
16630 | Will nothing be done? |
16630 | Will you? 16630 Witnesses?" |
16630 | Would n''t Adair be a good safety- switch to throw in front of Mr. North and MacMorrogh in New York? |
16630 | Would n''t that jolt you? |
16630 | Would you do that for Uncle Sidney? 16630 Yes?" |
16630 | Yes? |
16630 | You are a''big boss,''too, are n''t you? |
16630 | You are going back to the West, I suppose? |
16630 | You are not afraid, are you? |
16630 | You are quite sure Mr. Gallagher wo n''t mind? |
16630 | You are sure Mr. Adair and Brissac are out of the way? |
16630 | You do n''t think you could postpone it? |
16630 | You foresaw all this before the contract was awarded? |
16630 | You have held your own strikers-- the men you can depend upon: how many do we count, all told? |
16630 | You kept a copy? |
16630 | You mean that he might have objected to your driver? 16630 You mean that the time is too short?" |
16630 | You mean--? |
16630 | You read_ Naught- naught- seven_? |
16630 | You said Gallagher ditched your car: did it block the track? |
16630 | You said it was perfectly legitimate, did n''t you? |
16630 | You say the camp has already gone dry? |
16630 | You t''ink- a he''s not- a sufficiently kill? 16630 You think he would call it off if he knew?" |
16630 | You wo n''t mind if I say that the name attracted me? 16630 You wo n''t wait to see what happens here?" |
16630 | You''ll let me know where to reach you from time to time, I suppose? |
16630 | You''re quite sure that is what is needed? |
16630 | You''re sure of that? |
16630 | You''ve had no word from him? |
16630 | You? 16630 Accordingly, Mr. Colbrith comes over here to see for himself: and what will he see? 16630 Actually tried to kill you in cold blood? 16630 Adair? |
16630 | Adair?" |
16630 | After that, who could connect him with the dead body of a man fished out of a river twenty, fifty, a hundred miles away? |
16630 | Alicia was looking down upon the town when she said:"What shall you do?" |
16630 | Alicia?" |
16630 | Am I making it clear?" |
16630 | And coming upon the heels of to- day''s sudden tumble--""What''s that?" |
16630 | And if we do n''t get relief?" |
16630 | And then, in a half- awed whisper:"Who is that dreadful, Grand- Opera- villain looking man he is talking to?" |
16630 | And then, more seriously:"What is your ambition? |
16630 | And then:"The ladies are quite well, I hope?" |
16630 | And then:"When are you going back?" |
16630 | And two hundred thousand would build a number of miles of ordinary railroad, would n''t it? |
16630 | And what conclusion will he arrive at? |
16630 | And where do_ I_ come in?" |
16630 | And, of course, she is a paragon of all the virtues?--an angel without the extremely inconvenient wings?" |
16630 | Answer me sir: when did you become interested in this mine?" |
16630 | Any word from Major Benson?" |
16630 | Are n''t you a little unfair?" |
16630 | Are n''t you the Sublime Porte-- the court of last resort-- the big boss-- over here?" |
16630 | Are the buckboards here for that?" |
16630 | Are we?" |
16630 | Are you going to let these stock- jobbing land- pirates on''Change gibbet you as a solemn warning to aspiring young promoters?" |
16630 | Are you still my boss?" |
16630 | Are you sure you have n''t been doing anything over here that you would n''t want Uncle Sidney to find out?" |
16630 | Brissac?" |
16630 | But I wonder if you could understand if I say that it will make it a thousand times harder for me?" |
16630 | But about the contract: you have n''t heard from the executive committee?" |
16630 | But are you sure about these Chicago terminals? |
16630 | But broadening the Plug Mountain to standard gauge does n''t put us into Copah this summer, does it?" |
16630 | But every now and then one is surprised into telling the truth, do n''t you think?" |
16630 | But just how bad is the report going to be?" |
16630 | But no matter; supposing I did?" |
16630 | But ought n''t Mr. Frisbie to get back to his work?" |
16630 | But what for, Stuart?--for heaven''s sake, what for?" |
16630 | But what of it? |
16630 | But what on top of earth are you driving at, Stuart?" |
16630 | But who''d be doin''this job betune dark an''mornin'', d''ye think?" |
16630 | By the way, how are the men coming?" |
16630 | Ca n''t you anticipate that much without endangering your bubble?" |
16630 | Ca n''t you come anyhow, and take a later train west?" |
16630 | Ca n''t you feel the Sunday- school atmosphere right here in the headquarters this morning? |
16630 | Can I see it with the glass?" |
16630 | Can you describe the symptoms?" |
16630 | Can you handle this without help from me?" |
16630 | Can you make it nine o''clock?" |
16630 | Can you make room for us?" |
16630 | Can you reach Ford or Mr. Colbrith by wire?" |
16630 | Can you spare the time to go to New York?" |
16630 | Colbrith?" |
16630 | Colbrith?" |
16630 | Could he afford to play the safe game and wait until the building capital should be cannily in Mr. Magnus''bank vaults? |
16630 | Could you sleep at all?" |
16630 | Did any one see you come back?" |
16630 | Did n''t I tell you that I had figured this thing out to the fourth decimal place? |
16630 | Did n''t your local people tell you?" |
16630 | Did you catch and hold the pick- and- shovel men from this camp? |
16630 | Do I understand that you wish to take the added risk of a night run, Mr. Colbrith? |
16630 | Do n''t you see what they will say then?--that you were afraid?" |
16630 | Do n''t you think we are getting too far behind the others?" |
16630 | Do n''t you want the figures first?" |
16630 | Do we go on? |
16630 | Do you ask me to believe that Uncle Sidney is his accomplice?" |
16630 | Do you attach any particular importance to the president''s trip over the extension?" |
16630 | Do you ever have such instantaneous and unreasoning hatreds at first sight?" |
16630 | Do you find the ten- thousand- foot breeze chilly? |
16630 | Do you go direct from here?" |
16630 | Do you imagine for a moment that you are the only engineer in the United States who can build railroads, Sir?" |
16630 | Do you know what is to be done to- day?" |
16630 | Do you know what that means? |
16630 | Do you know what the men call him out on the main line? |
16630 | Do you like it?" |
16630 | Do you remember that fellow we saw riding in on the Jack''s Canyon trail as we were coming back this afternoon?" |
16630 | Do you see anything of him?" |
16630 | Do you suppose Mr. North will be content with your resignation now?" |
16630 | Do you think I could make it win?" |
16630 | Do you want to drive back as we came? |
16630 | Does that clear up the doubt?" |
16630 | Does the report satisfy you?" |
16630 | Eckstein?" |
16630 | Eckstein?" |
16630 | Eckstein?" |
16630 | Failing the dinner, wo n''t you make a knife and fork with us at one o''clock?" |
16630 | Fifteen miles an hour? |
16630 | Ford did not mean to be ungracious to her-- what lover ever means to be curt to the one woman in all the world? |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Ford?" |
16630 | Frisbie?" |
16630 | From what I can learn, North has been an obstructor, all along, has n''t he?" |
16630 | Good- by, sweetheart, and-- may I?" |
16630 | Got that?" |
16630 | Had anything to eat?" |
16630 | Have I got to forfeit the money- making chance of a lifetime and go and drag that track into Copah with my own hands?" |
16630 | Have n''t you ever had a touch of it?" |
16630 | Have you ever stood on the front car platform of a train nearest to the engine and watched the jiggling draw- bar? |
16630 | Have you got the compelling club up your sleeve, as usual?" |
16630 | Have you seen the half- yearly report?" |
16630 | Have you sent the Nadia back to Denver for repairs?" |
16630 | Have you?" |
16630 | He has done it more than once since we left the end- of- track, and this time--""Yes?" |
16630 | He has n''t been very lenient with you, has he?" |
16630 | His hand- bag chanced to be the exact counterpart of Ford''s: what more natural than that he should make the mistake of taking the wrong one? |
16630 | His residence? |
16630 | How about the grade work on the detour-- your new line into Copah?" |
16630 | How do you suppose the present P. S- W. board would fare in such a fight?" |
16630 | How do you think my proposition is likely to strike the board?" |
16630 | How does that suit you?" |
16630 | How far has this forcing business gone? |
16630 | How is it with the rest of you?" |
16630 | How is your engine-- pretty good on the broad jump?" |
16630 | How many nights''sleep did you lose figuring that out?" |
16630 | How much authority is a director allowed-- at this altitude and distance from New York?" |
16630 | How much time did he give you to get out of pistol range?" |
16630 | How much time have you been allowing for that?" |
16630 | How near is it?" |
16630 | How near shall I let him come before I squander one of the two remaining cartridges on him?" |
16630 | How on earth did you manage to do it all at such long range?" |
16630 | How would that be? |
16630 | How would you like to take a hunting trip over on the wilderness side of the range? |
16630 | I go over to da car and bring- a you da proof,_ si_?" |
16630 | I presume you have no objection to going as my guest in the Naught- Seven?" |
16630 | I wonder if Pacheco could n''t make himself an errand over the Pass in the morning? |
16630 | I wonder if we could manage to cut in on that wire?" |
16630 | I''m not posing as a saint, or even as a muck- raker; but is n''t something due to the people who are paying the bills?" |
16630 | I-- I hope you hold a safe majority?" |
16630 | In the hot part of it he came to me and said,''Adair, will that western extension of yours be able to fry any fat out of Transcontinental?'' |
16630 | In twenty minutes I shall be riding for the MacMorroghs''camp, and when I get there--""You are going to ride back?--alone? |
16630 | Is it Misther Colbrith you''d be looking for?" |
16630 | Is it right for me to step aside and let an organized system of graft and thievery go on unchecked? |
16630 | Is n''t that about the way it strikes you?" |
16630 | Is that about it?" |
16630 | Is the bridge timber coming down all right now?" |
16630 | Is the track safe for it?" |
16630 | Is there any good reason, apart from the inconvenience, why our little pleasure party should n''t see your new railroad? |
16630 | Is there anything new in that quarter?" |
16630 | Is there nothing to be done?" |
16630 | It was Frisbie, and he asked a single question:"Say, Penfield, who was that fellow who rode around to the MacMorroghs''back door just after dark?" |
16630 | It was after they had chatted comfortably through to the coffee that the auditor said, blandly:"What are you down for, Ford?--anything special?" |
16630 | Leckhard?" |
16630 | Let me ask you: are you Mr. North''s man?" |
16630 | Let''s see-- where were we? |
16630 | Look down yonder at the Nadia-- wouldn''t that soothe you, now?" |
16630 | MacMorrogh?" |
16630 | Mackie?" |
16630 | May I see the tip end of the club?" |
16630 | Meanwhile, if these devils have scouts out--""Yes?" |
16630 | Mr. Ford-- have you got this far into it without finding out?" |
16630 | Mr. North is general manager, and I suppose his jurisdiction will now be extended to cover the new line, wo n''t it?" |
16630 | Must we all stay in the car as you intimated yesterday?" |
16630 | No? |
16630 | North?" |
16630 | Now find me that shorthand person quickly, will you?" |
16630 | Oh, why in the name of the pitiful Christ do n''t they drop it and run?" |
16630 | Or do we hang it up until we find out where we are''at''?" |
16630 | Or has it concluded to lie down in the harness?" |
16630 | Or is there a leak at our end of the line as well as at yours?" |
16630 | Or will you let me find you an easier road to the mouth of Horse Creek?" |
16630 | Or would the enemy devise some assault that would keep it down in spite of the money- earning, dividend- promising facts? |
16630 | Or would they have to stop and turn out the wretched shovelmen again? |
16630 | Over a construction track-- in the night?" |
16630 | Please give orders accordingly, will you?" |
16630 | Reckon we''ll get away from here before the old man throws a sure- enough fit?" |
16630 | Say, Ford; does n''t that appeal to your sense of humor?" |
16630 | Say, Johnson, what do you do when you want''em to run faster-- pull this string?" |
16630 | Shall we call it a truce for the present?" |
16630 | Shall we let it rest at that?" |
16630 | Should he draw out of the losing battle with North and his fellow grafters, and thereby save his chance of winning Alicia Adair? |
16630 | So on through half a dozen polite time- killers to the reluctant query: What could the general manager do for Mr. Adair? |
16630 | Suppose you come up to the club and have luncheon with me?" |
16630 | That is fifty dollars fine in your native Tennessee, is n''t it?" |
16630 | That will bring things to a focus beautifully, wo n''t it? |
16630 | That would be in accordance with your point of view, would n''t it?" |
16630 | The question is, will he attempt to run the extension to- night?" |
16630 | The vice- president decided swiftly that Eckstein was the man; but how to get him to the MacMorrogh headquarters before Adair should arrive? |
16630 | Their bid was the lowest, was n''t it?" |
16630 | Then Mr. Colbrith is n''t alone?" |
16630 | Then again to Ford:"What is to be done about the Riley mix- up?" |
16630 | Then he added:"You are not having any trouble with the MacMorroghs, are you?" |
16630 | Then he looked up to say:"What was Ford doing at Horse Creek that night? |
16630 | Then he said:"Is it possible that you had Penfield for a spy on you as long as you did without working out his cipher code? |
16630 | Then suddenly:"Where is your mine?--the mine with my name?" |
16630 | Then, and not until then, Adair said:"Is that all, for the present? |
16630 | Then:"She has money?" |
16630 | Then:"There''s the two naygurs in the car: what av thim, Misther Eckstein?" |
16630 | There was genuine human interest in her voice when she said gently:"Would you mind telling me about it?" |
16630 | To be able to buy what your neighbor can not afford?" |
16630 | Was Gallagher''s engine still on the rails?" |
16630 | Was I rude? |
16630 | Was Mr. Ford''s business of a routine nature? |
16630 | Was it before or after your purchase here that you decided upon the change of route? |
16630 | Well, then what happens? |
16630 | What are these-- er-- perquisites?" |
16630 | What are they for?" |
16630 | What are we waiting for?" |
16630 | What became of Mr. Garcia afterward?" |
16630 | What did it matter to any one if he chose to put ten thousand of the sixty- odd on a turn of the Little Alicia card? |
16630 | What do we do?" |
16630 | What do you say? |
16630 | What do you say?" |
