8463	But, I have heard it asked:"would you, then, in_ no case_, have soldiers called in during an election?
8463	But, how often have we heard of_ resistance_ being recommended?
8463	But, what say the Correspondents of the Board of Agriculture?
8463	But, where was the_ harm?_ Where was the justification for all this vile, this atrocious abuse?
8463	But, where was the_ harm?_ Where was the justification for all this vile, this atrocious abuse?
8463	But, whose fault was this?
8463	But, why should a city be_ burnt down_, unless protected by_ soldiers_?
8463	Can any one doubt that the Ministers ordered their tools to send me here, that their underlings might exert their petty tyranny, in order to annoy me?
8463	Can you be made to believe that they are sincere when they tell you that they wish for a reform of any sort?
8463	Could he write and publish this from_ rebellious,_ from_ treasonable_ motives?
8463	Could not the settled reputation of being the most consummate of_ knaves_ content them?
8463	Do not freemasons and others parade about with flags?
8463	Gentlemen, can you want any further proof of the political hypocrisy of such men as Mr. Charles Elton, and Mr. Mills, and Mr. Castle?
8463	Have not they their full share of the press at their command?
8463	He asked what was the matter?
8463	How came these newspaper writers to_ know_ the contents of your letter?
8463	How do you know that_ he_ is not going to propose himself?"
8463	How was the peace_ kept then_?
8463	How were riots suppressed in those times?
8463	Hunt?"
8463	I ask them, then, Was it_ unavoidable_ to keep up an army at the expense, including the Ordnance, of 26,736,067 pounds?
8463	I asked if it was not a good note?
8463	I asked them if they did not expect the attendance of any other of the public characters to whom they had written?
8463	I called at Cobbett''s lodgings, in Catherine- street, and asked the young ones, rather sarcastically, if they meant to attend the meeting?
8463	I then inquired what was the nature of the memorial or address which they meant to submit to the Prince Regent?
8463	I therefore demanded if the surveyor was present to answer for himself?
8463	If I were to say this to him, would he not be fully justified in asking me, why_ I did not myself_ act upon the principle of my own advice?
8463	If Sir Samuel Romilly were for reform, why should he be so loath to make the declaration?
8463	If the man elected can take the public money, is not the temptation too great for most men?
8463	Is a man bound to endure this in_ silence_?
8463	Is it to be imagined, that they did not foresee, and, indeed, that they had not frequently seen, that elections produced fierce and bloody battles?
8463	Is not this a pretty stretch of calumny?
8463	Is this nothing?
8463	Is this_ manly_, is this_ fairness_, is this_ discussion_, is this_ liberty of the press_?
8463	It has often been asked, what can_ one man_ do in the House?
8463	It may be asked, why then is he not rich, like other men in his profession?
8463	Mr. Buxton must have long_ known_ the facts which he so eloquently and so affectingly described; and why did he not then describe them_ sooner_?
8463	Mr. Sheriff, turning to Sir Samuel, said,"there you hear, Sir, what the constables say, what can I do more than I have done?"
8463	Nay, do you think that they would hesitate one single half moment to be guilty, for such a purpose, of the blackest perjury themselves?
8463	No, no; but"the_ rabble_, the_ mob_;"and_ what_ were they?
8463	Now, I will candidly appeal to my readers, and ask if ever they heard of a challenge to fight a duel having been delivered in such a way before?
8463	On my stepping forward to address that Livery, the Lord Mayor, Scholey, jumped up out of his chair, and exclaimed,"is he a liveryman?"
8463	Or were they men and women?
8463	SHERIFF--"I hope you feel deep contrition for the deed?"
8463	The commencement of their attack was,"Hunt, where''s your wife?"
8463	The gentleman inquired in what notes I should like to have the change?
8463	The passengers in the first coach also inquired of the coachman whose house it was, and what was the cause of this splendid display?
8463	Those who are of the same opinion with my prudent friend will ask, why did you do so?
8463	Upon what_ ground_, then, is this outrageous abuse founded?
8463	Was ever the like of this performed before in England, or any other country?
8463	Was he to endure the calumnies, the unprovoked calumnies, of that paper_ for years_, and never reply a word?
8463	Was it necessary, in order to satisfy their ambition, to stand unrivalled through the world for folly as well as for knavery?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ for as to pay in the same year, on account of the_ deficiencies_ of the Civil List 584,713 pounds?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ that the Civil List for Scotland should amount to 126,613 pounds?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ that the expense of the Civil List should, in last year, amount to 1,928,000 pounds?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ that the other additional allowances to the Royal Family, in that year, should amount to 366,660 pounds?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ to expend in that year( including) an arrear of the former year, in SECRET SERVICE Money, the sum of 153,446 pounds?
