20552 | Why should n''t they see him? |
20552 | Why should we fare badly? |
20552 | Why should we fare badly? |

20552 | You might have slept soundly till the end of the world, if I had not come? |
20552 | You probably think that you will conquer the dragons by mere will? 20552 _ I_ fight with you?" |
20552 | ''Who are you?'' |
20552 | After their work was done, they sat down to supper, and while they were eating the boy asked:"What is your name, father?" |
20552 | An idea entered Stan''s head, and he said boldly,"What would you give me, if I released you from the greedy dragon?" |
20552 | And you, wife?" |
20552 | And, if they did not bloom, why was it? |
20552 | Another voice asked:"What is six?" |
20552 | Are not the fields fertile?" |
20552 | Are not the fruit- trees and bee- hives full? |
20552 | Are you at variance with any one? |
20552 | Are you crazy? |
20552 | Are you not my father? |
20552 | But did my fearless hero restrain himself? |
20552 | But how do you happen to come here, and what are you doing in this wilderness of a forest?" |
20552 | But how was Wild- Rose to do such a thing? |
20552 | But what could she do? |
20552 | But what did the empress say when_ she_ saw it? |
20552 | But what did the youth see? |
20552 | But when she glanced into the nest what did she perceive? |
20552 | Ca n''t you understand that?" |
20552 | Can you make roses grow on burdocks?" |
20552 | Cross? |
20552 | Did you steal the water?" |
20552 | Do n''t you know that the bear never dances willingly?" |
20552 | Do n''t you see he is dumb? |
20552 | Do you hear? |
20552 | Do you suppose you have me as a son for nothing?" |
20552 | Does the place no longer suit you, or have you been offered higher wages elsewhere, that you want to leave me?" |
20552 | Early the next morning he began to play on his flute at the edge of the lake,--and what did he see? |
20552 | Fifty years have passed since I was young, who knows where the bones of the horse I rode then are rotting? |
20552 | Had nobody been at his post? |
20552 | Had not Holy Friday said that she was a combination of hideous things? |
20552 | Has my faith been put to any test, and have I ever deceived you?" |
20552 | Has the angel of the Lord taken her? |
20552 | Have the elves and wicked gnomes stolen her away? |
20552 | Have you any parents, and how did you get here?" |
20552 | Have you enough to support them?" |
20552 | Have you often been tended by people like me?" |
20552 | He pulled it out, and what did he see? |
20552 | He went out of the palace, and what did he behold? |
20552 | He went up to it, and when he grasped it by the tail, the animal turned its head, saying:"What do you command, my master? |
20552 | How could he drive them home? |
20552 | How could he help it? |
20552 | How did he ride? |
20552 | How do I know, Brother Siminok?" |
20552 | How had any one been able to enter unperceived? |
20552 | How should she manage to find out what he did and ate in the woods? |
20552 | I am old; if you go too, who will help me in the cares of government; if I die, who is there to ascend the throne except you, my son? |
20552 | Like longing? |
20552 | Like the wind? |
20552 | Like thought? |
20552 | Men came running to the spot, what did they see? |
20552 | On seeing him, he said:--"Tell me, my son, from what part of the country do you come? |
20552 | Or did not Holy Thursday tell you that you must enter into conversation with no one? |
20552 | Or do you no longer remember the tidings Holy Wednesday''s box brought you? |
20552 | Or like a curse?" |
20552 | Or was she the ugliest among the fair ones? |
20552 | Or, have you, too, been asleep, been dreaming?" |
20552 | Over or under the bridge?" |
20552 | Petru, Petru, have you forgotten? |
20552 | Such a thing, how can I describe it? |
20552 | Swim over it? |
20552 | The Welwa? |
20552 | The giants, the dragons, the iron- shod lions, the fairies, the flowers, and the sun-- what had they all been doing? |
20552 | The traveler, full of joy, asked:"But are there not immense crowds of people here, if none of you die?" |
20552 | Then a terrible wailing arose, as if all the spirits of evil were abroad, and another voice said:"What is two?" |
20552 | Then it waked the young birds and said:"Tell me quickly, my darlings, who has done me this great favor?" |
20552 | Then the fisherman, looking at the royal maiden, said three times:"Will you say fisherman to me again?" |
20552 | They fought with swords, who knows how long? |
20552 | Was he counting the wrinkles in her face? |
20552 | What did Holy Thursday say? |
20552 | What did he see? |
20552 | What did they do? |
20552 | What do you seek here?" |
20552 | What do you suppose he did? |
20552 | What else could he do? |
20552 | What had become of him? |
20552 | What had happened? |
20552 | What happened during the night? |
20552 | What is wanted?" |
20552 | What is wanted?" |
20552 | What must the Fairy Aurora herself be? |
20552 | What should happen? |
20552 | What should he do, for he found no water? |
20552 | What should he do? |
20552 | What was Petru to do? |
20552 | What was he to do? |
20552 | What was the youth to do? |
20552 | What was to be done then? |
20552 | What''s that to you?" |
20552 | When he awoke, what did his eyes behold? |
20552 | When it was over, he raised his eyebrows and began:"My son, what do you seek from me in this dark, cheerless abode? |
20552 | When she asks''Who is there?'' |
20552 | When she came to the pear tree it stood full of pears, but do you suppose the traveler could taste even one of them? |
20552 | When she looked up, what did she behold? |
20552 | When the emperor heard this he grew very sorrowful and answered:"Why, my son, how can I give you an impossible thing? |
20552 | When the old man heard the rooster''s voice he ran out joyfully to meet the bird, but looking through the door what did he see? |
20552 | When the rooster saw that its life was in such great danger, what was it to do? |
20552 | When they met again the old woman asked:"Husband, what have you found?" |
20552 | Whence came the countless multitude of all sorts of cattle? |
20552 | Whence do you come, and what do you want?" |
20552 | Where should he find time to gossip with old women? |
20552 | Where was such a thing ever heard of, and how long have you been able to talk?" |
20552 | Where were all the sharp- eyed guards? |
