20260Are you much hurt, darling?
20260Do you feel better, dear Kate? 20260 Do you mind my asking,--are you sisters?"
20260Do you think we shall ever see her again?
20260Frances, what are you doing?
20260Is anything the matter?
20260Is it a station?
20260Nanny, dear,said Violet, turning to the old nurse;"do n''t you think my other cloak would make quite a nice soft cushion?
20260No, nothing,said poor Kate, not very truthfully-- and then to change the subject--"Where are your people?
20260Then what did you do for food and shelter all that time?
20260They are coming our way; oh, do you think she will get into our carriage?
20260What is it, Kate?
20260Will you?
20260Yes, dear,came from the next bed, in a low voice,"what is it?"
20260And Kate herself?
20260And was it stupid, do you think?
20260At the most she could only have been gone an hour, and surely she would be quickly found?
20260But tell me, what is your name, dear?
20260But was it all so still?
20260Do you care for flowers?"
20260How did you know I was here?"

20260Kate, does n''t it make you unutterably glad?"
20260No, here she comes, but with a very grave face-- much too grave-- and oh, where is Kate?
20260She only answered quietly:"Shall I tell you a true story?
20260That night, before she went to sleep, Frances said:"Kate, does what you spoke of still burn into you?"
20260The doctors moved away at last, and Kate turned a pair of wondering eyes upon Frances as she said:"What made you wish to lose your leg instead?"
20260What am I to call you?"
20260What can I do?"

20260Who could resist a pillow- fight?
20260and would my doll help you to bear the pain?"
20260where is Kate?"
12176A large one, is it not? 12176 Anything for me?"
12176Are n''t you glad that your uncle is coming home?
12176Are n''t you? 12176 Are you ill, to- day?"
12176But what if Gabriel should tell Brossard?
12176Did n''t I?
12176Do you know that it is because of you that this desert has blossomed? 12176 Do you mean to say,"cried Joyce,"that you have been out here in the field since sunrise without a bite to eat?"
12176Do you think he will like it?
12176How did it all happen?

12176Mademoiselle,called Monsieur Ciseaux from the next room,"mademoiselle, will you come-- will you tell me-- what name was that?
12176May I see it?
12176Oh, Solomon,she said,"what do you suppose is the matter over there?
12176Oh, was it really so improper and horrid of me, madame?
12176Oh, what will they do to us?
12176Seventy- three years, did you say? 12176 Were they beggars when they were little?"

12176What must I do?
12176What now, Fool?
12176What''s Number Thirty- one?
12176What''s the matter?
12176Where is your tree?
12176Why do you come masquerading here to frighten my servants in this manner?
12176Will madame send Gabriel for the doctor?
12176Will you come up and see the sleeping- rooms?
12176Would the little mademoiselle like to go through the house while madame is engaged?
12176You never saw any pop- corn, did you, Jules?
12176And how long has she been back in France?"
12176Canst thou never learn that I am not to be kept waiting?"
12176Did mademoiselle know her?
12176Did you hear that, Solomon Gréville?
12176Do you know how hungry I am?"
12176Does n''t that make you think of Prince Ethelried in the fairy tale?
12176Désiré, did you say?"
12176He could not forget them, though, for had they not sung themselves through that beautiful dream every time he had it?
12176How can he know what is inside of your head if you always shut up like a clam whenever he comes near you?
12176Is n''t Désiré a pretty name?"
12176Is n''t that interesting?
12176Is n''t there a field with a fence all around it, that you could drive the goats into for a few hours?"
12176Little Blue Blue, oh, where are you?
12176Looking defiantly up into the angry face she demanded:"Then why do you keep such servants?
12176O, where are you- u- u- u?"
12176Oh, where are you- u- u- u?"
12176So when Joyce asked again,"What''s the matter, Jules?"
12176Then she stopped suddenly and put her arms around her, saying,"What''s the matter, dear?
12176Was it his dream that came back to him then, or only a memory?
12176What could Cousin Kate have sent it for?"
12176What do you suppose it is that he can never forgive?
12176What is it to me if she is homeless and alone?
12176What place is this?"
12176Where was she?
12176Why did you tell me this, child?
12176Why should he mope alone in the garden with that beseeching look of a lost dog in his big, mournful eyes?
12176Why should he not play and be happy, like the neighbor''s children or the kittens or any other young thing that had life and sunshine?
12176Will you let me have Joyce for a year?"
12176Will you not come and speak to her in English?
12176Would n''t it be lovely?"
12176Would you like that, little one?"
23195Always?
23195And you are_ sure_ that you''ll come too?
23195Are you quite certain?
23195Are you worse?
23195As good as you?
23195Baptize him_ how_?
23195But now, Wikkey, shall I read you a story about the King?
23195By- the- by, Wikkey, have you recollected your own other name?
23195Did He live in London?
23195Did you often cheat Jim?
23195Do you know what her name was before she was married?
23195Do you remember your father and mother?
23195Granby, do you mean?
23195How do you know all about the King, Lawrence?
23195How long will it be?
23195I?
23195Is anythink amiss, Lawrence?
23195Is he good?
23195Lawrence, why did He let them do it? 23195 Must I like everythink as you like?"
23195Should he send Wikkey to the workhouse? 23195 Should you like to come now, Lawrence?"
23195Talk like that of_ him_?
23195Think? 23195 Was it to make game of Him?"
23195Well,he said,"so this is Wikkey; how are you getting on, Wikkey?"
23195What did the other chap call you?
23195What does it mean-- See the King?
23195What is it, Wikkey boy?
23195Where is He?
23195Why do you like the look of me?
23195Why must n''t you what?
23195Wikkey,said Lawrence again, after a silence,"what made you take a fancy to me?"
23195Wikkey? 23195 ( Was she also making her protest on the side of common sense against a lurking desire to keep Wikkey?) 23195 (''_ How_ used?'' 23195 Can you gather any meaning from this rough outline? 23195 Do you remember the missel- thrush in the apple- tree?
23195Do you see anything?"
23195Do you think He was a bit like you?"
23195Do you think he has n''t been christened?"
23195Granby?"
23195Have you ever heard of God, Wikkey?"
23195Have you ever seen a Bible?"
23195He looks very sorrowful-- a deal sorrowfuller nor you-- and what is that He has on His Head?"
23195He staggered to his feet and gasped out:"You''ve come, have you?
23195How should he decide?"
23195I know as I''m going to die; but will it be soon?
23195I wonder if anything could be learnt by going down to the place named in the book?"
23195I wonder when I last saw a nest?"
23195I_ do n''t_ want for to leave you, Lawrence-- won''t you come, too?"
23195If He could do anything, why did n''t He save Himself from the enemies?"
23195Is it Someone as you love?"
23195Is n''t it a beauty?
23195Is that all?"
23195It will be beautiful to see the King, wo n''t it?"
23195Presently the high voice spoke again--"Why must n''t I, guvner?"
23195There was a silence, and then Lawrence said--"Ought he to be told?"
23195Was he gone?
23195Was it his duty to inculcate a proper respect for his betters into this boy?
23195Well,"he said, as they entered the sitting- room,"what do you think of him?"
23195What am I to begin with?"
23195What do you think of a tearful grandmother haunting the place?"
23195What should he do with a boy dying in the house?
23195What''s to be done?"
23195What''s your name?"
23195What_ was_ his feeling towards the Christ?
23195Where is he?"
23195You-- you have n''t been watching for me like this?"
23195he''s a swell, is he?
23195mentally ejaculated Lawrence;''what does he mean?
23195might that not account for Wikkey''s odd name?
23195must it be directly?"

30368''Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe?''
30368Admiration was the universal sentiment, though some objected that the reply to"Is it a bear?"
30368Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of the things that May be, only?"
30368Avarice, hard dealing, griping cares?
30368But he made a dash, and did it:"Is your master at home, my dear?"

30368Eh?"
30368Have I not?"

30368How could it be otherwise?
30368If I was to stop half- a- crown for it, you''d think yourself ill used, I''ll be bound?"
30368If this had never been between us,"said the girl, looking mildly, but with steadiness, upon him;"tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
30368Is it not?
30368Is its pattern strange to_ you_?"
30368Is that so much that he deserves this praise?"
30368Marley?"
30368Mr. Scrooge, are you serious?"
30368Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks,"My dear Scrooge, how are you?
30368Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?"
30368Not to sea?
30368Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up: what then?
30368Scrooge knew he was dead?
30368Scrooge?"
30368Suppose we make up a party and volunteer?"
30368Tell me what man that was whom we saw lying dead?"
30368The Spirit did not tarry here, but bade Scrooge hold his robe, and passing on above the moor, sped whither?
30368The colour?
30368We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose?"

30368Where had Scrooge heard these words?
30368Who suffers by his ill whims?
30368Who''s next?"
30368Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these?
30368Why did he not go on?
30368Why do you delight to torture me?"
30368Why give it as a reason for not coming now?"
30368Why show me this, if I am past all hope?"
30368Will you come and see me?"
30368Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die?
30368Will you do me that favour?"
30368Will you let me in, Fred?"
30368Will you not speak to me?"
30368You went to- day then, Robert?"
30368You''re not a skaiter, I suppose?"
30368a world of fools as this?
30368are they yours?"
30368cried Fred,"who''s that?"
30368replied the Ghost,"do you believe in me or not?"
30368what reason have you to be merry?
30368what reason have you to be morose?
30368what right have you to be merry?

40729B._ Mr. Scrooge?
40729B._ Oh, sir, how can we ever sufficiently manifest our gratitude for such unexpected generosity?
