21490 | Who speaks? |
21490 | Why are you going by this road? |
21490 | But, if you go away, what will become of me?" |
21490 | Could it be the creature that had uttered the sound? |
21490 | Could n''t you ask the captain''s leave, and say that we want you to help us to look after the wounded?" |
21490 | Have you brought the manifest and the other papers with you?" |
21490 | He then looking up, inquired in husky tones,"What we wanted?" |
21490 | Suppose let me go, what say King Quagomolo? |

21490 | is it you, Roderick?" |
21490 | where do you come from?" |
21472 | And how came you to be here? |

21472 | And your wife-- what is her name? |
21472 | Are you going to remain with us? |
21472 | But how can any one have a claim upon me? 21472 But who take care ob de house, de pigs, and de garden, and de poultry?" |
21472 | Can not our commander interfere? |
21472 | Can you make her out, Ned? 21472 Come, Sally, what is it?" |
21472 | Do they, then, intend to attack the village and make slaves of the unfortunate people? |
21472 | Do you see that brute? |
21472 | Does n''t the book I brought you last week say that? 21472 Good- bye, little girl,"said Mr Shank, as he stood with his hand on the door- latch;"you''ll come again soon?" |
21472 | Has Mrs Jones got twins? 21472 Have n''t we got something to serve as a flag of truce?" |
21472 | Have none of you seen him? |
21472 | Have they killed him, do you think? |
21472 | Have you no suspicion on the subject? |
21472 | He go search for my boy, what I do better dan go look for him? |
21472 | Hot, do you call it? |
21472 | How dare you oppose your opinion to mine, youngster? |
21472 | How is Mr Shank? |
21472 | How is sister Sally-- all right I hope? |
21472 | I do n''t understand that; if we are not to hate our enemies, who and what are we to hate? |
21472 | I thought, friend Sayd, that you were going on a hunting and trading expedition? |
21472 | I wonder who he can be? |
21472 | I wonder who it can come from? |
21472 | In what direction do you propose to proceed? |
21472 | Is Abdullah going to trade with the inhabitants of yonder village? |
21472 | Is it about Ned? 21472 Is the gun all ready forward?" |
21472 | Is there no hope for these poor people? |
21472 | Is this the way you Arabs treat your followers? |
21472 | Look out, Stone; what is the dhow about? 21472 Surely you have not joined company with these men- stealers?" |
21472 | Then do you blame those who hoard up money? |
21472 | What business have they to make slaves of their fellow- creatures? |
21472 | What do you think now, Charley, of the strangers? |
21472 | What does he say? |
21472 | What has happened? |
21472 | What is that? |
21472 | What should have made you fancy I should have been otherwise? |
21472 | What''s his name? |
21472 | Where are your papers? |
21472 | Where is Cox? |
21472 | Where is Mr Garth? |
21472 | Where is Ned? |
21472 | Who can all these people be? |
21472 | Who''s there? |
21472 | Whom can it be from? |
21472 | Why did n''t he come in and sit down until you were ready to go? |
21472 | Why, is n''t he one of the slaver''s crew? |
21472 | Why, where is it? |
21472 | Why,said Ned to the lieutenant,"has uncle not written?" |
21472 | You come from de` Ione,''massa? |
21472 | You do n''t mean to say that our Ned is dead? |
21472 | Your papa, Mary? |
21472 | All ready there forward?" |
21472 | Are you ready to acknowledge him as your little boy Chando?" |
21472 | But how are you going to get back, young lady?" |
21472 | Can you find my mother, that we may be together and be once more happy as we were before he was carried away to become a slave?" |
21472 | Can you, however, assist me?" |
21472 | Hab him gone in nudder ship?" |
21472 | Had she came out to relieve the"Ione"? |
21472 | Has he been found? |
21472 | Have many of the poor fellows been saved?" |
21472 | Have you run away from your ship?" |
21472 | How came you to be with him? |
21472 | I saw that the` Ione''had arrived and was to be paid off, so was looking out for you; but where is Ned? |
21472 | I wonder how he can manage to spend his time all by himself?" |
21472 | Is he coming back?" |
21472 | O my young master, can you take me to him? |
21472 | One of the first questions he put on his arrival was,"Have you told them, father, about poor Ned?" |
21472 | Reeds flanked the opposite bank of the stream; should he be able to force his way through them? |
21472 | She did not add,"I wonder what the poor old man can find so pleasant in his existence as to make him desire to live?" |
21472 | Should they halt, how many would be alive in the morning? |
21472 | The latter almost let his load drop in his agitation as he asked,"Is Baraka-- is my father still alive? |
21472 | The lieutenant was right in his conjectures; in another minute a voice was heard shouting,"Dat you, Massa Pack an''Massa Ned?" |
21472 | Was he your father?" |
21472 | What can have delayed them? |
21472 | What do you think of this young man? |
21472 | What do you think, Sally? |
21472 | What made you think of that, youngster?" |
21472 | What would Aunt Sally say if I was to go back without you, Ned?" |
21472 | Where am I?" |
21472 | Where could he be all this time? |
21472 | Where were the funds to come from? |
21472 | Who shall I tell my uncle you are, sir?" |
21472 | Would Mr Hanson and Charley discover him, or would they return without tidings of his fate? |
21472 | Would Tom return with his son to Kamwawi, or would they accompany the English back to the coast? |
21472 | You will think of me, Mary, with pity rather than scorn when I am gone?" |
21472 | You''ll come and see me again some day, and bring another nice pudding, wo n''t you?" |
21472 | Your aunt must be a rich woman to afford so dainty a dish for a poor man like me?" |
21472 | do you come all this way alone merely to visit a wretched being like me?" |
21472 | exclaimed Ned, when he heard the name;"that surely is the village to which Chando told us he belonged?" |
21472 | had you a hand in saving the passenger?" |
21472 | has n''t he come home with you?" |
21472 | he shouted,"do n''t you know me? |
21472 | must you go, little girl? |
21472 | old Shank the miser? |
21472 | or is Miss Simpkins married? |
21472 | or is poor old Shank dead and not left enough to bury him, as I always said would be the case?" |
21472 | what shall him do, what shall him do?" |
21472 | where are you?" |
23034 | And so,said I, when I got back to Kya,"dost thou in truth believe, beloved Ibrahim, that the devil dwells in those rocks of the sulphur stream?" |
23034 | And your mother? |
23034 | But, what of_ Monsieur le capitaine_, in the present instance? |
23034 | Cider-- of course, corporal; what other sort of pop can starving wretches like us drink in Sary- loney? |
23034 | Did you get my message? |
23034 | Has the blood of last night unsettled your nerves and made you delirious? 23034 How was it, then,"exclaimed the commander,"that you fought under the Portuguese flag?" |
23034 | Was one of your uncles a navy officer? |
23034 | Why not, brother Theodore? 23034 Why?" |
23034 | _ C''est une belle dame, notre vis à vis, n''est elle pas mon cher?_said he pointing to our patron saint opposite. |
23034 | _ Cider_, captain? |
23034 | _ Me_, lieutenant? |
23034 | After a moment''s hesitation, he continued,--still pacing the apartment in his night linen,--"You do n''t like the English, do you, my boy?" |
23034 | And do I prevent your embarkation, if you can find any Krooman willing to take you on board? |
23034 | Are ye drunk? |
23034 | But who, after the fall of Corporal Blunt, shall declare that there is a living man free from the lures of betrayal? |
23034 | Can either of you perform this service?" |
23034 | Can this wine have made you mad?" |
23034 | Come into the house; where have you been? |
23034 | Did he anticipate my effort to fly, and endeavor to save me from the double risk of crossing to the mainland, and of future provision for my comfort? |
23034 | Did his friend,_ le Mongo_, intend to honor this draft? |
23034 | Did you not come here to''blockade''New Sestros, with a brig and provisions for half a year? |
23034 | First of all, he inquired what I wished to know? |
23034 | Had I been treated with honor, respect and attention on my journey? |
23034 | Had he purposely and honorably left me alone, in order to escape this scene of blood? |
23034 | Had this wretch torn it from her head, as he imbrued his hands in her blood on that terrible night? |
23034 | How many brothers had I? |
23034 | I was their guest, and owed them no tribute or duties; and yet, had I not_ voluntarily_ lavished my presents upon the chiefs? |
23034 | If the royal palace of Timbuctoo was of_ such_ a character,--"What,"said he,"were the dwellings of nobles and townsfolk?" |
23034 | If you drink, will it not physic you? |
23034 | Is n''t the water poison? |
23034 | Is there hope for a nation which, in three thousand years, has hardly turned in its sleep? |
23034 | Let us see if he is at home?" |
23034 | May we not feel a_ spasm_ of regret at leaving even a prison? |
23034 | Now is n''t that a delightful_ catalogue raisonné_ of arguments why women should love_ les mâtelots_?" |
23034 | Perhaps you are no longer disposed to regard me as your chief? |
23034 | Powers, passions, propensities, and even thoughts, could not be hidden from him;--and,"who dared try his skill?" |
23034 | Presently he demanded whether I was alone? |
23034 | Shall the regeneration of a continent be quicker than its ripening? |
23034 | The boat was lowered; but who would man her? |
23034 | The reader may ask why I did not burst the bond, and free myself at a word from a commerce with which I was disgusted? |
23034 | Then, looking intently over my face and into the very depth of my eyes, he asked gently with a smile--"what was my name?" |
23034 | Was I not generous? |
23034 | Was it the warning-- as it was certainly the handwriting-- of Rafael? |
23034 | Was my dwelling comfortable? |
23034 | Were they warriors? |
23034 | Were they"book- men?" |
23034 | What delay would I make in Footha- Yallon? |
23034 | What possible object or result could I gain by resistance amid the motley assemblage that surrounded me on the deck of the"CARA- BOBO?" |
23034 | When animals lick it in the dry season, do they not die on the margin by scores? |
23034 | Who was my father? |
23034 | Who was my mother? |
23034 | Why did I travel so far? |
23034 | Will you promise?" |
23034 | Would night_ never_ come? |
23034 | Yet why should I scoff at poor Ali? |
23034 | Yet, what British merchant does not know the traffic on which those bills are founded, and for whose support his wares are purchased? |
23034 | You ai n''t afraid of_ cider_, are you?" |
23034 | _ Hola!__ Messieurs_, shall we not make the most of new acquaintances when they may be so brief?" |
23034 | _ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week? |
23034 | _ Mais pourquoi, mon cher?_ why shall it be your last week? |
23034 | at a moment''s notice, were we to obtain mats enough to carpet the five hundred yards of transit from the river to the house? |
23034 | inquired Mesclet,"and where is he at present?" |
23034 | mon cher_,"said I, as I followed the gold;"_ la fortune de guerre_ has many phases, you see; how do you like this one? |
23034 | said the chief,"it is all there,--is it not? |
23034 | was his reply,"and why have n''t you gone?" |
23034 | yelled the Lieutenant, as the surgeon came up with the vociferous group:"put us aboard and be paid, or I''ll----?" |
12428 | And first, Are there no strangers, whom we oppress? 12428 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, What is the necessity? |
12428 | Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display? 12428 When the grim lion urg''d his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey, What fate reserv''d me for this Christian race? |
12428 | Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give? 12428 And have they not the same sensibility? 12428 And what could the commitee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce? 12428 And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? 12428 And what object is that, which first obtrudes itself upon our sight? 12428 And whither shall we go now? 12428 And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him? 12428 Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these? 12428 Are they not men as well as we? 12428 Are they not more or less elevated, again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent? 12428 But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles? 12428 But how can we be said to love our brethren, who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them, in bondage? 12428 But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen? 12428 But let us leave the cries of this unfortunate woman, and hasten into another district:--And what do we first see here? 12428 But there the question still recurred,Are these things true?" |
12428 | But were no others lost besides the one hundred and twenty and the twelve? |
12428 | But what then, say these sincere worshippers of mammon? |
12428 | But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question? |
12428 | But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened? |
12428 | But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage? |
12428 | By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned? |
12428 | Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created? |
12428 | Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time? |
12428 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts? |
12428 | Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened? |
12428 | Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burthens on our fellow- creatures? |
12428 | Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections? |
12428 | For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb? |
12428 | For if, to avoid egotism, I should write, as many have done, in the third person, what would this profit me? |
12428 | For in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances? |
12428 | For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connections there? |
12428 | For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the commitee? |
12428 | Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right? |
12428 | Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force? |
12428 | Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy? |
12428 | He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands? |
12428 | How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?" |
12428 | How shall I describe their feelings, as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest? |
12428 | How shall I give an idea of their agony, when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes? |
12428 | I questioned whether some thousand pounds would not be necessary, and from whence was such a sum to come? |
12428 | In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead? |
12428 | In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened? |
12428 | In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these? |
12428 | Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves? |
12428 | Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring? |
12428 | Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages? |
12428 | Not one of the cases had yet been pleaded on the broad ground,"Whether an African slave coming into England became free?" |
12428 | Or can the Spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of those oppressive and unrighteous measures? |
12428 | Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?" |
12428 | Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main? |
12428 | Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself? |
12428 | Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me too?" |
12428 | The great question was, what was I to do? |
12428 | The question was-"Whether a slave, by coming into England, became free?" |
12428 | The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the commitee of privy council were inquiring? |
12428 | Then what is man? |
12428 | They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition;--and where had it been proved? |
12428 | They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not, in cooler moments, have succeeded? |
12428 | This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it? |
12428 | Thus,"And what have ye to do with me O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? |
12428 | To the latter, he proposed the following:"Anne liceat Invitos in Servitutem dare?" |
12428 | To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate? |
12428 | Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain? |
12428 | We have no Slaves at home-- then why abroad? |
12428 | Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there? |
12428 | What is that sudden rustling among the leaves? |
12428 | What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance? |
12428 | What savage race protects this impious gain? |
12428 | What would be the consequence? |
12428 | Where are those rights? |
12428 | Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control? |
12428 | Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it? |
12428 | Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?" |
12428 | Who is he, that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face? |
12428 | Who is that wretched woman, whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair? |
12428 | Who knew any thing of what was doing by the commitee of privy council, or what progress they were making? |
12428 | Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket? |
12428 | Why did he refuse to give it? |
12428 | Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it? |
12428 | Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us? |
12428 | Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?" |
12428 | have you laugh your fill? |
12428 | or,"Is it right to make slaves of others against their will?" |
12428 | what is there, in the infinite abuses of society, which does not shock them? |
10611 | But who are you, who pretend to judge[103] of another man''s happiness? 10611 But why then,"replies the honest African,"do they suffer this? |
10611 | Quid tu me verò libertate territas? 10611 _ Imagination!_ who can sing thy force, Or who describe the swiftness of thy course? |
10611 | --But can_ laws_ alter the nature of vice? |
10611 | --But what is that which strikes their ears? |
10611 | 23,"Can the à � thiopian change his colour, or the leopard his spots?" |
10611 | And here, what a dreadful argument presents itself against you_ receivers_? |
10611 | And indeed, how can it be expected that they should? |
10611 | And is this wonderful, when, you_ receivers_ depress their senses by hunger? |
10611 | And who is there, that would not have done the same thing, in the same situation? |
10611 | And why are these dismal cries in vain?" |
10611 | Are they not names, assumed either from_ injury_ or_ ambition_?" |
10611 | But can they be well- disposed to their oppressors? |
10611 | But do we mention punishment? |
10611 | But do you allude to that execrable code, that_ authorises murder_? |
10611 | But for what purpose is the punishment applied? |
10611 | But how does the_ slave_ differ from his_ master_, but by_ chance_? |
10611 | But how shall we attempt to ascertain it? |
10611 | But if the_ offending_ party inflicted slavery on the persons of the vanquished, by what right did they inflict it? |
10611 | But in what does this superiour happiness consist? |
10611 | But what do you say to that long catalogue of offences, which you punish, and of which no people but yourselves take cognizance at all? |
10611 | But what is this to you_ receivers_? |
10611 | But what shall we say to the_ hypothesis_? |
10611 | But which are we to believe on the occasion? |
10611 | But who are you, that have this exclusive charter of trading in the liberties of mankind? |
10611 | But who are you, that thus take into slavery so many people? |
10611 | But why this unusual mirth, if their departed brother has left an happy place? |
10611 | Can the southern winds convey them to the ear of Britain? |
10611 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness, amidst their native woods and desarts? |
10611 | Do we allude to that awful day, which shall surely come, when the master shall behold his murdered negroe face to face? |
10611 | Do we allude to that punishment, which shall be inflicted on men as individuals, in a future life? |
10611 | Do you call them obstinate then, because they refuse your favours? |
10611 | Do you call them ungrateful, because they make you this return? |
10611 | Do you live in_ Spain_, or in_ France_, or in_ Britain_? |
10611 | Do you not see the tears that now trickle down my cheeks? |
10611 | Do you thus judge from your own constitution and frame? |
10611 | Does a man set fire to an house, for the purpose of rescuing the inhabitants from the flames? |
10611 | Does he defend those therefore, whom he invades at discretion with the sword? |
10611 | Does he protect the property of those, whose houses and effects he consigns at discretion to the flames? |
10611 | For has he no pleasure in the thought, that he lives in his_ own country_, and among his relations and friends? |
10611 | For how must they detest the very name of_ Christians_, when you_ Christians_ are deformed by so many and dreadful vices? |
10611 | For how shamefully must these unfortunate people have been oppressed? |
10611 | For if this is the mode to be adopted in literary disputes, what writer can be safe? |
10611 | For if this restraining principle be as powerful as it is imagined, why does not the general conduct of men afford us a better picture? |
10611 | For what is it that awakens the abilities of men, and distinguishes them from the common herd? |
10611 | Had there been a necessity, where had the wretched captive survived to be broken with chains and servitude? |
