590	Or is it one of Mr Henley''s wilful ridiculosities?
590	Supposing I had been there, how would it have been-- the same, or different from what it was with those that were there?
590	The eight- year- old replied,"Why, do n''t you see for yourself?
590	Then he asked quickly,''Do I look strange?''
590	There are you; has the man no gratitude?
590	To my thinking the finest of all in this line is the legal(?)
590	Was this a fact, or was it an illusion on my part?
590	What for he take my pig?''
590	What is man''s chief end?
590	What is your love to his love?
590	What will he do with them?"
590	When Mataafa was taken, who was our support but Tusitala?
590	Will he again return?
590	Woodman, is your courage stout?
590	Would Tuesday or Wednesday suit you by any chance?
590	Yet who among you is so great as Tusitala?
31557	Aha,say you,"and what is a Black Boy?"
31557	And how did you know that crane to be a spirit?
31557	And what is Devil- work?
31557	But when,I asked,"shall we come to your coffee plantation?"
31557	Captain, is it permitted to come on board?
31557	Did he lose a ship of John Hart''s?
31557	Did you ever see an evil spirit?
31557	Do none of you smell flowers?
31557	Do you know what the name of that spirit was? 31557 Do you like bathing?"
31557	Do you like school?
31557	Do you mean to refuse me what I ask?
31557	Do you not know they are murdering your king?
31557	Had you hidden a tapu?
31557	How else can a man prove himself to be brave?
31557	How is this?
31557	How many pathom he high?
31557	How much you got? 31557 How much you want?"
31557	How on earth do you know that?
31557	How shall I repay your great kindness to me? 31557 How?"
31557	If a white chief came up here and smelt this, how would you feel?
31557	In short, I am to look for no support, whether physical or moral?
31557	Is that royal?
31557	Is that true, George?
31557	Is the island on the spree?
31557	Like Mahinui?
31557	My patha he tell me he see: you think he lie?
31557	My patha he tell me,or"White man he tell me,"would be his constant beginning;"You think he lie?"
31557	Now what is your motive in this?
31557	Under what form?
31557	What are you doing here?
31557	What chief?
31557	What did she say to you?
31557	What do you want with a gun, Arick?
31557	What have you in the canoe that I should smell carrion?
31557	What is it?
31557	What is that?
31557	What is the matter with the man? 31557 Where are you going?"
31557	Who asked the Great Powers to make laws for us; to bring strangers here to rule us?
31557	Who is that man, father?
31557	Who is that?
31557	Why do they call themselves Mormons?
31557	Why do you not go to help him?
31557	Why do you not take these?
31557	Why, what is the meaning of all this?
31557	Will you be at school to- morrow?
31557	Will you take a cigar?
31557	With two husbands?
31557	You are old,they argued;"soon you will die; what use will it be to you?"
31557	You got copra, king?
31557	You like some beer?
31557	_ Et vos gargouilles moyen- âge_,cried I;"_ comme elles sont originales!_""_ N''est- ce pas?
31557	_ Mitai ehipe?_I asked.
31557	_ Pas de cocotiers? 31557 ''Melican mate he go away?'' 31557 ''What you go do''Melican mate?'' 31557 ''You like blackee coat?'' 31557 ''You like file- a''m?'' 31557 (_ Pantomime._) He say Missa Whela,''Ma''Whala?'' 31557 A chief in Little Makin asked, in an hour of lightness,Who is Kaeia?"
31557	A sedge- like grass( buffalo grass?)
31557	About one- third of the troops believed him this time; how many will believe him the next?
31557	After all, what was there to complain of?
31557	And how about the current?
31557	And how was the point brought again before his Honour?
31557	And now it might beat upon these ruins, and who should assemble?
31557	And shall I not be a little loyal to Mataafa?
31557	And suppose the king should fall, what would be the fate of the king''s friends?
31557	And the end of it?
31557	And this is my mamma?
31557	And was he not wise, since that was his complaint, to go to folks who could do more?
31557	And where?
31557	And why should they be at the bother of two walks?
31557	And will you not help me?
31557	And you know how much afraid the natives are of the evil spirits in the wood, and how they think all sickness comes from them?
31557	Asked why there was a sleeping- mat, he retorted indignantly,"Why have you mats?"
31557	Bishop:"Why are the Hawaiians Dying Out?"
31557	But to whom can we address ourselves?
31557	But what had he to do with it?
31557	But what were the Consuls doing in this matter of inland administration?
31557	But which?
31557	But why are these so different?
31557	But why are they dead?
31557	But why were they previously left in the dark?
31557	But why( it will be asked) spin out by these excessive methods a thread of such tenuity?
31557	By what criterion is the convert to distinguish the essential from the unessential?
31557	By what powers of law was this result attained?
31557	By what process known to diplomacy has he risen from his one- sixth part of municipal authority to be the Bismarck of a Polynesian island?
31557	Did she understand?
31557	Did they like it?
31557	Do these unfortunates like the king?
31557	Do you not hear something supernatural?"
31557	Does it permit a state of society in which a citizen can live and act with confidence?
31557	For do we not find, in the case of the municipal treasury, the same disquieting features?
31557	For the poor treaty officials, what have they but rights very obscurely expressed and very weakly defended by their predecessors?
31557	For why should a mere meteor frequent the altars of abominable gods?
31557	Fresh points at once arise:"What are the Israelites?
31557	He looked at the missionary, and what did he see?
31557	He say chief:--''Chief, you like things of mine?
31557	Here it is:"The king, he good man?"
31557	Him they approached with honeyed words and carneying manners--"You are So- and- so, son of So- and- so?"
31557	How does their own poet sing?
31557	How else could a man prove he was brave?
31557	How if both were fathers, one natural, one adoptive?
31557	How if the founder of the monarchy, while he worked for his brother, worked at the same time for the child of his loins?
31557	How if the heir of Tembaitake, like the heir of Tembinok''himself, were not a son, but an adopted nephew?
31557	I ask you, which of these two persons was slain by Kamehameha?
31557	I begin to be alarmed; and because I am afraid I ask you to confront a certain danger"?
31557	I felt guiltless upon all; but how to show it?
31557	I would not have taken copra in a gift: how to express that quality by my dinner- table bearing?
31557	I wrote of Parker that he behaved like a boy of ten: what was he else, being a slave of sixty?
31557	If he was with Malietoa''s men, which is the real gist of his offence, we who are not Germans may surely ask, Why not?
31557	Is a father- in- law one of a man''s own family?
31557	Is it a law at all?
31557	Is this English law?
31557	It is great fun( I have tried it) for the child, and I never heard of it doing any harm to the fishes, so what could be more jolly?
31557	It was surely fortunate that there was no one drunk; but, drunk or sober, where else would a scene so irritating have concluded without blows?
31557	Kekela he say;''why you want?''
31557	Meanwhile, the calf stood looking on, a little perplexed, and seemed to be saying:"Well, now, is this life?
31557	Meanwhile, there was the cow, with the board over her eyes, left tied by a pretty long rope to a small tree in the paddock, and who was to milk her?
31557	Now, do you remember Misifolo-- a tall, thin Hovea boy that came shortly before you left?
31557	On what ground is Malietoa a rebel?
31557	Or is not rather the repulsion mutual?
31557	Should I not approach her on the still depending question of my rent?
31557	So much was accomplished: what was to follow?
31557	Something wrong?
31557	Taipi might; he ought; it was a chief part of his duty; but would any one regard the inhibition of a Beggar on Horseback?
31557	The Captain was got safe off the wicked horse, but how was he to get back again to Apia and the_ Alameda_?
31557	They now face empty- handed the tedium of their uneventful days; and who shall pity them?
31557	Uncle Lloyd and Palema made a malanga[21] to go over the island to Siumu, and Talolo was anxious to go also; but how could we get along without him?
