12044After arguing for some time, one evening, with an individual, I proposed the question:''Would''st thou be willing to be a slave thyself?''
12044After speaking two hours, we returned to his house to tea, and he asked:''Why did you not tell the people why you believed you had a right to speak?''
12044Again I put the query:''Suppose thou wast obliged to free thy slaves, or take their place, which wouldst thou do?''

12044And how can you doubt of immortality when you look on your beloved''s face?
12044And how is it in South America?
12044And is it possible, I would ask myself to- night, is it possible that I have this day paid my last visit to the Presbyterian Church?
12044And now, my dear friend, what does all thou hast said in many pages amount to?
12044And what is the reason_ I_ am to be scolded because_ sister_ writes letters in the_ Spectator_?

12044Have women no country-- no interests staked on the public weal-- no partnership in a nation''s guilt and shame?
12044He said,''And yet it is_ audaciously_ asked: What has the North to do with slavery?''
12044I am indeed thankful for it; how could I be otherwise, when it was so evident thou hadst my good at heart and really did for the best?
12044I asked what had made them so depraved?
12044In one of her letters she asks:"Dearest, does our precious mother seem to have any idea of leaving Carolina?
12044In one she asks:"Didst thou know that great efforts are making in the House of Delegates in Virginia to abolish slavery?"
12044In receiving and treating thee as an equal, a sister beloved in the Lord?
12044In the latter part of the second letter she says:--"Dost thou ask what I mean by emancipation?
12044In the spring, she writes in a letter to Thomas:--"The following proposition was made at a Colonization meeting in this city: is it strictly true?
12044In what did it consist?
12044Indeed, I should like to know what I have done yet?
12044Is it any wonder that she tried to grasp too much at first?
12044Is it not forgetting the great and dreadful wrongs of the slave in a selfish crusade against some paltry grievance of our own?

12044Is it right to give up instructing those dear children, whom I have so often carried in the arms of faith and love to the throne of grace?

12044Shall woman refuse her response to the call?
12044She asked me if I thought it wrong to plant geraniums?
12044She could, she says, think of nothing else; and the question continually before her was,"What can I do?
12044She thus writes to a friend:--"Didst thou ever feel as if thou hadst no home on earth, except in the bosom of Jesus?
12044Still the question was ever before her:"Is there nothing that I can do?"
12044Thanks be to Him, I have not yet felt like complaining; nay, verily, the song of my heart is, Who so blest as I?
12044The master burst out laughing, and exclaimed:"Why, are you a nigger too?"
12044The meeting had been gathered some time when I arose, and after repeating our Lord''s thrice- repeated query to Peter,''Lovest thou me?''
12044The only answer she received was:"You are a girl; what do you want of Latin and Greek and philosophy?
12044The question naturally arises: if a little, why not more?
12044To his anxious question,''Pray, what is it?''
12044Was it not a fact that the minds of slaves were totally uncultivated, and their souls no more cared for by their owners than if they had none?

12044What would the breaking of every window be?

12044Who shall dare to say when and where the echoes of her soul died away?

36672I wonder if you would like my old college, Exmoor? 36672 I wonder why it is that no one ever seems to feel very sad or quiet in old, old graveyards?"
36672Is n''t it awful to let a place like this go to pieces so? 36672 Is n''t it funny that we should have peeped into the very garden belonging to the pretty rumpled girl in the bus?
36672Is n''t our young father a wonder?
36672Is n''t she a great girl, though?
36672Is n''t this a jolly place?
36672Is she pretty?
36672Is that all you can say when I chased back from the meeting in Norfolk expecting to find three lone ladies so glad to see me? 36672 Is that where the azaleas are so beautiful?"
36672It was a very risky thing for both of my girls-- they might have got in no end of scrapes-- but what am I to do? 36672 Know it?

18912who will arise an go with me?
40941''Cause why?
40941Ai n''t ye got no manners at all, young Ned?
40941All right, what''s the answer?
40941And how he afterward found the savage who made it, and how disturbed he was to learn that he was not really monarch of all he surveyed? 40941 And kept him to show to me?"
40941And what is a gnat but a small fly?
40941And what shall we do toward meeting it?
40941And you, Charley?
40941Are sting rays good to eat?
40941Are we to find ourselves down with country fever to- morrow morning?
40941Are you much hurt, Charley?
40941As a business?
40941Bress my heart, honey, wha''d you come from?
40941But I say, boys, what''s to be done? 40941 But could n''t a strong man pull a timber down by jumping up and hanging to it with his hands?"
40941But how did it come there?
40941But how on earth are we to get back?
40941But how shall we make the stockade?
40941But what did that fellow get after Charley for?
40941But what do they do with the stuff?
40941But what if the fog lifts in the night?
40941But why could n''t we land if there were danger?
40941By the way, Ned,said Jack,"what luck have you had?"
40941By the way, are you hurt, Jack?
40941By the way,said Jack,"what are we going to dig with?"
40941By the way,said Jack,"what are we to name her?"
40941By the way,said Jack,"what do you make of Ned''s performance?"
40941By the way,said Ned,"why ca n''t we make some better arms?"
40941Ca n''t I though?
40941Ca n''t you hold your course straight ahead?
40941Details?
40941Did you ever eat one?
40941Did you find out any thing about poor Charley?
40941Did you lose the hunting- knife too?
40941Did you think I had run away with your trowsers?
40941Do I look as though I had had a particularly pleasant one?
40941Do fish bite in that way generally down here?
40941Do my dress and general appearance indicate that I dined last evening in the mansions of the great and slept upon a bed of down?
40941Do n''t you remember how you croaked about slips between the cup and the lip when Ned and I were so sure of getting to Bluffton?
40941Do n''t you suppose these things are represented at all in scientific books?
40941Do they bother you, too, with their abundance?
40941Do you have such changes of weather often, down here on the coast?
40941Do you just hold the line in your hand?
40941Does rice grow wild?
40941Go back? 40941 Had n''t we better wait until we get to Bluffton before we order that supper?"
40941Half transparent, is he? 40941 Hardly begun to come in?"
40941Have the creatures teeth?
40941Have they been there, then?
40941Have we got to turn her back again?
40941Have you gone crazy, Charley, or what is the matter?
40941How can we do it?
40941How can we? 40941 How did it catch fire?"
40941How do they burn it?
40941How do you know it will begin running up about eight o''clock?
40941How do you know?
40941How do you mean?
40941How do you mean?
40941How do you mean?
40941How far from the shore were the quarters?
40941How far is it?
40941How is that? 40941 How is that?"
40941How is that?
40941How long is such a fog likely to last?
40941How shall we cook our fish, Ned?
40941How shall we make one?
40941How''ll we help it?
40941How''s that?
40941How''s that?
40941How? 40941 How?"
40941How?
40941How?
40941I do n''t remember, if I ever knew; but why?
40941I say, Charley,said Jack,"if you were obliged to clear an acre of this growth with your own hands what would you do first?"
40941I say, Jack,said Charley,"are you a prophet or a weather witch?"
40941I say, Ned,asked Jack,"what do you mean by saying that sand- flies are n''t gnats?"
40941I say, Ned,said Charley,"why is it that our Southern fishes are so neglected in the books?"
40941I say, young Ned,called Maum Sally,"how long''s ye mean to be gone?"
40941I''m afraid of worse than that,said Charley, solemnly"What?"
40941In for what?
40941In what particular way?
40941Is that magnesia?
40941Is that the nearest point on the mainland?
40941Is the fishing good over there?
40941Is there any land over that way, to the right of Hilton Head?
40941Is there plenty of seed to be had?
40941Is you done come to visit de folks? 40941 Know how?
40941Musicians? 40941 Neither, so far as I am informed,"replied Jack;"why do you ask?"
40941No, the squatters came from the other direction, do n''t you remember? 40941 Now, look heah, young Ned,"she said, with great solemnity,"does you s''pose Ole Sally was bawn and raised in Ole Firginny for nothin''?
40941Of what sort?
40941Oh, we are to use shrimps for bait, are we?
40941Out of the sea- water?
40941Raw?
40941Shall we boil them?
40941Shall we cut more brush to- night, Jack?
40941Stand guard?
40941That is close economy, is n''t it?
40941That''s so,said Ned;"but do you know we''re wasting precious time?
40941The appointed time?
40941Then I understand that fish are so plentiful here and so easily caught that they bother you when you want to catch particular kinds?
40941Then why did n''t you cast anchor when you first saw from the grass that we were in shallow water?
40941Then why did you bring us here?
40941Then why does n''t it burn?
40941Then you think they are likely to attack us later this week or next?
40941To be set on edge?
40941Tossing up for what?
40941W''y wot for is you a takin''things to eat?
40941War?
40941We got to Bluffton on Monday evening, did n''t we? 40941 Well, Ned?"
40941Well, we''ll hope for the best,said Charley,"but ought n''t we to make another effort to find Ned?"
40941Well, what can we do?
40941Well, what has that got to do with it? 40941 Well, what if it does?
40941Well, what is a small fly but a gnat?
40941Well, what is it? 40941 Well, what of it?"
40941Well, what''s your idea for that?
40941Well,replied Ned,"do you know I have been thinking that we should not starve even if we had n''t the water for a source of supply?"
40941Whah is dey? 40941 What are fiddlers?"
40941What are the dimensions of the keel?
40941What are they, then?
40941What are they?
40941What are we to do for nails?
40941What are you doing out there, Ned?
40941What are you thinking?
40941What constitutes the exact difference?
40941What did you call it?
40941What did you hear?
40941What do you mean by negro squatters?
40941What do you mean by that? 40941 What do you mean, Maum Sally?"
40941What do you mean?
40941What do you mean?
40941What in the name of common- sense have you been stuffing your clothes with, Jack?
40941What in the world is a joggling board?
40941What in?
40941What is it, Charley?
40941What is it, Jack? 40941 What is it, Maum Sally?"
40941What is it, Ned?
40941What is it, old fellow?
40941What is it?
40941What is it?
40941What is it?
40941What is our best plan of operations, Jack?
40941What is smoke anyhow?
40941What is that?
40941What is the best timber for the keel?
40941What is the creature anyhow?
40941What is the first thing to be done?
40941What is the measure of damage?
40941What is the thing?
40941What is?
40941What kept her from going all to bits?
40941What on earth shall we do?
40941What plan have you thought of, Jack?
40941What sort of answer is that nonsense to my question?
40941What sort of fish are these, Ned?
40941What sort of thing is a pin- cushion fish?
40941What will make it black?
40941What''s a cetacean?
40941What''s a smudge?
40941What''s country fever?
40941What''s it for?
40941What''s that?
40941What''s that?
40941What''s that?
40941What''s the matter, Maum Sally?
40941What''s the matter, old fellow?
40941What''s the matter?
40941What''s the remedy?
40941What''s the use?
40941What''s to be done?
40941What''s to bother us now, I''d like to know? 40941 What''s up?"
40941What''s your plan?
40941What, Uncle Edward? 40941 What_ do_ you mean?"
40941When shall we start?
40941When shall we start?
40941Where are we to get a boat?
40941Where are your fish poles?
40941Where on earth are you?
40941Where on earth did you get that jargon from?
40941Who in the world can Charley''s''savages''be, Ned?
40941Why ca n''t all three row?
40941Why ca n''t we begin now?
40941Why ca n''t we purify our salt in that way?
40941Why do n''t you put them on?
40941Why do n''t you want to drift?
40941Why not hurry matters by getting out and pushing the empty boat?
40941Why not persuade her to go back and get breakfast ready by the time we get there?
40941Why not row on?
40941Why not? 40941 Why not?"
40941Why not?
40941Why, beautifully white salt to be sure,answered Ned;"is n''t that what you said it was?"
40941Why, do n''t you remember? 40941 Why, do n''t you see?
40941Why, how can such things bite so? 40941 Why, how''s that?"
40941Why, what do you suppose it is?
40941Why,''good''?
40941Why? 40941 Why?
40941Why?
40941Why?
40941Why?
40941Will you really lay aside prejudice, Jack, and eat a well- cooked snake?
40941Yes, I know,replied Ned;"what of that?"
40941Yes, but how about water?
40941Yes, certainly,said Charley,"but what''s the special occasion of this lecture?"
40941Yes,replied Charley Black,"that''s all right, but after that?"
40941Yes; well?
40941You are sure that no matter what happens, you''ll not give up, or grow scared, or get excited in any way?
40941You look solemn, Ned,said Charley;"are you hurt too?"
40941You''re not going to write your book on the Marine Fauna of the Southern States to- night, are you?
40941After all, what occasion for uneasiness is there?
40941An''ai n''t de month done gone, an''heah you is a idlin''about on a ma''sh, an''it Sunday mawnin''too?
40941And if we leave here at noon on Saturday, what can happen to prevent our arrival at Bluffton that evening?"
40941Are you hurt, old fellow?"
40941But are wild grass seeds good to eat?"
40941But did you never notice what extraordinary luck he had?
40941But if we must be poetical and suggestive, why not call her Aphrodite?
40941But what is a''smudge box,''Ned?"
40941But what makes the salt settle?"
40941By blowing the smoke away, and so giving the sand flies a fair field?"
40941Ca n''t you keep the moss wet now?"
40941Charley, where have you been?"
40941Did I come to visit the folks?
40941Did he make a fight when you caught him?"
40941Did it burn the boat?"
40941Did n''t you promise me faithful to be back agin in a month?
40941Did you never notice that nearly all shipwrecks occur along shore?"
40941Do n''t it all depend on the wind?"
40941Do those little clouds mean rain?"
40941Do you know how, Ned?"
40941Do you think I''ve''forgot my manners,''as Maum Sally says?"
40941Does it ever rain here?
40941Don''you know your frien''s is a starvin''?
40941For a moment Charley seemed stunned, but he soon came to himself sufficiently to ask in a querulous tone:"Why did n''t you head him off?"
40941Have n''t they had you prisoner?"
40941He quietly said:"You suspect danger, Ned?"
40941How did you hurt your foot, Ned?"
40941How far is it to Bluffton, Ned?"
40941I say, Ned, do you know if whiting ever dine on kaleidoscopes?"
40941I suppose, Ned, there''s very little to be done fishing from the shore?"
40941I wonder if they''ll kill him?"
40941Is n''t it pretty?
40941Is n''t the country fever likely to bother us over there on the island?"
40941It will be curious, wo n''t it, if we get away Saturday?
40941It''s a wild animal, is n''t it?"
40941Not long before dawn it began to rain, and Ned, who had been dozing, suddenly sprang up, crying out:"What''s that?
40941Now what is there?
40941Rain?
40941Red, shaded off into white?
40941Suppose the savages should attack us here?"
40941That''s the way Crusoe hit upon a name for his savage, you remember?"
40941There, how''s that?"
40941They turned to him now precisely as if he had been much older than themselves, and asked:"What on earth are we to do, Jack?"
40941We can make arrow- heads out of some of our copper bolts, and they are weapons not to be despised-- what are you smiling at, Charley?"
40941What are they?"
40941What are they?"
40941What are you doing, Charley?"
40941What do you know, Ned, about this fish that I have in my hand, and why do n''t you call him a shark''s pilot now, as you say you did a year ago?"
40941What do you mean?"
40941What do you two propose to do?"
40941What good would whining do?"
40941What is it you''ve got in the coffee- pot?"
40941What is it?"
40941What is it?"
40941What is the plan that you speak of?"
40941What shall we do?
40941What was that?"
40941What will your uncle think of us for making free with his house in this way?"
40941What you mean by dis heah sort o''doins?
40941What''s that?"
40941Where are they?
40941Where did I come from?
40941Where did you get that fine fellow, Ned?"
40941Where have you been?"
40941Where is Uncle Edward?
40941Where were the darkies when you saw them?"
40941Where''s your prisoner?"
40941Who knows?
40941Why not dig here?"
40941Would n''t it be better to take a direct course?"
40941You do n''t suppose we''re going to have peace with the squatters now, do you?
40941You do n''t use salt in making pitch, do you?"
40941You go, Charley, wo n''t you?"
40941You remember how frightened Crusoe was when he discovered the footprint in the sand?"
40941and ca n''t you give us something to eat, for we''re nearly starved?"
40941and especially how can they force their way through our blankets and clothes?
40941and is n''t the fish itself a beauty?"
40941and when will they be back again?
40941and where is Aunt Helen?
40941and why is the house shut up?
40941asked Ned,"what do you mean?"
40941asked Ned;"and why not?
40941asked Ned;"what for?"
40941do n''t you?
40941exclaimed Charley;"what shall we do if it does?
40941exclaimed Charley;"why, who ever heard of anybody eating grass seeds?"
40941what are they?"
45782A blade of the shears there, or perhaps the paper cutter-- who knows? 45782 A corpse?
45782After office hours, feloniously and with criminal intent?
45782Am I drunk or mad? 45782 And that was Tommy-- my brother Tommy?"
45782And what then, if the sheriff refuses to do anything?
45782And why did you send your brother to try to scare me to death at Raleigh?
45782And you have placed this business, requiring courage and finesse, in Tommy''s hands?
45782Answer it? 45782 Are those pants up there?"
45782Are you the Professor Griswold who is so crazy about pirates? 45782 Be Gov''nor Dangerfield on this train?"
45782Because you do n''t like him is no reason why every one else should feel the same way, is it? 45782 But I say, Grissy, there is such a thing as fate and destiny and all that after all; do n''t you believe it?"
45782But by the ghost of John C. Calhoun, do n''t you see that I''m losing the chance of my life in my own profession? 45782 But how about that message in the cork of the jug you put on the train at Kildare?"
45782But if you know I''m a liar why are you telling me these secrets and asking me to help you play being governor?
45782But pray, where are we?
45782But suppose it was Griswold,said Cooke, wishing to dispose of the suspicion,"what could he be doing out here?
45782But suppose your adjutant- general should n''t go back to his troops after he sees you, then what am I to do?
45782But the girl he saw from the car window-- did she also appeal to him altruistically?
45782But there''s really no difference between North and South Carolina, is there?
45782But when he comes, expecting to report to the governor and finds that he is n''t here, what do you suppose he will do?
45782But where do you suppose she found Grissy?
45782Captain Webb, what prisoners have you taken, and why are they not gagged to prevent this hideous noise?
45782Check up, cain''t you?
45782Cooke,began Ardmore, addressing his lieutenant gravely from his perch on the settee,"what is the charge against this person?"
45782Cooke,he said, half to himself as he turned the pages,"do you remember just what the constitution says about dukes?
45782Could you tell me whether any members of the governor''s family are at home?
45782Did Nellie tell you that? 45782 Did he shoot in self- defense, or how was it?"
45782Did n''t he answer the letter?
45782Did n''t see him? 45782 Did you say brass?"
45782Did you say seven?
45782Did you see the sheriff at Kildare?
45782Did_ you_ get the jug?
45782Do I understand that you belong to the Virginia tide- water family of that name? 45782 Do n''t I look like a pirate?
45782Do n''t you have to put the state seal on it?
45782Do you know your own name?
45782Do you mean that my brother is taking pay for this mysterious work he is doing?
45782Do you mean the state militia?
45782Do you mean to say you have n''t seen the morning paper?
45782Do you mean,demanded Ardmore,"that the adjutant- general carries all that luggage for himself?"
45782Do you speak of the war of 1861 as the Rebellion or as the war between the states? 45782 Do you suppose they really have Appleweight?"
45782Does that mean they wo n''t fight?
45782Drummer, I reckon?
45782Engaged?
45782Ever been hyeh befo''?
45782Fishing?
45782Full''r empty?
45782Has n''t your father come in yet? 45782 Has no one been here this morning?"
45782Has the military person weak lungs?
45782Have I gone blind or anything? 45782 Have you been at Ardsley recently?"
45782Have you the office keys?
45782He said he represented the state of South Carolina-- do you suppose the governor has really employed him?
45782Here in the state house?
45782Here''s Raccoon Creek, and my own land runs right through there-- just about here, is n''t it, Paul? 45782 His salary?"
45782How about that story that your brother, Samuel Ardmore, is going to marry the chorus girl he ran over in his automobile?
45782How did you get into this thing anyhow?
45782How''s trade?
45782How?
45782I guess he has never molested us any, has he, Paul?
45782I hope you do n''t imply that the motives of the governor of South Carolina are not the worthiest?
45782I hope_ you_ do n''t labor under the delusion that a duke''s any better than anybody else? 45782 I reckon y''u''re the gov''nor, ai n''t y''u?"
45782I suppose Governor Osborne has n''t discussed it with you since his return to Columbia?
45782I suppose the governor did n''t see the attorney- general to- day?
45782I suppose you will deny that you saw Mr. Billings in Atlanta yesterday?
45782I suppose, Mr. Ardmore, that you saw papa at the luncheon at the Pharos Club in New Orleans?
45782I think that sounds just right, only, why not substitute for''honest''the word''vigorous''?
45782I was going to use the requisition--"How?
45782I wonder if the governor''s back yet?
45782I wonder where they keep it?
45782If there''s to be a row, why do n''t you call the police and be done with it?
45782If this be true, Governor Dangerfield, may I ask you, sir, what has become of my father?
45782If we''re accosted, what shall we say?
45782If yo''please, suh, would yo''all''low my mistus t''look at yo''newspapahs?
45782If you please,asked Cooke, when the line had begun to move forward,"what is that wagon over there?"
45782Impertinent? 45782 In the coal cellar?"
45782Is it possible?
45782Is n''t it pretty expensive?
45782Is that you, Jerry?
45782It''s warm, is n''t it?
45782Jerry, what part do you play in these amateur theatricals?
45782Kildare?
45782Knowed my brother?
45782May I ask if it''s the Appleweight case? 45782 May I ask you, Mr. Collins, just what you are doing here?"
45782May I call you Jerry? 45782 Miss Jerry?"
45782Mr. Ardmore, can you keep a secret?
45782My dear sir, I was chosen by the governor because of my superior attainments, do n''t you see? 45782 My governor?"
45782Oh, I mean that I was n''t interested in him-- why should I be? 45782 Oh, Mr.--pardon me, but did you come in from the south this morning?"
45782Pardon me, Mr. Ardmore, but is it true that your sister, the Duchess of Ballywinkle, has separated from the duke?
45782Pardon me, but are you one of the employees here?
45782Pardon me,murmured Habersham; but he asked:"What was Governor Osborne doing when you left Columbia?"
45782Pardon me,said Collins politely,"but is that your personal baggage, gentlemen?"
45782Professor Griswold?
45782She-- who?
45782Signed?
45782So she''s Miss Dangerfield, is she?
45782So you appreciate its significance, do you, Mr. Ardmore? 45782 So you want to find the governor of North Carolina, do you?
45782Stealing your timber?
45782Stop at Kildare on the way up?
45782Taking what?
45782That would be nice for me, would n''t it?
45782That''s good in theory, but how do you justify it in law?
45782That''s what troubles me-- what of the governor?
45782The constitution help me? 45782 The jugs?
45782The what?
45782The wires brought a story this afternoon that your cousin, Wingate Siddall-- he_ is_ your cousin, is n''t he--?
45782Then he is n''t on that case of Chateau Bizet with Appleweight?
45782Then if you are engaged to this military person, just wherein lies the significance of your threat never to marry my brother?
45782Then may I ask, Miss Dangerfield, if you and he are engaged?
45782Then tell me why they have been firing upon our lines? 45782 Then will you kindly tell me your name?"
45782Then, with the distinct understanding that this is_ sub rosa_--now we_ do_ understand each other, do n''t we?
45782They''re coming this way, are they, Paul?
45782This is all right, is it, Miss Osborne?
45782Train runs through the''pretty late at night?
45782Was it at Judge Randolph Wilson''s?
45782Was she a pretty girl?
45782We are quite near the estate of your friend, Mr. Ardmore, are n''t we?
45782We''ll forgive you that; but what did your ancestors do in the Revolution?
45782Well, Paul, what''s the matter? 45782 Well, there''s the map, and there''s that insulting telegram; what are you going to do about it?"
45782Well, you like her, do n''t you?
45782What answer did you make to that infamous effort to intimidate my father?
45782What are you going to do with him?
45782What are you looking for?
45782What did you say you were going to New Orleans for?
45782What did you tell them?
45782What do you think he''s doing?
45782What do you think of that?
45782What do you think of that?
45782What else could I do? 45782 What for?"
45782What is all this stuff?
45782What kind of a jug?
45782What place is this, porter?
45782What the devil is this joke, Ardy?
45782What''s he colonel of?
45782What''s that light away off there?
45782What''s that you were reading when I came in?
45782What''s the matter?
45782Wheh did y''u know Bill?
45782When was she in New Orleans with him?
45782When will he be back?
45782Where does this path lead?
45782Where''s he hiding; do n''t the authorities know?
45782Which sister?
45782Who are they?
45782Who are_ you_ fellows?
45782Who did you say was dead?
45782Who in the devil are you?
45782Who is that?
45782Who takes care of the dungeon while he''s away?
45782Who the devil are you? 45782 Who the devil are you?"
45782Who''s dead?
45782Why not?
45782Why, Mr. Billings, do n''t you remember that father''s dead?
45782Why, what did he say?
45782Why, what''s the matter?
45782Within how many days?