8463	Was it_ unavoidable_ to pay_ last year_, out of the taxes for the relief of the_ Poor_ Clergy of the Church of England, the sum of 100,000 pounds?
8463	Was there ever violence_ like this_ heard of in this world before?
8463	Was this any_ fault_?
8463	Was this hundred guineas the price of that slaughter?
8463	Were they a species of monsters, unknown to our ancient laws and to the Act of George the Second?
8463	What check is there?
8463	What did they say of his not having the letter ready to produce?
8463	What has he done for the people, or for the cause of Liberty, since he has been elected?
8463	What have you had from them but talk?
8463	What he says is certainly true; and is he not to say it, because the saying it may be disagreeable to those who live upon the taxes thus collected?
8463	What stand have they made?
8463	What think you of this, John Gull?
8463	What, then, is a calumniated man to do?
8463	What_ can_ the people at large make out of such a strange medley?
8463	Whatever company you went into, the first question was,"Well, what do you think of the Emperor Alexander?
8463	Whence have_ they_ derived this privilege of assaulting him with impunity?
8463	Why break silence after so long a period?
8463	Why do you not stay and answer the questions?"
8463	Why name me at all?
8463	Why not laugh at me and my trash?
8463	Why should I despair of this, after what I have seen?
8463	Why suppose any such case?
8463	Why was this meeting not to have a flag, if it chose it?
8463	Why, that it was a proof of his being a_ liar, and a scoundrel._ Of what_ was_ it a proof?
8463	Why, then, are they in a passion?
8463	Why, then, have we not peace?
8463	Will any man say that the Regent would have done this, had it not been for the great public meetings held in Spafields and other places?
8463	Would it tend to enable the Landlords and Farmers to pay the interest of the Debt?
8463	Would it tend to lessen the mass of misery that is now in existence?
8463	Would it tend to make the world believe that the Government is good, and is beloved by the people?
8463	Would they say this?
8463	Would you fling his prescriptions into the kennel?
8463	Would you rather see a city_ burnt down_?"
8463	_ Quere_, has it been lowered again, now that the price of provisions is fallen?
8463	_ Who_ was it that_ authorized them_ to publish this account of your letter?
8463	_ who_ were to burn the city?
8463	a year,) what will be the fate of those who are left behind, without the means of flying from the evil?]
8463	and do the advocates of corruption suppose, that our law- makers had not this in their view?
8463	and was this nothing?
8463	do you support the ballot too?"
8463	have you not seen Blucher with his whiskers?
8463	have you not seen the King?
8463	is this_ rebellious_ on the part of Mr. Preston?
8463	not seen the Emperor, and not seen Marshal Blucher''s whiskers?"
8463	said he,"would you besiege the man in his own house?"
8463	surely you have seen the Don Cossack?
8463	tell me whose house this is?"
8463	what do you think of Blucher?
8463	what is_ not_ inflammatory now- a- days?
41023	''Ai n''t you the bloke as bought them pheasants''eggs?'' 41023 ''Been playing a blind school?''"
41023	''Do n''t you know that I have a share in this ship, feller?'' 41023 ''How did yer get on?''
41023	''How many?'' 41023 ''How much for a sitting?''
41023	''How''d yer get on?'' 41023 ''Is the captain aboard?''
41023	''Now, my good woman, what can we do for you?'' 41023 ''Oh, have yer?''
41023	''Surely,''I said, putting her off for the time,''nobody here goes without boots?'' 41023 ''Them?
41023	''Well, sir, we''ve nothing left in the world, and I''ve come to see if you can assist us?'' 41023 ''What d''yer want with the captain?''
41023	''What station?'' 41023 ''What stations have you got?''
41023	''What? 41023 ''Where''s your husband?''
41023	''Who yer getting at?'' 41023 ''Why?''
41023	''Wot kind of eggs is them?'' 41023 ''Would a hen bring''em off?''
