105 | Anne, Anne,cried Charles,"What is to be done next? |
105 | Are you going as high as Belmont? 105 Are you serious?" |
105 | But how shall we prove anything? |
105 | But was not she a very low woman? |
105 | But what does Lady Russell think of this acquaintance? |
105 | But, could you be comfortable yourself, to be spending the whole evening away from the poor boy? |
105 | Can you really? |
105 | Did you go then? 105 Did you observe the woman who opened the door to you when you called yesterday?" |
105 | Did you say that you had something to tell me, sir? |
105 | Do you think so? 105 Had not she better be carried to the inn? |
105 | Had you? |
105 | Have they any acquaintance here? |
105 | Have you finished your letter? |
105 | How is Mary looking? |
105 | How is Mary? |
105 | I suppose you will not like to call at the Great House before they have been to see you? |
105 | I think you spoke of having known Mr Elliot many years? |
105 | Is not this song worth staying for? |
105 | Is there no one to help me? |
105 | Look here,said he, unfolding a parcel in his hand, and displaying a small miniature painting,"do you know who that is?" |
105 | Mr Elliot does not dislike his cousin, I fancy? |
105 | Not before he was married, I suppose? |
105 | Now, how would she speak of him? |
105 | Old Lady Mary Maclean? 105 Perhaps you may not have heard that he is married?" |
105 | Perhaps,cried Anne, struck by a sudden idea,"you sometimes spoke of me to Mr Elliot?" |
105 | Pray,said Captain Wentworth, immediately,"can you tell us the name of the gentleman who is just gone away?" |
105 | She would have turned back then, but for you? |
105 | Should I? 105 The Crofts have arrived in Bath? |
105 | The Ibbotsons, were they there? 105 True,"said Anne,"very true; I did not recollect; but what shall we say now, Captain Harville? |
105 | Walter,cried Charles Hayter,"why do you not do as you are bid? |
105 | Well, and I had heard of you as a very pretty girl, and what were we to wait for besides? 105 Wentworth? |
105 | What is this? |
105 | What should they do without her? 105 When did that happen?" |
105 | Where shall we go? |
105 | Yes; you see his papa can, and why should not I? 105 You have had your little boys with you?" |
105 | ''How d''ye do?'' |
105 | ''In the name of heaven, who is that old fellow?'' |
105 | A good place is not it? |
105 | A new sort of way this, for a young fellow to be making love, by breaking his mistress''s head, is not it, Miss Elliot? |
105 | A prize indeed would Kellynch Hall be to him; rather the greatest prize of all, let him have taken ever so many before; hey, Shepherd?" |
105 | A sensible man, and he had looked like a very sensible man, why should it be an object to him? |
105 | A widow Mrs Smith; and who was her husband? |
105 | A''n''t I a good boy? |
105 | After a moment''s pause, Captain Wentworth said--"Do you mean that she refused him?" |
105 | After another short silence--"Pray,"said Mrs Smith,"is Mr Elliot aware of your acquaintance with me? |
105 | After waiting another moment--"You mean Mr Wentworth, I suppose?" |
105 | And under such a supposition, which would have been most miserable, when time had disclosed all, too late? |
105 | And what is her attraction? |
105 | And, pray, who is Charles Hayter? |
105 | Anne half smiled and said,"Do you see that in my eye?" |
105 | Anne, have you courage to go with me, and pay a visit in that house? |
105 | Anne, must not it be our Mr Elliot? |
105 | Are not you astonished? |
105 | Are you going near Camden Place? |
105 | But here comes a friend, Captain Brigden; I shall only say,''How d''ye do?'' |
105 | But then, is not it the same with many other professions, perhaps most other? |
105 | But who else was there to employ? |
105 | But why be acquainted with us now?" |
105 | But why should you be cruel? |
105 | Can I be of any use?" |
105 | Can I go anywhere for you, or with you? |
105 | Can any thing be stronger?" |
105 | Can you fail to have understood my wishes? |
105 | Captain Harville smiled, as much as to say,"Do you claim that for your sex?" |
