41035Abdel Kader,said he, when he saw me standing in front of him,"are you submitting with resignation to your fate?"
41035Abdel Kader,said he,"are you well?"
41035All right,said I,"but how is he going to cure me?"
41035All right,said I;"but tell me privately who sent you here, the Khalifa or Yakub?"
41035Am I then known as a tyrant amongst the people,said he,"that the sound of my ombeÿa should always mean the death of some one?"
41035And now, Abdel Kader, what have you to say?
41035And what did you answer?
41035And what else have you against the man?
41035And what is the punishment for disobedience?
41035And you,said he,"where do you wish to go; have you any one to take care of you?"
41035And you?
41035Are you a Mohammedan?
41035Are you going to tell me where you have hidden your treasure?

41035I was told that the names of Elias Pasha and Hajji Mohammed Abu Girga are mentioned; is this so?
41035If you do not wish to fight for your wives and children, for what then will you fight?
41035Is not this the head of your uncle the unbeliever?
41035Is your wife of your own race?
41035No; what medicine?
41035Now, then,said the Khalifa, impatiently,"have you made out what it means?"
41035Of what race are you?
41035Perhaps,said Wad Ibrahim,"you are unwilling to fire on Gordon, who is said to be your uncle, and that is your reason for making these excuses?"
41035Poison?
41035Suppose that I now turned Mohammedan,said I,"would my men believe in me and hope for victory?
41035Tell me now,said I, well knowing how jealous they were of each other,"to which of you should I hand over my arms and my horses?"
41035Tell me, Isa, what was the end?
41035That is very questionable,said I;"but have you left a family at home?"
41035Then what does this telegram mean?
41035Then you are for having the man killed?
41035This drink,said he,"encourages one for the fight; and as for our wives and children, why should we leave them for our enemies?
41035Very well,he said,"I believe you; and so you refuse to marry my cousin?"
41035Well, my fine hero, where is your courage now?

41035Who are you?
41035Who knows?
41035Why have you come here; and what do you want from us?
41035Why on account of my faith?
41035Why,said he, smiling,"did you not wait for me outside the camp, instead of entering without permission?
41035Why?
41035You are not tired?
41035Zeki,said I,"did Mohammed give you the medicine?"
41035( Abdel Kader, are you well?).
41035( Where is your master, Zubeir?
41035A wild discharge of fire- arms and cannon, and in a few minutes complete stillness?
41035And after that what was to be our fate?
41035And were not the troops composed mostly of the disbanded rabble of Arabi Pasha''s army, which had just been defeated by the British?
41035And would this year come and go like the rest, leaving me still in his clutches?
41035Are you going to write a letter to the Mahdi?"
41035As most of the workmen in the dock- yard were killed during the siege of Khartum, I suppose you have had some difficulty in replacing them?"
41035At length, the Khalifa approached my corner, and, with a friendly nod, said,"Abdel Kader, enta tayeb?"
41035Besides, do you not think it is outrageous that an old woman like you should have married a young lad who might have been your grandson?"
41035Besides, were there not now enrolled under the Mahdi''s banners thousands of regulars and irregulars who had been formerly in the Government service?
41035But how long was I to continue in this wretched position?
41035But tell me how goes it at Toweisha?
41035But tell me, sir, frankly, why should I be detained?"
41035But who was the originator of this movement which had already been so successful?
41035But why should I worry myself with such thoughts?
41035But, sire, how can I, your servant, take your own wife for myself?
41035By- the- bye where is Mustafa?
41035Can any one imagine that this was a pleasing prospect?
41035Can you find the way alone, or shall I come back for you?"
41035Could it be a letter from my relations, or from the Egyptian Government; and had the messenger who brought it been captured?
41035Could it be that he had been befooled by the Mahdi''s doctrines and preaching?
41035Could the rescuing army possibly arrive in time?
41035Could they have been noticed by some Dervishes who had perhaps arrested them on suspicion?
41035Could they have opposed the Mahdi, his forty thousand rifles, and his hosts of wild fanatics panting for blood and plunder?
41035Could this possibly be the great attack on Khartum?
41035Cutting his way through the first line of Bazingers, Ibrahim shouted,"Fein sidkum ez Zubeir?"
41035Did he think that it was out of the question for an English expedition to be delayed?
41035Did their commanders not know Khartum, and the lives of all in it, were hanging by a thread?
41035Did they imagine for a moment that all these men, when the chance came, intended to desert and join Hicks?
41035Did you not assert yesterday, Sergeant Mohammed, that you had almost two hundred men at your disposal?
41035Do you agree to these conditions, and do you promise to put them into full effect?"
41035Do you not recognise God''s power in this?
41035Do you now expect to gather more riches?"
41035Do you see that stone hillock about three miles away?
41035Do you understand what I mean?"
41035Do you want to leave them to the tender mercies of our enemies?"
41035Had Gordon never been informed of the Mahdi''s proclamations, sent to all the tribes after the fall of El Obeid?
41035Had I better send the horse I gave you after you, or shall I keep it here?"
41035Had new difficulties arisen?
41035Had they not conquered Bahr el Ghazal, and brought the proud Sultans of Darfur to submission?
41035Had they not won victories on the White Nile at Duffilà ©?
41035Hassan instantly turned to me, saying,"Do you still think you are Governor- General of Darfur and can say what you like?"
41035Have they not been tried?"
41035Have you any objection?"
41035Have you forgotten the duties required of you from your position?
41035He duly arrived the next day, and, seeing my three Black boys at the door, his first question was,"Are these boys free, or slaves?"
41035He might well have employed a company of soldiers for this purpose; and who would have thought of questioning the advantage of protecting himself?
41035He then asked me, abruptly,"Are you not a Mohammedan; where then did you leave your wives?"
41035His extraordinary success has inclined your heart to him; have you forgotten all the favours you have reaped from Government?
41035How do you feel after your long and tiring journey?"
41035How is the chief of the district, Abo Bey el Bartawi?"
41035How long did you take to come here?"
41035How long was I to keep up this constant strain of always standing on the defensive; how much longer could my present relations with the Khalifa last?
41035How much was I still to suffer before it came to my turn to enter into everlasting rest?
41035I am ready to do so, but what shall I earn by the job?"
41035I at once rushed up and begged him to allow me to do this for him, but he answered,''Why should I be ashamed of doing work?
41035I confess to feeling a little mistrustful when I thought of what Ahmed had said; but then, after all, doctors in Europe speak, so why should not he?
41035I have not seen him since we left Rahad?"
41035I now raised my head, which hitherto I had kept closely bent down; and the Khalifa asked,"Well, what do the papers contain?"
41035I will bring you an animal to ride, or do you feel strong enough to go on foot?"
41035In another passage he wrote,"I make my notes and write my reports, but who is going to take them home?"
41035In what direction are they going?"
41035Is not this so?"
41035Is she not pretty, or has she a bad character?"
41035Is the house I am to have uninhabited?"
41035Is this what they object to?
41035It was now to be a case of my wits against those of my new masters,--who would win?
41035Master, where is the heart without fear?
41035Motioning us to be seated, he welcomed us, and, turning to me, said,"Are you satisfied?"
41035Now may I ask you if, during your illness, the Mahdi paid any attention to you?"
41035Now what had the Mahdi done, and wherein lay his power to revive a religion which had become so debased?
41035Now, how was it possible for me in a bushy, trackless region, with heavily laden camels, to catch up a man flying on a horse?
41035Now, in accordance with the Mahdi''s orders, I was out of harm''s way; but what was to be my fate?
41035Now, tell me truly?"
41035Of what use was the English army now?
41035Once in the presence of the Khalifa, the latter said to me,"And what is your opinion?"
41035Or do you not agree?"
41035Poor Vizetelly made his sketches, and O''Donovan wrote his diary; but who was to send them home to those who were so anxiously awaiting them?
41035Should we concur with your proposals, what do you consider we should do with him?"
41035Sire, what have I done?
41035Speak, is it not so?"
41035Speaking generally to all present, I said to them,"Can any of you understand how it was we were defeated to- day?"
41035Taking no notice of his question,"Where is your master the Mahdi?"
41035Tell me now what is written on the paper?"
41035Tell me now, truthfully, why you left the others?"
41035Tell me what is the present condition of Khartum, and what are the population doing?"
41035Tell me, how am I regarded personally by the men and the officers, excepting, of course, those who are selfishly seeking their own interests?"
41035The delay was inexplicable; what could it mean?
41035The sun was now rising red over the horizon; what would this day bring forth?
41035Then what could be more cruel than his punishment of the Ashraf?
41035Then what could have induced him to read that fatal notice, proclaiming far and wide that the Government intended to abandon the Sudan?
41035Then why did they not send some Englishmen on board, no matter how few, and despatch them instantly to Khartum?
41035These were the last words I ever heard him utter; but who could have imagined the fate that was in store for both of us?
41035They will trust you implicitly; but will you change your faith from conviction?"
41035This was evidently a most lucrative trade; but how were the establishments of these merchants to be taxed, and what action was I to take?
41035To turn from generalisation to details, what do we find to be the present situation?
41035Turning then to Lupton, he said,"And you, Abdullahi?"
41035Was I to trust him, or not?
41035Was it possible Sultan Harun had suddenly returned and was attacking my men?
41035Was it possible the news was false?
41035Was it to be that of Mohammed Pasha Said and Ali Bey Sherif?
41035We have at once had the man imprisoned, for he formerly escaped from here; what have you to say in your defence?"
41035What can they do of themselves against their despotic rulers?
41035What change has come over me?
41035What could have happened to our men?
41035What could the Khalifa want of me at such an hour?
41035What could this ill- armed and ignorant fiki do?
41035What do those people care about good actions and kindnesses previously done to them?
41035What have you to say to this?"
41035What was I to do with horses, when I was not allowed to ride them?
41035What was I to do?
41035What was the nature of his teachings?
41035What was the use of all these decorations now; what good were all their ranks and honours?
41035What, therefore, could be his intentions?
41035When may I come and take over your old house?"
41035When one''s possessions have been seized by violence and carried off, are they likely to be given back?
41035When will they miss you?"
41035Where is my motto of"Never despair?"
41035Whilst I was talking, Salama had tightened up the cloth round his chest and loins, and merely said,"Where are the letters?"
41035Who can be nobler than the direct descendant of the Prophet?"
41035Who could have induced him to believe that the Kuran which had been sent to me was the Gospel?
41035Who, therefore, in the whole world holds so high a position as I?
41035Why did he neglect to make a redoubt, or keep within the fortifications, the central point of which might well have been the Palace?
41035Why did he not write to you himself, if he thinks well of you?"
41035Why did the long expected steamers with the English troops not come?
41035Why do n''t they let me stay with you?"
41035Why do you not ask for mercy?"
41035Why should such men as Yusef Pasha, Mohammed Bey, and Abu Sidr fear a starving crowd of sickly, half- famished, and almost naked Arabs?
41035Will Egypt once more become the actual possessor of the country of which she was the legitimate owner?
41035Would some unforeseen event frustrate this effort too?
41035Would this attempt also fail like the others?
41035Yet could it be possible the news was grossly exaggerated?
41035You have the money on you?"
41035You remember it, do you not, Abdel Kader?
41035and where are all the merchants and their families who came to you for protection?
41035and would that give them more confidence in me?"
41035said I, in a tone of wonder,"how could heavily laden camels become separated from horsemen?
41035said I;"how could I know of his intention to escape, and how could I tell you that he had done so?
41035said he to me,"or are there different tribes in your country, as there are here with us in the Sudan?"
41035said the Mahdi,"why should you have done this?
18868''And they lived?'' 18868 ''Are you, then, a hakim?''
18868''Bimbashi,''they said,''what will be done about you? 18868 ''But what would be done if they had not that sleep medicine?''
18868''Could you do that?'' 18868 ''Is there any place where I can put my horse?''
18868''No,''I said;''who am I, that they should come to me? 18868 ''What are the knives for?''
18868''What say you, Abu? 18868 ''You are still determined to go?''
18868''You have been some time at Khartoum?'' 18868 ''You hear what my son says?
18868''You really think that would come of it?'' 18868 After you were cut off, I suppose?"
18868Alexandria?
18868And did you succeed in your search?
18868And has any news been received of the whereabouts of the Khalifa?
18868And if a man fails altogether, what is there open to him?
18868And now, what about yourself, what would you like to do?
18868And so you, too, leapt overboard to save a woman?
18868And there are wells?
18868And what are you going to do?
18868And what became of that?
18868And what was the illness you had, Mother?
18868And where do you think the great fight is likely to take place?
18868And where is the pocketbook, now?
18868And you never heard of anything being hidden, before the British troops arrived?
18868And you speak the language of the Nubian blacks?
18868And you would, if necessary-- say, in the case of illness of one of my clerks-- be ready to help in the office?
18868And you,Mahmud said, turning to Zaki,"you are a Jaalin, are you not?"
18868And your mother, do they know anything of her?
18868Are the Dervishes all gone?
