19909And here was Nathaniel''s Thanksgiving dinner and Brother Aaron''s-- had it flown away?

19909And was it not the intention to invite all of the aristocracy of both towns to be present at the marriage feast?

19909Are we idle?
19909Are we indifferent?
19909Are we not doing all we can?
19909Are we not doing it minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day?
19909Are we not doing our best?

19909But Prudence called to him in a cheerful and kindly tone:"Come, Robert,"said she,"wo n''t you shake hands with your old friend?"
19909But could he not make it easier for us to get our food than by hunting animals and taking fish?

19909Freddie, standing with eyes and mouth wide open, finally said,"Why, Ellen, do you believe it is a letter?"
19909Guess who he is?"
19909Had one of the neighbours''geese stolen away?
19909Has she, too, a master who has lost patience?"
19909Have we let one drop of moisture pass by unused, one moment of warmth come to us in vain?
19909Have we not done our best?
19909Have we not seized on every chance, and striven every day to be ready for the hour of breaking forth?

19909He said:"Why ca n''t a poor little mouse have a Thanksgiving dinner as well as we?"
19909He was angry but lately, because the seed he had sown had not yet brought forth; now that it has brought forth, why is he not glad?
19909His wife''s face grew paler still, but she only asked tenderly,"How did you ever get here, Joe?"
19909How ever was his lunch to come in now?
19909How should this colossal tart be cooked?
19909How''s that for a Thanksgiving dinner?"
19909Humph,_''twas_ quite a setup for poor church mice, was n''t it?
19909I was only''leven years old, and what could I?
19909Is it not enough that I must needs send the schoolmaster a- packing, without being worried by graceless young varlets as you?"
19909Is she, too, fading and waiting?
19909Mother says,''Ezry an''Amos, wo n''t you never get through eatin''?
19909Mother, do you suppose our turkey weighs more than Submit''s?"
19909Mother, how much do you suppose our turkey weighs?"

19909Seen a ghost?"
19909Sha n''t I fetch Sylvester over?"
19909Shall we not be found ready at last?
19909Shall we not be found waiting and watching?
19909She simply repeated her first question:"What are we going to do about it, I should like to know?"
19909She was a courageous little body indeed, but what mother would not venture a good deal for her hungry babies?
19909She''s just as fine, is n''t she?"
19909Suppose the Thompson turkey should be larger, and she should lose Thankful-- Thankful that her beautiful Aunt Rose had made for her?
19909Sylvia, will you stand before the sophy?
19909The motion prevailed; and then the poor housewives began to ask the question,"What shall we have for Thanksgiving dinner?"
19909Then Ruth bowed herself to the ground, and said:"Why have I found such favour in thine eyes, seeing I am a stranger?"
19909Then he asked,"_ And_, pard, the baby?"
19909To which he answered, if answer it may be called,"Why are you always so gloomy?
19909Uncouth enough was their aspect; but fashion did not yet reign in Nepash, and if they were warm, who cared for elegance?

19909What more does he want?
19909What''ll they think?
19909What_ could_ Bert say?
19909What_ had_ he done with it?
19909When moisture was scant, and we throve but little, why did he not rejoice over that little, and wait, as we did, for more?
19909Where is it, Joe?"

19909Why does he always complain?
19909Why does he murmur?
19909Why does he not rejoice?"
19909Why indeed?
19909Why leave them open?

45114And say, Billy, was n''t it fun the day we killed old man Lee''s puddle ducks for wild ones? 45114 And the baby, Nan?"
45114And what are we going to do, Mistress Ely?
45114And what can a boy like you have to think of? 45114 And what did you wish?"
45114And what did you wish?
45114And why will he not pay the taxes, Patem?
45114And you broke my poor old wishbone with your little sister, did n''t you?
45114And your horse, Pose?
45114And, Sister March, how have you been since we last met?
45114Any letter for me?
45114Araminta Kittredge, what does this mean?
45114Are you all right, Nan?
45114Are you sure you can take care of her?
45114Are you tired?
45114Aunt, what makes you keep that gander year after year?