40729B._ To whom will our debt be transferred?
40729Bed curtains?
40729But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?
40729But, however and whenever we part from one another, I am sure we shall none of us forget poor Tiny Tim, shall we?
40729C._ And how did little Tim behave?
40729C._ Knew what, my dear?
40729C._ What has ever got your precious father, then?
40729Cold, is n''t it?
40729Come, dine with us to- morrow?
40729Do you know whether they''ve sold the prize turkey that was hanging up there?
40729Do you remember this?
40729Eh?
40729Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then?
40729Have I not?
40729Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge, or Mr. Marley?
40729Have you had many brothers, Spirit?
40729I am not changed toward you,(_ She shakes her head._) Am I?
40729If I was to stop half- a- crown for it you''d think yourself ill- used, I''ll be bound?
40729If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
40729Is it good or bad?
40729Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow?
40729Is its pattern strange to_ you_?
40729Is that so much that he deserves your praise?
40729Is that so, Spirit?
40729K._ Guess?
40729K._ How can I?
40729K._ Who was it?
40729Laughter and merriment to follow Scrooge''s speech.__ Spir._ Do you know it?
40729M._ And did you not sacrifice your love in releasing him?
40729M._ If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, the wicked old Screw, why was n''t he natural in his life time?
40729M._ Is it a bear?
40729M._ Is it a pig?
40729M._ Whose else''s do you think?
40729M._ Why, then, do n''t stand staring as if you was afraid, woman; who''s the wiser?
40729M._ You wish to be anonymous?
40729May I make bold to enquire what business has brought you here?
40729My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you really serious?
40729Not the little prize turkey; the big one?
40729Ought we not demand an explanation?
40729Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe?
40729R._ What has he done with his money?
40729R._ When did he die?
40729S._ Why, what was the matter with him?
40729SCENE I.--_Scrooge''s chambers.__ Scrooge discovered upon his knees.__ Scro._ Can this be the Spirit of Christmas Future that I see approaching?
40729Say that his power lives in words and looks; in things so light and unsignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up; what then?
40729Shall it be blind man''s buff?
40729So Old Scratch has got his own, at last, hey?
40729Spirit and Scrooge following, coming down front, and observing with interest all that passes.__ Bob._ Why, where''s our Martha?
40729Spirit, are they yours?
40729Suppose we have a game?
40729Suppose we make up a party and volunteer?
40729There, now guess?
40729Tiny Tim, what do you say to that?
40729Tut, do n''t I know(_ laughingly_), Mr. Scrooge?
40729We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose?
40729Were there no poor houses to which its light would have conducted_ me_?
40729What do you mean by coming here?
40729What do you say to a game?
40729What do you want with me?
40729What do_ you_ say, Topper?
40729What news?
40729What odds, Mrs. Dilber?
40729What reason have you to be merry?
40729What reason have you to be morose?
40729What right have you to be dismal?
40729What right have you to be merry?
40729What say you to the charge?
40729What shall I do?
40729What shall I put you down for?
40729What then?
40729What''s the consequence?
40729Who suffers by his ill whims?
40729Who''s next?
40729Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these?
40729Why do you delight to torture me?
40729Why do you point away?
40729Why does he not go on?
40729Why give it as a reason for not coming now?
40729Why have shown me all that you have, if I am past all hope?
40729Why not?
40729Why?
40729Will you come and see me?
40729Will you do me the favor?
40729Will you let me in?
40729Will you not speak to me?
40729Would it apply to any kind of dinner on this day?
40729You do n''t mean that, I''m sure?
40729You see this tooth- pick?
40729You went to- day, then, Robert?
40729You''re not a skater, I suppose?
40729[_ Exeunt._]_ Scro._ Spirit, is there a peculiar flavor in what you sprinkle from your torch?
40729[_ Shakes chain and wrings his hands._]_ Scro._ You are fettered; tell me why?
40729_ Enter Mr. Barnes_, L.,_ passes across stage; Scrooge follows and stops him.__ Scro._ My dear sir(_ taking both, his hands_), how do you do?
40729_ Fred._ But why?
40729_ Fred._ I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can not we be friends?
40729_ Fred._ What is it?
40729_ Gho._ Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me, or not?
40729_ Gho._ Slow?
40729_ Gho._ What evidence do you require of my reality beyond that of your senses?
40729_ Gho._ Why do you doubt your senses?
40729_ Gho._ You do n''t believe in me?
40729_ Joe._ His blankets?
40729_ Joe._ What do you call wasting of it?
40729_ Joe._ You do n''t mean to say you took''em down, rings and all, with Old Scrooge lying there?
40729_ Joe._(_ Opening bundle._) What do you call this?
40729_ Julia._ Is it a tiger?
40729_ Mrs B._ We are quite ruined?
40729_ Mrs M._ But, mother, did you really love him?
40729_ Sarah._ Is it a cat?
40729_ Sarah._ What is it?
40729_ Scro._ And the union work- houses-- are they still in operation?
40729_ Scro._ Are spirit''s lives so short?
40729_ Scro._ Are there no prisons?
40729_ Scro._ Can you-- can you sit down?
40729_ Scro._ Could n''t I take''em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?
40729_ Scro._ Do you know the poulterers in the next street but one, at the corner?
40729_ Scro._ Going to church, eh?
40729_ Scro._ Have they no refuge or resource?
40729_ Scro._ How long since you contracted the debt?
40729_ Scro._ Is it?
40729_ Scro._ Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob?
40729_ Scro._ Long past?
40729_ Scro._ Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live?
40729_ Scro._ The tread- mill and the poor law are in full vigor, then?
40729_ Scro._ To- night?
40729_ Scro._ What else can I be when I live in such a world of fools as this?
40729_ Scro._ What right have you to be passing here to remind me that it is Christmas?
40729_ Scro._ What would you have me do?
40729_ Scro._ What''s to day my fine fellow?
40729_ Scro._ Where have I heard those words?
40729_ Scro._ Who are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who, and what are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who_ were_ you then?
40729_ Scro._ Why did you get married?
40729_ Scro._ Why to a poor one most?
40729_ Scro._ Why, James, how much do you owe me?
40729_ Scro._ You travel fast?
40729_ Spir._ Are there no prisons?
40729_ Spir._ Have never walked forthwith the younger members of my family, meaning-- for I am very young-- my elder brothers, born in these later years?
40729_ Spir._ What is the matter?
40729_ Spir._ What is the matter?
40729_ Spir._ You remember it?
40729_ Stevens._ How are you?
40729_ Topper._ Is it a dog?
40729_ Voice outside._ Eh?
40729_ Voice outside._ What do you take me for?
40729_ Voice outside._ What the one as big as me?
40729_ Young S._ Have I ever sought release?
40729_ Young S._ Home, little Fan?
40729_ Young S._ In what, then?
40729_ Young S._ What idol has displaced you?
40729_ Young S._ What then?
40729_ Young S._ You think not?
40729dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me?
40729may I come in?
40729not coming, on Christmas Day?
40729who''s that?
40729would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give?
40729you boy in your Sunday clothes, what''s to- day?
19337Am I?
19337Am_ I_ that man who lay upon the bed?
19337And how did little Tim behave?
19337And the Union workhouses?
19337And travelling all the time?
19337And what is that upon your cheek?
19337And your brother, Tiny Tim? 19337 Are spirits''lives so short?"
19337Are there no prisons?
19337Are there no prisons?
19337Are there no workhouses?
19337Are they still in operation?
19337Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?
19337Bed- curtains?
19337But why?
19337Can you-- can you sit down?
19337Cold, is n''t it?
19337Could n''t I take''em all at once, and have it over, Jacob?
19337Do you know the Poulterer''s in the next street but one, at the corner?
19337Dreadful apparition, why do you trouble me?
19337EH?
19337Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then? 19337 Have I ever sought release?"
19337Have never walked forth with the younger members of my family; meaning( for I am very young) my elder brothers born in these later years?
19337Have they no refuge or resource?
19337His blankets?
19337Home, little Fan?
19337How are you?
19337How are you?
19337How can I? 19337 I am in the presence of the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come?"
19337I hope he did n''t die of anything catching? 19337 I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can not we be friends?"
19337If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, a wicked old screw,pursued the woman,"why was n''t he natural in his lifetime?
19337In what, then?
19337Is it good,she said,"or bad?"
19337Is it?
19337Is that so, Spirit?
19337Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob?
19337Is there a peculiar flavour in what you sprinkle from your torch?
19337Is your master at home, my dear?
19337Knew what, my dear?
19337Long Past?
19337My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you serious?
19337My dear sir,said Scrooge, quickening his pace, and taking the old gentleman by both his hands,"how do you do?
19337Old Scratch has got his own at last, hey?
19337Or would you know,pursued the Ghost,"the weight and length of the strong coil you bear yourself?
19337Something, I think?
19337Tell me why?
19337The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?
19337To whom will our debt be transferred?
19337Was I apprenticed here?
19337We are quite ruined?
19337What Idol has displaced you?
19337What do you call this?
19337What do you call wasting of it?
19337What do you mean by coming here at this time of day?
19337What do you want with me?
19337What evidence would you have of my reality beyond that of your own senses?
19337What has ever got your precious father, then?
19337What has he done with his money?
19337What is it?
19337What is the matter?
19337What is the matter?
19337What odds, then? 19337 What of that, my dear?"
19337What place is this?
19337What right have you to be dismal? 19337 What then?"
19337What''s to- day, my fine fellow?
19337What''s to- day?
19337When did he die?
19337Where is he, my love?
19337Who and what are you?
19337Who are you?
19337Who was it?
19337Who_ were_ you, then?
