456''Do n''t you know?
456''If I say good- night to them, and go in,''I asked myself,''what will happen?''
456''Poor little chap,''said he;''and are you lost then?''
456''What has Evesham been saying?''
456''What?''
456After all, I thought, this is life-- love and beauty, desire and delight, are they not worth all those dismal struggles for vague, gigantic ends?
456And I have rejected it, Redmond, and it has gone--""How do you know?"
456And the result of that attraction?
456And the size?
456And then did the pale electric lights near the station cheat the rough planking into a semblance of white?
456And then?
456And then?
456As beautiful as your scales and all this silver vesture of the earth and sky?"
456But all the same, what on earth did Horrocks mean about"white as death"and"red as sin?"
456But did he see like that?
456But did it betray him?
456But what does it matter?
456Can not you hear the path as you walk?"
456Coincidence, perhaps?
456Did he after all know?
456Did he see Holroyd kill himself?
456Did that fatal unfastened door awaken some memory?
456Did the man mean to take the thing coolly?
456Did you ever have Carnaby twist your arm?
456Do you hear?
456Do you remember me as a kid at Saint Athelstan''s?"
456Do you remember?
456Do you think I am coquetting with your people in coming here?''
456Do you think my clothes are beautiful, dear moth?
456Eh?
456Even if Evesham did force the world back to war, what was that to me?
456Even if you died-- even if you died--''"''Yes?''
456Fresh scenes and fresh happenings-- until I came upon the last--""When you died?"
456Had he heard all?
456Had he just been within an ace of being murdered?
456Had they heard aright?
456Have you ever heard of a dream that had a quality like that?"
456He broke out in an argumentative monotone:"But why should it be?
456He hated and resisted these things, but what could he do?
456How can I describe to you the scene we had before us?
456How long had he been in the room?
456I interrupted suddenly:"You have been to Capri, of course?"
456I was a man with the heart of a man, and why should I feel the responsibility of a deity for the way the world might go?
456If there is no refuge, if there is no place of peace, and if all our dreams of quiet places are a folly and a snare, why have we such dreams?
456If, indeed, this battle, this slaughter and stress is life, why have we this craving for pleasure and beauty?
456Is it dreaming?
456Mad?
456Might n''t it be something else?"
456Odd, eh?"
456Odd, is n''t it?
456Or if it was a diamond, how came he by it, and why should he offer it at a hundred pounds?
456Or is it something else?
456She was dressed-- how can I describe it?
456Should he charge them?
456Should he charge them?
456Should he charge them?
456Suppose this slouching, scowling monster_ did_ know anything?
456Then he asked me suddenly if I had heard of a great and avenging declaration that Evesham had made?
456They all sought their own narrow ends, and why should not I-- why should not I also live as a man?
456Was he an ingenious monomaniac, or a fraudulent dealer in pebbles, or has he really made diamonds as he asserted?
456Was he deluding himself with his own fancies, or had Horrocks actually held him back in the way of the train?
456Was it wise to be here?
456Was there, after all, ever any green door in the wall at all?
456Were there other people in the place?"
456What did they call it?"
456What do you want to tell me?''
456What had he heard?
456What had he seen?
456What, he asked himself, had really happened on the line?
456When could the door have opened?
456Where did you get it?"
456Who wants to pat panthers on the way to dinner with pretty women and distinguished men?
456Would he have anything to tell me worth the money, or was he the common incapable-- incapable even of telling his own story?
456You remember?
456You see-- how can I tell you?
456You were n''t there by any chance?
456You''ve never seen it?
456_ No_;_ you_ would not have me do that?"
456what have I done?"
456where are you?"
13931Ah,said Lady Lefevre,"you have noticed something, have you?
13931And all is vanity, eh?
13931And how much, Embro,laughed Julius, rising to leave the circle,"is the argument advanced by your ticketing the case with that long word?"
13931And is that electricity too?
13931And is that your secret?
13931And where have you been all this while?
13931And where is he gone? 13931 And why, may I ask?"
13931And you are really Julius Courtney?
13931And you did not get weary of it?
13931And you thought--?
13931Are you afraid of me? 13931 Are you warm enough?"
13931Becomes solitary, does he?
13931Been in the country?
13931Been what?
13931Brandy? 13931 But ca n''t I do something for you first?
13931But come,said Embro, posing the question with his forefinger;"do you believe that story, Lefevre?"
13931But if he is engaged, Jenkins--?
13931But what did the stranger do to put him in that condition, which seems something more than hypnotism?
13931But,asked Lefevre,"how did you get into such a low condition?"
13931Can I conceive?
13931Do n''t I remember well,said Lefevre,"what you were like when I first met you in Paris?"
13931Do you feel ill?
13931Do you know the beautiful creature?
13931Do you mind saying what you have to say and letting me go?
13931Do you perceive my purpose?
13931Do you quite believe the story?
13931Does the experience of another,demanded the doctor,"however untoward it may be, ever keep a man from making his own?
13931Gone out,said Lefevre,"to the club or to dinner, I suppose?"
13931Has it, indeed, got so far as that?
13931Has nobody been to see him since he came in?
13931Have you lost anything?
13931Have you read it yourself, Julius?
13931Have you seen any of the picture- shows, Julius?
13931Having a debauch, you mean? 13931 He has no profession?"
13931He is gone into the country, then?
13931How are you?
13931How? 13931 I am about to attempt,"said he,"an altogether new operation: the patient has remained just as I left her, I suppose?"
13931I am right, I believe, Dr Lefevre, in setting this down to the author of that other case you had,--that from the Brighton train?
13931I suppose his people are of the right sort?
13931I wish to see Mr Courtney,said Lefevre, in the half hope that Jenkins would say,"Which Mr Courtney?"
13931In the name of truth, Lefevre,answered Julius,"if my life is not my own, what is?
13931Indeed, sir, when you put it so,said the house- physician, suddenly steeled and brightened into interest,"I should say,''why not?''
13931Is he alone, then?
13931Is it fair,said Julius,"to ask you in what direction you are looking for an explanation or revelation?"
13931Is it not horrible? 13931 Is there such a thing as an absolute impossibility?"
13931Is your master at home, Jenkins?
13931Julius,said he,"what does this mean?"