18868Are there any Dervishes about?
18868Are we going to put on those Dervish dresses at once, master? 18868 Are you hurt, Zaki?"
18868Are you hurt, master?
18868As his eyes fell upon me, he said,''When are you going to begin?'' 18868 But I suppose he is really heir to it?"
18868But I suppose he might be a doctor, a clergyman, or a lawyer?
18868But I thought that they could not break in there?
18868But the white officer-- what became of him?
18868But there was no harm in that, Mother?
18868But what are you going to do, Gregory?
18868But what are you masquerading for, in this dress; and where have you come from?
18868But why did n''t you go straight back, instead of coming down here?
18868But will they not kill him?
18868By the way, have you heard that Mahmud is captured? 18868 Can I speak to you for a few minutes, sir?"
18868Can you give me references?
18868Can you take me to the place?
18868Can you use a pistol?
18868Could we not go into the camp, my lord?
18868Did he talk Arabic well?
18868Did you hear of any other things being hidden?
18868Did you know the father?
18868Do we take everything with us?
18868Do you give me your promise that you will no more fight against us?
18868Do you know anything about it?
18868Do you know if any remains of that expedition are still in existence?
18868Do you know when your father left England?
18868Do you know whether Mahmud''s army is in Metemmeh, or outside the town?
18868Do you know whether any booty was hidden away, before the English came?
18868Do you remember how long he arrived before the steamer started?
18868Do you speak our tongue?
18868Do you think you are fit to ride?
18868Does he dress as a native?
18868Had they any cannon with them?
18868Has a party of infidels passed along here?
18868Have I not sworn, Fatma,he said,"that I would slay every unbeliever who falls into my hands?
18868Have you a written despatch?
18868Have you been in this beastly country long?
18868Have you come down from the front?
18868Have you everything ready, Hilliard?
18868How about your baggage?
18868How can that be?
18868How do you do it?
18868How far do you think we are from the river now? 18868 How long do you think we shall be, on the way?"
18868How long have you been here?
18868How long is it since you lost her?
18868How many more miles do you think we have to go, Zaki?
18868How many were there of them?
18868How much more is there left?
18868How much water have you got in the bags?
18868I hope you have quite shaken off the fever?
18868I suppose most of the Arab tribes in the Soudan speak a dialect very much like the Baggara?
18868I suppose you have no idea how long you will be away?
18868I suppose you smoke?
18868I suppose you think that the Dervishes mean fighting?
18868Is it difficult to find the way?
18868Is it easy for anyone who has been well educated, and who is a gentleman, to get employment there? 18868 Is it really you, Hilliard?"
18868Is it you, Zaki?
18868Is that all your kit?
18868Is that you, my lord?
18868Is there any chance of getting taken up to Merawi? 18868 Is there any great force at Abu Hamed?"
18868Is there any news?
18868Is there anything I can do for my lord?
18868Is there anything else that you can think of?
18868Is there anything to be done about it, sir?
18868Is your message of a private character?
18868Leslie,he shouted in English,"will you kindly call off your soldiers?
18868Mahmud would do that, I am sure,one of them said,"if he had but his will; but how could we march without provisions?
18868Many more?
18868May I ask how that is?
18868May I ask who you are, sir?
18868May I ask why you put the question, Hilliard? 18868 May I ask, General, what is to be done with the women?"
18868May I ask, to begin with, how it is that the advertisement has, for so many years, remained unanswered?
18868May I speak with my master?
18868My dear Aunts,he said,"what in the world am I to do?
18868No one else, here, would know more about it than you do?
18868Now, do you ride? 18868 Now, may I ask how you are situated, with regard to money?
18868Now, sir, will you deliver your message to me?
18868Shall I take my servant with me, sir?
18868Shall we take the three months''pay and remain here, or shall we go back to England?
18868She had a pension, had n''t she?
18868So you say the Sirdar blew you up? 18868 That is to say, water will be found nearly every day?"
18868The Baggara are mostly mounted, are they not?
18868The question is, what should I do here? 18868 Then he escaped?"
18868Then interest has nothing to do with it?
18868Then we are going among the Dervishes, again?
18868Then will you come in?
18868Then you do not intend to remain in the Egyptian Army?
18868Then you will not pursue, sir?
18868There is no fear of their straying, I suppose, Zaki?
18868To what tribe do you belong?
18868To work on the railway, or in the transport?
18868Well, will you sit down, Mr. Hilliard,the General said,"and give us a full account?
18868What are they going to do?
18868What can we do? 18868 What did you pay for the shovel, Zaki?"
18868What do you make them out to be, Zaki? 18868 What do you think, Annie?"
18868What do you think, yourself?
18868What happened then?
18868What is it, Gregory?
18868What is that, Zaki?
18868What is to be done now?'' 18868 What is your name?"
18868What say you, Father? 18868 What shall I have to do, master?"
18868What shall we take, master?
18868What will be done with the men, sir?
18868When do we go?
18868When will you be at Abu Hamed, sir?
18868When will you be ready, do you suppose?
18868Where is Fadil and his army, that they thus allowed so small a force to march along, unmolested?
18868Where is he, now?
18868Where should I be most likely to meet the Dervishes first?
18868Which of you is it? 18868 Who can they be?"
18868Why ask questions?
18868Why, what is the matter with you, Zaki?
18868Will it be very hot, Gregory?
18868Will the estates go with the title, Hartley?
18868Will you be away long?
18868Will you call again, in half an hour? 18868 Will you come with me?"
18868Will you kindly report my capture to Colonel Wingate or General Hunter? 18868 Will you swim with us till I can touch the ground, and then leave us?
18868Would you take me, my lord?
18868You are a new arrival, I think, sir?
18868You are satisfied with your horse? 18868 You brought your portmanteau with you, I hope?"
18868You did not hear his name?
18868You did not say whether we were to take the horses, Master; but I suppose you will do so?
18868You do not mind in what capacity you go?
18868You do not speak the Baggara language, I suppose?
18868You have been up at the front before, sir?
18868You have found nothing, my lord?
18868You have got your horse?
18868You have heard what has been said? 18868 You know the country, I suppose?"
18868You quite understand, Mr. Hilliard, that you are taking your life in your hands? 18868 You speak Arabic, and the tongue of the Negro blacks, almost as well as English?"
18868You speak both Arabic and the Negro dialect perfectly, I am told?
18868You want to go up to the Soudan?
18868You want to go up?
18868You were engaged in the city during the siege, were you not?
18868You will report well of us, I hope, to the great English commander?
18868Your father fell with Hicks Pasha, I am told, and you have joined us with the object of obtaining news as to the manner in which he met his death?
18868''May I touch him?''
18868''Why should you risk bringing on inflammation, merely for the sake of getting about a few days earlier?''
18868A look of surprise came over the merchant''s face, and he said:"Have you called on your own account?"
18868Abu told me that his wife, of whom he was very fond, was suffering very great pain from a tooth-- could I cure her?
18868And in the second, how you have learned it?"
18868And secondly, which shall we like best?
18868And that there is no possibility, whatever, of our doing anything for you, if you get into trouble?"
18868Are there any among the bravest of the tribes who would have done the same?"
18868Besides, has not Mudil saved my life, and so become my brother?''
18868Besides, you have been on Hunter''s staff, have you not?"
18868Can I take him away at once?"
18868Can he speak English?"
18868Can not you let him go, too?"
18868Can you borrow a shovel, or something of that sort, from one of the natives here?
18868Can you tell me that?"
18868Can you tell me the address of my aunts?
18868Can you, Mudil?''
18868Do you decide to go on foot, or mounted?"
18868Do you know the country between this and Metemmeh?"
18868Do you know what their losses have been?"
18868Do you think that I had better go mounted, or on foot?"
18868Do you think that they would have remained so long in the town, if they had learned that there are but two hundred of us, and one steamer?
18868Do you think there is any fear of the Dervishes following our tracks?"
18868Do you want to draw any money?"
18868First, which would be best for us?
18868Had he been concealed, for months, in the hut of a friendly tribesman?
18868Had he been enslaved, and was he still lingering on, in a wretched existence?
18868Had he been killed, in trying to make his way down?
18868Had he made off in disguise, only to be murdered by wandering bands?
18868Have I your permission to ride forward, and call upon them to surrender?"
18868Have you news of Mahmud?"
18868Have you read your father''s diary, yet?"
18868He may have fallen before they surrendered-- who can say?
18868Hilliard?"
18868Hilliard?"
18868Hilliard?"
18868How can I, a poor man, know how to do such things?
18868How did you find them?"
18868How far is it from the well to El Obeid?''
18868How is it that no one knows a man who rides with a slave?''
18868How long is it since you left?"
18868How long will you be?"
18868How many miles are we above its junction with the White Nile?"
18868How would you sell it?"
18868How, then, can I spare even one who has saved your life?"
18868I fully share his feelings; for could I not, with my cavalry, sweep them before me into the river, even though no footmen came with me?
18868I have pleased myself, have n''t I?
18868I suppose General Hunter has told you how I proposed utilizing your services?"
18868I suppose nothing more is known about it?"
18868I suppose you have a horse?"
18868I suppose you managed to give them the slip, somehow?"
18868I suppose you threw up your appointment, as soon as you discovered that Geoffrey died, years ago, and that you had come into the title?"
18868I suppose your horses are on board?"
18868If Mahmud and the great emirs are all content to wait, why should we be impatient?"
18868If so, what had become of him, all these years?
18868If we are not to fight, why were we sent here?
18868In the first place, what you have learned?
18868Is it indiscreet to ask you if you know anything about your father''s family?"
18868Is it not our duty to help one another?
18868Is it wonderful that they should come to you and be faithful?"
18868Is there any chance of it?"
18868Is there anything more for you to do to him?''
18868It is agreed, then, that if I go on this expedition, you will accompany me?"
18868May I ask a favour?
18868May I ask if your father bore the same Christian names?"
18868May your servant ask why you put these questions?"
18868Murray?"
18868Must we always be fighting?
18868Must we always be ignorant?
18868None will be spared on either side-- why should this man be spared?
18868Now, where were you when this business took place?"
18868Of course, you have your pass?"
18868Of course, you will put on Dervish robes and badges?"
18868Pearson?"
18868People might say,''Who is this man?
18868Presently Gregory caught the words:"How is it that this young fellow calls himself Bimbashi, which, I believe, means major?"
18868Shall I bring them on board?"
18868The Emirs say to Mahmud that you ought to be killed; their followers are well- nigh starving-- why should an infidel prisoner be eating?
18868The Staffordshire regiment went down, directly the place was taken, did they not?"
18868The leader said,"Where are my friends going and why do they halt?"
18868This is your first experience in soldiering, I suppose?"
18868Was it merely some Dervish scouts, who had come in contact with our pickets, or was it an attacking force?
18868Well, have you heard anything about a move?"
18868Were you to go to England, with the child, what chance would you have of obtaining employment there, without friends or references?
18868What can I do for you?"
18868What did it matter, so that he could save her life?
18868What do you say to my coming and living with you, when he has gone?
18868What do you think of it?"
18868What follower of the Prophet could do more?
18868What food have we got?"
18868What had he been doing, since?
18868What is a walk of a few miles?
18868What is your name?"
18868What news have you?"
18868When do you wish me to sail?
18868Whence do you come?''
18868Where did you spring from?
18868Where does he come from?
18868Which way do you think we had better turn?"
18868Why did not your mother send his letter to us?"
18868Why should we come thus far from Omdurman, if we are to go no farther?"
18868Will the colour last?"
18868Will you bring me the three men you speak of?
18868Will you kindly tell me what I had better do?"
18868Will you kindly tell me what I should have to do?"
18868Will you sit down on that box?
18868Will you swear to me that, if you are questioned, you will say you know nothing of my flight?''
18868Will you tell Mr. Hilliard that I authorize him to call himself Bimbashi?
18868Will you want this chest carried?''
18868Would the Egyptian horsemen stand firm, or would they give way to panic?
18868Would the present attack be repulsed in time for the position to be changed, to meet the coming storm?
18868You are starting in three days, are you not?
18868You are surely not going to be foolish enough to chuck it, with the idea of returning to England, and taking anything that may turn up?"
18868You can never have ridden, much less walked, across the desert from Omdurman?"
18868You do n''t know any more about his father than you have told me?"
18868You have got some iodine from the doctor, have you not?"
18868You have heard what this man says; what do you think?''
18868You have not been appointed to any particular battalion, have you?"
18868You have not brought a servant up with you, I suppose?"
18868You told me you had no remembrance of him?"
18868You would not fight for the Mahdi?''
18868Your followers have surrendered?"
21719A good plan, Jack,said Armstrong,"but what if it should come cloudy and blot out the stars?"
21719Ah, who indeed? 21719 Ai n''t it good of''em?"
21719Ai n''t it snug? 21719 An''_ he_ does n''t think much of himself, does he?"
21719An''what for no?
21719An''you promise to stick to it?
21719And do you wish to go to Egypt?
21719And is he married to that dear girl you wrote about?
