12044 | And now, my dear friend, what does all thou hast said in many pages amount to? |

12044 | But, Is it? |
12044 | Can you believe that the soul which looked out of those eyes can be quenched in endless night? |

12044 | He said,''And yet it is_ audaciously_ asked: What has the North to do with slavery?'' |
12044 | I 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? |
12044 | I asked what had made them so depraved? |

12044 | In one she asks:"Didst thou know that great efforts are making in the House of Delegates in Virginia to abolish slavery?" |

12044 | In what did it consist? |
12044 | Indeed, I should like to know what I have done yet? |
12044 | Is it any wonder that she tried to grasp too much at first? |
12044 | Is it not forgetting the great and dreadful wrongs of the slave in a selfish crusade against some paltry grievance of our own? |
12044 | Is it right that I should separate myself from a people whom I have loved so tenderly, and who have been the helpers of my joy? |
12044 | Is 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? |
12044 | Is it such an exhibition of slavery and prejudice as will call down_ his_ blessing on thy head? |
12044 | Is n''t this cheering news? |
12044 | More stones were thrown at the windows, more glass crashed, but she only paused to ask:--"What is a mob? |
12044 | My story does n''t sound Southerny, does it? |

12044 | O sister, shall we ever wash our robes so white in the blood of the Lamb as to be clean enough to enter that pure and holy Temple of the Most High? |
12044 | Shall woman refuse her response to the call? |
12044 | She asked me if I thought it wrong to plant geraniums? |
12044 | She could, she says, think of nothing else; and the question continually before her was,"What can I do? |
12044 | She thus writes to a friend:--"Didst thou ever feel as if thou hadst no home on earth, except in the bosom of Jesus? |
12044 | Still the question was ever before her:"Is there nothing that I can do?" |
12044 | Thanks be to Him, I have not yet felt like complaining; nay, verily, the song of my heart is, Who so blest as I? |
12044 | The master burst out laughing, and exclaimed:"Why, are you a nigger too?" |
12044 | The meeting had been gathered some time when I arose, and after repeating our Lord''s thrice- repeated query to Peter,''Lovest thou me?'' |
12044 | The only answer she received was:"You are a girl; what do you want of Latin and Greek and philosophy? |
12044 | The question naturally arises: if a little, why not more? |
12044 | To his anxious question,''Pray, what is it?'' |
12044 | Was 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? |

12044 | Weld, of more than two hours, on the question,''What is slavery?'' |

12044 | What can I do?" |
12044 | What does brother Thomas think will be the issue of the political contest? |
12044 | What dost thou think of some of_ them walking_ two, four, six, and eight miles to attend our meetings?" |

12044 | What meaneth that loud acclaim with which they hail it? |
12044 | What will you run a tilt at next?" |
12044 | What would the breaking of every window be? |
12044 | Which of these things is to be done next year, and which the year after? |
12044 | Who shall dare to say when and where the echoes of her soul died away? |
12044 | Why ca n''t you have eyes to see this? |
12044 | Why, then, let me ask, is it necessary for you to enter the lists as controversial writers on this question? |

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

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

26240 | Excuse-- me-- for-- asking-- but am I alive? |
26240 | For what purpose, sir? |
26240 | For what? |
26240 | Forty acres and a mule for every black man-- why was I ever born white? 26240 Friends of yours?" |
26240 | Got yer deed, is yer, ter stop me payin''my missy her rent fum de lan''my chillun wucks? 26240 Has Aunt Cindy come yet?" |
26240 | Have I, too, sinned and come short? |
26240 | Have n''t you heard what happened to his Honour last night? |
26240 | Have we not had enough bloodshed? 26240 Have you been instructed to act under my orders?" |
26240 | Have you let him see a preacher before putting him through? |
26240 | Have you ordered a barber to shave this man''s head? |
26240 | He is very popular in Piedmont? |
26240 | Honest Injun, here on the sacred altar of the princess? |
26240 | How could a Southerner discover this, if your own children did n''t know it? |
26240 | How dare you strike that man, you devil? |
26240 | How did you escape so soon? |
26240 | How did you rescue him? |
26240 | How do I feel? |
26240 | How do you account for such powers? |
26240 | How ole is you? |
26240 | How on earth did you meet him? |
26240 | How''s my little sis? |
26240 | I suppose you issued an order silencing him from the ministry? |
26240 | I thought the Union League a patriotic and social organization? |
26240 | I thought you favoured the execution of the leaders of the rebellion? |
26240 | I wonder if you know how I love you? 26240 I wonder if you know how important?" |
26240 | I wonder whose will be the lucky name some day within it? |
26240 | If I have n''t suffered in this war, who has? |
26240 | If the negro were not here would we allow him to land? |
26240 | In either event I go to a warmer climate, eh, doctor? |
26240 | Is dat de deed? |
26240 | Is n''t she God''s message to me and to the world? |
26240 | Is n''t she at home? |
26240 | Is n''t that enough? |
26240 | Is n''t your aunt, Mrs. Farnham, the president of a club? |
26240 | Is not the North equally responsible for slavery? 26240 Is that all?" |
26240 | Is that the theatre? |
26240 | Is that the way you escort prisoners before a court? |
26240 | Is there no other way? 26240 Is yer er member er de Union League?" |
26240 | Is you voted to- day? |
26240 | Jeannie, you''re making an idol of her----"Why not? 26240 K. K. K.""Are you an officer of the Union League?" |
26240 | Let''s see some of the goods, Aleck-- are they first class? |
26240 | Look here, Ben Cameron, have you another girl somewhere you''re flirting with? |
26240 | Look here, Stoneman; have you some deep personal motive in this vengeance on the South? 26240 Love your enemies?" |
26240 | May I help you? |
26240 | May I write it out in full-- Margaret Cameron-- Philip Stoneman? |
26240 | May I? |
26240 | Mr. Alexander Lenoir, sah-- is I yo''uncle, nigger? |
26240 | Negro suffrage do n''t matter? |
26240 | Nonsense, father-- you are possessed by an idea which has become an insane mania----"Will you respect my wishes? |
26240 | Now what kind of a dog did I say you are? |
26240 | Now, 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?" |
26240 | Old Aleck still at home and getting drunk as usual? |
26240 | Perhaps you will present my card, then-- say that I am at his service, and let him appoint the time at which I shall return? |
26240 | Shall I bring the boys? |
26240 | Sold for taxes? |
26240 | Suppose Pickett had charged one hour earlier at Gettysburg? 26240 The preacher wo n''t be here?" |
26240 | Then there''s hope for me? |
26240 | Then why not begin at home this vision, and give the stricken South a moment to rise? |
26240 | Then you do n''t believe this twaddle about equality? |
26240 | Then 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? |
26240 | Then you will write the President a letter asking that they be allowed to see Doctor Cameron? |
26240 | Then you''ll fight and go back to her with me? |
26240 | Then, how did you know I am a Southerner? |
26240 | They say the rat labels were in a majority in this precinct-- how was that? |
26240 | To the theatre? |
26240 | Tryin''ter vote, is yer? |
26240 | Well, I''m glad of that-- my mare all right? |
26240 | Well, Mrs. Cameron, what did you think of the President? |
26240 | Well, 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?" |
26240 | Well, upon my soul,said Ben, taking a deep breath and looking at Elsie,"he''s the whole thing, is n''t he?" |
26240 | Well? |
26240 | What ail it? |
26240 | What ails my ideal? |
26240 | What are you doing to him? |
26240 | What can we do, my darling? |
26240 | What cote? 26240 What did he say to you?" |
26240 | What did he say? |
26240 | What did they say to you? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you mean? |
26240 | What do you see? |
26240 | What do you think of it, Colonel Cameron? |
26240 | What does it mean? |
26240 | What does it mean? |
26240 | What does it sound like? |
26240 | What does that mean? |
26240 | What else? |
26240 | What happened there yesterday? |
26240 | What is it, honey? |
26240 | What is it, sir? |
26240 | What is it? |
26240 | What is the latest news? |
26240 | What must I call him? 26240 What on earth are you going to do, sir?" |
26240 | What right had you under the Constitution to declare war against a''sovereign''State? 26240 What shall I play?" |
26240 | What then? |
26240 | What will we do if Stanton arrests you one of these fine days? |
26240 | What will you give me if I tease you about Margaret right before her? |
26240 | What you doin''here, sah? |
26240 | What''s that? |
26240 | What''s the matter in there? |
26240 | What''s the use of my expressing an opinion when you have already settled it? |
26240 | What? |
26240 | When are you going? |
26240 | Where is Grant? |
26240 | Where is Margaret? |
26240 | Where is Stanton? |
26240 | Where is he? |
26240 | Where on earth did you find them? |
26240 | Who are you? |
26240 | Who said I was defeated? 26240 Who said I was going to die?" |
26240 | Who said my lover was dumb? |
26240 | Who''yer talkin to, sah? 26240 Why are such men intrusted with power?" |
26240 | Why did n''t you walk beside him? |
26240 | Why is it, sweetheart, that a girl will persist in admiring brass buttons? |
26240 | Why not out with it? |
26240 | Why should I be distressed for one, an enemy, among these thousands who have fallen? |
26240 | Why so serious to- night? |
26240 | Why, did n''t you know that my parents were Virginians, and that I was born in Kentucky? |
26240 | Why, what''s all this, Aleck? |
26240 | Why? |
26240 | Why? |
26240 | Will he live? |
26240 | Will it be very difficult to reach the President? |
26240 | Will the President be there, Captain? |
26240 | Will you come to the hotel before they arrive? |
26240 | Will 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? |
26240 | Will you grant my prayer? |
26240 | Will you hear the prayer of a broken- hearted mother of the South, who has lost four sons in General Lee''s army? |
26240 | Will you join us now, sir? 26240 Will you never breathe it to a soul if I do?" |
26240 | Will you tell? |
26240 | Will you vote? |
26240 | With apologies to the dogs----"Apologies to the dogs----"And why does your master honour the kennel with his presence to- day? |
26240 | With thousands of your own people disfranchised? |
26240 | Wo n''t you give this all up for my sake? |
26240 | Would you consider an offer of twenty dollars an acre? |
26240 | Would you have let him? |
26240 | Yet may we not train him? |
26240 | You are determined to oppose negro suffrage? |
26240 | You are initiating the negroes into the League and teaching them the new catechism? |
26240 | You could have told that story only to the one man whom you love-- is it not true? |
26240 | You do n''t mean it? |
26240 | You doan b''long ter no s''iety, what yer git in dat line ter vote for? |
26240 | You have just come from the Camerons? |
26240 | You hear''bout de great sassieties de Gubment''s fomentin''in dis country? |
26240 | You refuse to heed the wishes of Congress? |
26240 | You remember the young man I pardoned for a similar offence in''62, about which Stanton made such a fuss? |
26240 | You will let me kiss you? 26240 You will let me see him and thank him the moment he comes?" |
26240 | You will not forget to tell him for me? |
26240 | You wo n''t mind if I give you a few lessons in history, will you? |
26240 | You''ll tell me all your love affairs? |
26240 | You_ do n''t_ approve of such injustice? |
26240 | Your decision is unalterable? |
26240 | Your horse is a good one, my child? |
26240 | Your land, Uncle Aleck? 26240 _ Almost_ to a man?" |
26240 | A battle with United States troops now might mean ruin for the South----""But you will save him?" |
26240 | Aleck recovered his dignity and demanded angrily:"Does yer belong ter de Heroes ob Americky?" |
26240 | And yet you press this crime upon a brave and generous foe?" |
26240 | Any further ecclesiastical orders?" |
26240 | Are our skirts free? |
26240 | Are the Night Hawks ready to submit their evidence?" |
26240 | Are there any others?" |
26240 | Are you given to visions?" |
26240 | As 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?" |
26240 | Blanched with horror, the mother sprang before Marion with a shivering cry:"What do you want?" |
26240 | But may it not all come out right in the end? |
26240 | By what authority have you appointed military governors in the''sovereign''States of Virginia, Tennessee, and Louisiana? |
26240 | Can Barbarism go Further?" |
26240 | Can a man keep his face straight in such a world? |
26240 | Can any one undo this pardon now?" |
26240 | Can he control Stanton? |
26240 | Can human flesh endure it? |
26240 | Can we assimilate the negro? |
26240 | Can you conceive the desolation of_ my_ heart? |
26240 | Can you help me?" |
26240 | Could he win her? |
26240 | Could it be possible they had ventured too near the brink and fallen over? |
26240 | Could negro blood degrade such stock? |
26240 | Dat ole army cote?" |
26240 | Did he aim to make this woman the arbiter of its social life, and her ethics the limit of its moral laws? |
26240 | Did you say--_Phil_?" |
26240 | Did you say_ Marse_ Ben? |
26240 | Do you know Mr. Johnson? |
26240 | Do you own a store?" |
26240 | Dr. Cameron turned pale, and trembling with excitement, asked his friend:"Can that man pass such measures, and the Governor sign them?" |
26240 | Elsie saw the look of helpless appeal in the mother''s face and hurried forward to meet her:"Is this Mrs. Cameron, of South Carolina?" |
26240 | Had you noticed it, Margaret?" |
26240 | Has not the South lost all? |
26240 | Have not the Southern people paid the full penalty of all the crimes of war? |
26240 | Have you been sent to place these irons on me?" |
26240 | Hawk, as Dundreary, was speaking his lines and looking directly at the President instead of at the audience:"Society, eh? |
26240 | He can not pretend that these shackles are needed to hold a weak unarmed man in prison, guarded by two hundred soldiers?" |
26240 | He gasped for breath, sank into his seat, looked around, and said:"Will you close the door?" |
26240 | He 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? |
26240 | He took Ben''s place just before the guards were exchanged----""Phil!--Phil?" |
26240 | His old master transfixed him with his eyes, and in a voice, whose tones gripped him by the throat, said:"How dare you?" |
26240 | His very presence before them an open defiance of love and life and death, would not his word ring omnipotent when the verdict was rendered? |
26240 | How I''ve dreamed of your future? |
26240 | How can a human being stand it? |
26240 | How can a man live in this world and keep his face straight?" |
26240 | How do we account for sleep and dreams, or second sight, or the day dreams which we call visions?" |
26240 | How do you like it?" |
26240 | How long, O Lord? |
26240 | I never saw a female idiot in my life-- did you?" |
26240 | I thought this a new thing under the sun?" |
26240 | I wish to take you to the theatre to- night, if you will go?" |
26240 | In your soul of souls you do n''t believe in the equality of man if the man under comparison be a negro?" |
26240 | Instinctively he stopped, surveyed the man from head to foot and asked:"What''s the trouble?" |
26240 | Is civilization a patent cloak with which law- tinkers can wrap an animal and make him a king?" |
26240 | Is dat de straight ticket?" |
26240 | Is n''t he handsome? |
26240 | Is n''t it the distant beat of horses''hoofs?" |
26240 | Is not God''s vengeance enough? |
26240 | Is the respondent, Andrew Johnson, guilty or not guilty of a high misdemeanor as charged in this article?" |
26240 | Is you er hero?" |
26240 | It 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?" |
26240 | May I go?" |
26240 | May I, again?" |
26240 | May not the black man speedily emerge? |
26240 | McAllister?" |
26240 | Might not an ape improve it? |
26240 | Must I say''Your Excellency?''" |
26240 | Must we wait in line?" |
26240 | No? |
26240 | Now that they have taken me at my word, shall I betray them by an ignoble revenge? |
26240 | Now that we have won, and established for all time its unity, shall we stultify ourselves by declaring we were wrong? |
26240 | Now, will you go?" |
26240 | On the brink of the precipice, the mother trembled, paused, drew back, and gasped:"Are you not afraid, my dear?" |
26240 | Our party has lost its first President, but gained a god-- why mourn?" |
26240 | Over the solemn trembling silence the voice of the Chief Justice rang:"Senator Ross, how say you? |
26240 | Phil looked at the freshly cut circle and laughed:"I wonder if Marion or her mother did that?" |
26240 | President?" |
26240 | Shall they return to rule?" |
26240 | She attempted to rise, and cried in rage:"How dare you, black brutes?" |
26240 | Stanton?" |
26240 | Stoneman snorted in disgust:"Will you ask the Mayor to call to see me at once?" |
26240 | Stoneman''s face was a thundercloud as he scrambled to his feet and glared at Aleck:"_ Marse_ Ben? |
26240 | Suppose the_ Monitor_ had arrived one hour later at Hampton Roads? |
26240 | Tell 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?" |
26240 | That North Carolina and other waste territories of the United States are unfit to associate with civilized communities?" |
26240 | The Lieutenant approached and remonstrated:"Why compel me to add the indignity of personal violence? |
26240 | The doctor-- has-- not-- concealed-- his-- true-- condition-- from-- me?" |
26240 | The election judge straightened himself up with great dignity:"What wuz de rapscallion doin''?" |
26240 | They began to cry, and he said with a smile:"Come now-- do you love me?" |
26240 | To blockade a port? |
26240 | To 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? |
26240 | To declare slaves free? |
26240 | To invade one for coercion? |
26240 | To suspend the writ of_ habeas corpus_? |
26240 | Turning to Dr. Cameron, he asked:"Why should they put a brute like this in charge of the poor?" |
26240 | Was Sherman''s march a picnic? |
26240 | Was he too late? |
26240 | Was his the mysterious arm back of Stanton? |
26240 | Was she cold and incapable of love? |
26240 | We can yet appeal to the conscience and the brain of our brethren of a common race?" |
26240 | Were they not the children of her soul in that larger, finer world of which she had dreamed and sung? |
26240 | Were you there?" |
26240 | What could it mean? |
26240 | What do you know against him?" |
26240 | What does your lover think of it all? |
26240 | What else matters? |
26240 | What have I done?" |
26240 | What is it?" |
26240 | What more do you want?" |
26240 | What shall I do?" |
26240 | What ud yer do widout er man lak me enjued wid de sperit en de power ter splain tings?" |
26240 | What will happen in the South? |
26240 | What''s that?" |
26240 | When did you ever know me to deny my help to a weak man or woman in distress?" |
26240 | When did you get it?" |
26240 | Whence came this miracle of influence about him, this gift of intimacy? |
26240 | Who knows? |
26240 | Who''s he?" |
26240 | Why beat your wings against the thing that is and must be? |
26240 | Why should she give them up now for brutal politics? |
26240 | Why trim the hedge and lie about it? |
26240 | Will you be kind enough to explain to this court what has happened to you lately to so miraculously change your manners?" |
26240 | Would Congress follow the lead of the President or challenge him to mortal combat? |
26240 | Would Grant, the Commanding General of the Army, dare protest? |
26240 | Would not his name be a terror for every man and woman born under Southern skies? |
26240 | Would the Southerners be allowed to enter? |
26240 | Yet-- would he dare? |
26240 | You did n''t refuse Henry Grier because you loved Ben Cameron-- now, did you?" |
26240 | You do n''t approve of such things, I know?" |
26240 | You do n''t mind black cats, do you?" |
26240 | You do n''t mind jay- birds, do you?" |
26240 | You know Margaret, too, do n''t you?" |
26240 | You met him in Washington, did n''t you?" |
26240 | You understand?" |
26240 | You wo n''t let anybody hurt him?" |
26240 | Your 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?" |
26240 | and from what secret cave will this whirlwind come?" |
26240 | said Ben;"if you ca n''t ratify with a rat, I''d like to know why?" |
26240 | when 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? |
15591 | Absurd notion? |
15591 | Against Mr. Jelnik? 15591 Ai n''t it the truth, though?" |
15591 | Alicia Gaines, do you realize I am thirty- six years old? |
15591 | All that? |
15591 | Am I a type, Woman- in- the- Woods? |
15591 | Am I to be flouted thus by a piece of pink- and- whiteness just escaped from the nursery pap- spoon? |
15591 | An''you know ouah flouah, Miss Sophy? |
15591 | And 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? |
15591 | And 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?" |
15591 | And now that you have found him,said Mr. Jelnik,"had n''t you better let me help you set him up?" |
15591 | And now, may I ask you one or two plain questions, please? |
15591 | And now,he asked,"are you strong enough to come with me?" |
15591 | And people? |
15591 | And was he really guilty? |
15591 | And 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? |
15591 | And we''re the best of all stimulants, are n''t we, Sophy? |
15591 | And what, then, is_ this_? |
15591 | And who was playing it, Uncle Adam? |
15591 | And yet you''re going to marry him, Sophy? |
15591 | And-- The Author? |
15591 | Answer my question, please: Do you imagine you love him, Sophy? |
15591 | Are n''t you forgetting your profession? |
15591 | Are n''t you rather forgetting the Watcher in the Dark? 15591 Are we impertinent children to be thus lightly dismissed? |
15591 | Are you trying to rival the Seven Sleepers? |
15591 | At least,said Alicia, laughing,"_ he_''ll never live to be an old woman, will he, Sophy?" |
15591 | At my own price? |
15591 | Because we are going to be real friends, you and I; are we not? |
15591 | Because why? |
15591 | Boarding- house? 15591 But The Jinnee?" |
15591 | But 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? |
15591 | But we were speaking of The Author: may I ask how The Author appeals to you as a human being, Miss Hopkins? |
15591 | But we''re good friends; are n''t we, Sophy? |
15591 | But what is one girl''s affection to a man born to be loved by women? |
15591 | But where shall I begin now? |