16630 | What has come over you?" |
16630 | What if the stock should not go up as prefigured?--if the bonds could not be floated? |
16630 | What is the inference?" |
16630 | What is the matter with the MacMorroghs?" |
16630 | What is the matter with us-- specifically, I mean?" |
16630 | What is the matter with your prescription? |
16630 | What is this terrible man doing out here?" |
16630 | What made you change your mind?" |
16630 | What possible difference could it make?" |
16630 | What shall you say to him?" |
16630 | What the devil is he back here for? |
16630 | What was delaying him? |
16630 | What was happening then?" |
16630 | What were your reasons, Stuart?" |
16630 | What would Alicia say? |
16630 | What''s the matter with a trusty go- between?" |
16630 | What''s the news from New York?" |
16630 | What''s the use of your being the assistant to the president, I''d like to know?" |
16630 | What''s this I hear about an accident at Horse Creek? |
16630 | What''s to prevent their making that traffic contract with the Mormon people right now?" |
16630 | When am I to be allowed to chase in and pay my respects to your-- er-- aunt, and-- and Miss Alicia?" |
16630 | When did you become interested in this mine?"] |
16630 | When do you go back to your fighting ground?" |
16630 | When it was once more in full swing, she asked quickly:"What is the programme for to- day? |
16630 | When they have blown us up, I wonder how they will account to Uncle Sidney for the loss of his car?" |
16630 | Where do you suppose all those people came from?" |
16630 | Where have you been?" |
16630 | Who gave you leave to fall in love with my little sister, I''d like to know?" |
16630 | Who is Riley''s interpreter now?" |
16630 | Who is in the Nadia, besides Ford?" |
16630 | Who knows but I shall have time to save the day for the company after all? |
16630 | Who sniped it, do you suppose?" |
16630 | Who''s got a gun?" |
16630 | Why are you so foolish as to talk about resigning? |
16630 | Why did n''t you say that at first? |
16630 | Why do n''t you come to life and answer''em?" |
16630 | Why do n''t you go up to the Brown and have it out with him?" |
16630 | Why is n''t Ford on the ground attending to his railroad building and straightening things out? |
16630 | Will it not relieve you of all responsibility if you will call a meeting of the directors, and let me lay this absurd proposal of mine before it? |
16630 | Will you come? |
16630 | Will you order this car out, or shall I?" |
16630 | Will your assassin keep on feeling for you?" |
16630 | Wo n''t you please try and keep him going?" |
16630 | Would it be necessary to discharge somebody in order to have his commands obeyed? |
16630 | Would n''t that make you weep and howl?" |
16630 | Would the pressure suffice for the final dash which should clear the cutting? |
16630 | Would the stock go up? |
16630 | XX THE CONSPIRATORS"How far do we go, and what do we do when we get there?" |
16630 | You can do that without stopping trains, ca n''t you?" |
16630 | You do, do n''t you?" |
16630 | You expected something of the sort, did n''t you?" |
16630 | You may remember that I told you I had left a man in my place on the Plug Mountain-- Frisbie? |
16630 | You said he was in England, did n''t you?" |
16630 | You wished to join the party in the Nadia?" |
16630 | You would n''t believe it of a grown man, would you?" |
16630 | You would n''t want to see Mr. Ford getting it in the neck, would you?" |
16630 | You''re sure it wo n''t be given away from the New York end?" |
16630 | [ Illustration: Eckstein''s pencil had stopped and he was gasping for breath]"Why not?" |
16630 | have n''t you good and plenty, without calling upon me? |
16630 | what are you doing here?" |
16630 | what are you going to do?" |
20155 | ''Member the mill, when he burn down? |
20155 | A bit melodramatic, are n''t you? |
20155 | A doctor? |
20155 | A friend of mine? |
20155 | A mill? |
20155 | A priest? |
20155 | A right? |
20155 | About the murder? |
20155 | About what, Agnes? |
20155 | About what? |
20155 | Ah, why? 20155 Ah,_ oui_?" |
20155 | And I signed these, did I? |
20155 | And are you chattel? |
20155 | And has he, what you say, come to? |
20155 | And he? |
20155 | And the taxi- driver? 20155 And the woman-- she has caused no trouble?" |
20155 | And who has been bringing you flowers? |
20155 | And you are not afraid? |
20155 | And you are willing to sign it? |
20155 | And you''re tacklin''it for the first time at this season o''th''year? |
20155 | And you-- was it your fault? |
20155 | Anybody sick? |
20155 | Are you afraid? |
20155 | Are you from a newspaper? |
20155 | Ask him,''Do you like me better than anybody you ever--''"What sense is there to all this? |
20155 | At the mill? 20155 Awake?" |
20155 | Barry,she asked,"what day''s to- morrow?" |
20155 | Beg pardon? |
20155 | Boston? 20155 Both?" |
20155 | But I am-- don''t you believe me? |
20155 | But how am I going to get to the other side of the range? 20155 But is that any of my affair?" |
20155 | But it shall not be, eh? |
20155 | But they are available then? |
20155 | But what can they do on five acres? 20155 But what with, Ba''tiste? |
20155 | But what, Ba''tiste? 20155 But why should trees grow spikes?" |
20155 | But why the spikes? |
20155 | But why? 20155 But why?" |
20155 | But you have n''t given it up? |
20155 | Can you-- will you forgive me? |
20155 | Coals of fire, eh? |
20155 | Come in here, will you? 20155 Could you tell if a man cut a tree to get the greatest footage? |
20155 | Crestline? |
20155 | Did you speak? |
20155 | Do n''t I? 20155 Do n''t you know your name?" |
20155 | Do n''t you know? |
20155 | Do n''t you think,he asked, as they walked along,"that you''d better be going back? |
20155 | Do you know it? |
20155 | Do you know it? |
20155 | Do you like me? |
20155 | Do you live out here? |
20155 | Do you remember yet who you are? |
20155 | Do you stand in the cup of his hand that he shall tell you when to rise and when to sit, when to walk and where to go? |
20155 | Do you suppose it would help? |
20155 | Do you want help? |
20155 | Eet is the lie, eh? |
20155 | Eh, Medaine? |
20155 | Even if she told hidden things? |
20155 | Even though you should happen to be the bone of contention-- and the butt of what may be a good deal of unpleasant newspaper notoriety? |
20155 | Ever made it before? |
20155 | Gas? |
20155 | Give it up? |
20155 | Given in the presence of the sheriff, of Ba''tiste Renaud, of myself, and the various citizens of Tabernacle that you see here? |
20155 | Given up? |
20155 | Gone? 20155 Gone? |
20155 | Good? 20155 Grateful? |
20155 | Has he shown any signs yet? |
20155 | Have I a manager? |
20155 | Have I one? |
20155 | Have they been gone long? |
20155 | Have you given him his directions? |
20155 | Have you read that message? |
20155 | Have you seen them? |
20155 | He is the man, eh? 20155 He knows all about it?" |
20155 | He was your cousin? |
20155 | He? 20155 Hidden? |
20155 | Hiding? 20155 Honestly, Ba''tiste?" |
20155 | Honestly? 20155 Honestly? |
20155 | How about hay for the cattle? |
20155 | How big? |
20155 | How can I help it? |
20155 | How do you know there''ll be a next time? |
20155 | How long are you going to be in town? |
20155 | How you intend to fin''this out? |
20155 | How''d you get hurt? |
20155 | How,she asked the question as though with an effort,"how were you cleared?" |
20155 | How? 20155 Huh? |
20155 | Hunch, you mean? |
20155 | I have n''t made any objection, have I? |
20155 | I suppose I''m never to see anything of you? |
20155 | I wonder--it was a hope, but a faint one--"if she could be coming back to make amends, Ba''tiste? |
20155 | I''m better-- see? 20155 I''ve been sick-- my baby-- where''s my baby?" |
20155 | I? 20155 I? |
20155 | I? 20155 I? |
20155 | I? |
20155 | If you do n''t mind? 20155 In court? |
20155 | Indeed? |
20155 | Is eet that some of us do our part, while others store up for emergency? 20155 Is eet that the world is all unjust?" |
20155 | Is it fair to believe only one side of a thing? |
20155 | Is n''t it a bad bet, Ba''tiste? 20155 Is n''t it lonely?" |
20155 | Is the''phone working-- to Montview? |
20155 | Is there ever a time when the operator is n''t there? |
20155 | Is to- morrow time enough? |
20155 | It could n''t be that he''s made some arrangement with her-- about her forest lands? |
20155 | Know anything about firin''an engine? |
20155 | May I bring her here, to repeat that before me? 20155 May I talk to him privately? |
20155 | Mebbe you make love? |
20155 | Medaine? 20155 Medaine? |
20155 | Medaine? |
20155 | Miss Jierdon is the same one who is out here? |
20155 | Mr. Mason? 20155 Murder? |
20155 | Murdering him? |
20155 | My margin of profit? 20155 Need any food?" |
20155 | No? 20155 No? |
20155 | Nor the M''sieu Blackburn? 20155 Not past Tollifer?" |
20155 | Of what? |
20155 | Of your own free will, without threats or violence? |
20155 | Oh, is it? |
20155 | On good terms, are n''t you? 20155 On the Death Trail? |
20155 | One- eleven-- kicked over? |
20155 | One? 20155 Our flume?" |
20155 | Out here? 20155 Over Hazard Pass? |
20155 | Over Hazard? |
20155 | Perhaps M''sieu Thayer has studied the practice of medicine? |
20155 | Practically the same thing, are n''t they? 20155 Probably coming out to look over things, then?" |
20155 | Proof? 20155 Queer question, is n''t it?" |
20155 | Rawlins? |
20155 | Remember what? |
20155 | Sarcastic, are n''t you? |
20155 | See anything in my palm besides thorns? |
20155 | See, Golemar? 20155 See? |
20155 | See? |
20155 | She does n''t know any one but Thayer-- and what if she does? 20155 She had died?" |
20155 | She is like the Judas, eh? |
20155 | She testified in your behalf? |
20155 | She? 20155 Signs? |
20155 | Simple, is n''t it? |
20155 | So? 20155 So? |
20155 | So? |
20155 | So? |
20155 | So? |
20155 | Sorry? 20155 That''s a--""See, sheriff? |
20155 | That''s all true, is n''t it, Thayer? |
20155 | That''s his writing, is n''t it? |
20155 | Thayer''s been going with Medaine a good deal, has n''t he? |
20155 | The Blackburn crowd? |
20155 | The copy? 20155 The district attorney?" |
20155 | The name, please? |
20155 | The new road? 20155 The notice? |
20155 | The one that''s tunneling Carrow Peak? 20155 The snow?" |
20155 | Then Thayer--"Why not? |
20155 | Then it is n''t history? |
20155 | Then what can it be? |
20155 | Then why did n''t you produce them at the trial? |
20155 | Then will you please allow me to give you twelve thousand dollars in profits? 20155 Then you noticed no one around the place?" |
20155 | Then you''ll be with them? |
20155 | Then, what are you kicking about? |
20155 | There would n''t be any chance at the tunnel either, would there? 20155 They''re not going to do it-- it''s the M. P.& S. L.""Through the tunnel?" |
20155 | They''ve--? |
20155 | This one''s the same, is n''t it? |
20155 | To France? |
20155 | Was that heem talking? |
20155 | Well, boy, what is it this time? |
20155 | Well, then, who are you? |
20155 | Well,she asked, in a sudden fawning manner,"are n''t you glad to see me, Barry? |
20155 | Well? 20155 Well? |
20155 | Well? |
20155 | Were you really fooling, Ba''tiste-- or shall we continue? |
20155 | What contracts have we in the files? |
20155 | What day is to- morrow? |
20155 | What day is tomorrow? |
20155 | What do you mean? |
20155 | What have you got there? |
20155 | What in thunder is the big idea? |
20155 | What is there to do? |
20155 | What on earth can it all mean? |
20155 | What right? 20155 What shall I do? |
20155 | What she say? |
20155 | What was the idea? |
20155 | What with? |
20155 | What you do? |
20155 | What you know about lumber? |
20155 | What you mean? |
20155 | What''s been going on here? |
20155 | What''s happened? 20155 What''s that?" |
20155 | What''s the use of taking me into town? |
20155 | What''s this mean? |
20155 | What''s wrong about that? 20155 What''s wrong?" |
20155 | What? |
20155 | What? |
20155 | When is all this going to happen? |
20155 | When would I get there-- if I could make the Pass all right? |
20155 | Where are you staying? |
20155 | Where did you find it? 20155 Where do you get that''our''idea? |
20155 | Where on earth am I going to live, Barry? |
20155 | Where you get that? 20155 Where?" |
20155 | Where? |
20155 | Which car does the engine crews sleep in? |
20155 | Who is this man? |
20155 | Who? 20155 Who?" |
20155 | Who? |
20155 | Who? |
20155 | Whose would you think it was? |
20155 | Why not? |
20155 | Why not? |
20155 | Why not? |
20155 | Why not? |
20155 | Why they no come, huh? |
20155 | Why you look so funny? 20155 Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Will you give me a promise-- if I give you one? |
20155 | Will you go with me while I telegraph? |
20155 | Will you? |
20155 | Wonder if she''s bringing them to me? |
20155 | Would you care to go to the village to- night? 20155 You ca n''t use your other hand, can you?" |
20155 | You can let it out and sell the stumpage if you want to? |
20155 | You do come over here often, do n''t you? |
20155 | You do n''t believe it? 20155 You got my telegram?" |
20155 | You hate me, do n''t you? |
20155 | You hear heem? |
20155 | You hear, Golemar? |
20155 | You know a lot-- and you want the rest, so you can pay me back, do n''t you? 20155 You know your own writing, do n''t you?" |
20155 | You like her, eh? 20155 You mean your brain?" |
20155 | You never learned with what murder case it was connected? |
20155 | You payin''attention to me-- or that guy they''re cartin''off? 20155 You see M''sieu Thayer? |
20155 | You spoke of a suit you might bring when you came in here? |
20155 | You sure? |
20155 | You understand, Thayer, that this is your written confession? |
20155 | You understood me? |
20155 | You would rather eat alone? |
20155 | You''d admit it if you saw it? |
20155 | You''ll tell about what? |
20155 | You''re not ill? |
20155 | You''re not,and the old lawyer smiled quizzically,"going to favor your dearly beloved friend with the order, are you?" |
20155 | You''re still working on the engine? |
20155 | You''ve got me, have n''t you, Barry? |
20155 | You-- don''t-- say, you''re Barry Houston, are n''t you? |
20155 | You-- you do n''t know who the men were? |
20155 | Your story? |
20155 | _ Veritas_? 20155 A moment later--How''s the patient?" |
20155 | A thunderous voice was booming belligerently from the distance:"You lie-- un''stan''? |
20155 | Ah, no? |
20155 | Ai n''t daft, are you?" |
20155 | Am I right, or am I wrong, when I say that you were striving very hard, for a record that would aid you in the election?" |
20155 | Am I?" |
20155 | And Thayer must be combatted-- but how? |
20155 | And are n''t you taking on the biggest sort of job now?" |
20155 | And does Ba''teese need proof? |
20155 | And if she keeps her promise--""She?" |
