41730In regard to Baltimore''s work, she says:"How can we ever repay our kind friends in Baltimore for all they have done for us?"
41730Is not Sherman greater?"
41730Is that you?
41730Miss Em, what did Papa do just after the war-- just after Richmond fell?
41730On a lovely May morning, people sat on the Bank piazza asking anxiously:"Where can Mr. Davis be?"
41730On the opposite page, a one- legged negro soldier held out his hand; beneath was:"Franchise?
41730Once he asked:''Have you not had any remuneration for your place?''
41730Or, was it that the fires of adversity brought their charms and virtues into high relief?
41730Others cried:"Is my husband in there?
41730Recognize a nigger?
41730See if there are ten men in it who will volunteer to go with me without question wherever I choose?"
41730Some enemy of the South who had a grudge against Lincoln, too?''
41730Some misguided fanatic?''
41730Stanton wired to know of General Weitzel if he was"acting under authority in giving food supplies to the people of Richmond, and if so, whose?"
41730Suddenly my companion caught my arm, crying:''Is not that the sound of cavalry?''
41730Tell me dat?
41730Tell us, do you know anything about President Davis?"
41730The agent went out and addressed the negroes:"Men, what makes you think you can live without work?
41730The bride asked:"Mrs. Sutherlin, what room did Mr. Davis occupy?"
41730The lovers came to understanding; the girl reproached him:"Why did you not tell me before?"
41730The member sank limp into his seat, asking in awed whisper of his neighbour:"Whut in de worl''is dat?"
41730The officer said,"Are you Alex Stephens?"
41730The prince thinking he was to choose his partner, fixed on Mary Wright, exquisite in poverty''s simple white gown, and asked:"May I lead with her?"
41730The schoolmarm asked:"Why did n''t you black people poison all the whites and get your freedom that way?
41730This follows:"How_ can_ I pray for the President of the United States?
41730Was the system altogether wrong that developed such characters?
41730Weitzel:"Do you desire that I should order this form of prayer in Episcopal, Hebrew, Roman Catholic, and other churches where they have a liturgy?"
41730Were they here before God to abjure their own?
41730Were they to utter prayer that was mockery?
41730What can I do for her?
41730What could we do?"
41730What did he do to you?"
41730What did he say?
41730What happened to my papa then?"
41730What is the conclusion if we judge the white man''s future by his past?
41730What right had they there?
41730What she suffered during the hours of his political successes, who can tell?
41730What would you advise?"
41730What''s dat?"
41730When General Weitzel directed him to issue the passes for the returning legislators, he inquired:"Have you the President''s written order for this?"
41730When Judge Thomas suggested that he establish Governor Pierpont here, Mr. Lincoln asked straightway,''Where is Extra Billy?''
41730When they came to where the cabin had stood, Mr. M. exclaimed:"Why, what does this mean?
41730When will a Southerner be President of the United States?
41730Who gwi''spute de Book?"
41730Who is there to pay me for the few things I know how to do?
41730Why, whut you gwi do wid de po''delegate dat ain''got no expenses uh bode an''washin''?
41730Why?"
41730With cold chills running down her spine, Sue asked,"_ What_ are they?"
41730Would they have done so if guilty?"
41730You would not endanger the life of the illustrious Underwood, would you?"
41730did you know how hard a command you laid upon us when you said,''Pray for your enemies?''"
41730he exclaimed,"Mrs. Lee in danger?
41730said Pat,"an''what is it that you''re thryin''to do?"
41730was pronounced of the new official; then the retired claimed sympathy:"Whut he done?"
41730where is he?''
41730with such a swing?"
37244Ai n''t gone far, I reckon; did n''t take no rations, did he?
37244And do you mean to tell me, Frank Amory, that you could be led into a snare by such a transparent piece of rascality as that?
37244And has Miss Carrington heard of our Bella?
37244And that was the service your people rendered him, was it? 37244 And we may look for two weddings in the--th Cavalry, then?"
37244And what now?
37244And you, little lady? 37244 And_ why_ should she be bright as a button this afternoon?"
37244Are there no trains coming south, not even freight?
37244At the corner? 37244 Brandon, did you notice anything wrong with Amory to- night?"
37244But did n''t you go down towards the lake,--to the right hand, I mean?
37244But do you suppose that General Emory will stand by and allow such a thing to go on under his very nose?
37244But it''s due how soon?
37244But suppose they get wind of it and call upon him to station his men to meet the move?
37244But what good would that have done? 37244 But wo n''t this do?"
37244Ca n''t you understand? 37244 Can you come down to the office, sir?
37244Can you spare me a moment?
37244Could you see nothing of their faces?
37244Did the lieutenant appear to be under any strong excitement?
37244Did you ever see anything prettier?
37244Did you see him?
37244Did you see the lieutenant?
37244Did you see-- did you happen to hear of any letter for me at Sandbrook before you came away? 37244 Do Yankees habitually say''I reckon''?"
37244Do you mean that he has been at other mischief than this mysterious attempt at Amory?
37244Got to New Orleans all right?
37244Had Amory any money, do you know?
37244Harrod, what is it?
37244Have we time to send a despatch to New Orleans?
37244Have you been long in the South?
37244Have you heard anything further?
37244Have you told your mother of this misunderstanding?
37244He ai n''t got back, has he? 37244 He was excited, perhaps upset, at seeing Turpin where he was; but why do you ask?"
37244How is that, Paulie?
37244How long ago?
37244How much do you claim, Smith?
37244How should I know?
37244How''s Vinton?
37244I knew that, of course; but why should that bring Peyton here?
37244I suppose you see poor Turpin''s woe?
37244I? 37244 Is n''t she exquisite?"
37244Major Vinton, say you? 37244 May I take your horse, Billy?"
37244Money, sir? 37244 No major, then?"
37244No man passed Gaston''s on horseback, I can swear to that; and if he came at all as far as the bridge, why did n''t he come the rest of the way? 37244 No; where is he?"
37244Now, my lad,thought I,"what have you done to put your foot in it?"
37244Oh, Mr. Turpin, would you please bring me our lunch- basket?
37244Pauline, did the major tell you in his letter?
37244Shall I pour for you?
37244Shall I read it?
37244Sheep, old man, how are you?
37244Tell me what?
37244That coffee ready?
37244That freight gone by yet, Billy?
37244That their orders had come?
37244The major says I may go,he spoke blithely;"but is not Amory coming?"
37244Then it took half an hour to buy half a dozen oranges of that old Dago at the fruit- stand, did it? 37244 Then where''d he go to?"
37244They? 37244 To the right?
37244Train coming?
37244Well, if all should be quiet to- morrow, come and dine with us at Moreau''s at six, will you?
37244Whar am I most like to catch the boys by dinner- time?
37244Whar''s he gone to?
37244What answer did you give him?
37244What boat will he be looking at? 37244 What chance by going to Grand Junction?"
37244What did Bella say?
37244What do you think it is?
37244What has been the matter, orderly?
37244What have you seen?
37244What is it all, colonel?
37244What is it?
37244What on earth could she find to do down on Royal Street for nearly half an hour without going out of sight?
37244What on earth could take the regiment to Dakota?
37244What other places are there near here that would be open now, Gaston?
37244What say you, Brandon? 37244 What''s up now?"
37244What?
37244When are you coming to see us?
37244When did you come? 37244 Where is Major Vinton, father?"
37244Where''s that flask of yours?
37244Which way did he go?
37244Which way did they go?
37244Who comes there?
37244Who is Major Vinton?
37244Why did you not make him pay you yesterday?
37244Why not with the Summers''at Colonel Newhall''s place? 37244 Why should he hate me?"
37244Why so?
37244Why so?
37244Why, Sheep, did you know Colonel Summers and Miss Carrington?
37244Wo n''t you come in?
37244Would you like to look in at your Legislature?
37244Ye- e- es?
37244Yes; but had n''t we better wait until we get back on Canal Street before lighting them? 37244 Yesterday?"
37244You can go?
37244You mean he''s gone to the left-- past here?
37244You saw Major Vinton?
37244You say you thought he looked ill?
37244_ Do_ you understand? 37244 _ Find_ him?
37244_ How_ did you know?
37244_ You_ sent those violets of course, Miss Summers?
37244''Are you responsible for this gentleman''s language?''
37244A gurgle and a long- drawn"ah- h- h"followed, then,--"Got a cigar?"
37244A moment''s silence, then,--"Well,_ why_ should she not want to come and meet the judge?"
37244Agent,"broke in Harrod, impatiently;"when are they due?"
37244Ah, Miss Kitty, you must, indeed, be very young, thought I, and so asked,--"Have you been long in the South since the war, Miss Carrington?"
37244Ai n''t we, gen''lemen?"
37244All that snoring was a counterfeit for_ my_ benefit, was it?
37244Almost the first question was,"Can we not move Frank over with me?"
37244Amory?"
37244And now, how can I dispel your perplexity?
37244Anything wrong?"
37244Are you already falling into the cavalry groove?
37244Are you armed?"
37244Are you aware that you have not even remarked upon the beauty of the weather this afternoon?"
37244Are you sure he is ill?
37244Are you sure you wrote plain directions?"
37244At last there came a bubble of soft, silvery laughter and the mischievous inquiry,--"And how should a lady answer?
37244Brandon?"
37244Brandon?"
37244Brandon?"
37244Brandon?"
37244But how could I face Kitty Carrington with that undelivered note?
37244But just about eleven a man came in, who looked closely at me, said''Captain Amory?''
37244But where was Amory?
37244But, Brandon, had not I better go with you?
37244Can I serve you in any way?"
37244Can he have been seized as Vinton was?"
37244Can you send this to him?"
37244Can you spare him that long?"
37244Can you suggest any way of helping me?
37244Colonel, you''re not going to take Miss Summers that way?"
37244Could he give any clue by which we could find them?
37244Could it be that the order had already come?
37244Could it have been from Mr. Parker?
37244Could you not even resent_ that_, Kitty Carrington?
37244Did he go back with the battalion?"
37244Did you feel his hand?"
37244Did you note anything out of the way?"
37244Did you notice his eyes, his color?
37244Do n''t you remember father''s anxiety at Sandbrook before we came away?
37244Do you suppose he knew his way back by Washington Avenue, and had turned to the left instead of this way?"
37244Do you think Amory can see us this evening and tell us what he knows of this affair?"
37244Do you think he is well?"
37244Do you want to see him?"
37244Does that young officer owe you any money?"
37244Does_ that_ look as though I thought them susceptible?
37244Had he hoped to reserve that happiness to himself; or was there some deeper reason to account for his avoidance of her?
37244Had he seen or heard anything of Mr. Amory?
37244Has that young cub Peyton been at the bottom of this?"
37244Have you any idea where he is to- day, or who the other man is?"
37244He is awfully proud, is n''t he, Paulie?"
37244How did he get back?
37244How do you do, Miss Carrington?"
37244How do you suppose you were so fortunate as to escape missing him and the other blackguard?
37244How is he to- day?"
37244How soon can you get through your talk with father?"
37244How soon must we start?
37244How was he to know where the lake lay?"
37244How was he to know?"
37244How-- Miss Grayson, for instance?"
37244I was nothing to her, why should she be such a torment to me?
37244If C. K., what did it stand for?
37244If Mars were really smitten with my fascinating niece, how far had it gone?
37244If he should come here, get him into your room and make him lie down, will you?"
37244If he''s lied to me again, I''ll----Say,_ is_ he back?"
37244If so, what did it mean?
37244Is she pretty?
37244It was at the tip of my tongue to make some genial, off- hand, matter- of- fact inquiry, such as"Heard from Bella, lately?"
37244Kitty started from her dream; flashed one quick glance at me, as she answered,--"Mrs. Amory?
37244May I ask where your mother is living now?"
37244May I offer you a toddy?
37244Mr. Brandon, can you make_ any_ conjecture as to the nature of his illness?"
37244Now that''s very unusual in a young man under the circumstances, is n''t it?
37244Now the question that was agitating my mind was, how was Mars to get out of that entanglement if it really existed?
37244Now, Uncle Georgy, is n''t that circumlocution itself?
37244Now, had Parker heard it coming?
37244Now, supposing you are released to- night, how soon can you find him?"
37244Now, was Frank Amory a victim in good earnest, or only a narrow escape from being one?
37244Now, what could have brought him here, and what connection had his wanderings with Peyton''s?
37244Now, what in the world was I to do?
37244Now, what is it?
37244Now, what on earth could I do?
37244Oh, Paulie,_ what_ has happened?"
37244Peyton?"
37244Presently I met Colonel Newhall, and his first question was,--"How is Vinton to- night?"
37244Shall I ever forget that almost breathless ride?
37244Shall I send, sir?"
37244Shall we try it?"
37244That charming little friend of Major Vinton''s?
37244That whistle_ must_ have been a signal of some kind, and, if so, what did it portend?
37244Then I suppose I, too, am horribly at fault,"said I, laughing,"for I''ve done pretty much the same thing?"
37244There could be no doubt of the situation, for had we not gathered in honor of the major and his gallant young adjutant?
37244There they were, two gracefully intertwining letters; a"C"and a"K."Now was it C. K. or K. C.?
37244There was so much anxiety in Amory''s face that it suddenly occurred to me to ask,"Your mother is not ill, I hope?
37244Turpin?"
37244Vinton might be found down along the levee, but what good would that do?
37244Was any sudden move probable?
37244Was he"miffed"because he had found Turpin in happy_ tête- à  -tête_ with her?
37244Was it from that source he now looked for another?
37244Was it possible that he thought I might be some staff- officer?
37244Was there_ ever_ such a colossal ass?
37244Were we not there to break bread once more before parting,--to wish them_ bon voyage_ with our stirrup- cups?
37244Were you already so abject that a newly- won lover dare tell you that after his horses were seen to he would look after you?
37244Were you ill then?"
37244What better chance do you want?''
37244What could I ever have said to give you such an impression?
37244What could he mean by saying that he was glad Vinton had secured his leave of absence?
37244What could we prove?
37244What do you know?
37244What do you suppose is wrong?"
37244What do you think?"
37244What had he been doing to set the marshal on his track?"
37244What has taken all the color from those round, velvety cheeks?
37244What is this?"
37244What man, raised in a large family of sisters, does n''t grow up as I was raised,--a tease?
37244What more natural, therefore, than that Mr. Amory should turn to her for conversation and entertainment on his arrival?
37244What was there about the whole proceeding to upset any one''s equanimity?
37244What would you want him secured for now that we have Amory safe and warned against him in the future?
37244What young girl was there to whom he was devoted?
37244What_ could_ be wrong with him?
37244What_ will_ Major Vinton say?"
37244Where can we put her?
37244Where could Amory have gone?
37244Where did he go?
37244Where had I seen that superscription before?
37244Where have they gone?"
37244Where was he, and how had he escaped the trap?
37244Who could be there?
37244Who that ever saw it could forget it?
37244Who was it who first said that the gist of a woman''s letter would always be found in the postscript?
37244Who-- who else came?"
37244Why did n''t I wear my hat?"
37244Why did n''t you say turn to the right instead of south?
37244Why did they leap back as you came out?"
37244Why need I apologize further?
37244Why should Kitty look ill at ease, nervous, distressed?
37244Why should Mars be so unusually excited and flighty?
37244Why should there be any cause for embarrassment?
37244Why, Uncle George,_ how_ should I know whether they are susceptible or not?
37244Why?"
37244Will you come into father''s library and let me explain?"
37244Would I join them?
37244Would I see them?
37244Would Monsieur step up to the room and wait their coming?
37244Would he show me to Lieutenant Amory''s room?
37244Would you be willing to tell me how she came to know anything about Bella Grayson?"
37244Yet you know they do not sail until to- morrow, do you not?"
37244You have heard from her?"
37244You see how it is, do n''t you?"
37244You see there is abundant room, little lady, so why not come?"
37244You would not care to have the thing made public, would you?"
37244You_ will_ be true to me, as, God knows, I will be to you?"
37244_ Did n''t_ you, then?"
37244_ Sure_ you understand?"
37244a special with troops, do you mean?"
37244and what he said about its perhaps being too late for any effort on his part?
37244had I seen him?
37244he muttered; then turned suddenly to me:"Mr. Brandon, when we get back to Gaston''s let me have your hat, will you?
37244learning that unwritten creed that puts the care of his mount as the corner- stone of a trooper''s temple?
37244little girl, what is it that has made those soft eyes so heavy, so sad?
37244of course that is the first question; is she-- anything, everything, in fact?
37244or, do you-- is it possible that you mean-- you too are interested in her?
37244what note or message will you intrust to me?"
37244what_ could_ such an old idiot do?
37244when did you get here?"
37244you, Brandon?
26240A common-- stump- tailed-- cur- dog?
26240A nigger dog? 26240 A vision?
26240About what time do you think your master, Colonel Cameron, will honour us with his presence?
26240Afraid they''ll nab me for something?
26240Ah, but will it be? 26240 Ai n''t I done tole you''bout runnin''away?"
26240Ai n''t I er nigger?
26240Always?
26240Am I right?
26240And Gus, the young scamp we used to own; you have n''t forgotten him? 26240 And by whose authority are you a judge?"
26240And did you learn to find all these birds''nests by yourself?
26240And do the rank and file know the Black Pope at the head of the order?
26240And he in love with all?
26240And how will you master and control these ten great Southern States?
26240And my dogs?
26240And my sweetheart, Marion Lenoir?
26240And now, my dear, what must I do to get the passes?
26240And the President paused amid a thousand cares to write that letter to a broken- hearted woman?
26240And what did he say?
26240And what is your message for the South?
26240And why did you nail up the doors of that Presbyterian church?
26240And why, pray?
26240And why?
26240And you are the dear girl who has been playing and singing for my boy, a wounded stranger here alone among his foes?
26240And you have not told me your name?
26240And you know the way?
26240And you the sheriff of this county trotted along in front to make the way smooth for your prisoner?
26240And you think of going back to farming?
26240And you think the South is ready for this wild vision?
26240And you think we will specially enjoy that?
26240And you will help our people lift this curse?
26240And you wo n''t be disappointed in my simple ideal that finds its all within a home?
26240And you''ll never keep a secret from me, dear?
26240And your ideal of life?
26240Are n''t you ashamed of yourself to flirt with me, with one foot in the grave?
26240Are we agreed, gentlemen?
26240Are you a fiend?
26240Are you dead again?
26240Are you the sheriff of this county?
26240Are your father''s poems published?
26240At the price of racial life? 26240 But defeat?"
26240But how did the vote fail-- it was all fixed before the roll- call?
26240But if everything else fail, and this creeping horror becomes a fact-- then what?
26240But where did you run up against hypnotism? 26240 But will your plans work?
26240Ca n''t you see that your so- called States are now but conquered provinces? 26240 Can you blame us for loving such a spot?"
26240Can you help me, dear?
26240Can you stand any more?
26240Could I see the President?
26240Defeat?
26240Des lak any white man?
26240Did Stanton say that I was a fool?
26240Did he dare to try?
26240Did he make love to you?
26240Did you see the little angel who has been playing and singing for me? 26240 Did you study medicine abroad?"
26240Do n''t wish to be protected, sheltered, and cared for?
26240Do you find much use for your powers of hypnosis?
26240Do you know what''s written on this paper, Uncle Aleck?
26240Do you know, my boy, that you have the heritage of royal blood? 26240 Do you know,"he said earnestly,"that you are the funniest, most charming girl I ever met?"
26240Do you love me very much?
26240Do you not fear my betrayal of your secret?
26240Do you think that man Stanton would dare defy the President?
26240Does Lynch?
26240Does he make love to every pretty girl?
26240Ef yer doan''b''long ter no s''iety,said Aleck with judicial deliberation,"what is you?"
26240En what''s de fee fer dat?
26240En will the Lawd''s messengers come wid me right now to de bend er de creek whar I done pick out my forty acres?
26240En yer ai n''t er No''f Ca''liny gemmen, is yer-- yer ai n''t er member er de''Red Strings?''
26240En yer pay no''tenshun ter de orders I sent yer ter jine de League?
26240Excuse-- me-- for-- asking-- but am I alive?
26240For what purpose, sir?
26240For what?
26240Forty acres and a mule for every black man-- why was I ever born white? 26240 Friends of yours?"
26240Got yer deed, is yer, ter stop me payin''my missy her rent fum de lan''my chillun wucks? 26240 Has Aunt Cindy come yet?"
26240Have I, too, sinned and come short?
26240Have n''t you heard what happened to his Honour last night?
26240Have we not had enough bloodshed? 26240 Have you been instructed to act under my orders?"
26240Have you let him see a preacher before putting him through?
26240Have you ordered a barber to shave this man''s head?
26240He is very popular in Piedmont?
26240Honest Injun, here on the sacred altar of the princess?
26240How could a Southerner discover this, if your own children did n''t know it?
26240How dare you strike that man, you devil?
26240How did you escape so soon?
26240How did you rescue him?
26240How do I feel?
26240How do you account for such powers?
26240How ole is you?
26240How on earth did you meet him?
26240How''s my little sis?
26240I suppose you issued an order silencing him from the ministry?
26240I thought the Union League a patriotic and social organization?
26240I thought you favoured the execution of the leaders of the rebellion?
26240I wonder if you know how I love you? 26240 I wonder if you know how important?"
26240I wonder whose will be the lucky name some day within it?
26240If I have n''t suffered in this war, who has?
26240If the negro were not here would we allow him to land?
26240In either event I go to a warmer climate, eh, doctor?
26240Is dat de deed?
26240Is n''t she God''s message to me and to the world?
26240Is n''t she at home?
26240Is n''t that enough?
26240Is n''t your aunt, Mrs. Farnham, the president of a club?
26240Is not the North equally responsible for slavery? 26240 Is that all?"
26240Is that the theatre?
26240Is that the way you escort prisoners before a court?
26240Is there no other way? 26240 Is yer er member er de Union League?"
26240Is you voted to- day?
26240Jeannie, you''re making an idol of her----"Why not? 26240 K. K. K.""Are you an officer of the Union League?"
26240Let''s see some of the goods, Aleck-- are they first class?
26240Look here, Ben Cameron, have you another girl somewhere you''re flirting with?
26240Look here, Stoneman; have you some deep personal motive in this vengeance on the South? 26240 Love your enemies?"
26240May I help you?
26240May I write it out in full-- Margaret Cameron-- Philip Stoneman?
26240May I?
26240Mr. Alexander Lenoir, sah-- is I yo''uncle, nigger?
26240Negro suffrage do n''t matter?
26240Nonsense, father-- you are possessed by an idea which has become an insane mania----"Will you respect my wishes?
26240Now what kind of a dog did I say you are?
26240Now, did n''t I tell you that you could n''t fool me? 26240 Ob cose, Dr. Cammun, you say nuffin''bout what I gwine tell you?"
26240Old Aleck still at home and getting drunk as usual?
26240Perhaps you will present my card, then-- say that I am at his service, and let him appoint the time at which I shall return?
26240Shall I bring the boys?
26240Sold for taxes?
26240Suppose Pickett had charged one hour earlier at Gettysburg? 26240 The preacher wo n''t be here?"
26240Then there''s hope for me?
26240Then why not begin at home this vision, and give the stricken South a moment to rise?
26240Then you do n''t believe this twaddle about equality?
26240Then you will give me one afternoon for a sail on the river to say good- bye and thank you for what you have done for me and mine?
26240Then you will write the President a letter asking that they be allowed to see Doctor Cameron?
26240Then you''ll fight and go back to her with me?
26240Then, how did you know I am a Southerner?
26240They say the rat labels were in a majority in this precinct-- how was that?
26240To the theatre?
26240Tryin''ter vote, is yer?
26240Well, I''m glad of that-- my mare all right?
26240Well, Mrs. Cameron, what did you think of the President?
26240Well, my man, what''s the trouble? 26240 Well, now, then, is this me, or is it not me, or has a cannon shot me, or has the devil got me?"
26240Well, upon my soul,said Ben, taking a deep breath and looking at Elsie,"he''s the whole thing, is n''t he?"
26240Well?
26240What ail it?
26240What ails my ideal?
26240What are you doing to him?
26240What can we do, my darling?
26240What cote? 26240 What did he say to you?"
26240What did he say?
26240What did they say to you?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you see?
26240What do you think of it, Colonel Cameron?
26240What does it mean?
26240What does it mean?
26240What does it sound like?
26240What does that mean?
26240What else?
26240What happened there yesterday?
26240What is it, honey?
26240What is it, sir?
26240What is it?
26240What is the latest news?
26240What must I call him? 26240 What on earth are you going to do, sir?"
26240What right had you under the Constitution to declare war against a''sovereign''State? 26240 What shall I play?"
26240What then?
26240What will we do if Stanton arrests you one of these fine days?
26240What will you give me if I tease you about Margaret right before her?
26240What you doin''here, sah?
26240What''s that?
26240What''s the matter in there?
26240What''s the use of my expressing an opinion when you have already settled it?
26240What?
26240When are you going?
26240Where is Grant?
26240Where is Margaret?
26240Where is Stanton?
26240Where is he?
26240Where on earth did you find them?
26240Who are you?
26240Who said I was defeated? 26240 Who said I was going to die?"
26240Who said my lover was dumb?
26240Who''yer talkin to, sah? 26240 Why are such men intrusted with power?"
26240Why did n''t you walk beside him?
26240Why is it, sweetheart, that a girl will persist in admiring brass buttons?
26240Why not out with it?
26240Why should I be distressed for one, an enemy, among these thousands who have fallen?
26240Why so serious to- night?
26240Why, did n''t you know that my parents were Virginians, and that I was born in Kentucky?
26240Why, what''s all this, Aleck?
26240Why?
26240Why?
26240Will he live?
26240Will it be very difficult to reach the President?
26240Will the President be there, Captain?
26240Will you come to the hotel before they arrive?
26240Will you follow me while I lead you through this town, to show them their chief has fallen, or will you force me to drag you?
26240Will you grant my prayer?
26240Will you hear the prayer of a broken- hearted mother of the South, who has lost four sons in General Lee''s army?
26240Will you join us now, sir? 26240 Will you never breathe it to a soul if I do?"
26240Will you tell?
26240Will you vote?
26240With apologies to the dogs----"Apologies to the dogs----"And why does your master honour the kennel with his presence to- day?
26240With thousands of your own people disfranchised?
26240Wo n''t you give this all up for my sake?
26240Would you consider an offer of twenty dollars an acre?
26240Would you have let him?
26240Yet may we not train him?
26240You are determined to oppose negro suffrage?
26240You are initiating the negroes into the League and teaching them the new catechism?
26240You could have told that story only to the one man whom you love-- is it not true?
26240You do n''t mean it?
26240You doan b''long ter no s''iety, what yer git in dat line ter vote for?
26240You have just come from the Camerons?
26240You hear''bout de great sassieties de Gubment''s fomentin''in dis country?
26240You refuse to heed the wishes of Congress?
26240You remember the young man I pardoned for a similar offence in''62, about which Stanton made such a fuss?
26240You will let me kiss you? 26240 You will let me see him and thank him the moment he comes?"
26240You will not forget to tell him for me?
26240You wo n''t mind if I give you a few lessons in history, will you?
26240You''ll tell me all your love affairs?
26240You_ do n''t_ approve of such injustice?
26240Your decision is unalterable?
26240Your horse is a good one, my child?
26240Your land, Uncle Aleck? 26240 _ Almost_ to a man?"
26240A battle with United States troops now might mean ruin for the South----""But you will save him?"
26240Aleck recovered his dignity and demanded angrily:"Does yer belong ter de Heroes ob Americky?"
26240And yet you press this crime upon a brave and generous foe?"
26240Any further ecclesiastical orders?"
26240Are our skirts free?
26240Are the Night Hawks ready to submit their evidence?"
26240Are there any others?"
26240Are you given to visions?"
26240As the old Commoner hobbled through the door, his crooked cane thumping the marble floor, Sumner seized and pressed his hand:"How did you do it?"
26240Blanched with horror, the mother sprang before Marion with a shivering cry:"What do you want?"
26240But may it not all come out right in the end?
26240By what authority have you appointed military governors in the''sovereign''States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana?
26240Can Barbarism go Further?"
26240Can a man keep his face straight in such a world?
26240Can any one undo this pardon now?"
26240Can he control Stanton?
26240Can human flesh endure it?
26240Can we assimilate the negro?
26240Can you conceive the desolation of_ my_ heart?
26240Can you help me?"
26240Could he win her?
26240Could it be possible they had ventured too near the brink and fallen over?
26240Could negro blood degrade such stock?
26240Dat ole army cote?"
26240Did he aim to make this woman the arbiter of its social life, and her ethics the limit of its moral laws?
26240Did you say--_Phil_?"
26240Did you say_ Marse_ Ben?
26240Do you know Mr. Johnson?
26240Do you own a store?"
26240Dr. Cameron turned pale, and trembling with excitement, asked his friend:"Can that man pass such measures, and the Governor sign them?"
26240Elsie saw the look of helpless appeal in the mother''s face and hurried forward to meet her:"Is this Mrs. Cameron, of South Carolina?"
26240Had you noticed it, Margaret?"
26240Has not the South lost all?
26240Have not the Southern people paid the full penalty of all the crimes of war?
26240Have you been sent to place these irons on me?"
26240Hawk, as Dundreary, was speaking his lines and looking directly at the President instead of at the audience:"Society, eh?
26240He can not pretend that these shackles are needed to hold a weak unarmed man in prison, guarded by two hundred soldiers?"
26240He gasped for breath, sank into his seat, looked around, and said:"Will you close the door?"
26240He sank exhausted in his chair, and, extending his hand in an eloquent gesture, continued:"Surely, surely, sir, the people of the North are not mad?
26240He took Ben''s place just before the guards were exchanged----""Phil!--Phil?"
26240His old master transfixed him with his eyes, and in a voice, whose tones gripped him by the throat, said:"How dare you?"
26240His very presence before them an open defiance of love and life and death, would not his word ring omnipotent when the verdict was rendered?
26240How I''ve dreamed of your future?
26240How can a human being stand it?
26240How can a man live in this world and keep his face straight?"
26240How do we account for sleep and dreams, or second sight, or the day dreams which we call visions?"
26240How do you like it?"
26240How long, O Lord?
26240I never saw a female idiot in my life-- did you?"
26240I thought this a new thing under the sun?"
26240I wish to take you to the theatre to- night, if you will go?"
26240In your soul of souls you do n''t believe in the equality of man if the man under comparison be a negro?"
26240Instinctively he stopped, surveyed the man from head to foot and asked:"What''s the trouble?"
26240Is civilization a patent cloak with which law- tinkers can wrap an animal and make him a king?"
26240Is dat de straight ticket?"
26240Is n''t he handsome?
26240Is n''t it the distant beat of horses''hoofs?"
26240Is not God''s vengeance enough?
26240Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as charged in this article?"
26240Is you er hero?"
26240It was Papa''s study just as he left it, with his papers scattered on the desk, the books and pictures that he loved-- you wo n''t mind?"
26240May I go?"
26240May I, again?"
26240May not the black man speedily emerge?
26240McAllister?"
26240Might not an ape improve it?
26240Must I say''Your Excellency?''"
26240Must we wait in line?"
26240No?
26240Now that they have taken me at my word, shall I betray them by an ignoble revenge?
26240Now that we have won, and established for all time its unity, shall we stultify ourselves by declaring we were wrong?
26240Now, will you go?"
26240On the brink of the precipice, the mother trembled, paused, drew back, and gasped:"Are you not afraid, my dear?"
26240Our party has lost its first President, but gained a god-- why mourn?"
26240Over the solemn trembling silence the voice of the Chief Justice rang:"Senator Ross, how say you?
26240Phil looked at the freshly cut circle and laughed:"I wonder if Marion or her mother did that?"
26240President?"
26240Shall they return to rule?"
26240She attempted to rise, and cried in rage:"How dare you, black brutes?"
26240Stanton?"
26240Stoneman snorted in disgust:"Will you ask the Mayor to call to see me at once?"
26240Stoneman''s face was a thundercloud as he scrambled to his feet and glared at Aleck:"_ Marse_ Ben?
26240Suppose the_ Monitor_ had arrived one hour later at Hampton Roads?
26240Tell him to hold five hundred men ready for action in the woods by the river and the rest in reserve two miles out of town----""May I go with her?"
26240That North Carolina and other waste territories of the United States are unfit to associate with civilized communities?"
26240The Lieutenant approached and remonstrated:"Why compel me to add the indignity of personal violence?
26240The doctor-- has-- not-- concealed-- his-- true-- condition-- from-- me?"
26240The election judge straightened himself up with great dignity:"What wuz de rapscallion doin''?"
26240They began to cry, and he said with a smile:"Come now-- do you love me?"
26240To blockade a port?
26240To create the State of West Virginia by the consent of two states, one of which was dead, and the other one of which lived in Ohio?
26240To declare slaves free?
26240To invade one for coercion?
26240To suspend the writ of_ habeas corpus_?
26240Turning to Dr. Cameron, he asked:"Why should they put a brute like this in charge of the poor?"
26240Was Sherman''s march a picnic?
26240Was he too late?
26240Was his the mysterious arm back of Stanton?
26240Was she cold and incapable of love?
26240We can yet appeal to the conscience and the brain of our brethren of a common race?"
26240Were they not the children of her soul in that larger, finer world of which she had dreamed and sung?
26240Were you there?"
26240What could it mean?
26240What do you know against him?"
26240What does your lover think of it all?
26240What else matters?
26240What have I done?"
26240What is it?"
26240What more do you want?"
26240What shall I do?"
26240What ud yer do widout er man lak me enjued wid de sperit en de power ter splain tings?"
26240What will happen in the South?
26240What''s that?"
26240When did you ever know me to deny my help to a weak man or woman in distress?"
26240When did you get it?"
26240Whence came this miracle of influence about him, this gift of intimacy?
26240Who knows?
26240Who''s he?"
26240Why beat your wings against the thing that is and must be?
26240Why should she give them up now for brutal politics?
26240Why trim the hedge and lie about it?
26240Will you be kind enough to explain to this court what has happened to you lately to so miraculously change your manners?"
26240Would Congress follow the lead of the President or challenge him to mortal combat?
26240Would Grant, the Commanding General of the Army, dare protest?
26240Would not his name be a terror for every man and woman born under Southern skies?
26240Would the Southerners be allowed to enter?
26240Yet-- would he dare?
26240You did n''t refuse Henry Grier because you loved Ben Cameron-- now, did you?"
26240You do n''t approve of such things, I know?"
26240You do n''t mind black cats, do you?"
26240You do n''t mind jay- birds, do you?"
26240You know Margaret, too, do n''t you?"
26240You met him in Washington, did n''t you?"
26240You understand?"
26240You wo n''t let anybody hurt him?"
26240Your perfect trust to- night is the sweetest revelation that can come to a woman''s soul and yet it brings to me unspeakable pain----""For what?"
26240and from what secret cave will this whirlwind come?"
26240said Ben;"if you ca n''t ratify with a rat, I''d like to know why?"
26240when they realize its meaning, whose arm will be strong enough to hold them?"
41857A hundred dollars,mockingly repeated Clarissa,"How much money has yu had sence de belyun dun fell?"
41857Ah no; not mine, but yours, I beg, and please accompany the chords with your own sweet voice, will you not?
41857And Aleck, what is he doing?
41857And could you respect me if I were?
41857And have you really enjoyed the time?
41857And now tell me who made you?
41857And pray who told you so?
41857And were you confidential toward this man?
41857And what upon the face of the earth have they not claimed?
41857And will you not give me a kiss now in the presence of your old servant?
41857And you are of opinion that it would not be treasonable to oppose the policy of the government in respect to its acts of reconstruction?
41857And you are sure your committee will act upon suggestions from me?
41857Are you guilty or not guilty of the felony and murder with which you stand charged?
41857Are you quite sure of your premises?
41857Assuredly sir,she replied"if you will give me your word upon honor, that you never shot our poor boys in the battle; now did you?"
41857Belliun?
41857But Uncle Ned,enquired Alice,"would you have me as your friend, a poor lonely girl to remain at Ingleside without protection?
41857But am I really in love?
41857But what avail,said he as he leaned heavily upon his staff,"are arguments and protests?
41857But where are my papers?
41857But will you permit me first to ask after your health and that of your family? 41857 By the way Colonel,"continued the Governor,"did you have an elegant gentleman and his niece to call upon you a few days ago?
41857Can I speak to you sir?
41857Clarissa,the young lady asked as she approached her,"what do you suppose the judge thought of us this morning and of our maid of all work?"
41857Dar now Hannah, what I tole yu, you sees whar my fafe is, do n''t yu?
41857Dares where yu interests me Ned; what is agwine ter cum of me und yu sho nuff? 41857 Dats a mity heep ob promisin, white man,"replied the negro suspiciously,"How menny shurrufs is yer agwine to hab in dis county?"