19337Whose else''s do you think?
19337Why did you get married?
19337Why do you doubt your senses?
19337Why do you point away?
19337Why not?
19337Why to a poor one most?
19337Why, what was the matter with him?
19337Why, where''s our Martha?
19337Why?
19337Would it apply to any kind of dinner on this day?
19337You do n''t mean that, I am sure?
19337You do n''t mean to say you took''em down, rings and all, with him lying there?
19337You recollect the way?
19337You see this toothpick?
19337You travel fast?
19337You wish to be anonymous?
19337You''ll want all day to- morrow, I suppose?
19337''Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe?''
19337Admiration was the universal sentiment, though some objected that the reply to"Is it a bear?"
19337And what''s his name, who was put down in his drawers, asleep, at the gate of Damascus; do n''t you see him?
19337Are these the shadows of the things that Will be, or are they shadows of the things that May be only?"
19337Assure me that I yet may change these shadows you have shown me by an altered life?"
19337Avarice, hard dealing, griping cares?
19337But what did Scrooge care?
19337But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?"
19337Dilber?"
19337Do you know whether they''ve sold the prize Turkey that was hanging up there?--Not the little prize Turkey: the big one?"
19337Eh?"
19337Have I not?"
19337Have you had many brothers, Spirit?"
19337He thought, if this man could be raised up now, what would be his foremost thoughts?
19337How are you?
19337How could it be otherwise?
19337If I was to stop half- a- crown for it, you''d think yourself ill used, I''ll be bound?"
19337If this had never been between us,"said the girl, looking mildly, but with steadiness, upon him,"tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
19337Is it a foot or a claw?"
19337Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow?"
19337Is it not?
19337Is its pattern strange to_ you_?"
19337Is that so much that he deserves this praise?"
19337Marley?"
19337Merciful Heaven, what is this?"
19337Nobody ever stopped him in the street to say, with gladsome looks,"My dear Scrooge, how are you?
19337Not a dead man, I suppose?"
19337Not to sea?
19337Say that his power lies in words and looks; in things so slight and insignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up: what then?
19337Scrooge knew he was dead?
19337Scrooge?"
19337Suppose we make up a party, and volunteer?"
19337Tell me what man that was whom we saw lying dead?"
19337Thackeray wrote of it:"Who can listen to objections regarding such a book as this?
19337The Spirit did not tarry here, but bade Scrooge hold his robe, and, passing on above the moor, sped whither?
19337The colour?
19337Tut, do n''t I know?"
19337We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose?"
19337Were there no poor homes to which its light would have conducted_ me_?"
19337What business had_ he_ to be married to the Princess?"
19337What do_ you_ say, Topper?"
19337What good had it ever done to him?
19337What reason have you to be merry?
19337What reason have you to be morose?
19337What right have you to be merry?
19337What shall I put you down for?"
19337What then?
19337What was merry Christmas to Scrooge?
19337What''s the consequence?
19337When will you come to see me?"
19337Where had Scrooge heard those words?
19337Who suffers by his ill whims?
19337Who''s next?"
19337Who''s the wiser?
19337Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these?
19337Why did he not go on?
19337Why did his cold eye glisten, and his heart leap up as they went past?
19337Why do you delight to torture me?"
19337Why give it as a reason for not coming now?"
19337Why show me this, if I am past all hope?"
19337Why was he rejoiced beyond all bounds to see them?
19337Will you come and see me?"
19337Will you decide what men shall live, what men shall die?
19337Will you do me that favour?"
19337Will you let me in, Fred?"
19337Will you not speak to me?"
19337You are not a skater, I suppose?"
19337You went to- day, then, Robert?"
19337[ Illustration:_"You recollect the way?"
19337are they yours?"
19337cried Fred,"who''s that?"
19337cried a cheerful voice._]"What else can I be,"returned the uncle,"when I live in such a world of fools as this?
19337exclaimed the Ghost,"would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give?
19337replied the Ghost,"do you believe in me or not?"
19337the one as big as me?"
38277''Can we settle down here a bit?'' 38277 ''How is it going to end?''
38277''Where''s that?'' 38277 A bagatelle?"
38277A runaway match, eh? 38277 Ai n''t he a smartie?
38277All right and safe, shepherd?
38277All together?
38277And I suppose you are going to give it up?
38277And if not?
38277And now, sir, do you mean to tell me that brains go for nothing in this land of contrariety?
38277And that is?
38277And the candle? 38277 And the very young lady--?"
38277And when is the hunt?
38277And would he just take a drink and come back?
38277And you used to know my father, sir?
38277And you''re going to be installed as King of the North Tower?
38277Anything else for me?
38277Anything for dinner, George?
38277Archie,he said,"in this land of contrarieties does the moon sometimes rise in the south?"
38277Are they very ugly?
38277Are you going to make yours?
38277Are you steering by blazed trees?
38277Australia is a very wonderful place, is n''t it?
38277Ay, ay, Master Archie; but do n''t you know me?
38277Ay, lad, did n''t I say we would meet again?
38277Been tumbling again off that pony of yours?
38277Bless me, sir, why should I? 38277 Bob,"said Archie one evening, as they all sat round the hearth before retiring to bed,"that fire looks awfully cosy, does n''t it?
38277But how could ye hae the heart to scare an old wife sae, Master Archie?
38277But how on earth did you get here at all, the pair of you?
38277But is it not time we were returning?
38277But should I allow it to be so? 38277 But would you believe it, in this very forest I was a week mad?"
38277But you do n''t feel any the worse for having completely changed your habits, do you?
38277But you do n''t think we should go any faster?
38277Ca n''t I, Branson? 38277 Call that''ere donkey a heider duck?
38277Can you ride?
38277Could he track them?
38277D''ye wish to see''m, sir?
38277Did the Ann hen eat the crust?
38277Did the whiskey kill the poison?
38277Did you kill the magpie, Archie?
38277Did you wait for us?
38277Did you want to see papa? 38277 Do n''t it seem like it?"
38277Do n''t_ I_, Walton?
38277Do you come from Jenkins''s about those bills?
38277Do you know them, Master Archie?
38277Do you really love him?
38277Do you think so?
38277Does it pay to breed cockatoos?
38277Does she now?
38277Etheldene, have him for a brother, will you?
38277Ever hear more of your assailants?
38277Father and you have known Craig long?
38277Fight_ you_? 38277 Fives in forty thousand?
38277Friends, hey?
38277Going for a little houting, hey? 38277 Going to seek your fortune?"
38277Had anybody found gold in this rush? 38277 Had you any idea of it?"
38277Hain''t I what?
38277Have n''t ye? 38277 Have n''t you, Sarah?"
38277Have you fainted, mummy? 38277 Have you got an appetite, Mr Broadbent?
38277Hey?
38277Honour bright? 38277 How best can I thank you?"
38277How can you speak thus?
38277How long did you know her, Bob, before you asked her the momentous question?
38277How long do you think it will be before you get into another scrape?
38277How much loose cash have you, Bob?
38277How old are you now, Master Archie?
38277How will you get him down?
38277I really could n''t leave Sydney without saying ta- ta, and expressing my sorrow for breaking--"Your indenture, young sir?
38277I should have said, Toys suitable for what age?
38277I think I do,said Squire Broadbent, laughing;"and you want to see my boy?"
38277I wonder,said Craig at last;"if my life is really worth the care that you and all the good people here have lavished on me?"
38277In a brown study, Archie?
38277In the van? 38277 Installed, father?
38277Is it a dreadfully wild place, Mr Brown?
38277Is it going to be a long job, think you, Bob?
38277Is it not a lovely one?
38277Is n''t it strange he does n''t rise from the ranks, as one might say; that he does n''t get on?
38277Is she dead?
38277Is that fair to the blacks?
38277Is your father in?
38277Is_ that_ all? 38277 It is rather; eh, Johnnie?"
38277It_ is_ a donkey, ai n''t it, Johnnie?
38277Justice?
38277Latin and Greek, eh? 38277 Monarch of all he surveys?"
38277My gun, Branson?
38277My heye, Johnnie Raw,he roared,"vere did yer steal the moke?"
38277My what, sir?
38277No, Sarah,replied Archie, laughing;"I''m not going to marry you; but I''ve hopes of a good situation, and--""Is that all?"
38277No; because they would always say to us,''You''re going Bush way, are n''t ye, boys?'' 38277 No?"
38277Nothing to do yet, sir?
38277Nothink to do yet, sir?
38277Now, Baby,said Craig, handing Etheldene a warm rug,"will you be pleased to retire?"
38277Oh, I know that,said Archie;"but is n''t it lowering our name to keep such company?"
38277Oh, yes, any amount; but--"But what, sir?
38277One exception?
38277One man killed, you say, Allan?
38277Put it out for me?
38277Safe? 38277 Shall I describe to you, Miss Winslow,"he said,"some of the wild sights of Whitechapel?"
38277Shall we have such a sky as that to greet our arrival on English shores?
38277So it''s you, is it, Bounder?
38277So you''ll be ten years old to- morrow, Archie?
38277So your friend''s going to the Bush, and going to take you with him, eh?
38277Starvation, Bob?
38277Suppose I were in a difficulty, from what you have seen of me would you help me out if you could?
38277Tell me your story: may I not hear it?
38277That would n''t be very genteel, would it?
38277The child?
38277The speciality, young sir?
38277Them''s your sentiments, eh? 38277 There is plenty of gold there?"
38277There were two of them?
38277Think so? 38277 To Oxford?"
38277Too expensive? 38277 Toy, do you call it, sir?"
38277Was that what you came in to tell us, Mary?
