5820Aha, my girl, do n''t you see? 5820 And does it seem as necessary to you to do it as it did before you came to Fallkill?"
5820And is thee satisfied with it?
5820And now I tell you that is all arranged, I suppose you''ll tell me I ought to go?
5820And see ye not yon braid, braid road, That lies across the lily leven? 5820 And thee preferred the fop to the serious- minded?"
5820And thee would like to turn it into a hospital?
5820And what has Philip to do with that?
5820Bigger than$ 200,000, Beriah?
5820Bigger, child?--why, what''s$ 200,000? 5820 But Beriah, you''ve been expecting it every day, all along, have n''t you?"
5820Company say anything?
5820Did I ever show any want of confidence in you, Harry?
5820Did thee know thee father had been in correspondence with Philip?
5820Did you think he was fickle?
5820Do n''t know any of the families of the congressmen? 5820 Do you look upon them as I subjects, dear?"
5820Does your doctor know any thing-- I do n''t mean about medicine, but about things in general, is he a man of information and good sense?
5820Go on?
5820No answer?
5820O see ye not yon narrow road So thick beset wi''thorns and briers? 5820 Oh, I do n''t think I should come to Fallkill to practice, but I must do something when I am through school; and why not medicine?"
5820Rusticated?
5820Ruth is a dear girl, Philip, and has as much firmness of purpose as ever, but do n''t you see she has just discovered that she is fond of society? 5820 We heard you were at the Sassacus House,"were Ruth''s first words;"and this I suppose is your friend?"
5820What is that?
5820What then?
5820What''s to be done?
5820What''s yours?
5820Who''s just superb?
5820Why did he come to you?
5820Why should I want you to go away? 5820 Why should n''t I try to make a pleasant evening?
5820Would you have her sign our petition?
5820You telegraphed yesterday?
5820And besides, ai n''t I going to do those things?
5820And when I say thin or not thin it''s a fact, anyway, they say,''Come, now, but do you really believe that?''
5820Bless your heart, you dear women live right in the present all the time-- but a man, why a man lives----"In the future, Beriah?
5820But ai n''t it a ripping toad, though?
5820But do n''t we live in the future most too much, Beriah?
5820But tell me father,"continued Ruth, not to be put off,"is thee still going on with that Bigler and those other men who come here and entice thee?"
5820Did n''t uncle tell me only last Saturday, that I might as well go down to Arizona and hunt for diamonds?
5820Did thee see anybody whom thee would like to live with always in Fallkill?"

5820Do you go to Senator X?
5820How far from here is Columbus River?
5820How was he getting on with his navigation scheme, would it be likely to take him from home to Jefferson City; or to Washington, perhaps?
5820I do n''t mean to fret, I do n''t mean to worry; and I do n''t, once a month, do I, dear?
5820I know you''re doing all you can, and I do n''t want to seem repining and ungrateful-- for I''m not, Beriah-- you know I''m not, do n''t you?"
5820If he wo n''t stick to any industry except for himself now, what will he do then?"
5820Is it an appropriation?
5820Is it that railroad?"
5820Just stop and fancy a moment-- just think a little-- don''t anything suggest itself?
5820Let me see--where was I?
5820Perhaps the reader has never been there?
5820Sellers should, have business there; say, about this Columbus River appropriation?"
5820Sellers, who had been a confederate and had not thriven by it, should give him the cold shoulder?
5820So, do n''t you see?
5820Things ai n''t so dark, are they?
5820To what purpose?
5820Was she fascinated with Harry''s careless''bon homie''and gay assurance?
5820We''ve got the rail road to fall back on; and in the meantime, what are we worrying about that$ 200,000 appropriation for?
5820What difference does it make about the mood and tense of a mere verb?
5820What do you suppose I am staying in Hawkeye for, week after week, when I ought to be with my corps?"
5820When, however, they reached Stone''s Landing the Senator looked about him and inquired,"Is this Napoleon?"
5820Where''ll it be by the middle of summer?
5820Who shall say that this is not the golden age of mutual trust, of unlimited reliance upon human promises?
5820Why not, she said, why should n''t I do as other women have done?
5820Why will father have anything to do with him?
5820Would Ruth be glad to hear, he wondered, that he was coming East?