20155 | And if there is something in his past to be ashamed of, is n''t it best that we simply remain that way? |
20155 | And the other name?" |
20155 | And the words seem to come unbidden:"Does it matter?" |
20155 | And then who will build a railroad switch that can negotiate the hills to the mill?" |
20155 | And to have M''sieu Thayer take his place? |
20155 | And when did M''sieu Thayer become_ l''M''sieu Doctaire_? |
20155 | And who should be more willing than he? |
20155 | And why should you ask? |
20155 | Any of you ever been there?" |
20155 | Are n''t you going to kiss me?" |
20155 | Are there any stumpage contracts?" |
20155 | Are you all alone?" |
20155 | Are you still willing-- now?" |
20155 | Are you sure you do n''t remember anything--?" |
20155 | At last:"What is it?" |
20155 | At last:"You like her, eh?" |
20155 | Ba''tiste,"he called softly,"what kind of an operator is this fellow?" |
20155 | Barry Houston, huh? |
20155 | But Ba''teese--""What?" |
20155 | But I know that I''ve not given any lease, and I''ve not sold any stumpage and--""Then, what''s this?" |
20155 | But does Ba''teese stop? |
20155 | But has he? |
20155 | But if you don''t-- Ba''tiste, how much of it do you mean when you say you are a man''s friend?" |
20155 | But in the absence of any one else, what should a person think?" |
20155 | But now--"She-- she did n''t tell you anything before she went?" |
20155 | But perhaps you know the whole story?" |
20155 | But so far--""Yes?" |
20155 | But the cold voice of Thayer cut in:"And he has n''t regained consciousness?" |
20155 | But the villager had repeated his question:"Do n''t belong around here?" |
20155 | But wait-- where does the Father live?" |
20155 | But we gamble, eh,_ mon_ Baree?" |
20155 | But what else?" |
20155 | But would such a statement hold in court? |
20155 | But would that time arrive soon enough? |
20155 | But you say you no know lumber?" |
20155 | But--""And you say two other cars have gone through?" |
20155 | But--""_ Oui_?" |
20155 | CHAPTER VII"Why?" |
20155 | Ca n''t I keep them just the same-- to put on the table or something?" |
20155 | Could you know if the sawyer robbed you of fifty feet on ever''log? |
20155 | Did I? |
20155 | Did n''t Ba''tiste tell you? |
20155 | Did n''t any one see?" |
20155 | Did you ever lie all day and listen to the wind shriek, waiting for somebody who did n''t come-- with your dead baby in your arms? |
20155 | Do n''t feel that way about it? |
20155 | Do n''t you know what that means? |
20155 | Do n''t you remember, sir; you signed it, together with a lease for the flume site and lake?" |
20155 | Do n''t you remember?" |
20155 | Do n''t you? |
20155 | Do n''t you?" |
20155 | Do we understand each other?" |
20155 | Do you know any one named Jenkins, who is a notary public?" |
20155 | Do you mean a complete outfit,--planers and all that sort of thing?" |
20155 | Do you promise?" |
20155 | Do you remember my case?" |
20155 | Do you suppose they''ve given it up? |
20155 | Do you understand?" |
20155 | Do you want me to die too-- or do you want me to live and tell you why I did the things I did? |
20155 | Do you want to add murder to murder? |
20155 | Do you want to know who was back of everything? |
20155 | Do you want to punish me more? |
20155 | Do you? |
20155 | Does Ba''teese fol''his hands? |
20155 | Eh, Golemar?" |
20155 | Eh, Golemar?" |
20155 | Eh? |
20155 | Eh? |
20155 | Eh? |
20155 | Eh? |
20155 | Eh?" |
20155 | Eh?" |
20155 | Golemar, you hear, eh? |
20155 | Got me?" |
20155 | Guess you forgot your identity for a minute, did n''t you? |
20155 | Had he been the man in the woods,--the one who had stood silhouetted on the hill top? |
20155 | Had it been Worthington? |
20155 | Had it been a ruse? |
20155 | Had she recovered? |
20155 | Had she too gone to Tollifer, perhaps on a later trip of the plow? |
20155 | Had the excuse of a headache been made only to cover feelings that had been deeply injured? |
20155 | Has anything happened to Agnes?" |
20155 | Has something gone wrong?" |
20155 | Have I taken that down correctly, Thayer?" |
20155 | Have he fool heem too?" |
20155 | Have n''t I always been near you when you''ve needed me? |
20155 | Have n''t I had punishment enough? |
20155 | Have you food enough for Hurd''s?" |
20155 | Have you talked to her?" |
20155 | He had been right then; the message had not been for him; instead it had been intended decidedly_ not_ for him and it meant-- what? |
20155 | He turned at last to Ba''tiste, to ask tritely what he knew could not be answered:"But how did it happen, Ba''tiste? |
20155 | He understands English?" |
20155 | Hear me, where you get that?" |
20155 | Hear that? |
20155 | Heh? |
20155 | Houston bit down a retort and forced himself to the question:"How long will it take you to get out of here?" |
20155 | How big a telegraph office is there at Tabernacle?" |
20155 | How many of you will go?" |
20155 | How much of the lake does she own?" |
20155 | How''d you find him?" |
20155 | Huh? |
20155 | Huh?" |
20155 | I did n''t continually ask you for the name of the man you''d killed? |
20155 | I do n''t act crazy, or anything like that, do I?" |
20155 | I do n''t remember--""Did n''t I tell you?" |
20155 | I have n''t given them--""You''re the owner of the land, are n''t you?" |
20155 | I say to Golemar,''We will closer go,_ ne c''est pas_?'' |
20155 | I speak to him when I meet him; is n''t that enough? |
20155 | I suppose you''ll go to Denver in the morning for new saws?" |
20155 | I-- did he tell?" |
20155 | I--""Do you hear anything from Crestline-- about conditions up there?" |
20155 | I--""That was your child, then?" |
20155 | I--?" |
20155 | If you should say to a lumberjack to fell a tree at the spring of the root, would you know whether he did it or not? |
20155 | If you''ll only--""Would you guarantee the truth of anything she should tell me?" |
20155 | In the first place, how had Thayer known that he was on the way from the East? |
20155 | In the meanwhile--"he turned anxiously, almost piteously,"do you care to go with me, Ba''tiste?" |
20155 | Is eet putty that you are made of? |
20155 | Is eet that you are afraid? |
20155 | Is eet that your teeth are on your tongue, to keep eet from the truth? |
20155 | Is he a friend?" |
20155 | Is it hers?" |
20155 | Is n''t that right? |
20155 | Is n''t that the truth? |
20155 | Is she here? |
20155 | Is that agreeable?" |
20155 | Is that it?" |
20155 | Is that right?" |
20155 | Is that sufficient evidence that I know what I''m talking about?" |
20155 | It does n''t seem quite natural--""What?" |
20155 | It''s May, is n''t it?" |
20155 | It''s been five or six hours now, has n''t it?" |
20155 | Live hereabouts--?" |
20155 | M''sieu Houston shall bid lower than--""How, Ba''tiste?" |
20155 | Make love to him?" |
20155 | Many time I have seen it--"he waved a hand--"across the way,_ ne c''est pas_? |
20155 | May I ask you what your margin of profit is at your machinery company?" |
20155 | May I inquire if on that night you saw Fred Thayer?" |
20155 | May I see her?" |
20155 | Maybe I can walk over there; it''s only a mile or two, is n''t it?" |
20155 | Mebbe they think they whip us,_ oui_? |
20155 | Mebbe--"he said it hopefully,"mebbe you like Medaine, huh?" |
20155 | No? |
20155 | Now what you want me to do?" |
20155 | Now, is n''t that the truth?" |
20155 | Now,"as though the subject had been dismissed,"what mus''Ba''teese do?" |
20155 | Now-- what is it you look for?" |
20155 | Of what?" |
20155 | Of what?" |
20155 | Or had it meant a blind to veil real, serious illness? |
20155 | See that there little puff o''smoke? |
20155 | See? |
20155 | See?" |
20155 | See?" |
20155 | Shall we take the chance?" |
20155 | Shall we tell heem, eh? |
20155 | Take her to a priest-- please, Barry-- for what you once thought I was? |
20155 | Take my baby--""And keep your secret, Agnes? |
20155 | Tell me--"and there was the politeness of emergency in her tones--"is there any need for women in Tabernacle? |
20155 | That is-- if you really want to go through with it?" |
20155 | That was she I heard talking?" |
20155 | That''s all right, is n''t it, Thayer?" |
20155 | That''s the way you gave it to me, is n''t it, Thayer?" |
20155 | That''s your name, huh? |
20155 | Thayer? |
20155 | The Blackburn crowd has n''t given up the ghost yet?" |
20155 | The bid?" |
20155 | The voice went on,"Gained consciousness yet?" |
20155 | The woman had turned angrily toward Barry;"What right has he to talk this way? |
20155 | Then I slept, did n''t I?" |
20155 | Then he rose at a call from without:"Are you ready?" |
20155 | Then take this message to every newspaper in the city:"''Ca n''t you help us? |
20155 | Then the voice came, rumbling, yet pleasant:"He no remember, eh?" |
20155 | Then, as he started away,"May I see you, Ba''tiste, sometime to- night?" |
20155 | Then, at last, forcing himself to the subject, Houston asked a question:"Where is he?" |
20155 | Then, by''m''by, Jacques Robinette come too, with his petite Medaine--""That''s the girl who was here?" |
20155 | Then, his mouth full of crisply fried bacon, he waved a hand and spluttered with a sudden inspiration:"What you do, now?" |
20155 | Then,"But Ba''-teese he know-- see?" |
20155 | Then--""Yes?" |
20155 | Then:"Are you afraid-- of yourself?" |
20155 | Then:"Do you know the Pass?" |
20155 | There came a murmur, almost whispered:"Wonder what the damn fool came out here about? |
20155 | There is n''t another mill around here?" |
20155 | There''s clothing?" |
20155 | They''re--""Have I asked you about anything?" |
20155 | Twentieth, is n''t it?" |
20155 | Un''stan''? |
20155 | Un''stan''? |
20155 | Un''stan''? |
20155 | Un''stand? |
20155 | Understand?" |
20155 | Wait-- will you give me a chance at something?" |
20155 | Want to walk a piece down the road-- with me, Medaine?" |
20155 | Was she honest? |
20155 | Was she sincere? |
20155 | We are the watchmen, yes?" |
20155 | We have to build the new plant, yes,_ oui_? |
20155 | We might do that, but how on earth would we ever keep up with the rest? |
20155 | We shall take Medaine,_ oui_? |
20155 | What I say to you? |
20155 | What did he say? |
20155 | What do you know about Thayer?" |
20155 | What do you mean?" |
20155 | What do you suppose it can mean? |
20155 | What had become of Medaine? |
20155 | What on earth will we do it with?" |
20155 | What say?" |
20155 | What was the deal?" |
20155 | What were you going to say?" |
20155 | What''s gone wrong?" |
20155 | What''s that to me?" |
20155 | What''s that? |
20155 | What''s that?" |
20155 | What''s the money for; running expenses?" |
20155 | What''s the result? |
20155 | When he spoke, Barry thought that he discerned a tone of enthusiasm, of hope:"Do they ever get over it?" |
20155 | When that shall be? |
20155 | When''s he coming again?" |
20155 | Where is Miss Jierdon? |
20155 | Where is the gun with which she shot her? |
20155 | Where the money to keep things going? |
20155 | Where then is the ten thousand dollar she took-- if she kill my Julienne? |
20155 | Where was the machinery to be obtained? |
20155 | Where will they get their lumber?" |
20155 | Where you headed for?" |
20155 | Where''s the axe? |
20155 | Where''s the notice?" |
20155 | Where? |
20155 | Where?" |
20155 | Who is n''t, on the bottom of his feet?" |
20155 | Who''s J. C. Blackburn of Chicago?" |
20155 | Whose is it?" |
20155 | Why had it not been used against him? |
20155 | Why not? |
20155 | Why should you stand with a frown on your face? |
20155 | Why you act like that when I talk about murder? |
20155 | Why you do eet?" |
20155 | Why you get pale, huh? |
20155 | Why you get pale--?" |
20155 | Why you get pale?" |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why? |
20155 | Why?" |
20155 | Why?" |
20155 | Why?" |
20155 | Why?" |
20155 | Will you help strap her to my pack?" |
20155 | Will you lend me Lost Wing to run an errand? |
20155 | Will you please take my message?" |
20155 | Will you tell her?" |
20155 | Will you--?" |
20155 | With a hundred kinds of birds to keep things going? |
20155 | With the trout leaping in the streams in the summer time, and a good gun in the hollow of your arm in the winter? |
20155 | Wo n''t you promise for me? |
20155 | Wo n''t you, Barry? |
20155 | Wo n''t you? |
20155 | Wonder if he''s wise?" |
20155 | Wonder what I''m stepping into?" |
20155 | Would it be impertinent to ask where you had been?" |
20155 | Would they have enough men? |
20155 | Yes-- what this mean? |
20155 | Yes? |
20155 | Yes? |
20155 | Yes?" |
20155 | You ca n''t even remember the night you murdered your own cousin, can you?" |
20155 | You ca n''t remember when all this happened?" |
20155 | You came from Boston?" |
20155 | You do n''t remember what time of the year it was, or how long ago?" |
20155 | You do n''t think he had anything to do with it?" |
20155 | You fellows are going to sleep in town to- night, ai n''t you?" |
20155 | You go Boston to- night?" |
20155 | You have no seen the M''sieu Thayer during all the storm?" |
20155 | You have no seen them?" |
20155 | You have trouble? |
20155 | You hear Ba''teese, huh? |
20155 | You hear, Golemar?" |
20155 | You hear?" |
20155 | You heard what that fellow said-- that they had the woods, the lake and the flume to use as they pleased? |
20155 | You know heem?" |
20155 | You know that, do n''t you?" |
20155 | You know the way back? |
20155 | You like the petite Medaine?" |
20155 | You mean he''s run away?" |
20155 | You no like Thayer?" |
20155 | You no nev''see her before?" |
20155 | You see people here today,_ oui_, yes? |
20155 | You see those people? |
20155 | You see, the petite Medaine? |
20155 | You think she is the angel, yes,_ oui_? |
20155 | You think there is no chance, eh? |
20155 | You want me to tell, do n''t you? |
20155 | You wanted a conviction-- wasn''t that it?" |
20155 | You will sleep here?" |
20155 | You worry, huh? |
20155 | You''ll take good care of him?" |
20155 | You''ll tell her why I came out here-- you''ll tell her about the baby, wo n''t you? |
20155 | You''ve been taking care of her, have n''t you? |
20155 | You-- you have n''t fired me, have you?" |
20155 | You-- you''re not going to let it stay there? |
20155 | You? |
20155 | Your memory came back awful quick, did n''t it? |
20155 | _ Bon_? |
20155 | _ Ne c''est pas_, Medaine?" |
20155 | _ Ne c''est pas_? |
20155 | _ Oui_, yes? |
20155 | _ Oui_? |
20155 | _ Oui_? |
20155 | _ Oui_? |
20155 | he demanded, in an echo of Ba''tiste''s own thundering manner,"shall we stand here and weep? |
40607 | A friend of yours? |
40607 | A missionary? 40607 A reverend doctor?" |
40607 | Afraid? |
40607 | Again? 40607 Ai n''t I got a few vit me? |
40607 | Always? |
40607 | And that breakfast,said Ashton,"lasted till the train started, eh?" |
40607 | And you wo n''t resist? |