20552 | While he was doing so, Siminok stopped and said:"What is the matter with your head, Brother Busujok?" |
20552 | Who are these boys?" |
20552 | Who could tell how far he still had to go to reach the Fairy Aurora? |
20552 | Who gathered the flowers for it, who twined them into a coronal, and who brought the wreath here and laid it on my couch?" |
20552 | Who is it? |
20552 | Who knows? |
20552 | Who seeks to enter my palace by force? |
20552 | Who that has ever seen her can help talking about her? |
20552 | Who told you to stop? |
20552 | Why should it? |
20552 | Why should she be? |
20552 | Why should they? |
20552 | Why should we delay in our words? |
20552 | Why?" |
20552 | Would it be a joke to have a person able to throw any thing into the moon? |
20552 | Would n''t it be better for you to heed the bay''s counsel? |
20552 | Would n''t it be better for you to remember what Holy Thursday said to you? |
20552 | Yes, or no?" |
20552 | Yet they ate the porridge with great relish until, when the old woman emptied the dish she found at the bottom-- what? |
20552 | Yet when did the flowers bloom, if they had not yet had time to open? |
20552 | a dragon came up to him and said:--"What will you give me, boy, if I put all these beasts back into the horn for you?" |
20552 | how could he help it? |
20552 | how could the Welwa now be a gold forest after having twice left it in disgrace? |
20552 | said the bay angrily,"why could n''t you keep quiet?" |
20552 | she asked, half awake, half- dreaming--"Who?" |
43059 | And what might it be? |
43059 | And why not, prithee? |
43059 | And why? |
43059 | And ye, my forelegs, what did you do when the hound was chasing me? |
43059 | But what are you doing now? 43059 But what creatures are stronger and more powerful than we?" |
43059 | But what do you give in addition? |
43059 | Do you not know who he is? 43059 For what are you searching, Dawn of the morning? |
43059 | Granted,replied the hawk,"what is it?" |
43059 | Hallo, sister,he cried,"have you got a meal ready?" |
43059 | Hand, hand, where art thou? |
43059 | Hast thou come to fetch water of life and death? |
43059 | He, he, seest thou now that what I had told thee has come to pass? 43059 How am I not to low? |
43059 | How did you know it? |
43059 | How does it look? |
43059 | How far art thou going? |
43059 | How is life going there with you? |
43059 | Hush, you little thing,said the stork,"how do you come to speak of red snow, you have never seen such a thing?" |
43059 | I should like to know,said St. Mary,"how it happened that the last piece to be given away was a cake?" |
43059 | I, what was I to do? 43059 If that be so, why did not you provide more hay last summer?" |
43059 | Is that the way you keep your promise? |
43059 | Never mind you, what am I to do? |
43059 | Now, where was I? 43059 What am I to do then to be safe?" |
43059 | What are you talking of? 43059 What beast?" |
43059 | What beetles are you speaking of? |
43059 | What brings thee to me, my sister? |
43059 | What can we do to save ourselves? |
43059 | What did we do? 43059 What did we do? |
43059 | What did you do when the hound was chasing me? |
43059 | What didst thou say? |
43059 | What do I want them for? |
43059 | What dost thou want? |
43059 | What good can you do me? |
43059 | What has brought thee to me? |
43059 | What has happened unto me? 43059 What is my life worth to me?" |
43059 | What is the good of living in pleasure and in might, if all the years of my life are to be thirty only? |
43059 | What is the good of talking? |
43059 | What is the matter that you are running about like a madman, brother? |
43059 | What is the matter with thee, friend; why dost thou weep so, what ails thee, why art thou so inconsolable? |
43059 | What shall I give you? 43059 What,"said the lark,"you a man, and your wife, a woman, beating you, how can that be?" |
43059 | Whence do you come? |
43059 | Where are the insects, beetles and midges, which I gave you to carry? 43059 Where are you going, brother?" |
43059 | Where is God? |
43059 | Where is your cunning of which you bragged? |
43059 | Where should I get them from? |
43059 | Who art thou who stops me in my way? |
43059 | Who was that daring old man? |
43059 | Why should I soil my feet with mud,she replied,"when the rain- waters are not yet dried up?" |
43059 | Why,replied the birds,"how can that be?" |
43059 | Why? 43059 Will you marry me?" |
43059 | Wilt thou put me to shame? |
43059 | With pleasure,replied the hawk,"why not?" |
43059 | Yes,replied God,"I see, but what is it?" |
43059 | Yes,said Peter,"all very well, but what about the dog? |
43059 | You,replied the man contemptuously,"what can a little midget like you do, when the buffalo does not care even for me?" |
43059 | A fox meeting a hedgehog asked him,"How many wits have you?" |
43059 | AND WHY DO FLEAS SUCK HUMAN BLOOD? |
43059 | Adam said to the cat,"Why dost thou quarrel with him? |
43059 | Adam, as a wise man, kept his peace, but he thought day and night what was he to do to get rid of the devil and to save his wife? |
43059 | Alexander drew near, and he asked them how it came about that they were riding such beautiful horses, and where were the men? |
43059 | Am I to work so hard and carry such heavy burdens and then live on for fifty years in such misery? |
43059 | And God asked her:"Why dost thou not do anything?" |
43059 | And God said to him,"Whither art thou going?" |
43059 | And again the old woman cried,"Hand, hand, where art thou?" |
43059 | And are we, then, to assume that this theory of migration should be applied to these animal tales, as it has been to the fairy tale? |
43059 | And even if she had known it, what good would it be to her, seeing that she did not know what a dragon or a she- dragon was? |
43059 | And he asked him:''Whither art thou going so fast?'' |
43059 | And if not, why not? |
43059 | And is it not so in the world? |
43059 | And said the following:"Dost thou know, O Lord, or dost thou not know, What has happened in Paradise? |
43059 | And the Lord asked him,"Hast thou spoken to her?" |
43059 | And the Lord asked him,"What didst thou tell her?" |
43059 | And the cat went on to say to the dog,"Why hast thou broken( transgressed) thy oath?" |
43059 | And what are you seeking, Stars of the evening? |
43059 | And what is the form in which it is given? |
43059 | And why should he be better than many people are? |
