38497 | And, through this bloody baptism, shall not our nation be purified at length, and fitted to act a nobler part in the world''s history?" |
38497 | Another question is frequently asked me--"Are not the private soldiers cruelly treated by the officers?" |

38497 | I have often been asked:"Have you ever been on a battle- field before the dead and wounded were removed?" |
38497 | I knelt beside him and asked:"What can I do for you, my friend?" |
38497 | I see it now, with its white lips and beseeching eyes; and then the touching inquiry,"Do you think I''ll die before morning?" |
38497 | I told him I thought he would, and asked:"Has death any terrors for you?" |
38497 | I turned to him, and asked:"How is it with you? |

38497 | Is it Bourbon or Monongahela?" |
38497 | Is this affection, so deep, so holy, yearning over its object with undying love, to be nipped in the very bud of its being? |

38497 | One man asked a surgeon, who had just performed an operation on one of his arms,"Doctor, is there no alternative-- must I be taken prisoner?" |
38497 | One of the men said"See here old woman, are you sure that she can tell us if we find her?" |
38497 | One of the men, desirous of changing the conversation, said:"Uncle, are you blind?" |
38497 | President?" |
38497 | Say, who should mourn for him? |
38497 | Shall I know the bright spirit as thee? |
38497 | Shall we not even know those dear ones in the spirit world? |
38497 | The clerk turned away in disgust, and disdaining to reply to the soldier, he inquired,"But where shall I sleep to- night?" |
38497 | The first words I heard were spoken in the most touching manner--"Oh, why did you send away my boy? |
38497 | The following are a few extracts:"Oh, can it be that my Willie will return to me no more? |
38497 | Then came the interrogatory process-- Who was I, where did I come from, and what had brought me to that city? |
38497 | Then looking at me again in that earnest, scrutinizing manner, she said:"I know I can trust you-- you will do as I have requested?" |
38497 | There is, undoubtedly, vice in the army; but where is there a city or community throughout the North where vice is not to be found? |

38497 | Who is this beside me? |

45680 | Yeou doant reckons, suh, they kin see this heah fire aburnin'', do yeou? |
45680 | You have my house address, I presume, cousin? |
45680 | You looked after those decoys, I expect, brother? |
45680 | [ 2]Which reminds me I did n''t think to tell you_ all_ the news that was contained in that letter from Los Angeles-- want to hear it now, brother?" |
45680 | _ Cousin_ Casper Herriott? |
45680 | ''pears to me I did-- he was some sorter black man, wa''nt he, suh, what could play extra good on the pianner?" |
45680 | Are you satisfied now, Jack?" |
45680 | But what''s the idee o''aour headin''fur Charleston after we kick aout o''this burgh, eh, partner?" |
45680 | CHAPTER IX WHEN THE DAWN CAME"Kinder looks like we''d hit civilization again, eh, ole hoss?" |
45680 | Caint yeou git the shover to speed her along a little, ole hoss?" |
45680 | Did I do the right thing Boss, tell me?" |
45680 | Did you ever hear of Blind Tom, brother?" |
45680 | Do you feel the utmost confidence in his honesty, sir? |
45680 | Get it now, do you, old pal?" |
45680 | Get that now, Wally?" |
45680 | Get that, do n''t you, Wally?" |
45680 | Get the airport yet-- Wally?" |
45680 | Glad you arrived safely; was that your ship I chanced to notice hovering over the airport about eleven?" |
45680 | Got those chilled- shot shells I want to tryout, did you, Wally?" |
45680 | Gwine up right naow, suh?" |
45680 | Haow kin yeou do it, suh, I''d shore like to know?" |
45680 | Heading for that foreign steamship, is n''t that cloud chaser?" |
45680 | Herriott?" |
45680 | How does the ground look to you, buddy?" |
45680 | I presume, sir, the new amphibian is here, and waiting for me?" |
45680 | I''m jest awonderin''whether us Southern kids ever_ did_ have a gen- u- ine ole swimmin''-hole in them_ won_-derful days, eh, what?" |
45680 | Jest hear''em whoopin''it up, will yeou, suh?" |
45680 | Perk at one time burst forth,"did yeou ever in all yeour life listen to sech queer sounds as them? |
45680 | Soak that in, both of you boys?" |
45680 | There came a slight exclamation, then--"Who is it speaking, please?" |
45680 | What else is there''baout the boat we''ll''preciate, boss?" |
45680 | You get the point, do n''t you, Wally, boy?" |
45680 | You say there were several speed boats and launches fast to the sides of the big freighters, when you glimpsed them? |
45680 | ai nt it jest the limit, apullin''the wool over the eyes o''one o''the darnedest sharpest newspaper boys as ever was?" |
45680 | naow ai n''t that fine?" |
45680 | somethin''mebbe naow Mr. H been atellin''you- all, eh, suh?" |
45680 | the other was remarking;"then after all the party at the soda counter was n''t quite a stranger to you seeing he evidently had learned your name?" |
45680 | was_ he_ hangin''''raound after all?" |
45680 | weuns ought to know what kinder stuff, eh, partner?" |
45680 | what is it, boss?" |
45680 | you do n''t say, brother?" |
31426 | All done up brown and slick, Jack old hoss, now what? |
31426 | All set, Perk? |
31426 | And so this is where our friend has his secret hideout at such times when he so mysteriously disappears from his big show place near Miami? 31426 As what, partner?" |
31426 | But hold on a bit-- mebbe now somethin''s a''goin''to strike up we''ll both be sorter glad to set eyes on-- looky there, old hoss, what do you see? |
31426 | But what makes him keep all this smuggling business clear of this wonderful show place near Miami? |
31426 | But what''s the big idea, partner? |
31426 | Course, you knocked up against the gent then, eh Jack? |
31426 | Do we tow the ship behind the sloop, partner? |
31426 | Do you mean he''s got a collection there, Jack? |
31426 | Er--''bout how long will we be in makin''some sort o''start, boss? |
31426 | Give up? |
31426 | How about a little grub for a change, partner? |
31426 | How''bout spendin''the night here, partner? |
31426 | How? |
31426 | I calculate now it means we c''n move around an''get tabs on this here hideout o''the gent we''re so much in love with, eh, what? |
31426 | I get you, boy-- the machine- gun, is it? |
31426 | I swan, but you''re right there, Jack-- which looks kinder like he did n''t mean to strike out for Miami, do n''t it? |
31426 | Jack, I''member there''s a log a''lyin''right over there-- why could n''t I use that an''really break through? |
31426 | Jack-- what''s happened-- are you bad hurt, buddy? |
31426 | Just so, and what d''ye reckon we''re going to do with it? |
31426 | Know how long you''ll be away, Jack? |
31426 | Looks like it might a come all the way across the gulf-- d''ye think from some Mexican port, Jack? |
31426 | Me, I''m jest awonderin''? |
31426 | Meanin''we c''n get somewhere without tryin''to tow the rum- boat behind our crate, and making a long and tiresome job o''it, eh what, partner? |
31426 | Mebbe the Lockheed- Vega comin''back again? |
31426 | Notice that he''s already banking, so as to lay his course toward Cape Sable-- square in the south-- get that, do n''t you Perk? |
31426 | Now would n''t that jar you? |
31426 | Paper, you say? |
31426 | Partner, would you mind tellin''me what about this here Oswald Kearns? |
31426 | Say, what sort of a crazy gyp are you to want to talk things over while we got this scrap on? |
31426 | So-- you think that''s a queer name, do you? 31426 That''s our boat you''re standin''on, and we need it in our business, see? |
31426 | Think that''s this here Kearns, partner? |
31426 | Was he tickled to learn how we managed to run off with that slick little sloop that carried so neat a pack o''cases marked with foreign stamps? |
31426 | We do n''t want him to give us the slip, since he''s the on''y prisoner we got, do we, partner? |
31426 | Well, I guess now that would queer our game, would n''t it, partner? |
31426 | Well, we''ve got the rum- boat okay, have n''t we? |
31426 | What do I see but another crate humping along this way, an''outen the no''th in the bargain? |
31426 | What is it, Perk? |
31426 | What next, Boss? |
31426 | What''re we goin''to do with this chap? |
31426 | What''s that matter to you? |
31426 | What, me? 31426 When do we hop- off, then?" |
31426 | Why not? |
31426 | Would n''t that jar you? |
31426 | Yeah, an''what might that be? |
31426 | Yeah-- but how? |
31426 | You do n''t say? |
31426 | You got me guessin''partner,said the puzzled Perk;"then who''s mixed up in the shindy, I want to know?" |
31426 | You got me in a tail spin, partner-- lift the lid, wo n''t you, an''gimme a look in? |
31426 | You heard me warn them to keep a watchful eye out for smugglers and hijackers by land and sea and air? 31426 You mean_ tonight_ while I was picking up a few winks of sleep-- is that a fact, Perk?" |
31426 | A bit tired in the bargain I take it, partner?" |
31426 | A few more steps and he would have reached the well-- then what must take place? |
31426 | An''now I wonder where we''ll be sent for the next big job we tackle?" |
31426 | An''that goes, partner, see?" |
31426 | But Jack, tell me, you do n''t think he''s got our man alongside him, do you?" |
31426 | But how''bout draggin''that ere mudhook up off the ground-- think we c''n tackle the job between us, Jack?" |
31426 | CHAPTER XXIX A LAST RESORT Meanwhile how fared Jack in his share of the attempt to corner the defiant and persistent law- breaker? |
31426 | Could anything be fairer than that, Perk asked himself, preparing for business at the drop of the hat? |
31426 | Could this later fire have been directed at Jack, who had unwisely exposed himself at the side window? |
31426 | Do n''t think they c''n lamp us lyin''here, do you, Boss?" |
31426 | From this time on seems to me we''d be wise to play a lone hand, an''not bother about takin''any gyps into our confidence, eh what, Jack?" |
31426 | Get that do you, Perk?" |
31426 | Get that, Kamarad?" |
31426 | Got a line on the racket, old boss?" |
31426 | Got that piece of stout rope I gave you?" |
31426 | How about Jack? |
31426 | How does the land lie over there?" |
31426 | How''bout that, old hoss?" |
31426 | Is it all right with you, buddy?" |
31426 | Listen to''em squabble, will you, boy? |
31426 | Mebbe now you noticed some sort o''crate just vanishing among them clouds off toward the east as you breezed along?" |
31426 | No objections, have you, Perk?" |
31426 | Now I wonder what he wants to barge in for when things seem to be doin''their prettiest for us fellers? |
31426 | On a previous occasion the same thing had handily proved its efficacy, so why not again? |
31426 | Perk was asking,"mean to kidnap both o''these guys Jack?" |
31426 | Say, ai n''t this the boss job though? |
31426 | See here, what''s the matter with you, staring that way, Perk?" |
31426 | So he used to fish in them passages''tween the mangrove islands years ago, did he, Jack?" |
31426 | Strikes me they''re a''searchin''for somethin'', Jack, which might be the pair o''us, eh, what?" |
31426 | Tell me, did this Mr. Ridgeway fork over any news worth knowin''?" |
31426 | Well, I''m asking you again, where did you ever run across it-- who ever spoke it in your hearing, Perk?" |
31426 | What could he do should this crisis come upon him, Jack was asking himself as he crouched there and counted the minutes passing by? |
31426 | What''s her name and where are you from?" |
31426 | What''s it mean, Perk-- was he kicking up a mess around here?" |
31426 | Whatever under the sun is he doing, I wonder?" |
31426 | Who got fooled that time, I want to know, Gabe Perkiser, you smarty?" |
31426 | Why d''ye suppose we did n''t see the crate before?" |
31426 | Would it be proper to set the bally boat afire and see all this hot stuff go up in flames? |
31426 | but ai n''t this the life, though?" |
31426 | do n''t I know how impatience is my besettin''sin and ai n''t I always a''tryin''to curb it? |
31426 | ejaculated Perk,"that there''s the place we learned they was shippin''Chinks over to Florida from, ai n''t it Jack, boy?" |
31426 | partner, what''s broke loose, would you say?" |
31426 | so_ this_ is where he dropped down, is it?" |
31426 | that drummin''noise, it''s stopped-- wonder if they got out to the sloop or else smell a rat an''are lyin''low till they make it a dead certainty? |
31426 | that''s so, old hoss,_ what?_ Mebbe now the shoe''s on the other foot, an''it''s the blamed sloop that''s got us held up. |
31426 | the weight do n''t count with such a husky as me, old hoss an''how do we know what''s goin''to happen before we gets back here? |
31426 | two may be company, but three''s considered a crowd and we might have found we''d bitten off more than we could chew, so what does it matter?" |
31426 | what d''ye mean by sayin''that, old pal?" |
31426 | what''s this I''m seein''partner?" |
31426 | why not?" |
10996 | ''Allow me to ask,''said the soldier,''your advice, as to the part which a true friend of his country should take, in these times?'' 10996 ''But tell me,''said Crosby,''before I go, how will you escape suspicion?'' |
10996 | ''By whose authority is this?'' 10996 ''Can I be introduced to him?'' |
10996 | ''Could you introduce me to some of the company?'' 10996 ''Could you introduce me to some of your neighbours of this way of thinking?'' |
10996 | ''Cross to- night?'' 10996 ''Do I understand you?'' |
10996 | ''Do you leave here soon?'' 10996 ''Good evening,''said the stranger--''which way are you travelling?-- below?''" |
10996 | ''Have you many of your way of thinking in these parts?'' 10996 ''I wonder what he''ll think_ now_?'' |
10996 | ''In this pack, madam? 10996 ''Is it so?'' |
10996 | ''Is this possible?'' 10996 ''Look at this stack, sir-- what do you think of this?'' |
10996 | ''On Tuesday evening, at the barn of Mr. S----; what say you, will you be present?'' 10996 ''One more question,''said Crosby--''who put it into your heart to deliver me?'' |
10996 | ''Perhaps not-- but I am sure you were not long since at Fishkill? 10996 ''Sir,''said Crosby--''do you know the character of the people who live around you?'' |
10996 | ''That''s the secret, is it?'' 10996 ''To S----? |
10996 | ''Val,''said he, knocking the ashes from his pipe--''you know tee shentlemen of tee armee? 10996 ''Val,''said the Dutchman,''how you go?--on shank''s mare? |
10996 | ''Well, Mr. Crosby,''bawled out the captain,''what say you? 10996 ''Well, my lad,''said the captain,''do you understand burrowing?'' |
10996 | ''What is it?'' 10996 ''What news?'' |
10996 | ''What sort do you wish?'' 10996 ''What?'' |
10996 | ''When and where does the company meet, before marching?'' 10996 ''Where is he?'' |
10996 | ''Who are you?'' 10996 ''Who is he?'' |
10996 | ''Why so?'' 10996 ''Will you join us?'' |
10996 | ''Would you like to enlist?'' 10996 ''You are going to enlist into the army, are you?'' |
10996 | ''Your company is full, then?'' 10996 ''Your resolution is honourable,''said Mr. Jay--''but may you not be of greater service, in another way? |
10996 | And did Crosby tell him? |
10996 | And what story shall I tell you, my son? |
10996 | But did he not do wrong to conceal his opinions? |
10996 | But you would wish your brother to know the_ reason_ of things, would you not, master Henry? 10996 Did Crosby tell him that he would go below?" |
10996 | Did n''t he want to see his mother? |
10996 | Did the captain show him the roll? |
10996 | Did you say, father, that mortars Were_ short_ guns? |
10996 | Do you wish to know the_ original meaning_ of the words, my son? |
10996 | Father, could a soldier dodge a cannon ball? |
10996 | He was justly rewarded, was''n''t he, father? |
10996 | How are bombs fired, father? |
10996 | Is not that a French name? |
10996 | Is that the meaning of the word tory? |
10996 | Pray, father, may I interrupt you to inquire why Crosby did not tell who he was, and in that way escape? |
10996 | Pray, father, may I interrupt you, to inquire what was meant by the''neutral ground? |
10996 | Pray, father, what are shells? 10996 Pray, father, what did she mean by Miller''s opiates?" |
10996 | Pray, father, what is a muster- roll? |
10996 | Pray, father, who invented bombs? |
10996 | Shall you tell us about some battle, where you fought? |
10996 | Then, turning to Crosby--''I have seen you before, I think, sir?'' 10996 Was Crosby a whig?" |
10996 | Was Crosby seen by them? |
10996 | Was Enoch Crosby a minute man? |
10996 | Was he a general, father? |
10996 | Was that man a tory, father? |
10996 | Well, father, did they hang up Crosby for a scare- crow? |
10996 | Were any measures adopted to retake him? |
10996 | Whence were the names whig and tory derived? |
10996 | Which way was that? |
10996 | Who were the committee at White Plains? |
10996 | Why did Crosby wish to see that? |
10996 | Why not, father, if neither the British, nor the Americans, occupied it? |
10996 | Why were they called''_ minute men_,''father? |
10996 | Why, you simpleton, John, do n''t you know better? |
10996 | Will you tell me a story this evening, father? |
10996 | Worse than the British, father? |
10996 | _ Enoch Crosby_? 10996 ''But, sir, how so?'' 10996 ''Have you any place of enlistment hereabouts, that a body could join, if one were so minded?'' 10996 ''Madam, have you heard the_ news_?'' 10996 ''Why so much hay in one stack?'' 10996 *****What noise is that?'' |
10996 | And you go little farther, you see two roats-- you musht not take bote of''em-- understand?'' |
10996 | Benedict, when he saw him,''have you got back, Crosby? |
10996 | Come, my good fellow, shall I enter your name?'' |
10996 | Did I ever tell you about_ Enoch Crosby_?" |
10996 | Do you know where it lies?" |
10996 | I am a shoemaker, madam-- perhaps, you have some work for me to do? |
10996 | I have been among them-- I know them-- I know their plans-- and--''"''Can you give me their names?'' |
10996 | Is that likely, when we know how to manage? |
10996 | Puckle tee pest shaddle on mine horse, and pring him to tee horse plock tirectly-- you hear?'' |
10996 | Taking to their boats, the next day they reached the_ Isle Aux Noix_?" |
10996 | There''s such work now- a- days, that a body do n''t know nothing what to say or do-- pray, what do you carry in that huge pack?'' |
10996 | Vat for tey rite you?--eh?'' |
10996 | Well, what think you now? |
10996 | What say you, shall I enter your name?'' |
10996 | What should he do? |
10996 | Where are Henry and John? |
10996 | Why do I see you thus?'' |
10996 | Will you tell it, father?" |
10996 | Yaw-- you see dat road pon de hel?'' |
10996 | _ John_,"Did the people find walnuts there, father?" |
10996 | _ William._"What did that paper contain?" |
10996 | alive yet, father?" |
10996 | asked Crosby, while he and the farmer were at work--''can it be thunder?'' |
10996 | asked Crosby,''does he keep the key himself?'' |
10996 | exclaimed the captain of the tories--''it''s needless to shed blood-- what are your terms?''" |
10996 | exclaimed the schoolmaster,''do my eyes serve me? |
10996 | father, I thought a spy was an odious character?" |
10996 | father, who were they?" |
10996 | father-- pray, what was that?" |
10996 | ha?''" |
10996 | inquired the stranger-- his keen eye settling on the steady countenance of Crosby--''do you wish to know, which party a real patriot should join?'' |
10996 | is it you, Crosby?'' |
10996 | roared out the captain,''you are afraid the muster roll will fall into bad hands-- are you? |
10996 | said the farmer,''do you see yonder mountain, west?'' |
10996 | sir-- did you ask for lodgings? |
10996 | uttered the other--''are you, then, indeed, an enemy to your country? |
10996 | vociferated he, in a tone of thunder,''Sentinel, what is the meaning of all this?'' |
10996 | you know the story, I trust-- can you tell it to your brother?" |
61040 | ''What''s the matter with you?'' |
61040 | ''What''s this mean?'' |
61040 | Again why? |
61040 | And why not? |
61040 | And why? |
61040 | Are all Departments of the Government patriotic? |
61040 | Are they unaware that the Englishman is the worst servant in the world if he is not trusted, but the very best if full confidence is extended to him? |
61040 | Are we children to believe such official fairy- tales? |
61040 | Are we doing enough in other directions? |
61040 | Are we doing the same? |
61040 | Are we going to permit, when the war is over, a repetition of all this? |
61040 | Are we methodical; are we thorough? |
61040 | Are we not, indeed, coddling the Hun? |
61040 | Are we to muddle the business of making peace as we muddled the preparations for war? |
61040 | Are we told the truth about the war? |
61040 | Assume a reversal of the prevailing conditions: would Germany have been so foolishly indulgent towards us? |
61040 | Assume that the spy is here; how are we to prevent him getting out? |
61040 | But before whom is my friend, the Belgian ex- detective, to place his information? |
61040 | But if this, indeed, be the real cause-- a lack of knowledge of the essential facts of the situation-- whom have we to thank? |
61040 | But who will do this work if the"authorities"so steadily refuse, in order to bamboozle the public, to perform their duty? |
61040 | But would Germany, who for seven years prepared for war, overlook the vital question of her food supply? |
61040 | Can I, or any man in the street, believe that we are''fighting for our lives''while the enemy lives contentedly among us? |
61040 | Can it be met by the leisurely methods with which we have hitherto been content? |
61040 | Can it be supposed for an instant that the Germans do not know? |
61040 | Can they not see that their foolish policy of suppressing ugly facts is, day by day, breeding greater distrust and apathy? |
61040 | Can we praise too highly the patriotism of those who, even under such circumstances, have answered the call of duty? |
61040 | Can we shut our eyes to the fact that in this shameful exploiting of the very poor by the unpatriotic lie all the elements of a very serious danger? |
61040 | Compare our own methods with those of methodical matter- of- fact Germany? |
61040 | Could any facts be more illuminating than these? |
61040 | Could any greater and more glaring official untruth be told? |
61040 | Could anything be more heart- breaking to the men who are fighting and dying in the trenches? |
61040 | Did the German never ask for his salary?'' |
61040 | Do they-- at least do some of them-- realise this? |
61040 | Does any sane human being, remembering the treatment of Belgian civilians who just did this, expect that such advice will be followed? |
61040 | Does anything remind the thoughtful man that we are at war? |
61040 | Does the knowledge that Englishmen may be led, but can not be driven, convey nothing to them? |
61040 | Has it taken the people fully and frankly into its confidence? |
61040 | Has the nation had the clear, ringing call to action that, unquestionably, it needs? |
61040 | Have we not heard of Crimean veterans dying in our workhouses? |
61040 | I ask, could mischievous and bungling stupidity go farther than this? |
61040 | Is every enemy alien known, I ask? |
61040 | Is it a matter for wonder that so many have hesitated to join? |
61040 | Is it not a fact that the public are daily being misled and bamboozled? |
61040 | Is the Government doing enough to rekindle those impulses? |
61040 | Is there a reader of these lines who will heed them? |
61040 | Is there no lesson here for the wiseacres of Whitehall? |
61040 | Is there no lesson our authorities at home can learn from that deathless story? |
61040 | Is there no peril here to our beloved country? |
61040 | Is there, we may well ask, another race in the world that would have wrested such glory from the disaster at Mons? |
61040 | Moreover-- and this is of greatest importance-- are our Allies persuaded_ that we are really making the great efforts the occasion demands_? |
61040 | Now are we doing everything in our power to avert the threatening peril? |
61040 | Now where has it gone? |
61040 | See https://archive.org/details/britainsdeadlype00lequrich BRITAIN''S DEADLY PERIL Are we Told the Truth? |
61040 | Shall we seize the opportunity or shall we"muddle through"? |
61040 | Should I also write? |
61040 | The Government is exercising authority under martial law over Army and Navy; can not it get efficient control over the industrial army? |
61040 | The lesson assuredly will not be lost upon her: shall we make sure that it is not lost upon us? |
61040 | Then he at once asks, and very naturally too, why do the authorities officially protect them? |
61040 | To what end? |
61040 | We are glad, of course, to learn of the success, but would it not be well for the nation to learn of the failure? |
61040 | We have"muddled through"in the past: shall we"muddle through"again? |
61040 | What are we doing to meet that peril? |
61040 | What can be more ridiculous than this?" |
61040 | What is the result? |
61040 | What more need be said? |
61040 | What pro- German influence in high quarters can be at work to connive at our undoing? |
61040 | What, I wonder, was the value of the Scarborough raid as compared with the recruiting posters? |
61040 | Where did it go to? |
61040 | Who could not win with such teams as those named above? |
61040 | Who is to blame for this fattening of our enemies at the expense of the poor? |
61040 | Who knows? |
61040 | Why should coal in a village on the banks of the Thames be actually cheaper than the corresponding quality of coal when sold in London? |
61040 | Why? |
61040 | Why? |
61040 | Why? |
61040 | Would I assist in locating them, and prosecuting a full inquiry? |
61040 | Would she have treated us with more consideration than she showed towards the starving population of Paris in 1871? |
61040 | Yet, in spite of that vast number, I still ask"Are we doing enough?" |
61040 | Your Highness''s servants-- when did they come North?'' |
61040 | _ Are we doing enough_, I ask again, for the gallant men who have served us so well? |
45627 | Ai n''t you goin''to let me in on the fun, partner? |
45627 | Airships did you say, Jack? |
45627 | All fixed, are we brother? |
45627 | And if it ai n''t a dead secret would you mind tellin''me what sort of a jaunt we''re pushed on to this time-- is it to be a hunt, partner? |
45627 | And what makes you feel that way, Perk? |
45627 | But just the same you ai n''t any too-- er-- sanguine-- is that the word I want, partner? 45627 Come far, sir?" |
45627 | Crater Lake, Jack? |
45627 | Did you manage to save him, sir-- tell us-- or-- or was it too late? |
45627 | Do we leave him there, after comin''so far to help the poor lad? 45627 Do you mean air- mail crates or some of those pilots who''re searching for signs of Buddy Warner?" |
45627 | Every feller had his hand in but poor me; what''ve I done to be cheated out o''my share like I was a baby? 45627 Expected to meet up with some muck like this I guess, eh, partner?" |
45627 | Forgot to ask you whether they''d learned anything about our lost friend, Buddy Warner-- how about it, Perk? |
45627 | Four thousand feet an''more, eh? |
45627 | Glory be Jack, an''what have you got in that wise coco o''yourn, if it''s all right for you to up an''spill the game? |
45627 | Gosh amighty Jack, did you see me knock the ole hippopotamus silly when I opened on him right smart? 45627 Got any sort o''idee where we might be right now, Jack?" |
45627 | How long we been kickin''through this mess? |
45627 | I kinder guess you''re itchin''to get our bearings again Jack? |
45627 | Is it too badly wrecked for you to fix up so I can pull out of this awful hole and take off again? |
45627 | Jest see how the''ve changed a heap o''the instruments we used to swear by in them days o''the big war over in France, eh Jack? 45627 Joke hey? |
45627 | Listen, Jack-- don''t you hear it ahead there? |
45627 | Meanin''to get seven winks o''sleep, ai n''t you? |
45627 | Never say die, eh? 45627 No wildcat skirmishin'', an''heatin''about the bush for_ you_, eh partner?" |
45627 | Pretty girl this time struck you where your heart is soft, eh, buddy? |
45627 | So that''s all settled, hey? 45627 Tell me, did you come through this crash without being seriously hurt yourself?" |
45627 | That bally English doctor wanted to take the arm off-- said it''d save my life, but what use would life be to a birdman with only one arm? 45627 Then the mystery is as deep as ever and they have n''t yet found out what happened to poor Buddy?" |
45627 | We''ll help you get them out o''the bus, lady,he hastened to say;"if so be you''ll kindly show us where they be-- ain''t that so, partner?" |
45627 | What about, old pal? |
45627 | What ails you now, comrade? |
45627 | What''s goin''to be done about it, eh partner? |
45627 | Whatever ailed you Perk, to set that thing going like mad? |
45627 | Where to, Jack-- north, east, south or west? |
45627 | Whereabouts? |
45627 | Who knows, Perk? |
45627 | You are searching for him, I take it for granted? |
45627 | A sort o''yearnin'', hopin''but kinder afraid things might n''t turn out so well in the end?" |
45627 | Ai n''t there a way for us to slant down an''drop on that sandy shore his boat''s restin''on? |
45627 | An''what did you think was the worst story in the bunch, Jack old hoss?" |
45627 | Bart Hicks played one on his unsuspectin''guests then, did he?" |
45627 | But say, things keep on pilin''up worse than I ever ran across in all my whole life-- look at what''s ahead there-- can you beat it, Jack?" |
45627 | Could anything be said to make a mother''s heart thrill more with joy-- or that of Buddy''s best girl also? |
45627 | Did you notice them sitting there when we came in?" |
45627 | Did you say you would take a look at my ship and find out what''s wrong? |
45627 | Do you agree with me, sir?" |
45627 | Do you think they are working on the same lines as the rest of us?" |
45627 | Get that now, brother, do you?" |
45627 | Hang it all, why could n''t I have been doin''some other sorter job where they might''a''let me off for a spell? |
45627 | Hey there, Cyclone, where''d you pop up from, old pard?" |
45627 | However did it happen you picked out this place to come down in, or was it just by a rare chance? |
45627 | I get you, partner,"he mumbled, not yet thoroughly aroused,"watchman, how goes the night, eh Jack, old hoss?" |
45627 | I reckon now you''re meaning an eagle, eh Perk?" |
45627 | I sure do hope now they ai n''t meanin''to bust in on our fine ship an''play hob with her-- wouldn''t that jar you though, partner?" |
45627 | I''ll promise to wake you up inside of three hours when you can take charge while I hit the hay-- how about that arrangement, boy?" |
45627 | Is that really and truly smoke curling up from over there?" |
45627 | It may assist me to remember the particular instance out of the hundreds I handled?" |
45627 | Jack, do you think they know who we are and got some sort o''grudge against us on''count o''the trade we foller, eh, what?" |
45627 | Jack, whatever c''n it mean, do you reckon?" |
45627 | Know him, Perk?" |
45627 | Mebbe you''ve noticed me takin''a look all around once in a while-- up in the air, I mean? |
45627 | Must they turn back, and possibly spend yet another dreary night in the little valley town, dispirited and with the poor girl in despair? |
45627 | Now, what about putting me wise to the game that was sprung on you tonight?" |
45627 | Now, what next I wonder?" |
45627 | Oh my stars, c''n it be possible we''ve run on to poor Buddy Warner so clost to help an''him stuck there like a pig in a poke all this while? |
45627 | Ready for it?" |
45627 | Remember that, will you, Cyclone?" |
45627 | Say, ai n''t that worth comin''out here to see? |
45627 | Shake hands with me, will you? |
45627 | Tear in an''tell a feller what it all was about, wo n''t you?" |
45627 | The dirty scoundrels-- wantin''to give you a_ ride_, was they? |
45627 | V WHEN A COG SLIPPED"What''s up, partner?" |
45627 | Want me to keep that right along, Boss?" |
45627 | We sure do strike the strangest happening in our line o''work, do n''t we?" |
45627 | What genuine reason could a girl have for such an overwhelming desire for action? |
45627 | What if the fool bird plunges madly at our ship? |
45627 | What should they do about it? |
45627 | What was this he saw projecting from the lake close to the shore? |
45627 | What was to hinder them seeking it out again, and finding a safe harbor for the hours of darkness? |
45627 | What will happen to us all?" |
45627 | What will poor Mother Warner say when she fails to hear from me as I promised? |
45627 | What''s the use ruining his hide? |
45627 | Where was the strange hermit of Crater Lake? |
45627 | Why did he not show himself when he surely must have watched their coming and successful descent? |
45627 | Why should she show such a yearning for a chance to continue her flight? |
45627 | Would their entire day be put in without a breath of cheering hope? |
45627 | all set now for another long spin, combin''the country as we go along, eh partner?" |
45627 | now ai n''t that the rottenest luck ever?" |
45627 | so that''s the bully sort of life you fellers in the Secret Service lead, is it?" |
45627 | ventured Perk, in a tone of injured innocence,"when did this beat in on us, buddy?" |
45627 | what d''ye think o''that measly rum- runner bobbin''up like a floatin''cork to annoy us again?" |
45627 | what is it, old hoss?" |
45627 | what was_ that_ now?" |
45627 | what''s this I''m seein''partner?" |
45627 | why was n''t there three bums in the bunch, just enough to go around; dang''em, why did they want to crab my game like that?" |
41186 | A secret message-- what? |
41186 | A well- paid friend-- eh? |