38277Well, Archie, what will you do else to- morrow?
38277Well, Johnnie, and how are ye? 38277 Well, birdie, what is it?
38277Well, root by root you said, did n''t you?
38277Well, sir?
38277Well, why could n''t father let me have Tell to- morrow? 38277 Well, youngster, how are you?
38277Well,said the Squire,"certainly Bob Cooper is a rough nut, but who knows what his heart may be like?"
38277What Bob? 38277 What are peelers?
38277What are you going to do all?
38277What are you going to do?
38277What are you going to leave me, old man? 38277 What did he do?"
38277What did you come for, Bill? 38277 What does that mean?"
38277What else shall I teach you?
38277What have you done?
38277What is it? 38277 What is sissie looking at?"
38277What is that, Branson? 38277 What is the speciality?"
38277What is to be done with her?
38277What is your name?
38277What next, I wonder?
38277What next?
38277What shall I teach you next?
38277What shall I teach you, eh? 38277 What was it?
38277What was that, Harry?
38277What would your father say to a sight like that?
38277What''s that, eh? 38277 What''s to hinder me?"
38277What, Archie Broadbent, you do n''t mean to say you''re married?
38277What, father? 38277 What, rougher than me or Harry?"
38277What, the chaps who tried to bail us up? 38277 What_ you_, Miss?"
38277Whatever does he mean,said stalwart Bob,"by finishing Eth, and doing the job?"
38277When-- when did ye say it had happened?
38277Where did you keep your gold?
38277Where is Mr Glorie, Mr Myers?
38277Where is my flat candlestick?
38277Where is your master, Mr--?
38277Where next, sir?
38277Where, then?
38277Which did you mean was the bagatelle-- my life, or the saving of it?
38277Which do you mean is the bagatelle, Etheldene, my life, or the saving of it?
38277Which of you will come with me?
38277Who is that?
38277Who said I was going to die? 38277 Who-- oo--''s-- Who''s there?"
38277Who?
38277Why do they not keep back? 38277 Why do you want to make your will?"
38277Why not? 38277 Why should we weep to sail in search of fortune?"
38277Why,said Etheldene,"you do n''t mean to say the snake bit off half your little finger?"
38277Why?
38277Will you take this letter to him?
38277Wishing, Elsie? 38277 Work at last?"
38277Would n''t you like to be old really?
38277Would you really like to be?
38277Ye ken my little pantry? 38277 Yes, dad?"
38277Yes,said Archie,"ten is terribly old, I know; but is it quite a man though?
38277You are sure you can find your way back, I suppose?
38277You did?
38277You have cravings at certain times, then?
38277You know in what way?
38277You mean you_ might_ break Tell''s, eh?
38277You see those boys?
38277You wo n''t get killed, or anything, Archie?
38277You''re going in quest of adventure?
38277You''re most too young, ai n''t ye?
38277You''re sure, Mr Craig, you winna tak''a wee drappie?
38277You''ve never been to sea before, have you?
38277Your tally, your name, and the rest of it?
38277''Fraid I go and leave you too long?"
38277''In a few years?''
38277''In a few years?''
38277About what age, sir?"
38277All for the sake of sweet little Etheldene?
38277And do n''t you see that this will be only the beginning of the end?
38277And how is mother and father?"
38277And we would answer,''Why, ai n''t we there now?''
38277And what is his name?"
38277And what words of comfort could Archie speak?
38277And why did n''t the birds sing sometimes?
38277And why not?
38277And why should n''t he have been?
38277And your tally?"
38277Are there any snakes in Whitechapel?"
38277Are you all ready?
38277Are you ready, Baby?"
38277Aristocratic?
38277Bob was not among them, but who could tell that he would not join afterwards?
38277Bobbish, eh?
38277But do n''t you know there is such a thing as being too honest?
38277But do n''t you think, mummie dear, that a long boy on a short pony looks odd?"
38277But how about the new phase the fight had taken?
38277But how am I to account for the happiness-- nay, even joyfulness-- that appeared to be infused in the young man''s very blood and soul?
38277But how to get him out?
38277But how was it to be done?
38277But it could n''t surely have been at him?
38277But now, Branson, how are we all to get home?"
38277But the chain?"
38277But were there any aristocrats in Sydney?
38277But what about the Squire''s new- fangled notions?
38277But what are they out here, after all?
38277But what made you expect me to- day?"
38277But who was that young lady close by his left hand?
38277But who would have it otherwise?
38277But, you see, we''re far away in the Bush, and baby will grow out of gum- rings and rattles, wo n''t she, into dolls and dung- carts?
38277Can yer fight?
38277Could n''t you be a good man if you liked?
38277D''ye reckon we''ll leave you here, now we''ve found you?
38277D''ye see?
38277D''ye twig?"
38277D''ye understand?"
38277Did you send him back his fifty pounds?"
38277Do n''t you see?"
38277Do you remember, ever so long ago in the Bush, when I was a baby in downright earnest, how you used to sing a lullaby to me outside my wee tent?"
38277Do you see?"
38277Do you think such a thing is possible, Bob?"
38277Does that interest you?"
38277Drink?
38277Eh?
38277Feel a kind o''bushed, do n''t ye?"
38277H''m?
38277Had we not better return?
38277Has he been hurt?"
38277Have n''t swallowed yer teeth, hey?"
38277Have ye killed anybody?"
38277Have you darned those holes in your gloves?"
38277Have you ever, reader, been startled on a bright sunshiny summer''s day by a thunder peal?
38277Have you?"
38277He''s been gi''en someone else a turn I s''pose, eh?"
38277Heaven?
38277Hey?
38277Hey?"
38277How could they help it?
38277How did they brain people, he was wondering, with a boomerang or nullah?
38277How long have you been here?"
38277How long was I ill, Bob?"
38277How were the new young folks to spend theirs?
38277I hope you are hungry?
38277I say, Archie, who''ll we ask?"
38277I say, Johnnie?"
38277I say, Sarah, we''ll have to send''the vision''to a slap- up lady''s school one of these days, wo n''t us?"
38277I say, you did n''t find the streets of Sydney paved with gold, eh?"
38277I says,''that in this free and enlightened land a man is put into gaol if he snares a rabbit?''
38277I sha n''t be altogether quite a man to- morrow, shall I?"
38277I should n''t like to put away my bow and arrow-- what say, mum?
38277I suppose you know that potatoes do n''t grow on trees, nor geese upon gooseberry- bushes?"
38277I--""I say, brother, had n''t you better trust to Providence, and wait for a fair wind?"
38277Iconoclast?
38277If anything should turn up, where shall I communicate?"
38277Is Etheldene going too?"
38277Is he now?
38277Is it not awful?"
38277Is it the correct thing to tip waiters?
38277Is n''t it sweet, Bob?"
38277Is that fair, Johnnie?"
38277Is''pose now you''re Johnnie''s guv''nor?"
38277It was no time to ask the question, Who was in fault?
38277It''s great fun, is n''t it?"
38277Last year it was the blacks, the year before he was visited by bushrangers, was n''t he?"
38277Let me see, Rupert, it is going on for six years, is n''t it?"
38277Master Archie, is n''t it?
38277May I try to explain this by a little homely experiment, which you yourself may also perform?
38277Monkeys?"
38277Nearly?
38277No?
38277Now what about that Chillingham bull?
38277Now who is this, think you?"
38277Now, what''s your will, sir?"
38277Now, who was in the fault?
38277Of course he is going to make his fortune, but how is he going to begin?
38277Oh, here goes?"
38277Oh, what has my laddie been doin''?"
38277Only, as Bob said,"It was but one day in his life, why should n''t he make the best of it?"
38277Or is it my dead mother''s spirit speaking through my heart?
38277Other fellows have been fortunate in a few years, why should n''t I?
38277Quite old, is n''t it?
38277Referring to these, Archie remarked to Craig, who was riding by his side:"Are they not grotesquely beautiful?"
38277Rupert, what does that mean?"
38277Say, young man, what''ll ye drink?"
38277Scallowa?"
38277See that, miss?"
38277See the joke?"
38277See?"
38277Shall I face it?
38277Shall I own myself a coward in this one thing?
38277Shall he tip this waiter fellow?
38277Shall we''ave it hout now wi''the raw uns?
38277Something in the South, in or about London, or Deal, or Dover, but what did it matter?
38277That''s it, d''ye see?"
38277The bear said,''All right, mother; but how is it done?''
38277The breakfast, Mary?
38277Then the curtain was pushed aside, and in dashed-- what?
38277Then why the wild birds, and the hares and rabbits?
38277Was he any the less liked or less respected by his servants, because he and his boy tossed hay in the same field with them?
38277Was she not going to be Rupert''s wife, and his own second sister?
38277Was the forest on fire again?
38277Was there any real blue blood in the place?
38277Well, there''s been a board doon on the fleer for ages o''man, and to- day it was taken out to be scrubbit, and what think ye was reveeled?"
38277Were all his dreams of future fortune to fade and pass away like this-- nothing to do?
38277What are ye my- dearing me for?"
38277What did he see in the fire?
38277What did it mean?
38277What did you want at my mother''s hoose?"
38277What do you say, Walton?"
38277What does it matter?
38277What good were they?
38277What is it, poor Kate?"
38277What is it?"
38277What is that down yonder rising white over the trees?
38277What is that reflection over yonder?"
38277What is"damper"?
38277What more natural, therefore, than a longing on the part of Lord Glendale to examine the little horse_ inside_ as well as out?
38277What prospects have you?"
38277What say, old chummie?"
38277What should he do if he failed?
38277What then?
38277What were you wishing?"