45782Wo n''t you have a seat, Mr. Griswold? 45782 Would you mind repeating those last words?"
45782Y''u likely got samples with y''u?
45782Yes, my lad; in what way can I serve you?
45782You are sure of it-- that there''s no mistake?
45782You handle crockery?
45782You have n''t seen your governor lately, have you?
45782You remember that we spoke the other day of the log house on Raccoon Creek, where the Appleweights had driven off our man?
45782You threw back father''s buttermilk to the man who gave you the applejack? 45782 You traded buttermilk for moonshine?"
45782You will call? 45782 You wo n''t have any hard feelings about that scarlet fever business, will you, Grissy?
45782You''re sure he''s tied up so he ca n''t break away or yell?
45782Your brother sent you? 45782 Your friend, Governor?"
45782Your_ second_ husband, child?
45782Ai n''t yo''be''th comfor''ble, sah?"
45782Am I correct?"
45782Am I right?"
45782And now, what do you say to this telegram?"
45782And while we''re on the subject of religion, may I ask the really, truly wherefore of Miss Daisy Waters''sudden return to Newport?"
45782And you think this will lead to an adventure-- you defer finding the North Pole for this-- for this?
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardmore?"
45782Ardsley is still in North Carolina, is n''t it?"
45782Are these newspaper gentlemen your only prisoners?"
45782Are you guilty or not guilty?"
45782Are you sure there''s only one_ m_ in immediate?
45782As they walked their horses through a bit of sand, the prisoner spoke:"Who air y''u, little gal?"
45782But did she toss her card from the window?
45782But hold"--and Jerry checked her horse--"where can we lodge this gentleman, Mr. Ardmore, until we decide upon his further fate?"
45782But how do you suppose he ever met Miss Dangerfield, who certainly is a self- contained young woman?"
45782But if it is not altogether too great a favor, Mr. Griswold, may I ask that you remain here until to- night-- until my father returns?
45782But may I ask you whether you know of which state you are a citizen?"
45782But what do you suppose actually happened at New Orleans between your father and the governor of North Carolina?"
45782But what do you think of that piece in the newspaper?"
45782But what were you doing, Mr. Ardmore, that you did n''t come around to help?
45782But what''s that over there?"
45782CHAPTER XVII ON THE ROAD TO TURNER''S"Who goes there?"
45782Can it be possible, Mr. Ardmore, that you mean the writ of habeas corpus?"
45782Can you imagine a man of any character or decency sending such a message to the governor of another state?"
45782Can you tell me where your father is to- night?"
45782Can you tell us anything about that, from the inside?"
45782Collins, Frank Collins?
45782Come now, what is your name?"
45782Did n''t you get enough?
45782Did you really say that?"
45782Do n''t look so shocked; when I say I, I mean I--_me!_ Do you understand what I said?"
45782Do n''t you ever read the newspapers?"
45782Do n''t you know that would be an insult to every loyal son of this state?
45782Do n''t you remember that you left nothing but a few burnt almonds which you wanted to keep for eating filapenas?"
45782Do you accept the terms?"
45782Do you know governor''s whereabouts?
45782Do you mean to say that he is n''t even in this state to- day?"
45782Do you mean to say that he wo n''t be here to- day?"
45782Do you still back your arguments with fire- arms down here?
45782Do you suppose, gentlemen, that if North Carolina had drawed South Carolina would n''t have followed suit?
45782Do you suppose, if you were a gentleman I knew and had been introduced to, I would be talking to you here in papa''s office?"
45782Does the romance end here?"
45782Does the wink press so heavily, or what''s the matter?"
45782Griswold?"
45782Have you dined?
45782How are you, Ardy?"
45782How did the grand jury come to indict if this outlaw dominates all the hill country?"
45782How did you know?"
45782How does it strike you?"
45782How far is it, Billy"--he addressed the silent guide--"to Mount Nebo?"
45782How far would Griswold go?
45782How on earth did you come to get it?"
45782I ask you, sir,"--he addressed the prisoner--"to state whether you are not known by one or both of these names?"
45782I ca n''t lie to you about that--""Then you_ are_ a spy?"
45782I say, old man, is the untaxed juice flowing in the forest primeval or what brings you here?"
45782I thought you might have heard something, but of course you could n''t have been awake at two o''clock in the morning?"
45782I wonder if she''s told Daisy yet?
45782I wonder just what passed between them?"
45782In the name of the constitution, I ask you, why not?"
45782Is full military dress_ de rigueur_?
45782Is this arrangement a matter of general knowledge in North Carolina?"
45782Just then a dark shadow appeared in the track and a man''s voice asked cautiously:"Air y''u the conductor?"
45782Let me see; it''s over this way to the mansion, is n''t it?"
45782Let me tell you that I am thirty- two and you are--?"
45782May I ask the whereabouts of your client?"
45782May I ask you again whether you know the gentleman who came in here and beat the door a while ago?"
45782May I use your name in this connection, sir?"
45782Mr. Cooke, I will ask you whether you identify this man as Appleweight?"
45782Now do you understand that this is a serious business?
45782Now let me ask you this: Can an American citizen allow a duke to owe him four dollars?
45782Now that you are the governor, what are you going to do first about Appleweight?"
45782Now, where is that eminent statesman, Ardmore?
45782Now, who''s the chief of police in a county like Dilwell-- what do you call him?"
45782Of course you did n''t sit up all night?
45782Shall I telephone the answers if they come to- night?
45782She poked the floor with her parasol a moment, then raised her head and asked:"Who was it, if you please?"
45782So far it''s only a light in an abandoned house-- is that it?"
45782So that rose is the Barbara?"
45782Sorry; which way are you heading?"
45782Suppose all these people were arrested in Mingo County under these indictments, what would be the result-- trial and acquittal?"
45782Sure, air ye, th''gov''nor''s in they?"
45782TWO COWARDLY GOVERNORS MISSING SCANDAL AFFECTING TWO STATE EXECUTIVES IS THE APPLEWEIGHT CASE RESPONSIBLE?
45782That is quite right, is it; you say you are the Duke?"
45782That''s near your county, where your farm is; did n''t you know that?"
45782The governor was expected home this morning, and I thought maybe--""You''re positive it''s always buttermilk, are you?"
45782The iron enters your soul, does it?
45782The question is, can we do it all in one night, or had we better lock him up somewhere on this side the line and take another night for it?
45782There is no harm in that, is there, Miss Osborne?"
45782Unless I''m crazy that was dear old Grissy, but who is that girl?"
45782WHAT DID THE GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA SAY TO THE GOVERNOR OF SOUTH CAROLINA?
45782We have no comment to make on that, have we, Miss Osborne?"
45782What a fine old town Atlanta is; do n''t you think so?"
45782What about this governor?"
45782What are you?"
45782What can I do for you?"
45782What can I do for you?"
45782What did he say to him?
45782What did he say to you?
45782What did this alleviating balm for tired eyes look like, if you remember anything besides the wicked wink?"
45782What did you say the name of this state is?"
45782What did you say to him?
45782What did you say to him?
45782What did you say your name is?
45782What do you mean by coming here at this time of night?"
45782What do you suppose Appleweight is indicted for in this state?
45782What was he doing when you seized him?"
45782What y''u carry?"
45782What''s Siddy''s latest?"
45782What''s the matter with us, anyhow?"
45782What''s the point about the governor?"
45782What''s this person''s name?"
45782What, by the shade of Napoleon, do you want with pontoons when you have legs?
45782Wher''s the guvner of North Carolina?
45782Where is Foster?
45782Where is this man Foster?"
45782Where was that firing?"
45782Where''s Bill?"
45782Who are we to play bridge and wait upon the pleasure of a cowardly enemy?"
45782Who are we to wait for them to offer battle?
45782Why Ballywinkle?
45782Why New Orleans?
45782Why did I ever send him that scarlet fever telegram, anyhow?
45782Why do n''t you turn explorer and go in for the North Pole?"
45782Why have they been permitted to shoot at our helpless and unresisting men if they are not ready for war?"
45782Why not Argyll; why not Westminster?
45782Why not Minneapolis, or Bangor, Maine?"
45782Why not, if duke you must be, the noble Duke of York?"
45782Why should one?"
45782Will you kindly enlighten us as to how you interpret proper intervals?"
45782Will you kindly get me a horse?"
45782Would n''t they put you up at the house?"
45782You know Nellie?
45782You know the place, do n''t you?"
45782You realize that I have been insulted, do you?"
45782[ Illustration]"Air y''u the gov''nor?"
45782_ What did who say?_ What did the governor of North Carolina SAY To the governor of South Carolina?
45782_ What did who say?_ What did the governor of North Carolina SAY To the governor of South Carolina?
45782_ What did who say?_ What did the governor of North Carolina SAY To the governor of South Carolina?

45782_ What did who say?_ What did the governor of North Carolina SAY To the governor of South Carolina?
45782asked Cooke, pointing,"or is it a hole in the sky?"
45782blurted Ardmore,"why do you sit here when the state''s honor is threatened?
45782blurted the attorney- general,"what game is this-- what contemptible trick is this stranger playing on you?
45782he shouted, as his horse pawed the air with its forefeet,"is this the road to Ardsley?"
26240A common-- stump- tailed-- cur- dog?
26240A nigger dog? 26240 A vision?
26240About what time do you think your master, Colonel Cameron, will honour us with his presence?
26240Afraid they''ll nab me for something?
26240Ah, but will it be? 26240 Ai n''t I done tole you''bout runnin''away?"
26240Ai n''t I er nigger?
26240Always?
26240Am I right?
26240And Gus, the young scamp we used to own; you have n''t forgotten him? 26240 And by whose authority are you a judge?"
26240And did you learn to find all these birds''nests by yourself?
26240And do the rank and file know the Black Pope at the head of the order?
26240And he in love with all?
26240And how will you master and control these ten great Southern States?
26240And my dogs?
26240And my sweetheart, Marion Lenoir?
26240And now, my dear, what must I do to get the passes?
26240And the President paused amid a thousand cares to write that letter to a broken- hearted woman?
26240And what did he say?
26240And what is your message for the South?
26240And why did you nail up the doors of that Presbyterian church?
26240And why, pray?
26240And why?
26240And you are the dear girl who has been playing and singing for my boy, a wounded stranger here alone among his foes?
26240And you have not told me your name?
26240And you know the way?
26240And you the sheriff of this county trotted along in front to make the way smooth for your prisoner?
26240And you think of going back to farming?
26240And you think the South is ready for this wild vision?
26240And you think we will specially enjoy that?
26240And you will help our people lift this curse?
26240And you wo n''t be disappointed in my simple ideal that finds its all within a home?
26240And you''ll never keep a secret from me, dear?
26240And your ideal of life?
26240Are n''t you ashamed of yourself to flirt with me, with one foot in the grave?
26240Are we agreed, gentlemen?
26240Are you a fiend?
26240Are you dead again?
26240Are you the sheriff of this county?
26240Are your father''s poems published?
26240At the price of racial life? 26240 But defeat?"
26240But how did the vote fail-- it was all fixed before the roll- call?
26240But if everything else fail, and this creeping horror becomes a fact-- then what?
26240But where did you run up against hypnotism? 26240 But will your plans work?
26240Ca n''t you see that your so- called States are now but conquered provinces? 26240 Can you blame us for loving such a spot?"
26240Can you help me, dear?
26240Can you stand any more?
26240Could I see the President?
26240Defeat?
26240Des lak any white man?
26240Did Stanton say that I was a fool?
26240Did he dare to try?
26240Did he make love to you?
26240Did you see the little angel who has been playing and singing for me? 26240 Did you study medicine abroad?"
26240Do n''t wish to be protected, sheltered, and cared for?
26240Do you find much use for your powers of hypnosis?
26240Do you know what''s written on this paper, Uncle Aleck?
26240Do you know, my boy, that you have the heritage of royal blood? 26240 Do you know,"he said earnestly,"that you are the funniest, most charming girl I ever met?"
26240Do you love me very much?
26240Do you not fear my betrayal of your secret?
26240Do you think that man Stanton would dare defy the President?
26240Does Lynch?
26240Does he make love to every pretty girl?
26240Ef yer doan''b''long ter no s''iety,said Aleck with judicial deliberation,"what is you?"
26240En what''s de fee fer dat?
26240En will the Lawd''s messengers come wid me right now to de bend er de creek whar I done pick out my forty acres?

26240Excuse-- me-- for-- asking-- but am I alive?
26240For what purpose, sir?
26240For what?
26240Forty acres and a mule for every black man-- why was I ever born white? 26240 Friends of yours?"
26240Got yer deed, is yer, ter stop me payin''my missy her rent fum de lan''my chillun wucks? 26240 Has Aunt Cindy come yet?"
26240Have I, too, sinned and come short?
26240Have n''t you heard what happened to his Honour last night?
26240Have we not had enough bloodshed? 26240 Have you been instructed to act under my orders?"
26240Have you let him see a preacher before putting him through?
26240Have you ordered a barber to shave this man''s head?
26240He is very popular in Piedmont?
26240Honest Injun, here on the sacred altar of the princess?
26240How could a Southerner discover this, if your own children did n''t know it?
26240How dare you strike that man, you devil?
26240How did you escape so soon?
26240How did you rescue him?
26240How do I feel?
26240How do you account for such powers?
26240How ole is you?
26240How on earth did you meet him?
26240How''s my little sis?
26240I suppose you issued an order silencing him from the ministry?
26240I thought the Union League a patriotic and social organization?
26240I thought you favoured the execution of the leaders of the rebellion?
26240I wonder if you know how I love you? 26240 I wonder if you know how important?"
26240I wonder whose will be the lucky name some day within it?
26240If I have n''t suffered in this war, who has?
26240If the negro were not here would we allow him to land?
26240In either event I go to a warmer climate, eh, doctor?
26240Is dat de deed?
26240Is n''t she God''s message to me and to the world?
26240Is n''t she at home?
26240Is n''t that enough?
26240Is n''t your aunt, Mrs. Farnham, the president of a club?
26240Is not the North equally responsible for slavery? 26240 Is that all?"
26240Is that the theatre?
26240Is that the way you escort prisoners before a court?
26240Is there no other way? 26240 Is yer er member er de Union League?"
26240Is you voted to- day?
26240Jeannie, you''re making an idol of her----"Why not? 26240 K. K. K.""Are you an officer of the Union League?"
26240Let''s see some of the goods, Aleck-- are they first class?
26240Look here, Ben Cameron, have you another girl somewhere you''re flirting with?
26240Look here, Stoneman; have you some deep personal motive in this vengeance on the South? 26240 Love your enemies?"
26240May I help you?
26240May I write it out in full-- Margaret Cameron-- Philip Stoneman?
26240May I?
26240Mr. Alexander Lenoir, sah-- is I yo''uncle, nigger?
26240Negro suffrage do n''t matter?
26240Nonsense, father-- you are possessed by an idea which has become an insane mania----"Will you respect my wishes?
26240Now what kind of a dog did I say you are?
26240Now, did n''t I tell you that you could n''t fool me? 26240 Ob cose, Dr. Cammun, you say nuffin''bout what I gwine tell you?"
26240Old Aleck still at home and getting drunk as usual?
26240Perhaps you will present my card, then-- say that I am at his service, and let him appoint the time at which I shall return?
26240Shall I bring the boys?
26240Sold for taxes?
26240Suppose Pickett had charged one hour earlier at Gettysburg? 26240 The preacher wo n''t be here?"
26240Then there''s hope for me?
26240Then why not begin at home this vision, and give the stricken South a moment to rise?
26240Then you do n''t believe this twaddle about equality?
26240Then you will give me one afternoon for a sail on the river to say good- bye and thank you for what you have done for me and mine?
26240Then you will write the President a letter asking that they be allowed to see Doctor Cameron?
26240Then you''ll fight and go back to her with me?
26240Then, how did you know I am a Southerner?
26240They say the rat labels were in a majority in this precinct-- how was that?
26240To the theatre?
26240Tryin''ter vote, is yer?
26240Well, I''m glad of that-- my mare all right?
26240Well, Mrs. Cameron, what did you think of the President?
26240Well, my man, what''s the trouble? 26240 Well, now, then, is this me, or is it not me, or has a cannon shot me, or has the devil got me?"
26240Well, upon my soul,said Ben, taking a deep breath and looking at Elsie,"he''s the whole thing, is n''t he?"
26240Well?
26240What ail it?
26240What ails my ideal?
26240What are you doing to him?
26240What can we do, my darling?
26240What cote? 26240 What did he say to you?"
26240What did he say?
26240What did they say to you?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you mean?
26240What do you see?
26240What do you think of it, Colonel Cameron?
26240What does it mean?
26240What does it mean?
26240What does it sound like?
26240What does that mean?
26240What else?
26240What happened there yesterday?
26240What is it, honey?
26240What is it, sir?
26240What is it?
26240What is the latest news?
26240What must I call him? 26240 What on earth are you going to do, sir?"
26240What right had you under the Constitution to declare war against a''sovereign''State? 26240 What shall I play?"
26240What then?
26240What will we do if Stanton arrests you one of these fine days?
26240What will you give me if I tease you about Margaret right before her?
26240What you doin''here, sah?
26240What''s that?
26240What''s the matter in there?
26240What''s the use of my expressing an opinion when you have already settled it?
26240What?
26240When are you going?
26240Where is Grant?
26240Where is Margaret?
26240Where is Stanton?
26240Where is he?
26240Where on earth did you find them?
26240Who are you?
26240Who said I was defeated? 26240 Who said I was going to die?"
26240Who said my lover was dumb?
26240Who''yer talkin to, sah? 26240 Why are such men intrusted with power?"
26240Why did n''t you walk beside him?
26240Why is it, sweetheart, that a girl will persist in admiring brass buttons?
26240Why not out with it?
26240Why should I be distressed for one, an enemy, among these thousands who have fallen?
26240Why so serious to- night?
26240Why, did n''t you know that my parents were Virginians, and that I was born in Kentucky?
26240Why, what''s all this, Aleck?
26240Why?
26240Why?
26240Will he live?
26240Will it be very difficult to reach the President?
26240Will the President be there, Captain?
26240Will you come to the hotel before they arrive?
26240Will you follow me while I lead you through this town, to show them their chief has fallen, or will you force me to drag you?
26240Will you grant my prayer?
26240Will you hear the prayer of a broken- hearted mother of the South, who has lost four sons in General Lee''s army?
26240Will you join us now, sir? 26240 Will you never breathe it to a soul if I do?"
26240Will you tell?
26240Will you vote?
26240With apologies to the dogs----"Apologies to the dogs----"And why does your master honour the kennel with his presence to- day?
26240With thousands of your own people disfranchised?
26240Wo n''t you give this all up for my sake?
26240Would you consider an offer of twenty dollars an acre?
26240Would you have let him?
26240Yet may we not train him?
26240You are determined to oppose negro suffrage?
26240You are initiating the negroes into the League and teaching them the new catechism?
26240You could have told that story only to the one man whom you love-- is it not true?
26240You do n''t mean it?
26240You doan b''long ter no s''iety, what yer git in dat line ter vote for?
26240You have just come from the Camerons?
26240You hear''bout de great sassieties de Gubment''s fomentin''in dis country?
26240You refuse to heed the wishes of Congress?
26240You remember the young man I pardoned for a similar offence in''62, about which Stanton made such a fuss?
26240You will let me kiss you? 26240 You will let me see him and thank him the moment he comes?"
26240You will not forget to tell him for me?
26240You wo n''t mind if I give you a few lessons in history, will you?
26240You''ll tell me all your love affairs?
26240You_ do n''t_ approve of such injustice?
26240Your decision is unalterable?
26240Your horse is a good one, my child?
26240Your land, Uncle Aleck? 26240 _ Almost_ to a man?"
26240A battle with United States troops now might mean ruin for the South----""But you will save him?"
26240Aleck recovered his dignity and demanded angrily:"Does yer belong ter de Heroes ob Americky?"
26240And yet you press this crime upon a brave and generous foe?"
26240Any further ecclesiastical orders?"
26240Are our skirts free?
26240Are the Night Hawks ready to submit their evidence?"
26240Are there any others?"
26240Are you given to visions?"
26240As the old Commoner hobbled through the door, his crooked cane thumping the marble floor, Sumner seized and pressed his hand:"How did you do it?"
26240Blanched with horror, the mother sprang before Marion with a shivering cry:"What do you want?"
26240But may it not all come out right in the end?
26240By what authority have you appointed military governors in the''sovereign''States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana?
26240Can Barbarism go Further?"
26240Can a man keep his face straight in such a world?
26240Can any one undo this pardon now?"
26240Can he control Stanton?
26240Can human flesh endure it?
26240Can we assimilate the negro?
26240Can you conceive the desolation of_ my_ heart?
26240Can you help me?"
26240Could he win her?
26240Could it be possible they had ventured too near the brink and fallen over?
26240Could negro blood degrade such stock?
26240Dat ole army cote?"
26240Did he aim to make this woman the arbiter of its social life, and her ethics the limit of its moral laws?
26240Did you say--_Phil_?"
26240Did you say_ Marse_ Ben?
26240Do you know Mr. Johnson?
26240Do you own a store?"
26240Dr. Cameron turned pale, and trembling with excitement, asked his friend:"Can that man pass such measures, and the Governor sign them?"
26240Elsie saw the look of helpless appeal in the mother''s face and hurried forward to meet her:"Is this Mrs. Cameron, of South Carolina?"
26240Had you noticed it, Margaret?"
26240Has not the South lost all?
26240Have not the Southern people paid the full penalty of all the crimes of war?
26240Have you been sent to place these irons on me?"
26240Hawk, as Dundreary, was speaking his lines and looking directly at the President instead of at the audience:"Society, eh?
26240He can not pretend that these shackles are needed to hold a weak unarmed man in prison, guarded by two hundred soldiers?"
26240He gasped for breath, sank into his seat, looked around, and said:"Will you close the door?"
26240He sank exhausted in his chair, and, extending his hand in an eloquent gesture, continued:"Surely, surely, sir, the people of the North are not mad?
26240He took Ben''s place just before the guards were exchanged----""Phil!--Phil?"
26240His old master transfixed him with his eyes, and in a voice, whose tones gripped him by the throat, said:"How dare you?"
26240His very presence before them an open defiance of love and life and death, would not his word ring omnipotent when the verdict was rendered?
26240How I''ve dreamed of your future?
26240How can a human being stand it?
26240How can a man live in this world and keep his face straight?"
26240How do we account for sleep and dreams, or second sight, or the day dreams which we call visions?"
26240How do you like it?"
26240How long, O Lord?
26240I never saw a female idiot in my life-- did you?"
26240I thought this a new thing under the sun?"
26240I wish to take you to the theatre to- night, if you will go?"
26240In your soul of souls you do n''t believe in the equality of man if the man under comparison be a negro?"
26240Instinctively he stopped, surveyed the man from head to foot and asked:"What''s the trouble?"
26240Is civilization a patent cloak with which law- tinkers can wrap an animal and make him a king?"
26240Is dat de straight ticket?"
26240Is n''t he handsome?
26240Is n''t it the distant beat of horses''hoofs?"
26240Is not God''s vengeance enough?
26240Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as charged in this article?"
26240Is you er hero?"
26240It was Papa''s study just as he left it, with his papers scattered on the desk, the books and pictures that he loved-- you wo n''t mind?"
26240May I go?"
26240May I, again?"
26240May not the black man speedily emerge?
26240McAllister?"
26240Might not an ape improve it?
26240Must I say''Your Excellency?''"
26240Must we wait in line?"
26240No?
26240Now that they have taken me at my word, shall I betray them by an ignoble revenge?
26240Now that we have won, and established for all time its unity, shall we stultify ourselves by declaring we were wrong?
26240Now, will you go?"
26240On the brink of the precipice, the mother trembled, paused, drew back, and gasped:"Are you not afraid, my dear?"
26240Our party has lost its first President, but gained a god-- why mourn?"
26240Over the solemn trembling silence the voice of the Chief Justice rang:"Senator Ross, how say you?
26240Phil looked at the freshly cut circle and laughed:"I wonder if Marion or her mother did that?"
26240President?"
26240Shall they return to rule?"
26240She attempted to rise, and cried in rage:"How dare you, black brutes?"
26240Stanton?"
26240Stoneman snorted in disgust:"Will you ask the Mayor to call to see me at once?"
26240Stoneman''s face was a thundercloud as he scrambled to his feet and glared at Aleck:"_ Marse_ Ben?
26240Suppose the_ Monitor_ had arrived one hour later at Hampton Roads?
26240Tell him to hold five hundred men ready for action in the woods by the river and the rest in reserve two miles out of town----""May I go with her?"
26240That North Carolina and other waste territories of the United States are unfit to associate with civilized communities?"
26240The Lieutenant approached and remonstrated:"Why compel me to add the indignity of personal violence?
26240The doctor-- has-- not-- concealed-- his-- true-- condition-- from-- me?"
26240The election judge straightened himself up with great dignity:"What wuz de rapscallion doin''?"
26240They began to cry, and he said with a smile:"Come now-- do you love me?"
26240To blockade a port?
26240To create the State of West Virginia by the consent of two states, one of which was dead, and the other one of which lived in Ohio?
26240To declare slaves free?