21719And was accepted?
21719And what if I refuse to undress?
21719And you know nothing about the others?
21719And you would scorn to serve under the French flag, or the Turkish flag, or the Black flag, or any flag but the Union Jack, would n''t you?
21719And your subjects, the Arabs-- are they obedient and loyal?
21719Any luggage, ma''am?
21719Are all that come here Blue Lights?
21719Are the beds here pretty good?
21719Are they really as wild and dangerous as they get credit for?
21719Are ye sure o''that, mate?
21719Are you all ready, Brown?
21719Are you an officer?
21719Are you married?
21719Are you officer?
21719Are you sure of this, friend?
21719Are you very bad, corporal?
21719Ask him,he said at once to the interpreter,"where are the Christian dogs who were captured with him?"
21719At the Institute?
21719Ay, that I would; did n''t I teach him every letter myself? 21719 Ay-- wot have you got to find fault wi''Miss Robinson?"
21719Ay; do n''t you wish you were me?
21719Bad is it?
21719Bread an''cheese, sir? 21719 But am I to go in this costume, or rather in this half- naked state?"
21719But are they engaged?
21719But do you mean to tell me that the load you''ve bin carryin''is not too heavy for you?
21719But do you really mean that all that groaning-- which I confess to have been surprised at-- was mere pretence?
21719But how did you know we were here at all?
21719But tell me,he added,"have you heard anything of our unfortunate comrades since we parted?"
21719But what are we to do?
21719But where do you get these supplies from?
21719But why encourage hope?
21719But why_ pretend_ to be fond of the Arabs?
21719But you seem to have caught a cold-- eh? 21719 Can ye give me a cup o''tea?"
21719Can you, old man? 21719 Comes like light in a dark place, do n''t it, comrade?"
21719D''ee think we''re in for a brush to- night, lad?
21719D''you feel better now, my poor fellow?
21719Dare you refuse?
21719Did I not leave you behind me at Portsmouth?
21719Did I understand correctly that a troop- ship has just arrived?
21719Did n''t I tell you, Sam, that you''d like it better than the native grog- shops?
21719Did you hear me?
21719Do n''t it stand to reason that the enemy must be between us an''Suakim? 21719 Do n''t they look weather- beaten?"
21719Do n''t ye see the ships?
21719Do n''t you believe that Sergeant Hardy is a good soldier?
21719Do n''t you know,answered Marion, looking down, and a little confused,"that men can speak with their eyes as well as their lips?
21719Do n''t you think he may be doing that to blind his followers as to his friendship?
21719Do n''t you think that_ tongue_ is also essential?
21719Do the nights vary much?
21719Do you not know,resumed the Mahdi, turning again to Miles with a fierce expression,"that I have power to take your life?"
21719Do you really mean, my dear fellow, that the monsters have been torturing you in this way?
21719Do''ee speak from personal experience, Jack?
21719Does the Mahdi accompany us?
21719Driven to what?
21719For nothin''?
21719Four- wheeler, ma''am?
21719From your wife, corporal?
21719Got any wittles here?
21719Have you any children?
21719Have you anything to complain of?
21719Have you ever been in Portsmouth before?
21719Have you heard the n- news?
21719Have you joined them, Willie?
21719Have you many mines about?
21719Have you seen or heard anything of Stevenson?
21719Hooroo, Armstrong, where away now?
21719How d''ee know that, Flynn?
21719How did you guess it then?
21719How did you know that I''ve been bathing?
21719How do I know anything I''m towld but by belaivin''it?
21719How do you know she is good, mother?
21719How old are you?
21719I do n''t mean` is that all the fortune?'' 21719 I saw you in the lobby of the Institute this morning, did I not?"
21719I say, Fred Thorley, ai n''t it bang up?
21719I suppose you mean prisoners?
21719I suppose you mean that he is only a private, but what then? 21719 I''ve bin occupied wi''that question too-- namely, how thin may a man git widout losin''the power to howld up his clo''es?"
21719Is it wrong to make such an admission to one''s own mother, when it is true?
21719Is that the` Soldiers Friend?''
21719Is that you again? 21719 Is that you, Simkin, that''s breathin''like a grampus?"
21719Is the cellar deep?
21719Is the soup ready, Moses?
21719Is this all?
21719Know it? 21719 Know you not,"he continued,"that I have the power to torture you to death?"
21719Marion, dear, will you part with your rose- bud to a wounded soldier?
21719May I follow you, madam?
21719Miss Robinson, then?
21719Mr Miles,said the missionary, pausing a moment to wipe his brow in the midst of his labours,"will you fetch the butter now?"
21719No, but really, Jack, what is it you''re laughing at?
21719No; what''s up?
21719Noo, serjeant, what div ye want me to pit doon?
21719Now do n''t this feel homelike?
21719Now tell me,said the little woman, after calming the baby and putting it in a crib;"have you brought Miles Milton home all safe?"
21719Now, then, young fellow,said the guardian of the night;"d''you think you can take care of yourself?"
21719Or some lobscouse?
21719Osman again?
21719Please, ma''am, can I''ave some coffee?
21719Rather cold for bathin'', ai n''t it, sir?
21719Recognise it?
21719Shall I assist you?
21719Shall I fetch you some soup?
21719Shall I read the Bible to you, lad?
21719She is not ill, is she?
21719Sing Number 68,` Shall we gather at the river?'' 21719 Tell me, sir,"said Miles, rousing himself,"is-- is your daughter safe?"
21719Tell me-- how many?
21719That is strange news rather than bad, is it not?
21719That was the right thing to do, an''I suppose they enjoyed theirselves?
21719Then the_ Welcome_ is well patronised, I suppose?
21719Vy, you ai n''t agoin''to pay for_ me_, are you?
21719W''y do n''t you say what you mean, then, Willum, instead o''pitchin''into a poor chap as makes no pretence to be a purfessor? 21719 Weel, serjint, hoo are ye the day?"
21719Well, does the thought of your respective wives an''children prevent your shooting or sticking each other when you get the chance?
21719Well, then, Gaspard, will you sing me a song? 21719 Well, well, who''d ha''thowt it would ever come to this?"
21719Well, what shall it be?
21719Well, you remember Hardy''s will, which you put into my hands a few days ago?
21719Well, you see, madam, I suppose it''s because they see that we soldiers and sailors likes it, an''it does a power o''good-- don''t you think?
21719Well, you see,continued his friend,"as the affair was arranged in heaven, according to general belief, what was I that I should resist?
21719Well, young man, an''did n''t I_ say_ the` Billy Rough''un''? 21719 What brought you here?"
21719What brought_ you_ here?
21719What d''ee call_ that_?
21719What d''ee mean by that, you houtrageous willain?
21719What d''ee think that queer cratur Flynn is doin''doon below?
21719What for did ye that?
21719What good would it do to send him to Ireland?
21719What hae ye got there, sergeant?
21719What if the Arabs should change their course and fall in with us again?
21719What if we ca n''t find it?
21719What is it, Flynn?
21719What is it, then?
21719What is it?
21719What part of the sky did you drop from? 21719 What sort o''hole was that?"
21719What sort of an Institute is that?
21719What think ye now, Miles?
21719What would be the use o''comin''here if we did n''t do that? 21719 What you see?"
21719What''ll you drink?
21719What''s that? 21719 What''s the use of my going?"
21719What''s the use,one of them asked,"of pullin''a long face over what you ca n''t change?
21719What''s to be done?
21719What_ is_ the use of that curious machine?
21719Where did you spend the night?
21719Where is he?
21719Where is that regiment going?
21719Where to, ma''am?
21719Where to?
21719Which one is that?
21719Who are these?
21719Who is he?
21719Who is that, Miles?
21719Who is that?
21719Who is you, an''where you come fro?
21719Who told you I was bad?
21719Who will you trust?
21719Why d''you think so?
21719Why did n''t they go to the work''us?
21719Why do n''t you say that_ drink_ is the cause of it-- straight out, like a man?
21719Why do n''t you say` I told you so?''
21719Why, Mac, ye would n''t have me go_ inside_ of a horse, would ye?
21719Why, what on earth do you mean?
21719Why, what''s the matter with you, Jack?
21719Why?
21719Will you come with me up town?
21719Will you tell me how many men you have in Suakim?
21719Wo n''t it?
21719Wo n''t some other relation look after her, Flynn?
21719Wot captin''s that?
21719Wot on airth''s all the noise about in that there corner?
21719Would you kill a man that was smiling at you?
21719Yes, Gaspard,was the eager reply,"can I do anything for you?"
21719Yes, what do it recall, lad?
21719Yes; what then? 21719 You do n''t mean that?"
21719You do n''t mean that?
21719You do n''t say so?
21719You have got an unfinished letter, it seems?
21719You have not recognised him yet, I suppose?
21719You pride yourself on being a true- blue British tar, do n''t you?
21719Young fellows are often in that state after joining, ai n''t they?
21719''Cause why?
21719Am I dreaming?"
21719An''p''r''aps you''ve bin a good deal under hatches since you come a- boord?"
21719And is not every gentleman a blackguard who behaves as such?"
21719And it swarms with foes, but what then?
21719And now, Gaspard, what''s the news from England?
21719And now, dear boy, are you prepared for bad news?"
21719And the pretty daughter, what of her?"
21719And was not love the highest duty?
21719And will you do me a favour?
21719Are ye leevin?"
21719Are you married?"
21719As for pain-- what was that to him?
21719But did onybody iver hear o''a reg''ment gaun''oot to the wars an''comin''back jist as it went?
21719But first, is there_ nothing_ left?
21719But how is it that you, who seem to be free, do not use your opportunity to escape?
21719But what brings you_ here_, lad?
21719But what could I do?
21719But what was you askin''about news bein''true?
21719But where did you run off to?"
21719But who among civilians,( save the informed), can imagine a barrack- room teapot?
21719But, I say, what''s been the matter with Molloy?
21719But, I say, what''s come o''the lobsters?
21719But, I say,"continued Moses, while a look of anxiety came over his innocent face,"what can have become of our other comrades?"
21719But, darling, is it not foolish in you to think so much about Miles?"
21719But, father, are you sure that_ you_ are not hurt?"
21719By the way, do you feel well enough to go to the lecture to- night?
21719Can I direct you?"
21719Can you come to- morrow morning?"
21719Can you wonder that I grasped the treasure when within my reach?"
21719Cause why?
21719Could I?"
21719D''ee think I''m any taller?"
21719D''you know we run a chance of being late?
21719D''you see?"
21719D''you think I''ll ever believe it?
21719D''you think that can be true?"
21719Dead and buried in the sea?
21719Did n''t I say he would be sorry?
21719Did n''t I tell his father so?
21719Did n''t he insist on making his down- strokes crooked?
21719Did you hear of the case that occurred just two days ago?
21719Do n''t ye see''i m?
21719Do n''t you see?"
21719Do the creditors take everything?"
21719Do you t''ink dey will salute, and say,` Go in peace,''to de runner of de Mahdi when he is running away with his best horse?"
21719Emmy,"interrupted the soldier reproachfully,"do you think I require to be_ kept in remembrance_ of that name?
21719Finding no outlet there it rushes violently round the gulf--""Gits angry, no doubt, an''that''s what makes it hot?"
21719Have I not heard of a Miss Weston, too, in connection with a work of some sort among sailors?"
21719Have n''t ye got eyes, Moses?"
21719Have not most of the great deeds of earth, been accomplished in the face of what seemed insurmountable difficulties?
21719Have some beans and oil?"
21719Have they been working you too hard, Jack?"
21719Have you been sitting there since I left you?"
21719Have you been wounded?"
21719Have you_ all_ escaped?
21719His heart sank as he thought of the word, for the Something within him became suddenly active, and whispered,"How about your duty to parents?
21719How am I to know that you are not shamming friendship now?"
21719How can you say you was n''t tired when you had fallen down only five minutes before, an''groaned heavily when you rose, and your legs trembled so?
21719How comes it, then, that a man-- excuse me--`three sheets in the wind,''can gain admittance?"
21719How could it be otherwise with sailors to cheer and soldiers to back them up?
21719How d''ee s''pose the Portsmuth Institute could git along widout_ her_?
21719How have they bin sarvin''you out since I last saw ye?"
21719How were you led to suspect that he had come to Portsmouth?"
21719I suppose you have heard what a grand occasion our opening day was?"
21719I''ve often thought of you since, and of our first evening together in the-- the-- what was its name?"
21719If he had done so, would I have delayed one minute in letting you know?"
21719If this is praiseworthy in the sergeant, why should the talk of duty an''service an''honour to God be hypocrisy in the Christian?
21719Is it really yourself?
21719Is it true that a great many men of your regiment were killed and wounded at the battle fought by General McNeill?"
21719Is it worthy of an intelligent man?
21719Is not this unmanly-- childish-- humbug?
21719Is that one in your hand?"
21719Is your husband among them?"
21719It ai n''t my fault if they become trustful, is it?"
21719It was a generous but desperate act, for what could be expected of a double- weighted horse in such a region and with such a race before it?
