26168But it''s my job, is n''t it?_ Colihan flipped the inter- com and proceeded to call Miss Blanche.

26174Got a watch?
26174How the hell would I know?
26174Is that remarkable?
26174It might break even the Mahon machines in this installation?
26174Sergeant,he said,"did I see a gleam in your eye just now?"
26174That one ship,said Lecky blankly,"it defeated the rest?"
26174Then where does the broadcast come from?
26174Those lights look kinda nice, do n''t they?

26174Why do n''t he call me?
26174Why not ask them,said Graves,"how to make a round square or a five- sided triangle?"
26174You begin to believe the broadcasts come from the future?
26174You noticed something that we missed, Sergeant?
26174You plan something?
26174_ What-- what is this?_cried his voice shrilly from the speakers.
26174Are you guys game to feed it into this communicator''s output amplifier?"
26174But why that special type-- that special wave?"
26174But--3020?
26174Did you notice how Betsy''s standby light was wabbling while she was bringin''in that broadcast?
26174Do I signal with my ears and fingers?"
26174Graves said:"Why does n''t it flicker like the others?"
26174Graves said:"You mean it might break all operating communicators in a very large area?"
26174Graves sputtered:"But-- dammit, do you mean we can work out a way to receive a broadcast and not be qualified to see it?"
26174He added persuasively:"But a machine can lie, Sergeant?
26174Howell and Graves and Lecky went under strict guard until they could be asked some thousands of variations of the question,"Why did you do it?"
26174Howell said angrily:"It''s got to be tried, has n''t it?"
26174Is that the reasoning?"
26174Okay?"
26174Quick?
26174Remember?"
26174See?
26174See?"
26174See?"

26174Who''ll join me?"
26174Will you help us, Sergeant?
26174Would n''t it be reasonable to guess that Mahon machines are-- uh-- especial adapted to handle intertemporal communication?"
26174Would that be possible?"
26174You contacted 3020?
26174You gentlemen care to join me?"
26174You see what that means?"
26174You want to come show it, Doc?"
26093And their judgment of Earth--?
26093But just what_ are_ they doing? 26093 Ca n''t you guess?"
26093Can you stand to witness this?
26093Can you tell us what that other ship is?
26093Change of ship?
26093Critical mass? 26093 Do they suppose smoke signals are superior to the 3-d screens in our homes?"
26093Does something happen to everybody who takes the Mars trip, the same thing that happened to Alice?
26093Explain to you?
26093Have you lost your mind? 26093 How do you know that?"
26093How do you know who I am?
26093How well did you know your wife before you married her?
26093I wonder--"What do you mean?
26093Is everyone different when they get back?
26093It has something to do with what happened-- before?
26093It''s_ huge_--how can such an enormous ship ever get off the Earth?
26093Not even give her a burial? 26093 Shall I get you a sedative?"

26093What can I do to help you?
26093What can I do?
26093What do you expect? 26093 What do you mean by that?
26093What do you mean,''In normal circumstances--''?
26093What happened to her? 26093 What were her parents like?"
26093What?
26093What_ can_ I do with you?
26093Where? 26093 Why?
26093You do n''t expect to ever take a trip to Mars, do you?
26093You mean this dictatorial Council determines whether a world is fit to survive and actually wipes out those it decides against?
26093After all our hopes and all our planning you do n''t want to go on to Mars?"
26093Afterwards, he said,"Where are we?
26093And what did it all have to do-- if anything-- with the unbelievable thing Dr. Winters had found about Alice?
26093Are you crazy, Mel?"
26093But if that''s the case, where is Alice?"
26093But what about outside?
26093But what had happened to Alice?
26093Did it exist anywhere in all the world?
26093Do we need any more room to finish the journey?"
26093Had he actually made such a trip and been stripped of the memory by some amnesia?
26093Had he nearly let some unknown cat out of the bag?
26093Hastings?"
26093How could such a thing have taken place?
26093I must have had something to do with it, do n''t you think?"
26093I wonder where it''s coming from?"
26093Is n''t there a drug, a hypnotic method, or something to help a thing like this?"
26093She loved me, ca n''t you understand that?"
26093Taking groups of Earthmen, deporting them to other worlds-- breaking them apart from each other forever--?"
26093Then she cried out,"We ca n''t even bury her?"
26093Was her condition merely the result of some freak heredity or gene mutation?
26093What do they intend?
26093What happened?
26093When will it be?"
26093Where was reality?

