8587 | And where are they now? |
8587 | I cried in fright"Oh, is there no retreat?" |
8587 | Independent? |
8587 | Is it not so? |

8587 | Where will you find another like it in the Western hemisphere? |
8587 | Why did n''t the Irishman fall on the dog? |

3390 | Reporters? |
3390 | What would you do? |
3390 | Who- who in the world is that? |
3390 | A hand frailly waved a handkerchief; Clemens ran over the lawn toward it, calling tenderly:"What? |
3390 | He had done so, and how many mentions of him did I reckon he had found in three months? |
3390 | What a pang it was then not to have told her, but how could we have told her? |
3390 | What profanity? |
3390 | What?" |
8476 | ''Now, do you know what boat that was?'' |
8476 | ''Was she going fast?'' |
8476 | ''Yes, you did-- DIDN''T you?'' |
8476 | 13 say? |
8476 | Are they going to peg all the banks? |
8476 | But what does the river care for a stone wall? |
8476 | GOING TO BE A YEAR GETTING THAT HOGSHEAD ASHORE?'' |
8476 | Is dat so? |
8476 | Presently someone asked--''Any boat gone up?'' |
8476 | Says enough to knock THEIR little game galley- west, do n''t it? |
8476 | What do you reckon that is for? |
8476 | Where did you go when you went to see that battle?'' |
8583 | What do you mean? |
8583 | And so is"wherefore"--though why"wherefore"? |
8583 | And what else would they be likely to consist of? |
8583 | Boy, or girl?" |
8583 | But what was a man to do? |
8583 | Could you abide an Angel in an unclean shirt and no suspenders? |
8583 | Could you respect an Angel with a horse- laugh and a swagger like a buccaneer? |
8583 | Do not these relics suggest something of an idea of the fearful suffering and privation the early emigrants to California endured? |
8583 | He was murderous enough, possibly, to fill the bill of a Destroyer, but would you have any kind of an Angel devoid of dignity? |
8583 | If I were to suggest what ought to be done to him, I should be called extravagant-- but what does the sixteenth chapter of Daniel say? |
8583 | Then he said to them:"''You signed these contracts and assumed these obligations of your own free will and accord?'' |
8583 | To which the driver, who was looking over the precipice where he had disappeared, replied, with an injured air:"Think I''m a dam fool?" |

8478 | What had he gone below for?--His bag of coin? |
8478 | Would n''t their eyes bug out, to see''em handled like that?--wouldn''t they, though?'' |

8478 | you mean to say you''re going to cover it?'' |
8481 | ''A dark and dreadful one?'' |
8481 | ''Account for it? |
8481 | ''How do you account for it?'' |
8481 | ''Is that so?'' |
8481 | ''Which one?'' |
8481 | ''Why did n''t you see them Roman soldiers that stood back there in a rank, and sometimes marched in procession around the stage?'' |