13931Lazying in bed on such a day as this? 13931 May I,"he said,"open the window?"
13931May not I come in? 13931 My dear fellow,"said Lefevre,"do you consider what you are so promptly offering?
13931Nervous Force, whether it be Electricity or not, is manifestly a fluid of some sort: why should it not be transfused as the other vital fluid is?
13931Not at home, Jenkins? 13931 Nothing to do, my dear fellow?"
13931Now, you are a musician, are you not?
13931Oh yes,said Julius, quietly,"I can pronounce an opinion; but what''s the use of that?
13931Shall I get some brandy, sir?
13931Still, had n''t you better try to find out what he may have in that line?
13931Supposing,said Lefevre,"that this Julius were their son, do you know of any reason why he should be reserved about his parentage?"
13931There is no remedy for me but death, which( who knows?) 13931 Weary of it?
13931Well,said Lefevre at length, smiling in spite of a twinge of jealousy,"what do you think, now you have seen him, of the fascinating Julius?"
13931Well?
13931Well?
13931What Paris case?
13931What do you make of this queer case at the Hôtel- Dieu in Paris? 13931 What do you think of it?"
13931What does a man want with a family and a name? 13931 What has come over Nora?"
13931What is this?
13931What then, sir?
13931What-- what do you think of my daughter? 13931 What?"
13931Where have you been this long, long while, Julius?
13931Where is the man?
13931Where was this lady found?
13931Who is the gentleman?
13931Who is there?
13931Who? 13931 Why, Julius,"said Lefevre,"that''s a new experience you are trying,--is it not?"
13931Wo n''t you let me in, Lefevre?
13931Worse?
13931Would n''t a hansom be quicker?
13931Would not my example keep you from using it selfishly?
13931You are alone,said Lefevre,"are you not?"
13931You do n''t understand?
13931You have been in the country,--have you not?
13931You play the violin?
13931You really think so?
13931You say that? 13931 You wanted,"said he,"some serious talk with me, mother?"
13931You-- you saw that?
13931''What is the matter with you all?''
13931A secret that would enable you--_you_--to work cures more wonderful than any that are told of the greatest Eastern Thaumaturge?"
13931And what-- what if Julius knew all that, and therefore sought to keep his parentage hidden?
13931And why could they not have had their talk there as well as in Savile Row?
13931And why was he nightly haunting the busiest pavements of London, in the crowd, but not of it, urged on as by some desire or agony?
13931And yet, who knows what worlds he may not have drawn into his flaming self, and consumed during the æons of his existence?
13931Are you ill?"
13931But can there be any question of vanity or vexation in this sweet, glorious sunshine?"
13931But do you see how Nora and Julius are taken up with each other?
13931But how can we stay babbling and quibbling here all this delicious afternoon?
13931But how was success to be compelled?
13931But you were going to say--?"
13931But-- and you see I frankly expose my whole position to you-- what would you think of her for a wife?"
13931But--_que diable vas- tu faire dans cette galère?_ You are the best friend in the world, and whenever I am in trouble-- and who knows?
13931But--_que diable vas- tu faire dans cette galère?_ You are the best friend in the world, and whenever I am in trouble-- and who knows?
13931Can you conceive, Julius, of a universal principle in Nature being got so under control as to form a universal basis of cure?"
13931Could I not have gone elsewhere-- anywhere, the wide world over-- and lived my life?
13931Crime?
13931Do n''t you see how foolish that is?"
13931Do n''t you think a talk with me might help you?"
13931Do you find her very changed, then?"
13931Do you know that my experiment, if successful, might leave you a paralytic, or an imbecile, or even-- a corpse?"
13931Had he been very ill?
13931Has the lady given an account of it?
13931Have you read it, Julius?"
13931He had a flying thought--"Can it be a woman, after all, in this strange shape?"
13931He told you, I suppose?"
13931How came the idea?
13931How can I harm you?"
13931How do ideas ever come?
13931I believe I have heard of the moon having a magnetic influence on people: do you think it has?
13931I can see you look anxious: is Mary''s condition very serious?--most serious?
13931I demanded; when they instantly cried,''What is the matter with_ you?_ Have you been poisoned?''
13931I demanded; when they instantly cried,''What is the matter with_ you?_ Have you been poisoned?''
13931I knew him years ago: was he a relation of yours, I wonder?"
13931I knew no more of duty than Crusoe on his island; and as for work, I had no ambition,--why, then, should I work?
13931I mean, not as a doctor, but as a man?"
13931In flashes of reflection these questions arose: Who could he be but Hernando Courtney?--and where could he be going but to Julius''s chambers?
13931Is it inevitable?
13931Is it necessary?
13931Is it not forced?"
13931Is not my wretched secret written in my face?"
13931Is your conclusion clear upon the evidence?
13931It was clear that in both cases the nerves had been seriously played upon; but for what purpose?
13931Julius astonished him by demanding,"What is the outrage?
13931Lady Lefevre expressed that in her question--"Why, Julius, have you taken to hard work?
13931Life without health can be nothing but a weariness: why should it be reckoned a praiseworthy thing to keep it going at any price?
13931May we go now, Lady Lefevre?"
13931Now, will you go and speak to her at once, or will you wait till another day?
13931Ought he not to have insisted on seeing whether Julius was in truth alone in the study?
13931Ought he not to leave some hint behind him of the strange adventure upon which he was about to embark, and which might end he knew not how or where?
13931Over dinner, Lefevre was beset with inquiries about his mysterious case:--Was the young man better?
13931Science is the examination of facts, and what has imagination to do with that?
13931Shall I tell them anything of this?"
13931Should he tell the inspector all that he had seen the night before, and all that he suspected now, or should he hold his peace?
13931Something magneto- electric-- eh?
13931Then turning to the waiting policeman, he said,"Of course, you must report this to your inspector?"
13931They were retiring from the window when Embro''s voice again sounded at Lefevre''s elbow--"Come now, Lefevre; what''s the meaning of that Paris case?"
13931Was he handsome?
13931What did he seek?--and what find?
13931What did you desire?--what did you hope for?"
13931What did you say his name is, John?"
13931What do you say, John?"
13931What does she accuse the man of?"
13931What does this mean?"
13931What good would it do me if I had it?"
13931What had the foreign- looking stranger done to him?
