1698	The strongest constitutions suffer the most, do they not?

1698	True,said I,"but what then?"

1698	Will you then come with me, sir?
1698	Yes, Andre,I replied,"as long as the wind continues favorable the raft has decidedly the advantage; but supposing the wind shifts; what then?"
1698	You are surely not going to wish me a happy New Year?
1698	You do n''t know, sir? 1698 You have not, then,"I added,"abandoned all hope even yet?"
1698	Ah, sir, do you suppose that Andre can ever forgive his parents for bringing him into the world a cripple?"
1698	And have we kept a northeasterly direction since we left?"

1698	Could n''t we manage to blow up the rock?
1698	Could we dare to look at one another, and breathe a New Year''s greeting?
1698	Had we not always associated the opening of another year with new hopes, new plans, and coming joys?
1698	Have I done right or wrong?
1698	Have you ever sailed with him before?"
1698	He turned his quid with the most serene composure, and continued:"And is n''t it me myself that''s been wrecked nine times already?
1698	I made no remonstrance, however, to this view of our case, but merely asked M. Letourneur if he had confidence in Robert Curtis?
1698	I must be pardoned for giving these distressing details; but how otherwise can I depict the misery, moral and physical, which we are enduring?
1698	I was alone with Robert Curtis to- day upon the poop, and could not help saying to him,"Curtis, is your captain mad?"
1698	Is it being kept for the porpoises or the officers?"
1698	Is it merely imagination?
1698	Is it possible that still greater agonies are in store for us?
1698	Is there no remedy?
1698	Is there nothing to be done?"
1698	Just as I moved away I heard the boatswain say to Curtis:"Captain, when shall we draw lots?"
1698	Kazallon?"
1698	Living, did I say?
1698	Miss Herbey; but are you thinking of taking a lease?"
1698	Miss Herbey?"
1698	Struck by his manner, I ventured to add,"Do you mind, Curtis, giving me your honest opinion of Captain Huntly?"
1698	Suppose the man is actually mad, what then?"
1698	The fire would be quenched; and what would be easier than to pump the water out again?"
1698	Then, breaking off suddenly, he asked:"How long is it since my son and all of you have had anything to eat?"
1698	There, most undeniably, was the ship, but the question rose at once to the minds of all, and to the lips of many,"Would she see us?"
1698	To what could the engineer be alluding?
1698	Was I dreaming, or was there not really some unaccustomed odor floating in the air?
1698	Was it a humane desire to see whether any sparks of life remained?
1698	Was not I reaping the benefit of that secret store that he, for himself, had saved?
1698	Was there nothing that would serve to quench the fire that was burning within me?
1698	Was there time to go back?
1698	What could be the harm?
1698	What could we do?
1698	What did he insinuate?
1698	What if, instead of drinking the blood of others, I were to drink my own?
1698	What then was it that kept them lingering so close around?
1698	Where is Ruby, now?"
1698	Who would be the next to go?
1698	Why do they give themselves such trouble?
1698	Why not let the few frail planks part asunder, and allow the ocean to terminate our miserable existence?
1698	Why should not this be as drinkable as the other?
1698	Why should the hatchways be so hermetically closed as though a mutinous crew was imprisoned between decks?
1698	Why suspect us?"
1698	Would the sailors with their keen vision pronounce it to be a sail?
1698	Would you launch a boat in such a sea as this?"
1698	Yet who had ventured to do the deed?
1698	Yet why, it struck me, should I complain?
1698	and how can you get at your men beyond that sheet of flame?"
1698	do n''t you know that there is fire on board?"
1698	exclaimed Owen,"do n''t you mean to let us have our grog?"
1698	said Owen,"do you suppose that longboats were only made for porpoises?"
1698	was it not coming to pass that the cannibals were rousing my envy instead of exciting my horror?
1698	what do you mean?"
1698	whither were my meditations carrying me away?
11441	''And who thinks of recalling it?
11441	''Are you thinking of that still?''
11441	''Can it be an island?