31557	Was it Luheluhe?"
31557	Was it not the same with unchastity, it may be asked?
31557	Was not the Polynesian always unchaste?
31557	What can they do?
31557	What circumstance is common to them all, but that they lived on islands destitute, or very nearly so, of animal food?
31557	What do the little girls in the cellar think that Austin does?
31557	What else should we expect?
31557	What had the man been after?
31557	What is the difference between their cases?
31557	What is the nature of the obligation assumed at such a festival?
31557	What step could be taken?
31557	What was the business?
31557	What was their right to interfere?
31557	What were the arguments with which they overcame the resistance of the Government?
31557	When had it begun again?
31557	When had it stopped?
31557	Who can blame them for their timidity?
31557	Who is Dr. Knappe, thus to make peace and war, deal in life and death, and close with a buffet the mouth of English Consuls?
31557	Who is responsible now for the care and good treatment of these political prisoners?
31557	Who is responsible?
31557	Who is the unknown power that sent Mataafa in a German ship to the Marshalls, instead of in an English ship to Fiji?
31557	Who told them so?
31557	Who was responsible for this?
31557	Who was to be punished?--the whaler guilty of the act, the missionary whose denunciation had provoked the scandal?
31557	Why ca n''t he talk?"
31557	Why go to such lengths for four months longer of fallacious solvency?
31557	Why should I wonder?
31557	Why should he?
31557	Why this change?
31557	You ask if we have seen Arick?
31557	You remember Tauilo, and what a fine, tall, strong, Madame Lafarge sort of person she is?
31557	You would not like to be very sick in some savage place in the islands, and have only the savages to doctor you?
31557	and had not every country its own customs?
31557	and that keeps separated Faamoina and his wife?
31557	and what kind of torrent was that which had swept us eastward in the interval?
31557	and what the Kanitus?"
31557	and what was their sentiment towards the ruler?
31557	he asked, and then, with a sneer,"Are you afraid of your life?"
31557	pas de popoi?_"she asked.
31557	that has decreed since that he shall receive not even inconsiderable gifts and open letters?
31557	you like whaleboat?''
30894	''Do I love?'' 30894 ''Shall I?''
30894	Are we to have no sleep at all for that_ drunken brute?_I said.
30894	Clarify and strain,indeed?
30894	I have it here,he said;"would you like to see it?"
30894	Is that him?
30894	Que voulez- vous? 30894 Shame had a fine bed, but where was slumber?
30894	Where is the new guard coming from?
30894	Where the devil did you read all these books?
30894	_ Quoi? 30894 ( 14) Do you like Jonson''sloathed stage"?
30894	( 3rd) A radiant notion begot this morning over an atlas: why not, you who know the lingo, give us a good legendary and historical book on Iceland?
30894	( 7) Is the_ Royal George_ an ode, or only an elegy?
30894	( Is Marvell''s Horatian Ode good enough?
30894	( Is this not sad, Weg?
30894	A propos, did you ever read him?--or know any one who had?
30894	And I ask myself why I ever leave this humour?
30894	And besides, if he does not like himself, whom he has seen, how is he ever to like one whom he never can see but in dim and artificial presentments?
30894	And the end of life, you will ask?
30894	And then you have the brass to ask me_ why_"my steps went one by one"?
30894	And who knows?
30894	Any party in London or Cambridge who thinks well enough of my little books to back me up with a few heartfelt words?
30894	Are there no cheap and nasty imitations?
30894	Are you coming over again to see me some day soon?
30894	Are you not my first, my only, admirer-- a dear tie?
30894	Are you not well that you do not write?
30894	As for"C. Baxter, Esq.,"who is he?
30894	At last Lloyd remarked, a blue mouth speaking from a corpse- coloured face,"You seem to be the only one with any courage left?"
30894	But if you are retiring, may I ask if you have promised your support to any successor?
30894	But is there not a hitch in the sentence at foot of page 153?
30894	But is there not an irritating deliberation and correctness about her and everybody connected with her?
30894	But just might I delete two words in your testimonial?
30894	But what can you give?
30894	But what care I?
30894	But what, my Dew, in idle mood, What prate I, minding not my debt?
30894	But when will that be?
30894	But who wrote the review of my book?
30894	Can it be that this bright- haired innocent has found the true clue to the mystery?
30894	Can you find a better name?
30894	Can you think of any other for this worthy man?
30894	Comment le trouvez- vous?
30894	Could your recommendation introduce me to an American publisher?
30894	Did I ever tell you my skit on my own travel books?
30894	Did not the national vanity exclaim?
30894	Did you ever read them?
30894	Did you see I had joined the band of the rejected?
30894	Do keep me posted, wo n''t you?
30894	Do you hear_ that_, you evildoer?
30894	Do you imagine I could ever write an essay a month, or promise an essay even every three months?
30894	Do you know one of the tragedies-- a Bible tragedy too--_David_--was written in his third period-- much about the same time as Lear?
30894	Do you know what Shairp thought?
30894	Do you know, I think yesterday and the day before were the two happiest days of my life?
30894	Do you know, my dear sir, what I like best in your letter?
30894	Do you know, you have had about a Cornhill page of sermon?
30894	Do you know, your sunset was very good?
30894	Do you like Sally Barnes?
30894	Do you notice how for some time back you have had no descriptions of anything?
30894	Do you remember Brash?
30894	Do you think I can cut it?
30894	Do you think you could prepare the printers for a possible breakdown this week?
30894	Does it not seem as if things were fluid?
30894	Does it not seem surprising that I can keep the lamp alight, through all this gusty weather, in so frail a lantern?
30894	Does not this deserve remuneration?
30894	Eh, boy?
30894	Franklin-- do you want him?
30894	Give me your advice?
30894	Granton?
30894	Haussmann, Friday, February 21, 1878._ MY DEAR PEOPLE,--Do you know who is my favourite author just now?
30894	Have I lived thus long and have you known me thus long, to no purpose?
30894	Have you had any thought about Diana of the Ephesians?
30894	Have you read_ Mademoiselle Merquem_?
30894	Her mother demanded the other day"_ À quand les noces?_"which Mrs. Stevenson will translate for you in case you do n''t see it yourself.
30894	How about carving and gilding?
30894	How are Baron Payn, Sir Robert de Bob, and other members of the Aristocracy?
30894	How could_ noster amicus Q. maximus_ appreciate a storm at Wick?
30894	How goes Gray?
30894	How goes your Gray?
30894	How has the cruising gone?
30894	How much may now fairly become public of that which had been held sacred and hitherto private among his friends?
30894	How would_ Tales for Winter Nights_ do?
30894	How''s that for cut and dry?
30894	How''s that for genuine American wit and humour?
30894	How, and why, do you continue to exist?
30894	I am even thinking of finishing up half- a- dozen perhaps and trying the publishers?
30894	I cry,"where do you find that?
30894	I make my baths; and then we go to Franzensbad; will you come to see us?"
30894	I may mention that Robinet has never heard an Englishman with so little accent as I have-- ahem-- ahem-- eh?--What do you say to that?
30894	I remember Sir John Millais, a shrewd and very independent judge of books, calling across to me at a dinner- table,"You know Stevenson, do n''t you?"