13931What if the mysterious person were really proved to be Julius''s father?
13931What more could be said or done?
13931What then?
13931What was the meaning of so much mystery?
13931What was the secret of the old man''s life which had left such an awful impress on his face?
13931What was the secret of the stranger''s endeavour?
13931What, then, did it mean?
13931Where am I?"
13931Where did you say she was found?"
13931Who journeyed with you?"
13931Who was the man, may I ask, that you knew?"
13931Why fix yourself to call this principle you''re seeking for''electricity''?
13931Why should I seek fame?
13931Why, Lefevre, do you look so amazed and overcome?
13931Will you come?"
13931Will you do me that service?"
13931Will you have something to eat and drink?
13931Will you step into the drawing- room, sir, while I inquire?
13931Would you be so good as to bring me the bow of your violin, and borrow for me anywhere a tuning- fork of as high a note as possible?"
13931Would you have me, then, live on,--passing to and fro among mankind merely as a blight, taking the energy of life, even from whomsoever I would not?
13931Yet, he thought, how could he speak to the official, with all that he suspected, all that he feared, in his heart?
13931You remember Nora, Julius, when she was a little girl in frocks?"
13931You think me prejudiced in favour of anything of the kind; perhaps I think you prejudiced against it: where, then, is the good of discussion?"
13931and for what purpose had he done it?
13931debt?
13931he panted in amazement,"do you know that you are refusing such a medical and spiritual secret as the world has not known for thousands of years?
13931or were father and son somehow aware of each other?
13931or, what?
13931political intrigue?
13931said he;"what are you talking about?
13931what have you done?"
13931who knows?
13931why did you not tell me this long ago?
49713''Alone?'' 49713 ''Always?''
49713''And lose you? 49713 ''And now, my darling, have you spoken to your father about our wedding- day?''
49713''And what may that truth have been, darling?'' 49713 ''And what may this one cloud of sorrow be?''
49713''At what hour do my comrades take their morning meal, Herio?'' 49713 ''But hast thou weighed well thine inclination?
49713''But is there no one who beckoneth to thee from that star- world yonder; no memory of one fairer in thy sight than I?'' 49713 ''But this Perodii; what punishment will be meted out to him?
49713''But what good have you really done yourself, Graham, in this thing, provided all be true?'' 49713 ''But when may I see you again, darling?
49713''But why not have told your father all this long ago, darling?'' 49713 ''But wilt thou always love me so?''
49713''But your plans, Doctor?'' 49713 ''But, Volinè, what is it that has drawn you to me?
49713''Dirt, am I, you Martial bully? 49713 ''Doctor, you do n''t mean that?''
49713''Does my Volinè doubt me-- does a single misgiving haunt her heart, now that she has given that heart to me?'' 49713 ''Dost thou press me to answer, Harry?''
49713''Dost thou still desire to proceed through this ordeal, man of Ramos?'' 49713 ''Harry, Harry, dost thou not care for me enough to obey me?
49713''I suppose you are engaged for the day, Graham?'' 49713 ''Is thy royal master engaged with business of State?
49713''My brave one; my brave one; art thou hurt?
49713''Nay, Volinè, will you not call meHarry"?
49713''Pray, who are you,''I asked,''to question Volinè''s right to meet whomsoever she may please?'' 49713 ''Then if I overcome Perodii in fair and open combat on the morrow, will you come unto me?
49713''Then you really mean to fight?'' 49713 ''Then, dear one, when may I look for the consummation of my happiness?
49713''Well, Mr. Temple, and what may you have heard?'' 49713 ''What is the matter, dear one?''
49713''What know ye of Kios?'' 49713 ''What meanest thou?''
49713''Who am I? 49713 ''Why, Graham, wherever on Earth-- no, on Mars-- do you hide yourself?''
49713''Why, Herio, what is the hour? 49713 ''Wilt thou always be so good and kind and loving as thou art just now?
49713All very well; all very well, Temple, if things would turn out so; but when do things turn out exactly as we want them? 49713 And what if I refuse?
49713And your last words, Doctor?
49713Are ye, then, the men of Ramos, with whose evil fame all Gathma rings? 49713 But did you really see and speak to Volinè last night?"
49713But how can that help us? 49713 But why dwell on the ecstasy of our embrace and of our meeting, after so much terrible sorrow?
49713But, Doctor, is there no hope of patching her up for a little time longer?
49713Come, come, Graham, my boy,said Temple on the following day, as the two sat together after our morning meal;"what is the matter with you?
49713Do you think it advisable to go further to- day, Doctor?
49713For the love of Heaven,he said to Kaosp on the day before our trial,"will you not tell me news of her?
49713Have you aught to say, Graham-- or, rather, Prince Tihernah?
49713How so? 49713 I am; what is your pleasure?"
49713If I kill the beastie, will you help to cut him up?
49713Know you aught of Volinè, the King''s daughter; or of Kaosp, a worthy commander of the troops in Edos?
49713Mr. Graham, ha''ye no chance o''breakin awa''?
49713Now, Doctor, what have you got to tell us this time? 49713 Now, strangers from Ramos,"said the King,"have you aught to say to vindicate yourselves?
49713Say now, O King, if these men of Ramos do not justly perish?
49713Shall they go free who spill innocent blood; yea, sully a woman of thy peerless race, and she thy daughter?
49713The same are we; but what know you of our captivity there? 49713 Then you are prepared to start on Saturday, Doctor?"
49713We travel quickly in Gathma,Kios answered,"and I know full well ye could not have come by the same means as I----""So you left Edos so recently?
49713Well, Doctor, what do you say now?
49713Well, Doctor,said Temple at last, after he had patiently waited his investigation,"what are your conclusions?"
49713Well, Doctor,said Temple, one day after work was over,"suppose you give us an idea of our distance from Mars, and our probable date of arrival?"
49713Well, friends, what is the result of your exploration?
49713What are the results of your observations and calculations to- day, Doctor?
49713What are you going to do?
49713What do I here? 49713 What do you think of a city where there are no shops, nor marts of business?
49713What doest thou here, Volinè?
49713What is our distance for the past twenty- four hours, Graham?
49713What message, O King, may I send from you to my own people on the star- world Earth?
49713Why, Graham, what is the matter?
49713Why, Kaosp, where----what seek you?