10611 | Have the unfortunate_ convicts_ been guilty of injury to_ you_? |
10611 | Have the wretched Africans formally resigned their freedom? |
10611 | Have they broken_ your_ treaties? |
10611 | Have they carried_ your_ wives and children into slavery, that_ you_ should thus retaliate? |
10611 | Have they offended_ you_ even by word or gesture? |
10611 | Have they plundered_ your_ ships? |
10611 | Have you any other claim upon their obedience, than that of force? |
10611 | Have you not heard me sigh, while we have been talking? |
10611 | Hence Polybius;"What must they,( the Mantinenses) suffer, to receive the punishment they deserve? |
10611 | How could his design have been accomplished? |
10611 | How many have leaped into the sea? |
10611 | How many have pined to death, that, even at the expence of their lives, they might fly from your_ benevolence_? |
10611 | How must they detest that system of religion, which appears to resist the natural rights of men, and to give a sanction to brutality and murder? |
10611 | How then shall we attempt to ascertain it? |
10611 | How then shall we begin the refutation? |
10611 | How then shall we begin? |
10611 | Is it applied then, that others may be deterred from the same proceedings, and that crimes may become less frequent? |
10611 | Is it applied to amend the manners of the criminal, and thus render him a better subject? |
10611 | Is it not frequently the hope of temporary honours, or a lasting fame? |
10611 | Is it not often the amiable hope of becoming serviceable to individuals, or the state? |
10611 | Is it not often the hope of riches, or of power? |
10611 | Now what must we justly conclude from such a supposition? |
10611 | Now, which of these are we to believe on the occasion? |
10611 | Or if he has been taken from the care of an indulgent master, who consulted his pleasures, and administered to his wants? |
10611 | Or that he might taste the charms of liberty with_ a greater relish_? |
10611 | Or who is there, that will not be deterred from taking up his pen in the cause of virtue? |
10611 | Or, do we allude to that punishment, which may be inflicted on them here, as members of a wicked community? |
10611 | Or, rather, let me ask, did they ever cease complaining of their condition under you their lordly masters? |
10611 | Shall we enumerate the many important services, that they rendered both to the individuals and the community, under whom they lived? |
10611 | Shall we enumerate the many instances of fidelity, patience, or valour, that are recorded of the_ servile_ race? |
10611 | Shall we look into the various climates of the earth, see the colour that generally prevails in the inhabitants of each, and apply the rule? |
10611 | Shall we say with Seneca, who saw many of the slaves in question,"What is a_ knight_, or a_ libertine_, or a_ slave_? |
10611 | That he can never be_ sold_ as a beast? |
10611 | That he can not even be struck_ with impunity_? |
10611 | That he can speak his mind_ without the fear of the lash_? |
10611 | That he is actually_ free_, and that his children will be the same? |
10611 | That state which each man, under the guidance of his maker, forms for himself, and not one man for another? |
10611 | The first point, that occurs to be ascertained, is,"What part of the skin is the seat of colour?" |
10611 | This is generally true: but would any one of them make himself a_ slave_ for years, that he might run the chance of the pleasures of_ manumission_? |
10611 | Those, who endeavour to dress_ vice_ in the habit of_ virtue_, or those, who derive their opinion from their own feelings? |
10611 | What answer do you make to this? |
10611 | What arguments can they possibly bring in their defence? |
10611 | What can possibly be the cause? |
10611 | What is he to do in such a trying situation? |
10611 | What is_ Christianity_, but a system of_ murder_ and_ oppression_? |
10611 | What then must be their sufferings, to be forced for ever from their country, which includes them all? |
10611 | What treaty of empire can they produce, by which their innocent victims ever resigned to them the least portion of their_ liberty_? |
10611 | What would the reader have thought on the occasion? |
10611 | When a train of mutilated slaves shall be brought against him? |
10611 | When did He say, that you should have the privilege of selling others, and that others should not have the privilege of selling you? |
10611 | When did nature, or rather the Author of nature, make so partial a distinction between you and them? |
10611 | When he shall stand confounded and abashed? |
10611 | Where do you live yourself? |
10611 | Where is the military man, whose ears have been slit, whose limbs have been mutilated, or whose eyes have been beaten out? |
10611 | Which makes them motionless in an instant? |
10611 | Who is there, that has once known the charms of liberty; that would not fly from despotism? |
10611 | Why are her children wrested from her, to administer to the luxuries and greatness of those whom they never offended? |
10611 | Why do you kill them with fatigue? |
10611 | Why do you not measure them here by the same standard? |
10611 | Why do you sentence them to death? |
10611 | Why does the whip deform their bodies, or the knife their limbs? |
10611 | Why is Africa a scene of blood and desolation? |
10611 | Why keep you your daily and nightly watches? |
10611 | Why then do you load them with chains? |
10611 | Will you be content to live in the colonies, and you shall have the half of every week entirely to yourselves? |
10611 | Would he have believed the fact? |
10611 | Would you not resist it with a safe conscience? |
10611 | can the most credulous believe it? |
10611 | do you thus judge from your own feelings? |
10611 | or will you choose to return to your miserable, wretched country?" |
10611 | that tempts an unoffended person to kill the slave, that abhors and flies your service? |
10611 | to a death, infinitely more excruciating than that from which you so kindly saved them? |
10611 | we reply again,"can the cries and groans, with which the air now trembles, be heard across this extensive continent? |
4675 | Africa? 4675 And do you remember his brother, Helen?" |
4675 | And have you suspected nothing since your vessel has been here? |
4675 | And how old are you, my dear? |
4675 | And if I did, Maud, what wrong is that to thee? 4675 And now where is this same Gulielmo?" |
4675 | And of good family? |
4675 | And what does your father, maiden? |
4675 | And what for, cousin Helen? |
4675 | And what is that? |
4675 | And what is your name? |
4675 | And you never thought of fleeing to another country with a lover, on a fleet courser? |
4675 | And your mother? |
4675 | Answer me, was he injured, for I see you are not? |
4675 | Are they loaded, Leonard? |
4675 | Art sick, cousin Helen? |
4675 | Art thou a student of the art which is our country''s pride? |
4675 | Ay, sir,added Captain Bramble, somewhat pertly,"do you find any objection to that name? |
4675 | Beau sire,replied the abbot,"do you know what the girl is worth?" |
4675 | Bother it, how can I tell? |
4675 | But what do you bring up so sudden for? 4675 But what was it made your voice and the sound of your name affect me so this morning? |
4675 | But where is his vessel? 4675 But why do you speak of those days?" |
4675 | But, Hal, our fireman-- did you not follow him? |
4675 | But, Leonard, where is my brother, and why is it necessary to remove these badges of shame by stealth? 4675 But, mother--""Well, my child?" |
4675 | By what authority do you give such an order as that, Captain Bramble? |
4675 | Captain Ratlin is very friendly to you, I suppose, Maud? |
4675 | Charles Bramble? |
4675 | Despise them? 4675 Did I?" |
4675 | Did you? |
4675 | Do I, mother? |
4675 | Do you despise the firemen now, May? |
4675 | Do you forgive my rudeness? |
4675 | Do you not love that white- faced girl you brought hither? |
4675 | Do you not think we could save him? |
4675 | Do you promise me this, Captain Bramble? |
4675 | Do you remember Robert Bramble then? |
4675 | Does not my brother know that you are here on this errand, Leonard? |
4675 | File them off? 4675 Fortunate, my dear? |
4675 | Has he not brought you presents across the ocean? |
4675 | Has he wronged you? |
4675 | Has he? |
4675 | Have I anything to gain by a lie? |
4675 | Heard it? 4675 Here, see you not those bright, silver- like scales through the leaves?" |
4675 | How comes it that you know of this? 4675 How is this?" |
4675 | How is this? |
4675 | How knew you of that? |
4675 | How many do they number? |
4675 | How was that matter, Bill? |
4675 | How would you like another? |
4675 | How,--do not trifle with me,--what is this which you are telling me? |
4675 | I hope so, sir, only you must not let master Robert know that I liberated you from these ruffles, sir, will you, master Charles? |
4675 | I trust there is no danger in accepting the assistance that the ship appears willing to give? |
4675 | In Heaven''s name, Leonard, what do you mean by such an assertion? |
4675 | In which direction? |
4675 | Is he capable of this? |
4675 | Is it customary for traders upon these seas to go so thoroughly armed, Captain Ratlin? |
4675 | Is it far from here? |
4675 | Is this the reward,he said, at length,"of all my weary toil?" |
4675 | It was n''t father or mother that saw it? |
4675 | Maud, Maud, what have you done? |
4675 | Maud,he said, in a low, but reproachful tone,"is it you who have betrayed us?" |
4675 | May I not hope that years of fond attachment, years of continued assiduity, may yet outweigh your indifference, Miss Huntington? |
4675 | May, you have not asked me if I saw the mysterious fireman last night? |
4675 | Mother, how long before we shall turn our face towards England? |
4675 | Mother, if they find Captain Ratlin guilty, what can they, what will they do with him? |
4675 | My child,said he,"how is it that you are pasturing your cow on the Sabbath? |
4675 | My safety, lady? 4675 Not like him, my child?" |
4675 | Now, Bill, what do you think I did dream? |
4675 | Of course Helen Huntington knows nothing of this development yet, Leonard? |
4675 | Of the merchant service, I presume? |
4675 | Poor, poor girl, what shall we say to your father? |
4675 | Prisoner,said the judge,"do you recollect having done this man a severe and almost fatal harm in the late conflict?" |
4675 | See, see,said the daughter, at that moment,"what is that?" |
4675 | Shall a few wine- warmed words thus set you all agog, my merry men? 4675 So soon? |
4675 | So, you have broken off all connection with this business, and have settled your accounts with Don Leonardo, have you not? |
4675 | Suppose, for instance, that I do not like Captain Bramble, then is he a fitting match for me? |
4675 | Suspect? |
4675 | That is just what I am going to tell you, sir; and you see, master Charles--"Master Charles,--Charles,--why do you call me that name? |
4675 | The duel? |
4675 | Then you do n''t remember me? |
4675 | Was he? |
4675 | Was it cousin Helen? |
4675 | Well, Leonard Hust,said Charles Bramble,"what has brought yon here so clothed in mystery? |
4675 | Well, sir, what have you to offer? |
4675 | Well, where, and when; and under what circumstances? |
4675 | What ails you, Maud-- what can we do for you? |
4675 | What cheer brings thou from Rome, my gallant lad''? 4675 What is in the wind, Leonard, now? |
4675 | What lubberly trick is this? |
4675 | What means this cursed din? |
4675 | What means this tumult? |
4675 | What shall we do, sir, now that master Charles has turned up again? |
4675 | What think you, Bill, of this present vocation, eh? |
4675 | What''s that to me? |
4675 | When do you sail, captain? |
4675 | When will you guide me and a party of my people thither? |
4675 | Where we met? |
4675 | Where? 4675 Whereaway?" |
4675 | Who are you? |
4675 | Who could have possibly foreseen this strange, this opportune meeting? |
4675 | Who is she? |
4675 | Who? |
4675 | Whom? |
4675 | Why do you muse so long and lonely, my child? |
4675 | Why wait we? |
4675 | Why will you join such a set of rowdies, Hal? 4675 Why, is he not gentlemanly?" |
4675 | Why, look ye, messmates, arnt you satisfied so long as the articles you signed are kept by captain and crew? |
4675 | Why, who in the world are you? |
4675 | Why, yes, as to that matter; but where are we bound, Bill? |
4675 | Will it be asking too much, madam, to request a seat by your fire for myself and little girl for a few moments? 4675 Will you not permit me at least to thank you?" |
4675 | Would you like a little milk? |
4675 | You are not long arrived, Captain Ratlin? |
4675 | You have lost one lover? |
4675 | You have no fears? |
4675 | You will speak truly in what you tell me, my good girl? |
4675 | Ah, sir, why not turn your talents to a more fitting purpose? |
4675 | And how daintily she floats upon the waters?" |
4675 | And now, how fares the gentle maid whom I so long to see?" |
4675 | And what maiden can compare with her in loveliness?" |
4675 | And who so blithe as he I pray? |
4675 | Art well, my good fellow?" |
4675 | But of thyself, what speed? |
4675 | But what do you propose to reveal to me? |
4675 | But why do you look so pale, Helen?" |
4675 | Could he have deceived the girl? |
4675 | Could he have permitted such a result, had he been in Robert''s place? |
4675 | Could it have been fancy? |
4675 | Did I promise thee love?" |
4675 | Dost thou deem our spirits dead to all generous emotion? |
4675 | Had not she been accustomed to attention from earliest girlhood, and from the most polished men? |
4675 | Has any one been slandering the firemen? |
4675 | Have either of you been hurt?" |
4675 | Have the court scented me out?" |
4675 | How darest thou thus spoil good cheer?" |
4675 | How know you beyond all cavil, Leonard?" |
4675 | I do n''t see how he could do such a thing, do you, Charley?" |
4675 | Is it likely that two such persons as I have considered should be joined by intimate friendship? |
4675 | Know you not that it is forbidden, and that you are in danger of imprisonment?" |
4675 | O, God, must the roar of that terrible whirlpool ring in my ears forever?" |
4675 | O, May, will you forgive me? |
4675 | Perchance the maid whom thou hast pictured here, might interpose her pretty face to spoil so fair a plan?" |
4675 | Something touching this Captain Ratlin?" |
4675 | Take up the papers any morning, and what will you find under the Williamsburgh head? |
4675 | Tell me, sir, who is that man?" |
4675 | Tell me, where is Robert?" |
4675 | Trust?--what was the trust he held? |
4675 | We ask, was it guilt that made him act thus? |
4675 | What is that protruding from your pocket?" |
4675 | What mattered it to her that he was nameless, a wanderer, a slaver? |
4675 | What use in longer adherence to home and the lowly shepherd''s lot? |
4675 | What was it that had so strangely, so suddenly sacrificed him in the midst of his fell intent? |
4675 | What would your father say if he should see it?" |
4675 | Where shall we meet?" |
4675 | Where was he? |
4675 | Who am I? |
4675 | Who is she? |
4675 | Why, why can you not love me?" |
4675 | You are an English officer, agent of your government, and sent here to suppress this vile traffic?" |
4675 | You know where his vessel lies?" |
4675 | can such barriers as these be broken down by love? |
4675 | continued the latter,"or does love inspire the skill which thou hast here displayed?" |
4675 | cried the goldsmith,"has no gallant been tempted by your bright eyes to buy your liberty, as I bought mine of the king?" |
4675 | do you then consider that worth your anxiety?" |
4675 | exclaimed the prisoner aloud, as though he could bear this intensity of feeling no longer,"who is this man?" |
4675 | have I ever wronged you or your father?" |
4675 | murmured Gaspar, to himself,"heard one ever such elegant discourse?" |
4675 | repeated Captain Bramble,"what trick is this?" |
4675 | repeated the gentle being by his side,"what land?" |
4675 | said Miss Hetty, fluttered,"who can it be that wants to see me at this hour?" |
4675 | she said, interrupting herself,"I have been looking at the captain''s ship, yonder; is she not a noble craft? |
4675 | such were the thoughts which she murmured,"shall I be able to support life forever removed from thee? |
4675 | that is indeed an inhospitable shore; can we land there?" |
4675 | was it possible he could have been mistaken? |
4675 | what sound is that?" |
4675 | what''s that?" |
4675 | where?" |
4675 | will you-- will you not forgive me?" |
21070 | And did you succeed in getting everybody ashore safely? |
21070 | And pray, Ama, what is the nature of these Customs under your father''s beneficent rule? |
21070 | And supposin''I refuse? |
21070 | And was it from him, sir, that you also obtained the information upon the strength of which you determined upon this expedition? |
21070 | And who may you be, my friend, that you find it necessary to ask such a question? 21070 And, if it comes to that, why are the others firing, down by the boats?" |
21070 | Are we going to have a hurricane? |
21070 | Are we quite ready to go to sea, Mr Hoskins? |
21070 | Are you coward enough to revenge yourself upon a mere lad like myself? 21070 But what about the barracoon which you destroyed to- day, sir?" |
21070 | But whither are you taking me? 21070 Can not I always remain with you?" |
21070 | Cut adrift? |
21070 | D''ye see that, Mr Fortescue? |
21070 | Dark mass? |
21070 | Feeling bad, old chap? |
21070 | He lib for die now; what he want to tell me lie for? 21070 He promised you that, did he? |
21070 | Hear anything? |
21070 | Hear that, Silas? 21070 How did you discover that the ship was adrift? |
21070 | How far away is she? |
21070 | How shall I deal with you? 21070 I presoom, sir, it''s another boat job, eh? |
21070 | I say, is n''t this heat awful? 21070 I suppose it is not, by any chance, the craft which we are after, which has slipped out of the river in the darkness, eh?" |
21070 | It is thirsty work sitting there and grilling in the sun, is it not, lads? |
21070 | Jack,I called feebly,"you might bring me a drink presently, when you have finished with Nugent, will you? |
21070 | Like them? |
21070 | Might not that be the place from which those fellows draw their supplies of slaves? |
21070 | No mistake about that, eh? 21070 Oh, come, I say, Leroy, you surely do n''t mean to insinuate that you doubt my word, do you?" |
21070 | Oh, indeed,I replied, still affecting drowsiness;"what for? |
21070 | Sar, you lib for carry dem quinine powder dat dem doctor sarve out dis morning? |
21070 | That you, Mr Futtock? |
21070 | The ship, sir? |
21070 | Then what is going to happen? |
21070 | Then who is to say that I shall not be still included in the batch? |
21070 | There, do n''t ye see it, Mr Nugent, stretchin''athwart the back of the spit? 21070 Too far off for identification purposes, eh, Mr Fortescue?" |
21070 | Waal,exclaimed the Yankee skipper, when I at length refolded and handed the papers back to him,"are ye satisfied, stranger?" |
21070 | Well, Mr Fortescue, what do you make of her? |
21070 | Well, Tommy,I said,"what was old Marline blazing away at? |
21070 | Well, d''ye see anything? |
21070 | Well, doc.,he exclaimed cheerily,"how have things been going with you to- day?" |
21070 | What does this mean, monsieur? |
21070 | What is the cause of it? 21070 What the dickens should I know about her? |
21070 | What''s the matter with poor Nugent? |
21070 | When did he tell you this, Cupid? |
21070 | Where are Mr Fortescue and Mr Copplestone? |
21070 | Where away? |
21070 | Where do you wish to go, Dick? |
21070 | Whereabout is he, and how far off, do you reckon? |
21070 | Whereabout is she, Dixon? |
21070 | Who goes there? |
21070 | Why, you surely do n''t mean to say that Murdoch has been bowled over, too, do you? |
21070 | _ Cut adrift_? 21070 _ I_?" |
21070 | _ Must_ we part, Dick? |
21070 | And how was I to cure him? |
21070 | And just see if you can find us a biscuit or two and some butter, will ye, you black angel? |
21070 | And then what was to become of poor Ama, my gentle and loving companion? |
21070 | And then what were we to do? |
21070 | And what d''ye want, anyway, now that yew''re here, and be hanged to ye?" |
21070 | And what has become of all the wind? |
21070 | And what of the_ Dolphin_ and her crew? |
21070 | And where is Senor Morillo? |
21070 | And why? |
21070 | And yew''ll have to find her afore yew can fight for her, wo n''t yew, sonny? |
21070 | And you want a bath, do you? |
21070 | And-- I suppose-- that I may take it for granted that--""That you will make one of the` pleasure- party''?" |
21070 | And-- talking of sharks-- have you noticed how often we have seen the beggars following us since we have been in this ship? |
21070 | Besides, do you think_ I_ would allow any one to hurt you? |
21070 | Besides, if you should happen to be killed, what would become of us poor midshipmen?" |
21070 | But I suppose a fellow is not obliged to watch them, is he? |
21070 | But I take it that you did not come aboard here to discuss that matter with me?" |
21070 | But what about yourself? |
21070 | But what right have they to dictate to other nations, to say you shall do this, and shall not do that? |
21070 | But where do you propose to take me, Ama?" |
21070 | But where on earth have you sprung from? |
21070 | But whither were we bound; of what tribe or nation were the negroes who manned the canoe; and how had I come to be among them? |
21070 | But why_ here_ particularly? |
21070 | But will you not step in out of the sun?" |
21070 | But, tell me, Ama, where do the victims come from, and how many of them are usually sacrificed?" |
21070 | Considering whether you should attempt to swim across to the_ Gadfly_?" |
21070 | Could you distinguish the features of any of the people in the boat?" |
21070 | D''ye see anything of her?" |
21070 | D''ye see that there flag up there? |
21070 | D''ye see them handsome barkers of mine?" |
21070 | Did he tell you where the cauffle was coming from, and which way?" |