40607 | Any relation to the Duke? |
40607 | Are n''t they? |
40607 | Are n''t you going to use it? |
40607 | Are you sure he''s a nice man? |
40607 | Are you sure? |
40607 | Awf''lly kind of you,said Wedgewood,"but how do you make that out?" |
40607 | Ba- ath tub? |
40607 | Boiled or fried? |
40607 | Brile coup- hic- le? |
40607 | But a man ca n''t change his name by marrying, can he? 40607 But are n''t there quite a few of them?" |
40607 | But ca n''t you hook me up? |
40607 | But for Dr. Temple of all people----"Why should n''t a doctor? 40607 But here''s the license-- see?" |
40607 | But how can I telegraph him? 40607 But how can I? |
40607 | But to oblige me? 40607 But what if she brings her mother along? |
40607 | But what if your former wife or my former husband should have a detective on board? |
40607 | But what will the country do without you? |
40607 | But whatever does one do in the meanwhile? |
40607 | But where are the bride and groom? |
40607 | But you said you were sure? |
40607 | But your bib? |
40607 | But, Harry, you would n''t desert me now-- abandon me to my fate? |
40607 | But, darling,he pleaded,"you ca n''t desert me now, and leave me to go on alone?" |
40607 | Ca n''t you go a little faster? |
40607 | Ca n''t you go a little faster? |
40607 | Charlie Selby? |
40607 | Cigars? |
40607 | Could I see it? |
40607 | Could n''t we have it served here? |
40607 | Could n''t you have slipped into her car last night and stolen it? |
40607 | Could n''t you wait over one train-- just one tiny little train? |
40607 | Could you marry us in this smoking room? |
40607 | Crawl in the icewater tank? |
40607 | D- did I give you a baygled branglet? |
40607 | D- did he accept? |
40607 | Darling, you ca n''t desert me now,he pleaded,"and leave me to go on alone?" |
40607 | Did I un''stan''somebody say you''re preparing for a brile coupl''? |
40607 | Did n''t you ever love a woman? |
40607 | Did n''t you have one befo''you stahted? |
40607 | Did the poor child run away and get married? |
40607 | Did you ever put your trust in a false- hearted woman? |
40607 | Did you ring, sah? |
40607 | Did you sleep, dovie? |

40607 | Do n''t you ever carry any preachers on this road? |
40607 | Do n''t you know? |
40607 | Do n''t you remember that evening in the moonlight? |
40607 | Do n''t you remember? 40607 Do n''t you see?" |
40607 | Do n''t you think it looks kind of improbable on-- on-- such an occasion? |
40607 | Do n''t you think we''d better tell everybody before they begin to talk? |
40607 | Do n''t you? |
40607 | Do we come to a station stop soon? |
40607 | Do we dare? |
40607 | Do you know the''Wedding March''? |
40607 | Do you live there? |
40607 | Do you mean to say she''s still wearing it? |
40607 | Do you mean to tell me that I''ve got to sit hyah for half an hour-- just waitin''? |
40607 | Do you mean to tell me that there is no tub on this beastly train? |
40607 | Do you remember yo''numba? |
40607 | Do you smoke cigarettes? |
40607 | Do you think I''d give you up? |
40607 | Do you think I''ll be so monotonous as that? |
40607 | Do you think I''m in this business for my health? |
40607 | Do you vant it confidential? 40607 Does you both move over to numba three, or does yo''--yo''lady remain heah, while jest you preambulates?" |
40607 | Does you desire anything else, sir? |
40607 | Does you want this upper made up? |
40607 | Draw yo''--what, sah? |
40607 | Excuse me, but do you happen to have any matches? |
40607 | For me? |
40607 | For the dog? |
40607 | Fourteen and a half!--why do n''t you get a neck? 40607 Freeze- out?" |
40607 | Good morning, who? |
40607 | Got something in your eye? |
40607 | Great heavens, how shall we ever pay him? 40607 Hang the parson,"Wedgewood repeated,"Who''s the gel?" |
40607 | Has poor little hubby missed his poor old wife? |
40607 | Have I got to be locked up in that pigeon- hole for-- for how many days is it to Reno? |
40607 | Have I got to go to bed now? 40607 Have some rice for the bridal couple?" |
40607 | Have you any last message to send home to your mother? |
40607 | Have you known Harry long? |
40607 | Here, boy,said Ashton, snapping his fingers,"what''s the latest New York paper?" |
40607 | Honestly? 40607 How about a little freeze- out?" |
40607 | How can I get it away? |
40607 | How can you tell? |
40607 | How can you think such a thing? |
40607 | How could I ever quarrel with you, my love? |
40607 | How does it feel? |
40607 | How is he this morning? |
40607 | How many portions does you approximate? |
40607 | How much is that? |
40607 | How was I to get it? |
40607 | I beg your pardon? |
40607 | I grab her, eh? |
40607 | I rather fancy he had you theah, old top, eh, what? |
40607 | I say, Mr. Fosdick, what size collar do you wear? |
40607 | I say, pawtah, open a window, will you? 40607 I would n''t, eh?" |
40607 | If she comes-- tell her-- tell her-- oh, what shall we tell her? |
40607 | In your conscience, Sally? |
40607 | Indeed I''m not-- not for worlds, honey, but I''ve got to get that train, have n''t I? |
40607 | Is Ma- mamma with you? |
40607 | Is he going to die? |
40607 | Is n''t it? |
40607 | Is n''t there another lower berth? |
40607 | Is papa on this train, too? |
40607 | Is that all? 40607 Is that so? |
40607 | Is that the eye? |
40607 | Is they anything else? |
40607 | It certainly does,Mallory assented, bitterly; then again, with zest:"Let me see that old bracelet, will you?" |
40607 | It''s a mean old world, is n''t it? |
40607 | Join you in what, sir? |
40607 | Just what are we in Nevada? |
40607 | Lasted till the train started? 40607 Lieutenant Mallory, eh? |
40607 | Marjorie, how can you think such a thing? |
40607 | Mattie? |
40607 | May I have a word with you? |
40607 | May I hook you? |
40607 | May you-- what? 40607 Me, too?" |
40607 | Meanwhile, Porter, could you give him something to eat to distract him? |
40607 | Missionary? 40607 My dear what?" |
40607 | My dog? |
40607 | My what? |
40607 | No longer? |
40607 | No small change, or nothin''? |
40607 | Now, Lucretia,he protested,"do n''t you think you''re carrying this pretty far?" |
40607 | Oh, Harry, has your love grown cold? |
40607 | Oh, I need you, do I? 40607 Oh, Ira, again?" |
40607 | Oh, Mr. Lathrop,she stammered--"Ira,"she corrected,"wo n''t you please hook me up?" |
40607 | Oh, ai n''t they hideous, them handsome women? |
40607 | Oh, how can you say that? 40607 Oh, is she? |
40607 | Oh, my poor little darling,Mrs. Jimmie fluttered,"What on earth ails you?" |
40607 | Oh, no, it is n''t, and if it is, how do I know I''m to be your last love? 40607 Oh, porter, have you seen anybody that looks like a detective in disguise?" |
40607 | Oh, what''s the use? |
40607 | Oh, what''s up? |
40607 | Oh, yes,said Anne,"How do you do, Charlie?" |
40607 | Oh, you have, have you? 40607 Oh, you know that, do you?" |
40607 | Papers, gents and ladies? 40607 Papers, gents? |
40607 | Please marry me soon,she implored,"wo n''t you, please?" |
40607 | Porter, have you seen anybody on board that looks suspicious? |
40607 | Rather good joke on you fellows, what? |
40607 | Really? 40607 Related?" |
40607 | Reno? |
40607 | Reno? |
40607 | Retire?--before all the car? |
40607 | San Francisco? 40607 Say, are you the porter of this car, or that man''s nurse?" |
40607 | Sit down here a moment, wo n''t you? |
40607 | Six days old? 40607 So did I,"said Ira Lathrop, leaning closer, and beaming like a big sun:"I do n''t suppose you remember Ira Lathrop?" |
40607 | So you''ll let a dog come between us? |
40607 | Suppose she has n''t the bracelet on? |
40607 | Thanks,Mallory said, and put out his hand:"Will you return the bracelet?" |
40607 | Thanks,said Marjorie, bashfully,"I was looking for my-- my----""Husband?" |
40607 | The Mallorys? |
40607 | The what? |
40607 | Then what do you want with an extra wife? 40607 They-- who?" |
40607 | They-- who? |
40607 | This tie, this green tie, is n''t this the one I knitted you? |
40607 | To get it? 40607 Two fifty- five A.M.?" |
40607 | Vell, in the foist place----"''The foist place,''eh? 40607 Vell, you''ve got maybe some beggetch, some trunks-- yes?" |
40607 | Vy do you vant it a cloigyman? 40607 Was I?" |
40607 | Was n''t it good? |
40607 | Was she ever true to you, porter? |
40607 | Was you ever in Moline? |
40607 | We never shall have a harsh word, shall we? |
40607 | We''re in Utah? |
40607 | Well, can you open beer? |
40607 | Well, if a grown man offers me a half- fare ticket, I guess that''s a pretty good sign, ai n''t it? |
40607 | Well, my boy----"Your minister-- after you get through with him-- may I use him? |
40607 | Well, stupid, do n''t you see? 40607 Well, then, did n''t you ever marry a woman?" |
40607 | Well, why do n''t you do something? |
40607 | Well, why in thunder did n''t you say so? |
40607 | Were you ever a broken- hearted man, porter? |
40607 | Whass zis about brile couple? |
40607 | What ails you? |
40607 | What are you going to do? |
40607 | What did he look like? |
40607 | What do I care? |
40607 | What do you care? 40607 What do you mean, Harry?" |
40607 | What for? |
40607 | What good is that? |
40607 | What if we should miss the minister? |
40607 | What kind of a woman? |
40607 | What name would they be in, miss? |
40607 | What on earth makes you so anxious? |
40607 | What time are we due in San Francisco? |
40607 | What time d''you say we get to Reno? |
40607 | What time does this bally train start? |
40607 | What will be your address? |
40607 | What would they say in Ypsilanti? |
40607 | What you so anxious to be in Utah for, Fosdick? |
40607 | What''s a career to a man who truly loves? |
40607 | What''s happened-- are you killed? |
40607 | What''s that? 40607 What''s that?" |
40607 | What''s that? |
40607 | What''s the matter now? |
40607 | What''s the matter now? |
40607 | What''s the matter with the bridal couples on this train, anyway? |
40607 | What-- again? |
40607 | When? |
40607 | Where are the pills that go with it? |
40607 | Where are you going? |
40607 | Where did you get that love of a waist? |
40607 | Where do you get the parson? |
40607 | Where''s that infernal buffet waiter? |
40607 | Where''s that? 40607 Where''s the conductor?" |
40607 | Wherever did you pick up the bride? |
40607 | Which one will you be on? |
40607 | Who ai n''t I? 40607 Who cares?" |
40607 | Who''s moving? |
40607 | Whom did you expect? |
40607 | Why do n''t you and your husband drop off and take the next train? |
40607 | Why should n''t I? |
40607 | Why should n''t you? |
40607 | Why, Harry Mallory, are you getting ready to jilt me? |
40607 | Why, I do n''t hate anybody, do you? |
40607 | Why-- my dear!--where''s your wedding ring? |
40607 | Will we? |
40607 | Will you call my--she gulped--"my husband?" |
40607 | Will you take breakfast with me-- in the dining- car? |
40607 | With your husband here? |
40607 | Wo n''t she? |
40607 | Woman- hater? |
40607 | Would you mind teaching me the rules? |
40607 | Yes, Marjorie? |
40607 | Yes-- a-- a preacher? |
40607 | Yes; cigarettes are too strong for me; will you try one of my pets? |
40607 | Yo''what-- missus? |
40607 | You are with your husband, are n''t you? |
40607 | You did wish it on, did n''t you? |
40607 | You do n''t perform marriages, do you? |
40607 | You go on to''Frisco, do n''t you? |
40607 | You have n''t left the army, have you? |
40607 | You here yet? |
40607 | You''ve ceased to love me,he protested,"just because of a little affair I had before I met you?" |
40607 | Young man,he pleaded across the back of a seat,"will you kindly lend me a gun?" |
40607 | A minister always turns up to administer the last something or other-- well----""Well?" |
40607 | After he heard this, it did not sound entirely felicitous, so he grudgingly ventured:"Excuse me-- you married?" |
40607 | Ah, I see you vant to marry a nice divorcee lady in R- r- reno?" |
40607 | Ai n''t I a justice of the peaces?" |
40607 | And he yelled:"Say, whose durn dog is this? |
40607 | And now nothing could check his swagger, as he said to Mallory:"What shall we do with these dam- ned sinners?" |
40607 | And now she was off on a new tack:"And where are you bound for, Harry, dear?" |
40607 | And seeing the porter, he beckoned him close and asked with careless indifference:"Oh, Porter, what time do we reach the Iowa state line?" |
40607 | And then Mrs. Whitcomb pushed them both aside:"Pardon me, wo n''t you? |
40607 | And then temptation whispered him its old"Why not?" |
40607 | And who are you?" |
40607 | Are n''t they going to flop the rice- trap?" |
40607 | Are you trying to crow?" |
40607 | As he turned to obey, Mrs. Whitcomb checked him with:"Oh, Porter, could you get us a hammer and some nails?" |
40607 | Ashton sang out:"What''s the matter with you, Porter? |
40607 | Ashton seized him, shook him, and muttered:"What the-- what''s the matter with you?" |
40607 | Ashton wailed:"Have we got to sit here and die of thirst till then?" |
40607 | Ashton was the first to speak:"Say, Porter, can you mix drinks?" |
40607 | At length he produced the ticket, and thrust it at the porter:"Thah, you idiot, are you convinced now?" |
40607 | At this point he caromed over into Ira Lathrop''s berth and was welcomed with a savage roar:"What the devil''s the matter with you?" |
40607 | Beckoning him closer, Mallory mumbled in a low tone:"Is there an extra berth on this car?" |
40607 | Besides, what business was it of this young husband''s what her old husband''s business was? |
40607 | But I''m not speaking of----""But suppose he should bite him?" |
40607 | But Marjorie was up and away, with apt temper:"So Mattie was in the box, was she? |
40607 | But evidently some greater fear goaded her, for she gasped:"Ca n''t he go a little faster?" |
40607 | But first, will the conductor take those bags and distribute the contents to their rightful owners?" |
40607 | But the preacher was so confused that he answered:"What''s the use of prayer in an emergency like this?" |
40607 | But what right had he to defend from gallantry the woman he was about to forswear before the world? |
40607 | But what was you expecting-- especial?" |
40607 | By my feshionable clothink?" |
40607 | Ca n''t I do it just as good? |
40607 | Ca n''t you call me Little Jimmie again?" |
40607 | Ca n''t you raise this light-- or rather ca n''t you lower it? |
40607 | Ca n''t you really cut yourself?" |
40607 | Ca n''t you see I''m busy?" |
40607 | Can I fit you out vit a nice divorce?" |
40607 | Can he come back and see me to- morrow?" |
40607 | Could Mallory have escaped the pit they had digged for him? |
40607 | Could n''t mamma and I go on the transport? |
40607 | Could n''t we-- er-- couldn''t we establish a residence-- er-- together?" |
40607 | Could n''t you just overawe them with it?" |
40607 | Could n''t you lend me or sell me something a little smarter?" |