49713''Hath thou still the inclination to we d this gracious lady, the daughter of our King, by such means as have already been explained to thee?''
49713''Now, wilt that content thee?''
49713''What are your plans for the future, Doctor?
49713''Where and what shall I, Harry Graham, be at the close of that all- fateful day?''
49713''Where did you conceal yourself last evening?
49713A woman?''
49713Am I but to review this promised land of happiness from afar off, only to turn my face away from its green pastures for ever?
49713And did she sing the story of her own tender passion?
49713And when is the fatal day to be?''
49713And yet doth it not seem unmaidenly for me to yield so quickly and so readily to thy words of love?''
49713Are the women of that world more fair, more beautiful than we?
49713Are ye the slayers of Osa?
49713Are your notes complete?"
49713Art thou better now?''
49713Art thou really sure?
49713But by what right do you dictate to her?
49713But have you heard anything from the Doctor about this business?''
49713But now tell me, dear one, if to- morrow I may take you to myself for ever?
49713But what is the Doctor''s opinion?''
49713But why do I see you here?''
49713But wilt thou always love me as thou lovest me now?
49713But, Volinè, why stay so long away?
49713By what attractive force was the latent spark of compassion ignited in that fair Martial breast?
49713Came ye hence in that?"
49713Cross not his path a second time, or he may do thee harm, and I----''"''Should what, dear one?''
49713Did I regret my hasty, passionate vow?
49713Did the ring he wore possess the magic power of which we had been told?
49713Do all the men of Ramos love like thee?
49713Do you not know that you have brought brightness into my life, and have taken that place in my heart which only one woman can ever fill?''
49713Do you really think it wise to take such a pessimistic view of our situation?"
49713Dost thou know that he whose finger carries it is safe from every harm that men of Gathma can work?
49713Dost thou still cherish love for that Mother Earth, shining so witchingly fair above thee, or for anyone that doth dwell thereon?
49713Doth it not seem unholy?
49713Doth no maid of Ramos hold thy heart in bondage?
49713Graham had by this time regained his self- possession, and, with his rifle in hand, as this monster approached, he said:"Doctor, shall I fire?"
49713Had Kaosp''s breach of trust in aiding Volinè and himself to meet after the trial become known, and his treachery punished?
49713Had harm befallen her?
49713Harry, Harry, canst thou bear this pain for me?''
49713Harry, do all the men and women of thy world marry so quickly after betrothal as we?''
49713Harry, why didst thou not keep thy promise to me, and leave this man alone?''
49713Has any harm befallen her?"
49713Hath not that power you tell me the sons and daughters of earth call Love, yet had no resting- place in thy soul?''
49713Have I not already counselled thee to leave him alone?''
49713Have they got nought to say?"
49713Have you any tidings from Edos?"
49713Have you been to bed at all?
49713Have you finished, Sandy?"
49713Have you no idea of the weapons, conditions of combat, and so on?''
49713Have you seen anything more of the King?''
49713Have you yet made known our secret to the King?''
49713He came slowly along the path we were following-- a being-- shall we say a human being?
49713How camest thou by that?
49713How can I repay or thank you for such a boon as this?"
49713How can his downfall shake off our fetters?
49713How can his evil fortune bring our release from captivity, or save us from death?"
49713How long have I slept?
49713How often more art thou going to cross my path and live?
49713How shall we attempt to describe this hideous amphibious monster, as it appeared lit up by the almost incessant flashes of lightning?
49713I ask thy answer to this challenge?''
49713I hear that thou art willing to go through the holy rite that will endow thee with a longer span?''
49713I should like him near me to- morrow, just as a sort of henchman like--- you understand?''
49713If a great and holy man of this world possesses a power which is invested solely in God in our own, why should we marvel?"
49713If my words are lies, why is not Volinè here by her father''s side, as is her unvarying custom?
49713In how many months must I say--?''
49713Is it safe for us to venture therein?"
49713Is she not worthy of all the love that man can give?
49713Is the morn to bring your bridal day?''
49713Is there no hope for me?
49713Is there nought else to charm thee, and bind thee closer to me, to unite thine immortal soul to mine?''
49713Know ye that Fire is Life, and Life is Fire?
49713Know you not that he who seeks to take it by force, or by stealth, is cursed?
49713Know''st thou the charm of that ring?
49713May I count upon your assistance still?"
49713My name is Kios-- and yours?"
49713My span of life is now as long as yours; for know you not that I have passed through holy rites that have endowed me with a fuller measure of years?
49713No hope, Volinè dearest?
49713Now, dear one, tell me of to- day-- when is our bridal feast to be?''
49713Of what were they composed?
49713She here?
49713Surely there are men in Gathma, in Edos, more handsome than I, who would sell their souls for your smiles and favour?''
49713Surely, Volinè''s is not the first pretty face you have seen?"
49713Temple?''
49713The King may govern his people, but his daughter governs him; although he may not know it-- what man ever does?
49713The men of Ramos who escaped death at the crag Remagaloth?
49713Then do you know aught of----?"
49713Then the King, with a wave of his hand, made silence, and in a more friendly voice he said:"Wilt not thy companions speak to us as well?
49713This stranger here is the man of Ramos, who was delivered from thy father''s misplaced wrath at Remagaloth?''
49713To- night?
49713Upwards the good air- ship flashed with terrible velocity, bearing us whither-- ah, whither?
49713Volinè, speak?
49713Volinè?
49713Was I awake or dreaming?
49713Was I still on Earth, and my visit to this strange world, and all that had befallen me thereon, but the wild delusion of a madman''s dream?
49713Was all a dream?
49713Was this last sweet, hidden singer Volinè?
49713Was your father at all inclined to withhold his sanction?''
49713We looked where Sandy pointed, and there-- could we trust our eyes?
49713Were we still unconscious?
49713Were we still under the influence of a subtle poison?
49713What are your latest views on our position?"
49713What could we not do in them?
49713What mercy would you have shown me were I in your place?
49713What new discovery have you made?
49713What wondrous magic, what enchantment was this?
49713When shall our nuptials be?
49713When will you name your bridal day, so that I may make you my own for evermore?''
49713Who hath taught thee her weakness?''
49713Why could not they lead us out like men?
49713Why should I gratify thy curiosity, thou dirt of Ramos?
