46304And Francisco?
46304And has he become a bankrupt since then, or a beggar?
46304And it is to his sister''s dwelling that you are leading_ me_?
46304And to return?
46304And what may that have been?
46304And whence will you seek succour?
46304And where is he now, or how engaged?
46304And why does the gallant Colonel Valdez loiter in the rear, when his men are in action?
46304And why, why did you hold back?
46304And you are prepared to die-- so young, so beautiful, to die a traitress?
46304And you know the alternative?
46304And your sentence?
46304But what has led you so completely to alter your views and intentions?
46304But whither, whither are you about to lead us?
46304Can it be done?
46304Colonel Don Juan de Alava, on your honour, as a soldier and a gentleman, do you know where this American woman now is?
46304Did I understand you aright, young sir? 46304 Do you know that they say jealous husbands make false wives?
46304Do you think me less firm than a woman?
46304Have you heard anything,he asked, quietly,"from the forest in our rear?"
46304Have you sworn secrecy?
46304Heard I what?
46304How came the lady''s horse in the stable?
46304How saved?
46304Is it so, lady?--is it so, indeed?
46304Is that a blush of consciousness, or of shame, Julia?
46304Is there so much danger?
46304It is?
46304It may save us-- who knows?
46304Jealous of me, Arthur?
46304Not severely-- not fatally, at least?
46304On your honour, do you know where the lady is at this moment?
46304Our journey''s end-- Taylor''s camp, of course-- where else_ should_ it be?
46304Quien Sabe?
46304Remain in concealment, here?
46304That is soon done, so far as we men are concerned,replied the Partisan;"but how do you get_ her_ across rivers such as this?"
46304Well, sir, and who are you, then, I pray?
46304What could become of him? 46304 What have I done,"she cried, passionately,"what have I done that you thus spurn me-- thus despise me?"
46304What have you done, mad girl? 46304 What then?
46304Where is Estefania?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is she?
46304Where is the lady gone who was here last night?
46304Where is your officer?
46304Who groomed him?
46304Who knows?
46304You know it? 46304 _ Madre de Dios_, who is this?"
46304''Do you dare to resist an officer?
46304And high above all other sounds, and high arose the cry of the Texans--"Remember the Alama, the Alamo?"
46304And, as the next question, what made you count upon me?"
46304But as I have endeavoured to serve you truly, as I intend to do to the end-- as I am resolved to die for you-- will you spare_ me_, I say?
46304But now it is my turn to ask,"and his voice assumed a deeper tone of feeling, and his whole manner showed an intenser meaning,"will_ you_ spare_ me_?
46304But what could I do?
46304Did you say Julia Forester has no home save in the tent of a second lieutenant of dragoons?"
46304Do not you say so, lieutenant?"
46304I knew not_ then_, I know not even now, what it was I said-- will you but forgive me?"
46304Is it a bargain?"
46304Is it, indeed, you?
46304Is your glance answered?
46304Now where may that very definite place, which you call your journey''s end, be?
46304One question more-- will you reveal it?"
46304She has promised to be a sister to poor Marguerita; will you do likewise?"
46304The general cast his eyes sternly round the circle, reading the judgment of each man by his face, as he asked:"Are they guilty of high treason?"
46304Thou wilt be cared for; will he not, Gordon-- Julia?"
46304What could we do?"
46304What harm can one poor devil like that do to six stout, well- armed fellows, such as we?"
46304What shall I do to win your forgiveness?"
46304Where is that lady?"
46304Where is the lady?"
46304Who are you, fellow, speak?"
46304Who ever served or loved a woman and met with other guerdon for his services?
46304Who is this, I say, who is this, Marguerita?"
46304Will you trust me and follow me?
46304You have read it?"
46304You will be good to him, Gordon?"
46304You will permit me Gordon?"
46304a fairy bower, and a fair woman, in this howling wilderness?"
46304and he gazed at her in blank astonishment;"I despise you?"
46304can this be so?
46304exclaimed Julia, wildly catching him by the arm,"why did you not rush upon them?"
46304for that, false girl?"
46304have not they cut him off?"
46304it can not be-- the daughter of my best and oldest friend, Colonel John Forester?
46304she cried, fervently;"do my eyes tell me truly?
46304she cried, imploringly,"will you call me Julia?
46304she exclaimed in a low whisper,"heard you that?"
46304when will this have an end?"
46304will you have no sentinel?"
40366''Off agin, gone agin,''are you? 40366 A fine country home built of logs and furnished with beautiful old heirlooms?
40366And do you know a place in Lloydsboro Valley called the Log Cabin?
40366And the little girl?
40366And then,asked Phil,"after that?"
40366And then,she continued,"you remember when we met Phil and Elsie Tremont on the train, as we were going out to Arizona to live?"
40366And you''ll give me your hand on it?
40366Are n''t they dear? 40366 Are you sure?"
40366But I may write about Elsie''s wedding and say that you''ll all be going West?
40366But the question is,_ what_?
40366But what could an outsider do with them if their own family has failed?
40366But what makes you think that I''ll always go it alone?
40366But will you promise?
40366But,asked Norman,"what if Goldilocks and her sister both want to play with it at the same time?
40366By the way, what are you going to do next? 40366 Did n''t I say that she''d soon adjust herself-- find something to amuse herself and all the rest of us as well?"
40366Did n''t you all go out in a big red automobile this afternoon? 40366 Did what?"
40366Did you see me fencing for time when Little Sister demanded to be told what I''d teach them first? 40366 Do you believe that is true?"
40366Do you ever get desperate over things?
40366Do you know where the children are?
40366Do you realize that we could keep house for a week on what it costs the four of us to stay here just one day?
40366Doctor Tremont thinks he can cure him?
40366Happy time adoing_ what_?
40366Has n''t she, Sister?
40366Here, Matilda, kitty, kitty, where are you?
40366How could you give him the impression they were false, when you know very well they grow tight on your own scalp?
40366How long have you been there?
40366How?
40366If you think that_ I_ can fill that position will you tell them about me? 40366 In what way is it different?"
40366Is n''t any one responsible for them?
40366Is n''t it funny the way history repeats itself?
40366Is that all?
40366It amounted to the same thing,persisted Gay, and in answer to Mary''s gasping question,"What_ did_ you say?"
40366Jack,she said hesitatingly,"did you ever hear this verse?
40366Mary,he said, slowly,"would you be surprised if Phil were to come by Bauer on his way to California?"
40366Oh, is he coming again?
40366See?
40366So you''ll never marry a man who has only the shelter of a salary to offer you?
40366Something of a chameleon, eh? 40366 Strong-- and husky and active-- as Phil?"
40366That I''ll never have any one to-- protect? 40366 That was n''t very considerate of us,_ was_ it?"
40366The Reverend Paul Rochester came to call, and where, of all awkward impossible places, do you suppose he found me? 40366 We--"Then he paused as if some sudden recollection warned him to ask,"What have you heard from home lately?"
40366Well, do you think they''ve learned their lesson in one dose, Sammy?
40366Well?
40366What are you going to do with such a wonderful creature when you find it?
40366What do you want to resurrect all those old horrors for? 40366 What for?
40366What for?
40366What is it, Joyce? 40366 Whatever are we going to do?"
40366Whatever can she be writing to_ her_ about?
40366When did you come? 40366 Why?"
40366You ca n''t mean that he-- will ever be able-- to_ walk_?
40366_ We_ do n''t believe in being harsh with children,_ do_ we, Beautiful?
40366_ What you going to teach us first? 40366 _ Where_ did you get all that?"
40366''Where shall we lair to- day?
40366Almost breathless in her eagerness she exclaimed impulsively,"I beg your pardon-- but are n''t you_ Gay_?"
40366Are n''t you afraid?"
40366At what hotel can I find you?
40366Bad news from home?
40366But he was the one to be surprised, for her face paled and she exclaimed, in a voice tense with suppressed excitement,"Oh, is your father going, too?
40366But the puzzle now was, who was good enough and sweet and high and fine enough to follow Lloyd?
40366But you''ll be savage enough by and bye, wo n''t you?
40366But, oh, boy, why did n''t you give me a little warning, so that we might have had time to make ready a''fine, fatted calf?''
40366Did n''t some one say something about the_ scrap- bag_ habit awhile ago?"
40366Did n''t that sound like the children crying or calling?"
40366Do n''t you remember,''there was no room in the inn''for the Child and His mother?
40366Do n''t you want to try it?"
40366Do you know what they call me at home?
40366Forgetting that her presence was unknown to the anxious watcher, she leaned forward through the dark, saying politely,"Can I help you, Madam?"
40366Had n''t I dreamed of that first meeting for weeks-- what we''d say and what she''d say?
40366Has he really consented to attempt the operation?"
40366Have n''t I heard the Warwick Hall seniors talk of her by the hour?
40366Have you been to the house?
40366He started towards her, stopping to say in an aside to Gay,"What''s the little girl''s name?
40366How did you know about--_that_?"
40366How ever did you get on without my seeing you?
40366How long has it been since you''ve seen a sight like this?"
40366How much of a supper are you going to claim, young man?"
40366I wonder what will be the matter with these?"
40366Invariably one of the first questions asked her was,"Anyone sick in your family?"
40366Is Jack worse?"
40366Is n''t that always the way?
40366Is n''t that_ enough_?"
40366Is that why you are so silent this evening?"
40366Is_ that_ what you came to tell me?"
40366Jack laughed and quoted, teasingly:"''What makes the lamb love Mary so?''
40366Mary put her head out of the window again and looked anxiously up and down, whispering in a flutter of nervousness,"Oh,_ why_ does n''t he come?
40366May I occupy this end of the seat?"
40366Norman turned around exclaiming,"Did you see that?
40366Of course I had n''t given him the slightest encouragement, or it would have been different--""Roberta,"interrupted Gay sternly,"how can you say that?
40366Oh, are you_ sure_?"
40366Page 21,"Jask"changed to"Jack"("Well?"
40366Presently Mary turned to the woman, saying,"It''s pretty,_ is n''t_ it?"
40366Shall we tell them''Sandy Claws''sent it?"
40366The next instant the girl was splashing through the water across to Mary, calling,"Excuse me, but_ is_ that a wildcat?
40366Then Jack asked,"Did n''t you have any adventures down in the dining- room?
40366Then with a keen look into Mary''s face, she added, kindly,"Why, you poor child, what''s the matter?
40366Was Jack very much surprised?"
40366Well, at quarter to five, then, I''ll meet you-- where?"
40366What did I tell you?"
40366What do you suppose that square tower is at the other end of town?"
40366What have they done to earn such a name?"
40366What particularly funny things did she say this time?
40366What was it we were talking about?
40366What will the left- out one do?"
40366What_ are_ you going to do with them?"
40366Which way this time?"
40366Who in the world told you anything about that?"
40366Why?
40366Why_ does n''t_ he come?
40366Will you be starting back to Warwick Hall again in September, now that Jack is sure of taking his old position in the mines then?"
40366Wot is it?"
40366Would n''t it be romantic if the friendship that started between them as children should grow into something more?
40366Would n''t it have made a sensation?
40366Yet how could he tell her, when she was all a- giggle and a- dimple and aglow from her romp with Norman?
40366You always have pictured yourself as cutting quite a wide swath on your first appearance in society, have n''t you?
40366You were singing about a Christmas tree, were n''t you?
40366You''re crowded back there, are n''t you, with that dog sitting on your feet?
40366_ Ca n''t_ you, pet?"
40366_ What for?_ WHAT FOR?"
40366_ What for?_ WHAT FOR?"
40366_ What''s that?_"Her glance and question indicated a bundle that her mother had brought in from the back doorstep and laid on the bed.
40366_ Where_ are you going?"
40366_ Wo n''t_ we, Miss Mayry?"
40366scolded Mary affectionately,"How am I ever going to get over this stone wall with you acting so?"
40366will you?"
15852A good guess, also,said Obed,"but we are both now Texans, heart and soul; is it not so?"
15852A visitor? 15852 About what time do you think it is?"
15852Ai n''t you wantin''to know what we''re goin''to do, Ned?
15852All right, Ned?
15852An''wo n''t that be all the better for us?
15852And you may get killed?
15852And you, my brave and resourceful young friend, what do you want to do?
15852Are you empowered to speak for the people of Gonzales?
15852Are you ill, Ned?
15852Ca n''t I go, too?
15852Can you row, Ned?
15852Can you see anything, Ned, in there among them trees an''bushes?
15852Did the Mexicans capture Obed an''me?
15852Did they fire the guns to celebrate the storm?
15852Did you hear that whistle just before Cos and Ugartchea fired?
15852Do I go with your message to the Texans?
15852Do n''t you think we have shaken them off?
15852Do you feel better?
15852Do you mean by weight or by area?
15852Do you mean that you let me go free?
15852Do you mind if I light a cigarette?
15852Do you really mean that you will attempt to steal away?
15852Do you think it is safe to light a fire?
15852Do you think there can yet be any new trick to hold us back?
15852Do you think they will find him?
15852Do you think you could sleep a while, Ned?
15852Fine, is n''t it?
15852Friend,said Obed,"from which state do you come, New Hampshire or Vermont?
15852Has anything happened?
15852Has the day come? 15852 Have n''t you done enough for one night?
15852Have you any further word from the Texan desperadoes, General?
15852Have you explored the hall?
15852He''s the brother- in- law of Santa Anna, is he not?
15852How could a fellow sleep now?
15852How do I know? 15852 How much longer do you think it will be before we leave the tierra caliente?"
15852How''s your pulse, Ned?
15852I can roar an''I can keep on roarin''but what''s the good of roarin''when you ca n''t do any bitin''an''tearin''?
15852I? 15852 Inside it?"
15852Is it a joke that you play upon me? 15852 Is it fighting?"
15852Is n''t he a beauty?
15852Is n''t it late to make an attack?
15852Is not that an entrance fit for a king?
15852Is not this a prospect to enchant? 15852 Is that you, Ned?"
15852Is this imprisonment beginning to tell upon you? 15852 Just hand me that pistol at your belt, will you?"
15852More?
15852My friend,he said in injured but not angry tones,"how can you ask me such a question?
15852Ned,said Obed,"how much dust of the desert do you think I am carrying upon me?
15852Now, what in thunder can he want?
15852Obed,said Ned,"do you think we''re going to have a battle?"
15852Runnin''away?
15852Shall we take the musket?
15852Should n''t we release them? 15852 The Ring Tailed Panther?"
15852Was it a Mexican?
15852Well, boy,said Karnes,"do you find it hard work, this watching and watching and watching for hours and hours?"
15852Well,he said,"why do n''t you fire?"
15852Well?
15852Were to have been?
15852What are they?
15852What became of your uncle and his family?
15852What do you call yourself?
15852What do you think it is?
15852What do you want?
15852What do you want?
15852What does it mean?
15852What happened to you, Don Francisco?
15852What happened?
15852What have you been up to, Urrea?
15852What have you got to say to this, Urrea?
15852What is he, Obed?
15852What is it?
15852What is it?
15852What is that?
15852What is the news in the capital?
15852What is this, Don Francisco?
15852What kind of a flash do you mean?
15852What news did he bring?
15852What of you?
15852What time would you say it is?
15852What was he saying?
15852What was the escape?
15852What will it do for us?
15852When horse and man agree who can stop us?
15852When will we reach the camp?
15852Where is Urrea?
15852Who are you and what do you want?
15852Who are you, stranger?
15852Who are you?
15852Who is he?
15852Who is he?
15852Why did you run like a criminal from the capital? 15852 Why do you do these things?"
15852Why should n''t we?
15852Why should they wish to hold one so young?
15852Why this hurry? 15852 Why, where is Urrea?"
15852Why?
15852Will he follow us?
15852Will the sun ever get through the fog and let us see?
15852Yes, it is a good musket,he said,"but may I inquire if it is your own?"
15852Yes, it would have been much money,he replied,"but what use have I for it?
15852Yes, where in thunder is Don Francisco?
15852You are Ned Fulton an''Obed White, if report tells no lie?
15852You saw him?
15852You say you saw the army of Cos?
15852You will go with us to Goliad and help smite the heathen?
15852You''ve been able to go out in the hall when you chose, then why have n''t you gone away already?
15852Your family?
15852About how old would you say this trail is, Panther?"
15852Ah, what are these?"
15852Almonte had talked with Ned in English, but Cos spoke Spanish:"Why did you run away from the capital?"
15852Am I not President of Mexico?
15852Am I not head of the Mexican army?
15852Am I not here to protect the Texans?
15852And why had they kept up that silent and invincible siege so long?
15852Answer me, why did you slip away like a thief?"
15852Are you game to go with me?"
15852As for my business?"
15852Besides, the boy had a certain pride in the skill, daring and resource with which he had eluded the men of Cos."Did you look inside the pyramid?"
15852But do n''t you think, Ned, that it''s over already?"
15852But that boy, Ned, ai n''t he smart?
15852But, Ned, do you see any sign of forest or high hills ahead?"
15852But, boy, you will promise me not to take any unnecessary or foolish risks?"
15852CHAPTER XV THE FIRST GUN"Well, Ned, it''s sometimes ask and ye shall not receive, is n''t it?"
15852Ca n''t you eat?"
15852Can you wonder, then, Edward Fulton, that we Mexicans do not wish to lose any part of our country?
15852Could he use an oar?
15852Could such a thin force make a successful defense against the armies of Cos and Santa Anna?
15852Could the world hold another place its equal?
15852Did he run away an''leave us?
15852Did n''t that fellow, Urrea, give you the creeps?
15852Did n''t you hear me say so?
15852Did they keep us?
15852Did you hear what I said?"
15852Do n''t you see horses as well as Indians there among the trees?"
15852Do n''t you think so, Jim?"
15852Do you agree with me?"
15852Do you not thank me?"
15852Do you see anybody following us now, Ned?"
15852Do you see them now, Ned?"
15852Do you think we can yet get there in time?"
15852Do you think, and does General Santa Anna think, that the Texans are fools?"
15852Does n''t it make you angry?"
15852For what must they watch, there in the heart of their own country?
15852Had the turn now come?
15852Hark, what is that?"
15852How are we, in a wild country, to protect ourselves from the Comanches, Lipans and other Indians who roam everywhere, robbing and murdering?"
15852How could one talk of friendship and hospitality to those whom he held as prisoners?
15852How dare a few hundred such men undertake to besiege us here in San Antonio?
15852How much farther would they go without being seen or heard?
15852How should he separate them?
15852I suppose you''ve noticed that the other horse has gone lame, too?"
15852If it''s the other way about, Obed, what word shall I send?"
15852If you wished to make these signals to friends, why did you not tell us that you were going to do so?"
15852In case anything should happen to you is there any word you want sent anybody?"
15852Inside of a half hour he would be gone-- to what?
15852Is it not so, boys?"
15852Is it not so?"
15852Is not this a capital of which you and I can well be proud?"
15852Is there any sign of our friends, the enemy, Ned?"
15852Many have believed in propitiating Santa Anna and Mexico, but how can you propitiate a tiger that is about to devour you?
15852Might not the Texans indeed have a glorious future in the land of which this city was the capital?
15852Might not the water palm be found in Mexico also?
15852Ned also reloaded as they galloped and then said:"Do n''t you think they''re dropping back a little?"
15852Ned, is n''t he a terror?
15852Now how do I look?"
15852Now what good can a barber do you?"
15852Now, what do you purpose to do?
15852Now, what do you think, Obed?"
15852Now, will you tell me where you were?"
15852See this?"
15852They were in San Antonio, but what would happen to them there?
15852They were:"Who will go with old Ben Milam into San Antonio?"
15852This is n''t much like San Juan de Ulua is it, Ned?
15852Was fancy to prove too strong, when he had drilled himself so long to see the real?
15852Was he to be played with by the imagination, as if he had no will of his own?
15852Was it possible that Obed and he would fall victims after all?
15852Was not her church giving him shelter and refuge from his enemies?
15852Was the wild and improbable tale now coming true?
15852What are your paltry numbers against us?
15852What could it be but a signal?
15852What if he should be telling the truth after all?
15852What kind of a visitor?"
15852What more do you wish of us?"
15852What were these outlaws to those mighty builders whom the past had swallowed up so completely?
15852What, in truth, was on the other side of the door?
15852Why could not these people say what they meant?
15852Why did n''t they?
15852Why had Obed spoken of coming with them?
15852Why had they hung upon his trail for days and days?
15852Why is it that you did not betray me?
15852Why should Urrea be so particular about the size or height of a tree?
15852Why should such hot days follow such cold nights?
15852Why were these savages seeking his life?
15852Would n''t you say about the same for me?"
15852You could never have reached the Texans alive, and since you could not do so it was better to have come back to us, was it not?"
15852You know what you''re goin''into, of course?"
15852he said,"even if it is cold?"
15852said Obed,"do n''t you hear their tramp there to our left?"
15767Ai n''t it fine?
15767An''are you Texans, too?
15767An''if I''m not pressin''too much,said the Panther, in mock humility,"may I make so bold as to ask our young Solomon what is natural history?"
15767And does he say nothing about our lives and good treatment?
15767And if we should surrender, what then?
15767And none escaped?
15767And that the Mexican force dispatched against the Eastern settlements is much nearer than was supposed?
15767And what did you do?
15767And why is the young señor here?
15767And you expect to remain with them?
15767And your answer?
15767And your reply?
15767Are all the columns provided?
15767Are you already weeping for the conquered?
15767Are you going to fight for Texas?
15767Are you sure?
15767Boys,he asked weakly,"how did you find me?"
15767Boys,he exclaimed,"did you hear that?"
15767Boys,he said,"you know a merchant, John Roylston, who has headquarters in New Orleans, and also offices in St. Louis and Cincinnati?"
15767But are you sure,asked Ned,"that it will be an end of the Texans?
15767But what of the wicked Texans? 15767 By the great horn spoon, who can that feller in front be?
15767Can he make all the signs, an''has he rid the goat?
15767Did he get the order?
15767Did that sound to you like a Mexican whistling?
15767Did you see a boy called Ned Fulton in the Alamo, a tall, handsome fellow with brown hair and gray eyes?
15767Do I mean it? 15767 Do n''t you see?"
15767Do n''t you think,said Ned,"that we ought to find out just exactly what is here, and what this army intends?"
15767Do we follow them down into Mexico?
15767Do we go down to the coast?
15767Do you mean that?
15767Do you mean to say,asked Obed White,"that none of the Texans survived the fall of the Alamo?"
15767Do you see that black speck there, where the sky touches the ground?
15767Do you think Fannin will get through?
15767Do you think I ought to shoot him?
15767Do you think they will get us again?
15767Do you think we can beat them off?
15767Do you want some more rifles, Davy?
15767Does he hereby swear never to tell any secret of ours to Mexican or Indian?
15767Does he swear to obey all our laws and by- laws wherever he may be, and whenever he is put to the test?
15767Does that mean we''re not goin''on?
15767From whom?
15767Goliad?
15767Has it been finally settled?
15767Have n''t you seen Mexicans enough for one day? 15767 Have you any friends here with you?"
15767Have you any specially good riflemen?
15767Have you been anywhere near San Antonio?
15767Have you been close to San Antonio, Simpson?
15767Have you heard anything about the men inside?
15767Have you heard or seen anything?
15767Have you heard when we march?
15767Have you seen the President?
15767How do you know?
15767How is that?
15767How large do you think this force was?
15767How long have you been with them?
15767How much further is it?
15767How?
15767I have heard that the church was abandoned, but where is Ward, and where are his men?
15767In what way did they show it?
15767Is it possible?
15767Is it rescue?
15767Is n''t that a light?
15767Me?
15767Might he not be among the prisoners?
15767Ned,said the Panther,"you know how to go back to the cabin, do n''t you?"
15767Now what are they gathering cavalry out there for? 15767 Now what has disturbed you?"
15767Now what in thunder can they want?
15767Now, what have you been up to, young''un?
15767On what terms?
15767Ought I to see Colonel Travis?
15767Santa Anna himself?
15767Santiago, but was it not, Josà ©?
15767See, is n''t that the top of a mast sticking up above those scrub trees?
15767That''s so,said Obed,"but who''d have thought of this?
15767The Alamo? 15767 The order has been issued that no Texan shall be spared, and do you not see the red flag waving there close by us?"
15767Then the Alamo has not fallen?
15767Then why do n''t you join us, and we three will turn into four?
15767Then why talk to us about it?
15767Then you still mean to fight against us?
15767Wa''al, then, what do you have to say?
15767We attack about three days from now, do we not?
15767We''re mighty glad to see you,said Crockett,"but we ai n''t welcomin''you to no picnic, I reckon you understand that, do n''t you, Jim Smith?"
15767Well, Ned, I s''pose you can make a purty good guess what this means?
15767Well, they''ve got plenty of faults, but you have n''t heard of them buyin''their lives at the price of a comrade''s, have you?
15767What are they?
15767What are you going to do now?
15767What did he say?
15767What did you do with the Panther and Obed?
15767What do you hear from the Alamo, Smith?
15767What do you mean by a service now?
15767What do you mean?
15767What do you say they are?
15767What do you think he wants?
15767What do you think it is, Panther?
15767What do you think of him?
15767What do you think we''d better do, Panther?
15767What do you want?
15767What do you wish us to do?
15767What does General Santa Anna demand of us?
15767What has become of King?
15767What is it that you wish to say to us?
15767What is it?
15767What is our best plan, Panther?
15767What is the matter with you?
15767What is your name?
15767What luck?
15767What matters it?
15767What shall we do?
15767What was he saying, Ned?
15767What was it that you were saying about the general?
15767What was that?
15767What will they do next?
15767What would you say?
15767What''s that?
15767What''s the use of our hurryin''?
15767When are we to be released? 15767 Where are your Texans now?"
15767Where did you get it?
15767Which is to be first, Davy?
15767Who are you?
15767Who are you?
15767Why are the Texans so foolish as to oppose the great Santa Anna, the most illustrious and powerful of all generals and rulers? 15767 Why are you so anxious to have Roylston?"
15767Why are you walking here?
15767Why did n''t you think of whistling the tune sooner?
15767Why did n''t you?
15767Why do n''t you speak up?
15767Why not make it a whole city with a fine big hotel right in the center of it?
15767Why were you running away in the dark?
15767Why, what is it?
15767Will you go along, too?
15767Will,exclaimed the Panther,"have you gone plum''crazy?
15767You are Texans and friends?
15767You feel that way about it, do you?
15767You like it here?
15767You say that you were in the Alamo, and that all the defenders have fallen except you?
15767You see it, do n''t you? 15767 You think that we can break through?"
15767You think, then, we should retreat?
15767You''re goin''toward the Alamo?
15767You?
15767Your name?
15767Ai n''t that so, Hank?"
15767An''may I ask, ma''am, how you come to be here?"
15767And even should they miss, what chance do you think you have here?"
15767And it can be no other army than that of Cos.""Right again, ai n''t he, Obed?"
15767Are they yet ready to surrender their throats to our knives?
15767Are you game enough to go, Ned?
15767Are you sure, Ned, that you can not go with me and bring your friend Allen, too?
15767But had he failed them?
15767But he pressed his lips firmly together for a moment and then said to Ned:"Keep this to yourself, will you?
15767But who can prevail against the great Santa Anna?
15767Could such as Crockett and Bowie and Travis be blind to their danger?
15767Could these men, heroes of a thousand dangers, have really given up?
15767Crockett?"
15767Did they not know that he would come and crush them, every one?"
15767Did you ever see anything go as slow as they do?"
15767Did you see anything besides a lot of Mexican vaqueros, fuddled with liquor and sound asleep?"
15767Did you see that figure passin''between us an''the cabin?"
15767Do n''t you see her, that big, stout cabin ahead?"
15767Do n''t; you know us?"
15767Do we stay?"
15767Do you hear anything, Ned?"
15767Do you notice, Will, that it''s beginning to cloud up again?
15767Do you speak Spanish?"
15767Do you wish it?"
15767Even if he got through, how could he ever bring Roylston and the relief force in time?
15767For Heaven''s sake, Mr. Panther, the state of affairs ai n''t so bad as that, is it?"
15767How could I have continued dealings with such a man?
15767How could that be?
15767How could you get out?"
15767How did you ever happen to do it?"
15767How far off would you say that light is, Panther?"
15767How is the new republic?"
15767How many of the Texans are left?
15767How were Crockett and Bowie?
15767How you feelin''now, Ned?"
15767If the mine was ready, why did they not set the match?
15767If they saw him they could easily ride him down, and what chance would he have with only four bullets in his pouch?
15767Is it not so, Fernando?"
15767Is n''t that so, boys?"
15767It was like Napoleon on the night before Austerlitz, and what was he but the Napoleon of the New World?
15767Listen to that beautiful song, wo n''t you?"
15767Look at these bones, will you?
15767Many replied yes, but then a voice spoke out of the darkness:"What of the wounded, Colonel?
15767Not to give up in the sense of surrender, but to expect death fighting?
15767Now what do you think, Ned?"
15767Or rather, what chance would he have if the pouch contained a hundred?
15767Roylston?"
15767Roylston?"
15767Shall we do it?"
15767Shall we open fire, Colonel?"
15767Thar, do you hear that trumpet blowin''ag''in?
15767The music ceased presently and one of the men said to Ned:"What company?"
15767They were all good comrades together, and what more was to be asked?
15767They''ll sweep the country clean, will they?
15767Wake me up about midnight, wo n''t you?"
15767Was it likely that his friends would ever find this paper, or, if finding it, was it likely that any one of them could ever obtain his inheritance?
15767Was it possible that every man, overpowered by fatigue, had fallen into slumber at such a moment?
15767We do n''t have much chance to travel right now, do we, Bee- Hunter?"
15767Well, what of it?
15767Were other tragedies to be added to that of the Alamo?
15767Were they asleep?
15767Were you with Fannin?"
15767What chance had men without an ounce of food or a drop of water to withstand a siege?
15767What could men without ammunition do against many times their number, well armed?
15767What did a single captive amount to, anyhow?
15767What did you do in the storm, Ned?"
15767What do you say, Ned?"
15767What do you say, Obed?"
15767What do you say, boys, all of you?"
15767What do you say, boys?
15767What do you think about it, Hank?"
15767What do you think we can do, Ned?"
15767What do you want?"
15767What more could be asked by two simple peasants of small wants?
15767What were they doing inside now?
15767When do we get our parole?"
15767Whence had come these shots?
15767Where are Fannin and his men now?
15767Where are the defenders of Refugio?
15767Where were the fair Mexican promises, in accordance with which they had yielded?
15767Why did the Mexican army remain awake so late?
15767Why do you not go north into the states where life is safe?"
15767Why should I not?
15767Why should they be deprived of their part in the festival to follow up a prisoner?
15767Why should they guard a boy when everybody else was getting ready to be merry?
15767Why should they?
15767Why should they?
15767Why should we retreat?"
15767Why was Urrea doing everything, and why were his superiors standing by, evidently a prey to some great nervous strain?
15767Wo n''t you do what I say and slip out of the Alamo while there''s still a chance?"
15767Would his comrades and he ever escape from those walls?
15767Would you let miserable Mexican ponies overtake you?
15767You survived that by a miracle, but where are all your companions in that siege?
15767asked the Panther,"if we told you that Santa Anna an''7,000 men were on the Rio Grande ready to march on San Antonio?"
15767said Ned, pointing to the west,"or is it a firefly or something of the kind?"
22140A flock, did you say?
22140A question?
22140Ai n''t Steve got a jug of molasses? 22140 Ai n''t honey for mas too?"
22140Ai n''t them bones plain enough to see? 22140 And anyway, how are we going to get along without them?
22140And did n''t the other sheep want to adopt him?
22140And did you succeed in doing as he wished?
22140And hear the coyotes? 22140 And how about the ones who had mothers?
22140And that is what you mean by his being peculiar?
22140And we got them all in, did n''t we?
22140And were you all expecting it?
22140And what did he say?
22140And what will you do?
22140And where is he now?
22140And who else do you think is sick?
22140And yet he lives there?
22140Are we going to have nice neighbors?
22140Are you fond of piano music?
22140Are you going out there?
22140Are you good in geography?
22140But how about this woman?
22140But they do have to learn, do n''t they?
22140But what is a man going to do about_ that_? 22140 But,"she insisted, after a pause,"you could n''t have carried more than those four, could you?"
22140Can you play the piano?
22140Did the bees know that you have n''t got any little girl?
22140Did you ever have any trouble with him?
22140Did you hear whether any one went with him?
22140Did you say this was yesterday?
22140Did you? 22140 Do n''t you think it is a pretty good state?"
22140Do you like beans?
22140Do you remember what we studied about gravity?
22140Do you suppose he might think it wrong for us to meddle with his property?
22140Do you think maybe they would think our chimbly was an old hollow tree? 22140 Do_ them_ things go on it?"
22140Does he know anything?
22140Does n''t your ma make them with fringe on?
22140Extra herder or two?
22140Good- morning, Miss Janet--he used the Southern form of address--"are you all ready to leave us?"
22140Has Miss Alice got back yet?
22140Has he shipped yet?
22140Has little Johnnie Martin got his curls cut yet?
22140Has n''t a lamb got to have some milk?
22140Have you got a dishpan?
22140He did n''t usually tell her everything?
22140How did the woman come to be out there?
22140How did you come to know the names of them all?
22140How did you make out, Miss Janet?
22140How does it come that you did n''t go to school to- day, Susie?
22140How in the world could I get a stone? 22140 How long do you suppose that man will take-- at the farthest?"
22140How long has he been gone?
22140How long will it be, Mr. Brown, before everything is running that way?
22140How many lambs might there be in the next day or two, if they really started coming?
22140How much would you give?
22140How''s things doing down home? 22140 I do n''t suppose, then, that a lamb can get right up and follow the flock?"
22140I guess there is n''t any head or foot to this, is there?
22140Is Steve Brown at home?
22140Is he for sale?
22140Is he? 22140 Is the Colonel home?"
22140It looks simple enough, does n''t it?
22140It only takes them a few minutes to learn standing up?
22140Lambs are really quite dependent upon human care, then, are n''t they?
22140Mr. Brown,she said sternly,"why did you not tell me of this before?"
22140Mr. Hicks,she said, turning her head in his direction,"I believe you understand about the rockery?"
22140No?
22140No?
22140Oh!--another little lamb?
22140Oh, did she?
22140People spoil everything, do n''t they? 22140 Really, it is quite a problem, is n''t it?"
22140Really?
22140Shall I go over with you?
22140That examiner is a kind of a cocky little rooster, is n''t he?
22140The lamb band?
22140The railroad''s getting real extravagant, ai n''t it?
22140Then Harding did n''t quit on his own hook?
22140Then you have a great deal to do?
22140Then, why should she tell him that?
22140There is really a great deal to think of, is n''t there?
22140They always did tell her, then?
22140Was he stubborn?
22140Was he sure that was Steve Brown?
22140We might as well get it while we''re right here, do n''t you think? 22140 Well, do n''t you see if the chimney was all full of honey he would get it all over his clothes?
22140Well, then, could n''t I be of some assistance-- if I stay?
22140Well, then; while they are answering each other, does she go to the lamb or does the lamb go to her?
22140What are you going to do to- morrow?
22140What do you think of it, Al?
22140What do you think of it, Mrs. Plympton? 22140 What do you think of it?"
22140What do you think?
22140What have they got?
22140What hurt does that do?
22140What is it that''s ailin''them? 22140 What kind of questions does that fellow ask when he examines people?"
22140What time is it?
22140What was it?
22140What will we do? 22140 What!--right now?"
22140What''s cattle bringing now?
22140What''s doing in town? 22140 What''s robber lambs?"
22140What''s your hurry, Susie? 22140 What?
22140Where at?
22140Where did you hear that, Kitty?
22140Who had him?
22140Who went up to Chicago with them?
22140Who''s got what?
22140Whose sheep''s he herdin''?
22140Why did n''t we all say something?
22140Why did n''t you_ say_ you were nearly dead?
22140Why did n''t_ you_ say something?
22140Why, no; what is it?
22140Why,exclaimed Janet,"does_ he_ think of joining the Rangers?"
22140Why-- do you know?
22140Will you be going back to Ohio, possibly?
22140Yes; but is n''t he unusually smart?
22140You did? 22140 You like Texas?"
22140You say she wore a felt hat? 22140 You say she wore a white collar and cuffs and a black felt hat?"
22140Your father knew Houston, did n''t he?
22140_ Did n''t I tell you Ed Curtis saw the same woman?_said Todd, now growing assertive.
22140_ I thought I ought to tell you._Why ought?
22140''But you do n''t expect to go cussing into that cemetery, do you?''
22140A man has got to use language to oxen, and what is he going to say?
22140A man would carry them back to the corral; why not she?
22140And all about his mother?"
22140And all over_ her_ clothes?
22140And an extra tail?"
22140And did he do her justice?
22140And if a horse was dragging a stake- rope would n''t Tuck Reedy know it?"
22140And if there was anybody else around would n''t they be eating supper with them?
22140And maybe about his house?"
22140And of course stones are not very plentiful around here--""Why do n''t you go and take some out of Steve Brown''s rockery?
22140And these wild range cattle; how might they take the presence of a woman, never having seen one before?
22140And was light- haired?"
22140And white legs?
22140Anything new there?"
22140Anything new?"
22140Are the men folks gone somewhere?"
22140Are you partial to orphans?"
22140Are you ready for the question?"
22140Brown?"
22140Brown?"
22140Brown?"
22140But why do we speak of stones?
22140Could n''t she see that this lamb had a white head?
22140Could we get you to haul them back for us?"
22140Did he do anything that was n''t on the square?"
22140Did he let them understand how well- bred and refined and good- looking she was?
22140Did n''t he let you pass?"
22140Did you ever hear about the time I hauled that tombstone for him?"
22140Did you see it?"
22140Did you see the dog throw him?"
22140Do n''t you think, Mr. Brown, that that man is quite certain to get back sometime to- day?"
22140Do you mean that_ now_--for keeps?"
22140Do you suppose, Mr. Hicks, that he will have any difficulty finding that horse and getting it back here?
22140Do you wonder that sheep- herders go crazy?
22140Does n''t it seem funny for a person to go through a formality like that just because-- well, just because?"
22140Going where?"
22140Has n''t Steve got any sweetenin''?"
22140Have you got all through with your work?"
22140He does n''t look exactly natural, does he?
22140Hicks?"
22140How can_ he_ help it?"
22140How could Tuck Reedy tell she was alone just by the light of the fire?
22140How did the bees come to go down your chimbly?"
22140How did you know so quick that I was back?
22140How far might it be now?
22140How long had she been waiting for him?
22140How long?
22140How would you like to have your curls all full of molasses?"
22140How''s Susie getting along these days?"
22140How''s your ma?
22140I do n''t see any use in waiting a long time, do you?"
22140I do n''t suppose those stones are in any particular hurry, are they?"
22140I do n''t suppose, Miss Janet, there is any_ doubt_ that you will pass?"
22140I do n''t suppose--""Why, are you in some sort of trouble?"
22140I say, what have they_ got_?"
22140I wonder when Jonas Hicks will get back?"
22140If the whole surrounding country went"cross- lots"over his land, there was no objection; what difference did it make?
22140If there was no danger at all, and he felt that she would be afraid, why did he change his mind?
22140If they came and stopped your chimney all up with honey, how would Santa Claus ever get down?
22140If you were teaching just ten or twelve children, would n''t it strike you as rather foolish to call the roll every morning?
22140In what way?"
22140Is she well?"
22140It is a very beautiful day, is n''t it?"
22140It was like offering final proof that he had not admired her flowers, really; and what was his defense?
22140Now what should she do?
22140Now, how do you suppose those plants ever_ knew_ I was coming?
22140Plympton-- re- e- eally?"
22140Possibly, if the truth were known, Lot''s wife desired to be turned into a pillar of salt-- who can tell?
22140Suspicion?
22140The one that stepped in the sugar bowl?"
22140Then how shall she set safe bounds?
22140They become-- what do you call it-- extinguished?"
22140Were you sure that you could find your way all alone?"
22140Were you watching for me so that you could bring over the pie?"
22140What I mean is,_ will_ you marry me?
22140What could he be doing down there?
22140What did he do?"
22140What do you expect of a horse that is just out of the poor- house?
22140What does that stand for, Susie?"
22140What had been his history up to the time that had happened?
22140What might this mean?
22140What sort of a certificate did that little-- examiner-- give you?"
22140What sort of man was he?
22140What thinking?
22140What was the matter with the man who was running this part of the world?
22140What woman?"
22140What''s the use feeling when the package is open?"
22140Whenever she thought of bringing the story to an end, her mind confronted her with the question, What next?
22140Which part of that horizon had she come from-- what point in space?
22140Which way should she turn, or how conduct herself?
22140Who gave you the dolly?"
22140Why then had he found any difficulty in doing it with her?
22140Will some one make a motion to that effect?"
22140Will you find a place to sleep?
22140Will you put honey on their pancakes?"
22140Wo n''t you have some more coffee?"
22140Wo n''t you stay a while and have a piece of pie?"
22140Would it be all right if they had to stay out on the prairie till the next day?"
22140Would not any one naturally have done so?
22140Would you?"
22140You got supper, did n''t you?
22140You surely ca n''t carry them all?"
22140Your father was a pioneer, was n''t he?"
22140_ Why had he not informed her of this before_?
22186A bridge? 22186 A man?"
22186Ai n''t I suffered enough already? 22186 Alone?"
22186Am I right, leftenant?
22186And Dan was with you?
22186And do you think I did wrong, father?
22186And have you seen Carlos Martine since?
22186And how have you been, Pompey?
22186And what are they going to do next?
22186And what brought you here?
22186And what is that?
22186And where are they?
22186And which way did he go?
22186And who are the soldiers you speak about?
22186And you saw him?
22186And you, Alton?
22186Another signal to attack?
22186Any alarm, Poke?
22186Anyway,he added, with a peculiar smile,"do you believe in giving up your arms?"
22186Are all of the mustangs safe?
22186Are they coming, Poke?
22186Are they really coming?
22186Are we attacked by Indians?
22186Are you a Mexican army officer?
22186Are you after them? 22186 Are you alone?"
22186Are you and Ralph safe?
22186Are you goin''to give me dat drink?
22186Are you going to let him go without doing anything?
22186Are you hit?
22186Are you much hurt, Readwell?
22186Are you sure?
22186Artillery?
22186Broke jail?
22186But how came you to be up?
22186But what are you doing here, and why do you wish to make me a prisoner? 22186 But what if Santa Anna send out a large army to crush us?"
22186But what of Ralph?
22186But what of money in the desk?
22186But what of the dead-- were the things in their pockets buried with them?
22186But why ca n''t we escape?
22186But will they hold a mere boy like that?
22186Ca n''t we catch him, Poke? 22186 Can I do anything for you?"
22186Can it be a camp- fire?
22186Can we get back to them?
22186Can you bring down a bird on the wing?
22186Can you catch him?
22186Can you make out anything yet?
22186Can you see anything?
22186Can you swim with that wounded shoulder?
22186Come ashore, or we''ll shoot you; do you hear?
22186Did anybody make a hunt for him?
22186Did de sodgers git away?
22186Did you hear that, lad?
22186Did you see Big Foot?
22186Do I? 22186 Do they know that you saw them?"
22186Do ye wonder I''m a single man?
22186Do you believe it is true that Colonel Fannin has been defeated?
22186Do you expect me to believe you,--after what has happened here, and after that affair of the deer?
22186Do you know him?
22186Do you know the way to Bexar?
22186Do you know why I came this way?
22186Do you really think he''ll do such a barbarous thing, Poke?
22186Do you see anything of father?
22186Do you see dat?
22186Do you think he leaped into the water?
22186Do you think he''ll bring the others down on us now?
22186Do you think they will be caught?
22186Do you think this leads to the river?
22186Do you think we will win out?
22186Father, did you hear that?
22186From whence do you come?
22186Goin''ter starve me to death?
22186Gone this way?
22186Gone?
22186Got scared? 22186 Ha, boy, are you alone?"
22186Have you got your lasso ready?
22186Have you heard anything more of the Mexicans?
22186He come back soon?
22186Henry, are you badly hurt?
22186How are you?
22186How can I help myself?
22186How can they be patriotic, and follow such a man as Santa Anna, who is continually leading all Mexico by the nose? 22186 How did you come to go after them?"
22186How long do you suppose it will be before father gets back?
22186How many are there, all told?
22186How many of them do you think?
22186I heard no shot; did you?
22186I wonder what became of the mustang, and where Ralph and the ponies are?
22186I wonder what started her up?
22186I wonder where it runs to?
22186If there is trouble, can I rely upon you to give me warning?
22186In war- paint?
22186Indian squaw in dare?
22186Is Martine still at San Felipe?
22186Is anything missing?
22186Is it all right?
22186Is it father?
22186Is that you?
22186Is yo''ready to talk?
22186Is your gun all right?
22186It''s him, eh, Dan?
22186Man or beast?
22186Mexican artillery?
22186Mexican soldiers?
22186Now what did you do with the papers?
22186Of course they followed you?
22186Oh, will you?
22186Poke, what had we best do?
22186Ralph is missing,put in Lieutenant Radbury; and then added, quickly,"Do you know anything of him, Big Foot?"
22186Right away?
22186Shall I fire a signal?
22186Shall we allow that?
22186Shall we go too?
22186Shot?
22186Sick, eh? 22186 So it is morning?"
22186So you are glad to see me, eh?
22186So you are willing to talk now, Stiger?
22186Supposing I refuse to give up the deer?
22186That''s true, Ralph, but do you want to stay here long enough to skin him?
22186The other boy? 22186 The question is, what next?
22186The same?
22186Then I must be almost as far from Bexar?
22186Then tell me why you tried to blow up my cabin?
22186Then they are together?
22186Then what are you going to do, if the greasers demand your guns and pistols, as they demanded that cannon?
22186Then why not take a trip to San Antonio and find him?
22186Then you did n''t kill him?
22186Then you do not know where he is?
22186Then you saw more of them?
22186They are having a lively tussle, are n''t they?
22186They may-- Hello, what''s this coming along the trail? 22186 Think it?
22186To locate the greasers?
22186To where?
22186Too late?
22186Was I asleep? 22186 We missed it altogether on the white mustang and on Carlos Martine, did n''t we?"
22186Well, if we do fight''em and obtain our liberty, what then?
22186Well, it is not mine, so why should I care? 22186 Well, we''re going to keep the regular muskets and army stores, are n''t we?"
22186Well, what are ye going to do?
22186Well, who do you imagine the other man was? 22186 What are ye a- doin''here?"
22186What are you doing there?
22186What are you going to do with me?
22186What became of the man, Pompey?
22186What brought you here, boy?
22186What did you see?
22186What do I think?
22186What do ye mean, leftenant?
22186What do you make of this, father?
22186What do you mean?
22186What do you suppose he was going to do, if he had gotten close to the cabin?
22186What does this mean?
22186What for? 22186 What has been stolen?"
22186What have you done with them?
22186What if we ca n''t get out this way?
22186What if we starve you out?
22186What is it, Chester?
22186What is it, Dan?
22186What of the white mustang?
22186What of the wounded?
22186What papers do you mean?
22186What shall we do?
22186What soldiers?
22186What you want now?
22186What''s gone?
22186What''s that, Dan?
22186What''s that?
22186What''s up?
22186When was this?
22186When?
22186Where are the soldiers?
22186Where did ye spot the critter?
22186Where is he now?
22186Where is he?
22186Where little brudder Raf?
22186Where to?
22186Where was he, Dan?
22186Where white boy''s fadder?
22186Where? 22186 White boy have no medicine for Wolf Ear?"
22186Who are you?
22186Who calls?
22186Who fired the shot?
22186Who is the government of Mexico?
22186Who knows but what we may meet some Indians on the way?
22186Why did n''t you leave me alone from the start?
22186Why, Ralph, was that you I heard shooting? 22186 Will it do much harm?"
22186Will it ever be as civilised, Dan? 22186 Will you go back with us?"
22186Will you join the army, father?
22186With you?
22186You are certain of this?
22186You are certain?
22186You are not real sure it was an Indian?
22186You are quite sure you are alone?
22186You are quite well?
22186You are struck?
22186You are sure on that? 22186 You are telling me the truth?"
22186You are, Poke; do you know what it was?
22186You got the deer, what more do you want?
22186You have had nothing, eh?
22186You surrender?
22186You think the Indians really intend to attack us?
22186You''ll fight first, wo n''t you?
22186You''re after that Hank Stiger, I take it?
22186And what of father?"
22186Are either of you wounded?"
22186At what?"
22186But did you notice how wet the passageway is getting?"
22186But father-- do you know anything of him?"
22186But the question is, which way shall we turn next?"
22186But what is he doing away out here?"
22186But what''s the trouble?
22186But why must we both be armed?
22186Could some wild animal have carried him off?"
22186Dan, he''s got to give it up, has n''t he?"
22186Did he have a fight with any of the Indians?"
22186Did you have any money in the desk?"
22186Do you believe he''ll come back to make more trouble?"
22186Do you know anything of my father?"
22186Do you suppose they are driving off the cattle on the range?"
22186Do you think the Indians are close by?"
22186Has anything happened here while we have been away?"
22186How had we best get at him?"
22186How in the world did you come here?"
22186How is it up thar, Ralph?"
22186How long have we been here?"
22186I wonder what Santa Anna will do next?"
22186Is he alone?"
22186Is the gun loaded?"
22186Now what do you think of that?"
22186See that black line over yonder?
22186Surely you do n''t count me a prisoner of war?"
22186Then why did n''t you say so afore?"
22186Then you have seen my brother?"
22186Then, as the men formed to march, the single fifer struck up the popular tune of the day,"Will You Come to the Bower?"
22186Was his brother lost in the timber, or had he fallen in with the Indians?
22186What are you doing here?"
22186What can that mean?"
22186What government?"
22186What have you been doing,--eating and drinking too much?"
22186What if Santa Anna storms the place some night, with several thousand men?
22186What in thunder are you doing out here?"
22186What was he going to do with that?"
22186When was the robbery committed?"
22186Where Big Foot find Good Dan if have news for him?"
22186Where are we?"
22186Where did your report come from?"
22186Where is Ralph?"
22186Where is father?
22186Where is he?"
22186Where?"
22186Who goes?"
22186Why, then, did they remain?
22186Would he ever see those loved ones again?
22186You have no idea where he is now?"
22186You remember the signal I gave you?"
22186_ I shall never surrender, or retreat!_"Could anything be more unflinchingly patriotic than that?
22186ai n''t you Amos Radbury''s youngster?"
22186and is it really you?"
22186he said, in guttural tones, meaning"How do you do?"
22186what are you doing with that deer?"
22057A man on a strawberry roan, yuh say? 22057 A short fella gave yuh that?
22057Afraid to draw like a man?
22057And Jack Hahdy?
22057And the next thing?
22057And what,asked the governor pleasantly,"do you expect me to do?"
22057And yo''re backin''thet statement up-- how?
22057Are those the don''s men?
22057Are yo''all right, Tip?
22057Are yo''all right, son?
22057Are yo''interested in the San Felipe district?
22057Are yo''sure,said Kid Wolf with deadly quietness,"that the moon wo n''t be red?"
22057Are you the hombre that caused all the stir back in San Felipe?
22057Are yuh goin''to return that money?
22057Are yuh hintin''that I''m a crook?
22057Are yuh hurt?
22057Are yuh seein''mah bet?
22057Are yuh starin''at me?
22057Are yuh tryin''to mind my business?
22057As a spy?
22057Bill,he muttered,"did n''t yuh hear somethin''?"
22057Boys, will yuh take me for a friend?
22057Boys,he asked slowly,"do yuh want jobs?"
22057But supposin''yore I O U ai n''t good?
22057But who ever heard o''gettin''cattle out o''Old Mexico after they''ve once been driven in?
22057But why should yuh want my claim in San Simon?
