| 20236 | Discern, I pray thee, whose are these, the signet and bracelets and staff? |
| 20236 | If you can? |
| 20236 | A man? |
| 20236 | And after a while Samson was born, and what do you suppose he did just as soon as he became a man? |
| 20236 | And did she do it? |
| 20236 | And did she submissively consent to be deprived of her just dues? |
| 20236 | And did they do it? |
| 20236 | And where did she turn for aid? |
| 20236 | And who can blame Moses if he happened to wear his best raiment? |
| 20236 | And, being in love, he profited not by his late experience( what man or woman ever does who is in love?) |
| 20236 | But where can we find any evidence of the vaunted obedience of woman? |
| 20236 | But where did she turn for aid? |
| 20236 | Did she steal into the tent of his greatest general and kneeling at his feet seek to bribe him with her love? |

| 20236 | Now does one suppose for a moment that she obeyed the mandate of the King? |
| 20236 | That does n''t look as if she were ruled over much, does it? |
| 20236 | Then I smiled and he said abruptly:"When are you going to marry me?" |
| 20236 | To her husband, as a meek, submissive and obedient woman naturally would? |
| 20236 | Was he not gallant, and a striking contrast to the ugly shepherds? |
| 20236 | Was n''t that the sublimest conquering of ambition and crime by love ever known? |
| 20236 | Wo n''t you please find a club and knock it off for me?" |
| 20236 | Wonderful, was n''t it, that it was her"hap"to light on a part of the field belonging to Boaz? |
| 20236 | [ Illustration:( What would''st thou?)] |
| 20236 | hath he not spoken also by us?" |
| 32906 | Always? |
| 32906 | And I suppose they are also-- human? |
| 32906 | And anyway, what could be less important right now than the way I look? |
| 32906 | Any volunteers? |
| 32906 | But do n''t you want to take off that awful-- beard? |
| 32906 | But what about little Jimmie and Janice? |
| 32906 | But-- but what do you mean? |
| 32906 | Do you? 32906 How did you get here alive?" |
| 32906 | My dear, what is_ this_? |
| 32906 | Silly of me was n''t it? 32906 Then it''s just a matter of getting back aboard that same ship, and into this secret room unobserved?" |
| 32906 | What are you trying to sell now? |
| 32906 | What is your recommendation, Bowren? |
| 32906 | What? 32906 Why reform your men? |
| 32906 | Will you come this way please? |
| 32906 | All right?" |
| 32906 | And what is your name, please?" |
| 32906 | And who would want a woman who was just what a man wanted her to be? |
| 32906 | Back there... with the other men I mean?" |
| 32906 | But even though I''ve failed, it''s worth all the suffering, if you''ll tell me-- where did all the ah-- men come from?" |
| 32906 | But was it?_] After the Doctor gave him the hypo and left the ship, Bowren lay in absolute darkness wondering when the change would start. |
| 32906 | But what? |
| 32906 | Could the women have been influenced by some alien life form on Mars? |
| 32906 | Do you?" |
| 32906 | Good grief, you mean they''ve found a way--?" |
| 32906 | Is that so important? |
| 32906 | It''s natural is n''t it for a man to have hair on his face? |
| 32906 | Listen, Eddie, how did you intend to get back to Earth?" |
| 32906 | Native Martians? |
| 32906 | Perfect you understand? |
| 32906 | Tears, what could you do with a woman''s tears? |
| 32906 | These smiling robots, these goons who are nothing else but reflections in a woman''s mirror? |
| 32906 | What about the men? |
| 32906 | What are you going to do with me?" |
| 32906 | What are you smiling about? |
| 32906 | What had they done? |
| 32906 | What kind of men are these? |
| 32906 | What? |
| 32906 | Where had the man come from? |
| 32906 | Where''s the fire? |
| 32906 | Where''s the individuality? |
| 32906 | Who would really want a man like that? |
| 32906 | Why not tell her? |
| 32906 | Why not--?" |
| 32906 | Will you accept the reports of the scientists who investigated those formulas?" |
| 51150 | And what makes you think that I''d consider you a desirable husband? |
| 51150 | But what''re they saying? |
| 51150 | Butt, why did you do it? 51150 Can I lower my hands a minute?" |
| 51150 | Does it, now? |
| 51150 | Ferdinand your label? 51150 Flatfolk are the Venusian natives, are n''t they? |
| 51150 | Ford? 51150 Hey, purse, remember when the whole family with their pop at the head went into Heatwave to argue with Colonel Leclerc?" |
| 51150 | How''s that? |
| 51150 | Is Butt a nickname, too? |
| 51150 | Let''s? 51150 Not what?" |
| 51150 | There is? 51150 Well, you''re guilty of them, are n''t you?" |
| 51150 | What about that promise, Sis? 51150 What breed of tadpole are they turning out these days? |
| 51150 | What did you stick him for? |
| 51150 | What happened? |
| 51150 | What is this picture of me doing in your pocket, Ferdinand? |
| 51150 | What was the price? |
| 51150 | What''s happening? |
| 51150 | _ What?_"A''nuran is a female looking to nest. 51150 And I''m with you while you''re doing it? |
| 51150 | And did n''t I know that you had to be a citizen of a planet in order to get an interplanetary passport? |
| 51150 | And what''s Undersea?" |
| 51150 | Are all Venusians built like that?" |
| 51150 | Are you a Venusian? |
| 51150 | Besides, what business do_ you_ have this close to the hull?" |
| 51150 | But knock or voice? |
| 51150 | But this lifeboat-- don''t you know that every passenger ship carries four times as many lifeboats as it needs? |
| 51150 | Butt?" |
| 51150 | Butt?" |
| 51150 | Did n''t I know from my civics class that only women could be Earth Citizens these days? |
| 51150 | Ferdinand, it''s a man who has been giving you these anti- social ideas, is n''t it? |
| 51150 | Ferdinand, who has been perverting that sunny and carefree soul of yours?" |
| 51150 | Forcible Citizenship Indoctrination, they call it? |
| 51150 | How would I know that stuff would lead to trouble for me? |
| 51150 | I suppose you did n''t know that under space regulations that makes him equally guilty?" |
| 51150 | In fact--""Pardon me, sir,"I broke in,"but does n''t_ dunging_ come only from Leif Erickson Island off the Moscow Peninsula of the Macro Continent? |
| 51150 | Let''s_ what_? |
| 51150 | Like the splash?" |
| 51150 | Mr. Brown has?" |
| 51150 | Not to mention the food I did n''t eat because it stuck in my throat?" |
| 51150 | Now, who has been filling your head with all this nonsense?" |
| 51150 | Sis said with a certain amount of hurry and change of tone,"What_ do_ you have to say about stowing away and using up lifeboat stores?" |
| 51150 | Then there''s his brother Saskatchewan who considers Butt a helpless, put- upon youngster--""Much influence, you say? |
| 51150 | What part of Venus do you come from? |
| 51150 | What''ll happen to that man''s world?" |
| 51150 | When I did, I was almost ill."Y- you mean,"I choked,"th- that you''re b- breaking the law right now? |
| 51150 | Why Sis?" |
| 51150 | You remember, purser-- Wang Li''s third exploration, where he proved the island and the peninsula did n''t meet for most of the year?" |
| 51150 | _ Ford?_ Now, you listen to me, Ferdinand...."After that it was all over but the confession. |
| 59283 | How did Bill like that, Simon? |
| 59283 | How do you make that out? |
| 59283 | Is it possible? |
| 59283 | No,sez Uncle Sime,"she wuz always good natered and dressed pretty, and why should n''t she?" |
| 59283 | Yes, indeed, and why ca n''t females settle down in matrimony and stay to home with their famblys, and take care of their children? |
| 59283 | Yes,sez Samantha reasonably,"a happy marriage is, I guess, about as nigh Heaven as folks ever git on earth, but how many do you find, Josiah?" |
| 59283 | You do know, do n''t you, dear Samantha, that it has always been men''s chief aim and desire to protect the weaker inferior sect? |
| 59283 | A rustic had broke down his team, I mused almost in tears, How can a yoke be borne along By half a pair of steers? |
| 59283 | And I told him the first we knew a female would snake a man up to the altar, and the minister would be made to say, Who giveth this man to this woman? |
| 59283 | And after he went out with''em I asked Samantha,"What do you spoze the Vice President wanted of sheep shears this time of year?" |
| 59283 | And how could she soothe and comfort anybody droudgin''round as she had all day and all wore out? |
| 59283 | And how much blood money is made yearly by whiskey sellin''? |
| 59283 | And if a grocer lets his eatin''stuff lay round outdoors for the flies to roost on, do you spoze they''ll buy that stuff? |
| 59283 | And she sez,"Why ca n''t they do both? |
| 59283 | And the appaulin''thought come to me onbid, if she did who would finish up the dinner? |
| 59283 | And what duz E Pluribus Unum mean? |
| 59283 | And when the minister asked,"Who giveth this woman to this man?" |
| 59283 | And which party is it, Josiah, that turns and twists every way to save money so her boy and girl can present a decent appearance before her mates? |
| 59283 | And why should n''t she dress pretty? |
| 59283 | Anon Betsy turned to her and sez,"Josiah Allen''s wife, will you not help plead with him in the name of a strugglin''sister woman?" |
| 59283 | As she made that damagin''insertion agin, is it any wonder that the plough of my manly judgment struck fire from her rocky obstinacy? |
| 59283 | But did I hear her say this? |
| 59283 | But what of it, what had that got to do with my great work that wuz seethin''through my brain? |
| 59283 | But''tennyrate she refused outright to soothe and comfort him, and if that hain''t a wife''s duty what is? |
| 59283 | Do you spoze that pa would stood it havin''a wife that acted as if she knew as much as he did? |
| 59283 | Do you think,"sez I anxiously,"that it will clog and weigh it down too much?" |
| 59283 | Even Condelick Henzy wuz took back and browbeat and sez mekanically,"What do you spoze they wuz goin''to do with the kettle?" |
| 59283 | Everybody would know that young Smith had a mother somewhere in the background, but what''s the use of bringin''her forward so and makin''on her? |
| 59283 | For as Uncle Sime sez,"What man is square in public life? |
| 59283 | For how can you curb in a outraged and high sperited nature when it is fully rousted up, and aggravation has gone too fur? |
| 59283 | For what connection, I ask, is there between the finest fruit in literature, and hens? |
| 59283 | Hain''t the eagle a male bird? |
| 59283 | Happier? |
| 59283 | Have you got a crick?" |
| 59283 | He wuz always boastin''about men''s courtesy and chivalry, and how did it come out?" |
| 59283 | How could I grant her request without sinkin''down to the low female level? |
| 59283 | How is it told on now? |
| 59283 | How many billions a year duz the useless extravagance of tobacco cost? |
| 59283 | How many millions a year duz the horse races, yot races and polo games and other manly amusements amount to? |
| 59283 | How would she felt if she had n''t been made? |
| 59283 | If wimmen do n''t need a man to protect her and take care on her, why is she so much more ignorant of sin and depravity? |
| 59283 | Is there any limit to a female''s aggravatin''? |
| 59283 | Now if a smart hustlin''saloon keeper is nominated for some high office and wimmen could vote, what would be the consequence? |
| 59283 | Oh, what would Bill''s great- grandma thought on''t? |
| 59283 | Or carry a vanity bag?" |
| 59283 | STANZAS ON DUTY_ By Betsy Bobbett_ Unless they do their duty see Oh who would spread their sail On matrimony''s cruel sea And face its angry gale? |
| 59283 | Samantha counted"two and two"to herself, and then said in a mild axent,"Why would a bad woman''s vote be worse than a bad man''s?" |
| 59283 | Sez I so scathin''ly that it seemed as if she must show signs of scorchin'',"Did you ever see a man wear a cosset? |
| 59283 | Sez I,"Do you ever pause to think, Samantha, of the inestimable boon wimmen owe to men? |
| 59283 | Sez I,"Hain''t that a solemn proof, Samantha, that females are inferior and wuzn''t considered worth writin''about?" |
| 59283 | Sez I,"Samantha, do n''t you believe this forthcomin''book of mine is goin''to be the greatest work of this age, or any age?" |
| 59283 | Sez I,"What do you think, Samantha, about my great projeck of destroyin''female suffrage? |
| 59283 | Sez I,"Would you honor Betsy by lettin''her put some of her verses in my great volume? |
| 59283 | Sez Samantha,"I admit there are beautiful instances of men protectin''and guardin''wimmen, but how wuz it with Fez Lanfear? |
| 59283 | Shall females be dragged to the altar, And down their freedom lay? |
| 59283 | Shall horses calmly brook a halter Who over fenceless pastures stray? |
| 59283 | What do you think of my writin''the book?" |
| 59283 | What do you think of that, Simon?" |
| 59283 | What is more affectin''than to see how Betsy tried to hide her lifelong pursuit of man, and matrimony, under the cold word,_ duty_? |
| 59283 | What jinin''link is there between the most scathin''and convincin''arguments ever writ by mortal man, and eggs? |
| 59283 | What would be the effect on Samantha? |
| 59283 | What wuz my duty in the matter? |
| 59283 | What wuz the use of draggin''a female''s initional into it? |
| 59283 | What''s the use on''t? |
| 59283 | Where is the good horse sense on''t? |
| 59283 | Where would they been then, and where would they be to- day?" |
| 59283 | Who ever hearn a man purr? |
| 59283 | Who wuz fascinated by it? |