45114But what will we fodder it to?
45114But why does he always and only complain?
45114But wo n''t it cost you too much?
45114But, Mother, if somebody else should buy it?
45114But-- ain''t there a letter-- for me?
45114Buy a paper, sir? 45114 Can you tell me where I can get work,"asked the man, doggedly,"so that I can earn a little something to eat?
45114Cold?
45114Come, now, wo n''t you have something between the soup and the pie? 45114 D''ye think the like of yonder''s a horse thief?
45114Dick, do your ricolleck the fight you and a coon had out on the limb of that tree over yonder, one night?
45114Did n''t Mr. Despondency and Miss Muchafraid and Mr. Readytohalt all dance together in the''Pilgrim''s Progress?''
45114Did n''t see anybody with a horse last night or this morning, eh, John?
45114Did n''t you wish for a bicycle to- day, when you got the big end of the wishbone?
45114Do n''t you know my Aunt Rose from Boston made her and gave her to me?
45114Do n''t you think I ought to ask mother, Submit?
45114Do you know,said he,"that you have been conducting yourself like unto the brawlers in the taverns and ale- houses?"
45114Do you mean I can have the work- box to keep?
45114Do you mean to say you''ve been homesick all this time?
45114Father, when are you going to weigh him?
45114Father,said she,"how much do you think our Thanksgiving turkey will weigh?"
45114Fifteen miles on horseback with that foot? 45114 Has n''t he got to if she says so?"
45114Hath he, hath he, boy?
45114Have a chaw, Dick?
45114Have some cheese with your pie, wo n''t you? 45114 Have we got so pore as all that, Mother?"
45114Have we not done our best from the first? 45114 Have you caught a whole flock of quails?"
45114Have you got the powder- horn, Nat? 45114 How could your wish come true?"
45114How do you suppose I can tell? 45114 How many times must I tell you, Lois, to read your Bible?"
45114How''s that, Bubby?
45114I said to Aaron:''What can I give Nathaniel to carry to sea with him to make him think of home?
45114Is it because he is a kind of watchdog, and keeps troublesome people away?
45114It leaves Thanksgiving out in the cold, does n''t it, Bub? 45114 Joe,"said his wife, suddenly,"where are you going?"
45114Kid, pard?
45114Mice?
45114Now what shall we do with him?
45114Oh, Jason, do n''t you wish it was always going to be Thanksgiving Day after to- morrow?
45114Orful slick- lookin'', ai n''t she?
45114Ready?
45114Said I not so, and will you dare doubt my word, rascal? 45114 Sarah Adams,"said she,"what will you give me if our turkey is bigger than your turkey?"
45114Say, Grandpa,he urged,"go hunting to- morrow and try to kill a turkey for Thanksgiving, wo n''t you?
45114Snakes?
45114So then, Teuny,cried Patem, in his highest key of contempt,"did your wits blow away with your hat out of Heer Snediker''s nut tree yesterday?
45114So this is your place of business?
45114Submit, what does this mean?
45114Sure?
45114That is because you are a schoolmaster,laughed Mrs. October, shaking her head, adorned with a wreath of gayly tinted leaves;"but where is my baby?"
45114That''s the question: why do n''t I? 45114 The poor?"
45114Too much? 45114 WHY ca n''t dollies have a Thanksgiving dinner as well as real folks?"
45114Was n''t it lucky we had potpie to- day? 45114 We can have Thanksgiving now, ca n''t we, Ma?"
45114Well, Obie, what''s happened?
45114Well, Pose?
45114Well, now, Sam, why need you be off on things that''s none of your business?
45114Well,cried several of the boys almost in a breath,"and now what shall we do, Patem?
45114What I want to know is,said Breem, as he glanced sharply round the long room of the camp,"what''s become of that yellow- haired jay-- Bennett?"
45114What ails you now, Pose? 45114 What are you going to do?"
45114What colour was the horse, John?
45114What could I do but eat turkey when it was put on the table?
45114What could_ you_ do?
45114What did she bring you the doll baby for?
45114What did ye tell her?
