27856Because he loves you?
27856But how did you manage to capture Tony? 27856 But surely you do n''t mean that you pressed him to come, knowing he would go on making love to me?"
27856But what is the idea of it all?
27856But-- but are n''t you wounded?
27856Congratulations? 27856 Consort?
27856Darling, why should you fear love now?
27856Dead?
27856Dear lady, since the King of the Gypsies predicted I should get my heart''s desire, surely it would be almost heresy to doubt?
27856Dear, darling, delicious, delectable lady, why should I apologise for taking up your challenge and redeeming my promise?

27856Do n''t you find it rather difficult to be melodramatic and to talk farcical nonsense before breakfast, Don Carlos?

27856Does the Señora Cojuelo wish to say farewell to the lover who renounced her?
27856Does this proposal appeal to Miss Rostrevor?
27856Don Carlos, is it useless to appeal to you to let me go?
27856El Diablo Cojuelo, the outlaw, is merely a creature of your own imagination?
27856Frightful crush, is n''t it?
27856Had n''t you better have some tea, señor?
27856Hallo, people, what are you looking so solemn about?
27856Has he said so?
27856Have you offended Don Carlos in some way, Myra?
27856Have you only been pretending?
27856He is a chivalrous gentleman, and I know he will lie if necessary, to save your honour.... Why do you sneer, child? 27856 How are you, old fellow?
27856How can a mere man hope to read what is in the heart of a woman?
27856How could he?
27856How dare you make love to Miss Rostrevor?
27856How do you know but what I may adopt cave- man tactics after we are married, and attempt to beat you into submission?
27856How do you know that he loves me?
27856How have I offended, señorita? 27856 How much do you want?"
27856I begin to suspect him of being Irish instead of Spanish-- for how can one grow old with perpetual youth, I ask you? 27856 I did n''t expect this sort of thing-- what?"
27856I expect you have been saying something of the same sort to my aunt?
27856I hope you will now proceed to rescue me from the slough of despond by telling me that you love me and will marry me?
27856I mean to say-- er-- what exactly did Don Carlos tell you?
27856I say, Don Carlos, are you suggesting that Myra complained for that reason-- because she thinks I''m not keen enough?
27856I say, Myra, dear, are n''t you going to offer me a cup of tea? 27856 I say, Myra, do you mean that, or are you being sarcastic?"
27856I say, Myra, you''re not pulling my leg again, are you?
27856I say, Myra, you''re ragging, are n''t you?
27856I shall have the pleasure of the next dance with you, Miss Rostrevor?
27856I wonder if he really has a heart, or if he is acting all the time?
27856I wonder what I should do?
27856I wonder what manner of man El Diablo Cojuelo is?
27856I wonder what particular and peculiar kink in my mental outfit made me enjoy kisses in my dreams which I hated while I was awake? 27856 I wonder what wise Aunt Clarissa would advise?"
27856I wonder where the maid is who speaks English?
27856I''ll kill myself rather than confess I love him, and let him gloat over his conquest.... What should I do? 27856 If, as you say, I torture you so horribly, perhaps you would prefer me to avoid you?"
27856In what sense is it used? 27856 Is he all right, doctor?"
27856Is he ashamed or afraid?
27856Is he fooling me again?
27856Is it not true that you were willing to escape with him, or by his aid, and leave the señorita?
27856Is it true, by the way, that there is a daring brigand lurking about in the mountains around here?
27856Is it true?
27856Is it useless to appeal to you again to surrender to the call of love?
27856Is it useless to appeal to your better nature, to your chivalry?
27856Is n''t there an old saying that love laughs at locksmiths?
27856Is that so?
27856Is the most beautiful, adorable, and wholly desirable girl in the world going to be one of the party?
27856Is there, then, some resemblance between Don Carlos and the brigand Cojuelo?
27856Is this another trick to humiliate me and make it appear I have surrendered?
27856Just as well, perhaps, what? 27856 Look, is it not a picturesque scene?"
27856May I call on you to- morrow to convince you of that fact?
27856May I have the pleasure and honour of dancing the next with you, Miss Rostrevor?
27856May I take it, señors, that you are satisfied?
27856Must I take still stronger measures to induce you to surrender yourself voluntarily? 27856 My dear Mr. Standish, what can I say for myself?"
27856My dear Myra, what on earth are you talking about?
27856My dear, do you realise that you have brought this on yourself?
27856Myra, beloved, have my kisses fired your heart?
27856Myra, darling, have I found the magic to make your heart respond to the call of love?
27856Myra, darling, why do you persist in resisting me and refusing to listen to the call of love?
27856Myra, do n''t you think you have resisted me and the call of your heart long enough?
27856Myra, why are you torturing and tantalising me in this fashion?
27856Not feeling sea- sick, are you, what?
27856Not going to Spain?
27856Oh, I quite realise you are in a position to dictate terms at present, if that''s what you are getting at?
27856Oh, Myra, do n''t you realise in what a terrible position you have placed yourself? 27856 Or have you to pause every now and again to invent a story?"
27856Quoting Henley, are n''t you, Don Carlos, and trying the effect of pathos by way of a change?
27856Say, sir, do you happen to know who that young lady is?
27856Several?
27856Shall I call for a steward?
27856So some of Don Carlos''s servants are in your pay?
27856So the whole affair, I take it, is an elaborate practical joke?
27856So you assert that Don Carlos lied?
27856So you will prove the fact by keeping your promise to come to Spain as my guest?
27856So, if I understand you aright, you are a sort of benevolent brigand, doing good without much risk or expense to yourself?
27856Strange, is it not, Señor Standish?
27856Sure you''re not vexed with me, dear?
27856Sure, and is it frightened you are of the conceited Spaniard?
27856Surely I have suffered enough without-- without-- this----?
27856Surely even in the wilds of Spain it is considered dishonourable to attempt to make love to a girl who is betrothed to another man? 27856 Sweet lady, are you not afraid you may fall in love with your captor?"
27856Sweet señorita, what man with a heart and eyesight could resist falling in love with so beautiful a woman?
27856Tell them she is aware she is affronting them and----"How dare you suggest I am a coward?
27856That was rather the equivalent of unfastening the bolt of the rail, was it not, Myra?
27856The señorita would like a bath?
27856Tony, what makes you talk of losing me?
27856True? 27856 Well, how much will you take to set Miss Rostrevor at liberty?"
27856Well, what have you to say for yourself?
27856Well? 27856 What about attacking the breakfast with savage fury?
27856What am I scared about? 27856 What are the handcuffs for?"
27856What are you blathering about?
27856What could I do in the circumstances? 27856 What did he mean by telling me to listen for my lover at midnight?"
27856What does that matter to me?
27856What else does it mean, Myra?
27856What has happened to him?
27856What has upset you, darling? 27856 What is he?
27856What madness possessed you to offer to marry the brigand?
27856What on earth is a fellow to do in these circumstances? 27856 What sort of girl does he take me for?
27856What will it profit me if I denounce him?
27856What''s the idea, anyhow? 27856 What''s the idea, anyhow?
27856What''s up? 27856 What, or who, has made you suddenly feel''fed up with everything,''as you put it?"
27856Where are you wounded, Don Carlos? 27856 Where is Tony, and how did you manage to capture him?
27856Who is he, Jimmy?
27856Who knows but what I may make the opportunity, Myra, and take you in spite of yourself?
27856Who suggested that?
27856Why are his eyes bandaged?
27856Why blame or reproach me, Myra darling?
27856Why ca n''t you love in the right way? 27856 Why did I lie to save him?"
27856Why do you want to fight me?
27856Why have you brought Miss Rostrevor here?
27856Why have you given me such lots of presents lately, you extravagant old thing?
27856Why not get down to business without all this palaver? 27856 Why not reverse the usual procedure, marry me first and fall in love with me after?"
27856Why not try?
27856Why profess to be offended with the man who loves you so passionately for taking a few of the kisses for which he was craving and hungering? 27856 Why should I take the risk of having to surrender Miss Rostrevor to you?
27856Why take the risk, Myra? 27856 Why the deuce did n''t you tell us this before, Don Carlos?"
27856Why the deuce do n''t you state your terms and have done with it?
27856Why waste your breath, sweet lady?
27856Why, I wonder, do you persist in doubting me?
27856Why, you dear, conceited man, do n''t you understand it is only because you pledged your word not to make love to me that I am being nice to you?
27856Why?
27856Will you be at home if I call round in an hour or so?
27856Worried because you think I may be in love with Don Carlos?
27856Would you care to dance after dinner, or merely to listen to a wireless programme?
27856Would you sacrifice yourself to save Standish if he were willing to accept your sacrifice?
27856You are frightened, señorita?
27856You are prepared to renounce me, Tony?
27856You did not tell him you would accept your freedom and leave the señorita to me if I refrained from flogging you and branding you? 27856 You do n''t mean to tell me he actually said something to that effect to you?"
27856You do n''t mean to tell me seriously, Don Carlos, that you have any faith in the predictions of a gipsy?
27856You do n''t really suppose that Don Carlos is heart- broken, do you, Aunt?
27856You hear, señorita?
27856You mean El Diablo Cojuelo, señorita?
27856You mean that he----?
27856You mean that you no longer hold me to my promise, Myra?
27856You think he will be mad because I have robbed him of his heart''s desire?
27856You-- er-- you do n''t actually mean to say that Don Carlos has been making love to you in earnest? 27856 Your promise?"
27856... Do n''t you realise that everything depends on Don Carlos, and how you behave towards Tony?"
27856A Lord, or Duke, or something of the sort?"
27856A film star?"
27856Am I right?"
27856And who would guess that the fair señorita had been spirited away in one of Don Carlos''s own cars?"
27856Are they not quickly told and quickly gone?
27856Are you a magician as well as a brigand?"
27856Are you satisfied now?
27856But I''ll bet she''s not short of admirers, and lots of fellers''d jump at the chance of marrying her, and risk her kicking over the traces?"
27856But do n''t you think Don Carlos may regard your indifference to his rivalry as being almost in the nature of a challenge?"
27856Can Women Forget?
27856Can you offer us any assistance in locating his lair in the mountains?"
27856Can you truthfully say that you still love him and would marry him if you were free?"
27856Consort?
27856Did Don Carlos help?"
27856Did I not tell you all the servants of El Castillo de Ruiz were in my pay?
27856Did n''t he make a fight of it?"
27856Did n''t you understand I was paying you back in your own coin at Auchinleven by pretending to be in love?
27856Did you ever hear anything more absurd?"
27856Do I make myself plain?"
27856Do I understand I am forgiven?"
27856Do you believe in love at first sight?"
27856Do you know what I have decided to do, aunt?
27856Do you look so much like a devil that you are afraid to show your face?"
27856Do you mean to tell me Tony agreed?"
27856Do you not feel, Myra mia, that here in your lover''s arms and on my breast you have found the home of your heart?"
27856Do you understand?
27856Does he want to make himself out to be a hero simply to flatter still further his own vanity, or is he trying to frighten me?"
27856Does the prospect of surrendering yourself to me so dismay your heart?"
27856Entender?"
27856Give me a drink, will you?"
27856Had n''t I better ring for your maid, dear?"
27856Has absence made your heart grow fonder, my heart''s desire?"
27856Have you anything to say to Señor Standish?"
27856Have you made up your mind what to do?"
27856Have you no regrets, Myra?"
27856Have you shot him, Carlos?"
27856How can you expect me to believe you are really in love with me, Carlos, when I see you constantly making love to other women?"
27856How dare you make love to my fiancée?"
27856How did you escape, by the way?
27856How do you deal with such a situation in England?
27856How else could I have made love to the Señorita Rostrevor?"
27856How have these bally ruffians been treating you?"
27856How many mistresses have there been-- and what is going to happen to me?
27856How much do you want?
27856How shall we deal with the matter?"
27856I confess I tried to make you feel jealous, and I trust I succeeded?"
27856I say, old chap, ca n''t you suggest some way out of the difficulty?"
27856I spik the Ingles all right-- yes?
27856I suppose I may smoke as Lady Fermanagh is n''t here?"
27856I suppose making love has become a sort of second nature, and you do not know you are breaking your promise?"
27856I wonder how many murders have been committed in Spain as a result of girls inducing men to make fools of themselves?"
27856I wonder if he is really in love with me?
27856I wonder if he touched me or kissed me?
27856I wonder if they could hear me if I called?"
27856I wonder if they have seen me?
27856I wonder what upset her?"
27856If I had denounced you as El Diablo Cojuelo, what would have happened?"
27856Incidentally, are you not still attempting to make love indirectly?
27856Incidentally, do you wear your disguise all the time, even when you are safe here in your mountain lair?
27856Incidentally, señorita, may I venture to point out that you have been addressing me as''Don Carlos,''instead of as''Señor de Ruiz''?
27856Incidentally, we have another proverb,''_ En casa del moro no hables algaravia._''Can your ladyship translate that?"
27856Is it a bargain?"
27856Is that so, señorita?"
27856Is there no one aware of your identity?"
27856It is n''t true, is it, that you agreed to go away with Don Carlos and leave me here?"
27856Look here, Cojuelo, what''s the use of all this bluff and bluster?
27856Myra, are you keeping something back from me?"
27856Myra, you wo n''t give me away and show me up?
27856Oh, surely you wo n''t be so cruel as to take further advantage of my helplessness?"
27856Oh, why are you so stupid?
27856On what, pray?"
27856Rude, did I say?
27856Say for non- payment that the debt should double; Is twenty hundred kisses such a trouble?
27856Shall I ask the captain to order two of the crew to play the part of Scotland Yard detectives, shadow your every movement and keep guard over Tony?
27856Shall I call for Mother Dolores?"
27856Shall I see him now or wait till morning?"
27856Shall I tell your Mr. Standish that I fell in love with you the first moment I saw you, and that I mean to take you from him by hook or by crook?"
27856She looked round and upwards, but at first could see no one, then she heard the shout again, heard the voice of Don Carlos cry:"Myra, where are you?"
27856Should I promise to marry him on condition that he takes me back to- day, and then denounce him to the authorities when we reach the Castle?
27856Should I warn him, tell him of Don Carlos''s threat?"
27856So Don Carlos is back?"
27856So you have missed me, darling, and now your heart is throbbing because I have come back to you?
27856Standish?"
27856Surely I have nothing to fear from a man who takes such trouble to ensure that I shall be comfortable?
27856Surely one is not committing a crime by calling the girl one loves by her Christian name?
27856Surely this is a great adventure?"
27856Surely you must have seen for yourself that Don Carlos has been making love to me on every possible occasion for weeks?
27856Tell me, are all the rooms like this?"
27856Thought I''d blow in on the chance of finding you at home this beastly afternoon and cadge a cup of tea.... Where did you spring from, Don Carlos?
27856Vos comprender?
27856Was it he, by any chance, who upset you, Myra?"
27856Were n''t ye, Tiger?"
27856What are ten hundred touches unto thee?
27856What are we going to do in the circumstances?"
27856What can I do, Aunt?"
27856What can I do?
27856What can I do?"
27856What did he mean by saying Don Carlos might ransom me when Cojuelo had tired of me?"
27856What do you mean?"
27856What do you say?"
27856What does Mr. Antony Standish do?"
27856What greater humiliation could you inflict on any woman than to prove to her that the man who professed to love her would surrender her to a bandit?
27856What is it your great Shakespeare wrote that fits our case?
27856What on earth has upset you, darling?
27856What promise?"
27856What the deuce do you mean by it, sir?
27856What''s happened?
27856What''s the idea now?"
27856What''s the matter, old thing?"
27856When did you get back?
27856Who is she?
27856Who''s this fellow?"
27856Why did n''t he half- kill the conceited Spaniard for daring to make love to me?
27856Why do n''t you come down to brass tacks and state your terms?"
27856Why do n''t you kiss and kiss me against my will?"
27856Why do n''t you make love to me and force me to kiss you?
27856Why not get down to business instead of spouting a lot of balderdash?"
27856Why not suggest to him, Myra, that he can best show his gratitude by surrendering to me his greatest pride and treasure-- you?"
27856Why should there be one law for the man and another for the woman?
27856Why, he could easily have let Tony drown?"
27856Will you have some tea?"
27856Will you meet Don Carlos face to face and denounce him as a liar?"
27856Will you swear that on oath-- on your sacred word of honour as an English gentleman?"
27856Wo n''t you have a cigarette?"
27856Would he profess to be heart- broken, or continue to make passionate love to her at every opportunity?
27856Would you care to repeat to Mr. Standish, to whom I am engaged to be married, what you have just said?"
27856Would you?"
27856You did n''t really want me to display jealousy, did you?"
27856You do n''t really expect me to take you seriously, do you?"
27856You see what I mean, Myra?"
27856You wo n''t throw me over and make me look and feel an ass, will you, if you should happen to meet someone you think you like better than me?
27856You-- you do n''t mean actually married?"
27856why do you torture me so?
61925Where would you be without my army?
61925Where would you be without my money?
61925''A flirt?''
61925''A little, I think,''said Julian,''will you go?''
61925''A woman?''
61925''Ah, do n''t you see, Julian, when I am sincere?''
61925''Ah?
61925''Am I?
61925''And that is all you consider?''
61925''And then?''
61925''And what am I?''
61925''And what if she does?''
61925''And what will he do if you throw him over?''
61925''And why is that surprising?
61925''And why?''
61925''And you demand of me?''
61925''And you tried to kill me with a dagger; do you remember?''
61925''And you will remember my hint about the Davenants?''
61925''Any news?
61925''Are we all crazy?''
61925''Are you laughing at me?
61925''Are you tired of me already?''
61925''Asleep?
61925''At what time is the procession due?''
61925''At your dressing- table?''
61925''Away from Aphros?''
61925''Because I am sure she is the type of woman he would marry, stately and correct; am I not right?''
61925''But of course,''said Julian quickly,''you do n''t allow Malteios to suspect this?''
61925''But why apologise?''
61925''But why remain thus, as it were, at bay?''
61925''But why should she hamper me, Anastasia?
61925''But you will return, Kyrie?''
61925''But, Julian, what could I do?''
61925''But, dearie, what''ll your mother thay?''
61925''But-- marry, Julian?''
61925''Can I go up to Eve''s room, Nannie?''
61925''Can you never forget yourself?
61925''Championship?
61925''Coastal steamers, fort tugs, old chirkets from the Bosphorus-- who was the admiral, I wonder?''
61925''Come with the gipsy?''
61925''Come, Eve, why are we quarrelling?
61925''Could I stop you if I tried?''
61925''Darling, to please me?''
61925''Dead?
61925''Did you tell Kato?''
61925''Do I deserve that you should say that to me?
61925''Do I regret the course I chose?
61925''Do you approve of her very intimate friendship with that singer, Madame Kato?''
61925''Do you expect me to say that you are pretty?''
61925''Do you imagine that we have nothing to do,''Don Rodrigo Valdez said to him,''that you set out to enliven the affairs of Herakleion?''
61925''Do you think,''she asked,''that you will be believed?''
61925''Do you want to stop me from going?''
61925''Does one come, ever, to a clear conception of one''s ultimate ambitions?
61925''Does she usually behave like this, Nana?''
61925''For the Islands, and may I not say,''said Kato, spreading her hands with a musical clinking of all her bangles,''for ourselves also?
61925''For the Islands?''
61925''For_ maman_ Lafarge?
61925''Fru Thyregod again?''
61925''Fru Thyregod?''
61925''Glad I''ve come back, Nannie?''
61925''Has he still not arrived?''
61925''Have I?''
61925''Have they really taken you in?
61925''Have you a theory, Alexander?''
61925''Have you tormented me long enough?''
61925''He is completely covered over?''
61925''He told you he loved you?''
61925''Herakleion?''
61925''His grandfather?
61925''How can I tell what I have been saying to you?
61925''How dare you accuse me?''
61925''I expect you have seen a great deal; forgotten all about Paul?
61925''I have had enough of these topics,''he said,''will you leave them?''
61925''I have never seen that man before; who is he?''
61925''I knew you were hostile, how could I fail to know it?
61925''I should lose caste in your eyes?''
61925''I suppose they are really treated with unfairness?''
61925''I told you I had no strength of character,''she said with bitterness,''what are my gifts, such as they are, to me?
61925''I wonder how much you promised Zapantiotis?''
61925''I''ve called you changeling sometimes, have n''t I?''
61925''If I am mad, you are unutterably cruel,''she said, twisting her fingers together;''will you answer me, yes or no?
61925''If it were?''
61925''If you could find a woman who was a help and not a hindrance?''
