1118how giddily''a turns about all the hot- bloods between fourteen and five- and- thirty?
1118interjections?
1118of speaking honourably?
1118or do you play the flouting Jack, to tell us Cupid is a good hare- finder and Vulcan a rare carpenter?
1118or under your arm, like a lieutenant''s scarf?
1118or would you have me speak after my custom, as being a professed tyrant to their sex?

1118two of my brother''s men bound?
1118which way looks he?
1118why benedictus?
15265A love affair--she paled with something like fear--"and I"--she started to speak, but could not--"I want to know what you think about Zora?"
15265About darky schools?
15265About how much?
15265Ai n''t you got no money?
15265All the truth?
15265Always-- tell-- the truth?
15265Am I? 15265 And Sanders?"
15265And Zora?
15265And cotton?
15265And criticise the party?
15265And culture and work?
15265And do the people believe that?
15265And how long have you been buying it?
15265And if that strong influence were found?
15265And is--she struggled at the word madly--"is she pure?"
15265And kill the plantation system?
15265And leave a pa''cel of niggers behind to shoot your lights out? 15265 And let your neighbor sell them poison at all hours?
15265And more beautiful?
15265And no appointment? 15265 And now,"he said,"Miss Wynn, what can I do for you?"
15265And part of the price is putting the colored schools of the District in the hands of a Southern man and depriving us of all voice in their control?
15265And say,as Easterly was turning away,"you know Congressman Smith?"
15265And so you ca n''t leave?
15265And the Board of Education abolished?
15265And the other planters?
15265And then?
15265And these Cresswells today?
15265And throw the rest of our capital after the fifty thousand dollars we''ve already lost?
15265And what brings you to town afoot this time of day?
15265And what shall you do?
15265And what were you to pay for it?
15265And what''s beyond the swamp?
15265And where do you live, Buddy?
15265And who is Elspeth?
15265And why do you hate it?
15265And why does she hold a lily?
15265And will they all be represented?
15265And with the teachers of it?
15265And yet you will stay?
15265And yonder to the west?
15265And you are still friendly with him?
15265And you?
15265And, Zora, what way do you seek? 15265 Any witnesses?"
15265Any witnesses?
15265Are kisses illegal here?
15265Are they honest and kind?
15265Are they not hard working honest people?
15265Are you going back there when you finish?
15265Are you happy?
15265Are you men fools, or rascals? 15265 Are you sure of the path, Zora?"
15265Are you sure?
15265Are you the-- er-- the man who had a letter to the Senator?
15265Are you walking?
15265Are you-- in a hurry, Miss Smith?
15265As Treasurer?
15265Aunt Rachel?
15265Back, is she? 15265 Behind where the sun comes up?"
15265Bigger?
15265Black or white?
15265Bles,she began didactically,"where are you from?"
15265Bles,she cried,"how can I grow pure?"
15265Bles,she said impulsively,"shall I tell you of the Golden Fleece?"
15265Bles,she said primly,"have you absolutely no shame?"
15265Brethren,he began,"the plan''s good enough for talkin''but you ca n''t work it; who ever heer''d tell of such a thing?
15265But could n''t you hire some good workers?
15265But did n''t you say they were engaged?
15265But did n''t you settle at Christmas?
15265But how about your raw material? 15265 But how can I know?"
15265But how do they hope to make Mr. Alwyn blunder?
15265But how shall we help him?
15265But how''s cotton?
15265But if she escapes, why not you?
15265But if we can not trust to the justice of the case, and if you knew we could n''t, why did you try?
15265But in the tenth case-- suppose he should stick to it?
15265But is it necessary? 15265 But others-- a man''s a man, is n''t he?"
15265But surely you did n''t join her in advocating that ten million people be menials?
15265But that''s been decided, has n''t it?
15265But the other gown?
15265But the seed?
15265But the unselfish work she does-- the utter sacrifice?
15265But what do Teerswell and Stillings want?
15265But what_ can_ turn up?
15265But where are the houses?
15265But where have you sent them?
15265But where is it?
15265But where is it?
15265But who gave it to you?
15265But why do n''t the planters do something?
15265But why is lies evil?
15265But why prolong the thing?
15265But you believe in some education?
15265But you mean to say you ca n''t even advise her?
15265But, Mrs. Vanderpool,she protested,"is it right?
15265But, Zora, must you folk ape our nonsense as well as our sense?
15265But,--presently,--"how can we sell it without the Cresswells knowing?"
15265But-- I do n''t understand, Miss Smith-- why ca n''t you accept my offer?
15265But-- but I thought they had already started to work a crop on the Tolliver place?
15265But-- but how are-- all?
15265But-- but, dear Mrs. Vanderpool, you would n''t want your children trained that way, would you?
15265But-- will he?
15265By the bye, I met some charming Alabama people last winter, in Montgomery-- the Cresswells; do you know them?