21070 | Did you catch the words? |
21070 | Did you feel her cables parting?" |
21070 | Did you get that hurt in the fight with the English?" |
21070 | Do you believe that the fellow is telling the truth, Cupid?" |
21070 | Do you care to increase my obligation to you by stating why your captain has such a-- prejudice, shall we call it, against British naval officers?" |
21070 | Do you see her, sir?" |
21070 | Do you think you will be able to find the gig, Cupid?" |
21070 | Does it not appear so to you?" |
21070 | Have you any idea?" |
21070 | He no want debbil to come after him and say,` Hi, you M''Pandala, why you tell dem white men lie about slabe cauffle comin''down to de coas''? |
21070 | How are we to ascertain the precise moment at which to expect the arrival of the slave- dealers? |
21070 | How are you feeling, Nugent? |
21070 | How have things gone with you, and where are the others?" |
21070 | How the mischief could you possibly be cut adrift from where you were anchored; and by whom? |
21070 | How was I to undeceive her; how make her understand the absolute impossibility of such a thing? |
21070 | I exclaimed excitedly to Favart, pointing at the same moment across the water--"do you see that cloud of dust yonder? |
21070 | I have taken it upon myself to turn out Monsieur Fortescue to see whether he can tell us anything about her?" |
21070 | I s''pose the mercury bag have n''t sprung a leak, by no chance, have it? |
21070 | I say, I suppose we have n''t made a mistake in our reckoning, and run down on to the Line unbeknownst, have we?" |
21070 | I suppose we ought to go fully armed?" |
21070 | If so, what was to be my ultimate fate? |
21070 | If this were the case, what, I asked myself, was she likely to be? |
21070 | Is he too ill, think you, to talk business? |
21070 | Is it permissible to inquire how you, a British officer, come to be adrift, quite alone, in a boat, in the middle of the Atlantic?" |
21070 | Is it that the place is so strongly fortified that they are confident of our inability to take it? |
21070 | Is the glass droppin''at all?" |
21070 | Is the stranger far enough out of the river to enable her to get clear away, think ye?" |
21070 | Is there anything wrong?" |
21070 | Is there such a thing knocking about anywhere here in the tent, I wonder?" |
21070 | Just step aft to the skylight, Mr Fortescue, and see what the time is, will ye? |
21070 | Neither of us said anything, however, until Marcel took the glass from his eye, when, seeing Leroy, he said:"What d''ye think of her, monsieur? |
21070 | No, I do n''t quite see--""Do you not, sir?" |
21070 | Now what are the other boats about that they have not seen her? |
21070 | Now, if yew was only lucky enough to fall in with_ her_, stranger, I guess she''d be a prize worth havin'', eh?" |
21070 | Now, the question is, What are we to do with regard to our unknown friend out yonder? |
21070 | Now, the question is: What is to be done with you? |
21070 | Or is there something else at the back of it all, of which we have not yet got an inkling?" |
21070 | Pray, monsieur, where did you come from; and are there any more of you?" |
21070 | Savvey? |
21070 | So that affair came off all right, eh? |
21070 | So, if you won''come in an''have a drink, take your ugly- lookin''mug out o''the daylight, d''ye hear?" |
21070 | Supposin''I was to report this outrage to my Gover''ment, what d''ye suppose would happen? |
21070 | Surely Mr Purchase can not have shifted his berth, for any reason? |
21070 | Surely that can not be the craft that we are after? |
21070 | Tell me, now, how long hast thou been like this?" |
21070 | Then how could you let us know when to expect the beggars?" |
21070 | Then, suddenly changing his tune, as he followed me out on deck and saw me glance round, he remarked:"Purty ship, ai n''t she? |
21070 | Then, turning to me, he demanded:"Who''s been makin''a fool of ye this time, stranger?" |
21070 | To the gate? |
21070 | Well, what do you want us to do?" |
21070 | Well, you know, you''ve got to prove what you say afore you can do anything, have n''t ye?" |
21070 | Were they, or were they not, imaginary? |
21070 | Wha''d''you mean, anyway, by comin''here and disturbin''gen''lemen when they''re busy? |
21070 | What about striking two bells, sir? |
21070 | What are your hurts?" |
21070 | What d''ye mean, Mr Fortescue?" |
21070 | What did you think of doing when the time comes for us to part?" |
21070 | What have you been doing over the side? |
21070 | What is your own opinion?" |
21070 | What more could any reasonable individual desire? |
21070 | What right have yew to shoot at a ship flyin''the galorious Stars and Stripes? |
21070 | What sort of a craft is she; and how far off?" |
21070 | What was about to happen? |
21070 | What was the row with Nugent?" |
21070 | What''s the matter?" |
21070 | When is the cauffle expected to arrive?" |
21070 | Where are you, I say? |
21070 | Where are you, Mr Perry?" |
21070 | Where is the carpenter? |
21070 | Who and what is he?" |
21070 | Who are they that they should presume to thrust their opinions down the throats of other people? |
21070 | Why d''ye ask the question, sir? |
21070 | Will you swear that, or will you die?" |
21070 | Will you take me with you; or must I go back to face a cruel and lingering death?" |
21070 | Yet what was to become of her? |
21070 | You are sure you will not come down? |
21070 | You heard that bell?" |
21070 | You see the force of my argument, I am sure, Monsieur Favart?" |
21070 | You surely do not intend to insinuate that any one of the ship''s company--?" |
21070 | did you hear_ that_, then, sir?" |
21070 | exclaimed Ama,"do you hear that, Dick? |
21070 | exclaimed the skipper, stopping short and staring at me as though he had seen a ghost--"is it possible? |
21070 | he called;"what is it?" |
21070 | is that Fortescue? |
21070 | reiterated Nugent;"what dark mass d''ye mean? |
21070 | remarked I, trying to look as though I knew all about it;"and of what did thy breakfast consist?" |
21070 | what has happened that I see nobody about? |
21070 | what has happened to the barometer?" |
21070 | where are you? |
21070 | who is it? |
21070 | why was the spray from the surf flying so much higher in one particular spot than elsewhere? |
8000 | ''And turkeys?'' 8000 ''Does the father go first?'' |
8000 | ''What do you pay for your tea and sugar here?'' 8000 ''Where is your husband, my good woman?'' |
8000 | ''Will yere Arn''r take a sate?'' 8000 During that time has there been an illegitimate child born there?" |
8000 | During that time have you known of any instance of an illegitimate child being born in the village of the Claddagh? |
8000 | Have there been here many illegitimate children? |
8000 | Have you ever known of any such case in Galway? |
8000 | Have you much crime here? |
8000 | How long have you been in charge of the Claddagh village? |
8000 | How long have you been on duty here? |
8000 | How long have you been on duty in Galway? |
8000 | How,says the same author,"can the Chinese"Regard the English in any other light than wholesale smugglers and wholesale dealers in poison? |
8000 | I visited the factories that used to support 200 men with their families, and how many men did I find at work? 8000 Now, what are the pursuits, the dwelling- houses, and the habits of these poor wretches? |
8000 | What do you mean by being reared up? |
8000 | What,it asks,"Will follow? |
8000 | [ 209] Why is it that the king is enabled to do these things? 8000 ''Why do you cry?'' 8000 *** And protection against whom? 8000 *** Can it be there are two of them? 8000 ***** Are we then to adopt a system of measures tending to the injury of the people of England? 8000 115''Is this system of eviction,''said I to the driver, pointing to a small cluster of unroofed cabins we were passing at the moment,''good or bad?'' |
8000 | Admitting that the grain and flour trade were thus centralized, what would be the effect of a succession of large crops, or even of a single one? |
8000 | Admitting, for a moment, that such a system existed, what would be the remedy? |
8000 | And how do they effect the fall? |
8000 | And what must be the verdict of future generations, as they peruse the history of these wrongs and outrages? |
8000 | And yet, even now, the_ Times_ asks the question--"How are the people to be fed and employed? |
8000 | Are Irishmen inferior in understanding? |
8000 | Are not the most laborious of all labourers in London and New York, Irishmen? |
8000 | Are these things to be found in India? |
8000 | Are we to believe,"says he,"the calumny that the Irish are lazy and wo n''t work? |
8000 | But on whom must rest the responsibility for a state of things so hideous as that here exhibited? |
8000 | But think you the poor wretch had committed a heinous offence, and had been convicted thereof, and sentenced to the lash? |
8000 | But why extend the catalogue? |
8000 | But, electors, how does it operate on you? |
8000 | Can such a system be a natural one? |
8000 | Can such scenes be paralleled in Siberia or Caffraria?" |
8000 | Can the people of this country become parties to a system like this-- one that looks to cheapening labour every where? |
8000 | Can they be found in Ireland, in Turkey, or in Portugal? |
8000 | Can they be parties to any system that can be maintained only on the condition of"an abundant and cheap supply of labour?" |
8000 | Could there be a greater tyranny than this? |
8000 | Do the planters profit by good crops? |
8000 | Do they profit by improvements in the transportation of their commodity? |
8000 | Does Demerara stand alone in its misfortune? |
8000 | Does she desire that manufactures shall rise, that towns shall grow, and that the land shall acquire value? |
8000 | Does the reader remember some gorgeous sheets of colored gelatine in the French department of the Great Exhibition? |
8000 | HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED? |
8000 | HOW CAN SLAVERY BE EXTINGUISHED? |
8000 | Have we really a free constitution? |
8000 | How can slavery be extinguished, and man be made free? |
8000 | How can this be done for Ireland? |
8000 | How can this be done? |
8000 | How could it be otherwise in a country in which"labourers, whether well off or not, never attempt to be better? |
8000 | How do you like it? |
8000 | How does it work? |
8000 | How is this to be proved? |
8000 | How shall slavery be abolished? |
8000 | How was all this done? |
8000 | How, indeed, could it be otherwise than that the reward of labour should rise? |
8000 | How? |
8000 | I repeat, how does this operate on you? |
8000 | If he could do this would he not become a freer man? |
8000 | If, under these circumstances, King Ferdinand is enabled to play the tyrant, upon whom rests the blame? |
8000 | In what country of civilized Europe has the peasant so light a burden to bear? |
8000 | Is Irish human nature different from other human nature? |
8000 | Is it not clear that the labour of converting the cotton into yarn is not one- quarter as great as was the labour of raising, the cotton itself? |
8000 | Is it not indeed beginning at the wrong end to try and reform men, after they have become criminals? |
8000 | Is it the labourer? |
8000 | Is it the landlord? |
8000 | Is there no mode of escaping from this thraldom? |
8000 | Looking on them, the doubt rose in my mind, am I in a civilized country? |
8000 | Must our children always be deprived of schools? |
8000 | Must our women always labour in the field? |
8000 | Must the slave trade last for ever? |
8000 | Must we continue for ever to raise negroes for sale? |
8000 | Need we wonder at the poverty of India when thus taxed, while deprived of all power even to manure its land? |
8000 | Or to Portugal, the weakest and most wretched of the communities of Europe? |
8000 | Or, can they be parties to an alliance that, wherever it is found, so far cheapens man as to render him a profitable article for the export trade? |
8000 | Sell what? |
8000 | Shall we look to Ireland for the proof? |
8000 | The ground had already been freshly manured by sea- weeds, but the village, where was it? |
8000 | The people of Austria and Hungary are weak, but has England ever tried to render them strong to obtain their freedom? |
8000 | The people of China are weak, but does the consumption of opium to the extent of forty millions of dollars a year tend to strengthen them? |
8000 | The reader may determine for himself if this is not a fair picture of the cotton trade? |
8000 | Then he adds,''Do you see those three hundred men who have just walked out? |
8000 | They often say,''You are not treating that child properly; it will not live:_ is it in the club_?'' |
8000 | This is all most true, but what does it prove in regard to British policy? |
8000 | This is quite true; but why did these men come? |
8000 | This is slavery, and under such a system how could the wretched people be other than slaves? |
8000 | This system is to be carried out by producing"unlimited competition"and in what is it to exist? |
8000 | To this what would be the reply? |
8000 | To whom? |
8000 | Turkey is weak; and why is it so? |
8000 | Under such circumstances, how could your infant establishments hope to exist? |
8000 | Upon the planter? |
8000 | Upon whom, now, must rest the responsibility for such a state of things as is here exhibited? |
8000 | We are now frequently invited to an alliance with Great Britain, and for what? |
8000 | We are told of his designs upon Turkey-- but what have the_ people_ of that country to lose by incorporation within the Russian Empire? |
8000 | Well is it asked by Dr. Allen, in his pamphlet on"The Opium Trade,"( Lowell, 1853,)"Can such an unrighteous course in a nation always prosper?" |
8000 | What are the districts which together form the county of Berbice? |
8000 | What art turning thy head for? |
8000 | What commercial partnership, what industrious household exhibits so direct an exchange of services? |
8000 | What inducement can she, then, offer in consideration of an alliance with her? |
8000 | What is the result? |
8000 | What more horrible symptom of moral degradation can be conceived? |
8000 | What professed friend of the people can boast to have done more, or yet so much, for so many millions of men?" |
8000 | What slavery can be worse than this? |
8000 | What was to be done? |
8000 | What worse slavery can we have than this? |
8000 | What, however, becomes of the poor free negro? |
8000 | What, however, finally becomes of the corn? |
8000 | What, in the meanwhile, became of him? |
8000 | What, then,_ are_ the laws under which man"lives and moves and has his being?" |
8000 | Where, however, is it? |
8000 | Where, however, lies the fault of all this? |
8000 | Where? |
8000 | Who is it, however, that is to furnish this capital? |
8000 | Who profits by the reduction of cost of transportation and conversion? |
8000 | Who''ll work? |
8000 | Who, then, are our natural allies? |
8000 | Who, then, are responsible for the subjection of the Spanish people? |
8000 | Why did not the owners of property reside on their estates? |
8000 | Why do they not? |
8000 | Why does she so? |
8000 | Why is it so? |
8000 | Why is it that men in Africa sell their fellow- men to be transported to Cuba or Brazil? |
8000 | Why is it that the light and easily transported spindle and loom are not placed in and about the cotton fields? |
8000 | Why is this so? |
8000 | Why is this? |
8000 | Why should Virginia import potatoes and hay, cheese and butter? |
8000 | Why was it so? |
8000 | Why, however, did this absenteeism exist? |
8000 | Why, however, he will probably ask, is it that they do so waste it? |
8000 | Why? |
8000 | Why?_ Labour is the creator of all wealth. |
8000 | Will this tend to strengthen, or to free, the Chinese people? |
8000 | With such a diet, how much better is he than an Irishman-- a Celt, as he calls him? |
8000 | With such positive and immediate evils to contend with, what wonder that so many needlewomen take''the wages of sin?''" |
8000 | Would he not approach the miller, cap in hand, and would not the latter receive him with his hat on his head? |
8000 | Would not every one be anxious to anticipate the apprehended fall of prices by being early in the market? |
8000 | Would not freights be high? |
8000 | Would not storage be high? |
8000 | Would not the export of Coolies cease if man could be rendered more, valuable in India than in Jamaica or Guiana? |
8000 | Would not the farmer, on his arrival in Rochester, find that every store- house was filled to overflowing? |
8000 | Would not the farmers find themselves to be mere slaves to the owners of a small quantity of mill machinery? |
8000 | Would not the roads be covered with wagons whenever they were passable, and even at times when, they were almost impassable? |
8000 | [ 43] How indeed can it be otherwise? |
8000 | _ One_ of these traders asked her what was the matter with her eyes? |
8000 | art blind? |
8000 | how does it affect home trade, the shopkeeper, poor''s rate, and taxation? |
8000 | those men are listening-- have I got you now? |
12507 | Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky? 12507 Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil? |
12507 | Again, as to compacts, had the Africans ever been parties to these? |
12507 | An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery, to say that another would have committed it?" |
12507 | And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny? |
12507 | Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use? |
12507 | Because a practice had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just? |
12507 | Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation? |
12507 | Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it? |
12507 | But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce? |
12507 | But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London? |
12507 | But did not the Slave- trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition? |
12507 | But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it? |
12507 | But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them? |
12507 | But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition? |
12507 | But had such a trade as the Slave- trade ever existed before? |
12507 | But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power? |
12507 | But how did we know this? |
12507 | But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself? |
12507 | But how was this reconcileable with facts? |
12507 | But how? |
12507 | But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend? |
12507 | But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrection? |
12507 | But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them? |
12507 | But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual? |
12507 | But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?" |
12507 | But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws? |
12507 | But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity? |
12507 | But suppose it were allowed, that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver? |
12507 | But to whom? |
12507 | But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall? |
12507 | But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adulterers? |
12507 | But was not the reason obvious? |
12507 | But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power? |
12507 | But was this the case with the Slave- trade? |
12507 | But were they prepared to pay the price of their virtue on this great occasion? |
12507 | But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates? |
12507 | But what kind of morality was this? |
12507 | But what regulations by the British Parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared? |
12507 | But what right had we to be judges of their condition? |
12507 | But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started? |
12507 | But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us? |
12507 | But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent? |
12507 | But what then? |
12507 | But what was it that we wished to abolish? |
12507 | But what was the sequel? |
12507 | But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings were treated? |
12507 | But what would be the amount of it? |
12507 | But when the question was put to Mr. Ross, did he not answer,"that he would not insult the latter by a comparison?" |
12507 | But where was the analogy of the cases? |
12507 | But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings? |
12507 | But why had the trade ever been permitted at all? |
12507 | But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother? |
12507 | But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages? |
12507 | But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater? |
12507 | By what means was it kept up in Africa? |
12507 | Could it be called humanity to forbear from committing murder? |
12507 | Could they be in all places at once? |
12507 | Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery? |
12507 | Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out? |
12507 | Did he not also forget the sacred attention, which Parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals? |
12507 | Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions? |
12507 | Did it become us to cast the first stone? |
12507 | Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there? |
12507 | Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all? |
12507 | Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done? |
12507 | For any thing he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account? |
12507 | For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings? |
12507 | Had any thing happened to change the opinion of members since? |
12507 | Had he not ears? |
12507 | Had he not organs, senses, and passions? |
12507 | Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired? |
12507 | Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents, that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa? |