41186 | Ah, Monsieur Gerald,she cried, springing forward to greet me,"our friend Luigi has been telling me some very strange things-- eh?" |
41186 | And if I revealed the truth to your dear affectionate husband? |
41186 | And who are you? |
41186 | And, pray, who has applied for me? |
41186 | Are you quite sure,I asked,"that it is not verbena?" |
41186 | Are you sure they never perfume wedding cards in England? |
41186 | Are you sure? 41186 Are you, then, a friend of my country?" |
41186 | But what is the nature of this inquiry, Monsieur Sant? |
41186 | Decline what, my dear? |
41186 | Did he propose to go with you? |
41186 | Did she say where she was going? |
41186 | Did you perfume the cards before you printed them? |
41186 | Does he always go the same side of the Square? |
41186 | Except Doris, eh? |
41186 | From Vienna? |
41186 | Gentleman? |
41186 | Go back? |
41186 | Has Jeans arrived? |
41186 | Has Monsieur Cauvin many English friends? |
41186 | Has some been stolen, then? |
41186 | Has the Count told you that? |
41186 | Have you really taken leave of your senses, Guilio? |
41186 | He was about forty-- pale, with a dark- cropped moustache and rather bald-- eh? |
41186 | How are you feeling? |
41186 | How could you have met? |
41186 | How do you know? |
41186 | I wonder how many of you would have come back? |
41186 | If he were a friend of Gould''s, why should he do this? |
41186 | Is it all right? 41186 Is it not unusual, monsieur, to scent a wedding card?" |
41186 | Is that 7257 North? |
41186 | Is that Beppo? |
41186 | May I borrow this for a few days? |
41186 | My dear Elena, how does Austria know so many secrets of her enemies? |
41186 | Of what? |
41186 | Perhaps, Monsieur Sant, someone has been telling you I am a confirmed babbler? |
41186 | Some new development, I suppose, eh? |
41186 | Something fresh this time? |
41186 | Swedish also? |
41186 | That you, Rose? 41186 Then what is his game?" |
41186 | Well, and what does this mean? |
41186 | Well, has anything serious occurred? |
41186 | Well,I said, when we had been assured that no patent of any kind had been taken out by Cauvin,"what am I to do? |
41186 | What about his friend? |
41186 | What about the Dutch sailor? |
41186 | What about the gentleman who was with her? |
41186 | What do you make of it, Mr Sant? |
41186 | What has brought you over? |
41186 | What has happened? 41186 What is the matter?" |
41186 | What then-- eh, Elena? |
41186 | What? |
41186 | When does our friend expect Mr Thornton, as he calls himself? |
41186 | Where does his money come from, monsieur? |
41186 | Where is Guilio? |
41186 | Who is that gentleman? |
41186 | Who would have thought of meeting you here? 41186 Why should I? |
41186 | Why that particular book, and why so much trouble to get it? |
41186 | Why? |
41186 | You recollect Signor Corradini, who used to come to see us in Livorno? |
41186 | You will remember what I told you when I met you in Curzon Street? 41186 You will surely not give up yet?" |
41186 | Am I not Austrian? |
41186 | And who is` T''? |
41186 | And why, in defiance of all social custom, had it been scented with such a perfume as that of the stag- leaved geranium? |
41186 | Besides, if the man has an honest bargain to drive, why should he assume my name?" |
41186 | But how am I going to get this fellow? |
41186 | But how? |
41186 | But what has that to do with me?" |
41186 | But who had blundered? |
41186 | But why had she gone to Santander? |
41186 | But, my dear Sant, what is his motive? |
41186 | But-- there was a very big but: what was his business in the dead of night in an empty house in the West End in company of a suspected German spy? |
41186 | Could his suspicions have been aroused, I wondered? |
41186 | Do you understand?" |
41186 | Does this interest you?" |
41186 | For if"Captain James Easterbrook"was unknown in Chester, the home of his supposed bride, what was my chance of penetrating his disguise? |
41186 | Has monsieur returned for his dinner?" |
41186 | Have you got van Rosen and Easterbrook?" |
41186 | Have you heard of any attempt to secure the submarine secrets?" |
41186 | He knows of your difficulty in meeting that last loan which old Levitski, the Jew, in Milan, made to you a year ago, and--""How does he know that?" |
41186 | Hitherto Madame Gabrielle had been shadowing him; were the positions now reversed? |
41186 | How could the enemy know? |
41186 | How did Heinrich come to see the advertisement, and how did he know the key to the code? |
41186 | How did the news reach the Wilhelmstrasse so quickly? |
41186 | I wonder why?" |
41186 | If to them, then why not to me-- eh?" |
41186 | Now what can we do?" |
41186 | Rather curious, is it not?" |
41186 | Remember how he wriggled out of our hands in the Gould affair, when we thought we had him safely netted?" |
41186 | Tell me,"he demanded,"why are you wearing that glove?" |
41186 | That is the sum, I think? |
41186 | The fact is, I was wondering whether Blind Heinrich is taking any part in the game?" |
41186 | The question was: were they watching me? |
41186 | Therefore, you will swear that, whatever happens, and even if suspicion be cast upon your husband, you will never betray me?" |
41186 | Thyra"(_ the Christian name of Madame Bohman_)"will meet E.H."(_ was this Ernst Halbmayr_?) |
41186 | Was I, I wondered, coming to grips at last with our problem? |
41186 | Was the perfume verbena or scented geranium, and had the card any special significance? |
41186 | Were they signals? |
41186 | What contretemps had occurred? |
41186 | What did the bogus card indicate? |
41186 | What does Jules Cauvin know about motors? |
41186 | What does he propose?" |
41186 | What has happened?" |
41186 | What have you got on hand now? |
41186 | What is he after? |
41186 | What is your opinion?" |
41186 | What is your plan?" |
41186 | What machinery? |
41186 | What was the meaning of the various coloured bows on the parrot''s cage? |
41186 | Who are they?" |
41186 | Why Peterborough, I wondered? |
41186 | Why had Jules Cauvin''s unknown correspondent gone to the trouble of having it printed? |
41186 | Why had Madame Gabrielle left for Santander when obviously San Sebastian was the real centre of the plot? |
41186 | Why on earth should the book be advertised in cryptogrammic form in a French newspaper? |
41186 | Why should I lie? |
41186 | Why should Thornton be acquainted or have anything to do with our arch- enemy, Ernst Halbmayr? |
41186 | Why these changes? |
41186 | Why? |
41186 | Will you come down to Piccadilly and have some dinner with me? |
41186 | You remember the Marx carburettor? |
41186 | You surely are not hinting that I should betray my husband''s secrets-- the naval secrets of Italy?" |
41186 | You understand?" |
41186 | You''ll come, of course?" |
45629 | A pack of timber wolves, you mean, buddy-- the big, gray chaps that can pull down a deer as easy as a mountain lion would do the job? |
45629 | Across the border-- into Canada, partner? |
45629 | Ai n''t quite forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, ol''top? 45629 Ai n''t she ready to take the air, Boss?" |
45629 | An''tell me, where do we go from Spokane? |
45629 | Another o''them slick hunches o''yourn, eh partner? |
45629 | As what, Boss? |
45629 | Awake are you, ol''hoss? |
45629 | But how could anybody know what sorter job we''re goin''to wrestle with next, even''fore we got a glimmer o''it ourselves? |
45629 | But-- I''m younger than you, Perk, spryer too-- it ought to be my game, do n''t you see? |
45629 | But-- see here Jack, you do n''t mean to let''em have the merry ha ha on us, I sure hope? 45629 Can you tie that?" |
45629 | Even if you did manage to hang on and climb inside, what good would it do-- how get the woman and child across the gap? |
45629 | Get him yet? |
45629 | Goin''to use the pontoons again, eh partner? |
45629 | How about it now? |
45629 | How''s things? |
45629 | Is n''t it about time for_ grub_? |
45629 | It''s a girl then? |
45629 | Jack, you''re meanin''to drop down, ai n''t you? |
45629 | Meanin''who, if it''s all the same to you, partner? |
45629 | Mebbe now, it might be that you could give a sorter guess''bout that job we''re goin''to have tacked on to us right away? 45629 Must be drawing close to the fur- trading post, I''d reckon, eh partner?" |
45629 | Nearly two o''clock right now-- c''n we get off this afternoon, partner? |
45629 | Okay Boss? |
45629 | Say, was you meanin''to pick out one o''these lakes for a campin''place tonight, eh, ol''hoss? |
45629 | So, that''s one of them, is it? |
45629 | Sure did, Jack, and now the next question is, can we hop off from here when the right time comes along? |
45629 | Sure you saw some one are you, Perk? |
45629 | The chase is on then, it seems, Perk; what d''ye reckon they''re after? |
45629 | This the right place? |
45629 | W- hy-- what in tarnation thunder is that big monster, Jack? |
45629 | Well, what do you think of that for a corking dodge? |
45629 | Well, what of it? |
45629 | What do you mean buddy? |
45629 | What dye s''pose them yaps think''bout us flyin''so low down over their heads like we wanted to take a peep at the mule pack train? |
45629 | What''s that, boy? |
45629 | What''s that, buddy? 45629 What''s the matter at Spokane? |
45629 | What''s the matter-- what ails you, Perk? |
45629 | What''s the name he goes by up there? |
45629 | What''s the program after we''ve cleaned up this mess, eh partner? |
45629 | When and how did this happen? |
45629 | Where bound, for the love o''mike? |
45629 | Where did you get that picture? |
45629 | Which way now, partner? |
45629 | Who cares? |
45629 | Who''s been handlin''you rough, brother? |
45629 | Why-- what-- here, what business you got takin''my property? |
45629 | Wonder what did ail the boat to make that stick go dead so you could n''t get a wiggle outen it? |
45629 | Yeah? |
45629 | Yes, what can it be, do you think, Perk? |
45629 | Yes, what is it, Perk? |
45629 | You reckon then they''ll have a lookout posted to command the approach, and get wind of any threatening danger? |
45629 | Adrian-- Adrian_ what_?" |
45629 | An''if it''s a fair question, ol''hoss,_ when_ do we cal''late to pull out o''this burg?" |
45629 | Any more light on who did that dirty, sneaky job last night, eh what?" |
45629 | Any real particular news come your way down thar in town, Jack?" |
45629 | Birdseye Baker, glad to see you''re still on deck-- ain''t forgot Gabe Perkiser, have you, Oldtimer?" |
45629 | But say, what are we goin''to do''bout this thing-- why do you strike down closer, I want to know, Jack?" |
45629 | But whatever can it be mules has got to do with coaxin''us to turn aside from our main trail, I''d like to know?" |
45629 | But, to change the subject, I''m botherin''my poor brain tryin''to figger out which way we''ll face when the orders come breezin''along?" |
45629 | Can you make the venture, lady?" |
45629 | Can you tie it for keepin''a poor feller''s nerves all on edge?" |
45629 | Did I hear you say_ mules_?" |
45629 | Did n''t he say the close season was on with all game that you c''n eat and that the Mounties might get me if I took chances and nailed that big boy? |
45629 | Do n''t I know him from his moccasins up, the queerest but straightest man in the whole Northwest Territory? |
45629 | Ever meet up with Sergeant Lowden, Perk?" |
45629 | From now on this has to be a whirlwind campaign, and no mistake-- get that, partner?" |
45629 | Have n''t forgotten that, eh, Perk old fellow?" |
45629 | How about that, Perk?" |
45629 | How about you and the boy?" |
45629 | How long will we be stickin''round this Spokane airport, I wonder?" |
45629 | How''bout it, Jack, ol''hoss?" |
45629 | How''bout it, old hoss?" |
45629 | How''bout that, Jack?" |
45629 | How''bout the place you took dinner at-- good enough to stand an encore, buddy?" |
45629 | I came up here to hunt big game and if it happens to run on two legs, why, what''s the odds? |
45629 | I''ll dream o''this for a month o''Sundays but ai n''t it a thrillin''sight though?" |
45629 | I''m set to carry along every shell I fetched up here with me-- this is the job they''re meant for, an''why be a miser''bout it?" |
45629 | III BRIDGING THE GAP"Which window, Perk?" |
45629 | Jack, that was a great snap you gave me an''chances are, Mister-- er, hey, what''s this mean?" |
45629 | Knowed it was somethin''that begun with a B, did n''t I tell you? |
45629 | Let me have my way,_ please_, partner, wo n''t you?" |
45629 | Look at that burst of flame will you? |
45629 | McGregor?" |
45629 | Might have bust our biler an''then where''d we been, tell me? |
45629 | Now I wonder if you thought to ask what her name might be?" |
45629 | Now would n''t that jar you though-- such great luck?" |
45629 | Perk seemed to catch it first, for he jumped up and broke loose by crying:"Hear that, partner? |
45629 | Perk suddenly gasped,"see that black smudge blowin''in from a side street ol''hoss? |
45629 | Reckon now there''s anythin''in that report, Jack?" |
45629 | Say, did n''t we feel a great big thrill just before making the grab? |
45629 | She''s a genuine cloud- chaser, boy, an''do n''t take any guy''s dust-- am I right''bout that, Boss?" |
45629 | So we''re meanin''to pick up a bunch o''news at Spokane, are we? |
45629 | Some o''them Bolshevik miners broke loose over in Idaho an''threatenin''to kick up general hell again like they''ve done so many times?" |
45629 | Then in addition to those chances, what if their ship became totally disabled? |
45629 | Then what''s to be done?" |
45629 | Then, as if noting the absence of Old Jimmy the factor, Perk continued, looking anxiously around:"But where''s Jimmy right now, I want to know? |
45629 | They still keep on coming though; men, women and lots of children who''d be better off at home I reckon still, what would you have? |
45629 | Under the unfortunate circumstances what can I do to further your plans, sir? |
45629 | What ails the Mounties, I wanter know, when they slip up on a job like this? |
45629 | What say to taking a turn around and getting a view from another quarter?" |
45629 | Would it be possible to make the jump from such a wretched field, with its many bumpy spots calculated to cause the moving craft to wobble fiercely? |
45629 | Would n''t that jar you, ol''hoss?" |
45629 | XIV THE BOOTLEG PACK- MULE TRAIN"What''s up?" |
45629 | ai n''t this glorious sport though?" |
45629 | an''do we expect to try an''rustle stolen mules this time? |
45629 | and do you reckon there''s any truth in what this paper says or did it jest boil up in the brain o''one o''them reporters, eh Jack ol''hoss?" |
45629 | but ai n''t life queer though?" |
45629 | but then what''d I find to worry''bout if I did n''t pick on the way we''re kept in the dark up to the last minute?" |
45629 | but this is a heap int''restin''I''m sayin'', eh Jack?" |
45629 | guess now you might mean whether they had anything to fear''bout our ship or not, eh partner?" |
45629 | guess you must mean the notched wings, eh, partner?" |
45629 | jest hear''em whoopin''things up, will you?" |
45629 | jest see the cowardly critter lope out o''here, will you, partner?" |
45629 | let me make the try, partner-- sure I c''n do such a little stunt okay-- let off, wo n''t you, Jack?" |
45629 | like I might be in a cutout-- brain all in a mixup-- what c''n we do, Boss-- knock that cop over an''skoot upstairs?" |
45629 | now ai n''t that a danged shame though?" |
45629 | now, what in thunder does all that distant racket mean?" |
45629 | partner, does it look to you like some crazy snooper set fire to the hangar under the belief that our ship was locked in there?" |
45629 | running this train in sections are they?" |
45629 | so,_ that''s_ the way the scent leads us, is it?" |
45629 | what''s all this mean? |
45629 | what''s been goin''on''round the post here, boys?" |
41435 | Are you sure it''s not a larger species of fish? |
41435 | Business? 41435 But has he not power to remove him?" |
41435 | But how is all this possible, you may ask, this feeding of Germany through neutral Scandinavian countries? 41435 Fascination for the sea?" |
41435 | For whom does Mr. Jim require it? |
41435 | How about your line of communications? |
41435 | Me? |
41435 | Now are you satisfied? |
41435 | Perhaps a cigar would cool you down a bit? |
41435 | Then what were you doing on board that trading boat in which we crossed from---- to---- last Monday? 41435 What for?" |
41435 | What is the result? 41435 Who sent you to ask for it?" |
41435 | Why not look in and see old Pedersen, the smuggler? 41435 Why should I interfere?" |
41435 | You know who we are? |
41435 | ''Can we let through consignments to So- and- So in your capital?'' |
41435 | ''You can not persuade a civilian gentleman to rise until the world has been properly aired''? |
41435 | Am I not right, sir?" |
41435 | And sport?" |
41435 | And when the goods go on from Sweden to Germany, who relieves the Swedish banks? |
41435 | And why were you disguised as a common sailorman, all dirt and grease?" |
41435 | Ascertaining that Kiel happened to be our common destination, what more natural than we should select the same hotel to stay at? |
41435 | But how? |
41435 | But what powerful mysterious motives prompted its re- adoption after it had been rejected by the House of Lords? |
41435 | But you do not give me any idea of what my duties will consist-- to whom I am to report, or how? |
41435 | Can I give him the letter for you?" |
41435 | Can we release them?'' |
41435 | Could the old smuggler have communicated possible suspicions? |
41435 | Could we have been seen at work on the harbour? |
41435 | Did she really take me for a blithering idiot, or did she entertain doubts on the matter? |
41435 | Do n''t you see where we are drifting to? |
41435 | Do you think that any nation, no matter how wealthy, can stand indefinitely such a strain on its wealth? |
41435 | Do you understand, my dear sir, what I want to convey?" |
41435 | He argued that if fate had ordained he should be blown up by a mine, instead of being drowned, what did it matter? |
41435 | He said:"Do you realise the tremendous pile of treasure we are pouring out in this contest? |
41435 | How can it be expected of him? |
41435 | How had the sign even come to be used? |
41435 | How is it that you seem to know it so well?" |
41435 | How long do you require to put your affairs in order?" |
41435 | How, when, and where had the local police or the military been led to suspect us, to hit our trail? |
41435 | I expect your paper would like to have such items of news? |
41435 | I met him as he descended the companion and asked him what he was playing at? |
41435 | If either of us, for example, were on a small island and we received a warning that a German had had orders to shift us-- what would you fear most?" |
41435 | If not an insult to them it certainly would be an insult to me, to be invited or even expected to meet in honourable(?) |
41435 | If this trade was honest and legitimate, why should these tactics be followed, and these precautions taken? |
41435 | Immediately came back the reply:"Is father really dead_ or only deceased_?" |
41435 | Is it another joke, like the whales_ with iron skins, or the spy_? |
41435 | Is it not possible that Sir Edward Grey, like the late Lord Kitchener, may not have been his own master? |
41435 | Lord Devonport added:"What has come of the much- vaunted order in Council declaring that no goods should either enter or leave Germany? |
41435 | Mr. Booth:"Is the noble Lord aware that the Germans in New York toasted the health of the Foreign Office at Christmas time?" |
41435 | Or can it be ascribed to the much- talked- of mysterious Hidden Hand? |
41435 | Or does the fault lie with the Foreign Office at home? |
41435 | Or has someone been telling you fairy tales?" |
41435 | Sir Samuel Evans: How many herrings in 50,000 tons? |
41435 | So why waste breath on these pleasure resorts?" |
41435 | Surely we must have some good and able men who do or can serve us abroad? |
41435 | The little matter of a permit for export? |
41435 | To what lengths would she be likely to go if she so decided? |
41435 | Twiggez vous?" |
41435 | Was it to be wondered at that from the soul of the Motherland prayers had so long and so often ascended? |
41435 | Was my companion everything I believed him to be? |
41435 | Was she worth a torpedo? |
41435 | Was the Government to blame for this? |
41435 | What I mean is, wherein would you be most careful, or most on your guard?" |
41435 | What are the reliefs? |
41435 | What better material could anyone wish for to help unravel a proposition like this? |
41435 | What can you mean? |
41435 | What could give more confirmatory proof? |
41435 | What could have been easier or more inexpensive than a quickly- cultivated acquaintanceship by a Secret Service agent with a person so named? |
41435 | What could we do? |
41435 | What countries would such a course of action have forced into war against us? |
41435 | What has Lord John Fisher done? |
41435 | What is the ultimate destination of these cargoes? |
41435 | What kind of business?" |
41435 | What mattered it to anyone, least of all to myself, if I crossed the Great Divide before my allotted time? |
41435 | What more simple and inexpensive than to bring about a consummation of such wishes? |
41435 | What of it? |
41435 | What on earth are you driving at? |
41435 | What possible reason could there be behind the scenes that ordered and upheld such a creed as_ Ruat coelum supprimatur veritas_? |
41435 | What use was block letter- writing to conceal identity if it was cyphered on Ambassadorial note- paper? |
41435 | What was held in the unseen hand and to whom was it extended? |
41435 | What was it? |
41435 | What would be her next step? |
41435 | What would happen next? |
41435 | Where did it come from? |
41435 | Which of the usual weapons did I prefer? |
41435 | Who had floated it? |
41435 | Who had given information and what did they really know? |
41435 | Who hesitated to question the service? |
41435 | Why did he not explain why our Fleet was not allowed to limit particular imports to neutral countries to certain fixed totals per month, or per annum? |
41435 | Why did we not do so? |
41435 | Why give a key to a gate, or a door, which could be left open? |
41435 | Why give a scrap of writing or paper of any sort? |
41435 | Why not try it now? |
41435 | Why permit such a man to come near the Embassy at all? |
41435 | Why see such a man personally? |
41435 | Why should he trouble us?" |
41435 | Why should she be noticed now, even by the most amateur belligerent, or by the freshest novice at the game? |
41435 | Why use English gold when Norwegian money was available? |
41435 | Why wait eighteen months to arrive at such a decision? |
41435 | Why were not these words used as soon as war was declared? |
41435 | Why, then, were these Ministers abroad allowed to remain in office, where they had been a laughing- stock and were apparently worse than useless? |
41435 | Why, therefore, should I now seek their lives, or to do them some serious bodily harm? |
41435 | Why, therefore, should they now seek to destroy me? |
41435 | Why? |
41435 | Why? |
41435 | Winston Churchill referred to in his memorable speech, and which has been the subject of so much surmise and comment? |
41435 | Would she remain silent, or would she make further inquiry? |
41435 | Would the Entente eventually achieve full consummation of its hopes, so devoutly to be wished? |
41435 | Would the nations involved cease their strife owing to absolute exhaustion and attrition? |
41435 | _ Was ever there such a comedy? |
41435 | who can tell how all will end? |
34344 | Ai n''t you Mr. O. K., that was out in Texas with Major J----? |
34344 | Are you both Yankee soldiers? |
34344 | Are you sure that your friends over there have not heard of your being in the army? |
34344 | Aunty,seeing that I was awake, came closer to my bed, and, in a kindly way, asked:"How is you dis mornin''?" |
34344 | But do n''t I have to pay something for the delivery? |
34344 | But, my dear boy, why did you refuse to take the oath of allegiance? 34344 But,"said the old scoundrel,"why did n''t you stay here last night?" |
34344 | Do you know Colonel Blank, of Baltimore? |
34344 | Does the Secretary want to procure any information as to General Patterson''s movements? |
34344 | How does a man feel in battle? |
34344 | How is it that your companion in the uniform ran away on the approach of our troops? |
34344 | How long have they been here? |
34344 | Is that so? 34344 It looks as if something was up, do n''t it?" |
34344 | Oh, you have passes, have you? 34344 Rd"did not seem to comprehend, and made the telegraphic signal for interrogation(?) |
34344 | Right away; do you hyar? |
34344 | Say, Baker, ai n''t you just playing off as a Dutchman? 34344 That''s enough, ai n''t it? |
34344 | What are they doing up there? |
34344 | What are they talking about so much; why do n''t they come on? |
34344 | What are you doing there? |
34344 | What did he say? |
34344 | What do they do with them? |
34344 | What regiment was your friend in? |
34344 | What shall I tell him? |
34344 | When did you see him? |
34344 | Where in---- are you going? |
34344 | Why,I said,"are we near the navy yard?" |
34344 | Yes, I know; but what soldiers? |
34344 | 121 The Sergeant kindly Gave Him the Steel 441"To Father: I am Safe; Are All Well at Home?" |
34344 | 282 Cavalry Picket on the Rappahannock 473"Colonel Mosby''s Soldiers, I Reckon, Sir?" |
34344 | 338"Bill, Ai n''t He the Fellow?" |
34344 | 66 An Interview with Parson Brownlow 304"Are You Union, or Confederate?" |
34344 | Addressing me courteously, he said:"What in the name of all that''s good brings you out on this road on such a dark night, disturbing our sleep?" |
34344 | Broome?" |
34344 | Ca n''t you go up there and see them for me?" |
34344 | Could I forget that banquet? |
34344 | Could it be possible that we were to be baffled at last? |
34344 | Dear me, what bass drums there were in General Patterson''s army; was n''t there one to each company? |
34344 | Did we catch any fish? |
34344 | Did you ever try to get into a hammock? |
34344 | Do n''t you see the''old man''is full?" |
34344 | Every person I have talked with for five minutes about Gettysburg, asks the question:"Were you there when Pickett charged?" |
34344 | He drew his chair right up in front of mine, looking me straight in the eye, as he said:"Now, my young friend, what is it that you propose?" |
34344 | He replied to my observation:"Yes; where did you come from?" |
34344 | Here are some Maryland secessionists being sent away down here to Tennessee to punish and coerce Unionists?" |
34344 | His reply to this put me off my pins entirely:"Well, why do n''t you all go to your own home in your own country?" |
34344 | How, then, could I explain this arrest to them? |
34344 | I asked only the one question--"Where do we go?" |
34344 | I made the signal for interrogation, or question, which all operators understand to mean,"I did not hear you,"or"What did you say?" |
34344 | I met at the hotel office my companion, the Colonel, who, upon seeing me, rushed over the office floor to say:"Why, where the devil have you been? |
34344 | I said more deliberately:"That message about Banks-- is there anything important?" |
34344 | I spoke first, with the desperation of an outlaw challenging a helpless traveler:"Are you Union or Confederate?" |
34344 | In a voice trembling with suppressed rage, he said, looking savagely at me:"Did n''t you see me at the theater the other night?" |
34344 | Instead of that, however, in a quiet, slow- speaking voice, I suggested involuntarily:"How about the Monitor and Merrimac?" |
34344 | Is n''t he just too nice?" |
34344 | It may also be asked why I bring this subject up at this late date, and after Hancock''s death? |
34344 | It must have been a violent shock to father, but why should I so write and rouse within all of you the bitter renewal of your grief? |
34344 | Making an appearance at the head of the stairway, she asked, pleasantly:"What in the world is the matter with you?" |
34344 | Never turning my head, I was walking on hurriedly when the blamed fool sang out after me so everybody could hear:"What?" |
34344 | Of course, I must have imagined the worst; who would not have done so under the same conditions? |
34344 | SKETCHING, ARE YOU?"] |
34344 | Sketching, Are You?" |
34344 | Superintendent here?" |
34344 | The Colonel said:"You have a letter to send home I am told?" |
34344 | The Colonel, who was the jolly fellow of this trio, said, laughingly:"Hello, boy, what have you been up to?" |
34344 | The General, without halting his slow movement, gruffly said:"Where is Slocum?" |
34344 | The first words the brass tongue of the instrument sounded to his startled ears were:"I am O. K."--this was my telegraphic signal--"Who are you?" |
34344 | The hint was sufficient, and to my hurried inquiry:"Are there any cavalrymen at the house?" |
34344 | The man on duty at the door looked at me with disgust as he said:"That''s no damned doctor, man; do n''t you know General Meade?" |
34344 | The officer now began to get mad and, in a commanding tone, inquired:"What is your business, sir, with the General?" |
34344 | The only consolation I got from the officer was,"Can your horse stand it? |
34344 | Then Lanyard with a contemptuous look, turned to Baker and said:"Say, Dutchy, you blasted rascal, you played me for a marine, did n''t you?" |
34344 | Then she added, laughing heartily as she spoke:"Did n''t you hear him slam the door?" |
34344 | Then taking my arm, familiarly, said:"Come along, the boys will all be glad to see you?" |
34344 | Then the old lady chipped in with:"Shall I send Mammy to help you bathe it with warm water, before you go to bed?" |
34344 | Then, in an undertone,"Are you all alone?" |
34344 | To gratify the General, and get around the question, I asked:"Is it''Rd?''" |
34344 | To his sleepy growl of"Who''s there?" |
34344 | Under the circumstances, what could I do? |
34344 | Under the circumstances, what else could I do but take this advantage of the good people? |
34344 | Was n''t there a Rebel camp near Leesburg, or was that the name of the town near that mountain? |
34344 | We passed the two men-- one of whom was in uniform-- and as we did so, I heard one of them, say:"That''s him, ai n''t it?" |
34344 | Were they going back to their Rebel camps? |
34344 | What are you doing? |
34344 | What can I do for you? |
34344 | What could I do? |
34344 | What could have been better for my purpose? |
34344 | What did I do? |
34344 | What did I do? |
34344 | What would have been the result,_ if_ Meade had been supported by Franklin, when he broke Stonewall Jackson''s line at Fredericksburg? |
34344 | What would you have done? |
34344 | When Covode crawled into the carriage, Mr. Moorehead said,"Well, what''s the programme?" |
34344 | When handing the paper back to the clerk, he remarked jocularly:"They have made you sign a mighty tight paper, have n''t they?" |
34344 | When he stopped his conversation long enough to hear me, he simply said, in his polite, kindly way:"Well, you come in and see me again, wo n''t you?" |
34344 | Where is Slocum now? |
34344 | Where is he?" |
34344 | Where shall your answer be delivered?" |
34344 | Who are you?" |
34344 | Who in---- are you, anyhow?" |
34344 | Who is it?" |
34344 | Why did n''t I get ahead of them? |
34344 | Why did n''t you say something to me before? |
34344 | Will you please give me your name?" |
34344 | With my own hand trembling on the telegraph key I sent my own message, as follows:"To father: I am here safe; are all well at home?" |
34344 | You do n''t know what that is? |
34344 | [ Illustration: TAPPING THE TELEGRAPH WIRE.--"ARE THE YANKS IN FREDERICKSBURG?"] |

45973 | Did yeou hear it? |
45973 | Dinner knocking harder than customary; or did you get a letter from your best girl, breaking off the engagement? 45973 Does that mean he might be fetchin''a last hour message, Jack?" |

45973 | Then what_ does_ ail you, boy-- something gone wrong with your plans-- can I do anything to ease the strain? 45973 Then you recognize it from the brief description he gave on the side of his tissue- paper chart, do you, Perk?" |

45973 | What''s that, partner? |
45973 | Which tree? |
45973 | Which would mean we got some hours to kill,''fore mornin''comes along to give us a show fur aour money, eh, Jack, ole boy? |
45973 | Why not, when they''ve pulled off some mighty big shake- downs during the last few months, and must have raked in a heap of dough? 45973 Why waste any more time when there''s no need?" |
45973 | Wonder what time it kin be, Jack; caint get a peep at my wrist watch in all this darkness, yeou know? |
45973 | Yeah, yeou said it, partner-- I kinder guess naow it was a ship up here in this same sea we''re buzzin''through, do n''t yeou? |
45973 | Yeou doant kinder guess Simeon he might give us away in his excitement, eh, partner? |
45973 | Yeou says as haow yeou knowed this guy Simeon some, did n''t yeou, partner? |
45973 | Yeou_ would_ do jest that, ole pal, would n''t yeou? 45973 You mean that sound in the fog pack, do n''t you?" |
45973 | You seem to know some one, Perk, from what you''re saying? |
45973 | You''re going to know everything that I do, Perk; that goes without question; for how could we work together as a team if we pulled contrarywise? |
45973 | Ai nt that time come''raound yet, buddy?" |
45973 | And then, when they had a good grist of bogus stuff to scatter over the western country, how easy to send it out aboard that swift airship? |
45973 | But I wonder--""What do you wonder, Perk?" |
45973 | But did yeou happen to hear a ship takin''off jest after we slid aout, boss?" |