61925''In the meantime, go back to Fru Thyregod; why trouble to lie to me?
61925''In the water?''
61925''Including me?''
61925''Is anything wrong?''
61925''Is life to be one long carnival?''
61925''Is n''t that too much to hope?''
61925''Is that a threat?''
61925''Is that all you were going to say?''
61925''Is that all?''
61925''Is that indeed so?
61925''Is that so, Eve?
61925''It is true that we have talked of them by the hour,''she answered,''have we talked of them so much that they and I are entirely identified?
61925''It is true, then?''
61925''It means revolt at last; you will not desert us, Kyrie?''
61925''It was a crafty thought, was it not?
61925''Julian, have I not been consistent, all my life?
61925''Julian,''she said,''I rarely boast, as you know, but I am wondering now how many people in Herakleion would abandon their dearest ideals for me?
61925''Julian?''
61925''Kato may return to Herakleion with you?''
61925''Keep away from Herakleion?''
61925''Kyrie,''said Tsigaridis,''should we not move into shelter?''
61925''Lotus- land, then?''
61925''Marry?''
61925''May an old man,''he said with his deliberate but nevertheless charming suavity,''intrude for a moment upon the young?''
61925''My little Julian, have you washed the lap- dog to- day?
61925''My young friend,''he said,''they tell me you are leaving Herakleion?
61925''No?
61925''Nobody that I loved,''she replied without hesitation,''but, Julian, Julian, you do n''t answer my question?''
61925''Not for the world, but why keep me in suspense?
61925''Oh, Julian, what is it?
61925''Oh, but you?
61925''Oh,''she said, carried away by her interest,''is that Julian Davenant?
61925''Only a toy?''
61925''Our losses?''
61925''Shall I make Julie sing?''
61925''Shall we be allowed to go free?''
61925''She is unhappy?''
61925''Since when?''
61925''Steal you?
61925''Surely even you must find it too hot for battle?''
61925''Tell me, Eve, how do you explain your difference?
61925''The men are all at their posts?''
61925''The mice can not run over his face?''
61925''The only occasion, I think, Julian, when I ever boasted to you of such a thing?
61925''Then why had Fru Thyregod her hair down her back?
61925''There was indeed,''he replied;''do you remember an absurd tiny republic named Herakleion, which has since been absorbed by Greece?''
61925''This can never be; have you bewitched me?
61925''To Aphros?''
61925''To me?''
61925''Tsantilas, listen: can you distribute two orders for me by nightfall?
61925''Was that fair?''
61925''Well, Julian?''
61925''Well, Nicolas?''
61925''Well, your verdict?''
61925''Were you calling Mith Eve, Mathter Julian?
61925''What about him?''
61925''What am I to do?
61925''What answer shall you send?''
61925''What are these stories I hear of you, young man?
61925''What do you know?
61925''What do you mean?''
61925''What do you want done with your clothes?
61925''What else is there to consider?''
61925''What is it you want of me?''
61925''What is it, Eve?''
61925''What is it?''
61925''What is there to say?''
61925''What must I do?''
61925''What qualities have you?
61925''What secrets have you with Kato, that you must keep from me?''
61925''What will the islanders think?''
61925''What,''thought Julian,''does this old scapegrace politician, who must have his mind and his days full of the coming elections, want with Eve?
61925''Where are you taking me, Julian?''
61925''Where did that come from?''
61925''Where is my father?''
61925''Where is the Eve of Herakleion?
61925''Where shall I put you down?''
61925''Which is the larger?''
61925''Which of you made this discovery?''
61925''Who is he?''
61925''Why did n''t you trust yourself to me, Julian, my beloved?''
61925''Why do I always talk about myself to you?''
61925''Why do n''t you steal me, Julian?''
61925''Why do we, every one of us, refute the experience of others, preferring to gain our own?
61925''Why do you stand over there, Julian?''
61925''Why does he come?''
61925''Why have you changed?''
61925''Why must she be his wife?''
61925''Why not?
61925''Why not?
61925''Why not?''
61925''Why should he want to marry you?''
61925''Why, I have been there in a yacht, I believe; a little Greek port; but I did n''t know it had ever been an independent republic?''
61925''Why, how do you think of me now?''
61925''Why, then, withhold Julian from the Islands?''
61925''Why?
61925''Why?
61925''Will there be fighting?''
61925''Will you go out to Eve in the garden, father?
61925''Will you not come with Eve to my concert on Wednesday?
61925''Would he remain in shelter for long?''
61925''Would she leave Aphros?
61925''Would you do as much for me?
61925''Would you marry me if I wanted you to?''
61925''You are going away?''
61925''You are going to marry him?''
61925''You are not interested, Eve?''
61925''You are not musical, are you, Julian?
61925''You have never got over that, have you?''
61925''You know, I suppose,''she said to him,''that Madame Kato is a friend of Eve''s?
61925''You know?''
61925''You odd little thing,''he said,''why the adjective?''
61925''You sound incredulous; why?''
61925''You vain, you delicate, unreal thing, do you understand at all?
61925''You want me to come with you?''
61925''You will never marry?''
61925''You would do that-- without remorse?''
61925''You would not?''
61925''You''d sacrifice Aphros to me?''
61925''Zapantiotis sold his soul for money-- was it money you promised him?''
61925A Platonic alliance?''
61925A bomb has been thrown,''--(''_Mais ils sont donc tous apaches?_''cried Condesa Valdez.
61925A glimpse of her life had been revealed to him, but what secrets remained yet hidden?
61925A philosophic friendship?
61925A question left the lips of the postmaster,--''President of what?''
61925Am I not right?''
61925Am I right?
61925Am I to understand that you have permanently replaced your cousin in the-- ah!--presidency of Hagios Zacharie?''
61925And how soon before you return?
61925And why should Malteios return to- day, when in the preceding week, according to Nana, he had been so casually forgotten?
61925And why?
61925And you will remember the goodwill of Platon Malteios?''
61925Anger revived her--''Am I to waste myself on him?''
61925Are all women so irrational?
61925Are all women''s friendships so unstable?''
61925Are all women, I wonder, as vain as you?''
61925Are you going to bury yourself on those Islands of yours, growing grapes, ripening olives?
61925Are you so self- centred, so empty- headed?
61925Are you taking me seriously?
61925Are you to be trusted?''
61925Are you treating what I tell you with the gravity it deserves?
61925As he said nothing, she added,--''Besides, have I ever shown myself any of those things to you?
61925At that moment Tsigaridis, overcome by his anxiety, stretched out his hands towards him, surrendering his dignity in a supreme appeal,--''Kyrie?
61925But Eve has told me that you do not care for music?''
61925But for Eve... a girl.... After all, what is Madame Kato but a common woman, a woman of the people, and the mistress of Malteios into the bargain?''
61925But how could I have known?
61925But they must be blind to have seen nothing?
61925But what is to be done?
61925But, after all, what is this society?
61925But, of course, I was forgetting: Madame Kato is your companion here, is she not?
61925But_ I_ remain; shall I watch for you?
61925Ca n''t I put it right?
61925Can I not entertain you until then?''
61925Can you calmly contemplate the existence of an independent archipelago a few miles from your shore?''
61925Can you ride?''
61925Cowardly?
61925Did her voice mock him?
61925Did she care for Miloradovitch?
61925Did you give yourself to Zapantiotis?
61925Did you mean to create a revolution?''
61925Did you mean to ship me off to Athens, you and your accomplices, while you waited here in this room--_our_ room-- for your lover?''
61925Did you perhaps promise him yourself?
61925Do I mean less to you than the Islands?
61925Do n''t you hear the call of Paris and the world?''
61925Do you care nothing for the Islands?
61925Do you ever look forward to the procession of your life?
61925Do you know that I am betraying all the truth?
61925Do you know what monstrous things I am thinking?
61925Do you pay me the compliment of denying me the mean existence of an ordinary woman?''
61925Do you understand?
61925Do you want me to return to such an existence?''
61925Do you want to go back?''
61925Do you want what I offer you?
61925Do you, mademoiselle, know anything of your sex?
61925Does Eve listen when you talk about the Islands?''
61925During those hours, surely, his private troubles had been forgotten?
61925Eve he certainly could not trust; could he trust himself?
61925Eve heard Julian saying,--''Nicolas sends for me?
61925Eve, what do I care?
61925Eve?
61925Familiar to you, what?
61925Fru Thyregod, for instance?
61925Grbits replied sententiously, with the air of one creating a new proverb,--''Herakleion is open to invasion, but who wants to invade Herakleion?''
61925Hand the Islands over to Italy?''
61925Have you a boat?''
61925Have you been wearing a cap of invisibility?''
61925Have you considered?''
61925Have you ever seen a dead man?
61925Have you forgotten that in the last generation a Davenant caused himself to be elected President?''
61925Have you heard this woman, Kato?''
61925He found himself banishing the thought of Miloradovitch....''Have you changed?''
61925He has created a ridiculous disturbance; well, let that pass; we overlook it, but this persistence.... Where is it all to end?
61925He insisted,--''When did you really become aware of your own heartlessness?''
61925He loved you?
61925He said, pursuing his thought,--''You have never the wish of other women-- permanency?
61925He speculated amusedly as to the priest''s difficulties: an insurgent member of the flock?
61925He spoke to Tsigaridis,--''You asked for me, Tsantilas?''
61925Her voice broke upon his reflections,--''Thinking of the Islands, Julian?''
61925Here were all the vivid traces of her passage, but where was she?
61925How am I to know?
61925How am I to know?''
61925How do you find your father?
61925How many secrets like the secret of Paul are buried away in your heart?
61925How much time have you?''
61925How soon will it be before you forget the Islands?''
61925How soon will it be before you forget?
61925How soon will the launch be ready?''
61925I forget whether you are twenty- two or twenty- three?''
61925I suppose you saw yourself holding Panaïoannou at bay?
61925I understand that you have organised a system of communications?''
61925I want to ask you, Julian,''he said at once,''whether the story I have heard in the club to- night is true?
61925If not, one must surely spend the whole of life working in the dark?
61925In shame the words tore themselves from him,--''Had he any trouble?''
61925Interested and curious, he said,--''To please you, I should give up Kato?''
61925Irretrievably?''
61925Is he here by appointment with you to- day?''
61925Is it not magnificent?
61925Is it possible?
61925Is it true?''
61925Is n''t that profoundly illuminating?''
61925Is one simply deluded by your charm?
61925Kato exclaimed,''you have heard, Platon has gone?''
61925Kato played louder; she bent towards him,--''You love her so much, Julian?''
61925Like Samson, she had her hands upon the columns....''Madame Kato lives in this house?''
61925Looking at the plan, are you?
61925Madame Lafarge addressed herself to the group of men,--''I did not see you at the races?''
61925Madame?''
61925Malteios, you say?
61925May I come and talk to you?''
61925Middle- age-- I have been told there is such a thing?
61925Must your outlook be always so narrowly personal?
61925My poor misguided boy, do you not realise that your effort is_ bound_ to end in disaster, and will serve but to injure those you most desire to help?
61925Not a sexless means?
61925Now, a man is arrested on the Islands by the authorities, and what happens?
61925Of course they were lying; how could they not be lying?
61925Oh, what is there now for me to do?
61925One of the messages which reached him as he sat in the assembly- room had been from her: Would he send a boat to Herakleion for Nana?
61925Only once she spoke, to ask a question,''He would leave Herakleion?''
61925Or had the expedition been kept a secret from the still sleeping Herakleion?
61925Or had they been present, gnawing, beneath the mask of sympathy?
61925Or is he coming to- night for his reward?
61925Or, better, will you come to my house on Wednesday evening after the concert?
61925Perhaps you will tell this imaginary woman with whom you are to fall in love, about our Islands?''
61925Poor Carl,''she said reminiscently,''perhaps I have made him suffer; who knows?''
61925Prince of Aphros?''
61925Rowing- boat?
61925Seeing that her companion remained silent in uncertainty, she murmured an introduction,--''Do you know my cousin Julian?
61925Shall I go-- to whom?--to Malteios?
61925Shall I have the pleasure of seeing her?''
61925Shall I help you?
61925Shall I refuse?
61925Shall I tell you something?
61925Shall we escape?''
61925Shall we play a game with them?
61925She added, smiling,''In the realms of the impersonal?
61925She had spoken the last words with such impatience, that, torn from his speculations, he asked,--''Annoying you?
61925She laughed, and danced away, stretching out her hands towards him,--''Join in the saraband, Julian?''
61925She might, who knows?
61925She murmured again,--''And what am I?
61925So she must contend, not only against the Islands, but against Kato also?
61925So you think Herakleion will beat me?
61925Stay,''she added, searching in her memory,''was n''t there some extraordinary story about him as a young man?
61925Still a horror held him back: was it Eve, the child to whom he had been brotherly?
61925Surely men and women live in different worlds?''
61925Tell me what you mean by sordid and ugly-- what is there sordid or ugly in love?''
61925Tell me, are you fond of Eve?''
61925Thall I tell her?''
61925That I should leave you?
61925That you went to Aphros, and entered into heaven knows what absurd covenant with the people?''
61925That you will never betray?
61925The house of Platon Malteios-- Premier or ex- Premier?
61925The lazy voice, after a moment of silence, queried,--''Nana?''
61925The tongue was babbling in an empty body while the spirit journeyed in unknown fields, finding there what excruciating torment?
61925To break the image, he called out aloud,--''You were very deeply immersed in your thoughts, father?''
61925To this they received no answer, nor any to their next remark,--''Why so much mystery?
61925Under the fury of his unexpected outburst, she protested,--''Julian, why attack me?
61925Unnatural existence; unnatural?
61925Very naïf, very charming, very candid, very fawn- like-- or is it, hideous suspicion, a pose?''
61925Was it money you promised Zapantiotis?''
61925Was it possible that Eve made part of a limited brotherhood?
61925Was it possible that Eve was mixed up in Malteios''political schemes?
61925Was it possible that he should be attracted by Eve?
61925Was it possible that the attack had finally drawn away?
61925Was no sense of proportion or of responsibility ever to weigh upon her beautiful shoulders?
61925Was she to blame for her cruelty, her selfishness, her disregard for truth?
61925Was the standard of cardinal virtues set by the world the true, the ultimate standard?
61925We will work together?''
61925Well, what do you propose to do, my dear Julian?
61925Were the most radiant moments the moments in which one stepped farthest from the ordered acceptance of the world?
61925What am I to believe?''
61925What are you?
61925What do I, Kato, know of the houses you will live in in England, or of your English friends?
61925What do they hope to kill?
61925What do you do there?
61925What do you know?
61925What do you think?''
61925What else did you suppose?
61925What have I done?
61925What have I to do with a banking house in Herakleion, you with a few vineyards near the coast?
61925What have you done to my Kato?
61925What have you seen?
61925What is he thinking about?
61925What is it you want?
61925What is the grievance of the Islands?
61925What madness made me do it?
61925What part have I got in this world of yours?''
61925What part would she, the spoilt, the exquisite, play if there were to be bloodshed on Aphros?
61925What report of Aphros could I carry to Herakleion?''
61925What right have you to dictate to me?''
61925What spoken or unspoken understanding existed between the inscrutable brothers?
61925What then?
61925What was it, this bond of flesh?
61925What''ll you drink?
61925What''s at the bottom of that instinct?
61925What''s this instinct of wanting to stand alone, to be oneself, isolated, free, individual?
61925What?
61925When he had finished speaking, she asked him another question,''He could never trace the thing to me?''
61925When their greetings were over, Julian said,--''I believe you were asking for my cousin, sir?''
61925Where can one look for fidelity?
61925Where is William Davenant now, do you know?''
61925Where was Herakleion, stucco- built and tawdry, city of perpetually- clanging bells, revolutions, and Prime Ministers made and unmade in a day?
61925Where?
61925Which are we to use?''
61925Who had betrayed him?
61925Who has?
61925Who in their senses would harness the divine courser to a mail- cart?''
61925Who is she?
61925Who knows that the two ruffians I saw winking were not the very men we were after?
61925Why do we fight against government?
61925Why does instinct push us towards individualism, when the great wellbeing of mankind probably lies in solidarity?
61925Why had n''t I the strength to remain solitary?
61925Why should Kato apologise to him for the unexpected arrival of her lover?
61925Why so patient, so long- suffering, with Eve?
61925Why suggest it?
61925Why this mania for capture?
61925Why?
61925Why?
61925Why?''
61925Will I exercise my influence with Malteios to get his brother released?
61925Will he think me bad?
61925Will you come?''
61925Will you kill me?''
61925Will you not come and speak to her?''
61925Will you take the responsibility of refusing it?''
61925With an upheaval of sheets he heard her sit upright in bed, and her exclamation,--''Who said you might come in here?''
61925Wo n''t you realise that I am responsible for five thousand lives?
61925Would he urge his father''s interference?
61925Would he, Julian, who was young, be merciful?
61925Would they never succeed in getting away from the topic?
61925Would you like the tropics, I wonder, Julian?
61925Would your cousin leave Aphros?
61925You are not very jealous of me, are you, Julian?''
61925You assume or bequeath very lightly the mantle of government, do you not?
61925You go to England?''
61925You will come back?
61925You, placid, unemotional, unawakened?
61925You, unimpressionable?
61925Young Zapantiotis called to him from another window,--''You see them, Kyrie?
61925Your eyes smoulder; I am near the truth?''
61925Your father said to me apprehensively,"I am told Madame Kato''s flat was wrecked last night?"
61925Your intentions, excellent; but your judgment perhaps a little precipitate?
61925Youth-- were the years of youth the intuitive years of perception?
61925_ Allons donc!_ You, apathetic?
61925_ Je me fiche des Balcans._ And you?
61925_ un tas de rastas._ Do you think I shall remain here long?
61925a fish?
61925a house with me?
61925a necessary repair to the church?
61925and want so badly that he can perform the feat of coming out here from Herakleion in the heat of the afternoon?''
61925any news?''
61925but you?''
61925can you explain?''
61925dying down like a flame, to revive again?
61925had a wave, washing forward, deposited it gently, and retreated without its burden?
61925he shouted at her, seizing her by the arm,''or was he, perhaps, like Paul, in love with you?
61925how could I have known?''
61925leadership?
61925me black?''
61925meaningless because unnecessary in such a realm of serenity?
61925my own generation"?''
61925never the inkling of such a wish?''
61925nineteen?
61925now?
61925only answer me, are you trying to tell me that you have fallen in love?
61925or Eve, the woman?
61925or Herakleion independent of Greece?
61925or Kato?''
61925or Kato?''
61925or is there a deeper truth?
61925or the Islands independent of Herakleion?
61925shall I tell you why?
61925she cried;''I would n''t have treated you so, Julian; why did n''t you trust yourself to me?''
61925she forced herself to ask, and then, relapsing,''Which will fade first in your memory, I wonder-- the Islands?
61925she interrupted with scorn,''what has reason got to do with love?'')
61925so material, yet so imperative, so compelling, as to become almost a spiritual, not a bodily, necessity?
61925so transitory, yet so recurrent?
61925so unimportant, so grossly commonplace, yet creating so close and tremulous an intimacy?
61925some crazy adventure he engaged in?
61925that swept aside the careful training, individual and hereditary, replacing pride by another pride?
61925their exuberance, their vulgarity?...
61925this fallacious yet fundamental and dominating bond?
61925this unique and mutual secret?
61925this wanting to take from me my most treasured possession-- liberty?
61925to be forgiven all for the sake of the rarer, more distant flame?
61925was indeed a citizen of some advanced state of such perfection that this world''s measures and ideals were left behind and meaningless?
61925was she, not evil, but only alien?
61925what do you suppose?
61925what have you heard?
61925what on earth do you mean?
61925when the social system in its most elementary form starts with men clubbing together for comfort and greater safety?
61925where are you going?''
61925which is it to be?''
61925why are they ringing the bells?
61925why are you dressed?
61925why do I want to be independent of my father?
61925why?
61925why?''
41803''And to whom?'' 41803 ''Tis a pretty toy enough, but how can I give that to Marthe?
41803Agreed,he said, smiling;"and what does the Princess Margaret protecting that pale shrinking flower, Joan of the Sword Hand, remind you of?"
41803Ah, Von Lynar, my brave Dane, what good wind blows you here?
41803Ah, it was quieter at Isle Rugen, was it not?
41803Ah,she said,"you think so?
41803Also?
41803Am I not also Princess of Courtland?
41803And a woman in love?
41803And for this you ask?
41803And he is so brave,said the secretary, whose interest suddenly increased;"he won the tournament yesterday, did he not?
41803And how took your Katrin the ring, Boris?
