21321It is a pity----She stopped, and her son asked:"What is a pity, mother?"
21321It is a question of veracity between you and me, and are you prepared to say that you alone tell the truth?
21321It was true,he said,"that Sherman was before Atlanta, but what matter if he took it?
21321It''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?"

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

30299honey, is you got on swaddlin''close er a windin''sheet?"
30299or had there been a deeper meaning in her divine smile-- in her suddenly lifted eyes?
30299repeated the woman, with a hiccough,"what''s home?"
30299she asked, facing the lamp as I turned;"did you mind my keeping the idea a secret?
30299she asked,"and will you remember to buy seed for my canary?"
30299she asked,"or would you rather dance?
30299she enquired,"or have you taken other lessons from the General besides those in speculations?"
30299she exclaimed, quickening her steps,"what are you doing out here in this terrible heat?"
30299she 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?