26093Why have you been looking for me?"
26093Why should there be such a transfer of passengers in mid- space?
26093Why was she different after her trip to Mars?"
26093Why?"
26093Will you help me or not?"
26093Would she want me to do what the Doctor has asked?
26093You do n''t expect them to play nurse to us during the whole trip, do you?"
26093You know about her do n''t you?"
16834''Did you ever know of his favoring schools or churches by gifts or otherwise?'' 16834 ''Then you love her still, Bernard?''
16834Ah, yes, Christine, but have you been true all these years?
16834And where was he buried?
16834Beg pardon, ladies,said the doctor as he entered,"you sent for me I believe?"
16834But Leo, why do you put the ring on the third finger before marriage?
16834But what about the last one- fourth payment in preferred shares of$ 1,250,000?
16834But what shall count for a meal?
16834But where is the kitchen?
16834But, doctor, ca n''t you do something now for us?
16834Captain Morgan, then you really promise a smooth passage?
16834Captain, have you a panacea for seasickness?
16834Captain,inquired Leo,"do you think we shall have a pleasant voyage?"
16834Certainly, child, invite her, and I am sure, Mr. Searles, that you concur in my daughter''s plan to increase our party at dinner, do you not?
16834Do n''t you see, Mr. Searles, that protection and free trade are equally selfish and not philanthropic principles?
16834Do you think this possible?
16834How do you know he has a home, mother?
16834How so?
16834I am a bankrupt then,said Mrs. Harris,"but how about my daughter Lucille?"
16834If it is settled, Gertrude, then it is settled, I suppose, but how do you think May and I can get ready in so short a time to go to Europe?
16834Is your name Patsie?
16834Mr. Siemen, tell us please how the steamer is lighted?
16834Narrow escape for whom?
16834Now what''s to be done?
16834Now, dear, what have you to say?
16834Of course, you will accept the position?
16834Ready by noon? 16834 Stewardess, where are you?
16834This is Wednesday, Captain, and do you really think you will land us in the Mersey by Monday evening?
16834This is wonderful, Leo,said Mrs. Harris;"can you tell us where and when icebergs are formed?"
16834Well, Colonel Harris, how would the following terms please you? 16834 Well, May,"said George, as he kissed her,"can you get ready by noon tomorrow?"
16834What about his death?
16834What are the duties of the stokers?
16834What do they mean?
16834What if the Norsemen did first discover America?
16834What in the world do you want of our thumbs?
16834What is the cause of this terrible seasickness, doctor, and what can you do for us?
16834What monuments?
16834What quantity of coal do you use?
16834What report, marquis?
16834What shall I do with this vast army?
16834What''s the matter, Reuben?
16834Why did the men strike at the very time when father wanted his mills to glow with activity?
16834You seem to win your case,said Major Williams,"what romance in history will be left us?
16834You surprise me, Leo, but what was the report?
16834''Stranger, wo n''t you stand up again so that the audience can see you?
16834After our return from Europe, why ca n''t we all spend our winters in New York?"
16834After the committee retired, the mayor said,"Well, Colonel Harris, what will be the outcome?"
16834Alfonso answered,"Why not take a drive, and possibly attend some church?"
16834Am I dreaming, or not?"
16834Are n''t you glad now, that you, and your sister May are going with us?
16834But for whom shall we gather the gain?
16834But what of that?
16834But where were Red Cloud and kind- hearted Mariposa?
16834CHAPTER XXVII THE CRISIS What is of more value to civilization, or what commands a greater premium in the world than successful leadership?
16834Ca n''t you stop it?
16834Can you help me?"
16834Did he leave a competency?
16834Did she thus intend to say,"I love you?"
16834Did you say you knew the man?''
16834Do n''t you see the specks of blue low down on the horizon to the northeast?
16834Dr. Argyle said,"Judge, what do you think of novels anyway?"
16834Finally he shouted,"Slaves, will you tamely submit to all this indignity and not resent it?
16834Gertrude and George were strong and helpful, both educated, unselfish and ambitious; why should they not succeed?
16834Has the senator been prompted by the spirit of your anxious father, or is there evil in the communication?"
16834How can you divide it with me?
16834How do you like being fenced out from your work?
16834How was he ever to earn a living for two, if Gertrude should possibly say"yes?"
16834I wonder what it all means?
16834If asked,"How rich?"
16834If not, would the family receive such assistance as would enable the daughter, if Rosie Ricci was her daughter, to obtain a further musical education?
16834If she had flowers, fruit, books, pretty gifts, or money, her first thought always was,"How can I make somebody happy?"
16834Is n''t the ship going down?"
16834Leo, who was fond of the ocean, said to Alfonso,"Why ca n''t we all be sailors?
16834May Ingram said,"Mr. Worth, how do you arrange designs?"
16834Mayor Duty, what do you advise us to do?"
16834Now Mr. Searles, what is the fourth requisite?"
16834Now what will give you all the most pleasure to- day?"
16834Of what use is our so- called civilization if it permits such brutal scenes?
16834One or two lumps?"
16834Rosie picked it up saying,"Mother dear, what is the matter?
16834She sank back into an easy chair on the steamer, murmuring,"Why this terrible disappointment?
16834She wanted George near her as she traveled, so each could say to the other,"Is n''t it beautiful?"
16834Soon Alfonso said,"Leo, how about your own former love, Rosie Ricci?
16834The present issue was,"Will the company pay an increase of wages?"
16834Then the issue was,"Will the company recognize the demands of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers of America?"
16834Trask, will you pardon me if I say a few words?''
16834Trembling she said,"Leo, you have given Rosie up forever then?"
16834What can you do?
16834What chance of recognition had Cousin against Columbus, the protégé of this Pope?"
16834What do you think he said, George?
16834What faculty of educators can lay claim to all the best methods of evolving characters?
16834What is your advice?"
16834What say you to this?
16834What shall be the laws of accumulation and distribution?
16834What shall we do?
16834What terrible news does it contain?"
16834What will your families do for a roof when the snows come and you have no bread for your children?
16834Why did I not at once sacrifice all and share his misfortunes?
16834Why did I not turn back with my husband?
16834Why do n''t you hurry when I ring?
16834Why should they expect us to share with them our property, title to which the United States has guaranteed?
16834Will you go?"
16834Would I reject him?
16834You and your mother or Lucille and I?"
16834You have a ring of beaten gold on your finger, did it come from near here?"
7344An elopement without a carriage- and- four and a blacksmith? 7344 And so you are glad, Archie?"
7344And walking all the same like he was ten year old, sir: and it did give us all a turn; and if you please, sir, what do you say to_ that_?
7344And your promise?
7344Archie thrashed him at fisticuffs,said the old man of war to himself,"and why should n''t he get the better of him in other ways as well?
7344Are you as happy with him as the day is long?
7344Are you hurt?
7344Ay, and what''s the compensation in that? 7344 Ay, and where did he walk to?"
7344Ay, you do love me, do n''t you, Kate?
7344Bellowing all the time, eh?
7344Books are very well for make- believe, but when it comes to downright earnest, use a tongue of your own-- eh?
7344But my father-- where is he? 7344 But who ever heard of a child changing his whole nature all in a moment?"
7344But you are certain? 7344 Can you tell me what is the matter with me?
7344Compensations? 7344 Do you know me, my dear?"
7344Do you love anybody?
7344Do you love no one beside him? 7344 Do you mean to say you are not my wife, Kate?"
7344Do you often ride out in autumn?
7344Do you think of me by that name?
7344Do you think so?
7344Go?--go where? 7344 Have you never had a secret from him, Kate?"
7344Is it for him you fear, or for me?
7344Is it true?
7344It is true, then, that you are angry with me? 7344 Mamma,"said he, going up to her chair, and standing there awkwardly,"where is Kate?"
7344My poor lad, you can not see him now-- he... he--"Where is he?
7344Nonsense, you are crazy.... And so you only care for me to spite him?
7344Promise, come what will, you''ll never marry him; eh, Kate?
7344Shall I pour you out another glass?
7344Somebody else? 7344 Then how did you get here?"
7344This day?
7344Was she married to- day?
7344Well?
7344Well?
7344What am I?
7344What could I think? 7344 What else can I do, when my husband is away from home?
7344What has Sir Archibald Malmaison to say to me?
7344What is the matter, Kate?
7344What is the use? 7344 What is the use?"
7344What is the use?
7344What shall we do?
7344What should he care whether I am yours or not?
7344What were you doing in this room?
7344What?
7344Where is my father?
7344Who are you?
7344Why do you always repeat what a person says, without seeming to know what it is? 7344 Why, is n''t all in a moment better than inch by inch?
7344Yes; and if I''d come in at the moment and asked you what you were singing, could you have told me? 7344 You did-- when?"
7344You do n''t regret me, then, at all?
7344You do? 7344 You told him, then?"
7344You want me?
7344... is it to be our wedding?"
7344After all, was not he the descendant of his forefathers?
7344Am I mad?"
7344Am I not Dick, thy own dear old Dick-- eh?"
7344Among them, why did the foolish face of crazy old Jane, his wife of many years ago, persist in obtruding itself?
7344And had he, by that time, acquired astuteness sufficient to cheat the other party to the contract of his due?
7344And if so, might not the slumberer, after a longer or shorter interval of wakefulness, fall asleep again?
7344And if so, was that another-- that man who issued from behind a clump of bushes, and came toward her?
7344And now, what use would he make of it?
7344And she was leading him to the pool; and what then?
7344And there is that constant forefinger pointing-- at what?
7344And was it not criminal negligence in him to have suffered her to escape from her attendants?
7344And what meant that peculiarly intent and slightly frowning glance which the painted eyes forever bent upon his own?
7344And what was on the other side of this partition?
7344And why had fate selected him to discover it?
7344And why had this secret been suffered to pass into oblivion?
7344And why was it so deadly cold?
7344And yet, what could be his defence?
7344And, after all, what business was it of theirs?
7344Are such prolonged slumbers an ordinary occurrence?
7344Are you... oh, what are you?"
7344As for Miss Battledown, surely she has a right to marry whom she pleases, has n''t she?"
7344But after all he had to go some time; and then what happens?
7344But in that case, who but Archibald could have put it there?
7344But then, what was it?
7344But was it certain that Archibald was not mistaken?
7344But was that Jane after all?
7344But what living thing-- living with mortal life at least-- could exist in a room that had been closed for sixty years?
7344But whither would this chase lead?
7344Can my boy marry her?
7344Could Kate have put out the lights and gone off?
7344Could she be asleep?
7344Darling, you will not mind being a prisoner for a little while, since love will be a prisoner with you?"
7344Did Mr. Pennroyal consider that people might say that the death of his wife was no loss to him, but the contrary?
7344Did he build his hopes upon a possible break in the chain of Pennroyal''s evidence?
7344Did he expect his future wives to go the road of the first one?
7344Did he still exist anywhere?
7344Did the worthy gentleman work his way into his third half century?
7344Do you think the water is frozen yet?"
7344Fearing?
7344Have we not been friends-- have we not been together from the first?
7344Have you forgotten Lord Orville and Evelina?"
7344Have you forgotten all that?
7344Have you never hummed a song when you were doing your embroidery, and thinking about-- about Lady Snaffle''s elopement with the captain?"
7344He do n''t recollect what he''s been dreaming-- why should he?"
7344How came_ you_ here?"
7344How could such a thing have happened?
7344How could you believe that I could wish you any harm?"
7344How else could I have come?...
7344How many thousand pounds do you think he''d give to kiss this little hand as I kiss it now?
7344How should it?
7344I said I should like to see the scoundrel who would dare to marry Kate Battledown-- and-- and what is that to you?"
7344I told you once-- do you remember that day?
7344I wanted my Kate to tell me she loved me-- eh?"
7344If she gave her heart to Archibald, and then Archibald became somebody else, what shall we say became of her heart?
7344Is it agreed?
7344Is she to be blamed if she sighed with a passing regret at that hero''s mysterious disappearance?
7344It is all very well to say that the boy was asleep for seven years and then woke up; but what does such a statement mean?
7344It was going the very path that old Jane had gone that day, many years ago-- her last day on earth; and yet, was she not here again to- night?
7344It was not to be expected that Archibald would be able to modify the terms of the bargain in his own case: was he, then, prepared to pay the price?
7344Kate,"he broke off suddenly,"how did Richard know that those papers were missing in our family?
7344Kate... will you give me a kiss now?
7344Kate....""Well?"
7344Might she dream of ever meeting him again-- that hero?...!
7344Must it not have been irretrievably lost, and shall we be surprised if we hereafter detect in her a tendency to heartlessness?
7344Ned, why were n''t you open with me?
7344Or, might there after all be a power in necromancy that he yet dreamed not of?
7344Out of all the wreck of his small memory, why was this song, the meaning of which he had never understood, the sole survivor?
7344Pray, dear Doctor, what is your opinion?"
7344Seven years?--or was it only yesterday?
7344The question that now confronted him and challenged his ingenuity was, What was the matter with Archibald?
7344Then that notion that the papers were lost was a mistake?"
7344This, by itself, was nothing very remarkable; the puzzle was, how could he do it now?
7344Was fate, which he had hitherto found so adverse, going to change at last, and yield him everything at once-- revenge and love in the same breath?
7344Was he a changeling after all?
7344Was he going to rely upon the title having remained so long unquestioned?
7344Was it a ghost?
7344Was it mocking him for fearing to come?
7344Was it possible that even now those old enchanters held their meetings here, and would question his right to force his way among them?
7344Was it signalling him to come away?
7344Was it that his affection for Mr. Pennroyal had kept it alive?
7344Was it that the boy was shamming?
7344Was it the dark closet, then, that adjoined the east chamber on the other side of the partition?
7344Was poor old Jane the first member of the Malmaison line who had shown any special weakness or peculiarity in the upper story?
7344Was she praying?
7344Well, then, that''s clear now, ai n''t it?"
7344What are you doing on your knees?
7344What compensations?
7344What could be the object of it?
7344What could it be?
7344What could she have meant by that?
7344What does it mean?"
7344What good does her being an heiress do me?
7344What had happened?
7344What has happened?
7344What have you been doing?
7344What is fiction, at best, but an imitation of truth-- and a pretty poor imitation, too, as a general thing?...
7344What the devil do you mean?"
7344What was Kate doing, he wondered?
7344What was Sir Charles pointing at with that left forefinger?
7344What was the elder Dr. Rollinson''s real opinion about Archie''s relapse?
7344What was the matter with the mantelpiece?
7344What were they saying about a wedding?
7344What will he do now?
7344What, then, was the object, and what the grounds, of the charge which Pennroyal made?
7344When did you bring me here?
7344Where did you find the papers?"
7344Where had gone that cheerful fire which was burning so ardently on the hearth half an hour ago?
7344Where in the heavens or the earth or under the earth, indeed, was he?
7344Which would you rather be, a photographer or Michael Angelo?
7344Who was he, indeed?
7344Who was that young woman in front of him?
7344Who, I''d like to know?"
7344Whom had he to love, or to love him?
7344Why did it wear that look of stupid, unreasonable reproach?
7344Why did n''t you say all this to me at first, brother?
7344Why do you look so strangely?"
7344Why was he not the same now as then?
7344Will you permit me to inquire whether you are armed?"
7344Will you promise something?"
7344Will you promise that?"
7344You have the proof?
7344and what had some of them been?
7344and when could he have put it there save in his sleep?
7344do n''t you love me?"
7344what do you mean?
7344what has happened?"
7344yes, unreasonable; for how was he to blame?
29809Air?
29809All right to talk?
29809An attack?
29809And how about you, old man?
29809And so,I said,"we don these things and stroll out into the Atlantic looking for the girl and her friends?"
29809And so?
29809And the chart of our course-- did the return trip check with the other?
29809And then?
29809And this hump on the back?
29809And we have thirty men?
29809And what will you do?
29809Anita, listen: if anything happens and we have to make a dash--"Up through that dome- lock, Gregg? 29809 Are you ready, Anita?"
29809Are you ready, dad?
29809Are you setting a course, dad?
29809But how do you expect to be able to land at the other end any more than this?
29809But how, Mercer? 29809 But we''ll get back all right?"
29809But what place is this?
29809But who would n''t, with a wire like this?
29809But you do n''t have to leave the Earth, do you?
29809But,said Bell practically,"do you accept my terms?"
29809Can you make the leap? 29809 Commander Potan tells me you were chief navigator of the_ Planetara_?"
29809Did n''t tell you where he was going?
29809Did you say anything about the Atom Smasher, Parrish?
29809Do you know the penalty for that?
29809Do you think I''ve been idle during these five years of my exile? 29809 Eh?
29809Feel anything wrong with your head, Dent?
29809Fools, did you think you could escape that way?
29809From-- your father? 29809 George Prince''s sister?
29809Gregg, do you see anything up there? 29809 Gregg, what is it?"
29809How long will it take us to get back?
29809How many of them?
29809I mean, do you know just where we are?
29809If we were all to jump out, tied together-- don''t you think we might land-- somewhere near where we want to land?
29809Is he bad?
29809Is he-- bad?
29809Is it an attack?
29809Is that an airplane motor?
29809Is this George Prince''s sister?
29809Jim, darling, what''s going to happen to us if dad ca n''t find how to work the machine?
29809Jim, do you feel something pushing you?
29809Jim, do you realize what each vibration of this boat means?
29809Josef? 29809 Know where we are, Dent?"
29809Leave them here?
29809Nothing in sight?
29809Now, what''s the alternative?
29809Ready, Dent?
29809Shall we go out and see?
29809So devilish clever.... What are we going to do?
29809Suppose the machine continues to vibrate instead of coming to a standstill?
29809Suppose we go up and see? 29809 That was for him?"
29809The brigands?
29809The merest drop of it?
29809The open air seems good, does n''t it?
29809The_ Planetara_ wrecked? 29809 Truly, do the Rorn become dead?
29809What are they, Senhor?
29809What are we going to do?
29809What are you doing out on deck?
29809What are you going to do, Gregg?
29809What do you know?
29809What is it, Argle?
29809What is it, Jim?
29809What is the matter?
29809What is your trade, anyways?
29809What the devil are we supposed to be, criminals or what?
29809What will we do with the helmets?
29809What''s this? 29809 What?"
29809Where am I?
29809Where are you going?
29809Where are you hit, darling?
29809Where are you now?
29809Where is the city of Atlantis?
29809Which way, Parrish? 29809 Who is the man to the left?"
29809Who told you so?
29809Why do n''t you ask my girl herself?
29809Why do they smile at us all the time in that confounded way?
29809Why should I hurry, Gregg?
29809Why?
29809Why?
29809Yes, sir?
29809You are Gregg Haljan?
29809You do n''t remember the bearings, I suppose?
29809You have on your Erentz suits: are you going to the dome- roof? 29809 You have signaled the men on shore to send out a boat to take us off?"
29809You hesitate to give me your answer, Dent?
29809You hurt?
29809You know what that is, Dent?
29809You mean that you''ve learned how to fly, you black imp of Satan?
29809You mean you can actually do that?
29809You mean,he said quietly,"that an airplane could not land?"
29809You see?
29809You speak English? 29809 You think the signal room is in the tower, Gregg?
29809You think you''re able to face the world and take up life again?
29809You were an officer of the_ Planetara_?
29809You''re not remembering him after all?
29809You''ve-- had it?
29809_ Yes? 29809 ***** Was it true, that amazing story? 29809 A Martian? 29809 A flash from some giant projector mounted on the ship? 29809 A group of captured Drilgoes near it? 29809 A lurking Martian outside? 29809 A traitor in the camp? 29809 An error in the range? 29809 And do you know what I''ve been doing during all this hellish period? 29809 And then, in pictured form, for Imee''s benefit,It has been here while much time passed?"
29809And this is the sister of George Prince-- what do you want up here?"
29809And to whom could Wilks be signalling across this Lunar desolation?
29809And was that the captured Atom Smasher standing between what looked like grinning idols?
29809And was the third figure Miko?
29809Anderson''s Favorites_ Dear Editor: Just a word referring to your"What kind of stories do you like?"
29809Anita whispered,"Which is their giant electronic projector, Gregg?"
29809Anita whispered:"Did he mean that signal room up here in the tower?
29809Anita''s metal- gloved hand was on my arm; in my ear diaphragm her voice sounded eager and unmistakable:"What was the signal, Gregg?"
29809Anything I can do?"
29809Are Haljan and the girl up there with you?"
29809But even if it struck, what guarantee had he that it would shatter the glass, or whatever substance it was that covered the orb?
29809But how could I respond to it?
29809But how...?
29809But up there-- how would we get down?"
29809But we''re a hundred and fifty miles off the Venezuelan coast, are n''t we?"
29809But what can you do?"
29809But what was happening in the other side of the Eye?
29809By following the course in reverse we can expect to make Atlantis again--""Back to that horrible place?"
29809Ca n''t we?"
29809Ca n''t you give us some of the Francis Flagg type of fiction?
29809Cain''s just my pet name for him because he subsists on the fruits of the earth, do n''t you, Cain?"
29809Can you arrange to give me some sign that you''re safe?"
29809Can you get hold of a bit of the antidote?"
29809Could it be true that Tode had solved the practical problem of traveling in time, theoretically implied since the discoveries of Einstein?
29809Creeping-- or would he make a swift, unexpected rush?
29809Did Wilks see me coming?
29809Did he believe me?
29809Did n''t know I''d worked that out, did you?
29809Did we dare linger here?
29809Do you hear airplane motors?"
29809Do you know what I''m going to do with you?
29809Do you think to match your puny will against my own?
29809Do you want to know where that land is?
29809Down on the plains, perhaps?
29809Going there?
29809Had it been tampered with from outside?
29809Had someone gone out this way and broken the mechanisms after him?
29809Had the Earth caught our signal?
29809Had the Earthlight touched him?
29809Have n''t you changed the lamps, or something?
29809He answered me in ready English:"You are the man Gregg Haljan?
29809He desires my services?"
29809He grasped Lucille, held her tightly against his breast, stood there drawing great, labored breaths, waiting-- for what?
29809His light went out very promptly, did n''t it?"
29809How about picking up a little treasure from the hoards of Solomon or Genghis Khan?
29809How many deputies has The Master?
29809How?
29809I insisted,"And Miss Prince?
29809I said sharply,"Are you the commander here?
29809I said,"Before we go any further-- I can trust you for my share?"
29809I think you have everything in hand?
29809I turned toward one of the cubby windows; she said sweetly:"Are you in charge of this room?
29809If Grantline appears down there now, I''ll help you--""Is it connected?"
29809If Parrish was really alive-- why not Tode too?
29809If deputies in two countries that we know of have so much power, how much power has The Master?"
29809If you put me in the camp and the brigands attack it and I am killed-- what then?
29809In telescopic view?"
29809Is everything clear to you?"
29809Is it you?"
29809Is not that your reason?"
29809It was sublime and terrible, and on the result of that conflict depended-- what?
29809Miko dead?"
29809Miko''s lights?
29809Miko?
29809Or had Miko rejoined his party, left his camp and come here like ourselves to climb Archimedes?
29809Or had someone come in from outside?
29809Or had the skulking Martian outside broken this lock as he had broken the other?
29809Or land, perhaps, boldly crowded upon our little ledge?
29809Or sail past, after inspecting us?
29809Or up here, somewhere in these miles of towering rocks?
29809Or was it not a light at all?
29809Or was it two hours?
29809Or was our assumption wholly wrong-- perhaps the brigand ship would not land near here at all?
29809Or was that a local signal- call which he had sent out?
29809Or would I instead try to send a brief flash- signal to Earth?
29809Pack my bags right away, will you?
29809Perhaps I have you to thank for that performance?
29809Ready?"
29809Seems simple?
29809Shall we go ashore?"
29809She added,"Where do you suppose the ship is?
29809She will have her brother''s share?"
29809Should I run?
29809Should I try the flash- signal to Earth?
29809So Bell said placidly:"Well?
29809Suppose Miko were to see us following?
29809Suppose he stopped and lay in ambush to fire at us as we came leaping heedlessly by?
29809Suppose my signal were answered by a shot?
29809Suppose you chaps turn around and take me to Ribiera''s house?"
29809Taylor-- she has?"
29809That''s what you wanted me to do, is n''t it?"
29809The answer came:"_ Where is the Grantline camp?_""_ Near here.
29809The brigand, Miko?
29809The idea is that he must think you are trying to fascinate me, is it not?"
29809Then where is she?
29809This tower outside our window here?"
29809Understand?"
29809Understand?"
29809Was Haljan killed?
29809Was Wilks still up there?
29809Was he advancing, preparing to signal?
29809Was it Haljan standing up there on the summit?
29809Was it premonition?
29809Was that Gregg Haljan who fell?"
29809Was this a farewell?
29809We derive knowledge through one sense only, or, shall I say, a super- sense?
29809Were we acting convincingly?
29809Were we plunging rashly into what was destined to mean our death?
29809What could I do, alone out here with Anita, to cope with this enemy?
29809What could we do?
29809What difference, when all this was forgotten history, antedating the written records of the human race?
29809What does he want of the other men his deputies have enslaved?
29809What had become of his plane, and where was Lucille?
29809What had happened that Jim had won the Drilgo''s faith?
29809What use to proceed further?
29809What use was it to tell Grantline anything further?
29809What was going to happen next?
29809What was he doing with a hand- helio?
29809What was it?
29809What was reality, and what was dream, then?
29809What were they doing there?
29809What were you thinking about me?"
29809What''s it all about?
29809What''s it got to do with our nation?"
29809Where are you?
29809Where did you learn of_ yagué_?"
29809Where is he?
29809Where was he now?
29809Who is The Master?"
29809Who was it climbing the staircase?
29809Why did Cain now look upon him, apparently, as his master?
29809Why did he poison the Service men?
29809Why do you ask me?"
29809Why not have a discussion column and print some of the letters?
29809Why not have a"Reader Talks"in Astounding Stories, where each reader gives his point of view on the stories in the magazine?
29809Why should Wilks be signalling?
29809Will that do to relieve your suspicions?"
29809Will you be good enough to open this door for me?
29809Will you get my diggings on the phone?"
29809Would Brotow follow us up?
29809Would he dare chance my sudden fire?
29809Would it circle over us, firing at us?
29809Would you-- would you assist me to go out on deck, where I might fling myself overboard?
29809Yet how did I dare take Anita from these concealing shadows?
29809You are called Anita?
29809You do n''t remember what you did at the moment, boy?"
29809You fool,"he added savagely,"why did n''t you come in with me in the old days?
29809You got a password?"
29809You heard of it?
29809You kept the record on the way out as I instructed you?"
29809You recall your little talk with the wireless operator on the_ Almirante Gomez_?
29809You speak the Earth English?"
29809You''ll see it all later, anyway-- if you feel you''d like to share the adventure with me?"
29809You''re friendly?"
29809panted Bell, and hurled himself upon-- whom?
30452A cripple named Tugh?
30452A ruler of all Mars?
30452All right, now what?
30452And it told you it would return?
30452And that''s why you sent for me, Milton?
30452And what after that?
30452And what do you mean--''it was a gun?'' 30452 And why,"I intercepted,"did it stop here in 1935?"
30452And you are the Martians with whom we have communicated?
30452And you?
30452Any luck?
30452Are the rays on it, sir?
30452Are these things goods to eat?
30452Are we ready?
30452Are you all right?
30452Are you alone in there? 30452 Are you hurt badly?"
30452But Milton?
30452But can we get out?
30452But how to get out of the hands of these, even?
30452But the hour, Tina? 30452 But what compared with the power of ours?"
30452But what could he have to do with this? 30452 But what you going to do?"
30452But when do you intend to go back?
30452But when?
30452But where are we?
30452But where would you be if I had not been able to bring you back?
30452But-- which way are we going?
30452Ca n''t take it in yet, Randall? 30452 Ca n''t you understand that you are under grave suspicion of having injured her, hidden her away?
30452Can you talk?
30452Can you,he said,"look at her there, and deny you loved her?
30452Captain, may I present Miss Mildred Meriden? 30452 Could n''t a doctor do that better than you, if she is hidden somewhere about here?"
30452Could you see it?
30452Did it come from this house?
30452Did n''t she say something about singing to the crabs?
30452Did you look in the furnace?
30452Did you notice the speed indicator, sir?
30452Did you see the way the top of the pit closed above us? 30452 Do you hear it?"
30452Do you hear me?
30452Do you see these garments?
30452Do you suppose those mushroom things are good to eat?
30452Do you think we can land?
30452Does it mean anything to you?
30452Eat? 30452 For God''s sake, what is it?"
30452Full power?
30452Get anything, sir?
30452Go? 30452 Gone?"
30452Got what?
30452Has it a wall around it?
30452Has it any back yard, George?
30452Have we struck it yet?
30452Have we struck it?
30452Have you forgotten how close I came to going to jail over those charges of yours a year ago?
30452Have you forgotten the disgrace to me that followed?--the stigma that forced me to disappear for months? 30452 Have you forgotten,"he said,"that you talked the matter over with me before we split last year?
30452Have you gone crazy, Milton-- or is this some joke you''ve put up with Lanier and Nelson here?
30452Hours?
30452How big was it?
30452How did you know--?
30452How did you manage to bring us back?
30452How long ago did it happen?
30452How long were you in the cage?
30452How should I know? 30452 How should I know?"
30452How''s the temperature?
30452I mean, what year?
30452I not know, Señor,came the hesitant reply,"but....""But what?"
30452I trust, sir, that I did the right thing in following you with the_ Ertak_?
30452I wonder how the rest of the men are?
30452If men did n''t build this, what did?
30452In 1777; but which month, would you say?
30452Is n''t it great? 30452 Is that true, Quade?"
30452Just what do you mean?
30452Like a man?
30452Must she come?
30452No?
30452Nor anything like it? 30452 Not built by men?
30452Ott? 30452 Phil did n''t have one with him, did he?"
30452Randall-- those scar- marks on their-- faces-- you see--?
30452Rough looking country, is n''t it? 30452 Ruler?"
30452Say, Jim, why not try for that shining mountain we saw? 30452 See?"
30452So, you realized your great ambition, eh?
30452Talk? 30452 Talk?"
30452Ten minutes?
30452The blooming clock''s upside down; can you read it?
30452The ray crews are on duty, I presume?
30452Then tell me who built that machine?
30452Then there''s no life in those crimson jungles?
30452Then you did kill her?
30452Then? 30452 Was that what we heard back a ways?"
30452We''re in a mess, are n''t we?
30452We''re still here, sir?
30452Well, if somebody''s making cold light, where does he use it?
30452Were we seeing things?
30452What are we to do-- tell the authorities? 30452 What are you doing here?"
30452What are you talking about?
30452What did it do? 30452 What did you see?"
30452What do you mean, gone?
30452What do you mean?
30452What do you say, Sue?
30452What do you want to do? 30452 What do you want us to do with you?"
30452What has this to do with Miss Crawford?
30452What have us? 30452 What have you done with young Holmes?"
30452What is the number of that house on Patton Place? 30452 What is your name?
30452What the devil''s the matter with you?
30452What''s the matter with you?
30452What''s the matter?
30452What?
30452Where is your mother?
30452Where was he hidin''?
30452Which way, Mary?
30452Why did you evade her parents''inquiries?
30452Why then could not matter be sent in the same way? 30452 Why-- why did they treat us so?"
30452Why? 30452 Will it shock me?"
30452Will it show on the mirror?
30452Will you allow me to get him? 30452 Will you give the orders, please?"
30452Will you please be quiet, my man? 30452 Will you tell your men to be quiet?"
30452Would not you say so? 30452 You are the Earth- beings with whom we communicated, and whom we instructed to build a matter- transmitter and receiver on earth?"
30452You found her, eh?
30452You have come safely to Mars by means of that station?
30452You know what this is?
30452You leave me like thees?
30452You mean to bring her back to life?
30452You see it?
30452You think we can reach the coast?
30452You will not hurt me? 30452 You''re better now?"
30452You''re not afraid?
30452You''re sure it was outdoors?
30452You''ve read Scott''s diary-- that he wrote after he visited the pole in 1912--the one they found with the bodies?
30452Your orders, sir?
30452Your pal, the greaser?
30452***** Pressing the attention signal for Kincaide, I spoke sharply into the microphone:"Mr. Kincaide, is every ray on that large meteorite above us?"
30452***** Sue Guinness''s lips formed a frightened word:"Why?"
30452*****"Could you see anything outside the cage?"
30452A brickbat: Why not cut the edges of the magazine smooth?
30452A ragged cheer went up, and I heard Correy''s voice raised in angry conversation with the enemy:"You will, eh?
30452About the radium?--the borer?"
30452An hour?
30452And do you?"
30452And giving us a quarterly?
30452And how about cutting the edges of the paper smooth?
30452And that, if we are not careful, there will be an attack upon New York?"
30452And who knew the thing would break?"
30452And you are going back?
30452And your little Space in the Future?
30452And, as Sue gasped with relief, he added:"Would you like to see him?"
30452Any choice in the matter of a spot on which to set her down?"
30452Anyone who wished you harm?"
30452Are they fish or flesh or fowl?"
30452Are you all right, Larry?"
30452Are you all right?"
30452Are you hurt?"
30452As big as Earth, you said?
30452As he stepped to the door of the earth- borer he turned and asked:"How did you know our plans?
30452Bullets would not stop the thing-- could anything?
30452But by whom?
30452But just a few minutes ago-- oh, am I dreaming?
30452But the others?
30452But what if the opening were a vertical, impassable tunnel?
30452But why--""Why,"Larry burst out,"did that iron monster stop in 1777 and abduct this girl?"
30452But you-- you will not hurt me?
30452CHAPTER II_ From Out of the Past_"Sane?"
30452Ca n''t you come to the door and open it?"
30452Ca n''t you explain?
30452Ca n''t you print at least one for an experiment?
30452Can a man be disintegrated into his component atoms and then reintegrated into two men each half the size, weight, ability and brains?
30452Can you hear me?"
30452Can you hear me?"
30452Can you?"
30452Confusing?
30452Correy?"
30452Could you keep me from going?
30452Did you happen to notice?"
30452Did you hear the glad song I sang because you have come?"
30452Do you agree to that?"
30452Do you feel it?"
30452Do you know how to write editorials?
30452From his seat at the instrument table, Harl burst out:"So he murdered a girl of 1935, and has abducted another of 1777?
30452Have n''t you guessed by now what I''m going to do?"
30452He paused a moment, then said:"Do you want to live?"
30452He said abruptly,"What is this cripple''s name, Mistress Mary?"
30452He shook his head, trying to comprehend, then muttered hazily:"You-- you''re-- Quade?"
30452Hear them now?"
30452How about giving us some short short stories?
30452How did it happen?"
30452How he vanished, with the police guarding every exit to that house-- well, it''s obvious, is n''t it?
30452I ca n''t very well leave her here all unprotected, can I?"
30452I called,"Can you hear us?
30452I said,"Did you have any enemy?
30452If you have not, why do you not tell us where Miss Crawford is?"
30452Is it locked on the inside?"
30452Is it my imagination or have you been using a better grade of paper in the past two issues?
30452Is she familiar?"
30452Is that clear?"
30452Its ascent was so labored that Phil shouted to Professor Guinness:"Why so slow?"
30452Killed?
30452Kincaide?"
30452Kincaide?"
30452Kincaide?"
30452Larry began,"But can you get to the other cage?"
30452Larry demanded,"Are you alone in there?"
30452Larry was saying,"Wish we would get a storm to clear this air--_what the devil?_ George, did you hear that?"
30452Larry was saying,"Wish we would get a storm to clear this air--_what the devil?_ George, did you hear that?"
30452Look around; see what''s happened?"
30452Mistress Mary, did this Tugh in your Time ever consult doctors, trying to have his crippled body made whole?"
30452Mistress Mary, had you never seen this cage before?"
30452Mr. Hendricks will stand the eight to twelve watch as usual?"
30452Now, why not reprint some of them and give us a chance to read them?
30452Or go peaceably along with them-- assuming we are n''t killed at once-- on the chance that we can make a break later?"
30452Perhaps you remember the shot that sounded from the water- hole?
30452Ready?"
30452Sail in and die fighting?
30452See?"
30452Several of the men were moving about, dazedly, and as I signalled to them, reassuringly, a voice hailed us from the doorway:"Any orders, sir?"
30452Shall we chance it?
30452Shall we see?"
30452Shall we stop, Tina?"
30452Shall we try it, sir?"
30452She cried out in terror,"Will they add to our misery?"
30452She finally exclaimed:"But-- but then Phil''s alive?"
30452She murmured,"Is this New York?"
30452Simple, eh?...
30452Suppose there were no atmosphere surrounding Zeud to cushion their descent into the hundred- mile crater that yawned to receive them?
30452Suppose we take matter and by applying electrical force to it change its wave- length, step it up to the wave- length of radio vibrations?
30452Take Mistress Mary Atwood to Police Headquarters and inform them that she has come from the year 1777?
30452That''s a long way from the Beginning, is n''t it?
30452The minute?"
30452Those others, which brought to the City of New York such amazing disaster?
30452Try it?
30452Was anything like that known to your Time?"
30452Was it many hours?"
30452Was it minutes or hours, Randall wondered afterward, of that horrible progress downward, that passed before they glimpsed light beneath?
30452Was it obvious that the effects of the numbing poison was wearing off?
30452Was the girl from out of the past giving us a warning of coming disaster to this great city?
30452Was there no release?
30452Were they on some invisible eminence, above the reach of these queer creatures?
30452Wesso is great, so why not have all the illustrations by him?
30452What are they, in God''s name?
30452What do you mean by it?"
30452What do you mean?"
30452What happened?
30452What is it?"
30452What is it?"
30452What made it break?
30452What was it like?"
30452What''ll we do then?
30452What''s that?"
30452What''s that?"
30452What''s the matter with you?
30452When did Tugh vanish from your world?"
30452When?
30452Where am I?
30452Where-- where did Quade go to?"
30452Who are you?"
30452Why change the size?
30452Why not?
30452Why not?
30452Why?"
30452Will you please leave me alone, now, so that I can continue?"
30452Will you tell Felix to bring us some food, plenty of it?"
30452With such versatile authors as Burks( When does his next story appear?
30452Would they be bitten again-- or eaten?
30452Would this go on through eternity?
30452Yes?
30452You have come, then, to learn of this world and to take back what you learn to your races?"
30452You will, wo n''t you-- without making a fuss?"
30452[?]
29848Abandon ship-- open the sea- cocks-- sink it for the insurance?
29848All right, Paula?
29848And how-- how did you get down here? 29848 And it flew?"
29848And these?
29848And what do you do with it?
29848Anita, what are you doing?
29848Any at all about the place?
29848Any more little pets about?
29848Are all women fools?
29848Are his motors smooth? 29848 Are we all imbeciles?
29848Are you hurt?
29848Are you hurt?
29848Are-- will you go back there?
29848Blood stains?
29848Breakers, you said?
29848But all those gadgets inside and on the bottom--?
29848But now what?
29848But the monsters?
29848But whoever saw a cricket fifteen inches long?
29848But why the moon?
29848But--Johns had unconsciously dropped his voice to a whisper--"what of these strange creatures?
29848But, Robert,began Ruth Allaire,"you do n''t mean to risk your life on a foolish bet?"
29848But-- but did n''t it hurt you to carry it?
29848But-- but what made those fish come up that way?
29848Ca n''t help you, Snap?
29848Can it see in the dark?
29848Can you get the_ Nagasaki_?
29848Can you run?
29848Can you swim, Jerry?
29848Chief? 29848 Commander, where shall I put these helmets?"
29848Dead?
29848Did n''t know I was all ready to leave, did you? 29848 Did they go aboard another vessel?"
29848Did-- did you see them?
29848Do I need to tell you of the constant, ceaseless and tremendous explosion that follows? 29848 Do you see that test tube?"
29848Does-- does that smoke of yours drive them away?
29848Friends? 29848 Frightened, Paula?"
29848Funny water, ai n''t it?
29848Goodwin? 29848 Gregg--?"
29848Have any trouble or excitement? 29848 Hear that?"
29848Hey, Juan, what the hell''s the matter? 29848 How about it?"
29848How did you ever get it here?
29848How is it, Snap?
29848How much of a bet?
29848Hurt?
29848I-- you mean somewhat like a violet ray is increased in the lightning tubes?
29848If a man touched that radium,he asked,"what would happen to him?"
29848If you go and I go back there, what will happen? 29848 In the dark?"
29848Is that you, Thorpe? 29848 Is this radium worth as much as silver?"
29848Jerry-- where are you, Jerry?
29848Let''s see.... We have n''t a thing to eat, have we?
29848Made it, did you?
29848Must we land there?
29848No other move from them yet, Johnny?
29848No?
29848Now, Gregg-- can you fling it from here?
29848Now, when we are just at the point of success in our great experiments? 29848 Oh, Gregg, have n''t we broken the ship''s dome yet?"
29848Only that one shot, Gregg?
29848Paula?
29848Pretty, is n''t it?
29848Quien sabe?
29848Say,blurted Durkin, his face working nervously,"how the hell did that frog get so big?
29848See?
29848So you came to rob us, eh?
29848Still,said Jerry, gropingly,"what has all that to do with the moon?
29848Take me where?
29848Take them where?
29848That is this-- see?
29848That radium stuff is what makes the funny light in that mine, then?
29848The jungle is a charming place, is n''t it?
29848The key-- to the stone bank?
29848The_ Adelaide_?
29848Then why leave?
29848Then why tie me up like this?
29848This stuff has got to you, has it?
29848Turn back now? 29848 Was your father on board, Ruth?"
29848Well,asked Jerry, at length,"what''s the big idea?"
29848Well?
29848What charity would you like to name, Miss Allaire? 29848 What for?"
29848What for?
29848What is it?
29848What is it?
29848What is it?
29848What is the matter?
29848What kind of a laboratory do you call this?
29848What kind of a rotten mess is this?
29848What made you head in this direction, and where''s your outfit?
29848What now?
29848What say,said Bell suddenly,"we get aloft now?
29848What will become of her?
29848What will you bet that I do n''t sail alone from here to-- where are you stationed?--San Diego?--from here to San Diego?
29848What''s that thing?
29848What''s that?
29848What''s the difference? 29848 What''s the trouble?"
29848What?
29848Where am I... where am I?
29848Where are we, Robert? 29848 Where does it go?"
29848Where is the yacht?
29848Where was this?
29848Who sent you?
29848Who sent you?
29848Why should we leave now?
29848Why?
29848Why?
29848Will you keep me with you, then?
29848Winslow,he said,"have you any rope handy?"
29848Wo n''t you say good- by, Marahna?
29848Yeh? 29848 You do n''t know?"
29848You found this in the captain''s cabin?
29848You hear that whistle? 29848 You mean the German loosened up that much?"
29848You mean these Things you have called Petrolia actually work for you? 29848 You really do n''t?"
29848You will do nothing about it?
29848***** Was he injured?
29848*****"But why-- why?"
29848*****"Then why in the name of hell do you want it?"
29848A snake bite you?"
29848A waiting lurking horror in the depths?
29848All clear, Paula?
29848All right:"Remember how you laughed when I told you that oil would some day be mined instead of pumped or flowed from the earth?
29848And Winslow?
29848And as for letting me die-- why did n''t you?
29848And from what?
29848And it would not be ours.... You saw our lights fade down while the bolt was striking?"
29848And now that it is written I am tempted to destroy-- No, I will wait--""And now what is this?"
29848And of what use to go out and be defeated, leaving the girls here to meet death almost immediately afterward?
29848And she had let him-- them-- go...."Oh, well,"he thought,"how can I know how a princess feels-- a princess of the moon?
29848And that you saved them from becoming extinct?"
29848And the_ Adelaide_--where is it?"
29848And what is beyond?
29848And why should I care-- why should she?
29848And you can steal food and cache it for use on the way, see?
29848And"--he took a nervous turn around the laboratory--"if such a wild thing were possible, what has that to do with our trouble?
29848And, for that matter, how can we know there is no such monster, some relic of a Mesozoic species supposed to be extinct?"
29848And, knowing what you do, having seen what you have, could you call it impossible?"
29848Are we safe?"
29848Are you game to go up, Paula?"
29848Are you planning on any reprints?
29848Bolts.... How many hours have we?"
29848But did you know that my mother came from Maryland?"
29848But eight thousand feet is a lot of silt, Johns: ever thought of that?"
29848But how can we get through them?"
29848But let them realize that the thread can be broken, and what their slaves would do to them before they all went mad.... You see?
29848But now--""Yes,"the other questioned,"now?"
29848But what have they struck out there?
29848But, supposing there is such a race of things-- what will you do?"
29848But, tell me, who are you?
29848CHAPTER XXXVIII_ Triumph!_"Is he conscious?
29848Ca n''t we repair it, Johnny?"
29848Ca n''t you feel it?"
29848Can we do other than remain silent?"
29848Commander-- shall I stop them?
29848Could he save her if he found her?
29848Dead?
29848Did they lead to the outer world?
29848Die?
29848Do n''t you see it''s our only hope?"
29848Dreaming?
29848Gregg, is she dead?"
29848Had Winslow gained the top?
29848Had it been only five minutes?
29848Had the crack in our front wall broken, threatening explosion of all the buildings?
29848Had this ape escaped and menaced the officers and crew?
29848Had this been the terror that drove the men into the sea?
29848Had we broken the ship''s dome with a direct hit?
29848Have you ever met Lee Wong, the great Chinese scientist, or his Russian geological collaborator, Krenski?
29848Have you?"
29848He held the trembling figure close as the girl whispered:"Where are we, Robert?
29848He kept voicing aloud the question in his mind; what was in the queer tube?
29848He spelled her name, over and over.... Would the sleepy operator never answer?
29848He''s blind, ai n''t he?
29848Here in the deep caverns, far from the surface, was fire a thing of terror to them?
29848How about you?"
29848How big is this lake, I wonder?"
29848How can we live?
29848How could there be water or anything fluid on this side?
29848How many thousands of slaves do you suppose The Master has by now?"
29848How many?
29848How would you deal with them?
29848I shall look forward to reading it... but just what are you going to do?"
29848I told you, Brent, there was often a factual basis for fables-- remember?
29848I was thinking-- maybe you would kiss me, Gregg--?"
29848I was... where was I when you collared me?
29848I wonder if he has directional for a guide?
29848In one of the rooms of the house, behind strong bars, a man was kept who had been an object- lesson...."Is there any machinery?"
29848In the confusion of my whirling impressions I wondered if Miko were in distress?
29848Is n''t that so, Durkin?"
29848Is that the way you receive your guests from another world?"
29848It it wonderful, is it not?
29848It''s absolutely amazing, is n''t it?"
29848Jerry Foster took a minute to grasp that statement, then continued:"Granting that, why go to the moon?
29848Marahna?
29848My God, Thorpe, what is it?
29848No?
29848Now-- where are we still to find friends?"
29848Of what use for our platform to rush back?
29848Of what use to warn Miko?"
29848Only that?
29848Only these?
29848Or, instead, was it not probable that they went to some deep, subterranean dens, from which this monster had learned to come at the priests''summons?
29848Ready with your parachute?"
29848Say, Juan, who was that big Portuguee with Professor Gurlone?
29848Shall we try it?"
29848Shall you land there?"
29848She asked,"Are you speaking for yourself or the commander?"
29848Should they chance the shelter of the jungle growth?
29848Six?
29848Spawned neither of God nor Satan-- what could they be?
29848Still all clear before us, Paula?
29848That pistol of Ribiera''s-- you have it handy?
29848The Stillwater crowd?
29848The old guy''s going back to- morrow, get me?"
29848The priest''s robe?
29848Understand?
29848Was Miko making a zed- ray photograph of our interiors?
29848Was fire unknown to these strange beings?
29848Was he dreaming?
29848Was he equal to the climb?
29848Was he in time?
29848Was our rescue ship from Earth coming?
29848Was she dodging those breakers?
29848Was the scent of the hidden, shuddering men in its red nostrils?
29848Was there something really there?...
29848Was this all a dream-- a mad nightmare from which he could force himself to wake?
29848We''re O. K., ai n''t we?"
29848Well, that means something, do n''t it?"
29848Well, what if I die now... or six months from now?
29848What are your readings?"
29848What can it be?
29848What could he do?
29848What do you make of this?"
29848What do you think you''re doing?
29848What do you want of it?"
29848What is up?"
29848What mysteries awaited them?
29848What sort of creatures would they be, that could live two miles beneath the surface of the earth?
29848What was below?
29848What was the meaning of that roaring blast?"
29848What were these creatures like?
29848What were they?
29848What would the light disclose?
29848What''s the matter?"
29848Where are we going?"
29848Where are you stationed?"
29848Where can we live?
29848Where was I headed?"
29848Where was he?
29848Who are you?"
29848Who knows what life is there?
29848Who was it?"
29848Why could n''t that same pressure cool great caverns below the granite cap below the oil sands?
29848Why do n''t you try for some more of the works of the other well- known authors in this line of fiction?
29848Why not keep it that way?
29848Why not print some( not too many) stories from H. G. Wells, E. R. Burroughs and Jules Verne?
29848Why worry about a peon?"
29848Why?
29848Would he ever see her again... would he?
29848You have n''t led me on to spend a million dollars drilling a thirty- six- inch hole, just so you could test a fantastic theory?"
29848You have smashed the radio in the house?"
29848You know how to work it?
29848You understand?"
29848You''re coming, too?"
29848Young man, are you_ the_ Robert Thorpe?"
29848he gasped hoarsely,"am I stark mad?"
29848was the response,"ca n''t you see?
29848what-- will-- it-- be...?"
30177A building?
30177A coil?
30177All right now?
30177All right?
30177And do you think they are of gold?
30177And is there nothing, sir, that we can do?
30177And now, Professor, I wonder if you''d be willing to say a few words about this craft of yours?
30177And the machine?
30177And then what? 30177 And then?"
30177And what is this below--? 30177 Antillia?"
30177Are you safe?
30177Attacking?
30177Blair, do you feel it too, that eery feeling of countless eyes still watching us from Xoran?
30177But I thought,he insisted nevertheless,"that you said you were going to explore the ocean floor under the Sargasso Sea?"
30177But ca n''t you let me stay, now that I''m here?
30177But could n''t we drop down and make sure which ship it is?
30177But if you could help, would you be willing? 30177 But it_ is_ your name, is it not?"
30177But our language?
30177But surely you do n''t think anyone can molest us down here?
30177But the big catapult--"Can you not see that the big catapult is broken?
30177But what do you suppose they want with us?
30177But what happened, my dear?
30177But why were n''t we taken to him too?
30177But why were they so eager to abandon the_ Nereid_?
30177But you''ll get it all back, wo n''t you? 30177 But your age,"asked Sykes,"measured in years?"
30177But, in God''s name, sir,burst forth Croy, his eyes blazing,"by what means do they, propose to inforce their infamous demands?"
30177Can we use that on their fleets?
30177Can you not realize that I am utterly invincible in any combat with you? 30177 Can you think of any good reason why I should n''t go, when girls are flying around the world and everything else?"
30177Can you wait that long?
30177Can you wait that long?
30177Cause?
30177Crazy, am I, Chief? 30177 Dead?...
30177Dictaphone? 30177 Did Von Holtz give you that metal?"
30177Did the world ever give anything to me? 30177 Did you make some wire for springs?"
30177Did you not see that trespassers are forbidden? 30177 Did you not see the sign upon the gate?"
30177Do I get a free hand?
30177Do I look like a historian?
30177Do you believe-- really-- he can strike him down-- at his desk-- from a distance?
30177Do you expect to win all the time? 30177 Do you realize what that means?
30177Do you see, Herr Reames, the position it puts me in? 30177 Does he know it means death?"
30177Does he know-- about this?
30177For witnesses?
30177Four days?
30177Has anyone a better?
30177Have you his clothing where I can examine it?
30177Have you not searched for the means to control the life principle-- you people of Earth?
30177Have your countries not reached out for other countries when land was needed?
30177He is marooned, Herr Reames, and you alone--"Marooned?
30177How about that electronic projector on the submarine?
30177How can you talk to him?
30177How did you do it?
30177How do they fire it?
30177How do they propose to do this thing sir? 30177 How does Mr. Croy plan to frighten these people of the darkness?"
30177How does this thing work?
30177How is it that you can speak our tongue?
30177How long did Denham use this thing to look through, before he built his globe?
30177How long?
30177How the deuce do they know when it is dawn, down here?
30177In the middle of New York State? 30177 Is it a bet?"
30177Is the President at his desk at twelve?
30177Jacaro?
30177Jetta of the Lowlands?
30177May I come in, daddy?
30177May I introduce myself?
30177More killings?
30177Mr. Croy,I said swiftly,"do you realize that you are speaking to your commanding officer?"
30177Oh, why do n''t they kill him?
30177Or shall I take Miss Keith with me by force?
30177Or shall you do what?
30177Perhaps--Then he paused-- for how could he say that perhaps the situation was n''t as bad as it seemed, when it was obviously hopeless?
30177Reames? 30177 Remember how it melted out the heart of that big ship?
30177So that is the way you reward us for giving you an exclusive story, is it?
30177Some more of them damn electrons,he hazarded; then demanded of his caller:"But am I one hell of a smart guy?
30177That sky-- the stars-- they are not real?
30177The officials deny it, but what other answer is there? 30177 The pleasant young fellow?"
30177The thing, whatever it is, has been going on for four days?
30177The-- Ragged Men?
30177The-- what?
30177Then have you not enough gold already?
30177Then we are below ground?
30177Then you really expect to find the lost continent of Atlantis, Professor?
30177Then-- then my captain and crew are safe?
30177They are still all right?
30177Those circles, that square: what would you judge they were, Professor?
30177To whom, might I ask, do we owe our lives, and the honor of this interview?
30177Underworld?
30177Want me to take it on?
30177Was he--the operative hesitated for a moment--"pretty well fried?"
30177Was it a land station or a ship at sea?
30177Was the door locked?
30177We really ought to let Mr. Hunter come with us, daddy, do n''t you think?
30177We''ll gamble on it, Del,he said;"we''ve got to-- there is no other way.... And now what do you want?"
30177Well, how can we stop them?
30177Well, in the first place, what does the name_ Nereid_ mean?
30177Well?
30177What about the earth? 30177 What are you talking about?
30177What did he say?
30177What did the priest say, daddy?
30177What do you mean?
30177What do you suppose they want with us, anyway, daddy?
30177What does he say, Althora?
30177What does he say?
30177What does it mean? 30177 What has happened, Herr Reames?"
30177What is it?
30177What is it?
30177What would you make of that, Del?
