12398 But wilt thou write often, when I am gone? 12398 But, with respect to the case put, how knew we, till the theft was committed, that the miser did actually set so romantic a value upon the treasure? 12398 Can a wise young lady be easy under such censure? 12398 Could I have been more than so at the end of what is called a happy life of twenty, or thirty, or forty years to come? 12398 Could ever wilful hard- heartedness, the Colonel asks, be more severely punished? 12398 Did not the lady herself once putt his very point home upon me? 12398 Did not the surgeon tell me I might? 12398 Do I not pay for it now? 12398 Do the surgeons actually give her over? 12398 Do you think you are among those who know not how to make allowances? 12398 Does it not look as if your principal motive to oblige was to obtain applause? 12398 For am I not her husband? 12398 For is she not mine? 12398 For, I suppose, Jack, it is no joke: she is certainly and bonâ fide dead: I''n''t she?

12398 How often, with you, has impetuosity brought on abasement? 12398 How then can I expect mercy any where else? 12398 How, then, for your own honour, can we allow of your excuses?'' 12398 I came back to the bed- side when the surgeons had inspected the fracture; and asked them, If there were any expectation of her life? 12398 I did not ask her, by whom reduced? 12398 I must go down to this officious Peer-- Who the devil sent for him? 12398 If I marry either a sordid or an imperious wretch, can I, do you think, live with him? 12398 In half of any of these periods, what friends might not I have mourned for? 12398 In such a case, my Cousin, where shall the evil stop?--And who shall avenge on you?--And who on your avenger? 12398 Is not the man guilty of a high degree of injustice, who is more apt to give contradiction, than able to bear it? 12398 Is not this Mr. Morden''s hand? 12398 Justly, said she, does she call me so; for we had but one heart, but one soul, between us; and now my better half is torn from me-- What shall I do? 12398 Let me consider, Lovelace-- Whose turn can be next? 12398 Let me know, if the d----d mother be yet the subject of the devil''s own vengeance-- if the old wretch be dead or alive? 12398 May I recover? 12398 Meantime, continued I, tell me, with temper and calmness, why was you so desirous to see me? 12398 Mrs. Carter asked, To what purpose, if the operation would not save her? 12398 Now, Lovelace, let me know if the word grace can be read from my pen without a sneer from thee and thy associates? 12398 O my Aunt, said Arabella, no more of that!--Who would have thought that the dear creature had been such a penitent? 12398 Once more then let me execrate-- but now violence and passion again predominate!--And how can it be otherwise? 12398 Pray, do you never travel thirty or forty miles? 12398 Shall we suppose, that you sing but indifferently? 12398 She, no doubt, is happy: but who shall forgive for a whole family, in all its branches made miserable for their lives? 12398 Sir, who is good? 12398 Such exalted generosity!--Why didst thou put into my craving hands the copy of her will? 12398 Supposing this excellent person absent, who, my dear, if your example spread, shall sing after you? 12398 The CHILD so much a woman, what must the WOMAN be? 12398 The conquest did not pay trouble; and what was there in one woman more than another? 12398 They that have seen him shall say, Where is he? 12398 Thou art a pretty fellow for this: For how wouldst thou have saved her? 12398 Thou talkest of a wife, Jack: What thinkest you of our Charlotte? 12398 To him who had been the cause that thou wert cut off in the bloom of youth?'' 12398 To what purpose did the doctor write, if she was so near her end?--Why, as every body says, did he not send sooner?-- Or, Why at all? 12398 Upon such despicable terms as these, think you that I could bear to live? 12398 Upon the whole, Jack, had not the lady died, would there have been half so much said of it, as there is? 12398 Was I the cause of her death? 12398 Was he unable to work himself up to a resolution, till he knew me to be out of the kingdom? 12398 Were she a man, do you think, Sir, she, at this time, would have your advice to take upon such a subject as that upon which you write? 12398 What else signifies her forgiveness? 12398 What great matters has she suffered, that grief should kill her thus? 12398 What have Tourville and Mowbray to do, that they can not set out with you? 12398 What mercy can I expect? 12398 What methods didst thou take to save her? 12398 What though I treated her like a villain? 12398 What was the world to her, wringing her hands, now the child of her bosom, and of her heart, was no more? 12398 Whence can this particularity arise? 12398 Which is Mr. Belford''s? 12398 Who can bear such reflections as these? 12398 Who could forbear to do so? 12398 Who knows but that those things, which will help to secure you in the way you are got into, may convert me? 12398 Who, I? 12398 Whose else can she be? 12398 Why not? 12398 Why sentest thou to me the posthumous letter?--What thou I was earnest to see the will? 12398 Why should I oppress others, to gratify myself? 12398 Why, he asks, did his mother bring him up to know no controul? 12398 Why, then, should such cursed qualms take him?--Who would have thought he had been such poor blood? 12398 Why, why did my mother bring me up to bear no controul? 12398 Will amputation save her? 12398 Will it avail you any thing? 12398 Will those be an objection? 12398 Will you not, dear Sir, favour us with your presence at this melancholy time? 12398 Wilt thou then piece the thread where thou brokest it off? 12398 Would she not have been mine had I not? 12398 Would thy fond love his grace to her controul, And in these low abodes of sin and pain Her pure, exalted soul, Unjustly, for thy partial good detain? 12398 Yet who but must pity the unhappy mother? 12398 Yet why he should, I can not see: for if she is gone, she is gone; and who can help it? 12398 You hate them; and they would be gainers by his death; rejoicers in your''s-- And have you not done mischief enough already? 12398 and, being forgiven by her, am I not the chosen of her heart? 12398 as if I had never offended?--Whose then can she be but mine? 12398 or could I help it? 12398 preferable to the talent of singing? 12398 said she, and is it come to this?--O my poor Nancy!--How shall I be able to break the matter to my Nancy? 12398 said she, did you not tell me I might recover? 12398 to see him sit silent in a corner, when he has tired himself with his mock majesty, and with his argumentation,( Who so fond of arguing as he?) 12398 what temptations from worldly prosperity might I not have encountered with? 12398 what will become of me?--Yet tell me,( for the surgeons have told you the truth, no doubt,) tell me, shall I do well again? 12398 when, shall I know a joyful hour? 12398 who dare call me to account? 11733 And did it cost you much to give up your ideas?"
11733And do n''t you?
11733And how do you do, my dear Mr Hare? 11733 And the cloister you are always speaking about, where will that be?"
11733And what do you think of him?
11733And what is this?
11733And which are the pinnacles?
11733And why, Kitty?
11733And with whom do you begin?
11733And you have, I suppose, translated some of these poems?
11733And you still are determined on becoming a priest?
11733Are you going to be here some time?
11733But could I be held accountable for what I said?
11733But what is it, Miss, what is it? 11733 But what is the matter, dear?
11733But what is the matter.... Are you ill?
11733But why not a light timber lantern tower?
11733But, oh, how pretty; will it be really like that?
11733Did you ever hear such rubbish, or affectation, whichever you like to call it? 11733 Do n''t talk nonsense, do you think I do n''t know you?
11733Do you never change your mind, Kitty?
11733Do you think so? 11733 Do you think the house will look prettier than it does now?
11733Horror of what?
11733I always keep a good supply of liquor; have a cigar?
11733I do n''t know,said Kitty, laughing,"but how funny, was it not, that the gipsy girl should guess right?"
11733I mean that I am in love with you, will you love me?
11733I was delirious, was I not?
11733I''ve fed him since he was a little kitten; is n''t he sweet?
11733In his hymns?
11733Is Mr John Norton at home?
11733Is that all?... 11733 Is there any other standpoint?"
11733It ought to be very handsome; it cost five hundred, did it not?
11733Kitty, Kitty, what do you mean? 11733 Now''aven''t you a copper or two for a poor fellow, Missie?"
11733Now, can anything be more charming? 11733 Now, do n''t run so fast, Missie, wo n''t you give a poor fellow something?"
11733Now, do you not understand what I mean when I say that the hymns of Prudentius are an anticipation of the form of the English ballad?... 11733 Of course it is, what else have I to think about; what else concerns middle- aged people like you and me but our children?
11733Of course, but not a Jesuit...."And why? 11733 Oh, John, dear, you are not really determined to pull the house down?"
11733Oh, John, why should you do away with the billiard- room; why should n''t the monks play billiards? 11733 Oh, is n''t he a beauty?
11733Oh, yes you''ave; what about those pretty lips?
11733Quite true; I know you save me a great deal of expense; but really..."Really what? 11733 Really, do you think I do?"
11733Shall I fill the bath, Miss? 11733 Shall I, shall I propose to her now?"
11733The roses, the snake, the cliff''s edge, was it then only a dream?
11733Then you will marry me?
11733Very well then, one of these days...."And I may tell my mother of your promise to- night?... 11733 Well, it is not more than eight miles; you do n''t think you could manage it?"
11733Well, perhaps it is; but tell me, I am curious to hear what you want to talk to me about.... Something about John, is it not?
11733Well, what will you do?
11733Were mother and son ever so different?
11733What a beautiful walk you will have, Mr Norton; but are n''t you tired? 11733 What a horrible man... he attacked me, ill- treated me... what for?"
11733What are gables, John?
11733What can he mean by having arrangements to make?
11733What can you expect after a month of heavy rain? 11733 What circumstances?"
11733What day will you come and see us, father dear?
11733What do you mean, John?
11733What do you mean?
11733What do you mean?
11733What do you think, Kitty, would you like to have your fortune told?
11733What is an apex? 11733 What is this?
11733What then?
11733What would you do if I were to get so tired that I could not go back or forward?
11733What? 11733 Where is Kitty?"
11733Who was, then?
11733Why do you seek to make yourself ridiculous?
11733Why do you talk in that way?
11733Why is he not like other people? 11733 Why should she not believe it?"
11733Why? 11733 Why?
11733Wo n''t you cross the poor gipsy''s palm with a bit of silver, my pretty gentleman, and she will tell you your fortune and that of your pretty lady?
11733Yes, Mr Austen has a very nice property; it extends right into the town of Shoreham, does it not?
11733Yes,said she,"but why do n''t you say a round window?"
11733Yes; but do you think I knew what I was saying?
11733You came down here to become a Carmelite monk; what do you mean?
11733You do n''t mean to say that you trace back our north- country ballads to, what do you call him?
11733You promise not to tell?
11733''By breathing torrents of flame and smoke, Your dyke,''said the Saint,''is hindered each minute, What can one expect when the Devil is in it?''
11733''What''s the row?''
11733A girl, a girl... was a girl to soil the ideal he had in view?
11733Ah, life, life, what hast thou for giving save cruel deceptions and miserable wrongs?
11733And Evy and Mary, when would they be married?
11733And I was very near death; I had a narrow escape, doctor?"
11733And then?"
11733And then?...
11733And whom do you speak of next?"
11733And worst news of all, he is, would you believe it?
11733Are you ill?
11733At last she said, unable to bear the suspense any longer:"Are you going to be a priest, John, dear?"
11733Beauty, what was it but temptation?
11733Beside, why should I be tired of being a monk?
11733Blue?
11733But are n''t you a little tired, John?
11733But did I use very bad language?
11733But had they removed that horrid feather- bed?
11733But he is all right now, are n''t you, dear?"
11733But if I am going out with Kitty.... Where is she?"
11733But perhaps you do not know I am writing a book.... Did my mother tell you anything about it?"
11733But tell me, what will you take to drink?
11733But was she sure that she did?
11733But what is the news?"
11733But what was she saying?
11733But why was he thinking of her?
11733But you do n''t care for pets, do you, John?"
11733Claudian''s poem?"
11733Could he abandon this?
11733Did it move?
11733Did you ever hear of such a thing?
11733Do n''t you think that you would find a good comfortable arm- chair very useful for reading purposes?"
11733Do you know the book?"
11733Do you know what he means?
11733For penance I say, You must kneel and pray For hours which will number seven; Fifty times say the rosary,( Fifty,''twill be a poser, eh?)
11733Had he ever loved her?
11733Had he not loved her?
11733Had she ever loved him?
11733Had she not passed the age when the sentimental emotions are liveliest?
11733Had they forgotten to bar up the house?
11733Have you been keeping my mother company ever since?
11733Have you no other coat?
11733Her parasol-- where was it?
11733How I have suffered.... What is the use of growing wheat when we are only getting eight pounds ten a load?...
11733How are they getting on with the cottages that were burnt down?"
11733How often did he ask himself if he were surrendering his true vocation?
11733How often did he beg of God to guide him aright?
11733How well he remembered her words, her laughter, and now... now; was it possible he never would hear her laugh again?
11733How will she save herself?
11733I am only seventeen?"
11733I had forgotten, but what are you to do?
11733I want to talk to you; but we shall have plenty of time presently; you''ll stay and dine?
11733I was delirious, was I not?"
11733I wonder what flower I should compare you to.... Shall I say a rose?
11733Ideas fell.... Was this all; was this all he had struggled for; was he in love?
11733If God in His infinite mercy had not withheld him?...
11733If father knew it, or John knew it, he would be put in prison, and for a very long time.... Why did he attack me?...
11733If he failed... what should he do then?
11733In whose poetry?"
11733Is it a proper thing to transact all his business through a solicitor, and never to see his tenants?
11733Is not that enough?"
11733Is not that so, doctor?"
11733Is there no chance of your ever marrying?"
11733Is this her room?
11733It really was not my fault; I have been passing through a very terrible state of mind lately.... And how do you do, Kitty?
11733It sounds very shocking, does n''t it?
11733It was still night, but what would the day bring to her?
11733Kitty had seen it under all aspects, she had lived in it many years: then why does she look with strained eyes?
11733Look at me, am I unhappy?
11733Me?"
11733Mental and physical wants!--he who may know one may not know the other: is not the absence of one the reason of the other?
11733Now, in the face of such losses, do n''t you think that we should retrench?"
11733O to die, to sink in that beautiful sea, so still, so calm, so calm-- why would it not take her to its bosom and hide her away?
11733Say-- speak, speak man, speak; how did this happen?"
11733Shall I get you a pillow from the next room?
11733Shall I leave hot water here, Miss?"
11733Shall I tell Mr Hare?
11733Should she go back and see if she could find it?
11733Stay, will you have a glass of wine before going upstairs?"
11733The evening seemed to brighten, the tumultuous landscape to grow still, To rob her, and of what?...
11733The watch was gone... but, had she lost it?
11733Then why the anomaly of Italian urns and pilasters; why not red Elizabethan gables and diamond casements?
11733Then you are not going to become a monk?"
11733This hour of beautiful sorrow and roses, how long will it be remembered?
11733Three times out of five when the women met at lunch, Mrs Norton said:"Kitty, would you like to come out for a drive?"
11733Was he responsible for those words?
11733Was his powerlessness a sign from God that he was abandoning his true vocation for a false one?
11733Was it he?
11733Was it true, as the architect said, that it would throw all the front rooms into darkness?
11733Was she safe?
11733Was there anyone in her room?
11733We know which sorrow is the manliest, which appeals to our sympathy, but who can measure the depth of John Norton''s suffering?
11733We wo n''t ask him any questions; we''ll just wait and let him tell his own story....""How do you do, mother?"
11733What about the ball at Steyning?
11733What concern had she in his life?
11733What greater honour could he bestow upon her?
11733What must all this lead to?
11733What reason had he to believe that she would not have him?
11733What was there for him to do?
11733What would the end be?
11733When do you want me to marry you?
11733Which do you think the greater poet?"
11733Why are you not dressed?"
11733Why are you not the same?
11733Why do you dress yourself in that way?
11733Why does he not come and live at his own beautiful place?
11733Why does he not get married?...
11733Why does he not take up his position in the county?
11733Why does it not speak in strange dialect?
11733Why does she grasp the rail of the bed-- why?
11733Why does she shrink?
11733Why not?
11733Why ought I to come to Sussex, and marry my neighbour''s daughter?"
11733Why precipitate another into the gulf of being?"
11733Why should n''t I turn it into a monastery and become a monk?
11733Why should n''t I?
11733Why should she refuse him?
11733Why spoil that charming thing called society by my unlovely presence?
11733Why strive to hasten events?
11733Why this kissing, this approachment of flesh?
11733Why will he not take up his position in the county?"
11733Why will he waste his time with a lot of rubbishy Latin authors?
11733Will he kill it?
11733Will the snake pass by the hiding girl?
11733Will you come home for Christmas?"
11733Will you have a glass of champagne, or a brandy and soda, or what do you say to an absinthe?"
11733Would he succeed in creating the monastery he dreamed of so fondly?
11733Would it precipitate itself into the sea, and would she be engulphed in the universal ruin?
11733Yes, he was sure of that; then why was there no burning grief nor any tears?
11733You wo n''t go out to walk with Kitty Hare?"
11733and who would have expected to see you here?
11733have you had a quarrel with the Jesuits?"
11733of her watch; where was it?
11733quid admirer?
11733quid rideam?
11733right across the downs from Shoreham to Henfield?"
11733ubi gaudeam?
11733why should I insult them?
11733you mean to say you are going to walk home?...
11733you mean to say you never heard the legend?
11889''Tis only, simply, a blessing I ask: a blessing to die with; not to lie with.--Do they know that?
11889''Tis true, by my soul!--Has she not hinted this to Miss Howe, do you think?
11889''What then, my dear and only friend, can I wish for but death?--And what, after all, is death?
11889*** Again they asked her if they should send any word to her lodgings?
11889-- And is this the cause of such a disgraceful insult upon me in the open streets?
11889----But am I to go with men only?
11889--And,''Whether they actually did go to town accordingly, and to Hampstead afterwards?''
11889--Besides, dost think I shall grudge to replace, to three times the value, what she disposes of?
11889--But is not the fact quite otherwise?
11889--Have you ever read Prior''s Alma, Mr. Hickman?
11889--May I not ask, if Miss Howe be here?
11889--This I leave to your inquiry-- for-- your--[shall I call the man---- your?]
11889--What say you to that, Sir- r?
11889A blessing for what, sister Clary?
11889A shower falling, as she spoke,''What,''said she, looking up,''do the elements weep for me?''
11889Again--''Whether she and one of her nieces Montague were to go to town, on an old chancery suit?''
11889Am I not worthy an answer, Miss Harlowe?
11889An honour worth a king''s ransom; and what I would give-- what would I not give?
11889And after all,( methinks thou asked,) art thou still resolved to repair, if reparation be put into thy power?
11889And art thou not about to reform!--Won''t this consent of minds between thee and the widow,[ what age is she, Jack?
11889And can not you say?
11889And do you think, if she was thus thrown into a profound sleep, that she is the only lady that was ever taken at such an advantage?
11889And have I half the obligation to her, that à � neas had to the Queen of Carthage?
11889And how do you, Mr. Lovelace?
11889And if no sake is dear enough to move her Harlowe- spirit in my favour, has she any title to the pity thou so pitifully art always bespeaking for her?
11889And is it fair to punish me for what is my misfortune, and not my fault?
11889And is she not answerable to God, to us, to you, and to all the world who knew her, for the abuse of such talents as she has abused?
11889And must I still wait the return of another messenger?
11889And never was bear so miserably baited as thy poor friend!--And for what?--why for the cruelty of Miss Harlowe: For have I committed any new offence?
11889And now, Lord, what is my hope?
11889And thou art a pretty fellow, art thou not?
11889And what must you be, to be able to look her in the face?
11889And what, returned he, shall be my inducement to take what I do at your hands?--Hay, Sir?
11889And when I came to that sentence, praying for my reformation, perhaps-- Is that there?
11889And whether that family would not exult over me, were I to marry their daughter, as if I dared not to do otherwise?
11889And who can be entitled to this power, if YOU are not?
11889And why should more be asked for me than I can partake of?
11889And why?
11889And will you be so good as to tell me, if I may have any hopes?
11889And wo n''t you take it?
11889And would not every one be able to assign the reason why Clarissa Harlowe chose solitude, and to sequester herself from the world?
11889And would not my conscious eye confess my fault, whether the eyes of others accused me or not?
11889And would you, my dear, in the like case[ whispering her] have yielded to entreaty-- would you have meant no more by the like exclamations?
11889And yet you care not, as I see, to leave the house.--And so, you wo n''t go down, Miss Harlowe?
11889Are you not-- are you not Mr. Belford, Sir?
11889At last, I say; for whose heart have I hitherto moved?
11889Ay, Mr. Hickman, that''s the question: I want to know if the lady says she had?
11889But can there be a stronger instance in point than what the unaccountable resentments of such a lady as Miss Clarissa Harlowe afford us?
11889But canst thou suppose that this admirable woman is not all, is not every thing with me?
11889But dost thou not observe, what a strange, what an uncommon openness of heart reigns in this lady?
11889But have you no things to send for from thence?
11889But how does she know what love, in its flaming ardour, will stimulate men to do?
11889But how much must I write for?
11889But in that, must I not now sit brooding over my past afflictions, and mourning my faults till the hour of my release?
11889But now, what is to be the end of this disgraceful violence?
11889But recovering herself, Very well, said she-- why should not all be of a piece?--Why should not my wretchedness be complete?
11889But say you, Sir, for I would not, methinks, have the wretch capable of this sordid baseness!--Say you, that he is innocent of this last wickedness?
11889But what have you farther heard?
11889But what thinkest thou is the second request she had to make to me?
11889But who can supplant her?
11889But who would spare so very absurd a wrong- head, as should bestow tinsel to make his deformity the more conspicuous?
11889But why run I into length to such a poor thing?
11889But why so?
11889But why, said I, out of danger?--When can this be justly said of creatures, who hold by so uncertain a tenure?
11889But you say there is a third thing you blame the lady for: May I ask what that is?
11889But, Sir, had not the lady something given her to make her sleep?
11889But, Sir, if there be any truth in the story, what is he?
11889But, after all, it would be very whimsical, would it not, if all my plots and contrivances should end in wedlock?
11889But, after your letter, what can be said?
11889But, as you say, whom has it moved, that you wished to move?
11889But, dear Madam, why wo n''t you send to your lodgings?
11889But, in the letter you have, does she, without reserve, express her contrition?
11889But, was that the case?
11889Can I help her implacable spirit?
11889Can I vow duty to one so wicked, and hazard my salvation by joining myself to so great a profligate, now I know him to be so?
11889Can it be?
11889Can nobody, joined in another gentleman, be applied to, who will see that so fine a creature is not ill used?
11889Can she be any man''s but mine?
11889Can there be any atonement for her crime?
11889Can they by it purchase a sponge that will wipe out from the year the past fatal four months of my life?