43059 | Are the animals humanised-- using the word in the sense of impersonating a human being? |
43059 | Are the people happier, more contented, more moral, and even more religious after the change, than they were before it? |
43059 | Are these stories also new witnesses to the process of"migration"? |
43059 | But how are you living?" |
43059 | But how many have you?" |
43059 | But how were they to cross that sea? |
43059 | But the king was overjoyed with the exploit of his faithful messenger; and he turned angrily on the storks and said,"Why are you jeering and mocking? |
43059 | But the young man, What did he say? |
43059 | But what can you expect of the devil? |
43059 | But what happened? |
43059 | But what is coming Down the Olt? |
43059 | But what is one to do when one is hungry? |
43059 | But where has he fixed the pasture? |
43059 | But who had taken them, and whither had he gone with them? |
43059 | But who sits in the cradle? |
43059 | But, then, tell me, why is your back so much bent, sister flea? |
43059 | Can you help me?" |
43059 | Coming to the sun, the rat asked,"Where is God?" |
43059 | Did I not warn you?" |
43059 | Do the people see any fundamental difference between the created things? |
43059 | For in such troublous times who would have liked to leave his wife and children alone at home? |
43059 | God and St. Peter, resenting the rudeness of the cowherd, said,"Are these, then, thy manners? |
43059 | Going on her way she met a frog, and the frog asked her,"Dear lady mine, what are you weeping and crying for?" |
43059 | HOW DID THE BEE OUTWIT THE DEVIL? |
43059 | HOW DID THE BEE OUTWIT THE MOLE? |
43059 | He caught hold of St. Mary by the hair of her head, for was he not the emperor, and was there anyone of whom he should stand in awe? |
43059 | He replied,"If I got the best of the angel of death, how much more likely am I to get it of you?" |
43059 | He said to them,"How can I go into the sea and not be drowned?" |
43059 | He said,"What is it?" |
43059 | Her friend, who had never yet seen a cat, turned to her and asked her who that gentleman was who had come in so quietly? |
43059 | How am I not to moan? |
43059 | How did the Bee outwit the Devil? |
43059 | How did the Bee outwit the Mole? |
43059 | How many nations give the same answer, and in so doing form, as it were, a group by themselves? |
43059 | How old is this or that answer or the tale that contains it? |
43059 | How then can we fight him on the earth?" |
43059 | How was she to know it? |
43059 | If not, how is this similarity to be explained? |
43059 | If so, would she mind singing to her? |
43059 | In an ancient Biblical legend Abraham discusses with Nimrod, Who might be God? |
43059 | In order to put her to the test, St. Mary said to her,"Would you like to give this cake to the most beautiful child here in this school?" |
43059 | Is it a fable or has it a religious colouring? |
43059 | Is not the devil himself depicted in medieval imagery with the cloven hoof-- of the goat and with the horns of the goat? |
43059 | Is there any creature in existence moving about and not having a heart within?" |
43059 | It could not be otherwise, for were not these the years which he had taken over from the ass? |
43059 | L. WHY CAN THE MOLE NOT COME OUT ON THE HIGH ROAD? |
43059 | L. Why can the Mole not come out on the High Road? |
43059 | No sooner did the hunters come up and find the owl than they said,"What is this ugly bird doing here? |
43059 | Now let me ask my eyes,''What did you do when the hound was after me?''" |
43059 | Now that I have fallen into their hands how can I escape?" |
43059 | Now, do you think the dog was grateful? |
43059 | O rosebush, why hast thou hastened not to bud? |
43059 | On his way he met a vixen, and she asked him:"Where are you going, Sir Knight?" |
43059 | One day the Gipsy came to the queen, and said to her,"Why do you always sit in the palace? |
43059 | One of the women, hearing the bird''s song, said to her neighbour,"Did you hear what that bird was singing?" |
43059 | Only the mole stayed away, so God asked him why he had not come, when all the others had? |
43059 | Or hast thou the thought To destroy me? |
43059 | Or to old Christmas?" |
43059 | Or, in other words, have we here another set of tales which have been carried chiefly by word of mouth from one country to another? |
43059 | Running very fast he met the bear, who asked him:"What is the matter with you that you run so fast? |
43059 | Shall I be able to live upon the earth, and shall I keep the kingdom? |
43059 | She said to herself:"Why should I give my best bread to strangers whom I do not know? |
43059 | She saluted her when she came in, and this sister also said:"How is one to believe your mother- in- law? |
43059 | Since I am to leave them for ever, and my mother with them, O Lord, what have I done? |
43059 | So he said to the gnat:"Who are you? |
43059 | So it is, for who can alter the will of God? |
43059 | So it is, indeed, but how now about our wager? |
43059 | So they said to him,"What shall we do now?" |
43059 | So what did he do? |
43059 | Some one must have invented them, and why could they not have been invented by the Rumanian peasant independently of the Indian story teller? |
43059 | Soon afterwards the owl met him again and she said,"How have your seven minds( wits) helped you when in time of danger? |
43059 | St. Basile came to meet him, Came to try him, and to ask him What might be his wish? |
43059 | St. Peter, who felt annoyed by the constant worry of the vermin, said at last to God:"What is the good of keeping all these vermin upon the earth? |
43059 | The angel asked him,"Where is thy friend?" |
43059 | The angel asked him,"Why art thou weeping?" |
43059 | The bee, impudent and greedy, replied:"Why should man share in my gift and have my honey? |
43059 | The cat replied,"My Lord, he is a thief, is it right to dwell in one place with a thief?" |
43059 | The devil did as he was told, but whilst he was plunging in the depths he said to himself,"Why shall I bring up the seed in his name? |
43059 | The flea once upon a time meeting a gnat, said to her:"I say, sister, why is your back so bent, and why is your head so low? |
43059 | The fox, having nothing else to do, said,"I must now ask thee, tail,''What didst thou do, O my tail?''" |
