38167 | Or did they shirk their duty to their country so very adroitly that they hate to be reminded of it? |
38167 | Perkins replied, sir, do I perform my duty satisfactorily to your house? |
38167 | Well, then, as I was also born in Accomack, does not that make us cousins? |
21321 | A fine piece of work,he said;"who wrote it-- you or Redfield?" |
21321 | Advance? 21321 Advance?" |
21321 | After all, why should the spirit of mortal be proud? |
21321 | Ah, you do n''t? 21321 And have you found such a woman?" |
21321 | And how can I help you now? |
21321 | And if so ready to read an unspoken purpose in my mind, then why not read the cause of it? |
21321 | And may I ask the name of this lady who knows more about my own house than I do? |
21321 | And may I ask what is the gossip? |
21321 | And that I am suffering from disappointment because the spy has not been found? |
21321 | And the Secretary? |
21321 | And those wishes are? |

21321 | Are n''t you going to do it? |
21321 | Are they genuine? |
21321 | Are they not a salute for somebody? |
21321 | Are we on doubtful ground? |

21321 | Are you just discovering that, at your age, mother? |
21321 | Are you speaking of Miss Catherwood? |
21321 | Are you thinking of Lucia Catherwood? |
21321 | Are you, too, hit? |
21321 | But Miss Catherwood, do you not fear for yourself? 21321 But do you stop to think what you are fighting for?" |
21321 | But if you are not you will come? |
21321 | But is n''t there some pain yet? |
21321 | But is there a way? |
21321 | But to return to the question of the spy,said Mr. Sefton, tenaciously,"have you really no opinion, Captain Prescott? |
21321 | But what business is that of yours? |
21321 | But what of Helen? |
21321 | But you have not answered my question: is the Secretary married? |
21321 | But you will some other time? |
21321 | But you? 21321 By what right do you seek to direct my actions?" |
21321 | Ca n''t you see? 21321 Can I see Miss Catherwood?" |
21321 | Can the Colonel see me? |
21321 | Captain Prescott,she asked,"why have you done so much for me?" |
21321 | Confederate money? |
21321 | Did Morgan bring any new recruits for General Lee''s army? |
21321 | Did my tone imply criticism? |
21321 | Do n''t I know that you, unaided, brought me to that house? 21321 Do n''t you hear that music? |
21321 | Do n''t you hear the bell? |
21321 | Do n''t you see that I am freezing on your doorstep? |

21321 | Do you know the way to Richmond? |
21321 | Do you know what it is to sit in the dark and the cold when you love the warmth and the light and the music? 21321 Do you know what it is to stay in hiding-- to be confined within the four walls of one room?" |
21321 | Do you know where this woman is, Captain Prescott? |
21321 | Do you know, sir, that I belong to the Confederate Congress? |
21321 | Do you know,said Talbot,"I begin to believe that Richmond would n''t amount to much of a town in the North?" |
21321 | Do you know,she said,"that the Mosaic Club meets again to- night and perhaps for the last time? |
21321 | Do you not know better than to leave Miss Grayson''s house, and, above all, to come to this place? 21321 Do you think I should have gone to all this trouble and touched upon so many springs merely to capture one misguided girl? |
21321 | Do you think she needs all that protection? |
21321 | Do you think so? |
21321 | Do you want me to give you this property? |
21321 | Do you wear such thin clothing as this out there in those cold forests? |
21321 | Does either army mean to move? |
21321 | Does it not then occur to you, Captain Prescott, that you are proceeding upon a very slender basis when you doubt my word? |
21321 | Does n''t it seem strange that the dead cold of winter alone should mean peace nowadays? |
21321 | Eh? |
21321 | Following a woman? |
21321 | For sale? |
21321 | General, would you let gallantry override patriotism? |
21321 | Gloves? |
21321 | Gold or Confederate money? |
21321 | Grayson, Charlotte Grayson? |
21321 | Has Mr. Sefton been gone long? |
21321 | Has anything more been heard of the stolen papers? |
21321 | Has he ever hit anybody? |
21321 | Has he learned anything more? |
21321 | Have you noticed, Robert,she asked,"that we see complete victory for the South again? |
21321 | Helen,he said,"go to the window, will you?" |
21321 | How did you know that, mother? |
21321 | How do you know that I want to return? |
21321 | How do you know? |
21321 | How do you propose going about it? |
21321 | How happens it, mother,he asked,"that this food is still warm? |
21321 | How is that-- no news? |
21321 | How long do you think it is until daylight? |
21321 | How long has it been since we won a great victory? 21321 How many of these people who are making so much noise have anything whatever to do with the war?" |
21321 | How much for the lot? |
21321 | How''s the_ Patriot_? |
21321 | I am speaking to Miss Grayson? |
21321 | I did n''t know you were that kind of a man, Bob,he said;"but what luck?" |
21321 | I do n''t know; an hour, I suppose; why bother about it? |
21321 | I wonder what it can mean? |
21321 | I''ll give you seventy- five dollars cash or five hundred on a credit,said Talbot;"now which will you take?" |
21321 | I, too, have leave of absence, Prescott,he said,"and what better could a man do than spend it in Richmond?" |
21321 | I? |
21321 | If a man have a power over a woman he loves, can you blame him if he use it to get that which he wishes? |
21321 | If she would,repeated Prescott;"but will she?" |
21321 | If you have won your heart''s desire why do you rail at fate? |
21321 | If you love this young man, are you quite sure that he loves you? |
21321 | In May? |
21321 | Is Mr. Sefton a bachelor? |
21321 | Is a woman who plays the part of a spy, a part that most men would scorn, entitled to much consideration? |
21321 | Is it a funeral song? |
21321 | Is it coming? 21321 Is it really over?" |
21321 | Is it the custom of Southern gentlemen to accost ladies in this manner? |
21321 | Is it true-- true that Lee has surrendered? |
21321 | Is n''t it true, Prescott, that a man is always appreciated least by his own family? |
21321 | Is n''t this world beautiful at times? |
21321 | Is n''t war a glorious game? |
21321 | Is she to be blamed for it? |
21321 | Is that the name of a new sweetheart of yours, Robert? |
21321 | Is the Government to have a victory whenever it asks for it, merely because it does ask for it? |
21321 | Is this just a case of thumbs up and thumbs down? |
21321 | It is Miss Grayson, is it not? |
21321 | It is a pity----She stopped, and her son asked:"What is a pity, mother?" |
21321 | It is a question of veracity between you and me, and are you prepared to say that you alone tell the truth? |
21321 | It was true,he said,"that Sherman was before Atlanta, but what matter if he took it? |
21321 | It''s true I was thinking of something else,replied Prescott with a smile,"and did not see what was about me; but how are you, General?" |
21321 | May I take the reins? |
21321 | May I walk a little with you, Captain Prescott? |
21321 | Miss Catherwood is still here, is she not? |
21321 | Miss Catherwood is still with you, is she not? |
21321 | Mother, will you lend me an umbrella? |
21321 | Mother,he asked presently,"was there not some one else in this room when I came in? |
21321 | Mother,he said to her the next day as they sat before the fire,"did you ever hear of any lady named Miss Charlotte Grayson?" |
21321 | Mr. Sefton,exclaimed Prescott angrily,"why should we fence with words any longer? |
21321 | Neither now nor ever? 21321 Neither?" |
21321 | Nor me? |
21321 | Now what shall I call you? |
21321 | Now? |
21321 | Overshoes? |
21321 | Say, old Johnny Reb,he asked,"what do you fellows want anyway?" |
21321 | Shall we ever see each other again? |
21321 | Shall we go now? |
21321 | Shall we make the limit ten cents in coin or ten dollars Confederate money? |
21321 | Shall we take this woman? |
21321 | Should I not play my cards? |
21321 | Should n''t a woman who does such things suffer punishment like a man? |
21321 | Since that is your theory, my dear Captain, what motive would you assign? |
21321 | So you''ve been in Richmond, Mr. Farmer; how long were you there? |
21321 | The Secretary of what? |
21321 | The Yankees are poor horsemen-- not to be compared with ours, are they, Miss Catherwood? |
21321 | Then can you tell me, Mr. Prescott, why General Lee does not drive the Yankees out of Virginia? |
21321 | Then what have you done with them? |
21321 | Then why are you out here at such an hour, seeking to escape from Richmond? |
21321 | Then why do you ask me such a fool question? |
21321 | Then why do you espouse such a cause? |
21321 | Then why have you held your hand? |
21321 | Then you admit that it is true? |
21321 | Then you call this a weakness and regret it? |
21321 | Then you will make no promise? |
21321 | There are many other women in Richmond,she replied,"and as they will not be in any greater danger than I, should I be less brave than they?" |
21321 | There''s somebody else? |
21321 | They complain that we should send them supplies and reinforcements, do they not? |
21321 | To search it for what? |
21321 | Unwomanly? 21321 Warm?" |
21321 | Was it for such a reason that you gave me a pass to Richmond and helped me to come here? |
21321 | Well, mother, what is the matter? |
21321 | Well, sir? |
21321 | Well? |
21321 | What ails you, boy? |
21321 | What are they doing these days up there on Shockoe? |
21321 | What are you doing here? |
21321 | What are you selling, Tom? |
21321 | What business can she have with a man like Sefton? |
21321 | What can it mean? |
21321 | What do they mean by firing on us when we''re not bothering them? |
21321 | What do those shots mean? |
21321 | What do you do it for? |
21321 | What do you intend to do now? |
21321 | What do you mean by that? |
21321 | What do you mean, mother? |
21321 | What do you mean? |
21321 | What do you mean? |
21321 | What do you see there at the window? |
21321 | What do you think of a fellow who would do such a thing? |
21321 | What do you think of our chances of capture, Captain? |
21321 | What do you want, Johnny Reb? |
21321 | What does that noise mean? |
21321 | What has he done for you? |
21321 | What have you there? |
21321 | What is it that you see? |
21321 | What is it? 21321 What is it?" |
21321 | What is it? |
21321 | What is that? |
21321 | What is that? |
21321 | What is this bundle that you have? |
21321 | What is your name? |
21321 | What is your wish? |
21321 | What of her? |
21321 | What shall we do? |
21321 | What signifies that? 21321 What then?" |
21321 | What then? |
21321 | What was it, Charlotte? |
21321 | When did you arrive? |
21321 | When do you think Grant will advance again? |
21321 | When? |
21321 | Where are you from, Elias, and what are you doing here? |
21321 | Where are you going? |
21321 | Where could one find a more brilliant scene than this? |
21321 | Where have you been? |
21321 | Where were you hidden that day my friend Talbot searched for you and I looked on? |
21321 | Where were you hidden when we searched Miss Grayson''s house? |
21321 | Which way shall we go? |
21321 | Who are you? |
21321 | Who could have thought it? |
21321 | Who in Richmond has not heard of Miss Charlotte Grayson, the gallant champion of the Northern Cause and of the Union of the States forever? 21321 Who is Helen?" |
21321 | Who is Helen? |
21321 | Who is it to be, Miss Catherwood or Miss Harley? |
21321 | Who is she-- and what is she? 21321 Who left it, mother?" |
21321 | Who says so, mother? |
21321 | Who, for instance? |
21321 | Why am I here-- why am I here,he repeated,"when the greatest battle of all the world is being fought?" |
21321 | Why are you here? |
21321 | Why are you so silent, Captain Prescott? |
21321 | Why do you come here? |
21321 | Why do you insult me? |
21321 | Why do you interest yourself in two poor lone women? 21321 Why do you study the Yankees so hard?" |
21321 | Why do you, a Confederate officer, trouble yourself about a woman who, you say, has acted as a spy for the North? |
21321 | Why do you? |
21321 | Why have n''t you been to see us? |
21321 | Why is the place so silent? |
21321 | Why my friend rather than the friend of anybody else? |
21321 | Why not speak it? 21321 Why not speak it?" |
21321 | Why not, mother? |
21321 | Why not? 21321 Why not?" |
21321 | Why should I go out into the cold? |
21321 | Why so grave, Prescott? |
21321 | Why these conditions? |
21321 | Why, what do you know of Miss Catherwood? |
21321 | Why, what news have you? |
21321 | Why, you do n''t think that we shall lose, do you? |
21321 | Why? |
21321 | Will all the city burn, Robert? |
21321 | Will he win her? |
21321 | Will he win her? |
21321 | Will it profit me more to be killed in a decent uniform than in a ragged one? |
21321 | Will three in the afternoon do? 21321 Will you care for her as if she were your own, your sister?" |
21321 | Will you spare Miss Catherwood? |
21321 | Will you wait here a moment in the wagon, Miss Catherwood, until I go to the top of the hill? |
21321 | With good nursing? |
21321 | Wo n''t you come, Lucia? |
21321 | Wo n''t you explain yourself more clearly, mother? |
21321 | Would you dare? |
21321 | Would you like to hear what he''s saying? |
21321 | Yes; why not? |
21321 | You are going with the wounded to Richmond? |
21321 | You are leaving? |
21321 | You are safe now,she said, with the old touch of irony in her voice;"they will not find you here with me, so why do you linger?" |
21321 | You ask why I kept this secret? |
21321 | You have been comfortable here, mother? |
21321 | You have said that you love me; do men make threats to the women whom they love? |
21321 | You have? |
21321 | You know him? |
21321 | You live here? |
21321 | You mean that so long as you were in Richmond my ruin was possible because I helped you? |
21321 | You will come to see me again? |
21321 | You will go with us? 21321 You will stay by me?" |
21321 | You wish to know who is there? |
21321 | You would not rob me, would you? 21321 Your brother?" |
21321 | ''I''d like to know what use a soldier has for money?'' |
21321 | ''The price?'' |
21321 | ''What''s that got to do with it?'' |
21321 | A goodly heritage, is it not? |
21321 | After all, why should n''t she? |
21321 | Again I ask you what kind of a man do you think I am? |
21321 | Ai n''t your State the place where all they need is more water and better society, just the same as hell?" |
21321 | Alone, I suppose?" |
21321 | Am I responsible? |
21321 | Am I to care for the safety of those who are fighting me?" |
21321 | And is it not a just and kind Providence?" |
21321 | And who were the ladies? |
21321 | Are all the powers of the Confederate Government to be gathered for the purpose of making war on one poor lone woman? |
21321 | Are we to belie those words?" |
21321 | Are you a girl to refuse such liquor?" |
21321 | Are you a mad woman?" |
21321 | Are you not coming?" |
21321 | Are you not on the side of the South? |
21321 | Are you not venturing into danger again?" |
21321 | Are you sure that he is worthy?" |
21321 | But does our Government expect to make itself an oligarchy or despotism? |
21321 | But how about affairs that are not private? |
21321 | But what more of Helen, mother? |
21321 | But who was winning now? |
21321 | But whose cavalry?" |
21321 | But, tell me, is it really true? |
21321 | Ca n''t you forget my follies and remember at least the few good things that I have done?" |
21321 | Can you do both?" |
21321 | Could it be that a woman in such a position was laughing at the man who had helped her? |
21321 | Could the heart of the Secretary have followed the course of his own? |
21321 | Death? |
21321 | Did he mean to cast some slur upon his conduct? |
21321 | Did it not mean that she and the Secretary had become allies more than friends? |
21321 | Did n''t you see how hard he was thinking back there?" |
21321 | Did the Secretary know, or were his words mere chance? |
21321 | Did you ever before hear of such soldiers?" |
21321 | Did you never think how hard it was for women to sit with their hands folded, waiting for this war to end?" |
21321 | Do I not know that I am in a hostile city?" |
21321 | Do n''t you hear it? |
21321 | Do n''t you know, Captain Prescott, that Grant will never turn back? |
21321 | Do n''t you see it, I say?" |
21321 | Do n''t you see what is coming? |
21321 | Do n''t you see?" |
21321 | Do you ever think, Robert, what such questions as these, so simple in peace, mean now to Richmond?" |
21321 | Do you know anything about her?" |
21321 | Do you know how long we have been here watching?" |
21321 | Do you not remember when they wished to arrest her, and Lieutenant Talbot searched the cottage for her? |
21321 | Do you not see that I love you? |
21321 | Do you realize that we are fighting against the tide, or, to put it differently, against the weight of all the ages? |
21321 | Do you suppose that I would accept such a proposition? |
21321 | Do you suppose that such an event as this would escape the notice of a servant? |
21321 | Do you think I have come so far to turn back now?" |
21321 | Do you think that you alone were made for enjoyment?" |
21321 | Do you think the result of a great war and the fate of a continent are to be decided by a pair of dark eyes?" |
21321 | For what purpose? |
21321 | Frankly, Captain Prescott, what kind of a man do you think I am?" |
21321 | Had any one been seen with her? |
21321 | Had he suffered from the cold? |
21321 | Have you actually gone to work-- as a clerk in an office, like a low- born Northern woman?" |
21321 | Have you ever thought how unstable may prove this Southern Confederacy for which we are spending so much blood?" |
21321 | He had no intention of scolding her, but his thought was:"Has any other man a mother like mine?" |
21321 | He understood the look in her eyes and replied:"You mean that Grant will come?" |
21321 | He waves his hand and says:''Why are they not here for me?'' |
21321 | He''s just drawn from one hat the words''Daddy Longlegs''and from the other''What sort of shoe was made on the last of the Mohicans?'' |
21321 | How can honest men fight for it?" |
21321 | How could I, a woman, do such a thing?" |
21321 | How could he believe her now? |
21321 | How many great battles is this since they met first in the Wilderness?" |
21321 | How much did he know, if anything? |
21321 | How will you get back into Richmond?" |
21321 | I ask you once more how many men did General Morgan bring with him?" |
21321 | I believe that you distinguished yourself in the great charge at Gettysburg?" |
21321 | If I happen to hold in my hand certain cards which chance has not dealt to you, can you blame me if I play them?" |
21321 | If Lucia should turn to some one else why might not he do the same? |
21321 | If that is so, I should like to know what we are fighting for?" |
21321 | If their names were not known, could not a description of their appearance be given? |
21321 | If they were going to fight again, why not wait until the next day? |
21321 | If you impair the public faith in us how can we accomplish anything?" |
21321 | Is Mr. Sefton as attentive as ever to his clerk?" |
21321 | Is he badly hurt?" |
21321 | Is it not singular that such a message should have been delivered by your son? |
21321 | Is it really coming to- day, under these skies so peaceful and beautiful?" |
21321 | Is n''t he, Helen?" |
21321 | It is very low and degrading, is n''t it?" |
21321 | It makes a question spring up in my mind, and that question is, how did you get it? |
21321 | Markham?" |
21321 | Mother, what do you mean?" |
21321 | Prescott crawled again from his wagon and said to her as she passed:"Why do you avoid me, Miss Catherwood?" |
21321 | Prescott waited until he was out of hearing before he said:"Do you like that man, Miss Catherwood?" |
21321 | Prescott was startled a little, but he hid his surprise under a calm voice when he asked:"What is this clue, or is it a secret?" |
21321 | President?" |
21321 | Sefton?" |
21321 | Sefton?" |
21321 | Sefton?" |
21321 | Sefton?" |
21321 | Shall we let it be an armed peace for the present?" |
21321 | She was silent for a little while, and then Prescott said:"Now will you answer a question of mine?" |
21321 | She was tall and strong, but was it so much strength and endurance as love and sacrifice? |
21321 | Talbot?" |
21321 | That was the reason she had given to herself and others-- but was it the whole reason? |
21321 | The boy began in a mechanical voice as of one who reads:"General Lee surrendered to General Grant to- day----""What''s that?" |
21321 | Then Wood dismounted, threw his bridle over his arm and said:"S''pose we go along together for awhile?" |
21321 | Then what do you think?" |
21321 | Then why not keep her near? |
21321 | There was a laugh, and Mrs. Markham asked:"Do you mean the second of your reasons as truth or as a mere compliment to my sex?" |
21321 | To be with Miss Grayson, her next of kin, and because she had no other place? |