30894	I say, is there any chance of your coming north this year?
30894	I should get less coin than by going into magazines perhaps; but I should also get more notice, should I not?
30894	I suppose I may at least hope for eight pic''s?
30894	I suppose you know and remember Charles Lamb''s essay on distant correspondents?
30894	I think I let him down gently, did I not?
30894	I wait with perfect composure for farther news; I can do nothing; why should I disturb myself?
30894	I wonder if a fruiterer from some place else-- say Worcestershire-- would offer the same phenomena?
30894	I wonder if it''s old age?
30894	I wonder if my revised paper has pleased the Saturday?
30894	If Chatto should take both,_ cui dedicare_?
30894	If I am, it''s for good this time; you know what"for good"means in my vocabulary-- something inside of 12 months perhaps; but who knows?
30894	If that should be too dear, or anything, Mr. Mowbray would be able to tell you what is the best substitute, would he not?
30894	Is Cummy struck dumb about the boots?
30894	Is anything interesting known about him?
30894	Is it Keats, hope you?
30894	Is it not a wonderful odour?
30894	Is it true that the_ Donkey_ is in a second edition?
30894	Is n''t that a good dormitive?
30894	Is that all?
30894	Is that not right?
30894	Is that not well said?
30894	Is the sky blue?
30894	Is the thing lost?
30894	Is there a boy or a girl?
30894	Is there any news in Babylon the Great?
30894	Is there no shame about the easy classes?
30894	Is there no_ news_?
30894	Is this a blacksmith''s?
30894	Is this a dream altogether?
30894	It is not, I hope, from ill- health?
30894	Je la trouve méchante.--Yours affectionately, R. L. S. Did I say I had seen a verse on two of the Buccaneers?
30894	Last Friday I went down to Portobello, in the heavy rain, with an uneasy wind blowing_ par rafales_ off the sea( or"_ en rafales_"should it be?
30894	Listen to Herbert--"Is it not verse except enchanted groves And sudden arbours shadow coarse- spun lines?
30894	Lloyd then prints''em: are they not fun?
30894	Moreover, I have my thesis given out now, which is a fifth( is it fifth?
30894	Must it not be so, my dear friend, out of the depths I cry?
30894	Must purling streams refresh a lover''s loves?
30894	My dear Baxter, a word in your ear--" DON''T YOU WISH YOU WERE A FOOL?"
30894	My dear Charles, is the sky blue at Mentone?
30894	My dear mother, how can I keep up with your breathless changes?
30894	No women in the story, Lloyd''s orders; and who so blithe to obey?
30894	Now can you come to see us for a little while?
30894	Now, do you understand why I protested against your depressing eloquence on the subject?
30894	Now, should I not?
30894	Now, what is to take place?
30894	O peace, peace, whither are you fled and where have you carried my old quiet humour?
30894	O why did you tell me about that cloak?
30894	O, and look here, why did you not send me the Spectator which slanged me?
30894	Of course, it is rougher than hell upon my father, but can I help it?
30894	Only why do n''t you tell me if I can get my_ Spring_ printed?
30894	Only, frankly, Colvin, do you think it a good plan to be so eminently descriptive, and even eloquent in dispraise?
30894	P.S.--In fact if ever you see anything exceptionally fine, purchase for R. L. S. I owe you lots of money besides this, do n''t I?
30894	Really, you know it is the only thing you have, since Dryden, where that irregular odic, odal, odous(?)
30894	Rogues and rascals, is that all you are worth?
30894	S. C. is down on me for being bitter; who can help it sometimes, especially after they have slept ill?
30894	Shall I ever learn to do anything_ well_?
30894	Suppose I could jerk you out 100 Cornhill pages; that would easy make 200 pages of decent form; and then thickish paper-- eh?
30894	TO MRS. SITWELL_[ Barmouth, September 1874], Tuesday._ I wonder if you ever read Dickens''Christmas books?
30894	TO SIDNEY COLVIN[_ Edinburgh, Autumn 1875._] MY DEAR COLVIN,--_Fous ne me gombrennez pas._ Angry with you?
30894	The air which pleased Madame Zassetsky the most was"Hey, Johnnie Cope, are ye waukin yet?"
30894	The aunt was very anxious to know who that strange, wild man was?
30894	The company?
30894	The end of life?
30894	The letter bears no sign of date or place, but by the handwriting would seem to belong to this year:-- 1871?
30894	The place?
30894	The_ Moonstone_ is frightfully interesting: is n''t the detective prime?
30894	This is not a gay way to pass Christmas, is it?
30894	Une petite amour comme ça, qu''on ne pourrait pas baiser?
30894	Was it Pheidias?
30894	Was that your question?
30894	What I have gained?
30894	What about Ferrier?
30894	What am I doing?
30894	What do I talk of bad or good?
30894	What do you think of Henley''s hospital verses?
30894	What have I been doing?
30894	What is my life to be at this rate?
30894	What is your news?
30894	What shall I find over there?
30894	What, you rascal?
30894	When may I hope to see the_ Deacon_?
30894	When shall I be able to pay it back?
30894	When shall I be able to return to England?
30894	When shall I be married?
30894	When shall I join the good and blessed in a forced march upon the New Jerusalem?
30894	Where is it to go?
30894	Where''s Murra?
30894	Which would you read first-- Shakespeare''s autobiography, or his journals?
30894	Who knows, Colvin, but I may thus be of more use when I am buried than ever when I was alive?
30894	Who made them?
30894	Whom did he marry?
30894	Why did n''t you buy it?
30894	Why did not one lie still in the grave?
30894	Why do n''t they stamp their foot upon the ground and awake?
30894	Why do n''t you write?
30894	Why else could it be?
30894	Why have you not sent me a testimonial?
30894	Why rise again among men''s troubles and toils, where the wicked wag their shock beards and hound the weary out to labour?
30894	Why?
30894	Why?
30894	Will you kiss your little daughter from me, and tell her that her father has written a delightful poem about her?
30894	Will you remember me most affectionately to your wife?
30894	Will you remember me to everybody?
30894	Will you think it mean if I ask you to wait till there appears a promised cheap edition?
30894	With this moralist maxims meant actions; and where shall we easily find a much manlier spirit of wisdom than this?
30894	Would"daring"be better than"courage"?
30894	You know I was a story- teller ingrain; did not that reassure you?
30894	You know what I mean, do n''t you?
30894	You talk of my setting to a book, as if I could; do n''t you know that things must_ come_ to me?
30894	You understand, and you see that I am right?
30894	You understand?
30894	[_ San Francisco, April 1880._] My dear Sir,--Will you let me offer you this little book?
30894	[_ Swanston, Summer 1874._] MY DEAR COLVIN,--Am I mad?
30894	_ Ah nom de dieu!_ What do you think of all this?
30894	_ Et puis_, is it not one''s own fault?
30894	_ Friday._--"My dear Stevenson how do you do?
30894	_ Jerry Abershaw_ should be good, eh?
30894	_ Monday, August_(_ 2nd_, is it?
30894	_ Must all be veiled, while he that reads divines Catching the sense at two removes_?"
30894	_ Qu''en dis tu?
30894	_ Saturday._--I can not tell how I feel, who can ever?
30894	_ The Dying Christian?_ or one of his inimitable courtesies?
30894	_ The Dying Christian?_ or one of his inimitable courtesies?
30894	_[ Swanston, Summer 1874], Tuesday._ MY DEAR COLVIN,--What is new with you?
30894	_______________________________ That bit of childishness has made me laugh, do you blame me?
30894	a page of 4500 words; that''s not noble, is it?
30894	almost incredulously; and then quite a long while after:"Do you know the noise of the water astonished me very much?"
30894	and how is your wife?
30894	because I had been rude?
30894	but was it not overdone, even for a coronation-- almost a vulgar luxury?
30894	do you annoying yourself or no?
30894	have I done the like?
30894	is it not something incredibly subtle and perishable?
30894	or do they not know?
30894	or what?).