21719It''s true I burned''em sometimes a bit, but they''d hardly put a fellow in jail for that-- would they?
21719John Miles, is that you?
21719John, is it?"
21719Marion-- how_ could_ you?"
21719May I accompany you to this jetty to see the troops arrive, and this coffee business that you speak of?"
21719May I ask what you would have me do?"
21719May I speak to him?"
21719May I venture to hope that you are friendly towards me?"
21719Miles was somewhat interested in this, and asked,"How''s that?"
21719Nae frien''s ava?"
21719Need we say that this was Mrs Flynn?
21719Now, as to advice: do you really want it?"
21719Now, have you got it down?"
21719Now, wo n''t it mend matters that I''ve got a dear girl over the sea to think about, and to say` God bless her, body and soul?''"
21719Shall I give you both just now, or shall I wait?"
21719Shall I go an''see?"
21719Shall I''elp you?"
21719Shall we deny to those men what we claim for ourselves-- love of hearth and home, of country, of freedom?
21719Should he return?
21719So you''ll help me?"
21719So, you see, you have only got Craving to fight, and that''s encouraging, ai n''t it?"
21719Talkin''o''comfort, what d''ee think has bin comfortin''me in a most wonderful way?
21719Terence-- Terence Flynn, do n''t ye recognise yer owld mother?
21719That''s how the place takes so well, d''ee see?"
21719That''s patronisin'', ai n''t it?
21719That''s what I call circumwentin'', d''ee see?"
21719The wife o''the reverend gentleman as came out with us in the troop- ship?"
21719Then there''s the-- But what''s your hurry?"
21719To this Miles replied by a whistle of surprise, and then said,"Is that all?"
21719W''ich way d''ee mean it?"
21719Wan o''them was-- what is the smallest amount o''skin an''bone that''s capable of howldin''a thankful spirit?"
21719Was it a long way hout of town as you was bathin''this forenoon, now?"
21719Was there a great turn- out o''men?"
21719What are you rubbing your eyes for?"
21719What can the line be I see in the distance over there?
21719What d''ee propose to try?
21719What d''you think of McNeill''s brave defence being represented in the papers as a disaster?"
21719What dishonour can exceed that of being leagued with the oppressor against the oppressed?
21719What do you think, Mr Hardy?"
21719What good would it do to kill half- a- dozen Arabs to accompany you into the next world?
21719What have I to offer her except my worthless self?"
21719What have you to tell?"
21719What is his name?"
21719What makes you cough and clear your throat so?"
21719What mischief have''ee bin up to?"
21719What more could we want?"
21719What news?"
21719What should he do?
21719What territorial gain can make up for these lost lives-- the flower of the manhood of both parties?"
21719What then?"
21719What''ll you take to drink, mate?"
21719Where away now?"
21719Where shall I go to inquire?
21719Who told you?"
21719Why did you not jump on its back and fly?"
21719Why, do n''t you know that she''s` The Soldiers''Friend''?"
21719Why, it was there,( did I ever tell you?)
21719Why, mate, where got ye all that larnin''?"
21719Why, mate-- But what''s your name?
21719Why, what ever is_ that_?"
21719Why?"
21719Will you accept this deliverance, my friend?"
21719Will you go in for it, and promise to do as I bid you?"
21719Will you promise?"
21719Would she recognise his handwriting?
21719You are quite sure, I suppose, that it was the_ Orontes_ in which your husband said he was coming?"
21719You remember the Institoot?
21719You remember the broad track, not half a mile off from where we now sit?"
21719You wo n''t object to change hats wi''me?"
21719You''re under it, ai n''t you?
21719_ Ai n''t_ you Miles?"
21719_ He_ was a Blue Light, was n''t he?"
21719_ me_ go to a temperance meetin''?"
21719a cheer?"
21719ai n''t it nice?"
21719and was n''t my heart almost broken over his square O''s?"
21719are ye mad?"
21719but he_ is_ a great jainius that Frenchman as tied the two says togither-- Lips-- Lisps-- what is it they calls him?
21719but` is that all you have to say?''"
21719cried Moses Pyne;"have the ladies been aboard?"
21719exclaimed Miles, as the hearty tar wrung his hand,"who''d have expected to see_ you_ here?"
21719gasped Marion, grasping his hand and looking furtively round,"is it possible?
21719go down on my knees here before all them Arabs?
21719have they got hold o''Rattling Bill?"
21719have_ you_ joined the Blue Lights?"
21719he said remonstratively,"who''d ever ha''thowt that I''d come to jerk about like that?"
21719is it angered ye are at gittin''the worst o''the argiment?"
21719made you cook o''the mess?"
21719mother, how can you ask me?
21719old man, how many heads are you goin''to give us in that there sermon?"
21719retorted that pertinacious Something;"is not every private a gentleman who acts like one?
21719still here?
21719that your sweetheart?"
21719the scoundrel that''s bin the cause o''all this kick- up?"
21719thin, ye''ve got Irish whisky, have n''t ye?"
21719what''ll she do now wid him gone an''me away at the wars?"
21719what_ shall_ I do?"
21719where-- where shall I drive to?"
21719wo n''t you stop and have a cup of coffee with me?"
21136A good many boats have them, have n''t they?
21136Ah, Daireh, how do you do?
21136Alive?
21136Am I one of these extra superfines?
21136Am I that, sir? 21136 And Gordon?"
21136And am I to have you sucking me like a leech all my life?
21136And are you going after him really?
21136And did Sir Charles Napier fight them in square, sir?
21136And did no one see him after that?
21136And did you congratulate him?
21136And do you think that I shall get one?
21136And does it say what for?
21136And for why not?
21136And have you not noticed now, when folks laugh at an Irishman, he is mostly quite right if they had the understanding? 21136 And how about Richardson, your rear rank man, who got the same bullet which spoilt your bottle into his body, and died in pain that evening?
21136And how is your prisoner getting on? 21136 And is that a fact now?"
21136And is that so? 21136 And now we have recovered the will, uncle, how are we to send it to my mother?"
21136And pick another to go with him, will you, sergeant? 21136 And the unaccountable disappearance of this will of uncle Richard''s, Kavanagh, has it put you in a very big hole?"
21136And what are your wounds, Kavanagh?
21136And what became of the varmint?
21136And what is the camp for? 21136 And what will we want with reinforcements?"
21136And when do you start?
21136And when will we be after attacking Matammeh?
21136And where did you run your Egyptian clerk to earth?
21136And will ye plaze to get up?
21136And would ye be after hanging a poor boy who never harmed ye in all his life?
21136And you found your uncle who had turned wild man?
21136And you have been to Egypt? 21136 And you heard where he was going?"
21136And you need no interpreter? 21136 Any idiot knows that; but how do you make them into a pudding?
21136Are these the right wills?
21136Are they such cowards?
21136Are you Strachan of the Blankshire?
21136Are you growling or singing, Tarrant?
21136Bad news from home?
21136Burke, that was your name, mother; this uncle was your brother then?
21136But I say,he added, as he looked in the other''s face,"is not your name Howard?"
21136But do you suppose that the captain would have taken all this trouble without good information?
21136But how shall we find this dog?
21136But now, how about this silver watch?
21136But suppose this fellow has not got the will, or has destroyed it, or has hidden it somewhere, and wo n''t tell?
21136But they showed fight, and he took the place by storm, did he not, sir?
21136But what is the row with your hand, Edwards? 21136 But what things do you allude to?"
21136But when did you hear this?
21136But you wo n''t tell, doctor?
21136But your other friend, Forsyth, who went out to Egypt to find the man who was supposed to have the will-- has nothing been heard from him?
21136Can I be of any use?
21136Can the English dragoons or hussars do anything like that?
21136Cavalry, I suppose; Lancers, Dragoons, or Hussars?
21136Come out, you spalpeen, and drop that gun, will ye?
21136Could I not have shot you from behind the rock?
21136D''ye suppose I''listed as a soldier or a barge horse?
21136Daireh, the money- lender, against whom I have had so many complaints, but who always manages to have the law on his side?
21136Did I not take part in the defence when the Mahdi-- may his grave be defiled!--was driven from them with slaughter?
21136Did n''t you hear? 21136 Do I look altered?"
21136Do n''t you know me?
21136Do n''t you remember Forsyth at Harton-- your fag?
21136Do they remind you of Ireland, too?
21136Do you believe that it rains sometimes in the Soudan, now?
21136Do you know the Sheikh Burrachee?
21136Do you know whether a man of his race, much younger, has joined him lately?
21136Do you know, Green, you have done a very fine thing?
21136Do you mind my speaking to you in English?
21136Do you think they will fight?
21136Do you think they will fight?
21136Do you think we shall get on to- night, sir?
21136Done what?
21136Gladly; but would not that be difficult?
21136Gordon''s four steamers arrived while you were at Abu Kru, the camp at Gubat, I think?
21136Gubbins, sir,said the sergeant;"is he not here?
21136Haroun, how much?
21136Harry,he said, using the English accent for the name, however,"you remember me?"
21136Has he been telling your fortune?
21136Has the cold wind made you hungry, or has the effort to understand that chorus in Euripides exhausted you?
21136Have a pipe out of my baccy- box, just to show there''s no malice?
21136Have we relieved the place after all, then?
21136Have you been to Berber lately? 21136 Have you had it cauterised?
21136Here, you chaps,was the cry which assailed them when they made their appearance,"can either of you make a plum- pudding?"
21136How do I know,he said,"that you will not kill me when I am completely disarmed?"
21136How is your_ fons ilium_, Green?
21136How was it, umpire?
21136How was it? 21136 How was that?"
21136I ask your pardon, sir,said a sergeant to Strachan, as they tramped through the sand,"but do you happen to know what we are going to fight about?
21136I fancy? 21136 I have drawn up a rough copy of what I want put into legal terms; it is very short and simple; we can get it done to- day, can we not?"
21136I hope not,replied Fitzgerald;"I want something to eat, do n''t you?
21136I returned from the land of exile to visit my home, hoping to share my hard- earned gains with my own people, when what did I find? 21136 I say, Gubbins,"said Davis,"we fought fairly well to- day I reckon; but do you think we should have stood against such a fire as that?"
21136I say, do you remember Baum major?
21136I say, sergeant, what am I to do with this campbel now?
21136I wish we could go like this all the way, Hassib,he said to the Nubian sitting by him;"we should soon get home then, eh?"
21136I wonder whether those Indian fellows fought as hard as these Arabs?
21136I, sir?
21136Is El Obeid in the Mahdi''s hands, then?
21136Is Suakim an island?
21136Is he at all-- a little-- that is, a trifle cracked, father?
21136Is he not a foreigner to the Soudan?
21136Is his regiment in the Soudan?
21136Is it far?
21136Is it not time that you had your jelly and glass of port wine?
21136Is not Edwards in your battalion?
21136Is that your photograph?
21136Is there a human being here who is not a jabbering idiot?
21136It sounds pretty right,said the first speaker, doubtfully;"but how do you know?
21136It sounds rather like a sweeping assertion that, does n''t it?
21136It''s easy to laugh at a chap,spluttered Gubbins,"but this stuff tastes awful; and however shall I clean myself for inspection?"
21136Lately?
21136Madrepore-- why, that is a sort of coral-- isn''t it?
21136Mardi is the French for Tuesday, is it not, sir?
21136Matammeh has not been carried?
21136May I go back to look for Strachan, sir, if you please?
21136May n''t I give them one back, sir?
21136Meaning the camels?
21136My eye, you have had a good bout, mate;one said to him,"but where is the other fellow?"
21136My tutor wants to see me? 21136 No, it seems like fighting against lightning and thunderbolts, do n''t it?"
21136Now there is a chance for you, Macintosh,said the captain;"above that bush, do you see?
21136Oh, it is for the hair, then,observed Harry;"and what makes it look all frothy like that?"
21136Only our company, corporal?
21136Or are you only chaffing? 21136 Pretty nearly over, you think it, do you?"
21136Shall we go on to Tokar to- night, do you think?
21136Shall we shoot the cataract to- night?
21136So you want me to be knocked on the head, do you, you young villain?
21136Stebbings, is that you?
21136That is it, sir? 21136 That was a real will, was it?"
21136The Johnny who understands him wo n''t do nothing; may I lick him?
21136Then you are not a hero worshipper, Ward?
21136Then you do not think they are genuine in their welcome, sir?
21136Was he badly treated by Government? 21136 Was he hit, sir?"
21136We are not to make back to Gubat, then?
21136We''ve got naither the medal nor the bar nor Khartoum yet, d''ye ken?
21136Well, Charley, did you eat them all yesterday?
21136Well, Strachan,he said,"how do you like this work?
21136Well, Strachan,said Reece, coming up,"are you ready to pilot us to- night?"
21136Well, Tarrant,said Kavanagh, when they had been plodding on for some two hours in dead silence,"have you not got a growl for us?"
21136Well, but I believe it is easier through the Militia than direct into Sandhurst, is it not? 21136 Well, has the colonel given you leave to go?"