21321 | Was he to be assigned to some particularly hard duty? |
21321 | Was it possible those two had a secret in common? |
21321 | Was not Providence kind to me? |
21321 | Was she seeking to arouse him to greater vigour in his suit? |
21321 | Was the love he bore her to be thrown aside for a price? |
21321 | Was there a tall woman with a brown cloak among them? |
21321 | Well, why not? |
21321 | What chance did the South ever have? |
21321 | What could the Secretary be to her? |
21321 | What did it matter if she was a Northern girl and a spy? |
21321 | What did it mean? |
21321 | What do I hear? |
21321 | What do I hear?" |
21321 | What do you think of it, Captain Prescott?" |
21321 | What do you think of it, Captain?" |
21321 | What does it mean?" |
21321 | What had become of Miss Catherwood? |
21321 | What harm can she do us? |
21321 | What is that something? |
21321 | What right did he have to accuse her? |
21321 | What right had she among these people who were not hers? |
21321 | What was that? |
21321 | What were the Yankees, anyway, but a leaderless horde? |
21321 | What would Talbot say, he thought, if he were to tell him that this was the girl for whom he had searched Miss Grayson''s house? |
21321 | What would be its fate? |
21321 | What would his comrades say of him if they caught him here? |
21321 | What, then, becomes the duty of the people of Richmond in view of the mighty conflict at hand? |
21321 | Where did she come from? |
21321 | Where has Helen gone to work?" |
21321 | Where was she now? |
21321 | Which way does it lie, Robert?" |
21321 | Who was losing, who was winning out there beyond the veil of the forest where the pall of smoke rose? |
21321 | Who was she who had come with the other army, and why should she be there? |
21321 | Who was she, why was she here, and what would be her fate? |
21321 | Who''ll buy? |
21321 | Who''ll buy? |
21321 | Whom else could I ask?" |
21321 | Why do you try to help them?" |
21321 | Why had not General Lee given some hint of its contents? |
21321 | Why had she come back to Richmond, from which she had escaped amid such dangers? |
21321 | Why not let me go now?" |
21321 | Why should I ruin you? |
21321 | Why should I think it?" |
21321 | Why should he be influenced by the idle words of some idle man in the street? |
21321 | Why should he trouble himself about her? |
21321 | Why should it? |
21321 | Why should she seek now to save Prescott? |
21321 | Why should you risk yourself?" |
21321 | Why?" |
21321 | Will you permit me to say that I think it indiscreet?" |
21321 | With that army which hung like a thunder cloud on their front? |
21321 | Would they fight again at such a time? |
21321 | Would they not, Captain Prescott?" |
21321 | Would you ruin her here, as you can do, where she has so many friends, and where it is possible for her life to be happy?" |
21321 | You adhere to your refusal?" |
21321 | You can stay with him, I suppose? |
21321 | You mean that coal and wood are scarce and money still scarcer?" |
21321 | You promise?" |
21321 | You wish to protect me-- does a man marry a woman merely to protect her? |
21321 | exclaimed Prescott passionately,"have you nothing to say to me? |
21321 | she said,"What is to become of you?" |
37463 | About Wythe? 37463 Ah, you walk, do you? |
37463 | Ai n''t you Miss Carrie Warwick''s chile, honey? 37463 Alan''s infatuation-- for he is infatuated, is n''t he?" |
37463 | All because he likes to read his plays to her? |
37463 | And Cousin Matty tells me that you are going away to camp? |
37463 | And afterwards? 37463 And did he tell you why?" |
37463 | And does she know? 37463 And does your Aunt Mary want something too?" |
37463 | And happy, darling? |
37463 | And he talked to you about such things? |
37463 | And how will he know if God has appointed him? |
37463 | And is Alan his heir? |
37463 | And is that a very long time? |
37463 | And she said nothing about to- night? |
37463 | And that I came out to meet him? |
37463 | And what did you tell him? |
37463 | And why, if I may ask? |
37463 | And yet David believed that you were meeting him? |
37463 | And you ask me to send Alan away because you are jealous? 37463 And you believe that the South is ready for another party? |
37463 | And you have never met him before? 37463 And you take what the doctor gives you too?" |
37463 | And you think she ought to be warned? |
37463 | And you think that a public quarrel would clear it? |
37463 | And you will think of yourself? 37463 Angelica, ca n''t you see that this has gone too far, this nonsense of Alan''s?" |
37463 | Are n''t you every one except Cousin Charles? 37463 Are you all right again, Mary?" |
37463 | Are you ill? |
37463 | Are you really going out in this cold? 37463 Are you sure you ought n''t to say something to Angelica?" |
37463 | As if it mattered how things look? 37463 Ask that Rip Van Winkle, Miss Meade, if he was asleep while we made a new constitution and eliminated the vote of the negroes? |
37463 | At the cost of your career? 37463 But I thought you nursed all the Fitzhughs? |
37463 | But did n''t she care anything for him? |
37463 | But do n''t you need rest? 37463 But even then? |
37463 | But father says it is a war to end war,Letty replied, and her next question was,"But if you want to fight, why do you want to end war?" |
37463 | But how do I know that these are n''t the shadows of mother and of Margaret? |
37463 | But if you go and Alan goes and Uncle Roane goes, what will become of mother? |
37463 | But she knows, does n''t she? |
37463 | But what does it mean? 37463 But what is the truth?" |
37463 | But why should Mr. Blackburn have wanted her to go? 37463 But why?" |
37463 | But you knew I''d gone out to see Mandy? 37463 But you seemed so happy there?" |
37463 | By the way, have you got your costume for the tableaux? 37463 By the way, is it true about Blackburn''s vaulting ambition, or is it just newspaper stuff?" |
37463 | Ca n''t you hear it? |
37463 | Ca n''t you see that Miss Meade is provoked with you? |
37463 | Can you imagine me wearing the finest emeralds in America? |
37463 | Can you see the garden? |
37463 | Can you stay long now? 37463 Can you understand,"Angelica gazed at her as if she were probing her soul,"what his attraction is for women?" |
37463 | Could the war have changed her? 37463 Could you tell her, do you think?" |
37463 | David, do you really think we are going to have war? |
37463 | David, may I come in? 37463 David,"he asked in a curiously inanimate voice,"have you heard the things people are saying about you?" |
37463 | David,said the housekeeper bluntly,"do n''t you think that this thing has been going on long enough?" |
37463 | David,she began in a pleading tone,"are n''t you going to have tea with me?" |
37463 | Did John put in the bag? |
37463 | Did he say he would tell Angelica? |
37463 | Did he tell you just what political capital he expects to make out of my discharging him? 37463 Did it, darling? |
37463 | Did she say that? |
37463 | Did she tell you that? |
37463 | Did you ever see any one in your life look so lovely? |
37463 | Did you find Mary? |
37463 | Did you have a good time, darling? |
37463 | Did you know that Angelica was coming back? |
37463 | Did you order the car, Mammy Riah? |
37463 | Do I know why? |
37463 | Do I, darling? 37463 Do I?" |
37463 | Do n''t you think it would be better to talk first to Mary? |
37463 | Do n''t you think now we have done all that is necessary? |
37463 | Do n''t you think she would make an adorable Peace? |
37463 | Do n''t you think we can manage to keep out of it? |
37463 | Do you call his plays nonsense? |
37463 | Do you know why? 37463 Do you like David Blackburn?" |
37463 | Do you like nothing for yourself? 37463 Do you mean she would want to come back?" |
37463 | Do you mean with me? |
37463 | Do you need anything? |
37463 | Do you never put down your knitting? |
37463 | Do you suppose I am the kind of woman to talk of a man''s being''taken away,''as if he were a loaf of bread to be handed from one woman to another? 37463 Do you suppose mother will come back now that you have?" |
37463 | Do you suppose she really believes what she says? |
37463 | Do you think Alan is hoping for it? |
37463 | Do you think I am going to be well, Mammy? |
37463 | Do you think Miss Meade is an angel, Uncle Roane? |
37463 | Do you think Mr. Blackburn feels as strongly as he talks? |
37463 | Do you think it is ambition with him? 37463 Do you think it is warm enough in here, Miss Meade?" |
37463 | Do you think it will do David any real harm? |
37463 | Do you think she has forgotten to come for us? |
37463 | Do you want anything, darling? 37463 Do you want anything?" |
37463 | Do you want to come in with me, Letty? |
37463 | Do you want to come in? |
37463 | Do you wish anything? |
37463 | Does anybody follow him, or is he all alone? |
37463 | Does n''t it bring it all back again? |
37463 | Does she faint often? |
37463 | Does that matter? 37463 Even our fairest dreams-- the dream of individual freedom-- what has become of it? |
37463 | Every gift is better that includes sacrifice, do n''t you feel? 37463 Father fought for his country, did n''t he?" |
37463 | Father knew life,she thought,"I wonder what he would have seen in all this? |
37463 | Father, will you go to war if Uncle Roane does? |
37463 | Father, wo n''t you please give Ridley his work again? |
37463 | Free to sink, or to swim with the current? |
37463 | From Briarlay? |
37463 | Good of me? 37463 Had n''t you better go to bed, Mammy Riah?" |
37463 | Has Alan said anything to you about it? |
37463 | Has John got the bag? |
37463 | Has Mary gone out of the room? |
37463 | Has anybody hurt your feelings? |
37463 | Has mother come in? |
37463 | Has she fallen asleep so quickly? |
37463 | Has there been any change? |
37463 | Has there ever been a time when I did not understand? |
37463 | Have you decided when you will be married? |
37463 | Have you heard anything of her? |
37463 | Have you known Mrs. Blackburn long? |
37463 | Have you noticed that Mary is not well? |
37463 | Have you said anything to Angelica? |
37463 | Have you said anything to Angelica? |
37463 | Have you some aromatic ammonia at hand, Miss Meade? 37463 He does? |
37463 | He told you that? |
37463 | How can I be happy? |
37463 | How can she be? 37463 How could I know? |
37463 | How could you hurt me? |
37463 | How dare you think such a thing of me? |
37463 | How in the world shall I ever speak to him after this? |
37463 | How indeed? 37463 How is Letty?" |
37463 | How long has she had it? |
37463 | How on earth could you have got such an idea? |
37463 | How shall I ever stay under the same roof with him? |
37463 | I am so glad, dear, but there has n''t been anything to hurt you, has there? 37463 I came to ask you,"she said very quietly,"if it would not be better to tell Mrs. Blackburn the truth about Letty?" |
37463 | I came to see if you could come out for the night? 37463 I do n''t mean the box garden, I mean the real garden where the flowers are?" |
37463 | I heard him say so, but do n''t you think you had better put on a wrap? 37463 I hope the sound of politics will not frighten you?" |
37463 | I know you''ve never tasted the delight of stolen fishing in the creek under the willows? |
37463 | I know--''Brother Charles''--but who are the Ashburtons? |
37463 | I mean will you give me money? |
37463 | I remember-- and blackberry wine in blue glasses? |
37463 | I should have stopped what? |
37463 | I stopped by to bring you the lace edging you needed, and to ask if you have finished any of the little pillow slips? 37463 I suppose everything is fair in politics, but it does seem a little underhand of Colfax does n''t it? |
37463 | I suppose he is anxious about Letty? |
37463 | I suppose they forgot to tell John,she thought,"or can it be the doctor so soon?" |
37463 | I think we are about to break off diplomatic relations----"And that means war, does n''t it? |
37463 | I thought you were doing a muffler? |
37463 | I wish I knew what you are talking about,said Angelica wearily,"Roane, do you get out here?" |
37463 | I wonder how Letty is getting on? |
37463 | I wonder if he used to do it once, and if he has stopped because he has seen deeper than any of the others? |
37463 | I wonder if it would n''t be better just to let him make his breaks and not notice them? 37463 I wonder if she is ever afraid that she may lose him? |
37463 | I wonder why some woman has n''t killed him before this? 37463 I''d like to know why I am not?" |
37463 | I''ll tell him at breakfast, but ought n''t Letty''s mother to know how anxious I am? |
37463 | I''m dying for my tea, dear, is n''t it ready? |
37463 | I''ve often wondered,said the younger Mrs. Colfax,"if Roane Fitzhugh is as bad as people say he is?" |
37463 | If it is really necessary----? |
37463 | If we were not so poor I''d go to France,she reflected,"but how could they possibly do without the hundred dollars a month I can earn?" |
37463 | In a case like this, do n''t you think, dear Mrs. Ashburton, that a woman owes a duty to humanity? |
37463 | In the nursery? |
37463 | Is Letty really so ill? 37463 Is Mr. Blackburn obliged to go with us?" |
37463 | Is Mr. Wythe coming? |
37463 | Is anything the matter? |
37463 | Is anything wrong, dear? |
37463 | Is everything being done that is possible? |
37463 | Is father an angel too? |
37463 | Is it possible that she is capable of an evasion? |
37463 | Is it possible that you think this was a meeting? 37463 Is it really as grave as we fear, Miss Meade?" |
37463 | Is it strong enough to overturn the old prejudices? |
37463 | Is it true that Alan will be one of the richest men in the West? |
37463 | Is it true? 37463 Is n''t Friday almost here now?" |
37463 | Is n''t it strange,said Caroline,"that the nice people never seem to have enough money and the disagreeable ones seem to have a great deal too much? |
37463 | Is n''t it true that you felt an interest-- that you were trying to help him? |
37463 | Is n''t she the one to send him away? |
37463 | Is n''t there anything that you can say, David? |
37463 | Is she awake? |
37463 | Is she often like this? |
37463 | Is that all? |
37463 | Is there a baby? 37463 Is there any medicine that she is accustomed to take?" |
37463 | Is there any trouble? |
37463 | Is there anything else? |
37463 | Is you gwine away, honey? |
37463 | Is you''bleeged ter go? |
37463 | It is constructive work, not fighting now, is n''t it? |
37463 | It is the machinery of war-- but, after all, what does it matter if it only helps to win? |
37463 | It seemed too cruel-- but was n''t that just what Mrs. Timberlake meant when she said that Mr. Blackburn''would n''t mince matters?'' |
37463 | It would make you happier if she came back? |
37463 | It''s funny, is n''t it, the way life works out? |
37463 | Letty, darling, are you better? |
37463 | Mary,he said suddenly,"what is the trouble? |
37463 | May I have a puff and a tart too, mother? |
37463 | May I pour it for you? 37463 May I take Miss Meade with me?" |
37463 | Miss Meade, did you get a chance to speak to David? |
37463 | Miss Meade, do you remember the story about the little girl who got lost and went to live with the fairies? 37463 Miss Meade, have you the time? |
37463 | Miss Meade, will you make me a promise? |
37463 | Miss Meade, will you please come as quickly as you can? |
37463 | Mr. Wythe? 37463 No, why should he tell me? |
37463 | Not about that; but considering the uncertainty of the immediate future, do n''t you think we might try, in some way, to cut down a bit? |
37463 | Nothing, I mean, that I may say to your sister? |
37463 | Of course he is a Democrat? |
37463 | Of you? |
37463 | Oh, Doctor, she is n''t really so ill, is she? |
37463 | Oh, Miss Meade, do you think I am going to be well for Aunt Mary''s wedding? |
37463 | Oh, Miss Meade, was n''t it perfectly awful last evening? |
37463 | Oh, are you still trying to deceive me? |
37463 | Oh, but do n''t you see that this hurts me most of all? |
37463 | Oh, is Aunt Mary really going to be married at last? |
37463 | Oh, it''s all rot, I know, but how the deuce does such tittle- tattle get started? 37463 Oh, mother does n''t want one,"returned the child:"The big ones are hers, are n''t they, father?" |
37463 | Oh, she''ll make him want her-- or try to----"Do you think she can? |
37463 | Oh, what are you saying? 37463 Order the car?" |
37463 | People do change, do n''t they? |
37463 | Perhaps, then, there is no need of my speaking to her? |
37463 | Ridley? 37463 Say something? |
37463 | See through things? 37463 She ca n''t be doing it just to pose as an ill- treated wife? |
37463 | She says she wants to come back? |
37463 | So it is Alan now? 37463 So you think if someone were to mention it?" |
37463 | Take that up to the second floor, John, and ask Mrs. Ridley if she got the yarn I sent for the socks? |
37463 | That one thing is the only thing? |
37463 | The British navy, you mean? 37463 The fundamental thing?" |
37463 | The news is good, is n''t it? |
37463 | Then I may assume that the worst is still to be told you? |
37463 | Then I must laugh a great deal for you, Letty, and the more we laugh together the happier we''ll be, sha n''t we? |
37463 | Then if you are n''t afraid of me, why do you avoid me? |
37463 | Then it is n''t really pneumonia? |
37463 | Then perhaps Miss Meade and Letty may take pity on me? |
37463 | Then she did n''t get the divorce? |
37463 | Then she wo n''t be expecting you? |
37463 | Then things must go on, as they are, to the-- end? |
37463 | Then why do you ask me? 37463 Then why does n''t Mrs. Blackburn know about them?" |
37463 | Then you must be Mammy Riah? 37463 Then you no longer care for him?" |
37463 | Then you refuse positively to let me send Miss Meade away? |
37463 | There is a fighting chance, is n''t there? |
37463 | There is no doubt about war, is there? |
37463 | There is no trouble about Alan, is there? 37463 There is nothing else, is there?" |
37463 | There is something else then? |
37463 | These meetings? |
37463 | This nonsense? |
37463 | This thing? |
37463 | To Washington? |
37463 | To how many ends? |
37463 | To keep out of it? |
37463 | To warn me? |
37463 | Unconditionally? |
37463 | Understand what? |
37463 | Until the end of the war? |
37463 | Was Cousin Matty up there? |
37463 | Was n''t it funny? |
37463 | Was she always so delicate? |
37463 | Well, I suppose they would n''t have been happy together----"Do you know why she did it? |
37463 | Well, I''ve waited awhile, have n''t I? |
37463 | Well, after all, why should I decline? 37463 Well, daughter, it is n''t a birthday, is it?" |
37463 | Well, how in the world are they going to find out any more than they are told? 37463 Well, if Angelica enjoys them?" |
37463 | Well, if mother is an angel, why are n''t you one? 37463 Well, it takes some sense to manage it, you must admit?" |
37463 | Well, the old chap''s in town, is n''t he? |
37463 | Well, what is the trouble now? 37463 Were you asleep, father?" |
37463 | What are the stories? |
37463 | What can we do, Miss Meade, to help you? |
37463 | What difference does it make if the whole world is going to ruin? |
37463 | What does she say? |
37463 | What does that word mean, father? |
37463 | What has Miss Meade to do with it? |
37463 | What has happened? 37463 What has life done to you?" |
37463 | What has made the trouble, Mary? |
37463 | What is the war about, Alan? |
37463 | What searching eyes that man has,she observed carelessly, and added immediately,"You know him?" |
37463 | What was there she could gain by it? |
37463 | Where are we going now, mother? |
37463 | Where did you find it? |
37463 | Who has told you that? |
37463 | Who knows? |
37463 | Why are you always so busy, mother? |
37463 | Why do n''t they try to find out the truth? |
37463 | Why has n''t any one told her? |
37463 | Why not? |
37463 | Why would n''t it be fair, mother? |
37463 | Why, Caroline, what on earth? |
37463 | Will she? |
37463 | Will there be many people? |
37463 | Will they be dead, mother? |
37463 | Will you let me go, David? |
37463 | Will you promise me,he said,"that whatever happens, as long as it is possible, you will stay with Letty?" |
37463 | Will you take her to town? 37463 Will you take me to- morrow?" |
37463 | Will you telegraph your mother from the station? |
37463 | Wo n''t you sit down,he asked, and then he threw himself into a chair, and added cheerfully,"What is it, daughter? |
37463 | Wo n''t you tell Letty good- bye? |
37463 | Yet I never see you reading? |
37463 | You ai n''t mad wid Marse David, is you? |
37463 | You are going away? 37463 You are going to France?" |
37463 | You are n''t blaming David, are you, dear? |
37463 | You are so trustworthy that it is a comfort to talk to you, and then we both feel, do n''t we, dear? |
37463 | You ca n''t believe that Angelica really knew Letty was so ill? |
37463 | You dare to say this to me-- you who refused to send Miss Meade away though I begged you to----"To send Miss Meade away? |