45114What difference does it make if one weighs a pound or two more than the other, if there is enough to go round?
45114What do you care if you only have blue beads and lots of candy?
45114What do you do here?
45114What do you say to chicken soup, and then wind up with a thumping big piece of squash pie? 45114 What game is it?"
45114What if she did?
45114What is it, Joe?
45114What is it, Joe?
45114What makes you think so?
45114What shall we do to him for that?
45114What shall we do with him, grandpapa?
45114What shall we have for Thanksgiving dinner?
45114What will we have for Thanksgiving, Ma?
45114What will we_ do_? 45114 What will you give me if it is?"
45114What you crying for?
45114What''s that?
45114When''s yours going to be killed?
45114Where did you get this, Freddie-- what do you mean by finding it in the turkey?
45114Where hast thou gleaned to- day?
45114Where is your mother? 45114 Where?"
45114Who for?
45114Why did n''t you buy some blue ones? 45114 Why do n''t ye send Doll?"
45114Why do n''t you fire? 45114 Why do n''t you go hunting, and try to kill you a turkey for Thanksgiving?"
45114Why do n''t you open it?
45114Why do n''t you suggest something?
45114Why is this?
45114Why not?
45114Why should n''t I dance?
45114Why should you care if the Adams''turkey does weigh more? 45114 Why, Jason, is anything the matter?"
45114Why, what did''come of you before I came?
45114Why, what makes you look so sober?
45114Wife all right?
45114Wife, pard?
45114Will you?
45114Yes, but it has n''t any stamp and how could a turkey bring it-- how did it get in him?
45114You did,replied the gobbler coldly,"and you had a fine old time, did n''t you?"
45114You do n''t care because the new minister and his daughter are coming?
45114You like it?
45114You understand? 45114 You''re not going to throw that good old clock away?"
45114You''ve a home to go to, and friends, too, I hope?
45114''What kind of apples do you like best, Ezry?''
45114A cup of tea, then, to go with your pie?"
45114Ai n''t I got four hundred dollars a year for the rest of my natural born days?"
45114Ai n''t it real pleasant here?
45114Ai n''t you always doing something for everybody, and helping every one of these neighbours in all sorts of ways?
45114Ai n''t you the kindest man yourself that ever lived?
45114And Boaz came from Bethlehem, and said to his reapers:"Whose damsel is this?"
45114And Boaz, who was good and kind, said to Ruth:"Hearest thou not, my daughter?
45114And a murmur arose among them:"Should not the Master have welcomed us to life?
45114And do n''t it taste good, too?
45114And has not mercy been with us, sooner or later, all along?
45114And here was Nathaniel''s Thanksgiving dinner and Brother Aaron''s-- had it flown away?
45114And his murmurings and her tears sent a shudder all along the long ridges of sickly corn blades, and they asked one of another,"Why does he murmur?
45114And if we ca n''t get a new one wo n''t you tell Beth to send one of hers?
45114And was it not the intention to invite all of the aristocracy of both towns to be present at the marriage feast?
45114And where''s your contribution, boy?
45114Are we idle?
45114Are we indifferent?
45114Are we not doing all we can?
45114Are we not doing it minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day?
45114Are we not doing our best?
45114Are we not watching and waiting against the times of refreshing?
45114Are we obstinate?
45114As nine o''clock struck, the whole scene dissolved and melted; for what well- regulated village would think of carrying festivities beyond that hour?
45114Be kind of a boom for you''n''Corinna, too-- see?
45114But Prudence called to him in a cheerful and kindly tone:"Come, Robert,"said she,"wo n''t you shake hands with your old friend?"
45114But could he not make it easier for us to get our food than by hunting animals and taking fish?
45114But what was that?
45114But when Sylvy came in with the parson, who could look at furniture?
45114Cake, preserves, apples?
45114Can you guess who Chip was?
45114Could it be?
45114Do n''t this soup smell good?
45114Do n''t you see it''s in a''envelope and all sealed and everything?"
45114Do n''t you want to play?