49713Why so melancholy?
49713Why?"
49713Wifeless, childless, relationless, what have I to look forward to?
49713Wilt thou not eat before thou hast converse with us?''
49713Would any fellow, especially situated as I am, fancy free, in the pride of early manhood, escape from such seductive attractions unscathed?
49713Would you care to hear your lover''s name bandied about Edos as another name for cowardice?
49713You know the old Earth- saying about all things coming to him who waits?
49713You see it, Temple?
49713You will not be present at this fray to- morrow?''
49713he exclaimed,"who would have dreamed that such creatures were lying beneath its surface?"
49713hope, when does man really abandon thee?
49713how darest thou utter such words concerning me, the daughter of thy King?"
49713why doth she shun our company?
11870''And next?'' 11870 ''Next?''
11870''No,''he said;''but----''''Why can not you leave me alone?
11870''No?'' 11870 ''What have I to do with these things now?''
11870Aluminium?
11870And are you really going?
11870And did you dream again?
11870And it does-- twice?
11870And it goes twice?
11870And that was the end?
11870And the orchid?
11870And then he will be sane?
11870And then?
11870And then?
11870And then?
11870And they carried guns?
11870And they sting?
11870And which way do I go?
11870And you are ready to go?
11870And you have come into the world?
11870And you really think such a thing_ is_ possible?
11870And you''ve been happy ever after, eh?
11870And you?
11870Any luggage, sir?
11870Anything amusing?
11870Anything new? 11870 Are these the things collected by that poor young fellow you told me of the other day?"
11870Are these-- alive? 11870 Bellows,"he said,"is that you?"
11870But I should have thought an aeroplane?
11870But how do they form new plants?
11870But is such a thing possible?
11870But what else was there to_ do?_he cried.
11870But why me in particular?
11870Butcher-- Butcher?
11870Ca n''t I do anything for you?
11870Ca n''t you see it''s me?
11870Ca n''t you speak?
11870Capo,he said,"have you your glasses?
11870Cones?
11870Davidson,said I,"what on earth''s come over you?"
11870Dear me, Jane, did you? 11870 Dere is one thing we can do,"he said presently,"What''s that?"
11870Did I do that myself in a flash of absent- mindedness?
11870Did the fellows-- make it disagreeable?
11870Did the little missionary come back?
11870Did you call me a fool?
11870Did you ever play North- West Passage with me?... 11870 Did you hear that--_ Bogota_?
11870Did you see dat?
11870Did you-- by any chance-- see his face?
11870Died?
11870Do something with''em... Did you think it was a treat?
11870Do you ever dream? 11870 Do you mean--?"
11870Do you notice the horses?
11870Do you think I have n''t seen that?
11870Do you think it is wise, Jane?
11870Do you think she lives there now?
11870Do you want me to criticise these plays?
11870Do_ we_ come in the way? 11870 Dreams?"
11870Eh?
11870Eh?
11870Eh?
11870Eigh?
11870Eigh?
11870Even now--"The dream is always the same-- do you mean?
11870Fail me?
11870Funny case, was n''t it? 11870 George,"she said in an awe- stricken whisper,"did you see?"
11870Gibberne,I cried,"how long will this confounded stuff last?"
11870Got it?
11870Had I anything in my hand when I spoke to you, dear, just now?
11870Has God got Hell up his sleeve then?
11870Has any one finished number three?
11870Has no one told you,''In the Country of the Blind the One- eyed Man is King''?
11870Have I got that right?
11870Have I not served my Lord?
11870Have you been telling Mr. Raut of all these contrasts of flame and shadow you think so splendid?
11870Have you ever seen a curtain before a window fixed in that way before?
11870Have you heard?
11870Have you lost your wits?
11870He does not suspect?
11870Heard what?
11870Help me to sit down,said he presently;"and now-- I''m sorry to trouble you-- but will you tell me all that over again?"
11870Hid_ what_?
11870His papa, ma''am----"His_ what_, Jane?
11870How about miracles now?
11870How about the others? 11870 How did he die?"
11870How did it happen?
11870How did it taste?
11870How did these men die?
11870How did you do that?
11870How do you know?
11870How do you manage that?
11870How is this Sunday different from all other Sundays, little woman? 11870 How many days?"
11870How much was there of it?
11870How much will that be?
11870How the deuce could you dream that?
11870How the deuce,said I,"are you holding on up there?"
11870How?
11870How?
11870How?
11870I beg your pardon?
11870I could almost swear----"What?
11870I did n''t show any signs, did I, in those days of having a secret dream?
11870I say,I said, in an undertone, and indicating Gip and the red demon with my eyes,"you have n''t many things like_ that_ about, have you?"
11870I suppose it will wear off?
11870I suppose,the pale man said, with a slight smile,''that you scarcely care to have such things about you in the living-- in the active state?"
11870I wonder why? 11870 I''m dreadfully stupid,"said Fanny,"but who_ was_ Bibulus?"
11870I''m not walking fast, am I?
11870I''ve tried it,he said,"and I do n''t look hurt by it, do I?
11870If I were to consent to this?
11870If you had that?
11870If you were a statesman in a corner, for example, time rushing up against you, something urgent to be done, eh?
11870In there?
11870Is n''t it here?
11870Is n''t it?
11870Is n''t there something called consecutive dreaming-- that goes on night after night?
11870Is that a Magic Sword?
11870Is that sort of thing always dreaming? 11870 Is this_ all_?"
11870It do n''t leave much for ambition, does it?
11870It was lively times I tell you? 11870 It''s a little thing in the telling, is n''t it?
11870It''s all a delusion, is it? 11870 Jest stop rotating, will you?"
11870Joshua?
11870Left whom?
11870Legerdemain?
11870Like what?
11870Like--?
11870Living in a different time,I said:"do you mean in some different age?"
11870Locked in?
11870Look at that,said Holroyd;"where''s your''eathen idol to match''i m?"
11870Look here,I said,"who told you about my great- grandmother''s recipes?"
11870May I arst why?
11870May I sit up?
11870Mechanical? 11870 Must you be led like a child?
11870My dear''Olroyd, what am I to do about dese infernal ants?
11870My hat?
11870Nipping your arm off?
11870Not pass me?
11870Not-- surely not the immaculate Hill?