37463 | You do n''t really think we''re conjured, Mammy? |
37463 | You expect to go away? |
37463 | You feel that she is better? |
37463 | You had n''t heard? 37463 You have been out, Miss Meade?" |
37463 | You have been out? |
37463 | You have n''t gone away, father? |
37463 | You look just a bit seedy, do n''t you? 37463 You mean easier because you pity her? |
37463 | You mean he has been flattered because she has let him read his plays to her? |
37463 | You mean she told him that about me just to spare herself? |
37463 | You mean she would sacrifice me like this? 37463 You mean the old man in Chicago----?" |
37463 | You mean to the Senate? 37463 You mean wait until they drop bombs on New York instead of London?" |
37463 | You mean you did not know he was coming to- day? |
37463 | You mean you think he did n''t make her go? |
37463 | You mean you''d stay and fight it out? |
37463 | You mean you''ll speak to Angelica? |
37463 | You mean, then, that she did it just to hurt me? |
37463 | You really think so? 37463 You saw Mrs. Blackburn? |
37463 | You say there has n''t been any change? |
37463 | You see how it is? |
37463 | You think it will be over before we get an army to France? |
37463 | You think now that she may get well in time? 37463 You think the child would be happier if she were here?" |
37463 | You thought so? 37463 You wo n''t think of going away now, will you?" |
37463 | You''ve never led a band of little darkeys across a cornfield at sunrise? |
37463 | You''ve stopped motoring with Angelica, have n''t you? |
37463 | Your maid? 37463 Yours?" |
37463 | _ Why should she have done it? 37463 A cry that was half a sob burst from her lips, and lifting her head, she demanded with passionate reproach and regret,Why did nobody tell me? |
37463 | A lovers''quarrel?" |
37463 | A peace Colonel does n''t amount to much, does he?" |
37463 | A very small baby?" |
37463 | Admiration is the breath of life to her, and-- and-- oh, why_ should she have done it_? |
37463 | After all, that''s just what I hire Peter for, is n''t it?" |
37463 | After all, what could she answer? |
37463 | After all, why should Mary''s words have disturbed him so deeply? |
37463 | Ai n''t he hollerin''jes like he knows sump''n?" |
37463 | Ai n''t she al''ays jes''ez sof ez silk, no matter whut happen? |
37463 | Ai n''t she de sort dat ain''got no sof''soap about''er, en do n''t she look jes egzactly ez ef''n de buzzards he d picked''er? |
37463 | Ai n''t she done been teckin''physic day in en day out sence befo''de flood, en ai n''t she all squinched up, en jes ez yaller ez a punkin, now?" |
37463 | Ai n''t you comin''ter git yo''supper?" |
37463 | Ai n''t you knowed Miss Angy better''n dat? |
37463 | And, womanlike, she wondered if this passion of the mind had drawn its strength and colour from the earlier wasted passion of his heart? |
37463 | Any news, Mary?" |
37463 | Anything I could straighten out?" |
37463 | Are all nurses happy, Miss Miller?" |
37463 | Are you afraid?" |
37463 | Are you going to France like everybody else?" |
37463 | Are you going very soon?" |
37463 | Are you ignorant of the feminine heart?" |
37463 | As Caroline left the bedside and went to the chair by the fire, she heard Blackburn ask sharply,"What does the change mean, doctor?" |
37463 | As Caroline watched the change, she asked herself if the war, which was only a phrase to these people a few months ago, had become at last a reality? |
37463 | As for Letty she might as well be an orphan now that David Blackburn has gone to France----""To France?" |
37463 | As she slid hurriedly from her father''s knees, she paused long enough to whisper in his ear,"Father, what shall I tell mother when she asks me?" |
37463 | As the door opened, she inquired of the servant,"Moses, do you think this is a very important meeting?" |
37463 | At ninety one could n''t reasonably have asked for very much more, do you think?" |
37463 | At the words the boy looked up quickly, his eyes gleaming,"What must the leader be like, uncle?" |
37463 | Because we build in the sky, I believe we are building to last----""But our mistakes, our follies, our insanities----?" |
37463 | Bending over he lifted her to his knee, and asked patiently,"If I tell you why I ca n''t take him back, Letty, will you try to understand?" |
37463 | Blackburn?" |
37463 | Blackburn?" |
37463 | Blackburn?" |
37463 | Blackburn?" |
37463 | But are n''t there a great many more important things you ought to do?" |
37463 | But are we in the way?" |
37463 | But does Mr. Blackburn want the senatorship?" |
37463 | But have you ever noticed that people are very apt to keep the things they do n''t care about-- that they ca n''t shake them off? |
37463 | But how can she come back if he does n''t want her?" |
37463 | But how could you?" |
37463 | But if not of me, of yourself? |
37463 | But what would she do with him? |
37463 | But why could n''t she have come out and said so?" |
37463 | But yours is much darker, is n''t it?" |
37463 | By the way, how is my niece?" |
37463 | Ca n''t you see how you disgust me?" |
37463 | Ca n''t you see that I am mad about you? |
37463 | Ca n''t you see that she is breaking her heart over it?" |
37463 | Can Letty hear us?" |
37463 | Can you go without sleep and not lose your strength?" |
37463 | Can you imagine anything more unlike father''s day when all Virginians, except those whom nobody knew, thought exactly alike? |
37463 | Can you imagine why she should have done it?" |
37463 | Chalmers?" |
37463 | Could it be that Mrs. Blackburn was without tact? |
37463 | Could it be that he was comparing Angelica with Mary, and that, for the moment at least, Mary''s lack of feminine charm, was estranging him? |
37463 | Could it be that she did not realize the awkwardness of her interruption? |
37463 | Could n''t she see that he was merely the cheapest sort of malcontent? |
37463 | Could n''t you manage to drink it?" |
37463 | Could she never forget? |
37463 | Could there be any possible reason?" |
37463 | David seemed so dreadfully rude, did n''t he?" |
37463 | Did Anna Jeannette send you?" |
37463 | Did I tell you I''d heard from Cousin Fanny Baylor, who has been with her in Chicago?" |
37463 | Did n''t you always feel that she was full of soul?" |
37463 | Did the housekeeper hear, she wondered, the wild throbbing of her heart? |
37463 | Did you ask your father about Ridley?" |
37463 | Did you expect her so soon?" |
37463 | Did you or did you not think that you had spoken plainly to Angelica that evening?" |
37463 | Do n''t you remember hearing her say at that committee meeting at Briarlay that her husband liked her to take part in public affairs? |
37463 | Do n''t you think I am right, Miss Meade?" |
37463 | Do n''t you think it is a pity for a woman to spend half her life in the saddle? |
37463 | Do n''t you think that is a lovely way to feel about it?" |
37463 | Do you dream that I have been seeing Roane Fitzhugh of my own accord? |
37463 | Do you feel badly, darling? |
37463 | Do you feel better now?" |
37463 | Do you mind if I bolt in the midst of it?" |
37463 | Do you really have to wear woollen stockings? |
37463 | Do you reckon she''ould ever hev cotched Marse David ef''n he''d a knowed whut''t''wuz she wuz atter? |
37463 | Do you see that new office building at the corner? |
37463 | Do you think I should have come out if I had known?" |
37463 | Do you think I''ve grown any since the last time I measured, Mammy Riah?" |
37463 | Do you think mother will mind if I go into the drawing- room? |
37463 | Do you think she is seriously ill, Miss Meade?" |
37463 | Do you think you will come back when mother and father get home again? |
37463 | Does she still keep up her wonderful spirits?" |
37463 | Father, what is the difference between an angel and a fairy? |
37463 | For here as elsewhere the one question never asked was,"What are we going to get out of it?" |
37463 | Go over the list of young men in your set, and tell me if there is another Saint George of England among them?" |
37463 | Go''way f''om yer, chile, whut you skeered er Marse David fur?" |
37463 | Has anything happened?" |
37463 | Has the President been waiting for the country, or the country for the President? |
37463 | Has the hour struck?" |
37463 | Have n''t we got one party already, and does n''t that one have a hard enough time looking after the negroes? |
37463 | Have n''t you noticed it?" |
37463 | Have n''t you seen enough of me yet to discover that I am really as harmless as I look? |
37463 | Have you a headache?" |
37463 | Have you a secret to tell me?" |
37463 | Have you been for a walk?" |
37463 | Have you been ill, Caroline?" |
37463 | Have you dared to think such a thing? |
37463 | Have you noticed it, Angelica?" |
37463 | Have you quarrelled?" |
37463 | He has his old place at the works, has n''t he?" |
37463 | He moved softly to the door, and as Caroline looked after him, she found herself asking resentfully,"I wonder why Letty cried for her father?" |
37463 | He told me that he believed I liked that dreadful man-- that I came out by appointment----""But do n''t you like him, my dear?" |
37463 | Her laughing tone changed suddenly,"Why, Angelica, what is the matter? |
37463 | How are you feeling? |
37463 | How could he have gone on in ignorance? |
37463 | How could he have stumbled, with unseeing eyes, over the heart of the problem? |
37463 | How could it matter to her what Roane had turned into? |
37463 | How dare you ask me such a thing? |
37463 | How long ago was it?" |
37463 | How long will it be, Miss Meade, before I can read any kind, even the sort where the letters all look just alike and go right into one another?" |
37463 | How much longer are you going to walk about the world in your sleep? |
37463 | I even ask myself sometimes if I have a moral right to anything we can send over to France?" |
37463 | I hope you do n''t mind my speaking the truth?" |
37463 | I must get this cheque to him, but I do not like to ask one of the servants----""You wish me to take it to him?" |
37463 | I never see the child that she does not ask me,"When is Miss Meade coming back?" |
37463 | I put the same to you, Miss Meade, was n''t the Democratic Party good enough for your father?" |
37463 | I shall never see it again, but why should I care so much? |
37463 | I suppose Mr. Blackburn can always be reached?" |
37463 | I suppose you wo n''t put off the wedding much longer? |
37463 | I will not stay even for Letty----""Do you know what you have done?" |
37463 | I wonder how he would have liked Mr. Blackburn and his political theories?" |
37463 | I wonder if I can make you understand?" |
37463 | I wonder if she is really so prejudiced against Mrs. Blackburn that she ca n''t talk of her?" |
37463 | I wonder what they will make of her?" |
37463 | I wonder why the pipes of Pan always begin again in the spring?" |
37463 | If he had ever been what I believed him, do you imagine that any one could have''taken''him? |
37463 | If there is any change, will you send for me?" |
37463 | Is Letty asleep?" |
37463 | Is Mrs. Blackburn ill?" |
37463 | Is he hanging about?" |
37463 | Is her temperature high?" |
37463 | Is it a very important meeting?" |
37463 | Is it an honest desire for service or is it-- the open door?" |
37463 | Is it in my reader? |
37463 | Is n''t she beautiful?" |
37463 | Is n''t there a hole of some sort a man of forty- three can stop up?" |
37463 | Is she a fairy too?" |
37463 | Is she really ill?" |
37463 | Is she worse, Doctor Boland?" |
37463 | Is the car waiting?" |
37463 | Is the cheque written?" |
37463 | Is there any man on earth who could have taken me from Alan?" |
37463 | Is there any reason why she should n''t stay?" |
37463 | Is you ever seed a man, no matter how big he think hisself, dat warn''ready ter flop right down ez''weak ez water, ez soon as she set''er een on''i m? |
37463 | It is a lovely name,"she mused, seizing upon the one charming thing in Mrs. Colfax''s description,"I wonder what she is like?" |
37463 | It is so perfectly dreadful when one has to take sides with a husband or wife, is n''t it? |
37463 | It is strange, is n''t it, but the whole time Mr. Blackburn was in here talking to me, I kept wondering if she had ever cared for him? |
37463 | It is their affair, is n''t it? |
37463 | It looks very much as if we were going to fight, does n''t it? |
37463 | It means so much when you''re grown, do n''t you think, to look back on a pleasant childhood? |
37463 | It seemed impossible to her that she should stay on at Briarlay, and yet what excuse could she give Angelica for leaving so suddenly? |
37463 | It seems funny that such a little thing should decide a great question, does n''t it? |
37463 | It sounds incredible, does n''t it?" |
37463 | It was years ago that I met you, was n''t it?" |
37463 | It''s funny, is n''t it, that the doctor who is attending her now should be so crazy about her? |
37463 | Lend her to me?" |
37463 | Letty had begun coughing, and Caroline drew her closer while she asked anxiously,"Do you think it is wise to take a child into close houses?" |
37463 | Letty''s good would weigh more with me; but can I be sure-- can you, or any one else, be sure that it is really for Letty''s good? |
37463 | Look here, Anna Jeannette, had n''t you better call a halt on the thing?" |
37463 | Look here, Letty, who is coming to this feast of joy? |
37463 | Macy?" |
37463 | Mammy Riah, do you think my hair would stay plaited like that if it was n''t tied?" |
37463 | Miss Meade, how do you like Richmond?" |
37463 | Miss Meade, may I have a skipping- rope?" |
37463 | Miss Webster, is it time for the medicine?" |
37463 | Mr. Blackburn looks strong, and his wife was always well until recently, was n''t she?" |
37463 | Mrs. Blackburn, I mean?" |
37463 | My dear, can you believe that Roane has really turned into a hero?" |
37463 | Never expected to meet him?" |
37463 | Not in the place of Colonel Acton?" |
37463 | Of course if she has n''t anything else to do-- but in this age, do n''t you feel, there are so many opportunities of service?" |
37463 | Of your obligations to your country?" |
37463 | Of your power for usefulness? |
37463 | Oh, David, will you never wake up? |
37463 | Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Blackburn wants to know if you could find time to do some knitting for her? |
37463 | Oh, I wonder if the world will ever be sane and safe again?" |
37463 | Oh, why did he let me go?" |
37463 | Perhaps Miss Meade will entertain me?" |
37463 | Perhaps she is different now since Alan Wythe was killed?" |
37463 | She is all tangled up, is n''t she, mother?" |
37463 | She is an odd little thing, is n''t she? |
37463 | She would not only ruin her husband, she would try to destroy me, though I''ve never harmed her?" |
37463 | She writes me that she has been ill-- that there was a serious operation----""Have the doctors told her the truth?" |
37463 | She''d make an adorable bridesmaid in an orchid- coloured gown and a flower hat, would n''t she, Cousin Matty?" |
37463 | Show me the man who is free among us to- day?" |
37463 | So this is where you walk? |
37463 | Speaking of Robert, Anna Jeannette, was he really the author of that slashing editorial in the_ Free- Press_?" |
37463 | Surely you agree with me that it is a deplorable error of judgment?" |
37463 | That will be time enough, wo n''t it?" |
37463 | That''s like Roane Fitzhugh, is n''t it? |
37463 | The child is very fond of Mr. Wythe-- he has a charming way with her-- and when I went in, she was asking him if he were really going to war? |
37463 | The next instant she added seriously,"David, have you seen the paper? |
37463 | The plays ca n''t be so very important, or they would be on the stage, would n''t they?" |
37463 | The reading I heard as I came up, I suppose was for her benefit?" |
37463 | The rest you must understand-- you will understand?" |
37463 | Then he said slowly,"What good will it do?" |
37463 | Then her tone changed, and as they stopped at the corner of the park, she cried out with pleasure,"Is n''t that Uncle Roane over there? |
37463 | Then she added, while the laugh died on her lips,"Have you left Briarlay for good?" |
37463 | Then think of all the destruction and the dreadful high taxes that would follow----""But I thought there was a great deal of war spirit here? |
37463 | Then, as she was about to run into the house, she paused and added,"Only-- only how could you?" |
37463 | Then, as the child got up from her play and came over to him, he asked tenderly,"Are n''t you happy, darling?" |
37463 | Then, before she could reply, he asked hurriedly,"Has Letty spoken to you of her mother?" |
37463 | Then, of course, Letty inquired immediately,"What is democracy?" |
37463 | There is n''t much the matter, is there, mammy?" |
37463 | There seems to you a chance that she may grow up well and normal?" |
37463 | There was a knock at the door, and Mammy Riah inquired querulously through the crack,"Whar you, Letty? |
37463 | They sound as if she wanted to see me very much, do n''t they mammy? |
37463 | This danger passed yesterday, but who knows when it may come again?" |
37463 | To have a public character that gives the lie to his private one?" |
37463 | To imagine that I wanted to see him-- that I came out to meet him?" |
37463 | Uncle Roane, do you see us?" |
37463 | Was Alan Wythe there last night?" |
37463 | Was it any wonder that Blackburn was anxious when she gazed up at him like that? |
37463 | Was it possible that he had never understood him-- that he did not understand him to- day? |
37463 | Was n''t it dreadful, Roane?" |
37463 | Was she for ever chained to an inescapable memory? |
37463 | Was the warmth and fervour which he read now in her face a glimpse of the soul which life had hidden beneath the dignity of her manner? |
37463 | Was there a deeper closet and a grimmer skeleton at Briarlay than the one she had discovered? |
37463 | Was there something, after all, that she did not understand? |
37463 | We speak of giving life, but what is life except the means of giving something infinitely better and finer? |
37463 | What can I do for you?" |
37463 | What can prove this more clearly than the fact that I am here to ask your help in organizing the independent vote in Virginia? |
37463 | What could she possibly gain?" |
37463 | What did you tell him?" |
37463 | What do you hear from him?" |
37463 | What do you suppose David meant when he said that beneath it all was a profound disillusionment?" |
37463 | What has she to do with Mary and Alan?" |
37463 | What have you been doing?" |
37463 | What is the trouble between her and Alan?" |
37463 | What is there in the world except work?" |
37463 | What is there left to be a traitor to?" |
37463 | What on earth is the reason? |
37463 | What the paper said?" |
37463 | What would your grandmother have thought of you? |
37463 | When does Alan come back, dear? |
37463 | When it is over?" |
37463 | Where''d we be now but for the British navy?" |
37463 | Who says I am drunk?" |
37463 | Whut you reckon Miss Matty know about hit? |
37463 | Why are you so dreadful, Roane?" |
37463 | Why ca n''t you speak plainly?" |
37463 | Why did she stoop to argue with the man? |
37463 | Why do we want to go and start up trouble just after we''ve got things all nicely settled? |
37463 | Why does David want to stir up a hornet''s nest among the negroes, I''d like to know?" |
37463 | Why does it make me so unhappy, as if it were tearing the heart out of my breast? |
37463 | Why in the world-- how in the world----""And David told you that he thought so?" |
37463 | Why is that?" |
37463 | Why should I care?" |
37463 | Why should he care?" |
37463 | Why should n''t I be?" |
37463 | Why should she care what people said of him? |
37463 | Why should she have done it?" |
37463 | Why wo n''t you be kind to me? |
37463 | Why, for God''s sake, ca n''t we strangle the pacifists for once? |
37463 | Why, what is the matter?" |
37463 | Why, what on earth is she writing to you about? |
37463 | Will it get wet, do you think?" |
37463 | Will you be sure to order the car?" |
37463 | Will you go down to the library?" |
37463 | Will you help me?" |
37463 | Will you promise?" |
37463 | Will you sit with Letty while I run down for a cup of coffee?" |
37463 | Will you tell her that I''d like to see her immediately?" |
37463 | Will you walk a little way? |
37463 | With her arms about Letty, who moaned and shivered in her grasp, she added,"Letty, darling, shall I send for your mother?" |
37463 | Without noticing them, the child cried out in a loud, clear voice,"Where is father? |
37463 | Would he love America so much if he loved Angelica more? |
37463 | Would n''t you just as soon go to see these children?" |
37463 | Would you like to have a garden, father?" |
37463 | Wythe?" |
37463 | Yet how could she be when she spends such a fortune on clothes?" |
37463 | You ain''never seed Miss Angy git ez mad ez fire wid nobody, is you? |
37463 | You ain''never seed''er git all in a swivet''bout nuttin? |