11441	''Do not grow angry, Sandy?
11441	''Does not pretty Kate recognize me?''
11441	''For a long time?''
11441	''Has he then,''thought Catherine,''a presentiment of the happiness in store for him?''
11441	''I may then set out on my voyage, Kate?''
11441	''Who is your husband?
11441	''Why not?
11441	''You will be prudent; you promise me?
11441	Against so many enemies, what can Selkirk do, reduced to his single strength?
11441	All this, Kate, signifies that I mean to marry; and who do you suppose has put this pretty whim into my head?
11441	Am I not a striking proof?
11441	Am I now their enemy?
11441	And this island, is it deserted?
11441	Are not my resources for subsistence more certain and numerous to- day than before?
11441	At all events, is she not the most intelligent being chance has placed near him?
11441	Besides, can one utter an exclamation of triumph, where there is not even an echo to repeat it?
11441	Besides, has not our fortunate Selkirk the resource of hunting?
11441	But has he indeed destroyed all?
11441	But is he not about to find countrymen at Coquimbo?
11441	But of what use would it be?
11441	But they have gone; what method shall I employ to recall them, to signalize my presence?''
11441	But this exile, is it complete isolation?
11441	But this fire, must he, each time he may need it, go through the same tedious process?
11441	But what had thus unexpectedly changed, from white to black, the good intentions of Catherine in the captain''s behalf?
11441	But what would the unsuccessful candidates say?
11441	But who has told you of me?''
11441	But who knows whether she will ever hear of thee?
11441	Do you still suspect me?
11441	For a sail, has he not that which was left him by the Swordfish?
11441	Friends!--has he ever had any?
11441	Had he not already conceived the project of preparing a barque to explore that unknown coast?
11441	Has he a pipe?
11441	Has he not almost always lived alone, in spirit at least?
11441	Has he not the choice between seal- skins and goat- skins?
11441	Has she then remarked that he is without arms?
11441	Have we not seen in India, ourang- outangs trained to perform the office of domestics?
11441	He is a Spaniard and a Roman Catholic; Selkirk is a Scotchman and a Presbyterian; what matters it?
11441	He must shield himself from the humidity of the air; where shall he procure materials?
11441	He needs hewn wood, and his supplies are exhausted; what is to be done?
11441	How came she there?
11441	How long must his sufferings last?
11441	I simply asked you who he was?''
11441	If an island, is it inhabited?
11441	If it is inhabited, as he still believes he has reason to suppose, by whom is it so?
11441	If they land on this coast, whither shall I fly, where conceal myself?
11441	Into what regions, into what solitudes of the sea is he to be carried, far from islands and continents?
11441	Is he dreaming of his friends in Scotland, of his first love?
11441	Is he not then sufficient for himself?
11441	Is instinct then superior to reason?
11441	Is it not indispensable to his kitchen?
11441	Is it not necessary, if he would open a passage through the dense woods?
11441	Is it not to procure this precious, indispensable herb,--which the world had easily done without for thousands of years?
11441	Is not the stream placed here expressly to traverse it and water it?
11441	Is the island inhabited or deserted?
11441	Later, perhaps,... Who knows?
11441	Nevertheless one evening, he went, in his turn, to lean on the counter:''Kate,''said he,''when is our marriage to take place?''
11441	Nevertheless, yesterday, said he to himself, in this thick wood, did I not see alleys trimmed with the shears, trees shaped by the pruning- knife?
11441	Of what use will it be to me?
11441	Passing through St. Andrew, could he help experiencing anew the desire to see his old friend pretty Kitty?
11441	Perhaps he is resting after the fatigues of the day?
11441	Selkirk had more reason than Atticus to decide thus; besides, his friends, where are they, to exhort him to live?
11441	Surrounded with fishes of all colors, with feathered and other game, must he then be reduced to dispute with the agoutis, their maripa- nuts?