30894	the compass near the sign of the_ Twinkling Eye_?
30894	the night I lay on the pavement in misery?
30894	the night at Bonny mainhead?
30894	the sheet of glass that we followed along George Street?
30894	think you to go naked and unashamed this winter?
30894	were my dress boots withheld?
30894	what do I hear in my lug?
30894	what do you say?
30894	what had it?
30894	will it paddle, think you?
30894	would that do?
31809	Captain Payn in the harbour?
31809	Do you think it an unusually good guide- book?
31809	John, do you see that bed of resignation?
31809	Putis described quite differently from your version in a book I have; what are your rules?
31809	This ship is on fire, I see that; but why a pantomime?
31809	Var?
31809	You do n''t look a strong man,said the doctor;"but are you sound?"
31809	( 2) But what does she love me for?
31809	( Why ca n''t I spell and write like an honest, sober, god- fearing litry gent?
31809	--"What then?
31809	11?
31809	12)720(60 72 Is it possible?
31809	All at once?
31809	Also, could I have a look at Ewing''s_ précis_?
31809	Also, do you remember my strong, old, rooted belief that I shall die by drowning?
31809	Also, wherefore not a word, dear Colvin?
31809	Am I very sorry?
31809	Am I wrong?
31809	And O, why have I allowed myself to rot so long on land?
31809	And again:"to say all"?
31809	And anyway, is not excitement the proper reward of doing anything both right and a little dangerous?
31809	And can you believe that, though it is gaily expressed, the thought is hag and skeleton in every moment of vacuity or depression?
31809	And do you never come east?
31809	And how about me, sir, me?
31809	And if I had?
31809	And if he fails, why should I hear him weeping?
31809	And if the thing you do is to call upon others to do the thing you neglect?
31809	And if you are, why take a wilfully false hypothesis?
31809	And is it not perhaps a mere folly to attempt, from so hopeless a distance, anything so delicate as a series of papers?
31809	And now is this news, Cogia, or is it not?
31809	And now to the main point: why do we not see you?
31809	And now-- I wonder if I have not gone too far with the fantastic?
31809	And that again brings back( almost with the voice of despair) my unanswerable: why is it false?
31809	And that you would aiblins pay for me?
31809	And who has not?
31809	Are they fairly lively on the wires?
31809	Are they wooden, and dim, and no sport?
31809	Are we artists or city men?
31809	Are you aware that the praiser of this"brave gymnasium"has not seen a canoe nor taken a long walk since''79?
31809	Are you, too, not in the witness- box?
31809	As for my seamen, did Runciman ever know eighteenth century Buccaneers?
31809	As for not giving a reduction, what are we?
31809	Besides, in this year of-- grace, said I?--of disgrace, who should creep so low as an Englishman?
31809	But suppose, for the sake of argument, any money to be left in the hands of my painful doer, what is to be done with it?
31809	But the odd problem is: what makes a story true?
31809	But to what end should we renew these sorrows?
31809	But what is man?
31809	But what of that?
31809	But whaur?
31809	But who is Miss Green?
31809	But who was Miss Green?
31809	But why has he read too much Arnold?
31809	But why should I blame Gladstone, when I too am a Bourgeois?
31809	But why should I gird at you or anybody, when the truth is we are the most miserable sinners in the world?
31809	But why should you forget yourself and use these same italics as an index to my theology some pages further on?
31809	By the way, have you seen James and me on the novel?
31809	By the way, who wrote the_ Lion of the Nile_?
31809	By why?
31809	Can it be got and sent to me?
31809	Can it be?
31809	Can the elder hand_ beg_ more than once?
31809	Can you help a man getting into his boots for such a huge campaign?
31809	Cannae he no be made to understand that it''s beneath him?
31809	Christianity-- which?
31809	Comment aimez vous le pays?
31809	Comment celà va- t- il?
31809	Comment va le commerce?
31809	Comment vous portez- vous?
31809	Could it be Warminster?
31809	Could one get out of sight of land-- all in the blue?
31809	Could you get any one to tell me particulars?
31809	Could you send her this?
31809	Dear Thomson, have I ony money?
31809	Dear artist, can you do me that?
31809	Did I ever tell you that the Admiral was recognised in America?
31809	Did I tell you that S. C. had risen to the paper on James?
31809	Did you ever read St. Augustine?
31809	Did you see my sermon?
31809	Did you see that I had written about John Todd?
31809	Do n''t you like it?
31809	Do ye no think Henley, or Pollick, or some o''they London fellies, micht mebbe perhaps find out for me?
31809	Do you blench?
31809	Do you ever read( to go miles off, indeed) the incredible Barbey d''Aurévilly?
31809	Do you feel( you must) how strangely heavy and stupid I am?
31809	Do you know our-- ahem!--fellow clubman, Colonel Majendie?
31809	Do you know that Dew Smith has two photographs of him, neither very bad?
31809	Do you know that_ Treasure Island_ has appeared?
31809	Do you know what they called the_ Casco_ at Fakarava?
31809	Do you not feel so?
31809	Do you play All Fours?
31809	Do you remember acting the Fair One with Golden Locks?
31809	Do you remember making the whistle at Mount Chessie?
31809	Do you remember, at Warriston, one autumn Sunday, when the beech nuts were on the ground, seeing heaven open?
31809	Do you see the situation?
31809	Do you think you are right to send_ Macaire_ and the_ Admiral_ about?
31809	Does nature, even in my octogenarian carcase, run too strong that I must be still a bawler and a brawler and a treader upon corns?
31809	Et vous, mon très cher ami?
31809	Even as a boy, the Sibyl would have bust me; but I never read the VIth till I began it two days ago; it is all fresh and wonderful; do you envy me?
31809	Excellent, say you, but will you save and will you repay?
31809	First, I had to sink a lot of money in the cruise, and if I did n''t get health, how was I to get it back?
31809	For then, what is life?
31809	From your leads, do you behold St. Paul''s?
31809	Had you not better send me the bargains to sign?
31809	Has Davie never read_ Guy Mannering_,_ Rob Roy_, or_ The Antiquary_?
31809	Has Hyde[35] turned upon me?
31809	Has her house the proper terrace?
31809	Have I at last got, like you, to the pitch of being attacked?
31809	Have I fallen, like Danvers Carew?
31809	Have I other means?
31809	Have I yet asked you to despatch the books and papers left in your care to me at Apia, Samoa?
31809	Have you a_ Tourgueneff_?
31809	Have you heard that he became a stout, imperialist conservative?
31809	Have you no rich Catholic friends who would send him an organ that he could play upon?
31809	Have you observed that the famous problem of realism and idealism is one purely of detail?
31809	Have you read Meredith''s_ Love in the Valley_?
31809	Have you read_ Huckleberry Finn_?
31809	Have you seen Hyde''s( Dr. not Mr.) letter about Damien?
31809	Have you that fetish still?
31809	Have you, like Pepys,"the right to fiddle"there?
31809	Health?
31809	Herewith I pause, for why should I cast pearls before swine?
31809	Home no more home to me, whither must I wander?
31809	Hoo mony pages will there be, think ye?
31809	How about a law condemning the people of every country to be educated in another, to change sons in short?
31809	How am I to vote?
31809	How ape your agreeable frame of mind?
31809	How are you?
31809	How came it that you never communicated my rejection of Gilder''s offer for the Rhone?
31809	How does your class get along?
31809	How goes_ Keats_?
31809	How has the_ Deacon_ gone?
31809	How is Miss Boodle and her family?
31809	How much do you make per annum, I wonder?
31809	How should I come through?
31809	Hudson, Mrs. Hudson, Rowland, O, all first- rate: Rowland a very fine fellow; Hudson as good as he can stick( did you know Hudson?