41857Dear, dear, dear, shall I give entirely up?
41857Dere is de shuriff, he fit in de war, jess lak Mars Jon dun, and whars dat man now? 41857 Did I not see you, sir, when we were re- crossing the Potomac on our mad flight from Gettysburg at the lower ford?"
41857Did yer heer dat racket Mars Jon? 41857 Do n''t de Scriptur sez how dat ef yu he s fafe, ef yu he s fafe,"he repeated with emphasis,"you can tote away mountains, tell me dat?"
41857Do n''t de scriptur say how dat a passel ob horgs broke er loose outen de gap und run down er hill und choked up de sea? 41857 Do n''t de scriptur say how dat whot is ergwine ter cum is ergwine ter cum?
41857Do n''t you see, Uncle Ned,Alice said as she looked up into the old negro''s black face,"how good the Lord is to us?
41857Do n''t yu heer me axes yu who s yu? 41857 Do n''t yu heer me axing you Ned?"
41857Do n''t, hey?
41857Do you know the character of this old negro?
41857Do you know, sir,replied Judge Livingstone,"that there is a side to this ever- shifting panorama that challenges my profoundest sympathy?
41857Does yer mean it pine blank, mister?
41857Dos yer want ther cussed niggers drounded?
41857Duz yu see dat fodder foot, und duz yu see dat shuck foot? 41857 Duz yu speck me to slew frum wun eend to the tuther lak a skeeter hork?