40607 | Could n''t you put me in the men''s end of the car?" |
40607 | Could you lend me a match? |
40607 | Did he have Othello''s green eye? |
40607 | Did n''t you ever have a mother?" |
40607 | Did you ever meet Mrs. Sammy Whitcomb-- no? |
40607 | Did you ever try one?" |
40607 | Did you rest well?" |
40607 | Do n''t they''low nothin''in that old Utah but ice- cream soda?" |
40607 | Do n''t you hate long journeys?" |
40607 | Do n''t you remember it?" |
40607 | Do you dare refuse?" |
40607 | Do you know the name of the man who just hurried in?" |
40607 | Do you promise?" |
40607 | Do you promise?" |
40607 | Do you see the porter in there?" |
40607 | Do you think I want to compromise my own wife? |
40607 | Do you vant it a nice hotel?--or a fine house?--or an apartment?--or maybe a boarding- house?--yes? |
40607 | Do you vant to get a nice re- marriage license?" |
40607 | Do you want to get out and walk up and down?" |
40607 | Doctor Temple? |
40607 | Dr. Temple advanced on the disconsolate youth with an effort at cheer:"How is our bridegroom this beautiful afternoon?" |
40607 | Dr. Temple summoned the lad:"I do n''t suppose you have the_ Ypsilanti Eagle_?" |
40607 | Even Doctor Temple declared that she was a dear little thing, was n''t she? |
40607 | Even Dr. Temple stared at her with approval:"Dear little thing, is n''t she?" |
40607 | Ever hear of li''l Jimmie Wellington? |
40607 | Ever hear of me?" |
40607 | Finally the porter was compelled to reach forward and tap Mallory''s arm, and stutter:"''Scuse me, but co- could I git b- by?" |
40607 | Fosdick?" |
40607 | From within came an anxious voice:"Who''s there?" |
40607 | Good Lord, are you a Mormon?" |
40607 | Good Lord, are you going to begin chucking it up?" |
40607 | Have n''t you got a man''s size berth?" |
40607 | Have you got a little minister in your suitcase?" |
40607 | He asked, huskily:"What do you think he is?" |
40607 | He beckoned the porter and said:"Let me know the moment we enter Utah, will you?" |
40607 | He came forward with a look of authority:"''Scuse me, but wha-- what''s all this?" |
40607 | He could not help pondering:"What would they say in Yp- hip- silanti?" |
40607 | He gazed at her with a rush of lovely tenderness:"And how could I ever speak crossly to you?" |
40607 | He had a license for Chicago, but Chicago was far away:"Do I need a license in Nevada?" |
40607 | He huddled himself and his suitcases into as flat a space as possible, murmuring:"These corridors are so narrow, are n''t they?" |
40607 | He looked so much like a rawhided ranchman that Mallory stole up on him and asked him to excuse him, but did he happen to be a clergyman? |
40607 | He pressed her back with a decisive motion, and demanded:"Where are you going?" |
40607 | He rose to welcome her, but the smile died on his lips at her chilly speech:"May I have a word with you, sir?" |
40607 | He said:"Excuse me, but have you any preachers on board?" |
40607 | He seized it hungrily and clung to it:"Good- bye?--aren''t you getting off at Reno?" |
40607 | He stared at her with masculine dismay at feminine logic:"If you ca n''t forgive me, then why do you marry me?" |
40607 | He took a large iron seal from his side- pocket and stamped the paper and then, with fountain pen poised, pleaded:"Vat is the names, pleass?" |
40607 | He tried again:"Ever hear of well- known Chicago belle, Mrs. Jimmie Wellington?" |
40607 | He tried to calm her with inexpert words:"How can I stop the train? |
40607 | He turned away and dashed into the men''s room with a furious:"Where''s that damned dog?" |
40607 | He turned his head and growled:"Say, do youse want to lose me me license?" |
40607 | He turned on the wretch with a heartsick appeal:"Ca n''t you spare those? |
40607 | He turned to the conductor:"Say, old man, just hold the train till after my wedding, wo n''t you?" |
40607 | He turned to the porter:"There ai n''t any law against giving this away, is there?" |
40607 | He was halted by another voice-- another woman''s voice:"Pardon me, but is this the car for Reno?" |
40607 | He was still more startled when Mr. Baumann, cruising along the aisle, bent over to murmur:"Can I fix you a nice divorce?" |
40607 | He was too deeply shocked to achieve any comment more brilliant than:"That mess do n''t look much like it ever was a taxicab, does it?" |
40607 | He went right on getting acquainted:"Are you married, Mr.--Mr.----?" |
40607 | He whined:"Say, what''s your little game, eh?" |
40607 | He wondered what rock Ira held behind his back now, but he forced an uneasy cordiality:"And is this you, Ira? |
40607 | Her first question was:"Oh, porter, did a box of flowers, or candy, or anything, come for me?" |
40607 | Here, too, the conductor thundered:"Who pulled that rope? |
40607 | His curt indifference jolted Marjorie a trifle, but she rallied her forces, and came back with:"How long do we stop at Ogden?" |
40607 | His one vital inquiry was:"How much will he tip?" |
40607 | How are we going to get to the minister?" |
40607 | How dare you?" |
40607 | How did you know it? |
40607 | How is it my fault? |
40607 | How long do you make a residence?" |
40607 | How much do you suppose we owe him?" |
40607 | How old was he?" |
40607 | How shall we begin?" |
40607 | How soon do we start?" |
40607 | How?" |
40607 | How?" |
40607 | I deliver''em to your address-- yes? |
40607 | I hope I have n''t kept you waiting?" |
40607 | I never heard of any such streets, did you?" |
40607 | If it''s right for him, why not for you?" |
40607 | In fact, he went so far as to say:"You gents vill be gettin''off at Reno, yes? |
40607 | In the presence of such innocent deviltry he could only smile:"Are n''t we having an exciting vacation? |
40607 | Ira appeared at number One, and bending over his treasure- trove, spoke in a voice that was pure saccharine:"Are you ready for breakfast, dear?" |
40607 | Ira growled like a lovesick lion:"Aw, what do you care?" |
40607 | Is it something like authors?" |
40607 | Is n''t it sweet?" |
40607 | Is this the first time, Ira?" |
40607 | Is you all fixin''up for a bridal couple?" |
40607 | Is you allowin''to take a ba- ath in the mawnin''?" |
40607 | Is your husband a reverend doctor?" |
40607 | It looks like Fate, does n''t it?" |
40607 | It was not an entirely satisfactory justification, and Marjorie began to quake with alarm:"Suppose there should n''t be?" |
40607 | It''s awfully good, is n''t it? |
40607 | It''s bad, eh?" |
40607 | Lathrop stared at him pityingly, and demanded:"What happens to the water, then?" |
40607 | Lathrop!--is it you?" |
40607 | Little Jimmie Wellington turned pale, and stammered, as he tried to ask the conductor casually:"What kind of a place is that Reno?" |
40607 | Little Jimmie almost perished with apoplexy:"You, you?" |
40607 | Mallory acknowledged the greeting, and asked offhandedly:"By the way, how''s she running?" |
40607 | Mallory almost dropped in his tracks, and Marjorie keeled over on him, as he gasped:"Good Lord, Doctor Temple, you are a-- a minister?" |
40607 | Mallory asked, excitedly,"is he coming?" |
40607 | Mallory could prevent that, but when she pleaded,"What shall we do?" |
40607 | Mallory dragged Marjorie away, but she shook her little fist at the conductor, crying:"Do you refuse? |
40607 | Mallory glared at the twin Benedict Arnolds and demanded:"Are you two thugs going to San Francisco with us?" |
40607 | Mallory put out his hand:"Would you be kind enough to lend me your razor again this morning?" |
40607 | Mallory realized that Nevada would be a thing of the past in a few hours more and he asked:"It''s no good in California?" |
40607 | Mallory returned to Wellington with a fiercer:"Whom, then?" |
40607 | Mallory saw it go with fortitude, but noting a piece of legal paper, he said:"Say, old man, you do n''t want that marriage license, do you?" |
40607 | Mallory stared and stared, till Marjorie said:"Do n''t you see? |
40607 | Mallory took her by the wrist in a gingerly manner, and said,"So that''s the bracelet? |
40607 | Mallory tossed him the towel again:"You meant Mr. Lathrop then?" |
40607 | Mallory went straight to Dr. Temple, with a burning demand:"You dear old fraud, will you marry me?" |
40607 | Marjorie blushed, and lowered her eyes and her voice:"Can you suggest anything better?" |
40607 | Marjorie came back to earth with a bump:"Are you really sure there''s a minister on board?" |
40607 | Marjorie demanded with an ominous chill:"And who''s Mattie? |
40607 | Marjorie poured maple syrup on her tone, as she purred:"This train of yours is an awfully fast train, is n''t it?" |
40607 | Marjorie stared after him in wonder and asked:"What did that person mean by what he said?" |
40607 | Marjorie stared at him incredulously:"That creature!--before all these passengers?" |
40607 | Marjorie studied his motley garb, and her own, and groaned:"We''re a sweet looking pair, are n''t we?" |
40607 | Marjorie tossed her head a little higher, grew a little calmer:"What do I care? |
40607 | Marjorie winced at this and writhed at what followed:"Sha n''t we take breakfast together?" |
40607 | Mr. Baumann drew himself up:"Who says I do n''t? |
40607 | Mr. Baumann layed his hands in one another:"A betchelor? |
40607 | Mr. La-_throp_, did you ever put your trust in a false- hearted woman?" |
40607 | Mrs. Fosdick called from far down the aisle:"Dr. Temple, you''re not a detective?" |
40607 | Mrs. Fosdick shook her head at him in mournful sympathy, and asked:"What state are we in now?" |
40607 | Mrs. Temple almost collapsed at this double shock:"Ci-- cigars?" |
40607 | Mrs. Temple shouted back furiously:"How dare you?" |
40607 | Mrs. Temple shuddered at the thought, but Wellington drew himself up majestically and called out:"Like second one better, eh? |
40607 | Mrs. Temple stared at him and shook her head:"I wonder what mischief you''ll be up to to- day? |
40607 | Mrs. Temple was shivering with dismay at the dreadful deed:"What would they say in Ypsilanti?" |
40607 | Mrs. Wellington interpreted it with a smile of gay defiance:"Do you believe in divorces?" |
40607 | Mrs. Wellington pushed forward:"Then what the devil are you going to do when they come?" |
40607 | Mrs. Wellington whirled on him:"How dare you, you brute?" |
40607 | Mrs. Whitcomb waved them at Mallory with a laugh:"Recognize these?" |
40607 | Mrs. Whitcomb went on, leaning closer:"We two poor mistreated wretches must try to console one another, musn''t we?" |
40607 | No? |
40607 | No? |
40607 | No?" |
40607 | Now is it all perfectly clear, porter?" |
40607 | On the map?" |
40607 | On what grounds?" |
40607 | Or a nice fat alderman I can get you?" |
40607 | Paris fashions, lady?" |
40607 | Rather good joke on little Jimmie, eh?" |
40607 | Salt Lake pa----""Whash latesh from Chicago?" |
40607 | San Francisco? |
40607 | Seeing Marjorie, he said:"Shall I perambulate Mista Snoozleums?" |
40607 | Shall I look under the seat?" |
40607 | Shall I make it up?" |
40607 | She flung out imploring palms and with a gush of tears pleaded:"Wo n''t you please back up? |
40607 | She only heard his voice across her shoulder:"Doctor? |
40607 | She protested:"You would n''t leave me in Reno without a diamond, would you?" |
40607 | She simply said:"What time is it, honey?" |
40607 | She snuggled closer, and cooed:"Are n''t we having a nice long engagement? |
40607 | She stammered:"I do n''t suppose the train, by any accident, would be delayed in leaving Ogden?" |
40607 | She stared at him with a new thought, and gushed:"Oh, Ira-- are you a missionary, too?" |
40607 | She turned away, but he caught her arm:"Do n''t you love me?" |
40607 | She whirled back to demand of Marjorie:"Did you ever hear of such impudence?" |
40607 | She''s a little bit of all right, is n''t she?" |
40607 | So Ira rose, pushed the checkers aside, and said in an unusually positive tone:"Ah, Miss Gattle, wo n''t you have a look at the landscape?" |
40607 | Some former sweetheart of yours?" |
40607 | Something must be done, but what? |
40607 | Suddenly an idea struck into his daze:"Say, what kind of a dog was it?--a measly little cheese- hound?" |
40607 | Take it off, wo n''t you?" |
40607 | Temple?" |
40607 | That''s a kind of a seasick name, is n''t it?" |
40607 | The Englishman was craning his head around owlishly to ask:"I say, pawtah, does this train ever get wrecked?" |
40607 | The Pullman conductor not being present at the moment, he inquired:"Have you got yo''ticket?" |
40607 | The best he could think of was:"Will somebody lend me a lead pencil?" |
40607 | The blissful silence was broken first by Marjorie:"How do you spell Utah?--with a y?" |
40607 | The chauffeur glanced her way, more in pity for her whole sex than in scorn for this one type, as he mumbled:"Make it go? |
40607 | The conductor looked at her in surprise:"Why, what''s it to you?" |
40607 | The conductor stared at her a moment, then whirled on Mallory:"Say, what in hell''s the matter with your wife?" |
40607 | The conductor swung round with a yell:"A curly tail!--your son?" |
40607 | The conductor was reduced to a wet rag, a feeble echo:"Back up-- the train up?" |
40607 | The curious gallant edged her way, keeping a sharp watch along the line:"What d''you want?" |
40607 | The embrace was untied, and the lovers stared at him with a dazed, where- am- I? |
40607 | The gasp was so equivocal that he made bold to ask:"Is you pleased or disappointed?" |
40607 | The levity shocked Selby, but a greater shock was in store, for when he inquired:"And who is the-- er-- happy-- bride?" |
40607 | The man jumped as if he were stabbed, and turned a pale, frightened face on Mallory, who murmured:"Excuse me, do you happen to be a clergyman?" |
40607 | The more I know men the more I like----"this reminded her, and she asked anxiously:"Where is Snoozleums?" |
40607 | The porter almost blanched:"Good Lawd, Miss, you ai n''t allowin''to drive nails in that woodwork, is you?" |
40607 | The porter lured him on:"Is you sho''you got one?" |
40607 | The porter ventured:"Are you sho''this is yo''numba?" |
40607 | The prim little missionary toppled into the nearest chair:"Oh, Ira, what will she think?" |
40607 | The sobs stopped short, as Marjorie looked up to ask:"Have you got your sword with you?" |
40607 | The stranger stared at him wonderingly and demanded:"Why, what you drivin''at?" |
40607 | The young woman looked sorrowfully at the wreck, and queried:"Do you think you can make it go?" |
40607 | Then Marjorie grew serious with a new idea:"I wonder if mamma and papa have missed me yet?" |
40607 | Then he started with a new twinge:"You bound for Ogden, too?" |
40607 | Then murmured with hypocritical deference:"Excuse me, but could I see yo''ticket for yo''seat?" |
40607 | Then she almost blushed as she murmured, almost shyly:"May I pour your coffee for you again this morning?" |