45973 | But like as not we orter be makin''up aour plans, had n''t we, Jack?" |
45973 | But the devil of it is, can he ever be retaken? |
45973 | CHAPTER VIII THE WINGED MESSENGER"Coast seems to be clear, eh, Jack?" |
45973 | CHAPTER XXV SQUATTERS''RIGHTS"Yeou doan''t reckon as haow anybody kin see a fire, if so be I started a little blaze back in here, do yeou, partner?" |
45973 | Do we get a move on right away, mate?" |
45973 | Forgive it, Perk, wo nt you?" |
45973 | Get out, and stay out, d''ye hear, boy?" |
45973 | Get that, do you?" |
45973 | Get that, pard?" |
45973 | Goin''doawn, are yeou, Jack?" |
45973 | Haow dye like that swipe, I''m askin''o''yeou,--a sweet upper- cut I got a copyright on? |
45973 | Haow far''bout do yeou figger goin''on this tack, I want to know?" |
45973 | Haow''bout the next move, sense it seems we''ve got this far okay?" |
45973 | Honest Injun, neow, Jack, ai n''t yeou any idea when we''re apt to grab an order to get goin''again?" |
45973 | How about it, Perk?" |
45973 | How yeou gittin''on with things, Jack?" |
45973 | How''bout the kid-- dye kinder guess he''ll have a bad time with that leg?" |
45973 | I get yeou, buddy-- meanin''the queer pass that''s so narrow three hossmen could n''t enter abreast-- is that straight, Jack?" |
45973 | I see you''re trying to keep him from swilling it down, Perk; must have some object in letting the stuff run all over his back as you''re doing?" |
45973 | I wonder neow could it be them gluttonus birds they been pickin''the bones o''thet poor Simeon what disappeared''raound this section o''kentry? |
45973 | I wonder--""What neow, Jack?" |
45973 | If it keeps on we''ll be apt to forget heow to handle a ship, an''get air shy-- neow_ would n''t_ that same be a tough joke on us poor guys?" |
45973 | Lay off, partner, an''gimme a run fur my money, wo n''t yeou?" |
45973 | Naow, what''s next on the programme, tell me?" |
45973 | Put your arms around my neck, and I''ll be able to hold you better-- that''s the way, kiddie; you know I''m a good friend of yours, do n''t you?" |
45973 | Ready to start on aour way, be yeou, partner?" |
45973 | S''pose it does that same, what''s bound to happen to us dicks runnin''wild up here, I want to know?" |
45973 | See anybody yeou happens to know''round here partner?" |
45973 | Some galoots air built that way, yeou savvy? |
45973 | Think that happy day ever will come, Jack?" |
45973 | We could n''t play our hands if the man we want so badly has gone off with his crowd, to hold up some bank, or treasure train, could we? |
45973 | We jest got to do aour best, an''leave the rest-- aint I been adoin''that same mighty near all my whole life? |
45973 | What could it all mean, I wonder?" |
45973 | What in tarnation kin_ he_ be doin''out this way-- yeou do n''t figger he''s goin''to butt in on aour job, do yeou?" |
45973 | What''s the answer, Jack?" |
45973 | Who knows where he lives?" |
45973 | Yeou ai n''t agoin''to stagger me by sayin''that this here cook might be_ him_?" |
45973 | Yeou mean that boob was no other than Slippery Slim hisself, the Ole Scratch we''re runnin''after right at this minute, doant yeou, partner mine? |
45973 | ai nt it awful thick, though?" |
45973 | allers is some kinder drawback to every game I hatch up-- we ai nt got any rope fur a fack; which is too bad, ai nt it? |
45973 | baby, ai nt the fur bound to fly when I get workin''my jaws reg''lar onct again?" |
45973 | boy?" |

45973 | but_ did_ yeou ever hear o''sech great luck in all yeour born days? |
45973 | c''n yeou beat it, partner?" |
45973 | did yeou_ ever_ see sech a buster o''a bar?" |
45973 | do n''t be so het up an''greedy, Mister; I sure ai nt atryin''to get yeou soaked-- seems like he''s quite took to the bottle, do n''t it, Jack?" |
45973 | doant it beat the Dutch, Jack, haow chumps like that kin lick up all the cream on a pan o''milk, leavin''the skim stuff to honest folks? |
45973 | does that mean yeou got a squint o''somethin''worth while, partner?" |
45973 | he muttered, just loud enough for Jack to hear him,"so_ that''s_ what took ole Nat outen San Diego, was it? |
45973 | ole boy, do yeou smell it a''ready, to be makin''sech faces at me? |
45973 | partner, does that same mean we kin get started this very night to make contact with Simeon?" |
45973 | that''s a familiar sound I''m picking up, eh, what, Perk?" |
45973 | then yeou been a nosin''''raound this queer hole back o''the cliff, an''mebbe run acrost somethin''wuth knowin'', eh, what, partner?" |

45973 | wake me up somebody, wo nt yeou kindly?" |
45973 | what''s in the wind now, I want to know?" |
45973 | why caint a gink do a simple thing like we done without people wantin''to gush over him? |
45973 | why did yeou ever mention sech a thing, Pal Jack? |
34973 | A secret organization? |
34973 | Ah, a younger brother? |
34973 | Ah? |
34973 | All right,said Webster, immeasurably relieved,"but how do we manage it?" |
34973 | An''dat young leddy am gwine to meet somebody, mebbe her husband, at de landin''? |
34973 | An''you cum frum Richmun''dis mo''nin? |
34973 | And if I am,said Scobell,"what do you want?" |
34973 | And what if he is in the Federal army? 34973 Are you quite sure of that?" |
34973 | Are you still keeping mum? |
34973 | Are you subject to fits? |
34973 | Are your names Lewis and Scully? |
34973 | Arms? 34973 Bill Zigler, what are you doing here? |
34973 | But about the authorities--I asked--"is there no danger to be apprehended from them?" |
34973 | But how can that interfere with the election? |
34973 | But what can we do? |
34973 | But what crime has the stranger committed, that he should thus be taken into custody? |
34973 | But where are you from? |
34973 | But,said I,"have all the plans been matured, and are there no fears of failure? |
34973 | Captain,said Mr. Scott, addressing him,"will you give me the particulars of the arrest of this man?" |
34973 | Did he ask anything about me? |
34973 | Did you come from the Yanks? |
34973 | Did you ever see it done? |
34973 | Did you see any one last evening who is inimical to the cause of the government? |
34973 | Did you speak to me, sir? |
34973 | Do n''t offer to touch me, Dan McCowan, or I''ll----"What would you do, now? |
34973 | Do you know anything about the hotels there? |
34973 | Do you know anything of McClellan''s plans for an advance? |
34973 | Do you know this man, and that he is all right? |
34973 | Do you know whether your mistress writes to any one besides her husband? |
34973 | Do you suppose,added Webster,"that Kentucky will allow the Northern army to march through the State without showing fight?" |
34973 | Drivers? 34973 Great G-- d, Webster, how did you manage to get away from the Yanks?" |
34973 | Have the objects of the league been fully explained to him? |
34973 | Have you arms enough for all of them? |
34973 | Have you no more sense than to reveal yourself_ here_? 34973 His name?" |
34973 | How did that occur? |
34973 | How did you get through the Union lines? |
34973 | How did you manage to get inside the camp? |
34973 | How do the men who operate the machine manage to attach the magazine to the vessel they design to destroy? |
34973 | How do you account for General McClellan''s''masterly inactivity''during all these months that his army lay at Washington? |
34973 | How far is it to Wilson''s landing? |
34973 | How often do you meet? |
34973 | I am ready now, Major,said he, cheerily,"have you any further commands?" |
34973 | I am, eh? |
34973 | I can readily believe that,said the detective,"but if it is so dangerous here, how am I going to deliver these letters?" |
34973 | I dun spose you''s on de way to Yu''ktown? |
34973 | I thought you would come to your senses at last; but when did you come down here? |
34973 | I understand; but who is this John Hart you mention-- can we trust him? |
34973 | I want to telegraph to the_ Herald_,said the second correspondent--"what is the use of obtaining news if we can not utilize it?" |
34973 | In Washington, sah,replied Uncle Gallus;"don''you remember you saw me at Majah Allen''s, when I was dah libin wid Missus Morton?" |
34973 | Is Mrs. Morton in communication with her husband? |
34973 | Is it a conspiracy to betray me into the hands of the enemy? |
34973 | Is it a success? |
34973 | Is n''t that a little severe? |
34973 | Is the landlady all right? |
34973 | Is there a new sensation this morning? |
34973 | Is there no way of getting over about here at all? |
34973 | Is your name John Hart? |
34973 | It does not look very favorable for my reaching Washington to- morrow, then? |
34973 | May I ask where you are from? |
34973 | May I see him before he is taken away? |
34973 | Names? |
34973 | No doubt of it, Doctor; but how do you expect to get two hours''notice? |
34973 | No, I do n''t remember you,said Webster, determined to ascertain whether the old darky did know him;"where have you ever seen me?" |
34973 | Now,he exclaimed, turning to Curtis,"What is your business? |
34973 | On the word and honor of a gentleman? |
34973 | See heah now, is yure name John? |
34973 | Severe? 34973 So soon?" |
34973 | So you want me to take you to Fredericksburg, do you? |
34973 | The gentleman is up- stairs in my room,said Earl;"will you go up now and see him?" |
34973 | Then you do n''t want to be free? |
34973 | This is bad news about Lewis and Scully, is n''t it? |
34973 | This is infamous,exclaimed Webster;"what can Winder mean by arresting this woman, and what am I charged with that renders your orders necessary?" |
34973 | To go where? |
34973 | Under arrest? 34973 Was he an officer?" |
34973 | Was the landlady looking for us too? |
34973 | We heard you had been taken prisoner-- how did you get out so soon? |
34973 | Well, John,said Webster at length,"what is the prospect for crossing the river to- night?" |
34973 | Well, then,smiled Webster,"I suppose I will have to wait his pleasure; but ca n''t a fellow get a little whisky and cigar? |
34973 | Well, uncle,said Webster, as the old man caught up to him--"did you speak to me?" |
34973 | Well, what is it, Miss Harcourt? 34973 Well,"said Webster,"will you be kind enough to send for Mr. McPhail, and ask him to telegraph to Major Allen, and inquire if Tim is all right?" |
34973 | What Major Allen is that? |
34973 | What crime have I committed? |
34973 | What do you desire? |
34973 | What do you mean, sir? |
34973 | What do you mean, you scoundrel? |
34973 | What do you mean? |
34973 | What does this mean? |
34973 | What for? |
34973 | What has become of your assailants? |
34973 | What has happened to frighten you so? |
34973 | What have you got to sell? |
34973 | What is his name? |
34973 | What is it? |
34973 | What is the matter, Jem? |
34973 | What is the matter? |
34973 | What is your business? |
34973 | What is your hour of meeting? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your native State, Uncle Gallus? |
34973 | What is your society called? |
34973 | What makes you think so? |
34973 | What makes you think that? |
34973 | What regiment does he belong to? |
34973 | What''s this? |
34973 | When did this occur? |
34973 | When do you propose to let us out? |
34973 | When will your next meeting be held? |
34973 | Where do you live? |
34973 | Where from? |
34973 | Where to? |
34973 | Which is which? |
34973 | Which way is he going? |
34973 | Who do you want to see there? |
34973 | Who is he? |
34973 | Who is it? |
34973 | Who should assume the task of liberating the nation of the foul presence of the abolitionist leader? |
34973 | Whom have you here? |
34973 | Why could n''t I go, too? |
34973 | Why did n''t you tell them that, when they called out to you before? |
34973 | Why do you think so? |
34973 | Why do you think so? |
34973 | Why, Mr. Pinkerton, what are you doing here? |
34973 | Why, Webster, how do you do? 34973 Why, Webster, is that you?" |
34973 | Why,I interrupted,"what can they know about Lincoln?" |
34973 | Why,replied his friend, laughingly,"have n''t you heard of the subterranean headquarters?" |
34973 | Yes,said Scobell;"but how do you know these things? |
34973 | You are a Northern man? |
34973 | You are going to Humboldt? |
34973 | You do n''t tell me that you took the oath, Sam? |
34973 | You have been a slave all your life, I understand? |
34973 | You have news for me,said Webster, impatiently;"what is it?" |
34973 | You l- licked''em like the d- d- devil at Williamsburgh, d- d- d- didn''t you? |
34973 | You will not tell him what you know of Webster, and his connection with this matter, will you? |
34973 | You''ll come back? |
34973 | You''se de man dat I''dressed, sah-- done you know me? |
34973 | Your age and weight? |
34973 | Your mistress intends to return to the South, then? |
34973 | Your name is Gallus? |
34973 | After a few minutes a window was raised and a voice inquired angrily:"Who are you, and what do you want?" |
34973 | After waiting a short time, and hearing no response, he added:"What''d you say? |
34973 | Ai n''t them your s- s- sentiments?" |
34973 | And another voice, further away, cried:"Who''s there?" |
34973 | And who is the man who arrested him?" |
34973 | As he entered the cell where Webster was reclining upon his couch, he roughly accosted him:"Webster you have sent for me; what is it that you desire?" |
34973 | At these words, Scobell stepped forward and said in a low voice:"Do you belong to the League?" |
34973 | At this point the question might be asked, whose plan should have been followed? |
34973 | Bingerdon?" |
34973 | But how will I get there?" |
34973 | Can you attend to this?" |
34973 | Catching the drift of the conversation, Webster stepped forward and said:"I beg pardon, sir; will you permit me to ask one question?" |
34973 | Could it be that they were Webster and his faithful attendant Mrs. Lawton? |
34973 | Did he suspect them? |
34973 | Do n''t you see I''m rounding to?" |
34973 | Do n''t you see that in another moment you''ll have us beached?" |
34973 | Do you know gentlemen, I suspected you were all wrong from the start, and you were not keen enough to impose your story upon me? |
34973 | Do you know where he is?" |
34973 | Do you think you can manage it for them?" |
34973 | Feeling alarmed lest the helmsman was not attending to his duty, my son yelled:"Captain, what under heaven do you mean? |
34973 | Filled with curiosity as to the identity of the man, Webster carelessly observed to the landlord:"That fellow seemed a little nervous, does n''t he?" |
34973 | Has anybody been here to see you?" |
34973 | Have you any objections?" |
34973 | Have you heard the news?" |
34973 | How am I going to do it?" |
34973 | How to intercede in their behalf? |
34973 | How, therefore, to arrange his plans, so that these papers would be intercepted and the ambassador detained without arousing his suspicion? |
34973 | I am glad to see you; when did you get back to Baltimore?" |
34973 | Immediately a guarded voice on the inside was heard:"Are you white?" |
34973 | Linkum am a- comin''by''m- bye; Did you ebber see a niggah gal dancin''in de moonlight? |
34973 | May I ask your name, sir?" |
34973 | On nearing Gloucester Point, they were hailed by a sentinel, with the usual challenge:"Who comes there?" |
34973 | On one of these occasions Governor Owens eyed his companion sharply a moment, and then asked:"Can I trust you, sir?" |
34973 | Presently he heard a shrill whistle from his conductor, which was replied to from above with the query:"Who comes?" |
34973 | Raising himself to his full height, he exclaimed:"Rome had her Brutus, why should not we? |
34973 | Seward?" |
34973 | Some one in the party remarked:"Are there no other means of saving the South except by assassination?" |
34973 | Stepping directly up to Price Lewis, he addressed him:"Do n''t you remember me?" |
34973 | The absorbing and exciting question in the South was:"Would the South submit to a Black Republican President and a Black Republican Congress?" |
34973 | The driver suddenly pulled up his horses, and then the soldier, in a tone of authority:"Who are you, and where are you going?" |
34973 | The gruff- voiced speaker then said:"Mr. Webster, is it your desire to become a member of this knightly band?" |
34973 | The question to be decided this evening was:"Who should do the deed?" |
34973 | The work is light-- now what do you say?" |
34973 | There seemed to be several persons here, and a voice, that was evidently meant to be tragical and impressive, demanded:"Whom have we here?" |
34973 | These questions were properly answered, and as the clerk was noting them he asked,"Might I ask what was the gentleman''s good luck?" |
34973 | They were about to take these from him, when Webster inquired:"Who was the man who arrested me this morning?" |
34973 | This answer seemed to infuriate the man, and striding up to Webster, he asked, with an air of impertinence:"Are you a Southern man?" |
34973 | Wallace?" |
34973 | What then? |
34973 | What was to be done? |
34973 | What, then, is your true name?" |
34973 | Where had he met this darky before? |
34973 | Who can blame this man? |
34973 | Who can tell the thoughts that thronged through their brains, as the slow moving hours advanced toward the dawn? |
34973 | Who comes there?" |
34973 | Who, that has stood before the frowning scaffold, and with a free world before him, can utter words of censure? |
34973 | Will there, now, eh?" |
34973 | Will you drink her health with me?" |
34973 | You are not in earnest, Major?" |
34973 | You know stages are robbed out this way?" |
34973 | You noticed that man standing in the hall when we came in, the same one now sitting at the desk?" |
34973 | You''re_ here_, are you? |
34973 | and if so, by what means had he discovered who they were and what their destination was? |
34973 | exclaimed Lawton, as they came up,"are you hurt?" |
34973 | he continued,"and what is the news from the Monumental City?" |
34973 | how are you?" |
34973 | said the clerk, driving away with his pen;"will you be so good as to ask Mr. Mallory to step this way?" |
34973 | you were afraid of them, were you, and ran away?" |
15302 | ''Pon my soul,he grinned,"you seem to be able to act on a hint, do n''t you?" |
15302 | ''Well'', I said,''did it bite you or sayGott strafe England?" |
15302 | ''When I read the writing,''he told me,''I think he is all robbish, but then I ask myself, Who shall put robbish in my invoices? 15302 ''You mean the Emperor?'' |
15302 | About that size? |
15302 | After all, why not? |
15302 | An American citizen? |
15302 | And Clubfoot? |
15302 | And Desmond? |
15302 | And after? |
15302 | And if I had? |
15302 | And the third man you spoke of? |
15302 | And then? |
15302 | And those soldiers and that officer? |
15302 | Another glass of wine? 15302 Are Grundt and Schmalz going?" |
15302 | Are they all going beating? |
15302 | Are you English? |
15302 | Boonekamp? |
15302 | But Clubfoot,I asked,"who is he?" |
15302 | But can you trust him? |
15302 | But did n''t he tell you where he was going? |
15302 | But how can I get away from here? |
15302 | But how did you know we had the remaining portion of the letter? |
15302 | But then what does all the rest of it mean... all this about Achilles and the rest? |
15302 | But was he a deserter? |
15302 | But who is Clubfoot? |
15302 | But who is Stelze that he should give orders to me? |
15302 | But why''Achilles''with one''l''? |
15302 | But your chauffeur,I said,"what will he do?" |
15302 | But, Des,she said,"what do you want me to do?" |
15302 | But, Monica,I cried,"what about you?" |
15302 | But, see here, Richard Allerton,I said,"Francis would never spell''Achilles''with one''l''... now, would he?" |
15302 | By the way? |
15302 | Can I be of any assistance to you? 15302 Can you contrive to have Johann out of the house between 10 and 12:30 to- morrow morning?" |
15302 | Can you tell me where I can find him? |
15302 | Can you tell me where the booking- office is? |
15302 | Coming at eight is he? |
15302 | Could you get away back to the house by 12.30? |
15302 | Could you meet me alone anywhere outside at that time? |
15302 | Dear Herbert,I wrote,"would you mind looking after the enclosed until you hear from me again? |
15302 | Desmond? |
15302 | Did it work all right, sir? |
15302 | Do I give orders that they shall be forgotten? 15302 Do you hear the patrols?" |
15302 | Do you know what happened to those two gallant fellows? |
15302 | Do you know who had Kore arrested and shot? 15302 Do you know why Schmalz is here?" |
15302 | Do you mean arrested? |
15302 | Does the gentleman want it now? |
15302 | Dr. Grundt? 15302 Eichenholz? |
15302 | Francis,I said softly... and I spoke in German..."Francis, do n''t you know me?" |
15302 | Frau Gräfin? |
15302 | Good God, how can you be so shiftless? 15302 Had n''t we better truss him up?" |
15302 | Has it occurred to you, Herr Doktor,I asked,"that we have very little time at our disposal? |
15302 | Has n''t Meyer been registered with the police yet? |
15302 | Has the gentleman an appointment? |
15302 | Has the gentleman no little difficulty perhaps? 15302 Have n''t you really a corner? |
15302 | Have you a car here? |
15302 | Have you had an accident? |
15302 | He was an English officer, you see? |
15302 | Heard anything, you? |
15302 | How are you, Okewood? |
15302 | How do you like my idea? |
15302 | How many servants will there be in the house to- morrow? |
15302 | How? 15302 I am very late for my train, my friend,"I said,"would you get me a third- class single for Düsseldorf?" |
15302 | If us could drar his''tention away, yew could slip by, next time the patrols is past, could n''t''ee? |
15302 | Is Herr Eugen Kore at home? |
15302 | Is it a man''s name, a place? 15302 Is that Carter?" |
15302 | It''d be worse for yew than for me, supposin''yew''d be ca- art, that''s what t''other officer said, warn''t it? |
15302 | It''s worthless... what good do you think is this to me? |
15302 | Josef, where did you see that story you were telling me about an English spy assaulting a man at the Esplanade last night? |
15302 | Kore? |
15302 | Looks bad for me, does n''t it? 15302 May one come in?" |
15302 | Not a deserter, Herr? |
15302 | Now, what are we going to do with this? |
15302 | Perhaps you knew Francis? |
15302 | Philip Brewster? 15302 Pretty fair specimen of Prussian cynicism?" |
15302 | Seen anything? |
15302 | Shall I tell you what was in that telegram they just brought me? 15302 Shot?" |
15302 | So Stelze called to- day and gave you his orders, did he? |
15302 | So,I said,"he is going to take..._ it_ on with him, is he?" |
15302 | Surely you forget our gracious hostess, our most charming Countess? 15302 Terms?" |
15302 | That? |
15302 | The Berlin train has gone, Herr Doktor, but..."The Berlin train gone? |
15302 | The gentleman would doubtless like a German house? |
15302 | The maids too? |
15302 | The word? |
15302 | Then Tracy and the others...? |
15302 | Then where are they? |
15302 | Then you expected me to come after you? |
15302 | There be a feller a- watching for us up there? |
15302 | This your brother? 15302 To make a long story short, Herr Doktor... how much?" |
15302 | Trouble with Haase again? |
15302 | Two? 15302 Want a good, cheap hotel, sir? |
15302 | Want a guide, sir? |
15302 | Was it you or your brother,she asked abruptly,"who nearly broke my poor girl''s heart?" |
15302 | Well, Herr Doktor,he said,"do you want me to start the bidding? |
15302 | Well, what is it; what is it? |
15302 | Well, where? |
15302 | Well, young man, did it work? |
15302 | Well? |
15302 | Well? |
15302 | Well? |
15302 | What affair do you mean? |
15302 | What am I to do at the end of that time? |
15302 | What did they say? |
15302 | What do you mean? |
15302 | What do you suggest then? |
15302 | What have you done with Grundt? 15302 What is Clubfoot going to do about him?" |
15302 | What is Grundt doing here? |
15302 | What is Schmalz jabbering about now? |
15302 | What is this I hear? |
15302 | What of him? |
15302 | What time is the shoot to- morrow? |
15302 | What''s all this rigmarole got to do with Francis, Dicky? |
15302 | What''s this I hear, Monica? |
15302 | What? 15302 When was this?" |
15302 | Where did the Dutchman''s packet of stuff come from? |
15302 | Where shall we find the two halves? |
15302 | Where shall you be staying? |
15302 | Who are you? 15302 Who are you?" |
15302 | Who is he? 15302 Who is it? |
15302 | Who is...? |
15302 | Why did n''t you say that at once? |
15302 | Why do men always take us women to be fools? |
15302 | Why has not Grundt come? 15302 Why not?" |
15302 | Why? |
15302 | You are going to Berlin? |
15302 | You come in here from nowhere, you introduce yourself as Meyer; you ask me''Who?'' 15302 You do n''t know me, do you? |
15302 | You have a light? |
15302 | You have not got an hotel yet? |
15302 | You mean the south entrance? |
15302 | You mean? |
15302 | You smoke? |
15302 | You too? |
15302 | You will be quiet and come in here, do you understand? |
15302 | You wo n''t catch any Deutschers fooling Mary Prendergast,said the jovial lady in the bed;"but, children, what next?" |
15302 | You''ve got your pistol? 15302 _ Know_ him,"I repeated,"_ know_ him then... then you think... you have reason to believe he is still alive...?" |
15302 | _ What, then, of the other two phrases? 15302 ... about his military service, about his papers? 15302 A Frenchman, eh? |
15302 | A special? |
15302 | Am I not thoughtful to have prepared this little surprise for you? |
15302 | And Herbert Arbuthnot? |
15302 | And Philip Brewster? |
15302 | And what good did they do me? |
15302 | And who settled Schulte? |
15302 | And who settled the other man? |
15302 | And, above all, was Monica herself at the Castle? |
15302 | Are you ready?" |
15302 | Are you unwell?" |
15302 | As we entered, a petulant voice cried:"Is that you, Monica? |
15302 | But Francis? |
15302 | But had I the right to sacrifice Monica? |
15302 | But what prospect had he of ever returning-- with the frontiers closed and ingress and egress practically barred even to pro- German neutrals? |
15302 | But why did n''t this English spy make a job of it and kill the scum? |
15302 | But why up here? |
15302 | By the way, you''ll have to be registered? |
15302 | Can I have a word with you?" |
15302 | Can you arrange it?" |
15302 | Can you beat it?" |
15302 | Did he ever long for the sweets of home life? |
15302 | Did he never envy those who have been medically rejected? |
15302 | Did you come by train?" |
15302 | Do you know what happened to the interpreter at the internment camp, who was our go- between, who played us false by cutting the document in half? |
15302 | Do you know what happened to the man that stole that document? |
15302 | Do you remember Meinhardt, Franz? |
15302 | Do you remember him? |
15302 | Do you suppose we care a fig for all the American ambassadors that ever left the States? |
15302 | Do you think he''ll recognize me?" |
15302 | Do you think you can trifle with the might of the German Empire? |
15302 | Do you think you could get me one?" |
15302 | Do you understand that? |
15302 | Does he know German?" |
15302 | Eichenholz?" |
15302 | First, what did you do for my brother?" |
15302 | Four thousand? |
15302 | Grundt?" |
15302 | Had I seen the fellow before? |
15302 | Had I the nerve to avail myself of Semlin''s American passport to get into Germany? |
15302 | Had it not been for that circumstance, I should scarcely have ventured to intrude upon her widowhood....""Her widowhood?" |
15302 | Has my sister seen about it yet?" |
15302 | Have I made myself clear?" |
15302 | Have you given her your papers? |
15302 | Have you no idea? |
15302 | He''s a very conventional man and his principles would never hear of me harbouring a... a...""Spy?" |
15302 | How can we serve the gentleman now? |
15302 | How d''ye do?" |
15302 | How was he living at Düsseldorf? |
15302 | I interrupted swiftly,"have you any place to hide me? |
15302 | I know nothing about German, but tell me, is that the hand of an educated German? |
15302 | I met him outside and brought him right in here, as I know you would want me to, would n''t you, dear?" |
15302 | I said quickly in German:"What do you want with me? |
15302 | I said,"and... and took charge of things generally, eh?" |
15302 | I speak amongst ourselves, is it not so, gentlemen? |
15302 | I think we should keep away from the Rhine, do n''t you? |
15302 | If you look you will see plenty of plain- clothes Huns, too....""Guides?" |
15302 | In that case, why is he not here?" |
15302 | Is it Francis''handwriting?" |
15302 | Is that clear?" |
15302 | It failed?" |
15302 | It was then that Dr. Grundt decided to send me....""You''ve got it with you?" |
15302 | Jack Tracy? |
15302 | Let us go to an hotel together, shall we?" |
15302 | Meyer? |
15302 | Meyer?" |
15302 | Might I offer the Herr Doktor a glass of beer and a sandwich at our officers''casino here?" |
15302 | Might not in these two phrases be hidden an address at which one might find Francis, or at the worst, hear news of him? |
15302 | Might not these numerals refer to the number of a street? |
15302 | No? |
15302 | Nothing? |
15302 | Now that I was on leave, if I were fit to travel, would I come to Groningen and see him? |
15302 | Now will you do one thing more-- the hardest of all? |
15302 | Now, another question... how many soldiers have you here?" |
15302 | Now, have you any suggestions?" |
15302 | Or did der Stelze send him?" |
15302 | Or what?'' |
15302 | Perhaps what?" |
15302 | Say, am I to be left alone all the morning?" |
15302 | Semlin?" |
15302 | Semlin?" |
15302 | Should I tell him the truth now? |
15302 | Supposing, then, that this had happened to Francis( as, indeed, Red Tabs had hinted to me was the case) what course would he adopt? |
15302 | That cigar is good, is it not? |
15302 | That he was arrested, that he was going to be shot? |
15302 | That sounds like a taunt, do n''t you think, Dicky?" |
15302 | That vast, black edifice, that slender tower at the corner-- did I not know them? |
15302 | The English shot_ him_ too, on account of what was found in letters that came to him openly through the post? |
15302 | The coast was clear, if I wanted to escape, but where could I go, without a paper or passport, a hunted man? |
15302 | The fourth? |
15302 | The gentleman is young and strong... has he been to the front? |
15302 | The gentleman''s papers? |
15302 | The rich men''s sons, perhaps, with clever fathers who know how to get what they want?" |
15302 | The third? |
15302 | Then he said curtly to a cringing secretary beside him:"Has he been searched?" |
15302 | Then he said suavely:"But has the stratagem succeeded, Your Majesty?" |
15302 | Then you know, I left him....""But, Monica,"I exclaimed,"what are you doing here then?" |
15302 | Then, to Plessen, he added in a voice from which all mirth had vanished, in accents of gloom:"At this hour, Plessen? |
15302 | Three? |
15302 | To whom was I thus bidden, secretly, in the night? |
15302 | Was he going away? |
15302 | Was it not thanks to the interest she deigned to take in your safety that I came here? |
15302 | Was it stand- to so soon? |
15302 | Was it the thick black hair, the small dark moustache? |
15302 | Was it the well- chiselled mouth? |
15302 | Was life irksome there? |
15302 | We had to separate and he sent me on ahead....""But... but..."--the man was stammering now in his anxiety--"... you succeeded?" |
15302 | What are his requirements? |
15302 | What are you doing here?" |
15302 | What did the man mean by his veiled allusions to"all who interfere in other people''s business?" |
15302 | What did we manufacture? |
15302 | What do you mean? |
15302 | What do you think of that?" |
15302 | What do you want in Germany? |
15302 | What do you want me to do?" |
15302 | What guarantee was there, I asked, that she would not be detained before she reached the frontier? |
15302 | What if he knew more than he seemed to know? |
15302 | What is the use of my hiring you to read the papers to me if you ca n''t find news that''s spread all over the place? |
15302 | What mutual guarantees could we exchange that would give each of us the assurance of fair play? |
15302 | What the devil has the guard got to do with me? |
15302 | What the devil''s all this got to do with Francis? |
15302 | What was I going to do about the body? |
15302 | What was my firm? |
15302 | What was your stratagem?" |
15302 | What would he desire to say? |
15302 | What''s going to happen to you, young feller my lad, when Madame comes along and finds you have a British passport? |
15302 | What? |
15302 | When did he come to the café? |
15302 | When two people fall out The third party rejoices._ What did it all mean? |
15302 | Where did you get him from? |
15302 | Where have you got this letter of ours?" |
15302 | Where is he to go?" |
15302 | Where the deuce was it going to take me? |
15302 | Who contrived the traps that sent them to their doom? |
15302 | Who had the other half? |
15302 | Who is Meyer? |
15302 | Who is it this time? |
15302 | Who the devil was Stelze? |
15302 | Who''d have thought of that? |
15302 | Why has he not come?" |
15302 | Why not Munich? |
15302 | Why not"in_ his_ tent"? |
15302 | Why was I coming to Germany at all? |
15302 | Why, a British officer in Germany... is n''t it too thrilling?" |
15302 | Why, look what this country has done in this war? |
15302 | Will that do?" |
15302 | Will you?" |
15302 | Would he stop at the refuse bins behind which I cowered? |
15302 | Would the clock never strike? |
15302 | Would the gentlemen take anything before retiring? |
15302 | Yes, or no?" |
15302 | You have just come out of hospital, I think?" |
15302 | You must admit, Herr Doktor, that I have been hardly used-- by yourself as well as by another person?" |
15302 | You permit me?" |