41857Hi there Aunt Hannah, what ails you?

41857I am sorry,exclaimed Alice,"Is the cat quite dead, Clarissa?"
41857I do not wish to give you the key, madam,again replied the girl,"What is your business upon my father''s premises unbidden?"
41857I have endeavored to discharge my duty, and how could I do this, sir, in this country without using the scourge? 41857 I ken nae ane in this puir auld world but you; And why should I dearie?
41857I presume, sir,said the stranger,"that you can not conscientiously support the reconstruction measures of Congress and the president?"
41857I presume,said Judge Bonham,"that you have seen southern character in all of its transformations in your courts?"
41857I wonder what mars judge do mean?

41857Now that you love me so dearly,continued Alice,"will you not take a little nourishment, for my sake?"
41857Now then sir, how do you propose to proceed in this business?
41857Now, my dear sir, you greatly interest me; may I inquire your rank in the Confederate army?
41857Oh Lordy, Mr. jedge, what has I dun und dun?

41857Whot sort er elements did yer say, missis?
41857Why certainly,the judge replied with a degree of impatience"Do you suppose I have come out of the low grounds?"
41857Why prepare these watery sepulchres for the freedmen whose hopes have been built upon their delusive pledges? 41857 Why, certainly, Joshua; what more can I do for you?"
41857Why, certainly; what is it Ned?
41857Why, my dear sir, had you forgotten that we were deputized to visit the authorities in Washington at the meeting presided over by Judge Bonham?
41857Why, that man?
41857Why, where have you been, Jemima, all these months, you ai n''t heard it? 41857 Why, who can they be but the negroes?"
41857Will her prince never come, into whose eyes she can see mirrored her own self, her soul in its beauty, love and happiness?
41857Will you allow me to ask, my dear sir, do you recall those events with any degree of pleasure?
41857Will you give me the key to the office Miss?
41857Will you give me the key to the office, Miss?
41857Will you not go with me and give such assistance as you can?
41857Will you not let me go on?
41857Will you oblige me at the piano, Miss Seymour?
41857Willie,she asked"What do you call that gentleman who lives in that fine house over the way?"
41857Without deigning a reply Col. Seymour enquired of Clarissa what the shouting and halloing at her house last night meant?
41857Woice what diffikilt Ned?
41857Wuz dat gemman a Mefodis ur Mishunary?
41857Wuz yu dare? 41857 Wuz yu sho nuff drounded to def, brudder Joshaway?"

41857Yes, but will you allow me to proceed?

41857Yes, why do you ask?
41857You are not a soldier I hope, uncle Joshua? 41857 You knows I haint no man nur cattle beastis nudder; whot maks yu so tantilizin?
41857You seem to be very thoroughly disgusted with the situation Ned?
41857You were not a soldier in the Union army?
41857You were, then, a Confederate soldier?
41857You will pardon my tears will you not?
41857Yu heerd whot I sed, did n''t yu?
41857A few years ago an American asked a halting, mutilated soldier of the Old Guard to tell him how Napoleon died?
41857Ah, the resurrection, who gives this promise, this faith, this hope?
41857Ai nt nex mont October?"
41857Alice was the first to speak and she said quite endearingly"How are you now, my dear Mrs. MacLaren?
41857And Hannah in her night robes ran out frantically crying,"Show me dem dar sarpents, whar is dey Joshaway?"
41857And can you, my sweet Alice, reciprocate the feeling?"
41857And he sang very plaintively:"Oh Kanyun, sweet Kanyun when shall I see, When shall I git dere?"
41857And what is going to become of Clarissa and Ned?
41857And what was he like?"
41857Another sunrise shoots its gleams into the cribbed heart of Old Ingleside, and Clarissa has not returned to prepare breakfast; what can be the matter?
41857Are the mills of the gods still grinding?
41857As an Irish barrister once wrote upon the door of a plebians''carriage,"Why do you laugh?"
41857As she saw Joshua she threw up her hands and impulsively exclaimed,"Fur de Lawd''s sake, Joshaway, whot do ail yer eny way?
41857As the regulator was ambling along he put his two fingers to his mouth and accidentally(?)
41857Between such as these and their former masters were there not higher and holier feelings and relations than those of master and servant?
41857Blessed day will it bring surcease from sorrow, a moment''s respite from the maelstrom of trouble?"
41857Bress de Lawd, how wuz I ergwine ter know de munny wuz gwine to stay at de tuther eend und I at disser eend?
41857By and by what shall the harvest be?
41857By fits and starts old Joshua would awake throughout the nights and call to Hannah,"Ole womun, duz yer kno whar yer is a roosting to night?
41857By the way, how is your father''s health now, Miss Alice?"
41857Can I depend on you?"
41857Can we charm the serpent into harmlessness by the feeble chirping of the wren?
41857Can we tranquilize the country by indignant declamation?"
41857Can you not assist me?
41857Can you tell me about it?"
41857Clarissa exclaimed as she entered the kitchen,"Miss Alice, whar in de name ob commun sense has yer been all dis time?
41857Clarissa would say to her young mistress so inquisitively,"Miss Alice, why do n''t yu git married?
41857Clarsy, do n''t it mak you sorter solumkolly to see how idjeotick ole mister Semo is a gittin, sens de culled fokes is franksized?"

41857Flowers to drive these vermin from my home?"
41857Flowers, accompanied by Ned, saluted the Colonel with,"What are your orders for to- day, sir?"
41857Flowers?"
41857Flowers?"
41857Flowers?"
41857Grate king, Mars Jon, what sorter ammynishun did dem dare yankeys shoot outen dare kannons ennyhow?
41857Had they like Joshua and Hur ever stayed the hand of the prisoner, when with drawn sword he guarded the portal of the temple?

41857Has it not admonished man to put away from him every mercenary calculation and to realize that the scourges of sin are rotting whip cords?
41857Has yer seen ole Jube?"
41857Has yu, Hanner?"
41857Have I been ensnared by the pretty fowler, enmeshed by the witcheries, the fascinations of this royal and unsophisticated beauty?"
41857Have you entirely forgotten your old friends?"
41857He asked himself the question,"Can I be in love?
41857How are you, sir?"
41857How cum dat dar jedge outen here any how?
41857How cum de drownded nigger dare?
41857How cum de koo kluck dare?

41857How would Alice appear in her funereal robes before him, before the altar?
41857How wus I er gwine ter git ter dis eend epseps I had fafe in de button?

41857I ai nt neber been kotched in no scrapes befo in my born days, has I ole marser?''
41857I asked the prisoner why this superfluity of decorations?
41857I presume, sir,"continued the Englishman,"you would have no hesitation in going to war again if the same casus- belli existed?"
41857I shall be in your town again within the next month, and may I indulge the hope that I shall be once more welcomed at Ingleside?"
41857I suspect that you do not think that a strongly centralized government in any contingency is the least oppressive form of government?"
41857I was a Union soldier and fought under the Stars and Stripes, through the bloody battle of Manassas, and can my rebel sweetheart forgive me?"
41857I wishes to quire, ef a crowbar mout be er witniss in his own beharf, sar?"

41857If the judge had knowledge of our unbidden presence, would he not say in the law latin that we had committed a trespass,"_ quare clausum fregit_?"
41857In all the dead aeons of dead centuries, science, nature, man, have asked in vain''If a man die shall he live again?''
41857In de name of Gord, what wus dat, ole marsa?
41857In the garnering of the red harvest did our men and women of the sixties maintain themselves with a proper decorum?
41857In this awakening to the brighter possibilities whom should she clasp to her heart but her old friend, Charles Dickens?
41857Is dere eny defference in hebben twixt er cullud pussun und a white pussun?"
41857Is it not the key that unlocks the door of Heaven?
41857Is it possible we are the dupes of a government spy so clever and intelligent?"
41857Is there no limitation to such a contract; are not its conditions already performed?
41857Is there still grist to feed the stones?
41857Is there yet water in the flume to run the heavy wheel?
41857Is us Maria?"
41857Is yer aimin to git de whole kommisary flung in?

41857Iseed him put his handkercher to his face lak he mout be weepin; what did yer say to him, ole marser, dat upsot him so bad?"
41857It was Alice''s turn as a matter of conceit to ask the old negro what he thought of Judge Livingstone?
41857It was a matter of anxious and fearful thought,"What must be the result of collisions that are sure to come?"
41857Kase Mars Harry he did n''t no no better und ole marster did, do n''t you see de pint, Clarsy?"
41857Kin I skiver er humans clean clar ercross de dissart, und retch back ter de eend o''de yeth, wid dese wun- eyed specks?

41857May I ask after your health, sir?"
41857May I ask your destination as I observe you are traveling too?"
41857May I hope to see you at your home in the country?"
41857May I not die with him?
41857Now den, fustly und foremustly, who gin dis bride away?"
41857Now tell me did you ever hear of the rebellion?"
41857Now whar is Joshaway agwine to git his supper er me udder?"
41857Now what dus I have to pay?"
41857Oh, the charm, the aroma of the vine- clad conservatory, dear mother''s"Flowery kingdom"and her little royal maids?
41857Old Jupiter, the pet hound, looked up into her fair face as if to say,"You will not forget me when breakfast is ready will you?"
41857Ole marsa,"he continued,"mout I hab jes wun wurd wid yer?"
41857Once Ned partially aroused exclaimed deliriously,"I''se a woting ebery time fur de boss, who''s yer a woting fur, Joshaway?"
41857Ond were you nae singing a wee bit ago dearie?
41857Ond will the naygurs harm a poor mishanalled mon like me?"
41857Ond wud you mind putting up a wee bit prayer for sich an auld rack of a body?"
41857Perhaps, sir,"he continued, addressing His Honor,"you are not in sympathy with the views I may have inconsiderately expressed?"
41857Powers that be, at whose shrine shall the persecuted man make the act of apotheosis?
41857Quite an interesting man was he not?
41857Saks a live, white man, dos yer aim to massercree fokes fo und aft?
41857Sarve Ellick rite ef he gits masskreed; but sposin yer und Ned gits kilt, whot is ergwine ter cum ob me und Miss Alice?

41857Shall I ever be able to exhibit any proof of its payment?
41857Shall I play yours?"
41857Shall I read a passage to you?"
41857Shall it be at the altar of Laflin, the freedman''s deity?
41857Shall it be in the presence of the cringing minions who will mock at his calamity and laugh when his fear cometh?
41857Shall the officers of the law, under these broken arches, endorse a due return upon the writ of ejectment?
41857Shall we declare ourselves outlawed from the community of nations?
41857Shall we have peace and rest, or surprises and?"
41857Shall we leave our character, our civilization, our very being to the unresisted assault and prepare such an epitaph for our tombs?
41857Shall we slip away from Alice for a moment to invade the privacy of the judge?
41857She began to hope again, perhaps to love again, who shall say?
41857So he addressed the stranger in a manner quite emphatic--"May I enquire, sir, to what circumstance I am indebted for the honor of this visit?"
41857Sophia Ann, has yu heerd de news, or is yu pine blank ded?
41857Sposin de surcus rider had er heerd dat cuss wurd he flung at me und yu?

41857Tell me dat?
41857Tell me dat?
41857Tell me dat?"
41857The colonel looked into the face of the negro as he asked despairingly:"How am I to obey the order?
41857The first observation the old negro made as he came up was this,"How much is de boss agwine to gib fur wotin fur him to go to de legislatur?"
41857The hour for inquisitorial visits or interruptions was unseasonable,"what could it mean?"
41857The judge looked toward the prisoner with a scowl as he observed,"What''s dat white man''s name?"
41857This exclamation was just loud enough for the Colonel to overhear, who enquired of the judge,"what it was that was impossible?"
41857Times is er gitten so mistrustful dat I cum ter ax yu und yung missis mouten me und Clarissa stay wid yu in de grate house?
41857To be sho you did n''t swop your brand new slick beaver off for dat dar camp kittle?"
41857To tell you that I have been captivated by the only girl that can under all circumstances make me happy?
41857To what other convulsions and changes are we predestined?
41857Turning to the solicitor he asked with deliberation,"Can you tell me how the indictment against this old man found its way into this court?"
41857Und Hanner she ups und sez, sez she,''How cum yer node mo dan tuther humans?
41857Und den I ups und sez, sez I, How''s I ergwine ter tell dat woice frum de tuther wuns?

41857Und yu seed de kommissery ob de debbil; did yu see de Lord''s lambs dare?
41857Ur is yu aiming ter immertate dat aintshunt?"
41857Was it not a grief that lay like a dead bulk upon the heart, all the day and all the night; and peopled their dreams with negroes and ogres too?
41857Was there ever such a people before?
41857Well, den, how cum de drotted crick in de middle o''de rode?
41857Well, den, how did de sperrets git inter de button?
41857Were the twelve black jurors in the box his country?
41857Were you a Confederate soldier, sir, and do you insult my intelligence, my loyalty, yea, my bravery, sir, by this challenged inquiry?"
41857Whar is yer agwine wid dat baskit und dem wittles?"
41857Whar wus yer when dey fit de war enny how?"
41857Whar yer fink I foun dat po ole cat, missis?"
41857What children were ever like his children?
41857What had become of the warning paragraph in the reconstruction calendar?
41857What holy font was polluted by its baptism?
41857What homes were ever like their homes?
41857What is life without thee?"
41857What is the matter with my dear father?"
41857What is yer doing here in ole marser''s house, anyhow?

41857What was dat?"
41857What will they do with father Clarissa?"
41857What you sez your name is?"
41857Whatever shall I do with all this rubbish?
41857When Joshua came within hailing distance, Hannah halloed to him;"Whay hez yu been all dis nite Joshaway?
41857Whence its bastard origin?

33058''But why did you think so in the first place?'' 33058 A whim?
33058Ai n''t there no other woman in the world?
33058Am I as bad as all that? 33058 And about Nan''s age?
33058And in broad daylight?
33058And what did Master Francis say to that?
33058And what does Mr. Sanders think of it?
33058And where do I come in?
33058And why do you hide? 33058 And why should Gabriel get a parasol?"
33058And you want to see Tomlin because you have had trouble; but why is it, Mr. Sanders, that your people never think of me when you have trouble? 33058 Are n''t you ashamed of yourself, Cephas, to treat me so?
33058Are they red and swollen, Gabriel?
33058Are you going out to Butts''s to- night?
33058Are you ready, you cowardly hellian?
33058Are you right certain about that, Mahlon?
33058Are you right certain an''shore that this man Hotchkiss is stayin''wi''Mahlon Butts?
33058Are you still angry, Cephas?
33058Are you the Mr. Tomlin of whom I have heard my mother speak?
33058Are you very fond of him?
33058Ashamed, Paul?
33058Blood?
33058Brothers, is all well with you?
33058But did n''t she give you some hint-- some intimation? 33058 But how are right and justice to prevail?
33058But how did you know, child?
33058But suppose they should take a notion to marry; what would you do to stop''em?
33058But the ladies?
33058But what about Margaret Gaither?
33058But what about Paul?
33058But what do you mean by a good deal?
33058But will he ever wear a red feather in his hat and a red sash over his shoulder?
33058But, mother,protested the young lady,"why worry about it?
33058Ca n''t you see I''ve got on my Sunday duds?
33058Can you keep a secret, Tolliver?
33058Can you tell me,she said, turning to Mr. Sanders,"whether the Gaither Place is occupied?
33058Cephas, will you see Paul Tomlin?
33058De diffunce er what?
33058Did Gabriel say I disliked him?
33058Did I desert you when you were ill and delirious? 33058 Did I send you a letter?"
33058Did Paul ever see my picture there?
33058Did he know what you said?
33058Did he say anything?
33058Did he say that he wanted you to marry Frank Bethune?
33058Did n''t Gabriel tell you? 33058 Did n''t you know when he kissed you good- night that something was wrong?"
33058Did they have them hid?
33058Did you ask Ike about it?
33058Did you ever hear of a false alarm? 33058 Did you hang that thing up there for Paul to see it and ask questions about it?"
33058Did you have a doctor?
33058Did you leave anybody at home?
33058Did you run hard just to ask me that? 33058 Did you see that great gawk of a boy?"
33058Did you think I was going to swallow the joke that you and that Claiborne girl hatched up between you? 33058 Did you?"
33058Do I look pale, my son?
33058Do I, indeed? 33058 Do n''t you remember,"Nan went on in a reminiscent way,"that she made you shake hands with me that day?
33058Do n''t you think the portrait flatters him?
33058Do which, suh?
33058Do you know anything against the young lady''s character?
33058Do you know this Boring?
33058Do you mean to tell me he never asked about his grandmother?
33058Do you mean to tell me that your husband is dead?
33058Do you pick raspberries with your mouth?
33058Do you propose to let him go ahead and fall in love with the girl?
33058Do you really feel so?
33058Do you really feel that I would be justified if I confirmed the suspicions you have expressed?
33058Do you really think so, mother?
33058Do you remember how wildly you talked-- how insulting you were?
33058Do you remember what I told you on the occasion of your first visit?
33058Do you remember your first visit here?
33058Do you think, Madam, that it is a matter for a joke? 33058 Do you- all know what I''ve gone an''done?"
33058Does Tasma Tid belong to your church?