12507 | Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary? |
12507 | Had not an African eyes? |
12507 | Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition? |
12507 | Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands? |
12507 | Had they not prohibited the exports of provisions from America to the same quarter? |
12507 | Had this been answered? |
12507 | Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment? |
12507 | He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived? |
12507 | How could Africa ever be civilized under it? |
12507 | How dared he then to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature? |
12507 | How then were we to decide this important question? |
12507 | How was it ever to be eradicated, if every nation was thus prudentially to wait till the concurrence of all the world should be obtained? |
12507 | How was this immense property and income to be preserved? |
12507 | If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now? |
12507 | If you poisoned him, would he not die? |
12507 | If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture and bleed? |
12507 | If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope? |
12507 | Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task? |
12507 | No idea could be more absurd: for, was it not its duty to correct abuses? |
12507 | Now how did this language sound? |
12507 | Now it would naturally be asked, Was not this captain also gibbered alive? |
12507 | Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves? |
12507 | On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed that she was never to be reclaimed? |
12507 | Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change? |
12507 | Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries? |
12507 | That the Slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty? |
12507 | The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust? |
12507 | The latter asked, who had punished him so dreadfully? |
12507 | Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions? |
12507 | Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms? |
12507 | Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it? |
12507 | Was it not evident, that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them? |
12507 | Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel? |
12507 | Was it not plain that she must suffer from it? |
12507 | Was it not the Slave- trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned? |
12507 | Was it not therefore idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it? |
12507 | Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave- trade? |
12507 | Was it possible to believe, that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty? |
12507 | Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property? |
12507 | Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles? |
12507 | Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour? |
12507 | Was not this an awful consideration for this country? |
12507 | Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine? |
12507 | Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there? |
12507 | Were these then a people incapable of civilization? |
12507 | What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine? |
12507 | What are the different ways of reducing to slavery the inhabitants of that part of Africa, which is under the dominion of France? |
12507 | What are the various evils belonging to the transportation of the Africans from their own country? |
12507 | What bill could prevent fraud and violence in Africa, while the Slave- trade existed there? |
12507 | What good would it do them? |
12507 | What is the state of society there with respect to government, industry, and the arts? |
12507 | What judges could we get for such an office? |
12507 | What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference? |
12507 | What should we think of those, who should say, that it was their interest to injure us? |
12507 | What then was the importation of fresh Africans but a system, tending to the general ruin of the islands? |
12507 | What then was the probability of our example being followed by foreign powers? |
12507 | What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age? |
12507 | What was the answer from Grenada? |
12507 | What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves? |
12507 | What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use, which left indelible marks behind them; and who would say, that these were used justly? |
12507 | What were the causes of the insurrections there? |
12507 | What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open? |
12507 | When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large? |
12507 | When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful? |
12507 | Where bolder assertions of the rights of mankind, than in Tacitus and Thucydides? |
12507 | Where could be found finer sentiments of liberty than in Demosthenes and Cicero? |
12507 | Where was the impracticability, on which alone so many had rested their objections? |
12507 | Whether it was humane, just, and politic in us so to place them? |
12507 | Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad? |
12507 | Who would endure such a law? |
12507 | Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus? |
12507 | Why did we make laws to punish men? |
12507 | Why then should we promote them in the West Indies? |
12507 | Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour? |
12507 | Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature? |
12507 | Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey? |
12507 | Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles? |
12507 | Would not our virtue be the more signal? |
12507 | Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market? |
12507 | Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder? |
12507 | and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre? |
12507 | and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder? |
12507 | and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge? |
12507 | do you buy me, who am a great trader?" |
12507 | had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace? |
12507 | that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious? |
12507 | were they goods and chattels? |
12507 | what proportion did this number bear to twelve hundred? |
12507 | whether the West Indies, at this hour, were not in a state, in which they could maintain their population? |
21060 | And how did you manage to effect your escape after all? |
21060 | And how was_ she_ painted? |
21060 | Any damage done, Hawkesley? |
21060 | Are you_ quite sure_? |
21060 | Ay ay, sir,I responded;"but--"with a somewhat blank look at the tall, straight, smooth stem to which he pointed,"where are the ratlines?" |
21060 | But of course he cast you all adrift first, and gave you at least a_ chance_ to save your lives? |
21060 | But you have taken care to see that the magazines are now all right?-- that there are no more live fuzes in them? |
21060 | By the by,I suddenly added, moved by an impulse which I could neither analyse nor account for,"of what nationality was the leader of the pirates? |
21060 | By the way, Smellie, do you think this Don Manuel was quite plain and above- board with you? 21060 Did any of her people board you?" |
21060 | Did anyone speak on board you, Armitage? |
21060 | Did you catch sight of the look- out? |
21060 | Did you hear anyone speak on board the second cutter then? |
21060 | Do I understand you to mean that you have_ murdered_ him? |
21060 | Do n''t you recognise my voice, Madre? |
21060 | Do you see that very tall tree shooting up above the rest, almost directly ahead? |
21060 | Do you see that, sir? |
21060 | Do you see the sloop, sir? |
21060 | Halold? |
21060 | Have you mentioned the matter to Captain Vernon yet, sir? |
21060 | Have you sighted a sail of any kind to- day? |
21060 | Have_ you_, too, suspected the brig? |
21060 | How are we to find the creek in such weather as this, Mr Hawkesley? |
21060 | How is she painted? |
21060 | How many people do you think there are in the cabin? |
21060 | How much is it? |
21060 | I asked whether you ever said your prayers: I ought to have said, rather, do you ever pray? 21060 Is it possible that the crew have taken the ship from their officers, think you?" |
21060 | Is she all black, or does she sometimes sport a white riband? |
21060 | Is she not in the house? |
21060 | Lend me the glass a moment, will you? 21060 Mornin'', gentlemen,"observed this individual, in response to our salutation;"powerful hot; ai n''t it?" |
21060 | Mr Smellie,said I,"do you know that craft?" |
21060 | No, sir,I whispered back;"did you?" |
21060 | Now, Mildmay,bending over the chart,"whereabouts is the_ Daphne_?" |
21060 | Now, what could you possibly have noticed of a suspicious character in the poor fellow''s conduct this morning? |
21060 | Oh, you''re come on board to join, eh? |
21060 | Reef? 21060 Seven years, have you?" |
21060 | Shall I send Burnett to you, or can you come on board the sloop? |
21060 | Sir? |
21060 | Sir? |
21060 | So you are English? 21060 So, monsieur,"he resumed,"you were about to blow us up, eh? |
21060 | That is how the wind blows, is it? 21060 The French boat? |
21060 | There, Hawkesley, what do you think of that for a compliment? |
21060 | Three, eh? 21060 Was that object which we caught sight of some distance ahead, just now, the schooner?" |
21060 | Well, Dick, what do you think of Captain Vernon''s proposal? |
21060 | Well, Mr Armitage, what is it? |
21060 | Well, Mr Hawkesley, is there anything in sight, from your perch aloft there, worth looking at? |
21060 | Well, Mr Hawkesley, what news from the burning ship? |
21060 | Well, Tom, what is it? 21060 Well, Tom,"said I,"what about the guns?--are they loaded?" |
21060 | Well,he whispered, first drawing me away from the open scuttle,"what have you discovered?" |
21060 | What chip dis is, eh? |
21060 | What do you want? |
21060 | What is it that you can not understand, Hawkesley? |
21060 | What is it, Mr Armitage? |
21060 | What is that away there on our lee bow, sir? |
21060 | What is the_ Vestale_ like? |
21060 | What is to prevent our_ seizing the schooner_, sir? |
21060 | What sort of a craft is she? 21060 What was he doing?" |
21060 | What was it the fellow said? |
21060 | Where are we going, Tom? |
21060 | Where are you taking the ship? |
21060 | Where was I? |
21060 | Which do you think will be the easier plan of the two: to climb the tree, or to make our way through the bush to the spot? |
21060 | Who calls? |
21060 | Who calls? |
21060 | Why do you ask, sir? 21060 Why, Hawkesley, is that you?" |
21060 | Why, what_ is_ there to understand about her? 21060 Why? |
21060 | You see that craft there? 21060 You see these scratches?" |
21060 | You surely do n''t need the sail for a run half- way across the harbour? |
21060 | You think, then, he might alter her appearance as soon as he got outside? |
21060 | Your mate? 21060 _ Who shall say how many of us will live to return_?" |
21060 | A slight and barely perceptible pause; and then--"What schooner is that?" |
21060 | And I hopes, sir, as how you wo n''t bear no malice again''me for just tryin''a bit to see what sort o''stuff you was made of, as it were?" |
21060 | And had she not also heard and seen me mistaken for a lord? |
21060 | And if it was a signal, what did it mean''s and to whom was it made? |
21060 | And pray, Mr Hawkesley, what success have_ you_ met with in Cupid''s warfare?" |
21060 | And was it not our duty to submit to that Will, to endure patiently whatever might be in store for us? |
21060 | And what could I do? |
21060 | And where was Mr Austin during this stealthy movement? |
21060 | And why, in the name of fortune, should they want to interfere with us at all? |
21060 | Are the grappling- irons all ready?" |
21060 | Are they too serious to be attended to in my cabin? |
21060 | Are you in a fit state to meet your God? |
21060 | Are you le capitaine of this vaisseau?" |
21060 | At length Captain Vernon said:"By- the- by, Hawkesley, what sort of a young lady is this Dona Antonia whom Mr Smellie has mentioned once or twice?" |
21060 | But I can steer easily with one hand now?" |
21060 | But did you not think it strange that he should be in such a tremendous hurry to come on board us this morning? |
21060 | But how is that to be done?" |
21060 | But the sun is getting low; had we not better be moving, sir?" |
21060 | But what brings you down here, Montmorenci? |
21060 | But what of your hurts? |
21060 | But, Hawkesley, my dear boy, are we in our sober senses, or is this only a delightful dream? |
21060 | But, by the by, where is the French boat all this time?" |
21060 | But, my dear boy, are you prepared to die? |
21060 | But, there, what matters? |
21060 | But-- let there be no more of it-- do you understand?" |
21060 | By Jove, Hawkesley, that was a narrow squeak, eh? |
21060 | By the way, are you anything of a shot?" |
21060 | Can anyone suggest anything?" |
21060 | Can we see him?" |
21060 | Can you tell me which of the two brigs-- the_ Vestale_ or the_ Black Venus_--sailed first from the river?" |
21060 | Can you use your right arm?" |
21060 | Captain Vernon stared hard at the second lieutenant for a minute, and then said:"My dear Smellie, what in the world are you talking about? |
21060 | Could it be possible that the Frenchmen had_ not_ escaped after all? |
21060 | Could it be possible that we had been deceived, after all, as to the circumstances of Dona Antonia''s abduction? |
21060 | Did I wish this? |
21060 | Did n''t you hear the gentleman say as how we was to` crack on''because he''s in a hurry? |
21060 | Did you not say you saw her?" |
21060 | Did you say as Mr Smellie and Mr Hawkesley was on board you?" |
21060 | Do you hear, sir?" |
21060 | Do you not recognise my voice, Collins?" |
21060 | Do you not think it would be a good plan for one of us to shin up a tree and take a look round before we go any further? |
21060 | Do you not think the matter ought to be reported to Captain Vernon?" |
21060 | Do you see her?" |
21060 | Do you see that bright red star close to the horizon, coxswain? |
21060 | Do you think he was a_ Frenchman_?" |
21060 | Do you wish to see him?" |
21060 | Has she not turned up at the creek?" |
21060 | Have matters gone wrong at the head of the creek?" |
21060 | Have you come down to join?" |
21060 | Have you ever fallen in with such a man as I have described him to be?" |
21060 | Have you nerve enough for the adventure?" |
21060 | Hawkesley, do you think you ever met either of those men before?" |
21060 | He ran over these carefully, and then said:"How long do you expect it will take you to cross?" |
21060 | How dare you cry out in that ridiculous fashion, Flanaghan? |
21060 | How do you think it looks for accuracy?" |
21060 | How does your shoulder feel? |
21060 | How have you been steering, coxswain?" |
21060 | How in the world do you manage it?" |
21060 | How is her head, coxswain?" |
21060 | How many hands shall I send you?" |
21060 | How shall I describe her? |
21060 | How would you like that? |
21060 | I exclaimed;"is it not a craft of some sort?" |
21060 | I suppose_ he_ does nothing in the slave- trading business, eh?" |
21060 | I''ll be bound they know every inch of the river, and could find their way out blindfold?" |
21060 | If they are, what is to prevent our seizing one and making our way down the river without further ado?" |
21060 | Is it shipwrecked, stranded, and cast away we are on the back of a say- crocodile? |
21060 | Is that Mr Armitage?" |
21060 | Lifting my legs, therefore, coolly up on the side seat out of reach of the water, I said:"How long have you been a sailor, coxswain?" |
21060 | Misther Hawkesley, am I to have the pleasure of showin''ye the way on board the hooker yonder?" |
21060 | Mr Hawkesley, d''ye think you can pitch a bullet into that long chap that''s creeping up there on our larboard beam? |
21060 | My owners had unfortunately sent me to sea with only half a dozen muskets on board, and not an ounce of powder or shot; so what could I do? |
21060 | My_ dear_ Lord Henry, how are you? |
21060 | Need I say that, between us, we emptied it? |
21060 | Now I_ hope_ I have not offended you?" |
21060 | Now are you all ready? |
21060 | Now do you happen to know anything about the speed of the current in the river?" |
21060 | Now it is evident that the slave fleet and the entrance to the creek are situate_ somewhere or other_ on these two lines; the question is--_where_? |
21060 | Now let''s go and cement our friend ship over a bottle of wine at the` Blue Posts,''what do you say?" |
21060 | Now whereabouts are your hurts?" |
21060 | Now, Tom, are you ready there, for''ard? |
21060 | Now, at what time do you propose to start?" |
21060 | Now, what do you say-- are you still resolved to go?" |
21060 | Now, where was it? |
21060 | Or rather, what is there that is incomprehensible about her?" |
21060 | Perhaps you will increase our obligation to you by informing me what you have done with Mr Austin?" |
21060 | Pointing to herself and repeating her name, she next pointed to Smellie and asked:"Ingeya?" |
21060 | Shall I bind up your shoulder for you? |
21060 | So Richards shared your suspicions, did he?" |
21060 | So this is the scene of the struggle, eh?" |
21060 | The same thought evidently struck Smellie, for he turned to me and exclaimed breathlessly:"Dona Antonia!--where can she be?" |
21060 | Then he added hurriedly:"By the way, do you know my friend Tomnoddy? |
21060 | Then, as if inspired with a sudden suspicion, he asked:"Have you seen any men- o''-war in here lately?" |
21060 | They are not? |
21060 | This was done, our lads leaving the guns for a few minutes for the purpose; but-- will it be credited? |
21060 | Tomnoddy, do you remember, by the by--?" |
21060 | Um-- ah-- eh? |
21060 | Was I_ afraid_? |
21060 | Was he aware of it? |
21060 | What brig is that?" |
21060 | What can you do?" |
21060 | What could it mean? |
21060 | What did it mean? |
21060 | What do you mean? |
21060 | What is she like?" |
21060 | What is the name of this rope?" |
21060 | What is to be done? |
21060 | What is your name?" |
21060 | What''s the matter on board? |
21060 | Whereaway do you suppose the creek to be?" |
21060 | Which is equivalent to saying that the tree bears south- south- east from the_ Daphne_; is it not?" |
21060 | Whither away, Dick, my lad? |
21060 | Who calls for me so loudly?" |
21060 | Who had uttered them, indeed? |
21060 | Who may you be, pray?" |
21060 | Who were they, and what could they possibly want? |
21060 | Why are you going to sea without a full cargo? |
21060 | Why not? |
21060 | Why wo n''t the stupid donkeys take a hint? |
21060 | Why, Hawkesley, where in the world have you been, and what doing, man? |
21060 | Why, if my suspicions were correct, had they invited the officers of the_ Daphne_ on board to dinner? |
21060 | Why, you never mean to say you have had to_ fight_ for the schooner?" |
21060 | Why?" |
21060 | Will you join us, Austin? |
21060 | Would she or would she not alter her course before observing our signal? |
21060 | Would that suit you? |
21060 | Would the natives attempt another attack that night under cover of the fog? |
21060 | You have no objection, I presume?" |
21060 | You have, of course, heard of the Fitz- Jones family-- the Fitz- J- o- h- n- e- s''s, you know?" |
21060 | _ A negress_? |
21060 | are you here? |
21060 | are you hurt?" |
21060 | exclaimed Mildmay,"what''s the meaning of this? |
21060 | excuse me, but I really wish you could have seen yourself when that mischievous friend of mine accused you of-- of-- what was it? |
21060 | he hailed,"has Captain Vernon yet retired for the night?" |
21060 | how is that?" |
21060 | say you so? |
21060 | that''s it, is it?" |
21060 | that''s it, is it?" |
21060 | what was that? |
21060 | who spoke?" |
21060 | you thought to play a trick upon your old friend Fitz- Jones, did you? |
18683 | Ai n''t that so, old man? |
18683 | Am I to take the gun? |
18683 | And what we''re up to is worse than all the rest, is n''t it? |
18683 | Are they good? |
18683 | Are you awake? |
18683 | Are you hurt? |
18683 | Are you? |
18683 | Be this the chap? |
18683 | Be you a son of old Bras Granger? |
18683 | Been to breakfast? 18683 But what is a propeller?" |
18683 | But why should I do it, grandpa? |
18683 | Ca n''t I stick these wherever I want to? |
18683 | Could n''t we ship on that other vessel? |
18683 | Could n''t you keep yourself out of trouble? |
18683 | D''ye think you''d like to spend all your time down there? |
18683 | Did n''t I say that the son of the man as killed your father was comin''by the Laurel Branch this mornin''? 18683 Did n''t I tell you to go straight to the city hall and procure my license?" |
18683 | Did''e think it was wings? |
18683 | Do n''t know me? |
18683 | Do n''t, eh? 18683 Do you know of a man here called Captain Shard?" |
18683 | Do you mean how would I like to be a sailor? |
18683 | Do you think I had better? |
18683 | Do you want to spend a year or so in a Yankee jail? |
18683 | Duff told you this, did he? |
18683 | Felt me pressin''your chist, did n''t you? |
18683 | Finally, did you know that this brother of my mother was the man who shot your father? |
18683 | Follow the sea? |
18683 | For good and all? |
18683 | From the mountains, ai n''t you? |
18683 | Go where, sir? |
18683 | Going to snooze all day? |
18683 | Got any money? |
18683 | Got my telegram, did you? |
18683 | Had n''t I better remain with you? |
18683 | Hain''t you learned to ride yet? |
18683 | Hark? |
18683 | Have n''t I been raised among''em? 18683 Have ye any license?" |
18683 | Have you no manners? |
18683 | Hi, Marse Tom, who be dat yo''got dar? 18683 How came you in here?" |
18683 | How can we tell which is which when they''re all alike as two ha''pence? |
18683 | How many bills have you put up? |