26240To invade one for coercion?
26240To suspend the writ of_ habeas corpus_?
26240Turning to Dr. Cameron, he asked:"Why should they put a brute like this in charge of the poor?"
26240Was Sherman''s march a picnic?
26240Was he too late?
26240Was his the mysterious arm back of Stanton?
26240Was she cold and incapable of love?
26240We can yet appeal to the conscience and the brain of our brethren of a common race?"
26240Were they not the children of her soul in that larger, finer world of which she had dreamed and sung?
26240Were you there?"
26240What could it mean?
26240What do you know against him?"
26240What does your lover think of it all?
26240What else matters?
26240What have I done?"
26240What is it?"
26240What more do you want?"
26240What shall I do?"
26240What ud yer do widout er man lak me enjued wid de sperit en de power ter splain tings?"
26240What will happen in the South?
26240What''s that?"
26240When did you ever know me to deny my help to a weak man or woman in distress?"
26240When did you get it?"
26240Whence came this miracle of influence about him, this gift of intimacy?
26240Who knows?
26240Who''s he?"
26240Why beat your wings against the thing that is and must be?
26240Why should she give them up now for brutal politics?
26240Why trim the hedge and lie about it?
26240Will you be kind enough to explain to this court what has happened to you lately to so miraculously change your manners?"
26240Would Congress follow the lead of the President or challenge him to mortal combat?
26240Would Grant, the Commanding General of the Army, dare protest?
26240Would not his name be a terror for every man and woman born under Southern skies?
26240Would the Southerners be allowed to enter?
26240Yet-- would he dare?
26240You did n''t refuse Henry Grier because you loved Ben Cameron-- now, did you?"
26240You do n''t approve of such things, I know?"
26240You do n''t mind black cats, do you?"
26240You do n''t mind jay- birds, do you?"
26240You know Margaret, too, do n''t you?"
26240You met him in Washington, did n''t you?"
26240You understand?"
26240You wo n''t let anybody hurt him?"
26240Your perfect trust to- night is the sweetest revelation that can come to a woman''s soul and yet it brings to me unspeakable pain----""For what?"
26240and from what secret cave will this whirlwind come?"
26240said Ben;"if you ca n''t ratify with a rat, I''d like to know why?"
26240when they realize its meaning, whose arm will be strong enough to hold them?"
15591''Have you Kiss''d the Bride, Sir?'' 15591 ''Have you Wish''d the Bridegroom Joy?''
15591''If seven maids with seven mops, Swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,''the Walrus said,''That that would make it clear?'' 15591 Absurd notion?
15591Absurd notion?
15591Against Mr. Jelnik? 15591 Ai n''t it the truth, though?"
15591Alicia Gaines, do you realize I am thirty- six years old?
15591All that?
15591Am I a type, Woman- in- the- Woods?
15591Am I to be flouted thus by a piece of pink- and- whiteness just escaped from the nursery pap- spoon?
15591An''you know ouah flouah, Miss Sophy?
15591And do you agree to stick it out, you and I shoulder to shoulder, town or no town, ha''nts or no ha''nts; and win out?
15591And if-- the lady you told me about-- you understand-- you will tell me, too, will you not? 15591 And is it a sign of advancing age and mental decrepitude not to admire this fellow?"
15591And now that you have found him,said Mr. Jelnik,"had n''t you better let me help you set him up?"
15591And now, may I ask you one or two plain questions, please?
15591And now,he asked,"are you strong enough to come with me?"
15591And people?
15591And was he really guilty?
15591And was it because you loved me, dear girl, that you put the absurd notion of asking me to marry him into Doctor Geddes''s head?
15591And we''re the best of all stimulants, are n''t we, Sophy?
15591And what, then, is_ this_?
15591And who was playing it, Uncle Adam?
15591And yet you''re going to marry him, Sophy?
15591And-- The Author?
15591Answer my question, please: Do you imagine you love him, Sophy?
15591Are n''t you forgetting your profession?
15591Are n''t you rather forgetting the Watcher in the Dark? 15591 Are we impertinent children to be thus lightly dismissed?
15591Are you trying to rival the Seven Sleepers?
15591At least,said Alicia, laughing,"_ he_''ll never live to be an old woman, will he, Sophy?"
15591At my own price?
15591Because we are going to be real friends, you and I; are we not?
15591Because why?
15591Boarding- house? 15591 But The Jinnee?"
15591But how-- how-- why did she come here? 15591 But if you are perfectly sure of your own feelings, if there is absolutely no doubt in your mind that you love her--""Love her?
15591But we were speaking of The Author: may I ask how The Author appeals to you as a human being, Miss Hopkins?
15591But we''re good friends; are n''t we, Sophy?
15591But what is one girl''s affection to a man born to be loved by women?
15591But where shall I begin now?
15591But why have I been sent for? 15591 But why, may I ask, did you choose such a situation for the statue?"
15591But,he suggested, brightening,"could n''t you wish to be my own dear little girl, instead?"
15591But-- I saw--"You saw him kiss me on the cheek? 15591 By whom, then, shall I be guided?
15591Ca n''t you? 15591 Comes again?
15591Could we have it in your delightful library?
15591Dat''s what I axin yit: who playin''Mis''Scarlett''s pianner when dey was n''t nobody in de house?
15591Did n''t I tell you she''d had a bad time and was n''t herself? 15591 Did n''t you ask me,"I demanded,"to throw them over into your yard when they invaded my premises?
15591Did n''t you have a nice time?
15591Did n''t you just hear me tell you I meant to keep on being friends with you?
15591Did you have time to make out that grocery list? 15591 Did you hear it, too?"
15591Do I not also pay?
15591Do n''t you? 15591 Do you know what they''re saying in Hyndsville now?
15591Do you know,--The Author was plainly pleased--"that that is one of the very nicest things that''s ever been said to me?
15591Do you know,he asked,"if that man Jelnik is coming to- night?
15591Do you know,he spoke in a plaintive voice--"that I have n''t had any lunch?
15591Do you like a pipe?
15591Do you think I''ll make him a good wife, Sophy?
15591Do you think you are able to walk now?
15591Do you use pillows?
15591Do you want to go?
15591Doctor Geddes,said he, in a razor- edged voice,"it is no light affliction to be kin to the Hyndses!--What do you want me to explain?
15591Does she care for anybody else?
15591Does this astound you? 15591 Eh?"
15591Even in the bowels of the earth?
15591Exactly: where did I put it?
15591For me? 15591 For_ us_?"
15591Found what?
15591Fräulein, may one smoke?
15591Good God, do n''t you understand that I love you?
15591Had either the Doctor or the foreigner any real claim or right to this property, do you know?
15591He has need of me?
15591How else, pray, shall one run one''s house with any degree of system?
15591How much did you say was in the bank?
15591How old should you imagine me?
15591How should I know?
15591I wonder if I''d have been equal to that, myself, if I''d been born a nigger dog with an ingrained distrust of the white man?
15591I''m supposed to be somewhat of an old stick myself: why not try me, instead of the broom?
15591I? 15591 I?"
15591If Richard were the thief, to whom did he give the loot? 15591 Is Alicia offended?"
15591Is he?
15591Is it a light thing for Nicholas Jelnik to say to the woman he loves,''I can not marry you: I am a beggar''? 15591 Is it-- murder?"
15591Is it?
15591Is n''t she?
15591Is n''t there something I can do for you, doctor?
15591Is that so?
15591Is this true?
15591Jelnik? 15591 Joke?
15591Joke?
15591Leetchy,the doctor asked, when the mollified Miss Hopkins had departed,"why did Martha go off grinning?"
15591Lunch?
15591May I ask questions?
15591May one be permitted to congratulate you, upon your indubitably dramatic instinct?
15591Me? 15591 Miss Smith,"began The Author abruptly,"did you know this house was built by British and French master masons?
15591Miss Smith,whispered Miss Emmeline, under cover of their laughter,"may I have a word with you?"
15591Miss Sophy, you know we- all''s sugah?
15591Missises,said the old man, anxiously,"you- all ai n''t meanin''ter stay hyuh to- night, is you?"
15591Mr. Jelnik, I ask you plainly: Why do I find Miss Smith here at this hour? 15591 Mr. Johnson?
15591My dear girl, do n''t you realize that this thing is n''t all beer and skittles?
15591Near neighbor of yours?
15591No,Alicia doubted,"this is not true: it ca n''t be!--Sophy, do you see it, too?"
15591No? 15591 No?
15591No? 15591 No?
15591Not sure?
15591Oh, is that you, at last, Sophy?
15591Oh, what have I done?
15591Oh, who could have been so stupid and so cruel as to hide away something so lovely? 15591 One of my little granddaughters, taken to Saint Polycarp''s by her mother, asked,''Mamma, who is that big woman up there with the pick- axe?''
15591Restless?--you? 15591 Shall I bind your hand for you?"
15591Shall you go on with the search?
15591Shall you, Richard?
15591She had Hynds relatives, then? 15591 Should n''t you?"
15591Should you?
15591Something over the hills and far away? 15591 Sophronisba Two,"he asked, we being alone in the library,"what have I done to offend Alicia?"
15591Sophy darlin'', I''m deplorably young, am I not?
15591Sophy, Peacocks and Ivory is a very wonderful person, is n''t he?
15591Sophy, is it-- Jelnik?
15591Sophy,Miss Emmeline said, smiling,"I do n''t see anything left for me to do but come back to Hyndsville, do you?"
15591Sophy,he said, huskily,"what does she see in me?
15591Sophy,said she, some time later,"is n''t it just possible you misunderstood Mr. Jelnik?
15591Sounds like a stark raving, does n''t it? 15591 Temper?"
15591The master is not ill, then?
15591Then you have experienced it, too?
15591There is another man?
15591Think I''d make a woman a reasonably good husband?
15591Uncle Adam,Alicia asked, while he was drying himself before the blazing logs,"Uncle Adam, who''s the violinist around here?"
15591Was it because you have ceased to care for Alicia, already?
15591Was there a Hynds woman named Helen? 15591 We are n''t ever going to be sorry we came here-- together-- are we, Sophy?
15591We do lead you a pretty dance, do n''t we, dear John Bull?
15591We have a cat?
15591Well, and what did you do?
15591Well, what do folks say?
15591Well?
15591Well?
15591Well?
15591What are you doing here, if you please?
15591What are you doing here?
15591What are you thinking of, Sophy?
15591What are_ you_ going to do about the lady you are really in love with?
15591What day, to be exact?
15591What do you propose to do?
15591What do you want to know for?
15591What happened last Wednesday to make you think of asking me to marry you?
15591What have you found?
15591What is it you know about brains? 15591 What is the matter?
15591What was Johnson talking to you about, that you both looked so earnest?
15591What was de text to- day, Miss Sophy? 15591 What''s his game, anyhow?
15591What, man, you too? 15591 What,"says he,"a Hynds woman painting of strange folks their faces?
15591What? 15591 What?"
15591What_ do_ I look like, then?
15591When can we have them, please?
15591When is The Author coming back? 15591 Which of you is Miss Smith?"
15591Who are you that prowl about other peoples''yards like a thievish cat?
15591Who is it? 15591 Who knows what any woman knows or thinks?
15591Who shot off that rooster?
15591Who talks of a Watcher in the Dark?
15591Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him?
15591Who''d suspect this fellow of volcanic possibilities?
15591Who''s talking about boarders?
15591Who, me?
15591Whut foh yuh come by mah field, lil w''ite lady?
15591Whut yuh doin''hyuh, w''ite lady?
15591Why ca n''t you?
15591Why did n''t you ask Alicia?
15591Why did n''t you find out?
15591Why did the sahiba follow when I showed her a broken coin?
15591Why do n''t you interview Judge Gatchell?
15591Why do n''t you rap on one of the tables,I suggested ironically,"and call up your high spirits to do your bidding?"
15591Why have you come? 15591 Why not ask him to let you see them, then?"
15591Why not? 15591 Why should n''t you make poetry if you feel like it?"
15591Why should you? 15591 Without disturbing a Watcher in the Dark?"
15591Writing another paper on''The Ironic Note in Chivalry''? 15591 You are sure there is none to see?
15591You are wondering where we are?
15591You do n''t want Hynds House? 15591 You doubt this?
15591You have been in a secret room?--here in Hynds House?
15591You inherited this property from an old aunt, I believe?
15591You mean he should marry some great lady, some dazzling beauty? 15591 You never cared for Geddes?"
15591You see, Sophy, I never once dreamed--"That he cared for me? 15591 You wo n''t, then?"
15591You''re going to marry me, then, Sophy?
15591You''ve found the statue, Schmetz? 15591 _ Now_ will you get those clothes, Sophy Smith?"
15591_ Sophronisba?_ What! 15591 _ Temper?_ Here''s a minx that''s all but murdered me, and yet has the stark effrontery to blather about temper!
15591_ Why_ should I have more clothes?
15591_ Why_ wo n''t you marry the other man, Sophy?
15591''Turn Hellen''s Key three tens and three?''
15591A house, a fence, a barn, even a sign- board?
15591A text- book, a title, a will, a deed, a business letter?
15591Achmet, there is no stranger around?"
15591After an astounded moment:"Is n''t this rather sudden?"
15591Again I ask you, what are you doing here?
15591Ai n''t you nevah had no relations to fight wid, ma''ams?"
15591Alicia all right, too?"
15591Am I not also a good dog?"
15591And after I have taken Hynds House, what of you?
15591And as she passed me by-- for I was standing in the door-- a fold slipped, and what do you think she was holding to her breast?
15591And did you dream that somebody called you-- and held you-- and would n''t let you go?"
15591And for goodness''sake what do you think that woman wore over it for a traveling- cloak?
15591And may I give you a cup of tea?"
15591And she added blandly:"Four o''clock, did you say?
15591And she added, with a glimmer of humor in her worried eyes:"As you say you''re a business woman, may I say I hope you will get your money''s worth?"
15591And then he asked, abruptly:"Has Jelnik called yet?--gray house on the other side of you.--No?
15591And were we-- she hesitated-- were we going to be regular communicants?
15591And what happened then?"
15591And what of Alicia?"
15591And where did you put it?"
15591And why have you come near Hynds House, at this hour of the day?
15591And will they?"
15591And with unfeigned amazement:"In the name of high heaven, what is Jelnik''s son doing_ here_?"
15591And-- and was that all?"
15591Another one?
15591Anyhow, she preferred you to any of us, did n''t she?"
15591Are n''t you grateful, little god, that Sophy and I came to Hynds House?"
15591Are n''t you rather overdoing things, Leetchy?"
15591Are your meal hours fixed, even as the laws of the Medes and the Persians?"
15591As to your behavior to Miss Smith--""_ My_ behavior to Miss Smith?"
15591At the last, who but Him of Galilee shall speak for us?
15591Besides, he--""Wants Alicia?
15591But I could n''t take you offhand into my confidence, could I?
15591But just let Mary Magdalen roll out an unctious,"Whah is yuh, Beaut''ful Dawg?"
15591But may n''t I congratulate_ you_ upon knowing him?
15591But since when did Ariel take to tobacco?"
15591But stay: surely your hair is arranged differently?
15591But what about The Author?
15591But what''s the odds, when every male being in sight would rush to her aid with an umbrella?
15591But you were about to propose to Miss Smith in due form, were you not?
15591But, good heavens, why?
15591But-- isn''t this just a bit sudden?
15591By the way, did I merely imagine I heard a violin last night?"
15591By the way, would you mind addressing me as''Nicholas''?
15591Ca n''t miracles happen for Beautiful Dogs as well as for other folks, when times and seasons are propitious?
15591Carn''t spell''saloon''?
15591Confound you, Jelnik!--why do n''t you do something?
15591Dear Miss Emmeline, would it be too much to ask you to keep this to yourself, for a while at least?
15591Dear Miss Smith, would it be too much to ask you to let me have my little talk, a very informal little lecture, in wonderful old Hynds House?"
15591Dear and lovely as she is, she could n''t make him happy, either-- Don''t you think I''m a fool, Sophy?"
15591Did I know where he was?
15591Did I know who designed it?
15591Did a faint, faint shade of regret flit over the parchment- like face?
15591Did he tell you anything about Richard?"
15591Did n''t I tell you you''re not to think of what''s happened?
15591Did n''t he ask you?"
15591Did n''t one of the Dampiers murder somebody, or something like that?
15591Did n''t we_ know_?
15591Did you find me, over there?"
15591Did you know that Queen Victoria, when she was a child, had the same virtuous inclination?
15591Did you think I would haggle with you?"
15591Do n''t you hear dear old Boston calling you, Sophy?
15591Do n''t you understand?
15591Do n''t you understand?"
15591Do you feel able to go on?"
15591Do you insist upon a sacrosanct meal hour?
15591Do you know what I think of you, Mr. Jelnik?
15591Do you like parrots?
15591Do you think I''m good enough for_ her_, Sophy?"
15591Do you understand me, Miss Smith?
15591Does Jelnik care, do you think?"
15591Does she know, or suspect?
15591Doubt_ Sophy_?
15591For heaven''s sake?
15591For instance, do you sleep with all your windows open?"
15591Go away from Hyndsville, leaving this friendlier, pleasanter, happier life behind?
15591Good heavens, Alicia, however did you get such a notion?
15591Had I not promised, smilingly indeed, but sincerely, to answer that call whenever and however it should come?
15591Have n''t you got on a new frock to- night?
15591Have you ever in all your life seen a house that needed so much done to it as this house does?
15591Have you ever known an old lady who thought herself captivating?
15591Have you ever known any old man who did n''t think he could be if he wished?"
15591Have you lost your senses?
15591Having him here in Hynds House almost justifies turning the old place into a boarding- house, does n''t it?"
15591He added, hastily:"In the meantime, I hope you have n''t fared too badly in this mildewed jail?"
15591He added, thoughtfully,"Curious notion; is n''t it?"
15591He strolled over, hands in pockets, and looking down at grubbing us, asked politely:"Making a garden?"
15591He walked up to his cousin and looked straight in his eyes:"Richard, you''re not such a fool as to dare doubt_ us_?"
15591He was here, then?"
15591Here in this house?
15591How about''The Effect of the Pre- Raphaelites upon the Feeble- minded''?
15591How could we two be real friends, when the balance between us was so uneven, so unequal?
15591How could you win my virgin heart, Yet leave that heart to break?
15591How do I know?
15591How do you like his secretary?"
15591How long has he been here?"
15591How many blankets?"
15591How much had Judge Gatchell seen fit to tell us?
15591How shall I repay you?
15591How you- all comin''on?
15591I asked;"in God''s name, what?"
15591I have dug from the earth the leetle boy of stone-- you know him,_ hein_?
15591I have to live here all the rest of my life, have n''t I?"
15591I hope it is really true that there is an Influence in Hynds House?
15591I never knew before that men had legs like that, did you, Sophy?"
15591I said again:"Do n''t you understand?
15591I say, Miss Smith, let me keep this for a while, will you?"
15591I say, is Morenas going to do you, too?"
15591I shall take--""Soothing syrup?"
15591I ventured to put a part of the vagary to the acid test:"Alicia, I was n''t thrown out again, into water, was I?"
15591I wish a black mustache went along with the cup and the house; do n''t you?
15591I wonder why?"
15591I''m going to ask you a straight, man question; is that girl a-- a flirt?
15591If I stay alive, will you marry me, Leetchy?"
15591If he did it, where did he hide the plunder?
15591If he knew that much, had n''t he any heart?
15591If you could have seen the poor dear, trying to martyr himself, just to oblige you--""You_ refused_ him?"
15591In the meantime, what of_ me_?"
15591Is it not enough for me to suffer?"
15591Is it such a small sacrifice to give you up, Sophy?"
15591Is it the orders of you that I devastate those fowls, Mademoiselle?"
15591Is n''t it wonderful and impossible and exciting and delightful?
15591Is n''t that mischief enough for one day?"
15591Is your stuff Madison Avenue or Grand Rapids?
15591It could n''t have been Sophronisba herself?
15591It is heads!_"Did he smile?
15591It is not these you want?
15591It''s pretty, but is it art?
15591Leave Hynds House, forever?
15591Let''s see: her grandfather was a Dampier, was n''t he?
15591Look here, Doctor Richard Geddes: if I was not firmly and truly your friend, I should be furious, do you understand?
15591Love her?
15591Maybe bumbye you and me make some Medicine?"
15591Miss Smith, why do I find you here-- alone?"
15591Miss Smith, you will permit me to withdraw?
15591Most merciful God, how came he by that Paper if the Tale be untrue?
15591My dear, dear woman, ca n''t you see that it''s almost a law of nature for you and me, who do n''t agree about anything, to marry each other?"
15591Nicholas Jelnik accept gifts from women?"
15591No?
15591No?
15591Not one of whom would fail to remark, casually:"Oh,_ did_ you see that Miss Smith with Doctor Geddes this morning?
15591Now then, what have you to say?"
15591Now, am I a stranger?"
15591Now, are n''t dreams absurd?
15591Now, as to science: what is your attitude toward evolution?"
15591Now, lastly, sister, tell me truthfully: are you a Democrat or a Republican?"
15591Now, my dears, was n''t that an odd sort of dream?
15591Now, shall I leave you?"
15591Now, shall you keep the lane closed, or shall you dismiss the injunctions?"
15591Now, should n''t Alicia and I have been happy?
15591Now, was not that remarkable?"
15591Now, what about Hynds House?"
15591Now, what do you say to marrying me?"
15591Of a sudden he straightened his shoulders, and stood erect:"Miss Smith,"he said, with grave politeness,"will you do me the honor to marry me?"
15591Oh, God, God!--who is it?"
15591Oh, yes, another thing I want to ask you: what sort of perfume do you use, and where do you get it?"
15591Or does n''t she, Johnson?"
15591Or is he coming back?"
15591Or is it the''Relation of the Child to Its Mother,''this time?"
15591Or should I, though?
15591Or,"Lawsy me, Miss Jinny, dat boy o''yo''s is jes''natchelly bustin''outer da clo''es wid growin'', ai n''t he?
15591Perhaps after a while some of them will bow to us, or maybe even say,''How do you do?''
15591Poor dear little god, are n''t you glad to get out of that grave and come back to the sun?
15591Presently:"Is it so hard to lose that which you never possessed?"
15591Presently:"Sophy?"
15591Refuse to let him go?
15591Remains: Who got them?
15591Richard''s house?
15591Riedriech stuck his grizzled head out at a window, cautiously:"Fräulein, she hass gone?"
15591Riedriech would regard you paternally, placidly, benevolently, through his large, brass- rimmed spectacles:"So?
15591Scoundrel, puppy, foreign- born poacher, did n''t you see my sign- boards?"
15591Shall I give her a stimulant, doctor?"
15591She asked, instead:"Did you hear what that great blundering doctor said about tinkling out a tune on a piano?"
15591She is not a-- jilt?"
15591She raised her voice:"Did you not see those signs?
15591She said, why did n''t I care for you instead of her?
15591She was n''t really worrying about the heathen: he had all the rest of his benighted life to get himself saved in, had n''t he?
15591Should you like to be mine, Sophronisba Two?"
15591Should you mind if I kept my dog''s place warm at your feet, Miss Smith?"
15591Should you think that accounted for his mama''s presence, Sophy?
15591Sophy, are you capable of supporting a parrot?
15591Teller of tales, is n''t it moon- stuff you''re trying to spin?"
15591That is so,_ hein_?"
15591That night went I to Shooba secretly, and said,"Is thy Snake awake?
15591The jewels?
15591The secretary looked at the slipper lying at his feet:"I wonder where he found that, now?"
15591Then she looked at him with Irish eyes:"Have you had your lunch, dear?"
15591Then:"Sophronisba Two, you consider me a reasonably decent sort, do n''t you?"
15591There was but one person alive who knew, and that was--""A slave?"
15591These Southerners are easy to love, are n''t they?
15591They cared for its history and its hatreds not a fig: what has April to do with last November?
15591To find the Hynds jewels, after a century?
15591To the minister, who bearded her for her soul''s sake every now and then, she spoke in words brief and curt:"You here again?
15591To what?
15591Wanted to see me, hey?
15591Was I, or was n''t I, engaged to a man who had never asked me to marry him?
15591Was it because you cared, Sophy?"
15591Was it not rather for me to accept, meekly, the high gift that the gods in a sportive moment chose to toss to me?
15591Was it, perhaps, to forget such a one that he had exiled himself?
15591Was n''t Nicholas Jelnik holding my hand?
15591Was n''t that enough?
15591We could n''t, for was n''t our own house waiting for us?
15591Well, supposing?
15591Well?"
15591What are we quarreling about, Sophy?"
15591What are you doing here, at this hour?"
15591What are you going to do about The Author, Sophy?"
15591What are you going to do about the lane behind Hynds House?
15591What are_ you_ doing here at this hour?"
15591What could any woman say in such circuit stances?
15591What do you get?"
15591What do you think of stewed rhubarb?"
15591What do you want to reduce for, anyhow?
15591What further?"
15591What had he wanted to tell, as he lay there dying?
15591What have we here?"
15591What have_ I_ to do with Hynds jewels?"
15591What is the matter?
15591What is wrong, Sophy?
15591What right have you got to ask_ any_ questions?"