40607 | Then she gave the boy his congà © by resuming her chat with Mallory:"How long do we stop at Ogden?" |
40607 | Then she took his breath away again by asking, out of a clear sky:"Are you married?" |
40607 | Then she tried to control herself with a polite:"Where is the next stop?" |
40607 | There was a disagreeable silence, broken finally by Mrs. Wellington''s:"Oh, Mrs. Mallory, would you be angelic enough to hook my gown?" |
40607 | They be of any use to you?" |
40607 | They heard Lathrop''s protest:"Hold on there, conductor,"and Selby''s plea:"Oh, I say, my good man, wait a moment, ca n''t you?" |
40607 | Thinking and hoping that she was unconscious, he made ready to escape, but she caught him by the coat, and moaned:"Where am I?" |
40607 | To save me from distress-- don''t you think you could?" |
40607 | Vere iss it?" |
40607 | Very picturesque scenery, is n''t it?" |
40607 | Vich do you vant it?" |
40607 | Was she lonesome in that dismal stateroom all by herself?" |
40607 | Wedgewood collapsed into another, gasping:"Whatevah are we safe from, I wondah?" |
40607 | Wedgewood extended a languid hand:"What''s the latest issue of the_ London Times_?" |
40607 | Wedgewood laid a sympathetic hand on Little Jimmie''s shoulder, and said:"That Ashton is no end of a bounder, what?" |
40607 | Wedgewood voiced the general curiosity when he said:"What''s the old woman- hater up to now?" |
40607 | Well?" |
40607 | Wellington stared at his wife:"Lucretia, are you sincere?" |
40607 | Wellington?" |
40607 | Wellington?" |
40607 | Wellington?" |
40607 | Were you ever in Brattleboro, Vermont?" |
40607 | What I want to know is how you dare to----""Was it a colored waiter?" |
40607 | What about the minister? |
40607 | What becomes of me?" |
40607 | What do you think of that?" |
40607 | What have you been reading-- wedding announcements?" |
40607 | What if your former wife should find us together?" |
40607 | What is it to you, where she sits? |
40607 | What on earth ails you?" |
40607 | What use had he now for ministers? |
40607 | What would yo''canine desiah, sah?" |
40607 | What''s this?" |
40607 | What''s yo''numba, please?" |
40607 | What- dick?" |
40607 | Whatever became of that fellow who used to hang round you all the time?" |
40607 | When he dropped at Marjorie''s side, she edged away from him, pleading:"Oh, what shall we do?" |
40607 | When the porter returned to bow her in, she shivered and hesitated, and then demanded:"Oh, Porter, are you sure there''s nobody else in there?" |
40607 | Where could I reach him?" |
40607 | Where is he?" |
40607 | Where''s it at?" |
40607 | Where''s my bracelet?" |
40607 | Who said take the orders?" |
40607 | Who''s in there?" |
40607 | Whom did you suppose?" |
40607 | Why do you want a minister?" |
40607 | Why leave Chicago?" |
40607 | Why, oh, why did we ever interfere with them?" |
40607 | Will he contest the-- divorce?" |
40607 | Will you come?" |
40607 | Will you join me?" |
40607 | With others,"How much is he worth?" |
40607 | With others,"What has he achieved?" |
40607 | With some, the first question is,"Who are his people?" |
40607 | Wo n''t mamma be pleased?" |
40607 | Wo n''t you please hold the train?" |
40607 | Wo n''t you sit down?" |
40607 | Would n''t it be just terrible?" |
40607 | Yes? |
40607 | Yes? |
40607 | Yes? |
40607 | You are n''t wearing your uniform, are you?" |
40607 | You are well, are n''t you?" |
40607 | You dare to read about her and rave over her perfect form, while you neglect your wife-- or your-- oh, what am I, anyway?" |
40607 | You do n''t intend to marry a laundryman?" |
40607 | You have n''t been in to see her yet?" |
40607 | You have n''t got a plain white shirt, have you? |
40607 | You quite understand, do n''t you?" |
40607 | You stopped this train for a fool dog?" |
40607 | You vant maybe a good quick divorce-- yes?" |
40607 | You wo n''t mind if I leave you to talk over old times together?" |
40607 | You''ve already been smoking, gambling, drinking-- have you been swearing, yet?" |
40607 | and he raised his glass, but Mallory hauled it down to demand:"How? |
40607 | but are you gettink off at R- r- reno?" |
40607 | he bellowed,"which one of you guys pulled that rope?" |
40607 | he cried, and leaped to his feet, only to be detained again by Marjorie''s clutch:"But first, what about that bracelet?" |
40607 | he echoed,"you?--to me? |
40607 | he gulped,"well, what in----Say, in the name of-- why, do n''t you know it''s a penitentiary offense to stop a train this way?" |
40607 | he wailed,"do n''t you allow no courtesies to the profession?" |
40607 | or very nice and noisy?" |
40607 | said Kathleen, jealously,"or are you just acquaintances on the train?" |
40607 | said Mrs. Wellington,"Do n''t you like tobacco?" |
40607 | she moaned, then left the general for the particular:"Wo n''t you come in and hook me up?" |
40607 | she shrieked,"in heaven''s name-- when?" |
40607 | stuff a mattress? |
40607 | what? |
29572 | A forty- five gun with a thirty- eight bore, George? 29572 A stranger? |
29572 | Across the river? |
29572 | After all I know-- why not? |
29572 | After all you know? |
29572 | Ai n''t that blamed doctor here yet? 29572 Almost criminal, was n''t it?" |
29572 | Alone in the rain? |
29572 | Am I a thing? |
29572 | And Sinclair was away from the ranch from Saturday noon till Sunday night? |
29572 | And do you mind my giving you a confidence, Mr. Smith? 29572 And may I come over after I tell Rooney Lee to repeat this to headquarters?" |
29572 | And no one was hurt? |
29572 | And say, Chris, go down and read the bridge gauge, will you? 29572 And suppose you were?" |
29572 | And this is where you stay? |
29572 | And whom may I say the message is from? |
29572 | And will you tell me what_ I_ should be doing while you were explaining? |
29572 | And you expect me to sit by and fold my hands while that wretch sheds more blood, do you? |
29572 | And you told him, of course? |
29572 | And you''ll see we make nothing, wo n''t you? |
29572 | Another what? |
29572 | Are n''t you ashamed to make fun of me? |
29572 | Are you Mr. McCloud? 29572 Are you Whispering Smith?" |
29572 | Are you not trying to broil a roast of beef? |
29572 | Are you suffering much, Du Sang? |
29572 | Are you sure you can find your way back? |
29572 | Are you taking your hat off for me in the rain? 29572 Arrest him? |
29572 | As many as that? |
29572 | At least, wo n''t you let your horse drink? |
29572 | Awake, Gordon? |
29572 | Boys, have you happened to see Gene or Bob Johnson to- day, any of you? |
29572 | Brown, why have you never learned to smoke? |
29572 | Burn the whole thing up, eh? |
29572 | But can the men work in such a downpour? |
29572 | But how can it be? 29572 But the hill road?" |
29572 | But what are you going to do? |
29572 | But you started out together; where did you leave her? |
29572 | But you will allow me to ride back to the house with you? |
29572 | But, Dicksie, is it all right? |
29572 | But, by Heaven, George,exclaimed Smith, speaking with unaccustomed fervor,"Miss Dicksie Dunning is a hummer,_ is n''t_ she? |
29572 | But,he added, moderating his utterance,"when they succeed-- who gets anything out of it but the dog?" |
29572 | Ca n''t I ride him down? |
29572 | Can you ask me whether you ought not to take every means to defend your own life? 29572 Damn you, ai n''t you dead yet? |
29572 | Dicksie, dare you tell me, after a shock like that, it really_ is_ your pin? |
29572 | Dicksie, what do you mean? 29572 Did he?" |
29572 | Did you come from across the river? |
29572 | Did you ever have to kill a man, George? |
29572 | Did you know my daddy used to run an engine? |
29572 | Did you say George? 29572 Did you see him alone, Bill?" |
29572 | Did you shed a tear for me? 29572 Do n''t you know me?" |
29572 | Do n''t you know you have said it to me many times without words? 29572 Do n''t you know?" |
29572 | Do n''t you like this country? 29572 Do n''t you suppose I know he writes letters back to Wisconsin to your folks?" |
29572 | Do n''t you think I care anything about you? 29572 Do n''t you want to take Brill Young with you?" |
29572 | Do you accuse me of false representations? |
29572 | Do you call this far? 29572 Do you hear me? |
29572 | Do you know what you promised last night? 29572 Do you know who shot at me?" |
29572 | Do you mean it? |
29572 | Do you think I am going to allow this railroad company to ruin this ranch while I am responsible here? 29572 Do you think so?" |
29572 | Do you think this is a summer resort? 29572 Do you usually,"he asked, looking suddenly up,"have success in setting roosters?" |
29572 | Do you want to see me? |
29572 | Do you want to take charge here? 29572 Does everything you say come true?" |
29572 | Du Sang? |
29572 | Farrell, if you had n''t been a railroad man you would have made a great undertaker, do you know that? |
29572 | Find my way back? |
29572 | First name? |
29572 | Four? |
29572 | Going back to- night, do you say? 29572 Going to turn us loose on Red Desert, are you?" |
29572 | Gordon, would it do any good to ask a few questions? |
29572 | Got any Sugar Buttes money? |
29572 | Have my men got nothing to do but carry a tramp to water? 29572 Have n''t seen any men looking for horses this morning, have you?" |
29572 | Have they made you superintendent already? |
29572 | Have we enough to stand in? |
29572 | Have you diagnosed the case? |
29572 | Have you fellows let Du Sang get away while you were playing fool here? |
29572 | Have you got everything? 29572 Have you got everything?" |
29572 | Have you had any supper, Dannie? 29572 Have you noticed it? |
29572 | Have you the horses below? 29572 Hear his name?" |
29572 | Hello, old boy, how the devil did you get here? |
29572 | Help me to get it off my mind, will you, please? |
29572 | How about the mining? |
29572 | How am I to answer it? |
29572 | How am I to do it? |
29572 | How am I to get to Point of Rocks-- walk there? |
29572 | How are we to sit? |
29572 | How are you going to turn your train around on a single track? |
29572 | How are you making it over here? |
29572 | How are you, Bill? |
29572 | How can a man make a living in this country,asked the rancher, with a bitter oath,"unless he picks up everything that''s going?" |
29572 | How can you ask me so terrible a question? |
29572 | How could I explain? |
29572 | How could it catch fire? 29572 How dare you speak in that way to me? |
29572 | How did you know we rode away? 29572 How do I know? |
29572 | How do you do? 29572 How do you know?" |
29572 | How do you know? |
29572 | How goes it? |
29572 | How is Number One, Rooney? |
29572 | How is your arm? |
29572 | How long has Du Sang been in town? 29572 How long will it take them to clean up this mess with what help we can run in this afternoon?" |
29572 | How many men have you got with you, Reed? |
29572 | How''s that? |
29572 | I always want to go, do n''t I? |
29572 | I am going to get dinner; do you want to help? |
29572 | I presume Mr. Sinclair is here? |
29572 | I shall be going with you, shall I not? 29572 I think you are mistaken, are n''t you?" |
29572 | I wanted to ask you whether you would sell us some grain- sacks, Mr. McCloud, to use at the river, if you could spare them? |
29572 | I wonder how the river is? 29572 I''m afraid I do n''t understand you-- do you ask me this question? |
29572 | Identity? |
29572 | If it''s the crowd we think it is, would they go straight home? 29572 If they could put one day between them and pursuit, would n''t they be safer at home than anywhere else? |
29572 | If you are both going, can you be ready by twelve o''clock for the China Mail? |
29572 | In the real- estate business? 29572 Into the claims or into the lake?" |
29572 | Is he in his room, do you think? |
29572 | Is he, Marion? 29572 Is it really serious business?" |
29572 | Is n''t it a shame to be disappointed like this? |
29572 | Is that hobo alive yet? |
29572 | Is that the best you can do? |
29572 | Is that the man who was in the wreck? |
29572 | Is the line clear? |
29572 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
29572 | Is there_ any_ man here that wants to go back to work for the company? |
29572 | Is this man all right? |
29572 | Is this the terrible man I have heard about? |
29572 | Is this where you stay? |
29572 | Is this your bunch of horses that got loose here? |
29572 | It is curious how you remember things that happened when you were a boy, is n''t it? 29572 It''s as good as done,"announced Dancing, taking up his hat,"and, Mr. McCloud, might I have a little advance for cigars and things?" |
29572 | It''s fine for to- night, is n''t it? |
29572 | It''s great, is n''t it? |
29572 | It''s nothing I can do or leave undone, is it? |
29572 | Let me run that end of it, will you? 29572 Look anything like that man standing with his hands in his pockets over there by the wheel?" |
29572 | Look here, McCloud, what''s a pay check to a man that''s sick, compared with a bottle of good wine? |
29572 | Look here, what do you want? |
29572 | Looks like all day for you, does n''t it? 29572 Looks to me like I seen you down at Crawling Stone, ai n''t I?" |
29572 | Lost Smoky Creek Bridge? |
29572 | Marion, what do you mean? 29572 Marion,"he cried, with an oath,"do you know how close you are to death at this moment?" |
29572 | McCloud, are you a Van Dyne man? |
29572 | Miss Dunning, wo n''t you listen just a moment? 29572 My dear Marion, why did they drag you away out here?" |
29572 | Not from Ed Banks? |
29572 | Not of my affair? |
29572 | Not since he left the mountains a year ago? |
29572 | Now tell me how_ you_ heard so much about it, Gordon, and where? |
29572 | Now who is their friend down in this country? 29572 Now why do you want to start Bill on a fool business like that?" |
29572 | Now, shall I break your arm? |
29572 | Now, who is Wickwire? |
29572 | Now, will some of you tell me who Du Sang is? |
29572 | Oh, Mr. McCloud, have you heard the awful news? 29572 Oh, is n''t that a relief?" |
29572 | Oh, what shall I do? |
29572 | Oh, you are? 29572 One of Dunning''s men, was it? |
29572 | Or will one of you roll a cigarette? |
29572 | Or will you behave? 29572 Others?" |
29572 | Pardon me,ventured McCloud,"have you lost your way?" |
29572 | Past twelve? 29572 Pray, why not?" |
29572 | Running too fast, eh? |
29572 | Sacks? 29572 See here, Rebstock, you and I have always got along, have n''t we? |
29572 | Seriously, now,Whispering Smith went on,"do n''t you know people who, if they were thoroughly prosperous, would be intolerable-- simply intolerable? |
29572 | Shall we let her, Marion? 29572 Should n''t you rather take good money and get off the division? |
29572 | Sinclair, what are you doing in Medicine Bend? 29572 So it was fixed up for cash a week ago?" |