11870Not_ this_?
11870Nothing out of the way?
11870Now,_ what_ affects it?
11870Of course?
11870Orchids?
11870Past?
11870Please, m''m, may I go and see a wedding tomorrow?
11870Poisoned-- by the ants?
11870Put on my shoes? 11870 Really?"
11870See?
11870Sight?
11870Sight?
11870So I said,''could n''t you change it?'' 11870 Something in this way?"
11870Sounds?
11870Steel?
11870Stop a planet in its flight, rob it of its centrifugal force, what then? 11870 Stop jest a moment while I collect my thoughts... And now what shall I do?"
11870Stop there, will you?
11870Suppose so? 11870 Survivors?"
11870Swarm over him?
11870Tell me,I said,"what happened?"
11870That future,he said,"would you in truth change it?"
11870That slide--"Moved? 11870 That you, Pyecraft?"
11870The garden?
11870The girl?
11870The street? 11870 The year three thousand, for example?"
11870Then they march about alone?
11870Then you are engaged to him?
11870There is neither ghost of earl nor ghost of countess in that room, there is no ghost there at all; but worse, far worse----"Well?
11870This seems bosh to you?
11870To open?
11870To the canoe?
11870Try the stuff?
11870Vestiges of daylight? 11870 Was n''t he the person who built the wall?"
11870Was the egg addled?
11870We have got to be-- what do you call it?--entomologie? 11870 We never found the white wall and the green door...""You mean----?"
11870Well... You''ve heard of the AEpyornis?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870Well?
11870What are you dewin''with that switch?
11870What can it mean to them?
11870What can one_ do?_he murmured, and turned over and was still again.
11870What can we have the pleasure?
11870What d''yer do it for then?
11870What d''yer mean by it?
11870What do you keep on posing for?
11870What do you mean?
11870What does it matter?
11870What if I die under it?
11870What in Heaven''s name, Pyecraft,I asked,"do you think you''ll look like when you get thin?"
11870What inducement has he?
11870What is a new star to me?
11870What is blind?
11870What is it, Gip?
11870What is it? 11870 What is one to_ do?_"he said, his voice going up to an angry squeak.
11870What is there forward?
11870What is your friend Leonard?
11870What old woman?
11870What shall we have?
11870What the devil''s that?
11870What the goodness am I to_ do?_he said.
11870What was it like?
11870What was that I heard?
11870What was that about''lived in vain''?
11870What was that?
11870What was there to do but flight? 11870 What was you saying behind my back about my playing?"
11870What were, they like?
11870What''s come to it?
11870What''s come to you, Hooker?
11870What''s she got in her''and?
11870What''s the matter with you?
11870What''s the matter with you?
11870What''s the matter?
11870What''s this?
11870What''s up, man?
11870What''s up?
11870What''s up?
11870What''s wrong now?
11870What''s wrong with my playing now?
11870What-- to land?
11870What?
11870What?
11870What?
11870What?
11870What?
11870What_ can_ such people want in Rome?
11870What_ do_ you see?
11870What_ shall_ I do? 11870 What_ was_ it?"
11870What_ was_ that fearful smash?
11870When?
11870Where am I?
11870Where did you go?
11870Where does he come from, brother Pedro?
11870Where is my boy?
11870Where is the trail?
11870Where''s Maydig? 11870 Where''s the recipe?"
11870Where?
11870Which way?
11870Who are you throwing brambles at, you fool?
11870Who knows?
11870Who the juice are you?
11870Who''s been killing calves here? 11870 Whom did you collect for?"
11870Why did you ask five pounds?
11870Why did you not come when I called you?
11870Why do n''t you drink?
11870Why not? 11870 Why not?"
11870Why not?
11870Why not?
11870Why should n''t he?
11870Why should n''t we go out?
11870Why? 11870 Why_ should_ he?"
11870Will you hurt me much?
11870Will you tell me how much all this comes to?... 11870 Wonder who the deuce I am, eh?
11870Yes?
11870Yes?
11870Yes?
11870Yes?
11870You believe now,said the old man,"that the room is haunted?"
11870You did?
11870You do n''t find yourself in doubt: did this happen or did it not?
11870You do n''t mean to say-- eh?
11870You do n''t see a moth on the edge of the table there?
11870You left him?
11870You liked it?
11870You mean?
11870You mean?
11870You say you''ve tried it?
11870You wanted to see me?
11870You were saying,he said, addressing himself to Gip,"before you came in, that you would like one of our''Buy One and Astonish your Friends''boxes?"
11870You will not perhaps mind taking my name, taking my position, but would you indeed-- willingly-- take my years?
11870You wo n''t think I''m mad?
11870You''ll take that box?
11870Your dreams do n''t mix with your memories?
11870_ Did_ he do all this?
11870_ Eigh_?
11870_ Faraglioni_? 11870 _ Is_ there a Hell?"
11870_ Now_?
11870_ What do you mean_?
11870_ You_ do not want me,he said,"to lose my gift of sight?"
11870''Do n''t you know?
11870''If I say good- night to them, and go in,''I asked myself,''what will happen?''
11870''Poor little chap,''said he;''and are you lost then?''
11870''Very well,''I says??
11870''Very well,''I says??
11870''Well,''I says,''how''s the trade in scissors?''
11870''What d''ye take me for?
11870''What has Gresham been saying?''
11870''What''s the matter now?''
11870''What?''
11870''Who''re ye staring at?''
11870--or was it Hooker?
11870After all, I thought, this is life-- love and beauty, desire and delight, are they not worth all those dismal struggles for vague, gigantic ends?
11870Ai n''t he a- clawin''out of the keb?
11870Also, they argued, do ants bite or sting?
11870And Gip----?
11870And I have rejected it, Redmond, and it has gone----""How do you know?"
11870And always somewhere in that fat, abundant discourse he will say,"The secret''s keeping, eh?
11870And the result of that attraction?
11870And the size?
11870And then did the pale electric lights near the station cheat the rough planking into a semblance of white?
11870And then to Gip,"Do you see anything you fancy here?"
11870And then,"Fail me?
11870And then?
11870And then?
11870And what do you think''s the matter with me?
11870And what on earth set this wind a- blowing?
11870And what was I?
11870And what''s the writing?"