15591 | But why have I been sent for? 15591 But why, may I ask, did you choose such a situation for the statue?" |
15591 | But,he suggested, brightening,"could n''t you wish to be my own dear little girl, instead?" |
15591 | But-- I saw--"You saw him kiss me on the cheek? 15591 By whom, then, shall I be guided? |
15591 | Ca n''t you? 15591 Comes again? |
15591 | Could we have it in your delightful library? |
15591 | Dat''s what I axin yit: who playin''Mis''Scarlett''s pianner when dey was n''t nobody in de house? |
15591 | Did 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? |
15591 | Did n''t you have a nice time? |
15591 | Did n''t you just hear me tell you I meant to keep on being friends with you? |
15591 | Did you have time to make out that grocery list? 15591 Did you hear it, too?" |
15591 | Do I not also pay? |
15591 | Do n''t you? 15591 Do you know what they''re saying in Hyndsville now? |
15591 | Do you know,--The Author was plainly pleased--"that that is one of the very nicest things that''s ever been said to me? |
15591 | Do you know,he asked,"if that man Jelnik is coming to- night? |
15591 | Do you know,he spoke in a plaintive voice--"that I have n''t had any lunch? |
15591 | Do you like a pipe? |
15591 | Do you think I''ll make him a good wife, Sophy? |
15591 | Do you think you are able to walk now? |
15591 | Do you use pillows? |
15591 | Do you want to go? |
15591 | Doctor 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? |
15591 | Does she care for anybody else? |
15591 | Does this astound you? 15591 Eh?" |
15591 | Even in the bowels of the earth? |
15591 | Exactly: where did I put it? |
15591 | For me? 15591 For_ us_?" |
15591 | Found what? |
15591 | Fräulein, may one smoke? |
15591 | Good God, do n''t you understand that I love you? |
15591 | Had either the Doctor or the foreigner any real claim or right to this property, do you know? |
15591 | He has need of me? |
15591 | How else, pray, shall one run one''s house with any degree of system? |
15591 | How much did you say was in the bank? |
15591 | How old should you imagine me? |
15591 | How should I know? |
15591 | I 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? |
15591 | I''m supposed to be somewhat of an old stick myself: why not try me, instead of the broom? |
15591 | I? 15591 I?" |
15591 | If Richard were the thief, to whom did he give the loot? 15591 Is Alicia offended?" |
15591 | Is he? |
15591 | Is 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?" |
15591 | Is it? |
15591 | Is n''t she? |
15591 | Is n''t there something I can do for you, doctor? |
15591 | Is that so? |
15591 | Is this true? |
15591 | Jelnik? 15591 Joke? |
15591 | Joke? |
15591 | Leetchy,the doctor asked, when the mollified Miss Hopkins had departed,"why did Martha go off grinning?" |
15591 | Lunch? |
15591 | May I ask questions? |
15591 | May one be permitted to congratulate you, upon your indubitably dramatic instinct? |
15591 | Me? 15591 Miss Smith,"began The Author abruptly,"did you know this house was built by British and French master masons? |
15591 | Miss Smith,whispered Miss Emmeline, under cover of their laughter,"may I have a word with you?" |
15591 | Miss Sophy, you know we- all''s sugah? |
15591 | Missises,said the old man, anxiously,"you- all ai n''t meanin''ter stay hyuh to- night, is you?" |
15591 | Mr. Jelnik, I ask you plainly: Why do I find Miss Smith here at this hour? 15591 Mr. Johnson? |
15591 | My dear girl, do n''t you realize that this thing is n''t all beer and skittles? |
15591 | Near neighbor of yours? |
15591 | No,Alicia doubted,"this is not true: it ca n''t be!--Sophy, do you see it, too?" |
15591 | No? 15591 No? |
15591 | No? 15591 No? |
15591 | Not sure? |
15591 | Oh, is that you, at last, Sophy? |
15591 | Oh, what have I done? |
15591 | Oh, 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?'' |
15591 | Restless?--you? 15591 Shall I bind your hand for you?" |
15591 | Shall you go on with the search? |
15591 | Shall you, Richard? |
15591 | She had Hynds relatives, then? 15591 Should n''t you?" |
15591 | Should you? |
15591 | Something over the hills and far away? 15591 Sophronisba Two,"he asked, we being alone in the library,"what have I done to offend Alicia?" |
15591 | Sophy darlin'', I''m deplorably young, am I not? |
15591 | Sophy, Peacocks and Ivory is a very wonderful person, is n''t he? |
15591 | Sophy, is it-- Jelnik? |
15591 | Sophy,Miss Emmeline said, smiling,"I do n''t see anything left for me to do but come back to Hyndsville, do you?" |
15591 | Sophy,he said, huskily,"what does she see in me? |
15591 | Sophy,said she, some time later,"is n''t it just possible you misunderstood Mr. Jelnik? |
15591 | Sounds like a stark raving, does n''t it? 15591 Temper?" |
15591 | The master is not ill, then? |
15591 | Then you have experienced it, too? |
15591 | There is another man? |
15591 | Think I''d make a woman a reasonably good husband? |
15591 | Uncle Adam,Alicia asked, while he was drying himself before the blazing logs,"Uncle Adam, who''s the violinist around here?" |
15591 | Was it because you have ceased to care for Alicia, already? |
15591 | Was there a Hynds woman named Helen? 15591 We are n''t ever going to be sorry we came here-- together-- are we, Sophy? |
15591 | We do lead you a pretty dance, do n''t we, dear John Bull? |
15591 | We have a cat? |
15591 | Well, and what did you do? |
15591 | Well, what do folks say? |
15591 | Well? |
15591 | Well? |
15591 | Well? |
15591 | What are you doing here, if you please? |
15591 | What are you doing here? |
15591 | What are you thinking of, Sophy? |
15591 | What are_ you_ going to do about the lady you are really in love with? |
15591 | What day, to be exact? |
15591 | What do you propose to do? |
15591 | What do you want to know for? |
15591 | What happened last Wednesday to make you think of asking me to marry you? |
15591 | What have you found? |
15591 | What is it you know about brains? 15591 What is the matter? |
15591 | What was Johnson talking to you about, that you both looked so earnest? |
15591 | What was de text to- day, Miss Sophy? 15591 What''s his game, anyhow? |
15591 | What, man, you too? 15591 What,"says he,"a Hynds woman painting of strange folks their faces? |
15591 | What? 15591 What?" |
15591 | What_ do_ I look like, then? |
15591 | When can we have them, please? |
15591 | When is The Author coming back? 15591 Which of you is Miss Smith?" |
15591 | Who are you that prowl about other peoples''yards like a thievish cat? |
15591 | Who is it? 15591 Who knows what any woman knows or thinks? |
15591 | Who shot off that rooster? |
15591 | Who talks of a Watcher in the Dark? |
15591 | Who would have thought the old man to have had so much blood in him? |
15591 | Who''d suspect this fellow of volcanic possibilities? |
15591 | Who''s talking about boarders? |
15591 | Who, me? |
15591 | Whut foh yuh come by mah field, lil w''ite lady? |
15591 | Whut yuh doin''hyuh, w''ite lady? |
15591 | Why ca n''t you? |
15591 | Why did n''t you ask Alicia? |
15591 | Why did n''t you find out? |
15591 | Why did the sahiba follow when I showed her a broken coin? |
15591 | Why do n''t you interview Judge Gatchell? |
15591 | Why do n''t you rap on one of the tables,I suggested ironically,"and call up your high spirits to do your bidding?" |
15591 | Why have you come? 15591 Why not ask him to let you see them, then?" |
15591 | Why not? 15591 Why should n''t you make poetry if you feel like it?" |
15591 | Why should you? 15591 Without disturbing a Watcher in the Dark?" |
15591 | Writing another paper on''The Ironic Note in Chivalry''? 15591 You are sure there is none to see? |
15591 | You are wondering where we are? |
15591 | You do n''t want Hynds House? 15591 You doubt this? |
15591 | You have been in a secret room?--here in Hynds House? |
15591 | You inherited this property from an old aunt, I believe? |
15591 | You mean he should marry some great lady, some dazzling beauty? 15591 You never cared for Geddes?" |
15591 | You see, Sophy, I never once dreamed--"That he cared for me? 15591 You wo n''t, then?" |
15591 | You''re going to marry me, then, Sophy? |
15591 | You''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?'' |
15591 | A house, a fence, a barn, even a sign- board? |
15591 | A text- book, a title, a will, a deed, a business letter? |
15591 | Achmet, there is no stranger around?" |
15591 | After an astounded moment:"Is n''t this rather sudden?" |
15591 | Again I ask you, what are you doing here? |
15591 | Ai n''t you nevah had no relations to fight wid, ma''ams?" |
15591 | Alicia all right, too?" |
15591 | Am I not also a good dog?" |
15591 | And after I have taken Hynds House, what of you? |
15591 | And 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? |
15591 | And did you dream that somebody called you-- and held you-- and would n''t let you go?" |
15591 | And for goodness''sake what do you think that woman wore over it for a traveling- cloak? |
15591 | And may I give you a cup of tea?" |
15591 | And she added blandly:"Four o''clock, did you say? |
15591 | And 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?" |
15591 | And then he asked, abruptly:"Has Jelnik called yet?--gray house on the other side of you.--No? |
15591 | And were we-- she hesitated-- were we going to be regular communicants? |
15591 | And what happened then?" |
15591 | And what of Alicia?" |
15591 | And where did you put it?" |
15591 | And why have you come near Hynds House, at this hour of the day? |
15591 | And will they?" |
15591 | And with unfeigned amazement:"In the name of high heaven, what is Jelnik''s son doing_ here_?" |
15591 | And-- and was that all?" |
15591 | Another one? |
15591 | Anyhow, she preferred you to any of us, did n''t she?" |
15591 | Are n''t you grateful, little god, that Sophy and I came to Hynds House?" |
15591 | Are n''t you rather overdoing things, Leetchy?" |
15591 | Are your meal hours fixed, even as the laws of the Medes and the Persians?" |
15591 | As to your behavior to Miss Smith--""_ My_ behavior to Miss Smith?" |
15591 | At the last, who but Him of Galilee shall speak for us? |
15591 | Besides, he--""Wants Alicia? |
15591 | But I could n''t take you offhand into my confidence, could I? |
15591 | But just let Mary Magdalen roll out an unctious,"Whah is yuh, Beaut''ful Dawg?" |
15591 | But may n''t I congratulate_ you_ upon knowing him? |
15591 | But since when did Ariel take to tobacco?" |
15591 | But stay: surely your hair is arranged differently? |
15591 | But what about The Author? |
15591 | But what''s the odds, when every male being in sight would rush to her aid with an umbrella? |
15591 | But you were about to propose to Miss Smith in due form, were you not? |
15591 | But, good heavens, why? |
15591 | But-- isn''t this just a bit sudden? |
15591 | By the way, did I merely imagine I heard a violin last night?" |
15591 | By the way, would you mind addressing me as''Nicholas''? |
15591 | Ca n''t miracles happen for Beautiful Dogs as well as for other folks, when times and seasons are propitious? |
15591 | Carn''t spell''saloon''? |
15591 | Confound you, Jelnik!--why do n''t you do something? |
15591 | Dear Miss Emmeline, would it be too much to ask you to keep this to yourself, for a while at least? |
15591 | Dear 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?" |
15591 | Dear and lovely as she is, she could n''t make him happy, either-- Don''t you think I''m a fool, Sophy?" |
15591 | Did I know where he was? |
15591 | Did I know who designed it? |
15591 | Did a faint, faint shade of regret flit over the parchment- like face? |
15591 | Did he tell you anything about Richard?" |
15591 | Did n''t I tell you you''re not to think of what''s happened? |
15591 | Did n''t he ask you?" |
15591 | Did n''t one of the Dampiers murder somebody, or something like that? |
15591 | Did n''t we_ know_? |
15591 | Did you find me, over there?" |
15591 | Did you know that Queen Victoria, when she was a child, had the same virtuous inclination? |
15591 | Did you think I would haggle with you?" |
15591 | Do n''t you hear dear old Boston calling you, Sophy? |
15591 | Do n''t you understand? |
15591 | Do n''t you understand?" |
15591 | Do you feel able to go on?" |
15591 | Do you insist upon a sacrosanct meal hour? |
15591 | Do you know what I think of you, Mr. Jelnik? |
15591 | Do you like parrots? |
15591 | Do you think I''m good enough for_ her_, Sophy?" |
15591 | Do you understand me, Miss Smith? |
15591 | Does Jelnik care, do you think?" |
15591 | Does she know, or suspect? |
15591 | Doubt_ Sophy_? |
15591 | For heaven''s sake? |
15591 | For instance, do you sleep with all your windows open?" |
15591 | Go away from Hyndsville, leaving this friendlier, pleasanter, happier life behind? |
15591 | Good heavens, Alicia, however did you get such a notion? |
15591 | Had I not promised, smilingly indeed, but sincerely, to answer that call whenever and however it should come? |
15591 | Have n''t you got on a new frock to- night? |
15591 | Have you ever in all your life seen a house that needed so much done to it as this house does? |
15591 | Have you ever known an old lady who thought herself captivating? |
15591 | Have you ever known any old man who did n''t think he could be if he wished?" |
15591 | Have you lost your senses? |
15591 | Having him here in Hynds House almost justifies turning the old place into a boarding- house, does n''t it?" |
15591 | He added, hastily:"In the meantime, I hope you have n''t fared too badly in this mildewed jail?" |
15591 | He added, thoughtfully,"Curious notion; is n''t it?" |
15591 | He strolled over, hands in pockets, and looking down at grubbing us, asked politely:"Making a garden?" |
15591 | He walked up to his cousin and looked straight in his eyes:"Richard, you''re not such a fool as to dare doubt_ us_?" |
15591 | He was here, then?" |
15591 | Here in this house? |
15591 | How about''The Effect of the Pre- Raphaelites upon the Feeble- minded''? |
15591 | How could we two be real friends, when the balance between us was so uneven, so unequal? |
15591 | How could you win my virgin heart, Yet leave that heart to break? |
15591 | How do I know? |
15591 | How do you like his secretary?" |
15591 | How long has he been here?" |
15591 | How many blankets?" |
15591 | How much had Judge Gatchell seen fit to tell us? |
15591 | How shall I repay you? |
15591 | How you- all comin''on? |
15591 | I asked;"in God''s name, what?" |
15591 | I have dug from the earth the leetle boy of stone-- you know him,_ hein_? |
15591 | I have to live here all the rest of my life, have n''t I?" |
15591 | I hope it is really true that there is an Influence in Hynds House? |
15591 | I never knew before that men had legs like that, did you, Sophy?" |
15591 | I said again:"Do n''t you understand? |
15591 | I say, Miss Smith, let me keep this for a while, will you?" |
15591 | I say, is Morenas going to do you, too?" |
15591 | I shall take--""Soothing syrup?" |
15591 | I ventured to put a part of the vagary to the acid test:"Alicia, I was n''t thrown out again, into water, was I?" |
15591 | I wish a black mustache went along with the cup and the house; do n''t you? |
15591 | I wonder why?" |
15591 | I''m going to ask you a straight, man question; is that girl a-- a flirt? |
15591 | If I stay alive, will you marry me, Leetchy?" |
15591 | If he did it, where did he hide the plunder? |
15591 | If he knew that much, had n''t he any heart? |
15591 | If you could have seen the poor dear, trying to martyr himself, just to oblige you--""You_ refused_ him?" |
15591 | In the meantime, what of_ me_?" |
15591 | Is it not enough for me to suffer?" |
15591 | Is it such a small sacrifice to give you up, Sophy?" |
15591 | Is it the orders of you that I devastate those fowls, Mademoiselle?" |
15591 | Is n''t it wonderful and impossible and exciting and delightful? |
15591 | Is n''t that mischief enough for one day?" |
15591 | Is your stuff Madison Avenue or Grand Rapids? |
15591 | It could n''t have been Sophronisba herself? |
15591 | It is heads!_"Did he smile? |
15591 | It is not these you want? |
15591 | It''s pretty, but is it art? |
15591 | Leave Hynds House, forever? |
15591 | Let''s see: her grandfather was a Dampier, was n''t he? |
15591 | Look here, Doctor Richard Geddes: if I was not firmly and truly your friend, I should be furious, do you understand? |
15591 | Love her? |
15591 | Maybe bumbye you and me make some Medicine?" |
15591 | Miss Smith, why do I find you here-- alone?" |
15591 | Miss Smith, you will permit me to withdraw? |
15591 | Most merciful God, how came he by that Paper if the Tale be untrue? |
15591 | My 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?" |
15591 | Nicholas Jelnik accept gifts from women?" |
15591 | No? |
15591 | No? |
15591 | Not one of whom would fail to remark, casually:"Oh,_ did_ you see that Miss Smith with Doctor Geddes this morning? |
15591 | Now then, what have you to say?" |
15591 | Now, am I a stranger?" |
15591 | Now, are n''t dreams absurd? |
15591 | Now, as to science: what is your attitude toward evolution?" |
15591 | Now, lastly, sister, tell me truthfully: are you a Democrat or a Republican?" |
15591 | Now, my dears, was n''t that an odd sort of dream? |
15591 | Now, shall I leave you?" |
15591 | Now, shall you keep the lane closed, or shall you dismiss the injunctions?" |
15591 | Now, should n''t Alicia and I have been happy? |
15591 | Now, was not that remarkable?" |
15591 | Now, what about Hynds House?" |
15591 | Now, what do you say to marrying me?" |
15591 | Of 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?" |
15591 | Oh, God, God!--who is it?" |
15591 | Oh, yes, another thing I want to ask you: what sort of perfume do you use, and where do you get it?" |
15591 | Or does n''t she, Johnson?" |
15591 | Or is he coming back?" |
15591 | Or is it the''Relation of the Child to Its Mother,''this time?" |
15591 | Or should I, though? |
15591 | Or,"Lawsy me, Miss Jinny, dat boy o''yo''s is jes''natchelly bustin''outer da clo''es wid growin'', ai n''t he? |
15591 | Perhaps after a while some of them will bow to us, or maybe even say,''How do you do?'' |
15591 | Poor dear little god, are n''t you glad to get out of that grave and come back to the sun? |
15591 | Presently:"Is it so hard to lose that which you never possessed?" |
15591 | Presently:"Sophy?" |
15591 | Refuse to let him go? |
15591 | Remains: Who got them? |
15591 | Richard''s house? |
15591 | Riedriech stuck his grizzled head out at a window, cautiously:"Fräulein, she hass gone?" |
15591 | Riedriech would regard you paternally, placidly, benevolently, through his large, brass- rimmed spectacles:"So? |
15591 | Scoundrel, puppy, foreign- born poacher, did n''t you see my sign- boards?" |
15591 | Shall I give her a stimulant, doctor?" |
15591 | She asked, instead:"Did you hear what that great blundering doctor said about tinkling out a tune on a piano?" |
15591 | She is not a-- jilt?" |
15591 | She raised her voice:"Did you not see those signs? |
15591 | She said, why did n''t I care for you instead of her? |
15591 | She 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? |
15591 | Should you like to be mine, Sophronisba Two?" |
15591 | Should you mind if I kept my dog''s place warm at your feet, Miss Smith?" |
15591 | Should you think that accounted for his mama''s presence, Sophy? |
15591 | Sophy, are you capable of supporting a parrot? |
15591 | Teller of tales, is n''t it moon- stuff you''re trying to spin?" |
15591 | That is so,_ hein_?" |
15591 | That night went I to Shooba secretly, and said,"Is thy Snake awake? |
15591 | The jewels? |
15591 | The secretary looked at the slipper lying at his feet:"I wonder where he found that, now?" |
15591 | Then she looked at him with Irish eyes:"Have you had your lunch, dear?" |
15591 | Then:"Sophronisba Two, you consider me a reasonably decent sort, do n''t you?" |
15591 | There was but one person alive who knew, and that was--""A slave?" |
15591 | These Southerners are easy to love, are n''t they? |
15591 | They cared for its history and its hatreds not a fig: what has April to do with last November? |
15591 | To find the Hynds jewels, after a century? |
15591 | To the minister, who bearded her for her soul''s sake every now and then, she spoke in words brief and curt:"You here again? |
15591 | To what? |
15591 | Wanted to see me, hey? |
15591 | Was I, or was n''t I, engaged to a man who had never asked me to marry him? |
15591 | Was it because you cared, Sophy?" |
15591 | Was it not rather for me to accept, meekly, the high gift that the gods in a sportive moment chose to toss to me? |
15591 | Was it, perhaps, to forget such a one that he had exiled himself? |
15591 | Was n''t Nicholas Jelnik holding my hand? |
15591 | Was n''t that enough? |
15591 | We could n''t, for was n''t our own house waiting for us? |
15591 | Well, supposing? |
15591 | Well?" |
15591 | What are we quarreling about, Sophy?" |
15591 | What are you doing here, at this hour?" |
15591 | What are you going to do about The Author, Sophy?" |
15591 | What are you going to do about the lane behind Hynds House? |
15591 | What are_ you_ doing here at this hour?" |
15591 | What could any woman say in such circuit stances? |
15591 | What do you get?" |
15591 | What do you think of stewed rhubarb?" |
15591 | What do you want to reduce for, anyhow? |
15591 | What further?" |
15591 | What had he wanted to tell, as he lay there dying? |
15591 | What have we here?" |
15591 | What have_ I_ to do with Hynds jewels?" |
15591 | What is the matter? |
15591 | What is wrong, Sophy? |
15591 | What right have you got to ask_ any_ questions?" |
15591 | What was it before? |
15591 | What was it that really lay between those two brothers? |
15591 | What''s he after? |
15591 | What''s he here for? |
15591 | What''s on the carpet now?" |
15591 | What''s the matter with this house?" |
15591 | What''s the matter?" |
15591 | What, and my name Sophronisba?" |
15591 | Whatever ailed the man? |
15591 | When did it seize you?" |
15591 | When he was coming back? |
15591 | When we had walked a little farther:"Does n''t she know you care for her?" |
15591 | Where did they go?" |
15591 | Where should the jewels be but here?" |
15591 | Who brought me here? |
15591 | Who do you suppose had a mustache and drank out of that cup? |
15591 | Who''s the player, Miss Smith?" |
15591 | Who, then, was I, a woman named Smith, to say nay to this miraculous possibility? |
15591 | Whoever in this world heard of buying a girl''s ring before she''s said''Yes''?" |
15591 | Whut yuh wake me up for, w''ite gal?" |
15591 | Why and wherefore the mystery? |
15591 | Why are n''t you home and in bed? |
15591 | Why are strangers necessary?" |
15591 | Why are we quarreling? |
15591 | Why are_ you_ here?" |
15591 | Why did n''t he consult older members of the community, who could furnish him with immensely interesting side- lights on the Hyndses? |
15591 | Why did you promise love to me And not that promise keep? |
15591 | Why did you say my face was fair, And yet that face forsake? |