105 | Chapter 24 Who can be in doubt of what followed? |
105 | Charles, Anne, must not it? |
105 | Could Anne wonder that her father and sister were happy? |
105 | Could it be Mr Elliot? |
105 | Could the knowledge have been extended through her family? |
105 | Could there have been any unpleasant glances? |
105 | Dear Miss Elliot, may I not say father and son?" |
105 | Did he see you last summer or autumn,''somewhere down in the west,''to use her own words, without knowing it to be you?" |
105 | Did you ever see the like? |
105 | Do not you agree with me, that it is the best thing he could do, both for himself and Mrs Shirley? |
105 | Do not you hear your aunt speak? |
105 | Do not you think, Anne, it is being over- scrupulous? |
105 | Do not you think, Miss Elliot, we had better try to get him to Bath?" |
105 | Do not you, Anne? |
105 | Do you think Lady Russell would like that?" |
105 | Do you think he had the Elliot countenance? |
105 | Do you think this is a good plan?" |
105 | Does he know that I am in Bath?" |
105 | Does it occur to you that there is any one article in which we can retrench?" |
105 | Does she never mean to go away? |
105 | Elizabeth, may we venture to present him and his wife in Laura Place?" |
105 | Forty?" |
105 | Had she been using any thing in particular?" |
105 | Have not I done well, mother?" |
105 | Have you forgot that we are engaged to Camden Place to- morrow night? |
105 | Have you not seen this? |
105 | He had given her some hints of it the last spring in town; he had gone so far even as to say,"Can we retrench? |
105 | He was preparing only to bow and pass on, but her gentle"How do you do?" |
105 | How are your neighbours at the Great House?" |
105 | How can you be so forgetful?" |
105 | How could I look on without agony? |
105 | How could it be? |
105 | How could it ever be ascertained that his mind was truly cleansed? |
105 | How do you like Bath, Miss Elliot? |
105 | How does he know that he is going on well, or that there may not be a sudden change half an hour hence? |
105 | How many days was it, my dear, between the first time of my seeing you and our sitting down together in our lodgings at North Yarmouth?" |
105 | How so? |
105 | How was Anne to set all these matters to rights? |
105 | How was such jealousy to be quieted? |
105 | How was the truth to reach him? |
105 | How would it all be? |
105 | How, in all the peculiar disadvantages of their respective situations, would he ever learn of her real sentiments? |
105 | I am sure you hear nothing but good of him from Colonel Wallis; and who can know him better than Colonel Wallis?" |
105 | I hope you think Louisa perfectly recovered now?" |
105 | I should like to know why you imagine I am?" |
105 | I suppose you know he wanted to marry Anne?" |
105 | If he were a little spoilt by such universal, such eager admiration, who could wonder? |
105 | Is he coming, Louisa?" |
105 | Is this true? |
105 | It is bad for him, I know, to be shut up as he is; but what can we do? |
105 | Miss Elliot, do you remember our walking together at Lyme, and grieving for him? |
105 | Mr Elliot married then completely for money? |
105 | My dear cousin"( sitting down by her),"you have a better right to be fastidious than almost any other woman I know; but will it answer? |
105 | Next week? |
105 | No, you would not guess, from his way of writing, that he had ever thought of this Miss( what''s her name?) |
105 | Now, how were his sentiments to be read? |
105 | Only think if anything should happen?" |
105 | Only to Gay Street, or farther up the town?" |
105 | Penelope, my dear, can you help me to the name of the gentleman who lived at Monkford: Mrs Croft''s brother?" |
105 | Pray sir,"turning to the waiter,"did not you hear, did not his servant say whether he belonged to the Kellynch family?" |
105 | Presently, struck by a sudden thought, Charles said--"Captain Wentworth, which way are you going? |
105 | Shall I mention to him your being in Bath? |
105 | Shall I take any message?" |