15302 | You remember him as well, do you? |
15302 | You say you are an American?" |
15302 | You will admit that I showed some perspicacity?" |
15302 | and''What?'' |
15302 | and''Where?'' |
15302 | he asked patiently,"and those soldiers?... |
15302 | he cried in a voice that quivered with suppressed passion,"terms? |
15302 | he said,"''Achilles in his Tent''... that is the device of the hidden part of my business-- you observe the parallel, do you not?'' |
15302 | said Red Tabs, as I rose to go,"would you care to see Clubfoot''s epitaph? |
15302 | she exclaimed in horror-- and her speech was that of the United States--"what on earth...?" |
15302 | what have they done to you to make you look like that?" |
15302 | you did n''t know that either, did you? |
15302 | you did n''t know that, did you? |
10551 | ''But does it bear his signature?'' 10551 ''How could it, since he never saw the letter?'' |
10551 | ''Well?'' 10551 A Turk, are you? |
10551 | A dervaish? 10551 A martyr, the very mention of whose name means war, or a living power for peace under a temporary cloud?" |
10551 | Ah? 10551 And if I refuse?" |
10551 | And so, Jimgrim, do the kites foregather? 10551 And that one?" |
10551 | And these men? 10551 And this lady? |
10551 | And you are quite sure that the Emir Feisul has escaped? |
10551 | And you intend to sit here and wait for them? |
10551 | Any gas masks among the supplies you ordered? |
10551 | Any news? |
10551 | Any one Jew in particular? |
10551 | Any sign of the train crew? |
10551 | Are they bound by your honour? |
10551 | Are you deceived by that? |
10551 | Are you in on this? |
10551 | Are you planning to fight the French? |
10551 | Are you telling me the truth? |
10551 | Are you there, sahib? |
10551 | At the front, you say? 10551 At the front?" |
10551 | But how are you going to do it, now that Ramsden has dismissed you from his service? |
10551 | But that if you let pride go by the board, and seem to run away, there''ll be a breathing spell? 10551 But to whom will you show it?" |
10551 | But who are these? |
10551 | By Allah, then I am in good luck, for that makes me indispensable, does n''t it? 10551 Ca n''t see me, eh? |
10551 | Can you prove it? |
10551 | Can you think of any way of doing that? |
10551 | Consume your own smoke, eh? |
10551 | D''you want to do it, Mabel? |
10551 | Damascus, eh? 10551 Did you hear what was said?" |
10551 | Did you see the devil smirk as he went off with it? |
10551 | Did you see the man who stabbed you? |
10551 | Do you agree that two and two make four? 10551 Do you know a woman in Haifa?" |
10551 | Do you know that man? |
10551 | Do you mind stepping out and getting that letter from him, Ramsden? 10551 Do you need it badly?" |
10551 | Do you realize what it means if Feisul goes out and gets scuppered? |
10551 | Do you think I should be put to that indignity? |
10551 | Does Feisul speak like that, or write like that? 10551 Dream anything?" |
10551 | For what? |
10551 | Have n''t you warned Feisul? |
10551 | Have you a charm against mustard gas? |
10551 | Have you folk got the hang of this? |
10551 | Have you friends in Jerusalem? |
10551 | He might have dictated it, might n''t he? |
10551 | Heh? 10551 Hospital''s stuffy, is n''t it? |
10551 | How about the French? |
10551 | How about you, Mabel? 10551 How about you, Ramsden? |
10551 | How can he have paid your fare as far as Damascus? 10551 How d''you mean-- stall''em?" |
10551 | How do you know that? |
10551 | How long have you been in the service of Ramsden effendi? |
10551 | How long will that take? |
10551 | How much did you hear? |
10551 | How much do you know? |
10551 | How shall I commence the letter? |
10551 | Huh- huh? 10551 I, sahib? |
10551 | If they''d killed you they''d have stopped the clock, eh? |
10551 | Is that man not an Arab? |
10551 | Is that your business? |
10551 | Learn them? |
10551 | Mad? 10551 Make money?" |
10551 | Met Major Grim, eh? |
10551 | Now are you satisfied? |
10551 | On whose word? |
10551 | Operation serious? |
10551 | Pardon,he called aloud in English,"does the sahib know where I can find a druggist''s open at this hour? |
10551 | Shall I undress myself? |
10551 | Shall we cut that too? |
10551 | Sidi bin Tagim, is n''t it? 10551 So you hope to find a wife in Damascus?" |
10551 | So you know Damascus? |
10551 | So you''re afraid to sign that, are you? 10551 Supply Feisul with money? |
10551 | Suppose I walk the streets all night? |
10551 | Suppose he wo n''t come? |
10551 | Suppose we''re captured by the French? |
10551 | That master of yours-- that Ramsden, who dismissed you so tyrannically just now--"That drunkard? 10551 The Australian who wandered all over Arabia? |
10551 | The French agent--"What-- Sidi Said? 10551 The lady as well?" |
10551 | The point is how much will you pay me if I do that? |
10551 | Then how can you swear by them? 10551 Then why his seal, and his special private notepaper? |
10551 | Then you wo n''t need to beg board and lodging in Haifa? |
10551 | To defeat the French? 10551 Untrustful? |
10551 | Wallah, how not? 10551 Was n''t she in here when those three murderers came to finish the lot of us? |
10551 | Well enough to expect a bed for the night at a moment''s notice? |
10551 | Well, if you could prove you have--"What then? |
10551 | Well, you''re a woman, are n''t you? 10551 Well? |
10551 | What are you running from? 10551 What authority have you got?" |
10551 | What can the devils do? |
10551 | What d''you mean, Jim? |
10551 | What did I tell you this evening? 10551 What do you intend?" |
10551 | What do you make of it? |
10551 | What do you mean? 10551 What do you say, Jim? |
10551 | What do you want done with him? |
10551 | What good will that do? 10551 What in hell have the French got to do with it?" |
10551 | What is your name? |
10551 | What kind of bunk are you throwing this time? |
10551 | What shall be done with the memsahib''s hat? |
10551 | What''s his name, and where does he live? |
10551 | What''s that? |
10551 | What''s the tune he plays? |
10551 | What''s the use of losing tempers? |
10551 | What''s to prevent their opening it at once? |
10551 | Where did you learn such accomplishments? |
10551 | Where''s your proof that the French are jockeying this? 10551 Which is better?" |
10551 | Who are these? |
10551 | Who are you? |
10551 | Who fears such an ox? |
10551 | Who says I have no authority? |
10551 | Who''s cast for Feisul? |
10551 | Why did n''t you arrest him? |
10551 | Why did you let that fool go? |
10551 | Why did you say a Jew stabbed you? |
10551 | Why do n''t he cut loose with forty or fifty thousand men and boot the French into the sea? |
10551 | Why lost? |
10551 | Why not regard the whole thing as a joke? 10551 Why not send a provost- marshal''s guard to the French agent, then?" |
10551 | Why not? |
10551 | Why should I divide with you? |
10551 | Why? 10551 Worry? |
10551 | Would n''t that foil them? |
10551 | Would you like to send for him now? |
10551 | Yet you say they have been betrayed-- their plan is known-- yet they left for the front this evening? |
10551 | You are from the South? 10551 You are here on business? |
10551 | You have been adroit, but do you think I could depend on your discretion? |
10551 | You have seen him already, then? |
10551 | You know what it means, of course? |
10551 | You mean I''m to act Lawrence again? |
10551 | You mean you''ve sent that Sikh to get the shirt of Yussuf Dakmar? |
10551 | You mean your government has seen the thing, and sent you to confront me with it? |
10551 | You might show him the letter? |
10551 | You saw, effendi, did n''t you? 10551 You talk Arabic?" |
10551 | Your intimate friends? |
10551 | Your name was given to me as that of a man who can be trusted to take necessary action in the interests of... er... you understand? |
10551 | ''Is there not a roof below your window?'' |
10551 | ''The huntsman urges on the hounds, but unless he is cleverer than they, who eats the meat? |
10551 | ''What then?'' |
10551 | ''Who are ye to clap your fat noses on the scent I found and tell me the how and whither of it? |
10551 | ''Why not come and see me in the morning? |
10551 | ''Yet to whom has the country been given?'' |
10551 | A hakim?" |
10551 | A holy person? |
10551 | A scoundrel?'' |
10551 | Am I right, Roger? |
10551 | Am I right? |
10551 | American money perhaps? |
10551 | An American banker by any chance?" |
10551 | An Amirikani? |
10551 | And I said to him:"''Sahib,''said I,''am I a badmash? |
10551 | And I shall meet you at the station in the morning?" |
10551 | And was he a Jew?" |
10551 | And who is its ruler? |
10551 | Any questions? |
10551 | Anything else you want to know?" |
10551 | Anything else?" |
10551 | Are n''t you the staff officer they sent to strafe a regiment of Anzacs for going into action without orders? |
10551 | Are the Jews not at the bottom of all trouble? |
10551 | Are we agreed?" |
10551 | Are you a prince in these parts?" |
10551 | At what time shall I come for the money in the morning? |
10551 | Besides, what can possibly happen? |
10551 | But how comes it that you speak to me in English? |
10551 | But if you get the letter?" |
10551 | But if you''ve got all you want, do you know of any better fun than lending a hand while some man you happen to like gets his? |
10551 | But tell me, what has been done to Daulch, Hattin and Aubek? |
10551 | But what has been done to the three?" |
10551 | But what if Feisul wo n''t go?" |
10551 | But what would you? |
10551 | But who is there like Feisul who can unite all Arabs under one banner?'' |
10551 | Ca n''t you see that if you lose you''ll be a martyr, and Islam will rise to avenge you?" |
10551 | Can you imagine a lone, good- looking woman going to Aleppo by that train unless she had a laissez passe from the French? |
10551 | Charkian?" |
10551 | Come on; d''you want to bet on it?" |
10551 | D''you kid yourself that Yussuf Dakmar knows who lives here?" |
10551 | D''you see those two Arabs in the train?" |
10551 | D''you see? |
10551 | Did n''t he give me that letter to keep, and did n''t I find a safe place for it between you and the cushions? |
10551 | Did n''t they promise the Arabs that Feisul should be King of Syria, Palestine, Mesopotamia, and all that?" |
10551 | Did you ever hear what they did to Napoleon at Waterloo? |
10551 | Did you have a good journey? |
10551 | Did you hear any interesting rumors on the way?" |
10551 | Did you hear that? |
10551 | Do they give you bread and water for it?" |
10551 | Do we go to bury Feisul or to crown him king?" |
10551 | Do we understand one another? |
10551 | Do you know who I am?" |
10551 | Do you recall that time at Wady Hafiz when a local priest denounced you and a Sheik in a yellow kuffiyi told the crowd that he knew you for a prophet? |
10551 | Do you suppose we''re here for nothing-- at this time?" |
10551 | Do you understand? |
10551 | Do you want the prospect of Arab independence to go up in smoke on a gas- swept battlefield?" |
10551 | Does it begin to be obvious why kings used to employ court jesters? |
10551 | Easy to kill me, is it? |
10551 | Eh? |
10551 | Eh? |
10551 | Ever heard of Anzacs? |
10551 | Experienced it, maybe? |
10551 | Francois, mon brave, here is a letter, eh? |
10551 | From behind them came the conductor''s voice again, airing his English:"Any more bags inside there, Colonel?" |
10551 | Get me?" |
10551 | Get me?" |
10551 | Get that? |
10551 | Had n''t one of you better take the letter, though? |
10551 | Half a mo'', you chaps; that''s my mine at Abu Kem, is n''t it? |
10551 | Have you a magnifying glass, doc?" |
10551 | Have you a permit? |
10551 | Have you any proof he was n''t a deserter? |
10551 | Have you arrested him?" |
10551 | He had hardly time to get out of earshot when Grim''s voice broke the silence again:"You there, Ramsden?" |
10551 | He has money for Feisul, has he? |
10551 | He runs, eh? |
10551 | How about Jeremy? |
10551 | How about toothache? |
10551 | How about you, Hadad? |
10551 | How about you, Mabel?" |
10551 | How can I show either?" |
10551 | How could you improve on it? |
10551 | How far would you go to save Feisul from this Waterloo?" |
10551 | How long have you had this house? |
10551 | How much will you pay me if I get it for you?" |
10551 | How much?" |
10551 | How should I know him?" |
10551 | How''d you make that out-- regular? |
10551 | I expect you planned to sell them, eh? |
10551 | I had a pistol too; why did n''t I use it? |
10551 | I spin it in the air-- catch it-- d''you hear them? |
10551 | I--""Was the letter from Feisul?" |
10551 | If we are both Arabs, why not talk the mother tongue?" |
10551 | Is Mabel Ticknor going to be the woman? |
10551 | Is it desired that I should summon him?" |
10551 | Is n''t that Feisul''s seal?" |
10551 | Is she your wife?" |
10551 | Is that agreed?'' |
10551 | Is that clear?" |
10551 | Is the woman your daughter?" |
10551 | Is there any other bank that he could go to?" |
10551 | It seems a pity that a chief clerk to the Administration should n''t have a chance to wash himself, does n''t it? |
10551 | Let men be told that this is his secret signature, and when they see his seal beside it, will they not believe? |
10551 | Let''s see now... What would he do in the circumstances? |
10551 | Let''s see; to whom did you surrender?" |
10551 | Like the saint''s ass, you are a clever devil, are n''t you? |
10551 | Me?" |
10551 | Never mind; not having the weapon you wo n''t need a permit, will you? |
10551 | No need to certify him mad, is there?" |
10551 | Noblemen?'' |
10551 | Nothing to do but run with a letter now and then, eh? |
10551 | Now-- are you both listening? |
10551 | Now-- how can I get whisky on the train? |
10551 | Now-- what next?" |
10551 | Of course, the obvious question is, why did n''t Narayan Singh shoot? |
10551 | Or are we a forlorn hope? |
10551 | Plenty to eat, eh, Francois? |
10551 | Princes? |
10551 | Ready to go? |
10551 | Said he was a spy for the French, did n''t I? |
10551 | Say, did you intend one of us to go and decoy the guard away that time you raised your voice?" |
10551 | See he gets no whisky, will you? |
10551 | Shall I interfere?" |
10551 | Shall I lead''em and lick hell out of the Algies?" |
10551 | Shall Yussuf Dakmar grow fat, while nine of us starve? |
10551 | Sick- leave continued of course, but-- how about a little exercise?" |
10551 | Since when has he turned coward that he should sign his name with a number?" |
10551 | Since yesterday, is n''t it? |
10551 | So you think that Allah is cooking up evil, do you? |
10551 | Suppose I go in Mabel''s place?" |
10551 | Suppose I keep him here until the doctor sees him?" |
10551 | Suppose he swears I''m luny? |
10551 | Suppose you go and see him? |
10551 | Suppose you show me your authority?" |
10551 | Suppose you watch for an opportunity to push him off the train?" |
10551 | That do? |
10551 | That feels like quite a pretty little weapon; mother o''pearl on the butt? |
10551 | That right, Grim?" |
10551 | That right? |
10551 | The deuce?" |
10551 | The point is, do you want all your bravery and hard work for the Arab cause to go for nothing? |
10551 | The question that always exercised him was, wherein does the other fellow''s weakness lie? |
10551 | Then that letter will reach Feisul tomorrow night; and the French, who speak of you now as of animals, will call you what? |
10551 | They regard you as a man without authority, who might make trouble and leave other men to face it, eh?" |
10551 | They wo n''t discover it''s a fake until after leaving Deraa--""Why not?" |
10551 | Think you could recover health more rapidly outdoors? |
10551 | Three members of the staff to order sauve- qui- peut unexpectedly, seize Feisul, and deliver him dead or alive? |
10551 | Was the train attacked? |
10551 | Well, suppose we put him out of the way first; how would that be? |
10551 | Well, why not stir up revolution here in Palestine in Feisul''s name? |
10551 | Were they backed against a wall and shot? |
10551 | What about it?" |
10551 | What about me?" |
10551 | What are you proposing?" |
10551 | What business?" |
10551 | What do I do? |
10551 | What do you propose to do with it, Jimgrim?" |
10551 | What do you suppose they''ll do to us?" |
10551 | What do you think of Feisul''s chance?" |
10551 | What do you want with the letter?" |
10551 | What do you want?" |
10551 | What does the life of one fool matter? |
10551 | What has happened?" |
10551 | What have you had to drink?" |
10551 | What is better than that? |
10551 | What is it that makes us side with the bottom dog regardless of pros and cons? |
10551 | What is it you are really going to say?" |
10551 | What is the letter, anyway? |
10551 | What price the lot of you eating Mabel''s chow tonight at our house? |
10551 | What then?" |
10551 | What was in the telegram? |
10551 | What would you think of a king who left his army in the lurch?" |
10551 | What''s Narayan Singh? |
10551 | What''s in it? |
10551 | What''s the verdict?" |
10551 | What''s this? |
10551 | What''s time got to do with it?" |
10551 | When can I get my discharge?" |
10551 | When did they leave for the front?" |
10551 | When did you see him?" |
10551 | Where do you come from?" |
10551 | Where does my gold mine come in?" |
10551 | Where is it?" |
10551 | Who betrayed them? |
10551 | Who cleaned you?" |
10551 | Who is to be its ruler?" |
10551 | Who owns the land?'' |
10551 | Who stabbed you?" |
10551 | Who told you that?" |
10551 | Why did n''t I sign the letter myself, and get all the credit afterward, as any other spy would do? |
10551 | Why did n''t you arrest both the blackguards and have done with it?" |
10551 | Why not get the malcontents to murder Jews wholesale, with propaganda blowing full blast to make it look as if Feisul''s hand is directing it all? |
10551 | Why should the Jews think you sufficiently important to be murdered?" |
10551 | Why''s he sober when I''m drunk? |
10551 | Why? |
10551 | Will they not have Syria? |
10551 | Will they say nothing?" |
10551 | Will you do that?" |
10551 | Will you get it for me?" |
10551 | Will you get it, that''s the point-- will you get it and bring it to me?" |
10551 | Will you see this through?" |
10551 | Will you wait and discuss them with the guard, or go at once?" |
10551 | Wonder where I learned such good English? |
10551 | You follow me? |
10551 | You know English? |
10551 | You know him?" |
10551 | You know how some uncatalogued sense informs you in the dark of the movement of the man beside you? |
10551 | You know what a dose of salts is then? |
10551 | You know where to take it-- eh? |
10551 | You mean...?" |
10551 | You remember the Dreyfus case? |
10551 | You remember, of course, that line that Shakespeare put into the mouth of Puck? |
10551 | You understand me?" |
10551 | You wish to flatter me, do n''t you? |
10551 | You''spect me''nto bed full o''snakes? |
10551 | You''ve seen it work? |
10551 | You? |
10551 | fall?" |
10511 | A disguise? 10511 After all, we''ve got a boat and a lovely evening and a cold pheasant and a bottle of champagne-- what more can any one want?" |
10511 | All right? |
10511 | All serene? |
10511 | All these three long weary years that I''ve been rotting in Dartmoor, you''ve been really and truly sorry for me? |
10511 | And I believe you were just on the point of success when you were arrested? |
10511 | And after that,I said quietly,"I suppose the doctor thought he might as well stop here and do a little business?" |
10511 | And are we free now? |
10511 | And do you mean to tell me that you-- an escaped convict-- were actually aware that you were travelling with the Home Secretary? |
10511 | And have they found out? |
10511 | And if I refuse? |
10511 | And if it is n''t? |
10511 | And in any case,I continued,"what the devil is he doing messing about with George? |
10511 | And is it on account of my talents that you have been kind enough to shelter me? |
10511 | And oh, dear Neil,she added,"you will be careful, wo n''t you? |
10511 | And then you are to pass the good news on to him? |
10511 | And unless I am wrong, this new explosive will be immensely more powerful than anything now in use? |
10511 | And what does that distinguished person want with me? |
10511 | And what if it is? |
10511 | And what were you all doing down in that God- forsaken part of the world? |
10511 | And what will Monsieur drink? |
10511 | And you believe McMurtrie never meant to keep his word to me? |
10511 | And you really believe McMurtrie and Savaroff are responsible for their optimism? |
10511 | Any answer, sir? |
10511 | Any news? |
10511 | Are they after you? |
10511 | Are you feeling any better? |
10511 | Are you feeling pretty strong this morning? |
10511 | Are you hurt? |
10511 | Are you mad, sir? |
10511 | Are you really? |
10511 | Are you speaking the truth? |
10511 | Are you waiting for me-- Mr. James Nicholson? |
10511 | Been here long? |
10511 | Beg pardon, sir,he observed,"but ai n''t you a gentleman who makes things?" |
10511 | Besides,added Tommy,"it would be the deuce of a day, and it''s a long time since any of us had a good day, eh, Joyce?" |
10511 | Between perjury and selling Government secrets I suppose we have enough evidence to justify his arrest? |
10511 | Bought them from some one in the Admiralty? |
10511 | But earlier-- when you were in London? |
10511 | But if they know about it,I objected,"how is it that McMurtrie and Savaroff are n''t in Siberia? |
10511 | But in what way? |
10511 | But suppose I refuse? |
10511 | But surely,I objected,"he must have guessed you were on my side?" |
10511 | But what about you? |
10511 | But what can you do, Joyce? |
10511 | But what have you arranged to do? |
10511 | But what made him ask you? |
10511 | But what the devil''s happened? 10511 But why?" |
10511 | But why? |
10511 | But why? |
10511 | But you do n''t believe his story? |
10511 | But you have seen him? |
10511 | By the way,he said,"I suppose you never wore a beard or a moustache before you went to prison?" |
10511 | By what right am I arrested? |
10511 | Ca n''t we stop and watch? |
10511 | Ca n''t you imagine the postmaster''s face when he read the envelope? 10511 Can I smoke?" |
10511 | Can you get me some-- soon? |
10511 | Can you give me any idea as to its strength? |
10511 | Can you make fireworks? |
10511 | Can you take her out while I have a squint at the damage? |
10511 | Cut his throat? |
10511 | Did I? |
10511 | Did he ask who the boat belonged to, by any chance? |
10511 | Did he recognize you at once? |
10511 | Did you murder that man Marks? |
10511 | Do n''t you remember how it was always getting in your eyes? |
10511 | Do n''t you remember what you read in the_ Daily Mail_ about the robbery at your offices in Victoria Street? |
10511 | Do n''t you see, Joyce dear, there are only two possible courses open to me? 10511 Do you know Cunnock Creek?" |
10511 | Do you know what she charges? |
10511 | Do you know what the penalties are for helping an escaped convict? |
10511 | Do you know why we are helping you? |
10511 | Do you mean now, at once? |
10511 | Do you mean that it''s safe for me to go out? |
10511 | Do you mean you have made out the full list of what you want? |
10511 | Do you remember how Tommy and I used to squabble as to which of us should eventually adopt you? |
10511 | Do you think you can manage to feed yourself? |
10511 | Do you want to earn half a sovereign? |
10511 | Dr. McMurtrie,I said bluntly,"what does all this mean? |
10511 | For all what? |
10511 | Good- bye,I said;"we shall meet at Tilbury, I suppose-- if not before?" |
10511 | Good- morning, sir: what can I get you? |
10511 | Good- morning,I said;"can I have some coffee and something to eat upstairs?" |
10511 | Gor blimey, Guv''nor,he ejaculated,"what sorter gime d''you call that?" |
10511 | Have I? |
10511 | Have a paper? |
10511 | Have n''t I told you about Miss Gertie''Uggins? |
10511 | Have you an appointment, sir? |
10511 | Have you any idea how you have betrayed yourself? 10511 Have you brought any of the powder with you?" |
10511 | Have you ever heard of a man called Bruce Latimer? |
10511 | Have you got anything to eat? |
10511 | Have you? |
10511 | He knows who you are now, of course? |
10511 | How am I to know that you will keep your promise? |
10511 | How are you getting on with the elopement plan? |
10511 | How could I get in touch with them? |
10511 | How deep does one sink in? |
10511 | How did you know about Marks? |
10511 | How did you know about my experiments? |
10511 | How did you manage it? |
10511 | How do you do? |
10511 | How do you feel now? |
10511 | How have you got on? |
10511 | How in the name of Satan did he get here? |
10511 | How is the Navy these days? |
10511 | How long had he been with you, Joyce? |
10511 | How long have I been asleep? |
10511 | How long have you been here? |
10511 | How long will it take you to work it out? |
10511 | How much do I owe you? |
10511 | How''s the poor man? |
10511 | I beg your pardon, sir,he said in a pleasant, lazy voice,"but I wonder if you could tell me who this building belongs to?" |
10511 | I like your description of us as the firm,she said;"do n''t you, Tommy? |
10511 | I say, Latimer,he exclaimed,"is this serious history?" |
10511 | I shall have the pleasure of seeing you too at Tilbury, I suppose? |
10511 | I suppose you have some reason for making this condition? |
10511 | I take it, Mr. Lyndon, that you are not particularly anxious to rejoin your friends in Princetown? |
10511 | I wonder if you could help me out of a slight difficulty about my letters? |
10511 | I''d love to, Tommy,I said,"but it''s rather asking for trouble, is n''t it? |
10511 | I''ll pick him up,I said;"but what are we going to do about getting back? |
10511 | I''m Mrs. Oldbury; and you''d be the gentleman I''m expectin''--Dr. McMurtrie''s gentleman? |
10511 | Is Mademoiselle at home? |
10511 | Is Miss Vivien in? |
10511 | Is Mr. Gow back? |
10511 | Is he an old man? |
10511 | Is it a safe place to leave a boat for the night with no one on board? |
10511 | Is n''t that Mr. Gow coming along by those trees? |
10511 | Is n''t there a job for me? |
10511 | Is she young and dark and rather nice to look at? |
10511 | Is she-- is she very pretty? |
10511 | Is that all? |
10511 | Is that true? |
10511 | Is there any particular news? 10511 Is there anything else you want that you have n''t got?" |
10511 | Is there enough water? |
10511 | It would be lovely,she said, with a deep breath;"but dare we risk it?" |
10511 | It would be rather awkward, would n''t it? 10511 It''s hateful, is n''t it?" |
10511 | It''s quite true, is n''t it? 10511 Jack?" |
10511 | Look here, Gertie,I went on,"will you undertake a little job for me if I explain it to you?" |
10511 | Look here, Gow,I said abruptly,"were you speaking seriously when you suggested that launch ran you down on purpose?" |
10511 | Look here, Tommy,I went on seriously,"what are we going to do about Joyce? |
10511 | May I ask why? |
10511 | May we come in? |
10511 | Monsieur is hungry? |
10511 | Mr. Morrison, I believe? |
10511 | My dear Savaroff,I said coldly,"why on earth should I want to break my agreement with you? |
10511 | My dear Sonia,I said,"why did n''t you let me know that you were going to be the visitor?" |
10511 | My dear chap,he said slowly,"do you understand anything about Joyce at all? |
10511 | Neil,she said;"do you remember that you once called me the most pig- headed infant in Chelsea?" |
10511 | No,I said,"but will you be good enough to ask whether I can see her? |
10511 | Oh, my poor Joyce,I said bitterly;"have n''t I brought enough troubles and horrors into your life already?" |
10511 | Oh, she''s a palmist, is she? |
10511 | Oh, we''ll get there all right,I returned cheerfully,"What''s the game?" |
10511 | Perhaps you will be good enough to explain what has happened? 10511 Perhaps, sir, you are unaware who I am?" |
10511 | Shall I read it now? |
10511 | Shall we be able to write to you? |
10511 | Shall we run in here and pick up some moorings? 10511 Sick at being in the same room with me, are you? |
10511 | Sir George Frinton? |
10511 | So George sold them to you? |
10511 | So you''ve been sorry for me, George? |
10511 | Still, you yourself were quite satisfied with the prospects? |
10511 | Suppose I take it on, then? |
10511 | Taikin''''er, I s''pose? |
10511 | Talkin''o''noos, sir,observed Mr. Gow with sudden interest,"''ave you heard tell about the back o''Canvey Island bein''blown up yesterday mornin''?" |
10511 | Tell me,she said,"this girl-- Joyce Aylmer-- do you love her?" |
10511 | Thanks,I said; and then after a moment''s pause I added,"I suppose if I addressed a letter here it would be forwarded?" |
10511 | That you, Morrison? |
10511 | That''s all true enough, Tommy,I said;"but what am I to do? |
10511 | The lidy''s gorn? |
10511 | Then why did your partner-- Mr. Marwood-- why did he say that you had done it? |
10511 | Then you were lying when you said you were anxious to help him? |
10511 | These people-- Dr. McMurtrie and the others-- do you believe their story? |
10511 | They''d pay a lot of heed to the likes o''me, would n''t they? 10511 This is Gospel truth you''re telling me?" |
10511 | Throw him in the river? |
10511 | Tomorrow? |
10511 | Turn her round? |
10511 | Very good, sir,he said;"and what do you want me to do?" |
10511 | Very well,I said;"and I wonder if you could let me have such a thing as a sheet of paper, and a pen and ink? |
10511 | Well, Mr. Lyndon,he said slowly,"and how are you feeling now?" |
10511 | Well, Mr. Neil Lyndon,he said,"do you recognize yourself?" |
10511 | Well, what are your ideas, Joyce? |
10511 | Well, what have you seen our pals doing? |
10511 | Well, what is it you want me to do? |
10511 | Well,I said encouragingly,"how do you feel?" |
10511 | Well,he added,"and how are the stiffness and the sore throat this morning?" |
10511 | Well,said the doctor smoothly,"and how is the patient today?" |
10511 | Well,she said, in her curious, half- sullen way,"are you pleased you are going to London?" |
10511 | Well? |
10511 | Well? |
10511 | Well? |
10511 | Well? |
10511 | Well? |
10511 | What about the X- ray treatment? |
10511 | What about the tide? |
10511 | What about your invention? |
10511 | What am I to do? 10511 What are these particular dark doings that Tommy''s hinting about?" |
10511 | What are we going to do with him? |
10511 | What are you going to do? 10511 What are you thinking of giving him?" |
10511 | What brought you to England? |
10511 | What could you say? |
10511 | What did the doctor tell you? |
10511 | What do you do? |
10511 | What do you mean? |
10511 | What do you mean? |
10511 | What do you say to running down to Sheppey and paying a call on our German pals? |
10511 | What do you say? |
10511 | What do you think Sonia will do? |
10511 | What do you think about it? |
10511 | What do you think, Neil? |
10511 | What do you think, Sonia? |
10511 | What does a man''s appearance matter? 10511 What does it matter? |
10511 | What does it matter? |
10511 | What happened after dinner? 10511 What have they done to you, my Neil? |
10511 | What have they done to you? |
10511 | What have you got? |
10511 | What in God''s name can Bruce Latimer have to do with your crowd? |
10511 | What in God''s name does it matter to you-- an escaped convict? |
10511 | What is it that you propose-- exactly? |
10511 | What is it you want me to do? 10511 What makes you think so?" |
10511 | What on earth have you been doing to them? |
10511 | What on earth makes you think that? |
10511 | What part of me are you going to start on? |
10511 | What shall we do now, Joyce? |
10511 | What shall we do now, Tommy? |
10511 | What shall we do? |
10511 | What sort of a difficulty? |
10511 | What sort of a gent? |
10511 | What sort of a lady? |
10511 | What took you there? |
10511 | What''s happened? |
10511 | What''s it got to do with you, darling? |
10511 | What''s one murder more or less? 10511 What''s the matter with the one you''re wearing?" |
10511 | What''s the matter? |
10511 | What''s the matter? |
10511 | What''s the programme now? |
10511 | What''s up now, sir? 10511 What''s your job?" |
10511 | What''s your name? |
10511 | When are you coming down again? |
10511 | Where am I going to stay? |
10511 | Where are the others? |
10511 | Where are we going to, my pretty maid? |
10511 | Where are you going to do it? |
10511 | Where did the_ Daily Mail_ leave off? |
10511 | Where did you tell the man to stop, Joyce? |
10511 | Where have you been? 10511 Where should you go to if you did n''t come to me?" |
10511 | Where the Devil''s he going to get it from? |
10511 | Where to, guv''nor? |
10511 | Where to, sir? |
10511 | Where''s Gow? |
10511 | Where''s Joyce? |
10511 | Where''s the faithful Clara? |
10511 | Who are McMurtrie and Savaroff? |
10511 | Who are they? |
10511 | Who is he? 10511 Who is it in the car?" |
10511 | Who on earth did that? |
10511 | Who was he? |
10511 | Who was it? |
10511 | Who''s this? |
10511 | Why did George tell those lies about me at the trial? |
10511 | Why did n''t you tell the police? |
10511 | Why do n''t you tell the police or the naval people? |
10511 | Why have they left the place empty in this way? |
10511 | Why not throw him in the river? 10511 Why should they have helped you, then?" |
10511 | Why should you think otherwise? |
10511 | Why? |
10511 | Will you be over tomorrow, sir? |
10511 | Wo n''t your boy think there''s something odd in our lunching together like this? |
10511 | Wotjer taike me for-- a Sunday- school teacher? |
10511 | Yer mean it? 10511 Yer reely mean it?" |
10511 | Yer reely think I''ll look orl right in it? 10511 Yer want yer barf?" |
10511 | Yes,I said;"but what about the first part of the programme?" |
10511 | Yes? |
10511 | You ai n''t goin''away from''ere-- not for good? |