11889Canst thou not form some scheme to come at the copies of these letters, or the substance of them at least, and of that of her other correspondencies?
11889Charlotte asked if I did not still seem inclinable to do the lady justice, if she would accept of me?
11889Cot- so, Sir, I know you are deemed to be a man of wit: but may I not ask if these things sit not too light upon you?
11889Could I ever have thought that my doting- piece, as every one called you, would have done thus?
11889Dear Miss Lloyd, said he, with an air,( taking her hand as he quitted my mother''s,) tell me, tell me, is Miss Arabella Harlowe here?
11889Did ever comedy end more happily than this long trial?
11889Did the two ladies tell you who the gentleman was?--Or, did they say any more on the subject?
11889Do you come hither to persuade me to hate prudery, as you call it, as much as you do?
11889Do you flatter me, Sir?
11889Do you think you are to stay here as long as you live?
11889Do you use spectacles, Mr. Hickman?
11889Does this not show, that revenge has very little sway in her mind; though she can retain so much proper resentment?
11889Dost think she is not a little touched at times?
11889Excuse me, Sir; but is it likely, that he who makes so free with his GOD, will scruple any thing that may serve his turn with his fellow creature?
11889For who is it that would not give these two admirable persons to each other, were not his morals an objection?
11889Had she any money about her?
11889Has she in it no reflecting hints?
11889Have you heard of him?
11889Have you seen it, Sir?
11889He then turned to my mother, resolved to be even with her too: Where, good Madam, could Miss Howe get all this spirit?
11889Her late husband could not stand in the matrimonial contention of Who should?
11889Hickman!--Who can account for the workings and ways of a passionate and offended woman?
11889His whole broad face lifted up at me: Spectacles!--What makes you ask me such a question?
11889How came it over with you?
11889How did she like the people of the house?
11889How is it possible to imagine, that a woman, who has all these consolations to reflect upon, will die of a broken heart?
11889I am surprised, Sir!----Then, after all, you do n''t think of marrying Miss Harlowe!----After the hard usage---- What hard usage, Mr. Hickman?
11889I asked, if they thought the Harlowes deserved any consideration from me?
11889I hope, Mr. Hickman, nobody questions mine neither?
11889I pity him at my heart; but can do him no good.--What consolation can I give him, either from his past life, or from his future prospects?
11889I proceeded-- Have you no commission to employ me in; deserted as you are by all your friends; among strangers, though I doubt not, worthy people?
11889I think your name is Belford?
11889If she would give herself these airs in his life- time, what would she attempt to do after his death?
11889Indeed, I wish they had thought fit to take other measures with me: But who shall judge for them?
11889Is it not better that you make it up?
11889Is it not enough to be despised and rejected?
11889Is it possible she can do herself, her family, her friends, so much justice any other way, as by marrying me?
11889Is not my condition greatly mended?
11889Is your name Clarissa Harlowe, Madam?
11889It seems she was at first displeased; yet withdrew her objection: but, after a pause, asked them, What she should do?
11889Ladies may persuade themselves to any thing: but how can she answer for what other men would or would not have done in the same circumstances?
11889Lady S.| Ay, Sir, what say you to this?
11889Let me know what you have heard, Mr. Hickman?
11889Lord M. What say you, Sir, to this?
11889Miss D''Oily, upon his complimenting her, among a knot of ladies, asked him, in their hearing, how Miss Clarissa Harlowe did?
11889Miss SALLY ANDERSON,[ You have heard of her, no doubt?]
11889More than is absolutely necessary for my own peace?
11889Moreover, has she it not in her power to disappoint, as much as she has been disappointed?
11889My Lord told me, that he believed in his conscience there was not a viler fellow upon God''s earth than me.--What signifies mincing the matter?
11889My sister''s letter, communicating this grace, is a severe one: but as she writes to me as from every body, how could I expect it to be otherwise?
11889O wretches; what a sex is your''s!--Have you all one dialect?
11889Only, as these consequences follow one another so closely, while they are new, how can I help being anew affected?
11889Or will she be here?
11889Pray read on, my Lord-- I told you how you would all admire her----or, shall I read?
11889Prison, friend!--What dost thou call thy house?
11889Prisoner, Sirs!--What-- How-- Why-- What have I done?
11889She asked how long it would be before they returned?
11889She asked if Mabell should attend her, till it were seen what her friends would do for her in discharge of the debt?
11889She asked if they knew Mr. Lovelace?
11889She asked, what was meant by this usage of her?
11889She seems to be a person of condition; and, ill as she is, a very fine woman.----A single lady, I presume?
11889She then spied thy villain-- O thou wretch, said she, where is thy vile master?--Am I again to be his prisoner?
11889Should I not have had a bill delivered me?
11889Should there not?
11889Should you like to be at liberty?
11889The divine Clarissa, Lovelace,--reduced to rejoice for a cup of cold water!--By whom reduced?
11889The latter placing a confidence, the former none, in her man?--Then, whom else have I robbed?
11889The matter now!----Why Lady Betty has two letters from Miss Harlowe, which have told us what''s the matter----Are all women alike with you?
11889Their antiquity always made me reverence them: And how was it possible that thou couldest not, for that reason, if for no other, give them a perusal?
11889Then there are broad freedoms( shall I call them?)
11889Then turning to the officer, Mr. Rowland I think your name is?
11889Then who can write of good persons, and of good subjects, and be capable of admiring them, and not be made serious for the time?
11889Then, if it were, Mr. Hickman, you think she would?
11889There is a widow who lodges in it[ have I not said so formerly?]
11889There, Jack!--Wilt thou, or wilt thou not, take this for a letter?
11889This looks like conscience; do n''t it, Belford?
11889This will save thy word; and, as to mine, can she think worse of me than she does at present?
11889Thou toldest me, that my punishments were but beginning-- Canst thou, O fatal prognosticator, cans thou tell me, where they will end?
11889Unthinking eye- governed creatures!--Would not a little reflection teach us, that a man of merit must be a man of modesty, because a diffident one?
11889Was not her sin committed equally against warning and the light of her own knowledge?
11889Was she not a prisoner?
11889Was that the case?
11889Was the Doctor my friend?
11889We are told he would be glad to marry you: But why, then, did he abandon you?
11889Well, Madam, said I, with as much philosophy as I could assume; and may I ask-- Pray, what was your Ladyship''s answer?
11889Well, Madam; and pray, may I be favoured with the lady''s other letter?
11889Well, Sir, and I suppose what you have to charge me with is, that I was desirous to have all that, without marriage?
11889Well, Sir, and you have no objections to marriage, I presume, as the condition of that reconciliation?
11889Well, but after all, what need of her history to these women?
11889Well, but, Miss Harlowe, cried Sally, do you think these forlorn airs pretty?
11889Were it but in kindness to the people?
11889Were they civil to her?
11889What a punishment should this come out to be, upon myself too, that all this while I have been plundering my own treasury?
11889What a shame to talk at this rate!--Did the lady set up a contention with you?
11889What child could die in peace under a parent''s curse?
11889What could I have done with her in any other place?
11889What do you take our opinion of happiness to be?
11889What friends has the lady?
11889What has the lady said?
11889What have I to do with the world?
11889What heart, thinkest thou, can I have to write, when I have lost the only subject worth writing upon?
11889What is it she scruples, Mr. Hickman?
11889What is the light, what the air, what the town, what the country, what''s any thing, without thee?
11889What is the sum?
11889What once a woman hopes, in love matters, she always hopes, while there is room for hope: And are we not both single?
11889What reasons have you to fear this, Sir?
11889What signifies what the potations were, when the same end was in view?
11889What, Sir, said she, can I do?
11889What, pray, have you farther heard?
11889When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise?
11889When will the night be gone?
11889Where is that?
11889Wherefore is light given to her that is in misery; and life unto the bitter in soul?
11889Who at this instant, ill as she is, not only encourages, but, in a manner, makes court to one of the most odious dogs that ever was seen?
11889Who can be admitted to a place in it after Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
11889Who does?
11889Who ever said an anchoret was poor?
11889Who longeth for death; but it cometh not; and diggeth for it more than for hid treasures?
11889Who will ridicule a personal imperfection in one that seems conscious, that it is an imperfection?
11889Whom else have I injured?
11889Why is light given to one whose way is hid; and whom God hath hedged in?
11889Why may not handsome fellows, thought I, like to be looked at, as well as handsome wenches?
11889Why now, Cousin Charlotte, chucking her under the chin, would you have me tell you all that has passed between the lady and me?
11889Why then should it not be the pious Lovelace, as well as the pious à � neas?
11889Why then, they asked, would she not write to her friends, to pay Mrs. Sinclair''s demand?
11889Why these double locks and bolts all on the outside, none on the in?
11889Why these iron- barred windows, then?
11889Why wo n''t you send to your lodgings for linen, at least?
11889Why, indeed, the people did not prove so good as they should be.--What farther have you heard?
11889Why, you do n''t think of tarrying here always?
11889Will I be any woman''s but her''s?
11889Will Miss Howe permit me to explain myself in person to her, Mr. Hickman?
11889Will not Mrs. Sinclair, proceeded she, think my clothes a security, till they can be sold?
11889Will this, Mr. Hickman, answer any part of the intention of this visit?
11889Will you give me leave, my dear, to close this subject with one remark?
11889Will you not write to any of your friends?
11889Will you then, Sir, compel me to be beholden to you?
11889Wo n''t it strike out an intimacy between ye, that may enable thee to gratify me in this particular?
11889Words are wind; but deeds are mind: What signifies your cursed quibbling, Bob?--Say plainly, if she will have you, will you have her?
11889Would I not repair the evils I have made her suffer?''
11889Would I pretend to say, I would now marry the lady, if she would have me?
11889Would not the look of every creature, who beheld me, appear as a reproach to me?
11889Would she accept of any money?
11889Would the pious à � neas, thinkest thou, have done such a piece of justice by Dido, had she lived?
11889Would you have me and Miss Horton dine in this filthy bed- room?
11889Yes, yes, indeed, ready to sink, my name was Clarissa Harlowe:--but it is now Wretchedness!----Lord be merciful to me, what is to come next?
11889Yet do not honest protestants pronounce her pious too?--And call her particularly their Queen?
11889Yet to forbid you to love the dear naughty creature, who can?
11889You amaze me, Miss Martin!--What language do you talk in?--Bilk my lodgings?--What is that?
11889You say her heart is half- broken: Is it to be wondered at?
11889You see, Mr. Hickman, something of me.--Do you think I am in jest, or in earnest?
11889You will allow, that a very faulty person may see his errors; and when he does, and owns them, and repents, should he not be treated mercifully?
11889You would therefore heighten their severity, and make yourself enemies besides, if you were to come to me-- Don''t you see you would?
11889Zounds, Jack, what shall I do now?
11889and could the cursed devils of her own sex, who visited this suffering angel, see her, and leave her, in so d----d a nook?
11889and do they know that their unkindness will perhaps shorten my date; so that their favour, if ever they intend to grant it, may come too late?
11889and how much reason have I to say, If I justify myself, mine own heart shall condemn me: if I say I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse?''
11889and to refuse admittance to those I like not?
11889and would I not have re- instated myself in her favour upon her own terms, if I could?
11889and,''Whether they brought to town from thence the young creature whom they visited?''
11889can you truly say that he is?
11889for can they by their pity restore to me my lost reputation?
11889for so long a time as you were at Mrs. Sinclair''s?
11889had she those tricks already?
11889men, what mean you?
11889of encouraging another lover?
11889to engage to transcribe for her some parts of my letters written to thee in confidence?
11889was it not, my dear?
11889what a fine time of it would the heads of families have?
11889what would become of the peace of the world, if all women should take it into their heads to follow her example?
11889why didst thou not urge her to explain what she once hoped?
11889why push I so weak an adversary?
11889with what indifference shall I look upon all the assembly at the Colonel''s, my beloved in my ideal eye, and engrossing my whole heart?
12180( briskly) And by what arguments, Sir, do you propose to prevail upon me?
12180A fortnight, Sir?
12180A pretty character for thee, is it not?
12180A skilful physician?
12180Afraid of what, Doctor?
12180And I used to believe him too-- and yet, fond of life, and fearful of death, what do we do, when we are taken ill, but call ye in?
12180And can indignities of any kind be properly pardoned till we have it in our power to punish them?
12180And can this be the act of penitence?
12180And did she send you such a letter?
12180And had he been pardoned, would he not then have been at liberty to do as much mischief as ever?
12180And how could Belton help that?
12180And indeed, either openly or secretly, who has not?
12180And now, Mrs. Smith, said I, where are your gloves?
12180And now, what ought I to say?
12180And should I think myself concerned for your fortune, and not for your honour?
12180And then I read to them several passages in his letter, and asked what foundation she had for giving that fellow such impressions of either of us?
12180And then add:] But were they ever so favourably inclined to me now, what can they do for me?
12180And then recovering himself, with another stretch and a shake, What''s o''clock?
12180And then would my brother, or my cousin Morden, have been more secure than now?
12180And then, Sir, of what avail will be the''eulogies''you shall all, peradventure, join to give to her memory?
12180And to what may this indifference be owing?
12180And were you, Sir, thus earnest?
12180And what are those of the ladies?
12180And what do ye do, when called in, but nurse our distempers, till from pigmies you make giants of them?
12180And what farther, in your opinion, can be done?
12180And what follows?
12180And what have I, more than many others, to answer for on this account in the world''s eye?
12180And what is the difference of a few days to you, when I am gratified rather than discomposed by it?
12180And what is to be the end of your interrogatories?
12180And what must they be every time she turns her head towards it?
12180And what, after all, would this lady deserve, if she has deceived me in this case?
12180And what, pray, is the part I act, and my motives for it?
12180And when he read to them that passage, where you ask Miss Howe,''What can be done for you now, were your friends to be ever so favourable?
12180And where dost think this was?
12180And who but ourselves can make out our characters, were you inclined to let any body see what passes between us?
12180And who knows not that difficulty gives poignancy to our enjoyments; which are apt to lose their relish with us when they are over easily obtained?
12180And who knows where it may yet end?
12180And who, pray, is in this room?
12180And why?
12180And will he come?
12180And will nothing make him serious?
12180And yet go out again this morning early?
12180And, as to you, Sir, she forgives you: she wishes you well; and happier than you will let her die in peace?
12180Are not my days few?
12180Are you not willing, Nephew, are you not most willing, to marry this lady, if she can be prevailed upon to have you?
12180Are you reconciled to them?
12180Are you sent for down?
12180As soon as he discovers that that was only a stratagem to keep him away, he will come up, and who knows but even now he is upon the road?
12180At last she broke silence, asking me, if you were really and indeed so ill as it was said you were?
12180Brand really seems to be?
12180Brother and sister so immovably fixed against the only means that could be taken to put all right with every body?--And what now can be done?
12180But I am not merry-- I am sad!--Hey- ho!--Where shall I find my dear Miss Harlowe?
12180But are there no hopes of her recovery?
12180But did my cousin come purposely to town to see me?
12180But do n''t you think there is something very favourable to my nephew in this letter-- something that looks as if the lady would comply at last?
12180But have you, Sir, that letter of his in which he gives you( as I suppose he does) the copy of mine?
12180But if he come, what shall I do about the screen?
12180But let me ask you, Mr. Lovelace, what is the name of your friend, who is admitted so easily into my cousin''s presence?
12180But my friends may possibly be better justified than the reporters-- For who knows what they may have heard?
12180But since you are loth to answer my question directly, I will put it in other words-- You do n''t enjoin me to go into the air, Doctor, do you?
12180But then what is my tumbling over and over through the floor into a frightful hole, descending as she ascends?
12180But what accounting for it is necessary?
12180But what are the black sweeping mantles and robes of Lord M. thrown over my face?
12180But what do you bid me hope for, when you tell me that, if your mother''s health will permit, you will see me in town?
12180But what is the meaning I hear nothing from thee?
12180But what is this saying, when already I curse the whole world except her-- myself most?
12180But what need the doctor to ask her leave to write to her friends?
12180But what of that?
12180But whither am I running?
12180But who told this hard- hearted and death- pronouncing doctor that she will hold it no longer?
12180But who, that has so many ludicrous images raised in his mind by the awkward penitence, can forbear laughing at thee?
12180But whose is this?
12180But why delay I thus my messenger?
12180But why didst thou not comfort the poor man about the rencounter between him and that poltroon Metcalfe?
12180But with some, indeed, every thing she does must be good, every thing I do must be bad-- And why?
12180But, Jack, though thy uncle''s death has made thee a rich fellow, art thou sure that the making good of such a vow will not totally bankrupt thee?
12180But, Sir, will you permit me to take with me these two letters?
12180But, if you leave me-- what is the world, or any thing in it, to your ANNA HOWE?
12180But, what shall we say?
12180By what warrant says he this?
12180Can I be above the man, Sir, to whom I shall give my hand and my vows, and with them a sanction to the most premeditated baseness?
12180Can you, Sir, remind me of any thing necessary to be done or said to make your office easy?
12180Col. Are you sure, Sir, that Mr. Belford is a man of honour?
12180Col. High language, Mr. Lovelace?
12180Col. Is it possible?
12180Col. Let me put this question to you, Mr. Lovelace: Is it true, as I have heard it is, that you would marry my cousin, if she would have you?
12180Col. Only this: that an officious pragmatical novice has been sent up to inquire into my cousin''s life and conversation: And, would you believe it?
12180Col. What reason, Sir, may I ask, does she give, against listening to so powerful a mediation, and to such offers?
12180Col. Who are you, Sir?
12180Come, said she, what will you give me, and I''ll be as virtuous for a quarter of an hour, and mimic your Clarissa to the life?
12180Confound me for a gaping puppy, how I yawn!--Where shall I begin?
12180Could he not have done it without letting her know any thing of the matter?
12180D----n the fellow, where''s thy penknife?
12180D----n the fellow, why dost struggle thus?
12180Dangerously ill, say you?
12180Dear Mrs. Lovick, tell me what is become of her?
12180Did you not see him?
12180Do n''t you remember the lines of Howard, which once you read to me in my ivy- bower?
12180Do not, my dear friend, be concerned that I call it my last stage; For what is even the long life which in high health we wish for?
12180Do you know Mr. Belford, friend?
12180Do you know me?
12180Do you know who I am?
12180Do you know your poor friend Belton?
12180Except indeed we look forward to the rewards of HEREAFTER, which, morally, she must be sure of, or who can?
12180For does she not brazen out her crime, even after detection?
12180For how is it that I am the enemy of her soul, when I love her both soul and body?
12180For may not the inclination my mother has given up be the effect of a too- fond indulgence, rather than that I merit the indulgence?
12180Had I not, Mrs. Smith?
12180Has any body been here from him?
12180Has he not destroyed my fame and my fortune?
12180Has he not punished me enough for my preference of him to all his sex?
12180Has repented of all his baseness: And will nothing do?
12180Has she had good attendance, Sir?
12180Hast thou?--Answer me, man: Hast thou, or not?
12180He was a fearless, cheerful fellow: who''d have thought all that should end in such dejected whimpering and terror?
12180Here, Andrew,[ to her footman,] you want a pair of gloves, do n''t you?
12180How can that be, widow?
12180How can you think of such a thing, Mr. Belford?
12180How could your accursed friend-- And how could her cruel parents?
12180How familiarly dost thou use the words, dying, dimness, tremor?
12180How long have I dozed?
12180How so?
12180How then can the fall of such a one create a proper distress, when all the circumstances of it are considered?
12180How would you like, my dear, to have any of these things said?
12180I am sure I should-- But pray, Sir, how did you leave them?
12180I asked, if I should write to her cousin, as he knew not how ill she was, to hasten up?
12180I asked, what it was they sold?
12180I asked, what was intended by your brother and sister?
12180I can not bear it!--What a dog, what a devil have I been to a goodness so superlative!--Why does she not inveigh against me?
12180I demanded where their rappee was?
12180I do, Sir; and what can I say more?
12180I had but just dispatched your servant, and was asking her nurse if I might be again admitted?
12180I have the honour to be nearly related to her.--Step up, pray, and let her know,( she is sensible, I hope,) that I am here-- Who is with her?
12180I hesitated: For how could I answer for such a man?
12180I looked about me, and above me; and told them I was very proud of my seat; asking, if John were ever permitted to fill this superb niche?
12180I stept to him, and favoured his retreat; she only saying, Are you going, Mr. Belford?
12180I will pay thee a good price, man: do n''t struggle thus?
12180I would be glad to know how I am to take your''s?
12180If he did not, I could not pass it over, though you have nearer relations; for, my dear Cousin, did not your grandfather leave me in trust for you?
12180If she should die, how will all my pertnesses to her fly in my face!-- Why, why, did I ever vex her?
12180If, Madam, your cousin Morden should come, you would be glad to see him, I presume?
12180In which case, would not( on his acquittal, or pardon) resentments have been reciprocally heightened?
12180Is it any merit to admire more than ever a lady who can so exaltedly distinguish?
12180Is it because I was stung?
12180Is it not Belford, pray?
12180Is it not a little hard upon you, that these troubles should fall so thick to your lot?
12180Is it not because the latter allow themselves in any liberty, in order to carry a point?
12180Is it not just language?
12180Is it you?
12180Is my cousin come?
12180Is she within?
12180It is such a horrid thing to think of, that a man who had lived in such strict terms of-- what shall I call it?
12180It may one day, who knows how soon?
12180It opened with the dying man''s asking him, with melancholy earnestness, if nothing-- if nothing at all could be done for him?
12180John hereupon put on a serious, and a less respectful face-- Sir, this house is mine; and-- And what, friend?
12180Joseph, what said John to thee?
12180Just then, turning my eye to the door, I saw a pretty, genteel lady, with a footman after her, peeping in with a What''s the matter, good folks?
12180Let me, therefore, know( if you please) whether you are willing to appear to do yourself, and us, and your sex, this justice?
12180Lord M. But what is all this, but more sacks upon the mill?
12180Lord M. What the devil canst thou mean?
12180Lord M.( interposing again, as we were both for going out,) And what will this do, gentlemen?
12180Mowbray whispered me, What is the cause, Bobby?--Shall I take the gentleman to task for thee, my boy?
12180Mowbray, is this acting like a friend by me, to suppose me incapable of answering for myself?
12180Mrs. Smith standing next him, Why, said he, with great emotion, is my cousin suffered to indulge her sad reflections with such an object before her?
12180Must bold creatures, and forward spirits, for ever, and by the best and wisest of us, as well as by the indiscreetest, be the most kindly treated?