15591 | Why did you swear mine eyes were bright, Yet leave those eyes to weep? |
15591 | Why did you turn that coin when it meant''Go,''and bid me, instead,''Stay''? |
15591 | Why do n''t you talk?" |
15591 | Why had he come to Hyndsville? |
15591 | Why have you been weeping? |
15591 | Why should n''t Nicholas go into partnership with him? |
15591 | Why should n''t Nicholas share everything the open- hearted, open- handed doctor had? |
15591 | Why should n''t she be taken with him?" |
15591 | Why should she come here, make her way through those dreadful passages, save for that? |
15591 | Why should you, or any other ordinarily intelligent person, be guided by Gatchell?" |
15591 | Why, then, did n''t you ask Alicia, instead of coming to me for second choice? |
15591 | Why, then, should you complain?" |
15591 | Why?" |
15591 | Why?" |
15591 | Will you believe that?" |
15591 | Will you share them with me, Miss Smith? |
15591 | Wire from Miss Smith to The Author: What is Art? |
15591 | Would it make a dent in your armor of righteous meddling, if I were to remind you that you are seriously annoying Miss Smith?" |
15591 | Would you mind telling me how I might become such an accomplished forgetter?" |
15591 | Would you mind telling me how you happened to think of letting me in on it, eh?" |
15591 | Yet if he did n''t do it himself what was he trying to tell when death cut off his wind? |
15591 | You had some definite plan which hinged upon your finding them?" |
15591 | You were by way of advising me to marry The Author, were you not?" |
15591 | You were several classes ahead of me in school, do n''t you remember? |
15591 | You wo n''t take Hynds House?" |
15591 | You would n''t think an old soul of almost a hundred could find very much chance to brew mischief, would you? |
15591 | You''ll remember that, wo n''t you?" |
15591 | You''re rather glad to see your friends, are n''t you?" |
15591 | You''ve never had a conjured two- hundred- and- forty- pounder on your hands, have you? |
15591 | You, Geddes? |
15591 | You?" |
15591 | Your hens, creatures malicious and accursed--""Why should I look at your horrid stomach?" |
15591 | _ Her name is Sophronisba_!--I-- oh, Lord, where''s Jelnik? |
15591 | are you satisfied?" |
15591 | blinked the doctor,"what? |
15591 | can be a very present help in times of social trouble, ca n''t he? |
15591 | cried The Author, shrilly;"ignorant of the bard raised, so to speak, around your own door- step? |
15591 | gasped Miss Martha, who showed a modest salt- cellar in the mildest of Vs."Is it possible you do n''t like him?" |
15591 | gulped the doctor,"oh, deuce take you, Sophronisba Two, what do you mean by scaring honest folks half out of their wits?" |
15591 | say you, resignedly, with a feigned smile;"what is it, Mary Magdalen?" |
15591 | shrieked The Author, stamping with fury,"_ my_ behavior to Miss Smith? |
15591 | ting- 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?'' |
15591 | wailed Alicia,"whatever is the matter with us, anyhow? |
15591 | was he?" |
15591 | was n''t he?" |
15591 | what is the matter?" |
15591 | what''s the matter over there?" |
15591 | you 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? |
6719 | About Ella''s coming to you? |
6719 | Admitting that, would you like a man to be a weak echo of yourself? |
6719 | Advise with a slave? 6719 After all,"she thought,"what does it matter? |
6719 | All here? |
6719 | And nothing has passed between him, his daughter, or you since? |
6719 | And what may that be? |
6719 | And who else? |
6719 | And you give me your word that you will keep your temper to the very end? |
6719 | Are brick and mortar more to you than I am? |
6719 | Are you going for the doctor? |
6719 | Are you in trouble? |
6719 | Are you of age? |
6719 | Are 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?" |
6719 | Aunty, ca n''t you realize that I am no longer a child, as he says? |
6719 | Aunty,protested Mara, almost irritably, for her nerves were sadly worn,"what good can such words do? |
6719 | Because of_ your_ need, not Ella''s? |
6719 | But making them may mean a great war? |
6719 | But what was the use of it all? 6719 But you will not promise never to marry her?" |
6719 | By the way,she said at last,"who do you think was there? |
6719 | Ca n''t you lift me up a little? |
6719 | Can we not now part with this clear understanding? 6719 Can you keep up?" |
6719 | Can you not at least respect a man who is as sincere as you are? |
6719 | Captain 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?" |
6719 | Could you imagine for a_ moment_ that your father would permit the attentions of that young Houghton? |
6719 | Cousin Hugh,she said, one day soon after Ella''s encounter with Houghton,"how was it with you when you were a young fellow? |
6719 | Cousin Sophy,said Ella in the afternoon,"has n''t the proper time come for me to make my party call on Mrs. Willoughby? |
6719 | Dar now, Aun''Sheba, wot fei you talk so se''rus in Augst? 6719 De pint am, howsumeber, is n''t de cakes good?" |
6719 | De 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?" |
6719 | Did I not say that was all explained and settled? 6719 Did I? |
6719 | Did he? |
6719 | Did n''t he say anything after that? |
6719 | Do n''t you know me? |
6719 | Do n''t you think we should try to take cousin out? |
6719 | Do you know the reason why I did not, rather could not, write such a letter? |
6719 | Do you know,he almost hissed,"that my boy lies at the bottom of your accursed harbor yonder?" |
6719 | Do you love Captain Bodine? |
6719 | Do you make the cakes? |
6719 | Do you mean to defy her father? |
6719 | Do you mean to say that you will pursue this suit contrary to my wishes? |
6719 | Do you refer to yourself? |
6719 | Do you think this a sufficient excuse for interrupting me at this hour? |
6719 | Do you understand fully whither that way is leading? |
6719 | Do you_ love_ Captain Bodine? |
6719 | Does yer wan''ter bring de perlice? 6719 Done nothing with all your might?" |
6719 | Dus 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? |
6719 | Ef you furnish de makin''up ob de''terials what mo''you oughter do, I''d like ter know? |
6719 | Ella, can you have given your love to this alien and almost stranger? |
6719 | Ella, my only child, the hope and solace of my life, can you hesitate? |
6719 | Father,cried the young man,"you are not hurt?" |
6719 | Good Lawd, honey, hab you heerd on any ob you''se folks dyin''? |
6719 | Had a good dinner? 6719 Has he heard? |
6719 | Have I no rights in my own child? 6719 Have I not listened?" |
6719 | Have 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?" |
6719 | Have 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? |
6719 | Help you? 6719 Houghton,"called Mr. Willoughby,"wo n''t you enroll me as one of your cooks or waiters?" |
6719 | How dat, missus? |
6719 | How did you shut him up? |
6719 | How do you know that this is true? |
6719 | How do you know there''s nothing bad about him? |
6719 | How do you propose to carry on this suit? |
6719 | How does he look at her? |
6719 | How does your father feel about this? |
6719 | How should you know what kind of a man he is? |
6719 | How so? |
6719 | How soon can I meet your daughter? |
6719 | I am not personally disagreeable to you? |
6719 | I suppose by this time that little gust of passion, inspired by the daughter''s pretty face, has passed? |
6719 | I wonder if she would n''t like to help me? |
6719 | If she herself, then, informs you that it is hopeless, that would end the matter? |
6719 | Is it Mara? |
6719 | Is it as serious as that? |
6719 | Is not this Miss Wallingford? |
6719 | Is running away from me escaping? |
6719 | Is the abstract a refuge? |
6719 | Is your time, then, so completely occupied? |
6719 | Is yours, then, so cold toward me? |
6719 | Law sakes, Massa, wo''t you mean by coachin''me? |
6719 | Law sakes, honey, what all dese? |
6719 | Mara, are you, too, down on me? |
6719 | Mara, dear Mara, you are not hurt? |
6719 | Mara, do n''t you feel well? |
6719 | Mara, you will not fail me? |
6719 | Mara,protested Mrs. Hunter, severely,"do you realize what you are saying? |
6719 | Marse Clancy, what you take me fer? |
6719 | May I not be with you always, Ella? |
6719 | Miss Bodine, do you dare_ think_ for yourself? |
6719 | Mr. 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? |
6719 | Mr. Houghton,she managed to say at last,"will you do me a favor?" |
6719 | Mr. Houghton,she said, timidly approaching,"is there anything we can do for you? |
6719 | Mr. an''Mis Buggone, have you nothin''to say? |
6719 | Now see heah, honey, is your heart set on dis ting? |
6719 | Now why do you come? |
6719 | Now, I appeal to you, Mara-- is this fair, four against one? |
6719 | O God,cried Ella,"will there be no respite?" |
6719 | Of your own free will? |
6719 | Oh, Aun''Sheba, do you truly think they know about my present life? |
6719 | Oh, Captain Bodine, do you think I could deceive you or a girl like Ella under any circumstances? 6719 Oh, what is it?" |
6719 | Oh, why will you come? |
6719 | Oh, you dashed it off hastily, without giving it thought? |
6719 | Oh,she moaned again on her father''s shoulder,"why will he take risks?" |
6719 | Please tell me, have n''t I decided on the right, honorable course-- on what would seem honorable to Captain Bodine and to Ella also? |
6719 | Shall I go home and plant cotton? |
6719 | Shuah now, does you tink it''s dataway? |
6719 | Sir, dear sir, be patient--"Now, Marse Houghton, wot you gwine ter do? |
6719 | Suppose I decline to do this? |
6719 | Suppose you find him utterly opposed to it all? |
6719 | That is your advice, then? |
6719 | Then I may tell him that you will never give your consent-- that what he terms his suit must end at once and forever? |
6719 | Then tell me why I am treated by so many in your set as if I had overrun the South with fire and sword? |
6719 | Was Clancy right after all? |
6719 | Was that he in the parlor? |
6719 | Wat de matter now, Uncle Sheba? |
6719 | We? |
6719 | Well, ai n''t she white folks? 6719 Well, chile, wot you wants ter say?" |
6719 | Well, on that same day-- you know-- he told me that he was a gentleman: can you guess how? |
6719 | Well, then, how can I better recover peace of mind and serenity than by going a- fishing? 6719 Well, what are they?" |
6719 | Well, wo n''t you please approve of it? |
6719 | Well, you wo n''t try to see Ella before you have consulted me? |
6719 | Well,said he,"what part am I to have in this mournful occasion?" |
6719 | Well,she asked, looking down demurely,"what did they mean?" |
6719 | Well? |
6719 | Well? |
6719 | Whar 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?" |
6719 | What chance have you had to learn her character? 6719 What dat ar got to do wid de pahnaship?" |
6719 | What did you say in reply? |
6719 | What do you mean? |
6719 | What good would that do, Aunty? 6719 What has happened?" |
6719 | What is amusing you so greatly? |
6719 | What is it that Mr. Houghton wishes? |
6719 | What is it? |
6719 | What pressin''business,asked his wife, severely,"hab you got, Unc., dat you in sech a hurry fer de min''ster ter go? |
6719 | What''s the matter with the dog? |
6719 | What''s the matter with them? |
6719 | What''s the use of being brave; what can I be brave for? |
6719 | What''s troubling you, Ella? |
6719 | What? |
6719 | When you are so concretely and distractingly enchanting, what other refuge is there for a man than the abstract? |
6719 | Where is she? 6719 Where?" |
6719 | Who can account for either? |
6719 | Who dat? |
6719 | Who is this from? |
6719 | Who''s that snoring over there? |
6719 | Who''s? |
6719 | Whom does Mr. Clancy suspect? |
6719 | Why are you going away? |
6719 | Why ca n''t they forgive and forget, as far as possible, as you do? |
6719 | Why did n''t you tell me? |
6719 | Why do you fear so greatly? |
6719 | Why do you feel different from so many others, Mara? 6719 Why do you tell me this, papa?" |
6719 | Why not? |
6719 | Why 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?" |
6719 | Why so? |
6719 | Why would n''t he? |
6719 | Why, 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?" |
6719 | Why, honey, wot you want de time to pass quick fer? 6719 Will you make me one solemn promise?" |
6719 | Will you permit me to be a little more frank than I have been? |
6719 | Will you send in your card, sir? |
6719 | Will you take my advice? |
6719 | Will you tell me if Miss Wallingford--"Marse Clancy, hab Miss Wallingford sent you word dat she want you to know''bout her''fairs? |
6719 | Wot de use ob sawin''wood all day wen de town hot''nuff now to roas''lobsters? |
6719 | Wot else I do, honey lam? 6719 Wot good de''ligion you''fess do you, I''d like ter know? |
6719 | Wot she know''bout it? |
6719 | Wot you want spicin''so fer all''t once, Missy Ella? 6719 Wot''s de matter wid you bofe, honeys?" |
6719 | Wotfer, Aun''Sheba? |
6719 | Would n''t that be better? 6719 Would you have me call her now, shake her awake, and propose?" |
6719 | Would you say that even this furnace- like air can not quicken my blood? |
6719 | Wrong 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?" |
6719 | Yes, I''se a Republican,said Kern,"but wat dat got ter do wid dis matter? |
6719 | You are not married to Bodine? |
6719 | You are thinking only of yourself; why should n''t I do likewise? |
6719 | You certainly will be guided by your father? |
6719 | You find on further thought that you can not forgive me? |
6719 | You have? 6719 You know him?" |
6719 | You mean to tell your father then? |
6719 | You think brain, then, is absolutely essential?'' 6719 You will defy him also, then?" |
6719 | You will give her up then, since it is my wish? |
6719 | You would have killed my son if you had met him? |
6719 | You? 6719 ''Ud dat be hon''ble wen all de time you''se yearnin fer each oder? |
6719 | A man near the bow seized a coil of rope and yelled,"Where are you?" |
6719 | A relative of that double- dyed rebel in my office?" |
6719 | After a brief examination the physician said:"Why did you not come to me before?" |
6719 | After a moment he said abruptly,"You fought through the war, I suppose?" |
6719 | After a second and general flight to the square, the question in all hearts,"What next?" |
6719 | After all, why should I berate him? |
6719 | Ai n''t Vilet in Hebin? |
6719 | Ai n''t de cakes right?" |
6719 | Ai n''t de oder chil''n heah? |
6719 | Ai n''t you got de bes husban bawn? |
6719 | Am I a bat?" |
6719 | Am I made of putty any more than you are, sweetheart?" |
6719 | Am I saying naughty words? |
6719 | Am I to blame if you have inspired many reasons? |
6719 | An''his little Missy is you''se helper?" |
6719 | An''wat can dey say, honey, dat''ll harm you? |
6719 | Approaching Bodine, he asked,"Do you think it will be safe for the invalids to leave the square?" |
6719 | Are Northern young men so intrinsically wise and good that they are not influenced by their traditions and immediate associations?" |
6719 | Are n''t you ashamed to work me up so? |
6719 | Are we to have anything like a general war? |
6719 | Are you, too, going to ostracize me?" |
6719 | As a rebel was there not enough blood on your hands? |
6719 | At last a faint color stole into her cheeks, and she asked:"What did you write, papa?" |
6719 | At the same terrible words which had smitten George, she also cried,"Papa, did you say you would rather bury me?" |
6719 | Aun''Sheba still laughed to herself, and remarked,"Unc., s''pose you try Missy Ella''s cure?" |
6719 | Aun''Sheba, what do you mean?" |
6719 | Back of all her culture and accomplishments there is a woman; yet what kind of a woman? |
6719 | Bodine remained writing quietly until George came and said,"Will you be so kind as to come to the private office?" |
6719 | Bodine''s?" |
6719 | Bodine?" |
6719 | But how can I sympathize with some of your views when God has given me a nature that revolts at them? |
6719 | But how can you be right? |
6719 | But now what can I do? |
6719 | But the past_ is_ past, and the question is now, what is right and wise? |
6719 | But who''s dey dat you got on you min''?" |
6719 | Can I not go down and speak to him at once? |
6719 | Can 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?" |
6719 | Can not I attend to your matter?" |
6719 | Can not I, with the aid of Jube and Sam, get our friends some breakfast?" |
6719 | Can she have married Bodine?" |
6719 | Can we not also agree that we differ conscientiously? |
6719 | Can you believe that they, happy in heaven, can wish you no happiness on earth?" |
6719 | Can you not see that you are passing deeper and deeper into the shadow of the past? |
6719 | Can you say the fifth commandment, chile?" |
6719 | Can you soberly expect to live among such a set of people? |
6719 | Can you spare one of your servants to carry what I can not?" |
6719 | Can you tell me where to find them?" |
6719 | Can you think I would live idly on your hard- earned money?" |
6719 | Can you think I would wish you to shrink or fail-- you who are so strong and brave? |
6719 | Captain Bodine heard the cry, and, having rested himself a little, came to Aun''Sheba and asked,"Do you know where Kern is?" |
6719 | Clancy was astounded, and exclaimed,"Miss Wallingford, can you even contemplate such a thing?" |
6719 | Clancy''s former question in regard to her devotion to the past and the dead,"What goodwill it do?" |
6719 | Could she fail this loved and honored friend, when a wronged Northern boy had counted his life as naught to save him? |
6719 | Could she have recognized him? |
6719 | Could that flushed, beautiful woman be his little Ella? |
6719 | Could they speak would they say,''We wish our sorrows to blight your life''? |
6719 | Den he put it right straight,''Did you make''em?''" |
6719 | Did Miss Ainsley intend to compliment him by suggesting that he was thinking himself into what was sensible? |
6719 | Did he use any angry, disrespectful language toward you?" |
6719 | Did n''t He have compassion on the widow of Nain, and say to her,''Weep not''? |
6719 | Did n''t I comfort you on dis bery bres time an''time agin when you was a little mite? |
6719 | Did n''t I slabe fer her granpar yeahs an''yeahs, an''wat I got ter show fer''t?" |
6719 | Did n''t I tole you?" |
6719 | Did she continue to watch him because of some faint interest? |
6719 | Did you not hear that cry? |
6719 | Did you not say that if he had the trace of a gentleman in his anatomy he would leave you and yours alone? |
6719 | Did you steal them?" |
6719 | Did you think I was going to let you furnish the materials?" |
6719 | Do n''t I know about his heartache? |
6719 | Do 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''? |
6719 | Do n''t you see that all things are working for the best? |
6719 | Do n''t you think so?" |
6719 | Do n''t you think we had better drop the subject for the present?" |
6719 | Do you believe it, Ella? |
6719 | Do you know why?" |
6719 | Do you mean to say that you love her still?" |
6719 | Do you mean to say that your church people have suspended you?" |
6719 | Do you mean to say there is hope?" |
6719 | Do you regard love as a blind ditch?" |
6719 | Do you see this book?" |
6719 | Do you suppose your daughter is made of different flesh and blood? |
6719 | Do you think I can be content to live in idleness on her slender means? |
6719 | Do 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? |
6719 | Do you think I would come here for slight cause at such cost to us both?" |
6719 | Do you think I''ve forgotten anything since you carried Mrs. Bodine out of her tottering house?" |
6719 | Do 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''? |
6719 | Do you understand, Aun''Sheba?" |
6719 | Do you wish to break down also?" |
6719 | Doan de Bible say de angels gwine ter tote us?" |
6719 | Does he consider it an insult to be told he is a gentleman? |
6719 | Does papa love him or his son? |
6719 | Ef she set her heart on helpin''her ole Missus an''young Missy an''arn de money herself, whose business is it but hers? |
6719 | George caressed the dog, and said:"What''s up, old fellow?" |
6719 | Habn''t I seen all de quality ob dis town? |
6719 | Had he the penetration to learn the truth? |
6719 | Had she not made it sufficiently plain that he had no right to take, or, at least, to manifest any such interest in her affairs? |
6719 | Had we not better change the subject?" |
6719 | Have I been ill?" |
6719 | Have I failed in business, or been crossed in love?" |
6719 | Have I made sufficient apology?" |
6719 | Have I not seen it given to the old and feeble before? |
6719 | Have n''t I got a little gray, too?" |
6719 | Have you any reason to think that Ella feels in any such way as you do?" |
6719 | Have you not said to your boy as cruel things as Captain Bodine has said? |
6719 | He 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? |
6719 | He longed to see her again, yet how could he see her except in the presence of others? |
6719 | He saved you, why could n''t you do something to save him?" |
6719 | He was at her side instantly, and, taking her hand, asked gently,"What troubles you, my child?" |
6719 | He was introduced to me just as the others were, and what do I care for him? |
6719 | Heah it foam an''roar, de dark flood tide, How shel we cross to de oder side? |
6719 | Her father noted this, and asked himself,"Could she have known of his purpose?" |
6719 | Houghton?" |
6719 | Houghton?" |
6719 | Houghton?" |
6719 | How are we going to keep a roof over our own heads?" |
6719 | How are you worse off than I, who have lost husband, sons, all? |
6719 | How can I escape the consequences of my own acts? |
6719 | How can I''shake off and avoid''in this back parlor? |
6719 | How could I appear otherwise to Miss Bodine if I should withdraw, like a growling bear into winter quarters, there to hibernate indefinitely? |
6719 | How could I do without you now?" |
6719 | How could I look Mara in the face again if I made no effort in her behalf? |
6719 | How could my love be so sacred and heavenly if it were wrong? |
6719 | How could she make sport of a man who had coupled her name with that of his dead mother? |
6719 | How did you escape?" |
6719 | How is it that he is in the old gentleman''s employ, I wonder? |
6719 | How late is it?" |
6719 | How long must my probation last before I can come back for more advice?" |
6719 | How long will this fancy last? |
6719 | How many are there now, do you suppose?" |
6719 | How old is Ella?" |
6719 | How shall we get through the night if this keeps up? |
6719 | How you forgit when I tell you ober an''ober? |
6719 | Hunter?" |
6719 | I can see a tall man leap into a sinking boat and-- and-- oh, why did you sink with it? |
6719 | I have a friend, Mrs. Willoughby-- do you know her?" |
6719 | I merely come to ask if you have employment for a tolerably rapid, accurate penman?" |
6719 | I 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?" |
6719 | I say,''Hab Miss Wallingford sen''you word dat she want you to know''bout her''fairs''?" |