8481 | Do all whom you send from Hartford serve their Master as well? |
8481 | I asked him various questions; first about a mate of mine in Sunday school-- what became of him? |
8481 | I met him on the street the next morning, and before I could speak, he asked--''Did you see me?'' |
8481 | Some talk followed--''Why-- what should make you suspect that it is n''t genuine?'' |
8481 | Well, when you come to look at it all around, and chew at it and think it over, do n''t it just bang anything you ever heard of?'' |
8480 | Are you happy? |
8480 | Do all the good people go to your place? |
8480 | How do you amuse yourself? |
8480 | How long have you been in the spirit land? |
8480 | Is not this true? |
8480 | Then this one has actually forgotten the date of its translation to the spirit land? |
8480 | Very well, then, when did you pass away? |
8480 | Well, then, what year was it? |
8480 | What do you drink? |
8480 | What do you eat there? |
8480 | What do you read? |
8480 | What do you smoke? |
8480 | What do you talk about? |
8480 | What else? |
8480 | When did you die? |
8480 | When your friends in the earth all get to the spirit land, what shall you have to talk about then?--nothing but about how happy you all are? |
8480 | Where are you? |
8480 | Would you like to come back? |
8480 | Would you say that under oath? |
5813 | When missionaries go from here do they find fault with the pagan idols? 5813 Gold, diamonds, power, fame? 5813 Had they germ- scientists then? 5813 How did they find out the water''s secret in those ancient ages? 5813 Is it becoming a jewel casket? 5813 Is it that paint can not counterfeit the intense blaze of a sun- flooded jewel? 5813 Is the fairy structure growing? 5813 Should we be amazed? 5813 Should we be shocked? 5813 Should we call the performance a desecration? 5813 Should we feel outraged? 5813 Then why, as a whole, do they convey a false impression to the reader? 5813 They were running around the well( where else could they go to? 5813 Were there any Americans among those lunch parties? 5813 What do you see before you? 5813 Why do you keep him? |
5813 | Would the English be shocked? |
5813 | Would they be amazed? |
5813 | Would they call the performance a desecration? |
5813 | Would they feel outraged? |
5813 | You receive your water, you make your deposit, and now what more would you have? |
8475 | ''An alligator boat? |
8475 | ''Are they so thick as to be troublesome?'' |
8475 | ''Ca n''t you drink it?'' |
8475 | ''Did they actually impede navigation?'' |
8475 | ''Do you ever get aground on the alligators now?'' |
8475 | ''First time you have ever been West?'' |
8475 | ''Has she got any of her trip?'' |
8475 | ''Is this the first time you were ever in a pilot- house?'' |
8475 | ''Well, then, why do they still keep the alligator boats in service?'' |
8475 | ''What for?'' |
8475 | ''Where are you from?'' |
8475 | For instance--''Do you see that little boulder sticking out of the water yonder? |
8475 | Going to be all day? |
8475 | He paid first- class wages; but said I, What''s wages when your reputation''s in danger? |
8475 | He said--''What is a person to do here when he wants a drink of water?--drink this slush?'' |
8475 | How do criminals manage to keep a brand- new ALIAS in mind? |
8475 | Reputation''s worth everything, ai n''t it? |
8475 | So I was thinking, when the pilot asked--''Do you know what this rope is for?'' |
8475 | Well, I let you, did n''t I? |
8475 | What''s it for?'' |
8475 | When I had gone about twenty- three miles, and made four horribly crooked crossings--''''Without any rudder?'' |
8475 | Where now is the once wood- yard man? |
8584 | Has he any other-- er-- advantages? |
8584 | Here-- what do you mean? 8584 Nothing? |
8584 | So you think the prospect is pretty poor? |
8584 | Well, have n''t you formed any sort of opinion? |
8584 | Well, we''d better go back, had n''t we? |
8584 | What did you find? |
8584 | What, a railroad over the Sierra Nevada Mountains? |
8584 | And the streak of silver? |
8584 | At last, to a peculiarly urgent inquiry of"How far eastward?" |
8584 | But was the imperial beast subjugated? |
8584 | But what is the mining history of Humboldt? |
8584 | Did we go back to bed then? |
8584 | I said:"Where have you all been?" |
8584 | I shall not garble the extract, but put it in just as it appeared in the Daily Territorial Enterprise: But what about our mines? |
8584 | Is there some mystery behind all this?" |
8584 | See it? |
8584 | See the specks of gold? |
8584 | So, where was the flood to come from? |
8584 | Starchy?--proud? |
8584 | The Indians were true prophets, but how did they get their information? |
8584 | Then old Ballou said:"Think of it? |
8584 | What are you coming at? |
8584 | What do you think of the country?" |
8584 | What has become of our sinewy and athletic fellow- citizens? |
8584 | Why? |
8473 | ''How much water is there in it?'' |
8473 | ''Is n''t it easier in toward shore than it is out here in the middle?'' |
8473 | ''Know how to RUN it? |
8473 | ''Who IS I? |
8473 | ''Who wants you to get it? |
8473 | ''You think so, do you?'' |
8473 | And who was it that had the dashing presumption to do that? |
8473 | Are you acting under a law of the concern?'' |
8473 | Bixby?'' |
8473 | By and by the watchman came back and said--''Did n''t that lunatic tell you he was asleep, when he first came up here?'' |
8473 | Did n''t you KNOW there was no bottom in that crossing?'' |
8473 | Do you mean to say that you do n''t know as much as they do?'' |
8473 | Do you think there is any danger?'' |
8473 | Finally one of the managers bustled up to him and said--''Who IS you, any way? |
8473 | How much will it be?'' |
8473 | I laid in the lead, set the boat in her marks, came ahead on the engines, and said--''It was a fine trick to play on an orphan, WASN''T it? |
8473 | I suppose you know the next crossing?'' |
8473 | Just then the night watchman happened in, and was about to happen out again, when he noticed Ealer and exclaimed--''Who is at the wheel, sir?'' |
8473 | Presently he ventured to remark, with deference--''Pretty good stage of the river now, ai n''t it, sir?'' |
8473 | So they stepped into the association rooms, and the secretary soon satisfied the captain, who said--''Well, what am I to do? |
8473 | W----, do n''t that chute cut off a good deal of distance?'' |
8473 | Well, is n''t there water enough in it now to go through?'' |
8473 | Who IS I? |
8473 | Who is you? |
8473 | Who is your other pilot?'' |
8473 | Why?'' |
8473 | is there no way to save him?'' |
5814 | Where do they get matter to fill up a page in this little island lost in the wastes of the Indian Ocean? 5814 You would n''t expect a person to be proud of being a Mauritian, now would you? |
5814 | But why did the English allow the French to have Madagascar? |
5814 | Could anything be clearer than the Uitlander''s statement of the grievances and oppressions under which they were suffering? |
5814 | Could anything be more legal and citizen- like and law- respecting than their attitude as expressed by their Manifesto? |
5814 | Did I want my boots cleaned? |
5814 | Did she respect a theft of a couple of centuries ago? |
5814 | Did they suppose that the Boers would attack them even for issuing a Manifesto demanding relief under the existing government? |
5814 | Did they suppose that the Boers would attack them for petitioning, for redress? |
5814 | Did we want coffee? |
5814 | Discouragement of railway expansion? |
5814 | Finally, in a pause, a man asked,"Have you heard about the fellow that kept a diary crossing the Atlantic?" |
5814 | Has Miss Sullivan taught her by the methods of India and the American public school? |
5814 | If the 300 had been sent, what good would it have done? |
5814 | In preparing for armed revolution and in talking revolution, were the Reformers"bluffing,"or were they in earnest? |
5814 | La Trappe must have known that there were men who would enjoy this kind of misery, but how did he find it out? |
5814 | Laws denying, representation and suffrage to the intruder? |
5814 | Laws heavily taxing the intruder and overlooking the Boer? |
5814 | Laws inimical to religious liberty? |
5814 | Laws obstructive of gold production? |
5814 | Laws unfriendly to educational institutions? |
5814 | Now what would you expect from that unpromising material? |
5814 | This is the only country in the world where the stranger is not asked"How do you like this place?" |
5814 | To continue the Calcutta exposure:"What is the meaning of a Sheriff?" |
5814 | What is the meaning of''Ich Dien''? |
5814 | What is the secret of his formidable supremacy? |
5814 | What ought you to expect from it? |
5814 | What was their idea? |
5814 | When the captain finishes a statement the passengers glance at each other privately, as who should say,"Do you believe that?" |
5814 | Who was Cardinal Wolsey? |
5814 | Would n''t it be a good idea to put them in order? |
8582 | Bemis, is all that true, just as you have stated it? |
8582 | Did I bring back my horse? |
8582 | Did you ever see the bull again? |
8582 | Forty years? 8582 He ca n''t, ca n''t he? |
8582 | Moses who? |
8582 | Of course-- who else? |
8582 | Take it up in the tree with me? 8582 Well, then, what is the use of your talking that way, then? |
8582 | Well, then, what more do you want? 8582 What did I understand you to say, madam?" |
8582 | And so the first question we asked the conductor whenever we got to where we were to exchange drivers, was always,"Which is him?" |
8582 | As we jogged along, said he:"Now, do you know where the fault lies? |
8582 | Bascom said:"There-- what did I tell you? |
8582 | Because you never saw a thing done, is that any reason why it ca n''t be done?" |
8582 | But do n''t you know that the very thing a man dreads is the thing that always happens? |
8582 | Did I bring back my lariat?" |
8582 | Did you take your saddle up in the tree with you?" |
8582 | How did it happen?" |
8582 | I cautiously unwound the lariat from the pommel of my saddle----""Your saddle? |
8582 | Leg, maybe-- and yet how could he break his leg waltzing along such a road as this? |
8582 | Now, what can be the thoroughbrace of a horse, I wonder? |
8582 | Only three hundred miles? |
8582 | Since you know so much about it, did you ever see a bull try?" |
8582 | Sure enough, it was just as I had dreaded, he started in to climb the tree----""What, the bull?" |
8582 | What did you do?" |
8582 | Wher''d ye come from?" |
8582 | Will no man lend me a pistol?" |
8582 | and the Use Providence Made of Him-- Sad Fate of Wheeler-- Devotion of His Wife-- A Model Monument-- What About the Ram? |
8582 | our sweet- scented, appetite- compelling air of the prairies? |
8582 | what does he know of the feast of fat things?) |
8474 | ''Are you aware that this boat was plowing down the river fully five minutes with no one at the wheel?'' |
8474 | ''Did it knock him down?'' |
8474 | ''Did n''t YOU hear him?'' |
8474 | ''Did you follow it up? |
8474 | ''Did you pound him much?--that is, severely?'' |
8474 | ''Did you strike him first?'' |
8474 | ''Do you know that that is a very serious matter?'' |
8474 | ''Hard?'' |
8474 | ''Pounded him?'' |
8474 | ''What did you do?'' |
8474 | ''What with?'' |
8474 | ''What you standing there for? |
8474 | ''Where was you born?'' |
8474 | AIN''T it now? |
8474 | After a pause--''Where''d you get them shoes?'' |
8474 | Brown?'' |
8474 | Did n''t Henry tell you to land here?'' |
8474 | Did you do anything further?'' |
8474 | Do n''t you hear me? |
8474 | Give him a good sound thrashing, do you hear? |
8474 | Going to run over that snag?'' |
8474 | I said,"It''s my nature; how can I change it?" |
8474 | Now came this shriek--''Here!--You going to set there all day?'' |
8474 | ORDERS, is it? |
8474 | Then--''What''s your name?'' |
8474 | Two minutes later--''WHERE in the nation you going to? |
8474 | What was you doing down there all this time?'' |
8474 | When the leads had been laid in, he resumed--''How long you been on the river?'' |
8474 | Where you going NOW? |
8474 | You going to hold her all day? |
8474 | going to be all DAY getting that hatful of freight out?'' |
8474 | why did n''t you tell me we''d got to land at that plantation?'' |
8471 | ''Did it have its hair parted?'' |
8471 | ''Edward, did the child look like it was choked?'' |
8471 | ''Have you got the papers for them statistics, Edmund?'' |
8471 | ''Him? |
8471 | ''How did you get dry so quick?'' |
8471 | ''Say, Edward, do n''t you reckon you''d better take a pill? |
8471 | ''Say-- what did they do with the bar''l?'' |
8471 | ''WHO was shedding tears?'' |
8471 | ''Well, Aleck, where did you come from, here?'' |
8471 | ''Well, never mind how it could cry-- how could it KEEP all that time?'' |
8471 | ''What are you after here? |
8471 | ''What was the brand on that bar''l, Eddy?'' |
8471 | ''Who are you?'' |
8471 | Been dead three years-- how could it cry?'' |
8471 | But what did you hide for?'' |
8471 | Crippled them how, says you? |
8471 | Going to heave it clear astern? |
8471 | Honest, now, do you live in a scow, or is it a lie?'' |
8471 | How can you tell it''s an empty bar''l?" |
8471 | How long have you been aboard here?'' |
8471 | I says--''"What''s that?" |
8471 | Looky- here; if we let you off this time, will you keep out of these kind of scrapes hereafter?'' |
8471 | Naturally the question suggests itself, Why did these people want the river now when nobody had wanted it in the five preceding generations? |
8471 | To steal?'' |
8471 | What IS your name?'' |
8471 | What did you come aboard here, for? |
8471 | What was it to me that he was soiled and seedy and fragrant with gin? |
8471 | What''s your name?'' |
8471 | You look bad-- do n''t you feel pale?'' |
8471 | says Bob;''was it Allbright or the baby?'' |
5808 | And some tea? |
5808 | Dear, dear, what can we do? |
5808 | Does Robbie Burns say-- what does he say? |
5808 | It does n''t look- oh, how would this do? 5808 Pale? |
5808 | You drink two hot Scotches every night? |
5808 | You eat all kinds of things that are dissatisfied with each other''s company? |
5808 | You take coffee immoderately? |
5808 | And I spoke up and said-- now what did I say? |