41023	And then?
41023	And they reply,''But what are you Guardians for? 41023 And what was that?"
41023	And why not?
41023	And you?
41023	Bonaparty? 41023 But suppose you pay me off when the busy time passes?"
41023	But what are_ you_ going to do?
41023	Ca n''t he earn more than that?
41023	Can you blow the bellows, little''un?
41023	Can you say the Lord''s Prayer?
41023	Can you wonder so many of our people take to drink?
41023	Can you wonder that so many of our people are driven to drink and immorality?
41023	D''yer reckon as Crooks is bigger nor Bony was?
41023	Do you call that acting on a Free Trade basis?
41023	Do you find the same thing happening in regard to old people assisted by a friendly society or a trade union?
41023	Do you refuse it?
41023	Does it look like raining?
41023	Have n''t you heard?
41023	Have you ever stolen before?
41023	Have you?
41023	Heard the news about your old man?
41023	Here,cried a fish- dealer of their number the other day, holding aloft a haddock,"wot price this''ere''addick?"
41023	How do I do it?
41023	How is it, Mr. Crooks, that whatever you ask this Board for you always get?
41023	How long have you been looking for this kind of work?
41023	How many nights did you stay out?
41023	How often?
41023	How would I stop this? 41023 I said,''What have_ you_ done to get rid of him?''
41023	Is it raining?
41023	Is that Mr. Crooks? 41023 Is this the casual ward?"
41023	Let me leave with you, will you?
41023	Of Poplar?
41023	Then you stand for the Living Pension as well as for the Living Wage?
41023	Well, Mr. Crooks, how''s Poplar?
41023	Well, old Charley, what''s the matter now?
41023	What about Napoleon Bonaparty?
41023	What are we to do for them?
41023	What are you crying for, mother?
41023	What d''yer think?
41023	What did Bony do? 41023 What did Dickens do?"
41023	What did you steal?
41023	What do you mean by our class? 41023 What for, sir?"
41023	What happened then?
41023	What''s all this about, Crooks?
41023	What''s happened now?
41023	What''s the good of talking to us like that? 41023 What''s the matter?"
41023	What''s the secret of your magic?
41023	What''s yer trade?
41023	What''s your game?
41023	What''s your name?
41023	Where did you sell the stockings?
41023	Where?
41023	Who are you?
41023	Who is that sad- faced boy?
41023	Why do n''t you ask the landlord to repair it?
41023	Why do n''t you go to the doctor?
41023	Why is she crying now?
41023	Why make all this fuss?
41023	Why on a doorstep?
41023	Why should you think it would make any difference to us?
41023	Why?
41023	Will not trade union conditions be observed?
41023	Will you? 41023 Wo n''t the missus let you?"
41023	Would Mr. Crooks come at once?
41023	Yes,I said,"but do n''t you know the new kind of comfort the Imperialists have found for you?
41023	You can imagine the feeling when, after walking your boots off, a man says to you, as he jingles sovereigns in his pocket,''Why do n''t you work?'' 41023 You know Poplar?"
41023	You want, then, to base out- relief, like an old- age pension, on the Living Wage principle?
41023	''Do I get it for nothing?
41023	''Do n''t yer know I has ter take it for me health?
41023	''Ow would you like to get a ship, an''go out to sea an''fish for''addicks to sell for tuppence in foggy weather like this?"
41023	''The missioner said,"Are you not a miserable sinner?"
41023	''Why should I care about the woman''s rent?
41023	A widow has lost her property-- will Mr. Crooks see her righted?
41023	All well and good; but why is the question not put to other politicians and public men?
41023	And how were the fourteen millions spent?
41023	And looking up into my face, he asked,''Who is yer, guv''nor?''
41023	Another time a man got up, and after reading out a list of parsons who had been sentenced asked me what I had to say to that?
41023	Are n''t they?
41023	At the close of the next week he was asked after pay- time--"Did the missus meet you last week?"
41023	At the end of the third week a fellow- workman whispered:"What time are you going home, Will?"
41023	But are you going to put dead birds before living men?
41023	But he had often heard it asked when a poor man was standing:"Who is finding your money?"
41023	But how could you pay three shillings a week out of that for the rent of our one room and then you and the wife live on the rest?''
41023	But what did Crooks do?
41023	Crooks?"
41023	Crooks?"
41023	Do all mothers have to cry before they can get bread for their children?"
41023	Do you know the Ten Commandments?"
41023	Do you know what I remember about you?
41023	Do you know what that means?
41023	Do you mean to say that I, a working man, am offered something for nothing?''
41023	Do you think the working man gets a day off to see his sons play cricket in the public parks?
41023	Do you think this system of constant starvation would be tolerated for a day if women had the vote?"
41023	Does not that involve an obligation on the State to take temptation out of their way?"
41023	Does the Government prefer grouse- shooting to finding work for honest men?
41023	Does this mean you are going to leave Poplar?
41023	Further, why not try a scheme of afforestation on some portion of these Crown lands, which, after all, were the lands of the people?