30177What you goin''to do?
30177What''s happening?
30177What''s the matter with him?
30177What-- what''s that?
30177What?
30177When do we start?
30177Where are the clouds?
30177Where is he?
30177Who are you?
30177Why do n''t they kill him?
30177Why do n''t we stop and look her over? 30177 Why have you not been back?"
30177Why were they in such a hurry to be off?
30177Why, how could he have got down here?
30177Why,he asked instead,"do you not use your own submarine for the purpose?"
30177Why?
30177Why?
30177Why?
30177Will you let her go peaceably, or shall I--?
30177Without a mark?
30177Wonder what I''d do,said Tommy Reames,"if another car came along from the other end?"
30177Yeah?
30177Yes, sir?
30177Yes,said Lieutenant McGuire quietly,"for us--?"
30177You have studied some physical science, of course?
30177You have the catapult remade?
30177You hit that gate a lick, did n''t you?
30177You live here?
30177You make this?
30177You mean nitro- glycerine? 30177 You mean the flyer?"
30177You were the man who introduced machine- guns into gang warfare, were n''t you? 30177 You will impersonate him-- yes-- but what then?
30177You_ know_? 30177 ***** What was it? 30177 *****Is that possible, sir?"
30177*****"The city ahead is not the one we are seeking, sir?"
30177*****"Would it be possible to frighten them?"
30177A defective trolley?
30177A street- car?
30177A-- a freighter, is n''t it?"
30177Also, how about refraction?
30177Am I offering so little, Tommy?"
30177And I alone can help him?
30177And all the time, Larry had an uneasy feeling of gathering furtive hosts about them, waiting-- waiting for what?
30177And he repeated,"What does it mean?"
30177And how could these new friends meet it?
30177And if I failed my own folk what right would I have to you?"
30177And me, Tommy.... Would you throw your life away in a hopeless attempt, when life might hold so much?
30177And what do those who love you say?"
30177And what is there in that stuff to get Denham in trouble?"
30177And what would be the result of that audience?
30177And what would they do with this?
30177And why do you call it a torpedo- submarine?
30177And, if we fail to make the fight, what heaven worth having is left?
30177Appropriate, do n''t you think?"
30177Are n''t there all sorts of Spanish galleons and pirate barques laden with gold supposed to be down there?"
30177Are you convinced that I did not lie to you?
30177Are you convinced that the Herr Professor Denham is in need of help?"
30177Are you seriously hinting at long- distance vision through solid armor- plate-- through these walls of stone and steel?
30177But did you make some springs?"
30177But first there are one or two little things you would like explained-- yes?
30177But this devil will get him the instant he leaves... unless... unless....""Yes-- yes?"
30177But was it a room?
30177But what is the power?
30177But where was the populace, amid all this prodigious wealth?
30177But-- what does it mean?
30177Ca n''t you see that I am right, sir?"
30177Can it be done?
30177Can you do it?"
30177Compray?"
30177Could he-- or we-- wish more?"
30177Did it mean an attack?
30177Did it work?"
30177Did the tall man speak?
30177Did you hear that?"
30177Did you notice how careful he was to shield his other hand with a glove before he turned the tool on?
30177Do I get the Mint?"
30177Do you approve, sir?"
30177Do you understand me?"
30177For the love of Pete, if people want scientific treatises, why do n''t they buy books and magazines dealing with the subject?
30177Had he seized his opportunity and led the crew to mutiny, in the hope of converting the expedition into a treasure hunt?
30177Has anything else turned up?
30177Have you any more requests or suggestions?"
30177He had watched Evelyn, and he loved her--"H- how do you do?"
30177He went back to the torch and observed placidly:"The Professor ai n''t around, is he?"
30177His generator must be insulated: would he touch it with his hand, now that his own current was off?--make of himself a conductor?
30177How about a job helping?"
30177How about the rest of the bet?
30177How could he reach him?
30177How could they invent them?"
30177How do you drive it?
30177How does it differ from the common or navy variety?"
30177How does that let you out?"
30177How far away are they?"
30177How far could the Eye of Allah see?
30177How far did the invisible arm reach?
30177How long do you make it to Oreo?"
30177How much is Jacaro going to pay you for the secret of the catapult, Von Holtz?"
30177How''d it work?"
30177How, may I ask, do meteors penetrate through that imaginary substance which is too much for a powerful space flyer?
30177I wonder if they have forgotten him?
30177I--""You are a historian?"
30177Is he armed?"
30177Is he goin''to boss the job?"
30177Is it a joke?"
30177Is n''t that a building of some kind?"
30177Is n''t that it?"
30177Is that as you would wish it, gentlemen?"
30177Is that not so?"
30177Is that not true?"
30177Is the President of the United States to be a fugitive?
30177It was bizarre, of course, but does n''t a drowning person catch at straws?
30177Jacaro''s men come and talk to you at night, do n''t they?"
30177More hurried scribbling, then:"But, say-- why do n''t you go direct to Atlantis and get the real dope?"
30177Now, how about taking me up a mile or so in the air?"
30177Or am I?"
30177Or else--""What?"
30177Perhaps"--and Bori Tulber smiled faintly and terribly--"you would like to have that message direct from its bearer?"
30177Really?"
30177Scoop?
30177So he pulled out a cigarette case and lighted a cigarette and said sardonically:"The fifth dimension?
30177Some employee of the Department listening in?"
30177TNT?"
30177That big thing with the solenoid-- the coil?"
30177That is, why should n''t there be a Quarterly?
30177That right?"
30177The Herr Reames?"
30177The zipping flash of a contact made and broken?
30177Then he said:"Well?
30177Then how about their ships?
30177Then, where had this person stood-- this being who called himself the Eye of Allah?
30177Tired?
30177Tommy said eagerly:"Say, which of those things did you help him build?
30177Tried these for fingerprints I suppose?".
30177Unconsciously he voiced his thoughts:"Does the President have nails in his shoes, I wonder?"
30177Von Holtz?
30177Was that the reason he had been so willing to remain behind?
30177Was the professor wrong?
30177Was there anyone in the room-- did you enter it with him last night, Del?"
30177Was there no life down here?
30177Was there no way out?
30177We have our bombs and our rays, it is true, but what is the power of this one ship against the people of half a world?
30177Were they being led to their doom, after all?
30177What are you doing?
30177What did it bring to mind?
30177What do you want this secret for?"
30177What had happened to Captain Petersen and his crew?
30177What has happened?"
30177What if I am?"
30177What if anything went wrong with their pressure- suits-- or if they should become lost?
30177What is the joke, anyhow?"
30177What is the use of having various publications if they must all be conducted along identical lines?
30177What strange sub- sea enemy had overcome them?
30177What throws it out through space?"
30177What was now their fate?
30177What was this strange sense of tension, of foreboding, that hung in the air?
30177What was to be done?
30177What would you care to have me say?"
30177What would you suggest, sir?"
30177What''s the matter?
30177What''s your price?"
30177When are you planning to leave, Professor?"
30177Where had he slipped?
30177Where was the generator-- the origin of this wireless power; along what channel did it flow?
30177Where''s th''thing Jacaro wants?"
30177Who is that girl?"
30177Why do you permit--?"
30177Why not adopt a tolerant attitude, and instead of howling about petty faults and mistakes get a good laugh over them?
30177Why not this one?
30177Why pick on the fifth?"
30177Why should we, when we have so much fine land upon which the sun shines bright and fair always, save for the two brief seasons of rain?
30177Why-- why, what are you doing here, young man?"
30177Why?
30177Will I not be accused of having put him out of the way?"
30177Will it really cause them anguish on your Earth, Tommy?"
30177Will they send another Opener of Gates to take up the work where Arlok failed?"
30177Will you make the metal?"
30177Will you phone for a repairman?
30177Will you promise me now to receive what I am about to send, without interruption?"
30177Winslow?"
30177Would it but plunge them from the frying pan into the fire, wondered Larry, or would it mean their salvation?
30177Would it?"
30177Would they ever get back?
30177Yes?"
30177You do n''t mean to say the Mayas and Incas originated on that island of Antillia?"
30177You have men on all the auxiliary television discs?"
30177You have your menore?"
30177You know how to combine the right angles?"
30177You know how to work that metallic ammonium?"
30177You will not go, for what can you do?
30177You--"Tommy said irritably:"Are you Von Holtz?
30177_ Are We All"Morons?
30177and second,"How about refraction?"
33662Air ye any kin ter Bill Benson? 33662 Anchor?"
33662And now-- may I?
33662And why not, you poor fool?
33662Are all your children here?
33662Are them fur me?
33662Are these hers too?
33662Are we safe?
33662Are you a reporter?
33662Are you connected with the Bigelows of Charleston?
33662Are you ready, professor?
33662Are you ready?
33662Are you ready?
33662Are-- were they to have paid you for your ascension?
33662Are_ you-- He_?
33662But how did you feel? 33662 But how do you manage, Mrs.--ah-- Scud?"
33662But we never took boarders,with a stately drawing up of her head,"why should she send you here?"
33662But your family?
33662But your position?
33662But, Miss Magnet, do you know what is the cause of Russell''s fate? 33662 By my faith, where are we?"
33662By the way, how tall is your balloon, professor? 33662 Ca n''t we go down?"
33662Ca n''t we stop, professor? 33662 Ca n''t_ you_ help them?"
33662Can you catch?
33662Can you state for the_ Planet_, Miss----?
33662Can you talk now?
33662Could n''t you take me? 33662 Did you know,"asked Miss Magnet, suddenly,"that a new land improvement company was started this spring for raising four crops a year?
33662Did you note the symptoms?
33662Did you wire them?
33662Do n''t you know,he added in a whisper,"what I''ve done in your infernal place?"
33662Do you know where a man called William Benson lives, whom I understand has a-- a farm here somewhere?
33662Do you know who we are?
33662Do you mean to say that the whole thing is due to e--?
33662Do you mean,he turned to Mr. Ticks,"that this is all the effect of e----?"
33662Do you wish to enter the United States navy?
33662Does he always get up as early in the morning?
33662Father,said Betty, softly,"why do n''t ye speak to me?
33662Fly?
33662For what?
33662Have you a long ladder and grapnel?
33662Have you a pair of glasses here?
33662Have you any more with you?
33662Have you lost your way, sir?
33662Have you? 33662 How dare you ask me to drink this stuff?"
33662How did she escape?
33662How did you know?
33662How do you know?
33662How does all that electrical system work otherwise?
33662How far do they live from here?
33662How in---- can he bring her up with a haulin''-line an''git in from the rocks?
33662How long have you been there?
33662How long would it take you to get her ready?
33662How on earth did you get off?
33662How so?
33662How the D-- epartment did you come here?
33662How was all this power produced if coal was excluded?
33662I hope you feel better now?
33662I suppose it is in good condition?
33662I? 33662 I?"
33662Indeed?
33662Is it lung trouble?
33662Is there a new variety of atmospheric disturbance? 33662 Is this Cherokee Garden?"
33662Just as a matter of formality, Mr. Secretary, will you tell us where you were between twelve and two o''clock this morning?
33662Let me see; it is situated?
33662May I ask your friend''s name?
33662Miss Magnet, can you state at what exact hour the catastrophe occurred?
33662Mr. Secretary,he said, turning to the head of the navy,"shall we accept the yacht?
33662Not to- night surely?
33662Now get in, will ye?
33662Now, Inspector,continued the Secretary of State in his grandest manner,"will you kindly ask your question again?"
33662Or New York?
33662Or to Chicago?
33662Randolph?
33662Really?
33662Say,punching Swift,"you ai n''t got a chaw about you, have you?"
33662Scud energetic? 33662 Scud may get''em,"ventured an expert,"but what''ll he do with''em?"
33662Shall we fly the Union Jack, then?
33662Sir, do you recognize this card?
33662So Scud woke you up?
33662So?
33662Well, Swift, what''s up now?
33662Well, how do you like your room? 33662 Well, what then?"
33662Well,said my cousin, looking nonplussed,"how would it do to make it over to the twins?"
33662What do you propose?
33662What do you say to spending the evening with me? 33662 What does this gol- darned thing mean, anyhow?"
33662What does this mean, sir? 33662 What have you been doing in Paris, Randolph?"
33662What is her name?
33662What is it?
33662What is the matter, then, if it is n''t wind?
33662What is the speed of the fastest government boat?
33662What speed does she register, Captain?
33662What yer up ter, Scud?
33662What? 33662 When did he die?"
33662Where did you pick up that thing, Colonel?
33662Where is He? 33662 Where is your balloon, professor?"
33662Where now, father?
33662Where now?
33662Where the dickens are you going, then?
33662Where?
33662Whose vessel is this? 33662 Why do n''t they_ do_ something?"
33662Why the---- did n''t he take his dory?
33662Why unmarried?
33662Why, man,blazed Harland Slack,"do n''t you know that I''ve murdered somebody?
33662Why? 33662 Will you please tell us when you called there last?"
33662You have n''t a nip of brandy, have you? 33662 You must pardon me if I ask you if you use these cards when calling upon the President?"
33662You witnessed the destruction of Russell? 33662 You wo n''t look upon me as a sheriff, will you?"
33662You would take a Christmas present from me, would n''t you?
33662_ Was_ this his place?
33662''tain''t you, is it?"
33662***** Who does not love the Everglades when he knows them?
33662--And yet?"
33662A log?
33662A raft?
33662A squall on a day like this?
33662A wreck?
33662Ai n''t them showy?
33662Air ye an''thin''to him?"
33662And now, Swift,"--when Mr. Ticks had faded out of the room,--"who''s this correspondent signed D.?"
33662And then--""And then?"
33662And yet--"he added wistfully and thoughtfully,"and yet--""Well, if there was no tornado, what the deuce are we going to Empiria for?"
33662Are we on the verge of a new electrical discovery?
33662At what invincible vessel would the bolt be launched?
33662Bigelow?"
33662But Scud, a hero?
33662But the professor, who had few delicate scruples, waved his hat and shouted:"What''s the matter with the_ High Tariff_?
33662But what manner of man was this Doctor?
33662But where is Scud?
33662But where was Russell?
33662But why had not the shock been felt?
33662By some horrible law of metempsychosis had his old spirit passed into this too fashionable married flirt at his side?
33662Can a man abuse his electrical valet?
33662Can the navy find room for Colonel Odminton''s atonement?"
33662Can this happen to Boston?"
33662Could a man_ not_ care for her?
33662Could an earthquake account for the deadly something that filled the air?
33662Could he ever overtake the boat?
33662Could it recover itself and mount?
33662D''ye see those birds up there?
33662Did he long to"up the anchor,"and give the signal to fly ahead?
33662Did he regret freedom and lawlessness?
33662Did he regret this last and most quixotic step?
33662Did his sin at the last restrain him, that he dared not to touch the soil of America, and fondle it as his own?
33662Did it not bear an undeniable stamp of genuineness upon its face, not only through the firmness of its tone, but by the audacity of the demand?
33662Did n''t I land there before I struck Empiria?
33662Disregarding this as a feeble attempt at apology, she asked,--"What is your name, sir?
33662Do n''t ye see I''m goin''?
33662Do you come from_ him_?
33662Do you know that its cause is the despair of the world?
33662Do you live in Boston now?"
33662Do you suspect me in this infernal mystery?"
33662For the first time the query arose: What had he to do with a questionable evening?
33662Francis B. Ellesworth:_ DEAR FRANK,--What the deuce do you mean by countermanding Benson''s foreclosure at this time of day?
33662From what quarter would the ominous signal be seen?
33662Had I understood what I asked I should not have said:"Scud, wo n''t you go?
33662Had Mr. Ticks the formula for inflating a canvas tent into a balloon?
33662Had a fire swept the land?
33662Had her rescuers arrived too late?
33662Had she not been expecting the man who was to take away her home for a paltry sum of unpaid money?
33662Had they not dragged a dozen adventurers back from the same mad enterprise?
33662Hain''t ye nothing to say to me, Scud?"
33662Have a cocktail?"
33662Have n''t we struck another current?"
33662Have you new information?
33662He advanced a step or two, looked down at her from his tall height and ejaculated brutally:"_ You_ here?"
33662He could not be apprehended; but supposing that he were not well received?
33662He had not meant to abduct the first lady of the land, but what could he do with her?
33662How could he get one in?
33662How could he look at her?
33662How could that grinning, singing Scud save a jelly- fish?
33662How did she do it?
33662How was it possible?
33662How was this possible?
33662How_ do_ you feel?"
33662I have heard so much about Southern hospitality, would it be asking too much for me to rest here awhile?
33662IS A DARK POLITICAL PLOT ABOUT TO BE UNEARTHED?
33662If Benson''s farm were only eight miles away why did he not see him before he sent the command to foreclose?
33662If so, which?
33662If the mere sight of this curious elixir could clear the clots of alcohol from his blood and his will, what might come of a draught?
33662In my ignorance of the curious stolidity which falls upon the shore in face of danger upon the sea, I stood shrieking:"Why does n''t somebody go?
33662Is it a go?"
33662Is it so bad?
33662Is it you?
33662Is there a portion of our national machinery out of gear?
33662It is--?"
33662It was December?
33662Its industries are--?"
33662Its population?"
33662Its property--?"
33662Its railroad facilities--?"
33662Men met each other and asked only this question:"Have they been found?"
33662Mr. Ticks pulled out a yellow, faded, silk bandanna, wiped his spectacles sadly, and with an over- aspirated tone asked:"Yes, sir?"
33662No?
33662Of what avail courts of law and prisons if such consummate daring goes unpunished?
33662Of what was its nature?
33662Or are you_ he_?"
33662Or did it come from the fact that his authority seemed to be impaired?
33662Or was his heart that was broken by disgrace, healed by the atonement?
33662She managed to stammer out,--"What, sir, does this mean?"
33662Sit down-- and you?"
33662Supposing that one of these houses with a frontage of seventeen feet, has a depth of two hundred feet, and is five stories high?
33662Swift caught sight of the travellers face, started back in amazement, and said:"Excuse me, sir: is this seat engaged?"
33662That outstretched, mocking hand-- was it what the abstainers called the"demon of drink?"
33662That will help you, see?"
33662The chief read the message through once to himself, gave one glance at the face of his subordinate, and then said:"This is a repeat, is it not?"
33662The children?
33662The editor- in- chief looked somewhat nonplussed, and handed Mr. Ticks the telegram, with the remark:"What do you think of that?"
33662The helpless children safe, and Scud gone?
33662The men are murmuring; where can we renew our power?
33662Then she shot this question at him with a scowl,"Ye hain''t no Northerner, air ye?"
33662Then was born the thought, Why not make capital out of this resemblance which art could easily magnify?
33662Then what?
33662Then who?
33662Thet Scud?
33662This terrible, this unexpected, this deadly persecution-- how far did it extend?
33662Ticks?"
33662Ticks?"
33662Was advanced civilization responsible for this disaster or not?
33662Was he not the experienced representative of the greatest daily in America?
33662Was it a chance indignation that had fomented in England, and had leaped the channel, or was it a decree of outlawry that was passed by all the world?
33662Was it a dream?
33662Was it due to his son''s speechless denunciation?
33662Was it execration or was it joy-- this mighty sound that broke from river to shore?
33662Was it moral that cash instead of justice should be given to these stupendous criminals?
33662Was the woman an embodiment of all the past evil of his own soul?
33662Was this apparition a final terror added to her awful experience, sent to crush out the last remnant of her buoyant life and magnificent courage?
33662Was this deadly phenomenon a hitherto unknown property of the electrical fluid?
33662Wha''che got this mornin''?"
33662What are''little''uns''?"
33662What baneful miasma envelops this broad area?
33662What could be done?
33662What could one do?
33662What could there have been to fascinate, he mused, in that carafe of-- water?
33662What did she do?
33662What did that cloud contain?
33662What did you hit Jim for, Sammy?
33662What fastidious smoker does?
33662What has occurred?"
33662What her wine?
33662What horrors did it hide?
33662What is her cognomen?"
33662What is it?"
33662What is it?"
33662What is the fate of the thousands within its borders?
33662What manner of man was this American Doctor with his accursed Parisian education?
33662What position might he not buy with his American gold?
33662What shall I do?"
33662What strange orgy was this?
33662What thoughts went through the lad''s mind?
33662What was a little matter of falling ten thousand feet or so?
33662What was in it to kill?
33662What was its origin?
33662What was that implacable power?
33662What was the nature of the calamity?
33662What was the secret of its deadly influence?
33662What was this house?
33662What was this new sensation of repugnance?
33662What was this terrible thing which he was asked to drink?
33662What was this woman?
33662What will you take?"
33662What word could one say?
33662What would the following week, and the next, and the winter bring forth?
33662What''ll become of me?
33662What''ll you drink?"
33662What''ll you take?
33662What''s that boat?
33662What?"
33662Whence came that indomitable judgment that baffled the elements at their own wildest sport?
33662Whence came these muscles of steel that subdued such powers arrayed against lazy Scud?
33662Where could he have lived and not have been an active partisan in the stirring days of our devastating civil war?
33662Where do you belong?"
33662Where was the smokestack?
33662Where was the"busy hum of men"?
33662Where was the_ Mary Jane_?
33662Where were the masts?
33662Where were they and their noble booty?
33662Where were they?
33662Where were they?
33662Where''s Salt, pa?
33662Where_ were_ they?
33662Who are you?"
33662Who could blame him?
33662Who could help loving Scud, as one loves a huge, long- coated St. Bernard dog?
33662Who could overtake her?
33662Who could stop her?
33662Who could tell the terrible truth?
33662Who ever heard of a fisherman buying kindling?
33662Who forgets the relief expeditions started in wagons and on foot from every point of the compass?
33662Who had suspected this animated reference library of such enterprise?
33662Who is a boarder that he should think to comprehend the pathetic ingenuity of their eventless lives?
33662Who knew what eminent defaulter or renowned cracksman was fleeing the city in dark disguise?
33662Who knew?
33662Who knows but that it would be less expensive to change her into a glacier than to bombard her with hundred- ton guns?
33662Who thought of him and the crazy_ Mary Jane_?
33662Who were these in the van?
33662Who will own the fastest ship in the world?
33662Who would answer these?
33662Who would catch the first glimpse of the boldest and most successful gang of malefactors that this country had ever produced?
33662Who would dare complain?
33662Who would have suspected the passing of a grand storm upon the hearts of either?
33662Who''d''a''thought it?
33662Why did she not sell the Ming vase?
33662Why do n''t you men do_ something_?"
33662Why had Ellesworth not known this before?
33662Why was it that his acquisitive mind had not roamed over this field before?
33662Why?"
33662Will you give us a hundred thousand in gold?
33662Will you please find out whether your coupé was in or not between twelve and two?
33662Wo n''t it blow over?"
33662Would Scud pass the reef or not?
33662Would he have run for the drowning?
33662Would n''t they have you?"
33662Would the abductors be true to their portion of the contract?
33662Would you take a glass of milk?"
33662You have n''t been idiot enough to buck the tiger again, have you?
33662You know me, Slack, do n''t you?"
33662_ Kill!_ Kill a_ woman_?
33662of this deadly atmosphere beneath us?"
33662or would it lose courage and fall, dragging its passengers to a certain death?
33662this is a real Ming, is it?"
29768Ah, so fear exists on Earth, too?
29768All right?
29768And Madge?
29768And is there no other way-- no scientific way?
29768And now that we''re friends again, would you mind asking the steward to get me something to eat? 29768 And the principle?"
29768And what''s that?
29768And you and Hackett figured it out and came after me-- took that risk? 29768 And you say, Professor, that you have brought back samples of this invisibility device?"
29768And you, Sarka-- did you hate her, too?
29768And you,he said,"what is wrong with you?"
29768Are you afraid, beloved?
29768Are you aware that our chances of ever getting back to Earth are smaller than you ought to have dreamed of taking?
29768Are you ready, gentlemen?
29768Are you willing to help, to try to get to Fellows and your city?
29768Because I said you did n''t want to meet the young senorita who loved you when she saw you downstairs? 29768 But have n''t you made any attempt to get out of here-- to escape?"
29768But how, if she passes the people of the Gens of Dalis through the flames, will she retain her sovereignty?
29768But how,said Sarka at last,"are we to be sure?
29768But is n''t there any way around it? 29768 But where are they taking us?
29768But-- Charles,she asked hopefully,"is-- is it really all right, now?"
29768Can such things be possible?
29768Can you find your way to him-- to your city?
29768Can you get us each a ray- gun? 29768 Can you glimpse a bullet passing you?"
29768Can you rescue us?
29768D''yuh think I was born simple?
29768Did he? 29768 Did you note carefully,"she said,"those aircars which were partially destroyed by our ray directors and atom- disintegrators?"
29768Did you note that no men, formed like our own, no creatures of any sort whatever, fell from the cars?
29768Disintegrated?
29768Do n''t you know you''ll get wrinkles if you scowl like that? 29768 Do n''t you think it is time we tried this new experiment?"
29768Do you know how to use them?
29768Do you know what we''re up against?
29768Do you realize the risk you''re running, young woman?
29768Do you realize what this means, Kendrick? 29768 Do you think I''m as dumb as that, Nat Lee?
29768Does The Master manage things so?
29768Does it occur to you,he asked grimly,"that it''s too important a matter for us to have any scruples about?
29768Eh?
29768English?
29768Erebos?
29768Ever hear of''getting married?''
29768Fellows was rather a buddy of you two, was n''t he?
29768From Earth?
29768Get down?
29768Going crazy already?
29768Going down?
29768Has n''t it dawned that you were a little too near our own field with that machine of yours? 29768 How about the cellar?"
29768How deep do you suppose it is?
29768How do the people themselves get off?
29768How do we get out? 29768 How do we go?
29768How do we know,Sarka almost whispered it,"that she is, originally, of the Moon?
29768How do you mean? 29768 How far do you think we must drop?"
29768How many times can they be fired without reloading?
29768How would you like a long parachute drop back to Earth?
29768I do not know, but... you mean... you mean...?
29768I remember, son, and now?...
29768I say, Jamison, did you know Paula and I were to be married?
29768I wonder,said Bell slowly, and very grimly,"if that''s The Master?"
29768I?
29768If the Black Caesar dies will you take me back to Earth again? 29768 If-- if it''s really over,"said Paula hopefully,"Charles--""What?"
29768It is rather odd, is n''t it?
29768Know what it is?
29768Leland is in solitary confinement?
29768Look for it?
29768My dear Professor, ca n''t you really guess?
29768My dear man, is n''t that my business?
29768No, I did n''t,he admitted;"but where on earth did they come from, and what are they doing here?"
29768Norman-- how by all that''s holy did you get here?
29768Not the daughter of Henderson Blake?
29768On Eros?
29768Or would you prefer a steak?
29768Ready?
29768Say, what yuh- all tryin''to hand me?
29768See this? 29768 Spooky place, is n''t it?"
29768Spying, eh?
29768Suppose he should come here?
29768Surely the proletariat has already triumphed on earth?
29768That escalator ray-- do you know how they use it?
29768That''s what?
29768The Ralas-- you mean these frog- men?
29768The edge of the satellite''s atmosphere?
29768The matter?
29768The-- who?
29768Then Fellows is in your city now?
29768Then how--?
29768Then this shaft is over a half- mile deep, you think?
29768Then what''s your theory, Brent?
29768Then you''re, going to attack the Rala city now?
29768Then you''ve thought of a way?
29768Then you-- you think those round buttons are connected with the escalator rays?
29768There''s no way in and what could be in there? 29768 This crystal sphere then, is capable of bringing to our eyes and ears the happenings of centuries past?"
29768Uh?
29768W- what is it?
29768Want to scatter it and start it growing in a half- dozen places?
29768We watch?
29768Well, Brent?
29768Well, what do you think now?
29768Well, what do you want?
29768Well, who are you?
29768What are the round buttons for?
29768What care I if I become a prisoner on the Moon, if you are with me?
29768What did you think of that woman?
29768What do you advise?
29768What do you want, then?
29768What does that mean?
29768What hope?
29768What is happening?
29768What is it, Jaska?
29768What is it, beloved?
29768What is it?
29768What is the use of this secret dome?
29768What on earth do you suppose that is?
29768What other theory can account for their disappearance?
29768What possible hope?
29768What the hell''s going on here?
29768What''ll I do with this devil, Bell?
29768What''s the matter?
29768What''s the matter?
29768What''s wrong, old- timer?
29768What,he asked boldly, in the language of Earth,"does the traitor Dalis say?"
29768What-- who is this?
29768What? 29768 What?
29768Where are you?
29768Where do you wish to arrive?
29768Where in time is that laboratory of Leland''s?
29768Where is that?
29768Where''d you get it?
29768Where''s Axelson?
29768Which buttons control the invisibility?
29768Which door?
29768Who could escape the city of the Ralas? 29768 Who''s loony now?"
29768Why did n''t you wake me up? 29768 Why do n''t you break in the door?"
29768Why do n''t you kill us, too?
29768Why do you suppose it did n''t work?
29768Why not call the police?
29768Why not come?
29768Why? 29768 Will she make it, father?"
29768Wo n''t they have guards out?
29768Wonder if they are humans?
29768Yes, but where is he?
29768Yes?
29768You are men from Earth?
29768You can manage without me, father?
29768You do n''t want to go down there, do you?
29768You do n''t? 29768 You know English-- you understand me?"
29768You know your orders, Benson? 29768 You looked for a gun?"
29768You mean that during the period of transposition you are invisible?
29768You mean...?
29768You think we are in friendly hands?
29768You trust me now?
29768You''re amused?
29768You''re not going to be cross about it, are you?
29768You-- will be able to think about me sometimes,asked Paula wistfully,"instead of about The Master always?"
29768You-- you mean--?
29768Your orders are clear?
29768_ Did_ he know?
29768_ Vdes son de Porvenir, no es verdad?_Jamison hiccoughed, as one who has been out and been drunken ought to do.
29768***** But could Sarka and Jaska turn their new- found knowledge to their own use?
29768***** But where was the enemy?
29768*****"Where is your Kommandant?"
29768*****"Why not?
297681?
29768And be engulfed?
29768And do you imagine The Master does n''t know we''re here?"
29768And now, may I ask, are you ready to return to your own land?"
29768And then....""And then--?"
29768And this woman clothed in radiance-- who was she?
29768And we''ll not even be bent, let alone busted?"
29768And what?
29768And would the improvised broadcasting apparatus of the area stand the stupendous strain that would be placed upon it if the ray came down?
29768Any more than that?"
29768Are you afraid to attempt it?
29768Are you going to kill them?"
29768Are you ready?"
29768But did you see her eyes?
29768But since I am to die so shortly, why not go mad, if it gives me pleasure?"
29768But since the cubes could forestall his transmission of thought, and perhaps could read and understand thoughts, how was he to tell Jaska?
29768But the Gnomes, what of them?
29768But was there some truth in the universal fear, after all?
29768But what basis was there for such a fantastic hope?
29768But what was it?
29768But what was the meaning of this strange imprisonment?
29768But where is Leland?"
29768But would n''t it make him drop that too?
29768But you''re likely to let go at any second, are n''t you?"
29768Could n''t they be used in some way?
29768Could the force- shells be fired under water?
29768Could we ever find the plane again?"
29768Dalis had known the secret sign manual of these two; but would the intelligence of the cubes comprehend it?
29768Disintegrated and reintegrated?
29768Do Earth men mind death?
29768Do n''t know what a muskrat is, huh?
29768Do n''t you see?
29768Do you have the issues for 1928, too?
29768Do you imagine that the plane was n''t seen when it came in the Cape?
29768Do you know the difference between the brain of a man and that of an anthropoid ape?
29768Do you think it possible that, with all his Gens, he may go over to the Moon- men, form an alliance with them?"
29768Do you think the military authorities will be able to cope with it?"
29768Does she not look too much like our people, to be from another world entirely?"
29768Feeling fit?"
29768Fool-- why had n''t he thought of it?
29768For do you realize that, unless we do so, we will never again see home?"
29768Got any plans, Bell?"
29768Had he dreamed of the hammer blow of that forty- five caliber bullet?
29768Had the people of the disc learned of their preparations to counter the attack?
29768Had they been discovered?
29768He knew our secret code, did he not?
29768Hell, can damn frog- men keep us here?
29768How could it be done?
29768How does it feel?"
29768How is he?"
29768How many would be brave enough to take a gamble like that, on a fellow''s mere supposition?
29768How much does that figure in dollars and cents, Frank?"
29768How''re we going to get down?"
29768I wonder if, reading my thoughts, they would obey?"
29768I wonder what it is?"
29768If so, what is the cost including charges?
29768If the Gens of Dalis were voluntarily bathed in the lake of white flames, would they become as Luar?
29768If you charge no more than$ 3.00 would you send them C. O. D.?
29768In minutes, it seemed, he was demanding:"How much can we take?
29768Is Axelson in the house?"
29768Is Dalis arranging a treacherous truce with the Moon- men?"
29768Is he such a terrible man, this Black Caesar?"
29768Is it not 2017?
29768Is she safe?"
29768It looks like a massive column just lighter than everything around it, yet so little lighter that you have to watch closely to see it at all?"
29768It''s a long gamble, but if we can get hold of some of The Master''s poison.... Do you see?"
29768Jaska went on:"Note the gleaming thing on the ground, right below the aircar?
29768May I ask that you be patient until then?"
29768May I see your hands again?"
29768May I send for a certain medicine which will dispose of those symptoms in a very short time?"
29768Might I suggest that you bring him here, trust him in all details, and let him take my place wherever possible?
29768No?
29768Note that column of light, scarcely lighter than the light which surrounds it everywhere?
29768Now that I think of it, Jaska, how did Dalis know our secret code of fingers?"
29768Now then-- will it work?"
29768Now, what do we do with you?
29768Of little children, even, crouching, and crushing and rending the tender flesh of other little children?
29768On a day like this?
29768Or would it sear through their makeshift defense, plunging them and the whole great metropolis into oblivion?
29768Ready, Sarja?"
29768Should he throw himself tooth and nail on the monster?
29768Still in Theros?"
29768That Dalis was somehow able to communicate with the Moon- men in their own language, or through their own signals?"
29768That good enough for you?"
29768That we can-- and will-- make you talk?"
29768The revolutions, the rebellions that have made men free, were they pretty things to watch?
29768The way we came?"
29768There was a girl in Stamford.... Tell me, is it true that this is the year 2044 and that the proletariat has not yet triumphed?"
29768These were people of the Moon: but if these were Moon- men, what, or who, were those gleaming cubes?
29768This is satisfactory, I presume?"
29768To what dread rendezvous were they going?
29768Very clever; but what is the reason for it all?"
29768Want to take a drive out there with me?"
29768Was he succeeding?
29768Was he to be the Prometheus who stole fire from Olympus, the Samson who toppled down the temple?
29768Was he to bring the world to ruin, as a result of his blind groping after this new giant of power?
29768Was it complacence or suspicion that stirred the liquid in the cyst so smoothly?
29768Was it laughing at him?
29768Was it susceptible to flattery?
29768Was the Gens of Dalis being burned alive?
29768Was the sound a warning?
29768Was there even any hope?
29768Was this bluish light in the abyss the source of the light in the Cone?
29768Were some of those invisible little creatures on their trail?
29768Were they observatories of some ancient race, placed thus to pierce the mysteries of outer space?
29768What did it mean?
29768What do you say?"
29768What had brought it?
29768What is your answer to my offer?"
29768What next?"
29768What on earth could it be?
29768What say you?"
29768What should they do?
29768What was it?
29768What was its purpose?
29768What was its source, what the composition of the column?
29768What was the meaning of this?
29768What were they?
29768What works the harbor door?"
29768What year is this?
29768What?
29768When did this remarkably original idea occur to you?"
29768When do we eat?"
29768Whence came the glow?
29768Where are we, anyway?"
29768Where are we?
29768Where are you, anyway?
29768Where had the cube gone?
29768Where was it from?
29768Where''s your nerve, man?"
29768Where, Sarka wondered, were the people of the Gens of Dalis?
29768Where, save for the few guards at the house of Luar, were the people of the Gens of Dalis?
29768Whither were they leading them?
29768Who indeed would believe him if he told the story?
29768Who knows?
29768Why not take the train?"
29768Why, of all people on earth, had he alone been singled out for this disclosure?
29768Why?"
29768Will you and these men join me, or will you die as the Moon man died?"
29768Will you be seated?
29768Will you direct me?"
29768Will you risk it, to get back to Earth?"
29768With what?
29768Wonder what it was that frightened him?"
29768Would that stupendous ray be hurled back upon itself?
29768Would the proud old Earth have to come to that?
29768Would you care to see our plant?"
29768Would you like, Senor, to think in after days of that pleasant city filled with men and women tearing each other like beasts?
29768Would you prefer that I give him the task of subduing your nation?"
29768You fellows have seen pistols?"
29768You have hit upon a rather profound scientific principle, yes?"
29768You mean to say we are to be shot to the surface through the intervening rock and earth?
29768You never heard of wild beasts sleeping in beds like these, did you?"
29768You say three others vanished as I did?
29768You think it''s somebody playing a hoax on Earth?
29768You think that wiping out of China was just an Earth- joke?"
29768You understand?
29768You would have become a billionaire, do n''t you see?"
29768he sent mentally,"what does it mean?"
29198A watchman killed in the night? 29198 About here, I should think.... Have you a drill?
29198Allow them to land without resistance? 29198 And now,"he said dryly,"I suppose the Señor Francia will receive me?"
29198And that dream?
29198And that?
29198And this plan of yours?
29198And this secret of yours?
29198And what does the government want of me now?
29198And your honor?
29198Are you afraid, Dalis?
29198Are you sure you''ll get in, buddy?
29198Astronomer?
29198At what time do you estimate that the flight of the Earth in its orbit will be materially affected?
29198Bluffing?
29198Bond,he asked,"do you know Jim Carpenter?"
29198But have you read of the loss of the NY-18?
29198But how could that be?
29198But is it?
29198But supposing for a moment your mad scheme were possible, who should say whom, of all the earth''s people, should be saved, whom sacrificed?
29198But where, then, was there any point in my giving to people the Secret of Life?
29198But where,interrupted the sarcastic voice of Dalis,"are these new lands of which you speak?
29198But why have they not landed and waged their war right here without warning, if that is what they now intend to do?
29198But why,queried Sarka,"does she draw no nearer?"
29198But, how about the acceleration?
29198But, if we grant you the mastery, will you heed our advice if it is good?
29198But,objected Hart,"the messages were in English, were they not?"
29198Ca n''t you use the rocket tubes?
29198Charles-- you-- you have been poisoned like the rest?
29198Could it have been just imagination? 29198 Could the human body stand up under the strain?"
29198Darling,he said,"are you badly hurt?"
29198Do n''t you believe?
29198Do n''t you remember me? 29198 Do n''t you remember, Pete, that the one which captured us and took us out of the hole was red while in the hole and then turned purple?
29198Do n''t you see?
29198Do we follow this man who promises us life again? 29198 Do you mean to tell me that we are more than sixteen miles in the air?"
29198Do you not realize that within a matter of hours, some Gens must be sent into battle? 29198 Do you not wish now that you had gone out with your people as their leader?"
29198Do you really believe this enemy comes from another planet?
29198Do you really think...?
29198Do you remember Professor Oradel? 29198 Does it not thrill you, O Dalis?"
29198Great God, do you see father?
29198Has the time arrived?
29198Have we changed direction?
29198Have you a radio beacon?
29198Have you any idea of which direction to go?
29198Have you noticed that?
29198He is the youngest of the Spokesmen, and what better test is there for him than this?
29198Hear the latest news broadcast?
29198How about shells? 29198 How can anyone think that a fossil creature, penned in such a cell for thousands and thousands of years, could do any harm?"
29198How can he work from a fixed position to make his attacks on the earth at such widely separated points?
29198How can you tell where these heat beams are when they are turned on?
29198How could you have foreseen such a thing?
29198How did you know,demanded Ortiz suddenly,"that I serve because I despair?"
29198How fast are we going?
29198How''s this place opened? 29198 How,"he demanded,"can you return the Earth to its orbit, even granting you are able to take this initial step?
29198How?
29198I am wondering,said Sarka,"if you, my father, and you Dalis, have noted the peculiar appendages of the Aircars?"
29198I?
29198If it is a liquid, how will you prevent it from flowing back into the hole you have opened?
29198Is he dead?
29198Is n''t this a hell of a world, Bell? 29198 Is that coal in the biggest one with the dark center?"
29198Is there anything I can do, sir?
29198It is peculiar that one should love any woman,_ señores_--or do you, Señor Bell, find it natural? 29198 Just as a matter of curiosity,"said Bell mildly,"what is the excuse given on the flying field for this performance?
29198Just coming out of it, Jack?
29198Marie, dear,I asked gently, forcing the lump from my throat as best I could,"do n''t you know me?
29198Marie,I said,"where are Jim and Jackie?"
29198Mr. Barry? 29198 Now, Señor, what can I do that will serve you?
29198Now, my father,queried Sarka again, telepathically,"what direction do we travel?"
29198Now,I said,"how quickly can you put another object in the trap, re- seal the opening, and release the object?"
29198Oh, Lord,I groaned,"ca n''t I forget the office for one evening?"
29198Red?
29198Rooney? 29198 Scared, Pete?"
29198See? 29198 She''ll recover?"
29198So,retorted Dalis,"you think me mad?
29198Son, what is this thing you plan?
29198Superstition is curious, is n''t it?
29198Suppose we meet with Hadley''s fate?
29198Surely no one from our earth has made the trip to one of the other planets?
29198Take back the Secret which is known to- day to every son and daughter of woman? 29198 That would do it,"said Dalis, finding his voice at last;"but how would you control the course the Earth would take, thus thrown out of its orbit?"
29198Then they wo n''t be looking for us?
29198Then why ca n''t we see the red beam?
29198Then why, if you had the means in the beginning to enforce your will upon us, confer with us at all?
29198War? 29198 Well,"demanded Avery,"what''s all the show?
29198Well-- what do you think of them?
29198Well?
29198Wha- a- at?
29198What are you doing-- committing me?
29198What are you going to do, Charles?
29198What better test could be given than that which I am proposing?
29198What do you mean?--a death ray evolved?
29198What fuel do you use?
29198What in hell are you doing here, Bell? 29198 What is it, Jim?"
29198What is it, Jim?
29198What is it, dear?
29198What is it, dear?
29198What is it, ma''am?
29198What is it?
29198What is it?
29198What is it?
29198What is to be done?
29198What is your power?
29198What made you ask?
29198What now?
29198What on earth?
29198What say you, O Gens of Cleric?
29198What space flyer?
29198What to do now?
29198What will your Gens say, O Dalis? 29198 What would happen?"
29198What''s he up to now?
29198What''s that?
29198What''s this I hear?
29198What''s your name?
29198What, then,said Dalis,"do you think is the purpose of those appendages?"
29198What?
29198What?
29198When all the world knows the Secret, when even children learn it before they are capable of walking?
29198Where are we?
29198Where else can they be from?
29198Where then are the wrecked vessels?
29198Who are they, to make war against a united Universe?
29198Who is this enemy?
29198Who, then, will be blamed if she does? 29198 Who, then, will control the further flight of the Earth?"
29198Who-- who is it?
29198Why do you not go out and lead your Gens? 29198 Why do you speak to me of The Master?"
29198Why not,he began,"take away from men the Secret of Life, so that they will die, as formerly, when the world was young?"
29198Why not?
29198Why, miss, what is there to be wary of? 29198 Why-- why--"I stammered,"ca n''t you see?
29198Why?
29198Why?
29198Will the_ Pioneer_ be ready?
29198Will you take over?
29198Will you, then, Dalis, allow your Gens to be led to glory by a woman? 29198 Would they?"
29198Yes?
29198You are Mr. Hartley Jones?
29198You are certain that none escaped?
29198You are the representative of the Council that we commanded to appear?
29198You are working on something?
29198You believe we have the power to do all this?
29198You didt know, then, that your father''s death was arranged?
29198You have a bomb in readiness?
29198You hear? 29198 You know why our Ray Directors and Atom Disintegrators do not work, or work but poorly?
29198You make your own fuel enroute?
29198You mean work?
29198You saw the same thing?
29198You see?
29198You see?
29198You think you could reach a great enough velocity to escape the gravitational pull of the earth?
29198You will get a revolver before you search further?
29198You would have forced us into war?
29198You''ll be careful, wo n''t you, Rooney?
29198_ What?_***** Kellen nodded his magnificent old head gravely.
29198*****"And is it not, Dalis,"replied Sarka the First, softly,"for this, really, that you have come to me?
29198*****"We?"
29198*****"What do you make it?"
29198*****"What''s up?"
29198A friend?
29198A woman, moreover, who has duped you?"
29198Aal?
29198Against whom?
29198All men are at their stations?"
29198And a bit of quartz?"
29198And how about our authors?
29198And tell me, pray, if it is not true that you plan for the Sarkas their choice of the best and newest worlds of the Universe?"
29198And where had his blood gone to?
29198And you, Durce?
29198And:"What of it?"
29198Any other orders?"
29198Are you ready, O my father, and father''s father?"
29198At any rate, what better expedient was there to offer?
29198Boler?
29198But der subjects?
29198But how about the bonds?"
29198But how accomplish it?"
29198But how to attack these formidable Aircars successfully?
29198But since you do not know it, who now is master?"
29198But to what avail?
29198But what could their new, terrible weapon be?
29198But what do you think of this mess?"
29198But what is it that you wish me to do?
29198CHAPTER IX_ The Attack of the Yellow Stars_"Why should I safeguard Jaska?"
29198Could a person remember his own death in a former incarnation?
29198Dalis, are you going to allow your Gens to go into action against these Outsiders, without the inspiration of your personal leadership?"
29198Did I ever let you down in anything?"
29198Did it never occur to you that the rocket motor is built on a disintegrating ray principle?"
29198Did you use all you had?"
29198Did you use thorium?"
29198Do n''t want to quit, do you, George?"
29198Do n''t you know where they are?"
29198Do we follow this man who promises us that once again we shall dwell in plenty, without the blood of relatives and neighbors on our hands?
29198Do you refuse, O Dalis, to send your Gens against the Moon?"
29198Do you think you are teaching me anything-- about my own instrument?"
29198Drop in and see us, will you?
29198Eitel?"
29198Had there been some other reason?
29198Has he got you too?"
29198Has that fiend caught you too?"
29198Have you any news of what The Master plans?"
29198He could see the expressions of unutterable agony on their faces, could see their cheeks turn black with-- what?
29198Hime?"
29198How are you?"
29198How can I describe the sight which met our horrified gaze?
29198How can you use it?
29198How do I know, how does the world know, that you can do what you say you can do?"
29198How had Dalis learned the secret sign- manual of Jaska and Sarka?
29198How keep life on the Earth during its flight on this rainbow- chasing voyage you propose?"
29198How long a time will be required in fitting out the_ Pioneer_ for reliable space flying?"
29198How''d you get here?
29198How''d you like to come along?"
29198I ask you if you will go quietly into the car?"
29198I demanded,"Has anything happened to my family?"
29198I suppose you know what fate awaits you?"
29198I thought of telephoning, but, what was the use?
29198If Cleric does not fear for her to be Spokesman of a Gens, why should I?
29198If an amoeba is that large here, what must an elephant look like?
29198If he was to play up to Ortiz, why did n''t Jamison give him some sign of how he was to do it?
29198If we could, together, devise a way to halt this rotation for as much as a few seconds, what would happen?"
29198If you know, why remain here and watch the destruction of all the people of your Gens?"
29198In the stillness the man''s words came harsh and commanding--"Do you see the cities,"he said,"crumbling to ruins under the cold stars?
29198Inside the Earth?
29198Is it not so?"
29198Is it not so?"
29198Is reincarnation a proven theory, or unproven?
29198Is that clear?"
29198Is that not so?"
29198Makely?"
29198May I ask you?..."
29198May I invite you to be my guest on a little week- end jaunt to the Moon?"
29198May I not accompany you?"
29198Not pretending... what is the word?"
29198Now to the point, I wonder if it is possible for you to obtain Mr. Cummings''permission to have your company publish these two stories?
29198Now what is this great discovery, boy?
29198Now, shall I tell you your secret?"
29198Or is the entire staff subject to The Master?"
29198Or should he still refuse battle-- and perhaps see some lesser Spokesman go forth to win glory and imperishable renown to himself?
29198Or was it that something had happened to him?
29198Prull?
29198Queer, is n''t it?
29198She demands that I assist you and the senorita-- it is the senorita?"
29198Should he go ahead under the common leadership of the Sarkas?
29198Someone has to go; otherwise, how could I prove my point?
29198Stayin''late this evenin''?"
29198Suppose they seared the countryside and the cities and suburbs with rays of horrible nature that would shrivel and blast all that lay in their path?
29198That their revered Spokesman feared to lead them in person?"
29198The fields?
29198The frightful eyes-- had they then been but figments of the imagination?
29198Then what happens to your scheme, Sarka the Third?
29198Think you''ll be scared?"
29198To berate me?
29198To throw at my head mad schemes impossible of accomplishment?
29198Vance?
29198Vardee?
29198Was it some refraction of the light?"
29198What are your orders?"
29198What cared I that the discoveries made in the excavating of the huge metal ring were of inestimable value to science?
29198What difference who is master, so long as success attend our efforts?"
29198What do you wish of me?"
29198What does it mean?"
29198What force could be so powerful that it could even budge so many tons?
29198What have you found?"
29198What if these invaders carried the war to the surface?
29198What is it now?"
29198What is it?"
29198What say ye, Gens of Earth?"
29198What say ye, Spokesmen of the Gens?
29198What think you of the plan, Klaser?
29198What was it?"
29198What''s that got to do with it?"
29198What, then?
29198When is it your wish that we should start?"
29198Where are you staying?"
29198Where else, then?"
29198Where in Sam Hill have you been keeping yourself?"
29198Where now shall we find places for our people who are daily being born in myriads, to live, and love and flourish?"
29198Where''s that door?"
29198Which shall it be, Dalis?
29198Who had murdered Rooney, and why?
29198Why do n''t you drop around and see us one of these days?"
29198Why do you oppose us?"
29198Why do you serve him?
29198Why had she done it?
29198Why had she laughed, and left them, after the betrayal of the Master Beryl into the hands of Dalis?
29198Why not give us several stories which helped to build his glory?
29198Why not have a ballot to what size the magazine shall be?
29198Why?
29198Will you be seated?"
29198Will you give the necessary orders?"
29198Will you unseal the exit?"
29198Will you?"
29198With all connections in place, and all the world''s Beryls attuned to the speed of this one-- what would happen?
29198Would not that also disprove the whole theory of reincarnation if it is true?
29198Would they seize power the moment he moved away from the Beryl Control?
29198You did n''t think I was going to send you alone, did you?"
29198You doubtless recall a proposal you once made to Sarka the First?
29198You fellows built a new one at Newark Airport, did n''t you?"
29198You see?
29198You, Marable, what''s all this mean?"
29198Yuta?
29198_ What Think You All?_ Dear Editor: There is one question I would like to ask.
29198asked Hart,"and where?"
29198he demanded;"what of it?
29882''Would it?'' 29882 ... Bring all Nareda on our ears?
29882A little gag, Spawn? 29882 Admit that they took your bribes?
29882Afraid for your wits?
29882After all, he does stand for that aristocracy that has disappeared from the modern world, does he not? 29882 All right, Jetta?"
29882And does he talk as you do?
29882And this antidote of yours?
29882And what did you get? 29882 And who are you?"
29882And who rules over and beyond?
29882And who will believe him? 29882 Any ill effects?"
29882Any luck?
29882Are the rest of the party on their way?
29882Are they dangerous?
29882Are we going on a case?
29882Are you all right, William?
29882Are you in there? 29882 Better?"
29882But Commander--"Armed? 29882 But how does this darkness make the invisible airships luminous?"
29882But suppose she should get out? 29882 But these are times when the Intelligence Service demands much of its men, is it not so?"
29882But we can ask her when she awakens, ca n''t we?
29882By the way, have you folks eaten?
29882By the way,he inquired suddenly,"did n''t I have an extraordinarily obnoxious grandson with me when I came?"
29882De Boer, do you intend to ask a ransom for Jetta?
29882Did I?
29882Did everything go all right?
29882Did n''t President Hargreaves tell you?
29882Did n''t he get a full dose of lethane?
29882Did n''t your men leave him in the cabin when you kidnapped me?
29882Did you hear something moving in back of us, Nan?
29882Did you-- did you kill my father?
29882Do you feel perfectly normal?
29882Do you think that is not known all over Washington?
29882Do you think--?
29882Do you want to strangle me?
29882Dog of an American,he roared,"do you know why you were brought here?
29882Everything all ready, Aaron?
29882Father--"About this young American? 29882 For why would I hurt him?
29882Freda, what are you doing in here? 29882 Good fishing?
29882Got it?
29882Grandfather, what''s that?
29882Grandpa, are polar bears_ always_ white?
29882Have you had time to make an examination of that ship of Slavatsky''s, yet?
29882Have you met with success, Doctor?
29882Have you quite finished?
29882How are you going to ransom me?
29882How did you get back here?
29882How did you know?
29882How long have we been gone, Nan?
29882How many cases did you find, Carnes?
29882How many, grandfather? 29882 How?"
29882I might marry her: why not? 29882 I?
29882If a light ray is nullified upon entering the field of darkness, will it emerge at the other edge as a perfect light ray again?
29882In here? 29882 Invisibility?
29882Is it seemly,he asked,"that an officer of the American army should be brought here in chains and cords?"
29882Is it so? 29882 Is n''t there anything we can do?"
29882Jetta, are you in there? 29882 Jetta, are you near the window?"
29882Jetta, dear, do you trust me? 29882 Jetta, to- night you plan to see him again, no?
29882Jetta, you''re not too frightened, are you?
29882Jetta,Perona said to her accusingly,"that is true, then: you did talk with that miserable Americano last night?
29882Karl, what''s the meaning of this? 29882 Luke, do n''t you know me?"
29882Maynard?
29882Me? 29882 Now then, Jetta, you have heard some of what we have been saying, perhaps?"
29882Now you are perhaps in a more gracious mood, Professor? 29882 Oh, what is it?
29882Ready?
29882Run where?