5808 | And she said,''Mother, do n''t you know you told him he could drive to see his people, and stay over Sunday?'' |
5808 | Are you in pain?" |
5808 | Are you?" |
5808 | Are you?" |
5808 | But if it is n''t summer, what does it lack?" |
5808 | Clemens?" |
5808 | Did n''t I say,''Providence will provide''?" |
5808 | Did n''t I, Julia Glossop?" |
5808 | Did n''t something tell you?--didn''t you feel that you were sent? |
5808 | Go ashore amongst the cholera and take the risks? |
5808 | He and I together can lift one of the Old People into the buggy; then drive her to my house and----"But who will take care of the other one?" |
5808 | He must have the hat, that was manifest; but how was he to get it? |
5808 | Here at noon what do we see? |
5808 | How, then, could the particles of the original men be searched out from the final conglomerate and put together again? |
5808 | Melbourne and its Attractions-- The Melbourne Cup Races-- Cup Day-- Great Crowds-- Clothes Regardless of Cost-- The Australian Larrikin-- Is He Dead? |
5808 | Now was n''t that remarkable?" |
5808 | Will it be believed that the first thing he did was to destroy his Established Church, root and branch? |
5808 | Would you expect to find in that awful Leper Settlement a custom worthy to be transplanted to your own country? |
5808 | You smoke extravagantly, do n''t you?" |
8588 | And yet, was this joy rounded and complete? 8588 Certain of it? |
8588 | I was a stranger to Mr. Greeley, but what of that? 8588 Major General in the household troops, no doubt? |
8588 | No? 8588 Then the high priest, Hewahewa, inquired of the chiefs,''Where shall be the residence of King Liholiho?'' |
8588 | ( The Sandwich Islanders always squat on their hams, and who knows but they may be the old original"ham sandwiches?" |
8588 | Am I certain of it? |
8588 | Boston, botany, cakes, folony undertakes, but who shall allay? |
8588 | But Admiral, why overlook the Willis and Morgan case in South Carolina? |
8588 | Could n''t you ever cure him of it?" |
8588 | Do you think I''ve been lying about it? |
8588 | First Gentleman of the Bed- chamber? |
8588 | He faced about in his chair and said:"Circumstance? |
8588 | How much oil"--"Oil? |
8588 | It is a large world, too, for a thing to travel so far in-- now is n''t it? |
8588 | Minister of the Interior, likely? |
8588 | Preach in the stone church yonder, no doubt?" |
8588 | Sagacity? |
8588 | Secretary of war? |
8588 | Then Kamehameha inquired,''What do you say?'' |
8588 | Then, observing an enemy approaching,--a hairy tarantula on stilts-- why not set the spittoon on him? |
8588 | Then, who the mischief are you? |
8588 | They replied,''Where, indeed? |
8588 | This traits is characteristic of horse jockeys, the world over, is it not? |
8588 | Was there no secret alloy of unhappiness in it? |
8588 | What circumstance? |
8588 | What do you take me for? |
8588 | What do you take me for? |
8588 | Who, indeed, were the two Massachusetts ministers? |
8588 | and how the mischief did you get here, and where in thunder did you come from?" |
8588 | and who were the two Southern women they burned? |
8588 | what the mischief are you? |
5811 | A good one? |
5811 | As to lights? |
5811 | Bad beds? |
5811 | Bells? |
5811 | But ca n''t I pay the conductor? |
5811 | But who will call me? |
5811 | But who will help me down with my baggage? |
5811 | Do you mean that we are drinking a bogus Veuve- Cliquot over there? |
5811 | Five dollars? 5811 How are the rooms?" |
5811 | Is it easy to be had? |
5811 | Is n''t there any good sand? |
5811 | Suppose you want the chambermaid to empty the slopjar? |
5811 | The pillows, too? |
5811 | Wardrobe? |
5811 | What do you do when you want service? |
5811 | What do you pay for it? |
5811 | What made you think of that? |
5811 | Will they be there again to- night? |
5811 | Yes, but what Prince? |
5811 | A bewitching place, a bewildering place, an enchanting place-- the Arabian Nights come again? |
5811 | And accommodating? |
5811 | And who re- started it? |
5811 | Do men ever turn out better than that-- in America or elsewhere? |
5811 | How do I know? |
5811 | I said,''Is this all you have? |
5811 | I said,''What''s on that pack- horse? |
5811 | I turned to the other gentleman:"Is your friend in the ministry?" |
5811 | I wonder where man will be in another forty- seven years? |
5811 | Is there any gold?'' |
5811 | Killanoola, wherefore Shall the prayer of Penola be scorned? |
5811 | That would change his spirit, perhaps? |
5811 | There are twelve miles of this road which no man without good executive ability can ever hope-- tell me, have you good executive ability? |
5811 | We returned to the others, when Kempthorne said,''What noise was that?'' |
5811 | What was the use of getting him up in that tragic style for so innocent a trade as his? |
5811 | Where is your manager?" |
5811 | You''ve got tickets?" |
5811 | first- rate executive ability?" |
8589 | And did you deem it a fit thing to publish? |
8589 | And do YOU claim the right to make ME come out and deny anything you may choose to write and print? |
8589 | And do you then retract it or not? |
8589 | Did you not see it before it was printed? |
8589 | Do n''t you know that I know they are false? |
8589 | Do you know them to be true? |
8589 | If you are not the author, then I do demand to know who is? |
8589 | Is your laugh hung on a hair- trigger?--that is, is it critical, or can you get it off easy? |
8589 | Why then did you print them? |
8589 | Ah- ah-- again? |
8589 | And did you s''pose the tree could last for- ever, con- found it? |
8589 | Answer me, did n''t I? |
8589 | Are you going to hand out your money or not? |
8589 | But what are either of them compared to the vacant stomach of Haleakala? |
8589 | Come, now, what do you say?" |
8589 | Did n''t I say I wished you could have seen it when I first saw it? |
8589 | Do you want to take any chances with these bloody savages?" |
8589 | Do you want your head blown off? |
8589 | Does any one smile at these last counts? |
8589 | He said:"The time''s up, now, ai nt it?" |
8589 | He then pointed to some numbered paragraphs in a TRIBUNE article, headed"What''s the Matter with Yellow Jacket?" |
8589 | How did they transport and how raise them? |
8589 | I could not sleep-- who could, under such circumstances? |
8589 | I want your final answer-- did you write that article or not?" |
8589 | I''ll put the thing in another shape( and then pointing to the paper); do n''t you know those charges to be false?" |
8589 | Of course the tree was reduced that way, but did n''t I explain it? |
8589 | Then:"Are you going to hand out your money or not?" |
8589 | What could she gain by it, even if she succeeded? |
8589 | Where did these isolated pagans get this idea of a City of Refuge-- this ancient Oriental custom? |
8589 | Why did not Captain Cook have taste enough to call his great discovery the Rainbow Islands? |
8589 | Will you sign or not?" |
8589 | [ He sees doom impending:] WHEN WILL THE CIRCLE JOIN? |
8589 | [ Who received the erroneous telegrams?] |
8589 | do you still refuse?" |
8482 | ''And the boy knew it?'' |
8482 | ''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?'' |
8482 | ''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?'' |
8482 | ''Do you still travel with it?'' |
8482 | ''Everything about what?'' |
8482 | ''Have n''t you the least idea?'' |
8482 | ''Is that so?'' |
8482 | ''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?'' |
8482 | ''Very drunk?'' |
8482 | ''Who is a great manito?'' |
8482 | ''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?'' |
8482 | A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?'' |
8482 | And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green? |
8482 | And what will become of you? |
8482 | But what can you do? |
8482 | Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?'' |
8482 | How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure? |
8482 | I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?'' |
8482 | I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?'' |
8482 | I said--''What is the matter?'' |
8482 | Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?'' |
8482 | Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?'' |
8482 | Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?'' |
8482 | Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?'' |
8482 | The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge? |
8482 | The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there? |
8482 | The man was drunk?'' |
8482 | Well, would it be murder?'' |
8482 | What became of Winona?'' |
8482 | What was to be done''? |
8482 | Why? |
8482 | in this town?'' |
8482 | profit? |
8482 | who can this be he is leading us to?'' |
8482 | who is a manito? |
8472 | ''Do n''t KNOW?'' |
8472 | ''Do you give it as an order?'' |
8472 | ''How on earth am I ever going to learn it, then?'' |
8472 | ''Indeed? |
8472 | ''Learn a new set, then, every year?'' |
8472 | ''Now do n''t you see the difference? |
8472 | ''Pretty square crossing, an''t it?'' |
8472 | ''What DO you know?'' |
8472 | ''What''s the name of the NEXT point?'' |
8472 | ''Why?'' |
8472 | ''Why?'' |
8472 | ''Yes, but suppose the leads lie? |
8472 | ''You did n''t? |
8472 | ''You-- you-- don''t know?'' |
8472 | And does n''t he sometimes wonder whether he has gained most or lost most by learning his trade? |
8472 | Are not all her visible charms sown thick with what are to him the signs and symbols of hidden decay? |
8472 | Are there many of them?'' |
8472 | Did n''t I tell you that a man''s got to know the river in the night the same as he''d know his own front hall?'' |
8472 | Did you ever know of a boat following a bend up- stream at this stage of the river?'' |
8472 | Do you see that stump on the false point?'' |
8472 | Do you see where the line fringes out at the upper end and begins to fade away?'' |
8472 | Does he ever see her beauty at all, or does n''t he simply view her professionally, and comment upon her unwholesome condition all to himself? |
8472 | Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways? |
8472 | He opened on me after this fashion--''How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole- in- the- Wall, trip before last?'' |
8472 | How am I ever going to tell them apart?'' |
8472 | How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that?'' |
8472 | How high was the bank along here last trip?'' |
8472 | Is the river rising or falling?'' |
8472 | Meet any boats?'' |
8472 | Mr. Bixby said to the mate:--''Upper end of the plantation, or the lower?'' |
8472 | One day he said--''What is the height of that bank yonder, at Burgess''s?'' |
8472 | One day he turned on me suddenly with this settler--''What is the shape of Walnut Bend?'' |
8472 | One visitor said to another--''Jim, how did you run Plum Point, coming up?'' |
8472 | Presently he turned on me and said:--''What''s the name of the first point above New Orleans?'' |
8472 | So he began--''Do you see that long slanting line on the face of the water? |
8472 | The voice of the invisible watchman called up from the hurricane deck--''What''s this, sir?'' |
8472 | We are drawing-- how much?'' |
8472 | What are you standing up through the middle of the river for?'' |
8472 | What did you suppose he wanted to know for?'' |
8472 | What do you start out from, above Twelve- Mile Point, to cross over?'' |
8472 | What do you suppose I told you the names of those points for?'' |
8472 | What does that signify?'' |
8472 | Why, what could you want over here in the bend, then? |
8472 | Will it keep the same form and not go fooling around?'' |
8472 | an''t the new cub turned out yet? |
8585 | But what kind? |
8585 | Cal., what kind of a house are you going to build? |
8585 | Cal., when are you going to Europe? |
8585 | Did n''t say nothing but that? |
8585 | Going to be gone all summer? |
8585 | Mr. Arkansas, if you''d only let me--"Who''s a henderin''you? 8585 No-- but are you in earnest?" |
8585 | Steamer of the 10th? |
8585 | Too much climbing? 8585 Was that all that you said?" |
8585 | Well then why d''n''t you say it? 8585 Well, do you know that you have got one of the most expensive and arduous undertakings before you that was ever conceived by man?" |
8585 | What is? |
8585 | What part of Europe shall you go to? |
8585 | Where are you going to live? |
8585 | Why no-- how is that? |
8585 | Why? 8585 Ai n''t it so, Smith? 8585 Ai n''t it? 8585 Ai n''t this company agreeable to you? 8585 Are you? 8585 But what is the use? 8585 Did n''t I say, no longer ago than last night, that for a man that was a gentleman all the time and every way you took him, give me Arkansas? 8585 Do you hear him talk about bloodshed? 8585 How did they get there? 8585 How much did I want? 8585 I''m the man, am I? 8585 If there''s got to be bloodshed--"Do you hear that, gentlemen? 8585 Is that it? 8585 Is that what you''re coming at? |
8585 | Is that your idea? |
8585 | It''s me you''re goin''to murder, is it? |
8585 | Now you know that I ai n''t the man to--""Are you a threatenin''me? |
8585 | Once Higbie said:"When are you going home-- to the States?" |
8585 | Said he:"Wha- what do you know a-- about Pennsylvania? |
8585 | Sha n''t you keep a carriage?" |
8585 | Then came a white upheaval at my side, and a voice said, with bitterness:"Will some gentleman be so good as to kick me behind?" |
8585 | Then he said to the men:"So you have taken a contract to run a tunnel into this hill two hundred and fifty feet to strike this ledge?" |
8585 | Wha-- what do you know''bout Pennsylvania?" |
8585 | What did you come swellin''around that way for, and tryin''to raise trouble?" |
8585 | What do you say?" |
8585 | What is your idea?" |
8585 | What''s the matter with you this mornin'', anyway? |
8585 | When are you?" |
8585 | You want us to leave do you? |
8585 | You was only goin''to say-- what was you goin''to say? |
8477 | ''Ah-- stabbed, do you mean?'' |
8477 | ''Brandy? |
8477 | ''Carried the WHOLE town away?-banks, churches, jails, newspaper- offices, court- house, theater, fire department, livery stable EVERYTHING?'' |
8477 | ''Dead?'' |
8477 | ''Failed to escape?--caught in the act and shot?'' |