11870And why not take some of this delightful toadstool with him, for them to eat?
11870And why should they stop at tropical South America?
11870And, besides, why does he keep on eternally eating?
11870And, moreover----?
11870Are they dangerous now?"
11870Are we to run away from these confounded ants whenever they show up?"
11870Are you wearing your hair in a new way without warning me?
11870As beautiful as your scales and all this silver vesture of the earth and sky?"
11870At that he stepped back a pace, and cried out with almost a whimper,"What, in Heaven''s name, has come over me?"
11870But I am always inclined to distrust these philanthropists- on- principle--""Are you quite sure?"
11870But all the same, what on earth did Horrocks mean about"white as death"and"red as sin"?
11870But as for the rest----Where''s the village?
11870But did he see like that?
11870But did it betray him?
11870But do you think----?
11870But how to prove it?
11870But it was a queer thing to happen to a man; was n''t it-- altogether?"
11870But should I let him?"
11870But what was to prevent the ants evolving also?
11870But when did they find these bones?"
11870But, you know, what can you expect?
11870Can not a man seek after righteousness for righteousness''sake?"
11870Can not you hear the path as you walk?"
11870Can you focus as closely as those planks there?"
11870Coincidence, perhaps?
11870Coombes?"
11870Could it see him?
11870Could you do other things besides that?"
11870D''yer know that stick hurt?
11870Did a man near to death begin instinctively to withdraw himself from the meshes of matter and sense, even before the cold hand was laid upon his?
11870Did he ever think of those days in Rome, gone now beyond recalling?
11870Did he like it or did he not?
11870Did he see Holroyd kill himself?
11870Did he, after all, know?
11870Did he, indeed, turn his horse, or did it really of its own accord stampede after its fellow?
11870Did that fatal unfastened door awaken some memory?
11870Did the man mean to take the thing coolly?
11870Did they get any more eggs?
11870Did you ever have Carnaby twist your arm?
11870Did you get those home?
11870Did you like it?"
11870Do they still show children dissolving views?
11870Do you follow me?"
11870Do you happen to know?
11870Do you hear?
11870Do you know what hallucination means?"
11870Do you remember me as a kid at Saint Aethelstan''s?"
11870Do you remember?
11870Do you see the angel with the book?"
11870Do you think I am coquetting with your people in coming here?''
11870Do you think my clothes are beautiful, dear moth?
11870Domestic?"
11870Down that way-- nothing but pot- banks and chimneys belching fire and dust into the face of heaven... But what does it matter?
11870Eden?"
11870Eh?
11870Eh?
11870Even if Gresham did force the world back to war, what was that to me?
11870Even if you died-- even if you died--''"''Yes?''
11870For the new miracle of nature may stand in need of a new specific name, and what so convenient as that of its discoverer?
11870Fresh scenes and fresh happenings-- until I came upon the last--""When you died?"
11870Had I been dreaming of Eden overnight?
11870Had I passed out of being into something that was neither being nor not- being?
11870Had he been dull?
11870Had he heard all?
11870Had he just been within an ace of being murdered?
11870Had the bed turned round?
11870Had they heard aright?
11870Have you altered the curtains, or re- arranged the furniture, or where is the indefinable difference of it?
11870Have you ever heard of a dream that had a quality like that?"
11870Have you got it?
11870He broke out in an argumentative monotone:"But why should it be?
11870He hated and resisted these things, but what could he do?
11870He saved your life two minutes before... Why are you our lord?"
11870Hill?"
11870How can I describe to you the scene we had before us?
11870How can I express it?
11870How could he tell now whether he might not have identified the thing without shifting it?
11870How could they find out?
11870How do you take the mixture?"
11870How fared the chase?
11870How long had he been in the room?
11870How shall we get it to the canoe?"
11870How_ can_ they matter?
11870How_ could_ she explain?
11870I did not catch it clearly, because the little man beside me said, in a sharp jerk,"_ What''s_ that?"
11870I doubt if you''ll remember anything of the_ Ocean Pioneer_?"
11870I had it----""From Pattison?"
11870I interrupted suddenly:"You have been to Capri, of course?"
11870I led Gip round the head- wagging tiger, and what do you think there was behind the counter?
11870I said,"How the devil did I get here?"
11870I said,"How would you like your soldiers to come alive, Gip, and march about by themselves?"
11870I was a man, with the heart of a man, and why should I feel the responsibility of a deity for the way the world might go?
11870I wonder if you''ve heard the name of Butcher ever?"
11870If that is not cheating--""If I was a cheat,"said Hill, with the note of hysterics in his voice,"should I come here and tell you?"
11870If there_ is_ no refuge, if there is no place of peace, and if all our dreams of quiet places are a folly and a snare, why have we such dreams?
11870If, indeed, this battle, this slaughter and stress,_ is_ life, why have we this craving for pleasure and beauty?
11870Is it too extravagant if I tell you that it seemed to me as if Regent Street had, for the moment, done that?
11870Is that a miracle, or is it black art, or what is it?
11870Is there anywhere where I can talk to you?"
11870It would be a sort of melancholy pleasure to talk to him again, and what harm could it do?
11870It''s dreadful, is n''t it?
11870Jolly quick thing, Bellows-- eigh?"
11870Leaving what?
11870Let me see-- where_ am_ I?
11870Mad?
11870Maydig?"
11870Might n''t it be something else?"
11870Mr. Piddingquirk--""_ Who_?"
11870My father was near making me promise----""He did n''t?"
11870Niggers?
11870Odd, eh?"
11870Odd, is n''t it?
11870Or is it something else?
11870Or where should we be?
11870Ought it to have been?"
11870Plattner?"
11870Pyecraft?"
11870See?
11870See?
11870See?
11870See?"
11870Shall we re- bury them over here, or take them across the strait in the canoe?"
11870She had been quiet for a minute, and then she suddenly remarked,''William is a lot above me, ma''am, ai n''t he?''"
11870She was dressed-- how can I describe it?
11870Should I drift off presently, like a puff of smoke from a gun, in some kind of half- material body, an attenuated version of my material self?
11870Should I drift to some spiritualistic_ séance_, and there make foolish, incomprehensible attempts to affect a purblind medium?
11870Should I find myself suddenly among the innumerable hosts of the dead, and know the world about me for the phantasmagoria it had always seemed?