29882So this is it? 29882 So you''re the smuggler I was sent after?"
29882So, you say?
29882Sooner?
29882That gas-- you can not be so vile as to send it forth again, to destroy the American ships?
29882That''s a record, is n''t it?
29882The gentleman who spent forty years of his life upon a tall pillar, in atonement for his sins? 29882 The girl''s an old friend, Commander?
29882The key to the place where President Hargreaves is?
29882Then,said Stopford,"the logical application of your method is to plunge every city in the land into darkness by means of this gas?"
29882There''s no other way out of here?
29882They held the wire while you called up the President?
29882Think we were never coming?
29882This attack will be successful, eh, Hans?
29882Those police guards at the mine to- night?
29882Try to ransom me for a fat price from the United States?
29882Well, Captain Rennell, what have you to report to us this evening?
29882What are they waiting for? 29882 What are you going to do with me?"
29882What are you going to do with me?
29882What do you expect to happen, Doctor?
29882What do you mean, Carson?
29882What do you mean?
29882What do you mean?
29882What do you read?
29882What happened to the little rat, Aaron?
29882What happened?
29882What has happened?
29882What have you to say, Rennell?
29882What is it, Aaron?
29882What is it, Aaron?
29882What is it?
29882What is there to be worried about?
29882What is this?
29882What keys?
29882What of that? 29882 What on earth were they doing?"
29882What the dickens?
29882What will we use?
29882What''s happened?
29882What''s happening?
29882What''s that for?
29882What''s that noise?
29882Where am I?
29882Where are the others?
29882Where are we? 29882 Where are you, Rennell?
29882Where is Captain Rennell?
29882Where was I?
29882Where''s the President''s secretary? 29882 Where''s your officer?"
29882Where''s your ship?
29882Where?
29882Who are you? 29882 Who told you I was attached to Intelligence?"
29882Who was he?
29882Why does not your darkness destroy all light?
29882Why should he not? 29882 Why--""Is it not so?"
29882Will you answer a question, Doctor?
29882Will you help me, Willis? 29882 Y- yes, but I am not--""A man?"
29882You call my master a forger?
29882You can rush the fleet there, sir?
29882You come, Commander?
29882You do n''t suppose, Aaron, by any chance that Professor Dahlgren is still alive and on our planet?
29882You do n''t think we''re in any danger from these beasts, do you?
29882You have heard of St. Simeon Stylites, Yankee?
29882You hear me?
29882You hear, Spawn? 29882 You insist with that question?"
29882You know your orders, Maynard?
29882You mean,breathed the girl,"that he never moved from that spot after the rays touched his body?
29882You recognize that signature, gentlemen?
29882You refuse to answer?
29882You seal her in?
29882You seriously propose to darken the greater part of eastern North America?
29882You think that? 29882 You yourselves repudiate your own Constitution, which places the control of army and navy in the hands of your President?
29882''Me stand naked in front of all them lamps and get turned into smoke?
29882*****"Did that feel good, American swine?"
29882*****"Do you know what all this means?"
29882*****"The United States Government has sunk pretty low, to involve itself in a deal of this character, do n''t you think, my dear Superintendent?"
29882*****"Well, gentlemen, am I to receive the courtesies of an ambassador?"
29882*****"What''s that, what''s that, what''s that?"
29882*****"Who''s Jackson Gee?
29882A single word came to Carruthers''ear--"Man?"
29882Against your word, Spawn?
29882And I shall see you at Mrs. Wansleigh''s ball to- night?"
29882And Jetta?
29882And is it not interesting to note that some of his stories have become actual realizations?
29882And it is that this Grant might be your rival, that worries you?
29882And the gale-- was it now sweeping northward on its mission of destruction?
29882Are n''t you going to tell me about that?"
29882Are polar bears always white?
29882Are polar bears always white?
29882Are you all right?"
29882Are you in there?"
29882Are you ready, Carnes?"
29882Are you willing to instruct me while I remove the menthium from him?"
29882As much as fifty?
29882At what time of day did they occur?"
29882But could n''t your taste be improved?
29882But had they understood the significance of those bare patches?
29882But surely the utmost ingenuity of man had not contrived to render a modern plane, with its metalwork and machinery, absolutely transparent?
29882But they''ll catch us--""Which is the key?"
29882But what about Jetta?
29882But what was I going to do about it?
29882But where are we?"
29882But who controlled them?
29882But you will ransom me?
29882But-- are you willing to follow me?"
29882By the way, may I say a few good words for Sophie Wenzel Ellis?
29882Ca n''t they open it?
29882Can they send him to prison?''
29882Can you stand alone?"
29882Can you stand up?"
29882Carnes?"
29882Could I hold them off?
29882Could I save it, and her as well?
29882Could n''t you get the rays to work sooner?"
29882De Boer''s voice:"Is he conscious now?
29882Did De Boer think he could out- distance this patrol- ship, the swiftest type of flyer in the Service?
29882Did any points of similarity strike you as you read them?"
29882Did father know him?
29882Did n''t they get us?"
29882Did you bring any with you?"
29882Did you have any trouble in getting here unobserved?"
29882Did you meet-- did you talk to Grant last night?"
29882Do n''t you see what the end must be?
29882Do n''t you think it would be a good idea to publish in each issue the picture of one of the authors, and a short synopsis of his life?
29882Do you?"
29882Does father know him?
29882Fifty?
29882For, I asked myself, why, if such a machine could produce two human identities, why not a score, a hundred, a thousand?
29882Fought out, when everything was disorganized?
29882Frighten them off, for a time, and make enough noise so that perhaps someone passing in the nearby street would give the alarm and bring help?
29882God, man, what''s happened to your legs?"
29882Grant, you hear her?"
29882Had he only dreamed all this?
29882Had the murdered man really bumped into an invisible airship, or had he only thought he had?
29882Had those devils learned to apply the gas to the surfaces of airplanes?
29882Hans?"
29882Has he any polar bears?
29882Has it got bears in it?
29882Have I your permission to do so?"
29882Have you arranged the elements?
29882Have you seen the evening paper?"
29882Have you thought of that, Perona?
29882He can get here to my house safely?"
29882Hear me?"
29882How about your precautions for to- morrow night?"
29882How can you account for it?
29882How could a bulky man glide so smoothly?
29882How could the apes and gorillas, huge as they were, hope to force the dinosaur away?
29882How did I get here?"
29882How did you get back here?"
29882How did you get here so opportunely?"
29882How did you get here?"
29882I am skilful at persuasion, no?
29882I called, louder,"Why do n''t you come in?"
29882I presume you thought that we had no way of detecting the substitution?
29882I said abruptly,"De Boer, since we are to be friends--""So you prefer to sit down now?"
29882I ventured,"And Jetta?"
29882If it was true, why had they suddenly become silent, inert?
29882If you leave her here, De Boer--""Why should I leave her?
29882In the second place Bird should have yielded more menthium, and in the third place, did you notice his hands?
29882Is father fifty?"
29882Is he not a contemptuous fellow, this American?"
29882Is it a nice story?
29882Is it not so?
29882Is she seventeen?
29882Is the ship well stocked?"
29882It has gone so far as this, has it?
29882Just what is the first step in removing the menthium from a brain?"
29882Leave her-- for Perona?"
29882May I add my voice to every other reader''s in the cry for the reprinting of"People of the Pit,"by A. Merritt?
29882Meanwhile, what did he intend to do with me?
29882Mr. Bryant asks:"Could a person remember his own death in a former reincarnation?"
29882Must they stay here?
29882My X- flyer''s a very handy thing to have, is n''t it?"
29882My second suggestion in this: Why not have a fixed position for your announcement of the stories for the next issue?
29882Or could I escape with her, and still find some means to save the treasure?
29882Polar bears?
29882Ransom me?
29882Ready, Karl?"
29882Rennell,_ Von Kettler was there!_""He went to this restaurant, sir?"
29882Shall I proceed?"
29882Shall I tell what else I saw?"
29882Shall we break in?
29882So this was that lost invisible flyer?
29882So you have awakened?"
29882Spawn said,"You think De Boer will believe that?"
29882Spawn:"You will arrange about your police on the streets?
29882Squires?"
29882Suppose I could not find an opportunity to escape with Jetta?
29882Suppose, as De Boer climbed in the window, I killed him?
29882The question is, what we shall do about it?''
29882The question we wish to put to you is, can you trace the exact course taken by the hurricane?"
29882The unknown isotope in that black gas of yours-- you are disposed to give us the chemical formula?"
29882The wind velocity--?"
29882Then came Spawn''s voice:"Got him, De Boer?
29882This Grant?"
29882To- night?--here?"
29882Vice- president,"laughed Von Kettler,"are you sure this is n''t all very much exaggerated?"
29882Vice- president?"
29882Was Captain Rennell crazy too?
29882Was De Boer rushing into a collision?
29882Was it conceivable that a gas factory, hangars, ammunition depots could exist here invisibly, when he could look straight down upon the ground?
29882Was it possible that the headquarters of the Invisible Emperor existed on this desolate prairie?
29882Was my love for her foredoomed to end in tragedy?
29882Was the other a dummy, too?"
29882Was there a torch here at Spawn''s?
29882We''re prisoners on an electron, and as such we are destined to rush through infinite space for the remainder of our lives unless....""Unless what?"
29882Well, sir, what have you to say to that?"
29882Well, why not me as well?
29882What about Jetta?
29882What are the chances of its reaching Washington?"
29882What are the soldiers for?
29882What are you talking about?
29882What became of that little rat?"
29882What did they mean?
29882What do you suppose happened?"
29882What happened?"
29882What has happened?
29882What is it?"
29882What matter if the herds of dinosaurs overrun us and destroy lives?
29882What was the matter with his mind?
29882What was the matter, Karl?
29882What were they doing, bunching together like a flock of sheep, when at any moment the enemy planes might come swooping in, riddling them with bullets?
29882What''s D- r- a- y- l- e?
29882What''s in the box?
29882What''s that got to do with it?"
29882When do you expect trouble?"
29882Where did the attacks take place?"
29882Where had he seen them before?
29882Where is Captain Rennell, I say?"
29882Where is Spawn?
29882Where is he?"
29882Which side would win?
29882Who told you that I did?"
29882Who was he?
29882Who will dare to give me the lie because a bandit tells a wild tale with no real facts to prop it?"
29882Who''s seen him?
29882Why did n''t his feet sound upon the floor?
29882Why did n''t the red mouth of the mighty dinosaur close over him and crush out life?
29882Why do n''t they go away?"
29882Why had they not long ago wiped out these few Marines?
29882Why must he kneel in torture?
29882Why not get the opinion of other readers?
29882Why not give us some stories by him?
29882Why not?
29882Why should any person ask not to have such good stories in your magazine?
29882Why should any such great author be disregarded in so good a magazine?
29882Why should n''t I feel normal?
29882Why?
29882Why?
29882Why?"
29882Will you be able to restore them?"
29882Will you come?"
29882Will you guide Carnes to the tent and then return here and I''ll join him?"
29882Will you please tell me what you are talking about?"
29882Would I come to the garden tryst?
29882Would that moment come before he crashed?
29882Would the returning ray work?
29882You are much concerned for your safety, Grant?
29882You have a flash- light?"
29882You have pack''chutes, have n''t you?"
29882You have the tent set up for us, Major?"
29882You heard from De Boer?"
29882You heard my orders to Lieutenant Maynard, did n''t you?"
29882You refuse to honor his signature?"
29882You understand?"
29882You understand?"
29882You''ve heard about the man Von Kettler''s escape last night, of course?"
29882You, an honest and wealthy mine owner?
29882Your craft is equipped with a Bird silencer?"
29882Your magazine( or should I say"our"magazine?)
29882groaned Carnes as he fumbled for the rip cord of his parachute,"suppose this thing does n''t open?"
29882what are the lives of these swarming millions worth when compared with a Caesar, a Napoleon, an Alexander, a Charlemagne?
30166A meteor? 30166 A pteranodon?
30166A what?
30166All right, Alan?
30166All right, Hammond?
30166All right?
30166Am I dreaming? 30166 And have the Quebec police up here lookin''fer''em?
30166And we do your bidding, will ye give us back His Splendor?
30166And where did Virginia go?
30166And why not?
30166And you think he does n''t count in this?
30166Are there many giants?
30166Are you hurt, Dick?
30166Are you no conscious yet?
30166Are you positive,Alden demanded of Hero John,"that this revolution in Atlans will die out if Altara is returned?"
30166Are you sure, Lina? 30166 Art thou sure?"
30166But how can that be? 30166 But what good is a.45 against brutes like those?
30166But what the devil is all this revolt about?
30166But what''s that noise?
30166But why? 30166 But you?"
30166Ca n''t you understand me?
30166Calaboose? 30166 Can you land us, Alan?"
30166Dad,she was saying,"why do n''t you give it up?
30166Did he see you?
30166Do I? 30166 Do n''t you see?
30166Einstein again?
30166Ever see so many stairs?
30166George, when we knew Polter, he was about twenty- five, was n''t he? 30166 George-- where are you?
30166Glora, do you know if any of Dr. Polter''s men have the drug? 30166 Glora, where will you be?"
30166Got any weapons here, Shelton?
30166Guns are n''t loaded, are they?
30166Have n''t you guys got enough?
30166Have those foul swine of Jarmuth dared--?
30166Have you any enemies who might be able to duplicate the impulses of that apparatus?
30166Hear me?
30166Heavens-- how do I know? 30166 Help you off?
30166Here-- what''s this?
30166His car-- stolen? 30166 His_ Tao_?"
30166How am I to know Altara if I see her? 30166 How big were those pteranodons?"
30166How can they ever combat a thing they can not see?
30166How did it happen?
30166How large are they? 30166 How long?"
30166How many?
30166How should I know how they did it?
30166How will ye accomplish this mad boast?
30166I am from Zahn: do you know the good land of Zahn? 30166 It''s a big brute: see how small the gunners look beside it?
30166Jail, eh? 30166 Know ye that the Sacred Virgin lies captive in the dungeons of the great temple of Beelzebub?
30166Know ye,continued, the graybeard priest,"that Altara is ever guarded by two thousand picked priests and warriors?
30166Might do what?
30166Mind telling me the principle?
30166No other cities?
30166Not very pretty are they? 30166 Now what, Glora?
30166Ready, George?
30166Ready, Glora?
30166Save Atlans--?
30166Something fell?
30166Speak on: is that all?
30166Terrible, are n''t they, Vic?
30166That the house?
30166Then what''s weird?? 30166 Then what''s weird??
30166Then you''ll leave the old place down here?
30166There are his lights; see them?
30166There now-- see?
30166They''ve sent you to find me?
30166They?
30166Think this idea of yours is sure- fire?
30166Thought you could put one over on Al Cadorna, did you?
30166Try to take my woman, will you?
30166Want to grab the old one?
30166What about your robots?
30166What are you going to do with us?
30166What are you going to do?
30166What are you talking about? 30166 What can we do?"
30166What do they amount to?
30166What do you want me to do?
30166What in the devil is Vic doing? 30166 What in the devil is your idea?"
30166What is it, Mr. Vail? 30166 What of the divine Altara, fool?"
30166What sayest thou, mad fellow?
30166What the devil are these idiots trying to do?
30166What would ye with these creature?
30166What''ll we do with it?
30166What''s it for?
30166What''s the good in Einstein, anyhow?
30166What''s the idea?
30166What''s the matter? 30166 What''s the matter?"
30166What''s this rot about your going into Jarmuth alone? 30166 What''s wrong with them?"
30166What-- what happened?
30166What?
30166Where is it?
30166Where''s what?
30166Who is he?
30166Who''s gone? 30166 Why did he wish this?"
30166Why not? 30166 Why were we arrested?
30166Will you fly me, George?
30166Will you take us?
30166Wonder if they could be handled?
30166Wonder what I''m booked for?
30166Wouldst thou not doubly save her, now?
30166Yeah?
30166Yes, Mr. Hammond, what do you think of Einstein now?
30166Yes? 30166 Yes?"
30166You can find out?
30166You can make this one invisible?
30166You hurt?
30166You knew of the first one''s escape, did n''t you?
30166You know of father''s break with Universal Electric? 30166 You like it?
30166You like it? 30166 You mean Polter''s men?"
30166You mean to go? 30166 You see the little box with bars?
30166You think really it best to go? 30166 You understand me?
30166You understand? 30166 You will not harm her, Polter?"
30166You would n''t want to leave George, would you? 30166 You''ll not report to Universal?"
30166You, George? 30166 ***** A mechanism of some sort-- but what? 30166 ***** But what was the purpose of the long sleep? 30166 ***** Had the fascination of the outer world drawn her back? 30166 ***** Launch himself upon it? 30166 ***** This afternoon? 30166 *****The giants live, there?"
30166*****"You know me?"
30166A crack under the door-- is that it, off there?"
30166A faster time- rate prevailed in here?
30166A gold mine?
30166A tiny figure?
30166About Einstein?
30166Alan panted,"Glora, this-- does this lead out?"
30166Alan, where are you?"
30166Am I so different from other girls?
30166An''that damn girl he stole off the terrace-- What did he call her, Barbara Kent?"
30166And Babs, abducted by him, to be taken-- where?
30166And Luhra!--what hope for her out there?...
30166And now, the rest of you Readers, what are you going to do with your share?
30166And to your normal size?"
30166And where was Polter?
30166And-- for what?
30166Another pellet?"
30166Are n''t there any tall girls in your imaginations?
30166Are n''t we all signed up as associate editors for the future"ideal magazine?"
30166Are you still rebellious?
30166As Mr. Addison says in his letter,"Why ruin a truly great magazine by catering to a misguided minority?"
30166Babs gone?"
30166Babs?"
30166Bars?
30166Big as a Moth plane, is n''t he?"
30166But Babs?
30166But how is that going to pay my grocery bill-- or yours?"
30166But how?
30166But how?
30166But in what size?
30166But who could it be?
30166But you no longer rebel?"
30166Can this priest save Altara?
30166Can you hear me?"
30166Can you not publish four new novels and one reprint in 1931?
30166Can you see her?
30166Could he and his two fellows beat off the infuriated Jarmuthians long enough?
30166Could n''t that be possible?
30166Could we chance landing inside the wall?
30166Did Horab know the truth?
30166Did you see it?"
30166Dimly, he recalled having once before encountered such an odor; when was it?
30166Do n''t you think of that?
30166Do n''t you understand?
30166Do n''t you understand?"
30166Do not the dark hordes of Jereboam beat back our frontiers?"
30166Do you remember what a pteranodon was?"
30166Do you want to crush him, and crush that young girl with him?"
30166Doggone it, but why do n''t you cut out some of that romantic stuff in your stories?
30166Dr. Polter, will you let me be with my father?
30166Following us now?
30166For instance, can a baby read magazines?
30166Forever?
30166Get it?
30166Get large, shall we?"
30166Had Polter stolen that missing fragment of golden quartz the size of a walnut which had been beneath Dr. Kent''s microscope?
30166Had she trusted too greatly in the power of his Tao to shield her from harm?
30166Half and half-- that''s fair, is n''t it?
30166Has any new and terrible engine of destruction ever accomplished that result?
30166Have ye forgotten the battle by Lake Copias?"
30166He murmured:"But what do we do?
30166He shouted,"You do that?
30166He''d know at once-- and where is Babs?
30166Here''s one point that I do n''t like: Why are all those invaders from other planets hostile?
30166How about it, Mr. Bates?
30166How could he get his hands free?
30166How d''you know they wo n''t skin you alive once you''re over the border?"
30166How deep is it?"
30166How far away in size, who knows?
30166How long will you be gone, Alan?"
30166How many shots you got?"
30166How much have you?
30166How on earth can they keep going?
30166How?
30166I mean, do they come in and out here?"
30166I rubbed my eyes doubtfully, said to Charlie,"Do you see a sort of blue haze in the pit?"
30166I would like to know if the story,"Marooned Under the Sea,"was found near New Zealand or is it just fiction?
30166I''m not asking you to do that, am I?"
30166If Virginia cares for scientific reputation--""But what is it?"
30166If he feels that way about it, why does n''t he subscribe to it and take the cover off when he reads it?
30166Is it true the phalanxes at Tricca have risen for the priests?"
30166Is n''t a sequel possible?
30166Is n''t all fiction more or less of a fairy tale?
30166Is that clear?"
30166Is that someone coming?"
30166Is that where he took the Earth girl?"
30166Is that where he went?
30166Is there a statue, a painting or something--?"
30166Is this it?
30166Iss it not so?
30166It is an island, as you know, for have you not come here from afar?"
30166It''s funny, is n''t it?
30166Just like''em to be swiping a new war machine; but had n''t they gotten enough in 1944?
30166Know that?"
30166Know what I think?
30166Know ye that this temple is in the center of Jezreel, capitol of Jarmuth?"
30166Know ye, moreover, that this vile sacrifice will be made but two days hence?"
30166Lost in size?
30166My world?"
30166Never see him again?
30166No kiddin''--where is your Editor''s pride?
30166No?
30166Now, one thing more: what part of the border is still unquestionably loyal?"
30166Of his private experiments?"
30166Or was it someone creeping along the wall of the house?
30166Or were we star- crossed, doomed like the realm of the atom?
30166Our little Babs will lof me; why should she not?
30166Polter?"
30166Quarter of a mile?
30166Question: What is the difference between an egg and a copy of Astounding Stories?
30166Savvy?
30166See the starlight on the lake?
30166See?"
30166See?"
30166Seest thou yonder Ziggurat which o''er towers all others?"
30166Seriously, now, why not consider this and take up a vote among your Readers to see what they think?
30166She called:"Why?
30166So big?"
30166Something different, do n''t you think?
30166Suppose she had seen you?"
30166Sure?
30166That girl of your world the doctor just now steal, she is friend of yours?
30166That will be nice?
30166The divinely beautiful Altara-- butchered for meat like a calf?
30166The hand of a woman-- a girl!--what marvel of miracles was this?
30166Then why should we quarrel now?
30166Thirty feet away?
30166To get larger, or smaller?
30166Try to blind him, would he?
30166Trying to dig out one of his eyes?
30166Understand that?
30166Very small?
30166Was he too late?
30166Was it true or was it a mirage?
30166Was it-- compared to my stature now-- a thousand miles, perhaps even a million miles up to where we had been two or three hours ago?
30166Was this an accident-- or treachery?
30166Was this swift embrace now marking the end of everything for us?
30166We want a magazine to be proud of, do n''t we?
30166Were the heinies mixed up in this thing?
30166What about the poor readers who want to have a Science Fiction library?
30166What did it cover?
30166What did it matter?
30166What do they amount to, after all?
30166What do you care what I do to your world?
30166What do you want?"
30166What does it all mean?"
30166What happened?
30166What happens?
30166What has happened?
30166What have I done?"
30166What if Alden or Hero Giles failed in their share of the great scheme for rescue?
30166What if something went wrong?"
30166What if the stories are like fairy tales?
30166What in the devil was a pteranodon?
30166What point was there in prolonging the pitiful struggle?
30166What say?
30166What terrible thing might happen then?
30166What the devil?
30166What to do?
30166What was happening?
30166What was it supposed to do?"
30166What''s happened?"
30166What''s happened?"
30166Whatever happens, you think of nothing else: you wo n''t, will you?"
30166Where the devil was he?
30166Where was Babs?
30166Where was Glora?
30166Where was that damned door?
30166Where were Alan and Glora?
30166Which?
30166Who are you, and who is this black beast?
30166Who are you?"
30166Who could know what some of them might contain?
30166Who stole it?"
30166Who the devil was this fellow Carlos anyway?
30166Who were"they?"
30166Why ca n''t they go on an exploring expedition to our Earth?
30166Why did I let you go?"
30166Why do n''t you try publishing a thick Quarterly?
30166Why do these skeptical and scientifically disposed critics continue to waste your valuable time picking scientific flaws in various stories?
30166Why how dare you?
30166Why not coat a teleview screen with some radio- active material?"
30166Why not have a vote on this?
30166Why should Five- Novels Monthly get all the breaks?
30166Why should I not be, with my dear little Babs?
30166Why should n''t he?
30166Why waste your time, Mr. Johnston, telling us you do n''t like A. S.?
30166Why we were arrested and-- nearly made into allosaurus fodder?"
30166Why?
30166Will ye still do my bidding and help to save our sovereign lord?"
30166Will you be ready?"
30166Will you come?"
30166Will you?"
30166Wo n''t you open the gate?
30166Would Hero Giles remain friendly?
30166Would Polter make the entire trip without a stop?
30166Would he?
30166Would we be in time?
30166Wrestle with it in a hand to hand combat?
30166Yes?
30166Yet how could he prevent the pitiful tragedy?
30166You always knew I would nefer be satisfied until I had my little Babs?
30166You are afraid?
30166You are all right, Babs?"
30166You eat your prisoners?"
30166You got Babs?"
30166You haf still determined to compound no more of our drugs?
30166You hear me?"
30166You see the island off there?"
30166You swear you''ll not reveal what I am about to show you?"
30166You think, my little Babs, that he has the drugs?
30166You understand that, both of you?
30166You would rather I killed you?
30166_ Two Problems_ Dear Editor: My last letter was entirely commendatory, but this time I am losing the full force of my critical powers(?)
30166and printing flops by cheap writers, who are ruining other Science Fiction magazines?
30166he told himself-- it was as near as he could come to a name for the machine--"and it''s been running here all this time.... What for, I wonder?
30166she whispered;"yes, my dear one?"
41481A kidnapping case?
41481A question occurs to me,said the Doctor:"will others be able to manipulate the machine as successfully as you can?"
41481Ai n''t it a small world?
41481An''''ow could I say, sir?
41481And after that?
41481And exactly what is an absolute zero?
41481And exactly what is an absolute zero?
41481And how has business been with you lately?
41481And is there no danger of the machine going wrong-- of destroying itself and us?
41481And the cloaks for Charlie and me?
41481And the-- beetles?
41481And they were all strangers to you?
41481And what''s up there, or down there, or whatever you call it?
41481And yet you had his confidence in other matters?
41481And you do n''t know what the professor was trying to invent?
41481And you feel that you have all the necessary qualifications?
41481Any more bombs?
41481Are you all right?
41481Are you hurt, Doctor?
41481Are you sure they have n''t spirited him away?
41481As a sensible man, do n''t you think yourself that your story is a bit thin? 41481 Bram got-- that girl?
41481But how about getting Haidia across?
41481But how?
41481But what are our chances?
41481But what are they looking for?
41481But what becomes of me after you have frustrated Philip''s plot?
41481But what has all this to do with finding out what has become of my friend?
41481But what if he does? 41481 But wo n''t your lens prevent the ultra- violet light from reaching your plate?"
41481But you are too interested in Wall Street to leave it for the open road?
41481Ca n''t you move that arm and leg at all, Dodd?
41481Can you think of no plausible reason for this attack? 41481 Can you throw any light on a motive for such a crime?"
41481Captain Harvey,said the general,"you are sure that dead spot has not been bombarded with gas- shells?"
41481Carnes,he said at length,"do you see anything on this gun that looks like tooth marks?"
41481Damned weird, is n''t it?
41481Did it turn off the road?
41481Did you hear any noises?
41481Did you notice anything strange about those fruit trees?
41481Did you see it, Doctor?
41481Do n''t you feel the lure of it? 41481 Do n''t you see that he''s insane?
41481Do n''t you understand me now?
41481Do n''t you understand? 41481 Do you know the nature of his will?"
41481Do you mean to tell us that auto drove itself?
41481Do you think he will live?
41481Do you wish to start at once, sir?
41481Excited?
41481For God''s sake, Doctor, what is it?
41481General?
41481Had he been drinking?
41481Have n''t you guessed yet, Travers?
41481Have they been reoccupied?
41481Have those two strayed infantrymen reported yet?
41481Have you been reading those stories that the papers have been carrying about Mammoth Cave?
41481Have you ever been to Mammoth Cave?
41481Hello, Sergeant-- Sergeant Coffee, is it?... 41481 High explosive?"
41481How can it be? 41481 How can you-- how can we dare plunge into this thing?
41481How d''you mean? 41481 How dare you?
41481How does that huge thing ever get through that crack we examined?
41481How does the secret service cut in on it?
41481How far do you think we dropped just now?
41481How large are full grown ones if this is a baby?
41481How long does that gas last?
41481How long have you known Professor Wroxton?
41481How many rooms do you occupy now?
41481How much further, Hope?
41481How near is the next house?
41481How soon are we leaving?
41481How''d you know?
41481How''s Haidia?
41481How?
41481However,Clason drew a deep breath"you see this other device?
41481In Chicago?
41481In other words, an invisible light?
41481Is he dead?
41481Is n''t this enough for just now, Burke?
41481Jimmy, ever see an apple before?
41481Jouret? 41481 King of what?
41481Live stock?
41481Love her? 41481 My God, Captain Storm, do n''t you know the difference between an insect and a crustacean?
41481My little Hope, what is it? 41481 Nicely trained horses, what?"
41481No feeling in them?
41481No, what?
41481Now you understand why I advertised for a man of exceptional character? 41481 Oh, by the way, you did n''t see my lighter anywhere, did you?"
41481On May 27th, the day your husband died, what happened, as you re- remember it?
41481Or do you fear deeds of daring? 41481 Pretty trick, what, Travers?
41481Professor Wroxton was a wealthy man without kith or kin?
41481Ready?
41481Reckon he''s lyin'', Pete?
41481Say, what the-- what-- what''s that?
41481See this range- setter?
41481See what they''re doing, Dodd? 41481 So you dismissed them as mere press agent work?"
41481Strain? 41481 Tell me,"he said in a husky voice,"how do you intend to use me?
41481That is all you know of the Jourets?
41481That so?
41481The king,Derek demanded,"Which is his apartment?
41481The machine started and turned into the road--"Did you notice anyone at the wheel?
41481Their aircraft have not been dropping bombs, positively?
41481Then how did human beings get here, and those damn beetles? 41481 These things?"
41481This gentleman desires information in connection with the death of our neighbor Mr., or is it Dr., Darrow? 41481 This you, Perk?"
41481Tommy, old man, how are you feeling now?
41481Very slippery?
41481Was anything else of value taken?
41481Was there any disturbance heard from the crack?
41481Was there really something to those wild yarns?
41481Well, Dodd, have you experienced a change of heart?
41481Well, Harlin,said the general,"Where will he strike?"
41481Well, but see here, Jimmy, suppose these beetles did inhabit the antarctic continent a few million years ago, why get excited?
41481Well, can you--?
41481Well, what do you think of it?
41481Were there any signs on the floor?
41481Were these rooms locked?
41481Were you ever near a rattlesnake den in the west?
41481What are you trying to get at? 41481 What caused you to answer our advertisement?"
41481What d''you mean?
41481What floor?
41481What happened next?
41481What happened to you after we crashed?
41481What happened?
41481What is it, a crab?
41481What is it?
41481What is it?
41481What is its nature?
41481What is there here to be afraid of?
41481What is this?
41481What kind of a report are you going to make to the Bureau, Doctor?
41481What kinda rations they give you?
41481What matter? 41481 What time is it?"
41481What was he trying to invent?
41481What we got to do?
41481What''s on your mind, Carnes?
41481What''s your estimate?
41481What, the one I saw you with? 41481 What?
41481What?
41481When was that?
41481Where does it bring us out?
41481Where is the king?
41481Where''s that, Haidia?
41481Where? 41481 Where?"
41481Who are you?
41481Who are you?
41481Who lives in the first house to the north?
41481Who lives in the next house south?
41481Why does any man apply for a job?
41481Why not have the Projector confiscated or destroyed by our own Government?
41481Why not?
41481Why?
41481Will you come along?
41481Will you excuse me?
41481Will you speak to the public, General?
41481Without unlocking any doors or taking a car, eh? 41481 Yeah?
41481Yes, what''s up?
41481Yes?
41481You believe a madman did it?
41481You believe your husband was murdered?
41481You do n''t know how to open this?
41481You do not approve of circus people?
41481You do not think anyone is going to call for any supposed package of money at one of the most congested corners in the world in broad daylight?
41481You fool,Tommy bellowed in his ear,"d''you think the south pole lies over there?
41481You mean the ship was gliding down to land?
41481You mean to say you actually believe that stuff you''ve been handing me?
41481You mean to suggest then,I shot at him,"that two full grown men have completely vanished?
41481You mean you--?
41481You say you found this thing pretty nearly upon the site of the true pole?
41481You second wave?
41481You will join our party, little Hope?
41481You''re sure you can?
41481Your prisoner has no recognition signals for his own tanks? 41481 ***** Derek was saying,We have n''t much time: can you get us to the palace?"
41481*****"But, John,"I protested"is there no other reason for your agitation?
41481*****"Have you ever proved it?"
41481*****"What do you know of this-- what''s his name?"
41481A beetle?
41481A new species of beetle?
41481A weapon?
41481Afraid of what?
41481Ai n''t that pretty for you?"
41481An executioner beetle, sent by Bram to summon them to the torture?
41481An''th''canteen stuff--""Your tank men, they get treated fancy?"
41481And as he spoke he remembered vaguely some crank who had once insisted that the two poles were hollow because-- what was the fellow''s reasoning?
41481And how were they going to get out of the damn place?
41481And why''s the grass red?"
41481Are you afraid that in this process of becoming henchman to a king you may perchance get killed?"
41481Are you familiar with fluorescein?"
41481Are you interested?"
41481Astounding?
41481Badly hurt?"
41481But even if it is, do you think that, after perfecting such a tremendous invention, the professor would commit suicide?"
41481But now, what to do?
41481But what could be the purpose behind this villainy?
41481But where was Jim?
41481CHAPTER III_ Ten Miles Underground_"What I was going to say when we were interrupted, was,''Can you beat it?''"
41481CHAPTER I_ Wall Street-- or the Open Road?_ When I was some fifteen years old, I once made the remark,"Why, that''s impossible."
41481CHAPTER V_ Intrigue_"Am I in time, Hope?"
41481Can you get into the palace, Hope?
41481Can you get us anything like that?"
41481Can you place a tent at my disposal?"
41481Can you walk?"
41481Care to smoke?
41481Carnes, how soon can we get a train back to Washington?"
41481Carnes, where is that letter from the Secretary of War?"
41481Derek said quietly,"Difficult to believe, Charlie?
41481Derek whispered to Hope,"The toilers do n''t know of this?"
41481Derek whispered,"Is that Blanca?"
41481Derek, prince of this realm?
41481Did you know that?"
41481Did you recognize any of the body- snatchers?"
41481Do I make this clear?"
41481Do n''t you recognize him?
41481Do n''t you see the distinguishing mark of the coleoptera, those two elytra, or wing- covers, which meet in the median dorsal line?
41481Do you believe, positively, that the gardener is above suspicion?"
41481Do you hear me?"
41481Do you know anything about it?"
41481Do you know the motive behind this affair?
41481Do you know which one I am going to choose?"
41481Do you realize their stupendous power, their invincibility?
41481Do you see it?
41481Do you think, in view of this yarn, that your experiments can wait?"
41481Do you understand?"
41481Do you want to right a great wrong?
41481Does n''t that suggest anything?"
41481Even if it did, what about Mr. Lathom?
41481Ever in Chicago?"
41481Got anything to smoke?"
41481Guard her for me, will you?"
41481Had I arrived in the other realm?
41481Had they seen this attack upon Derek?
41481Have you any objections?"
41481Have you any special advice to give me about the guarding?"
41481Have you, or can you get, any live stock?"
41481He demanded of Derek again,"Who are you?"
41481He did, eh?
41481He got turned around and you caught him wandering about?...
41481He had just dropped back into a lounging attitude when the door burst open and Clason flew into the room?
41481He repeated,"Did you know that?"
41481His voice rang out,"Will you obey me now?
41481His voice rang out:"What are you doing?
41481Hope said,"What is it, Rohbar?"
41481Hope, where does Rohbar stand in this?"
41481How dare you?"
41481How long does it last?"
41481How might he fan this feeble spark of volition to sufficient strength for decisive resistance?
41481How much immediately?"
41481How''d you learn it?"
41481How''y''use it?"
41481How, then, can puny man hope to stand against them?
41481I said,"Henchman to a king?"
41481I was dangling from a parachute.... By the way, where am I now?"
41481I wonder whether you are worth it?"
41481Impossible?
41481Impossible?
41481In the meantime, may I look at that gun that was found?"
41481Is that all you can tell us about the death itself?"
41481Is there a tank stationed at Fort Thomas?"
41481Is there a telegraph office here?"
41481Is there another counterfeit on the market?"
41481Is there no one who might possibly benefit by putting you temporarily out of the way?"
41481Is this it?"
41481It is n''t finished yet, but when the general says that--""Battle?"
41481It seems impossible, but has not Mrs. Darrow told us she heard this humming and saw nothing?
41481May I ask what is the object of the whole thing?"
41481Mrs. Darrow fell to smoothing out the folds in her house apron as Lees asked:"When was the only time you saw her?"
41481Mrs. Darrow, what has happened?''
41481My trained beetles are blind-- you did n''t happen to notice I''d cut off their antenna?
41481Near dawn?
41481No rest?"
41481Now what would Keane do?
41481Now, Mrs. Darrow, how long had you lived at Brooknook?
41481Odd, was n''t it, getting so much publicity after I was through needing it?
41481Of what use to me an elevator, if it had been running?
41481Or do you want to go down to work as usual in the subway to- morrow morning?
41481Or have you?"
41481Or was I still in Derek''s laboratory?
41481Really, how-- you''re not injured?"
41481Rescue an oppressed people, overturn the tyranny of an evil monarch, and put your friend and the girl he loves upon the throne?
41481Say, where in thunder are we, Jimmy?"
41481Say, you know Heine''s place?"
41481Shall I?"
41481Should he summon help, or go on alone?
41481Space?
41481Still insane upon the subject of fossil monotremes, I suppose?"
41481Suppose that I should spend a hundred million of my government''s money and the purchase prove worthless?
41481Suppose then, that we have an object, either animate or inanimate, the surface of which reflects only ultra- violet light, what will be the result?
41481That''s clear, is n''t it?"
41481The open road?
41481Then a rush of questions:"What''s the matter?
41481Then he asked:"How is the foreman?
41481Then why did he not have it out now?
41481Then why do n''t we drop to the center of the earth, you damn fool?"
41481They told him he would n''t see any of them until the battle was over?...
41481They were n''t taking any chances on any of our listening- posts reporting their tanks, eh?...
41481Very well, go on.... How did he gas our listening- posts?...
41481Walking head downward, are we?
41481Was I going mad?
41481Was I going mad?
41481Was Keane Clason a great inventor, or a madman?
41481Was he here?
41481Was it reported?"
41481Were these things real or imaginary?
41481Were we outdoors?
41481What could he do?
41481What do you see now?
41481What else could they be?
41481What for?"
41481What had I said to make them suspect me of having committed a revolting crime?
41481What harm?"
41481What is the floor of the cave like where we are going?"
41481What killed them off?
41481What matter?"
41481What other fearsome monsters might inhabit that extraordinary valley?
41481What right had he to put me through the third degree?
41481What then?
41481What will you do?"
41481What''s happened to you?
41481What''s happened?
41481What''you doin''around here?"
41481Where are the Clasons?"
41481Where is Major Brown?"
41481Where?"
41481White?
41481Who and what are you?"
41481Why did I not think of it before?
41481Why did n''t they cross into Australia, like the opossum, by the land bridge then existent between that continent and South America?
41481Why did n''t they win the supremacy over man?"
41481Why did n''t you tell me that before?"
41481Why did you bring the shells, Haidia?"
41481Why have n''t they survived into historic times?
41481Why should anyone believe that they were the three crimson nobles whom Derek attacked with his strange ray?
41481Why, of all places, had he fled down into this blind burrow?
41481Why, what was this?
41481Why?"
41481Wildly racing through the night, missing other cars by a breath, the big, visible auto continued its pursuit of-- what?
41481Will you?"
41481With a benzine label for a prescription?"
41481Would I go into the unknown?
41481Would I go?
41481Would I go?
41481Would Philip prove to be a real or an imaginary scoundrel?
41481Would a watchman hear me?
41481Would you allow me to accompany you when you make your attempt?"
41481Yeah, do n''t you get it, Jimmy?
41481Yes sir, knocked me plumb down, and--""Then what happened?
41481You could not have misplaced the other by any chance, could you?''
41481You have no relatives?"
41481You know what the humans here live on, do n''t you?"
41481You understand, of course, what color is?
41481You understand?"
41481You understand?"
41481You will not?
41481You''re ready to go to work immediately, I hope?"
41481Your prisoner objects to his rations, eh?
31168A human or a Robot?
31168Am I crazy, or what?
31168And do you want anything else?
31168And he succeeded?
31168And one capable of carrying passengers, would you say?
31168And suppose we leave it?
31168And the next move?
31168And what are we going to do now?
31168And what was the experiment?
31168And where, would you guess, are we headed?
31168And you, sir?
31168And--?
31168Any new suggestions?
31168Are we blocked, ahead?
31168Are you mad?
31168But can it be possible such creatures could have produced that rocket?
31168But did n''t I read something, too, about some anonymous Indian rajah who was thought to be raising money by disposing of his jewels?
31168But how can you say that?
31168But suppose we agree not to report it?
31168But surely, my dear fellow, you do n''t connect this gigantic plot with your discovery of-- whatever it is you have discovered?
31168But these curious creatures?
31168But where can I go?
31168But where do the Lamas figure in this? 31168 But where do we want to land?
31168But who are they? 31168 But why do n''t they come after us?"
31168But why is he different?
31168But why not Australia, for instance?
31168But why talk of anything unpleasant, when there is wealth enough here for all? 31168 But why?
31168But you, Jack? 31168 By the end of the third year they had showed Dad how to make one of those metal things--""Like that one that jumped at me?"
31168Ca n''t you see me?
31168Can they be invisible?
31168Can we get there?
31168Can you make it, do you think?
31168Cremation?
31168Davis Island?
31168Dead... these twenty years?
31168Did you hear that?
31168Do n''t you fear him-- just a little, Migul? 31168 Do n''t you hear me?"
31168Do you believe that, Migul?
31168Do you mean this girl?
31168Do you mean to say nothing further is to be done here-- that the disintegrator will work without any attention?
31168Do you mean you intend to kill us?
31168Do you think you can ever check our speed?
31168Do you understand me?
31168Do you want to see Xantra now?
31168Does it look likely?
31168Ever take any pre- law courses on how to work the invisible controls of a space ship?
31168From whence came those sounds, Priest?
31168George? 31168 Give us a ride, will you?
31168Granted it does,--a little impatiently--"but did it ever occur to you that where there''s smoke, there''s fire?
31168Have you any idea what composition this stuff is?
31168Have you ever looked at Mars through a good telescope?
31168How are you, Professor-- all right?
31168How are you, old man?
31168How long ago?
31168How many of them are there on this ship: and how many like Xantra?
31168How the devil could you, till I told you? 31168 How''s that?"
31168In Siberia, in Brazil-- but why bore you with the multiplication of my now useless wealth? 31168 Is it locked, Migul?"
31168Is it you-- or your ghost?
31168Is the man from 1935 with Tugh and the Princess?
31168Is this the fellow?
31168Just how does it happen,he asked,"that you know so much about things here?"
31168Killed him?
31168Mars?
31168Migul, can you hear me?
31168Not here? 31168 Now what the devil will be the next step?"
31168Now where the devil would you say we are?
31168Now, then, are you coming back with me and have a look at my Diamond Thunderbolt, or am I going back alone?
31168O divine Shabako,he questioned shrilly,"who is this stranger?"
31168Of course,he explained patiently,"and what if they are?
31168Radio for warships, eh?
31168Ready?
31168See here, you birds,he addressed the Cossacks,"where is he, eh?"
31168Shall we go now? 31168 So we''re going to have a moon?
31168Solar disintegrating machine?
31168Something you want me to do?
31168Suppose you_ do_ wipe out all the machines in this particular vicinity, wo n''t there be tremendous numbers left all through the Equatorial Belt?
31168The flicker of green that stopped the signals, and the green fire that got us-- what can they mean?
31168Then she is with him?
31168Then what are we going to do? 31168 Then what''s the odds?"
31168Then-- then you reached the top?
31168There-- what?
31168Tina, ca n''t we--"Follow them?
31168Us?
31168We-- we''ve said already all there is to say, have n''t we?
31168Well what?
31168Well?
31168What about this island? 31168 What are you talking about?"
31168What can they be?--or who?
31168What do you mean, cremation?
31168What do you propose to do-- murder us?
31168What do you say?
31168What happened, Migul? 31168 What is it?"
31168What is that plan you spoke of, Keston, for reconquering the earth from the machines?
31168What is this? 31168 What is thy name-- and why did he slay thy companion?"
31168What then?
31168What was the thing?
31168What was your hunch, and how did it come to lead you here?
31168What would anyone want with warships on Davis Island?
31168What you t''ank?
31168What''s happened?
31168What''s happening here?
31168What''s that?
31168What''s the matter, Migul?
31168What, gentlemen-- you have no further curiosity about me? 31168 What-- what is it?"
31168When? 31168 Where are you hit?
31168Where are you?
31168Where can we hide?
31168Where does he drive us?
31168Where does this go, Migul?
31168Where is the man?
31168Where? 31168 Who are these slaves you keep mentioning?"
31168Who art thou to come thus into the Temple, calling thyself Shabako-- Shabako, who has been dead these twenty years?
31168Who art thou?
31168Who said we were going to melt the entire glacier? 31168 Why give me up for anything so unpleasant?"
31168Why is he different?
31168Why mince matters? 31168 Why not?"
31168Why not?
31168Wo n''t the instrument show anything, Tina?
31168You are sure Tugh can not open it? 31168 You did n''t think we were going to live here in this fashion the rest of our lives?
31168You found them here?
31168You know me?
31168You see where we are?
31168You think so?
31168You want to know about what happened to the machine monsters?
31168You will have tea, my friends? 31168 You will kill Tugh?"
31168You will kill him? 31168 You''ll take us, understand?
31168You''ve completed it at last? 31168 You-- you say you are--?"
31168( a) Has it not been proven actually and mathematically that the explosions of rockets and expanding gases are even more powerful in space?
31168***** Staggering to his feet a moment later, bruised and shaken, Stoddard gasped out:"Professor are you there?
31168***** What was this?
31168A little more, now; and Clee would be able to take the disk out; but would the slaves restrain themselves until then?
31168A man''s voice answered,"You are a human?
31168Am I not Shabako?
31168Am I not he who twenty years ago-- as the High Priest says-- pursued the priestess and her lover into the land of ice?
31168Am I not the man who ruled thee?
31168And Abud, the obedient dull- wit again?
31168And did the green fire get him?"
31168And finally said laboriously:"Who-- who art thou?"
31168And he repeated Craig''s question:"Who art thou?"
31168And how could the Dark Moon receive the light that it did?
31168And it works?"
31168And month after succeeding month their memory would fade from the minds of those who had loved them, while they would be-- where?...
31168And what fate lay in store for him?
31168And what is the matter with reprints?
31168And what is the result?
31168And why did the glowing needle point at Mars?
31168And you say you have n''t any clothes?
31168And you?"
31168And you?"
31168Are you all right?"
31168But how about Keston?
31168But how?
31168But how?
31168But how?
31168But of what use would that be?
31168But the Pharaoh Shabako''s eyes were only wrathful, and he shouted:"A god?
31168But to what destination was he going?
31168But what has happened to Cummings?
31168But where were they?
31168But where?"
31168But why not foresee the demand of your Readers and have a few stories by R. F. Starzl?
31168But why not?
31168But....""But what?"
31168By the way, did n''t I notice a rather heated argument going on in"The Readers''Corner"about reprints?
31168Ca n''t the covers be more like those on the March, May, June and July, 1930, issues?
31168Ca n''t you manage to get next month''s issue out a little earlier, Mr. Bates?
31168Ca n''t you see that he is a throwback, lost in this world of science and machines?
31168Can you do that?
31168Can you prove your statement?"
31168Could a Robot lie?
31168Could you follow him to where he is now?"
31168Dared I remain?
31168Did he know I was in here?
31168Did you ever have a hunch, Professor?
31168Do n''t let me catch you prowling around, d''you hear?
31168Do n''t you desire that, Migul?"
31168Do n''t you see where we are?
31168Do n''t you?"
31168Do you know?"
31168Do you think with your sub- human minds to overcome one of the Tillas, Masters of the Universe?
31168Do you understand?
31168Does he want us for slaves?"
31168Does the author mean to say that the explosions of the tubes have to have something to push against to have any action?
31168Feel the vibrations?"
31168First, why not take a vote on the quarterly idea?
31168Had Migul returned here and gone back to Mary?
31168Had they got away or were they hiding somewhere?
31168Has she the strength?"
31168Hast thou the other, too?"
31168Have n''t you yet?"
31168Have you ever noticed that 99% of Edmond Hamilton''s stories have the same plot as"Monsters of Mars"?
31168Have you got anything sharp?
31168He bowed with mock gravity and said,"How do you do, Miss Helen Hunter?"
31168He kept peering at the place pointed out, at a spot of black even darker than the inky sky; or did he only imagine it was darker?
31168He looks much like a man; he is some kind of a man; but he''s not from Earth--""You''ve_ seen_ him?"
31168His mind framed the question,"What will I be in a moment from now?"
31168How about it?
31168How come you there?
31168How did that happen?"
31168How do we know what state we were in?"
31168How does the author calculate that in"Beyond The Vanishing Point"?
31168How had these warm- blooded people come to the far north?
31168How would you care to make a little scientific expedition to Mars, say?"
31168Human beings--?
31168I said once more,"You are sure Tugh can not do this?"
31168I''m boss, do you understand?"
31168If Migul can lead us...."I added,"Migul, could you follow Tugh?
31168In the second place, even if we could, the whole world would be overwhelmed, and then where would we be?"
31168Is n''t an eight and nine- page section a bit too much?
31168Is n''t that so?"
31168Is n''t there some way to get back to the top of the Glacier?"
31168Is n''t this a grand old world?
31168Is the_ Micrad_ coming?"
31168Is this not the priestess, Taia?"
31168It is but an example of our modern progress, is it not?"
31168It was cruel, but he was a god; and who was to question the will of a god?
31168Know how an explosive force would react in space?
31168Mechanically Clee asked:"Who are you?"
31168Men?
31168Might not the violently expanding gases fly forth from an exhaust vent to expand instantly, frictionlessly and impotently to the ends of the universe?
31168Migul, where did he take her?
31168Mum''s the word-- right?"
31168Now then, how do they steer this thing?
31168Of course, it can be improved-- but what ca n''t?
31168Or how about the sun?
31168Or perhaps you would prefer whiskey and soda?"
31168Right now?"
31168See?"
31168Shabako, he saw, really believed the superstition- conceived story he had just spun, so-- now what?
31168Shall we try it?"
31168Smell it?"
31168So you were the brainy ones, eh?
31168Something with an edge on it?"
31168Take me with thee to-- to thy-- heaven.... Canst thou not-- take-- Taia?"
31168The big machine on the mountain?
31168The green flashes?
31168The metal thing that jumps about like a grasshopper?
31168The question now is, who''s back of this thing?
31168The snow people?
31168Their origin?
31168Then the clear, sweet voice, serious again, replied,"So you swam ashore from the boat I signaled?"
31168There were lost seconds while she desperately fumbled, and Larry pleaded:"Tina, dear, what''s the matter?"
31168There''s only enough for a meal or two; and then what will you do?"
31168They were thought to be synthetic, were they not?"
31168Time- Traveler:"Say, Sulsu- D-9, has Astounding Stories brought out a Quarterly yet?"
31168To which one-- near which one were they going?
31168Vanished, sayest thou?
31168Was Tugh in there?
31168Was Tugh lurking here, waiting for me to raise myself above this opening?
31168Was he coming forward?
31168Was he creeping up on me?
31168Was the Robot lying to me?
31168Was there some legend back of it?
31168Was there truth after all in those persistent rumors of the natives about the snow people who inhabited the upper slopes of the Himalayas?
31168Well?"
31168Were their words understood?
31168Were we headed for the End?
31168What connection did this great device have with the signal of distress from the cliff, and the green fire that had destroyed the_ Virginia_?
31168What could they do?
31168What did they mean by endangering the lives of everyone, with their damned contraption?
31168What do you propose to do with us, now that you have us in your power?"
31168What do you want me to do?"
31168What had started the disintegrator in the dead of night?
31168What is that old saying about the best articles not being always in the best wrapped parcels?
31168What is their origin?
31168What is this matter so grave that it has led you to disturb us at our pleasures?"
31168What madness has seized you?
31168What makes them the monsters they have become?"
31168What manner of man was this?
31168What penalty must she pay?"
31168What was the meaning of the gleaming ring and needle?
31168What was there to be done now?
31168What would you say if I told you that I have solved even_ that_ problem?
31168What''s it all about?
31168What''s that?"
31168What''s this?_"][ Sidenote: Locked in a rocket and fired into space!--such was the fate which awaited young Stoddard at the end of the diamond trail!]
31168When will you tell the Council?"
31168Where could we hide from the machines?"
31168Where did they live?
31168Where did you find them?"
31168Where had they come from?
31168Where is Ay?"
31168Where is it-- Cape Cod, you want to be let off, Miss Gray?...
31168Where is the girl?"
31168Where was Migul now?
31168Where was Tugh to meet those Robot leaders?"
31168Where was she going?
31168Where was the Editor when this blew in?
31168Where was young Jack Stoddard, official geologist and crack mountaineer of the party?
31168Where would that be?"
31168Who are you to demand anything from us?
31168Who are you?"
31168Who are you?"
31168Who art thou?"
31168Who knows?"
31168Who were these strange visitors?
31168Why are they so small, so pale?"
31168Why ca n''t Readers be reasonable?
31168Why did n''t someone come out of the ship?
31168Why did n''t something happen?
31168Why had it been called that?
31168Why not limit it to a maximum of, say, five pages?
31168Why, the god Aten was the Sun God!--the divinity Egypt worshipped in five hundred B.C.?
31168Why?
31168Will some other kind Reader endeavor to explain it to me?
31168Will you be more quick with him?"
31168Will you kill him if we find him?"
31168Will you protect me?"
31168Will you thank your Authors for me for the very many hours of interesting reading they have given me during the past twelve months?
31168Will you?
31168Within a moment we were flashing off into the great stream of Time....*****"You think he has gone forward into the future?"
31168Would I ever see my friend again?
31168Would he fire through the doorway, or appear abruptly at the window?
31168Would it respond?
31168Would she prevail?
31168Would they ever return to their Earth again?
31168You are not sociable, after enjoying my hospitality, my transportation?
31168You can understand, yes?"
31168You have heard of me, perhaps?"
31168You know anything about it?"
31168You think I, a nobleman, am interested in the masses?
31168You''ve noticed the lumps on the back of your necks?
31168Your knife?