22057But yo''re not goin''?
22057By the way, can yo''tell me where I can find a Mistah Mullhall, a Mistah Anton, a Mistah Lathum, a Mistah Wise, and a Mistah Steve Stacy?
22057Ca n''t they see I''m a friend?
22057Can we beat''em to Mexican Tanks?
22057Did yo''offah ten thousand dollahs fo''the S Bar Ranch?
22057Did yuh shoot the big brute?
22057Did yuh tear the hide offn him? 22057 Do we mind?"
22057Do yo''know this man?
22057Do yo''mind if I throw in with yo''?
22057Do yo''want to sell, ma''am?
22057Do yuh have business with me?
22057Excuse me, sir,said the bartender,"but yore drink?"
22057Guess yuh''ll find some plenty bad ones here in Skull County, eh, Kid?
22057Has n''t she any relatives?
22057Has this four- flusher been up to his tricks again?
22057Have yuh been in Skull long? 22057 Honestly?"
22057How about lettin''us go, too?
22057How about those four by the fire?
22057How do yuh expect yore hoss to get to us?
22057How far is it to his headquartahs at Agua Frio?
22057How far to Mexican Tanks?
22057How long have yo''been like this?
22057How many cards?
22057How many men did he take with him?
22057How much did Majah Stovah pay yo''to quit?
22057How would yuh like,tempted the man who had styled himself Gentleman John,"to make a hundred dollars a day?"
22057How''d yo''like to make some spahks fly yo''selves?
22057I trust yo''are in good health?
22057If-- if I sign, yo''ll let me go?
22057Is anything wrong?
22057Is it The Terror?
22057Is it words yo''want,drawled the Texan, drawing up his snowy mount,"or bullets?"
22057Is that so?
22057Is there any chance o''help?
22057Is there anything I can do?
22057Is this-- ah-- Gentleman John the right sort of hombre?
22057Just who is he?
22057Know those mahks?
22057May I ask,spoke The Kid softly,"why yo''have reduced yo''offah?"
22057Modoc,he drawled,"what color will the moon be to- night?"
22057No?
22057No?
22057No?
22057Now will yo''believe me,asked the Texan,"when I tell yo''that Blizzahd''s a smaht hoss?"
22057Pahdon me, ma''am,he drawled,"but is theah anything I can do fo''yo'', aside from bein''a tahget in yo''gun practice?"
22057Perfect place fer an ambush, ai n''t it?
22057Quit?
22057Quià © n sabe?
22057Really, Dave,he drawled,"do yo''think I''d let Garvey get away with that?
22057See those black dots against the sky over there? 22057 Señor Wolf, to show your good faith, will you be kind enough to lay your weapons on my desk?
22057So yo''have her where yo''want her, have yo''?
22057Still set on it?
22057The choice?
22057The hat? 22057 The what?"
22057Then why are you here, fool?
22057Then,asked the governor slowly,"you refuse, señor?"
22057This Majah Stovah-- is he an army officer?
22057This upstart, or me? 22057 Well, are yuh gettin''in the game?"
22057Well,the ranchman''s words came slowly,"what do yuh want with me?"
22057What about it, men? 22057 What are yuh doin''?"
22057What are yuh fumblin''at in there? 22057 What can I do fo''yo''?"
22057What color will the moon be to- night?
22057What could we do against sixty Apaches?
22057What did I ever-- ever do to deserve this happiness?
22057What did yore note mean?
22057What do yo''say, Blizzahd?
22057What do you mean?
22057What do yuh want here?
22057What do yuh want with me?
22057What does that signify?
22057What good is it to know?
22057What have yo''?
22057What is it to yuh?
22057What makes yo''think so?
22057What name did yuh say?
22057What rivah was that yo''crossed a few days ago?
22057What yuh do about it?
22057What''s happened to yore gun?
22057What''s on the program?
22057What''s on yore mind?
22057What''s the idea now?
22057What''s the matter,''Tip''?
22057What''s the trouble?
22057What''s up, Garvey?
22057What''s yo''name?
22057What''s yore little game? 22057 What''s yore message?"
22057What''s yore plan, Kid?
22057Wheah are yo''headed fo''now?
22057Wheah''s the guard?
22057Wheah''s yo''brother now?
22057Where are you goin'', Kid?
22057Where is he?
22057Where yuh goin'', Kid?
22057Where''s it from?
22057Where''s the other men-- the two riders on duty with Joe?
22057Where''s yore credentials?
22057Who are you?
22057Who are yuh goin''to believe?
22057Who are yuh, and what do yuh want?
22057Who did this thing?
22057Who do yo''think I am, ma''am?
22057Who in blazes are you?
22057Who in blazes are you?
22057Who is thet with yuh?
22057Who is this man?
22057Who suggested that yo''quit?
22057Who-- who are yuh?
22057Whoever heard of a gunman making that much honestly?
22057Why did yo''shoot that man?
22057Why, where are yuh goin''?
22057Why,asked Kid Wolf slowly,"do they call that hombre''Blacksnake''?"
22057Why,he asked calmly,"should I mutilate this po''man''s hat?"
22057Will he make it?
22057Will the señor have his eyes bandaged? 22057 Will they give us breakfast?"
22057Will yo''have to sell the Diamond D now?
22057Will yo''kindly stick up yo''hands, gentlemen,the Texan drawled,"while yo''re explainin''?"
22057With me?
22057Wo n''t the law help yo''?
22057Wo n''t yuh take a half interest in the S Bar, Kid?
22057Yes?
22057Yes?
22057Yo''know who the rustlers were?
22057You will have men there to receive them?
22057You''re surely not through already, are you, boys?
22057Your business with me, señor?
22057Your name, señor?
22057Yuh admit yuh marked them cards?
22057Yuh wo n''t come along?
22057Ah, did n''t I tell you that the Americans are bluffers, like their game of poker?
22057And The Terror himself?
22057And now where was the wagon train?
22057And the only good cattle lands for a hundred miles are just south of theah, is n''t that so?"
22057And what plainsman of that day had n''t?
22057And who are yuh?"
22057And you?"
22057Are yo''game?"
22057Are yo''signin''?"
22057As Kid Wolf came closer to the fire, he was hailed in turn:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057Blindfolded, yes?"
22057But do yuh know what was in that powder keg yuh used?"
22057But in that case, what would become of the wagon train, with no one to save them from The Terror?
22057But wheah''s the othah two?"
22057But where were the longhorns now?
22057But, tell me, who are you-- to do this for a stranger, a woman you''ve never seen before?
22057Can yo''stick it out till then?"
22057Could his friend, the gallant Texan, have met death?
22057Cruelty might lurk there, perhaps, or friendliness-- who could say?
22057Do n''t yo''know what I did while the rest of yo''were tippin''back the stagecoach?
22057Do you wish to buy a ranch, señor?
22057Ees it not cheap, amigo?"
22057Enjoyin''a little game o''cahds?"
22057Expect to stay hereabouts for a while?"
22057First o''all, do any of yuh know Kid Wolf?"
22057Had The Terror already struck?
22057Had his man, Josà ©, forgotten to lock the gate?
22057Had the south herd gone the way of the other?
22057Harry Thomas finally broke it:"How did yuh know me?
22057He leaned across the table to whisper:"How about all that money in that poker game down in Mariposa?
22057He was more startled still, however, when Modoc whispered in a voice just loud enough for him to hear:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057How d''ye know I''m a sheriff?"
22057How much do yo''suppose the S Bar is wo''th, Anton?"
22057If he had made a friend, was that friend afraid to speak to him?
22057If the latter, what had he meant by his strange expression:"What color will the moon be to- night?"
22057If yuh don''t----""And if we do n''t?"
22057In the morning?
22057Is it a bargain?"
22057Is it true yo''re goin''there to run the place for the old woman?"
22057Is n''t there any law heah?"
22057Is theah a sho''t cut to his ranch?"
22057May I help yo''?"
22057No?
22057Now what''s yore answer?"
22057Or did he mean anything at all?
22057Or have you bought?
22057Or perhaps the señor does not know the Spanish?"
22057Or would his execution be delayed, perhaps for days?
22057Pahdon, but have n''t yo''forgotten somethin''?"
22057Quià © n sabe?"
22057Savvy?
22057Savvy?"
22057Savvy?"
22057Savvy?"
22057Shall we stop heah, Blizzahd?"
22057The mortgage----""Who would yo''sell to?"
22057The people of the wagon train answered his shout:"Shore yo''wo n''t go on with us?"
22057The town of Mariposa lies just over the bordah, am I right?
22057Was Quiroz playing a crafty game?
22057Was he now seeing it for the last time?
22057Was he really insane, or was it just obstinacy?
22057Was it a trap of some kind?
22057Was it here that he was to go?
22057Was it his imagination, or was a look flashed between the half- breed and several of the men in the room?
22057Was the entire ranch personnel in San Felipe?
22057Was the man insane?
22057Was the wagon train being led to its doom by a madman?
22057Was there a note in that paper ball?
22057What business is it of his?"
22057What can I do now?"
22057What deep plot was behind that seemingly meaningless query?
22057What did Modoc mean by his low- voiced, mysterious query?
22057What do yo''intend to do, sah?"
22057What do yo''say we rustle back that herd o''longhorns that Hardy stole from Tip''s dad?"
22057What do yuh think o''this?"
22057What happened?
22057What if they do fill me with lead?
22057What time is it?"
22057What was Hardy up to?
22057What were they waiting for?
22057What would become of him, if he, Kid Wolf, died?
22057What''s the matter?
22057What''s yo''verdict?"
22057Wheah can we go?"
22057Wheah''s yo''men?"
22057When was he to be shot?
22057Where is this wagon train, sah?"
22057Where to, now?"
22057Where was he to find it?
22057Where was he?
22057Where were they bound for?
22057Where you goin''?"
22057Who was this hombre?
22057Who''s with me?"
22057Why do n''t yuh kill me and finish me?"
22057Why this covered grave?"
22057Will I find them in San Felipe?"
22057Will yo''kindly poke yo''hands into the atmospheah?"
22057Will yuh take''em?"
22057Wo n''t yo''tell me yo''story?
22057Wo n''t you help me?"
22057Would Blizzard take it, or refuse?
22057Would Blizzard take it?
22057Would he again attempt to batter down the door and force a way in, under cover of darkness this time?
22057Would he find his friend, the Texan?
22057Would he get a bullet for his pains?
22057Would the Texan make it?
22057Yo''deal in lands, I believe?"
22057You understand, señor?
22057Yuh promise to try?"
22057_ Como esta usted?_""_ Buenas noches_,"returned The Kid, with easy politeness.
60797Absolutely devoted boy, is n''t he? 60797 Ai n''t it, now?"
60797Ai n''t none of you ridin''to town?
60797All of''em?
60797And the Circle Bar lays right up the valley from the Lazy S. Anybody at Shumway''s would be sure to see the Circle Bar if she was burnin'', I guess?
60797And what''s the answer to the durned thing?
60797Any objections?
60797Any of the Running Dog outfit in town?
60797Are you Fisher o''Pecos County?
60797Are you sure-- are you sure about what you saw? 60797 Are you threatening me?"
60797Brady?
60797But how in time are we goin''to git away from here?
60797But s''pose anybody with money buys in the place and pays off the mortgage?
60797By that brand, you must ha''come up from the south, Robinson? 60797 By the way, I s''pose you ai n''t related to Pincher Brady?
60797Call you Mister Arnold over there, would they?
60797Dead-- Miguel dead?
60797Did I say? 60797 Did you get him?"
60797Do n''t mind if I smoke, Stella?
60797Does that look like it?
60797Does that satisfy you? 60797 Feelin''your oats a heap, eh?
60797For how much? 60797 Friend of yours?"
60797Friends of yours?
60797Friends? 60797 Funerals?
60797Get down and roll me one, will you? 60797 Got any objections?"
60797Got your saddle handy?
60797Him?
60797Hope you ai n''t lost any nerve lately, Buck? 60797 How come?
60797How come?
60797How goes it this morning, Miguel?
60797How ye goin''to work it?
60797How? 60797 Huh?"
60797I do n''t s''pose you gents could direct me?
60797I do n''t suppose, by any chance, you were looking for Sam Fisher?
60797I never''lowed it was, did I?
60797I s''pose you got reason for being so roundabout?
60797If I do n''t do it, then what?
60797If you ai n''t got no objections, Jake, where''s Matt Brady and Knute?
60797Is that the truth?
60797Jest come from town? 60797 Laredo?"
60797Law?
60797Leave you here?
60797Live bunch, ai n''t it?
60797Looks a whole lot like whoever wants the work done had ought to be able to handle some part of it his ownself, do n''t it?
60797Made you weep a lot, huh?
60797Matt Brady?
60797Matt Brady?
60797Me? 60797 Me?
60797Me?
60797Meaning what, pardner?
60797Miss Stella inside? 60797 My gosh, have you gone crazy or what, feller?
60797None of your business, is it? 60797 Not hearing?"
60797Now the only question is-- who''s a- comin''? 60797 Now you''ve seen the mistake, let''s have a drink, hey?"
60797Now, me lad,pursued Mike over his shotgun,"what''s this tale ye been tellin''?"
60797Oh, he did, did he? 60797 Oh, him?"
60797Oh, you ai n''t reachin''for it, huh? 60797 Orders to meet me?
60797Pull the mortgage stuff on Estella, polite but firm, savvy? 60797 Rescue him?
60797Right after I got back to the Lazy S, Buck and this feller Chuck rode home, savvy? 60797 Rope him?"
60797Rope him?
60797S''pose Jake''s all right?
60797Sam Fisher and Arnold are bound to come that way from the Lazy S when they see the smoke, ai n''t they?
60797Sam, what do you want that preacher for?
60797Satisfied, sheriff?
60797She''s his sister, eh?
60797So it ai n''t a dream after all, Buck? 60797 So long as you keep out of it, you''re not in it; get the idea?
60797Some stuck up over sudden promotion, ai n''t you, Sandy?
60797Steve, can I trust you to turn in back there and say nothin''--keep your head level-- just be nice and polite to Buck and his man Chuck Hansom? 60797 Stranger, are you jest plain fool, or ignerant?"
60797That''s sure the way to show up, is n''t it?
60797The-- mortgage?
60797Then,drawled Robinson,"I reckon you done heard of Pete Hendricks?"
60797They tried the old game on the stranger, eh? 60797 This ai n''t a holdup, is it?"
60797Threaten you? 60797 Tryin''to ride me, are ye?"
60797Turned dumb, have you? 60797 Want trouble, do ye?"
60797Was it as bad as that?
60797Well, gents? 60797 Were n''t you looking for me?"
60797What about Jake Harper?
60797What about that killin''up on the north road?
60797What at?
60797What do you mean? 60797 What for?"
60797What happened after they shot Cervantes?
60797What kind of a game are you playing, anyway?
60797What ye doin''here?
60797What ye tryin''to do-- stir up trouble a time like this? 60797 What you aim to do?"
60797What you so dummed curious about Murphy for?
60797What you want to go for, Jake?
60797What you want to run for, then?
60797What''d you drop him for? 60797 What''d you say your name was?"
60797What''ll it be now?
60797What''s all the excitement about in town?
60797What''s the big idea, Buck?
60797What? 60797 Where we off for?"
60797Where ye headin''for?
60797Where you goin'', Red?
60797Where''s Jake Harper, d''you know?
60797Where''s the feller calls himself Sam Fisher? 60797 Who done it?"
60797Who done it?
60797Who killed Cervantes?
60797Who posted that letter for you?
60797Who you callin''Fisher, sheriff? 60797 Who''d you suggest?"
60797Who''s shootin''here?
60797Whose mail you got there, Robinson?
60797Why do n''t you take Murphy, if you want him, and go?
60797Why,he stammered,"I understood a greaser was makin''trouble here----""And who might have gave you to understand such?"
60797Yes? 60797 You ai n''t been using your eyes real good, have you?"
60797You aim to light out, do you?
60797You do n''t mean young Fisher, the deputy sheriff o''Pecos County-- him that''s goin''to be sheriff there next election? 60797 You do n''t mind if I look over the place a bit, ma''am?
60797You fellers object?
60797You got away?
60797You got that gun of mine with you?
60797You know him, then?
60797You know him?
60797You met''em?
60797You seen Matt Brady draw first, did n''t you?
60797You slept out last night, yes?
60797You tryin''to run some joke on me, Red?
60797You want to move into the office here while I''m gone?
60797You were n''t in town to- day?
60797You''ll have no objections if I take charge of''em?
60797Ai n''t even busted, is she?"
60797Ai n''t it awful what can happen in your sleep?"
60797Ai n''t it the truth?"
60797Ai n''t that the way of it now?"
60797Ai n''t we been follerin''him for two weeks?
60797And if Fisher got killed, what loss?
60797And while we gathers in the sheriff o''Pecos and his pal, the Circle Bar outfit is millin''around tryin''to find out what''s done happened, eh?"
60797Anybody home?"
60797At the Lazy S?
60797Besides----""Templeton Buck?"
60797Brought in Cervantes, have you?"
60797Buck been in town to- day?"
60797But Buck-- give him a quick, hot bullet?
60797But I give him warning; you heard me?
60797But how ye goin''to reach the Circle Bar to fire her?"
60797But s''pose it ca n''t be paid off?
60797But they would n''t bring Pincher here simply to get you, would they?
60797By the way, I do n''t suppose this Jake Harper is a decrepit old party who was a scout for Reno during the Indian wars?"
60797By the way, ai n''t that a Circle Bar brand on your hoss?"
60797By the way, who had anything to do with Frank''s being sent to the pen?"
60797Callin''her Stella, huh?"
60797Can I put my rope on a couple of your broncs and get Steve to take me out and show me the country?"
60797Can ye do it, cowboy?"
60797Can you swear to it that Buck fired one of the shots?"
60797Did n''t ye hear a shot a while back?"
60797Did you meet a couple of riders back a ways?"
60797Did you see Stella?"
60797Do n''t tell any one but the sheriff what''s happened, savvy?
60797Do you agree?
60797Do you foller me?"
60797Do you foller?"
60797Ever been down thataway, feller?
60797Expectin''to meet somebody else here?"
60797Fisher, you want these deputies to work with you?"
60797Four will be plenty, I guess?"
60797Friend called himself Murphy, but his real handle was Pincher Brady, savvy?
60797Goin''over to the ranch real soon?"
60797Going to break through, or take my advice about sending that committee?"
60797Got any objections?"
60797Guess I''d better give him a job, had n''t I?"
60797Had Robinson overheard much of the talk?
60797He had been shot--- how?
60797He''s a stranger up here-- sure, you do n''t know him?"
60797Hello-- you must ha''scratched that hand or hurt it somehow; all plastered up, ai n''t it?"
60797Here, you take this hoss o''mine and I''ll take--""And give our game away to Buck?
60797Hey, Steve, is it true Cervantes was shot to- day?"
60797How come?"
60797How come?"
60797How in thunder did you get''em?"
60797How is the señorita?"
60797How many horses in the corral, Sandy?"
60797How you goin''to prove otherwise?"
60797How''d you find out?"
60797How''re you, Jake?"
60797I ai n''t going to do no such thing----""I said not to get hasty, did n''t I?"
60797I been keepin''tabs on things, y''understand?
60797I do n''t like your looks, and I do n''t like the name you''re sailin''under, savvy?
60797I met Miguel back yonder, where he''s powerful busy with some wire, and he allowed you would be glad to see me----""You met Miguel this morning?"
60797I''ll send in to town to- day and git the preacher, and we''ll attend to a real funeral for poor Miguel, savvy?
60797If him and Arnold seen the smoke from the Circle Bar, what''d they do?"
60797If you was n''t here, where''d I be?
60797Is n''t Estella wise to him?"
60797Is that c''rect?"
60797It does beat all how things happen, do n''t it?
60797Jest out from town?"
60797Knute off to one side?"
60797L''ave us be, will ye?"
60797Look rumpled, do I?
60797Lookin''for something special, were you?"
60797Maybe you remember him?
60797Me?"
60797Meet anybody?"
60797Miguel was killed by two bullets, was n''t he?
60797Murder trap?
60797My goodness, is that the way you show up?"
60797Need any help here?"
60797No objections?"
60797Nobody in these here parts is goin''to start buckin''my hand, y''understand?
60797Now what say to you and me going after that bad guy?
60797Now will some gent kindly direct me to where the nearest or next preacher resides?"
60797Only thing that worries me is this: Who fired the two shots?
60797Only, he always kills in the back, savvy?
60797Or is they?"
60797Question is, can I git to town''fore eight o''clock to- night?
60797Ridin''a Runnin''Dog cayuse?
60797S''pose ye''d like me to turn my back, would ye?
60797Satisfied?"
60797Savvy?
60797Savvy?
60797Send that preacher out here to- morrow, will you?"
60797So Jake is using Injun smoke signals, is he?
60797So that''s why they had you tied up?"
60797Sold this ranch?"
60797Sort of forgot what I look like, since you and Jake were down in Pecos County last fall, have n''t you?
60797Step up and have a seat, wo n''t you?
60797Tell my friend Murphy here who owns a half interest in this joint, you understand?"
60797Tell them I''ll be over to- morrow, after getting cleaned up at the Lazy S. And tell them to wait, understand?
60797That business ai n''t with you----""Oh, ai n''t it?"
60797That''s the best way to play her, ai n''t it?"
60797The coroner''s verdict will guarantee him a quick trial for the murder of Miguel, wo n''t it?
60797The latter spoke challengingly:"Meaning me, maybe?"
60797The reason''s Stella, savvy?
60797Then:"Well, what you want here?"
60797These deputies of mine were in next door with me----""Right convenient, were n''t you?"
60797This here ai n''t no private road, is it?"
60797Try a doughnut?
60797Want me to send for Jake Harper?
60797Was you about to offer to renew the note?"
60797We''ll get to town all right, Buck-- won''t we, cowboy?
60797What about it, Jake?"
60797What d''you know about that shooting on the north road yesterday?"
60797What did it mean?
60797What in time are you exposin''your flannels for thataway?"
60797What in time d''you mean?"
60797What next?"
60797What say?"
60797What was it you started to orate about the mortgage?"
60797What would we want to rope''em for?"
60797What you doin''here?"
60797What you tryin''to kill time for?
60797What''s happened?"
60797What''s that crossroads ahead?"
60797What''s the program?"
60797What''s your rush to look at land, huh?
60797Whence had come that shot?
60797Where are your hosses, Tracy?"
60797Where had Robinson come from?
60797Where is he?"
60797Where to?"
60797Where?"
60797Who bought the place?
60797Who to?"
60797Who was the person?
60797Who''d you think was kissing you, anyway?"
60797Who''s leading them?
60797Why do n''t you stick around and talk a while, Robinson?"
60797Why in thunder did n''t you tell me you was Sam Fisher?"
60797Why?"
60797Willing to listen a minute?"
60797Would he lie to his men, or tell them the truth?
60797Ye think the Circle Bar bunch is too old an''helpless to stir much, huh?
60797You ai n''t friends with this gunman Robinson?
60797You and me, what say we go ridin''for a change?"
60797You boys rope him, fetch him over here, and we''ll let him cool off a spell while we run that outfit of hisn off the range, savvy?"
60797You did n''t meet Mig Cervantes?"
60797You did?"
60797You do n''t mean you''re not going with me?"
60797You do n''t think any one will try to rescue him?"
60797You fellers from the Circle Bar-- got the front ones covered?
60797You think I''d lie to save your worthless neck?"
60797You''re the Lazy S foreman?"
60797Your job is to take the worry off Stella''s mind, savvy?"
30841A parade?
30841Afraid, are you?
30841And I hope you have good news of my father and my uncles?
30841And are you sure my bag and everything that was in it are gone?
30841And have you struck oil?
30841And how about dad, Martha?
30841And how about yourself?
30841And so you''re really going back to Texas?
30841And that''s how you won the medal?
30841And then he was killed?
30841And they were well?
30841And what about Miss Stevenson''s eyes?
30841And what about our folks?
30841And what did Mr. Fitch have to say about the land?
30841And what of Werner? 30841 And who do you think it was?
30841And who were they?
30841And you say you have the culprit locked up in your closet?
30841Any chance of our getting in there?
30841Anything in the way of a taxicab around here to take us and our baggage up there?
30841Anything wrong?
30841Are either of you hurt?
30841Are they going to celebrate the victory over Columbus Academy?
30841Are you fellows working for Carson Davenport?
30841Are you going to sink a well here?
30841Are you on a sightseeing tour?
30841Are you soldier boys?
30841Are you talking of John Franklin?
30841Are you willing to put that in writing?
30841As late as that?
30841Behind where?
30841Behind''em?
30841Blind?
30841But are you sure the experts went over it very carefully?
30841But he really thinks she will come around all right?
30841But what are we going to do?
30841But what brought you young fellows down here?
30841But what can Gabe Werner be doing in this out- of- the- way place?
30841But what did you do?
30841But who attacked you, Dad?
30841But who told you, Ruth?
30841But who would want to steal those papers if not Davenport and his crowd?
30841But you are going to investigate, are n''t you, and make sure?
30841But you''ll tell your cousins at the Hall, wo n''t you?
30841Ca n''t we do something for them?
30841Ca n''t you see that this is only a stuffed figure? 30841 Ca n''t you swim?"
30841Can I go, Dad, if you go?
30841Can they be going up to the Lorimer Spell claim?
30841Can you get loose now?
30841Cats like to climb poles, and the south pole is the south pole, is n''t it?
30841Cooking that was n''t?
30841Dad, why not look into this claim the Franklins own?
30841Did Gabe Werner''s folks put up anything?
30841Did Lorimer Spell say that his land had oil on it?
30841Did a young fellow just pass this way?
30841Did n''t find the fellow you were after, did you?
30841Did n''t you boys bring anything?
30841Did n''t you say you thought this Rover had a lot of money?
30841Did the girls say they were going to see the pictures, Fred?
30841Did they find oil on your farm?
30841Did they run away from that detention camp in the South?
30841Did they say anything to either of you?
30841Did you come here from that detention camp?
30841Do n''t you hear it on the leaves?
30841Do n''t you see the Hudson River over there with the stately warships?
30841Do n''t you think Ruth had better see a doctor?
30841Do n''t you think we had better make a change, Tommy?
30841Do you imagine they would dare show themselves around here?
30841Do you know anything about that tract?
30841Do you know anything at all about the Lorimer Spell claim?
30841Do you know what I think?
30841Do you mean to insinuate that I or one of our other men shot Spell?
30841Do you think I am doing right to let them work the claim?
30841Do you think he is the same Rover?
30841Do you think he''ll dare come over here and have it out with Uncle Dick?
30841Do you think we can do it, Jack?
30841Do you think you can make some kind of a reasonable arrangement with Mr. Franklin, in case the oil expert''s report is good?
30841Do you think you can row, Jack?
30841Do you think you can swim ashore?
30841Do you want any of us to go to the school with you?
30841Do you want me to tell them about the hooks and the hair- buns?
30841Do you want to be reported?
30841Do you want to swing against me or against my brother Randy?
30841Going to invest in some oil wells, I suppose?
30841Got any mustard pie?
30841Has anybody been annoying you?
30841Has he been taming mice on the sly?
30841Has he been using it for an imitation Hun to shoot at?
30841Have the soldiers come back yet?
30841Have we been keeping you long?
30841Have you any idea what they were doing around Clearwater Hall?
30841Have you any idea who played it?
30841Have you received a challenge from them?
30841Here, what''s the rumpus?
30841Hi, Codfish, what are you trying to do?
30841How about a swing from one bar to the next?
30841How about it?
30841How are we going to see anything when he shuts his door on us?
30841How can Gabe Werner be down here?
30841How did I know it belonged to you?
30841How did he get his leg broken?
30841How far is that Lorimer Spell tract of land from here?
30841How long do you want to stay?
30841How long were you at this window, young fellow?
30841How much farther have we to ride?
30841How soon will this parade come off?
30841Hurt?
30841I know it? 30841 I presume you young ladies are with Miss Stevenson?"
30841I was wondering if you young gents could n''t aid me a little?
30841I wonder if the squirrels will bother the lunch?
30841I wonder if they have arrived yet?
30841I wonder what became of Nappy and Slugger?
30841I wonder what has become of Nappy and Slugger?
30841I wonder what they''ll do?
30841I wonder where Codfish is now?
30841I wonder where they are?
30841I''d like to know what you are trying to do, Codfish?
30841If he really took them, what do you think he did with them?
30841If it was true, why did you and Nappy hide when we came up?
30841If you are satisfied that Mr. Fitch is all right, Dad, why not have him make a survey of the Franklin place?
30841If you go, wo n''t you take me along?
30841If you''re out of luck, why do n''t you go to work?
30841Is he a New York man or one from down in Texas?
30841Is he sick?
30841Is it a fire?
30841Is n''t it queer that they should hang around our hotel and then come down here for a meal?
30841Is n''t it rather strange that you should be up here in such a storm as this?
30841Is n''t it the way in which he was talking to some of those Columbus players?
30841Is n''t it wonderful how many soldiers there are?
30841Is n''t that right, Slug?
30841Is that man who is with you your uncle?
30841Is that right?
30841Is that what they call it, Dad?
30841Is the tract of land he is interested in near here?
30841Is your claim around here?
30841It sounds like a fairy tale, does n''t it, Dad?
30841It was the best ever, Jack, but did it hurt your hand-- I mean enough to stop your pitching?
30841It''s a mint of money, is n''t it?
30841It''s all right enough to talk about shelter,returned Randy quickly;"but where are you going to find it?
30841Jack, are you sure you can hold''em?
30841Just look at the stuff coming down, will you?
30841Look after my kid, will you?
30841Look there, will you?
30841Now then, what is it that is troubling you?
30841Oh, Captain Dale, wo n''t you please come quick?
30841Oh, Dad, are you talking about the Lorimer Spell claim?
30841Oh, Jack, are n''t you nervous?
30841Oh, Jack, how do your eyes feel?
30841Oh, then he has broken his leg, has he?
30841Oh, what shall we do? 30841 Oh, who would want to harm a dear young lady like Miss Stevenson?
30841Own an interest here?
30841Say, what do you know about this?
30841Say, what kind of a prize do I get?
30841Say, what''s the meaning of this?
30841See all the derricks in the distance?
30841See here, Nappy, is this some sort of trick?
30841See here, will you?
30841See here, you fellows, what did you mean by your actions the night you got us to walk out to that storehouse?
30841See him? 30841 So that is the way you are talking about me, is it?"
30841So you came all the way from Texas, did you?
30841Spying on us, eh?
30841Suppose we take a run over to the Spell farm?
30841Taxicab? 30841 The army authorities?"
30841The land of luck?
30841The question is,came from the man named Tate,"how are we going to get at it?
30841The question is-- where is Werner?
30841Then Ogilvie and the others think there is oil on that claim?
30841Then on the strength of this report, Mr. Fitch, you would advise my sinking at least two wells?
30841Then what''s the matter with our walking out there and taking a look around?
30841Then you do n''t really know much about who discovered the south pole?
30841Then you do n''t want to go into a real good thing?
30841Then you heard it too, did you?
30841Then you mean to say that Mr. Davenport is a thief?
30841Then you mean to say that you think your claim on the land is just as good as mine?
30841Torn it up? 30841 Two cents a share?"
30841Uncle Dick, why do n''t you pretend to be terribly put out over the fact that you have lost your interest in the claim?
30841Want me to explain myself, do you?
30841Want to see him particularly?
30841Was it your dad who did that?
30841Was n''t it perfectly grand?
30841Was that pepper from some you brought along?
30841Was that where you won your medal, Dad?
30841Well, what do you think of our town?
30841Well, what have you done?
30841Were any of his papers of value?
30841What about it if my father gets back those papers of which he was robbed?
30841What about it?
30841What about my papers? 30841 What are you doing here, Jack Rover?"
30841What are you fellows doing here?
30841What are you going to do this summer, Jack?
30841What are you going to do, Andy? 30841 What are you talking about, Andy?"
30841What at?
30841What brought them to this island?
30841What business had you to touch our lunch?
30841What can I do for you?
30841What did he do?
30841What did the letter say? 30841 What did you hear about Longley, Ruth?"
30841What did you hear?
30841What do you fellows want around here?
30841What do you know about this? 30841 What do you mean by hitting me that way, Rover?"
30841What do you mean?
30841What do you suppose has become of Nappy and Slugger?
30841What do you take us for, anyhow?
30841What do you think about it?
30841What do you want of us?
30841What do you want to lick him for?
30841What does the doctor say about Ruth?
30841What have you done about your claim, if I may ask?
30841What have you got?
30841What is Codfish doing with that dummy?
30841What is it you boys want?
30841What is it, Dad?
30841What is it?
30841What is that, Major?
30841What is the matter with you, Stowell-- are you blind?
30841What is the matter with your eyes, Jack?
30841What is the name of this promoter?
30841What shall we ride him in?
30841What time is it, Jack? 30841 What was it?"
30841What was that, Jack?
30841What was the score?
30841What would girls be doing in the oil fields?
30841What would you say to transferring to Pottown?
30841What''s going on here? 30841 What''s that?"
30841What''s that?
30841What''s the matter with comparing it with Riverside Drive?
30841What''s the matter with going to the Ritz- Copley Square?
30841What''s the matter with us girls going along?
30841What''s the matter-- can''t you get a job?
30841What''s the matter? 30841 What''s the meaning of this, Davenport?"
30841What''s the news about dad, Ma?
30841What''s the next move, if I may ask?
30841What''s the row?
30841What''s the rumpus about, anyway?
30841What''s the rumpus here?
30841What''s the tract called? 30841 What''s the use of bothering with them?"
30841What''s the use of trying to hide it, anyhow?
30841What''s this package?
30841What''s this you are saying?
30841What''s this? 30841 What-- what-- what happened to me?"
30841When are our boys coming?
30841When did you see them?
30841Where are they?
30841Where are you?
30841Where did he go?
30841Where did you get the firecracker, Andy?
30841Where did you get those mice?
30841Where is Werner now?
30841Where is Werner?
30841Where is he now?
30841Where is he?
30841Where is he?
30841Where is he?
30841Where''s them mice, I say?
30841Where''s them mice?
30841Who are you talking about, Martha?
30841Who told you that?
30841Who told you this?
30841Who would dream of digging up snakes on this island?
30841Who''s going to report us-- you?
30841Who''s the man you are after?
30841Who-- who knocked me down?
30841Why did n''t they put Davenport and his partners in prison?
30841Why do n''t they swim ashore?
30841Why do n''t you wait until to- night?
30841Why not?
30841Why, what are you going to do?
30841Why, what do you mean by white elephant?
30841Why, what''s the matter, Ruth-- has anything gone wrong?
30841Will you see Davenport in the morning?
30841Wo n''t Nappy and Slugger crow over this-- especially as their folks have an interest in the well?
30841Would n''t it be dreadful if Ruth was blinded for life?
30841Would n''t it be glorious if my dad could strike something like that?
30841Would n''t it be great if we could go down there and locate a few of those first- class wells?
30841Would n''t you like to do a hundred- yard dash on this road?
30841Would you mind showing us the quarters?
30841You do n''t mean to say you did all of this work with a knife?
30841You say they asked about Lorimer Spell and his claim? 30841 You say you belong up the river?"
30841You think you have everything your own way, eh?
30841You wo n''t mind if I come down to see you some time, will you?
30841You''re the fellow who''s playing the trick on me, eh? 30841 A contest? 30841 After all we did for you in the woods last Winter?
30841Am I mistaken, or is that Phil Franklin over there?"
30841And then he added hurriedly:"Did they rob you of anything else, Uncle Dick?"
30841And then he added softly:"We''re mighty proud of our Dick, are n''t we?"
30841And then he added:"Have your folks decided to go down on the Jersey shore?"
30841And then he continued quickly:"What''s the matter with having Grandfather Rover down here from Valley Brook Farm?"
30841And then he continued:"I suppose you came from a distance, eh?"
30841And then there boomed out this refrain:"Who are we?
30841And, by the way, Jack, how do your eyes feel?"
30841Are n''t they beautiful?"
30841Are the mice up there still?"
30841Are they safe?"
30841Are you sure you can spare them?"
30841But are you sure poor Ruth''s eyes are not permanently injured?"
30841But what can a chap do when the rain is coming down to beat the band?"
30841But, Jack, you are quite sure that your eyes are all right?"
30841CHAPTER XXII AMONG THE OIL WELLS"Did you see those fellows?"
30841CHAPTER XXIII A QUEER SUMMONS"Am I seeing straight, and is it really the Rovers?"
30841CHAPTER XXIX DAYS OF ANXIETY"I wonder what Davenport will say when he finds those men are working here?"
30841Ca n''t you see?
30841Can you boys get ready so soon?"
30841Could n''t you catch Werner?"
30841Did somebody threaten you, Ruth?"
30841Did you catch sight of them at all?"
30841Did you ever hear that name before?"
30841Do you know if this Tommy Flanders is much of a player?"
30841Do you think you''ll be able to see the documents this man Rover must carry?"
30841Fitch?"
30841Fitch?"
30841Franklin?"
30841Give me a shower- bath?"
30841Have you got the letter with you?"
30841Have you mentioned it to any of the others?"
30841How are you?"
30841How could it be?
30841How dare you?"
30841I did n''t see anybody, did you, Tom?"
30841I wonder where the Waldorf- Vanderbilt Hotel is located?"
30841Is he going to work with you?"
30841Is n''t it wonderful?
30841Just look around, will you?
30841Now why not go in together?
30841Rover?"
30841Say, Rover, are you going crazy?
30841See him with that medal on his breast?"
30841See how I had to tear my pajamas to get him out?"
30841So that''s your latest story, is it, Rover?
30841So you got home ahead of me, did you?"
30841Take off your coat, roll up your sleeves, and grab a pick and shovel?"
30841The man turned away, but then turned back:"Say, you could n''t lend me five dollars until to- night, could you?
30841Walt, will you go out and let us know when Codfish comes up?"
30841Was it a letter?"
30841Well, who did it?
30841What are you talking about?"
30841What are you trying to do-- kill me?"
30841What are you trying to do?
30841What do you mean?
30841What do you mean?"
30841What do you mean?"
30841What if the girl he thought so much of should go blind?
30841What if the girl''s eyes should be permanently injured?
30841What is the meaning of this, anyway?"
30841Where are you?
30841Who are you?"
30841Wo n''t you please come up and see who it is before he has a chance to break out?
30841You say he did not come back to Haven Point?"
30841You''ve got about thirty pockets in your suit, have n''t you?
30841are n''t you up yet?"
30841do you mean that you might go to Texas this Summer?"
30841do you really think that they made off with all that lunch?"
30841have you news of those two rascals?"
30841he added quickly,"where is Werner?"
30841how is a fellow going to learn anything if he does n''t ask questions?"
30841is it dead?"
30841just see how the oil wells are coming in, will you?"
30841listen to that, will you?"
30841look at this, will you?"
30841phat-- phat you mean py knocking mine stand ofer?"
30841suppose he should attack you some time when you were n''t aware?"
30841suppose they do strike it rich?"
30841then you mean to say there is no oil on that claim?"
30841what about it if some oil got on that flaming red necktie you are wearing, Fred?"
30841what are you doing here?"
30841what are you up to?"
30841what happened to you?"
30841what in the world shall I do?"
30841what''s this-- a bombardment by the Huns?"
30841where are Nappy and Slugger?"
30841wo n''t you take us all with you?"
30841you''re the same kind of a spitfire as your father, are you?"
20087A stampede? 20087 Ai n''t the Pinto the original whirlwind, though?"
20087All the bunch got hard boiled ones?
20087And have things to eat?
20087And the opening was near the spring at the point of rocks just above the herd?
20087And were those the fellows that tried to crowd me off the street?
20087And you are to remain out in the open-- in the saddle all summer?
20087Answer that, if you can?
20087Anybody know of any holes that he might drop into?
20087Anything else that you wish us to get?
20087Anything new?
20087Are they so bad as that?
20087Are you Mr. Sanders, from the Miller outfit?
20087Are you hurt?
20087Are you ready for me now?
20087Are you superstitious, too?
20087Are you sure it is n''t Hamilton-- Robert Hamilton?
20087At the camp, you mean?
20087At what time did the trouble occur?
20087Bed them down?
20087Beds?
20087Beg pardon; may I speak with you a moment?
20087Better keep them straight and not try to stop them, had n''t we?
20087Breakfast?
20087But the question is, what are we going to wear?
20087But was she a spook?
20087But where''s the bridge? 20087 Ca n''t a fellow talk about his appetite without being found fault with?"
20087Ca n''t any of you slow pokes get busy and fish him out?
20087Can you make it?
20087Chunky would make a good side hill rider, would n''t he?
20087Chunky? 20087 D- d- does it m- m- make any difference w- w- h- i- ch side you get on?"
20087Dead? 20087 Dew?
20087Di-- did I fall in?
20087Did I hear you say drawing room?
20087Did he kick me?
20087Did they? 20087 Did we leave him behind?"
20087Did you fall in? 20087 Did you get the wagon over?"
20087Did you hear that?
20087Did-- did the colonel say what we were going to have to eat?
20087Do any damage?
20087Do n''t they ever stop to eat?
20087Do n''t think he''s dead, do you?
20087Do n''t you know any more than to try to get onto a broncho from the off side? 20087 Do they ever run?"
20087Do you boys feel like going out on guard to- night?
20087Do you know a cowboy or foreman by that name?
20087Do you need us?
20087Do you see anything?
20087Do you suppose it was Chunky?
20087Do you think Mr. Stallings is worried about the weather?
20087Do you want to stampede the herd again? 20087 Do you want to wake up the whole outfit?
20087Does anyone ever come here?
20087Does he know that you are here?
20087Does it look like it?
20087Does it make any difference?
20087Drawing room?
20087Ever been through a Texas storm?
20087Ever ride one of them, Ned?
20087Find any other doors open or closed?
20087Find him?
20087For what?
20087Got any idea, Tad?
20087Got anything to eat?
20087Have you looked outside?
20087He means where do we sleep?
20087He''s a fellow who''s all the time making trouble, is n''t he?
20087Hear it, Tad? 20087 How about the trouble that the cattle men experience when near the place?"
20087How about when you came out of the river at the end of a cow''s tail this afternoon? 20087 How came that underground passage there?
20087How deep is the water?
20087How does it look to you?
20087How far do we have to ride, Big- foot?
20087How far shall we go?
20087How is Miss Ruth?
20087How long since you had seen him-- was he up there with you?
20087How many cattle do you think have got mixed with ours?
20087How many of them are there in the herd?
20087How shall I know when to come in?
20087How?
20087How?
20087I guess the gopher scored that time, eh?
20087I know; but what do you do?
20087I was going to ask you, sir, where we are going to get our breakfast?
20087I wonder if the noises are getting on the broncho''s nerves, too? 20087 I-- I fell in, did n''t I?"
20087Iron trails?
20087Is Tad hurt?
20087Is anything wrong?
20087Is breakfast ready?
20087Is he dead?
20087Is it near here?
20087Is it the boy-- have they found him?
20087Is it true that there''s spooks in that place?
20087Is the Nueces a large river?
20087Is the gopher going to break one of the bronchos?
20087Is there any cellar beneath the church?
20087Is there any truth in that spook story?
20087Is there nothing we can do toward finding the boy?
20087Is this the way you obey orders? 20087 Knew what?"
20087May I sit up now?
20087Mebby I''m particularly thick to- day, but I''d like to inquire how you expect to get the outfit over, after you have the raft under it?
20087Mr. Stallings, may I cut back some of the Diamond D animals in the mixed herd?
20087Not on the range? 20087 Now how about that spook, Big- foot?"
20087Now will you be good?
20087Oh, you mean the stampede last night?
20087Oh, you mean they would shoot you?
20087Pong, what are you going to give us out of the chuck wagon in the morning?
20087Pong? 20087 Professor, I presume you will have no objection to our accepting Colonel McClure''s invitation?
20087Professor, while the young people are enjoying themselves, suppose you ride over here and spend the afternoon with me? 20087 Run?
20087See them ears? 20087 So that''s their game, is it?"
20087So the Pinto got a dose this time, eh?
20087So you are learning the business, eh? 20087 Something wrong at the camp?"
20087Stallings? 20087 Stampedes?"
20087Sure it is n''t a trick?
20087Sure she ai n''t a spirit?
20087Swim the river with our horses?
20087Tenderfoot, eh?
20087That was too bad, was n''t it?
20087The Pinto? 20087 The boys do n''t carry guns, do they?"
20087The gopher?
20087The ponies started it?
20087The ponies? 20087 The river is near the church you were telling me about, is n''t it?"
20087Then you think we are going to have a storm?
20087Think we can make it, chief?
20087Think we will meet any rustlers?
20087Think you can do it, kid?
20087Think you can make it?
20087Think you can stand it?
20087Think you could do it better, hey?
20087Want me to tell Professor Zepplin?
20087We did it, did n''t we, Big- foot?
20087Well, kid, what about it?
20087Well, what do you think?
20087Well, what next?
20087Well, you made a nice mess of it, did n''t you?
20087Well, young man, what are you doing here?
20087Well, young man, what have you to say for yourself?
20087Wh-- where is he?
20087Wh-- where?
20087Wha-- what is it?
20087What about him?
20087What about what?
20087What are those steers on the outside there-- those fellows without any horns?
20087What are you going to do about the drift?
20087What did he say?
20087What do we do when it rains?
20087What do you make of it, Big- foot?
20087What do you mean?
20087What do you think about this business?
20087What do you think started the cattle this time?
20087What do you think?
20087What do you want?
20087What does this mean?
20087What for-- to lay ghosts with?
20087What for?
20087What is it this time?
20087What is it, a stampede?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is it?
20087What is your usual method?
20087What shall we do?
20087What shall we do?
20087What time shall we arrange to start, auntie?
20087What''d you wake me up for?
20087What''s a slicker?
20087What''s it all about? 20087 What''s that the steer is dragging?"
20087What''s that ye say?
20087What''s that?
20087What''s that?
20087What''s the matter, Pong?
20087What''s the noise?
20087What''s the trouble-- did the boy rope him?
20087What''s the trouble?
20087What''s up now?
20087What''s up?
20087What, teach a cowboy?
20087What-- what do you think it was?
20087What-- what happened?
20087What? 20087 What?
20087What?
20087When do we join them?
20087When do you expect to reach the Nueces River?
20087When shall we be near there?
20087Where are the Springs?
20087Where are they?
20087Where are you going?
20087Where are your beds?
20087Where you been, gopher?
20087Where you going to get timber around these parts?
20087Where''s Lumpy?
20087Where''s that bunch of tenderfeet?
20087Where''s the Pinto?
20087Where''s the gopher?
20087Where''s their beds?
20087Where? 20087 Where?"
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Where?
20087Whereabouts?
20087Which way did he go?
20087Who is missing?
20087Who is she?
20087Who is the wrangler this morning?
20087Who is your foreman?
20087Who said anything about a haunted church?
20087Who were the rustlers?
20087Who''s the gopher over there?
20087Who''s there?
20087Who?
20087Why do you want a black strap for breakfast?
20087Why go?
20087Why not? 20087 Why not?"
20087Why not?
20087Why, where is Master Stacy?
20087Why?
20087Why?
20087Will wonders never cease? 20087 Will you young men do me a favor?"
20087Will-- will you ever be able to separate them?
20087With the Miller outfit?
20087Wo n''t you come up to the house with me, while your man talks horse with my foreman?
20087Wrangler? 20087 Yes, I understand; but did you have any idea why the cattle stampeded?"
20087Yes, but what about the herd?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087Yes?
20087You fell in, did n''t you?
20087You mean you found an underground passage at the bottom of the old well? 20087 You one of the bunch?"
20087You say Ruth is bad again to- day, Margaret?
20087You take the fourth guard? 20087 You think this is some kind of a joke, eh?"
20087You-- you are going to leave him here?
20087You-- you do n''t reckon he''s with that other bunch, do you?
20087You-- you think he is here, then?
20087A church?"
20087A cowpuncher who has n''t had a wink in more than two days?
20087After it has been raining a little while a fellow ca n''t get any wetter, so what''s the odds?"
20087Ai n''t he a sight?"
20087All the cows back?"
20087And, by the way, you boys have n''t made the acquaintance of Pong, have you?
20087Are you going through with them?"
20087Are you thinking of fording it this morning?"
20087Bates?"
20087But what is it all about?"
20087But, if so, how can they tell one from the other?"
20087Butler?"
20087Call this dew?
20087Can you hold your side?"
20087Did n''t I tell you that I''d''fire''you if you got into any trouble in town to- day?"
20087Did the white steer kick you?"
20087Did they get away, too?"
20087Did you bring that lantern?"
20087Did you ever ride a bucker?"
20087Did you lose any stock?"
20087Do all of you swim?"
20087Do n''t you hear?"
20087Do n''t you see the kid''s near all in?
20087Do n''t you think that must mean that a lot of cattle who do n''t belong there have mixed up with ours?"
20087Do you want to kill somebody?"
20087Does n''t look very promising, does it?"
20087Ever been on a trail before?"
20087Feel bad anywhere, now?"
20087First place, we are not yet in the country where they can work profitably----""Where''s that?"
20087Getting weak in the knees?"
20087Got your rope?"
20087Got your spurs on?"
20087Has n''t he come in yet?"
20087Have anything to eat down there?"
20087Have n''t they bedded down yet?"
20087Have n''t you had anything to drink?"
20087Have n''t you, Big- foot?"
20087Have we got to leave them here?"
20087Have we time to stop this morning?"
20087Have you boys brought your slickers with, you?"
20087How are you?"
20087How did you all sleep?"
20087How did you happen to lead the cattle straight ahead, instead of turning the leaders?"
20087How long do you expect to remain with the herd?
20087I do n''t see any?"
20087I presume you are aching to know what all this mystery means?"
20087I''ve wanted to see one all my life----""What?
20087I----""Have n''t done anything?"
20087Is he all right?"
20087Is he always falling into trouble that way?"
20087Is he going to play blind man''s buff?"
20087Is it Chunky?
20087Is that it?"
20087Is that where you expect to get the other herd of cattle as well?"
20087Is there anything you want to say to me now?"
20087Is this the way they celebrate it down here?"
20087It happened so quick----""What time?"
20087Just like war time, is n''t it?"
20087Of all the idiotic-- oh, what''s the use?
20087Professor, do you wish the boys to take their turns on the herd to- night?"
20087Professor?"
20087Ruth, why ca n''t you and the girls take the young men over there to- morrow if the day is fine?
20087Sanders?"
20087Say, do n''t you?"
20087So where is he?
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Stallings?"
20087Still think you can break one of them in?"
20087That''s so, where is he?"
20087The Pony Rider Boys in Texas CHAPTER I IN THE LAND OF THE COWBOY"What''s that?"
20087The next question is, where am I?
20087The question is, where is he?"
20087They would n''t desert the herd, would they?"
20087Think you could have been any more wet?"
20087Think you''ll be able to ride in the trail wagon?
20087Trying to drown yourself?"
20087We might as well have it now, though there''s nothing of enough consequence to have a quarrel about----""You threaten me?"
20087What about the new ponies?"
20087What ails you, Big- foot?
20087What are they doing?"
20087What are you doing here, anyway?
20087What do you mean?"
20087What do you mean?"
20087What do you think?"
20087What happened to that pony?"
20087What sort of recommend do you suppose Boss Miller will give you when I tell him I found you trying to shoot up a kid?"
20087What was she doing-- how did it happen?"
20087What was that?"
20087What''s a wrangler?"
20087What''s it for?"
20087What''s that up there?"
20087What''s that?"
20087Where did those cattle come from?"
20087Where did you say Mr. Stallings was, Big- foot?"
20087Where do you think you are?"
20087Where else could he be?
20087Where have I heard that name before?"
20087Where is the camp?"