29572 | Something for me? 29572 Stay here? |
29572 | Stranger, eh? |
29572 | Submit? 29572 Such as what?" |
29572 | Supper is served to all on duty at twelve o''clock, and we''re on duty, are n''t we? 29572 Suppose you were?" |
29572 | Surrender myself? 29572 Take off your coat, wo n''t you, please?" |
29572 | That man? |
29572 | That''s a good story about the mules coming from Denver, ai n''t it? |
29572 | That''s the superintendent''s car coming, ai n''t it, Murray? |
29572 | The merchandise is all unloaded, is n''t it? |
29572 | Then tell me how_ you_ could do it? |
29572 | Then what''s all this fuss about? |
29572 | Then where is your fight? 29572 Then you ca n''t tell me whether there were five men or six?" |
29572 | Then, tell me, what favor may I do for you? |
29572 | They are not doing anything, are they, but running around in a circle? 29572 They lied to you, did n''t they? |
29572 | This is your office, is n''t it? |
29572 | This shell pin fell from your hair that night you were at camp by the bridge-- do you remember? 29572 Tired of waiting, Bob? |
29572 | Up jump the devil, is it? 29572 Was anybody else there when you saw McCloud, Bill?" |
29572 | Was he at Sugar Buttes? |
29572 | Was it a passenger wreck? |
29572 | Was n''t he, Dannie? |
29572 | We can be ready in an hour,declared Dicksie, throwing her arm half around Marion''s neck,"ca n''t we, Marion?" |
29572 | We must try to think how he would like things done now, must n''t we? 29572 We''re doing that without rising, are n''t we?" |
29572 | Well, I told you I was going to come, did n''t I? 29572 Well, do n''t you want to start in on me? |
29572 | Well, do you think you can find the way down there for us? |
29572 | Well, what''s er matter with you fellows? 29572 Well, what''s your plan?" |
29572 | Well, who do you want? |
29572 | Well, you drink, do n''t you? 29572 What are you going to do?" |
29572 | What are you looking for, perfection in rhetorical figure? 29572 What are you so high and mighty about?" |
29572 | What are you talking about? |
29572 | What are you trying to do? |
29572 | What can you do with him? |
29572 | What can you shoot, Pearline? 29572 What did you tell him?" |
29572 | What do you care, if I''ve got the coin? 29572 What do you do when it thunders?" |
29572 | What do you mean? |
29572 | What do you think of it, Gordon? |
29572 | What do you think of it? |
29572 | What do you want me for? 29572 What do you want, Bill?" |
29572 | What does he want now? 29572 What for?" |
29572 | What has been happening since I left town? |
29572 | What have I to do with that? 29572 What have we to thank for it all but trouble?" |
29572 | What have you done with my cattle? |
29572 | What is it, Bill? |
29572 | What is it, Dannie? |
29572 | What is it, George? |
29572 | What is it, Rockstro? |
29572 | What is it, Rooney? |
29572 | What is it-- money? |
29572 | What is my duty then? 29572 What is that mining man''s name?" |
29572 | What kind of a wizard is Murray Sinclair? 29572 What makes you think that?" |
29572 | What might be your line of business? |
29572 | What might your name be, mister? |
29572 | What of it? 29572 What of it?" |
29572 | What shall I say-- what can I say? 29572 What should you say if I gave you a confidence?" |
29572 | What the deuce is it, Stevens? |
29572 | What time is it, please? |
29572 | What was it all about? |
29572 | What would become of the lives of the friends you protect if you were killed? |
29572 | What''s on time? |
29572 | What''s the matter-- is she sick? |
29572 | What''s the use, Wickwire? |
29572 | What''s your game? |
29572 | What''s your name? |
29572 | What, Whispering Smith? 29572 What, would you drive us off land you have already deeded?" |
29572 | What? 29572 Where are you going?" |
29572 | Where are you? |
29572 | Where could you get white men to work like that if you did n''t jolly them along once in a while? 29572 Where did you come from?" |
29572 | Where did you come from? |
29572 | Where did you hear about that? |
29572 | Where do I look as if I had come from? 29572 Where is your hat, George-- the one he put the bullet through?" |
29572 | Where''s Kennedy? |
29572 | Where-- there? 29572 Where? |
29572 | Which is deputy sheriff this year, Bob or Gene? 29572 Which is your bed?" |
29572 | Which of you fellows is Whispering Smith? |
29572 | Which way are you going to- night, Gordon? |
29572 | Who are you going to take with you? |
29572 | Who are you? |
29572 | Who is every one? |
29572 | Who is it, Puss? |
29572 | Who missed me? |
29572 | Who says I ca n''t see her? |
29572 | Who turned the trick, Wickwire? |
29572 | Who? |
29572 | Whose team is that, Sinclair? |
29572 | Why did n''t you thank Murray Sinclair, you mule? |
29572 | Why did n''t you? |
29572 | Why did you come, then? 29572 Why do n''t you come back?" |
29572 | Why do n''t you come out when I send a man to you, or send word what you will do? 29572 Why have I learned to ride,"went the question through her mind,"if not for this-- for those I love and for those who love me?" |
29572 | Why must you ride home with me when I do n''t want you to? |
29572 | Why need you hurry away? |
29572 | Why not let me ride down and manage it without bringing you into it at all? |
29572 | Why not let us cross where we are, and run a new level for your ditch that will put the flume higher up? |
29572 | Why not? |
29572 | Why should you take the rain for me? |
29572 | Why were n''t the cattle sent through that way yesterday? 29572 Why, God a''mighty, Dicksie, what''s the matter?" |
29572 | Why, what is the matter? |
29572 | Why, you are in real earnest, are n''t you? 29572 Why? |
29572 | Will you be good enough to leave this room? |
29572 | Will you give me a corner lot if we put another station on the ranch? |
29572 | Will you? |
29572 | Williams Cache, was n''t it? 29572 Wo n''t it be fun to shove this man right under Du Sang''s nose and make him bat his eyes?" |
29572 | Wo n''t you give me the number and let me telephone? |
29572 | Wo n''t you hear me a moment? 29572 Would n''t give a man a tie- pass, would you?" |
29572 | Would you ride away from me just because you have a better horse? |
29572 | Would you trust me with a confidence? |
29572 | Yes, what is it? 29572 You are not such a mind- reader after all, are you? |
29572 | You are sure he is in town? |
29572 | You call it pushing in, do you, Gordon? 29572 You have about seven years to serve, Rockstro, have n''t you? |
29572 | You have n''t forgotten the Smoky Creek wreck? 29572 You mean Seagrue, the Montana cowboy? |
29572 | You wo n''t draw? 29572 You wo n''t think me abrupt, will you?" |
29572 | You would n''t? 29572 You would n''t? |
29572 | You''ll let me ride the same road, wo n''t you-- even if I ca n''t keep up? |
29572 | You''re going to send us back to Medicine Bend with the car, I suppose? |
29572 | You''re not going away for good, Murray? |
29572 | You''ve thrown yourself, have n''t you, Murray? |
29572 | You''ve turned against me too, have you, you gray- haired wolf? 29572 _ Ve gates?_""How''s that?" |
29572 | _ Ve gates?_"How''s that? |
29572 | _ Wie geht es?_ Do n''t pretend you ca n''t make out my German. 29572 ''Tell me, Klein,''I asked, after he had quit dragging me out-- he''s a Hanoverian--''where did you get your pull? 29572 ''What''s the matter with your face, Bill?'' 29572 ''Where''s the new superintendent?'' 29572 ''Where''s your dad?'' 29572 Ai n''t that what you want? |
29572 | All I want to know is, will you go with me?" |
29572 | All?" |
29572 | Am I to remember first that he is your husband?" |
29572 | Am I your cowboy, to be defiled with your curses?" |
29572 | And are n''t we five able- bodied jays, gentlemen? |
29572 | And did he sit there while you talked this over with the college guy?" |
29572 | And have n''t they laid out one day''s work for us, good and plenty? |
29572 | And have n''t you made a radical mistake to start with?" |
29572 | And how about your height? |
29572 | And how are you? |
29572 | And how will you get back?" |
29572 | And what horror might not another day bring-- what lives still closer to her life be taken? |
29572 | Are n''t you happy here? |
29572 | Are n''t you? |
29572 | Are the men there to- night? |
29572 | Are you a doctor?" |
29572 | Are you engaged to Dicksie?" |
29572 | Are you engaged to anybody?" |
29572 | Are you going to eat all the bacon, Mr. McCloud, or do we draw a portion of it? |
29572 | Are you hurt?" |
29572 | Are you plucky?" |
29572 | Are you really alive and unhurt? |
29572 | Are you willing to say that I stand in the way of a settlement?" |
29572 | Arrest Sinclair? |
29572 | Bill, this is old Harvey Du Sang, meanest man in the mountains to his enemies and the whitest to his friends-- eh, Harvey?" |
29572 | Bring him down here, will you, and see he does n''t go to the dogs? |
29572 | Bucks?" |
29572 | But I''ve got only two minutes for it all, only two minutes; do you think Puss has any on the stove?" |
29572 | But did you know that Williams shot down Gordon Smith''s only brother, a trainmaster, in cold blood in front of the Wickiup at Medicine Bend? |
29572 | But he wo n''t leave the country; do you think he will?" |
29572 | But how did you_ ever_ get here? |
29572 | But is he as pitiless as they say, Marion?" |
29572 | But what has that to do with your trouble? |
29572 | But where am I to board? |
29572 | But, Miss Dicksie, could n''t we ride back to the house and ride around the other way into camp? |
29572 | By the way, Mrs. Sinclair, does this man keep you supplied with transportation?" |
29572 | By the way, are you a detective, Fatty? |
29572 | By the way, may I ask which shoulder?" |
29572 | CHAPTER XXI SUPPER IN CAMP"Will you never be done with your telephoning?" |
29572 | Ca n''t you do something for him?" |
29572 | Ca n''t you eat anything? |
29572 | Can it be George Seagrue? |
29572 | Can we stay here all night?" |
29572 | Can you manage that? |
29572 | Can you name one? |
29572 | Come, now, who is going to walk in first? |
29572 | Could I keep him from going?" |
29572 | Could Puss put up a lunch I could take to him? |
29572 | Could either of them ever quite forget it? |
29572 | Could they be sent against Sinclair? |
29572 | Could you, honestly? |
29572 | Cousin Lance is superintending the street work-- and whom do you think I am going to name it after? |
29572 | Dancing, do n''t you know me?" |
29572 | Dare I ask--_why_ do they call you Whispering Smith? |
29572 | Dear me, it is kind of nice, to be able to order up a train when you want one in a hurry, is n''t it, Marion? |
29572 | Deserved or not, whatever she should say or not say, what would she feel? |
29572 | Dicksie, are you crazy? |
29572 | Dicksie, unabashed, kept right on:"Well, do you know how traffic is increasing over there, with the trains running only two months now? |
29572 | Did I tell you how we picked up the trail yesterday? |
29572 | Did Wickwire have a talk with you? |
29572 | Did he make good? |
29572 | Did n''t Marion tell you? |
29572 | Did n''t you ask me to tell the story?" |
29572 | Did you ever see such eyes in a human being, set like that and blinking so in the light? |
29572 | Did you expect me to sit with folded hands when I heard you were ill anywhere in the wide world?" |
29572 | Did you know Bug Robinson?" |
29572 | Did you know I used to be a cowboy in the mountains years ago? |
29572 | Did you know there are two men out at the crossing now, guarding it with rifles? |
29572 | Did your grandfather serve as a grenadier under old Frederick William and was he kidnapped?'' |
29572 | Did your ride make you ill? |
29572 | Do I know any of you?" |
29572 | Do n''t be bashful; you''ve got friends on the division if you are Irish, eh?" |
29572 | Do n''t you believe it? |
29572 | Do n''t you remember my telling about the man that got Chuck Williams and hauled him out of the Cache on a buckboard? |
29572 | Do n''t you suppose I know he spends his time loafing around your shop?" |
29572 | Do n''t you think I would go anywhere to save the ranch? |
29572 | Do n''t you want to freshen up? |
29572 | Do n''t you?" |
29572 | Do they give interest on passes?" |
29572 | Do you hear me? |
29572 | Do you know President Bucks? |
29572 | Do you know Whispering Smith? |
29572 | Do you know anything about the infernal climate there? |
29572 | Do you know him?" |
29572 | Do you know what a derelict is? |
29572 | Do you know what this young lady did this morning? |
29572 | Do you know whether it is true?" |
29572 | Do you know, I have been waiting in town three or four hours now for Cousin Lance? |
29572 | Do you know, I send him an annual every year? |
29572 | Do you mind going out under the cottonwood?" |
29572 | Do you never do that?" |
29572 | Do you remember the tramp who had his legs crushed and lay in the sun all morning? |
29572 | Do you remember-- in the Pan Handle? |
29572 | Do you suppose I am going to mix up in a fight like this? |
29572 | Do you think_ I_ want to get killed? |
29572 | Do you want him in the street to- night?" |
29572 | Do you want money or a pass?" |
29572 | Do you want them to wait till I''m gray- headed?" |
29572 | Do you want to get out of it, or do you want me to?" |
29572 | Does she know, do you think? |
29572 | Does your belt hurt? |
29572 | Du Sang looked at him closely as he went on:"What kind of a way is this to treat anybody? |
29572 | Du Sang, blinking, spoke first:"Which of you fellows is heading this round- up?" |
29572 | Find my way back?" |
29572 | Five strong- arm suckers? |
29572 | For God''s sake, why did n''t_ one_ of them stay at the house?" |
29572 | Give me a cigar-- haven''t got any? |
29572 | Given up, have they? |
29572 | God help me, how am I to answer a question like that?" |
29572 | Great luck, was n''t it? |
29572 | Had I better lead him down while you wait up on the hill in the shade?" |
29572 | Have I been carrying Marion Sinclair''s pin for a month?" |
29572 | Have I ever bothered you? |
29572 | Have I?" |
29572 | Have n''t I an agreeable part of the railroad business, do n''t you think? |
29572 | Have n''t I any duty toward you, perhaps? |
29572 | Have n''t you been treated right?" |
29572 | Have they had feed or water?" |
29572 | Have we got some of your cattle?" |
29572 | Have you a cook? |
29572 | Have you come to surrender yourself?" |
29572 | Have you heard from Gordon Smith?" |
29572 | Have you ordered up an engine?" |
29572 | Have you plenty of water?" |
29572 | He called twice to her before she turned, and her words almost stunned him:"Why did you not detain Sinclair here to- night? |
29572 | He is a jay with a gun, and you may tell him I said so; do you hear? |
29572 | He is so much older than I am that he ought to be the sensible one of the family, do n''t you think so? |
29572 | Heard about the hold- up? |