15591What was it before?
15591What was it that really lay between those two brothers?
15591What''s he after?
15591What''s he here for?
15591What''s on the carpet now?"
15591What''s the matter with this house?"
15591What''s the matter?"
15591What, and my name Sophronisba?"
15591Whatever ailed the man?
15591When did it seize you?"
15591When he was coming back?
15591When we had walked a little farther:"Does n''t she know you care for her?"
15591Where did they go?"
15591Where should the jewels be but here?"
15591Who brought me here?
15591Who do you suppose had a mustache and drank out of that cup?
15591Who''s the player, Miss Smith?"
15591Who, then, was I, a woman named Smith, to say nay to this miraculous possibility?
15591Whoever in this world heard of buying a girl''s ring before she''s said''Yes''?"
15591Whut yuh wake me up for, w''ite gal?"
15591Why and wherefore the mystery?
15591Why are n''t you home and in bed?
15591Why are strangers necessary?"
15591Why are we quarreling?
15591Why are_ you_ here?"
15591Why did n''t he consult older members of the community, who could furnish him with immensely interesting side- lights on the Hyndses?
15591Why did you promise love to me And not that promise keep?
15591Why did you say my face was fair, And yet that face forsake?
15591Why did you swear mine eyes were bright, Yet leave those eyes to weep?
15591Why did you turn that coin when it meant''Go,''and bid me, instead,''Stay''?
15591Why do n''t you talk?"
15591Why had he come to Hyndsville?
15591Why have you been weeping?
15591Why should n''t Nicholas go into partnership with him?
15591Why should n''t Nicholas share everything the open- hearted, open- handed doctor had?
15591Why should n''t she be taken with him?"
15591Why should she come here, make her way through those dreadful passages, save for that?
15591Why should you, or any other ordinarily intelligent person, be guided by Gatchell?"
15591Why, then, did n''t you ask Alicia, instead of coming to me for second choice?
15591Why, then, should you complain?"
15591Why?"
15591Why?"
15591Will you believe that?"
15591Will you share them with me, Miss Smith?
15591Wire from Miss Smith to The Author: What is Art?
15591Would it make a dent in your armor of righteous meddling, if I were to remind you that you are seriously annoying Miss Smith?"
15591Would you mind telling me how I might become such an accomplished forgetter?"
15591Would you mind telling me how you happened to think of letting me in on it, eh?"
15591Yet if he did n''t do it himself what was he trying to tell when death cut off his wind?
15591You had some definite plan which hinged upon your finding them?"
15591You were by way of advising me to marry The Author, were you not?"
15591You were several classes ahead of me in school, do n''t you remember?
15591You wo n''t take Hynds House?"
15591You would n''t think an old soul of almost a hundred could find very much chance to brew mischief, would you?
15591You''ll remember that, wo n''t you?"
15591You''re rather glad to see your friends, are n''t you?"
15591You''ve never had a conjured two- hundred- and- forty- pounder on your hands, have you?
15591You, Geddes?
15591You?"
15591Your hens, creatures malicious and accursed--""Why should I look at your horrid stomach?"
15591_ Her name is Sophronisba_!--I-- oh, Lord, where''s Jelnik?
15591are you satisfied?"
15591blinked the doctor,"what?
15591can be a very present help in times of social trouble, ca n''t he?
15591cried The Author, shrilly;"ignorant of the bard raised, so to speak, around your own door- step?
15591gasped Miss Martha, who showed a modest salt- cellar in the mildest of Vs."Is it possible you do n''t like him?"
15591gulped the doctor,"oh, deuce take you, Sophronisba Two, what do you mean by scaring honest folks half out of their wits?"
15591say you, resignedly, with a feigned smile;"what is it, Mary Magdalen?"
15591shrieked The Author, stamping with fury,"_ my_ behavior to Miss Smith?
15591ting- a- ling- a- ling!_ I say,''Who de name er Gawd in ol''Mis''Scarlett''s pahlor, when dey ai n''t nobody in it?''
15591wailed Alicia,"whatever is the matter with us, anyhow?
15591was he?"
15591was n''t he?"
15591what is the matter?"
15591what''s the matter over there?"
15591you do n''t believe all the nice things you''ve read about me?"
6719''Member him? 6719 ''Spose you does fin''out, what kin you do?
6719About Ella''s coming to you?
6719Admitting that, would you like a man to be a weak echo of yourself?
6719Advise with a slave? 6719 After all,"she thought,"what does it matter?
6719All here?
6719And nothing has passed between him, his daughter, or you since?
6719And what may that be?
6719And who else?
6719And you give me your word that you will keep your temper to the very end?
6719Are brick and mortar more to you than I am?
6719Are you going for the doctor?
6719Are you in trouble?
6719Are you of age?
6719Are you too drunk not to see that I''m strong? 6719 Are you willing to leave the question of compensation open till I can learn what your services are actually worth?"
6719Aunty, ca n''t you realize that I am no longer a child, as he says?
6719Aunty,protested Mara, almost irritably, for her nerves were sadly worn,"what good can such words do?
6719Because of_ your_ need, not Ella''s?
6719But making them may mean a great war?
6719But what was the use of it all? 6719 But you will not promise never to marry her?"
6719By the way,she said at last,"who do you think was there?
6719Ca n''t you lift me up a little?
6719Can we not now part with this clear understanding? 6719 Can you keep up?"
6719Can you not at least respect a man who is as sincere as you are?
6719Captain Bodine,he said, with a little nervous tremor in his voice,"will you be so kind as to grant me a private interview this evening?"
6719Could you imagine for a_ moment_ that your father would permit the attentions of that young Houghton?
6719Cousin Hugh,she said, one day soon after Ella''s encounter with Houghton,"how was it with you when you were a young fellow?
6719Cousin Sophy,said Ella in the afternoon,"has n''t the proper time come for me to make my party call on Mrs. Willoughby?
6719Dar now, Aun''Sheba, wot fei you talk so se''rus in Augst? 6719 De pint am, howsumeber, is n''t de cakes good?"
6719De riber deep an strong, De wabes am bery cole; We see it rush along, But who can venture bole? 6719 Dear papa, have you been watching all night?"
6719Did I not say that was all explained and settled? 6719 Did I?
6719Did he?
6719Did n''t he say anything after that?
6719Do n''t you know me?
6719Do n''t you think we should try to take cousin out?
6719Do you know the reason why I did not, rather could not, write such a letter?
6719Do you know,he almost hissed,"that my boy lies at the bottom of your accursed harbor yonder?"
6719Do you love Captain Bodine?
6719Do you make the cakes?
6719Do you mean to defy her father?
6719Do you mean to say that you will pursue this suit contrary to my wishes?
6719Do you refer to yourself?
6719Do you think this a sufficient excuse for interrupting me at this hour?
6719Do you understand fully whither that way is leading?
6719Do you_ love_ Captain Bodine?
6719Does yer wan''ter bring de perlice? 6719 Done nothing with all your might?"
6719Dus wot''s hon''ble mean dat Missy Mara got ter mar''y Marse Bodine an you de limpsey- slimpsey one wot say you''serted her?
6719Ef you furnish de makin''up ob de''terials what mo''you oughter do, I''d like ter know?
6719Ella, can you have given your love to this alien and almost stranger?
6719Ella, my only child, the hope and solace of my life, can you hesitate?
6719Father,cried the young man,"you are not hurt?"
6719Good Lawd, honey, hab you heerd on any ob you''se folks dyin''?
6719Had a good dinner? 6719 Has he heard?
6719Have I no rights in my own child? 6719 Have I not listened?"
6719Have I not seen the deep solemnity with which my father accepted duty so foreign to his tastes and habits? 6719 Have you spoken to Mr. Houghton of your intentions?"
6719Have you stimulants in the house? 6719 He makes hard bargains with our people when he can, but have you ever heard of his cheating or doing anything underhand?
6719Help you? 6719 Houghton,"called Mr. Willoughby,"wo n''t you enroll me as one of your cooks or waiters?"
6719How dat, missus?
6719How did you shut him up?
6719How do you know that this is true?
6719How do you know there''s nothing bad about him?
6719How do you propose to carry on this suit?
6719How does he look at her?
6719How does your father feel about this?
6719How should you know what kind of a man he is?
6719How so?
6719How soon can I meet your daughter?
6719I am not personally disagreeable to you?
6719I suppose by this time that little gust of passion, inspired by the daughter''s pretty face, has passed?
6719I wonder if she would n''t like to help me?
6719If she herself, then, informs you that it is hopeless, that would end the matter?
6719Is it Mara?
6719Is it as serious as that?
6719Is not this Miss Wallingford?
6719Is running away from me escaping?
6719Is the abstract a refuge?
6719Is your time, then, so completely occupied?
6719Is yours, then, so cold toward me?
6719Law sakes, Massa, wo''t you mean by coachin''me?
6719Law sakes, honey, what all dese?
6719Mara, are you, too, down on me?
6719Mara, dear Mara, you are not hurt?
6719Mara, do n''t you feel well?
6719Mara, you will not fail me?
6719Mara,protested Mrs. Hunter, severely,"do you realize what you are saying?
6719Marse Clancy, what you take me fer?
6719May I not be with you always, Ella?
6719Miss Bodine, do you dare_ think_ for yourself?
6719Mr. Clancy, where are your eyes? 6719 Mr. Houghton, do n''t you think that if we asked them, those colored people would be less loud?
6719Mr. Houghton,she managed to say at last,"will you do me a favor?"
6719Mr. Houghton,she said, timidly approaching,"is there anything we can do for you?
6719Mr. an''Mis Buggone, have you nothin''to say?
6719Now see heah, honey, is your heart set on dis ting?
6719Now why do you come?
6719Now, I appeal to you, Mara-- is this fair, four against one?
6719O God,cried Ella,"will there be no respite?"
6719Of your own free will?
6719Oh, Aun''Sheba, do you truly think they know about my present life?
6719Oh, Captain Bodine, do you think I could deceive you or a girl like Ella under any circumstances? 6719 Oh, what is it?"
6719Oh, why will you come?
6719Oh, you dashed it off hastily, without giving it thought?
6719Oh,she moaned again on her father''s shoulder,"why will he take risks?"
6719Please tell me, have n''t I decided on the right, honorable course-- on what would seem honorable to Captain Bodine and to Ella also?
6719Shall I go home and plant cotton?
6719Shuah now, does you tink it''s dataway?
6719Sir, dear sir, be patient--"Now, Marse Houghton, wot you gwine ter do?
6719Suppose I decline to do this?
6719Suppose you find him utterly opposed to it all?
6719That is your advice, then?
6719Then I may tell him that you will never give your consent-- that what he terms his suit must end at once and forever?
6719Then tell me why I am treated by so many in your set as if I had overrun the South with fire and sword?
6719Was Clancy right after all?
6719Was that he in the parlor?
6719Wat de matter now, Uncle Sheba?
6719We?
6719Well, ai n''t she white folks? 6719 Well, chile, wot you wants ter say?"
6719Well, on that same day-- you know-- he told me that he was a gentleman: can you guess how?
6719Well, then, how can I better recover peace of mind and serenity than by going a- fishing? 6719 Well, what are they?"
6719Well, wo n''t you please approve of it?
6719Well, you wo n''t try to see Ella before you have consulted me?
6719Well,said he,"what part am I to have in this mournful occasion?"
6719Well,she asked, looking down demurely,"what did they mean?"
6719Well?
6719Well?
6719Whar ud his eyes be ef he could see you and not go down on his marrow- bones, I''d like to know? 6719 What action can I take?"
6719What chance have you had to learn her character? 6719 What dat ar got to do wid de pahnaship?"
6719What did you say in reply?
6719What do you mean?
6719What good would that do, Aunty? 6719 What has happened?"
6719What is amusing you so greatly?
6719What is it that Mr. Houghton wishes?
6719What is it?
6719What pressin''business,asked his wife, severely,"hab you got, Unc., dat you in sech a hurry fer de min''ster ter go?
6719What''s the matter with the dog?
6719What''s the matter with them?
6719What''s the use of being brave; what can I be brave for?
6719What''s troubling you, Ella?
6719What?
6719When you are so concretely and distractingly enchanting, what other refuge is there for a man than the abstract?
6719Where is she? 6719 Where?"
6719Who can account for either?
6719Who dat?
6719Who is this from?
6719Who''s that snoring over there?
6719Who''s?
6719Whom does Mr. Clancy suspect?
6719Why are you going away?
6719Why ca n''t they forgive and forget, as far as possible, as you do?
6719Why did n''t you tell me?
6719Why do you fear so greatly?
6719Why do you feel different from so many others, Mara? 6719 Why do you tell me this, papa?"
6719Why not?
6719Why should I conquer when my heart tells me that the one I love is worthy of my love? 6719 Why should you think of the police, Aun''Sheba, unless you have something on your mind?"
6719Why so?
6719Why would n''t he?
6719Why, Aun''Sheba, do you think you have been hiding your light under a bushel basket all this time? 6719 Why, honey, I can''sport you an''Missus widout pinchin'', an''who gwine to know''bout it?"
6719Why, honey, wot you want de time to pass quick fer? 6719 Will you make me one solemn promise?"
6719Will you permit me to be a little more frank than I have been?
6719Will you send in your card, sir?
6719Will you take my advice?
6719Will you tell me if Miss Wallingford--"Marse Clancy, hab Miss Wallingford sent you word dat she want you to know''bout her''fairs?
6719Wot de use ob sawin''wood all day wen de town hot''nuff now to roas''lobsters?
6719Wot else I do, honey lam? 6719 Wot good de''ligion you''fess do you, I''d like ter know?
6719Wot she know''bout it?
6719Wot you want spicin''so fer all''t once, Missy Ella? 6719 Wot''s de matter wid you bofe, honeys?"
6719Wotfer, Aun''Sheba?
6719Would n''t that be better? 6719 Would you have me call her now, shake her awake, and propose?"
6719Would you say that even this furnace- like air can not quicken my blood?
6719Wrong to be glad when God loves you and a good man loves you? 6719 Yes, I suppose she must so remain in her deepest nature,"he replied, sotto voce,"but is there any need for small secrecies?"
6719Yes, I''se a Republican,said Kern,"but wat dat got ter do wid dis matter?
6719You are not married to Bodine?
6719You are thinking only of yourself; why should n''t I do likewise?
6719You certainly will be guided by your father?
6719You find on further thought that you can not forgive me?
6719You have? 6719 You know him?"
6719You mean to tell your father then?
6719You think brain, then, is absolutely essential?'' 6719 You will defy him also, then?"
6719You will give her up then, since it is my wish?
6719You would have killed my son if you had met him?
6719You? 6719 ''Ud dat be hon''ble wen all de time you''se yearnin fer each oder?
6719A man near the bow seized a coil of rope and yelled,"Where are you?"
6719A relative of that double- dyed rebel in my office?"
6719After a brief examination the physician said:"Why did you not come to me before?"
6719After a moment he said abruptly,"You fought through the war, I suppose?"
6719After a second and general flight to the square, the question in all hearts,"What next?"
6719After all, why should I berate him?
6719Ai n''t Vilet in Hebin?
6719Ai n''t de cakes right?"
6719Ai n''t de oder chil''n heah?
6719Ai n''t you got de bes husban bawn?
6719Am I a bat?"
6719Am I made of putty any more than you are, sweetheart?"
6719Am I saying naughty words?
6719Am I to blame if you have inspired many reasons?
6719An''his little Missy is you''se helper?"
6719An''wat can dey say, honey, dat''ll harm you?
6719Approaching Bodine, he asked,"Do you think it will be safe for the invalids to leave the square?"
6719Are Northern young men so intrinsically wise and good that they are not influenced by their traditions and immediate associations?"
6719Are n''t you ashamed to work me up so?
6719Are we to have anything like a general war?
6719Are you, too, going to ostracize me?"
6719As a rebel was there not enough blood on your hands?
6719At last a faint color stole into her cheeks, and she asked:"What did you write, papa?"
6719At the same terrible words which had smitten George, she also cried,"Papa, did you say you would rather bury me?"
6719Aun''Sheba still laughed to herself, and remarked,"Unc., s''pose you try Missy Ella''s cure?"
6719Aun''Sheba, what do you mean?"
6719Back of all her culture and accomplishments there is a woman; yet what kind of a woman?
6719Bodine remained writing quietly until George came and said,"Will you be so kind as to come to the private office?"
6719Bodine''s?"
6719Bodine?"
6719But how can I sympathize with some of your views when God has given me a nature that revolts at them?
6719But how can you be right?
6719But now what can I do?
6719But the past_ is_ past, and the question is now, what is right and wise?
6719But who''s dey dat you got on you min''?"
6719Can I not go down and speak to him at once?
6719Can it be that the North will be so carried away by this abolition fanaticism as to send armies and ships in the vain effort to subjugate us?"
6719Can not I attend to your matter?"
6719Can not I, with the aid of Jube and Sam, get our friends some breakfast?"
6719Can she have married Bodine?"
6719Can we not also agree that we differ conscientiously?
6719Can you believe that they, happy in heaven, can wish you no happiness on earth?"
6719Can you not see that you are passing deeper and deeper into the shadow of the past?
6719Can you say the fifth commandment, chile?"
6719Can you soberly expect to live among such a set of people?
6719Can you spare one of your servants to carry what I can not?"
6719Can you tell me where to find them?"
6719Can you think I would live idly on your hard- earned money?"
6719Can you think I would wish you to shrink or fail-- you who are so strong and brave?
6719Captain Bodine heard the cry, and, having rested himself a little, came to Aun''Sheba and asked,"Do you know where Kern is?"
6719Clancy was astounded, and exclaimed,"Miss Wallingford, can you even contemplate such a thing?"
6719Clancy''s former question in regard to her devotion to the past and the dead,"What goodwill it do?"
6719Could she fail this loved and honored friend, when a wronged Northern boy had counted his life as naught to save him?
6719Could she have recognized him?
6719Could that flushed, beautiful woman be his little Ella?
6719Could they speak would they say,''We wish our sorrows to blight your life''?
6719Den he put it right straight,''Did you make''em?''"
6719Did Miss Ainsley intend to compliment him by suggesting that he was thinking himself into what was sensible?
6719Did he use any angry, disrespectful language toward you?"
6719Did n''t He have compassion on the widow of Nain, and say to her,''Weep not''?
6719Did n''t I comfort you on dis bery bres time an''time agin when you was a little mite?
6719Did n''t I slabe fer her granpar yeahs an''yeahs, an''wat I got ter show fer''t?"
6719Did n''t I tole you?"
6719Did she continue to watch him because of some faint interest?
6719Did you not hear that cry?
6719Did you not say that if he had the trace of a gentleman in his anatomy he would leave you and yours alone?
6719Did you steal them?"
6719Did you think I was going to let you furnish the materials?"
6719Do n''t I know about his heartache?
6719Do n''t you know that the Bible says,''Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these My brethren ye have done it unto Me''?
6719Do n''t you see that all things are working for the best?
6719Do n''t you think so?"
6719Do n''t you think we had better drop the subject for the present?"
6719Do you believe it, Ella?
6719Do you know why?"
6719Do you mean to say that you love her still?"
6719Do you mean to say that your church people have suspended you?"
6719Do you mean to say there is hope?"
6719Do you regard love as a blind ditch?"
6719Do you see this book?"
6719Do you suppose your daughter is made of different flesh and blood?
6719Do you think I can be content to live in idleness on her slender means?
6719Do you think I can forget that my father was trampled into the very earth by your Northern friends with whom you must fraternize as well as trade?
6719Do you think I would come here for slight cause at such cost to us both?"
6719Do you think I''ve forgotten anything since you carried Mrs. Bodine out of her tottering house?"
6719Do you think that I can forget that my grandfather was mangled to death, and that his last words were,''I was only trying to defend my home''?
6719Do you understand, Aun''Sheba?"
6719Do you wish to break down also?"
6719Doan de Bible say de angels gwine ter tote us?"
6719Does he consider it an insult to be told he is a gentleman?
6719Does papa love him or his son?
6719Ef she set her heart on helpin''her ole Missus an''young Missy an''arn de money herself, whose business is it but hers?
6719George caressed the dog, and said:"What''s up, old fellow?"
6719Habn''t I seen all de quality ob dis town?
6719Had he the penetration to learn the truth?
6719Had she not made it sufficiently plain that he had no right to take, or, at least, to manifest any such interest in her affairs?
6719Had we not better change the subject?"
6719Have I been ill?"
6719Have I failed in business, or been crossed in love?"
6719Have I made sufficient apology?"
6719Have I not seen it given to the old and feeble before?
6719Have n''t I got a little gray, too?"
6719Have you any reason to think that Ella feels in any such way as you do?"
6719Have you not said to your boy as cruel things as Captain Bodine has said?
6719He led her into deeper and shadier seclusion as he asked,"Do you think I''ll hesitate because you have a heart in your bosom instead of a stone?
6719He longed to see her again, yet how could he see her except in the presence of others?
6719He saved you, why could n''t you do something to save him?"
6719He was at her side instantly, and, taking her hand, asked gently,"What troubles you, my child?"
6719He was introduced to me just as the others were, and what do I care for him?
6719Heah it foam an''roar, de dark flood tide, How shel we cross to de oder side?
6719Her father noted this, and asked himself,"Could she have known of his purpose?"
6719Houghton?"
6719Houghton?"
6719Houghton?"
6719How are we going to keep a roof over our own heads?"
6719How are you worse off than I, who have lost husband, sons, all?
6719How can I escape the consequences of my own acts?
6719How can I''shake off and avoid''in this back parlor?
6719How could I appear otherwise to Miss Bodine if I should withdraw, like a growling bear into winter quarters, there to hibernate indefinitely?
6719How could I do without you now?"
6719How could I look Mara in the face again if I made no effort in her behalf?
6719How could my love be so sacred and heavenly if it were wrong?
6719How could she make sport of a man who had coupled her name with that of his dead mother?
6719How did you escape?"
6719How is it that he is in the old gentleman''s employ, I wonder?
6719How late is it?"
6719How long must my probation last before I can come back for more advice?"
6719How long will this fancy last?
6719How many are there now, do you suppose?"
6719How old is Ella?"
6719How shall we get through the night if this keeps up?
6719How you forgit when I tell you ober an''ober?
6719Hunter?"
6719I can see a tall man leap into a sinking boat and-- and-- oh, why did you sink with it?
6719I have a friend, Mrs. Willoughby-- do you know her?"
6719I merely come to ask if you have employment for a tolerably rapid, accurate penman?"
6719I now only wish to ask if you said in effect, while North, that if the South should again engage in a struggle for freedom you would not help?"
6719I say,''Hab Miss Wallingford sen''you word dat she want you to know''bout her''fairs''?"
6719I think the fellows did splendidly, if they were Yankees, yet what else could we expect since their commander was a Southern man?
6719I wonder if she will feel as I do about it?"
6719I-- I-- well, can I venture to make my former request?
6719If George should go away without seeing her, without a word or a line, what must she think?
6719If armed robbers broke into your house, and you gave blows as well as received them, would you not be murdered if it so happened that you were killed?
6719If love is sweet to papa at his age think what it is to me?"
6719If you only knew how good and noble and lovely she is--""Who is she?
6719Illustration:"Well Chile, Wot You Wants Ter Say?"]
6719In her brusque way she said to herself,"What''s the use of trying?
6719In spite of her unworldliness and lack of practical training, the strong common- sense of Clancy''s question would recur,"What good will it do?"
6719Is Aun''Sheba gwine ter take any ob your money?
6719Is George ill?"
6719Is he a relative?"
6719Is he very ill?"
6719Is it dataway?"
6719Is it the difference in women which inevitably inspires different thought and action?
6719Is it wrong to be glad at such a time?"
6719Is n''t it wiser for me to get money out of Mr. Houghton than to sulk and starve?
6719Is n''t that the conventional phrase?
6719Is n''t this the right, honorable course?"
6719It was not long after that before Kern mustered courage to ask"Miss Buggone, mout I hab de pleasure ob''companyin''you home?"
6719Kin little feet touch groun''Whar mountain billows sweep?
6719Law sakes, what kin''ob blood dat man Clancy hab to lebe you kase you po''?
6719Laying her down beside Mrs. Bodine he began in distressed perplexity,"What shall we do now?
6719Long as he''habe himself, wot dat agin him?"
6719Man overboard?"
6719Mara looked steadfastly at her aunt until the worthy lady was somewhat disconcerted, and asked fretfully,"What do you mean by that look, Mara?"
6719Mara''s overwhelming distress ceased its expression at this new horror as she gasped,"Can she be dead?"
6719Mara, am I to see you and speak to you no more?"
6719More than once she murmured,"How can I be hostile to him?
6719Mrs. Robertson was so preoccupied at the moment that she did not witness this brief, subtile exchange of-- what?
6719Must I go on, hiding this bitter secret?
6719My dear child,"turning to Mara,"do you think I would take half your crust when I know you need the whole of it?
6719My heart is broken, and do you think I can bother with you?''
6719Now how you gwine to be plump and strong?"
6719Oh, Mara!--""Whom shall I advise with then?"
6719Oh, Mara, darling, how can I ever thank you enough?"
6719Oh, is n''t this fun?"
