12632I said,"is he dead?"

12632Little Emily R---- read from her book with a chirping lisp:--"O, what''s the matter?
12632M----''s little dog too, Mrs. Bouncer, barked in the greatest agitation on being called down and asked by M----,"Who is this?"
12632Mary B---- began:--"Oft I had heard of Lucy Grey"; Nancy C---- piped up:--"''How many are you, then,''said I,''If there are two in heaven?''

12632May I put in the story of Washington''s ghost?
12632My youth?
12632Need I say that I like him_ very_ much?
12632Now do n''t you in your own heart and soul quarrel with me for this long silence?
12632Now we have the book, do you remember through whom you sent the notices?

12632Shall I go on?''
12632Shall you republish his wife''s new edition?
12632So what is to be done?
12632Soon he burst out with,"Is my nose so d----y sharp as that?"
12632Sweet mother, is it so?
12632Tell me, too, what is become of Mr. Cooper, that other great novelist?

10111Another use, my dear; and what do you know about money?
10111Are the apartments for you, sir?
10111Are there any celebrated persons in the room? 10111 Are you in your senses?
10111As you like your father to be an honourable man, why not your grandfather, and his ancestors before him? 10111 Can you guess who we are, George?"
10111Can you read it, little boy?
10111Did n''t I pitch into him, that''s all?
10111Did you bring some of Miss Honeyman''s lodging- house cards with you, Ethel?
10111Do n''t you know me, George? 10111 Do n''t you see the young gentleman a- swabbing his eyes, and note his black clothes?"
10111Do you know who I am?
10111Do you?
10111Does Mrs. Newcome give parties when he is away?
10111Does any gentleman say go on? 10111 Does my appearance please you, little page?"
10111For construing a bit of Latin?
10111For who knows,said the lady,"what may happen, and whether we may be able to keep such a learned tutor long?"
10111For whom is this, Miss Jemima?
10111For why, my dear friends,he asked,"why are the governors appointed, but that we should be governed?

10111Have you completed all the necessary preparations incident to Miss Sedley''s departure, Miss Jemima?
10111Have you ever seen them, uncle, floating down the Ganges of a night? 10111 Have you heard of your uncle in India?"
10111Hear what he says of you, sir? 10111 How dare you, sir, break it?"
10111How dare you, sir, break the bottle?
10111How do you do, uncle?
10111How much?
10111I should like to know why, pray? 10111 I suppose you will do my Carrie next?"
10111I was but two years old then,says he,"but take forty- six from ninety, and how old shall I be, kinsman Harry?"
10111I-- I did n''t know you were come till just now,he said;"is-- is-- town very full, I suppose?"
10111If I broke it, it could never be mended, could it? 10111 If you wo n''t forgive, why do n''t you fight?
10111Is Harry going away? 10111 Is it nonsense?"
10111Is it-- is it for my child?
10111Is n''t he a fine fellow, James?
10111Is not all I have my sons''?
10111Is that the doctor?
10111Is that-- that young lady your daughter?
10111Is there anything the matter with-- my mother?
10111Is this gentleman the doctor?
10111It is you, you gadabout, is it?
10111Look at him,the old man would say, nudging his neighbour with a delighted purple face,"did you ever see such a chap?
10111Lost your honour?
10111May n''t I just step in and look at his beautiful countenance whilst he''s asleep, Colonel?
10111Mrs. Mountain, do you dare to set my children against me?
10111My dear Binnie, is it possible? 10111 Not see George?
10111Not unless Heaven softens his heart and teaches him_ charity_, for which I pray day and night; as Mountain knows; do you not, Mountain?
10111Oh, she''s not the ticket?
10111Pray, who are you?
10111Reg''lar starved out, hey? 10111 See what?"
10111Shall he, little Trix?
10111Should you like to have a ride?
10111Sir,says he to the officer,"we are four to two; will you be so kind as to take that road, and leave me go mine?"
10111Six bets, two or dree sitting- rooms? 10111 The darling boy slumbers, does he?"
10111The-- the plucking?
10111Then why do n''t you stand up like a man?
10111There''s no other son, is there?
10111Too much, only too much,said the Colonel, with a genuine grief on his face, and at his heart"Do you bear malice, too, Harry?