6719 | I think the fellows did splendidly, if they were Yankees, yet what else could we expect since their commander was a Southern man? |
6719 | I wonder if she will feel as I do about it?" |
6719 | I-- I-- well, can I venture to make my former request? |
6719 | If George should go away without seeing her, without a word or a line, what must she think? |
6719 | If 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? |
6719 | If love is sweet to papa at his age think what it is to me?" |
6719 | If you only knew how good and noble and lovely she is--""Who is she? |
6719 | Illustration:"Well Chile, Wot You Wants Ter Say?"] |
6719 | In her brusque way she said to herself,"What''s the use of trying? |
6719 | In spite of her unworldliness and lack of practical training, the strong common- sense of Clancy''s question would recur,"What good will it do?" |
6719 | Is Aun''Sheba gwine ter take any ob your money? |
6719 | Is George ill?" |
6719 | Is he a relative?" |
6719 | Is he very ill?" |
6719 | Is it dataway?" |
6719 | Is it the difference in women which inevitably inspires different thought and action? |
6719 | Is it wrong to be glad at such a time?" |
6719 | Is n''t it wiser for me to get money out of Mr. Houghton than to sulk and starve? |
6719 | Is n''t that the conventional phrase? |
6719 | Is n''t this the right, honorable course?" |
6719 | It was not long after that before Kern mustered courage to ask"Miss Buggone, mout I hab de pleasure ob''companyin''you home?" |
6719 | Kin little feet touch groun''Whar mountain billows sweep? |
6719 | Law sakes, what kin''ob blood dat man Clancy hab to lebe you kase you po''? |
6719 | Laying her down beside Mrs. Bodine he began in distressed perplexity,"What shall we do now? |
6719 | Long as he''habe himself, wot dat agin him?" |
6719 | Man overboard?" |
6719 | Mara looked steadfastly at her aunt until the worthy lady was somewhat disconcerted, and asked fretfully,"What do you mean by that look, Mara?" |
6719 | Mara''s overwhelming distress ceased its expression at this new horror as she gasped,"Can she be dead?" |
6719 | Mara, am I to see you and speak to you no more?" |
6719 | More than once she murmured,"How can I be hostile to him? |
6719 | Mrs. Robertson was so preoccupied at the moment that she did not witness this brief, subtile exchange of-- what? |
6719 | Must I go on, hiding this bitter secret? |
6719 | My dear child,"turning to Mara,"do you think I would take half your crust when I know you need the whole of it? |
6719 | My heart is broken, and do you think I can bother with you?'' |
6719 | Now how you gwine to be plump and strong?" |
6719 | Oh, Mara!--""Whom shall I advise with then?" |
6719 | Oh, Mara, darling, how can I ever thank you enough?" |
6719 | Oh, is n''t this fun?" |
6719 | Oh, oh, was not my life hard enough before? |
6719 | Oh, what is there for me to look forward to? |
6719 | Or had his own course which she felt was separating them some part in her distress? |
6719 | Reckon de wah am ober, an''what we gwine ter do wid de Lawd''s prar? |
6719 | Remembering, therefore, her husband''s headlong courage, what assurance of his safety could she have although victory followed victory? |
6719 | S''pose I want ter lose my boat an''my life? |
6719 | Saved my life as well as yours and Cousin Hugh''s?" |
6719 | Scarcely able, yet compelled to believe the truth, she asked herself all the long night,"How can I bear this new trouble?" |
6719 | See here, sweetheart, what did God give me eyes for? |
6719 | She soon asked falteringly,"Mr. Wallingford, do you think-- will the conditions become more even, as you suggested? |
6719 | Since these people had no controversy with him, how could he continue to cherish enmity and prejudice against them? |
6719 | So soon? |
6719 | So you see whither affairs are tending?" |
6719 | Suppose some bold Southerner should forestall him? |
6719 | Surmising the truth at once, he hastened to his father''s room, and asked almost sternly:"Where is Captain Bodine?" |
6719 | The only question between us is,''Will you buy my labor as you would any other commodity in the Charleston market?''" |
6719 | The question is, will Mr. Clancy feel obliged to follow her eventually?" |
6719 | The veteran looked at him coldly as he asked,"May I inquire, sir, your object in seeking this interview?" |
6719 | Then he added,"You''ll forgive me and be my own dear daughter?" |
6719 | Then he asked a moment or two later,"Why do you take me out at the side door?" |
6719 | Then 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?" |
6719 | Then 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?" |
6719 | There was another long silence, and then Mr. floughton said,"But you will control your action?" |
6719 | This is an earthquake, is n''t it?" |
6719 | To see through some one else''s eyes? |
6719 | Vilet, ai n''t your grandma a good Christian woman?" |
6719 | Vilet, roused at her grandmother''s voice, looked around, and then asked in her plaintive voice,"Whar''s daddy?" |
6719 | Was he faint- hearted in wooing Ella? |
6719 | Was it because he charged her with disloyalty to her kindred? |
6719 | Was loving her a crime? |
6719 | Was not Nature so out of joint that nothing familiar could be looked for any more? |
6719 | Was she laughing or crying? |
6719 | Was 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? |
6719 | We have been friends, have we not?" |
6719 | We''se gwine right along, honey, ai n''t we? |
6719 | We''se gwine ter min''our own business jes''as if we''se the bigges''pahners in de town?" |
6719 | Well, Ella, how did you set about ostracizing young Houghton?" |
6719 | Wen a member backslide so he do notin''but eat an''sleep, oughtener he be sot on?" |
6719 | Were all her efforts futile to hide her love? |
6719 | Were those subject races ready to take the hands that had struck them and still held them in thraldom? |
6719 | Whar you git you sperit fum? |
6719 | What are we to do? |
6719 | What are you going to do with him?" |
6719 | What are you up for?" |
6719 | What could I tell them? |
6719 | What could she know about my motives and feelings? |
6719 | What did he give me a brain for? |
6719 | What did he say, and what did you say, word for word? |
6719 | What did it mean? |
6719 | What did this late summons portend? |
6719 | What earthly good can ever result from this cherished bitterness and enmity? |
6719 | What else in God''s universe could I dread more than harm to you? |
6719 | What good can it do them? |
6719 | What had he or I to do with the war, I''d like to know? |
6719 | What harm has that young fellow ever done any of us?" |
6719 | What if I did? |
6719 | What if the very act should lead to the belief that she no longer wished to have any part in his life? |
6719 | What is her name?" |
6719 | What is his mysterious power which I can not eradicate? |
6719 | What is the matter to- day?" |
6719 | What is the use of living?" |
6719 | What is there for us all but to be Americans? |
6719 | What is thought of a man who throws away everything for a pretty face?" |
6719 | What other peril can he be exposed to except that of marrying a beauty and an heiress? |
6719 | What put it into your mind?" |
6719 | What test?" |
6719 | What was the use of it all?" |
6719 | What will be left of our past if the best and bravest of our number strike hands with these vampires of the North?" |
6719 | What would you like to talk about?" |
6719 | What''casion I got to pervide for dey?" |
6719 | What''s the harm in thinking about him in my jolly way? |
6719 | What''s troubling you? |
6719 | When can you come?" |
6719 | When have her sympathies been touched in behalf of any one or any cause? |
6719 | When shall I sleep again?" |
6719 | When the physician returned Mr. Houghton roused a little, and asked,"What is the matter? |
6719 | When you spoke I stalked away like a sulky boy, muttering,''Why should n''t I be a gentleman?'' |
6719 | Where is your father?" |
6719 | Who better than I? |
6719 | Who could come to her aid? |
6719 | Who else you tell your troubles to but Aun''Sheba? |
6719 | Who has given up the more? |
6719 | Who in God''s universe would forbid you a loyal friend?" |
6719 | Who knows but that your early days may be your darkest days? |
6719 | Who you talkin''''bout?" |
6719 | Why ca n''t people let bygones be bygones? |
6719 | Why ca n''t you get some one ter he''p you an''den we go along swimmin''?" |
6719 | Why could not Owen Clancy have earned his own bread and mine by taking the course of this brave Southern man? |
6719 | Why did every nerve in my body tingle? |
6719 | Why did n''t you go?" |
6719 | Why do n''t dey kill us too, like dey did all our folks?'' |
6719 | Why doan you cry an''groan, an''hab a big conwiction? |
6719 | Why don''you took ter some sittin''wuck like fishin''in de harbor? |
6719 | Why had she concealed the fact? |
6719 | Why not let the matter drop where it is?" |
6719 | Why should I hate that big, good- natured fellow? |
6719 | Why should I not wish to please you, to become your friend? |
6719 | Why should I tie the millstone of the past about my neck?" |
6719 | Why should a presentiment of danger to him weigh down my spirit to- night? |
6719 | Why should he talk of love when he will not see what is so reasonable in the action of another?" |
6719 | Why should not a man and woman entertain each other without compliments, conventionalities and sentimentalities?" |
6719 | Why should old Houghton''s son be hovering around us like a hawk, I''d like to know?" |
6719 | Why should we speak of these subjects further?" |
6719 | Why will she be so proud and obdurate? |
6719 | Will the chief baker escort me to the dining- room?" |
6719 | Will you be fair enough to listen to me? |
6719 | Will you come with me? |
6719 | Will you deal?" |
6719 | Will you sit down?" |
6719 | Will you trust me, and let me do my very best to save you?" |
6719 | Willoughby''s?" |
6719 | Willoughby?" |
6719 | Willoughby?" |
6719 | With a dread greater than that inspired by the earthquake he thought:"Is it too late? |
6719 | With a sort of inward rage and wonder, she asked herself:"Why did my heart flutter so? |
6719 | Wo n''t you let me take your head into my lap? |
6719 | Wo n''t you please let me go now? |
6719 | Won''you let me go? |
6719 | Wot de Scripter say? |
6719 | Wot we do widout dem, an''wat dey do widout us? |
6719 | Wot you an Marse Bodine gwine ter do''bout sich lub as dat? |
6719 | Would n''t he dance a jig if he knew? |
6719 | Would n''t you like to help me all the time and earn money in this way?" |
6719 | Would the sun ever rise again? |
6719 | Would they doom you to the life upon which you are entering? |
6719 | Would you like to hear more about him?" |
6719 | Would you mind lending me an overcoat or some wrap?" |
6719 | Yet how can I warn her-- how can I reach her except I write? |
6719 | Yet how could I suspect this Clancy, whom she so repelled and contemned, and who was devoting himself to another woman? |
6719 | Yet she asked herself again and again,"What else is there for me?" |
6719 | Yet what could I do if she were? |
6719 | Yet what could she and her aunt do? |
6719 | You dear, melancholy little goose, do n''t you know that God never rolls two people into one, even after they are married? |
6719 | You gwine ter buy back de big house fer dem?" |
6719 | You hab no dinner yit?" |
6719 | You 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? |

6719 | You tink you kin be in trouble an''I ai n''t dar? |

6719 | You vote fer him, an''hurrah fer him, an''whar''s yer promise''lan''? |
6719 | You--""Has she been making love to you then?" |
6719 | Your father has--""Mr. Houghton, is it not time for Mr. Clancy''s medicine?" |
6719 | dar an a man like Kern? |
6719 | de plantation in Virginny all gone?" |
6719 | fighting this hopeless and seemingly endless fight? |
6719 | have you been corresponding with them, and all that?" |
6719 | how shall I behave?" |
6719 | how was it with me when I was a girl? |
6719 | is de ole missus dun gone?" |
6719 | is it you? |
6719 | she cried, with misgivings of trouble,"are you not well?" |
6719 | she groaned inwardly,"what can I do? |
6719 | she thought,"what can I do if he sees me? |
6719 | thousands against seventy? |
6719 | to think with the brain of another? |
6719 | was n''t she perfectly enchanting yesterday? |
6719 | what happen?" |
6719 | what in hell had he to do with it?" |
6719 | what was I going to say? |
6719 | what would she do without you? |
6719 | what''s dat?" |
6719 | who was that awful- looking man?" |
6719 | why ca n''t I be happy, too?" |
6719 | why do you think about such people at all?" |
6719 | you ai n''t a spook, Marse George?" |
12596 | A black fellow with red on his coat- tails, and a sash like a general''s? 12596 About what?" |
12596 | Ai n''t it movin''? |
12596 | Ai n''t you lonesome? |
12596 | Ai n''t you, suh? 12596 An''--an''then?" |
12596 | And I-- am I nothing to you Anne? 12596 And do you always expect to be-- lucky?" |
12596 | And has it been so merry, Gracie? |
12596 | And how does she manage now? |
12596 | And if she questions further, Monsieur? |
12596 | And may I ask who you are, and why and how you come flying out of the nowhere into the here of these forsaken woods? |
12596 | And now,she asked,"would you mind telling me something more about that butterfly of yours? |
12596 | And that nice, amusing old colored woman who kept house for you-- what became of her? |
12596 | And that,said Peter,"altogether depends upon you, does n''t it? |
12596 | And when you have decided, you will let me know? |
12596 | And where is your mother''s house? |
12596 | And why? |
12596 | And you think a girl like Anne will be willing to play patient Griselda? |
12596 | And you think this insane marriage is likely to come out all right in the end, too? |
12596 | And-- would a hundred dollars soothe your feelings? |
12596 | Anne,said he, directly,"what are you going to do about Peter Champneys?" |
12596 | Are n''t_ you_ happy? |
12596 | Are you afraid, dear? |
12596 | Are you demented? |
12596 | Are you,said a pleasant voice,"by good fortune, Peter Champneys?" |
12596 | Because, if you could be happy with me, why should n''t you be? |
12596 | Berkeley,said she, changing her light tone,"am I to understand that you are-- really in earnest?" |
12596 | But how can I ever trust him again? 12596 But how could you manage it?" |
12596 | But how in heaven''s name can I study if I''m plagued with a wife? |
12596 | But if she does n''t know me, why on earth should she wish to see me,--at such a time? |
12596 | But if you got a real heir, where do I come in? |
12596 | But they were real husbands and wives, were n''t they? |
12596 | But why? |
12596 | But_ why_? 12596 Can I go to the movies?" |
12596 | Did you_ never_ love her? |
12596 | Do 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?" |
12596 | Do you want us to bury-- it? |
12596 | Does that make you afraid? |
12596 | Eh? 12596 Emma, where you- all goin''?" |
12596 | Emma? 12596 Fit in the war, did n''t ye?" |
12596 | For you? |
12596 | Goin'', hey? 12596 Goin''? |
12596 | Got jolly well licked, did n''t you? |
12596 | Grandma Baker, were_ you_ very much in love? |
12596 | He?--Who? |
12596 | Her name? 12596 Her?" |
12596 | Housework? 12596 How long?" |
12596 | How old is he? |
12596 | How you know this feller''s Milly Champneys''s husband? |
12596 | I ain''t-- I mean, I do n''t have to see him nor talk to him before, do I? |
12596 | I am to understand, then, that you agree? |
12596 | I ask you, as man to man: Is it our fault? |
12596 | I axes you once mo'', Jake: whut you been doin''? |
12596 | I ca n''t even pick out my own clothes? |
12596 | I can talk wid my cat, ca n''t I? |
12596 | I hope I did n''t startle you? 12596 I hope,"said he, stiffly,"that you have no just cause to disbelieve me, Nancy? |
12596 | I 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? |
12596 | I was wondering if you were ever lonely? |
12596 | I 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? |
12596 | If you were free, would you marry me? 12596 In the meantime, may I ask you for a bite? |
12596 | In_ love_? 12596 Is I? |
12596 | Is de gal done daid? |
12596 | Is he as ugly as me? |
12596 | Is it-- soon? |
12596 | Is that his real name? |
12596 | Is the lady he''s married to as nice as him? 12596 Is there-- anything else I can do for you, Gracie? |
12596 | Is 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?" |
12596 | Is you? |
12596 | It is not well with her? |
12596 | It never bothered you again, Daddy Nep? |
12596 | It''s took you a long time to find your way, ai n''t it? |
12596 | Jason,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?" |
12596 | John, do you think it''s a--"Petticoat? 12596 Look like? |
12596 | Marcia 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? |
12596 | Marry? 12596 May I look at it, please?" |
12596 | Me? 12596 Me? |
12596 | Meanin''? |
12596 | Miss Spring,said Peter, anxiously, as they reached the porch of Lynwood,"Miss Spring, do you expect to go about these woods much-- by yourself?" |
12596 | Mistuh,said Emma to the chauffeur,"is you- all got any fambly dependin''on you?" |
12596 | Mr. Champneys,stammered Glenn, painfully,"surely you know I did n''t understand-- don''t you? |
12596 | Nancy, is this thing true? |
12596 | Nancy, you care? |
12596 | No? 12596 Now, ai n''t it always so? |
12596 | Oh, you are, are you, Miss Simms? 12596 Peter, Peter, do n''t you understand?" |
12596 | Peter, are n''t you rather leaving the Red Admiral out of your calculations? |
12596 | Peter, 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?" |
12596 | Say, 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?" |
12596 | Should you prefer our Miss Smith to proffer aid and advice? 12596 So?" |
12596 | So? |
12596 | Soon? 12596 That''s something like three hundred dollars, is n''t it?" |
12596 | The arrangement does not suit you? |
12596 | The florist''s? 12596 Then I-- I mean, things are just to go along, the same as they have been?" |
12596 | Then you do n''t want Mr. Peter Champneys and me ever to be divorced? 12596 They are not kind to you?" |
12596 | Threatenin''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?" |
12596 | Very dear one, suppose_ I_ had been called upon to let_ thee_ go: how could I have endured that? |
12596 | Want to get away from Riverton, do n''t you? 12596 Was you wishin''to find out somethin''about him or Aunt Milly? |
12596 | Well, Peter, what can I do for_ you_ this mawnin''? |
12596 | Well, and why not? |
12596 | Well, but ai n''t she? |
12596 | Well, then, who? |
12596 | Well, what do you think of it? |
12596 | Well, why could n''t you say who he was at first, an''have done with it? |
12596 | Well? |
12596 | What about my weddin''-dress? |
12596 | What are you thinking, when you look at me like that? |
12596 | What can I say? |
12596 | What difference does that make? 12596 What do I care where you go? |
12596 | What else can I do but agree? |
12596 | What in hell did that big nigger shoot him for, anyhow? |
12596 | What is it you wish me to do? |
12596 | What on earth is the matter with the boy? |
12596 | What sort of a feller is he? 12596 What we got to do now? |
12596 | What would you advise me to do? |
12596 | What would you like to do? |
12596 | What you goin''to do when you get there? |
12596 | What''s he look like in the face? |
12596 | What''s that you''re sayin'', Briggs? 12596 What''s the use? |
12596 | What''s the whole truth, Nephew? 12596 What''s wrong with my clothes?" |
12596 | What_ do_ you want, then? |
12596 | When you''speck to go? |
12596 | When? |
12596 | Where? 12596 Where?" |
12596 | White satin, my dear? 12596 Who else? |
12596 | Who knows what Anne knows? 12596 Who tol''you dey wuz ours?" |
12596 | Who''s to prove it? |
12596 | Who, us? 12596 Whut dey atter somebuddy_ for_?" |
12596 | Whut you been doin''? |
12596 | Whut you do hit for? |
12596 | Why are you so bent on him an''me marryin''? 12596 Why did you do it?" |
12596 | Why not now? |
12596 | Why on earth should he have anything the matter with him? |
12596 | Why should I regret it? |
12596 | Why should it? 12596 Why, then, do you not have this abominable marriage annulled?" |
12596 | Why? |
12596 | Why? |
12596 | Will ten dollars be enough for you? |
12596 | With me? 12596 Yes, Uncle Chadwick?" |
12596 | Yes? |
12596 | You agree? |
12596 | You are sure? |
12596 | You are very, very sure, Anne? |
12596 | You care? |
12596 | You have had-- a disappointment? 12596 You knew I would be here?" |
12596 | You mean if she wo n''t come? 12596 You mean you know my name is really Peter Champneys, dearest?" |
12596 | You mean-- to go away from here-- to study? 12596 You see?" |
12596 | You 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? |
12596 | You wish me to go? |
12596 | You wish, then, to leave your aunt? |
12596 | You''ll go? |
12596 | You''re aimin''to give us both a whole lot, ai n''t you? 12596 You_ are_ real, ai n''t you?" |
12596 | Your 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? |
12596 | After a moment she said gravely:"You came?" |
12596 | After a pause she asked, in a subdued voice:"You expect to stay in this town long?" |
12596 | Agata''s"Si?" |
12596 | Ah, darling, why not let everything go and marry me at once?" |
12596 | Ah, why not, indeed? |
12596 | Ai n''t it hard enough as it is, without me havin''to feel more horrid than what I do already? |
12596 | Ai n''t it somethin''fierce, though?" |
12596 | All that glittering life Anne Champneys had planned for herself? |
12596 | An old professor, an antiquarian, an archæologist? |
12596 | And Marcia, when he ventured to speak to her about the matter, said cryptically:"Why worry? |
12596 | And a veil?" |
12596 | And after a moment, studying the old man''s face:"He''s rather a remarkable old man, is n''t he?" |
12596 | And after a pause she asked:"Who was-- the keeper of his prison?" |
12596 | And after a pause, he asked, as one putting himself to the test:"Miss Anne-- Nancy-- do you think you could be happy-- with_ me_?" |
12596 | And had n''t Mr. Champneys acknowledged the relationship existing between them, slight and distant though it was? |
12596 | And she asked eagerly:"Do you like it?" |
12596 | And she asked seriously:"What do the people who love you most call you when they speak to you?" |
12596 | And she asked:"What else you know about her?" |
12596 | And then he asked, smilingly:"And you-- what do_ you_ want to be?" |
12596 | And then she asked herself: Well, but could n''t one, anywhere, in any circumstances, make life real for oneself, meet facts unafraid? |
12596 | And then? |
12596 | And to himself he was saying, defiantly:"Well, what else could I expect? |
12596 | And what''s the matter with_ me_?" |
12596 | And when hungry Peter thrust his fork into a tempting piece,"You know who you eatin''?" |
12596 | And where some more of the good luck comes in?" |
12596 | And who wants your old strip of sand and cockspurs? |
12596 | And you have n''t got the money?" |