15265Ca n''t I have the girl Zora?
15265Called?
15265Can I go?
15265Can I speak with you a moment, Colonel?
15265Can it be, Bles Alwyn,she said,"that you do n''t know the sort of girl she is?"
15265Can you not stop and see some of the classes?
15265Can you put trust in that sort of help?
15265Can you?
15265Cash?
15265Colton,he asked,"are you sending any of your white children to the nigger school yet?"
15265Come, is you? 15265 Cotton is a wonderful thing, is it not, boys?"
15265Could I buy a lunch from the dining- car?
15265Could I help?
15265Could I trust you with a human soul?
15265Could she pass?
15265Did Helene attend the ball four years ago?
15265Did he say he meant to sign such a contract?
15265Did n''t I tell you there was lots to learn?
15265Did n''t you know that this Child Labor business was opposed to my interests?
15265Did you get that novel for me, Harry?
15265Did you know that he is to be invited to make the principal address to the graduates of the colored high- school?
15265Did you make that pin?
15265Did you see Colonel Cresswell sign this paper?
15265Did you suggest anything?
15265Do crazy folks forget?
15265Do fools like the American people deserve salvation?
15265Do n''t white folks make books?
15265Do n''t you hate the deception?
15265Do n''t you know that Colonel Cresswell will attach our cotton for rent as soon as it touches the warehouse?
15265Do n''t you know that is a wicked, bad habit?
15265Do n''t you know we''re not going to interfere with Colonel Cresswell''s tenants?
15265Do n''t you see,he said angrily,"that that will ruin our plans for the Cotton Combine?"
15265Do n''t_ you_ want to be different?
15265Do they get that-- ten cents an hour?
15265Do you ever tell lies, Zora?
15265Do you go to school?
15265Do you happen to have any whiskey handy?
15265Do you hear the bodies creaking on the limbs? 15265 Do you know how?"
15265Do you know me?
15265Do you know my people? 15265 Do you know no one in town?"
15265Do you live about here?
15265Do you live in Washington?
15265Do you mean it?
15265Do you mean to intimate that Mr. Alwyn''s appointment is held up because he is colored?
15265Do you mean to say he''s actually slated for the place?
15265Do you mean to say that you are going to keep in this school a girl who not only lies and steals but is positively--_immoral_?
15265Do you s''pose mammy''s the witch?
15265Do you stay there now?
15265Do you work for pay?
15265Does he furnish you rations?
15265Does he?
15265Does she think them immodest?
15265Does you own the land?
15265Does you want-- a collection?
15265Does, eh? 15265 Dreams?"
15265Enough to marry me?
15265Even if it hurts me?
15265Except who?
15265First, there''s England-- and all Europe; why not bring them into the trust?
15265For what? 15265 General philanthropy?"
15265Gentleman is asking if you forgits it''s Saturday night, sir?
15265God is the father of all the little babies, ai n''t He, Bles?
15265Goobers?
15265Good white folk?
15265Got my letter?
15265H''m, they''re way behind, are n''t they? 15265 Harry, will you do me a favor?"
15265Hate what?
15265Have I shocked you?
15265Have n''t I a right to have a gun?
15265Have you been in your sitting- room?
15265Have you got the deed?
15265Have you had the civil- service examinations?
15265Have you heard of the Vanderpools?
15265Have you hired a maid?
15265Have you many settlements?
15265Have you never heard of the Golden Fleece, Bles?
15265Have you seen Senator Smith yet?
15265Have you seen the Easterlys?
15265He deserved it, did n''t he?
15265He''s a fair God, ai n''t He?
15265Heavenly Father, was man ever before set to such a task?
15265Helen?
15265Helps folks that they love? 15265 Here you, Jim, take the big mules and drive like-- Where''s that wench?"
15265Hired?
15265How about fighting for exercise?
15265How am I to know this is true?
15265How dare you?
15265How do you do, Miss Smith?
15265How do you mean?
15265How do you spell that?
15265How does_ you_ know He does?
15265How is my sister?
15265How long before the stalks will be ready to cut?
15265How much is that?
15265How much of it?
15265How much-- farther will it drop?
15265How much?
15265How so?
15265How you know?
15265How''s his cotton?
15265How''s the school getting on?
15265How?
15265How?
15265How?
15265I beg pardon, does the Miss Wynn live here who got the prize in the art exhibition?
15265I beg your pardon?
15265I do hope the thing can be managed, but--"What are the difficulties?
15265I do n''t suppose you know any one who is acquainted with any number of these Northern darkies?
15265I hate it, Bles, do n''t you?
15265I mean, what work?
15265I mean, would the Cresswells approve of educating Negroes?
15265I see-- everybody is raising his price, is he? 15265 I suppose my salary would stop?"
15265I suppose you hear from the school?