10511 | You ai n''t''ad time to make no fireworks yourself, sir? |
10511 | You ask this after she did her best to send you back to penal servitude? |
10511 | You can take the boat back to Tilbury alone if we go ashore here? |
10511 | You got that? |
10511 | You have acquainted Sir George with the whole of this morning''s events? |
10511 | You knew that McMurtrie had killed Marks? |
10511 | You know what this is about, of course, Sonia? |
10511 | You realize what all this means, Sonia? |
10511 | You see them two or three stakes stickin''up in the water? |
10511 | You think they''re spies? |
10511 | You''ll have a drink, wo n''t you? |
10511 | You''re absolutely sure they''re the same pair? |
10511 | You''re coming back here afterwards? |
10511 | You''re not joking? |
10511 | You''re quite prepared to throw over your father and McMurtrie? 10511 You-- you do n''t mean to murder me?" |
10511 | You? |
10511 | ''"Ere,"she said:"you know that five bob you give me?" |
10511 | ''Am- an''-eggs, saire?" |
10511 | ''Ave you got an appointment?" |
10511 | After all, if a convicted murderer ca n''t be a little careless about the exact truth, who the devil can? |
10511 | Am I developing nerves, or have I really been watched and followed since I came to London?" |
10511 | And George-- how on earth do you come to be mixed up with George?" |
10511 | And the girl, Joyce? |
10511 | Are things all right?" |
10511 | Are you really living next door to Tommy? |
10511 | As for the money"--he made a little gesture of contempt--"well, do you think it would pay us to cheat you? |
10511 | But if I did n''t go to Cheyne Walk, what was I to do? |
10511 | But the clothes and the short hair-- eh? |
10511 | By the way, does Joyce know?" |
10511 | CHAPTER XXII THE POLICE TAKE ACTION"What have we done, Neil?" |
10511 | Ca n''t you see-- can''t you guess the way they have been lying to you?" |
10511 | Ca n''t you understand that every day and night since you went to prison I''ve loathed and hated myself for ever telling you anything about it? |
10511 | Can I trust your father and McMurtrie?" |
10511 | Can it be possible there is no mistake?" |
10511 | Coming down to''kiss you and be kissed by you,''is she? |
10511 | Could anything provide him with a more favourable opportunity than the collection of the whole crowd in that remote bungalow at Sheppey? |
10511 | D''you happen to know anything about this, sir?" |
10511 | D''you mean her?" |
10511 | Did they ever find out anything about him?" |
10511 | Do n''t you think so, Neil?" |
10511 | Do you believe it?" |
10511 | Do you dare to deny it, with that letter staring me in the face? |
10511 | Do you imagine that you have any choice in the matter?" |
10511 | Do you know what use they mean to make of it?" |
10511 | Do you know what your invention is worth? |
10511 | Do you mind telling a lie for me?" |
10511 | Do you realize that ever since the trial she has had only one idea in her mind-- to get you out of prison? |
10511 | Do you suppose they care in the least whom they get it from? |
10511 | Do you think I can get to Sheppey by half- past nine?" |
10511 | Do you think any woman could help loving a man who had done what you did for her?" |
10511 | Do you think he guessed who it was that sent the note?" |
10511 | Do you think there''s any possible chance of the Home Secretary being able to overlook such enormities?" |
10511 | Does it hurt much?" |
10511 | Eh, Joyce-- how do you feel?" |
10511 | Gaultier?" |
10511 | Gow?" |
10511 | Had they found the bicycle?" |
10511 | Had they managed to send you a message into the prison?" |
10511 | Have you ever read Longfellow?" |
10511 | Have you got plenty of money?" |
10511 | Have you had any food today?" |
10511 | Have you seen her?" |
10511 | Have you seen your cousin-- the man who lied about you at the trial? |
10511 | Have you tried it?" |
10511 | How could I have helped you then even when I got the chance?" |
10511 | How would you like to keep your freedom and at the same time take up your scientific work again?" |
10511 | How''s old Delacour? |
10511 | I asked quickly--"an old man with glasses?" |
10511 | I asked,"and what the devil''s the meaning of it all?" |
10511 | I demanded--"why? |
10511 | I hope Mr. Latimer is not ill?" |
10511 | I hope that will please Mademoiselle?" |
10511 | I said slowly;"do you mean--?" |
10511 | I suppose the bed is made up?" |
10511 | I suppose you ai n''t bin able to do nothin''about that matter not yet, sir?" |
10511 | I was in the middle of a spirited article on the German trouble, headed"What Does the Kaiser Mean?" |
10511 | I''m goin''to buy a''at wiv it-- a''at like''ers: d''yer mind?" |
10511 | I-- I presume that Mr. Casement and Mr. Latimer will be officially responsible for him?" |
10511 | If I had not killed Marks, who had? |
10511 | Is he coming?" |
10511 | Is it likely she''ll chuck the whole thing up now, just when there''s really a chance of helping you?" |
10511 | Is it likely we should leave you now?" |
10511 | Is n''t it silly of me?" |
10511 | Is that where you''re makin''for?" |
10511 | It looks harmless enough, does n''t it?" |
10511 | It sounds like something that goes off with a bang, does n''t it?" |
10511 | It would only have helped to put him on his guard-- wouldn''t it?" |
10511 | Lyndon?" |
10511 | Marwood?" |
10511 | Morrison?" |
10511 | Murder?" |
10511 | Oh, I have n''t told either of you about last night-- have I?" |
10511 | Oh, it will be great fun-- won''t it, Tommy?" |
10511 | Oldbury?" |
10511 | Suppose she were to go to the police?" |
10511 | Suppose there was still someone about there? |
10511 | That is right, Mr. Latimer, is it not?" |
10511 | The gruff voice of the other warder broke out at once, above the shuffling of feet:"What are you stopping for? |
10511 | The only question was, could I find my way out of the wood, and if I did, how on earth was I to strike the right line over North Hessary? |
10511 | The only thing is, what am I to do about clothes?" |
10511 | The question is, how much has that affair got to do with us? |
10511 | The question was should I accept the invitation pencilled across the card? |
10511 | The question was, what did he suspect? |
10511 | The thing is, what are we to do about it?" |
10511 | Then hitching up the dinghy I added curiously:"What''s up, Tommy? |
10511 | Then squeezing my hand a little tighter she added:"And my own Neil, you_ will_ be careful, wo n''t you? |
10511 | Then with a little change in her voice she added:"And you will be careful, wo n''t you, Neil? |
10511 | Then, digging in my scull to avoid a desolate- looking beacon, I added anxiously:"What about Tommy? |
10511 | Then, picking up the teapot, she added curiously:"Where''s the powder? |
10511 | Then, suddenly remembering, I added hastily:"By the way, you know that there are two more of the crowd-- Hoffman and a friend of von Brünig''s? |
10511 | Then, with a little break in her voice, she added in a whisper:"And you do n''t really want Sonia, do you, Neil?" |
10511 | There_ is_ a girl with them, I believe?" |
10511 | Trying to use me to help that precious convict lover of yours-- eh?" |
10511 | Was his apparent friendliness merely a blind, or did it hide some still deeper purpose, of which at present I knew nothing? |
10511 | Weston?" |
10511 | What about the gentle George?" |
10511 | What are we wasting time for? |
10511 | What are you doing here? |
10511 | What boat''s that?" |
10511 | What d''ye mean by throwing that pore man in the river?" |
10511 | What do you think this girl-- what''s her name-- Sonia-- means to do?" |
10511 | What do you think, Savaroff?" |
10511 | What does it matter if all the fools in England think you killed Marks? |
10511 | What does it matter? |
10511 | What have they done to you? |
10511 | What have you done to yourself?" |
10511 | What is he?" |
10511 | What on earth could McMurtrie have had to do with that Jew beast?" |
10511 | What would you like, my Neil?" |
10511 | What''s he got to do with it?" |
10511 | What''s the good of you and I beating about the bush?" |
10511 | When are you supposed to start work?" |
10511 | Where are you? |
10511 | Where on earth did you come across him?" |
10511 | Where shall I tell the man to go to?" |
10511 | Who are you, and why are you hiding me from the police?" |
10511 | Who do you think is going to look after you and do your cooking?" |
10511 | Who on earth_ was_ Marks? |
10511 | Why do you call yourself Miss Vivien? |
10511 | Why should any one have wanted to kill him except me?" |
10511 | Why should n''t we run down tomorrow in the_ Betty_ and have a squint at this place of yours? |
10511 | Why were you following George? |
10511 | Wo n''t you have some tea or anything, Sonia?" |
10511 | Write and tell McMurtrie that you''ve succeeded?" |
10511 | Yer reely mean it?" |
10511 | Yer want some tea?" |
10511 | You ai n''t drowned''i m,''ave ye, gents?" |
10511 | You did n''t expect me to be here when she arrived, did you?" |
10511 | You did n''t mean it, did you? |
10511 | You do n''t mean to let him know who you are? |
10511 | You do n''t suppose I was going to spend it? |
10511 | You have done what you hoped to do?" |
10511 | You know how the doctor deals with people who betray him-- when he gets the chance?" |
10511 | You''re absolutely certain it was McMurtrie you saw at Marks''s flat?" |
10511 | You''re sure he did n''t recognize you?" |
10511 | You''ve had three years of hell; what''s the good of running any risks that you can avoid? |
10511 | You''ve met each other before at the hut, have n''t you?" |
10511 | and who are you to make terms?" |
10511 | cried von Brünig furiously:"what does all this nonsense mean? |
10511 | he observed;"is it really you?" |
10511 | rapped out von Brünig,"what is it?" |
33277 | ''You see I''m your secretary,she said demurely,"and I''m-- I''m paid to be glad, are n''t I?" |
33277 | A bear? 33277 A dug- out after nearly four years of raids?" |
33277 | A lot of what? |
33277 | About normal, then? |
33277 | About the reward? 33277 About the reward?" |
33277 | All right, mother dear, I wo n''t; you know my bark is worse than my bite, do n''t you? |
33277 | Am I included in the invitation? |
33277 | And are n''t you happy? |
33277 | And are you glad to know me? |
33277 | And does he say that to Sir Lyster? |
33277 | And have n''t you sometimes missed not having a mother? |
33277 | And have you informed the police? |
33277 | And how long will it take to construct say a hundred? |
33277 | And that he is a prisoner? |
33277 | And the Skipper? |
33277 | And then? |
33277 | And we are to see the thing through? |
33277 | And we''ll have a picnic- hamper, shall we? |
33277 | And what about a nurse? |
33277 | And what are we to say? |
33277 | And what did he usually say? |
33277 | And what did you say? |
33277 | And what do you eat? |
33277 | And what is that? |
33277 | And what would you do, Sage? |
33277 | And what''s the result, sir? |
33277 | And what? |
33277 | And when may we expect Mr. Dene''s new submarine over? |
33277 | And yet you still advise this course? |
33277 | And you came here? |
33277 | And you? |
33277 | Any what? |
33277 | Anything new? |
33277 | Are you hit? |
33277 | At first I thought you were working her too hard, Mr. Dene, but,she added hastily, as if in anticipation of protest,"but-- but----""But what?" |
33277 | Bad time? |
33277 | Better? |
33277 | But all that time what happened to the_ Destroyer_? |
33277 | But did n''t Nero fiddle while Rome burned? |
33277 | But he is n''t a bear, is he, Dorothy? |
33277 | But how can we be sure they will not capture the_ Destroyer_? |
33277 | But how did they manage Jim after he''d got into that taxi? |
33277 | But how did you manage to do it in the time? |
33277 | But suppose anyone heard you, dear, what would they think? |
33277 | But the questions in the House as to why we are offering this reward? |
33277 | But the_ Destroyer_? |
33277 | But what are we going to do about our tea? |
33277 | But what proof----? |
33277 | But where is he now? |
33277 | But who said''shucks''? |
33277 | But why, Dorothy? |
33277 | But why, mother? |
33277 | But you do n''t always say a thing just because it''s true, do you? |
33277 | But, mother, when you were a girl and knew a nice man, did n''t you want him to kiss you? |
33277 | But,continued Dorothy,"suppose one day I was looking very plain and unattractive, would you tell me of it?" |
33277 | But,persisted Dorothy,"why do we do it? |
33277 | But,protested Sir Lyster,"how shall we know what is happening?" |
33277 | By the way, Thompson, you did n''t happen to drop any finger prints about in Waterloo Place? |
33277 | Can we go round by Whitehall? 33277 Can you tell me,"he asked slowly,"why the British Empire has not gone to blazes long ago?" |
33277 | Can you type? 33277 Clever, was n''t it?" |
33277 | Colonel Walton told you what happened? |
33277 | Could n''t you wear a red beard and blue glasses and----"What''s that? |
33277 | Did he propose? 33277 Did you want to see any one?" |
33277 | Did you? |
33277 | Do for you? |
33277 | Do n''t you always sleep? |
33277 | Do n''t you think, Mrs. West, that God must be pleased when two nice people come together? |
33277 | Do what? |
33277 | Do you come from the Ritzton? |
33277 | Do you imagine that Dene slipped off to the north to trick the Germans? |
33277 | Do you mind? 33277 Do you think he''ll marry you?" |
33277 | Do you think it''s drink, Grayne, or only the heat? |
33277 | Do you think she knew who we were? |
33277 | Do you want the_ Destroyer_ or do n''t you? |
33277 | Does he know? |
33277 | Does that matter, sir? |
33277 | Does that mean that I had better go? |
33277 | Does that mean that I''m discharged? |
33277 | Dorothy dear, are you joking? |
33277 | Dorothy dear, what do you mean? |
33277 | Dumb? |
33277 | Envying you? |
33277 | Excuse me,said John Dene, lifting his hat,"but is that the Admiralty you''ve just come out of?" |
33277 | Going, Heyworth? |
33277 | Got him, Thompson? |
33277 | Got that little list of mine? |
33277 | Got what? |
33277 | Had they got far with the first one? |
33277 | Has Finlay seen him since? |
33277 | Has he linked up with Naylor yet? |
33277 | Has he tried to kiss you yet? |
33277 | Have I, sir? |
33277 | Have you an appointment? |
33277 | Have you tried Scotland Yard, sir? |
33277 | Have you warned Dene? |
33277 | He in? |
33277 | Here, what the hell do you mean by giving that girl only nine dollars a week? |
33277 | Here, what the hell''s all this about my meals? |
33277 | Here, where do you come from? |
33277 | How about John Dene? |
33277 | How did you get it? |
33277 | How did you get the copy? |
33277 | How did you know? |
33277 | How did you know? |
33277 | How did you learn this? |
33277 | How do I do it? |
33277 | How do you mean, Dorothy? |
33277 | How do you mean, dear? |
33277 | How do you plan to proceed? |
33277 | How do you propose to keep at sea for any length of time without recharging your batteries? |
33277 | How is the_ Destroyer_ progressing? |
33277 | How many false calls did you say? |
33277 | How was his memory bad? |
33277 | How''s the_ Destroyer_? |
33277 | How? |
33277 | How? |
33277 | I have an absolutely free hand? |
33277 | I have been wondering about Wessie----"Wessie, who''s she, a cat? |
33277 | I know I''m a horrid little beast,she cried, turning quickly,"and I say outrageous things, do n''t I?" |
33277 | I may smoke? |
33277 | I may, may n''t I? |
33277 | I see, I see,cried Mr. Llewellyn John;"but how on earth did you ferret all this out?" |
33277 | I wonder why it is? |
33277 | I''m so sorry, mother dear; but it slipped out, you know, and really it''s such an awfully convenient word, is n''t it? 33277 If it is n''t the spies,"continued Marjorie,"then what is it?" |
33277 | If they do for me, I want you to give the command to Blake, then to Quinton, and so on, only to my own boys; is that agreed? |
33277 | If this is slow, what''s fast? |
33277 | If what''s all right? |
33277 | If you did n''t supply lunch yesterday, who the blazes did? |
33277 | If you kill, where are the plans? 33277 In other words?" |
33277 | In the meantime what is to be done? |
33277 | In which direction did he drive? |
33277 | Incidentally, Sage, where did you get all this from? |
33277 | Is he going to call this evening? |
33277 | Is he safe? |
33277 | Is he, dear? |
33277 | Is it or is it not a deal? |
33277 | Is it? |
33277 | Is n''t it funny how one runs across the same person time after time? |
33277 | Is n''t what? |
33277 | Is she ill? |
33277 | Is that twelve Haymarket? |
33277 | Is that what you came here to say? |
33277 | Is there any news? |
33277 | Is there anything I can do? |
33277 | Is-- is-- Miss West here? |
33277 | It is very difficult to give instances; but previously he had always been so pleasant and-- and----"Unconscious of himself, shall we say? |
33277 | It sounds rather flippant, does n''t it? |
33277 | J. D."What do you mean, Rojjie? |
33277 | Jim there? |
33277 | Jim''s all right,said John Dene,"but where''s Miss West and my keys?" |
33277 | Knew what? |
33277 | Know what? |
33277 | Like it? |
33277 | Like who? |
33277 | May I sit down? |
33277 | May I suggest that under the circumstances we consult Mr. Llewellyn John? |
33277 | Me or who? |
33277 | Mother dear, do you think you could faint? |
33277 | Mother,said Dorothy presently,"what made you love father?" |
33277 | Mr. Dene knows his own invention and we might enrol his crew in the Navy; what do you think? |
33277 | Mr. John Dene? |
33277 | Mr. Van Helder? |
33277 | Must n''t what? |
33277 | Naylor? |
33277 | No? |
33277 | Not resigning? |
33277 | Nothing has happened? |
33277 | Now,said John Dene, turning to the Admiral,"what''s the greatest difficulty you''re up against in submarine warfare?" |
33277 | Of course he knows? |
33277 | Of me? |
33277 | Oh, I''m horrid, are n''t I? |
33277 | Oh, would you? |
33277 | Only just discovered it? |
33277 | Only what? |
33277 | Only,she continued calmly,"you seem a little-- a little-- may I say jumpy?" |
33277 | Or----? |
33277 | Perhaps you''d rather not come? |
33277 | Please, Mr. Dene, may I be a bridesmaid? |
33277 | Please, Mr. Dene, what is a dancing lizard? |
33277 | Rationed? |
33277 | Ready for the trial trip? |
33277 | Say, does this bother you any? |
33277 | Say, what''s all this worth to you? |
33277 | Says what, Dorothy? |
33277 | Seen John Dene? |
33277 | Shall I do? |
33277 | Shall I go? |
33277 | Sooner you went? |
33277 | Sorry for what? |
33277 | Speeds? |
33277 | Structural defects wo n''t explain it? |
33277 | Suppose the Germans were able to sink a ship without even showing their periscopes? |
33277 | Sure,said John Dene,"and we''ll be getting up to it again, wo n''t we, mother?" |
33277 | Sure,said John Dene; then turning to Admiral Heyworth,"What would happen if Germany got a submarine that could see and do fancy stunts?" |
33277 | That he''s being watched? 33277 That phrase,"continued Sage,"was a great asset to one party, why should it not be to another?" |
33277 | That so? |
33277 | That you, Inspector? |
33277 | That you, Smart? |
33277 | The bear? |
33277 | The calls have always come through in the same way? |
33277 | The point is,said Sir Roger,"what is happening at Auchinlech?" |
33277 | The question is, how long is this to continue? |
33277 | The ring? |
33277 | The thing is, where is John Dene? |
33277 | The what? |
33277 | Then why the devil should the Hun get the wind up? |
33277 | Then you know? |
33277 | Then you refuse to tell me? |
33277 | They do a lot of that here, do n''t they? |
33277 | Thinking of what? |
33277 | Thinner? |
33277 | This some of your funny work? |
33277 | This the Admiralty? |
33277 | Thought of what? |
33277 | Through with everything? |
33277 | To Canada? |
33277 | To know what? |
33277 | To what? |
33277 | Typing? |
33277 | Was ever maid so wooed? |
33277 | Was the John Dene Report what you wanted, sir? |
33277 | Was the other girl pretty? |
33277 | Watch who? |
33277 | We shall not be overheard, no? |
33277 | We should be delighted, should n''t we, Dorothy? |
33277 | We should n''t let you go, should we, mother? |
33277 | We-- we thought----"And shall I get twenty thousand pounds if I give you up to a policeman? |
33277 | Well, Grayne, what do you think of our friend, John Dene? |
33277 | Well, I think I can promise that the matter shall be put right, and we''ll make Blair take her out to lunch by way of apology, shall we? |
33277 | Well, is it a deal? |
33277 | Well,he demanded, looking from Colonel Walton to Sage,"what are we to reply?" |
33277 | What about Deutsches über alles? |
33277 | What about Deutsches über alles? |
33277 | What about Finlay? |
33277 | What am I to do, sir? 33277 What are the official figures for the last six weeks, Heyworth?" |
33277 | What are you doing to poor Blair? |
33277 | What are you talking about? |
33277 | What are your reasons? |
33277 | What did you mean about the odd trick, dear? |
33277 | What did you say to him? |
33277 | What did you say to him? |
33277 | What did? |
33277 | What do you know about pawn- tickets, Rojjie? |
33277 | What do you make of it, Thompson? |
33277 | What do you make of the inscription? |
33277 | What do you mean, Miss West? |
33277 | What do you mean? |
33277 | What do you mean? |
33277 | What do you think has happened? |
33277 | What happened? |
33277 | What have I got to offer? 33277 What have we been doing now?" |
33277 | What is at the back of your mind, Sage? |
33277 | What is the detective for if it''s not to solve mysteries? |
33277 | What odd trick? |
33277 | What on earth are you talking about? |
33277 | What on earth do you know about it? |
33277 | What other things? |
33277 | What pattern? |
33277 | What reply are we to make? |
33277 | What should you do? |
33277 | What the devil''s up with old Sage and Onions? |
33277 | What the hell have you done with that girl, and who''s closed my offices? |
33277 | What then? |
33277 | What would you suggest doing? |
33277 | What''s that? |
33277 | What''s the matter, Tommy? |
33277 | What''s the use of morals? |
33277 | What''s through me? |
33277 | What''s wrong? |
33277 | What? |
33277 | When did you first notice this? |
33277 | When does he go to Streatham? |
33277 | Where am I to tell him? |
33277 | Where are you going to stay? |
33277 | Where are you staying? |
33277 | Where are you taking us to dinner? |
33277 | Where is she now? |
33277 | Where the deuce have you been hiding all this time? |
33277 | Where will you end, Rojjie? |
33277 | Where''s Finlay? |
33277 | Where''s the bear, Wessie? |
33277 | Where''s the tea? |
33277 | Where-- how----? |
33277 | Who is Jim? |
33277 | Who is he? 33277 Who the devil''s going to issue all these warrants?" |
33277 | Who was she? |
33277 | Who''ll stare at you? |
33277 | Who''s Wessie, anyhow? |
33277 | Who''s going to guarantee that the War Cabinet does n''t talk in its sleep? |
33277 | Who''s looking after him? |
33277 | Who''s shut my offices? |
33277 | Who? |
33277 | Whose flat? |
33277 | Why did n''t you act before? |
33277 | Why did you come here? |
33277 | Why did you let him do it? |
33277 | Why do n''t you take the Skipper into your confidence, Sage? |
33277 | Why do you smile? |
33277 | Why is it that we women love men? |
33277 | Why not have a try yourself? |
33277 | Why not try the taxi? |
33277 | Why not? |
33277 | Why should I be here if I did n''t? |
33277 | Why should n''t I be well? |
33277 | Why should n''t we be frank and open about such matters? 33277 Why was my order to the Ritzton cancelled? |
33277 | Why wo n''t you take it? |
33277 | Why, mother? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Why? |
33277 | Will you come this way? 33277 With that Bergen fellow''s?" |
33277 | Wo n''t you come with us? |
33277 | Wondering what? |
33277 | Worth to me? |
33277 | Would n''t it be funny to call him Jack? |
33277 | Would n''t what? |
33277 | Would n''t you like to ring up the Agent- General for Can''da and find out who I am? |
33277 | Would she? |
33277 | Would you sooner I went? |
33277 | Would you-- would you? |
33277 | Yes, do n''t you remember? |
33277 | Yes, from that place-- where was it, North? |
33277 | Yes; but whose orders? |
33277 | Yes; what do they pay you? |
33277 | You find London interesting? |
33277 | You have been comfortable? |
33277 | You have been seeing the sights? |
33277 | You know anything about it? |
33277 | You know anything about submarines? |
33277 | You like them? |
33277 | You remember the Winthorpe murder case, Sir Roger? |
33277 | You remember the initials inside, chief? |
33277 | You remember the lost code- book? |
33277 | You see,she added,"he broke my teapot, and he owes me something for that, does n''t he?" |
33277 | You seriously suggest this publicity? |
33277 | You should have assumed that two such desirable people as mother and me were dining out every night, should n''t he, mother? |
33277 | You think it is like? |
33277 | You think so? |
33277 | You think? |
33277 | You what? |
33277 | You wish to see the First Lord? |
33277 | You''ll be here until it''s all through? |
33277 | You''re in love with him, Dorothy, are n''t you? |
33277 | You''re very kind, Mr. Dene,she said,"but is it-- is it----?" |
33277 | You''ve got everything? |
33277 | You''ve wirelessed? |
33277 | ''s conception of the detective then?" |
33277 | Above all, why had John Dene taken a taxi when he had been warned against it? |
33277 | Are you going to send for it to Herbert Jenkins Ltd., 3, York Street, St. James''s, London, S.W.1? |
33277 | But ought I to go at eleven o''clock, Miss Cunliffe?" |
33277 | But what I want to know is, what is it in a man that attracts a girl?" |
33277 | But,"he burst out excitedly,"why on earth does Sage want to advertise our anxiety as to Dene''s whereabouts? |
33277 | By the way, what did happen to John Dene of Toronto? |
33277 | By the way,"he said, as he reached the door,"what time did this little tea- fight take place?" |
33277 | CHAPTER III DEPARTMENT Z. I"Mr. Sage there? |
33277 | CHAPTER IV GINGERING- UP THE ADMIRALTY"Boss in?" |
33277 | Can I come round with Admiral Heyworth and an-- er-- inventor? |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Dene?" |
33277 | Did Scotland Yard think that John Dene had disguised himself with a false beard? |
33277 | Did you know of this?" |
33277 | Did you know this at the time?" |
33277 | Do you get me?" |
33277 | Everybody at the Admiralty says he''ll get a title, and you''ll have to say to the servants,''Is her ladyship at home?'' |
33277 | Had he been drugged? |
33277 | Have I your permission to proceed?" |
33277 | Have n''t you seen the papers?" |
33277 | He had worn himself out, she decided, or was it that he was being drugged? |
33277 | Her search- lights----""But how have you done it?" |
33277 | How did you know?" |
33277 | I suppose we can get tea around here?" |
33277 | II"Was that the telephone?" |
33277 | If a man offers you a pedigree- pup for nothing, and you want a pedigree- pup, would n''t you just hold out your hand?" |
33277 | In future he----"Here, who the hell''s shut my offices, and where''s Miss West?" |
33277 | Mr. Dene, what''s happened?" |
33277 | Now confess, mother, are n''t you?" |
33277 | Now is n''t she?" |
33277 | Now we shall insist upon your taking us to tea, wo n''t we, mother?" |
33277 | Now what do you think he''d do?" |
33277 | Now, is it a deal?" |
33277 | Now, why is the submarine blind? |
33277 | Of course I must n''t do that, must I?" |
33277 | One man wired from St. Andrews that he was tracking a strange man round the golf course, would Scotland Yard telegraph a warrant for his arrest? |
33277 | She outrages all the dear old Victorian conventions, does n''t she?" |
33277 | Sir Bridgman lit a cigarette, then after a short silence Sir Lyster said tentatively:"I suppose it is n''t the Americans?" |
33277 | Tell me, where is it? |
33277 | That so?" |
33277 | The notice drawn up by Department Z. ran: MISSING £ 10,000 REWARD Where is JOHN DENE of TORONTO? |
33277 | Then as an after- thought he added,"to a girl?" |
33277 | Then with a sudden change of mood she added:"But why should n''t a girl be pleased because she''s got nice legs, mother?" |
33277 | Was he waiting for her? |
33277 | Was it relief that he saw? |
33277 | Was there any danger of the telephone system being interrupted? |
33277 | We----""Did n''t you want father to kiss you?" |
33277 | West?" |
33277 | West?" |
33277 | What I want to know is how long this will last?" |
33277 | What do you think I had better do?" |
33277 | What girl?" |
33277 | What is he? |
33277 | What is it that makes them want to hold hands?" |
33277 | What say you, Grayne?" |
33277 | What should we have done without you Canadians?" |
33277 | What use am I to a woman?" |
33277 | What was John Dene to her that she should miss him? |
33277 | What was she doing? |
33277 | What will people think when we offer ten thousand pounds for news of John Dene of Toronto?" |
33277 | What would be said?" |
33277 | What would you have done?" |
33277 | What''s that? |
33277 | Where do you go for lunch?" |
33277 | Why do n''t you stop''em? |
33277 | Why do you think girls wear pretty shoes and stockings, and low cut blouses as thin as a cobweb?" |
33277 | Why had he been so interested in the taxi that was bearing John Dene away, and why had he tried to signal to other vehicles passing along Pall Mall? |
33277 | Why had he come to London to drive to desperation an already over- worked department? |
33277 | Why not promise him something dramatic in a few weeks''time? |
33277 | Why should I do it?" |
33277 | Why should I do it?" |
33277 | Why should n''t we talk about it? |
33277 | Why the hell ca n''t you decide on a thing at once, when you''ve got everything before you? |
33277 | Why?" |
33277 | Will you give me some idea of your business?" |
33277 | Would they find out at what time he left the hotel? |
33277 | You get me?" |
33277 | You get me?" |
33277 | You see,"she continued slowly, gazing away from her mother,"it''s always difficult to---- What made you love-- care for father?" |
33277 | You wo n''t forget, mother, will you?" |
33277 | You''re a stenographer?" |
33277 | You''ve seen the papers?" |
33277 | cried Dorothy reproachfully,"how can you be so unkind? |
33277 | cried John Dene, then he asked suddenly:"What are you?" |
33277 | did n''t I, then why do you suppose I''ve got my new stockings on?" |
33277 | exclaimed Sir Lyster in alarm,"what is to be done?" |
33277 | he cried,"where can I buy a pound of tea?" |
33277 | repeated Sir Lyster,"Jim who?" |
33277 | said Mrs. West,"only we''re not in quite the right clothes for the Ritzton, are we?" |
33277 | say?" |
33277 | say?" |
33277 | were n''t they?" |
33277 | what girl?" |
33277 | why will you never be serious?" |
2417 | ''My God, Captain Strangwise,''says Matthews, as the trio appeared,''What''s happened?'' 2417 , repeated the Chief, as if talking to himself,"Why do you think that?" |
2417 | ... And you''ll use your influence to make those other fellows with you drop it, will you, Spencer? 2417 7.45, eh?" |
2417 | About Mackwayte... how long was he dead when they found him? 2417 About his escape from Germany?" |
2417 | Alive? |
2417 | All ready, Bellward? |
2417 | And Madame Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | And do you think that Mortimer did this murder? |
2417 | And from there? |
2417 | And how, may I ask? 2417 And if we have?" |
2417 | And that is? |
2417 | And then? |
2417 | And this gentleman here, Matthews? |
2417 | And what did she say her mother''s name was? |
2417 | And what did the Chief say? |
2417 | And what was Strangwise''s real name? |
2417 | And what''s your opinion about this disguise of mine? |
2417 | And where are we going, might I inquire? |
2417 | And you think I''ll do, Crook, eh? |
2417 | And you? |
2417 | Any finger- prints? |
2417 | Any luck at the agent''s, daddy? |
2417 | Any news of your hundred thousand pound kit? |
2417 | Any orders about me? |
2417 | Anything from Gordon and Duff? |
2417 | Anything from the Nineveh? |
2417 | Are n''t we going to Bath? |
2417 | Are you also of the Prussian Guard, comrade? |
2417 | Are you lunching anywhere, Okewood? |
2417 | Are you sure that is all you have to say to me? |
2417 | Are you, by George? |
2417 | Arrest''em? 2417 Barney?" |
2417 | Broken it already? |
2417 | But I say, sir,objected Mr. Marigold,"the military authorities will hardly stand for that last, will they?" |
2417 | But are there no clues or finger- prints or anything of that kind here, Marigold? |
2417 | But are you sure the police have n''t taken it? |
2417 | But did she leave no note or anything for me? |
2417 | But how on earth is Nur- el- what''s her name concerned in this murder, Maurice? |
2417 | But how will we manage it? |
2417 | But how? |
2417 | But how? |
2417 | But if they like you, daddy, if it goes down... what will you give them, daddy? |
2417 | But is n''t it strange,he went on,"to think of the Star of Poland lying out there on the bed of the Channel? |
2417 | But is this all you''ve got against Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | But not the House of Hohenzollern? |
2417 | But surely if you found evidence of his connection with this gang of spies, it should be easy to get a clue to the rest of the crowd? |
2417 | But the car? |
2417 | But the theatre, your professional engagements? |
2417 | But what about his judgment? 2417 But what is there against her?" |
2417 | But what''s in the big cupboard, I wonder? 2417 But when shall I see you again?" |
2417 | But where is this rendezvous of yours, might I ask? |
2417 | But who the devil are you? |
2417 | But who''s this? |
2417 | But why not have put the jewel in a bank or one of the safe deposits? 2417 But why?" |