38277What would be his reception here?
38277What would it profit them then that they had speared a few white fellows?"
38277What''s the matter?
38277What''s their names?"
38277What, Sarah, too much done?
38277What_ is_ the good of a fortune to a fellow after he gets old, and all worn down with gout and rheumatism?
38277When I saw you first you were just a--""A hobbledehoy?"
38277When they had gone some little distance, quite out of hearing of the camp, Rupert spoke:"Do you mind kneeling down here,"he said,"to pray, Archie?"
38277Where are your other books?
38277Where did you go?"
38277Where do you think I found him?"
38277Where have you been?
38277Where should he communicate?
38277Where was anything but a long sable stream of something feathering through the snow?
38277Where was it not?
38277Where was the shoulder?
38277Where?
38277Whither away?
38277Who is to be the commander of this little force?"
38277Who put that in your head?"
38277Whom does the little herd belong to?"
38277Why did his master go off and leave him then?
38277Why had he not loved it even more than he did when it was yet all around him?
38277Why should he starve in a city of plenty?
38277Why should she not?
38277Why should they fight?
38277Why was it, I wonder, that Archie paid a visit to several outfitters''shops in Brisbane, and made so many purchases?
38277Why, what do you mean, Bob?"
38277Will that do, my proud young son of a proud old sire?"
38277Will the waiter think him green if he does, or green if he does n''t?
38277Will ye promise?"
38277Will you come with me, Mr Broadbent?"
38277Will you come, Mr Broadbent?"
38277Will you leave a message?"
38277Will you walk down with me to the cattle- sheds?"
38277Wo n''t it be fun, just?"
38277Wo n''t you, Roup?"
38277Wot about your eider duck?
38277Would he come?
38277Would he dare it?
38277Would he, could he, get on shore to- night?
38277Would n''t you like father was rich again?"
38277Would n''t you like to see him with roses on his face, mother, and a brow as brown as a postage stamp?
38277Would she come?
38277Would you like him to be as full of health as an egg is full of meat?
38277Would you like him to have a frame of iron, with muscles as tough as a mainstay?
38277Write home for more?
38277Yet why sigh?
38277You are not going back with me to Burley Old Farm?"
38277You do n''t imagine for a single moment, do you, that I''ll forget the dear old times, and you all?
38277You do n''t think that I_ wo n''t_ make my fortune, do you?
38277You wo n''t turn him into the west field?"
38277Your father''s weel, I suppose?
38277Your friend?
38277_ Are n''t_ you proud?"
38277_ Tableaux_ of his past life?
38277a bit of carrot?
38277and so happy that he would have to get up at nights to sing?
38277and what have you been doing?"
38277and you''re the little London lad?"
38277cried Bob,"you want me to bail up?"
38277he cried,"Captain Vesey?"
38277he said at the hall door, when he met Mr Walton,"am I to have my tutor with me_ to- day_?"
38277how could he?
38277into that mob?
38277is n''t it?
38277means?
38277or was it not more common to spear them?
38277she said,"I hope Robert has n''t got into trouble again?"
38277should he ever see it again?
38277what is this?
38277what was_ one_ London shilling dinner to the like o''me?
38277where is the chick- a- biddy?"
38277you a son of Charlie Broadbent?
38277you cry,''deprive me of my children?''
38277you know, the poor have not much to make them happy and to cheer their loneliness, so why begrudge the widow her morsel of tobacco?
37463About Wythe? 37463 Ah, you walk, do you?
37463Ai n''t you Miss Carrie Warwick''s chile, honey? 37463 Alan''s infatuation-- for he is infatuated, is n''t he?"
37463All because he likes to read his plays to her?
37463And Cousin Matty tells me that you are going away to camp?
37463And afterwards? 37463 And did he tell you why?"
37463And does she know? 37463 And does your Aunt Mary want something too?"
37463And happy, darling?
37463And he talked to you about such things?
37463And how will he know if God has appointed him?
37463And is Alan his heir?
37463And is that a very long time?
37463And she said nothing about to- night?
37463And that I came out to meet him?
37463And what did you tell him?
37463And why, if I may ask?
37463And yet David believed that you were meeting him?
37463And you ask me to send Alan away because you are jealous? 37463 And you believe that the South is ready for another party?
37463And you have never met him before? 37463 And you take what the doctor gives you too?"
37463And you think she ought to be warned?
37463And you think that a public quarrel would clear it?
37463And you will think of yourself? 37463 Angelica, ca n''t you see that this has gone too far, this nonsense of Alan''s?"
37463Are n''t you every one except Cousin Charles? 37463 Are you all right again, Mary?"
37463Are you ill?
37463Are you really going out in this cold? 37463 Are you sure you ought n''t to say something to Angelica?"
37463As if it mattered how things look? 37463 Ask that Rip Van Winkle, Miss Meade, if he was asleep while we made a new constitution and eliminated the vote of the negroes?
37463At the cost of your career? 37463 But I thought you nursed all the Fitzhughs?
37463But did n''t she care anything for him?
37463But do n''t you need rest? 37463 But even then?
37463But father says it is a war to end war,Letty replied, and her next question was,"But if you want to fight, why do you want to end war?"
37463But how do I know that these are n''t the shadows of mother and of Margaret?
37463But if you go and Alan goes and Uncle Roane goes, what will become of mother?
37463But she knows, does n''t she?
37463But what does it mean? 37463 But what is the truth?"
37463But why should Mr. Blackburn have wanted her to go? 37463 But why?"
37463But you knew I''d gone out to see Mandy? 37463 But you seemed so happy there?"
37463By the way, have you got your costume for the tableaux? 37463 By the way, is it true about Blackburn''s vaulting ambition, or is it just newspaper stuff?"
37463Ca n''t you hear it?
37463Ca n''t you see that Miss Meade is provoked with you?
37463Can you imagine me wearing the finest emeralds in America?
37463Can you see the garden?
37463Can you stay long now? 37463 Can you understand,"Angelica gazed at her as if she were probing her soul,"what his attraction is for women?"
37463Could the war have changed her? 37463 Could you tell her, do you think?"
37463David, do you really think we are going to have war?
37463David, may I come in? 37463 David,"he asked in a curiously inanimate voice,"have you heard the things people are saying about you?"
37463David,said the housekeeper bluntly,"do n''t you think that this thing has been going on long enough?"
37463David,she began in a pleading tone,"are n''t you going to have tea with me?"
37463Did John put in the bag?
37463Did he say he would tell Angelica?
37463Did he tell you just what political capital he expects to make out of my discharging him? 37463 Did it, darling?
37463Did she say that?
37463Did she tell you that?
37463Did you ever see any one in your life look so lovely?
37463Did you find Mary?
37463Did you have a good time, darling?
37463Did you know that Angelica was coming back?
37463Did you order the car, Mammy Riah?
37463Do I know why?
37463Do I, darling? 37463 Do I?"
37463Do n''t you think it would be better to talk first to Mary?
37463Do n''t you think now we have done all that is necessary?
37463Do n''t you think she would make an adorable Peace?
37463Do n''t you think we can manage to keep out of it?
37463Do you call his plays nonsense?
37463Do you know why? 37463 Do you like David Blackburn?"
37463Do you like nothing for yourself? 37463 Do you mean she would want to come back?"
37463Do you mean with me?
37463Do you need anything?
37463Do you never put down your knitting?
37463Do you suppose I am the kind of woman to talk of a man''s being''taken away,''as if he were a loaf of bread to be handed from one woman to another? 37463 Do you suppose mother will come back now that you have?"
37463Do you suppose she really believes what she says?
37463Do you think Alan is hoping for it?
37463Do you think I am going to be well, Mammy?
37463Do you think Miss Meade is an angel, Uncle Roane?
37463Do you think Mr. Blackburn feels as strongly as he talks?
37463Do you think it is ambition with him? 37463 Do you think it is warm enough in here, Miss Meade?"
37463Do you think it will do David any real harm?
37463Do you think she has forgotten to come for us?
37463Do you want anything, darling? 37463 Do you want anything?"
37463Do you want to come in with me, Letty?
37463Do you want to come in?
37463Do you wish anything?
37463Does anybody follow him, or is he all alone?
37463Does n''t it bring it all back again?
37463Does she faint often?
37463Does that matter? 37463 Even our fairest dreams-- the dream of individual freedom-- what has become of it?
37463Every gift is better that includes sacrifice, do n''t you feel? 37463 Father fought for his country, did n''t he?"
37463Father knew life,she thought,"I wonder what he would have seen in all this?
37463Father, will you go to war if Uncle Roane does?
37463Father, wo n''t you please give Ridley his work again?
37463Free to sink, or to swim with the current?
37463From Briarlay?
37463Good of me? 37463 Had n''t you better go to bed, Mammy Riah?"
37463Has Alan said anything to you about it?
37463Has John got the bag?
37463Has Mary gone out of the room?
37463Has anybody hurt your feelings?
37463Has mother come in?
37463Has she fallen asleep so quickly?
37463Has there been any change?
37463Has there ever been a time when I did not understand?
37463Have you decided when you will be married?
37463Have you heard anything of her?
37463Have you known Mrs. Blackburn long?
37463Have you noticed that Mary is not well?
37463Have you said anything to Angelica?
37463Have you said anything to Angelica?
37463Have you some aromatic ammonia at hand, Miss Meade? 37463 He does?
37463He told you that?
37463How can I be happy?
37463How can she be? 37463 How could I know?
37463How could you hurt me?
37463How dare you think such a thing of me?
37463How in the world shall I ever speak to him after this?
37463How indeed? 37463 How is Letty?"