33058Goodlett, who were the ladies you brought from Malvern to- day?
33058Gus,said Mr. Sanders, without any ceremony,"you remember the row you come mighty nigh havin''wi''Tomlin Perdue, not so many years ago?"
33058Hand in hand, Gabriel? 33058 Have we none?"
33058Have you any special interest in my welfare?
33058Heard of him? 33058 Hello, Colonel, how are you?
33058His name was Bridlebin, or something of that kind, was it not?
33058Honey,he said,"what must I do?
33058Honey,she said to Paul,"how come yo''pa went ter de Gaither Place ter- night?
33058How I gwine change um, honey?
33058How are you, and how is the high and mighty Gabriel?
33058How can you trouble me when I do n''t know what you mean? 33058 How come we name Tid?
33058How come you dis away, Honey Nan?
33058How could I forget, Nan?
33058How could that be, sir? 33058 How do you know?"
33058How should I? 33058 Howdy, girls?
33058Huccum you in we house? 33058 I do n''t know your voice,"said Gabriel;"how did you know me?"
33058I mean, have n''t you changed their places?
33058I see,said the Captain;"wherever Gabriel goes, you are willing to go?"
33058I was n''t very nice to you, was I?
33058I wonder if Tomlin Perdue would n''t let me into the row?
33058I wonder who in the world they can be?
33058I? 33058 I?
33058If I had those miserable creatures in my power, do you know what I would do? 33058 If I want to sell my cotton?
33058Is Miss Polly Gaither useful?
33058Is Mr. Goodlett in?
33058Is dis war, honey?
33058Is it important?
33058Is it sure enough love?
33058Is my mouf dat red?
33058Is n''t he at home? 33058 Is she got a wen?"
33058Is that so? 33058 Is that so?"
33058Is that so?
33058Is that so?
33058Is that the trouble?
33058Is that the way you do, when Gabriel comes and kisses you in the night?
33058Is that you, Mr. Hotchkiss? 33058 Is the Judge really here?"
33058Is this Dr. Dorrington? 33058 Is you ever seed him do dis away befo''sence he been born?"
33058It happened in Malvern, did n''t it?
33058Long- come- shorts, what are they?
33058Major,he said, when he found opportunity to state the nature of his business,"do you know young Gabe Tolliver?"
33058Margaret,said Nan, in a most serious tone,"has he or Aunt Fanny ever treated you unkindly?"
33058May I see my daughter?
33058Miss Fanny,she said, turning to the lady,"how come dat chile lef''home?"
33058Miss Genia,said the girl,"is Mr. Paul here?"
33058Mr. Sanders, has Tomlin Perdue been dropping his wing about that fuss? 33058 My dear, did n''t these young men, and the Yankees who arrested them, take the train here?"
33058My dear, what put it into that wise little head of yours to come and comfort an old woman?
33058Nan,she said,"will you take a boarder for-- for-- for I do n''t know how long?"
33058Nonny,she cried,"do I really walk that way, and finger my skirt so?"
33058Now, Mammy Rhody, why did you do that?
33058Now, then,said Captain Falconer, with an answering smile,"how would you like to go with me?"
33058Now, what in the ding- nation is that woman up to? 33058 Now, what is the matter?"
33058Now, what_ do_ you mean by that, Johnny?
33058Now, what_ is_ the trouble, Rhody? 33058 Oh, Gabriel-- but why do you mention Gabriel?"
33058Oh, I wonder when we''ll all be at peace and happy again?
33058Oh, did you?
33058Oh, is it all true? 33058 Oh, is that so?
33058Oh, is that you?
33058Oh, you want me to go too?
33058Shall I go?
33058Shall I tell her, Paul? 33058 Shall I tell mother that you have given your promise to call soon?"
33058She is,replied Gabriel;"but if she permits me to call her Nan, why should any one else object?"
33058Suppose it''s a rainy day, Buck; what then?
33058Teasing? 33058 That''s Paul all over; but what will the poor boy think when he finds out what you know?"
33058Then why did you come here and pretend-- pretend-- ain''t you Ritta Rozelle, that used to be?
33058Then why should he act as he does?
33058Then, what in the world will I do?
33058They are somewhat red, but----"But what?
33058This is the first quarrel,Nan declared,"and who knows how it will all end?
33058Tolliver, where are you? 33058 Tomlin is my brother- in- law-- But where are you going now?"
33058Was he a Frenchman?
33058Was he angry with any one?
33058Was he really there?
33058Was he wounded in the war, or is he jest up to some of his old- time devilment?
33058Was that all?
33058Well, I wonder what''s he up to?
33058Well, have n''t I left you alone?
33058Well, tell me this,Nan insisted;"what did he talk about when he woke up?
33058Well, what about Paul?
33058Well, what did he say?
33058Well, what in the name of the seven stars are you doing out here in the woods at this time of night?
33058Well, what is the difference?
33058Well, what is the trouble, child?
33058Well, what of it?
33058Well, why do n''t you congratulate me?
33058Well, why not? 33058 Well, you were there,"replied Mrs. Dorrington,"and since that is so, why not make a joke of it?
33058Well,said Nan, drawing herself up a little stiffly,"what is that to me?"

33058What I want to know, Captain, is this: if that little chap comes down to Savannah, will you allow him to see Gabriel and talk to him?
33058What are friends for? 33058 What are you doing for yourself, Tolliver?
33058What are you trying to do to Jeremiah?
33058What boys was you referrin''to, Colonel?
33058What did I tell you about that wild plan of yours to rescue one of the prisoners? 33058 What did Mr. Tomlin say when you told him she was gone?"
33058What did Paul say to that?
33058What did he say?
33058What did you accomplish?
33058What did you do to Gabriel, Nan, that he should be running away from you at such a rate? 33058 What do you call this?"
33058What do you mean by our best men, father?
33058What do you mean by that?
33058What do you mean?
33058What do you mean?
33058What do you see?
33058What do you take me for? 33058 What do you think of me?"
33058What do you think, Lucy? 33058 What does he mean?"
33058What does he mean?
33058What does this she- devil mean?
33058What in the world have I done,she remarked,"to receive a letter from Shady Dale?"
33058What is it you wish?
33058What is it?
33058What is the matter with Gabriel?
33058What is the matter?
33058What is wrong? 33058 What is your business with Miss Bridalbin?"
33058What is your business with me?
33058What is your mammy''s name?
33058What kinder lingo is that?
33058What possible reason could I have for denying or concealing the fact?
33058What put that idea in your head?
33058What sort of a dream did you have, Silas?
33058What time was Hotchkiss killed?
33058What was that?
33058What were_ you_ doing there?
33058What will Miss Eugenia and her mother think?
33058What wind blowed you in here?
33058What wind has blown you over here?
33058What wish of mine have you found yourself unable to carry out?
33058What would you do, Mr. Sanders, if you were in love?
33058What''s that?
33058What''s the difference between Battercakes and Muffins? 33058 What''s the matter, Sam?"
33058What''s up now?
33058What''s your mouth for, Gus? 33058 Wher''in the nation did he go?"
33058Where are you and Cephas going?
33058Where do you hide yourself, Gabriel?
33058Where do you stay?
33058Where have you been? 33058 Where is that?"
33058Where is your home?
33058Where was the killin''done?
33058Where''d you learn all that?

33058Who is that? 33058 Who-- me?
33058Who--_me_? 33058 Who?"
33058Whoever heard of that man pretending, or trying to deceive any one? 33058 Why ca n''t you tell me?"
33058Why did they tell her at all? 33058 Why did you come here hunting for Paul?"
33058Why did you come here?
33058Why do you ask?
33058Why do you hate the wooden- leg man, honey? 33058 Why do you look at me like that, Gabriel?"
33058Why should it mean anything?
33058Why will you ladies,he said,"persist in putting that sort of stuff on you?"
33058Why, Pulaski, what on earth is the matter?
33058Why, do you mean to tell me that any girl can be unhappy? 33058 Why, honey, what ails you?
33058Why, honey, what good would it do?
33058Why, how could she know?
33058Why, what could he say? 33058 Why, what do they mean?"
33058Why, what has she been telling you?
33058Why, what in the world is the matter, Polly? 33058 Why, what is the matter with you, Margaret?
33058Why, what put such an idea in your head, Grandmother Lumsden?
33058Why, when did anybody ever hear of his being angry with any one he thought was a friend?
33058Why, when did you come? 33058 Why, whoever heard of such a thing?"
33058Why, you said,''Well, what is that to me?''
33058Why?
33058Will you come with me to my house?
33058Wo n''t you come in an''rest? 33058 Wo n''t you come in?"
33058Would n''t it be best for some one to call-- some one who was her friend?
33058Would you uv believed it, William? 33058 Yes, I did say that, but did n''t I go to your house, and tell you what to say to Gabriel?"
33058Yes, I know I should be; but suppose you were in my shoes, would you be happy?
33058You are not afraid for yourself; why should you be afraid for those people?
33058You are the sister who was going to school in-- wasn''t it Boston?
33058You did n''t expect to find me roosting around out here, did you?
33058You did n''t tell him, then?
33058You do n''t want him to be the laughing- stock of the people, do you?
33058You got''i m in the league all right, I hope?
33058You gwine, is you?
33058You have another engagement?
33058You hear dat, people?
33058You say Margaret Gaither has a daughter, Gabriel?
33058You think that looks like war?
33058You told your husband that? 33058 You''ve been Bethuning Nan and me for ever so long, grandmother: what do you think of this?"
33058_ He did?_cried the others.
33058_ He_ in dar? 33058 ''Can you not conceive a reason why you should not see him now-- at this time, and for many days to come?'' 33058 ''Do you know why he does n''t want her to see him?'' 33058 ''Do you know, Fanny?'' 33058 ''This is Miss Gaither?'' 33058 ''Why, what-- what is the trouble?'' 33058 ''Why?'' 33058 ''You ai n''t afeard to come?'' 33058 Ab?
33058Absalom?--how are you?"
33058Ai n''t I been tellin''you dat you''d run''i m off wid yo''scrimpin''an''pinchin''?
33058Ai n''t I been tellin''you how''twould be?
33058Ai n''t there some way you can break Gabriel''s?"
33058Ai n''t you comin''?
33058All of a sudden, Fanny Tomlin----""You mean Aunt Fanny?"
33058Am I losing caste in your community?"
33058And do you go and sit before it, and study it, and sometimes shake your finger at it playfully?
33058And how could you describe the harmony that time has brought about between the fine old houses and the setting in which they are grouped?
33058And how did she look?"
33058And how in the world did he manage to get in the waggon, and crawl on the inside of the sham bale of cotton and hide so that nobody could see him?
33058And how is Margaret?"
33058And if they ca n''t get some native- born white man to run, who do you reckon they''ll have to put up as a candidate?
33058And is the wind really blowing in that quarter?"
33058And the girls-- Tolliver, when did you get acquainted with them?
33058And what did Paul and Jesse have to say?
33058And when Mr. Sanders told her, she cried out,"Oh, why do n''t they leave her alone?"
33058And whoever heard of putting butter on poun''-cake?"
33058And why do you walk so fast?
33058And yet if you were called upon to define the nature of the spell, what could you say?
33058Are you ill?"
33058Are you ill?"
33058Are you prepared to sustain a very severe shock?''
33058Are you unhappy, too?"
33058As for vanity, what on earth have I to be vain of?"
33058But I want to ask you: ai n''t you some kin to John Barbour Falconer?"
33058But do you have Meriwether''s portrait hanging in your parlour?
33058But ef it was right here, how could I git to it?
33058But he was not sure that he heard the laugh, and how, he asked himself, could he imagine that it was Nan Dorrington''s even if he had heard it?
33058But now-- you see Ab over there?
33058But suppose they did n''t turn over and go back to sleep: does n''t that make matters worse?
33058But that hill business, and the mooning-- how about them?
33058But what did it all mean?
33058But when did the precepts of age and experience ever succeed in chilling the enthusiasm of youth?
33058But why are you sorry for our young women?"
33058But why do you ask?
33058But wo n''t dey be a wakin''up when de time come?"
33058CHAPTER TEN_ The Troubles of Nan_"Why, what on earth ails the child?"
33058Ca n''t you slide down without hurting your feelings?"
33058Ca n''t you trust me?"
33058Can she hear what I am about to say?"
33058Can you blame''em?
33058Can you imagine that my mission here is pleasant to me?
33058Could we expect anything less from those who have been brought up to believe that slavery is a divine institution?"
33058Did I put faith in an anonymous letter and believe you to be dead?"
33058Did he ask about any of the home- folks?"
33058Did n''t you notice that I recited my piece much as a school- boy would?"
33058Did you ever notice the way she holds her head?
33058Did you ever notice, Cephas, how funny people are when they are really in earnest?"
33058Did you ever pass along by a pastur''at night, an''hear a cow fetch a long sigh?
33058Did you ever think of that, Tolliver?
33058Did you guess?"
33058Did you know?
33058Did you see her, Gabriel?
33058Did you think I was bold to send for you?"
33058Do n''t you know me, Marse Billy?
33058Do n''t you see how well I know you?
33058Do n''t you think I am old enough to be trusted?"
33058Do n''t you think it would be extremely pert in a young girl to make fun of a gentleman old enough to be her father?"
33058Do n''t you think so, Nan?"
33058Do n''t you think so, sweet child?"
33058Do you dislike poor folks?"
33058Do you know why he is called Neighbour Tomlin?
33058Do you know, Meriwether?"
33058Do you mean to insinuate that you intend to offer yourself as the horrible example?
33058Do you realise that there is nothing but a whim betwixt me and disgrace-- betwixt Paul and disgrace?"
33058Do you reckon I''d tell that to anybody that cared anything for him?
33058Do you reckon I''m fool enough to tell Gabriel that you''ll die if he do n''t come home soon?"
33058Do you remember what I told you about those people?"
33058Do you remember what time it was when Gabriel come home the night Hotchkiss was killed?"
33058Do you suppose I have no feelings?"
33058Do you suppose I would have sat by you on the sofa, and held your hand if I had not known it?"
33058Do you suppose that Eugenia Claiborne, or any other decent woman would marry the son of a scalawag?"
33058Do you think it does you justice?"
33058Do you think that I''m tryin''to make money?"
33058Do you want to make your best friends miserable?"
33058Does n''t it seem ridiculous?"
33058Does she receive visitors?"
33058En spozen he wa''nt, how you speck me ter spell sump''n er somebody which I ai n''t never laid eyes on?
33058Gabe?"
33058Gabriel promptly gave his word that he would never mention anything about Bridalbin''s name, and then he said--"But this parade-- what does it mean?"
33058Gabriel, will you run over, and ask Fanny Tomlin to come?
33058Goodlett?"
33058Had she gone for a drink of water, or for a book?
33058Has anybody pestered you?
33058Has he been making remarks?"
33058Has he been rude to you, Nan?"
33058Have n''t we been friends since we were children together?
33058Have you ever heard of Captain Buck Sanford?"
33058Have you two heard anything?"
33058He did n''t need it, did he?"
33058He knew, of course, that he was playing with fire, but what of that?
33058He say,''Which away, Pidgin?''
33058He tried to say,"What did you hear, Paul?"
33058He went ter bed wid de headache, an''he got up wid it; an''what you call dat, ef''taint bein''sick?
33058His first word was about his sister:''Is Fanny hurt?''
33058Honey, what on earth ails you?
33058Hotchkiss?"
33058Hotchkiss?"
33058How I gwineter spell Johnny Murrell, an''him done dead dis many a long year ago?"
33058How come we ai n''t name Tasma Tid?"
33058How could I tell you anything before others?
33058How could he?
33058How did Gabriel look when he ran from the depot at Malvern?
33058How did he enjoy himself?
33058How fur is t''other place?"
33058How many men has Buck Sanford winged?"
33058How was it with me?
33058How you call you''name?"
33058How you speck I kin git''long, haulin''an''maulin'', ef I dunner how ter spell?
33058How''d you pick up the lingo?"
33058Howdy, howdy?"
33058I could go down thar myself, an''I''d be glad to, but could I git to have a private talk wi''Gabriel?
33058I expected cheerfulness from you at least, but what do I find?
33058I make a racket?
33058I say,''Jerry, what de matter wid Sis''Rhody?''
33058I says to her, says I,''What put that idee in your head, Becky?''
33058I says, says I,''Becky, what''s to hender you from takin''supper here to- night?''
33058I suppose you never had any trouble?"
33058I wonder what her father will say when he comes?"
33058I wonder what we have done out this way that old Picayune should be sneakin''around here?
33058If my old friend loves me well enough to be anxious to give my wife and children pleasure, what is there wrong about that?"
33058If you do n''t have something sweet to tell me when you come back, I''ll think you detest me-- wasn''t that Gabriel''s word?
33058Is Paul not to come home any more?
33058Is he yever loant yo''ma any money?"
33058Is it really and truly true, or is it a dream?"
33058Is n''t she a bold piece?''
33058Is n''t that the way they do when there''s a war?"
33058Is she in the room?
33058Is that you, Tiddy Me Tas?"
33058Is this woman really his wife?"
33058Is you gwine ter cripple de cow dat gives de cream?"
33058Jeremiah, witnessing the performance, had his curiosity aroused:"What is de word you uv writ, suh?"
33058Me not know dat man?
33058Murrell?"
33058My son, when and where did you come to know all these young ladies?"
33058Nan dropped a low curtsey, saying,"Oh, thank you, sir-- what was the gentleman''s name, Cephas-- the gentleman who was such a cavalier?"
33058Now what, in law, is the man''s status?
33058Now, how did she know?"
33058Now, what do they mean by that?"
33058Now, what do you suppose would be the simplest way to do this?"
33058Now, what do you think of it, Lucy?"
33058Now, what do you think of that?"
33058Of Mr. Lazenby, she said later:"What''s the use of choosin''betwixt a fool an''a fiddler, when you can git both in the same package?"
33058Oh, what do you think?
33058Once Nan had asked her--"Grandmother Lumsden, what is the perfume I smell every time I come here?
33058Or did he run because he saw me coming?"
33058Or were you at a Sunday- school picnic when it was rung in?
33058Paul is a very good friend of mine, and I could wish him well wherever he might be; but how would you feel, sir, if he were never to return?"
33058Sanders, have you heard from Gabriel?''
33058Sanders?"
33058Sanders?"
33058Sanders?"
33058Sanders?"
33058Sanders?"
33058Seeing no one but Silas, she cried out indignantly,"Who dat slammin''dat front do''?
33058Shall she come in?''
33058She said she knew their names well enough when they were pulling the carriage, but now--"Have n''t you changed the horses, Uncle Plato?"
33058She says,''I''d like it the best in the world, Britt; but do n''t you think I''d better be at home-- to- night?''
33058She''s a fine gal, ai n''t she?"
33058Should they cease their patronage, what would he and Edie do for victuals to eat and clothes to wear?
33058Some folks got de idee dat kaze I''m fat I''m bleeze ter be long- sufferin''; but you know better''n dat, do n''t you?"
33058Something was wrong, but what?
33058Tell me honestly, Aunt Fanny, now while I am in the humour to hear it, what do I do that is so terrible?"
33058That much he could gather from Tidwell''s declaration; but who?
33058The Yanks did n''t take the town off, did they?"
33058The people felt that something must be done, but what?
33058Then looking hard at the girl, he bluntly asked,"Is there anything between you and Paul?"
33058Then the youngest, she''s the daughter, she says, says she,''Is that reely him, ma?''
33058There was no answer to this, but presently Bethune turned to Gabriel and said:"Why do you dislike me, Tolliver?"
33058They ca n''t be afraid of the Yankee soldiers, can they?
33058They walked on a little way, when the lawyer suddenly turned to Silas and said:"Mr. Tomlin, will you fetch that magazine in to- morrow?
33058They''ve been hanging around-- why, howdye, Mr. Sanders?
33058Tidwell, who was the red- headed girl that raved so about Tolliver''s curls?"
33058Was he frightened?
33058Was n''t it splendiferous?
33058Was our public press, the palladium of our liberties, losing its prestige and influence?
33058Was the beetle preparing to eat the mouse?
33058Well, Mr. Tolliver, why are you so desirous of knowing whether I go to Butts''s to- night?"
33058Well, you do n''t reckon I want to give it away, do you?
33058Were Meriwether Clopton and Mr. Sanders about to join the radicals?
33058Were n''t you frightened to death?"
33058Whaffer you come dey?
33058What are you hiding out here for anyway?"
33058What business he got dar?"
33058What case?
33058What de name er goodness he doin''here?"
33058What did you think of Lincoln anyhow?"
33058What does Adam Smith say?
33058What has been the trouble to- day?"
33058What in the world is the matter wi''old Billy?"
33058What is I ever done to you?"
33058What is she trying to do, I wonder?
33058What is the gentleman''s name?"
33058What is to be done?"
33058What is your name?"
33058What is your name?"
33058What is your name?"
33058What is your opinion?"
33058What more could any man ask?
33058What of your mother?"
33058What was he sayin''?"
33058What would she say and do next?
33058What you do with Ike?"
33058What you done done ter dat chile?
33058What you reckon I been doin''all deze long- come- shorts ef I dunner how ter spell?
33058When and where and how did I ever do you a wrong?"
33058When did you tell him?"
33058Wher''s Ike?"
33058Where are you, Lucy?"
33058Where did they go?"
33058Where does he stand?
33058Where is Dorrington?
33058Where''s anybody in these diggin''s that''s any bigger or stouter?
33058Who is in there?"
33058Who shall judge?
33058Whoever heard of rescuing persons by inviting them to supper?"
33058Why did they think it was necessary?"
33058Why did you go away and leave me?"
33058Why do n''t the folks here wake up?
33058Why do n''t you ask your Mr. Bethune to take your place, or at least go with you?"
33058Why do n''t you ketch hands an''run to play?
33058Why do n''t you put supper on the table?"
33058Why is n''t he here?''
33058Why should you be sorry?"
33058Would I permit her to sit in a chair near the door of the room in which Pulaski lay, until such time as she could see him?
33058Would n''t she think I was very bold?"
33058Yes, and the hand of the son of the First Settler( could their eyes deceive them?)
33058You cried bekase old Billy Sanders was drunk, did n''t you, Nan?
33058You have to pass the time away anyhow, an''what better way is they than workin''for them you like?
33058You know Miss Nan Dorrington, do n''t you, Colonel Blasengame?
33058You know that short, single- barrel shebang?
33058You know, of course, that she is very ill; will you go up and speak with her?"
33058You remember Robert Gaither?
33058You remember how, before the war, we used to sneer at the Yankees for their money- making proclivities?
33058You saw that rascal talking to the niggers awhile ago, did n''t you?
33058You say dat boy sha''n''t marry de gal; but how come you courtin''de mammy?"
33058You say they ai n''t no way for you to break Gabriel''s heart, too?"
33058You say your husband is not in?
33058You women----""Ca n''t I have my own views?
33058You''ve had mighty hard work; what is it all wuth?''
33058_ Why_ do you want to advise me?"
33058an''what you gwineter do wid me?"
33058and did n''t he wish he was back at home many a time?
33058arawa ooya ingagog?"
33058ca n''t you tell a feller howdy?''"
33058ca n''t you tell a feller howdy?''"
33058cried Nan;"what could have put such an idea in his head?"
33058exclaimed Gabriel impatiently;"who''s been talking of the affairs of Miss Dorrington in that way?"
33058exclaimed Mrs. Lumsden, laughing;"what put in your head the idea that you are pretty?"
33058gormandise, an''set in the shade?
33058has the yeth caved in?"
33058he cried;"who is you- all anyhow?
33058he exclaimed,"what are you doing out there?
33058how could Rhody, in her ignorance and blindness, probe the recesses of a soul as reticent as that of Silas Tomlin?
33058how''d you know that?
33058said one of the cotton- buyers, taking advantage of a momentary pause in Mr. Tidwell''s monologue;"how are you getting on these days?"
33058she exclaimed, and then,"Why did n''t you fall off the waggon?"
33058snorted Rhody,"how come dat ai n''t cross my mind?
33058what is the matter with you?
33058when will you come down from your clouds?"
33058where are you?
33058why should I be angry?"