10111Waring, do you hear that?
10111Was it-- was it done in public, sir?
10111Was n''t he, Georgie?
10111Well, sir, will you go?
10111Well, well, if you wo n''t fight, why do n''t you forgive?
10111Well,_ now_ will you go?
10111What about them, sir?
10111What are these?
10111What are those?
10111What are you laughing at, little whelp?
10111What can I do, madam? 10111 What complaint has she?"
10111What do you mean, Captain Franks, by laying your hand on your owners? 10111 What do you think of his Latin and Greek?"
10111What does he say?
10111What is it, Mounty?
10111What is it, my boy? 10111 What is it, my darling love?"
10111What is the matter, mother?
10111What means this language to me? 10111 What on earth, madam, have you-- has that to do with the question?"
10111What the deuce brings you here?
10111What will Mr. Washington and those gentlemen think of my servant telling my mother at home that I was going to fight a duel?
10111What''s a mistake?
10111What''s in the wind now?
10111What''s the gals giggling and oggling about?
10111What? 10111 What?
10111What?
10111When did my lord go away?
10111When little Egbert took hold of your sword, and asked you how many people you had killed, do you know I had the same question in my mind? 10111 Where''s the biscuits, ay?"
10111Where?
10111Who is that odd- looking person bowing to you, Arthur?
10111Who is that other woman?
10111Who made you overseer of Castlewood?
10111Who''s there?
10111Why did you not let us know you were Clive''s aunt?
10111Why do you bring young boys here, old boy?
10111Why does she like so to kiss my lady''s hand? 10111 Why may n''t I hear her singing?
10111Why, do n''t you see, Ma?
10111Why? 10111 Why?"
10111Will my lord think so when he comes back?
10111Will not Lockwood let you out, sir?
10111Will you be pleased to send my man with my valise, Captain, into any private room which you can spare me? 10111 Will your ladyship please to give me your informant?"
10111With Father Holt?
10111Would not one of the young gentlemen like to see the campaign?
10111You are very fond of this cup, mother?
10111You will not marry the French woman, will you? 10111 You wo n''t send me to school, will you, Arthur?"
10111You would what, sir,says George, very quietly,"if you did not love my grandfather, and my brother, and my mother?
10111You_ ca n''t? 10111 _ You_ dare to insult me before British officers, and find fault with my language?
10111About Indian widows, did you actually see one burning, and hear her scream as you rode up?"
10111Ah, where was Pen, the widow''s darling and sole pride?
10111Ai n''t you, Carrie?"
10111And is it true, ma''am, that that young woman has been the ruin of her family?"
10111And may I beg you to try my cheroots?"
10111And that little trump of an Ethel, what do you think she said?
10111And the Tower; and St. James''s; and the play; and the Prince George; and the Princess Ann-- didn''t you, Trix?"
10111And when is he coming back?"
10111And where in the list was Pen, the superb; Pen, the wit and dandy; Pen, the poet and orator?
10111And who is yonder?
10111Another would set a sum--"If a pound of mutton- candles cost sevenpence- halfpenny, how much must Dobbin cost?"
10111Are you fond of farming?"
10111As an honest factor, I could not do otherwise: as a prudent man, should I scruple to speak of what will tend to your profit and mine?
10111As for his debts, of course they must be paid;--his debts.--Wasn''t his father''s money all his, and had n''t he a right to spend it?
10111As the heir of Lady Esmond''s estate-- for I speak, I believe, to the heir of the great property?"
10111But, as he said,"A year sooner or later, what does it matter?
10111But, at the cost of-- how much?
10111Ca n''t I, Captain Franks?"
10111Ca n''t you write to old Mother Figs tomorrow?"
10111Close the door, and go to your own room, and do n''t come out till-- stay, why should you not know one secret more?
10111Could your master at school sail over the Thames on his gown?
10111Debts?
10111Did n''t you have a king and queen of hearts three deals running?
10111Did you not say you were my lady''s heir, and is not George Esmond Warrington, Esq.--?"
10111Disgraced by not getting his degree?
10111Do you think your papa will like us, Clive?
10111Does any man who has a wife and sisters or children at home, say go on?