37463 | You are just a trifle run down, are n''t you?" |
37463 | You ax''er ef''n she''s done forgot de Fitzhugh chillun''s mammy? |
37463 | You do n''t honestly think me a rotter, do you?" |
37463 | You do trust me?" |
37463 | You have sent for the doctor, of course?" |
37463 | You heard that David was back?" |
37463 | You knew old Docia was sick, did n''t you? |
37463 | You knew she was suffering?" |
37463 | You know Dodson?" |
37463 | You know how easily children forget?" |
37463 | You know that Mr. Blackburn has come home?" |
37463 | You like me in uniform, do n''t you?" |
37463 | You mean I''d never understand how Mr. Blackburn got that impression?" |
37463 | You mean tell her how ill Letty is? |
37463 | You never got up at dawn to turn the cows out to pasture, and brought them home in the evening, riding the calf?" |
37463 | You remember I wrote you that Mr. Wythe did not like her? |
37463 | You remember how taciturn he always was, and how he never let anybody even mention Angelica''s name to him? |
37463 | You saw her faint away at my feet?" |
37463 | You will keep well?" |
37463 | You will see Letty sometimes?" |
37463 | You would like to do that, would n''t you?" |
37463 | You would like to see her, darling?" |
37463 | You would n''t like to see the''Odysseus of Democracy''dispossessed?" |
37463 | You''ve got the fundamental thing, have n''t you?" |
37463 | _ Why should she have done it?_ I should always have taken her part against Mr. Blackburn, against Mrs. Timberlake, against Mammy Riah. |
37463 | asked Letty, with carefully subdued excitement,"and may I go to church? |
37463 | exclaimed Caroline, and mentally she added,"Is it possible for a man to have two characters? |
37463 | he began airily, and the next instant exclaimed with scarcely a change of tone,"Who are you? |
37463 | or"I think the simplest way to raise money would be by some tableaux, do n''t you, Colonel Ashburton? |
15603 | ''What am I to do with the child?'' 15603 A redbird? |
15603 | About Father? |
15603 | About Father? |
15603 | Ah, then you have seen Patty? |
15603 | Am I to infer from this that you have designs on the Governor? 15603 Amuses me? |
15603 | An aunt of mine? 15603 An opportunity for what?" |
15603 | And I did not? |
15603 | And he seemed ordinary? |
15603 | And he thinks he''ll get it by asking him to dinner? 15603 And may I ask what else you have heard?" |
15603 | And that is n''t anything, is it? |
15603 | And that means the strikers? |
15603 | And the other girls? |
15603 | And they cost you something? |
15603 | And what did she mean by it, I wonder? |
15603 | And what did you learn? |
15603 | And what, I wonder,she asked, with the faintest quiver of her cherry- coloured lips,"would you like to know?" |
15603 | And where would you like to go? |
15603 | And who lives with him? 15603 And will they listen when you tell them?" |
15603 | And you are not in want? 15603 And you believe that such people as Gershom can serve the cause of justice through dishonest means?" |
15603 | And you believe that you prove this,asked Stephen frankly,"by turning over your power of appointment to a group of self- interested politicians? |
15603 | And you confine your curiosity to your own business? |
15603 | And you like him? |
15603 | And you will wait until then to be converted? |
15603 | And you would n''t like him to run against a snag, would you? |
15603 | And your father? 15603 Any better?" |
15603 | Are shadows ever as brilliant as that? |
15603 | Are you busy, Father? |
15603 | Are you free now? |
15603 | Are you going to marry Benham? |
15603 | Are you happy, Patty? |
15603 | Are you happy? |
15603 | Are you happy? |
15603 | Are you still friends? |
15603 | Are you sure that you read Julius Gershom correctly? |
15603 | Are you sure they will strike? |
15603 | Are you talking about the strike? |
15603 | At the ball? |
15603 | Because I have the people behind me? |
15603 | Because of your father? |
15603 | Belongs? |
15603 | But I wonder if you begin to realize how fortunate you are? 15603 But I would rather have feeling, would n''t you?" |
15603 | But ca n''t there be a maneuver without warfare? |
15603 | But did n''t he look after her too? |
15603 | But do you ever think seriously of the part you might take in this town? |
15603 | But is it obliged to be over? |
15603 | But suppose I ca n''t? |
15603 | But suppose you had been like me, Corinna? |
15603 | But surely your father wishes you to be happy? |
15603 | But there may be, you think? |
15603 | But what does he really stand for-- Vetch, I mean? |
15603 | But where did you learn to see things like this, and to put them into words? 15603 But why should you? |
15603 | But you have caught your larks, have n''t you? |
15603 | But you said that you knew my mother? |
15603 | But you were waiting to see him? |
15603 | But, why, in Heaven''s name, should you wish that when you are everything that they ought to be? |
15603 | Ca n''t you see that he is fooling with you? |
15603 | Can it be that Stephen is really in earnest? |
15603 | Can you imagine Mrs. Stribling rising from foam? |
15603 | Can you imagine anything more certain to turn a man against a marriage than the thought that it was arranged for him in his infancy? |
15603 | Can you suggest any way that I might? |
15603 | Could anything short of a blasting operation change you traditional Virginians? |
15603 | Did he and the Governor have any words? |
15603 | Did he tell you,she inquired daringly,"why he is falling out with Julius Gershom?" |
15603 | Did n''t you know that she had one? |
15603 | Did n''t you learn that in the trenches? |
15603 | Did n''t you see it-- and hear it-- when you came in? |
15603 | Did she say that? |
15603 | Did she tell you that? |
15603 | Did they ever tell you what became of her? |
15603 | Did they tell you the cause of it? |
15603 | Did you buy that print because it is so much like you? |
15603 | Did you ever see her before? |
15603 | Did you have a good time? |
15603 | Did you speak to me? |
15603 | Do I resemble you? |
15603 | Do I seem old to you? 15603 Do I? |
15603 | Do n''t they take you seriously? |
15603 | Do n''t you admit, Cousin Harriet, that I have improved Patty tremendously? |
15603 | Do n''t you remember seeing her when you were a child? |
15603 | Do n''t you see that by standing aside, by keeping apart, you are doing all the harm that you can? 15603 Do n''t you think she will look lovely, just like a mermaid, in green and silver?" |
15603 | Do n''t you think so, Cousin Harriet? |
15603 | Do n''t you? |
15603 | Do they expect the men to strike? |
15603 | Do those ideas never come back to you? 15603 Do we stop here?" |
15603 | Do you believe that she cares for Stephen? |
15603 | Do you call him Father? |
15603 | Do you care for him? |
15603 | Do you ever see him away from Patty? |
15603 | Do you hear that? |
15603 | Do you imply that you were not? |
15603 | Do you know him by sight? |
15603 | Do you know what I was thinking? |
15603 | Do you know what my father would have called that fellow? 15603 Do you know what she told me to- day?" |
15603 | Do you know where I am? |
15603 | Do you know where she came from? |
15603 | Do you know,she demanded,"that the girl was born in a circus tent?" |
15603 | Do you like Patty Vetch? |
15603 | Do you like Stephen very much, Patty? |
15603 | Do you like it? |
15603 | Do you like my cousin Stephen? |
15603 | Do you mean Mrs. Kent Page? |
15603 | Do you mean that I fell down on purpose? |
15603 | Do you mean that all the other girls dress like this? |
15603 | Do you mean that there is no remedy for conditions like this? |
15603 | Do you mean that? |
15603 | Do you mean to tell me, Horatio,blustered the General,"that I''ve got to let in the blood of a circus rider, sir?" |
15603 | Do you mean, my dear,inquired Corinna placidly,"that the Governor is honestly dishonest?" |
15603 | Do you mean,he asked quietly,"that we-- our family-- own these houses?" |
15603 | Do you really like it? |
15603 | Do you really like politics so much? |
15603 | Do you really mean that you wo n''t shock the young men away from you? |
15603 | Do you really think,asked Corinna brightly,"that John, able politician though he is, is worth all that trouble?" |
15603 | Do you remember that blue dress-- the one that is the colour of wild hyacinths? |
15603 | Do you remember your mother, dear? |
15603 | Do you see him often? |
15603 | Do you suppose anybody thinks that Father never had a chance? |
15603 | Do you suppose that type will ever pass? |
15603 | Do you suppose that women will ever mean more to men than pegs on which to hang their sentiments? 15603 Do you suppose there has ever been anything since the world began that was best for every one? |
15603 | Do you think I shall let you escape me? |
15603 | Do you think he can be anything truthfully? |
15603 | Do you think he cares for you, dear? |
15603 | Do you think her pretty, Stephen? |
15603 | Do you think it is an affair? |
15603 | Do you think that is possible? |
15603 | Do you think,Vetch was making another attempt to explain his meaning,"that he is seriously interested?" |
15603 | Do you want Father to come? |
15603 | Do you wish to see me, my boy? |
15603 | Does anybody know what they want-- except when they want money? |
15603 | Does it look that way? |
15603 | Does it make any difference to you, my dear? |
15603 | Does it? 15603 Does n''t every one?" |
15603 | Does she think of coming here? 15603 Easy?" |
15603 | Even if everything were against it? |
15603 | Everything depends on something else, does n''t it? 15603 Father, do you know anything about those old houses beyond Marshall Street?" |
15603 | Father, what do you suppose that message meant? |
15603 | Father? |
15603 | Feeling all right, my boy? |
15603 | Gershom? |
15603 | Gideon Vetch? |
15603 | Has Patty told you anything? |
15603 | Has he asked you to marry him? |
15603 | Has he-- does he care for you? |
15603 | Has it ever occurred to you,she asked gently,"that the trouble with you, after all, is simply lack of courage?" |
15603 | Has n''t Stephen come in yet? |
15603 | Has the knowledge of my-- my old friendship for Mrs. Rokeby come between us? |
15603 | Have I tired you? |
15603 | Have I? |
15603 | Have I? |
15603 | Have n''t you always told me that I like everybody? |
15603 | Have n''t you heard of it? |
15603 | Have n''t you known me long enough to find out that I always mean what I say? |
15603 | Have you any particular reason for wishing to see the Governor? |
15603 | Have you been to see him this morning? |
15603 | Have you ever heard,he asked with biting sarcasm,"that I was easy to manage and that that was why certain people put me in office?" |
15603 | Have you forgotten? |
15603 | Have you sent for them? |
15603 | Have you spoken to Patty? |
15603 | Have you stopped caring for her? |
15603 | He is not unusual in that, is he? |
15603 | He says he''s trying to, does n''t he? 15603 He talks a great deal about his friends, does n''t he, Margaret?" |
15603 | Honest? |
15603 | How are you, Abijah? |
15603 | How can I prevent it? 15603 How can I? |
15603 | How can anything depend upon a weathercock? |
15603 | How can he help it? 15603 How can it be otherwise? |
15603 | How can one tell? 15603 How could Gideon Vetch''s daughter be anything else?" |
15603 | How could she? 15603 How could you help it?" |
15603 | How did it turn out? |
15603 | How do you know that I thought about it at all? 15603 How else in the world can any one be useful to Father? |
15603 | How have you fed the children? |
15603 | How is she? |
15603 | How long ago did she die? |
15603 | How long has your mother been dead, Patty? |
15603 | How on earth could I have got that spot there? |
15603 | How on earth does Vetch stand him? |
15603 | How safe? 15603 How, in Heaven''s name, does she stand him?" |
15603 | I am curious to know,he remarked after a moment,"how you are able to justify the sacrifice of what I regard as common honesty in public affairs?" |
15603 | I gave my youth in that war,he thought,"and I won from it-- what? |
15603 | I hope you remembered to order flowers for Margaret? |
15603 | I realize that,said Vetch gravely, and he added with a quick glance at Darrow:"Do you think if I were not honest that I''d talk to you so frankly?" |
15603 | I remember your face,pursued the Governor, while his smile faded-- was brevity, after all, the secret of its magic? |
15603 | I shall see you to- morrow night? |
15603 | I should like to know,she said aloud,"what he is truthfully?" |
15603 | I suppose Mother is making you take Margaret Blair? |
15603 | I suppose he stands for a great deal? |
15603 | I thought you were with Miss Blair? |
15603 | I was obliged to dance with somebody,she resumed after a minute,"I could n''t sit against the wall the whole evening, could I? |
15603 | I was wondering,again he hesitated over the words,"if you had seen her and what you think of her?" |
15603 | I wonder how much of her is real? |
15603 | I wonder if I can be mistaken in Stephen, and if he is seriously in love with her? |
15603 | I wonder if Mother could have helped me if she had lived? |
15603 | I wonder if Stephen noticed the girl at the ball? |
15603 | I wonder if she thought I believed her? |
15603 | I wonder if she thought she could hurt me? |
15603 | I wonder if she was different from all the other women I''ve known? |
15603 | I wonder if we can be wrong, you and I? |
15603 | I wonder what it means? |
15603 | I wonder what the deuce Gershom has got up his sleeve? |
15603 | I wonder what you mean,he mused aloud, and added frankly,"I''ve never seen you before, have I?" |
15603 | I''ll tell him exactly what you say,she answered; and then she asked suddenly in a firmer tone:"Have you heard anything more of my aunt?" |
15603 | I? 15603 I?" |
15603 | I? |
15603 | I? |
15603 | If I did n''t care do you think that I would marry him? |
15603 | If I wait here shall I see the Governor come out? |
15603 | If by dirty work you mean the clearing away of obstacles-- well, somebody has to do it, has n''t he? |
15603 | If he does n''t take the hint, what will you do? |
15603 | If he will take me? |
15603 | If it is a genuine feeling, are you wise to get over it? |
15603 | If it is really like that,he said,"What can I do?" |
15603 | If we do n''t what will happen? |
15603 | If you came out to walk on ice,he replied with a smile,"why, in Heaven''s name, did n''t you wear skates or rubbers?" |
15603 | In a democracy like ours is any man so strong that he can stand alone? |
15603 | Is Mary Byrd going in swimming? |
15603 | Is anything wrong? |
15603 | Is he bringing the child? |
15603 | Is he falling out with him? |
15603 | Is he ignoble? |
15603 | Is he the kind, then, to let himself go the rest of the way? |
15603 | Is he? |
15603 | Is it a party? |
15603 | Is it because they are nice that he does them? |
15603 | Is it ever too late,she responded,"as long as there is any happiness left in the world?" |
15603 | Is it obliged to mean anything? |
15603 | Is it that? |
15603 | Is it too little? |
15603 | Is n''t it conceivable that we are standing, not for what is necessarily better, but simply for what is old? 15603 Is n''t that life?--sparrows for larks always?" |
15603 | Is n''t that the way most of us decide things,asked Corinna,"if we know what is really to our advantage?" |
15603 | Is n''t the only wisdom to be happy and kind? |
15603 | Is n''t there any feeling-- any interest that lasts with you? |
15603 | Is n''t there some way out of it, Dad? |
15603 | Is she going to a party with you? 15603 Is she his only child? |
15603 | Is she his sister? |
15603 | Is she pretty? |
15603 | Is that meant for a compliment? |
15603 | Is that what you''ve quarrelled about of late-- the way he''s going? |
15603 | Is the Governor here? |
15603 | Is there always strategy,she pronounced the word with care,"behind them?" |
15603 | Is there anything the matter with Father? |
15603 | Is there anything you would like me to help you about? |
15603 | Is there to be a meeting? |
15603 | Is this Patty Vetch, Corinna, or your own dramatic instinct? |
15603 | Is this the aunt you told me of, Patty? |
15603 | It is a threat, then? |
15603 | It is too late for him to win over the conservative forces? |
15603 | It is trite, I know,he said with a smile,"but feeling is never very original, is it? |
15603 | It was something red, was n''t it? |
15603 | Just a professional politician? |
15603 | Kinder? 15603 Like Gideon Vetch? |
15603 | Lost your ball, have you? 15603 Ma, may I help myself?" |
15603 | May I come again soon? |
15603 | May I help you? |
15603 | Mistaken? 15603 Mrs. Kent Page?" |
15603 | Mrs. Rokeby ai n''t dressed, but she says would you mind coming up? |
15603 | My Cousin Corinna? |
15603 | No; why should I wish to speak to him? 15603 Nor about maneuvers apparently?" |
15603 | Not even when Benham speaks? |
15603 | Not even your father? |
15603 | Not if he knew that his mother had set her heart on it? |
15603 | Not the Governor, I hope? |
15603 | Oh, Stephen,protested Victoria on a high note of interrogation,"how can he?" |
15603 | Oh, ca n''t you see? 15603 Oh, ca n''t you wait a minute?" |
15603 | Oh, do n''t you see-- can''t you see? |
15603 | Oh, my dear, what is everything? |
15603 | Oh, that is worrying him, is it? |
15603 | On my side? 15603 Or because they are not expected?" |
15603 | Or in the movies? |
15603 | Patty Vetch? 15603 Patty is not your child?" |
15603 | Patty? 15603 Perhaps it is not too late for tea, or may I get you a glass of wine? |
15603 | Pragmatism? 15603 Rose Stribling?" |
15603 | Rose Stribling? |
15603 | Shall we try this? |
15603 | Sincere? 15603 So Gershom asked you to give me a message?" |
15603 | So he has n''t? |
15603 | So he is n''t her father? |
15603 | So she called Stephen a plaster saint? |
15603 | So you both haunt the Square? |
15603 | Something about telling the crowd? |
15603 | Sorry? 15603 Stephen, do you think he has gone out of his mind?" |
15603 | Suppose I ai n''t made that way? |
15603 | Tactics? 15603 Thank you, sir,"said the Governor without effusion; and he asked:"Did you hurt yourself, Patty?" |
15603 | That is too old to play, is n''t it? |
15603 | That woman? |
15603 | The Culpeper estate? |
15603 | The archaic cult of the gentleman? 15603 The trouble with John?" |
15603 | Then I may come to- morrow? |
15603 | Then if you know why do n''t you help-- you others? |
15603 | Then it is all true? |
15603 | Then it is n''t too late? |
15603 | Then it was a maneuver? 15603 Then it''s true? |
15603 | Then perhaps you can tell me if she is interested in this young Culpeper? |
15603 | Then she still amuses you? |
15603 | Then they do n''t talk about it where you are? |
15603 | Then why did n''t you keep them at home where you have so much that is fine? |
15603 | Then you believe that the tide is turning against Vetch? |
15603 | Then you can take me to her now? |
15603 | Then you must have enjoyed it? |
15603 | Then you think I am not honest? 15603 Then you think he is really as dangerous as the papers are trying to make him appear?" |
15603 | Then you think-- you really think that he is sincere? |
15603 | Then you''ll see me to- morrow? 15603 Then your father has n''t told you?" |
15603 | Then, if I went to see her, I''d better go now, had n''t I? |
15603 | There''s always more or less to worry him, ai n''t there? |
15603 | Things generally do, do n''t they? |
15603 | Timid? 15603 To buy them?" |
15603 | To- morrow? 15603 Useful? |
15603 | Was it dull? 15603 Was n''t it nice of him?" |
15603 | Was she really fond of me? |
15603 | Was there some vital spark left out when I was born? 15603 Was there something lacking in me?" |
15603 | Well, I might try,he answered, and added curiously,"I wonder whom you find to play with? |
15603 | Well, did you enjoy it, Patty? |
15603 | Well, he is trying to hold us up in highwayman fashion, is n''t he? |
15603 | Well, how many folks in this world have ever had what you might call a decent chance? |
15603 | Well, one did n''t go before, did it? |
15603 | Well, people do come, do n''t they? 15603 Well, there''s a chance, is n''t there, that the weather may decide it?" |
15603 | Well, why not? 15603 Well?" |
15603 | Were you looking at me or my shadow? |
15603 | What business is that of yours? |
15603 | What could I mean more than that? 15603 What did he say to you? |
15603 | What did he tell you? |
15603 | What did you think of Benham? |
15603 | What did you think of her dress, Stephen? |
15603 | What do you know of her? |
15603 | What do you mean? 15603 What do you reckon the Governor would say to it?" |
15603 | What do you think of the Governor? |
15603 | What do you want me to do? 15603 What do you want?" |
15603 | What do you wish me to do? |
15603 | What have I to say? 15603 What if I tell you that I''ve no intention of making love to you?" |
15603 | What is he like? 15603 What is it all about, Father? |
15603 | What, Stephen? 15603 When are you moving?" |
15603 | Where are we? |