8477 | ''Go ashore where?'' |
8477 | ''How, then?'' |
8477 | ''Napoleon?'' |
8477 | ''No? |
8477 | ''Serious? |
8477 | ''Well, by---?'' |
8477 | ''Why does he mix such elaborate and picturesque drinks for the nigger hands on the boat?'' |
8477 | ''Why, hang it, do n''t you know? |
8477 | And where so many are saying their say, shall not the barkeeper testify? |
8477 | But if he wait? |
8477 | Ca n''t a man go ashore at Napoleon if he wants to?'' |
8477 | Can you divine what my first thought was? |
8477 | Could you have endured an hour of it, do you think? |
8477 | Did I appeal to the law-- I? |
8477 | Does it quench the pauper''s thirst if the King drink for him? |
8477 | From them might not almost anybody reproduce for himself the life of that time in Vicksburg? |
8477 | Good liquors? |
8477 | How accomplish this, do you say? |
8477 | How strangely things repeat themselves, after long years; for MY hands were tied, that night, you remember? |
8477 | I said--''Come, what is all this about? |
8477 | I said--''What, then-- didn''t he escape?'' |
8477 | If he make ten voyages in succession-- what then? |
8477 | On the other boats? |
8477 | Presently the poet inquired--''Are you going to send it to him right away?'' |
8477 | Rogers said--''Who would have had ANY if it had n''t been for me? |
8477 | So I inquired about this thing; asked what resulted usually? |
8477 | Take a look behind you-- up- stream-- now you begin to recognize this country, do n''t you?'' |
8477 | The captain laughed; but seeing that I was not in a jovial mood, stopped that and said--''But are you serious?'' |
8477 | This man had kept a diary during-- six weeks? |
8477 | Three hours--? |
8477 | What happened, then?'' |
8477 | What was my idea in this nonsense? |
8477 | What, you can not? |
8477 | You give a nigger a plain gill of half- a- dollar brandy for five cents-- will he touch it? |
8477 | Your teeth chatter-- then why can not you shout? |
8477 | profit?'' |
5809 | All right, what will you give? |
5809 | And keep it? 5809 But what about your shark?" |
5809 | He wo n''t go? 5809 How do you know I wo n''t make it worse?" |
5809 | Later news? 5809 Oh, in- deed? |
5809 | Say-- Mark!--is he dead? |
5809 | The shark? 5809 What do you bring that kind of a message here for? |
5809 | What is your name? |
5809 | What use is he? 5809 What, the whole of it?" |
5809 | What, you are not going? |
5809 | With him? 5809 --when probably nothing of the kind happened; for how should he know? 5809 Am I excited? 5809 And if you had it, what would you do with it? |
5809 | And what was the origin of this majestic city and its efflorescence of palatial town houses and country seats? |
5809 | Come, who are you?" |
5809 | Do n''t you know that we can go and report him to Government, and you''ll get a clean solid eighty shillings bounty? |
5809 | Do you know what our crop is going to foot up?" |
5809 | Does he say he wo n''t go?" |
5809 | Dress? |
5809 | Have you the gates?''" |
5809 | How do you know?" |
5809 | How then shall he determine which gods are the stronger, his own or those that preside over the concerns of other nations? |
5809 | I wonder where they get railroad coffee? |
5809 | Is he crazy?" |
5809 | Is that what you mean?" |
5809 | My first thought was, why did n''t he have the coffin opened? |
5809 | Now then-- just for curiosity''s sake-- what has sent you to me on this extraordinary errand?" |
5809 | Now wherein does one cow- track differ from another? |
5809 | Now, then, do you know what the margins would foot up, to buy it at sixty days?" |
5809 | Overshadows them? |
5809 | Shall he place his fate in the hands of weak gods when there may be stronger ones to be found? |
5809 | Then aloud,"Well, my good fellow, be quick about it; do n''t waste any words; what is it you want?" |
5809 | Then where was the use in harrying a ghost? |
5809 | Well, why, do n''t you jump? |
5809 | What are you writing?" |
5809 | What did you say your name is?" |
5809 | What do you think about it now?" |
5809 | What does he say he wants?" |
5809 | What is the matter with the specter? |
5809 | What is your scheme?" |
5809 | Where did you get it?" |
5809 | Where is the use in getting excited? |
5809 | Who handled the cat? |
5809 | Why do they puff him away? |
5809 | Why would you buy the crop, and why would you make that sum out of it? |
5809 | Why, what use is he to me?" |
5812 | He did, did he? |
5812 | How do you mean? |
5812 | I know; but how did you get the name? |
5812 | I mane, why wudn''t he put his naime to ut? |
5812 | Is this all? |
5812 | Is ut his own handwrite? |
5812 | Master? |
5812 | Oh, he did, did he? |
5812 | Oh, he does, does he? |
5812 | Oh, ye have, have ye? |
5812 | Well, you''ll never get in"Why? |
5812 | Well-- then-- how-- did-- your-- father-- get-- his name? |
5812 | What business? |
5812 | What does he want to see ye about? |
5812 | What is it, Satan? |
5812 | Who? |
5812 | Why, what is the trouble? |
5812 | Ye are? 5812 And not with marked courtesy of tone:Well, sor, what will you have?" |
5812 | And what is it?" |
5812 | And when a mad elephant goes raging through, belting right and left with his trunk, how do these swarms of people get out of the way? |
5812 | Are ye in the business?" |
5812 | Are ye in the show business yerself?" |
5812 | But a native official, who had a green flag in his hand, saw me, and said politely:"Do n''t you belong in the train, sir?" |
5812 | But how is it you are here? |
5812 | Dear me, ca n''t you explain? |
5812 | Did they purpose training them up as Thugs? |
5812 | He said:"It''s not an aisy one to spell; how do you pronounce ut?" |
5812 | How could they take care of such little creatures on a march which stretched over several months? |
5812 | How did people come to drift into such a strange custom? |
5812 | How did you get by that Irishman? |
5812 | How did you get your English; is it an acquirement, or just a gift of God?" |
5812 | How do you think Satan would do?" |
5812 | How is that?" |
5812 | I show him up, master?" |
5812 | Is that a slur? |
5812 | One more thing: Why was such a cruel death chosen-- why would n''t a gentle one have answered? |
5812 | That is your secret? |
5812 | The hundredth can keep it-- how long? |
5812 | These silent crowds sat there with their humble bundles and baskets and small household gear about them, and patiently waited-- for what? |
5812 | They had n''t timed themselves well, but that was no matter-- the thing had been so ordered from on high, therefore why worry? |
5812 | Was n''t it curious-- and amazing, and tremendous, and all that? |
5812 | Was that it? |
5812 | Was that proposition the equivalent of inviting European ladies to assemble scantily and scandalously clothed in the seclusion of a private park? |
5812 | Well, then, why ud he write it like that?" |
5812 | What are you doing here? |
5812 | What did they do with those poor little fellows? |
5812 | What is it ye want to see him about?" |
5812 | What is your name?" |
5812 | What was the fascination, what was the impulse? |
5812 | What was the origin of the idea? |
5812 | What was their subsequent history? |
5812 | When he rose to say good- bye, the door swung open and I caught the flash of a red fez, and heard these words, reverently said--"Satan see God out?" |
5812 | Would you have been? |
5812 | Would you mind giving a guess, if ye''ll be so good?" |
5812 | and what is it that can not happen in India? |
5812 | but is this for all certainty, is this the sentence of death? |
5810 | ''Him? 5810 And you''ll shake hands with me?" |
5810 | Correspondence? |
5810 | Did n''t do what? |
5810 | Honor bright-- you have n''t? 5810 I-- er-- but have n''t you got anything against us?" |
5810 | I? 5810 Is that so? |
5810 | What? 5810 Where are your guns?" |
5810 | Where your little guns? |
5810 | You? 5810 And of course you had n''t had you? |
5810 | As we drove off I had only time to say,''Why, what do you know about him?'' |
5810 | But I was calm; so I said softly, and without acrimony:"''Which fox?'' |
5810 | But what would Ed do when he got back to Memphis? |
5810 | But----""Well, then, what have you got against me? |
5810 | Did what he said leave an impression upon you?" |
5810 | Do you know that extraordinary man?" |
5810 | Do you know who it was? |
5810 | Had the boys all gone mad? |
5810 | Had you any conversation with him?" |
5810 | Have we met before?" |
5810 | He says he says-- why, who is it?" |
5810 | How could they stoop down and get it, with only two feet of space to stoop in? |
5810 | How did they keep that sand- pipe from caving in on them? |
5810 | How did they throw sand out from such a depth? |
5810 | I do n''t know why; and he thundered out:"''WHICH fox? |
5810 | I have read somewhere that an acute observer among the early explorers-- Cook? |
5810 | Now how much should you say it is worth?" |
5810 | Presently there was an interruption by the chief:"Who are you?" |
5810 | She said:"''He spoke to you!--didn''t he?'' |
5810 | Tell me-- what do you think of him?'' |
5810 | Then he said:"Do you remember Corrigan Castle?" |
5810 | Was Fairchild crazy? |
5810 | We brewed and lit up; then he passed a sheet of note- paper to me and said--"Do you remember that?" |
5810 | We talked of the people we had known there, or had casually met; and G. said:"Do you remember my introducing you to an earl-- the Earl of C.?" |
5810 | What could be the explanation of this extraordinary conduct? |
5810 | What could be the meaning of this? |
5810 | What did he talk about?" |
5810 | What did you talk about?" |
5810 | What do you all treat me so for?" |
5810 | What have I done?" |
5810 | What is the secret of the feat? |
5810 | What makes you all act so? |
5810 | What put such a thing into your head?" |
5810 | What''s the matter?" |
5810 | When I delivered the letter----""Did you deliver it?" |
5810 | When he was going, he turned and said:"You do n''t remember me?" |
5810 | Where?" |
5810 | Which way did the FOX go?'' |
5810 | Why, THE fox? |
5810 | You observe the combination? |
5810 | Youth and gaiety might vanish, any day-- and then, what is left? |
5810 | said I,"how did you come by this?" |
8586 | A what? |
8586 | Am I the-- pardon me, I believe I do not understand? |
8586 | And can I take him up the shore and hang him as soon as you are done? |
8586 | Are you comfortable? |
8586 | Certainly he did; but you are not thinking of hanging him without a trial? |
8586 | Could you wait a little? |
8586 | Dead before? 8586 Did n''t I say I was going to hang him? |
8586 | Have you formed or expressed opinions about it? |
8586 | Have you held conversations upon the subject? |
8586 | Have you read the newspaper accounts of it? |
8586 | How? 8586 How? |
8586 | How? |
8586 | Never shook his mother? |
8586 | Not people of any repute? |
8586 | Oh, you do? 8586 On it? |
8586 | Scooped him? |
8586 | The which? |
8586 | Thrown up the sponge? |
8586 | Well, but why should he shake her? |
8586 | What did I understand you to say? |
8586 | What do you want aboard this ship? |
8586 | What''s this for? |
8586 | Why? 8586 A good man, says you? 8586 And ai n''t they cool about it, too? 8586 Are there no hay wagons in from the Truckee? 8586 Are you going to hang him any how-- and try him afterward? |
8586 | Assist at the obsequies?" |
8586 | Begin again?" |
8586 | But did n''t he kill the nigger?" |
8586 | But why go on? |
8586 | Can not you simplify them in some way? |
8586 | Could you say it over once more, and say it slow?" |
8586 | Did n''t he kill the nigger?" |
8586 | Do you reckon a man has got as many lives as a cat? |
8586 | Great Neptune, ai n''t he guilty? |
8586 | Had deceased any religious convictions? |
8586 | He said:"Do you see that ship there at the dock?" |
8586 | How long will it take?" |
8586 | I had been a private secretary, a silver miner and a silver mill operative, and amounted to less than nothing in each, and now-- What to do next? |
8586 | I said:"Higbie, what-- what is it?" |
8586 | If an unknown individual arrived, they did not inquire if he was capable, honest, industrious, but-- had he killed his man? |
8586 | If his Sunday- school class progressed faster than the other classes, was it matter for wonder? |
8586 | It''s a kind of a hard world, after all, ai n''t it? |
8586 | Ned said:"Who goes there?" |
8586 | Now if we can get you to help plant him--""Preach the funeral discourse? |
8586 | On what?" |
8586 | Presently a head appeared in the circle of daylight away aloft, and a voice came down:"Are you all set?" |
8586 | Said Col. Jack:"Ai n''t it gay, though? |
8586 | See?" |
8586 | That is to say, did he feel a dependence upon, or acknowledge allegiance to a higher power?" |
8586 | Then he talked an earnest, persuasive sermon to him, and ended by repeating the question:"Did you kill the nigger?" |
8586 | Then in a whisper to Col. Jim:"But ai n''t these New Yorkers friendly? |
8586 | Then to Col. Jim, with a sounding slap on his thigh:"Ai n''t it style, though? |
8586 | What I was a drivin''at, was, that he never throwed off on his mother--don''t you see? |
8586 | What could the world do without juries? |
8586 | What did I understand you to say?" |
8586 | What do I want to try him for, if he killed the nigger?" |
8586 | What else could one expect? |
8586 | What to do next? |
8586 | What would the boys say if they could see us cutting a swell like this in New York? |
8586 | What''ll you take-- the old thing?" |
8586 | What''s the difference? |
8586 | Where are you going?" |
8586 | Why could not the jury law be so altered as to give men of brains and honesty and equal chance with fools and miscreants? |
8586 | Why did you not say so before? |
8586 | Why, has he ever been dead before?" |
8586 | Why? |
8586 | Yes, you see he''s dead again--""Again? |
8586 | You killed the nigger?" |
8586 | You see, one of the boys has gone up the flume--""Gone where?" |
3463 | Are you Horace Bigsby''s cub? |
3463 | Can I have it-- can Clara and I have it all for our own? |
3463 | Did I ever tell you the plot of it? 3463 Did it knock him down?" |
3463 | Did n''t Henry tell you to land here? |
3463 | Did n''t you hear him? |
3463 | Did you do that? |
3463 | Did you ever do any steering? |