29572 | Here''s to the cup that we drain to the end, Even women have to be plucky, do n''t they, Marion? |
29572 | How are they all? |
29572 | How are you, dear? |
29572 | How can I go to a man that I talked to as I talked to him in your house and ask for help? |
29572 | How can I go to him after my cousin has threatened to kill him, and gone into court to prevent his coming on our land? |
29572 | How can I know which it shall be? |
29572 | How can I think? |
29572 | How could Whispering Smith have allowed any one he had a care for to be exposed in this dreadful way? |
29572 | How could he know that Marion was keeping nearly all the block supplied with funds? |
29572 | How could we notify him without knowing where he was? |
29572 | How dare you call me names?" |
29572 | How did you get through at the ranch?" |
29572 | How did you happen to come into the mountains? |
29572 | How did you spend all your time between the ranch and the foothills?" |
29572 | How do I know? |
29572 | How do you feel?" |
29572 | How do you suppose I should feel if you were killed? |
29572 | How is that?" |
29572 | How many men did you bring?" |
29572 | How many would you take away, sir?" |
29572 | How then, McCloud asked himself, could Marion be normally hard pressed for money? |
29572 | How times have changed in railroading, have n''t they? |
29572 | How_ can_ I go to him and ask for help now-- after Cousin Lance has gone into court about the line and everything? |
29572 | I ca n''t understand it at all; but he_ is_ safe, is n''t he? |
29572 | I carry an inspector''s card from the Mountain Stock Association-- do you want to see it? |
29572 | I certainly should n''t eat this stuff if I were n''t, should you, Miss Dunning? |
29572 | I leave first-- that''s understood, I hope-- and if your pink- eyed friend is waiting outside tell him there is nothing doing, will you, Murray? |
29572 | I should like to think if anything should happen to me you would n''t forget her?" |
29572 | I suppose I may light a cigarette, boys, before you turn loose the fireworks?" |
29572 | I suppose it would be useless to ask where you have been to- day?" |
29572 | I suppose one of you will give me a match?" |
29572 | I suppose you''ll pay my expenses back?" |
29572 | I think Mr. Lee handles trains shockingly every time George tries to get home like this on Saturday nights-- now do n''t you? |
29572 | I think it was the fellow that shot so well with the rifle at the barbecue-- what was his name? |
29572 | I think the other way into the camp-- say, around by the railroad bridge-- would be prettier, do n''t you?" |
29572 | I think''Bucks''makes a dandy name for a town, do n''t you? |
29572 | I''m not saying anything, am I?" |
29572 | I''ve been afraid I could n''t stand it to be near you and not tell you----""What need you be afraid to tell me?" |
29572 | If I can once get out of this accursed man- slaughtering business, Dicksie-- How old are you? |
29572 | If I had a mountain girl that would do as much as that for me I would----""What would you do?" |
29572 | If I had just a hundred more of''em the company could have my job-- what?" |
29572 | If we go to him and ask him for help he will give it to us if he can; if he ca n''t, what harm is done? |
29572 | If you ca n''t drop a man in the saddle at two hundred and fifty yards, what do you think you''d look like after a break with me? |
29572 | If you could just find the basin and some water and a towel-- you could n''t find a brush, could you? |
29572 | Illustration:"And whom may I say the message is from?"] |
29572 | In her surprise she rose to her feet, and Marion spoke quickly:"Oh, Mr. McCloud, is it you? |
29572 | In town, is he? |
29572 | Is it burned up?" |
29572 | Is it stomatitis, McCloud? |
29572 | Is it the stomach? |
29572 | Is n''t it a shame? |
29572 | Is n''t it for me to see you safely to the house? |
29572 | Is n''t it terrible?" |
29572 | Is n''t it, Cherry?" |
29572 | Is n''t that fine? |
29572 | Is n''t that true? |
29572 | Is n''t that true? |
29572 | Is n''t your steak right?" |
29572 | Is that English?" |
29572 | Is that the way you put judgment on a man that''s got no friends left because they start a new lie on him every day? |
29572 | Is the moon up? |
29572 | Is there any man that wants to come over?" |
29572 | Is this fine handwriting yours? |
29572 | Is your heart pumping, George? |
29572 | Is your name Smith?" |
29572 | It has n''t fallen much, but the pressure seems to be off the bank, if you know what that means?" |
29572 | It''s good to see him getting the recognition he deserves, is n''t it? |
29572 | Kennedy, will you take the rear end of the bar? |
29572 | Lance Dunning spoke with increasing harshness:"By whose order was that done? |
29572 | Like lovely woman, it does not seek us, we seek it,"persisted the orator,"_ That_ at least is so, is n''t it?" |
29572 | Look at me; ai n''t I handsome? |
29572 | Marion, I want to talk a few minutes with you, may I? |
29572 | Marion, are you keeping something from me? |
29572 | May I fill your cup?" |
29572 | May I have my meals here with you as I used to there?" |
29572 | May n''t I offer you some sort of refreshment?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | McCloud?" |
29572 | Nice mules, McCloud, ai n''t they? |
29572 | Nineteen? |
29572 | No, you never heard that in this part of the country, did you? |
29572 | No? |
29572 | No? |
29572 | No? |
29572 | Not to let her go away with him on horseback, and not to leave her where she will be alone with him in the house?" |
29572 | Now Bob and Gene Johnson were at Oroville when you left, were they, Bob?" |
29572 | Now I ask you one fair question only: Did you need the money?" |
29572 | Now do you think I am giving you confidence?" |
29572 | Now tell me one thing-- what did you get for covering this trail? |
29572 | Now tell me one thing-- will you give up the trail?" |
29572 | Now then: Are you engaged?" |
29572 | Now what are we going to do? |
29572 | Now what have I ever done to you that you should turn a trick like this on me? |
29572 | Now what have you got in for me?" |
29572 | Now, Rockstro, do you still drag your left leg?" |
29572 | Odd, is n''t it? |
29572 | Oh, Miss Dunning, may I have some more coffee? |
29572 | On his knee he turned to Whispering Smith, whom he seemed to know, with an abrupt question:"How far do you call it?" |
29572 | Only, what shall it be?" |
29572 | Or do n''t you think I have any feeling?" |
29572 | Poor Baggs sold his life in six words:"Why, yes; be you Banks''s men?" |
29572 | Really, have you the asthma? |
29572 | Really? |
29572 | Rebstock, do you think, if I wanted_ you_, I would send a message for you to come out and meet me? |
29572 | Shall I let him in a minute?" |
29572 | She rode on and on and on-- would it never end? |
29572 | Should he draw and end it? |
29572 | Should n''t I look beautiful asking help from him?" |
29572 | Should you dare to go with her to Sinclair''s ranch if she decides to go to him?" |
29572 | Should you mind coming right to my room? |
29572 | Sinclair spoke harshly:"Do you think you can fool me? |
29572 | Sinclair, will you go back to work?" |
29572 | Sinclair?" |
29572 | So we do seek it, do n''t we? |
29572 | So you think I''m after you, do you? |
29572 | Stormy Gorman?" |
29572 | Suppose he could speak now, do n''t you think he would want you to do as I say? |
29572 | Suppose he should object?" |
29572 | Suppose you give me a chance to ride over the ground with you again and let us see whether we ca n''t arrive at some conclusion?" |
29572 | Tell Cherry to come and take away the supper things, will you? |
29572 | That does n''t look reasonable, does it?" |
29572 | That makes you breathe hard, does n''t it? |
29572 | That would be a pretty piece of business, would n''t it? |
29572 | That''s what makes your eyes so bright, is it? |
29572 | The albino is riding in the middle now, is n''t he? |
29572 | The glass broke on the floor, and Marion exclaimed,"What is that?" |
29572 | The question is, do you want to make the effort?" |
29572 | The whole question is, who is going to run this division, Sinclair and his gang or the company? |
29572 | There''s no papers out against me, is there?" |
29572 | This is Whispering Smith, is n''t it? |
29572 | This is what you call pretty fair water for this part of the valley, is n''t it?" |
29572 | To ride into a valley like this and drive a man''s cows away from his door without notice or papers? |
29572 | Try that piano, Miss Dicksie, will you? |
29572 | Visiting friends or doing business?" |
29572 | Want to go?" |
29572 | Was Du Sang in the penitentiary with you at Fort City? |
29572 | Was I right, was I wrong? |
29572 | Was he being made fun of? |
29572 | Was she pretty? |
29572 | Was there a sound in the wind? |
29572 | Was there much water last spring? |
29572 | Water? |
29572 | Water?" |
29572 | We must wash his face and hands, do n''t you think so? |
29572 | Well, do you think I ever could forget either of those men, Farrell?" |
29572 | Well, if I were, what are you going to do about it? |
29572 | Well, what shall I wear?" |
29572 | Well, who are we waiting for? |
29572 | Were you paid last night or this morning?" |
29572 | Were you the conductor?" |
29572 | What about the horses?" |
29572 | What are you afraid of? |
29572 | What are you going to do?" |
29572 | What are you looking for?" |
29572 | What are you thinking of? |
29572 | What can I ask? |
29572 | What can I say? |
29572 | What can we do there, Rooney?" |
29572 | What can you do? |
29572 | What could he do if they should be able to secrete themselves until dark between him and Wickwire? |
29572 | What did he look like?" |
29572 | What do you mean? |
29572 | What do you mean?" |
29572 | What do you say?" |
29572 | What do you think, all of you?" |
29572 | What do you think? |
29572 | What do you think? |
29572 | What do you think?" |
29572 | What do you want to go back to the penitentiary for? |
29572 | What do you want?" |
29572 | What do you want?" |
29572 | What do you want?" |
29572 | What do you want?" |
29572 | What has happened? |
29572 | What have I been thinking of?" |
29572 | What have they been held at Point of Rocks for? |
29572 | What have you got to kick about? |
29572 | What is it you mean?" |
29572 | What is it?" |
29572 | What is the favor?" |
29572 | What is this, are they back? |
29572 | What man would get out a bunch of horses like this and work them this hard so early in the morning? |
29572 | What might be your business?" |
29572 | What should you think, Mr. Dunning, of putting all the teams you can at that end of the work?" |
29572 | What show has a poor man got against all the money there is in the country? |
29572 | What show would I have with a packed jury in Medicine Bend? |
29572 | What sort of red- blood toxin does he throw into his gang to draw out a spirit like that? |
29572 | What will your Cousin Lance say? |
29572 | What you going to do about it?" |
29572 | What''s that stuff they are hauling?" |
29572 | What''s the use of my eating my heart out over the way I''ve been treated? |
29572 | What''s the use? |
29572 | What''s this, crying? |
29572 | What''s this? |
29572 | What? |
29572 | What? |
29572 | What?" |
29572 | What?" |
29572 | When I propose to put you into my car and pull you out of this, why do you say it is too late? |
29572 | When you leave here tell Bob Scott to meet me at the Wickiup with the horses at eleven o''clock, will you?" |
29572 | When?" |
29572 | Where are the verses, Mr. Smith? |
29572 | Where did I come from? |
29572 | Where is Whispering Smith?" |
29572 | Where is the baking powder? |
29572 | Where is the trouble?" |
29572 | Where is your appetite? |
29572 | Where''s your cousin? |
29572 | Which is the older? |
29572 | Which shall it be?" |
29572 | Which way did they go?" |
29572 | Who are you, that you order me what to do, where to stay? |
29572 | Who has a better right?" |
29572 | Who is he?" |
29572 | Who is it that''s watching me? |
29572 | Who is that on the right? |
29572 | Who is that, Farrell?" |
29572 | Who is the albino, by the way? |
29572 | Who''s going with us, Farrell?" |
29572 | Why did n''t he fire again?" |
29572 | Why did n''t they send the head of their own gang after me?'' |
29572 | Why did you not arrest him?" |
29572 | Why did you not send me word? |
29572 | Why do n''t you ask me what I thought the day you acted so beautifully at Crawling Stone Ranch? |
29572 | Why do n''t you ask me whether I''m wet? |
29572 | Why has n''t this line been repaired?" |
29572 | Why not put him at the head of a party to run''em down?" |
29572 | Why not travel a little? |
29572 | Why not? |
29572 | Why should n''t he write to my mother? |
29572 | Why the devil should I arrest Sinclair? |
29572 | Why was n''t I notified? |
29572 | Why would you not do as I wanted you to?" |
29572 | Why?" |
29572 | Why?" |
29572 | Will you advise them to go back to work-- all except Karg?" |
29572 | Will you do me a favor?" |
29572 | Will you get out of this town to- night? |
29572 | Will you have a care for yourself, Gordon?" |
29572 | Will you shake hands?" |
29572 | Will you telephone the stables?" |
29572 | Wo n''t you at least pretend I can act as an escort and let me go with you? |
29572 | Would you believe it? |
29572 | You are rich and generous, Dicksie; do something for him, will you? |
29572 | You do n''t know him? |
29572 | You do n''t understand? |
29572 | You do n''t want to go down, do you?" |
29572 | You have n''t heard, then?" |
29572 | You heard me, did n''t you?" |
29572 | You keep him out of Medicine Bend, Bob; will you do it? |
29572 | You need fear nothing for yourself in going with her, and nothing for her if you can cover just those two points-- can you remember? |
29572 | You shooting here?" |
29572 | You think he ca n''t shoot? |
29572 | You will ride to Medicine Bend to- night, will you?" |
29572 | You wo n''t fight? |
29572 | You wo n''t? |
29572 | You''ll break with me, will you, Rebstock? |
29572 | You''ll hear no more of this, and I''m going to ask you a question: Why did you go against this when you knew you''d have to square yourself with me?" |
29572 | You,"he added, scrutinizing the third man to scare him to death--"I think you were at Tower W. No? |
29572 | Your men do n''t wear silk dresses, do they?" |
29572 | a year goes like an hour when you''re in love, does n''t it? |
29572 | and, Marion,"he exclaimed, turning without releasing his wife from his arms,"how can I ever make good for all this delay? |
29572 | he called to Dancing,"what water have you got?" |
29572 | he called to Dancing,"what''s the matter with your wood? |
29572 | now who''s this coming here on horseback? |
29572 | or whether any consideration ought to come before that? |
29572 | said he mildly,"what is loose? |
29572 | why do n''t you move the table?" |