12180Nor ought you take it amiss, if you rightly weigh the matter: For, Sir, whom does a lady want protection against but her injurers?
12180Now if he give you your life, does he not give, think you, a valuable consideration for the money you engage your honour to send him?
12180Now, Jack, what can a man make of all this?
12180Or how will injuries be believed to grieve us, that are never honourably complained of?
12180Poor Lovelace!----What a devil ails thee?
12180Pray, Sir, did she return an answer to this letter?
12180Really, Sir, you take-- Great liberties I hope you would not say, Mrs. Smith?
12180Shall I give thee a faint picture of the horrible uneasiness with which my mind struggles?
12180Shall I go up, and see if Miss Harlowe be there, Mrs. Smith?
12180Shall I, Madam, send my servant post with it?
12180She asked, with great serenity, where you were?
12180She is to send me a letter after she is in Heaven, is she?
12180She said, Whither can I go, Mrs. Lovick?
12180Should not every body that has any thing to bequeath make their will?
12180Sir, replied the good woman, who should controul her?
12180Sir?
12180Smith.--Why should you?
12180So, old acquaintance, how do you now?
12180Suppose you kill one another, will the matter be bettered or worsted by that?
12180Ten days?--A week?--How long, Sir?
12180The Colonel, as Mrs. Smith told me afterwards, asked with great impatience, the moment he alighted, how Miss Harlowe was?
12180The gin, the snare, the net, mean matrimony, I suppose-- But is it a crime in me to wish to marry her?
12180The man whom once I could have loved, I have been enabled to despise: And shall not charity complete my triumph?
12180The question is, if your life is not in the fellow''s power?
12180The remedy I propose is a severe one: But what pain can be more severe than the injury?
12180Then, why do good people take upon themselves to censure, as they do, persons less scrupulous than themselves?
12180These the poets liken to''enamelling''--have you not read in the poets of''enamelled meads,''and so forth?
12180This letter is very different from her preceding one!--You returned an answer to it, Mr. Lovelace?
12180This made a trifling affair important: And what was the issue?
12180Thou, perhaps, wilt ask, what honest man is obliged to keep his promise with a highwayman?
12180Was I right, as to the first, Jack?
12180We all remaining silent, the women having their aprons at their eyes, Why this concern for nothing at all?
12180Well, and Mr. Belford wrote me word that she was exceeding ill. How then can she be gone out?
12180Well, but my good dear Mrs. Smith, where is the lady gone?
12180Well, with all my heart, said I:''tis not for us tradesmen to be saucy-- Is it, Mrs. Smith?
12180What a devil will it signify talking, if thus you are to blow one another up at every word?
12180What a step has he made me take to avoid him!--Who can touch pitch, and not be defiled?
12180What can I say?--But why should not you know the truth?
12180What can it be, Bob.?
12180What canst earn a- day, man?
12180What could Belford do for him?
12180What could I say to an inference so fairly drawn?
12180What do you sell, Sir?
12180What makes you put this question?
12180What must I save you from?
12180What rooms have you to let?
12180What say you, Mrs. Smith, to this?
12180What signifies this transitory eclipse?
12180What will that do for me?
12180What would I give for one year of my past life?--only one year-- and to have the same sense of things that I now have?
12180What''s the matter, my Lord?
12180What, I wonder, has again happened between you and Mr. Hickman?
12180What, but, as we go along, a life of apprehension, sometimes for our friends, oftener for ourselves?
12180Where are they, if a customer shall come in?
12180Where is her servant?
12180Where is this new face?
12180Where, where?
12180Who could be otherwise?
12180Who could have believe there could be parents so implacable?
12180Who knows what may arise from his arrival?
12180Who knows, as it would have come from an associate, and of an associate, it might have affected him?
12180Who the devil could have expected such consequences as these?
12180Whom do you guess me to be?
12180Why so, Mrs. Smith?
12180Why so, Sir?
12180Why so, Sir?
12180Why will he wish to interrupt me in my duty?
12180Why will ye break a leaf driven to and fro?
12180Why will ye pursue the dry stubble?
12180Why will ye write bitter words against me, and make me possess the iniquities of my youth?
12180Why, O why was she not before willing?
12180Why, father Smith, thy wife is a wit, man!--Didst thou ever find that out before?--But where is widow Lovick, dame Smith?
12180Will neither vows nor prayers save her?
12180Will the lady be made happier or unhappier, do you think, by either or both of your deaths?
12180Wilt thou forgive my troubling thee with such visionary stuff?
12180Would any other woman think it so?
12180Wouldst thou think that this varlet Mowbray is sorry that I am so near being happy with Miss Harlowe?
12180You do n''t know, do you, Colonel, that Mr. Lovelace, at all our requests, is disposed to marry the lady?
12180You do n''t look like a hard- hearted gentleman!--How can you thus hunt and persecute a poor lady, whom none of her relations will look upon?
12180You do n''t tell me where she is?
12180You have a young lady lodges here; Miss Harlowe, Madam: Is she above?
12180You have seen what I wrote, no doubt?
12180You never saw me before, did you?
12180Your Lordship has been in Italy, I presume?
12180Your intimacy, Sir, with Mr. Lovelace, and( may I say?)
12180and when will she return?
12180do I want wash- balls?
12180do n''t be afraid-- How long, Sir?
12180for the Lord hath rewarded thee: And why?
12180how can it be?
12180how would they set off one another, and be adorned by the wearer!-- Go to the devil!--I will write!--Can I do anything else?
12180is your''s the new face?
12180more coals upon the fire?
12180or is she gone with Miss Harlowe too?
12180said I, where''s thy pruning- knife?
12180said I; save you from what?
12180said he, what''s here?
12180said he, with his hands and eyes lifted up, can I see her?
12180said she; how kindly are you concerned for me!--Who says I am friendless?
12180so thou wouldst, if thou hadst it on: but thou never wearest thy hat in thy wife''s presence, I believe; dost thou?
12180turning his head this way and that; horror in his countenance; Did you not see him?
12180what will he then think of the poor transitory gratifications of sense, which now engage all his attention?
12180whither fled?
9296''But if she should be blameless, Madam, how does your own supposition condemn them?''
9296''How will my son, how will my nephew, take this or that measure?
9296''Let me ask you, my dear, said she, how you now keep your account of the disposition of your time?
9296''What did the man mean, she wondered?
9296( But what have I done to myself, to make such a supposition?)
9296** What is it, as she says, that she has not sacrificed to peace?--Yet, has she by her sacrifices always found the peace she has deserved to find?
9296--What could be the reading he has been said to be master of, to wonder, as he did, at these observations?
9296--for who danced, who sung, who touched the string, whatever the instrument, with a better grace than thy friend?
9296A value that can have no merit with the unhappy object of it, because it is attended with effects so grievous to her?
9296A wrong head may be convinced, may have a right turn given it: but who is able to give a heart, if a heart be wanting?
9296Again interrupted!--Am I to be questioned, and argued with?
9296Am not I to live with the man?
9296And do they not make use of your own generosity to oppress you?
9296And even in this point you must be mistaken: For, would a prudent man wish to marry one who has not a heart to give?
9296And have I any encouragement to follow too implicitly the example which my mother sets of meekness, and resignedness to the wills of others?
9296And have you not before now said, that nothing is so penetrating as the eye of a lover who has vanity?
9296And hence, Sir, retorted I, your unbrotherly reflections upon me?
9296And how shall I look upon my awful judges?
9296And how was this to be done, after such a declaration from both my uncles?
9296And is it not your right?
9296And is it you?
9296And now, my dear, let me ask you, Have I come up to your expectation?
9296And so I will, said she-- Did you not bewitch my grandfather?
9296And so in the royal style( for am I not likely to be thy king and thy emperor in the great affair before us?)
9296And so, Clary, it is nothing to him, or to me, is it, that our sister shall disgrace her whole family?
9296And this, said I, is all I have to hope for from my Mamma?
9296And what less did the world think of me now, he asked, than that I was confined that I might not?
9296And what my motive, dost thou ask?
9296And what was this, more than I had offered before?
9296And what, Clary, mean you by that?
9296And when that reason offers, is it not just to express one''s self accordingly?
9296And while he has any, can we be easy or free from his insults?
9296And who says Lovelace wants vanity?
9296And who, besides, can bear to be made the dupe of such low cunning, operating with such high and arrogant passions?
9296And why do n''t you go on, Clary?
9296And why may I not think that I am now put upon a proper exercise of it?
9296And why was it, do you think?
9296And why?
9296And will you give up nothing?
9296And yet, my dear, this may be his usual manner of behaviour to our sex; for had not my sister at first all his reverence?
9296And yet, why say I, I am half ashamed?--Is it not a glory to love her whom every one who sees her either loves, or reveres, or both?
9296Are you in earnest?
9296As to your question, Why your elder sister may not be first provided for?
9296At last, I asked, if it were his pleasure that I should pour him out another dish?
9296At worst, will he confine me prisoner to my chamber?
9296Ay, Clary, put in my sister, what say you to Mr. Wyerley?
9296Bless me, said I to myself, what a sister have I!--How have I deserved this?
9296But I more wonder, how he came to have a notion of meeting me in this place?
9296But I suppose then you will have no objection to see and converse, on a civil footing, with Mr. Solmes-- as your father''s friend, or so?
9296But are not these orders a tacit confession, that they think his own merit will not procure him respect?
9296But can it be, that such a lady, such a sister, such a wife, such a mother, has no influence in her own family?
9296But do you think I will rob my sister of her humble servant?
9296But does he not avow his passion?
9296But how can you expect, when there must be a concession on one side, that it should be on theirs?
9296But if I could not, how can you expect to prevail?
9296But is it not a confounded thing to be in love with one, who is the daughter, the sister, the niece, of a family, I must eternally despise?
9296But is it not a sad thing, I repeat, to be obliged to stand in opposition to the will of such a mother?
9296But let me examine myself: Is not vanity, or secret love of praise, a principal motive with me at the bottom?--Ought I not to suspect my own heart?
9296But now I think of it, suppose you are the reader at your pen than he-- You will make the more useful wife to him; wo n''t you?
9296But pray, is not this estate our estate, as we may say?
9296But supposing it to be true that all his vacant nightly hours are employed in writing, what can be his subjects?
9296But that it could be for Solmes, how should it enter into my head?
9296But then recollecting myself, is there not more in it, said I, than the result of a vein so naturally lively?
9296But this is a point you will not permit me to expatiate upon: pardon me therefore, and I have done.--Yet, why should I say, pardon me?
9296But was it not a little hard upon me, to be kept from blazing on a Sunday?--And to be hindered from my charitable ostentations?
9296But what call you dutiful?
9296But what is person, Clary, with one of your prudence, and your heart disengaged?
9296But what shall I do with this Lovelace?
9296But what then can I plead for a palliation to myself of my mother''s sufferings on my account?
9296But where is Hannah?
9296But whither roves my pen?
9296But who can be worthy of a Clarissa?
9296But whoever was in fault, self being judge?
9296But will it be just, will it be honest, to marry a man I can not endure?
9296But will not t''other man flame out, and roar most horribly, upon the snatching from his paws a prey he thought himself sure of?
9296But''tis a cursed deceiver; for it has many a time imposed upon its master-- Master, did I say?
9296But, Sir, if I am prepossessed, what has Mr. Solmes to hope for?--Why should he persevere?
9296But, pray now-- is it saying so much, when one, who has no very particular regard to any man, says, there are some who are preferable to others?
9296But, to pass that by-- so much engaged!--How much, my dear?--Shall I infer?
9296But, why, dearest Madam, why am I, the youngest, to be precipitated into a state, that I am very far from wishing to enter into with any body?
9296Can I be honest, if I give a hope that I can not confirm?
9296Can not I speak with the poor girl?
9296Can you think such usage, and to such a young lady, is to be borne?
9296Can you wonder, then, that they should embrace the first opportunity that offered, to endeavour to bring you down to their level?
9296Contrive it, did I say?
9296Could any thing be pleasing to him, that you did not say or do?
9296Could you, my dear, have shewn more spirit?
9296Did not this deserve a severe return?
9296Did not your father himself some days ago tell you, he would be obeyed?
9296Did you think I could scold, my dear?
9296Do I want any thing of any body for my own sake?--Does my brother John?--Well, then, Cousin Clary, what would you be at, as I may say?
9296Do n''t you remember how he stared at the following trite observations, which every moralist could have furnished him with?
9296Do you hear, sister Clary?
9296Do you justify duelling at all?
9296Do you so understand the license you have, Miss?
9296Do you think they can use you worse than they do?
9296Does he believe, that the disgrace which I supper on his account, will give him a merit with me?
9296Does not his own sister live unhappily, for want of a little of his superfluities?
9296Does that( pert cousin) make it out that he does not love you?
9296Dreadful alternative-- But is not my sincerity, is not the integrity of my heart, concerned in the answer?
9296For did you ever give up any thing?
9296For me, do you mean, Clary?
9296For must not each of you, by the constitutions of your family, marry to be still richer?
9296Have I not made a very fair proposal as to Mr. Lovelace?
9296Have I not told you there is no receding; that the honour as well as the interest of the family is concerned?
9296Have we not all an interest in it, and a prior right, if right were to have taken place?
9296Have you not refused as many as have been offered to you?
9296Have you the least doubt about what must be the issue of this correspondence, if continued?
9296He an honest man?
9296He is allowed to be brave: Who ever knew a brave man, if a brave man of sense, an universally base man?
9296His a good mind, Madam?
9296How can I tell it you?
9296How can you tell me your heart is free?
9296How can your Anna Howe have such a thought?--What then shall we call it?
9296How comes this man to know so well all our foibles?
9296How dare a perverse girl take these liberties with relations so very respectable, and whom she highly respects?
9296How many hours in the twenty- four do you devote to your needle?
9296How many to letter- writing?
9296How many to your prayers?
9296How shall I stand the questions of some, the set surliness of others, the returning love of one or two?
9296How so, I asked him, when that can not wound without the application?
9296How then can she be so impenetrable?
9296I am afraid you will condemn my warmth: But does not the occasion require it?
9296I asked her once, if she were pleased with the tea?
9296I asked him, If he valued himself upon having a head better turned than theirs for such works, as he called them?
9296I besought her to stay: One favour, but one favour, dearest Madam, said I, give me leave to beg of you-- What would the girl?
9296I made no reply; for what could I say?
9296I must now go down, and make a report, that you are resolved never to have Mr. Solmes-- Must I?--Consider, my dear Miss Clary-- Must I?
9296I was moving to go up-- And will you go up, Clary?
9296I went on, supplicating for my mother''s favourable report: Nothing but invincible dislike, said I-- What would the girl be at, interrupted my mother?
9296If it were, to whom could I appeal with effect against a husband?
9296If you do, Madam, can you think confinement and ill usage is the way to prevent the apprehended rashness?
9296If you really value me, as my friends would make me believe, and as you have declared you do, must it not be a mean and selfish value?
9296If your estate is convenient for him, what then?
9296Is any body else?
9296Is it you, my meek sister Clary?
9296Is my presence an exception to the bold creature?
9296Is she not for ever obliged( as she was pleased to hint to me) to be of the forbearing side?
9296Is the want of reward, or the want even of a grateful acknowledgement, a reason for us to dispense with what we think our duty?
9296It is needless to say any thing to you, who have so sincere any antipathy to him, to strengthen your dislike: Yet, who can resist her own talents?
9296It was rather a mark of his affection, than any advantage to me: For, do I either seek or wish to be independent?
9296It would be an affront to your own judgment, if you did not: For do you not ask my advice?
9296Let me ask you, child, if you will give your pretty proposal in writing?
9296May I be permitted to mention an expedient?--''If I am to be watched, banished, and confined; suppose, Sir, it were to be at your house?''
9296May I not see the honest creature, and pay her her wages?
9296May I, Madam, be permitted to expostulate?-- To what purpose expostulate with me, Clarissa?
9296May not my everlasting happiness be the sacrifice?
9296May not this strange method rather harden than convince?
9296May not, however, so deep a sufferer be permitted to speak out?
9296My extravagancies, Bella!--But did my father ever give me any thing he did not give you?
9296No, not to Miss Howe, Madam, tauntingly: for have you not acknowledged, that Lovelace is a favourite there?
9296Norton!--[You may guess who said this] Will she, or will she not, comply with her parents''will?
9296Not to Miss Howe?
9296Now seest thou not, how many good ends this contrivance answers?
9296O Madam, what can I say to questions so indulgently put?
9296O thou determined girl!--But say-- Speak out-- Are you resolved to stand in opposition to us all, in a point our hearts are set upon?
9296Pray, my dear, be so good as to tell me, What man of a great and clear estate would think of that eldest sister, while the younger were single?
9296Pretty mopsy- eyed soul!--was her expression!--And was it willing to think it had still a brother and sister?
9296Shall I conduct your Ladyship down?
9296Shall I not therefore be allowed to judge for myself, whether I can, or can not, live happily with him?
9296Shall I, Clary, said she, shall I tell your father that these prohibitions are as unnecessary as I hoped they would be?
9296She asked me, upon my turning from her, if she should not say any thing below of my compliances?
9296She desired to be informed, in the name of every body, was her word, what I was determined upon?
9296She owned, that the man was not the most desirable of men; and that he had not the happiest appearance: But what, said she, is person in a man?
9296She, kindly saluting me, said, Why this distance to your aunt, my dear, who loves you so well?
9296Should it be ever so unhappily, will it be prudence to complain or appeal?
9296Should not one fly the man who is but suspected of such a one?
9296Should not they make a common cause of it, as I may say, a cause of sex, on such occasions as the present?
9296So I shall suffer: And in what will the rash man have benefited himself, or mended his prospects?
9296So turning from me, she spoke with quickness, Whither now, Clary Harlowe?
9296So we think, whatever you think: and whose thoughts are to be preferred?
9296Solmes?--Rather than give me hope?
9296Solmes?--Will not that refusal be to give him hope?
9296Tell me why you call it a reflection?--What did I say?
9296Tell me, Bella, if my mamma will condescend to see me?
9296Tell me, Clary, and tell me truly-- Do you not continue to correspond with Mr. Lovelace?
9296That you know your duty, and will not offer to controvert his will?
9296The good woman asked, Whether she was permitted to expostulate with them upon the occasion, before she came up to me?
9296The object so meritorious, who can doubt the reality of his professions?
9296Then addressing himself to me: And how do you find it, Miss?
9296Then he will always be in expectation while you are single: and we are to live on at this rate( are we?)
9296Then you do n''t think him so?
9296This was not ungenerously said: But what will not these men say to obtain belief, and a power over one?
9296Thou art a provoking creature-- But what say you to two or three duels of that wretch''s?
9296Thou art curious to know, if I have not started a new game?
9296Thus are my imputed good qualities to be made my punishment; and I am to wedded to a monster--[ Astonishing!--Can this, Clarissa, be from you?
9296Was not this very intimidating, my dear?
9296Was not this very spiteful, my dear?
9296We all, indeed, once thought your temper soft and amiable: but why was it?
9296Well but, methinks you say, what is all this to the purpose?
9296Were even your brother in fault, as that fault can not be conquered, is a sister to carry on a correspondence that shall endanger her brother?
9296What a name have you got, at a less expense?
9296What an unhappy situation is that which obliges her, in her own defence as it were, to expose their failings?
9296What can I do, Madam?--What can I do?
9296What can I do?
9296What can I say?
9296What could I do but weep?
9296What did I think of Mr. Wyerley?
9296What did you do, that we did not endeavour to do?--And what was all this for?
9296What encouragement for duty is this?--Have I not loved her as well as ever you did?
9296What excuse can be made for his haughty and morose temper?
9296What is the matter with Hannah?
9296What is to follow?
9296What must have been her treatment, to be thus subjugated, as I may call it?
9296What must that cause be that will not bear being argued upon?
9296What must we think of any one of it, who would not promote the good of the whole?
9296What reason then, ungenerous girl, can you have for arguing with me thus, but because you think from my indulgence to you, you may?
9296What say you, my love?
9296What shall I get by it, let things go as they will?
9296What then is this narrow selfishness that reigns in us, but relationship remembered against relationship forgot?
9296What think you was the return?
9296What tho''his mighty soul his grief contains?
9296What will he say to it?
9296What would you say, were I to treat you as Miss Harlowe''s father and mother treat her?
9296What''s all that to an estate in possession, and left you with such distinctions, as gave you a reputation of greater value than the estate itself?
9296What, Madam, to give him hope?--To give hope to Mr. Solmes?
9296What, Miss, will you please to have for breakfast?
9296What, but ringing my changes upon the same bells, and neither receding nor advancing one tittle?
9296What, is this you?
9296What, my dear, if her meekness should not be rewarded?
9296What, think you, makes me bear Hickman near me, but that the man is humble, and knows and keeps his distance?
9296When I returned, my uncle Antony asked me, how I should like Mr. Lovelace?
9296When so little ceremony is made with me, why should I not speak out?--Did he not seek to kill the other, if he could have done it?
9296When your grandfather left his estate to you, though his three sons, and a grandson, and your elder sister, were in being, we all acquiesced: and why?
9296Who can command or foresee events?
9296Who can not esteem him?
9296Who told you Mr. Solmes can not read and write?
9296Who, indeed, as you say, if this be so, would marry, that can live single?
9296Who, that has once trespassed with them, ever recovered his virtue?
9296Why not?
9296Why should I be deprived of all comfort, but that which the hope that it would be a very short one, would afford me?
9296Why should not there be something in blood in the human creature, as well as in the ignobler animals?
9296Why will these wise parents, by saying too much against the persons they dislike, put one upon defending them?
9296Why, I pray you, good Sir, should I be made miserable for life?
9296Why, Niece, if there be not any such hopes, I presume you do n''t think yourself absolved from the duty due from a child to her parents?
9296Why, as I often say to myself, was such a man as this Solmes fixed upon?
9296Will he bear, do you think, to be thus dialogued with?
9296Will he deny me the visits of my dearest friend, and forbid me to correspond with her?
9296Will he set a servant over me, with license to insult me?
9296Will he take from me the mistressly management, which I had not faultily discharged?
9296Will not the least shadow of the hope you just now demanded from me, be driven into absolute and sudden certainty?
9296Will not what I have offered be accepted?
9296Will she, or will she not, be Mrs. Solmes?
9296Will you forgive me; and let me find a sister in you, as I am sorry, if you had reason to think me unsisterly in what I have said?
9296Will you go down, and humble that stubborn spirit of yours to your mamma?
9296Would you have me, Madam, make him desperate?