3463 | Did you follow it up? 3463 Did you pound him much-- that is, severely?" |
3463 | Do n''t you know I have only talked as yet, but proved nothing? 3463 Do n''t you understand, Youth?" |
3463 | Do n''t you understand? 3463 Do you chew?" |
3463 | Do you drink? |
3463 | Do you gamble? |
3463 | Do you know the Bowen boys? |
3463 | Do you swear? |
3463 | George,he said,"what pictures are these that gentleman left?" |
3463 | Hard? |
3463 | Have n''t you any other friend that you could suggest? |
3463 | How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 3463 How much do you think it ought to be, Mark?" |
3463 | How on earth am I going to learn it, then? |
3463 | How would you like a young man to learn the river? |
3463 | If they want letters from here-- who''ll run from morning till night collecting material cheaper? 3463 Oh Youth, have you done anything?" |
3463 | Pounded him? |
3463 | Some one you know? |
3463 | Was it Grady that killed himself trying to do all the dining and speeching? 3463 What are you reading, Sam?" |
3463 | What did you do? |
3463 | What do they mean by that? |
3463 | What do you know? |
3463 | What in the nation you steerin''at, anyway? 3463 What is your name?" |
3463 | What makes you pull your words that way? |
3463 | What will you have, Sam? |
3463 | What with? |
3463 | What''s the name of the next point? |
3463 | What-- do you-- charge? |
3463 | Who was it? |
3463 | Whose name was that we were just applauding? |
3463 | Why do n''t you light it yourself? |
3463 | Why,he said, holding out his hand,"you did not tell us you were coming?" |
3463 | You''re Secesh, ai n''t you? |
3463 | A man with him asked:"Who''s Mark Twain?" |
3463 | And the final heartsick line,"Do n''t you suppose they have pretty much quit writing at home?" |
3463 | Are you?" |
3463 | As we turned into the lane that led to Stormfield he said:"Can we see where you have built your billiard- room?" |
3463 | At a party one night, being urged to make a conundrum, he said:"Well, why am I like the Pacific Ocean?" |
3463 | Brown said, fiercely,"Here, why did n''t you tell me we had got to land at that plantation?" |
3463 | Clemens asked,"You''ve heard from those gentlemen out there?" |
3463 | Clemens, just then coming to say good- night, saw a little group gathered about her bed, and heard Clara ask:"Katy, is it true? |
3463 | Did you do anything further?" |
3463 | Did you have any bets on us?" |
3463 | Do n''t you know I have never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me? |
3463 | Do you hear me? |
3463 | Do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be? |
3463 | Favored by fortune, beloved by millions, honored now even in the highest places, what more had life to give? |
3463 | Give him a good, sound thrashing, do you hear? |
3463 | He wrote, too, now and then, and finished the little book called"Is Shakespeare Dead?" |
3463 | Helen Keller wrote:"And you are seventy years old? |
3463 | How do you run Plum Point?" |
3463 | I think he added one or two other remarks, then all at once, turning upon me those piercing agate- blue eyes, he said:"When would you like to begin?" |
3463 | It only costs them$ 1 apiece, and, if they ca n''t stand it, what do they stay here for?" |
3463 | Livy, what can I do?" |
3463 | Mark Twain, in the"Mississippi"boot remembers them as follows:"Did you strike him first?" |
3463 | Oh, Katy, is it true?" |
3463 | Once, when his lecture was over, an old man came up to him and said:"Be them your natural tones of eloquence?" |
3463 | Or is the report exaggerated, like that of your death? |
3463 | Summoned to go at last, he chided himself for staying so long; but she said there was no harm and kissed him, saying,"you will come back?" |
3463 | Tell us, Mark, why are you like the Pacific Ocean?" |
3463 | That morning when the dictation ended he said:"Have you any special place to lunch, to- day?" |
3463 | Then Mr. Goodman said:"Of course, Artemus, it''s all right, but why did you give us Upper Canada?" |
3463 | Then he would be likely to say:"Why did n''t you stop me? |
3463 | Then:"Look here, what do you suppose I told you the names of those points for?" |
3463 | Waiting his turn at the booking- desk, he heard a newspaper man inquire:"What notables are going?" |
3463 | Was it fate or Providence that suddenly placed it in his hands? |
3463 | Was it swept out of a bank, or caught up by the wind from some counting- room table? |
3463 | What do you start from, above Twelve Mile Point, to cross over?" |
3463 | What name do you want to use Josh?" |
3463 | What was its origin? |
3463 | Where are you going now? |
3463 | Where is it Orion''s going to? |
3463 | Where you headin''for now?" |
3463 | Who knows? |
3463 | Why did you let me go on making a donkey of myself when you could have saved me?" |
3463 | Would you like a series of papers to run through three months, or six, or nine-- or about four months, say?" |
3463 | he asked,"pilots in the St. Louis and New Orleans trade?" |
8479 | ''A dark and dreadful one?'' |
8479 | ''Account for it? |
8479 | ''And the boy knew it?'' |
8479 | ''And what''s the other?'' |
8479 | ''Brothers,''said the leader,''has never any one of you, when fasting, dreamed of some friendly spirit who would aid you as a guardian?'' |
8479 | ''Dashed who in pieces-- her parents?'' |
8479 | ''Do you still travel with it?'' |
8479 | ''Everything about what?'' |
8479 | ''Have n''t you the least idea?'' |
8479 | ''How do you account for it?'' |
8479 | ''How is that?'' |
8479 | ''Is that so?'' |
8479 | ''Is that so?'' |
8479 | ''No, indeed,''said one of the others,''do you not know we were all killed, and that it is our sister who has brought us to life?'' |
8479 | ''Very drunk?'' |
8479 | ''Well, what are they?'' |
8479 | ''Well,''said I,''if you are so light- hearted and jolly in ordinary times, what must you be in an epidemic?'' |
8479 | ''Which one?'' |
8479 | ''Who is a great manito?'' |
8479 | ''Why did n''t you see them Roman soldiers that stood back there in a rank, and sometimes marched in procession around the stage?'' |
8479 | ''Wish you may die in your tracks if you have?'' |
8479 | A citizen asked,''Do you remember when Jimmy Finn, the town drunkard, was burned to death in the calaboose?'' |
8479 | And above Winona you''ll have lovely prairies; and then come the Thousand Islands, too beautiful for anything; green? |
8479 | And what did the husband do? |
8479 | And what will become of you? |
8479 | Are you happy? |
8479 | At last he said in a low voice--''My little friend, can you keep a secret?'' |
8479 | But what can you do? |
8479 | Do all the good people go to your place? |
8479 | Do all whom you send from Hartford serve their Master as well? |
8479 | Do n''t it occur to you, why?'' |
8479 | Do you know how the man came to be burned up in the calaboose?'' |
8479 | How can I give what I would have done with so much pleasure? |
8479 | How do you amuse yourself? |
8479 | How is that? |
8479 | How long have you been in the spirit land? |
8479 | I asked him various questions; first about a mate of mine in Sunday school-- what became of him? |
8479 | I do n''t mean HIS act, I mean yours: would you be a murderer for letting him have that pistol?'' |
8479 | I met him on the street the next morning, and before I could speak, he asked--''Did you see me?'' |
8479 | I said, with admiration--''Why, how in the world did you ever guess it?'' |
8479 | I said--''What is the matter?'' |
8479 | Is n''t that a good deal of a triumph? |
8479 | Is not this true? |
8479 | Is she the maiden of the rock?--and are the two connected by legend?'' |
8479 | Is there much profit on a coffin?'' |
8479 | Now, is that boy a murderer, do you think?'' |
8479 | Presently he asked--''Are you going to give him up to the law?'' |
8479 | Quick-- out with it-- what did I say?'' |
8479 | Some talk followed--''Why-- what should make you suspect that it is n''t genuine?'' |
8479 | The burden of my thought was, How much did I divulge? |
8479 | The chief, looking around, and observing the woman, after some time said to the man who came with her:''Who have you got there? |
8479 | The man was drunk?'' |
8479 | Then this one has actually forgotten the date of its translation to the spirit land? |
8479 | To- day I heard a schoolmistress ask,''Where is John gone?'' |
8479 | Unhandkerchiefs one eye, bats it around tearfully over the stock; says--''"And fhat might ye ask for that wan?" |
8479 | Very well, then, when did you pass away? |
8479 | Well, then, what year was it? |
8479 | Well, when you come to look at it all around, and chew at it and think it over, do n''t it just bang anything you ever heard of?'' |
8479 | Well, would it be murder?'' |
8479 | What became of Winona?'' |
8479 | What do you drink? |
8479 | What do you eat there? |
8479 | What do you read? |
8479 | What do you smoke? |
8479 | What do you talk about? |
8479 | What else? |
8479 | What is it?'' |
8479 | What was to be done''? |
8479 | When did the r disappear from Southern speech, and how did it come to disappear? |
8479 | When did you die? |
8479 | When your friends in the earth all get to the spirit land, what shall you have to talk about then?--nothing but about how happy you all are? |
8479 | Where are you? |
8479 | Where did you get all this youth and bubbling cheerfulness? |
8479 | Why? |
8479 | Would you like to come back? |
8479 | Would you say that under oath? |
8479 | You hear gentlemen say,''Where have you been at?'' |
8479 | in this town?'' |
8479 | profit? |
8479 | who can this be he is leading us to?'' |
8479 | who is a manito? |
2984 | And the children-- Miss Susie and little Clara? |
2984 | Cable,he said,"do you know anything about this book, the Arthurian legends of Sir Thomas Malory, Morte Arthure?" |
2984 | Did you ever hear of Mark Twain? |
2984 | Do you expect to pay extra fare? |
2984 | Do you mean to say that you''re not going to vote for him? |
2984 | George,he said,"what pictures are those that gentleman left?" |
2984 | Hain''t we all the fools in town on our side? 2984 I said,''Who the h-- l are you? |
2984 | M.--What does it mean? 2984 MAMA-- What did you say? |
2984 | Oh, Youth, have you done anything? |
2984 | Well,he said,"who told you you could go in this car?" |
2984 | What are you doing here? |
2984 | What would you give for a copy? |
2984 | Which way did he go, Youth? |
2984 | Who is he, George? |
2984 | Who-- who in the world is that? |
2984 | And what the flavor can surpass Of sugar, spirit, lemons? |
2984 | As Annie was about to kiss it he suddenly withdrew his hand and said,"And will you, a little Protestant, kiss the Pope''s ring?" |
2984 | At one meal-- or, if you prefer, during one day-- how many men will he eat if fresh?" |
2984 | By and by this investor, returning from Europe, dropped in and said:"Well, did anything happen?" |
2984 | By the way, third''s a lucky number for length of days, is n''t it? |
2984 | Can Clara and I have it all for our own?" |
2984 | Can you conceive of a man''s getting himself into a sweat over so diminutive a provocation? |
2984 | Clemens?" |
2984 | Clemens?" |
2984 | Curious, but did n''t Florence want a Cromwell? |
2984 | Did I ever tell you the plot of it? |
2984 | Do n''t you feel well?" |
2984 | Do n''t you know it''s Mark Twain and that he''ll talk all night?" |
2984 | Do n''t you know they are calling for you?" |
2984 | Have you been secreted in the closet or lurking on the shed roof? |
2984 | He had never had a lesson, she said; if he could only have lessons what might he not accomplish? |
2984 | He said to himself:"Why did n''t I go now? |
2984 | He said:"''You thought you were playing a nice joke on me, did n''t you? |
2984 | He seemed surprised and said:"Oh, but he does n''t like that sort of thing, does he?" |
2984 | He went in with his best,"Well, what can I do for you?" |
2984 | He wrote, asking Howells: Will the proposed treaty protect us( and effectually) against Canadian piracy? |
2984 | Here he paused a moment:"Mr. Clemens, will you tell me where Mr. Charles Dudley Warner lives?" |
2984 | How can a body help it? |
2984 | How do I account for this change of view? |
2984 | How do you explain this?" |
2984 | How do you run Plum Point?" |
2984 | How many Bibles would he eat at a meal?" |
2984 | How should he?" |
2984 | I naturally said,"What do you mean? |
2984 | If base music gives me wings, why should I want any other? |
2984 | If we made this colonel a grand fellow, and gave him a wife to suit-- hey? |
2984 | In February he addressed the Monday Evening Club on"What is Happiness?" |
2984 | In the accompanying note he said: Say, Boss, do you want this to lighten up your old freight- train with? |
2984 | Land sakes, Livy, what can I do?" |
2984 | Livy screamed, then said,"Who is it? |
2984 | Mama said,"Why do n''t you try''mind cure''?" |
2984 | Mrs. Clemens looked at him gravely:"George,"she said,"did n''t I discharge you yesterday?" |
2984 | Next day he asked,"Katie, did you see my pipe- cleaner? |
2984 | Now what is it? |
2984 | Now, young men, if any of you were in command of such a fortress, how would you proceed?'' |
2984 | On another: Have you seen any portion of the second volume? |
2984 | One day Clemens sand to him:"Cable, why do you sit in here? |
2984 | Rose Terry Cooke wrote: Horrid man, how did you know the way I behave in a thunderstorm? |
2984 | Shall we think this over, or drop it as being nonsense? |
2984 | She ran breathlessly to her aunt:"Can I have it? |
2984 | She said,"Are you hunting for it with a club?" |
2984 | She said,"Why, Jean, what''s the matter? |
2984 | The inspector asks:"Now what does this elephant eat, and how much?" |
2984 | The other letter mentioned was written to the''Christian Union'', inspired by a tale entitled,"What Ought We to Have Done?" |
2984 | Then he asked solemnly:"And is he never serious?" |
2984 | Then he says: Why do I offer him the play at all? |
2984 | They shook hands; there was a pause of a moment, then Grant said, looking at him gravely:"Mr. Clemens, I am not embarrassed, are you?" |
2984 | This is my work, and I know that I do very wrong when I feel chafed by it, but how can I be right about it? |