15265I think they are; but-- well, you know Carrie Wynn better than I do: suppose, now-- suppose he should lose the appointment?
15265I thought it was the lazy, shiftless, and criminal Negroes, you feared?
15265I wonder what I shall make out of her?
15265I''m driving round through the old plantation,he explained;"wo n''t you join me?"
15265I''ve gambled-- before; I''ve gambled on cards and on horses; I''ve gambled-- for money-- and-- women-- but--"But not on cotton, hey? 15265 I-- er-- came; that is, I believe you sent a group to the art exhibit?"
15265I-- er-- meant to ask if Colonel Cresswell, in signing this paper, meant to sign a contract to sell this wench two hundred acres of land?
15265If not I, who?
15265In your dark lives,he cried,"_ who_ is the King of Glory?
15265Inclined to be a little nasty?
15265Indeed? 15265 Indeed?
15265Indeed?
15265Indeed?
15265Is it off?
15265Is it ready, Zora?
15265Is it wrong,asked Zora,"to make believe you likes people when you do n''t, when you''se afeared of them and thinks they may rub off and dirty you?"
15265Is it? 15265 Is it?--is it?"
15265Is it?--is it?
15265Is n''t Bles developing splendidly?
15265Is n''t it so-- anywhere?
15265Is n''t the census building wretched?
15265Is she very sick?
15265Is that all?
15265Is that so?
15265Is that wrong?
15265Is that you, Smith?
15265Is the Congressional business very heavy?
15265Is there any water near?
15265Is there anything in Washington that the South does not already own?
15265Is this a new gag?
15265Is this about this?
15265Is you afeared, honey?
15265Is-- is anything the matter?
15265It is so late and wet and you''re tired tonight-- don''t you think you''d better sleep in your little room?
15265Jim Sykes?
15265Just begun?
15265Just what is your plan?
15265Know dem? 15265 Like it?
15265Look like a fool, do I?
15265Mary, has that Alwyn nigger been here this afternoon?
15265Me? 15265 Mean?
15265Miss Smith''s school?
15265Miss Smith, how much money have you?
15265Miss Smith, is yo''got a speller fo''ten cents?
15265Miss Smith, is yo''got just a drap of coffee to lend me? 15265 Miss Smith, who do you think has been here?"
15265Miss Smith, would Jim do to drive?
15265Miss-- Wynn?
15265Mr. Cresswell would be their local representative?
15265Mr. Taylor, have you any money in this?
15265Mr. Taylor,said the lawyer carelessly,"were you present at this transaction?"
15265Mrs. Grey talked to you much?
15265Must you do as he wants?
15265My God-- it walks-- like my wife-- I tell you-- she held her head so-- who is it?
15265My people?--my people?
15265Never?
15265Never?
15265No,he pressed her,"with your bargain?"
15265No-- well, what can I do for you?
15265No-- what?
15265Now what the devil does this mean?
15265Now, Bles,she began,"since we understand each other, can we not work together as good friends?"
15265Now, about the niggers,the chairman had asked;"how much more boodle do they want?"
15265Now, what do you know,she asked finally,"about Negroes-- about educating them?"
15265Now, what have you got there?
15265Now, what''s his game?
15265Of Colonel Cresswell?
15265Oh, you''ve noted it, too?--his friendship for that impossible girl, Zora?
15265Ought I to tell? 15265 Our success?"
15265Promise you wo n''t tell?
15265Really, now, you do not mean to say that there is a danger of-- of amalgamation, do you?
15265Robert, where is the land Cresswell offers you?
15265Said that, did he?
15265Sam, is it? 15265 Say, Harry, how about that darky, Sykes?"
15265Say,he whispered another time,"do n''t you want to buy these gold spectacles?
15265See those boys over there? 15265 Sell it?
15265She gets a salary, does n''t she?
15265She lives in the swamp-- she''s a kind of witch, I reckon, like-- like--"Like Medea?
15265So''m I,answered the boy, fumbling at his bundle; and then, timidly:"Will you eat with me?"
15265So? 15265 So?
15265Some time you''ll tell me, please, wo n''t you?
15265Something political?
15265Still thinking of going, are you, Sam?
15265Stillings?
15265Stuff?
15265Surely there must be many friends of our race willing to stand for the right and sacrifice for it?
15265Taylor, what does this mean?
15265The Cresswells?
15265The Silver Fleece?
15265The Tolliver place?
15265The brotherhood of man?
15265The snake-- what is he?
15265The world?
15265Then what''s the use of seeing the world?
15265Then why do they go?
15265Then you can leave the place, Zora?
15265Then you care-- for me?
15265Then you lies sometimes, do n''t you?
15265There are so many ahead of me and I am in a hurry to get to my school; but I must see the Senator-- couldn''t I go in with you? 15265 There''s something in it,"he admitted,"but what can we do?