41803And my wife-- the Princess Joan, where is she?
41803And now, my Lord Cardinal,she said,"what have you been saying to my husband''s daughter?"
41803And now, sir,said the priest abruptly,"who may you be?"
41803And pray, Prince Ivan,he said,"what could I have done that I left undone?
41803And pray, how came you so like the Duchess that you can pass muster for her?
41803And pray, sir, why?
41803And shall I also ask him to send hither his most skilled doctors of healing?
41803And the Princess Joan----?
41803And the Princess Margaret?
41803And the greater?
41803And the other,she said, covering it up with a little shudder,"that on the head, where is it?"
41803And then?
41803And therefore the mother of the Duchess Joan?
41803And this gentleman here,he added, looking at Jorian,"is he also in bed, sick?"
41803And what happened when she got to him-- when she found her husband?
41803And what o''the childer-- the house- bairns-- what o''them? 41803 And what of the Duchess Joan?"
41803And what takes you to Courtland?
41803And what, I pray you, have princes of Holy Church to do with love? 41803 And when the enemy fled, did he wait till the bearers came?
41803And when will you return, my Lady Theresa? 41803 And where is this place, and when can I leave it to proceed upon my journey?"
41803And wherefore?
41803And why not you to your duchy?
41803And why should he not?
41803And why till ten?
41803And why,said the young man,"if I may ask without offence, is your son not the heir to the Dukedom?"
41803And why?
41803And why?
41803And you lied about your sweethearts to the Duchess Joan?
41803And you promise to be my guest? 41803 And you, Captain Jorian,"she said,"how went it with you?
41803And you, young masquerader,said Father Clement, turning to the Sparhawk,"what say you to all this?
41803And you?
41803And you?
41803And your chief captain, Von Orseln?
41803And your own title, my lord?
41803And yours, Captain Boris?
41803Are we not still Envoys?
41803Are you not moved, Louis?
41803Are you quite, quite sure?
41803Are you the Prince of Courtland?
41803At what hour shall I depart, my lady?
41803But how did you manage to appease her? 41803 But how,"said Von Orseln, meditating,"will you prevent her absence being known?
41803But in the meantime, Princess Joan, does it please you to signify when you will receive your husband?
41803But it is impossible,urged Joan;"or, if it be true, why am I kept here?
41803But my nurse and my women-- how can he keep the imposture secret? 41803 But we promised to keep them as souvenirs?"
41803But what said you to that?
41803But why? 41803 But you are going out?"
41803But you said just now that you came to Courtland to see''your dear mistress?''
41803But, Prince Ivan,she interposed quickly, but still smiling,"what is this?
41803But,said Joan within herself,"what care I for armour black or armour white?
41803By whose orders was this thing done?
41803Can you fence?
41803Could I let the young man go alone into the midst of his enemies?
41803Deal you so with your guests who come on embassy?
41803Dearest, what does it matter? 41803 Did Margaret tell it you?"
41803Did the Princess serve Joan of the Sword Hand as she served you?
41803Do they let things like that run about loose here in Courtland?
41803Do they not arch their backs when they are stroked? 41803 Do you know,"she began,"that I might well have lodged you in a dungeon cell for that which in another had been dire insolence?"
41803Do you think to deceive me, Theresa, whom Henry the Lion loved? 41803 Do you, then, fence well?
41803Does he look like the brother of the Duchess Joan?
41803Dost want to be yawing out of that window presently, with the wind spinning you about and about like a capon on a jack- spit? 41803 Eh, what''s that you say?"
41803Eh? 41803 Eh?"
41803Father Clement, were you ever in love? 41803 Father Clement,"she said, turning about to the priest with a provocative look on her face,"have you a prophecy for us worthy a like guerdon?"
41803Father Clement-- our Conrad''s tutor, why he more than another?
41803Get her? 41803 Had Prince Conrad been in your place, and you behind the altar rails, think you that the Duchess Joan would have fled so cavalierly?"
41803Have the pretty young men of Plassenburg maids and tirewomen? 41803 Have they found out this my-- prison?
41803Have you anything to say to that, Chief Captain von Orseln?
41803He remains in Castle Kernsberg, then?
41803Hold it?
41803How came the Princess to love you?
41803How can I finish the arraying of your locks, if you twist about thus in your seat? 41803 How can you know that?"
41803How could he,demanded Joan, the soldier''s daughter, sharply,"he was on duty?"
41803How know you that?
41803How long can we hold out if they besiege us?
41803How now, sweet Thora of the Flaxen Locks?
41803How should a great lady listen to her husband''s brother-- and he a priest?
41803How so, Sir Wiseman-- because they do not like puppies? 41803 How so?"
41803How went matters to- day on your side?
41803I hope you will be very happy with my brother,she faltered; then after a moment she added,"Have you not perchance a brother of your own?"
41803I would not ask it of any man in the world but yourself,she said,"but will you let me go with you?"
41803If thou and I were thus wedded, Grete, would you ride one way and I the other? 41803 If you were a priest, why did you ride in the great tournament of the Blacks and the Whites at Courtland not a year ago?"
41803In that case, would she have called us in? 41803 In what place?"
41803Is he not precious beyond words, this youngling, eh, Paul Strelitz?
41803Is it a fashion of Kernsberg brides thus to steal away?
41803Is it a safe thing, think you, Sir Count, to jest with a princess in her own land and then come back to flout her for it?
41803Is not that last somewhat overstrained about peace and concord and so forth?
41803Is she very beautiful? 41803 Is that all your tidings?"
41803Is that also a Plassenburg custom?
41803Is the Duchess Joan within?
41803Isle Rugen? 41803 Isle Rugen?"
41803Know you not that much?
41803Love you, Louis?
41803Madam,he said, bowing low,"will you be pleased to sit down?
41803Married, is she?
41803Marthe,cried Anna Pappenheim, with vast pretence of indignation,"what has gotten into you, girl?
41803Maurice von Lynar has married the Princess Margaret of Courtland? 41803 Maurice von Lynar?"
41803Maurice, Maurice,she murmured,"can you forgive me?
41803My Lady Margaret,the Muscovite purred in answer,"think you it is wise thus to encourage rebellion in the most sacred relations of life?"
41803My lady,he said,"was not the bond for Isle Rugen alone?
41803My lord,she said,"is it true that you go to Courtland after leaving our poor eagle''s nest up here on the cliffs of the Kernsberg?"
41803My sister Margaret, you mean? 41803 My son remains in Castle Kernsberg?"
41803Nay,answered Conrad readily as before;"but smaller necessities yield to greater?"
41803No?
41803Not return?
41803Of course not,he cried cheerfully;"why should you?
41803Of what other could I speak?
41803Oh, they will have no trouble, will they not?
41803On which side was it? 41803 Peter Balta,"he said,"will you be my second?
41803Prince Conrad-- our own Prince Conrad, he has come back, our true Prince? 41803 Shall we stand this?
41803She is ill? 41803 She kissed you?"
41803Sister, what was that?
41803So, against your father''s will, you apprenticed yourself to an architect?
41803So, then, madam, you knew of this?
41803So,he said,"the Princess is married, is she?
41803So,said Werner von Orseln grimly,"you think so, do you, Captains Boris and Jorian, of the embassy staff?
41803So,said the Prince, evidently in considerable surprise;"then you have certainly often seen her fence?"
41803So,said the priest;"but will Prince Louis and the Muscovites give you leave to enjoy them?"
41803Speak, indeed? 41803 Surely never on any man''s face?"
41803Surely not?
41803Tell me,he said,"who is the lout in black, that looks like a priest- cub out for a holiday?"
41803That we may concert plans of escape?
41803The Count von Löen, did she say?
41803The Lady Joan?
41803The woman he loves?
41803Then I am not to go back to the dungeon?
41803Then am I to understand that as a soldier you told the Duchess Joan that you loved her, and that as a priest you forbade the banns? 41803 Then came the young man''s mother near, she who was our hostess at Isle Rugen----""Why did you not abide at Kernsberg as you were instructed?"
41803Then you are not really a priest?
41803Then you are the Count von Löen?
41803Then, doubtless, you would see the Duchess Joan?
41803There is none at Plassenburg whom you love at all?
41803There will be a battle, Joan, will there not?
41803These are cardinals? 41803 Think?
41803Think?
41803To what,she said,"am I so fortunate as to owe the unexpected honour of this visit?"
41803Was it old Bette who taught you thus to take a lady''s arm? 41803 Was she very angry?"
41803Was yours the order concerning the dropping of the ball?
41803Well, and have they?
41803Well, and what of that?
41803Well, do you not understand? 41803 Well, what have you been doing?
41803Well,laughed Von Orseln,"who cares for that?
41803Well,said the Sparhawk,"I could not help that, could I?"
41803Well?
41803Well?
41803Well?
41803Well?
41803Werner von Orseln, will you obey me, or must I slay you with my hand?
41803What disaster has brought you here? 41803 What do they look at, good Peter-- tell us quickly?
41803What do you here? 41803 What do you know?"
41803What do you mean, Johannes Rode?
41803What excuse could we make to Hugo, our Prince?
41803What in Heaven''s name is the meaning of all this-- I do not understand in the least?
41803What is a little brown water?
41803What is her name?
41803What is one day among our enemies? 41803 What is that?"
41803What is the meaning of this?
41803What is this? 41803 What is your name, sir?"
41803What matter?
41803What news bring you, good envoys?
41803What news?
41803What of him, good Peter? 41803 What of that, man?"
41803What of whom?
41803What request?
41803What said the Lady Joan when you told her that you loved her?
41803What said the Princess?
41803What the devil----?
41803What to me is it to become a princess? 41803 What will you do, Joan?"
41803What''s ado?--what is''t, that you fret a man in his beauty- sleep?
41803What, Gossip Bette-- have you never heard? 41803 What, does the Muscovite press you so hard?"
41803What, not to know her child-- her own flesh and blood? 41803 What, then, will you do?
41803What? 41803 What?
41803What? 41803 What?"
41803What?
41803What?
41803Whence come these churchyard scourings, these skulls and crossbones set up on end?
41803Whence come you, strangers?
41803Where have I seen a look like that before?
41803Where is Maurice to- night?
41803Where is Max Ulrich?
41803Where is your hand- glass?
41803Where was the wound?
41803Wherefore?
41803Which Prince?
41803Which Princess?
41803Which of us would do as much for any on the earth?
41803Which, perhaps, is the reason why you are in no hurry to return thither, seeing that you stopped short at the frontier last week?
41803Whither away, Ambassador?
41803Whither would you go?
41803Who has dared to harm my lady?
41803Who is she? 41803 Who is that youth?"
41803Who is there?
41803Who is there?
41803Who leads you?
41803Who told you this?
41803Who will remain here on Isle Rugen with the Duchess Joan?
41803Who would dare?
41803Who would have believed it possible?
41803Who?
41803Why can not the Princess Margaret be married?
41803Why can not you stay in the Castle to- night?
41803Why were we born to princedoms, Conrad, you and I?
41803Why, did I not hear that you came to us by way of Kernsberg?
41803Why,cried Martha,"whence this grand toilet?
41803Why?
41803Why?
41803Will my lord with the hook nose so great and noble deign to express a preference which of us shall be his handmaid?
41803Will you tell me how I came here, and to whom I am indebted for my life?
41803Will you?
41803With whom are we in speech?
41803Yet what have I gained either of solid good or even of the lighter but not less agreeable matter of my lady''s favour? 41803 Yet, why should I vaunt?
41803You accompany the new ambassador, do you not?
41803You are in love-- with the Princess Margaret?
41803You are noble?
41803You are not deceiving me?
41803You are of sufficient fortune to maintain the Princess as becomes her rank?
41803You are sure that Bette, who comes for your clothes and to see that you have all you want, is old?
41803You are sure that you do not feel any ill effects-- you are perfectly well?
41803You are sure that you speak the truth now? 41803 You are sure, Thora,"said the Princess Margaret almost fiercely, laying her hand on her tirewoman''s wrist,"that there is no harm in all this?
41803You consent?
41803You delivered him up?
41803You have been down at the landing- place-- on such a night?
41803You have business with me, young sir?
41803You have granted my request?
41803You have too pretty a hand for a man,she said;"why is it hard here and here?"
41803You have, then, accompanied the Lady Duchess hither for pleasure, gentlemen? 41803 You mean he would not go to Plassenburg even if I asked him?"
41803You really love me?
41803You take horse to follow your bride?
41803You will not dance?
41803You, Peter, have a wife that loves you-- so, at least, we understand-- and your Marion, how would she fare in this hard world without you? 41803 Your Excellency needs me?"
41803Your-- dear-- mistress?
41803''And you?''
41803''_ What is the matter betwixt me and the maidens?_''If you had let me explain I would have told you long ago.
41803( Ah, the rascal, would he?
41803( Tut-- what am I saying?
41803("Humph-- what, then, is the man talking about?
41803*****"And what answered you?"
41803A dash of walnut juice, and who will guess that under the tan of Conrad the serf there is concealed a prince of Holy Church?"
41803Ah, that is bad-- why could you not be content----?
41803Ah, viper, would you sting?"
41803Ah, why did you not tell me that day?
41803And how would you do as to your beard?
41803And in their hearts they will envy you the experience-- shall we say the privilege?"
41803And lastly-- question most pertinent of all-- what had you to drink down there in hall, young fellow?"
41803And my son-- why should my vow bind him?
41803And now you wish to marry?
41803And priests?"
41803And shall I grow disobedient now?
41803And the estates-- a little involved, doubtless, like those of most well- born folk in these ill days?
41803And then, what matters dead prince or living prince?
41803And this woman, who so regally played the mistress of this strange heritage, who was she?
41803And till this Muscovite came between, were you not good to me?
41803And what are your hill- fed brooks to the full- bosomed rivers of the Great Plain?"
41803And what more natural?
41803And what shall be your worthy and terrible revenge?"
41803And what was the secret of the residence of one in this wilderness who, by her manner, might in her time have queened it in royal courts?
41803And when he says,''Woman of my love, hast thou kept thy troth?''
41803And who will care for my honourable opponent?"
41803And whose baby may this be?''
41803And why should I?
41803And yet they tell me you have been in Courtland before, Sir Boris?"
41803And you are her husband?
41803And, indeed, what need?
41803And, moreover, pray tell me, little one, what will they do to me?"
41803And, not to be behindhand,"What the devil----?"
41803Any less bold and peremptory than when last we met?
41803Are they coming to capture me?"
41803Are they in your sole right?"
41803Are they not sufficient reasons for my remaining here?"
41803Are you a deliverer of ladies by wholesale?
41803Are you smooth as an egg on both cheeks as I am?
41803Are you with me, lads of the hills?"
41803As I said, what is the use of being a princess if you can not marry whom you will?
41803At the sound of Joan''s words he was startled into crying out loudly,"What?"
41803Besides, even if you could, would you leave my service and engage with some other?"
41803Besides, is she not a princess?
41803Brother Louis, my father committed me to you as a little child-- have I not been a loving and a faithful sister to you?
41803But aloud Sixtus said, with a surprised accent,"Then why do you come to me?"
41803But hath the matter been secret?
41803But what shall we do with this poor lovesick bride of ours?"
41803But what was she to do?
41803But what would you, gentlemen?
41803But where is the Ambassador?
41803But whom do you wish to marry?
41803But, my Lady Joan, what know you of the strife of Blacks and Whites at Courtland?"
41803But, of course, how should I expect you to help me?
41803Butchers''slaughtermen every one?
41803Can I keep that which was only given me in trust for another?
41803Can you afford to proclaim yourself the scorn of Germany?
41803Can you do nothing for your meat but reach down black puddings from the rafters?"
41803Can you imagine it, Paul?"
41803Can you serve two masters?"
41803Capture Joan of the Sword Hand and carry her off?
41803Could it have been for such a thing as you that I sent away the Prince of Muscovy-- yes, and many others-- because I could not forget you?
41803Curs of Courtland, would ye desert your Prince?
41803Did I not tell you to spare us your comparatives?"
41803Did Margaret tell me?
41803Did he dream that another hand had been holding it, that gentlest fingers had rested caressingly on his brow?
41803Did he not come to Courtland with my Lord Dessauer, the Ambassador of Plassenburg?"
41803Did it well- nigh cost you your life?"
41803Did not he, for whose words alone I cared, call me his queen?
41803Did you ever see their marrow?"
41803Did you hear him, Paul?"
41803Did you speak, Captain von Orseln?"
41803Do they not purr?
41803Do they not teach you how to help ladies to alight in Plassenburg?"
41803Do you hear, Prince Louis?
41803Do you know that you have lied to her and made a jest of it?"
41803Do you not see that Conrad your brother must pay for his red hat?
41803Do you promise?"
41803Do you promise?"
41803Do you take service with me?"
41803Does he go to visit her so early this morning?
41803Does it hang inside your chimney?
41803Does that necessity no longer exist?"
41803Dost want them jellied, man?"
41803Eh, Jorian?"
41803Else wherefore was I born a Dane?
41803For do not I see it upon the little finger of your left hand at this moment?
41803For have I not tasted with him the glory of life, and with him plucked out the heart of the mystery?
41803For now the surgeons of Courtland stood about, and she murmured,"Must he die?
41803For the look on her face said,"After all, what is there so strange in that?
41803God''s grace-- Is there never a man amongst you?"
41803Had not Duke Casimir assaulted Kernsberg in vain, and even the great Margraf George threatened it?
41803Had she fainted?
41803Had these wastes once belonged to men of her race?
41803Hast thou not drunken enough blood this morning?"
41803Hath an east wind made you sulky this morning, that you will not answer?"
41803Have I been loyal to my prince these many years, so that now shame itself sits on my brow as gladly as a crown of bay, that I should fail him now?
41803Have I been these many weeks with you two in the house and not seen this?
41803Have I your leave to bring them together in the Palace?
41803Have the ropes broken?
41803Have you ever said a loving word to her, bent the knee, kissed her hand-- which, being persisted in, is the true way to kiss the mouth?"
41803Have you laid by a stocking- foot full of gold?
41803Have you not seen them lie about the house all day, doing nothing and looking as saintly as so many abbots at High Mass?
41803Hear you?
41803Her one thought was,"Will_ he_ be here?"
41803How can a self- respecting tire- woman attend to her business under such circumstances?
41803How he would gobble and glower?
41803How indeed is it possible?
41803How learned you these things?
41803How many days''water is there in the wells?"
41803How shall we meet this?
41803How takes he all this?"
41803How then, so mighty particular about hands on shoulders?
41803How was he to know all that lay behind?
41803How, then, can you understand the feelings of a wife?"
41803How?
41803I am the first?
41803I know my gift, and will own it even if your Katrin( was it not?)
41803I mean how did the thoughts enter into your mind?"
41803I was carried out of myself----""The Duchess, then, rejected your suit with contumely?"
41803If you had children, who can say----?"
41803If you will not have the Duchess Joan von Hohenstein, what say you to the Sparhawk''s second, Johann the Squire?"
41803Is Kernsberg taken?"
41803Is he not your heir?
41803Is it a miracle?
41803Is it a rescue?
41803Is it not so, my son?"
41803Is it not so?"
41803Is it not wonderful?"
41803Is it not written that they that take the sword shall perish by the sword?"
41803Is it sudden madness or the frenzy of the Black Death?"
41803Is my hair sadly tangled?
41803Is not this kiss as sweet as any civet- scented fop could give?"
41803Is not this your vengeance already sweet in prospect?"
41803Is the thing not well invented, my lady?"
41803Is there by chance such an one, Captain Jorian, left behind you at Plassenburg?"
41803Is this your wish, as well as that of the Princess Margaret?
41803It will, will it?"
41803Maurice, why did you risk it?"
41803Maurice-- where was Maurice?
41803May I now have the honour of conducting you to the summer parlour?"
41803My Lady Joan, what do you do in this place?"
41803My lords, have you blacked your eyelashes yet, touched up your eyebrows, scented and waxed those_ beautiful_ moustaches?
41803No, Prince Louis, will you have me go as your friend or as your enemy?"
41803Noble Wendish gentlemen, will not you engage us?"
41803Of what had he been dreaming?
41803Of what use is your great fathom of pump- water?
41803On the right?
41803Or did you wholly forget the little circumstance that once on a time you yourself married her to your brother?"
41803Or how else would I, your brother''s wife, listen to such words from any man-- least of all from you?"
41803Or to any of her favourers?"
41803Or would you prefer to carry me with you handcuffed and chained?
41803Out with it?
41803Perhaps it was the thought of the dangerous escort duty upon which they had promised to venture forth that night; perhaps----"May we come in?"