9296Wyerley''s again?--or whose?
9296Yet tell me, are your affections engaged to this man?
9296Yet what did you say, that we could not have said?
9296Yet why should Shorey( except officiously to please her principals) make a report in his disfavour?
9296You are going to question me, I suppose, why your sister is not thought of for Mr. Solmes?
9296You ask, Why may not your brother be first engaged in wedlock?
9296You know your father has made it a point; and did he ever give up one he thought he had a right to carry?
9296Your aunt Hervey, you say,* has told you: Why must I ask you to let me know them, when you condescend to ask my advice on the occasion?
9296[ Are not all estates stewardships, my dear?]
9296[ bristling up to me]--Tell me what you mean by that reflection?
9296[ changing her sneering tone to an imperious one] But do you think you can humble yourself to go down to your mamma?
9296[ following me, and taking my struggling hand] What?
9296let me repeat: Is that a small point, my dear Uncle, to give up?
9296my love!--But what shall we do about the terms Mr. Solmes offers?
9296not vouchsafe to answer me?
9296repeated my aunt-- So, Miss Clary, I see how it is-- I will go down--[Miss Harlowe, shall I follow you?]
9296that gave it you before us all?--Well then, ought we not to have a choice who shall have it in marriage with you?
9296turn your back upon me too!--Shall I bring up your mamma to you, love?
9296when I love you, as never woman loved another?
9296when your concerns are my concerns?
9296when your honour is my honour?
9296who can be patient under such treatment?
11364''Why was such a woman as this thrown into my way, whose very fall will be her glory, and, perhaps, not only my shame but my destruction?
11364''Yet already have I not gone too far?
11364* And was not cohabitation ever my darling view?
11364* But would I not have avoided it, if I could?
11364*** And what is all this wild incoherence for?
11364*** Where, Lovelace, can the poor lady be gone?
11364--If I am in a violent passion upon the detection, is not passion an universally- allowed extenuator of violence?
11364--In which I demonstrated the conveniencies, and obviated the inconveniencies, of changing the present mode to this?
11364--Yet what name else can I?
11364A stranger, as I hope to be saved, to the principal arts of your sex!-- Once more, what a devil has your heart to do in your eyes?
11364Am I as hateful to you as the vile Solmes?
11364Am I not ready to make you all the reparation that I can make you?
11364And also, if you have heard of any journey, or intended journey, of my brother, in company with Captain Singleton and Mr. Solmes?
11364And am I, Sir, to be thus beset?--Surrounded thus?--What have these women to do with me?
11364And am not I a smuggler too?
11364And are they not both every whit as culpable?
11364And are you sure you are now out of his reach?
11364And can I have taken all this pains for nothing?
11364And can not our fraternity in an hundred instances give proof of the like predominance of vice over virtue?
11364And do n''t you know who gave it to her?
11364And do you think that I would have given my consent to my imprisonment in it?
11364And does he not enjoin us works of mercy to one another, as the means to obtain his mercy?
11364And for how long?
11364And for what should her heart be broken?
11364And from what?
11364And have I any other resource left me?
11364And her punishment, as she calls it, is over: but when mine will, or what it may be, who can tell?
11364And how should we be convinced that any of them are proof till they are tried?
11364And if I do think thee so, have I not cause?
11364And if they were cheerful on the anniversary occasion?
11364And imaginest thou, fairest, thought I, that this will go down with a Lovelace?
11364And is this amiable doctrine the sum of religion?
11364And is this the answer thou returnest me?
11364And must not my next step be an irretrievable one, tend it which way it will?
11364And need I go throw the sins of her cursed family into the too- weighty scale?
11364And now what thinkest thou must become of the lady, whom LOVE itself gives up, and CONSCIENCE can not plead for?
11364And that we have risked more to serve and promote the interests of the former, than ever a good man did to serve a good man or a good cause?
11364And what dost thou think it is?
11364And what is it that I demand, that I have not a right to, and from which it is an illegal violence to withhold me?
11364And what is that injury which a church- rite will not at any time repair?
11364And what sayest thou now to my dream?
11364And what will be my subject thinkest thou?
11364And what will withhold a jealous and already- ruined woman?
11364And what, Madam, meant you by your promise?
11364And what, Sir, said she, with an air of authority, would you commit errors, and expect to be rewarded for them?
11364And who can describe the distress she must be in?
11364And who, thinkest thou, is my cousin Montague?
11364And will she not want the crown of her glory, the proof of her till now all- surpassing excellence, if I stop short of the ultimate trial?
11364And wo n''t this be doing a kind thing by them?
11364And yet why say I completed?
11364Answer me, Madam-- Did you mean any thing in my favour by your promise?
11364Are you recovered of your illness?
11364Arriving here in an instant, the first word I asked, was, If the lady was safe?
11364As to the man you have lost, is an union with such a perjured heart as his, with such an admirable one as your''s, to be wished for?
11364Astonishing, my dear, that you should suspect them!--But, knowing your strange opinion of them, what can I say to be believed?
11364At this rate of romancing, how many flourishing ruins dost thou, as well as I, know?
11364But again let me ask, Does this lady do right to make herself ill, when she is not ill?
11364But as to the arms and crest upon the coach and trappings?
11364But do not physicians prescribe opiates in acute cases, where the violence of the disorder would be apt to throw the patient into a fever or delirium?
11364But dost think, Jack, that I in the like case( and equally affected with the distress) should have acted thus?
11364But for the time she should stay in these parts, she would come up every night-- What say you, niece Charlotte?
11364But have you really and truly sold yourself to him?
11364But how know I, that I have not made my own difficulties?
11364But how was it possible, that even that florid countenance of his should enable him to command a blush at his pleasure?
11364But if I should, Jack,( with the strongest antipathy to the state that ever man had,) what a figure shall I make in rakish annals?
11364But if not, what shall I say severe enough, that you have not answered either of my last letters?
11364But is Thursday, the 29th, her uncle''s anniversary, methinks thou askest?
11364But is not that equivocation?
11364But it is not so, I plainly see: For, who can acknowledge with more justice this dear creature''s merits, and his own errors, than I?
11364But know you where my lady is?
11364But say, are you really ill, as a vile, vile creature informs me you are?
11364But seest thou not that I am under a necessity to continue her at Sinclair''s and to prohibit all her correspondencies?
11364But tell me, of a truth, is Miss Howe really and truly ill?--Very ill?- And is not her illness poison?
11364But that must all be forgotten now-- How do you, my Hannah?
11364But thinkest thou that, after such a series of contrivance, I will lose this inimitable woman for want of a little more?
11364But thinkest thou, that I will give a harlot niece to thy honourable uncle, and to thy real aunts; and a cousin to thy cousins from a brothel?
11364But this must be the last debate on this subject; for is not her fate in a manner at its crisis?
11364But thou hast-- and lain with her too; or fame does thee more credit than thou deservest-- Why, Jack, knowest thou not Lady Betty''s other name?
11364But to no purpose.--May she not thank herself for all that may follow?
11364But to what purpose have I gone thus far, if I pursue not my principal end?
11364But what can I do?
11364But what shall I do, if my father can not be prevailed upon to recall his malediction?
11364But who would have thought there had been such a woman in the world?
11364But woe be to them, if---- Yet what will vengeance do, after an insult committed?
11364But, if she will keep back her hand, if she will make me hold out mine in vain, how can I help it?
11364Can I have a better?
11364Can this particular story, which this girl hints at, be that of Lucy Villars?
11364Could not Morrison bring up the box?
11364Could the divine SOCRATES, and the divine CLARISSA, otherwise have suffered?
11364Could you have thought there was a woman in the world who could thus express herself, and yet be vile?
11364Did I never show thee a scheme which I drew up on such a notion as this?
11364Did Mr. Solmes ever do vilely by me?
11364Did you mean any thing in my favour, Madam?--Did you intend that I should think you did?
11364Do n''t you think him so, Madam?
11364Do we not then see, that an honest prowling fellow is a necessary evil on many accounts?
11364Do you come from Miss Howe?
11364Do you expect any voluntary favour from one to whom you give not a free choice?
11364Do you intend, Madam, to honour me with your hand, in your uncle''s presence, or do you not?
11364Do you know, do you see, my dearest life, what appearances your causeless apprehensions have given you?--Do you know it is past eleven o''clock?
11364Do you live with Miss Howe?
11364Do you think yourself in my power, Madam?
11364Do you think, Madam, that I fear the law?
11364Does he not see that he has journeyed on to this stage, with one determined point in view from the first?
11364Does she not show me that she can wilfully deceive, as well as I?
11364Dost thou ask, What I meant by this promise?
11364Dost thou know my right name, friend?
11364Dost thou not know that a Blunt''s must supply her, while her own is new lining and repairing?
11364Dost thou thus evade my question?
11364Durst ever see a license, Jack?
11364For have we not been prodigal of life and fortune?
11364For here( wouldst thou have thought it?)
11364For what an odd soul must she be who could not have her twelvemonth''s trial?
11364For what?
11364For whom has she to receive and protect her?
11364For why?
11364Forgive you, my dear!--Most cordially do I forgive you-- Will you forgive me for some sharp things I wrote in return to your''s of the 5th?
11364Good Lovelace, let me go to Mrs. Leeson''s?
11364HER''S, or MINE?
11364Had they not, Jack?
11364Have I not told you, that my beloved is a great observer of the eyes?
11364Have I not tried every other method?
11364Have I offered any new injury to you, my dearest life?
11364Have you, Madam, any reliance upon my honour?
11364He asked if she had any partiklar message?
11364He pulled the string-- What need to have come this way?
11364Here I made an hesitating effort to speak, laying down my pen: but she proceeded!--Hear me out, guilty wretch!--abandoned man!--Man, did I say?
11364Hitherto she is all angel: and was not that the point which at setting out I proposed to try?
11364How came the dear soul,( clothed as it is with such a silken vesture,) by all its steadiness?
11364How came you here in this?
11364How do you?
11364How else can I leave you?
11364How often have I known opposition not only cement friendship, but create love?
11364How shall I satisfy you for this kind trouble?
11364How the devil can this be?
11364How then, as I asked her, could I comply, without resolving to lose her for ever?
11364How will you trust to it, if you extort an answer to this question?
11364I axed master, if soe bee he knowed sitch a man as one Captain Tomlinson?
11364I do say, if she come fairly at her lights, at her clues, or what shall I call them?
11364I have lost it again-- This foolish wench comes teasing me-- for what purpose should I eat?
11364I hope Miss Howe is well?
11364I know what you mean, Madam-- Am I then as hateful to you as the vile Solmes?
11364I only asked, What was his business, and who he came from?
11364I repeat, therefore, Am I now at liberty to dispose of myself as I please?
11364I will study for it---- Suppose I suffer her to make an escape?
11364If I go not down to Mr. Hall, Madam, you''ll have no scruple to stay here, I suppose, till Thursday is over?
11364If it be not that,[ and yet what power should her guardian angel have over me?]
11364If these postulata be granted me, who, I pray, can equal my charmer in all these?
11364If thou sayest, it is, however, wrong to do so; I reply, that it is nevertheless human nature:--And wouldst thou not have me to be a man, Jack?
11364If you are, do you choose to come and be with me?
11364Indeed has not at all forgiven me?
11364Is a fancied distress, sufficient to justify this lady for dispensing with her principles?
11364Is her''s, I pray you, a right sort of love?
11364Is it love at all?
11364Is it not wonderful?
11364Is not every man and woman obliged to excuse that fault in another, which at times they find attended with such ungovernable effects in themselves?
11364Is not this the crisis for which I have been long waiting?
11364Is she not?
11364Is this, my dear, preparative to the conversation you led me to expect in the dining- room?
11364It is this: Whether you know any such man as Captain Tomlinson?
11364Let go my hand, Sir-- Take away your arm from about me,[ struggling, yet trembling,]--Why do you gaze upon me so?
11364Let me ask you, Madam, What meant you, when you said,''that, were it not a sin, you would die before you gave me that assurance?''
11364Let me only know, Madam, if your promise to endeavour to wait with patience the event of next Thursday meant me favour?
11364May I not be able to prevail upon him to leave me at my liberty?
11364May I trust to it?--Say only may I trust to it?
11364May not the evil I know be less than what I may fall into, if I can avoid farther villany?
11364Moreover, what a multitude of domestic quarrels would be avoided, where such a scheme carried into execution?
11364Mrs. Moore''s, Madam!--I have no objection to Mrs. Moore''s-- but will you give me your promise, to admit me there to your presence?
11364Must she not live?
11364My dearest creature, said the vile man, gasping, as it were for breath, you shall not alight-- Any letters for me, Dorcas?
11364Nay, how should I know?
11364Noblest of creatures!--And do you think I can leave you, and my interest in such an excellence, precarious?
11364Now, Jack, what terms wouldst thou have me to keep with such a sweet corruptress?
11364Once more I ask thee, Am I, or am I not, at my own liberty now?
11364Or can you conveniently?
11364Or, why was this singular one to fall to my lot?
11364Other name!--Has she two?
11364Pray acquaint me, if they have been there?
11364Pray, Madam, whipping between her and the street- door, be pleased to let me know where you are going?
11364Right sort of love!--A puppy!--But, with due regard to your deityship, said I, what merits has she with YOU, that you should be of her party?
11364Say only, dearest creature, say only, may I trust to your favour, if you go to Hampstead?
11364Seest thou not how she hates me?
11364Seest thou not that she is resolved never to forgive me?
11364Seest thou not, however, that she must disgrace herself in the eye of the world, if she actually should escape?
11364Several weeks past, I should say; ever since I have been with thee?
11364Shall I tell thee my project?
11364She purposes to return to Hampstead as soon as I am gone-- My dear, will you not have a servant to attend you?
11364She put it close to me, Whether I had not corresponded with you from the time of your going away?
11364She refused me her hand!--Was she wise, Jack, to confirm to me, that nothing but terror would do?
11364She so affrights me, when I see her!--Ever since-- when was it?
11364Should he call the next day?
11364Suppose Dorcas should drop the promissory note given her by her lady?
11364Tell me, ungrateful devil, tell me who made the first advances?
11364The brute, or the lady?
11364The coachman stopped: his servant, who, with one of her''s was behind, alighted-- Ask, said he, if I have any letters?
11364The red- hot iron she refuses to strike-- O why will she suffer the yielding wax to harden?
11364The whole sex is indeed wounded by you: For, who but Miss Clarissa Harlowe was proposed by every father and mother for a pattern for their daughters?
11364The would not the distinction be very pretty, Jack?
11364Thou hast seen Lady Betty Lawrance several times-- hast thou not, Belford?
11364To endeavour, Sir, to make myself easy-- were the words---- Till you saw what next Thursday would produce?
11364To prostitute the characters of persons of honour of thy own family-- and all to delude a poor creature, whom thou oughtest-- But why talk I to thee?
11364To what purpose did I ask her consent, if she had not a power over either her own person or actions?
11364Wallis?
11364Was he one of Lovelace''s creatures too!-- Could nobody come near me but that man''s confederates, either setting out so, or made so?
11364Was it necessary to humble me down to the low level of thy baseness, before I could be a wife meet for thee?
11364Was she not talking with you this moment?
11364Was you ordered to wait for an answer?
11364Well, but, after all[ how many after- all''s have I?]
11364Were I to be sure that this foundation is laid[ And why may I not hope it is?]
11364What a d--- l I moves you, to plead thus earnestly for a rebel, who despises your power?
11364What amends can such a one as thou make to a person of spirit, or common sense, for the evils thou hast so inhumanely made me suffer?
11364What answer, Mrs. Margaret, did you give the man, upon his asking for Mrs. Harriot Lucas?
11364What can she do but rave and exclaim?
11364What can this mean!--Who was the messenger you sent?
11364What could I say to such a question?
11364What defence, indeed, could there be against so determined a wretch, after you was in his power?
11364What duration is your reign to have?
11364What have I done to merit so much goodness, who never saw your Lordship in my life?]
11364What have you to say to me?
11364What is it she ought not to expect from an unchained Beelzebub, and a plotting villain?
11364What is she afraid of?
11364What is thy business?
11364What is your business with me, friend?
11364What is your business, friend, with Mrs. Harry Lucas?
11364What nonsense then to suppose that such a mere notional violation as she has suffered should be able to cut asunder the strings of life?
11364What redress lies for a perpetuated evil?
11364What right have you to detain me here?
11364What right have you to stop me, as you lately did; and to bring me up by force, my hands and arms bruised by your violence?
11364What say you, cousin Lovelace?
11364What though the presence of a fine lady would require a different behaviour, are you not of years to dispense with politeness?
11364What vestigia, what remembrances, but such as will inspire abhorrence of the attempter?
11364What will you do for clothes, Madam?
11364What will you do for money, Madam?
11364What, he asks, is the injury which a church- rite will not at any time repair?
11364What, said she, would you have me do?
11364When settest thou out for the Isle of Wight, love?
11364Whence, Jack, can this be?
11364Where will she mend herself?
11364Wherefore then should grief sadden and distort such blythe, such jocund, features as mine?
11364Whether her virtue be principle?
11364Whether, if once subdued, she will not be always subdued?
11364Whether, in a word, you intend to hinder me from going where my destiny shall lead me?
11364Whither, Madam, do you design to go when you get out of this house?
11364Who has a right to controul me?
11364Who now shall provide the nuptial ornaments, which soften and divert the apprehensions of the fearful virgin?
11364Who says that, sleeping and waking, I have not fine helps from somebody, some spirit rather, as thou''lt be apt to say?
11364Who the devil could have expected such strange effects from a cause so common and so slight?
11364Who therefore so fit for an example to the rest of her sex?
11364Whose regret, at times, can be deeper than mine, for the injuries I have done her?
11364Why all these exclamations?
11364Why all this extravagant passion?
11364Why am I to be thus detained against my will?
11364Why did I not send for their coach, as I had intimated?
11364Why do you call Mr. Solmes vile?
11364Why hesitate you, Sir?
11364Why should I seek to conceal that disgrace from others which I can not hide from myself?
11364Why should I?
11364Why then should this enervating pity unsteel my foolish heart?
11364Why then were there not more examples of a virtue so immovable?
11364Why this terror, my life?
11364Why will she make it necessary for me to bring Lady Betty and my cousin to my assistance?
11364Why, Mr. Lovelace, must I be determined by your motions?--Think you that I will voluntarily give a sanction to the imprisonment of my person?
11364Why, why, thought I, as I did several times in this conversation, will she not generously forgive me?
11364Will it not be rather surmised, that she may be apprehensive that some weakness, or lurking love, will appear upon the trial of the strange cause?
11364Will not Col. Morden, as her trustee, put her in possession of it?
11364Will not the consequence of your departure hence be that I shall lose you for ever, Madam?--And can I bear the thoughts of that?
11364Will you eat, or drink, friend?
11364Will you take Dorcas?
11364With what face can I take upon me to reproach a want of prudence in her?
11364Would I dare, she asked me, to offer at a palliation of my baseness?
11364Would she be pleased to assure me that she would stay here only till Tuesday morning?
11364Yet is she not haughty?]
11364Yet what does even my success in my machinations bring me but regret, disgrace, repentance?
11364You are Mrs. Harriot Lucas, I suppose, Madam?
11364You persuade your lady to be afraid of alighting.--See you not that she is just fainting?
11364You thought, Madam, you had given me room to hope your pardon by it?
11364a- year, enable a man to do?
11364and Dorcas whipt to the inner- hall door, and saw her; but, taking her for Mabell, Are you going far, Mabell?
11364and have we not attempted rescues, and dared all things, only to extricate a pounded profligate?
11364and how could you pass me unseen?
11364and when a CLARISSA could not move me?
11364and wherefore these agonizing apprehensions?
11364and whether you bespoke your nephew''s attendance there on Sunday night the 11th?
11364and will you acquit her whom that condemns?
11364and, if you do, whether he be very intimate with my uncle Harlowe?
11364at a time too, when, as it falls out, I have another very sensible disappointment to struggle with?
11364have we not defied the civil magistrate upon occasion?
11364knows not how to forgive with graciousness?
11364one whom she knew to be a rake?
11364or what malefactor ought to be hanged?
11364said he-- But since we are, I will but ask a question-- My dearest life, why this apprehension?
11364said she-- do you authorize these women-- what right have they, or you either, to stop me?
11364what a hand have I made of it!--And all for what?
11364what, in the mean time, shall I do with this admirable creature?
11364when the will, the consent, is wanting-- and I have still views before me of obtaining that?
11364when, of consequence, the affair is irretrievable?
11364with the weapons thou brandishest so fearfully against him.--And to what purpose, when the mischief is done?
9798''As to my charge upon him of unpoliteness and uncontroulableness-- What[ he asks] can he say?
9798''What ails the perverse creature?''
9798***** This man have more terror at seeing me, than I can have at seeing him!--How can that be?
9798A little interruption.--What is breakfast to the subject I am upon?
9798ANGRY!--What should I be angry for?
9798After what I had resolved upon, as by my former, what shall I write?
9798All this violence from you, Miss Clary?
9798And am I to appear before them all?
9798And from whom arises that subject, I pray you?
9798And has he not promised temper and acquiescence, on the supposition of a change in my mind?
9798And have I, but on your account, reason to value what they think?
9798And how do you now, Mr. Hickman?
9798And how must this insolence of his, aggravated as my brother is able to aggravate it, exasperate them against me?
9798And if not, whether she should not marry him as soon as possible?
9798And if not,''Whether I should not marry him as soon as possible?''
9798And if not,''Whether you should not marry him as soon as possible?''
9798And is a brother, an only brother, of so little consideration with you, as this comes to?
9798And is it worthy of your generosity[ I ask you, my dear, is it?]
9798And know you any of the particulars of those sad stories?
9798And my brother''s insolent question comes frequently in, Whether I am not writing a history of my sufferings?
9798And now, my dear, how is it with you?
9798And now, my dear, what shall I conclude upon?
9798And tell me, what argument can you urge, that this true declaration answers not before- hand?
9798And then he fared the better from her, as he always does, for faring worse from me: for there was, How do you now, Sir?
9798And this is your answer, Niece?
9798And this, my dear, is all that Mr. Hickman could pick up about him: And is it not enough to determine such a mind as yours, if not already determined?
9798And what concession she had gained from her dear child to merit this tenderness?
9798And what must that child be, who prefers the rake to a father?
9798And what need you care?
9798And what occasion for the promise, if he had not faults, and those very great ones, to reform?
9798And what then, Brother?
9798And what workman will throw away a sharp tool, because it may cut his fingers?