45114Do not you know that the Heer Governor is at royal odds with Dominie Curtius because the skinflint old dominie will not pay the taxes due the town?
45114Do they fall kind o''lovingly but sadly on the little buryin''ground jest beyond the village?
45114Do we slumber or sleep, and let opportunities pass by unused?
45114Do you feel chilly?"
45114Do you think the world goeth but for your pleasures alone?
45114Does this story teach that tarts and pies should never be eaten?
45114Dolly, what hev''you got?"
45114Eat?
45114Eh, my son?"
45114Everybody looked at her inquiringly, for how did Heart''s Delight know Chip had plenty of nuts?
45114FOOTNOTE:[ 28] From"Kristy''s Surprise Party,"Houghton, Mifflin Co. WHO ATE THE DOLLY''S DINNER?
45114Freddie, standing with eyes and mouth wide open, finally said,"Why, Ellen, do you believe it is a letter?"
45114Guess who he is?"
45114Had one of the neighbours''geese stolen away?
45114Has she, too, a master who has lost patience?"
45114Have we let one drop of moisture pass by unused, one moment of warmth come to us in vain?
45114Have we not done our best?
45114Have we not seized on every chance, and striven every day to be ready for the hour of breaking forth?
45114Have you not here at discretion what you love best, and enough to last you ever,_ ever_ so long?
45114He said:"Why ca n''t a poor little mouse have a Thanksgiving dinner as well as we?"
45114He was angry but lately, because the seed he had sown had not yet brought forth; now that it has brought forth, why is he not glad?
45114His wife''s face grew paler still, but she only asked tenderly,"How did you ever get here, Joe?"
45114How ever was his lunch to come in now?
45114How should this colossal tart be cooked?
45114How''s that for a Thanksgiving dinner?"
45114Humph,_''twas_ quite a setup for poor church mice, was n''t it?
45114I was only''leven years old, and what could I?
45114Is it not enough that I must needs send the schoolmaster a- packing, without being worried by graceless young varlets as you?"
45114Is she, too, fading and waiting?
45114Mother says,''Ezry an''Amos, wo n''t you never get through eatin''?
45114Mother, do you suppose our turkey weighs more than Submit''s?"
45114Mother, how much do you suppose our turkey weighs?"
45114No turkey, nor puddin'', nor anything?"
45114Not go to Sylvy''s wedding?"
45114Now what do you think they did?
45114Now wo n''t you let me pay for my dinner?
45114Oh, Jason, Cyrus wo n''t do it, will he?"
45114Or does n''t his eyes quite reach the Holyoke hills?
45114Page, who also had been in deep thought,"do you think we better ask Santa Claus to send her one, or send her one ourselves?
45114Seen a ghost?"
45114Sha n''t I fetch Sylvester over?"
45114Shall we not be found ready at last?
45114Shall we not be found waiting and watching?
45114She simply repeated her first question:"What are we going to do about it, I should like to know?"
45114She was a courageous little body indeed, but what mother would not venture a good deal for her hungry babies?
45114She''s just as fine, is n''t she?"
45114Suppose the Thompson turkey should be larger, and she should lose Thankful-- Thankful that her beautiful Aunt Rose had made for her?
45114Sylvia, will you stand before the sophy?
45114The motion prevailed; and then the poor housewives began to ask the question,"What shall we have for Thanksgiving dinner?"
45114Then Ruth bowed herself to the ground, and said:"Why have I found such favour in thine eyes, seeing I am a stranger?"
45114Then he asked,"_ And_, pard, the baby?"
45114To which he answered, if answer it may be called,"Why are you always so gloomy?
45114Uncouth enough was their aspect; but fashion did not yet reign in Nepash, and if they were warm, who cared for elegance?
45114Was n''t it good of him?"
45114What could he mean?
45114What do you do for a living?"
45114What do you say?"
45114What for?
45114What for?
45114What if those bullets should rattle out?
45114What more does he want?
45114What''ll they think?
45114What_ could_ Bert say?
45114What_ had_ he done with it?
45114When moisture was scant, and we throve but little, why did he not rejoice over that little, and wait, as we did, for more?