43059 | The goldfinch looked at him and said,"Hallo, cuckoo, where have you been?" |
43059 | The good God said:"To whom, O man, doest thou liken thyself? |
43059 | The man, surprised at hearing the lark speak to him, said,"What good can you do to me?" |
43059 | The mole, who heard her buzzing, ran after her and said:"O sister, is that the way thou art dealing with me? |
43059 | The mouse replied,"Lord of the Universe, what have I done?" |
43059 | The owl asked him,"Brother mine, how many minds( wits) have you?" |
43059 | The owl asked him,"How many minds( wits) have you now, old fellow?" |
43059 | The owl followed him, and seeing him there, exhausted, asked him,"How many minds( wits) have you?" |
43059 | The poor man, what was he to do? |
43059 | The prince, when he heard her, His love burned in him fiercely And what did he say with his mouth? |
43059 | The question arises, Whence came some of the incidents believed to be more ancient? |
43059 | The question then remains, Where do these tales come from? |
43059 | The rat went to the clouds and asked them,"Where is God?" |
43059 | The raven replied,"Why not the eagle and dove"? |
43059 | The raven said,"Why dost thou call me lewd( fornicator)?" |
43059 | The snake came to Noah and said,"What wilt thou give me if I stop up the holes which the devil is making by which the water enters the ark?" |
43059 | Then David prayed for God''s mercy and said,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
43059 | Then David said,"O Lord of the Universe, what benefit is there in these creatures? |
43059 | Then he asked himself:"What can be in that sack? |
43059 | Then he recovered himself and said,"Woe unto me, what have I done? |
43059 | Then she met a band of Gipsies, and she asked them,"Have you seen my son?" |
43059 | Then the dog said to the cat,"Why are we sitting here a hungered? |
43059 | Then the hound said sympathetically,"What has happened unto thee?" |
43059 | Then the raven replied,"Why hast thou cursed me? |
43059 | There came a gnat buzzing by the man and saying to him:"What wilt thou say if I drive him out of the swamp?" |
43059 | There she was met by a fox, who said to her,"What has brought thee hither into this the other world from the world outside? |
43059 | They all worked hard to get the water out, but who can get the better of the devil? |
43059 | They molest even us, and try to bite us, what then must the poor human beings be suffering through them?" |
43059 | They said to him,"Hast thou not thy heart with thee?" |
43059 | They were eating, Or not eating, For on a sudden They lifted their eyes, And whom should they see from afar? |
43059 | Thou seest, Peter, what that brother of mine--""You mean the devil?" |
43059 | To St. John? |
43059 | To me? |
43059 | To the saints? |
43059 | Turning to the man, King Solomon said,"Do you not know that you must never trust a snake?" |
43059 | Turning to the other storks, he said:"Is there any one among you who, for my sake, will run the risk and go to these mountains and bring the water?" |

43059 | With whom could such practices survive, for example, in Bulgaria or even in Thrace? |
43059 | You all think yourselves to be the cleverest of created beings, and you expect me, the smallest of you, to tell you that? |
43059 | You can not even keep me, how then can you keep all these mouths?" |
43059 | and again, how could she come with empty hands before the throne of the Almighty? |
43059 | and why do Fleas suck Human Blood? |
43059 | and why do you come here and worry me? |
43059 | for was she not a step- mother? |
43059 | have I not beaten you? |
43059 | hissed the gnat,"didst thou see that I could do with my little tongue, what thou with thy mighty cudgel couldst not do?" |
43059 | how could he fit them together? |
43059 | in England to"Who killed the Cat?" |
43059 | or be frightened of you, as if you were the strongest and mightiest creatures in the world? |
43059 | said he,"you do not know who is greater and stronger than you are? |
43059 | the"Cinderella"tales or"Bluebeard"? |
43059 | why should those old men want me to empty it into the sea? |
38991 | After all, it''s no wonder this idiot stayed in the same place; and who knows what kind of a master it was? |
38991 | Ah, have you arranged everything? |
38991 | Ah, you are not burglars? |
38991 | Am I supposed to know everything? |
38991 | Am not I, too, the Anointed of God? 38991 Ana, Miss Ana----"Ana drew back her hand, and looking at him in a way I can not describe, she said:"Are you warmer now?" |
38991 | And business is profitable? |
38991 | And did he say anything else? |
38991 | And what next? |
38991 | And who can have murdered them? |
38991 | And why? |
38991 | And with what will you satisfy the greed of these heretics, whom your Highness has brought with you? |
38991 | And you could not do that much without being told? 38991 And you worked only with one master?" |
38991 | Are n''t you coming this way? |
38991 | Are you ill? |
38991 | At Haculeshti? |
38991 | But can you read? |
38991 | But do you know why he wanted me to? |
38991 | But how are you, sir? 38991 But those cries, those shouts we heard?" |
38991 | But what has happened here, Mosh Nichifor? |
38991 | But what of it, have n''t we all done the same kind of thing? 38991 But what''s the matter, Ghitza, you are not eating?" |
38991 | But who will tend to this wretched man? |
38991 | But will they come? |
38991 | Can you not see that I am ill? 38991 Can you see the pool?" |
38991 | Churls, but many of them,replied Lapushneanu coldly:"would it not be a sin to murder many men for the sake of one? |
38991 | Come now, what am I to do? |
38991 | Come, do you think he really is dead? 38991 Could it be Gheorghe?" |
38991 | Could she deny it? 38991 Did n''t you hear the song? |
38991 | Dinu, you must give Sandu notice to- day, do you hear? 38991 Do n''t drink it? |
38991 | Do n''t the people know us and our daughter, and do n''t they know what Costa''s words are worth? 38991 Do you hear that, old lady, from Warsaw?" |
38991 | Do you know what Father has just told me? 38991 Do you know what I''ve been thinking as I sat by the fire?" |
38991 | Do you think I shall pity you because you do n''t eat? 38991 Do you think Itzic knows the world? |
38991 | Does n''t it make you laugh--Mistress Veta takes up the word--"when you see Costa''s wife as pink as a girl? |