30691''How are you feeling now, Green?'' 30691 A slave of a pile of flesh that you must feed and protect from the agonies that attack it on every side?
30691A what?
30691About the crown which probably is still lying on the altar there?
30691Ah, I am to be sacrificed, eh? 30691 Aimu?
30691Am I not your nephew? 30691 Am I still asleep?"
30691And do you think the Duca and all the caciques will go with the apes?
30691And now,he shot out, eyeing the young man through narrowed lids,"will you please state the purpose of this visit?"
30691And what will happen to me, and to the girls, if I decline?
30691And what,Kirby asked exultantly,"does the Duca say?"
30691And yet, is it? 30691 And yet,"she went on for him,"you do not believe he would have conceded what he has, unless he intends to make trouble?"
30691And you ca n''t find out what we must rescue Naida_ from_?
30691And you do not know what the cylinder is? 30691 And you say you have no close relatives, no ties of any sort to interfere with work that is dangerous-- and something else?"
30691And-- and nothing has happened to you?
30691And-- and we can do nothing?
30691Any possible hope?
30691Are we down- hearted?
30691Are we really in such a contraption?
30691Are you able to run?
30691Are you all right?
30691Are you asking_ me_, to my face, whether I will listen to terms which you offer as self- styled victor of a battle with my caciques?
30691But Naida, whatever is there about this fragment of gold to startle you as it does?
30691But am I to be deprived of my retreat, left here like a common dog amongst other dogs, while these accursed fiends starve slowly to death? 30691 But do you mean to say that you and I are no more than a mosquito, a malaria protozoan, or even one of those trees in the jungle?"
30691But do you not remember that I said I had_ not_ come here because you summoned me?
30691But how can I find this jungle village without a guide?
30691But tell me, Aña, how did you get here?
30691But there is no food in the tower, is there?
30691But what could I have been thinking about except how you looked when we came together in that gloomy place, and walked forward, side by side? 30691 But which direction did they take?"
30691But who are your parents, and how did you get among the Ungapuks?
30691But who could have done it?
30691But why did n''t you kill him, as you killed the others? 30691 But why do you think you can be of assistance to me?"
30691But why,he asked in whispers of his fellow- prisoner,"--why this open hatred of us?
30691But, what is it?
30691But,said Karl, thinking aloud rather than meaning to interrupt,"what has all this to do with me?
30691But_ why_?
30691Ca n''t you stay by me until time to land? 30691 Can you find the entrance?"
30691Can you tell where or how he will strike at us?
30691Can you withstand shock?
30691Did you find out anything?
30691Did you plan this monstrous thing?
30691Did you see what happened to the divers yesterday?
30691Do n''t you see?
30691Do we_ see_?
30691Do you know where the villages of the ape- people are?
30691Do you mean me to understand that you can reduce a living body to its basic elements and then rebuild these elements into a remade man?
30691Do you mean the one where they used to smuggle aliens? 30691 Do you mean to tell me you know so little of your world as that?
30691Do you mind if I take it for a moment?
30691Do you realize what it means to our cause that it should have been returned to us in this way?
30691Do you see what he has there?
30691Do you speak of Sir Basil Addington?
30691Do you think-- do you suppose--?
30691Do you want to die?
30691Does anyone think we ought to try the tunnels now?
30691Does that help?
30691Eighty fathoms? 30691 Has Captain Starley told that story to anyone else yet?"
30691Has he the triangular brand?
30691Has no one learned to use these weapons?
30691Have you any idea of what all this means?
30691Have you got any puff balls?
30691Holy One,exclaimed a new priest in answer to the urge to fight,"what can we do against the golden haired fiend?
30691How can I call you?
30691How could you tell?
30691How long can you remain under water in it?
30691How much did you say they had?
30691How much farther,he asked in a voice which became sharp,"until we reach the headquarters of these caciques?"
30691How''ll you know he''s there at the time?
30691I suppose that they are weapons of the sort you used against the ape- men this morning?
30691I suppose,he said,"that anyone who was responsible for the return of the cylinder to its rightful owners, would be held in some respect?"
30691If we both went, who would work the air to let us back in? 30691 Is it Naida you are called?"
30691Is it time to tell him yet, Naida?
30691Is n''t it a shame, Hale,she moaned,"that the fire burned all the animals and insects, the machinery, and even your notes?"
30691Is that all they do to you?
30691Is there anyone else who cares to fight?
30691It''s gone?
30691Made you? 30691 Might it not have been stolen before the vessel sank?"
30691More nonsense,said Sykes;"and probably correct.... Well, what are we to do?--sit tight and give them as little information as we can?
30691My father?
30691Naida, do you mean to tell me that Quetzalcoatl was not simply a mythical monster, but an actual, living serpent which is alive_ now_?
30691Naida,he exclaimed,"do you know what those are?"
30691Naida?
30691Nini, will you go?
30691No?
30691No?
30691Now what do you think about that?
30691Now what in the hell ever got into his crazy head?
30691Now?
30691Oh, you wonder, eh?
30691On-- on the day of our union?
30691Or do we take it when it comes and fight with what we''ve got as long as we can? 30691 Quartz or glass?--what are they made of?
30691Quartz?
30691Rocket car? 30691 Saranoff?"
30691See those floodlights fastened to the cliff so that their beams will sweep across the mouth of the tunnel when they are lighted?
30691Sir Basil Addington?
30691So? 30691 Some miracle of power that will drive a fleet through space as they have done, to battle with the enemy on his own ground--"Could he help?
30691Startling, is n''t it? 30691 Still,"asked General Clinton coldly,"for what purpose do you wish to be relieved?
30691Tell me,he said to her:"do you yourself believe that this Serpent has the powers of a God?"
30691That?
30691The Young Labor party? 30691 The trochosphere?
30691Then where am I, and who are you?
30691There is to be no more fighting?
30691Think so? 30691 This vessel?"
30691To live-- and be a slave of_ this_?
30691Uncle Rudolph?
30691Under what conditions am I to leave?
30691Was this steel door part of your work?
30691We''re here,he said,"but how can we get up?"
30691Well,he asked,"how about to- morrow, and the next day, and the next?
30691Well?
30691What about that creature we saw in the cave, Doctor? 30691 What are those big bundles fastened to the lower limbs?"
30691What are you thinking about?
30691What caused that?
30691What depth are we?
30691What did you change?
30691What do you mean?
30691What do you want?
30691What does this mean?
30691What is it, Doctor?
30691What is it, Hale?
30691What is it, Ivana? 30691 What is it?"
30691What is that?
30691What is this, Naida?
30691What is your object in going down, if I may ask?
30691What shall we do with him, Aña?
30691What was it, then?
30691What''s that? 30691 What''s the trouble, a flood of new counterfeits?"
30691What''s this? 30691 What, then, do you suggest that we do next?"
30691What,asked Kirby,"is this need which made one of you cut my rope, so that I should come here?"
30691When do you think he will make a move to start trouble?
30691When will you have us start?
30691Whence came it?
30691Where did they get it?
30691Where did you get this thing which you call''a fragment of gold''?
30691Where have you been hiding and why have n''t you reported the fact of your rescue to the proper authorities? 30691 Where have you been these twenty- three years, Peter Van Dorn?"
30691Where is Aña?
30691Where is Sir Basil?
30691Where is he?
30691Where to?
30691Who are you, Aña?
30691Who are you?
30691Who have you lived with, I mean?
30691Who is it?
30691Who was the leader?
30691Why all the dirty looks? 30691 Why did n''t you examine it closer?"
30691Why did you lie?
30691Why is n''t it?
30691Why not starve them out, O Holy One?
30691Why not?
30691Why not?
30691Why not?
30691Why not?
30691Why?
30691Why?
30691Will you finish telling me,he asked of Naida,"about the task I am to perform for you here?"
30691Wo n''t that be rather risky for the cutter?
30691Would n''t you like to know? 30691 Would you like to see how life springs from a wedding of matter, energy, and consciousness?"
30691Yes, but do you believe the Serpent is God?
30691Yes; do n''t you? 30691 Yes?"
30691Yes?
30691You are very strong, are you not?
30691You do n''t think I overlooked that, do you? 30691 You do n''t think they''re going to stay here, do you?"
30691You mean I am to lead a revolt,he asked,"against these same caciques whom we are going now to face?"
30691You mean I''m under arrest?
30691You mean we are out in the open-- traveling in space-- to the Moon perhaps?
30691You said the_ Arethusa_? 30691 You say I can see atoms?"
30691You understand?
30691You''ve been kept completely ignorant?
30691Your son?
30691Your turn for what, Aña?
30691_ What?_Still kneeling half in fun, half in sincere reverence, Naida held out the precious, potent cylinder of gold.
30691_ What_ is it, Naida?
30691''What''s the matter with you?
30691***** How many had they brought down?
30691***** Professor Sykes''eyes showed his appreciation of a spirit that could still dare to hope, but he asked dejectedly:"Escape?
30691*****"But suppose your lifting cable should break?"
30691A landing would be easy, for had not the voice instructed him in the use of the gravity- energy?
30691Always to live amongst the wearers of the purple?
30691Am I not really cursed as you''ve maintained?
30691And then, I wonder if it is safe to let him go, hating me?
30691And what is life?
30691And who the devil are you?"
30691And why?"
30691Anything come of it?"
30691Are we going to allow it?"
30691Are you afraid your sea serpent will get us?''
30691Are you following me?"
30691Are you going to put out a quarterly?
30691Are you kidding me?"
30691Are you ready?"
30691Are you with us?"
30691At last he said:"And what of you and I, Sir Basil?
30691At last the young man cried out:"How did you breed these freaks?"
30691Bird?"
30691But do you mean that you never knew your sacred cylinder was so close to you all these years?"
30691But first--""What?"
30691But how is the Zar to be overcome?
30691But was there an exception?
30691But what did it matter?
30691But what did it matter?
30691But what did it matter?
30691But what happens until that time comes?
30691But where to?"
30691But who were these people of the valley?
30691But why should it not seem so, at this distance within the earth?
30691But, who the devil is Winslow?"
30691But-- Well, are both of_ you_ all right?
30691But-- but-- Oh my God, Boynton, do you mean that they''ve got it?--that it will drive us through space?"
30691Ca n''t you see the horror of it as nature works?
30691Can I help you?"
30691Can you leave the globe while it is under water?"
30691Did my messenger tell you why we are here and demand your presence?"
30691Did this station send where he was hoping?
30691Do n''t you think your author ought to brush up on his astronomy?
30691Do you consent to listen to Naida''s and my terms?
30691Do you intend to print an Annual or Quarterly, or do think you will ever enlarge the size of this magazine?
30691Do you realize this is your_ wedding_ day, and that you''re acting as if there was nothing to be done?"
30691Do you understand me?
30691Do you understand?
30691Do you want to see Aña now?"
30691Does a woman destroy a dress when she rips it up to make it over?"
30691Even if the jungle is terrible, were you not born with courage?
30691Fifteen?
30691Had the face been real or a dream?
30691Have n''t you guessed by now what I am getting ready to do?"
30691Have you been making love to Aña again, after my warning to you?"
30691Have you never read anything?
30691Have_ you_ been eating it?"
30691He a king?
30691Hopeless?
30691How could Cor speak English?
30691How did they get here?"
30691How do you think a white woman could appear in a tribe of Indians who live in the jungle, many weeks''journey from what you call civilization?"
30691How high could they ascend?_ From one of the planes he saw the world below; the ships were near their ceiling; this was the limit of their climb.
30691How much could he comprehend?
30691How will we use it for travelling through space?"
30691How will you apply it?
30691I suppose you could find the entrance which was sealed up?"
30691In Heaven''s name, how many were there?
30691In the first place, must you make your covers as lurid and as contradictory to good design as they are?
30691Is he dead?"
30691Is there_ anything_ we can do?"
30691Just what does that mean?"
30691Large thought, eh, sweetheart?"
30691Last question of all: had the beautiful girl''s face he believed he had seen just once, been real or an hallucination?
30691May we not, then, go to the temple?
30691Mitchell?''
30691Moon men?"
30691My birthright-- where is it?"
30691Naida, is this high priest we''re waiting for, the one who proposed sacrifice of some of you to the apes?"
30691No life could survive these vibrations of destruction?
30691Oh, what are they planning?
30691Oh, what does it mean?"
30691Once he asked:"If this man had died naturally, could you have brought him back to life?"
30691Or was it his own fault?
30691Pretty cocky, are n''t you?
30691Radium?
30691See that jupati tree by the rock disappear?"
30691See, Unani Assu?
30691Shall we go on?--make a break for it?"
30691Shall we, too, be caught in this wholesale destruction?"
30691Sixteen?
30691Suddenly he wheeled on Hale and asked sharply,"How are your nerves, young man?"
30691Suddenly the scientist threw up his hand and cried:"You see?
30691Suicide?
30691Tell me, may I hope that it will be so-- to- morrow?"
30691The Serpent comes out of his chasm and--""What chasm?"
30691The news broadcasts, the thought exchangers-- don''t you follow them at all?"
30691Then what?
30691Then--"But what the devil is it all about?"
30691Through every corner of the earth where life lurks, they would reach?"
30691To Sir Basil he said:"But if all life disappears from the earth, what shall we do for food-- you, Aña, and I?"
30691To be responsible for the welfare of half the world?
30691Understand?
30691Was he in another world?
30691Was there one little thing that he could do to apply their knowledge to practical ends?
30691Was this the station that had communicated with the ship that had hovered above their flying field in that far- off land?
30691Was this, as he believed, a signal to come not only to the edge of the orifice,_ but to lower himself down into its depths_?
30691What are they going to do to her?"
30691What can I do for you?"
30691What do you intend to do?"
30691What do you mean?"
30691What do you think of that?"
30691What does she say?
30691What hope for them here?
30691What is food?
30691What is it you wish of Aimu?
30691What is it you wish of the Ungapuks?"
30691What is the length of their day?
30691What is your answer?"
30691What kind of man was this that Boynton had sent him?
30691What more do you want?"
30691What next?
30691What of their deadliness?_ And again he was seated in a plane, and he was firing tiny bullets from a tiny gun.
30691What possible animus can they have against the earth or its people?"
30691What possible crime could he have committed?
30691What power had he to vision the idea- pictures in the other''s mind?
30691What was there about the putrid yet gorgeous perfume that had made the stallion go off his nut, so to speak?
30691Where is Naida?
30691Who had made the beautiful footprints beside him, when he had slept at last after his arrival here?
30691Who had taken them?
30691Who knew how much of such feeling was read by these keen- eyed observers?
30691Who says civilization is going down, when the future holds men like that?
30691Who''s my father?"
30691Why ca n''t they make their stories logical?
30691Why ca n''t they think of something original?
30691Why did he let you go, knowing that you would give the alarm?"
30691Why does the government of this Zar want me?"
30691Why else should I have sent for you?"
30691Why had eleven Mexican bandits refused to advance even to within decent rifle range of the canyon''s mouth?
30691Why had someone scratched a line in the earth from him directly to the distant orifice of the geyser?
30691Why labor day after day at the oxygen generators to give them the fresh air they breathe?"
30691Why not Venus or Mercury?
30691Why not eat his food?"
30691Why will it be that?"
30691Why work out our lives down here so they can live in the lap of luxury over our heads?
30691Why-- why, do you know what you are offering us?
30691Why?"
30691Will you love me as I have learned to love you during this single day in Paradise?"
30691Will you sit over there by Aña and wait?
30691Will you, Naida?
30691Will you, please?"
30691Wo n''t it hatch into another terror of the sea like the thing that destroyed the ship?"
30691Wo n''t you tell me your name?"
30691Would it reach?
30691Would there be anyone to hear?
30691You can?
30691You do n''t mean it, do you?"
30691You do not believe it was Quetzalcoatl''s pleasure over the great diamond which made him cease preying on your people?"
30691You have no cause to love him, have you?"
30691You''ve got us here as prisoners-- now what do you expect us to do?
30691Zar Peter?
30691_ And did they fight with gas?
30691_ But on the ground below-- what fortifications?
30691_ Now_ have I told you enough?"
30691_ What of Earth''s armies and their means of defense?_ Vaguely he sensed the demand, and without conscious volition he responded.
30691he exclaimed,"Mac radioed us from Venus; is there anything impossible after that?"
30124Accidentally, or were they put out?
30124And now what''s Hay''s mission?
30124And now what, Captain?
30124Anything been happening at the front, sir?
30124Are n''t you glad we won through?
30124Are you sure, Hemmy?
30124Are you sure?
30124Ask Wells about that, why do n''t you? 30124 Atlantean?"
30124Bob? 30124 But methinks thou art in need of food and sustenance?"
30124But what can they do?
30124But what,he wondered, as he stopped the helicopters,"did he mean by''give a_ last_ handshake''?"
30124But where does this steam come from? 30124 But why did you look that way?"
30124But,put in Lance,"how do the torpedoes fly?
30124But-- but, are you a prisoner?
30124But-- but--he exclaimed,"how the devil could he do that?"
30124But-- how did I do it?
30124But-- what about Hemmy Bowman?
30124Captain? 30124 Captain?"
30124Could they see it coming?
30124Days? 30124 Days?"
30124Did that shock--?
30124Did you have the car wait?
30124Did you know that the model of the Breslau gun had been stolen?
30124Did you see his dead body?
30124Do n''t you think that this is the end of it, Doctor?
30124Do short waves fog glass, Doctor?
30124Do you feel perfectly normal now?
30124Do you recognize the photo?
30124Do you want them to get us with their paralyzing ray?
30124Dost thou realize what would hang upon thy skill? 30124 Enemies?"
30124Everybody with me?
30124Everything right?
30124Fog?
30124God, Keith, what_ is_ it?
30124Got it?
30124Got the depth charge ready, Keith? 30124 Graham, you there?"
30124Have they been moved there recently?
30124Have ye heard? 30124 Heliopolis?
30124Heliopolis?
30124Hemmy?
30124Hero Giles Hudson begs thy pardon,he said,"but methought thou spoke in the language of Sir Henry Hudson, my ancestor?"
30124Home?
30124How are they treating him?
30124How did you get word that you were to be rescued from Atlanta?
30124How do we know that he did n''t? 30124 How do you mean, sir?"
30124How does she know?
30124How high are we?
30124How many of them are there, Mac? 30124 How wilt thou manage thy curious weapon?"
30124How-- how did they wipe you out to- day?
30124How? 30124 Huh?"
30124Hurt, sir?
30124I wonder if he''s still alive?
30124I wonder what deviltry they''re cooking up?
30124I wonder what he''ll hatch up to combat our helmet- lights? 30124 I wonder where they''ve taken Alden?"
30124I would know why the all powerful Wanderer, of whom thou makest so much, did not rescue Princess Altara?
30124I''m not much of an artilleryman, but I''m wondering how you take up the recoil?
30124Impossible? 30124 Is Saranoff alive?"
30124Is he coming to the United States?
30124Is he in the United States?
30124Is that an isolated building?
30124Is there a black lamp at that gun platform?
30124Is there no defence against them?
30124It does seem funny, does n''t it, Wells?
30124It''s obvious, Colonel: how did the Slavs know we were going to raid that comparatively unimportant base of theirs at such and such a time? 30124 Ivan Karuska,"he said slowly and distinctly,"do you hear me?"
30124Ivan Karuska,repeated Dr. Bird,"do you hear me?"
30124Jarmuth?
30124Just why the hell,he muttered,"did I ever join the Navy?"
30124Keith? 30124 Knapp?"
30124Mac, did you say they were our friends? 30124 Markest thou that tree yonder, on the ledge of the valley?"
30124McKegnie, can you hear me?
30124McKegnie?... 30124 Not trying to get out, are you?"
30124Now, what the hell''s this thing for?
30124Oh, God, what''s happened?
30124Oh, Mr. Wells, where are you?
30124On which floor?
30124One hundred leagues in two hours? 30124 Over the world?
30124Powerful, is it not? 30124 So, then, no doubt, he has told you of the law of our country?"
30124So? 30124 Sound happy-- eh?"
30124Surely, but why did n''t Breslau hear it?
30124The Emperor?
30124The battery?
30124The old explorer whose men turned him adrift? 30124 The real business?"
30124Then he whom the dog- born Jereboam captured was thy friend?
30124Then your theory is that some sort of a ray machine was put in operation before the helicopter landed?
30124Then-- but-- you''re not running the_ NX-1_, are you?
30124There or here-- what matter? 30124 They were washed last Friday, but they do look rather dirty, do n''t they?
30124Thinkest thou couldst ride a podoko?
30124Thou art ready, Friend Nelson?
30124Thou seest?
30124Time? 30124 Time?"
30124Understand, Keith?
30124Was there ever an instrument of war that had not its defence? 30124 We saw them at dusk, last evening-- remember?
30124Well?
30124Well?
30124Wells? 30124 Wells?
30124What are they doing?
30124What are they?
30124What can I do? 30124 What caused the row?"
30124What did you say about that prisoner?
30124What do you mean?
30124What do you suppose they''ll try next, Doctor?
30124What does it mean, Doctor?
30124What dost thou propose?
30124What has happened, Carnes?
30124What in hell are you doing up there?
30124What is Jarmuth?
30124What is it, Tommy? 30124 What is it?"
30124What is that?
30124What is the black lamp?
30124What is the idea?
30124What is the thing?
30124What is your name?
30124What madness is this?
30124What sayest thou? 30124 What the devil was that?
30124What the devil?
30124What the devil?
30124What thinkest thou of our retortii?
30124What time do you make it?
30124What was in the bombs?
30124What was it?
30124What was that vitrilene helmet for?
30124What were you going to do after you were rescued from jail?
30124What wouldst thou, oh Heracles?
30124What''s that?
30124What''s the matter, Keith?
30124What''s the matter, old man?
30124What''s this?
30124What''s this?
30124What''s wrong?
30124What? 30124 What?"
30124When?
30124Where are they?
30124Where are you?
30124Where did he get to?
30124Where did you get the formula for radite?
30124Where in hell''s it going?
30124Where is he living in London?
30124Who is the present head of the Young Labor party?
30124Why do n''t you take me with them? 30124 Why?"
30124Will that always be home to you, Tommy?
30124Will you have him brought here at once, please?
30124Will you land? 30124 Wonder if Alden had any better luck?"
30124Wonder what it was?
30124Wot abaht that there Captain Hay, sir?
30124Would it not seem so?
30124Yes.... Keith-- you''re trying to dodge out of the tunnel, are n''t you?
30124Yes?
30124Yes?
30124You do n''t know how much he got through?
30124You know how a sliver of wood is propelled by the ripples of a pond? 30124 You know the working of the beacon?"
30124You mean that the current might melt the wire?
30124You mean--?
30124You say the boats are completely destroyed?
30124You say these bright boys from over the border want to chow six more girls? 30124 You sitting beside an Emperor?"
30124You were on guard here last night?
30124You would-- eh?
30124You''d rather drown?
30124You''re all back on the_ NX-1_, Keith? 30124 You''re going right through that cavern, then, Wells?"
30124You''re going to investigate what lies beyond?
30124You''re sure he''s insane?
30124You''ve located their headquarters? 30124 ***** But surprise? 30124 ***** He turned to Althora to ask,How are they coming?
30124*****"What happened next?"
30124*****"What is the law of Jarmuth?"
30124Accuse him outright of his suspicions?
30124All ready?"
30124Am I right?"
30124And then, in the octopi submarine, had come a soft glow of violet.... Was it a more deadly weapon than the paralyzing ray?
30124And thou"--his heavy, golden eyebrows shot up--"and thou, what dost thou wish?"
30124And with what could America hold them back?
30124Any signs of life from the devil?"
30124Are you all right?"
30124Are you there?"
30124Art thou mad?
30124Bailley, have you still got that goldfish bowl?"
30124Be reasonable, ca n''t you?
30124But ca n''t something be done about wrong numbers?
30124But can they ever destroy the rest of that swarm?
30124But how far, Keith wondered, had that ship preceded her?
30124But how much had he got through on the radiophone before being stopped?
30124But how?
30124But if I can stop this annual tribute, it wo n''t be so bad, will it?"
30124But what if he should pull one and open all the exit ports?
30124But where to?
30124But why does n''t he show up?"
30124But-- but-- Praed--""What happened?"
30124But-- would Hay be there?
30124By the way, you have two more communists here, Denberg and Semensky, have n''t you?"
30124Ca n''t you hear it?
30124Ca n''t you hear me?
30124Can you hear me?
30124Can you hear me?"
30124Cook McKegnie?"
30124Could you tell us what it means?"
30124Do n''t you hear me?
30124Do you get the idea now?"
30124Do you understand?"
30124Dost dare make threats to thy liege lord?"
30124Dost doubt my words, sirrah?"
30124Douglas said swiftly:"Headquarters?
30124During one brief pause the anguished cook found himself groaning aloud:"Oh, Mr. Wells, where are you?
30124Finally Lance snorted and burst out:"Why the hell did you run away, Praed?
30124Following them-- where?
30124For heaven''s sake, McKegnie, where are you?"
30124Gas of some sort?"
30124Get that?
30124Got it?"
30124Had he stumbled upon a remnant of that powerful people whose fabled empire had been drowned ten centuries ago in the cold waves of the Atlantic?
30124Had he told where the rendezvous, was to be?
30124Had the enemy seen Bowman leave?
30124Had the ray struck him down?
30124Hay, or a swooping squadron of Slav planes?
30124He seems to bear a charmed life, does n''t he?"
30124He went by here, did n''t he?"
30124His words were audible to everyone, and they voiced the thought in every brain:"What''re we going to do now?"
30124How about Hill 333?"
30124How darest thou bandy words with us?"
30124How far away is it?"
30124How is it generated?"
30124How many men have you?"
30124How much did the Slavs know?
30124How much had Ranth got through before he stopped him?
30124How was he to know that it had gone straight through?
30124How will they get here?"
30124I guess that''s why he said it, old fellow...."Lance gasped:"You''re sacrificing your life?"
30124I understand that one of the guards escaped the fate which overtook the rest of the persons in the infirmary?"
30124I wonder what kind of devils caught him?"
30124If I am not speaking out of turn, what are you planning to do in the mean time?"
30124If I had something to hold them apart--"You have n''t a piece of steel about five inches long, have you?--or anything to substitute for it?
30124If the thieves came in through the windows, what was their object in cutting that hole through the roof?
30124If you wish to question this man, why not give him the same treatment?"
30124Into the silence Lance whispered:"And that-- that is Hay''s job?"
30124Is it yet time?"
30124Is n''t that so?"
30124Is there any way of artificially stimulating this man''s brain so that we can force the secrets of his subconscious mind from him?"
30124Is there anyone now who can take up the work and bring order and results from this chaos of futility?"
30124Is there anything else?"
30124It that understood?"
30124It was:"Now, what the hell''s this thing for?"
30124Just how much did the Slavs know, then, about the torpedoes?
30124Keith?
30124Look''em over, will you?''
30124Much better than a correspondence course in''How to Be a Submarine Commander,''eh?"
30124Need I name it?"
30124Now what in hell is all this?"
30124Now, let''s see: what the hell''s this thing for?...
30124Now-- what?
30124Oh, Mr. Wells, where are you?
30124On the other''s nod of affirmation he continued:"What''s your plan?"
30124One of those mound cities?
30124Or, plaintively:"Now, what the hell''s_ this_ thing for?"
30124Praed''s low voice, devoid of all trace of emotion, asked:"What makes you think I was scared, Lance?"
30124Prithee, Wanderer, what be thy name?"
30124Put him under arrest as a spy?
30124Re- broadcast this news to land stations, will you?
30124Says something about his skill as a pilot, does n''t it?
30124Scared stiff?"
30124Shall we build and launch the Great Fleet of the United States, and take upon our own shoulders the burden and responsibility of defense?
30124Shall we make it?
30124Stanesky, eh?
30124That is, to the right-- understand?
30124That would explain why their submarine had been sent through the tunnel.... A voice sounded in his ears:"Keith?
30124The Ice World?"
30124The cook''s stammering voice came back:"Why-- why-- is that you, Mr. Wells?
30124The spy, going to transmit the news he had overheard?
30124The whole crew''s with you?
30124Their breadth of shoulders, the thickness of their chests-- what had these figures to do with their captivity?
30124They''ve still got you prisoner?"
30124They-- they''ve been experimenting on them...."***** Was he, too, Wells wondered, to be experimented on?
30124Thou alone to overcome six of their best warriors?
30124Thou wouldst see one fired?"
30124Told the time and place, and warned the Slavs to look for Hay?
30124Understand?"
30124Understand?"
30124Was Keith refraining from firing his torpedoes because he, Bowman, was on board the enemy boat?
30124Was he doomed to dash up and down between floor and ceiling forever?
30124Was it waiting with a purpose?
30124Was it waiting-- and inviting attack?
30124Was that a shadow?--a nightmare flying bird?--or a plane?
30124Was this the unknown spy?
30124We will wait... and when I am sure that-- Althora-- is-- gone... when there is nothing I can do to help--""Help?"
30124Well?"
30124Wells asked:"What did you hear?"
30124Wells?"
30124Were the Americans dead?
30124What are they doing to you?
30124What can have done it?"
30124What caused it?
30124What could he do now?
30124What have they done to you?"
30124What horror could have ripped them-- all of them-- to driftwood, with the weather perfect?
30124What is this?"
30124What kind of creatures can they be?"
30124What knowest thou of their weapons?"
30124What motivates them?"
30124What now?
30124What now?
30124What was there that Earth could do to meet this overwhelming assault?
30124What would Douglas say to him?
30124What would it do to a man?"
30124What you print there-- only letters praising your magazine to the skies?--or do you occasionally print a brickbat?
30124When do we take off, sir?"
30124Where are you speaking from?
30124Where do you get that captain stuff?"
30124Where is the place located?
30124Who was the other wanderer?
30124Who''s running it?
30124Why not have a page devoted to the pictures and biographies of your writers, and full page illustrations?
30124Why not have a space for good reprints and charge a nickel more?
30124Why was n''t that noise heard?"
30124Why?
30124Why?
30124Why?
30124Wonder what devilment the priests are cooking up?"
30124Wonder what the devil these are?"
30124Would the plates stand it?
30124Would the ray melt through the weakened steel before he could fire?
30124Would they arrive at Cierum in time?
30124Would you kindly oblige me?
30124Yes-- but where?
30124Yet what can we do?
30124You all have hand grenades as well as your rifles?"
30124You have it well surrounded?
30124You know the fishing fleet that was near us yesterday morning?"
30124You say that only one out of a hundred have n''t read reprints[?].
30124You understand?
30124You will?"
30124You wo n''t let this cancel our rendezvous?"
30124You''re game, are n''t you?"
30124You''ve what?
30124_ Last._ Why did he say that?"
30124_"What?
30124he asked,"--some radio device?
33016''Clumsy''?
33016''Yet''?
33016About Nida Mane, sir? 33016 After Dan Kelly?
33016All here?
33016And fly a plane for Saranoff?
33016And now, how soon can you go? 33016 And you, Ivan Saranoff?"
33016Are there any local conditions unfavorable to flying?
33016Are you affected, Captain?
33016Are you all right, Carnes?
33016Are you all right, Howard?
33016Are you all right?
33016Are you all right?
33016Are you going on the expedition?
33016Are you hit bad?
33016Asmo and Camol, will you help me? 33016 But,"Abbot had objected further,"if so, why have n''t they come up to visit or conquer us?
33016By morning you expect it will have traveled forty or fifty miles in all directions?
33016Ca n''t something be done?
33016Ca n''t they see the field and the plane? 33016 Can either of you pound a key-- code, I mean?"
33016Can we see you, Van?
33016Can you get word for me at once to Thig?
33016Can you hear me up on the boat?
33016Can you work the radio door controls?
33016Carnes, is n''t this the darnedest thing we''ve ever been through? 33016 Check this, will you, Walt?"
33016Chet,she demanded,"are n''t you going to warn him?
33016Coming, Nida?
33016Did you get it, Diane? 33016 Did you kill him, Doctor?"
33016Did you learn Saranoff''s plans?
33016Did you think I would put you_ all_ out of the ship? 33016 Do n''t you want to go?"
33016Do you have any faint idea of what a job this is? 33016 Do you know Romehl?"
33016Dr. Bird,thought the king,"can you communicate with me easily?"
33016Eh, yes? 33016 Error?"
33016Fake an S. O. S. Do n''t you see? 33016 Has Captain Ilgen Mr. Lane Mollon''s leave to stay?"
33016Has Hanac brought our evening food yet?
33016Has anything been accomplished?
33016Have I your leave to stay, Mich''l Ares?
33016Have a heart, will you?
33016Heave in the riot- ray, will you, old fellow?
33016Herr Bullard, iss it not-- yess?
33016Herr Harkness, you have filed claims on it; who am I to dispute with the great Herr Harkness? 33016 How about conscripting a little labor?"
33016How can I?
33016How did it get a name like that?
33016How did it leak out? 33016 How do you know where we''re going?"
33016How far?
33016How long are the days and nights?
33016If our savage ancestors lived on the inhospitable outer shell of the earth,he shouted,"is that a reason for our taking that retrograde step?
33016In my head?
33016Inspector Dolan,said Dr. Bird sharply,"why did n''t you tell me those things?"
33016Is it nearly time?
33016Is the guard room occupied, sir?
33016Ivan Saranoff, what means this?
33016Leave you,he said,"in one place?
33016Listen, Bill-- I never lied to you, did I?
33016Mean to tell me you''ve been there? 33016 No, Doctor, what is it?"
33016Normal?
33016Notice those short tubes mounted on light wheels over against the walls? 33016 Now what dirty work are they up to?"
33016Now what?
33016Operate? 33016 Perhaps you do n''t know, Captain,"Mich''l suggested smoothly,"that it is not wise to disregard the orders of the Provisional President''s son?"
33016Put you_ all_ on one island?
33016She made good her escape then?
33016She there now?
33016Sir, what are your orders?
33016So you know this?
33016So, my friends, you would run away and leave me, would you?
33016So?
33016Spare the time? 33016 Sure, but what''s it all about?"
33016Talk? 33016 The flying conditions were good?"
33016Then what means this?
33016Then why have they taken up with Saranoff?
33016They did n''t?
33016Think they''ll get over the river, Van?
33016This your girl that got away from you? 33016 Treachery, eh?"
33016Well, Carnesy, old dear,said Dr. Bird,"have you been lonesome?"
33016Well?
33016What about Nida Mane? 33016 What about your work?"
33016What are we going to do, Doctor?
33016What are you doing, Garland?
33016What can a mental cripple like you do with blind allies like them?
33016What can be the matter?
33016What do they want of pilots underground?
33016What do you intend to do with us?
33016What do you mean-- moon flowers?
33016What do you mean-- no use? 33016 What do you mean?
33016What good would that do?
33016What is he going to do to us?
33016What is it, dear?
33016What is it?
33016What is the matter, sir?
33016What say, Kratz?
33016What seems to be the matter, Captain?
33016What the dickens?
33016What was it that you said?--that Harkness and I would be staying here? 33016 What you going to do there?"
33016What you would have given for this last night, eh? 33016 What''s the big idea?"
33016What''s the dope? 33016 What''s the idea, Van?"
33016What''s the matter, Doctor?
33016What?
33016When? 33016 Where are we?
33016Where is Garland?
33016Where is Nida? 33016 Where is he?"
33016Where is it?
33016Where is she?
33016Where is the ship; where have you hidden it? 33016 Where''s the fire?"
33016Who are we to question the judgment of our all- knowing masters?
33016Who could it be?
33016Who said so?
33016Who''s that?
33016Why do n''t you tell them?
33016Why in thunder are we back here?
33016Why is he so sure he can get me in the morning? 33016 Why not?"
33016Why not?
33016Why?
33016Why?
33016Why?
33016Would you call it a hoax or the real thing?
33016Would you mind repeating what you just said, Van?
33016Yeah, that''s the question: what can we do?
33016Yeah? 33016 Yes, Your Majesty, but may I ask that you alter the vibration period of my comrade, Mr. Carnes?
33016Yes, and meanwhile the thing is overwhelming us at what rate?
33016Yes, but what''s all the rush? 33016 Yes?"
33016Yes?
33016You are going on the expedition, and Romehl is not?
33016You are going to maroon us on an island?
33016You are going to put the three of us off in some lost corner of this world?
33016You can fly it for sure, Max?
33016You can see it just as well in daylight?
33016You have met Senator Mollon?
33016You have n''t forgotten, Mich''l, this is the day of the Referendum?
33016You mean--?
33016You men willing?
33016You say you bring the stuff here with a light ray?
33016You trying to put one over on me?
33016You will do-- what?
33016You will take us back?
33016You''ll want me at the tabulating section?
33016You''re a cheerful sort of soul, are n''t you?
33016You''re sure you could n''t move? 33016 You, too?"
33016_ Eh, What?_Dear Editor: Just got my June issue of our good mag, Astounding Stories, and I think that it is great.
33016***** What danger could there be in this well- guarded world?
33016*****"Iss there air?"
33016*****"What is the cube root of 378?"
33016A hawk-- was it not?
33016A question, Mr. Cummings: Shades of Polter and Tugh!--why must you always have a deformed character in your stories?
33016And do you know how fast we are going?
33016And if so, who?
33016And now what?"
33016And then...."Then-- what?
33016And we see them, or I see the other fellow as he appeared when my time caught up with his?
33016And what causes gushers?
33016And what was the Sun like?
33016And why have n''t we ever found any trace of them?"
33016And you have n''t answered my other questions: when do we go back?"
33016And you say there are more?"
33016Are n''t they real?"
33016Are you willing to see that brain destroyed?
33016Bill, Bart, what can we do?"
33016Boldly he asked him:"Where is Mr. Mollon?
33016But did he plan to leave them all or only two?
33016But do n''t you realize what this thing means-- this ungodly growth that''s started?"
33016But there is a real point of doubt: Would the personality accompany the brain in transplantation?
33016But was it their two friends after all?
33016But what could they do?
33016But what will happen to them all when the automatic machinery fails?"
33016But where''s the ship?
33016But who in the devil are you?
33016But why?
33016But, why get excited?
33016Ca n''t you get their thoughts?"
33016Can you tell us now?"
33016Carnes?"
33016Chet had been too intent upon the newscast to heed an opening door at his back....*****"How about it, Chet?"
33016Could it be that the one chance in a million had actually happened, and that a grapple from the boat above had actually found him?
33016Could these suits contain human beings?
33016D''you speak English?
33016Danny Kelly?
33016Did he dare take it?
33016Did n''t I tell you?"
33016Did not the king give me full power while he was away?"
33016Did you notice one thing?
33016Did you notice this?"
33016Did you think you would just hop over to the Dark Moon?
33016Did you understand any of their talk?"
33016Do they appeal to your dramatic sense?
33016Do you know the Moon''s speed as it approaches?
33016Do you know we will shoot another two hundred thousand miles straight out before I can check this ship?
33016Do you mean to cooperate with me or not?"
33016Doctor, what were those things?
33016Eh, what?
33016For Chet Bullard, time ceased to have meaning; what were seconds-- or centuries-- as he stared at that glowing rim?
33016For that matter, what had become of Harkness?
33016Get me?
33016Get me?"
33016Got a line on him?"
33016Got an ax or anything?"
33016Got one with a radio?"
33016Got''em loaded down, eh?"
33016Had Walt learned of some plan of Schwartzmann''s?
33016Had he not taken many such tests on earth and passed them easily?
33016Had the serpents frightened him back?"
33016Had you thought that there''s a lot of room to get lost in out here?"
33016Had you thought what you will look like when that fool pilot rams into it head on?
33016Have you any ideas?"
33016Have you doped out something?"
33016Have you ever noticed that almost every critic of Science Fiction is either a teacher or a female?
33016Have you realized, Chet, that we own that world-- you and Diane and I?
33016He killed Mollon?"
33016Hear the rays?"
33016Hear?"
33016Hear?"
33016Her tinkling, silvery voice was troubled as she asked:"Have I your leave to stay, Mich''l Ares?"
33016His head!--what had happened to his head?...
33016His nurse came into the room with extra chairs; Chet waited till she was gone before he repeated:"Now what?
33016How about an occasional short story?
33016How about yourself?"
33016How could the murder of Major Atwood be mentioned in the records of New York?
33016How did you make out to- day?"
33016How near were these enemies of his, he wondered?
33016How on earth did you do it?"
33016How soon will you be ready to start back?
33016How''s the side where they got you with the spear?--and how are you?
33016I see that the edges of the paper are now smooth, but still the leaves stick out beyond one another, so what good does that do?
33016If a hard- boiled newspaper man would not believe the story, who could?
33016If not, would not the synthetic"Extra Man"be a human being minus personality?
33016If there is any amount of time separating two things, those two things are invisible to each other, are they not?
33016If this is the case, how then can a rocket- propelled space ship go across this void?
33016If we could get into the Sun again-- wouldn''t you want that?"
33016In that case, what became of the bodies?
33016Is it all right with you?"
33016Is n''t he afraid I''ll leave the island?
33016Is n''t it possible that he has, at some time in his explorations, come into contact with these fellows and made friends with them?"
33016Is that right?
33016It was Harkness-- Walt Harkness-- from whom he had snatched the controls.... To fly to the Dark Moon, of course-- What nonsense was that?...
33016It was foolish, eh, to reduce the power?
33016It was useless to run away last night-- not?"
33016Know how much that stone''s worth?"
33016Like the great vita- lights that were prescribed by law and evaded by everyone, except possibly the technies?
33016Make it snappy, will you?"
33016Might not these jealousies flame into huge wars when translated to the world above?
33016Must we mention his story?
33016Nida, you''ll admit I''m taking no unfair advantage of him?"
33016Now what is going to happen?"
33016Or why did n''t you let Diane and me back up your yarn?
33016Or would that power be denied him?
33016Refused me a loan this morning, did n''t you?
33016Say nothing about any trouble-- understand?"
33016So he pointed at her and asked,"Milli?"
33016Some little plan like that in your mind?"
33016Some work in connection with the Referendum?
33016Sure you can spare the time to go out there now?"
33016Tell me-- where?"
33016The Midget From the Island A COMPLETE NOVELETTE_ By H. G. Winter_[ Illustration:_"For God''s sake, Hagendorff, what''s come over you?
33016The best story you ever published?
33016The black lens at the end of Mich''l''s needle- ray pressed hard, and Lane said naturally:"You have her in custody?"
33016The ship, you will return it safely to the place where it was?"
33016Then is it not possible that each individual is existing in a different time realm?
33016Then what?
33016Then what?"
33016Then why did n''t he keep on when he was started?
33016Think I had it up my sleeve?
33016This would afford a parallel; for if she realized that there were two languages in the world, might there not be three?
33016Three strides took Hagendorff opposite him; and from above the thunderous voice rumbled:"What were your sensations?"
33016To the moon?"
33016True, the brain is the control room; but--?
33016Was her patient about to recover consciousness?
33016What could he do?
33016What did he say?"
33016What did you do with them?"
33016What do you mean?"
33016What does the title say?
33016What had happened?
33016What happened to our neighboring nation of Atlantica only a short 15,000 years ago?
33016What has happened?"
33016What is it this time?"
33016What is it?"
33016What is it?"
33016What must one do to vote?
33016What trouble could this man Schwartzmann threaten that a word to the Peace Enforcement Commission would not quell?
33016What were they doing out there in the watery- blue midnight?
33016What will happen when those technies also deteriorate, and lose the will to work?
33016What will you do if you do land?
33016What will you do when you open the ports and the--?"
33016What would happen when the present overloaded machinery should break down; wear out?
33016What would it do to your machine?"
33016What''ll we do?"
33016What''s it all about?"
33016What''s the idea?
33016What''s the use of talking to you?
33016What''s wrong?
33016When are you going to start putting it on the stands twice a month?
33016When do we go back?"
33016Where are we?
33016Where are you staying?"
33016Where could he go to elude the inescapable patrols?
33016Where next?
33016Where you going?"
33016Where''d you come from?"
33016Where''s this laboratory of yours?"
33016Where''s your first aid kit?"
33016Who am I to answer?
33016Who shall it be?"
33016Who was this man, Schwartzmann, that dared dream of violating their possessions?
33016Who''s your chief?"
33016Why could n''t he remember?...
33016Why could not one see events in which he participated?
33016Why did n''t you show them the ship?
33016Why had Hagendorff tricked him?
33016Why had n''t he first made appropriate inquiries of his guard?
33016Why had n''t the officials published the entire story as Van told it over the Secret Service radio?
33016Why have I done it, you wonder?
33016Why in the devil are they dropping them so near?"
33016Why not give us more interplanetary illustrations of space ships and the like as in"Brigands of the Moon"?
33016Why not omit to close any further gates behind him?
33016Why should the cage appear as a mist at first?
33016Why struggle?
33016Will it destroy the space- serpents?
33016Will you willingly submit your brains to the searching of this instrument?"
33016Would Mr. Vanderventer be so kind as to fly over there and destroy it before any lives were lost?
33016Would the ship be there?
33016Yes; and did you think I was going to stand by and see all the credit go to you?
33016You little fool-- you think you can get free?
33016You mean it''ll keep on growing?"
33016You never saw Van licked yet, did you?"
33016You were helpless?"
33016You''re sure this is from the moon?"
33016Your injury-- how soon will you be well enough?"
33016_ Ach!_ This machine, it will startle the world of science; it will make its inventor famous-- not?
33016_ What Price Smoothness?_ Dear Editor: I have just finished the June issue of Astounding Stories.
33016asked Carnes,"did your light fail?"
33016exclaimed Abbot,"when you have less than a day to live?"
33016he asked himself in a half- spoken thought,"--how far have we come?"
33016he screamed,"you would kill us all?
6714A prisoner, eh?
6714About all they will get, eh?
6714About what?
6714Airships, is n''t it?
6714All right, what?
6714And about that launch? 6714 And automobiled it out here?
6714And found--?
6714And how he used some letters sent to your father from a great friend of his?
6714And leave the Racer where she is?
6714And so you thought you''d steal away without letting me know it?
6714And the card?
6714And the two men with Jerry?
6714And then, of course, she screamed out in fear?
6714And then?
6714And then?
6714And what is at?
6714And what''s the programme?
6714And you are going to run it, Dave?
6714And you''re going right after the Drifter?
6714And your arm?
6714Another airship than ours, you mean?
6714Another couple of hundred miles?
6714Any answer? 6714 Anything wrong?"
6714Are there no marks on it?
6714Are they on the Canadian side yet?
6714Are you Colonel Lyon?
6714Are you going back to Desert Island?
6714Are you going to land, Dave?
6714Are you having some trouble with the Interstate people?
6714As how, now?
6714Automobile, then?
6714Business, eh?
6714Business-- with me?
6714But he could not keep Mr. Dale away from home forever?
6714But he lives in Kewaukee?
6714But the launch, Mister?
6714But the skiff?
6714But where did the checks come from?
6714But why? 6714 Ca n''t Jerry Dawson tell you anything about him?"
6714Ca n''t you find some safe place where we can land?
6714Can it be done?
6714Can you find a better place, Hiram?
6714Can you hold out?
6714Can you walk?
6714Could it have been a business rival?
6714Dashaway, do n''t you think you are rather hard on them-- and on me?
6714Dashaway, yes?
6714Dave Dashaway?
6714Did n''t you search the coat?
6714Did they resist?
6714Did you notice the way he hesitated when we asked him where he had come from?
6714Do n''t you know me?
6714Do n''t you see?
6714Do we have to use them?
6714Do you know him, may I inquire?
6714Do you know the company he represents?
6714Do you know where Fernwood is?
6714Do you mean that, Hiram?
6714Do you remember where?
6714Do you suppose it would help you out any to have me give it to you?
6714Do you suspect anybody?
6714Do you want to smash my arm all over again?
6714Does it?
6714Eh?
6714Eh?
6714Excuse a question, matey?
6714Fifty dollars?
6714Fine weather for hydroplanes this, eh?
6714Fixed things up for us, has he, Hiram?
6714For me?
6714For us, you think?
6714Getting ready for what?
6714Going to drop?
6714Going to land?
6714Going to stay here all day?
6714Has it been shipped to Columbus yet?
6714Have you a Kewaukee directory here?
6714Have you a place to keep him tight and safe?
6714He is a criminal, then?
6714Hello, who''s this?
6714Hello, you, Dashaway?
6714His cronies?
6714How about an air and water combination, Grimshaw?
6714How are you getting along?
6714How are you going to get there?
6714How can you know that?
6714How did it happen?
6714How did you come to get the badge?
6714How did you know that, Hiram?
6714How do you know?
6714How far away is Kewaukee, Dave?
6714How is that?
6714How is that?
6714How is that?
6714How is that?
6714How much now?
6714How soon will they be here?
6714How was that?
6714How was that?
6714How was that?
6714I do n''t suppose, Dashaway,answered the showman,"that you''re open for such a week stunt as exhibiting at some of my county fairs?"
6714I suppose they, dragged me aboard of the Drifter from the water, but what about Hiram and the Monarch II?
6714I suppose you know why we sent for you?
6714I wonder what Mr. King will say?
6714I wonder what they will do with us now?
6714In that direction?
6714Is a Mr. Timmins stopping here?
6714Is he here at Anseton?
6714Is that so, now?
6714Is there anybody else in trouble?
6714It looks that way, does n''t it? 6714 It startles you?"
6714It''s about that rush telegram?
6714It''s great, is n''t it, Dave?
6714It''s the wind, is n''t it, Dave?
6714Kidnapped?
6714Left-- left the meet?
6714Look is if I''d been through a threshing machine, do I?
6714Mr. Alden,he asked quite excitedly,"where did you take that slide?"
6714Not Mr. Dale''s signature?
6714Not much to see, eh?
6714Nothing at all?
6714Now, where did you throw the coat and the things you found In it?
6714Oh, Dashaway, eh?
6714Oh, arrived, eh?
6714Oh, going somewhere?
6714Oh, going to try and fix things before daylight?
6714Oh, that?
6714Oh, that?
6714Oh, the machine has been out, then, has it?
6714Oh, then you''re not counting an leaving here again by the air route?
6714Oh, you have?
6714Oh, you mean going by train?
6714Oh, you think you''re going?
6714On the country mud roads we''ve been having for the last week?
6714One thing, though,he said;"is n''t something exciting going to happen soon, Dave?"
6714Or over the Canadian border?
6714Queer, is n''t it?
6714Record breaker of what?
6714Say, Dave, are you sure?
6714Say, Dave,spoke Hiram, as they boarded the train bound for Bolton,"this is just like acting out some story, is n''t it?"
6714Say, what about the one these fellows had?
6714See here, Hiram,broke in Dave,"What are you talking about?"
6714See here, Mr. Dawson,spoke up Dave,"what are you going to do with us?"
6714See what?
6714See what?
6714Seen the manager?
6714Shall we set up a fight and yell?
6714So? 6714 Some one was here, you say?"
6714Some people there named Dawson?
6714Some scene you know, Dashaway?
6714Sooner than I planned,replied Dave,"But I--""You''ve thought the affair over, I hope?"
6714Still pretending to be Dave Dashaway?
6714Suppose the Drifter comes Dave?
6714Suppose you get a sight of the Drifter?
6714Sure of that, Dashaway?
6714Tell me about it, wo n''t you?
6714That is final?
6714That''s fine, is n''t it?
6714That''s strange, is n''t it?
6714That''s the contract, is it?
6714The Baby Racer?
6714The Drifter?
6714Then they mean mischief?
6714Then we''ll know that it is really here, wo n''t we?
6714Then why do n''t you set me free?
6714Then why do you want to look at the badge? 6714 Then why--?"
6714Then you are going to try again?
6714Then you came specially to see me?
6714Then you failed to find Mr. Dale at Warrenton?
6714Then you think well of it?
6714Then you''ve found out something definite?
6714They were not?
6714Think of what, Hiram?
6714Think there''s any use trying to catch that burglar?
6714This is a trip to talk about, eh, Dave?
6714Time for lunch, you think?
6714To hunt for the Drifter?
6714To see me?
6714To warn the Drifter?
6714Was n''t it hurt?
6714Was n''t it in the basin you spoke of?
6714We were sitting here waiting--"Waiting?
6714We''re going to make it, are n''t we?
6714Well, I suppose breakfast is the first move?
6714Well, anyway, had n''t he ought to have some concern about other folks''property?
6714Well, they''ve got to know somebody, have n''t they?
6714Well, this is just like Robinson Crusoe, is n''t it, Dave?
6714Well, what is it?
6714Well,he said, with a leer meant to be clever,"I suppose you fellows know me?"
6714Were you on board alone?
6714What about it?
6714What about?
6714What am I then?
6714What are we to do now-- sleep?
6714What are you going to do?
6714What business, Dashaway?
6714What could have happened? 6714 What could that purpose be?"
6714What did it mean?
6714What did you do with the card?
6714What did you do?
6714What do I make of it?
6714What do you call that, now?
6714What do you mean by that?
6714What do you mean?
6714What do you mean?
6714What do you want for it?
6714What do you want me to do?
6714What do you want of us, Jerry?
6714What do you want to tie a one- armed fellow up for?
6714What for?
6714What for?
6714What happened?
6714What have you been up to, Hiram?
6714What is it, Dave?
6714What is it, Hiram?
6714What is it-- a chase?
6714What is it?
6714What is it?
6714What is that?
6714What is your plan?
6714What is?
6714What news, Hiram?
6714What now, Dave?
6714What then, Hiram?
6714What then?
6714What was he doing?
6714What was it, Hiram?
6714What was it?
6714What was that?
6714What was the trouble?
6714What you up to, Dashaway?
6714What''s that for?
6714What''s that?
6714What''s that?
6714What''s that?
6714What''s that?
6714What''s that?
6714What''s the matter with you?
6714What''s the news, Dave?
6714What''s the programme?
6714What''s the row?
6714What''s the trouble now, I wonder?
6714What''s the trouble, Dashaway?
6714What''s your idea?
6714When was that?
6714When was that?
6714When was this?
6714When?
6714Where are you going, Dave?
6714Where did you come from, Mister?
6714Where did you get it?
6714Where else? 6714 Where is his office?"
6714Where to?
6714Where to?
6714Where?
6714Where?
6714Where?
6714Whew I what have you invited me to, Dave-- bath?
6714Which you are going to do, Dave?
6714Who are you?
6714Who by?
6714Who by?
6714Who for?
6714Who have?
6714Who is he?
6714Who is it from?
6714Who is it, Hiram?
6714Who is responsible for this?
6714Who was it?
6714Who was it?
6714Who was it?
6714Who would n''t, with any pride and that perfect machine?
6714Why did n''t you tell me then?
6714Why did n''t you wait and see this Col. Lyon in the city at his office?
6714Why not, Hiram?
6714Why not?
6714Why not?
6714Why not?
6714Why so?
6714Why so?
6714Why, I thought he lived there?
6714Why, what for?
6714Why, what is all this?
6714Why, where did the half breed come in?
6714Why, will you?
6714Why, you do n''t say so, Dashaway?
6714Why,he chuckled,"you''re real friendly, are n''t you?"
6714Why?
6714Wo n''t Jerry''s employer tell you?
6714Wonder what''s up?
6714Yes, and what?
6714Yes, but are you going to jog right into them and capture them?
6714Yes, but what brought you here so early?
6714Yes, but where?
6714Yes? 6714 You are sure of that?"
6714You came all the way from Columbus in a biplane?
6714You can see what it is, ca n''t you? 6714 You did n''t give them any of the silk?"
6714You did n''t see anything of Jerry Dawson?
6714You do n''t know where they are going to telegraph to, Hiram?
6714You do n''t mean before daylight?
6714You do n''t suppose that the Dawsons and the Drifter are anywhere near here, do you?
6714You found it, I suppose?
6714You have been to the mainland?
6714You have found out something?
6714You have no trace of it?
6714You know that this man, Ridgely, is a professional smuggler?
6714You know the man you rescued he lake yesterday?
6714You mean Col. Lyon''s place?
6714You mean letting him go free?
6714You mean north?
6714You mean the Interstate works?
6714You mean the young thief who called himself Briggs, and then Gregg?
6714You received our telegram?
6714You say it''s an airship?
6714You studied that out, eh? 6714 You think so?"
6714You think they had got over first?
6714You wo n''t release us now?
6714You wo n''t tell?
6714You''ll look after the Racer and the hydroplane, wo n''t you, Hiram?
6714You''ll need one, wo n''t you?
6714You''re not going to wake anybody up at this outlandish hour?
6714Alden?"
6714All right, what have you got to say?"
6714At the Dayton meet, were n''t you?
6714CHAPTER II The"BABY RACER""You know all about it?"
6714CHAPTER V A TEN THOUSAND DOLLAR ORDER"What''s happened?"
6714CHAPTER VII A RESCUE IN THE FOG"What do your suppose that was?"
6714CHAPTER X SOMETHING WRONG"What is it, Dave?"
6714CHAPTER XII DAVE''S DISCOVERIES"You have got a badge like mine for sale, you say?"
6714CHAPTER XX ACROSS THE BORDER"Did you see it?"
6714Can it be possible that he has followed me?
6714Dale?"
6714Dale?"
6714Dale?"
6714Dale?"
6714Dashaway, you remember that fellow who stole my watch and money and medal from you?"
6714Dave, are we going to cross it?"
6714Dawson?"
6714Do n''t you see?
6714Finally he exclaimed:"See here, Dave Dashaway, is that Greek you ca n''t make out, or have you gone to sleep?"
6714Gasoline supply?"
6714Got back?
6714Grimshaw?"
6714Have the Interstate people no theory as to the way the Drifter was stolen, and the motive for the theft?"
6714He seemed anxious to change the conversation, for he said:"You are taking me to the Columbus aero field?"
6714He''s a fine one, is n''t he?"
6714Here, now?"
6714Honorable mention, or was it a prize?"
6714How did you get in here?"
6714I acted on a wire from my employers, the Interstate Aeroplane Co.""Your employers?"
6714I suppose it puts you back in your arrangements at the meet here?"
6714If you want to be a sailor, why do n''t you enlist the navy?"
6714It''s no different from yours, is it?"
6714King?"
6714King?"
6714King?"
6714King?"
6714King?"
6714King?"
6714Need me?"
6714Now then, what do you think?"
6714Now then, young men, who are you?"
6714Price?"
6714Randolph?"
6714Randolph?"
6714Ridgely?"
6714Ridgely?"
6714Ridgely?"
6714Ridgley?"
6714Say, Dashaway, who''s working against us here or across the lake besides yourself?"
6714Say, Dave,"questioned Hiram,"if he is some friend of the Dawson crowd, and has gone to tell them about us, what do you suppose they''ll do?"
6714The clerk pushed a bulky volume across the marble slab of the counter, with the words:"Anybody special you are looking up?"
6714The visitor stared about to locate Dave, and spoke the words:"That you, Dashaway?"
6714Then he asked:"How can I reach Fernwood?"
6714Then he burst out impetuously:"What is it, Dave?"
6714Then his eye brightened and a cheery smile overspread his face, as he caught the words in a dearly familiar tone:"Say, do you want to kill a fellow?"