9798And when you are so well entitled to give them?
9798And who knows but they may have a still earlier day in their intention, than that which will too soon come?
9798And why do they blame her?--Why?
9798And will the pious Clarissa fib to her mamma?
9798And would not you bear with her?--Don''t you love her( what though with another sort of love?)
9798And would you not wish me to judge of your love for her by my own?
9798And would you, in resentment, shew her and the world, that you can voluntarily rush into the highest error that any of our sex can be guilty of?
9798And yet is there any other way than to do as I have done, if I would avoid Solmes?
9798And yet, why was I so affected; since I may be said to have been given up to the cruelty of my brother and sister for many days past?
9798And, besides, can any thing worse be said of Mr. Lovelace, than I have heard said for several months past?
9798And, depend upon it, he will not suffer them quietly to carry you to your uncle''s: And whose must you be, if he succeeds in taking you from them?
9798And, pray, do n''t I bear a great deal from her?--And why?
9798And, rally me as you will, pray tell me fairly, my dear, would it not have had such an effect upon you?
9798And, to see how familiar these men- wretches grow upon a smile, what an awe they are struck into when we frown; who would not make them stand off?
9798Are you, who refuse ever body''s advice, to prescribe a husband to your sister?
9798As how, Betty?
9798As how, Miss Dolly?--Did she not explain herself?--As how, my dear?
9798As it was-- Sir, said I, saw you not some of the servants?--Could not one of them have come in before you?
9798At his going away-- How can I leave you here by yourself, my dear?
9798At last, I asked him, if it were not thought strange I should be so long absent from church?
9798At my expense?--At the price of all my happiness, Sir?
9798Besides, What discredit have I to fear by such a step?
9798Besides, did I not reserve a power of receding, as I saw fit?
9798But for that, I know not what I might do: For who can tell what will come next?
9798But how can we resolve to see you?
9798But if a boisterous temper, when under obligation, is to be thus allowed for, what, when the tables are turned, will it expect?
9798But is not hers the disgrace, more than yours?
9798But is there not more danger from a sharp tool than from a blunt one?
9798But let this be as it will, shall I tell you, how, after all his offences, he may creep in with you again?
9798But tell me, if you can, Is it resolved that I shall be carried to my uncle Antony''s on Thursday?
9798But what a giddy creature shall I be thought, if I pursue the course to which this letter must lead me?
9798But what can be said in the case of an aversion so perfectly sincere?
9798But what condescensions, even from my father, can induce me to make such a sacrifice as is expected from me?
9798But what is the other, Madam?
9798But what would you have said at EIGHTEEN, is the question?
9798But when she was asked, What concession she had brought you to?
9798But who knows what may be the result of my being carried to my uncle Antony''s?
9798But who would wish to drain off or dry up a refreshing current, because it now- and- then puts us to some little inconvenience by its over- flowings?
9798But why should I, who have such real evils to contend with, regard imaginary ones?
9798But why should you, by the nobleness of your mind, throw reproaches upon the rest of the world?
9798But will it not exasperate he more against me?
9798But will you receive, shall you be permitted to receive my letters, after what I have done?
9798But would you expect favours, and grant none?
9798But you tell me, that, in order to gain time, I must palliate; that I must seem to compromise with my friends: But how palliate?
9798But, after all, should I, ought I to meet him?
9798But, how, on this revocation of my appointment, shall I be able to pacify him?
9798But, if it be a rash thing,[ returned she,] should she do it?
9798By whom, Betty?
9798By whose order?
9798Can not such purity in pursuit, in view, restrain him?
9798Can nothing be thought of?
9798Can you stand his displeasure, on first seeing the dear creature who has given him and all of us so much disturbance?
9798Did he learn this infamous practice of corrupting the servants of other families at the French court, where he resided a good while?
9798Did you ever hear of such perverseness, Madam?
9798Do n''t they already think that your non- compliance with their odious measures is owing a good deal to my advice?
9798Do n''t you know where it is written, That soft answers turn away wrath?
9798Do n''t you see how crooked some of my lines are?
9798Do n''t you see, my dear Miss Howe, how they are all determined?--Have I not reason to dread next Tuesday?
9798Do not use those freedoms naturally arise from the subject before us?
9798Do the servants, who, as you observe, see her skittish airs, disrespect you for them?
9798Do they not act in character?--And to whom?
9798Do they not, at such times, look concerned for you?
9798Do you beat me, Bella?
9798Do you call this beating you?
9798Do you then please that I shall hear it?
9798Do you think I could not be permitted to tarry one week longer?
9798Does it not, moreover, manifest a firmness of mind, in an unhappy person, to keep hope alive?
9798Does she suspect that your fervent friendship may lead you to a small indiscretion?
9798Does the man think he is so secure of me, that having appointed, he need not give himself any further concern about me till the very moment?
9798Either, said she, the lady must be thought to have very violent inclinations[ And what nice young creature would have that supposed?]
9798For God''s sake, what, Sir?--How came God''s sake, and your sake, I pray you, to be the same?
9798For have I given the man encouragement sufficient to ground these threats upon?
9798For is not this to suppose myself ever in the right; and all who do not act as I would have them act, perpetually in the wrong?
9798For see you not how irresistible the waves of affliction come tumbling down upon me?
9798Go in before me, child, said Bella,[ vexed to see her concern for me,] with thy sharp face like a new moon: What dost thou cry for?
9798Has what he has said of me, Madam, convinced you of Mr. Lovelace''s baseness?
9798Have I, do you think, a desire to double and treble my own fault in the eye of the world?
9798Have I, or have I not, suffered or borne enough?
9798Have they not prohibited our correspondence upon that very surmise?
9798Have you any thing you are afraid should be seen by your mother?
9798Have you no eyes for this side of the chariot?
9798Have you no new fetch for your uncle Antony?
9798Have you not a Thomas a Kempis, Sister?
9798How can I consent to see him again, when yesterday''s interview was interpreted by you, Madam, as well as by every other, as an encouragement to him?
9798How can I tell, Miss?
9798How can we, when you are resolved not to do what we are resolved you shall do?
9798How can you be so unmoved yourself, yet so able to move every body else?
9798How can you say advanced?
9798How could I avoid making these strong declarations, the man in presence?
9798How could you send such a letter to Mr. Solmes?
9798How do you now, as my mother says to Mr. Hickman, when her pert daughter has made him look sorrowful?
9798How much easier to bear the temporary persecutions I labour under, because temporary, than to resolve to be such a man''s for life?
9798How often, my dear, have you and I endeavoured to detect and censure this partial spirit in others?
9798How seem to compromise?
9798How shall I bear to hear such a creature talk of love to me?
9798How shall I know that?
9798How shall those beauties be valued, which can not be comprehended?
9798How they all gazed upon one another!--But could I be less peremptory before the man?
9798I asked if this was her own insolence, or her young mistress''s observation?
9798I asked my aunt, If it were necessary, that the gentleman should be present?
9798I asked what she would do, were she in my case?
9798I believe he is, Miss-- Would you have him sent for back?
9798I put it to her, in the most earnest manner, to tell me, whether I might not obtain the favour of a fortnight''s respite?
9798I think they seemed to be moving when Mr. Solmes gave me his orders.--But what answer shall I carry to the''squire?
9798I think you have answered Solmes''s letter, as I should have answered it.--Will you not compliment me and yourself at once, by saying, that was right?
9798I to purchase their happiness by the forfeiture of my own?
9798I will hear all that I am to hear; that it may be over now and for ever.--You will go with me, Betty?
9798If I could, did I say?
9798If not, what right have you to treat me thus; and to procure me to be treated as I have been for so long a time past?
9798If persons pretending to principle, bear not their testimony against unprincipled actions, what check can they have?
9798If she be foolish-- what is that owing to?--Is it not to her wit?
9798If the world is unjust or rash, in one man''s case, why may it not be so in another''s?
9798If, Sir, it be suspected, that I have set my heart upon any other, why is Mr. Solmes to give himself any further trouble about me?
9798In short, to make my sake God''s sake, in the sense of Mr. Solmes''s pitiful plea to me?
9798In the first place, let me ask you, my dear, supposing I were inclined to follow your advice, Whom have I to support me in my demand?
9798Is Mr. Solmes gone, Betty?
9798Is it such a mighty matter for a young woman to give up her inclinations to oblige her friends?
9798Is not this cause enough for me to ground a resentment upon, sufficient to justify me for accompanying you; the friendship between us so well known?
9798Is not this usage enough to provoke a rashness never before thought of?
9798Is there, however, no medium?
9798It begins thus: Honoured Sir-- I beg your pardon, Sir, said I: but what, pray, is the intent of reading this letter to me?
9798It may be fancy only on her side; but parents look deeper: And will not Miss Clarissa Harlowe give up her fancy to her parents''judgment?
9798It will be farther tried; of that I am convinced; and what will be their next measure, who can divine?
9798LOVELACE?''
9798LOVELACE?''
9798Let me ask you, If something would have been done, had you been more gently used, than you seem to think you have been?
9798Madam!--How long are we to be at this distance, Clary?
9798Madam, and shaking your head so significantly?
9798Must I not be his, whatever,( on seeing him in a nearer light,) I should find him out to be?
9798Must I, my sweet Cousin?
9798My aunt looked in first; O my dear, said she, are you there?
9798My friends themselves, he says, expect that I will do myself what he calls, this justice: why else do they confine me?
9798My uncle came to me, looking up also to my face, and down to my feet: and is it possible this can be you?
9798Now it is, Why, Miss, do n''t you look up your things?
9798O my beloved creature!--But are not your very excuses confessions of excuses inexcusable?
9798Or shall I embark for Leghorn in my way to my cousin?
9798Pardon me, Madam, I do n''t say you have a hand in it.--But, my dearest Aunt, tell me, Will not my mother be present at this dreaded interview?
9798Questions whether she will not rather choose to go off with one of her own sex than with Lovelace?
9798See you not in her passiveness, what boisterous spirits can obtain from gentler, merely by teasing and ill- nature?
9798Shall I be a pedant, Miss, for this word?
9798Shall I tell you some of the matters charged against him?--shall I, my dear?
9798Shall I tell you-- but why should I?
9798She loves dearly to have weddings go forward!--Who knows, whose turn will be next?
9798She took notice of them-- Why these sighs, why these heavings here?
9798Solmes, why stand you thus humbly?--Why this distance, man?
9798Some of them have been afraid to see me, lest they should be moved in my favour: does not this give a reasonable hope that I may move them?
9798Surely a week would?
9798That the greater their own cowardice, as it would be called in a man, the greater is their delight in subjects of heroism?
9798The ardour with which he vows and promises, I think the heart only can dictate: how else can one guess at a man''s heart?
9798The most admired of our moderns know nothing of this art: Why?
9798The vein is opened-- Shall I let it flow?
9798Then let not Mr. Solmes stay.--Why hold you me thus?
9798Then turning to my uncle, Do you hear, Sir?
9798They wo n''t kill me?
9798This makes me half- afraid to ask you, if you think you are not too cruel, too ungenerous shall I say?
9798This then is the case: They entreat, they pray, they beg, they supplicate( will either of these do, Miss Clary?)
9798To do evil, that good may come of it, is forbidden: And shall I do evil, yet know not whether good may come of it or not?
9798Upon the whole, Madam, said I, can you say, that the inveteracy lies not as much on our side, as on his?
9798Violent girl, however, he called me-- Who, said he, who would have thought it of her?
9798Was I not finely beset, my dear?
9798Was this my spiteful construction?
9798Were I to comply, must I not leave my relations, and go to him?
9798What an honour would it be to him to have such a wife?
9798What are riches, what are settlements, to happiness?
9798What can I advise you to do, my noble creature?
9798What can I do, my dearest Aunt Hervey?
9798What can I do?
9798What can I do?
9798What detriment?
9798What have I done, that I must be banished and confined thus disgracefully?
9798What have I to do with these headstrong spirits?
9798What have you done?--What have you written?
9798What hopes can there be, that a lady will ever esteem, as a husband, the man, whom, as a lover, she despises?
9798What is it, he asks, that he has promised, but reformation by my example?
9798What is there in it, says she, that all this bustle is about?
9798What mean you, Sir,[ struggling vehemently to get away,] to detain me thus against my will?
9798What say you, Mr. Solmes?
9798What say you?
9798What then!--I can but-- But what?
9798What though the contention will be between woman and woman?
9798What will they do, Betty?
9798What will they do?
9798What workman loves not a sharp tool to work with?
9798What would you have had me say, my dear?--I wo n''t tell you what I did say: But had I not said what I did, who would have believed me?
9798What would you have of them?
9798What''s that for?
9798What, Madam, has the man dared to say of me?
9798What, Madam, is now to be done with me?
9798What, pray, Miss, are they?
9798What, taking my hand, can be the matter with you?--Why, my dear, tremble, tremble, tremble, at this rate?
9798Where, asks she[ as you have been asked before], is the praise- worthiness of obedience, if it be only paid in instance where we give up nothing?
9798Whether I am willing or not willing, you mean, I suppose, Mrs. Betty?
9798Whither go you, Niece?
9798Who but pities you, and blames he?
9798Who can forbid tears?
9798Who commands my attendance, Miss?
9798Who is it, then, Madam, that so reluctant an interview on both sides, is to please?
9798Who knows what Tuesday or Wednesday may produce?
9798Who was the old Greek, that said, he governed Athens; his wife, him; and his son, her?
9798Who would not enjoy a power, that is to be short- lived?
9798Who, I, Sir, to find you bowels you naturally have not?
9798Whom now, Clary, said my sister, do you reflect upon?
9798Why should the poor girl be turned out of doors so suddenly, so disgracefully?
9798Why will you send your servant empty- handed?
9798Why, dear, good Sir, am I to be made unhappy in a point so concerning my happiness?
9798Will nothing do, but to have a man who is the more disgustful to me, because he is unjust in the very articles he offers?
9798Will she not so far favour me?
9798Will you doubt, my dear, that my next trial will be the most affecting that I have yet had?
9798Will you give me your hands?
9798Will you go down, Miss Clary, or will you not?
9798Will you see your father?
9798Would a girl, modest as simple, above seventeen, be set a- singing at the pleasure of such a man as that?
9798Would a week?
9798Yet I will ask you, Have you, Miss, no more proposals to make?
9798Yet a club will beat down a sword: And how can you expect that they who are hurt by you will not hurt you again?
9798Yet what can I do?--I believe I shall take it back again the first thing in the morning-- Yet what can I do?
9798Yet why should I be thus uneasy, since, should the letter go, I can but hear what Mr. Lovelace says to it?
9798You are an ungrateful and unreasonable child: Must you have your way paramount to every body''s?
9798You ask me, in a very unbrotherly manner, in the postscript to your letter, if I have not some new proposals to make?
9798You see how determined-- But how can I expect your advice will come time enough to stand me in any stead?
9798Your answer is required, whether you cheerfully consent to go?
9798a stranger, and professedly in disguise!--Would her father and grandmother, if honest people, and careful of their simple girl, permit such freedoms?
9798after this instance of you so lightly dispensing with your promise?
9798and does this suspicion offend you?
9798and that to be withdrawn, whenever I disoblige him?
9798and when I am determined never to encourage him?
9798as well as I do?
9798because they think you merit better treatment at her hands: And is not this to your credit?
9798could escape you penetrating eye?
9798cries one:--''Is she love- sick?''
9798he asked-- Was this the interpretation I put upon his brotherly care of me, and concern for me, in order to prevent my ruining myself?
9798how could my uncle Harlowe so dissemble?]
9798in the eye of that world which, cruelly as I am used,( not knowing all,) would not acquit me?
9798in your behaviour to a man who loves you so dearly, and is so worthy and so sincere a man?
9798is it to make thy keen face look still keener?
9798might not I be obliged with one week, without such a horrid condition as the last?
9798no answer, my dear?--Why so much silent grief?
9798nor how much nobler it is to forgive, and even how much more manly to despise, than to resent, an injury?
9798not if your father or mother command it-- Girl?
9798particularly, upon your own family-- and upon ours too?
9798repeated I: and this from my aunt Hervey?
9798said I-- Had not Mr. Solmes a view in this?
9798said I-- Have you not been in tears, my dear?
9798said my aunt-- Could I have thought a brother would have said this, to a gentleman, of a sister?
9798said my uncle, withdrawing his hands from mine: Could I ever have thought of this from you?
9798said she, patting my neck-- O my dear Niece, who would have thought so much natural sweetness could be so very unpersuadable?
9798silent still?--But, Clary, wo n''t you have a velvet suit?
9798that my cousin Morden-- But what signifies wishing?
9798to think of taking so undutiful a step, because you believe your mother would be glad to receive you again?
9798to what end, Sir?--Do I contend for any thing more than a mere negative?
9798what can I?
9798when I myself declared, that if I saw him a second time by my own consent, it might be so taken?
9798who knows what?
9798with a look of pity, as if she understood the meaning of my exclamation-- But must that necessarily be the case?
10799''But has goody Moore any other lodgings to let?''
10799''What are our affairs to him?
10799''Wife, Lovelace?''
10799* Might she be assured, she asked him, that her brother, with Singleton and Solmes, were actually in quest of her?
10799* Was it not easy then, thinkest thou, to contrive a shorter letter out of a longer; and to copy the very words?
10799** and before Mrs. Sinclair, and her household, and Miss Partington?
10799*** A gentleman to speak with me, Dorcas?--Who can want me thus early?
10799*** Is all ready, Dorcas?
10799*** Well, Jack!--And what thinkest thou of this last letter?
10799***--And yet why fly I from subjects that, duly considered, might tend to correct and purify my heart?
10799**--And do not I know that it is?
10799-- And what is there so very greatly amiss, AS THE WORLD GOES, in all this?
10799--Was not this a bold put, Jack?
10799--Whither does that path lead?
10799--in this Tomlinson?
10799>>> And thus situated, should he offer greater free- doms, must you not forgive him?
10799>>> But can I think[ you will ask with indignant astonishment] that Lovelace can have designs upon your honour?
10799Absolutely resolved, Madam?
10799All sweetly blushing and confounded-- I know how she will look!--But why should she, the sufferer, be ashamed, when I, the trespasser, am not?
10799And I am truly afraid, that his very generosity is more owing to his pride and his vanity, that that philanthropy( shall I call it?)
10799And I thought I felt drops of scalding water[ could they be tears?]
10799And are we not told, that in being well deceived consists the whole of human happiness?
10799And as to trying her, is she not now in the height of her trial?
10799And can not I, as I have often said, reward her when I will by marriage?
10799And can there, after all, be a higher piece of justice, than to keep one smuggler in readiness to play against another?
10799And can you refuse to ratify your own promise?
10799And do not your sprightly ladies love your smart fellow, and your rakes?
10799And does he imagine, said she, that I could be brought to countenance to them the report you have given out?
10799And freely?
10799And has not my own heart deceived me, when I thought it did not?
10799And how can I receive a visit that must depress me more?
10799And how could I do this better, than by dialoguing a little with him before them?
10799And if she do, may she not forgive the last attempt?--Can she, in a word, resent that more than she does this?
10799And if so, to whom shall I be accountable for what I do to them?
10799And in the protection they offer you, if you are dissatisfied with mine?
10799And is it not in my own power still, by the Divine favour, to secure the greatest stake of all?
10799And is it not now fairly come to-- Who shall most deceive and cheat the other?
10799And is not the widow Bevis my fast friend?
10799And is not your friendship the pride of my life?
10799And is not your friendship the pride of my life?
10799And may not this very contrivance save a world of mischief?
10799And now, Belford, was it not worth while to be sick?
10799And pray, Sir, what is it?
10799And shall such a sneaking passion as this, which can be so easily gratified by viler objects, be permitted to debase the noblest?
10799And shall that of a Clarissa swell the guilty list?
10799And should not my beloved, for her own sake, descend, by degrees, from goddess- hood into humanity?
10799And should she not have charity for me, as I have for her?
10799And that then she may assist privately at your nuptials?
10799And the rather, as the maid told us, that the lady had asked her if such a gentleman[ describing him] was not in the parlour?
10799And then, if there be as much flaming love between these girls as they pretend, will my charmer profit by her escape?
10799And to her''s and to the honour of her sex, if I cannot?--Where then will be the hurt to either, to make the trial?
10799And what dost think was the matter?
10799And what have I to fear from my brother and sister?
10799And what is the sum of the present argument; but that had I not been a villain in her sense of the word, she had not been such an angel?
10799And what must be that love, that has not some degree of purity for its object?
10799And what right has a petitioner to be angry at a repulse, if he has not a right to demand what he sues for as a debt?
10799And what, Sir, said my mother?
10799And what, pray, Captain, was your advice?
10799And what, pray, must be the issue, when her uncle''s friend comes, although he seems to be a truly worthy man?
10799And who knows but it may be the better for the lady the less she makes necessary?
10799And who knows but she may?
10799And whose property, I pray thee, shall I invade, if I pursue my schemes of love and vengeance?
10799And why may it not rather be a servant of your cousin Morden, with notice of his arrival, and of his design to attend you?
10799And why should it be thought strange, that I, who love them so dearly, and study them so much, should catch the infection of them?
10799And why, dearest creature, said I, must every thing that happens, which we can not immediately account for, be what we least wish?
10799And why?
10799And will he not pursue his intentions in my favour, nor be himself reconciled to me, except I am married?
10799And will it not look well to have a lodger who keeps his chariot?
10799And will you be so good as to allow of this, Mr. Lovelace?
10799And will you look upon me to- morrow as if nothing had passed?
10799And wouldest thou think it?
10799And, as the sting of this reflection will sharpen upon me, if I recover her not, how shall I ever be able to bear it?
10799And, in either case, will not the remembrance of thy ever- during guilt, and transitory triumph, be a torment of torments to thee?
10799Another of her feints, I suppose: for how, or with whom, could any thing of this sort have been concerted since yesterday morning?
10799Are not all our engines in readiness?
10799Are we to form our opinion of things by the romantic notions of a girl, who supposes that to be the greatest which is the slightest of evils?
10799As to my spouse herself, has she not reason to be pleased with me for having permitted her to receive Miss Howe''s letter from Wilson''s?
10799Briefly, whether you are actually, and bonâ fide, married to Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10799But I ask him, how he can already expect any mark of deference or politeness from you?
10799But as to this letter, methinkest thou sayest, of Miss Howe?
10799But did not I tell thee that I had provided for every thing?
10799But did not the sweet soul deserve this turn upon her, for feloniously resolving to rob me of herself, had the application made by Hickman succeeded?