15603 | Where did you see him? |
15603 | Where is Patty? |
15603 | Where? 15603 Which he calls love, you think?" |
15603 | Who is that woman, Corinna? |
15603 | Who knows what may happen? 15603 Who was there? |
15603 | Who would have thought that an independent candidate could win over both parties? |
15603 | Who would n''t? |
15603 | Why did n''t you call it a collection? |
15603 | Why did she come here? 15603 Why does n''t he come?" |
15603 | Why does n''t some one hush that child? |
15603 | Why is n''t beauty enough? 15603 Why not, Father?" |
15603 | Why should n''t he? 15603 Why should that interest you?" |
15603 | Why this sudden interest in Vetch? |
15603 | Why, what should I know of it? |
15603 | Will you come when I send for you? 15603 Will you go looking like this?" |
15603 | Will you tell me,asked the woman hurriedly,"who lives in this house?" |
15603 | Wo n''t you come to my shop sometimes? 15603 Wo n''t you look into it yourself?" |
15603 | Would he enjoy telling me the truth? |
15603 | Would n''t you rather I went home with you? |
15603 | Would n''t you remember me? 15603 Would you like to go out into the garden? |
15603 | Would you mind leaving me alone in here for just a few minutes? |
15603 | Would you? |
15603 | Yes, I know,replied Corinna; and then-- was it in innocence or in malice?--she asked sweetly:"Have you seen Alice Rokeby this winter?" |
15603 | You ai n''t, is you, Miss Patty? |
15603 | You are almost everything you wished to be in the world, are n''t you? |
15603 | You are the Governor''s daughter? 15603 You believe that?" |
15603 | You brought the medicine? |
15603 | You compare him with John? |
15603 | You do n''t mind waiting a moment, do you? |
15603 | You do not wish to speak to him? |
15603 | You expected me? |
15603 | You expected something better? |
15603 | You feel that I am sincere? |
15603 | You feel that he is losing his grip on the crowd? |
15603 | You know-- you must know, if you know him at all, that he would rather you spared her--"Know him? |
15603 | You may have this support-- I neither affirm nor deny it-- but upon what does it rest? 15603 You mean he will not tell me?" |
15603 | You mean he would n''t think it a suitable marriage? |
15603 | You mean that she is in town? |
15603 | You mean that you defend that sort of thing-- that you openly stand for it? |
15603 | You mean that you have n''t been happy? |
15603 | You mean the conditions in this city? |
15603 | You mean there is something else you want to see me about? |
15603 | You mean when I run for the Presidency? |
15603 | You mean you would like an explosion? |
15603 | You mean your father never mentioned it to you? 15603 You say this because you know Stephen?" |
15603 | You think a great deal of him? |
15603 | You think he wo n''t ask her to marry him? |
15603 | You think that I blow my own horn too loudly,he continued,"but, after all, who knows how to blow it half so well as I do? |
15603 | You think that Vetch is a great leader? |
15603 | You think then that I arranged to fall down and risk breaking my bones for the sake of having you pick me up? |
15603 | You took her like that-- because the mother was going to prison? |
15603 | You used to care for her a great deal-- once? |
15603 | You would have done it in my place? |
15603 | You would n''t mind telling me, would you, the Governor''s name? |
15603 | You''d like to see the old man go to the Senate, and maybe higher up, would n''t you? |
15603 | You''re in a powerful hurry to- day, ai n''t you? |
15603 | You''ve a pretty good opinion of the old man, have n''t you, Patty? |
15603 | Your hat''s all right, ai n''t it? 15603 Your wife has been dead a long time?" |
15603 | A mental thinness perhaps? |
15603 | A pathetic face, is n''t it? |
15603 | A quiver of animation passed like a spasm over her features, and she inquired eagerly,"Where is he? |
15603 | About the campaign?" |
15603 | After all, if the old order crumbled, was it not because of its own weakness? |
15603 | After all, if you began to judge men by the quality of their jokes where would it lead you? |
15603 | After all, was not tranquil happiness the best that life had to offer? |
15603 | After all, was there a hidden self, a buried forest within her soul which she had never discovered? |
15603 | After all, what could he tell her that she did not know? |
15603 | After all, what was there to choose between the near- sighted and the far- sighted social vision? |
15603 | After all, where could they meet? |
15603 | After this what could Corinna answer? |
15603 | Again he asked himself if she could have known Gideon Vetch in the past? |
15603 | All that he responded now to Stephen''s outburst was,"Has anybody offered to buy them?" |
15603 | Aloud the elder girl said casually,"It is so quaint living down here in the Square, is n''t it?" |
15603 | An emotional dryness? |
15603 | And after all, what had they done to her? |
15603 | And did he really love her? |
15603 | And if Mrs. Green should ever come here, must I tell her that you would like to see her?" |
15603 | And may I inquire what use you intend to make of him after you have captured him from the enemy?" |
15603 | And this terror translated into sound asked presently:"Are-- are you sure?" |
15603 | And to- night? |
15603 | And what was life, after all, except a complex and intricate blend of human relations? |
15603 | And why should she have thought it necessary to warn her against caring too much for Stephen? |
15603 | And yet what after all was the simple truth about Gideon Vetch? |
15603 | And you say she never mentioned it?" |
15603 | And, if she understood, what difference would it make in her life-- and in Stephen''s life? |
15603 | Are there any extras?" |
15603 | Are you going to tell him where you''ve been?" |
15603 | Are you going?" |
15603 | As she glanced up into his admiring eyes, she found herself wondering what Stephen had thought while he watched her? |
15603 | As she looked back at him, she wondered what his past could have been-- how deep, how complex, how varied was his experience of life? |
15603 | As she showed no inclination to follow this train of moralizing, he asked suddenly,"Do you remember your mother?" |
15603 | At his age how can any one tell?" |
15603 | At the Berkeleys''?" |
15603 | Beyond him stood his father, beyond his father stood his grandfather, beyond the tranquil succession of his grandfathers stood-- what? |
15603 | But are you really and truly sure that she is my mother''s sister?" |
15603 | But are you sure it has gone as far as that? |
15603 | But between us, Patty, my child, you wo n''t forget what you have to say to the old man, will you?" |
15603 | But can you administer it successfully without philanthropy?" |
15603 | But do n''t you like Benham?" |
15603 | But do you like her?" |
15603 | But even then, accepting that charitable interpretation, what explained the objectionable presence of Gershom? |
15603 | But how could I?" |
15603 | But what can one build a world on except human relations-- except relations between men and women?" |
15603 | But what has she to do with your change of ambition?" |
15603 | But what of Miss Vetch? |
15603 | But why, she wondered, did they persist in holding their conferences at the top of their voices? |
15603 | But you never knew what became of the mother?" |
15603 | But, after all, I suppose the question goes deeper than that?" |
15603 | But, if she is my mother''s sister, why has she never written to me?" |
15603 | Ca n''t you see her there at the foot of the bed?" |
15603 | Ca n''t you see what it is in reality-- that we are preying on the helpless?" |
15603 | Can I help you?" |
15603 | Can you have ceased already to desire these lovely things? |
15603 | Can you understand what I mean?" |
15603 | Can you, I question, achieve anything important enough to compensate for what you sacrifice?" |
15603 | Catching his reflection in the glass, she called out in her crisp tones,"My dear boy, where on earth have you been? |
15603 | Civilization? |
15603 | Corinna admired Benham; she respected him; she liked-- was it even possible, she asked herself, that she loved him? |
15603 | Corinna had gone home, he supposed, and he wondered idly if she were with Benham? |
15603 | Could one never escape it? |
15603 | Could she never forget? |
15603 | Could that piece of tapestry lose its charm for you, or that Spanish desk, or those English prints, or the old morocco of that binding? |
15603 | Could the lust of blood be changed by a document into the love of one''s brother? |
15603 | Could the shallow pink and white loveliness of that other woman, the historic type of the World''s Desire, bear comparison with her own starry beauty? |
15603 | Did Patty''s charm for them both lie in her unlikeness to everything they had known in the past? |
15603 | Did he come?" |
15603 | Did he possess some magic gift of personality which caused the artificial, the counterfeit, to wither in his presence? |
15603 | Did he represent, this carpenter who was also a politician, the political despotism of the worker-- the crook and scourge of the labourer''s power? |
15603 | Did he think Patty Vetch pretty or not? |
15603 | Did n''t you tell me, Darrow, that you had known this young man''s father?" |
15603 | Did she have the eyes and the soul to see and feel beauty? |
15603 | Did the starry flower bloom not in the dream, but in reality? |
15603 | Did you bring nothing else?" |
15603 | Did you even take the trouble to go to the polls and vote against me?" |
15603 | Did you know it?" |
15603 | Did you notice that I had made myself as terrible as an army with banners?" |
15603 | Did you see him?" |
15603 | Do n''t you think that Patty improves every day?" |
15603 | Do n''t you?" |
15603 | Do we turn up this street?" |
15603 | Do you feel that the colours in that brocade at your back could ever become meaningless?" |
15603 | Do you know where my aunt is?" |
15603 | Do you remember how you talked to me in your college days about outstripping John in the race? |
15603 | Do you think that Mr. Benham would be better in the Senate?" |
15603 | Do you think, by the way, that Mrs. Stribling would like another husband, and such a husband as our friend the demagogue?" |
15603 | Does he dislike him also?" |
15603 | Does he wish me to receive this as a confidence or with pretended hilarity?" |
15603 | Elasticity, variability-- were not these the indispensable qualities of the modern mind? |
15603 | Even if it means failure?" |
15603 | Ever heard him speak?" |
15603 | Every day was a new one, so why bother about yesterday? |
15603 | Gershom?" |
15603 | Gideon Vetch''s daughter?" |
15603 | Green?" |
15603 | Had Corinna spoken the truth when she called him a sentimentalist at heart? |
15603 | Had he lost not only all that was vital, but all that was stable, that was positive and affirmative in his life? |
15603 | Had he read the thought in her mind? |
15603 | Had he seen how embarrassed she was beneath her pretence of gaiety? |
15603 | Had her adventurous return to power been merely a prelude to the ultimate Waterloo? |
15603 | Had her imagination, she wondered, prepared her to meet one of the picturesque radicals of fiction? |
15603 | Had she forgotten already, Stephen asked himself cynically, that it was not her foot but her ankle? |
15603 | Had she intended them as a warning? |
15603 | Had she really hurt herself, or was she merely indulging some hereditary streak of buffoonery at his expense? |
15603 | Had she talked to Stephen Culpeper about the things people are supposed to discuss at a dinner? |
15603 | Had the sun set on her conquests? |
15603 | Had the war awakened in him, he wondered, the need of crude emotional stimulants, the dangerous allurement of the unfamiliar, the exotic? |
15603 | Has Stephen really thought of marriage?" |
15603 | Has anything happened to worry him?" |
15603 | Has it ever occurred to you that middle age ought to be called the age of denial?" |
15603 | Has it sounded like that to you? |
15603 | Has n''t she her own particular happiness?" |
15603 | Have I been using superior tactics without knowing it?" |
15603 | Have n''t I been talking to Father over at the Capitol for the last three hours?" |
15603 | Have n''t I felt this way a hundred times in the last six months, only to grow indifferent and even bored within the next few hours?" |
15603 | Have you any idea what they want?" |
15603 | Have you ever wondered how George Stribling stood her? |
15603 | Have you lost your ambition?" |
15603 | Have you seen Patty?" |
15603 | Have you seen Patty?" |
15603 | Have you seen the Governor again since the evening we dined with him?" |
15603 | He does some dirty work, does n''t he?" |
15603 | He is at the house every day--""Well?" |
15603 | He wanted Patty, he knew, but did he want her enough to justify the effort that he must make to win her? |
15603 | He was in a kind of cold rage; and do you know what he said to me? |
15603 | He wondered if it could be traced back to the phraseology of the circus? |
15603 | Her face flushed at the thought, and as Stephen watched her, he asked in a gentler voice,"Are you really to be married in June?" |
15603 | His followers believed in him; his opponents distrusted him; but was this not true of every political leader since the beginning of politics? |
15603 | His instinct, he knew, was right, but would his resolution last until he had found Patty? |
15603 | How can he help it when he cares for me so much?" |
15603 | How could any one understand him? |
15603 | How could one fathom his power for good or for evil? |
15603 | How could she adjust her life to their adoring regard? |
15603 | How could she have imagined for an instant that the Governor could stand a comparison like this? |
15603 | How could she possibly endure their unfaltering candour? |
15603 | How in the world, he asked himself, did she happen to be his daughter? |
15603 | How little, after all, did any one know of Gideon Vetch? |
15603 | How long would it be, she wondered, before it would survive only in the dry bones of genealogical scandals? |
15603 | How much had the girl understood? |
15603 | How much had they ever understood of that symbol of a changing world which they had loved and hated under the name of Gideon Vetch? |
15603 | How much had they understood? |
15603 | How on earth, Stephen wondered, could the Governor tolerate the venerable Abijah, the chosen companion of Culpeper children for two generations? |
15603 | How was it possible to arrest the attention of a man who insisted on talking of prohibition? |
15603 | How would you like to come every morning and help me for an hour or two in my shop? |
15603 | How, above all, could any one judge him? |
15603 | Humanity? |
15603 | I ca n''t tie their hands, can I?" |
15603 | I care a great deal-- but will it last? |
15603 | I do n''t know anything-- and yet how could I be expected to know anything after the dull life I''ve had? |
15603 | I have a magic you know-- but she looks well, does n''t she? |
15603 | I wonder if unhappiness could ever make me so indifferent to appearances?" |
15603 | I wonder what she was like when she was my age?" |
15603 | I wonder why she is doing it?" |
15603 | If it is n''t far, will you take me now?" |
15603 | If she, even as a child, had struggled so hard to improve herself and change in the right way, not the wrong way-- then why should n''t he? |
15603 | If you''ve made up your mind to go, you wo n''t be blaming me afterward?" |
15603 | Irreconcilable, they call them, and yet I wonder, I wonder more and more, if this is not a misinterpretation of history? |
15603 | Is he, Mother?" |
15603 | Is n''t Patty Vetch as well advertised as the newest illustrated weekly?" |
15603 | Is n''t it enough to force me to acknowledge your superior tactics?" |
15603 | Is n''t it just possible to- day that we might find a circus rider who was born a president too?" |
15603 | Is n''t it the first step upward in a political career?" |
15603 | Is n''t she adorable?" |
15603 | Is n''t the conservative merely the creature of habit? |
15603 | Is she pretty?" |
15603 | Is that right?" |
15603 | Is there anything that has escaped your instinctive understanding?" |
15603 | Is there anything we can do for it?" |
15603 | John, what do you think will come of the strike?" |
15603 | May I ask if you do?" |
15603 | May I take you in my car?" |
15603 | May I tell the man to drop me at my rooms?" |
15603 | Must she, who had long ago ceased to love the man, still be enslaved to resentment against the woman? |
15603 | Not in a circus?" |
15603 | Not really?" |
15603 | Not your father?" |
15603 | Now we are wondering how he will handle this strike if it comes off; and what effect it will have on his career? |
15603 | Oh, was it all to begin over again after the days and nights when he had threshed it out alone in desperation of mind? |
15603 | Oh, why ca n''t everybody be happy?" |
15603 | Oh, you mean about standing by his friends?" |
15603 | Or are all gray- haired women alike to you?" |
15603 | Or has he others?" |
15603 | Or was it merely that here also she felt, rather than perceived, the intrinsic weakness of the old order? |
15603 | Or was she merely relieving the monotony of life indoors by gazing down into Franklin Street at an hour when it was almost deserted? |
15603 | Or was there some deeper purpose, some serious attempt to learn the truth beneath her casual question? |
15603 | Or was there some solid foundation of fact in his blustering assumption of power? |
15603 | Page had once said, to prevent the finest impulses from coming to flower? |
15603 | Page meant by her questions? |
15603 | Page, ca n''t you make her go home?" |
15603 | Page, who looked as if she had stepped down from one of those old prints, thought of her? |
15603 | Page?" |
15603 | Page?" |
15603 | People say that I am an opportunist; but who has ever discovered any other policy that deals with life so completely? |
15603 | Perhaps, who could tell, she may have had the best that life had to give? |
15603 | Poor Stephen, what has he done?" |
15603 | Queer, ai n''t it, the way we spend a million dollars or more on a thing one year, and the next want to kick it out on the junk heap? |
15603 | Rokeby?" |
15603 | Rokeby?" |
15603 | Shall we say that the attainable is the undesirable?" |
15603 | She asked me if I had ever heard of any one falling in love with a plaster saint?" |
15603 | She had given herself for what? |
15603 | She saw herself from the beginning-- striving without rest-- searching-- searching-- for what? |
15603 | She shivered, and he asked with a sympathy he had not displayed for mental discomforts:"Are n''t you dreadfully chilled? |
15603 | She tried to work it out that way, and what came of it except more rottenness? |
15603 | Since he had been in office what had they learned except that he was approachable in human relations and unapproachable in political ones? |
15603 | Smart chap, do n''t you think? |
15603 | Splendid? |
15603 | Stephen, inspired to hero worship, asked himself again what the difference was, beyond simple personal rectitude, between Vetch and Benham? |
15603 | Stribling?" |
15603 | Surely there was no truth in the old gossip that she had heard long ago and forgotten? |
15603 | Surely you can not imagine that there would be happiness for my son in a marriage with the daughter of Gideon Vetch?" |
15603 | Surely you do n''t waste your pity on me? |
15603 | That was the way his father and mother had married; and why were he and Margaret different from the generations before them? |
15603 | That''s his name, ai n''t it?" |
15603 | That''s the name of that dark fellow who''s a politician of doubtful cast, is n''t it?" |
15603 | The strike? |
15603 | Then before he could toss back her questions she asked quickly,"After all, he did n''t actually ride, did he?" |
15603 | Then he asked impulsively, while pity burned at white heat within him,"Is Father here? |
15603 | Then she added hurriedly:"Is that all? |
15603 | Then she met his eyes boldly:"Would n''t you fight against it in her place?" |
15603 | Then turning abruptly to Stephen, he said sharply:"You heard Gershom''s parting shot at me, did n''t you?" |
15603 | Then turning to Stephen, he added with a whimsical smile,"If you are so much afraid of Vetch, why do n''t you fight him with his own weapons? |
15603 | Then you have seen her?" |
15603 | Then, glancing toward the door, she asked breathlessly,"Did n''t Gideon Vetch come with you?" |
15603 | To discover with you is to possess-- don''t you understand the blessing of that? |
15603 | Was Corinna, who had failed in philanthropy and chosen beauty, the only wise one among them? |
15603 | Was death always like this-- a victory of material and mechanical forces? |
15603 | Was he actually a force that would have to be reckoned with in the future? |
15603 | Was he born in this town?" |
15603 | Was he joking, or was there an undercurrent of seriousness in his words? |
15603 | Was he surprised for once into open discomfiture, or was his nimble wit engaged in framing a plausible answer? |