18683 | How would you like to follow the sea for a living? |
18683 | How''s that? |
18683 | I say,began the lad,"are you fellows going down the mountain? |
18683 | I wonder if many ship captains are like him? 18683 I wonder why?" |
18683 | Is it customary to stop them on the high seas, and send a boat aboard to find out? |
18683 | Is n''t it horrible? |
18683 | Is that Captain Gary''s ship? |
18683 | Is that the kid''s grub? |
18683 | Is yo''gwine ter stay in yere all day? |
18683 | Like these? |
18683 | May I give those people below some water, sir? |
18683 | Mine? 18683 Mr. Duff,"said Gary in his most grating tones,"who gave you the authority to interfere with my designs regarding this insolent youngster?" |
18683 | Must I do it, grandpa? |
18683 | Must I drink it? |
18683 | Need any money, for clothes, and so on? |
18683 | No use to offer you a dram then? |
18683 | Now do you know who he is? |
18683 | Now, Ralph,continued he with lazy cordiality, as if he had known the youth for weeks instead of minutes,"what do you know about a sailor''s life?" |
18683 | Now, Ralph,said Mr. Quigg, after the trunks and other movables had been taken inside,"do you know what a poster is?" |
18683 | Now, can you draw a good bead on him when he comes in sight? |
18683 | Now, men,began the captain, when all had assumed a decorous silence,"what do you think that war ship supposed we were?" |
18683 | Ralph,called Duff,"are you all right, my lad?" |
18683 | So I must look out for squalls, must I? |
18683 | So you want to try the sea, eh? 18683 Son of old Bras?" |
18683 | Suppose I do n''t uphold the deed? |
18683 | Suppose I do; what then? |
18683 | Suppose he had got mad when he pumped out of me who I was? 18683 Tell me you wo n''t, eh?" |
18683 | That beats pine knots, do n''t it? |
18683 | That would n''t be honest, would it? |
18683 | That you, Ralph? |
18683 | That you, Ralph? |
18683 | Then I ai n''t really got a right to stick my bills anywhere, have I? |
18683 | Then your job did n''t last long? |
18683 | Tildy Dopples a relative of yours? |
18683 | Tis, eh? 18683 W- h- a- a- t?" |
18683 | Was it you outside? |
18683 | Was your father''s name Ralph, too? |
18683 | Well now,remarked Ralph, on the conclusion of the story,"what are we to do?" |
18683 | Well, my lad, what is it you want of me? |
18683 | Well, nephew,said he in a cordial, hearty tone,"how are you? |
18683 | Well, what is it you want of me-- a-- what is your name? |
18683 | Well, what now, Granger? |
18683 | Well? |
18683 | Well? |
18683 | Wh-- where is my train then? |
18683 | Wh-- where shall I go? |
18683 | Wh-- who are-- you? |
18683 | What are ye progin''round this time o''night for? |
18683 | What are you doing? |
18683 | What business you got with a gun? 18683 What d''ye mean?" |
18683 | What did that? |
18683 | What did you suppose it might be? |
18683 | What did you want in my pocket? |
18683 | What do you call that brass horn? |
18683 | What do you mean? |
18683 | What has happened? 18683 What has the boy done?" |
18683 | What have yon seen-- or heard, for that matter? 18683 What in heaven''s name is it all about?" |
18683 | What is his name? 18683 What is it makes things go?" |
18683 | What is it, Sam? |
18683 | What is that? 18683 What is that?" |
18683 | What is that? |
18683 | What is the use of forever brooding over old scores? 18683 What is the use of tiring myself out?" |
18683 | What kind of a man is he? |
18683 | What now? |
18683 | What of that? |
18683 | What schooner is this? |
18683 | What will we do when our grub gives out? |
18683 | What will you have? |
18683 | What yo''reckon a gen''lemun like he wanter sech a boy as you? 18683 What you goin''to do?" |
18683 | What''s that, sir? |
18683 | What''s that? |
18683 | What''s the matter with you? 18683 What''your name?" |
18683 | Where am I? |
18683 | Where are we? |
18683 | Where are we? |
18683 | Where can I find Captain Gary? |
18683 | Where can he be, I wonder? |
18683 | Where there were so many wagons and carriages around? |
18683 | Where will I find him, sir? |
18683 | Where you carryin''yourself to? 18683 Where''d you get your trainin''?" |
18683 | Where? |
18683 | Whether it is so or not? |
18683 | Who are you? |
18683 | Who sent you to me? |
18683 | Why ai n''t you killed him afore? |
18683 | Why did n''t you tell me that the walls were not free? |
18683 | Why did you not let me pay mine? |
18683 | Why should I be reading the captain''s letters? |
18683 | Wo n''t they take the town? |
18683 | Wot will''e do short handed with a hundred or more black devils aboard in case trouble comes? 18683 Would, eh?" |
18683 | Yo''membah dat big liv''ry stable on de Main Street as we come erlong? |
18683 | You have to say those things, or people will not think anything of you-- see? |
18683 | Ai n''t I a wukin''fer dat same man de bigger heft er de time?" |
18683 | Ai n''t it a good trade?" |
18683 | Ai n''t she a beauty?" |
18683 | Am I right?" |
18683 | And that a brother of hers was killed in a duel by a cousin of your father''s?" |
18683 | And yonder-- do you see that low lying, black schooner under the lee of Tybee light?" |
18683 | Are any more of you alive?" |
18683 | Are you sick of this cruise already, Jacob Duff? |
18683 | Bludson?" |
18683 | But how did I get loose?" |
18683 | But where are you bound for after you get down there?" |
18683 | By the way, what''s your name?" |
18683 | Ca n''t a body stir''thout you havin''a fit?" |
18683 | Ca n''t''e hear that?" |
18683 | Can you cook?" |
18683 | Come now; are you ready?" |
18683 | D''ye hear?" |
18683 | D''ye understand?" |
18683 | Dat all is it?" |
18683 | Did Bludson treat you well? |
18683 | Did n''t you as good as save my life? |
18683 | Did you bring any kit along?" |
18683 | Did you think it was to wash with?" |
18683 | Do n''t you know me yet?" |
18683 | Do n''t you see-- we''re gone? |
18683 | Do n''t you see? |
18683 | Does the sea make you sick?" |
18683 | Drunk?" |
18683 | Duff was white to the lips,"D''ye want to see murder done? |
18683 | Duff?" |
18683 | Duff?" |
18683 | Duff?" |
18683 | Gary seemed momentarily paralyzed at such independence, then out of sheer amazement hissed forth sneeringly:"Will your impudence tell me why?" |
18683 | Give way, Ben? |
18683 | Had a pleasant time? |
18683 | Have n''t the Vaughns and the Grangers been at outs for more than twenty year? |
18683 | Have n''t we a sentry there constantly?" |
18683 | Have your mud splashers shined? |
18683 | He handed one of each to the other two, saying to Ralph:"I guess you can shoot, ca n''t you? |
18683 | He was mighty milk and watery, was n''t he? |
18683 | Heap sweeter than sugar, ai n''t it?" |
18683 | How can I find him, I''d like to know?" |
18683 | How does that suit you? |
18683 | How would his incensed relative receive him? |
18683 | Huh?" |
18683 | I think we had better help our dusky friends, do n''t you, boys? |
18683 | I wonder what kind of a hole this sweat box is?" |
18683 | I wonder where we will sail to first? |
18683 | I''ve got business with him-- d''ye understand?" |
18683 | Is n''t it a little rough to expect him to find his sea legs in half an hour? |
18683 | Is n''t there no danger in going so fast? |
18683 | Is not that so?" |
18683 | It''s you, is it, Tom?" |
18683 | Know where you''re bound for?" |
18683 | Look, Clell wants you to take it, do n''t you, Clell?" |
18683 | My room is forty nine; can you recollect that?" |
18683 | Never been anywhere, you say?" |
18683 | Now, do you see?" |
18683 | Now, what d''ye say?" |
18683 | Now, what do you think of that?" |
18683 | Old man got in good humor yet?" |
18683 | One er dese yere shore kids?" |
18683 | Out of the woods?" |
18683 | Queer world, is n''t it?" |
18683 | S''pose I had n''t a woke up?" |
18683 | Say yo''wanter see him, suh?" |
18683 | Sha n''t I-- grandpa? |
18683 | The artist, however, recalled him from this sort of day dreaming, by saying:"Ever make biscuit?" |
18683 | The figure vanished, and presently the lad heard his aunt say:"What are you fussin''about, Mr. Dopples? |
18683 | The heaving plain below made his head swin[ Transcriber''s note: swim?]. |
18683 | The negro disappeared in the crowd, one of whom said to the mountain boy:"Why did n''t you hand him over to yonder policeman?" |
18683 | The negro inspected Ralph from head to foot, then demanded:"Do he stop yere?" |
18683 | This rather supported the tenor of Mrs. Dopples''cautions, and Ralph paused a moment before he asked:"Where can I find him?" |
18683 | Want water, do you?" |
18683 | Well enough to stand a stiff surprise?" |
18683 | What are yo''up to?" |
18683 | What are you going to do?" |
18683 | What could seven men do against a hundred? |
18683 | What do you mean by that?" |
18683 | What do''e think of the Curlew now? |
18683 | What have you been drinking? |
18683 | What in the mischief can he want?" |
18683 | What is a lad more or less?" |
18683 | What is there about the boy that he dislikes? |
18683 | What might be yours?" |
18683 | What more d''ye want?" |
18683 | What mought your name be these hard times?" |
18683 | What noise is that?" |
18683 | What say?" |
18683 | What''s that?" |
18683 | What''s this?" |
18683 | Where be ye, Tildy?" |
18683 | Where be you goin''?" |
18683 | Where did you come from? |
18683 | Where is the bo''s''n?" |
18683 | Who first heard the thing coming?" |
18683 | Who''s your boss?" |
18683 | Why should I not start you as well as any one else, especially when it costs me nothing but the stroke of a pen? |
18683 | Why should this man want to hurt me?" |
18683 | Without waiting for the burst of anger which he knew would follow this mutinous(?) |
18683 | Would he be able to forge far enough ahead to be recognized? |
18683 | Yes? |
18683 | You never sailed with Captain Gary afore, did you?" |
18683 | are you going to let her broach? |
18683 | asked he, and when the boy nodded affirmatively, added:"And was his father''s name Bras Granger?" |
18683 | exclaimed Ralph enthusiastically, his eyes glowing,"am I really to get a berth on the training ship as a naval apprentice?" |
18683 | exclaimed the darky, rubbing his ear, which had received the blow,"What yo''do dat for, anyhow?" |
18683 | in the newspapers and, there you are-- see?" |
18683 | interposed the captain with emphasis, then added:"Did you know my mother was a Vaughn, boy? |
18683 | what is this?" |
21064 | Ai n''t he? |
21064 | And I may call you Dick, may I not? 21064 And have you never had any desire to escape and seek the protection of your guardians?" |
21064 | And how come you five men to be here? |
21064 | And how is he now, Hamilton? 21064 And how many do we muster on our side?" |
21064 | And now, what do I find? 21064 And pray, senor, who may you be, and where am I?" |
21064 | And supposing that we do n''t happen to fall in with any of your precious men- o''-war, what then? |
21064 | And that, I suppose, accounts for the fact of your face seeming familiar to me; I probably saw you once or twice during my delirium? |
21064 | And the tide is rising, is it not? |
21064 | And they are heading out from the land, you say? |
21064 | And were any of my men among them? |
21064 | And what about the steerage passengers? |
21064 | And what was the general trend of the direction which you took when you followed the savages? |
21064 | And you have never been in the West Indies before? 21064 And you, Jones, what is your opinion?" |
21064 | And, pray, how did you manage to escape, senor? |
21064 | Any sign of the chase yet, Mr Simpson? |
21064 | Are you quite sure, Juan, that the prisoners are all securely lashed? |
21064 | Astern of us-- the commodore astern of us, did you say? |
21064 | Ay, no doubt,answered I;"but what about their fighting qualities, if we should be obliged to resort to forcible measures with the mutineers?" |
21064 | Better do that first, had n''t you? |
21064 | Better take in the to''garns''l, had n''t we, sir? |
21064 | Boatswain,said I,"have you given the spare gear of this craft an overhaul as yet?" |
21064 | But how in the world did you know that? |
21064 | But where is Mr Fawcett? 21064 By the by,"he said,"are those boats of yours worth hoisting in?" |
21064 | Do you actually mean to say that you were once my mother''s lover? |
21064 | Do you hear that, Grenvile? |
21064 | Do you mean to say, sir, that you have made the passage across in a fortnight? |
21064 | Does he-- does he really say that? 21064 For how could you know, Mr Carter,"he said,"that the boats were not full of pirates? |
21064 | For what reason, pray, Captain Williams? |
21064 | Good enough to take a ship across the Atlantic, for instance, without assistance? |
21064 | Has he made any signals since I came below? |
21064 | Has the breeze yet reached them? |
21064 | Have I? |
21064 | Have any of them been drinking, think you? |
21064 | Have we anything in the boat from which we can make a flare? |
21064 | Have you forgotten the homely old adage that` It''s never too late to mend''? 21064 Have you got them bent and an anchor ready to let go if she should happen to back off the bank?" |
21064 | Have you managed to escape from the savages, or were you not with the rest when they were taken? |
21064 | How do they bear from us now? |
21064 | How is it coming? 21064 How is our patient? |
21064 | How long do you think it will be before it reaches us? |
21064 | How many do you muster? |
21064 | How much farther do you say this creek of yours is, Higgins? |
21064 | How would it do to train the guns of the port broadside forward, and return his compliment? |
21064 | How''s her head? |
21064 | Hullo, Fonseca,I exclaimed,"where in the name of fortune have you sprung from? |
21064 | Hullo, Grenvile, that you? |
21064 | Hullo, Grenvile, what is the meaning of this? |
21064 | I presume you did not by any chance notice, senor, precisely how many men landed, did you? |
21064 | Is it coming along pretty fast? |
21064 | Is it safe for me to move now, Chips? |
21064 | Is that Mr Grenvile that stands beside you, sir? |
21064 | May I ask why, general? |
21064 | May I have that glass for a moment? 21064 Mr Jones,"I shouted,"be good enough to signal the commodore that there is a strange sail in the northern board, will you?" |
21064 | Musket, sir? 21064 Not seriously hurt, Freeman, I hope?" |
21064 | Now then, Martin,I said sharply,"what is all this disturbance about, and why is the boatswain threatening you with that rope''s- end?" |
21064 | Now then, my lad,said I, as the fellow faced round and confronted me,"where are the rest of the men who left this ship yesterday? |
21064 | Now, Higgins,said I,"whereabout is this creek of yours? |
21064 | Now, Keene, what do you say? 21064 Now, Tom, where''s that there binnacle lamp again? |
21064 | Now, who is the fellow, and what does he mean by firing at us? 21064 Shall I, indeed?" |
21064 | Shall we let them have what they ask for? |
21064 | Shall we try a shot? |
21064 | So you really think that yonder brig is your own ship? |
21064 | Surely it is not so very difficult to find, now that you have been told of its existence? |
21064 | Surely you do not pretend to suggest that my father--? |
21064 | Tell me who it was, and what he said? |
21064 | The West Indies? 21064 The navy bad? |
21064 | Then you think my idea has something in it? |
21064 | There is no hope, you think, of saving the schooner, if all of us who are able were to go below and lend you a hand? |
21064 | There, sir, d''ye see''em? |
21064 | This,he said,"is your most serious injury-- a pike wound; when did you get it?" |
21064 | We are to make the best of our way to Sierra Leone-- the best of our way, do you understand? 21064 Well, Chips,"said I,"what is the best news from below?" |
21064 | Well, Dick, where is the treasure? |
21064 | Well, Lotta-- I suppose I may call you Lotta, may I not? 21064 Well, Lotta-- now, let me remember-- what was it I was about to say? |
21064 | Well, Mr Grenvile, what do you make of them? |
21064 | Well, San Domingo,I said,"are there any signs of the chase? |
21064 | Well, can you tell me whether there are any boarding- nettings in the ship? |
21064 | Well, sah, I find dem all in de steward''s pantry-- where else? 21064 Well, what is it, Grenvile?" |
21064 | Well,said I, when at length Simpson had ended his scrutiny and handed back the instrument to me,"what do you think of her?" |
21064 | Well,said he when I presented myself,"I suppose you are beginning to feel rather tired of kicking your heels about ashore here, are you not?" |
21064 | What about your cables? |
21064 | What are they like? 21064 What do you say, Mr Grenvile?" |
21064 | What does she look like? |
21064 | What has happened, then, Simpson? |
21064 | What is his other name? |
21064 | What is it? |
21064 | What is the latest news of the strangers, Mr Grenvile? |
21064 | What is your name, young man? |
21064 | What makes you think so? |
21064 | What ship is this? |
21064 | What''s in the wind? 21064 Where are they?" |
21064 | Where away? |
21064 | Where is the commodore? |
21064 | Who are killed, Simpson? |
21064 | Who are you, pray? |
21064 | Why, Pringle,said I to the gunner, whose watch it was,"what does that mean? |
21064 | Why, how on earth did you come to know of that rascally transaction, senor? |
21064 | Why,answered Higgins, instantly catching my meaning,"it was westerly, sir; was n''t it, Mike? |
21064 | You are the captain of this ship, are you not? |
21064 | You do n''t really mean it, do you, Grenvile? 21064 You must surely be drunk, Tonkin, or you would never dream of--""Drunk am I?" |
21064 | You think so? |
21064 | You think so? |
21064 | You want me, Mr Grenvile? |
21064 | Ah, gentleum, dis is wery different from de appearance ob de table in de midshipmen''s berth aboard de_ Shark_, eh? |
21064 | Ai n''t it, Mike?" |
21064 | Am I to understand that you are in full and perfect agreement with Mr Carter in this proposal which he has just made to me?" |
21064 | And I continually found myself mentally asking the question:"Which am I to believe-- this man''s words, or the expression of his eyes? |
21064 | And I should have been her husband but for the accursed villainy of one who-- but why speak of it? |
21064 | And bring your shipmate-- what did you say his name is? |
21064 | And d''ye know how they did that, sir? |
21064 | And first of all, as to our losses, I fear they have been very heavy, have they not?" |
21064 | And how comes he to be in command, now, if he was only second when you left home?" |
21064 | And if one were disposed for a moment to admit such a possibility, whence could a boat come? |
21064 | And then arose the question, what had become of the schooner and my shipmates? |
21064 | And what is the state of the hawser? |
21064 | And when we went a''ter the savages we kept on bearin''away towards the left, did n''t we? |
21064 | And where is the commodore?" |
21064 | And your name is Dick, is it not?" |
21064 | And your name, senorita, will you not tell me that?" |
21064 | And, as Fonseca nodded, I continued:"And pray, when did this happen?" |
21064 | And, by the way, why have you spared me? |
21064 | And, look here, why should you not join us? |
21064 | Are you one of the Devon Grenviles?" |
21064 | Are you, by any chance, Captain Ricardo''s daughter?" |
21064 | As he entered I heard the office messenger say something to him in a low tone, to which he responded:"What? |
21064 | At this moment Sir Thomas came up to me and said:"Grenvile, my lad, come down on to the main- deck with me a moment, will you? |
21064 | Broad off the starboard bow, is n''t it?" |
21064 | But suppose that he should do as Carter suggests he may, and order you and your men to quit the ship, will you go?" |
21064 | But what is the matter with them aboard there that they have not seen us? |
21064 | By the by, what is your name, if I may presume to ask? |
21064 | By the way, is your mother still living?" |
21064 | By the way, what do you think of Lotta?" |
21064 | By the way, what sort of a navigator is Keene?" |
21064 | Can you make out their rig?" |
21064 | Can you tell me, for instance, what has become of my schooner and her crew?" |
21064 | Could he see me, do you think?" |
21064 | D''ye see her, sir? |
21064 | Do n''t ye remember that the run of the creek itself was some''at down- stream? |
21064 | Do you mind telling me who you are? |
21064 | Do you think he can see me without detriment to himself?" |
21064 | Does your captain take care of his wounded prisoners and nurse them back to health, as a rule?" |
21064 | Finally he turned to me and said:"On what date were these dispatches handed to you, young gentleman?" |
21064 | Get your step? |
21064 | Had our lesson of the afternoon brought home to them a good, wholesome realisation of the danger of meddling with white men? |
21064 | Had they been captured, sunk, or driven off? |
21064 | Have they a surgeon aboard that ship? |
21064 | Have you been long in?" |
21064 | Have you observed anything to- day indicative of a disposition on the part of the natives to attack us?" |
21064 | Have you seen him?" |
21064 | Have you served your full time at sea yet?" |
21064 | How did the commodore treat you; did he seem fairly favourably disposed to you?" |
21064 | How many do the mutineers muster, all told?" |
21064 | How many of your boat''s crew were alive when he picked you up?" |
21064 | How much farther do you mean to go before landing?" |
21064 | How would any of you manage if by chance it fell to you to take a ship into port, and you could only` fudge''a day''s work? |
21064 | How would that be?" |
21064 | I cried anxiously,"where are you? |
21064 | I demanded in the same language,"and where am I?" |
21064 | I exclaimed,"is it possible that you can ever have known my mother?" |
21064 | I hope you do n''t anticipate the possibility that I shall join you?" |
21064 | I presume you will have no objection to receive us?" |
21064 | I say, Grenvile, ca n''t we manage to have a little cruise on our own account? |
21064 | I suppose you have wondered what are my ultimate intentions toward you, have you not? |