10799But didst thou think, Jack, that there was so much-- What- shall- I- call- it?
10799But if I answer that I am, what then?
10799But if there be infection in that house, how has my beloved escaped it?
10799But if this is so, what,[ it would be asked by an indifferent person,] has hitherto saved you?
10799But let me ask you one previous question-- Do you know Colonel Morden, Sir?
10799But let me see, shall I be angry or pleased when I am admitted to my beloved''s presence?
10799But seest thou not that I have a claim of merit for a grace that every body hitherto had denied me?
10799But suppose you desire to go out of town for the air, this sultry weather, and insist upon it?
10799But this effect of her joy on such an occasion gives me a high notion of what that virtue must be[ What other name can I call it?]
10799But this, indeed, may be said of all worldly delights.--And is not that a grave reflection from me?
10799But was it improper to ask for copies of my proposals, and of her answer, in order to show them to his dear friend, her uncle?
10799But what advantages do I give thee?
10799But what am I about?
10799But what indeed is an imperial crown itself when a man is used to it?
10799But whither, whither, my dearest love, would you go!--Think you not that I will follow you, were it to the world''s end!--Whither would you go?
10799But why must the faults of other people be laid at my door?
10799But why, Jack, is this dear creature so lovely, yet so invincible?--Ever heardst thou before that the sweets of May blossomed in December?
10799But why, my dear, should these men( for Mr. Lovelace is not singular in this) think themselves above giving these beautiful proofs of a feeling heart?
10799But why?
10799But would it not be better to show her uncle the draught of the settlements, when drawn?
10799But, Madam, can not a body just peep into the other apartment; that I may be more particular to my wife in the furniture of it?
10799But, my dear, will you be pleased to consider what answer half a dozen people whence you came, could give to your question?
10799But, pray, Sir, to the immediate purpose of your present commission; since a commission it seems to be?
10799But, to be insulted and defied by a rebel in one''s power, what prince can bear that?
10799But, when I have no such hope, is it right[ you are a serious man, Sir] to make a venture that shall endanger my own morals?
10799Can not I steal to some neighbouring house, where I may be concealed till I can get quite away?
10799Can you take no pleasure in the promised visit of Lady Betty and my cousin Montague?
10799Canst thou be more abandoned than they?
10799Captain Devilson, what care I?--Do you see how you have disordered your lady?
10799Captain Tomlinson, sayest thou?
10799Could the dear creature put Dorcas upon telling this fib, yet want to save me one?
10799Dear Ladies, is there no back- door for me to get out at while you hold him in talk?
10799Devil, as these girls between them call me, what of devil am I, but in my contrivances?
10799Did I court her at first with the allowance of her friends, her brother excepted?
10799Did I not generously spare her, when in my power?
10799Did you never go out by your- self, and discharge the coach or chair, and return>>> by another coach or chair?
10799Didst thou imagine that such a fellow as that had bowels?
10799Do I doubt, Sir, that you have not something to say for any thing you think fit to do?
10799Do n''t I look devilishly down and concerned, Landlord?
10799Do n''t you see, Madam, that your uncle wishes to find that we are married?
10799Do not the lovers, when mutual consent awaits their wills, retire to coverts, and to darkness, to complete their wishes?
10799Do they not both deserve it of me?
10799Do you know anything of Colonel Morden, friend?
10799Do you know such a man as Captain Tomlinson, my dearest life,[ aside,] your uncle''s friend?
10799Do you think I may not insist upon her absolving me from this abominable oath?
10799Does she not invade my province, thinkest thou?
10799Dost think, Jack, that my face did not now also shine?
10799Early riser as I am, how could he think to find me up thus early?
10799For am I not a smart fellow, and a rake?
10799For had not the dear creature already passed for my wife before no less than four worthy gentlemen of family and fortune?
10799Good lack-- good lack!--What may be her story then, I pray?
10799H.*** Now, Belford, what canst thou say in behalf of this sweet rogue of a lady?
10799Habit, habit, Jack, seest thou not?
10799Had I a rencounter with that brother?
10799Had I not a cursed task of it?
10799Had I not given a flagrant proof of this to the once most indulgent of parents?
10799Had not that contrivance its effect at that time, for a procrastination?
10799Had you not better see him?
10799Has he not given you a flagrant specimen of what a man he is, and of what his is capable, by the disguises you saw him in?
10799Has my beloved kept her word with me?--Whether are these billowy heavings owing more to love or to fear?
10799Has she not broken her promise?
10799Hast thou a mind tot see what it was I permitted Miss Howe to write to her lovely friend?
10799Have I not enow of my own?
10799Have I not often said, that human nature is a rogue?
10799Have I not reason to think that she is coming about?
10799Have I not said that human nature is a rogue?
10799Have I not told thee our whole story?
10799Have not those who have a right to her renounced that right?
10799Have they not wilfully exposed her to dangers?
10799Have you more to say than has been said?
10799Have you no wish to see your uncle''s friend?
10799Have you not been in the army?
10799He has promised to keep from your uncle what has happened: but what will he think if he find you hold in this strange humour?
10799He should have been quite angry-- For what gave I him the nod positive?
10799Heartily?
10799Her senses, thought I, are much livelier than mine.--What a devil have I done, that she should be so very implacable?
10799How came she,( thought I, at the instant,) by all this penetration?
10799How can that be?
10799How did the dear creature look, Dorcas?
10799How do you, Mr. Lovelace?
10799How does she look?
10799How goes it with thy uncle?
10799How happy should I think myself to be admitted into their correspondence?
10799How meanly must thou think of her, that thou couldst presume to be so guilty, and expect her to be so weak as to forgive thee?
10799How oddly things come about!--But does any other of the Harlowes know where we are?
10799How often, in the past twelve hours, have I wished that I could cry most confoundedly?
10799I am loth to reproach myself, now the cruel creature has escaped me; For what would that do, but add to my torment?
10799I asked, if she approved of the settlements?
10799I begged excuse for sitting down, and asked, who was the minister of the place?
10799I had a gentle reprimand for this light turn on so heavy an evil--''For what was the loss of beauty to the loss of a good husband?''
10799I hoped she had no objection to my bringing that lady and my cousin Montague up with me?
10799I know the world; and will take the liberty to say, that if the young lady-- Captain Tomlinson, I think you are called?
10799I started, and, in a haughty tone, is this, Sir, a question that must be answered before you can proceed in the business you have undertaken?
10799I told thee, Belford, all I did: Was there any thing in it so very much amiss?
10799I wait here only for a letter from Miss Howe-- that must determine me-- Determine you as to Mr. Lovelace, Madam?
10799I was the affected with it, as I am afraid it was occasioned by the violent contentions between us.--But was I in fault?
10799I was to mistrust myself, was I?
10799If I have not your pardon before Captain Tomlinson comes to town, what shall I say to him?
10799If he were a good preacher?
10799If it be pride that restrains her, ought not that pride to be punished?
10799If my advocate had nothing to say for me, what hope of carrying my cause?
10799If shame, what a shame to be ashamed to communicate to her adorer''s sight the most admirable of her personal graces?
10799If you are absolutely determined, be pleased to let me know what I shall say to your uncle?
10799In what, then, am I so singularly vile?
10799Indeed I heard him talking, thought not what he said, and am indifferent about it.--But what account does he give of himself?
10799Indeed for all you have to spare-- For who knows what my spouse''s brother may attempt?
10799Is it policy to show so open a resentment for innocent liberties, which, in her situation, she must so soon forgive?
10799Is not one country as good to me as another, if I should be obliged to take another tour upon it?
10799Is not thy uncle dead yet?
10799Is she not an Harlowe?
10799Is she not now yielding up her resentment for an attempt which she thinks she ought not to forgive?
10799Is there no possibility of getting to a coach?
10799Is this an answer to my question?
10799Is this deified passion, in its greatest altitudes, fitted to stand the day?
10799Is this the design of your flattering speeches?
10799Is this the forgiveness that was the condition of my obedience?
10799It is necessary that I should answer?
10799It is not that I shall be of party against myself?
10799Lay your hand upon your heart, and answer me, am I your wedded wife?
10799Let me ask any rake in England, if, resolving to carry his point, he would have been so long about it?
10799Let me beg of you-- What askest thou?
10799May I not re- appeal this to your own breast, as well as to Captain Tomlinson''s treaty and letter?
10799May not the ceremony be privately over, before his mediation can take place?
10799Miss Howe''s answer to my last unreceived?--And shall I, Sir, be in such a HURRY, as if I thought my honour in danger if I delayed?
10799Miss R. Give me leave to ask you, Madam, Is there no room to hope for accommodation?
10799Mutual obligation is the very essence and soul of the social and commercial life:--Why should she be exempt from it?
10799My dearest life!--Do you think that he would disapprove of the terms I have offered?
10799My heart was perfectly easy, how could my stomach be otherwise?
10799Need they know all that passes between my relations and you and me?
10799No, Madam, that''s true, if she be good- humoured, as you say-- Has she been with you long, Madam?
10799Not for my own sake, you know, did I wish you to take it; for what is it to me, if I am never reconciled to your family?
10799Not in the way, said I!--Whither can the dogs be gone?
10799Nothing can happen amiss, thou sorrowful dog!--What can happen amiss?
10799Now- a- days!--A fool!--Have not her history- books told her that they were always so?
10799O Jack, with such an invention, what occasion had I to carry my beloved to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10799O that I had not such a mixture of revenge and pride in my love, thought I!--But,( my old plea,) can not I make her amends at any time?
10799Of Captain Singleton?
10799Once again, why and for what all these convulsions?
10799Once more wilt thou wonderingly question-- All this pains for a single girl?
10799Or should Dorcas attend her for any of her commands on that head?
10799Ought she not to be punished?
10799Patience, puppy!--Canst thou not trust thy master?
10799Perhaps, Sir, you would board, as well as lodge?
10799Poor Miss Rawlins, thought I; and dost thou know how men go?
10799Pr''ythee, Belford, forgive my nonsense, and my Vulcan- like metaphors-- Did I not tell thee, not that I am sick of love, but that I am mad with it?
10799Pray, your Honour, said she, if I may be so bold, was madam ever a mamma?
10799Saw you not how bad I was?
10799Say, are we married, or are we not?
10799See we not the natural bent of idiots and the crazed?
10799See you not my Lord M. and Lady Sarah longing to bless you, for blessing me, and their whole family?
10799Seest thou not that this unseasonable gravity is admitted to quell the palpitations of this unmanageable heart?
10799Seest thou now how the raving girl threatens her mother?
10799Shall I write to the Captain, and acquaint him, that we have no objection to it?
10799She asked her if she would have bread and butter with her tea?
10799She asked him if he thought Lady Betty and Miss Montague intended her a visit?
10799She asked, if he thought I had hopes of prevailing on her to go back to town?
10799She desired to know, if she would not breakfast?
10799She paused-- then resuming-- and think you, Sir, that my uncle will refuse to receive a letter from me?
10799She started, sighing-- Are you going, Sir?
10799She talks of her father''s curse!--But have I not repaid him for it an hundred fold in the same coin?
10799She then came up to me with a wrathful countenance: do you call your servant, Sir, to hinder me, between you, from going where I please?
10799She then espied my new servant walking under the window, and asked if he were not one of mine?
10799Silly fellow!--Did ever any man, thinkest thou, deceive a woman, but at the expense of his veracity; how, otherwise, can he be said to deceive?
10799Sir, you must first allow me to repeat my question: Are you really, and bonâ fide, married to Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10799Specious seducer!--Only tell me if I can not get away from him by some back way?
10799Surely he must deal with some fiend, or how could he have found me out?
10799That I always took care to keep seals entire, and to preserve covers?
10799That I am not at Sinclair''s?
10799The Captain and I have agreed, that it shall be so insinuated occasionally-- And what''s thy opinion, Jack?
10799The settlements still to be signed?
10799The struggle only, Whether I am to have her in my own way, or in her''s?
10799Then I fear her as much as I love her.--How shall my pride bear these reflections?
10799Then pausing, Is that the way to Hendon?
10799Then the busy Miss Rawlins fished on, to find out from her either a confirmation or disavowal of my story-- Was Lord M. my uncle?
10799Then up from my seat stumped I-- what do you call these window- curtains, Madam?
10799Then, Sir, you have no thoughts-- no thoughts--[looking still more sorrowfully,] of marrying this wonderful lady?
10799Then, turning her face towards London, she seemed, by the motion of her handkerchief to her eyes, to weep; repenting[ who knows?]
10799There''s no casting an eye upon her, is there, without her notice?
10799Thinkest thou that I could bear to be outwitted?
10799This must be all from education too-- Must it not, Belford?
10799Thou knowest I never was a sordid villain to any of her inferiors-- Her inferiors, I may say-- For who is not her inferior?
10799To what purpose brought I this angel( angel I must yet call her) to this hellish house?--And was I not meditating to do her deserved honour?
10799To what purpose meet you?
10799To what purpose should I meet you to- morrow morning?
10799Tomlinson!--Why this undue condescension?
10799Very true: How should she?
10799Very well, Captain-- And was such a person employed on such an errand by her uncle?
10799Was he really of opinion that Lady Betty would pay her a visit?
10799Was it not crime enough to give occasion for those entreaties?
10799Was she so persecuted in favour of a very disagreeable man, one Solmes, as to induce her to throw herself into my protection?
10799Well but, Sir, have you then any commission to me from Mr. John Harlowe?
10799Well observed-- Can''t you, Landlord, lend or sell me a pair of stockings, that will draw over these?
10799Well, friend, what is your business with Mr. and Mrs. Lovelace?
10799Well, my dearest life, what say you to your uncle''s expedient?
10799Were it not for surprises now- and- then, how would an honest man know where to have them?
10799What a triumph has her sex obtained in my thoughts by this trial, and this resistance?
10799What can I have in view but peace and reconciliation?
10799What can be still in his head, to endeavour to pass these stories upon strangers?
10799What can you then think of Tomlinson''s declar- ing himself in favour of it upon inquiry?
10799What canst thou say for her?
10799What defence have I against a man, who, go where I will, can turn every one, even of the virtuous of my sex, in his favour?''
10799What had I to do to go out a license- hunting, at least till I had seen her, and made up matters with her?
10799What hadst thou seen in the conduct of Clarissa Harlowe, that should encourage such an insult upon her as thou didst dare to make?
10799What has my conduct been, that an insult of such a nature should be offered to me, and it would be a weakness in me to forgive?
10799What have been her trials?
10799What hinders, dearest Madam, what now hinders, but that Lady Betty Lawrance, when she comes, may be acquainted with the truth of every thing?
10799What is his name?
10799What is there in being enabled to boast, that I am worth more than I can use, or wish to use?
10799What man or woman, who is covetous of power, or of making a right use of it?
10799What need I( she asks me,) lock myself in,** if I am only reading past correspondencies?
10799What pretence hast thou for tormenting me thus?
10799What right, what title, have you to persecute me thus?
10799What said my dear mother?
10799What then but remorse can follow a forcible attempt?
10799What was his conduct to you afterwards, that you should of a sudden change it?
10799What widow, what servant, asks questions of a man with an equipage?
10799What will the people below, who suppose us one as to the ceremony, think of so great a niceness?
10799What would you have me answer?
10799What''s the matter, Dorcas?
10799What, my dear, would you have me say to the Captain to- morrow morning?
10799What, pray, Sir, is your question?
10799When, Sir, shall you want to come in?
10799When, when was it to be?
10799Whence, however, this strange rhapsody?--Is it owing to my being here?
10799Where can a woman be safe, who has once entered the lists with a contriving and intrepid lover?
10799Where is he?
10799Where, Madam?
10799Whither does that path lead, out yonder?--What is that town on the right hand called?
10799Who can blame him?
10799Who knows, thought I to myself, but more may come of this plot, than I had even promised myself?
10799Who preached at the Chapel?
10799Whom came you from?
10799Why brought I such an angel into such a house?
10799Why must I be thus pursued and haunted?
10799Why not?
10799Why now, Jack, were it not better, upon her own notions, that she seemed not so sensible as she will make herself to be, if she is very angry?
10799Why then thy teasing impertinence?
10799Why will these girls put me upon my master- strokes?
10799Why, Sir, my business is only to know if your honour be here, and to be spoken with; or if you shall be here for any time?
10799Why, Sir, should I be so much afraid of my brother?
10799Will not these trembling fingers, which twice have refused to direct the pen, fail me in the arduous moment?
10799Will you permit me to attend you in the morning, before I set out on my return?
10799Will you, Madam, consent that things pass as before with the people below?
10799With a face so unblushing, how darest thou appear in my presence?
10799Would there have been a second of time difference, had you come up slowly?
10799Wouldst thou make a merit to me, that thou didst not utterly ruin her whom thou oughtest to have protected?
10799Yes, Jack-- But is not this girl a CLARISSA?--And who knows, but kind fortune, as a reward for my perseverance, may toss me in her charming friend?
10799Yes, ride, Jack; for am I not lame?
10799Yes, wife, for who knows what cautions the dear fugitive may have given in apprehension of me?
10799Yet have I not always done her justice?
10799Yet what mercy does she show me?
10799You need not question his liberality; but one house can not hold us.--Why, if it would, did I fly from him, to seek refuge among strangers?''
10799You will not wonder that I am grave on this detection-- Detection, must I call it?
10799You will then breakfast with me, Captain?
10799Your servant, Sir,--Mr. Lovelace, I presume?
10799[ But why do I now, when you seem to be in so good a train, puzzle and perplex you with my retrospections?
10799[ Didst thou never hear the good folks talk of taking Heaven by storm?]
10799[ I must write my free sentiments in this case; for have I not seen the angel?]
10799and had I not then reason to fear, that the lady would find enough to make her dislike this house?
10799and that I am not still further prepared to support my story?
10799be not you the inflicter, who have been the cause of it: but spare me, I beseech you, spare me!--for how have I deserved this treatment from you?
10799been my servant upwards of seven years?
10799but can you think of force to such a fine creature?
10799for disappointing me of a promised interview?
10799for dost thou think I would have tamely given up the lady to Townsend''s tars?
10799have I not told thee so twenty times over?
10799hide me!--Is he gone?
10799how can you put such a question?
10799into such company?--And why do I not stop my ears to the sirens, who, knowing my aversion to wedlock, are perpetually touching that string?
10799lie in the house?
10799never, my angel!--Is this forgiveness?
10799or are you not yet married?
10799or have had so much compunction as I have had?
10799said he, who can but pity him?
10799said she, lifting up her lovely face, and clasped hands, what is at last to be my destiny?
10799said she: the license still to be obtained?
10799say.--Who knows, but that I may in time, in compliment to myself, bring her to think well of thee, Jack?
10799so little a way?''
10799that thus far I rave against?
10799thinkest thou that I will take all this roguish pains, and be so often called villain for nothing?
10799who can say as you say?
10799why beat you thus together?
10799wouldst thou have me decline a trial that they make for the honour of a sex we all so dearly love?
10799yet) glittering in the collected riches of his vast empire?
10462''*--What must that heart be that can triumph in a distress so deep, into which she has been plunged by thy elaborate arts and contrivances?
10462''If Mrs. Fretchville knows not her own mind, what is her house to me?
10462''Let me ask you, Madam, I beseech you tell me, what I have done to deserve this distant treatment?
10462''Whither can she fly to avoid me?
10462*** And now, Belford, what dost think?
10462*** And what must necessarily be the consequence of all this with regard to my beloved''s behaviour to me?
10462----And why did he not fall into this temptation?
10462--And what if she could?--What could Hannah do for her in such a house as this?
10462--Are women only to tease, I trow?
10462--Can you so expect to narrow and confine such a passion as mine?
10462--Could a Lovelace have allowed himself a greater license?
10462--Is there any bearing this, Belford?
10462--May I see the letter?
10462--One favour, dearest creature-- Let me but know, whether Miss Howe approves or disapproves of my proposals?
10462--What sayest thou to this, Belford?
10462--Yet no harm done by me, nor so much as attempted?
10462--creature if you be, forgive me!--forgive my inadvertencies!--forgive my inequalities!--pity my infirmities!--Who is equal to my Clarissa?
10462Am I not a villain, a fool, a Beelzebub, with them already?
10462Am I not obliged to deserve thy compliment?
10462Am I not under a necessity, as it were, of quarrelling with him; at least every other time I see him?
10462Am I not your general?
10462And are not cautions against the perfidy of our sex a necessary part of the female education?
10462And are not lovers''oaths a jest of hundreds of years''standing?
10462And as it gives people the power of being mischievous, does it not require great virtue to forbear the use of that power?
10462And did not Essex''s personal reflection on Queen Elizabeth, that she was old and crooked, contribute more to his ruin than his treason?
10462And do you think, my worthy woman, do you think, that the wilful lapse of such a child is to be forgiven?
10462And for what?
10462And has, besides, overheard a conversation[ who would have thought she had been so near?]
10462And have I so much as summoned this to surrender?
10462And if I do her this justice, shall I not have a claim of her gratitude?
10462And if I do, after prevailing( whether by surprise, or by reluctant consent) whom but myself shall I have injured?
10462And is not the mind of a person strongly indicated by outward dress?
10462And now, Jack, dost thou think she''ll attempt to get from me, do what I will?
10462And so, Sir, taking all you say for granted, your cousin Montague can not come to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10462And that other great one, of fixing myself here night and day?
10462And then it was with my hopes, and my hopes, and my hopes, that I should have been early admitted to-- What weather is it, Dorcas?
10462And think you, my dear, that Scipio did not blush with indignation, when the charge was first communicated to him?
10462And this will be a further proof of my love, and will demand a grateful return-- And what then, thou egregious contriver?
10462And what a vulture of a man must he be, who souses upon his prey, and in the same moment trusses and devours?
10462And what if she shows a great deal of concern?
10462And what in saying this, and acting up to it, do I offer you, but the frits of a friendship your worth has created?
10462And what shall deter an attempter?
10462And what should it be but of the answer the truly admirable creature had intended to give to my written proposals in relation to settlements?
10462And what the contents?
10462And what were my four friends to her in her present circumstances?
10462And what will being sick do for thee?
10462And what will this do?
10462And what woman answers affirmatively to the question?
10462And who knows but that once indulgent uncle, who has very great weight in the family, may be induced to interpose in my behalf?
10462And why do the sex love rakes, but because they know how to direct their uncertain wills, and manage them?
10462And why sayest thou she loves me?
10462And why shouldst thou punish me, for having more conscience and more remorse than thyself?
10462And will not such a man as this engross all your solitudes?