21136Well, have you got the medal for alcaics?
21136Well, now I have time to ask, how on earth did you come to choose this desert for a steeple- chase course, and our little zereba for a goal?
21136Well, old fellow, and how did you sleep?
21136Well, sir, might I ask to go too? 21136 Well, the materials have just come; how do you work them up?"
21136Well?
21136Were you not wounded at Tamai last spring?
21136What are they going to do with you then?
21136What d''ye come across my bows for, then?
21136What do you ask?
21136What do you mean?
21136What do you think of your chance?
21136What have I to do but to submit? 21136 What is it?"
21136What made you come to Ireland, then? 21136 What makes you say that?"
21136What sort of soldiers do these Egyptians make? 21136 What''s the matter?"
21136What''s the use?
21136What''s up?
21136What, Tom Strachan, of the Blankshire?
21136What_ are_ the boys coming to?
21136Where are the wills you stole?
21136Where''s Grady?
21136Where''s Kavanagh?
21136Which shall we believe, Green?
21136Who commands the force, and what is it collected for?
21136Who do you mean?
21136Who is_ they_? 21136 Who saw him last?"
21136Who''s that at the door?
21136Why are you like King Duncan''s blood on Lady Macbeth''s hand, Edwards?
21136Why did you not fire then, Macintosh?
21136Why do n''t he come and take his camel?
21136Why not?
21136Why should I?
21136Why wo n''t they fight now?
21136Why, Grady, what have you been up to?
21136Why, then, was he murdered?
21136Why, what good would it do you to pull me in with you?
21136Why, what have you been using it for, Sullivan?
21136Why, what is the matter, Green; where and how are you hurt?
21136Why?
21136Will it kill him?
21136Will you tell me something, Kavanagh, you that''s a real scholar now-- can a man be two things at the same time?
21136Would it be too great a presumption to ask to see this portentous document?
21136Yes, Gubbins, what then?
21136Yes, he is; do you know him?
21136Yes,replied Kavanagh;"that makes one feel God great and man little, does n''t it?"
21136You are certain it was in the nullah that Mr Strachan killed the Arab who was on the top of you?
21136You did n''t expect this kind of work when you thought, as a boy, how you would like to go into the army, eh?
21136You do not remember me?
21136You do?
21136You speak the words of Sheytan, the father of lies,said the sheikh sternly;"where are the stolen documents?"
21136You think so, my tear young man? 21136 ` What did you see that was curious, Jack?''
21136A detective?
21136A week''s earlier start, a little more energy in some clerk, tailor, bootmaker, shipwright-- who knows?
21136All turned to sand?
21136And a camel rider, would you call him a horse soldier, now?"
21136And all the time he was talking, Harry Forsyth kept thinking,"Where have I seen him?
21136And did you ever undergo the operation, now, Macintosh?"
21136And his own position, was that any better?
21136And how about Strachan?"
21136And how are you, old fellow?
21136And how far in a paper- chase, with the hare to run down and other hounds to compete with?
21136And soon Trinkitat was entirely abandoned, and since no natives lived there( how could they when they had no fresh water?)
21136And that professed friendly sheikh, who had come in with his scratches and told such a plausible tale, was he to be trusted?
21136And what are the pagans fit for but slaves, sons of pigs that they are?
21136And what do you say makes a cataract in the Nile?"
21136And what son of Sheytan is this who has traced them, and had my likeness in his pocket?
21136And where has the family moved to?"
21136And why are the two forts made to defend it instead of filling it up?
21136And why had he sought out his uncle?
21136And why is the gap left?
21136And yours?
21136And, by- the- by, why is the British soldier called"Tommy Atkins?"
21136And_ got_ it?"
21136Are my people there well?"
21136Are not the finest men and the prettiest girls at all Irishmen?
21136Are you not the same?"
21136Are you willing to change them for a stout silver one which will keep as good time, and pay me something for the difference?"
21136As for Gordon, had they not had a message from him?
21136At length he asked--"Is he dead?"
21136But had he not returned home since then?
21136But he got up, and said, with a face of intense anxiety--"` Is the big drum safe?''
21136But how can it be managed?
21136But how do you come to be here, and in that toggery?"
21136But it was the will of the All- Powerful, and what can we avail against fate?"
21136But the city, the fortifications, the minarets, the water, which were so distinct a minute ago, where were they?
21136But what are you going to do now?"
21136But what do brave men feel in the delirium of battle?
21136But what is Dublin?
21136But what operation are ye talking of?
21136But what was that firing in their rear?
21136But what''s the use of telling lies when there''s nothing to be got by it?"
21136But you knew it all before?
21136But, I say, do you call this being under fire?
21136But, I say, this is a bad story for Kavanagh about this will being missing, is it not?
21136Can you not give us till the day after to- morrow?
21136Can you ride?"
21136Did he, then, bear a charmed life?
21136Did you ever make one?"
21136Do n''t you remember that 19th Hussar chap who came up the last halt?
21136Do n''t you remember?"
21136Do you remember Kavanagh?"
21136Do you remember you went in my diabeheeh from Berber home to Alexandria?"
21136Do you want it over that you may begin fighting the Arabs?"
21136Five minutes passed, and there again by the rock Kavanagh was certain he saw a figure move this time, and he, in his turn, called--"Who goes there?"
21136Going to have a marble statty, old man?"
21136Had I had quite a third of it?
21136Had a body of Soudanese lain concealed somewhere?
21136Had sudden blindness fallen upon him?
21136Had they got away?
21136Has Sheytan given them charmed lives?"
21136Has any one seen Dodd?"
21136Hassib was quite confident of the correctness of his information, and how could it be disproved, or, for that matter, why should it be?
21136Have the Burkes best reason to love the English or to hate them?"
21136Have you found that will yet?"
21136Have you got the two hundred?"
21136Have you got your coral still, Green?"
21136Have you heard anything of the missing will, or Harry Forsyth?"
21136Have you never heard me speak of your uncle Ralph?"
21136Have you not come out to me alone, leaving home and friends?
21136Have you not miraculously learned the language of the country to which destiny called you?
21136Have you not traversed the desert without guide, still alone; and though struck down by an unknown hand, have we not met?
21136He has not slipped away yet, has he?"
21136He knew that he had wanted to trace his uncle; but why?
21136He salaamed with a confident air, which expressed,"Who will find me tripping?
21136He was not the sort of man to be taken alive, I think, was he?"
21136His example?
21136How can you be so cruel as to mention the word?"
21136How do you know that it is not the Mahdi himself?"
21136How far across country could you run alone for the mere sake of exercise?
21136How many were now living, and what chance had they of getting clear if they had survived thus far?
21136I do n''t think I bullied you much, did I?
21136I say, by- the- by, have you had your sword sharpened?"
21136I say, who was to know you dressed up like that?
21136I suppose you are growling then-- what about?"
21136If I find the will it will put him square; but what is he to do till then?"
21136If the sun rose at six, why did not the troops march before eight?
21136Is it not curious that the great river of a country that is so bad for the eyes should have cataracts itself in it?
21136Is it you, Hump, old boy, come to do a bit of sentry- go?
21136Is n''t he an illigant bird that?
21136Is she coming?"
21136Is there any truth in the notion of people having presentiments?
21136Is there not sinse in that, now, Kavanagh?"
21136Is your water- bottle full?"
21136It is a weapon which will save your life a hundred times by its accuracy and the rapidity of its fire; and what says the wise man?
21136Meantime, what am I to do with her, I wonder?
21136Mr Burrows had already done that?
21136No, no; surely at Simla, was it not?"
21136Nothing yet; yes, those red ants, as they seem in the far distance, what are they?
21136Now that would sound foolish to many people, but you, who are an Irishman, see the bearings of it, do n''t you now?"
21136Now, have the dromedaries died out, do ye think?
21136Of course, if he succeeds Kavanagh will be right enough, but what is he to do in the meantime?
21136One day he,( Harry, not the poet) was puzzled by some round balls of a frothy appearance, which he could not make out; could it possibly be soap?
21136Only when Grady, whom he credited with more sense, went on the same tack, he said,"Thank you, Paddy; did you ever see a codfish crimped?"
21136Or are they more expensive, and is the War Office that mane it wo n''t afford them, but trates Christians like baggage?"
21136Or had their dead come to life again?
21136Poor, crack- brained visionary, he had gone to his account now, and what need was there to recount his treasonable vagaries?
21136Presently he heard Dobbs cry,"Who goes there?"
21136So kind and thoughtful of him, was it not?
21136Still, we should not get on well without grub or cartridges, should we, sir?"
21136Strachan rose and went to him, asking--"Are you hit, my lad?"
21136Sure they give us green goggles, or we should get the-- what do you call it, Mr Corporal, sir, if you plaze?"
21136The Arab might not improbably be in the same position some day, and would he not then require aid himself?
21136The Bey smoked a little while in silence, and then said--"If these documents are of no use to him, why has he taken them?"
21136Then the question arose-- Who could profit by its disappearance?
21136Then you will not be surprised at this sudden blow having affected him very seriously?"
21136Then, deliberately removing the amber tube which he held in his hand, he said--"And you are my sister''s son?
21136There was no redeeming feature for the most persevering maker of the best of things to turn to Experience gained?
21136There was something round and hard there-- a lozenge?
21136Was he going in the right direction?
21136Was it at the Rag?
21136Was it good?
21136Was it possible?
21136Was there a chance of that?
21136Well, and what are you up to?
21136Well, we wo n''t do that if we can help it, will we, Green?
21136Were not his parents of the same land and race?
21136Were there not a signet- ring, and a paper in a silver case, and jewels of value which you gave me?"
21136Were you not brought when found, to all appearance dead, to the fakir, Abdul Achmet, the one man of all others I would have directed you to?
21136What are you doing here-- in private practice?"
21136What are you shooting at, Smith-- a balloon?
21136What circumstance does his face recall?"
21136What could Fortune possibly have to do with the Soudan War?
21136What earthly use could this old will be, when one of more recent date lay in that tin box?
21136What else?''
21136What is his chance of passing?"
21136What is it made of, doctor?"
21136What is the use of having a tropical sun if you do not make it do some fire- work for you beyond nearly roasting you to death?
21136What motive could he have?
21136What on earth about, I wonder?"
21136What sale could there be for such an article?
21136What sort of hand do you write?"
21136What to do next?
21136What was his life, what was the life of any man, of a million of men, compared with defeat?
21136What was that?
21136What was the matter with him?
21136What was to happen next?
21136What were those black figures moving along the side of yonder dune?
21136What, in eight miles and at night- time?
21136What_ do_ you mean?"
21136When this had been going on a little time Strachan called out--"Where''s Gubbins?"
21136Where are those papers about the Ballyhoonish Estates?
21136Where are you staying?"
21136Where can he have got to?
21136Where could poor Tom Strachan have got to?
21136Where did you last see him?"
21136Where was Abu Klea?
21136Where was it though?"
21136Whereon earth had he ever heard the word Burrachee?
21136Which is it, I wonder?
21136Who to send?
21136Why detail the scene?
21136Why did he quit the zereba?
21136Why did they not use their artillery?
21136Why disturb the ashes of the buried past?"
21136Why make two bites of a cherry?
21136Why, then, what were they fighting for?
21136Why?"
21136Will Hicks Pasha be bothered with me?"
21136Will you drop it in for her?"
21136Will you have a drop?"
21136Will you have it as a memorial from a fellow to whom you have been uncommonly kind?
21136With an army at Khartoum in front, and the army here in our rear, we should be between two fires, do n''t ye see?
21136Wo n''t you give me a chance, and pay me nothing till I am useful?"
21136You are journeying there now?"
21136You are no use at all, Strachan; why do n''t you make your section reserve their fire?
21136You call your bad puns wit, do you?"
21136You know, I suppose, that you can not get your company until you have done that?"
21136You may have known that?"
21136You remember the sham fights we used to have at Aldershot?
21136You see that rocky hill, with trees, out to the north?"
21136You seem to be a bit of a military critic; what do you think of them, and how do you like their mounts?"
21136Your mother was in it, was she not?"
21136_ Apropos_ of dinner, who do you think is coming to feed with us this evening, Kavanagh?"
21136` The property of a gentleman, having no further use for it,''eh?
21136` What else, Jack?''
21136asked Grady;"have n''t we bate the inimy into fiddle- strings already?"
21136exclaimed Macintosh,"ye would na go past it and leave all these thousands of heathens in our rear, would ye?
21136exclaimed the new- comer,"I beg your pardon if I am wrong, but is not your name Reece?"
21136he said,"however were you passed for the army?
21136said Kavanagh, severely,"do you know what Louis the Fourteenth of France said when his carriage drew up, as he stepped outside his front door?"
30365--As I already know that he is there, can I see him to- night?
30365About the kites?
30365Ah, Idris and Gebhr? 30365 An elephant?"
30365And Kali?
30365And Saba?
30365And after that who will succeed?
30365And am I such a lady?