15265They are-- wealthy people?
15265They may accommodate you-- how much would you want?
15265They want us to revive the Farmers''League?
15265This is a great cotton country?
15265Tickets?
15265Tightening up on the tenants?
15265To be sure,she murmured,"but what sort of folks?"
15265Todd asks: Who is Vanderpool, anyhow? 15265 Todd just let fall something of a combination against us in Congress-- know anything of it?"
15265Tolerable, how are you?
15265True; but ca n''t we force them to it?
15265Two hundred acres? 15265 Want to go?"
15265Was n''t what I said true?
15265Was she pretty?
15265Was the child born dead?
15265We wo n''t work any more today, then?
15265We''se both crazy, ai n''t we?
15265We''ve cornered the market all right-- cornered it-- d''ye hear, Cresswell? 15265 We?"
15265Well, I wants to see Mr. Harry very much; could I wait in the back hall?
15265Well, Uncle Jim, why are n''t you at work?
15265Well, Zora, what have you there?
15265Well, all right, if--"Harry, I feel a little-- hysterical, tonight, and-- you will not refuse me, will you, Harry?
15265Well, are you all moved, Aunt Rachel?
15265Well, are you getting things in shape so as to enter school early next year?
15265Well, did he intend so far as you know to sign such a paper?
15265Well, nigger, what are you going to do about it?
15265Well, sir?
15265Well, what do you want?
15265Well, what do you want?
15265Well, what is it?
15265Well, what then?
15265Well, who''d have dreamed it?
15265Well, why do n''t you go to the office?
15265Well,asked Cresswell, maintaining his composure by an effort,"how are things?"
15265Well,shortly,"now for that talk-- ready?"
15265Well?
15265Were they kind to their slaves?
15265What Smith?
15265What about Johnson?
15265What are prospects in March? 15265 What are you going to do with it?"
15265What bargain?
15265What can I do for you?
15265What can I do to help you?
15265What can I do?
15265What can be done with Negroes?
15265What damned mummery is this?
15265What did you disagree about?
15265What do the colored people want, and who can best influence them in this campaign?
15265What do you do?
15265What do you mean?
15265What does Miss Wynn do for a living?
15265What does it amount to a year?
15265What does she intend to do?
15265What else?
15265What for?
15265What for?
15265What for?
15265What is Todd''s bill?
15265What is it?
15265What is it?
15265What is planted over there?
15265What is the matter, Bles?
15265What is the matter, Zora?
15265What is the matter, Zora?
15265What is the world like?
15265What is your plan?
15265What kinds?
15265What of it? 15265 What of it?"
15265What of them?
15265What pin?
15265What shall we offer him?
15265What sort of people are the Cresswells?
15265What the hell are you going to do?
15265What was the trouble?
15265What will you say in your speech?
15265What would the interest be?
15265What would you expect as pay?
15265What would you have? 15265 What you run for?"
15265What!--and no appointment?
15265What''s a shame?
15265What''s over there?
15265What''s that got to do with it?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s the charge here?
15265What''s the matter, Rob?
15265What''s the matter?
15265What''s the use, Miss Smith-- what opening is there for a-- a nigger with an education?
15265What''s this nigger charged with?
15265What''s this stuff about the Civic Club?
15265What''s this?
15265What''s your name?
15265What-- what did you do?
15265What?
15265What?
15265What?
15265What?
15265When we cry they mock us; they ruin our women and debauch our children-- what shall we do? 15265 When?"
15265Where can we buy them?
15265Where did this come from?
15265Where did you get it?
15265Where did you get these facts?
15265Where does it go?
15265Where does this road come out?
15265Where have you been?
15265Where is it?
15265Where is she now?
15265Where is she?
15265Where is the deed?
15265Where now, Zora?
15265Where shall I put these?
15265Where to, Madame?
15265Where you going?
15265Where''s Zora?
15265Where''s that?
15265Where''s your lawyer?
15265Where''s-- Nell''s?
15265Where?
15265Where?
15265Where?
15265Which would the South prefer-- Todd''s Education Bill, or Alwyn''s appointment?
15265Who is dis what talks of doing the Lord''s work for Him? 15265 Who is he?"
15265Who is he?
15265Who is it, and what do you want?
15265Who is it?
15265Who''ll be the committee?
15265Who''s John Taylor?
15265Who''s a- feared of the dark? 15265 Who''s going to get what''s made on this land?"
15265Who''s going to tend this land?
15265Who''s going to work on the place?
15265Who''s running it?
15265Who''s speaking?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s this?
15265Who?
15265Whom?
15265Whose child is this?
15265Whose is that?
15265Whose work is this, Senator?
15265Why did n''t you tell me?
15265Why did you send your exhibit when you knew it was not wanted?
15265Why did you speak so to Miss Taylor?
15265Why do you say these things?