38991 | Eh,said Vasile, scratching his head,"how are you getting on?" |
38991 | Eh? 38991 Engineer? |
38991 | For what reason have you to- day, which is not a feast day, deserted your spinning- wheel? 38991 Gardana,"said the brigand,"is it you?" |
38991 | Gardana? |
38991 | Has that wretched Tomsha taught you? |
38991 | Have you filled the boiler with water? |
38991 | Have you found a situation? |
38991 | Have you got a good road along there now? |
38991 | Have you got business at Hunedoar fair? |
38991 | Have you got nothing to do? |
38991 | Have you had your dinner? |
38991 | Have you heard? |
38991 | Here,he said a little later, ceasing to plait,"could n''t we weave an awning? |
38991 | How are you feeling now, Brother Paisie? |
38991 | How can I dismiss the man in the middle of the night? 38991 How can you pour two more bucketfuls in when it does not hold more than one?" |
38991 | How could I believe him, my dear, how could I believe him? 38991 How did it happen, Jew?" |
38991 | How do you know all this? |
38991 | How is it? 38991 How is the work getting on?" |
38991 | How many hides? |
38991 | How much have I to pay? |
38991 | How much have you put? 38991 How should I know, master?" |
38991 | How should I know, young lady? 38991 How should we know? |
38991 | How was that? |
38991 | How? 38991 I never asked you, Toli, how are the goats doing? |
38991 | I? 38991 I?" |
38991 | Insult? |
38991 | Iorgu, do you know what Father said to me? |
38991 | Iorgu, do you know why that old man has come? |
38991 | Irinel, will you come and walk in the garden? |
38991 | Is Master Dinu at home? |
38991 | Is that horse supposed to be groomed? |
38991 | Is there a chance of getting anything to eat? |
38991 | Is this how you look after the garden? 38991 It does not hold more? |
38991 | Itzic? 38991 Look, Mistress Malca, do you see that fine, large village? |
38991 | May I ask, brother Gheorghe, where we are at this moment? 38991 Mosh Nichifor, what are we to do?" |
38991 | Mosh Nichifor, wo n''t something happen to us this evening? 38991 No,"she said, turning her head away;"but are n''t you afraid?" |
38991 | No? 38991 Not be like this? |
38991 | Not lie? 38991 Not? |
38991 | Nothing? 38991 Of the water lady? |
38991 | Of what should I be afraid? |
38991 | On our business? |
38991 | Only these few are left? |
38991 | Or are you waiting to be invited? 38991 Or do n''t we give you enough whisky in the evening?" |
38991 | Perchance you think I do not know the Moldavian proverb:''The wolf may change his skin, but never his habits''? 38991 Sandu, can you stay with him? |
38991 | Sandu, why did you want to leave your work? 38991 Sandu, why do you look at me like that?" |
38991 | Sandu, you told Mother that I had been in the workshop? |
38991 | Send him away? 38991 She is not a smart lady, is she, and you are not going to marry her to some grandee? |
38991 | Should you say I shall find a place? |
38991 | So to- night you will lie in wait for the duck? |
38991 | So, so, you have come on our business-- how much? 38991 Speak, are you coming or not?" |
38991 | Supposing I do not find work? |
38991 | Supposing he has gone away? |
38991 | Supposing your father- in- law heard you? |
38991 | The pool----"Only the pool? 38991 Then how can you hope to get one?" |
38991 | Then who can have told her? |
38991 | Then why did n''t he tell me? |
38991 | Toli, during all the months you have been with us I have never asked you whether you are married? |
38991 | True? 38991 True?" |
38991 | Trust myself to you? |
38991 | Vasile,said the boyar,"what is to be done?" |
38991 | Vegetable- beds? |
38991 | Well, Sandu, what did Ana want in the workshop? |
38991 | Well, do you agree? 38991 What are you doing, you boobies? |
38991 | What are you looking for? |
38991 | What are you to do? 38991 What do they ask for?" |
38991 | What do you think of it? |
38991 | What father- in- law? 38991 What has he?" |
38991 | What has scared you, Jew? |
38991 | What is he doing? |
38991 | What is it, Mosh Nichifor? |
38991 | What is it, Sandu? 38991 What is it, Sura?" |
38991 | What is it? 38991 What is it?" |
38991 | What is it? |
38991 | What is it? |
38991 | What is that yonder? |
38991 | What is the matter with you? |
38991 | What is the matter? 38991 What is the priest making?" |
38991 | What is to be done, Vasile? |
38991 | What is your name? |
38991 | What say you, Father? |
38991 | What think you, Bogdan,he said after a short pause,"shall we succeed?" |
38991 | What tidings, my fair lady? |
38991 | What will you give me if I tell you? |
38991 | What will you? |
38991 | What''s the matter, Iorgu? 38991 What''s the matter?" |
38991 | What''s the matter? |
38991 | What''s up, Sandu, have you left? 38991 What, Mosh Nichifor?" |
38991 | What, my Ana damp the sandals? |
38991 | What, you do not want to see us? |
38991 | What? 38991 What? |
38991 | What? 38991 What?" |
38991 | What? |
38991 | What? |
38991 | What? |
38991 | Whence do you come, Roman? |
38991 | Where did you learn these spells, Mosh Nichifor? |
38991 | Where do you want to go to? |
38991 | Where else could we stop? 38991 Where is it? |
38991 | Where is the eldest one? |
38991 | Where''s your mistress? |
38991 | Where, Mosh Nichifor? |
38991 | Wherefore? 38991 Which Gheorghe?" |
38991 | Who are you? 38991 Who are you?" |
38991 | Who are you? |
38991 | Who is there? |
38991 | Who is there? |
38991 | Who turned this vat? |
38991 | Who writes to you then? |
38991 | Who? 38991 Who?" |
38991 | Why all this to- do even if she did take wine to the poor man? 38991 Why do you look at me like that, lady? |
38991 | Why do you look at me like that, lady? |
38991 | Why do you not stay in the convent and meditate during Passion Week? |
38991 | Why do you stay? |
38991 | Why does n''t Mother like my talking to you when Father says you are so good? |
38991 | Why let yourself be unhappy, my dear? |
38991 | Why not? |
38991 | Why, when you had turned the skins, did n''t you come to dinner, or have you been talking to Ana? |
38991 | Why? 38991 Why?" |
38991 | Will you start back at this hour? |
38991 | Would it trouble you to make me another cup of coffee, not quite so sweet as this? |
38991 | Would n''t it be a good plan to sow maize along the fence and round the beds? |
38991 | You are going? |
38991 | You have come to see us, friend Cozma? |
38991 | You have got some heavy skins, have n''t you? |