45114Where is it, Joe?"
45114Where is the Master of the Harvest, that he may claim his own with joy?"
45114Where is the critter?"
45114Where was the vessel?
45114Who can tell how long the feast would have lasted if the King had not given his command that it should cease?
45114Why ca n''t I have a nice little lunch during sermon time?"
45114Why do n''t you dine with her?"
45114Why does he always complain?
45114Why does he murmur?
45114Why does he not rejoice?"
45114Why indeed?
45114Why leave them open?
45114Why should Scripture be quoted about such common things?"
45114Why should she cry?
45114Why?
45114Would the Master of the Harvest ask more?
45114You are sure you do n''t feel chilly?"
45114You have heard me speak of Nathaniel, my oldest boy?"
45114You have n''t forgotten that?"
45114You wo n''t?
45114You''ll come, wo n''t you?
45114Your Majesty,_ must_ we eat it all?"
45114[ Illustration:"How much do you suppose our turkey weighs?"]
45114_ By Olive Thorne Miller_ 282* Who Ate the Dolly''s Dinner?
45114_ Where_ did that sound come from?
45114ai n''t our Dolly smart?
45114and, Why does she weep?
45114and, Why does she weep?
45114asked Donald, with a puzzled look,"when you got the little half of the wishbone?"
45114asks Laura,''russets or greenin''s or crow- eggs or bellflowers or Baldwins or pippins?''
45114cried the Heer Governor,"art crazy then, or would you seek to make sport of me, your governor?
45114do n''t you think he will weigh twenty?"
45114do you think their turkey weighs more than ours?"
45114exclaimed Louisa,"how shall we ever get down?"
45114he cried,"where are_ you_ going to get your dinner to- day?"
45114what do you suppose Ellen found in the turkey?
45114where are you going?"
45114who ever heard of such a thing?"
45114whoa!--wagon?"
30007''Manda,she said,"mother is going to talk over something very important with Reliance and Letty, so will you please not call her for a few minutes?
30007About Reynard, the Fox, shall it be?
30007Ai n''t your place big enough for one?
30007And I do n''t? 30007 And are we going?"
30007And are you sorry?
30007And as if you would like a little something to eat?
30007And is n''t he good? 30007 And may I skim the milk and bring up the butter for supper?
30007And was that why you sent me up for the glasses? 30007 And who caught the horses?"
30007Are n''t you afraid of the cows?
30007Are there any girls there?
30007Are they very hard to make?
30007Are you going home with me?
30007Are you really coming at Easter? 30007 Are you''dopted?"
30007Bob Hewlett''s daughter?
30007But how would things go on at home without me?
30007But what in the world could we do for him?
30007But what shall it be and what shall we call it?
30007But where will I get anything to make it of?
30007But,said Edna,"you will want a whole lot of things for the Thanksgiving cooking and what will you do with them all locked up?"
30007Can you tell stories, Reliance?
30007Come with me, Edna, when I ask her, wo n''t you?
30007Come, who is going with me?
30007Could Reliance come?
30007Did any of the boys and girls ever try the experiment of speaking to him pleasantly? 30007 Did he become a soldier?"
30007Did n''t drop it indoors, did you?
30007Did n''t go cavortin''off nowheres pickin''weeds or chasin''cats, did you?
30007Did they play it so many, many years ago?
30007Did you ever do a sampler?
30007Did you walk very fast when you went by?
30007Do n''t have football up here?
30007Do n''t you know the story of''Reynard, the Fox''? 30007 Do n''t you say so, girls?"
30007Do n''t you think Mrs. Willis will be pleased with the card- case?
30007Do n''t you want to be a flower girl?
30007Do you go to school?
30007Do you keep it out here all winter and does n''t it freeze?
30007Do you like going to the mill?
30007Do you mean Serena? 30007 Do you mean b- e- a- r trees or b- a- r- e trees?"
30007Do you mean fibs or reading stories like-- let''s see-- Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk?
30007Do you skim all the milk?
30007Do you suppose they miss us, mother?
30007Do you think Dorothy is conceited and selfish?