11441	That he may find a master, a chief, under whose will he must bend?
11441	The monkey has consulted her instinct, and it has inspired her; if I consult reason, what will be her counsel?
11441	The society of a Stradling and his fellows?
11441	The society of men?
11441	They had not discovered many legs, but neither had they discovered a head; why should he have one?
11441	This abyss, from which she ascends with so much facility, who knows but with her aid he may be able in his turn to leave it?
11441	This guardian, where shall he find?
11441	To live in entire liberty, to depend only upon himself, will not this impart to his soul true dignity?
11441	Was it not thus that icicle, dressed in blue, called Stradling, talked to me of the pleasures of marriage?
11441	Was not the existence of the monopedous man attested by modern travellers, and even in antiquity and the middle ages, by Pliny and St. Augustine?
11441	Was this, on her part, caprice or foresight?
11441	Well, is not this the most valuable service he can expect from it?
11441	What cares he?
11441	What could the opulent proprietor of this enchanting abode do without fire?
11441	What date did it bear?''
11441	What elements of happiness has he ever met in this miserable island?
11441	What had become of him?
11441	What had become of them?
11441	What happy mortal, during the heat of the day, is there gently rocked, gently refreshed, by a light sea breeze?
11441	What has he to desire more in this terrestrial Paradise?
11441	What have I to regret?
11441	What import to him the beautiful sights spread out before his eyes?
11441	What is done, is done; I am his wife, do you understand?
11441	What is he looking for there?
11441	What is he then doing in his hammock?
11441	What is his name?''
11441	What is it that is so essential to his happiness?
11441	What is property, without the power of improvement?
11441	What is there visionary about this hope?
11441	What is to be done?
11441	What then is wanting?
11441	What to him imports experiment, what imports danger?
11441	What to him imports the plenty which surrounds him, if he has no tobacco?
11441	What was this land?
11441	Whence can I expect aid and succor for my deliverance?
11441	Where?
11441	Which of the two is most true to nature?
11441	Whither is he going?
11441	Who can tell whether any human being will learn the sufferings in reserve for thee?
11441	Who knows?
11441	Why do I need it?
11441	Why dost thou weep?
11441	Why has it not been already prepared?
11441	Why have I not thought of this before?
11441	Why may it not be Marimonda?
11441	Why should I not attempt to improve them by cultivation?
11441	Why should I then retrace my steps, when I have already travelled more than half the road?''
11441	Why?
11441	Will game be wanting here?
11441	Will that suit you?''
11441	Will you land me at Coquimbo, yes or no?
11441	With his eyes half closed, he is inhaling, undoubtedly, the perfume of his myrtles, the soft fragrance of his heliotropes?
11441	Would he have dared to ask it of the other productions of his island?
11441	Would not this decision be at the risk of kindling a civil war, of provoking perhaps a general desertion?
11441	and will not his seal- skin hammock serve as a spare sail?
11441	are generosity, devotion, even pity, all those noble instincts by which the soul reveals itself, for ever interdicted to me?
11441	do you see him yonder, in the second stall, at the same place he formerly occupied?
11441	does no one need me?
11441	does not reflection quickly diminish this lively joy at his return and safety?
11441	has he not more than discovered this country?
11441	he lives on his provisions: he is forcibly detained within; but has he not now good cheer, good company, and occupation, during his leisure hours?
11441	is it you, indeed, Sandy?''
11441	of what use is his leisure, if he can not spend it in smoking?
11441	said he also,''Must I not die sooner or later?
11441	what avails even this fire, which he has just conquered, if he is prevented from lighting his pipe at it?
11441	who, but yourself?''
11441	why did I not remain at the foot of that precipice?''
11441	why did he not remain at Largo, with his father?
11441	why dost thou distrust God?
11441	you are going?''
47518	''Widow Dido''said you?