6714Those shots?"
6714What benefit can they hope to secure way off from civilization?"
6714What have we drifted into?"
6714What''s all this racket?"
6714What''s the programme?"
6714When shall we see you again?"
6714Where is the thief?"
6714Where is your machine?"
6714Where you going, Dave?"
6714You know Mr. Price, do n''t you?"
6714You know he here night before last and left us then?"
6714Your arm, Hiram?"
6714he cried,"have I been--""Asleep at the switch?"
6714mean, Hiram?"
6714not knowing but what they were burglars?"
6714smiled Dave--"smuggling?"
6714submitted the inquisitive Hiram,"exhibitions?"
6714what''s this?"
30532A cripple? 30532 All right, is it?"
30532Am I in on it?
30532An earthquake, Carnes?
30532And so Tina''s cage follows us-- as you hoped?
30532And space is an empty void? 30532 And the effect will be?"
30532And what will you do?
30532And you''ve saved Diane?... 30532 Any luck, Carnes?"
30532Are you all right down there?
30532Are you crazy, Harkness? 30532 Are you hurt?
30532Are you stopping now, Migul?
30532Are you trying to leave me out?
30532But is n''t it frightfully dangerous to carry in that form?
30532But,I persisted,"suppose we tried to stop the cage?"
30532By whom?
30532By whom?
30532Can you do it, Doctor?
30532Chet, old man-- can''t you speak? 30532 Comfortable, Captain Bolton?"
30532Could we bury a charge of explosive and blow it up?
30532Did it speak to you like that, Mary?
30532Did n''t think you could get away with it, did you?
30532Did not you know it?
30532Did you know that?
30532Did you persuade the President to leave?
30532Do n''t you know me, dear?
30532Ever?
30532George, shall we?
30532Gone where?
30532Has anything happened since you telephoned me?
30532Have you any more of those lead clothes that I can wear? 30532 Have you found your means of combating him?"
30532Herr Harkness?
30532How about power?
30532How did I get here?
30532How do they propel themselves?
30532How is it that the water does n''t fill the room?
30532How''d you like that?
30532I only hope he is garbed in the rebel white and blue-- eh, Tony? 30532 Is it a navy ship or the one we''re after?"
30532Is it possible that you do not know? 30532 It will be pleasant to have him dead, eh, Migul?"
30532Just where do you think you''re going?
30532Lucky?
30532Made it, did you?
30532Meaning?
30532Migul took you from 1935?
30532More generosity?
30532My God, Eric, how did you do it?
30532My little Mistress Atwood, did you think because Tugh vanished that year the war began that you were done with him? 30532 Neat, is n''t it?
30532Needs me? 30532 Nor my friend here?"
30532Nothing between us and the Dark Moon?
30532Nothing?
30532Now where?
30532Oh, you got here at last, did you? 30532 Once you locate it, how will you fight it?"
30532Remember how my father was laughed at when he dared to vision the commerce of to- day? 30532 Ruth, will this fit your Uncle''s projectile?"
30532Scared, Americansky? 30532 See that air- liner just diving into it?
30532Sick? 30532 Sick?"
30532So you have no master, Migul?
30532So?
30532Solved?
30532Something else?
30532Sure thing, but what''s the big idea?
30532The cathode ray? 30532 Then how will you reach him to crush him?
30532Then what did happen?
30532Then, if friendly rivalry is impossible, would you consider, could there not be arranged-- a merger of our interests? 30532 There were things that ran-- men-- apes-- what were they?"
30532This means we are entombed?--buried here? 30532 To 1777?"
30532To meet heaven knows what dangers? 30532 To the same night from when you captured her?"
30532To what Time are you taking us, then?
30532To when have we reached?
30532Up to you? 30532 Wait a few minutes, will you?"
30532We are such stuff as dreams are made of....Do you in my Time of 1935 and thereabouts, have difficulty realizing such a statement?
30532We''re beneath the surface, are n''t we?
30532Well, as you doubtless know, you are most unwelcome.... You are watching the dials, Migul?
30532Well, what is it now? 30532 Well?"
30532What are you trying to tell me?
30532What caused it? 30532 What did you find out last night?"
30532What did you say about the cathode ray, Doctor?
30532What do you make of these, Lassen?
30532What do you mean?
30532What does that lead to?
30532What for?
30532What happened up above?
30532What is his name?
30532What is it?
30532What is it?
30532What is it?
30532What is your discharge rate?
30532What next, Doctuh, suh?
30532What on earth is this stuff, Doctor?
30532What reply shall I make?
30532What shall we do?
30532What the dickens?
30532What the hell are you dreaming about, Renaud? 30532 What was it?"
30532What''s all this? 30532 What''s back of it all?"
30532What''s that, Larry? 30532 What''s the matter, Doctor?"
30532What''s the trouble, Carnes?
30532What''s up, Doctor?
30532What''s your name?
30532What?
30532When was Migul here, do you think?
30532When will people learn that there is not, and in the nature of things never can be, a disintegrating ray?
30532When?
30532Where are you taking us?
30532Where did you go when you left me in 1935?
30532Where do you expect him to strike next?
30532Who are you, anyway?
30532Who did it? 30532 Why Washington?"
30532Why be a fool? 30532 Why did n''t I think of that possibility before?"
30532Why so? 30532 Why?"
30532Why?
30532Would you like to hear about it?
30532Yes, but how is that going to help us?
30532Yes?
30532You are going to leave me-- us-- there?
30532You had to see the end of the hunt-- be in at the death?
30532You knew they were there?
30532You mean you can not? 30532 You plan to take us, then, to what Time?"
30532You saw something?
30532You speak of Mademoiselle Vernier so familiarly?
30532You will not harm him?
30532You wish it very much, George Rankin?
30532You would go alone?
30532You''re all right, Mary?
30532You''re going down?
30532You''re going to pass yourself off as this man? 30532 Your rank?"
30532_ Oh, have you not? 30532 ***** It spoke:You will know me again?
30532*****"I presume that you can hear me as well?"
30532*****"Once you locate him, how do you propose to attack him?"
30532*****"Where do you suppose he will attack next, Doctor?"
30532; poor stories-- where are they?
30532A coincidence?
30532A door which could be opened to make adjustments of the mechanisms within?
30532A man--""From 1935?
30532A very wise man once said that"Variety is the spice of life,"so why not take a hint, some of you would- be brickbat pitchers, and pipe down?
30532A whirlpool of what?
30532Again I asked the Robot,"Who commands you?"
30532And Chet was there, and the ship.... What had Chet said?
30532And Chet-- Chet was up there at some hitherto untouched height, battling with-- what?
30532And have you seen her?
30532And now that you have had your first birthday, when are you going to start a quarterly?
30532And the humans of the forest-- were there none of them here?
30532And what was within it?
30532And when are you going to have a sequel to"The Gray Plague,"by L. A. Eshbach which appeared in the November issue?
30532And why had she been captured?
30532Are you crazy?
30532Are you seeing anything?"
30532Behind, and above him, towering straight up-- my God!--what was it?
30532Boxed in on all sides by such a barrier, how was I to get out word of the menace?
30532Bruce, have you developed that new and infinitely powerful explosive you were working on?"
30532But as it is the usual custom to do so here goes: Excellent stories-- all of the first five volumes; good stories-- who''s interested?
30532But did she not know what this meant?
30532But how?
30532But that implies Time?
30532But this Tugh-- was he armed?
30532But what were they saying?
30532But what would that life be?
30532But where was Chet?
30532But why, and how, scientifically do we progress along the Time- scroll?
30532But why?
30532But-- do you-- need me?"
30532Can you do it as if something had happened to the shell?"
30532Chet''s voice came sharp and clear:"Rescue switch-- ready?"
30532Could I not leave the cage and do things in 1920 at the same time in my boyhood I was doing other things?
30532Crazy dreams, Warrington?
30532Diane?"
30532Did a rock move?
30532Did he not have to work and slave hour after hour, day after day and month after month to perfect it?
30532Did they stop there?"
30532Did you bring a car as I told you?"
30532Did you ever run into anything like it?"
30532Do you know how much energy is contained in matter?
30532Do you think Charleston an especially dangerous place for him to be?"
30532Do you understand?"
30532Do you understand?"
30532Do you understand?"
30532Edwin C. Magnuson asks you what you print there: only letters praising your magazine to the skies?
30532Exactly where was it, I wonder?"
30532Finally, how could the atmosphere support a denser substance like the Heaviside Layer?
30532Followed?
30532Had I hit it?
30532Had Jim hit me too hard?
30532Had her clear, smiling eyes seen what occurred?
30532Had it become aware of my thoughts?
30532Had it heard my words?
30532Had it to do with the Dark Moon?
30532Had she some enemy?
30532Had some human master set these controls?
30532Had the ape- men been drawn there through curiosity at seeing their ship float down?
30532Had there been any damage?
30532Had they been set into some combination to give this monster its orders?
30532Had they felt the shock?
30532Had this peculiar formation of the ocean bed anything to do with the problem at hand?
30532Have they found another gold- bricking officer to mess up my clean beds?"
30532Have you been down in the hole, Carnes?"
30532Have you set in motion every agency that the government has?"
30532He tried to speak-- but what words could express the tumult of emotions that arose within him?
30532How could I hope to surprise it?
30532How did the power get to them?
30532How did you do it?"
30532How did you get here?
30532How do you feel now?"
30532How in hell_ did_ you get here?"
30532How was it to be combatted even if our forces knew of the danger?
30532How would you like to be melted away, piece by little piece, till you''re like that in there?"
30532I managed,"Should I speak, and demand the meaning of this?
30532I murmured,"He-- it-- that thing sitting there-- is that the one which captured you and brought you to 1935?"
30532I said,"Have you a name?"
30532I was inside the lines, but was my deception successful?
30532I wonder if that were His purpose.... How, scientifically, do we progress along the Time- scroll?
30532Ice coming down from the Poles?
30532If he is n''t using a ray of some sort, what on earth is he using?"
30532If the grim effect of the baleful green rays was universal in its extent, what then of old Emil Crawford and his niece, Ruth Lawton?
30532If they know so much why do n''t they start a magazine and put all other publications out of business?
30532Is it Tugh who controls you?"
30532Is it understood?"
30532Is that all clear?"
30532Is that it?"
30532Is that not true?"
30532Is there any chance of our getting a story by Fred MacIsaac, Theodore Roscoe, or Erle Stanley Gardner?
30532Is this perchance an explanation of why the pages of history are so thronged with tales of ghosts?
30532Is this, perchance, what we call the phenomena of the supernatural?
30532It looked like-- but no: how could water stand straight up like that, for hundreds of feet?
30532It might have been policy to play him-- but what was the use?
30532Mary said quaveringly:"What are you going to do?"
30532Meanwhile, would you like to do a little more flying?"
30532Mechanisms?
30532Mr. Shea, ca n''t you see that the publication of first- class stories, as in this magazine, is the best possible way to popularize Science Fiction?
30532Necessity knows no law.... What are the defenses around New York?"
30532Oh, no: did I not promise differently?
30532Or beasts?...
30532Or do you simply prefer inferior stuff?
30532Or had my face relaxed with the shock of the blow?
30532Or has he read the chapter which Benjamin Franklin added to the Bible?
30532Or if not that, how about publishing"our"magazine twice a month?
30532Or was this girl, who laughed so lightly, playing with him?
30532Or were my thoughts intangible vibrations registering upon some infinitely sensitive mechanism within that metal head?
30532Refuse, and--""Yes?"
30532She said firmly:"You will not hurt me?"
30532Stop us now?
30532Tell me-- you see how interested I am in your plans?--what did you say of the Dark Moon?"
30532That voice-- where had I heard it before?
30532The Robot said,"Is it clearing?
30532The Thing that lay on the floor within-- could it ever have been a man?
30532The axis of the Earth changing perhaps?
30532The first of the great Glacial periods?
30532The first test had been passed; would the other be as successful?
30532The idea seemed tremendously amusing-- or was it that the simple rite indicated more than he could bear to know?
30532The next shift waiting to go down?
30532The paper and the page size of the magazine are okay, but why not smooth edges?
30532The results were not fatal-- who said"unfortunately?"
30532The room was swaying in long undulations, or was it my head?
30532The thing reiterated,"Is that not true?"
30532Then what had frightened them?
30532There is metal, we know, that conducts an electric current in only one direction: why not a gas that will do the same with light?"
30532Through refraction of light?...
30532Time had passed; or had it?
30532Tugh was in the room behind us, and I turned to him and asked:"What are you going to do?"
30532Was I dreaming?
30532Was I seeing things?
30532Was it acting for the cripple Tugh?
30532Was that to be the_ New York''s_ fate?
30532Was the splotch of color-- that mottling of crimson and copper and gray-- a part of the metallic mass?
30532Was there hope there?
30532Was there life?
30532Was this the reason for the silence?
30532Was this true?
30532Was this valley, so peaceful in its sunlit stillness, a place of death, from which all living things kept clear?
30532We were loose: a sudden rush-- Dared I chance it?
30532Well, why does n''t he?
30532Were they controls?
30532Were thoughts lurking in that metal skull?
30532What I want to know is, why are so many mossbacks throwing brickbats?
30532What animals, with the smaller stamp of modernity, were pressing here for supremacy?
30532What are the defenses within fifty miles of New York?"
30532What are you going to do about it?"
30532What are you going to do?"
30532What catastrophe did this herald?
30532What could be their purpose?
30532What could it be?--great ships out of space?--an invasion?
30532What could that mean?
30532What could warrant such disruption of the traffic of the world?
30532What devil''s work was this that barred them from the safety of the ship?
30532What did this mean?
30532What do you mean?"
30532What does it look like to you?"
30532What does it matter if some of the stories are not on the scientific chalk line?
30532What had happened there?
30532What had happened?
30532What happened?"
30532What have you got here?"
30532What in Heaven''s name does it all mean?"
30532What is it?"
30532What is my idea of an automaton?
30532What is your name?"
30532What is your program?"
30532What mechanisms could make this thing think?
30532What more do you want?"
30532What must happen to the foreign body which had been introduced into the hole that is no longer a hole?"
30532What of Chet?
30532What of astronomy?
30532What of his arrows and their detonite tips?
30532What other horror had driven them in screaming terror to that fearful spring out into the open where they must have known danger awaited?
30532What shall we do now?"
30532What strange animals were here, roaming these dark primeval glades?
30532What strange mechanisms were in there?
30532What was happening behind that screen?
30532What was in that head?
30532What was the number of my cave?
30532What weapons might be beneath that cloak?
30532What were the sheets?--fabric as old- fashioned as the room, or were they cellulex?
30532What would they find?
30532What would you?
30532What''s a meal more or less when you think of that?"
30532What''s all our power for?"
30532What''s his trouble?"
30532What''s that?"
30532What''s the story?"
30532What, to me, was the life of this unknown Harl compared to the safety of Mary Atwood?
30532What?
30532When the final check- up came would there be two reports for one cave, none for another?
30532Who can say, up to 1935, how many Time- traveling humans have come briefly back?
30532Who is in this other cage which follows us?"
30532Who''s going to stop us now?"
30532Why ca n''t we see it from Earth?
30532Why did it not make its presence known through interference?
30532Why hours?
30532Why is it dark?...
30532Why not minutes?...
30532Why not put out Astounding Stories twice a month, or make it a weekly?
30532Why the long delay?
30532Why was this matter not visible through telescopes?
30532Why write those upon the scroll?
30532Why, then, did He create ugliness and evil?
30532Why?
30532Will not?
30532Williams, are those projectors all loaded?"
30532Would he kill me if I crossed him?...
30532Would he sense who I was?
30532Would the guard before that building require a pass- word?
30532Would the guard see him, or had he taken to shelter?
30532Would the other cage come?
30532Would they break through our defenses at last?
30532Would you go back and deliver yourself into his hands-- because of me?"
30532Writhing?
30532Yet why must they be that?
30532You do n''t believe me?
30532You do n''t expect to drill down ahead of him?"
30532You have ropes, of course?"
30532You know what to do if Harl dares to follow and stop simultaneously?"
30532You see this?
30532You understand?"
30532Your orders do not make it possible?"
30532_ The vulnerable points!_ Where were they?
30532gasped Bullard,"earthquake?--explosion?
30532he asked,"--and you came up to warn me?"
30532or occasional brickbats?
19660... You do n''t know it? 19660 A heavy- set, ruddy- faced, red- headed man?"
19660A trigger- man?
19660A welcoming committee, eh?
19660Ah, now, did you so?
19660All right, Master Mind, how''d you handle it, how would you?
19660And just how far will you go for the Corps?
19660And you are n''t?
19660And you got all that from a bird?
19660Any idea where he came from?
19660Any of you been here before?
19660Any special way you want it done?
19660Anything I can do for you, sir?
19660Anything yet?
19660Are the natives all right?
19660Are these trees and bushes conscious, too?
19660Are we dreaming this, Thelma?
19660Are you a member of the Inter- Stellar Corps?
19660Are you seeing what I am in Nock''s mind?
19660Are you sorry you made the choice you did-- to give all that up?
19660Are you sure?
19660Bees?
19660Beg pardon, Mr. Hanlon, sir, but is anything wrong?
19660But did you notice,Hanlon''s eyes were cloudy,"he does n''t say a thing anywhere about the part his planet or system were to play in the conquest?"
19660But how can I prove anything when you''ve already made up your mind not to believe me?
19660Can you dish it out, Mister?
19660Can you do it?
19660Can you find out what is happening on other parts of Guddu?
19660Can you hear me, George Hanlon?
19660Can you still hear me, George Hanlon?
19660Come anywhere near what I was supposed to get out?
19660D''you suppose that failing health and mind could have been caused, instead of natural?
19660Did he say who was with him in this outrageous undertaking?
19660Do I ask where I''m going?
19660Do n''t you believe a Corpsman should use all his abilities in his service?
19660Do they all produce the same ores as this one?
19660Do you have a dog of your own here?
19660Do you have any idea where your planet is located in space? 19660 Do you know a Mr. Panek?
19660Do you know a planet named''Algon''or''Guddu''?
19660Do you know what he was planning, Your Majesty?
19660Do you think, Cadet Hanlon, that we would let any man get to within weeks of graduation without knowing all about him?
19660Does it matter?
19660Drunk, you mean?
19660Find anything we want there, Captain?
19660Fine words,snapped the leader,"but can you take it if the going gets tough?"
19660For a thousand a month and keep? 19660 Full coverage?"
19660Gypsy, eh?
19660Has Trowbridge cracked that code yet?
19660Have either of you any orders for me concerning the mopping up?
19660Have those others got some sort of tractor beam?
19660Have you forgotten about the special mail box for SS men?
19660Have you got a half hour or so to talk, Mr. Philander, sir?
19660He your pet, Pete?
19660He''s boss, ai n''t he?
19660Hey, those natives are partly vegetable, are n''t they? 19660 How about Cadet Hanlon?
19660How big is this planet, anyway? 19660 How d''you do it?"
19660How did I ever get such ability?
19660How did he die?
19660How did you get here so soon?
19660How did you get your own box so quickly?
19660How do I know?
19660How do you suppose it happens I can, Dad?
19660How does it happen I''ve never seen you around the buildings or grounds here?
19660How''d I do?
19660How''d you know it was a''she''?
19660How... how''d you learn all that, sir?
19660Huh?
19660Huh?
19660I ask ya, whatcha tryin''t''do, punk?
19660I asked,the man''s tone was a little sharper,"if there was anything I could do for you?"
19660I still ca n''t make out why?
19660I wonder, then, what Bohr had in mind to bring such a man here like that?
19660I wonder..."Yes?
19660If it is n''t tiring you too much, Geck, please ask them if there is any building going on besides the smelters at the iron mines?
19660If you can talk with your minds?
19660Is he dead, Boss, is he?
19660Is it ethical in such a purely personal matter, to use Corps funds? 19660 Is it something you can use?"
19660Is it too late to get an audience with the emperor?
19660Is the puppy all right?
19660Is there more than one ship being built?
19660Just what do you expect to do in the Corps, Mister?
19660Just what will my duties be, sir? 19660 Just who is this''boss''who''s interested in me?"
19660May I answer that, Sire?
19660May we try it on my crew first, sir?
19660Me? 19660 Me?"
19660Mr. Philander, sir? 19660 Nine, eh?"
19660No trouble?
19660Not... not even graduate?
19660Nothing to do but work, eh?
19660Of course,stiffly punctilious,"only,"his eyes were still hard and stormy,"was it important enough to break mother''s heart?"
19660Planning? 19660 Ready?"
19660Saves money on feed bills, eh?
19660Sell Gypsy? 19660 Ships?
19660Should I be?
19660So th''fair- haired boy''s also a animal trainer, eh?
19660So, you got back?
19660Space ships, you mean?
19660Still harping on that?
19660That bad, is it?
19660The Service has it all thought out, has n''t it?
19660The food stuff?
19660The grub here any good? 19660 The people of Simonides like the empire status-- why should anyone here on Terra object?"
19660The... the Secret Service, sir? 19660 Then it wo n''t particularly bother you if we... uh... keep your destination a secret for a while?"
19660Then why do n''t you listen to me instead of taking the word of this slime- snake who calls himself an instructor? 19660 Then you think he may be back of this whatever- it- is?"
19660Then you wo n''t want to come back?
19660Think you''re that good, eh? 19660 Those do?"
19660Tractors?
19660Trouble?
19660Trowbridge? 19660 Try''n''a show up us other guards?
19660Want me along, sir?
19660Want the doctor to look you over again?
19660Want to come with me, Dad?
19660Was I supposed to have some?
19660We got here in time, then?
19660We lost many?
19660Well?
19660What about his Prime Minister... and by the way, what was his name? 19660 What about that fleet you say is being built on... on some other planet?"
19660What about the emperor, sir?
19660What about the mines and factories?
19660What about the natives? 19660 What about those near the places where the ships were being built?"
19660What did you learn?
19660What do I do in a case like this?
19660What do the shock- rods do to you?
19660What do you mean by that?
19660What do you mean so quickly? 19660 What does it do to them?"
19660What gives you that idea?
19660What happened to you, Patrick?
19660What if one of them is sick?
19660What is that?
19660What makes you think I''m not on the up and up? 19660 What sort of metal huts?"
19660What toogan?
19660What were you doing in the bank this morning?
19660What''d the Big Brass Bull want, Han?
19660What''ll we do with the bodies?
19660What''s all this about, sir? 19660 What''s going on here?"
19660What''s going on here?
19660What''s ridiculous, Boss, what is?
19660What''s the big idea of all this? 19660 What''s the difference between being killed cleanly in a fight, as against a lifetime in prison, or a firing squad?"
19660What''s the excitement?
19660What''s the gag, Dad?
19660What''s the matter with that pilot?
19660What''s the matter?
19660What''s this all about, Hanlon?
19660What''s wrong?
19660What''sa idea drivin''yer crew up t''three an''a half er four?
19660What, again?
19660What... what do you mean, sir?
19660What? 19660 What?"
19660What?
19660When and how did you get this?
19660Where do I send it, and to whom?
19660Where do the passengers keep their pets?
19660Where you used me to further your schemes, eh?
19660Where''s the super''s office?
19660Where''s this Kentucky and what''s a mint- julep?
19660Who are these men... and what in Snyder''s name happened to them?
19660Who are you, anyway?
19660Who are you, huh, and what''s your game, what''s your game?
19660Who d''you suppose sicced the dog on him? 19660 Who did it?"
19660Who is trying to kill me?
19660Who was that?
19660Who''d bother t''try?
19660Why did he say they were building them elsewhere than on this planet?
19660Why do n''t he flip her over and beat it?
19660Why do you torture yourself like this? 19660 Why not some of all three?"
19660Why should he get off free iffen th''rest of us do n''t?
19660Why''re you so hipped on that subject?
19660Why,Abrams really looked at Hanlon for the first time,"you''re the young man who saved my life on Terra, are n''t you?"
19660Why?
19660Why?
19660Will the queen do?
19660Will you want me any more, sir?
19660Wonder why he''s in this, feeling that way?
19660Yeah?
19660Yes?
19660You do?
19660You got any books on board? 19660 You have n''t been in the SS very long, have you, Hanlon?"
19660You mean, even a thing like this merely goes in there?
19660You miss the uniform, do n''t you, Spence?
19660You probably know already, so why ask me? 19660 You think you can tell me how to run my job?"
19660You want the whole thing written out for you in black and white?
19660You, George? 19660 You... you mean they''d let a pup like me issue commands to the whole Corps?"
19660Your bar here serve Cola?
19660Your men here yet?
19660*****"Why... how... what d''you mean, huh, what d''you mean?"
19660A Professor Panek, I believe...""Panek?"
19660A moment''s silence, then"Do you still want that overseer''s job?"
19660A real one, not a dub like himself?
19660A toogan?
19660Also, what about Abrams?
19660Am I some sort of a mutant?
19660And Spence, did I remember to tell you how proud I am of you?"
19660And credits in quantity is what I''m after...""What''s that got to do with me, huh, what has it?"
19660And if so, how could he locate any of them, tonight, with whom he could possibly communicate?
19660And why was he here in the first place?
19660Any rules against my going down there and looking at''em?
19660Anything to make you... hey,''Newton''?
19660Are you all settled and comfortable?"
19660Are you willing to be tested under a truth drug?"
19660Are you...?"
19660As the two went outside, the Simonidean asked curtly,"Wine, women or song?"
19660Better get Trowbridge on it anyway, had n''t we?"
19660Better use a disguise and different name, had n''t you?"
19660Better''n me at bumping off a man, huh?
19660Better''n me?"
19660But about His Highness-- was he top man?"
19660But could he believe this now... after all those dreadful years?
19660But how on earth did you ever teach him so quickly?"
19660But how... how could they?"
19660But if so, how or why?
19660But the question is: will you work with me?"
19660But what about the others?
19660But what did it mean?
19660But why?
19660By the way, would you sell me the puppy?"
19660Can do?"
19660Can you fix so all we can have?"
19660Can you give me any dope on it?"
19660Caused?"
19660Chapter 11 A black look suffused the leader''s face at Hanlon''s impertinent"can you dish it out, Mister?"
19660Did I slip somewhere?
19660Did cats or horses-- or birds or insects-- have brains that worked the same as the dogs?
19660Did n''t have any trouble, eh?"
19660Did that mean what he was afraid it meant?
19660Did this mean, he wondered disconsolately as he went to his stateroom, that he was to be a failure in the Secret Service?
19660Did you also know he was n''t human-- that he was an alien from some...""Not human?
19660Did you forget to lock the gates?"
19660Did you know about all the warships he was building on Algon?"
19660Did you know he was secretly building a great war fleet on another planet?"
19660Did you think your mine was all there was there?
19660Distance-- let''s see?
19660Do they eat then, too?"
19660Do you have your own servant?"
19660Do you hear me?
19660Do you play?
19660Do you suppose I can take it, and not give the show away?"
19660Do you want to bunk here at Base?"
19660Do you want to resign, or will you force me to take you to the commandant?"
19660Does he especially need today''s lesson?"
19660First, let me ask you, did you know who''His Highness''really was?"
19660For if he could control animals-- would it work on birds, or insects?
19660Had he been so treated by the Corps experts that his mind would be blanked out in such emergencies?
19660Had n''t the hypnosis worked on him?
19660Had they all been killed?
19660Have the experts got''em figured out yet?"
19660Have they got wind of what I''ve learned?
19660Hawarden gasped, and Hanlon added,"We mean, was he alone in it, or was some other planet or system backing him?"
19660He caught a fragment of thought--"another one after my job?"
19660He could n''t think of a single reg he had broken-- yet why else would he be called before Admiral Rogers, the dread Commandant of Cadets?
19660He had been so proud here... how could he possibly stand giving it all up?
19660He had made a clean score with that reckless"can you dish it out, Mister?"
19660He looked at Hanlon a long moment, then asked sharply,"How did Rellos die?"
19660He repeated his query, dully,"An alien?"
19660He signalled Hawarden to one side, and asked in a whisper,"What''s a toogan?"
19660He started to turn the set off, then, as he heard Hanlon ask"Anything else now?"
19660He wondered what it was-- perhaps some alien animal- life very low in the scale?
19660Hmmm, I wonder?...
19660How about Bohr''s notes?"
19660How could anything possibly make up for losing the respect and friendship of everyone he had ever known?
19660How could he fit into such an organization?
19660How in the name of Snyder was such a thing possible?
19660How long does the job last?"
19660How was he to get that location?
19660How''d he ever get here to Sime?"
19660How''d you like to go back to Sime and try explaining to His Highness why you''re not getting out as much stuff as''s been proved possible?"
19660I command you to tell me, are you a Corpsman?"
19660I mean, do you know the suns closest to yours, anything about their distances or magnitudes?"
19660I mean, it is n''t one of those... those radium ores that make a fellow sterile, is it?
19660I never heard him called anything but''His Highness''?"
19660I suppose the cruiser Commander will let me ride with him?"
19660I''m not prying if you do n''t want to talk, but should n''t I warn all the men who saw it, to keep quiet?"
19660If I was a John Law would I merely have stopped you?
19660If he''s in your way, together we oughta be able to get rid of him... but let''s play it safe, eh?"
19660Incidentally, was n''t it rather straining coincidence that it was an admiral who came along just in time to save you?
19660Incidentally, what about this... Philander, did you say his name was?
19660Is it another of your pets, Boss?"
19660It is n''t anything dangerous, is it?
19660It''s almost like you do n''t trust me, or something?"
19660Just how, Mister, do you think you can get away with cheating at a final examination?"
19660Let''s see, now, how did I do it?"
19660Like trees that can move and think?"
19660May I talk with your planetographers, please?"
19660Now, do you mind?
19660Now, how could he best turn that to his advantage?
19660Oh, oh, was that"failure"he had also read in Panek''s mind that unsuccessful attempt he, Hanlon, had thwarted?
19660On Algon?"
19660Or have you delegated the handling of us guards to some lesser man?"
19660Or was that name"Algon"merely one the super used in place of the real one he did n''t know he knew?
19660Or, again, could it be that he was so well trusted that the knowledge had not been sealed off from him?
19660Or, he brightened momently, could he develop other methods of ferreting out information?
19660Or-- and Hanlon almost caught his breath in momentary fear-- was this ape a mind reader?
19660Or-- startling thought-- was he actually a human being at all?
19660Perhaps... but if that was the case, why let him get here at all?
19660Planning?
19660Prime Minister of Simonides, of course... but you said''was''?"
19660Should he go to some other planet?
19660Surely, the fact that as a child he was supposed to have been a mind- reader was n''t enough... or was it, from their standpoint?
19660That''s why it hurt... say, now I can change my name back, ca n''t I?
19660The main thing is, will you consent to the plan I''ve suggested?"
19660The stock and insurance policy in my own box are decoys, eh?"
19660Then, abruptly,"Are you sure that was truth- serum in that hypodermic?"
19660These your bags?"
19660They are fine, friendly people.... You''ll rendezvous the fleet immediately?
19660Uh... got any money to buy those you do n''t have?"
19660Was Panek-- and through him this as- yet- unmet leader-- behind that attempt on Abrams''life?
19660Was he part-- perhaps head-- of the plot?
19660Was he some kind of a mutant with powers never before known?
19660Was he to become another victim of one of the leader''s"little accidents"?
19660Was he used to mind- reading, so that he had developed a defense against it?
19660Was it because he already knew that mind''s pattern, he wondered?
19660Was n''t it rather peculiar you were not harmed by any of those ferocious bees?"
19660Was the guy human-- or did he have a mind- control of some sort?
19660Was the victim another?
19660Was this a bona- fide job, or a trap?
19660Was this part of what he was being sent to Simonides to investigate?
19660What about Philander?
19660What are you, an animal trainer?"
19660What business did he have, mixing with mature, deadly killers such as these?
19660What chance did he have now?
19660What did he know about detective work?
19660What is it?"
19660What kind of torture was this, anyway?
19660What made you bring that up?"
19660What planet was the man talking about?
19660What sort of talents and abilities did he possess, that he could react thus to a truth- serum?
19660What was he to do?
19660What was their game?
19660What were the Corps''top brass thinking of, anyway, to put so much on an untried kid just out of school?
19660What will be my apparent status before the crews doing the searching?"
19660What you wish to know?"
19660What''s so important you have to get me out of bed?"
19660What''s that leader got in his devious mind, anyway?"
19660What''s this all about?"
19660What''sa big idea, gettin''out more ore''n we do?"
19660When the peephole opened he asked,"The Boss in?"
19660When they left Hanlon asked,"Want to finish the game-- or rather, since the board was upset, want to play another?"
19660Where do I find you there?"
19660Where does the SS get''em?"
19660Where was"here?"
19660Where were all those"vast rewards"his dad and Admiral Rogers had talked about so eloquently?
19660Where''d you think it was, on Andromeda Seven?"
19660While they were waiting for the bird, Hanlon asked,"What about the new ships?
19660Who was he?
19660Who was this amazing young man?
19660Who was this"he,"and why had Hanlon better pray"he"liked him?
19660Who... or what... was he?
19660Why could n''t he contact them?
19660Why did n''t that monster say something?
19660Why did they want to send him away?
19660Why did you let him think you were still a Corpsman... if you''re not?"
19660Why do n''t you think he''ll need punishment?"
19660Why do you ask?"
19660Why had he been selected?
19660Why must he be burdened with such a load as they had tied onto him?
19660Why was I, so drastically different from them, chosen as a guard?
19660Why?
19660Why?"
19660Will that make a difference?"
19660Would he thus get best leads?
19660Would that part of his mind then be lost?
19660Would the Corps officers have gone home?
19660You have no objections to travel?"
19660You may remember you once asked me if I could''dish it out''?
19660You mean something else beyond ruling Simonides through me, or possibly supplanting me entirely?"
19660You want to get in with the gang, is that it?"
19660_ Eighteen!_ For what purpose was such a fleet being built?
19660_ Why did n''t those pigeons hurry?_ Yet he knew they were searching frantically.
19660alien?"
19660he asked Geck in wonder,"why do you bother to speak with the voice to each other?"
31893A confession of his?
31893All well, Alent? 31893 Alone?"
31893Am I not, Larry?
31893And Manape?
31893And if your people there are in trouble, in danger-- you will let me help?
31893And ready-- for everything else?
31893And the one thing we must do?
31893And the one thing?
31893And what are you going to do with us in the meantime? 31893 And who is this?"
31893And why should n''t I be here attending to my own affairs? 31893 Are ye assembled, frogfolk, that ye may hear the decision of your Thinking Ones?"
31893Are you doing any flying?
31893Are you in your right mind?
31893Back?
31893But how? 31893 But how?"
31893But why would he have gone, Tina?
31893But why,I asked soothingly,"should you wish to kill anyone?
31893Ca n''t you see that there are things not even you should do? 31893 Can you climb, Ellen?"
31893Coincidence? 31893 Dearer than the Paste of Strange Dreams?"
31893Did we do that?
31893Did you find Migul and his captives-- the girl from 1777 and the man of 1935?
31893Did you try?
31893Do we go in here, or keep on ahead?
31893Do you know the underground route?
31893Do you mean,I said slowly, trying to understand what he had babbled forth,"that you have come out of the past?
31893Does Lee Bentley love me?
31893Does the Old Wise One learn wisdom at last?
31893Earth year, you mean?
31893Even in this age of yours they have not discovered that secret?
31893Frightened, Tina?
31893From when did you come?
31893Good God, what does it mean, anyway?
31893Have I not?
31893Have n''t you guessed the reason for my interest in your engines of destruction? 31893 Have ye brought the paste of evil to our abode, knowing well the strict proscription of our tribe?
31893Have you discovered there is no use opposing me, Bentley?
31893How are you going to go back to your own period-- your own era?
31893How can a man leave his own age and travel ahead to another?
31893How do you know all this?
31893How have you come to have the cage, Tugh?
31893How, Mary?
31893I wonder how the old man will take it when the world reads that the_ Bengal Queen_ went down with all on board? 31893 I''m sorry,"I commented,"to be an ungracious host, but I am wondering what your plans may be?
31893In here?
31893In our world, Tugh?
31893Interested in them?
31893Is it dark, Tina? 31893 Is it far, Princess?
31893Is it what you wanted?
31893Is that what you call it when you''ve just heard that it committed murder? 31893 Is that what you call searching for Migul?"
31893It would be fearful to be marooned here permanently, would n''t it? 31893 Kind of jumpy, eh?
31893Like any dumb strapper, you''ve got your mind made up, ai n''t you? 31893 May I take you and this friend of yours home, Princess?"
31893Morones?
31893Must we go the way of England, of France, of all Europe? 31893 Mystery?"
31893Nargyll, what did your master do with the visitor?
31893News to you, eh, Morones? 31893 No Robots in or about it?
31893No harm must come to the body of Lee, you understand? 31893 Now, Migul?"
31893Oh, Bentley,he called after a long interval of silence,"do you like the odor of violets?
31893Overhead?
31893Perhaps you can arrange for guides for us?
31893Princess, is it you?
31893Rascally?
31893Ready now?
31893Ready?
31893See this? 31893 Shall we return to the other room?"
31893So Harl made a confession, Princess?
31893So? 31893 Tell me,"he commanded sharply,"what year is this?"
31893That grave?
31893That,she said,"is none--""Of my affair?
31893The savage died in the interest of science?
31893They are ready for the demonstration at the palace?
31893This experiment of yours,said Bentley when the period of silence became unbearable,"--won''t you tell us about it?"
31893Tina, see here-- isn''t there something we can do?
31893Trouble? 31893 Valueless ye call the white sap?"
31893Was Alent at his post in the passage to the Robot caverns?
31893What are you doing here_ now_?
31893What difference does it make-- a few hours or a day? 31893 What do I care about them?"
31893What do you mean by that?
31893What do you mean, this particular one?
31893What do you mean?
31893What do you mean?
31893What do you mean?
31893What do you want to know?
31893What do you want?
31893What do you want?
31893What happened to the factor who was here before you?
31893What is it?
31893What is it?
31893What is that you said?
31893What is this?
31893What matter?
31893What mystery is there about Harl?
31893What of my memories?
31893What shall I do?
31893What''d you do with the bodies?
31893What''s the matter with you?
31893Where are the man and girl whom Migul stole?
31893Where did you leave Harl and the two visitors?
31893Where is Harl''s room?
31893Where is Harl?
31893Where is Morones?
31893Where is he now? 31893 Where?"
31893Which way next?
31893Which way, Tina? 31893 Who invited you?"
31893Who is Paul?
31893Who''ll get me?
31893Who''ll get me?
31893Will you be good enough to answer my question? 31893 Will you not tell us what you are going to do with us?"
31893Will you two be good enough to excuse me? 31893 Would that be satisfactory to Bentley, I wonder?"
31893Yes, sir?
31893You approve of my little plan to dominate the world?
31893You are feeling better?
31893You are not married?
31893You choose to be mysterious, sir?
31893You come from future Time?
31893You did n''t find out where he went?
31893You give me orders?
31893You give me your word of honor as a gentleman not to oppose me?
31893You have not mentioned this affair to anyone, Shiro?
31893You hear him?
31893You mean to say,we asked,"that the pup is now roaming around somewhere in the Twenty- second Century?"
31893You mean your brain is Bentley''s brain, and that Bentley''s body holds the brain of a great ape?
31893You mean,said Ellen huskily,"that Lee Bentley there is really an ape?"
31893You never heard of him again?
31893You realize, of course, that you''re not going back?
31893You think my friends will be rescued?
31893You told them about me?
31893You travel the Universe, I gather, and yet your scientists have not yet learned to move in time? 31893 You understand that no matter what the Apeman does, you must not try to slay him?"
31893You want me to take her away from Bentley and give her to you?
31893You want to come out and go into the front room?
31893You were below just now in the lower passages?
31893You will make no attempt to injure me?
31893You will see that it is not in vain?
31893You would like to see the Apeman?--the creature that looks so much like you that it will be like peering at yourself in the mirror? 31893 You''ll be careful, Tina?"
31893You''re not too tired?
31893_ Bien, mon cher ami_,he told me-- he was as apt to drop into French as Russian or any of a dozen other languages--"a name-- what is it?
31893***** But what could Bentley do?
31893***** But who was"Paul?"
31893***** How could he take the pugnacity out of Apeman without destroying him?
31893***** How long would Barter wait before making his next move?
31893***** If Manape were to attempt first aid for Apeman, how would such a sight react upon Ellen Estabrook?
31893***** Morones''smile might have been a grin of satisfaction, at Olear''s question:"Is that all you''ve bought since the last freighter was here?"''
31893***** What was Barter doing now?
31893*****"Coincidence?"
31893*****"You see?"
318935--Drayle''s question( page 124)"Have you arranged the elements?"
31893A storm of nature?
31893Also, when our people make an interplanetary flight, would we go with intent to kill?
31893Am I correct?"
31893And again she demanded of Tugh,"I ask you, where is Harl?"
31893And even their leaders, who had sometimes opposed-- were they not kind at heart?
31893And how could he fight?
31893And if he were to enunciate words that Ellen could understand, what then?
31893And if to to- morrow, why not to next year, next century?
31893And that grave behind the cabin, who or what is it?"
31893And the document?
31893And you come shooting off-- trying to make out I stole the''lucene and killed those two fellows, eh?
31893And, armed with the white- ray, once I get into the place-- You see that I am clever, do n''t you?"
31893Are my eyes betraying me, or is this a nightmare from which I shall waken presently?
31893Are those lights ahead at the Power House entrance?"
31893Are you happy and satisfied-- with what your brothers do with women?"
31893As for you, you''ll leave here when I bid you, and not before, understand?
31893Astounding Stories is O. K. Why do we want a lot of deep science with our stories?
31893But how could she believe, even if a way were discovered?
31893But if Manape thought you desired his friendship for Bentley...?"
31893But seriously, do n''t you think that affairs of the heart are very much out of place in"our"type of magazine?
31893But what did he use for anesthesia?
31893But what?
31893But what?
31893But with his gibberish was he actually conversing with them?
31893But would Apeman stand the journey?
31893But would her mind stand up under the awfulness of it?
31893But would not Ellen die of fright at being borne away through the jungle in the arms of an ape?
31893But you and Harl knew that?"
31893But, if he strode toward her now, how would Barter explain that Manape had understood his words?
31893By the way, I wonder who drew the illustration for this story?
31893Ca n''t we send a squad of police after Migul?--go with them-- actually make an effort to find them?
31893Ca n''t you see that, man?
31893Caleb Barter?
31893Could he force those hands to something else?
31893Could he, after all, be a madman?
31893Could n''t abandon this post to the wogglies, could we?
31893Could they cross the Atlantic with their enormous load of armored hull, or must they be transported?
31893Demented, or obsessed with some strange purpose?
31893Did I not invent these dials?"
31893Did he dare try?
31893Did they think now that they would find us passive and unresisting?
31893Did they want to take our cities undamaged?
31893Did you empty them?"
31893Did you ever notice that 75% of all the Readers who say they do not care for science in their stories are women?
31893Do n''t you understand that some things should be left entirely in the hands of God?"
31893Do you believe me to be a child, or a weakling?
31893Do you realize that you are being rather absurd?"
31893Do you suppose we''d all get locked up for experimenting with this sort of thing fictionally?
31893Do you think you can confuse me, turn me from my purpose, with words?
31893Do you want me to tell you a secret?
31893Do you wonder now that I am unnerved?"
31893Do you?
31893Does he despise me for so freely admitting my love?
31893Going to finish me next, I suppose?"
31893Had Barter foreseen all that?
31893Had he walked in his sleep, drawn by some freak of his subconscious mind into the room of Manape?
31893Had they not checked the advance of an irresistible army to give him and his new weapon an opportunity to open the eyes of the people?
31893Has he any feeling about it at all?
31893Has his mind completely gone?"
31893Have you seen the Council about it to- day?"
31893He added earnestly,"Do not you think we waste time?
31893He himself had said that he had prayed to"them"for delay; that in a few weeks he would do-- what?...
31893His ape brain would warn him, but would his human strength avail in case of necessity, in case of attack by another ape, or a four- footed carnivore?
31893How about it, boys?
31893How am I to understand?
31893How better can he learn than by watching our behavior?"
31893How came Bentley in this room?
31893How can I know?
31893How can you do such a horrible thing?"
31893How could Bentley render the travesty unconscious and yet make sure that Apeman did not die?
31893How could he kiss this woman whom he loved with the gross lips of Manape, the great ape?
31893How could he tell her his love when his voice was such as to frighten the very wild beasts of the jungle?
31893How could he tell?
31893How could she know that she was actually in the power of an ape, and that her loved one actually pursued to save her?
31893How long had he held this great ape in captivity?
31893How shall I proceed from this moment on?
31893How shall I procure food for Ellen?
31893How would she react to the horrible thing he had told her?
31893How?
31893I had work to do; why should I neglect it to go scuttling home because someone who feared these swarming rats had begged me to run for cover?
31893I may be master of the world; who knows?
31893I said to myself, why should a man be a helpless stick upon the stream of time?
31893I suppose you''ve long since decided that way, Lee?"
31893I wonder what?"
31893If Manape were to attempt to take Apeman back to Caleb Barter, leading the way for Ellen, would she follow, and what would his action tell her?
31893If Tina did not return, what would he do?
31893If he did, then what would he do next?
31893If he left the apes in the hands of the natives, what then?
31893If the Readers want reprints why does n''t Mr. Clayton publish an annual chock full of reprints for these reprint hounds?
31893If there were anyone in the jungle back of them, why had he or they failed to challenge them?
31893If they went wild through the native village, slaying and laying waste, would Bentley be responsible for loss of life?
31893In other words, why can he not slip back through time to yesterday; or ahead to to- morrow?
31893Is everybody so pleased with your book that you receive nothing but commendatory letters?
31893Is it some weird fever?
31893Is the Power House well guarded by humans?"
31893It would not be easy to be brave, would it?
31893It''s by Jack Williamson: need more be said?
31893Just think, would we, if we received visitors from space, make war on them?
31893Just why do you permit your Authors to inject messy love affairs into otherwise excellent imaginative fiction?
31893Larry here?
31893Larry whispered:"What does this mean, Tina?"
31893Long enough for Apeman to be well of his illness, so that he might observe what havoc an ape''s brain might work with a human body?
31893Long enough for Ellen to accustom herself to life among the apes?
31893Long enough to allow the brain of Bentley to discover what miracles intellect might do with the body of Manape?
31893Now, with your kind permission, I will burst into the little(?)
31893Oh, I know that he was you-- but where would all three of us have been had it not been for the powerful body of Manape, the great ape?
31893Or did violets possess odor?
31893Or had disaster come upon us all?...
31893Or had mankind strangely turned decadent, and rushed back in a hundred years or so to savagery?
31893Or is this too feeble a simile?
31893Or the heart?
31893Or would the cunning of Apeman, denizen of the jungle, warn him against any such?
31893Or would they race for the jungle to escape?
31893Or, rather, as it would have been yesterday had you looked into a mirror?"
31893Perhaps you can lead us to food and water?"
31893Princess?
31893Purposely, I mean?"
31893Say, did n''t they have any dumber strappers around than you?
31893See the blood on his shoulders?"
31893Shall I tell you why?"
31893She whispered to Larry,"I think it is best, do n''t you?"
31893So what are you going to do about it?"
31893Suppose his man''s brain harbored thoughts of vengeance on enemies, and he now possesses the might of the great ape to carry out his vengeance?
31893Suppose they swept over Africa like a cloud of locusts?
31893Suppose you were taken out of the wilds and dropped into a ballroom?"
31893Tell me, why did you drive him off?"
31893That is an order-- understand?"
31893That is my conception of it; is it clear to you?"
31893The men of the fighting planes were marked for death; one read it in their eyes; but who of us was not?
31893The other door?
31893The questions which turned over and over in Bentley''s mind were these: How shall I tell Ellen the truth?
31893The voices were thanking God-- for what?
31893Then what does he do?
31893Then:"Surrender?"
31893There are other ways of... figuring time now?"
31893Thinking then that the travesty in there with her-- with Bentley''s body-- was really Bentley, to what lengths might she not be persuaded in her love?
31893This, I take it, is a ship for navigating space?"
31893Tina gasped,"Where are our visitors-- the young man and the girl?"
31893Tina said to him:"Johns, what is being done?"
31893Tugh has not passed back?"
31893Understand?"
31893Understand?"
31893Was Barter smiling to himself, back there in his awful hermitage, waiting for the working out of his"experiment"?
31893Was he irrational, this exile of Time who had impressed his sinister personality upon so many different eras?
31893Was it her woman''s intuition which told her that Manape was a safe guardian?
31893Was it like this?
31893Was that necessary?"
31893Was the brain the seat of the emotions?
31893Was there any possibility of forcing Barter to perform the operation?
31893Was this mercy?--from such an enemy?
31893We are all unarmed, but what matter?
31893Well, are you proud?
31893Were the air- cruisers with the fleet, or would they come later?
31893Were they feeling their way?
31893What charges of tritonite had the demented man placed in those shells?
31893What did Barter expect Ellen to do?
31893What did Barter expect him to do?
31893What did Barter mean?
31893What did he expect Apeman to do?
31893What did that indicate?
31893What do I care for your records and your histories?
31893What do you mean?"
31893What dreadful thing has so awfully changed Lee?
31893What else could she think?
31893What experiment was he performing?
31893What food should Manape secure for Ellen?
31893What food will Apeman choose for my body to assimilate?
31893What fruits were edible, what poisonous?
31893What had Barter meant?
31893What has happened here?
31893What if Apeman selected, for example, a mate-- from among the hairy she''s?
31893What in the world has come over you?"
31893What is it, Nargyll?"
31893What is the rest of Barter''s experiment?
31893What now was Bentley supposed to do?
31893What part of it had the castaways been witnessing that they had not recognized?
31893What part of you that I can not see is Lee?"
31893What should he do now?
31893What should he do?
31893What was his duty where they were concerned?
31893What was the purpose of it?
31893What was their cruising range?
31893What was this that Barter was saying?
31893What would Apeman do, how would he behave, when the white body of Bentley was well again?
31893What would he see in her beloved eyes when she regained consciousness?
31893What would morning bring to this strange trio?
31893What would she think if an ape began to address her in English, and"Bentley"suddenly held speech with the great apes?
31893What would they do when they were released?
31893What year is this?"
31893What_ did_ Apeman think of his condition, anyway?
31893Where is the soldier who came to visit you?"
31893Where was Barter?
31893Where was he?
31893Where was the ape that had uttered that frightful noise?
31893Where was the scientist?
31893Who are you, what are you, that you should ask me a question the smallest child should know?"
31893Who goes there?"
31893Who is the best?
31893Who was this"Paul"who had"prevailed upon the Red Army"to halt?
31893Why did n''t you wake me up?"
31893Why do n''t you have one?
31893Why had this old man shut himself away from civilization like this?
31893Why in heaven''s name do they buy A. S. if they do n''t like it?
31893Why need he be borne on this slow current at the same speed?
31893Will she believe it?
31893Would Barter try in any way to discover how Bentley would behave in an emergency as leader of the apes?
31893Would Harl return?
31893Would he be in time?
31893Would he not be striving to watch the course of his experiment?
31893Would he wish to know sufficiently to create an emergency?
31893Would his brain be able to direct his mighty arms and his fighting fangs in a battle with the apes of the jungle?
31893Would that body grow well faster when guided by an ape''s brain than when a human brain was in command?
31893Would they bring the red ships?
31893Would they follow him?
31893Would ye not rule the Green Star?"
31893Would you care to look around a bit?"
31893Would you like to know what I have done?"
31893Yet, if you are Lee Bentley, who or what is that?"
31893You and Harl were pursuing that other cage?"
31893You do n''t think Harl would desert us?
31893You do not like my looks?
31893You have been fed?
31893You have the dial set for the proper night and hour?"
31893You have what you came for, you say; why not depart in peace?"
31893You mean then that we three are part of an experiment?
31893You mean-- Caleb Barter?
31893You probably sensed that last evening?"
31893You see, we are due to start in less than an hour, and--""A passenger would be in your way?"
31893You were below, Tugh?"
31893You''ve heard me say that I love Lee Bentley?"
31893You''ve heard that I was a master of trephining?
31893You, Manape, have the brain of Bentley, and Bentley has the brain of a great ape?"
31893[?]
31893ship?"
28617A murder in Laketon? 28617 Adjustable, see?
28617Ah, you''re beginning to find that out, are you?
28617An answer is it?
28617And do you believe it?
28617And now, what is the news you have for me?
28617And so at last you confess that it is not well to tamper with human life?
28617And who can say to what extent you have thus furthered natural evolution?
28617And why did you pick me to tell it to?
28617And you pleaded with him to return for us?
28617Are n''t you taking any special precautions?
28617Are there more like him?
28617Are we going to waste the whole afternoon just to watch a man run?
28617Are you going to arrest me?
28617Are you really going?
28617Are you telling me that this airship is operated with power from the sun?
28617Besides,he said,"what do you know about dog- fights?"
28617Better? 28617 But could stored sunshine alone give enough warmth for the luxuriant growth of those jungles?"
28617But what of the arts, Dr. Mundson? 28617 But what sane man can believe that even perfectly developed beings, through mental control, could overcome Nature''s fixed laws?"
28617But what would you think if I told you that there is not an ounce of gasoline in my heavier- than- air craft?
28617But where are there volcanoes in the south polar regions?
28617But, my young friend, do you realize that my sun- ship has a speed of over one thousand miles an hour, how much over I dare not tell you?
28617Ca n''t I call him up and see if he still wants to see me?
28617Can I do anything to help? 28617 Dale,"he said at length, turning slowly to face me,"you ask for an explanation of this horror?
28617Dare we do it?
28617Did he say at what time he would operate?
28617Did you ever see such a girl as that?
28617Did you notice anything of the sort?
28617Did you see or hear anything like a shadow or a person moving?
28617Did you see that Carnes?
28617Did you see?
28617Do I guess right,said Northwood,"that the light is responsible for this oasis in the ice?"
28617Do n''t they suffer?
28617Do you believe that we''ve got''em licked?
28617Do you realize what this means?
28617Do you understand?
28617Do you want to bring more creatures like Adam into the world?
28617Does what?
28617Fantastic?
28617General,he ordered,"will you kindly arrange for a plane?
28617Give yourself up?
28617Good Lord,Dodd shouted,"did you see the color of their shells, Tommy?"
28617Got them? 28617 Got to land... can you take it?
28617Had it occurred to you that that is our only weapon left? 28617 Had n''t we better notify the police?"
28617Has any one been out on reconnaissance?
28617Have I your gracious permission to arrest these three criminals?
28617Have you any idea of who did it, or how it was done?
28617Have you constructed such a device?
28617Have you got an invitation?
28617Have you got that truck I wired you to have ready?
28617Have you not guessed that Adam has developed an additional sense? 28617 Have you solved the method?"
28617How about the ground under the Colossus?
28617How about your marsupial lion now, Bram?
28617How are you going to bring us three back in your plane?
28617How are you going to get it out?
28617How d''you know, Haidia?
28617How d''you know?
28617How did you get that picture, Doctor?
28617How do you know about Adam? 28617 How in thunder do you know that?"
28617How long after that did you ring the alarm gongs?
28617How many got caught in the building?
28617How many thousands of years are you looking forward, Professor?
28617How much?
28617How you going to prove your contention?
28617I ca n''t frighten you?
28617If there was some flaw?
28617Is that a telephone to the house?
28617It is puzzling, is n''t it? 28617 Just what is your game?"
28617May we take a peep at Lona''s twins?
28617Mean?
28617Mr. Jervis, will you tell the police that there is no violence threatening and ask them to wait for a few minutes? 28617 Mr. Rogers, how, on a dark day and in the absence of a timepiece, would you judge the passage of time?"
28617Mr. Winston, will you answer Mr. Berger''s question?
28617My dear boy, who knows what the human body can stand? 28617 No?
28617No?
28617No?
28617Professor, have you ever played with the dead body of a frog?
28617Queer, fantastic thing, is n''t it?
28617Room 4167?