11870Should he charge them?
11870Should he charge them?
11870Should he charge them?
11870Should he identify it?
11870Should he own up to the accident now?
11870Smoke?
11870Snooks?"
11870So I said-- even I have my bright ideas at times--''If it got down from Sevenoaks to Snooks, why not get it back from Snooks to Sevenoaks?''
11870Sun, sky, sea, rocks-- what was it?
11870Suppose Wedderburn too had shifted the slide?
11870Suppose this slouching, scowling monster_ did_ know anything?
11870That lamp, in the natural course of nature, could n''t burn like that upsy- down, could it, Beamish?"
11870The fact is----""Well?"
11870The patch of stars he saw was in Sagittarius and south- eastward; the door was north-- or was it north by west?
11870The puma, the jaguar, were more the masters here... Who were the real masters?
11870The puzzle is, what are the flowers for?
11870The whole thing impressed him as incredibly foolish and wrong, but-- what was one to_ do_?
11870The_ Ocean Pioneer_?
11870Then suddenly, with a queer rush of irritation,"What are you staring at?"
11870Then with an abrupt transition to unreasonable anger:"What is the good of waiting here all the day?
11870There came a piping bawl from inside the door:"That Formalyn?"
11870There was n''t no inscription; why should there be?
11870They called the year differently from our way of calling the year... What_ did_ they call it?"
11870They called''em AEpyornis-- what was it?"
11870Unless you happen to be afraid?"
11870Was I indeed Elvesham, and he me?
11870Was I indeed immaterial?
11870Was all life hallucination?
11870Was he deluding himself with his own fancies, or had Horrocks actually held him back in the way of the train?
11870Was he going to faint?
11870Was it in retreat?
11870Was it pure hallucination?
11870Was it wise to be here?
11870Was n''t it kind of him to mind that fancy of mine, when many men would have taken offence?
11870Was that last night, or the night before?
11870Was the Lord Dynamo still hungry?
11870Was the thing coming on again?
11870Was the thing, whatever it was, inside or out?
11870Was the whole universe but a refracting speck upon some greater Being?
11870Was there any Eden?
11870Was there any ground for the relief in the presentiment of death?
11870Was there no sympathetic ruler anywhere in the world?
11870Was there, after all, ever any green door in the wall at all?
11870Was this dulness of feeling in itself an anticipation?
11870We got to do this, and we got to do that--""If you do n''t mean to study my connection,"said Mr. Coombes,"what did you marry me for?"
11870Were our worlds but the atoms of another universe, and those again of another, and so on through an endless progression?
11870Were there other souls, invisible to me as I to them, about me in the blackness?
11870What are they-- these Watchers of the Living?
11870What can a man do against ants?
11870What d''yer do it for, eh?"
11870What did a dead Chinaman signify?
11870What did they do?"
11870What do these things matter?
11870What do you think?
11870What do you want to tell me?''
11870What do_ you_ think?
11870What does it matter?
11870What else did you expect?
11870What had he heard?
11870What had he seen?
11870What has happened?
11870What has he to complain of?
11870What is he stuffing?
11870What is it?"
11870What phantom was it?
11870What ship is that?"
11870What the devil was it?
11870What was he to_ do?_ I suggested he should adapt himself to his new conditions.
11870What was it I had not done?
11870What was it Wedderburn was saying?
11870What was it had gone?
11870What was that refined little home to her now, spite of autotypes, Morris papers, and bureaus?
11870What was this familiar street?
11870What was this strange reddish dawn in the interminable night of space?
11870What was unfolding itself?
11870What''s gone wrong?
11870What, he asked himself, had really happened on the line?
11870When could the door have opened?
11870Where had the door got to?
11870Where is the courage that should animate us?
11870Where the devil are we?"
11870Where was I?
11870Where''s Mr. Plattner?
11870Where''s-- where''s anything?
11870Which way shall we go?
11870Which way shall we go?"
11870Which way_ are_ you, Bellows?"
11870Who do they say--?"
11870Who wants to pat panthers on the way to dinner with pretty women and distinguished men?
11870Who would believe me if I did tell?
11870Why are you bothering yourself to lend that book"-- he indicated William Morris by a movement of the head--"to everyone in the lab.?"
11870Why could n''t he be nice-- as he used to be?
11870Why did n''t you marry a slavey?''
11870Why do n''t you show yourself like a man, Bellows?"
11870Why do you concern yourself about the beggar in the gutter?
11870Why do you trouble about the interests of the race?
11870Why had he left the crystal in the window so long?
11870Why in the name of passionate folly_ this_ one in particular?
11870Why not here and now?
11870Why should she deny herself?
11870Why should she not hear of him sometimes-- painful though his name must be to her?
11870Why should things stop at that any more than men had stopped at the barbaric stage?
11870Why?
11870Why?"
11870Window, or door?"
11870Wonder if he''s after''Arry''Icks?"
11870Wot''s_ he_ got?"
11870Would even his pleasant company compensate her for that?
11870You begin to understand me?
11870You do n''t happen to remember, perhaps?"
11870You do n''t want to shirk the consequences of your own acts?"
11870You got_ fresh_ rattlesnake venom?"
11870You remember?
11870You saw that fish at first?
11870You see-- how can I tell you?
11870You were n''t there by any chance?
11870You will just have lived twice to other people''s once--""I suppose,"I meditated,"in a duel-- it would be fair?"
11870You''re a type of student-- Cambridge men would never dream-- I suppose I ought to have thought-- why_ did_ you cheat?"
11870You''ve never seen it?
11870_ Is_ it dreaming?
11870_ They_ all sought their own narrow ends, and why should not I-- why should not I also live as a man?
11870be a pigeon, will you?"
11870he cried, and broke off with"But what_ can_ one do?"
11870he did n''t stick out at that?"
11870he said to Thaddy--"the Thing I fought with?".
11870it''s you, is it?
11870or should he leave this question unanswered?
11870or was I indeed, even as I felt, alone?
11870said Holroyd,"what now?"
11870said I;"my wits are going, or am I in two places at once?"
11870she said;"ca n''t people enjoy themselves?"
11870what could be in them?
11870what has become of it?"
11870what have I done?"
11870where are you?"
11870with that stupendous violence of effect?