31809	I am pained indeed, but how should I be offended?
31809	I am pleased that Mr. Gilder should like my literature; and I ask you particularly to thank Mr. Bunner( have I the name right?)
31809	I am still of the same mind five years later; did you observe that I had said"modern"authors?
31809	I am trying to write out this haunting bodily sense of absence; besides, what else should I write of?
31809	I am very sorry to hear you have been so poorly; I have been very well; it used to be quite the other way, used it not?
31809	I can imagine how you will wag your pow over it; and how ragged you will find it, etc., but has it not spirit all the same?
31809	I did not answer your letter from the States, for what was I to say?
31809	I do feel as if I was a coward and a traitor to desert my friends; only, my dear lady, you know what a miserable corrhyzal( is that how it is spelt?)
31809	I do not say my attitude is noble; but is yours conciliatory?
31809	I fear men who have no open faults; what do they conceal?
31809	I have never dared to say what I feel about men''s lives, because my own was in the wrong: shall I dare to send them to death?
31809	I like the first?
31809	I mean if I fail, why should I weep?
31809	I shall be off, I hope, in a week; but where?
31809	I should say he would not use this privilege(?)
31809	I suppose, if you please, you may say your verses are thin( would you so describe an arrow, by the way, and one that struck the gold?
31809	I think the receipt of such a letter might humble, shall I say even----?
31809	I was vexed at your account of my admired Meredith: I wish I could go and see him; as it is I will try to write; and yet( do you understand me?)
31809	I wonder did any of my letters from beautiful Tautira ever come to hand, with the descriptions of our life with Louis''s adopted brother Ori a Ori?
31809	I wonder how you liked the end of_ The Master_; that was the hardest job I ever had to do; did I do it?
31809	I wonder if I anywhere misapprehended you?
31809	I wonder if I have managed to give you any news this time, or whether the usual damn hangs over my letter?
31809	I wonder if Trélat would let me cut?
31809	I wonder if you saw me plunge, lance in rest, into a controversy thereanent?
31809	I wonder if you saw my book of verses?
31809	I wonder whether there are already enough, and whether you think that such a volume would be worth the publishing?
31809	I wonder, has Omond?
31809	If I ever write an account of this voyage, may I place this letter at the beginning?
31809	If I were there I should grind knives or write blank verse, or---- But at least you do not bathe?
31809	If it is, how can I help what is true?
31809	If it might be-- could it not be smoothed?
31809	If it was_ Captain Singleton_, send it to me, wo n''t you?
31809	If not, what do you complain of?
31809	If you have not got them, would you like me to write to Dew and ask him to give you proofs?
31809	If you knew I was a chronic invalid, why say that my philosophy was unsuitable to such a case?
31809	If you think it a dream, will Bain get me a second- hand copy, or who would?
31809	In the matter of the dedication, are not cross dedications a little awkward?
31809	Insatiable gulf, greedier than hell, and more silent than the woods of Styx, have you or have you not lost the dedication to the_ Child''s Garden_?
31809	Is it altogether your own?
31809	Is it not angelic?
31809	Is it not strange?
31809	Is it on the proper side of the hospital?
31809	Is it possible I have wounded you in some way?
31809	Is it possible for a man in Samoa to be in touch with the great heart of the People?
31809	Is it quite fair then to keep your face so steadily On my most light- hearted works, and then say I recognise no evil?
31809	Is not this wonderful?
31809	Is repentance, which God accepts, to have no avail with men?
31809	Is that not pretty?
31809	Is there any Greek Isle you would like to explore?
31809	Is there no chance of your coming hereabouts?
31809	Is there no word of it?
31809	Is there not some escape, some furlough from the Moral Law, some holiday jaunt contrivable into a Better Land?
31809	Is there one?
31809	Is this all?
31809	It is one that appeals to me, deals with that part of life that I think the most important, and you, if I gather rightly, so much less so?
31809	It scarce seems life to me; what must it be to you?
31809	It was strangely like old times to read the other; do n''t you remember the poisoning with mushrooms?
31809	Je ne puis même pas m''exprimer en Anglais; comment voudriez vous que je le pourrais en Français?
31809	Je regrette beaucoup le dédicace; peutêtre, quand vous viendrez nous voir, ne serait- il pas trop tard de l''ajouter?
31809	Little?
31809	Longman fetched by_ Otto_: is it a spoon or a spoilt horn?
31809	Look at the names:"The Solitude"--is that romantic?
31809	MY DEAR CHARLES,--Will you please send £ 20 to---- for a Christmas gift from----?
31809	MY DEAR MISS FERRIER,--Are you really going to fail us?
31809	Martha, Martha, do you hear the knocking at the door?
31809	May I beg you, the next time_ Roderick_ is printed off, to go over the sheets of the last few chapters, and strike out"immense"and"tremendous"?
31809	Millais( I hear) was painting Gladstone when the news came of Gordon''s death; Millais was much affected, and Gladstone said,"Why?
31809	Must we likewise change religions?
31809	My wife, hearing the order given about the boats, remarked to my mother,"Is n''t that nice?
31809	Ninth Objection: But am I not taken with the hope of excitement?
31809	No?
31809	Now when the spring begins, you must lay in your flowers: how do you say about a potted hawthorn?
31809	Now, look here, could you get me a loan of the Despatches, or is that a dream?
31809	Of course, if I go in the_ Morning Star_, I see all the eastern( or western?)
31809	Perhaps your daughter''s house has not a balcony at the back?
31809	Preaching the dankest Grundyism and upholding the rank customs of our trade-- you who are so cruel hard upon the customs of the publishers?
31809	Proavidence is a fine thing, but hoo would you like Proavidence to keep your till for ye?
31809	Proavidence( I''m no''sayin'') is all verra weel_ in its place_; but if Proavidence has nae mainners, wha''s to learn''t?
31809	Query two plates?
31809	R. L. S. When will your holiday be?
31809	Seraphina made a mistake about her Otto; it begins to swim before me dimly that you may have some traits of Seraphina?
31809	Seriously, do you like to repose?
31809	Shall I ever have money enough to write a play?
31809	Shall I?
31809	Shall we never shed blood?
31809	Should we not gain all around?
31809	Sixteen, you say?
31809	So I jest, when I do n''t address my mind to it: when I do, shall I be smit louting to my knee, as before the G. O. M.?
31809	Suppose that to be the case, will they be of any use to me in my place of exile?
31809	Suppose they_ are_ wrong?
31809	TO EDMUND GOSSE[_ Saranac Lake, March 31, 1888._] MY DEAR GOSSE,--Why so plaintive?
31809	Take a larger view; what is a year or two?
31809	Tenth Objection: But am I not taken with a notion of glory?
31809	Thank you again: you can draw and yet you do not love the ugly: what are you doing in this age?
31809	Thank you for it; my wife says,"Ca n''t I see him when we get back to London?"
31809	That sounds rather lofty work, does it not?
31809	That''s a good idea?
31809	The lad?
31809	The last is a great thing for life but-- query?--a bad endowment for art?
31809	The palm- trees?--how is that for the gorgeous East?
31809	The physician must heal himself; he must honestly_ try_ the path he recommends: if he does not even try, should he not be silent?
31809	The reason of my_ dèche_?
31809	The thermometer was nearly down to 50 ° the other day-- no temperature for me, Mr. James: how should I do in England?