41023	Have you ever lived in a family where the slices have to be counted, and where every child could eat twice as much as its allowance?
41023	He said to me quite bluntly,''Are you not a miserable sinner?''
41023	He writes his name, puts his hand in his pocket, and asks how much?
41023	Here are some characteristic dialogues:--"Well, my boy, what are you here for?"
41023	How are we going to train our men and women workers to take on the responsibilities of regulating their own lot in a better manner?
41023	How came it that a working man like Crooks was able to give his whole time to public work?
41023	How was it?"
41023	How would the College fare now?
41023	How?
41023	I''ve known a man say,''Which way shall I go to- day?''
41023	If it''s only cheapness you want, why do n''t you set up the lethal chamber for the old people?
41023	If so, please give up Parliament, for who have we to look to for help if you go away?"
41023	Is n''t it scandalous?
41023	It ran:-- Dear Teacher,--Will you allow my little girls to come home at half- past three?
41023	It was on the Terrace he overheard a Conservative Member ask a Liberal:--"Are you in favour of this Bill?"
41023	It''s so filling, is n''t it, when you''re hungry?"
41023	Meanwhile, what are our children to do for bread?''
41023	Nothing to pay?''
41023	One of the little girls came running up to me in the playground the other day, exclaiming:''Oh, Mr. Crooks, what do you think?
41023	See that champagne glass on the piano?
41023	See?
41023	So he went up to him and said:"Well, mate, what''s amiss?"
41023	Something of the kind has been done in Ireland; why not in England?
41023	Talk about the fierce light that beats upon a throne, what is it to the fierce light turned upon a Labour representative?
41023	That bright- faced lad of twelve-- why is he here?
41023	The Committees found themselves asking, What was the use of organising work for the unemployed when there were no means of paying wages?
41023	The Inspector:--You rely on Mr. Chaplin''s circular?
41023	The coal- man crying coals in the street all in vain, one morning hails him in passing:--"Wot''s wrong with people this morning, Mr. Crooks?
41023	The new- comer said to himself,"I wonder whether you would soon get over it if you had been taken from your mother and parted from a young brother?"
41023	Those"luxuries for paupers"down at Poplar, about which the world was to hear so much, what were they?
41023	Was it at the University?
41023	Was it by taking a double first at Oxford or Cambridge that he would turn out a great law- maker, or was it by constant contact with humanity?
41023	Was the Act, so hardly won, to fail on its first trial?
41023	Was this Bill of theirs only introduced to kill time-- to wait until the birds were big enough to be shot?
41023	What are you supposed to be here for?"
41023	What did Bony do?
41023	What do you expect them to become?
41023	What do_ you_ think?
41023	What else can we do but try to keep the bodies and souls of these poor people together in times of trade depression and cold weather?"
41023	What good can you expect to do with such men?
41023	What have you to say to facts like these?
41023	What is the result?
41023	What is there to giggle at?
41023	What kind of food was it that Poplar dared to give to the poor?
41023	What of them?
41023	What sort of citizens of this great Empire City will they make?
41023	What will you do?"
41023	What_ did_ Dickens do?
41023	When we asked"Why?"
41023	Where can I earn a bob?"
41023	Where shall I look for work to- day?
41023	Who am I to deserve it?...
41023	Who is he?
41023	Who knows but what it is God''s will that we should do it again?
41023	Why ca n''t she get bread?
41023	Why can I always get the truth from the poor, who so often deceive you parsons?
41023	Why could n''t we have had a gentleman for mayor like Morton?
41023	Why did they not discover and report these matters years ago?
41023	Why do I say pay pensions through the Poor Law?
41023	Why should the authority that looks after workhouses for the old and infirm be entrusted with the task of training the young?
41023	With what result?
41023	Wot''s the use of talking to us about sacrifices when we ca n''t make both ends meet as it is?"
41023	Would he come again?
41023	Yes, but where?
41023	Your missus been at you?"
41023	_ A._--Tell me what you would do-- leave them to starve on the streets?
41023	_ Q._--I ask you to show me any authority for a grant continuously of, say, ten shillings a week to these old people?
41023	_ Q._--I suggest, is it not a dangerous doctrine for local authorities to exceed their statutory powers?
41023	_ Q._--Is not that rather a dangerous doctrine?
41023	_ Q._--To other places than Poplar?
41023	gentleman please speak in English?"
41023	he cried;"ai n''t I talked to him at the Causeway here many a time?"
41023	the floor fallen in?
41023	to their names?