12596 | And you stay, do n''t you?" |
12596 | Anywhere I went I''d have to go with_ me_, would n''t I? |
12596 | Are n''t you afraid you''ll let the cat out of the bag?" |
12596 | Are you tired of Italy?" |
12596 | Art? |
12596 | As for that, had n''t Chadwick Champneys himself once been as poor as Job''s turkeys? |
12596 | Been decorated several times, had n''t he? |
12596 | Boy, is you evuh hear tell o''Mistuh Abe Linkum? |
12596 | But I-- well, I''d like to know you was livin''in the same town, see?" |
12596 | But are you sure you really want to go along, Emma? |
12596 | But between now and then, what you want I should do?" |
12596 | But how would Jason consider such a move? |
12596 | But suppose a spring thaw should set in-- what then? |
12596 | But that costs money? |
12596 | But wherein was she so unusual? |
12596 | But would you mind telling me just_ why_ you want to come with me-- aside from the painting?" |
12596 | By what name, then, shall the one who loves you most call you?" |
12596 | Ca n''t you stand a lady somethin''to eat an''maybe somethin''to drink?" |
12596 | Care? |
12596 | Champneys?" |
12596 | Champneys?" |
12596 | Clothes made for me especial? |
12596 | Could Mr. Vandervelde give any information? |
12596 | Could n''t they understand he did n''t want to talk? |
12596 | Did n''t he want to see it? |
12596 | Did n''t they understand that those who had really seen, those who knew, were n''t doing any talking? |
12596 | Do you follow me?" |
12596 | Do you not recognize me? |
12596 | Do you remember that place you found, in Maine, I think? |
12596 | Do you understand that?" |
12596 | Do you want to be what you say you want to be hard enough to be willing to pay the price for it?" |
12596 | Do you want to go directly home?" |
12596 | Does it make you as happy because I love you as it makes me because you love me?" |
12596 | Get at the truths, somehow? |
12596 | Goin''where?" |
12596 | Going to be an artist, was he? |
12596 | Had he really returned to New York? |
12596 | Had n''t he paid too high a price, after all? |
12596 | Had n''t he the-- proper sense of what this devil had done? |
12596 | Had she found happiness for herself? |
12596 | Had she no heart, as the Italian lamented? |
12596 | Half an hour? |
12596 | Has n''t he relatives in Charleston? |
12596 | Has you resigned your job that you got ta pick out the parler to set in whilst I''m doin''your work for you?" |
12596 | Have I been unkind to you?" |
12596 | Have you got anything I can see?" |
12596 | Have you the remotest idea_ who_ I am? |
12596 | He ai n''t got nothin''the matter with him, has he?" |
12596 | He asked again:"But what am I to do?" |
12596 | He asked fiercely:"You loved him, once?" |
12596 | He asked gently:"What is it you are so afraid of, Gracie? |
12596 | He asked unexpectedly:"Would you like to go away for a while? |
12596 | He 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? |
12596 | He had married her for the same reason she had married him, had n''t he? |
12596 | He mumbled:"Is you got any w''isky, Da''Nepshun? |
12596 | He said aloud, cheerfully,"Well, why not?" |
12596 | He was an_ orphan_? |
12596 | He was as well born as any Champneys, was n''t he? |
12596 | He''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? |
12596 | His family approved? |
12596 | How I gwine stan''by my alonese''f now? |
12596 | How could Glenn, who had seemed to love her so greatly, turn against her so instantly? |
12596 | How did he learn that the great last lover was wooing her away? |
12596 | How else, he asked himself, was he to make her understand? |
12596 | How soon can you be ready?" |
12596 | How soon can you get six dozen bride roses up here, to Mr. Vandervelde''s office? |
12596 | How''d you like it yourself?" |
12596 | How''s_ he_ qualifyin''? |
12596 | How, he asked himself desperately, was one to make a dent in her appalling ignorance? |
12596 | I ai n''t no more nor no less a lady than I was before I done it, am I? |
12596 | I got a swell suit- case, did n''t I? |
12596 | I got the right to ask why, then, ai n''t I? |
12596 | I know it, because on Tuesday last something happened to put me in mind of it-- or was it Wednesday, maybe? |
12596 | I need a muzzle, do I? |
12596 | I''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?" |
12596 | I''m crazy about you, do n''t you know that? |
12596 | I? |
12596 | If I''ve got two, and they do n''t want to part with me, why should they have to?" |
12596 | If one should ask him,"What''s the shape of the milkweed butterfly''s wing, and the color of the spice- bush swallowtail, Peter Champneys? |
12596 | If she did n''t look out for herself, who would? |
12596 | If 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?" |
12596 | Is he so much I''m nothin''? |
12596 | Is it partic''ler?" |
12596 | Is it possible you do not know?" |
12596 | Is n''t there something you''d like?" |
12596 | Is n''t there something you''d like?" |
12596 | Is that perfectly clear to you?" |
12596 | It 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? |
12596 | It was only fair now that Chadwick Champneys''s wishes should come in for at least a little attention, was n''t it? |
12596 | It''s a picture, ai n''t it? |
12596 | Jason, have you ever seen anything to equal her team- work? |
12596 | Just exactly how does the affair stand?" |
12596 | Just remain her guide, philosopher, and friend, ca n''t you?" |
12596 | Lawd''a''mussy, ai n''t I wiped''is nose en dusted''is britches sense he bawn? |
12596 | Like it? |
12596 | Look at these beastly breeches of yours, will you? |
12596 | Look here a minute, will you?" |
12596 | Look here, confound it!--""Who gwine look after''i m? |
12596 | Lynwood was some three miles from the River Swamp, and shall a gentleman allow a lady to lug her belongings that distance? |
12596 | May I? |
12596 | Milly''s niece will be safe in your keeping.--Well?" |
12596 | Minding children? |
12596 | Money? |
12596 | Nancy, why did you do such a thing-- to_ me_?" |
12596 | Neither could he ignore the stern question: what was he going to do with the Champneys wealth? |
12596 | No kids to mind, neither day nor night?" |
12596 | No? |
12596 | Not crazy, nor a dope, nor nothin''?" |
12596 | Not hand- me- downs an''left- overs? |
12596 | Now, do you see?" |
12596 | Oh, was she so fair in his eyes? |
12596 | Oh, where was the sheriff? |
12596 | Old clothes? |
12596 | One Sunday afternoon he said to Emma Campbell, seriously:"You''ve never laid eyes on a goddess, Emma, have you? |
12596 | Opposition? |
12596 | Or a nymph? |
12596 | Or had he really told him anything? |
12596 | Or was it? |
12596 | Or, are you just a softy fool that a girl that picks him up in the streets can trim? |
12596 | Peter Champneys? |
12596 | Peter was tormented, confronted by the inexorable question:"What am_ I_ going to do about it?" |
12596 | Position? |
12596 | Presently he ventured to ask her, timidly:"Shall I go for somebody, Mother?" |
12596 | Riley,''can I? |
12596 | Say, 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? |
12596 | She had n''t asked him to make his nephew marry her, had she? |
12596 | She learned the equivalents for a few phrases of her own,--"I hongry,""How much?" |
12596 | She looked up with a tremulous smile:"My godfather''s order, Henri?" |
12596 | She made no further attempt to explain or to exculpate herself; what was the use? |
12596 | She said, after a pause:"Does Anne know?" |
12596 | She wanted-- well, what did she want, anyhow? |
12596 | She would howl piercingly:"Befo''dis time anothuh yeah, I ma- ay be gone, Een some ole lone- some graveyahd, O Lawd, ho- ow long?" |
12596 | Should he tell them about her? |
12596 | Should you like to look over it now? |
12596 | Should you say sixty guineas would be a fair price for this?" |
12596 | Suppose he died: what of her? |
12596 | Suppose he recovered: what then? |
12596 | Suppose one waited? |
12596 | Surely she is n''t going to allow herself to be bound by that old lunatic''s will, is she?" |
12596 | That droll young man was then amusing himself by living in the Quartier? |
12596 | That is her relationship to your mother and to my wife, I believe?" |
12596 | That is why I must ask you: What are you going to do about Peter Champneys?" |
12596 | The Champneys money? |
12596 | Then a thick voice spoke, muffled by the intervening door:"Daddy Nepshun, is you awake? |
12596 | Then why should he think himself a whit better than she was? |
12596 | There may be some young fellow you think you fancy? |
12596 | There was an ignorant and undisciplined boy--""You?" |
12596 | There was an ignorant and undisciplined young girl--""You?" |
12596 | There were times when he asked himself,''Why do n''t I blow out my brains and escape?'' |
12596 | There''s a whole world to travel in, is n''t there? |
12596 | Threatenin''a father of a family, are you?" |
12596 | To begin with, do you like living with your mother''s step- sister? |
12596 | To see real pictures-- and be a student under a real teacher?" |
12596 | To travel?" |
12596 | Very well, then: did not that suffice? |
12596 | Was Neptune like all other-- niggers? |
12596 | Was he not himself? |
12596 | Was her apparent utter unconsciousness of the effect she produced a superfine art? |
12596 | Was it true that the American painter was very wealthy? |
12596 | Was n''t a steam- piano perfectly grand? |
12596 | Was n''t he born in South Carolina? |
12596 | Was n''t it hers? |
12596 | Was n''t it possible Peter might fall in love with somebody, and divorce her? |
12596 | Was n''t it wiser to take what life offered, drain the cup, and let come what might? |
12596 | Was n''t matrimony rather a small price to pay for it? |
12596 | Was n''t she happy? |
12596 | Was she to accept as final that contract which would make her the unloved wife of an unloved husband? |
12596 | Was she unthinkably simple and natural, or was she immeasurably deep? |
12596 | Was there some reason? |
12596 | Was this the chance his mother had said would come? |
12596 | We''re both of us a mighty nice pair, ai n''t we? |
12596 | Well, but suppose she defied him? |
12596 | Whah is You dis night? |
12596 | Whah is You?" |
12596 | What are we coming to? |
12596 | What are you thinking of?" |
12596 | What did she feel? |
12596 | What did she think he was, anyhow? |
12596 | What did she think? |
12596 | What do I do for what I get?" |
12596 | What do you say?" |
12596 | What does the humming- bird''s nest look like? |
12596 | What else should it be?" |
12596 | What had Mr. Champneys told him? |
12596 | What harm was she doing in letting Glenn love her? |
12596 | What in creation you mean, gassin''this hour o''day when them biscuits is burnin''up in the oven? |
12596 | What more you want?" |
12596 | What must be done for her? |
12596 | What of me, Anne?" |
12596 | What the hell do I care what you do with it?" |
12596 | What the mischief was happening up there in Maine, anyhow? |
12596 | What was Hecuba to him or he to Hecuba? |
12596 | What was his latest picture? |
12596 | What was the use of anything? |
12596 | What was you wantin''to see me about, Mister?" |
12596 | What were his present and future plans? |
12596 | What you askin''_ him_ to do to please_ me_? |
12596 | What you doin''?" |
12596 | What you pickin''on me for, then? |
12596 | What you really mean I''m to do?" |
12596 | What''s been doin''here?" |
12596 | What''s come over the girl? |
12596 | What''s that?" |
12596 | What''s the color of the rainbow- snake and of the cotton- mouth moccasin? |
12596 | What''s the difference between the ironweed and the aster?" |
12596 | What''s the use of waiting all our lives, maybe, when we love each other? |
12596 | What, the cat, too?" |
12596 | What, then, should she do? |
12596 | What_ is_ one to do for these Gracies? |
12596 | When Jake had gulped this down, Neptune asked again, inexorably:"Whut you been doin'', Jake?" |
12596 | When was it he first noticed that for all his love and care he was n''t going to be able to keep Denise? |
12596 | When will you marry me, Nancy?" |
12596 | When, Beloved Lady?" |
12596 | Where do they come in, these dispossessed dark sons of the Father? |
12596 | Where you goin''to when you go?" |
12596 | Where''s that place, Jason? |
12596 | Where''s the nigger in the woodpile? |
12596 | Who cared for her love? |
12596 | Who ever heard the beat? |
12596 | Who shall say that the Admiral was n''t a fairy? |
12596 | Who to? |
12596 | Who with, for Gawdsake? |
12596 | Who you''speck ought to look after Miss Maria''s chile,''ceptin''ole Emma Campbell? |
12596 | Who''d have the effrontery to look down on one of the Mitchells of Mitchellsville, South Carolina? |
12596 | Who''s goin''? |
12596 | Who, me? |
12596 | Whut you been up to, Jake?" |
12596 | Whut_ you_ care? |
12596 | Why any of us, anyhow? |
12596 | Why ca n''t you suggest something, and help out a woman old enough to be your mother?" |
12596 | Why did n''t the sheriff come? |
12596 | Why do n''t you say when, Nancy?" |
12596 | Why not announce it formally, and have the marriage follow immediately? |
12596 | Why not go to a little place he knew, a quiet and very beautiful place on the Maine coast? |
12596 | Why not snatch her chance of happiness, even though it should be brief? |
12596 | Why not? |
12596 | Why should he stand aside and let her go, for such a shadow as that ceremony had been? |
12596 | Why should it? |
12596 | Why should n''t he and Anne? |
12596 | Why should n''t that family be the Champneyses? |
12596 | Why should n''t the Champneyses be restored to their old place, put where they rightfully belong? |
12596 | Why should n''t this?" |
12596 | Why should she go, and leave the road clear for Peter Champneys? |
12596 | Why should they waste time? |
12596 | Why?" |
12596 | Will you come?" |
12596 | Will you?" |
12596 | With no relations save that old uncle whose heir he was? |
12596 | Would he go and look at it with her? |
12596 | Would she explain as concisely as possible just why and for whom she had come? |
12596 | Would there be just a calm brook flowing underneath placid willows, or a tempestuous torrent sweeping all before it? |
12596 | Yes? |
12596 | Yes? |
12596 | You ai n''t ever lucky in the fact''ry: you never have nothin'', see? |
12596 | You are certain you mean to marry him?" |
12596 | You ca n''t eat and wear a measly little house, can you? |
12596 | You can? |
12596 | You dat uppidy dese days, whut_ you_ care''bout eatin''up po''lil Lula? |
12596 | You mean that Red Admiral that just whizzed by? |
12596 | You see?" |
12596 | You sure that feller ai n''t got nothin''ails him? |
12596 | You surely know about everything you''ve got in this store, do n''t you? |
12596 | You think she should n''t?" |
12596 | You want I should come up there after you? |
12596 | You want to know what Milly''s niece looks like?" |
12596 | You wished to see me?" |
12596 | You''_ taken''_ it? |
12596 | You''re not in love, Son, are you? |
12596 | You''re twenty now, are you not? |
12596 | You?" |
12596 | did n''t I say shut up?" |
12596 | do you dream I would ruin my nephew''s life for a self- willed, undisciplined minx? |
12596 | said she, in the friendliest fashion,"where did_ you_ come from?" |
12596 | what my name is?" |
12596 | why?" |
17690 | ''Taken,''you say? 17690 ''Tis a monstrous doleful alternative,_ n''est- ce pas_? |
17690 | ''Tis no time for riddles; what mean you? |
17690 | A duty, say you? 17690 A lie, you say? |
17690 | A lunatic, eh? 17690 A spy, eh? |
17690 | A spy? 17690 A victory?" |
17690 | A week? |
17690 | A wrong? 17690 Ah, Captain Ireton;''tis you, is it? |
17690 | Ah? 17690 All?" |
17690 | Alone? |
17690 | Am I? 17690 An Ireton, you say? |
17690 | Anan? |
17690 | Anan? |
17690 | Anan? |
17690 | And Captain Sir Francis Falconnet with them? |
17690 | And for that you struck him? 17690 And he dared lay a foul tongue to her, you say? |
17690 | And he sent you to save me? |
17690 | And how long will that be, think you? |
17690 | And if I refuse? |
17690 | And is that strange? 17690 And leave you behind?" |
17690 | And my father? |
17690 | And so make me a consenting accomplice? 17690 And that word will be--?" |
17690 | And then? |
17690 | And what for no? 17690 And what may your errand be? |
17690 | And whose fault is that, ye cold- blooded stick? 17690 And why not, pray? |
17690 | And why not? 17690 And yet you have n''t hanged him?" |
17690 | And you are here to do it of your own free will? |
17690 | And you are the son of Mr. Justice Roger Ireton, of Appleby Hundred? |
17690 | And you have been a rebel from the first? |
17690 | And you have been here all the time? |
17690 | And you say you do not know her? 17690 And you will join the army at the front and leave Margery to his tender mercies?" |
17690 | And you with your head humming like a basket of bees, as I make no doubt it will? |
17690 | Another man? |
17690 | Anthony? |
17690 | Appleby Hundred? |
17690 | Are you not afire with shame, Captain Ireton? |
17690 | Are you not once again his guest, Captain Ireton? |
17690 | Are you ready, Dick? |
17690 | Are you strong enough to stand in that elder brother''s place again to- night? |
17690 | As between King and Congress, you mean? 17690 As how?" |
17690 | As how? |
17690 | At Camden, you mean? 17690 Aye, Richard, I have wronged you, wronged you desperately; can you hear me yet? |
17690 | Because I tried to warn you? |
17690 | Business? |
17690 | But Madge? |
17690 | But he has told you what you must do? |
17690 | But how the devil came he here? 17690 But if I say there may be?" |
17690 | But what if one of us be taken? 17690 But where are we?" |
17690 | But whither? |
17690 | But you have had some word-- some news-- from Appleby Hundred? |
17690 | But you say you have heard, as well? |
17690 | But you will hang him, Sir Francis? 17690 But you will, Jack? |
17690 | But you, Ephraim, and the chief, here; are you two running away like all the others? |
17690 | But you? |
17690 | But you? |
17690 | But your father? |
17690 | But-- but Margery? |
17690 | Can not, you say? |
17690 | Can you read it? |
17690 | Cap''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?" |
17690 | Captain Long- knife will go and fight for his black dogs with wool on their heads? |
17690 | Chief Harris? |
17690 | Could I guess that you would come here, into the very noose of the gallows? 17690 D''ye-- d''ye mean to kill us both?" |
17690 | Dare not, you say? 17690 De Kalb?" |
17690 | Dick, you passed this way an hour ago; was that breastwork in the road then? |
17690 | Did I know it? |
17690 | Did I not say I had forgotten it? |
17690 | Did I? 17690 Did he make you his deputy to tell me so, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Did she tell you why she must refuse you? |
17690 | Did you come here, under the shadow of the gallows, to tell me this, Monsieur John? |
17690 | Did you mean that, friend?--about the hanging? |
17690 | Do I, indeed,_ mon ami_? |
17690 | Do n''t you see? 17690 Do you come thus into my father''s house and take a wounded guest and hang him? |
17690 | Do you know what it was? |
17690 | Do you know what this packet contains? |
17690 | Do you know who it was? |
17690 | Do you mean that you kidnapped Mistress Stair to draw us out of hiding? |
17690 | Do you never give a moment''s thought to the feelings of others, Captain Ireton? |
17690 | Dost love her, Dick? |
17690 | Ever come any closter to your Amen than that, stranger? |
17690 | Ez I allow, I never heerd tell of any Injuns a- doing that- away afore; have you, Chief? 17690 Falconnet is still at Appleby Hundred?" |
17690 | For thinking I had poisoned you? 17690 For what?" |
17690 | From my Lord, ye say? 17690 Going away?" |
17690 | Has Cornwallis lost his wits? |
17690 | Has ever word been brought you that he would speed your parting? |
17690 | Has it never come intil your thick numbskull that the poor fule lassie is sick wi''love for ye, ye dour- faced loon? |
17690 | Has this fiend incarnate killed my poor lad? |
17690 | Have I? |
17690 | Have they not told ye? 17690 Have you ever an inkhorn and a quill in your cabin?" |
17690 | Have you heard the newest? 17690 Have you marked out a line of retreat?" |
17690 | Have you no news? |
17690 | Have you seen him? |
17690 | He has not seen Dick; does he know we are both here? |
17690 | Here''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?" |
17690 | How came you to go about picking a quarrel with Sir Francis? |
17690 | How can it well be less than treason? |
17690 | How can you ask? 17690 How did we come out of it, Jack?" |
17690 | How did you get your speech with her? |
17690 | How do you know this? |
17690 | How does the chief know that? 17690 How in tarnation am I going to know which''she''he''s a- stewing about? |
17690 | How is that? |
17690 | How now, Captain Ireton? 17690 How now, lad?" |
17690 | How so? |
17690 | How was that? |
17690 | How will it be, Eph? |
17690 | How? |
17690 | How? |
17690 | I am for a dip in the river; what say you? |
17690 | I say you would not have written it so; is not that the truth? |
17690 | I serve you? |
17690 | I-- 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? |
17690 | I? 17690 I? |
17690 | If I had not, should I be here this moment? |
17690 | If 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? |
17690 | If he knows I am here, why does he let them search elsewhere? |
17690 | If you refuse? 17690 If you should die intestate, this Septimus would be your heir?" |
17690 | In what manner, your Lordship? |
17690 | Is it-- about-- Sir Francis? |
17690 | Is my Lord gone? |
17690 | Is she safe in bed? |
17690 | Is that all the chief saw? |
17690 | Is that all? |
17690 | Is that generous, Captain Ireton? 17690 Is that what marriage means to you, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Is this a time to harbor bitter thoughts? 17690 Is-- is there any one here whom you would see?" |
17690 | It is your Lordship''s meaning that I should be quartered here?--in this house? |
17690 | It should be easy enough-- what think you? |
17690 | Kill them in cold blood? |
17690 | Know you? 17690 Lacking, d''ye say?" |
17690 | Madge, d''ye say? 17690 Manitou Cornwally fool Great War Chief, mebbe, hey?" |
17690 | Margery Stair? 17690 May we count upon twenty- four hours, think you, Colonel?" |
17690 | Mayhap you overheard me say it, Monsieur Eavesdropper? |
17690 | Mistress Margery, you mean? 17690 Nay, rather, who are you?" |
17690 | Nay,he said, very gently;"you need not go so high for a witness; have I not seen?" |
17690 | No want kill Captain Jennif'', hey? |
17690 | Not anything at all? |
17690 | Not married? 17690 Not once?" |
17690 | Now how in the name of all the fiends did they make shift to burrow from yonder bag- bottom into this? |
17690 | Now what a- devil has set this hornet''s nest of theirs abuzz so suddenly? |
17690 | Now who are these? |
17690 | Now who is daft? |
17690 | Now, then; how much or how little have you two blabbed of the doings at Appleby Hundred some weeks since? |