5820Would thee have me sit here like a bird on a bough and wait for somebody to come and put me in a cage?"
5820Would you?
5820You being a stranger, how could you do otherwise?
5820You want an appointment?
5820You''d go''straight to the Committee, or to the Interior office, I suppose?
10401Daniel,he said, addressing me by my Christian name,"what are you doing here?
10401In what position is the prisoner placed by the evidence? 10401 Who is this man?
10401_ District Attorney_.--What newspaper is that from which the counsel reads? 10401 And does not this open a plain path for this prisoner out of the danger of this prosecution? 10401 And how did the slaves behave after they were captured? 10401 And, looking at those facts, is it necessary for me to open my lips in reply? 10401 Are you going to presume that the chickens run into his bag of their own accord, and without his agency? 10401 Are you to presume that the horse came to him of its own accord? 10401 Because the people in another land have arisen and triumphed over the despot, who had done-- what? 10401 But shall this prisoner be allowed to take advantage of his own wrong? 10401 But was not the vessel chartered in Philadelphia to carry off negroes? 10401 By what second- sight are you to look into this void space and time, and to say that Drayton enticed them to go on board? 10401 Can any man be a patriot who pursues such a course? 10401 Can you, without any evidence, say that Drayton enticed them, and that by no other means could they come onboard? 10401 Did he not know they were slaves? 10401 Did he, or not? 10401 Did not that show his authority over them,--that the slaves were under his control, and that he was the master- spirit? 10401 Do n''t you think he ought to? 10401 Do they get up a debate in Congress, and a riot in the city of Washington, every time a theft is committed or attempted in the District? 10401 Does that look as if he seduced them? 10401 For what have we rejoiced? 10401 Has he done anything to take this case out of the transportation statute, and to convert it into a case of stealing? 10401 Has the District Attorney, with all his zeal, pointed out a single particle of evidence of that sort? 10401 He came here from Philadelphia for them; they are found on board his vessel; Drayton says he would steal a negro if he could; is not that enough? 10401 He chartered the vessel to carry off negroes; and, if they were free negroes, or he supposed them to be, how was he to realize an independent fortune? 10401 How can you ask me to abandon it, and thus become a party to my own degradation? 10401 How is he introduced to the jury by his Philadelphia friends? 10401 If he had employers, who were they? 10401 If his confessions are to be taken at all, they are to be taken together; and do they not tend to prove such a state of facts? 10401 If they had been running away, would they not have been downcast and disheartened? 10401 Is he an enlightened friend of freedom, or even a judicious friend of those with whom he affects to sympathize, who adopts such a course? 10401 Is there any crowd or excitement here? 10401 It was all very well for the prisoner''s counsel to smooth things over; but was I, instead of calling him a liar, to say, he told a fib? 10401 Might not somebody else have done it? 10401 Might they not have gone without being enticed at all? 10401 Now, he can not be guilty of both; and which of these offences, if either, does the evidence against him prove? 10401 Now, is it the only possible means of accounting for the presence of Houver''s slaves on board to suppose that this prisoner enticed them? 10401 Now, what is possession of a slave? 10401 Now, which of these two acts is proved against this prisoner? 10401 Shall the record of this trial go forth to the world showing that you have found a fact of which there was no evidence? 10401 The question for you is, Does the evidence in this case bring the prisoner within the law as laid down by the court? 10401 The real question in this case was, Which had I done? 10401 The whole question in this case is, Were these slaves stolen, or were they running away with the prisoner''s assistance? 10401 The wood was a blind; besides he lied about it;--would he have ever come back to collect his note? 10401 There was the fact of their being under the hatches, concealed in the hold of the vessel,--did not that prove he meant to steal them? 10401 We now ask a categorical answer,--Will you remove your press? 10401 We now ask of you, Shall this be done? 10401 Were not these slaves found in Drayton''s possession, and did n''t he admit that he took them? 10401 When I call him a thief and a felon, do I go beyond the charge of the grand jury in the indictment? 10401 Where can the government produce positive testimony to the taking? 10401 Where is the least evidence that the prisoner seduced these slaves, and induced them to leave their masters? 10401 Who does not know that such men are, practically, the worst enemies of the slaves? 10401 Why discuss, when they can not act? 10401 Why first lay down an abstract principle, which they intend to violate in practice? 10401 Why had not these black people, so anxious to escape from their masters, as good a light to their liberty as I had to mine? 10401 Why say he knew he should end his days in a penitentiary? 10401 Why say he took them for gain, if he did not steal them? 10401 Why say if he got off with the negroes he should have realized an independent fortune? 10401 Why so, if the negroes were not slaves? 10401 Why, then, this sudden feeling in his behalf? 10401 Will not these wailings of anguish reach the ears of the Most High? 10401 Would not they have said, Now we are taken? 10401 Would they not exhaust the law- books to find the severest punishment? 10401 You are to look at the evidence; and where is the evidence that the prisoner seduced and enticed these slaves? 5824 And Ruth?"