21064 | I, however, heard a very gentle and musical voice say:"How do you do, Mr Grenvile? |
21064 | If I got that--""Get your step, sir?" |
21064 | Is he a Frenchman, think you, and does he take us for a slaver-- which, by the way, is not a very extraordinary mistake to make? |
21064 | Is he--?" |
21064 | Is the_ Barracouta_ in?" |
21064 | Is there anything else?" |
21064 | Lose whom? |
21064 | May I have San Domingo again as cabin steward, sir?" |
21064 | Now then,"he continued, turning to Martin again,"will you obey my orders, or must I make yer?" |
21064 | Now, I wonder what their plan of attack will be? |
21064 | Now, Juan, are you ready with the auger?" |
21064 | Now, are you all ready? |
21064 | Now, do you feel yourself to be in trim to face the examiners at any moment?" |
21064 | Now, have you formed any plans for the conduct of this cruise?" |
21064 | Now, how is that for a salve to your wounded feelings, eh?" |
21064 | Now, what d''ye think of that, sir, for a mess?" |
21064 | Now, what is to be done? |
21064 | Now, why should you not abandon your present mode of life? |
21064 | Oh, yes, of course-- how came you to be a prisoner in the power of this man Ricardo?" |
21064 | Or again, admitting such a possibility, what dreadful happening could have wrung from human lips such blood- curdling sounds? |
21064 | Ricardo? |
21064 | Senor sounds so very formal, does it not?" |
21064 | Senorita sounds so very formal, does it not?" |
21064 | Shall I take you aft and introjuce you to him?" |
21064 | Shoulder, eh? |
21064 | So you think that craft yonder is your ship, do you?" |
21064 | Surely they are not going to endeavour to tow the brig within gunshot of us, are they? |
21064 | THE PIRATE BRIG AGAIN? |
21064 | The question now arose in my mind whether she would endeavour to dodge us during the night? |
21064 | The question was: Where was I to obtain one? |
21064 | Then there was the puzzling question: How did we get where we were? |
21064 | There-- now do you see her, sir, just under that patch of black cloud?" |
21064 | Wha''dat?" |
21064 | What about the stewards?" |
21064 | What boats are those?" |
21064 | What canvas are we under?" |
21064 | What could I do, under such circumstances, but hand over my card, still protesting? |
21064 | What d''ye mean by settin''foot on this part of the deck against Mr Tonkin''s express orders? |
21064 | What does this mean? |
21064 | What happened then?" |
21064 | What is the extent of the damage, and what have you done with the_ Dolores_? |
21064 | What is the young English senor to Senor Ricardo, I wonder, that he should be cared for thus?" |
21064 | What say you, senor; do you feel inclined to accede to his request?" |
21064 | What was everybody doing that no one saw the land or heard the roar of the surf in time to avoid running the ship ashore? |
21064 | What was my duty, under the circumstances? |
21064 | What were the look- outs doing? |
21064 | When did it happen?" |
21064 | Where did you find all these things, eh?" |
21064 | Where is he?" |
21064 | Which is the worse, your shoulder or your head? |
21064 | Who can say?" |
21064 | Who has been talking to you about Mowbray? |
21064 | Why not take that treasure then, and go away to some part of the world where you are not known, and there begin life afresh?" |
21064 | Why not take the brig herself? |
21064 | Why should I not?" |
21064 | Will you have some ham, or some tongue, or a little of both?" |
21064 | Will you join us?" |
21064 | Will you not think the matter over again, and this time with the determination to arrive at a right decision?" |
21064 | Will you send a boat for them, or shall we lower one of ours?" |
21064 | Would it be possible for me to accompany you on board? |
21064 | You have heard, I suppose, that your schooner has been purchased into the service?" |
21064 | You will not mind my leaving you in their charge, I hope?" |
21064 | have n''t you got a knife about you, sir? |
21064 | or had it, on the other hand, only inflamed them against us, and made them resolve to wreak a terrible revenge? |
21064 | quoth the old woman as she watched the keen enjoyment with which I emptied the tumbler,"the senor likes that? |
21064 | so you noticed that, did you?" |
21064 | that is rather queer behaviour, is n''t it?" |
21064 | what on earth has become of you?" |
21064 | what ship is that?" |
21748 | A better occupation, is n''t it,replied Harold, with a sly glance,"than to make a chimney- pot of my mouth?" |
21748 | All ready,replied the half- caste, in a gruff tone of voice,"but what are you going to do with these English brutes?" |
21748 | An''no more growlin''? |
21748 | An''wot did he get for himself? |
21748 | An''yer goin''to take Jumbo as yer walley? |
21748 | And Maraquita-- I mean his daughter-- what of her? |
21748 | And his armed followers? |
21748 | And what if they be not willing to go with us? |
21748 | And who is your master? |
21748 | And why may not I stay to assist you, father, in this wonderful man- mystery of transacting business? |
21748 | Antonio,cried the chief, in a voice that brought the interpreter to his side in a twinkling;"what name did the white man speak just now?" |
21748 | Are there many o''them fellows hereabouts? |
21748 | Are you sure, Davis? |
21748 | Ay, ay, sir.--Jumbo, you black- faced villain, d''ee hear that? 21748 Ay, ay, sir?" |
21748 | Azinte? 21748 Besides, his wife_ may_ be alive, for all we know to the contrary.--How far did he say the village was from where we landed, Antonio?" |
21748 | But have you no pity for them? 21748 But what if you''re in the wrong, and the colours are nailed?" |
21748 | But-- but--he stammered,"if they wo n''t come--?" |
21748 | By whose orders? |
21748 | Can twelve men not manage two? |
21748 | Chanz; wat am chanz? |
21748 | Clap a stopper on yer noise, will''ee? |
21748 | Come you from man- of- war? |
21748 | Could n''t you intimidate him into disgorging a little of his knowledge? |
21748 | Crabs, is it? |
21748 | D''ye think it is? 21748 Dead?" |
21748 | Did he consider himself cheap or dear at that? |
21748 | Did he? 21748 Did you excogitate anything more?" |
21748 | Did you know her well? |
21748 | Did_ you_ enjoy it when you first began? |
21748 | Dis? 21748 Do n''t they do mischief sometimes?" |
21748 | Do these men know our trade? |
21748 | Do you know anything of her history? |
21748 | Do you know where she is gone? |
21748 | Do you speak English? |
21748 | Do you understand English? |
21748 | Does he intend to touch at Zanzibar? |
21748 | Does the consul know what tribe has captured them? |
21748 | Dunno; s''pose where dog be mans be? |
21748 | Father, why did you sell her without saying a word to me about your intention? 21748 Foolish boy,"said the Senhorina, smiling through her tears,"what is the use of telling me that? |
21748 | For sale? |
21748 | For what end? |
21748 | Has a woman of your tribe, named Marunga, been slain or captured? |
21748 | Have they changed so much of late? |
21748 | Have they? 21748 Have we much chance of findin''them?" |
21748 | He must go somewhere to land these, I presume? |
21748 | He never eats man, does he? |
21748 | How can you have the heart,said Harold at last turning to Yoosoof,"to treat these poor creatures so cruelly?" |
21748 | How d''you know I ca n''t enjoy it? |
21748 | How dare''ee go to sleep on dooty? |
21748 | How did you find us, Zombo? |
21748 | How long is it since you were married? |
21748 | How many dhows have you got? |
21748 | How much? |
21748 | How mush vill''oo gif? |
21748 | How should I know? 21748 How would you like to go with me to the Cape of Good Hope, Kambira?" |
21748 | How you make that out? |
21748 | How? 21748 I might reply by asking,"said Harold, with a smile,"how comes it that you are so well acquainted with Azinte? |
21748 | I need not ask why you wish to go,he added,--"you go to seek Azinte?" |
21748 | I say, Mister Harold, ai n''t it splendid? |
21748 | I thought you understood Portuguese? |
21748 | I''spose you''ve bin up in these parts before now, have''ee? |
21748 | If that be so, how comes it that_ you_ were surprised to see us? |
21748 | Is all ready, Moosa? |
21748 | Is he? |
21748 | Is it good? |
21748 | Is n''t this jolly? |
21748 | Is not de chief de fader of de peepil? 21748 Is she young an''good- lookin''?" |
21748 | Is there no one to act for the Governor in his absence? |
21748 | It''s my ambition to let fly a broadside at a lion or a elephant so I means for to go on; an''wot I says is, Who wolunteers to sail in company? |
21748 | It''ud never do to let his sperrits down;''cause w''y? 21748 Look at the coast,"returned the captain;"where would you beach her? |
21748 | Looks well-- eh? 21748 Lost her child? |
21748 | Man, why do n''t ye wash yer face? |
21748 | Maraquita,said Senhor Letotti, still somewhat petulantly, though with more of remonstrance in his tone,"how can you speak so foolishly? |
21748 | May I ask,continued Harold,"what your occupation is?" |
21748 | May n''t we go with''ee, mister-- what''s your name? |
21748 | My what? |
21748 | No? |
21748 | Ob no use? |
21748 | On the old terms? |
21748 | Please me, sir, w''y should n''t it please me? 21748 Plenty vat?" |
21748 | Sailum, eh? 21748 So that perhaps, it would be better not to nail them at all, unless you''re very sure-- eh?" |
21748 | Surely you do n''t intend to risk the lives of these poor creatures in such a surf? |
21748 | Tak mans, wot d''ee mean by that? |
21748 | Tell me, Yoosoof,resumed Harold, prompted by strong curiosity,"why have you carried us off bound in this fashion?" |
21748 | Tell me,resumed Senhor Letotti,"how do you propose to elude the English cruiser? |
21748 | Terra? 21748 That''s the man to_ my_ mind,"said Disco emphatically;"good luck to him.--But w''en d''you mean to start for the Zambizzy, sir?" |
21748 | The Zambesi; did you never hear of it before? |
21748 | Then I''spose''ee do n''t approve of the slave- trade? |
21748 | Then do you agree to go with me? |
21748 | Upon my word, if you have not gone stark mad, you must have had a sunstroke,said Harold, coming forward,"what''s the matter?" |
21748 | Very good,rejoined Harold, laughing;"then as to sleep, I enjoy sleep quite as soundly as yourself; do n''t I?" |
21748 | W''y, wot do''ee mean for to do with''em? |
21748 | W''y, wot''s wrong with''ee, man,exclaimed Disco, on observing the blank look of Antonio''s countenance;"do n''t''ee savay that?" |
21748 | Was um''s growl very bad? |
21748 | Was''ee thinkin''that he deserved to be shoved in there? |
21748 | Wat''um see? |
21748 | We fire right in de middel ob de lot? |
21748 | Well now,cried Disco, unable to restrain himself as he turned to Harold,"did ever two unfortnits meet wi''sitch luck? |
21748 | Well then, I enjoy my food as well, and can eat as much, ca n''t I? |
21748 | Well, I_ am_ thinking,replied Harold, affecting a look of profound thoughtfulness,"but I ca n''t quite make it out-- enjoyment? |
21748 | Well, Mr Lindsay, has Jackson been of any use to you? |
21748 | Well, then, ai n''t the whole lot of you a set of mean scoundrels? |
21748 | Well, then, if you did n''t, that proves that it is not_ natural_ to smoke, and why should I acquire an unnatural and useless habit? |
21748 | Well, what do you suggest? |
21748 | Well, wot if I do? 21748 Whar dat?" |
21748 | What can we do? |
21748 | What dat''oo say? |
21748 | What do you mean? |
21748 | What has come of him now? |
21748 | What has he been doing? |
21748 | What news? |
21748 | What now, Antonio? |
21748 | What now, Kambira? |
21748 | What now? |
21748 | What old tones? |
21748 | What then do you propose to do? |
21748 | What would you say to cotton cloth, and thick brass wire, and glass beads, being the chief currency in Central Africa? |
21748 | What''s the matter with him? |
21748 | What''s the matter with that fellow? |
21748 | What''s the matter? |
21748 | What''s the matter? |
21748 | What? 21748 What_ can_ you speak, then?" |
21748 | What_ is_ the matter, man? |
21748 | Where away? |
21748 | Where come you from? |
21748 | Where is Marizano? |
21748 | Where''s Jumbo? |
21748 | Who are you, and what do you want? |
21748 | Who are you? |
21748 | Who are_ you_? |
21748 | Who told you that? 21748 Why impossible? |
21748 | Why not man-- why not? |
21748 | Why not? |
21748 | Why so? |
21748 | Why so?--is cruelty a necessity? |
21748 | Why, what d''you mean? |
21748 | Why, what!--where did_ you_ come from? |
21748 | Why? 21748 Will the white man''s gun kill so far?" |
21748 | Will you be ready to start soon? |
21748 | Wot have''ee got there? |
21748 | Wot may it be, Tony? |
21748 | Wot''s the matter with her, poor thing? |
21748 | Wot,asked he,"does you feel?" |
21748 | Would you like to see what our guns can do? |
21748 | Ye do n''t say that? |
21748 | Yoo''s_ sure_ you hit um? |
21748 | You ai n''t burnt, are you? |
21748 | You do n''t know? 21748 You do n''t mean it, sir?" |
21748 | You do n''t say so? |
21748 | You do n''t suppose, sir, that I would nail''em to the mast except I was sure, wery sure, that I wos right? 21748 You means wot you say, I s''pose?" |
21748 | You says your prayers, sir, do n''t you? |
21748 | You tell me he has a number of captured slaves already in his ship? |
21748 | _ You_ call yourself a chief, do you-- eh? |
21748 | ''Oo like see me catch um?" |
21748 | After marching about half an hour he stopped abruptly and said, with a heavy sigh,--"I hope we have n''t missed our way?" |
21748 | An''wot''s the''arth?" |
21748 | And ai n''t these Banyans Indian merchants-- subjects of Great Britain?" |
21748 | Are they sure?" |
21748 | Are you incurable already?" |
21748 | Are you not ashamed of yourself? |
21748 | But do n''t kill me, master, for if you do, who is there to look after your other women? |
21748 | But how am I to know you are English?" |
21748 | But what think you of our plan, now that Kambira is ready to fall in with it?" |
21748 | Can dere be peepil widout a fader-- eh? |
21748 | Can it do any good to Azinte?" |
21748 | Can you tell us whether there is a town or a village in the neighbourhood? |
21748 | Clap a stopper on your bellows, will''ee?" |
21748 | D''ee understand? |
21748 | Dar, don''you zee um''s skin,-- t''other side? |
21748 | Did n''t he say that what- dee- call- the- place-- his village-- was a strong place, and could be easily held by a few brave men?" |
21748 | Disco occasionally made known the fact that such, or something unusual, had transpired, by the sudden and violent exclamation of"What''s that?" |
21748 | Do I not enjoy as good health as you do?" |
21748 | Do n''t you think they have hearts and feelings like ourselves?" |
21748 | Do you intend to go with us?" |
21748 | Do you know to what part of the coast he intended to convey her?" |
21748 | God made de chief-- who says dat chief is not wise? |
21748 | Good pay and hard work, and all the grub that''s goin''-- what could a man want more? |
21748 | Harold therefore shook_ his_ head;--then, with a hopeful look, said"French?" |
21748 | Harold thought he would venture another question:--"In what sort of goods do you trade?" |
21748 | Harold, who regarded this proceeding with some surprise, said to Kambira-- through Antonio--"Who are you cooking that for?" |
21748 | Have you not enough of money?" |
21748 | How am I to make sure that your leaders are English? |
21748 | How came you to discover us? |
21748 | How could he, seeing that men and women and children-- if black-- fled from him, and such as he, in abject terror? |
21748 | How long is it since Azinte was taken away from you?" |
21748 | How say you?" |
21748 | I could tell you-- but,''says he, pullin''up sudden,` you wo n''t split on me, messmate?'' |
21748 | I say, wot''s wrong with Tony?" |
21748 | I suppose I''ve been delirious, have I?" |
21748 | If it ai n''t the right day,_ we_ ca n''t help it; moreover, wot''s the odds? |
21748 | If it be right that we should not interfere with the Zanzibar institution, why should we interfere with that of Arabia or Persia? |
21748 | If it is righteous to constrain the Sultan of Zanzibar, is it not equally so to compel the King of Portugal? |
21748 | Is that so?" |
21748 | Is this consistent? |
21748 | Is-- is he dead?" |
21748 | Listen; do n''t''ee hear''em?" |
21748 | Marizano,"exclaimed Senhor Letotti, rising,"you have thought better of it, I presume?" |
21748 | Men have beards and whiskers; women have none, and what kind of creature would woman be without whiskers, and without a pelele? |
21748 | Need we say that Harold leaped joyfully at the proposal? |
21748 | Now, then,"he added, pointing straight at the girl,"you-- what''s you name, eh?" |
21748 | Presently Kambira raised his head, and a smile chased the frown away as he said--"You have been kind to Azinte, will you be kind to her husband?" |
21748 | So Chibanti him say,` What de use of be free?'' |
21748 | Starve? |
21748 | The Arab repeated the shake of his head, but after a moments''thought said,"I know littil Engleesh; speak, where comes you?" |
21748 | The question in debate was, Whether the two toes of the ostrich represented the thumb and forefinger in man, or the little and ring fingers? |
21748 | Then he turned sharp round and looked at me for all the world as if he meant to say` wot d''ee mean by that? |
21748 | There, ai n''t that a good head, Jumbo?" |
21748 | This last was too much for poor Frizzyhead, who leaped up, stuttered, and cried--"Can''oo outrun me, then?" |
21748 | W''ere''s the difference? |
21748 | W''y, you have n''t spoke like that, sir, for-- but, surely-- are you better, or is this on''y another dodge o''yer madness?" |
21748 | Was n''t that strange-- wasn''t it curious? |
21748 | We ask again, how could he? |
21748 | We could govern ourselves betterer, so what de use of''um? |
21748 | Well, is that all? |
21748 | Well, then, I suppose it''s settled that we go?" |
21748 | Well, what sort of wares have you got to sell?" |
21748 | What am I to do? |
21748 | What do you mean? |
21748 | What does Kambira think of the white man''s gun?" |
21748 | What has the boy done to merit such inhuman chastisement?" |
21748 | What more natural than that the Captain should fall in with the pirate? |
21748 | What say you?" |
21748 | What shall we do with him?" |
21748 | What would you say, Antonio, to twenty yards of cotton cloth a month, and a gun into the bargain at the end, if you do your work well?" |
21748 | When do we start?" |
21748 | Where did you come from?" |
21748 | Where to?" |
21748 | Who are you, and where are you going?" |
21748 | Who knows but the slavers may be at our huts while we lie idly here? |
21748 | Why did you not bring down the Manganja men and women you say are with you?" |
21748 | Why do n''t you kill your own beef? |
21748 | Why not beach her somewhere on the coast? |
21748 | Will a hundred men and guns suffice?" |
21748 | Will you take me with you to the shores of the great salt lake?" |
21748 | Wot''s the Latin, now, for heaven?" |
21748 | Yambo''s name signified"how are you?" |
21748 | You could not have found us by mere chance in this wilderness?" |
21748 | You laugh if you hear de womans ask me yesterday--`Why you wash?'' |
21748 | You''re quite sure he do n''t, I''spose?" |
21748 | ` Had you lost your senses, to risk your life for a brute of a negro?'' |
21748 | ` Were you drunk?'' |
21748 | and was probably bestowed on him because of a strongly benevolent tendency to greet friend and stranger alike with a hearty"how d''ee do?" |
21748 | breakfast''s ready-- where are you?" |
21748 | cried Maraquita, seizing her father''s hands,"not sold to that man Marizano?" |
21748 | demanded the captain, with a look of supreme contempt,"what if Zanzibar_ was_ ruined? |
21748 | do you mean sold?" |
21748 | do you see yonder two men, and the girl walking behind them?" |
21748 | exclaimed Disco in surprise;"that nigger seems to have took a sudden fancy to the cur?--Eh, Antonio, wot''s the reason of that, think''ee?" |
21748 | exclaimed Disco, with a broad grin;"may I ax wot ye paid for her?" |
21748 | exclaimed the latter sternly, with mingled remonstrance and rebuke in his tone,"how_ can_ you be so cruel? |
21748 | have you anything to sell?" |
21748 | how-- wot d''ee mean?" |
21748 | repeated the sailor, bringing his fist down on the table before him with such force that the glasses danced on it and the dust flew up;"for what? |
21748 | said Kambira, in a low, pathetic tone,"will you make me your servant, your slave?" |
21748 | said he,"you are the blackguard that we met and pretty nigh shot when we first came to these parts, eh? |
21748 | she cried with increasing vehemence;"would_ you_ listen with patience to any one who should talk to you of another as good as Maraquita?" |
21748 | she said;"the other people tied and starved us, but you cut the ropes and tell us to eat; what sort of people are you? |
21748 | the scoundrel in advance?" |
21748 | what can one expect from such cattle? |
21748 | where?" |
21748 | wot d''ee mean?" |
21748 | yoos ill?" |
10633 | And first,--Are there no strangers whom we oppress? 10633 But necessity is pretended, the name under which every enormity is attempted to be justified; and after all, what is the necessity? |
10633 | An honourable member had asked on a former day,"Is it an excuse for robbery to say that another would hare committed it?" |
10633 | And have they not the same sensibility? |
10633 | And what could the committee have done without the parliamentary aid of Mr. Wilberforce? |
10633 | And what do we first see here? |
10633 | And what man, seeing this, And having human feelings, does not blush And hang his head to think himself a man? |
10633 | And what object is that which first obtrudes itself upon our sight? |
10633 | And whither shall we go now? |
10633 | And yet what would my worthy friend have said, if in this first instance I had opposed him? |
10633 | And, after all these horrors, what was their destiny? |
10633 | Are cruisers the only men over whom motives have no influence? |
10633 | Are not our feelings usually affected according to the situation, or the magnitude, or the importance of these? |