6719Oh, oh, was not my life hard enough before?
6719Oh, what is there for me to look forward to?
6719Or had his own course which she felt was separating them some part in her distress?
6719Reckon de wah am ober, an''what we gwine ter do wid de Lawd''s prar?
6719Remembering, therefore, her husband''s headlong courage, what assurance of his safety could she have although victory followed victory?
6719S''pose I want ter lose my boat an''my life?
6719Saved my life as well as yours and Cousin Hugh''s?"
6719Scarcely able, yet compelled to believe the truth, she asked herself all the long night,"How can I bear this new trouble?"
6719See here, sweetheart, what did God give me eyes for?
6719She soon asked falteringly,"Mr. Wallingford, do you think-- will the conditions become more even, as you suggested?
6719Since these people had no controversy with him, how could he continue to cherish enmity and prejudice against them?
6719So soon?
6719So you see whither affairs are tending?"
6719Suppose some bold Southerner should forestall him?
6719Surmising the truth at once, he hastened to his father''s room, and asked almost sternly:"Where is Captain Bodine?"
6719The only question between us is,''Will you buy my labor as you would any other commodity in the Charleston market?''"
6719The question is, will Mr. Clancy feel obliged to follow her eventually?"
6719The veteran looked at him coldly as he asked,"May I inquire, sir, your object in seeking this interview?"
6719Then he added,"You''ll forgive me and be my own dear daughter?"
6719Then he asked a moment or two later,"Why do you take me out at the side door?"
6719Then in sudden revulsion of feeling she added,"You po''honey lam'', doan you see you''se got to take keer ob her jes''as ef she was a chile?"
6719Then she stole up behind Ella, and, putting her arm around her neck, looked into her eyes as she asked,"Would n''t you like to help me?"
6719There was another long silence, and then Mr. floughton said,"But you will control your action?"
6719This is an earthquake, is n''t it?"
6719To see through some one else''s eyes?
6719Vilet, ai n''t your grandma a good Christian woman?"
6719Vilet, roused at her grandmother''s voice, looked around, and then asked in her plaintive voice,"Whar''s daddy?"
6719Was he faint- hearted in wooing Ella?
6719Was it because he charged her with disloyalty to her kindred?
6719Was loving her a crime?
6719Was not Nature so out of joint that nothing familiar could be looked for any more?
6719Was she laughing or crying?
6719Was she utterly estranged, and was the secret of her coldness due to the truth that he had never had any real hold upon her heart?
6719We have been friends, have we not?"
6719We''se gwine right along, honey, ai n''t we?
6719We''se gwine ter min''our own business jes''as if we''se the bigges''pahners in de town?"
6719Well, Ella, how did you set about ostracizing young Houghton?"
6719Wen a member backslide so he do notin''but eat an''sleep, oughtener he be sot on?"
6719Were all her efforts futile to hide her love?
6719Were those subject races ready to take the hands that had struck them and still held them in thraldom?
6719Whar you git you sperit fum?
6719What are we to do?
6719What are you going to do with him?"
6719What are you up for?"
6719What could I tell them?
6719What could she know about my motives and feelings?
6719What did he give me a brain for?
6719What did he say, and what did you say, word for word?
6719What did it mean?
6719What did this late summons portend?
6719What earthly good can ever result from this cherished bitterness and enmity?
6719What else in God''s universe could I dread more than harm to you?
6719What good can it do them?
6719What had he or I to do with the war, I''d like to know?
6719What harm has that young fellow ever done any of us?"
6719What if I did?
6719What if the very act should lead to the belief that she no longer wished to have any part in his life?
6719What is her name?"
6719What is his mysterious power which I can not eradicate?
6719What is the matter to- day?"
6719What is the use of living?"
6719What is there for us all but to be Americans?
6719What is thought of a man who throws away everything for a pretty face?"
6719What other peril can he be exposed to except that of marrying a beauty and an heiress?
6719What put it into your mind?"
6719What test?"
6719What was the use of it all?"
6719What will be left of our past if the best and bravest of our number strike hands with these vampires of the North?"
6719What would you like to talk about?"
6719What''casion I got to pervide for dey?"
6719What''s the harm in thinking about him in my jolly way?
6719What''s troubling you?
6719When can you come?"
6719When have her sympathies been touched in behalf of any one or any cause?
6719When shall I sleep again?"
6719When the physician returned Mr. Houghton roused a little, and asked,"What is the matter?
6719When you spoke I stalked away like a sulky boy, muttering,''Why should n''t I be a gentleman?''
6719Where is your father?"
6719Who better than I?
6719Who could come to her aid?
6719Who else you tell your troubles to but Aun''Sheba?
6719Who has given up the more?
6719Who in God''s universe would forbid you a loyal friend?"
6719Who knows but that your early days may be your darkest days?
6719Who you talkin''''bout?"
6719Why ca n''t people let bygones be bygones?
6719Why ca n''t you get some one ter he''p you an''den we go along swimmin''?"
6719Why could not Owen Clancy have earned his own bread and mine by taking the course of this brave Southern man?
6719Why did every nerve in my body tingle?
6719Why did n''t you go?"
6719Why do n''t dey kill us too, like dey did all our folks?''
6719Why doan you cry an''groan, an''hab a big conwiction?
6719Why don''you took ter some sittin''wuck like fishin''in de harbor?
6719Why had she concealed the fact?
6719Why not let the matter drop where it is?"
6719Why should I hate that big, good- natured fellow?
6719Why should I not wish to please you, to become your friend?
6719Why should I tie the millstone of the past about my neck?"
6719Why should a presentiment of danger to him weigh down my spirit to- night?
6719Why should he talk of love when he will not see what is so reasonable in the action of another?"
6719Why should not a man and woman entertain each other without compliments, conventionalities and sentimentalities?"
6719Why should old Houghton''s son be hovering around us like a hawk, I''d like to know?"
6719Why should we speak of these subjects further?"
6719Why will she be so proud and obdurate?
6719Will the chief baker escort me to the dining- room?"
6719Will you be fair enough to listen to me?
6719Will you come with me?
6719Will you deal?"
6719Will you sit down?"
6719Will you trust me, and let me do my very best to save you?"
6719Willoughby''s?"
6719Willoughby?"
6719Willoughby?"
6719With a dread greater than that inspired by the earthquake he thought:"Is it too late?
6719With a sort of inward rage and wonder, she asked herself:"Why did my heart flutter so?
6719Wo n''t you let me take your head into my lap?
6719Wo n''t you please let me go now?
6719Won''you let me go?
6719Wot de Scripter say?
6719Wot we do widout dem, an''wat dey do widout us?
6719Wot you an Marse Bodine gwine ter do''bout sich lub as dat?
6719Would n''t he dance a jig if he knew?
6719Would n''t you like to help me all the time and earn money in this way?"
6719Would the sun ever rise again?
6719Would they doom you to the life upon which you are entering?
6719Would you like to hear more about him?"
6719Would you mind lending me an overcoat or some wrap?"
6719Yet how can I warn her-- how can I reach her except I write?
6719Yet how could I suspect this Clancy, whom she so repelled and contemned, and who was devoting himself to another woman?
6719Yet she asked herself again and again,"What else is there for me?"
6719Yet what could I do if she were?
6719Yet what could she and her aunt do?
6719You dear, melancholy little goose, do n''t you know that God never rolls two people into one, even after they are married?
6719You gwine ter buy back de big house fer dem?"
6719You hab no dinner yit?"
6719You s''pose I watch ober dat broken- hearted lam''an''her little chile an''den heah''em called white folks, as if dey''se no''count ter me?
6719You see?"
6719You tink you kin be in trouble an''I ai n''t dar?
6719You understan'', Vilet?"
6719You vote fer him, an''hurrah fer him, an''whar''s yer promise''lan''?
6719You--""Has she been making love to you then?"
6719Your father has--""Mr. Houghton, is it not time for Mr. Clancy''s medicine?"
6719dar an a man like Kern?
6719de plantation in Virginny all gone?"
6719fighting this hopeless and seemingly endless fight?
6719have you been corresponding with them, and all that?"
6719how shall I behave?"
6719how was it with me when I was a girl?
6719is de ole missus dun gone?"
6719is it you?
6719she cried, with misgivings of trouble,"are you not well?"
6719she groaned inwardly,"what can I do?
6719she thought,"what can I do if he sees me?
6719thousands against seventy?
6719to think with the brain of another?
6719was n''t she perfectly enchanting yesterday?
6719what happen?"
6719what in hell had he to do with it?"
6719what was I going to say?
6719what would she do without you?
6719what''s dat?"
6719who was that awful- looking man?"
6719why ca n''t I be happy, too?"
6719why do you think about such people at all?"
6719you ai n''t a spook, Marse George?"
12596A black fellow with red on his coat- tails, and a sash like a general''s? 12596 About what?"
12596Ai n''t it movin''?
12596Ai n''t you lonesome?
12596Ai n''t you, suh? 12596 An''--an''then?"
12596And I-- am I nothing to you Anne? 12596 And do you always expect to be-- lucky?"
12596And has it been so merry, Gracie?
12596And how does she manage now?
12596And if she questions further, Monsieur?
12596And may I ask who you are, and why and how you come flying out of the nowhere into the here of these forsaken woods?
12596And now,she asked,"would you mind telling me something more about that butterfly of yours?
12596And that nice, amusing old colored woman who kept house for you-- what became of her?
12596And that,said Peter,"altogether depends upon you, does n''t it?
12596And when you have decided, you will let me know?
12596And where is your mother''s house?
12596And why?
12596And you think a girl like Anne will be willing to play patient Griselda?
12596And you think this insane marriage is likely to come out all right in the end, too?
12596And-- would a hundred dollars soothe your feelings?
12596Anne,said he, directly,"what are you going to do about Peter Champneys?"
12596Are n''t_ you_ happy?
12596Are you afraid, dear?
12596Are you demented?
12596Are you,said a pleasant voice,"by good fortune, Peter Champneys?"
12596Because, if you could be happy with me, why should n''t you be?
12596Berkeley,said she, changing her light tone,"am I to understand that you are-- really in earnest?"
12596But how can I ever trust him again? 12596 But how could you manage it?"
12596But how in heaven''s name can I study if I''m plagued with a wife?
12596But if she does n''t know me, why on earth should she wish to see me,--at such a time?
12596But if you got a real heir, where do I come in?
12596But they were real husbands and wives, were n''t they?
12596But why?
12596But_ why_? 12596 Can I go to the movies?"
12596Did you_ never_ love her?
12596Do n''t the people here know you must n''t go off like that, by yourself? 12596 Do you fancy you might be able to love him,--later?"
12596Do you want us to bury-- it?
12596Does that make you afraid?
12596Eh? 12596 Emma, where you- all goin''?"
12596Emma? 12596 Fit in the war, did n''t ye?"
12596For you?
12596Goin'', hey? 12596 Goin''?
12596Got jolly well licked, did n''t you?
12596Grandma Baker, were_ you_ very much in love?
12596He?--Who?
12596Her name? 12596 Her?"
12596Housework? 12596 How long?"
12596How old is he?
12596How you know this feller''s Milly Champneys''s husband?
12596I ain''t-- I mean, I do n''t have to see him nor talk to him before, do I?
12596I am to understand, then, that you agree?
12596I ask you, as man to man: Is it our fault?
12596I axes you once mo'', Jake: whut you been doin''?
12596I ca n''t even pick out my own clothes?
12596I can talk wid my cat, ca n''t I?
12596I hope I did n''t startle you? 12596 I hope,"said he, stiffly,"that you have no just cause to disbelieve me, Nancy?
12596I lie still and dream how great you will become, how much beloved-- for who could fail to love you, Pierre? 12596 I s''pose,"said the woman, with elaborate courtesy,"we kin come in our own parler, Miss Simms?
12596I was wondering if you were ever lonely?
12596I we- ent out een de wilderness, En I fell upon-- mah-- knees, En I called upon-- mah-- Savior, Whut sh- all I do-- for-- save? 12596 I wonder if you''d mind if I just sort of stayed around so I could look after-- I mean, so I could watch you painting?
12596If you were free, would you marry me? 12596 In the meantime, may I ask you for a bite?
12596In_ love_? 12596 Is I?
12596Is de gal done daid?
12596Is he as ugly as me?
12596Is it-- soon?
12596Is that his real name?
12596Is the lady he''s married to as nice as him? 12596 Is there-- anything else I can do for you, Gracie?
12596Is what I hear true, that you''re going away from Riverton? 12596 Is what you got to say worth me tellin''her to set them plates herself?"
12596Is you?
12596It is not well with her?
12596It never bothered you again, Daddy Nep?
12596It''s took you a long time to find your way, ai n''t it?
12596Jason,she said to her husband, some time later,"what would you think if I should tell you I wished to take Anne Champneys abroad with me?"
12596John, do you think it''s a--"Petticoat? 12596 Look like?
12596Marcia thinks I should marry Berkeley, immediately, and let him take me away, but--"But you are n''t ready to rush into matrimony just yet?
12596Marry? 12596 May I look at it, please?"
12596Me? 12596 Me?
12596Meanin''?
12596Miss Spring,said Peter, anxiously, as they reached the porch of Lynwood,"Miss Spring, do you expect to go about these woods much-- by yourself?"
12596Mistuh,said Emma to the chauffeur,"is you- all got any fambly dependin''on you?"
12596Mr. Champneys,stammered Glenn, painfully,"surely you know I did n''t understand-- don''t you?
12596Nancy, is this thing true?
12596Nancy, you care?
12596No? 12596 Now, ai n''t it always so?
12596Oh, you are, are you, Miss Simms? 12596 Peter, Peter, do n''t you understand?"
12596Peter, are n''t you rather leaving the Red Admiral out of your calculations?
12596Peter, do you really wish to go abroad and study? 12596 Peter,"said he, after a pause,"allow me to ask you a single question: do you propose to go through life toting old niggers and black cats?"
12596Say, you look here-- I done what you told me to do, did n''t I? 12596 Shall you use oils, or do you prefer chalks, or water- colors?"
12596Should you prefer our Miss Smith to proffer aid and advice? 12596 So?"
12596So?
12596Soon? 12596 That''s something like three hundred dollars, is n''t it?"
12596The arrangement does not suit you?
12596The florist''s? 12596 Then I-- I mean, things are just to go along, the same as they have been?"
12596Then you do n''t want Mr. Peter Champneys and me ever to be divorced? 12596 They are not kind to you?"
12596Threatenin''me, hey? 12596 Uncle,"said Peter, deprecatingly,"you''ll understand-- I''m a little interested-- excuse me for asking you-- but what does the young lady look like?"
12596Very dear one, suppose_ I_ had been called upon to let_ thee_ go: how could I have endured that?
12596Want to get away from Riverton, do n''t you? 12596 Was you wishin''to find out somethin''about him or Aunt Milly?
12596Well, Peter, what can I do for_ you_ this mawnin''?
12596Well, and why not?
12596Well, but ai n''t she?
12596Well, then, who?
12596Well, what do you think of it?
12596Well, why could n''t you say who he was at first, an''have done with it?
12596Well?
12596What about my weddin''-dress?
12596What are you thinking, when you look at me like that?
12596What can I say?
12596What difference does that make? 12596 What do I care where you go?
12596What else can I do but agree?
12596What in hell did that big nigger shoot him for, anyhow?
12596What is it you wish me to do?
12596What on earth is the matter with the boy?
12596What sort of a feller is he? 12596 What we got to do now?
12596What would you advise me to do?
12596What would you like to do?
12596What you goin''to do when you get there?
12596What''s he look like in the face?
12596What''s that you''re sayin'', Briggs? 12596 What''s the use?
12596What''s the whole truth, Nephew? 12596 What''s wrong with my clothes?"
12596What_ do_ you want, then?
12596When you''speck to go?
12596When?
12596Where? 12596 Where?"
12596White satin, my dear? 12596 Who else?
12596Who knows what Anne knows? 12596 Who tol''you dey wuz ours?"
12596Who''s to prove it?
12596Who, us? 12596 Whut dey atter somebuddy_ for_?"
12596Whut you been doin''?
12596Whut you do hit for?
12596Why are you so bent on him an''me marryin''? 12596 Why did you do it?"
12596Why not now?
12596Why on earth should he have anything the matter with him?
12596Why should I regret it?
12596Why should it? 12596 Why, then, do you not have this abominable marriage annulled?"
12596Why?
12596Why?
12596Will ten dollars be enough for you?
12596With me? 12596 Yes, Uncle Chadwick?"
12596Yes?
12596You agree?
12596You are sure?
12596You are very, very sure, Anne?
12596You care?
12596You have had-- a disappointment? 12596 You knew I would be here?"
12596You mean if she wo n''t come? 12596 You mean you know my name is really Peter Champneys, dearest?"
12596You mean-- to go away from here-- to study? 12596 You see?"
12596You stood by me when I had n''t any money; why should you leave me the minute I get it? 12596 You was n''t so awful anxious to find out nothin''about her kith an''kin, was you?
12596You wish me to go?
12596You wish, then, to leave your aunt?
12596You''ll go?
12596You''re aimin''to give us both a whole lot, ai n''t you? 12596 You_ are_ real, ai n''t you?"
12596Your butterfly? 12596 Your progeny will probably resemble herons, Champneys, and serve''em right!--Are those_ new_ gloves?
12596_ Whut for_?
12596_ You_?
12596--What_ do_ I hear, Anne?
12596After a moment she said gravely:"You came?"
12596After a pause she asked, in a subdued voice:"You expect to stay in this town long?"
12596Agata''s"Si?"
12596Ah, darling, why not let everything go and marry me at once?"
12596Ah, why not, indeed?
12596Ai n''t it hard enough as it is, without me havin''to feel more horrid than what I do already?
12596Ai n''t it somethin''fierce, though?"
12596All that glittering life Anne Champneys had planned for herself?
12596An old professor, an antiquarian, an archæologist?
12596And Marcia, when he ventured to speak to her about the matter, said cryptically:"Why worry?
12596And a veil?"
12596And after a moment, studying the old man''s face:"He''s rather a remarkable old man, is n''t he?"
12596And after a pause she asked:"Who was-- the keeper of his prison?"
12596And after a pause, he asked, as one putting himself to the test:"Miss Anne-- Nancy-- do you think you could be happy-- with_ me_?"
12596And had n''t Mr. Champneys acknowledged the relationship existing between them, slight and distant though it was?
12596And she asked eagerly:"Do you like it?"
12596And she asked seriously:"What do the people who love you most call you when they speak to you?"
12596And she asked:"What else you know about her?"
12596And then he asked, smilingly:"And you-- what do_ you_ want to be?"
12596And then she asked herself: Well, but could n''t one, anywhere, in any circumstances, make life real for oneself, meet facts unafraid?
12596And then?
12596And to himself he was saying, defiantly:"Well, what else could I expect?
12596And what''s the matter with_ me_?"
12596And when hungry Peter thrust his fork into a tempting piece,"You know who you eatin''?"
12596And where some more of the good luck comes in?"
12596And who wants your old strip of sand and cockspurs?
12596And you have n''t got the money?"
12596And you stay, do n''t you?"
12596Anywhere I went I''d have to go with_ me_, would n''t I?
12596Are n''t you afraid you''ll let the cat out of the bag?"
12596Are you tired of Italy?"
12596Art?
12596As for that, had n''t Chadwick Champneys himself once been as poor as Job''s turkeys?
12596Been decorated several times, had n''t he?
12596Boy, is you evuh hear tell o''Mistuh Abe Linkum?
12596But I-- well, I''d like to know you was livin''in the same town, see?"
12596But are you sure you really want to go along, Emma?
12596But between now and then, what you want I should do?"
12596But how would Jason consider such a move?
12596But suppose a spring thaw should set in-- what then?
12596But that costs money?
12596But wherein was she so unusual?
12596But would you mind telling me just_ why_ you want to come with me-- aside from the painting?"
12596By what name, then, shall the one who loves you most call you?"
12596Ca n''t you stand a lady somethin''to eat an''maybe somethin''to drink?"
12596Care?
12596Champneys?"
12596Champneys?"
12596Clothes made for me especial?
12596Could Mr. Vandervelde give any information?
12596Could n''t they understand he did n''t want to talk?
12596Did n''t he want to see it?
12596Did n''t they understand that those who had really seen, those who knew, were n''t doing any talking?
12596Do you follow me?"
12596Do you not recognize me?
12596Do you remember that place you found, in Maine, I think?
12596Do you understand that?"
12596Do you want to be what you say you want to be hard enough to be willing to pay the price for it?"
12596Do you want to go directly home?"
12596Does it make you as happy because I love you as it makes me because you love me?"
12596Get at the truths, somehow?
12596Goin''where?"
12596Going to be an artist, was he?
12596Had he really returned to New York?
12596Had n''t he paid too high a price, after all?
12596Had n''t he the-- proper sense of what this devil had done?
12596Had she found happiness for herself?
12596Had she no heart, as the Italian lamented?
12596Half an hour?
12596Has n''t he relatives in Charleston?
12596Has you resigned your job that you got ta pick out the parler to set in whilst I''m doin''your work for you?"
12596Have I been unkind to you?"
12596Have you got anything I can see?"
12596Have you the remotest idea_ who_ I am?
12596He ai n''t got nothin''the matter with him, has he?"
12596He asked again:"But what am I to do?"
12596He asked fiercely:"You loved him, once?"
12596He asked gently:"What is it you are so afraid of, Gracie?
12596He asked unexpectedly:"Would you like to go away for a while?
12596He did n''t know whether or not she was Mr. Champney''s sole heir, and he did n''t care: what difference could that make?
12596He had married her for the same reason she had married him, had n''t he?
12596He mumbled:"Is you got any w''isky, Da''Nepshun?
12596He said aloud, cheerfully,"Well, why not?"
12596He was an_ orphan_?
12596He was as well born as any Champneys, was n''t he?
12596He''d tell you he''d been lonely all day, and would you, if you had n''t done so already, kindly come and dine with him?
12596His family approved?
12596How I gwine stan''by my alonese''f now?
12596How could Glenn, who had seemed to love her so greatly, turn against her so instantly?
12596How did he learn that the great last lover was wooing her away?
12596How else, he asked himself, was he to make her understand?
12596How soon can you be ready?"
12596How soon can you get six dozen bride roses up here, to Mr. Vandervelde''s office?
12596How''d you like it yourself?"
12596How''s_ he_ qualifyin''?
12596How, he asked himself desperately, was one to make a dent in her appalling ignorance?
12596I ai n''t no more nor no less a lady than I was before I done it, am I?
12596I got a swell suit- case, did n''t I?
12596I got the right to ask why, then, ai n''t I?
12596I know it, because on Tuesday last something happened to put me in mind of it-- or was it Wednesday, maybe?
12596I need a muzzle, do I?
12596I''m afraid these things of yours look too much like real things to satisfy folks it''s real art.--You sure the Lord meant you to be an artist?"
12596I''m crazy about you, do n''t you know that?
12596I?
12596If I''ve got two, and they do n''t want to part with me, why should they have to?"
12596If one should ask him,"What''s the shape of the milkweed butterfly''s wing, and the color of the spice- bush swallowtail, Peter Champneys?
12596If she did n''t look out for herself, who would?
12596If you do n''t feel equal to learning how to run a million- dollar patent- medicine plant, what_ do_ you feel you''d be good at, hey?"
12596Is he so much I''m nothin''?
12596Is it partic''ler?"
12596Is it possible you do not know?"
12596Is n''t there something you''d like?"
12596Is n''t there something you''d like?"
12596Is that perfectly clear to you?"
12596It is an instinct with him to conceal the truth-- any truth-- from white men; who knows to what use they will put it and him?
12596It was only fair now that Chadwick Champneys''s wishes should come in for at least a little attention, was n''t it?
12596It''s a picture, ai n''t it?
12596Jason, have you ever seen anything to equal her team- work?
12596Just exactly how does the affair stand?"
12596Just remain her guide, philosopher, and friend, ca n''t you?"
12596Lawd''a''mussy, ai n''t I wiped''is nose en dusted''is britches sense he bawn?
12596Like it?
12596Look at these beastly breeches of yours, will you?
12596Look here a minute, will you?"
12596Look here, confound it!--""Who gwine look after''i m?
12596Lynwood was some three miles from the River Swamp, and shall a gentleman allow a lady to lug her belongings that distance?
12596May I?
12596Milly''s niece will be safe in your keeping.--Well?"
12596Minding children?
12596Money?
12596Nancy, why did you do such a thing-- to_ me_?"
12596Neither could he ignore the stern question: what was he going to do with the Champneys wealth?
12596No kids to mind, neither day nor night?"
12596No?
12596Not crazy, nor a dope, nor nothin''?"
12596Not hand- me- downs an''left- overs?
12596Now, do you see?"
12596Oh, was she so fair in his eyes?
12596Oh, where was the sheriff?
12596Old clothes?
12596One Sunday afternoon he said to Emma Campbell, seriously:"You''ve never laid eyes on a goddess, Emma, have you?
12596Opposition?
12596Or a nymph?
12596Or had he really told him anything?
12596Or was it?
12596Or, are you just a softy fool that a girl that picks him up in the streets can trim?
12596Peter Champneys?