| 59283 | Why is there five times more men in prisons and penitentiaries than there is wimmen, if they knowed as much about crime as men do? |
| 59283 | Would she be overcome and swoon away? |
| 59283 | Would she overwhelm me with reproaches and entreaties to stop and not ruin her sect? |
| 59283 | Would they venter if they had n''t found that it wuz a good thing?" |
| 59283 | Wuz it right for me to deny her the boon of immortality in the pages of my great work? |
| 59283 | have I ever got to see that day? |
| 59283 | how can they be? |
| 59283 | what are we a comin''to? |
| 59283 | what is the matter, Josiah? |
| 7833 | And where are the children? |
| 7833 | And why is this meetin''any more onwomanly or immodest than the camp- meetin''where you wuz converted, and baptized the next Sunday in the creek? |
| 7833 | Be changed? 7833 Do you allude to our venerable speaker, Joe Cannon?" |
| 7833 | Do_ they_ know enough to vote? |
| 7833 | How would you put the objection? |
| 7833 | In jail? 7833 Indignant about what?" |
| 7833 | Is it not a part of woman''s life that she gave at the birth and crucifixion? 7833 Joseph?" |
| 7833 | Let? |
| 7833 | Pardon me, madam, but if you are happy in your married relations, and your husband is a temperate good man, why do you feel so upon this subject? |
| 7833 | Serepta Pester,sez I,"be you tellin''the truth?" |
| 7833 | The what? |
| 7833 | Then,sez I,"why do n''t you make the United States do right?" |
| 7833 | Well,sez I,"do you think the weather is goin''to moderate?" |
| 7833 | What? |
| 7833 | When are you goin''? |
| 7833 | Who is Josiah? |
| 7833 | Why should you be dyin''on the buttery shelf, Josiah? |
| 7833 | Why, where is their property gone? |
| 7833 | Why,sez I,"did they invite you? |
| 7833 | You look very fatigued; wo n''t you take something? |
| 7833 | And I hung back and asked her in a cautious tone,"How many she wanted canvassed, and how much canvas it would take?" |
| 7833 | And I stopped his complaints and his sithes by askin''in a voice that demanded a reply:"Can you and will you do Serepta''s errents? |
| 7833 | And he sez to me, real uppish,"Do you think them things know enough to vote?" |
| 7833 | And is her throne more shaky and tottlin''than theirn?" |
| 7833 | And sez I, in low but startlin''tones of principle:"Where, where is it a- drawin''''em to? |
| 7833 | And then thinkin''I must say sunthin''and wantin''to strike a safe subject and a good lookin''one, I sez:"Where is your Aunt Cassandra''s girl? |
| 7833 | And then to git her mind offen her sufferin''s, I asked how her sister Azuba wuz gittin''along? |
| 7833 | And when he asked me agin in tones full of awe and horrow:"Can it be that I heard my ear aright? |
| 7833 | And will you break the Whiskey Ring?" |
| 7833 | And would they do this if they did n''t think that their vile trades would suffer if women had the right to vote? |
| 7833 | And you can then throw your other eye over to Holland: is their sweet queen less worthy and beloved to- day than other European monarchs? |
| 7833 | Anthony?" |
| 7833 | But here an old man, who had jest dropped in and who wuz kinder deef and slow- witted, asked,"What it is about anyway? |
| 7833 | But thinkin''I must be sociable I sez:"Your aunt Cassandra is well, I spoze?" |
| 7833 | Change the laws of the United States? |
| 7833 | Do n''t you remember what one on''em writ to Uncle Sime Bentley and what he writ back? |
| 7833 | Errents full of truth and justice and eternal right?" |
| 7833 | God Himself called woman into that work, the divine work of saving a world, and why should n''t she continue in it? |
| 7833 | Hain''t they never been changed?" |
| 7833 | Have you a leanin''toward Natural history, madam? |
| 7833 | Have you ever read the Bible?" |
| 7833 | Have you ever studied into the habits and traits of our American Wad?" |
| 7833 | How can she fly when the weight of this infamous traffic is holdin''her down?" |
| 7833 | How would it work to stop the trouble by givin''the wimmen the rights they ask for, the rights of any other citizen?" |
| 7833 | I see you do not wear your lovely hair bang- like or a- pompadouris? |
| 7833 | I sez in pityin''tones, for I wuz truly sorry for Cassandra Keeler:"How did it end?" |
| 7833 | Is it drawin''''em down into a slavery ten times more abject and soul- destroyin''than African slavery ever wuz? |
| 7833 | Let me treat you to something; what will you take, mom?" |
| 7833 | Or did you speak of changin''the unalterable laws of the United States-- tampering with the Constitution?" |
| 7833 | Search the records and you''ll find it so, and why? |
| 7833 | Sez I,"Ca n''t the laws be changed?" |
| 7833 | Sez I,"Do you mean waddin''eight cents a sheet?" |
| 7833 | Sez I,"How duz it look before the nations to see Columbia led round half- tipsy by a Ring?" |
| 7833 | Sez I,"Where is Senator B.?" |
| 7833 | Sez I,"Who is the man or men?" |
| 7833 | Sez Josiah:"Does that_ thing_ know enough to vote?" |
| 7833 | Silence rained for some time; and finally I spoke out solemnly through the rain:"Will you do Serepta''s errents? |
| 7833 | That pretty girl I see to your house once?" |
| 7833 | These, mingled with the divine, the pure heavenly, have they not for nineteen hundred years been blessin''the world? |
| 7833 | They had seen their wives in the past chasin''Fashion and Amusement, and why should n''t they enjoy seein''them follow Principle and Justice? |
| 7833 | Was not Mr. Herod once in the United States Senate?" |
| 7833 | Was the rain of Victoria the Good less peaceful and prosperous than that of the male rulers who preceded her? |
| 7833 | Where is it drawin''the hull nation to? |
| 7833 | Who ever hearn of a angel foldin''up her wings and goin''to a poor- house or jail through the fault of somebody else? |
| 7833 | Who ever hearn of a angel havin''to take in washin''to support a drunken son or father or husband? |
| 7833 | Who wants to see her old bones?" |
| 7833 | Why ca n''t women stay to home and set down and knit? |
| 7833 | Will you give her her rights? |
| 7833 | Wo n''t you take something? |
| 7833 | You are not a member?" |
| 7833 | [ Illustration:"Sez Josiah,''Does that thing know enough to vote?''"] |
| 7833 | and tend to its picnics and suppers, and take care of the children? |
| 7833 | sez I,"what do you mean?" |
| 7833 | what could Justice do blind in one eye and wimmen on the blind side? |
| 7833 | what do the wimmen ask for when they are pounded and jailed and starved?" |
| 41256 | Shall those by heaven''s own influence join''d, By feeling, sympathy, and mind, The sacred voice of truth deny, And mock the mandate of the sky? |
| 41256 | ''A deserted outcast from society-- a desolate orphan-- what was to become of me-- to whom could I fly?'' |
| 41256 | ''And why this confusion, my dear Miss Courtney; do you blush for having acted with propriety and spirit?'' |
| 41256 | ''But, methinks, I hear you say,--"Whither does all this tend, and what end does it propose?" |
| 41256 | ''Can you bear the truth?'' |
| 41256 | ''Could I suppose,''he asked,''that he had been without_ his share_ of suffering?'' |
| 41256 | ''Do you come,''enquired I, in a voice scarcely articulate,''from my husband?'' |
| 41256 | ''Do you not think, Miss Courtney,''said she, turning to me,''that soldiers are the most agreeable and charming men in the world?'' |
| 41256 | ''Emma,''said he, in a softened accent, taking my trembling and almost lifeless hand,''how came you here, which way did you enter?'' |
| 41256 | ''Has Mr Francis engaged you to correspond with him?'' |
| 41256 | ''Have you not cherished a false pride?'' |
| 41256 | ''How shall I cure this foible?'' |
| 41256 | ''I am indebted to you-- how shall I repay your goodness? |
| 41256 | ''I checked my tears, as they flowed, and they are already dried-- uncalled, unwished, for-- why do they, thus, struggle to force their way? |
| 41256 | ''I do ask myself, every day--"Why should I be miserable?" |
| 41256 | ''I know not how, without doing myself a painful violence, to relinquish your society; and why, let me again ask, should I? |
| 41256 | ''I was ill- natured,''she told me.--''How could I be so severe upon the_ charming_ and_ elegant_ Mr Pemberton?'' |
| 41256 | ''I will speak more plainly:--Has he made you any proposals?'' |
| 41256 | ''If you are conscious of no crime, why all this ridiculous confusion?'' |
| 41256 | ''Is this a time, Mr Montague, for an address of this nature-- do you believe, that my favour is to be gained by these proofs of inconsideration? |
| 41256 | ''Is this just-- is it kind? |
| 41256 | ''My errors have been the errors of_ affection_--Do they deserve this rigor?'' |
| 41256 | ''Pray,''--interrupted Sarah, pertly--''would you not have expressed some surprize, had I shewed Mr Montague similar attentions?'' |
| 41256 | ''Tell me what it is you fear;--are your apprehensions founded in reason?'' |
| 41256 | ''Tell me, then, sincerely-- I know you will not deceive me-- Have you ever felt for me those sentiments with which Augustus Harley inspired you?'' |
| 41256 | ''The mind must have an object:--should I desist from my present pursuit, after all it has cost me, for what can I change it? |
| 41256 | ''What happiness( I repeated to myself) could I have expected with a man, thus regardless of my feelings?'' |
| 41256 | ''What is the matter, my friend-- whence came you?'' |
| 41256 | ''What, then, is become of your own?'' |
| 41256 | ''What, young lady,''( suddenly turning to me)''do you think a lover would not risque, who was in fear of losing you?'' |
| 41256 | ''Where am I, how came I here?'' |
| 41256 | ''Why is it,''said I,''that our sagacity, and penetration, frequently desert us on the most interesting occasions? |
| 41256 | ''Why will you be so unjust, both to me, and to yourself?'' |
| 41256 | ''Why will you thus take things in masses, and continually dwell in extremes? |
| 41256 | ''Why, then, this cruel ostentation? |
| 41256 | ''Why, then,''interrupted he with quickness,''do you reject an opportunity of placing yourself out of the reach of insult?'' |
| 41256 | ''Will I? |
| 41256 | ''Will not your father, my love, allow me to speak with him? |
| 41256 | ''Will you allow me to ask you a question?'' |
| 41256 | ''Will you, then, allow me, through the medium of pen and paper, to address, to consult you, as I may see occasion?'' |
| 41256 | ''You ask, whether-- because human beings are still imperfect-- you are to resign your benevolence, and to cherish misanthropy? |
| 41256 | ''You distress and terrify me,''said I, gasping for breath--''What is to be done-- shall we call in further advice?'' |
| 41256 | ''You leave me,''said I, in a low and tremulous tone,''and you leave me still in suspense?'' |
| 41256 | ''_ Think!_ sister,''said the lordly Mr Melmoth, with an exulting laugh,''what have_ servants_, or_ women_, to do with_ thinking_?'' |
| 41256 | --''Will you not love him, my child,''--(gazing upon me,)--''with a sisterly affection?'' |
| 41256 | --How shall I tear from my heart all its darling, close twisted, associations?--And must I live--_live for what?_ God only knows! |
| 41256 | And how am I to stop it? |
| 41256 | And is this all of human life-- this, that passes like a tale that is told? |
| 41256 | Are not passions and powers synonimous-- or can the latter be produced without the lively interest that constitutes the former? |
| 41256 | Are we not the creatures of outward impressions? |
| 41256 | Are we, or are we not( as you have taught me) the creatures of sensation and circumstance? |
| 41256 | But I had been habituated to subdue my feelings, and should I suffer them to disturb the last moments of him,_ who had taught me this painful lesson_? |
| 41256 | But argue with the wretch infected with the plague-- will it stop the tide of blood, that is rapidly carrying its contagion to the heart? |
| 41256 | But do you not perceive, that my reason was the auxiliary of my passion, or rather my passion the generative principle of my reason? |
| 41256 | But while the source continues troubled, why expect the streams to run pure? |
| 41256 | But why am I to lose your friendship? |
| 41256 | But, if their professed purpose were misery, could they be more skilful and ingenious in the pursuit? |
| 41256 | But, what is it to me?'' |
| 41256 | But, why should I harrow up your susceptible mind, by dwelling on these cruel scenes? |
| 41256 | Can I distrust, for a moment, those principles of rectitude, of honour, of goodness, which gave birth to my affection? |
| 41256 | Can I not have a mind to understand, and a heart to feel excellence, without first parting with the fairest attribute of my nature? |
| 41256 | Can I tear open again, can I cause to bleed afresh, in your heart and my own, wounds scarcely closed? |
| 41256 | Can a desire to call forth all the best affections of the heart, be misconstrued into something too degrading for expression? |
| 41256 | Can hypocrisy be virtue? |
| 41256 | Can you forgive me?'' |
| 41256 | Dear and cruel friend, why did you transfix my heart with the barbed and envenomed arrow, and then refuse to administer the only healing balsam? |
| 41256 | Dear, Mr Pemberton, did you ever hear a lady talk so strangely?'' |
| 41256 | Do I mean always to deplore the prejudices which have, systematically, weakened the female character, without making any effort to rise above them? |
| 41256 | Do you dream of annihilating the one-- and will not the other be extinguished? |
| 41256 | Do you wish again to see me the slave of my passions-- do you regret, that I am restored to reason? |