10633 | Are they not men as well as we? |
10633 | Are they not more or less elevated again, as we have found it more or less considerable in extent? |
10633 | Ask him, if your knotted scourges, Fetters, blood- extorting screws, Are the means, which duty urges Agents of his will to use? |
10633 | Because a practise had existed, did it necessarily follow that it was just? |
10633 | Besides, by what law would you enter into every man''s domestic concerns, and regulate the interior economy of his house and plantation? |
10633 | Besides, how could we distinguish between those who were justly or unjustly reduced to it? |
10633 | But allowing it its full force, would there be no honour in the dereliction of such a commerce? |
10633 | But are we relieved even here from afflicting spectacles? |
10633 | But before the last of these had left the council room, who should come up to me but Dr. Arnold? |
10633 | But did cruelty cause the excess of deaths above births in the city of London? |
10633 | But did not the Slave Trade convey ideas the very reverse of this definition? |
10633 | But even if France were not to relinquish the trade, how could we, if justice required its abolition, hesitate as to our part of it? |
10633 | But even if acts of barbarity should be related to them, how were they to come at the proof of them? |
10633 | But from whom did the motion for further evidence( when that of the privy council was refused) originate, but from the enemies of the abolition? |
10633 | But had such a trade as the Slave Trade ever existed before? |
10633 | But how can we be said to love our brethren who bring, or, for selfish ends, keep them in bondage? |
10633 | But how did these savages behave, when they had these different persons in their power? |
10633 | But how did we know this? |
10633 | But how was it possible, that to a demand so exceedingly fluctuating the supply should always exactly accommodate itself? |
10633 | But how was this reconcilable with facts? |
10633 | But how would every such successive improvement of their condition operate, but to bring them nearer to the state of freemen? |
10633 | But how? |
10633 | But if so, what would become of the argument of his honourable friend? |
10633 | But if they and their masters hated this same measure, how was this coincidence of sentiment to give birth to insurrections? |
10633 | But if this statement was just, would not the abolition be beneficial to them? |
10633 | But if we were to enforce this act with all the powers of the country, how could it fail to be effectual? |
10633 | But it was said to him,"Did you never order such a thing to be done?" |
10633 | But might he not be reduced to this state very unjustly, and yet by no means contrary to the African laws? |
10633 | But on what principles did we usually respect the institutions of antiquity? |
10633 | But suppose it were allowed that self- interest might operate some little against cruelty; yet where was the interest of the overseer or the driver? |
10633 | But suppose, for the sake of argument, that they were to take it up, what good would it do them? |
10633 | But there the question still recurred,"Are these things true?" |
10633 | But to what were these changes owing? |
10633 | But to whom? |
10633 | But upon whom did the cruelties, thus arising out of the prosecution of this barbarous traffic, fall? |
10633 | But was Africa the place, where Englishmen, above all others, were to go to find out and punish adultery? |
10633 | But was not the reason obvious? |
10633 | But was not this the insanity of arbitrary power? |
10633 | But was this the case with the Slave Trade? |
10633 | But were no others lost beside the one hundred and twenty and the twelve? |
10633 | But what had Mr. Long said, when he addressed himself to those planters, who were desirous of attempting improvements on their estates? |
10633 | But what kind of morality was this? |
10633 | But what regulations by the British parliament could prevent these contagions, or remove them suddenly, when they appeared? |
10633 | But what right had we to be judges of their condition? |
10633 | But what said the historians of Africa, long before the question of the abolition was started? |
10633 | But what should happen, just at this moment, to increase the clamour against us? |
10633 | But what should we say, if it should turn out, that we were the causes of those very cruelties, which we affected to prevent? |
10633 | But what then say these sincere worshippers of Mammon? |
10633 | But what then? |
10633 | But what was the sequel? |
10633 | But what was this but an acknowledgment of the manner, in which these miserable beings, were treated? |
10633 | But what would be the amount of it? |
10633 | But where was the analogy of the eases? |
10633 | But who could return these to their homes, or make them compensation for their sufferings during their long journeyings? |
10633 | But who had ever charged him with refusing to pay his debts? |
10633 | But why did he not give his own sentiments boldly to the world on this great question? |
10633 | But why had the trade ever been permitted at all? |
10633 | But why, when our eyelids are but just closed, do we find ourselves thus suddenly awakened? |
10633 | But would he say that these were all he had lost in that voyage? |
10633 | But, after the child was dead, whom should the barbarian select to throw it overboard, but the wretched mother? |
10633 | But, if it were not so, ought the first nation in the world to condescend to be the executioner of savages? |
10633 | But, supposing that they were all to continue it, would not our honour be the greater? |
10633 | By giving birth to that misery themselves, do they not become abandoned? |
10633 | By what means was it kept up in Africa? |
10633 | Can the direct and inevitable tendency of the head- money system be doubted? |
10633 | Can those have nothing to answer for, who separate the faithful ties which nature and religion have created? |
10633 | Could it be called humanity to forbear committing murder? |
10633 | Could they be in all places at once? |
10633 | Could this language be applied to the present state of West India slavery? |
10633 | Could we establish tribunals all along the coast, and in every ship, to find it out? |
10633 | Did he not also forget the sacred attention which parliament had ever shown to the private interests and patrimonial rights of individuals? |
10633 | Did he not by this position confound all notions of right and wrong in human institutions? |
10633 | Did it become us to cast the first stone? |
10633 | Did not all of them agree with Mr. Long, that the great danger in the West Indies arose from the importation of the African slaves there? |
10633 | Did the inquiry then before the privy council prove a loss of time? |
10633 | Did they not instantly retaliate by murdering them all? |
10633 | Did your slaves ever complain to you of their unhappiness amidst their native woods and deserts? |
10633 | Do the moral feelings of those persons escape without injury, whose hearts are hardened? |
10633 | Do we act consistently with this noble principle, who lay such heavy burdens on our fellow creatures? |
10633 | Does another fall prostrate beneath their power? |
10633 | Does one man obtain a victory over his corrupt affections? |
10633 | Five years had now elapsed since the question was first started, and what had any of them done? |
10633 | For anything he knew, it might be physically true, that human blood was the best manure for the land; but who ought to shed it on that account? |
10633 | For if he, who makes the virtuous attempt, should be prevented by death from succeeding in it, can he not speak, though in the tomb? |
10633 | For what was it but murder to pursue a practice, which produced untimely death to thousands of innocent and helpless beings? |
10633 | For what was more natural than that William Dillwyn, who was born and who had resided long in America, should have connexions there? |
10633 | For what, for example, could I myself have done if I had not derived so much assistance from the committee? |
10633 | For, in considerations of this kind, are we not usually influenced by circumstances? |
10633 | Had anything happened to change the opinion of members, since? |
10633 | Had he not ears? |
10633 | Had he not organs, senses, and passions? |
10633 | Had it begun in principles of justice or national honour, which the changes of the world alone had impaired? |
10633 | Had it not been acknowledged by his opponents that the custom of ransoming slaves prevailed in Africa? |
10633 | Had it to plead former services and glories in behalf of its present disgrace? |
10633 | Had not Denmark given a noble example to the contrary? |
10633 | Had not an African eyes? |
10633 | Had not its calamities been imputed by its own deputies to the advocates for the abolition? |
10633 | Had not the House altered the import of foreign sugar into our islands? |
10633 | Had this been answered? |
10633 | Had we never heard of seamen being flogged from ship to ship, or of soldiers dying in the very act of punishment? |
10633 | Have not these unfortunate Africans, who meet with the same cruel fate, the same right? |
10633 | Have they not enabled them to state that this trade began in piracy, and that it was continued upon the principles of force? |
10633 | Have we navigated and conquered to save, to civilize, and to instruct; or to oppress, to plunder, and to destroy? |
10633 | He asked me, first, whether, if the slaves were emancipated, there would not be much confusion in the islands? |
10633 | He then asked what the planters would do for labourers? |
10633 | He therefore asked his honourable friend, whether the period he had looked to was now arrived? |
10633 | How could Africa ever be civilized under it? |
10633 | How dared he, then, to use this selfish plea of interest against the voice of the generous sympathies of his nature? |
10633 | How had he been attacked? |
10633 | How long shall we continue a practice which policy rejects, justice condemns, and piety revolts at?" |
10633 | How shall I describe their feelings as exposed to all the personal indignities, which lawless appetite or brutal passion may suggest? |
10633 | How shall I give an idea of their agony when under various punishments and tortures for their reputed crimes? |
10633 | How then were we to decide this important question? |
10633 | How was this immense property and income to be preserved? |
10633 | I accordingly accepted this offer, and began by asking those present"how long it was likely that the present National Assembly would sit?" |
10633 | If on the ground of a moral evil it was to be abolished at last, why ought it not now? |
10633 | If you poisoned him, would he not die? |
10633 | If you pricked him, would he not feel the puncture, and bleed? |
10633 | If, in his public situation, he had then set his face against it, where would have been our hope? |
10633 | In a twelvemonth, then, what must be the proportion of the dead? |
10633 | In seeing misery stalk daily over the land, do not all become insensibly hardened? |
10633 | In the case of such an event large funds also would be wanted, and who so proper to procure and manage them as these? |
10633 | Is no injustice manifest in the land, where the prince, unfaithful to his duty, seizes his innocent subjects, and sells them for slaves? |
10633 | Is there no crime in perpetuating these evils among their innocent offspring? |
10633 | Is there no injustice in forcing men to labour without wages? |
10633 | Is there, as you sometimes tell us, Is there one, who rules on high; Has he bid you buy and sell us, Speaking from his throne, the sky? |
10633 | Let vacant bards display their boasted woes; Shall I the mockery of grief display? |
10633 | Now how did this language sound? |
10633 | Now it would naturally be asked, was not this captain also gibbeted alive? |
10633 | Now the question was, how the people, thus going up these rivers, obtained their slaves? |
10633 | On what ground of theory or history did we act, when we supposed she was never to be reclaimed? |
10633 | Or can the spirit of God, by which we have always professed to be led, be the author of these oppressive and unrighteous measures? |
10633 | Ormond, after having talked with him some time, said,"Well, then, you believe Peter Green was actually murdered?" |
10633 | Shall foreign plagues infest this teeming land, And more than sea- born monsters plough the main? |
10633 | Ships were going occasionally from the port of London to Africa, and why could I not get on board them and examine for myself? |
10633 | Should not we, on the other hand, be benefited by this change? |
10633 | Should we delay, then, to repair these incalculable injuries? |
10633 | Soon after this there was a general cry of"Will you take me, too?" |
10633 | Still in thought as free as ever, What are England''s rights, I ask, Me from my delights to sever, Me to torture, me to task? |
10633 | That the slaves then should have been guilty of great excesses, was not to be wondered at; for where did they learn their cruelty? |
10633 | The body, though under affliction, may retain its shape; and, if it even perish, what is the loss of it but of worthless dust? |
10633 | The great question was, what was I to do? |
10633 | The latter asked who had punished him so dreadfully? |
10633 | The question then was, how long they were to persevere in the crime of its continuance? |
10633 | The question then was, which of the two they were to take as their object? |
10633 | The whole country, he said, had petitioned; and was it any satisfaction to the country to be told, that the committee of privy council were inquiring? |
10633 | Then what is man? |
10633 | Then why offer a reward at all? |
10633 | Then, upon what ground necessary? |
10633 | They were advertised also, in the same papers, to be sold by auction, sometimes by themselves, and at others with horses, chaises, and harness? |
10633 | They would have decried the policy of the measure of the abolition; and where had it been proved? |
10633 | They would have demanded a reverse of it; and might they not in cooler moments have succeeded? |
10633 | This work must be a work of many; and who so proper to assist in it as they, who had before so honourably laboured in it? |
10633 | Thus, for instance, what bill could alter the nature of the human passions? |
10633 | Thus,"And what have ye to do with me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? |
10633 | To what end do we profess a religion whose dictates we so flagrantly violate? |
10633 | Was he not then one of the very persons, whom I had so long been seeking, but in vain? |
10633 | Was he then asking too much of the West Indians, to request a candid consideration of the real ground of their alarms? |
10633 | Was it not clear, that all argument, founded on the supposed pledge of Parliament, made against those who employed it? |
10633 | Was it not evident that the planters thought it more convenient to buy them fit for work, than to breed them? |
10633 | Was it not folly to wait for the stream to run down before we crossed the bed of its channel? |
10633 | Was it not plain that she must suffer from it? |
10633 | Was it not the Slave Trade, which would destroy in time the cruel distinction he had mentioned? |
10633 | Was it not, therefore, idle to rely upon them for the accomplishment of it? |
10633 | Was it only at the outset that we could trace violence and injustice on the part of the Slave Trade? |
10633 | Was it possible to believe that this number could have been legally convicted of crimes, for which they had justly forfeited their liberty? |
10633 | Was it then a prudent thing for them to rest on this commerce for the further improvement of their property? |
10633 | Was not the insanity of the masters of slave- ships to be accounted for on the same principles? |
10633 | Was not this a reasonable conclusion, when they, the deputies, had almost all the first men in the Assembly in their favour? |
10633 | Was not this an awful consideration for this country? |
10633 | Was not this request a proof of the frequency of such acts of rapine? |
10633 | We have no slaves at home-- then why abroad? |
10633 | Were ever any scenes of horror equal to those which had passed there? |
10633 | Were the oppressors and the oppressed so reconciled, that enmities ultimately ceased? |
10633 | Were these, then, a people incapable of civilization? |
10633 | Were they goods and chattels? |
10633 | Were you not made miserable by your debased situation there? |
10633 | What advantages, for instance, would they derive from this pestilential commerce to their marine? |
10633 | What are the different ways of reducing to slavery the inhabitants of that part of Africa which is under the dominion of France? |
10633 | What are the various evils belonging to the transportation of the Africans from their own country? |
10633 | What bill could prevent fraud and violence in Africa, while the Slave Trade existed there? |
10633 | What is that sudden rustling among the leaves? |
10633 | What is the meaning of the noise around us, of the trampling of people''s feet, of the rustling of the bow, the quiver, and the lance? |
10633 | What is the state of society there with respect to government, industry, and the arts? |
10633 | What judges could we get for such an office? |
10633 | What person would risk the comfort of his life by the exercise of so invidious an interference? |
10633 | What savage race protects this impious gain? |
10633 | What should we think of those who should say, that it was their interest to injure us? |
10633 | What then was the importation of fresh Africans, but a system tending to the general ruin of the islands? |
10633 | What then was the probability of our example being followed by foreign powers? |
10633 | What then would they say to their continuance year after year, and from age to age? |
10633 | What was the answer from Grenada? |
10633 | What was the inference from this moderate assertion, but that we might as well supply them ourselves? |
10633 | What was this but to say, that there were instruments in use which left indelible marks, behind them; and who would say that these were used justly? |
10633 | What were the causes of the insurrections there? |
10633 | What would be the consequence? |
10633 | What would the house think, when by the concurring testimony of these the true history was laid open? |
10633 | When a criminal was justly executed, was not the execution justice to him who suffered, and humanity to the body of the people at large? |
10633 | When the grim lion urged his cruel chase, When the stern panther sought his midnight prey; What fate reserved me for this Christian race? |
10633 | When they want no stimulus to perform their duty, why tell them that if the ship is empty, they get a hundred pounds: if laden, five thousand? |
10633 | When they went to rest, would not their dreams be frightful? |
10633 | Where are those rights? |
10633 | Where bolder assertions of the rights of mankind, than in Tacitus and Thucydides? |
10633 | Where could be found finer sentiments of liberty than in Demosthenes and Cicero? |
10633 | Where else is the temper subject to such frequent irritation, or passion to such little control? |
10633 | Where was he to be defended? |
10633 | Where was the impracticability, on which alone so many had rested their objections? |
10633 | Wherefore have we that pattern of goodness and humanity, if we refuse to follow it? |
10633 | Whether it was humane, just, and politic in us so to place them? |
10633 | Who ever read the facts recorded of Nero without suspecting he was mad? |
10633 | Who hath stamped upon them so sacred a character as to silence mine?" |
10633 | Who is he that just now started across the narrow pathway, as if afraid of a human face? |
10633 | Who is that wretched woman whom we discover under that noble tree, wringing her hands, and beating her breast, as if in the agonies of despair? |
10633 | Who knew anything of what was doing by the committee of privy council, or what progress they were making? |
10633 | Who would endure such a law? |
10633 | Who would not be apt to impute insanity to Caligula-- or Domitian-- or Caracalla-- or Commodus-- or Heliogabalus? |
10633 | Why are those persons flying from our approach, and hiding themselves in yon darkest thicket? |
10633 | Why did all- creating Nature Make the plant, for which we toil? |
10633 | Why did he refuse to give it? |
10633 | Why did we make laws to punish men? |
10633 | Why then am I devoid of all to live That manly comforts to a man can give? |
10633 | Why was injustice to be suffered to remain for a single hour? |
10633 | Why were they then to be troubled again with arguments of this nature? |
10633 | Why, then, should we promote them in the West Indies? |
10633 | Why? |
10633 | Will not his works still breathe his sentiments upon it? |
10633 | Will not the blessings which we have abused loudly testify against us? |
10633 | Will not the blood which we have shed cry from the ground for vengeance upon our sins?" |
10633 | Would any man estimate the character of the English nation by what was to be read in the records of the Old Bailey? |
10633 | Would it be nothing publicly to recognise great and just principles? |
10633 | Would not our virtue be the more signal? |
10633 | Would they not be obliged to come to us, in consequence of the cheapness of our manufactures, for what they wanted for the African market? |
10633 | Would they then sanction enormities, the bare recital of which made them shudder? |
10633 | and that a trade of this nature, carried on round her coasts, must extend violence and desolation to her very centre? |
10633 | and uprightly enslaved? |
10633 | and what abuses were greater than robbery and murder? |
10633 | and, if you wronged him, would he not revenge? |
10633 | do you buy me, who am a great trader?" |
10633 | have you laugh your fill? |
10633 | that her savage manners must be rendered still more ferocious? |