10111Does n''t the himmortal bard observe how sharper than a serpent''s tooth it is to have a thankless child?
10111Examination over?
10111For it was a mistake; and there is no quarrel now, dear, is there?
10111Gracious mercy, are you a fool, Captain Franks?"
10111Harry hung his head, but George continued with perfect calmness:"I, sir?
10111Have you had a pleasant voyage?
10111Have you statues in your church that can bleed, speak, walk, and cry?
10111Have you-- have you settled yet which of you is to leave me?"
10111He remembered to his dying day the thoughts and tears of that long night-- was there any child in the whole world so unprotected as he?
10111He tried to compose his countenance as well as he could, but found it so difficult that presently she asked,"Why do you look so grave?"
10111He was in rather a good- humour, and chanced to remark her excitement"What''s the matter, Miss Osborne?"
10111Her boy was coming back to her repentant and tender- hearted,--why should she want more?
10111His blushes, his stumbles, his awkwardness, and the number of feet which he crushed as he went back to his place, who shall describe or calculate?
10111His wounded tutor, his many duns, the undergraduates-- how could he bear to look any of them in the face now?
10111Hobson said,"Maria ca n''t treat you to such good company as Lady Ann could give you; but when will you take a day and come and dine with us?
10111How d''ye do, Fanny?
10111How d''ye do, Mary?
10111Is he going anywhere?"
10111Is n''t it, Franks?"
10111Is that not enough?"
10111It was in vain that the old lady asked her if she was aware she was speaking to Miss Pinkerton?
10111It was"My dear brother, how do you do?"
10111Little Mr. Dempster, spurring and digging into his pony; and that lady in a riding- habit on Madame Esmond''s little horse-- can it be Madame Esmond?
10111Mason?"
10111Mason?"
10111Mr. Arthur, what''as''appened, sir?"
10111Mr. Nadab?
10111My dear Tommy, do you call yours a church and a priesthood?
10111Not been?
10111One of them-- but which?
10111Or, perhaps you will like Lady Ann best?
10111Pen did not volunteer anything more; and how was Mrs. Pendennis to know that Mr. Costigan was the father of Miss Fotheringay?
10111Pen looked hard at the man, and wondered whether Boots knew he was plucked?
10111Pen thought,"after such a humiliation as that?"
10111Pride has come down, has she?"
10111Senior Wrangler, Double First Class, hey?"
10111Sha n''t refuse a lady, shall he, Trix?"
10111Shall I send my boy with a challenge to Colonel George now?"
10111She saw the dowager''s paint t''other day, and asked her why she wore that red stuff-- didn''t you, Trix?
10111She stretched out her hand-- indeed, when was it that that hand would not stretch out to do an act of kindness, or to protect grief and ill- fortune?
10111She surveyed him blandly, and put forward a little hand, saying,"You have only arrived to- day, and you came to see me?
10111Should he go and see?
10111Should you like to read them?"
10111So that he had change, what cared he?
10111Suppose George loves music?
10111That night when Mrs. Pendennis was lying sleepless, thinking of Pen, a voice at her side startled her, saying softly:"Mamma, are you awake?"
10111That will give you time enough, Colonel Washington?"
10111That''s enough, is n''t it?"
10111The lawyer said,"This boy is deeper than he seems: who knows that he is not laughing at us?"
10111The old lady took hers very kindly, and said,"Because you did n''t give me time,--and do you love Clive, my dear?"
10111The price has been arranged, I think?
10111Then she asked him why he had got on his fine pin and beautiful new waistcoat?
10111They were going to Baden: would he come, too?
10111This is it, is it?
10111This sum he had spent, and for it he had to show-- what?
10111To whom could he turn now for comradeship?
10111Trail?
10111Trail?"
10111Was it joy, or the bedroom candle with which he lighted his cigar, which illuminated his honest features so, and made them so to shine?
10111Was it not he who counselled my mother to order that wretch, Ward, to lay hands on me?"
10111Was not she kind to Alfred, mamma, and did not she make him nice jelly?"
10111Was not the whole house adorned in expectation of his coming?
10111Was she not idle, sulky, scornful, and a sloven?
10111We must make the young chap take us about and show us the town in the morning, eh, Colonel?"