30365And before you?
30365And do they live in water?
30365And does he permit her to sleep?
30365And everything which each one possesses and will possess?
30365And how shall we find them among the sand- hills?
30365And may I pluck just those flowers?
30365And shall we ride long?
30365And that one shall not pilfer from the other?
30365And that there should not be between you falsehood, nor treachery, nor hatred?
30365And that you shall be brethren?
30365And the hands and the spears and the cows?
30365And these men?
30365And this camp?
30365And those negroes?
30365And to Abyssinia?
30365And what am I to do afterwards, and where shall I go?
30365And what do you intend to do?
30365And what does she eat during that time?
30365And what is a knight- errant?
30365And what of it?
30365And what then?
30365And what will you do?
30365And who lives beyond the Samburus?
30365And who was Hannibal?
30365And why did England permit the Mahdi to occupy so much territory?
30365And will you, Nur el- Tadhil, leave us?
30365And would they obey?
30365And would you be able to cope with them?
30365And you already understand this? 30365 And you wanted to kill him?"
30365And you, Stas?
30365And you-- and Mea and Kali? 30365 Are there a river and waterfall ahead of us?"
30365Are we already stopping for the night?
30365Are you cold?
30365Are you delighted that you came to me?
30365Are you not a slave?
30365Are you sure that he was a sentinel?
30365But can all their money open for us the gates of paradise which only the blessing of the Mahdi can do?
30365But how can the Sudânese fly across the desert? 30365 But how?"
30365But if he should do it?
30365But if there is a great explosion, will he not get scared?
30365But if you caught one and took him along with us to the ocean?
30365But they awoke?
30365But we will not ride back on camels?
30365But what am I to do and where shall I stay until the time of the afternoon prayer?
30365But what could shake it?
30365But what good are Fatma and her children to the Government?
30365But what makes you think so?
30365But what will the tribesmen of the ill- omened prophet do with them? 30365 But when alone are we not allowed to make an excursion, even though such a tiny bit of a one?"
30365But where shall we seek them?
30365But why should they chase after him? 30365 But why so many?"
30365But you prefer the blessing of the Mahdi?
30365Can they advance as far as Egypt?
30365Could the children chance upon a similar spring?
30365Did any one see you?
30365Did he go long ago?
30365Did he look long?
30365Did those Englishmen return?
30365Did you conjure it to appear before us?
30365Did you ever in your life see a Mzimu?
30365Did you not fear in the night that you would meet a lion or a panther?
30365Did you not learn anything on Mount Linde, and are you not a Christian?
30365Did you order the fetish- men to go with us?
30365Did you order them to be killed?
30365Did you see him?
30365Did you see the snake?
30365Do the lower classes in Egypt really favor the Mahdi?
30365Do they jolt much?
30365Do you desire that the heart of Kali should be the heart of M''Rua and the heart of M''Rua the heart of Kali?
30365Do you desire to accept my doctrines?
30365Do you know what Kali is?
30365Do you know, Kali,he asked a certain day,"that after twenty days on horseback we could reach your country?"
30365Do you see any one any one standing there before me?
30365Do you think that I am not one? 30365 Do you think that another snake is hiding in the tree?"
30365Even unloaded?
30365For what would I then have to do?
30365Get angry, get angry, but who will free the elephant?
30365Have not the Wahimas killed any of these men dressed in white?
30365Have you good camels?
30365How do you feel, little one?
30365How do you know it is far?
30365How do you know that she has permitted it?
30365How does the gentleman know this?
30365How far is Luela from here?
30365How is that water called?
30365How many are there?
30365How will he carry the cartridges, if very few of them remain?
30365How will they find Smain?
30365How? 30365 I wanted to call you, and-- I could not-- but--""But what?"
30365I was awake before then and even wanted to come out of the tent, but--"But what?
30365I? 30365 I?
30365I?
30365If, however, the Egyptian troops are completely routed?
30365Is he the greatest of caliphs? 30365 Is that a great nation?"
30365Is that country like this?
30365Is that so?
30365Is there no help for them?
30365Is there no more on the kite?
30365Kali, did the sick negro hear of the war?
30365Kali, what is the name of your people?
30365Kali,Stas asked in a low tone,"do the Wahimas hunt lions?"
30365Kites?
30365Nonsense,said Stas,"look at this one; is he not well slain?"
30365Quiet them?
30365Shall we at that late hour be able to obtain food and fodder? 30365 Slain?"
30365So he may reward us?
30365So orders came to capture us?
30365So the faithful do not see the prophet?
30365Some evil is brewing?
30365Stas, the lion will not attack us, will he?
30365Stas, what has happened?
30365Stas, why are we flying so?
30365Stas, wo n''t he harm himself?
30365Such as Sahara?
30365Such as you used to send up in Port Said? 30365 Tell me how it was?
30365Tell us how you finished with the boy?
30365That is well, but where shall I find shelter?
30365The Mahdi is not living?
30365Then I shall ask you why your wisdom did not leave them at home?
30365Then I shall be in the geographies?
30365Then Smain is a good man?
30365Then my father and Mr. Rawlinson are not in Benisueif but in El- Gharak?
30365Then what is to be done?
30365Then what is to be done?
30365Then what shall we do?
30365Then you like to be idle?
30365They are sleeping and will not awaken any more?
30365They will not come here?
30365To a drug store?
30365Wahima? 30365 Water- elephants?"
30365Well, what am I to do, and where shall I go with Nell?
30365Well, what are you going to do with me?
30365Well, what will happen? 30365 What am I to do?"
30365What are you doing there, and where are you going?
30365What are you doing?
30365What are you doing?
30365What are you saying, Nell?
30365What are you saying, Nell?
30365What are you talking about, Nell?
30365What do you then do?
30365What do you think could have happened?
30365What do you want?
30365What do you want?
30365What does that mean?
30365What for?
30365What happened?
30365What has happened, Stas?
30365What has happened?
30365What is a Mzimu?
30365What is a siafu? 30365 What is it, dear?"
30365What is it?
30365What is it?
30365What is it?
30365What is it?
30365What is that?
30365What is the matter with you?
30365What is this? 30365 What is this?"
30365What is this?
30365What is this?
30365What is your father?
30365What is''Luela''?
30365What of it? 30365 What shall we do now, Stas?"
30365What would you do if we met the Wahimas, and what would they do?
30365What, Stas?
30365What, do you think?
30365When shall we leave?
30365When will they overtake us?
30365Where are we going?
30365Where is the fetish- man? 30365 Where is the fetish- man?"
30365Where,he finally asked,"are Fumba''s warriors whom the Samburus dispersed?"
30365Where?
30365Where?
30365Who is there?
30365Who knows but that we may find a despatch in the hotel?
30365Who would have prevented you from remaining a Christian in your soul?
30365Who?
30365Why are you giving me that?
30365Why are you looking so?
30365Why do n''t you answer?
30365Why do you want me to give you the rifle?
30365Why do you want to go with us?
30365Why do you want to kill the dog? 30365 Why does the daughter of the moon weep?"
30365Why not?
30365Why should that concern you?
30365Why should you be so anxious?
30365Why should you want to shoot at them?
30365Why, Stas?
30365Why, Stas?
30365Why,she asked in a broken voice,"do Gebhr and Chamis walk around the tree and peer at me?"
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Why?
30365Would you like to see your father?
30365Yes, but you will kill every ugly beast?
30365You are not afraid, now?
30365You could not? 30365 You say then that we will remain in Omdurmân?"
30365Yours, little viper?
30365( A bird?
30365A bird?)
30365After which he asked further:"What were you thinking of at that moment?"
30365After which he began to ask further:"Are you going to transport us to- morrow to Omdurmân?"
30365Again resounded the feverish interrogations:"What is to be done?"
30365Akuna ndege?
30365And Chamis?
30365And Idris asked:"How do you know that we are driving away from the Nile, since the banks can not be seen from here?"
30365And Nell continued in a scarcely audible, dreamy voice:"And papa will come and you will come sometime, will you not?"
30365And after that, what?
30365And she began to call to him:"Elephant, dear elephant, is n''t it true you would not do any harm to us?"
30365And that is death,--do you understand?
30365And what says Kali, the son of the king of Wahima?
30365And why did they not obey his commands?
30365Arabs from the eastern coast?
30365Are there two of you above me?
30365Are you anxious that we should join his detachment?"
30365Are you anxious that your faith should be professed by cowards and base people?"
30365Are you there?"
30365As if I had how many years?"
30365As to judgment, were you judicious at his age?"
30365At this the other officer turned quickly around and asked:"Rawlinson?
30365At you?"
30365Besides, do you know what would have happened if they did not find Smain?
30365Besides, do you think that on the river there are no secret friends of the Mahdi?
30365Buffaloes, perhaps?
30365But I am glad that I did not do that, as the men would perish on the way, and, even if they reached the coast, why should we awaken vain hopes?"
30365But Stas, at the very thought of whipping the"bibi,"jumped as if scalded and shouted in anger:"Fool, do you know who the''bibi''is?"
30365But after a moment he asked:"But what of Chamis?"
30365But do n''t you feel sick?"
30365But he propounded to himself the question, who in such case will carry Nell''s tent and on what will she herself ride?
30365But how will you name this possession?"
30365But what could it be?
30365But what shall Kali do with Faru and with the Samburus who killed Fumba?"
30365But what will become of your kingdom and who will govern the Wahimas in your place?"
30365But when would that happen, and what would they encounter before that time?
30365But who knows who is destined to die first?
30365But why did you climb the tree, and what are you doing there?"
30365But why do they not allow Fatma to leave Port Said?"
30365But why do you not sleep?"
30365By what miracle through long months of journey did they not die from starvation, or become the prey of wild animals?
30365Did n''t you hear him?
30365Did their hoof- beats awaken you?"
30365Did you hear him draw near?"
30365Did you speak of some sick girl?
30365Do you hear the waterfall?"
30365Do you hear?"
30365Do you know that you almost ruined me?
30365Do you know what that means?
30365Do you know where you are at present?"
30365Do you remember, Glenn, the little one''s angelic countenance?"
30365Do you see that opening?
30365Do you see?
30365Do you understand, you fool?"
30365Do you understand?
30365Do you understand?"
30365Do you understand?"
30365Do you understand?"
30365Do you want him to blow it away-- oh, men?"
30365Do you want to drink at that fountain?"
30365Do you want to have plenty of food and milk-- oh, men?"
30365Does Madame know how far it is from Medinet to Khartûm?"
30365Finally Nell, finding herself on her own feet, began to gaze in Pan Tarkowski''s eyes:"Pan Tarkowski--""What is it, Nell?"
30365Finally she asked:"Honestly, Stas, is n''t he wise?"
30365Finally, who could guarantee that Stas would not die after such an operation?
30365For appearances, for a few words, which at the same time you may disavow in your soul?
30365For some time they rode in silence; after which Idris again asked:"How soon shall we arrive at Khartûm?"
30365For what reason did the boy not attempt to fly with his little companion to Abyssinia?
30365For with what will I hunt, with what will I defend you in case of an attack?
30365From these dreams he was awakened by Idris who, pointing at Stas carrying the sleeping girl, asked:"What shall we do with that hornet and that fly?"
30365From whence did Stas get the information about him?
30365Has not some sickness taken hold of me?"
30365Have you ever heard of the Mahdi?"
30365Have you not had enough in the journey from Fayûm to Khartûm?
30365He never in his life saw either Gebhr or the Bedouins; he knew only Chamis, but what was Chamis to him?
30365He restrained himself, however, and, turning to the little girl, asked:"Do you fear, Nell?"
30365Help?
30365Here the Greek broke off and asked:"Do any of these men understand English?"
30365How can you think that she can endure such a journey?
30365How could you do this?"
30365How shall we get through the Samburu country?"
30365How will you be able to slip through?"
30365I do not know whether we can hold out from hunger until the hour of prayer, and who will feed us later?"
30365If she should die, I also will die, and then with what will you come to the Mahdi?"
30365If that really was Fayûm, would they gaze upon it so indifferently?
30365If the slave- hunt is successful, he will take the slaves to the cities to sell them--""What is to be done?"
30365If, however, it should be a division of Smain''s forces who, having encountered the corpses in the ravine, are pursuing the murderers?
30365If, slipping out with the weapon and hiding among the rocks, he should kill not the men but shoot the camels?
30365In Fashoda even adult Europeans die of the fever like flies, and what of such a child?
30365In the meantime the Mahdi replaced the gourd and asked:"So, you reject my doctrines?"
30365In what had she, ill- fated woman, offended the Government or the Khedive?
30365In what manner did they succeed in escaping from the hands of the guards?
30365Is Dinah to go with you?"
30365Is he not one of the directors of the Canal and has he not a brother in Bombay?"
30365Is it so?"
30365Is it worse than a lion?"
30365Is there another king and nation as stupid in the world?
30365Is your father a sorcerer?"
30365It is the duty of man to preserve life and it would be madness, and even a sin, to jeopardize it-- for what?