6058Ah, you seem to be quite an admirer of her?

6058And do n''t know his name?
6058And has any one else offered to turn men off for comin''here?
6058And has every Richards and Le Moyne on the planet a right to challenge my opinions?
6058And that was in 1794?
6058And then-- if-- if there was-- anything wrong?
6058And was Noah and his family well when you bid''em good- by?
6058And would you believe my word if I assured you that this was the fact?
6058And you a white man?
6058And you came across the Sound alone in an open boat?
6058And you do not desire the election held here?
6058And you think such a system might be applied to a Government appropriation?
6058And you would give up your home?
6058Any answer, ma''arn?
6058Anybody hurt?
6058Anybody with you?
6058Anybody you can send for him?

6058But did n''t yer leave the house locked when you came here?
6058But how can you, dear?
6058But how did you come to find it? 6058 But how did you come to have dis one-- Ware?"
6058But how do you know that it_ is_ his will?
6058But how shall we repeat the experiment? 6058 But how would you do it?"
6058But if it does not, Hesden?
6058But if my explanation is thus far sufficient, will you allow me to sit down while I tell you the rest? 6058 But suppose I were?"
6058But suppose these states should refuse to submit to such inspection, or accept such appropriation?
6058But suppose-- suppose there should not be; what would be the effect?
6058But was there no equivalent system of local self- government in those states?
6058But whar''bouts in de house yer gwine ter put him, Marse Hesden?
6058But what about Red Wing?
6058But what can you do? 6058 But what for?
6058But what have you in that bundle, Captain?
6058But what reason can you give for this belief?
6058But what then?
6058But what yer gwine ter do wid de ole house?
6058But what, my dear?
6058But why not, Nimbus?
6058But why should this affect you?
6058But you are not a Radical?
6058But you are not bound to do that?
6058But you did n''t lick Ben, did you, Berry?

6058Did n''t they tell you you''d be worse off with the Yankees than you were with them?
6058Did n''t you believe them?
6058Did what?
6058Did you ever know anything about his family there?
6058Did you ever know anything mean or disreputable about him?
6058Did you ever see such a change?
6058Did you know him then?
6058Did''Gena get away, Nimbus?

6058Do they keep up their former intimacy?
6058Do you accept the terms?
6058Do you hang it right up after cutting?
6058Do you know whether he ever corresponded with any of our relatives at the North?
6058Do you mean it?
6058Do you mean that you are not accustomed as I am to invalidism, and hardly like the notion of supping in bed as an introduction to strangers? 6058 Do you think so, Hesden?"
6058Do you think-- that-- that this will is genuine?
6058Does she know her good luck?

6058Have n''t you got anything to drink, Ware?
6058Have you any further complaint to make against Colonel Desmit?
6058Have you owned him long?

6058Is she long or short, fat or lean, dark or fair? 6058 Is that all?"

6058Keep it up? 6058 Lick him?
6058Likely critter, ai n''t it?
6058Marse Desmit?
6058Marse Hesden, does yer mind de loft ober de ole dinin''-room, whar we all used ter play ob a Sunday?
6058Marse Hesden,whispered the colored man, laying a hand trembling with excitement on his shoulder as he came near,"is yer a friend ter''Liab Hill?"
6058Mean? 6058 Might he not have meant any or all of these?"
6058Miss Mollie,he said, tenderly,"will you forgive my not coming before?"
6058Nimbus owns the land, do n''t he?
6058Nimbus what?
6058Nimbus what?
6058Nimbus? 6058 Nimbus?
6058Nimbus?
6058No more tain''t, Nimbus; but do n''t yer s''pose yer Marse Potem''s smartly worried over it?
6058No, Miss Mollie, but do n''t yer know dat de Ku Kluckers ai n''t a- gwine ter fergit it?
6058No? 6058 No?
6058No? 6058 Nothing else?
6058Now what''s de use o''votin''agin dat? 6058 Now you, Berry,"said Nimbus, extending his hand heartily,"what for yer no tell me dis afore?"
6058Now, Cousin Nimbus, yer ai n''t in airnest, is yer? 6058 Now, Nimbus, have n''t I always been a good master to you?"
6058Oh, Bre''er Nimbus, yer do n''t mean dat now?
6058Oh, hold on,said Desmit;"how old is it, Lorency?"
6058Oh, my son, what does she know of family pride?
6058Oh, why-- why, Hesden, should she do that? 6058 Only one?"
6058P''litical trouble?
6058Perhaps so,good- naturedly, taking back the certificate;"what do you want me to write?"
6058Poor but honest?
6058Pshaw, now,said Nimbus,"''what sort o''way is dat ter hev things?
6058Reckon you hardly expected me to day?
6058Robbed, did he say?
6058Run away?
6058Say dat agin'', wo n''t yer, Mahs''r?
6058She was a Lomax-- Margaret Lomax, I believe?'' 6058 Sho, sho, Berry,"replied Nimbus, reproachfully;"what makes Sally sech a big fool?
6058Sis,he said, calling her by the pet name of their childhood,"what day of the month is it?"
6058So hit appears; but ai n''t it quare dat I should hev ole Mahs''r''s name widout his gibbin''it ter me, ner my axin''fer it, Mister?
6058So you really think,said the Northerner dubiously,"that such a measure would produce good results even in the present generation?"
6058So you''s done put in dat name-- Desmit?
6058So: you''re the curer at Knapp- of- Reeds, I believe?
6058Sued you? 6058 Sure?
6058Tell the truth, Berry; when did you eat last?
6058That? 6058 The first name he ever knew?
6058Then why are you doing this? 6058 Then why did n''t you take your old mahs''r''s name, like de rest, and not have all dis trouble?"
6058Then,said the old man,"what''s we ter do fer a libbin''?
6058They say your name is Desmit-- Nimbus Desmit,said the officer;"is that so?"
6058Think? 6058 Tink so, Bre''er Nimbus?
6058To return-- when?
6058Very true; but why should not the Nation distribute a like bounty upon the same system? 6058 Wal now, ai n''t dat cool?
6058Wal, now, that was kind of him, was n''t it?
6058Wal,continued Lugena,"do n''t yer see?
6058Wal,''Gena?
6058Want a blank?
6058War that yours, misther?
6058Was he a slave? 6058 Was he then alive?"
6058Was it Marblehead?
6058Was my grandfather a bachelor when he came here?
6058Was n''t that your old master''s name?
6058Was that the way this was bought?
6058Was that you, Nimbus?
6058Well, I thought you were sure that Nimbus was safe?
6058Well, Lorency, Mr. Ware says you have made me a present since I was here?
6058Well, did you ever know anything disreputable about_ me?_keenly.
6058Well, did you find any descendants of this''Red Jim''living?
6058Well, ma''am,said the sheriff,"what do you think should be done now?"
6058Well, on whose land do you work?
6058Well, then, ai n''t it yours too?
6058Well, then, that''s yours, ai n''t it-- your surname-- Nimbus Desmit?
6058Well, were n''t you saucy, Nimbus? 6058 Well, what did I do?
6058Well, what else?
6058Well, what is her name, and when does she wish to take possession?
6058Well, what is it?
6058Well, what then? 6058 Well, why was it?"
6058Well, would you do me a good turn to pay for that?
6058Well,said Hesden,"did you connect him with this will?"
6058Well,said Hesden,"have you found the heirs?"
6058Well,said the clerk as he took up his pen and prepared to fill out the blank,"what is your name?"
6058Well?
6058Well?
6058Well?
6058Well?
6058Well?
6058Well?
6058Wh-- what?