30007Do you think grandma would mind my having it?
30007Do you think he threw the dog in the water?
30007Do you think the miller did it?
30007Do you think we ought to go?
30007Does he keep horses and cows and chickens and things?
30007Does n''t Tiddlywinks look funny?
30007Even if I came without mother?
30007Even though you have been sick abed, and have had all sorts of unpleasant adventures?
30007Everybody?
30007Going? 30007 Has it always been?"
30007Has n''t she found her eyelash yet?
30007Have you asked any of them about him?
30007He is not any relation to grandma and grandpa Willis, is he?
30007Here, boys, here,he cried,"what are you doing to that old man?"
30007Here, here, are n''t you going to stay a while?
30007Here, in this house?
30007Here, you old mut, what are you doing to my sister?
30007How about Louis?
30007How could we get across?
30007How do you get in?
30007How do you know?
30007How do you like it?
30007How do you suppose he got in the water?
30007How do you suppose he got so far from home?
30007How long have you been up? 30007 How long shall we stay, mother?"
30007How many are coming for Thanksgiving?
30007How many are there in your club?
30007How many children were there?
30007How many did I say, Reliance? 30007 How many kinds of pie will there be?"
30007How would some milk toast and a soft- boiled egg do?
30007I could n''t have it fried, I suppose?
30007I do n''t suppose I should be?
30007I think that is rather pretty, too, do n''t you?
30007I''m going to keep mine forever and ever, are n''t you?
30007Is everyone going?
30007Is he still there?
30007Is it in the real country?
30007Is n''t Reliance coming, Edna?
30007Is n''t he always there?
30007Is n''t it lovely and spooky?
30007Is n''t she cute?
30007Is n''t the door locked?
30007Is n''t there any other way of getting back?
30007It does n''t do to be too zealous, does it?
30007It is n''t so very far, is it?
30007It is very pretty here, is n''t it?
30007Just hand me that box of nails, Frank, wo n''t you?
30007Key? 30007 May I go look at them?"
30007May n''t Edna come to Jetty''s tea- party?
30007Me? 30007 Mother,"she said,"do you think grandma would let Reliance come up while I am getting ready for bed?"
30007Mother,she said,"do you think it is funny to go to a party with a bound girl?
30007Mother,she said,"is n''t it too bad that Reliance ca n''t go?
30007New kittens, grandma? 30007 No, indeed, are you?"
30007Not want any breakfast? 30007 Not when it will be freshly laid this morning?"
30007Now, just for old times''sake,continued Ben,"just tell me what was the last real, good, old- fashioned trick you ever played?"
30007Oh, Ben,Edna glanced around fearfully,"do you really think there are bears around here?"
30007Oh, Edna, what did your mother say?
30007Oh, Esther Ann, dast we?
30007Oh, Esther, do you dare?
30007Oh, Reliance, do you really?
30007Oh, Reliance, you did n''t dare, did you?
30007Oh, and did you live in a house with a lot of other Friendlesses?
30007Oh, are you going?
30007Oh, but is n''t he much older than you, grandpa?
30007Oh, but you are n''t ill, are you?
30007Oh, but--this was an unexpected objection,"could n''t she do some of it before she goes?"
30007Oh, dear,sighed the little girl, when she was alone with her mother,"do n''t you think grandma is very particular?
30007Oh, does it? 30007 Oh, girls,"she exclaimed as she came up,"have you seen or heard anything of Jetty?
30007Oh, grandma,she cried,"was n''t it a lovely surprise?
30007Oh, how can you? 30007 Oh, mother, did you?"
30007Oh, mother, what do you mean?
30007Oh, mother, will you write the paper and let me take it to her to sign?
30007Oh, shall you? 30007 Oh, was she?
30007Oh, we''ve just come, only a few minutes ago, and what do you think is the news?
30007Oh, were there? 30007 Oh, would n''t that be dreadful?"
30007Poor little lass,said her mother,"you''re not feeling well at all, are you?
30007Proxy? 30007 Reliance is quite a recent addition to the family, is n''t she?"