28617See? 28617 Shall I go along too?"
28617Slide one of them out?
28617So you had trouble with my guard, did you?
28617So you''re going up to Doc Livermore''s, are you?
28617So you''re in on it too, are you?
28617So? 28617 Suffocated?"
28617That he can bring a dead man to life?

28617Tommy Travers gone, eh? 28617 Understand?
28617Used to be a parson, you say? 28617 Was the warning written?"
28617Was this shadow opaque enough to even momentarily obscure your vision?
28617Well, how does it feel to be an ant?
28617What about Winston''s confession?
28617What advantage would there be in that?
28617What am I to do?
28617What are you going to tell them?
28617What are you setting up?
28617What are you trying to do, catechise me? 28617 What ca n''t be helped?"

28617Why should you come here? 28617 Why, what do you mean?"
28617Why, what''s the matter?

28617Well, what were the others doing, down there in the streets-- in their homes?
28617Were they windows?
28617What beastly thoughts could that-- that_ thing_ conceive?"

29607Hold on, Riley, what are you talking about?
29607How about making him release Handlon''s-- what d''ye call it?--astral-- from Perry''s body?
29607How can you expect to slay a mad creation that can leap through space, from world to world, like a wasp goes darting from flower to flower? 29607 How do you get into it?"
29607How do you like it, Skip?
29607How long ago was the wreck?

29607I wonder,he added,"where Stanton is?
29607In God''s name, Mercer, what is it? 29607 Is Fragoni going?"
29607Is he sharpening his teeth on a rock preparatory to another attack upon us? 29607 Is he?
29607Is it going to be treating Handlon right to de- astralize him now? 29607 Is it necessary?
29607Is it?
29607Is the old party croaked yet? 29607 Is there any possible defense against it, Steinholt?"
29607Is there any power line passing within twenty miles of here?
29607Is there something else, sir?

29607Venza, where did the prowler run to? 29607 Very well-- but you will talk?
29607Was it from in there? 29607 Was it the Prince girl?
29607Was n''t it sealed?
29607We did, did n''t we? 29607 We will find out about it soon enough,"he added,"so why worry about it in the meantime?"
29607Well?

29607What about it, men?
29607What are you doing with that?

29607What could cause such a low temperature, Doctor?
29607What did he shoot me with?
29607What did you find out about the cause of the wreck, Doctor?
29607What do they intend to do? 29607 What do you make of it?"
29607What do you make of that thing, Vanderpool?
29607What do you mean? 29607 What do you mean?"
29607What do you say, people?