6058What are these reports I hear about you, Hesden?
6058What de wah ebber take from you, Mister Dossey, only jes yer oberseer''s whip? 6058 What did they say?"
6058What did they say?
6058What did you come here for?
6058What do you mean by''bulking it down''?
6058What do you mean to do?
6058What do you mean, Charles?
6058What do you mean, Nimbus?
6058What do you mean?
6058What do you say, Hesden? 6058 What do you want now, gal?"
6058What do you want to do?
6058What do you want, sir?
6058What does it mean? 6058 What else did yer tink Berry mean, hey?
6058What else? 6058 What has put you in this strange mood, Eliab?"
6058What have you done with that snivelling hop- toad minister?
6058What is dis ting, anyhow, Marse Sheriff?
6058What is it, Mahs''r?
6058What is it?
6058What is your name?
6058What may that have been?
6058What wages d''ye git?
6058What was he like?
6058What was your old master''s name?
6058What you know''bout poll- tax, Berry?
6058What you tink ob dis ting,''Liab?
6058What you wants ob dat, Miss Mollie?
6058What''s the gal''s name?
6058What''s the matter?
6058What''s this all about?
6058What''s your name?
6058What''s your name?
6058What''ud I sell out an''leave for? 6058 What, Berry?"
6058What, sir? 6058 What,"said Hesden, with a start;"what did you say is the name of the heir?"
6058When did this matter of the stick occur?
6058When do you say you saw him?
6058When?
6058When?
6058Where are you going?
6058Where are you going?
6058Where did you come from?
6058Where did you live?
6058Where do you live?
6058Where have you been since?
6058Where is the new- ground this year?
6058Where is''Liab Hill?
6058Where was he then?
6058Where was it?
6058Where''s that?
6058White?
6058Who do you work for?
6058Who ebber seed a man walkin''''roun''wid his head split wide open afo''?
6058Who ever saw such a thunder- cloud?
6058Who is at the head of it?
6058Who is that?
6058Who is there?
6058Who is with her?
6058Who''s dar?
6058Who''s there?
6058Whose ter hender my talkin'', I''d like ter know? 6058 Why ca n''t ye dhrive?
6058Why can I not drive on?
6058Why did you not write to me?
6058Why do n''t you tell us the name of the heir, Captain? 6058 Why do you say that?
6058Why do you say that?
6058Why do you say''strong,''mother?
6058Why should I?
6058Why should I?
6058Why so?
6058Why so?
6058Why, Nimbus, what is this you tell me? 6058 Why, how could that be?"
6058Why, how is that,''Gena?
6058Why, mother, what is it?
6058Why, they hold the League meetings there, do n''t they?
6058Why, what do yer want ter lib dar fer?
6058Why, what do you mean?
6058Why, what does dis mean, Berry?
6058Why, what''s de matter wid yer, Cynthy?
6058Why, you do n''t think he''s hurt-- not seriously, do you?
6058Why? 6058 Will yer come wid me, Marse Hesden-- slip on yer clo''es an''come wid me, jist a minnit?"
6058Will you be my trustee?
6058Will you please read it, sah? 6058 Will you promise me one thing?"
6058Would he let you approach him?
6058Would it cause her less were I to refuse what she has so delicately given?
6058Would you like me to-- to stay-- until-- until this is over?
6058Yer a''n''t a gwine ter take sech a present ez dis from a pore cullud gal an''not so much ez giv''her someting ter remember hit by, is yer?
6058Yer do n''t mean ter say yer''d go an''leave us fer good, does yer, Miss Mollie?
6058Yer do n''t mean yer gwine ter run away on de''count ob dese yer Ku Kluckers, does yer, Berry?
6058Yer do n''t say so, Nimbus?
6058Yer do n''t tink so? 6058 Yer hain''t seen no ghosteses nor nuffin'', bez ye?"
6058Yer hain''t turned politician, hez yer?
6058Yes, Bre''er Nimbus, but who''s a- gwine ter s''port''em while we''s waitin''fer de white folks ter back down, I wants ter know?
6058Yes, here it is, sure''nough, Nimbus; but did n''t you promise me you would n''t have so many names?
6058Yes, ma''am, I hears; but whar you gwine, Miss Mollie?
6058Yes, sah?
6058Yes,said the clerk, just glancing up, but not intermitting his work;"what do you want?"
6058Yes,was the reply, after a thoughtful pause;"but would not that necessitate a National supervision of State schools?"
6058Yes?
6058You accept the proposal then?
6058You are not likely to lose by it then, in any event?
6058You are quite right, Berry,said Hesden;"but what do_ you_ say is the reason you have come away from the South?"
6058You do n''t mean it, Charles?
6058You do n''t say so? 6058 You do n''t say?
6058You do n''t think they would hurt you-- a woman?
6058You do n''t think, now, that it''s any harm to talk that way before niggers and set them against the white people either, I suppose?
6058You do not think a Richards could have been so dishonorable as to rob his cousin''s orphans?
6058You have adopted, then, the Fourth of July remedy for all national ills?
6058You knows what sort uv a wuk- hand I is in de crap, Bre''er Nimbus?
6058You mean the Peabody Fund?
6058You say you have no complaint to make about that affair?
6058You see dat_ dis_charge?
6058You see dem clo''es? 6058 You think I have said enough?"
6058You think he never wrote?
6058You will have him now, and will prize him for my sake, will you not, Sis?
6058You will leave here, then?
6058You, Nimbus?
6058You?
6058You?
6058Your trustee in what?
6058_ Do n''t_ yer see, Miss Mollie,said the woman impatiently,"dat dey could n''t hab got''em bofe togedder,''cept Berry had found Nimbus fust?"
6058_ Registered_, you mean, I suppose?
6058_ Send_ it to you?
6058_ Wal!_ Do n''t yer see dar would hev been a-- a--_terrible_ fight afore dem two niggas would hev gin up Bre''er''Liab, let alone derselves? 6058 ''Ai n''t dis yer my crap, Marse Hooper? 6058 ''An''when I tole him he sez,''You know who dat is? 6058 ''Bout dat fight?
6058''D''ye heah dat shot,''Gena?
6058''Sides dat, dey''s got de bosses an''de guns, an''de''sperience; an''what we got?
6058''Spose all de white men in Ho''sford is agin us, what''s we gwine ter do?
6058--jes so;''do n''t yer know hit''s in de papers dat ef yer do n''t''bey me an''wuk obedient ter my wishes, yer do n''t git nary cent, nohow at all?''
6058After a moment he half raised it and said, weakly,"Will you please call Nimbus, Miss Mollie?
6058After a moment''s pause he continued,"Are you willing that I should give Miss Ainslie any statement I may choose of this matter?"
6058After many attempts he wrote as follows:"Miss MOLLIE AINSLIE:"Will you permit me to come and see you, upon the conditions imposed when I saw you last?
6058Ai n''t I ez free ez he is?"
6058Ai n''t I well''nough off whar I is?"
6058Ai n''t what yer''s been a- tellin''on him brekfas''an''dinner an''supper ter him?
6058An''ef we does, ai n''t it jest a shiftin''ub han''s?
6058An''how''s he lef ole Missus an''de gals, I wonder?"
6058An''whar''s Nimbus an''de chillen?"
6058An''who yer tink tuk keer ob me den, Marse Hesden?"
6058An''you de minister?
6058And how did the white brothers and sisters of these messengers of a matchless benevolence receive them?
6058And the crops?"
6058And then-- what came afterward?"
6058And what has he gained?
6058Are we afraid that he will grow wiser than we?
6058Are we afraid to give him a chance to do so?
6058Are you not making that inquiry too soon?"
6058As she did so a cry burst from her lips, and she said,"Oh, Hesden, Hesden, where did you get it?
6058As they walked along the sheriff said,"Did you notice the horse that Yankee schoolmarm rode?"
6058Besides, why should I be juster than the law?
6058Boasting that we could outrun our adversary, would we hamstring him at the starting- post?
6058But could it be possible that a people, a race priding itself upon its superiority, should be unwilling or afraid to see the experiment fairly tried?
6058But whar''s ye gwine ter put''Liab, Marse Hesden?"
6058But what has that to do with the matter?
6058But what is your proposal?"
6058But when the freedman refuses to acknowledge the master''s name as his, who can impose it on him?
6058But where_ shall_ we put him?
6058But why do you give him that name?"
6058By the way, Captain, is it a boy or girl, and is it old or young?"
6058Ca n''t you read it?
6058Calling her serving woman, she asked impetuously:"Maggie, is your Master Hesden about the house?"
6058Can the South and the North ever be made one people in thought, spirit, and purpose?
6058Can you get him something to eat without making any stir?"
6058Can you stand it a few nights more?"
6058Could not intelligence cope with ignorance without fraud?
6058D''ye hear?
6058D''yer h''yer dat,''Liab?"
6058D''yer heah?''
6058D''yer know,''Gena, wuz enny on''em killed?"
6058D''yer see dat man dar, a- bleedin''an''a- groanin''?
6058D''yer see_ now_, Miss Mollie?"
6058Dar''s nobody''s got enny right ter gib me one, an''ef I choose one dis week what''s ter hender my takin''ob anudder nex week?"
6058Dat what yer ax?
6058Den he say,"''Who you b''long to, ennyhow, boy?''
6058Dey must hev a name, an''I mus''hev one ter gib''em, but how''s I gwine ter git one?
6058Did n''t I make it, jest a- payin''ter you one third on''t for de rent?''
6058Did n''t I tell yer dar wuz a good time comin''?"
6058Did n''t it ripen mighty uneven, Nimbus?"
6058Did n''t know it, did you?
6058Did n''t my words''spress demselves cl''ar?
6058Did they''buse you,''Gena?"
6058Did you ever hear anything agin''me outside of my politics?"
6058Did you ever hear of such a person as Edna Richards?"
6058Did you suppose we was going to sit still and let them burn and ravage without opposition?
6058Do n''t yer see he''s a talkin''to yer?"
6058Do n''t you think so, Hesden?"
6058Do n''t you think so, Maggie?"
6058Do tell us all about her?"
6058Do yer mean ter say dat Marse Sykes turn you uns offen his plantation while you''se all away, jes kase yer come ter de meetin''yesterday?"
6058Do you hear it, Hesden?
6058Do you hear that, Hesden?
6058Do you think you could ride him?"
6058Do you understand me now?"
6058Do you understand?"
6058Does it make ary difference-- at least enough ter speak on-- whether a white man hez his wuk done by one nigger er another?"
6058Does you read all de papers yer signs, Squar''Nimbus?
6058Dunno?
6058Ef we leave one man, how''s we gwine ter git wuk wid anodder?
6058Got a half- dollar?"
6058HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE?
6058HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE?
6058HOW?
6058Had n''t we better just set the cabin afire and let it burn?"
6058Had she not lived in the old"Or''nary,"taught in their school, advised, encouraged, and helped them?
6058Hain''t I been a- sojerin''nigh onter two year now?
6058Hain''t I he d pay an''bounty, an''rations too?
6058Hain''t I jes''de same right ter talk ez you er Marse Sykes, an''would n''t you call me a damn rascal ef I''d done ez he did?
6058Has he sued me?"
6058Hath the bird spoken?
6058Have you any baggage?"
6058Have you any solution to offer?"
6058Have you lost all spirit since you became a Radical?"
6058He came with his hat in his hand, saying respectfully,"How d''ye, Marse Desmit?"
6058He dragged Nimbus through the crowd to intercept his wife, crying out as soon as they came near:"H''yer, you Sally Ann, what yer tinks now?
6058He had not quite looked for her to be so calm, and he was almost annoyed by it; so dropping her hand, he said, weakly,"Shall I never see you again?"
6058He had set before him this problem:"New England Puritanism and Southern Prejudice; how shall they be reconciled?"
6058He says you and''Liab enticed away his servant-- what''s his name?
6058He was answered after a moment''s delay by a colored woman, who came out from the kitchen and exclaimed,"Who''s dah?"
6058He would come and ask, and she-- would give?
6058Hers?
6058Hesden refuses to be my heir, and you refuse to be my devisee; must I give it to the poor?"
6058Hesden''s?
6058Hesden, are you mad?
6058Hev you ebber ben ter de school, Mr. Sheriff?
6058How I gwine ter know what''s in dat paper, hey?
6058How are you, and how have you left all at home?"
6058How can such a girl think of associating with niggers and teaching a nigger school?
6058How can you know the meanings of words, and yet not apprehend the thought conveyed?"
6058How could he ask her to come where sneers and insults awaited her?
6058How could he endure insults upon his love?
6058How could he?
6058How could she face sneers?
6058How d''ye do, Mahs''r?"
6058How did your first barn cure up, Nimbus?"
6058How funny that you should strike upon the very name?"
6058How should I be?
6058How would it do for a polling- place?"
6058How''s dat fer cousinin'', eh?
6058How''s that, Nimbus?"
6058How''s we gwine ter s''port dem widout home or wuk?"
6058How, pray, was it done at the North?
6058How?
6058I hope the stock and hands are in good condition?"
6058I say, old fellow, when did you leave the ark?"
6058I thought I''d ax, if ye should git in a notion of selling, what yer''d take fer yer place here?"
6058I wonder if they did n''t bring over niggers too?"
6058I wonder why it is that cripples are always so queer, anyhow?"
6058Is it a Kurnel ye is, an''do n''t know that?
6058Is it a signature?
6058Is that enough, sir?
6058Is this woman able to give away such a fortune?"
6058It is evident that they have not been in the past; can they become so in the future?
6058It would perhaps be well for countries which are to- day wrestling with the question:"What shall we do with our poor?"
6058It''ll do you a power of good-- you an''yours-- but what good wud it do if a poor crippled feller like me he d it?
6058It''s very partickler the General is about insthructin''us ter ax the names of thim that''s wantin''an''inthroduction to him, ye know?"
6058Jes let''em know I''m on der way, will yer?
6058Jest ez I''d got de basket nigh''bout full, who should start up dar, outen de bushes, on''y jes Marse Hooper; an''he sez, mighty brisk- like,''So?
6058Just as they stepped upon the bridge Desmit heard a lank Hoosier ask,"What is in them bar''ls?"
6058Just to shield my father''s name?"
6058Le Moyne to her son, as he sat by her bedside while she read this letter,"will you not write to Miss Ainslie?"
6058Le Moyne''s health such as to permit her considering this matter now?"
6058Le Moyne, to make such a measure of present interest in the cure of present evils?"
6058Le Moyne,"said the former, after a long and thoughtful pause,"is there any remedy for these things?
6058Le Moyne,"were you in earnest in what you said yesterday in regard to receiving any benefits under this deed?"
6058Le Moyne?"
6058Le Moyne?"
6058Listen at him now?"
6058Married or single?"
6058May I ask to whom it belongs?"
6058May I hope that he will be known henceforth only as Midnight?
6058No?
6058None?"
6058Nothing very bad, I hope?"
6058Now what I want ter change it fer, er what I want ob enny mo''?
6058Now what''s yer gwine ter do''bout it?
6058Now you heah dat, do n''t yer?"
6058Now, Miss Mollie, what yer s''pose hez come ob dat ar mule an''carryall?
6058Now, do n''t yer know dat ef he was dead dey would n''t be a suin''on him an''a swearin''he''d run away?"
6058Now, how''s we gwine ter lib during dat time?
6058Now, what''s we gwine ter do?
6058Now, what_ you_ think, Berry?"
6058One is inclined to ask, with a laugh,"Well, what of it?"
6058Opening the door he called out:"Who''s dar?"
6058Or is it your new- found cousin you feel so bad for?
6058Our grandfather, James Richards, came here from Pennsylvania, did he not?"
6058Please come out h''yer a minnit, wo n''t yer?"
6058Quick ez he look at it he say,''Whar you git dat, boy?
6058S''pose I take ole Marse War''s name ober dar?"
6058Sally, you jest interduce Cousin Nimbus ter de rest ob dis family, will yer?"
6058Say, how d''y''e like de soun''?
6058She looked at him and said,"You were very fond of your horse?"
6058She sez ter me, sez she,''Maggie, ebber you see anybody look so much like de Mistis made young again?''"
6058So she smiled artlessly, and said:"Only two days?
6058So what I lock de do''fer?
6058Stealin''corn, is yer?''
6058Still another said:"Will our people suffer a covert danger to rankle in their midst until it gains strength to burst into an open enemy?
6058Suppose I call you George Nimbus?"
6058The man was gathering up his reins when Nimbus said:"When did yer say ole Mahsr''s funeral was gwine ter be?"
6058The new song her lips had been taught to sing had made thin and weak every melody of the past, Shall care cumber the heart of the bride?
6058The sheriff nodded awkwardly to the ladies, as if doubtful how much deference it would do to display, said,"How d''ye,''Liab?"
6058The slip of paper which she held contained only the following apparently unintelligible scrawl:"And you never saw it but once?"
6058Then to the occupant of the carriage:"What did yer honor say might be yer name, now?
6058Then was Pharaoh greatly astonished, and he said, How is this?
6058Then, after a pause,"Do you know how I got him?"
6058Then, glancing quickly around, he said in a low, earnest voice:"Hez ye heerd from Red Wing lately, Miss Mollie?"
6058Thought you could go and take a man''s"hands"right out from under his nose, and not get into trouble about it, did n''t ye?"
6058Uncle Nimbus,"said Berry, very thoughtfully,"dat dis yer ting_ freedom_ waz a durn curus affair fer we cullud people, ennyhow?"
6058WHAT SHALL THE END BE?
6058WHAT SHALL THE END BE?
6058Wal, whar yer''spose dat''backer gone ter, hey?"
6058Ware''s?"
6058Ware?"
6058Ware?"
6058Warn''t you better off as a slave than I am free?"
6058Was any one else hurt?"
6058Was she not_ their_ Miss Mollie?
6058We ai n''t proud, not a bit proud, Bre''er Nimbus, an''yer ai n''t a gwine ter forgit us, is yer?
6058We''s got ter lib an''so''s our wives an''chillens?
6058Well, Desmit is your surname, then, ai n''t it?"
6058Well, now, mister, do n''t you know that the General is too nervous to see company to- day?
6058Whar''is Sally?"
6058Whar''s we gwine ter lib?
6058What YOU gwine ter do''bout dis yer matter, Uncle''Liab?"
6058What am I to my race?
6058What are you going to do, Brother Berry?
6058What are you here for, anyhow?
6058What can that have to do with this horrid matter?"
6058What can you do?--what can you do?"
6058What did the bird say unto thee?
6058What does dis mean?
6058What does it all mean anyhow?
6058What does it mean, Miss Mollie?"
6058What good did fightin''er prayin''either used ter do in ole slave times?
6058What is his history?"
6058What is this thing anyhow?"
6058What makes you think there is anything to be known about it?"
6058What reason was there for complaint or apprehension, on his part?
6058What right I got ter his name?
6058What was your old master''s name?"
6058What will I do, Miss Mollie, what will I do?
6058What wonder that it was ravished from their care?
6058What would not the newspapers give to know that of you, Hesden?"
6058What yer gwine ter do''bout it, Nimbus?"
6058What yer s''pose dem fer,''Liab?
6058What yer say now, you Sally Ann, ai n''t yer''shamed fer what yer sed''bout Bre''er Nimbus only dis yere mornin''?"
6058What yer tinks ob dat now?"
6058What yer''spect it mout be, cousin?"
6058What you say to him, you little fool?''
6058What you say, now?"
6058What you tinks on''t,''Liab?"
6058What''ll I do?
6058What''ll I do?"
6058What''s de use?
6058What''s he ebber done, I''d like ter know, ter be debbled roun''dis yer way?
6058When he had finished, she said,"And you say the land mentioned there is the plantation you now occupy?"
6058Where are you from?"
6058Where do you think?"
6058Where is''Liab?
6058Where_ did_ you get it?
6058Who or what could interfere with my right?"
6058Who''s Berry ebber hurt?
6058Who''se a better right, I''d like ter know?

6058Why did n''t yer say nuffin''''bout bein''registered yo''self, eh?
6058Why did n''t you go out of the room when I begged you to?
6058Why do n''t you go back to the Yankees that you ran away to?
6058Why do you ask all these questions?
6058Why not?"
6058Why should she give up all this for our sakes?"
6058Why, Hesden, what_ do_ you mean?
6058Why, does the girl propose to give away all this magnificent property for nothing?"
6058Why?
6058Why?"
6058Will they stand idly and supinely, and witness the consummation of such an infamous conspiracy?
6058Will they tamely submit while Hesden Le Moyne rallies the colored men to his standard and hands over Horsford to the enemy?
6058Will yer go, sinner- mans?
6058Will yer go?
6058Will you allow me to do so?"
6058Will you be my wife?"
6058Will you hear me?"
6058Work?
6058Would n''t you have done that to a nigger that called you a''grand rascal''to your face?"
6058Would one of you be kind enough to go for a doctor?"
6058Would ye like an inthroduction, Kurnel?"
6058Yer do n''t know Nimbus''s gwine away, does yer?
6058Yer do n''t mean dat, pop- suah, does yer now?"
6058Yer do n''t s''pose Nimbus am a- gwine ter turn thief at dis day, does yer?"

6058You are not discouraged?"
6058You are not in debt?"
6058You are sure he had never married before?"
6058You damned black rascal, do you stand there and tell me I owe her anything?"
6058You do n''t think he has the fever, do you?"
6058You do n''t want dem to be different from others and have no surname?"
6058You hear dat, Nimbus?"
6058You hear dat,''Liab?
6058You rascal, do you threaten me with the''Bureau''?"
6058You told her, I suppose?"
6058You were n''t hurt, were you?"
6058_ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?"
6058_ Nimbus Ware?_ Where did you get dat name?"
6058asked the sheriff, casting his eye over the field;"forty thousand?"
6058asked,"Want ary boy, Mahs''r?"
6058cried Nimbus, his distress overcoming his fear,"is you hurt bad?
6058cried a voice from the midst of a group of those first arriving,"how yer do dis mornin''?
6058ha: what else?"
6058he asked of Berry,"Baggage?
6058he cried,"do you expect me to flinch at the thought of danger?
6058he cried,"is it-- can it be our Miss Mollie, or has Nimbus gone clean crazy wid de rest ob his misfortins?"
6058he made his Radicalism pay, did n''t he?
6058little-- what''s yer name?
6058said Berry,"what Berry want ob any brekfas''?
6058said Goodspeed, with some eagerness,"and what may that be?"
6058she exclaimed,"not the little nigger teacher at Red Wing?"
6058sinner- mans, will yer go?"
6058what yer gwine ter name him, Mahs''r?