37463How long has she had it?
37463How on earth could you have got such an idea?
37463How shall I ever stay under the same roof with him?
37463I am so glad, dear, but there has n''t been anything to hurt you, has there? 37463 I came to ask you,"she said very quietly,"if it would not be better to tell Mrs. Blackburn the truth about Letty?"
37463I came to see if you could come out for the night? 37463 I do n''t mean the box garden, I mean the real garden where the flowers are?"
37463I heard him say so, but do n''t you think you had better put on a wrap? 37463 I hope the sound of politics will not frighten you?"
37463I know you''ve never tasted the delight of stolen fishing in the creek under the willows?
37463I know--''Brother Charles''--but who are the Ashburtons?
37463I mean will you give me money?
37463I remember-- and blackberry wine in blue glasses?
37463I should have stopped what?
37463I stopped by to bring you the lace edging you needed, and to ask if you have finished any of the little pillow slips? 37463 I suppose everything is fair in politics, but it does seem a little underhand of Colfax does n''t it?
37463I suppose he is anxious about Letty?
37463I suppose they forgot to tell John,she thought,"or can it be the doctor so soon?"
37463I think we are about to break off diplomatic relations----"And that means war, does n''t it?
37463I thought you were doing a muffler?
37463I wish I knew what you are talking about,said Angelica wearily,"Roane, do you get out here?"
37463I wonder how Letty is getting on?
37463I wonder if he used to do it once, and if he has stopped because he has seen deeper than any of the others?
37463I wonder if it would n''t be better just to let him make his breaks and not notice them? 37463 I wonder if she is ever afraid that she may lose him?
37463I wonder why some woman has n''t killed him before this? 37463 I''d like to know why I am not?"
37463I''ll tell him at breakfast, but ought n''t Letty''s mother to know how anxious I am?
37463I''m dying for my tea, dear, is n''t it ready?
37463I''ve often wondered,said the younger Mrs. Colfax,"if Roane Fitzhugh is as bad as people say he is?"
37463If it is really necessary----?
37463If we were not so poor I''d go to France,she reflected,"but how could they possibly do without the hundred dollars a month I can earn?"
37463In a case like this, do n''t you think, dear Mrs. Ashburton, that a woman owes a duty to humanity?
37463In the nursery?
37463Is Letty really so ill? 37463 Is Mr. Blackburn obliged to go with us?"
37463Is Mr. Wythe coming?
37463Is anything the matter?
37463Is anything wrong, dear?
37463Is everything being done that is possible?
37463Is father an angel too?
37463Is it possible that she is capable of an evasion?
37463Is it possible that you think this was a meeting? 37463 Is it really as grave as we fear, Miss Meade?"
37463Is it strong enough to overturn the old prejudices?
37463Is it true that Alan will be one of the richest men in the West?
37463Is it true? 37463 Is n''t Friday almost here now?"
37463Is n''t it strange,said Caroline,"that the nice people never seem to have enough money and the disagreeable ones seem to have a great deal too much?
37463Is n''t it true that you felt an interest-- that you were trying to help him?
37463Is n''t she the one to send him away?
37463Is n''t there anything that you can say, David?
37463Is she awake?
37463Is she often like this?
37463Is that all?
37463Is there a baby? 37463 Is there any medicine that she is accustomed to take?"
37463Is there any trouble?
37463Is there anything else?
37463Is you gwine away, honey?
37463Is you''bleeged ter go?
37463It is constructive work, not fighting now, is n''t it?
37463It is the machinery of war-- but, after all, what does it matter if it only helps to win?
37463It seemed too cruel-- but was n''t that just what Mrs. Timberlake meant when she said that Mr. Blackburn''would n''t mince matters?''
37463It would make you happier if she came back?
37463It''s funny, is n''t it, the way life works out?
37463Letty, darling, are you better?
37463Mary,he said suddenly,"what is the trouble?
37463May I have a puff and a tart too, mother?
37463May I pour it for you? 37463 May I take Miss Meade with me?"
37463Miss Meade, did you get a chance to speak to David?
37463Miss Meade, do you remember the story about the little girl who got lost and went to live with the fairies? 37463 Miss Meade, have you the time?
37463Miss Meade, will you make me a promise?
37463Miss Meade, will you please come as quickly as you can?
37463Mr. Wythe? 37463 No, why should he tell me?
37463Not about that; but considering the uncertainty of the immediate future, do n''t you think we might try, in some way, to cut down a bit?
37463Nothing, I mean, that I may say to your sister?
37463Of course he is a Democrat?
37463Of you?
37463Oh, Doctor, she is n''t really so ill, is she?
37463Oh, Miss Meade, do you think I am going to be well for Aunt Mary''s wedding?
37463Oh, Miss Meade, was n''t it perfectly awful last evening?
37463Oh, are you still trying to deceive me?
37463Oh, but do n''t you see that this hurts me most of all?
37463Oh, is Aunt Mary really going to be married at last?
37463Oh, it''s all rot, I know, but how the deuce does such tittle- tattle get started? 37463 Oh, mother does n''t want one,"returned the child:"The big ones are hers, are n''t they, father?"
37463Oh, she''ll make him want her-- or try to----"Do you think she can?
37463Oh, what are you saying? 37463 Order the car?"
37463People do change, do n''t they?
37463Perhaps, then, there is no need of my speaking to her?
37463Ridley? 37463 Say something?
37463See through things? 37463 She ca n''t be doing it just to pose as an ill- treated wife?
37463She says she wants to come back?
37463So it is Alan now? 37463 So you think if someone were to mention it?"
37463Take that up to the second floor, John, and ask Mrs. Ridley if she got the yarn I sent for the socks?
37463That one thing is the only thing?
37463The British navy, you mean? 37463 The fundamental thing?"
37463The news is good, is n''t it?
37463Then I may assume that the worst is still to be told you?
37463Then I must laugh a great deal for you, Letty, and the more we laugh together the happier we''ll be, sha n''t we?
37463Then if you are n''t afraid of me, why do you avoid me?
37463Then it is n''t really pneumonia?
37463Then perhaps Miss Meade and Letty may take pity on me?
37463Then she did n''t get the divorce?
37463Then she wo n''t be expecting you?
37463Then things must go on, as they are, to the-- end?
37463Then why do you ask me? 37463 Then why does n''t Mrs. Blackburn know about them?"
37463Then you must be Mammy Riah? 37463 Then you no longer care for him?"
37463Then you refuse positively to let me send Miss Meade away?
37463There is a fighting chance, is n''t there?
37463There is no doubt about war, is there?
37463There is no trouble about Alan, is there? 37463 There is nothing else, is there?"
37463There is something else then?
37463These meetings?
37463This nonsense?
37463This thing?
37463To Washington?
37463To how many ends?
37463To keep out of it?
37463To warn me?
37463Unconditionally?
37463Understand what?
37463Until the end of the war?
37463Was Cousin Matty up there?
37463Was n''t it funny?
37463Was she always so delicate?
37463Well, I suppose they would n''t have been happy together----"Do you know why she did it?
37463Well, I''ve waited awhile, have n''t I?
37463Well, after all, why should I decline? 37463 Well, daughter, it is n''t a birthday, is it?"
37463Well, how in the world are they going to find out any more than they are told? 37463 Well, if Angelica enjoys them?"
37463Well, if mother is an angel, why are n''t you one? 37463 Well, it takes some sense to manage it, you must admit?"
37463Well, the old chap''s in town, is n''t he?
37463Well, what is the trouble now? 37463 Were you asleep, father?"
37463What are the stories?
37463What can we do, Miss Meade, to help you?
37463What difference does it make if the whole world is going to ruin?
37463What does she say?
37463What does that word mean, father?
37463What has Miss Meade to do with it?
37463What has happened? 37463 What has life done to you?"
37463What has made the trouble, Mary?
37463What is the war about, Alan?
37463What searching eyes that man has,she observed carelessly, and added immediately,"You know him?"
37463What was there she could gain by it?
37463Where are we going now, mother?
37463Where did you find it?
37463Who has told you that?
37463Who knows?
37463Why are you always so busy, mother?
37463Why do n''t they try to find out the truth?
37463Why has n''t any one told her?
37463Why not?
37463Why would n''t it be fair, mother?
37463Why, Caroline, what on earth?
37463Will she?
37463Will there be many people?
37463Will they be dead, mother?
37463Will you let me go, David?
37463Will you promise me,he said,"that whatever happens, as long as it is possible, you will stay with Letty?"
37463Will you take her to town? 37463 Will you take me to- morrow?"
37463Will you telegraph your mother from the station?
37463Wo n''t you sit down,he asked, and then he threw himself into a chair, and added cheerfully,"What is it, daughter?
37463Wo n''t you tell Letty good- bye?
37463Yet I never see you reading?
37463You ai n''t mad wid Marse David, is you?
37463You are going away? 37463 You are going to France?"
37463You are n''t blaming David, are you, dear?
37463You are so trustworthy that it is a comfort to talk to you, and then we both feel, do n''t we, dear?
37463You ca n''t believe that Angelica really knew Letty was so ill?
37463You dare to say this to me-- you who refused to send Miss Meade away though I begged you to----"To send Miss Meade away?
37463You do n''t really think we''re conjured, Mammy?
37463You expect to go away?
37463You feel that she is better?
37463You had n''t heard? 37463 You have been out, Miss Meade?"
37463You have been out?
37463You have n''t gone away, father?
37463You look just a bit seedy, do n''t you? 37463 You mean easier because you pity her?
37463You mean he has been flattered because she has let him read his plays to her?
37463You mean she told him that about me just to spare herself?