10111Were hit-- but were they killed?
10111Were not his school books full of caricatures of the masters?
10111Were they kind to you?"
10111What did you dream about last Tuesday, tell me that?"
10111What else did n''t he know, or could n''t he do?
10111What generous boy in his time has not worshipped somebody?
10111What has been the meaning of George''s behaviour to me for months back?
10111What ill- conditioned boy is there that dares to laugh?"
10111What is a fat living compared to converting a hundred thousand heathens by a single sermon?
10111What is a scholarship at Trinity by the side of a crown of martyrdom, with angels awaiting you as your head is taken off?
10111What is it, my blessed darling?
10111What news could the vacant woods, or those festering corpses lying under the trees, give the lad of his lost brother?
10111What time''s the breakfast?
10111What was this degree that they made such an outcry about, and what good would it do Pen?
10111What were his debts?
10111What would not Pen have given to enter such a service?
10111What would our grandfather say if he were here?"
10111What''s his name?
10111When shall I go?
10111While his tutor was lecturing him, did he not draw Grindley instinctively under his very nose?
10111Who dares insult me proposing such a thing?
10111Who is the woman?"
10111Who knows whether my boy will return, or how?
10111Who was it that took the children to Astley''s but Uncle Newcome?
10111Who was so brave, who was so handsome, generous, witty as Clive?
10111Who''s that laughing?
10111Who''s your father?
10111Why absurd?
10111Why are tutors engaged, but that children should be taught?"
10111Why did Dr. Portman and his uncle insist upon sending the boy where there was so much temptation to be risked, and so little good to be won?
10111Why did n''t they leave him at home with his mother?
10111Why do n''t she ever sing to me, as she does to that bald- headed man with the large teeth?"
10111Why does n''t he come home and stay with you, instead of passing his vacations at his great friends''fine houses?
10111Why should n''t my boy have innocent pleasure?
10111Why should we?
10111Will it please you to take any refreshment before you ride, Colonel Washington?"
10111Will you allow me to sit down by you?
10111Will you come and see whether I am afraid?
10111Will you go to her?"
10111Will you have your coach?
10111Will you please to give us your arm?"
10111Wo n''t you come in and have some luncheon?
10111Would my lord-- who cared so much for physical perfection-- find hers gone, too?
10111Yes; you have been to her first, of course?
10111You ai n''t a- goin''to be very hard with them poor boys?
10111You do n''t mean to say you have shown the white feather?"
10111You do n''t mean to say you will go away?"
10111You find London very much changed since you were here?
10111You see, Aunt Hobson, she''s very kind, you know, and all that, but I do n''t think she''s what you call_ comme il faut_""Why, how are you to judge?"
10111You will help me in this matter with yonder young gentleman?"
10111You would do what, sir, may I ask again?"
10111Your servant?
10111Your woman shall attend you if you like-- and the japan- box?"
10111_ This_ naughty boy might never have seen you, but that we took him home after the scarlet fever, and made him well, did n''t we Clive?
10111_ Your_ locks are not thinned by this dreadful smallpox; nor your poor face scarred-- is it, my angel?"
10111ai n''t it, sir?
10111and how much money have you got?"
10111asks the father, amused at the lad''s candid prattle,"and where does the difference lie?"
10111asks the little Scot;"and what for have ye not got your shoes on?"
10111cries the Colonel, starting up,"do you mean that my boy''s society is not good enough for any boy alive?"
10111did not I tell you so?
10111how dare you attack children, and insult women?
10111is it that boyish quarrel you are still recalling?"
10111says Mr. Ward;"who is to repair the insult done to_ me_?"
10111says she; and, as if not knowing that any one was near,"What''s this noise?"
10111says the Grand Inquisitor: for the formula of interrogation used to be, when a new boy came to the school,"What''s your name?
10111she cried,"and would I not cut myself into little pieces to serve them?
10111she said,"How come you away from school of a Thursday, sir?"
10111that''s a bad complaint,"continues the good- natured Captain;"and the coach is in the yard to fetch the doctor, I suppose?"
10111what do you mean, sir?
10111you do n''t strike a_ man_ when he is down,"said my lady, with some dignity;"can you not spare a woman?"