41803Peter Altmaar, what are they doing?
41803Peter Balta, are you seconding Werner?
41803Pull the strings off my cap, dame, sayst thou?
41803Ready, Boris?"
41803Shall it be together?"
41803Shall it be told to yourself alone or in the presence of this man?"
41803Shall our young Duchess Joan be wived and bedded like some little burgheress that sells laces and tape all day long on the Axel- strasse?
41803Shall she get a burr in her throat with breathing the raw fogs of the Baltic?
41803Shall the daughter of Henry the Lion be at the commandment of any Bor- Russian boor, an it like her not?
41803Shall the free Princess be the huswife of a yellow Baltic dwarf?
41803Shall this springald seat himself in your princely chair, or-- shall we try the Cross of the Ukraine?"
41803Shall we exchange?"
41803She could not make enough of the giver of such a precious thing as your Highness''s ring?"
41803She is stricken with the plague?
41803She says he is like her son, does she?
41803Sister, can you look and live?"
41803So soon as you can get the horses ready?"
41803Surely that could not be a tear in her eye?
41803Tell me, are you the Count von Löen?"
41803Tell me, is it dangerous?
41803Tell me, will he die?"
41803The Count von Löen, if I mistake not-- that was his name?"
41803The mother of that young paladin, their Sparhawk?
41803The only question is_ when_?
41803The word was on every lip,"When will they come?"
41803Then aloud she said,"You are not deceiving me?
41803Then has my brother----?"
41803Then what was the matter?
41803Then with a quick change of subject habitual to the man, he said,"How found you your way hither?
41803They can not part us now, can they, High Councillor?
41803They could leave their powers to whomsoever they would, not even the Emperor having the right to say,"What doest thou?"
41803They parted at the church door?
41803They seek after heavenly things, do they not?
41803They were lashing at him as he lay to kill him outright?
41803Think you that I will permit this man to die in my stead?
41803Was ever a poor girl so driven?
41803Was he not Henry the Lion-- and mine?"
41803Was he not a gentleman and a Dane?
41803Was it possible?
41803Was it the Duchess Joan''s wedding day?
41803Was not he going to the summer palace to see the Prince?
41803Was your ring well received?"
41803Werner von Orseln, indeed, tramping the inner rounds, cried"Whither away?"
41803What are they doing?
41803What did her father''s motto, the device of her house, upon this Baltic island, far from the highlands of Kernsberg?
41803What do you keep from me?
41803What else?"
41803What had come to her?
41803What happened then?"
41803What harm, then, that you should make love to your brother''s wife?
41803What have you to say ere I order you to be flung out from the battlements of the western tower?"
41803What hinders, though, that we have a bottle of Rhenish now, even though the vintage be younger than you say?
41803What is a country in comparison with a husband?
41803What is this?"
41803What kept you so long when I called you?
41803What more?
41803What now, Peter?"
41803What say you now to that, Jorian?"
41803What say you to the High Councillor of Plassenburg, Von Dessauer?
41803What say you to the Ukraine Cross, the Cross of Steeds?
41803What say you, Justus?"
41803What say you, Louis?
41803What shall we do?
41803What think you of this business?"
41803What want I more with dignities?"
41803What will my brothers do with their serene highnesses then?
41803What wonder if it wavered like a branch in an uncertain wind?
41803What would our commander say to that?
41803What, you are touched on the sword arm?
41803What, you have none?
41803What, your brother''s widow?
41803What?
41803When will Father Clement come?"
41803When will they be at an end?"
41803Where are they?
41803Where are your women?"
41803Where is he?"
41803Where is that rascal?
41803Where is your welcome, your kinsmanlike manners?
41803Where was it to be done?
41803Where will you see their match?
41803Wherefore are you not a soldier?"
41803Wherefore have you changed?
41803Wherefore should a woman hamper a man in his wars?
41803Whither would she go?
41803Who can he be?"
41803Who can wonder at the lady''s taste?
41803Who else is my friend if you desert me?"
41803Who is going to keep a man''s wife for him if he can not do it himself?
41803Who is the Muscovite, that he should bring his abominations into Courtland?
41803Who knew what would come next?
41803Who was speaking about marrying her?
41803Who was that youth who fled as we came up?"
41803Who will ride to Kernsberg and bring back succour?"
41803Who would persuade or compel our lady?
41803Who, then, has dared to plot against the liberty of Joan of Hohenstein?"
41803Why could we not have talked comfortably in hall, with a beaker of mead at one''s elbow?"
41803Why did he marry her?"
41803Why did you do it?"
41803Why has he made you cruel to your little Margaret?"
41803Why should we fear our quiet Hugo?"
41803Why then did you kiss her?"
41803Why, is this a night of jewels, and shall we not melt them?
41803Will it not blot out the lines as you read your daily office?"
41803Will not her face come between you and the altar?
41803Will not her image float before you as you kneel at the shrine?
41803Will not these two serve?
41803Will the horses not pull?
41803Will the irons not hold?
41803Will you deign to tell us how more formally we may address you?
41803Will you take them to the Prince''s assistance immediately?
41803Will you walk with me on the terrace?
41803Will you, little one?
41803Would she be safer there than here?
41803Would the Courtlander not find out in twenty- four hours that there was no Joan of the Sword Hand in Kernsberg, and follow on her trail?
41803Ye are not such fools and traitors as to deliver the maiden castle, the Eagle''s Nest of Hohenstein, into the hands of our enemies?"
41803Yet have we been accounted fellows of some humour in our own country and among men----""Why, then, did you not stay there?"
41803Yet, after all, what does it matter?
41803You are not already betrothed?"
41803You do not wish to go?"
41803You have found out that?"
41803You have often fenced with her?"
41803You remember the last time?"
41803You saw?"
41803You wished to see us fight, do you remember?"
41803You would torture prisoners, would you, after what I have said?
41803Your brother was alive, Prince of Courtland, married to this fair lady( what was her name?
41803Your wound is not again causing you to dote?"
41803[_ Page 186_]]"What is this?"
41803and wherefore should our Prince''s wife not change her mind?"
41803answered very haughtily the lady of the Isle Rugen--''Who are you?''
41803asked Margaret of Courtland of Joan, as they came out together; she looked at the Dane--"he at the head of your first troops?
41803asked the Prince,"or play with the broad blade?"
41803by sacrificing you?
41803cried Margaret,"within a day''s march of the city?
41803cried Maurice, with a kind of joy in his face;"do you think they will come after us?"
41803cried Otto the guardsman,"do men not embrace one another when they meet, and kiss each other on either cheek at parting?
41803cried Werner,"canst thou, pap- backed babe, not lift that which the noble Count Maurice of Lynar has perforce to carry about with him all day long?
41803cried Werner,"how goes it, Sparhawk?
41803cried the leader of the crowd,"can it be that there are scores of these Plassenburg black crows in Courtland, slaying whom they will?
41803flashed the Princess, suddenly firing up;"do you not see, man, that you can not lie yourself out of this?
41803growled Boris, very low;"who tells this tale, you or I?"
41803he cried,"is my young cock of Plassenburg so mightily particular that he can not have an honest soldier''s hand upon his shoulder?"
41803he said;"have the ladies yet left the Summer Palace?"
41803mocked Justus;"why, then, did you not stop there?
41803muttered the Prince, smiling as if he knew his sister,"this is the way to the Princess''s apartments, is it?
41803said Boris;"shall I pink the brutes?"
41803said the voice of Alexis at the tent door,"am I permitted to speak?"
41803shall I be compelled to answer''No?''"
41803she cried,"Captain Boris, what said you was the name of your betrothed?"
41803she said;"what need I more with life now?
41803she said;"why does he delay?"
41803why was I born a princess?"
48882''Did you know those English at Lahore?'' 48882 ''What is it?''
48882''You could guide us through?'' 48882 ''You have come for it?''
48882Ah, but you have not spoken of this?
48882All the servants are on the beach, then?
48882Am I not?
48882An ancestress of hers, no doubt?
48882And destroyed it, of course?
48882And her hat?
48882And here you are going to remain all night?
48882And how should I know anything? 48882 And if you die in the meantime?
48882And now can you explain it?
48882And show my hand, you mean? 48882 And so that inhuman wretch is Marion''s mother?"
48882And that is all you are going to tell me, Geoffrey?
48882And there she is now?
48882And to- night''s doings are to remain a secret?
48882And what is that?
48882And when I come back do I bring a joyful confession with me?
48882And who is this gentleman?
48882And why are you regarding me so intently? 48882 And why has Marion gone away?"
48882And yet I rather gather that she does not hold first place in your affections?
48882And you do n''t know who she is?
48882And you expect me to believe this, Geoffrey?
48882And you interfered to save the life of others?
48882And you will not have a doctor?
48882And you wo n''t be long?
48882Are there any mysteries?
48882Are they different to ours?
48882Are we never going to do anything?
48882Are you coming with us?
48882Are you feeling better?
48882Are you going to speak or shall I tell the story? 48882 Are you not my friend?
48882Are you really leaving us?
48882Are you sure of that?
48882Are you thinking of the same thing that we are?
48882As far as I am concerned, you mean? 48882 As you do?"
48882But I suppose she came to see you?
48882But can I cultivate her after to- night?
48882But can they?
48882But do you think you were wise to show this to me?
48882But my mother and Geoffrey and----"Ah, you love Geoffrey? 48882 But surely this does not apply to my family?"
48882But the light in the corridor?
48882But was it an accident?
48882But what can I want it for? 48882 But what do they want there?"
48882But who was he, Tchigorsky?
48882But why bring him here?
48882But why does she come?
48882But why not stop it? 48882 But why-- why does this fascinating Asiatic come all those miles to destroy one by one a race that she can scarcely have heard of?
48882But will this mystery and misery never end?
48882But you have not always been blind?
48882But you say that Marion was with Vera?
48882But your curious expression----"What is curious about my expression?
48882By the cruel foe, Marion? 48882 Can you let me out here, or shall I go by the same means that I entered?"
48882Can you manage to keep her afloat?
48882Can you not?
48882Can you see anything?
48882Could it have been the flowers?
48882Could we prove that the foe had had a direct hand in the tragedies of the past? 48882 Dare you open it?"
48882Dare you use it?
48882Darling,he whispered,"you know that I love you?"
48882Dear, do n''t you know that I am devoted heart and soul to your interests? 48882 Did I?"
48882Did Tchigorsky tell you?
48882Did n''t I always say as how he''d get through? 48882 Did she write to you?"
48882Did you call out?
48882Did you ever know me tell you a lie? 48882 Did you know that diary existed?"
48882Did you really love your mother?
48882Did you see her?
48882Do it? 48882 Do n''t you like that woman?"
48882Do n''t you see she is in the dark? 48882 Do you know anything of this?"
48882Do you know you seem to be a long way off to me this afternoon?
48882Do you mean that they perished with that stranger last night?
48882Do you recognize the voice?
48882Do you want anything more?
48882Do you want to say anything to me?
48882Do you want to see me?
48882Does it hurt much?
48882Does n''t it seem wonderful, Geoffrey?
48882Does she account for her presence here?
48882Does the slave reproach the master who keeps his carcass from the kennel?
48882Dr. Tchigorsky is still about?
48882Drowned, with a placid smile on his face, after the fashion of the novel?
48882Foiled her?
48882For Mrs. May''s benefit?
48882For revenge on you two?
48882Geoff, have you any suspicions?
48882Geoff, was it you who snatched the cloth from the table?
48882Geoffrey, Geoffrey, where are you?
48882Geoffrey,Vera said after a long pause,"are we too happy?"
48882Give you what, uncle?
48882Had n''t we better search them?
48882Have I not already explained to you, darling?
48882Have we not trouble and misery enough in our house without making more?
48882Have you been out to the west of Gull Point to- day?
48882Have you discovered it all?
48882Have you learned what the latest villainy is?
48882Have you seen her?
48882He was a very old friend of yours?
48882Hence the changed face and the glasses?
48882Horrible,he said,"but why this mystery?"
48882How can you look me in the face after the way in which you have treated me?
48882How could you prevent them?
48882How did it happen?
48882How did you get here? 48882 How did you get here?"
48882How did you get here?
48882How did you guess that?
48882How did you manage it, uncle?
48882How did you manage it?
48882How is the visitor?
48882How long can one endure this and live? 48882 How long has she been like this?"
48882How long have I been asleep?
48882How long will it last?
48882How long, how long? 48882 How should I?
48882How''s this for a disguise, Master Geoffrey?
48882I am so sorry for you?
48882I am to accompany you, then?
48882I am your prisoner, then?
48882I believe I have the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Ralph Ravenspur?
48882I hope you are comfortable?
48882I need not ask what opinion you have formed of me?
48882I suppose I have to thank Mrs. May for this?
48882I suppose they are a nuisance occasionally?
48882I suppose you can do no more to- night?
48882I suppose you planned everything out?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the ordinary bar- frame hives of course?
48882In what way?
48882In which direction?
48882Is anything going to happen?
48882Is it a fact?
48882Is it a painless death?
48882Is it as Jessop says?
48882Is it dangerous?
48882Is it possible to be too happy?
48882Is it you, Elphick?
48882Is my cousin Nicholas Tchigorsky? 48882 Is not my pulse steady?
48882Is that because you think my secret is a shameful one?
48882Is that you, Tchigorsky?
48882Is the coast clear?
48882Is the difference very marked?
48882Is there another mystery?
48882Is there any danger?
48882Is there any need to go on? 48882 Is there anything I can do for you?"
48882Is there anything in the morning papers that is likely to interest me, Abell?
48882Is there danger?
48882It is all right?
48882It was not possible for him to be picked up?
48882Lies just outside the window, does n''t he?
48882Marion has come back again?
48882Marion?
48882Marion?
48882May I assist you?
48882May I venture to suggest that the knowledge is not displeasing to you?
48882No more visions lately?
48882Now what am I to do?
48882Now, I put it to you as a lady of brains and courage, if you had been in my position, would you have shown that to your family?
48882Now, ca n''t you come up some evening and dine with me? 48882 Of course you ascertained her name?"
48882Of what use is a blind man?
48882Oh, so you know that also?
48882Oh, will you never wake up?
48882Oh, yes, uncle; are you a wizard or what? 48882 On the floor, my dear uncle?"
48882Read your fortune in the stars? 48882 See whom?"
48882Shall I go and see what it is?
48882So that we are rid of our foes at last?
48882So this is the Alton where you are going to- night?
48882So you have been successful?
48882So you have been taken into her confidence?
48882Solved?
48882Something has happened?
48882Something to do with it?
48882Straight to Jessop''s farm?
48882Tchigorsky has disappeared?
48882Tchigorsky not dead?
48882Tchigorsky?
48882Tell me what it means, Geoff?
48882Tell me what the language says?
48882That you propose to do?
48882The marks on my face? 48882 The princess is convinced of that?"
48882Then he has not been here to- day?
48882Then my friend Tchigorsky is alive?
48882Then the princess goes not back to Lassa?
48882Then they are usually dangerous?
48882Then who was it that was buried?
48882Then why did he come here?
48882Then why do you take every means of thwarting me?
48882Then why not drop upon them?
48882Then why should you worry?
48882Then you are not going to take any notice of the warning?
48882Then you have no theory to offer?
48882Then you have not guessed?
48882Then, in that case, sir, why do n''t you?
48882There is nobody about?
48882There is nobody within earshot of us?
48882There was one traveler who found the key, you remember?
48882They are great friends?
48882They guess I am a victim to the vendetta?
48882They managed to elude you?
48882Uncle Ralph, do you know what it is?
48882Uncle, how did you guess that?
48882Uncle,she stammered,"what are you doing here?"
48882Very,Geoffrey said dryly;"but where is Marion?"
48882Was it imported for the purpose?
48882Was she young and good looking?
48882Was that not so, Vera?
48882Wass and Watkins, will you come with me?
48882Well, I suppose I must go, too?
48882Well, was the adventure this evening creepy enough for you?
48882Well, what am I to do with it?
48882Well,Tchigorsky asked,"have you solved the problem?"
48882Well,he said,"have you anything wonderful to relate?"
48882Well?
48882Well?
48882Were you ever in Tibet?
48882What am I to understand by that, sir?
48882What are you doing?
48882What are you going to do with me?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you looking for?
48882What are you thinking about?
48882What became of the fellow?
48882What better proof could the slave of my illustrious mistress have?
48882What can an unfortunate like that have to live for?
48882What can it matter whether there is an inquest held on them or not? 48882 What could we gain by that?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did you think of the episode?
48882What difference does it make?
48882What do you make that out to be?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you propose to do?
48882What do you say, Uncle Ralph?
48882What do you with your gentle nature know of love? 48882 What does all this mystery mean?"
48882What does it all mean?
48882What does it matter?
48882What does it mean, Marion?
48882What does it mean, uncle?
48882What good would that do?
48882What have I done?
48882What is all this about?
48882What is her hold over Marion?
48882What is it, what is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is that choking smell?
48882What is that noise?
48882What is the confusion in the house?
48882What is the matter with the girl?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the next move?
48882What is your name?
48882What matter?
48882What shall you do about it?
48882What should be the matter?
48882What should they want? 48882 What should we do without you?"
48882What was she doing?
48882What will be her fate?
48882What would Vera say?
48882What''s the matter, little girl?
48882What, go away and leave me all alone, dearest?
48882What, indeed?
48882When does he come here?
48882Where am I?
48882Where are they going?
48882Where are you going to sleep?
48882Where are you going to take me?
48882Where are you going?
48882Where are you?
48882Where did I leave off? 48882 Where did I leave off?"
48882Where did she go?
48882Where have you been?
48882Where they are attached to a queer- looking instrument?
48882Who are you and whence do you come?
48882Who are you, and whence do you come?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who can she be?
48882Who could fail to?
48882Who did it?
48882Who gave you this, and what is your message?
48882Who is she?
48882Who is the new marvel?
48882Who is the woman? 48882 Who is there?"
48882Who knows but that she had discovered some plot against us and had come to warn us? 48882 Who laid this labyrinth?"
48882Who opened the window?
48882Who was it who tampered with the boat?
48882Who was the victim, uncle?
48882Who will help me upstairs? 48882 Why do n''t you denounce me now?"
48882Why do you drag me here?
48882Why do you intrude upon me like this? 48882 Why not produce your proofs and hand the miscreants over to the police?"
48882Why not? 48882 Why not?
48882Why not?
48882Why should they have fascinated us in that strange way? 48882 Why should we sit here like this?"
48882Why should you all live and prosper while he was dead?
48882Why should you do this thing?
48882Why your fault? 48882 Why?"
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Will it ever be lifted, sir?
48882Will it sound strange to you to hear that I long and yearn for you always; that I still love those whom I would have destroyed? 48882 Will she die?"
48882Will somebody ring the bell?
48882Will you tell him so? 48882 Wo n''t you tell me now?"
48882Wo n''t you tell me what has happened?
48882Woman?
48882Would she recognize us? 48882 Would the Ravenspurs outrage the sacred name of hospitality like that?
48882Yes, but what had the dream and the powder to do with it, little girl?
48882You are better?
48882You are getting near the truth?
48882You are going to London alone?
48882You are in Dr. Tchigorsky''s confidence?
48882You are interested in the Ravenspur case?
48882You are not afraid of the family terror?
48882You are sure you can not get up?
48882You are under the impression that I am not English?
48882You dare ask me that question?
48882You did not tell those servants their fortunes in your present garb?
48882You do not care for white flowers?
48882You find it strange?
48882You found her charming?
48882You got it, eh?
48882You had a good look at it, then?
48882You have found the culprit?
48882You have no hope, no expectation of the truth coming to light?
48882You have not given up all hope?
48882You have not guessed who the Princess is, then?
48882You have proofs of what you say?
48882You heard all this?
48882You heard her, then?
48882You knew the day you got here?
48882You say it is impossible for that woman to get away?
48882You say this is the place?
48882You wanted to see my father?
48882You wo n''t betray yourself?
48882You, Marion? 48882 ''Did you ever know a Russian traveler, Voski by name? 48882 ''Do you know her, too?'' 48882 ''Dogs, do you want to live?'' 48882 ''What are the five points of the temple there?'' 48882 ''What of him?'' 48882 Ah, what did I tell you? 48882 Am I always to carry the family troubles on my shoulders?
48882Am I never to have a minute to myself?
48882Am I not an object of pity?
48882Am I to believe that you are not going to be true to your oath?"
48882Am I to regard myself as a prisoner, then?"
48882And Marion?"