30365It would be too bad and a sad ending for the innocent animals;--that is true, but what was to be done?
30365Ndege?"
30365Nell, do you see that fragment?
30365Nell, pleased with the praise, propped her little nose on his arm; after which she asked:"When shall we start on our fifth journey?"
30365Not a bird?
30365Perhaps a pair of rhinoceroses seeking an exit from the ravine?
30365Perhaps that snake was Mzimu?"
30365Shall I ride to them?"
30365She, on the other hand, asked:"But if you catch the fever?"
30365Smain will not be hard to find--""Will they, however, overtake him?"
30365So he stopped them and asked:"Who ordered you to go?"
30365So where did it come from?"
30365Stas approached the giant tree, whose trunk, hollowed through decay near the ground, looked like a tower, and asked:"What do you want?"
30365Stas did not know which would be better-- a sudden death or new captivity?
30365Stas himself threw brushwood onto the fire, after which he shook the negress and asked:"Where is Kali?"
30365Stas looked more and more sternly:"What of it?"
30365Stas raised one of the jars towards the fire- pot and asked with pride and joy:"And what is this?"
30365Stas rubbed his perspiring forehead with his hand; after which he said:"And M''Kunje and M''Pua?"
30365Stas waited for some time, but as the negro did not return, he involuntarily propounded to himself the question:"Did he run away?"
30365Stas''curiosity was so aroused that he forgot that he had determined not to speak to Idris any more and asked:"Sands?
30365Stas, behind Idris, leaned towards Nell and asked:"Do you feel cold?"
30365Take a horse also; you will return sooner to your patient-- how old is she?"
30365The Mahdi smiled at him with his thick lips, asking:"Do you want to drink at the spring of truth?"
30365Then at the camp- fire began the following conversation:"Can we start?"
30365Then he shouted to Kali:"Kali, did you see them?"
30365Then what did it mean?
30365They fought with giants and dragons, and do you know that each one had his lady, whom he protected and defended?"
30365To- day the weather is fine; you see, however, that the clouds are gathering thicker and thicker and who knows whether it will not pour before night?
30365Truly, did you say that you had escaped from dervish captivity and are hiding in the jungle?
30365Upon what tribes would he yet chance, into what regions would he enter, and how much travel still remained?
30365Was it her fault or could she be held accountable because she was the relative of the dervish, Mohammed Ahmed?
30365Was the pursuing party already approaching?
30365Well then, what later?
30365Well, what is it?"
30365Well?"
30365What are you doing?"
30365What could this be?
30365What creatures are these which have come to us, and what awaits us at their hands?"
30365What do you intend to do with him?"
30365What do you intend to do?"
30365What do you want of me?"
30365What do you want?"
30365What does it mean?"
30365What dreadful misfortune awaited them among the savage hordes intoxicated with blood?
30365What hand could snatch from it and save two small, defenseless children?
30365What happened?"
30365What is it?
30365What is this, their Mzimu?
30365What lion would dare to hunt there where the sound of the King reaches?"
30365What meant the blood of such wretches beside the life of Nell, and could any one in such a situation hesitate?
30365What, after all, would it have availed him to shoot in such darkness?
30365What?
30365Where are his charms?
30365Where did the children get the paper for the kite?
30365Where did they hide?
30365Where is Kamba?"
30365Where is his power?
30365Where is the fetish- man?
30365While he replied:"And to whom am I to be kind?
30365While she asked uneasily:"But you will return to Port Said?"
30365Who knows whether he does not feel a little gratitude towards us?
30365Who knows whether he has not run away?
30365Who knows whether it will not be the longest journey?"
30365Who knows why?
30365Whom would he see below?
30365Why are you crying?
30365Why are you flying like that about the fire?"
30365Why are you staring at me like at a green cat?
30365Why did the dervishes send them east of the Nile into an unknown region?
30365Why did you kill them?"
30365Why does not any wicked Mzimu roar in his defense?
30365Why were they not killed by savages?
30365With what will you defend yourself, if wild animals or brigands attack you?"
30365Would Nell be able to endure all these fatigues and privations?
30365Would he come to them, and would he travel along with them?
30365Would he find death, or slavery, or salvation for Nell?
30365Would it not be proper for him to satisfy himself upon this point?
30365Would they find the children or would they not?
30365XXI"Nell, can you enumerate our journeys from Fayûm?"
30365XXI"Stas, why are we riding and speeding and have not yet reached Smain?"
30365Yes, but if they should not give him time to make such a promise and should kill him in the first transports of rage?
30365You have no hope?"
30365brought that dog here,"exclaimed Gebhr,"but in what manner did he find the children, since they came to Gharak by rail?"
30365cried Nell from below,"but how will you get down now?"
30365exclaimed Stas,"and what is a good one?"
30365what did you do afterwards?"
30365what have you done?
18883A mere sunstroke? 18883 A stuffy place Suakin, eh, Sutch?"
18883A token?
18883A well?
18883Abou Fatma,said Willoughby, slowly,"one of the Hadendoas?"
18883Abou Fatma?
18883About Gordon''s letters and the wall of a house in Berber? 18883 After all, why are you here?"
18883After we had gone?
18883Ah, but did you consider it? 18883 An escape?"
18883And Colonel Trench too?
18883And Durrance left no message?
18883And Miss Eustace?
18883And after the song was ended?
18883And all that you have told me happened in the spring?
18883And all this-- all that you have told to me,she exclaimed suddenly, with her face very stern,"you would have hidden from me?
18883And is this all?
18883And it''s all you know?
18883And that is all?
18883And the letter still remains in the wall? 18883 And the open country?"
18883And was that all I told you?
18883And when was that?
18883And where does Miss Eustace live now?
18883And you bring it to me?
18883And you gave no sign?
18883And you go back there?
18883Any news?
18883Anything more?
18883Are the Effendi tired?
18883Are you blind?
18883Are you quite sure, Ethne,said Mrs. Adair,"that the two lives will not be more surely spoilt by this way of yours-- the way of marriage?
18883Are you quite sure?
18883Are you so glad of the change?
18883Are you sure?
18883Are you sure?
18883But anything else? 18883 But how does Miss Eustace know?"
18883But is he alive?
18883But must you and I wait?
18883But need you subscribe to it, Feversham?
18883But since I know,he protested,"what does it matter how I know?
18883Can a sunstroke destroy the optic nerve?
18883Can we muster a tableful, do you think?
18883Can you see her now in the garden?
18883Can you?
18883Castleton?
18883Compensations of what kind?
18883Could the stranger be Harry Feversham?
18883Could you find the house again?
18883Did I?
18883Did he tell you of a fourth white feather?
18883Did n''t I hear, Durrance,he said with an air of carelessness,"that you were engaged to Miss Eustace?"
18883Did she make a mistake five years ago? 18883 Did you cause that trouble?"
18883Did you ever read''Hamlet''?
18883Did you never inquire whom Durrance talked with at Tewfikieh on that night?
18883Did you not ask him? 18883 Did you?"
18883Do I hurt you?
18883Do you ever see Durrance?
18883Do you hear our ombeyehs? 18883 Do you hear, Kaffir?"
18883Do you hear? 18883 Do you know what I was thinking when I stopped you?"
18883Do you mind?
18883Do you remember that?
18883Do you remember, Harry?
18883Do you want me so very much?
18883Do you wonder that I am glad? 18883 Does Colonel Durrance know that I am in the club?"
18883Does it mean death?
18883Does my story account for it?
18883Ethne, where do you think I heard that overture last played?
18883For whom do you come?
18883For yourself? 18883 From Dongola?"
18883From Lieutenant Calder, saying that Colonel Durrance had gone blind?
18883From Metemneh? 18883 From Ramelton?"
18883From him?
18883Had you anything of mine with you?
18883Harry is still in the Soudan?
18883Have n''t you noticed how quick he has grown and is growing? 18883 Have you ever suffered an injury in the head?"
18883Have you forgotten the yarn he told you?
18883Have you no friends?
18883Have you noticed the date of the month, Sutch?
18883Have you seen Ethne?
18883He did not tell you that?
18883He gave you a hope?
18883He left Halfa eight weeks ago, eh?
18883He will wait?
18883He wishes you to chuck your commission?
18883Hit?
18883How can I help it? 18883 How did he look?"
18883How did it happen?
18883How did it happen?
18883How did you know? 18883 How do you do?"
18883How do you do?
18883How do you know that I was present?
18883How do you know?
18883How do you know?
18883How long have I lain ill?
18883How long shall you stay at Wiesbaden?
18883How should he? 18883 How should one forget?"
18883How soon will that be? 18883 How would you have taken it if I had?"
18883How''s the leg?
18883How?
18883I am very sorry,said Ethne, with a smile;"but why have you been put to this trouble?"
18883I may write?
18883I saw your light that morning... you put it out suddenly... did you hear my step on the gravel?... 18883 I spoke brutally, did n''t I?"
18883I thought that I would speak to you, because-- do you remember, a long time ago you gave me your card? 18883 I told him that too?"
18883I was always pretty bad at appreciating music, was n''t I? 18883 I wonder why you did n''t go to the station and meet Colonel Durrance?"
18883If you had not been engaged to me, you would still have sent in your papers?
18883Impossible?
18883Indeed?
18883Into the desert?
18883Is Durrance here?
18883Is he dead?
18883Is it a man or woman?
18883Is it true?
18883Is she not in the little garden by the water?
18883It is Abou Fatma?
18883It is nothing,he repeated in a sort of passionate obstinacy; but in his mind there ran another question,"Will the men with the camels wait?"
18883It was Effendi Feversham, then?
18883It was Mrs. Adair, I imagine, who proposed this plan that I should come home to Guessens and that you should stay with her here across the fields?
18883It was a melody from this overture?
18883It would not please you, then, to know where Harry Feversham has been, and how he has lived during the last five years?
18883It''s a bit of a muddle, is n''t it?
18883Just before I left England three years ago?
18883Killed?
18883Major Castleton is dead?
18883May I come back?
18883Mine?
18883Mr. Feversham remained at Wadi Halfa, then? 18883 Must I go, father?"
18883News of Harry Feversham? 18883 No?
18883Nor on what business he has been engaged?
18883Not you?
18883Now,she said,"will you tell me, if you please, why the feathers have been sent?"
18883Now?
18883Now?
18883Now?
18883Of course, what?
18883Of what are you thinking?
18883Of what are you thinking?
18883Of what? 18883 Oh, when, when?"
18883Oh,observed Sutch,"and whom do you propose to visit?"
18883Part company, you and I-- after the year in Omdurman, the weeks of flight?
18883Possible? 18883 Ramelton, that was the name?
18883Really? 18883 Shall I be able to keep up the pretence when we are married, when we are always together?"
18883Shall I see you?
18883She has married since?
18883She refused you?
18883So Miss Eustace told you the story,he said,"and showed you the feather?"
18883So she has lost everything?
18883So soon?
18883So you never knew what brought Mr. Feversham to Halfa?
18883So you never saw Mr. Feversham again?
18883Something rather important?
18883Suppose that Durrance had sat down on the top of us?
18883Suppose that you had never met her, would you still have sent in your papers?
18883That night?
18883That''s rough luck, is n''t it?
18883The arms?
18883The go- between?
18883The golden blot, eh, very low down?
18883The man on the bedstead?
18883The new camels are here?
18883The oculist at Wiesbaden?
18883Then do you bring more than friendship?
18883Then how did you find out?
18883Then how did you learn the story?
18883Then how do you know Captain Willoughby brought good news of Harry Feversham?
18883Then she is still at Ramelton?
18883Then there is a chance?
18883Then there is no hope?
18883Then what in the world makes you think that there''s no chance?
18883There is ammunition?
18883There is no one to bring you food?
18883There is something, then, to be concealed from him?
18883They are good camels?
18883They will be married soon?
18883This overture?
18883Three?
18883To Dublin? 18883 To whom?
18883To whom?
18883Too late? 18883 Too late?"
18883Was it about the feathers?
18883Was the name Ethne? 18883 Was there?"
18883We agreed, did n''t we, that no foolish misunderstandings should ever come between us? 18883 Well, well?"
18883Well, what did he say?
18883Well? 18883 Well?"
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Well?
18883Were they justly sent?
18883Were you afraid, too, of disgracing me? 18883 Were you ever thrown from your horse?
18883What am I to do?
18883What are they digging?
18883What are you thinking about?
18883What became of Mr. Feversham after he had given you that feather?
18883What did he say?
18883What do you mean?
18883What do you mean?
18883What does he want with us? 18883 What does it matter now?"
18883What does it mean?
18883What does it mean?
18883What if I could compel Trench, Castleton, and Willoughby to take back from me, each in his turn, the feather he sent? 18883 What is your second item?"
18883What plan?
18883What shall I play to you?
18883What should I do if I were crippled?
18883What was I doing on the fifteenth? 18883 What will happen to him?"
18883What will you do now?
18883What will you have?
18883What?
18883When did you get back?
18883When was that letter written?
18883When was this?
18883When?