5824Are his great- grand- children still living?
5824But she was different after that?
5824But what should I lecture about?
5824Do you recognize, that hand- writing?
5824Does it leak anywhere?
5824Gentlemen, have you agreed upon your verdict?
5824Had you the least suspicion of the prisoner''s intention, up to the moment of the shooting?
5824How long have you known the prisoner?
5824How?
5824Indeed I do n''t know.--Why should he?
5824Is it in good repair?
5824Leak? 5824 Major Sellers, what is your occupation?"
5824Mrs. Hawkins,said Mr. Braham,"will you''be kind enough to state the circumstances of your finding Laura?"
5824No? 5824 Not for thy profession?"
5824Well, then, why should n''t a man want to steal it if he got a chance?
5824What is it?
5824Why-- a-- do the clothes fall out of it when it is-- when it is stationary?
5824Why? 5824 Why?"
5824Why?
5824You mean,said Mr. Braham,"that there was an unnatural, insane gleam in her eyes?"
5824After the recovery of Laura from her long illness, did Mrs. Hawkins think there, were any signs of insanity about her?
5824And where to begin?
5824Are we to be shut out from showing that the motive attributed to us could not by reason of certain mental conditions exist?
5824At the time of first finding Laura on the steamboat, did she notice that Laura''s mind was at all deranged?
5824Braham?"
5824But upon one occasion, old Senator Thompson said to me, its my opinion, Colonel Sellers"--"Did you ever see any body who had seen him?"
5824Come, now, answer fair-- wouldn''t you steal it?
5824Could Phil let him have a hundred, say, for ninety days?
5824Dat Mister Prierly, he do n''t never come back here no more, ai n''t it?"
5824Did he accompany her to a reception at Mrs. Shoonmaker''s a day or two before?
5824Did n''t Miss Hawkins refuse you?"
5824Do n''t you see?
5824Do you want to carry water in it?
5824Following that occupation with Miss Hawkins?"
5824Gentlemen, did she ever emerge from this delirium?
5824Had he noticed any change in, Laura after her illness?
5824He was not able to deny that he believed Senator Dilworthy to be guilty-- but what then?
5824I believe Major Lackland is not living, Colonel?"
5824If he, seeks his daughter, it is the purposeless search of a lunatic, as one who wanders bereft of reason, crying where is my child?
5824Let the jury do what they please; what difference is it going to make?
5824Mr. Noble--"Contempt of whom?"
5824Mr. Noble--"Then will the Committee ask the question?"
5824Now what a way to talk that is: What do you suppose that trunk is worth?"
5824Now what would you call stealing?"
5824Or would not the truer way be to find out whether the Senator was capable of being entrapped into so shameless an act, and then try him?
5824Selby?"
5824Sellers, I believe?"
5824Sellers, did you know a Major Lackland?"
5824Sellers, did you; ever see this man, this supposed father?"
5824Sellers, have you any, reason to suppose that this man is still living?"
5824Sellers; you know the parties here, you are a friend of the family?"
5824Shall I do it, or shall I not?
5824Suppose you were a thief, and that trunk was lying around and nobody watching-- wouldn''t you steal it?
5824The question was this:"Were the doctors clear that the deceased had no disease which might soon have carried him off, if he had not been shot?"
5824Then he rushes outen the house, I goes in-- and I says,"Missis did you ring?"
5824Three or four tines in as many weeks he said to himself,"Am I a visionary?
5824Was it such an extraordinary case?