48882And how could he broach the matter of Tchigorsky without betraying Marion?
48882And how many times has Vera seen me kiss you?
48882And if I did lose you, darling, what would become of me?"
48882And now will you promise me that you will say nothing of this to a soul?"
48882And the others?"
48882And was not Marion equally mysterious?
48882And was she not here----here a guest among those who for some reason she hated from her soul?
48882And was this the wildest comedy or the direst tragedy that was working out before his eyes?
48882And what are you doing with that feminine- looking box?"
48882And what could the bees have to do with it?
48882And what did that light mean?
48882And where has the fellow gone?"
48882And where was Marion?
48882And why did everybody leave her so severely alone?
48882And why do they commit follies with their eyes wide open?
48882And why had Marion not returned?
48882And why should these people persecute him; why should they come here?
48882And why waste the breath that would be so precious to him later?
48882And yet where could he get the poison?
48882Any color?"
48882Are you going home?"
48882Are you going?"
48882Are you ready?"
48882Are you right?
48882Are you still suffering from a headache?"
48882Are you, Tchigorsky?"
48882But had Marion a sister?"
48882But how are we going to get rid of those things?"
48882But what are you doing?"
48882But what brings them here?
48882But what has Mrs. May to do with it?"
48882But what room did she go into?"
48882But where are you going?"
48882But who would believe my accusation?"
48882But why do you speak like this to- day?"
48882But why do you want to have that woman under the roof?"
48882But why go on like this?
48882But why not meet him in daylight in a proper and natural manner?"
48882But would n''t it be well to make sure?"
48882By the way, have you concocted a plausible story to account for your escape?"
48882By the way, what is it I hear about your finding a body down on the sands?"
48882CHAPTER LI"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?"
48882CHAPTER LVII HAND AND FOOT What did it mean?
48882CHAPTER XV RALPH RAVENSPUR''S CONCEIT"I should like to know why you wanted the ivory picture?"
48882CHAPTER XVII WHENCE DID THEY COME?
48882Ca n''t you tell me a little more?
48882Can the leopard change his spots?
48882Can you be any the worse because you are bound by some tie to that woman yonder?
48882Can you stand there calmly and see----""See you making an ass of yourself, eh?
48882Could I have the heart to do so after all you have done for my family?
48882Could I see one of those charming girls, Miss Vera or Marion?
48882Could she recognize me?"
48882Could the mind of man imagine a more diabolical torture?
48882Could we demonstrate to the satisfaction of a jury that Mrs. May and her confederates were responsible for those poisoned flowers or the bees?
48882Dear Geoff, will it be long before all this anxiety is disposed of?"
48882Did I not possess the occult knowledge of the East with a thorough knowledge of what you are pleased to call Western civilization?
48882Did I not tell you that the attempt had been made and had failed?
48882Did Ralph know everything, or was he as ignorant as the rest?
48882Did not Princess Zaza pick you both out at Lassa?"
48882Did the people of the castle suspect her?
48882Did this man know the terrible position he had placed her in?
48882Did you ever see Tibet bees?"
48882Did you hear anything they were saying?"
48882Did you manage to get a clue to what it was?"
48882Did you notice anything as you came along?"
48882Did you notice the eyes of the Princess?"
48882Do n''t we all love you the same?
48882Do n''t you remember my telling you how the princess spoke of him?
48882Do n''t you remember?"
48882Do n''t you see that they have missed me?"
48882Do n''t you think it was a queer thing?"
48882Do n''t you think that Jessop''s lodger must be a very extravagant kind of woman?"
48882Do n''t you understand that she suspects she has been trapped?
48882Do you know anything of this, I say?"
48882Do you know who the guilty creature is, whose hand is actually striking the blow?"
48882Do you mean to say you know what it is?"
48882Do you propose to make the capture to- night?"
48882Do you really mean that?"
48882Do you recognize anything beyond the legitimate perfume?"
48882Do you see anything else here?"
48882Do you suppose that I could ever forget the love and affection that have been poured upon me?
48882Do you understand what I mean?"
48882Do you want anything?"
48882Does he court defeat at the outset of our enterprise?"
48882Does it not seem funny to realize that before long we shall be laughing and chatting and moving with the world once more, Geoff?
48882Does it not sound strange?
48882Does my face tell you nothing?"
48882Geoffrey, are you indifferent to myself and my future that you speak like this?"
48882Geoffrey, you are fond of novel reading?"
48882Geoffrey, you will see that all proper arrangements are made for the funeral?"
48882Get inspiration from the heavenly bodies to combat the power of darkness?"
48882Grandfather, you would not turn him away?"
48882Had he left it in the dining- room or the library?
48882Had he not arranged it so that a score of savants in Europe should learn the truth within a month of his decease?
48882Had he not said that everything hinged upon her reticence and silence?
48882Had he not seen her return after the boat had been beached and mourn over the wreck like some creature suffering from deep remorse?
48882Had he not seen the girl hastening away from his boat?
48882Had her subordinates heard her cry?
48882Had not she a secret in common with Ralph?
48882Had she really seen this thing or had she dreamed it?
48882Had she said too much or did he suspect?
48882Had the affair miscarried and the miscreants got away in some other direction?
48882Had they fled, or had they been taken?
48882Had you not a daughter?"
48882Has Mrs. May a companion hidden somewhere, a companion who might be Marion''s sister?"
48882Has Vera been arguing with the bees again?"
48882Has anything happened here?"
48882Has the stuff any particular smell?"
48882Have I been mistaken in you, Vera?"
48882Have you a heart at all, or are you a beautiful fiend?"
48882Have you any doubt?"
48882Have you discovered that, Tchigorsky?"
48882Have you done that?"
48882Have you no feeling?"
48882He was poisoned, you think?"
48882How did he die?
48882How did he escape?"
48882How did it all happen?
48882How did you manage to deal him that blow on the head, uncle?"
48882How did you manage to get away, Geoffrey?"
48882How do you think my sketch is progressing?
48882How long are you going to detain me here?"
48882How long have you known her?"
48882How much did she know?
48882How much had she guessed?
48882How much more of this is it possible to bear and still retain the powers of reason?
48882How?"
48882I do n''t know whether you know the man-- his name is Tchigorsky?"
48882I suppose you recognized the risks that you ran?''
48882I will kill them off-- they shall die----""As my mistress slew her husband when his life was of no more value to her?"
48882If they had fled, had they removed the instruments with them?
48882Is Marion connected with her?"
48882Is it not strange that I have the seeds of the same complaint?"
48882Is it possible that he suspected anything?
48882Is there a fire laid here?"
48882Is there anything else?"
48882Is-- is it dangerous?"
48882Jessop?"
48882Marion, where are your tender feelings?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882Mr. Ravenspur, surely you have guessed who was the English officer Princess Zara married?"
48882Need I say more?"
48882Now do you understand what it all means?"
48882Now, do you begin to understand the malignity of the plot?
48882Or was he the poor creature he represented himself to be?
48882Ralph, can you induce your father and the whole family to go away for a time-- say till after dark?"
48882Ralph, do you know anything?"
48882Ralph, everybody has retired?"
48882Ralph, what is it?
48882Ravenspur, are you ready?"
48882See, is there blood on this knife?"
48882Shall I see your father?"
48882Shall I tell you how?"
48882Shall we enlighten Master Geoffrey a little as to the kind of woman she is?"
48882Shall we go to bed?"
48882Shall we see if we can get as far as Sprawl Point and back before luncheon?"
48882She was trapped, eh?"
48882She wrote to you, of course?"
48882So Tchigorsky is in danger, eh?
48882Surely her grief must be beyond the common?
48882Surely, you do not need to be told why you are detained?"
48882Tchigorsky?"
48882Tell me, do you ever see this Mrs. May by any chance?"
48882They had something with them?"
48882To strike him down foully had been too dangerous, for had he not told her that he was prepared for that kind of death?
48882Was he dangerous enough to be removed?
48882Was he telling the truth, or was he spying on her?
48882Was it possible that some such horrible thoughts had crossed Marion''s mind?
48882Was n''t it plucky of her?"
48882Was she entirely in the dark as to her mother''s machinations, or had she come resolved to protect the relatives as much as possible?
48882Was she still in the vaults or had she managed to slip away to her bedroom?
48882We are alone?"
48882Well, are you going to convey us to a place of safety, or shall we shoot you like the others?''"
48882What am I saying?"
48882What are they going to do now?"
48882What are you going to do about it?"
48882What are you to me?"
48882What are you?
48882What can Marion''s queer ancestors and all that kind of thing have to do with our family terror?"
48882What could have become of him?
48882What could it mean?
48882What could the mysterious foe hope to gain by this merciless slaughter?
48882What did it mean, what strange mystery was here?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did the other girl wear?"
48882What did this girl know about him, and why did she stand wailing over his boat?
48882What did those men mean by drowning themselves in the vaults?
48882What do we know of them?
48882What do you make of it, uncle?"
48882What do you mean?''
48882What do you see outside?"
48882What does it matter what I do?"
48882What flowers?"
48882What had become of the coat and glass mask she was wearing at the time things went wrong in Geoffrey Ravenspur''s room?
48882What happened?"
48882What has become of her?"
48882What have I to fear now from those wise men of the East?
48882What have you two been quarreling about?"
48882What next?
48882What should we do without her?"
48882What should we do without you?
48882What should we do without your cheerfulness and good advice?
48882What time is it?"
48882What to do next?
48882What use is the Ravenspur property to us when we are doomed to die?"
48882What was going on?
48882What was going to happen next?
48882What was it?"
48882What was it?"
48882What was the use of calling so long as nobody could hear him?
48882What would the estimable Jessop say if he could see into his parlor?"
48882When we get Voski''s body, what shall we do with it?"
48882Whence come these cruel misfortunes?
48882Where are the bees?"
48882Where are those scripts?''
48882Where are you going, dear?"
48882Where are your proofs?"
48882Where had he heard a laugh like that before?
48882Who can help the wayward driftings of a woman''s heart?
48882Who could connect the poor blind man with the deed?
48882Who did it?"
48882Who is it?"
48882Who shall comprehend the waywardness of a woman''s heart?
48882Who was this man who knew so much and could probe her secret soul?
48882Who, then, is the prime mover in this business?"
48882Why are clever people often so foolish?
48882Why do we never hear of that sort of poison nowadays?"
48882Why do you feel for things in that way?"
48882Why does she do it, Tchigorsky?"
48882Why draw the veil aside when even a few hours''peace stood between them and the terror which sooner or later must sap the reason of every one there?
48882Why had his uncle and the mysterious Tchigorsky taken him so far into their confidence and then failed him at the critical moment?
48882Why had she not thought of this before?
48882Why not end her life now?
48882Why not kill off her husband''s family one by one so that finally the estates should come to her?
48882Why not let them enter and then take them all red- handed?"
48882Why should I go on leading my present life?
48882Why should I shield you?
48882Why should this blow fall after the lapse of all these years?
48882Why should you say that?"
48882Why was there all this commotion in the house?
48882Why, then, should Marion be disturbed?
48882Why, then, should her good name be dragged in the mire?
48882Why?
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Will you please take the letter without letting anybody know what you are doing, and put it at the foot of the big elder in the tangle?
48882Will you, dear?"
48882Wo n''t you do this thing?
48882Wo n''t you say that it is a sudden whim of yours?
48882Wonderfully artistic, is n''t it?"
48882Would it never stop?
48882Would the time to act never come?
48882Would you have your enemies to guess that you have seen my master?
48882Would you like to see the letter?
48882Would you say that the condemned murderer was rash for attempting to pick the pocket of the gaoler, even for attempting to murder him?
48882Would you take pity upon my loneliness and come to tea?"
48882You are better, sir?"
48882You are not afraid of danger?"
48882You are not afraid?"
48882You are still interested in occult matters?"
48882You follow me?"
48882You have not far to go, of course?"
48882You have sent him somewhere, uncle?"
48882You hear?"
48882You know nothing of the boy?"
48882You know why I am here?"
48882You would n''t think she was a woman whose heart is in a weak state, eh?"
48882You would not reproach me, Ben Heer?"
48882Your friend here?"
48882can you hear anything?"
48882is there no mercy for us?"
47874A present?
47874After all, Caroline, is not your dissatisfaction with the laws of nature?
47874And I must tell the Devil that there is a higher life than the bread- life?
47874And Mr. Henderson,said she,"may we depend on you, too?"
47874And are these Van Arsdels in that frivolous set?
47874And are you sure of that in this case, Pussy?
47874And deliver the distressed damsel?
47874And does Ida continue gracious?
47874And does not mine? 47874 And have they anything to say worth hearing in any of the four?"
47874And how much of a house do you think that would buy?
47874And if they do n''t succeed,said Eva,"then I suppose that we shall lose millions-- is that it?"
47874And may I presume to ask now who it is?
47874And pray now, for curiosity''s sake, how did you manage it?
47874And pray, fair ladies, how much is''well enough?''
47874And pray, my dear Sir, what will you get into?
47874And she''s engaged to-- whom did you say?
47874And so you get up little personal legends, myths, about this or that man?
47874And suppose some of them should love some_ man_, or woman, more than gold or silver, and choose love in place of money?
47874And suppose that she were that sort of woman who did not wish to marry at all?
47874And tell her sweetly and politely, with all ruffles and trimmings, that it is none of her business?
47874And what gave you force?
47874And what if I had tried, and become certain that it was of no use?
47874And what is the use,I went on,"of general moral preaching that is never applied to any particular case?"
47874And what sort of a man is he?
47874And when shall it be?
47874And who would think of counting the money spent in hospitality?
47874And why ca n''t you invest in a boy of your own?
47874And why so? 47874 And will Susie be in it?"
47874And you and Miss Eva Van Arsdel are going to join hands and play''Babes in the Woods''?
47874And you are not in the least afraid of having it said,''The Hendersons are odd?''
47874And you did n''t have the fear of your gentility before your eyes?
47874And you find them--?
47874And you really think that they wo n''t put this article in?
47874And you think it right,said I,"to use up character just as you do boot- blacking to make your boots shine?
47874And you told her that we did n''t want any of them?
47874And, Aunty, what do you suppose would happen to me if I should wear quillings when THEY do n''t?
47874And_ this_ lady?
47874Are n''t you well?
47874Are these papers rivals?
47874Are they to_ process_"through the house and see your blue room, and your pink room, and your guest chamber, and all?"
47874Are you sure,I said,"that you consult for Caroline''s best happiness in doing as you have done?"
47874Bless my soul, man, why arn''t you dressing? 47874 Bolton, can you say so if there is one that loves you?"
47874Bolton,I said, imploringly,"why will you sacrifice yourself and her?
47874Boys, what''s all this fuss?
47874But Eva,said Aunt Maria,"if you would n''t fancy such a match as Wat Sidney, who would you?
47874But are you firmly resolved never to marry?
47874But between people like you and me, Harry?
47874But may not your silence and apparent neglect and indifference have given pain?
47874But me you could tolerate? 47874 But what does a woman promise when she promises at the altar to obey?"
47874But what shall we do with the_ Ladies''Cabinet?_"O, we''ll manage it among us. 47874 But what''s the use of society, mamma?"
47874But why specially for the_ Christian Union?_says Mr. Chadband.
47874But would not your father consent?
47874But you thought you had come to a place where amiability ceased to be a virtue?
47874But, I thought, Jim, you talked the other night as if you could get any of them you wanted?
47874But, Ida, do n''t you think it would be a great deal better if we would all begin now to economize, and live very differently? 47874 But, Jim, is it the fair thing to do when you do n''t know the truth of the story?"
47874But, can we put it up?
47874But, mother, ai n''t you sure? 47874 But, now,"said I,"as the final result of all this, will you help Caroline?"
47874But, really, Bolton, do n''t you think that it is treating our modern society as children, to fall in with this extreme fashion of story- telling? 47874 But, then, Ida, you see it goes against the Bible, does n''t it?"
47874But,said Eva,"how can they bear the scandal of this disgraceful trial?
47874But,said I, anxiously, to Jim,"do you suppose that we''re going to be exposed to the visits of this young woman?"
47874But,said I,"is it possible, Jim, that this is a respectable woman?"
47874But,said Ida,"do n''t you think it very difficult to mark the line where these services and offerings to religious worship become excessive?"
47874Caroline,I said,"do you give up entirely wrestling with the angel?"
47874Caroline,I said,"if you might have exactly what you want, what would it have been?"
47874Correspond? 47874 Demand?
47874Did it never occur to you that I_ could n''t_ take her if I were to try?
47874Did n''t I tell you we''d see each other again?
47874Did you ever try to tell your father how you feel?
47874Do I?
47874Do n''t you know at once? 47874 Do n''t you think it is a confounded take- in?"
47874Do n''t you think it will be a nice thing?
47874Do n''t you want to sit on our side?
47874Do you believe in bowing to the altar?
47874Do you know them?
47874Do you know, Harry,said my wife to me, one evening when I came home to dinner,"I have made a discovery?"
47874Do you know,I said,"that this expresses exactly what a poet wants?
47874Do you think I have any chance with your parents?
47874Do you think so?
47874Do you? 47874 Does your head ache?"
47874Early marriages?
47874Eh, Jenny, what now?
47874Eva? 47874 Exactly, Ida; and in those far- off regions, sixteen million billion ages ago, why should n''t I?
47874For how long?
47874For the present, then, it is agreed that we are to be married_ generally_ in the month of June?
47874From what authority?
47874Get what off?
47874Girls, what are going to be worn for hats this spring? 47874 Go on, Aunty,"said Alice,"what next?"
47874Hal, why do n''t you talk?
47874Hallo,said I,"what have we here?
47874Have you got a foundling hospital here?
47874Have you no discrimination? 47874 Have you seen the paper?"
47874Have_ you_ subscribed to it, Mr. Van Arsdel?
47874Henderson,said Bolton to me, one day,"how long are you engaged on the_ Democracy?_""Only for this year,"said I.
47874How did you do it?
47874How do you like that young Henderson?
47874How is the brightest star of womanhood-- the Northern Light; the Aurora Borealis; the fairest of the fair? 47874 How little we dreamed it then,"she said,"and that reminds me, sir, where''s my glove that you stole on that occasion?
47874How many have you made, aunty?
47874How so?
47874How?
47874How_ do_ you always get so dirty, Harry?
47874How_ do_ you keep so clean?
47874I am to regard it, then, as a special piece of good fortune, sent to_ me_?
47874I am to understand, then,said I, forcing a smile,"that Miss Eva''s engagement with Mr. Sydney is a settled fact?"
47874I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? 47874 I mean, why ca n''t Susie and I be married now?
47874I say, Hal, do you want to get acquainted with any of the P. G.''s here in New York? 47874 I say, Miss Alice,"said Jim,"do you go to confession up there?
47874I suppose,said I,"there is no making her comprehend the resources we have in each other-- our love of just this bright, free, natural life?"
47874I want to know, Mr. Henderson,he said,"if you are a subscriber for the_ Emancipated Woman_, the new organ of the Woman''s Rights party?"
47874If the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?
47874If you could n''t, who could?
47874Indeed? 47874 Is Jim going?"
47874Is it any more public than waltzing at the great public balls?
47874Is it possible,he said,"that the charlatan has been trying to get hold of you?
47874Is n''t it really amusing to see the grandfatherly concern that Bolton has for our cooking- stove?
47874Is n''t that lovely?
47874Is the gentleman handsome?
47874It certainly is n''t pretty, but who cares?
47874It is rather an uncertain one, is n''t it?
47874It is vexatious, darling, but then as you ca n''t do anything about it why think of it?
47874Jim, is that the square thing?
47874Jim?
47874Let me see your boots, Harry?
47874Miss Van Arsdel,said I,"do you remember the lines of Longfellow:''I shot an arrow through the air?''"
47874My dear Mrs. Van Arsdel, is it possible that anything has been said?
47874My mother?
47874No such thing,I persisted, hardily,"Why do you immure yourself in a den?
47874No? 47874 Nonsense, Aunt, what has that to do with papa?"
47874Nor he, either?
47874Not in love, then?
47874Now, Mr. Henderson, misery loves company; has she been to your room?
47874Now, really and truly, girls, are you going to the early services this Lent? 47874 Of what earthly use?
47874Oh my dear child, yes; how can you think of such a thing? 47874 Oh, Harry, why could n''t he marry and be as happy as we are?"
47874Oh, Mr. Henderson, do you believe in women''s rights?
47874Oh, because-- why, I think it''s dreadful; do n''t you?
47874Oh, but how can you?
47874Oh, tell me, Miss Van Arsdel, if_ I_ may hope for success in making the same effort?