38991 | You have kept your promise, Mosh Nichifor? |
38991 | You sleep in the afternoon, eh? 38991 You thought to get rid of me? |
38991 | You want to give me notice? 38991 You will give him notice, do you understand? |
38991 | Your foulard gown? 38991 Your mother? |
38991 | ''Eh? |
38991 | ''If I taste, perhaps the contrary is true, who knows?'' |
38991 | ''Since when?'' |
38991 | ''To whom, mother-- to whom must you open?'' |
38991 | ''Who could be knocking?'' |
38991 | ''Why should I be afraid of Zidra?'' |
38991 | A few minutes later he said:"Listen, Veta, all right, I will find witnesses, but supposing it''s true?" |
38991 | A minute later footsteps sounded in the garden, and then the voice of a neighbour:"Where are you, dear, where have you hidden yourself?" |
38991 | A village called"poor"in a"dry"valley; could any place have a more unpleasant name? |
38991 | A wild beast? |
38991 | After Malca has mounted she asked:"Are we a little late, Mosh Nichifor?" |
38991 | After a pause he said slowly:"You have heard of dead pools?" |
38991 | Am I deceiving myself or not? |
38991 | Ana is just herself, and there is no one like her, so why give yourself bad moments because of the tittle- tattle of a man like Costa?" |
38991 | Ana, who saw he was about to open the door, asked him:"What do you want, Sandu? |
38991 | And I, unhappy man that I am, was bold enough to say,''Little nun, is n''t it being a penny wise and a pound foolish?'' |
38991 | And after that, tell me, brother, could I sit patiently by, bite my nails and say nothing? |
38991 | And do you know who killed Zidra?" |
38991 | And for what reason? |
38991 | And if I said to her:"Irinel, do you think it will rain to- day?" |
38991 | And then he began to speak:"Do you realize how the downtrodden people begin to murmur and to agitate? |
38991 | And those other two said nothing about it-- you do n''t think it rains whisky with us, do you? |
38991 | And what of it?" |
38991 | And what was it he wanted? |
38991 | And when he is asked, he strokes his moustache, and looking proudly towards the place replies:"Up there on the Grofnitza? |
38991 | And when two women sit gossiping, who escapes unscathed by their tongues? |
38991 | And where is the dragon, Mosh Nichifor?" |
38991 | And who would think of him, or who would give him any happiness at this holy festival? |
38991 | And why did n''t you send him away?" |
38991 | And yet you do not want me, do not love me? |
38991 | And you will show me, too, the big cities and rivers and the sea, wo n''t you?" |
38991 | And, then, where would you find another place? |
38991 | Anything besides? |
38991 | Are n''t you going to Pocovnicu Iordache to engage yourself to his eldest daughter? |
38991 | Are they bits of coal? |
38991 | Are you asleep, Mistress?" |
38991 | Are you asleep, young lady?" |
38991 | Are you cold?" |
38991 | Are you not satisfied with our food?" |
38991 | As he entered his wife asked him:"Well, has he not turned up yet?" |
38991 | At every step almost he met an acquaintance with whom he exchanged words,"Where do you come from?" |
38991 | Because I promised I would prepare you a remedy for fear? |
38991 | Before whom did he cry? |
38991 | Boyar Nicola thought to himself:"You are not ugly, you are not stupid-- what''s the reason of it? |
38991 | But can anyone sleep through the mad row these nightingales are making? |
38991 | But how do I know whom to believe? |
38991 | But is Gardana still alive?" |
38991 | But then again he slackened his pace, and other thoughts assailed him: supposing he did not get a situation, what would he do then? |
38991 | But what did that"Where are you?" |
38991 | But what were those cries, those sharp whistles through the night? |
38991 | But where are you? |
38991 | But why?" |
38991 | But you, are you well?" |
38991 | But you, brother, how has the world treated you?" |
38991 | But, you silly man, why did n''t you tell me? |
38991 | Can one have anything clearer than that? |
38991 | Costa-- but who''s Costa? |
38991 | Costache?" |
38991 | Costache?" |
38991 | Costache?" |
38991 | Could I?" |
38991 | Could n''t he plant maize at the back of the house too? |
38991 | Did I like the house? |
38991 | Did I love my uncle who had managed my affairs? |
38991 | Did he believe that this prayer, expressed with all the energy of despair, could bring him help? |
38991 | Did n''t he get angry, very angry?" |
38991 | Did n''t your father once keep an inn in the village somewhere?" |
38991 | Did the woman know I had returned, or had she got up very early? |
38991 | Did they catch them as they rode? |
38991 | Did you not choose me? |
38991 | Did you not swear fealty to me when I was only Petre Stolnic? |
38991 | Do I not know that when my army was outnumbered, when you saw that I was defeated, you abandoned me? |
38991 | Do I understand that you do not want me?" |
38991 | Do n''t listen, Lena; do you believe his lies?" |
38991 | Do n''t they clean them every day?" |
38991 | Do n''t you see what a beautiful day it is? |
38991 | Do you hear the nightingales, how charming they are? |
38991 | Do you hear the turtle- doves calling to each other?" |
38991 | Do you know what you''re talking about, Master Shtrul? |
38991 | Do you know what?" |
38991 | Do you know who I am?" |
38991 | Do you know, at that moment a thought crossed my mind that overwhelmed me? |
38991 | Do you love me? |
38991 | Do you love me?" |
38991 | Do you not know each other? |
38991 | Do you not know? |
38991 | Do you remember? |
38991 | Do you say what is the matter with you? |
38991 | Do you see how shy I am? |
38991 | Do you suppose he did not know where she was? |
38991 | Do you think my man chose well this year?" |
38991 | Do you understand?" |
38991 | Do you want to find me dead from fright when you come back?" |
38991 | Do you want to tell me something?" |
38991 | Doda Sili said wonderingly:"Who knows what kind of man he is?" |
38991 | During the great hunt, do you think it''s only a few wolves that are put to shame by having to leave their skins as hostages? |
38991 | Each one was thinking:"Where have I seen him before?" |
38991 | Every one wondered,''Who may he be, and whence does he come?'' |
38991 | Gheorghe began to grin, saying:"What frightened you, Master Leiba? |
38991 | Go and kill him? |
38991 | Grinding good flour?" |
38991 | Had they cleaned my boots? |
38991 | Has he gone? |