15603 | Was he, for all his matter- of- fact appearance, simply another political dreamer, another visionary without a definite vision? |
15603 | Was he, with his bigness, his earnestness, his luminous candour, only an overgrown child? |
15603 | Was her dress just what it ought to have been? |
15603 | Was her impulse to help only the need of a fresh interest, the craving for a new amusement? |
15603 | Was her long day over at last? |
15603 | Was it Vetch, after all, who had shown him the way out, who had knocked a hole in the wall? |
15603 | Was it impossible, even by the most patient search, to discover some justification of the formlessness of the age, of the crazy instinct for ugliness? |
15603 | Was it maliciously arranged by Fate that Patty Vetch''s social success should depend upon the people who had elected her father to office? |
15603 | Was it natural ingenuousness, or did the girl have a deeper motive? |
15603 | Was it possible that he was the one man in town who did not treat the fellow as a ridiculous farce? |
15603 | Was it possible that she had known Gideon Vetch in his obscure past? |
15603 | Was it possible that she had not heard the gossip about Benham and Mrs. Rokeby? |
15603 | Was it the burden of her inheritance, the weakness of the older races, that she could not forget? |
15603 | Was it to see me?" |
15603 | Was it true that no one was ever given the chance to be one''s best? |
15603 | Was it true, as Vetch had once said, that organized killing, even in a just cause, must bring its spiritual punishment? |
15603 | Was not Corinna''s place among those vanished beauties of a richer age, rather than among the sour- faced reformers and the Gideon Vetches of to- day? |
15603 | Was not the fact of its decay the sign of some secret disintegration, of rottenness at the core? |
15603 | Was romance, after all, he thought sharply, the only reality? |
15603 | Was she really as happy as she looked, or was it only a gallant pretence, nothing more? |
15603 | Was she really pretty, or was it only the witchery of her surroundings? |
15603 | Was she trying to mislead him by an appearance of flippancy? |
15603 | Was she watching for some one? |
15603 | Was that deep instinct for perfection, the romantic vision of things as they ought to be, awaking again? |
15603 | Was that his daughter who went out just now?" |
15603 | Was that the secret of the Governor''s irresistible magnetism, of his meteoric rise into power? |
15603 | Was the girl as shallow as she appeared, or was there, beneath her vivid enamel- like surface, some rich plastic substance of character? |
15603 | Was the tenderness in his glance only an ironical comment on the ignominious end of her Hundred Days? |
15603 | Was there anything that could explain or excuse the presence of Gershom? |
15603 | Was there no depth below the shallows? |
15603 | Was there really the mist of tears in her sparkling glance? |
15603 | Was this only a mood, she wondered, or was it the expression of a profound disappointment? |
15603 | Was this only the impression of Vetch on her mood? |
15603 | Was this the best that democracy had to offer mankind? |
15603 | Was this the result, he wondered now, of what she had missed in life rather than of what she had attained? |
15603 | Was this the vague resemblance that had baffled him ever since he had entered the room? |
15603 | Was this true, not only of that dying woman, but of her father and Stephen and Corinna and herself and all human beings everywhere? |
15603 | Was this what humanity had struggled for-- had lived and fought and died for-- since man first came up out of the primeval jungle? |
15603 | Well, what of that? |
15603 | Were n''t they good ones?" |
15603 | Were they alike also, he wondered, in their fantastic mental processes? |
15603 | What association of ideas did the sight of her recall? |
15603 | What did it mean? |
15603 | What difference did it make whether she was mine or not? |
15603 | What do they say?" |
15603 | What do you offer the people that is better than the principles or the promises of the old parties? |
15603 | What does she know of life outside of a cedar tree?" |
15603 | What had she done that was right? |
15603 | What had she done that was wrong? |
15603 | What has he done with her? |
15603 | What has that to do with it?" |
15603 | What have they done to you?" |
15603 | What have you done to yourself? |
15603 | What he had asked himself again and again was why, since she was so perfectly desirable in every way, he had never fallen in love with her? |
15603 | What is Rose Stribling to me or I to her?" |
15603 | What is a forum, Father?" |
15603 | What is a forum, Father?" |
15603 | What sordid horror was the child facing now? |
15603 | What unspeakable degradation? |
15603 | What variable strain in their natures impelled them to lead their own separate lives instead of the collective life of the family? |
15603 | What was the meaning in these things? |
15603 | What was the name of it? |
15603 | What was there about the fellow that held one in spite of oneself? |
15603 | What was there about this girl, Corinna asked herself, which appealed so strongly to the protective impulse in her heart? |
15603 | What was there in this man that convinced her in spite of everything that Benham had told her? |
15603 | What was there in this unformed child that appealed so strongly to her sympathy and tenderness? |
15603 | What was there indeed for him to do except stare at a lack of reticence, of good- breeding, which he felt to be deplorable? |
15603 | What was this fundamental difference in material or structure which divided them so completely? |
15603 | What were you doing, you and John, when the people voted for him?" |
15603 | When she had traced it to its source would she discover the secret of Vetch''s conquering personality? |
15603 | Where could one find unalterable peace if it were not high above the ebb and flow of desire? |
15603 | Where had he seen that woman before? |
15603 | Where had she seen her before? |
15603 | Where have you been?" |
15603 | Where is she?" |
15603 | Where was the beauty? |
15603 | Where will he go?" |
15603 | Which way do we go?" |
15603 | Who had first said of her, he wondered, that she looked like an October morning? |
15603 | Who is?" |
15603 | Who was it, she wondered, who had said that his eyes were gray? |
15603 | Why are they going to strike?" |
15603 | Why did one''s path lead always through mazes of uncertainty and disappointment instead of straight onward toward one''s desire? |
15603 | Why did they persist in creating confusion? |
15603 | Why do n''t you ask Peyton?" |
15603 | Why do n''t you ask some of the girls who have n''t any partners? |
15603 | Why does beauty without love turn to sadness?" |
15603 | Why not try a new one next time?" |
15603 | Why should I care how it goes? |
15603 | Why should I have had? |
15603 | Why should any one be troubled when it is so easy to be happy?" |
15603 | Why should it be different now? |
15603 | Why should she blush like a schoolgirl because of the way this man-- or any man-- looked at her? |
15603 | Why should she still cherish that dull resentment, that smothered sense of injury in her heart? |
15603 | Why was he always forgetting? |
15603 | Why was it that men and circumstances would never let one be natural and generous? |
15603 | Why were they obliged to cause so much unnecessary discomfort? |
15603 | Why will people always write things they do n''t mean and know are not true about love? |
15603 | Why would n''t people be happy? |
15603 | Why, in thunder, he asked himself, had he stayed so long? |
15603 | Why, is n''t that the daughter of the Governor?" |
15603 | Why, what in the world?" |
15603 | Will he be able to stand firm at the last?" |
15603 | Will you answer me frankly?" |
15603 | Will you come out on the porch?" |
15603 | Will you let me take you home?" |
15603 | With her head bent and her hands folded in her lap, she sat there waiting pensively-- for what? |
15603 | Wo n''t you come in and rest until my car comes?" |
15603 | Wo n''t you smoke?" |
15603 | Wo n''t you try to see that, daughter?" |
15603 | Would it ever pass, and would life become again normal and placid without losing its zest and its interest? |
15603 | Would n''t it be possible to look at it while you were seeing something else, something so drab that it would take the colour out of all beauty?" |
15603 | Would she be better looking if she were to let her hair grow long again? |
15603 | Would she be worth to him the break with his mother, with his traditions, with his inherited ideals? |
15603 | Would there always be women like that in the world, she asked herself-- women whose horizon ended with the beginning of sex? |
15603 | Would you like to see her?" |
15603 | Yes, the man was a mountebank-- but was he nothing more than a mountebank? |
15603 | Yet, right or wrong, has n''t the war stretched a little the safety net of our democracy? |
15603 | You ai n''t timid, are you?" |
15603 | You ca n''t wish me to dress like the unpopular ones, can you?" |
15603 | You do n''t mind his stepping inside a minute?" |
15603 | You do not need any help?" |
15603 | You go with Darrow?" |
15603 | You know what it means?" |
15603 | You mean feeling?" |
15603 | You mean in politics?" |
15603 | You mean that I sound ignoble?" |
15603 | You said her father was like that, did n''t you? |
15603 | You understand why he told you?" |
15603 | You''ve got a punch, ai n''t you, sonny? |
15603 | You''ve seen a great deal of her, have n''t you?" |
15603 | asked Corinna doubtfully, and she added to herself after a moment,"I wonder?" |
15603 | cried another; and"Oh, Ma, when we move to- morrow will you let me take the kitten I found?" |
15603 | exclaimed Stephen with unaffected delight,"maneuver-- misinformation-- multitude--""So she has practised on you too?" |
15603 | he asked quickly; and again after a pause in which she did not answer:"Corinna, is it too late?" |
15603 | she asked, and wondered if he would kiss her again when they parted as he had kissed her yesterday in the dusk of the hall? |
15603 | she thought,"why can not I also mistake the urging of desire for the command of conscience-- or at least call it that in my mind?" |
30299 | ''Do you mean my heart or my head, General?'' 30299 ''Most anything, eh? |
30299 | ''Twas the leg he lost at Seven Pines-- wasn''t it?--that supported her? |
30299 | A lady? 30299 A little girl? |
30299 | A preacher? |
30299 | A real dream lady in pink tarlatan? |
30299 | A silly person? 30299 Ah, Miss Matoaca, does our own experience ever teach us to understand the experience of others?" |
30299 | Ah, it is, is it? 30299 Ai n''t I done tole you how''tis?" |
30299 | Ai n''t I gwine drap de gent''man some whar on de way up? |
30299 | Ai n''t you ever hyern er Marse Bland? 30299 Air you what?" |
30299 | Am I common? |
30299 | An ambition? |
30299 | An''did he shut it? |
30299 | An''do n''t you ever leave off? |
30299 | An''may I play under the trees on the terrace where you built yo''houses of moss and stones? |
30299 | An''when''ll I grow up if I keep on fast? |
30299 | An''which did they give him, Uncle? |
30299 | An''you''ve promised on yo''life to sham sick to- morrow? |
30299 | And Miss Mitty, will she not come with you? |
30299 | And Miss Mitty? |
30299 | And are you not happy here, dear? |
30299 | And do you think she likes George, General? |
30299 | And do you think, Ben, that you are the only person who is considering Sally''s happiness? |
30299 | And have I tried to break yours? |
30299 | And how did she take it? |
30299 | And if you''re poor you''ll let me be poor too? 30299 And is she entirely alone? |
30299 | And is there nothing to be said for the claims of love? |
30299 | And lost it? |
30299 | And she did n''t suffer? |
30299 | And she''s seriously engaged to you? |
30299 | And suppose,she demanded in a clear voice,"that love was all that I wanted?" |
30299 | And take you into the house? |
30299 | And that is? |
30299 | And the General and the Great South Midland and Atlantic Railroad? |
30299 | And the churchyard and the red shoes and Samuel? |
30299 | And this is your road? |
30299 | And what did she say then, Aunt Euphronasia? |
30299 | And what may ma''s name be? |
30299 | And what was that? |
30299 | And what,she asked slowly,"do you consider to be worthy of my acceptance?" |
30299 | And when it ceases to be you''ll throw it over? |
30299 | And where does he live? |
30299 | And you danced all night? |
30299 | And you did n''t feel any better? |
30299 | And you do n''t even glance at the political headlines? 30299 And you expect me to remember what I promised four years ago?" |
30299 | And you expect to flutter about a stove in a pale blue breakfast jacket and a lace cap? |
30299 | And you go South? |
30299 | And you would do it over again? |
30299 | And you''ll make a sacrifice for me-- as the General said George wouldn''t-- whenever I happen particularly to want one? |
30299 | And you''re doing all this learning just to get an education, ai n''t you? |
30299 | And you''ve done this all your life? |
30299 | And you''ve got fifty thousand dollars already? |
30299 | And you''ve got it, sweetheart? |
30299 | And you''ve kept that? |
30299 | And you? |
30299 | And yours? |
30299 | Any relative of Jack Starr? |
30299 | Are her folks still livin''? 30299 Are the two old ladies his daughters?" |
30299 | Are there ghosts here really an''have you seen''em? |
30299 | Are we? |
30299 | Are you all right? |
30299 | Are you going out? |
30299 | Are you going to market, Aunt Matoaca? |
30299 | Are you going to work, Ben? |
30299 | Are you happy here, Jessy? |
30299 | Are you in pain now, Sally? 30299 Are you laughing now, Sally?" |
30299 | Are you precious sure she is n''t flirting? 30299 Are you president of it still, sir?" |
30299 | Are you sure George has n''t let it out? 30299 Are you sure they ai n''t among the vegetables?" |
30299 | Are you sure they did not pass here? |
30299 | Are you sure you are strong enough, Sally? |
30299 | As the General? |
30299 | At any rate he does n''t humiliate you? |
30299 | At least you dosed them? |
30299 | Aunt Euphronasia, do you know where Sally goes every afternoon? |
30299 | Believes what, sir? |
30299 | Ben, are you happy? |
30299 | Ben, did you sell Beauchamp? |
30299 | Ben,he said,"what''s this Hatty tells me about George taking Sally out motoring with him yesterday, and not bringing her back? |
30299 | Boy, how do you do? |
30299 | Boy,said the voice,"do you want a dog?" |
30299 | But I thought we were going to grandmama''s? |
30299 | But I want to know, pa, why it was that I came to be named just Ben? |
30299 | But did n''t you show her his pretty blue eyes, mammy? |
30299 | But do you think their elders can judge for them? |
30299 | But her niece-- Miss Mickleborough? |
30299 | But how am I to get it, President? |
30299 | But how can anybody be serious, Aunt Mitty, about a person who did n''t know when her own tooth ached? |
30299 | But how could you? 30299 But how was I to be sure, when you did n''t want to be with me?" |
30299 | But she did not, I presume? |
30299 | But she stood up for me? |
30299 | But suppose I do n''t want anything on God''s earth except that horse? |
30299 | But suppose,I blushed, for I was a reserved man, though few people were reserved with Dr. Theophilus,"suppose that your heaven is a woman?" |
30299 | But that did n''t make you feel any brighter? |
30299 | But what do folks say to you when they see you walkin''? |
30299 | But what do you do when you get tired? |
30299 | But who is Theophilus Pry? |
30299 | But why did her father never see her again? |
30299 | But why-- why-- what on earth is the use of taking so great a risk? |
30299 | By the way, uncle, have you heard the last news? |
30299 | Ca n''t you think of anything that would be worse? |
30299 | Call me what? |
30299 | Can you guess why I loved you? |
30299 | Can you imagine it? 30299 Can you read that inscription, Ben? |
30299 | Can you wait till I speak to mammy? 30299 Coarse?" |
30299 | Could anything on earth be more serious than a lovelorn death? |
30299 | Could n''t I roll up my hair in it, Auntie? |
30299 | Cream and sugar? |
30299 | Cruel? 30299 Damn you, Ben, do you know cash is as tight as wax?" |
30299 | Damnation!--I mean Good Lord, have mercy on my toe, why should I remember you? |
30299 | Darling, how did you do it? |
30299 | Dear old enemy, I wonder what she thinks of this? |
30299 | Did it ever strike you, Benjy,he enquired solemnly, after a minute,"that in the marriage of ma and pa the breeches were on the wrong one of''em? |
30299 | Did ma name me Ben Starr, or just Ben? |
30299 | Did ma name you, too? |
30299 | Did that last smash cost you anything? |
30299 | Did they give''em to him because he talked too much? |
30299 | Did you dream then that you''d ever stand here with me like this? |
30299 | Did you go to Miss Matoaca? |
30299 | Did you have a good time? |
30299 | Did you tell me to lay a slice of middlin''along side of''em, Susan? |
30299 | Did you, darling? |
30299 | Do I understand that you are proposing to other men and women or to me, sir? |
30299 | Do for you? 30299 Do n''t you see-- oh, ca n''t you see,"she asked,"that it is because of these very things that I love him? |
30299 | Do n''t you think it''s about time all honest folk were out of bed, sonny? |
30299 | Do n''t you want a cat, boy? |
30299 | Do the flowers bother you? 30299 Do you believe it after listening to that confounded fog- horn on the porch?" |
30299 | Do you call it hatching or crowing to become president of the Union Bank? |
30299 | Do you dare to tell me to my face that I married you for money? |
30299 | Do you feel yourself getting big, Ben? |
30299 | Do you hear often from President, Jessy? |
30299 | Do you know me now? |
30299 | Do you know who lives in that grey house, Mammy? |
30299 | Do you mean that you will marry me? |
30299 | Do you mean to tell me that you learned these gallantries in Johnson''s Dictionary? |
30299 | Do you mean to tell me you can sit down and read a dictionary for the pure pleasure of reading? |
30299 | Do you mean to tell me you had n''t heard it? |
30299 | Do you mind my calling you one? 30299 Do you remember the first day, Ben?" |
30299 | Do you remember the night of the storm and the cup of milk you would n''t drink? |
30299 | Do you remember the stormy night when you would not let me take your wet cap because I was a common boy?. |
30299 | Do you remember what you said? |
30299 | Do you still remember me because of the blue- eyed collie? |
30299 | Do you think I''d be left? |
30299 | Do you think that, Sally? |
30299 | Do you want a dog, boy? |
30299 | Do you want one very badly? |
30299 | Does George see her? |
30299 | Does it follow, General, that she would have been a happy one? |
30299 | Does n''t it make you happy? |
30299 | Does n''t it tickle you, Ben? |
30299 | Does the burn hurt you, Sally? |
30299 | Does there exist a woman,I demanded sternly,"who can be humorous over her own eviction?" |
30299 | Does your head ache, darling? |
30299 | Done? 30299 Dreadful, Sally?" |
30299 | Easy? 30299 Eh? |
30299 | Even when we get them from life, have n''t most of them had their beginning in books? |
30299 | Excite myself? 30299 For God''s sake, Ben, where is it coming from?" |
30299 | For God''s sake, Sally, what are you doing? |
30299 | Go home, Bessy? 30299 Go''way, chile, whar you done come f''om?" |
30299 | Going down for a little hunting? |
30299 | Good Lord, Tina,responded the doctor, with a burst of irritation,"is n''t it bad enough to be sick without being made to pay for it?" |
30299 | Good? |
30299 | Happy? 30299 Hard or soft?" |
30299 | Has he a kite? |
30299 | Has he flown out? |
30299 | Has it ever been anything else to a man since Adam? |
30299 | Has n''t developed any principles yet, eh? 30299 Has n''t got on the scent, has he?" |
30299 | Has our Bible saved a soul? 30299 Have I been very ill, Sally?" |
30299 | Have I ever deceived you,she demanded sternly,"even for your good?" |
30299 | Have I ever deceived you? |
30299 | Have I ever lied to you since we were married, Ben? |
30299 | Have n''t you noticed for weeks that the General and I have had a secret? |
30299 | Have you a time- table on your desk? |
30299 | Have you ever been there? 30299 Have you ever had a twinge of gout, boy?" |
30299 | Have you got a good place, President? |
30299 | Have you got a palm- leaf fan around, Sally? 30299 Have you noticed a lady with a little girl go by?" |
30299 | Have you read? |
30299 | Have you, indeed? 30299 Have you? |
30299 | He ai n''t swallowed anything of yours, has he? |
30299 | He told you that he loved you? |
30299 | He''s a fine, strong boy now, ai n''t he, ma''am? |
30299 | He''s a perfect bear, is n''t he, George? |
30299 | Help you to become God Almighty? |
30299 | Home? |
30299 | Hope you may die? |
30299 | How can I forget it, Aunt Mitty? 30299 How can I get well when I know that you have been starving?" |