31809	The valet is no end; how long can you live on a valet?
31809	The whole piece is marked allegro; but surely could easily be played too fast?
31809	There are you; has the man no gratitude?
31809	There has been offered for_ Treasure Island_--how much do you suppose?
31809	There is Smeoroch[8]: is he blind?
31809	This is a great order, is it not?
31809	This is lightness of touch indeed; may I say, it is almost sharpness of practice?
31809	To be idle at Dover is a strange pretension; pray, how do you warm yourself?
31809	To which of these does B. J. refer?
31809	To"say all"?
31809	Was I well inspired?
31809	Was she there in the summer of 1884?
31809	We are like to be here, however, many a long week before we get away, and then whither?
31809	We can not get any fruit here: can you manage to send me some grapes?
31809	We should be paid if we give the pleasure we pretend to give; but why should we be honoured?
31809	Well, am I not tolerated, are you not tolerated?--we and_ our_ faults?
31809	Well, what can we do or say?
31809	Well, what is the odds?
31809	Well, what then?
31809	Were they as tall as alps, if still unsavoury and bleak, what matters it?
31809	Wha kens?
31809	What are Cassells to do with this eccentric mass of blague and seriousness?
31809	What are you about?
31809	What can I say?
31809	What do you do when people to whom you have been the dearest of friends requite you by acting like fiends?
31809	What do you say, my dear critic?
31809	What do you think this is?
31809	What does it prove?
31809	What is man''s chief end?
31809	What is the reason?
31809	What reasons can you gather from this example for your belief that Mr. S. is unable to write any other measure?"
31809	What ship?"
31809	What, it would not have been the same if Dumas or Musset had done it, would it not?
31809	What, then, to do with them?
31809	Whaur the devil did ye get thon about the soap?
31809	When I saw you ten years ago, you looked rough and-- kind of stigmatised, a look of an embittered political shoemaker; where is it now?
31809	When will this activity cease?
31809	Where does he learn that?
31809	Where has fleeting beauty led?
31809	Where, then, is the ground of this horror in any intelligent Servant of Humanity?
31809	Wherefore now Should Locker ask a verse from me?
31809	Who would?
31809	Why am I so penniless, ever, ever penniless, ever, ever penny- penny- penniless and dry?
31809	Why did I hold my peace?
31809	Why do people babble?
31809	Why do we sneer at stockbrokers?
31809	Why had Apollonius no pimples?
31809	Why have I not written my_ Timon_?
31809	Why not do something of the same kind for the"culchawed"?
31809	Why should_ you_ hear_ me_?
31809	Why throw cold water?
31809	Why was I silent?
31809	Why was Jenkin an amateur in my eyes?
31809	Why will he avoid-- obviously avoid-- fine writing up to which he has led?
31809	Why will people spring bills on you?
31809	Why?
31809	Will Cassell stand it?
31809	Will the correspondents be more copious and less irrelevant in the future?
31809	Will this beginner move in the inverse direction?
31809	Will you oblige me by paying in for three articles, as already sent, to my account with John Paton& Co., 52 William Street?
31809	Will you please send me the Greek water- carrier''s song?
31809	Will you pray send us some?
31809	Will you take this miserable scrap for what it is worth?
31809	Will_ Treasure Island_ proofs be coming soon, think you?
31809	With every good wish from me and mine( should I not say"she and hers"?)
31809	Would I like to see the Scots Observer?
31809	Would it bloom?
31809	Would n''t I not?
31809	Would not the Englishman unlearn hypocrisy?
31809	Would not the Frenchman learn to put some heart into his friendships?
31809	Would you be surprised to learn that I contemplate becoming a shipowner?
31809	Yes, it is like old times to be writing you from the Riviera, and after all that has come and gone, who can predict anything?
31809	Yet we see that he has left an influence; the memory of his patient courtesy has often checked me in rudeness; has it not you?
31809	You can give me that much, can you not?
31809	You may remember Walter had a romantic affection for all pharmacies?
31809	You remember my lectures on Ajax, or the Unintentional Sin?
31809	You say you are"a spoon- fed idiot"; but how about Lenz?
31809	You see how this d-- d poeshie flows from me in sickness: Are they good or bad?
31809	You will tell me, perhaps, that you carry the coin yourself: my dear sir, do you think you can fool your Maker?
31809	[ 31] What is a haole?
31809	[_ Campagne Defli, St. Marcel, January 1883._] MY DEAR MR. SYMONDS,--What must you think of us?
31809	[_ Saranac Lake, February 1888?_] MY DEAR ARCHER,--It happened thus.
31809	[_ Saranac Lake, Winter 1887- 88._] MY DEAR ARCHER,--What am I to say?
31809	[_ Wensleydale, Bournemouth, October 1884?_] DEAR BOY,--I trust this finds you well; it leaves me so- so.
31809	_ Apropos_ of old days, do you remember still the phrase we heard in Waterloo Place?
31809	_ Bonallie Towers, Bournemouth[ December 1884?
31809	_ Business._--Will you be likely to have a space in the Magazine for a serial story, which should be ready, I believe, by April, at latest by autumn?
31809	_ La Solitude, Hyères[ November 1883]._ MY DEAR HENRIETTA,--Certainly; who else would they be?
31809	_ Marseilles, June 1884._ DEAR S. C.,--Are these four in time?
31809	_ N.B._--Where I have put an"A"is that a dominant eleventh, or what?
31809	_ Saranac Lake, January''88._ DEAR CHARLES,--You are the flower of Doers.... Will my doer collaborate thus much in my new novel?

31809	about Scott and his tears?
31809	and has it brought you luck?
31809	and have you ever read it yourself?
31809	and if the latter, is that allowed?
31809	and just what the soom was?
31809	and one giving a lively, though not flattering air of him in conversation?
31809	and the bottles in the window were for him a poem?
31809	and though the verse is not all your fancy painted it, has it not some life?
31809	and what about the sailors''food?
31809	and will you observe again that this passage touches the very joint of our division?
31809	et l''enfant?
31809	et la femme?
31809	how is that?
31809	how?
31809	is it so long?

31809	what does it change?
31809	what return But the image of the emptiness of youth, Filled with the sound of footsteps and that voice Of discontent and rapture and despair?
31809	what was the context?
31809	what?
31809	when I have held my peace?
31809	£ 60!!??
31809	£ 60!!??
30714	And has one man done all this?
30714	Be sure we''ll have some pleisand weather, When a''the clouds( storms?) 30714 Has he done his work?"
30714	His brother was killed there,pursued Salé; and Belle, prompt as an echo,"Then there are no more of the family?
30714	Is this the road across the island?
30714	The coast is so rugged,said Salé.--"What?"
30714	Ulufanua the isle of the sea,read that verse dactylically and you get the beat; the u''s are like our double oo; did ever you hear a prettier word?
30714	Well,said the waiter,"what d''you expect?
30714	What do you call that?
30714	What do you want with a gun, Arick?
30714	What that?
30714	White man he gone up here?
30714	Why do you do that?
30714	( 1) Will Mataafa surrender?
30714	( 2) Will his people allow themselves to be disarmed?
30714	( 3) What will happen to them if they do?
30714	( 4) What will any of them believe after former deceptions?
30714	("Draw all his strength and all His sweetness up into one ball"?

30714	257"Home no more home to me, where must I wander?"
30714	273"Home no more home to me, whither must I wander?"

30714	84"Who comes to- night?