17690 | Of course you know that the confiscation act of the North Carolina Congress re- established my right and title to the estate? |
17690 | Of her own free will? |
17690 | Of what use would it be? 17690 Oh, why did you bring him here? |
17690 | Oh, why did you come? 17690 Oh, you have?" |
17690 | Oh; an affair of honor? 17690 On your information?" |
17690 | Once more, Captain Falconnet, will you let me pass? |
17690 | One question first, is Richard Jennifer safe? |
17690 | Safe? 17690 Saw you ever a man worthy the name who could be content to bide inactive when duty calls?" |
17690 | Saw you ever a play in this backwoods wilderness? |
17690 | Saw 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? |
17690 | Say you so, Richard Jennifer? 17690 Say you so? |
17690 | Say you so? 17690 Shall we never have the better of these senseless vaporings?" |
17690 | She will do it, think you? |
17690 | She will, ye say? 17690 So Falconnet is on terms at Appleby Hundred, is he?" |
17690 | So ho? 17690 So long? |
17690 | So the priest carried tales, did he? 17690 So you know of the major and his doings? |
17690 | So, you are awake, Mistress Margery? 17690 So; some one has betrayed me?" |
17690 | So? 17690 So?" |
17690 | So? |
17690 | So? |
17690 | So? |
17690 | So? |
17690 | So?--then you knew of that order? |
17690 | Stay; 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?" |
17690 | That lang- legged jackanapes of a Dickie Jennifer? 17690 That little smirking wretch? |
17690 | That will be a shrewd guess of yours, I take it, Ephraim? |
17690 | The white squaw? |
17690 | Then Mistress Margery sent you here to save me? |
17690 | Then it was a farrago of lies you told me about your adventures in the western mountains? |
17690 | Then she is alive and safe? |
17690 | Then the chief came off safely? |
17690 | Then they have gone? |
17690 | Then they have taken him and the Catawba, as well? |
17690 | Then they were all mistaken? 17690 Then this is not your first knowing of him?" |
17690 | Then we are to hold on all and wait still longer? |
17690 | Then you are free to call it treason, are you, Margery? |
17690 | Then you are not committed to Colonel Sevier for a term of service? |
17690 | Then you do not love Madge more? |
17690 | Then you forgive me? |
17690 | Then you will not by so much undo the wrong you have done me, Captain Falconnet? |
17690 | Then you would have me marry Richard Jennifer? |
17690 | Then your Lordship will order him to come in with what he has? |
17690 | They say I am good only to fetch and carry-- may I fetch you anything? |
17690 | This Catawba: is he a man about my age? |
17690 | This will be ours to walk through, will it not, Colonel Tarleton? |
17690 | This; that we go to Witherby Hall and get speech with Mistress Madge, if so be--"Stay a moment; who are these Witherbys? |
17690 | Three of them, do you say? |
17690 | To be shot or hanged a little later, I suppose? |
17690 | To choose between love and wifely duty? 17690 To myself? |
17690 | To tell me this? |
17690 | Truly? |
17690 | Trust you, Jack? 17690 Uncanoola?" |
17690 | Vat 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?" |
17690 | We can make it across? 17690 We were taken together?" |
17690 | Well, then; you''d best be off while you may; d''ye hear? 17690 Well, what is it that you think?" |
17690 | Well, what luck? |
17690 | Well, what of him? 17690 Well, your gran''dad, then; can you take me to him?" |
17690 | Well,said he, speaking slowly, as one who thinks the path out word by word,"what if she believes''tis you who want your freedom? |
17690 | Well? 17690 Well?" |
17690 | Well? |
17690 | Well? |
17690 | Well? |
17690 | Were you my friend, as well, is this as you would have it? |
17690 | Wha-- what''s that ye say? |
17690 | What a devil will you make of this? |
17690 | What are your plans, Richard? |
17690 | What brought him over- seas, Sir Francis? |
17690 | What business can you have with Mistress Madge Stair, pray? |
17690 | What did she say of me, Jack? 17690 What did you dream?" |
17690 | What do you know? |
17690 | What else did she say? |
17690 | What folly is this, sir? |
17690 | What for Captain Jennif''think papoose thinks''bout the Gray Wolf and poor Injun? 17690 What for it, then?" |
17690 | What has your father told you, Margery? |
17690 | What have I done that you should come here to have yourself hanged for a spy? |
17690 | What have you done with her? |
17690 | What is Margery Stair to you, Jack Ireton? |
17690 | What 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?" |
17690 | What is it, Jack? |
17690 | What is it, Jack? |
17690 | What is it, then?--besides the fact that I am Roger Ireton''s son? |
17690 | What is it? |
17690 | What is it? |
17690 | What is it? |
17690 | What is this, gentlemen?--a court martial? 17690 What is to the fore, Dick?" |
17690 | What is your plan? |
17690 | What know you of the king, little one? |
17690 | What made you mad, Monsieur John? |
17690 | What new wonder is this? |
17690 | What next? |
17690 | What of the dear friend to whom you would give up even the love of your mistress? |
17690 | What say ye, Cap''n John? 17690 What say you, Dick?" |
17690 | What say you, Jack? 17690 What say you, Jack? |
17690 | What should I say? 17690 What spy?" |
17690 | What things? |
17690 | What was it, then? |
17690 | What was that? |
17690 | What weighty thing have you to do that you should be so fierce to be about it, Monsieur Impetuous? |
17690 | What will you do with him, Captain Lauswoulter? 17690 What would you call''the best''if I may ask?" |
17690 | What would you? 17690 What''s that ye''re saying, youngster?" |
17690 | What''s your mind about it, hey, Chief? |
17690 | Where are your masters now? |
17690 | Where are your wits this morning, gentlemen? 17690 Where is the chief, Ephraim?" |
17690 | Where is the chief, think you? |
17690 | Where will that be, think you? 17690 Where will you go? |
17690 | Where''bouts Captain Long- knife going? |
17690 | Where? 17690 Which way will it be, north or south?" |
17690 | Whither, if I may ask? |
17690 | Who is she? |
17690 | Who is your next of kin, Captain Ireton? |
17690 | Who may he be? |
17690 | Who says that word of me? |
17690 | Who slandered her like this, Dick? 17690 Why do n''t you speak, sir?" |
17690 | Why 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?" |
17690 | Why not strike for the Great Trace, and so go back the way the powder convoy came? |
17690 | Why should you lie and lie again, when any one could see that it must come to this-- or worse? |
17690 | Why should you not, my dear? |
17690 | Why? |
17690 | Will the Catawba tell the friend whose life he saved what he has seen? |
17690 | Will this business take you without the lines? |
17690 | Will you never have done taking my honor and your own life into your reckless hands? |
17690 | Will you squander the last moment in silly questions? |
17690 | Wo n''t you find her for me, Cappy Jack? |
17690 | Would not your sword suffice against a man with empty hands? |
17690 | Would 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? |
17690 | Yeates? |
17690 | Yes? |
17690 | You and three others? |
17690 | You 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?" |
17690 | You have come to take us back to my father? |
17690 | You have given it all to the king? |
17690 | You have made all your dispositions, Major? |
17690 | You have seen nothing, Gordon? |
17690 | You heard what he had to say? |
17690 | You know the town, I take it? |
17690 | You make it out? |
17690 | You may grin as you please,he went on;"but answer me this; do the dead come back to life?" |
17690 | You mean that you are going to help me escape? 17690 You refuse?" |
17690 | You say you left it behind you at New Berne? |
17690 | You say you love her, Dick; can you believe her capable of this, and yet go on loving her? |
17690 | You 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?" |
17690 | You 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? |
17690 | You will keep faith with me, dear lady; do you hear? 17690 You will not kill him when I am gone, Monsieur John?" |
17690 | You''ll go ashore? |
17690 | You''re the spying rebel captain, eh? 17690 You?--a bearer of Lord Cornwallis''s despatches?" |
17690 | You?--you come between? |
17690 | Young? |
17690 | Your 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?" |
17690 | After a long- drawn sigh of contentment, she said:"My name Polly; what''s yours?" |
17690 | After a time she said:"Why did you make me marry you, Monsieur John? |
17690 | Ai n''t they got all the time there is to get where they''re a- going, immejitly,_ if_ not sooner?" |
17690 | Ai n''t we, Chief, hey?" |
17690 | And as for Margery? |
17690 | And for this single lamb of your scant fold you brave the terrors of our heretic backwoods? |
17690 | And how do you thank me? |
17690 | And if I do chance to see her-- what then?" |
17690 | And if his thirst was for vengeance, how could he quench it in a deeper draft than by harrying the woman we both loved? |
17690 | And it come from yonder, did n''t it?" |
17690 | And now about the settlements, Captain Ireton; you''ll be making her legatee residuary?" |
17690 | And now will you let me take you to your gran''dad?" |
17690 | And so this Highland piper has been your fencing master, has he?" |
17690 | And surely it was the love- demon in me that made me say:"You think I am standing in your way, Richard Jennifer? |
17690 | And 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?" |
17690 | And then to Ephraim Yeates:"Will this rain kill the trail, think you?" |
17690 | And then to me:"Go on, sir, if you please; there has been a battle, as I take it?" |
17690 | And then to my poor frighted love:"Have you no shame, Mistress Margery Stair?" |
17690 | And then, like lightning:"Will you raise a band of rebels and come and take your own again?" |
17690 | And then, out of the honest English heart of him:"Have you made your peace, Captain? |
17690 | And then:"Can you pick out a good horse in the dark, Jack? |
17690 | And then:"Of course he promptly''listed with the rebels when he came? |
17690 | And then:"Who the devil are ye, anyway; and what do ye want wi''me?" |
17690 | And then:"Will you lead the way to your room, sir?" |
17690 | And was there not something about a rescue at the last moment by a band of these border bravos? |
17690 | And what will become o''the braw acres of Appleby that gait, I''d like to know? |
17690 | And when I had obeyed:"I think you must know what I''ve come for, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | And when she spoke it was only to say:"Are you not most monstrous ashamed, Monsieur John?" |
17690 | And when she stood before me like a bidden child:"Tell me, little comrade, who is that other?" |
17690 | And why, misliking me, as I made sure he did, should he be so hot to make the shadow marriage a thing of substance? |
17690 | Another instant and she was with us, stamping her foot and crying:"_ Mon Dieu!_ what is this? |
17690 | Are you alive enough to hang?" |
17690 | Are you game for it?" |
17690 | Are you gone mad, both of you?" |
17690 | Are you strong enough to have your wound dressed?" |
17690 | Are you-- are you what they said you were?" |
17690 | At Charlotte?" |
17690 | Besides--""Well, what is there else besides? |
17690 | But Richard Jennifer-- what had become of him? |
17690 | But all this was in the early summer, you say; where have you been since?" |
17690 | But can it be brought off successfully, think you?" |
17690 | But ere I slept a hand was laid on my shoulder, and a voice that I knew well, said:"Are you waking yet, Jack?" |
17690 | But 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?" |
17690 | But here Dick went back to my warning, saying, whilst we let the horses drink:"''Tis patrolled on the other bank, you say?" |
17690 | But how came you to know?" |
17690 | But how is this? |
17690 | But nothing would ever tempt you to be so masterful rough, would it, Monsieur John? |
17690 | But now''tis done, I hope ye''re prepared to make the best of it?" |
17690 | But tell me, Jack-- I''m new to this game-- what''s to do first when we are among them?" |
17690 | But 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?" |
17690 | But to the other-- the matter which has brought me hither; will you put me in the way of finding Father Matthieu?" |
17690 | But what can I say? |
17690 | But what''s in the wind, Captain? |
17690 | But why do n''t you knot the halter? |
17690 | But you are bound in honor, are you not?" |
17690 | But you are older at this business than any of us, Jack; what think you of our chances?" |
17690 | But you ask why I come: could I do less than come, dear friend?" |
17690 | Call hisself the Great Bear, hey? |
17690 | Can I do less than hold you to your pledge?" |
17690 | Can I say more?" |
17690 | Can you guess who it is?" |
17690 | Can you not endure it a little longer, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Can you repeat from memory the_ postscriptum_ which you say was added to it?" |
17690 | Can you tell me why?" |
17690 | Can you trust me with her?" |
17690 | Could I be mistaken? |
17690 | Could I make use of it to come unseen into the council chamber of Lord Cornwallis and his officers? |
17690 | Damme, Sir Francis, I know not why he came-- how should I know?" |
17690 | Did I not tell you you had thrust an inch or so too high? |
17690 | Did 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? |
17690 | Do I look as if I ate people?" |
17690 | Do I not pamper you enough?" |
17690 | Do they know the major''s present whereabouts?" |
17690 | Do they limit you to a single candle when my back is turned?" |
17690 | Do you accept the terms?" |
17690 | Do you bring us news from the major?" |
17690 | Do you come from her?" |
17690 | Do you greatly blame me, Margery?" |
17690 | Do you happen to know that this volunteer captain of light- horse is accounted the best blade in the troop?" |
17690 | Do you hear, sir? |
17690 | Do you keep open house for the king''s enemies? |
17690 | Do you mind that little interval in the Cherokees''torture- play when they came to bind us afresh for the burning?" |
17690 | Do you need a friend to go with you?" |
17690 | Do you speak by the book?" |
17690 | Do you understand?" |
17690 | Do you wonder that I have been reckless of the hangman? |
17690 | Do 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? |
17690 | Does she love you?--has she said she loves you?" |
17690 | Does that mean that you have spirited her away since last night?" |
17690 | Does your Lordship take me?" |
17690 | For was she not a soldier''s wife? |
17690 | Had you ever thought that the Church can undo what the Church has done?" |
17690 | Had you forgotten the stair at the back?" |
17690 | Has he seen him?" |
17690 | Has she not taken her affair into her own hands?" |
17690 | Has she not told you?" |
17690 | Has the old Gray Wolf gone stun- blind? |
17690 | Have I been ailing?" |
17690 | Have the goodness to ring the bell for me, will you, Captain?" |
17690 | Have you any notion why my Lord Charles is sending for you?" |
17690 | Have you aught further to say, Captain Ireton?--aught that may excuse us for not leaving you behind us in a halter?" |
17690 | Have you ever a messenger to send, a man who will risk his life and can be trusted fully?" |
17690 | Have you ever told her that you love her, Jack?" |
17690 | Have you never a touch of human kindliness in you?" |
17690 | Have you never one little grain of imagination, Monsieur John? |
17690 | Have you news, Captain?" |
17690 | How came you to quarrel with him, Jack?" |
17690 | How can I find and dress his hurts in the dark?" |
17690 | How can you know what she thinks of me?" |
17690 | How 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? |
17690 | How do you know I did not?" |
17690 | How is it that love transforms the once contemptible into a thing most highly to be prized? |
17690 | How is that?" |
17690 | How is this, Mistress Margery? |
17690 | How much has your daughter told you of the matter between us?" |
17690 | How much or how little did Lord Cornwallis remember of Colonel Tarleton''s report? |
17690 | How then; do you call it a wrong to rescue you from these brutal savages, Mistress Margery?" |
17690 | I asked;"friends or foes?" |
17690 | I asked;"more fighting?" |
17690 | I broke in roughly,"will you never have done and go to sleep?" |
17690 | I gasped;"''twas you, then? |
17690 | I groaned;"are you a woman, or a fiend?" |
17690 | I love you, Mistress Margery; do you hear? |
17690 | I nursed my knee a moment and then said:"What may one man do to help, Colonel Davie?" |
17690 | I reckon ye''re a- needing that same pretty toler''ble bad, ai n''t ye, little gal?" |
17690 | I shook my head, seeing no special significance in the token; and Dick asked:"What will it be, Ephraim, now that it is caught?" |
17690 | I shut my eyes wilfully when a voice low and tender asked:"Are you awake, Monsieur John?" |
17690 | Is he fit?" |
17690 | Is that what you youngsters was trying to find out?" |
17690 | Is there no way out of this coil that is strangling us both, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Is there not strife enough in this unhappy land without these causeless bickerings?" |
17690 | Is-- is you hungry, Mister Soldier- man?" |
17690 | Loathing her bonds, as any true- hearted maiden must, would Margery consent to have them broken by the law? |
17690 | May I trouble you for the despatches you carry?" |
17690 | Mebbe Captain Jennif''see''um, hey?" |
17690 | Mebbe go up like smoke-- w''at?" |
17690 | Mighty cur''is, that; ai n''t it, now? |
17690 | Moreover, I marvel greatly--""At what?" |
17690 | Nay, rather would they have the courage to try? |
17690 | Nay, what devilish thing was it he might not do? |
17690 | Need I say more?" |
17690 | No, 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? |
17690 | Now that you have made me what I was not before, are you satisfied?" |
17690 | Now who is there to see fair play on your side, John Ireton?" |
17690 | Now will you be off about your business before some spying rascal lays an information against me for harboring you?" |
17690 | Now, says I to myself, what''s the tarnation hurry? |
17690 | Or did I dream it?" |
17690 | Or do I remember badly?" |
17690 | Or was that only another way of telling me to mind my own affairs?" |
17690 | Saying he were free to leave Charlotte, how should he be riding post on my haphazard road to the westward? |
17690 | Shall I bring you another dish of tea? |
17690 | Shall I have Anthony light you up?" |
17690 | Shall I ride down to Jennifer House and fetch Dick here?" |
17690 | Shall we charge and run it through?" |
17690 | Shall we float the canoe and give them all the slip?" |
17690 | Shall we rush them? |
17690 | Sir Francis Falconnet, you know me?" |
17690 | Sleep only one eye, mebbe, hey? |
17690 | So 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? |
17690 | So, when God gives me strength to mount and ride--""Now who is fierce?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Stair?" |
17690 | Suppose-- suppose the Indian did not blunder, dear lord and master of me?" |
17690 | Surely not old Roger''s son?" |
17690 | Surely, you have not to think twice in such a cause?" |
17690 | Tell me this; did I no bundle ye neck and heels into your own wife''s bed- room? |
17690 | Tell me, Captain Ireton, is she fair?" |
17690 | Tell me, Monsieur John; was it nasty bitter?" |
17690 | Tell me, Monsieur Oracle, how do you know it?" |
17690 | Tell me, if you please, must I marry him-- when--""When you are free to do it?" |
17690 | Tell 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?" |
17690 | Tell me; do I love him as his mistress should?" |
17690 | Then I heard the baronet say:"But yet the thing is done?" |
17690 | Then my Lord added:"You are here to take your old service again, I assume?" |
17690 | Then to the Indian:"If we can make the beasts take the water, will you ferry us across, Chief?" |
17690 | Then you are not of the king''s side?" |
17690 | Then you have been playing fast and loose with me as you did with the handsome young planter and that beggarly captain of Austrians? |
17690 | Then you will never have heard the glorious news?" |
17690 | Then, in the same low tone:"But now-- now you would be free again?" |
17690 | Then, 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?" |
17690 | Then, with a swift dart aside from the subject:"Captain Long- knife care much''bout black dogs yonder?" |
17690 | Then:"She writes you about this?" |
17690 | They told me you were gone to join the rebels, did they not?" |
17690 | Think you so?" |
17690 | Thornicroft?" |
17690 | Was I the one to whom her message had been sped? |
17690 | Was ever man so tempted since the fall of Adam? |
17690 | Was it a sharp foreboding of some such resort to savage violence that had tortured her into sending the appeal for help? |
17690 | Was it fair fight when King George''s Indian devils came down in the dead of night upon our defenseless house at Northby? |
17690 | Was this your purpose in making your submission to me?" |
17690 | Were not these your very words?" |
17690 | What all d''ye reckon blackened the end o''this bit o''pine- branch?" |
17690 | What are they saying?" |
17690 | What could I say or do? |
17690 | What could he hope to gain by such a thing?" |
17690 | What do you propose?" |
17690 | What for Captain Long- knife want kill the tree?" |
17690 | What for take white squaw horse?" |
17690 | What grievous hap had befallen my dear lady? |
17690 | What has he to say or do in this?" |
17690 | What have you overheard?" |
17690 | What if there were a hint of truth in Gilbert Stair''s wrathful protest? |
17690 | What if you have made her that bitterest thing in all the world-- a woman scorned?" |
17690 | What if, after all, she cared less for Richard and more for me? |
17690 | What is your charge?" |
17690 | What know you of any other, Monsieur John?" |
17690 | What say, Cap''n John?" |
17690 | What say, Chief?" |
17690 | What shall we do?" |
17690 | What should I know?" |
17690 | What think? |
17690 | What threat was there for me in silent shadows in the wood? |
17690 | What 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? |
17690 | What would he do, or seek to do? |
17690 | What would he think of me? |
17690 | What would you have me do?" |
17690 | What would you say if I should tell you that I, too, have seen your London, and even your Paris?" |
17690 | What''s at the back of all this?" |
17690 | When she spoke again it was to say:"This is your own house, Captain Ireton; what will you do?" |
17690 | Where is your grandfather?" |
17690 | Which tree will you have me at?" |
17690 | Who am I that I should do aught else? |
17690 | Who goes there?" |
17690 | Who goes there?" |
17690 | Who has a better right to look upon her thus? |
17690 | Who is your colonel?" |
17690 | Who may he be? |
17690 | Why do n''t you draw and cut me down?" |
17690 | Why have you come?" |
17690 | Why should I not?" |