15265Why is it yours?
15265Why not bigger?
15265Why not make a speech on the subject?
15265Why not, then, admit that you draw the color- line?
15265Why not?
15265Why not?
15265Why should it be?
15265Why should n''t people do anything they wants to?
15265Why should we trust him?
15265Why, Aunt Rachel, how are you?
15265Why, Bles, what''s the matter?
15265Why, Zora?
15265Why, certainly,Mrs. Vanderpool agreed, and then curiously:"What?"
15265Why, dangerous?
15265Why, how do you do, Robert?
15265Why, it''s civil- service, is n''t it?
15265Why, one must live; and why not be happy?
15265Why, what''s there?
15265Why, yes--faltered Miss Taylor;"but-- wouldn''t that be difficult?"
15265Why,he said at length,"are n''t you promoting it?"
15265Why,in abrupt recognition,"it is our Venus of the Roadside, is it not?"
15265Why? 15265 Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Will it take long?
15265Will you come to hear me?
15265With his bargain?
15265With that hair?
15265Wo n''t you come in?
15265Wo n''t you try?
15265Work? 15265 Would Bles care if I told?"
15265Would it not be worth a fight?
15265Yes, but ought you to tell them?
15265Yes, this is it-- good- bye-- I must--"Wait-- what is your name?
15265Yes-- but back of it all, what is it really? 15265 Yes?"
15265You are a stranger?
15265You are interested in bronzes?
15265You are worse, father?
15265You can depend on Taylor, of course?
15265You do n''t mean that any one can advise a black man to vote the Democratic ticket?
15265You had quite forgotten what you were waiting for-- isn''t that so, Sis?
15265You know the Cresswells, then?
15265You know the people pretty well, then?
15265You mean it will stand in law?
15265You mean the Smiths of Boston?
15265You mean you can pay what we ask?
15265You mean youse gwine to git yo''livin''off it?
15265You remember our visit to Senator Smith?
15265You wished to see-- Caroline Wynn?
15265You would not like me to act dishonestly, would you?
15265You''d let a nigger vote?
15265You''ve found some things worth knowing in this world, have n''t you, Zora?
15265Zora,he said,"sometimes you tell lies, do n''t you?"
15265Zora,she faltered,"will you leave me?"
15265Zora,she presently broke into the girl''s absorption,"how would you like to be Ambassador to France?"
15265Zora,she said evenly,"why did n''t you come to class when I called?"
15265Zora--he gasped,"how-- how did you do it?"
15265Zora? 15265 Zora?"
15265_ The_ problem, you mean?
15265A horror crept over Mary Cresswell: where had she lived that she had seen so little before?
15265After all why should he care?
15265After all, he kept saying to himself, what guarantee, what knowledge had he that this was not a"damned Yankee trick"?
15265After all, which was worse-- a Cresswell or an Alwyn?
15265After all, why should n''t it be?
15265Ai n''t that all?"
15265Always before she had been veiled from these folk: who had put the veil there?
15265Alwyn?"
15265Alwyn?"
15265And Bles-- was Miss Taylor deceived?--or was he chuckling?
15265And Carrie Wynn-- poor Carrie, with her pride and position dragged down in his ruin: how would she take it?
15265And how much have you paid a year?"
15265And if it were?
15265And suppose I had?"
15265And then, brightening, he asked gayly:"And we''ll be friends always, wo n''t we?"
15265And who could furnish that illumination better than Zora, the calm, methodical Zora, who knew them so well?
15265And why are you afraid for her?"
15265And why not?"
15265And yet, once in the hands of these past- masters of debt- manipulation, would her school be safe?
15265And yet, why should she hesitate?
15265And you graduated, I suppose, and all that?"
15265And, Sam, ca n''t you find us a sandwich and something cool?
15265Anything on?"
15265Are you blind?
15265Are you dumb?
15265Are you willing to try?"
15265Are you?"
15265As the black porter passed her she said gently:"Is smoking allowed in here?"
15265As the two white riders approached the buggy one said to the other:"Who''s that nigger with?"
15265At any rate, who was better?
15265At last, however, she said happily to Zora:"Well, the battle''s over, is n''t it?"
15265Aye, face it boldly-- what?
15265Bles, where was he?
15265But Bles asked coldly:"Why did n''t you have him arrested?"
15265But before?"
15265But could she do it?
15265But could she live?
15265But did he desire her as a wife?
15265But do you know I like the girl?
15265But do you know that we''re encountering opposition from the most unexpected source?"
15265But how about the Smith School?
15265But how had it been saved?
15265But if she talked again of mere men would these devotees listen?
15265But if she went there what would she see and do, and would it be possible to become such a woman as Miss Smith pictured?
15265But if she were especially invited?
15265But it does n''t, does it?"
15265But these are not my children, they are the children of Negroes; we ca n''t quite forget that, can we?"