2417 | But wo n''t you mix yourself a drink? 2417 But wo n''t you tell me what has happened?" |
2417 | But you will come to my room, hein? |
2417 | But, damn it, Marigold,exclaimed the Chief, laughing,"you have n''t told us whose hair it is?" |
2417 | Can Minna and the girl go to Campden Hill alone? |
2417 | Clues? 2417 Come, ma petite, you will help me recover my little box, n''est- ce pas? |
2417 | Dear me, did n''t I, Okewood? |
2417 | Des,he asked;"what do you make of it? |
2417 | Did everything go off all right? |
2417 | Did n''t the Chief tell you? |
2417 | Did n''t you know, Barling, had n''t you heard, about Captain Strangwise''s escape from a German prisoners of war camp? |
2417 | Did she see the man? |
2417 | Did the crowd spot me? |
2417 | Did you have a good night? |
2417 | Did you say I was in? |
2417 | Did you see the newspapers yesterday? |
2417 | Do I understand that you refuse to serve under me any longer? |
2417 | Do you know that hat? |
2417 | Do you know this lady of the artistic temperament, Maurice? |
2417 | Do you know whom I mean? |
2417 | Do you mean to say you ca n''t arrest them? |
2417 | Do you think this play- acting will deceive me? 2417 Do you think you''re strong enough to hear some news?" |
2417 | Do you wish to see the body, sir? |
2417 | Escaped, escaped? 2417 From Victoria, I suppose?" |
2417 | Glad to see you looking so well, Major,he said,"It''s your friend we want...""What? |
2417 | Go on, Barney,said the detective,"ca n''t you see the gentlemen are waiting?" |
2417 | Going back to France? 2417 Good Lord''man''where have you been living?" |
2417 | Has... has she... has the sentence already been carried out? |
2417 | Have you anything further to say, Desmond? |
2417 | Have you brought them all? |
2417 | Have you ever seen her? 2417 Have you heard nothing about this young lady from the Chief?" |
2417 | He has lived here for some years, I suppose? |
2417 | How could I have forgotten it? |
2417 | How do you mean? |
2417 | How much leave have you got? |
2417 | How on earth did you know that I was at the Palaceum last night? |
2417 | Hullo, Maurice,he said,"are you off, too?" |
2417 | I have told the trewth, sir,he said hoarsely,"and it goes against me, do n''t it? |
2417 | I hope you will allow me to express my condolences...? |
2417 | I say, you are n''t going to implicate old Strangwise, too, are you? |
2417 | I shall be delighted to receive our friends,Desmond replied,"a glass of sherry?" |
2417 | I suppose she told you a long story of my persecution, eh, Bellward? 2417 I suppose you''ve got something to go on?" |
2417 | I thought you were seeing Strangwise, at two? |
2417 | I told you that once before... that night we met at your house... do you remember? 2417 I''m going to utilize my advantage to the best I know how,"retorted Strangwise, snapping the words,"that''s good strategy, is n''t it, Desmond? |
2417 | If what? |
2417 | Impossible? 2417 Impossible?" |
2417 | Is Miss Mackwayte ill? |
2417 | Is it Miss Mackwayte? |
2417 | Is n''t that a car? |
2417 | Is the girl sleeping? |
2417 | Is this another of your infernal surprise packets? |
2417 | It is Captain Okewood,said the loafer,"you do n''t remember me, sir?" |
2417 | Kill Desmond? 2417 Mackwayte? |
2417 | Mademoiselle was a leetle too clevaire,said the maid with an evil leer,--"she would rob Madame, would she? |
2417 | Major Okewood? |
2417 | Man alive,he went on,"how can you talk such nonsense in face of the evidence, with this bloody- minded woman''s victims hardly cold yet? |
2417 | Matthew''s,said Desmond as he supped,"would it be indiscreet to ask where we are?" |
2417 | May I ask how many guests I may expect? |
2417 | Meaning Behrend? |
2417 | Meaning Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Merely this; the cipher is in five figure groups, addressed to a four figure group and signed by a six figure group..."Well? |
2417 | Monsieur Bellward? |
2417 | Mrs. Malplaquet had put it very strite, so she''ad, and wot he wanted to know was what Mortimer''ad to siy? |
2417 | Murder? |
2417 | My tear Pellward,he cried,"it is a hondred year since I haf see you, not? |
2417 | No,answered the other;"but it was your disguise which was responsible for the escape of Strangwise--""What?" |
2417 | Nothing out of the ordinary happened during the night, I suppose? |
2417 | Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Of the office? |
2417 | Oh, dear,said Mortimer from his place on the hearth rug where he was warming his coat tails in front of the fire,"is n''t that unfortunate? |
2417 | Oh, sir,she exclaimed when she saw him,"was it about the rooms?" |
2417 | Oh,said Desmond, rather puzzled,"what doctor?" |
2417 | Okewood,he cried gaily,"what do you say to a little detective work? |
2417 | Okewood,he whispered but too low for the girl to distinguish the words,"Okewood? |
2417 | Or will the girl try and break away, do you think? |
2417 | Our host is silent,said Mrs. Malplaquet,"what does Mr. Bellward think about it?" |
2417 | Part of my work? |
2417 | Perhaps you would care to reconsider your decisions? |
2417 | Perhaps you would like me to leave you? |
2417 | Pick''em up? 2417 Really,"said Desmond,"that rather complicates things for her, does n''t it?" |
2417 | Say, are they giving unlimited leave over there now? |
2417 | Seen Strangwise this morning? |
2417 | Shall I tell you some more about yourself? 2417 Shall we go upstairs?" |
2417 | Shall we make a leetle promenade after the dejeuner? 2417 So soon?" |
2417 | So that''s your Star of Poland, is it? |
2417 | So you''re Barling, eh? |
2417 | Spencer,he said abruptly,"what''s worth seeing in London? |
2417 | Strangwise,he said,"had n''t you better tell us who you are?" |
2417 | Tell me where he is? 2417 Tell me,"he asked suddenly,"is Strangwise a liar, do you think?" |
2417 | Tell me,said the girl suddenly,"who was Strangwise?" |
2417 | That''s calculated to set one''s thoughts running all over the place, is n''t it? 2417 That''s right,"said the man, looking very intently at him,"feel a bit better, eh? |
2417 | The cellar? |
2417 | The maid did n''t see Nur- el- Din give you the box? |
2417 | Then Master Burglar did n''t burgle this room? |
2417 | Then it was n''t Miss Mackwayte who told you? |
2417 | Then why did he come up here at all? |
2417 | Then you are convinced in your own mind, Colonel, that this woman is a spy? |
2417 | Then you will lunch with me, eh? 2417 Then you''ve made an arrest?" |
2417 | These folk are dealt with somehow and every now and then one of''em gets shot, just to show that we are n''t asleep, do n''t you know? 2417 They''re murdering those two women down in the cellar,"she cried,"oh, what has happened? |
2417 | They''ve arrested her? |
2417 | This man on the stairs,queried the Chief,"did you see him?" |
2417 | This man who tied you up... you did n''t see him? |
2417 | This was a daylight raid, d''ye see, gentlemen? 2417 Transports, are n''t they?" |
2417 | Very few of you have, my friend,she replied,"but you are all under his orders, nest- ce pas?" |
2417 | Was there anything left in your absence? |
2417 | Well, Maurice? |
2417 | Well,he said curtly,"and where is my secretary?" |
2417 | Well,he said, surveying Desmond,"and how do we find ourselves to- day? |
2417 | Well,replied Desmond shortly,"what are you going to do about it?" |
2417 | Well? |
2417 | What about it? |
2417 | What are they going to do with Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | What are you going to do to- night? |
2417 | What did I say? |
2417 | What did it mean? |
2417 | What do you mean? 2417 What do you mean?" |
2417 | What do you want with me? |
2417 | What is the Star of Poland? |
2417 | What is there against her? 2417 What murder?" |
2417 | What sort of step? 2417 What station was that we started from?" |
2417 | What time did this attack take place? |
2417 | What time did you part from the Mackwaytes at the theatre last night? |
2417 | What will you tell him? |
2417 | What''s annoying? |
2417 | What''s the feller been up to? |
2417 | What, to see Nur- el- Din? 2417 What?" |
2417 | When we was down Arras way a few months ago the infantry was a- goin''to do a raid, see? 2417 Where are they going to take me, do you know?" |
2417 | Where are you speaking from? |
2417 | Where are you taking me? |
2417 | Where are your eyes, man? |
2417 | Where did you find it? |
2417 | Where have I met that woman before? |
2417 | Where is Miss Mackwayte? |
2417 | Where is it I Where is the silver box I gave into your charge? 2417 Where''s Minna?" |
2417 | Who does not know the charming Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Who is at the head of it? |
2417 | Who is it, Martha? |
2417 | Who is it? |
2417 | Who is this letter from? |
2417 | Whose trail? |
2417 | Why Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Why are you here, then? |
2417 | Why do you say I have stolen the box? |
2417 | Why do you think it was a large calibre pistol, Major? |
2417 | Why should you think this box should have been taken? 2417 Why then...?" |
2417 | Why, not the Seven Kings murder, surely? |
2417 | Why? |
2417 | Why? |
2417 | Will you accept his offer to remain on in the Secret Service? |
2417 | Will you come at once? 2417 Will you light me up to my room, Martha?" |
2417 | Will you take the necessary steps? |
2417 | Wot''ave yer done wiv''the sparklers, eh? |
2417 | Would you believe it? 2417 Would you tell me something about it?" |
2417 | Yes, and, of course, Captain Strangwise..."What about him? |
2417 | You heard what my housekeeper said? 2417 You must let me into this, Spencer,"he said,"what''s old Maurice been up to? |
2417 | You stand here gossiping with that man loose in the house? |
2417 | You will stay and talk to me while I change n''est- ce pas? 2417 You''re leaving here to- morrow then?" |
2417 | You''ve seen her then? |
2417 | ''Why do n''t you go home, my dear?'' |
2417 | 13,"he cried,"are you mad? |
2417 | A conjurer?" |
2417 | A deep voice cried:"May I ask what you are all doing in my house?" |
2417 | About our meeting the Mackwaytes last night?" |
2417 | All said and done, what had he actually told Desmond? |
2417 | And I should n''t have thought that the man who did it was the sort that carries a gun...""Then you know who did it?" |
2417 | And alone?" |
2417 | And had Nur- el- Din discovered their treachery? |
2417 | And had he sacrificed Barbara Mackwayte to his obstinacy and his credulousness? |
2417 | And he smiles... Well, rather often, does n''t he?" |
2417 | And lastly..."He paused, fearing to be rash; then he risked it:"And lastly, Nur- el- Din?" |
2417 | And say nothing to anybody about..."she pointed to Barbara''s bag where the little package was reposing,"it shall be a secret between us, hein? |
2417 | And the secret door showed us how they had gone...""But I thought you had a man posted at the back?" |
2417 | And then he said very deliberately in German:"War niemand da?" |
2417 | And then it come over me quite sudden- like that burglary and murder had been done in the house and wot would I say if a p''liceman come along? |
2417 | And vy did n''t I not do it? |
2417 | And what had he said? |
2417 | And who was his confederate? |
2417 | And you shall show me your pretty English country, voulez- vous? |
2417 | And, Mademoiselle, permit me? |
2417 | And, above all, when this knotty problem of make- up had been settled, how was he to proceed? |
2417 | Are there any developments, do you know?" |
2417 | Arrest''em? |
2417 | As for the others--""Gone?" |
2417 | As he did so, he heard the inn door open and Strangwise''s voice cry out:"Who''s that?" |
2417 | Barbara nodded"And going back to your work with the Chief?" |
2417 | Bellward seemed surprised for he cried quickly:"What? |
2417 | Bellward?" |
2417 | Bellward?" |
2417 | Bellward?" |
2417 | But how do you know Strangwise?" |
2417 | But how goes the enemy, Matthews?" |
2417 | But how? |
2417 | But how? |
2417 | But if they had murdered her, what had they done with the body? |
2417 | But look here; why not come over the wall and step inside the house with me? |
2417 | But perhaps, sir, you would like to see me this afternoon?" |
2417 | But tell me,"she added,"what about Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | But the end? |
2417 | But what do all these anxious- looking gentry want?" |
2417 | But what had become of the trio? |
2417 | But what''s the use? |
2417 | But where are you off to?" |
2417 | But who''s this?" |
2417 | But wo n''t you come in, sir?" |
2417 | But you are a German, hein?" |
2417 | But you can tell our friend all we know about the lady''s antecedents-- what we had from my French colleague the other day, you know? |
2417 | But, good heavens, man, surely I saw your name in the casualty list... missing, was n''t it?" |
2417 | By the way, what had Mortimer done with his car? |
2417 | By the window, was it not?" |
2417 | Chief...""What if we have?" |
2417 | Come to give us young''uns some tips?" |
2417 | Could he leave the meeting for 25 minutes without arousing suspicions? |
2417 | Could n''t I not haf drop the svag and ron away? |
2417 | Curious coincidence, is n''t it?" |
2417 | Curiously Prussian attitude of mind, is n''t it?" |
2417 | D''you want the''ole ruddy plice abart our ears?" |
2417 | Desmond, at a loss what to make of this extraordinary individual, answered at random:"The powers? |
2417 | Did Bellward undertake these trips to fetch news or to transmit it? |
2417 | Did I whine or snivel about being sent to my death as some of you were doing just now? |
2417 | Did she come down with you?" |
2417 | Did this person seem in a hurry?" |
2417 | Did you see any of her entourage? |
2417 | Did you see the assault at Verdun? |
2417 | Do you happen to know her house?" |
2417 | Do you know his story?" |
2417 | Do you know what you are saying?" |
2417 | Do you know where he is, Okewood?" |
2417 | Do you know who''s with him...?" |
2417 | Do you know why I intervened to save you?" |
2417 | Do you know why he really went back to the Dyke Inn?" |
2417 | Do you know, for instance, where she often spends the week- end? |
2417 | Do you think I could have my shoes and stockings dried and get some tea? |
2417 | Do you think I do n''t know the value of the treasure I was fool enough to entrust to your safe keeping? |
2417 | Do you want to lose your life, the lives of all of us, as well? |
2417 | Doubtless, you have cards, eh?" |
2417 | For the last time, Strangwise, will you clear out?" |
2417 | Got a bit of a crack, what? |
2417 | Got your props there? |
2417 | Had Mr. Marigold discovered that the Chief knew a great deal more about this mysterious affair than the detective knew himself? |
2417 | Had both Marie and Rass been in league with Strangwise against the dancer? |
2417 | Had he been wrong in thinking Nur- el- Din a victim? |
2417 | Had n''t she half- captivated him, the would- be spy- catcher, already? |
2417 | Had the odd man gone off in Mortimer''s car? |
2417 | Had there been foul play here, too? |
2417 | Had this frail girl done this unspeakable deed? |
2417 | Hafen''t I not gif myself op to the policeman? |
2417 | Has he been cashiered for wearing shoes or what?" |
2417 | Has she been appearing here long?" |
2417 | Have n''t you got any guts any of You? |
2417 | Have you come to interview me?" |
2417 | Have you got it?" |
2417 | He grinned and added:"Where''s your kit?" |
2417 | He had packed the cigarettes in his kit-- his kit which had gone over to France in the hold of the leave boat? |
2417 | He stopped to skirt a tram, then added suddenly:"Do you know him well, Okewood?" |
2417 | Her business manager, a fat Italian who calls himself Lazarro, did you notice him? |
2417 | Here?" |
2417 | How are you, Spencer? |
2417 | How are you, my friend? |
2417 | How did you know, before we ever went to Seven Kings, that Barney did not murder old Mackwayte? |
2417 | How do you mean, sir?" |
2417 | How much did this uncanny creature know? |
2417 | How on earth did the Chief know about his visit to the Palaceum? |
2417 | How on earth do you come to be in this state?" |
2417 | How was he, Desmond, to disguise himself to resemble him? |
2417 | I ca n''t think so... and yet...""But do you believe then, that Nur- el- Din murdered- old Mackwayte? |
2417 | I can not tell you, for her real name we have not been able to ascertain... parbleu, it is impossible, with the Boches at Warsaw, hein? |
2417 | I hear a step on the stair... a little, soft step... then ole Mac he open the curtain and cry''Who are you?'' |
2417 | I introduce le Captaine Strangwise and''is friend... what is the name? |
2417 | I might have guessed, since Miss Mackwayte knew Mortimer--""Miss Mackwayte knows Mortimer?" |
2417 | I say I haf stolen, but murder? |
2417 | I see the red flash and I smell the... the powder not? |
2417 | I sha n''t see you again...""You wo n''t see me again? |
2417 | I suppose you did n''t get my letter?" |
2417 | I wonder what he''s up to?" |
2417 | Is Strangwise that type?" |
2417 | Is all my sacrifice to have been in vain?" |
2417 | Is it a go?" |
2417 | Is it absolutely necessary for me to disappear?" |
2417 | Is it merely a coincidence that a hair, resembling Nur- el- Din''s, is found adhering to the straps with which Barbara Mackwayte was bound? |
2417 | Is it the police?" |
2417 | Is n''t it so?" |
2417 | Is n''t there a man in the room besides me? |
2417 | Is our friend to live for ever?" |
2417 | Is that right?" |
2417 | It was an awful charge to bring against an orficer, d''you see? |
2417 | It''s about Strangwise, is n''t it?" |
2417 | It''s because I admire all this about him that I think perhaps it''s just jealousy on my part when I feel...""What?" |
2417 | It''s part of your work to look after deserters and absentees and those sort o''folk, is n''t it?" |
2417 | Just in from France?" |
2417 | Let him have all the particulars about this Barling case-- you know about that, do n''t you? |
2417 | Mackwayte?" |
2417 | Madame Le Bon? |
2417 | Marcelle, taking off her heavy head- dress, answered quickly:"Who told you that?" |
2417 | Might n''t they have been planted on her in order to get her arrested to draw the suspicion away from the real criminal, yourself?" |
2417 | Might not Marie have come to tell her that Barbara Mackwayte was below asking for her? |
2417 | Mortimer?" |
2417 | My friend, where are your eyes?" |
2417 | No trace of the others? |
2417 | No? |
2417 | Now do you understand why I did n''t want you to think I was flattering you? |
2417 | Now will you come with me?" |
2417 | Oh, it''s you, Gordon? |
2417 | Oi, oi, oi, how shall you belief vot I tell?" |
2417 | Or do you?" |
2417 | Or is he one of these harum- scarum soldier of fortune sort of chaps?" |
2417 | Our meatless day, eh?" |
2417 | Promise it, my friend?" |
2417 | Really? |
2417 | Rescue''em?" |
2417 | See, I will wrap it up and seal it, and then you will take it home with you, n''est- ce pas?" |
2417 | Shall we have him in? |
2417 | She would play the espionne, hein? |
2417 | Should he make a dash for it or stay where he was and await developments? |
2417 | Should he shout? |
2417 | Should he try and break the window? |
2417 | Six o''clock suit you?" |
2417 | So this was Mrs. Malplaquet''s house, was it? |
2417 | Someone had mentioned Barbara that night in the library but who was it? |
2417 | Strangwise is a Canadian, is n''t he?" |
2417 | Strangwise? |
2417 | Suppose Mortimer, growing suspicious, had made use of Nur- el- Din to lure him to an ambush in this lonely place? |
2417 | Surely it was risky to have entrusted it to a girl of whom you knew nothing?" |
2417 | That is not the way of the Prussian Guard...""The Prussian Guard?" |
2417 | That is your offer, is n''t it? |
2417 | That''s the count, ai n''t it? |
2417 | That''s what Hamley and all the military writers teach, is n''t it? |
2417 | Then a voice, as faint as a voice on a long distance telephone, said:"Well, how are you feeling?" |
2417 | Then he added:"Just tell Miss Mackwayte I want her as you go out, will you?" |
2417 | Then he spoke into the telephone:"Marigold? |
2417 | Then she goes out motoring with...""But why in Heaven''s name are all these people allowed to run loose?" |
2417 | Then to Harrison, he added:"That''s what we''ve got to discover... hullo, who''s this?" |
2417 | Then, looking up archly at Desmond, she said:"Am I so distasteful, then, to have in your house?" |
2417 | They''ll nab her, eh?" |
2417 | To send her to the gallows or before a firing- squad-- was this to be the end of his mission? |
2417 | Turning to the Chief he added with a touch of formality:"May Gunner Barling tell his story, sir?" |
2417 | Vot do I know of London? |
2417 | Was Mortimer''s the guiding hand of this network of conspiracy? |
2417 | Was Strangwise staying at"The Dyke Inn"? |
2417 | Was he supposed to know him? |
2417 | Was he too late? |
2417 | Was he, after all, nothing but a credulous fool who had been hoodwinked by a pretty woman''s play- acting? |
2417 | Was it heavy or light or what? |
2417 | Was it possible, Desmond wondered, that he could believe that Desmond had scrambled back over the wall? |
2417 | Was the uninvited guest the deus ex machina who was to help him, Desmond, out of his present perilous fix? |
2417 | Was there anybody else in the room when she gave you the package?" |
2417 | Was this a callous murderess, a hired spy, who, with her great eyes brimming over with tears, entreated his protection so simply, so appealingly? |
2417 | Was this to be the end of the pleasant trip into the country on which she had embarked so readily only a few hours before? |
2417 | We had to employ a rather drastic form of the third degree for her, did n''t we, Strangwise?" |
2417 | We will''ave a talk, nest- ce pas?" |
2417 | Well, Strangwise, what are we waiting for? |
2417 | Well, what do you want from me in exchange?" |
2417 | Were you at Metz with his Imperial Highness? |
2417 | Were you present at the capture of the Fort of Douaumont?" |
2417 | What a shocking affair this is about old Mackwayte, is n''t it? |
2417 | What about her?" |
2417 | What about his uniform strewn about the compartment where he had changed? |
2417 | What am I going back to France for?" |
2417 | What am I here for? |
2417 | What becomes of her? |
2417 | What chance could he, unarmed as he was, have against them? |
2417 | What did Bellward look like? |
2417 | What do you say, Matthews?" |
2417 | What does the doctor say?" |
2417 | What had happened to Major Okewood? |
2417 | What have you got to do with criminal cases, anyway? |
2417 | What if Nur- el- Din had succeeded in making good her escape to the Continent? |
2417 | What if this were a trap? |
2417 | What led you to suppose she was?" |
2417 | What on earth could induce her to adopt this tone of condescension towards him? |
2417 | What on earth did she want with him? |
2417 | What part am I to play in this business anyway?" |
2417 | What sent you away in such a hurry this afternoon? |
2417 | What the devil did the Chief want with him anyhow? |
2417 | What the devil do you mean by it? |
2417 | What then had become of her? |
2417 | What value has a trifling object like that? |
2417 | What was the use of struggling further? |
2417 | What''s amiss? |
2417 | What''s that? |
2417 | What''s the betting in Fleet Street on the war lasting another five years? |
2417 | When she had finished, the Chief said, addressing Lambelet:"What do you make of it, Colonel?" |
2417 | When will you come and meet him at my house?" |
2417 | When?" |
2417 | Where Is your theatre? |
2417 | Where did lie live? |
2417 | Where did she say she went to when she escaped to Brussels?" |
2417 | Where is he? |
2417 | Where is he? |
2417 | Where the deuce is my housekeeper? |
2417 | Where, then, was he? |
2417 | Which is it?" |
2417 | Who are you?" |
2417 | Who did it, d''you think, sir?" |
2417 | Who is hunting you? |
2417 | Who is on the bill with you?" |
2417 | Who is this Mortimer that he should seek to do you harm?" |
2417 | Who was it, then? |
2417 | Whom did he go to meet? |
2417 | Whose hair do you think that is?" |
2417 | Why did n''t you?" |
2417 | Why did you have me followed last night? |
2417 | Why did you send for me? |
2417 | Why had n''t he asked the Chief all these questions? |
2417 | Why should Francis thus lay down the law to him about Nur- el- Din? |
2417 | Why should Matthews think that Miss Mackwayte was down here? |
2417 | Why should he not telephone in Mortimer''s presence? |
2417 | Why should he show his hand? |
2417 | Why the devil had n''t he brought a revolver with him? |
2417 | Why, who do you think I ran into at Harris''this morning? |
2417 | Will you smoke?" |
2417 | Will you take this little box and keep it safely for me until... until... the war is over... until I ask you for it?" |
2417 | With Desmond Okewood discretion was second nature, and therefore he answered with feigned surprise:"Your evidence about what? |
2417 | Wo n''t you go down and see?" |
2417 | Would it draw her? |
2417 | Would that chance come again? |
2417 | Would you call him a well- balanced fellow? |
2417 | Would you mind putting them on? |
2417 | Would you ring and ask the maid to telephone for a taxi?" |
2417 | Yet how could he get away unobserved? |
2417 | You are the pattern of prudence, are you not?" |
2417 | You have only to ask this Miss-- what was the name? |
2417 | You know the way the nails are set in the issue boots?" |
2417 | You know where she''s staying? |
2417 | You serve the German Empire, do you not?" |
2417 | You understand me, hein? |
2417 | You understand, Bellward?" |
2417 | You understand? |
2417 | You understand? |
2417 | You understand?" |
2417 | You understand?" |
2417 | You were given the job of breaking up this organization, were n''t you?" |
2417 | You will come and see me, nest- ce pas? |
2417 | You''re going to give up the Star of Poland, are n''t you?" |
2417 | You''ve got her, eh? |
2417 | You, Bellward, or you, Max, or you, No.13? |
2417 | You, if any one, should be better able to say what has become of it...""Quoi?" |
2417 | and in so romantic a fashion? |
2417 | exclaimed Nur- el- Din in genuine surprise,"comment?" |
2417 | he asked quietly,"and why do you speak German in my house?" |
2417 | he cried,"for Gawd''s sake, put it away, carn''t yer? |
2417 | he exclaimed, his eyes on the figure crouching in the corner,"you do n''t mean to say you''ve got her? |
2417 | if he should find out what I have done... you will not give me up to this man?" |
2417 | put in Francis,"are n''t you forgetting that blue envelope we took off her just now?" |
2417 | repeated Mr. Mackwayte''"what is it, Fletcher? |
2417 | retorted Desmond,"and what of it? |
2417 | said Desmond, with a shade of disappointment in his voice,"will she be back for tea?" |
2417 | said Mortimer,"who was that, I wonder? |
2417 | said the Chief in disgust,"and, look here, ca n''t you give him a drink? |
2417 | said the other man,"but wo n''t you introduce me first?" |
2417 | said the young man and touched the other on the shoulder,"is n''t it Desmond Okewood? |
2417 | she cried,"you are''ere to sell it back to me, hein, or to get your blood money from your accomplice? |
2417 | she went on as though he had not spoken,"how could I have forgotten it? |
2417 | shouted Mortimer,"what the devil do you mean by that?" |
2417 | the Prince Imperial?" |
2417 | the man laughed,"you understand nothing of what we are saying, do you?" |
2417 | what was that?" |
2417 | you know that gentleman, mon cher?" |
38131 | ''Spencerian Peter,''eh? |
38131 | A figure- four trap, eh? |
38131 | A rev''nue agent? |
38131 | About two weeks before Gerard did? |
38131 | Across the table from you? 38131 All well and good, Chief,"he commented,"but how would the army help you any? |
38131 | Allison or the Norcross girl? |
38131 | Alone? |
38131 | An accident? |
38131 | And I''m the one who''s got to handle it? |
38131 | And Miss Lang? |
38131 | And keep him under constant surveillance? 38131 And she pays you for your time in between?" |
38131 | And the seal was intact when you came in yesterday afternoon? |
38131 | And what time did Mrs. Prentice leave? |
38131 | And who got the credit for solving the puzzle? |
38131 | And yet,said Preston,"I understand that in spite of his precautions he was killed last night?" |
38131 | And you''ve told me all the truth-- every bit of it? |
38131 | Anita? |
38131 | Any chance of recovering the body? |
38131 | Any comment about the package? |
38131 | Any mail? |
38131 | Any phone messages? |
38131 | Any women in sight? |
38131 | Anyone I know? |
38131 | Anyone present that you suspect of forgery or beating his wife? |
38131 | Anything else beside watching him? |
38131 | Anything serious? |
38131 | Apart from his wanting to be alone, then, he was pretty close to being human? |
38131 | Are these all the letters that have been received? |
38131 | Are you certain? 38131 Arrest for what?" |
38131 | Ask him,insisted the chief of police,"how he killed Montgomery?" |
38131 | At midnight? 38131 At nine o''clock?" |
38131 | Bags? 38131 Before Mrs. Vaughan came to town?" |
38131 | Bolshevist? |
38131 | But I thought his body was found near the door? |
38131 | But I thought--"That he desired your life? 38131 But Rita,"Graham protested,"you do n''t mean to say that you''re going to put yourself entirely in this man''s power?" |
38131 | But are n''t the detective stories of real life interesting and oftentimes exciting? |
38131 | But how do you know it was n''t a bullet of the same caliber, fired from outside the window? |
38131 | But how in the name of Heaven did you get the answer so quickly? |
38131 | But how''d you happen to arrive here at the right moment? |
38131 | But no clue as to the location of the body of the beast? |
38131 | But the message Callahan sent? |
38131 | But the trap-- the milk? 38131 But what I''d like to know,"he asked, as they strolled back toward the main ballroom,"is how you engineered the affair?" |
38131 | But what about your luncheon engagement? |
38131 | But what of them? 38131 But what was it you feared?" |
38131 | But what,grumbled Walters,"has that to do with the Black Tom explosion?" |
38131 | But who was the man? |
38131 | But who,I persisted, as Quinn stopped,"was Jack Stewart and what was the nature of the affair upon which he stumbled in Mexico City?" |
38131 | But,I inquired, as he paused,"what became of Dawson and Stewart?" |
38131 | But,as one army officer phrased it,"what''s the use of a convoy if they know just where you are? |
38131 | By the way, Boyd, have you or any of your men been in the Service more than four years? |
38131 | By the way,added the operative,"might I see it?" |
38131 | Ca n''t I see something more of you while we are in New York? 38131 Ca n''t you guess? |
38131 | Can I? |
38131 | Can you get to your office in ten minutes? |
38131 | Can you look me straight in the eyes and say that they have n''t paid you for being blind? 38131 Can you tell me now what it was you started to say about Conner''s?" |
38131 | Care to outline it? |
38131 | Conner''s? 38131 Couple that with the fact that the box was empty when you found it and I think we will have--""What?" |
38131 | Dad''s place? |
38131 | Derwent and Mahoney? |
38131 | Did Boyd or any of the other department operatives ask to see the plans of the post office? |
38131 | Did Weimar ever come to see you? |
38131 | Did he talk with a German accent? |
38131 | Did more than one person write the letters? |
38131 | Did n''t I tell you that Al was married? 38131 Did n''t he say''sheep- stinger''?" |
38131 | Did n''t think I''d see through your scheme to get a position here and your infernal cleverness with the books and the accounts? 38131 Did n''t wait long for another assignment, did he?" |
38131 | Did n''t you know I would? |
38131 | Did n''t you mention a post- office case in which a wad of gum played a prominent role? |
38131 | Did she meet anyone? |
38131 | Did the men have any bags with them? |
38131 | Did you catch the name of the man to whom your friends were alluding? |
38131 | Did you ever hear of the place they called Conner''s, Chief? |
38131 | Did you know anything about the poison- pen letters in Madison? |
38131 | Did you pick up any jewels in the Catskills? |
38131 | Did you see? |
38131 | Do n''t look like the writing of the same person, do they? |
38131 | Do n''t you know Jimmy Callahan? 38131 Do you admit that you deliberately brought seven thousand five hundred dollars of counterfeit money here and tried to pass it?" |
38131 | Do you believe that moonshining is right? |
38131 | Do you happen to have a copy of yesterday''s_ News_ handy? |
38131 | Do you know how long it was between the time that she entered the building and the time she left? |
38131 | Do you know where Rockwell is now? |
38131 | Do you mean to say it worked? |
38131 | Do you mean to say,asked one of the men at the table,"that you can tell that a man is a criminal simply by looking at him?" |
38131 | Do you recall any record of a check for one hundred and fifty thousand dollars upon the State National drawn and cashed this morning? |
38131 | Do you remember the disappearance of the plans of the battleship_ Pennsylvania_? |
38131 | Do you see that little square marked with a white star and the letter''L''? |
38131 | Does n''t the speedometer give you the distance? |
38131 | Does the Filipino know anything about his master''s past? |
38131 | Does this Austrian, this here Buch feller ye''re lookin''for, like music? 38131 Else how would they know when to lay off? |
38131 | First time you ever saw this, eh? |
38131 | From what ports are transports sailing within the next couple of weeks? |
38131 | Go down to the refrigerator and find out, will you? 38131 Going to take anybody with you?" |
38131 | Got that? |
38131 | Had he bled to death? |