2984 | Thomas Hardy said to Howells one night at dinner:"Why do n''t people understand that Mark Twain is not merely a great humorist? |
2984 | To a woman who wrote, asking for his opinion on dogs, he said, in part: By what right has the dog come to be regarded as a"noble"animal? |
2984 | Twain expect the public to credit this narrative to his clever brain? |
2984 | Was hast du gesagt?" |
2984 | What did you do with him?" |
2984 | What do you think the General wanted to require of me?'' |
2984 | What does it mean, Susy? |
2984 | What is the matter?" |
2984 | What nationalities would he prefer?" |
2984 | When we entered, and Mrs. Clemens read on Shakespeare''s grave,''Good friend, for Jesus''sake, forbear,''she started back, exclaiming,''where am I?'' |
2984 | Where did you ever see it before?" |
2984 | Who knows? |
2984 | Why did n''t I go with her now?" |
2984 | Why do n''t you come here and take a foretaste of Heaven?" |
2984 | Why should Darwin have gone to them for rest and refreshment at midnight, when spent with scientific research? |
2984 | Why, in fine, should an English chief- justice keep Mark Twain''s books always at hand? |
2984 | Will you return those proofs or revises to me, so that I can use the same on some future occasion? |
2984 | You hold her, will you, till I come back?'' |
2984 | You note that position? |
2984 | and ai n''t that a big enough majority in any town?" |
2984 | do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be? |
2984 | presenting a theory which in later years he developed as a part of his"gospel,"and promulgated in a privately printed volume,''What is Man''? |
2984 | where is he? |
3195 | ( How does that make you feel? |
3195 | And did you question the propriety of it? |
3195 | And it seemed to me that now that the fourth act is so successfully written, why not go ahead and write the 3 preceding acts? |
3195 | And why not write Howard? |
3195 | And why should n''t it be? |
3195 | Are you in the new house? |
3195 | But what I am coming at, is this: wo n''t you and Mrs. Howells come down Saturday the 22nd and remain to the Club on Monday night? |
3195 | Ca n''t you let him fall in the canal occasionally? |
3195 | Ca n''t you let him feed the doves? |
3195 | Ca n''t you let him find peace and rest and fellowship under Pere Jacopo''s kindly wing? |
3195 | Ca n''t you let his good- natured purse be a daily prey to guides and beggar- boys? |
3195 | Can you and Hay go? |
3195 | Can you conceive of a man''s getting himself into a sweat over so diminutive a provocation? |
3195 | Clemens said that when he took the Jumping Frog book to Carlton, in 1867, the latter, pointing to his stock, said, rather scornfully: “ Books? |
3195 | Could n''t you come now and mull over the alterations which you are going to make in your MS, and make them after you go back? |
3195 | Could you? |
3195 | Did I ever tell you the plot of it? |
3195 | Did that break up the enterprise? |
3195 | Did the report go, nevertheless? |
3195 | Did you ever see the grotesquely absurd and the heart- breakingly pathetic more closely joined together? |
3195 | Did you? |
3195 | Do n''t you see, the book( 1800 MS pages,) may really be finished before I ever get to Switzerland? |
3195 | Do not you believe that if Mr. Edmunds would consent to run for President, on the Independent ticket-- even at this late day-- he might be elected? |
3195 | Drop me an immediate line about this, wo n''t you? |
3195 | Earl of Onston-- is that it? |
3195 | Fred Grant? ” “ Yes. |
3195 | Good excitable, inflammable material? |
3195 | Has n''t he had any lessons? ” No. |
3195 | Have I got the dates and things right? |
3195 | How does Washington promise as to that? |
3195 | If this is so, suppose you meet Osgood and me in New Orleans early in May-- say somewhere between the 1st and 6th? |
3195 | If you have n''t used Orion or Old Wakeman, do n''t you think you and I can get together and grind out a play with one of those fellows in it? |
3195 | Is n''t human nature the most consummate sham and lie that was ever invented? |
3195 | Is n''t man a creature to be ashamed of in pretty much all his aspects? |
3195 | Livy screamed, then said, “ Who is that? |
3195 | MY DEAR HOWELLS,--.... Who taught you to read? |
3195 | MY DEAR HOWELLS,--I shall reach Boston on Monday the 8th, either at 4:30 p.m. or 6 p.m.( Which is best?) |
3195 | MY DEAR HOWELLS,--When and where? |
3195 | Maybe you think I am not happy? |
3195 | Mrs. Clemens says, “ Maybe the Howellses could come Monday if they can not come Saturday; ask them; it is worth trying. ” Well, how''s that? |
3195 | Now what is it? |
3195 | Now wo n''t you put Orion in a story? |
3195 | Our Susie is still “ Megalops. ” He gave her that name: Can you spare a photograph of your father? |
3195 | Poor old Methusaleh, how did he manage to stand it so long? |
3195 | Pray offer my most sincere and respectful approval to the President-- is approval the proper word? |
3195 | Should the language be altered?--or the hyphens taken out? |
3195 | Suppose you do n''t need him there? |
3195 | That is-- is he your father? ” “ No, he is my husband. ” So this child was married, you see. |
3195 | Then why do you try to get to Heaven? |
3195 | To nominate Edmunds the 1st of November, would be soon enough, would n''t it? |
3195 | Was it that it was too personal? |
3195 | Was n''t it a good audience to get up an excitement before? |
3195 | We can do that ca n''t we? |
3195 | Weekly with my apprentice sketches? |
3195 | What do you think? |
3195 | What does possess strangers to write so many letters? |
3195 | What of that? |
3195 | What would you have done? |
3195 | When and where shall we meet? |
3195 | Why how could they? |
3195 | Why should we assist our fellowman for mere love of God? |
3195 | Will you return those proofs or revises to me, so that I can use the same on some future occasion? |
3195 | Will you? |
3195 | Wo n''t you please fix it the way it ought to be, altering the language as you choose, only making it bitter and contemptuous? |
3195 | Would it mar the flow of the thing too much to insert that devil? |
3195 | Would you and Mrs. Howells like to invite Mr. and Mrs. Aldrich? |
3195 | do you realize, Mark, what a symposium it is to be? |
3195 | where is he? |
2985 | And you''ve filled that order, have you? |
2985 | Come, do you mean to say that you do n''t know who the hero of that sketch is? |
2985 | Great guns, what is the matter with it? |
2985 | Promise what? |
2985 | Shall you take your tomahawk with you? |
2985 | The placard that says''Furnished rooms to let''? 2985 Was he always really tranquil within,"he says,"or was he only externally so-- for effect? |
2985 | Was this rebuke studied and intentional? 2985 Well, what does he have that sign up for?" |
2985 | What makes you think so? |
2985 | What will it cost? |
2985 | What will you give? |
2985 | Why not leave them all to me? |
2985 | Why, yes,said Tufts;"are n''t you?" |
2985 | Why,he said,"have we met before?" |
2985 | Why? |
2985 | With pleasure-- where is she? |
2985 | Wo n''t you please say something funny? |
2985 | Yes, Mark, what is it? |
2985 | --[Clemens himself had attempted to make a play out of his story"Is He Dead?" |
2985 | America? |
2985 | And could we now? |
2985 | And do you think that you have added just the right smear of polish to the closing clause of the sentence? |
2985 | And shall we see Susy? |
2985 | And why should n''t I be? |
2985 | And will Mark Twain never write such another? |
2985 | At forty what do you do? |
2985 | B.--Look here, are you charging storage? |
2985 | But ca n''t I get it in anywhere? |
2985 | But in the mean time what do you do? |
2985 | But what is the use of remembering all these bitter details? |
2985 | But what were you doing on the inside? |
2985 | Clemens answered,"Mr. Rogers, do you think there is anything I could do for you that I would n''t do?" |
2985 | Clemens looked at the egg portion and asked:"Boy, what was my order?" |
2985 | DEAR PAMELA,--Will you take this$ 15& buy some candy or other trifle for yourself& Sam& his wife to remind you that we remember you? |
2985 | Did n''t you know that? |
2985 | Do n''t you realize that you ought not to intrude your help in a delicate art like that with your limitations? |
2985 | Do n''t you see it''s Herr Mark Twain?" |
2985 | Do they live in----""In this street? |
2985 | Do you know any one who does know him?" |
2985 | Do you know that shock? |
2985 | Do you know that shock? |
2985 | Do you see the big, plain house over there with the placard in the third floor window? |
2985 | Do you think you know how to behave?" |
2985 | Does he keep boarders?" |
2985 | Dreaming of what? |
2985 | Familiar? |
2985 | Have n''t you read anything at all about Joan of Arc? |
2985 | Have you developed any novelties of conduct since you left Mr. Murray''s,& have they been of a character to move the concern of your friends? |
2985 | Have you ever been like that? |
2985 | He said:"What will you complete the machine for?" |
2985 | How do you reckon he accomplished that miracle? |
2985 | How in the world did you ever come to locate there?" |
2985 | I sha''n''t say a word against it, but she will find it a difficult& disheartening job,& meanwhile what is to become of that miraculous girl? |
2985 | I wonder if it is? |
2985 | If you should be passing this way to- morrow will you look in and change hats? |
2985 | Introducing him, President Frank Lawrence said:"What name is there in literature that can be likened to his? |
2985 | Is n''t that valuable? |
2985 | Is there some way, honest or otherwise, by which you can get a copy of Mayo''s play,"Pudd''nhead Wilson,"for me? |
2985 | It would be jolly good if some one should succeed in making a play out of"Is He Dead?" |
2985 | Italy? |
2985 | Later he wrote:"Put''Is He Dead?'' |
2985 | My business brothers? |
2985 | Now the old Duke of Backofenhofenschwartz not the present Duke, but the last but one, he----""Does he live over the sausage- shop in the cellar?" |
2985 | Now, do n''t you see what a world of confidence that must necessarily breed? |
2985 | One of them said, hesitatingly:"Are you Mr. Mark Twain?" |
2985 | Or at least why was n''t something creditable created in place of it? |
2985 | Semi- acquaintances said,"Ah, yes, Kornerstrasse"; acquaintances said,"Dear me, do you like it?" |
2985 | Shrunk how? |
2985 | Since I wrote my Bible--[The"Gospel,"What is Man?] |
2985 | That they are in London, the metropolis of the world, Post- office District, N. W.? |
2985 | The coachman sent in for him at 9, but he said,"Oh, nonsense!--leave glories& grandeurs like these? |
2985 | The door was ajar and he heard Mrs. Clemens say:"Youth, do n''t you think it will be a little embarrassing for him, your being in bed?" |
2985 | To Twichell Clemens wrote: Joe, do you know the Irish gentleman& the Irish lady, the Scotch gentleman& the Scotch lady? |
2985 | To her sister she wrote: Do you think we can live through the first going into the house in Hartford? |
2985 | Venice? |
2985 | Was n''t it a rattling good comedy situation? |
2985 | Well, then, what is he to do? |
2985 | What is biography? |
2985 | What is it that we want in a novel? |
2985 | What is romance? |
2985 | What night will you come down& smoke? |
2985 | What other humorist could have refrained from hinting, at least, the inference suggested by the obvious"Gas Works"? |
2985 | What should we do and how should we feel if we had no bright prospects before us, and yet how many people are situated in that way? |
2985 | What they want----""The nobility? |
2985 | When the Duke first moved in here he----""Does he live in this street?" |
2985 | When you get an exasperating letter what happens? |
2985 | Where was your remedy? |
2985 | Who is his nearest friend?" |
2985 | Who is it?" |
2985 | Who is it?" |
2985 | Who might this late comer be? |
2985 | Whose heart is broken by this murder? |
2985 | Why was the human race created? |
2985 | Why, Tufts, do n''t you know that the soldiers in the theater are the same old soldiers marching around and around? |
2985 | Will anybody contend that a man can say to such masterful anger as that, Go, and be obeyed? |
2985 | Will healing ever come, or life have value again? |
2985 | Will that answer? |
2985 | With a rent- roll of twelve hundred thousand marks a year? |
2985 | Wo n''t you talk awhile? |
2985 | Yes, he is here; and the question is not-- as it has been heretofore during a thousand ages-- What shall we do with him? |
2985 | Yes, you know that, and confess it-- but what were you to do? |
2985 | have you noticed that? |
2985 | how have you written this miracle? |
2985 | or shall I send it to the hotel? |
2985 | the tropics? |
2982 | Ah,said Clemens, as he mopped his face,"do you know that little devil waded all the way across?" |
2982 | Are you Horace Bigsby''s cub? |
2982 | But do you realize, ma''am, how tired and hungry we are? 2982 Can he do it again?" |
2982 | Did it knock him down? |
2982 | Did you do that? |
2982 | Did you ever do any steering? |
2982 | Did you follow it up? 2982 Did you pound him much-- that is, severely?" |
2982 | Do n''t I deserve one yet? |
2982 | Do you chew? |
2982 | Do you drink? |
2982 | Do you gamble? |
2982 | Do you know the Bowen boys? |
2982 | Do you swear? |
2982 | Do you use terbacker? |
2982 | Does it? |
2982 | Hard? |
2982 | Here, where are you heading for now? |
2982 | Here, why did n''t you tell me we had got to land at that plantation? |
2982 | Here,he would shout,"where are you going now? |
2982 | How big was it, Uncle Ned? |
2982 | How do you follow a hall at home in the dark? 2982 How far off was it?" |
2982 | How much do you think it ought to be, Mark? |
2982 | How on earth am I ever going to learn it, then? |
2982 | How would you like a young man to learn the river? |
2982 | Is n''t that a guitar over there? |
2982 | Nobody could have done it better; and did you see how those cats got out of there? 2982 Pounded him?" |
2982 | Sam said,''Dan, did you know, when you invited me to make that speech, that those fellows were going to give me a bogus pipe?'' 2982 Steve, what is that d-- d noise?" |
2982 | Tell us, Mark, why are you like the Pacific Ocean? |