15265But to Miss Taylor:"I beg pardon-- er-- Miss Smith?"
15265But what did I say so funny?"
15265But what does it matter?
15265But what of that?
15265But who?
15265But why lonely?
15265But would she make a satisfactory maid?
15265But, pshaw!--he poured himself a glass of brandy-- was he not rich and young?
15265By the way, what did that letter say about a''sister''?"
15265Ca n''t we keep wages where we like by threatening to bring in nigger labor?"
15265Can you be ready by eleven?"
15265Child?
15265Could it be possible that all unconsciously she had dared dream a forbidden dream?
15265Could it be that this Negro had dared to misunderstand her-- had presumed?
15265Could she be brought back to a useful life?
15265Cresswell?"
15265Cresswell?"
15265Cresswell?"
15265Did God ask that, too?
15265Did John think she had nothing else to do?
15265Did colored people attend the ball?
15265Did he know of the mortgage, too?
15265Did he understand?
15265Did n''t you see her while she was here?
15265Did she intend to exhibit?
15265Did she want him to find her?
15265Did you notice how unhealthy the children looked?
15265Do n''t they ever get there?"
15265Do n''t we own the mill?
15265Do n''t you remember those fine bales of cotton that came out of there several seasons ago?"
15265Do n''t you see the two schemes ca n''t mix?
15265Do n''t you see you''re planning to cut off your noses?
15265Do n''t you want to come up and help me look?"
15265Do you dance and laugh, and hear and see not?
15265Do you expect to buy that land for five dollars an acre?"
15265Do you know the man that stands ready to gobble up every inch of cotton land in this country at a price which no trust can hope to rival?"
15265Do you know-- I''ve wondered if-- quite unconciously, it is you?
15265Do you think the plantation system can be maintained without laborers?
15265Does n''t Cresswell know this?"
15265Does one"appeal"to the red- eyed beast that throttles him?
15265Dr. Boldish, naturally the appointed spokesman, looked helplessly about and whispered to Mrs. Vanderpool:"What on earth shall I talk about?"
15265Ever met him?"
15265Faith without works is dead; who is you that dares to set and wait for the Lord to do your work?"
15265Fight?
15265Find out for us just what this revolt is, how far it goes, and what good men we can get to swing the darkies into line-- see?"
15265From the other side the words came distinctly and clearly:"--other children, doctor?"
15265From these Southerners?"
15265Glad?
15265Had Mrs. Stillings heard of the new art movement?
15265Had Zora thought of them?
15265Had he dreamed?
15265Had he seen a haunt?
15265Had it been real?
15265Had she herself hung it before her soul, or had they hidden timidly behind its other side?
15265Had she met this stately ceremony with enough breeding to show that she too was somebody?
15265Had you heard?"
15265Harry Cresswell laid his hand on his father''s arm and said quietly:"And where do we come in?"
15265Harry Cresswell was not a bad man-- are there any bad men?
15265Has John written you?"
15265Have I got a little of the year''s wage coming to me?"
15265Have I made my clothes and food?
15265Have I paid my old debts to you?
15265Have you a young man named Alwyn on your eligible list?
15265Have you seen this?"
15265He bent to her fiercely:"Who?"
15265He frowned as he noted the footprints pointing to Elspeth''s-- what did Mary Taylor want there?
15265He had not thought that white people had such troubles; yet, he reflected, why not?
15265He leaned against his hoe and talked half dreamily-- where had he learned so well that dream- talk?
15265He watched her silently, till, waking from her daydream, she abruptly asked:"Where you from?"
15265Helen regarded her brother through her veiling lashes: what meant this sudden assumption of warmth and amiability?
15265Her heart answered back:"What is impossible to youth and resolution?"
15265Her little hands groped and wandered over his close- curled hair, and she sobbed, deep voiced:"Will you-- marry me, Bles?"
15265His voice came slow and firm:"Emma?
15265Hit''s hot, ai n''t it?
15265How could she find out?
15265How dares the black puppy to ignore a Cresswell on the highway?
15265How goes the great battle for black men''s rights?
15265How is she, and where?"
15265How is you?"
15265How large is your place?"
15265How much had Mrs. Cresswell ever known of Zora?
15265How much?
15265I do n''t like work-- do you?"
15265I found''em and I dassen''t sell''em open, see?
15265I hope John''s well?"
15265I said:"''Judge, a friend is expecting me at two,''it was then half- past one,''would I not best telephone?''"
15265I wanted to go in the trap-- take me?"
15265I was so afraid he would miss it and think that Right did n''t win in Life, that I wrote him--""You wrote him?
15265I wonder if I''m selling my birthright for six thousand dollars?"
15265I''d marry Carrie-- but how can I help you?"
15265I''ll put stuff into him that''ll make him wave the bloody shirt at the next meeting of the Bethel Literary-- see?