38131 | Has Miss James been able to discover anything of the lady''s past history? |
38131 | Has he any relatives? |
38131 | Has one of the diamonds a heart- shaped flaw in it? |
38131 | Has the combination been changed recently? |
38131 | Have you a record of the home address of the people employed in the Mint? |
38131 | Have you discovered anything? |
38131 | Have you heard about the murder of Montgomery Marshall? |
38131 | Have you the letter you received? |
38131 | Have you? |
38131 | He''s going to show you what is in the double- locked room? |
38131 | Here, would you like to try it? |
38131 | How about a poisoned bullet, fired through the opening in the window? |
38131 | How about bribing one of the employees to leave? |
38131 | How about overhearing his directions to the men he meets in the open? |
38131 | How about the Tysons and the Osgoods and the other people who brought these letters in-- didn''t they receive subsequent demands for money? |
38131 | How about the Ypiranga case? |
38131 | How about the maid? |
38131 | How did this man work it right under our eyes? |
38131 | How did you know it was lost? |
38131 | How did you know it? |
38131 | How do you know he has n''t it already? |
38131 | How do you know? 38131 How far am I allowed to go?" |
38131 | How is it, then, that every story you''ve told dealt with the success of a government agent-- never with his failure? |
38131 | How long has this been going on? |
38131 | How long was the taxi there? |
38131 | How many men know the combination to the vault door? |
38131 | How many? |
38131 | How much do you know about the case? |
38131 | How much gold did you say was missing? |
38131 | How much time? |
38131 | How''d you get away? |
38131 | How''d you know where to find it? |
38131 | How? |
38131 | How? |
38131 | Huh? 38131 Huh?" |
38131 | I will,promised Marks,"but who are you? |
38131 | I''m returning to Washington on the Congressional, but I''ll be sure to see you at the de Maurys'', wo n''t I? 38131 If that''s the case,"cut in another,"why do n''t you lock''em all up?" |
38131 | In his hand? |
38131 | In that case,muttered the chief at the other end of the wire,"why in Heaven''s name did n''t he get them when they came in?" |
38131 | In the building? 38131 In the scale house?" |
38131 | Is Mr. MacPherson, the purser of the_ Atlantic_, there? |
38131 | Is n''t Petersen behaving himself? |
38131 | Is n''t it possible,he suggested,"to plant your men close enough to Weimar to find out, for example, what he talks about over the phone?" |
38131 | Is that the name? |
38131 | Is that the way it always stays? |
38131 | Is that the way they are usually arranged? |
38131 | Is this Mr. Preston of the Postal Inspection Service? |
38131 | Is this the way the door of the grille ordinarily hangs? |
38131 | It is rather pretty, is n''t it? 38131 It would take a better man than I am to decipher this,"and he read off:"I i i t f b b t t x o....""Code?" |
38131 | Just want to ask what you know about Mrs. Mahlon Prentice? |
38131 | Light? |
38131 | Look into it? |
38131 | Madelaine,he inquired,"what do you know of a certain Mrs. Lelia Armitage?" |
38131 | Madison? 38131 Meaning what?" |
38131 | Mind the what? |
38131 | Money? 38131 Morgantown?" |
38131 | Mr. Preston? 38131 Murder?" |
38131 | Murphy,said the Green- and- White manager,"where was your cab last night?" |
38131 | Music? |
38131 | My business? |
38131 | New York? 38131 No chance of a slip- up in your information, is there, Chief?" |
38131 | No chance of her being mixed up in the affair? |
38131 | No doubt that your man heard the splash when Holden went overboard last night? |
38131 | No? 38131 No?" |
38131 | Not directly-- but what other purpose could a person have than to extract money? 38131 Not smoking?" |
38131 | Not the slightest indication of where Gerard went? |
38131 | Nothing missing? |
38131 | Now that we''ve got her,inquired Madelaine James,"what''ll we do with her?" |
38131 | Of course you''re willing to state where they came from? |
38131 | Oh, it was a Green- and- White, eh? |
38131 | On the Congressional Limited, eh? |
38131 | Plant it? |
38131 | Rather long for her to make her way to the office of her husband, find he was n''t there, and come right back, was n''t it? |
38131 | Recognise them? |
38131 | Report? 38131 Rita, I can''t--"Graham started to argue, but the girl cut in with,"You ca n''t stop me? |
38131 | Same rules as on the Coast, eh? |
38131 | Seem to be familiar with anyone on board? |
38131 | Seen a ghost or something? |
38131 | Shall we go after it from this end, Chief? |
38131 | Sit down and have something? 38131 So that was the trick, eh?" |
38131 | Some more of your highfalutin''detective work, eh? |
38131 | Somebody who ought n''t to be here? |
38131 | Something stirring? |
38131 | Sounded like a ghost, did n''t it? |
38131 | Sprague? |
38131 | Sprague? |
38131 | Still believe von Ewald is a myth? |
38131 | Story in what? |
38131 | Strange, was n''t it, how that pair stumbled across one of the first tentacles of the World War in front of a cafà © in Mexico City? 38131 Stranger,"he inquired,"what might yo''name be?" |
38131 | Sure you have n''t slipped up anywhere and given them a suspicion as to your real work? |
38131 | Thanks,said the girl,"but what next?" |
38131 | That being the case, Chief, why take any chances right now? 38131 That was an interesting theory of yours,"commented one of the men,"but was n''t it only a theory? |
38131 | That''s where the eight hundred and fifty dollars came from? |
38131 | The Senate Office Building? |
38131 | The Thurene case? 38131 The blue print?" |
38131 | The fifty thousand dollars? 38131 The girl? |
38131 | The girl? |
38131 | The manager''s name--But then she halted abruptly, picked up a plug, and said,"What number, please?" |
38131 | The price? |
38131 | The what? |
38131 | The which? |
38131 | The----? |
38131 | Then how are you to account for the discrepancies between the bills of lading and the final receipts? |
38131 | Then this,cut in Whitney, unable to keep the excitement out of his voice,"is where he stopped to speak to the Germans?" |
38131 | Then you know where it is? |
38131 | Then you mean that the bookkeeper is responsible for falsifying the accounts? |
38131 | Then you think that it may be a clue, after all? |
38131 | Then,cut in Callahan,"if the Germans wanted to make a ten- strike they''d lay for that boat?" |
38131 | There was n''t the slightest clue left after the Black Tom affair? |
38131 | There''s one that clears Norfolk at daylight on Monday morning with twelve thousand men aboard...."Norfolk? |
38131 | They? |
38131 | Thought I was easy, did n''t you? |
38131 | Thought what? |
38131 | Trap it? 38131 Trunks?" |
38131 | Tuesday? |
38131 | Um, yes,muttered Maxwell,"but has the young lady seen anything of this chap lately?" |
38131 | Verne did n''t write detective stories, did he? |
38131 | Wah Lee? 38131 Want me for anything?" |
38131 | Want to go up with me and investigate the secret chamber? |
38131 | Was he married? |
38131 | Was it of such a nature that it could have been easily copied? |
38131 | Was there a chimney or any other possible entrance to the room? |
38131 | Was this procedure followed with respect to all the other employees in the building? |
38131 | Was this the only copy in existence? |
38131 | Well, now that I''ve told you, what d''you think? |
38131 | Well, what happened? |
38131 | Well, what''s the idea of trailing him, then? |
38131 | Well,I inquired,"what was she?" |
38131 | Well,snapped Preston,"what did he see?" |
38131 | Were the papers right in reporting that you picked some fragments of a black bag not far from the scene of the explosion? |
38131 | Were you to send these messages only on Saturday night? |
38131 | Whar you come from? |
38131 | What about Tino, the servant? |
38131 | What about the men who''ve been working on the case up to this time? |
38131 | What are you talking about? |
38131 | What became of her? |
38131 | What boats are due in the next three days? |
38131 | What brings you here? 38131 What business is it of yours? |
38131 | What can I do for you? |
38131 | What did she buy? |
38131 | What did they look like? |
38131 | What did you say her name was? |
38131 | What do you expect to catch? |
38131 | What do you know about Cheney? |
38131 | What do you know about that? |
38131 | What do you make of that? |
38131 | What do you mean,''all''? 38131 What do you mean-- this case?" |
38131 | What do you mean? 38131 What do you mean?" |
38131 | What do you see? |
38131 | What does he do at other times? |
38131 | What does the tape say? |
38131 | What does this mean? |
38131 | What evidence have you that this invasion is planned? |
38131 | What happened to Vera Norton? |
38131 | What happened to them? 38131 What in Heaven''s name are you going to do there?" |
38131 | What is this large room next to it? |
38131 | What kind of bags were they? |
38131 | What letter? |
38131 | What made you take up counterfeiting? 38131 What th''----?" |
38131 | What time was the dinner? |
38131 | What was that? |
38131 | What was the date they were sold? |
38131 | What was the size of the master key, as you call it? |
38131 | What''s all this about? |
38131 | What''s coming off Tuesday? |
38131 | What''s missing? |
38131 | What''s on it? |
38131 | What''s that? |
38131 | What''s that? |
38131 | What''s the idea, Chief? |
38131 | What''s the idea, anyhow? |
38131 | What''s the idea? 38131 What''s the idea? |
38131 | What''s the idea? |
38131 | What''s the matter? |
38131 | What''s the matter? |
38131 | What''s the matter? |
38131 | What''s the matter? |
38131 | What''s the significance of that white mouse on the mantelpiece? |
38131 | What''s the trouble now? |
38131 | What''s the trouble? |
38131 | What''s this doing here? |
38131 | What''s this? |
38131 | What-- what do you want me to do? |
38131 | What? 38131 What?" |
38131 | What? |
38131 | What? |
38131 | What? |
38131 | What? |
38131 | What? |
38131 | When did Miss Vaughan leave? |
38131 | When did you discover the disappearance of the code secret? |
38131 | When was that? |
38131 | Where are the gold bars? |
38131 | Where did you find it? |
38131 | Where did you get that eight hundred and fifty dollars? |
38131 | Where is Buch now? |
38131 | Where is she now? |
38131 | Where was it? |
38131 | Where you going? |
38131 | Where''d she come from? |
38131 | Where''s Felix? |
38131 | Where''s Marks located now? |
38131 | Where''s that? |
38131 | Where''s the biggest ship sailing from? |
38131 | Where''s the paper? |
38131 | Where-- how-- what in the world made you think that? |
38131 | Which case was that? |
38131 | Which is the reason that you want me to look into it, eh? |
38131 | Which means that you do n''t care to handle the case? |
38131 | Which one was that? |
38131 | While you were also drawing money from me, eh? |
38131 | Who are the men who appear to be implicated? |
38131 | Who are you? 38131 Who do you mean?" |
38131 | Who has charge of our cab bearing license number four, three, three, five, six, eight?... 38131 Who said this was a gang?" |
38131 | Who told you about that? |
38131 | Who was here at the time? |
38131 | Who,he inquired of that individual,"has charge of the operation of that phonograph sign on the roof?" |
38131 | Who-- is-- Sprague? |
38131 | Whom do you suspect of manipulating the funds? |
38131 | Why all the mystery? |
38131 | Why all the questions? 38131 Why all the stage setting?" |
38131 | Why do you say blackmailer? 38131 Why is it,"he inquired, testily,"that some fools never learn anything?" |
38131 | Why not a theater party this evening? |
38131 | Why not let''s watch them from the roof here? 38131 Why that momentous decision?" |
38131 | Why? 38131 Wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State?" |
38131 | Will you produce it-- or shall I? |
38131 | With what result? |
38131 | Would n''t it be better, sir, if we hung around outside th''store an''let Katy give us the high sign when he come in? 38131 Would n''t like to have a piece of the Kaiser''s mustache or anything of that kind, would you, Chief?" |
38131 | Would you think about ethics if some one had murdered two of the men you work next to in the office? 38131 Yes, but what is it?" |
38131 | Yes, what is it? |
38131 | Yes? |
38131 | Yet, you say her handwriting was similar to that which appears on these letters? |
38131 | You are certain that she was there all evening-- that she did n''t slip out for half an hour or so? |
38131 | You are certain that the cipher was there last evening? |
38131 | You are familiar with the Carruthers Code? |
38131 | You mean my statement that you can tell by the shape of a man''s head and hands whether he has a predisposition to crime? |
38131 | You mean that you think he''s implicated? |
38131 | You mean you''d like to marry me? |
38131 | You mean--"That she was a crook? 38131 You remember those scratches I called your attention to-- the ones on the side of the grille bars? |
38131 | You want it intercepted? |
38131 | You want to draw their fire, eh? |
38131 | You''d hardly expect me to say''Yes,''would you? 38131 You''re not going to write the whole thing on the board?" |
38131 | ***** Remember Dr. Heinrich Albert? |
38131 | *****"All?" |
38131 | *****"And so they were married and lived happily ever after?" |
38131 | *****"And was that all Marks ever heard from her?" |
38131 | *****"But the plans?" |
38131 | *****"Do you know what the whole message was?" |
38131 | About five o''clock this afternoon? |
38131 | Am I right?" |
38131 | And did Carr succeed in landing the men higher up?" |
38131 | And who are you?" |
38131 | And-- Do you know what books are kept on Shelf Forty- five?" |
38131 | And-- er-- what was the number of the room she had coming over?... |
38131 | Any clue in the postmarks?" |
38131 | Any more stuff turn up?" |
38131 | Any reason to suspect anyone?" |
38131 | Anything criminal in that?" |
38131 | Are you going to stop with friends?" |
38131 | Are you on?" |
38131 | Besides, did n''t the two trunks of goods arrive?" |
38131 | Besides, what about the girl?" |
38131 | Besides, what we''ve got to find out first is how Montgomery met his death?" |
38131 | But Edna and Grace were n''t on your list, were they?" |
38131 | But I''d guess somewhere about five or ten minutes?" |
38131 | But how could that be accomplished when he did not even know where he was or anything about the house? |
38131 | But how in the name of Heaven had they gotten their information? |
38131 | But if it is in the mysterious black bag.... Is the doctor in town now?" |
38131 | But she was too sleepy to give much thought to it, and, besides, what if he had?... |
38131 | But what else would you expect from the man who solved that submarine tangle in Norfolk?" |
38131 | But what had Holden been doing at the clairvoyant''s? |
38131 | But what on earth would two men want to take a taxi from New York all the way to Trenton for? |
38131 | But what were they to do about it? |
38131 | But what''s the idea? |
38131 | But where? |
38131 | But which? |
38131 | But,"and his face broke into a smile,"since they did find me, what''s the trouble?" |
38131 | By the way, do you know of any place in town known as Conner''s?" |
38131 | By the way, have you noticed those scratches on the bars of the grille, about four feet from the floor?" |
38131 | By the way, what do you know about the dead man?" |
38131 | By the way, when do you plan to make your next inspection?" |
38131 | Ca n''t I spend my own money in my own way without being trailed and hounded all over the city?" |
38131 | Can you get it?" |
38131 | Can you make it?" |
38131 | Can you tell us anything about him?" |
38131 | Come to think of it, Verne was n''t an American, was he? |
38131 | Could I do less than to help you?" |
38131 | Could he capture him without being injured? |
38131 | Could it be that Felix was one of the men whom he had surprised the night before, the one he had fired at and hit? |
38131 | D''you get me?" |
38131 | Did n''t keep you waiting a minute?" |
38131 | Did she have the same stateroom? |
38131 | Did you drop her there?" |
38131 | Did you ever know Carroll? |
38131 | Did you ever notice the changing style in villains, for example? |
38131 | Director?" |
38131 | Do n''t governmental investigations usually take a long time?" |
38131 | Do you know anyone who''s socially prominent in Madison?" |
38131 | Do you know of any demand for money which has been made?" |
38131 | Do you mean to say that its bite is sufficiently poisonous to kill a man?" |
38131 | Do you suspect the wife of the Third Assistant Secretary of State of robbing a bank?" |
38131 | Do you think it''s safe?" |
38131 | During the weeks that followed, people repeatedly asked the Commissioner:"What''s become of Jimmy Reynolds? |
38131 | Evans?" |
38131 | Ever hear of Rockwell?" |
38131 | Florence, Rose, and Amelia? |
38131 | For example, there was Virginia Lang--""Was she the girl at the switchboard that you mentioned in connection with the von Ewald case?" |
38131 | Going through to New York, of course?" |
38131 | Got a tip that the Huns are going to try to grab her?" |
38131 | Got any ideas on the matter?" |
38131 | Had Dick gotten her signal? |
38131 | Had he fallen into the power of the ring or was it possible that he was one of the blackmailers himself? |
38131 | Had he laid a plan whereby he could repeat this operation as often as necessary? |
38131 | Had some German, more daring than the rest, actually come ashore and penetrated into the very lines of the Service? |
38131 | Hal Preston handled it, did n''t he-- the same man responsible for running down''The Trail of the White Mice''?" |
38131 | Have n''t government detectives ever been instrumental in solving a murder mystery?" |
38131 | Have you any documents of importance-- international importance-- in your office at the present moment?" |
38131 | Have you got all the letters?" |
38131 | Have you tried tracing her from the other side?" |
38131 | He paused a moment, his breath rattling in his throat, and then continued:"It took me five years to find him-- but you say he''s dead? |
38131 | He would want to get the latest information, the most recent books, the--""What are you driving at?" |
38131 | He''s still chasing around with the blond-- but what''s become of Miss Red- head?" |
38131 | How are we going to find the corner where the machine turned?" |
38131 | How could one man carry away all that gold without being seen? |
38131 | How did the thief get the mail containing the money out of the building? |
38131 | How does that suit you?" |
38131 | How was the safe opened?" |
38131 | How''bout it?" |
38131 | How''d you happen to hit on that?" |
38131 | How?" |
38131 | However, if it had n''t been for Todd--""Todd?" |
38131 | I happened to be at a dinner with her last evening and--""You what?" |
38131 | In answer to her query,"Who''s there?" |
38131 | In what connection?" |
38131 | Incidentally, has all the rest of the gold been weighed?" |
38131 | Is he in?... |
38131 | Is he nuts about it?" |
38131 | Is n''t a spy always a spy?" |
38131 | Is n''t there any chance for a mistake?" |
38131 | Is there any milk in the house?" |
38131 | Is there any real foundation of fact?" |
38131 | It looked to be a certainty on the face of it, but, once you had discovered that, what good did it do you? |
38131 | It''ll take some time to get at the truth of the matter and, meanwhile, might I ask you to keep this information to yourself?" |
38131 | Let me know if anything comes up, will you?" |
38131 | Marks?" |
38131 | Meanwhile we''ll continue to be good friends and trail around together, eh?" |
38131 | Mighty funny kinder way to earn a livin'', Ah calls it-- flashing on an''off all night long....""But where''s he work from?" |
38131 | Mr. MacPherson? |
38131 | Murphy? |
38131 | Nab''em right away?" |
38131 | Now what''s your idea of handling the case?" |
38131 | Oh, well--""Any idea of where the shipments came from?" |
38131 | Or did the answer lie in a concealed wireless, operating upon information supplied through underground channels? |
38131 | Out of the darkness came the guttural inquiry:"What do you want?" |
38131 | Quinn must have read the look of interest in my face, for he continued, almost without a pause:"Did you ever hear the inside of that case? |
38131 | Ready? |
38131 | Ready?... |
38131 | Remember him? |
38131 | Ring?" |
38131 | Rotten weather, is n''t it? |
38131 | Saint Louis? |
38131 | See that black mark, like an inverted V, upon the head? |
38131 | See that twenty- five- cent piece up there on the wall? |
38131 | See? |
38131 | Serious as that, is it?" |
38131 | She is? |
38131 | She was Allison''s wife?" |
38131 | Should he attempt to find the house from which the scream had come and force the door? |
38131 | Should he take a chance on losing his prey merely to try to save a woman''s life? |
38131 | Six during the past few weeks?" |
38131 | So they were saving him for the sacrifice, eh? |
38131 | Some one broke in there and--""Yes-- but what about Holden?" |
38131 | Suppose we plan a certain event for the sixth of January?" |
38131 | Suppose we say the first of the year? |
38131 | That they did n''t suspect what you came to the dock for, and declared you in on the split? |
38131 | The case has n''t gotten into the papers, so why not release Thurene?" |
38131 | The first one read: Does your husband know the details of that trip to Fond du Lac? |
38131 | The girl''s first answer was a laugh, and then,"What do you mean,''put myself in his power''?" |
38131 | The question is, Where did she get the tip?" |
38131 | The question now is, What''s this particular storm and when is it goin''to break?" |
38131 | The question now is: Who are''they''and how did they operate?" |
38131 | The question was: Where was the money coming from and what was the immediate object of the game? |
38131 | The theft occurred shortly after midnight and--""If you know so much about it, why do n''t you arrest her?" |
38131 | Then one of these t''ree guys hailed me....""Three?" |
38131 | Then, as an after- thought,"Do you happen to know of any hotel or place here in town known as''Conner''s''?" |
38131 | Then, grinning, he continued,"Understand you''ve been having a bit of trouble out in Columbus?" |
38131 | Then, pointing to the name"Countess Sylvia Stefani"on the hotel sheet and to the same name on the wrapper, he asked,"Note everything?" |
38131 | Then, what was more natural than that her maid should accompany her on board when she was leaving? |
38131 | Then,"Are you sure you can put it over?" |
38131 | Then,"What do doctors do with their mistakes?" |
38131 | Then:"Notice anything funny about these?" |
38131 | Then:"What do you know about the anonymous letters which have been sent to a number of persons in this city?" |
38131 | There''s no chance to plant a dictaphone, and how else are you going to get the information?" |
38131 | They got out and were away for nearly two hours? |
38131 | They had turned up in the United States, so why could n''t they have been slipped through the customs of other countries just as easily? |
38131 | They were going to keep him here until their arrangements were complete and then make away with him, were they? |
38131 | Think the stuff is being brought over by airplane and landed inland? |
38131 | This is the first piece of personal property that I''ve been able to locate and you say there is nothing in this?" |
38131 | Thought you could get away with it indefinitely, eh?" |
38131 | Three of the former he slipped into his pocket and then, turning, inquired:"Was Mr. Rockwell fond of cold weather?" |
38131 | Tryin''to make it do tricks?" |
38131 | Want any help from this end?" |
38131 | Want any report to headquarters?" |
38131 | Want me to say''Hello''to anybody?" |
38131 | Want to come along, Rita?" |
38131 | Want to see something of my color process, eh? |
38131 | Was it the silent- moving head waiter? |
38131 | Was she to blame for that?" |
38131 | Was the cash O. K. at the Central Trust?" |
38131 | Was there a secret submarine base on the coast? |
38131 | Was there any gang? |
38131 | Washington? |
38131 | Were they there when you went over the books this morning?" |
38131 | What about the bum we carried in here last night-- the one that tried to help Anita in her getaway?" |
38131 | What business are you in?" |
38131 | What business have you in here?" |
38131 | What could their purpose be? |
38131 | What d''ye call those birds that fly around at sea just before a gale breaks-- stormy petrels? |
38131 | What do you know about her?" |
38131 | What do you want me to do? |
38131 | What do you want to do with th''lad in th''bed?" |
38131 | What does Dame Rumor say in this case?" |
38131 | What else was there for him to do? |
38131 | What happened then?" |
38131 | What happened to the Mexican? |
38131 | What has that got to do with it?" |
38131 | What is it?" |
38131 | What is the latest news from the ship?" |
38131 | What lines have Boyd and the other men here been following?" |
38131 | What name did this man give?" |
38131 | What next? |
38131 | What was in the box?" |
38131 | What was the connection between him and the quarter- million you mentioned?" |
38131 | What was the message Callahan sent? |
38131 | What was the motive?" |
38131 | What you smilin''at?" |
38131 | What''d you find in the store?" |
38131 | What''re you going to do when experts disagree?" |
38131 | What''s that Mahoney has in his hand?" |
38131 | What''s the address?" |
38131 | What''s the connection?" |
38131 | What''s the idea, anyhow? |
38131 | What''s the idea, anyhow? |
38131 | What''s the matter?" |
38131 | What''s the matter?" |
38131 | What''s the number of her stateroom? |
38131 | What''s the trouble?" |
38131 | What''ve you got in the bag there?" |
38131 | What?" |
38131 | When the conference concluded, sometime after midnight, the chief turned to Maxwell and inquired:"Well, what''s your idea about it?" |
38131 | Where are the envelopes in which these letters were mailed?" |
38131 | Where can I reach you by phone?" |
38131 | Where can I reach you?" |
38131 | Where did you get the money to pay for that ring you bought at Tiffany''s to- day?" |
38131 | Where did you meet''em and where did you drive''em?" |
38131 | Where is Cheney now?" |
38131 | Where is the gold?" |
38131 | Where was Conner''s? |
38131 | Where was it that they intended to place the bomb? |
38131 | Where''d you get it?" |
38131 | Where''d you get the message?" |
38131 | Where''ll I meet you to- night?" |
38131 | Where''s the box you were talking about?" |
38131 | Who does this Weimar live with?" |
38131 | Who is he?" |
38131 | Who sent the letter and the money from Washington?" |
38131 | Who was inquiring about him, and why? |
38131 | Who was the man they were plotting against? |
38131 | Who were"they"and where were they? |
38131 | Who would be likely to know?" |
38131 | Who''s been looting the local treasury?" |
38131 | Why am I Mrs. Mabel Kennedy, and what''s she supposed to do?" |
38131 | Why did n''t they come on the train?" |
38131 | Why do n''t you send Giles or one of the bachelors on this?" |
38131 | Why should n''t we take a leaf out of their book?" |
38131 | Why should they?" |
38131 | Why should you take such an interest in me?" |
38131 | Why the odd shape? |
38131 | Why would they arrange it so as to explode upon pressure, rather than concussion or by a time fuse? |
38131 | Why''d you ask? |
38131 | Why? |
38131 | Why? |
38131 | Why? |
38131 | Will you look after that?" |
38131 | Will you?" |
38131 | Wonder what that bookkeeper mailed?" |
38131 | Would he be able to trail his man? |
38131 | XXI A MILLION- DOLLAR QUARTER"What''s in the phial?" |
38131 | You are going, I suppose?" |
38131 | You did n''t find anything, of course?" |
38131 | You have the bunch of master keys, of course?" |
38131 | You know the system that maintains in the registry room? |
38131 | You remember me, do n''t you? |
38131 | You remember that case, do n''t you? |
38131 | You remember the Black Tom explosion in August, nineteen sixteen? |
38131 | You remember the Philadelphia mint robbery-- the one that Drummond solved in less than six hours? |
38131 | You remember the incident of the''leak''in the peace note, when certain Wall Street interests cleaned up millions of dollars?" |
38131 | You''re not lying?" |
38131 | You''ve searched the room thoroughly, of course?" |
38131 | snapped Todd,"but where have you been for the last hour? |
38131 | that you, Thurber?... |
38131 | who?" |
41001 | A traitor? 41001 About what?" |
41001 | Abroad? |
41001 | Ah, how can I tell, Signor Holford? 41001 Am I your father?" |
41001 | And Miss Ethelwynn? |
41001 | And as for my dual existence, as you term it, have I ever endeavoured to conceal it from you? |
41001 | And do you recognise this gentleman as the Professor? |
41001 | And has he always showed friendship towards you, Miss Greer? |
41001 | And he disappeared-- I suppose? |
41001 | And he has refused even you, eh? |
41001 | And if I did? 41001 And if I gave it,"I asked, not without some hesitation,"would these precious friends of yours give me back my wife?" |
41001 | And if you found your signora alive and well, you would undertake to make no further inquiry? |
41001 | And is that all? |
41001 | And it does not concern Mabel? |
41001 | And love for your wife makes you forget your word of honour given to me, eh? |
41001 | And men do not come to life again when once dead, do they? |
41001 | And my wife, Antonio-- where is she? |
41001 | And only for that reason? |
41001 | And only once? |
41001 | And pray what good would result? |
41001 | And that means-- what? |
41001 | And the lady-- what was she like? 41001 And then? |
41001 | And then? |
41001 | And was Greer there also? |
41001 | And what are they? |
41001 | And what did you find? |
41001 | And what happened then? |
41001 | And what was their destination? |
41001 | And what, pray, need I care for that girl''s future, now that mine has been wrecked by the devilish machinations of you and your gang? |
41001 | And when were you aware of the truth? |
41001 | And when you called him did you then see him in his berth? |
41001 | And who else was with him? |
41001 | And who was he? |
41001 | And will you not follow? |
41001 | And you afterwards went down to Broadstairs? |
41001 | And you are suspected as the assassin? |
41001 | And you are unaware of who did this? |
41001 | And you believe that Kirk has gone with the Professor to visit Sir Mark Edwards? |
41001 | And you expect me to believe that, eh? |
41001 | And you know more than you will tell me? |
41001 | And you made the signal to Kirk? |
41001 | And you say that the signora knew nothing of the affair at Sussex Place? |
41001 | And you think they would be accepted as evidence that Professor Greer was done to death? |
41001 | And you told nobody? |
41001 | And, her disillusionment over, she repaid you for your exertions on her behalf by becoming engaged to you, eh? |
41001 | And, later on, you discovered the furnace alight, eh? |
41001 | And, pray, why should I not possess friends? |
41001 | And, tell me, what connection had Doctor Flynn with the affair? |
41001 | Apparently you do n''t believe this statement of Miss Ethelwynn''s? |
41001 | Are you not being misled, as these men are trying to mislead me? |
41001 | Are you quite certain of that, Antonio? |
41001 | As a matter of fact, what evidence is there that the Professor is dead? |
41001 | At Kirk''s orders? |
41001 | Because you have now realised that Scotland Yard refuse their assistance, eh? |
41001 | But are you absolutely certain that a journey to Strassburg to- morrow would be useless? |
41001 | But at least you will do something with the bodies of the victims? 41001 But did not you, with your own eyes, see your father dead in his laboratory?" |
41001 | But for what reason do you ask this? 41001 But have I not already impressed upon you, my dear friend, the absolute necessity of secrecy in this affair?" |
41001 | But have you discovered where he is living? |
41001 | But how could he have escaped? |
41001 | But how do you account for Ethelwynn being still alive? |
41001 | But how do you account for that remarkable occurrence behind those locked doors? |
41001 | But if the Professor is in Scotland, as you say, why have you called this evening? |
41001 | But may she not have been prevented from sending any message home? |
41001 | But might she not have been induced to return by morbid curiosity? |
41001 | But my wife? |
41001 | But our acquaintance is not very intimate, is it? 41001 But surely Ethelwynn would not?" |
41001 | But surely I ought to know the truth? 41001 But what connection can my wife possibly have with any occurrence at the house of Professor Greer?" |
41001 | But where is Antonio and all the other servants? |
41001 | But where is Mabel? |
41001 | But who are my enemies? |
41001 | But who had attacked you in the diningroom? |
41001 | But why has she gone? |
41001 | But why let us discuss it? 41001 But why not tell the police?" |
41001 | But why? |
41001 | But you also had a further motive? |
41001 | But you have, I understand, been acting in concert with the man who calls himself Greer? |
41001 | But, as you are aware of only half the tangled skein of mysterious facts, it is hardly likely that you''ll succeed, do you think? 41001 But,"I asked very pointedly,"pray tell me, Mr. Kirk, what was your object in calling upon me and inducing me to go to Sussex Place?" |
41001 | By the latter, I take it, you mean ourselves? |
41001 | By the way,he echoed suddenly,"do you know any other language besides English?" |
41001 | By what train? |
41001 | Ca n''t you see that this suspense is turning my brain? |
41001 | Can I see him? |
41001 | Can I see your mother? |
41001 | Can not you believe us? |