38991 | Has he learnt engineering?" |
38991 | Has he taught you to speak with such temerity? |
38991 | Has it not been known for old men to lose their heads and marry girls of eighteen? |
38991 | Have n''t I seen you? |
38991 | Have you grasped it? |
38991 | Have you heard of the Feciorul Romancei? |
38991 | Have you much work?" |
38991 | Have you no wife, no home?" |
38991 | Have you nothing else to talk about?" |
38991 | Have you seen how a hen sits on her eggs? |
38991 | He asked him:"Where do you come from?" |
38991 | He has got us talked about, no other than he, do you hear? |
38991 | He most certainly wanted to marry, and to take her for his wife; why would she not hear of it? |
38991 | He said those words?" |
38991 | He will dine with us? |
38991 | His Highness sends to inquire what it is you want and ask, and wherefore you are come with so much noise?" |
38991 | His blood began to boil and half raising himself he cried:"What are these? |
38991 | How can I open? |
38991 | How can a woman of her age paint herself?" |
38991 | How can stars speak? |
38991 | How can the stars he talks about burn? |
38991 | How could I have convinced my uncle? |
38991 | How could I understand then? |
38991 | How could anyone doubt but that the dumb man was shamming? |
38991 | How could one trample them underfoot? |
38991 | How goes it with the land? |
38991 | How much did you get from your late master?" |
38991 | How much will you charge to take her there?" |
38991 | How sad and drear do the most beautiful natural surroundings become when they are reflected by a sad and lonely heart? |
38991 | How was it that that memory remained so clear? |
38991 | How would he, an old man of pious habits, regard in his old age a marriage within the prohibited degree among members of his own family? |
38991 | I am not very afraid of the wolf, but if some one else had been in my place----""No more wolves will come, Mosh Nichifor, will they?" |
38991 | I asked:"How did it end?" |
38991 | I do not want to tell you? |
38991 | I got nothing out of that old witch, and Ciocirlie was no good; can not you propose something?" |
38991 | I have made up my mind to tell you something----""What?" |
38991 | I noticed my boots, and I thought to myself:"Have they cleaned my boots to- day or not? |
38991 | I questioned her:"That seems strange to you?" |
38991 | I turn back? |
38991 | I went off to sleep gradually, rehearsing this heroic scene:"Irinel, will you come for a walk?" |
38991 | If he met a rider on the road, he would ask:"Left the Prince far behind, warrior?" |
38991 | If there had been a barrel of wine or brandy about, do you think he would have left the carriage stuck in the middle of the road all that time? |
38991 | In other words, was she perchance with me in my room? |
38991 | Indifferent? |
38991 | Is it for this I watched over her?" |
38991 | Is it likely I shall tell you an untruth? |
38991 | Is n''t it so, young lady? |
38991 | Is n''t to- day a great festival?" |
38991 | Is not that easy to understand after all he has been doing these last days, and especially after what he has done to- day?" |
38991 | Is she, perhaps, in love with some one else?" |
38991 | It seems to me you are not well, are you?" |
38991 | It seems to you I am ill? |
38991 | Just now when we are greatly in need of men? |
38991 | Listen, have you turned the skins?" |
38991 | Look yourself; ca n''t you see the sun is going down behind the hill, and we are still in the same place? |
38991 | Manole spoke:"Do you remember, Gardana? |
38991 | Mosh Nichifor, what are you saying? |
38991 | Mosh Nichifor, what are you saying?" |
38991 | Mosh Nichifor, where can I hide?" |
38991 | My uncle asked me in his kind, calm voice:"Iorgu, are you not well that you got up so late to- day?" |
38991 | Now I would like to know when we have to start?" |
38991 | Now what does he want? |
38991 | Now what happened at the trial? |
38991 | Of course I mind, but what would you have me do? |
38991 | One gives rise to another, or are they, perhaps, inseparable? |
38991 | Only when, amid the loud rustle of the trees, I would mention Zidra she would turn quickly, her eyes wide open, and say with a shiver:''Zidra?'' |
38991 | Or what sort of accidents could happen on the road?" |
38991 | Perchance I do not know you, you especially? |
38991 | Priest? |
38991 | Sandu felt as if the house were falling about his ears-- he could not keep him any longer? |
38991 | Saraceni? |
38991 | She drew him to her and comforted him, and said to him:"Do you see what will happen if you do not listen to me? |
38991 | Since when have you taken to wearing stuff dresses?" |
38991 | Some lights too?" |
38991 | Supposing he did not give him work? |
38991 | Supposing he found something bad? |
38991 | Supposing he had been a young man?" |
38991 | Supposing she had asked me what it was I wanted to say to her? |
38991 | Tega''s wife wondered to herself, she could not understand him; really, what was the matter with him? |
38991 | That you are a thief and robber? |
38991 | That"Where are you?" |
38991 | The anchorite fathers of St. Agura have ordained that I should drink milk from a cow only, so that I may not get old quickly; so what is to be done? |
38991 | The country does not want me? |
38991 | The highwayman felt the lady''s head resting against his breast, and a voice murmured softly:"Would you give me to another?" |
38991 | The official shouted:"Who is there?" |
38991 | The one I like so much?" |
38991 | The town is talking about your daughter, and you do n''t mind?" |
38991 | Their mother sat upon the edge and asked them:"Are you ready?" |
38991 | Then he called quickly:"Are you ready, young lady? |
38991 | Then old Nichifor said:"Do you see, Mistress Malca, how beautifully the wood burns?" |
38991 | Then suddenly to me:"Do you know who Zidra was? |
38991 | Then the servants murmured again:"How can we bind him? |
38991 | Then why do you keep coming round? |
38991 | There, no one has eaten you, have they? |
38991 | They could hear the rustling of a dog moving through the stubble, and from time to time could be heard a man''s voice:"Where are you? |
38991 | This was the old man''s usual question: was the country grinding good flour? |
38991 | To whom did he say these words?" |
38991 | To whom did these words refer? |
38991 | Toli Gardana asked:"Where are you going now?" |