10633 | whether the West Indies, at this hour, were, not in a state in which they could maintain their population? |
21714 | A slave- dealer? |
21714 | A what, Bumble? |
21714 | A wot? |
21714 | Ai n''t it beautiful? |
21714 | Ai n''t we all pursooers? 21714 All for_ one_ fish?" |
21714 | An''are they a- crownin''of him now? |
21714 | An''so you expec''s they''re goin''to make you a king for all that? |
21714 | An''the boat? |
21714 | An''warn''t the doctors right? 21714 And all,"continued Martha,"in consequence of his resolutely and obstinately, and wilfully and wickedly going to sea?" |
21714 | And do you think he''d be so mean as to tell? |
21714 | And how much is` so''much, Ailie? |
21714 | And so, sir,said Captain Dunning,"you call this your` misfortune?''" |
21714 | And they''ve got something to say to you about going to sea-- would you like to go? |
21714 | And what, my pretty one,he said,"what should we do with the fellow in the stern? |
21714 | And when are ye to be crowned, Bumble? |
21714 | And when''s that? |
21714 | And who''s to pay for our foretopsail- yard? |
21714 | Are not all serpents poisonous? |
21714 | Are you quite sure of that? 21714 Are you quite sure of that?" |
21714 | Ay, greedy; has any o''you lads got a dickshunairy to lend him? 21714 Been to sea as a cook?" |
21714 | Blowed away? |
21714 | But are you sure your messmates are as willing as you are to witness against the captain? |
21714 | But have you not seen Rokens or Briant? |
21714 | But what''s the fire for? |
21714 | But where did ye come from, an''why are they arter ye, lad? |
21714 | But, I say, lads,interposed Jim Scroggles, seriously,"wot''ll we do if it comes on to blow a gale and blows away all our purvisions?" |
21714 | By the bye, Millons, did n''t you once fall into a whale''s skull, and get nearly drowned in oil? |
21714 | Can it be? |
21714 | Can it have been Glynn? |
21714 | Can you? 21714 Can_ you_ get un for us?" |
21714 | Come now, avic, wot''s the raisin ye wo n''t go? 21714 Could n''t we have the tipple first?" |
21714 | Could you not,she said, in a half- whisper,"cut the rope, and then paddle away back while_ they_ are paddling down the river?" |
21714 | D''ye hear? |
21714 | D''ye see it, Ailie? 21714 Dear child, what can you possibly know about law?" |
21714 | Did anybody else ever see it? |
21714 | Did n''t you, ma''am? |
21714 | Did ye ever see that word in Johnson? |
21714 | Did you ever see_ three_ kittens together? |
21714 | Did you hear that? |
21714 | Did you not tell me a few minutes ago that the water was almost done? |
21714 | Do n''t I know wot''s best for ye? 21714 Do n''t ye know that_ we_ is the purshooers,''cause why? |
21714 | Do n''t you see your drogue has broke loose? |
21714 | Do n''t you think it will be required? |
21714 | Do n''t you think our house will fall, dear papa? |
21714 | Do n''t you think, dear, Martha, that there''s some more of that word on the next line? |
21714 | Do whales go to school? |
21714 | Do you ever swear? |
21714 | Do you see that mountain? |
21714 | Do you think that we can continue to exist if our daily allowance is reduced one- fourth? |
21714 | Does God work miracles still? |
21714 | Eh? 21714 Eh?" |
21714 | Even suppose we were strong enough to punish them, what good would it do? 21714 Fat you say, sare?" |
21714 | George,said Martha, drying her eyes, and speaking in tones of deep solemnity,"did you ever read_ Robinson Crusoe_?" |
21714 | Girl,said the captain, turning suddenly towards her,"is breakfast ready?" |
21714 | Harm? 21714 Have whales got brains?" |
21714 | Have you a madman on board your ship? |
21714 | Have you really anything to say to me about that ship? |
21714 | He said that, did he? 21714 Here you are, lassies; how are ye?" |
21714 | Here''s a puzzler wot''ll beat it, though,observed Tim Rokens;"suppose we all go on talkin''stuff till doomsday, w''en''ll the boat be finished?" |
21714 | How are you so sure it was n''t that? |
21714 | How can you, brother? |
21714 | How can you? |
21714 | How deep is it, Glynn? |
21714 | How do you know? |
21714 | How far? |
21714 | How many casks did you bury? |
21714 | How much do you claim for damages, George? |
21714 | How much? |
21714 | How so, Ailie? 21714 How would you like to go with me to the whale- fishery?" |
21714 | How? 21714 I ax yer parding, sir,"said Tim Rokens, addressing Dr Hopley;"but I''m curious to know if crocodiles has got phrenoligy?" |
21714 | I s''pose I may set here till ye come back? |
21714 | I say, Dr Hopley,remarked Captain Dunning, as he gazed intently into the gloom astern,"did you not hear voices? |
21714 | I suppose you mean a suggestion, eh? |
21714 | I think we may say, what has brought_ you_ here? |
21714 | I wonder why God made them? |
21714 | I''ll be the death o''that brute yet,said Gurney, wiping the perspiration from his forehead;"but go on, Rokens; what was it you saw?" |
21714 | I''m sorry for that,replied the child;"for a fire is_ so_ nice and cheery; and it helps to keep off the wild beasts, too, does n''t it?" |
21714 | If you are Jacko''s self- appointed uncle, and Miss Ailie is his adopted mother, wot relation is Miss Ailie to you? |
21714 | In course I do n''t; how should I? |
21714 | Is any one inclined to try it? |
21714 | Is everything snug, Mr Millons? |
21714 | Is he dead? |
21714 | Is it good? |
21714 | Is it? |
21714 | Is n''t Tim Rokens very funny, papa? |
21714 | Is n''t it strange, Glynn, that there are such ugly beasts in the world? |
21714 | Is n''t what funny? |
21714 | Is she? |
21714 | Is that a bit o''the wreck? |
21714 | Is that all? |
21714 | Is that another on ahead? |
21714 | Is there nobody to look arter these matters in Christian lands? |
21714 | Is your mistress at home? |
21714 | Is_ this_ your favourite tipple? |
21714 | Is_ who_ dead? |
21714 | It was rather odd,replied Glynn;"but where did you go after that?" |
21714 | It''s meself ca n''t tell,replied Briant;"d''ye know, Tim?" |
21714 | Like what, papa? |
21714 | Looking at the fish, Ailie, as usual? |
21714 | May he? |
21714 | Me ketch''i m? |
21714 | Me tell a story? 21714 Messmates,"said Tim Rokens, who for some time had leaned with both elbows on his oar and his face buried in his hands,"wot d''ye say to a bath? |
21714 | No, never,replied the captain;"what has that got to do with it?" |
21714 | Not goin''to be king? 21714 Not ready for supper?" |
21714 | Now, what am I to do with it? 21714 Now, what''s wrong?" |
21714 | O, why did ye kill her? |
21714 | Obey orders, will you? |
21714 | Oh, Glynn, is that you? 21714 Oh, it''s_ him_ you mean, is it? |
21714 | Oh, nonsense, why not? |
21714 | Oh, thank you, Glynn; but why did you go down so quick and stay so long? 21714 Oh, that''s a pity, is n''t it, Glynn?" |
21714 | Oh, then we went on, and on again, until we came to--"It''s your turn at the wheel, lad, ai n''t it? |
21714 | Oh, then you did_ not_ see the drogue attached to the whale? |
21714 | Plaze, sir, may I shoot him? |
21714 | Say, is it? 21714 See who?" |
21714 | Shall I give the order, sir? |
21714 | Shall we ever see land again? |
21714 | Shall we go back an''pick it up, sir? |
21714 | Shall we sleep here till morning? |
21714 | So he does,said Ailie;"is n''t it funny?" |
21714 | So much? 21714 Sure? |
21714 | Tell both of''em I''m here, then,said the captain, stepping into the little parlour without further ceremony;"and is my little girl in?" |
21714 | The eggs? |
21714 | Then I suppose you have no objection to try a glass of my favourite tipple, have you? |
21714 | Then why ai n''t Bibles sent to''em at once? |
21714 | Then why do n''t they git more funds? |
21714 | Then,argued Martha,"will you, can you, George, contemplate the possibility of your only daughter coming to the same dreadful end?" |
21714 | There''s ever so many Johnsons in the world; which on''em all do you mean? |
21714 | Too bad, indeed; yes, is n''t it? |
21714 | W''y? 21714 We are certain of nothing,"replied the captain;"but even suppose we were, how are we to get hold of them?" |
21714 | Well, Ailie,said Glynn, cheerfully, as he opened the door and peeped in;"how d''ye get on, dear? |
21714 | Well, Millons, what news? |
21714 | Well, and what does skulking mean, and shirking work? |
21714 | Well, it''s so long ago since I sung that song, shipmates,replied Gurney,"that I''ve bin and forgot it; but Tim Rokens knows it; where''s Rokens?" |
21714 | Well, we came up with a big whale, and fixed an iron cleverly in him at the first throw--"An iron? |
21714 | Well,began Ailie;"but where was I?" |
21714 | Were the other men as eager for the fight as you were? |
21714 | Werry good,returned Rokens;"but wot makes ye for to expect it?" |
21714 | What are they saying to you to- night? |
21714 | What are you going to do with the wood, papa? |
21714 | What d''ye say to dig a hole and stick the things in it? |
21714 | What do they spear them for? |
21714 | What do you mean by striking that fish? |
21714 | What has detained you, eh? |
21714 | What have you got to say, then? |
21714 | What is it? |
21714 | What is that? |
21714 | What mean you by stopping me? |
21714 | What mean you, sir? |
21714 | What mischief have you been about? |
21714 | What nonsense you talk, George; but I suppose you really do use pretty large hooks and lines when you fish for whales? |
21714 | What now? 21714 What right have you to ask?" |
21714 | What''s come of Glynn? |
21714 | What''s that? |
21714 | What''s that? |
21714 | What''s the very ticket? |
21714 | What? |
21714 | What? |
21714 | What_ can_ have done it? 21714 Where away now?" |
21714 | Where away? |
21714 | Which is it, doctor dear? |
21714 | Who from? |
21714 | Who''s Johnson? |
21714 | Who''s that? |
21714 | Who''s the` pursooers?'' |
21714 | Who, then? 21714 Who? |
21714 | Why did n''t you heave- to when I ordered you,he said,"and so save all this trouble and worry?" |
21714 | Why do n''t you go away when you''re told, eh? |
21714 | Why not? |
21714 | Why not? |
21714 | Why, Glynn, what has kept you, lad? |
21714 | Why, what have you got there? |
21714 | Why, what would you do with it, Dick? |
21714 | Why, what''s the matter, man? |
21714 | Why, what''s wrong? |
21714 | Why? |
21714 | Will it do you much harm, dear, papa? |
21714 | Will no one call out murder? |
21714 | With or without capers- sauce? |
21714 | Wo n''t I? |
21714 | Wo n''t he? |
21714 | Wo n''t we leave it, dear papa,said she,"to go up yonder?" |
21714 | Wo n''t you come in and say it here? |
21714 | Wos he a big or a little feller? |
21714 | Wot can it be a- doin''of here? |
21714 | Wot can it be? |
21714 | Wot then? |
21714 | Wot was it? |
21714 | Wot''s a Solon? |
21714 | Wot''s he bin doin''? |
21714 | Wot''s that there soup made of? |
21714 | Wot, do n''t ye know who Johnson is? |
21714 | Wot? |
21714 | Would you like a little more tart? |
21714 | Would you? |
21714 | Yes, Ailie; the one in the middle, you mean, do n''t you? 21714 You ai n''t afraid, air you?" |
21714 | You are quite sure that you saw it? |
21714 | You do n''t mane to tell me, now, that_ whalers_ comes in here for slaves, do ye? |
21714 | You do n''t mean it? |
21714 | You do n''t suppose I''d go fur to tell lies, do you? |
21714 | You do n''t, do n''t you? |
21714 | You may sit there till they turn you out; but come and take breakfast with me at the same hour to- morrow, will ye? |
21714 | You no tell what I go to say? 21714 You wants a cook, I b''lieve?" |
21714 | You''ll stay a long time with me before you go away to sea again, wo n''t you, dear papa? |
21714 | You''re a cook, are you? |
21714 | You''re quite sure of that? 21714 _ Quite_ dead?" |
21714 | ` We''ve been all''--I ca n''t make this word out, can you, dear? |
21714 | ` Why do n''t you ask himself?'' 21714 ` Will ye come an''see it this night?'' |
21714 | ` Wot''s all to do?'' 21714 ` Would n''t I?'' |
21714 | A dog- kennel, eh?" |
21714 | Ai n''t it? |
21714 | All ready?" |
21714 | And did n''t I hear the convarse o''all the doctors in the place? |
21714 | And did n''t they go through adventures that would have made the hair of mortals not only stand on end, but fly out by the roots altogether? |
21714 | Anything more?" |
21714 | Are you one?" |
21714 | Are you ready, my pet? |
21714 | At last Ailie held her hand towards it and said--"Wo n''t it come to me, dear, sweet pet? |
21714 | At last he emitted several strong puffs of smoke, and said--"Young man, did you ever_ see_ your own mind?" |
21714 | Being apparently satisfied with the man''s account of himself, Captain Dunning put to him the question--"Do you drink?" |
21714 | Besides, the rascals in front might take it into their heads to paddle after us, you know, and what then?" |
21714 | Both ladies exclaimed,"What point, George?" |
21714 | Business first, and pleasure, if ye can get it, arterwards-- them''s my notions, Nip-- Nip-- Nippi-- what''s your name?" |
21714 | But tell me, Ailie, how was it that you managed to keep afloat so long? |
21714 | Can you, Jane?" |
21714 | Come, Jim Scroggles, you can tell him what it means-- you''ve been to school, I believe, hain''t you?" |
21714 | D''ye see that whale now?" |
21714 | D''ye think the bottle o''brandy stole his- self?" |
21714 | Dear me, Martha, you and Jane-- look as if you had been running a race, eh? |
21714 | Did Glynn speak to you within the last ten minutes?" |
21714 | Did I niver tell ye o''the Widdy Morgan, as had a ghost come to see her frequently?" |
21714 | Did any of ye iver study midsin?" |
21714 | Did n''t I say that I''d tell ye a story as would prove to ye that ghosts drink, more especially Irish ghosts? |
21714 | Did n''t he lamp two on''em with a rope''s- end once till they wos fit to bust, and all for nothin''but skylarkin''? |
21714 | Did n''t he make them talk, as mortals never talked before; and sing as mortals never dreamed of? |
21714 | Did n''t yer poor owld mother tell ye, Phil, that ye''d come to a bad end-- she did--""Are ye badly hurt?" |
21714 | Did you find out who the poor fellow is yet?" |
21714 | Do n''t they look so_ very_ like as if they were all painted black?" |
21714 | Do n''t you observe it''s''cause he han''t got none at all to see? |
21714 | Do n''t you think, captain, that we might have our breakfast to- night? |
21714 | Do you know which part of the whale struck your boat? |
21714 | Do you think it was the Holy Spirit who put them into my mind? |
21714 | Doctor, can you tell me now, which is the easiest of digestion-- a hard egg or a soft one?" |
21714 | Else, wherefore does the Father love it and care for it so tenderly? |
21714 | Glynn, Glynn Proctor,"roared the first mate from the deck--"where''s that fellow? |
21714 | Glynn,"exclaimed Ailie, in a whisper-- for she felt that things were beginning to look serious--"what_ are_ we to do?" |
21714 | God would not make me feel so happy if we were going to be lost, would He?" |
21714 | Have ye sich an article in these parts?" |
21714 | Have you breakfasted?" |
21714 | Have you caught any codlings, Bumble?" |
21714 | Have you had a glass this morning?" |
21714 | Have you thought?" |
21714 | He han''t got even the ghost of one, so how could ye expect anybody to see it?" |
21714 | He''ll take such famous care of me; now_ wo n''t_ you let me go, papa?" |
21714 | How came you to leave your cabin, dear? |
21714 | How d''ye know that?" |
21714 | How wos it, now, that you so mistook yer trade as to come for to go to sea?" |
21714 | I could only just make out the winder by the pale starlight that shone through it, but the moment I set my two eyes on it, wot does I see? |
21714 | I looks round in all directions, but I could n''t see nothin''--cause why? |
21714 | I was born at sea, d''ye see? |
21714 | I wonder if it was a poisonous serpent?" |
21714 | I''ve found ye, have I? |
21714 | Is floating on your back a miracle?" |
21714 | Is n''t that the usual way of serving these fellows out?" |
21714 | Is there a chorus to it?" |
21714 | It treats every one ill.""Wo n''t it treat Captain Dixon well, if he wins, aunt?" |
21714 | Jim says he never seed his own mind-- very good; and he says as how nobody else niver seed it nother; well, and wot then? |
21714 | Kit stowed and anchor tripped? |
21714 | Let me go, will ye?" |
21714 | Might it not have been the part of the fish near the tail, now, that struck you, or the fin just under the tail?" |
21714 | Not love our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives? |
21714 | Now, what say you? |
21714 | Now, wot then?" |
21714 | Serves him right; do n''t it, Glynn?" |
21714 | So again I say, who cried` Shame?''" |
21714 | So it wos you stole the brandy, wos it? |
21714 | Tarquin?" |
21714 | The mate came close to the captain''s side and said,"Did you see, sir, the way them men on the mainyard were scramblin''down?" |
21714 | Then he thought,"What if I have turned just as I was coming up with her?" |
21714 | There ai n''t no ghosts, is there?'' |
21714 | W''at say you, doctor?" |
21714 | Was it grand, Glynn?" |
21714 | Was it not the_ third_ oar, now?" |
21714 | Was it the head?" |
21714 | Was n''t it funny? |
21714 | Was n''t it odd?" |
21714 | Was n''t it strange? |
21714 | Was n''t we all pursooing the whale together?" |
21714 | Was the drogue attached when the boat came up? |
21714 | Well, now, what have you to tell me about the_ Termagant_? |
21714 | Well, reader, and why not? |
21714 | Well, wan evenin''I wint to see her, an''says I,` Mrs Morgan, did ye iver hear the bit song called the Widdy Machree?'' |
21714 | Well, would ye b''lieve it, shipmates, at that same moment up starts the ghost again as bold as iver? |
21714 | Were the other men in your boat in a similarly unobservant condition?" |
21714 | What a very pretty bit of coral I see over there, close to the white rock; do you see it? |
21714 | What d''ye say, boys; shall we beat''em?" |
21714 | What do you say to go with me and Ailie on our next trip, sisters? |
21714 | What is that?" |
21714 | What more can you tell me? |
21714 | What say you?" |
21714 | What sort o''baccy d''ye smoke, Rokens?" |
21714 | What think you, Ailie, my pet, will you be able to stand it?" |
21714 | What was to be done? |
21714 | What''s that?" |
21714 | What_ is_ it, doctor?" |
21714 | Where have you been?" |
21714 | Where is he?" |
21714 | Where is it?" |
21714 | Who are you, and where bound?" |
21714 | Who are you, and where from?" |
21714 | Who has not? |
21714 | Who is it, did you say?" |
21714 | Who is? |
21714 | Who made it?" |
21714 | Why wo n''t ye, now?" |
21714 | Why, what are you making? |
21714 | Why?" |
21714 | Why?" |
21714 | Will you trust me?" |
21714 | Wot is to be done?" |
21714 | Wot more would ye have? |
21714 | Wot''s a ship without a''elm? |
21714 | Wot''s a song without a chorus? |
21714 | Wot''s plum- duff without the plums? |
21714 | Wot''s wrong wid ye, Bumble?" |
21714 | Wot-- supposin''ye had the chance-- would ye give, at this good min''it, for a biled leg o''mutton?" |
21714 | Would your lordship be so good as to note that? |
21714 | Yes or no?" |
21714 | Yes, well?" |
21714 | Yet why should I conceal from her the danger of our position? |
21714 | You know what fire- flies and glow- worms are?" |
21714 | ` Wot,''says I,` keep a garding, and plant taters, and hoe flowers an''cabidges?'' |
21714 | ` Would ye like to hear it, darlint?'' |
21714 | ` Ye ai n''t a- goin''to take spasms?'' |
21714 | ai n''t it swate?" |
21714 | am I?" |
21714 | and then followed it up with the abrupt question--"Do you drink?" |
21714 | at it yet? |
21714 | but I would like to have''em up in a row-- every black villain in the place-- an''a cutlass in my hand, an''--an''would n''t I whip off their heads? |
21714 | came down- stairs like an echo, from the region of Miss Martha Dunning''s bedroom, and was followed up by a"What is it?" |
21714 | capting,"exclaimed the wrathful Irishman, reproachfully,"sure ye would n''t spile the fun?" |
21714 | cried Ailie, laughing,"how can you?" |
21714 | cried Tarquin, looking fiercely round on his shipmates,"who cried shame? |
21714 | cried the captain, with lively interest;"and her captain?" |
21714 | do n''t he pull? |
21714 | do n''t you feel hungry?" |
21714 | doctor, have ye strength to set disjointed limbs?" |
21714 | echoed Rokens, in disgust;"why did n''t ye say, so at first? |
21714 | exclaimed Martha;"to whom do you refer?" |
21714 | exclaimed Phil Briant, all his blood rising at the mere mention of the horrible traffic;"could n''t we land, capting, and give them a lickin''? |
21714 | exclaimed Tim Rokens, withdrawing his pipe from his lips;"do you_ sell_ niggers?" |
21714 | he said,"that''s your game, is it? |
21714 | interrupted Glynn;"what''s that?" |
21714 | more wanting to go ashore?" |
21714 | morther, could n''t I burst?" |
21714 | not give our warmest affections to all these?" |
21714 | observed Rokens;"and d''ye suppose he''d give ye the right name?" |
21714 | said Aunt Jane indignantly;"but what could we expect? |
21714 | said Rokens;"d''ye mean, a ruler of this here country?" |
21714 | says I;`''av coorse ye are, bliss yer purty face; do n''t I know that ivery boy in the parish is after ye?'' |
21714 | shouted Tim Rokens;"wot boat''s that?" |
21714 | the bright, beautiful world that was made by God to be enjoyed? |
21714 | then ye married the widder, did ye?" |
21714 | what a funny bay that must be--`My dearest Sisters''--the darling fellow, he always begins that way, do n''t he, Jane dear?" |
21714 | what air they doin''wid the poor cratur now?" |
21714 | what can that be? |
21714 | what on airth--?" |
21714 | what''s wrong?" |
21714 | what, where?" |
21714 | what_ can_ that be, Jane?" |
21714 | when? |
21714 | where away, Phil?" |
21714 | where, child? |
21714 | who has been with you?" |
21714 | who''d ha''thought it? |
21714 | why, what about?" |
21714 | will ye take_ me_?'' |
21714 | willin''to go? |
21714 | wot you tink?" |
21714 | ye''ve bin to school, no doubt, have n''t ye?" |
21714 | yelled the bereaved one,"do n''t I know ye?" |
21714 | you prefer big spoons to little ones, my man, do n''t you?" |
21714 | you''re a to- teetler?" |