41001 | Can not you telegraph and ask? |
41001 | Concerning what? |
41001 | Could I telegraph to him? |
41001 | Did I not tell you on the first evening you sat here with me that I was a dealer in secrets? |
41001 | Did he mention that Edwards and Sutton were old friends of his? |
41001 | Did he receive many letters? |
41001 | Did he say when his master would be back? |
41001 | Did he talk to you? |
41001 | Did it alter his appearance much? |
41001 | Did n''t they give any reason why they wanted to see the cover? |
41001 | Did she say whether she is returning to London? |
41001 | Did you follow him? |
41001 | Did you read the telegram she received? |
41001 | Did you see him? 41001 Did you take the Professor up to Edinburgh?" |
41001 | Do you allege, then, that you were an actual witness of the cremation? |
41001 | Do you happen to know a Mr. Kershaw Kirk? |
41001 | Do you happen to know his whereabouts? |
41001 | Do you happen to know who Kershaw Kirk really is? |
41001 | Do you know Strassburg? 41001 Do you know him? |
41001 | Do you know the porter who took his bag? |
41001 | Do you know where he arrived from? |
41001 | Do you think he''s gone to Glasgow? |
41001 | Do you think that the Professor was struck down at the spot where he now is? |
41001 | Does he give none? |
41001 | Does he have many callers? |
41001 | From me? |
41001 | Greer? |
41001 | Had you ever met the Professor before? |
41001 | Has it been moved? |
41001 | Has it not struck you that the telegram sent from Edinburgh may have been despatched by the assassin? |
41001 | Has not Miss Ethelwynn told you anything? |
41001 | Have I not already told you? 41001 Have n''t the police been informed?" |
41001 | Have the windows been examined? |
41001 | Have you been to Italy? |
41001 | Have you ever been to the Professor''s house in London? |
41001 | Have you not betrayed me? 41001 He had n''t been very long with you, had he?" |
41001 | He is your friend-- eh? |
41001 | He killed your master-- eh? |
41001 | He wished you to go to Scotland out of the way, eh? |
41001 | He would not allow you to go to him, eh? |
41001 | He wrote to you? |
41001 | He''s seldom here, then? |
41001 | How can I find them? 41001 How can I have? |
41001 | How can I tell, my dear sir? 41001 How can I, after all that has passed?" |
41001 | How did you account for the bloodstain? 41001 How did you know that the Professor is in Scotland?" |
41001 | How do you know that she did? |
41001 | How do you know that, pray? |
41001 | How long has Doctor Flynn lived there? |
41001 | How will you obtain a medical certificate and get it buried by an undertaker? |
41001 | How? 41001 Hulloa? |
41001 | I presume, sir,he said,"that you are an agent of police?" |
41001 | I suppose he seldom went out? |
41001 | I suppose it is a most important one? |
41001 | I suppose you wish to mislead me into the idea that she is back again in London, hiding from me, eh? |
41001 | I wonder how you came to know that? |
41001 | I wonder if thieves are inside? 41001 I wonder what that was?" |
41001 | I wonder what the Professor has been doing to- day? |
41001 | I wonder who''s ringing up? |
41001 | I-- well, how can I tell? 41001 If anyone obtained access to the laboratory, then, they could steal the secret?" |
41001 | If you are really my friend, if you really wish me to assist you, why not instruct me how to act? 41001 In another name-- eh?" |
41001 | In what manner? |
41001 | In what manner? |
41001 | In what way? |
41001 | Is Miss Ethelwynn at home? |
41001 | Is he still there? |
41001 | Is he? |
41001 | Is that you, sir? 41001 Is there any actual, evidence of it? |
41001 | Is there no other door-- no back door? |
41001 | Is there no other means of access except through the boudoir? |
41001 | Is this a fact? |
41001 | Is your master at home? |
41001 | Kirk? |
41001 | Kirk? |
41001 | May I come with you, Harry? |
41001 | May it not be that you are somewhat prejudiced against him? |
41001 | Miss Ethelwynn saw her father lying dead, as I did; how, therefore, can she identify you as her deceased parent? 41001 My dear Holford, why-- what''s the matter?" |
41001 | Not going? 41001 Not if I appeal to you on behalf of Ethelwynn, on behalf of a girl whose very life is dependent upon your silence?" |
41001 | Nothing else? 41001 Of course not,"I said,"but is your trust really well founded, do you think? |
41001 | Of course, I''m not quite sure,the young man replied;"but is it not curious that Miss Greer and the servants are all out? |
41001 | Of what? |
41001 | Oh, there is someone there, eh? |
41001 | Or by a window leading out on to some leads somewhere? |
41001 | Shall I call the park- keeper at Clarence Gate? 41001 Shall I go for a doctor?" |
41001 | Shall I wait for you? |
41001 | She did n''t tell you her father''s whereabouts? |
41001 | She may not be dead? |
41001 | She told you that? |
41001 | So you refuse your aid in assisting me to find my wife? |
41001 | Somebody who you believe was disturbed by your ring at the door, eh? |
41001 | Surely it is not my place to carry tales to you, is it? |
41001 | Surely you do n''t believe that the girl has participated in any shamefully obtained profits? |
41001 | Tell me,I asked the girl,"do they ever have a visitor named Kirk?" |
41001 | Tell me-- once and for all-- are you aware of my wife''s whereabouts? |
41001 | Tell me; she''s-- what? |
41001 | That Italian fellow discharged them, did n''t he? |
41001 | That was in Vienna? |
41001 | That''s scarcely conclusive, is it? 41001 The Professor sent no reply to the message?" |
41001 | The Professor was a friend of your aunt''s, I suppose? |
41001 | The false telegram was dispatched from Turin, eh? |
41001 | The telegram summoning her to Italy came after her return? |
41001 | Then even I may not know the true facts? |
41001 | Then even you are mystified by these strange happenings? |
41001 | Then he brought you to Sussex Place on purpose to show you the dead body of my master? |
41001 | Then he often goes abroad? |
41001 | Then he-- he''s at home again? |
41001 | Then how do you account for the movements I have heard inside? |
41001 | Then she was in fear of discovery, eh? |
41001 | Then surely it is a rather happy circumstance that we have met to- day? |
41001 | Then tell it to me-- relieve this burden of a crime which is oppressing me? |
41001 | Then the murdered person was not your friend? |
41001 | Then the poor Professor is dead? |
41001 | Then they are not friends of long standing? |
41001 | Then they were secret experiments he was making? |
41001 | Then what proof do you require? |
41001 | Then who has? |
41001 | Then why have n''t you told it to me? |
41001 | Then why were you in the house at the time the traces of the crime were being effaced in the furnace? |
41001 | Then you are a detective, after all? 41001 Then you are a friend of Kirk''s-- not of my father?" |
41001 | Then you are not a police officer? |
41001 | Then you are satisfied? |
41001 | Then you refuse to accept even the park- keeper''s testimony? |
41001 | Then, of course, you''ll go? 41001 Then, to put it plainly, I''ve nothing to hope for from you?" |
41001 | This he has told you? |
41001 | To the station-- eh? |
41001 | Under exactly what circumstances has Mrs. Holford disappeared? |
41001 | Was he about fifty, and rather thin? |
41001 | Was your business of a pressing nature? |
41001 | Well, Holford,he exclaimed, stretching his slippered feet lazily towards the fire,"so you have, after all, proved a traitor, eh?" |
41001 | Well, Mr. Holford,he said,"why do n''t you speak candidly and openly? |
41001 | Well, am I not endeavouring to elucidate the mystery? |
41001 | Well, what then? |
41001 | Well,I asked, after he was out of hearing,"what do you intend doing now?" |
41001 | Well,I asked, going straight to the point,"what have you discovered?" |
41001 | Well,he said at last,"what does it matter if the signorina is still alive, as you say? |
41001 | Well-- and am I to be blamed for Langton''s pretended ignorance? |
41001 | Well-- how do you know she is not here-- in London? |
41001 | Well? 41001 Well?" |
41001 | Well? |
41001 | Well? |
41001 | Well? |
41001 | What about her maid Morgan? |
41001 | What actual evidence have you upon that point, beyond my word-- repeated from the story told to me by Antonio? |
41001 | What am I to do? |
41001 | What can Antonio possibly know? 41001 What day was that?" |
41001 | What did he say of me? |
41001 | What do you say to that? |
41001 | What do you suggest as my next move? 41001 What does Langton know?" |
41001 | What does he want with a tyre when he has n''t got a car? |
41001 | What does this mean? |
41001 | What is he doing in Rome? |
41001 | What is that? |
41001 | What is your theory? |
41001 | What kind of man was madame''s husband? |
41001 | What matter the affairs of others, so long as the wife I love is innocent and at my side? 41001 What misfortune?" |
41001 | What special feature can there be, pray? 41001 What was her attitude towards the Professor?" |
41001 | What''s the matter? 41001 What''s this story of yours about Miss Greer presenting an appearance of death?" |
41001 | What? |
41001 | When did he last call? |
41001 | When did he take his luggage? |
41001 | When did you first know him? |
41001 | When did you last see her? |
41001 | When did you see him again? |
41001 | When do you expect Mr. Merli back? |
41001 | When? |
41001 | Where did he alight? |
41001 | Where is Flynn? |
41001 | Where is Mabel? |
41001 | Where is she? |
41001 | Where is the unfortunate girl? |
41001 | Where''s Antonio? |
41001 | Where''s Miss Gwen? 41001 Where''s your coat? |
41001 | Where''s your coat? |
41001 | Who are you, please? |
41001 | Who is he? |
41001 | Who is he? |
41001 | Who is the victim? |
41001 | Who is this Professor of whom you have spoken? |
41001 | Who killed Professor Greer? |
41001 | Who was the man who went to Edinburgh on the night of the tragedy? |
41001 | Who''s responsible for this, I wonder? |
41001 | Who, may I ask, are you? |
41001 | Why are you in such mortal fear of Langton? |
41001 | Why are you so carefully hiding other facts? |
41001 | Why did n''t she call Antonio? |
41001 | Why did n''t you tell me this before, Gwen? |
41001 | Why did she wish to return here in secret-- to the house wherein she knew her father was lying dead? 41001 Why did you entice me into this complicated tangle of crime and mystery?" |
41001 | Why do n''t you call a doctor? |
41001 | Why do n''t you speak quite plainly? |
41001 | Why do you wish to extract this promise from me? |
41001 | Why not be quite frank with me, Antonio? |
41001 | Why not tell me more? |
41001 | Why not? |
41001 | Why not? |
41001 | Why should I retaliate, if you are not responsible for my wife''s absence? |
41001 | Why to Strassburg? |
41001 | Why, did not you and I see him dead? 41001 Why, pray, will you be suspected of being a murderer?" |
41001 | Why, what has happened? |
41001 | Why,he exclaimed, turning slightly pale, and staring at me,"how did you know that?" |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Will you go round to the front and see if there are lights in any of the rooms, while I remain here? 41001 Will you not try to discover where Mabel is?" |
41001 | Will you step into my office? |
41001 | Would it not be natural for your wife, on failing to find you in Florence, either to wire to her sister at home or to return home at once? 41001 Would you kindly tell him that Mr. Kirk desires to see him?" |
41001 | Yes, why? |
41001 | Yes,he replied;"and you?" |
41001 | You actually mean that, signore? |
41001 | You appear not to have approved of the lady''s connection with the sale of the patent? |
41001 | You are a friend of the family, I suppose? |
41001 | You are, I take it, the only agent in this country? |
41001 | You believe him guilty, then? |
41001 | You did n''t notice whence it had been despatched? |
41001 | You did n''t see him again? |
41001 | You do n''t happen to know to which hotel they''ve gone in Rome? |
41001 | You do n''t know who rang you up? |
41001 | You do not suspect any of the servants? |
41001 | You have a Mrs. Holford staying here? |
41001 | You have actual knowledge that Mr. Langton has quarrelled with Kirk? |
41001 | You have been with your master in Hungary or in Roumania, I hear? |
41001 | You have had some important business dealings with him, Sir Mark, I see from yesterday''s paper? |
41001 | You have no hesitation in identifying him, eh? |
41001 | You hear that, Joseph? |
41001 | You know him? |
41001 | You know his brother, of course? |
41001 | You know the Professor, eh, Harry? |
41001 | You mean Mr. Antonio? 41001 You mean she was not very happy with her husband?" |
41001 | You mean that I should have profited pecuniarily by concealing the fact that Professor Greer is dead and that an impostor has assumed his identity? 41001 You mean you and your accomplices?" |
41001 | You never heard her speak of the Professor before? |
41001 | You say that the Professor was in Strassburg? |
41001 | You suggest that she has purposely left me? |
41001 | You suspect Kirk? |
41001 | You suspect him of having a hand in her disappearance? 41001 You think she''s been tricked?" |
41001 | You told Langton nothing, I trust? |
41001 | You would cast a slur upon her good name? |
41001 | You would really refrain from seeking further, providing you rediscover your wife? |
41001 | You''ll be able to swear to him in a court of law? |
41001 | You''ll go, I suppose? |
41001 | You''re quite certain of that? |
41001 | You''ve known Professor Greer a long time? |
41001 | You''ve known him a long time, I presume? |
41001 | You''ve lost your wife, eh? |
41001 | You''ve sold some, of course? |
41001 | You''ve told no one else of this? |
41001 | You-- you followed him? |
41001 | Your father did not, I believe, tell you of his projected visit to Germany before leaving? |
41001 | Your only confidant is Antonio? |
41001 | Your profession is not that of a detective? |
41001 | And again, what connection could the Eckhardt tyre have with the strange affair? |
41001 | And if so, with what motive? |
41001 | And if we did?" |
41001 | And why had she done so in the dining- room, of all places? |
41001 | And why was every effort of mine to discover her met only by threats of impending disaster? |
41001 | And why, most of all, had she not summoned Antonio? |
41001 | Antonio, suave and cringing, suddenly put his head in at the door, asking:"Did you ring, signore?" |
41001 | Are you coming down here?" |
41001 | Are you quite certain that he is your friend, or only your pretended ally?" |
41001 | At last she asked:"Have you packed your things, Harry?" |
41001 | Besides, how could the two doors be locked behind the assassin? |
41001 | But for what reason was my well- beloved Mabel, the loving wife whom I adored, held in the unscrupulous hands of those who killed Professor Greer? |
41001 | But for what?" |
41001 | But have n''t you any idea where he intended going?" |
41001 | But have n''t you been in Florence?" |
41001 | But that could not be, for had she not seen him dead with her own eyes? |
41001 | But was not the truth a strange one? |
41001 | But what account could I myself give of the reason of my call? |
41001 | But why had she returned to the house in a manner so secret? |
41001 | But why has the laboratory been broken open; and, again, why has the furnace been lit? |
41001 | But,"he added, after a slight pause,"would you object to telling me how you first became acquainted with Signor Kirk?" |
41001 | But,"he asked,"where did you meet the Signor Langton?" |
41001 | But-- but, hark?" |
41001 | But--"He hesitated, and then inquired,"Will you pardon me if I ask who you may be?" |
41001 | Ca n''t you see, my friend, that you can assist in furthering the ends of justice-- in fastening the guilt upon the assassin?" |
41001 | Can not you communicate with the Italian police concerning it?" |
41001 | Could I tell her that the Professor, her father, had been cruelly done to death, and his body cremated in his own experimental furnace? |
41001 | Could this be one of Kirk''s ingenious subterfuges in order to gain time? |
41001 | Could this girl and my wife have been secretly acquainted? |
41001 | Did I not tell you to remain silent and inactive? |
41001 | Did not his daughter stand before his lifeless body?" |
41001 | Did not those words of his conclusively prove complicity in the affair? |
41001 | Did she awake and recognise him, or had she herself been an accomplice in securing her father''s sudden and tragic end? |
41001 | Did you speak with him?" |
41001 | Do you for one moment suppose that were I guilty I would have taken you to Sussex Place and explained the whole affair in detail? |
41001 | Do you happen to know Sussex Place, Regent''s Park?" |
41001 | Do you know him?" |
41001 | For what reason could he desire Mabel''s presence in Florence? |
41001 | For what reason, therefore, was she being misled, and why, oh, why, did she allow this perfect stranger to pose as myself? |
41001 | For what reason?" |
41001 | Forgive me for suspecting you, wo n''t you?" |
41001 | German, for instance?" |
41001 | Had I acted foolishly in doing so? |
41001 | Had I not given my word of honour to be silent? |
41001 | Had I not given my word of honour to that weird will- o''-the- wisp, Kershaw Kirk, that I would preserve silence? |
41001 | Had I not sent that telegram from Broadstairs and signed it Kirk, and had not its receipt caused the false Professor quickly to change his quarters? |
41001 | Had I not with my own eyes seen the poor girl lying cold and dead in the room downstairs? |
41001 | Had any of the servants met with an accident?" |
41001 | Had he merely come down there to have further words with me, or did he require a cover for some specific purpose? |
41001 | Had he not told me plainly that by mere mention of his name to that young man, all hope of solving the enigma would be at an end? |
41001 | Had not Ethelwynn already told me of Langton''s suspicion of this man, who was to me and mine such a mystery? |
41001 | Had not Kirk previously admitted to me that his earnest endeavour was to secure my silence? |
41001 | Had not Kirk told me that she had thrown herself upon her knees before her father''s body, vowing a fierce, bitter vengeance upon his assassin? |
41001 | Had that bottle of acid been purposely smashed in order to dispel any unpleasant odour arising from the furnace? |
41001 | Had that crafty servant at Sussex Place dispatched the false message, I wondered? |
41001 | Had the man who had such a contempt for the police-- whom he denounced as red- taped blunderers-- succeeded in removing all trace of the crime? |
41001 | Have I not already told you that I am entirely ignorant of her whereabouts?" |
41001 | Have I not asked you all along for a clear statement of facts? |
41001 | Have I not urged you to tell me where I can find my wife?" |
41001 | Have you a half- brother, or some relation strongly resembling you?" |
41001 | Have you any idea where he has gone?" |
41001 | Have you ever been seized with misgivings of a person whom you have no just cause to doubt? |
41001 | Holford?" |
41001 | How can I form any conclusions or help you if you deliberately hold back from me some of the circumstances?" |
41001 | How many thousands had Edwards and Sutton paid to him for that great secret that was not his own? |
41001 | How much did Langton know, and what was the extent of the knowledge of that friend of his, the specialist in diseases of the throat and nose? |
41001 | How was it that Mabel, my dear, beloved wife, had allied herself with that pair of adventurers? |
41001 | How would he act? |
41001 | How would you have acted? |
41001 | How?" |
41001 | I cried,"then you are acting in conjunction with Kirk? |
41001 | I dined at home, and I suppose my manner was so preoccupied that Mabel, my wife, asked:"What''s the matter, Harry? |
41001 | I had made a promise to Kershaw Kirk, yet now that he had so grossly deceived me, why should I keep it? |
41001 | I said, turning to the Professor-- for how could I now doubt that it was actually he? |
41001 | I suppose the telegram is n''t left about anywhere?" |
41001 | I suppose you''ve been listening outside-- eh? |
41001 | I wonder whether you would take me to Tottenham Court Road?" |
41001 | I wonder,"he went on thoughtfully, after a pause--"I wonder if I told you whether you would keep the secret?" |
41001 | If Kirk had caused the Professor''s death, then why had he enlisted my aid? |
41001 | If he were not the Professor, then who could he have been? |
41001 | If she had, then how are we to find her? |
41001 | If so, by whom? |
41001 | If so, was not that sufficient proof of his own guilt? |
41001 | In what manner was he assisting his friend, Leonard Langton? |
41001 | Indeed, does it not tend to confirm the story that the Professor did not die, and that he really killed the German in self- defence?" |
41001 | Indeed, my own position was somewhat unenviable, for, being aware that a murder had been committed, was I not legally bound to give information? |
41001 | Is he-- is he your friend, Mr. Holford-- or--_or your enemy_?" |
41001 | Is it any use prolonging this argument?" |
41001 | Is it in connection with any new invention?" |
41001 | Is it not due to you, and you alone, that my wife is missing?" |
41001 | Is it, indeed, to be supposed that I would place myself so entirely and completely in the hands of a stranger?" |
41001 | Is not such a feeling the result of some unseen evil influence radiating from the person suspected-- often quite rightly? |
41001 | Is not that quite feasible?" |
41001 | Is not that so?" |
41001 | Is she not anxious regarding her niece''s whereabouts?" |
41001 | Is there any need to say more? |
41001 | Is there any other message for me?" |
41001 | It was theft, I knew, but was not theft justifiable in such unusual circumstances? |
41001 | It was true that he had taken me into his confidence, but was it not done only for his own ingenious and devilish purpose? |
41001 | Kirk?" |
41001 | Kirk?" |
41001 | Kirk?" |
41001 | Langton?" |
41001 | May I see the Commissioner myself?" |
41001 | My profession? |
41001 | Need I tell you that Mabel and myself stood beside the grave and watched the burial of poor Professor Greer at St. Peter''s, near Broadstairs? |
41001 | Now what is your opinion?" |
41001 | Or should I remain silent and watch? |
41001 | Or was it Kirk himself? |
41001 | Or was it that she herself was an accomplice? |
41001 | Perhaps you will care to see him? |
41001 | Perhaps you''ll come with me again-- eh?" |
41001 | Place yourself in my position and ask yourself what you, in those circumstances, would have thought? |
41001 | Presently he exclaimed:"Would you kindly excuse me? |
41001 | Shall I tell him?" |
41001 | She noted my surprise, and said:"Yes, why should n''t he?" |
41001 | Should I go to the police in the morning and make a clean breast of the whole affair? |
41001 | So you think I''m guilty of the crime, eh?" |
41001 | Such being the case, how can I think ill of the eccentric old fellow?" |
41001 | Surely by doing this I should be performing a work of public benefit? |
41001 | Surely we would have a long time to wait for his arrival? |
41001 | Surely when I invoked your aid I did not commit a grave error of judgment? |
41001 | Surely you have acted as a good friend to me, therefore why should n''t I receive you? |
41001 | The grave- eyed man- servant entered in a few seconds, and as he did so the new- comer said:"Antonio, will you please tell this gentleman who I am?" |
41001 | The mystery of her disappearance was as great and inexplicable as the problem of who killed Professor Greer? |
41001 | The young lady-- she''s--""What do you mean? |
41001 | Then I added:"He was dead when we were together in the laboratory, was he not? |
41001 | Then what did it all mean? |
41001 | Then, of a sudden, he turned to the big grey parrot and asked in a shrill, squeaky tone, almost a croak:"Shall I tell him, Joseph? |
41001 | Then, when the message came, she became almost frantic in her anxiety for your welfare, saying,` Did I not tell you so? |
41001 | There is no reason for her leaving you, is there?" |
41001 | Therefore what could I do? |
41001 | Therefore you, surely, have your own suspicions?" |
41001 | Therefore--""Then does his daughter actually deny having seen him, as I saw him, lying dead in the laboratory?" |
41001 | To whom had the dead man signalled in the Morse code by raising and lowering the blind? |
41001 | Was I not liable to prosecution if I failed to do so? |
41001 | Was Mabel, my beloved and devoted wife, to fall helplessly into their unscrupulous hands? |
41001 | Was he not fooling me when, all the time, he was the actual assassin? |
41001 | Was he the man who killed Professor Greer? |
41001 | Was he young-- or old?" |
41001 | Was it any wonder, then, that I was neglecting my business, leaving all to Pelham, with whom I had communicated by telegram several times? |
41001 | Was it because of fear of him? |
41001 | Was it best to ascend the steps, knock boldly at the door, and inquire the reason of that frantic appeal? |
41001 | Was it for that reason, in order to remove them, that Kershaw Kirk had been there? |
41001 | Was it in Foley Street, that squalid house where I had heard a woman''s frantic screams? |
41001 | Was it not astounding, startling? |
41001 | Was it not, then, more than likely that they would ere long meet again? |
41001 | Was it possible that I had been mistaken in Ethelwynn''s attitude, and that she genuinely believed that her father still lived? |
41001 | Was it possible that he was the unknown assassin, and was only misleading me by clever and cunning devices? |
41001 | Was it possible that her lover also knew the truth? |
41001 | Was it possible that this impostor was the Professor''s twin brother? |
41001 | Was it surprising, therefore, that I should endeavour to shield him?" |
41001 | Was it suspicion of myself? |
41001 | Was not his suggestion to me that I should forget the tragedy sufficient proof of double dealing? |
41001 | Was not that telegram essentially a word of warning given by one accomplice to another? |
41001 | Was not that, in itself, a staggering mystery, exclusive of that secret visit of Kirk''s to Foley Street, and the woman''s cry in that foggy night? |
41001 | Was not that, in itself, sufficient evidence of collusion? |
41001 | Was that person who received the signal afterwards the assassin? |
41001 | Was this Kirk''s work? |
41001 | Was this an additional phase of the already inscrutable problem? |
41001 | Was this man, known as Martin, about to meet Kirk? |
41001 | Was this, then, the reason why I had found him alone in the house? |
41001 | Well, if he did not fear the crime of retaliation being brought home to him, why did he not go openly and lay the facts before the police? |
41001 | Were not those the words of a woman who possessed some guilty knowledge, if not herself guilty of parricide? |
41001 | Were the keys still upon the victim?" |
41001 | What consultation, I wondered, had taken place there? |
41001 | What could I do further? |
41001 | What could I think? |
41001 | What could I think? |
41001 | What could have been the motive? |
41001 | What could have been the story told to her to induce her to become the catspaw of men of that stamp? |
41001 | What could have been their object? |
41001 | What could it all mean? |
41001 | What could it mean? |
41001 | What could it mean? |
41001 | What could it mean? |
41001 | What could that young man want at the house of death? |
41001 | What do you believe occurred?" |
41001 | What do you mean?" |
41001 | What do you say?" |
41001 | What has happened now?" |
41001 | What if I told him of the girl''s mysterious death? |
41001 | What if it were the unknown assassin, returned to the scene of his crime? |
41001 | What is the Professor''s address?" |
41001 | What motive could he have in enticing her away from you?" |
41001 | What motive could they have in killing such an excellent, easygoing master as the Professor?" |
41001 | What motive had he in this? |
41001 | What other reply could I make? |
41001 | What proof have you? |
41001 | What reply could I give? |
41001 | What risks could Kirk be running by coming to Broadstairs? |
41001 | What signal had he made-- and to whom? |
41001 | What then?" |
41001 | What was Germany''s wrath at being foiled in her dastardly attempt to obtain the secret of the new steel, to Mabel''s honour and her love? |
41001 | What was it?" |
41001 | What was the use? |
41001 | What would he say? |
41001 | What would they have thought had they known that I had allowed the mysterious Kirk, who had been lurking there, to escape? |
41001 | What, I wondered, could have been the purport of that mysterious message in German that he had listened to on the telephone just before we had parted? |
41001 | What, I wondered, could possibly be Ethelwynn''s motive in concealing her father''s death? |
41001 | What, I wondered, was the reason of my strange friend being in there alone? |
41001 | What, indeed, did that man want with one of the new tyres? |
41001 | What, indeed, is the motive of all this inquiry? |
41001 | What, indeed, would you have thought in the circumstances? |
41001 | Where is she?" |
41001 | Which of the three, I wondered, was a member of that most exclusive and old- fashioned institution? |
41001 | Which way did young Langton go?" |
41001 | Who and what is he?" |
41001 | Who could he be, that, like the King himself, he could not be brought before a judge? |
41001 | Who could tell? |
41001 | Who had been entertained there by Kirk? |
41001 | Who had killed Professor Greer? |
41001 | Who told you I was back again?" |
41001 | Who was he?" |
41001 | Who was this Kershaw Kirk? |
41001 | Who was this man that his belongings should be exempt from Customs''examination? |
41001 | Who were the three persons who dined here this evening? |
41001 | Who were those two mysterious callers who had followed his visit, and whom Pelham had seen? |
41001 | Who_ did_ kill Professor Greer? |
41001 | Whom were they expecting to arrive? |
41001 | Why dare not Kirk meet him? |
41001 | Why did you leave London so hurriedly?" |
41001 | Why do you ask?" |
41001 | Why had Mabel fled from me, after speeding so swiftly to meet me? |
41001 | Why had he endeavoured to frighten me from going to Scotland Yard? |
41001 | Why had my dear wife Mabel been decoyed out to Italy by them? |
41001 | Why had she crept into the dining- room and removed her hat? |
41001 | Why had she not ascended to her own room? |
41001 | Why had the lights been so suddenly extinguished when Langton had rung the bell? |
41001 | Why has Antonio fled to France?" |
41001 | Why not?" |
41001 | Why should I not tell the truth? |
41001 | Why should I?" |
41001 | Why was she concealing the fact of her father''s death? |
41001 | Why, I thought you intended to see the Professor in Strassburg?" |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why? |
41001 | Why?" |
41001 | Why?" |
41001 | Will they accord you no satisfaction?" |
41001 | Will you become my friend, and assist me in trying to unravel it?" |
41001 | Will you do so? |
41001 | Will you give me another?" |
41001 | Will you go and get a constable-- or shall I?" |
41001 | Will you stay here to bar their exit, while I go out and find a constable?" |
41001 | Will you, at least, give me your promise?" |
41001 | Would it not be to her interest to mislead me and send me off upon a wild- goose chase? |
41001 | Would you care to come with me now? |
41001 | Yes?" |
41001 | Yet had he not openly admitted his inability to prove an alibi? |
41001 | Yet had not Kirk himself expressed a fear at meeting him? |
41001 | Yet how could I recognise a man who was disguised, and whom I had never seen? |
41001 | Yet how could he so impose upon Mabel as to be allowed to pass as her husband? |
41001 | Yet how could she feign ignorance? |
41001 | Yet how dare I divulge a word of what I knew? |
41001 | Yet how was that possible with Mabel present? |
41001 | Yet if I did so, would I be believed? |
41001 | Yet if not, why had he taken such pains to disguise his appearance? |
41001 | Yet in the garb of a mechanic, was I not much handicapped? |
41001 | Yet that even surely did not affect the girl''s amazing attitude? |
41001 | Yet was not Mabel''s liberty-- nay, perhaps her very life-- at stake? |
41001 | Yet was not the temptation to put the question too great to be resisted? |
41001 | Yet was there no suspicion upon Antonio Merli, the foreign servant, who seemed hand- in- glove with Kirk? |
41001 | Yet were not those remains, in conjunction with the words of Kershaw Kirk, sufficient evidence of a grim and ghastly occurrence? |
41001 | Yet why, if he were the actual criminal, had he taken me, a perfect stranger, into his confidence? |
41001 | You are Mr. Kirk, are you not?" |
41001 | You are, I take it, eager to make terms with your enemies, eh?" |
41001 | You have a car outside, I suppose? |
41001 | You have been judicious throughout, I hope? |
41001 | You have known him for a long time-- eh?" |
41001 | You have not forgotten the great issues which I explained depended upon your silence?" |
41001 | You must be pretty busy down there-- eh?" |
41001 | You realise your own peril-- eh?" |
41001 | You seem unusually worried?" |
41001 | You will remember that the mirror remained unclouded by her breath?" |
41001 | You wish to tie me down to that?" |
41001 | You''ll call and see me very soon, wo n''t you?" |
41001 | Young or old?" |
41001 | he asked, as we still stood before the closed door,"what shall we do?" |
41001 | so Antonio is changing his tale in order to fit the new order of events-- is he?" |
41001 | then tell my daughter to come up?" |