17690 | Why should he be so eager to make me think small of Margery''s love for Richard Jennifer? |
17690 | Why should you want to die?" |
17690 | Why, then, had he proposed to Margery? |
17690 | Will that content you?" |
17690 | Will that satisfy ye?" |
17690 | Will you believe me, Margery, if I say I have not yet worn the buff and blue at all?" |
17690 | Will you change your terms?" |
17690 | Will you give me bite and sup before I mount and ride again? |
17690 | Will you go and leave Mistress Margery wanting an answer to her poor little cry for help?" |
17690 | Will you not use them?" |
17690 | Will you ring, or shall I?" |
17690 | Will you say you forgive me, Margery?" |
17690 | Will you send a man to overtake them with a note from me?" |
17690 | Will you shrive me for that disloyalty, dear lady?" |
17690 | Will you sit and let me serve you, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Will you tell me who it was set them on?" |
17690 | Will 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?" |
17690 | Will your horse take that barricade, think you?" |
17690 | Will your-- ah--_duty_ stretch the length of showing me an unwatched door?" |
17690 | Would Jennifer believe my tale, though I should swear it out word for word on the Holy Evangelists? |
17690 | Would it please you best to die a soldier''s death, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | Yet he would mutter, as the teeth- chattering suffered him:"What say you, Jack? |
17690 | You are in disguise, as I take it; do you bring news of the army?" |
17690 | You are no rebel, after all?" |
17690 | You left him hastening to rejoin with his new loyalist levies, I hope?" |
17690 | You love him well, do you not, Monsieur John?" |
17690 | You passed my sentry in the road?" |
17690 | You saw how I must see the matter through to shield the lady?" |
17690 | You saw the paper I signed that night, with Lieutenant Tybee and your father''s factor for the witnesses?" |
17690 | You spoke of a lady; who was she? |
17690 | You would look deep into your sweetheart''s eyes and say-- Tell me what you would say,_ mon ami_?" |
17690 | You''d play the spoil- sport here as you did once before, would you? |
17690 | You''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. |
17690 | and how much or how little was I to blame for this kidnapping of her by my relentless enemy? |
17690 | are you gone clean mad?" |
17690 | did you-- did you twig him, Jack?" |
17690 | has the night''s work gone to your head? |
17690 | he cried,"is it thus you pass an old friend without a word, Captain Ireton?" |
17690 | hey?" |
17690 | or did he read them sign like they''d ort to be read?" |
17690 | said he;"did ever you see such sharp- wit work in all your adventures? |
17690 | said my good friend Tybee, with a little strident laugh,"''tis you I am to take out and hang, is it, Master Lawyer? |
17690 | said the old man, starting back;"then you are for our side? |
17690 | said the patriarch;"are you followed?" |
17690 | says Richard, clapping his hands to his eyes;"where did that come from?" |
17690 | shall we never get into it?" |
17690 | that I care no jot for my interfering life at this moment, save as the taking of it may involve you and Richard?" |
17690 | what can I do for you? |
17690 | what enemy?" |
17690 | what is that?" |
17690 | what to do with him, Jack?" |
17690 | will you never stir?" |
33478 | A black horse did you say? |
33478 | Ah ha, old Truepenny, are you there? |
33478 | And Arthur escaped? 33478 And Butler was not here; you would persuade me so, Mildred?" |
33478 | And Captain St. Jermyn contrived this? |
33478 | And Mildred will be removed forthwith to Charleston? |
33478 | And about two miles beyont-- is squire Lindsay''s, at a place they call the Dove Cote? |
33478 | And as the captain is sorry for it, lads,he concluded,"why, what is to be done but let the thing drop? |
33478 | And belong to the army yet? |
33478 | And can you patiently,exclaimed Tyrrel,"bow to this oppression? |
33478 | And did the cowards strike to seven hundred rebels? |
33478 | And does your father know nothing of this visit? 33478 And had no confederates with him?" |
33478 | And how came this mishap to fall upon you, David? |
33478 | And how does the major bear his troubles? |
33478 | And how have you escaped the levy? |
33478 | And how is that to be managed, friend Horse Shoe? |
33478 | And how might that be? |
33478 | And how shall I do so, Mildred? 33478 And is now with you in the camp, my brave fellows?" |
33478 | And is that all? |
33478 | And is there still? |
33478 | And me, did he speak of me? |
33478 | And no forks in the road betwixt this and the widow''s? |
33478 | And nobody lives in it? 33478 And pray, what is that one quality?" |
33478 | And so it was no ghost, nor spirit,said Horse Shoe,"that the major saw in the night? |
33478 | And the father of Miss Lindsay, you say, resided there? |
33478 | And the officer? |
33478 | And the sentinel who keeps guard on that side? |
33478 | And the utmost length of your journey? |
33478 | And there, if I do n''t disremember,said the traveller,"is a house kept by the widow Dimock; the Blue Ball, I think?" |
33478 | And was that an argument for wishing to fight him? |
33478 | And were paid for it? |
33478 | And what in the devil brought you here? |
33478 | And what is that? |
33478 | And what will he tell me? |
33478 | And where bound? |
33478 | And who are you, my pretty maid? |
33478 | And why should you not? |
33478 | And yet Butler is his friend? |
33478 | And you are a comrade, I suppose? |
33478 | And you are here to larn the news from him? |
33478 | And you made no concealment of your name or rank? |
33478 | And you met him on that single night-- by accident, I suppose? |
33478 | And you were in arms on the night of the thirteenth, at Grindall''s Ford? |
33478 | And your father''s name? |
33478 | And your traps, Wat? |
33478 | Any strangers there? |
33478 | Are we likely to meet parties on the road? |
33478 | Are you alone, or do you come with followers at your heels? 33478 Are you asleep? |
33478 | Are you followed? |
33478 | Are you sure of entertainment here, Galbraith? |
33478 | Are you sure of that? |
33478 | But you spoke of this Tyrrel-- what manner of man is he? 33478 But, unluckily, Stephen''s first shot killed him?" |
33478 | But,replied the scrupulous matron,"if they should ask me who told me, what should I answer?" |
33478 | By myself? |
33478 | Can this young St. Jermyn have fallen in with Sumpter? 33478 Can we have lost ourselves? |
33478 | Can you find a joint of venison, Gideon? |
33478 | Captain St. Jermyn, you say, left this at sunrise this morning? |
33478 | Cleveland will certainly join us? |
33478 | Did I not command you to bear yourself peaceably? 33478 Did they hold any discourse with you?" |
33478 | Did 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? |
33478 | Did you see that? 33478 Did you understand any thing of the purpose of his visit?" |
33478 | Do n''t you hear the gentleman say he is hurt? |
33478 | Do n''t you know Gates has passed South? |
33478 | Do n''t you see that you''re in line? 33478 Do they allow you to see him often?" |
33478 | Do you doubt my truth, father? |
33478 | Do you forget, in the hour of your affliction, that you have a friend who is able to comfort? 33478 Do you hear that, wife?" |
33478 | Do you know him, sir? |
33478 | Do you know nothing about the court- martial? |
33478 | Do you know to whom you are speaking? |
33478 | Do you know, Mr. Butler, how I come to call that boy Marcus? |
33478 | Do you live in this neighborhood? |
33478 | Do you now think,asked Mildred,"that your efforts are or can be of any avail to produce peace?" |
33478 | Do you remember the fool we met at the Waxhaws last May? |
33478 | Do you see that, Mildred? 33478 Do you suppose, major, that Troy town was taken without brandy? |
33478 | Do you think he is much hurt? |
33478 | Does Major Butler know that you are in his neighborhood? |
33478 | Does not my hand feel cold? |
33478 | Does your business take you there? |
33478 | Does your husband ever serve with the army, madam? |
33478 | Father, have I offended you? |
33478 | For what purpose,he asked himself,"but to avert this ill- omened event could I have had such an extraordinary warning?" |
33478 | Friend or foe? |
33478 | From this despatch, gentlemen, I suppose we shall rest here for the night-- what say you? |
33478 | Had he a white star in the forehead, and the two hind legs white below the knee? |
33478 | Had n''t we better tell him what a good man the Major is? |
33478 | Had you met any parties of loyalists,inquired Innis,"in your journey between Catawba and Broad?" |
33478 | Halloo, James Curry!--which way?--What news have you? |
33478 | Has n''t he the sense to see I can not get out? 33478 Has she been here lately?" |
33478 | Have I advanced,was the tenor of his present self- communion,"the purpose I have so much at heart, by this night''s conference? |
33478 | Have I guessed yours? |
33478 | Have n''t we been in luck,said Henry,"to get so fine a buck at last? |
33478 | Have these rummaging and thieving Tories been out maraudering in the night? 33478 Have you come to a mutiny? |
33478 | Have you so little notion where you are, that you bellow like bulls? 33478 Have you studied the Military Catechism, Henry? |
33478 | Have you told him all? |
33478 | He has never spoken to you, Mildred? |
33478 | He has pricked your pillows for you-- has he? 33478 He has told you all?" |
33478 | He is a monstrous braggart; is he not, Mildred? |
33478 | He is related to your family, perhaps? |
33478 | He was at your house? 33478 Henry, pray drop your military phrase, and tell me what this means?" |
33478 | Here, in the house to- night? |
33478 | How are we off for provisions, quarter- master? |
33478 | How came he here to- day? |
33478 | How can you laugh, Arthur? 33478 How come on your studies, brother?" |
33478 | How did you escape them? |
33478 | How do you bear it, sister? |
33478 | How do you know that? |
33478 | How far are we from Adair''s? |
33478 | How far do they march to- day? |
33478 | How far do you expect to travel to- morrow? |
33478 | How far had you to ride, Michael? |
33478 | How has this happened, Andrew? |
33478 | How long before this rain began was it that they quitted this house? |
33478 | How many men are there to guard the prisoner? |
33478 | How many men had this skulking fellow, Sumpter, at his back? |
33478 | How many mought there be, friend? |
33478 | How may I understand you, Miss Lindsay? |
33478 | How now, good master Puff,said Mildred, coming up playfully to her brother,"what means this uproar? |
33478 | How would you like a scrummage, Andy, with them Scotchmen that stole your mother''s chickens this morning? |
33478 | I had some dream, I think, about him: or, did n''t you call him so yourself, Horse Shoe? |
33478 | I have heard that this corps was marching to head- quarters Are you sure St. Jermyn is not with Campbell? |
33478 | I 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?" |
33478 | In God''s name, man, what is the matter with your face? |
33478 | In God''s name, what is it? 33478 In good truth, shall I, boy? |
33478 | In that case,said Adair,"if you know the road-- doesn''t Horse Shoe know it, sir?" |
33478 | In the devil''s name, who are you? 33478 In what month was it you left us?" |
33478 | In what school did you learn your philosophy, friend? 33478 Is Major Butler here too?" |
33478 | Is Major Butler up yet? |
33478 | Is Turnbull there now, think you? |
33478 | Is it so? |
33478 | Is it you? 33478 Is n''t it time that we were at the ford? |
33478 | Is n''t that the glimmering of a light yonder in the bushes? |
33478 | Is n''t there an old field, about a mile from this, on that road? |
33478 | Is that fellow to be trusted, sergeant? |
33478 | Is 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?" |
33478 | James Curry had a master in the business,said Robinson:"His name?" |
33478 | Major Butler, I understand, of the Continental army? |
33478 | May 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? |
33478 | Mayhap you mought have hearn of a man they call Bloody Spur? |
33478 | Michael,said the first voice;"Damn it, man, will you never awake? |
33478 | Mildred,said Henry, immediately rushing to his sister, and lifting her from the floor,"why should you kneel before him, or any man here? |
33478 | Mought 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? |
33478 | Never a word? 33478 Now, my pretty miller''s daughter, why do you think so?" |
33478 | Now, sir, your name and character? 33478 Now, tell me, which of you love me best? |
33478 | Of whom do you speak? |
33478 | Oh, what ill fortune brings him hither? |
33478 | Pray, sir, tell me what brings you here, and who you are? 33478 Ramsay,"said Butler, in a low tone,"is it you?" |
33478 | Say you so? |
33478 | Shall I give you the circumlocutory account of the matter? |
33478 | Shall I let loose upon them, captain? |
33478 | So, this is the man himself? 33478 That''s true; your poor moneyless devil, how should his wit pass current? |
33478 | The missing, sir? |
33478 | The names of the wounded, sir? |
33478 | Then why not accompany her to Charleston? |
33478 | Then, 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? |
33478 | They took the route towards Ninety- Six, you said, Mistress Ramsay? |
33478 | This Wat Adair is not likely to be churlish, I hope? |
33478 | This is one of your children, I suppose? |
33478 | This man, Horse Shoe Robinson,said St. Jermyn,"was known to Adair as a whig soldier?" |
33478 | This, you say, is the first time you have been in Carolina? |
33478 | To join Gates? |
33478 | To what end am I to write? 33478 To whom are you talking, Galbraith?" |
33478 | To- morrow, Arthur? 33478 Wat Adair, I think, directed us to Christie''s?" |
33478 | Well, Harry Winter,said John, laughing,"what say you now? |
33478 | Well, and do n''t you call this soldiership? 33478 Well, and if I were? |
33478 | Well, and what was said? |
33478 | Well, most wise and shrewd master, what do you call my country? 33478 Well, sir?" |
33478 | Well, what are you going to do with her, Adair? |
33478 | Well, whence do you come? |
33478 | Well, you need n''t be so d----d busy; do n''t you see that I am getting ready? |
33478 | Were you interrupted in your sleep last night, Galbraith? 33478 What arms have you in the house?" |
33478 | What authority have you to ask questions? 33478 What colors do you serve?" |
33478 | What did you hear? 33478 What do you mean by such doings before a peaceable house?" |
33478 | What do you mean by this racket and clatter? |
33478 | What do you say to all this? |
33478 | What do you want? |
33478 | What does Mildred say of this Tyrrel? |
33478 | What favor have these, my impartial judges, vouchsafed to me in my last moment? 33478 What has brought the lady to Carolina?" |
33478 | What has brought you here? 33478 What has turned you back? |
33478 | What have they done with Major Butler? |
33478 | What have you discovered, Mildred, or heard, that you should deem so injuriously of this man? 33478 What hocus- pocus has been here?" |
33478 | What in the devil would you have? |
33478 | What is that? |
33478 | What is that? |
33478 | What is your lordship''s pleasure regarding this Adam Cusack? |
33478 | What kept you till this time of night? |
33478 | What kind of a looking man was he? |
33478 | What man that knows Frank Marion could ever answer that question? |
33478 | What might be his name? |
33478 | What name did you call him by? |
33478 | What news do you bring? |
33478 | What of that, girl? 33478 What old witch has been pinching you, Horse Shoe, that_ you_ are up so early?" |
33478 | What reason, my good girl? |
33478 | What route did he take? |
33478 | What shall I do with it? |
33478 | What should an honorable man,replied Butler,"say to such foul aspersions? |
33478 | What side do you take? |
33478 | What side does your father take, Mary? |
33478 | What would you be pleased to have, sir? |
33478 | What would you have the purport of my letter? |
33478 | What''s a cracked crown, so as it holds a man''s brains? |
33478 | What''s all this laughing and uproar about? |
33478 | What''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? |
33478 | When am I to be informed of them, and to what do they tend? |
33478 | Whence comes this missive? |
33478 | Where are you from? 33478 Where away so fast?" |
33478 | Where can that fellow have been so early? 33478 Where did you come from with this gentleman?" |
33478 | Where do you come from, and where are you going? |
33478 | Where do you take us to? |
33478 | Where found the rebels men to master you? |
33478 | Where from, and in what direction do you travel? |
33478 | Where from, and whither do you go? |
33478 | Where from? |
33478 | Where is Andy? |
33478 | Where is Innis? |
33478 | Where is Marion? |
33478 | Where is my son John? |
33478 | Where is your mistress? |
33478 | Where mought you be from? |
33478 | Where was Cruger then? |
33478 | Who are my friends in this room? 33478 Who are you that keep such a racket at the fence there?" |
33478 | Who are you that ride so late? |
33478 | Who are you to talk of Wat Adair? 33478 Who are you, sir?" |
33478 | Who comes here, and with what purpose? |
33478 | Who goes there? |
33478 | Who goes there? |
33478 | Who has distressed you? |
33478 | Who in the devil are you-- and what are you about? |
33478 | Who is Tyrrel? |
33478 | Who is at home with you? |
33478 | Who is he that asks? |
33478 | Who is this man? |
33478 | Who raps at my door? |
33478 | Who says Sumpter is near Ninety- Six? |
33478 | Who? |
33478 | Whom were you about to name? |
33478 | Whose was that? |
33478 | Why did n''t you report instantly upon our arrival? |
33478 | Why do you stand? |
33478 | Why not try it alone? |
33478 | Why pray not, sister? 33478 Why so, my gay sparrow- hawk?" |
33478 | Will not the lieutenant be sending some of his own men with you? |
33478 | Will the gentlemen stay for breakfast? |
33478 | Will they? 33478 With how many men?" |
33478 | With what, good brother? |
33478 | Yes, you called him Major Butler? |
33478 | You are crusty, Wat Adair; what''s the matter with you? |
33478 | You are married? |
33478 | You are not angry with me, father, for following you to- night? |
33478 | You are welcome, again; your name, sir? |
33478 | You axed, I think, where I was going? 33478 You call this beginning at the beginning? |
33478 | You can give him a letter? |
33478 | You conversed with him? |
33478 | You do n''t blame the enemy for showing fight? 33478 You do n''t_ disremember_ the part of Virginia you lived in?" |
33478 | You do not live here, I think I have gathered, but are only on a visit? |
33478 | You do? |
33478 | You have heard bad news, father? |
33478 | You have heard the allegations against you, sir,said Colonel Innis;"what say you to them?" |
33478 | You have no objection to give us a hand to clinch that bargain, James? |
33478 | You have served? |
33478 | You have some very near friend who has suffered in the late battle-- a prisoner, perhaps? |
33478 | You have spoken to her on this subject? |
33478 | You heard nothing of the answer of his Lordship? |
33478 | You heard of no red coats about the Tiger? |
33478 | You huge giant- killer, do you mock me? |
33478 | You left Fort Ninety- Six only on Wednesday? |
33478 | You saw Hugh? |
33478 | You say you do n''t know the name of the person at whose house you stopped? |
33478 | You set out southwards, with your comrades of the troop, in a few days? |
33478 | You that ca n''t scratch like scholards, stick your marks to the paper-- d''ye hear? |
33478 | You were at Charleston during the siege? |
33478 | You were under a feigned name then, sir? |
33478 | You will attend me? |
33478 | You will not deny,he said, after an interval of reflection,"that you are a native of Carolina?" |
33478 | You wish to get across here into Georgia? |
33478 | You would n''t have me go with you, brother? |
33478 | You would n''t mock the sufferings of a weak woman in such a thing as this? |
33478 | You would n''t take such a child as that into danger? |
33478 | Your dress? |
33478 | Your name, friend? |
33478 | Your name, sir, and the number you have in company? |
33478 | Your name, sir? |
33478 | Your name? |
33478 | Your purpose was to join Clarke? |
33478 | _ Who_ do you say? 33478 A letter, you say, has been written to Lord Cornwallis? |
33478 | A major in the regular Continental line, sir?" |
33478 | Adair?" |
33478 | Again, who in the devil are you?" |
33478 | Am I not girded round about with the hot champions of independence? |
33478 | Am I not right?" |
33478 | Am I right, good woman?" |
33478 | Am I right? |
33478 | And Horse Shoe, if you should come across another wolf stuck in a tree, skin her, d''ye hear? |
33478 | And ar''n''t we all mustering here-- every man most? |
33478 | And did n''t you set him on, with good brave words for it?" |
33478 | And did you see how his brow blanched when I spoke my mind to him? |
33478 | And do it quietly-- do you hear? |
33478 | And do n''t you see, Mary, what good luck I have with it? |
33478 | And has he then fallen into the hands of the enemy? |
33478 | And how does this reason operate?" |
33478 | And then, dear sister, you are here to look on-- isn''t that a piece of good luck?" |
33478 | And there are bonds between you?" |
33478 | And this is your brother? |
33478 | And what call you that? |
33478 | And what has become of Marion?" |
33478 | And wherefore do they speak, but that the initiated may regard the sign, and walk in safety? |
33478 | And why did n''t you let me know you were coming? |
33478 | And why? |
33478 | And your sister, how is she?" |
33478 | And, more particularly, what would John Ramsay think of it, if the story should be afterwards told to her disadvantage? |
33478 | And, moreover, when I turned out this morning, before it was cleverly day, who do you think I saw?" |
33478 | Are you for ever to love that man?" |
33478 | Are you madly bent on bringing down misery on your head? |
33478 | Are you sure of it? |
33478 | Are you sure of it?" |
33478 | Arn''t I here on the spot, with the cretur''s in my hand?" |
33478 | Arter another buck, I reckon? |
33478 | Arthur?" |
33478 | As 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?" |
33478 | Ask Stephen Foster what I am?" |
33478 | At length resuming his expostulation, in a somewhat moderate tone, he continued:"Will no lapse of time wear away this abhorred image from your memory? |
33478 | At length, facing Butler, he said in a low and tranquil tone,"John Ramsay, my son, killed, killed in a skirmish? |
33478 | Besides, do you know, sister, I think Curry is a spy? |
33478 | Briers, did you say? |
33478 | But come-- where is Mr. Butler? |
33478 | But hark you, did you hear of a fight lately on Pedee, between some of our people and Marion-- three days ago?" |
33478 | But how comes it that you are a friend of General Washington?" |
33478 | But is it not obvious that the war must inevitably tend to this field? |