12596Peter was tormented, confronted by the inexorable question:"What am_ I_ going to do about it?"
12596Position?
12596Presently he ventured to ask her, timidly:"Shall I go for somebody, Mother?"
12596Riley,''can I?
12596Say, tell me: if you''re real, are you the sort of guy that''d give twenty- five dollars, for nothin'', to a girl he picked up in the street?
12596She had n''t asked him to make his nephew marry her, had she?
12596She learned the equivalents for a few phrases of her own,--"I hongry,""How much?"
12596She looked up with a tremulous smile:"My godfather''s order, Henri?"
12596She made no further attempt to explain or to exculpate herself; what was the use?
12596She said, after a pause:"Does Anne know?"
12596She wanted-- well, what did she want, anyhow?
12596She would howl piercingly:"Befo''dis time anothuh yeah, I ma- ay be gone, Een some ole lone- some graveyahd, O Lawd, ho- ow long?"
12596Should he tell them about her?
12596Should you like to look over it now?
12596Should you say sixty guineas would be a fair price for this?"
12596Suppose he died: what of her?
12596Suppose he recovered: what then?
12596Suppose one waited?
12596Surely she is n''t going to allow herself to be bound by that old lunatic''s will, is she?"
12596That droll young man was then amusing himself by living in the Quartier?
12596That is her relationship to your mother and to my wife, I believe?"
12596That is why I must ask you: What are you going to do about Peter Champneys?"
12596The Champneys money?
12596Then a thick voice spoke, muffled by the intervening door:"Daddy Nepshun, is you awake?
12596Then why should he think himself a whit better than she was?
12596There may be some young fellow you think you fancy?
12596There was an ignorant and undisciplined boy--""You?"
12596There was an ignorant and undisciplined young girl--""You?"
12596There were times when he asked himself,''Why do n''t I blow out my brains and escape?''
12596There''s a whole world to travel in, is n''t there?
12596Threatenin''a father of a family, are you?"
12596To begin with, do you like living with your mother''s step- sister?
12596To see real pictures-- and be a student under a real teacher?"
12596To travel?"
12596Very well, then: did not that suffice?
12596Was Neptune like all other-- niggers?
12596Was he not himself?
12596Was her apparent utter unconsciousness of the effect she produced a superfine art?
12596Was it true that the American painter was very wealthy?
12596Was n''t a steam- piano perfectly grand?
12596Was n''t he born in South Carolina?
12596Was n''t it hers?
12596Was n''t it possible Peter might fall in love with somebody, and divorce her?
12596Was n''t it wiser to take what life offered, drain the cup, and let come what might?
12596Was n''t matrimony rather a small price to pay for it?
12596Was n''t she happy?
12596Was she to accept as final that contract which would make her the unloved wife of an unloved husband?
12596Was she unthinkably simple and natural, or was she immeasurably deep?
12596Was there some reason?
12596Was this the chance his mother had said would come?
12596We''re both of us a mighty nice pair, ai n''t we?
12596Well, but suppose she defied him?
12596Whah is You dis night?
12596Whah is You?"
12596What are we coming to?
12596What are you thinking of?"
12596What did she feel?
12596What did she think he was, anyhow?
12596What did she think?
12596What do I do for what I get?"
12596What do you say?"
12596What does the humming- bird''s nest look like?
12596What else should it be?"
12596What had Mr. Champneys told him?
12596What harm was she doing in letting Glenn love her?
12596What in creation you mean, gassin''this hour o''day when them biscuits is burnin''up in the oven?
12596What more you want?"
12596What must be done for her?
12596What of me, Anne?"
12596What the hell do I care what you do with it?"
12596What the mischief was happening up there in Maine, anyhow?
12596What was Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba?
12596What was his latest picture?
12596What was the use of anything?
12596What was you wantin''to see me about, Mister?"
12596What were his present and future plans?
12596What you askin''_ him_ to do to please_ me_?
12596What you doin''?"
12596What you pickin''on me for, then?
12596What you really mean I''m to do?"
12596What''s been doin''here?"
12596What''s come over the girl?
12596What''s that?"
12596What''s the color of the rainbow- snake and of the cotton- mouth moccasin?
12596What''s the difference between the ironweed and the aster?"
12596What''s the use of waiting all our lives, maybe, when we love each other?
12596What, the cat, too?"
12596What, then, should she do?
12596What_ is_ one to do for these Gracies?
12596When Jake had gulped this down, Neptune asked again, inexorably:"Whut you been doin'', Jake?"
12596When was it he first noticed that for all his love and care he was n''t going to be able to keep Denise?
12596When will you marry me, Nancy?"
12596When, Beloved Lady?"
12596Where do they come in, these dispossessed dark sons of the Father?
12596Where you goin''to when you go?"
12596Where''s that place, Jason?
12596Where''s the nigger in the woodpile?
12596Who cared for her love?
12596Who ever heard the beat?
12596Who shall say that the Admiral was n''t a fairy?
12596Who to?
12596Who with, for Gawdsake?
12596Who you''speck ought to look after Miss Maria''s chile,''ceptin''ole Emma Campbell?
12596Who''d have the effrontery to look down on one of the Mitchells of Mitchellsville, South Carolina?
12596Who''s goin''?
12596Who, me?
12596Whut you been up to, Jake?"
12596Whut_ you_ care?
12596Why any of us, anyhow?
12596Why ca n''t you suggest something, and help out a woman old enough to be your mother?"
12596Why did n''t the sheriff come?
12596Why do n''t you say when, Nancy?"
12596Why not announce it formally, and have the marriage follow immediately?
12596Why not go to a little place he knew, a quiet and very beautiful place on the Maine coast?
12596Why not snatch her chance of happiness, even though it should be brief?
12596Why not?
12596Why should he stand aside and let her go, for such a shadow as that ceremony had been?
12596Why should it?
12596Why should n''t he and Anne?
12596Why should n''t that family be the Champneyses?
12596Why should n''t the Champneyses be restored to their old place, put where they rightfully belong?
12596Why should n''t this?"
12596Why should she go, and leave the road clear for Peter Champneys?
12596Why should they waste time?
12596Why?"
12596Will you come?"
12596Will you?"
12596With no relations save that old uncle whose heir he was?
12596Would he go and look at it with her?
12596Would she explain as concisely as possible just why and for whom she had come?
12596Would there be just a calm brook flowing underneath placid willows, or a tempestuous torrent sweeping all before it?
12596Yes?
12596Yes?
12596You ai n''t ever lucky in the fact''ry: you never have nothin'', see?
12596You are certain you mean to marry him?"
12596You ca n''t eat and wear a measly little house, can you?
12596You can?
12596You dat uppidy dese days, whut_ you_ care''bout eatin''up po''lil Lula?
12596You mean that Red Admiral that just whizzed by?
12596You see?"
12596You sure that feller ai n''t got nothin''ails him?
12596You surely know about everything you''ve got in this store, do n''t you?
12596You think she should n''t?"
12596You want I should come up there after you?
12596You want to know what Milly''s niece looks like?"
12596You wished to see me?"
12596You''_ taken''_ it?
12596You''re not in love, Son, are you?
12596You''re twenty now, are you not?
12596You?"
12596did n''t I say shut up?"
12596do you dream I would ruin my nephew''s life for a self- willed, undisciplined minx?
12596said she, in the friendliest fashion,"where did_ you_ come from?"
12596what my name is?"
12596why?"
17690''Taken,''you say? 17690 ''Tis a monstrous doleful alternative,_ n''est- ce pas_?
17690''Tis no time for riddles; what mean you?
17690A duty, say you? 17690 A lie, you say?
17690A lunatic, eh? 17690 A spy, eh?
17690A spy? 17690 A victory?"
17690A week?
17690A wrong? 17690 Ah, Captain Ireton;''tis you, is it?
17690Ah? 17690 All?"
17690Alone?
17690Am I? 17690 An Ireton, you say?
17690Anan?
17690Anan?
17690Anan?
17690And Captain Sir Francis Falconnet with them?
17690And for that you struck him? 17690 And he dared lay a foul tongue to her, you say?
17690And he sent you to save me?
17690And how long will that be, think you?
17690And if I refuse?
17690And is that strange? 17690 And leave you behind?"
17690And my father?
17690And so make me a consenting accomplice? 17690 And that word will be--?"
17690And then?
17690And what for no? 17690 And what may your errand be?
17690And whose fault is that, ye cold- blooded stick? 17690 And why not, pray?
17690And why not? 17690 And yet you have n''t hanged him?"
17690And you are here to do it of your own free will?
17690And you are the son of Mr. Justice Roger Ireton, of Appleby Hundred?
17690And you have been a rebel from the first?
17690And you have been here all the time?
17690And you say you do not know her? 17690 And you will join the army at the front and leave Margery to his tender mercies?"
17690And you with your head humming like a basket of bees, as I make no doubt it will?
17690Another man?
17690Anthony?
17690Appleby Hundred?
17690Are you not afire with shame, Captain Ireton?
17690Are you not once again his guest, Captain Ireton?
17690Are you ready, Dick?
17690Are you strong enough to stand in that elder brother''s place again to- night?
17690As between King and Congress, you mean? 17690 As how?"
17690As how?
17690At Camden, you mean? 17690 Aye, Richard, I have wronged you, wronged you desperately; can you hear me yet?
17690Because I tried to warn you?
17690Business?
17690But Madge?
17690But he has told you what you must do?
17690But how the devil came he here? 17690 But if I say there may be?"
17690But what if one of us be taken? 17690 But where are we?"
17690But whither?
17690But you have had some word-- some news-- from Appleby Hundred?
17690But you say you have heard, as well?
17690But you will hang him, Sir Francis? 17690 But you will, Jack?
17690But you, Ephraim, and the chief, here; are you two running away like all the others?
17690But you?
17690But you?
17690But your father?
17690But-- but Margery?
17690Can not, you say?
17690Can you read it?
17690Cap''n John, ca n''t you and the youngster lay your heads side and side and make out what- all this here hoss- captain mought be up to? 17690 Captain Ireton?"
17690Captain Long- knife will go and fight for his black dogs with wool on their heads?
17690Chief Harris?
17690Could I guess that you would come here, into the very noose of the gallows? 17690 D''ye-- d''ye mean to kill us both?"
17690Dare not, you say? 17690 De Kalb?"
17690Dick, you passed this way an hour ago; was that breastwork in the road then?
17690Did I know it?
17690Did I not say I had forgotten it?
17690Did I? 17690 Did he make you his deputy to tell me so, Captain Ireton?"
17690Did she tell you why she must refuse you?
17690Did you come here, under the shadow of the gallows, to tell me this, Monsieur John?
17690Did you mean that, friend?--about the hanging?
17690Do I, indeed,_ mon ami_?
17690Do n''t you see? 17690 Do you come thus into my father''s house and take a wounded guest and hang him?
17690Do you know what it was?
17690Do you know what this packet contains?
17690Do you know who it was?
17690Do you mean that you kidnapped Mistress Stair to draw us out of hiding?
17690Do you never give a moment''s thought to the feelings of others, Captain Ireton?
17690Dost love her, Dick?
17690Ever come any closter to your Amen than that, stranger?
17690Ez I allow, I never heerd tell of any Injuns a- doing that- away afore; have you, Chief? 17690 Falconnet is still at Appleby Hundred?"
17690For thinking I had poisoned you? 17690 For what?"
17690From my Lord, ye say? 17690 Going away?"
17690Has Cornwallis lost his wits?
17690Has ever word been brought you that he would speed your parting?
17690Has it never come intil your thick numbskull that the poor fule lassie is sick wi''love for ye, ye dour- faced loon?
17690Has this fiend incarnate killed my poor lad?
17690Have I?
17690Have they not told ye? 17690 Have you ever an inkhorn and a quill in your cabin?"
17690Have you heard the newest? 17690 Have you marked out a line of retreat?"
17690Have you no news?
17690Have you seen him?
17690He has not seen Dick; does he know we are both here?
17690Here''s to our bully redskins and their king-- How do you call him, Captain Stuart? 17690 How are you better than the man you warned me of?"
17690How came you to go about picking a quarrel with Sir Francis?
17690How can it well be less than treason?
17690How can you ask? 17690 How did we come out of it, Jack?"
17690How did you get your speech with her?
17690How do you know this?
17690How does the chief know that? 17690 How in tarnation am I going to know which''she''he''s a- stewing about?
17690How is that?
17690How now, Captain Ireton? 17690 How now, lad?"
17690How so?
17690How was that?
17690How will it be, Eph?
17690How?
17690How?
17690I am for a dip in the river; what say you?
17690I say you would not have written it so; is not that the truth?
17690I serve you?
17690I-- I''ll go and have the papers drawn, and you will sign them, Captain Ireton; I have your passed word that you will sign them?
17690I? 17690 I?
17690If I had not, should I be here this moment?
17690If he be a rebel and a spy, why, in God''s name, should he carry your Lordship''s letters to any but some rag- tag colonel of his own kidney?
17690If he knows I am here, why does he let them search elsewhere?
17690If you refuse? 17690 If you should die intestate, this Septimus would be your heir?"
17690In what manner, your Lordship?
17690Is it-- about-- Sir Francis?
17690Is my Lord gone?
17690Is she safe in bed?
17690Is that all the chief saw?
17690Is that all?
17690Is that generous, Captain Ireton? 17690 Is that what marriage means to you, Captain Ireton?"
17690Is this a time to harbor bitter thoughts? 17690 Is-- is there any one here whom you would see?"
17690It is your Lordship''s meaning that I should be quartered here?--in this house?
17690It should be easy enough-- what think you?
17690Kill them in cold blood?
17690Know you? 17690 Lacking, d''ye say?"
17690Madge, d''ye say? 17690 Manitou Cornwally fool Great War Chief, mebbe, hey?"
17690Margery Stair? 17690 May we count upon twenty- four hours, think you, Colonel?"
17690Mayhap you overheard me say it, Monsieur Eavesdropper?
17690Mistress Margery, you mean? 17690 Nay, rather, who are you?"
17690Nay,he said, very gently;"you need not go so high for a witness; have I not seen?"
17690No want kill Captain Jennif'', hey?
17690Not anything at all?
17690Not married? 17690 Not once?"
17690Now how in the name of all the fiends did they make shift to burrow from yonder bag- bottom into this?
17690Now what a- devil has set this hornet''s nest of theirs abuzz so suddenly?
17690Now who are these?
17690Now who is daft?
17690Now, then; how much or how little have you two blabbed of the doings at Appleby Hundred some weeks since?
17690Of course you know that the confiscation act of the North Carolina Congress re- established my right and title to the estate?
17690Of her own free will?
17690Of what use would it be? 17690 Oh, why did you bring him here?
17690Oh, why did you come? 17690 Oh, you have?"
17690Oh; an affair of honor? 17690 On your information?"
17690Once more, Captain Falconnet, will you let me pass?
17690One question first, is Richard Jennifer safe?
17690Safe? 17690 Saw you ever a man worthy the name who could be content to bide inactive when duty calls?"
17690Saw you ever a play in this backwoods wilderness?
17690Saw you ever such a cool- blood little jade in all your life? 17690 Saw you ever such a mincing puss- in- boots since the Lord made you?
17690Say you so, Richard Jennifer? 17690 Say you so?
17690Say you so? 17690 Shall we never have the better of these senseless vaporings?"
17690She will do it, think you?
17690She will, ye say? 17690 So Falconnet is on terms at Appleby Hundred, is he?"
17690So ho? 17690 So long?
17690So the priest carried tales, did he? 17690 So you know of the major and his doings?
17690So, you are awake, Mistress Margery? 17690 So; some one has betrayed me?"
17690So? 17690 So?"
17690So?
17690So?
17690So?
17690So?
17690So?--then you knew of that order?
17690Stay; did you not say there was a barrier, Jack?--when we were wrestling with death in the Indian fires? 17690 Surely I may plead for justice to a wounded man who was, and is, my father''s guest?"
17690That lang- legged jackanapes of a Dickie Jennifer? 17690 That little smirking wretch?
17690That will be a shrewd guess of yours, I take it, Ephraim?
17690The white squaw?
17690Then Mistress Margery sent you here to save me?
17690Then it was a farrago of lies you told me about your adventures in the western mountains?
17690Then she is alive and safe?
17690Then the chief came off safely?
17690Then they have gone?
17690Then they have taken him and the Catawba, as well?
17690Then they were all mistaken? 17690 Then this is not your first knowing of him?"
17690Then we are to hold on all and wait still longer?
17690Then you are free to call it treason, are you, Margery?
17690Then you are not committed to Colonel Sevier for a term of service?
17690Then you do not love Madge more?
17690Then you forgive me?
17690Then you will not by so much undo the wrong you have done me, Captain Falconnet?
17690Then you would have me marry Richard Jennifer?
17690Then your Lordship will order him to come in with what he has?
17690They say I am good only to fetch and carry-- may I fetch you anything?
17690This Catawba: is he a man about my age?
17690This will be ours to walk through, will it not, Colonel Tarleton?
17690This; that we go to Witherby Hall and get speech with Mistress Madge, if so be--"Stay a moment; who are these Witherbys?
17690Three of them, do you say?
17690To be shot or hanged a little later, I suppose?
17690To choose between love and wifely duty? 17690 To myself?
17690To tell me this?
17690Truly?
17690Trust you, Jack? 17690 Uncanoola?"
17690Vat shall I do mit him? 17690 Was it not enough that you should get yourself half slain, without sending this headstrong boy to his death?"
17690We can make it across? 17690 We were taken together?"
17690Well, then; you''d best be off while you may; d''ye hear? 17690 Well, what is it that you think?"
17690Well, what luck?
17690Well, what of him? 17690 Well, your gran''dad, then; can you take me to him?"
17690Well,said he, speaking slowly, as one who thinks the path out word by word,"what if she believes''tis you who want your freedom?
17690Well? 17690 Well?"
17690Well?
17690Well?
17690Well?
17690Were you my friend, as well, is this as you would have it?
17690Wha-- what''s that ye say?
17690What a devil will you make of this?
17690What are your plans, Richard?
17690What brought him over- seas, Sir Francis?
17690What business can you have with Mistress Madge Stair, pray?
17690What did she say of me, Jack? 17690 What did you dream?"
17690What do you know?
17690What else did she say?
17690What folly is this, sir?
17690What for Captain Jennif''think papoose thinks''bout the Gray Wolf and poor Injun? 17690 What for it, then?"
17690What has your father told you, Margery?
17690What have I done that you should come here to have yourself hanged for a spy?
17690What have you done with her?
17690What is Margery Stair to you, Jack Ireton?
17690What is a woman''s honor, sir, when you or any man has patched and sewed and sought to make it whole again? 17690 What is it you would have me do, Captain Ireton?"
17690What is it, Jack?
17690What is it, Jack?
17690What is it, then?--besides the fact that I am Roger Ireton''s son?
17690What is it?
17690What is it?
17690What is it?
17690What is this, gentlemen?--a court martial? 17690 What is to the fore, Dick?"
17690What is your plan?
17690What know you of the king, little one?
17690What made you mad, Monsieur John?
17690What new wonder is this?
17690What next?
17690What of the dear friend to whom you would give up even the love of your mistress?
17690What say ye, Cap''n John? 17690 What say you, Dick?"
17690What say you, Jack? 17690 What say you, Jack?
17690What should I say? 17690 What spy?"
17690What things?
17690What was it, then?
17690What was that?
17690What weighty thing have you to do that you should be so fierce to be about it, Monsieur Impetuous?
17690What will you do with him, Captain Lauswoulter? 17690 What would you call''the best''if I may ask?"
17690What would you? 17690 What''s that ye''re saying, youngster?"
17690What''s your mind about it, hey, Chief?
17690Where are your masters now?
17690Where are your wits this morning, gentlemen? 17690 Where is the chief, Ephraim?"
17690Where is the chief, think you?
17690Where will that be, think you? 17690 Where will you go?
17690Where''bouts Captain Long- knife going?
17690Where? 17690 Which way will it be, north or south?"
17690Whither, if I may ask?
17690Who is she?
17690Who is your next of kin, Captain Ireton?
17690Who may he be?
17690Who says that word of me?
17690Who slandered her like this, Dick? 17690 Why do n''t you speak, sir?"
17690Why do n''t you strike a light? 17690 Why do you suppose my Lord Bacon thought the Roman procurator jested at such a time and place?"
17690Why not strike for the Great Trace, and so go back the way the powder convoy came?
17690Why should you lie and lie again, when any one could see that it must come to this-- or worse?
17690Why should you not, my dear?
17690Why?
17690Will the Catawba tell the friend whose life he saved what he has seen?
17690Will this business take you without the lines?
17690Will you never have done taking my honor and your own life into your reckless hands?
17690Will you squander the last moment in silly questions?
17690Wo n''t you find her for me, Cappy Jack?
17690Would not your sword suffice against a man with empty hands?
17690Would you take a fighting hazard when you need not? 17690 Ye''d no expect a romantic bit lassie wi''French blood in her veins to be confidencing wi''her old dried- up wisp of a father, now, would ye?
17690Yeates?
17690Yes?
17690You and three others?
17690You are in a most perilous situation, Captain Ireton; do you know it? 17690 You are surprised, Mistress Margery; you heard my Lord''s order and thought I would be by now some miles on the road to Salisbury?"
17690You have come to take us back to my father?
17690You have given it all to the king?
17690You have made all your dispositions, Major?
17690You have seen nothing, Gordon?
17690You heard what he had to say?
17690You know the town, I take it?
17690You make it out?
17690You may grin as you please,he went on;"but answer me this; do the dead come back to life?"
17690You mean that you are going to help me escape? 17690 You refuse?"
17690You say you left it behind you at New Berne?
17690You say you love her, Dick; can you believe her capable of this, and yet go on loving her?
17690You say you''ve bagged this Captain Ireton? 17690 You should blame neither the lady nor the man to whom she has given nothing save--""Save what?"
17690You think no other than a mistress would have done this, Colonel Tarleton-- that it was done for love? 17690 You used to say-- in that other time-- that love should go before a marriage; did you not?
17690You will keep faith with me, dear lady; do you hear? 17690 You will not kill him when I am gone, Monsieur John?"
17690You''ll go ashore?
17690You''re the spying rebel captain, eh? 17690 You?--a bearer of Lord Cornwallis''s despatches?"
17690You?--you come between?
17690Young?
17690Your father?
17690_ Merci, encore._ Shall I go away and leave you?
17690''Tis a strong position, this, eh, Captain Ireton?
17690''Twas I who broke it to say:"Then we are still playing a losing hand in the South, as I take it?"
17690After a long- drawn sigh of contentment, she said:"My name Polly; what''s yours?"
17690After a time she said:"Why did you make me marry you, Monsieur John?
17690Ai n''t they got all the time there is to get where they''re a- going, immejitly,_ if_ not sooner?"
17690Ai n''t we, Chief, hey?"
17690And as for Margery?
17690And for this single lamb of your scant fold you brave the terrors of our heretic backwoods?
17690And how do you thank me?
17690And if I do chance to see her-- what then?"
17690And if his thirst was for vengeance, how could he quench it in a deeper draft than by harrying the woman we both loved?
17690And it come from yonder, did n''t it?"
17690And now about the settlements, Captain Ireton; you''ll be making her legatee residuary?"
17690And now will you let me take you to your gran''dad?"
17690And so this Highland piper has been your fencing master, has he?"
17690And surely it was the love- demon in me that made me say:"You think I am standing in your way, Richard Jennifer?
17690And then she added:"Is it the custom for Her Apostolic Majesty''s officers to come out of a death- swound only to pay pretty compliments?"
17690And then to Ephraim Yeates:"Will this rain kill the trail, think you?"
17690And then to me:"Go on, sir, if you please; there has been a battle, as I take it?"
17690And then to my poor frighted love:"Have you no shame, Mistress Margery Stair?"
17690And then, like lightning:"Will you raise a band of rebels and come and take your own again?"
17690And then, out of the honest English heart of him:"Have you made your peace, Captain?
17690And then:"Can you pick out a good horse in the dark, Jack?
17690And then:"Of course he promptly''listed with the rebels when he came?
17690And then:"Who the devil are ye, anyway; and what do ye want wi''me?"
17690And then:"Will you lead the way to your room, sir?"
17690And was there not something about a rescue at the last moment by a band of these border bravos?
17690And what will become o''the braw acres of Appleby that gait, I''d like to know?
17690And when I had obeyed:"I think you must know what I''ve come for, Captain Ireton?"
17690And when she spoke it was only to say:"Are you not most monstrous ashamed, Monsieur John?"
17690And when she stood before me like a bidden child:"Tell me, little comrade, who is that other?"
17690And why, misliking me, as I made sure he did, should he be so hot to make the shadow marriage a thing of substance?
17690Another instant and she was with us, stamping her foot and crying:"_ Mon Dieu!_ what is this?
17690Are you alive enough to hang?"
17690Are you game for it?"
17690Are you gone mad, both of you?"
17690Are you strong enough to have your wound dressed?"
17690Are you-- are you what they said you were?"
17690At Charlotte?"
17690Besides--""Well, what is there else besides?
17690But Richard Jennifer-- what had become of him?
17690But all this was in the early summer, you say; where have you been since?"
17690But can it be brought off successfully, think you?"