| 41256 | Do you, indeed, interest yourself in my fate? |
| 41256 | Does this satisfy you, Sir?'' |
| 41256 | Have I exercised my understanding, without ever intending to apply my principles to practice? |
| 41256 | Have I not witnessed his humanity, have I not experienced his delicacy, in a thousand instances? |
| 41256 | He once more enquired, but in a tone of greater reserve, how I had entered the room without his knowledge? |
| 41256 | He shook his head-- I related to him the methods I had taken, and enquired whether I had erred? |
| 41256 | He started from his seat, and, advancing towards me with hurried and tremulous steps, sternly demanded, Why I intruded on his retirement? |
| 41256 | How should they know what is right? |
| 41256 | I adopted the language of the tender Eloisa--''Why,''said I,''am I indebted for life to his care, whose cruelty has rendered it insupportable? |
| 41256 | I am ready to say--(ungrateful that I am)--Why did you put me upon calling forth my strong reason? |
| 41256 | I ask, why? |
| 41256 | I can read any mind with greater facility than I can read your''s; and, yet, what other have I so attentively studied? |
| 41256 | I gazed on every object,_ for the last time_--What is there in these words that awakens our fanaticisms? |
| 41256 | I had certainly committed many errors!--Who has not-- who, with a fancy as lively, feelings as acute, and a character as sanguine, as mine? |
| 41256 | I perceive my extravagance, my views were equally false and romantic-- dare I to say-- they were the ardent excesses of a generous mind? |
| 41256 | I reiterated the important, the so often proposed, enquiry--''Had he, or had he not, a_ present, existing, engagement_?'' |
| 41256 | I seemed not to hear her.--''Have you any thing more to say, my dear uncle?'' |
| 41256 | I sighed bitterly; and, clasping my hands together, exclaimed, unconsciously--''Whither can I go-- and where shall I find an asylum?'' |
| 41256 | I sighed deeply;--in either case the reflection was melancholy;--my eyes enquired--''Am I to hate or to despise you?'' |
| 41256 | I sighed, and my eyes filled with tears--''Is, then, affection so_ capricious_ a sentiment-- is it possible to love what we despise?'' |
| 41256 | If men would but take the trouble to ask themselves, once every day, Why should I be miserable? |
| 41256 | Innumerable mistakes have been made, both moral and philosophical:--while covered with a sacred and mysterious veil, how are they to be detected? |
| 41256 | Is it philosophical? |
| 41256 | Is it virtue, then, to combat, or to yield to, my passions?'' |
| 41256 | Is it, indeed,_ my welfare_ you seek, while you can thus add to the vexations and embarrassment, which were before sufficiently oppressive? |
| 41256 | Is not this the theory which you have taught me? |
| 41256 | Is the example you have given me, of a steady adherence to honour and principle, to be merely respected, without exciting in my bosom any emulation? |
| 41256 | Is this true? |
| 41256 | Is, then, apathy the perfection of our nature-- and is not that nature refined and harmonized by the gentle and social affections? |
| 41256 | It is in vain I ask-- what have those to do with"_ seeming_,"who still retain"that which_ passeth shew_?" |
| 41256 | It is true, you did not directly deceive me-- but is that enough for the delicacy of humanity? |
| 41256 | Must I continually blot the page with the tale of sorrow? |
| 41256 | My_ affection_ for you( why should I seek for vague, inexpressive phrases?) |
| 41256 | No other man, perhaps, could have acted the part which this man has acted:--how, then, was I to take such a part into my calculations? |
| 41256 | Ought I, or ought I not, to blush while I acknowledge them? |
| 41256 | Shall I reward a faithful and generous tenderness, like yours, with a cold, a worthless, an alienated, mind? |
| 41256 | Shall I, then, relinquish my efforts, when, perhaps, on the very verge of success? |
| 41256 | Shall I, then, sign the unjust decree, that women are incapable of energy and fortitude? |
| 41256 | Supposing, then, that you are, at present, entangled in an engagement which answers not this description-- Is it virtue to fulfil, or to renounce, it? |
| 41256 | The few worthy persons I have known appear, to me, to be struggling with the same half suppressed emotions.--Whence is all this? |
| 41256 | The world, like every individual, has its progress from infancy to maturity-- How many follies do we commit in childhood? |
| 41256 | There is no end to this reasoning-- what individual can limit the desires of another? |
| 41256 | To speak from your own description, was there ever a life, in its present period, less chequered with substantial_ bona fide_ misfortune? |
| 41256 | To your_ honor_ I have confided this cherished_ secret_--dare you betray my confidence? |
| 41256 | We have both erred-- why should we not exchange mutual forgiveness? |
| 41256 | What I have to apprehend? |
| 41256 | What are passions, but another name for powers? |
| 41256 | What can I say?'' |
| 41256 | What could the interest of my little fortune afford? |
| 41256 | What is become of my pupil? |
| 41256 | What is it that we desire--_pleasure_--_happiness_? |
| 41256 | What is it we desire? |
| 41256 | What is virtue, but a calculation of_ the consequences of our actions_? |
| 41256 | What say you, Mr Harley?'' |
| 41256 | What!--can_ even you_ shrink from the consequences of your own principles? |
| 41256 | When will mankind be aware of the uniformity, of the importance, of truth? |
| 41256 | Who can say where the evil may stop?'' |
| 41256 | Why are we bound, by the habits of society, as with an adamantine chain? |
| 41256 | Why can not I sleep, and, close my eyes upon it for ever? |
| 41256 | Why do we suffer ourselves to be confined within a magic circle, without daring, by a magnanimous effort, to dissolve the barbarous spell? |
| 41256 | Why have I been rendered feeble and delicate by bodily constraint, and fastidious by artificial refinement? |
| 41256 | Why is intellect and virtue so far from conferring happiness? |
| 41256 | Why is the active mind a prey to the incessant conflict between truth and error? |
| 41256 | Why should we afflict each other? |
| 41256 | Why was I not educated for commerce, for a profession, for labour? |
| 41256 | Will these principles prevent me from admiring, esteeming, and loving such as are worthy to excite these emotions? |
| 41256 | Will you allow my own wounded feelings to be an excuse for the too little consideration with which I have treated_ your''s_? |
| 41256 | Will you permit me to attend you in your library? |
| 41256 | Without such impressions, should we be any thing? |
| 41256 | Would I please to describe to him the model of perfection which I should require in a husband? |
| 41256 | Would you hate the inhabitants of an hospital for being infected with a pestilential disorder? |
| 41256 | Yet, how am I sure that there is a God-- is he wise-- is he powerful-- is he benevolent? |
| 41256 | Yet, what could have been easier, than to repeat so plain and so simple a tale? |
| 41256 | Yet, why? |
| 41256 | You, who are a philosopher, will you still controvert the principles founded in truth and nature? |
| 41256 | [ 16] Who would be born if they could help it? |
| 41256 | added he, in a plaintive voice,''_ dost thou, indeed, still love me?_''and, heaving a convulsive sigh, sunk again on his pillow. |
| 41256 | exclaimed the person, whose meditations I had interrupted,''what is that?'' |
| 41256 | had I known the nature of those vexations, could I have merited such a reproof? |
| 41256 | he exclaimed, taking my hand, and pressing it with his lips--''My sister!--my friend!--how shall I ever pay the debt I owe you?'' |
| 41256 | is perfect? |
| 41256 | my Augustus, my friend, my son-- what has it not cost me, and what impressions has it not renewed? |
| 41256 | my son, need I proceed? |
| 41256 | the pleasure of an instant, only; or that which is more solid and permanent? |
| 41256 | what might they not have aided? |
| 41256 | where am I?'' |
| 41256 | while I confess their impotence, with what consistency do I accuse the flinty, impenetrable, heart, I so earnestly sought, in vain, to move? |
| 41256 | you little truant,''said she, in a voice of kindness,''where have you been so long? |
| 14863 | All the hundred dollars all by herself, Jane? |
| 14863 | All women do, Evelina, why not you-- live with James? |
| 14863 | And then you will be here by yourself, so you can watch over Cousin James, as much as your work will allow you, ca n''t you, Evelina? |
| 14863 | And you will be glad to have me-- come and live for a time in your home life, dear? |
| 14863 | And-- and all of his-- his guests are really dependent on him? |
| 14863 | Are we free women, and have we, or have we not, command of our own storerooms and our own servants and our own time and strength? |
| 14863 | Are you coming-- are you coming to live with us, Evelina? 14863 Are you going to let us make another dress for the kiddies, Sallie, dear?" |
| 14863 | Are you ready, Evelina? 14863 Big scheme this-- got him in a corner if the C.& G. comes along this side of Old Harpeth-- make him squeal-- hey?" |
| 14863 | But what shall we do if they do n''t want to have it? |
| 14863 | But what_ are_ you going to do, Evelina? |
| 14863 | But-- but would n''t it be a little crowded for him to have another-- another vine-- that is, exactly what would he do with me? 14863 Did it ever occur to you, Evelina, that your Cousin James is really a radiantly beautiful man? |
| 14863 | Did they consult you before deciding to refuse your suggestion? |
| 14863 | Do I have to answer? |
| 14863 | Do n''t you all''spose God made the sun some to heat up Kit''s stomach? |
| 14863 | Do n''t you know when youse left? |
| 14863 | Do n''t you think he looks scraggy in that long- tailed coat, shocks of taggy hair and a collar big enough to fit Old Harpeth? |
| 14863 | Do n''t you want to come with us? |
| 14863 | Do you know, Polk, there is one woman in the world who could-- could handle you? |
| 14863 | Do you suppose we will ever get all of the clothes done for the twins? |
| 14863 | Do you think that there-- there are any signs of-- of such a thing yet? |
| 14863 | Do you use the same methods with grown beasts that you do with cubs? |
| 14863 | Do you want me single- handed to get the bluff line chosen? |
| 14863 | Does-- does Cousin James have to support Sallie and the children, Uncle Peter? |
| 14863 | Done what? |
| 14863 | Evelina, are you real or a-- farce? |
| 14863 | Everything but what he carries around under that old gray hat of his-- not so bad a fortune, at that!--hey? |
| 14863 | Have we or have we not? |
| 14863 | Have you made up your mind fully to go in for public life, Nell? |
| 14863 | Have you said anything about this to Sallie? |
| 14863 | Hey? 14863 How many families has he with him now?" |
| 14863 | I have asked, when did the men of Glendale begin to dictate to the women as to whom they should offer their hospitality? |
| 14863 | I wonder if I ought to make up my mind to stay with him? 14863 I''d be mighty particular as to who handles me,"he answered impudently,"Want to try?" |
| 14863 | If I were to take my hat and go back to the gate and come in again properly and let you do it, would that make you feel any better? |
| 14863 | If women eat out loud before everybody why ca n''t they pray their thank- you out loud like any man? |
| 14863 | If you could define a real woman, Polk, in what terms would you express her? |
| 14863 | If you wanted me any time, would you tell me, Evelina? |
| 14863 | If you was on a train, what did you git offen it_ here_ for? |
| 14863 | If you were ever lonely and needed me, Evelina, you would tell me, would n''t you? |
| 14863 | Is n''t that old mossback a treat for the sight of gods and men? |
| 14863 | Is n''t there anything to feed the monsters this side of the river? |
| 14863 | It would be a good thing to get about a half dozen cakes, would n''t it? |
| 14863 | Jamie, is all you''ve got tied up in the venture? |
| 14863 | Lonely-- hey? |
| 14863 | Must we tell them about it or not? |
| 14863 | Must you, Eve? |
| 14863 | Not yet, but do n''t you feel sure that she will consent? |
| 14863 | Now, what shall we put in the portmanteau first? 14863 Now?" |
| 14863 | Of course, I should be desolate without mine, but what could I do with them, if I did n''t have all of you dear people to help me with them? |
| 14863 | Oh, Henrietta, how could you nearly kill your little sister like this? |
| 14863 | Oh, Polk, how could you have misunderstood me like this? |
| 14863 | Oh, has Cousin James really lost all of his fortune? |
| 14863 | Polk, do you see any logical, honest or dishonest way to get that Road to take the Glendale bluff line? |
| 14863 | That would be lovely, Aunt Augusta, and how are you? |
| 14863 | The men of this town will show the uprising hussies what we think of''em, and put''em back to the heels of men, where they belong-- belong-- hey? |
| 14863 | Then, why should you wonder and suffer and restrain and be humiliated at your love for Polk? |
| 14863 | Uncle Peter,I said, as I stepped out in front of him suddenly,"please, Uncle Peter, wo n''t you come in and talk to me?" |
| 14863 | Want any good, smelly soap? |
| 14863 | We''ve no time for questions, Evelina, now-- go back to your tatting-- hey? |