20087Whether or not she caused these intentionally, Ruth does not know----""And that is the mystery?"
20087Who''s he?"
20087Why not?"
20087Will you shake hands and forget your bad temper?"
20087Wo n''t you be seated?"
20087You all right?"
20087You are going in for the ten- thirty trick, are you not?"
20087You will find no luxuries, but lots of hard work on a cattle drive, young men----""Do-- do we get plenty to eat?"
20087You will, wo n''t you, Professor?"
20087You would n''t have me be a coward, would you?"
20087You''ll come out and have supper with us?"
16976A guard?

16976Oh, he did, did he? 16976 Oh, how can I ever thank you?"
16976Oh, sure, he could, but he would n''t, onless-- you got your camp near here?
16976Oh, that''s all, is it? 16976 Oh, why did n''t you tell me what a_ beast_ he was?
16976Oh, you do, do you? 16976 Ought n''t I have a mirror?"
16976Pickin''posies?
16976Say,he asked, presently,"do you know if they''re fordin''at Cow Island this year?"
16976Say,he drawled, when he had lighted it with a twig from the fire,"what the hell did you whallop me in the jaw for?
16976Shall we take him to Lone Tree Coulee?
16976Since when you be''n runnin''this outfit?
16976So I am to be lynched, am I?
16976So Purdy ai n''t dead,he muttered,"or was that damned fool lyin''?
16976That Purdy is not dead? 16976 That way, it would n''t cost you nothin''would it, Johnson?
16976Them lamps of yourn was turned up too high, was n''t they?
16976Then there is-- someone else? 16976 Then, dear, I am going to ask you again, the question I have asked you times out of number: Will you marry me?"
16976There is a box in my coat pocket, will you hand me one? 16976 This girl went ridin''with Jack Purdy-- he borrowed the side- saddle from Cinnabar----""Did Cinnabar loan him that saddle fer any such----?"
16976This here chloride, or whatever you call it, you sure it wo n''t kill a man?
16976This water,asked the man,"it''s for her, is n''t it?"
16976W''er''we goin''?
16976Was anybody hurt?
16976Was n''t one stranglin''enough for spreadin''out Purdy? 16976 Wer''you goin''now?"
16976Wha-- What''s up, boys? 16976 What are air- tights?"
16976What are you going to do?
16976What are you saying?
16976What business you got, hornin''in on this? 16976 What did he shoot Purdy with?"
16976What did you do it with, some barbed wire?
16976What did_ you_ catch hell for? 16976 What do you mean?"
16976What do you mean?
16976What do you want around here? 16976 What fellers?"
16976What is a Judson?
16976What is it?
16976What is the meaning of all this? 16976 What other?"
16976What the hell did yeh double- cross me for?
16976What the hell is that, a name or a song?
16976What town is this?
16976What was it?
16976What was the rookus last night?
16976What you doin'', Win, sayin''the blessin''? 16976 What you doin''here?"
16976What you drivin''at? 16976 What''s a G- Dot?"
16976What''s a nester?
16976What''s ailin''him?
16976What''s he got to do with it?
16976What''s the matter, Johnson, your suspenders galdin''you this mornin''?
16976What''s the matter, Willie?
16976What''s the matter, Win-- steal a sheep?
16976What''s the trouble up in front?
16976What''s them fellows up to?
16976What? 16976 What?"
16976Where are you going?
16976Where has he been?
16976Where in the world did you get those clothes, and what is the matter with your face?
16976Where is he now?
16976Where is that whiskey bottle?
16976Where is your friend-- the one who raced with you for my handkerchief?
16976Where might you hail from?
16976Where''d they go?
16976Where''d you get that horse?
16976Where''d you git that dope, Jack?
16976Where''d you learn to shoot?
16976Where''s Bat?
16976Where''s this here outfit?
16976Where''s your outfit?
16976Where?
16976Who have you shaved?
16976Who is Bat?
16976Who is that man?
16976Who owns this joint?
16976Who would I be thinkin''about now, I wonder?
16976Who would have thought to look for water there?
16976Who, him?
16976Who, me?
16976Who?
16976Why be a man?
16976Why buy a ranch? 16976 Why do people stay cooped up in the cities, when out here there is-- this?"
16976Why does n''t Bat shoot, or go down there and help him?
16976Why should you be here if you did n''t love it?
16976Why was you so anxious she was to have Number 11, if what you''ve told me is on the level?
16976Why''n you stay in Texas, then?
16976Why''n you tell me who it was up here, so''s I could a gathered a man''s- size posse?
16976Will we have time to go up and see it?
16976Will you dine with us in an hour?
16976Will you marry me when you are ready?
16976Will you quit your damn swearin''?
16976Winthrup ai n''t wearin''well,thought the cowboy as his lips twisted into a smile,"but what could you expect with a name like that?
16976Woke up, did n''t you, you old stager? 16976 Would you go to the dance with me tonight, mom?
16976Y''got the price?
16976Yer what?
16976Yes; who you ridin''for?
16976Yes? 16976 You ai n''t be''n down the creek, then?"
16976You ai n''t_ what_?
16976You com''in tam'', eh?
16976You do n''t suppose I''d go off an''leave a good rope where you could get your claws on it, do you? 16976 You got here, did you?
16976You hont you''oman?
16976You mean drug? 16976 You mean you lak''fer git arres''?"
16976You mean you think he''s jest nach''ly got guts-- an''him a pilgrim?
16976You must have thought I sure enough was headin''for Cow Island Crossing did n''t you, you old dogie chaser?
16976You say they''ve dug up all the coulees? 16976 You''m mean de pilgrim''s girl?"
16976You''re a damn smart Injun, ai n''t you? 16976 You''re in a hell of a fix with your eyesight an''hearin''all shot to pieces, ai n''t you?
16976You''re sure they dug up Buffalo?
16976You-- didn''t find him?
16976Your head do n''t hurt you none, workin''it that way, does it?
16976''Cause if they ain''t----""What do you want to know?
16976''Tex,''he says,''where''s the pilgrim?''
16976''Where is he, then?''
16976A horse stood saddled beside the porch, and through the open door Tex could hear a man''s voice raised in anger:"Why in hell ai n''t it ready?
16976A pilgrim done that?
16976Again Alice Marcum shuddered as Endicott spoke:"Can you find our horses?"
16976Ai n''t Choteau County big enough to eat in without crowdin''?
16976Ai n''t that Tex Benton''s horse, an''Cinnabar Joe''s----?"
16976Alice Marcum leaped to her feet:"Oh, are you telling me the truth?
16976Alice returned the smile:"You used to rather go in for boxing in college, did n''t you?"
16976Alice shuddered:"And then-- what became of him, then?"
16976An''as for me tellin''you about him-- answer me square: Would you have believed me?"
16976An''bein''as this here is only a two- handed game, the discards is dead---- See?"
16976An''do n''t you stop to do no gamblin'', neither---- Ai n''t I told you it''s onrespectable an''divertin''to morals?
16976An''how about the other?
16976An''how much odds you got to get before you''ll risk''em?"
16976An''if they ai n''t no prisoner they wo n''t need no witness, will they?"
16976An''what girl?
16976An''would yeh be layin''over fer the dance tonight, mom?"
16976And are you always as accurate as when you lassoed the honourable Mayor of Wolf River?"
16976And besides, we must find some flowers-- wild flowers they must be for our wedding, must n''t they, dear?
16976And by the way, did you learn anything-- in regard to posses, I mean?"
16976And where are the others-- Tex, and Bat, and the pack- horse?"
16976Are n''t you ever afraid?"
16976Because I have taken a human life, and am flying from the hand of the law like a common murderer?"
16976But for the sake of argument admittin''I was drunk, if you object to the singin''and talkin'', what do you recommend a man to do when he''s drunk?"
16976But is n''t there something we can do?
16976But now-- over and over through her brain repeated the question: Where is he?
16976But, hey, Cinnabar, how about that drink?
16976But, really, was n''t it all delightful?
16976But, would he"com''long in tam''"?
16976C''n you hear that?"
16976CHAPTER XIX THE END OF THE TRAIL"How are we going to find them?"
16976Ca n''t a man----?"
16976Ca n''t you see the romance of it-- what it stands for?
16976Curt burst out laughing:"Can you beat it?"
16976D''you get me?
16976D''you recollect one night back in Las Vegas them four bits I loant you?
16976D''you think he''s onto the racket?"
16976D''you think the head- stall wo n''t hold the bit in?
16976D''you want to git us killed?
16976Dat_ hooch_ she mak''noise''nough for wan night,_ sabe_?"
16976Did n''t you hear me when I hollered at you in the saloon a minute ago?"
16976Did she suffer from the shock?"
16976Did you ever see such riding, and shooting, and lassoing?"
16976Did you sneak up near enough to hear what the short- horn said?"
16976Do I look like a school- marm?
16976Do n''t you know where your own face is at?
16976Endicott regarded her with a frown of disapproval:"Why this preposterous and vulgar talk?"
16976Endicott stared at the other:"What do you mean?"
16976Even if he desired could he prevent the cowboys from wreaking their vengeance upon the man who had killed one of their number?
16976Had Tex lied when he told her there would be no lynching?
16976Had someone told the truth about the lynching, and was he really wanted for aiding and abetting the pilgrim''s escape?
16976He pointed to the cans in disgust:"See those ends bulged out that way?
16976He''s always be''n anxious to pay it, ai n''t you, Bill?
16976His stake''s on the thirteen, ai n''t it?"
16976How A''m know he ain''gon for git hurt?"
16976How do I know you''re not going to lynch him?
16976How much do you or I know of it?
16976How much you got, three dollars?
16976How much you want to bet?"
16976How they stackin'', old hand?"
16976I do n''t remember----""Your mem''ry ai n''t no better''n what your eyesight an''hearin''is, is it?
16976I have always understood that cowboys were proficient along those lines, but why should n''t they be?
16976I''ll be needin''a man about your heft an''complexion to help me run it, too-- savvy?"
16976I''m a- goin''to win that buckin''contest-- an''yer goin''to help me--_sabe_?"
16976If I was, do n''t you suppose I''ve got sense enough not to go to you to help me with it?"
16976If that booze was doped why did Cinnabar drink it?
16976Is your parts workin''better?
16976It ai n''t no great ways back to camp----""How is she-- Miss Marcum?
16976It''s a damned hold- up, but what was it you wanted?"
16976It''s this way: D''you know what a frame- up is?"
16976Mister Kester moved his outfit over to the south slope?"
16976Must be some outfit south of here-- what did you say about it?"
16976Nor how bad the train crew got busted up, nor how bad they did n''t?"
16976Not that?
16976Now what''s the use of them bein''took down to Benton an''stuck in jail?
16976Of his character; of his antecedents?
16976Or ai n''t his mouth cut back far enough to suit you?
16976Or did the dollar you had to shell out for the ticket spoil all the fun?"
16976Or is it against the rules to smoke?"
16976Red Rock an''--an''all, Buffalo, Six- mile, Woodpile, Miller''s?"
16976See that mouse over by the wall?"
16976See?"
16976See?"
16976She laughed up into his face:"How can I ever stand it?
16976Sold any drugs that w''d do a man that way, lately?"
16976Some way out of this awful mess?"
16976Something warned her to go back, but-- what harm could there be in just riding to the top?
16976Sounds kind of abrupt an''off- hand, do n''t it?
16976Suddenly, his face became very grave:"Alice,"he cried, bending over her,"is it because my hands are red?
16976Suppose any pilgrim was allowed to step off''n a train any time he happened to be comin''through, an''pick off a loose one?
16976Tex laughed:"Ca n''t stand for the drownded ones, eh?
16976That Win did n''t kill him?
16976That is, if----"The Texan interrupted her almost rudely:"Yes, an''if they did n''t, it would just naturally be hell, would n''t it?"
16976The Mayor grinned;"Tex Benton, hain''t you had no bringin''up whatever?
16976The bartender eyed him narrowly:"Ai n''t you goin''it a little strong, pardner?"
16976The girl drank from the flask and returned it:"If there are posses out wo n''t they watch the water- holes?
16976The girl looked at him inquiringly:"Nester?"
16976The half- breed grinned broadly:"Me,--A''m de, w''at you call, de posse, eh?
16976The lynching would have been an atrocious injustice, but if you did not intend to hang me why should you have taken the trouble to bring me out here?"
16976The man flushed:"Are you never serious?"
16976The men poured their drinks and the Texan glanced toward the other:"You ai n''t mournin''none over Purdy, Curly?"
16976The other stared at him in amazement:"You mean bust him out?"
16976The ranchman regarded him with an intent scowl:"''Sth''matter with you, you drunk?"
16976The trail''s free, hain''t it?
16976Then, after they get through havin''their fun out of you, I''ll just waste a shell on you for luck-- see?"
16976There, you got one at last, did n''t you?
16976These spells is a- killin''me-- an''what''ll become of the woman an''the kids?"
16976They musta got the wrong guy?"
16976This geezer that you bumped off-- self defence, I s''pose?"
16976W''at for dey mak''de posse?"
16976W''er''Purdy?"
16976Was someone calling me?"
16976We thought you would n''t have no guts, an''we''d----""Any what?"
16976Wer''you hit heem?"
16976Whad''ye think this is, a camp meetin''?"
16976What be you?"
16976What business I got hornin''in on''em?
16976What did the girl mean?
16976What do they want of the pilgrim?"
16976What do ye know about the bad lands?
16976What do you know of that man?
16976What do you think I am?
16976What do you think about Purdy?"
16976What does any tourist know of the real West-- the West that lies beyond those level rims of dirt?
16976What makes them howl that way?"
16976What the hell do I care what they say?
16976What was a horse-- a thousand horses to the lives of humans-- her life?
16976What was that stretching away, long, and dark, and winding?
16976What will you do if it is?"
16976What would Choteau County''s or any other county''s he- population look like in a year''s time, eh?
16976What you got him all yanked in for?
16976What you got to do is to back up my play-- remember them four bits I give you way back in Los Vegas?
16976What you want to stand there spinnin''''round like a top for?
16976What''s ailin''ye?"
16976What''s on yer mind?"
16976What''s yourn?"
16976When will I ever get another chance to attend a cowboy dance-- and with a real cowboy, too?"
16976Where did he get the liquor?"
16976Where did you get them?"
16976Where was he?
16976Where was you raised?"
16976Where you be''n at?
16976Where''s the girl?"
16976Where''s your grip?"
16976Which one got it?"
16976Who''s scairt?
16976Why could n''t they have built it along the edge?"
16976Why hain''t you in dancin''?"
16976Why should n''t they be rough?
16976Why, what''s the matter with that horse?"
16976Why?
16976Will you excuse me, now?"
16976With a great surge of gratitude-- and-- was it only gratitude-- this admiration and pride in the achievement of the man who had rushed to her rescue?
16976Wo n''t it be fun seein''Sam Moore puttin''up a scrap to save his prisoner?"
16976Would he never come up?
16976Y''goin''to do as I say''bout that, too?"
16976Ye''ll git lost, an''then what''ll happen to me?
16976Yeh know how loose ol''Lazy Y is with his change?
16976You ai n''t sick, or nothin''?"
16976You bein''a pilgrim, that way, we kind of thought----""A what?"
16976You do n''t need no mirror to eat with, do you?
16976You do not expect me to leave them?"
16976You expect to marry, then, sometime?"
16976You think you''re fit to marry her, do you?
16976You would run a girl-- that girl, into a hole like this, would you?
16976cried the Texan;"How are we goin''to hole up-- four of us an''five horses, on a pint of water an''three cans of tomatoes?
16976exclaimed the cowpuncher,"you do n''t mean you''ve done lost all that there six hundred an''forty- eight bucks?"
16976exclaimed the other,"do n''t you know that Purdy did n''t stay spread?
16976he breathed, softly,"ai n''t you an''I had some nonsensical times?
16976he growled, with a glance toward the dance- hall lights,"an''what makes you think they''s a- goin''to be gun- fightin''?"
31870''Crude''? 31870 ''Twarn''t full of money?"
31870A whole week? 31870 A''dinner dance''?"
31870After the jack hunt? 31870 Ai n''t lil''old Fatty good for suthin''?
31870Ai n''t ye l''arned that I mean what I say yet?
31870Ai n''t you a- gwine to accord me no praise? 31870 Ai n''t you headed in the wrong way?
31870Ai n''t you man enough to have a pony of your own?
31870All right, Pratt?
31870All secure for the night, Daddy?
31870All those jewels and stuff? 31870 And Miss Rugley?"
31870And Pratt found the trail?
31870And Ratty M''Gill?
31870And how about that Pratt boy who you say went along with you?
31870And me sit here idle?
31870And that fellow Ratty was with him this time?
31870And they did not catch the man who stopped us at the ford?
31870And this boy of my sister''s is a pretty good fellow, Dan?
31870And what do you think of our Frances?
31870And when is the doctor coming again?
31870And why did n''t he free this poor creature?
31870And why does n''t he stop to pass the time of day with us?
31870And why should n''t I? 31870 And why should n''t she be?
31870And you''re going to put on that very clever spectacle at the Jackleg schoolhouse next month? 31870 Are n''t you going to invite the boys as usual?"
31870Are the cowpunchers just the same as they used to be?
31870Are those all yours, Frances?
31870Are ye mad with me?
31870Are you frightened, Pratt?
31870Are you hurt?
31870Are you satisfied?
31870Aw, why be fussy?
31870Bar- T?
31870Been pulling leather?
31870Before or after he robbed us?
31870Branded?
31870But ai n''t you an idee who they be?
31870But did n''t he find any trace of the robber up stream?
31870But he''s on your mind, eh?
31870But ought n''t I to go back with you?
31870But the trunk?
31870But what could he possibly want-- climbing up over our roof, and all that?
31870But what for?
31870But where could he have gone-- that man, I mean?
31870But where''s Pratt?
31870But will he be able to travel here to the Panhandle?
31870But you do n''t expect me to be scared?
31870But you do n''t object to Miss Boston''s expression of gratitude, Pratt?
31870But you do n''t propose to stay here?
31870But you do n''t want me to look like a South Sea Island princess, do you, Daddy?
31870But, of course, you know all about his adventures as a Ranger, and his trips into Mexico?
31870Ca n''t we keep ahead of it?
31870Ca n''t you calm his mind, Miss Frances?
31870Ca n''t you change these cords? 31870 Ca n''t you have the goods come by rail to Jackleg?"
31870Ca n''t you ride as well as these country boys?
31870Can it be----?
31870Could it have been the bootlegger?
31870Did n''t he chuck me into that fire? 31870 Did n''t you ever see a jack before, Pratt?"
31870Did you ever see the beat of that?
31870Did you see them?
31870Do n''t you really do all the overseeing for him?
31870Do n''t you suppose I''d be glad of the chance to ride with you for a way?
31870Do n''t you think so?
31870Do n''t you think you are witty? 31870 Do they go to town and blow it wide open on pay- nights?"
31870Do you dare hold this young lady a prisoner?
31870Do you expect that fellow is still trailing us?
31870Do you like me, Daddy?
31870Do you mean to burn the prairie ahead of us?
31870Do you suppose he''s known to Ratty?
31870Do-- do you think so, Dad?
31870Does it look like a joke to you-- a poor sort of a joke?
31870Does n''t_ anything_ ruffle you?
31870Even from Boston, Pratt?
31870Fired?
31870Foolish, am I?
31870Going, west, you say?
31870Got a sharp knife, Pratt?
31870Got that axle fixed, Mack?
31870Had n''t we better take a bite here?
31870Has n''t the Captain asked you for a dance?
31870Have you seen daddy?
31870He has been discharged from the Bar- T----"That''s the fellow you said made the steers stampede?
31870He never mounted his horse at all?
31870Heh?
31870How about Ming bringing us a pitcher of nice cool lemonade, eh, Frances?
31870How about that bird you heard on the roof?
31870How about this steer?
31870How about you?
31870How about your going to this dance, Sue?
31870How could they, Miss Frances, if the boat went down?
31870How did you get into this compound?
31870How do you know?
31870How do you like me now?
31870How does it feel to be a hero, Pratt?
31870How is that?
31870How long?
31870How- do, Frances? 31870 How?"
31870I hope you''re not hurt?
31870I reckon I know what they''re after----They?
31870I reckon that chest was filled with valuables, eh?
31870I reckon you''re not used to this sort of slapdash eating, Miss?
31870I thought your doctor had forbidden dancing for this summer?
31870I''d like to know how you make that out, Miss?
31870If I were he, and getting the attention he is----"From whom?
31870If that girl from Boston comes I''m going to have a fever-- understand? 31870 If that''s so, I reckon he got square for his loss, did n''t he?"
31870Indeed? 31870 Is it a circus parade?"
31870Is it just for show?
31870Is n''t this the fellow who robbed us at the river that time, Frances?
31870Is what all true?
31870Is-- is that all true?
31870It will be all right then?
31870Like them?
31870Mack is all right----"That fellow asleep on the wagon- seat? 31870 May I say one thing?"
31870Me,_ Capitan_?
31870Must I be_ that_ particular? 31870 My Uncle Jonas?"
31870My room''s better than my comp''ny, eh?
31870Never saw him before?
31870No? 31870 Nose ring and anklets included, I s''pose?"
31870Not all of them coming, I hope?
31870Oh-- well-- have those boards actually got to stay on?
31870Re''lly?
31870Read it to me, will you, Miss Nurse?
31870Seen anything of Miss Frances?
31870She did?
31870She''s a mighty fine girl, I reckon?
31870So you think better of our''crude civilization,''do you?
31870Stay here and fry?
31870Sure?
31870Surely there''s not much danger?
31870That fellow who took the old trunk away from Frances?
31870That is n''t anything very bad, is it, Frances?
31870That there have been such improvements and changes here in so few years?
31870That was some heavy, was n''t it?
31870That, I take it, was the burden of his trouble when he rambled last night in his speech?
31870That_ is_ a nice job for your nephew, hey Lon?
31870The Captain?
31870Then he was n''t the man whose wagon and one horse was burned?
31870Then you must be Miss Rugley, Captain Dan Rugley''s daughter?
31870Then-- then you are not grown up, after all?
31870There are no big night- flying birds out here on the plains?
31870There''s nobody in Boston''s Back Bay, even, who could do better than she?
31870They tell me it is so interesting to see the calves-- er-- monogrammed; do you call it?
31870Think I''m going to let old Lon stay in that soldiers''home? 31870 Turn your face up this way-- you hear me?
31870Victorino, too?
31870Was Amarillo ever like_ that_?
31870Was young Pratt Sanderson with them?
31870We all seem to be out of our beds at the hour when graveyards yawn, eh?
31870Well? 31870 Well?"
31870What about those who went up stream?
31870What are you doing?
31870What are you running about the house for at this time o''night?
31870What can he be doing?
31870What can it be?
31870What d''ye know about Lonergan?
31870What did he look like?
31870What did you say to Miss Latrop about her hair? 31870 What do you know about my journey?"
31870What do you mean, Frances?
31870What do you mean?
31870What do you mean?
31870What do you think of it?
31870What do you think of_ that_?
31870What do you want of me?
31870What do you want?
31870What do you want?
31870What do you want?
31870What does that fellow want?
31870What else?
31870What happened to Ratty''s bunch?
31870What in thunder was that?
31870What is it, Daddy?
31870What is it?
31870What is n''t there that you do n''t do better than most of''em?
31870What is that?
31870What is the matter? 31870 What punt?"
31870What shall we do?
31870What was in that trunk? 31870 What will your father say, Frances?"
31870What would father say, if he knew about it?
31870What''s kept you, Frances?
31870What''s that Mr. Tooley said in his letter, Frances?
31870What''s that, Frances?
31870What''s that?
31870What''s the good word, Sam?
31870What''s the matter with that horse, Frances?
31870What''s the matter with them?
31870What''s the matter with you fellers, anyway?
31870What''s the matter with you?
31870What''s the matter, Frances?
31870What''s the matter, Frances?
31870What''s the matter?
31870What''s tickling you, Pratt?
31870What''s up, Miss?
31870What? 31870 What?"
31870What?
31870When do ye want to go?
31870When is he going to let me get up out of this?
31870Where are you going, Pratt?
31870Where did she go?
31870Where did you leave Frances, Sam?
31870Where do you reckon he went to, Sam?
31870Where''d you get this? 31870 Who do ye think they are?"
31870Who done that?
31870Who gave it to you?
31870Who gave you this?
31870Who set the grass- fire, in the first place?
31870Who you looking for, Frances?
31870Who''s bossing things here now, I''d like to know?
31870Who''s she?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who''s there?
31870Who?
31870Why are you out of your bed, sir-- with your rheumatism?
31870Why do n''t you try your''prentice hand on that buckskin? 31870 Why is this, sir?"
31870Why not?
31870Why not?
31870Why-- why---- What do you mean?
31870With the make- believe treasure chest?
31870Wonder who could have been here? 31870 Would Ellis come by that trail?"
31870You do n''t expect me to sleep all the time, do you, Frances?
31870You do n''t expect me to, do you?
31870You do n''t know----"And I suppose you do?
31870You do n''t? 31870 You going with the wagon, Miss Frances?"
31870You have n''t been thrown, Frances, have you?
31870You know who I am and what I come up yere for?
31870You might have been much more seriously hurt----"You do n''t suppose I care about being hurt, do you?
31870You think you are smart, do n''t you?
31870You''re not going to take a dare like that, are you, Frances?
31870You-- you saw nothing in the court?
31870_ Quien sabe?_retorted José Reposa, with a shrug of his shoulders.
31870_ What?_"That''s so,said Ratty, with his slow drawl, and evidently enjoying the other''s discomfiture.
31870_ You_ a bank clerk, looking out through the wires of a cage like a monkey in the Zoo we saw years ago at Kansas City?
31870''Light, wo n''t yer?"
31870About the looting of---- Who was the old Spanish grandee he mentioned?"
31870Ai n''t it so?
31870Ai n''t that so, boys?"
31870All ready, Sam Harding?"
31870Am I right, Pratt?"
31870And after that-- and after that----?
31870And do n''t you be too sassy, understand?
31870And does she have her monogram burned on all of them?"
31870And if so, what is his reputation, his full name, and why did he leave the Home?"
31870And it must have been heavy, Frances?"
31870And now he''s going to come for his share----""Come for his share, Daddy?"
31870And who was its driver?
31870Are n''t girls wonders?"
31870Back to back and never give up or ask for quarter, eh?"
31870But Frances wondered what the girl from Boston would say to Pratt Sanderson about it, if she chanced to see Frances so adorned?
31870But there was one query far more important than all the others: Where was the man going over the roof?
31870But what could she do about it?
31870But who was he?
31870But''twould certain sure be a romantic outcome of all our adventures together years ago, eh?"
31870Ca n''t Ming find him a flannel shirt, Dad?"
31870Ca n''t it be done?"
31870Can I get a flop- down and a bite here?"
31870Can it be that father is right?
31870D''ye get me?
31870Did n''t you catch me as I fell?"
31870Did the fellow who hailed us to- night come here to the Bar- T for some bad purpose?"
31870Did you see the straw blowing out of the pipes as though a cyclone was whirling it away?
31870Do I?"
31870Do n''t I look as purty on hawseback as that fat chunk does?"
31870Do n''t you say so, Miss Frances?"
31870Do you hear me?"
31870Do you know who this young lady is, man?"
31870Does something pinch you?"
31870Edwards?"
31870Get me?"
31870Had he, too, seen the mysterious shadow in the court?
31870Had that shadow she had seen come this way?
31870Had they met, or passed, on the river bank?
31870He is n''t up, is he?"
31870He''s an awful nice young man----""Where''s Mack?"
31870He''s going to take some of the work off the Captain''s shoulders when we get him broke in, hey, Dan?"
31870Helped on the winter feed-- didn''t it, Daddy?"
31870How came you and your friends to be riding this way?"
31870How could she with Captain Dan Rugley for a father?"
31870How did he get here?
31870How did he know he could make the hook of his ladder fast at this point?
31870I believe one has to make his money in some such way to break into Boston society?"
31870I can kiss you now without mussing you all up, eh?"
31870I take it your health''s well?"
31870I wonder why?
31870I wonder why?"
31870I''m hurt, worse than I thought, eh?"
31870If he ai n''t the gal has----""You mean that daughter of the old man''s?"
31870If they do?"
31870In the meantime suppose Pete made another attempt to steal the contents of the Spanish chest?
31870Is he expecting to meet somebody?"
31870Is n''t it a lovely blond?"
31870Is n''t it hot?"
31870Is n''t she the whole show?"
31870Is n''t she, Pratt?"
31870Is that the plan for the pageant you are writing?"
31870It''s so''tarnal dark, neighbor----""You see those lights down yonder?"
31870Lonergan?"
31870Me?
31870Must have been something valuable, eh?"
31870Now, what shall I do about this?"
31870Or maybe that boy upstairs, eh?"
31870Or was it another?
31870Or was the broken place the result of an accident, and the marauder had noted it by daylight from the ground?
31870Plenty of cartridges in that box?
31870Read the letter, Frances, wo n''t you?"
31870Ready for this other wire?"
31870Savvy?"
31870She longed for Amarillo and what the old Captain called"the frills of society"; but could she give up the ranch for them?
31870She saw Ratty M''Gill on the black pony flying ahead of the steers; but what could one man do to turn two thousand head of wild cattle?
31870She was wondering if this abandoned wagon was the one she had seen turn into the trail from Cottonwood Bottom early in the day?
31870Should she run after him?
31870Should she run to awaken her father, or wait to observe his appearance above the edge of the veranda roof?
31870Should she shout louder for him?
31870Should she tell him the truth about that chest?
31870So interesting, I suppose?"
31870Sue whispered to Pratt, as they all arose to return to the front of the house,"they are quite too impossible, are n''t they?"
31870Suppose people believed that Captain Dan Rugley had actually stolen those things in some raid into Mexico?
31870Surely, the reckless fellow did not propose to attack Mack and herself on the open trail and in broad daylight?
31870That girl from Boston, for instance?"
31870That red coat''s got style to it, I reckon?"
31870The Bar- T''s big enough, I should hope-- hey, Frances?
31870The Chinks?
31870Then he turned to Pratt again and roared:"Do you know who I am, boy?"
31870Thinks him all right----""Ye do n''t mean to say ye think he''s in this mean mess?"
31870This Frances Rugley you tell about owns all these cows?
31870Understand, boys?"
31870Understand?"
31870Was he alone?
31870Was he on the watch for a possible marauder?
31870Was he the man Captain Rugley had seemed to be expecting to try to make a raid upon the ranch- house?
31870Was her father there?
31870Was it Molly?
31870Was it alive?
31870Was she expecting an attack?
31870Was that a rustling just outside the bars?
31870Was the man, Pete, lurking in some hollow or buffalo wallow?
31870Was there a traitor about who had broken a slate in the roof?
31870Was_ this_ the man who had come over the roof of the house?
31870Were n''t you just talking to him?"
31870What could Frances say?
31870What could it be?
31870What could it be?
31870What d''ye think you''re going to do about it?"
31870What did he mean by such conduct?
31870What did he want?
31870What did you say this boy''s name was, Dan?"
31870What do you know about that?
31870What do you say?"
31870What do you suppose Sam and the boys will do to you for treating me in this manner?"
31870What else could you expect of a cowgirl?"
31870What for, I wonder?
31870What had happened here since the lights went out and that mysterious marauder had come in over the ranch- house roof?
31870What is it?"
31870What kind of a hunter did I show myself to be?
31870What scent do they trail, I mean?"
31870What was he after?
31870What was he doing wandering around that court?"
31870What''s all the dolling up for?
31870What''s the matter?"
31870What''s''crude''?"
31870Whatever did possess me to urge her on?"
31870When can I have it?"
31870Where are you bound?"
31870Where could he have gone?
31870Where did_ she_ learn to plan pageants?
31870Where had she gone?
31870Where had the man gone who had climbed the rope ladder?
31870Who could he be?
31870Who was he?
31870Whom could Sam have sent with the bronchos for the doctor?"
31870Why are you out of your bed, Pratt?"
31870Why burn the mark upon the hides of those-- er-- embryo cows?"
31870Why did n''t you ride after her, Pratt?"
31870Why did n''t you wait till we was comin''back before springin''this mine on us?"
31870Why do n''t one o''you get down and show''em what you can do?"
31870Why had the young fellow been so sure that the robber had gone up stream instead of down?
31870Why should she be afraid now?
31870Why this curiosity?
31870Why, I could get up now----""With those shingles plastered to your shoulder?"
31870Why, do n''t you care anything for them?"
31870Wo n''t the girl tell them?
31870Would Ratty come back?
31870Would n''t it be easier?"
31870You hear?"
31870You never saw a prairie fire, Pratt?"
31870You wanter go to bed, honey?"
31870You''re the heir of a rich man now-- isn''t that so, Captain?"
31870Your father''s got a plenty----""You mean to make him ransom me?"
31870_ Sabe?_ Tell Joe to saddle Cherry, and Sam''s horse, and you get a saddle on your own, Vic.
31870_"What''s he doing with my pony?
31870are folks goin''to be held up on this trail and robbed just as though we had no law and order?
31870asked one of the local boys, with wonder,"what do the dogs follow, if there''s no fox?
31870did n''t hurt him when he went to bed, did they?
31870how can you be so mean?"
31870is it you, Miss Frances?"
31870is that my fault?"
31870was this around Boston?"
31870what are you about?"
31870what do you know about that?"
31870what do you think of that?"
31870what does she know about it?
31870what for?"
31870what is the matter with you?"
31870what we goin''ter do then?"
31870ye do n''t mean to say you''ve been through that fire?
31870you do n''t mean for us to climb up_ there_?"
31870you do n''t mean that you think Pratt Sanderson would do such a thing?"
10374''Lamblin''Kid''s''a funny fellow, do n''t you think so, Sing Pete?
10374A dance?
10374A thousand? 10374 A-- a what?"
10374Agreement?
10374Ai n''t he at the stables?
10374Ai n''t that just like the blamed idiot-- to go and ride that filly to- night?
10374Ai n''t you afraid she''ll break away from the_ caballero_ and you''ll lose her again?
10374Ai n''t you going to get up?
10374Ai n''t you going with us,Charley Saunders asked,"and help skin them steers?"
10374Ai n''t you going?
10374Ai n''t you starting the beef hunt too early?
10374Am I?
10374And it is?
10374And now?
10374And why would n''t he?
10374Any of you Quarter Circle KT fellers going in on anything at the Rodeo, this year?
10374Are n''t you going to ride the filly in that race at Eagle Butte?
10374Are those cattle,Carolyn June asked,"those things across the river?"
10374Are you backing that with money?
10374Are you plumb positive that she is one, Parker?
10374Are you sure?
10374Asleep, I reckon,he replied in a voice peculiarly low and deliberate,"--what''s your spontaneousness about?
10374Aw-- don''t you reckon you ought to choose one of the others first?
10374Bluing?
10374But I understand Old Heck''s aiming to bet a little,he drawled suggestively;"probably you''d like to see him?"
10374But did n''t that widow act funny for an''anti- he''suffragette?
10374But how about th''Ramblin''Kid putting his gun in your ribs-- resisting an officer and so on?
10374But how?
10374But what?
10374By thunder, I can,Skinny said, pausing,"that is, I''m willing to bet my money on it--""Vhy do n''t you go ahead and do it, then?"
10374Ca n''t you ever get over your dog- goned craziness? 10374 Ca n''t you head''em off, somehow?"
10374Ca n''t you-- won''t you-- ever-- ca-- care?
10374Can I get you to take me an''my daughter out to that construction camp where they''re buildin''a ditch or something?
10374Can Thunderbolt run?
10374Can you ride?
10374Carolyn June,Ophelia said when they were alone,"I have made a discovery--""It is?"
10374Chuck''s joking,Parker said;"he always was foolish--""Uncle Josiah,"Carolyn June asked suddenly,"can you take Ophelia to Eagle Butte to- day?"
10374Darned if I know-- ain''t he there?
10374Did I miss you this mornin''? 10374 Did I tell you I wanted a''gentle horse''?"
10374Did he name her as the Gold Dust maverick?
10374Did she buck?
10374Did you hear about that dance next Saturday night after the picture show?
10374Did you put bluing in your rinse water?
10374Did you speak, Uncle Josiah?
10374Do n''t you ever-- ever--''ask''anybody anything yourself?
10374Do n''t you like it?
10374Do n''t you want her?
10374Do n''t you want me to go?
10374Do you hear me? 10374 Do you know; where he went, Parker?"
10374Do you reckon the filly can really beat that Thunderbolt horse?
10374Do you reckon there''s any danger of it?
10374Does everybody have to-- to-- ask you everything?
10374Does he live at the Quarter Circle KT?
10374Drunk as I was th''day of th''race?
10374Drunk?
10374Event?
10374Feeds''Clap''n Jack''sugar, does he?
10374Framed?
10374Gee, did n''t Skinny shine in that shirt?
10374Gee, is n''t it pretty?
10374Gee, when you do start you go in a hurry, do n''t you?
10374Go ahead,she whispered to Skinny;"what then?"
10374Going to get drunk, are you?
10374Good heavens,Carolyn June called,"do you blow bubbles this early in the morning?"
10374Good heavens,she continued,"why do men think they have to lie to women?
10374Good lord,Charley gasped,"hear that, fellers?
10374Good luck?
10374Got it ready?
10374Got married?
10374Guess you people ai n''t got anything out there for the two- mile sweepstakes this year, have you?
10374Had I?
10374Had a what?
10374Had n''t we better stop at the drug store,she asked soberly,"and get some medicine?"
10374Had n''t you ought to exercise her?
10374Has he entered the outlaw filly for the sweepstakes, yet?
10374Has no one but-- but the Ramblin''Kid--Carolyn June hesitated queerly over the name--"ever ridden him?"
10374Have a good time?
10374Have you found him?
10374He eats, do n''t he? 10374 He wants to bet me four- bits he can--""Walk on them eggs and not preak them?"
10374He was blowing, was he?
10374He wo n''t let me ride him, will he?
10374Hell, what''s the difference?
10374Hell,he muttered,"what''s the use?
10374Her forehead does bulge out a good deal in front, when you come to look at it, do n''t it?
10374How are you going to work things when he gets back?
10374How big is she?
10374How does it happen you ai n''t fell in love with Carolyn June?
10374How is that?
10374How much do you suppose we ought to put in?
10374How was that?
10374How''s that?
10374How''s the Purgatory?
10374How''s the filly?
10374Huh?
10374I ai n''t aiming to, and I do n''t know what th''Ramblin? 10374 I do n''t understand,"Carolyn June said;"what arrangement?"
10374I guess you must be Carolyn June?
10374I reckon that''s right,Chuck whispered back,"it''s an awful jolt to Old Heck, ai n''t it?"
10374I reckon you are Carolyn June and Missus Ophelia Cobb,Old Heck stammered"Which one of you is which?"
10374I would in a minute,Chuck chipped in,"if I was good- looking like Skinny and had a white shirt--""What''s a white shirt got to do with it?"
10374I''d rather have Skinny''s job,Bert said with a snicker,"I''d be afraid of Ophelia--""Why?"
10374I''ll just flicker an eyelid occasionally at Parker, unless you object?
10374I-- I-- reckon I''ll have to do it if she''s determined,Parker stuttered;"but-- aw, hell-- I must have been crazy--""Who''s determined on what?"
10374I-- I-- reckon you want it back, then?
10374If I come in will you-- will we-- go, Manilla?
10374Is Skinny one?
10374Is he afraid of women?
10374Is it?
10374Is n''t that enough?
10374Is she making fun of me?
10374Is that all?
10374Is the hat all-- didn''t you--she intended to say"find something else?"
10374Is-- this-- is this a hold- up?
10374It''ll be easy when you get used to it--"If you know so much about it why do n''t you enlist yourself?
10374It''s a good thing there''s prohibition in this town,Skinny muttered as he stepped from the car and started brushing the dust from his coat;"Why?"
10374It''s easy for folks to get acquainted, is n''t it?
10374It''s funny, ai n''t it?
10374It''s kind of pretty, ai n''t it?
10374It''s worse than sorrowful--"Melancholical?
10374Killed him?
10374Listen, Ramblin''Kid,she broke in,"I-- I-- know all about everything-- about what started the fight--""You do?"
10374Me hate you?
10374Medicine? 10374 Not even to a woman?"
10374Now,Old Heck said with a hard laugh,"maybe you''d like to own the Quarter Circle KT ranch, Dorsey?
10374Oh, is-- is-- that you, Ramblin''Kid?
10374Oh, who is that?
10374Old Heck''s niece acts kind of stampedish, do n''t she?
10374On''Old Blue''?
10374Ophelia marry_ you_?
10374Ophelia? 10374 Pretty soft, is n''t it?"
10374Putting his gun in my ribs? 10374 Ramblin''Kid,"Carolyn June spoke suddenly very softly,"Ramblin''Kid-- why-- why do you hate me?"
10374Rider-- and horse?
10374Shall we forgive them?
10374She''s a what?
10374She''s-- she''s twenty- two--"Inches around or what?
10374Shut up, you blamed idiot, ai n''t you got no respect?
10374Sing Pete,she said, stepping into the kitchen,"may I have some sugar-- I''d like the lumpy kind if you have it?"
10374Skinny ca n''t do it alone-- can''t you see it''s choking?
10374So th''Ramblin''Kid killed old Sabota, did he?
10374So that''s what you''re an''Organizer''for?
10374Something''s got it,Charley answered,"he ai n''t acted natural all day-- do you reckon he''s sore because Parker took the widow to town?"
10374Sore?
10374Sounds sort of sensible, though, does n''t it?
10374Teleglam? 10374 That''s a hell of a thing to be packin''--wonder why I keep it?"
10374That''s funny,he thought,"wonder where Skinny''s at?"
10374That''s-- what was in that?''
10374That,Skinny said after a quick glance,"oh, that''s th''Ramblin''Kid-- Where in thunder do you reckon the darned fool''s going now?"
10374The Gold Dust maverick?
10374The Quarter Circle KT''s getting to be quite a female institution, ai n''t it?
10374The Young Whirlwind had cause?
10374The race is almost ready to start and-- do you reckon you could ride the filly, Bert?
10374The woman would n''t object, would she?
10374Then Skinny and your Uncle Josiah,the widow murmured,"and Parker-- are-- are-- pretending?"
10374Then the storm did drive him to shelter, after all?
10374There and then, but not here and now--"Where and when?
10374They seem plumb determined to arrive--"I''ve already give up hope,Old Heck answered,"but what will we do with them when they get here?
10374Tom,he said,"I reckon you''ll be looking some for th''Ramblin''Kid, after what happened last night, wo n''t you?"
10374Vat you standing there for? 10374 Was n''t that what made th''Ramblin''Kid kill the Greek?"
10374We had better go on,she said, then added lightly:"Does it always affect you so when you get this view of the valley?"
10374We have some trunks,Carolyn June said,"can we take them with us?"
10374Well, Sabota,he said at last,"th''Ramblin''Kid did n''t quite do his duty, did he?
10374Well, is the Quarter Circle KT getting up sand enough to go against old Thunderbolt again?
10374Well, it sure does seem like wherever women are trouble is, do n''t it?
10374Well, then, we will make it a free- for- all,Carolyn June said,"and--""How about the Ramblin''Kid?"
10374Well, you got through, did you?
10374Well?
10374What about th''other one-- Ophelia Cobb or whoever she is?
10374What all you aiming to gather?
10374What am I thinking?
10374What animal is that?
10374What are we going to do with that filly?
10374What are you and me going to do?
10374What are you tryin''to do?
10374What are_ you_ doin''here-- this time of night-- an''on that filly?
10374What did the-- the Ramblin''Kid do?
10374What did you catch her for?
10374What do you mean--''Sabota having th''Ramblin''Kid doped?''
10374What do you think you are--he started to say--"a bunch of lawyers cross- examinin''a witness?"
10374What do you want?
10374What do you want?
10374What does she mean?
10374What does that do to it?
10374What for?
10374What in thunder do you reckon Skinny''s been buying, now?
10374What in thunder does details amount to, anyhow?
10374What in thunderation''s that commotion?
10374What makes her that way?
10374What makes you think so?
10374What patients?
10374What shall we do about it?
10374What th''--Who left horses up last night?
10374What the devil-- are you trying to do-- choke me?
10374What they costin''a stack?
10374What was it over? 10374 What was the fight about?"
10374What was your idea in riding the Gold Dust maverick last night?
10374What would I want to lie about it for?
10374What you goin''to do?
10374What you going to do with the filly while we''re out on the beef hunt?
10374What you going to do?
10374What you tryin''to do? 10374 What''d I tell you?"
10374What''ll I do?
10374What''ll I have to do?
10374What''ll we do?
10374What''ll we tell them?
10374What''s happened to everybody?
10374What''s th''difference?
10374What''s that?
10374What''s that?
10374What''s the matter, Heart o''Gold?
10374What''s the matter, Skinny?
10374What''s the matter,Carolyn June laughed lightly,"--afraid of getting your''little tootsies''wet?"
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s the matter?
10374What''s wrong?
10374What''s wrong?'' 10374 What?"
10374When are you going to ride the Gold Dust maverick?
10374When did he get mad about the cat?
10374When does the slaughter begin?
10374Where did he come from and who is he, anyway?
10374Where did you find out so much about women?
10374Where do we start in?
10374Where is Skinny?
10374Where you going?
10374Where''d you get yours that day?
10374Where''d you reckon th''Ramblin''Kid is?
10374Where''ll we go?
10374Where''s Old Heck?
10374Where''s Skinny and th''Ramblin''Kid?
10374Where?
10374Which do you suppose would lick?
10374Who else did you think we meant? 10374 Who is he, what''s his real name?"
10374Who is this for?
10374Who pays for the eggs? 10374 Who plays?"
10374Who told you?
10374Who''s it from?
10374Who''s she?
10374Who-- what-- is it?
10374Who-- who-- got married?
10374Why can I see him-- just him-- and not the others? 10374 Why did n''t you wait till to- day, so the rest of us could see how she acted?"
10374Why do n''t you and Old Heck fight a duel about Ophelia?
10374Why do n''t you help him?
10374Why do n''t you open it and see?
10374Why do n''t you run the outlaw filly?
10374Why do n''t you take her in when the Rodeo is on and run her in the sweepstakes then?
10374Why do n''t you yourself go with Pedro and Chuck?
10374Why not?
10374Why so sad?
10374Why, did n''t you know?
10374Why-- why-- don''t you come in and dance?
10374Why?
10374Why?
10374Wonder if he ai n''t going over to Battle Ridge to find out if it''s so about them sheep coming in over there?
10374Wonder if them women come?
10374Would she?
10374Yes,Dorsey replied;"is that satisfactory?"
10374Yes,Skinny explained,"the Greek had a feller named Gyp Streetor put some stuff in th''Ramblin?
10374You ai n''t sore at me or anything are you, Manilla?
10374You are,she retorted impatiently,"and you know it--""Do I?"
10374You ca n''t take the Chink from here this time, can you?
10374You do, and did all the time--"Did I?
10374You eat him?
10374You say you''ll turn the Y- Bar cattle over to me within fifteen days?
10374You want to stop at the preacher''s house?
10374You would n''t think she was one by looking at her, would you?
10374You would n''t want--"Did I say I wanted it?
10374You''re all right, yourself, are you?
10374You-- you-- and Ophelia married?
10374Yourself?
10374A quick resolution formed in her mind:"Nobody but the Ramblin''Kid could ride the filly?"
10374Ah, would she hold up her arm as she went down-- down-- and reach out her hand as if to wave the world a last, long farewell?
10374And why the day- and- day- about courting of yourself by Uncle Josiah and Parker?
10374And you knowed all the time that I was getting paid to make love to you?
10374Anyhow, well, they were having a good time and what was the use of bothering them?
10374As they started away Carolyn June asked:"Which way now, Uncle Josiah?"
10374At last, Skinny, handing a towel to Bert after drying his own sun- tanned face and hands, remarked inanely:"Chuck ai n''t come, has he?"
10374At the car, before his horse was fairly stopped, Chuck leaned over and asked, tensely:"Have any of you people seen th''Ramblin''Kid?"
10374Bert broke in;"was she pretty affectionate?"
10374Bert exclaimed as the cowboys started toward the stable,"did n''t the young one show her teeth sudden?"
10374But I suppose he ca n''t help it-- I wonder why men are always falling in love with me, anyhow?
10374But how does that come, anyhow?
10374But we''ll start the beef hunt Monday the way I said in the first place--""Who''s going to cook, this year, on the round- up?"
10374But which was it-- the first half?--the last half?
10374But-- oh, hell, what''s the difference?
10374Carolyn June called, suddenly whirling around on the piano stool as she finished the last bars of_ La Paloma_,"may I have a horse?"
10374Carolyn June laughed sympathetically,"ca n''t you either?"
10374Chuck said, still holding the bundle in his hand,"--ain''t it too early for lovers to bu''st up for the night?
10374Do n''t reckon you''ve taught Old Quicksilver to run yet, have you?"
10374Do you think our little''counterplot''was a success?"
10374Does Parker know?"
10374Down there?
10374Flip Williams interrupted,"ai n''t neither of you going to take part?"
10374Had it been run?
10374Has he come to-- to-- haunt me?"
10374He was only an ignorant rider of the range-- why trouble at all about him?
10374He was rewarded:"What do you know about''teleglams''?
10374Hell, what''s the use?"
10374Her eyes?
10374Her mouth?
10374His mouth, Carolyn June thought, showed a trace of cruelty-- or was it only firmness?
10374How could she know he was sleeping under the shed?
10374How long before it clutched at her throat?
10374How long had they been running?
10374How many times had they gone around the track?
10374How''s the Cimarron?
10374I suppose you''ll meet me half- way and receive the stock in Eagle Butte?"
10374I wonder what the Ramblin''Kid would say if he knew I was stealing your heart?"
10374If I do she can ride th''maverick When you an''her go on your honeymoon--""What''s a honeymoon?"
10374If I wanted to I could tell you more about what is in your mind than you yourself could tell--""Could you?"
10374In the mind of every cowboy on the ranch there was one thought unexpressed but very insistent that night,"Wonder what She looks like?"
10374Is dinner ready?"
10374Is he also to be a''Victim''?"
10374Is there one?"
10374It breathed the unfathomable strife of life-- of love, longing, hope, despair-- almost, yet subtly, elusively, would not tell the eternal"Why?"
10374It kept beating back:_ Th''sweepstakes-- th''race_--What time was it?
10374It''s up to Old Heck or Parker to represent Cupid to the widow--""Who the hell''s Cupid?"
10374Let''s see,"he added calculatingly,"how many Y- Bar cattle do you figure you''ve got running on the Vermejo range-- five thousand?"
10374Little Horse"--the Ramblin''Kid spoke tensely and without repression--"why ca n''t humans be as decent an''honest as you?"
10374Maybe alle samee somebody sickee?"
10374Old Heck asked suspiciously;"have you found out anything dangerous about that''Movement''or whatever it is Ophelia''s mixed up in?"
10374Old Heck asked uneasily,"what''s happened?
10374Old Heck asked, puzzled by the queer jumble coming from the lips of the Quarter Circle KT foreman,"and how crazy?"
10374Old Heck gasped,"what does it say?
10374Old Heck half groaned,"what-- what sort of a-- a--''Movement''did she say it was, anyhow?"
10374Old Heck turned the check slowly over in his hand and looked at it with a quizzical frown on his face:"I reckon this is good?"
10374Ophelia exclaimed, looking interested,"and is that the way they catch-- mavericks?"
10374Ophelia who?"
10374Parker interrupted hastily, looking more uneasy and foolish than ever;"why ai n''t he here?"
10374Resisting an officer?"
10374Sabota having th''Ramblin''Kid''doped''the day of the sweepstakes?"
10374She was to die alone, horribly, in the treacherous sands of the Cimarron?