15265If his intense belief happened to be popular, all right; but if not?
15265If it failed, would not they fail?
15265If she was not careful--"But what is it you want?"
15265If the former, how far could they trust him; if the latter, what was his game?
15265If this went on, the day would surely come when Negroes felt no respect or fear whatever for whites?
15265If, now, you could drop a word here and there--""But why should I?"
15265In that time what had happened?
15265In the parlor and have the servants astounded and talking?
15265In town?"
15265In vain her shrewd New England reason asked:"What can a half- taught black girl do in this wilderness?"
15265Is it fair-- to the children?"
15265Is it fair?
15265Is it yo''s?"
15265Is it you, little wife, come back to accuse me?
15265Is n''t that your idea, Miss Smith?"
15265Is that an excuse for saying it?"
15265Is that woman''s brother going to spend this money?
15265Is that you, Mr. Cole?
15265It might rain only an hour or so, but, suppose it should rain a day-- two days-- a week?
15265It occurred to her that she had heard that name before-- but where?
15265It seemed to her that every breeze and branch was instinct with sympathy, and murmuring,"What''s the use?"
15265It was all right, and yet why so suddenly had the threads of life let go?
15265Mary?"
15265Mr. Cresswell says they own almost no land here; think of it?
15265Mrs. Vanderpool was right: culture and-- some masses, at least-- were not to be linked; and, too, culture and work-- were they incompatible?
15265Must I study five years?"
15265Must she live?
15265My father writes me that they are showing signs of expecting money right off-- is that true?
15265New York?"
15265No spontaneity either-- rather languid, did you notice?
15265Nothing?
15265Now here,_ every_thing seems to be happening; but what is it that is happening?"
15265Now, I wonder where they got the music?
15265Now, have n''t you a girl about here who would do?"
15265Now, if I get the job, how would you like to be my assistant?"
15265On the porch and have Mr. Maxwell ride up?
15265Or had it been some witch- vision of the night, come to tempt and lure him to his undoing?
15265Or was it simply a brute fact, regardless of both of them?
15265Or was the elf- girl real?
15265Or, was he happy?
15265Our?--was_ our_ right?
15265Perhaps a mortgage on the strength of the endowment?
15265See?
15265Senator Smith regarded him again: was Cresswell playing a shrewd game?
15265Shall I make him an enemy?
15265Shall I resign and beg, or go tilting at windmills?
15265Shall I try in addition to reform?
15265She answered dully, groping for words, for she was tired:"Who is it?"
15265She continued after a pause:"May I venture to ask a favor of you?"
15265She did not expect this, but she asked the porter:"Do you know where I can get a lunch?"
15265She dreamed and sang over that dark field, and again and again appealed to him:"S''pose it should n''t come up after all?"
15265She felt impelled to go forward and ask-- what?
15265She had thought of him as a boy-- an old student, a sort of confidential servant; but what had he thought?
15265She held her burning head-- was not everything plain?
15265She helped herself to a chocolate and called out musically:"Pa, are you going to town today?"
15265She must be sent to boarding- school, somewhere far away; but the money?
15265She must offer this unsullied soul up unto God in mighty atonement-- but how?
15265She rang the bell, asking the trim black maid:"Is there a person named Caroline Wynn living in this house?"
15265She seemed to feel rather than hear his presence, and she inquired softly:"Who''s it, Bles?"
15265She smiled and said sweetly,"Wo n''t you sit?"
15265She tried to think it out: what could have happened?
15265She was thinking rapidly-- Was this the Way?
15265She wondered how she had done her part-- had she been too eager and school- girlish?
15265She''ll be reasonable, wo n''t she, and placate the Cresswells?...
15265She''s planning to call some day-- shall you be at home?"
15265Should he be one?
15265Somewhat to Miss Taylor''s surprise Miss Smith said nothing until they were parting for the night, then she asked:"Was Miss Cresswell at home?"
15265Successful?
15265Suppose Mr. Alwyn should take this occasion to make a thorough defence of the party?"
15265Suppose he asked Caroline Wynn to help him in this case?
15265Suppose such a conjunction should come to pass?
15265Teerswell nodded and said:"Well, what do you think of last night?"
15265That''s the way it is now, see?
15265The Negroes are not, then, very efficient?"
15265The Silver Fleece, how was it?
15265The Sun, the Swamp?
15265The World, the great mysterious World, that stretched beyond the swamp and into which Bles and the Silver Fleece had gone-- did it lead to the Way?
15265The lagoon had been level with the dykes a week ago; and now?
15265The swamp, the eternal swamp, had been drained in its deepest fastness; but, how?--how?
15265The teacher in Miss Taylor strove to rebuke this unconventional greeting but the woman in her spoke first and asked almost before she knew it--"Why?"
15265The way where?"