47874Oh, well-- they are speaking other people''s words; but their own?
47874Oh, you know!--this inextricable puzzle-- what does ail a certain person? 47874 Pardon me,"said I, maliciously,"since you are acquainted with the lady, why not write and offer it yourself?
47874Please, ma''am,said Susan, glibly,"may n''t Henry go out to play with the girls?
47874Poor Stumpy,said Bolton,"you do n''t know that you are the homeliest dog in New York, do you?
47874Right or wrong?
47874Seems to me, Jim, you are pushing your fortunes in that quarter?
47874Shall I turn my back on you and read the newspaper? 47874 So there is real juice in hot- house grapes; but if I should have a present of a hot- house to- morrow, what should I have to run it with?
47874That is true,she said, frankly;"but I confess it never occurred to me; yet do n''t you think it harder to be heroic in every- day affairs?"
47874Then would it not be better for Caroline to summon courage to tell her father exactly how she feels and views his course and hers?
47874Then you really do prefer them yourself?
47874There ca n''t be anybody else in the case, can there?
47874There now,said my wife,"do you remember my portfolio of cheap Neapolitan prints?
47874There,she said, turning to me, with a frank smile,"am I not right?"
47874To climb-- to what?
47874To what purpose,I thought to myself,"should I call there, or pursue the vision into its own regions?
47874Treat him in what way?
47874Well, Eva dear, where''ll you find such a man?
47874Well, Harry, where next?
47874Well, Jim,said I,"I want to just ask you, do you think this sort of thing is right?"
47874Well, Nelly,said Aunt Maria,"how did you think things looked yesterday?"
47874Well, Princess?
47874Well, and what does she tell you?
47874Well, dear, what is it?
47874Well, did you run in and fall on her neck?
47874Well, do you know I managed my last interview with Sydney with reference to that? 47874 Well, have n''t I six thousand dollars, all my own, that grandma left me?"
47874Well, mercy on us, child, do n''t be in a passion about it,said Aunt Maria,"you''ve got your letter, have n''t you?
47874Well, when is it to come off? 47874 Well,"said Bolton, quietly,"did you never see a woman who thought she was handsome, when she was not?
47874Well,said Eva, flushing,"was n''t it a_ man_ that wrote that?
47874Well,said I,"about this letter?"
47874Well,said I,"about this reception?"
47874Well,said I,"is n''t he better out than in?"
47874Well,said I,"is n''t it just here that your principle of living out a Gospel should come?
47874Well,said I,"what is this great discovery?"
47874Well,said I,"why not a woman President, as well as a woman Queen of England?"
47874Well,said Ida,"who is it that says,''Be not conformed to the world''?"
47874Well? 47874 Well?"
47874Were you told of this?
47874What are they?
47874What are you about? 47874 What can it be then?"
47874What do you call your profession?
47874What do you mean, child?
47874What do you think Old Soapy has engaged Hal for?
47874What if I had found him, mother-- or thought I had?
47874What is all this that you are talking about?
47874What is that?
47874What sort? 47874 What''s all this?"
47874What''s the matter with them?
47874What, Ida''s admirer?
47874What, for example?
47874What_ is_ a man to do under such circumstances? 47874 What_ is_ that business?
47874What_ should_ I have done?
47874Where is she? 47874 Where''s your mother?"
47874Whether I love him or not, mamma?
47874Who has n''t? 47874 Who is appreciative and many- sided enough to guide the first efforts of genius just coming to consciousness?
47874Who is he?
47874Who is talking about marrying for money? 47874 Who knows?"
47874Who knows?
47874Who says I could n''t, man? 47874 Who says there is n''t happiness on earth?"
47874Who wants to marry him, I should like to know? 47874 Who''s old''Mam''?"
47874Who, Miss Ellery? 47874 Who, for example?"
47874Why Eva, child, not gone to bed yet? 47874 Why do you take it for granted that you are to be a literary monk, and spend your love on dogs and cats?"
47874Why does Ida do that?
47874Why have n''t I the arm of a blacksmith? 47874 Why is n''t she married, then?"
47874Why not as well as in private?
47874Why not? 47874 Why not?
47874Why not? 47874 Why so?"
47874Why, dear,she said,"do n''t you know your father is a poor man, and has hard work to support his children now?
47874Why, do you mean to go to Boston?
47874Wo n''t it be jolly when all the girls are like her? 47874 Would it not, then, be her right to choose her course without his consent-- and against it?"
47874Would you dare take the responsibility of bringing any two together?
47874Yea, verily,said my uncle;"but do you mean to keep faithful to that?
47874Yes, of course,said she, wondering,"but what has this to do with this wine question?"
47874Yes,said I;"what could be more apparently useless than a mere perfume, losing itself in the air, and vanishing entirely?
47874You can tell me how that happened, I suppose?
47874You do n''t tell me,said I,"that you have begun to cultivate acquaintances on this street, so far from the centers of fashion?"
47874You do really think so?
47874You have never told your heart to my mother?
47874You mean an attachment?
47874You talk as if it was no matter what became of her--"What, the baby? 47874 You think we are not liberal?"
47874You told her about it, then?
47874You would n''t want me to be so negligent of''that pretty girl,''that some other gentleman would feel a disposition to befriend her?
47874_ Have you got a foundling hospital here?_] I resolved, therefore, to go up to Bolton''s room and put this letter into his hands.
47874_ Obey_, Harry, is n''t that a droll word between you and me? 47874 ''All the world is expecting to hear some news of Miss Eva,_ should_ we soon have an opportunity of returning congratulations?''
47874( Enter Alice with empressement):"Girls, what do you think?
47874( with some slight exceptions)--to what happy accident are we to attribute this meeting?"
47874A wedding journey,--what is it?
47874Absurd?
47874After all, Harry, who can help liking Jim?
47874Am I quite spoiled, do you think-- past all redemption?"
47874And can not you imagine that a man may think himself a philanthropist, when he is only a worshiper of the golden calf?
47874And do n''t you think, Ida, that I should make a good manager?
47874And here''s a letter from Will which says,''Why did n''t father tell us before?
47874And how are we to get that?
47874And if the young and unreflecting will read stories should n''t some of the thoughtful and reflecting make stories for them to read?"
47874And is it not perhaps so?
47874And now as they want this sort of thing, why not give it to them?
47874And now, Hal, what can I do for you?
47874And now, my dear Eva, have you any more orders, counsels, or commands for the fateful to- morrow?"
47874And so do n''t you think you had better go to your room and go quietly to sleep?"
47874And then''My dear, wo n''t you see to this?''
47874And then, do n''t the Bible say,''Blessed are ye when men persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you?''"
47874And was all this acting and insincerity?
47874And what sort of a brazen tramp of a woman would it be that could stand it, and come out of it without being killed?
47874Anything in this line?
47874Apes!--of all things-- why not some more respectable animal?
47874Are n''t they superb?"
47874Are rubies found without looking for them, and do diamonds lie about the street?
47874Are sashes and bows, and neck ribbons and tiny slippers and gloves to give way to thick- soled boots and buckskin gauntlets and broadcloth coats?
47874Are there no other condiments for seasoning stories besides intrigues, lies, murders, and adulteries?
47874Are these to be taken lightly and unadvisedly?
47874Are we any better than you were?"
47874Are you sure that I am the one for you?"
47874Arn''t you going up to the garden of Eden with me to night, to see the woman, and the serpent, and all that?"
47874As to the little house, there''ll be the less care to keep it; and as to its being on an unfashionable street, what do I care for that?
47874As we were walking home after spending an evening, Ida asked me:"Now, Mr. Henderson, what do you think of it?"
47874At last, he drew a long breath, and said,"Well, Hal, what was it you wanted to talk about?"
47874Away back in Solomon''s time, it''s written,''Who can find a virtuous woman?
47874Besides, if there is somewhere hid away in my brain and blood the seed of this fatal mania, shall I risk transmitting them to a helpless child?
47874Besides, the writer who aspires to influence society must know society; and how can one know society unless one studies it?
47874Bless its little heart, has it got its rights yet?
47874But come, Harry, this is the last evening now, and do you know I''ve some anxiety about our little programme to- morrow?
47874But how few there are who make money, who do not sacrifice their spiritual and nobler natures to do it?
47874But how to break it off without an explanation, and how make that explanation?
47874But no,"Mamma, must n''t Harry go to bed?"
47874But really, mother, if pa is embarrassed, why do we live so?
47874But seriously, Ida, is not it curious about this marriage matter?
47874But was it Ida who was my inspiration?
47874But when people set out as a first requisite that the man_ must_ be rich, how many are the chances of finding that?
47874But when?
47874But, Ida dear, is it really true, do you think, that papa is troubled in his business?"
47874Can it really be that I have let it lie almost a year, hoping, meaning, sincerely intending to answer it, and yet doing nothing about it?
47874Can you do it?
47874Can you have a real friendship for a person and enjoy his society, and not care in the least whether you have it or not?
47874Come round and take a smoke with me, this evening, wo n''t you?
47874Confess?''
47874Correspondingly to this, Mrs. Van Arsdel, her next sister, was one who said habitually,"What would you do, and how would you do it?"
47874Could I trust myself enough to feel that it was justice to her?
47874Dear me, she patronized me within an inch of my life; and''How are your dear girls?''
47874Did he come down handsomely on the terms?"
47874Did it want to drink and smoke?
47874Did n''t I seek out his ball, did n''t I pursue it, beat it back from wickets, come on it with most surprising and unexpected shots?
47874Did you ever read Jean Ingelow''s_ Songs of Seven_, Mr. Henderson?
47874Did you never see a man who thought he was witty, when he was only scurrilous and impudent?
47874Did you never see people who flattered themselves they were frank, because they were obtuse and impertinent?
47874Do I find myself in love?
47874Do n''t it, Stumpy?"
47874Do n''t this look like the old''keeping- room''style?"
47874Do n''t you read your Bible?
47874Do n''t you see the logical consistency?
47874Do n''t you think it rather stupid, reading letters?"
47874Do n''t you want to go with me and see?"
47874Do these creatures suppose we do n''t see their eyes, and fancy that they conceal their feelings?
47874Do those vows mean anything?
47874Do you know I used to have such worries of mind about that cousin?
47874Do you know I wish there were convents that one could go out of the world into?
47874Do you know the steps of getting engaged?"
47874Do you know what I think the prettiest story of courtship I ever read?
47874Do you know, Harry, I used to think you were engaged to this cousin of yours?
47874Do you know, Harry, what is my greatest hope for this State?
47874Do you know, Ida,--(I rather guess you''ll laugh)--that I brought home his gloves and mended them this very evening?
47874Do you suppose that the care of all the house and dairy, the oversight of all my father''s home affairs, is no drudgery?
47874Do you think you could go through with the whole of it?"
47874Do you want anything?
47874Does not Jesus Christ say,''Gather up the fragments that nothing be lost''?
47874Does not the immortal Shakespeare say,''She is a woman; therefore to be won''?
47874During my last year, the question"What are you good for?"
47874Fellows?"
47874G.''s?"
47874Girls, is n''t he dreadful?"
47874Going to try the ministry?"
47874Had it troubled their faith?
47874Had not every gentleman of her acquaintance, since she could remember, told her this with regard to herself?
47874Had she discovered the state of my feelings, and was she, through her mother, warning me of my danger?
47874Had there been reports?
47874Hal-- who do you guess is engaged?"
47874Harry, what do you think?
47874Have n''t I made good use of them?"
47874Have n''t you heard of her?"
47874Have you seen an article in the"_ Milky Way_"on the"Women of our Times,"taking the modern radical ground?
47874He evidently thinks I do n''t know it; and, Belle-- what should_ you_ think about it?
47874He said it about a basket of bread; would n''t he say it still more about the fragments of the human soul?
47874He shall be free to go; but is n''t it vexatious that in cases of this kind one can not put an end to the tragedy by a simple common- sense question?
47874Henderson?"
47874How came we by them?
47874How could she always be so clean, so trim, and every way so pretty, I wondered?
47874How could they be happy or good that had not my fortune?
47874How did he grow so strong?
47874How do ye say, Old Man of the Mountain, will you go?"
47874How do you say-- shall you go, Wednesday?"
47874How many could profitably have advised Hawthorne when his peculiar Rembrandt style was just forming?
47874How much of all these books is inspired?
47874How would you like to be treated so yourself?"
47874I assumed an innocent air and surveyed him"_ de haut en bas_"and said,"Why, dear me, Mr. Henderson, possible that_ you''ve_ been here all this time?
47874I long for_ visible_ unity-- and do you think, Mr. Henderson, we could unite in_ more_ beautiful forms than ours?"
47874I mean to do all that I ought to; but how to know what?
47874I purpose whenever I marry to make a very good, and even dutiful wife; must I not vow obedience, and shall I break my marriage vow?
47874I said I did n''t love him, and they said I had n''t tried; that I_ could_ love him if I only made up my mind to, and why would n''t I try?
47874I say, Hal, how did you get it off?"
47874I secretly wished the noble fellow at Kamtschatka, but I said, in sympathetic tones,"Ah, indeed?"
47874I see--""Who are these Van Arsdels, Jim?"
47874I think she touches so beautifully on the trials of mothers in giving up their daughters?"
47874I''m your flying- artillery-- all over the field everywhere, pop, and off again; and what is it to you what I do?
47874Ida, do you think it would be right and just in me to let him take such an inefficient body as I am?
47874If he has, why does n''t he ask me about it?
47874If he would"ask me pretty,"now, who knows what nice things he might hear?
47874If she leaves Pat, where will he go to?
47874If the man is to be the head of the woman, even as Christ is the head of the Church, should he not be her equal, at least, in purity?
47874If_ she_ liked me, what matter about the rest?
47874In one case certainly I asked myself why I did n''t?
47874In the first place; what''s Old Soapy going to give you?"
47874Instead of men being a_ fallen_ race, they are a_ rising_ race, and never so high as now; and then, what becomes of the Garden of Eden, and St. Paul?
47874Is it not evident why, O beloved?
47874Is it not strange that the Greek fable should have a real counterpart in the midst of our modern life?
47874Is it right?
47874Is n''t it a shame that we laugh?
47874Is n''t it blissful, now?"
47874Is n''t it horrid?
47874Is n''t it just like him?"
47874Is n''t it lovely?"
47874Is n''t it worth while to be able to give such perfect bliss in this world at so small an expense?
47874Is n''t she a case?
47874Is n''t that kind?
47874Is n''t that sort of Arcadian, now?"
47874Is n''t this a dreadfully dull book, Ida?"
47874Is n''t your magazine strong enough to lead and form public taste instead of following it?"
47874Is not that firm in human nature which stands under the title of MY WIFE AND I, the oldest and most venerable form of Christian union on record?
47874Is there a Father in the heavens?
47874Is there a better life beyond?
47874Is there not something essentially unwomanly in it-- something humiliating?
47874Is there not something to be said on the importance of training men to be husbands?
47874Is there stability enough in him?"
47874Is there then substance in shadow?
47874Is this the way I ought to marry?
47874It is almost an involuntary thing, on such occasions, to exclaim,"Who is this?"
47874It is n''t anything against Bolton?"
47874It is really in contemplation among them to reduce it to a level as ordinary and prosaic as it occupies among us men, heavy- footed sons of toil?
47874It is true there are cheap little houses in New York, but where, and on what streets?
47874It was rather awkward, was n''t it?
47874It''s rather funny, is n''t it-- an adventure in prosaic old New York?
47874Jim,"said I,"who, and what is this creature?"
47874May the troubles of life be our discipline?
47874Now do n''t you hope she''ll get engaged to him?"
47874Now, Harry, are you going to try for that?"
47874Now, Ida, you know all that took place between Mr. Henderson and me yesterday in the Park; we are engaged, are we not, as much as two people can be?"
47874Now, do you think it would be right for me?
47874Now, is n''t that pretty?
47874Now, shall I persuade her to let him go to the devil?
47874Of what avail would it be under such circumstances to plead that I loved her for herself alone?
47874On the other hand, as the little bit of enchanted pasteboard gently burned in my vest pocket, it said:"Why should you be rude?
47874One can not say, as to another woman,"What is the matter?
47874Only think, Eva, what if you should live on a street where ordinary people live?
47874Or had her father so harshly painted the picture of her lover that she had been led to believe him utterly vile and unprincipled?
47874Or was it that woman never even to herself admits that thought in connection with one who seems to have forgotten her?
47874Ought n''t she to part with him on their account?"
47874Ought we not thus to cherish the memory of that greatest event that ever happened in this world?
47874P. S.--My Dear-- A case of conscience!--Would it be a sin to flirt a little with Sydney, just enough to aggravate somebody else?
47874Papa, why do n''t you go on to the platform at the next Woman''s Rights Convention, and give them a good blast?"
47874Perhaps you would like to walk up and look at my books?
47874Religion?
47874Say, will you come round?"
47874Says she,''Do you men ever inquire into the character of people that you unite with to carry your purposes?
47874Shall I?"
47874Shall he engage in a personal scuffle?
47874Shall he himself vacate his apartment, or shall he call in a policeman?"
47874Shall it be so?"
47874Shall you meet her and renew your acquaintance?"
47874Should I go?
47874Should you want Alice to like him, supposing you knew that he would like her?
47874Since''riches make to themselves wings and fly away,''what is the sense of marrying a man whose main recommendation is, that he is rich?
47874So now tell me what are you thinking of setting yourself about?"
47874Suppose I come down into your room for awhile and talk?"
47874Suppose there''s a great boil on the left hand, what''s the right to do about it but simply bear the suffering and wait for it to get well?
47874Sydney?"
47874Sydney?"
47874Tell me, now, mamma dear, was pa a rich man when you married him-- I mean when you fell in love with him?"
47874The party that makes the proposals is the party that must take the risk of refusal, and who would wish to do that?
47874The woman question of our day, as I understand it is this.--Shall MOTHERHOOD ever be felt in the public administration of the affairs of state?
47874The world that we promise to renounce, that our sponsors promised that we should renounce-- what is it, and where is it?
47874Then first he wrestles with the question, What is life for, and what am I to do or seek in it?
47874There''s that new young man, that Henderson-- why do n''t we turn him to account?
47874These girls have the education of royal princesses, and all the habits and wants of them; and what could a fellow do with them if he got them?
47874They neither read, write, nor speak their French, Italian, or German-- and what is the use of having got them?
47874Think you''ll be as smart a man as your dad?"
47874To be sure, nothing is so important as the soul-- nothing is of so much moment as religion, and the question"Is this God''s book or is it not?"
47874To me it appears that in our day everything has got to be brought to the simple test of, What good does it do?
47874WHY DON''T YOU TAKE HER?
47874WHY DON''T YOU TAKE HER?
47874Was it because she had forgotten?
47874Was it possible that she might die?
47874Was it so?
47874Was it to make us such as we are that he thus lived and died?
47874Was she still in this world, or had this impossible, strange mirage of bliss risen like a mist and floated heavenward?
47874Was there anybody so fortunate as we?
47874Was this to be received as an intimation from Eva herself?
47874We wo n''t care, will we?"
47874Well, he was dead, was n''t he?
47874Well, then,"I resumed,"our wedding day shall be fixed, say for the 14th of June?"
47874Well, was n''t it odd that the fates should have thrown this hermit just in my way?
47874Were I even sure that Eva loved me, how could I do that?
47874What ails Eva?
47874What am I, and what is my father''s house, that I should go before my wife in anything?
47874What are all these girls and women looking for?
47874What are you doing here?"
47874What are you going to do about it?"
47874What are you thinking of?
47874What broke it off?"
47874What can be the matter there?
47874What can poor boots do?
47874What can there be in it so very bad?"
47874What could you ask more?
47874What did he engage you for?"
47874What did she mean, and how much did she mean?
47874What did we not talk about that is of interest in these stirring times?
47874What do they dread more than anything?
47874What do they know about it?
47874What do you say, Mr. Fellows?
47874What does he do?
47874What evidence have we that the record gives us Christ''s words uncorrupted?"
47874What ground does it cover?
47874What had she done, or altered, or made up, or arranged, as she always met me full of her subject?
47874What has Brown done?
47874What have n''t I done since you left?
47874What if the Van Arsdels should find it out?
47874What is inspiration?
47874What is it like?"
47874What is the matter with you?
47874What is the prize to be?
47874What is the reason, Hal, that you waste your forces in short sketches?
47874What is their history?
47874What opera is complete without its drinking chorus?
47874What reason can there be?"
47874What rent do you pay for yours?
47874What should I do that for?"
47874What time is it?