30299 | How can I help being happy, when I have blue roses, Bonny? 30299 How can I leave you, Ben? |
30299 | How could you, Sally, when it was all for you, and you knew it? |
30299 | How did Miss Matoaca seem? |
30299 | How did Sally manage? |
30299 | How did it end? |
30299 | How do you do, Mr. Starr? 30299 How do you do? |
30299 | How is George, General? |
30299 | How like you it was,she returned, almost in a whisper, with the spray of sweet alyssum held to her lips,"and how can I thank you?" |
30299 | How long have I been ill, Sally? |
30299 | How long will it be befo''I can climb up by myself? |
30299 | How soon may I get up? |
30299 | How soon? 30299 How was I to hear of it? |
30299 | Huntley? |
30299 | I do n''t like big girls-- do you? |
30299 | I got you your job-- did I? 30299 I hope she is n''t still in love with him?" |
30299 | I know you are doing something you ought not to,she repeated,"what is it?" |
30299 | I might, Aunt Matoaca; but, as a matter of fact, have I? 30299 I promised you I''d send bills to the folks I''d cured, but, when I came to think of it, how was I to know, Tina, that I''d cured any?" |
30299 | I reckon you can tell me the meaning of''most any word, eh, Ben? |
30299 | I reckon you knew almost everybody that''s buried here, did n''t you? |
30299 | I say, Ben, why ai n''t you out on the floor? |
30299 | I say, Ben,he broke out the next minute,"why do n''t you get the housemaid to tie your cravats? |
30299 | I stoop to you? |
30299 | I thought you said it had covered every hour of your life? |
30299 | I wonder if all fathers are like that? |
30299 | I wonder why they say of you that you have no social amenities? |
30299 | I''d forgotten all about it, General, but do you really mean you will let it come to a public auction? |
30299 | I''d like to know why he ai n''t? |
30299 | I''ll let you overhaul a barrel of apples, sonny,said the big man to me;"have you got a sharp eye for specks?" |
30299 | I''m not sure, doctor,she answered;"after all flowers are tame sport, are n''t they? |
30299 | If I give you a dime, will you quit bothering me? |
30299 | If I take you home that way will you promise to sham sick to- morrow, so I sha n''t have to bring you out? |
30299 | If I were to leave you here an hour what would you do, Ben? |
30299 | If he thinks that, why did n''t he get control of the road himself? |
30299 | If you do n''t love me-- and, of course you can''t-- why do you torment me? |
30299 | If you go, may I go with you? |
30299 | If you please, General, do you remember me? |
30299 | If-- if anyone should come to enquire after me, will you be so good as to say nothing of my having been here? |
30299 | In five or ten years? |
30299 | In that case there is hope of recovery? |
30299 | Is George aware of it? |
30299 | Is Sally here? |
30299 | Is his face red and awful? |
30299 | Is it all right still? |
30299 | Is it far, President? |
30299 | Is it important? |
30299 | Is it possible that in the future-- in any future-- you could have more than yourself? |
30299 | Is it possible,enquired the old lady in the manner of her pecking parrot,"that he does not wash his face?" |
30299 | Is it the mild air, or the spring flowers? |
30299 | Is it very long? 30299 Is it, Ben?" |
30299 | Is n''t there anything that you can do for me, sir? |
30299 | Is n''t this just as nice as being rich, Ben? |
30299 | Is pa common? |
30299 | Is that because you are my native element? 30299 Is that yo''youngest? |
30299 | Is there any way, Uncle Methusalah, that you can grow up befo''yo''time? |
30299 | Is there anything else? 30299 Is your coffee right, Mr. Starr? |
30299 | Is your mamma as beautiful as mine? |
30299 | Is your mistress ill? |
30299 | It sounds strange to you,she went on,"but why should n''t I have one? |
30299 | It''s been going on thirty years sence yo''ma died, ai n''t it, Benjy? |
30299 | It''s better to be humorous over one''s own than over one''s neighbour''s, is n''t it? 30299 It''s funny, is n''t it?--that when you ask a man anything about women, he always begins to talk about his wife, even when he has n''t got one?" |
30299 | It''s like fairyland, is n''t it? |
30299 | It''s not my business to shatter your ideals,I answered, and the next minute,"O Sally, how is it to end?" |
30299 | It''s you, Ben, is it? |
30299 | Just since we''ve recovered our money? |
30299 | Learning how? |
30299 | Let her? 30299 Let me have a look,"I said, as I reached her,"is the mare hurt?" |
30299 | Library, eh? 30299 Like it? |
30299 | Look here, Ben, have you kept control of the West Virginia and Wyanoke? |
30299 | Look here, Ben,he began suddenly, with a change of tone,"what''s this trouble brewing between you and Miss Mitty Bland?" |
30299 | Lost it, Ben? |
30299 | Love a man who puts both his pride and his principles before me? |
30299 | Ma,I asked, going up to her and turning my back while she unfastened my bib with one soapy hand,"did you ever hear anybody call you common?" |
30299 | Ma,I asked, measuring myself against the red and white cloth on the table,"does it look to you as if I were growin''up?" |
30299 | May I go out to him now? |
30299 | May I go there, too, when I''m big? |
30299 | May I go, too, ma? |
30299 | May I play with him just a little while, grandmama? |
30299 | May I play with you in your garden? |
30299 | More, Sally? |
30299 | No, I suppose you ai n''t,he admitted,"but, good Lord, Ben, how did you make her do it?" |
30299 | Not meanin''any harm an''you brought him a stepmother befo''six months was up? |
30299 | Not to talk any more about my stooping to a giant? |
30299 | Now by a fair calculation how long do you suppose it will take you? |
30299 | Now that''s a matter of ch''ice, ai n''t it? |
30299 | Now, at this instant? |
30299 | Now, the first thing we''ve got to do is to get out of debt, is n''t it? |
30299 | Now-- at this instant,she agreed,"but I thought you were so patient?" |
30299 | O, Ben Starr, were you born blind? |
30299 | Of course, I''ll lend it to you; but why in the deuce were you so blamed cheerful this afternoon about that house in the country? 30299 Oh, Ben, Ben, why are you so hard? |
30299 | Oh, Ben, my dearest, are you really awake? |
30299 | Oh, I''m glad, glad the debt is gone, and now you''ll look young and splendid again, wo n''t you? |
30299 | Oh, Sally, my darling, why did you marry me? |
30299 | Oh, ca n''t you understand? |
30299 | Oh, of course, you do n''t enjoy them, Ben, as I do, but is n''t that little embroidered cloak too lovely? |
30299 | Out- of- doors? |
30299 | Pa, who named me? |
30299 | Pa,I asked presently, with an effort to resume the conversation along cheerful lines,"was it a he or a she pup?" |
30299 | Patient? 30299 Poor Sarah was the only one of us who gave up everything for the sake of an emotion,"added Miss Mitty,"and what did it bring her except misery?" |
30299 | Pour his wine, Ben,she said, dismissing the butler,"there are too many frivolities, are n''t there? |
30299 | Pretty? 30299 Promised to marry you, eh? |
30299 | Put it into a pie? |
30299 | Respect her? 30299 Right in what, Sally?" |
30299 | Ruined? 30299 Sally, am I mad or do you love me?" |
30299 | Sally, how can you receive a man who was not born a gentleman? |
30299 | Sally, how will you stand it? |
30299 | Sally,I asked seriously,"do n''t you understand that all this-- everything I''m doing-- is just for you and the boy?" |
30299 | Sally,said the old lady, turning upon me a piercing glance which was like the flash of steel in the sunlight,"is that a boy?" |
30299 | Sally? 30299 Sha n''t I be big enough to climb up befo''then?" |
30299 | Shall I confess something just as dreadful? |
30299 | Shall I read it over, mother? 30299 Shall I tell her now, or after dinner?" |
30299 | Shall I tell you a secret because of yo''blue eyes? |
30299 | Shall we sit down and talk a little over there under the smilax? |
30299 | She''ll grow used to it,said little Bessy;"but, Sally, how did you have the courage?" |
30299 | She? 30299 Slaves? |
30299 | So Sally''s going to marry you in spite of her aunts? 30299 So he believed the Wyanoke coal fields were n''t worked out, eh?" |
30299 | So his daughter fought for me? |
30299 | So she did it of her own accord? 30299 So the baby really ai n''t took anything of yours?" |
30299 | So you call that easy, gentlemen?'' 30299 So you''re still after my job, eh? |
30299 | So you''re sweeping the whole South? |
30299 | So you''ve turned up, have you? 30299 Some other interest?" |
30299 | Suppose you do it now, sir,she rejoined, with the primness of Miss Mitty, and a little later,"What else was there to do but rise, you absurd boy? |
30299 | Ten years? 30299 That depends, does n''t it,"she asked,"whether you want to marry me or my maiden aunts?" |
30299 | That they would pass? |
30299 | The first day? 30299 The rain does not sadden you, sweetheart?" |
30299 | The thing that made you learn Johnson''s Dictionary by heart? |
30299 | The thing, then,she corrected herself,"that made you learn the_ a_,_ b_,_ c_''s of Johnson''s Dictionary by heart?" |
30299 | Then I''ll begin to love it for your sake-- if it means that to you? |
30299 | Then am I, ma? |
30299 | Then if you ai n''t an''pa ai n''t exactly, how can I be? |
30299 | Then more of what? |
30299 | Then perhaps you are? |
30299 | Then the General sent you? |
30299 | Then we must start from the very bottom? |
30299 | Then where in the devil is George? 30299 Then who did name you?" |
30299 | Then who is the little girl? 30299 Then why did n''t you stay, sir?" |
30299 | Then why do n''t I say my prayers to ma instead of to God? |
30299 | Then why do n''t you choose? |
30299 | Then why warn''t I born Savage? |
30299 | Then why were you crawling so close along the wall to keep me from seeing you? |
30299 | Then you are n''t so very unhappy as long as we are together? |
30299 | Then you have n''t known it all along and kept it from me? |
30299 | Then you wo n''t be here? |
30299 | Then you''ll be satisfied with the lesser office, eh? |
30299 | Theophilus,she began in a crisp, high voice,"I hope you have sent in those bills, as you promised me?" |
30299 | There is nothing left? |
30299 | There''ll be nobody at church? |
30299 | There''s a chance now? |
30299 | There''s only one thing I''ll never, never consent to,she said,"you remember Dolly?" |
30299 | They are too small? |
30299 | They''ve lost money? |
30299 | Thinking of what, sweetheart? |
30299 | This is a nice party, is n''t it? |
30299 | To a ball,I said;"are you strong enough for that, Sally?" |
30299 | To be named just Ben? |
30299 | To have done what? |
30299 | To marry you-- you-- Ben Starr? |
30299 | To the wrong side of the world? 30299 To- morrow, then?" |
30299 | Uncle Methusalah,I asked, springing up,"how old are you?" |
30299 | View? 30299 W''at you atter, Marse Ben?" |
30299 | Was it a vow not to grow any more? |
30299 | Was it for your red shoes? 30299 Was she alone, Esdras?" |
30299 | Was she born Starr, too? |
30299 | Was she laughed at? |
30299 | Was that confounded package under his arm,I questioned, almost angrily,"some of the stuff?" |
30299 | Wat you call Miss Mitty en Miss Matoaca ole fur? 30299 Wat you reckon Miss Mitty wants wid car''ots fur''er supper? |
30299 | Wat''s dat you gwine sho''me, boy? 30299 We must go, Sally, must n''t we?" |
30299 | Well, Ben, what''re you good for? |
30299 | Well, I must go downtown, dear; I do n''t see much of you these days, do I? |
30299 | Well, how am I to know,demanded the female,"that you have n''t got a parcel of others hidden away?" |
30299 | Well, is n''t it a sad enough sight to see any lady going cracked? |
30299 | Well, my boy,he said cheerily,"you''ve had a good day, I hope?" |
30299 | Well, one ca n''t have excitement without money, can one? 30299 Well, you wo n''t see_ him_ anyway, so what is the use?" |
30299 | Well,''tis de trufe, ai n''t hit? 30299 Whar did he come from?" |
30299 | Whar you gwine now, Miss Sally? |
30299 | What about an eddication, Benjy boy? |
30299 | What are her views? |
30299 | What are you doing, boy? |
30299 | What are you whining about? |
30299 | What boy is that, Thomas? |
30299 | What business has he got not to like it after all the trouble we''ve been to on his account? 30299 What can I do for you, dearest? |
30299 | What can I do, Sally? |
30299 | What can I do? |
30299 | What can we do about it, Samuel? 30299 What day is this, Ben?" |
30299 | What did she say, mammy? 30299 What did you want with so many Bibles? |
30299 | What does she mean by coarse? |
30299 | What does that matter? |
30299 | What does the General think of it, George? |
30299 | What gentleman? |
30299 | What good will it do me if I ca n''t get an education? |
30299 | What has George got to do with it? |
30299 | What have you found out since you came in? |
30299 | What in thunder is there about the brute that has so taken your fancy? |
30299 | What is it, Ben? |
30299 | What is it, Sally, dear? |
30299 | What is it, Sally? |
30299 | What is it, doctor? |
30299 | What is she made of, Sally? |
30299 | What is that, Sally? 30299 What is that, dear?" |
30299 | What is that? |
30299 | What is that? |
30299 | What is the matter, Ben? 30299 What is the matter, you are so flushed?" |
30299 | What is the word? |
30299 | What on earth should I do at a party? |
30299 | What trouble, and why should she keep it from me? 30299 What trouble? |
30299 | What''ll yo''old woman say to it, John? |
30299 | What''ll you do with her? 30299 What''s a prà ¦-lu- di- um?" |
30299 | What''s become o''th''p- p- up- p? |
30299 | What''s become of him? |
30299 | What''s become of his doting father? |
30299 | What''s he done to make him so big? |
30299 | What''s the business? |
30299 | What''s the matter with Sally? 30299 What''s the matter with her mouth? |
30299 | What''s the matter, Ben? 30299 What? |
30299 | What? 30299 When did it happen?" |
30299 | When do you want it? |
30299 | Where does the sun go,I asked,"when it slips way down there on the other side of the river?" |
30299 | Where is the party? |
30299 | Where is your basket? |
30299 | Where we were? |
30299 | Where''s ma? |
30299 | Where''s ma? |
30299 | Where''s the other fellow, George? |
30299 | Who had the most to do with my comin''here, God or ma? |
30299 | Who is coming, Jessy? |
30299 | Who was ole Marse Henry? |
30299 | Who was that pretty girl, Ben,the General enquired presently,"I saw you walking with last Sunday? |
30299 | Who''s a Yankee? |
30299 | Who, Marse Ben? |
30299 | Who? 30299 Who? |
30299 | Whoever said you were? 30299 Whom could I marry, General?" |
30299 | Whom did he talk to, Uncle Methusalah? |
30299 | Whose dawg? |
30299 | Why ca n''t I believe, Sally, that you will really marry me a week from to- day? |
30299 | Why do n''t you lay off yo''black things till you''re through? |
30299 | Why do n''t you write to him, Jessy? 30299 Why not ride at a walk?" |
30299 | Why, what''s the matter, Ben? |
30299 | Will he break his wings on the ceiling, or will he fly out of the window? |
30299 | Will he break his wings or will he fly out? |
30299 | Will you have some syllabub, Ben? |
30299 | Will you hear it? |
30299 | Will you hear it? |
30299 | Will you let me walk under the arbours and down all the box- bordered paths? |
30299 | Will you promise me, dearest? |
30299 | Will you promise to marry me, Ben Starr? |
30299 | Will you tell your aunts, or shall I, Sally? |
30299 | Will you write to President to- night? |
30299 | With you? |
30299 | Would he kill you if he caught you? |
30299 | Would n''t it be worse,she went on in the same level voice,"if you had lost me?" |
30299 | Would n''t you like to grow up and be President, my enquiring young friend? |
30299 | Would you mind if I did n''t change, dear? 30299 Would you rather be alone? |
30299 | Would you rather he did n''t do it? 30299 Would you rather that I should n''t keep them?" |
30299 | Yes, but if you learn the_ a_''s, you''ll learn the other things,--now ai n''t that logic? 30299 Yes, something''s wrong,"he answered quietly,"but have you just found it out?" |
30299 | Yes? |
30299 | Yet she was right, I suppose, to throw him over? |
30299 | You ai n''t dozing in the midst of a panic? |
30299 | You bad boy, what are you doing? |
30299 | You brought him back because he told you that he loved you? |
30299 | You came after me? |
30299 | You came believing that George and I had gone off together? |
30299 | You did n''t see Miss Matoaca Bland pass you in a carriage as you were pushing that wheel? |
30299 | You know that I love you? |
30299 | You know what I would do if I were a rich man, Benjy? |
30299 | You know, do n''t you,she went on,"that poor Aunt Mitty''s not coming kept me from having even you? |
30299 | You like the road, too, eh? |
30299 | You mean a rich man, Ben? 30299 You mean it does n''t matter that I came away with George and spent twenty- four hours?" |
30299 | You mean the little girl wo n''t get a blessed cent? |
30299 | You mean you can say every last word of them_ a_''s,_ b_''s, and_ c_''s straight off? |
30299 | You mean you told nobody all these weeks? |
30299 | You meant you have cared for me, as I have for you-- always? |
30299 | You speculated with the ten thousand dollars? |
30299 | You think, then, that the child is-- is hopeless? |
30299 | You wa''nt what? |
30299 | You were alone and unhappy? |
30299 | You will go, too? |
30299 | You will marry me in November, Sally? |
30299 | You will not forget it? |
30299 | You will trust me now and in all the future? |
30299 | You work, eh? 30299 You''d always promised that I should be your bridesmaid,"she remarked reproachfully;"she''s hurt us dreadfully, has n''t she, Bessy? |
30299 | You''re a great man, are n''t you? |
30299 | You''re comin''along now, ai n''t you, Benjy? |
30299 | You''ve been lying here all day alone? |
30299 | You''ve come to me, have n''t you, because you think you''d like to learn a little Latin? |
30299 | Your class? |
30299 | Your old mare? |
30299 | ''Ah, General,''she replied sadly,''what are six feet two inches without a grandfather?''" |
30299 | ''What do you do, Jenny?'' |
30299 | ''Where''s Bushrod?'' |
30299 | ''Why not move out into the country and give Ben and the youngster a chance to breathe fresh air? |
30299 | A bird is a bird, ai n''t it, even if it''s a Virginia partridge?" |
30299 | A newspaper never enters her doors, and do you believe she has a relative who would be reckless enough to break it to her?" |
30299 | A sweetheart?" |
30299 | Ah, ca n''t you see-- can''t you see, that the worst ca n''t come to us while we are still together?" |
30299 | Ah, dearest, dearest, how can one lower one''s self to a giant? |
30299 | Ai n''t she got everything already that the men do n''t want? |
30299 | Ai n''t the abolitionists and the woman suffragists and the rest of those damned fire- eating Yankees all the same? |
30299 | An''if yours is n''t in there will you have to be damned? |
30299 | An''whose soul was it? |
30299 | And if you''re rich you''ll give me a share of the money?" |
30299 | And in a postscript,"What does the General say to you? |
30299 | And in these two years how much have I seen of her-- of Sally, my wife? |
30299 | And the geranium you gave me?" |
30299 | And were those pathetic red spots the outward sign of a stab in her gentle bosom? |
30299 | And where I failed would George be always ready to fill the unspoken need and to bestow the unasked- for sympathy? |
30299 | And you hear me laugh?" |
30299 | Are n''t blue roses an emblem of the impossible achieved?" |
30299 | Are we common to the bone, I wonder? |
30299 | Are you acting the part of a gay deceiver?" |
30299 | Are you going to be a lawyer?" |
30299 | Are you going to pass away in ignorance of polite society and the manners of the ladies?" |
30299 | Are you often up with the dawn, too?" |
30299 | Are you sure it''s Sally Mickleborough?" |
30299 | Are you sure we have money enough for a ball?" |
30299 | Are you working too hard?" |
30299 | Are your fingers all thumbs?" |
30299 | As I met Sally''s eyes over the roses and lilies, I wondered if she had seen my cowardliness as I had seen Jessy''s, and been repelled by it? |
30299 | At this time? |
30299 | Barclay, did you say? |
30299 | Before I looked: at him I got a vague impression that he was handsome; after I looked at him I began to wonder curiously why he was not? |
30299 | Boxley?" |
30299 | But as long as it does n''t cost any more, you''ve no objection to my cooking in pink instead of drab, I suppose?" |
30299 | But do n''t you think your prosperity is excessive considering the impoverished condition of the country?" |
30299 | But even after we''ve done that, there''ll still be a great big burden to carry, I suppose?" |
30299 | But what can ten years have to do with it? |
30299 | But what do you think it will mean to your aunts next November?" |
30299 | But you do n''t call this being poor, do you, you silly boy?--with all this beautiful mahogany that I can use for a mirror? |