10374Skinny asked Carolyn June as they stepped on to the porch,"take a ride?"
10374Skinny asked;"where''s Mike?"
10374Skinny said,"what''ll we do?"
10374So this was it?
10374So this was the end?
10374Starve me to death?"
10374Th''name of th''horse?
10374That makes the big race come Friday-- a week from next Friday, ai n''t it?"
10374The Mexican,"referring to Pedro,"will probably do some roping--""What about you and the Ramblin''Kid?"
10374The Ramblin''Kid saw it and the faintest hint of a smile showed on his lips-- or was the suggestion of amusement in the twinkling glance of his eyes?
10374The ladies with love kill quick when the love is-- what you call him?--the jilt?"
10374Then, speaking to Skinny:"They''ve already had their dinner and wo n''t be in till supper- time--""Are they cowboys?"
10374There are things to discuss--""Would you mind if I drove around to the court- house first?"
10374There was something-- what was it?
10374Vhy do n''t you do it if you''re so light on your feet?"
10374Was it a-- a-- stampede?
10374Well, now ai n''t that funny?"
10374What do you want to buy?"
10374What do you want with Sabota?"
10374What if she married him and then suddenly broke loose as a speech- maker or something for woman''s rights?
10374What was it?
10374What would he do with a wife if he had one?
10374What''ll he be in week?"
10374What''s he riding?"
10374What?
10374Where was he?
10374Where was he?
10374Where''s Skinny?
10374Where''s Skinny?"
10374Which one?
10374Who for?"
10374Why did n''t you say you were sick?
10374Why did she want to go and get things all mixed up like this?
10374Why is Skinny Rawlins thrown into my lap as my''regular''lover?
10374Why was n''t he in the bunk- house where he belonged?
10374Will you be waitin''?"
10374Will you keep faith an''be true, Carolyn June?
10374Will you keep faith an''be true--?
10374Wonder if Sing Pete has any around anywhere?"
10374Wonder if a feller could get any boot- leg liquor?"
10374Wonder what it''s about?"
10374Would he cross at the upper or lower ford?
10374Would the sand draw her down-- down-- until it covered her so none would ever know where or how she died?
10374Would they guess the thing that had happened?
10374Would they know?
10374You have him sugal-- how muchee you want?"
10374he must n''t forget_-- He fought his way to his feet and groped along back of the building-- the stall-- which way was it?
10374he said almost brutally,"play with me like you played with them other blamed idiots th''night of th''dance?"
10374she laughed,"you ca n''t help telling''em, can you?
10374the Ramblin''Kid laughed gently,"--you thought I was mean last night, did n''t you?"
10374the Ramblin''Kid queried with a note of scorn in his voice,"an''forget your sorrows?"
10374the lanky Missourian answered with a sly grin;"who said he put a gun on me-- or resisted an officer or anything?
10374the widow interrupted,"do you think he is one of the conspirators-- is in on the-- the--''frame- up?''
10374the widow repeated inquiringly,"just what does''framed''mean, my dear?"
10374thought better of it and with a careless laugh answered:"If you''re huntin''entertainment, why do n''t you go up to Eagle Butte to th''picture show?
10374what''s th''use of killin''just to kill?"
63159A what?
63159About what?
63159Africano?
63159Ai n''t you going to say something? 63159 Am I?"
63159And maybe you and her was the only ones who knew where it was, then, no?
63159And still, Crawford, does n''t it intrigue you?
63159And what have we got when we do reach Snake Thickets?
63159Are they crazy?
63159Are you afraid to make the bet? 63159 Are you suggesting-- that you--""Why not?"
63159Because if I had done it, the whole thing could have been nothing more than the quarrel between me and Rockland?
63159But there is a good reason for the name Mogotes Serpientes?
63159Ca n''t you relax, Crawford? 63159 Ca n''t you see what you''re doing to my_ trigueño_?
63159Ca n''t you understand? 63159 Coffee?"
63159Could n''t you see it? 63159 Crawford, do n''t you understand?
63159Crawford, what is it? 63159 Crawford?"
63159Del, are you trying to tell me you did n''t kill Rockland?
63159Delcazar?
63159Did I ask for any of your stupid proverbs, Aforismo?
63159Did it ever occur to you,he said,"that the legs might not really be completely healed?"
63159Did you ever see the_ dichos_ on my belduque?
63159Did you find it?
63159Did you just stumble onto it too?
63159Did you see any Rangers around?
63159Did you see that_ mangana_? 63159 Did you?"
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you like that_ bravo_, Crawford? 63159 Do n''t you think I know what is the matter with you, Crawford?
63159Do n''t you think three months in the hospital cools a man off some, Ed?
63159Do n''t you?
63159Do you doubt my ability to do it, Crawford, if necessary?
63159Do you know what it is to be a peon in Mexico? 63159 Do you know who has the other piece, Crawford?"
63159Do you realize what it did to me? 63159 Do you think the murderer is here?"
63159Do you understand that?
63159Do you?
63159Do your legs hurt now?
63159Does Delcazar know? 63159 Does it?"
63159Does n''t it?
63159Ever stop to think of Santa Anna''s full name?
63159Glenn, you ai n''t going back?
63159Glenn--"Yes?
63159Have n''t I proved that?
63159Have you ever heard of Mogotes Serpientes?
63159Have you got a license?
63159Here, perhaps? 63159 Hide out?
63159Hm?
63159How about Tarant?
63159How about the riding, Glenn?
63159How are you, Crawford?
63159How could I know? 63159 How did it get broke?"
63159How did it get broke?
63159How did it happen to Whitehead?
63159How did it happen?
63159How did you find us?
63159How did you lose the sorrel? 63159 How did you lose the sorrel?"
63159How do I know? 63159 How do you get in, Delcazar?"
63159How do you like that,_ señorita_?
63159How does this line up with Tinaja de la Tortuga?
63159How is Del mixed up in this?
63159How many bulls you got in that corral, Aforismo? 63159 How many shots does that Winchester hold?"
63159How''d he break his neck?
63159How''s that, Huerta?
63159How''s the sorrel?
63159How-- how did you get out?
63159Huerta came up?
63159Huerta--"Yes?
63159Huerta?
63159Hurry, Crawford, hurry, please, what are you doing this for? 63159 Hyacinth, what did you think of that story about Santa Anna''s chests?"
63159I guess I do n''t know, really, do I?
63159I guess there''s no use denying it, is there?
63159I said where you going?
63159I think it would be wise, now, Crawford, for you to come with me, up to the house, do n''t you?
63159I think maybe we better all go in the bunkhouse, eh? 63159 I think we all know what happened to Whitehead,"he said,"do n''t you?"
63159I''m still here, ai n''t I?
63159If?
63159Impression about what, Huerta?
63159Is it?
63159Is it?
63159Is n''t he?
63159Is n''t that the same piece of side meat you had when we were here last?
63159Is that sufficient reason?
63159Is there a way into Snake Thickets, Del?
63159It seems that you have n''t got one friend left on the Rockland_ estancia_, does n''t it,_ Señor_ Crawford?
63159It was hit?
63159It_ is_ a Ranger?
63159Just what did happen out there?
63159License?
63159Like in a fall?
63159Llano Sacaguista, Puenta Piedra, Resaca Perdida-- you do n''t know any of these?
63159Lopez?
63159Merida? 63159 Merida?"
63159Merida?
63159Merida?
63159Merida?
63159Montezuma Embrujada?
63159No pain? 63159 No, damn you, no, I--""Pain?"
63159No,he said,"no-- listen--""What''s wrong with your gun?"
63159No--"Here?
63159No? 63159 Oh?"
63159Otis,he cried,"Otis, did Del give you this?
63159Otis?
63159Otis?
63159Perhaps I should have said,_ can_ you?
63159Perhaps you would like a drink-- after what happened, no?
63159Quartel--"_ Sí?_The man had released Merida and wheeled to face Crawford.
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Quartel?
63159Santa Anna''s chests?
63159Snake Thickets? 63159 Speaking of Quartel, that was quite an exhibition this afternoon, was n''t it?
63159Still got those cavalry boots?
63159Still snipping cinches, Bueno?
63159That''s inconceivable to you, is n''t it?
63159The lawman?
63159The man at Rockland''s?
63159The map?
63159The_ derrotero_? 63159 Then why are you so het- up if you do n''t know anything about it?"
63159Then why did n''t you leave?
63159Then why so stiff?
63159Then why watch?
63159Then, those other lawmen--"The ones I told you about when I found you at Delcazar''s?
63159Then-- you did n''t?
63159They''ll think it was Delcazar, wo n''t they? 63159 They?"
63159Think I can do it that way?
63159Think I''d have a chance? 63159 This the river?"
63159To Crawford,said Merida,"or Whitehead?"
63159Trying to tell you? 63159 Was it just the land?"
63159Was it?
63159Well,said the woman impatiently,"is it?"
63159Whadda you mean?
63159Whaddaya mean?
63159What about the horse?
63159What about the way I was watching it?
63159What are you doing?
63159What are you saying?
63159What are you talking about? 63159 What are you talking about?"
63159What are you trying to do, Huerta?
63159What caliber you got?
63159What did happen to you, Crawford?
63159What do you know, Del?
63159What do you mean?
63159What do you mean?
63159What do you think?
63159What else?
63159What good would it do, Crawford? 63159 What happened, Crawford?"
63159What happened, Del? 63159 What happened?"
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What happened?
63159What have they done to her?
63159What have you got in your hand?
63159What horse you on now?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is it?
63159What is n''t the way?
63159What kind of crowbait is this?
63159What kind of horse you on?
63159What makes you so touchy about a badge- packer?
63159What saddle you in now?
63159What sorrel?
63159What type do you think I am?
63159What was it out there, Glenn?
63159What''s the idea, Huerta?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford? 63159 What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford? 63159 What''s the matter, Crawford?"
63159What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Crawford?
63159What''s the matter, Juarez?
63159What''s the matter?
63159What?
63159What?
63159What?
63159What_ do_ you want?
63159When are you letting the_ toros_ out? 63159 When do you mean?"
63159Where did you find him, Crawford?
63159Where is Quartel?
63159Where is Quartel?
63159Where you going?
63159Where you going?
63159Where''s Quartel?
63159Where''s the rest of it, Glenn?
63159Where''s the sorrel?
63159Where''s the sorrel?
63159Where''s your iron?
63159Which one of us do you think murdered Otis Rockland?
63159Whitehead was Quartel''s man?
63159Who else?
63159Who is it?
63159Who said he did?
63159Who was it downstairs?
63159Who was right?
63159Who?
63159Whose chests? 63159 Why did you bring Whitehead back, Crawford?"
63159Why did you come back with Whitehead?
63159Why did you come back?
63159Why do n''t you sit down?
63159Why do n''t you sit down?
63159Why do n''t you think things out a bit longer before you see Otis Rockland again?
63159Why do n''t you try it, Crawford?
63159Why does it disturb you so much, Crawford, if you feel no pain?
63159Why else did you give me the knife?
63159Why else were you so het- up when I got Delcazar''s spread? 63159 Why not skirt that section of the_ brasada_ until we strike Rio Diablo?
63159Why not?
63159Why should Merida do such a thing?
63159Why should Whitehead want to kill you?
63159Why should he find out?
63159Why should she want to get rid of you?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Will you never trust me, Crawford? 63159 Will you stop that, Bueno?"
63159With ropes?
63159Wo n''t you sit down? 63159 Would that give her a connection?"
63159Would you like my Loyal Lover to see inside the sack?
63159Would you serve, Wallace?
63159Yeah?
63159Yeah?
63159You are beginning to see, no? 63159 You do n''t think I am any good?"
63159You do n''t think that''s too much of a hair trigger, do you? 63159 You feel all right this morning?"
63159You fell?
63159You have n''t been in the_ brasada_ long, have you?
63159You heard the one about the map?
63159You mean you thought you was running from a Ranger?
63159You owe somebody something?
63159You refuse to give one inch, do n''t you? 63159 You say his neck is broken?"
63159You think she put Africano in there?
63159You think that''s why she did it?
63159You think you can do this to me?
63159You want to try and stop me?
63159You''re offering me some kind of proposition?
63159You''ve never actually been there?
63159Your job?
63159Your legs do n''t hurt now, do they?
63159Your woman?
63159_ Carne adobada, carne adobada?_said Jacinto, waddling in.
63159_ Compañeros_, ca n''t you hear me? 63159 _ Cristo_, will somebody take it out?
63159_ Derrotero?_she said, watching his face narrowly.
63159_ Dichos?_ What right have you got to_ dichos_? 63159 _ Dichos?_ What right have you got to_ dichos_?
63159_ Dios_, Crawford, how did you throw it so hard? 63159 _ Dónde esta Merida?_"he shouted.
63159_ Madre de Dios_, Crawford, why do you let him do this thing?
63159_ Marshal_ Quartel?
63159_ Pechero?_he said, swiftly buckling the bull- hide chaps on.
63159_ Tu barrachon, largo de aqui, tu chile, no puedo sufrir su insolencia--_"My insolence?
63159_ Válgame Dios._ What happened? 63159 Aforismo? 63159 Africano, maybe?
63159An old complaint._ Huerta?
63159An old complaint?
63159Aphorisms?
63159Are you afraid of the horse?"
63159Are you all right?
63159Are you loco?
63159As for his presence among us, you are n''t afraid of him, are you, Wallace?"
63159Bible Two?
63159Ca n''t you hear me?
63159Ca n''t you see what she did?
63159Ca n''t you see what they were doing?
63159Ca n''t you understand?
63159Can we?
63159Can you understand that?
63159Coming, Merida?"
63159Could anybody where you come from do it?"
63159Could they?
63159Crawford?"
63159Did n''t you see how Quartel looked at you?
63159Did that stay with you a long time, Crawford?
63159Did they take her?
63159Did you ever see my knife, Crawford?
63159Did you ever see such fine molds?
63159Did you see that?
63159Did you see what they were trying to do with you?
63159Did you think I was finished?
63159Dissolute?
63159Do n''t you know this is the way Oro Peso died down in Mexico?
63159Do n''t you know?
63159Do n''t you like that in a woman?
63159Do n''t you, Merida?"
63159Do you blame me for marrying Capitán Mendoza when he asked?
63159Do you realize what it did to me?
63159Do you still maintain you did n''t murder Rockland?"
63159Does a man like you have any conception of that kind of money?
63159Does that satisfy you?"
63159Feel any pain?"
63159Feel that?
63159Four hours?
63159Had he screamed it?
63159Had him trapped?
63159Had that been him?
63159Has n''t he been through enough today?
63159Have you ever seen better?
63159He really cracked up good, did n''t he?
63159Here?"
63159Him?
63159Hm?
63159How about it, Merida?
63159How about yours?"
63159How can it be?
63159How could I be?_"Take it easy,"snapped Bueno.
63159How could it be?
63159How did Rockland get hold of this portion?"
63159How did he get here?
63159How did you mean?"
63159How did you stand it so long, Crawford?
63159How did you stand it?"
63159How do I know anything?
63159How do you like it?
63159How do you mean?"
63159How does that belduque know?"
63159Huerta had stopped them?
63159Huerta?
63159Huerta?"
63159I did n''t touch it with my hands, did I?
63159I rod this outfit and I can do anything I want and nobody can stop me, do you hear?"
63159I told you, did n''t I?"
63159I was so afraid--""Merida-- Where are you?"
63159I''ll bet it goes clear through the wall into-- Crawford, where you going?"
63159If you''d had a gun, would you have used it today?
63159In bed and in jail we know our friends?
63159Is it inconceivable to you?"
63159Is it too sweet for you?
63159Is n''t it pretty?"
63159Is n''t there always, with something like that?"
63159Is that what you want?
63159It''s all here, is n''t it?
63159It''s what she came up here in the first place for, is n''t it?
63159Jacinto?
63159Kill him like that?
63159Like it got me?
63159Look at the scabby_ pordiosero_--""Who was it did n''t like violence?"
63159Made for laughter and wassail and song?
63159Making candles?"
63159Merida came to you for help, did n''t she?"
63159Merida eo puso alli, en su cuarto!_""My room?"
63159Merida, will you honor me?"
63159On your undershirt?"
63159Or was it excitation?
63159Or was it the waiting?
63159Pain?"
63159Pain?"
63159Pain?"
63159Please, Crawford, what more can you want?
63159Savvy?"
63159Seven?
63159She forced herself away, saying it in a cold tone,"Africano?"
63159Shrill, and cracked, like that?
63159Sort of brings back things, does n''t it?
63159Sort of scary, is n''t it?
63159Sure, why not?
63159That belduque never kissed anything but the inside of your belt--""_ Madre_,"howled Aforismo,"take it easy, will you?"
63159That get you, Bailey?
63159That get you, Whitehead?
63159That get you?
63159That''s ironic, is n''t it?
63159They did this to you?"
63159They had n''t found him?
63159They thought they could do this to him?
63159They thought they could lock him in a stall with a killer?
63159They thought they had him?
63159Think he''d just wait?
63159Those eyes?
63159Three hours?
63159To come out on the porch that morning and see you standing there beside Whitehead''s body, knowing what it meant?"
63159Tripe is sweet but bowels are better, eh?"
63159Tripe is sweet?
63159Was Oro Peso better?"
63159What are you after there, Glenn?"
63159What are you doing here?"
63159What are you talking about, Otis?"
63159What do you think of it, Huerta?
63159What do you want?"
63159What good are they now?
63159What happened?"
63159What happened?"
63159What is it, Huerta?
63159What the hell?
63159What time had it been?
63159What will you do if I let you go?"
63159What would Kenmare do if he found we''d caught Crawford and had n''t notified the authorities?"
63159What would he do if he found out, for sure, one way or another?"
63159What''s the matter?
63159Where did you find him?"
63159Where did you get this map?"
63159Where do you pin the badge?
63159Where is she?
63159Where was the rest of it?
63159Where''s my horse?
63159Where?
63159Which do you like best, Crawford?"
63159Who is going to put the blindfold on?
63159Who wants pesos--""How do you get in?"
63159Who would suspect them of sending in a lawman who could n''t even sit a horse?"
63159Why do you all keep beating around the thicket this way?
63159Why do you think Huerta kept you up at the house this morning?
63159Why do you think they left me here?"
63159Why should Quartel want you killed?"
63159Why should he?"
63159Why, Crawford?
63159Why?
63159Why?
63159Will you get out of my way?"
63159Will you?"
63159Would you have pulled yours on him?"
63159Yet, the possibility of sincerity--"Shall we go into the kitchen?"
63159You could ride any horse I could, remember?"
63159You found what you wanted?"
63159You know what my father he tell me?"
63159You think you can lock me in here like this?
63159You wanted him for cow work?
63159You''re hardly the type, are you?
63159You''re loco--""Who did it?
63159You''ve never seen it, have you?
63159_ All the symptoms of genuine pain._ Was that what Huerta had said?
63159_ Buenos días_, for an old_ amigo_, or how are things?"
63159_ Dónde, dónde?_""_ En su cuarto.
63159_ How could I be?
63159_ I''m not afraid, Huerta._ How could he be?
63159_ Nothing compares with my kiss._ Is n''t that a delectable motto?"
63159_ Proverbios._ Why do n''t you give us a saying now, Aforismo?"
63159_ Que hace?_ Who is it?
63159_ Que hace?_ Who is it?
63159_ Sabe?_""What''s Huerta got to say about it?"
63159_ Sabe?_""What''s Huerta got to say about it?"
63159_ Tripe is sweet but bowels are better._ Do n''t you like that one best?"
63159_ Tripe is sweet but bowels are better._ Do n''t you like that one, Jacinto?"
22328A trapper, maybe?
22328About this rustler-- would you know him again?
22328Ai n''t you goin''to help us string up the Mexican?
22328Ai n''t you got no education? 22328 All alone, eh?"
22328Am I needin''help?
22328An''did n''t I have to turn down his offer an''hang on to a dollar- a- day job?
22328An''if they jump us up, how''re they goin''to know how much we''ve seen? 22328 An''where do we get off?"
22328And Ellison wants him, does he?
22328And if we''re attacked?
22328And if you did-- what of it? 22328 And mebbe a posse wo n''t find him-- what then?"
22328And the other?
22328And what have you been doing to yourself?
22328And you have n''t heard from him since?
22328And you never satisfied your curiosity about who the rustler was?
22328And you went?
22328Any objections?
22328Anybody else run cattle there except old man Wadley?
22328Are they headed this way?
22328Are you alone?
22328Are you givin''me an assignment, Captain?
22328Are you hurt?
22328Are you sure you''re taking in enough territory?
22328Are you?
22328Are-- are you hurt?
22328Art, will you keep cases on Overstreet an''see whether he leaves town right away?
22328As a favor to you, because of what you''re doin''for me?
22328As a tenderfoot- wrangler?
22328Asleep, girl?
22328Been across the valley to the herd yet?
22328But what am I to do? 22328 But what can you do?
22328But-- what shall I do?
22328By dog, did Clint send you money for savin''''Mona?
22328Ca n''t we wait until some one comes?
22328Can I hire you to ride with me to Tascosa?
22328Can you do that without being noticed?
22328Can you shoot?
22328Can you stop them?
22328Cap''n Ellison there, sah?
22328Could n''t you wait a little? 22328 Did I ever tell you, Miss Ramona, about the time Texas an''me went to Denver?
22328Did any of them come?
22328Did he get away?
22328Did he?
22328Did n''t I?
22328Did n''t he send you to the Dinsmores after me?
22328Did they? 22328 Did they_ say_ they wanted to see me?"
22328Did you ever see anything like the way he got shet o''that drummer?
22328Did you figure I was yellow like Steve, Clint? 22328 Did you fix it all up with Dad?"
22328Did you?
22328Do n''t I?
22328Do n''t you know a flag of truce when you see it, Dinsmore?
22328Do n''t you, Dad?
22328Do n''t you- all see I''m talkin''business?
22328Do they?
22328Do you call yoreself a woman-- a little bit of a trick like you? 22328 Do you like my voice?"
22328Do you mean that you''ll give me up unless I let Dinsmore escape before we reach town?
22328Do you spell_ scoundrel_ with a_ k_?
22328Do you want me to arrest Gurley?
22328Do? 22328 Do?
22328Earnin''that dollar a day, are you?
22328Enforcin''that rule, are they?
22328Evidence?
22328For the A T O?
22328Friend, are you Clint Wadley''s messenger?
22328Friends of mine?
22328Goddlemighty, man, why did you come here?
22328Goddlemighty, what''s eatin''you?
22328Goin''to take that job Clint offered you?
22328Had n''t I better come too?
22328Have I?
22328Have you got one handy?
22328Have you spoken to Captain Ellison yet?
22328He told me--"That boy''s still worryin''about losin''that money for Mr. Wadley, do n''t you reckon? 22328 How bad is it with you, Art?"
22328How did you escape?
22328How did you know we were here?
22328How do you know it''s Dinsmore? 22328 How do you know?"
22328How do you like Art Ridley?
22328How far do you think we are now from the ranch?
22328How far do you''low to go? 22328 How in Mexico can we move faster when Dave ca n''t stand it?"
22328How many boys you want with you?
22328How many?
22328How much of this money do you think is comin''to you, Ford?
22328How much?
22328How will I know whether you get through the sentries?
22328How''d you like to have yore wages lowered?
22328How?
22328How?
22328How?
22328Howcome that?
22328I could n''t very well have you keep shoutin''out,''I''m a girl,''so I figured--?
22328I was n''t singing it for you the other time, but for Mr.--what''s- his- name, Gurley?
22328I''m askin'', do you?
22328If I call you will you come?
22328If it''s a matter of brains, why do Indians make the best trailers? 22328 If one of us goes, how can he get away?"
22328Indigestion?
22328Is Jumbo a specialist in gossip?
22328Is he? 22328 Is n''t there a chance that the Dinsmores will follow us and find out we''re alone?"
22328Is n''t there any one else in this condemned burg can pull teeth?
22328Is that a- plenty?
22328Is that what you came to tell me, Dinsmore?
22328Is there goin''to be a hangin''?
22328Kinda lonesome out there, ai n''t it?
22328Kinda sudden, ai n''t it, Tex?
22328Like him? 22328 Looks kinda like Nature made the desert an''grinned at life, much as to say,''I defy you to live there,''do n''t it?
22328Lost him, have you?
22328Makin''yore will, are you?
22328Many of''em?
22328May I walk with you, Miss Ramona?
22328Meanin''?
22328Meanin''just what, Ford?
22328Meanin''that he''s here?
22328Much of a posse with you?
22328Need any help, do you reckon?
22328Nor grandstandin''with any more_ ladino_ steers?
22328ONLY ONE MOB, AIN''T THERE?
22328Oh, ai n''t it?
22328Or woman?
22328Playin''up to Clint, are you, Homer?
22328Put a coupla sticks between the roots of his fingers an''press--"Think we''re a bunch of''Paches, Steve?
22328Say, Tex, honest Injun, would you''a''fired off that dynamite if it had come to a showdown?
22328Seen Cap Ellison this mo''nin''? 22328 Shall I wake him?
22328Since when?
22328So? 22328 So?"
22328Sure it''s necessary? 22328 That kid in buckskin?"
22328That so? 22328 That so?
22328That so? 22328 That you, Homer?"
22328The point is, why should we be held responsible? 22328 Then I go along, do I?"
22328Then you''ll let''em hang him?
22328Then, will you ask him to come too? 22328 There''s goin''to be only one mob, too, ai n''t there?"
22328They''re out again, are they-- the devils?
22328Think I could get away?
22328Think we''re plumb idjits? 22328 Thirty?"
22328Three of us did this job, did n''t we?
22328Tony saw all this, did he?
22328Wadley fire you?
22328Want to turn him loose, do you?
22328Was he after me or you?
22328Was it to save yourself you flung yourself down in front of father and let that awful man Dinsmore shoot at you?
22328Was it you shot Wadley?
22328Was n''t it you told me once about bumpin''into a rustler doin''business whilst you was ridin''the line?
22328We''d better leave at once, do n''t you think?
22328We''re gaining?
22328Well, did you find out who he was?
22328Well, did you take him back to the ranch for a necktie party, or did you bury him in the gulch?
22328Well, wha''s the matter with you scoutin''up Box Cañon an''seein''what you find?
22328Well, why do n''t you?
22328Well, you old son of a mule- skinner, what''s the matter with that? 22328 Wha- what do you want?"
22328What about it?
22328What about this Mexican? 22328 What about you?"
22328What are they like?
22328What are you aimin''to do with him, Jack?
22328What are you goin''to say-- that you murdered him, shot him down from behind?
22328What business?
22328What can one man do against thirty? 22328 What did I tell you?"
22328What did you expect him to tell you? 22328 What do you mean by drivin''these wild critters through town?
22328What do you say to twenty dollars for the trip?
22328What do you take me for, Pete? 22328 What do you want?"
22328What does a woman always want?
22328What does he know? 22328 What does that buy us?"
22328What fix am I in?
22328What for?
22328What for?
22328What ground do you cover?
22328What if they rush me?
22328What in blue blazes--?
22328What in hell do you mean to do, then?
22328What is it that I am to do?
22328What is it you want Tony for?
22328What kind of a man would I be for you to marry if I threw down on what was right just because you asked me to an''I wanted to do it?
22328What makes you so gaunted, Jack? 22328 What makes you think this fellow has friends near, Homer?"
22328What was Clint payin''you?
22328What was it all about?
22328What was it he told you, and what did you find?
22328What was the use of comin''to me at all, then? 22328 What were you doin''so far from town?"
22328What would I be doing here without a horse if I had friends?
22328What would I do with him if you got him?
22328What would_ you_ do?
22328What you do that for?
22328What''s Ellison''s proposition?
22328What''s ailin''you? 22328 What''s ailin''you?"
22328What''s it to you? 22328 What''s that?"
22328What''s the kid going to Tascosa for?
22328What''s the matter with Wadley? 22328 What''s the matter, kid?
22328What''s the programme?
22328What''s the rumpus?
22328What''s yore idea, then, Homer? 22328 What''s_ she_ doin''here?"
22328Whatta you doin''here?
22328When can we start for home?
22328When?
22328Where am I most likely to find Wadley?
22328Where are the Rangers I sent for?
22328Where are these anxious citizens, Jumbo?
22328Where are they?
22328Where can I find Nelson?
22328Where did you dream that stuff, Wadley?
22328Where did you get the notion I was yellow, old- timer? 22328 Where do you get that notion you''re a roughneck, Tex?"
22328Where from?
22328Where in the world have you been?
22328Where is Ellison?
22328Where''s Captain Ellison waiting?
22328Where''s the man who gave you this?
22328Where''s yore hawss?
22328Which?
22328Who elected you boss of this outfit, Steve? 22328 Who invited you here?"
22328Who said anything about bein''a friend? 22328 Who said so?
22328Who told you that, honey?
22328Who were they?
22328Who you ridin''for, young fellow?
22328Who''s likely to come? 22328 Who''s the damsel?"
22328Whose orders?
22328Why did he send for me, then, if he meant to light out? 22328 Why do n''t you ever come to see a fellow any more?"
22328Why do n''t you tell the truth? 22328 Why do you come and-- and follow me?"
22328Why is it that there''s more warfare on the desert than there is back East? 22328 Why should I go?
22328Why should I?
22328Why-- what do you mean?
22328Why-- why ca n''t we both go?
22328Why? 22328 Why?
22328Why?
22328Why?
22328Whyfor do you ask me about it?
22328Whyfor does he want me?
22328Whyn''t you tell me all that?
22328Will he?
22328Will she let you talk?
22328Will they fight?
22328Will you answer me one question? 22328 Will you go an''get him one?"
22328Will you go too?
22328Will you tell him, Uncle Jim, that I want to see him?
22328Will-- will he live?
22328Worried? 22328 Would a calf milk its mother?
22328Would the Dinsmores shoot us if they found us?
22328Would you-- if it was up to you?
22328Would you?
22328Yes, but-- just what would you do about it?
22328Yes?
22328You ca n''t handle a mob all by yoreself, can you?
22328You did n''t come alone?
22328You got a warrant for me?
22328You mean an accident?
22328You mean that he_ did n''t_ say he wanted to leave Dinsmore?
22328You mean you went in there on a pure bluff, knowing how they hated you and what a big chance there was that they would murder you?
22328You remember that day when Arthur Ridley brought me home?
22328You saw him ridin''through? 22328 You think the Dinsmores did this, Jack?"
22328You think we''ve got him?
22328You travel a good deal, do n''t you-- about the country?
22328You''re Clint Wadley''s daughter, then?
22328You''re not figurin''on takin''my horse, are you?
22328You''re not goin''to throw me over because I''ve got to do what I think right,''Mona?
22328You''re not going to let him... mistreat me, are you?
22328Young fellow, have you ever thought that Ridley never was held up, that it was a fake robbery pulled off to deceive me? 22328 A likely young fellow--"Where''s yore six- shooter?
22328Ai n''t you got a lick o''sense a- tall?
22328Ai n''t you got better sense than to trail rustlers with no weapon but a Sunday- School text?
22328Aimin''to shoot up the town, are you?"
22328Anything more?"
22328Appetite kind o''gone?"
22328Are they going to hang him?"
22328Are you going to let them do it?"
22328Bearded?
22328Been scarin''any more young ladies to death?"
22328Better take Moser, had n''t you?"
22328But do n''t you see I ca n''t?
22328But how many of''em will you lose on the way?
22328But what''s a fellow to do?
22328But who is the young fellow I had the mixup with?"
22328But why not take yore time?
22328CHAPTER XIII"ONLY ONE MOB, AIN''T THERE?"
22328Ca n''t throw him down, can I?"
22328Can you loan me some till Pedro gits around?
22328Can you shoot?"
22328Close call for both of us, eh?
22328Could this wan and ragged man with the unkempt beard be Art Ridley, always so careful of his clothes and his personal appearance?
22328Dark?
22328Did he mean to give up his prisoner without a fight?
22328Did he see their horses?
22328Did n''t Clint Wadley offer you the job of bossin''the best cow- ranch in the Panhandle?"
22328Did n''t he save Clint Wadley''s life?
22328Did n''t he stay by Dinsmore when the Kiowas had''em holed?
22328Did n''t you arrest him yoreself for it?"
22328Did n''t you see from the first we were n''t in any danger?
22328Did they use any names?
22328Did you grow up like Topsy, without any folks?
22328Do n''t you get it?
22328Do n''t you know better than to mix up in men''s affairs an''git yoreself talked about?"
22328Do n''t you see that we''ve_ got_ to help Mr. Dinsmore because he did so much for me?"
22328Do n''t you?"
22328Do you reckon I''d ought to let him hang?"
22328Do you reckon I''m goin''to run like a cur now you''ve struck a streak o''bad luck?"
22328Does he expect you to let Ford run it over you?
22328Does that look reasonable, Clint?"
22328Even if he''s seen those cattle he ca n''t prove we burned the brands, can he?"
22328Fine for a full- grown man, ai n''t it?
22328Got the stuff all safe?"
22328Got to see another man, have you?"
22328Grandstander?"
22328Had Roberts brought out the Mexican with the intention of making a merely formal resistance?
22328Had that shot been fired by an Apache or by those whom he had come to aid?
22328Have n''t you any guts in you a- tall?"
22328Have n''t you been brought up a- tall?
22328Have they sent for the doctor?"
22328Have_ you_?"
22328He fought good enough to get shot up this mo''nin'', did n''t he?
22328He''s a Mexican, ai n''t he?
22328He''s not coming-- to make trouble, is he?"
22328Hear me, honey?"
22328Hear me, young fellow?"
22328Hear me?
22328How are we going to get him across the river?"
22328How could he help it?
22328How did you get here,''Mona?"
22328How in Mexico come he to send a boy to market for such a big stake?"
22328How long have you been riding for Wadley?"
22328How much was in that belt?"
22328How sorry will they look when you deliver the herd?
22328How they comin''?"
22328How''s Clint?"
22328How''s Dinsmore?"
22328How''s that?"
22328I cayn''t drop those off- brands by the way, can I?
22328I''m tellin''you-- see?
22328If Tony shot him on the bluff an''flung the body over, why did he have to go down below an''look at it?
22328Is it likely this Ridley, who do n''t know sic''''em, got so far away from the beaten trails alone?
22328Is it true they''re goin''to lynch him?"
22328Is that fair?"
22328Is that it?"
22328Is that it?"
22328Is this Mexico or God''s country?
22328Jack, do you... still like me?"
22328Jack, we''re lucky that a man like Homer Dinsmore was beside her yesterday, do n''t you reckon?"
22328Let''s dance,"she cried; then stopped and looked at him in surprise:"What''s the matter with you?"
22328Lookin''for anybody in particular?"
22328No reasons to offer, son?"
22328Not so?"
22328Now you, young fellow-- what''s your name?"
22328Now, if I could make out to get off for a few days--""You could get that sarsaparilla across the bar at the Bird Cage, could n''t you, Jumbo?"
22328Of what use was it?
22328Old?
22328Or was this meeting an accidental one?
22328Overstreet?"
22328Question is, can you find the cache?"
22328Question is, what''s safest for us?"
22328Ranger?"
22328Ridley?"
22328Ridley?"
22328Roberts?"
22328Said you was a rustler, did he?"
22328See?
22328See?"
22328See?"
22328See?"
22328Seen anything of''em?
22328Shall we stop right here with him?"
22328Short?
22328Some curious to see who the guy was that did n''t want to say''How?''
22328That would n''t be human, would it?"
22328They caught the fellow, did n''t they-- the one that did it?"
22328Think I''m goin''to let you rob me of my own money an''never cheep?
22328Think we''re goin''to take you home with the''Paches between us an''there?
22328Think you can take a herd up the trail to Tascosa?"
22328To identify the victim?
22328To make sure that the victim was quite dead?
22328Un''erstand?"
22328Understand, Jumbo?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Understand?"
22328Wadley?"
22328Want me to arrest Homer Dinsmore again?"
22328Want to go along?"
22328Was he tall?
22328Was it because of that day when she had come flying between him and the guns of Dinsmore''s lynching- party?
22328Was it being propelled by the current alone, or by some living power behind it?
22328Was it possible to save himself by going?
22328Was there a hidden meaning in that answer?
22328Was there a hint of slackness in the jaw of this good- looking boy?
22328Was this fellow Roberts alone, or had he a dozen Rangers in town with him?
22328Was this time at hand for the Panhandle?
22328Was this woman some one who had been living in Palo Duro Cañon with the outlaws?
22328We''ll keep this gent a prisoner till we know where we''re at?
22328Were his gayety, his loyalty, his fundamental decency, the affectionate sweetness of his disposition, to count for nothing?
22328What about you, Dinsmore?
22328What are you figurin''to do?"
22328What are you, stranger-- high- grade stuff, or the run o''the pen?"
22328What are your instructions, Captain?
22328What did this game Texan think of him who had proposed to leave a wounded man to his fate?
22328What do you reckon a killer like Overstreet cares for the law?
22328What do you reckon he pulled off on me whilst we was in Denver?"
22328What does he want?
22328What had he better do?
22328What in Mexico can you do alone?"
22328What in Sam Hill--?"
22328What kind of a gun is it?"
22328What kind of pilgrim was this fellow Moore?
22328What license have you ever had to think I''d leave a kid like her for the''Paches to play with?"
22328What makes you think they''re goin''to lynch Alviro?"
22328What more does a man need?"
22328What of it?"
22328What was a woman doing alone and on foot in this desert empty of human life for fifty miles or more?
22328What were the masked men like?
22328What''s likin''him got to do with it?
22328What''s the charge?"
22328What''s yore hurry?
22328What''s yore programme?"
22328What... what do you think he''s going to do?"
22328When I druv a wagon oncet gatherin''bones--""Gathering bones?"
22328Where are the rest of yore party?
22328Where had he been when she so desperately needed help?
22328Where is Ridley?
22328Where were they?
22328Where were you?"
22328Where''s the gold, Pete?"
22328Which way did they go?
22328Who is it?"
22328Who killed Rutherford Wadley?"
22328Who says you get a third?"
22328Who wants to live in a land where you do n''t have to rustle for a livin''?"
22328Who was it this time?"
22328Who was with you when the Indians took after you?"
22328Why ca n''t you let folks alone?"
22328Why cayn''t she go along with us an''hole up till the''Paches are gone an''till... things kinda settle down?"
22328Why did n''t you boys keep this under your hats?"
22328Why do n''t you use yore brains?"
22328Why does this fellow Ridley claim he''s alone?
22328Why fear, since he had to face the danger anyhow?
22328Why had she made such an exhibition of herself?
22328Why is it that the most tender- hearted young women like to see big two- fisted men afraid of them?
22328Why not make a clean job of it and wipe him out too?
22328Why should he let their folly destroy him too?
22328Why should he not dance?
22328Why should he stay to let these devils torture him?
22328Why should we shoot him?"
22328Why?
22328Whyfor should you an''me stretch a rope when we ca n''t help Dave a mite?
22328Will you go or stay?"
22328Will you have the horses right where I want''em when I want''em?"
22328Will you or wo n''t you?
22328Will you tell her I''m right sorry, Captain?"
22328Wo n''t you ever learn sense?
22328Would they choose that way out of the difficulty?
22328You cayn''t do it now, can you?
22328You do n''t see any big bunch of fat cows with my brand on''em, do you?
22328You got any friends on the way?
22328You have, ai n''t you?"
22328You mean... fight you?"
22328You shakin''for the drinks?
22328You would n''t say their brains are as good as a white man''s, would you?"
22328You would n''t... take advantage of that, Jack?"
22328You_ are_ still my friend, are n''t you?"
22328Young?
21960''But seven are not all alive?'' 21960 ''Last night we were a happy bunch, Last night about eleven--''Quoth you--''But why this sorry lot?
21960A Texas girl crying for a cup?
21960A reminder?
21960A success?
21960Alec, make room for Knight beside you, will you? 21960 Am I any relation to her?
21960Am I truly like her?
21960And Carita-- does she go camping, too?
21960And I suppose you drive as scientifically as you swim?
21960And I''d like to know-- how are we going to iron them?
21960And Kitty?
21960And college?
21960And do you mean to say that our Sarah, daughter of the Reverend Samuel Blake, wilfully broke the Sabbath by ironing?
21960And have n''t you felt the least little bit guilty about letting me write that letter to your grandfather?
21960And hawks are mean birds, are n''t they,--that kill little chickens and other birds?
21960And in turn, Blue Bonnet, you''ll give an eye to Grandfather, wo n''t you?
21960And is''Shady''a nickname, too?
21960And that is--?
21960And that?
21960And the next wish? 21960 And the summer is almost over,--did you ever know such a short vacation?"
21960And what shall I do?
21960And when was it you changed names again?
21960And you do n''t want to?
21960And you''ll write me often about-- everything? 21960 And you''ll write too, Aunt Lucinda?
21960Another tea- party on?
21960Any commissions for me in Jonah?
21960Are New England people supposed to be more patriotic than those of other states?
21960Are n''t Kitty and Blue Bonnet as chummy as they used to be?
21960Are n''t families the nicest things in all the world?
21960Are n''t we grand enough for the East?
21960Are n''t you going in for any others?
21960Are you awake?
21960Are you putting this up to me?
21960Are you quite tired out, Grandmother?
21960Are you sure it is n''t in the bread- box?
21960Are you sure you do n''t mean thing- a- ma- bob?
21960Are you sure you''re willing to give it up?
21960Asked Uncle Cliff? 21960 Astride?
21960Aunt Lucinda,she whispered hurriedly,"wo n''t you come, too?"
21960Aunt Lucinda--?
21960Blue Bonnet seems to have developed a sudden liking for''jarring notes,''does n''t she, girls?
21960Blue Bonnet,she asked suddenly,"may I drive for a little while?"
21960Both?
21960But I''m not an ordinary man, eh?
21960But did n''t you hint?
21960But the possessors of wealth should be taught the value of money, just the same, do n''t you think so?
21960But what did you''bag?''
21960But you''ll wait and go with us, wo n''t you, Uncle?
21960Ca n''t Sarah do my practising while I do her riding?
21960Ca n''t go?
21960Ca n''t you arrange that trifling exchange for Alec?
21960Ca n''t you imagine the newspaper headings:''Senator Red- top of Texas''--?
21960DEAR SUSY AND RUTH: There''s only room for me to say hello, and how are you? 21960 Decorating the table is n''t''simple,''is it?"
21960Did I hear you sigh?
21960Did I hear you speak, Sarah?
21960Did Ruth look like that? 21960 Did n''t she go with you?
21960Did n''t you ever get lonesome here?
21960Did n''t you hear Grandmother say:''When you''re in Texas do as the Texans do?'' 21960 Did she?"
21960Did you bring the drawn- work, too?
21960Did you ever see a picture of the Witch of Salem, Sarah?
21960Did you ever see any one so bowed down with penitence?
21960Did you ever see such a beautifully mussed- up crowd in all your life?
21960Did you get bad news, Alec?
21960Disappointed? 21960 Do I intrude upon a solemn hour?"
21960Do n''t you fear that thoughtless spending now may grow into future extravagance?
21960Do n''t you really know, Alec?
21960Do n''t you think I''d better go ahead with Knight? 21960 Do n''t you think you are encouraging Blue Bonnet in habits of extravagance?"
21960Do n''t you think you could manage to do it on the ranch? 21960 Do you mean I ought to have written it myself?
21960Do you mean hats? 21960 Do you mean they carried guns?"
21960Do you mean to swim across the ocean?
21960Do you mean to tell me that if I live on angel- cake I''ll grow to be angelic?
21960Do you mean to tell me that you are going to stay on the ranch a year or two?
21960Do you mind changing places with me, Blue Bonnet?
21960Do you propose to live on pinoche?
21960Do you really wonder, Sarah, about things like that?
21960Do you recall a prophecy you made this morning, Blue Bonnet?
21960Do you remember how the south pasture looks when the blue bonnets bloom in March,--how fresh and sweet, a sky turned upside down--? 21960 Do you suppose those boys are going to eat at this time of night?"
21960Do you suppose we''ve missed them on the way down?
21960Do you think I''d have eaten that poor little darling?
21960Do you think it will be proper for us to ride there the way we ride here?
21960Do you want to be a musician, Blue Bonnet?
21960Does he do''Curfew shall not--?''
21960Does n''t she look strange?
21960Does n''t this remind you of my first tea- party?
21960Dress?
21960Every afternoon?
21960For use or ornament?
21960Fumigated? 21960 Funny?
21960Getting mighty dignified since you turned sixteen, are n''t you?
21960Glad? 21960 Got something?"
21960Graceful, is n''t it?
21960Grandmother will be''Señora''--doesn''t it just suit her, girls?
21960Grandmother,she asked abruptly,"are you very hungry?"
21960Guess what we bagged to- day?
21960Guilty?
21960Had n''t I better go over to the tent with you?
21960Had n''t you better include several tons of angel- cake and fifty gallons or so of ice- cream?
21960Has Alec some place to sleep?
21960Has any one seen Solomon?
21960Has he said anything more about his trouble?
21960Have I?
21960Have a potato?
21960Have n''t you forgotten something, Blue Bonnet?
21960Have n''t you noticed Pete''s freckles?
21960Have you all decided what color you want your bathing- suits?
21960Have you asked your uncle if he is willing for you to keep two such pets?
21960Have you talked with your uncle about him?
21960Hello, everybody, are you dry yet?
21960How about the We are Sevens whom you''ve brought so far away from their homes? 21960 How about this?"
21960How can it be? 21960 How can we ride across the saddle in these skirts?"
21960How do you know?
21960How do you like a Texas Sunday?
21960How do you like mothering a family of this size?
21960How do you like the sport?
21960How does that one suit you, Señorita Blake?
21960How is little old Woodford getting along without us? 21960 How is the boy by this time?"
21960How''s your bed, Sarah?
21960Hullo, Knight!--is it really you? 21960 I SAY, Blue Bonnet, wait for a fellow, wo n''t you?"
21960I reckon Sarah Blake and Kitty Clark are n''t very used to travelling?
21960I reckon you''ll be having some howling celebration?
21960I reckon you''re doing some thinking along that line, Blue Bonnet?
21960I suppose Don Quixote will be off soon, hunting wind- mills?
21960I suppose you''ll object to my taking handkerchiefs, too?
21960I wonder if I''ll ever think in time?
21960I wonder what Mr. Wordsworth would say to that?
21960I wonder?
21960I''m going to put Solomon in your charge-- understand? 21960 I-- I''ll do my best if--""Will you walk down to the stable with me, Grandfather?"
21960If trying to swim has made us feel this way, why does n''t Sarah make her little moan?
21960If you go back you''ll write often, wo n''t you? 21960 Indians?"
21960Invite yourself? 21960 Invited out--?"
21960Is Grandmother awake-- can I go to her?
21960Is Grandmother worried?
21960Is Sandy the-- sandy one?
21960Is he hurt-- or ill?
21960Is he your uncle?
21960Is it far?
21960Is it good to eat?
21960Is it really you?
21960Is n''t Blue Bonnet a bit offish lately, Carita? 21960 Is n''t Sarah the dearest?"
21960Is n''t he a beauty?
21960Is n''t he''got up regardless,''girls?
21960Is n''t it heavenly?
21960Is n''t it odd your being here and seeing everything I used to talk about? 21960 Is n''t she a beauty?"
21960Is n''t twenty miles a rather long ride on a hot day?
21960Is that a joke, Sarah?
21960Is the mail all in?
21960Is this breakfast or lunch?
21960Is this what you call the''river?''
21960It is n''t your turn to cook, is it?
21960It looks like a ward in a hospital, does n''t it?
21960It was n''t you then?
21960It''s a good thing we said our real good- bye before I went to New York, is n''t it, Aunt Lucinda?
21960It''s exciting,--but is n''t it cruel, Blue Bonnet?
21960It''s queer how things seem to be-- cut on the bias, is n''t it? 21960 Lightly?"
21960Lonesome?
21960Lots?
21960Lupe, is n''t that a Spanish bit you''re using?
21960May I borrow my granddaughter for a few minutes?
21960Maybe you think one of us ought to change places with Carita?
21960Mrs. Clyde, may we call you''Señora,''too?
21960Mrs. Judson,she stammered,"will you please excuse me?
21960No boys?
21960No symptoms yet?
21960Not go back?
21960Not jealous, did you say?
21960Now are n''t you glad we brought the pinoche?
21960Now that suspicion has raised its snaky head, I''d like to know-- why is Sarah, long after the dishes are done, still wearing that apron?
21960Now, is n''t that the funniest thing?
21960Of course not,--they do, do n''t they?
21960Of the Blue Bonnet ranch?
21960Oh, Blue Bonnet, have n''t you done enough tramping to- day?
21960Oh, Blue Bonnet,said Sarah reproachfully,"how can you say that when we are having the most wonderful time that ever was?"
21960Oh, Uncle,--Blue Bonnet was struck with a sudden fear,--"do you suppose they will all be ready to go?
21960Oh, are we?
21960Oh, do you?
21960Oh, girls, I''ve the loveliest plan,--you do n''t mind, do you, Grandmother, if I get out my Spanish costume again?
21960Oh, you were worrying, were you?
21960Oh-- is it morning?
21960One?
21960Only a sprain?
21960Read this, will you please, Uncle? 21960 Reckon we''re most of us built that way, eh, Cliff?"
21960Ruth, were you fumigated before you left Woodford?
21960San Frances_cheeto_?
21960Sarah''s coming on, is n''t she?
21960Say,she began hesitatingly; she wished she knew his name--"say"was so plebeian;"--are you too badly hurt to get into the buckboard?"
21960Shall we try hot bread?
21960She''s the salt of the earth,he added,"and you--""And what am I?"
21960So that''s come up again, eh?
21960So that''s the trouble?
21960So that''s what all the row''s about?
21960Stolen? 21960 Stop the train, ca n''t you, Uncle Cliff?"
21960Suppose you tell me what sort?
21960Sure you do n''t mean ivy?
21960That''s a pretty step, Juanita,--will you teach it to me some day?
21960Then I need n''t regret my letter?
21960Then all''s serene on the Potomac?
21960Then it is near?
21960Then it''s all right?
21960Then what makes it hurt so like the mischief?
21960Then why is that worldly- minded Debby talking about dressing for dinner?
21960Then you do n''t mind if I leave you to yourselves?
21960Then you do n''t think this camping- trip an extravagance? 21960 Then, Señorita Blake, do we go by our lones?"
21960They have? 21960 To- morrow?"
21960Truly, Grandmother,--a comfort?
21960Uncle Cliff, do you find it terribly hard to be good?
21960Was I rude-- to you?
21960Was n''t it downright grand of him to plan it?
21960Was n''t it thoughtful of them?
21960Was she ever? 21960 We''d better go to Jonah at once, do n''t you think-- for the doctor?"
21960We''ll go to Jonah to- morrow--adding before the words were fairly said,"--may we, Grandmother?"
21960We?
21960Well, Blue Bonnet, what are you thinking?
21960Well, Honey?
21960Well, Uncle?
21960Well, it''s better to know the truth and face it, is n''t it?
21960Were n''t you afraid of them?
21960Were you being talked to death, Honey?
21960Were you prepared to see the wild Indian I proved to be?
21960Were you really in danger?
21960What about,--Sandy?
21960What are you doing with that old stick, Blue Bonnet?
21960What are you eating so early for?
21960What are you going to do on the ranch all winter?
21960What are you going to do with it?
21960What are you going to give Blue Bonnet?
21960What are you going to wear-- your pink panne velvet or your yellow chiffon?
21960What are you two plotting?
21960What became of the magpie?
21960What do you think of Sarah, anyway?
21960What do you think of that for selfishness,--not to let a soul know she had an iron?
21960What do you think of your new cowboy?
21960What has that to do with it?
21960What has the Witch of Salem--"Was n''t she riding a broom?
21960What is it-- lions?