6058will yer go?
6058wo n''t dat er be fun, jes makin''ole Mahs''r trot up ter de lick- log fer meanness ter a nigger?
6058you remember that, then?"
36666A few days ago?
36666A whole year?
36666About us----"How?
36666About what?
36666Afraid of you?
36666Ah, please?
36666All right-- now what do you think of that little scrimmage at the mouth of the harbor of Santiago yesterday? 36666 All right; when they have bought those farms and their sons and daughters are rich and cultured-- what then?"
36666Am I not worth waiting for?
36666An''I des has er little indiscretion----"Oh, you make me tired, how can I help a coward?
36666An''please, sah, wo n''t yer gimme jes a little advice befo''you go?
36666An''what''d you do, m''am?
36666And Cleo?
36666And I asked you if everything was all right at home?
36666And I feel the same-- isn''t it funny?
36666And his voice?
36666And how''s aunt Minerva?
36666And if I convince you,he went on tenderly,"you will submit yourself to my advice and leave America?"
36666And if a curse is branded on my forehead you''ll take its shame as yours?
36666And if you had been, sir?
36666And in your absence?
36666And it will not heal again?
36666And may I ask how?
36666And may I ask what you mean by that?
36666And my father?
36666And she''s''atter''you?
36666And the possibility of my meeting this girl never occurred to you? 36666 And these millions of children born in the shadows-- these mulattoes?"
36666And they are going straight to the Governor''s mansion?
36666And they walked right up?
36666And told you why?
36666And what did he say to the Committee?
36666And what did you expect?
36666And what happened?
36666And which horn of the dilemma do you take?
36666And whom would I imperil?
36666And why have you not told me before?
36666And why not?
36666And yet if you are human how could you dare defy the laws of man and God to bring about this marriage?
36666And you contemplate entering politics?
36666And you did n''t kill him?
36666And you find instead?
36666And you have n''t guessed?
36666And you like her personally?
36666And you propose to prevent that contact?
36666And you think that I will allow you to remain in my house after what has passed between us?
36666And you will dare such a program?
36666And you''re not afraid of me?
36666And you?
36666Are Tom and Miss Helen lovers?
36666Are you one of Norton''s men?
36666Beat her?
36666Because I do n''t like her, and her presence here may be very dangerous just now----"Dangerous-- what on earth can you mean?
36666But I did n''t say to throw them on the horse''s head, did I?
36666But I see you''ve come-- Cleo told you?
36666But if I came in vain, why at all?
36666But if I ever find her,he went on dreamily,"do you know what I''ll want?"
36666But suppose I convince you?
36666But suppose,he said quietly,"you should hate this man when you had met?"
36666But what the devil is the meaning of this silence, Schlitz?
36666But why continue to rouse the bitterness of racial feeling? 36666 But you did n''t?"
36666But, say, look here, brethren,Peeler pleaded between shattering teeth,"ca n''t we compromise this thing?
36666Ca n''t I hear what you have to say?
36666Ca n''t ye gimme a drink of somethin''? 36666 Can you trust her?"
36666Claim? 36666 Come now, gemmens,"he went on;"what''s de lowes''offer ye gwine ter start me fer dese folks?
36666Congress, under the iron rule of Stevens, will send them, I grant you----"Then why hesitate?
36666Dare?
36666De Lawdy, major, you ai n''t gwine off an''leave dese mint juleps lak dat, is ye?
36666Defend me with your life if the major attacks me to- night?
36666Demand?
36666Did Cleo find it out?
36666Did I?
36666Did my true love call?
36666Did she tell you that?
36666Did you guess that lie?
36666Did you miss me?
36666Did you speak to me?
36666Did you-- did you know any of my people, sir?
36666Dis yo''will, sah? 36666 Do n''t yer think my hair''s gittin''straighter, sah?"
36666Do n''t you think I do pretty well?
36666Do you know de way, sah?
36666Do you know that you''re the first boy I ever talked to in my life?
36666Do you know what''s in this note, Cleo?
36666Does any one else share it?
36666Does any one in this house suspect it?
36666Does it pain you?
36666Duty?
36666Even so, in a Democracy with equality as the one fundamental law of life, what are you going to do with them? 36666 Everything all right at home, Andy?"
36666Has Tom been back here during the past weeks to see Miss Helen?
36666Have I given you any such evidence during the past twenty years?
36666Have I?
36666Have n''t you a wife living, Andy?
36666Have n''t you been afraid of Cleo?
36666Have n''t you lied to me?
36666Have you a pin?
36666Have you got enough?
36666He asked me if Mr. Tom been back here in de past fo''weeks----"Asked if Tom had been back here?
36666He gave you no facts-- only these vague warnings?
36666He has always known the truth and now that I am of age he has told me----"Told you what?
36666He voted for you?
36666Hey?
36666His platform?
36666How can it be wrong, this solemn pledge of life and love, of body and soul?
36666How dare you insult me?
36666How did he open it?
36666How late?
36666How long since those men left the jail?
36666How many hours have they usually spent together?
36666How much have you used?
36666How on earth can you work in such a mess?
36666How you could willfully and deliberately do this beastly thing?
36666How?
36666How?
36666How?
36666I merely asked, have you a pin?
36666I propose to raise immediately an army of fifty thousand loyal white men, arm and drill them without delay----"Where''ll you get them?
36666I say, may I come in?
36666I thought you were coming for that?
36666I thought you''d been telling me?
36666I trust you will not find yourself unhappy or embarrassed in remaining here alone until we return?
36666I want to know why you began this campaign at all?
36666I wonder why you wo n''t let me work here?
36666I wonder why?
36666I''m going back-- but I''ll give her up and let you educate her in a convent on one condition----"What?
36666I''m going to do my level best to prove myself worthy of the big faith you''ve shown in me-- but why have you done it? 36666 I''m not going back home----""Why not?"
36666I''m wondering----"What?
36666If you''se''lected?
36666Important business here?
36666In case anything happens to me before it ends----Tom bent close:"What do you mean?"
36666In what respect?
36666In what?
36666In which category you place the author of a certain book, I suppose?
36666Insult you, is I?
36666Into the Capitol Square?
36666Is her home life clean?
36666Is it possible?
36666Is my work nothing to you?
36666Is she still hysterical?
36666Is that all?
36666It must have been deep-- what duty?
36666It was quite dark----"What time?--eight, nine, ten or eleven o''clock?
36666It''s a waste of breath for you to talk to me about this thing--he turned on her fiercely:"Why do you wish to go back there?
36666It''s all right? 36666 It''s not bad news, I hope?"
36666It''s nothing to you?
36666Lord, I thought it was mush and milk-- I thought it was your supper!--don''t you eat no supper?
36666Major Norton, I believe?
36666Married? 36666 Mean it?
36666Miss Jean called me?
36666Mr. Tom want me ter tell de major ter- night? 36666 Must it be so dirty?"
36666My faith in him is too big----"You can conceive of no such barrier?
36666My father-- my mother-- they are living?
36666My father?
36666My hundred picked men are waiting?
36666My-- real-- relations?
36666Nasah!--But ai n''t dey no way dat I kin help ye, major? 36666 No, I just came to thank you for what you did and see if you would n''t let me work for you?"
36666No-- really?
36666No-- what?
36666No?
36666No?
36666No?
36666Nothing more?
36666Nothing of the sort-- isn''t this Buffalo creek?
36666Now I want to know what you''re up to? 36666 Now tell me, darling, how can I help you?"
36666Now, what I want to know is,the boy began,"what the devil you mean by pulling me out of bed this time of day?"
36666Now, what do you think of that?
36666Oh, God, will they never stop?
36666Oh, is that all?
36666Please let me clean this place up for you?
36666Really?
36666Say, man, is dat a hat er a bee- gum?
36666Scared-- who me? 36666 Shall I introduce you?"
36666She got an invitation?
36666Signed with your name?
36666So I am your servant? 36666 So Tom''s crazy about her?"
36666Sorry-- for what?
36666Suppose my father were a criminal?
36666Suppose,he said in a queer tone,"I tell you that the barrier between you is so real, so loathsome----""Loathsome?"
36666Tell me what it is?
36666The Klan_ is_ a band of lawless night raiders, is n''t it?
36666The big, wonderful love that comes to the human soul but once?
36666The other is the big physical enigma----"You mean?
36666The right to love----Norton broke into a bitter, angry laugh:"Are you demanding that I marry you?"
36666Then there may be a slender chance?
36666Then what could have been her motive?
36666Then what is it?
36666There are just two dangers----"What?
36666They did n''t even have to pack that nasty old gauze in it again-- were you very much scared waiting out there, Dan?
36666They returned late occasionally?
36666This is Major Norton?
36666To kill the Governor?
36666To- morrow morning, then? 36666 To_ allow_?"
36666Told her what?
36666Tom not come?
36666Too bad-- shall I get it for you?
36666Vaguely,Tom answered, and turning squarely on his father asked:"Would you mind telling me the whole truth about it?"
36666Was I staring?
36666We leave to- night on the midnight express----"You can do nothing more?
36666Well, I''m not-- so what''s the use? 36666 Well, doctor?"
36666Well, for heaven''s sake, why did n''t you let us know?
36666Well, is n''t it?
36666Well, what have you to do with that?
36666Well, what the devil do you want?
36666Well, why do you stare at me like that?
36666Well?
36666Well?
36666Well?
36666Were they alone?
36666What are you afraid of?
36666What are you standing there for?
36666What are you up to?
36666What can I do? 36666 What de matter wid me inside?"
36666What did he do?
36666What do you mean by that?
36666What do you mean?
36666What do you mean?
36666What do you want?
36666What does it mean?
36666What else do you expect?
36666What for?
36666What has happened, major?
36666What have you got your hat for?
36666What in the world''s that?
36666What is it?
36666What is it?
36666What is life worth since I know this leper''s shame? 36666 What is the meaning of this long absence you have planned?"
36666What makes your nose so flat, anyhow?
36666What on earth can that old scoundrel want with me? 36666 What on earth can they be talking about all this time?"
36666What on earth is it all about, I wonder?
36666What shall I do?
36666What sort of man do you think I am? 36666 What the devil''s the matter with me anyhow?"
36666What would I do?
36666What''s dangerous about the girl, I''d like to know?
36666What''s he doin''dar at dat desk?
36666What''s higher? 36666 What''s that roaring?"
36666What''s that you''ve written?
36666What''s the joke?
36666What''s the matter with Andy?
36666What''s the matter with Tom?
36666What''s the matter with you anyhow, you old fool, are you having fits?
36666What''s the matter?
36666What''s the matter?
36666What''s the meaning of this, sir?
36666What''s your mother''s name?
36666What''s-- what''s that?
36666What, dear?
36666What-- what are your real relations?
36666What-- what''s happened?
36666What-- what-- does this mean?
36666When do you think the major will come?
36666Where is she?
36666Where''ve you been?
36666Whiskey?
36666Who bin tryin''ter steal you?
36666Who dared to write such a letter without your knowledge?
36666Who is it?
36666Who knows? 36666 Who knows?"
36666Who taught you?
36666Who was the child''s mother?
36666Who''s in command of this crowd?
36666Who-- me?
36666Who? 36666 Why did you let them send me to school?
36666Why do n''t you?
36666Why do you ask?
36666Why do you hate me?
36666Why do you keep staring at me?
36666Why do you look so queerly at me? 36666 Why do you use that queer tone?
36666Why do you want to do this thing?
36666Why do you want to win?
36666Why do''oo cry?
36666Why have you avoided me to- night?
36666Why have you dared?
36666Why must you die, my boy?
36666Why not take the boy and go?
36666Why not?
36666Why not?
36666Why should he deceive me?
36666Why, sir?
36666Why, what''s the matter with him?
36666Why-- what-- do you-- mean?
36666Why-- why did you bring that girl into this house?