18883Where did you learn them?
18883Where do you come from?
18883Where has she gone?
18883Which way will you go?
18883Who knows of the feathers? 18883 Who knows?
18883Who of you three first thought of sending the feathers?
18883Who sent them?
18883Who told her? 18883 Who told you of any fourth feather?"
18883Why did n''t I speak that night?
18883Why did you hide?
18883Why in the world do you wish to see him?
18883Why not?
18883Why of course?
18883Why should n''t we start the Crimean nights again?
18883Why should they?
18883Why suppose, since he did not?
18883Why, then?
18883Why? 18883 Why?"
18883Why?
18883Why?
18883Why?
18883Will he recover?
18883Will she wait, do you think?
18883Will they stop and eat? 18883 Will this make any difference?"
18883Will you be good enough to give orders about my horse?
18883Will you give it me, please?
18883Will you go on?
18883Will you repeat what you said?
18883Will you smoke?
18883Will you take it back?
18883Will you take yours back?
18883Will you tell me it?
18883Will you tell me?
18883Would he travel up to town so often to see his oculist if he had none?
18883Yes, how did you find out?
18883Yes, we must have a talk, must n''t we?
18883Yes,said Feversham, briskly;"ibex, eh?"
18883Yes?
18883Yes?
18883Yes?
18883Yes?
18883Yet you are glad that he is dead?
18883You agree with that? 18883 You are disappointed?
18883You are going? 18883 You are recommended to go?"
18883You are still in Hill Street?
18883You are sure-- quite sure?
18883You are sure?
18883You are sure?
18883You disliked Major Castleton so much?
18883You distrust me?
18883You do not know Mrs. Adair, I think?
18883You gave the feathers back into Feversham''s hand--"He told you that himself?
18883You give him nothing to eat or drink?
18883You have actually seen him?
18883You have forgotten me?
18883You have heard nothing of it?
18883You have kept them?
18883You have never come across him, I suppose?
18883You have news for me?
18883You have noticed the change in her to- night?
18883You have played upon it? 18883 You have seen him?"
18883You have spoken to him? 18883 You have them?
18883You have told me everything?
18883You know Castleton''s address?
18883You know him?
18883You know that?
18883You mean the Arab who can come and go between Omdurman and the Egyptian frontier?
18883You mean, shall I leave the service?
18883You mean-- one must look to the brain?
18883You received my telegram in time, then?
18883You remember that last reconnaissance we made from Suakin?
18883You remember the telegram I showed to you?
18883You return to Dublin, I suppose?
18883You saw us?
18883You saw your oculist yesterday?
18883You spoke to him?
18883You understand English?
18883You were helping some one to escape? 18883 You were in the church, then?
18883You were wounded there? 18883 You will come back, sir, to- night?"
18883You will live there alone?
18883You will promise?
18883You will write from Wiesbaden? 18883 You?"
18883Yours, too, I hope,Mrs. Adair answered, and she exclaimed:"How could I go on keeping silence?
18883''Am I a coward?''
18883A weary, trying life, do n''t you think?
18883Adair?"
18883Adair?"
18883After all, what did it matter whether Durrance knew, whether every man knew, from the South Pole to the North, since she, Ethne, knew?
18883After the third visit Durrance said to her:--"Do you remember that I once mentioned a famous oculist at Wiesbaden?
18883Am I a coward?
18883And Ethne?...
18883And he asked,"Who is Sutch?"
18883And he to you?
18883And then he cast up his arms and cried aloud:"Will they never come up the Nile, the gunboats and the soldiers?
18883And then you come whom I greatly value, and you say quietly,''Will you please spoil my career too?''"
18883And then, Ethne?
18883And what''s friendship worth?"
18883And why?
18883And will one be perpetually on one''s guard?
18883And you?"
18883Any little thing which I had given you in the other days?"
18883Are you curious, Willoughby?
18883Are you going?"
18883At Berber?
18883Breaks my pate across?
18883But can this soldier find work so suitable?
18883But how did you find out?
18883But it would n''t make life easier for a wife, would it?
18883But put it this way: Women look backwards, we look ahead; so misfortune hits them harder, eh?"
18883But the pines?"
18883But to each question Feversham replied:--"How should a Greek know of these matters?"
18883But was there really more misunderstanding than wrong?
18883But what in the world should I do if I had to sit in a chair all my days?
18883But what should I do if I had to sit in a chair all my days?"
18883But what was he doing at Wadi Halfa, masquerading with this itinerant troupe?
18883But what when we came to live under the same roof, and there were no visits to the oculist, when we saw each other every hour of every day?
18883But why?
18883But you do not know?"
18883But, my gentleman, did you know me for yours?"
18883By choosing which of them could she fulfil her determination?
18883By what means was that possibility to be avoided?
18883Ca n''t you imagine him, then, picking it out sedulously and laboriously on the strings?
18883Can you read the riddle of that feather?"
18883Can you tell me if this house is called The Pool?"
18883Captain Willoughby was in peril, and Harry came to his aid?"
18883Curious that, eh?
18883Did he guess that her letter was sent out of pity?
18883Did he know enough to be able so to refer to him?
18883Did he know of the telegram?
18883Did he need money?"
18883Did he suspect, she asked herself?
18883Did she misjudge him?
18883Did you ever come across an Arab called Abou Fatma?"
18883Did you ever hear of a constable called Bastable?"
18883Did you ever see his house in Warwickshire?
18883Did you take back your feather?
18883Did you?"
18883Do n''t you see that?
18883Do n''t you think so, too?
18883Do n''t you think that you will come to feel Colonel Durrance, in spite of your will, something of a hindrance and a drag?
18883Do n''t you understand?"
18883Do these two men understand English?"
18883Do you know the camel''s way?
18883Do you know the little back streets in a manufacturing town?
18883Do you know these men?"
18883Do you know when the ducks start quacking in St. James''s Park?"
18883Do you remember the day?
18883Do you remember the lines?
18883Do you remember what you said when the morning came through the blinds?
18883Does he say where?"
18883Does n''t it seem strange to you, too?
18883Does n''t that help you to understand?"
18883Durrance answered her quite gently:--"Have I no reason to distrust you?
18883Durrance had never in his life paid him a friendly visit before, and why should he go out of his way to do so now?
18883Durrance put another question:--"How did you find out?"
18883El Kaimakam Trench?
18883Else why should I be here?"
18883Ethne?
18883Feversham had spoken his words with difficulty, not looking at his companion, and he continued with his eyes still averted:--"Do you understand?
18883For a while they lay side by side in silence, breathing the cool night air, and then Trench said:--"Are you awake?"
18883For if she failed, what had this friend of his any longer left?
18883From Berber?
18883From Omdurman?
18883Harry, why did n''t you let me speak?
18883Has she to- day learnt that she misjudged him?"
18883Have I not?"
18883Have they forgotten us in England?
18883Have you anything to tell me?"
18883He gave up the attempt and asked:--"Are Harry Feversham and his wife in town?"
18883He had schooled himself in the tongue, he had lived in the bazaars, to no end?
18883He is dead?"
18883He said to the landlady who waited upon him:--"So Lennon House has been burned down?
18883He saw the fanatical faces crowding fiercely about him... were not mutilations practised?...
18883He turned again to the centre of the room and asked abruptly:--"You are going back to Glenalla?"
18883He turned back to his letter and again Sutch asked:--"Anything more?"
18883He was still the craven who had sent in his papers?
18883How dare he sit in judgment upon the meanest of his fellows, let alone Harry Feversham?
18883How did he know that I was here?"
18883How long before they discover you are gone?"
18883How many people?"
18883How was he to re- create his life?
18883How was the secret of his disgrace to be most easily concealed?
18883I can get about, ca n''t I?
18883I do n''t understand that, do you?
18883I should not have asked him,''Where is Harry Feversham?''
18883I think we met-- let me see-- where was it?
18883Is n''t it possible that he may come to feel that too?
18883Is that the man?"
18883Is this the end?"
18883It occurred to Durrance that it was not a natural place at which to stop; Willoughby might have been expected to add,"Why do you ask me?"
18883It seemed to Sutch that they uttered a question, and, rightly or wrongly, he interpreted the question into words:--"Are you blind?"
18883It was horrible, do n''t you think?"
18883Laura, have n''t you noticed?
18883May I trespass upon you for a night''s lodging?"
18883Now you are going back to the Soudan, Willoughby?"
18883Of whom do you think he spoke?"
18883Oh, to Harry?"
18883Once his attention was diverted by a word from Feversham, and he answered without turning his head:--"What is it?"
18883Or more than one white feather?
18883Or was it merely by chance that his words were so strikingly apposite?
18883Or you heard us upon the steps?
18883Or you met-- him as he rode away?"
18883Perhaps you have business with her?"
18883Perhaps you spoke to him?"
18883Perhaps you will be wanting to see her?"
18883Plucks off my beard, and blows it in my face?
18883Relief will be given at all events; but more?
18883Shall I give you an instance?
18883Shall I open them?"
18883Shall I tell you why?
18883She saw Harry Feversham bending over his zither, and at once she asked herself,"What was he doing with that troupe?"
18883Six months,--what are they?"
18883Suppose that a white feather had been forwarded to Lennon House, and had been opened in Ethne''s presence?
18883Suppose the face in the crowd is a mask, what then?
18883That is so, is n''t it?"
18883That seems cruel?
18883That some accident happened to Colonel Durrance yesterday in London?"
18883That''s it?"
18883The fourth one?"
18883The middle of the month, was n''t it?
18883The story is curious, eh?"
18883Then she asked:--"You have that letter with you?"
18883Then she said:--"I wonder whether you have forgotten our drive from Ramelton to our house when I came to fetch you from the quay?
18883Then she said:--"You belong to Colonel Durrance''s regiment, perhaps?"
18883Then the man in the blue gown has gone?"
18883Then you knew?"
18883There still remained the question, what was Harry Feversham, disgraced and ruined, now to do?
18883These four years of anticipation were as nothing, then?
18883They were sent to you in jest?
18883Was I in any way the cause that you resigned?"
18883Was it Feversham?
18883Was it right, he began to ask, that a man should even try?
18883Was it?
18883Was it?"
18883Was that the reason why you went away?"
18883Was the whole thing a lure to which we have not the clue?
18883Was the woman''s name Ethne?
18883Well?"
18883Were you wounded?"
18883What can I say to him?"
18883What can have been his business with Durrance?
18883What cruelties might not be practised?
18883What did these persistent questions matter, since the feathers had come, since her ring lay flickering and winking on the table?
18883What has become of Harry?"
18883What then?
18883What was I doing?"
18883What was it playing?
18883What were the first words?"
18883What will you do with them?"
18883What would it have mattered?
18883What''s the object?"
18883When I was delirious in the prison there, I said nothing of it, I breathed no word of it?
18883When I was in the drawing- room alone and you came to the window, how much did you hear?
18883When do you leave for Ireland?"
18883When she said that she needed to be assured that she had sure friends, did she not mean that she needed their companionship?
18883When was that?"
18883When?"
18883Where are they?"
18883Where is he now?"
18883Where then?
18883Whereas now--""Whereas now?"
18883Which way did Ethne go?"
18883Who calls me villain?
18883Who could this visitor have been whom he meets in the street of Tewfikieh, and who must come so secretly to Wadi Halfa?
18883Who else?"
18883Who is paying?"
18883Who knows when a chance of escape may come?"
18883Who knows?
18883Who?
18883Why did it never take place?"
18883Why did n''t you?
18883Why did you interfere?"
18883Why did you not bring this feather to me last summer?"
18883Why did you tell me of Captain Willoughby''s coming?
18883Why have you come?"
18883Why was his engagement with Miss Eustace broken off?
18883Why?
18883Why?"
18883Why?"
18883Will you give it to me, please?"
18883Will you give me your arm?"
18883Will you take them, please?"
18883Will you, if you please, take back your ring?"
18883Would friendship speak from it or the something more than friendship?
18883Would the girl, he wondered, understand as clearly?
18883Would the woman over in Ireland understand?
18883Yet what more could he do?
18883Yet when the moment of action comes sharp and immediate, does he fail?"
18883Yet when the moment of action comes, sharp and immediate, does he fail?
18883You are going back at once to Kingsbridge?
18883You are surprised that I was clever enough to find out the truth by the exercise of my own wits?"
18883You have a plan of escape?"
18883You have money?"
18883You have seen, I suppose?"
18883You have the particulars?
18883You know, Jack?"
18883You remember Mather, I suppose?
18883You remember the night before he started?"
18883You remember?"
18883You were in prison at Omdurman and escaped?
18883You will go to- morrow?"
18883You would have married me and hidden it, had not these three feathers come?"
18883You wrote to him?"
18883and he shouted aloud to his neighbour-- for in that clamour nothing less than a shout was audible--"Is it you, Ibrahim?"
18883have they forgotten us?"
18883said Dawson,"and who was the visitor?"
18883said Durrance, suddenly; and immediately upon the question he asked another,"What makes you jump?"