5824Was she not the heroine of the hour?
5824Was this to be done by trying an obscure adventurer for attempting to trap a Senator into bribing him?
5824Were not these following cheers the expression of popular approval and affection?
5824Were you not a lover of Miss Hawkins?"
5824What did he do first?
5824What do you mean by does it leak?"
5824What does she say?"
5824What is it?
5824What is the matter with you?"
5824What is your occupation?"
5824What occurred?
5824What would the morning bring?
5824What would you do first, after you had tomahawked your mother at the breakfast table for putting too much sugar in your coffee?
5824Who is he, where is he?
5824Why did you deal in bank bills on this particular occasion?"
5824Why does the Senate still stick to this pompous word,''Investigation?''
5824Why not?
5824Why, are n''t trunks always being stolen?"
5824Witness asked her"Who?"
5824Would he one day hear that she had died a felon''s death?
5824Would the conductor open the door and ask for Philip Sterling, and hand him a fatal dispatch?
5824You can do more for her now, sir, than I can?"
5824You have my card?"
5818Believe it, indeed? 5818 But how can I, father?
5818But how should I know whether they were boys or girls?
5818But the money, child?

5818Jim, what is the meaning of that?
5818Nancy, do you suppose I listened to such a preposterous proposition? 5818 Throw it away?
5818Uncle Dan''l, do you reckon it was the prayer that saved us?
5818Well what did you run for?
5818Well, what have you got on hand-- anything?

5818But the Amaranth''s head was almost abreast the Boreas''s stern:"How''s your steam, now, Harry?"
5818Could n''t you write and ask them?"
5818Did n''t he buy, after all?
5818Did n''t he make an offer?"
5818Did you ever see a house afire?

5818Folks all well, I suppose?
5818George Davis, the pilot on watch, shouted to the night- watchman on deck:"How''s she loaded?"
5818Hawkins said to himself,"How can a man ever lose faith?
5818Hawkins said:"Washington, my boy, what will you do when you get to be one of the richest men in the world?"
5818He bent over a speaking tube and said:"Who''s on watch down there?"
5818He muttered:"Gone?
5818Here, Jerry, got anything to do?
5818How could you do it, Clay?"
5818How much money have you got?"
5818How was the cottonwood stump on the false point below Boardman''s Island this morning?"
5818How''s your draft?"
5818I suppose you-- you''ll still go, Si?"
5818I wonder what is in the wind?
5818If dey was gals would n''t dey be de SHE- brew chil''en?
5818It is true we are not rich-- but still you are not sorry--- you have n''t any misgivings about the additions?"
5818Like her?
5818Little strangers?
5818Mrs. Hawkins looked up white and despairing:"You threw away this chance, you let this man go, and we in this awful trouble?
5818Mrs. Hawkins sprang in, beaming:"Well, Si?"
5818Now how does that strike you?"
5818Offer?
5818Old Damrell said:"Tha hain''t no news''bout the jedge, hit ai n''t likely?"
5818Rheumatism?
5818Sleep?
5818Tell me-- is anything the matter?"
5818The boat was a moving earthquake by this time:"How is she now?"
5818The captain spoke through the tube:"What steam are You carrying?"
5818The"old man"spoke through the tube:"What is she- carrying now?"
5818Then I suppose you''ll finish your plan of coloring hen''s eggs by feeding a peculiar diet to the hen?"
5818Then he said:"Can I get well?
5818Three years of introductory trade in the orient and what will be the result?
5818Washington, Emily, do n''t you know me?
5818Well; do you know, they''ve quit burning wood in some places in the Eastern States?
5818Whah was yo''eyes?
5818What has started this sudden excitement about iron?
5818Where are the papers?--Have you got the papers safe?
5818Why could n''t these things have happened in father''s day?
5818Why what is the republic of America for an eye- water country?
5818Why woman, do you suppose that man do n''t know what he is about?
5818Willing?
5818Wo n''t I fix you, though!--ponies, cows, dogs, everything you can think of that''ll delight a child''s heart- and-- Why how''s this?

36188Did he do this? 36188 Did you find anything at the close of it that you did not like?
36188From what source did the Military Commission** derive their authority?