17690But ere I slept a hand was laid on my shoulder, and a voice that I knew well, said:"Are you waking yet, Jack?"
17690But ere long he paused to grasp and wring my hand most lovingly, saying,"Who am I, Jack, to buy my happiness at such a price?"
17690But here Dick went back to my warning, saying, whilst we let the horses drink:"''Tis patrolled on the other bank, you say?"
17690But how came you to know?"
17690But how is this?
17690But nothing would ever tempt you to be so masterful rough, would it, Monsieur John?
17690But now''tis done, I hope ye''re prepared to make the best of it?"
17690But tell me, Jack-- I''m new to this game-- what''s to do first when we are among them?"
17690But there''ll be some dark night''r other whenst we can slip up on''em and raise a scalp''r two and lift what plunder we can tote; hey, Chief?"
17690But to the other-- the matter which has brought me hither; will you put me in the way of finding Father Matthieu?"
17690But what can I say?
17690But what''s in the wind, Captain?
17690But why do n''t you knot the halter?
17690But you are bound in honor, are you not?"
17690But you are older at this business than any of us, Jack; what think you of our chances?"
17690But you ask why I come: could I do less than come, dear friend?"
17690Call hisself the Great Bear, hey?
17690Can I do less than hold you to your pledge?"
17690Can I say more?"
17690Can you guess who it is?"
17690Can you not endure it a little longer, Captain Ireton?"
17690Can you repeat from memory the_ postscriptum_ which you say was added to it?"
17690Can you tell me why?"
17690Can you trust me with her?"
17690Could I be mistaken?
17690Could I make use of it to come unseen into the council chamber of Lord Cornwallis and his officers?
17690Damme, Sir Francis, I know not why he came-- how should I know?"
17690Did I not tell you you had thrust an inch or so too high?
17690Did n''t I speir her giving him his quittance once for all that night when he rode away after they had pitten ye to bed?
17690Do I look as if I ate people?"
17690Do I not pamper you enough?"
17690Do they know the major''s present whereabouts?"
17690Do they limit you to a single candle when my back is turned?"
17690Do you accept the terms?"
17690Do you bring us news from the major?"
17690Do you come from her?"
17690Do you greatly blame me, Margery?"
17690Do you happen to know that this volunteer captain of light- horse is accounted the best blade in the troop?"
17690Do you hear, sir?
17690Do you keep open house for the king''s enemies?
17690Do you mind that little interval in the Cherokees''torture- play when they came to bind us afresh for the burning?"
17690Do you need a friend to go with you?"
17690Do you speak by the book?"
17690Do you understand?"
17690Do you wonder that I have been reckless of the hangman?
17690Do you wonder, my dears, that I lost my head when I saw how completely the toils of this little black- clothed fiend had closed around me?
17690Does she love you?--has she said she loves you?"
17690Does that mean that you have spirited her away since last night?"
17690Does your Lordship take me?"
17690For was she not a soldier''s wife?
17690Had you ever thought that the Church can undo what the Church has done?"
17690Had you forgotten the stair at the back?"
17690Has he seen him?"
17690Has she not taken her affair into her own hands?"
17690Has she not told you?"
17690Has the old Gray Wolf gone stun- blind?
17690Have I been ailing?"
17690Have the goodness to ring the bell for me, will you, Captain?"
17690Have you any notion why my Lord Charles is sending for you?"
17690Have you aught further to say, Captain Ireton?--aught that may excuse us for not leaving you behind us in a halter?"
17690Have you ever a messenger to send, a man who will risk his life and can be trusted fully?"
17690Have you ever told her that you love her, Jack?"
17690Have you never a touch of human kindliness in you?"
17690Have you never one little grain of imagination, Monsieur John?
17690Have you news, Captain?"
17690How came you to quarrel with him, Jack?"
17690How can I find and dress his hurts in the dark?"
17690How can you know what she thinks of me?"
17690How could I go about to make it plain that I had robbed him for his own honor''s sake?--that it was not I but fate that was to blame?
17690How do you know I did not?"
17690How is it that love transforms the once contemptible into a thing most highly to be prized?
17690How is that?"
17690How is this, Mistress Margery?
17690How much has your daughter told you of the matter between us?"
17690How much or how little did Lord Cornwallis remember of Colonel Tarleton''s report?
17690How then; do you call it a wrong to rescue you from these brutal savages, Mistress Margery?"
17690I asked;"friends or foes?"
17690I asked;"more fighting?"
17690I broke in roughly,"will you never have done and go to sleep?"
17690I gasped;"''twas you, then?
17690I groaned;"are you a woman, or a fiend?"
17690I love you, Mistress Margery; do you hear?
17690I nursed my knee a moment and then said:"What may one man do to help, Colonel Davie?"
17690I reckon ye''re a- needing that same pretty toler''ble bad, ai n''t ye, little gal?"
17690I shook my head, seeing no special significance in the token; and Dick asked:"What will it be, Ephraim, now that it is caught?"
17690I shut my eyes wilfully when a voice low and tender asked:"Are you awake, Monsieur John?"
17690Is he fit?"
17690Is that what you youngsters was trying to find out?"
17690Is there no way out of this coil that is strangling us both, Captain Ireton?"
17690Is there not strife enough in this unhappy land without these causeless bickerings?"
17690Is-- is you hungry, Mister Soldier- man?"
17690Loathing her bonds, as any true- hearted maiden must, would Margery consent to have them broken by the law?
17690May I trouble you for the despatches you carry?"
17690Mebbe Captain Jennif''see''um, hey?"
17690Mebbe go up like smoke-- w''at?"
17690Mighty cur''is, that; ai n''t it, now?
17690Moreover, I marvel greatly--""At what?"
17690Nay, rather would they have the courage to try?
17690Nay, what devilish thing was it he might not do?
17690Need I say more?"
17690No, it were best he knew it not; but how was I to rid me of this burden?--of this and of that other laid upon me for my love?
17690Now that you have made me what I was not before, are you satisfied?"
17690Now who is there to see fair play on your side, John Ireton?"
17690Now will you be off about your business before some spying rascal lays an information against me for harboring you?"
17690Now, says I to myself, what''s the tarnation hurry?
17690Or did I dream it?"
17690Or do I remember badly?"
17690Or was that only another way of telling me to mind my own affairs?"
17690Saying he were free to leave Charlotte, how should he be riding post on my haphazard road to the westward?
17690Shall I bring you another dish of tea?
17690Shall I have Anthony light you up?"
17690Shall I ride down to Jennifer House and fetch Dick here?"
17690Shall we charge and run it through?"
17690Shall we float the canoe and give them all the slip?"
17690Shall we rush them?
17690Sir Francis Falconnet, you know me?"
17690Sleep only one eye, mebbe, hey?
17690So long as I could keep my love well masked and hidden what harm could come to her or any if I should give it leave to live in prison?
17690So, when God gives me strength to mount and ride--""Now who is fierce?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Stair?"
17690Suppose-- suppose the Indian did not blunder, dear lord and master of me?"
17690Surely not old Roger''s son?"
17690Surely, you have not to think twice in such a cause?"
17690Tell me this; did I no bundle ye neck and heels into your own wife''s bed- room?
17690Tell me, Captain Ireton, is she fair?"
17690Tell me, Monsieur John; was it nasty bitter?"
17690Tell me, Monsieur Oracle, how do you know it?"
17690Tell me, if you please, must I marry him-- when--""When you are free to do it?"
17690Tell me, little one; was it not you who sent the Indian to Captain Forney to tell him a patriot spy was to be executed at day- dawn in the oak glade?"
17690Tell me; do I love him as his mistress should?"
17690Then I heard the baronet say:"But yet the thing is done?"
17690Then my Lord added:"You are here to take your old service again, I assume?"
17690Then to the Indian:"If we can make the beasts take the water, will you ferry us across, Chief?"
17690Then you are not of the king''s side?"
17690Then you have been playing fast and loose with me as you did with the handsome young planter and that beggarly captain of Austrians?
17690Then you will never have heard the glorious news?"
17690Then, in the same low tone:"But now-- now you would be free again?"
17690Then, to humor him to the top of his bent:"Haphazarding a guess, now; would this accounting leave a balance in my favor, or in yours?"
17690Then, with a swift dart aside from the subject:"Captain Long- knife care much''bout black dogs yonder?"
17690Then:"She writes you about this?"
17690They told me you were gone to join the rebels, did they not?"
17690Think you so?"
17690Thornicroft?"
17690Was I the one to whom her message had been sped?
17690Was ever man so tempted since the fall of Adam?
17690Was it a sharp foreboding of some such resort to savage violence that had tortured her into sending the appeal for help?
17690Was it fair fight when King George''s Indian devils came down in the dead of night upon our defenseless house at Northby?
17690Was this your purpose in making your submission to me?"
17690Were not these your very words?"
17690What all d''ye reckon blackened the end o''this bit o''pine- branch?"
17690What are they saying?"
17690What could I say or do?
17690What could he hope to gain by such a thing?"
17690What do you propose?"
17690What for Captain Long- knife want kill the tree?"
17690What for take white squaw horse?"
17690What grievous hap had befallen my dear lady?
17690What has he to say or do in this?"
17690What have you overheard?"
17690What if there were a hint of truth in Gilbert Stair''s wrathful protest?
17690What if you have made her that bitterest thing in all the world-- a woman scorned?"
17690What if, after all, she cared less for Richard and more for me?
17690What is your charge?"
17690What know you of any other, Monsieur John?"
17690What say, Cap''n John?"
17690What say, Chief?"
17690What shall we do?"
17690What should I know?"
17690What think?
17690What threat was there for me in silent shadows in the wood?
17690What touch of savagery is it in a man that will not suffer him to let a woman, loved or unloved, stand in the last resort against his will?
17690What would he do, or seek to do?
17690What would he think of me?
17690What would you have me do?"
17690What would you say if I should tell you that I, too, have seen your London, and even your Paris?"
17690What''s at the back of all this?"
17690When she spoke again it was to say:"This is your own house, Captain Ireton; what will you do?"
17690Where is your grandfather?"
17690Which tree will you have me at?"
17690Who am I that I should do aught else?
17690Who goes there?"
17690Who goes there?"
17690Who has a better right to look upon her thus?
17690Who is your colonel?"
17690Who may he be?
17690Why do n''t you draw and cut me down?"
17690Why have you come?"
17690Why should I not?"
17690Why should he be so eager to make me think small of Margery''s love for Richard Jennifer?
17690Why should you want to die?"
17690Why, then, had he proposed to Margery?
17690Will that content you?"
17690Will that satisfy ye?"
17690Will you believe me, Margery, if I say I have not yet worn the buff and blue at all?"
17690Will you change your terms?"
17690Will you give me bite and sup before I mount and ride again?
17690Will you go and leave Mistress Margery wanting an answer to her poor little cry for help?"
17690Will you not use them?"
17690Will you ring, or shall I?"
17690Will you say you forgive me, Margery?"
17690Will you send a man to overtake them with a note from me?"
17690Will you shrive me for that disloyalty, dear lady?"
17690Will you sit and let me serve you, Captain Ireton?"
17690Will you tell me who it was set them on?"
17690Will you tell me why you have done this for the man who can serve you only by thrusting his neck into the hangman''s noose?"
17690Will your horse take that barricade, think you?"
17690Will your-- ah--_duty_ stretch the length of showing me an unwatched door?"
17690Would Jennifer believe my tale, though I should swear it out word for word on the Holy Evangelists?
17690Would it please you best to die a soldier''s death, Captain Ireton?"
17690Yet he would mutter, as the teeth- chattering suffered him:"What say you, Jack?
17690You are in disguise, as I take it; do you bring news of the army?"
17690You are no rebel, after all?"
17690You left him hastening to rejoin with his new loyalist levies, I hope?"
17690You love him well, do you not, Monsieur John?"
17690You passed my sentry in the road?"
17690You saw how I must see the matter through to shield the lady?"
17690You saw the paper I signed that night, with Lieutenant Tybee and your father''s factor for the witnesses?"
17690You spoke of a lady; who was she?
17690You would look deep into your sweetheart''s eyes and say-- Tell me what you would say,_ mon ami_?"
17690You''d play the spoil- sport here as you did once before, would you?
17690You''ll promise me this?"
17690_ Comprenez- vous?_"He said it with a laugh and another hearty hand- clap on my shoulder, and I would fain take it for a jest.
17690_ Mon Dieu!_ is a woman but a thing, to stand before the priest and plight her troth for''merest form''?
17690_ Savez- vous un homme dà © sespà © rà ©, ma chà © rie?_ I am that man.
17690_ Verstehen Sie?_"The soldier saluted, wheeled and vanished; and I sat down to wait till the old man''s outcry should pause for lack of breath.
17690and how much or how little was I to blame for this kidnapping of her by my relentless enemy?
17690are you gone clean mad?"
17690did you-- did you twig him, Jack?"
17690has the night''s work gone to your head?
17690he cried,"is it thus you pass an old friend without a word, Captain Ireton?"
17690hey?"
17690or did he read them sign like they''d ort to be read?"
17690said he;"did ever you see such sharp- wit work in all your adventures?
17690said my good friend Tybee, with a little strident laugh,"''tis you I am to take out and hang, is it, Master Lawyer?
17690said the old man, starting back;"then you are for our side?
17690said the patriarch;"are you followed?"
17690says Richard, clapping his hands to his eyes;"where did that come from?"
17690shall we never get into it?"
17690that I care no jot for my interfering life at this moment, save as the taking of it may involve you and Richard?"
17690what can I do for you?
17690what enemy?"
17690what is that?"
17690what to do with him, Jack?"
17690will you never stir?"
33478A black horse did you say?
33478Ah ha, old Truepenny, are you there?
33478And Arthur escaped? 33478 And Butler was not here; you would persuade me so, Mildred?"
33478And Captain St. Jermyn contrived this?
33478And Mildred will be removed forthwith to Charleston?
33478And about two miles beyont-- is squire Lindsay''s, at a place they call the Dove Cote?
33478And as the captain is sorry for it, lads,he concluded,"why, what is to be done but let the thing drop?
33478And belong to the army yet?
33478And can you patiently,exclaimed Tyrrel,"bow to this oppression?
33478And did the cowards strike to seven hundred rebels?
33478And does your father know nothing of this visit? 33478 And had no confederates with him?"
33478And how came this mishap to fall upon you, David?
33478And how does the major bear his troubles?
33478And how have you escaped the levy?
33478And how is that to be managed, friend Horse Shoe?
33478And how might that be?
33478And how shall I do so, Mildred? 33478 And is now with you in the camp, my brave fellows?"
33478And is that all?
33478And is there still?
33478And me, did he speak of me?
33478And no forks in the road betwixt this and the widow''s?
33478And nobody lives in it? 33478 And pray, what is that one quality?"
33478And so it was no ghost, nor spirit,said Horse Shoe,"that the major saw in the night?
33478And the father of Miss Lindsay, you say, resided there?
33478And the officer?
33478And the sentinel who keeps guard on that side?
33478And the utmost length of your journey?
33478And there, if I do n''t disremember,said the traveller,"is a house kept by the widow Dimock; the Blue Ball, I think?"
33478And was that an argument for wishing to fight him?
33478And were paid for it?
33478And what in the devil brought you here?
33478And what is that?
33478And what will he tell me?
33478And where bound?
33478And who are you, my pretty maid?
33478And why should you not?
33478And yet Butler is his friend?
33478And you are a comrade, I suppose?
33478And you are here to larn the news from him?
33478And you made no concealment of your name or rank?
33478And you met him on that single night-- by accident, I suppose?
33478And you were in arms on the night of the thirteenth, at Grindall''s Ford?
33478And your father''s name?
33478And your traps, Wat?
33478Any strangers there?
33478Are we likely to meet parties on the road?
33478Are you alone, or do you come with followers at your heels? 33478 Are you asleep?
33478Are you followed?
33478Are you sure of entertainment here, Galbraith?
33478Are you sure of that?
33478But you spoke of this Tyrrel-- what manner of man is he? 33478 But, unluckily, Stephen''s first shot killed him?"
33478But,replied the scrupulous matron,"if they should ask me who told me, what should I answer?"
33478By myself?
33478Can this young St. Jermyn have fallen in with Sumpter? 33478 Can we have lost ourselves?
33478Can you find a joint of venison, Gideon?
33478Captain St. Jermyn, you say, left this at sunrise this morning?
33478Cleveland will certainly join us?
33478Did I not command you to bear yourself peaceably? 33478 Did they hold any discourse with you?"
33478Did you hear of one Tyrrel, in the British camp? 33478 Did you mark, sister, how I set him down-- in spite of my father''s presence?
33478Did you see that? 33478 Did you understand any thing of the purpose of his visit?"
33478Do n''t you hear the gentleman say he is hurt?
33478Do n''t you know Gates has passed South?
33478Do n''t you see that you''re in line? 33478 Do they allow you to see him often?"
33478Do you doubt my truth, father?
33478Do you forget, in the hour of your affliction, that you have a friend who is able to comfort? 33478 Do you hear that, wife?"
33478Do you know him, sir?
33478Do you know nothing about the court- martial?
33478Do you know to whom you are speaking?
33478Do you know, Mr. Butler, how I come to call that boy Marcus?
33478Do you live in this neighborhood?
33478Do you now think,asked Mildred,"that your efforts are or can be of any avail to produce peace?"
33478Do you remember the fool we met at the Waxhaws last May?
33478Do you see that, Mildred? 33478 Do you suppose, major, that Troy town was taken without brandy?
33478Do you think he is much hurt?
33478Does Major Butler know that you are in his neighborhood?
33478Does not my hand feel cold?
33478Does your business take you there?
33478Does your husband ever serve with the army, madam?
33478Father, have I offended you?
33478For what purpose,he asked himself,"but to avert this ill- omened event could I have had such an extraordinary warning?"
33478Friend or foe?
33478From this despatch, gentlemen, I suppose we shall rest here for the night-- what say you?
33478Had he a white star in the forehead, and the two hind legs white below the knee?
33478Had n''t we better tell him what a good man the Major is?
33478Had you met any parties of loyalists,inquired Innis,"in your journey between Catawba and Broad?"
33478Halloo, James Curry!--which way?--What news have you?
33478Has n''t he the sense to see I can not get out? 33478 Has she been here lately?"
33478Have I advanced,was the tenor of his present self- communion,"the purpose I have so much at heart, by this night''s conference?
33478Have I guessed yours?
33478Have n''t we been in luck,said Henry,"to get so fine a buck at last?
33478Have these rummaging and thieving Tories been out maraudering in the night? 33478 Have you come to a mutiny?
33478Have you so little notion where you are, that you bellow like bulls? 33478 Have you studied the Military Catechism, Henry?
33478Have you told him all?
33478He has never spoken to you, Mildred?
33478He has pricked your pillows for you-- has he? 33478 He has told you all?"
33478He is a monstrous braggart; is he not, Mildred?
33478He is related to your family, perhaps?
33478He was at your house? 33478 Henry, pray drop your military phrase, and tell me what this means?"
33478Here, in the house to- night?
33478How are we off for provisions, quarter- master?
33478How came he here to- day?
33478How can you laugh, Arthur? 33478 How come on your studies, brother?"
33478How did you escape them?
33478How do you bear it, sister?
33478How do you know that?
33478How far are we from Adair''s?
33478How far do they march to- day?
33478How far do you expect to travel to- morrow?
33478How far had you to ride, Michael?
33478How has this happened, Andrew?
33478How long before this rain began was it that they quitted this house?
33478How many men are there to guard the prisoner?
33478How many men had this skulking fellow, Sumpter, at his back?
33478How many mought there be, friend?
33478How may I understand you, Miss Lindsay?
33478How now, good master Puff,said Mildred, coming up playfully to her brother,"what means this uproar?
33478How would you like a scrummage, Andy, with them Scotchmen that stole your mother''s chickens this morning?
33478I had some dream, I think, about him: or, did n''t you call him so yourself, Horse Shoe?
33478I have heard that this corps was marching to head- quarters Are you sure St. Jermyn is not with Campbell?
33478I hope no unhappy accident, my dear, has driven you at this unusual hour to my poor house? 33478 If I mought be so bold, ma''am, how far mought it be to a river they call the Rockfish?"
33478In God''s name, man, what is the matter with your face?
33478In God''s name, what is it? 33478 In good truth, shall I, boy?
33478In that case,said Adair,"if you know the road-- doesn''t Horse Shoe know it, sir?"
33478In the devil''s name, who are you? 33478 In what month was it you left us?"
33478In what school did you learn your philosophy, friend? 33478 Is Major Butler here too?"
33478Is Major Butler up yet?
33478Is Turnbull there now, think you?
33478Is it so?
33478Is it you? 33478 Is n''t it time that we were at the ford?
33478Is n''t that the glimmering of a light yonder in the bushes?
33478Is n''t there an old field, about a mile from this, on that road?
33478Is that fellow to be trusted, sergeant?
33478Is the portmanteau and the rest of the baggage all safe, Isaac? 33478 It is true, Major Butler, that you were at Adair''s on the night of the twelfth?"
33478James Curry had a master in the business,said Robinson:"His name?"
33478Major Butler, I understand, of the Continental army?
33478May I ask, major,inquired Horse Shoe,"since you have got to talking of our business, what has brought us so high up the country, along here?
33478Mayhap you mought have hearn of a man they call Bloody Spur?
33478Michael,said the first voice;"Damn it, man, will you never awake?
33478Mildred,said Henry, immediately rushing to his sister, and lifting her from the floor,"why should you kneel before him, or any man here?
33478Mought I ax your honor to stomp as lightly upon the floor as you can? 33478 My trusty cavalier, are you going to fall from your horse?
33478Never a word? 33478 Now, my pretty miller''s daughter, why do you think so?"
33478Now, sir, your name and character? 33478 Now, tell me, which of you love me best?
33478Of whom do you speak?
33478Oh, what ill fortune brings him hither?
33478Pray, sir, tell me what brings you here, and who you are? 33478 Ramsay,"said Butler, in a low tone,"is it you?"
33478Say you so?
33478Shall I give you the circumlocutory account of the matter?
33478Shall I let loose upon them, captain?
33478So, this is the man himself? 33478 That''s true; your poor moneyless devil, how should his wit pass current?
33478The missing, sir?
33478The names of the wounded, sir?
33478Then why not accompany her to Charleston?
33478Then, it is likely, it would please you to have a chance at such a game? 33478 There were no soldiers,"inquired Mary, addressing David Ramsay,"that you have heard of, who followed towards Fair Forest?
33478They took the route towards Ninety- Six, you said, Mistress Ramsay?
33478This Wat Adair is not likely to be churlish, I hope?
33478This is one of your children, I suppose?
33478This man, Horse Shoe Robinson,said St. Jermyn,"was known to Adair as a whig soldier?"
33478This, you say, is the first time you have been in Carolina?
33478To join Gates?
33478To what end am I to write? 33478 To whom are you talking, Galbraith?"
33478To- morrow, Arthur? 33478 Wat Adair, I think, directed us to Christie''s?"
33478Well, Harry Winter,said John, laughing,"what say you now?
33478Well, and do n''t you call this soldiership? 33478 Well, and if I were?
33478Well, and what was said?
33478Well, most wise and shrewd master, what do you call my country? 33478 Well, sir?"
33478Well, what are you going to do with her, Adair?
33478Well, whence do you come?
33478Well, you need n''t be so d----d busy; do n''t you see that I am getting ready?
33478Were you interrupted in your sleep last night, Galbraith? 33478 What arms have you in the house?"
33478What authority have you to ask questions? 33478 What colors do you serve?"
33478What did you hear? 33478 What do you mean by such doings before a peaceable house?"
33478What do you mean by this racket and clatter?
33478What do you say to all this?
33478What do you want?
33478What does Mildred say of this Tyrrel?
33478What favor have these, my impartial judges, vouchsafed to me in my last moment? 33478 What has brought the lady to Carolina?"
33478What has brought you here? 33478 What has turned you back?
33478What have they done with Major Butler?
33478What have you discovered, Mildred, or heard, that you should deem so injuriously of this man? 33478 What hocus- pocus has been here?"
33478What in the devil would you have?
33478What is that?
33478What is that?
33478What is your lordship''s pleasure regarding this Adam Cusack?
33478What kept you till this time of night?
33478What kind of a looking man was he?
33478What man that knows Frank Marion could ever answer that question?
33478What might be his name?
33478What name did you call him by?
33478What news do you bring?
33478What of that, girl? 33478 What old witch has been pinching you, Horse Shoe, that_ you_ are up so early?"
33478What reason, my good girl?
33478What route did he take?
33478What shall I do with it?
33478What should an honorable man,replied Butler,"say to such foul aspersions?
33478What side do you take?
33478What side does your father take, Mary?
33478What would you be pleased to have, sir?
33478What would you have the purport of my letter?
33478What''s a cracked crown, so as it holds a man''s brains?
33478What''s all this laughing and uproar about?
33478What''s the use of all this fuss, Missus Dimck? 33478 What, sir,"returned the officer, with a look of surprise,"do you class yourself with the rebels?
33478When am I to be informed of them, and to what do they tend?
33478Whence comes this missive?
33478Where are you from? 33478 Where away so fast?"