38991 | Toli crossed his arms and shaking his head asked:"Was it me you meant to rob? |
38991 | Toli listened a moment, took his gun, and said quickly to Tega:"Have you any weapon about you?" |
38991 | Toli went up to him and said:"I have wounded you-- have I wounded you?" |
38991 | Vasile, the boyar''s agent, came up to the stone seat, scratching his head, and whispered with a grin:"What do you say to this, master? |
38991 | Was I a long time?" |
38991 | Was I ashamed, directly I came of age, to demand an account as though I doubted his honesty? |
38991 | Was he looking at me or elsewhere? |
38991 | Was it I speaking? |
38991 | Was it any use losing one''s temper with the people? |
38991 | Was it any wonder that in consequence of this the people of Saraceni had become in time the most idle of men? |
38991 | Was it me you meant to attack? |
38991 | Was it not the same Irinel, with whom I once played childish games? |
38991 | Was not Irinel like my sister? |
38991 | Was she not the same wild tomboy with her frocks down to her knees only, and her white stockings that became green by the evening? |
38991 | Was there any chance of escape? |
38991 | Was there anything else that kept me in bondage? |
38991 | Well, well, what do you think of this clearing? |
38991 | Were his words more gentle than before? |
38991 | Were the frontier guards on the watch? |
38991 | What are you saying?" |
38991 | What blood have I shed? |
38991 | What brought you, what drew you within range of my gun? |
38991 | What business brings you to us?" |
38991 | What can you confess? |
38991 | What can you say to the priest? |
38991 | What could have happened? |
38991 | What could it be? |
38991 | What did I tell you? |
38991 | What did that mean? |
38991 | What did they want on that by- road-- a road only used by anyone wishing to find the inn? |
38991 | What do they care for the timid or the philosopher? |
38991 | What do you mean by that?" |
38991 | What do you want?" |
38991 | What does he expect? |
38991 | What does that mean?" |
38991 | What does your Highness lack? |
38991 | What else was there to see? |
38991 | What has happened?" |
38991 | What has roused you so early?" |
38991 | What have I done to these men? |
38991 | What is it?" |
38991 | What is it?" |
38991 | What is that? |
38991 | What is the great harm in that? |
38991 | What is to be done? |
38991 | What is to be done? |
38991 | What is to be done?" |
38991 | What kind of people are the lazy people, the people who make no effort, who do not stretch out a hand to take this gift? |
38991 | What need? |
38991 | What next? |
38991 | What tanner''s daughter can touch her? |
38991 | What the devil was to be done? |
38991 | What then? |
38991 | What was Ana looking for here the day before yesterday?" |
38991 | What was I to say? |
38991 | What was it? |
38991 | What was to be done? |
38991 | What will Itzic say?" |
38991 | What would become of them? |
38991 | What would he say to him? |
38991 | What would my uncle think of his daughter married to his sister''s son? |
38991 | What would they do with my head? |
38991 | What would your mother say were she alive to see this?" |
38991 | What?" |
38991 | What?'' |
38991 | When poor Malca heard this she began to sigh and to say:"Mosh Nichifor, what are we to do?" |
38991 | When she recovered herself she said suddenly:''Can I? |
38991 | When these hordes of Turks have robbed and devastated the land, over whom will your Highness reign?" |
38991 | Where are all our comrades now?" |
38991 | Where are my soldiers? |
38991 | Where are you going?" |
38991 | Where are you?" |
38991 | Where could one look for him? |
38991 | Where do you keep them?" |
38991 | Where do you see men like that nowadays? |
38991 | Where is Ana?" |
38991 | Where is my son?" |
38991 | Where is the Princess? |
38991 | Where was Gardana? |
38991 | Where was I? |
38991 | Where was he? |
38991 | Whither could one follow him? |
38991 | Who could bear such a bright light? |
38991 | Who did not know that Racoare had a charmed life? |
38991 | Who had gone to bed or gone away? |
38991 | Who had uttered that name? |
38991 | Who is this fairy of the lake?" |
38991 | Who knows what that means to be priest in Saraceni? |
38991 | Who would have liked something? |
38991 | Who would remain, even for an instant, with a man who suffers in silence? |
38991 | Whom are you looking for?" |
38991 | Whom have I turned from my door without due reward and help? |
38991 | Whose turn would come another time? |
38991 | Why are you silent? |
38991 | Why did he come?'' |
38991 | Why did he cry? |
38991 | Why did he look at me like that? |
38991 | Why did he stand in front of me? |
38991 | Why did not my uncle turn away from me? |
38991 | Why did you not tell me long ago?" |
38991 | Why do you get so angry? |
38991 | Why do you look down? |
38991 | Why do you not want what I bring you?" |
38991 | Why do you shiver? |
38991 | Why does n''t God strangle the word in your throat?" |
38991 | Why should I lie? |
38991 | Why should I? |
38991 | Why should this land lie fallow? |
38991 | Why the devil have n''t they sent them? |
38991 | Why was punishment for mankind invented? |
38991 | Why? |
38991 | Why? |
38991 | Why? |
38991 | Why?" |
38991 | Will you stay or not?" |
38991 | With the fear that seizes us in the presence of the supernatural, I asked:"What induced us to stay here?" |
38991 | Wo n''t it be beautiful? |
38991 | Wo n''t you walk a little while we go up the hill? |
38991 | Would it not be turning such a religious man into an object of derision in his old age? |
38991 | Would you like to die without knowing the beauty of the world? |
38991 | Yes, I know you have a lot, but how many?" |
38991 | You are thinner, or does it only seem so to me?" |
38991 | You do n''t know what is the matter with me, uncle? |
38991 | You do n''t know what is the matter? |
38991 | You do not need? |
38991 | You have never married? |
38991 | You must see we cannot-- and then, what harm has he done?" |
38991 | You want to play, young lady, is n''t that it? |
38991 | and"Where are you going?" |
38991 | it is you, Boyar Nicola?" |
38991 | laughed old Savicky,"how now? |
38991 | or"Irinel, there are only two weeks before the long vacation begins, shall you be pleased, as you used to be, when we go to Slanic?" |
38991 | say now, did n''t Father Trandafir mind? |
38991 | signify? |
38991 | what think you?" |