29607Who was it? 29607 Who was that?"
29607Why do you look so furtive?
29607Why do you say that?
29607Why, by God, where is he? 29607 Why-- why am I here-- in Fragoni''s?
29607Will you help us, Captain Carter? 29607 Would n''t that be enough to clear Skip?
29607Yes,I said,"is n''t it?"
29607Yes? 29607 Yield?
29607You dare to invade my grounds and disturb me at my labors for such a reason? 29607 You did n''t think we had anything easy, did you?"
29607You have n''t been opening any treasury vaults, have you, Gregg?
29607You have n''t mentioned it, have you?
29607You think he overheard Grantline''s message?
29607You wha- a- t?
29607You''re not in love, by any chance, and bringing me down here like this merely to back up your own opinion of them eyes and them lips, Mercer?
29607You''re sure? 29607 You''ve heard of the Federated Radium Motor?"
29607You''ve seen George Prince, Gregg?
29607You, Haljan?
29607''Some may have gone back?''
29607***** He added vehemently,"Do you understand now why we should be suspicious of this George Prince?
29607***** Was the air in the laboratory getting unbearably close?
29607***** What was that?
29607*****"And are they-- the Lodorians-- still here?"
29607*****"Webbed?"
29607*****"What are your plans?"
29607*****"What do you mean?"
29607*****"What is it?"
29607*****"What time is it now?"
29607*****"Why not await developments?"
29607A chance word, with you lads befuddled by alcolite?"
29607A plot to seize the Planetara?
29607A terrific force was emanating from that devilish globe above him, drawing him out of himself-- or-- no-- was he expanding?
29607And I added seriously,"You do n''t answer my question?
29607And Rankin:"But can we trust them?
29607And saying:"But Miss Prince, why are you and your brother going to Ferrok- Shahn?
29607And the Professor... he was getting farther and farther away... that perfecto... or was it an El Cabbajo?
29607And the purser acting innocent?
29607And then I heard Coniston:"See here, why would not a hundred pounds of gold- leaf tempt you?
29607And what was the excitement you were in just before breakfast this morning?"
29607And when a police ship sights us, what will you do then?"
29607And who is this George Prince, anyway?"
29607And worse: How had he dared open Snap''s box in the helio- room and abstract the code pass- words for this voyage?
29607Any report to make?"
29607Are you a servant here?
29607Besides, would n''t it be possible for us to lead a jury out here and duplicate the experiment?"
29607Big, handsome fellow, is n''t he?
29607But was he?
29607But was it?
29607But what happened to me?
29607But what was Johnson doing carrying a plan of the ship''s control rooms in his pockets?
29607But when?
29607But who can say that Teuxical ever will return here again?
29607But why?
29607By God, this murderer, whoever he is--"I stammered,"If-- if she dies-- will you flash us word?"
29607By the stars, what else?
29607By whom?
29607CHAPTER IX_ The Murder in A 22_"Good God, what was that?"
29607Can you get him to keep his mouth shut?"
29607Can you suggest anything better?"
29607Can you tell us?"
29607Captain Carter added abruptly,"We''re insulated here, Halsey?"
29607Captain Carter went on,"I know I can trust you two more than anyone else under me on the Planetara--""What do you mean by that?"
29607Carnes, is your case completed?"
29607Come just as you are, and--"*****"What''s the matter?"
29607Confound it all... that cigar... where was it?...
29607Could he have the ore insulated, fearing its Gamma rays would betray its presence to hostile watchers?
29607Could it be he had purposely raised the other''s hopes in order to chaff him some more?
29607Could the Professor produce it?
29607Could the old villain be playing possum?
29607Did you do that, Prince?
29607Did you ever see a man''s body broken in pieces?"
29607Did you have Prince''s cabin searched?"
29607Did you hear anything?"
29607Did you know that?"
29607Did you know that?"
29607Did you, or did you not meet George Prince and that Martian last night?"
29607Do n''t you?
29607Do you know I just got kicked by a poll parrot?
29607Do you realize it will soon be dark?"
29607Do you understand, Gaeble?"
29607Do you understand?"
29607Does he know anything about this Grantline affair?"
29607Eh?"
29607Ever hear of him?"
29607Finally Bland could wait no longer, but fixed a terrible eye on the murderer and demanded harshly,"Where''s Handlon?"
29607For the Earth?
29607Get me?"
29607Get me?"
29607Gregg Haljan-- is this a truce?
29607Gregg, dear...."Why, what was this?
29607Had George Prince been in his own room when the attack came?
29607Had Johnson been planning to sell those pass- words to Miko?
29607Had he been watching me?
29607Had the reporter gone insane too?
29607Halsey''s words:"Things are not always what they seem--"Were these passengers masqueraders?
29607He and the Englishman do n''t mesh very well, do they?"
29607Heat- ray?
29607His voice sounded:"Gregg Haljan, do you yield?"
29607How long had they been under the influence of the lethal stuff?
29607Hurt?"
29607I demanded abruptly,"What did your brother want to talk to me about?"
29607I guess it''s the old gag about diet, eh?"
29607I heard Sir Arthur Coniston:"I say, what was that?"
29607I presume that you saw that it was a catenary curve?"
29607I said,"What sort of a contract?"
29607I would not question you--""Is that all you have to say?"
29607I-- er-- that is-- you see--""Where''s Handlon?
29607If he is hurt-- killed--"So that was why Miko had tried to capture me?
29607If it were not for your knowledge of radium ores--""Is this to be a personal wrangle?"
29607Is everything clear?"
29607Is it criminal?
29607Is my apparatus in good shape outside?"
29607Is the door sealed?
29607Is there any chance of following that trail?"
29607It was after eleven by the ship''s clock on the mantel, and if--"Taylor?"
29607Mercer?
29607Moa said,"Does Rankin understand that no harm is to come to Gregg Haljan?"
29607Not George Prince?
29607Not headed for the moon?
29607Not pressure- sick, I hope?"
29607Not= pressure- sick=, I hope?)
29607Now?
29607Oh, is that you, Balch?
29607On a night like this?"
29607Or might disaster have come to him?
29607Or the Moon?
29607Or was he a very clever scoundrel, with irony lurking in his soft voice, and a chuckle that he could so befool me?
29607Or was his smile an ironical memory of how he had eluded me this morning when I chased him?
29607Or was it because he was Anita''s brother?
29607Or was the queer leaden feeling that had taken possession of Perry''s lungs but an indication of his overpowering weariness?
29607Or-- What the deuce_ is_ he doing?"
29607Out of the silence, Balch demanded,"Well, what about it, Johnson?"
29607Porcelain?"
29607Presently the eyelids fluttered open and a feeble voice asked,"Where the deuce am I, and how did all you guys get here?"
29607Put here by George Prince?
29607Rankin said calmly:"Where is the little Venus girl this meal?"
29607Remember?
29607See?"
29607Shall I notify him of the conclave?"
29607Shall we argue about it?"
29607Shall we carry on?"
29607She added,"Why should George Prince be sneaking around with you after him?
29607Should he follow Kell and his burden, or should he not take advantage of this fine opportunity to continue his search of the upper story?
29607Snap demanded,"What in the stars has this got to do with Johnny Grantline?"
29607Something wrong?"
29607That you think she can give us?"
29607The code- words which were taken from Johnson-- I mean to say, why not tell us where they are?"
29607The stewards-- the crew?"
29607The surgeon said,"Can you speak now, Gregg?"
29607Then I said upon impulse,"Suppose we go down to the deck, Doctor?"
29607This fire- writing does not really hurt?
29607Understand?"
29607Vanderpool?"
29607Was Anita afraid of this Martian''s wooing?
29607Was George Prince in there?
29607Was Miko''s room insulated?
29607Was he captured-- or still holding them off?
29607Was it Perry speaking, or was it Skip Handlon?
29607Was it that?
29607Was my accursed masculine beauty so attractive to this Martian girl?
29607Was she sorry she had said that?
29607Was that why Miko had struck me down, and was carrying me off?
29607Was the Kell returning?
29607Was the simple photographer so completely at ease that he had at length forsaken all thought of possible danger?
29607Was this the mysterious Martian who had followed us from Halsey''s office?
29607Were all these people aware of Grantline''s treasure on the moon?
29607Were they about to be led into a trap?
29607Were they planning to try and seize the Planetara?
29607What about those packets that were on the plane?"
29607What are they?"
29607What can I do?"
29607What could anyone do?
29607What do you suppose it would pay for a few tons of really rich radio- active ore-- such as Grantline may have found on the Moon?"
29607What had you been drinking?"
29607What happened to you?
29607What have you got?
29607What is a thermocouple?"
29607What is it you want to say?"
29607What say?"
29607What takes you to Mars?"
29607What was Kell''s real object in giving them those drugged cigars?
29607What was he sitting there for, anyway, at that hour of the morning?"
29607What was it?
29607What was that?"
29607What was the old archfiend doing to him anyhow?...
29607What was there to plan?
29607What would anyone dare do?
29607Whatever you learn-- anything you encounter which looks unusual-- will you tell me?
29607When would the Chief finish and let him escape from the office?
29607Where are you, Frank?
29607Where are you, anyway?"
29607Where is father?
29607Where was Handlon?
29607Where was Miko?
29607Where''s Carter?"
29607Where''s the hay, Horace?
29607Where_ was_ Handlon''s body?
29607Who am I to write of it, with all the poets of all the ages striving to express the unexpressible?
29607Who is he?"
29607Who the devil are you?"
29607Whose voice was that?
29607Why did Handlon grin in that idiotic manner?
29607Why do n''t you go get him?
29607Why had the room suddenly taken on so hazy an aspect?
29607Why not?
29607Why should I not say it?
29607Why was he laughing and leering at them so horribly?...
29607Why?
29607Why?
29607Wild- eyed, chasing a phantom--""You?"
29607Will you come?"
29607Will you?"
29607Would he be in time?
29607Would it be as clear to the girl?
29607Would it not be the wiser to eliminate all traces of to- night''s happenings?
29607Would the speed of condensation of the atoms which comprised the body of Professor Kell serve to shut out the pursuing astral of Kell?
29607Would they show signs of pity?
29607Would you rouse him again after the way he treated us with that gun?
29607Yes-- shall we go there?
29607Yet held to him by some power he might have over her brother?
29607You are familiar with a searchlight, are you not?"
29607You caused us a lot of trouble, did n''t you?
29607You did n''t know that, Rankin?
29607You have-- how many is it, Carter?--thirty or forty passengers this trip to- night?"
29607You know that?
29607You know that?
29607You mean changing their money?
29607You said, Sir Arthur?...
29607You saw me?"
29607You saw that look, Gregg?
29607You seem to feel it was George Prince?"
29607You understand that, do you not?"
29607You understand?"
29607You will not shoot?"
29607You will, Mercer-- you will return her to the sea?"
29607Your duties on the Planetara leave you comparatively free, do n''t they?"
29390All is well, Gregg Haljan?
29390All right, Anita?
29390All safe, Gregg?
29390An error? 29390 And Dr. Frank, Anita?"
29390And all the time the windows have been of fused quartz?
29390And armed? 29390 Are they checked?"
29390Are we going to maroon Dr. Frank with the passengers?
29390Are you all right, darling?
29390Are you familiar with spectroscopy, Admiral?
29390Are you hungry, Haljan?
29390Are you ready?
29390Are you sure, Carnes?
29390Are you sure?
29390Believe that once a man''s heart is stilled it''s stopped for good, eh? 29390 But did you?"
29390But what do you expect? 29390 But what would my superiors in the Government Bureau think?"
29390But where are we going?
29390But where is Miko?
29390But,she began faintly,"how can this mad experiment have anything to do with saving my boy?"
29390But-- but what is the matter?
29390Can not you finish the experiment, Allen? 29390 Can we stop there?"
29390Can you find landing space, Gregg?
29390Can you see me?
29390Can you send, Peter?
29390Can you-- check us? 29390 Carnes, did you ever see a case of snow blindness?"
29390Did you arrange for that plane?
29390Did you ever think of that, Moa? 29390 Did you mark the pane of glass through which you flashed your light last night, Bolton?"
29390Did you offer us choice of surrender? 29390 Did you think George Prince was a leader of this?
29390Did you think I wanted you with my dying breath? 29390 Do you not understand?
29390Do you suppose the poor chap has a-- a-- broken heart, or something like that? 29390 Do you think so?"
29390Do you think that some exterior force is causing the President''s disability?
29390Do-- do you mean it? 29390 Do-- do you mean you can bring Allen from the prison here-- just by throwing those switches?"
29390Even...?
29390Falling? 29390 Falling?"
29390Grantline? 29390 Have I forgotten, did I do anything wrong?"
29390Have we stopped swinging?
29390Have you ever seen a finer one?
29390Have you tried to connect this opthalmia with his mental aberrations?
29390Hello, Doctor,exclaimed the Chief,"what the dickens have you got on your mind now?
29390How are they doing it?
29390How are you?
29390How did he get out of here? 29390 How do you know what course to follow?"
29390How do you know? 29390 How do you people control your being, as you express it?"
29390How does he act in the daytime?
29390How far away, Peter?
29390How should I know, Miko? 29390 How should I know?"
29390I mean to say, where to on the Moon? 29390 I presume that the President always sleeps with his head in this direction?"
29390I say, we are not so bad as navigators, are we? 29390 I think you will cause no more trouble, Gregg?"
29390I was thinking, Moa, when we land at the Moon to- morrow-- where is our equipment?
29390If our treasure is on this hemisphere, Prince, we should pick up Gamma rays? 29390 If you are what you say you are, how did you get here?"
29390In other words, it is acting like sunburn?
29390In war, too?
29390Insects as big as horses?
29390Is he dead, Olmstead?
29390Is he inside the room, Anita?
29390Is he worse?
29390Is it? 29390 Is that all?"
29390Is that his name?
29390Is that reason why we should not love?
29390It''s a beautiful moon, is n''t it?
29390Low scale, Peter?
29390Moa, did it ever occur to you, if once you and Miko trusted me-- which you don''t-- I might show more interest in joining you?
29390Moa, where is Snap? 29390 Nothing?
29390Nothing?
29390Oh, ye wud, wud yer, little mann?
29390On such a subject as this you''re entitled to_ know_, are you? 29390 Only one, Anita?"
29390Overwork?
29390Pardon me a moment, Doctor,interrupted the Admiral,"but may I ask what is your connection with the matter?
29390Prince?
29390Professor,he wrote feverishly,"can you reverse the process used in your Vibration- Retarder?
29390Ready, Haljan?
29390Shall I accompany you?
29390Shall I try the''graphs, Miko?
29390Snap? 29390 So that is it?"
29390So you do n''t believe a man can come back from the grave, eh?
29390So you think it amusing?
29390So, Gregg Haljan? 29390 So, Haljan-- she put some sense into your head?
29390Something here? 29390 Surely you''re not going out a night like this?
29390Talc?
29390Talk about him? 29390 That black- whiskered sphinx, Hammersly, will he be there?"
29390That gentleman, milady?
29390That the turret?
29390The same interval, Snap?
29390Then Stokowsky had isolated Von Beyer''s new element?
29390Then you_ have_ studied the moon?
29390This treasure on the Moon-- did you say it was on the Moon?
29390To what destination?
29390Wan side, is it?
29390Well, boys,he asked lightly,"what do you think of that?"
29390Well, gentlemen, are you satisfied that resistance is futile?
29390Well, how did he get out?
29390Well, why do n''t you tell me?
29390Well?
29390What are you doing-- pulling my leg?
29390What do you mean, Doctor?
29390What do you suppose it could be, Jerry boy?
29390What do you think of Von Beyer''s alleged discovery?
29390What do you want me to do?
29390What happened?
29390What information did you wish, Doctor?
29390What is it, Allen?
29390What is it, Williams?
29390What is there in the room?
29390What on earth is it?
29390What other wild animals or harmful insects have you on this planet?
29390What word, Brady?
29390What''s happened? 29390 What-- what are you doing now?"
29390What? 29390 When did he start to sleep there?"
29390Where are they?
29390Where are your Gamma ray mirrors? 29390 Where do you think these insect invaders came from?"
29390Where is Admiral Clay?
29390Where is Miko, Ellis?
29390Where is Miko?
29390Where is Snap?
29390Where is he? 29390 Where is the operator?"
29390Where is your detail?
29390Where will it join us?
29390Which way do you think?
29390Who th''divil arre yer?
29390Who, Snap?
29390Why men and women?
29390Why not the moon? 29390 Why not?"
29390Why should I not? 29390 Why,"he asked rather hesitatingly,"did the people of Venus always remain so small?
29390Why? 29390 Why?"
29390Women?
29390Wonder who wrote it?
29390Would a zed- ray penetrate those crater- cliffs? 29390 Would you like to have our chef prepare them for you?"
29390You are going?
29390You are seeking a natural enemy to this deadly flying menace, are you not?
29390You armed?
29390You called for winged volunteers, did you not, Kleig?
29390You dare?
29390You got it?
29390You take command here?
29390You think he may be on the Northern inner side of Tycho?
29390You think the ship is coming?
29390You think you love someone else? 29390 You want a true course now to the asteroid?"
29390You want me to fear you?
29390You will land us safely, Haljan?
29390You''re sure of that?
29390You, please-- you will help us? 29390 You-- you will let me be with you?"
29390_ Grantline?_And the answer came.
29390''Oh, you''re one of_ those_ guys, are you?''
29390***** But how far?
29390***** Would Professor Burr be able to save Allen as he claimed?
29390*****"What are the symptoms?"
29390A girl somewhere who jilted him?
29390A premonition?
29390A suicide?
29390After the Governor has refused me?
29390Am I-- a girl descended from the Martian flame- workers-- impotent now to awaken a man?"
29390An abnormality upon the frowning ragged cliffs of Tycho?
29390And now may I return to the subject of the vampires of Venus?"
29390And some arrangement for my share of this treasure?
29390And the other ship-- how fast is it?"
29390And what had drowned out the voice of the radio- reporter?
29390And where was Coniston, down in this broken hull?
29390Are they still there?"
29390Are we checked?"
29390Are you ready, Gregg?"
29390Astounding Stories looks all right, but may I make a suggestions?
29390Bolton, have you ever seen a finer moon?
29390But I wonder what is eating him?"
29390But how, in all this Lunar desolation, could we hope to locate them?
29390But these passengers-- what preparation are you making for them on the asteroid?"
29390But to what advantage?
29390But to what purpose?
29390But what did it portend?
29390But why?
29390But why?
29390But you say he claims to have found the correct alloys?"
29390But_ was_ it secret?
29390By the Almighty, Moa, are you up there?
29390CHAPTER I_ The Hand of Moyen._"Who is that man?"
29390Ca n''t you change the two bodies now?"
29390Can you get me into the White House to- night?"
29390Can you save him?
29390Can you tell me with what type of glass it is equipped?"
29390Could I make her talk of that other brigand ship which Miko had said was waiting on Mars?
29390Could Miko be fooled?
29390Dead?
29390Did he love Anita Prince?
29390Did n''t you hear what I called you?
29390Did the eyes of Moyen gaze even into the depths of the Secret Room, hundreds of feet below even the documentary- treasure vaults of the Capitol?
29390Did you spare the lives of our people which, with your control of your golden rays, you could easily have done?
29390Do n''t you suppose I''m interested?"
29390Do n''t you think so, Jerry?"
29390Do n''t you think so?
29390Do n''t you understand?
29390Do n''t you understand?
29390Do n''t you understand?"
29390Do you believe it?"
29390Do you believe me?"
29390Do you not understand, can you not comprehend, also, that the man Smith was a martyr to science?
29390Do you recognize the lines?"
29390Do you see?
29390Do you think, when I am deadly serious, that I mean what I say?"
29390Do you understand?"
29390Does everybody understand?"
29390Does he speak at all, Jerry?"
29390Drop me off there, will you?"
29390Dying?
29390Executing my signals?"
29390Five hundred years?"
29390Get a life belt, will you?"
29390Grantline''s party?
29390Gregg Haljan?"
29390Gregg, why are you so foolish?"
29390Had I failed my cue?
29390Had Venza failed in her unknown purpose?
29390Had her mind, in the excitement, betrayed her?
29390Had she and Dr. Frank, perhaps, some last minute desperate purposes?
29390Haljan, what''s happened?"
29390Haljan, will you verify these figures?"
29390Hate?
29390Have n''t several elements been first discovered in the spectra of stars?"
29390Have n''t you ever had time to study the history of the moon- worshipping cults?
29390Have you a flashlight?"
29390Have you ever heard that man say anything yet?
29390Have you no answer?"
29390He does not drink, gamble....""And women?"
29390He had mentioned madness: was he, Professor Ramsey Burr, crazy?
29390His thoughts took a strange turn:"Why do these vain people go around dressed in jeweled ornaments?"
29390How close were some of these to the United States?
29390How could it be the_ Planetara_?
29390How could she get the authorities to consent to her son having the suit?
29390How did the intervening days pass?
29390How did you manage it?"
29390How do you like your new assignment?"
29390How much technical knowledge of signaling instruments did this brigand leader have?
29390How much will you sell me your body for?''
29390How skilled at mathematics were these brigands?
29390How?"
29390I added,"Shall we go?"
29390I felt a thrill of instinctive fear-- would she plunge that knife into me?
29390I heard Moa mutter:"So that is it?"
29390I said,"Shall I make the exposure?"
29390I suppose that you fellows are pretty busy getting ready for Premier McDougal''s visit?"
29390I thought,"Is Snap concerned with this?"
29390I wonder if I could subscribe to Astounding Stories?
29390I wonder...."Was it an omen of the future for the West?
29390In his hand he gripped a small segment of black fabric, a piece torn from an invisible cloak?
29390Is it not so?
29390Is that it?"
29390Is that so?"
29390Is that what you''re remembering, Gregg Haljan?"
29390Is there anything remarkable about that?
29390Is there?"
29390It struck me-- could I turn that confusion to account?
29390Johnny Grantline?"
29390Just think of that being loose, will you?
29390Killed by something?
29390Long range projectors?"
29390Love?
29390Maybe you''ve been--?"
29390Miko, Hahn, Coniston-- could I fool them?
29390Moyen?
29390My cue?
29390Near the crater of Archimedes?
29390Need more be said?
29390No more trouble?
29390Not George Prince?
29390Not bad at all, eh?"
29390Not to encounter Grantline at once, Miko?
29390Or a suicide?
29390Or is Grantline so cautious it will all be protected?"
29390Or was it an hour?
29390Or was it?
29390Or, since now I was armed, why could I not boldly start an assault?
29390Our first night out from the Earth-- Grantline''s signals-- didn''t it ever occur to you that I might have some figures on his treasure?"
29390Perhaps you think you are clever?
29390Phwat th''divil arre yer doin''in th''house uv a rayspictable female at this hour uv th''marnin''?"
29390Professor, will you kindly range the ocean, beginning at once, and see how many of these monsters of Moyen we have to contend with?"
29390Remember we were arguin''it last week?
29390Saved?
29390Shall I call him?"
29390Shall we go closer, Haljan?"
29390Should I be?"
29390So, Anita, you were masquerading to spy upon me?
29390Suppose something went wrong, and the exchange did not take place, and her son, that is, his spirit, went back to the death house?
29390Suppose you let me have a talk with Prince?
29390Taking her chance for rescue with Dr. Frank, Venza and the others?
29390Tell me with your eyes, for Moyen may even know this writing, and I am sure he hears what we say here, may even be able to see us?"
29390That airplane of the slanted wings, the bulbous, almost bulletlike fuselage, what of it?
29390That sounds wild, does n''t it?
29390The brigand menace past?
29390The other question is this: has he any form of skin trouble?"
29390The sinking occurred at ten- thirty last evening you say, Kleig?
29390Then why are you cold under my touch?
29390To what purpose?
29390Tycho, for instance, at this angle?
29390Tycho, viewed from there--""And take another quarter- day of time?"
29390Venza here, dying?
29390Venza here?
29390Was I invisible in this light?
29390Was it nonsense, this idea of transporting bodies through the air, in invisible waves?
29390Was it?
29390Was that it?"
29390Were her eyes going back on her?
29390Were we going toward the Grantline camp?
29390Were we not indeed fatuous fools?
29390What am I to do besides this?"
29390What can you do?
29390What could we dare attempt to do?
29390What could we do?
29390What do his eyes look like?"
29390What do you suspect?"
29390What do you want with my body?''
29390What does Prester Kleig think of this man?
29390What else can one say about him?
29390What excuse shall I give?
29390What ghastly terrors of Moyen roamed the deeps of the Atlantic, of the Pacific, the oceans of the world?
29390What had happened to Hahn?
29390What happened?"
29390What if Burr were mad?
29390What is this?"
29390What is wrong?
29390What more was there to be said?
29390What was it Grantline said?
29390What was this?
29390When I had lashed him as fiercely as I was able I cried:"Why do n''t you come at me?
29390When do you figure she''ll be back here, and signal us?"
29390When was this mental disability on the part of the President first noticed?"
29390Where are we going?"
29390Where had he last thought of those two words?
29390Where is Miko?
29390Where is she?
29390Where is that ass Coniston?
29390Where was Anita?
29390Where, for instance, is Grantline located?"
29390Which building do you think it is, Bolton?"
29390Which way?
29390Who will follow me against these people?"
29390Who''s winning there?
29390Why did you not strive more for height?
29390Why had I not contrived to have Anita desert at the asteroid?
29390Why had Moyen bidden them turn their attention to these shells of erstwhile naval grandeur?
29390Why not increase the size of the magazine to that of Miss 1900 or Forest and Stream?
29390Why should I not?
29390Why?
29390Why?
29390Will you come over, Commander?"
29390Will you face the dangers of a trip to Venus and use your knowledge to aid us in exterminating these creatures of hell?"
29390Will you let me know?
29390Will you take the controls?"
29390Will you tell me why you make this particular suggestion?"
29390With his last frenzy determined to kill us all?
29390With what recent catastrophe were they associated?
29390Wonder if there could be anything to it?"
29390Wonder where he got the Frying Pan idea?
29390Would he tell me that?
29390Would it be possible, now at the last moment, to attack these brigands?
29390Would it not have been far better for her there?
29390Would she be successful?
29390Would she come back?
29390Would she tell me?
29390Would some Earth telescope be able to see us?
29390Would some Earth- station pick it up?
29390Would the American flyers be able to hold off the minions of Moyen until Maniel was ready?
29390Would they see our tiny waving headlights?
29390Would we find him lying dead?
29390Would wonders never cease?
29390You blame me, Haljan, for the killing of Captain Carter?
29390You do n''t believe it?"
29390You do n''t mind staying down?
29390You do not wish me to write my name upon your chest?
29390You have the suit, the cups and the director coil?
29390You know that when light is reflected the angle of reflection always equals the angle of incidence?
29390You say he gave you the code- words we took from Johnson?"
29390You think I do not know what is on your mind, Haljan?
29390You understand?
29390You understand?"
29390You visit your son daily at the death house, do you not?"
29390You will give them apparatus with which to signal?"
29390You''re Haljan?
29390You''re all right?
29390You''ve never seen me miss a Saturday night yet, have you now?"
29390You, Dean?_"Their personal code.
29390You_ know_, do you?"
29390Your figures gave that, did they not, Gregg?"
29919''Are not two prayers a perfect strength?''
29919A grave danger?
29919A voice, was it?
29919Afraid of what?
29919All ready, Kay?
29919And what could he do, unless it''s my liver?
29919And you, sir? 29919 And,"he asked;"if they attack-- what then?
29919Any markings?
29919Any new dots and dashes? 29919 Anything to identify it?"
29919Because if we are trapped and caught, of what use is the price we might have gotten? 29919 But is n''t there any help for it?"
29919But the_ Nomad?_he asked.
29919But what? 29919 But why the wild interest in this particular doctor?"
29919But you did see that flash?
29919But-- the quills?
29919Ca n''t you trust me?
29919Carr,the girl whispered, after a time,"where are we going?"
29919Cliff, you''re not badly hurt?
29919Cliff, you''re not hurt?
29919Clouds?
29919Could that flash have been a signal?
29919Did I? 29919 Did n''t he''sic us on''neatly?
29919Did they get you, old man?
29919Did you hear that?
29919Did you see it?
29919Did you see it?
29919Do n''t you know you''ve done a miraculous thing? 29919 Do n''t you remember?
29919Do you know that you are turning a delicate and beautiful romance into a lascivious libel on the human race?
29919Does he know it''s me?
29919Dr. Friedrich von Stein?
29919Find it?
29919Glad you came?
29919Glimpsed the surface?--an island?
29919Hanley''s office?
29919Hello, Lieutenant-- the enemy ship-- where is it now?
29919Hello, old sock,he said,"had a bad dream?"
29919His guards-- the fleet-- what''s happened?
29919How about me?
29919How about yourself?
29919How can there be a sea out there in space?
29919How could you?
29919How do you suppose we''ll make ourselves understood to the people of Europa?
29919How in time are we to find this city of golden domes?
29919How long have we got, Kay?
29919How, Carr?
29919I insisted upon you and Hans-- Gutierrez, what is that?
29919If he is in?
29919Is Venus Signalling?
29919Is he--?
29919Is it so,_ Niña_? 29919 Is it-- some one else?"
29919Is she-- are we safe?
29919Is that it?
29919Is that part of the treatment?
29919It is Mr. and Mrs. Parker, I believe? 29919 Just what?"
29919Lay your foul hands on Ora, will you? 29919 Like your job?"
29919Lyman? 29919 Made plenty of money yourself, did n''t you, Carr?"
29919Many of them?
29919May we see Dr. von Stein?
29919Me? 29919 Meaning--?"
29919My boy,he said,"did you do these?"
29919No internal gravity mechanism on the_ Nomad_?
29919No kick, eh? 29919 Not so bad, Hans?
29919Not the people of Europa?
29919Now why did n''t you tell me that before? 29919 Now would n''t that jar you?"
29919Now, how about it?
29919Oh, are you awake?
29919Oh, is that so?
29919Proctor? 29919 Quite a shop,"he admitted;"but where is the telescope?"
29919Rapaju?
29919Rapaju?
29919Ready for bed?
29919Ready to go up and give merry hell to that other ship if she shows up?
29919Right now?
29919Say, if them Giants comes up here yuh know what us folks is going to do? 29919 See anything?"
29919Shall I cut him loose now from his chair, Commander?
29919So our efforts have been wasted, have they? 29919 So soon?
29919So you think,he said, when there was opportunity,"that you can help me, Dr. von Stein?"
29919Stand up, ca n''t you?
29919Still defiant, eh? 29919 Surely Miss Ora does not intend to come with us?"
29919Tell you? 29919 The Americano?"
29919The Wasp in sight?
29919The captive is safe? 29919 The chief plays with woman''s words, no?
29919They leave that soon?
29919Thinking of Cliff?
29919To-- to stay?
29919Von Stein?
29919Was it the commander, Gutierrez?
29919Was the planet communicating?
29919Well, what''s to prevent it?
29919Well?
29919Well?
29919Well?
29919Well?
29919What are you going to do?
29919What are you talking about?
29919What can I do for you?
29919What can we do with the_ Nomad_?
29919What do you mean by that?
29919What do you mean-- a proposition?
29919What do you think of this stuff?
29919What in thunder is that?
29919What is it, Carr?
29919What is it, sweetheart?
29919What is it?
29919What is that?
29919What is your plan?
29919What sort of a danger?
29919What sort of a reception do you suppose we''ll get?
29919What use would that be against the Earth Giants? 29919 What''s that?"
29919What''s that?
29919What''s this?
29919What''s wrong?
29919What? 29919 When did you first hear this?"
29919Where''ll we land, Detis?
29919Where''s that?
29919Where?
29919Who but the devil was the father of magic?
29919Who?
29919Why come here, with so much to be seen out there?
29919Why not go to see that new doctor?
29919Why not? 29919 Why not?"
29919Why,they asked,"should there be more unprovoked assaults from the people of another planet?
29919Why?
29919Will you give us time to talk it over and think about it?
29919Would I?
29919You all right?
29919You come from New York?
29919You have noticed that copper bowl?
29919You honestly believe them able to do this?
29919You knew that Cordelia Lyman died a short time ago, did n''t you?
29919You know what will happen, Heinrich?
29919You promise you will return me alive? 29919 You saw that bit about the new Chinese disintegrator?
29919You saw through?
29919You''ve been out-- how long?
29919You-- can you raise Great New York on the audiphone, Hendrick?
29919Your stock?
29919_ Comprenez vous Francaise?_..._ Non?_... German, perhaps, or Spanish?...
29919_ Comprenez vous Francaise?_..._ Non?_... German, perhaps, or Spanish?...
29919_ Comprenez vous Francaise?_..._ Non?_... German, perhaps, or Spanish?...
29919_ Sprecken sie Deutsche?__ Usted habla Española?_...He followed with a fusillade of questions in strange and varying tongues.
29919_ Sprecken sie Deutsche?__ Usted habla Española?_...He followed with a fusillade of questions in strange and varying tongues.
29919***** Fortunate for him that the meteor had not been completely covered by water, he thought-- but was it fortunate?
29919***** How many of them were there?
29919***** The logical thing to do, yes-- but how?
29919*****"Beats the rocket motors and bulky fuel of the regular liners a mile, does n''t it?
29919*****"There,"said Lieutenant McGuire,"--doesn''t that elevate your mind?
29919A vampire, if there is such a thing?
29919A witch?
29919All right with you?"
29919All right?"
29919Am I correct?"
29919And alone?"
29919And shall I feel afraid?"
29919And suppose you kill him-- won''t they track you just the same, Hendrick?"
29919And the enemy ship--?
29919And what''s the idea of the private ship?
29919And where do you keep it?
29919And who may say that man is free from the Venerian danger?
29919And why did not our own planes escape?...
29919And, as Ruth remained silent,"Ruth, it is n''t Cliff Hymes, is it?
29919Approaching footsteps?
29919Are the people of Venus trying to communicate?
29919Are we flying-- in the clouds?"
29919Are you game?"
29919Are you game?"
29919Are you, by chance, a psycho- analyst?
29919Both of you, I assume, know something of the radio?
29919But how about the fleet behind them?
29919But how come?
29919But since when are you a navigator, Mado?"
29919But suppose a wandering meteor or a tiny asteroid gets in the way?
29919But that is the more charming, eh?
29919But what agency had done this strange thing?
29919But what are you doing here?"
29919But what could be sweeter for use in one of our regular atomic motors?
29919But what do you mean-- make the fuel?"
29919But what''s wrong with you Carr?
29919But why not give a sequel about the other and more terrible creatures in the earth whom the madman spoke of?
29919But why?
29919But you will take me first to Cape Town, Hendrick?
29919But you will take your share of his ransom, wo n''t you?
29919But your father-- Mado?"
29919But, even if the magazine were enlarged and the price boosted to a quarter, do you really think that we get enough material to devour?
29919But-- but, how did you learn English?"
29919By damn, what is this?"
29919Call Hanley, eh?"
29919Calling you, Gutierrez?
29919Can it be done and still bar his instruments from locating us?"
29919Can you come here a moment, please?"
29919Carry you out through the cool reaches of interplanetary space?
29919Chah-- that would give him a start, would n''t it?
29919Clever of me, do n''t you think, to persuade Hendrick to take us to Cape Town?
29919Come all the way from home in it?"
29919Could I creep in there, surprise De Boer now, and kill him?
29919Could he use it?
29919Could it have meant in any way the launching of a projectile-- a ship-- to travel Earthward through space?"
29919Could that have been the flash of a-- a rocket?
29919De Boer was saying:"But why, Jetta, should I bother with your ideas?
29919Detis?
29919Did Hanley have an invisible flyer out there?
29919Did Mado intend to lead the fleet into the embrace of that dreadful monster they had so fortunately escaped?
29919Did he know he was mortally wounded?
29919Did n''t think I''d go, did you, you stupid old dear?"
29919Did that music have a meaning?
29919Did they have radio?
29919Did they wish only to learn the extent of our knowledge, our culture?
29919Do n''t you think so?"
29919Do you both follow me?"
29919Do you get enough air?"
29919Do you mean to say that someone could do this to me maliciously?"
29919Europa, Ora, Rapaju-- all of it?
29919Ever been on one of the asteroids?
29919Ever seen the Sargasso Sea of the solar system?
29919Ever seen the other side of the Moon-- Uranus-- Neptune-- Planet 9, the farthest out from the sun?"
29919Five feet ahead of me?
29919From Venus?
29919Get it?"
29919Great God, was she safe here?
29919Had De Boer gone into this solid blackness, to lure me?
29919Had they, too, found them suggestive of forts on the frontier of a world, defenses against invasion from out there?
29919Have n''t I promised?"
29919Have the Venusians penetrated their cloak of cloud masses with a visible light?
29919Have you ever heard of the world being saved by one man?
29919Have you, perhaps, an enemy?"
29919Heavy?"
29919Hendrick, listen--""Well, what?"
29919Hendrick-- why not?
29919How about it?
29919How could I have forgotten him?
29919How could I tell you?
29919How did you do it?
29919How did you guess?
29919How does it operate?
29919How far is it?"
29919How meet them?
29919How much more difficult would it be to force anything from him?
29919How shall we celebrate?"
29919How you''ve been and how come you''ve rebelled, too?
29919How''s that for simple?"
29919I had a hunch Ruth would draw one of those numbers...._ How long?_"The swaying masses of gray jelly were very near them.
29919I have no attraction?
29919I must adjust my explanation to-- what shall I say?
29919I wonder, did they mean to wipe him out or were they only scared off?"
29919I''d--""Why this sudden ardor, Kay?"
29919If he could navigate the_ Nomad_ himself, why did n''t he?
29919Is it possible for you to use a better and thinner grade of paper?
29919Is that clear?"
29919Is that satisfactory?"
29919Is their fire to be returned?"
29919Is there life there?
29919It attacked with gas, you say?...
29919Japan?
29919Jetta''s?
29919Just because you are bigger than I am--""Hear that, Jetta?
29919Man, do n''t you realize you''re free?
29919May I expect you?
29919May I reiterate one fact?
29919McGuire?...
29919Men?
29919Mind?"
29919Mr. Editor, do you remember way back when you said we should write in to you to tell you of the stories we want and that you would get them for us?
29919My hollow empty voice echoed back as I softly responded:"Yes?"
29919No trouble?"
29919No-- the commander calling?
29919Not hurt me?"
29919Not using a private space- flier on your business trips, are you?"
29919Now say: have you any suggestions on how I can safely ransom you?"
29919Now tell me: what in the devil have you got in your mind?"
29919Of what significance, of what portent-- who could tell?
29919Oh, the old lady down the street who left her money to found a home for aged spinsters?
29919Or did they know them for what they were?
29919Or ten?
29919Or that this valley was peopled with what could best be described as organized protoplasm?
29919Or twenty?
29919Or was it that the thing radiated energies unknown to science?
29919Parker?"
29919Red Russia?
29919Rescue?
29919Rocks?
29919Safest for us, eh, Hans?"
29919Saved my own, too, did n''t I?
29919See?
29919She walked close to him, holding his arm, and repeated softly:"Are not two prayers a perfect strength?
29919Should America sacrifice a hundred thousand of her boys and girls each year, when human life was cheap in China?
29919Some eruption, perhaps, this we have seen-- an ignition of gasses in the upper air-- who knows?
29919Take it off this infernally hot night?
29919Tell me that, wise one?"
29919Ten thousand?
29919That suit you?"
29919The Venerians had reproduced his knowledge in their brains; why would n''t it be possible for him to reverse the operation?
29919The huge enemy was approaching slowly: was it damaged?
29919The mass of that monstrosity must be terrific, else why had it such a power of attraction for other bodies?
29919Then what?
29919There are two of them, one loud and one faint-- right?"
29919They''ve taken the_ Nomad_?"
29919Thought he had cowed him, did he?
29919To the pilot he ordered:"Say nothing of this-- not a word-- get that?
29919To your knowledge of the higher reaches of scientific thought?"
29919True, he was alive now, thanks to the tiny island, but how long would he remain alive without food or water, and without hope of securing either?
29919Vagabonds need money?"
29919Want to go home?"
29919Wants you himself, does he?
29919Was Gutierrez guarding me here in the corridor?
29919Was it possible that anyone could like those drawings?
29919Was it possible that the psenium emanations would succeed where the Millikan rays, the W- ray had failed?
29919Was it?
29919Was it?
29919Was this death?
29919Was this the end of everything for us?
29919Was this war-- and with whom?
29919We have a hundred men now?
29919Well what?
29919Well, what of it?
29919Well, why not go?
29919Were there more to come?
29919Were they friendly, perhaps?--half- timid and fearful of what they might find?
29919Were those cities, those shadow- splashed areas of gray and rose?...
29919What about it?"
29919What are they looking for?
29919What are you figuring on doing with yourself?"
29919What better chance?
29919What did it mean?
29919What did it mean?
29919What did these new- comers think of them?
29919What difference would it make in half an hour?
29919What do you say?"
29919What do you think of her?"
29919What else was there to do?
29919What for?
29919What had Mado marked for his attention?
29919What had all this to do with Venus?
29919What had happened?
29919What had science to say?
29919What had that other world to gain?
29919What had they to gain?
29919What had this craft to do with the air?
29919What happened?
29919What in the name of Saturn did you do?"
29919What in the world made you think of that?"
29919What is it?
29919What is she?
29919What is this incredible thing you are planning?"
29919What is this mysterious power that enables organic forms to withstand the terrific bombardment of the W- ray?"
29919What is your plan?"
29919What is your trouble?"
29919What possible connection had these half- human things with that boyhood recollection?
29919What time is it?"
29919What was it?
29919What was their object?
29919What was to prevent his strapping this being into the high- backed chair to which he had been secured some time before?
29919What would we have done, if conditions had been reversed?"
29919What would you do to ransom him safely?"
29919What would you have?
29919What''s on your mind, Mac?"
29919When will Edmond Hamilton''s first story be published in Astounding Stories?
29919Where are we now and where bound?"
29919Where are we, Lieutenant McGuire?
29919Where is it-- the thing, I mean?"
29919Where was Mado?
29919Who can tell?
29919Who knows but what those inhuman Venerian brutes may even now be planning some new invasion, may be preparing to renew their attack upon Earth?
29919Who made it?
29919Who mans it?
29919Whoever-- whatever-- was sending that mysterious signal was coming near-- but was that nearness a matter of miles or of thousands of miles?
29919Why bother with the reversal?
29919Why could n''t he be sensible and companionable as they were?
29919Why could n''t they just continue on their way as they had started out?
29919Why could n''t you and Cliff make it destroy life?"
29919Why did he think of potatoes sprouting in a cellar?
29919Why do n''t they break through?"
29919Why do you suppose they are so tenacious of life, Cliff?"
29919Why had n''t he killed him?
29919Why is it that Europa has not been discovered before this; that it''s inhabited, I mean?"
29919Why not build your own Lowland Empire?
29919Why not cut the paper smooth, the way you do in Five Novels Monthly?
29919Why not gather a thousand?
29919Why not get a story by Edgar Rice Burroughs, and some more by Ray Cummings?
29919Why not have a page devoted to the authors?
29919Why not take Betty for a sea trip?
29919Why not, indeed?
29919Why not?"
29919Why not?"
29919Why should we be attacked?
29919Why, when the treasure divided so nicely among three, break it up to enrich a hundred?
29919Why, why did n''t I kill him?
29919Will it work, Cliff?
29919Will you come?"
29919Will you give us your opinion, your impressions?"
29919Wo n''t you?
29919Would Hanley be there?
29919Would I ever see her again?
29919Would Jetta and I succeed?
29919Would Jetta soon, very soon now, be able to do her part?
29919Would the machine work?
29919Would there be more?--could we meet them?--defeat them?
29919Would they send recognizable signals-- words-- or some mathematical sequence to prove their reality?
29919Would you care to?"
29919Yes, Lieutenant.... Over Mount Lawson?...
29919You and I are well matched, eh?"
29919You do care, do n''t you?"
29919You do n''t mean the president of the Pine Hills National Bank?"
29919You get all the breaks, do n''t you?"
29919You had best go back: De Boer, he might be jealous of us, no?
29919You hear it too?"
29919You''re sure you want to?"
29919You, Mr. Parker, and you, Madame, do you understand something of physics, of psychology, of metaphysics?"
29919he said in a thin voice, and he seemed to know now that they were in the air;"I wonder-- I wonder-- if we shall land-- what country?
29919they demanded one of another; would n''t another day do as well as this one?
23335Ah, but did he? 23335 Am I correct in saying that you would n''t have gone out there if you''d known Snookums was a robot?"
23335Am I interrupting something?
23335And are you the Prince Charming who woke me up?
23335And just how did you come across that information, Golden Wings?
23335And now?
23335And speaking of money, did n''t you come down here to buy something?
23335And that''s the purpose of a shakedown cruise?
23335And who would know more about teaching a child than a child psychologist?
23335And you''ve been working with Snookums since you were eighteen?
23335Any word from the_ Fireball_?
23335Anything new? 23335 Are my senses playing me false, or have you stopped that beat note?"
23335Are you doing something He does n''t want you to do? 23335 Are you going to let him?"
23335Are you sure it was n''t mechanical damage? 23335 As a power engineer, you should be acquainted with the''pinch effect,''eh?"
23335As evil- looking as Satanas himself?
23335At the same time?
23335Bart?
23335Black Bart?
23335Both of them?
23335Broken home and sibling rivalry? 23335 Busy?"
23335But what I want to know is: Why is it being built around a cryotronic brain, the like of which I have never heard before?
23335But why should he want to kill you here on the ship?
23335But would he have figured that out for himself?
23335But-- how did he get that idea?
23335But-- how do you know this is what Snookums was given?
23335But--"Do you know why?
23335But_ why_? 23335 Ca n''t we stop the ship and check them, so that we wo n''t be subjected to this?"
23335Can Snookums read English?
23335Can the presence of this drug be detected after death?
23335Can you dance?
23335Can you give me a prognosis?
23335Can you see that?
23335Can you understand?
23335Cream? 23335 Dead?"
23335Did he date much?
23335Did he have more than one bottle?
23335Did he, Mister Vaneski? 23335 Did you ever hear of Lysodine, Captain?"
23335Did you ever wonder if a robot had a soul, Mike?
23335Did you need help?
23335Did you see anything at all?
23335Do n''t you trust your own designing?
23335Do you have any idea what that knowledge might be?
23335Do you have any ideas?
23335Do you remember when we took Mellon to his quarters after he tried to brain von Liegnitz? 23335 Does Chief Pasteur know what killed him yet, Captain?"
23335Does a thing like that happen often?
23335Does it hurt you to have Him watch you?
23335Fix it so it would leak?
23335For eight years?
23335Games, children?
23335Happen to know why it does n''t work?
23335Harry?
23335Has n''t that triply bedamned rocket landed yet, Lieutenant? 23335 Have n''t we met, Commander?"
23335Have you been back in there yet?
23335Have you notified Treadmore yet?
23335He could read a book, then?
23335Hell, Wally, Serge Paulvitch is on the job down there, is n''t he? 23335 His own experiments?
23335How about Pete?
23335How about it, Jake?
23335How about men?
23335How about my soul?
23335How about the front?
23335How could you be so sure, Commander? 23335 How did he fall?
23335How did that happen?
23335How did you ever solve a three- tube beat in that short a time?
23335How do I get to him?
23335How do I know that someone else was involved?
23335How do you know?
23335How does his breath smell to you?
23335How does she look, Multhaus?
23335How is Mister Mellon?
23335How long have you been working with Snookums?
23335How many tubes were goofing?
23335How old are you, little boy?
23335How so?
23335How was I to know who you were?
23335How''s his pulse?
23335How''s she coming?
23335How''s the girl today?
23335How''s your shoulder?
23335I guess I''m disenchanted, huh, Mike?
23335I mean, was he a religious nut? 23335 I reckon you know you got competition, huh?"
23335I suppose the gadget at Miss What''s- her- name''s belt was an alarm to warn you of impending disaster?
23335I wonder if the so- called sociologists have any explanation for it?
23335If that''s the case,said Captain Quill,"why do n''t they just shut the thing off?"
23335Is n''t it Hell? 23335 Is n''t it?"
23335Is n''t there any other way?
23335Is that bad? 23335 Is that the information, the data, that makes Snookums so priceless, aside from his nucleonics work?"
23335Is there anything else, Sergeant?
23335It''s been quite a trip, has n''t it? 23335 Just because of his name?"
23335Just out of curiosity, what kind of a name is Keku?
23335Leda here?
23335Leda, if I''m right-- if this_ is_ what has been causing Snookums''odd behavior-- can you cure him?
23335Let me take a look at something, will you?
23335Lew?
23335Lieutenant, do you actually mean that you really do n''t know what''s going on here, or are you just dummying up?
23335Lieutenant,_ what_ is going on here? 23335 Like what?"
23335Look, lady,Mike said,"why do n''t you look up the number you want instead of bothering me?"
23335May I be so bold as to ask_ why_, Mister Gabriel?
23335May I borrow these three books?
23335May I help you?
23335May I talk to him?
23335Me? 23335 Me?
23335Mike,said Pete Jeffers,"why would anybody here want to kill Lew thataway?
23335Mike-- did he really hit you? 23335 Mister Gabriel?"
23335Mister von Liegnitz,said Captain Quill,"will you and Mister Keku take the prisoner to a safe place?
23335My final inspection?
23335None of your equipment registered anything?
23335Now just what was_ that_ all about?
23335Of all the times to have to come to Antarctica,he grumped as the door of the rocket opened,"why did I have to get July?"
23335Reaction? 23335 Ready for your ride?"
23335Remember,he asked,"the story of the Sleeping Beauty?
23335Rough family, eh?
23335Satisfaction?
23335See anything else, Multhaus?
23335Sir Gay? 23335 Sit down, wo n''t you?"
23335Smell that?
23335Snookums?
23335So what? 23335 So?"
23335Something busted? 23335 Sounds Oriental, does n''t it?"
23335Such as?
23335Sure you wo n''t have a mite? 23335 Tell me, Vaneski, are you in love with your half sister?
23335That accident you were talking about, Sergeant-- the one that made those vibroblades blow, remember? 23335 That brain in Cargo Hold One is cargo, is n''t it?"
23335That machine I saw is actually a remote- control tool, is n''t it? 23335 That''s it; did you go there?"
23335That''s the one under the Cesare Alfieri Institute in Florence?
23335That''s what you''ve been working on with Snookums?
23335That''s where an archangel takes the form of a human being and travels around with Tobit the Younger, remember? 23335 The glass broke first?"
23335The question that has bothered me from the beginning has been: Exactly what killed Lieutenant Mellon? 23335 Then what happened?"
23335These illustrations are analogues of the human mind?
23335They?
23335Think we can go in there now? 23335 This the guy, Miss Crannon?"
23335Timmins Building, eh? 23335 Wally, tell me-- what in the hell is going on down there at Chilblains Base?"
23335Want to bet?
23335Well, how did you mean that?
23335Well, then,the roboticist continued,"if a mechanism is capable of learning, how do you keep it from becoming dangerous or destroying itself?
23335Well, what happens to this base now, Doctor?
23335What about Lew Mellon?
23335What about Lieutenant Mellon''s peculiar actions? 23335 What about the synthecells they''re making at Boston Med?"
23335What are you going to do about the apartment?
23335What are you here for?
23335What are you scared of?
23335What are you talking about, Mister Gabriel?
23335What are you talking about?
23335What can I do for you, Captain?
23335What could that be?
23335What data, Snookums?
23335What did I find out?
23335What did he do to it?
23335What did you do today, honey?
23335What do I mean? 23335 What do you intend to do about it?"
23335What do you mean, sir?
23335What do you mean? 23335 What do you mean?"
23335What do you think, Commander?
23335What do you think, Mister Mellon?
23335What good will it do you to watch Him?
23335What happened after he came out of the closet?
23335What happened to him?
23335What happened, Pete?
23335What happened?
23335What happened?
23335What happened?
23335What happened?
23335What happened?
23335What has happened to Snookums?
23335What if there was absolutely no way for Snookums to experiment with this knowledge? 23335 What in the bloody blazes happened last night?"
23335What is it you want?
23335What is it?
23335What makes it necessary for you to circumvent God?
23335What makes you think it was a JD?
23335What size?
23335What sort of theory?
23335What the hell do you suppose was eating him?
23335What the hell else can I do but woo and win the wench?
23335What the hell happened here?
23335What the hell''s the matter with you, anyway?
23335What the hell?
23335What was I saying just before Commander Gabriel came in?
23335What was all that, sir?
23335What was the other question?
23335What will you do if he becomes completely uncontrollable?
23335What will you do? 23335 What''d he die of, sir?"
23335What''d you say?
23335What''s he saying?
23335What''s that got to do with his soul?
23335What''s that supposed to mean, Wally?
23335What''s the matter, honey? 23335 What''s the matter?
23335What''s the trouble, Commander?
23335What''s the trouble?
23335What''s this theory?
23335What''s to do?
23335What?
23335Whatever you are, then,said Mike,"would you mind explaining?"
23335When was that, Mike?
23335Where are you going, Snookums?
23335Where is He hiding?
23335Where is my room?
23335Where is_ who_ hiding?
23335Where''s Doc Fitz?
23335Where''s the damage?
23335Which would take longer?
23335Who among you would have any reason to kill me? 23335 Who are you?"
23335Who knows? 23335 Who''s Officer of the Watch tonight?"
23335Who''s gunning for you?
23335Who...?
23335Who?
23335Why are you worried about His watching?
23335Why ca n''t we spot it right off?
23335Why call him Sir Gay?
23335Why did you go out in the blizzard?
23335Why do you have to watch Him?
23335Why do you want to find God, Snookums?
23335Why do you want to know what He is doing?
23335Why not wait until you got back to Earth, where he''d have a better chance?
23335Why not?
23335Why not?
23335Why''undesirable''?
23335Why? 23335 Why?"
23335Why?
23335Will the Chief Physician''s Mate report to Commander Jeffers in the maintenance tool room? 23335 Will we make it, sir?"
23335Would you kill a man for jealousy?
23335Would you like another cup?
23335Would you mind explaining what this is all about, miss?
23335Would you please tell Snookums why you went out there? 23335 Would you_ really_ like to know?"
23335Yes, sir?
23335Yes?
23335You all right?
23335You did n''t catch him?
23335You do n''t happen to have a hundred- thousand- unit microcryotron stack, do you?
23335You do n''t just want to confront him and call him a liar, do you? 23335 You do n''t mind talking about it?"
23335You mean Jake von Liegnitz?
23335You mean he did n''t practice it?
23335You mean he''s working on_ telepathy_?
23335You mean the_ Branchell_?
23335You mean you did n''t know?
23335You mean,she asked,"something like astrophysics?"
23335You really mean that, do n''t you?
23335You think you know why they did it?
23335You want a drink? 23335 Your business?"
23335_ Ja?_ Huh? 23335 _ Ja?_ Huh?
23335_ Know_ him? 23335 _ Security_ office?
23335_ What?_ This is Lew Mellon''s book?
23335_ What?_ This is Lew Mellon''s book?
2333511"What I want to know,"said Lieutenant Keku,"is, what kind of ship is this?"
23335Again they were all silent, but the question was on their faces: Who?
23335Am I nutty, maybe?"
23335And what is so blasted important about it?"
23335And where were they heading?
23335And why build a spaceship around it?
23335And why from the end of the act?
23335And, like all parents, she was asking herself:"What did I do wrong?"
23335Another act to come?
23335Any excuse?"
23335Anything else?"
23335Are there any more of them?"
23335Are you all ready to go?"
23335Are you really_ the_ M. R. Gabriel, of M. R. Gabriel, Power Design?"
23335Are you sure everything''s all right down there?"
23335Are you sure the vibration of the ship did n''t shake a-- something loose?"
23335As he worked, he said:"You think you know where the rocket was fired from?"
23335Back- patting, or just hero worship?"
23335Before Mike the Angel could answer, Ensign Vaneski broke in with:"But the brain is going to be removed when we get to our destination, is n''t it?
23335Besides, exactly what was wrong?
23335But what I want to know-- and do n''t get sore-- is, did he show any kind of-- well,_ instability_ before this last outbreak?"
23335But what would be the purpose of building a brain as gigantic as the one in Cargo Hold One?
23335But who was on the other end?
23335But why did he do it?"
23335But-- shouldn''t we wait for the lab men?"
23335Can I pick it up in the morning?"
23335Can you be more specific than that, or is it too hush- hush?"
23335Can you carry him, Keku?"
23335Can you get those specs for me?"
23335Can you photocopy them?"
23335Could Snookums work with such a body of knowledge?"
23335Did he act''holier than thou''or-- well, was he a fanatic, would you say?"
23335Did he hit his head?"
23335Did he refuse to stop when you ordered him to?
23335Did you know him well, Pete?"
23335Did you want to stay asleep all your life?"
23335Do you have a copy of the thrust specifications for Cargo Hold One?
23335Do you have any light to shed on this, Mister Vaneski?"
23335Do you know anything about Lagerglocke''s Principle?"
23335Do you know him well?"
23335Do you remember Commander Gabriel?"
23335Do you wish to speak to him?"
23335Dr. Fitzhugh said:"Will you excuse us, Commander?
23335Ever know a guy named Paulvitch?"
23335First, what was it that Snookums was doing just before he came into the Power Section?
23335Fitzhugh?"
23335Fitzhugh?"
23335Gabriel?"
23335Gabriel?"
23335Have I told you that I love you?"
23335He gave his leg a final slap and said:"What happened?
23335He hung it over the back of a chair and said:"Mind if I grab a cup of coffee, Doctor?
23335He simply said,"How''d it happen?"
23335He winced and yelled,"What''s the trouble?"
23335How about bridge?"
23335How about young Vaneski?
23335How can a price be put on knowledge?"
23335How come it does n''t work?"
23335How could they?
23335How do I get to His Despotic Majesty''s realm?"
23335How does that tie in?"
23335How is he?
23335How long before we stop this beat note?"
23335I repeat: Where is your pretty red spaceman''s suit?"
23335I understand you designed her power plant...?"
23335I''m looking for Captain Quill; where is he?"
23335If you had a chance to get out of it gracefully, would you take back what you said?"
23335Is a five- year- old competent to give orders to a robot?
23335Is he?"
23335Is it a passenger vessel, then?
23335Is n''t it possible that an air current or something blew the smell away?
23335Is n''t that right?"
23335Is there a war on or something?
23335Just what the devil is going_ on_ around this place?"
23335Leda Crannon, looking tired but somehow pleased, said softly:"May I come in?"
23335Lock the door, would ye?"
23335Look, Wally, can you wait until tomorrow for those specs?
23335Mike started to say,"At this time of night?"
23335Mike the Angel stared at the microcryotron stack and asked:"Now, tell me, pal, just why would anyone want a brain that big?
23335Mike the Angel watched the expression on the chief''s face and said:"What''s the matter, Multhaus?
23335No like?"
23335Now how the hell could that happen?
23335Now what has this got to do with you and Snookums?"
23335Now-- what happened?"
23335Now--_how could Snookums have been at my door within two seconds after tearing out those switches_?
23335Oh_ yeah_?
23335Okay?"
23335On the other hand, if he did n''t have what you wanted, he''d shake his head just a trifle, then squint up at you and say:"What d''ye want it for?"
23335Or is it your half brother?"
23335Or is there some kind of trouble you have n''t mentioned yet?"
23335Peel that tape off, will you?"
23335Pete Jeffers said:"Mike, if Mellon was poisoned, like you say, how come he was able to attack Mister Vaneski?"
23335Reaction from this afternoon''s-- or, pardon me--_yesterday_ afternoon''s emergency?"
23335Right?"
23335Simply tell Snookums to forget all this stuff?"
23335Snookums is a sweet little tyke, is n''t he?"
23335So I usually think over what I say before I open my big mouth, do n''t I?"
23335So what do you want?
23335So what happened?"
23335So you''re commanding the mystery tub, eh?"
23335So?"
23335Something He will punish you for?"
23335Something more to happen?
23335Spying for the corrupt and evil alien beings of Diomega Orionis IX?"
23335Sugar?"
23335That''s supposed to be_ my_ line, is n''t it?"
23335Then he took a deep breath and said:"Do I look as bad as all that?"
23335Therefore, Question One: Why was n''t the_ Branchell_ being built in space?
23335Therefore, Question Two: Why was the_ Branchell_ being built around Cargo Hold One?
23335Treadmore, looking like a tortured bloodhound, said:"But we''ll make it, wo n''t we?"
23335Understand?"
23335Want me to get them now?"
23335Was he imagining things, or was there a peculiar note in Cowder''s voice?
23335Was he queer?"
23335Was it necessary to have an eight- hundred- pound, moron- genius child- machine running loose, too?
23335Was it necessary to have|| an eight- hundred- pound, moron- genius child- machine running|| loose, too?
23335What am I suspected of?
23335What are you doing here?"
23335What can I do for you?"
23335What can I do for you?"
23335What can I do?"
23335What caused those vibroblades to burn up that way?"
23335What did he tell you?
23335What did you do, exactly?"
23335What did you find out?
23335What did you find out?"
23335What does Chilblains need with a security office?"
23335What does a psychologist have to do with robots?
23335What happened?"
23335What if he simply did not have the equipment necessary?"
23335What is it, sir?"
23335What is it?
23335What is it?"
23335What is it?"
23335What is this system?"
23335What price glory?"
23335What would anybody have against him?"
23335What''re you looking for?"
23335What''s happened?"
23335What''s the beef?"
23335What''s the trouble?"
23335What''s wrong with the low- power circuits?"
23335What_ really_ happened?"
23335When did I ever forget you?"
23335Where is Commander Gabriel?"
23335Where is this coffee haven?"
23335Where is your uniform?"
23335Which led to Question Three: What was_ in_ Cargo Hold One?
23335Which one of us did it?"
23335Who could it be this time?
23335Who gave him the idea to make such an experiment as that?"
23335Who knows what''s going on around here?"
23335Who usually wins?"
23335Who was driving the machine?
23335Who was saying those inane things over the speaker that served the robot as a mouth?
23335Who would buy electric power when he could generate his own for next to nothing?
23335Who?"
23335Why explain it to the crew?
23335Why not just pack Snookums up, take him to wherever he was going, and say nothing about it?
23335Why should a hairy pelt and a relatively low intelligence make a chimp non- human?
23335Why should the Maintenance Officer be on duty right now?"
23335Why take Snookums off Earth?"
23335Why would he do such a thing, for goodness''sake?"
23335Why?"
23335Would n''t it be nice to be able to transform yourself into a swan?
23335Would they work on a man?
23335Would you say I was a pretty levelheaded guy?"
23335You know he''s just a machine-- better than I do, I guess.... What is it, Mike?"
23335You mean Serge Paulvitch, the Fiend of Florence?"
23335You think I want to be a second- class genius working for a second- class outfit?
23335You think I''m crazy?
23335You want a little, eh, ol''buddy?
23335_ Act One, the end of scene five._ But why had he been born to set it right?
23335of E. build the brain on whatever planet we''re going to in the first place?"
29255... Might eavesdrop? 29255 A great man,"she murmured,"but is he-- a little mad?"
29255A private citizen?
29255Am I a prisoner?
29255Am I crazy, Jim,I asked,"or do you see these things too?"
29255And am I to land there, sir?
29255And are we to stand here and let them do it?
29255And gagged? 29255 And in this case?"
29255And so he has walked away from you? 29255 And the_ Dorlos_?"
29255And this,indicating the cross,"is the spot where the Quabos will break in?"
29255And we are the first to enter thy realm from the upper world?
29255And why, Perona? 29255 And you want to get rid of this fellow?
29255And you will go to the mine?
29255And you will pay it?
29255Are n''t you satisfied?
29255Are there three of them?
29255Are they dead, Jim?
29255Are you Spawn''s daughter?
29255Are you ready down there? 29255 Are you ready, Pete?"
29255But they must be, else why were n''t they seen?
29255But this then, is not an ordinary time?
29255But why are you dressed as a boy?
29255But will they pay?
29255But wo n''t it be just a repetition of the first battle?
29255But, Professor,I argued,"it''s all over, is n''t it?
29255But.... You can think of no explanation?
29255Ca n''t you see anything, Pete?
29255Can you imagine what would happen in New York in case of a break- down in water- supply, electric power, and communication? 29255 Chief?"
29255Coincidence or connection?
29255Come to your house? 29255 Conscious of the time, of the locality you went to?
29255Dale,he said at length,"have you ever hunted tiger?"
29255Dale,he whispered hoarsely,"what was it?"
29255De duvel, why should I have sealed him in? 29255 Did n''t he once take a hand in Nareda''s politics?"
29255Difference in temperature?
29255Do any of you know where you are?
29255Do n''t you know-- can''t drown a fish-- holding it under water?
29255Do n''t you suppose these people who lock us in and censor our mail are n''t smart enough to spy on what we say to each other?
29255Do you expect me to go on another one of your crack- brained expeditions into the unknown with you?
29255Do you expect this hunt of ours will be something of a blind chase?
29255Do you see? 29255 Do you suppose there is any hope of your embracing the Faith?"
29255Doctor Dale?
29255Does that window frame contain glass or not?
29255Earthquake?
29255Failed?
29255Father,he sent his thoughts racing on ahead of him,"are those lights which are striking the Earth causing any damage?"
29255From fear?
29255Had they heard the details of the second disappearance?
29255Has this frame glass in it?
29255Hast thou, in the palace, any lengths of pipe like to that which the Quabos drag behind them?
29255Have you been waiting here long?
29255Have you ever been in a crowd, Dale, and watched a certain individual intently, until that particular individual turned to look at you? 29255 Have you found out what they intend to do with us?"
29255Have you seen Smith and Francisco?
29255Have you seen a morning paper?
29255Have you seen everything? 29255 Have you solved the secret of their invisibility?"
29255Hear them, Chief?
29255Hello, Bond,came his voice over the wire,"have you just arrived?
29255Hello, Williams,he said,"how are things going?
29255Here at the mine?
29255Here is the_ Dorlos_; the second of the two, was it not?
29255How do they like it?
29255How dost thou know of the tunneling?
29255How long, father,queried Sarka,"should it take to empty the Gens areas?"
29255How will we see them if they are invisible?
29255I am sure you appreciate the fact that every precaution will be taken to hear the least word that you say to him during his stay here? 29255 I hope you did not intimate your real purpose?"
29255I must certainly get my hands on one of these monsters... superhumanly intelligent fish... marvelous-- akin to the octopus, perhaps?
29255If they are, why have n''t we received evidence of it years ago?
29255If you can get President Markes, he can send some police to the mine--"And find all Nareda''s police bribed by Perona? 29255 Interplanetary cars?
29255Is he a partner of Spawn''s?
29255Is n''t it a beauty?
29255Is n''t it?
29255Is this a roughly accurate plan of the city?
29255Jetta?
29255Jim, all that sounds reasonable, but have you any proof of it?
29255Just where are we going?
29255Marry?
29255May I meet you here to- morrow night?
29255Much further, Hugo?
29255Nine or ten hours? 29255 Of the trees?"
29255Philip?
29255Shall I call you?
29255Shall we reduce speed, sir?
29255So you''ve fallen in love with a girl? 29255 So, Perona?"
29255So? 29255 Spawn has told you that?"
29255Spawn? 29255 Stanley-- can either of you move?
29255Suppose they are armed too?
29255That means I''ve got to feed him taffy while he''s here?
29255The hell-- how do I know, Perona? 29255 The invaders?
29255The other two television observers?
29255Then what of the Spokesmen of the Gens, who will be out of contact with me?
29255Then you got me in here by fraud?
29255There is no other entrance but the sea- way into which we were drawn?
29255To lead another invasion?
29255Was it in broad daylight?
29255Was it too bold?
29255Was that the thing I saw hoisted aboard just before we left?
29255Well, gentlemen? 29255 Well, then, if Markes has told you, then might I not as well admit it?
29255Well?
29255What about reloading?
29255What about the moon?
29255What are they?
29255What are we going to do with our prisoner?
29255What are you going to do?
29255What brings you here, young lad? 29255 What do I owe you?"
29255What do you anticipate, sir?
29255What do you find to talk about?
29255What do you talk about all the time? 29255 What forms?"
29255What is it you would plan to do about it, Señorito?
29255What is that?
29255What of it?
29255What rule? 29255 What were the two reports, Dival?"
29255What will happen? 29255 What will we do if we find them?"
29255What''s the difference?
29255What''s this? 29255 What''s up now?
29255What''s your opinion, Martin?
29255What? 29255 Where did they come from?"
29255Who are you?
29255Who are you?
29255Who are you?
29255Who would attack it? 29255 Why are they taking children, Jim?
29255Why are they taking them to Mercury?
29255Why at night?
29255Why do n''t you run up to New York for a few days?
29255Why do you marry-- unless you''re in love? 29255 Why do you take them?"
29255Why is it impossible?
29255Why so?
29255Why?
29255Will my friend be permitted to depart again, if he once gets in here?
29255Wilson, tell me-- in God''s name-- what has happened?
29255Would you like to come?
29255Would you stand by and see people perish if a turn of your hand could save them? 29255 Yes, O my father; and is there anything else?"
29255Yes, Vardee? 29255 You are, are n''t you?"
29255You came very close to committing a murder on your way here, did you not, Dale?
29255You got away?
29255You have heard of the Special Patrol Ship_ Filanus_?
29255You have n''t become a Science Communist yourself?
29255You have no documents?
29255You here?
29255You know why I have come?
29255You see now, Dale,Drake said quietly,"why I let Hartnett go with you before?
29255You were conscious of every detail?
29255You''re all right, Phil? 29255 _ Dios!_ Gone where, Spawn?"
29255***** Hanley''s microscopic voice cut in:"Getting it, Phil?
29255***** Was it a boy, observing us from the shadowed moonlit garden?
29255***** Woman?
29255A beautiful name...."How did your kingdom begin?"
29255A private individual: that fellow Jacob Spawn--""Spawn?"
29255A treasure of quicksilver ingots here?
29255A week, you say?"
29255And I stammered,"But why are you going to marry?"
29255And is each inhabited by some form of life?"
29255And now, after we had gained admission, what excuse would Hartnett offer for the intrusion?
29255And still the one question remained unanswered: Who was Luar?
29255And the water-- did you notice its color, sir?"
29255And why do n''t you have him to do all of your illustrating?
29255And, if the descent were accomplished, what in the world would we see when we got down there?
29255And, son....""Yes, O my father?"
29255Are we going to make a trip to the moon and interview the inhabitants?"
29255Are you alone?
29255Are you beginning to itch and burn?"
29255Are you interested?"
29255Are you?"
29255As I stepped to the telephone, I heard her murmur, in a weary, troubled voice:"Hypnotism?
29255As the glowing people hurried to obey, Sarka softly asked his father:"But what shall we do with the Martians?"
29255Balls of fire?
29255Because of Jetta?
29255Big, red- faced chap?"
29255But this power-- this awful thing that has been controlling me-- is there no way to fight it?"
29255But what conceivable fate could that be?
29255But what?
29255But who does it make rich?
29255But why not give us a change?
29255But.... How?
29255CHAPTER V_ Mysterious Meeting_"Ah, Grant-- have you enjoyed yourself?"
29255Call it an accident; what matter?
29255Can it be that our planet is honeycombed with such hollows as this we are in?
29255Can mere words describe my feelings?
29255Can you pick off ten in ten shots?"
29255Can you picture it?
29255Can you say that the oceans will never drain of their water?
29255Cleric?"
29255Correy?"
29255Could I get across the floor of the bowl without discovery?
29255Could it further hold against the strain of lifting that combined tonnage through the press of the water?
29255Could there be smuggling going on from this mine?
29255Could we make it?
29255Could you, by chance, secure an artist by the name of Leo Morey or Hugh Mackay?
29255De Boer:"... Get up with my men through the streets to Spawn''s house?
29255Descend and investigate?
29255Did he?"
29255Did not he mention it?
29255Did you ever see anything like it?"
29255Dival?"
29255Dival?"
29255Do you know about it?"
29255Do you mind telling me just what it is?"
29255Do you not ever pick the newscasters''reports, De Boer?
29255Do you not see that she is waiting for you to speak?"
29255Do you think that the world has been invaded?"
29255Do you understand everything?"
29255Do you understand?"
29255Do you understand?"
29255Does it?"
29255Even though you might think it silly?"
29255Ever you have heard of him?"
29255Everything shipshape: perhaps, a degree or two of elevation when we were a little closer--"May I come in sir?"
29255Evidently Hartnett had been carefully instructed as to his course of action-- but why this seemingly unnecessary caution on Drake''s part?
29255Evolution working backward from human to reptile and then fish-- or a new freak of evolution whereby a fish on a short cut toward becoming human?"
29255Father, will you please arrange the division?
29255Gigantic, hitherto unknown fishes?
29255Going to marry her to this Perona?
29255Got her bound and gagged, have they?
29255Granted that such is the case, do you believe that living organisms can be invisible?"
29255Had Sarka the Second been able to prepare for the approaching catastrophe?
29255Had he heard us discussing Jetta?
29255Had the Earth been taken by surprise?
29255Hanley''s microscopic voice:"Phil?
29255Has any observer been able to see any of the purple amoeba which we know are so numerous on the outer side of the heaviside layer?"
29255Has he a daughter?"
29255Has it not been a scandal that this administration does very little for its citizens abroad?"
29255Has your message anything to do with this?"
29255Have you any idea who did?"
29255Have you any preconceived ideas on the disappearance epidemic?"
29255Have you come to be a coward, De Boer?"
29255Have you ever been under hypnotism, Dale?
29255Have you ever thought of combining the two?"
29255Have you got flash- fuses?"
29255He added,"You think-- Hanley thinks-- the smuggling is on too large a scale to be any illicit producer?"
29255He merely asked a question:"Was Lunar very beautiful, and just a bit unearthly in appearance?"
29255How can I?
29255How could I make anything out of it?
29255How could I read any message out of that?
29255How could I?
29255How could Strange, working his terrible murder machine, concentrate his power on any individual, when the whole of London lay before him?
29255How had they managed the first contact, the first negotiations leading to the compact between two such alien peoples?
29255How had they salvaged us from Penguin Deep?
29255How is your marksmanship?
29255How is your menore adjusted, sir?"
29255How many were there?
29255How near to us are they, Kilor?"
29255How, in God''s name, could this man read my thoughts so completely?
29255I believe you are familiar with the traps provided for the purpose?"
29255I said suddenly, out of a silence:"Spawn, why did n''t you tell me you were a producer of quicksilver?"
29255I said,"Are n''t you afraid to leave this stored here?"
29255I said,"You''ll house and care for my machine?"
29255I suppose they have some kind of rock drilling machinery here?"
29255I wonder if we are free to move about?"
29255I wonder why you rate this distinction?"
29255I wonder, do I make myself clear?"
29255I wonder--""Have you any idea how we were rescued?"
29255I wonder.... Is that part of their plan?
29255If I brought the_ Kalid_ down, would she make a third to remain there, to be marked"lost in space"on the records of the Service?
29255If she were a native of Earth, how had she reached the Moon?
29255In Great New York, there are theatres and music?"
29255In an hour, you say?
29255Is it a dream to have some damnable force move me about like a mechanical robot?"
29255Is it not so here?
29255Is it so?"
29255Is that clear?"
29255Is that it, Perona?
29255Is that not reason enough for murder?
29255Is there any way they could manage...?"
29255Jealous, eh?"
29255Jetta was gagged; how could she answer me?
29255Klaser?
29255Like the Middle Ages?"
29255Listening?"
29255Marine growths, half animal and half vegetable?
29255Maximum attraction, eh?
29255Maybe he followed you here?
29255Might he not have known, two centuries ago, of the Secret Exit Dome, and somehow managed to make use of it in some ghastly experiment?
29255Miles J. Breuer, Dr. David H. Keller, R. F. Starzl, and a few more such notable authors?
29255Molecules of water driven by sheer pressure through five feet of glass to unite in drops on the inside?
29255Near here, perhaps: who knows?
29255Now when the hero killed them all with the disintegrating ray, would he not have affected their birth?
29255Or beings of Mars?"
29255Or both?
29255Or should they try to ride out the storm in spite of being crippled by the drag of us?
29255Our commander-- you probably remember him, Hanson: David McClellan?
29255Perona was saying,"Spawn, was Jetta still in her room?
29255Precisely where and for what purpose?
29255Prull?
29255Quite a little plant I have here?
29255Return and report?
29255Rockets?
29255Savvy?"
29255Science Fiction?
29255See where I am?
29255See where I am?"]
29255Shall we descend further?"
29255She might call to him, and he would release her--"De Boer:"How do you know he is not around here?
29255Should they cut the cable, figuring that the lives of the three of us were certainly not to be set against the thirty on the yacht?
29255Should they disconnect the electric control and try to haul us up regardless?
29255So she is there, Spawn?
29255So that was what Perona had told him over the audiphone just before our noonday meal?
29255Spawn, come back to peer in at me?
29255Speaking of New York, will you do me a little service?
29255Stanley, Martin-- are you ready?"
29255Suppose the Americano was back there now?
29255That an earthquake will not open a rift-- some day in the future-- and lower the water into subterranean caverns?
29255That book full of leaves, bugs, and sticks?
29255That is, I mean, can it be done?"