2982 | Very well, I''ll try it; but, after I have learned it, can I depend on it? 2982 Well,"he sand,"why am I like the Pacific Ocean?" |
2982 | What are you reading, Sam? |
2982 | What did you do? |
2982 | What do you charge? |
2982 | What in nation are you steerin''at, anyway? 2982 What is your name?" |
2982 | What makes you pull your words that way? |
2982 | What will you have, Sam? |
2982 | What with? |
2982 | What''s the matter, Sam? 2982 Who did that?" |
2982 | Why did n''t you mention it before? 2982 Why do n''t you get up and light it yourself?" |
2982 | Why, Sammy, what in the world has happened? |
2982 | Yes, sir, it is; what of it? |
2982 | 23--and a lawyer? |
2982 | A gentleman standing on the pavement said to my wife,"Miss, do you go by this stage?" |
2982 | A tall, bony woman came to the door:"You''re secesh, ai n''t you?" |
2982 | And what is a man without energy? |
2982 | At first he looked at the culprit thoughtfully, then he made some inquiries:"Did you strike him first?" |
2982 | Can not the''Californian''afford to keep Mark all to itself? |
2982 | Did you do anything further?" |
2982 | Do n''t you hear me? |
2982 | Do n''t you know that I have expended money in this country but have made none myself? |
2982 | Do n''t you know that I have never held in my hands a gold or silver bar that belonged to me? |
2982 | Do n''t you know that I have only talked, as yet, but proved nothing? |
2982 | Do n''t you know that it''s all talk and no cider so far? |
2982 | Do n''t you know that undemonstrated human calculations wo n''t do to bet on? |
2982 | Do you hear?" |
2982 | Give him a good sound thrashing; do you hear? |
2982 | Have I got to learn the shape of the river according to all these five hundred thousand different ways? |
2982 | Have n''t you got a bite for us to eat?" |
2982 | He opened on me after this fashion:"How much water did we have in the middle crossing at Hole- in- The- Wall, trip before last?" |
2982 | His chief was a constant menace at such moments: One day he turned on me suddenly with this settler:"What is the shape of Walnut Bend?" |
2982 | His mother said:"What''s the matter, Sammy; are you sick?" |
2982 | How could he, with a fortune so plainly in view? |
2982 | How did you ever think of it?" |
2982 | How do you reckon I can remember such a mess as that?" |
2982 | I gave her a conundrum, thus:"My dear madam, why ought your hand to retain its present grace and beauty always? |
2982 | If they want letters from here-- who''ll run from morning till night collecting material cheaper? |
2982 | It always snows here, I expect"; and the final heart- sick line,"Do n''t you suppose they have pretty much quit writing at home?" |
2982 | It may have materialized out of the unseen-- who knows? |
2982 | Klinefelter turned to Sam:"Did n''t you hear him?" |
2982 | L. C.''Which was? |
2982 | Maguire, why Will you thus skyugle? |
2982 | Now is n''t she the devil? |
2982 | One day, soon after, he said to me:"''Steve, do you know that I think that that bogus pipe smokes about as well as the good one?''" |
2982 | Sam said:"What''s that, Steve?" |
2982 | Sam;"he said,"what do they mean by that?" |
2982 | That is to say, is n''t she a right smart little woman? |
2982 | The company rose, drank the toast in serious silence; then Goodman said:"Of course, Artemus, it''s all right, but why did you give us Upper Canada?" |
2982 | W- h- a- r- r''s my g- o- l- den arm?" |
2982 | W- h- a- r- r''s my golden arm? |
2982 | What a child he always was-- always, to the very end? |
2982 | What are you going to do?" |
2982 | What did it matter to him? |
2982 | What name do you want to use''Josh''?" |
2982 | What noise? |
2982 | What the devil does a man want with any more feet when he owns in the invincible bomb- proof"Monitor"? |
2982 | What was the greatest feature in Napoleon''s character? |
2982 | When the children came for eggs he would say:"Your hens wo n''t lay, eh? |
2982 | Where is it Orion''s going to? |
2982 | Why curse and swear, And rip and tear The innocent McDougal? |
2982 | Will it keep the same form, and not go fooling around?" |
2982 | Wo n''t you please stop it? |
2982 | You could n''t possibly teach music with a company of raw recruits drilling overhead-- now, could you? |
2982 | You think that picture looks old? |
2982 | You will continue upon the water for some time yet; you will not retire finally until ten years from now.... What is your brother''s age? |
2982 | and in pursuit of an office? |
2982 | he asked--"pilots in the St. Louis and New Orleans trade?" |
2982 | he said, triumphantly;"you know dose vord?" |
19987 | Afraid I would n''t live? |
19987 | And the next greatest? |
19987 | Are you going down to see what it is he wants now? |
19987 | Are you going down to see? |
19987 | But where do you place yourself, then? |
19987 | Did n''t you fall overboard? |
19987 | How do you mean? |
19987 | How many? |
19987 | I? 19987 If you forgot the watch, mamma, would that be a little thing?" |
19987 | Is he? 19987 Mamma, what is it all for?" |
19987 | Mamma, what is''_ little_ things''? |
19987 | The fourth what? |
19987 | Then why did you sell him? |
19987 | Very well, then you''ve told it, we''ll say, seventy or eighty times since it happened? |
19987 | Was it a burglar, do you think? |
19987 | Was n''t there a new patent machine aboard, and did n''t they throw it over to save you? |
19987 | Wellmamma said"what now, I wonder?" |
19987 | Well, what of it? 19987 What man?" |
19987 | What shall we do then then? |
19987 | Who were the others? |
19987 | Why? |
19987 | Ai n''t it best to say nothing, and let on that we did n''t think?" |
19987 | Ai n''t that the one that bilked the house, last week, out of ten cents?" |
19987 | Anything peculiar about it?" |
19987 | Apparently you have not heard of him?" |
19987 | Are you a professional buccaneer? |
19987 | Are you always cheerful? |
19987 | Are_ you_? |
19987 | As Susy said,"What is it all for?" |
19987 | At last X''s friend remarked,"X, does it occur to you that we are_ outside the diocese_?" |
19987 | Carleton rose and said brusquely and aggressively,"Well, what can I do for you?" |
19987 | Could the fault have been with me? |
19987 | Did I forget that I was a Lambton? |
19987 | Did I lose courage when I saw those great men up there whom I was going to describe in such a strange fashion? |
19987 | Did n''t that attract any attention?" |
19987 | Did you suppose it was a Sunday- school superintendent?" |
19987 | Do I want any more? |
19987 | Do n''t you like Uncle Theodore Crane?" |
19987 | Do you remember Charles the First?--and his broad slouch with the plume in it? |
19987 | Dr. Burton swung his leonine head around, focussed me with his eye, and said:"When was it that this happened?" |
19987 | Finally, in the summing up, the mother named over the list and asked:"Which one do you think it ought to be, Susy?" |
19987 | For instance, if the magician asked,"What do you see?" |
19987 | Have you told it several times since?" |
19987 | He brought the cup to me and asked impressively,"Mr. Clemens, how far is it from the front door to the upper gate?" |
19987 | He did n''t what?" |
19987 | He had inquired of the shopman--"Who is this Davis?" |
19987 | He mused a moment or two and then said,"I wonder we did n''t meet in Washington in 1867; you were there at that time, were n''t you?" |
19987 | He paused, glanced up at me and said, with his eyes,"Are you friendly?" |
19987 | He said,"Three dollars? |
19987 | He said,"Were n''t you a midshipman once, sir, in the old''Lancaster''?" |
19987 | He said:"Mr. Clemens, what are we going to do? |
19987 | He said:"Who did that?" |
19987 | He seemed very much surprised, and said,"Take him again? |
19987 | Her mother asked:"Is she crying hard?" |
19987 | Her mother was surprised, and also disappointed, and said:"Why, Susy, does n''t it please you? |
19987 | His face was sad, before, and troubled; but it lit up gladly now, and he answered,"Yes-- have you seen him?" |
19987 | How do you come to know about it?" |
19987 | How do you explain it? |
19987 | How do you explain this kind of conduct?" |
19987 | How do you justify it?" |
19987 | How far off was that bird?" |
19987 | How is the size of calamities measured? |
19987 | How many can you run with an outlay like that?" |
19987 | How many caroms do you think you can make out of that layout?" |
19987 | How many times a year do you think you have told it?" |
19987 | How much of this tale of yours is embroidery?" |
19987 | How often can he do that?" |
19987 | I asked my mother about this, in her old age-- she was in her 88th year-- and said:"I suppose that during all that time you were uneasy about me?" |
19987 | I asked,"How did you know, you little rascals?" |
19987 | I have to have him back again because the man wants him; do n''t you see that I have n''t any choice in the matter? |
19987 | I was waiting for her to ask"Who did that?" |
19987 | I wonder how he felt? |
19987 | If their superiors had carved each other well, the public would have asked, Where were the police? |
19987 | Is it?'' |
19987 | Is n''t it fine?" |
19987 | It is plain that the author of the second one stole the first one, is n''t it?" |
19987 | It is too late to telephone-- we could n''t get any cigars out from town-- what can we do? |
19987 | Mrs. Clemens opened the debate:"What was it?" |
19987 | My wife said,"What do you suppose he is after now?" |
19987 | Now what do you reckon it was? |
19987 | Only three dollars? |
19987 | Really always cheerful?" |
19987 | She said, a little restively,"Well, what is the use of a burglar- alarm for us?" |
19987 | She said,"You wore it in church with that red Scotch plaid outside and glaring? |
19987 | She said:"He did n''t? |
19987 | She was awed and impressed, and said:"Wild ones, mamma?" |
19987 | She would say,"Now, Marse Steve, Marse Steve, ca n''t you behave yourself?" |
19987 | Stevenson had begun the matter with this question:"Can you name the American author whose fame and acceptance stretch widest in the States?" |
19987 | Susy studied, shrank from her duty, and asked:"Which do you think, mamma?" |
19987 | That question was,"With whom originated the idea of the march to the sea? |
19987 | That was the old man''s chance, and he said with fervency"Why good land, are n''t you going to stop to breakfast?" |
19987 | The General said,"What do you ask for him?" |
19987 | The crux of the matter is that you did n''t own the dog-- can''t you see that? |
19987 | The truth is they will know that I acted innocently, because they are rational people; but what of that? |
19987 | Then he came back, and said,"What is the prize for the ten- strike?" |
19987 | There must be some way to tell the great ones from the small ones; what is the law of these proportions? |
19987 | There was a moment''s silence, then Sandy spoke up with excited interest and said--"Marse Sam, has you ever seen a smoked herring?" |
19987 | There-- don''t you see something? |
19987 | This look was usually followed with"Clara"or"Susy what do you mean by this? |
19987 | Was it Grant''s, or was it Sherman''s idea?" |
19987 | Were you of our crew?" |
19987 | What could have been the matter with that house? |
19987 | What do you suppose he wants?" |
19987 | What is ambition? |
19987 | What is that?" |
19987 | What is the bill?" |
19987 | What is the rule? |
19987 | What is the special peculiarity of smoked herrings?" |
19987 | What is your name?" |
19987 | What should he cable in reply? |
19987 | What, are you going? |
19987 | When I was seven or eight, or ten, or twelve years old-- along there-- a neighbor said to her,"Do you ever believe anything that that boy says?" |
19987 | When people asked me,"How_ can_ you tell what he is willing you to do?" |
19987 | When the article"What ought he to have done?" |
19987 | Where now is Billy Rice? |
19987 | Who is it that didn''t?--and what is it that he did n''t?" |
19987 | Who was the other girl?" |
19987 | Who''s doubting it?" |
19987 | Why is it that I have intruded into this turmoil and manifested a desire to get our orthography purged of its asininities? |
19987 | Why, how could I talk when he was talking? |
19987 | Why? |
19987 | Why?" |
19987 | Wo n''t you please sign your name?" |
19987 | Wo n''t you take me out of my distress and sign your name to it? |
19987 | You understand? |
19987 | [ 19] Can this be correct? |
19987 | _ Was hast du gesagt?_"But she said the same words over again, and in the same decided way. |
19987 | and his body clothed in velvet doublet with lace sleeves, and his legs in leather, with long rapier at his side and his spurs on his heels? |
19987 | and his slender, tall figure? |
19987 | do you want to come to the bath- room with me?" |
19987 | impostors, were they? |
2986 | A vocabulary, then, is sometimes a handicap? |
2986 | But what in hell is an oesophagus? 2986 Do you believe the things you say?" |
2986 | How long did you keep your pilot- memory? |
2986 | How many? |
2986 | I suppose you still remember some of the river? |
2986 | Man adapted to the earth? |
2986 | Oh yes, that is it, I thought it was--(naming a name which has escaped me) wo n''t you write it down for me? |
2986 | Reporters? |
2986 | Still you-- are going to publish it, are you not? |
2986 | Was n''t that the courteous thing to do? |
2986 | What is the one- third extra-- the odd melon-- the same? |
2986 | What would you do? |
2986 | What''s an oesophagus, a bird? |
2986 | What''s it all mean, anyway? |
2986 | Why in nation did you offer him your cue? |
2986 | A critic with a sense of humor asked:"Please excuse seeming impertinence, but were you ever adjudged insane? |
2986 | Am I right? |
2986 | And ignorantly& unthinkingly? |
2986 | And what is the appendix for? |
2986 | Are our morals so inadequate that we have to borrow of niggers?" |
2986 | Are the Blue and the Gray one to- day? |
2986 | Are there in Sir Walter''s novels passages done in good English--English which is neither slovenly nor involved? |
2986 | Are there passages which burn with real fire-- not punk, fox- fire, make- believe? |
2986 | Are there passages whose English is not poor& thin& commonplace, but is of a quality above that? |
2986 | Are you sure it was clams? |