30714	A History for Children?
30714	A subject?
30714	Adela, Adela, Adela Chart, What have you done to my elderly heart?
30714	Aha, say you, and what is a black boy?
30714	Also could any trace be found through Nether- Carsewell?
30714	Am I beginning to be sucked in?
30714	Am I right in thinking you were a shade bored over the last chapters?
30714	And AM I HANGIT?
30714	And I dare say the consuls say,"Why, then, does he write them?"
30714	And I thought the French were a polite race?
30714	And Old X----?
30714	And first, how about blunders?
30714	And hence, how to sugar?
30714	And if I had done so, what would have been the result?
30714	And if so, why is the lava sharp?
30714	And rest?
30714	And then the problem that Pinkerton laid down: why the artist can_ do nothing else_?
30714	And then?
30714	And was that last chapter worth the trouble it cost?
30714	And who is the true champion of Samoa?
30714	And why ca n''t R. L. S.?
30714	And why did I read it to an end, W. E. G.?
30714	And will you please to observe that almost all that is ugly is in the whites?
30714	And without an opinion, how to string artistically vast accumulations of fact?
30714	Apropos, I want a book about Paris, and the_ first return_ of the_ émigrés_ and all up to the_ Cent Jours_: d''ye ken anything in my way?
30714	Are you Great Eaters?
30714	Are you a reader of Barbey d''Aurévilly?
30714	Are you going to do it?
30714	As he left I heard the villagers asking_ which was the great lady_?
30714	As yet we have not had it at Vailima, and, who knows?
30714	At last we had him spread- eagled to the iron bedstead, by his wrists and ankles, with matted rope; a most inhumane business, but what could we do?
30714	B._ map?
30714	Balfour_?
30714	Because?
30714	Boys switched out of college into a pulpit, what chance have they?
30714	But Marbot and Vitrolles are dead, and what has become of the living?
30714	But could I, in my present disposition, do much more with it?
30714	But did you ever hear of anything so tantalizing as for you to tell me the story and not send me your notes?
30714	But in this out- of- the- way place, are these extreme experiments wise?
30714	But then with what colour to relieve it?
30714	But what are they made of?
30714	But what did he want with me?
30714	But what have you to do with this?
30714	But what was his errand with me?
30714	But what would it matter?
30714	But what would the ex- Slade professor do about the letter Y?
30714	But when or where to say so?
30714	But which is it to be?
30714	But why has it not come?
30714	But will you not run dry of fairy stories?
30714	By the by, did you ever play piquet?
30714	By the by, was it not over_ The Child''s Garden of Verses_ that we first scraped acquaintance?
30714	Can I finish it for next mail?
30714	Can I really have found the tap- root of my illustrious ancestry at last?
30714	Can that be the difference?
30714	Can you give us any advice as to a fresh field of energy?
30714	Can you help?
30714	Can you not see that the work of_ falsification_ which a play demands is of all tasks the most ungrateful?
30714	Certainly Kipling has the gifts; the fairy godmothers were all tipsy at his christening: what will he do with them?
30714	Could it be again at the circuit town?
30714	Could we ever stand Europe again?
30714	Could you get me further back?
30714	Did I ask you to send me my books and papers, and all the bound volumes of the mag.?
30714	Did I go and dedicate my book[64] to the nasty alien, and the''norrid Frenchman, and the Bloody Furrineer?
30714	Did ever anybody see such a story of four characters?
30714	Did you ever blow the conch shell?
30714	Did you observe the dedication?
30714	Did you read the_ Witch of Prague_?
30714	Did you see a silly tale,_ John Nicholson''s Predicament_,[15] or some such name, in which I made free with your home at Murrayfield?
30714	Did_ no one_ of them write memoirs?
30714	Do I then prefer a famine to a war?
30714	Do I wish to advertise?
30714	Do you appreciate the height and depth of my temptation?
30714	Do you know I picked up the other day an old Longman''s where I found an article of yours that I had missed, about Christie''s?
30714	Do you know anything of Thomson?
30714	Do you know anything of it?
30714	Do you know barbed wire?
30714	Do you know the story of the man who found a button in his hash, and called the waiter?
30714	Do you know the_ Chevalier des Touches_ and_ L''Ensorcelée_?
30714	Do you know where the road crosses the burn under Glencorse Church?
30714	Do you know, and have you really tasted, these delightful works?
30714	Do you know, it strikes me as being really very good?
30714	Do you know, though we are but three miles from the village metropolis, we have no road to it, and our goods are brought on the pack- saddle?
30714	Do you know, when I am in this mood, I would rather try to read a bad book?
30714	Do you mind the SIGNAL of Waterloo Place?--Hey, how the blood stands to the heart at such a memory!--Hae ye the notes o''t?
30714	Do you mind the youth in highland garb and the tableful of coppers?
30714	Do you not suppose that makes me proud?
30714	Do you see me doing that with a catarrh?
30714	Do you think I have an empty life?
30714	Do you think it would look like affectation to dedicate the whole edition to his memory?
30714	Do you understand?
30714	Do you wish to illustrate_ My Grandfather_?
30714	Does it not amaze you?
30714	Does it shake my cast- iron faith?
30714	Expect to find a gold watch and chain?"
30714	Fiction?
30714	For how many centuries did literature get along without a sign of it?
30714	For what is this that you say about the Muses?
30714	Gay designation?
30714	Had the secret oozed out?
30714	Has he changed his mind already?
30714	Have the Neilston parish registers been searched?
30714	Have you any document for the decapitation?
30714	Have you any old notes of the trouble in the West Indian business which took Hugh and Alan to their deaths?
30714	Have you been as forgetful as Lloyd?
30714	Have you buried it in a napkin?
30714	Have you identified Nether Carsewell?
30714	Have you seen it coming out in Longman''s?
30714	Have you seen no more of Graham?
30714	He asked me why I had not been to see him?
30714	He was helping his wife on the verandah, and gaily talking, when suddenly he put both hands to his head, and cried out,"What''s that?"
30714	He writes very prettily, and then afterwards?
30714	Heads or tails?
30714	Heard you ever of him?
30714	Heavenly apologue, is it not?
30714	Here is a long while I have been waiting for something_ good_ in art; and what have I seen?
30714	Here, you boy, what you do there?
30714	History for Children?
30714	How about my old friend Fountainhall''s_ Decisions?_ I remember as a boy that there was some good reading there.
30714	How can anybody care when or how I left Honolulu?
30714	How could I have dreamed the French prisoners were watched over like a female charity school, kept in a grotesque livery, and shaved twice a week?
30714	How do journalists fetch up their drivel?
30714	How does it strike you?
30714	How does_ The Wrecker_ go in the States?
30714	How had they acquired so considerable a business at an age so early?
30714	How have I seen this first number?
30714	How if he should put dynamite under the gaol, and in case of an attempted rescue blow up prison and all?
30714	How is it that amateurs invariably take better photographs than professionals?
30714	How is that for high?
30714	How should the grave Be victor over these, Mother, a mother of men?"
30714	How to get back?
30714	How would Rarotonga do?
30714	How, then, to choose some former age, and stick there?
30714	I always suspect_ you_ of a volume of sonnets up your sleeve; when is it coming down?
30714	I am sending you a lot of verses, which had best, I think, be called_ Underwoods_ Book III., but in what order are they to go?
30714	I can not bear this suspense: what is it?
30714	I do n''t think I ever saw this engraved; would it not, if you could get track of it, prove a taking embellishment?
30714	I have not got beyond James Stevenson and Jean Keir his spouse, to whom Robert the First(?)
30714	I have the old petty, personal view of honour?
30714	I have_ carte blanche_, and say what I like; but does any single soul understand me?
30714	I helped the chiefs who were in prison; and when they were set free, what should they do but offer to make a part of my road for me out of gratitude?
30714	I know what kind of effect I mean a character to give-- what kind of_ tache_ he is to make; but how am I to tell my collaborator in words?
30714	I never could fathom why verse was put in magazines; it has something to do with the making- up, has it not?
30714	I observe with disgust that while of yore, when I own I was guilty, you never spared me abuse-- but now, when I am so virtuous, where is the praise?