30007Shall I leave the red book or take it down?
30007Shall we ask Lulie to go with us?
30007She is always well up in her studies, is n''t she? 30007 That little dog?
30007That''s a very nice thing, do n''t you think?
30007The grandparents, too?
30007The one with roses on it that I was sitting on?
30007The real big girls?
30007The silhouette, you mean? 30007 The whole family?"
30007Then why do n''t you take off your things? 30007 To find the key,"Edna answered, and then told her all about the search, ending up with,"You have n''t seen anything of it, have you, Reliance?"
30007Want to come in and learn to milk?
30007Was it your mother''s mother after whom you were named?
30007Was n''t it lovely that we should find them?
30007Was n''t it splendid that you two found Jetty? 30007 Well, I''ll be everlastingly switched,"he exclaimed,"Edna, my child, what are you doing in this mix- up?"
30007Well, if it''s news, how did you expect me to know it?
30007Well,she began,"what''s wanting?
30007Well?
30007Were n''t you nearly frightened to death?
30007What am I going to do to- day?
30007What are the snappy ones?
30007What are they?
30007What are you going to do with it then?
30007What can I do, mother?
30007What did he do? 30007 What did you see out in the woods?"
30007What do they call the stream, Reliance?
30007What do you do to get ready for supper?
30007What do you have to do that for?
30007What does he live on?
30007What else will there be to do?
30007What fox?
30007What in the world did you get up so soon for?
30007What in the world did you go and do this for?
30007What is it, dear? 30007 What kind of an invitation?"
30007What kind of thing could I make?
30007What kind of things?
30007What must I do about this?
30007What people?
30007What shall it be about, children?
30007What special thing has gone wrong this time?
30007What time is it, Reliance?
30007What was it you would n''t tell her?
30007What''s all this?
30007What''s took you up so airly? 30007 What, Esther Ann?
30007What,she said,"are you so very sleepy still?
30007When are we coming here again, mother?
30007When did you come?
30007When did you see him last and what was he doing?
30007When is the sometimes?
30007Where have you looked, Alcinda?
30007Where is it?
30007Where is the place you lived?
30007Where shall we go to lay off our things, mother?
30007Where''s Celia?
30007Who cooks for him?
30007Who is Reliance? 30007 Who said so?"
30007Who told you about it?
30007Who was it shut the gate?
30007Whose was it, grandma? 30007 Why could n''t Charlie and Frank stay with the Porter boys till we get back?"
30007Why could n''t you be her proxy?
30007Why did n''t you go in then?
30007Why did n''t you tell me you had found it?
30007Why not? 30007 Why not?
30007Why not? 30007 Why, is that you, Edna?"
30007Why, where in the world did you get it?
30007Why-- what could I eat?
30007Would n''t it be nice,she said,"if one could be in two places at the same time?"
30007Would that make any difference, Edna? 30007 Would you have to stay supposing you did n''t like it?"
30007Would you mind if it were done so much ahead of time for just this once?
30007You ai n''t picked up the spring- house key nowheres about, have you?
30007You are going to stay to dinner, are n''t you? 30007 You come right straight along, did you?"
30007You do n''t help with the milking then?
30007You old scalawag,cried the young man,"what were you up to?
30007You poor dear,said Edna, in a motherly way,"it has been a lonely time for you, has n''t it?"
30007You will go? 30007 You wore, what was it you wore, Cecelia?"
30007You''re not very peckish, are you?

30007CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I THE INVITATION 9 II RELIANCE 30 III WHERE''S THE KEY?
30007Could Reliance bring Letty Osgood home with her from school to- morrow?
30007Did he run after you?"
30007Did n''t expect us so soon, did you grandpa?"
30007Did she used to do so when you were a little girl?"
30007Did you ask your father?"
30007Did you have a club- meeting and was it a nice one?
30007Did you know about it?"
30007Do n''t you know that brown house back there by the orchard?"
30007Do n''t you think it is silly, sister, for anyone to want you to have no other friend, I mean no other best friend?
30007Do we turn off here?"
30007Do you like it here?"