37463You mean she would sacrifice me like this? 37463 You mean the old man in Chicago----?"
37463You mean to the Senate? 37463 You mean wait until they drop bombs on New York instead of London?"
37463You mean you did not know he was coming to- day?
37463You mean you think he did n''t make her go?
37463You mean you''d stay and fight it out?
37463You mean you''ll speak to Angelica?
37463You mean, then, that she did it just to hurt me?
37463You really think so? 37463 You saw Mrs. Blackburn?
37463You say there has n''t been any change?
37463You see how it is?
37463You think it will be over before we get an army to France?
37463You think now that she may get well in time? 37463 You think the child would be happier if she were here?"
37463You thought so? 37463 You wo n''t think of going away now, will you?"
37463You''ve never led a band of little darkeys across a cornfield at sunrise?
37463You''ve stopped motoring with Angelica, have n''t you?
37463Your maid? 37463 Yours?"
37463_ Why should she have done it? 37463 A cry that was half a sob burst from her lips, and lifting her head, she demanded with passionate reproach and regret,Why did nobody tell me?
37463A lovers''quarrel?"
37463A peace Colonel does n''t amount to much, does he?"
37463A very small baby?"
37463Admiration is the breath of life to her, and-- and-- oh, why_ should she have done it_?
37463After all, that''s just what I hire Peter for, is n''t it?"
37463After all, what could she answer?
37463After all, why should Mary''s words have disturbed him so deeply?
37463Ai n''t he hollerin''jes like he knows sump''n?"
37463Ai n''t she al''ays jes''ez sof ez silk, no matter whut happen?
37463Ai n''t she de sort dat ain''got no sof''soap about''er, en do n''t she look jes egzactly ez ef''n de buzzards he d picked''er?
37463Ai n''t she done been teckin''physic day in en day out sence befo''de flood, en ai n''t she all squinched up, en jes ez yaller ez a punkin, now?"
37463Ai n''t you comin''ter git yo''supper?"
37463Ai n''t you knowed Miss Angy better''n dat?
37463And, womanlike, she wondered if this passion of the mind had drawn its strength and colour from the earlier wasted passion of his heart?
37463Any news, Mary?"
37463Anything I could straighten out?"
37463Are all nurses happy, Miss Miller?"
37463Are you afraid?"
37463Are you going to France like everybody else?"
37463Are you going very soon?"
37463Are you ignorant of the feminine heart?"
37463As Caroline left the bedside and went to the chair by the fire, she heard Blackburn ask sharply,"What does the change mean, doctor?"
37463As Caroline watched the change, she asked herself if the war, which was only a phrase to these people a few months ago, had become at last a reality?
37463As for Letty she might as well be an orphan now that David Blackburn has gone to France----""To France?"
37463As she slid hurriedly from her father''s knees, she paused long enough to whisper in his ear,"Father, what shall I tell mother when she asks me?"
37463As the door opened, she inquired of the servant,"Moses, do you think this is a very important meeting?"
37463At ninety one could n''t reasonably have asked for very much more, do you think?"
37463At the words the boy looked up quickly, his eyes gleaming,"What must the leader be like, uncle?"
37463Because we build in the sky, I believe we are building to last----""But our mistakes, our follies, our insanities----?"
37463Bending over he lifted her to his knee, and asked patiently,"If I tell you why I ca n''t take him back, Letty, will you try to understand?"
37463Blackburn?"
37463Blackburn?"
37463Blackburn?"
37463Blackburn?"
37463But are n''t there a great many more important things you ought to do?"
37463But are we in the way?"
37463But does Mr. Blackburn want the senatorship?"
37463But have you ever noticed that people are very apt to keep the things they do n''t care about-- that they ca n''t shake them off?
37463But how can she come back if he does n''t want her?"
37463But how could you?"
37463But if not of me, of yourself?
37463But what would she do with him?
37463But why could n''t she have come out and said so?"
37463But yours is much darker, is n''t it?"
37463By the way, how is my niece?"
37463Ca n''t you see how you disgust me?"
37463Ca n''t you see that I am mad about you?
37463Ca n''t you see that she is breaking her heart over it?"
37463Can Letty hear us?"
37463Can you go without sleep and not lose your strength?"
37463Can you imagine anything more unlike father''s day when all Virginians, except those whom nobody knew, thought exactly alike?
37463Can you imagine why she should have done it?"
37463Chalmers?"
37463Could it be that Mrs. Blackburn was without tact?
37463Could it be that he was comparing Angelica with Mary, and that, for the moment at least, Mary''s lack of feminine charm, was estranging him?
37463Could it be that she did not realize the awkwardness of her interruption?
37463Could n''t she see that he was merely the cheapest sort of malcontent?
37463Could n''t you manage to drink it?"
37463Could she never forget?
37463Could there be any possible reason?"
37463David seemed so dreadfully rude, did n''t he?"
37463Did Anna Jeannette send you?"
37463Did I tell you I''d heard from Cousin Fanny Baylor, who has been with her in Chicago?"
37463Did n''t you always feel that she was full of soul?"
37463Did the housekeeper hear, she wondered, the wild throbbing of her heart?
37463Did you ask your father about Ridley?"
37463Did you expect her so soon?"
37463Did you or did you not think that you had spoken plainly to Angelica that evening?"
37463Do n''t you remember hearing her say at that committee meeting at Briarlay that her husband liked her to take part in public affairs?
37463Do n''t you think I am right, Miss Meade?"
37463Do n''t you think it is a pity for a woman to spend half her life in the saddle?
37463Do n''t you think that is a lovely way to feel about it?"
37463Do you dream that I have been seeing Roane Fitzhugh of my own accord?
37463Do you feel badly, darling?
37463Do you feel better now?"
37463Do you mind if I bolt in the midst of it?"
37463Do you really have to wear woollen stockings?
37463Do you reckon she''ould ever hev cotched Marse David ef''n he''d a knowed whut''t''wuz she wuz atter?
37463Do you see that new office building at the corner?
37463Do you think I should have come out if I had known?"
37463Do you think I''ve grown any since the last time I measured, Mammy Riah?"
37463Do you think mother will mind if I go into the drawing- room?
37463Do you think she is seriously ill, Miss Meade?"
37463Do you think you will come back when mother and father get home again?
37463Does she still keep up her wonderful spirits?"
37463Father, what is the difference between an angel and a fairy?
37463For here as elsewhere the one question never asked was,"What are we going to get out of it?"
37463Go over the list of young men in your set, and tell me if there is another Saint George of England among them?"
37463Go''way f''om yer, chile, whut you skeered er Marse David fur?"
37463Has anything happened?"
37463Has the President been waiting for the country, or the country for the President?
37463Has the hour struck?"
37463Have n''t we got one party already, and does n''t that one have a hard enough time looking after the negroes?
37463Have n''t you noticed it?"
37463Have n''t you seen enough of me yet to discover that I am really as harmless as I look?
37463Have you a headache?"
37463Have you a secret to tell me?"
37463Have you been for a walk?"
37463Have you been ill, Caroline?"
37463Have you dared to think such a thing?
37463Have you noticed it, Angelica?"
37463Have you quarrelled?"
37463He has his old place at the works, has n''t he?"
37463He moved softly to the door, and as Caroline looked after him, she found herself asking resentfully,"I wonder why Letty cried for her father?"
37463He told me that he believed I liked that dreadful man-- that I came out by appointment----""But do n''t you like him, my dear?"
37463Her laughing tone changed suddenly,"Why, Angelica, what is the matter?
37463How are you feeling?
37463How could he have gone on in ignorance?
37463How could he have stumbled, with unseeing eyes, over the heart of the problem?
37463How could it matter to her what Roane had turned into?
37463How dare you ask me such a thing?
37463How long ago was it?"
37463How long will it be, Miss Meade, before I can read any kind, even the sort where the letters all look just alike and go right into one another?"
37463How much longer are you going to walk about the world in your sleep?
37463I even ask myself sometimes if I have a moral right to anything we can send over to France?"
37463I hope you do n''t mind my speaking the truth?"
37463I must get this cheque to him, but I do not like to ask one of the servants----""You wish me to take it to him?"
37463I never see the child that she does not ask me,"When is Miss Meade coming back?"
37463I put the same to you, Miss Meade, was n''t the Democratic Party good enough for your father?"
37463I shall never see it again, but why should I care so much?
37463I suppose Mr. Blackburn can always be reached?"
37463I suppose you wo n''t put off the wedding much longer?
37463I will not stay even for Letty----""Do you know what you have done?"
37463I wonder how he would have liked Mr. Blackburn and his political theories?"
37463I wonder if I can make you understand?"
37463I wonder if she is really so prejudiced against Mrs. Blackburn that she ca n''t talk of her?"
37463I wonder what they will make of her?"
37463I wonder why the pipes of Pan always begin again in the spring?"
37463If he had ever been what I believed him, do you imagine that any one could have''taken''him?
37463If there is any change, will you send for me?"
37463Is Letty asleep?"
37463Is Mrs. Blackburn ill?"
37463Is he hanging about?"
37463Is her temperature high?"
37463Is it a very important meeting?"
37463Is it an honest desire for service or is it-- the open door?"
37463Is it in my reader?
37463Is n''t she beautiful?"
37463Is n''t there a hole of some sort a man of forty- three can stop up?"
37463Is she a fairy too?"
37463Is she really ill?"
37463Is she worse, Doctor Boland?"
37463Is the car waiting?"
37463Is the cheque written?"
37463Is there any man on earth who could have taken me from Alan?"
37463Is there any reason why she should n''t stay?"