30714	I pulled it off, of course, I won the wager, and it is pleasant while it lasts; but how long will it last?
30714	I remember acknowledging with rapture_ The Lesson of the Master_, and I remember receiving_ Marbot_: was that our last relation?
30714	I said,"all these villages and no landing- place?"
30714	I say, have you ever read the_ Highland Widow_?
30714	I see with some alarm the proposal to print_ Juvenilia_; does it not seem to you taking myself a little too much as Grandfather William?
30714	I thought Bourget was a friend of yours?
30714	I thought_ Aladdin_[37] capital fun; but why, in fortune, did he pretend it was moral at the end?
30714	I wonder exceedingly if I have done anything at all good; and who can tell me?
30714	I wonder if any one had ever the same attitude to Nature as I hold, and have held for so long?
30714	I wonder if you think as ill of mine as I do of yours?
30714	I wonder if you think as well of your purple passages as I do of mine?
30714	I wonder is there nothing that seems to prolong the series?
30714	I, as a personal artist, can begin a character with only a haze in my head, but how if I have to translate the haze into words before I begin?
30714	I. JAMES, a tenant of the Mures, in Nether- Carsewell,|| Neilston, married( 1665?)
30714	If that was Heaven, what, in the name of Davy Jones and the aboriginal night- mare, could Hell be?
30714	If this be so, might not the Cauldwell charter chest contain some references to their Stevenson tenantry?
30714	Is he still afloat?
30714	Is it next Christmas you are coming?
30714	Is it possible for me to write a preface here?
30714	Is something of this sort practicable for the dedication?
30714	Is that your mother''s breakfast?
30714	Is there any book which would guide me as to the following facts?
30714	Is this the reason why war has disappeared?
30714	Is this, then, a new_ drive_[83] among the monkeys?
30714	It is great fun( I have tried it) for the child, and I never heard of it doing any harm to the fishes: so what could be more jolly?
30714	It is not all beer and skittles, is it?
30714	It sounds cheering, does n''t it?
30714	It was Kirriemuir, was it not?
30714	It was about four, I suppose, that we met in the Lothian Road,--had we the price of two bitters between us?
30714	It''s done, and of course it ai n''t worth while, and who cares?
30714	It''s no forgery?
30714	J. Horne Stevenson( do you know him?)
30714	Jack saw it, and he was appalled; do you think he thought of shying?
30714	Last, will it mark sufficiently that I mean my wife?
30714	Lives of the Stevensons?
30714	Looked at so, is it not, with all its tragic features, wonderfully idyllic, with great beauty of scene and circumstance?
30714	Make another end to it?
30714	May I tell the sister of my father?
30714	Might I ask if you have any material to go upon?
30714	My good man, is it three or five years that you have been to sea?"
30714	O I know I have n''t told you about our_ aitu_, have I?
30714	Of A----, B----, C----, D----, E----, F----, at all?
30714	Of course you will send me sheets of the catalogue; I suppose it( the preface) need not be long; perhaps it should be rather very short?
30714	On Friday, Henry came and told us he must leave and go to"my poor old family in Savaii"; why?
30714	On Thursday, a policeman came up to me and began that a boy had been to see him, and said I was going to see Mataafa.--"And what did you say?"
30714	On the return journey on Sunday, they were led by Austin playing(?)
30714	On the way down Fanny said,"Now what would you do if you saw Colvin coming up?"
30714	Or is it only afternoon tea?
30714	Or suppose he took the other version, how would he meet the case, the two N.''s?
30714	Or would that look like sham modesty, and is it better to bring out the three Roberts?
30714	Or-- might Lieutenant G. be her tutor, and she fugitive to the Pringles, and on the discovery of her whereabouts hastily married?
30714	Query, in a man who has been so much calumniated, is that not justifiable?
30714	Query, was that lost?
30714	Question: How far a Historical Novel should be wholly episodic?
30714	Samoa?
30714	Shall I be suffered to embark?
30714	Shall I become a midnight twitterer like my neighbours?
30714	So you have tried fiction?
30714	So you think there is nothing better to be done with time than that?
30714	So, at last, you are going into mission work?
30714	Stevenson?"
30714	Stevensons?
30714	Surely you had not recognised the phrase about boodle?
30714	TO HENRY JAMES_ December 5th, 1892._ MY DEAR JAMES,--How comes it so great a silence has fallen?
30714	TO SIDNEY COLVIN_ Saturday, 24th(?)
30714	Talking of which, ai n''t it manners in France to acknowledge a dedication?
30714	The thought began to haunt him, What if his power of earning were soon to cease?
30714	Then he asked quickly,"Do I look strange?"
30714	Then my wife asked him,"So you refuse to break bread?"
30714	Then_ viator_( though it_ sounds_ all right) is doubtful; it has too much, perhaps, the sense of wayfarer?
30714	They may be seen to shrug a brown shoulder, to roll up a speaking eye, and at last secret burst from them:"Where is the bottle?"
30714	This makes a cheery life after Samoa; but it is n''t what you call burning the candle at both ends, is it?
30714	Those who had accompanied them cried to them on the streets as they were marched to prison,"Shall we rescue you?"
30714	True; but why did he go?
30714	Was it grateful?
30714	Was it politic?
30714	Well, suppose we call that cried off, and begin as before?
30714	Well, then, what is curious?
30714	Were they arrested?
30714	What about my Grandfather?
30714	What ails you, miserable man, to talk of saving material?
30714	What am I to do?
30714	What did I mean?
30714	What do I please?
30714	What do I think of it all?
30714	What do the little girls in the cellar think that Austin does?
30714	What do we know of yours?
30714	What do you care for ours?
30714	What do you suppose should be done with_ The Ebb Tide_?
30714	What do you think of it for a year?
30714	What do you think of that for a vicissitude?
30714	What does my village want?
30714	What else are you doing or thinking of doing?
30714	What else is to be done for these silly folks?
30714	What for he take my pig?"
30714	What has gone on?
30714	What is wrong, then?
30714	What is your love to his love?
30714	What was in it?
30714	What will Cedercrantz think when he comes back?
30714	What will he do with it?
30714	What would you do with a guest at such narrow seasons?--eat him?
30714	When Mataafa was taken, who was our support but Tusitala?
30714	When shall I receive proofs of the Magnum Opus?
30714	When your hand is in, will you remember our poor Edinburgh Robin?
30714	Where the devil shall I go next?
30714	Where there are traders, there will be ammunition; aphorism by R. L. S. Now what am I to do next?
30714	Where would this trial have to be?
30714	Whether to add one or both the tales I sent you?
30714	Whether to call the whole volume_ Island Nights''Entertainments_?
30714	Who could foresee that they clothed the French prisoners in yellow?
30714	Who has changed the sentence?
30714	Why did I take up_ David Balfour_?
30714	Why do you not send me Jerome K. Jerome''s paper, and let me see_ The Ebb Tide_ as a serial?
30714	Why does n''t some young man take it up?
30714	Why have I wasted the little time that is left with a sort of naked review article?
30714	Why should I disguise it?
30714	Why should not young Hermiston escape clear out of the country?
30714	Why should they not then?
30714	Why should you suppose your book will be slated because you have no friends?
30714	Why the devil does no one send me Atalanta?
30714	Why?
30714	Will any one ever read it?
30714	Will it do for the young person?
30714	Will the public ever stand such an opus?
30714	Will you give my heartiest congratulations to Mr. Spender?
30714	Will you kindly send an able- bodied reader to compulse the parish registers of Neilston, if they exist or go back as far?
30714	Will you try to imitate me in that if the spirit ever moves you to reply?
30714	Work?
30714	Would it bore you to communicate to that effect with the great man?