47518	A daughter?
47518	A space whose every cubit Seems to cry out,''How shall that Claribel Measure us back to Naples?
47518	And Trinculo is reeling ripe: where should they Find this grand liquor that hath gilded''em?
47518	And art thou living, Stephano?
47518	And how does your content Tender your own good fortune?
47518	And now, I pray you, sir, For still''tis beating in my mind, your reason For raising this sea- storm?
47518	And were the king on''t, what would I do?
47518	And,--do you mark me, sir?
47518	Art thou afeard?
47518	Ay, sir; where lies that?
47518	Before the time be out?
47518	But are they, Ariel, safe?
47518	But art thou not drowned, Stephano?
47518	But how is it That this lives in thy mind?
47518	But how should Prospero Be living and be here?
47518	But was not this nigh shore?
47518	But, for your conscience?
47518	By what?
47518	Canst thou bring me to the party?
47518	Canst thou remember A time before we came unto this cell?
47518	Carthage?
47518	Didst thou not say he lied?
47518	Do I so?
47518	Do you hear, monster?
47518	Do you love me, master?
47518	Do you love me?
47518	Do you not hear him?
47518	Do you not hear me speak?
47518	Do you put tricks upon''s with savages and men of Ind, ha?
47518	Do you understand me?
47518	Dost thou forget From what a torment I did free thee?
47518	Dost thou like the plot, Trinculo?
47518	Dost thou think so, spirit?
47518	Doth thy other mouth call me?
47518	Foul weather?
47518	Had I not Four or five women once that tended me?
47518	Hast thou forgot The foul witch Sycorax, who with age and envy Was grown into a hoop?
47518	Hast thou no mouth by land?
47518	Hast thou not dropp''d from heaven?
47518	Hast thou, spirit, Perform''d to point the tempest that I bade thee?
47518	Have we devils here?
47518	Have you a mind to sink?
47518	He is drunk now: where had he wine?
47518	Heard you this, Gonzalo?
47518	Here, master: what cheer?
47518	How came that widow in?
47518	How came we ashore?
47518	How camest thou here?
47518	How camest thou hither?
47518	How camest thou in this pickle?
47518	How didst thou''scape?
47518	How does my bounteous sister?
47518	How does thy honour?
47518	How fares my gracious sir?
47518	How now shall this be compassed?
47518	How now?
47518	How''s the day?
47518	How?
47518	I do beseech you-- Chiefly that I might set it in my prayers-- What is your name?
47518	I say, My foot my tutor?
47518	I''the name of something holy, sir, why stand you In this strange stare?
47518	If but one of his pockets could speak, would it not say he lies?
47518	If in Naples I should report this now, would they believe me?
47518	If you be maid or no?
47518	Is it so brave a lass?
47518	Is not this Stephano, my drunken butler?
47518	Is not this true?
47518	Is not, sir, my doublet as fresh as the first day I wore it?
47518	Is the storm overblown?
47518	Is there more toil?
47518	May I be bold To think these spirits?
47518	Mistress line, is not this my jerkin?
47518	My husband, then?
47518	No marrying''mong his subjects?
47518	Now, blasphemy, That swear''st grace o''erboard, not an oath on shore?
47518	O Stephano, hast any more of this?
47518	O thou mine heir Of Naples and of Milan, what strange fish Hath made his meal on thee?
47518	O, was she so?
47518	Or blessed was''t we did?
47518	Out o''your wits and hearing too?
47518	Presently?
47518	Say again, where didst thou leave these varlets?
47518	Say, how came you hither?
47518	Say, my spirit, How fares the king and''s followers?
47518	Shall we give o''er and drown?
47518	Shrug''st thou, malice?
47518	Sir, are not you my father?
47518	Tell me, heavenly bow, If Venus or her son, as thou dost know, Do now attend the queen?
47518	The wager?
47518	Then, tell me, Who''s the next heir of Naples?
47518	Thou makest me merry; I am full of pleasure: Let us be jocund: will you troll the catch You taught me but while- ere?
47518	Thy false uncle-- Dost thou attend me?
47518	Was Milan thrust from Milan, that his issue Should become kings of Naples?

47518	What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
47518	What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
47518	What shall I do?
47518	What things are these, my lord Antonio?
47518	What wert thou, if the King of Naples heard thee?
47518	What would my potent master?
47518	What''s the matter?