| 14863 | Well, Sallie Carruthers will get him, and then there''ll be a dozen more to run the measure over-- children-- hey? 14863 Well, they brought on this nice companionable hunt for them, did n''t they?" |
| 14863 | Well, what_ are_ you going to do, Evelina? |
| 14863 | What did Dodson have to say-- is he coming across? |
| 14863 | What did he say? |
| 14863 | What do you mean? |
| 14863 | What do you suppose is the why of such useless things as slugs? |
| 14863 | What for did you all unpack outen the surrey, if you sawed the train go by? |
| 14863 | What is it? |
| 14863 | What makes it of advantage for a railroad to run through any given point in a rural community like this, Cousin James? |
| 14863 | What''s a lovely lady doing sitting all by herself in the gloaming? |
| 14863 | What''s the matter? |
| 14863 | Where are you and her going at,--fishing? |
| 14863 | Who''s Dodson? |
| 14863 | Why did n''t you go over and live in James''s hennery-- live with James-- hey? |
| 14863 | Why not tell him about it and ask him if he loves you? |
| 14863 | Why, Evelina Shelby, you darling thing, when did you come? |
| 14863 | Why, Henrietta, my own, can it be you who utter such cruel sentiments in my absence? |
| 14863 | Why, Henrietta, what is the matter? |
| 14863 | Why, Uncle Jasper, how did you know I was here? |
| 14863 | Will you come again, Uncle Peter? |
| 14863 | Will you go over and sit in that chair while I tell you something calmly, quietly, and seriously? 14863 Will you try?" |
| 14863 | Wire especially impassioned? |
| 14863 | Would any other arms do for the rocking? |
| 14863 | Yes, Henrietta, but you--"Ai n''t she whole all over and clean? |
| 14863 | You mean, do n''t you, Jamie, that you want to get Glendale past this place that is-- humiliating-- swimming with her head up? |
| 14863 | A lot of useless old live stock-- all but Sallie, and she''s worse-- worse, hey?" |
| 14863 | A woman like Sallie would not be content with producing less than a dozen of her kind-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Ai n''t that the understanding, Tuny?" |
| 14863 | Also, could the time ever come when a woman would n''t risk hanging over the ragged edge of Heaven to hold on to the hand of some man? |
| 14863 | And I--""Oh, Mrs. Shelby, is it-- is it smallpox?" |
| 14863 | And truly if the world is in the dusk of the dawn of a new day, what can men and women do but cling tight and feel their way-- together? |
| 14863 | And whom did she have sitting at her blue, embroidered linen elbow but Richard Hall himself? |
| 14863 | Are you coming? |
| 14863 | Are you sure that he is not a fit subject for your consideration in the matter of a choice for a mate? |
| 14863 | Be frank with Polk as to how much he asphyxiates me? |
| 14863 | Besides, why should a man want to take an independent, explosive, impudent firebrand with all sorts of dreadful plots in her mind to his heart? |
| 14863 | But I wonder what I would do if Sallie attired him in any of the late Henry''s wearing apparel? |
| 14863 | But suppose I do get Polk calmed down to a nice friendship after old Plato''s recipe, what if I want to marry him? |
| 14863 | But that is_ all_--and it does n''t sound revolutionary, does it, Jane? |
| 14863 | But why should n''t I? |
| 14863 | But, suppose I should lose all love for everybody in this queer quest for enlightenment I have undertaken? |
| 14863 | CHAPTER IV SWEETER WHEN TAMED? |
| 14863 | CHAPTER X TOGETHER? |
| 14863 | Can we turn and make good the fight-- or wo n''t we be torn to death? |
| 14863 | Can you come and git her loose for me?" |
| 14863 | Can you marry me in the morning so we can take the noon express from Bolivar? |
| 14863 | Could he be trifling with Jane? |
| 14863 | Could human nature have done better than that? |
| 14863 | Could such achievement be for me? |
| 14863 | Did you choose me wisely for these experiments, Jane? |
| 14863 | Do I want to marry a friend? |
| 14863 | Do all women feel about the Crag as I do? |
| 14863 | Do you not see it in that light?" |
| 14863 | Do you think we can make it?" |
| 14863 | Evelina?" |
| 14863 | Glad to have you home, child, good young blood to stir me up-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Go on and read it and do not disturb the workings of my brain while I wait for James-- workings of a great brain-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Great idea of mine and that Yankee girl''s-- great idea-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Has honeysuckle- garbed Old Harpeth been seeing things like this go on for centuries and not interrupted? |
| 14863 | Has n''t it been a lovely day?" |
| 14863 | Have I your permission to withdraw? |
| 14863 | Her helplessness is very beautiful and tender, but in a way tragic, do n''t you think?" |
| 14863 | How are you, Evelina, and are you crazy, Sallie Carruthers?" |
| 14863 | How can he help loving Sallie with her so emphatically there? |
| 14863 | How could you be so mistaken, as to both him and his personal appearance, as to apply such a name as Crag to him?" |
| 14863 | How could you have ever thought such a man as he is lacking in seriousness of purpose, dear?" |
| 14863 | How do I know that he has n''t had all sorts of cold, creepy feeling''s keeping him from proposing to Caroline? |
| 14863 | How does a man even know if a woman is--? |
| 14863 | How long is the torture to go on?" |
| 14863 | How old is this Mr. Hayes, on whom you have chosen to note the reactions of sisterly affection? |
| 14863 | How was I to know what was going on on the other side of the fan? |
| 14863 | I did n''t want Mr. Haley, but what if I had? |
| 14863 | I know Widegables is wide, but that is a houseful, is n''t it?" |
| 14863 | I see that, and I want to help-- but if I''m stupid about life, will you hold my hand in the dark?" |
| 14863 | I sometimes feel ashamed of the catastrophes I have to pray quick about, but what would I do if I could n''t? |
| 14863 | I wonder if men have as good times planning the culmination of their suits as I am having with mine? |
| 14863 | Is n''t it a glorious thing to realize that neither she nor I will have to sit and be tortured by waiting to see what those men are going to do? |
| 14863 | It would then be nip and tuck between you and Sallie which got James-- nip and tuck-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Jasper?" |
| 14863 | Joshua?" |
| 14863 | May I?" |
| 14863 | Might as well marry her-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Now will you promise to be happy?" |
| 14863 | Now, how did he know I called him the Crag in my heart? |
| 14863 | Now, what do you think of that, Jane? |
| 14863 | Now, will she?" |
| 14863 | Oh, may I go, Sallie? |
| 14863 | Piled rotten old business and big family on to James''s shoulders, and then died-- good time-- hey? |
| 14863 | Polk?" |
| 14863 | Poor James-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Poor tot, she does have a hard and hardening time-- and how can I lecture her for swearing? |
| 14863 | SWEETER WHEN TAMED? |
| 14863 | Shall I double and take refuge in a labyrinth of subterfuge or turn and fight? |
| 14863 | Shall I give you some sort of written agreement?" |
| 14863 | Surely he would n''t refuse me, but how do I know for sure? |
| 14863 | TOGETHER? |
| 14863 | Ten babies, twenty babies if necessary-- hey?" |
| 14863 | The commanding, black old man, and the happy- faced, plump, little yellow woman, had saved one situation-- and forced another, perhaps? |
| 14863 | Uncle Peter?" |
| 14863 | What about that? |
| 14863 | What could any woman want more than her work and a man like that? |
| 14863 | What do you think?" |
| 14863 | What do you want to fool with Evelina this time of day for anyway?" |
| 14863 | What is it?" |
| 14863 | Where''d you get that Yankee school- marm-- hey? |
| 14863 | While you are in the drug store, if you have time, wo n''t you please select me a new tooth- brush and some nice kind of paste that you think is good? |
| 14863 | Why do n''t she get a husband and a baby and settle down? |
| 14863 | Why should n''t I tell Jane what I really thought of Cousin James and discuss him broadly and frankly? |
| 14863 | Why should n''t I want to eat by myself? |
| 14863 | Will you believe me?" |
| 14863 | Will you give me a hearing?" |
| 14863 | Women are all fools,--hey?" |
| 14863 | Women with no brains-- but all heart-- all heart-- hey?" |
| 14863 | Yes, why ca n''t I love Polk as I love you, Jane, and have him enjoy it? |
| 14863 | Yes, why? |
| 14863 | You are not being tempted to shirk any of your duties of womanhood because of your interest in your art, are you? |
| 14863 | You had heard of my loss?" |
| 14863 | You see, Evelina? |
| 14863 | [ Illustration:"Is this right?" |
| 14863 | he asked]"Is this right?" |
| 38551 | And Miss Elder''s, was n''t it? |
| 38551 | And do you care-- so much-- Viva? |
| 38551 | And how far does that go? |
| 38551 | And self- supporting? |
| 38551 | And that I ca n''t ever get it back-- shall have to do clerk''s work at a clerk''s salary-- as long as I live? |
| 38551 | And what is it? |
| 38551 | And what''s her future if somebody do n''t help her? |
| 38551 | And will you punish me-- so cruelly-- for that? 38551 And you''ll help me?" |
| 38551 | And you? |
| 38551 | Are n''t you coming in to see me-- ever? |
| 38551 | Are n''t you over twenty- one? |
| 38551 | Are you engaged or are you not, you dear old thing? |
| 38551 | Are you going to scold me about something? 38551 Are you in any pain, Grandma?" |
| 38551 | Boys are apt to be mischievous, are n''t they? |
| 38551 | But Morton-- what are you going to do?--Won''t it spoil your career? |
| 38551 | But do you-- get anywhere with it? 38551 But suppose you do n''t marry?" |
| 38551 | But who is Morton Elder, and what has he done? |
| 38551 | But why, Vivian, why? 38551 But, Grandma-- is it--_can_ it be as bad as she said? |
| 38551 | By George, fellows,he said,"you know how nice Doc was last night?" |
| 38551 | Ca n''t you wait a bit and go home with me? |
| 38551 | Can she cook? |
| 38551 | Can you prove that? |
| 38551 | Charmed to find you at home, Ma''am,he said;"or shall I say at office?" |
| 38551 | Come on, take a walk with me-- won''t you? |
| 38551 | Could n''t he-- write to me-- as a friend? |
| 38551 | Dick,she said,"are you going to stand for this?" |
| 38551 | Did n''t you know I meant to have a sort of kindergarten? 38551 Did she misunderstand the invitation as bad as that?" |
| 38551 | Did you bring a trunk, Grandma? |
| 38551 | Did you swear to keep your oath secret? |
| 38551 | Do n''t you want some, Susie? 38551 Do n''t you want some?" |
| 38551 | Do what? |
| 38551 | Do you blame me, Grandma? |
| 38551 | Do you like it-- that kind of work? |
| 38551 | Do you think he cares for her, still? |
| 38551 | Do you want to be a doctor, like Jane Bellair? |
| 38551 | Does duty to parents alter the temperature? |
| 38551 | Does parental duty cease? 38551 Done what? |
| 38551 | Especially in a co- educational town-- don''t you think so? |
| 38551 | Ever think about them? |
| 38551 | Fine boy-- eh? 38551 For whom?" |
| 38551 | Has he had losses? |
| 38551 | Has he kissed you yet? |
| 38551 | Has that damned doctor been giving me away? |
| 38551 | Have you anything definite to tell me-- anything that you could_ prove_?--if it were necessary to save her? |
| 38551 | Have you had supper? 38551 Have you heard that I''ve lost all my money?" |
| 38551 | He does not look well,said the lady,"you are old friends-- do tell me; if it is anything wherein a woman''s sympathy would be of service?" |
| 38551 | He writes to his aunt, of course? |
| 38551 | How can I be your friend if I do n''t know the facts? 38551 How did you ever learn to arrange things so well?" |
| 38551 | How do you find friends enough to give them to? |
| 38551 | How do you know he-- wishes to marry her? |
| 38551 | How does that go, Vivian? 38551 How long?" |
| 38551 | How old is he? |
| 38551 | How on earth have you managed not to be recognized? |
| 38551 | How''d you learn the facts, my son? 38551 How''s he getting on? |
| 38551 | How, Grandma? |
| 38551 | I hope you count me a friend? |
| 38551 | I like her-- tremendously, do n''t you? |
| 38551 | I suppose you mean travelling-- and selling goods? |
| 38551 | I suppose you''ve heard about Morton Elder? |
| 38551 | I''d like to help her and the boy, but would it-- look well? 38551 I-- excuse me; but I thought----""You thought I could n''t conveniently pay it?" |
| 38551 | Interested in philosophy, Miss Lane? |
| 38551 | Is Dr. Hale out there, or Vivian? |
| 38551 | Is a daughter always a child if she lives at home? |
| 38551 | Is he, Grandma? 38551 Is she a safe person to have in the house?" |
| 38551 | Is there any deficiency, mental or physical, about a man, to prevent his attempting this abstruse art? |
| 38551 | It''s rather a good joke on Hale, is n''t it? |
| 38551 | Life wears on you, I''m afraid, my dear.... Do you ever hear from him? |
| 38551 | Look here, Elmer Skee,she said suddenly,"how much money have you really got?" |
| 38551 | Lost a fourth? 38551 May I have the pleasure of this dance?" |
| 38551 | Mine was promised yesterday, was it not, Miss Lane? |
| 38551 | Morton has,Vivian explained,"and he wo n''t let Aunt Rella-- why where is she?" |
| 38551 | My dear young lady, you are not reading books of which your parents disapprove, I hope? |
| 38551 | Nice people, then-- how''s that? |
| 38551 | Nice world, is n''t it? |