37463Is you ever seed a man, no matter how big he think hisself, dat warn''ready ter flop right down ez''weak ez water, ez soon as she set''er een on''i m?
37463It is a lovely name,"she mused, seizing upon the one charming thing in Mrs. Colfax''s description,"I wonder what she is like?"
37463It is so perfectly dreadful when one has to take sides with a husband or wife, is n''t it?
37463It is strange, is n''t it, but the whole time Mr. Blackburn was in here talking to me, I kept wondering if she had ever cared for him?
37463It is their affair, is n''t it?
37463It looks very much as if we were going to fight, does n''t it?
37463It means so much when you''re grown, do n''t you think, to look back on a pleasant childhood?
37463It seemed impossible to her that she should stay on at Briarlay, and yet what excuse could she give Angelica for leaving so suddenly?
37463It seems funny that such a little thing should decide a great question, does n''t it?
37463It sounds incredible, does n''t it?"
37463It was years ago that I met you, was n''t it?"
37463It''s funny, is n''t it, that the doctor who is attending her now should be so crazy about her?
37463Lend her to me?"
37463Letty had begun coughing, and Caroline drew her closer while she asked anxiously,"Do you think it is wise to take a child into close houses?"
37463Letty''s good would weigh more with me; but can I be sure-- can you, or any one else, be sure that it is really for Letty''s good?
37463Look here, Anna Jeannette, had n''t you better call a halt on the thing?"
37463Look here, Letty, who is coming to this feast of joy?
37463Macy?"
37463Mammy Riah, do you think my hair would stay plaited like that if it was n''t tied?"
37463Miss Meade, how do you like Richmond?"
37463Miss Meade, may I have a skipping- rope?"
37463Miss Webster, is it time for the medicine?"
37463Mr. Blackburn looks strong, and his wife was always well until recently, was n''t she?"
37463Mrs. Blackburn, I mean?"
37463My dear, can you believe that Roane has really turned into a hero?"
37463Never expected to meet him?"
37463Not in the place of Colonel Acton?"
37463Of course if she has n''t anything else to do-- but in this age, do n''t you feel, there are so many opportunities of service?"
37463Of your obligations to your country?"
37463Of your power for usefulness?
37463Oh, David, will you never wake up?
37463Oh, I forgot to tell you that Mrs. Blackburn wants to know if you could find time to do some knitting for her?
37463Oh, I wonder if the world will ever be sane and safe again?"
37463Oh, why did he let me go?"
37463Perhaps Miss Meade will entertain me?"
37463Perhaps she is different now since Alan Wythe was killed?"
37463She is all tangled up, is n''t she, mother?"
37463She is an odd little thing, is n''t she?
37463She would not only ruin her husband, she would try to destroy me, though I''ve never harmed her?"
37463She writes me that she has been ill-- that there was a serious operation----""Have the doctors told her the truth?"
37463She''d make an adorable bridesmaid in an orchid- coloured gown and a flower hat, would n''t she, Cousin Matty?"
37463Show me the man who is free among us to- day?"
37463So this is where you walk?
37463Speaking of Robert, Anna Jeannette, was he really the author of that slashing editorial in the_ Free- Press_?"
37463Surely you agree with me that it is a deplorable error of judgment?"
37463That will be time enough, wo n''t it?"
37463That''s like Roane Fitzhugh, is n''t it?
37463The child is very fond of Mr. Wythe-- he has a charming way with her-- and when I went in, she was asking him if he were really going to war?
37463The next instant she added seriously,"David, have you seen the paper?
37463The plays ca n''t be so very important, or they would be on the stage, would n''t they?"
37463The reading I heard as I came up, I suppose was for her benefit?"
37463The rest you must understand-- you will understand?"
37463Then he said slowly,"What good will it do?"
37463Then her tone changed, and as they stopped at the corner of the park, she cried out with pleasure,"Is n''t that Uncle Roane over there?
37463Then she added, while the laugh died on her lips,"Have you left Briarlay for good?"
37463Then think of all the destruction and the dreadful high taxes that would follow----""But I thought there was a great deal of war spirit here?
37463Then, as she was about to run into the house, she paused and added,"Only-- only how could you?"
37463Then, as the child got up from her play and came over to him, he asked tenderly,"Are n''t you happy, darling?"
37463Then, before she could reply, he asked hurriedly,"Has Letty spoken to you of her mother?"
37463Then, of course, Letty inquired immediately,"What is democracy?"
37463There is n''t much the matter, is there, mammy?"
37463There seems to you a chance that she may grow up well and normal?"
37463There was a knock at the door, and Mammy Riah inquired querulously through the crack,"Whar you, Letty?
37463They sound as if she wanted to see me very much, do n''t they mammy?
37463This danger passed yesterday, but who knows when it may come again?"
37463To have a public character that gives the lie to his private one?"
37463To imagine that I wanted to see him-- that I came out to meet him?"
37463Uncle Roane, do you see us?"
37463Was Alan Wythe there last night?"
37463Was it any wonder that Blackburn was anxious when she gazed up at him like that?
37463Was it possible that he had never understood him-- that he did not understand him to- day?
37463Was n''t it dreadful, Roane?"
37463Was she for ever chained to an inescapable memory?
37463Was the warmth and fervour which he read now in her face a glimpse of the soul which life had hidden beneath the dignity of her manner?
37463Was there a deeper closet and a grimmer skeleton at Briarlay than the one she had discovered?
37463Was there something, after all, that she did not understand?
37463We speak of giving life, but what is life except the means of giving something infinitely better and finer?
37463What can I do for you?"
37463What can prove this more clearly than the fact that I am here to ask your help in organizing the independent vote in Virginia?
37463What could she possibly gain?"
37463What did you tell him?"
37463What do you hear from him?"
37463What do you suppose David meant when he said that beneath it all was a profound disillusionment?"
37463What has she to do with Mary and Alan?"
37463What have you been doing?"
37463What is the trouble between her and Alan?"
37463What is there in the world except work?"
37463What is there left to be a traitor to?"
37463What on earth is the reason?
37463What the paper said?"
37463What would your grandmother have thought of you?
37463When does Alan come back, dear?
37463When it is over?"
37463Where''d we be now but for the British navy?"
37463Who says I am drunk?"
37463Whut you reckon Miss Matty know about hit?
37463Why are you so dreadful, Roane?"
37463Why ca n''t you speak plainly?"
37463Why did she stoop to argue with the man?
37463Why do we want to go and start up trouble just after we''ve got things all nicely settled?
37463Why does David want to stir up a hornet''s nest among the negroes, I''d like to know?"
37463Why does it make me so unhappy, as if it were tearing the heart out of my breast?
37463Why in the world-- how in the world----""And David told you that he thought so?"
37463Why is that?"
37463Why should I care?"
37463Why should he care?"
37463Why should n''t I be?"
37463Why should she care what people said of him?
37463Why should she have done it?"
37463Why wo n''t you be kind to me?
37463Why, for God''s sake, ca n''t we strangle the pacifists for once?
37463Why, what is the matter?"
37463Why, what on earth is she writing to you about?
37463Will it get wet, do you think?"
37463Will you be sure to order the car?"
37463Will you go down to the library?"
37463Will you help me?"
37463Will you promise?"
37463Will you sit with Letty while I run down for a cup of coffee?"
37463Will you tell her that I''d like to see her immediately?"
37463Will you walk a little way?
37463With her arms about Letty, who moaned and shivered in her grasp, she added,"Letty, darling, shall I send for your mother?"
37463Without noticing them, the child cried out in a loud, clear voice,"Where is father?
37463Would he love America so much if he loved Angelica more?
37463Would n''t you just as soon go to see these children?"
37463Would you like to have a garden, father?"
37463Wythe?"
37463Yet how could she be when she spends such a fortune on clothes?"
37463You ain''never seed Miss Angy git ez mad ez fire wid nobody, is you?
37463You ain''never seed''er git all in a swivet''bout nuttin?
37463You are just a trifle run down, are n''t you?"
37463You ax''er ef''n she''s done forgot de Fitzhugh chillun''s mammy?
37463You do n''t honestly think me a rotter, do you?"
37463You do trust me?"
37463You have sent for the doctor, of course?"
37463You heard that David was back?"
37463You knew old Docia was sick, did n''t you?
37463You knew she was suffering?"
37463You know Dodson?"
37463You know how easily children forget?"
37463You know that Mr. Blackburn has come home?"
37463You like me in uniform, do n''t you?"
37463You mean I''d never understand how Mr. Blackburn got that impression?"
37463You mean tell her how ill Letty is?
37463You never got up at dawn to turn the cows out to pasture, and brought them home in the evening, riding the calf?"
37463You remember I wrote you that Mr. Wythe did not like her?
37463You remember how taciturn he always was, and how he never let anybody even mention Angelica''s name to him?
37463You saw her faint away at my feet?"
37463You will keep well?"
37463You will see Letty sometimes?"
37463You would like to do that, would n''t you?"
37463You would like to see her, darling?"
37463You would n''t like to see the''Odysseus of Democracy''dispossessed?"
37463You''ve got the fundamental thing, have n''t you?"
37463_ Why should she have done it?_ I should always have taken her part against Mr. Blackburn, against Mrs. Timberlake, against Mammy Riah.
37463asked Letty, with carefully subdued excitement,"and may I go to church?
37463exclaimed Caroline, and mentally she added,"Is it possible for a man to have two characters?
37463he began airily, and the next instant exclaimed with scarcely a change of tone,"Who are you?
37463or"I think the simplest way to raise money would be by some tableaux, do n''t you, Colonel Ashburton?