21960What is it-- what''s all the noise about?
21960What makes you think so?
21960What makes you think so?
21960What ones?
21960What part did n''t you like?
21960What says the noble Señora?
21960What shall I do? 21960 What shall we do first, Grandmother?"
21960What shall we do?
21960What shall we do?
21960What shall we have?
21960What shall we wear?
21960What was the matter?
21960What would I do?
21960What''s going to happen first?
21960What''s the joke, Honey?
21960What''s the matter with her, Benita? 21960 What''s the matter, anyway?
21960What''s the matter? 21960 What''s the matter?"
21960What''s the trouble?
21960What''s up, Blue Bonnet?
21960What-- what day is it?
21960When did you come?
21960When does the Fall term of school begin?
21960Where are the boys?
21960Where are we all to sleep?
21960Where are we going to put them all?
21960Where did that come from?
21960Where did you get them?
21960Where have I heard that name before?
21960Where is Carita?
21960Where is Sarah, anyway?
21960Where is it?
21960Where''s Alec?
21960Where''s Blue Bonnet?
21960Where''s Grandmother?
21960Where''s Kitty?
21960Where''s the Spring?
21960Where''s the broom, do you know?
21960Where''s the wash- basin, Blue Bonnet? 21960 Where?"
21960Where?
21960Which corner-- northeast or southwest?
21960Who did it?
21960Who knows?
21960Who made this race- track?
21960Who was the artist?
21960Who would ever have thought that a Colonial Dame would look so natural eating beans with a tin spoon? 21960 Who would have thought to see our Sarah grown rakish?"
21960Why could n''t you say so in the first place? 21960 Why did n''t Mr. Terry come to dinner?"
21960Why do n''t we all go?
21960Why do n''t you all come up and camp-- it is n''t a hard trip?
21960Why do n''t you work for a living?
21960Why do they call him''Pinto?''
21960Why not make your own suits? 21960 Why not''Camp We are Seven?''"
21960Why tobacco smoke?
21960Why, Blue Bonnet, do you mean that you''re not sure about going?
21960Why, Blue Bonnet-- where are the horses?
21960Why, do n''t you think he looks clever?
21960Why, what do you mean? 21960 Why, what do you mean?"
21960Why, you ca n''t be afraid, Sarah?
21960Why-- is it your turn to get dinner?
21960Why-- where are they?
21960Why?
21960Why?
21960Will it be as hard as knitting a shawl?
21960Will it bite?
21960Will it do?
21960Will you write a''robin,''too?
21960Will you? 21960 Wo n''t it be a great deal of work?"
21960Wo n''t she be just-- petrified, when she sees seven girls instead of one? 21960 Wo n''t you join us?"
21960Wo n''t you please hurry?
21960Would n''t Chula''s nose be out of joint if she could see you petting Firefly?
21960Would n''t it be very lonesome off there in Boston? 21960 Would you like one for your hat?"
21960Yes,--and do you remember how we wondered what we would talk about on our next jaunt by the Woodford brook?
21960You did n''t know I had a surprise up my sleeve, did you?
21960You do n''t want one of the wings then?
21960You hear the motion, are all in favor?
21960You never forget what''s expected of you, do you?
21960You see those steers inside the gate? 21960 You thought we''d been thrown?"
21960You''ll look after them, wo n''t you, Alec?
21960You''ll write me soon, Blue Bonnet, wo n''t you, and tell me what you decide to do?
21960You''re not going alone, are you?
21960You''ve just called them''Texas babies,''why not call one''Texas?''
21960You?
21960Your parties have been a sort of continuous performance this summer, have n''t they?
21960Again Blue Bonnet had a sudden sinking of the heart-- could Alec mean--?
21960And Alec?"
21960And Blue Bonnet with an incredulous stare returned:"Are you quite willing to give_ this_ up?"
21960And do you have to gargle peroxide of hydrogen?
21960And he''s so alive, so--""Up and coming?"
21960And what others?"
21960And wo n''t it be mostly work and very little play?"
21960Are n''t you proud to belong to this state?"
21960Are you honestly as red as lobsters?
21960As Lisa turned to leave the room, Blue Bonnet detained her to whisper--"Why is Benita waiting on table alone?--where''s Juanita?"
21960Been keeping a tryst?"
21960Blue Bonnet leaned out and shrieked--"Uncle, Uncle-- what''s the matter-- oh, what is it?"
21960Blue Bonnet turned a rueful face to Knight--"Do you hear that?
21960Blue Bonnet was thoughtful for a moment, then burst out--"Carita, what would you do, if you were in my place,--about going back East again?"
21960But Sarah saw none of the by- play and asked at once:"What''s a''twister?''"
21960But are you?"
21960But oh, Alec-- what if--?"
21960CHAPTER IV THE ROUND ROBIN"WHAT''S the program for this morning?"
21960CHAPTER VI AN ADVENTURE"HAVE you decided, Grandmother,"asked Blue Bonnet,"whether or not we can go to Jonah this morning?"
21960CHAPTER XIV A FALLING IN"HOW''S the Sleeping Beauty this morning?"
21960CHAPTER XVI THE LOST SHEEP"OH, Carita, do you really have to go to- day?"
21960Ca n''t I be vaccinated or something to ward it off?"
21960Ca n''t you all come up and stay over next Sunday?"
21960Could it be only a year since her last birthday?
21960Debby, what shall yours be?"
21960Did ever days fly so before?
21960Did n''t I ride a side- saddle as proper as pie in Woodford?
21960Do n''t you remember?"
21960Do n''t you?"
21960Do you feel equal to the climb?"
21960Do you know her?"
21960Do you swim?"
21960Do you think it''s scarlet fever?"
21960Does n''t it seem ridiculous, now I''m over that silliness?
21960Does n''t she look funny?"
21960Every day when you asked me''what next?''
21960Feel equal to it this morning?"
21960Four terrified faces were raised simultaneously from four white beds, and four voices in chorus whispered:"What is it?"
21960Grandmother, did you help Sarah?"
21960Grandmother, may we?"
21960Had Alec heard?
21960Hardly likely, was it, that I was going to demand it boldly as a right?"
21960Have they come to the party?
21960He straightway makes a private car arise from-- from what, Uncle Cliff?"
21960How am I going to get over this hospitable fence of yours?"
21960How can I ever thank you and Aunt Lucinda?
21960How could Alec say that when he had let her-- even urged her-- to write that letter to his grandfather?
21960How could any one, and that a grown man and a poet, have so exactly voiced the thoughts of a young girl on a far- off Texas ranch?"
21960How did you ever do it?"
21960How did you happen to bring the girls?"
21960How many boys did you say there were, Knight?"
21960How many members have you got?''
21960How would he take his grandfather''s arrival?
21960How would you like kisses instead?"
21960I could n''t very well invite myself, could I?"
21960I had a long talk with Knight''s friend''Doc''Abbott, and he gave me a thorough going over, as he called it--""And what did he say?"
21960I reckon you''re glad to get_ home_, Blue Bonnet?"
21960I shall miss you, Blue Bonnet,--you wo n''t forget to write often?"
21960I wonder, Blue Bonnet, if Mrs. Clyde would mind letting us take coffee?"
21960I''ll go and practise, and you-- what will you do?"
21960Is it very bad?
21960Is n''t it queer how many of my wishes have come true?
21960Is n''t she?"
21960Is n''t that the darlingest stove?"
21960Is n''t that the limit?"
21960It was only a day- dream then,--isn''t it funny how things have come out?"
21960Jump on Firefly, will you, and ride with me to meet it?"
21960Know anybody that can set it?"
21960Less than a year since she had first seen Grandmother?
21960Now what shall we call these cherubs?"
21960Now why, if West Point was disposed of, could he not take the next best-- or in her opinion the very best-- thing that offered?
21960Oh, Alec, are you sure?"
21960Other people seem to have a lot to say about one''s life, do n''t they?"
21960Poor dog, I wonder how you''ll like the''resumption of discipline''--as Alec calls it?
21960Shall I cut you one to assist your feeble steps?"
21960So absorbed was she that she did not hear a foot- fall, nor did she look up until Uncle Cliff exclaimed,"All alone, Honey?
21960Something in the expression of Blue Bonnet''s eyes as she bent for the good- night kiss made Mrs. Clyde say hastily--"What is it, dear?"
21960Surely she did n''t miss the service?"
21960Suspecting the trend of little Miss Why''s thoughts, Blue Bonnet went on hurriedly:"How shall we go-- in the buckboard or on horse- back?"
21960Sympathize?
21960Take everybody indoors, will you, Grandmother?
21960Tell the fellows the story of the Alamo, will you?
21960That would end it,--and what could be simpler?"
21960The eyes are your eyes-- can''t you see, dear?"
21960The name of the station where you get off is Jonah-- isn''t that odd?
21960Then Alec asked--"Do you remember the morning we first spoke of following this stream?"
21960Then she sang tauntingly:"Mother, may I go out to swim?
21960They had one tiff-- the second since they''ve known each other,--and ever since we''ve lived in dread of the third, have n''t we, Sarah?"
21960They went too fast for conversation, but once Blue Bonnet paused long enough to say over her shoulder--"You''ll come to lunch, wo n''t you?"
21960Uncle Cliff sent all three so that we could use them as easy chairs,--especially for Grandmo-- why, where is she?"
21960Was every year to bring as many new experiences, as many new faces into her life?
21960Was n''t I a goose not to think of it?
21960Was n''t that the rattle of wheels?
21960Well?
21960What could it be?
21960What do you suppose we will talk about on our first jaunt by the brook next spring?"
21960What does the Duchess say?"
21960What else shall we take?"
21960What makes you think so?"
21960When?"
21960Where are you staying?"
21960Where did they come from?"
21960Where did you find him?"
21960Where did you get it?
21960Where did you tie them?"
21960Where shall we build the festive pyre?"
21960Where''s Alec''s horse, Uncle Joe?"
21960Who made the muffins?"
21960Who''d steal them, I''d like to know?
21960Why did n''t some one help him out, the doctor fumed inwardly, instead of letting him be the one to cloud that beaming face?
21960Why did n''t you say so?"
21960Why on earth did everybody keep harping on Blue Bonnet''s growing up?
21960Why, among all your humble subjects, am I not favored with a dance or promenade?
21960Will you give me one?
21960Will you wait and let me sleep on it, Grandmother?
21960Wo n''t we just have to cram the days full?"
21960Wo n''t you tell me, Uncle?"
21960Would n''t that be thrilling?
21960You boys and we girls will have the pool on alternate days,--won''t it be fun?"
21960You do n''t mind our riding a little way with the Judsons do you?
21960You have everything you want, do n''t you?"
21960You never knew her to stay awake nights worrying over something for herself, now did you?"
21960You-- you are sure you''ve no-- a-- advice to give me?"
21960asked Debby,"--just while we''re on the ranch?"
21960asked Kitty; adding promptly,"What''s the scheme?"
21960exclaimed Kitty,"--did you hear what they called you?"
21960he echoed;"where''s that?"
41172''Am I not thy mother?'' 41172 ''But, at any rate, you believe that he approves the step you are now taking?''
41172''Has my father sent you to me?'' 41172 ''I consent,''I said,''but I presume you do not intend to do me a gratuitous service, whatever its nature may be?''
41172''Return to the hacienda?'' 41172 ''Why do you not answer me, my child?''
41172''Why so?'' 41172 ''Yes, I am he,''I answered,''but what is your name?
41172A friend of mine?
41172A long time ago, I presume?
41172Ah, ah,said Fray Antonio with a laugh:"what do you think of that, No Ruperto?
41172Ah, ah,the old man said,"then you wish your friends to surprise us?"
41172Alarmed?
41172Alas, mother,he said, in a hollow voice,"can I ever forget that I have been a gambler, assassin, and incendiary?"
41172All of which means?
41172All the better; and who are your comrades?
41172Am I not a woman?
41172Am I not?
41172And did you accept?
41172And do you fancy we shall be satisfied with it?
41172And do you suspect nobody?
41172And have they accepted it?
41172And it was?
41172And my brother has discovered the trail, which I merely indicated to him?
41172And suppose I have?
41172And that man is?
41172And what is it?
41172And what would you do in my place?
41172And who gave the order?
41172And you have been whipped?
41172And your strength?
41172Answer,the sorcerer continued imperiously;"have you abandoned your brothers?"
41172Any news?
41172Are the Gazelle and the American girl in the grotto?
41172Are you desirous of knowing?
41172Are you not my father''s enemy?
41172Are you quite sure of it?
41172Are you still afraid?
41172At once, if you will be good enough to tell me who you are and where we are going?
41172Bad news?
41172Before all these persons?
41172Before all, General,the Colonel remarked,"do you know our position?"
41172Better still; then Sonora and Texas, for instance, are free States, and able to separate from the Confederation, if they think proper?
41172Blue- fox is a traitor who has sold his people,the Indian continued with some animation;"what can be hoped from such a man?
41172Blue- fox?
41172But are you not afraid,Loyal Heart observed,"lest Blue- fox has warned his comrades that their tricks are discovered?"
41172But are you not coming in, Jaguar? 41172 But he is leading a second; do you intend to accompany me beyond the advanced posts?"
41172But his name, my dear General?
41172But how did you arrive here so opportunely?
41172But in what way?
41172But our horses?
41172But the reason, the reason?
41172But what is the matter?
41172But what is to be done to obtain the result we desire as much as you do?
41172But who saved them, then? 41172 But why did not you come straight to our encampment, if you were seeking us, as you say?"
41172But, in that case, we shall be compelled to treat with these scoundrels?
41172But, supposing it were so?
41172By what right do you give me that order?
41172By whom, then?
41172Can it be true?
41172Can my brother do so?
41172Canarios, and how do you suppose it concerns me?
41172Capital reasoning; and what do you propose doing now?
41172Captain Saldana,the General asked,"is all ready?"
41172Caramba,said the General,"is it so late as that already?
41172Certainly; still----"Still,the stranger interrupted,"you would have had no objection to prowl a little longer round the rancho, I presume?"
41172Did you come solely to tell me that?
41172Did you not read his signature?
41172Did you not tell me that you were deputed to me by the rebel army, in order to submit certain propositions?
41172Do not be frightened, I am not fond of chattering; how much do you offer me for my cuadrilla?
41172Do not pity her, but rejoice, on the contrary, that she fell into my hands; who knows what might have happened with anyone else?
41172Do so,the Jaguar answered;"who are they?"
41172Do you feel a friendship for him?
41172Do you feel better?
41172Do you hope to get us out of this scrape?
41172Do you imagine I would have done it?
41172Do you intend to lead us to your camp tonight?
41172Do you intend, my dear Colonel,the American asked,"to honour me with your charming society any longer?"
41172Do you know him?
41172Do you not find the spot where we are admirably adapted for what we have to do?
41172Do you not think the departure of so large a party may arouse the suspicions of Blue- fox, who is doubtless prowling about the neighbourhood?
41172Do you really wish for my advice, General?
41172Do you regard me as an envoy, or merely as your prisoner?
41172Do you require our help?
41172Do you take your rifle?
41172Do you think it necessary?
41172Do you think so?
41172Do you wish him to come in?
41172Does Black- deer mean, then, to carry off my daughter?
41172Does my brother take us for children, that he says such things to us?
41172Does my son consent to remain as a hostage in the place of his father?
41172Does this honour go so far as to compel so great a warrior as my brother to watch over my sleep?
41172First- rate; but suppose we miss? 41172 For what good object, sir?"
41172For what good, as my brother was coming?
41172For what object?
41172For what reason?
41172For what reason?
41172From me?
41172General,said an aide- de- camp, as he opened the door,"Colonel Melendez asks whether you will deign to receive him, in spite of the late hour?"
41172Good, the Wacondah has received them into the happy hunting grounds; have their squaws bewailed them?
41172Good,John Davis interrupted;"but what motive urged you to take the present step?"
41172Good,said the sorcerer;"how many warriors have fallen?"
41172Hang it, did you have such a bad opinion of me? 41172 Has the battle really taken place?"
41172Has your Excellency carefully reflected on the order you have done me the honour to give me?
41172Have all the detachments returned?
41172Have we arrived?
41172Have you not a certain affair to settle with the White Scalper, or have you forgotten it?
41172Have you summoned him?
41172He has this instant arrived, General; can he come in?
41172He is a pretty scamp, I think?
41172His name? 41172 How could I know anything?
41172How could I perform this journey in my present state of weakness and prostration?
41172How did they die?
41172How do you know that?
41172How does that concern you, Colonel; am I not free?
41172How is it that as you hate this man so deeply, you have not killed him yourself, as there could have been no lack of opportunity?
41172How long will the Chief remain absent?
41172How much do you want for that?
41172How on earth did you manage to unsaddle him so cleverly?
41172How so, Chief?
41172How so?
41172How, nothing?
41172I am going to the council of the Chiefs, will you accompany me?
41172I angry with you?
41172I hope you have men enough?
41172I know it,he said,"And my son accepts?"
41172I speak the truth, and my brother is well aware of it,Black- deer answered;"why should we thus try to deceive each other?
41172I-- I?
41172I? 41172 I?"
41172In that case,said the sorcerer,"my son is satisfied?"
41172In what way shall I bring you the person''s answer?
41172In what way? 41172 Is Colonel Melendez here?"
41172Is he a brave?
41172Is he here?
41172Is his medicine good?
41172Is it not? 41172 Is it you, then?"
41172Is my brother ready?
41172Is my brother willing to speak before my friends the pale hunters?
41172Is my father satisfied?
41172Is that all you desire to know?
41172Is that all?
41172Is the Fort of the Point still in the hands of our friends?
41172Is the misfortune irreparable, then?
41172It is impossible,Loyal Heart said;"did he not surrender himself as a hostage?
41172Many of our Chiefs, I presume, have fallen, or are in the hands of the enemy?
41172Master Davis,the Colonel said, raising his voice,"have you forgotten the last conversation we had together?"
41172More than you fancy; do you not wish me to tell you the name of the man who protected and eventually saved Doña Carmela?
41172My brother has heard,Black- deer continued;"has he any remark to make?"
41172My brother has seen the Apaches?
41172My brother is still very young, his life only counts spring seasons, does he not regret losing it?
41172My brother, Running- elk, is a renowned Chief and great brave,he said to him in a gentle voice;"what is he thinking of at this moment?"
41172My friend,Carmela said to the hunter,"you, whom I no longer dare to call my father, what do you order me to do in the presence of this corpse?"
41172My son knows that if his father does not come to liberate his pledge, he will die in his place?
41172Nearly so, for of course you have received no news of----?
41172News of whom?
41172Next?
41172No determination was formed, no answer given the Envoy?
41172No,he said;"I merely feel a repugnance to mingle again with white men, and-- shall I confess it?
41172Nonsense, sir,the General continued, with a shrug of his shoulders,"why, you must be mad?
41172Nonsense,Loyal Heart replied,"it will be welcome, for are we not accustomed to danger?"
41172Of Carmela?
41172Of Carmela?
41172Of course; do you think I would have received him else? 41172 Oh, oh, what does that mean?"
41172Oh, what I have to say to you will not take long; I only wish to ask you to lay a final hand to a work for which you have already striven?
41172Oh, you recognise it now?
41172Oh, you will surely grant me a few moments, Master Davis?
41172Oh,the Canadian suddenly said,"whom have we here?
41172On what conditions do you offer me all these advantages?
41172One moment,Blackbird objected;"of what does this ransom consist?"
41172One moment,the old merchant said, quite appalled by the approach of death;"are there no means of settling this business, General?"
41172Shall we be off?
41172Shall we go?
41172Shall we not take our comrades with us?
41172She is but a coquettish child,he murmured in a low voice;"has she a heart?"
41172So that----?
41172So that--?
41172Stay,the young man continued;"do we understand each other?
41172Still, General,he urged,"I should have desired--""What?"
41172Still----?
41172Thanks; but what are you doing there?
41172That is just the point that staggers me; how could an Apache venture to the village alone?
41172That is strange,Loyal Heart muttered;"and you do not know who the Indian is?"
41172That is strange,the Colonel muttered, searching his memory;"and did he mention his name?"
41172The Sachem of the Buffalo Apaches is a great brave; what warrior of his nation can die in his stead, if he forget to liberate his pledge?
41172The White Scalper?
41172The reason is very simple; would you like to know it?
41172Then they answered him in the negative?
41172Then why do you get up?
41172Then you do not owe either the Colonel or myself any grudge?
41172Then you have been defeated?
41172Then you have made up your mind to plunge the country into anarchy?
41172Then you propose flight to me?
41172Then you propose to me to carry her off?
41172Then, he is here?
41172Then, they are both here?
41172Then, was it not you who saved them?
41172Then, why ask?
41172Then, why has my son entered without the orders of the Sachems?
41172Then, with your consent, we will dismount?
41172Then, you think that if you wished to leave this house and follow me to the camp, this man would not attempt to prevent you?
41172Then, you would shoot me?
41172There is something up we do not know; and then the signals we heard?
41172This moment,--you understand, this moment, Señor, you will confess to me, where the man is who gave you this letter, if not--"Well?
41172This time, yes, it is all,the young man answered;"now what do you think of this epistle?"
41172To death?
41172To parley with me?
41172To whom do you say that, Don Lionel? 41172 Very good, what have they resolved?"
41172Was it not? 41172 We have to perform the commission Black- deer entrusted to us; are you still of a mind to help me?"
41172Well, I greeted him as a brother and gave him the best I had; do you know what he did?
41172Well, Tranquil,he said to him,"how do you find yourself?"
41172Well, and now?
41172Well, and what then?
41172Well, what matter?
41172Well, why did you not do it?
41172Well,Loyal Heart asked,"are you ready?"
41172Well,he said to him,"and what are you going to do?"
41172Well,the American muttered,"what did you, so soon as the men left you alone?"
41172Well; is it a kingdom or an empire?
41172Well?
41172Well?
41172Well?
41172What about?
41172What are they?
41172What are we to do now, Chief?
41172What are you doing?
41172What can I care, do you ask?
41172What can I do? 41172 What can we do?
41172What do I care?
41172What do I want?
41172What do you mean by, well?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you mean?
41172What do you say? 41172 What do you want here?"
41172What do you want with me?
41172What do you want with me?
41172What do you want, Ruperto?
41172What do you want?
41172What do you want?
41172What does it concern me? 41172 What does it matter to you?"
41172What does my brother mean?
41172What does my brother propose?
41172What does this mean?
41172What for? 41172 What for?"
41172What good is it at this moment? 41172 What has happened, then, during that period?"
41172What has he done?
41172What have you to tell me more terrible than what you have just said?
41172What is Blue- fox doing here?
41172What is happening, pray?
41172What is he driving at?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is it?
41172What is the matter now?
41172What is the matter then?
41172What is the matter, Chief?
41172What is the matter? 41172 What is the matter?"
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the matter?
41172What is the meaning of this, General?
41172What is the ransom? 41172 What is the use of threatening me, General?
41172What is this, Caballeros?
41172What is to be done, then?
41172What is to be done?
41172What is to be done?
41172What is up, then?
41172What matter, if you answer for him?
41172What matter?
41172What need for me to tell you what has occurred? 41172 What other motive could I have, Master Sandoval?
41172What prevents your doing so? 41172 What prisoner?"
41172What to do? 41172 What was it?"
41172What was its nature?
41172What were you doing concealed in the grass?
41172What would you have?
41172What would you, Colonel? 41172 What!--mean it?
41172What, Black- deer?
41172What, arrived?
41172What, do you not recognise the Jaguar?
41172What? 41172 What?"
41172What?
41172What?
41172When shall we return?
41172Whence comes the anxiety I see on your features? 41172 Where are my brothers going?"
41172Where has he halted?
41172Where is Tranquil?
41172Where shall we place ourselves?
41172Where should I be if I was not?
41172Whether General Rubio is really satisfied with the plan I submitted to him?
41172Which means that you are convinced?
41172Which means?
41172Which means?
41172Which means?
41172While now----?
41172Who are the Pale men who thus enter as friends the atepetl of the Antelope Comanches?
41172Who are you, and what do you want?
41172Who can answer for the future?
41172Who cares for me?
41172Who is that man?
41172Who is the man who gave you this letter?
41172Who is the warrior?
41172Who knows--_¿quién sabe?_ as we Spanish Americans say,the young man replied with a smile.
41172Who knows? 41172 Who knows?"
41172Who knows?
41172Who the deuce could have told you that nonsense?
41172Who the deuce have you brought us?
41172Who''s there?
41172Who''s there?
41172Why ask that question at this moment?
41172Why did you make me a prisoner, then?
41172Why did you not show yourselves sooner?
41172Why do you not go, as I advised you to do?
41172Why has not the Black- deer accompanied our brother the great Brave of the tribe?
41172Why not? 41172 Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why not?
41172Why play with the butt of your pistol so? 41172 Why put yourself to trouble for me?"
41172Why shall I not?
41172Why should I regret it? 41172 Why should I tell you what has passed?
41172Why should the head ever do injustice to the heart?
41172Why so? 41172 Why so?"
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why so?
41172Why this question, whose purport I do not understand?
41172Why, it is impossible, my friend; how could we have received any? 41172 Why, supposing that it is a trap, what will be the result of it?"
41172Why, what prevents you?
41172Why,the Colonel continued,"refuse to listen to the propositions this man is authorized to offer you?"
41172Will my father bear witness to that?
41172Will you defend yourself; yes or no?
41172Will you let me ask you a question?
41172Will you not take the hand I offer you?
41172Will you refuse?
41172Will you see the Colonel?
41172Would it not be better to mount, gallop into the plain that stretches out before us, and settle the affair at once?
41172Yes, am I not? 41172 Yes, but why are you so?
41172You admit,the other said, with his old stoicism,"that I am seeking no unworthy subterfuge to avoid a meeting with you?"
41172You are in earnest, then?
41172You are mad,said Davis, with a shrug of his shoulders;"what strange idea is this of yours to insist on killing me?"
41172You are right, my friend; may Heaven grant that it is so; but how did it all happen?
41172You are the aide- de- camp of the President General of the Republic?
41172You do not believe me? 41172 You have a proof of it before you; if he were not so, should I be here?"
41172You will come with me, I suppose, Tranquil?
41172You wish to know?
41172You, my friend?
41172Your countrymen?
41172Your price is reasonable; but how can we communicate?
41172[ 1]Who knows?"
41172_ ¿ Qué gente?_"Texas.
41172About what, pray?
41172Am I mistaken?
41172Am I not under the safeguard of your honour?"
41172And does my brother intend to carry off the woman he loves this night?"
41172And does the maiden recognise the sound of my brother''s war whistle, and run joyfully to the meeting the Chief grants her?
41172And now, what is your second reason?"
41172And what about, pray?"
41172And what, in your opinion, ought I to do?"
41172And who is the Chief that marches at their head?"
41172And who is the brave that has made them prisoners?
41172And would it be indiscreet to ask its nature?"
41172And,"turning to his auditors, who had remained silent and motionless since their entrance, he asked them,"and you, Señores, what do you think of it?"
41172Any resistance was impossible-- for what could he have done alone, merely armed with a sabre, against twenty individuals?
41172Are my brothers listening?"
41172Are there more of you inside?"
41172Are they desirous of exchanging their lances and guns for weavers''shuttles?
41172Are they tired of being redoubtable warriors?
41172Are we going to make any expedition?"
41172Are you disposed to answer our questions?"
41172Are you not returning to Galveston?"
41172Are you not, in a word, Loyal Heart, that is to say, the man whose decisions have the strength of law, whom all, friends and enemies, love and esteem?
41172Assuredly, he feared no personal danger; what did he care for an attack?
41172At length, by a movement that was familiar to him, he threw back his curls, and addressed Ruperto--"Halloh, gossip,"he said,"you here?
41172Bounding Fawn will prepare the venison for the Chief; what does my brother think of it?"
41172But do you fear any trap?
41172But has the Chief assured himself as to Bounding Fawn''s feelings?"
41172But how does it concern us?
41172But let us return to our business: what do you want with me?"
41172But now good bye, Señores, when will you give me a definite answer?"
41172But tell me, old hunter, have you consulted with our friend on the matter that brings me here?"
41172But what is to be done?
41172But what matter?
41172But with whom had the advantage remained?
41172By Carmela?"
41172Carmela exclaimed;"you turn pale and totter: are you wounded?"
41172Could I marry all the squaws whom my tomahawk has rendered widows, or give you back the numerous scalps I have raised?
41172Davis said, as he uncocked his pistol,"why, what is the meaning of this?"
41172Did he not pledge his word?
41172Did the Jaguar know that he had killed his father, or was it his despair at seeing his love despised by Carmela, that determined him to seek death?
41172Do I know who you are?
41172Do I recognize the right of the persons from whom you come to send me a flag of truce?
41172Do all these acts of imprudence committed purposely teach you nothing?"
41172Do they wish to put on women''s petticoats?
41172Do you dare to place your love for a woman and your devotion to the country on the same level?
41172Do you know what he did, so soon as he obtained power?"
41172Do you really intend to depart?"
41172Do you see that boat tossing about at the foot of the cliff?"
41172Do you still consider you are not my equal?"
41172Do you think, then,"he added, with some bitterness,"that because we are outlawed bandits we have stifled every generous feeling in our hearts?
41172Does he prefer fastening them to the stake of torture?"
41172Does that suit you?"
41172Does what I have said please my brother?"
41172Each of you will give me a thousand piastres; it is not too much, I suppose, to guarantee the security of your money and goods?
41172Has he paid a fine ransom?"
41172Has my brother warned the Chiefs?"
41172Have I spoken well?
41172Have you any alfalfa for our horses in your cabin?"
41172Heavens, since I am condemned to be your slave, could you not at any rate allow me the free enjoyment of this room?"
41172Hence your losses are limited to men and arms?"
41172How could I feel angry with you?
41172I could have sworn it,"the young man said impetuously;"why can not I thank him?"
41172I exclaimed, with joyous surprise,''Do you consent to remain with me?''
41172I fancy your dead man is coming to life again, eh?"
41172I gave way to a feeling of immense joy; when our transports were somewhat calmed, my mother said to me--"''And now, what do you intend doing?
41172I have spoken; have I said right, powerful Chiefs?"
41172I presume you have had a serious conversation with him?"
41172If not, what would be the use of fighting?"
41172In what age are we living, then, that rebels dare to treat on equal terms with the government against which they have revolted?
41172In what direction have they fled?
41172Is it all you wish to know?"
41172Is there not something grand and noble in their haughty and indomitable character?
41172It seems that he is fixed?"
41172John Davis continued, with feigned disappointment,"shall we part already?"
41172John Davis exclaimed, in surprise:"How could we have received any news?
41172Just look at our camp-- do people guard themselves in this way on the desert?
41172Loyal Heart and Black- deer, however, had lost none of their calmness; they hoped then, still, but what was it they expected?
41172May I hope that you have spoken to him of me in sufficient favourable terms for him to grant me a kind reception?"
41172May I venture to hope you will pardon me?"
41172Must not your heart fly straight to your father?"
41172My brother will see,"and turning to the Sachems, who stood motionless and silent a few paces off, the Chief added;"when will this warrior die?"
41172My friend, when you have crawled far enough like a snake, I suppose you will get up?"
41172My warriors are at their post, only awaiting the signal to begin the contest; do my Pale brothers still intend to accompany us?"
41172Now that we have met, I hope you will come to our camp?"
41172Now, what does the Chief wish to ask of me?
41172Of what was the poor girl thinking, while the tears she did not dream of wiping away, coursed down her pallid cheeks, where they traced a furrow?
41172On what subject?"
41172Only that?"
41172Sandoval shouted, striking the table with his fist;"Shall we let him escape?
41172Shall I ever find again a friend so certain and so devoted?"
41172Stay, one word more; one of us must remain on the ground, I suppose?"
41172The American stifled an oath, and mounted again, but suddenly reflecting, he asked,"And who may you be, who thus pretend to dictate to me?"
41172The Jaguar felt an enormous inclination to leap on the sentry and throttle him; but supposing it were a friend?
41172The Sachem nodded in affirmation,"Does my brother Loyal Heart wish to learn what happened at the Council after his departure?"
41172The question seems to me somewhat simple; I suppose you think the hour and place well chosen for a joke?"
41172The young man heard him, and turning to him, said--?
41172Then we are going to see some sport?"
41172Then you are not a flag of truce?"
41172Then you are very desirous that I should not come to life again?"
41172Then, you have come on your own accord, nothing compelling you to do so?"
41172This is the only chance left us to finish with this implacable enemy-- do you accept it?"
41172This time she shall not escape me;''is that clear, eh?"
41172Tonight, for instance, were the Chief to call her, would she rise from her bed to obey his summons?"
41172Was the Chief really asleep?
41172We shall return to the hacienda, shall we not?
41172Well, now,"he added, with an accent of sad and bitter raillery,"do you still fancy yourself unworthy of my friendship?
41172What I ask you is, whether, since Carmela went to, Galveston, you have received any news of her?"
41172What alarm did he feel about dying?
41172What are we to do now?"
41172What can you care for any opinion I may have, which is isolated and unimportant?"
41172What does he want?"
41172What does the President mean by sending us this gold plumaged springald, to make us lose all the profits of the victory?"
41172What had become of him?
41172What had occurred during this lengthened interview?
41172What has become of my brothers?
41172What has brought you into our parts?"
41172What have you to answer to that?"
41172What is Mexico?"
41172What is the magic influence exerted on humanity by this extraordinary man?
41172What is to be done?"
41172What means have we to prevent it?
41172What more do you want?"
41172What motive brings Loyal Heart to Blackbird with so large a party, when the heart of the Chief is sad, and a cloud has spread over his mind?"
41172What name did you pronounce?"
41172What new misfortune have you to announce?"
41172What next?"
41172What terrible drama could have been performed at this spot?
41172What the deuce should I do here during your absence?
41172What will the Chief do to insure his word, and that the Comanche Sachems may put faith in what he says?"
41172Whatever may happen, I trust in you as in God; will you fail me?
41172When do we start?"
41172Where is it?"
41172Where is the President at this moment?"
41172Where shall I find Carmela and Tranquil again?"
41172Where were Tranquil and Lanzi, the Jaguar and Colonel Melendez?
41172Who are you?''
41172Who can say whether the Deity, in permitting this great expiation, may not have secret designs with me?
41172Who is the man I saw at the rancho, and to whom the persons with him gave the name of Don Benito?"
41172Who were the persons at this moment in the house-- were they friends or foes?
41172Why did he carry off my child?"
41172Why did he not remain in Mexico?
41172Why has he not taken their scalps?
41172Why keep secret from them a thing I should be forced to tell them, perhaps tomorrow?"
41172Why should they ally themselves with the Apache thieves?
41172Why should they league with their most obstinate enemies against men who are fighting to obtain their liberty?
41172Why this pallor, my friend, this restlessness I see in your eyes?"
41172Will you accompany us, Tranquil?
41172Will you go there?
41172Will you not sit down?"
41172Will you promise me this?"
41172Will you promise to answer me this question?"
41172With the Mexicans or the Texans?
41172Would you be capable of firing in your own defence, without leaving the cart?"
41172Would you like to know the contents?"
41172You allow this, I suppose?"
41172You are not angry with me, I trust?"
41172You heard, Captain?"
41172You will go?"
41172and why not, if you please?"
41172he continued,"If the sun never dies, how can the great pale Chief be dead, who is the son of that planet?"
41172he exclaimed with the utmost surprise,"Did not this man carry you off?"
41172he had said,"I have but a few moments to live; who will protect you when I am gone?"
41172he replied, sadly,"Why should I be so, by what right?
41172he said,"Then it is you, my master?"
41172he said,"Then you know it?"
41172he said;"How comes it that you are all here waiting for me?
41172he shouted,"Are you there, Orson?"
41172said Black- deer with a degree of surprise he could not entirely conceal;"How then did they enter the village?"
41172said Fray Antonio,"Then you really mean it?"
41172she exclaimed, bounding up like a lioness;"What did you say, Señor?
41172she muttered, and then, striving to recover herself, she asked,"What do you want with me, señor?
41172she said to him, with that little pouting air which she could assume if necessary, and which suited her so well;"What has become of you, deserter?
41172the American exclaimed as he gave a start of terror,"Are you dead?"
41172the American muttered;"Is that all?"
41172the Captain said, laughingly,"Did you not tell me, when I met you this evening, that you were sent to me by Fray Antonio?"
41172the Colonel exclaimed, in surprise,"Does your Excellency intend to confer with him in the presence of witnesses?"
41172the General answered, sharply;"did you not hear what was said in this room?
41172the General exclaimed, with an angry frown,"Is that the way you venture to act?
41172the General replied, biting his moustache with an ironical air,"Is he there, then?"
41172the Indian said, turning to the horsemen who accompanied him,"My brothers have heard: what do they say?"
41172the Jaguar exclaimed with some violence;"Are not these brave lads our friends, faithful and devoted friends?
41172the Jaguar muttered;"Whither shall I go?
41172the latter replied, in surprise;"Who are you that you know me so well?"
41172the latter said in surprise,"who are you, that you know me so well?"
41172the other continued, with considerable animation,"I have allowed you to speak, have I not?
41172the other replied;"Did you doubt it?
41172the wounded man exclaimed,"My heart did not deceive me, then?"
41172the wounded man replied;"you, her father?"
41172they cried in terror,"Can we have fallen into a trap?"
41172your friend?"
40219A despatch-- from whom?
40219A magnificent opportunity for me?
40219Ah, ah,the Jaguar said, becoming very attentive,"but how do you know the contents of the dispatch?"
40219Ah, then,he shrieked,"what I was told was true, then?"
40219Ah, very good; but these estimable Caballeros do not constitute the whole of your customers, I presume?
40219And I presume that you are acquainted with these proposals?
40219And Lanzi, my poor Lanzi, have you no news of him?
40219And does my presence here, Carmela, displease you also?
40219And from yours?
40219And if I refuse?
40219And pray who may you be?
40219And that will satisfy you?
40219And then?
40219And very naturally of Captain Melendez, eh?
40219And what is it, may I ask, if you have no objection to tell me?
40219And which you do not share in-- is it not?
40219And why should I answer them? 40219 And you believed in such infamy on my part?"
40219And you feel certain of guiding us safe and sound to the spot where we are expected?
40219And you regret it?
40219And you wish me to give you that proof?
40219And you, my friend?
40219Anxious? 40219 Are travellers so rare, then?"
40219Are we already reaching the spurs of the mountains?
40219Are we prairie- hunters and wood- rangers obliged to obey all the paltry exigencies of cities?
40219Are you asleep, Jaguar?
40219Are you aware what your new allies did last night?
40219Are you by chance speaking to me?
40219Are you speaking the truth?
40219Are you speaking to me in that way?
40219Are you, then, the celebrated wood- ranger, surnamed the Panther- killer?
40219As you see; but what are you doing there? 40219 At what place did you leave the General?"
40219Be frank with me, child, for am I not your best friend?
40219But Doña Carmela, what has become of her?
40219But on what conditions? 40219 But perhaps there is another mode?"
40219But you?
40219But you?
40219Can you be frank?
40219Come, enough of this,the American shouted, greatly exasperated;"what do you want?"
40219Curses,the slave- dealer howled;"have you resolved to make a target of us in turn?"
40219Did I not tell you,the Canadian continued, quietly,"that it had paired?"
40219Did I say four hundred?
40219Did you not hear the bell?
40219Do I not tell you that I have the letter about me?
40219Do not be frightened at such a trifle: answer me simply; is it so or not?
40219Do you fancy I should find any fun in remaining here?
40219Do you insist on knowing?
40219Do you know the contents of this despatch?
40219Do you know what this is?
40219Do you mean it?
40219Do you mean that really?
40219Do you mean the man who leaped off the platform just before you reached it?
40219Do you not feel any inclination for sleep?
40219Do you not know?
40219Do you promise me, then?
40219Do you speak truly? 40219 Do you think so, father?"
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Do you think so?
40219Does my brother still believe that Blue- fox is so weak?
40219Does the Spirit of evil trouble my brother''s brain?
40219Eh, eh, if he had not arrived just in time, he would probably have spoiled our fun; what is your opinion, John?
40219Excellency,he stammered, with great hesitation,"is it necessary that I should fight?"
40219For what end?
40219For what good?
40219For what object?
40219Forgive me, Excellency,he replied;"I have finished; I am now at your orders; what do you desire of me?"
40219Great Heaven, what has happened then?
40219Halloh,he said,"is that you again, Quoniam?"
40219Has he escaped, then?
40219Has my brother Black- deer seen Grey- head?
40219Have I ever refused to satisfy the slightest of your wishes?
40219Have I not reason to do so?
40219Have I not told you that it related to millions?
40219Have I not told you? 40219 Have you anybody with you here?"
40219Have you ever found me severe to you?
40219Here I am,he said,"What do you want of me?"
40219How comes it that they have reached this place before we are warned of their arrival?
40219How do I know? 40219 How do you live?"
40219How does that concern you? 40219 How is it,"the Captain said,"that the sentry at the drawbridge has not challenged?"
40219How long do you believe that you will be compelled to remain silent?
40219How much?
40219How should I? 40219 How so?"
40219How so?
40219How so?
40219How so?
40219How the deuce do you know that I have proposals to make to you?
40219Hum, Chief, I find you very sad to- day; what is the matter with you? 40219 I am glad to see you,"the young man went on, without any display of annoyance;"what accident has brought you in this direction?"
40219I am he,the Captain answered in great surprise;"what do you want?"
40219I am very ready to do so, but what proves to me that you do not mean harm?
40219I belong to myself, myself alone? 40219 I owed it to myself to make it; who knows whether you may not repent to- morrow the hazardous step you are taking to- day?"
40219I think that is the most prudent course; but you must feel a great affection for the Captain, that you so ardently desire to save him?
40219I will try, at any rate, my child, that is all I can promise you for the present; but what do you purpose doing?
40219I, father?
40219I? 40219 I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219I?
40219If I give you your liberty, should I deliver a friend or a foe?
40219If you are really Tranquil, I will allow you to enter; but who is the man that accompanies you, and for whom you answer?
40219In a few minutes they will be here,he said;"what is to be done?"
40219In a word, will you listen to me?
40219In any case, you will not refuse some slight refreshment?
40219In that case, what answer do you give me?
40219In what council has the grey- head Chief smoked the calumet? 40219 Is he not?"
40219Is it not?
40219Is it really very important?
40219Is my father visiting the valley?
40219Is not Blue- fox satisfied with the way in which I have received him and his companions?
40219Is that a regret you are giving vent to, Chief?
40219Is that all you have to say to me?
40219Is that all you have to tell me?
40219Is that all?
40219Is that all?
40219Is that the name you give my action?
40219Is that you, Davis, my old comrade?
40219Is that your advice?
40219Is the fight over?
40219Is there a hacienda here?
40219It is clearly understood between us, Excellency, that you will give me five hundred ounces?
40219It is sad, is it not?
40219It must be very difficult to say, then?
40219It was certainly a glorious sight; but are you not afraid that he may avenge himself? 40219 It''s settled then?"
40219Lanzi?
40219Look at me carefully; do you not recognize me?
40219May Heaven hear you, for I am dying of cold; is it a large animal?
40219Me?
40219My brother wishes to return to the warriors of his nation?
40219Niña?
40219No, that is not sufficient; I am free, that is true, but how have I become so? 40219 Now I can come, go, sleep, work, or rest, and no one can prevent me, and I need not fear the lash?"
40219Of course,the Canadian remarked, laughingly,"this caballero, who arrived so fortunately, was a friend of yours?"
40219Of what am I accused?
40219Oh, oh, you have a tough job before you; there are eighteen of us, do you know that?
40219Oh, oh,he said, in a slightly suppressed tone,"what is the matter, then?"
40219Oh, oh,the Jaguar said, in a good- humoured tone,"you have had a good hunt it seems, Lanzi; are the deer plentiful on the plain?"
40219Oh, very good, that''s a funny name you have given him; however, no matter, you say you care very little for him?
40219On me? 40219 One moment,"he said;"if you give me these weapons, how will you manage to return to town?"
40219Or, if you prefer it, can you be honest?
40219Parley,the Captain answered,"what good will that do?
40219Perhaps I am,he said, in a hollow voice;"Tranquil, your age is double mine; your experience is great; why do you judge rashly on appearances?"
40219Perhaps they are spies?
40219Prisoners? 40219 Shall I treat with him?
40219Shall I wait for him?
40219Shall we remain here in ambush?
40219Since you heard me,she said, attempting to jest,"why do you ask me?"
40219So soon as that?
40219So,he said,"you did not see the little one to- day Quoniam?"
40219Spies?
40219Stay,the Captain suddenly exclaimed,"where is the monk?
40219Still on credit?
40219Still we shall soon be between two hills?
40219Supposing,he said presently,"I allow you to enter, who guarantees that you will not betray me?
40219Thanks for what?
40219That is not the question,the Captain continued impatiently;"will you answer Yes or No?"
40219That is possible; but if that is the case, why not tell me them, at once?
40219That is true; but for what purpose does the General write to the Captain?
40219That is true; then it displeases your father-- is that it?
40219That to- morrow, so soon as the sale is completed, you will mount your horse-- you have one, I suppose?
40219That?
40219The nights are long,Blue- fox then said,"will my brothers remain here smoking?"
40219Then nothing can convince you of my good faith?
40219Then we have arrived?
40219Then what do you fear?
40219Then why did you begin the obstinate hunt with dogs and guns?
40219Then you are betraying your Chief?
40219Then you are quite dry?
40219Then you consent?
40219Then you hate the Jaguar of course?
40219Then you have a secret?
40219Then you have not finished yet?
40219Then you have nothing more to say to me?
40219Then you have succeeded?
40219Then you meditate a robbery?
40219Then, I can still count on my brother''s assistance?
40219Then, we play fair?
40219Then, you can not fix a period?
40219Then, you give it credit?
40219Then,the Black at length said,"I am free-- truly free?"
40219They are right,the young man answered, coldly;"that is really my intention; what next?"
40219To be killed, eh?
40219To whom else?
40219Very good, then; I admit it: what next?
40219We shall not part again?
40219We shall see,he said;"shall we soon get out of this infernal forest in which we now are?"
40219Well paid?
40219Well, Sam,he said in a low voice, as if afraid of being overheard,"I fancy we have succeeded, eh?"
40219Well, and now that you know me, are you disposed to answer my questions?
40219Well, daughter mine,the Canadian said to her softly,"what are you doing there?
40219Well, my friend,the Jaguar answered, carelessly,"men of that stamp are necessary, else what would become of us?"
40219Well, then, why not confess to me frankly what is troubling you?
40219Well, what else do I?
40219Well, what prevents you going then?
40219Well,John Davis asked him, who was anxiously watching for his return,"what have you obtained?"
40219Well,Tranquil asked the Chief,"what do you think of all this?"
40219Well,the Redskin said,"in what way can Monkey- face injure that safety?''
40219Well?
40219Were they expecting anybody?
40219What about Blue- fox?
40219What advice do you give me?
40219What brings you here?
40219What can have become of him?
40219What conditions?
40219What do I care? 40219 What do you intend doing?"
40219What do you intend doing?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you mean?
40219What do you say?
40219What do you say?
40219What do you want of me?
40219What do you want, señorita?
40219What do you want?
40219What do you want?
40219What do you wish for, Caballeros?
40219What does my brother think?
40219What does my father answer?
40219What does that concern you?
40219What does that mean?
40219What else can I do in this accursed desert, where I have buried myself for my sins?
40219What for?
40219What has become of my slave?
40219What have you to fear? 40219 What is it, Bob?"
40219What is it, then?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is it?
40219What is that you say?
40219What is the matter here?
40219What is the matter with you?
40219What is the matter?
40219What is the meaning of that?
40219What is the meaning of this?
40219What is this I feel?
40219What is this?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is to be done?
40219What is your motive for wishing to see me?
40219What is your name?
40219What is your plan?
40219What makes you suppose that?
40219What matter?
40219What matters the thought of a Chief at this moment,he answered,"since the Council of the Sachems has resolved on war?"
40219What may they be?
40219What money do you mean?
40219What more important consideration can compel you, then, señorita?
40219What need of details?
40219What need to tell you a story which can interest you so slightly? 40219 What other name can a poor slave give you?"
40219What other name can be given to so infamous a deed?
40219What was it?
40219What was the omen, then?
40219What were you doing there?
40219What will happen, then? 40219 What will you do, lads?"
40219What would you have? 40219 What would you have?"
40219What would you like to have?
40219What you say is noble, Chief; and I am happy to hear you speak thus; but are your measures well taken? 40219 What''s that you say?
40219What, you remained here?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219What?
40219Where are the buyers? 40219 Where are you going, my love?"
40219Where are you, you who are speaking?
40219Where are your warriors?
40219Where is she?
40219Where is the golden- haired girl?
40219Who I am?
40219Who are you then?
40219Who are you, as you speak our language with such correctness that you might almost be taken for one of our countrymen?
40219Who are you, then?
40219Who are you-- what is your name?
40219Who are you? 40219 Who are you?"
40219Who are you?
40219Who are you?
40219Who assures me that you are a friend? 40219 Who can answer for the future?"
40219Who else do you suppose?
40219Who else, then?
40219Who guarantees that the despatch you have brought me was really handed to you?
40219Who knows?
40219Who knows?
40219Who knows?
40219Who was it, then?
40219Who was the man-- did you learn?
40219Who we are?
40219Who''s Quoniam?
40219Who''s there?
40219Who''s this, John?
40219Who?
40219Whose turn is it next?
40219Why did you give it up then, since you liked it so much?
40219Why does my brother torture that man so?
40219Why not? 40219 Why not?
40219Why not? 40219 Why not?"
40219Why seek a subterfuge, if you wish to break the promise you made me? 40219 Why shall I not, if you please?"
40219Why should I do so? 40219 Why should I not allow it, since it is true?
40219Why should I refuse it to you, Chief? 40219 Why should it displease him?
40219Why so?
40219Why so?
40219Why so?
40219Why, señor, what man can answer for himself, and know positively who he is?
40219Why, then, did they become hostile?
40219Why, then, does a skin now cover my father''s heart? 40219 Why, then, has he painted all his body in this way?"
40219Why, where would you have me go?
40219Will my brothers allow themselves any longer to be mocked by a single man?
40219Will you answer my questions?
40219Will you play fair?
40219Will you surrender?
40219Would it? 40219 Would there be any harm in asking how much?"
40219Would you have come here without?
40219Wretched? 40219 Yes, I heard it, dear,"she replied;"but do you intend to open the gate at this hour?"
40219Yes, and you would not be vexed if I let you mount it, to fly more rapidly, eh?
40219Yes, while my comrades and I are trying to save the Captain?
40219Yes,"Now, do you consent to lead me to the Jaguar?
40219You are a hunter?
40219You are harsh to me, to- day, Tranquil,the young: man answered sorrowfully;"how have I sunk in your esteem?
40219You are in a great hurry to escape from me; are you afraid lest your lover may surprise you in conversation with me?
40219You are mad; have I not told you I wished to play the Indians a famous trick?
40219You are not asleep, Don Juan?
40219You did not expect me, I fancy?
40219You have had missions?
40219You have this dispatch?
40219You know that you are to serve as my guide?
40219You say you will sell your house for four hundred piastres?
40219You seem to have made a long ride, Caballero?
40219You swear it?
40219You think so?
40219You will obey?
40219You?
40219Your right to cross- question me?
40219_ Dios guarde a Vm!_he said,"have I the honour of speaking with Captain Don Juan Melendez?"
40219After this aside, during which Lanzi sought in vain to distinguish his unknown foe, he shouted in a loud voice:--"Hilloah, who are you?"
40219Am I responsible for the silence you insist on maintaining on all that concerns you personally?
40219And have you many of these missions?"
40219And pray do you know_ his_ name, my child?"
40219And what has become of him?"