36666Ye hear dat, you fool nigger? 36666 Yes or no?"
36666Yes, Dan,she answered simply,"why do you ask?"
36666Yes, all men who are worth while----"How can you say that,the daughter cried with scorn,"and remember my father and grandfather?
36666Yes, is n''t it?
36666Yes----"Stunned? 36666 Yes?"
36666Yes?
36666Yes?
36666Yet there''s something pitiful about it after all, is n''t there, Tom?
36666You agree, major?
36666You ai n''t gwine ter be hard on''em, major?
36666You ain''hear what he bin er doin''wid dat pistol?
36666You allowed no one to learn the real reason of your visit, as I told you?
36666You are not deceiving me?
36666You are not mad at me for anything?
36666You are still afraid of me?
36666You are trying to leave me without a word?
36666You are_ stunned_?
36666You ca n''t mean this?
36666You did n''t hear that bell?
36666You did n''t invite her?
36666You do n''t hate me?
36666You do n''t mean it-- now?
36666You do n''t mean it?
36666You do n''t mean it?
36666You do n''t want me to go back home with the child, do you?
36666You do n''t want to see her?
36666You do n''t_ know_?
36666You have something to say-- what is it?
36666You impudent scoundrel, how dare you speak to me like this?
36666You know who wrote it?
36666You know-- all?
36666You know?
36666You left the hall to see her there?
36666You like this girl, my dear?
36666You lived on his place?
36666You love Tom-- he''s worth saving-- you''ll do as I ask and give him up?
36666You mean that he knows the truth? 36666 You never can tell what may happen in such a revolution----""It will be a revolution?"
36666You realize the fact that a man who marries a nameless girl bars himself from all careers of honor?
36666You really love me so?
36666You refuse to obey my orders?
36666You refuse?
36666You see, I''ve played this scene so many times in my day dreams----"And it''s like your dream?
36666You sent for me, major?
36666You think I can make good?
36666You think not?
36666You think so?
36666You think so?
36666You think that''s all?
36666You thought the major had you?
36666You took pains to leave them alone, I suppose?
36666You want me to interview you, Governor?
36666You were going to leave me and go alone to the speaker''s stand?
36666You will answer them now?
36666You will deprive me of my citizenship?
36666You wish me to swear it?
36666You wo n''t lock the door again?
36666You wo n''t? 36666 You''d be happier, you think, with me, dear?"
36666You''ll do anything for me?
36666You''ll pay no attention to my wishes?
36666You''re not mad at me for being there, are you? 36666 You''re not saying this to cheer me?
36666You''re sure Cleo did n''t find out?
36666You-- you-- don''t love another?
36666Your love is pure and unsullied?
36666Your relations to my servants?
36666Your_ rights_?
36666--Norton bent close with pleading eagerness:"And that next sentence, there, you can read it?
36666--he drew the arm around that she was holding back--"What is it?
36666--he paused and looked at her curiously--"And you love him?"
36666--she paused and her voice was trembling when she added--"It makes us all akin, does n''t it?"
36666--you-- you-- see why I have been so desperately in earnest?"
36666A door opened above and the boy answered:"Well?"
36666A small man could, yes-- but you?
36666A soldier is a man who obeys orders, draws his pay, and asks no questions----""And then what?"
36666A tear slowly stole down Helen''s flushed cheeks as she quietly asked:"Why-- why should you insult and shame me by asking that question?"
36666Accept my terms or fight?"
36666After all, had it not been inevitable?
36666Again Tom paused, watching keenly:"On the day you returned and found Helen here, you quarrelled with Cleo?"
36666Ai n''t I done tole you dat hit would all come out right ef I could des say de good word?
36666Ai n''t dat all right, sah?"
36666Am I to be fired without a chance?
36666An hour later he asked abruptly:"You have felt no return of the pain in your throat, dear?"
36666And I''ve always known that if the pain returned she''d die----""You knew that before we left home?"
36666And again came the deeper question-- can any man ever escape the consequences of his deeds?
36666And how''ll a contribution of fifty dollars each strike you?
36666And since when is this state under martial law?"
36666And so I came to ask-- oh, why-- why''ve you been foolin''with me?"
36666And the great fear that gripped your heart at the first mad cry of pain I gave?
36666And who am I to set bounds to his power?"
36666And you would dare give to a child such a mother?
36666Andy approached gingerly, glancing from side to side for the best way of retreat in case of emergency:"What''s the matter with you?"
36666Andy disregarded the shot, and prinked himself before the mirror:"Do n''t yer think my complexion''s gettin''little better, sah?"
36666Andy gasped, wrenching her arms away at last,"will yer des lemme say one word?"
36666Andy generously ignored her tone, bowed and handed her the magnolia:"Would you embellish yousef wid dis little posie, m''am?"
36666Andy glanced at him out of the corners of his rolling eyes:"Yer ai n''t gwine laugh at me-- is yer?"
36666Andy looked at him in astonishment and asked incredulously:"Who de debbil say you''se er scared of any nigger?
36666Andy looked at the tray and then at Norton:"Well, sah, yer ai n''t got no objections to me pizinin''mysef, is ye?"
36666Andy''s eyes were two white moons in the shadows as he cried through chattering teeth:"G-- g-- odder mighty-- what-- what''s de matter, major?"
36666Anything else?"
36666Are you made of stone-- have you no pity?
36666As she approached the corner of the settee the boy leaped up with a laugh:"Where have you been?"
36666At the mention of her name the fine old face softened and then his eyes flashed:"She is ill?"
36666Aunt Minerva?"
36666B- b- but fer Gawd''s sake what ye want wid er dead nigger?"
36666Between set teeth Norton growled:"And you think that I''ll submit?"
36666But an ex- Governor of the state ca n''t rush to meet the present Governor in his shirt- tail-- now, can he?"
36666But do you think your life will be safe?"
36666But had he?
36666But is it necessary?
36666But was it worth the risk?
36666But why ask me so disgusting a question?
36666But why should she be in Baltimore?
36666But would she listen?
36666But you shall never enter my house again----""Is it fair,"she pleaded,"to take everything from me and turn me out in the world alone?
36666But, Lordy, Mister Tom, yer des foolin''wid me-- yer ai n''t got nuttin''''gin yer ole partner, barrin''dem few little things?"
36666Ca n''t I go upstairs an''speak de good word ter Mister Tom now an''tell him hit''s all right?"
36666Can it serve any good purpose?
36666Can we afford it?"
36666Can you afford an act of such wanton cruelty in the hour of your triumph?
36666Cleo drew back with amazement at the prostrate figure:"What on earth''s the matter?"
36666Cleo glanced at him:"You were about to tell me something that you heard in Norfolk?"
36666Cleo leaned close:"You''ll die for me?"
36666Cleo looked at him in amazement, suppressed an angry exclamation and asked:"What''s that band playing for?"
36666Cleo moved a step closer:"The major has won?"
36666Cleo moved impatiently and glared at the tray:"What on earth did you bring all that stuff for?
36666Cleo paused with a frown:"What''s the matter?
36666Cleo quickly entered, turned the key and in earnest tones, her eyes dancing excitedly, asked:"You are really packing your trunk?"
36666Cleo spoke with stern appeal:"Well, you''re a man; you''ll know how to defend yourself next time, wo n''t you?"
36666Cleo''s voice dropped suddenly to pleading tones:"You''re not going to suggest such an idea to him?"
36666Could any man with red blood in his veins fight successfully a force like that?
36666Could he do it?
36666Could he do this?
36666Could it be possible that he heard aright?
36666Could she have helped it?
36666Could they have dared to ride so early that they had reached the house before his arrival?
36666De major try ter kill me-- he''s er regular maniacker-- gone wild----""What about?"
36666Did I ever want you?
36666Did a pin stick you-- or maybe a flea bit you?"
36666Did not such a position of daily intimate physical contact-- morning, noon and night-- mean just this?
36666Did old Andy find out I slipped in last week?"
36666Did you look at her closely again?"
36666Do n''t yer min''de time dat big yaller nigger cum down here from de Norf er castin''circumflexions on our church?
36666Do you know what the Governor of North Carolina said once upon a time to the Governor of South Carolina?"
36666Do you know what you''re doing?"
36666Do you think he''s been really making love to Miss Helen?"
36666Do you think it possible?"
36666For the first time in his life he asked himself a startling question:"Do I really need him?"
36666Forbid?
36666Goodness-- haven''t you anything to put the flowers in?"
36666Had he made the world sweeter and more beautiful?
36666Had he the right to be angry with her?
36666Have I broken the law?
36666Have n''t I a heart that can ache and break and cry for joy?"
36666Have n''t I taken my stand squarely on Nature and her highest law?"
36666Have you lost your senses?"
36666He ax yer ter see me?"
36666He bent low and softly repeated:"You''ll do as I ask now, and give him up?"
36666He breathed deeply and then spoke quietly:"You-- you knew they were married?"
36666He could hear Andy now as he slipped up to him afterward, grinning and chuckling and whispered:"Lordy, man, why did n''t ye holler?
36666He dropped his voice to a careless, friendly tone:"They have seen each other every day?"
36666He edged close and dropped his voice to the oiliest whisper:"You''ll say dat good word now to Miss Cleo right away, sah?"
36666He ended his recital with the burning question:"Tell me now, doctor, honestly before God, did I kill her?"
36666He giggled and asked:"Ye do n''t need no boy fer nothin, do ye?"
36666He had just finished his revision of the last paragraph when a deep, laughing voice beside his chair slowly said:"May I come in?"
36666He ignored her interruption and went on evenly:"How many times did he come?"
36666He lit inter dem po''white trash lak er thousand er brick----""Give''em what Paddy gave the drum, I suppose?"
36666He looked at her and turned pale:"It''s bothering you this morning?"
36666He looked at her with a great pity in his heart and when at last she spoke her voice was scarcely a whisper:"My father and mother were married?"
36666He looked at her, dropped the hat, picked it up and stammered:"W- w- why-- Miss Minerva, is dat you?"
36666He returned to her chair and bent over her:"You wo n''t stop to change your dress, you''ll get your hat and coat and go just as you are-- at once?"
36666He searched her black face keenly:"Did Tom slip back here to see Miss Helen while I was away on this last trip?"
36666He seized her arms:"Why are you so excited?
36666He shook his head threateningly when he caught his breath:"Look a here, m''am, is dat de way yer gwine spessify my welcome?"
36666He signed and sealed the document and handed it to his waiting guest:"Is that satisfactory?"
36666He smiled wanly and tried to assume a purely platonic tone:"Wuz yer ebber in love, Miss Minerva?"
36666He spoke without looking up:"You know the road to Schlitz''s house?"
36666He sprang to his feet:"Had to keep it-- you say that to me?"
36666He stammered, reddened and then turned pale:"Why-- why-- naturally----""If you are innocent-- why not?"
36666He threw up his hands with a gesture of disgust and resumed his seat:"What is it?"
36666He turned on her angrily:"How dare you?"
36666He waited a moment and spoke in quiet determined tones:[ Illustration:"''I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?''"]
36666He was just in time as he softly approached behind a trellis of climbing roses to hear Tom say:"Please give me that bud you''re wearing?"
36666He wheeled and hurled himself at her:"What?"
36666He''s going to live-- isn''t he?"
36666Helen does n''t know?"
36666Helen drew closer as if for shelter and clung to his hand wistfully:"It does seem a horrible joke, does n''t it?
36666Helen faced him with strained eagerness:"You swear that no stain on my father or mother can ever make the least difference between us?"
36666Helen laughed:"What?"
36666Helen turned with a start:"Even if the man I love should know all?"
36666Helen, smiling through her tears, asked:"What are you saying?
36666Her voice broke in a sob, she pulled herself together, straightened her figure and cried:"Now what are you going to do?
36666Her voice was full of simple, earnest pleading:"De Lordy, major, what''s de use?
36666His eyes are n''t blue?"
36666His eyes burned into hers:"And you, too, have known this for weeks?"
36666His face clouded with a scowl:"She''s here?"
36666His voice was the gentlest whisper:"Guess?"
36666How can you prevent it?"
36666How could she help it now?
36666How dare you use such words to me in the presence of the woman I love?"
36666How''s that for a Fourth of July celebration?
36666I ask it of a veteran of the Confederate army?"
36666I could n''t well talk to her before all those guests----""Why not?"
36666I felt it this mornin''as I walked through them crowds-- and comin''back to this coffin, major, the question is-- what shall I do to be saved?"
36666I git holt er a little secret o''yourn dat gimme courage----""A secret of mine?"
36666I haul off an''biff''i m right in the jaw----""And you''re going to ask Cleo to marry you?"
36666I have a better plan----""What?"
36666I interviewed old Peeler on the revolution in politics and its effects on the poor whites of the state----""You saw her?"
36666I must know the truth without reservation-- how far has this thing gone?"
36666I must prove to you that Helen_ is_ a negress----"A sudden terror crept into the young eyes:"You-- you have the proofs?"
36666I reckon you can guess my secret?"
36666I sez ter myself, now folks he''s gwine ter magnify----"Tom laughed:"Magnified, did he?"
36666I stan''dar waitin''fer''i m ter git up an''come ergin, an''what ye reckon he done?"
36666I want to know exactly what you mean?"
36666I''ll des pick up er few odd jobs till you say de word-- you wo n''t fergit me?"
36666I''ll go with you to- morrow and verify the records----"Cleo laughed:"You do n''t think I''m joking about her birth?"
36666I''m sorry----"She clung to his hand with desperate pleading and pressed close to him:"But you wo n''t send me away?"
36666I''se gwine tell yer somfin''now----""Well?"
36666I_ dare_ you-- do you hear?"
36666If Helen is really your child, why did you give her up so easily that day?"
36666If I go an outcast you would go with me?"
36666If what you say about Helen is true, in God''s name-- I ask it out of a heart quivering with anguish-- why have n''t you realized it before?
36666In half an hour Tom looked into the doctor''s face:"Why, it''s Doctor Williams?"
36666In his shirt sleeves he thrust his head out the door:"Who is it?"
36666In spite of an effort at self- control, Norton broke into a peal of laughter:"It does look serious, does n''t it?"
36666Is any progress that degrades the breed of men progress at all?
36666Is his labor worth more than the purity of our racial stock?
36666Is it not mere wanton cruelty?
36666Is it not retrogression?
36666Is n''t there a thing to put the flowers in?"
36666It''s a bargain, is n''t it?"
36666It''s a nightmare----"Suddenly he asked:"What did she do when you told her?"
36666It''s getting dark and nobody saw me----"The editor frowned and moved uneasily"You''re alone, are n''t you?"
36666Marriage is impossible-- yes----""And if I only wish for marriage?"
36666Minerva fidgeted, hesitated again and finally said:"Once he stay about er hour----""And the other time?"
36666Minerva nudged him slyly:"Wuz I?"
36666Minerva''s eyes walled in amazement:"No?"
36666Minerva, who had been listening and watching with the keenest interest, pressed forward and asked in a whisper:"Yassah, but whar''s you gwine ter be?
36666Miss Helen''s young, beautiful, sweet and good-- won''t ye let me plead fer''em, sah?"
36666Must I use my foot to emphasize it?"
36666Nasah, dey''s sumfin else de matter wid de major----""What?"
36666Norton advanced and glared at her:"What?"
36666Norton bent close:"How long did he stay?"
36666Norton bit his lips to keep back an oath:"How often have they been riding?"
36666Norton drew back in amazement:"You mean to tell me that you do n''t know that they are married?"
36666Norton fixed him with a stern look:"Has Tom been back here during the past four weeks?"
36666Norton laughed and quietly said:"Well, Andy?"
36666Norton paused and looked sharply at Tom:"Was-- that-- Helen?"
36666Norton quietly recovered himself and replied angrily:"Do I look as if I were dying?"
36666Norton recognized the young cabinet- maker''s voice, and spoke in low tense tones:"By whose authority are you using these disguises, to- night?"
36666Norton smiled:"Did you look in my big cedar box?"
36666Norton smiled:"You wish to see me?"
36666Norton turned a puzzled face on the grinning black one:"Advice?"
36666Norton turned away and the Governor laid his trembling hand on his arm:"Your decision is absolutely final, Major Norton?"
36666Norton was watching closely:"She told you what I had just said to her?"
36666Norton watched him with a dazed look and cried suddenly:"Where are you going?"
36666Norton''s eyes suddenly grew dim, he leaned on the table, stared at Andy, and repeated blankly:"The young lady I asked to spend the summer with us?"
36666Norton''s eyes were again burning into her soul as he asked in a low voice:"Suppose it does?"
36666Norton''s figure stiffened and he looked at the man with a flush of anger:"Did you say demand?"
36666Norton''s words were hurled at her, each one a solid shot:"Would you have given up that child without a struggle-- if she had really been your own?"
36666Now get out of this room-- and stay out of it, do you hear?"
36666Now what do you say to that?"
36666Now, major, I reckon you''re about the level- headest and the most influential man in the county-- the question is, what shall I do to be saved?"
36666Oh, my boy, when you look on these walls at your fathers, do n''t you see this, do n''t you feel this, do n''t you know this?"
36666Or seek you?
36666Or would the waves of oblivion roll over the prostrate body without a sign?
36666Peeler''s?"
36666Peeler?"
36666Shall we improve the breed of horses and degrade our men?
36666Shall we improve the breed of men or degrade it?
36666She began speaking with quick nervous energy:"Dr. Williams told you?"
36666She entered that hall to- night?
36666She felt an instant relief and pulled herself together with a touch of bravado:"And now that you see I am, what are you going to do about it?"
36666She gazed at him steadily with a look of undisguised hate:"What is it?"
36666She gazed steadily into his eyes and asked with sharp rising emphasis:"Why?"
36666She gently disengaged herself, asking:"How did you get away from him so quickly?"
36666She has found out----""What-- how-- when?"
36666She heard the girl''s swift, excited step on the stairway and rushed to the door:"What is it?
36666She held him from her a moment, looked into his eyes and cried:"And you missed me, darling?"
36666She held his hand clasped in hers for a moment and slowly said:"I have n''t done anything wrong, have I, major?"
36666She lifted her face to his in wonder:"And you will dare to tell your father?"
36666She lifted her head pleadingly:"You will let me come to you then?"
36666She looked at him timidly:"You wo n''t forget that he is your father, and loves you better than his own life?"
36666She nudged him gently:"G''long, man, what is it?"
36666She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"Ca n''t I put in des one little word, sah?"
36666She paused and extended her hand pleadingly:"You''ll be easy wid''em, sah?"
36666She pressed closer with sudden desperate courage, her voice full of wistful friendliness:"Oh, major, what have I done to offend you?
36666She pressed his arm eagerly:"Think-- what would you do?"
36666She rapped again:"Please, Miss Helen, may I come in just a minute?"
36666She rushed to him and laid her hand appealingly on his arm:"Oh, Tom, dear, am I not your wife?"
36666She spoke at last in a half- laughing, incredulous way:"Suppose she died?
36666She sprang to her feet clutching at her throat, trembling from head to foot--"What do you mean by looking at me like that?"
36666She started with sudden alarm and whispered:"You have n''t got the pistol that you brought home to- day from the campaign, have you?"
36666She stopped and stammered:"Why-- why-- wuz yer lookin''fer me, major?"
36666She threw Helen a look of resentment:"Why do you draw away from me like that?"
36666She tried to draw away but he held her hand firmly:"What is it?
36666She turned to Tom:"Why did you lock the door-- what does it mean?"
36666She walked quickly into the room, and threw her head up with defiance:"Well?"
36666She was on the verge of screaming in his face when he said in low, intense tones:"You did get even with me-- didn''t you?"
36666She''s atter me sho, an''ef she gits me in er close place, what I gwine do, sah?"
36666Show dat man ter me-- who say dat?"
36666Social fictions-- prejudices?"
36666Sposen, sah, dat a gemman got ter take his choice twixt marryin''er lady dat''s forcin''herself on''i m, er kill hissef?"
36666Surely, I have the right to know"--she turned suddenly to Norton--"You do n''t hate me now, do you, major?"
36666That he knows the full history of my birth and the names of my father and mother?"
36666The Klan''s the only way to save this country from hell-- what do you mean by jumpin''on it?"
36666The answer came slowly:"And you ca n''t guess what''s happened?"
36666The boy appealed to his father:"Have n''t we come to a perfect understanding, Dad?"
36666The boy laughed again:"And I suppose, of course, he believed all you told him?"
36666The boy looked at Andy with a sudden start:"Ah, how could that sweet little girl upset him?
36666The boy rose, closed the door, and sat down near his father''s chair:"Well, Dad, why so serious?
36666The boy shook his head again and frowned:"You''re a hopeless old sinner----""Who, me, er sinner?
36666The boy spoke with sharp eagerness:"Tell me what?"
36666The boy suddenly lifted his head:"Why did you bring Helen into this house?"
36666The boy turned slightly away and the father watched him keenly and furtively for a moment, and took a step toward him:"You have never been in love?"
36666The boy was quiet a moment and looked at the tall figure with a queer expression:"Has she maintained it?"
36666The captain stepped forward:"Are you Major Daniel Norton?"
36666The dazed man turned slowly and looked at the tray and then at the grinning negro:"What''s this?"
36666The doctor was silent for a long while and his eyes wandered to the darkening sky where the stars were coming out one by one:"Who knows but God?
36666The editor looked at the clerk steadily for a moment and quietly asked:"What amount of bail do you require?"
36666The editor rose, closed the door and resumed his seat:"Well, sir; how can I serve you?"
36666The editor smiled:"Really?"
36666The election returns ca n''t be in yet?"
36666The farmer smiled:"I_ am_ a Scotchman-- ain''t I?"
36666The father frowned:"She has been in the habit of making you her confidant?"
36666The father''s hand felt blindly for the boy''s and grasped it desperately:"You wo n''t remember a single harsh word that I''ve said?"
36666The father''s keen eyes pierced the boy''s:"Why should she run?"
36666The father''s long trembling finger traced slowly each word:"''Remember that I love you and have forgiven----''""Forgiven what?"
36666The girl drew herself up with a movement of quiet determination and spoke in even tones:"My parents are Southern?"
36666The girl looked at him steadily:"Then, you are my real guardian?"
36666The girl smiled with a puzzled look:"Suppose it does?
36666The lavender hose moved stealthily:"You will advocate this?"
36666The little Scalawag paled and his voice was scarcely a whisper:"Why-- why, what do you mean?"
36666The old man seized her hand with a cruel grip:"Do you dare tell me that this girl is your daughter?"
36666The older man drew closer:"A cheap bluff, eh?
36666The one question now was--"what did she mean?"
36666The pacing figure paused and eyed his tormentor, lifting his shaggy brows:"Yes?"
36666The power you once had is gone-- gone forever-- never to return----""Then why be afraid?
36666The question is, can you divide the white race on this issue?"
36666The red blood rushed to his head and he blanched with a death- like pallor:"And you have been afraid of Cleo?"
36666The thought shaped itself into questions:"Is n''t the price we pay too great?
36666The very thought brought a cry of agony to his lips:"God in heaven-- what can I do?"
36666The voice softened to persuasive tones:"He has n''t slipped back here even for an hour since I''ve been gone?"
36666The whole mob are not coming here, are they?"
36666The wife caught the girl by the shoulders and cried:"Who told you this?"
36666The woman''s eyes narrowed and her voice purred:"You''re going to stand by me now?"
36666The young editor drew his old comrade in arms down into his chair and sat on the table facing him:"And how''s the wife and kids, Mac?"
36666The young editor suddenly wheeled in his chair and spoke with quick emphasis:"Mr. Peeler, I believe?"
36666There''s a fiercer vengeance to be meted out to your Scalawag Governor----""What do you mean?"
36666There''s not a chance that you''ll change your mind?"
36666There''s not room for us both in the state----""And you think this laughing child cares anything about the Governor or his dirty politics?
36666These editorials in_ The Eagle and Phoenix_ cussin''the Klan----""You do n''t like them?"
36666They''re going to kill him, too----""Then there''s time to stop them-- quick-- can you hitch a horse?"
36666This is not one of your lies you give for medicine sometimes?"
36666To grin and hint the truth to your friends?"
36666Tom assumed a judicial attitude, folded his arms and asked:"Well, who''s the other one?--who''s your true love?"
36666Tom cried, squaring himself and looking Andy over:"Are n''t you just a little shady?"
36666Tom gave a start:"Dad----""Over every mile of that long drive home last night, I was brooding and thinking of you----""Of me?"
36666Tom has made love to you?"
36666Tom held his ground with dogged coolness:"_ Have_ you told me the truth?"
36666Tom ignored his answer:"Has n''t Cleo been blackmailing you?"
36666Tom looked at her intently:"You say that you will obey me?"
36666Tom sat up in bed rubbing his eyes:"What''s that?"
36666Tom took a step and looked up in surprise:"The way-- what way?"
36666Tom?"
36666Tom?"
36666Was he losing his mind?
36666We must face each other to- day with souls bare-- why are you her guardian?"
36666Well, I found out twenty years ago that beneath the skin of every man sleeps an ape and a tiger-- I fought that battle and won----""And I have lost?"
36666Were they not both the victims, in a sense, of the follies of centuries?
36666What are we to do without''em, that''s the question?"
36666What are you going to do with me?
36666What are you going to do with these negroes?"
36666What are you going to do?
36666What are you talking about?"
36666What can I do?"
36666What can we do with them?
36666What did it mean?
36666What do you mean?"
36666What does it mean?"
36666What has happened?"
36666What have you to say?"
36666What is it?
36666What sort of a man is he?"
36666What sort of love do you think I''ve given you?
36666What was her active brain and vital personality up to?
36666What was her game?
36666What was the use?
36666What ye got agin me?"
36666What''s an accident of birth?
36666What''s de lowes''bid now, gemmens, yer gwine ter gimme ter bode''em by de month?
36666What''s happened?
36666What''s the matter?"
36666What''s the matter?"
36666What''s the matter?"
36666When the laughter had died away Norton asked in good- natured tones:"You say I can depend on you, Andy?"
36666When the old man spoke again, his voice trembled with emotion, he stepped close and seized Norton''s arm:"My boy, have you gone mad?"
36666Where were they last night-- the loafing, drunken cowards?
36666Where-- here?"
36666Who dares to say such a thing?"
36666Who dares to tell such a lie?
36666Who is she?
36666Who is this dusky figure of the forest with whom you would cross your blood?
36666Who says they are married?"
36666Why did n''t she come?
36666Why did you do this fiendish thing?
36666Why did you, of all men on earth, accept such a position?"
36666Why do n''t you give me your hand?
36666Why do you look so strangely at each other?"
36666Why do you tremble so?"
36666Why had he lied and deceived her at all?
36666Why had she been so foolish?
36666Why have n''t you realized this before?
36666Why is it so hard?"
36666Why must I bear the sins of my father and mother?
36666Why not?
36666Why should he dislike her?
36666Why teach me to think and feel and know this?"
36666Why were you both so pale when I came in?"
36666Why, what do you mean?"
36666Why?
36666Why?
36666With a cry of anguish, the man turned again on the girl:"Why do you stand there grinning at me?
36666With a cry of joy Helen knelt and drew Tom into her arms:"Oh, darling, did you hear it-- oh, my sweetheart, did you hear it?"
36666With a cry of surprise and terror, the woman leaped to his side, her voice a whisper:"Married?
36666With a cry she staggered back and threw her hand instinctively up as if to ward a blow:"Yes-- yes, you would-- wouldn''t you?"
36666With a gleam of hope in her deep blue eyes she rose trembling:"You really mean that?
36666With a leap Norton grasped the boy again and shook him madly:"Married already?
36666With an effort Tom kept his face straight:"No, I may be just as big a fool some day myself-- who is she?"
36666Without turning or moving a muscle he asked:"What do you mean?"
36666Wo n''t you accept my humility in this hour in part atonement for my mistakes?
36666Wo n''t you tell him for us right away?
36666Wo n''t you trust me, boy?"
36666Wo n''t you try to remember this?"
36666Would he know and understand?
36666Would yer be his friend an''help him to win her?"
36666Yassah, I done resigned, an''I thought, major, maybe you get a job''bout de office or''bout de house fer er young likely nigger''bout my size?"
36666You are quite determined to maintain the policy of your paper on this point?"
36666You are sure?"
36666You ca n''t suspend the law of gravitation by saying so on a scrap of paper----""You are ready to go?"
36666You ca n''t think it a forgery?"
36666You could n''t choose your parents, could you?
36666You do n''t hate me, do you?
36666You got ter puttin''on more airs dan de major----""Ah, who is she?"
36666You like to go to funerals, do n''t you?"
36666You like to see a fight, do n''t you?"
36666You remember that feeling when we were lost sometimes in strange countries hunting together, you and I?"
36666You sho ai n''t gwine ter die ter- night?"
36666You will, wo n''t you?"
36666You would n''t think I''m so strong, would you?"
36666You''ll help me, mother?"
36666You''ve always loved him as if he were your own----""Well, what of it?"
36666You, a strong, innocent man, stunned by a weak contemptible lie like this from the lips of such a girl-- what do you mean?"
36666You, who have dinned into my ears from childhood that I should keep myself clean from the touch of such pollution-- why did you take the risk?"
36666You-- you forgive me for striking you to- night?"
36666Your answer gives me courage"--he paused and his voice quivered with deep intensity--"you really love Tom?"
36666Your creed forbids you to receive a negro as a social equal?"
36666[ Illustration:"''How dare you?''"]
36666and I''ve made my decision"--he paused a moment and then demanded:"How do you know her blood is tainted?"
36666and you love me-- you do love me?"
36666or is it just a cut in my wages?
36666the boy''s head drooped--"must you have a secret from me now?"
36666what''s that?"