10462And will she not think herself the obliged, rather than the obliger?
10462And would a man who has nothing but faults( for pray, Sir, what are your virtues?)
10462And wouldst thou have me repent of a murder before I have committed it?
10462And wouldst thou make her unhappy for her whole life, and thyself not happy for a single moment?
10462And you say you have tried Mrs. Norton''s weight with my mother?
10462And, indeed, what is a covetous man to be likened to so fitly, as to a dog in a wheel which roasts meat for others?
10462Are there no pigeons and chickens in every poulterer''s shop?
10462Are these sayings bad, Sir?
10462Are they not now robbing his heirs?--What has thou to do, if the will be as thou''dst have it?--He sent for thee[ did he not?]
10462Are we not children of this world?
10462Are you not men born to considerable fortunes, although ye are not all of you men of parts?
10462Art thou able to say half the things in her praise, that I have said, and am continually saying or writing?
10462As the nymphs below ask, so do I, Why is night necessary?
10462But after all, see you not, my dear, more and more, the mismatch that there is in our minds?
10462But as for thy three brethren, they must do as I would have them: and so, indeed, must thou-- Else why am I your general?
10462But can there be such apprehensions between them, yet the one advise her to stay, and the other resolve to wait my imperial motion for marriage?
10462But didst ever hear who was the wisest woman?
10462But do you call this odd soul''s letter[ no more will I call him old soul, if I can help it] a love- letter?
10462But do you know the subject, Nancy?
10462But here, Jack, what shall I do with my uncle and aunts, and all my loving cousins?
10462But how shall I find this out; since her Dorcas knows no more of her dressing and undressing than her Lovelace?
10462But in a play does not the principal entertainment lie in the first four acts?
10462But is she, in the instance before us, more polite for a woman?
10462But knowest thou not young Newcomb, honest Doleman''s newphew?
10462But let me ask, Has it not been a constant maxim with us, that the greater the merit on the woman''s side, the nobler the victory on the man''s?
10462But otherwise, he had seen as many contrite faces at the Royal Chapel, as any where else: and why not?
10462But should she be so much grieved at this?
10462But suppose a person of your talents were to marry a man of inferior talents; Who, in this case, can be so happy in herself as Miss Clarissa Harlowe?
10462But thou wilt not drown the poor fellow; wilt thou?
10462But what can you promise youself, as to perseverance in them, with an immoral husband?
10462But what hinders you from leaving me?--Cannot I send to you?
10462But what is become of Lord M. I trow, that he writes not to me, in answer to my invitation?
10462But what is person with such a lady as I have the honour to be now writing to?
10462But what is this saying, but that I must be first wiser?
10462But what necessity can there be for hypocrisy, unless the generality of the sex were to refuse us for our immoralities?
10462But what points will not perseverance carry?
10462But what, said I, is the result of your inquiry?
10462But why callest thou the lady innocent?
10462But why do I translate these things for you?
10462But why so, my dear?
10462But why, now, when fairer prospects seem to open, why these melancholy reflections?
10462But why, rather I should ask, will she fight against her stars?
10462But why?--Do they think it so great a disgrace to be found out to be really what they are?
10462But, after all, I am sorry, almost sorry( for how shall I do to be quite sorry, when it is not given to me to be so?)
10462But, if not,[ was it his business, my dear, before I spoke( yet he seemed to be afraid of me) to say, if not?]
10462But, if we are good- natured and humane: if the woman has art:[ and what woman wants it, who has fallen by art?
10462Can a girl be degraded by trials, who is not overcome?
10462Can not I find one yielding or but half- yielding moment, if she do not absolutely hate me?
10462Can she herself think that she deserves not the severest punishment for the abuse of such talents as were intrusted to her?
10462Can you hope, cousin, with such a man as this to be long so good as you now are?
10462Canst thou doubt, that it was all complaisance next time she admitted me into her presence?
10462Could a man act a weaker part, had he been really married; and were he sure he was going to separate from the mother of his own children?
10462Could not the man have fallen into the subject without this parade?
10462Could they expect, that a mother would not vindicate her authority?
10462Courage whenever I assume, all is over: for, should she think of escaping from hence, whither can she fly to avoid me?
10462D. Dear Madam, would you blame me, if to wish you not to marry Mr. Antony Harlowe, is to wish well to myself?
10462D. From Mr. Antony Harlowe, I suppose, Madam?
10462D. How can I expect, Madam, that you should refuse such terms?
10462D. How, Madam, could I think of any body else?
10462D. Then he is to come again, Madam?
10462D. Will you forgive me, Madam?
10462D. Without hearing the whole of the letter?
10462Dear creature!--Did she never romp?
10462Depend they not, generally, upon their fortunes, in the views they have upon us, more than on their merits?
10462Did she never, from girlhood to now, hoyden?
10462Didst thou ever know that a woman''s denial of any favour, whether the least or the greatest, that my heart was set upon, stood her in any stead?
10462Do I what, Madam?--And why vile man?
10462Do n''t you see that his very skin is a fortification of buff?
10462Do n''t you think so, my dear?
10462Do not girls of fortune adorn themselves on purpose to engage our attention?
10462Do not the hunters of the noble game value the venison less than the sport?
10462Do not the sex carry all their points with their men by the same methods?
10462Do you defend these two gentlewomen, Sir, by reflections upon half the sex?
10462Do you know how my poor Hannah does?
10462Do you know, my dear, how this can be?
10462Do you not think, my dear, that I have reason to be incensed at him, my situation considered?
10462Does not the example you furnish, of having succeeded with her, give encouragement for others to attempt her likewise?
10462Does not the keen fox- hunter endanger his neck and his bones in pursuit of a vermin, which, when killed, is neither fit food for men nor dogs?
10462Dorcas is to be attached to her interest: my letters are to be come at by surprise or trick''-- What thinkest thou of this, Jack?
10462Dost think I brought the dear creature hither for nothing?
10462Even suppose the husband is in the wrong, will not this being so give the greater force to her expostulation?
10462For what, with a mind so unequal as his, can be my best hope?
10462For what?
10462For why, in short, should not the work of bodies be left to mere bodies?
10462For why, when they know they can not do good, may they not as well endeavour to gratify, as to nauseate, the patient''s palate?
10462For why?
10462God give us both comfort; and to the once dear-- the ever- dear creature( for can a mother forget her child?)
10462Good!--But how wilt thou manage to bring up blood, and not hurt thyself?
10462Has not she?
10462Hast thou not observed, the charming gradations by which the ensnared volatile has been brought to bear with its new condition?
10462Have I conversed with them so freely as I have done, and learnt nothing of them?
10462Have I not always told thee so?
10462Have I not called thine the plotting''st heart in the universe?
10462Have I not said, that the honour of her sex is concerned that I should try?
10462Have my uncles given their sanction, and made it a family act?
10462Have you not been impoliticly shy of her?
10462He is but an uncle, is he?
10462He owns likewise that he has not the address of Mr. Lovelace: but what a mere personal advantage is a plausible address, without morals?
10462He was full of excuses-- O my dear, what would you, even you, do with such a man as this; and in my situation?
10462How can it be?
10462How can she think to be a wife?
10462How comes it to pass, that I can not help being pleased with this virago''s spirit, though I suffer by it?
10462How could you brook to go backward, instead of forward, in those duties which you now so exemplarily perform?
10462How dare I what, Madam?
10462How dare I what?
10462How dare you curse any body in my presence?
10462How know I then, upon recollection, that my censures upon theirs are not too rash?
10462How my indignation rises for this poor consolation in the courtship[ courtship must I call it?]
10462How should I know, unless the dear creature had communicated them to me?
10462Hudibras questions well,------What mad lover ever dy''d To gain a soft and easy bride?
10462I am said, to doubt her love-- Have I not reason?
10462I am sensible that my pleas and my reasoning may be easily answered, and perhaps justly censured; But by whom censured?
10462I asked her, if she had had the small- pox?
10462I find he was full of expectation that I should meet him with a very favourable, who knows but with a thankful, aspect?
10462I need not bid you respect me mightily: your allegiance obliges you to that: And who that sees me, respects me not?
10462I saw not, I said, begging her pardon, that she liked any body.--[Plain dealing for plain dealing, Jack!--Why then did she abuse my friends?]
10462I took her reluctant hand, and pressed it to my lips.--Dearest, loveliest of creatures, why this distance?
10462I would have flung from him in resentment; but he would not let me: and what could I do?
10462If a woman suspects a rogue in an honest man, is it not enough to make the honest man who knows it a rogue?
10462If he come, it will be in pursuance of that line, I presume?
10462If now she has so little liking to his morals, has she not reason before to have as little?
10462If such a man as Mr. Lovelace knows not this, who should?
10462If they were faulty in some of the measures they took, while they themselves did not think so, who shall judge for them?
10462If women have such things in their heads, why should not I in my heart?
10462If you ask me, my dear, how this caution befits me?
10462If your parents and you differ in sentiment on this important occasion, let me ask you, my dear cousin, who ought to give way?
10462In what light am I to look upon you?
10462Is he not?
10462Is it he?
10462Is it not generally agreed that he can not recover?
10462Is it not plain, my dear, that he designs to vex and tease me?
10462Is not all in a manner over when you come to the fifth?
10462Is not the devil said to be the god of this world?
10462Is not the world full of these deceptions?
10462Is the devil in the girl?
10462Is the passion you boast of to be thus shockingly demonstrated?
10462Is this to be borne by a Lovelace?
10462Knowest thou not, that I am a great name- father?
10462M. And suppose he be?
10462M. Old soul, Nancy!--And thus to call him for being a bachelor, not having a child!--Does this become you?
10462M. That sum has your approbation then?
10462M. What now would the pert one be at?
10462M. What would the girl say?
10462M.[ Lips drawn closer: eye raised] Why, my dear!--I can not but own-- But how, I wonder, could you think of Mr. Anthony Harlowe?
10462May I be allowed to read his letter?
10462Memorandum, To be considered of-- Whether, in order to complete my vengeance, I can not contrive to kidnap away either James Harlowe or Solmes?
10462Mennell?
10462Most confoundedly alarmed!--Lord, Sir, what do you think?
10462Mrs. Sinclair came out at that instant, and asked me, if I did not choose a dish of chocolate?
10462Must I not with such a man, says she, be wanting to myself, were I not jealous and vigilant?
10462Must it not even rise strongest upon a thoughtful mind, when her hopes are the fairest?
10462My cursed character, as I have often said, was against me at setting out--Yet is she not a woman?
10462My dearest creature, need I to have mentioned any thing of this?
10462My dearest life,[ taking her still folded hands in mine,] who can bear an invocation so affecting, though so passionate?
10462My dearest love, are you well?
10462My dearest, dearest creature, would you incur a maternal, as I have a paternal, malediction?
10462Nor was my Rosebud the only girl I spared:--When my power was acknowledged, who more merciful than thy friend?
10462Now, Belford, were I to go no farther than I have gone with my beloved Miss Harlowe, how shall I know the difference between her and another bird?
10462Now, my dear, is not this a particular incident, either as I have made it, or as it was designed?
10462O my beloved creature, will not this be agreeable to you?
10462O my dearest life, said he, why will you banish me from your presence?
10462On my return, meeting Dorcas on the stairs-- Your lady in her chamber, Dorcas?
10462Or shall I roundly accost him, in the words, in the form, which you, my dear, prescribed?
10462Or, for a lady tender- hearted, In purling streams, or hemp, departed?
10462Rememebrest thou not this scene?
10462Seek they not to draw us into their snares?
10462Shall we deprive them of the benefit of their principal dependence?--Can I, in particular, marry every girl who wishes to obtain my notice?
10462She asked, if she might take a copy of Miss Montague''s letter?
10462She found, said he, that I was unable to determine about entering upon it; and now who knows when such a vapourish creature will come to a resolution?
10462She is in my eye all mind: and were she to meet with a man all mind likewise, why should the charming qualities she is mistress of be endangered?
10462She proceeded: What now remains, but that you pronounce me free of all obligation to you?
10462Should she attempt to fly me upon it, can not I detain her?
10462Sick!--Why sick?
10462So likewise her father fears; her brother hears; and what can I do?
10462Suppose I were to be unhappy, what, my dear, would this resolution of yours avail me?
10462Tell me, Madam, I conjure you to tell me, this moment, without subterfuge or reserve, in what light am I to appear to you in future?
10462The dear girl hoped that nothing had passed in her behaviour to give me dislike to her.--Should she bring her to me?
10462The first word he asked Dorcas, was, If I had received a letter since he had been out?
10462The more noble any one is, the more humble; so bear with me, if you would be thought noble.--Am I not your uncle?
10462The women below say she hates me; she despises me!--And''tis true: she does; she must.--And why can not I take their advice?
10462Then so sensual!--How will a young lady of your delicacy bear with so sensual a man?
10462Then turning to him, I asked, if he kept me there his prisoner?
10462There, Belford!--Worse off than Mercury!--Art thou not?
10462They doubt not my generosity, they say: But why for my own sake, in Lord M.''s style, should I make so long a harvest of so little corn?
10462Those, Mr. Belford, who most love, are least set by.--But who would expect velvet to be made out of a sow''s ear?
10462To stand by, and see fair play between an old man and death?
10462Was not this my motive for bringing her hither?
10462Was not this plain speaking, think you, my dear?
10462Well then, will he not be obliged to declare himself?
10462Well, but shall we not be in danger of being hanged for three such enormous rapes, although Hickman should escape with only a bellyful of sea- water?
10462Well, but to the letter-- Yet what need of further explanation after the hints in my former?
10462Well, then, shall this poor privilege, that we may part with a woman if we will, be deemed a balance for the other inconveniencies?
10462Were not hesitation, a self- felt glow, a downcast eye, encouragement more than enough?
10462What a figure should I make in rakish annals, if at last I should be caught in my own gin?
10462What a- devil shouldst thou be sick for?
10462What could I say?
10462What for?
10462What is it, pray?
10462What is the whole world to me, weighed against such a friend as you are?
10462What is there in an easy conquest?
10462What may happen next, whether a storm or a calm, with such a spirit as I have to deal with, who can tell?
10462What room for delicacy now?--Or would you have me write to him?
10462What sayest thou to this, Jack?
10462What signifies her keeping me thus at a distance?
10462What signifies power, if we do not exert it?
10462What signifies thy tedious whining over thy departing relation?
10462What therefore, upon the whole, do we get by treading in these crooked paths, but danger, disgrace, and a too- late repentance?
10462What think you, my dear, of this expedient?
10462What think you?
10462What woulds''t thou more?
10462What''s the matter now?
10462What, in the first place, wilt thou ask, shall be done with Hickman?
10462What, my dearest cousin, shall I plead first to you on this occasion?
10462What, pray, Sir, can be pleaded for the condescension, as you call it?
10462What, pray, is her objection to Mrs. Sinclair''s?
10462What, says he, might have become of me, and of my projects, had not her father, and the rest of the implacables, stood my friends?
10462Whither go, the evening advanced?
10462Who can account for the workings of an apprehensive mind, when all that is dear and valuable to it is at stake?
10462Who is it in this mortal life that wealth does not mislead?
10462Who knows, but on that very Monday night I may be so unhappy as to give mortal offence to my beloved?
10462Who knows, she says, but her dear friend was permitted to swerve, in order to bring about his reformation?
10462Who so proper to assist in making new holding laws, as those whom no law in being could hold?
10462Who, that hath such, will let''em be idle?
10462Why can not I make every day equally happy?
10462Why look you so solemn upon me?
10462Why should I mince the matter?
10462Why should he wish to expose his children to the scorn and insults of the rest of the world?
10462Why should such an angel be plunged so low as into the vulgar offices of a domestic life?
10462Why that word approbation?
10462Why then I shall have the less remorse, if I am to use a little violence: for can she deserve compassion, who shows none?
10462Why then do they keep tormenting him?
10462Why then does my foolish fondness seek to establish for her the same merit in my heart, as if she avowed it?
10462Why then should you hesitate a moment to confirm my happiness?
10462Why, again I repeat, should he have been desirous to bring me into such company?
10462Why, my dear, if you love me, will you not rather give another friend to one who has not two she is sure of?
10462Why, once more, would you banish me from you?
10462Why, why, my dear, will you fright me with your flaming love?
10462Why?
10462Will it not be kind in thee to put him out of his misery?
10462Will you say, your merits, either with regard to them, or to myself, may?
10462Will your indifference never be over?
10462With whom, think you?
10462Would I vouchsafe to say, whether I approved of his compliment to Lord M. or not?
10462Would not a brave fellow choose to appear in court to such an arraignment, confronting women who would do credit to his attempt?
10462Would not the world think there was an infection in my fault, if it were to be followed by Miss Howe?
10462Would to heaven-- but what signifies wishing?
10462Yes, to be sure, when caught-- But is there any likelihood of that?-- Besides, have we not been in danger before now for worse facts?
10462Yet considers not that a woman so perfect can never be displeased with her husband but to his disgrace: For who will blame her?
10462Yet do not her parents richly deserve to be in tears?
10462Yet the former with a freer will than the latter; for how can I leave my goddess?
10462Yet, how my soul thirsts for revenge upon both these ladies?
10462You are sure, that you can go abroad when you please?
10462You give yourself very free airs-- don''t you?
10462You will believe I can not: for how shall I tell him that all his compliments are misbestowed?
10462a man who makes a jest of his vows?
10462all his warnings vain?
10462and after sitting up with you, equally against my will, till a very late hour?
10462and do I not design to be better to you than your father could be?
10462and how do you know, if you once give way, where you shall be suffered, where you shall be able, to stop?
10462and is it thus you would entrap me?
10462and that even my highest expectation is to be the wife of that free- liver, whom he so pathetically warns me to shun?
10462and that our correspondence is safe?
10462and that you hinder me not from pursuing the destiny that shall be allotted me?
10462and to whose precarious situation art is so necessary?]
10462and why should he make them think themselves under obligation to every person of character, who will vouchsafe to visit them?
10462and wouldst thou give operation and completion to that curse, which otherwise can not have effect?
10462are they to be despised?--Well, then, why should I be despised for remembering them, and quoting them, as I love to do?
10462as I have often said, can not you touch a lady''s heart without wounding her ear?
10462betrayed by his own tenderness, and unused to female tears, would have been overcome?
10462expect that I should show a value for him?
10462for what relation has a lover''s heart to a rusty pair of hinges?
10462if this be right to be done, how difficult is it, where modesty and self( or where pride, if you please) is concerned, to do that right?
10462is it not enough that she is teased and tormented in person by me?
10462or both?
10462said I, can you think I have not some curiosity?
10462said I.--If you are a man of honour, what need of all this strange obliquity?
10462she may not yield to nightly surprises?
10462that all his advice is thrown away?
10462was it not, my dear?
10462watchful as you are, what could have happened?
10462when the greatest pride of all my family is, that of having the honour of so dear a creature for their relation?
10462why comest thou not just now, while these black prospects are before me?
10462why this displeasure?--How can you thus torture the faithfullest heart in the world?
10462will my beloved friend ask of her Clarissa?
10462with a trembling impatience, that seemed not affected-- What say you for to- morrow?
10462wouldst thou not have me act in character?
9881''And wilt thou, Lovelace, abuse that power which--''Which what, Belford?
9881''Are not provocations and temptations the tests of virtue?
9881''Do you incline to go to Florence to your cousin Morden?
9881''Forgive me, Madam-- I have just done-- Have I not, in your opinion, hazarded my life to redeem you from oppression?
9881''Is there but one Lovelace in the world?
9881''May not then the success of him, who could carry her thus far, be allowed to be an encouragement for him to try to carry her farther?''
9881''Now, what were her inducements to this correspondence?''
9881''That her regrets increase instead of diminish?
9881''That she shall not be easy while she is with me?
9881''Was a person of virtue to be prevailed upon to break through her apparent, her acknowledged duty, upon any consideration?''
9881( methinks thou askest with surprise) Dost thou question this most admirable of women?--The virtue of a CLARISSA dost thou question?
9881* Canst thou tell me, Jack, who says this?
9881* Why should you not have permitted him to send for Lord M.''s chaplain?
9881* Yet what means the man by foregoing the opportunities he has had to declare himself?--What mean his complaints of my restrictions to Mrs. Greme?
9881*) make me unhappy, when novelty has lost its charms, and when, mind and person, she is all my own?
9881***** What can be done with a woman who is above flattery, and despises all praise but that which flows from the approbation of her own heart?
9881-- But pray, Sir, interrupting him, how came you to apprehend that I should revoke my intention?
9881A Clarissa!--Was your love for such a man above your reason?
9881Above your resolution?
9881All hands at work in preparation for London.--What makes my heart beat so strong?
9881All this is mighty good, Sir: But to what does it tend?
9881Am I already lord of the destiny of a Clarissa Harlowe?
9881Am I already the reformed man thou resolvest I should be, before I had the least encouragement given me?
9881And I verily think I should be inclined to spare her all further trial( and yet what trial has she had?)
9881And again the wretch, instead of pressing his former question, asked me, If I forgave him for the humble suit he had made to me?
9881And am I so reduced, as that, to save the poor remains of my reputation in the world''s eye, I must watch the gracious motion from this man''s lips?
9881And as to this man, what can I do?
9881And can I be a villain to such an angel!--I hope not-- But why, Belford, why, once more, puttest thou me in mind, that she may be overcome?
9881And can she keep this love at bay?
9881And can there be a necessity for me to answer this?
9881And can you not think it is hard for a good parent to imagine herself under the unhappy necessity of so treating her woman- grown daughter?
9881And do I not see that I shall need nothing but patience, in order to have all power with me?
9881And do not her faults bring more disgrace upon a husband than even upon herself?''
9881And does this lady spare me?
9881And for which her own family will not forgive her?
9881And had not the rencounter then happened?
9881And if he had, would not there have been an end of all his pretensions and hopes?
9881And is her virtue founded in pride?--And, if the answer to these questions be affirmative, must she not then be a woman?''
9881And is not the man the most wicked of plotters?
9881And is she capable of affectation?
9881And may not such an apprehension give her an irreconcilable displeasure against me?
9881And now I mention that letter, why dost thou not wish me joy, Jack?
9881And now, Belford, what wilt thou say, if, like the fly buzzing about the bright taper, I had like to have singed the silken wings of my liberty?
9881And now, let me tell thee, that never was joy so complete as mine!--But let me inquire, is not the angel flown away?
9881And shall I marry a woman, who has given me reason to doubt the preference she has for me?
9881And shall I not first see the issue of one application?
9881And shall that necessary increase of care sit uneasy upon us, because we are grown up to stature and womanhood?