40219Answer my questions plainly, or, if not--""If not?"
40219Are the savages completely wrong in thinking so?
40219Are they beginning to fear lest their prey may escape them?
40219Are you alone here?"
40219Are you really one of my fellow men, disposed to serve me?"
40219Are you tired?"
40219As for me-- bah, who knows?"
40219At last he raised his head, and turned to his wife--"Do you not hear the children crying?"
40219At this moment, when the hunter returned, Lanzi was saying to his mistress--"Why, señorita, should you fatigue yourself further this night?
40219But what could poor Indians do against Palefaces armed with rifles?
40219But what is the great service you propose to render me?"
40219But what''s that?"
40219But who guarantees that the conducta will pass through this gorge?"
40219But who was this man?
40219By the bye, Tranquil, do you know that it is cold?
40219Can a reprobate be beloved?"
40219Can you bring any accusation against them?"
40219Come, do you feel better?
40219Could you tell me, if I wished you to lead me to him?"
40219Did John Davis tell you my name?"
40219Did you not see that they have no power over him, and that his body is invulnerable?"
40219Did you, on waking this morning find yourself lying on your left side?"
40219Do you consider me ungrateful, then?"
40219Do you fancy it so easy to find about here a man with four or five hundred piastres in his pocket; and, moreover, ready to commit an act of folly?"
40219Do you know who accompanies him?"
40219Do you think it will carry on that game much longer?"
40219Do you understand me, Chief?"
40219Does my brother know how a sale of land is effected?"
40219Does my brother still think that I was wrong in throwing down the bloody arrows?"
40219Does that accursed monk wish to poach on our manor?"
40219Don Juan said;"and pray where may you be going, Señor Padre?"
40219Go on, girl, where will you find a confessor so indulgent as I am?"
40219Has my father had any cause to reproach the Chief?"
40219Has not such constantly been the conduct of the Palefaces?
40219Have not all our men returned?"
40219Have you come to me as friends or foes?"
40219Have you examined the neighbourhood carefully?"
40219Have you not confessed it yourself?"
40219Have you placed the sentinels as I recommended, Sergeant?"
40219Have you recovered sufficiently to continue your journey?"
40219He began laughing at my father''s words, and replied to him--''Are you the chief of the Redskins of this village?''
40219Hilloh,"he shouted,"what do you want?"
40219How can Tranquil leave you thus?"
40219How do you find yourself?"
40219How many are they?"
40219I am as good as any other man, white, yellow, or red?"
40219I am no longer a beast of burthen, which is loaded and harnessed?
40219I am not insulting you, Carmela; what harm is there in a pretty girl like you having a lover, if not two?"
40219I can act and think like other men?
40219I like to hear you speak so, for it proves to me that I was not mistaken about you; and now what do you intend to do?"
40219If I am foolish enough to let you go quietly, what assures me that you will not turn against me?"
40219If you are so uncomfortable here, why the deuce do you remain?"
40219If you do not know the habits of tigers, who should?"
40219Is it my fault, if, owing to your character, and the mysterious life you lead, you are placed beyond the pale of ordinary existence?
40219Is not the cause we defend grand enough to excite us to carry out our enterprise at all hazards?"
40219Is that the justice of the Palefaces?"
40219Is that true?"
40219Is the reward large?"
40219Is their reasoning false?
40219Is this constant disafforesting and clearing of the American continent a misfortune?
40219Is your force large enough to ensure success?
40219It is not difficult, I allow; and when he is in your power, supposing I do what you wish, what do you intend doing with him?"
40219My disguise?"
40219Or was it, on the other hand, the trail of a white man wandering about the desert, of whose habits he was ignorant?
40219Or, else, a soul ulcerated by a frightful misfortune, all whose faculties are directed to one object, vengeance?
40219The Captain was compelled to be satisfied with the guide''s half promise, so he went on:--"Who are you?"
40219The young man, therefore, mastered his impatience, and coldly said:--"I presume, then, you saw some evil omen at the moment of your departure?"
40219Then I need not look any longer over there?"
40219Then he added aloud--"Are you well acquainted with this part of the country?"
40219Then why did you bring it here?"
40219Then you supposed that the Jaguar intended to attack the conducta, and possibly kill the Captain, eh?"
40219This morning, then, I should have peremptorily declined the Jaguar''s proposals, for how do the wars the Palefaces wage together concern us?
40219Tranquil interrupted her, with a frown,"Do you know the scoundrels?"
40219Was he one of those monstrous organizations, which, beneath the envelope of man, contain a tiger''s heart?
40219Was it a feint employed by his enemies to deceive him more easily by letting him see a clumsy trail intended to conceal the real one?
40219Well, I will explain myself; at the moment the officer was about to start, you said to him,''Take care,''Would you venture to deny it?"
40219Well, if you like, after we have killed the jaguar, we will go to the Potrero-- does that suit you?"
40219Well, what would you have?
40219Were you not received, on your arrival, by the Chiefs of the tribe, in the light of a friend?"
40219What about?"
40219What answer shall I give the Jaguar?"
40219What did you guess from these few words?"
40219What do I need gold or silver, as a man of the desert to whom Heaven supplies daily food so liberally?
40219What do you want with me?
40219What do you want?"
40219What fearful catastrophe had cast him into the fearful mode of life he led?
40219What for?"
40219What has become of the girl with the golden hair, who lives here with my brother?"
40219What have you done?"
40219What is your decision?"
40219What reprehensible act have I done?"
40219What singular accident could have brought him so far on the border?
40219What trade were they carrying on?
40219What were the thoughts that contracted his forehead and made his eyebrows meet?
40219What will the Jaguar do for Blue- fox and his warriors?"
40219What will you reply to that?"
40219Whence comes this species of secret presentiment which is never wrong in its appreciation?
40219Whence did he come?
40219Whenever did the Palefaces have a straight and honest tongue?"
40219Where are the sachems who have treated with him?
40219Where is he?"
40219Where is the Jaguar at this moment?"
40219Who answers for your good faith?
40219Why did you not escape during my absence?"
40219Why not sell it?"
40219Why should I--_I,_ desire your absence?
40219Will he be willing to save him?"
40219Will my brother follow me?''"
40219Will you be good enough to tell me?"
40219You allow it?"
40219You are in a capital condition, and well escorted; what cause can you have for fear?"
40219You are really a bandit?"
40219You must be exhausted with fatigue, so why not try to get a few minutes''rest?"
40219Your name, brother?"
40219Yours?"
40219and why has suspicion crept into his mind about a man against whom, as he says himself, he has not the slightest reproach to bring?
40219continue my journey?"
40219did you see three owls flying on your right?
40219have I not to deal with an Apache?"
40219he answered;"Who am I that I should impose on you a line of conduct which you would probably despise, and advice which would prove unwelcome?
40219he asked himself, mentally, as he shook his head,"Can I be mistaken?
40219he asked in a loud and firm voice;"Are you afraid of letting yourself be seen?"
40219he asked;"Have you brought prisoners?"
40219he cried,"What do you want here?"
40219he exclaimed, in great grief,"What is said of you is true, then?
40219he exclaimed,"What is my brother doing here?"
40219he muttered to himself;"For what reason can he seek me?"
40219he muttered, as he pressed his hand powerfully against his heart, as if he suddenly felt a sudden pain:"Can it be what people call love?
40219he said, as he rose with marks of terrible anxiety,"What is taking place in the forest?"
40219he said,"Look over there, Captain; is not that a musket barrel glistening in the sunbeams?"
40219he said;"Do you fear an ambuscade?"
40219he shouted, loudly,"Have they done that?"
40219he went on, directly after;"How can I, the Jaguar, love?
40219he yelled in his fury,"do you wish to assassinate me?"
40219how so?"
40219one of them said, as he looked up;"Did she really say that?"
40219shall we get ready?"
40219she asked with feigned surprise;"Have I not brought you the mezcal you ordered?"
40219she exclaimed, turning pallid as a corpse;"What do you mean?"
40219she replied in embarrassment;"what do you suppose I said to him?"
40219the American answered, firmly;"What we want?
40219the Canadian went on, with a laugh,"then you''re John Davis, the famous slave- dealer?"
40219the Captain exclaimed, as he looked at a clock on the wall in front of him;"it is nearly eight o''clock, who can come so late?
40219the Captain muttered,"What does he want here?"
40219the Captain remarked, more undecided than ever,"and who will answer for you?"
40219the Scalper went on;"Have you not mumbled paternosters enough?"
40219the arriero exclaimed, joyfully;"Are you sure of what you assert?"
40219the half- breed answered with a significant shrug of his shoulders;"Why, do you not know that I would go into the fire for you?
40219the hunter continued, with a frown,"What could he have to do at the venta?"
40219the maiden murmured in agony;"Shall we arrive in time?"
40219the monk asked timidly;"Do you intend to abandon me then?"
40219the monk growled,"we have had hardly time to breakfast; why the deuce are you in such a hurry, Captain?"
40219the monk repeated, in amazement;"What opportunity, honourable Captain?"
40219what do you mean?"
40219what have we to fear from such vermin?
40219you are young, stout, and well armed; are you not capable of protecting yourself?"
40219you must be the Jaguar, whose name is held in execration on this border?"
40219you, Carmela?"
23140Ah, well;he says,"you wo n''t recognise me?
23140Air ye in airnest, Bill?
23140Am I indeed mad?
23140Am I never to get away from it? 23140 Am I still drunk?
23140And that letter was found on Dick Darke?
23140And who the fellow that laid hold of my horse? 23140 And you''ve seen nothin''of them?"
23140And you?
23140Are ye up to takin''care of horses?
23140Asleep, perhaps? 23140 Because Sime--""Where is he?"
23140But he''s goed off; ye do n''t intend follerin''him?
23140But how?
23140But we may meet them in the teeth?
23140But whar you goin''youself?
23140But whar?
23140But what proof have ye?
23140But why any time? 23140 But why are ye displeezed at meetin''me-- me that mayent be the grandest, but saitinly one o''the truest an''fastest o''yur friends?"
23140But why do you say so, Mr Wharton? 23140 But why, Charley?"
23140Ca n''t they, indeed?
23140Can we find safer, cap?
23140Darn it, Bill; what''s the matter? 23140 Do n''t you, Charley?"
23140Do you not go with us?
23140Do you propose our taking to the timber, and lying hid till they go past?
23140Fear o''what?
23140For what purpose?
23140For what?
23140Forebodin''o''what?
23140Glancing at me?
23140Had n''t we better awake them? 23140 Has he been rude to you?"
23140How are ye to help it? 23140 How do you propose, Sime?"
23140How so, Mr Borlasse?
23140How?
23140If he came what could I do? 23140 Indians about?
23140Is he not in the house?
23140Is there anything he could be carrying off from the house, with the intention of secreting it outside? 23140 Is''t you, Cris Tucker?
23140It is-- why not?
23140It''s Blue Bill, ai n''t it?
23140Kin I peak a wud wif you, Mass Woodley?
23140Kin any o''ye tell what it air?
23140Let us do so; but what about these?
23140Mass Woodley in da?
23140Mass Woodley, you want know who kill Mass Charl Clancy?
23140May I ask, Mr Borlasse, what business you follow?
23140Maybe back, across the river?
23140Mean? 23140 Not me, nor Ned?"
23140Now, what air it?
23140Oh, well, you wo n''t? 23140 Our horses?"
23140Phil Quantrell, we call him; though I guess he''s got another--"Where is he?
23140Quantrell and Bosley,he asks,"ai n''t they got here?"
23140Shall we return into the house?
23140Something quite diff''rent? 23140 Suppose that some one has seen me?
23140Suppose you cut it out, Sime?
23140Supposin''they''ve taken the trace we came by? 23140 Sure you do n''t intend leavin''me, Masser Charle?"
23140Surely you know I''m yur friend?
23140That is?
23140WILL YOU BE ONE OF US?
23140Wal; I''m willin'', for thet,rejoins Woodley, adding a reservation,"Ef they resist, how are we to help it?
23140Wal; what''s happened? 23140 Well, I need n''t say more, need I?
23140Well, Masser Charle, s''pose we lie hid durin''the day, an''track him after night? 23140 Well, then, who carries a smooth- bore through these hyar woods?
23140Well?
23140Wha you talkin''bout, Phoebe? 23140 What breed may your admirable Crichton be?"
23140What can it mean, Luke?
23140What can it mean?
23140What do you make of it, doctor?
23140What do you mean, boy?
23140What does it all mean?
23140What goes yonder?
23140What is it? 23140 What is''t, I wonder?"
23140What is''t? 23140 What mean you, Mr Darke?
23140What name?
23140What of all that, father? 23140 What on earth is the fellow after?"
23140What sight, Oris? 23140 What somethin''?"
23140What the devil is it?
23140What ud be the use o''that?
23140What way?
23140What woman air ye talkin''o'', Clancy?
23140What''s that out yonner?
23140What''s the matter, Jess?
23140What''s to be done with it?
23140What, indeed?
23140What?
23140What?
23140Where did you get the boots?
23140Where is my Charles? 23140 Where?"
23140Who can it be?
23140Who can they be?
23140Who sayed dar war? 23140 Who then?"
23140Who?
23140Whose?
23140Why d''ye say that, capting? 23140 Why do you say that?"
23140Why need we all go?
23140Why need ye go worryin''after that man now? 23140 Why should we?"
23140Why, Captain?
23140Why, Mr Borlasse?
23140Why? 23140 Why?"
23140Why?
23140Why?
23140Why?
23140Woodley would not be coming in that way, alone? 23140 You are wounded, Heywood?"
23140You do not love him, Helen?
23140You do remember that little matter? 23140 You know the place?"
23140You left her there-- safe?
23140You say, Sime, I can depend upon you to stand by me?
23140You see it?
23140You sure you ai n''t wounded, nor otherways hurt?
23140You think she_ saw_ me?
23140You think so?
23140You tink dar war something''tween dem two?
23140You would not marry him?
23140You''re sure o''whar they''re goin'', capting?
23140You''re sure of that, Simeon Woodley?
23140You''ve seen something to vex you? 23140 ''Splain it, sah?
23140''Twont do take the dog--''twont do to leave it-- what_ will_ do?"
23140A capital likeness, is n''t it?"
23140About the two sets of birds what will both sides be saying?
23140After all, what has he to fear?
23140After what''s been said I reckon you can trust me?"
23140Again soliloquising, he says,--"Shall I put a bold face upon it, and confess to having killed him?
23140Again the voice of the self- accused assassin:"You know me now?"
23140Ai nt that cunnin''o''the ole dog?
23140All look surprised, their glances interrogating"How?"
23140Am I dreaming?
23140Am I dreaming?"
23140An''now, Mister Darke, what do you intend doin''?"
23140An''what o''Dick Darke?
23140And how has he treated them?
23140And if we do-- say; shall we go, or try?"
23140And knowing that, why should n''t there be truce between us?
23140And living flesh it must be?
23140And me too?"
23140And must he submit?
23140And surely God will forgive me, for ridding the world of such a wretch?"
23140And what could the two do by themselves out on the wild prairie?"
23140And what have I been running away from?
23140And what is being done to them?
23140And what is the design of these painted savages, who look more like demons than men?
23140And what need she, now he is dead?
23140And what of Colonel Armstrong''s own daughters?
23140And who but Charles Clancy?
23140And why has it been shot?
23140And why should he go back?
23140And why?
23140And you''ll stay with me long as life holds out, and protect me from those skulking creatures?
23140Are there men on their backs?
23140Are you angry with me for refusing him?
23140As Darke stands before her with arms upraised, she simply says,--"Well, sir; if you_ are_ Richard Darke, what then?
23140As surely the man expected?
23140At such a time who would dare interrupt their deliberations for any trivial purpose?
23140Beneath the Mississippian tree you denied me: here under the Texan, you''ll not be so inexorable-- will you?"
23140Better, of course, if Clancy be dead, for then there will be but circumstantial evidence against, and, surely, not sufficient to convict him?
23140But a suspicion also sweeps through his soul, which, more painfully impressing, causes him to add still another interrogatory:"Am I mad?"
23140But his dog, remaining below-- that will betray him?
23140But how has it terminated, or is the end yet come?
23140But how have you got here?"
23140But if so, where is Hawkins?
23140But in the midst of its continuous strain there is surely a sound, not animal, but human?
23140But is there no way to--""Save me from bankruptcy, you''d say?
23140But they may not mean this; and their intent be only stealing?
23140But whar hev ye come from?
23140But whar''s Jupe?"
23140But what about the head?
23140But what better himself taken?
23140But where are the shouts of the assailants?
23140But who''s to tell us?"
23140But why tied?
23140Can any of you, gentlemen?"
23140Can he sleep, after what he has done?
23140Can he still be in dread of the unearthly?
23140Can she?
23140Can they have met my old jailer on the way, and brought him back to help in tracing me?
23140Can this be so?
23140Can you ask?
23140Can you not give a guess?"
23140Charles; you are surely jesting with me?"
23140Could a poor runaway slave be expected to make it?
23140Could he himself have fired the bullet, whose effect is before their eyes?
23140Could it, perchance, be Bosley?
23140Could you marry him?"
23140Darke starts, saying mechanically,"You saw me?"
23140Dead, and come to life again?
23140Despoiled of his far more precious treasure, what recks he of that?
23140Did ye not notice it yourself?"
23140Do you hear anything, Sime?"
23140Do you think it''s that?"
23140Does Darke rejoice at seeing only this?
23140Does Jupiter himself steal them?
23140Does she really love him, without giving sign?
23140Drawing it out, and holding it up to the light, he asks playfully:"Helen; was it meant fo''me?"
23140Dropt out o''the clouds?
23140Even if there were, what chance ultimately to escape?
23140Far more like it is Woodley-- the terrible backwoodsman, as ever after him?
23140Father, what should you be afraid of?"
23140First, then, answer me this questyun: Air you, or air you not, Richard Darke?
23140For what can the dog do for him?
23140For what is it lamenting?
23140From their presence what conjectures will they draw?
23140Full proof she has of his perfidy, or how should Darke know of it?
23140Had you iver reezun to misdoubt me?"
23140Half a dozen voices are heard simultaneously asking, not"who is the lady?"
23140Han''t you seen the Indians?"
23140Has he escaped from the custody of the outlawed crew?"
23140Has he not yet seen the head and hound?
23140Has his fell speech slain her?
23140Has his old comrade been killed?
23140Has one of the combatants been killed, or gone away?
23140Has the assassin escaped?
23140Has the scouting party been cut off, and he only escaped to tell the tale?
23140Hasten to the settlement, and summon a doctor?
23140Have ye seed him?"
23140Have you any reason to suspect his honesty?"
23140He but says:--"What have we done, that you should disarm us?
23140He knows they will not stay there; and where next?
23140He may have let it out?"
23140He must have received it: Surely Jule put it into the tree?
23140He seems to have been created for the special purpose of pursuing me?
23140He''ll go along, wo n''t he?"
23140Hev ye did anythin''to him?"
23140His fellow tippler may be shamming, as himself?
23140His young master may be a murderer?
23140How are we to avoid them?"
23140How can he protect poor Jupe, his own freedom-- his life-- equally imperilled?
23140How could he, as none other are likely to be encountered there?
23140How could they?
23140How d''ye incline to that way of it?"
23140How have you escaped from the robbers?
23140How is he to account for that?
23140How is he to be assured?
23140How is that, I wonder?
23140How shell we act, Charley?
23140How''d ye like_ me_ for yer master?"
23140How''ll ye like that, Charley Clancy?"
23140How?
23140I wonder who''s done it?
23140I''m cool as a cowkumber-- aint I?
23140IS IT A CORPSE?
23140If not some of the settlers, at least Heywood would be along with him?
23140If so, what will be her fate?
23140If that be not reality, what is?
23140If they did, what would they see there?
23140If we meet a monk in hood and cowl, I shall certainly--""Do what?"
23140If we should meet one, what would you do?"
23140If you''re not going immediately home, perhaps I may be the bearer of a message for you?"
23140Instead of going on to explain, he puts a second interrogatory--"May I ask, M. Dupre, whether you had any character with him?"
23140Is he, Blue Bill, to make himself acquainted with the crime, and bear witness against him who has committed it?
23140Is it Dupre, Hawkins, or who?
23140Is it a like delusion, that now shows her his assassin in the streets of Natchitoches?
23140Is it approaching?
23140Is it because her haughty disposition hinders her from being too demonstrative?
23140Is it fancy, or does he also hear human voices?
23140Is it sure of being as prosperous, or more likely to be permanent?
23140Is it to attack the new colony, plunder, and destroy it?
23140Is it to be torture?
23140Is it?
23140Is n''t it an excellent likeness?"
23140Is she dead?
23140Is she dreaming?
23140Is she sure he has not?
23140Is thar anythin''wrong?
23140Is that not an oath to be kept?
23140Is the mestizo''s stomach made of steel?
23140Is the noble animal now to be tried in a way never intended-- retreat?
23140Is there a man on the ground who ca n''t call out the murderer?"
23140Is there anything dead?
23140It may be asked, Why under such strain was the tale written at all?
23140It may be that sure of his victim, he but delays the last blow, scheming some new horror before he strike it?
23140It must have whiffed up suddenly, and become commingled with the moss?
23140Jupiter?
23140Kin you?"
23140Maybe they killed him on the spot?
23140Need I be very minute?
23140Need I say, it is the"Death Shot?"
23140No doubt they will search for days, weeks, months, if need be; and in time, but too late, discover-- what?
23140No use denying them, as its occupant is well aware-- not even to ask--"Who''s there?"
23140Now that he has her-- the sister too-- why may he not have taken both off, intending henceforth to cut all connection with the prairie pirates?
23140Now, do you understand me?"
23140Now, what are we to make of all this?"
23140Now, what d''ye want me to do for yurself?"
23140Of course it can be but a fancy?
23140On hearing it, he but says:--"While runnin''off, yur master let fall a letter, did he?
23140One interrogates,--"Was that letter dropped by Dick Darke?"
23140One now cries out--"What need to talk any more?
23140Or can I promise myself, that your wonderful skill as a` tracker,''of which we''ve heard, will enable you to discover it?
23140Or have both forsaken the spot where they have been trying to spill each other''s blood?
23140Or is he mistaken?
23140Or is it indeed he whose arms are around, folding her in firm but tender embrace?
23140Or is it indeed reality?"
23140Or must I tell you, Nell?
23140Or they may be but a pioneer party-- the vanguard of a greater force?
23140Or, but half killed and recovered?
23140Perhaps better for her she should never receive it?
23140Perhaps collected around some animal they have hunted down, and killed-- possibly a prong- horn antelope?
23140Perhaps''twill be enough to name the place and time?
23140Perhaps, a stricken stag, a prong- horn antelope, or a wild horse crippled by some mischance due to his headlong nature?
23140Perhaps, you think it befits present time and company?
23140Possibly the unexplained presence of the animal has given him a surprise, and hence he approaches with caution?
23140Proceed to the place whence the shots came, and ascertain what has actually occurred?
23140Recovering herself, she rejoins,--"Even were it as you say, sir, by what authority do you question me?
23140Remember that the morning after?
23140Returning to it, what beheld he?
23140Rush right up an''tackle''em?
23140Say, is the thing impossible?"
23140Say; what hev ye kim for?"
23140Shall he go back in search of them?
23140Shall he turn upon the pursuer, make stand, and meet him face to face?
23140Shall we wait for him?
23140Shoot him down like a dog, as he thought he had me?
23140Sime, will you go with me to Texas?"
23140Some of your Luis''s gold for instance, or the pretty jewels he has given you?"
23140Some one else expected, I presume?"
23140Something whispers this-- perhaps the spirit of my mother?
23140Soon he resumes speech in changed tone, and interrogatively:--"Do you know who''s talking to you?
23140Speaking first, Woodley asks,--"What d''ye think o''it, Ned?"
23140Still the second question remains unanswered:--"Why should Dick Darke have killed Charley Clancy?"
23140Surely it signifies something, and this bearing upon the object of their search?
23140Surely must it be a signal, and preconcerted?
23140Surely no common quarry, as the carcase of elk, antelope, or mustang?
23140Surely the voice of a man?
23140Surely you would not wish to see me the wife of Richard Darke?"
23140Tell me, Bill, o''all that you seed an''what you heern?"
23140Tell me: in what way did you give him answer?"
23140The answer will depend upon-- need I say whom?
23140The desperado is speechless with astonishment-- only muttering to himself:--"What the devil''s this?"
23140The question is called up, Whence gets he such good things?
23140The question is,"has it been a fair one?"
23140The question is-- Have they passed the place, where it was intended to waylay them?
23140The returning marauders would not likely be delayed so late?
23140Then one asks, suggestingly:"Who is there in this neighbourhood that''s got a shooting- iron of such sort?"
23140Then, as if struck by something in the appearance of the corpse, he mutteringly interrogates:"Is he sure gone dead?"
23140Then, bending down and tossing back his plumed bonnet, he asks,"D''ye know me, Charley Clancy?"
23140Then, do you suppose that I''m going to run away from, and lose sight o''her and them?
23140There is some secret-- a danger?
23140These are:--"Now we''ve struck thar trail, what, boys, d''ye think we''d best do?"
23140They ca n''t tell who fired the fatal shot-- how could they?
23140They have no doubt of its being his, no more of his being dead; the only question asked is"Where''s his body?"
23140They may at the moment be surrounding it?
23140They may come too late?
23140They purtend to make thar livin''by ropin''wild horses?
23140They''ve let him loose, and he has scented back on the trail?
23140This, and no sentiment of remorse, or repentance, wrings from him the self- interrogation, several times repeated:--"Why the devil did I do it?"
23140Throughout all these days where has Clancy been?
23140To his unfinished speech he receives instant rejoinder:--"You do n''t know who I am?
23140To what end should he?
23140To what?
23140To whom, then, do they appertain?
23140Two questions in chief, correlative, occupy them:"Who killed Clancy?"
23140Under the circumstances, how is he to act?
23140WHAT HAS BECOME OF CLANCY?
23140WHY COMES HE NOT?
23140We might get strayed there, and if so, we''d better be in hell?"
23140Well, it''s all over now, and the question is: what next?"
23140Well; you asked me in return what that means?"
23140Wha''for you so soon home?
23140Whar kin a hide maseff?"
23140Whar kin they hev been, an''whar hev they goed?"
23140Wharever is you body?
23140Wharfore ca n''t ye?
23140What am I talkin''''bout?
23140What are they to do now?
23140What are you speaking of?"
23140What better proof that they are only temporarily deserted, and not abandoned?
23140What can be detaining him?"
23140What can be keeping his comrade, who promised so soon to be back?
23140What can be the thing thus attracting, at the same time repelling them?
23140What can it be?
23140What can it be?
23140What can it mean?
23140What can it mean?
23140What can the creature mean?
23140What can they be doing out there?
23140What cares he for its comforts, or for aught else, thinking of that horrible head?
23140What do you mean?"
23140What do you think, Charley?"
23140What does that mean, Mr Borlasse?"
23140What does that signify?
23140What else could they do, or would they?
23140What has become of them, and their captives?
23140What have dem rascally ruffins been an''done to ye?"
23140What is he to do?
23140What is to be done with the ex- jailer?
23140What is_ he_ doing there?
23140What matters my going home?
23140What may be the meaning of this?
23140What may it mean?
23140What next?
23140What ought we to do with them?"
23140What ought we to do, think you?"
23140What reason have you to think so?"
23140What say ye, fellers?
23140What should any one be doing there?
23140What terrible tragedy has occurred to leave such traces behind?
23140What the devil does it all mean?
23140What then?
23140What will she say when she hear o''it?
23140What would Miss Helen say if she see him now?
23140What would she care were he alive?
23140What''s the use o''waitin''till they get there?"
23140What''s the use of fretting about Clancy?
23140What''s this for?
23140What''s yar view ob de matter?
23140What, Sime?"
23140What?
23140Where Bosley?
23140Where are their masters?
23140Where are they?
23140Where do you intend strolling to?"
23140Where everybody?
23140Where is Hawkins?
23140Where is Hawkins?
23140Where is Quantrell?
23140Where is Sime Woodley?
23140Where the Indian yell-- the dread slogan of the savage?
23140Where the while hidden?
23140Where were they now?
23140Where''s the best place to play spy on him?"
23140Who but he could have taken it out?
23140Who can explain it?
23140Who can mistake the signs of love, either in man or woman?
23140Who can tell what changes may occur in the heart of a woman?
23140Who can tell what passed through her mind at that impending moment?
23140Who could describe her heart''s desolation?
23140Who could say what sort of ball, or the kind of gun it came from?
23140Who could, circumstanced as he?
23140Who d''ye spose is at the bottom o''all this?
23140Who have been the murderers, and where are they now?
23140Who is he?
23140Who knows what time may do-- that and Texas?
23140Who should know that better than I?
23140Who was this man, in the chill, silent hour of midnight, flinging himself upon it in sorrow or adoration?
23140Who''s the t''other, may I axe?"
23140Who, Ned Heywood?"
23140Who, then?
23140Why bark at him above all the others-- selecting him out of the crowd-- so resolutely and angrily assailing him?
23140Why ca nt we just as well stay heer?
23140Why d''ye talk so mysteerous?
23140Why did he shout, sending Darke away?
23140Why did n''t I do it?
23140Why do you say that, Hawkins?
23140Why do you say that?"
23140Why does he not take advantage of the power, with which the legal code of the United States, as that existing all over the world, provides him?
23140Why has he not gone mad?
23140Why should I care for either?
23140Why should he be staying out so late-- after midnight?
23140Why should he care to recover it?
23140Why should the dog have made such demonstration?
23140Why should the young hunter be coming back alone?
23140Why should you wish to make us prisoners?"
23140Why?"
23140Will it ever be as dear as that we are leaving behind?
23140Will it occur to him to come on to the rock?
23140Will she ever forget him?
23140Will that story stand?"
23140Will the wolves wait for him?
23140Will you?"
23140Wo n''t he, sister?"
23140Wo n''t ye tell me how it''s all kim about?"
23140Wo n''t you join?"
23140Ye say, you do n''t want that?"
23140Ye''ll want some o''us wi''ye?"
23140Ye''ve gob it?"
23140You could not, my child?"
23140You do n''t intend killin''him?"
23140You know that, Harkness?
23140You know, do n''t you?"
23140You picked it up, Bill?
23140You say, Woodley, you''ll go with me?"
23140You see where my bullet has struck him?"
23140You understand me?"
23140You''ll excuse familiarity in an old friend, wo n''t you?"
23140You''ll give in, yourself, it looked a leetle queer; did n''t it?"
23140You''ll see himself shot down ere long, or--""Or what, masser?"
23140You''ll take Jim Borlasse''s word for that, wo n''t you?"
23140You''re not afraid, are you?"
23140You''re sure there''s no other way for them to pass out from the river?"
23140Your Luis will surely not keep him, if he knows it''s disagreeable to you?"
23140_ No_ doubt she''s on her way to keep an appointment with him?
23140adding the interrogatory,"Is it yurself or yur shader?"
23140and"What has been the motive for killing him?"
23140and"Where is his body?"
23140are you sure o''what ye say?"
23140but"where?"
23140can horror be felt further?
23140demands the beautiful girl, laying her hand upon his shoulder, with a searching look into his eyes;"why do you speak thus?
23140do n''t ye think we''d be more likely o''findin''the game by stayin''hyar?
23140echoes Sime, interrupting;"who mout ye mean, Clancy?"
23140he exclaims once more, staying his stroke, and giving way to conjectures,"what can be the matter with the poor brute?
23140he exclaims, in an earnestness of passion-- if not pure, at least heartfelt and strong--"why should you care for a man who thus mocks you?
23140interrogate several of his confreres, in tones that express the different degrees of their familiarity with him questioned,"Why, Jim?"
23140interrupts Sime with increased surprise,"Surely you mean goin''along wi''us?"
23140she says, in soothing tone, her arms extended caressingly,"why do you stay out here?
23140something of-- Luis?"
23140suggests Heywood,"ought n''t we to take them along?"
23140suppose we go outside for a stroll?
23140the likeness, yes; but the inscript-- these pleasant words written underneath?"
23140what are you blubbering about?
23140what d''ye think o''the thing?"
23140what dis mean?
23140what is that upon the plain?
23140what is to become of us?"
23140what''ll become o''Miss Armstrong?
23140what''s it mean?"
23140what''s that?"
23140where are you?"
23140why have you done it?"
23140you''d like to get me angry?
23140you''ll do your best to help me find him?"
40602A boat, bearing a flag of truce, is hailing the brig; what is to be done?
40602A truce to this exchange of puerile speeches; will you answer my question, yes or no?
40602A very simple matter: how it is that a monk finds himself at such an hour alone in the heart of the desert?
40602Agreed; where are the guides?
40602Ah, ah,John said thoughtfully,"and what do you conclude from that, Ruperto?"
40602Ah, you carried off my daughter and fancied yourself well concealed, did you? 40602 Ah,"Tranquil said, ironically and with a dark frown,"I have known Blue- fox for many years, and you, Chief?"
40602Ah,said the Jaguar thoughtfully,"do you know any of these hunters?"
40602Ah,the two officers said, walking quickly up to him,"who is he, then?"
40602Alas, friend, what greater misfortune could I tell you of than that which, by ruining our dearest hopes, has plunged us into despair?
40602All is clearly understood between us, Jaguar?
40602Already?
40602Am I an old woman, to be deceived by the smooth words of a forked tongue?
40602Am I not? 40602 Am I their keeper, Colonel Melendez?"
40602And John Davis?
40602And he were to kill you?
40602And how long will you require to finish my fortress as it stands on the parchment?
40602And is Tranquil here?
40602And pray what may you want with me, Señor?
40602And still brought no news?
40602And suppose I refuse to tell it to you?
40602And suppose I refuse?
40602And the Jaguar?
40602And then you came straight here?
40602And those scoundrels?
40602And where is this privileged spot, my friend?
40602And you approve?
40602And you conclude from this?
40602And you have rested?
40602And you trust to him?
40602And your soldiers, Caballero,he went on, a minute later, stopping before the officer,"I suppose they fled at the first shot?"
40602Apparently, do you say?
40602Are the reasons that have brought my brother here urgent?
40602Are the rebels alarmed? 40602 Are they both here?"
40602Are we going to start again?
40602Are we really out of danger, father?
40602Are you afraid?
40602Are you all right?
40602Are you brave?
40602Are you certain?
40602Are you dumb?
40602Are you fond of money? 40602 Are you going to the fort?"
40602Are you quite sure, Caballero, that I have not the right to act as I am doing? 40602 Are you so ignorant of naval matters, then, as not to know what takes place on board a vessel after an engagement?"
40602Are you sure?
40602Are you the Fort- Commandant?
40602Are you there?
40602Are you tired?
40602Are you very anxious to know?
40602Are you wounded?
40602Are you?
40602As you please,the pirate answered, and prepared to go down; but, suddenly reflecting, he added,"Tell me, can you not do me a service?"
40602Brothers,he said,"you have heard all that passed between Don Lopez Hidalgo d''Avila and myself?"
40602But how did you succeed in escaping from the hacienda after the arrival of the troops, Quoniam?
40602But how will you effect it?
40602But iron, wood-- in a word, all the articles necessary for such a building, how to procure them?
40602But the boat?
40602But these men who crossed the camp?
40602But what guarantee can you offer me on the sincerity of your intentions?
40602But when the master arrives?
40602But where is this gate situated?
40602But where shall I find you?
40602But where will you wait for him?
40602But why does not the Chief frankly go and join his friend, if he knows where he is? 40602 But yourself?"
40602By the bye,one of the strangers remarked,"have you come alone?
40602By the way, Captain,the Lieutenant continued, with some hesitation,"we are drawing near the gut; do you intend to pass through it?"
40602By whom?
40602By- the- bye,said the General, presently,"have these partisans any capable men at their head?"
40602Can he be dead?
40602Can you be frightened?
40602Can you be trusted?
40602Can you support yourself in the water by putting one hand on Lanzi''s shoulder and the other on mine?
40602Captain,the hunter exclaimed,"what do you propose doing?"
40602Carmela?
40602Certainly I see birds; but what have they in common----?
40602Come, Caballero, suppose we are frank with one another-- are you willing?
40602Come, Excellency,said Mephistopheles,"you can hardly suppose that I have any intention of taking you in?"
40602Could you prove to me that this young person is really your daughter?
40602Did I not tell you that I had serious news to impart to you?
40602Did I not tell you that I have been prowling about the neighbourhood for some days?
40602Did the flight of the birds deceive us?
40602Did you not also evince a desire, Caballero, to have an interview with me?
40602Did you run any dangers?
40602Did you wish to speak to her or to me?
40602Do not speak about that, for are we not sworn friends?
40602Do you fancy, then,he said,"that if I had only some news to tell you, I should have brought you here?"
40602Do you feel better, holy Father?
40602Do you feel strong enough to mount again?
40602Do you hesitate?
40602Do you hesitate?
40602Do you imagine,Don Cristoval objected,"that a privateer brig, knowing you to be in these parts, would venture to force a passage?"
40602Do you know what has become of the Mexican flag we found in the commandant''s room?
40602Do you know whether the Mexicans have other ships observing the ports, in addition to the corvette we have captured?
40602Do you know who that man is, standing close to you?
40602Do you know why I left you?
40602Do you mean it?
40602Do you not see?
40602Do you not think, master,the pirate said,"that this spot is excellently chosen for the place I meditate?"
40602Do you see nothing?
40602Do you think so, General?
40602Do you think so, lad?
40602Do you think so? 40602 Do you think so?"
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think so?
40602Do you think, then, that ship is not American?
40602Do you wish to rest?
40602Does he intend to lay siege to it?
40602Does my father believe so?
40602Does my father know where they are gone?
40602Don Juan,he continued,"why do you so obstinately defend a lost cause?
40602Eh, what?
40602Excellently reasoned; but supposing I_ do_ refuse?
40602Father,said Doña Carmela,"will you let me fall alive into the hands of that tiger?"
40602Father,the inquisitive maiden said, as she looked around,"have visitors arrived?"
40602For what good? 40602 For what purpose did they that?"
40602From bandits, I suppose, Captain?
40602General Rubio?
40602General,he said raising his voice,"can you hear me?"
40602Good day, father,she said, demurely,"you have already returned?"
40602Good morning, lad,the latter replied;"did you sleep well?"
40602Good, and now you are re- united?
40602Good, my coyotes,he continued, with the same mocking tone;"now, I suppose, you would like to smell a little blood?"
40602Good- morning, little one,the hunter replied, with a smile;"did you sleep well?"
40602Has my brother slept well?
40602Has the great Pale hunter come alone?
40602Have you any news, then?
40602Have you ended?
40602Have you further bad news to tell us?
40602Have you heard no more than that?
40602Have you looked at me enough?
40602Have you no hopes of recovery, then?
40602Have you received news of our friends?
40602Hence?
40602Hilloh, Señor Padre, what are you doing in the forest at such an hour?
40602How did the Sachem learn that he would find me here?
40602How do I know?
40602How do I know?
40602How do you know? 40602 How many men do you keep with you?"
40602How many men have you?
40602How should I know it?
40602How so?
40602I am as rich as the whole of you put together,he replied;"who does not know the wealthy Don Lopez Hidalgo d''Avila?"
40602I am very sorry for it; but what other answer than that can I give you?
40602I am your prisoner, then?
40602I did, Captain; I have only one question to ask you, though-- will you promise me to answer it?
40602I give it; but who guarantees me that you will act honourably on your side?
40602I presume that the question I asked surprised you?
40602I presume you do not intend returning to Galveston?
40602I think you called, Señor?
40602I think you said the enemy''s camp was plunged in sleep?
40602I? 40602 I?"
40602I?
40602If I can not enter Galveston, you can leave it, I suppose?
40602In that case war is declared?
40602Is Captain Melendez still alive?
40602Is a new danger threatening us?
40602Is all clear?
40602Is he a traitor?
40602Is he here, then?
40602Is he not, father?
40602Is it not?
40602Is it not?
40602Is it serious, then?
40602Is it so serious as that?
40602Is that all?
40602Is that all?
40602Is that you, Lanzi?
40602Is the news you have to tell me really serious?
40602Is there no one here?
40602Is what you said to us about your return to honest courses sincere?
40602It is true,the Jaguar said, coldly,"but what does that prove?"
40602Loyal Heart?
40602Mine or yours, father-- is that not the same thing?
40602My father knows the pale hunters of these prairies?
40602My father will look,the Chief continued, stretching out his arm to the south- west,"does he see that reddish light scarce rising above the horizon?"
40602No,said Tranquil, as he kissed her pale forehead;"here is my dagger, child?"
40602Nonsense, who knows? 40602 Nonsense,"said the worthy pirate, who was quite rebuffed,"do you think our Lord will not look twice before condemning a man of my sort?"
40602Not even those flocks of herons and flamingos flying in large circles, and uttering shrill cries which you can hear from here?
40602Now, that is settled,he continued,"you want me no longer, I suppose?
40602Of course you have found the person again, Chief, to whom you devoted yourself?
40602Of what, my child?
40602Oh, oh,the Jaguar muttered,"how will it end?
40602Oh,the Jaguar said, smiting his forehead,"can the hacienda have one of these sally ports?"
40602On my faith, I do not know,he answered;"but of what consequence is it?"
40602On the contrary, all goes ill."What do you mean?
40602On the contrary, you must lie down, my friend, for do you not remember I said I would keep watch?
40602On what conditions?
40602On your soul and conscience, is this man guilty?
40602Redskins?
40602Seen who?
40602Señora,the Commandant said, leaning over to the young lady seated by his side;"are you afraid of the sea?"
40602Shall we hang him?
40602She is now, then, at the Larch- tree?
40602So near as that? 40602 Speak, Ruperto, what is it?"
40602Stay,said Loyal Heart,"are you not tigrero to the Larch- tree hacienda?"
40602Still I must explain to you----"For what good purpose?
40602Still?
40602Strangers?
40602Suppose I refuse?
40602Suppose this man were one of the bandits who traverse the desert?
40602Suppose we hail him? 40602 Tell me, my friend,"Don Juan answered,"may I be allowed to speak with the Chief?"
40602That is to say?
40602That is true,said Don Serapio;"but what prevents us getting into your boat?
40602That is true; but what can we do?
40602That is true?
40602The weapons too?
40602Then the hunter is an Indian?
40602Then we are at liberty?
40602Then you have not seen him?
40602Then you imagine----?
40602Then you intend to make the expedition you told me of this night?
40602Then you know the conditions I imposed on General Rubio?
40602Then you will employ force to coerce a single, unarmed man in his own house?
40602Then, I shall have my castle tomorrow?
40602Then, I suppose, you have been reconnoitring?
40602Then, the words you have just uttered are serious?
40602Then, we are about to witness a sea fight?
40602Then, whatever happens, you will act?
40602Then, you accept?
40602Then, you do not wish to parley?
40602Then, you give me your word as a soldier that the conditions I impose on you will be legally carried out by you?
40602This night; but is your information positive?
40602To seize the hacienda?
40602To tack?
40602Tranquil?
40602Two women?
40602Was I not obliged to tell you first what had happened to me? 40602 Was it he who revealed to you the existence of the sally port by which we are to enter?"
40602Was it not? 40602 Was it, strategetical position?"
40602We act toward each other with all frankness and honesty of purpose?
40602We are perfectly aware of what you are capable, Señor; but we are only four men, and after all----"And the boat''s crew?
40602We have,Tranquil continued,"to cheat the cheater, and play at diamond cut diamond with him; you understand me?"
40602Well, Caballeros,the young man said mincingly, in a sweet and harmonious voice;"do you not recognize me?
40602Well, General, have I kept my word?
40602Well, gossip,the latter asked him at once;"what news have you?"
40602Well, say whether you are resolved to obey me at all hazards?
40602Well, what then?
40602Well, you see; and our passengers?
40602Well,El Alferez continued, stamping his foot impatiently,"have you made up your mind; yes or no?"
40602Well,Ramirez asked,"what have you done?"
40602Well,Ruperto remarked,"did I not tell you that you would be soon cured?
40602Well,he asked him,"what do you think of it?"
40602Well,he asked him,"where is the flag?"
40602Well,he said, with a smile,"what does your friend Jaguar write?"
40602Well,the Chief asked, without turning,"why did you warn us, Lanzi?"
40602Well,the young man continued,"do you accept, General?"
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602Well?
40602What are you about?
40602What can you mean?
40602What conditions can you have to offer us, since you refuse to surrender?
40602What did you mean, then, my child?
40602What do you desire, Excellency?
40602What do you intend doing?
40602What do you know of it? 40602 What do you mean by ought to be watching?"
40602What do you mean by that remark, Caballero?
40602What do you mean by that remark?
40602What do you mean by yours, Señor Governor? 40602 What do you mean, my friend?
40602What do you mean? 40602 What do you mean?"
40602What do you mean?
40602What do you mean?
40602What do you say, Tranquil?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?
40602What do you say?--''What does that prove?''
40602What do you want, Señor?
40602What do you wish to know?
40602What do you, think of that, Excellency?
40602What do_ you_ see, let me ask in return?
40602What does my father want?
40602What does the Chief mean?
40602What does this parcel contain?
40602What else are you at this moment?
40602What good to tell you?
40602What good will it do,he said,"to pick a quarrel with your allies?
40602What good will that do?
40602What good would that do, since you have not recognised me?
40602What happened, then?
40602What has become of General Rubio and the officers who accompanied him?
40602What have I done, now?
40602What have you to say to me, brother?--have you a fresh misfortune to announce?
40602What idea?
40602What is it then, in your opinion?
40602What is it then?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is it?
40602What is the fellow''s name?
40602What is the matter with you?
40602What is the matter, then?
40602What is the matter?
40602What is the meaning of this, Caballero?
40602What is the use of reflecting? 40602 What is the use of taking so much trouble about me?"
40602What is to be done?
40602What is your plan?
40602What makes you imagine that?
40602What makes you think so?
40602What matter, do you say?
40602What matter, so long as I love you, father? 40602 What matter?"
40602What o''clock is it?
40602What others?
40602What punishment does he deserve?
40602What shall I do with them? 40602 What shall we do?"
40602What shall we do?
40602What state is he in?
40602What the deuce would you have me do General? 40602 What then?"
40602What will you do?
40602What would you have me answer, Caballero,the young man said, with a delightful smile,"since you know all?"
40602What''s the matter?
40602What, father, dress ourselves as men?
40602What-- the enemy? 40602 What?
40602What?
40602Whatever may happen?
40602When I offer you an unexpected success?
40602When do we start?
40602When force does not avail, stratagem must be employed; is not that your opinion?
40602When shall we land?
40602When?
40602Where are we?
40602Where are you going?
40602Where are you going?
40602Where are you?
40602Where are your men?
40602Where can he be?
40602Where did you find this?
40602Where do you propose going? 40602 Where is he then?"
40602Where is it?
40602Where is the hunter going?
40602Where is the person we have come to deliver concealed?
40602Where may we be going, Lieutenant?
40602Where the deuce are you taking us?
40602Where the deuce would you have me go at this hour, and in this darkness?
40602Where, and at what hour?
40602Which means, I presume, that you look upon me as a prisoner, General?
40602Which question?
40602Who are the persons with you?
40602Who are you, and what do you want?
40602Who are you, who appear to know me and answer so strangely?
40602Who calls me?
40602Who can flatter himself with possessing a firm heart?
40602Who goes there?
40602Who is he?
40602Who knows? 40602 Who knows?"
40602Who speaks?
40602Who told you that I was alone?
40602Who will keep watch tonight?
40602Whom do you mean?
40602Why did he not accompany my father here?
40602Why did he not come in person to meet me?
40602Why did you come, then?
40602Why did you not awake me on your arrival?
40602Why did you not bring them in at once?
40602Why else, then?
40602Why enter such a den as this?
40602Why have you not applied to him, then?
40602Why not you?
40602Why not, if circumstances compel him?
40602Why not?
40602Why not?
40602Why should I employ toward you those conventional forms of politeness, General? 40602 Why should I not confess that I can not read?
40602Why so far and so late, brother?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why so?
40602Why take up your weapons?
40602Why threaten a man who does not insult you?
40602Why?
40602Will my brother kill Blue- fox?
40602Will the Chief permit me to ask him a question?
40602Will you be quiet?
40602With whom have I the honour of speaking?
40602With whom?
40602Without leaving off?
40602Would it be indiscreet, Captain, to ask you whither you have given orders to have us taken?
40602Would there be any danger in going on deck?
40602Would you doubt my word?
40602Yes, but--"Ah,said the pirate,"there is a but then?"
40602Yes, yes, he is a rude adversary; but you got the better of him at last?
40602Yes,Loyal Heart remarked;"but for what purpose?"
40602Yes: but to whom can I trust her now that the venta is destroyed?
40602You also allow that you came here with the intention of seizing the city?
40602You are aware that I am an architect?
40602You are aware that you have deserved death?
40602You are mad,the old man said with a disdainful shrug of his shoulders;"if I had betrayed you, should I have led you here?"
40602You are quite forgiven, Colonel,he said;"have you received any more bad news?"
40602You are quite resolved on opposing us?
40602You are right, so I will be clear: which of you gentlemen bears the name of Tranquil?
40602You are skilful?
40602You have no further orders to give me?
40602You have, then, a reason for acting as you are now doing?
40602You know him better than we do then, as you speak thus of him?
40602You said, Fray Antonio,the young man continued, addressing the monk,"that you suspected the motives of the Apaches''extraordinary treatment of you?"
40602You seem to take great interest in Captain Melendez, my child?
40602You still adhere to your idea, then?
40602You swear it?
40602You will not do so,"For what reason?
40602You will remember that I warned you you would end your domiciliary visit with this room?
40602You will see; besides, must we not go and pick up our boat, which has not yet returned?
40602You?
40602Your daughter?
40602Your resolution will not change?
40602_ Rayo de Dios!_the Jaguar shouted;"What is the meaning of that?"
40602After the usual compliments had been exchanged with extreme politeness, the Major- domo asked--"With whom have I the honour of speaking?"
40602Am I correctly informed?
40602And speaking to the look- out man, he said--"In what direction is that ship?"
40602And then again, supposing the stones were found, squared, and brought to the foot of the rock, how were they to be raised to the top?
40602And then, what would be his reason for doing so?
40602And was it known to the garrison?
40602And what has become of that man?"
40602And who are they?"
40602And who is the Governor of the place?"
40602Are you afraid that I shall fail you when the hour for fighting arrives?"
40602Are you disposed to let me see him?"
40602Are you ready?"
40602Are you sure that the bearer of this letter is dead?"
40602Be frank, monk, have you told us the truth?"
40602Besides, was it not agreed that political questions should never separate us?
40602Besides, what was the good of speaking, when they could act?
40602But I do not see Ramirez among you; can he have been so awkward as to get himself hung?
40602But put yourself for a moment in my place; if I had made you the same proposals you offered me, what would your answer have been?"
40602But what means was he to employ to acquire this certainty?
40602But what use is discussion?
40602But, when we have succeeded in throwing them out, where shall we go?"
40602But,"he added sadly a moment later,"of what use will they be?"
40602By what accident is he here, when he started with the conducta de plata?"
40602Can I trust to your delivering my message to him?"
40602Can a detachment of Pawnees be wandering in the neighbourhood?
40602Can our audacious attempt have proved successful?"
40602Can you guess, Tranquil, who this Chief was to whom I was led?"
40602Captain, has any mishap occurred to the conducta?"
40602Carmela exclaimed, falling on her knees, and clasping her hands fervently;"will you abandon us?"
40602Did it go up and down?
40602Did you fight, pray, in the open day?
40602Discuss them with you?
40602Do men like us ever surrender?"
40602Do you accompany me, Don Felix?"
40602Do you consider yourself so free from suspicion that you really consider this measure arbitrary?"
40602Do you fancy you can find the information we require there?"