| 38551 | Not feeling well, Mr. Lane? 38551 Not if he had smallpox, or scarlet fever, or the bubonic plague? |
| 38551 | Not sure you can? 38551 Now Vivian, are you down on me too? |
| 38551 | Now then-- What is wrong between us? |
| 38551 | Oh, say-- come in after supper, ca n''t you? 38551 Oh,_ why_, Ma''am? |
| 38551 | Oh-- I? 38551 Oh-- me? |
| 38551 | One of these happy family reunions, ma''am? |
| 38551 | Pardon me,said the reverend gentleman to Mrs. Pettigrew,"did you speak?" |
| 38551 | Should n''t I-- ever? |
| 38551 | Skee, did you say? |
| 38551 | Some parents_ are_ pretty graspin'', ai n''t they? 38551 Some sort of a fandango going on?" |
| 38551 | Stand for what, my esteemed but cryptic fellow- practitioner? |
| 38551 | Suppose I do n''t want to marry? |
| 38551 | Susie-- crying? |
| 38551 | Tea? 38551 That is a most fascinating young lady who has Mr. Dykeman''s room; do n''t you think so, ma''am?" |
| 38551 | That man Skee? |
| 38551 | That pretty little thing with the grass and flowers round it? |
| 38551 | That was why you-- left him? |
| 38551 | That''s a good scheme of Jane Bellair''s, do n''t you think so? |
| 38551 | Then you haven''t-- done it? |
| 38551 | There is no other man? |
| 38551 | There''s no reason we should n''t enjoy ourselves, Susie, of course, but are n''t you-- rather hard on them? |
| 38551 | They say you-- went to the city-- with a lot of the worst boys in college----"Well? 38551 This is your Western chivalry, is it?" |
| 38551 | Want me? |
| 38551 | Ward? 38551 Well, child, have you never in all your little life been kissed before?" |
| 38551 | Well, is this my house, or Coney Island? |
| 38551 | Well-- he can buy another, there are more, are n''t there? |
| 38551 | What am I doing? |
| 38551 | What are the difficulties? |
| 38551 | What are they to do? 38551 What are you doing here, Vivian?" |
| 38551 | What business is it of mine? |
| 38551 | What did they say? |
| 38551 | What do you call''a good business?'' |
| 38551 | What do you mean-- having the Doctor in the house? |
| 38551 | What do you say he''s really done? |
| 38551 | What do you think Mort Elder''s been doing now? |
| 38551 | What do you want to do? |
| 38551 | What have you done? |
| 38551 | What have you got to look forward to, Rella? |
| 38551 | What is her present? |
| 38551 | What is it? |
| 38551 | What is so noble as the soul of woman? 38551 What is the matter, Vivian-- are you ill?" |
| 38551 | What makes you think he wants to? |
| 38551 | What was it? |
| 38551 | What woman upset him? |
| 38551 | What''d she give up for? |
| 38551 | What''ll we be doing when we''re forty, I wonder? |
| 38551 | What''s all this rumpus? |
| 38551 | What''s the boy''s name? |
| 38551 | What''s up, anyhow? |
| 38551 | What''s up? |
| 38551 | Where are you going? |
| 38551 | Where did you get it, Dr. Hale? 38551 Where''d you get this idea anyhow?" |
| 38551 | Where''s Mrs. Jones all this time? |
| 38551 | Where''s that last letter of Morton''s? |
| 38551 | Which I judge you do not wish to be known? |
| 38551 | Who are? |
| 38551 | Who did it? |
| 38551 | Who''s got a sore throat? |
| 38551 | Why do n''t she keep an eating- house still? |
| 38551 | Why do n''t you have one yourself, Johnny? |
| 38551 | Why do you object to him, Jeanne? |
| 38551 | Why not? |
| 38551 | Why not? |
| 38551 | Why not? |
| 38551 | Why not? |
| 38551 | Why should n''t I have a good time? |
| 38551 | Why waste a thirteenth trump on your partner''s thirteenth card? |
| 38551 | Why, Morton,she said;"is that you? |
| 38551 | Why? |
| 38551 | Will they understand it if they are idiots? 38551 Will you not invite it to return?" |
| 38551 | Will you tell that to your crippled children? |
| 38551 | Wo n''t you be seated? |
| 38551 | Wo n''t you get cold? |
| 38551 | Wo n''t you speak to me-- Viva? |
| 38551 | Would n''t it-- interfere with my teaching later? |
| 38551 | Would n''t what, Girlie? 38551 Would you marry a man not young, not clever, not rich, but who loved you dearly? |
| 38551 | Would you marry a poor man? |
| 38551 | Yes; but how can you prove it on him? |
| 38551 | You are going to college, I suppose? |
| 38551 | You certainly know how, Dr. Hale,said Miss Orella;"I particularly admire these beds-- with the sheets buttoned down, German fashion, is n''t it? |
| 38551 | You folks are so strong on duty,the doctor was saying,"Why ca n''t you see a real duty in this? |
| 38551 | You have n''t repudiated Dr. Bellair, have you? |
| 38551 | You know how a year or more ago it was put about in this town that Andrew Dykeman was a ruined man? |
| 38551 | You love children, do n''t you, Vivian? |
| 38551 | You think he has-- That? |
| 38551 | You''ll do, all right, wo n''t you Theophile,he said, and offered him a shining nickel and a lozenge,"Which will you have, old man?" |
| 38551 | You''re not sick, are you? |
| 38551 | Your school? |
| 38551 | ''11:30? |
| 38551 | ''Why do n''t you come back? |
| 38551 | A little sombre, is n''t it? |
| 38551 | ACHIEVEMENTS 283_ Who should know but the woman?--The young wife- to- be? |
| 38551 | Ai nt there some among your patients who could be stirred up a little?" |
| 38551 | And Vivian-- don''t suppose I dare call you Vivian now, Miss Lane?" |
| 38551 | And Vivian? |
| 38551 | And if she must"--he looked at Vivian, and went on somewhat lamely--"dance, why not dance with me? |
| 38551 | And in the case of a motherless boy like this-- lonely, away from his home, no good woman''s influence about-- what else could we expect? |
| 38551 | And knit?" |
| 38551 | And the beautiful music club we had one Winter-- and my little private dancing class-- do you remember that? |
| 38551 | And you love me a little-- don''t you?" |
| 38551 | Any other gentleman like to make remarks on this topic?" |
| 38551 | Anything worth doing?" |
| 38551 | Are n''t you coming in?" |
| 38551 | Are n''t you ready to begin that little school of yours?" |
| 38551 | Are you going to sit still and let that dangerous patient of yours marry the finest girl in town?" |
| 38551 | Are you happy in it?" |
| 38551 | Are you not yet a child in your father''s house?" |
| 38551 | Bellair?" |
| 38551 | Bellair?" |
| 38551 | But I thought awhile back that I had n''t any chance-- you were n''t jealous of that Artificial Fairy, were you?" |
| 38551 | But Viva,"--his hand pressed closer--"is it only-- friends?" |
| 38551 | But have we no faults? |
| 38551 | But he fell desperately in love with that beautiful Mrs. James-- don''t you remember about her? |
| 38551 | But she heard again Dr. Bellair''s clear low accusing voice--"Will you tell that to your crippled children?" |
| 38551 | But why did he change?" |
| 38551 | But-- was it womanly to go there-- for that? |
| 38551 | Ca n''t we be-- friends?" |
| 38551 | Ca n''t you do that''Kerry Dance''of Molloy''s, and''Twickenham Ferry''--and''Lauriger Horatius?''" |
| 38551 | Ca n''t you reconsider?" |
| 38551 | Ca n''t you see''em, upside down on the bath apron, grabbing at things, perfectly happy, but prepared to howl when it comes to dressing? |
| 38551 | Ca n''t you-- can''t we-- do something to-- stop this awfulness?" |
| 38551 | Can it be had here?" |
| 38551 | Cloud? |
| 38551 | Could she be the help and stimulus he seemed to think? |
| 38551 | Did n''t you know it before?" |
| 38551 | Do I look like it?" |
| 38551 | Do you imagine that all these fifteen men are going to propose to you?" |
| 38551 | Do you mean to let Morton Elder marry Vivian Lane?" |
| 38551 | Do you mean to let a man whom you know has no right to marry, poison the life of that splendid girl?" |
| 38551 | Do you think I_ could_ count on them-- really?" |
| 38551 | Do you want a son like Theophile?" |
| 38551 | Do you want to grow up like the rest of the useless single women in this little social cemetery?" |
| 38551 | Do_ you_ think she would? |
| 38551 | Dr. Ward of the_ Centurion_?" |
| 38551 | Dykeman?" |
| 38551 | Elder?" |
| 38551 | Hale?" |
| 38551 | Hale?" |
| 38551 | Have I done anything wrong?" |
| 38551 | Have I done anything you do n''t like?" |
| 38551 | Have a toothache and not_ mention_ it? |
| 38551 | He consulted her also about Vivian-- did she not think the girl looked worn and ill? |
| 38551 | He did not even say,"When will you marry me?" |
| 38551 | He did not say again,"Will you marry me?" |
| 38551 | He had said this, he had looked that, he had done so; and what did Vivian think he meant? |
| 38551 | He says he''s working on a book-- some big medical book, I suppose; but what''s the hurry? |
| 38551 | He whitened to the lips, but asked quietly,"Why?" |
| 38551 | House room?" |
| 38551 | How can a fellow say why?" |
| 38551 | How do you know? |
| 38551 | How many could you handle?" |
| 38551 | How much did he mean by asking her to help him? |
| 38551 | How''s that dear baby getting on?" |
| 38551 | I do n''t suppose you could give an absolute opinion now, could you?" |
| 38551 | I wonder what did happen to him?" |
| 38551 | If she had had a daughter would she not have thanked anyone who would try to save her from such a danger? |
| 38551 | If some say"Innocence is the greatest charm of young girls,"the answer is,"What good does it do them?" |
| 38551 | In the same business he was last year?" |
| 38551 | Is it somebody''s birthday?" |
| 38551 | Is it the swelled kind, or the kind that smarts?" |
| 38551 | Is not that it?" |
| 38551 | Is she a plain cook or a handsome one?" |
| 38551 | Is that jacket for me, by any chance? |
| 38551 | Is there any outlook for you? |
| 38551 | Just because a man''s lost his money? |
| 38551 | Little soft cheeks against yours, little soft mouths and little soft kisses,--ever think of them?" |
| 38551 | May I have the pleasure, Miss Lane?" |
| 38551 | May I speak for a little? |
| 38551 | Now, Orella Elder, why do n''t you wake up and seize the opportunity?" |
| 38551 | Now, why do n''t you give up your unnatural attempt to be a doctor and assume woman''s proper sphere? |
| 38551 | O-- and please-- I have n''t a bit of change left in my purse-- will you pay the man?" |
| 38551 | Once more, Dick, shall you do anything?" |
| 38551 | Or for that matter, what do any boys''fathers and mothers know? |
| 38551 | Pettigrew?" |
| 38551 | Say-- are you coming to the club to- morrow night?" |
| 38551 | She wo n''t miss me a mite-- will you Grandma?" |
| 38551 | Sue Elder, I wish----""Wish what?" |
| 38551 | Suppose a patient of yours had the leprosy, and wanted to marry your sister, would you betray his confidence?" |
| 38551 | Tell me, ought not there to be more-- more love? |
| 38551 | Then he came forward, calmly inquiring,"Why have n''t you sent me my board bill?" |
| 38551 | This flat, narrow life, so long, so endlessly long-- would nothing ever end it? |
| 38551 | This is good- bye-- You wo n''t change your mind-- again?" |
| 38551 | To live to hear him say:"''Ah, who am I that God should bow From heaven to choose a wife for me? |
| 38551 | Well, shall we be going back? |
| 38551 | What are you sitting up for? |
| 38551 | What can be the reason? |
| 38551 | What did Rella know? |
| 38551 | What do they say I did?" |
| 38551 | What do you say, Miss Lane?" |
| 38551 | What do you want to do, Vivian?" |
| 38551 | What does a boy know?... |
| 38551 | What else?" |
| 38551 | What have I done He should endow My home with thee?''" |
| 38551 | What have I done-- that I have not told you?" |
| 38551 | What have you got here you so hate to leave, Rella?" |
| 38551 | What made you do that?" |
| 38551 | What''s all this mysterious talk anyhow? |
| 38551 | What''s lackin''? |
| 38551 | Whatever was the matter? |
| 38551 | When Mrs. Pettigrew could talk, she demanded suddenly of the minister,"Have you read Campbell''s New Theology?" |
| 38551 | When did you come? |
| 38551 | Where did you learn first aid to the injured, and how to handle-- persons of limited understanding?" |
| 38551 | Where?" |
| 38551 | Which would you recommend, Ma''am?" |
| 38551 | Whose whole life hangs on the choice; To her the ruin, the misery; To her, the deciding voice.__ Who should know but the woman?--The mother- to- be? |
| 38551 | Why did n''t you let us know? |
| 38551 | Will it satisfy you when they are dead?" |
| 38551 | Will they see it if they are blind? |
| 38551 | Will you forgive me, Orella?" |
| 38551 | With whom?" |
| 38551 | Wo n''t it be fun, Viva?" |
| 38551 | Wo n''t you go on, please? |
| 38551 | Would n''t go away? |
| 38551 | Would n''t it be a good thing to send her off for a trip somewhere? |
| 38551 | You are the sweetest woman I ever saw, Orella Elder-- will you marry me?" |
| 38551 | You ca n''t make it earlier? |
| 38551 | You do n''t compare them to canned pears, do you?" |
| 38551 | You do n''t mind my noticing, do you?" |
| 38551 | You never would have done it_ if_ you''d known-- would you? |
| 38551 | You remember Dr. Black''s lectures? |
| 38551 | You will marry me, wo n''t you? |
| 38551 | You''ve seen that little building going up on the corner of High and Stone Streets?" |
| 38551 | and the other a fascinatingly impossible Possibility of a sort which allows the even more complacent"Did n''t you? |
| 38551 | cried his aunt, bustling in with deep concern in her voice,"What''s this I hear about you''re having a sore throat?" |
| 38551 | dear girl, do n''t you see that''s wicked?" |
| 38551 | she said,"Have n''t we always been friends, the best of friends?" |
| 3722 | ''Disgraced?'' |
| 3722 | ''Mean?'' |
| 3722 | A horse and carriage? |
| 3722 | About what do you want to pay, Mother? |
| 3722 | Adam, is there any such hurry? |