30007Do you like the plan?"
30007Do you remember the little stool in the living- room by the fireplace?"
30007Do you suppose such a game as that will ever be forgotten?
30007Do you want to go see them?"
30007Funny old curmudgeon, is n''t Nathan?"
30007Happened by just in the nick of time, did n''t I?
30007Has Agnes gone back to college?
30007Have you seen Miss Eloise?"
30007Her name is Serena, do n''t you remember?
30007Here, do you want to see the pictures?
30007How are you Pinky Blooms?"
30007How are you, Celia?

30007How did you happen to come along?"
30007How did you happen upon him?"
30007How did you stand all the racket this morning?
30007How is Dorothy?
30007How long are you going to stay?
30007How''s that, grandma?
30007I always did like mill ponds, did n''t you, Edna?"
30007I can put something over your shoulders and prop you up with pillows, or how would you like to get into my bed?
30007I guess there''s as many as twenty or thirty coming, ai n''t there?"
30007I lent you to her, too, and maybe by that time you might think of something?"
30007I think a great deal has happened in the time I have been here, do n''t you, grandma?"
30007I think it is real nice of Alcinda to ask Reliance when she is a bound girl, do n''t you?"
30007I wo n''t have to wrastle with the door after all, will I?"
30007I''m well, how are you?
30007If a noisy noise annoys an oyster, how much of a noisy noise does it take to annoy Pinky Blooms?
30007If they cut a pie in six pieces it would take over four to go around once, would n''t it?"
30007Is a bound girl the same as a Friendless?
30007Is it your dog?"
30007Is n''t it pretty?"
30007Is n''t that lovely?"
30007Is that all now?"
30007Is that what you call the mother- cat?"
30007Is there anything I can do for you?
30007Is there anything I can do for you?"
30007Is your name Reliance Willis?"
30007It ought to be real serious, ought n''t it?"
30007It was very quiet in the living- room, or did she hear whispers, and subdued titters?
30007Keener?''
30007Keener?''
30007Keener?''"
30007May I bring them right up here?"
30007May I go?"
30007Mother says I wo n''t take cold just going across the street, and you are going to let Reliance go, too, are n''t you?"
30007Mother, is n''t there any place they can lay their bonnets and coats?
30007Nobody lives here and why have n''t we a right as well as the rest of the world?"
30007Now, then, how do you like the change?"
30007Oh, I must tell you about the Elderflowers, must n''t I, mother?
30007Oh, was n''t it dreadful?
30007Porter''s?"
30007Reliance marched up to him and without wasting words, said:"Do you know how this little dog happened to get into the mill pond?"
30007Shall I read to you a little?"
30007Shall I wear my best frock, mother?"
30007Sixteen did I say?
30007Ten?
30007Then what will you do?"
30007There is more than one way out of that trouble, ai n''t there,''Mandy?"
30007Was Reliance or maybe Ben going to play a trick on her?
30007What did you do last year, Reliance?"
30007What is proxy, mother?"
30007What is this wonderful something you are to talk over?"
30007What key?"
30007What was the first thing you did when you got up a club?"
30007What you got there?"
30007What''s got you up so early, missy?
30007What''s that?
30007What?"
30007When did you get back, Frank?"
30007When''s the next game, boys?"
30007Where did you get it?"
30007Where had she put it?
30007Where is Reliance?"
30007Where?"
30007Which of you boys was it who so doughtily sped to the rescue of the young maiden?"
30007Why do you want her on this special night?"
30007Will you read me some more to- morrow?"
30007Would the horses go through without hitting a gate post?
30007Would they run into a fence or over a pile of stones at one side?
30007Would you dare go across, Edna?"
30007Would you like one of the kittens?"
30007Would you like to have Serena to keep you company?"
30007Would you like to sit up in bed?
30007You ca n''t be sure about it?"
30007You do n''t mind, do you, mother dear?"
30007You had it?"
30007You will try to give it a little attention, even though you love the grey one best, wo n''t you, Reliance?"
30007Yours is a funny name, is n''t it?
30007Yours?"