33478 | But my father and mother where are they?" |
33478 | But now tell me, after all, are you sure you have guessed me right? |
33478 | But then, how was she to make her way to their apartment, and arouse them, at this hour, from their slumbers? |
33478 | But what are we to do now, Galbraith?" |
33478 | But, Galbraith, tell me the plain up- and- down truth, what brings you and Mr. Butler into these parts? |
33478 | But, Wat, how if they do n''t ride by the Dogwood Spring?" |
33478 | But, may be, you are afraid to go so near to the fort?" |
33478 | But, sister, have n''t I been studying the attack and defence of fortified places, I wonder? |
33478 | Butler rose, and, before he placed himself in the position required, asked:"Where is it you purpose to conduct me?" |
33478 | Butler?" |
33478 | Can nobody tell me?" |
33478 | Can so many men be wrong?" |
33478 | Can you deny this? |
33478 | Can you remember nothing beyond the mere civilities of custom?" |
33478 | Come-- isn''t that a good guess?" |
33478 | Could n''t we, do n''t you think, get as much money, and just as honestly, by hoisting colors with Major Butler?" |
33478 | Could you expect aught else of an honorable gentleman? |
33478 | Did I not, Peppercorn? |
33478 | Did any one see the bearer?" |
33478 | Did he behave handsomely, Mr. Robinson? |
33478 | Did 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? |
33478 | Did you hear noises in our room?" |
33478 | Did you know that an eel will never pass a streak of moonlight for fear of being found out by the watchers?" |
33478 | Did you not think I would send your cousin Christopher for you?" |
33478 | Did you see a spirit that you look so solemn?" |
33478 | Dimock''s?" |
33478 | Do n''t you know me?" |
33478 | Do n''t you see I have laughed my eyes dim at Watty and his gold? |
33478 | Do n''t you see, from the image in the water, that there''s a fire on the bank? |
33478 | Do they look as if they could n''t laugh at yourn in any sort of scrambling I had a mind to set them to? |
33478 | Do you bear despatches?" |
33478 | Do you hear that?" |
33478 | Do you join the army in Carolina?" |
33478 | Do you know she is making a soldier of me? |
33478 | Do you know that they condescended to let us go through the motions of marching outside the lines? |
33478 | Do you know who that character was? |
33478 | Do you see how cleverly yon light has broke across the whole sky? |
33478 | Do you see that foot?" |
33478 | Do you want to bring perdition and combustion both, down upon the heads of the whole house?" |
33478 | Does he travel alone?" |
33478 | Does she expect me? |
33478 | Else, why should he be left at Mrs. Dimock''s always? |
33478 | For this act of service does he deserve your rebuke? |
33478 | For, you see, the creatures are so helpless, that if a man do n''t take care of them, who would? |
33478 | From all reports he is as brave as"--"As who?" |
33478 | From 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?" |
33478 | George?" |
33478 | Give the knaves dinners, plenty of Burgundy and Port, and what signifies an empty head? |
33478 | Go to college, and how is it there? |
33478 | Ha, M''Alpine, is it you who have been standing here all this while? |
33478 | Had I not better pull some roasting- ears from the garden and prepare them? |
33478 | Has n''t Arthur fought many a day and often? |
33478 | Has she received my letter? |
33478 | Hav''n''t we come all this way from home to assist Butler? |
33478 | Hav''n''t you a word for a sunny day and a dry journey? |
33478 | Have I not made my word good?" |
33478 | Have I not reason, dear brother, to be miserable?" |
33478 | Have none left you since I saw you yesterday?" |
33478 | Have not men heard strange whispers in the breeze-- the voice of warning? |
33478 | Have not those, to whom we all looked for champions, turned into mere laggards in the war for freedom? |
33478 | Have not your letters, one after another told me of the sad train in which misfortunes have thickened upon the whole people? |
33478 | Have the precious lives of my brave soldiers been poured out by the d----d rebels? |
33478 | Have they not felt the fanning of the wing that bore the secret messenger through the air? |
33478 | Have they not seen some floating fold of the robe as it passed by? |
33478 | Have we fallen amongst banditti, or do you bear a lawful commission? |
33478 | Have you been running from red coats, or are you hunting of Tories, or are you looking for beeves? |
33478 | Have you heard of Arthur?" |
33478 | Have you joined the rebels? |
33478 | Having gained the Carolinas, should we turn our backs as soon as we have reached the confines of Virginia? |
33478 | He was taken, I think, in the act of firing on a ferry- boat at Cheraw?" |
33478 | His first gaze was directed to Butler, to whom he addressed the common interrogatory,"Travelling in these parts, sir?" |
33478 | Horse Shoe Robinson; Major Butler, where is he, sir?" |
33478 | Horse Shoe Robinson?" |
33478 | Horse Shoe, you''re not thinking of going after them?" |
33478 | Horse Shoe?" |
33478 | Horse Shoe?" |
33478 | How are the wounded men getting along?" |
33478 | How came this here? |
33478 | How can I but fear that the good end is still far off? |
33478 | How can I but feel some weight upon my heart?" |
33478 | How can I think with patience of this Tyrrel when I see these things?" |
33478 | How did you come by all this provender?" |
33478 | How do you feel now?" |
33478 | How do you know I am not one of these very rebels myself?" |
33478 | How does this differ from death upon the field of battle? |
33478 | How far are we from Tarborough?" |
33478 | How far off mought we be from your father''s?" |
33478 | How is it likely I might meet him?" |
33478 | How is she connected with my dream? |
33478 | How many soldiers are on Macdonald''s guard? |
33478 | How might I know him?" |
33478 | How now, old Horse Shoe; are you caught, with your gay master here? |
33478 | How often have I told you that it''s against discipline to chirp above a whisper when you are drawn out? |
33478 | How should women be expected to understand these matters? |
33478 | How soon-- how soon,"she said, with a voice that faltered with the question,"does your duty compel you to leave me?" |
33478 | Hylas, Bell, Blanche, you puppies, where are you?" |
33478 | I forgive you for that, and, to tell you the truth, I hate your----?" |
33478 | I have been told he lives in Virginia, Philip Lindsay, the proprietor of a seat called''The Dove Cote,''a royalist too-- am I right?" |
33478 | I hope you have not omitted it to- day?" |
33478 | I myself live at the Dove Cote, and"--"Then, mayhap, you mought have hearn of one Major Arthur Butler?" |
33478 | I suppose they call you so?" |
33478 | I suspect you are a light- fingered Jack-- a light- fingered Jack-- d''ye hear that, Master Peppercorn?" |
33478 | I trust, madam, you are not seriously ill? |
33478 | I want to know where mought you be from?" |
33478 | If he knows you he knows no good of you, I''m sure? |
33478 | If you saw anything, why did n''t you awake me?" |
33478 | In the devil''s name what brought you back? |
33478 | In 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? |
33478 | In truth, are you sure of it, man?" |
33478 | Is all well?" |
33478 | Is every man a rogue since you have set up the trade? |
33478 | Is it necessary for his purpose that, under this roof, he should appear in masquerade? |
33478 | Is it possible? |
33478 | Is it thus you would insult the sufferings of an unfortunate enemy, by drumming, under his very ear, your cursed death- notes? |
33478 | Is my name on any part of my baggage or dress?" |
33478 | Is n''t all fixed? |
33478 | Is n''t she an excellent girl, Major Butler?" |
33478 | Is the lady of the house at home?" |
33478 | Is this Horse Shoe? |
33478 | Is your father at home? |
33478 | Is your father yet abed?" |
33478 | Is your sister stirring?" |
33478 | It has no door to it?" |
33478 | It has suited your purpose to play the clown, eh? |
33478 | It was on his way back this morning that he stopped here five minutes, only to give us warning?" |
33478 | Jermyn?" |
33478 | Lindsay?" |
33478 | Lindsay?" |
33478 | Look around you: do you expect me to preserve discipline amongst these wild wood- scourers, with your loud haw- haws to my very teeth? |
33478 | Look here, man, do you see them there legs? |
33478 | May I be allowed to know to whom I am indebted for the honor of this visit?" |
33478 | May I inquire, Miss Lindsay, in what direction you travel? |
33478 | May 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?" |
33478 | Mr. Musgrove and his folks are safe and well, I hope, and Christopher?" |
33478 | Musgrove?" |
33478 | My house is small and can give scant comfort to many?" |
33478 | My people have withdrawn-- the fire is extinguished-- these inconsiderate lads at liberty: have I answered your wish?" |
33478 | Now, what was it a sign of, but that they and the tories was more industrious that year than we were?" |
33478 | Now, which, do you think, I belong to? |
33478 | O God!--have they not seen the dead arise? |
33478 | Oh, Arthur, do you not remember that these are the thoughts, the very words, which were penned by your own hand, for my especial meditation? |
33478 | On the contrary, does not every obligation of honor impel us to maintain and protect our friends here? |
33478 | On what pretence have we been arrested?" |
33478 | Or could it have been a reality, and was it the girl herself who spoke? |
33478 | Or, after all, is it not an ingenious forgery which has deceived our friend the captain? |
33478 | Ought n''t our friends to be near at hand?" |
33478 | Perchance, you mought have hearn tell of one Horse Shoe Robinson, who lived over here at the Waxhaws?" |
33478 | Pray, sir,"he continued, addressing Henry,"what command have you?" |
33478 | Robinson?" |
33478 | Robinson?" |
33478 | See the man stowed away in the barn; and tell the sentinels never to take their eyes off of him-- do you hear, lieutenant?" |
33478 | Shall I die as a common felon, on a gibbet, or am I to meet a soldier''s doom?" |
33478 | Shall I whisper that to sister Mildred? |
33478 | Should we not have reached the Pacolet before this?" |
33478 | Still, who could have brought it here?" |
33478 | Suppose I tell you that you meddle with matters that do n''t concern you?" |
33478 | Suppose I was to say you was, at this self- same identical time, a sodger of the king''s? |
33478 | Suppose this should n''t be the man? |
33478 | The barking of a house- dog brought out a negro boy, to whom Robinson instantly addressed the query--"Is your master at home?" |
33478 | The man gazed for a moment upon his visitor, and then asked--"Is n''t this Galbraith Robinson?" |
33478 | The 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? |
33478 | The reason why? |
33478 | The whole party taken did you say?" |
33478 | The woman stopped spinning for a moment, and turning her face towards Butler with a scowl, muttered,"How does that matter concern you?" |
33478 | Then may not the chances of war assist me? |
33478 | Then turning to Drummond, he inquired:"Has the grave been thought of? |
33478 | Think you I am the man to win my way through these intricacies? |
33478 | This Arthur Butler"--"Spare that name, father?" |
33478 | This young gentleman, your brother, is he your only attendant?" |
33478 | To what suspicions might the attempt expose her, even from Arthur Butler himself? |
33478 | Wa''n''t she an old fool, Horse Shoe, to walk into this here gum for a piece of dead mutton? |
33478 | Was it in her power to avert the impending disaster which threatened the lives, perhaps, of those who had sought the hospitality of her kinsman? |
33478 | Was n''t I, in your opinion, about the first man in the river?" |
33478 | Was that the sperit?" |
33478 | Well, sir, and pray, what do you guess?" |
33478 | Well, sir, may I be bold to ask, do you know where that worshipful gentleman is to be found?" |
33478 | Well, 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? |
33478 | Were n''t we expecting him along with Horse Shoe, and just at this time?" |
33478 | Were you not yesterday going to beat a man only for asking a harmless question? |
33478 | What accident of fortune had brought her into this, as he must consider it, unhappy relation? |
33478 | What aid may be expected from one so guarded, fettered, watched and powerless?" |
33478 | What are you after in Georgia? |
33478 | What brought you so far out of your latitude?" |
33478 | What can I do with them"--then dropping his voice into a tone of confidential conference, he added,"but follow the fashion and hang them? |
33478 | What can this mean?" |
33478 | What could such tender creatures have done at such a place as the sieging of Charlestown? |
33478 | What did she mean by her palaver about golden guineas in Wat''s pocket, and the English officer? |
33478 | What do you do up here in the woods, when there is work enough for hearty men below? |
33478 | What do you say to the terms?" |
33478 | What does George the Third care for us, with a great world of water between?" |
33478 | What has become of the runaway?" |
33478 | What has befallen? |
33478 | What has happened?" |
33478 | What has he done to provoke this doom?" |
33478 | What have we here?" |
33478 | What have you to do with considering? |
33478 | What have you to say to him? |
33478 | What have you to tell of the rebels? |
33478 | What ho!--thy door undo: Art watching or asleep?" |
33478 | What ill luck brings you here to- night?" |
33478 | What is a sizer''s joke? |
33478 | What is he that you have laid beneath the turf to- night?" |
33478 | What is his name?" |
33478 | What is the name of the river I see across yon field, and where mought we be, just at this time?" |
33478 | What is your opinion of him?" |
33478 | What keeps the simple man dallying shilly- shally at the fence, as if he actually wanted them to take him? |
33478 | What makes you here under Tarleton''s safeguard? |
33478 | What matter have you in hand that brings you here-- and what is your name?" |
33478 | What need of court or trial?" |
33478 | What news from Butler?" |
33478 | What news, old boy? |
33478 | What news? |
33478 | What news?" |
33478 | What next would you have?" |
33478 | What o''clock is it?" |
33478 | What passed, and what have you learned?" |
33478 | What right have you to interrupt us?" |
33478 | What sanctuary would she find under a war- encircled banner, should misfortune assail me, and adversity separate us? |
33478 | What says the proverb? |
33478 | What shall I give you?" |
33478 | What time of day was it when this Butler arrived?" |
33478 | What toy is this that brings a lady to my camp?" |
33478 | What was the number of prisoners you had in charge?" |
33478 | What will satisfy your errand hither, Miss Lindsay?" |
33478 | What wind has blown you up here? |
33478 | What you making such a conbobberation about? |
33478 | What''s afoot that you stir in such a hurry?" |
33478 | What''s the news?" |
33478 | What''s the use of tantrums? |
33478 | When did the man arrive?" |
33478 | When do the Rangers march, Stephen?" |
33478 | When have I been out of danger? |
33478 | When shall we set out?" |
33478 | When was it written? |
33478 | Where are my hounds? |
33478 | Where are our horses, Wat? |
33478 | Where are you, old man?" |
33478 | Where are you?" |
33478 | Where are your waiting- men, my nimble Ganymede? |
33478 | Where could he remove but to Charleston? |
33478 | Where do you think we found Clapper Claw? |
33478 | Where have you been, and where are you going? |
33478 | Where is John Ramsay?" |
33478 | Where is Major Butler, who was lately prisoner with Ferguson?" |
33478 | Where is all that boasted glorification upon which you were disposed to be so eloquent only a week ago? |
33478 | Where is he? |
33478 | Where is my pretty fellow, Clarke?" |
33478 | Where is our guest? |
33478 | Where, do you think, would be the likeliest spot to have it?" |
33478 | Who are with you? |
33478 | Who are you and whence come you?" |
33478 | Who brought it? |
33478 | Who brought it? |
33478 | Who brought the billet, captain?" |
33478 | Who could he be?" |
33478 | Who has attended to the preparations?" |
33478 | Who has conjured up this unreasonable aversion in your mind against him?" |
33478 | Who has waited most patiently for me this morning? |
33478 | Who have you got with you here?" |
33478 | Who have you here, Galbraith?" |
33478 | Who have you here, captain?" |
33478 | Who is John Ramsay?" |
33478 | Who is this with you?" |
33478 | Who let them out of the stable?" |
33478 | Who saw the vidette besides yourself?" |
33478 | Who says they are defenceless with that supple weapon that God has given them? |
33478 | Who shall guard and defend her, whilst I pursue this waylaid road of ambition? |
33478 | Who so welcome there as Philip Lindsay? |
33478 | Who told you I was going after a buck? |
33478 | Who waylays me? |
33478 | Who''d''a thought to find you here amongst the Tories? |
33478 | Why ask me such a question?" |
33478 | Why did you venture, girl? |
33478 | Why do you loiter, when time is so precious?" |
33478 | Why do you neglect this refuge now?" |
33478 | Why should n''t I? |
33478 | Why should not the same game be as well played in Virginia? |
33478 | Why was he here at all-- why did you meet him?" |
33478 | Why will you disappoint so fair a hope?" |
33478 | Why, man, where did you spring from?" |
33478 | Will you for ever nurse a hopeless attachment for a man whom, it must be apparent to yourself, you can never meet again? |
33478 | Will you remember all this?" |
33478 | Will you take a fowling- piece? |
33478 | Would a dozen of you strike one man when he has surrendered? |
33478 | Would there, Michael?" |
33478 | Would you breed a mutiny in the camp? |
33478 | Would you bring us into discredit with our best friends, by your villanous habits of free quarters?" |
33478 | Would you turn off friends from the door with empty stomachs, you mink, and especially with a whole day''s starvation ahead of them?" |
33478 | You can answer for that, Marcus, you shaver, eh?" |
33478 | You did not see Tyrrel this morning, Mildred?" |
33478 | You do n''t even know which party got the better?" |
33478 | You ha''n''t forgot it, major?" |
33478 | You ha''n''t forgot that-- and his drawing his knife on you?" |
33478 | You have had a long ride?" |
33478 | You have hearn of the way of putting out a house on fire by blowing it up with gunpowder?" |
33478 | You have hearn the Major tell of Horse Shoe Robinson?" |
33478 | You have not answered me-- is your father aware of this visit, Miss Lindsay?" |
33478 | You know Williams is out- lying upon the upper branches of the river? |
33478 | You say Wat Adair gave me the same title?" |
33478 | You spoke of your father, madam? |
33478 | You surely could n''t have been at the Dove Cote?" |
33478 | You understand?" |
33478 | You wan''t going to shoot at us, Michael?" |
33478 | You will protect me, Mr. Robinson? |
33478 | Your name, where from, and where are you going?" |
33478 | and does your father allow you to ride in the ranks of the friends of liberty?" |
33478 | and what do you make of the moon? |
33478 | asked Henry of the aide- de- camp, in a half whisper;"and what has he done, that they have hung him?" |
33478 | asked Horse Shoe,"or did you wish me to go into the particulars?" |
33478 | asked Mildred, with interest;"are you from the army?--whence come you?" |
33478 | brother, can this be true?" |
33478 | cried Butler;"of whom are you speaking?" |
33478 | cried Peppercorn;"are you turning boy in your old days, that you must fall to whining because you have lost a turn at play? |
33478 | damn it, man,"exclaimed the commandant,"why do you bring them to me? |
33478 | demanded an officer, who now rode up to Butler,"that you dare to disobey a command in the name of the king? |
33478 | do n''t the newspapers say you are brevetted? |
33478 | do you hear? |
33478 | do you mind me?" |
33478 | ejaculated the mistress of the hovel, as she opened the door;"Bloody Spur, is it you? |
33478 | exclaimed Butler,"is not that St. Jermyn? |
33478 | exclaimed Campbell,"is this the father of the lady who has sought my protection? |
33478 | exclaimed Habershaw;"who could he be?" |
33478 | exclaimed Marion,"where is he?" |
33478 | exclaimed the officer, with astonishment,"is he taken?" |
33478 | exclaimed the old crone from the chimney corner"Who is talking about Horse Shoe Robinson? |
33478 | exclaimed the sergeant, at the same time shaking her hand,"this is my petticoat- sodger; how goes it with you, girl?" |
33478 | have they fired the dwelling?" |
33478 | have you heard aught of harm to him?" |
33478 | he demanded, as he shook the sergeant''s hand,"or have you come alone? |
33478 | he said;"this Major Butler is in the service of Congress?" |
33478 | inquired 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?" |
33478 | inquired Mildred;"have you heard your father say, Mary?" |
33478 | is it you? |
33478 | or is it only one of Captain Peter''s old- sodger tricks, letting down bars and leading the young geldings into mischief? |
33478 | pray how have you found that out?" |
33478 | repeated Horse Shoe,"I thought Floyd had these parts under command?" |
33478 | returned Mary with natural emotion,"do you think I am afraid to go as far as the garden in the dark? |
33478 | roared Habershaw,"have the diabolical scoundrels made away with any of my good fellows? |
33478 | said Adair;"where were you born, that you are so mighty nice upon account of a blood- sucking wolf? |
33478 | said Butler, gazing with a melancholy earnestness upon the scene, and speaking scarce above his breath,"is it so? |
33478 | said Henry, inquiringly;"what has happened?" |
33478 | said 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?" |
33478 | said the mother anxiously,"you would not leave us to- night, John?" |
33478 | screamed Habershaw, almost choked with choler,"dare you speak to me so? |
33478 | shouted the voice of a man from the neighborhood of the mill:"who flies so fast?" |
33478 | sister, your eyes red with tears?" |
33478 | the child has not been hurt?" |
33478 | to make war upon their rightful king, against his laws and throne? |
33478 | to threaten your life, your sister''s and mine, unless we bowed to this impious idol of democracy, which they have set up-- this Washington?" |
33478 | to visit Clarke, eh? |
33478 | was it that you was listening too?" |
33478 | what are you about?" |
33478 | what makes you so late? |
33478 | what shall I do?" |
33478 | when, and for what? |
33478 | where away so fast, Wat?" |
33478 | who are you?" |
33478 | who goes there? |
33478 | who goes there?" |
33478 | who''s at home? |
33478 | why do you stop?" |
33478 | will you risk our lives with your infernal broils? |
33478 | would you purchase weapons for those clowns to enable them to shoot down his majesty''s liege subjects? |
33478 | you''ve hearn of him, and know something, mayhap, of them that were on the look- out for him?" |