47874What was to hinder my going to the church and seeing her again?
47874What was to hinder my taking a look at fairy land in a purely philosophical spirit?
47874What woman''s Christian principles are adequate to support her under such trials?
47874What would he have said had he looked over a modern publisher''s catalogue?
47874What would mamma say if she knew I even thought of it?
47874What writer is insensible to such flattery as this?
47874What young fellow does not exult in a smart team when he has a girl whom he wants to dazzle?
47874What''s life good for if you ca n''t have your friends with you, and make people happy under your roof?"
47874What''s the use of a fellow''s shutting himself up with books?
47874When is the blissful day?"
47874Whence did she come?
47874Where can it be?"
47874Where did you know her?"
47874Where do you read?"
47874Where have you kept yourself?"
47874Where is that place in Carlyle?"
47874Where is the mature Christian who could bear with patience the interruptions and crosses in his daily schemes, that beset a boy?
47874Where, I ask, will you find a better one?--a wiser, a stronger, a sweeter, a more universally popular and agreeable one?
47874Who are you thinking of?
47874Who says modern New York life is prosaic?
47874Who wants a comic opera at a dollar a night when a family cat will supply eight kittens a year?
47874Who wants to be nothing in the great world?
47874Whose thoughts do not travel in this direction, I wonder, in a small country neighborhood?
47874Why could n''t I be?"
47874Why distract her with gew- gaws at the very moment when her heart must be so full of a new affection that she cares for nothing else?
47874Why do n''t we economize?
47874Why do n''t you make her separate from him?"
47874Why do you not boldly dash out into a serial story?
47874Why does n''t somebody of that sort come after me?
47874Why have n''t you told me before?"
47874Why is it?
47874Why is there a command in the Bible that wives should always obey?
47874Why not another marriage-- another home?"
47874Why not marry her now, and take her home to live with me?
47874Why should he?
47874Why should so much love go out in nothing?
47874Why should you do so?
47874Why should you put from yourself the joys that other men, not half so good as you, claim eagerly?
47874Why should you turn all the advantages into my hands, and keep so little for yourself?"
47874Why should_ she_ go into it?
47874Why were n''t you?"
47874Why wo n''t you go out into society?
47874Why, Harry Henderson, are your eye- teeth in such a retrograde state as that?
47874Why, what''s the matter?
47874Why?
47874Will he help us if we ask?
47874Will it?
47874Will you be barkeeper to the public, and when the public call for hot brandy sling give it to them, and help them make brutes of themselves?
47874Will you help to vulgarize and demoralize literature if it will pay?"
47874Will you only allow him the liberty to try and alter your feelings, and all that?
47874With all her fire, and all her softness, all her restless enthusiasms, her longings and aspirations and inconsistencies, what could he do with her?
47874Would it be any kind of a woman that we should want to see at the head of our government?
47874Would n''t it be jolly?
47874Yes, Stumpy, we''ll meet in the resurrection, wo n''t we?"
47874You began at the beginning and helped him up, did n''t you?"
47874You do n''t go to doubting Shakespeare at this time of day, I hope?"
47874You do n''t mean, of course, to intimate that Miss Ellery is_ not_ in love with the man she has married?"
47874You do n''t want them to be married?"
47874You go for the emancipation of woman; but bless you, boy, you have n''t the least idea what it means-- not a bit of it, sonny, have you now?
47874You remember those verses on"Fra Angelico"and the"Campanile,"do n''t you?
47874You see we must make a new home at once, you and I, is n''t it so?
47874You wo n''t go, Eva?"
47874[ Illustration:_ MATRIMONIAL PROPOSITIONS._"_ Early marriages?"
47874_ Do_ you think women ought to speak in public?"
47874_ Ida_, putting down her book and pen:"Well-- and what about?"
47874_ why_ do you say_ if?_""Because the danger is one I can not comprehend and provide for.
47874and besides?"
47874and do n''t they always misunderstand us?
47874and go out and meet him, and it''s"My dear fellow how are you?
47874and must I add to it the account of the wedding glories-- lists of silver and gold tea sets, and sets of pearls and diamonds?
47874and she could n''t marry him, but was that any reason why she never should marry anybody?
47874and was n''t his pastoral letter beautiful?
47874and was there any end to our subject- matter for conversation?
47874and what is that, pray?
47874and''My dear, have you seen to that?''
47874and''My dear, how many times must I tell you I do n''t like hot weather?''
47874and''My dear, what makes you let it rain?''
47874and''My dear, wo n''t you just step out and get me the new moon and seven stars to trim my bonnet?''
47874are you going to blow us up?
47874aunt,"said Eva uneasily,"what did you say?"
47874dear ignorant days-- sweet little child- Eden-- why could it not last?
47874did you suppose that the Boston correspondents, or any other correspondents, are there, or anywhere else in fact, that they profess to be?
47874do n''t you know me?
47874have n''t I as many fingers as your mother?
47874have you been to Madame De Tullerigs?
47874how_ could_ you find it out?"
47874if so, what?
47874is there any end to the conjurations of boys?"
47874is this you?"
47874said Eva,"I suppose there is no danger of one running to extremes in anything but religion-- in dress or parties for instance?"
47874said I,"what_ would_ the Van Arsdels think of us, if they should know that she had been in our company?"
47874said I,"why will women live with such brutes?
47874said Ida;"why have n''t you strength to do as you please?"
47874said Jim,"if you are going to begin with that, here in New York, where are you going to end--''Where do you''spect to die when you go to?''
47874said my mother, stopping her knitting, looking at me, while a smile flashed over her thin cheeks:"what''s the child thinking of?"
47874said one of them to me, when I had sat silent, pretending to read for a long time;"What do you think of her?"
47874she said,"did n''t I tell''em so?
47874the hell- fire colors?"
47874we will show them how things can be done, wo n''t we?"
47874well, my dear fellow, who knows or cares anything about truth in our days?
47874what are they?
47874what do you think?
47874what does he mean?"
47874what has altered your manner?"
47874what''s the use?
47874who gave that comical bronze inkstand?
47874why ca n''t I walk ten miles?
47874why do you make such a precious goose of yourself?"
47874why do you use that word, when I do n''t exact anything?
47874why have n''t you been round to our house lately?"
47874why not----?"
45038''Bain''t you going no further, Sir?'' 45038 ''Did you please to be looking for the Doctor, sir?''
45038''Long of Nelson?
45038''Now, you man of Perlycross,''he cried,''you that teach the boys, who are going to be grave- robbers,--is this true, or is it all a cursed lie?'' 45038 ''Passon''s not at home,''says I;''can us give any message?''
45038''Sergeant, what have you been doing here?'' 45038 ''Who are you?''
45038Absolve me from what, Crang? 45038 All settled?
45038And how did you leave Miss Fox?
45038And now, sir, what is it as I can do for you? 45038 And what come to t''other wan?"
45038And what did you do to him? 45038 And what do''e say to the weather, Cap''n?"
45038And what odds to our clodhoppers what they do? 45038 And who has done this inhuman thing?"
45038And who was the proper one, to see to that? 45038 And you did n''t like what was done to him, did you?"
45038Any one hurt? 45038 Anything gone wrong in Perlycross, since I went away, Mrs. Muggridge?
45038Are you aware what you are doing? 45038 Are you sure that you are right, my dear?"
45038Bain''t it Perlycrass Fair, come Tuesday next?
45038Blacksmith, what o''clock is it now?
45038But I suppose I may be at hand, and ready to give assistance, if called upon?
45038But are we to believe, Dr. Gronow,asked Christie,"that you came away, and left the poor man in that helpless state?"
45038But bless my heart-- what-- what?
45038But do n''t you think, Mrs. Gilham, it is chiefly his pride that supports him? 45038 But here it is of such extreme importance to get to the bottom of this matter; and if they escape, where are we?"
45038But how can you tell, sir? 45038 But how do you know that he has done it?
45038But how much longer before you will begin? 45038 But how will you go, my dear little Cayenne pepper?
45038But if his own mother condemned him, how-- I ca n''t put it into words, as I mean it-- how can she be in a wax with my mother? 45038 But is not it what a fair- minded person would consider rather selfish?"
45038But my dear, my pretty dear, how could I ever be fierce to you?
45038But the best way probably of getting at the coast, if you wished to avoid towns and villages? 45038 But there-- come to think of it, I be a fool for asking, and you always along of Passon so?"
45038But what am I to do, to help myself? 45038 But what could the fellow have wanted it for?"
45038But what do you want me there for, sir? 45038 But what says Cicero, or some other fellow that old Dr. Richards used to drive into my skin?
45038But when will that be? 45038 But where shall I see you next Sunday, my dear?
45038But who is it, mother? 45038 But why can it not be?
45038But why should n''t we tell Dr. Fox himself, and get him to come with us? 45038 But why should so wicked a thing be done-- so horrible even from a stranger?"
45038But why, Tom, why?
45038But you do n''t think it will kill her, Jemmy? 45038 But, mother dear, how did this suspicion grow upon you?
45038Can I ever call any man a fool again?
45038Can e''do it, Jack?
45038Can mother have forgotten what day it would be, when I should receive these cruel words?
45038Can you prove you were away, sir? 45038 Can you think that I do n''t understand you?"
45038Can''e take in sail? 45038 Come, sir?
45038Did ever you know me throw you over, Harvey? 45038 Did you tell Mr. Penniloe, you had been there, Master Hopper?"
45038Do you mean Sir Thomas Waldron? 45038 Do''e know why I done that?"
45038Do''e veel a bit better now, my dear? 45038 Examining my flies, are you, Reverend?
45038Father, fathery, how much colder is the tea to get?
45038Frank, how can you ask such a question? 45038 From Sir Thomas?"
45038Going far?
45038Gowler? 45038 Have I done wrong?"
45038Have you heard the last thing that has come to light about him?
45038He is a valuable man in the parish, I suppose-- comes to church regularly-- sets a good example?
45038Heard the news, have''e?
45038How are you, sir?
45038How can I ask them for another farthing, after what has happened? 45038 How can I tell you, my dear child, until I have had time to ask about it?
45038How can I tell? 45038 How could the meanest greed of money be gratified by such a deed?"
45038How is she now?
45038How was she, I mean? 45038 Hush, Jemmy, hush?
45038I suppose you know, sir, what bitter offence you are giving to hundreds of people all around?
45038I suppose you understand it, Mr. Penniloe, though your mind is so very much larger?
45038If a''could only see it so?
45038If that is a little stir, what would be a big one? 45038 If you please, sir, will you tell us what to do, when they fall upon us?"
45038If you please, sir, you do n''t believe, do you now, in all that they says about that Spring- heeled Jack? 45038 In the name of Heaven, what the devil do you mean?"
45038Is all I do to be always vain, and worse than vain-- destructive, hurtful, baneful, fatal I might say, to the very objects for which I strive? 45038 Is it come to this already?"
45038Is it for a fish to dictate to me, how I should employ my time? 45038 Is it such a dreadful thing to go to heaven?
45038Is that the law? 45038 Is there any truth in this?"
45038Is there no man to try a fall for Devonshire? 45038 Jem Crow said to his first wife''s mother, What right have you to be anybody''s brother?"
45038Let me see, how many years is it, since I cherished such illusions? 45038 Made up your mind to give up Nicie, because her brother disapproves of it?"
45038May she get up?
45038Meaning to say, as it have spoiled your trade? 45038 My dear friend,"Mr. Penniloe began, while the hand which he laid upon his friend''s was shaking,"may I say a word to you, as an ancient chum?
45038My dear, what would your dear father say, to hear you talk like that? 45038 My_ Ichthyophylax_?
45038No message, Binstock?
45038No reply, no reply yet?
45038No, father;Mrs. Fox always called him"father,"when a family council was toward;"how could he while you-- I mean why should he be in such a hurry?
45038Not a fit, Jemmy? 45038 Not a very lofty way for me to put it,"he reflected, while Zip was being cared for in the kitchen;"but what am I to do with that strange child?
45038Not to the repairs, sir? 45038 Now shall I tell you what to do, my dear?"
45038Now, did I say it, Parson Penniloe?
45038Of what use will it be? 45038 Oh do n''t I?
45038Oh here you are at last then, are you?
45038Oh how shall I dare to tell you who it is?
45038Oh sir, is it possible that you do n''t know what has happened?
45038Oh what can I do, Sergeant? 45038 Oh, Jemmy, how can you be so cruel, when every bit of it was for you?"
45038Oh, Passon is it? 45038 Oh, a gentleman, was it?
45038Oh, he is come, is he? 45038 Oh, you have learned that, have you, my dear?"
45038Others not come yet?
45038Outside the holy county, where this outrage was committed? 45038 Pancake day, bain''t it?"
45038Passon, be you a_ h_onest man?
45038Perhaps,replied the Parson, in a sad low voice, and with a shake of his head which meant--"all very fine; but how on earth am I to get the money?"
45038Rose, who are you to understand such things? 45038 See where his arm was?"
45038Sergeant, do you see any green in my eye?
45038She? 45038 Sorrow is sent to all of us, and doubtless for our good; and if we did not feel it, how could we be at all improved by it?
45038Tamar, do you mean what you say?
45038Thank you; can you tell me why it is n''t half- past ten? 45038 That''s how you take it, is it, Sir?"
45038Then if I understand aright, Lady Waldron, you wish me to drop all further efforts for the detection of those miscreants? 45038 Then vaither,"cried the child, rising to the situation;"whatt vor do''e putt both han''s avore the eyes of''e?
45038Then why did you do it, my dear child? 45038 Then why did you send for me, sir?"
45038Then why did you speak of it? 45038 Then you know what my mother said just now?
45038They call me a hedger and ditcher, do n''t they? 45038 This must be seen to at once,"thought Mr. Penniloe, when he had sent his jealous little pet away;"but what can I do with that poor deserted child?
45038To Zeiser shalt thou go?
45038To her native land?
45038To whom can I go? 45038 Uncle Penniloe,"she began, having thus entitled him in early days, and doing so still at coaxing times;"you will not think me a sly girl, will you?
45038Upon what do you go?
45038Vaither, do''e care to plaze your luving darter, as''e used to doo? 45038 Volunteers, be''e?
45038Well, and if I says no to it, what can''e do?
45038Well, if your parish can make all that noise, what would all three of them do together? 45038 Well, you are a doctor, are n''t you now?"
45038What aileth the man?
45038What be the vally of big arms and legs, when a chap dothn''t care to make use of''un?
45038What can Fay Penniloe show like that? 45038 What could our friend have seen in that vehicle of free- trade, to make him give that horrible account of its contents?
45038What could you desire more than that? 45038 What did''e hat me vor, like that?"
45038What do you mean, sir? 45038 What do you mean?"
45038What do you think of that now, Sergeant?
45038What does that matter? 45038 What else be I come for?"
45038What else have you been for the last five minutes? 45038 What has happened?
45038What hast thou brought us for, Timber- leg''d Dick?
45038What is a month, compared to you?
45038What is all this about?
45038What is he, that his opinions should be consulted? 45038 What is her loss, compared with mine?"
45038What is her name? 45038 What is it, my dear?
45038What is it, my dear?
45038What is the mammon of this world to heaven''s angels?
45038What is the time? 45038 What is to be done?"
45038What is to become of them? 45038 What makes you look at me in that way, Jumps?"
45038What makes you look so cross at me?
45038What o''clock is it, by that time- piece, if you please, Sir Henry Haggerstone?
45038What objection have you discovered, or somebody else found out for you? 45038 What odds to us about thy soul?
45038What on earth is it all about?
45038What use to help a man, who can not help himself?
45038What was the good of telling me all those stories, when I was a little thing, except for me to understand you? 45038 What will Nicie have to say about all this?
45038What''s the matter, Crang? 45038 What''s up now, in the name of goodness?
45038What, above its own business? 45038 What, the deuce, do you mean, Tom?"
45038What, the poor Colonel waiting, Miss, and I have kept you all this time? 45038 What?"
45038Whatever be us a''coming to?
45038Where be all agoing to? 45038 Where can that be?
45038Where is your difficulty? 45038 Who be you?"
45038Who have they got to thank for that? 45038 Who is he?
45038Who is supposed to have done this horribly wicked thing? 45038 Why does Dr. Gronow address nearly all his very excellent remarks to me?
45038Why, Christie, what on earth has brought you here? 45038 Why, Tamar, my dear, can it possibly be you?
45038Why, if it comes to argument, what chance have I against you? 45038 Will he die, because I am so wicked?
45038Will it ever be so, or is it all a dream, inspired by our longings, and our self- conceit? 45038 Will you give me your word, Uncle Penniloe, that you really believe you were sent for about that?"
45038Will you tell me, Chevithorne, upon what points you rely? 45038 Will''e stand to it, Joe, afore a Justice of the Peace?"
45038Wo n''t I though say''thank you''to him? 45038 Wo n''t it?
45038Wo n''t we though? 45038 Would you do that, if it were your own case?"
45038Wult have a zettler? 45038 You know Jemmy Fox pretty well, I think?"
45038You know without any words of mine----"Is it that you really love Sir Thomas, or only that you find him useful? 45038 ''Are you mad?'' 45038 ''I''ll make it good,''she said,''what''s the odds?'' 45038 ''Tis thy tongue we want, lad?
45038''What are you doing, Bob?''
45038''What dost lack?''
45038''What the---- are you doing with that wheel?''
450385?
45038A blot again?
45038A horse?
45038A nice set of---- fellows you are, are n''t you?
45038A''could n''t look more mazed and weist, if a hunderd ghostesses was after him?"
45038After all, I should like to know, what are your proudest landowners, but mere agriculturists by deputy?
45038Ah, what are we?
45038All they blessed constables, as has got their bellyful, and ever so many wise gen''lemen too, what do''e think''em be arter us for?
45038Am I afraid of my own dear dad?
45038Am I right in supposing that?"
45038Am I to wait all night for it?
45038An offering to the Lord_ in memoriam_--a proper view of chastisement; have you tried to work it up?"
45038And I found it out at last-- at last; and did n''t I have my revenge?
45038And after all, how can it matter, when it happened so long ago?
45038And again, why did Mr. Harvey Tremlett carry off that tool of his, which I found in the water?"
45038And did anybody ever see such cheeks, even with the pink flown out of them?
45038And entered in places conspicuous?"
45038And even if the miners should believe his tale, would they combine, to lay hands on brother workmen, and hand them over to the mercies of the law?
45038And for the rest, what do I care?"
45038And for what purpose-- if I may inquire-- was that man Quevedo sent to you?"
45038And how can the sun set in the east?
45038And how can you refuse it, when it is not for yourself?
45038And how did it end?
45038And how do you know that Tucker wo n''t go home without you?"
45038And how much more must it be so, in the business of other persons, which he doubts his right to meddle with?
45038And how''s your little Mike?
45038And if I do nothing to annoy her, or even to let her know of my presumption, what right have you to make a grievance of it?"
45038And if a noble Spaniard can stoop thus, why should not a common Englishman?"
45038And if anybody insulted her----""Who could insult her, in your own house?
45038And if he were a messenger, why should he come thus, unless there were something they wanted to conceal?
45038And if she likes to put a lower price upon herself, what right have you to stop her?"
45038And more than that, by ten o''clock on Fair- night, how will His Majesty''s true lieges be?
45038And somebody else perhaps?
45038And still more, because----""Well, Master Hopper, still more, because of what?"
45038And talking of upstart schools indeed, and new- fangled education, have you heard what the boys have done at Perlycross?
45038And then I find what?
45038And then what would become of me?
45038And this is what I get done to me?"
45038And what Justice of the Peace would issue warrant upon a stranger''s deposition of hearsays?
45038And what are these among so many?"
45038And what did I care for the rest of them?
45038And what have you done?
45038And what think you I saw, in the flickering of the light?
45038And where is mine?
45038And who can declare what that was, a stranger, or his own wife, with the most convincing?"
45038And who is she to frighten me?
45038And who is there to see to the parish, or even the service of the Church, while I lie like this?
45038And why does he always look at me, when he speaks?"
45038And why have you grown such a-- well, such a size?"
45038And why?
45038And yet who was that strange visitor, of whom her daughter was not allowed to speak?
45038And you say that the Gilhams are of very good birth?"
45038And your sister-- is she to have no voice, because you are a roaring lion?
45038And, what right has he got to make such a dreadful noise?
45038Any mere sciolist, any empiric, any smatterer of the new medical course-- and where would Frank Gilham''s arm be now?
45038Any other questions, master?"
45038Anybody up there?
45038Anything more, sir?
45038Are you angry with me?"
45038Are you going to decorate a doll''s house?"