105 | She caught it instantaneously; and recovering her courage with the feeling of safety, soon added, more composedly,"Are you acquainted with Mr Elliot?" |
105 | She only attempted to say,"How do you do? |
105 | She roused herself to say, as they struck by order into another path,"Is not this one of the ways to Winthrop?" |
105 | Should not this be enough for a sailor, who has had no society among women to make him nice?" |
105 | Such a heart is very little worth having; is it, Lady Russell? |
105 | The Crofts who rent Kellynch? |
105 | The child was to be kept in bed and amused as quietly as possible; but what was there for a father to do? |
105 | There the news must follow him, but who was to tell it? |
105 | To be sure, I may just as well go as not, for I am of no use at home-- am I? |
105 | Was he at all such as he appears now?" |
105 | Was it not enough to make the fool of me which I appeared? |
105 | Was it unpardonable to think it worth my while to come? |
105 | Was not it Mrs Speed, as usual, or the maid? |
105 | Was this like wishing to avoid her? |
105 | Well,"( turning away),"now, where are you bound? |
105 | What do you take his age to be?'' |
105 | What have they brought you?" |
105 | What is Mr Elliot to me?" |
105 | What is her age? |
105 | What might not eight years do? |
105 | What queer fellows your fine painters must be, to think that anybody would venture their lives in such a shapeless old cockleshell as that? |
105 | What should a young fellow like you do ashore for half a year together? |
105 | What will he be doing, in fact, but what very many of our first families have done, or ought to do? |
105 | What, in heaven''s name, is to be done next?" |
105 | When people come in this manner on purpose to ask us, how can one say no?" |
105 | When the Crofts called this morning,( they called here afterwards, did not they? |
105 | Where can you look for a more suitable match? |
105 | Where could have been the attraction? |
105 | Where could you expect a more gentlemanlike, agreeable man? |
105 | Where was this superfine, extraordinary sort of gallantry of yours then?" |
105 | Who could it be? |
105 | Who is it? |
105 | Who is your party?" |
105 | Why did Mr Elliot draw back?" |
105 | Why was it? |
105 | Why was not she to be as useful as Anne? |
105 | Why was she to suspect herself of another motive? |
105 | Will it make you happy? |
105 | Will it not be wiser to accept the society of those good ladies in Laura Place, and enjoy all the advantages of the connexion as far as possible? |
105 | Will not this manner of speaking of him, Mrs Smith, convince you that he is nothing to me? |
105 | Will you not sit down? |
105 | Will you promise me to mention it, when you see them again? |
105 | Would she recollect him? |
105 | Would you, in short, have renewed the engagement then?" |
105 | and to arrive with some degree of hope? |
105 | how can you think of such a thing? |
105 | is it you? |
105 | my father''s next heir? |
105 | replied Charles,"what''s an evening party? |
105 | said Elizabeth; and without waiting for an answer,"And pray what brings the Crofts to Bath?" |
105 | said he,"and who is Miss Anne Elliot to be visiting in Westgate Buildings? |
105 | what can you possibly have to do?" |
105 | what was his name? |
105 | when shall I leave you again?" |
105 | you are acquainted with him?" |
1118 | ''Shall I,''says she,''that have so oft encount''red him with scorn, write to him that I love him?''" |
1118 | All this is so; but what of this, my lord? |
1118 | All thy tediousness on me, ah? |
1118 | And I pray thee now tell me, for which of my bad parts didst thou first fall in love with me? |
1118 | And a good soldier to a lady; but what is he to a lord? |
1118 | And did they bid you tell her of it, madam? |
1118 | And how do you? |
1118 | And how long is that, think you? |
1118 | And now tell me, how doth your cousin? |
1118 | And seem''d I ever otherwise to you? |
1118 | And thought they Margaret was Hero? |
1118 | And what have I to give you back whose worth May counterpoise this rich and precious gift? |
1118 | And when I have heard it, what blessings brings it? |