9881And then I asked him, what he really, and in his most deliberate mind, would advise me to, in my present situation?
9881And then for a little hint at reprisal-- am I not justified in my resolutions of trying her virtue, who is resolved, as I may say, to try mine?
9881And then, did I ever make him any promises?
9881And what can a lover say to his mistress, if she will neither let him lie nor swear?
9881And what could the lady say to this?
9881And what did you intend to do to Mr. Solmes?
9881And what have you not borne from them?
9881And what results?--''Is then the divine Clarissa capable of loving a man whom she ought not to love?
9881And what was this?
9881And what, Madam, will gaining time do?
9881And what, at this rate, is the general conclusion to be drawn from the premises?--Is it not, That no man ought to be vain?
9881And when our dangers multiply, both from within and without, do not our parents know, that their vigilance ought to be doubled?
9881And whether she be to be a wife at the first or at the second hand?
9881And who ever knew a rake stick at any thing?
9881And who has a right to controul a father''s judgment in his own family, and in relation to his own child?
9881And who knows what opportunities a man in love may have against himself?
9881And who shall put her to this trial?
9881And why is her own reliance on my honour so late and so reluctantly shown?
9881And why shouldst thou tempt her virtue?--Why shouldst thou wish to try where there is no reason to doubt?
9881And will not the reflections upon that wrong( what though it may be construed in my favour?
9881And will you, will you thus ungenerously, Mr. Lovelace, take advantage of my fears?
9881And wo n''t it be admirable, if, either through fear, fright, or good liking, we can get my beloved to accept of Dorcas Wykes for a bed- fellow?
9881And yet, on second thoughts, am I not a rake, as it is called?
9881And you will be honnerable and kind to my dearest young lady, God love her.--But who can be unkind to she?
9881And, if not, was she to be so prevailed upon to prevent an apprehended evil only?
9881And, indeed, for what now should she plot?
9881Are you not gone off?--With a Lovelace too?
9881But I am afraid that you was too scrupulous: for did he not resent that reference?
9881But again, let me stop.--Is there not something wrong, has there not been something wrong, in this divine creature?
9881But are not all rakes sad fellows?--And art not thou, to thy little power, as bad as any?
9881But can it be your opinion, that he intends to humble me down to the level of his mean pride?
9881But can the heart of man be so very vile?
9881But do you think I might not be safe and private in London?
9881But had he not been passive, as you call it, what would you have done to Mr. Solmes?
9881But has she had the candour, the openness, to acknowledge that love?
9881But has she not, as above, already taken steps, which she herself condemns?
9881But here comes the widow with Dorcas Wykes in her hand, and I am to introduce them both to my fair- one?
9881But how came it to pass, that one man could get out at the garden- door, and no more?
9881But how shall I do to make my fair- one keep her temper on the intimation?
9881But how wilt thou hinder the lady from apprizing her friend of the real name?
9881But if she will not, what a selfishness would there be in my love to you, were I to wish you to forego your duty for my sake?
9881But if you had not met him, you see that he was resolved to visit them, and well attended too: and what must have been the consequence?
9881But in exercising that talent, chooses rather to turn its eye outward than inward?
9881But is it not a confounded thing that I can not fasten an obligation upon this proud beauty?
9881But is it not my duty to try for it?
9881But is not that pride abated?
9881But knowest thou not my aversion to the state of shackles?--And is she not IN MY POWER?
9881But let me ask thee, Is not calamity the test of virtue?
9881But let me ask you, Madam, What have you borne from me?
9881But let me, in my turn, ask thee-- Is not, may not her virtue be founded rather in pride than in principle?
9881But once more, consider, could you possibly obtain that delay which seems to be your only dependence, whether you may not be closer confined?
9881But seest thou not now( as I think I do) the wind outstripping fair one flying from her love to her love?
9881But since I can not, will you be so good as to tell me what you would wish to have done?
9881But what could I say to this?--Extorted from him, as it seemed to me, rather as the effect of his compassion than his love?
9881But what dost think Deb''s name is to be?
9881But what, methinks thou askest, is to become of the lady if she fail?
9881But why did not the man show me these letters last night?
9881But why should she be more concerned for the safety of others than they were for their own?
9881But why shoulde it?
9881But why will this admirable creature urge her destiny?
9881But why, as in the chariot, as in the inn, at alighting, all heart- bursting grief, my dearest creature?
9881But why, but why unhappy, my dearest life?
9881But you ask me, if I would treat Mr. Lovelace, were he to be in Mr. Hickman''s place, as I do Mr. Hickman?
9881But you want to clear up things-- what can you clear up?
9881But, once more, can it be?
9881By all this, seest thou not how greatly preferable it is, on twenty accounts, to pursue a difficult rather than an easy chace?
9881By such exalted qualities?
9881Ca n''t you go on, Sir?
9881Ca n''t you go on, Sir?
9881Can I avoid concern, when those bickerings are on my account?
9881Can he, dare he, mock the Almighty?
9881Can she make him, who has been accustomed to triumph over other women, tremble?
9881Can you expect to be happy?
9881Can you think that Heaven will seal to the black passions of its depraved creatures?
9881Common bruit!--Is virtue to be established by common bruit only?--Has her virtue ever been proved?--Who has dared to try her virtue?
9881Did I ever profess a love for him?
9881Did I ever wish for the continuance of his address?
9881Did I not furnish you with stories enough, without hers, against myself, to augment your credit with your cunning masters?
9881Did she ever receive him as a lover?
9881Did she ever, she asks, make him any promises?
9881Did she persist in it against parental prohibition?
9881Did they not, at their own church, cluster together like bees, when they saw me enter it?
9881Did you not do for the best at the time?
9881Didst thou ever before hear of a man uttering solemn things by an involuntary impulse, in defiance of premeditation, and of all his proud schemes?
9881Do n''t you remember his pragmatical triumph, as told you by your aunt, and prided in by that saucy Betty Barnes, from his own foolish mouth?
9881Do not their grandmothers give them one easy rule-- Men are to ask-- Women are to deny?
9881Do you propose, Sir, said I, to take up your lodgings in the house where I shall lodge?
9881Do you think me the jay in the fable?
9881Do you think that my unhappy circumstances will alter my notions of my own duty so far as I shall be enabled to perform it?
9881Does not your brother''s project convince you more and more of this?
9881Does she not outdo me at every fair weapon?
9881Except your mother, who has no will of her own, have any of them common sense?
9881For how should I have resisted a condescending, a kneeling father, had he been able to have kept his temper with me?
9881For in that period do we not generally attract the eyes of the other sex, and become the subject of their addresses, and not seldom of their attempts?
9881For is not a wife the keeper of a man''s honour?
9881Grief so extreme: no pleasure in prospect, nor so much as in wish-- O my dear, who could think of entering into so solemn an engagement?
9881Has not God commanded us to bless and curse not?
9881Has not your family, Madam, some one tradesman they deal with, who has conveniences of this kind?
9881Has she been capable of error?
9881Has she not made me doubt her love?
9881Has she not taken officious pains to declare that she was not averse to Solmes for any respect she had to me?
9881Hast thou not been a witness of my ravings on this score?
9881Hast thou not reason to think it so?
9881Have I not had it in my heart to do some good that thou canst not remind me of?
9881Have I not, in the height of them, vowed revenge upon the faithless charmer?
9881Have I offered to defy the laws of society, as this brother of yours must do, if any thing be intended by this project?
9881Have we not suffered in the same cause?
9881Have you any acquaintance at Windsor?
9881He asked me to give him leave to propose, whether I chose to set out next day to either of his aunts?
9881He asked whether I would choose to lodge in the town of Windsor, or out of it?
9881He asked, if I had considered whither to have them directed?
9881He had the thought which I had not( for what had I to do with thinking, who had it not when I stood most in need of it?)
9881He is not a bashful man.--But you say, I inspire people with an awe of me.--An awe, my dear!--As how?
9881How can I obtain possession without litigation, and but by my trustees?
9881How can a daughter of spirits bear such language; such looks too with the language; and not have a longing mind to disobey?
9881How comes it about, I wonder, that a young lady so noted for predominating generosity, should not be uniformly generous?
9881How could this man, with such powers of right thinking, be so far depraved by evil habits, as to disgrace his talents by wrong acting?
9881How often, Mr. Lovelace, must I repeat, that I will not litigate with my father?
9881How shall I take it?
9881Humble a woman, and may she not be effectually humbled?
9881I am accustomed to be preferred, let me tell thee, by thy equals in rank too, though thy inferiors in merit: But who is not so?
9881I asked him( to hear what he would say) if he could recommend me to any particular place in London?
9881I asked him, if he thought such enormities as these, such defiances of the laws of society, would have passed unpunished?
9881I asked, in some confusion, what he would say?
9881I do to every body; and why?
9881I have but this one chance for it; for is not the day after to- morrow Wednesday?
9881I intended, indeed, to have stood it: And, if I had, how know I by whose name I might now have been called?
9881I may send to you, although you are forbid to write to me; may I not?--For that is not a correspondence( is it?)
9881I now, my dear, began to revive into a little more warmth of attention.--''And all, Madam, for what?''
9881I shall have him[ Who knows?]
9881I think you mentioned one to me, Sir-- Did you not?
9881I told him I designed to do so, through you-- And shall I beg of you, my dear, to cause the honest creature to be sent to?
9881If I can have her without marriage, who can blame me for trying?
9881If all this is heavy, lay your hand to your heart, and ask yourself, why you have deserved it?
9881If he has had any extraordinary trouble on my account, may he not thank himself for it?
9881If his pretences to reformation are but pretences, what must be his intent?
9881If impeccable, how came she by her impeccability?
9881If mutual, does it not imply mutual trust, mutual confidence?
9881If not what her niceness makes her think blameworthy, why does she blame herself?
9881If not, what may be the consequence?
9881If thou designest to be honest, methinkst thou sayest, Why should not Singleton''s plot be over with thee, as it is with her brother?
9881If well, whose modesty is it he distresses, but that of his own wife?
9881If you would have me rely upon your honour, why should you doubt of mine?
9881In justice to the man I shall have, I have vowed this: for, my dear, must I not be miserable, if you are so?
9881In what a strong light, then, must that error appear to her, that should so totally turn her heart against me, herself not a principal in the case?
9881In what manner do you expect to confirm it?
9881Indeed, my dear, I was very ill. And was I, moreover, to be as ready to accept his offer as if I were afraid he never would repeat it?
9881Is every body to take advantage thus of the weakness of my temper?
9881Is it in my power to take your advice, if I should think it ever so right to take it?
9881Is it not dealing ingenuously?
9881Is it now, my dear, a time for you to be afraid of being precipitated?
9881Is it so hard for you, my dear, to be treated like a child?
9881Is it thus, that the more thou knowest me, the less thou seest reason to approve of me?--And can art and design enter into a breast so celestial?
9881Is not that seen every day, from the prince to the peasant?
9881Is not the space from sixteen to twenty- one that which requires this care, more than at any time of a young woman''s life?
9881Is not then the whole sex concerned that this trial should be made?
9881Is this a time, Mr. Lovelace, is this a proper occasion taken, to give yourself these high airs to me, a young creature destitute of protection?
9881It would be a miracle, as thou sayest, if this lady can save herself-- And having gone so far, how can I recede?
9881It would be a pain to either to do so: What then is it in either''s approving of her own natural bias, but making a virtue of necessity?
9881Jack, when I see my angel, when I am admitted to the presence of this radiant beauty, what will become of all this vapouring?
9881James and Arabella may have their motives; but what can be said for a father acting as this father has acted?
9881Joy, of what?
9881Let LOVE then be the motive:--Love of whom?
9881Let me go back, then-- let me, before it is too late, go back, that it may not be worse for both-- What mean you by this forcible treatment?
9881Let me hear, said I,( willing to try if he had any particular view,) what you think most advisable?
9881Lord have mercy upon me!--But can it be?
9881Love you still!--How can I help it, if I would?
9881Lovelace?--said I-- Would you thus expose yourself?
9881Malice and ill- will, sitting in judgment upon my character, may not give sentence in my favour: But what of your own knowledge have you against me?
9881May I send it safely by your old man?
9881May not more Lovelaces be attracted by so fine a figure?
9881May there not be other Lovelaces, thou askest, who, attracted by her beauty, may endeavour to prevail with her?
9881Mean time, would I go to Lady Betty Lawrance''s( Lady Sarah was a melancholy woman)?
9881More than a match?
9881Must I never be at liberty to follow my own judgment?
9881Must not all, the dreadful all follow, that is torture to my heart but to think of?
9881My inducements to this are not owing to virtue: But if they were, what hope could I have of affecting thee by pleas arising from it?
9881My maiden vow, as I may call it!--For did not the sex begin with me?
9881My mind is, that you, Sir, should leave me out of hand-- How often must I tell you so?
9881Nor ask thou, shall the man be guilty, yet expect the woman to be guiltless, and even unsuspectible?
9881O Sir, do you want to be complimented into repentance and salvation?
9881O my dearest creature, do these preparations mean only a trial?
9881Of persisting in that error?
9881One evil draws on another after it; and how knows she, or any body, where it may stop?
9881Or is it Solomon?--King Solomon-- Thou remembrest to have read of such a king, dost thou not?
9881Ought not a balance to be struck; and the credit carried to my account?--Yet I must own too, that I half grudge Johnny this blooming maiden?
9881Shall I go and fetch the worthy woman myself?
9881Shall I send?
9881Shall not others as they please?
9881She consented; and asked what security I expected?
9881She must first know it herself, monkey, must she not?
9881She would not see him in a dishabille for the world-- What can she mean by it?
9881Shun not, therefore, my dear soul, further trials, nor hate me for making them.--''For what woman can be said to be virtuous till she has been tried?
9881So lively the one, so vigilant, so prudent both, who would not wish to outwit such girls, and to be able to twirl them round his finger?
9881So, Sir, you would have me employ a lawyer, would you, notwithstanding what I have ever declared as to litigating with my father?
9881Steps, which the world and her own family did not think her capable of taking?
9881Surely I am my own mistress: surely I need not ask your leave to make what terms I please for myself, so long as I break none with you?
9881Tell me not of politeness; tell me not of generosity; tell me not of compassion-- Is she not a match for me?
9881That I am not one who improve upon her in my conversation and address?''
9881That if I think she deserves the compliments I make her, I may pride myself in those arts, by which I have made a fool of so extraordinary a person?
9881That she knows better than to value herself upon my volubility?
9881That she shall never forgive herself for meeting me, nor me for seducing her away?''
9881That she will take care of herself; and, since her friends thing it not worth while to pursue her, she will be left to her own care?
9881That they are raised( instigated shall I say?)
9881That you are determined to have it in your power to favour or reject me totally, as you please?''
9881That your generosity should fail in an instance where policy, prudence, gratitude, would not permit it to fail?
9881The man to be so bashful; the woman to want so much courting!--How shall two such come together-- no kind mediatress in the way?
9881The wretch you are with, we are told, is every hour triumphing and defying-- Must not these informations aggravate?
9881Then who says Miss Clarissa Harlowe is the paragon of virtue?--Is virtue itself?
9881Then, what a triumph would it be to the Harlowe pride, were I now to marry this lady?
9881Thou seest what bias here takes-- And wilt thou doubt that mine will be determined by it?
9881To banish me from thee, to insist so rigorously upon my absence, in order to bring me closer to thee, and make the blessing dear?
9881To be clamoured at for repairs studied for, rather than really wanted?
9881To be denied a fox- chace, for breaking down a fence upon my own grounds?
9881To leave you now, would be to lose you for ever-- Am I to be thus compelled?
9881To my point--''What must that virtue be which will not stand a trial?--What that woman who would wish to shun it?''
9881To the test then, as I said, since now I have the question brought home to me, Whether I am to have a wife?
9881Upon these principles, what had I to do but to construe her silence into contemptuous displeasure?
9881Was a daughter ever known who had higher notions of the filial duty, of the parental authority?
9881Was he afraid of giving me too much pleasure?
9881Was he not called, by his very soldiers, on one of his triumphant entries into Rome, the bald- pated lecher?
9881Was it Socrates?
9881Was not the great Caesar a great rake as to women?
9881Was there ever a giddier creature?--Yet this is the celebrated, the blazing Clarissa-- Clarissa what?
9881We have had a charming dialogue-- She flung from me in a passion-- So-- What''s now to be done?
9881Well, but how comes all this about?
9881Well, but what in such a situation is to be done?
9881Were not her faults, before this, numerous enough?
9881Were not his objections as to the publicness of the place, I asked him, as strong now as before?
9881What a wicked schemer you are, Sir!--Who shall avenge upon you the still greater evils which you have been guilty of?
9881What an useful lesson would this afford, were it properly inculcated at the time that the tempted mind was balancing upon a doubtful adventure?
9881What books can tell her more than she knows?
9881What can one oppose but sullens, when it would be unpardonable so much as to think of lifting up a finger?
9881What cause have I given you to treat me with so much severity and so little confidence?
9881What could I say?
9881What could he mean by letting slip such a one as that you mention?
9881What do I keep fellows idling in the country for, but to fall in love, and even to marry those whom I would have them marry?
9881What followed this execution?
9881What for a mother?
9881What for an aunt?
9881What for uncles?--Who can have patience with such fellows and fellowesses?
9881What had I to do but to try for a palliation of my confusion, since it served me not?
9881What is that, Sir?
9881What is the conclusion to be drawn from these premises?
9881What is the love of a rakish heart?
9881What likelihood of corrupting a man who has no hope, no ambition?
9881What may not both men and women be brought to do in a mortified state?
9881What mean you, Mr. Lovelace?
9881What means he by it, she asks, yet forego such opportunities as he had?
9881What mind is superior to calamity?
9881What now sayest thou to me, Belford?
9881What politeness can be expected from such a man?
9881What say you, Mr. Lovelace?
9881What sayest thou to the lady, Jack?
9881What signifies wishing, my dear?
9881What will signify expostulations against a ceremony performed?
9881What, my dear, would you clear up?
9881What?--Why will she not,''if once subdued, be always subdued?''
9881When a general must regulate himself by the motions of a watchful adversary, how can he say beforehand what he will, or what he will not, do?
9881When has that been questionable?
9881When we had got in the chariot, and it began to move, he asked me, whether I had any objection to go to Lord M.''s Hertfordshire seat?
9881Whence can this be, but from a likeness in nature?
9881Whence this change, Sir?
9881Whether I chose to go to either of Lord M.''s seats; that of Berks, or that in the county we were in?
9881Whether I chose to have private lodgings procured for me in either of those ladies''neighbourhood, as were once my thoughts?
9881Whither, Sir, do you draw me?--Leave me this moment-- Do you seek to keep me till my return shall grow dangerous or impracticable?
9881Who can avoid hesitating when he thinks of an offence against her?
9881Who has declared that she will not marry me, till she has hopes of my reformation?
9881Who knows what such a man may do?
9881Who will be afraid of a trail for this divine creature?
9881Who will dare to form plots and stratagems against my wife?
9881Who, so unprepared, could seem to be so ready?
9881Whose daughter is she?--And is she not a daughter?
9881Why did you meet him then, chariot and six, horsemen, all prepared by him?
9881Why mention you, my dear, the saving you from mortifications, who have gone off with a man?
9881Why rises it to my throat in such half- choking flutters, when I think of what this removal may do for me?
9881Why said he with a man, instead of with him?
9881Why should I not, when it is as much the desire of my heart, as it is of thine, to prevent mischief?
9881Why should narrowness run away with the praises due to a noble expansion of heart?
9881Why should she hate the man who loves her upon proof?
9881Why this squeamishness then, honest Joseph?
9881Why to Windsor?
9881Why will she defy the power she is absolutely dependent upon?
9881Why will she deny me her company, till she makes me lose my patience, and lay myself open to her resentment?
9881Why will she put me upon looking back?
9881Why will she still wish to my face that she had never left her father''s house?
9881Why would not the dear creature accept of me, when I so sincerely offered myself to her acceptance?
9881Why, Sir, do n''t I neither use ceremony enough with you?
9881Why, is she not here?
9881Why, says he, did I not think of it before?--And snatching my hand, Shall I write, Madam?
9881Why?
9881Will the man you are with part willingly with you?
9881Would I choose to go to London( for a very few days only) in order to furnish myself with clothes?
9881Would she not have me think I have a precious soul, as well as she?
9881Would she not, do you think, my dear, be prevailed upon to have the communication made to her, in confidence?
9881Would you have me visit the owners of the borrowed dresses in their own clothes?
9881Would you stay to be Solmes''s wife?--Can this be your determination at last?
9881Would you thus expose me?--Is this your generosity?
9881Would you, Mr. Lovelace, in earnest, advise me to think of going to London?
9881Yet what stead has either your prudence or your duty stood you in, with people so strangely determined?
9881Yet, in my disapprobation of that, I judge by that event only: for who would have divined it would have been concluded as it did?
9881You would not surely wish, said he, to fall into your brother''s hands by such a violent measure as this?
9881Your advice had great weight with me just then, as well as his reasons, and the consideration of my unhappy situation: But what could I say?
9881Your merits, my dear, but aggravate your fault.--Something of fresh aggravation every hour.--How can any favour be expected?
9881Your poor mother-- but why should I afflict you?
9881Your sufferings then, if you please, Sir?
9881Yourself being judge, I suppose, Sir?
9881[ draw me not thus-- How dare you, Sir?
9881and her sorrow for putting herself out of his reach, that is to say, for meeting me?
9881and if thou pleadest honour, ought not honour to be mutual?
9881and so soon?
9881and warning given of him to the wives, as well as to the daughter of his fellow- citizens?
9881are you so critical then?
9881does she propose to reform me for?
9881for he had the devil of a wife-- Or who?
9881how, that that man kept aloof, as it were, and pursued us not; nor ran back to alarm the house?
9881let me only know whether you intend to leave me; or whether I have only escaped from one confinement to another?
9881methinks thou askest.--Thou, Lovelace, dealest in wonders, yet aimest not at the marvellous!--How did all this come about?
9881of my wishes to prevent mischief?
9881said I.--Know you of any convenient lodgings there?
9881that I had nothing to fear from meeting with parents who so dearly loved me.-- How could I be complaisant, my dear, to such a man as this?
9881thought I,[ but I charge thee, that thou let not any of the sex know my exultation,*] Is it so soon come to this?
9881what had I to do to give him hope that I would personally acquaint him with the reason for my change of mind, if I did change it?
9881yet how, as long as I am situated, can I put them right?