| 3722 | Afraid? 3722 After stealing my plan, and getting my land for nothing, you''d throw me out entirely?" |
| 3722 | Agatha, will you sell me your telescope for what you paid for it, and get yourself a new one the next time you go to Hartley? 3722 Ai n''t I been tellin''you the whole endurin''time that you''d never get a call unless you practised manners as well as medicine? |
| 3722 | All of them? 3722 And I do n''t doubt that now, even now, she is in the kitchen-- how would she put it?" |
| 3722 | And Oh, yes, Robert, will it be all right with you if I stay here and keep house for Adam until he and Milly can be married and move in? 3722 And about the school?" |
| 3722 | And even at that,said Nancy Ellen,"he has n''t just come out right square and said''Kate, will you marry me?'' |
| 3722 | And had n''t I better have ALL of them, and put some little thing from you on the tree for them? 3722 And how long will it be, my dear,"said Agatha to Kate,"before you enter connubial bliss?" |
| 3722 | And how much do the girls get? |
| 3722 | And if it would work, did you figure the cost of a dam into your estimate of the building and machinery? |
| 3722 | And left your son and your little daughter to them? |
| 3722 | And throw our school out of a teacher? 3722 And what ARE your ambitions?" |
| 3722 | And what is''the other thing?'' |
| 3722 | And where did my father come in? |
| 3722 | And you? |
| 3722 | Anything else? |
| 3722 | Are they really trying to get her? |
| 3722 | Are you all right, Mother? |
| 3722 | Are you going to scold me? |
| 3722 | Are you in earnest? |
| 3722 | Are you so anxious as all this about Little Poll''s teeth? |
| 3722 | Are you sure that Jennie Weeks is taking good care of you? |
| 3722 | Are you surprised to see me? |
| 3722 | As bad as THAT? |
| 3722 | Been to the cemetery? |
| 3722 | Believed what? |
| 3722 | Better than what? |
| 3722 | But are you making that offer when you ca n''t help seeing that I''m in deep trouble? |
| 3722 | But do n''t you think you are rather limiting man, when you narrow him to four primal instincts? |
| 3722 | But do n''t you want to see them, Kate? 3722 But have n''t I been an example for six weeks? |
| 3722 | But have you heard that Nancy Ellen has started? |
| 3722 | But honestly, George, what have I ever seen of you in the way of financial success in the past that would give me hope for the future? |
| 3722 | But how could you have? |
| 3722 | But how many times must he come, and how much interest must he evince? |
| 3722 | But how? |
| 3722 | But if I did it, and Father got as mad as he was last night and tore up your father''s deed, then where would I be? |
| 3722 | But if you want land personally, why did n''t you work to get it for yourself? |
| 3722 | But what DID you do? |
| 3722 | But what do you THINK about it? |
| 3722 | But what was the rumpus? 3722 But what was the use?" |
| 3722 | But who said anything about''going back on Polly?'' |
| 3722 | But why do you suppose that he did it? |
| 3722 | But why drag me in? |
| 3722 | But why should I wish to shock you? 3722 But you WON''T if I ask you not to?" |
| 3722 | But you think there is something in it? |
| 3722 | But you would want to wait a little and join with Milly, would n''t you? |
| 3722 | But, Ma, if a cyclone blew away your worst enemy would n''t it be nice? |
| 3722 | By George, Georgie, my boy,he said,"most days will be cold, wo n''t they?" |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you drink it? |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you see that I am ruined if he dies on this table? |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you tell when any one is teasing? 3722 Came after me?" |
| 3722 | Can Aunt Josie and Aunt Mary keep from fighting across the grave? |
| 3722 | Can anything happen to them? |
| 3722 | Can they? |
| 3722 | Can you read it clearly, without your glasses? |
| 3722 | Can you see Nancy Ellen? |
| 3722 | Chance for what? |
| 3722 | Dare you go back home when school is over? |
| 3722 | Did Father shut the sluice- gate, to hear the roar? |
| 3722 | Did Nancy Ellen just leave your house? |
| 3722 | Did it ever occur to you that you could do better by being honest? |
| 3722 | Did n''t he tell you? |
| 3722 | Did n''t you hear him exulting because you are now free? |
| 3722 | Did n''t you kind of hate to give it up? |
| 3722 | Did she remember to call on the Squire? |
| 3722 | Did you contract for another school? |
| 3722 | Did you deliver the invitation by force? |
| 3722 | Did you ever see her, Mother? |
| 3722 | Did you find one in a good neighbourhood? |
| 3722 | Did you hear unusual sounds when John came to bid me good- night? |
| 3722 | Did you look if she had taken it? |
| 3722 | Did you see her? |
| 3722 | Did you see who came? |
| 3722 | Did your deed for this place go, too? |
| 3722 | Did your father give them the house? |
| 3722 | Do I get the buggy? |
| 3722 | Do I look killed? |
| 3722 | Do it? |
| 3722 | Do n''t you like it? |
| 3722 | Do n''t you think you''re presuming? |
| 3722 | Do n''t you want to see and hear him? |
| 3722 | Do you keep up the taxes? |
| 3722 | Do you know it''s almost three o''clock? |
| 3722 | Do you know of any place you would like? |
| 3722 | Do you know what I should do about this? |
| 3722 | Do you know what you are doing? |
| 3722 | Do you know who it is, Mother? |
| 3722 | Do you mean that? |
| 3722 | Do you mean to say if he asks you--? |
| 3722 | Do you mind telling me how the boys and girls feel about this? |
| 3722 | Do you really think that they think you could, Adam? |
| 3722 | Do you see anything about it to ENCOURAGE me to go farther? |
| 3722 | Do you suppose there is such a thing as ever making anything out of this? |
| 3722 | Do you think--? |
| 3722 | Does it show on me like that? |
| 3722 | Does n''t it beat the band? |
| 3722 | Does she know I''m here? |
| 3722 | Even if my father burned with them? |
| 3722 | Everybody knows it but you, do n''t they, Polly? |
| 3722 | Exactly what do you know? |
| 3722 | FROM a prairie fire, or TO a carcass? |
| 3722 | Father--? |
| 3722 | For example--? |
| 3722 | For mercy sake, what IS the matter with you? |
| 3722 | For what? |
| 3722 | Glad, Katie? |
| 3722 | Had any time to THINK? |
| 3722 | Has he eloped with the widder? |
| 3722 | Have n''t You any mercy at all? 3722 Have n''t you a thin black dress, Mother?" |
| 3722 | Have n''t you lived in the same house with me long enough to know me better than any one else does? |
| 3722 | Have to upset the bowl, as usual? |
| 3722 | Have you got the information necessary for a license? |
| 3722 | Have you had a lawyer? |
| 3722 | Have you had any dinner? |
| 3722 | Have you made any plans about the farm work for this year yet? |
| 3722 | Have you told him--? |
| 3722 | Heart, eh? |
| 3722 | Honest to God? |
| 3722 | How about that, Adam? |
| 3722 | How about you, Adam? |
| 3722 | How are you going to apply your philosophy to yourself? |
| 3722 | How did you recognize him? |
| 3722 | How do you feel about it? |
| 3722 | How do you like her? |
| 3722 | How long will it take? |
| 3722 | How many boys are there in your family? |
| 3722 | How of all the world was I to know that you''d grow up and go in for doctorin''? 3722 How so?" |
| 3722 | How was your concert, my dear? |
| 3722 | How will you see to it, Polly? |
| 3722 | How would you feel if you was served the same way? |
| 3722 | How would you go about proving it, Kate? |
| 3722 | I must earn the money, but ca n''t you help me think how? |
| 3722 | I shall have no quarrel with the paint here, and will you look at that? |
| 3722 | I''m a teacher; how do I come to be dining with you? |
| 3722 | If he has no more respect for me than to write me such an insult as that, why should I have the respect for him to protect him in it? 3722 If she comes, are you going to try it?" |
| 3722 | If she''s a teacher, how does she come to be serving us? |
| 3722 | If they do, then may we have her? |
| 3722 | If you are speaking to me, will you kindly tell me to whom you refer, and give me the message you bring? |
| 3722 | If you feel that way about it, why do you leave me? |
| 3722 | If you know the young lady, Mother,he said,"why do n''t you introduce us?" |
| 3722 | In what way? |
| 3722 | Including how many terms I''d gone to school? |
| 3722 | Is Kate gone? 3722 Is Mother--?" |
| 3722 | Is he coming? |
| 3722 | Is it because she''s a twin? |
| 3722 | Is it one more for Kate? |
| 3722 | Is n''t life the most amusing thing? |
| 3722 | Is n''t she a wonder? 3722 Is the dam gone?" |
| 3722 | Is this thing in the morning paper true? |
| 3722 | It''s Polly? |
| 3722 | John Jardine, what in the world are you doing here? |
| 3722 | Kate, how are you going to get all that land sold, and the money in hand to divide up that quickly? 3722 Kate, what are you going to do?" |
| 3722 | Kate, you have n''t still got that letter in your mind, have you? |
| 3722 | Kate, you like my mother, do n''t you? |
| 3722 | Kate,he said suddenly,"if you were in my shoes, what would you do?" |
| 3722 | Kate? |
| 3722 | May I tell them I held the lamp while Adam got you out of the water? |
| 3722 | May I? |
| 3722 | Mind your own business, will you? |
| 3722 | Mother, how do you feel about Uncle Robert marrying again? |
| 3722 | Mother, what is the trouble? |
| 3722 | Mother, what is this? |
| 3722 | Mother, what will the other children say? |
| 3722 | Mother,said Kate gently,"have n''t YOU changed, yourself, about things like Christmas, for example? |
| 3722 | Mother,she said,"here alone, and between us, if I promise never to tell a living soul, will you tell me the truth about that deed business?" |
| 3722 | Must I always have''a fly in my ointment''? |
| 3722 | My dear, you do n''t MEAN that? 3722 Nancy Ellen, wo n''t you stay to supper with us?" |
| 3722 | Not even a guess? |
| 3722 | Not much of a haggler, are you, Katie? |
| 3722 | Not to entertain me, but because I am interested, my dear, will you tell me about your particular sunbonnet? |
| 3722 | Now what shall we do? |
| 3722 | Now? 3722 Of course I will, Mother, but my children, wo n''t they worry you?" |
| 3722 | Oh must I? 3722 Oh, George, how could you ever hope to do anything for a man in this shape, with MUSCULAR treatment?" |
| 3722 | Oh, Kate, what did you do? |
| 3722 | Oh, do n''t you? |
| 3722 | Remember-- one particular thing-- you mean? |
| 3722 | Right at dinner time on Sunday? 3722 Satisfy?" |
| 3722 | Scenting another scandal, are you? 3722 Shall I, Mother?" |
| 3722 | She still loves pretty clothing so well? |
| 3722 | Should n''t he have stayed and faced it? |
| 3722 | Should n''t you be in here helping Aunt Ollie? |
| 3722 | So? |
| 3722 | So? |
| 3722 | Spying? |
| 3722 | That must have been the year I figured out the improved coupling pin in the C. N. W. shops, would n''t you think, Mother? |
| 3722 | That new doctor at Hartley? 3722 Then WHY did you say that to me?" |
| 3722 | Then what are you here for? |
| 3722 | Then what is it? 3722 Then why do n''t you practice it?" |
| 3722 | Then why take the way of all the world to start, and KEEP people talking? |
| 3722 | Then you turn the whole thing down? 3722 Then you will do it?" |
| 3722 | Then,said Kate,"will you build a bridge across the ravine to reach it, or will you buy a strip from Linn and build a road?" |
| 3722 | Think you can keep a thing like that still? 3722 This is the kind of man you are? |
| 3722 | Those deeds are burned? |
| 3722 | To pay for having been born last? 3722 Truly?" |
| 3722 | Was n''t Adam at home? |
| 3722 | Was n''t everything all right? |
| 3722 | Was n''t that a pretty nice room? |
| 3722 | Was she sick? 3722 Was that a concert?" |
| 3722 | Was your train in a wreck? 3722 We just loved doing it, did n''t we, Little Poll? |
| 3722 | Well, are n''t you? |
| 3722 | Well, if you married me knowing it, what are you going to do about it? |
| 3722 | Well, then, you wo n''t be offended, will you, if I ask you to remain with me and take care of me until John comes? 3722 Well, what did she seem to think about it?" |
| 3722 | Well, what do I care? |
| 3722 | Well, what do you think of that? |
| 3722 | Well, what the nation are you going to Adam''s at this time a- Sunday for? |
| 3722 | Well, what would you think of you and George taking the land, working it on the shares, and letting me have this room, an''live in Walden, awhile? |
| 3722 | Well, what''s the matter with me? |
| 3722 | Well, why do n''t you go ahead? |
| 3722 | Well,said Kate,"would you want to go to the expense of setting up a furnace in the cellar? |
| 3722 | What about her? |
| 3722 | What about my chance? |
| 3722 | What about my heart and my pride? 3722 What could I do?" |
| 3722 | What did you bring Agatha''s telescope back with you for? |
| 3722 | What did you do? |
| 3722 | What did you stick them gew- gaws onto my dress for? |
| 3722 | What did you think of her looks? |
| 3722 | What did you think? |
| 3722 | What do I care? |
| 3722 | What do you know about what I''ve gone though? |
| 3722 | What do you mean? |
| 3722 | What do you think of that, Mother? 3722 What do you want of me?" |
| 3722 | What does the man mean? 3722 What for? |
| 3722 | What for? |
| 3722 | What for? |
| 3722 | What in the world is the matter? |
| 3722 | What is better? |
| 3722 | What is it? |
| 3722 | What is your name? |
| 3722 | What of Nancy Ellen''s did you take? |
| 3722 | What on earth would I do with myself, with my time, with my life? |
| 3722 | What shall you do? |