40602Do you imagine, Jaguar, that I am the man to neglect any precautions, and do things by halves?
40602Do you not think as I do-- that something extraordinary is taking place on board the corvette?"
40602Do you really intend to be of service to us?"
40602Do you think the coast is guarded?"
40602Does my father know him?"
40602Does not that appear extraordinary to you, Don Felix?"
40602Don Cristoval suddenly asked,"What has become of our boat?"
40602For the last time I ask you: Will you tell me the reason of your constant refusals?"
40602Have you been more fortunate?"
40602Have you finished your narrative?"
40602Have you followed my trail from the village?"
40602Have you noticed any signs of agitation in their camp?"
40602He does not mean to ask me to christen him, I suppose?
40602How could I have forgotten that?"
40602How is it that these words strike my ear so far from their hunting grounds?
40602How reach the tree, which oscillated violently with every gust?
40602How was the door to be opened?
40602I now return to the second question you asked me: What reason brought me here?
40602I promise you I will do all you wish, my darling child-- well, does that satisfy you?"
40602I trust that he is not dangerously wounded?"
40602I will tell you presently, but first answer your third question-- How I got here?"
40602In that case you are insurgents?"
40602Is it so?
40602Is there anything new?"
40602John Davis?"
40602Loyal Heart will accompany the Chief to the callis of the nation?"
40602Make haste, for who knows whether I may not be liberated tomorrow, if you do not kill me to day?"
40602Must they turn back, and lose all the profit of such perils overcome, and difficulties incurred?
40602Must we surrender our swords?"
40602My child, you are suffering, and did not tell me-- are you ill?"
40602Nonsense,"he added after a little reflection,"we have seized the fort, then why should they not capture the corvette?"
40602Nothing disturbs you,"Don Juan went on half angrily,"Have all our scouts returned?"
40602Now, answer, what is your resolve?"
40602Now, when and how shall we meet again?
40602Only a few days back-- but why recall that?
40602Return to Blue- fox,""What?"
40602Shall I tell you the new insults the Apaches have dared to offer your Comanche fathers?
40602So he does not yet know who the Pale hunter is?"
40602Some of us will remain on the road; but what matter, so long as we succeed?
40602The Jaguar reflected for a moment, and then continued--"You hate me, I suppose?"
40602The conspirators were terrified at the condition in which they saw their Chief, for what could they do without him-- what would become of them?
40602The sentinel outside the tent challenged,"Who goes there?"
40602Then at the end of a moment, he returned to the maid and said,"You hate me then?"
40602Then it is still for this night?"
40602This is about the period when I am wo nt to proceed to the village; so, will you let me guide you there?
40602To keep a young girl prisoner?
40602Tranquil exclaimed, warmly,"Are you really Black- deer, my brother?
40602Tranquil exclaimed,"Is that charming squaw I see there, the Singing- bird, that frail child whom I so often tossed on my knee?"
40602Tranquil said all at once,"Why, where is Quoniam?"
40602Tranquil, is that you?"
40602Up to the present the Comanches have remained neutral; why should they interfere now?
40602Was it friendship, or was it love?
40602We have our revenge to take upon him: then why are you not at your quarters?
40602Well, are you alone?"
40602Well, now that all is arranged according to our wishes--""Your wishes?"
40602Well, what have you done?"
40602Were they dead, or only in a faint?
40602What are you looking at so fixedly in the sky?
40602What can this Pagan have to say to me?
40602What certainty have you that this is the first time we have been face to face?
40602What could they have said?
40602What could we two not do?"
40602What do you want of me?
40602What else could I do in the face of such accusations?
40602What good would it be?
40602What harm do you see in that?"
40602What has happened to you?"
40602What have you to say to me?"
40602What motive had impelled the strange man to this unqualifiable action?
40602What was this passage through?
40602What will prevent me?"
40602When the coyotes are tearing each other asunder on the prairie, do the Indians try to separate them?
40602When you entered our association you accepted all the laws?"
40602Where are the men you promised to bring?"
40602Where is John Davis?
40602Where is the conducta?"
40602Who am I?
40602Who can answer?
40602Who knows whether I may not be rewarded at a later date?
40602Who knows whether the life of this officer may not be more valuable to us than his death?"
40602Who was he?
40602Why had this strangely selected title been given him?
40602Why shed your generous blood in the service of tyranny?
40602Will the friends of the Jaguar have a better opinion of him?''"
40602Will the great Pale hunter come?"
40602Will you eat?
40602Will you make the spring work yourself, Caballero, or would you prefer my doing it?"
40602Without a warrant, by your mere will?"
40602Would you like to take any refreshment?"
40602You care little whether Texas be free or in slavery?"
40602You give me the meeting at the Fort of the Point?"
40602You have not destroyed it, I trust?"
40602You know it then?"
40602[ 1] What rumour resounds in the distance which interrupts the placid silence of the dark night?
40602are you sure of that?"
40602he asked Quoniam,"Is he dead?"
40602he exclaimed with surprise, on perceiving the Colonel,"are you still here, Señor Don Juan?"
40602he remarked, ironically,"So you know that, Señor Governor?"
40602he replied,"Then my father knows where to find the Chiefs friend?"
40602he said to them,"Not ready yet?
40602he said, with that magnificent coolness which never deserted him,"What''s this?"
40602he said,"And no other person but the young Pale virgin accompanies the hunter?"
40602he said,"What can have happened?
40602is the Paleface speaking the truth?"
40602said Doña Mencia with a cry of terror,"What does that mean?"
40602said the Chief,"Only one?"
40602said the Jaguar,"Can he be dead?
40602she replied with a smile,"Why do you ask, Commandant?"
40602the Captain shouted;"Who knows whether we may not be crushed by superior forces in an instant?"
40602the Chief said, with an emotion he could not quite conceal;"Has he really retained the memory of his brother, Black- deer?"
40602the Colonel repeated, utterly astounded;"And what can the second item be?
40602the Colonel said, with a smile;"Then you understand me, Don Felix?"
40602the General continued, angrily;"Have you suddenly grown dumb?"
40602the General remarked,"Are they all dead?"
40602the General shouted, as he gave him a terrible glance, and stamped his foot:"The conducta captured, and yourself alive to bring me the news?"
40602the Jaguar asked reproachfully;"have you abandoned him?"
40602the Jaguar exclaimed, turning livid with passion;"Can it possibly be so?"
40602the Negro exclaimed, in amazement,"Have you guessed it?
40602the conspirator said,"Are we threatened with a domiciliary visit?"
40602the lieutenant could not refrain from saying,"You mean to go ashore?"
40602the old man replied with undiminished coolness;"Do you fancy that I put myself out of the way for nothing?
40602the old sailor exclaimed in astonishment;"The Fort of the Point?"
40602the other exclaimed anxiously;"What have you done with it?
40602the young man continued;"Would you like, now, to learn the second item?"
40602who shall attack the third tintorera?"
6425''Ai n''t I paid my bills?
6425''Miss Good''?
6425''No quarter asked''? 6425 --aren''t you, Mr. Gray?
6425A what?
6425About that trouble between you an''him, eh? 6425 Afraid?
6425After all, he''s grown up, and what right has anybody got to interfere with him? 6425 Allie?"
6425Am I dreaming?
6425And all of them are dry, are they not?
6425And do they always buy your issues?
6425And in the meantime?
6425And miss all the fun? 6425 And that is--?"
6425And the child? 6425 And you knew each other abroad?"
6425And you wo n''t offer any resistance?
6425And-- what''s the price?
6425Anything new on this side?
6425Are them_ real_ di''mon''s?
6425Are these mountains what you thought they would be?
6425Are these other folks, these rich ones around the hotel, like you?
6425Are you going to spoil the best sale I''ve made in two weeks?
6425Are you really good friends? 6425 Big business, eh?
6425Buddy in love? 6425 Buddy?
6425Business worries?
6425Buy it? 6425 By that I infer that you''re going to take the bank over-- take its management away from Bell and Henry?"
6425By the way, how does Buddy like the new home?
6425Ca n''t you see? 6425 Can you beat that?"
6425Certainly are sweet, but--"But what?
6425Church sociable som''er''s?
6425Colonel? 6425 Control?"
6425Could you get hold of this-- this boy basso and bring him here without letting him or his mother know?
6425Cream? 6425 Cross your heart?"
6425D''you know why I felt this thing so keenly? 6425 Di''mon''s for Allie and me, eh?
6425Did any of you sell out?
6425Did he welch-- quit under fire?
6425Did n''t I put down all our shallow wells? 6425 Did n''t I say you were a good salesman?
6425Did n''t I tell you this was my game of pretense?
6425Did n''t know what?
6425Did n''t you learn anything?
6425Did n''t you-- care for her?
6425Did she see you?
6425Did the Germans do that?
6425Did what?
6425Did you do that?
6425Did you ever see it like this before?
6425Did you find out anything about the-- the woman?
6425Did you hear what he said?
6425Did you see that? 6425 Did you see--?
6425Did you send all the way to Hot Springs to get a guy you can lick?
6425Did you?
6425Dieting, eh?
6425Do I act as if I were joking?
6425Do n''t you call salting a well dishonest?
6425Do n''t you?
6425Do they cost much?
6425Do with him? 6425 Do you believe I was framed?"
6425Do you drink any more?
6425Do you know him?
6425Do you know who owns the controlling interest in this hotel? 6425 Do you know why?"
6425Do you like it?
6425Do you really believe that?
6425Do you think I''d stay, after this? 6425 Does anybody know?"
6425Does he say we are good friends?
6425Drinking, eh?
6425Eh? 6425 Eh?"
6425Eh?
6425Ever hear how the first discovery was made? 6425 Ever try to pull a bulldog out of a fight when he had the other dog down and his teeth in its throat?
6425Expose Jackson?
6425Faint- hearted? 6425 Flying pretty high, are n''t you?"
6425For the rest, you took Nelson''s word, eh? 6425 Forgotten?"
6425Foxy, are n''t you?
6425Frightened? 6425 Funny, him comin''here a stranger, an''gettin''to run our whole family, ai n''t it?"
6425Gas?
6425Get to me? 6425 Give me permission to treat him as if he really were my own, will you?"
6425Going to kick Henry and me off the board, eh? 6425 Got anything else up your sleeve?"
6425Gray?
6425Had n''t we better argue that in Buddy''s presence? 6425 Had n''t we better leave, too?"
6425Has he got anything against me? 6425 Hate me?
6425Have you caught them lying, here?
6425Have you gone clean crazy?
6425Have you seen the Post?
6425Have you seen the woman?
6425He could have stung you, easy, could n''t he? 6425 He fell easy, eh?"
6425He told you that?
6425He won''t-- die? 6425 He''s a dear boy, is n''t he?
6425He''s buying and selling, is he? 6425 Henry Nelson?"
6425Her_ what?_Mallow''s hearer gasped.
6425Hold the meeting, eh? 6425 Honest?
6425Honest?
6425How about oil properties? 6425 How about you?"
6425How can it be shut in? 6425 How d''you mean?"
6425How did a''boll weevil''like this Jackson ever make even a hundred- and- fifty- barrel well, in the first place? 6425 How do you know?"
6425How far is it back to high ground?
6425How long you allow it will take?
6425How many companies have you gentlemen promoted?
6425How much d''it cost?
6425How much?
6425How much?
6425How so?
6425How so?
6425How so?
6425How you going to break a man by bringing in wells alongside of his property? 6425 How you going to get through, kid?"
6425How''d you know?
6425How''s it breaking for her?
6425How? 6425 How?"
6425How?
6425How?
6425Huh?
6425Hunh?
6425I ai n''t bothering anybody, am I?
6425I beg pardon?
6425I beg pardon?
6425I ca n''t understand why--"What''s the odds why he done it?
6425I can choose gowns for her, but how can I tell her the sort of-- well, corsets she ought to wear? 6425 I got to see-- What is it?"
6425I have no feelings?
6425I mean it''s in cash or the equivalent?
6425I''d rather--"You''d rather do exactly what would please me, now would n''t you?
6425I-- beg pardon?
6425I? 6425 If you think it''s funny to jab a gun in a man''s belly when he ai n''t lookin''--""A gun?
6425If you wanted it for him, why did you bring it to me?
6425In oil? 6425 In what way, may I ask?"
6425In what way? 6425 In_ here_?"
6425Indeed? 6425 Indeed?
6425Indeed? 6425 Indeed?
6425Indeed?
6425Indeed?
6425Indeed?
6425Indeed?
6425Interested? 6425 Is he sore at you?"
6425Is it a plant?
6425Is it something about the-- the Princess of Wichita Falls?
6425Is n''t the-- sort of life you are living becoming a bit tiresome? 6425 Is n''t there any-- oil?"
6425Is that all?
6425Is that her?
6425Is that so?
6425Is that why you-- went an''got that di''mon''ring I had made?
6425Is this your first visit here, sir?
6425Is your guaranty any good?
6425Is your well producing twelve hundred barrels a day?
6425It would n''t hurt your reputation to bring in a wet well for a change, would it?
6425It-- it sort of makes a difference, does n''t it?
6425It_ is_ shocking, is n''t it? 6425 J''ever see a dame the size of that gal?"
6425Jackson did n''t get to you, did he?
6425Judgment? 6425 Just how much confidence do I inspire in you?"
6425Just what are you doing and how do you do it?
6425Just what do you mean by that?
6425Legitimate competition is one thing; malice, double- dealing, dishonesty is--"Dishonesty?
6425Let you? 6425 Lick you?
6425Licked me good, did n''t you?
6425Luck? 6425 May I ask you to step down to Buddy''s room?"
6425Me?
6425Me?
6425Meaning--?
6425Mebbe you''ll take Buddy, after all? 6425 More''n is good for him if--""If what?"
6425Mountains? 6425 My dear Colonel, would you expect me to come to Wichita Falls without paying my respects to my ranking officer, my immediate superior?"
6425My price? 6425 No chance of Bell Nelson throwin''us out, is there?
6425No funds of your own available?
6425No?
6425No?
6425Not, I hope, because you question the nature of my intentions?
6425Not-- really?
6425Now, if we had something wet, eh? 6425 Of course you insure it against theft?"
6425Offsets, eh?
6425One man, did you say?
6425Overawed?
6425Pinched?
6425Quite all? 6425 Ready for breakfast?"
6425Really?
6425Remember that old silver tip that took a stand in front of the Owl Drug Store a few days back? 6425 Running wild, eh?
6425She chucked the dancin''teacher out of a winder?
6425She did n''t pull the family estate and her father''s slaves and the orange grove on you, did she?
6425She do n''t ever get mad at you, does she?
6425She is purty, ai n''t she? 6425 She''d clean up in vaudeville, would n''t she?
6425Simple, is n''t it? 6425 Slapped my face, did n''t you?"
6425So you''re the lad that threw pepper in his eyes?
6425So? 6425 So?
6425So? 6425 So?
6425Some pajamas, ai n''t they? 6425 Some-- grudge, perhaps?"
6425Some_ woman_?
6425Steal something?
6425Still wearing dark glasses, eh? 6425 Take a loss like that?"
6425Tell me,he began,"was it altogether on Buddy''s account that you an''him tied into one another?"
6425That lease is worth one hundred and sixty thousand dollars, is n''t it?
6425That means, I infer, that you refuse to close the chapter?
6425The old Virginia homestead and the slaves--?
6425Theatrical, as always, are n''t you?
6425Then I''ve got-- something coming to me, have n''t I?
6425Then they''ve-- settled it between them?
6425Then you''re not interested?
6425There is a boy, too, is n''t there?
6425Think the boss will stand for that kind of a deal?
6425Those were--?
6425Thought I meant it, eh? 6425 Time is a grim old joker, is n''t he?
6425To what am I indebted for this--_honor?_Nelson inquired, with a lift of his lip.
6425Too late for what?
6425Trouble? 6425 Twenty- four?"
6425Under water? 6425 Want to fight any more?"
6425Was Lieutenant Roswell in France?
6425Was she a wicked princess?
6425Was that Buddy talkin''?
6425Well?
6425Were n''t you frightened?
6425Were you in France?
6425What ai n''t?
6425What ails me? 6425 What ails that old dame, anyhow?"
6425What are the indications at Nelson''s well?
6425What are these nesters to you?
6425What are you getting at? 6425 What are you saying?
6425What are you saying?
6425What d''you mean by that?
6425What did Henry Nelson have to do with it?
6425What did I_ do_ it for? 6425 What do you know about the business?"
6425What do you mean by that?
6425What do you mean by that?
6425What do you see?
6425What do you think I''m going to do?
6425What do you want?
6425What do you wish me to do?
6425What do you wish to know?
6425What fer? 6425 What for?
6425What for?
6425What for?
6425What happened to_ you?_"I was playing tag in the hall with some other old men, and one of them struck me.
6425What have you been telling Buddy about me? 6425 What have you done,"the banker sneered,"except get your name in the papers?"
6425What incident?
6425What is he talking about, Henry?
6425What is it?
6425What is she up to all day?
6425What is the estate you mentioned?
6425What is the price?
6425What is this all about?
6425What kind?
6425What percentage of that goes?
6425What right have_ you_ to preach? 6425 What the hell ails you, anyhow?"
6425What the hell--?
6425What was it he did?
6425What was the use? 6425 What was you up to the other day?
6425What would I be going to the train for, now?
6425What would you do, if you were in my place?
6425What you goin''to do?
6425What''s going on?
6425What''s he doin''here if he''s so rich?
6425What''s it mean?
6425What''s matter?
6425What''s one?
6425What''s that? 6425 What''s the matter?
6425What''s the matter? 6425 What''s the other one?"
6425What, pray?
6425What-- is that devilish stuff?
6425What-- what for?
6425What? 6425 What?
6425What?
6425What?
6425What?
6425What?
6425What_ ever_ possessed me to accept this position? 6425 What_ have_ I done to you?"
6425When does it expire?
6425When?
6425Where are you going, dad?
6425Where d''you get that''jump''stuff?
6425Where do you go every day, Ma? 6425 Where do_ you_ come in to get all het up?"
6425Where does Mr. Briskow live?
6425Where is Allie?
6425Where is Ma?
6425Where shall we go?
6425Where the devil have you been, Buddy? 6425 Where''d you pick up this lingo?"
6425Where?
6425Who are you?
6425Who d''you visit with? 6425 Who is this Gray?
6425Who says I want to dance?
6425Who, me? 6425 Who,_ me?_"Briskow laughed scornfully.
6425Why did n''t you call me?
6425Why did n''t you take along a policeman or somebody?
6425Why did n''t you tell me? 6425 Why did you-- hold off so long?"
6425Why do n''t you take Pa along? 6425 Why does he call you that,''Bob''?"
6425Why is it offered for seventy- five?
6425Why not let the poor carp have her? 6425 Why not?
6425Why not? 6425 Why not?
6425Why not?
6425Why should n''t I?
6425Why-- it''s solid gold, ai n''t it?
6425Why? 6425 Why?"
6425Why?
6425Why?
6425Why?
6425Will he do so?
6425Will you wait forty- eight hours?
6425With that woman, eh? 6425 Wo n''t you introduce me to these-- let us say magnetic forces of nature that you have discovered?"
6425Wo n''t you stay an''have supper with Allie an''me? 6425 Woman scrape?"
6425Worth while? 6425 Worthless, eh?
6425Would it appear presumptuous if I asked you, in return for this favor, to select the very prettiest gown in this shop for your very own?
6425Would n''t I be a fool?
6425Would ye?
6425Would you like to have her remain?
6425Would you rather be alone?
6425Would your one- lunged friend know how to play in?
6425Yeah?
6425Years?
6425Yes? 6425 You did it, eh?
6425You do n''t care?
6425You do n''t object to drinking?
6425You give him twenty- four thousan''dollars? 6425 You goin''to leave us?"
6425You goin''to try an''_ hold_ me here?
6425You going to bump off that land to somebody else?
6425You have a beautiful home, and you want it to be perfect, do n''t you?
6425You helped_ me_?
6425You imply, then, that there is a blot upon mine?
6425You know them Nelsons?
6425You know_ everything_, do n''t you? 6425 You made a real son of her, did n''t you, Tom?"
6425You mean that?
6425You mean these new holes may come dry? 6425 You mean to accuse Henry of-- of treachery of that sort?"
6425You mean--?
6425You say you want nothing to do with oil?
6425You see? 6425 You think not?
6425You think you can beat me-- Want to make it a money fight, do you? 6425 You thinkin''about gettin''_ married_?"
6425You took''em, did n''t you, when you had less''n I got?
6425You will soon have ample time-- if not to waste, at least to meditate--"What do you mean by that?
6425You wo n''t be mad with me, will you?
6425You wo n''t mention my foolish mistake, will you? 6425 You would n''t consent to go back or-- have a tutor, like Allie?"
6425You''d have had her for a while, would n''t you? 6425 You''re after big game, I take it?"
6425You''re doing your damnedest to-- to start something, are n''t you?
6425You''re going to eat with us, ain-- aren''t you?
6425You''re not ashamed of her?
6425You''re not too tired, I hope, to have dinner with Allie and me in the big dining room at the Ajax?
6425You''ve seen''em, have n''t you, mister?
6425You-- didn''t even forget that I love bluebonnets, did you, dad?
6425You? 6425 You_ are_ lovely, both of you, but-- this is my party, is n''t it?
6425You_ have_ been lucky, have n''t you?
6425You_ sure?_"I''m quite sure she would if you asked her. 6425 Your little girl?"
6425Your office? 6425 _ Control_?"
6425_ Friend?_"Exactly!
6425_ Girl?_''Arline Montague,''eh? 6425 _ Girl?_''Arline Montague,''eh?
6425_ Growing?_Gray chuckled.
6425_ Honest?_"Cross my heart.
6425_ Love_? 6425 _ Love_?"
6425_ We?_Gus smiled quizzically.
6425_ What?_"And she is making good.
6425_ What?_Allie inquired, sharply.
6425_ What?_Halloran''s irascible face reddened.
6425_ What_?
6425_ Will_ I?
6425_ Willing?_Buddy''s eyes sparkled.
6425_ Would_ he? 6425 _ Would_ you?
6425''"Where do I--''?
6425''Is beauty vain because it will fade?
6425''No quarter asked''?"
6425''You''re in pretty deep, ai n''t you?''
6425A father''s pride, you understand?"
6425A fellow in love with the most wonderful woman in the world could n''t afford to look cheap in his home town, could he?
6425A good loser, eh?
6425A hundred and fifty barrels in the heart of settled production for seventy- five thousand?
6425After a few weeks somebody got to wondering why that spot never dried out, and, come to investigate, wha''d''you think?"
6425After a moment Gray said, quietly,"So, she''s married?"
6425After a moment he inquired of Gray,"How much is that hull lot wuth, Mister?"
6425After a moment of hesitation Gray inquired, curiously:"Judge, do you believe that a man can live down disgrace?"
6425After a moment, he inquired:"What about Bell Nelson?"
6425After a while, when the two men were on the street again, Buddy inquired:"Who is that young lady?
6425After all, I merely awakened the Sleeping Beauty, while you--""The prince woke her up with a kiss, did n''t he?"
6425Again his mind grew weary, baffled; he experienced a wretched physical illness... Where to go, where to hide until his sickness had passed?
6425Ai n''t a duke higher than a princess?"
6425Ai n''t it funny how quick folks can learn to put up with bad grammar when you got a jingle in your jeans?
6425Ai n''t it sparkly?"
6425Ai n''t no chance of him doin''that, is there?"
6425Ai n''t that worth all Buddy''ll have to pay?
6425Allie undertook to evade the speaker''s eye, but unsuccessfully, and he inquired, sharply:"What''s wrong?
6425Allie''s away an''Ma''s layin''down, so--""Ma is n''t ill, I hope?"
6425Am I right, Senator?"
6425An''s''pose I did?
6425An''us rich as we are, an''him broke?
6425And have you heard her talk?"
6425And him only up to fractions?"
6425And paid his bill?
6425And the truth is nasty, is n''t it?"
6425And what do you see?"
6425And why do you say people''like me''?
6425And yet-- why not?
6425Another secret, eh?"
6425Anyhow, they were in a panic, but when the derrick went down what do you think?
6425Anyhow, what do you think, Ma?
6425Anything exciting can happen in a town where one has neither friends nor acquaintances, eh?
6425Anything important?"
6425Are n''t you about fed up on uncertainties?"
6425Are you a colonel, too?"
6425Are you a partner of Colonel Nelson''s?"
6425Are you turning honest, too?"
6425As the father trotted down the hall beside his swiftly striding deliverer, he gasped,"How''d you do it?"
6425As the latter approached, he inquired:"What''s wrong?"
6425As to double- dealing-- is it double- dealing to go to an enemy and tell him frankly that you intend to down him and how you propose to do it?"
6425At sight of her husband''s face Ma inquired, in sudden anxiety,"What''s wrong, Gus?"
6425Bell''s hard- boiled, but--""Henry Nelson?"
6425Better shoot a reporter around and get a story.... You_ do n''t_?
6425Blown the casing out-- Bad, is n''t it?
6425Breathlessly, curiously she inquired,"Wha''d you do that for?"
6425Briskow?"
6425Buddy Briskow and I had an argument--""That big bum?
6425Buddy examined the object anew, then he inquired,"Say, why''d you offer to gimme this?"
6425Buddy was surprised, so she asked him:"Are n''t you sore at him for-- what he did?
6425Buddy will soon be back, I dare say?"
6425Buddy''s been writin''to me and--""What''s the difference?
6425Buddy''s gone kinda wild, I guess, drinkin''an''--""Drinking?"
6425Buddy''s han''some, and they got nice women everywhere--""_ Love_?
6425Business bad?"
6425But I''m looking better, do n''t you think?"
6425But are n''t you afraid he''ll learn, for instance, why you are eating peppermints?"
6425But how about the other suckers?
6425But there is nothing more to be said, is there?"
6425But what do you know about it?
6425But what do you think that pilgrim did?
6425But what if Gray were in earnest?
6425But when this suggestion met with disapproval, Gray inquired:"Is it because you are ashamed of_ them_--of your mother and sister?"
6425But where?
6425But while we are on the subject of tips, would you mind helping yourself to a dollar out of my trousers pocket?"
6425But why did n''t it start?
6425But why only a quarter interest?
6425But why this impatience?"
6425But why?"
6425But would they consent to have a stranger--?"
6425But-- who am I, after all?
6425But-- why lie to himself?
6425Buy that well?
6425By the way, is that his right name?...
6425By the way, is there any food in the house?"
6425By the way, what set the well afire?"
6425By the way, where am I going to get this money?"
6425By the way, why did you quit school?"
6425CHAPTER VI"Well, did you land them hicks?"
6425CHAPTER XXI"Why the SOS?"
6425CHAPTER XXIX One morning, several days after the annual meeting, Gus Briskow opened the door between his and Gray''s office and inquired,"Busy?"
6425Ca n''t you guess what it is?"
6425Calvin Gray withdrew quietly from the hubbub and asked Mallow,"Can that be true?"
6425Can I arrive at terms with you gentlemen?"
6425Can you assure us that there is none?"
6425Can you ride a horse?"
6425Cheap lease at seventy- five thousand, eh?
6425Clean, though, ai n''t it?"
6425Come upon her unprepared, would they?
6425Could it be that Arline had made a fool of him?
6425Could it be that he had read a wrong significance into Allie''s actions?
6425Could n''t you_ love_ a man who would think of a present like that?"
6425Could_ you_?"
6425Coverly actually appeared to be relieved at this statement, but he inquired, curiously:"What have you got up your sleeve?
6425D''you think he got the flu or something, all of a sudden?
6425D''you think you''re going to fall in love and marry a duchess, or something?
6425Did Buddy have a talk with you?
6425Did he care, or was it all pity-- just his way?
6425Did he lay it on you like that?
6425Did n''t I say so?"
6425Did n''t he make us twenty- four thousan''dollars, where we would n''t of got nothin''?
6425Did n''t we take keer of you when you come to the ranch?
6425Did she-- Was the old home in Virginia?"
6425Did you serve?"
6425Do I?"
6425Do n''t I stand in_ loco parentis_ to the girl?"
6425Do n''t you agree with me?"
6425Do n''t you?"
6425Do you expect to see Knute Hoaglund while you''re there?''"
6425Do you know what I think of you?"
6425Do you know what I''d like to do best of all?"
6425Do you know what that means?"
6425Do you suspect someone in particular?"
6425Do you think I shall risk losing you again?
6425Do you think I''m very weak, very silly to come to you for a little mothering?"
6425Do you think he''d go it blind on my say- so?"
6425Do you think your father would trust me?
6425Double- crossed the farmers, see?
6425Ever strike you as queer that crude never breaks as long as the big companies have got their tanks full?
6425Every issue we''ve put out has gone above par at some time or other, and that''s playing the game square with our customers, ai n''t it?
6425Evidently she cared for him-- or was she merely impressed, flattered?
6425Finally, however, she inquired, curiously:"What was it you said to Henry Nelson as I came out?
6425Finding it is n''t as easy to run a bank as a drilling rig?
6425Followed a few moments of desultory conversation, then he put an abrupt question:"Mr. Gray, you''re a rich man, ai n''t you?"
6425For a moment Nelson said nothing; then,"Just what do you mean by that?"
6425For breaking up that affair?"
6425Funny, ai n''t it, how easy reconciled folks is to losin''a coupla prominent citizens like that?
6425Funny, is n''t it?
6425Get out of my office, d''you hear?
6425Gray has been pretty attentive to you, has n''t he?"
6425Gray was a strong man; his emotions, once roused, were probably as wild as hers, therefore who could tell what might happen?
6425Gray?"
6425Gray?"
6425Gray?"
6425Gray?"
6425Gray?"
6425Great place, is n''t it?
6425Had I feared your majestic wrath, do you think I would have arranged for that doctor to see you every day?
6425Has it gone as far as that, Del?"
6425Have a drink, Mr. Gray?
6425Have n''t I--?
6425Have n''t you an hour or two in which to play Fairy Godmother?"
6425Have they got you down?"
6425Have you ever heard of''high- jackers''?
6425Have you got chips enough to match their stack?"
6425Have you no concern regarding the fate of the third member of your treasure- hunting trio?"
6425He closed the sound- proof door before voicing his message, then he began, rapidly:"City editor?
6425He did n''t take it, did he?"
6425He inquired, miserably:"Honest, he ai n''t hurt bad, is he?
6425He is scarcely presentable, while I--""Your side won?"
6425He knocked sharply at the Briskow door and cried,"Baggage ready, ma''am?"
6425He paused and glared at the bearer of bad tidings, then growled:"What are you grinning about?
6425He said you were out, otherwise--""Will you come in?"
6425He stirred uncomfortably, then he broke out, irritably:"Well, well?
6425He wants me to meet these people halfway?"
6425He was debonair and smiling, as always, but there was more than a trace of mockery in his tone as he said:"So your luck has changed, has n''t it?
6425He''d sink a stillson in my head, sure, if--""Parker?
6425He''s pore, eh?
6425Here?
6425Herman Dietz, eh?
6425Honest?"
6425How about you, Doc?"
6425How can I select for her things a bachelor is presumed to know nothing about?
6425How could I pay you if you did go?"
6425How did you get on to it,''Bob''?"
6425How did you meet her?
6425How do you know what I''ve gone through for him; the sacrifices I''ve made?
6425How does_ he_ know what''s the real thing?"
6425How is Buddy?
6425How much have you got?
6425How much money has he?"
6425How much, Gray?
6425How old are you, Ben?"
6425How should you know?
6425How so?"
6425How''s the bank?"
6425How?"
6425I assume you make no objection to the stock transfer?
6425I can do anything I please?"
6425I can feel the eggs under me, but how am I goin''to keep the skunks away when they smell the nest?
6425I do n''t like the look of it, do you?
6425I knew you had the gall of the devil, but-- See here, Gray, do n''t you understand what I can do to you?
6425I let her go, but I''ll get you another--""She quit, eh?"
6425I mean-- her name?"
6425I presume it''s oil that brings you here?"
6425I s''pose her things''ll eat up the best part of a hundred dollars, wo n''t they?"
6425I s''pose you got those rings in that valise?"
6425I saw great things in you, but--""Even when you saw me hoeing in the garden that first day?"
6425I say who can read those secrets, who can harness those forces?
6425I thought, after your Arkansas fiasco, you might wish--""What Arkansas fiasco?"
6425I was in a restaurant with a coupla fellers an''a feller she was with struck her--""Struck her?"
6425I was mighty happy till you came-- You-- got that ring with you?"
6425I was sort of hopin''--""Yes?"
6425I wonder where it comes from?"
6425I''d like that, would n''t you?"
6425I''ve been rotten to her, and now this coming on top of it--""Wha''d that dancin''dude do, anyhow?"
6425If I were so divinely wise, why is my own life what it is?
6425If you wish, I''ll have your rooms changed as soon as--""Have you something better?"
6425In his there was a light of triumph, of mockery, as he said:"A pleasant interview, was n''t it, Colonel?
6425Is he pickin''out women for you like he picks out a dress for me and a hotel for Ma?
6425Is it possible we have been deceived in you?
6425Is it those Nelsons?
6425Is n''t there something, anything we can do for you?"
6425Is that it?
6425Is that it?"
6425Is that it?"
6425Is that what he said?"
6425Is there something you do-- well?"
6425It is double or quits, you understand?
6425It is exciting, is n''t it?
6425It seems to be our lot invariably to differ, does n''t it?
6425It was Bell who broke out, harshly:"_ Stockholders?_ Where did_ you_ get any stock in this bank, I''d like to know?"
6425It was Bell who broke out, harshly:"_ Stockholders?_ Where did_ you_ get any stock in this bank, I''d like to know?"
6425It was handled quietly, with admirable discretion, for those things are bad for the morale, you understand?
6425It was some time later that Gray opened his eyes and spoke in a more natural voice, saying,"How do I happen to be here in your house, Allie?"
6425It''s all right, is it?"
6425Jealous?
6425Just bouncin''a low- down var mint ai n''t offense enough to be throwed out about, when you pay your bills--""You quite misapprehend--""Fired, eh?
6425Kin you wait?"
6425Know where you can get any more?"
6425Mallow spoke huskily,"What the hell you doing here?"
6425May I claim the next dance?"
6425May I inquire the rate?"
6425Mebbe you''ll meet some nice young feller--""He said that, did he?"
6425Miss my pay for the trip?
6425Mr. Gray is a real miracle man, is n''t he?"
6425Mrs. Briskow inquired,"Did you see the skunk?"
6425No use for that now, is there?"
6425No?"
6425Not for worlds, if you know what I mean?
6425Not illness?"
6425Not much, is it?"
6425Nothing strange about that, is there?"
6425Now then, how about you, Mallow?
6425Now, one other question-- how does she happen to be in Dallas?
6425Now, she inquired,"Does she love you?"
6425Now, where is the boy?"
6425Odd that we should have come into competition with each other on my very first undertaking, is n''t it?
6425Of Buddy she inquired:"You do n''t believe that, do you?
6425Of you?
6425Old, eh?
6425One thing was certain, there was no safety except in flight, ignominious, cowardly flight... After all, how could Buddy have known?
6425Only, what''s the use of starving when the world''s full of good things and you''ve got the price to buy them?
6425Opportunity has a fickle way of jilting those who ignore her, and yet-- how could he speak with honor to himself?
6425Or is it Professor Mallow?"
6425Or was it he that would have to give the mortgage to Bell?
6425Perhaps he could appear to be in your employ?
6425Perhaps she was going for a walk and would take him along?
6425Prob''ly it''s well you saw me first, eh?
6425Pull out and leave me, eh?"
6425Putting roses in your cheeks, eh?
6425Ring?"
6425Rob us?
6425S''pose it_ is_ a woman?
6425S''pose she_ is_ after his money?
6425Say, she''s a heller, ai n''t she?
6425Say, wha''d you do with that-- woman?"
6425Say, you''ll stay an''eat supper, wo n''t you?"
6425Seven years bad luck?
6425Sharply, he cried,"What do you mean?"
6425She lets me take her around to places-- trusts me, you understand?
6425She refused to meet them, eh?
6425She uttered a cry of protest; then,"What are you talkin''about?"
6425She would allow him to walk with her-- but lead him to the retreat?
6425She''ll be back soon, I dare say?"
6425She''s the smartest, purtiest girl--""She''s young, eh?"
6425Snappy work, eh?"
6425So long as you''re willing to fight clean, I''ll--""Are you gentlemen going to talk forever?"
6425So, you gave him unlimited money, in spite of my warning?"
6425So-- what can I do for you on his behalf?
6425So?
6425Suspicious?
6425Swell, ai n''t it?"
6425Take that incident at New- town, not long ago; does n''t that prove my contention?"
6425Tell me, Gus, how much money have you got?"
6425Tell me, what are you going to do with me this afternoon?"
6425Tell me, what has become of the ex- jockey husband?"
6425That the case was never pressed, the prosecution dropped?"
6425That was probably because he had tipped them handsomely, but what of that?
6425That''s fair, is n''t it?"
6425That''s it, eh?"
6425That''s supply and demand with the reverse English, ai n''t it?
6425The dealer is entitled to his percentage, ai n''t he?
6425The eminent scientist shrugged; out of the corner of his mouth he murmured:"Why not?
6425The law of supply and demand--""Supply and demand, eh?
6425The men eyed each other steadily for a moment, then Buddy demanded, querulously,"What have you got against her, anyhow?"
6425The point is, can we lay Nelson against a bunch of acreage like that?"
6425The sky is the limit, eh?"
6425The vice- president of the bank murmured something which was lost in Gray''s quick inquiry:"Partner?
6425Then Ma is awake again?"
6425Then when her father had repeated himself, she asked with even greater intensity:"Wha''d he say to that?
6425Then why make you uncomfortable by doubting my word?"
6425Then, after an instant,"Why did he want to see me?"
6425Then, prompted by the girl''s quick resentment, he added, hastily,"--at the right prices?"
6425There was a long silence, then Ma inquired:"Would you like to tell me something about the little princess?
6425There was a pause; then the speaker went on in an altered tone:"D''you suppose she has forgotten all her native accomplishments, Tom?
6425There was a stir among the indignant speculators; the man for whom Stoner was writing a check inquired:"What''s the idea?
6425They began to dance again, and, after a moment, with a gently rising inflection, Delamater murmured,"You heard what I called you?"
6425This is your revenge, eh?"
6425Those men were through with the scoundrel now, and who else could he appeal to, once they abandoned him?
6425Throw you out?
6425To make sure, the waiter inquired:"May I ask if you are in oil, sir?"
6425To- day, I mean?"
6425Too bad you''re not a good jewelry salesman?"
6425Trap her, eh?
6425Was Gray hurt?
6425Was Gray telling the truth?
6425Was it not odd that I failed to appear against you?
6425Was that old man Miss Parker''s father?"
6425Was there no place where one could escape the hateful sight of them?
6425We got ta shut her down easy so she do n''t blow the casing out-- run wild on us, understand?"
6425We managed to get a phone call through to Jackson, but it was--""Jackson?
6425We three are dining downstairs in an hour; perhaps you could look in on us?"
6425We''ve made him that much stronger, have n''t we?
6425Well then,''how come''?"
6425Well, how much do you offer?"
6425Well, when I understood where they was heading, I worried a lot-- after what you said that day, understand?
6425Wha''d you do it for?
6425Wha''d you--?"
6425What are we going to do to- night?"
6425What are you going to do with Bennie?"
6425What are you going to do?"
6425What are you talking about?"
6425What can I do with him?"
6425What can we do for you?"
6425What causes the glowing splendor of the Aurora Borealis?
6425What chance has a girl got against you?
6425What could be Gray''s object in buying acreage adjoining his?
6425What could have happened?
6425What d''you say if we start that meetin''we been talkin''about?
6425What d''you say we close up the ol''factory and take a rest?
6425What d''you say?"
6425What d''you say?"
6425What d''you take me for?
6425What d''you think I am, eh?
6425What d''you think ailed that gunman?
6425What did I tell you?"
6425What difference can it make to you?"
6425What do you intend to do?"
6425What do you say to that?
6425What do you say?"
6425What do you say?"
6425What do you think of her?"
6425What for?"
6425What for?"
6425What force holds the compass needle to the north?
6425What has he done to you?"
6425What has that to do with it?
6425What have you to say for yourself?"
6425What is her name?"
6425What is it?"
6425What is it?"
6425What is on your mind?"
6425What kind of a man are you?
6425What kind of a truce?
6425What makes you think it''s a girl?"
6425What mattered it how these contemptuous outsiders referred to her parents?
6425What next?
6425What right have_ you_ doing a thing like this?
6425What sort?
6425What the hell?
6425What the--?"
6425What time is it?"
6425What to do next?
6425What unit was your son with?"
6425What was the trouble?
6425What you done to that boy, anyhow?"
6425What you going to do about that?"
6425What''ll happen if it catches fire?"
6425What''ll it cost us?"
6425What''s Pa''s judgment worth?
6425What''s happened to him?"
6425What''s he got against you?"
6425What''s money for if you ca n''t buy the one thing you want worst of all?
6425What''s the big idea, anyhow?"
6425What''s the difference if she was a grafter?
6425What''s the explanation?"
6425What''s the idea?
6425What''s the idea?"
6425What''s the joker?
6425What''s your side of the story?
6425What''s your-- your object?"
6425When she saw the light of sanity in his eyes, her face brightened and she cried, eagerly:"You''re coming around all right, are n''t you?"
6425When that child learned the truth, when it heard the laughter and felt the ridicule, what then?
6425When the door had closed behind him McWade inquired:"Now what do you make of that?
6425When the last caller had disappeared, Gray inquired, curiously:"How are you going to make good on your assertion that the stock will rise?"
6425When the object of her appeal only stirred, she went on, reproachfully:"Are you going to allow this-- this man to-- come between us?"
6425When this question evoked no response, the girl inquired, curiously,"Tell me, are you and he such good friends as he says you are?"
6425When?
6425When?"
6425Where are you going?"
6425Where did he get the money to drill?
6425Where did you go?"
6425Where do you suppose she keeps it?"
6425Where had he seen her?
6425Where''s that option?"
6425Where''s"Bob"?"
6425Where?
6425Which are you to believe?
6425Who can explain the principle of magnetic attraction, for instance?
6425Who cares to take me on?"
6425Who ever heard of oil in hard lime?
6425Who ever heard of such a thing?
6425Who fail, except those who try?
6425Who is he?"
6425Who knows?
6425Who knows?"
6425Who the hell would, after that?"
6425Who''s Nelson?"
6425Who, pray, sent in those good things for you to eat?"
6425Why I fought so long?
6425Why act as if the world were a place of gloom and shadow?
6425Why did n''t you_ tell us_--?"
6425Why did n''t"Bob"come, as she had promised?
6425Why had n''t he bought it?
6425Why had she economized on words when every one was precious to him?
6425Why in hell do n''t you say something?"
6425Why not a dollar and a half now?"
6425Why not--?
6425Why not?"
6425Why should n''t they hop, skip, and jump to and from business, if so inclined?
6425Why, you lumbering ox--""Then you ain''t-- in love with me or-- or anything?"
6425Why?"
6425Why?"
6425Why?"
6425Why?"
6425Will you keep me from makin''_ other_ mistakes?"
6425Will you let me handle this matter?"
6425Wistfully she said,"I''m awfully sorry, too, dad--""Eh?"
6425With all his money?
6425With whom did you go?"
6425With your money?
6425With your permission, I''d like to take things in hand and add a hundred per cent to your future comfort?"
6425Wo n''t you accept it?
6425Wo n''t you?"
6425Would a mere statement from me, unsupported by proof, convince you where it failed to convince a court martial?
6425Would n''t that be sweet?
6425Would n''t you like to tie to something solid and be able to show Bennie that you are, at heart, the sort of woman I consider you?
6425Would n''t you_ know_ what they were?"
6425Would you care to work for me?"
6425Would you let_ him_ tell you--?
6425Would you like to hear about her?
6425You ai n''t going to slap anybody''s--""What makes you think I wo n''t?"
6425You ai n''t in earnest about those fairies and things, are you?"
6425You ai n''t laughin''at me?"
6425You blame it on_ him_?"
6425You do n''t believe in luck?
6425You do n''t intend to listen to that sort of stuff?"
6425You do n''t know the woman, eh?"
6425You do n''t think Henry could be lying?"
6425You got him, did n''t you?
6425You had no backing whatever, no--""Is that the result of your own investigation?"
6425You know I''ve been married; does it make so much difference that I have a son?"
6425You know me; I would n''t be a party to a crooked deal, not for anything, except to help you out--""How much?"
6425You mean to say Mister Gray''ai n''t got no money?"
6425You prefer to stand?
6425You remember the drill stems were standing over in one corner?
6425You said you represented big capital; had friends and connections--""A pardonable deceit, under the circumstances, was it not?
6425You say you paid high for your stock; do you intend to wreck the institution, lose a fortune--?"
6425You think it''s all right for me to do it?"
6425You understand?
6425You want yours, eh?
6425You would n''t do_ that?_ For_ me?_ Lemme go.
6425You would n''t do_ that?_ For_ me?_ Lemme go.
6425You''re bursting with information, are n''t you?"
6425You''re dying to show them to me, are n''t you?"
6425You''ve been cleaning up, have n''t you?"
6425You-- Calvin Gray, the financier, peddling jewelry?
6425_ Give_ it to him?
6425_ Like_ him?
6425_ Passion!_ What the hell does he know about passion?
6425_ You_?
35587A brain fever upon him-- delirious?
35587A brother, I suppose? 35587 A coquette, I suppose?"
35587A glass of whisky and water, if you please?
35587A hossback?
35587A letter carrier, you think? 35587 A mustang trap?"
35587A mustanger?
35587A separation?
35587A shot?
35587A slight service, you call it? 35587 A troop of their_ rangers_ scouring the country for Comanches, I suppose?
35587A young lady?
35587About Loo? 35587 About what?"
35587Accepted, do you suppose?
35587Admire them? 35587 After that?"
35587After what, Mr Stump?
35587Ah-- why? 35587 Ai n''t thar though?"
35587Ai n''t ye riddy, surgint?
35587Ai n''t yur master inside, too? 35587 Alone?
35587Alone?
35587Am I dead, or living?
35587Am I too old? 35587 Among trees, and picturesque?"
35587An American lady!--out here? 35587 An American lady?"
35587An Indian trick?
35587An''what shed I mean?
35587An''yur young Master Henry-- air he gone too?
35587And Wild Cat himself-- what of him?
35587And could you have done it sooner?
35587And has been very kind to Mr Maurice Gerald?
35587And has n''t he done murder?
35587And if I had, what would it have mattered? 35587 And if there_ was_ a quarrel,"argued the officer of infantry,"what then?
35587And the body, too; where can_ it_ be?
35587And the money with which you paid him?
35587And the woman?
35587And to stay there?
35587And what for a signal?
35587And what of that? 35587 And who do you suppose_ he_ is?"
35587And why not now, uncle?
35587And why not, Mr Stump? 35587 And why not?
35587And why not?
35587And why, major?
35587And you are now the most skilled in all Texas?
35587And you have?
35587And you, sir? 35587 And you, sir?"
35587And-- and-- Henry?
35587Anyhow; who the devil could find his way out of an ashpit like this? 35587 Are you speaking the truth, sir?
35587Are you sure, Mr Gerald, that your modesty is not prompting_ you_ to overrate your rivals? 35587 Are you sure?"
35587Are your mules doing their best?
35587Aristocracy?
35587Arrah, now, how could I be mistaken?
35587Asleep?
35587At your orders, s''norita?
35587At your orders, s''norita?
35587Beside himself?
35587Besides, his own shindy with the same man is suggestive of suspicion-- is it not?
35587Besides, why had the head been cut off? 35587 Bitten you, you say-- where?"
35587Burn my throat, ye say? 35587 But are you sure you can sit her over it?"
35587But before your brother came upon the ground, was there not some one else in your company?
35587But fwhat diz it all mane?
35587But how, and why? 35587 But how-- when-- you''ve not told me?"
35587But how?
35587But much prettier, of course? 35587 But the mowstanger?
35587But to- day-- when you left-- was there any fresh news in the Settlement? 35587 But whar''s he now?
35587But what did they have a difficulty about?
35587But what is it?
35587But what then? 35587 But what''s cut the hole in the door, an why''s the tother broken out at the back?
35587But what_ does_ it mean? 35587 But where did you see this, Mr O''Neal?"
35587But where is he?
35587But which woman, I wonder? 35587 But who could have betrayed us?
35587But who could have fired it? 35587 But who?--what others?"
35587But whom?
35587But why should the stranger have deceived us?
35587But why, senor? 35587 But why, sir?"
35587But you are sure, sir, he is not badly injured? 35587 But your father?
35587But, Captain Calhoun,protested the overseer, in response to the gentleman who had reproached him in such chaste terms;"how air we to find the way?"
35587But, Cassius: if we should lose our way?
35587But, Miss Poindexter,stammered the guide, still doubting the powers of the spotted mustang,"suppose she can not?
35587But, Misther Stump, did n''t yez till me to do it? 35587 But, Mr Gerald; why should we not ride off at once, in the opposite direction?"
35587But, senor; surely I can see him?
35587But,said he, after a speechless pause,"you do n''t mean to say that you could have controlled-- that the mustang was not running away with you?
35587But-- but, how came_ you_ to be here?
35587By what authority do you command me? 35587 By whom fired, do you think?"
35587By whom?
35587Can you speak French, mademoiselle?
35587Can_ you_ tell us, miss?
35587Come, Zeb; what''s the use of talking about my going back by myself? 35587 Cyan_ you_ give them, Misther Cashius Calhoun?"
35587Dan Marryshow, yez say? 35587 Dead?"
35587Did n''t I see Masther Maurice, as plain as I see yourself at this minnit? 35587 Did n''t yez heear somethin''?
35587Did you follow us any farther?
35587Did you know the man?
35587Did you notice Calhoun as he came back?
35587Did you notice whether repeated strokes had been given? 35587 Did_ you_ leap it?"
35587Div yez think they waren''t Indyins, afther all?
35587Div yez? 35587 Do n''t ye see that the shod tracks air kivered by them o''the maars?
35587Do you intend us to start now?
35587Do you mean this, Maurice Gerald? 35587 Do you remember her name?"
35587Do you suppose it likely that there''s one of them would condescend to speak to the person you''ve named?
35587Do you think it''s an Indian in disguise?
35587Do you think she can do it?
35587Do you wish me, Maurice?
35587Does n''t that bate Banagher?
35587Dreaming, or awake? 35587 Durn it, then, who ked a tuk him out?
35587Durn you, nigger, do n''t ye remember me? 35587 Except the mansion?"
35587Except the-- the--"Exceptin''the man- wuman, ye mane?
35587Fwhare''s the tother-- the young chap, or lady, or wuman-- whichsomiver she art? 35587 Fwhat is it, Gertrude?"
35587Fwhat rayzun? 35587 Going out for a ride, Louise?"
35587Good day, Miss Poindexter?
35587Had we not better silence_ him_?
35587Had you any suspicion why, or by whom, the foul deed had been done?
35587Hain''t I, though?
35587Have I done so?
35587Have they any other weapons?
35587Have you come direct from there?
35587Have you met, or seen, any one, miss-- out here, I mean?
35587He did look rather unhappy,replied the major;"but surely, Captain Sloman, you do n''t attribute it to--?"
35587He has been here, then?
35587He has recovered from his wounds?
35587He is ill? 35587 He may be dangerously wounded-- perhaps even to death?"
35587He moutn''t have the mateerils riddy? 35587 He must be dead not to have heard us?"
35587He''s coming this way, is he not?
35587His horse at the gate? 35587 His name?"
35587How are we to get him back? 35587 How can you tell that?"
35587How could I help it?
35587How do you know they have escaped it?
35587How is Phaylum Onale to know that? 35587 How long ago was that?"