33478Where can that fellow have been so early? 33478 Where did you come from with this gentleman?"
33478Where do you come from, and where are you going?
33478Where do you take us to?
33478Where found the rebels men to master you?
33478Where from, and in what direction do you travel?
33478Where from, and whither do you go?
33478Where from?
33478Where is Andy?
33478Where is Innis?
33478Where is Marion?
33478Where is my son John?
33478Where is your mistress?
33478Where mought you be from?
33478Where was Cruger then?
33478Who are my friends in this room? 33478 Who are you that keep such a racket at the fence there?"
33478Who are you that ride so late?
33478Who are you to talk of Wat Adair? 33478 Who are you, sir?"
33478Who comes here, and with what purpose?
33478Who goes there?
33478Who goes there?
33478Who has distressed you?
33478Who in the devil are you-- and what are you about?
33478Who is Tyrrel?
33478Who is at home with you?
33478Who is he that asks?
33478Who is this man?
33478Who raps at my door?
33478Who says Sumpter is near Ninety- Six?
33478Who?
33478Whom were you about to name?
33478Whose was that?
33478Why did n''t you report instantly upon our arrival?
33478Why do you stand?
33478Why not try it alone?
33478Why pray not, sister? 33478 Why so, my gay sparrow- hawk?"
33478Will not the lieutenant be sending some of his own men with you?
33478Will the gentlemen stay for breakfast?
33478Will they? 33478 With how many men?"
33478With what, good brother?
33478Yes, you called him Major Butler?
33478You are crusty, Wat Adair; what''s the matter with you?
33478You are married?
33478You are not angry with me, father, for following you to- night?
33478You are welcome, again; your name, sir?
33478You axed, I think, where I was going? 33478 You call this beginning at the beginning?
33478You can give him a letter?
33478You conversed with him?
33478You do n''t blame the enemy for showing fight? 33478 You do n''t_ disremember_ the part of Virginia you lived in?"
33478You do not live here, I think I have gathered, but are only on a visit?
33478You do?
33478You have heard bad news, father?
33478You have heard the allegations against you, sir,said Colonel Innis;"what say you to them?"
33478You have no objection to give us a hand to clinch that bargain, James?
33478You have served?
33478You have some very near friend who has suffered in the late battle-- a prisoner, perhaps?
33478You have spoken to her on this subject?
33478You heard nothing of the answer of his Lordship?
33478You heard of no red coats about the Tiger?
33478You huge giant- killer, do you mock me?
33478You left Fort Ninety- Six only on Wednesday?
33478You saw Hugh?
33478You say you do n''t know the name of the person at whose house you stopped?
33478You set out southwards, with your comrades of the troop, in a few days?
33478You that ca n''t scratch like scholards, stick your marks to the paper-- d''ye hear?
33478You were at Charleston during the siege?
33478You were under a feigned name then, sir?
33478You will attend me?
33478You will not deny,he said, after an interval of reflection,"that you are a native of Carolina?"
33478You wish to get across here into Georgia?
33478You would n''t have me go with you, brother?
33478You would n''t mock the sufferings of a weak woman in such a thing as this?
33478You would n''t take such a child as that into danger?
33478Your dress?
33478Your name, friend?
33478Your name, sir, and the number you have in company?
33478Your name, sir?
33478Your name?
33478Your purpose was to join Clarke?
33478_ Who_ do you say? 33478 A letter, you say, has been written to Lord Cornwallis?
33478A major in the regular Continental line, sir?"
33478Adair?"
33478Again, who in the devil are you?"
33478Am I not girded round about with the hot champions of independence?
33478Am I not right?"
33478Am I right, good woman?"
33478Am I right?
33478And Horse Shoe, if you should come across another wolf stuck in a tree, skin her, d''ye hear?
33478And ar''n''t we all mustering here-- every man most?
33478And did n''t you set him on, with good brave words for it?"
33478And did you see how his brow blanched when I spoke my mind to him?
33478And do it quietly-- do you hear?
33478And do n''t you see, Mary, what good luck I have with it?
33478And has he then fallen into the hands of the enemy?
33478And how does this reason operate?"
33478And then, dear sister, you are here to look on-- isn''t that a piece of good luck?"
33478And there are bonds between you?"
33478And this is your brother?
33478And what call you that?
33478And what has become of Marion?"
33478And wherefore do they speak, but that the initiated may regard the sign, and walk in safety?
33478And why did n''t you let me know you were coming?
33478And why?
33478And your sister, how is she?"
33478And, more particularly, what would John Ramsay think of it, if the story should be afterwards told to her disadvantage?
33478And, moreover, when I turned out this morning, before it was cleverly day, who do you think I saw?"
33478Are you for ever to love that man?"
33478Are you madly bent on bringing down misery on your head?
33478Are you sure of it?
33478Are you sure of it?"
33478Arn''t I here on the spot, with the cretur''s in my hand?"
33478Arter another buck, I reckon?
33478Arthur?"
33478As my father says, the God of Israel will stand by our cause: and when He is for us, what care we who is against us?"
33478Ask Stephen Foster what I am?"
33478At length resuming his expostulation, in a somewhat moderate tone, he continued:"Will no lapse of time wear away this abhorred image from your memory?
33478At length, facing Butler, he said in a low and tranquil tone,"John Ramsay, my son, killed, killed in a skirmish?
33478Besides, do you know, sister, I think Curry is a spy?
33478Briers, did you say?
33478But come-- where is Mr. Butler?
33478But hark you, did you hear of a fight lately on Pedee, between some of our people and Marion-- three days ago?"
33478But how comes it that you are a friend of General Washington?"
33478But is it not obvious that the war must inevitably tend to this field?
33478But my father and mother where are they?"
33478But now tell me, after all, are you sure you have guessed me right?
33478But then, how was she to make her way to their apartment, and arouse them, at this hour, from their slumbers?
33478But what are we to do now, Galbraith?"
33478But, Galbraith, tell me the plain up- and- down truth, what brings you and Mr. Butler into these parts?
33478But, Wat, how if they do n''t ride by the Dogwood Spring?"
33478But, may be, you are afraid to go so near to the fort?"
33478But, sister, have n''t I been studying the attack and defence of fortified places, I wonder?
33478Butler rose, and, before he placed himself in the position required, asked:"Where is it you purpose to conduct me?"
33478Butler?"
33478Can nobody tell me?"
33478Can so many men be wrong?"
33478Can you deny this?
33478Can you remember nothing beyond the mere civilities of custom?"
33478Come-- isn''t that a good guess?"
33478Could n''t we, do n''t you think, get as much money, and just as honestly, by hoisting colors with Major Butler?"
33478Could you expect aught else of an honorable gentleman?
33478Did I not, Peppercorn?
33478Did any one see the bearer?"
33478Did he behave handsomely, Mr. Robinson?
33478Did n''t you see him pass up and down before the door, and look in as greedily as if our faces were picture- books for him to read?
33478Did you hear noises in our room?"
33478Did you know that an eel will never pass a streak of moonlight for fear of being found out by the watchers?"
33478Did you not think I would send your cousin Christopher for you?"
33478Did you see a spirit that you look so solemn?"
33478Dimock''s?"
33478Do n''t you know me?"
33478Do n''t you see I have laughed my eyes dim at Watty and his gold?
33478Do n''t you see, from the image in the water, that there''s a fire on the bank?
33478Do they look as if they could n''t laugh at yourn in any sort of scrambling I had a mind to set them to?
33478Do you bear despatches?"
33478Do you hear that?"
33478Do you join the army in Carolina?"
33478Do you know she is making a soldier of me?
33478Do you know that they condescended to let us go through the motions of marching outside the lines?
33478Do you know who that character was?
33478Do you see how cleverly yon light has broke across the whole sky?
33478Do you see that foot?"
33478Do you want to bring perdition and combustion both, down upon the heads of the whole house?"
33478Does he travel alone?"
33478Does she expect me?
33478Else, why should he be left at Mrs. Dimock''s always?
33478For this act of service does he deserve your rebuke?
33478For, you see, the creatures are so helpless, that if a man do n''t take care of them, who would?
33478From all reports he is as brave as"--"As who?"
33478From your looks you belong to the army, and, if that''s true, perhaps you mought be able to tell me how far it is from here to the river?"
33478George?"
33478Give the knaves dinners, plenty of Burgundy and Port, and what signifies an empty head?
33478Go to college, and how is it there?
33478Ha, M''Alpine, is it you who have been standing here all this while?
33478Had I not better pull some roasting- ears from the garden and prepare them?
33478Has n''t Arthur fought many a day and often?
33478Has she received my letter?
33478Hav''n''t we come all this way from home to assist Butler?
33478Hav''n''t you a word for a sunny day and a dry journey?
33478Have I not made my word good?"
33478Have I not reason, dear brother, to be miserable?"
33478Have none left you since I saw you yesterday?"
33478Have not men heard strange whispers in the breeze-- the voice of warning?
33478Have not those, to whom we all looked for champions, turned into mere laggards in the war for freedom?
33478Have not your letters, one after another told me of the sad train in which misfortunes have thickened upon the whole people?
33478Have the precious lives of my brave soldiers been poured out by the d----d rebels?
33478Have they not felt the fanning of the wing that bore the secret messenger through the air?
33478Have they not seen some floating fold of the robe as it passed by?
33478Have we fallen amongst banditti, or do you bear a lawful commission?
33478Have you been running from red coats, or are you hunting of Tories, or are you looking for beeves?
33478Have you heard of Arthur?"
33478Have you joined the rebels?
33478Having gained the Carolinas, should we turn our backs as soon as we have reached the confines of Virginia?
33478He was taken, I think, in the act of firing on a ferry- boat at Cheraw?"
33478His first gaze was directed to Butler, to whom he addressed the common interrogatory,"Travelling in these parts, sir?"
33478Horse Shoe Robinson; Major Butler, where is he, sir?"
33478Horse Shoe Robinson?"
33478Horse Shoe, you''re not thinking of going after them?"
33478Horse Shoe?"
33478Horse Shoe?"
33478How are the wounded men getting along?"
33478How came this here?
33478How can I but fear that the good end is still far off?
33478How can I but feel some weight upon my heart?"
33478How can I think with patience of this Tyrrel when I see these things?"
33478How did you come by all this provender?"
33478How do you feel now?"
33478How do you know I am not one of these very rebels myself?"
33478How does this differ from death upon the field of battle?
33478How far are we from Tarborough?"
33478How far off mought we be from your father''s?"
33478How is it likely I might meet him?"
33478How is she connected with my dream?
33478How many soldiers are on Macdonald''s guard?
33478How might I know him?"
33478How now, old Horse Shoe; are you caught, with your gay master here?
33478How often have I told you that it''s against discipline to chirp above a whisper when you are drawn out?
33478How should women be expected to understand these matters?
33478How soon-- how soon,"she said, with a voice that faltered with the question,"does your duty compel you to leave me?"
33478Hylas, Bell, Blanche, you puppies, where are you?"
33478I forgive you for that, and, to tell you the truth, I hate your----?"
33478I have been told he lives in Virginia, Philip Lindsay, the proprietor of a seat called''The Dove Cote,''a royalist too-- am I right?"
33478I hope you have not omitted it to- day?"
33478I myself live at the Dove Cote, and"--"Then, mayhap, you mought have hearn of one Major Arthur Butler?"
33478I suppose they call you so?"
33478I suspect you are a light- fingered Jack-- a light- fingered Jack-- d''ye hear that, Master Peppercorn?"
33478I trust, madam, you are not seriously ill?
33478I want to know where mought you be from?"
33478If he knows you he knows no good of you, I''m sure?
33478If you saw anything, why did n''t you awake me?"
33478In the devil''s name what brought you back?
33478In the next instant Horse Shoe''s broad hand was laid upon Henry''s shoulder, as he exclaimed,"Why, Master Henry, have you lost your wits?
33478In truth, are you sure of it, man?"
33478Is all well?"
33478Is every man a rogue since you have set up the trade?
33478Is it necessary for his purpose that, under this roof, he should appear in masquerade?
33478Is it possible?
33478Is it thus you would insult the sufferings of an unfortunate enemy, by drumming, under his very ear, your cursed death- notes?
33478Is my name on any part of my baggage or dress?"
33478Is n''t all fixed?
33478Is n''t she an excellent girl, Major Butler?"
33478Is the lady of the house at home?"
33478Is this Horse Shoe?
33478Is your father at home?
33478Is your father yet abed?"
33478Is your sister stirring?"
33478It has no door to it?"
33478It has suited your purpose to play the clown, eh?
33478It was on his way back this morning that he stopped here five minutes, only to give us warning?"
33478Jermyn?"
33478Lindsay?"
33478Lindsay?"
33478Look around you: do you expect me to preserve discipline amongst these wild wood- scourers, with your loud haw- haws to my very teeth?
33478Look here, man, do you see them there legs?
33478May I be allowed to know to whom I am indebted for the honor of this visit?"
33478May I inquire, Miss Lindsay, in what direction you travel?
33478May I know whether he treats with you for my hand in his real or assumed character-- does he permit me to know who he is?"
33478Mr. Musgrove and his folks are safe and well, I hope, and Christopher?"
33478Musgrove?"
33478My house is small and can give scant comfort to many?"
33478My people have withdrawn-- the fire is extinguished-- these inconsiderate lads at liberty: have I answered your wish?"
33478Now, what was it a sign of, but that they and the tories was more industrious that year than we were?"
33478Now, which, do you think, I belong to?
33478O God!--have they not seen the dead arise?
33478Oh, Arthur, do you not remember that these are the thoughts, the very words, which were penned by your own hand, for my especial meditation?
33478On the contrary, does not every obligation of honor impel us to maintain and protect our friends here?
33478On what pretence have we been arrested?"
33478Or could it have been a reality, and was it the girl herself who spoke?
33478Or, after all, is it not an ingenious forgery which has deceived our friend the captain?
33478Ought n''t our friends to be near at hand?"
33478Perchance, you mought have hearn tell of one Horse Shoe Robinson, who lived over here at the Waxhaws?"
33478Pray, sir,"he continued, addressing Henry,"what command have you?"
33478Robinson?"
33478Robinson?"
33478See the man stowed away in the barn; and tell the sentinels never to take their eyes off of him-- do you hear, lieutenant?"
33478Shall I die as a common felon, on a gibbet, or am I to meet a soldier''s doom?"
33478Shall I whisper that to sister Mildred?
33478Should we not have reached the Pacolet before this?"
33478Still, who could have brought it here?"
33478Suppose I tell you that you meddle with matters that do n''t concern you?"
33478Suppose I was to say you was, at this self- same identical time, a sodger of the king''s?
33478Suppose this should n''t be the man?
33478The barking of a house- dog brought out a negro boy, to whom Robinson instantly addressed the query--"Is your master at home?"
33478The man gazed for a moment upon his visitor, and then asked--"Is n''t this Galbraith Robinson?"
33478The object in life nearest to his heart was the happiness of his daughter; and for the accomplishment of this what sacrifice would he not make?
33478The reason why?
33478The whole party taken did you say?"
33478The woman stopped spinning for a moment, and turning her face towards Butler with a scowl, muttered,"How does that matter concern you?"
33478Then may not the chances of war assist me?
33478Then turning to Drummond, he inquired:"Has the grave been thought of?
33478Think you I am the man to win my way through these intricacies?
33478This Arthur Butler"--"Spare that name, father?"
33478This young gentleman, your brother, is he your only attendant?"
33478To what suspicions might the attempt expose her, even from Arthur Butler himself?
33478Wa''n''t she an old fool, Horse Shoe, to walk into this here gum for a piece of dead mutton?
33478Was it in her power to avert the impending disaster which threatened the lives, perhaps, of those who had sought the hospitality of her kinsman?
33478Was n''t I, in your opinion, about the first man in the river?"
33478Was that the sperit?"
33478Well, sir, and pray, what do you guess?"
33478Well, sir, may I be bold to ask, do you know where that worshipful gentleman is to be found?"
33478Well, what do we do but fill another shell with brimstone and hogslard, and just drop it handsomely amongst the lads from the land o''cakes?
33478Were n''t we expecting him along with Horse Shoe, and just at this time?"
33478Were you not yesterday going to beat a man only for asking a harmless question?
33478What accident of fortune had brought her into this, as he must consider it, unhappy relation?
33478What aid may be expected from one so guarded, fettered, watched and powerless?"
33478What are you after in Georgia?
33478What brought you so far out of your latitude?"
33478What can I do with them"--then dropping his voice into a tone of confidential conference, he added,"but follow the fashion and hang them?
33478What can this mean?"
33478What could such tender creatures have done at such a place as the sieging of Charlestown?
33478What did she mean by her palaver about golden guineas in Wat''s pocket, and the English officer?
33478What do you do up here in the woods, when there is work enough for hearty men below?
33478What do you say to the terms?"
33478What does George the Third care for us, with a great world of water between?"
33478What has become of the runaway?"
33478What has befallen?
33478What has happened?"
33478What has he done to provoke this doom?"
33478What have we here?"
33478What have you to do with considering?
33478What have you to say to him?
33478What have you to tell of the rebels?
33478What ho!--thy door undo: Art watching or asleep?"
33478What ill luck brings you here to- night?"
33478What is a sizer''s joke?
33478What is he that you have laid beneath the turf to- night?"
33478What is his name?"
33478What is the name of the river I see across yon field, and where mought we be, just at this time?"
33478What is your opinion of him?"
33478What keeps the simple man dallying shilly- shally at the fence, as if he actually wanted them to take him?
33478What makes you here under Tarleton''s safeguard?
33478What matter have you in hand that brings you here-- and what is your name?"
33478What need of court or trial?"
33478What news from Butler?"
33478What news, old boy?
33478What news?
33478What news?"
33478What next would you have?"
33478What o''clock is it?"
33478What passed, and what have you learned?"
33478What right have you to interrupt us?"
33478What sanctuary would she find under a war- encircled banner, should misfortune assail me, and adversity separate us?
33478What says the proverb?
33478What shall I give you?"
33478What time of day was it when this Butler arrived?"
33478What toy is this that brings a lady to my camp?"
33478What was the number of prisoners you had in charge?"
33478What will satisfy your errand hither, Miss Lindsay?"
33478What wind has blown you up here?
33478What you making such a conbobberation about?
33478What''s afoot that you stir in such a hurry?"
33478What''s the news?"
33478What''s the use of tantrums?
33478When did the man arrive?"
33478When do the Rangers march, Stephen?"
33478When have I been out of danger?
33478When shall we set out?"
33478When was it written?
33478Where are my hounds?
33478Where are our horses, Wat?
33478Where are you, old man?"
33478Where are you?"
33478Where are your waiting- men, my nimble Ganymede?
33478Where could he remove but to Charleston?
33478Where do you think we found Clapper Claw?
33478Where have you been, and where are you going?
33478Where is John Ramsay?"
33478Where is Major Butler, who was lately prisoner with Ferguson?"
33478Where is all that boasted glorification upon which you were disposed to be so eloquent only a week ago?
33478Where is he?
33478Where is my pretty fellow, Clarke?"
33478Where is our guest?
33478Where, do you think, would be the likeliest spot to have it?"
33478Who are with you?
33478Who are you and whence come you?"
33478Who brought it?
33478Who brought it?
33478Who brought the billet, captain?"
33478Who could he be?"
33478Who has attended to the preparations?"
33478Who has conjured up this unreasonable aversion in your mind against him?"
33478Who has waited most patiently for me this morning?
33478Who have you got with you here?"
33478Who have you here, Galbraith?"
33478Who have you here, captain?"
33478Who is John Ramsay?"
33478Who is this with you?"
33478Who let them out of the stable?"
33478Who saw the vidette besides yourself?"
33478Who says they are defenceless with that supple weapon that God has given them?
33478Who shall guard and defend her, whilst I pursue this waylaid road of ambition?
33478Who so welcome there as Philip Lindsay?
33478Who told you I was going after a buck?
33478Who waylays me?
33478Who''d''a thought to find you here amongst the Tories?
33478Why ask me such a question?"
33478Why did you venture, girl?
33478Why do you loiter, when time is so precious?"
33478Why do you neglect this refuge now?"
33478Why should n''t I?
33478Why should not the same game be as well played in Virginia?
33478Why was he here at all-- why did you meet him?"
33478Why will you disappoint so fair a hope?"
33478Why, man, where did you spring from?"
33478Will you for ever nurse a hopeless attachment for a man whom, it must be apparent to yourself, you can never meet again?
33478Will you remember all this?"
33478Will you take a fowling- piece?
33478Would a dozen of you strike one man when he has surrendered?
33478Would there, Michael?"
33478Would you breed a mutiny in the camp?
33478Would you bring us into discredit with our best friends, by your villanous habits of free quarters?"
33478Would you turn off friends from the door with empty stomachs, you mink, and especially with a whole day''s starvation ahead of them?"
33478You can answer for that, Marcus, you shaver, eh?"
33478You did not see Tyrrel this morning, Mildred?"
33478You do n''t even know which party got the better?"
33478You ha''n''t forgot it, major?"
33478You ha''n''t forgot that-- and his drawing his knife on you?"
33478You have had a long ride?"
33478You have hearn of the way of putting out a house on fire by blowing it up with gunpowder?"
33478You have hearn the Major tell of Horse Shoe Robinson?"
33478You have not answered me-- is your father aware of this visit, Miss Lindsay?"
33478You know Williams is out- lying upon the upper branches of the river?
33478You say Wat Adair gave me the same title?"
33478You spoke of your father, madam?
33478You surely could n''t have been at the Dove Cote?"
33478You understand?"
33478You wan''t going to shoot at us, Michael?"
33478You will protect me, Mr. Robinson?
33478Your name, where from, and where are you going?"
33478and does your father allow you to ride in the ranks of the friends of liberty?"
33478and what do you make of the moon?
33478asked Henry of the aide- de- camp, in a half whisper;"and what has he done, that they have hung him?"
33478asked Horse Shoe,"or did you wish me to go into the particulars?"
33478asked Mildred, with interest;"are you from the army?--whence come you?"
33478brother, can this be true?"
33478cried Butler;"of whom are you speaking?"
33478cried Peppercorn;"are you turning boy in your old days, that you must fall to whining because you have lost a turn at play?
33478damn it, man,"exclaimed the commandant,"why do you bring them to me?
33478demanded an officer, who now rode up to Butler,"that you dare to disobey a command in the name of the king?
33478do n''t the newspapers say you are brevetted?
33478do you hear?
33478do you mind me?"
33478ejaculated the mistress of the hovel, as she opened the door;"Bloody Spur, is it you?
33478exclaimed Butler,"is not that St. Jermyn?
33478exclaimed Campbell,"is this the father of the lady who has sought my protection?
33478exclaimed Habershaw;"who could he be?"
33478exclaimed Marion,"where is he?"
33478exclaimed the officer, with astonishment,"is he taken?"
33478exclaimed the old crone from the chimney corner"Who is talking about Horse Shoe Robinson?
33478exclaimed the sergeant, at the same time shaking her hand,"this is my petticoat- sodger; how goes it with you, girl?"
33478have they fired the dwelling?"
33478have you heard aught of harm to him?"
33478he demanded, as he shook the sergeant''s hand,"or have you come alone?
33478he said;"this Major Butler is in the service of Congress?"
33478inquired Horse Shoe, as he turned his gaze in the direction of the bivouac,"or is it these here lightning bugs that keep so busy shooting about?"
33478inquired Mildred;"have you heard your father say, Mary?"
33478is it you?
33478or is it only one of Captain Peter''s old- sodger tricks, letting down bars and leading the young geldings into mischief?
33478pray how have you found that out?"
33478repeated Horse Shoe,"I thought Floyd had these parts under command?"
33478returned Mary with natural emotion,"do you think I am afraid to go as far as the garden in the dark?
33478roared Habershaw,"have the diabolical scoundrels made away with any of my good fellows?
33478said Adair;"where were you born, that you are so mighty nice upon account of a blood- sucking wolf?
33478said Butler, gazing with a melancholy earnestness upon the scene, and speaking scarce above his breath,"is it so?
33478said Henry, inquiringly;"what has happened?"
33478said Mary, alarmed at the idea of a struggle in which her lover''s life might be endangered,"and try to coax him to take our side?"
33478said the mother anxiously,"you would not leave us to- night, John?"
33478screamed Habershaw, almost choked with choler,"dare you speak to me so?
33478shouted the voice of a man from the neighborhood of the mill:"who flies so fast?"
33478sister, your eyes red with tears?"
33478the child has not been hurt?"
33478to make war upon their rightful king, against his laws and throne?
33478to threaten your life, your sister''s and mine, unless we bowed to this impious idol of democracy, which they have set up-- this Washington?"
33478to visit Clarke, eh?
33478was it that you was listening too?"
33478what are you about?"
33478what makes you so late?
33478what shall I do?"
33478when, and for what?
33478where away so fast, Wat?"
33478who are you?"
33478who goes there?
33478who goes there?"
33478who''s at home?
33478why do you stop?"
33478will you risk our lives with your infernal broils?
33478would you purchase weapons for those clowns to enable them to shoot down his majesty''s liege subjects?
33478you''ve hearn of him, and know something, mayhap, of them that were on the look- out for him?"