1118 | And when please you to say so? |
1118 | And when was he wo nt to wash his face? |
1118 | And who? |
1118 | And you too, gentle Hero? |
1118 | Are our eyes our own? |
1118 | Are these things spoken, or do I but dream? |
1118 | Are they good? |
1118 | Are you good men and true? |
1118 | Are you not Signior Benedick? |
1118 | Are you so hasty now? |
1118 | Are you yet determin''d To- day to marry with my brother''s daughter? |
1118 | Art thou sick or angry? |
1118 | Art thou the slave that with thy breath hast kill''d Mine innocent child? |
1118 | Benedick, didst thou note the daughter of Signior Leonato? |
1118 | Benedictus? |
1118 | But I hope you have no intent to turn husband, have you? |
1118 | But I pray you, who is his companion? |
1118 | But are you sure That Benedick loves Beatrice so entirely? |
1118 | But art not thou thyself giddy with the fashion too, that thou hast shifted out of thy tale into telling me of the fashion? |
1118 | But did my brother set thee on to this? |
1118 | But did you think the Prince would have served you thus? |
1118 | But doth not the appetite alters? |
1118 | But for which of my good parts did you first suffer love for me? |
1118 | But how many hath he kill''d? |
1118 | But seest thou not what a deformed thief this fashion is? |
1118 | But speak you this with a sad brow? |
1118 | But when shall we set the savage bull''s horns on the sensible Benedick''s head? |
1118 | But which are the offenders that are to be examined? |
1118 | But who dare tell her so? |
1118 | Can the world buy such a jewel? |
1118 | Can this be true? |
1118 | Can virtue hide itself? |
1118 | Can you make no use of your discontent? |
1118 | Can you smell him out by that? |
1118 | Canst thou so daff me? |
1118 | Child I for that at frugal nature''s frame? |
1118 | Come, come, do you think I do not know you by your excellent wit? |
1118 | Come, in what key shall a man take you to go in the song? |
1118 | Come, shall we hear this music? |
1118 | Come, will you go with me? |
1118 | Could she here deny The story that is printed in her blood? |
1118 | Count Claudio? |
1118 | County Claudio, when mean you to go to church? |
1118 | Did I not tell you she was innocent? |
1118 | Did he break out into tears? |
1118 | Did he never make you laugh? |
1118 | Did he not say my brother was fled? |
1118 | Did you see him? |

1118 | First, who think you the most desartless man to be constable? |
1118 | For a hawk, a horse, or a husband? |
1118 | God''s my life, where''s the sexton? |
1118 | Good Signior Leonato, are you come to meet your trouble? |
1118 | Griev''d I, I had but one? |

1118 | In private? |

1118 | Officers, what offence have these men done? |
1118 | Please it your Grace lead on? |
1118 | Runs not this speech like iron through your blood? |
1118 | See you where Benedick hath hid himself? |
1118 | Seest thou not, I say, what a deformed thief this fashion is? |
1118 | Shall I draw it? |
1118 | Shall I never see a bachelor of threescore again? |
1118 | Shall I not find a woodcock too? |
1118 | Shall I speak a word in your ear? |
1118 | Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humour? |
1118 | Shall we go prove what''s to be done? |
1118 | Shall we go seek Benedick and tell him of her love? |
1118 | Signior? |
1118 | Sits the wind in that corner? |
1118 | Stand I condemn''d for pride and scorn so much? |
1118 | Sweet Beatrice, wouldst thou come when I call''d thee? |
1118 | Sweet Prince, why speak not you? |
1118 | The sight whereof I think you had from me, From Claudio, and the Prince; but what''s your will? |
1118 | Then you do not love me? |
1118 | Think you in your soul the Count Claudio hath wrong''d Hero? |
1118 | To be whipt? |
1118 | To do what, signior? |
1118 | To have no man come over me? |
1118 | To what end? |
1118 | Was not Count John here at supper? |
1118 | Wast not to this end That thou began''st to twist so fine a story? |
1118 | Well then, go you into hell? |
1118 | Were it good, think you? |
1118 | Were you in doubt, sir, that you ask''d her? |

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