| 3722 | What was he worth, anyway? |
| 3722 | What will be to pay now? |
| 3722 | What will the neighbours say? |
| 3722 | What will you do? |
| 3722 | What''s biting you now? |
| 3722 | What''s that? |
| 3722 | What''s the difference? |
| 3722 | What''s the matter? |
| 3722 | What''s the trouble? |
| 3722 | What''s your hurry? 3722 What? |
| 3722 | What? 3722 What?" |
| 3722 | What? |
| 3722 | What? |
| 3722 | Whatever can it be? |
| 3722 | When are you to see him again? |
| 3722 | When did it happen? 3722 When did we become so wealthy? |
| 3722 | When did you meet Mr. Gray, Katherine? |
| 3722 | When did you sign this contract? |
| 3722 | Where did you get a school? 3722 Where is George?" |
| 3722 | Where is he? |
| 3722 | Where on earth did you find him? |
| 3722 | Where would you advise me to go? |
| 3722 | Where''s Adam? |
| 3722 | Where? |
| 3722 | Which would result in the deeds being recorded to- morrow and spoiling our trip to- day, and what good would it do you? |
| 3722 | Who came after you? |
| 3722 | Who can get anywhere, splitting everything in halves? |
| 3722 | Who figured out what WAS a fair share for the girls; who planned that arrangement? 3722 Who is he?" |
| 3722 | Who is it? |
| 3722 | Who? 3722 Why are you weeping?" |
| 3722 | Why did n''t he send for you, or do something? |
| 3722 | Why did n''t you get some gloves? 3722 Why did n''t you let me go with you?" |
| 3722 | Why did n''t you tell me you wanted to go, and let me get out the car? |
| 3722 | Why did n''t you think of that before you got married? 3722 Why did n''t you wait until you got home and talked it over with us?" |
| 3722 | Why did you come? 3722 Why do n''t you ask me what''s the matter?" |
| 3722 | Why do you smile, my dear? |
| 3722 | Why do you want to hear him so much? |
| 3722 | Why is joy coming to Nancy Ellen? |
| 3722 | Why not? |
| 3722 | Why not? |
| 3722 | Why should I begin now? 3722 Why under the Heavens did n''t you tell me? |
| 3722 | Why, Adam, how did you know the place? |
| 3722 | Why, Mother, what is the matter? |
| 3722 | Why, did n''t they tell you that Father has signed up for the home school for you? |
| 3722 | Why, have you been sick? |
| 3722 | Why? |
| 3722 | Why? |
| 3722 | Will you please come in? |
| 3722 | Will you please see if there are any letters for me? |
| 3722 | Will you share the sofa with me? |
| 3722 | Wo n''t you please enlighten us concerning your travels, Katherine? |
| 3722 | Would Agatha use such a common word as''little''? |
| 3722 | Would I be any crazier than you, when you wanted to go? |
| 3722 | Would it make any great difference to you if you missed a few days? |
| 3722 | Would n''t go North, or would n''t see what every other living soul in Hartley sees? |
| 3722 | Would you consent for me to go? |
| 3722 | Would you have any deeply rooted objections to marrying me at six o''clock this evening? |
| 3722 | Would you like us better if we were? |
| 3722 | Would you? 3722 Yes, are n''t I?" |
| 3722 | Yes, strong enough for conditions in September, but what about the January freshet? |
| 3722 | Yes, that would be true,said Kate,"but if you tell them that, the first thing they will ask will be''where was your father?'' |
| 3722 | You WOULD try it if we had a chance? |
| 3722 | You are going to keep your nephew on the buying job? |
| 3722 | You are not letting yourself think he would''give a cent''to send you to that fool normal- thing, are you? |
| 3722 | You are sure you want land? |
| 3722 | You ca n''t bring yourself--? |
| 3722 | You ca n''t? |
| 3722 | You called me out here, and married me expressly to answer this? |
| 3722 | You did n''t give him any treatment, Holt? |
| 3722 | You do n''t mean to say you did n''t LIKE it? |
| 3722 | You have n''t opened an office yet? |
| 3722 | You heard cries? |
| 3722 | You just coming to bed? |
| 3722 | You let him think THAT? |
| 3722 | You may take it,said Agatha,"but had n''t you better reconsider, Katherine? |
| 3722 | You mean you believe in after life? |
| 3722 | You really married this lout? |
| 3722 | You really will not help me, Mother? |
| 3722 | You rushed in and married him without giving Robert time to find out and tell you what everybody knows about him? |
| 3722 | You signed that? |
| 3722 | You were n''t? 3722 You would n''t expect me to plod along as if I were plowing, with a thing like this on my head, would you?" |
| 3722 | You would n''t? 3722 You''re going to live with him, you''re going to stay in Walden to live?" |
| 3722 | You''re not going to allow George to kill any one else? |
| 3722 | You''ve signed a contract for a school? |
| 3722 | You-- you didn''t--? |
| 3722 | ''Spanked school- boys''and all--""Did you tell him my father said that?" |
| 3722 | Ai n''t I a dandy mind reader though? |
| 3722 | Ai n''t I a great old economist, though?" |
| 3722 | Ai n''t I, now?" |
| 3722 | Ai n''t that little roly- poly of Hannah''s too sweet? |
| 3722 | Ai n''t you going to go over and help her?" |
| 3722 | Ai n''t you sense in your head? |
| 3722 | Ai n''t you sense ner reason? |
| 3722 | All I want to know is, WILL YOU TAKE IT?" |
| 3722 | An''me relyin''on sendin''you half her board money to help you out? |
| 3722 | And I want you to smash down hard on their everlasting,''why did n''t you do this?'' |
| 3722 | And Robert, what is a Zonoletic Doctor?" |
| 3722 | And are you the most beautiful young man at Bates Corners, Henry?" |
| 3722 | And are you truly in earnest about a car?" |
| 3722 | And is it any worse for me to have your girl in spite of the real desires and dictates of your heart, than it was for you to have mine? |
| 3722 | And is n''t it the queerest thing how people are made? |
| 3722 | And really, Agatha, have you seen the man? |
| 3722 | And say, about those deeds burning up-- wasn''t that too grand?" |
| 3722 | And the new furniture was bought with your money, so it''s yours; what was there to have a meeting about?" |
| 3722 | Are Peter, and John, and Hiram, and the other boys sore, too?" |
| 3722 | Are n''t they funny? |
| 3722 | Are they all gone?" |
| 3722 | Are they just itching to start my funeral? |
| 3722 | Are they nice little folks, straight and good looking?" |
| 3722 | Are you SURE?" |
| 3722 | Are you going to tell them?" |
| 3722 | Are you in trouble?" |
| 3722 | Are you mad? |
| 3722 | Are you really sure of him, Nancy Ellen?" |
| 3722 | Are you stark, staring mad?" |
| 3722 | Are you sure you would n''t?" |
| 3722 | Are you teaching in Walden this winter?" |
| 3722 | Are your clothes good enough? |
| 3722 | As Nancy Ellen and Robert walked back toward home:"How is this going to come out?" |
| 3722 | As for wealth, who cares? |
| 3722 | As last she seated herself before him and said gently:"Wo n''t you tell me about it, Henry?" |
| 3722 | As she worked Polly came flying in the door crying:"Mother, who has come?" |
| 3722 | As they drove in she said of him:"George, what about it? |
| 3722 | As they entered the door Nancy Ellen was saying:"Why, how does the house come to be all lighted up? |
| 3722 | At last she asked:"What on earth has happened? |
| 3722 | At last she said gently:"Why, Polly, would you want to trust a tiny baby with a woman you ran away from yourself?" |
| 3722 | At the corner Robert hesitated and turned to ask:"Shall we go ahead, Kate?" |
| 3722 | Be you a daughter of Adam Bates, the Land King, of Bates Corners?" |
| 3722 | Before she had finished, she heard George''s voice in the house demanding:"Where''s our millionaire lady? |
| 3722 | Besides, is it right? |
| 3722 | But do n''t you think that I and mine are going to take a lot of shielding? |
| 3722 | But does n''t it clarify the situation any, at least for me, when I tell you that Mr. Jardine gave me no faintest hint that he was married? |
| 3722 | But was n''t it plain logic, that if the hat was to bring the man, it should be worn where at any minute he might see it?" |
| 3722 | But what has that got to do with the fact that I WAS wearing the hat? |
| 3722 | But what is the matter with Nancy Ellen helping her, while I take my turn at Normal? |
| 3722 | By the way, is he as tall as you?" |
| 3722 | By the way, what are they doing?" |
| 3722 | By the way, where''s your wife? |
| 3722 | Ca n''t they stay away until you send them word that the breath''s out of my body?" |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you baptize us now?" |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you just help me THINK?" |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you think of something that will lay the rest of them clear in the shade? |
| 3722 | Ca n''t you use your brain and help me figure out a way to earn some MONEY?" |
| 3722 | Can you get that straight?" |
| 3722 | Can you think of anything I can do? |
| 3722 | Can you?" |
| 3722 | Could George buy timber as he thought; could she, herself, if he failed? |
| 3722 | Could n''t you possibly stay over Sunday?" |
| 3722 | Could that spring water have been infected with typhus? |
| 3722 | Crying over a hat? |
| 3722 | Did I understand your description anywhere near right? |
| 3722 | Did he say he still loved you?" |
| 3722 | Did he send you word you could n''t come home, either? |
| 3722 | Did n''t we, Adam?" |
| 3722 | Did you come here to attend the Summer School for Teachers?" |
| 3722 | Did you cry''cause you could n''t go?" |
| 3722 | Did you really, Polly? |
| 3722 | Did you think I could n''t find a school?" |
| 3722 | Did your mother purposely fix my food so I could not eat it?" |
| 3722 | Do n''t you know who she is? |
| 3722 | Do n''t you sense that she''s a daughter of Adam Bates? |
| 3722 | Do you hear me?" |
| 3722 | Do you hear?" |
| 3722 | Do you see?" |
| 3722 | Do you want to go to Hartley for anything? |
| 3722 | Does Mother want me?" |
| 3722 | Does Nancy Ellen know you are here?" |
| 3722 | Does that satisfy you?" |
| 3722 | Does that satisfy you?" |
| 3722 | Drive her from the house, will you? |
| 3722 | Even as she thought of these things she was asking:"She''s better now?" |
| 3722 | Finally he asked:"Still hunting the''why,''Kate?" |
| 3722 | Foolish kids? |
| 3722 | George, did you, Oh, did you, close the sluice- gate when you came home?" |
| 3722 | Had n''t you better bring matters to a close if you can, and let the Director know? |
| 3722 | Have you been to Agatha''s yet?" |
| 3722 | Have you even signified to him that you-- that you-- that you could be induced, even to CONTEMPLATE marriage?" |
| 3722 | Have you got many Hartley women, doing what you call women''s work, to compare with me physically, Robert?" |
| 3722 | Have you got your figures all set down, to back you up, Katie?" |
| 3722 | Have you investigated that? |
| 3722 | Have you send Agatha word that we will be out this afternoon?" |
| 3722 | He answered laconically:"Has a fish got much to say about what happens to it after you get it out of the water?" |
| 3722 | He did not take the trouble to step around the table and shake hands, but muttered a gruff"howdy do?" |
| 3722 | He has n''t proposed for your hand, you say? |
| 3722 | He laughed hilariously:"Brought them in a hurry, did n''t we? |
| 3722 | He was slow in starting and words dragged and came singly:"Yesterday-- tired-- big dinner-- awful hot-- sunstroke--""He''s gone?" |
| 3722 | Her father lowered his paper and asked harshly:"What did you buy that thing for?" |
| 3722 | How are you making it, Kate?" |
| 3722 | How are you? |
| 3722 | How big would you feel? |
| 3722 | How can I manage that?" |
| 3722 | How could I help giving them to him? |
| 3722 | How could I know? |
| 3722 | How could she?" |
| 3722 | How did I ever think of coming here, and why did n''t I think of it seven years ago? |
| 3722 | How did he get hurt?" |
| 3722 | How did he happen to look as he did, right under the red haw, in broad daylight? |
| 3722 | How did you come back, Kate?" |
| 3722 | How did you come to have a racket with your old man?" |
| 3722 | How did you come to think of it?" |
| 3722 | How did you like her?" |
| 3722 | How do you do? |
| 3722 | How do you like that?" |
| 3722 | How do you think I''m to explain my not going home for the Holidays, and to my sister''s wedding, and retain my self- respect before my patrons?" |
| 3722 | How far along are you?" |
| 3722 | How long have you been thinking about it?" |
| 3722 | How will we ever be good enough to pay her?" |
| 3722 | How will we ever thank Grandmother? |
| 3722 | How would her mother greet her? |
| 3722 | How would that suit you for a plan, my dear?" |
| 3722 | How would the other boys act, if Adam, the best balanced man of them all, was behaving as he was? |
| 3722 | How would you like it?" |
| 3722 | I could put you and Polly with Aunt Ollie this summer; but I would n''t, not if we must freeze and starve together--""Because of Grandma?" |
| 3722 | I have n''t stolen, murdered, or betrayed, who should I be imprisoned?" |
| 3722 | I''m big and strong, you''re almost a man, why do n''t we DO something? |
| 3722 | I''m making money, I''m starting my boy in a safe, useful life; have you many year and a half babies in your practice that can beat Little Poll? |
| 3722 | I''m speakin''plain, ai n''t I? |
| 3722 | If I get this darling little girl, will she make me big, and splendid, and fine, like you?" |
| 3722 | If ever I see Father begin to be the least bit like him as he grows older I shall----""Well, what shall you do?" |
| 3722 | If her man was somewhere, only waiting to see her, and the hat would help him to speedy recognition, why miss a change? |