2987 | As we drove into the lane that led to the Stormfield entrance, he said:"Can we see where you have built your billiard- room?" |
2987 | Bright? |

2987 | Do you want to bring the lightning?" |

2987 | Have you forgotten early twitterings of your own? |
2987 | He commended man to multiply& replenish- what? |
2987 | He said, very gently:"How beautiful it all is? |
2987 | He says:"A billion, that is a million millions,[?? |
2987 | He says:"A billion, that is a million millions,[?? |
2987 | How can you ask such a thing of me? |
2987 | How does a soul like that stay in a carcass without getting mixed with the secretions and sweated out through the pores? |
2987 | Howells, did you write me day- before- day- before yesterday or did I dream it? |
2987 | I bent down over her and patted her cheek and said:"I do n''t seem to remember your name; what is it?" |
2987 | I noticed that Jean was listening anxiously, and when I finished she said:"Is that a true story?" |
2987 | I said,"How do you account for the changed attitude toward these things? |
2987 | I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?'' |
2987 | I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it? |
2987 | I was ashamed again, and confessed it; then:"How old are you, dear?" |
2987 | I was naturally astonished, and immediately wrote: I did fall and skin my shin at five o''clock yesterday afternoon, but how did you find it out? |
2987 | If a life be offered up on the gallows to atone for the murder Ruloff did, will that suffice? |
2987 | If so is she extinct and can never attend a third? |
2987 | In a dictation following his return, Mark Twain said: Who began it? |
2987 | Is it a regular army? |
2987 | Is it an army of volunteers who have enlisted for the war, and may righteously be shot if they leave before the war is finished? |
2987 | Is it less humiliating to dance to the lash of one master than another? |
2987 | Is it possible for human wickedness to invent a doctrine more infernal and poisonous than this? |

2987 | Is n''t that a brewery?" |
2987 | Is n''t that a brewery?" |
2987 | Is that it?" |
2987 | Is that true, mother--because if it is true why did Mr. Hollister laugh at it?" |
2987 | Is there imaginable a baser servitude than it imposes? |
2987 | Is what is left an individual?" |
2987 | It only costs the public a dollar apiece, and if they ca n''t stand it what do they stay here for? |
2987 | It was not wrong? |
2987 | MR. MARK TWAIN-- DEAR SIR,--Will you start now, without any unnecessary delay? |
2987 | Mark Twain''s own book on the subject--''Is Shakespeare Dead?'' |
2987 | Must he prove that he is sound in any way, mind or body? |
2987 | Must he prove that he knows anything-- is capable of anything-- whatever? |
2987 | Not much of it all is left to me, but I remember Howells saying,"Did it ever occur to you that the newspapers abolished hell? |
2987 | Now you all know all these things yourself, do n''t you? |
2987 | Now, therefore, why should I withhold it? |
2987 | OR HELL? |
2987 | Of course you can save money by denying yourself all these vicious little enjoyments for fifty years; but then what can you do with it? |
2987 | Once, half roused, he looked at me searchingly and asked:"Is n''t there something I can resign and be out of all this? |
2987 | One day she said:"Mama, why is there so much pain and sorrow and suffering? |
2987 | Ought we to allow this war to begin? |
2987 | Replying to the question( put to himself),"Are you pleased with the marriage?" |
2987 | Says I,''Hold on there, Evangeline, what are you going to do with them?'' |
2987 | Shall I ever be cheerful again, happy again? |
2987 | Shall you also say that it demands that a man kick his truth and his conscience into the gutter and become a mouthing lunatic besides? |
2987 | Shall you say the best good of the country demands allegiance to party? |
2987 | She? |
2987 | Take a man like Sir Oliver Lodge, and what secret of Nature can be hidden from him? |
2987 | That''s closed in, is n''t it, for the winter? |
2987 | The autumn splendors passed you by? |
2987 | The letter itself consisted merely of a line, which said: Wo n''t you give your friends, the missionaries, a good mark for this? |
2987 | The property has got to fall to some heir, and why not the United States? |
2987 | The question is, if she attends two doe luncheons in succession is she a doe- doe? |
2987 | The sensational head- lines in a morning paper,"Is Mark Twain a Plagiarist?" |
2987 | There was such a mingling of yells and calls and questions, such as,"Have you brought the jumping Frog with you?" |
2987 | They give us pain, they make our lives miserable, they murder us-- and where is the use of it all, where the wisdom? |
2987 | To Howells, on the same day, he wrote: Wo n''t you& Mrs. Howells& Mildred come& give us as many days as you can spare& examine John''s triumph? |
2987 | Toward the evening of the first day, when it grew dark outside, he asked:"How long have we been on this voyage?" |
2987 | U. E. WAS IT HEAVEN? |
2987 | U. E. WHY NOT ABOLISH IT? |
2987 | Very well, then, what is the use of your stringing out your miserable lives to a clean and withered old age? |
2987 | Very well, then- what ought we to do? |
2987 | WHAT IS MAN? |

2987 | Was it R. U. Johnson? |
2987 | Was it an illusion? |
2987 | Was it both together? |
2987 | Was it not our duty to administer a rebuke to this selfish and heartless Family? |
2987 | Was it not our duty to stop it, in the name of right and righteousness? |
2987 | Was it the Authors''League? |
2987 | Was it to discipline the church?" |
2987 | Was it to discipline the hog, mama?" |
2987 | Was it you?" |
2987 | Was that right?" |
2987 | Well, is it? |
2987 | Well, suppose you combine them again, but in a new way: make the proportions equal-- one part oxygen to one of hydrogen?" |
2987 | Well, they have invented a heaven, out of their own heads, all by themselves; guess what it is like? |
2987 | What do you take me for? |
2987 | What is it all for?" |
2987 | What is it you want?" |
2987 | What is the essential difference between a lifelong democrat and any other kind of lifelong slave? |

2987 | What use can you put it to? |
2987 | What would become of me if he should disintegrate? |
2987 | What, sir, would the people of this earth be without woman? |
2987 | When he had read a number of these he said:"Well, why does He do it then? |
2987 | Where was ever a sermon preached that could make filial ingratitude so hateful to men as the sinful play of"King Lear"? |
2987 | Why do I respect my own? |
2987 | Why do we respect the opinions of any man or any microbe that ever lived? |
2987 | Why does He give Himself the trouble?" |
2987 | Why should his life be taken away for their sake, when he was n''t doing anything?" |
2987 | Why should they have declined? |
2987 | Will you remember that? |
2987 | You do not think me wrong? |
2987 | You notice that? |
2987 | You notice the stately General standing there with his hand resting upon the muzzle of a cannon? |
2987 | and when England''s Prime Minister- Campbell- Bannerman-- came forward some one shouted,"What about the House of Lords?" |
2987 | impostors, were they? |

2988 | Anything left of Hoffman? ” “ No, ” I said. |
2988 | Are the Blue and the Gray one to- day? |
2988 | Are the two things identical? |
2988 | Are there in Sir Walter''s novels passages done in good English--English which is neither slovenly nor involved? |
2988 | Are there passages which burn with real fire-- not punk, fox- fire, make- believe? |
2988 | Are there passages whose English is not poor& thin& commonplace, but is of a quality above that? |
2988 | Are you sure it was clams? |
2988 | Are you? ” I did not pursue the subject, and since then I have not traveled on my''nom de guerre''enough to hurt. |
2988 | Are you? ” That broke the ice. |
2988 | As concerns the man who has gone unpunished eleven million years, is it your belief that in life he did his duty by his microbes? |
2988 | At first he looked at the culprit thoughtfully, then he made some inquiries: “ Did you strike him first? ” Captain Klinefelter asked. |

2988 | He probably referred to the Monday Evening Club essay, “ What Is Happiness? ”( February, 1883). |
2988 | He said to himself: “ Why did n''t I go now? |
2988 | He said, very gently: “ How beautiful it all is? |

2988 | How do you explain this? ” Clemens said: “ Oh, that is very simple to answer, your Excellency. |

2988 | I said,''Jean, is this you trying to let me know you have found the others?'' |
2988 | I sha''n''t say a word against it, but she will find it a difficult& disheartening job,& meanwhile what is to become of that miraculous girl? |
2988 | I suppose I ought to defend my character, but how can I defend it? |
2988 | I want somebody to light my pipe. ” “ Why do n''t you get up and light it yourself? ” Brownell asked. |
2988 | I was greatly pleased and asked: “ Who gets the extra one? ” “ Widows and orphans. ” “ A good idea, too. |