30299 | But''twas her turn, so she called you arter her Uncle Benjamin--""What''s become o''Uncle Benjamin?" |
30299 | Ca n''t you walk, hop, skip, jump, all you want to?" |
30299 | Can you imagine poor Bessy fitting into the picture?" |
30299 | Could I ever repay her? |
30299 | Dar ain''nuttin er de po''wite trash in de look er him, is dar?" |
30299 | Dearest, are you better? |
30299 | Did I take you to Miss Lessie Bell''s dancing class for nothing? |
30299 | Did he give it to you?" |
30299 | Did my past add a keener happiness to my present, or hang always like a threatening shadow above it? |
30299 | Did n''t know it was gouty, eh? |
30299 | Did she care? |
30299 | Did she discern this restlessness in me, I wondered, this ceaseless ache which resembled the ache of muscles that have been long unused? |
30299 | Did she dream that I knew her story? |
30299 | Did she feel? |
30299 | Did she have a spray in her hair when she bent over me? |
30299 | Did she mind the gossip? |
30299 | Did she think I should mind it? |
30299 | Did she think? |
30299 | Did you ever hear of a Virginia lady who was n''t content to be what the Lord and the men intended her?" |
30299 | Did you ever notice my miniature, framed in pearls, that she wore sometimes, in place of grandmama''s, at her throat?" |
30299 | Did you ever see a blue- eyed dog? |
30299 | Did you ever see such a profusion? |
30299 | Did you put on that gorgeous gown just for me?" |
30299 | Do you call her''Sally''? |
30299 | Do you coddle her? |
30299 | Do you ever think what ma would have been if she''d had an eddication? |
30299 | Do you go my way?" |
30299 | Do you have to run away from your father, too?" |
30299 | Do you imagine I''d get out of my bed at seven o''clock and cut up a slimy potato if it was n''t earnest? |
30299 | Do you know the meaning of n- u- i- s- a- n- c- e, boy?" |
30299 | Do you like it, Jessy?" |
30299 | Do you like mince pies, Ben?" |
30299 | Do you mean Miss Matoaca? |
30299 | Do you not realise the impossibility of-- of the connection you speak of?" |
30299 | Do you realise that we are living in the midst of a panic?" |
30299 | Do you remember?" |
30299 | Do you see that little house there, set back in the yard, with the chimney crumbling to pieces? |
30299 | Do you take me for your age, you minx?" |
30299 | Do you think if I had n''t had a cool head they''d have made me president of the South Midland? |
30299 | Do you think she''d be running round loose in this crackbrained way if she had a home she could stay in and a husband she could slave over? |
30299 | Do you want him to snatch a railroad out of my very mouth, madam?" |
30299 | Do you?" |
30299 | Does everybody''s name have to be in the Bible if they''re to be saved? |
30299 | Does he think so?" |
30299 | Does n''t Bessy look for all the world like a rose- bush uprooted by a whirlwind?" |
30299 | Had I lost her? |
30299 | Had she noticed how ill at ease I felt in my evening clothes? |
30299 | Had she noticed, I wondered, that the"magnificent animal"was losing his hold? |
30299 | Had she rather have a vote than the respect of men, an''ai n''t the respect of men enough to fill any honest female''s life?" |
30299 | Had the muscles of my will dwindled away and grown flabby, like the muscles of my body? |
30299 | Hard? |
30299 | Has she no supporter?" |
30299 | Has there been an accident?" |
30299 | Has there been another panic in the market?" |
30299 | Have n''t I just done so?" |
30299 | Have n''t I told you that I wa''nt?" |
30299 | Have stocks tripped him up again, poor fellow? |
30299 | Have you been lonely?" |
30299 | Have you cream enough?" |
30299 | Have you ever been damned an''what does it feel like?" |
30299 | Have you got a glass of iced water you can give Theophilus, Sally?" |
30299 | Have you seen any hats? |
30299 | He has had trouble with his hybridising or something, so he tells us-- what is it, doctor? |
30299 | He hobbles so badly, does n''t he? |
30299 | He is about your height, is he not?" |
30299 | He is one of the richest men in the West, is n''t he?" |
30299 | How about allelujah, how''s that for a mouthful?" |
30299 | How can I regret it when the money came so between us?" |
30299 | How can I separate his past from what he is to- day? |
30299 | How can I?" |
30299 | How can it concern you?" |
30299 | How can she help herself? |
30299 | How can we begin? |
30299 | How can we manage it?" |
30299 | How can you possibly do without me?" |
30299 | How could I have lived through the summer if she had left me? |
30299 | How could I help it?" |
30299 | How could they or she comprehend hunger, who had never gone without for a moment? |
30299 | How did she receive him?" |
30299 | How do we know whether or not we''ll meet any cooks in the jungle? |
30299 | How does she stand it?" |
30299 | How is she, Bonny? |
30299 | How is that miner brother of yours, Ben? |
30299 | How old are you?" |
30299 | How soon, Ben, do you suppose they will evict us?" |
30299 | How soon, Sally?" |
30299 | How tall are you?" |
30299 | How''s pa?" |
30299 | How''s that boy of yours? |
30299 | I asked myself passionately, could I ever forget? |
30299 | I asked, in sheer desperation;"flesh and blood, do you think?" |
30299 | I asked, striving to force a curiosity my wretchedness prevented me from feeling;"ca n''t you unfold the mystery?" |
30299 | I can work beside you, I can work for you-- oh, my dear, my dearest, I am your wife, do you still doubt me?" |
30299 | I echoed lightly;"do you call George good? |
30299 | I exclaimed,''why did n''t you tell that old baboon to stop hugging you and behave himself?'' |
30299 | I hate women, do n''t you?" |
30299 | I looked up quickly,"And was it the way_ he_ began?" |
30299 | I questioned angrily, and wherein lay the subtle distinction which divided my nature from George Bolingbroke''s and even from Sally''s? |
30299 | I replied, and turned squarely on her;"Sally, do you love me?" |
30299 | I say, is all your pirouetting to be done with stocks? |
30299 | I shall win in the end-- perhaps--""You will win what?" |
30299 | I wonder what she would be now if the General had been a man like you? |
30299 | I wondered if she meant to emancipate"ladies"merely, or if her principles could possibly overleap her birthright of caste? |
30299 | I''ll do double to- morrow,"he begged, and then turned to me with his pleasant, intimate manner:"Do n''t you hate Latin? |
30299 | If I blot my name out can I still go to heaven? |
30299 | If I did n''t have it, do you think I''d be able to laugh at a pine table?" |
30299 | If I make a fortune will that bring me any nearer to her? |
30299 | If Miss Matoaca had belonged to a rational sex, do you think she''d have killed herself trying to get on an equality with us? |
30299 | If it were killing me, do you think I could laugh? |
30299 | If you do, I wo n''t,"she said, and without waiting a minute,"What are you doing here? |
30299 | In seeking to give money had I, in reality, sacrificed the ability to give the things that she valued far more? |
30299 | Is family tradition, after all, as good a school as the hard world? |
30299 | Is he wanting to become a bank president already?" |
30299 | Is it possible that she could ever love me? |
30299 | Is it the bank or your private investments you''ve been worrying over?" |
30299 | Is it time now to dress for dinner?" |
30299 | Is n''t every wife and mother happy? |
30299 | Is n''t it time for you to get out of the city?" |
30299 | Is n''t my dress lovely?" |
30299 | Is n''t there some way of curbing him?" |
30299 | Is she going cracked? |
30299 | Is she out of bed yet?" |
30299 | Is thar any livin''soul, I ax you plainly, expected to see the cuteness in a thing like that except a mother? |
30299 | Is that why you''ve let me bully and badger you for the last six years?" |
30299 | Is there a spot on earth, I wonder, where in this age they worship another God?" |
30299 | Is there anything on God''s earth that you want? |
30299 | Is yo''name in the Bible? |
30299 | Is yo''wits done come back?" |
30299 | Is you got a pa?" |
30299 | Is your wife extravagant?" |
30299 | It amused me sometimes to wonder what was behind the brilliant red and white of her complexion-- what thoughts? |
30299 | It looks as if you''d got George for a hanger- on, eh?" |
30299 | It stands to reason-- don''t it?" |
30299 | It was the look of race, of the Bland breeding, of the tradition that questioned, not violently, but gently,"Can this be possible?" |
30299 | It will be better to put it like this"--"What did you say, dear?" |
30299 | It''s not a view, it''s a fact-- and what business has a lady got with a view anyway? |
30299 | It''s strange-- ain''t it?--how easily a man''s hand turns against a woman once he''s gone out of his head?" |
30299 | Marry her off?" |
30299 | Marse Ben, ai n''t un''oman erbleeged ter teck her time off de same ez a man?" |
30299 | Meanwhile, is n''t there something that I can do for you? |
30299 | Miss Mitty? |
30299 | My first fortune had been made in copper,--why not repeat it? |
30299 | Never saw her in a rose- lined bonnet, did you, my dear?" |
30299 | Now you never saw me lose my head, did you, eh, Ben?" |
30299 | Now, Ben, tell me honestly which is the worse sinner, you or I?" |
30299 | Now, did you ever hear of a man getting his heart broken or his brain cracked?" |
30299 | Now, what do you suppose Miss Matoaca said to me on Sunday? |
30299 | Of course, of course, but when? |
30299 | Oh, Ben, do n''t you like it?" |
30299 | Oh, Ben, my dearest, what is the matter?" |
30299 | Or for that tiny scar like a dimple I''ve always adored?" |
30299 | Or sympathise with the lust of battle when they had never encountered an obstacle? |
30299 | Respect Miss Matoaca Bland? |
30299 | Sally Mickleborough? |
30299 | Sally, what is the trouble?" |
30299 | Sally?" |
30299 | Shall I get you a glass of wine?" |
30299 | Shall I go away again?" |
30299 | Shall I take them away?" |
30299 | She appeared so still, so patient, that I wondered in amazement if she had sat there for hours, unchanged, unheeding, unapproachable? |
30299 | She refused George, you know?" |
30299 | She''s a good girl, and I like her, but who in the deuce wants to marry a fighting wife? |
30299 | She''s very cruel is grandmama, is n''t she, mammy?" |
30299 | She''s well, ai n''t she?" |
30299 | She? |
30299 | Shorn of my power, what remained to me that would make me his match? |
30299 | Shot a man the first year he came back from France, did n''t he?" |
30299 | So she called you common?" |
30299 | So your lecture was n''t quite a success?" |
30299 | Starr?" |
30299 | Surely you got help?" |
30299 | Tell her I must, and yet how could I tell her while the little cynical bloodshot eyes of the great man were upon us? |
30299 | That old rocking- horse? |
30299 | That will be in time?" |
30299 | That''s a kind of starter, anyway, ai n''t it?" |
30299 | The president of the Great South Midland and Atlantic Railroad is obliged to be a rich man, is n''t he?" |
30299 | Then as I made no rejoinder, he added after a moment,"Do you think her mouth spoils her? |
30299 | Then when I met you again it might have been just the way you look-- for oh, Ben, did you ever discover that you are splendid to look at?" |
30299 | Then without meeting my eyes he asked in a voice that had a curiously muffled sound:--"It''s rough on Sally, is n''t it? |
30299 | Then,"I''ve been ill,"I thought, and"Sally? |
30299 | Then,"Is that you, Ben?" |
30299 | Thomas, have you buttered that batch of muffins?" |
30299 | To how many of us, after all, was it given to discern, not only immediate effects, but universal relations as well? |
30299 | To myself? |
30299 | To the General? |
30299 | To you, Sally?" |
30299 | Until you have seen a man fight can you know him? |
30299 | Wall, wall, time does fly when you come to think of deaths, now, does n''t it? |
30299 | Was I, for her also, merely a magnificent animal? |
30299 | Was it God or the angels? |
30299 | Was it possible to picture her in a common gown, with her sleeves rolled up and the perplexed and anxious look that poverty brings in her eyes? |
30299 | Was it possible to win her again? |
30299 | Was it the same place I had left only a few hours before, or what sudden change in myself had revealed to me the grim ugliness of its aspect? |
30299 | Was my brain weakened permanently by the fever, I wondered? |
30299 | Was she Bessy Randolph?" |
30299 | Was she a gallant martyr to the inequalities of sex, who still clung, trembling, to the inequalities of society? |
30299 | Was she merely kind to the boor in her house? |
30299 | Was the final triumph of intellect due, in reality, to the accident of an unhappy love? |
30299 | Was the trouble associated with George Bolingbroke? |
30299 | Wat''s yo''name, suh?" |
30299 | We''ll begin to be gay now, sha n''t we? |
30299 | Well, confound you, boy, how did it ever occur to you to ask her?" |
30299 | Well, you''re ready, Sally? |
30299 | Were the ghosts moving up and down the terraces in the mazes of scented box, I wondered? |
30299 | Were the ghosts of the dead Blands and Fairfaxes from whom she had sprung fighting over again their ancient battles in their descendant? |
30299 | Were you far enough South, my dear, to see the yellow jessamine grow wild? |
30299 | What can I do for you?" |
30299 | What can she have, I ax, any mo''than she''s got? |
30299 | What did she think of my boorishness? |
30299 | What did we see except the possible opportunity, the room for the ego, the adjustment to selfish ends? |
30299 | What did you do?" |
30299 | What do I care for a dead arm that fought for a dead king? |
30299 | What do you care about little girls? |
30299 | What do you know of the coal fields at Wyanoke?" |
30299 | What do you say to Europe?" |
30299 | What do you say, Sally?" |
30299 | What do you think I found on my desk this morning? |
30299 | What do you think Theophilus is arguing about now? |
30299 | What do you want of me?" |
30299 | What does a woman want with rights, I say, when she can enjoy all the virtues? |
30299 | What does it mean when anybody calls you common?" |
30299 | What does she want to be standin''up for anyway as long as she can set?" |
30299 | What has become of the established order if such a thing as this can happen to two unprotected Virginia ladies?" |
30299 | What have slaves got to do with it? |
30299 | What have you been doing all day long by yourself?" |
30299 | What in the world put that into your head?" |
30299 | What is it like?" |
30299 | What is it? |
30299 | What is it?" |
30299 | What is the matter?" |
30299 | What is yours? |
30299 | What more does she want unless she''s a Yankee Abolitionist?" |
30299 | What on earth has gone an''set that idee workin''inside yo''head?" |
30299 | What on earth would you do with a paper?" |
30299 | What right has he got, I asked, to suppose that any gentleman''s toe is n''t gouty?" |
30299 | What rights does a woman want, anyway, I''d like to know, except the right to a husband? |
30299 | What trouble? |
30299 | What trouble?" |
30299 | What was her praise of George except the confession of an appreciation of the very things that I could never possess? |
30299 | What was the railroad to me, if I had lost Sally? |
30299 | What was the secret of that exquisite patience, that perfect courtesy, which was confirmed by the heart, not by the lips? |
30299 | What was this social barrier-- this aristocratic standard that could accept the General and reject such men as I? |
30299 | What will you do, Ben?" |
30299 | What''ll you do with him?" |
30299 | What''s luck, after all, but the thing that enables a man to see a long way ahead?" |
30299 | What''s that coming they''re making such a noise about? |
30299 | What''s that? |
30299 | What''s the matter?" |
30299 | What''s the world coming to, I ask, when a maiden lady is n''t ashamed to know that a man leads an impure life?" |
30299 | What''s your name, boy?" |
30299 | Whatever it was, why did n''t she come to me and weep it out on my breast? |
30299 | When did you begin?" |
30299 | When do you think you''ll be home?" |
30299 | Where are you rushing? |
30299 | Where are your wits?" |
30299 | Where did she come from?" |
30299 | Where was the roguish humour now in the small watery grey eyes? |
30299 | Where?" |
30299 | Who else have I ever known that could compare with him for a minute? |
30299 | Who put them in there? |
30299 | Who was she, George? |
30299 | Who''s your man?" |
30299 | Whom did you go to?" |
30299 | Whose are those you are wearing?" |
30299 | Why are you so cruel?" |
30299 | Why ca n''t I keep her out of my thoughts?" |
30299 | Why did she wear a gingham apron at a ball instead of pink tarlatan? |
30299 | Why do n''t you come upstairs?" |
30299 | Why does n''t everybody love, I wonder?" |
30299 | Why does n''t she go back to them?" |
30299 | Why not ask Bessy Dandridge?" |
30299 | Why not cut the whole thing and go West with me to- morrow in my car? |
30299 | Why not to- morrow instead? |
30299 | Why on earth did n''t you come to me sooner about it?" |
30299 | Why should George have been given this trifle, which was associated with Sally, and which I had never seen? |
30299 | Why was it that I who had won Sally should still remain so hopelessly divided from all that to which Sally by right and by nature belonged? |
30299 | Why was it? |
30299 | Why, do n''t you know every blessed word in the English language that begins with an_ a_? |
30299 | Will he break his wings or will he fly out?" |
30299 | Will you dance to- night? |
30299 | Will you take me there this afternoon?" |
30299 | Will you tell me what business it is of an unmarried lady''s whether a man leads an impure life or not? |
30299 | Would I fail forever in little things because I had been cursed at birth by an inability to see any except big ones? |
30299 | Would Miss Mitty''s or Miss Matoaca''s verdict, I wondered, have been as merciful, as large as hers? |
30299 | Would n''t you rather keep it in bank as a nest- egg?" |
30299 | Would the power in me that had captured her serve as well through a future of familiar possession as it had served in the supreme moment of conquest? |
30299 | Would the thought of the boy I had been haunt forever the man I had become? |
30299 | Would you like a string of pearls?" |
30299 | Would you rather I should n''t keep them?" |
30299 | Yo''ma was a decent, sober, hard- workin''person, wa''nt she, Benjy?" |
30299 | You are n''t going to stand up in the middle of the room all night, old fellow, are you?" |
30299 | You can even eat a strawberry without feeling it, I reckon?" |
30299 | You did n''t see much of yo''pa durin''his last days, did you?" |
30299 | You know Jessoms-- don''t you? |
30299 | You may, who knows?" |
30299 | You mean the half- drowned brat I wrapped up in yo''grandma''s old blanket shawl I set the muffin dough under? |
30299 | You never saw Miss Matoaca Bland when she was a girl, Ben?" |
30299 | You remember what Horace says--""Ah, I know, doctor, but did even Horace remember what he said while he was young?" |
30299 | You remember your Plutarch? |
30299 | You think it play now, but what will you feel when you know it''s earnest?" |
30299 | You wanted me to marry George Bolingbroke, but what has he ever done to prove what he was worth?" |
30299 | You wo n''t let her suffer because you''re too proud to take help?" |
30299 | You''ll be wanting to push me out of my job next, I suppose?" |
30299 | You''ll like that, wo n''t you?" |
30299 | and how are we going to change?" |
30299 | and were you put through the steps of the Highland Fling in vain?" |
30299 | and what may your name be?" |
30299 | demanded the negress in exasperation, rising from her seat on the curbing,"en wat mek you keep on axin''over wat I done tole you?" |
30299 | eh? |
30299 | enquired the poultryman, with a loud guffaw,"when you send her a new one of yo''own providin''?" |
30299 | have you been married to a Bland for nearly eight years and are you still saying,''let her''?" |
30299 | he exclaimed, in a burst of temper,"do you mean to tell me you do n''t know that George''s blamed foolishness is the talk of the town? |
30299 | honey, is you got on swaddlin''close er a windin''sheet?" |
30299 | or had there been a deeper meaning in her divine smile-- in her suddenly lifted eyes? |
30299 | repeated the woman, with a hiccough,"what''s home?" |
30299 | she asked, facing the lamp as I turned;"did you mind my keeping the idea a secret? |
30299 | she asked,"and will you remember to buy seed for my canary?" |
30299 | she asked,"or would you rather dance? |
30299 | she enquired,"or have you taken other lessons from the General besides those in speculations?" |
30299 | she exclaimed, quickening her steps,"what are you doing out here in this terrible heat?" |
30299 | she had said, and had the thrill in her voice, the tremor of her bosom under its fall of lace, meant that her heart was touched? |
30299 | wat you wanter bus''me open fur, boy? |
30299 | what desires? |
30299 | what impulses? |