15265Then Mary Taylor, whose conscience was uncomfortable, said:"But, Mr. Cresswell, you surely believe in schools like Miss Smith''s?"
15265Then Miss Taylor said, absently:"Zora, what do you propose to do when you grow up?"
15265Then after a pause:"When will you go, Zora?"
15265Then faint and fainter whisperings: what could be worse than death?
15265Then he said:"Colonel Cresswell, who drew this contract of sale?"
15265Then in sudden fury,"Ye generation of vipers-- who kin save you?"
15265Then she said dreamily:"We''se known us all our lives, and-- before, ai n''t we?"
15265Then there was Zora; what had she said and hinted to Mary?
15265Then what?
15265Then with a puzzled look:"I wonder why?"
15265They ca n''t concentrate; notice how some slept when Dr. Boldish was speaking?
15265Treat Alwyn well and call on Miss Wynn as usual-- see?"
15265Used to be one of our servants-- you remember?
15265Usually, while he played at loving, women grovelled; for was he not a Cresswell?
15265Was Cresswell back of Taylor?
15265Was Death the Way-- the wide, dark Way?
15265Was Elspeth now at peace?
15265Was it all straight, or did the whole move conceal a trick?
15265Was it not a rather dangerous experiment?
15265Was it not the King''s Highway?
15265Was it possible that the price of Alwyn''s manhood would be her husband''s appointment to Paris?
15265Was not everything clear?
15265Was there a change, sudden, cataclysmic?
15265Was there, after all, some"nigger- loving"conspiracy back of the cotton combine?
15265Was this rain beating down and back her love for him, or had she never loved?
15265Was this--"Nell''s"?
15265We''ll get this committee which Taylor suggests appointed, and send it on a junket to Alabama; you do the rest-- see?"
15265We''ll put the cotton inspection bill through in the last days of the session-- see?
15265Well, I''m going to give you some money-- do you know why?"
15265Well, why has he no appointment?
15265What a world it was, and after all how far was this black boy wrong?
15265What did he care?
15265What did he ever do?
15265What did she think?
15265What do you propose?"
15265What does de good Book say?
15265What does it look like?"
15265What else could she have dreamed?
15265What for?"
15265What good will it do?"
15265What had happened?
15265What had happened?
15265What kind of a woman was Zora now?
15265What must he pay for success?
15265What new force was he loosening against his black folk-- his own black folk, who had lived about him and his fathers nigh three hundred years?
15265What of the morning?
15265What school?"
15265What should she do?
15265What time?"
15265What was Washington, and what was this fine, tall, quiet residence?
15265What was he to her?
15265What was she doing?
15265What was the use of trying for anything?
15265What was"Nell''s"?
15265What would Elspeth do?
15265What would happen to her?
15265What would they say if he failed to get the office?
15265What''s a maid?"
15265What''s your name?"
15265What?
15265When shall I begin?"
15265Where can we get land, with Cresswell owning every inch and bound to destroy us?"
15265Where had Mrs. Cresswell seen her before?
15265Where had she known him?
15265Where is it?
15265Where should she receive him?
15265Where was that black and flaming cabin?
15265Where was the girl-- the soul that had called him?
15265Where was the poor spoiled woman?
15265Where was the use of imagining?
15265Where was"Nell''s"?
15265Where, Zora?
15265Where, and what mark?"
15265Who ever heer''d of such working land on shares?"
15265Who had rushed the news to this woman?
15265Who was caring for her, and what was she doing?
15265Who was doing it?
15265Who was he to falter when she called?
15265Who was he to stand and judge this unselfish woman?
15265Who was putting her to bed and smoothing the pillow?
15265Who would win-- the witch, or Jason?
15265Who''s responsible?"
15265Who, then, should be nominated?
15265Whom do you think that''s for?"
15265Why had he not known?
15265Why had he not stood his ground?
15265Why had it not occurred to her before in her blindness?
15265Why had neither Mary nor John Taylor mentioned this?
15265Why had she asked for her?
15265Why had she asked for this girl?
15265Why had she not bound him to her?
15265Why had they not let her see the child-- just one look at its little dead face?
15265Why had they stolen from her?
15265Why is you trying to make dis ole world better?
15265Why not go back to the South where she had gone?
15265Why not go see him?
15265Why not send Zora?
15265Why not take this young man in hand and make a Negro leader of him-- a protagonist of ten millions?
15265Why not?
15265Why should he be elbowed into the roadside dust by an insolent bully?
15265Why should he not be as other men?
15265Why should he pose as better than his fellows?
15265Why should not he go back, too?
15265Why should we who have sacrifice the substance for the shadow?"
15265Why should you spoil this black girl and put impossible ideas into her head?
15265Why was it?
15265Why was she drifting in vast waters; in uncharted wastes of sea?
15265Why was she restless and vaguely ill at ease so often these days?