35587How long have I been lying here? 35587 How long?
35587How long?
35587How should I know, cousin Cash? 35587 How should I know?"
35587How was that?
35587How, sir?
35587I hope, sir, you will favour us with your name?
35587I ought to have asked him his name?
35587I suppose you are determined upon fighting?
35587I wonder if I could ever learn to fling it?
35587I wonder if coaxing would do any good?
35587I wonder what puts such nonsense into my head?
35587I wonder who''s brought the beast here?
35587I wonder,muttered he, on re- entering the_ patio_,"whether the blubbering baby be in earnest?
35587I? 35587 If I killed her, what would it avail?
35587If a contrivance, why and to what end? 35587 If the lady be as attractive as you say, I suppose we''ll have Captain Cassius out here also, before long?"
35587Impossible?
35587In that case, ye know whar ye air?
35587In what way can it concern you, Don Miguel Diaz?
35587In what way?
35587In your opinion, was the shot sufficient to have caused death, without the mutilation that, you think, must have been done afterwards?
35587Is he asleep?
35587Is he at home? 35587 Is it modesty?"
35587Is that renegade Indian to be trusted, who appears to be as much an enemy to the whites as to the people of his own race?
35587Is that the danger of which you have been speaking?
35587Is that why the guards have been doubled? 35587 Is the major sure of the Indians being up?
35587Is there a danger?
35587Is there no chance of escape?
35587Is there no chance of shaking him off? 35587 Isidora?"
35587It appears to be a man? 35587 It frightened the others off, you think, and they followed no further?"
35587It might be somebody I would n''t care to encounter? 35587 It might be-- who knows?"
35587It mout be a man?
35587It was the same, then, who visited the jacale at night-- the same Phalim saw?
35587It will kill me, if I stay here?
35587It_ should_ be somethin''of that kind: for what else_ can_ it be? 35587 Judging by your frankness, Miss Poindexter, you will not refuse to inform the Court who that person was?"
35587Kicked?
35587Let me hear it? 35587 Let me look at that card, Henry?"
35587Like?--like?
35587Louises what means this? 35587 Mass Poindex''er, sar?
35587Mass''Tump, you it hab mix wif water?
35587May I ask if this meeting was accidental, or by appointment?
35587May I ask the name of the individual?
35587May I ask where you live?
35587May I ask, if on that night you went into the garden?
35587Maybe the sound of a man''s voice would bring the animal to a stand? 35587 Me pay?"
35587Monongahela? 35587 Mr Poindexter, you mean?"
35587My horse?
35587Na, now; you know what dis chile mean?
35587Name? 35587 Need I tell you that I took that hand?
35587Neither of you can object?
35587No use waiting for that beauty to go to bed? 35587 No, kan''t ye?
35587Now dear old Zeb, you will take this to Mr Gerald? 35587 O''what night air ye palaverin'', Plute?"
35587Odd he should always make back there?
35587Of her, and him? 35587 Of what young fellow do you speak?"
35587Of what, sir?
35587Of whom are you speaking?
35587Of whom do you speak? 35587 Oh, Mr Zebulon Stump, is it you?"
35587Oh; some vaqueros have seen it?
35587On foot, Mr Stump, as usual?
35587On horseback, then?
35587On second thoughts-- perhaps-- better not have him taken? 35587 On the Rio Grande, senor?"
35587On what charge?
35587On your hospitality, perhaps? 35587 Only Phelim you expect to meet?
35587Or is this man mocking me? 35587 Part of it there was some one with you?"
35587Perhaps he is not well waited upon? 35587 Perhaps you are anxious to get back to your party?"
35587Perhaps you will be good enough to inform the Court at what hour?
35587Perhaps,said he,"I might manage to hobble a bit, if I only had a crutch?
35587Poindexter?
35587Prandy und pitters, you calls for, Mishter Calhoun?
35587Prom whom?
35587Ready for what?
35587Save you from what?
35587She''s outside, you say? 35587 Should we not be trespassing on the patience of your people?"
35587Sign?
35587Size?
35587So soon? 35587 Some decoy to draw us into an ambuscade?"
35587Some other danger? 35587 Standing solitary?"
35587Surely I can see him?
35587Surely he is not abed till this hour? 35587 Surely it ca n''t be that?
35587Surely you are jesting, Mr Stump?
35587Surely,said Poindexter, after making an examination of the captured mustang,"this must be the animal of which old Zeb Stump has been telling me?"
35587Tell me, dear Zeb,said she, after directing her maid to withdraw,"why have they arrested this Mexican-- Miguel Diaz I mean?
35587The Lafourche ball? 35587 The aristocratic father, then?
35587The colour?
35587The other?
35587The other?
35587The others?
35587The same? 35587 Then you think the fellow may have killed Poindexter in a fair fight?"
35587Then you''ve come from his place, direct? 35587 Then, no doubt, you have heard that there has been a-- murder-- committed?"
35587There can be no harm in our seeing how the_ Irlandes_ has housed himself out here?
35587There have been Indians, then?
35587There was a reconciliation, then?
35587There''s too many of them fellows coming after-- some that can track, too? 35587 They appear to have made a circuit, and come round again?"
35587They may have crossed at some other place, and continued the pursuit?
35587Three or four mile? 35587 Thur air sommeat amiss?
35587Thur''s jest a posserbillity the skunk mout sneak out i''the night?
35587To whom does it belong-- this_ jacale_?
35587To whom?
35587Trath, yez may;--but how Misther Stump? 35587 Two-- who were they?"
35587Unpleasant news, papa?
35587Upon what?
35587Wal, ye see thet ere prickly cacktis plant growin''cloast to the edge o''the openin''?
35587Wal-- don''t ye see they air kivered wi''them o''the mowstanger''s hoss?
35587Wal; do you remember ever to hev seed it afore? 35587 Was he still in the same temper?
35587Was it a clean out-- as if done by a sharp- edged weapon?
35587Was it she who has done this?
35587Was there a snake at all?
35587Waterspouts?
35587We had better go inside, and make sure?
35587We keep our distance, do n''t we?
35587Well, Spangler, my good fellow; what do you make of it?
35587Well, that-- some of the boys here think there''s been a struggle between him and--"Atween him an who?
35587Well; since you think me so worthless, it wo n''t, I suppose, better your opinion of me, when I tell you what I''m going to do with you?
35587Were you alone?
35587Wha night? 35587 Whar?"
35587What am I to do? 35587 What are we to do?"
35587What are we to do?
35587What are we to do?
35587What can it mean?
35587What can papa have heard? 35587 What can the major have written to him?
35587What can the man be after?
35587What can the masther mane? 35587 What d''ye call this?"
35587What did you do, after making the observations you have described?
35587What did you hear, Mr Calhoun?
35587What div I mane? 35587 What do the fellows mean by their gibberish?"
35587What do ye call this?
35587What do you mean by that?
35587What do you mean, Mr Stump?
35587What do you mean, girl?
35587What do you want, Pluto?
35587What does it all mean?
35587What dress?
35587What durned tom- foolery''s this, boys?
35587What evidence of the generosity you are so good as to ascribe to me?
35587What facts?
35587What fear of them? 35587 What fellur air ye talkin''o''?
35587What game?
35587What have I done? 35587 What have you done with it, sirrah?"
35587What have you seen, that you talk so loudly?
35587What hev ye been hearin''?
35587What hoss?
35587What if I lose sight of her? 35587 What insinuation, sir?"
35587What is causing the commotion?
35587What is it for?
35587What is it, Cash?
35587What is it, Crespino?
35587What is it, Loo?
35587What is it, Mr Sansom?
35587What is it, Pheelum? 35587 What is it, anyhow?"
35587What is it, father?
35587What is it, you confounded fellow?
35587What is it?
35587What is it?
35587What is it?
35587What is it?
35587What is it?
35587What is that? 35587 What is the woman going to do?"
35587What is to be done?
35587What makes her a_ maar_? 35587 What makes ye think he travelled two hunder mile?"
35587What man? 35587 What mattered that?
35587What matters it, if we know he''s guilty? 35587 What matters that?
35587What mean you, Cash?
35587What means this, Don Miguel Diaz?
35587What means this?
35587What means those things I''ve heard-- myself seen? 35587 What news?"
35587What of all that?
35587What of yourself?
35587What proof have you of what you say? 35587 What proof?"
35587What reason did he give for saying that I should pay? 35587 What reason have you to think they were Mexicans?"
35587What sort of a lady?
35587What sort of weapon would you say?
35587What sum?
35587What the deuce is the matter with your heels-- to- day of all others? 35587 What the devil are you talking about?
35587What the devil can that mean?
35587What the devil has got into you, Phelim? 35587 What then?"
35587What varmints, Misther Stump? 35587 What war it?"
35587What would you do for_ him_?
35587What young fellow?
35587What''s a pity?
35587What''s been a doin''hyur? 35587 What''s that you''ve been saying?
35587What''s the use, Sam Manly? 35587 What''s to be did?
35587What''s to be done? 35587 What''s up anyhow?
35587What''s your explanation, Mr Stump?
35587What, then?
35587What?
35587What_ do_ you make of it, gentlemen?
35587What_ kin_ it be?
35587When is it to take place?
35587Where are you going?
35587Where can the boy be?
35587Where did it take place?
35587Where did you meet the lady you speak of?
35587Where is he?
35587Where is it? 35587 Where is my horse?"
35587Where is she?
35587Where is the horse? 35587 Where were you, Miss Poindexter, on the night when your brother was last seen?"
35587Where, Henry-- where?
35587Where? 35587 Where?"
35587Where?
35587Whet sort o''a mustang?
35587Which on''em shed I foller fust? 35587 Which way was she going?
35587Which? 35587 Who can that woman be?"
35587Who cares whether Mr Cassius Calhoun be a dangerous man, or a harmless one? 35587 Who could have helped liking him?
35587Who did you then think it might be?
35587Who does the shoein''o''yur cattle? 35587 Who ever heard of Comanches playing cards?"
35587Who had him out thet night?
35587Who has been heeur?
35587Who has been here since then?
35587Who knows but the cause of quarrel-- if there''s been one-- might not be this splendid senorita so much talked about? 35587 Who knows?"
35587Who then ked it be; unless it war the owner o''the hoss hisself? 35587 Who wants me?"
35587Who war it, then? 35587 Who''s inside the shanty?"
35587Who''s insoide? 35587 Who, then, is the black beast, or what is it-- if not a human?"
35587Who? 35587 Who?
35587Who?
35587Who?
35587Who?
35587Who_ can_ she be?
35587Whose do you think it is, Spangler?
35587Why can I not?
35587Why cyant yez not? 35587 Why do n''t ye stan''still?
35587Why do ye weesh that? 35587 Why do you ask that, Loo?
35587Why do you ask the question, Louise?
35587Why do you think so, papa? 35587 Why do you think that?"
35587Why have you brought it forth?
35587Why have you thus armed yourself?
35587Why not?
35587Why should I not do the same with the body of Henry Poindexter? 35587 Why should I?
35587Why should I? 35587 Why the hell do n''t you haul?"
35587Why you be go''way in dat big hurry? 35587 Why, Major Ringwood?

35587Wind, sir? 35587 With you on her back?"
35587Without seeing his face?
35587Wo n''t yez wait betther afther tastin''a dhrap av the crayther?
35587Wonder now what thet''s for?
35587Wonder what sort it air, slickerin''aboout hyur at this time o''the night? 35587 Worse than a snake?"

35587Yes; how was she dressed?
35587Yez be goin''there, masther Maurice? 35587 Yez do n''t?
35587You admire these wild scenes, Miss Poindexter?
35587You appear impatient to go forward? 35587 You are jesting, Don Miguel?"
35587You are perhaps not aware, Mr Stump,rejoins the Regulator Chief, in a calm voice,"of what we''ve just been hearing?"
35587You are sure he is dead, then?
35587You are sure of it?
35587You changed your mind about its being Indians?
35587You do n''t know her? 35587 You do n''t suppose they leaped it?"
35587You do n''t tink, Pluto, he been gone kill Massa Henry?
35587You expect to be pursued?
35587You hain''t seed nuthin''o''the young lady, hev ye, Mister Calhoun?
35587You have been to his room?
35587You have one?
35587You know my reasons, nephew?
35587You know the old hacienda has a flat roof, I suppose? 35587 You know the spot of open ground at the top of the hill-- where the three roads meet?"
35587You mean the place where some blood was found?
35587You mean the storm of that name?
35587You mean to say my daughter has been here?
35587You meant--?
35587You must ha''been dreemin?
35587You never hunt on horseback, I believe?
35587You promise it?
35587You said you could easily do it, if there was any Indian trouble going on?
35587You saw me, then?
35587You saw the body?
35587You saw the chase then?
35587You say none ob dem gen''l''m you care for? 35587 You see that, major?"
35587You see, gentlemen, the ball is still in the animal''s body? 35587 You think that he and my cousin crossed here together?"
35587You think you might discover some traces?
35587You think, with my hair upon your head, you would be invincible among the men?
35587You use it with great skill? 35587 You wanted to be alone?"
35587You will not marry me then?
35587You will not refuse me now?
35587You wish me to speak further?
35587You''ll admit,rejoined Crossman, of the Rifles,"that the circumstances are strong against him?
35587You''ll have something to eat? 35587 You''re not afraid, ai n''t you?"
35587You''ve lost the way, Cash?
35587You''ve lost the way, nephew?
35587You, major?
35587You,_ alannah_? 35587 You?"
35587You?
35587You_ air_ in a hurry? 35587 Your father may be alarmed by your long absence?
35587Your fellow tenant of the jacale might not like being intruded upon by visitors-- more especially a stranger?
35587Your foster- brother?
35587Yur good to keep a seecret, Maje? 35587 _ Have you anything to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon you_?"
35587_ Is_ it the masther? 35587 _ Quien sabe_?"
35587_ Quien sabe_?
35587_ Quien sale_? 35587 _ Si, senor-- si_--yes, of Don Mauricio Zyerral, this the-- house?"
35587` Yis''again? 35587 ''Tain''t so durnation eezy to kill turkey gobbler arter sun- up, wi''a clamjamferry like this comin''clost upon a fellur''s heels? 35587 ''Tis the third time I''ve seen her passing within this week? 35587 ''Twas a trick got up to try us!--perhaps himself in sight, a witness of our disgraceful flight? 35587 ''tain''t Mass''Tump--''t use to fotch de ven''son an de turkey gobbla to de ole plantashun? 35587 A real rude hut, you say?
35587A simple promise would scarce be sufficient in a crisis like that?
35587A solicitude like that shown for him by the Mexican senora, could scarce spring from simple friendship?
35587A thief?"
35587After all he might have been misinformed?
35587After all, what can Zeb Stump say, or do?
35587After that, where should the assassins be sought for?
35587Ah, then; what would life be to me?
35587Air ye in airnest, nigger?"
35587Alone?"
35587Am I right, senora?
35587Am I to be turned adrift upon the prairie, or shut up in a convent?
35587Am I to take it as a type of this still untraced destiny?"
35587Am I to tell the old gentleman what I think o''t?"
35587Am I to tell_ him_?"
35587An fwhat''s afther them?
35587An fwhere is she now?"
35587An unexpected sight: who could have looked for human being in such a place?
35587An''fwhat div yez think I''ve heerd Owld Duffer talkin''about below?"
35587An''now, as ye know it, what air to hinder you from ridin''past it agin; and follering the trail o''the maars back''ard?
35587An''supposin''I wuz to say yis, fwhat ud yez be afther wantin''wid him?"
35587An''where cyan the masther be, if it was n''t him?
35587An''why air the big gate shet an barred-- in the middle o''breakfist time?
35587An''why shed he have dud it?
35587An''yit, who knows?
35587And after all, there may be nothing to be known?
35587And did n''t he forget to take it?
35587And the woman-- this Mexican-- Isidora?
35587And then what must follow?
35587And then-- what then?
35587And this you call justice?
35587And were you able to tell by that?"
35587And where, and when, did you hear it?"
35587And where, may I ask?"
35587And who could this man be?
35587And why not?"
35587And why should she have interposed to save him-- him, the murderer of my son-- her own brother?
35587And why this?"
35587And why was she riding at such a perilous pace?
35587And why, pray, do you grieve about that?"
35587And why?
35587And will God permit this red- handed ruffian to escape?
35587Another letter?"
35587Anywhere near where we''ve been to- day?"
35587Are his wounds of a dangerous nature?"
35587Are not the Comanches_ en paz_ at present?
35587Are they still continuing on?
35587Are they to be pursued?
35587Are ye ready?"
35587Are ye riddy?"
35587Are you desirous of hearing them?"
35587Arrah now me honey; fwhat ud be the use av consalin''it?
35587Arrah, now, fhwat''s the use av yer stayin''here, wastin''the best part av yer days in doin''nothin''?
35587Arrah, now;_ you_ would n''t be afther havin''a little flask upon yer sweet silf?
35587At this hour?
35587At this season they herd together, and keep apart from the horses; unless when--""When what?"
35587Av coorse they hav, else fwhy is it not in its place?
35587Being up there, how could I avoid seeing you as you passed-- that is, so long as you were not under_ the shade of the acacias_?"
35587Besides fwhat ud be the use?
35587Besides, it wudn''t be raal honest av me to take it widout lave-- wud it, Tara?"
35587Besides, what can I say myself-- the only witness?
35587But did you follow them to-- to-- how far did you follow them?"
35587But did you say you have heard of the animal-- I mean since you left us?"
35587But how did you know of this place?
35587But if he_ should_ come at that time,_ you_ detain him-- won''t you?"
35587But tell me what has caused it?
35587But the man-- the rider?
35587But the man-- what was he doing?
35587But the mare?
35587But to what end?
35587But to what purpose?
35587But true: I think I''ve heard you say you prefer that sort of thing?"
35587But what could that thing have meant?
35587But what of that?
35587But what signify ten miles?
35587But what were you going to say?
35587But what would you have me do?"
35587But when?
35587But who air the young gen''leman yur speakin''o''?
35587But who could have done it?
35587But who do ye_ think_ it war?
35587But who is the lucky individual who accomplished the capture?"
35587But why is Louise Poindexter there-- alone-- unaccompanied by white or black, by relative or slave?
35587But why is he still absent?
35587But why shed it temp him to the killin''o''her brother?
35587But why should Henry Poindexter have been excited too?
35587But your mount?
35587But, Miss Poindexter, may I ask how you knew that I have been this way at all?"
35587By keeping to the former, he might find out much; but by changing to the latter he might learn more?
35587By my faith, I''m in a serious scrape?
35587By whom?"
35587Can I?"
35587Can any one have told him?
35587Can any one suggest what it is to be?"
35587Can it be that she is taken?
35587Can it be the red- skinned marauders?
35587Can it be, that she has been overtaken and captured?
35587Can the charge be true?
35587Can we do nothing to avoid it?"
35587Can we do so?"
35587Can you explain, Louise?"
35587Clinging to her tail?
35587Could it be Louise Poindexter?
35587Could it be the young Creole-- the cousin of his direst enemy as well as his reputed sweetheart?
35587Could the lady have ridden out to meet him, or Maurice gone in?
35587Could there be a doubt of it?
35587D''you s''pose any man o''sense believes in sech varmint as them?
35587Dan Marryshow?
35587Daylight?
35587De ole massr, or de young''un?"
35587Dear Zeb, you promise me?"
35587Did I not tell you to go home?
35587Did any one know where the horse- hunter had his home?
35587Did he tell ye o''nothin''else he seed hyur?"
35587Did he wish to show his zeal by going alone?
35587Did n''t I cut the pisen out, soon''s I killed the critter, by cuttin''off o''its head?"
35587Did n''t I fill it for Masther Maurice to take wid him the last time he went to the sittlements?
35587Did n''t I tell yez there was another snake?
35587Did n''t yez save her life into the bargain?"
35587Did n''t yez see nothin''av a wuman, Miss Pointdixther?"
35587Did some one say, name?
35587Did you ever see anything so beautiful as she is, Phelim-- I mean in the way of horseflesh?"
35587Did you hear him state any?"
35587Did you?"
35587Did your vaqueros get close enough to know what it was?"
35587Div yez mane a rattle- snake?"
35587Div yez mane is for the same now?
35587Div yez mane that it''s dangerous?"
35587Do n''t I till ye that the masther''s in bid?"
35587Do n''t ye see them thur bruises on the grass?"
35587Do n''t ye see thur toe- marks, both on this side an the t''other?
35587Do n''t yez think so, Tara?"
35587Do n''t yez, misthress?"
35587Do n''t you see a coal- black cloud spreading over the sky?
35587Do n''t you think so, Miss Poindexter?"
35587Do not tell me that he is ill?"
35587Do you expect to meet any one there?"
35587Do you know if she has often visited him?"
35587Do you know that we''ve been chased by a drove of wild steeds, and had actually to ride for our lives?"
35587Do you mean it?"
35587Do you mean to say that the despatch- rider-- if he be one-- is leading us into-- into an ambuscade?"
35587Do you not know me?
35587Do you see anything there?"
35587Do you speak the truth,_ nor capitan_?"
35587Do you think she can carry you over--""Over what, sir?"
35587Do you wish me to intercede, and make up your quarrel with Pluto?"
35587Do you?"
35587Does he knew that we have met?"
35587Drunk, or dreaming?
35587Entiende, V_?"
35587Even if going in the direction of the doubtful streamlet, he might never succeed in reaching it?
35587Even if he should not succeed in concealing himself within the thicket, who is there to overtake him?
35587Father of fifty years old, why reason in this foolish fashion?
35587Fetch them to your feet?
35587Fetch whom?"
35587Fo what you ask, Mass Tump?"
35587For the latter, who ever really loved that cared a straw for class, or caste?
35587For what div yez want me to do that?"
35587For what do you ask forgiveness?"
35587For what purpose?
35587For what reason should the young fellow be leading us astray?"
35587For what reason?"
35587For what reezun?
35587For what, nephew?"
35587For what?"
35587For what?"
35587Freshly killed, he appears?
35587Further proofs?"
35587Fust place what do ye make o''the young fellur bein''wownded hisself?
35587Ghost it could not be; flesh and bones I grasped myself; so did Vicente on the other side?
35587Go to slape agane?
35587Gone, yez say?
35587Gratitude do n''t get out of its bed in the middle of the night-- to keep appointments at the bottom of a garden?
35587Grief-- fear-- jealousy-- what must be the state of the soul in which these emotions are co- existent?
35587Had he been only restrained by the presence of his sister from attacking me?
35587Had she grown fonder of the society of her Texan relatives-- fonder as they grew older?
35587Had they killed one another?
35587Hain''t ye seed thet afore, ye greenhorn?
35587Hain''t yo forgot to fetch yur head wi ye?"
35587Has any one else been to this place?"
35587Has he taken advantage of your-- your-- unfortunate passion?"
35587Has it bitten him?"
35587Has it left any, I wonder?"
35587Has met with some misfortune?
35587Has she who addressed it succumbed to the pursuer?
35587Has some other had the offer, and earned the thousand dollars?
35587Has the whole day been a dream?
35587Has there been a quarrel with any one?"
35587Have I spoken like one who jests?"
35587Have a little sugar, or honey, along with it?"
35587Have n''t you met a woman astride a grey horse?"
35587Have you any names here?
35587Have you ever been in a hunting- field, at home, with riding habits trailing the sward, and plumed hats proudly nodding around you?
35587Have you got any?"
35587Have you heard anything of the pretty creature?"
35587Have you heard anything, miss?"
35587Have you made any discovery in this queer affair?
35587Have you nothing more to communicate?"
35587Have you seen a ghost?"
35587Have_ you_ a house?"
35587He could not be sure of their not burning his fingers-- those queer cards?
35587He is riding at the rate of twenty to the hour; and in half an hour he may find shelter in the chapparal?
35587He looks as if you had been riding a long race-- like ourselves?"
35587He may be in some poor place-- perhaps uncourteously treated-- perhaps neglected?
35587He may have ridden out again?
35587He may not come?
35587He may not have any delicacies-- such as an invalid stands in need of?
35587He might capture the Headless Horseman, and ascertain from_ him_ the why and wherefore of his wild wanderings?
35587He might not be going in the right direction?
35587He rud out somewhar, and the hoss kim back''ithout him?
35587He s a snake bit ye?"
35587He saw me in company with-- Can it be that?
35587He sed, that his life moight depend upon it?
35587He sees them; but what of that?
35587He''s at home, ai n''t he?"
35587He''s near enough for your_ escopette_, is he not?"
35587He''s only the girl''s cousin, you say?"
35587He_ is_ in earnest, else why that row in the stable?
35587He_ may_ be in his room?
35587Henry thrown from his horse?
35587Her beauty may have lost some of its bloom?"
35587Her father-- can he?
35587Her name is--""Is?"
35587Here goes?"
35587Hev they gone that way agin?"
35587His case might not be so hopeless?
35587His fingers were fearfully lacerated in the act; but what mattered that, when weighed against the life of his beloved master?
35587His head cut off?"
35587His rival will soon be no more; but what matters it?
35587His wounds-- they are not dangerous?"
35587His''n I serpose?
35587Hiv yez any about ye?"
35587How air it to be done?
35587How am I to git his feet up?"
35587How am I to lit yez know, if you''re beyant hearin''av me voice?
35587How are they to find their way?
35587How are we to live, if the gun goes?"
35587How came I into it?
35587How came the cousin of Louise Poindexter to be astir at that late hour of the night, or, as it was now, the earliest of the morning?
35587How come you to be here?
35587How could I have remained in ignorance of it?
35587How could it be otherwise, with such a sorrow at her heart?
35587How do you live?
35587How fur d''ye reck''n?"
35587How had El Coyote got hold of it?
35587How is he?
35587How is she to know that their intent is not hostile?
35587How long do it take him to put on a kupple?"
35587How long since I saw it first?
35587How long was it to continue?
35587How long''s it since he shod any o''yourn?"
35587How much did Don Miguel pay you for your treason?"
35587How on earth can you know all that?"
35587How shall I explain it?
35587How the hell could they have come into the possession of the other?"
35587How then should he have prepared such an infernal surprise?
35587How thin?"
35587How was it to terminate?
35587How was the engagement to be given?
35587How, Zeb?"
35587How, Zeb?"
35587How?
35587How?"
35587I can speak to you in Spanish, if you prefer it; but I dare say you will understand me better in English: which, I presume, is your native tongue?"
35587I do n''t see him nowhar''beout the premises; an I reck''n he ai n''t rud out, seein''as the sorrel''s hyur?"
35587I fear you are taking leave of your senses, or have left them behind you in Louisiana?
35587I have no longer a son?"
35587I hope there''s nothing--""The matther wid him, yez wur goin''to say?
35587I hope they hain''t--""Have n''t what?"
35587I hope thur hain''t nuthin''gone astray?"
35587I know not how I shall ever be able to reciprocate your kindness?"
35587I know the worthless wretch that''s driven you to this denial--""Who?"
35587I liked him from the first-- you know I did?
35587I mean it-- before this time_ to- morrow_, you shall stand in the witness- box?"
35587I must have been aslape, an dhramin?
35587I never told you I did-- did I?"
35587I presume I have guessed aright: you meant the Indians?"
35587I reckon we can cross a piece of scorched prairie, without wheel- marks to guide us?
35587I said brown sherry, did n''t I?"
35587I suppose a man must n''t fight, however much aggrieved, without first obtaining a licence from Major Ringwood?
35587I suppose the horse has his head upon him?
35587I suppose there is a question about that?"
35587I suppose we can travel over a black prairie, as safely as a green one?
35587I suppose you understand me?"
35587I think I saw a jar inside, that''s intended to go?"
35587I think you said you would prefer whisky?"
35587I was beginning to be alarmed about--""About what, sir?"
35587I wonder if he hev left any o''the licker?
35587I wonder what has become of Zeb Stump?"
35587I wondher now if them Indyins has come acrass av the dimmyjan?
35587I''ve been told that the Mexicans commence almost in childhood; that that is why they attain to such wonderful skill?"
35587If I kill him?
35587If he could but overhear what they were saying?
35587If it be he, why should he be going that way?"
35587If not she, who else could it be?
35587If not, what was her motive?
35587If not, what was it?
35587If she has caused humiliation to the woman she hates, along with it she may have brought ruin upon the man whom she loves?
35587If the former, was Don Silvio aware of it?
35587If the latter, was he at home-- an approving party to the assignation?
35587If there has, owld dog, fwhat''ud become av you an me?
35587If there was that--""You have not heard the news, then?"
35587If there''s anything asthray wid me imaginashun, fhwat is it that''s gone wrong wid your own?
35587If these_ men_--_Los Reguladores_--the dreaded judges I''ve heard of-- if they should find him guilty, where may it end?
35587If you have any doubts, had you not better abandon her?
35587In all likelihood it stayed not where it was sent, but was lost in the secret recesses of the chapparal?
35587In coorse he hated yur cousin Cash-- an who does n''t, I shed like to know?
35587In doubt she advanced to address him:"I may have made a mistake?"
35587In either case, it might be days before he could use the limb; and what, meanwhile, was he to do?
35587In fact I did so: you saw it?"
35587In other words, was he an eavesdropper by accident, or a spy acting upon information previously communicated to him?
35587In the strife, whose sounds had indistinctly reached her, there may have been a third party-- Maurice Gerald?
35587In what direction?
35587In what way?"
35587Indians?
35587Into the corral, wid the others?"
35587Is he about to unburden his conscience of the weight that must be on it?
35587Is he at home?
35587Is he dead, or is it a_ ruse_ to get me near?
35587Is he inside?"
35587Is it a Mexican word?
35587Is it but his suspicions?
35587Is it fear?
35587Is it from training; or does a horse run faster when ridden?
35587Is it he-- Henry?"
35587Is it imperative you should go?"
35587Is it man, or demon, that mocks me?
35587Is it mockery, this seeming contempt of court?
35587Is it on fire_ now_?"
35587Is it so, Mr Gerald?"
35587Is it so?"
35587Is it something to be alarmed about?"
35587Is it surprising that in such a land women should be found, endowed with those qualities that have been ascribed to Isidora?
35587Is it the hand of God that directs this enemy on his track?
35587Is it the mere instinct of the animal, giving way to a blind unreasoning effort at impossible escape?
35587Is it the way he is wanted to go?
35587Is it to be an acknowledgment of guilt?
35587Is it to prove so again?
35587Is it true that your brother parted in anger with the prisoner at the bar?"
35587Is it true, Gerald?
35587Is it yours?
35587Is n''t there the smell av swate fingers about it?
35587Is she straying?
35587Is she there of her own accord-- by her own free will?
35587Is she willing to have you?
35587Is that all you know about it?
35587Is that beauteous form in the embrace of a paint- bedaubed savage?
35587Is that so, girl?"
35587Is that so?
35587Is that to be the law of the land?"
35587Is the macho coming on?"
35587Is the old maje really afraid of his getting out of the guard- house?"
35587Is the trial to be further postponed?
35587Is there a boding in the behaviour of the birds?
35587Is there a dead body?"
35587Is there any house on the other side?"
35587Is this the thought that sustains him?
35587It accounts for his cold indifference to me?
35587It air the hoss''s throat ye mean, I s''pose?"
35587It could not be a man?
35587It could not be anything relating to young Poindexter''s sister?"
35587It could scarce be caused by the absence of her brother from the breakfast- table?
35587It cyan''t be smothered up in the blankyet?
35587It cyant be yersilf, Miss Pointdixther?
35587It is broken by the formalised interrogatory of the judge?
35587It is his?
35587It might be the individual whose form had just faded out of sight?
35587It might be there again?
35587It seemed a most unpropitious place for playing eavesdropper; and yet there might be a chance?
35587It ud do it no good; nayther cyan it do him any harm to spake about it?
35587Kin ye promise me three days?"
35587Know ye not that some must suffer-- must work and starve-- that others may enjoy the luxury of idleness?
35587Know you where you are, sir?
35587Lazoed in his saddle and dragged to the earth?
35587Let me enter, and watch over him?
35587Let me see?
35587Like themselves, it could only be going towards the Leona: perhaps some government convoy on its way to Fort Inge?
35587Listened she to the voices of the birds, from garden and grove swelling harmoniously around her?
35587Masther Maurice?
35587Maurice Gerald never--""Did the deed, you are going to say?
35587May I ask what it was, Mr Gerald?"
35587May I have your permission to introduce this Hibernian fashion into the settlements of Texas?"
35587May be it''ll be comin''this way in purshoot av them?"
35587Maybe he was about to commit_ murder_?
35587Maybe the overseer?
35587Maybe yez do n''t know that the whisky''s on the idge of bein''out?
35587Mexicano_?"
35587Might there not remain some trace of that clandestine correspondence in the place where it had been carried on?
35587Miss Looey, you so''peak?"
35587Mout it be thet ere individooal yur inquirin''abeout?"
35587Much more might the thief?
35587My cousin, a young lady, betrayed by a common scamp-- a horse, trader-- who would have said a word against it?
35587No doubt you can identify it at some distance?"
35587No, they are not near?
35587Not at the tavern, I hope?"
35587Not in his sleeping- room, I suppose?"
35587Not me, I hope?"
35587Nothin''happened to yur young mistress, I hope?
35587Now, sir, I hope you are satisfied?"
35587Now, sir, will that be agreeable to you?"
35587O blissed Mother, what will become av me?
35587O, sir, tell me, what is the nature of his illness-- what has caused it?"
35587One o''two things it air boun''to be: eyther a bunnel o''rags, or ole Harry from hell?"
35587One who can keep my secret-- who?
35587Only a mile you say?"
35587Only him?"
35587Only say ye''ll streetch a pint, an gi''me three days?"
35587Only the Comanches could have been so cruel?
35587Only the hoss comin''home wi''some rid spots on the seddle?"
35587Or am I mad-- mad-- mad?"
35587Or go on and brave the dark storm that is fast gathering around him?
35587Or had Diaz met him on the way, and forced the letter from him?
35587Or had she become conscious of playing a part open to the suspicion of being unfeminine?
35587Or had the severance been effected by a single cut?"
35587Or how heartily I pressed it?
35587Or is it his tail that is missing?"
35587Or is it the breathing of the horse?
35587Or it may have been the bud of a young love, blighted ere it reached blooming-- by absence, oft fatal to such tender plants of passion?
35587Or was it another chapter of incongruous impossibilities, like that still fresh before his mind?
35587Or, is it only me imaginayshin that''s desavin''me?
35587Or, perhaps, it was but a casual thing-- the encounter of which he had been told, between his daughter and Maurice the mustanger?
35587Or, was it the whisky that did it?
35587Perceiving it, the planter approached, and accosted him with the inquiry:"Is there still a danger?"
35587Perhaps Phelim along with him?
35587Perhaps a second day and night-- or longer-- who can tell how long?
35587Perhaps he''ll repeat his visit, when he thinks I''m in a proper state to receive him?
35587Perhaps it can only be answered by God and himself?"
35587Perhaps it may be a prison?"
35587Perhaps they may have been successful?
35587Perhaps you are yourself interested in Miss Poindexter, notwithstanding your pretensions to be considered a Joseph?
35587Perhaps you do not live_ alone_?
35587Perhaps you will still further assist me by helping me into the saddle?
35587Perhaps you''d like to ride off along with that swaggering fellow?
35587Poindexter to one of the party, who understands Spanish:"_ A jacale_?"
35587Preehaps ye want to see the master o''t?"
35587Pwhat wud the blue- eyed colleen say, if she knew yez were in such danger heeur?"
35587Relieved of this, had he come after me to demand satisfaction for the injury he supposed her to have sustained?
35587S''norita_, who''d have expected to find your ladyship in this lonely place-- wasting your sweetness on the thorny chapparal?"
35587Saint Patrick presarve us, whare is it?
35587Sant Pathrick and all the others to boot, fwhat am I talkin''about?
35587Sant Pathrick protict me, but fwhat was it thin?
35587Sartin the lead struck agin somethin''solid; an I reck''n thur''s nothin''solid in the karkidge o''a ghost?"
35587Senor, what name?"
35587Shall I go back, and dare her to deadly strife?"
35587Shall he plunge back into the thicket, and hide himself from the eyes of men?
35587Shall we move forr''ad, major?"
35587She may yet kick against the traces, if she find the harness not to her liking; and then what am I to do-- poor I?"
35587She was here scarce two weeks ago, was she not?
35587Should he continue along the trail he was already deciphering; or forsake it for that of the steed that had just swept by?
35587Should she make a retreat through that, undignified as it might be?
35587Shure now it cyant?"
35587Shure now, it is n''t wan av them Mixikin girls--_mowchachas_, as they call them?
35587Shure now, yez wudn''t till upon me, if I gave yez a thrifle av a kiss?
35587Shure thare''s somethin''detainin''him?
35587Shure yez do n''t make more than a bare livin''by the horse- catchin''; an if yez did, what mathers it?
35587Shure yez wo n''t object to my doin''that?"
35587Shurly ye know what a maar is?"
35587Snakes, div yez mane?"
35587So-- you''ve let him off?"
35587Some closer tie must have been established between them?
35587Some grand senora, I suppose?
35587Some other shares your-- jacale-- as you call it?"
35587Somebody''s promised him his costs?
35587Something passed between them?"
35587Surely he is breathing?"
35587Surely he would n''t object to a quartering with the Hancocks?"
35587Surely it ca n''t be?
35587Surely it can not be human_?"
35587Surely it could not be human?
35587Surely it could not be human?
35587Surely it could not be human?
35587Surely it is sufficient if he be allowed to proceed with his_ very plausible tale_?"
35587Surely it was?
35587Surely the crisis had come?
35587Surely there''s no danger of his making an attempt to steal out of his prison?"
35587Surely they would n''t have molested me, gallant fellows as they are?
35587Surely to God he do n''t intend making his way across into the garden?
35587Surely you are joking?"
35587Surely you can_ convince_ her?"
35587Surely you have n''t allowed them to get away?
35587Surely you know her-- Louise?
35587Surely you will allow me to give you something better?"
35587Surely''tis as much so as archery, or skating?
35587Surely, gentlemen, this ca n''t be the man we''re in search of?"
35587Surely_ she_ should know-- she who had penned the appointment, and spoken so confidently of his keeping it?
35587Taken with his stylish dress, I suppose?
35587Tara had returned?
35587Tell me, miss; have you seen anybody out here-- that is-- have you met any one, riding about, or camped, or halted anywhere?"
35587Tell me-- is he in great danger?"
35587Texan justice?
35587Thar do n''t''pear to be anythin''arter him?
35587Thar''s none under the blanket, is thar?"
35587Thars some o''the hands air a smith, I reck''n?"
35587That some must be slaves, that others may be free?"
35587That uncourteous start could scarce be an intention-- except on the part of the spotted mustang?
35587That was the danger to be dreaded?"
35587That''s it, ai n''t it?"
35587That''s it, is it?
35587The Comanches have done it?"
35587The Dona Isidora here?--on the Leona, I mean?"
35587The Indians are not here?
35587The Indians?
35587The cause?
35587The cyabin div yez mane?"
35587The dress-- but why need we describe it?
35587The faithful creature could not transport him from the spot; and to stay there would be to die of hunger-- perhaps of the wounds he had received?
35587The head?
35587The horses you mean?"
35587The invalid that lay below, almost under her feet, in a chamber of the hacienda-- her cousin Cassius Calhoun?
35587The mare, standing saddled by his side, might still have betrayed him?
35587The mustanger must be mad?
35587The neighing of her steed has betrayed it?
35587The prisoner is asked, according to the usual formality,--"_Guilty, or not guilty_?"
35587The river must be on the other side?
35587The tongue of scandal takes delight in torturing; and he may have been chosen as one of its victims?
35587There can be little harm in it: since he has gone astray in good company?"
35587There can not be?"
35587There is no certainty that the backwoodsman knows anything of the circumstance that is troubling him?
35587There might have been nothing in it, beyond the simple acknowledgment of her gratitude?
35587There was an interruption to the nocturnal chorus; but that might have been caused by the howling of the hound?
35587There''s but a patch of this, I suppose?
35587Therefore, I move we postpone the trial, till--""What''s the use of postponing it?"
35587They all belong to that cuss arready; an why shed he want to get shot o''the cousin?
35587They are changed, and why?
35587They may be riding to get round her-- in order to advance from different sides, and make sure of her capture?
35587They may be the rear- guard of four hundred?
35587They may have discovered her position?
35587They may have met by accident in the chapparal?
35587They might belong to the devil?
35587They must engage not to begin firing till we have got out of their way?"
35587They''d find his carcase, sure,--maybe hear the shot?
35587Thim I saw too, but was n''t shure about eyedintifycashin; for who kud till a face all covered over wid rid blood?
35587Three long hours, and then what would be the use of him?
35587Thus did they speak to each other, the lady taking the initiative:--"To- morrow night you will meet me again-- to- morrow night, dearest Maurice?"
35587To the question,"Who has done this?"
35587To what was he indebted for his strange deliverance?
35587To whom did he belong?
35587To you, however, it is not so solitary, I presume?"
35587Too well dressed for those ragged_ vagabundos_?
35587Trath have I. Besoides, if I had been the worse for the liquor, why am I not so still?
35587Traveller through the Southern States of America you; can not fail to remember him?
35587Unless that little tell- tale be discovered, he has nothing to fear; and what chance of its being discovered?
35587Upon the instant?
35587Urged by affection, was he going forth to trace the mystery of the murder, by finding the body of the murdered man?
35587Wal, air ye riddy to take the back track?"
35587War it him d''ye think?"
35587Was I really so?"
35587Was he dead?
35587Was her servant a traitor?
35587Was it a change for the better upon the estate of Casa del Corvo?
35587Was it a phantom?
35587Was it a phantom?
35587Was it a phantom?
35587Was it an accident?
35587Was it in correspondence with the form?
35587Was it quite severed from the body?"
35587Was it seen by human eyes in this fresh phase-- with the wolves below, and the vultures above?
35587Was it such as to secure the love of a man so much master of his passions, as the mustanger appeared to be?
35587Was it the Irlandes himself, dead, decapitated, carrying his head in his hand?
35587Was it the sight of the disabled arm, or the pallid face: for the glass had enabled her to distinguish both?
35587Was it the thought that she had been acting wrongly in keeping her father, her brother, and friends in suspense about her safety?
35587Was it this that was stirring them to such excited action-- apparently making them mad?
35587Was it this?
35587Was it, that he feared humiliation by disclosing the part he had himself played?
35587Was she herself happy?
35587Was she looking at a landscape, that could scarce fail to challenge admiration?
35587Was the man dead?
35587Was the scene real?
35587Was the sleeping, or awake?
35587Was there another, who has gone away with the woman?
35587Was this, too, a fancy?
35587We have n''t lost it-- have we?"
35587We may have been seen, and our purpose suspected?
35587We rode close past it while in pursuit of the wild mares?"
35587We''d better keep on arter them?"
35587We''ve come more than five miles-- six, I should say-- and where''s the tree?
35587Well, taking this for granted, you would n''t hang a man without first hearing what he''s got to say for himself?
35587Well; who else was likely to have done it?
35587Well?"
35587Were both dead?
35587Were they at that moment in the woods, or within the walls of the house?
35587Were they listening for that fatal formulary:--One-- two-- fire?
35587Wha power on earth can be appealed to after this?
35587Whar air he?"
35587Whar kin I find Miss Lewaze?"
35587Whar''s he boun''for now?
35587Whar''s_ she_ comin''from?"
35587What air any dung- hill fowl to compare wi''a wild turkey o''the purayra; an how am I to shoot one, arter the sun hev clomb ten mile up the sky?
35587What am I thinkin''o''?
35587What am I to do?"
35587What are them divvils afther?
35587What are they?"
35587What are you now?
35587What are you raving about?
35587What because?
35587What can four Comanche Indians want with Maurice the mustanger?
35587What could be the interpretation of such a tableau?
35587What could be the motive?
35587What could be the purpose of the strange proceeding?
35587What could have caused their scampering?
35587What could have frightened them off?
35587What could have taken her there-- twenty miles across the country-- alone-- in the hut of a common horse- trader-- standing by his bedside?
35587What could it be but Indian jargon?
35587What could it be?
35587What could it be?
35587What could they have quarrelled about?"
35587What did you hear?
35587What do I put the rope roun''me for?
35587What do it say for hisself?"
35587What do yez think it is?"
35587What do you mean, Phelim?"
35587What do_ you_ make o''it, Mister Cash Calhoun?"
35587What do_ you_ make o''it, Sam Manly?"
35587What does he say, uncle?"
35587What does it mane, Tara?"
35587What does it mean, Captain Sloman-- you who know so much of this fellow and his affairs?
35587What does that prove?"
35587What else but keep straight on?
35587What else could he be after?
35587What else could it be?
35587What had all this to do with the question before the council?
35587What had caused_ it_?
35587What had he carried off?
35587What happened this mornin''to change yur tune?"
35587What has challenged the stag to such protracted scrutiny?
35587What have I to fear?"
35587What have you got in the larder?"
35587What have you heard me say?"
35587What have you learnt?"
35587What he did say was:--"You''re not in earnest, Loo?"
35587What if I were to take to it myself?
35587What if he be hunting it?
35587What if he should catch it?
35587What if we stop here a while, and let her have a little rest?
35587What is it he has been saying?"
35587What is it you have to say?"
35587What is it your business, we''d like to know?
35587What is it, sir?
35587What is it?
35587What is it?
35587What is that, Mr Stump?
35587What is this purpose?
35587What is this shadow hanging over him?"
35587What is to be my destiny?
35587What is''t to you what I''m speakin''beout?
35587What is''t, nigger?
35587What it may be,_ quien sabe_?"
35587What ked that mean?
35587What kin he ha''been doin''wi''them?
35587What kin they be?
35587What makes this mustang a ma- a- r?"
35587What makes you think there is?"
35587What man?
35587What matters-- so long as it is innocent, and gives one a gratification?"
35587What mean you, Cassius?
35587What more do you want to show that the skunk''s guilty?
35587What name?"
35587What next?
35587What of her?"
35587What of that?
35587What on earth can he be after?"
35587What proof hez been found?
35587What protection could there be in a shut door, barred and bolted besides, against that which was not earthly?
35587What say ye to examinin''_ him_?"
35587What say you, Miss Poindexter?"
35587What say you?"
35587What signified his shape, so long as it wanted that portion most essential to existence?
35587What sort of person?
35587What the old Scratch can be his intention?
35587What then?"
35587What time air he expected hum?
35587What was bringing her back?
35587What was it you saw?"
35587What was it?
35587What was she like?"
35587What was she to think of that sudden desertion?
35587What was the meaning of that?
35587What was the next step to be taken?
35587What will Florinda say?
35587What will you eat, Mr Stump?"
35587What woman?
35587What would you prefer-- port, sherry, claret?
35587What''s kim over ye now?"
35587What''s to be done?
35587What''s to be dud now?"
35587What''s tuk him thur?
35587What''s wrong?
35587What''s your opinion of it, Spangler?"
35587What, then, hinders him from sinking under despair, and at once resigning himself to what must be his ultimate destiny?
35587What, then, was the_ punctilio_ that restrained him?
35587When?
35587When?"
35587Whence came that horse?
35587Whence come they?
35587Where air_ he_?"
35587Where am I?"
35587Where can he have gone?
35587Where did the girl gallop to?"
35587Where is Zeb Stump?
35587Where is she now?
35587Where is the niece of Don Silvio Mortimez?
35587Where is this?
35587Where was he to find it?
35587Where was the body to be found?
35587Where went Cassius Calhoun?
35587Where will yez hiv her phut, masther?
35587Where would you expect me to have been?
35587Where''s father, and Harry, and the rest of the people?"
35587Where?"
35587Which him, Miss Lewaze?"
35587Which is it?
35587Which o''the brutes kicked ye?"
35587Which of the two was entitled to the credit of the successful shot?
35587Whither go they?
35587Whither next?
35587Whither was he bound?
35587Whither, but to visit Dona Isidora Covarubio de los Llanos?
35587Whither, if not to meet Dona Isidora Covarubio de los Llanos?
35587Whither?
35587Who air the individooal that objecks?"
35587Who are they?
35587Who believes it?"
35587Who but Indians could have spilled such innocent blood?
35587Who but Maurice the mustanger?
35587Who but she could protect him?
35587Who can describe the sweetness of such embrace-- strange to say, sweeter from being stolen?
35587Who can he be?
35587Who can paint the delicious emotions experienced at such a moment-- too sacred to be touched by the pen?
35587Who can say that this is not something of the same sort?"
35587Who can show this, to satisfy the jury?
35587Who can unravel it?"
35587Who care fo''dat?
35587Who cares to play carnival on the prairies-- except myself, and my camarados?
35587Who could blame him if he has?
35587Who could have foretold such an interruption as that occasioned by the encounter between Cassius Calhoun and Isidora Covarubio de los Llanos?
35587Who could help noticing it?"
35587Who could it be?
35587Who div yez think he was, masther?"
35587Who do you say she is?"
35587Who do you suppose she is?"
35587Who else shed I?
35587Who guided you?
35587Who had ever heard of a phenomenon so unnatural?
35587Who has done this?"
35587Who in ole Nick''s name kin be huntin''out thur-- whar theer ai n''t game enuf to pay for the powder an shet?
35587Who is to gainsay them?
35587Who is?
35587Who last saw Henry Poindexter?
35587Who on earth had ever witnessed such a spectacle-- a man mounted upon horseback, and carrying his head in his hand?
35587Who the hell kin_ he_ be?
35587Who was it?
35587Who was the object of this solicitude so hypothetically expressed?
35587Who would not have felt fear at the approach of a destroyer so declaring itself?
35587Who''d a surposed that the cowardly varmints would a had the owdacity to attakt a human critter?
35587Who''d have expected to see you?
35587Who''s along wi''him?"
35587Who''s goin''to hurt ye?
35587Who, Gertrude?"
35587Who, or what is it?
35587Who, then, can come up with him?
35587Why are you not free to say it?"
35587Why did I not ask him the name?
35587Why did he refrain from giving a narration of that garden scene to which he had been witness?
35587Why did n''t they go thar?
35587Why did you fill me with false hopes?
35587Why did you not use them as I told you?
35587Why did you not write?"
35587Why do you talk thus?
35587Why has she thus deviated from her route?
35587Why have I missed it?
35587Why hev ye stopped hyur?"
35587Why is it not carried out?
35587Why moutn''t I git cloaster to_ it_?
35587Why not address yourself to them?"
35587Why not the imperious confidence, that should spring from a knowledge of possession?
35587Why should Cassius Calhoun have killed his own cousin?
35587Why should I be angry with you, child?
35587Why should I conceal it from you-- you up here, who know everything that''s down there?
35587Why should I fear_ you_?
35587Why should his fair companion wish to linger there with him?
35587Why should she?
35587Why should they?
35587Why should_ he_ skulk from a visionary danger, that did not deter a man in Mexican garb?
35587Why that anguished utterance?
35587Why that hanging back, as if the thong of horse- hide was a venomous snake, that none dares to touch?
35587Why that took of spiteful hatred?
35587Why was Calhoun concealing what had really occurred?
35587Why wish to watch the_ iodons_, engaged in their aquatic cotillon-- amorous at that time of the year?
35587Why you no let her fill her belly wif de corn?
35587Why, then, had he done the"deal?"
35587Why, then, this antipathy against the respited prisoner, for the second time surging up?
35587Why?
35587Why?
35587Why?"
35587Will God permit the red- handed ruffian to escape?
35587Will He not stretch forth His almighty arm, and stay the assassin in his flight?
35587Will He not stretch forth His almighty arm, and stay the assassin in his flight?
35587Will she take Benito?
35587Will ye listen to it now, or arter--?"
35587Without companions?
35587Without even a roof to shelter you?"
35587Wo n''t you?
35587Won it?
35587Wonder how the varmint could ha''crossed thet?