45038Are you sure that the body was ever carried off at all?"
45038As the Spanish proverb is-- but I beg your pardon, you do n''t know Spanish?"
45038Bain''t my soul worth every varden of what Betty Cork''s be?"
45038Bargain, or no bargain, now?"
45038Be you?"
45038Better than clam- pits, worn''t it now?
45038Bury us, do n''t you?
45038But I do n''t want, do n''t you see?
45038But I never saw any one half so----""Half so what?
45038But I suppose the young lady wo n''t keep her up to- night?"
45038But against facts, where are you?
45038But be''e_ h_onest?"
45038But bless my heart alive-- if you like that better-- what has all our parish been about?
45038But ca n''t you tell me how she is?
45038But can girls be magnanimous?
45038But can you not give me a little hope, Miss Fox?"
45038But can you recite to me the names of the two persons, whose lives they have replenished?"
45038But do you think that the big man Harvey really is our Zippy''s father?
45038But giving you the benefit of the doubt, Master Crang, how have you used this magic tool yourself?"
45038But go on, Crang; will you never tell me how this amounts to any proof, either of my guilt or innocence?"
45038But have you any evidence beyond suspicion?
45038But have you anything more to tell me, about that shocking thing, that is such a sad disgrace to Perlycross?"
45038But have you heard how the Colonel is to- day?
45038But how am I to help it?"
45038But how can one help it, Master Pike?
45038But how can us tell as you be?"
45038But how could they get their meat, without the butchers''shops?
45038But how do you think it will prove?
45038But how does the recovery of this tool show that you made a mistake about me, Crang?"
45038But how is she, Jemmy?
45038But how then could your mother feel so sure about Tom''s coming home almost immediately?"
45038But how was I to contradict it?
45038But if anything happens to me, who knows?"
45038But if that were so, what meant the visit of the foreigner, who had tried to escape his notice, when he left the coach?
45038But is it so?
45038But is n''t this enough to make me one?''
45038But on the other hand who could suppose that Lady Waldron would endeavour to mislead her own man of business by a trumpery deceit?
45038But she had better have gone without her supper, for I said to myself-- why not try her?
45038But surely you forget the blacksmith?"
45038But the Spanish nation-- you like them much?
45038But the mother-- the mother is such a piteous creature?
45038But there, Lord now, I want a score of nose- rings?
45038But to make any hand at angling, is it not the case that you must take to it in early life?
45038But was any of''em Colonels, father?"
45038But was any of''em, Sirs, the same as Sir Thomas Waldron was?"
45038But what I want to ask you is this-- do you think it possible that, you know who----""Harrison Gowler?"
45038But what about your good father?"
45038But what are her teeth to compare with her lips?
45038But what cares a man, with his money in his pockets, how these larger things are done?
45038But what has become of your hat, my dear boy?
45038But what has converted you from glasses against me, to glasses in my favour?"
45038But what has made him take up our case, Jemmy?"
45038But what has that to do with my_ Ichthyophylax_?"
45038But what makes you look so glum at me, my good woman?
45038But what matter?
45038But when they demanded, like Englishmen, to know why their liberty should be suddenly abridged, what happened?
45038But when you have got everybody else''s fish in your water, can you get them out of it?
45038But where shall us be off to?
45038But where will you put Susanna?"
45038But who began it?
45038But who can prove a negative?"
45038But who do you think I ran up against, to Exeter?"
45038But who is there now?
45038But who knows what to say sometimes?
45038But who that is worthy of that name can not slip round the corner gracefully, whatever is presented?
45038But why bain''t you a real lord, the same as they was?"
45038But why did the good ladies send you home so soon?
45038But why did you get into conflict with a boy?"
45038But why have I lost sight of you all these years?
45038But why is he in Malta, when the ship sailed for Bombay?
45038But would un let me spake the truth, without contempt of persons?"
45038But you do think well of him, do n''t you now?"
45038But you have never been fool enough to refuse him?"
45038But your father is ill?
45038But, come, brother Jemmy, are there no more friends?
45038By the by, I suppose you have never seen the smallest ground for suspicion of foul play?"
45038By the by, you could n''t take the rod for half an hour, could you?
45038By which of his features do you recognize him now, at four and a half, in the morning?"
45038By- the- by, could n''t you counteract her?
45038Ca n''t any of''e spake a word of sense?"
45038Ca n''t you see that I want to kiss you?"
45038Ca n''t''e speak, or wo n''t''e then?
45038Can I have a little talk with you?"
45038Can any man remember when he was stopped from making a fool of himself by the weather, or encouraged in any wisdom by it?
45038Can you ever get what is right, without paying for it?"
45038Can you see me?"
45038Can you show when you left home?"
45038Can you tell me that?"
45038Can''e dowse this here canvas?
45038Can''e reef it then somehow?"
45038Carnies, what can''e say to that now?"
45038Could she be afraid that her own son would dig up her body, and dispose of it?
45038Could they have known what had happened to his father?
45038Could you get him to visit you for a day or two, and see Sir Thomas Waldron, without letting him know why?"
45038Dares any one to doubt identity?
45038Did I not hear of a brother of hers, a Spanish nobleman I think he was?"
45038Did a monstrous elephant come, and crush his darling life out?
45038Did any of your people at the Old Barn see you, after your return from the Whetstone Pits?"
45038Did not I astonish him, the impertinent low wretch?"
45038Did she say anything about me?
45038Did the doctor say whether you might see my Frankie?"
45038Did you ever see anything so sad?
45038Did you meet any people who would know you, anywhere between midnight and morning?"
45038Did you pass near the church?
45038Did you swear that, or did you not?"
45038Do I ever argue?
45038Do n''t you know when I used to give you sugar- plums out of this horn box?
45038Do they ever take alike a startling piece of news, about their most important people?
45038Do they weigh in the same balance the discourses of the parson, the merits of those in authority, or the endeavours of the rich to help them?
45038Do you mean to turn tail upon them, Sergeant Jakes?"
45038Do you remember our Thucydides?
45038Do you seem to yourself to understand it?"
45038Do you suppose that it is a joking matter for poor Frank Gilham?"
45038Do you think I care twopence for fifty thousand brothers?
45038Do you think I would have come here else?
45038Do you think she is reading the same Psalm that we are?
45038Do''e ever do a hard day''s work?"
45038Do''e mind when the Devil wor seen on Hagdon Hill, the day avore the good lady varled all down the Harseshoe?"
45038Does Old Nick carry whipcord?
45038Does he think I would ever let him come anigh me, if it was n''t to turn him inside out?
45038Does it not solve every difficulty?
45038Does she suppose that I feel nothing, and am wholly absorbed in love- proceedings, forgetting all duty to my father?
45038Done yours, I daresay?
45038During your long time in the wars, were you ever accused wrongfully, my friend?"
45038Eh Zip?
45038Even a man can see that, ca n''t he?
45038For instance,"How is your very darling sister?
45038Fust place then, you mind hearing of the man as gi''ed that doiled zany of a blacksmith such a turn-- how long agone was it?
45038Good Heavens, is our family reduced to that?
45038Got a kiss to spare, my dear?
45038Got into a gin?
45038Has he made any confession, mother?
45038Has he said anything to you about it lately?"
45038Have I done anything to offend you?
45038Have I ever interfered, between you and Nicie Waldron?"
45038Have a drap, wull''e?
45038Have they got any Christmas parties on?
45038Have you cultivated nothing but your nails?
45038Have you heard anything about it?"
45038Have you heard from her by the latest post?
45038Have you seen Lady Waldron, since this terrible occurrence?"
45038Have you sent any one to enquire about it?"
45038Have''e made up your mind about my poor soul?"
45038Have''e see''d anything of Joe Crang, this morning?
45038He flung something on the ground and asked--"What be up now; to vetch me back up- hill for?
45038He has promised to keep in the background; but if things get lively, can I trust him?"
45038He will turn the pound handsomely, do n''t you think?"
45038Here it is?"
45038His eyes put the question to them, one after another,--"My good madam, are you still afraid of me?"
45038Holloa, you be moving there, be you?
45038How be you then, this fine morning?"
45038How can I thank you for giving them such a nice time, Sergeant?"
45038How can I think of myself for a moment, when things are so dreadful?
45038How can that new boy get on without me?
45038How can you be so stupid?
45038How can you deceive me so?
45038How could I begin, when I thought you had done it?
45038How could I help it?
45038How could I see the man, through the nag?"
45038How could I speak to you about it, before you acknowledged your infatuation?
45038How could he have started this cursed tale?"
45038How could he talk such nonsense?
45038How could she die, with all that to live for?
45038How could that fool Crang have made such a mistake?
45038How has Lady Waldron behaved about it?"
45038How is darling Christie?"
45038How long have you been with him?
45038How long is it-- a month?
45038How long is she likely to remain like this?"
45038How long will it take, to get Gowler down, and can he do any good, if he comes?"
45038How shall we let him know his danger, without risk of doubling it?
45038How would you like to be ordered to haul off from Miss Waldron, in case you were to lose your money, or anything went against you?
45038I am so tired, so weary, so worn out-- can you not see how it is destroying me?"
45038I can not promise more than that, now can I, for any bewitchment?
45038I could quote Latin, if I chose: but who would put a spill to my pipe afterwards?
45038I do n''t often make such a mistake though, do I?
45038I forbid you to say another word to him''?
45038I hope there is no mistletoe up that way, or at any rate no hateful fellow near her with it?"
45038I like them very well, but what are they to you?
45038I said--''the Doctor as is biding now with Mr. Penniloe?
45038I suppose I may go out that way?"
45038I suppose the door is not open?"
45038I suppose you never make a bet, Penniloe?"
45038I suppose, you pretend to care for me?"
45038I try to trust in God, and to say to myself--''What does the earthly part matter, after all?
45038I was just going to say--''how can we tell they did it?''
45038I will not trouble you with dark things-- but may I have a little talk with your brother?"
45038I wish I might go this very moment----""Is this all your gratitude, Robson Adney, for the goodness of the Lord to you?"
45038I would rather not have it,--dirty stuff, what good is it?
45038If I bring Gowler over, with Fox''s full approval, will you allow him to examine you?"
45038If I could only be sure of that, what should I care for anything?"
45038If I do n''t, would n''t I have the hair off his head?"
45038If I do, would n''t I polish his boots?
45038If I had my own way-- but what use?
45038If I tell you something, will you give me your word that it shall go no further?"
45038If every man stuck to his own corner only, would there ever be a dining- table?
45038If he could come, would he ever leave her thus?
45038If he were noble, and could love with all his heart, would he be so hard upon his sister, for liking a man, who is her equal in everything but money?
45038If it is too much for poor Tom, what is it likely to be for us?
45038If my brother were here, is it possible to doubt what he would do-- how he would proceed?
45038If that can be managed, will you go, at once, and at any inconvenience to yourself?"
45038If you had just gone round the horse and looked; or even sung out--''Is that you, Doctor?''
45038Inez, do you attend to me?"
45038Is Crang here, or one of his apprentices?"
45038Is Jemmy dead?
45038Is Lady Waldron not aware that I am connected with the very foremost of your Devonshire families?
45038Is he going to die?
45038Is he kicked out of the way?
45038Is he thrust aside rudely?
45038Is he very ill?
45038Is his precious life in danger?
45038Is it a provision of Nature, that her highest production should be above the rules of inferior reason?
45038Is it fair, to keep me in the dark, about the black things they are saying of me?"
45038Is it lawful to ask who they were?"
45038Is it not simple-- consistent with all that we know of such people, priest- ridden of course, and double- faced, and crafty?
45038Is it right to talk of such things now?"
45038Is it true that old Fox is dropping off the hooks?"
45038Is it true?
45038Is it usual for Dr. Gronow to be from home at night?"
45038Is it wicked?
45038Is that even fair to a young practitioner?"
45038Is that the straightforward course I should have taken?"
45038Is that the way you learn to express yourself at a finishing school?
45038Is that what you call justice?"
45038Is there anything more I can do for you?"
45038Is there anything you would like to say about her?"
45038Is there no meaning in the English language?
45038Is this a thing you mean to allow?"
45038Make way, wull''e, for the Officer of the King?"
45038Many a penny would be wanted now, and who was to provide them?
45038Mr. Polwarth of Bodmin, will you kindly stand by the side of your brother in a very noble art?"
45038Mr. Webber, will you then oblige me by being the host to Mr. Penniloe?
45038Muggeridge?"
45038Muggridge?"
45038My God, what made You make it?"
45038My father is gone; and will mother go too?"
45038Never bet with a parson, eh?
45038No port wine in the house?
45038None the worse, old chap, are you now?
45038Not Gowler?"
45038Nothing the matter with him, I hope?"
45038Now Sergeant, what is all this rotten stuff about me?"
45038Now go to Mrs. Muggridge, but remember one thing-- if you are unkind to my little Fay, how can you expect me to be kind to you?"
45038Now have you meant, from first to last, that you would ever think of marrying me?"
45038Now if you please, what is it I am charged with doing?"
45038Now put it to yourself; how would you like to be a sort of son- in- law to good Mother Gilham''s green coal- scuttle?
45038Now till you can put b. a. b. e. in the place of m. a. n. in that there text, what becomes of your Church baptism?"
45038Now was that man born full- grown, Farmer Stephen?"
45038Now what am I to do?
45038Now what do you advise me to do, about myself?"
45038Now what do you advise me to do, dear sir?"
45038Now what message do you think they sent me?"
45038Now, do''e care for the soul of an old''ooman?
45038Now, what have you to show, against this general conclusion?
45038Now, will you add to the obligation, by telling, if your tutor has no objection, why he put you under such an awful veto?"
45038Now, will''e do what I axed of''e?"
45038Now, you do-- don''t you?
45038Oh Frank, why do n''t you fall in love with Minnie Farrant-- your own Godfather''s favourite child, and they say she''ll have four thousand pounds?"
45038Oh Muggridge, Muggridge, where were you?
45038Oh Nicie, what do I care now, if the whole world goes against me?"
45038Oh what will he think of me, for leaving Nurse alone?
45038Oh you poor little persecuted pet, what did they do to you?
45038Oh, Jemmy, Jemmy, is it some horrible secret of your trade?"
45038Oh, how can you tell?
45038Oh, will you do it, Uncle Penniloe?
45038Oh, you want to get back to the fair Miss Christie?
45038Or be''e channged, and not the zame to her?"
45038Or is it a bit of acting over- acted?
45038Or would''e soonder her went to the Devil?"
45038Ort more to zatisfy this yung gent?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Penniloe?"
45038Queer thing, just here, is n''t it?"
45038Quite an old frump, I suppose?"
45038Real lords?
45038Reverend, is n''t it a grand invention?
45038Reverend, is this all the theology you teach?
45038Sergeant, are you quite sure of that?
45038Sergeant, do n''t you know me?
45038Sergeant?"
45038Several times he knocked vainly at the ricketty door of the remaining room, until at last a harsh voice cried--"Come in, ca n''t''e?
45038Shall I go, and knock at the young lady''s door?"
45038Shall I never die?
45038Shall I not tell even Penniloe?
45038Shall I tell you what I shall be glad to do, without risk of offending you?
45038Shall I tell you what it is?"
45038Shall we try in any other country?"
45038So they came for a warrant against me, did they?
45038Some little matter about the clergyman?
45038Supposing that the Whetstone men are there, would they not attempt a rescue?"
45038Surely, it never could have been at Perlycross?"
45038That you admit?
45038The Lord deliver me from this life?"
45038The globe of thought being in this state, and the arm of action crippled, the question was-- would heart arise, dispense with both, and have its way?
45038The latter was not in court, nor likely so to be; and as for the blacksmith''s evidence, however positive it might seem, what did it amount to?
45038The man at the cross- roads-- would you know him?"
45038The only point is this-- after all her bad behaviour, will Sir Henry come to the scratch?"
45038The only question is-- do you wish to hear it, in the presence of this gentleman; or do you wish me to wait until he is gone?"
45038The present point is-- how are you to get out of this very nasty scrape?"
45038The question is, how shall we clear you to the world?
45038The roads about here have a manner of showing that they know not in what direction they are going?"
45038The same in your copy, bain''t it now?
45038Then after all he is not, as everybody says, even a dissolute nobleman?"
45038Then she looked earnestly at her guest, and saw that the point to be considered was-- not shall we attempt it, but how shall it be done?
45038Then what happens?
45038Then you have n''t got what you ought"--shouted Adney, with his foot upon a pinnacle--"old Peter made a saint of?
45038There ca n''t be any harm in that much, can there?"
45038There must be some want of judgment somewhere-- what else could lead to such very sad fighting?
45038They laboured to convey their legal message; but where is education, when the sky falls on its head?
45038They sneer at the family of Barca, do they?
45038Thinks I--''What''s up now?''
45038This is what you call Christianity, is it?
45038This naturally led to a vast sprawl of words, for the most part containing very little; and"what shall I say next?"
45038This was a sudden relief to Sir Henry, enabling him to offer immediate comfort, and to whisper--"how could you imagine such a thing?"
45038Timberlegs, do''e hear thic?
45038To obtain a large sum for the Service of God from an avowed-- ah well, who am I to think harshly of him?
45038Turn the bottom up, sir, and what be that but custom, same as one generation requireth from another?
45038Twelve o''clock, I think you said, will suit for our application?"
45038Vaine doctor, was n''t''un?
45038Very likely it rocked, but could they have heard it?
45038Veyther is quite well,"in answer to"How are you to- day, John?"
45038Was any of them Earls, and Marquises, and Dukes, and whatever it is that comes over that?"
45038Was everybody satisfied?
45038Was he at Peter''s, after my time?
45038Was his lovely taily broken?
45038Was it because eggs are now so scarce, and Rose wanted all of them for herself?
45038Was it just to punish one for the offences of another?
45038Was it thought impossible that I should show discretion?
45038Was n''t it clever of him?
45038Was n''t it old Short that used to put a year of the war on an oyster- shell, and you beat him by putting it on a thumbnail?
45038Was that fair to me, Jack?"
45038Was there ever such a headlong girl?
45038Was there ever such a joke?
45038We dare not limit the mercy of God; for what are we?
45038We have enough to account for that, have n''t we, Uncle Penniloe?
45038Well now, about that other thing-- why did Mr. Tremlett make off with_ little Billy_?"
45038Well, Jemmy, what is your opinion of all this strange affair?"
45038Well, what does he say about it?"
45038Well, what have''e got to say to me?"
45038Well, what shall we come to next?"
45038What are the most important hours of the day?
45038What can I do?
45038What can I do?
45038What can I do?
45038What can be done to help it?
45038What can be easier than that, I''d like to know?"
45038What can it have to do with me, or the sad affair at Perlycross?"
45038What can you urge against it?"
45038What could a''think but that Squire was there?
45038What could you be about, sir, to take such a man as that?"
45038What did Dr. Gronow say on Saturday?
45038What did you do, my good Thyatira?"
45038What difference do''e reckon now, betwixt a man and a''tatur?"
45038What do you mean to do, Sir Henry?"
45038What do you mean?
45038What do you think of that, sir?
45038What do''e say to that, Passon Penniloe?
45038What do''e think now of that there?
45038What else can a busy man do, when puzzled even by his own affairs?
45038What good can it be?"

45038What hole can there be about here?"
45038What hope can I have of ever getting at the bottom of it?"

45038What is the good of my hundred pounds a day?
45038What is the meaning of all this?"
45038What is the nearest house, this other way?"
45038What is the object of all this eloquence?"
45038What is there to fear, with the truth against black falsehoods?"
45038What lunatic has dared to say, that I had anything to do with this?"
45038What made you hide yourself down there?

45038When a thing will not help to do itself to- day, who knows that it may not be in a kinder mood to- morrow?

45038You ca n''t get from Old Barn to Blackmarsh lane with wheels, sir, any way, can you?
45038You ca n''t help it-- can you, Squire?"
45038You find them gentle, brave, amiable, sober, not as the English are, generous, patriotic, honourable?"
45038You have heard of Blackmarsh, have n''t you?
45038You know a little Spanish, do n''t you?"
45038You may be very well in your way, Mr. Fox, for toothing, or measles, or any young complaint; but where is your experience in times of peace?
45038You mean, I suppose, that you acquit me?"

45038he said, with his eyes full of tears;"keep her head like that, I will take this end; now, who the other?
45038said the philosophic Gronow, pulling out his cart- wheel like a man;"you ca n''t make them take you when they do n''t choose, can you?
45038this gentleman exclaimed;"How are you, this frightful weather?
45038what was that came by me?"