| 3722 | If she knew how to handle the baby as I have, and was willing to add the work to her daily round, would you be willing to have her? |
| 3722 | If that very expensive hat was going to produce the man why not let it begin to work from the very start? |
| 3722 | If you are straight from sunbonnets, as you told me last night, where did you get these advanced ideas?" |
| 3722 | If you heard all we said, you surely remember that you were not mentioned?" |
| 3722 | If you''re ill, could I get anything for you?" |
| 3722 | In case we can plan for a life together next Sunday, what about my mother?" |
| 3722 | In the future will you not try to remember that you should say,''have gone,''instead of''have went?''" |
| 3722 | Instead of answering, she asked him a question:"What makes you ask that?" |
| 3722 | Is he a millionaire? |
| 3722 | Is it honest?" |
| 3722 | Is it understood that if I give up the school and come back and take ours, Father will let me come home?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t it a lovely place?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t it grand? |
| 3722 | Is n''t she a dear?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t she a wonder, Mother?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t that a fine thought?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t that so?" |
| 3722 | Is n''t this a fine lunch?" |
| 3722 | Is that all right?" |
| 3722 | Is that right?" |
| 3722 | Is there any special thing the matter?" |
| 3722 | Is there anything else you want?" |
| 3722 | Is there?" |
| 3722 | Is this your hat?" |
| 3722 | Is your father in this, too? |
| 3722 | Jardine?" |
| 3722 | Kate looked at him sharply:"What do you mean by that?" |
| 3722 | Kate turned her head away:"Do n''t you think I have had about enough at present?" |
| 3722 | Kate waved toward the babies:"Will you please take them away until they need me?" |
| 3722 | Kate waved toward the bundle:"Am I supposed to welcome and love them?" |
| 3722 | Kate, will you go in with me? |
| 3722 | Kate, will you kiss me good- bye?" |
| 3722 | Kate, will you?" |
| 3722 | Katherine Eleanor, what more could you ask?" |
| 3722 | Katie, will you come with me?" |
| 3722 | Life shows us woman on the age- old quest every day, everywhere we go; why be so secretive about it? |
| 3722 | Make a lake? |
| 3722 | Might it be a stroke? |
| 3722 | Milly York? |
| 3722 | Morning is winging its way past me, the question is: do I sit still and let it pass, or do I take its wings and fly away?" |
| 3722 | Mother afraid of him? |
| 3722 | Mother, did you ever invite Kate to visit us?" |
| 3722 | Mother, do you feel a wild desire for two hundred acres of land? |
| 3722 | Mrs. Jardine kept watching her so closely that Kate asked at last:"Have you made up your mind, yet?" |
| 3722 | Now are you satisfied?" |
| 3722 | Now what is this I hear about your having been to see lawyers and trying to find a way to set aside the adoption papers you signed? |
| 3722 | Now what may I do to add to your comfort?" |
| 3722 | Now you have''healed my lame leg,''as the dog said in McGuffey''s Third, what can I do for THIS poor dog?" |
| 3722 | Now, Henry, is there any one at your house who would have figured this out, and taken the time, pains, and done work that I have? |
| 3722 | Oh, George, could you possibly teach for me, only for a few days, until I get my stomach settled?" |
| 3722 | Oh, Kate, wo n''t you see if that Walden trustee ca n''t possibly find another teacher, and let you off? |
| 3722 | Oh, Kate, wo n''t you see if you ca n''t possibly get that man to hire another teacher?" |
| 3722 | Oh, what ARE the wings of morning?" |
| 3722 | Oh, what shall I do?" |
| 3722 | Oh, why could n''t it have been Kate? |
| 3722 | One day as she sat holding it she said to Kate:"Is n''t the baby a dreadful bother to you? |
| 3722 | Please call my carriage?" |
| 3722 | Please?" |
| 3722 | Really, George, ca n''t you do better than that?" |
| 3722 | Robert glanced upward and asked:"Is n''t there room enough up there, Kate?" |
| 3722 | Same kind of a desire that took you to come here?" |
| 3722 | Shall I send it, or will you wear it?" |
| 3722 | Shall I send more of my things? |
| 3722 | Shall I take you home?" |
| 3722 | Shall I?" |
| 3722 | Shall we start about the tenth, on the night train, which will be cooler? |
| 3722 | She did not take the trouble to evade by asking"what thing?" |
| 3722 | She hesitated, and she whispered to Kate:"Did Robert--?" |
| 3722 | She looked ghastly ill."Doctor,"she said,"could n''t you have let me die?" |
| 3722 | She might have said these things, but why say them? |
| 3722 | She said it was n''t natural, and when people undertook to controvert-- ain''t that a peach? |
| 3722 | She thought an instant and then asked:"Have you been to the post office?" |
| 3722 | She waited until they were past Hartley and then she asked suddenly:"Adam, what is the matter?" |
| 3722 | She was a prim, fussy woman, born of a prim father and a fussy mother, so what was to be expected? |
| 3722 | She will start out in less than no time to find some place else to stay, an''who could blame her? |
| 3722 | Should Milly come with them, or should they build a small house on the end of the farm nearest her mother? |
| 3722 | Since when did you begin carrying that stuff around with you, and feeding it to tiny babies?" |
| 3722 | Sitting beside the bed one day she said to Kate:"My dear, do you know that I''m having a mighty good time? |
| 3722 | Suddenly John asked:"Kate, if you could have anything you wanted, what would you have?" |
| 3722 | Suddenly he said:"Kate, will you marry me?" |
| 3722 | Suppose you OPEN the office and patients do n''t come, or we have n''t the school; what would we LIVE on? |
| 3722 | Sure you did n''t dream that travelling proposition, George?" |
| 3722 | Tell us something we do n''t KNOW, will you? |
| 3722 | That Holt man was n''t big enough to beat you, was he?" |
| 3722 | The Bates family never did anything unless there was some purpose in it, what was the purpose in this? |
| 3722 | The doctor looked at her sharply:"More than an hour ago?" |
| 3722 | The minister turned to the pitcher, which always stood on his desk, filled his palm, and asked:"What is the baby''s name?" |
| 3722 | The one thing people could and did say was:"How could she marry George Holt?" |
| 3722 | The question is, what''s the matter with you?" |
| 3722 | Then out of the clear sky she said it:"Adam, how long are we going to stay in the beggar class?" |
| 3722 | Then steps crossed the room, someone knelt beside her, put an arm around her and said:"Kate, why are you crying?" |
| 3722 | Then they talked the family over, and at last Agatha said:"Kate, what is this I hear about Robert? |
| 3722 | They shook hands, smiling at each other, and then Kate said:"Now, Mrs. Jardine, what shall I do for you first?" |
| 3722 | Think I can respect that, or ask my children to respect it? |
| 3722 | This afternoon?" |
| 3722 | WHY was he IN our blackberry patch? |
| 3722 | Want to go?" |
| 3722 | Was he so surprised and angry he was choking? |
| 3722 | Was n''t it the grandest thing?" |
| 3722 | Was the plan feasible, after all? |
| 3722 | What I came for to- day, and what I want to know now is, if I go, will you take my baby?" |
| 3722 | What are they doing?" |
| 3722 | What are you going to do?" |
| 3722 | What designing creature has been trying to intrigue you now?" |
| 3722 | What did Kate want? |
| 3722 | What did his mother mean?" |
| 3722 | What did she care who worried or what time it was? |
| 3722 | What did you bring the children?" |
| 3722 | What did your father give them?" |
| 3722 | What do I care?" |
| 3722 | What do you think about it?" |
| 3722 | What do you think of that?" |
| 3722 | What do you think, Nancy Ellen?" |
| 3722 | What else can you think of?" |
| 3722 | What encouragement is that to try again? |
| 3722 | What encouragement is there for it to try better the coming year? |
| 3722 | What end is that for the ambition and life work of a real man? |
| 3722 | What for?" |
| 3722 | What if she could not pay back Agatha''s money? |
| 3722 | What if she failed in securing one? |
| 3722 | What if she had taken"the wings of morning,"and fallen in her flight? |
| 3722 | What is the difference whether I was born in''62 or''42? |
| 3722 | What is your name, please?" |
| 3722 | What makes you say that?" |
| 3722 | What more do you want?" |
| 3722 | What shall we do?" |
| 3722 | What shall we tell them?" |
| 3722 | What was coming? |
| 3722 | What was your rush, anyway? |
| 3722 | What will become of my school? |
| 3722 | What will you have for your supper?" |
| 3722 | What will you say then?" |
| 3722 | What would I buy things with, and pay doctor bills?" |
| 3722 | What would I care--?" |
| 3722 | What would you-- could you, do?" |
| 3722 | What you bet Agatha asked John his intentions? |
| 3722 | What''s my job, how much is my share of the money, and when do I get it?" |
| 3722 | What''s the attraction?" |
| 3722 | What''s the difference how he writes? |
| 3722 | When Kate could endure it no longer she interrupted:"Why did n''t all of them come?" |
| 3722 | When Nancy Ellen came, she took only one glance at Kate''s glorified face and asked:"What in this world has happened to you?" |
| 3722 | When did you get to be a thief?" |
| 3722 | When do we start?" |
| 3722 | When it is so easy to get another? |
| 3722 | Where are you? |
| 3722 | Where did he come from? |
| 3722 | Where did she get the money?" |
| 3722 | Where does that dainty and wonderful little mother come in? |
| 3722 | Where is it?" |
| 3722 | Where is that good- for- nothing Kate?" |
| 3722 | Where should we be if he let anything happen to those deeds?" |
| 3722 | Where were you when it was the proper time for you to be studying the speech of Logan''s ancestor in McGuffey''s Fourth?" |
| 3722 | Where, oh, where are my hat and my carriage now? |
| 3722 | Who is he? |
| 3722 | Who was it?" |
| 3722 | Who was she to judge or to refuse help when it was asked? |
| 3722 | Who would I get to do the work here?" |
| 3722 | Why are n''t the clothes on the line? |
| 3722 | Why did n''t they come in?" |
| 3722 | Why did n''t you insist on the thing going through court; the land belong sold, and equal divisions of all the proceeds?" |
| 3722 | Why did n''t you wait until you got home?" |
| 3722 | Why did she go to that silly concert? |
| 3722 | Why do I cook for her, and make her bed, and wash her clothes, while she earns money to spend on herself? |
| 3722 | Why do n''t we have some decent clothes, some money for out work and"--Kate spoke at random--"a horse and carriage?" |
| 3722 | Why do n''t you brush up and wait on Miss Bates first?" |
| 3722 | Why do n''t you go to George for what you want?" |
| 3722 | Why not have a simple ceremony somewhere at once, and go away until school begins, and forget him, having a good time by ourselves? |
| 3722 | Why not let me have this wonderful chance with it? |
| 3722 | Why not now? |
| 3722 | Why not say honestly what we want, and take it if we can get it? |
| 3722 | Why not state what you propose in plain, unequivocal terms, and let the dear, old soul, who has done so much for us already, decide what she will do?" |
| 3722 | Why persist in misstatements and inaccuracies when one knew better? |
| 3722 | Why should n''t I have the same chance as Nancy Ellen? |
| 3722 | Why should the others be real, and that a dream?" |
| 3722 | Why should we pack up and go home? |
| 3722 | Why should you be out digging potatoes?" |
| 3722 | Why, be you an''him friends?" |
| 3722 | Why, where were you?" |
| 3722 | Why?" |
| 3722 | Why?" |
| 3722 | Will she be pleased?" |
| 3722 | Will you come?" |
| 3722 | Will you get ready and come with me to- day?" |
| 3722 | Will you just kindly begin at the beginning, and tell me every single word Robert said to you, and you said to him, that day?" |
| 3722 | Will you let me show you, and explain, and prove to you?" |
| 3722 | Will you stay with me, my dear?" |
| 3722 | Will you talk to Aunt Ollie? |
| 3722 | Will you tell me why I should?" |
| 3722 | Will you?" |
| 3722 | With me away--""What do you think?" |
| 3722 | Wo n''t it be grand?" |
| 3722 | Wo n''t it freeze in winter? |
| 3722 | Wo n''t you let me be your scholar, too? |
| 3722 | Wo n''t you please tell me?" |
| 3722 | Wo n''t you sit down and have a chat? |
| 3722 | Work? |
| 3722 | Would you go to see your brother Adam, and see if you could get him to take an interest for young Adam? |
| 3722 | Would you?" |
| 3722 | You are hurt over giving up the baby as you have; I''m hurt over losing my daughter as I did; we are about even on the past, do n''t you think?" |
| 3722 | You believe me, do n''t you?" |
| 3722 | You dear girl, where are you?" |
| 3722 | You do believe that I was n''t ugly to her, do n''t you?" |
| 3722 | You know my figures, do n''t you? |
| 3722 | You let those lazy scoundrels of brothers of yours hoodwink you, and pull the wool over your eyes like that? |
| 3722 | You like Sally, do n''t you?" |
| 3722 | You wo n''t have anything to do with it?" |
| 3722 | You''ll be careful?" |
| 3722 | You''ll let me, Father? |
| 3722 | Your mother--?" |
| 3722 | and can you get strong enough power from water to run a large saw? |
| 3722 | and''why did n''t you do that?'' |
| 3722 | cried the horrified Nancy Ellen,"Whatever do you mean?" |
| 3722 | she demanded after the manner of mothers,"and what in this world has happened to you?" |