36188Mr. Bingham( interrupting).--And not crimes? 36188 Mr. Bradley: And offered it once and withdrew it?
36188Q.--Do you know Mr. Weichman? 36188 Q.--Do you remember any occasion-- some dinner occasion?
36188Q.--I understood you to say that it was a subject of general conversation among the rebel officers? 36188 Q.--Were you in Carroll prison with him?
36188Who will dare to say that in the time of civil war no person shall be deprived of life, liberty and property, without due process of law? 36188 : Conspiracy, Murder, Attempt at murder, Lying in wait? 36188 Again we ask why? 36188 And now what shall be said as to this taking of human life? 36188 And what shall we say of William H. Seward? 36188 But does it? 36188 But we ask what reason had theGreat War Minister""to perpetrate so pitiless an outrage?"
36188But where was Booth?
36188But who remains in the room, meets with the Court and participates in its secret and solemn deliberations?
36188But why was the resurrection delayed until February, 1873?
36188Could the fatuity of folly farther go?
36188Did you find at the end of the record a recommendation to mercy in the case of Mrs. Surratt that the President never saw?
36188Does this mean that Speed was an unseen spectator of the confidential interview, and witnessed the writing of the death- warrant?
36188Ewing.--Do you base it, then, only on the law of nations?
36188Ewing.--I should like an answer to my question, if it is to be given: How many crimes are my clients charged with and being tried for?
36188Ewing.--Is that all the answer to the question?
36188Ewing.--Or whether they are charged with four distinct crimes in this one charge?
36188How?
36188If the sick President did not carefully scrutinize the papers, was that the Judge- Advocate''s fault?
36188In the meantime, the city, and even the whole country to its very borders, were agitated by the question: What is to be the fate of Mrs. Surratt?
36188Is it so?"
36188Is she too ironed?
36188Is this in truth a sufficient explanation?
36188Johnson.--Is the opinion here to which the objection refers?
36188Johnson.--May I ask who the member of the Court is that makes that objection?
36188Maintaining the most rigorous allegiance to the simple unadulterated truth, what can be said?
36188The Shylocks of the days of arbitrary power dropped their sharpened knives and ejaculated,"Is that the law?"
36188The grand question still remains, Was the judgment just?
36188The only question about it which could any longer agitate the people was, had it been suppressed?
36188WAS IT NOT MURDER?
36188Was She Ironed?
36188Was it not Murder?
36188Was it to forestall a last possible effort of reckless and suicidal despair?
36188What are we to think of the complaint of a Union General, that"a rebel party"fired( first?
36188What conceivable motive, we ask again, to invent such a story-- so easy of refutation, so ruinous to himself, if refuted?
36188What in Mars''name did this warrior expect?
36188What more could the successor of the murdered Lincoln want?
36188When he bearded the President in his Cabinet?
36188When he defied him in the War Department, and scattered his missive of removal to the winds?
36188When was he taken with it?
36188Where can we look in the history of the world for a parallel to such a spectacle?
36188Where now was the redoubtable Bingham who, over and over again, had assured the Commission he guided of the unmistakable guilt of all these persons?
36188Who but Recorder Joseph Holt, the head of the Bureau of Military Justice, the left hand of Stanton as Baker was his right?
36188Who gives to the Court the jurisdiction to decide upon the moral character of the counsel who may appear before them?
36188Who makes them the arbiters of the public morality and professional morality?
36188Why consult his confidential advisers after he had decided the whole matter?
36188Why did he not at that crisis come forward with the proof of which the Judge- Advocate was so dreadfully in need?
36188Why did he not"make public"what Seward had told him, while Seward was living?
36188Why did n''t you bring it in?
36188Why did n''t you put that record in evidence, and let us have it here?"
36188Why did not his former assistant even relieve his tremendous anxiety by telling him that he had evidence which would blow the calumny into the air?
36188Why may he not have been bad enough to suppress the recommendation?
36188Why should Bingham have obeyed the"advice,"even if given by Stanton so long before?
36188Why should he not have kept back the timorous suggestion of five officers, who were so soft- hearted as to"discriminate"as to sex?
36188Why, then, do we hear nothing from Judge Bingham for three years more?
36188but that when"it became his duty as an officer to fire upon a rebel party"the rebel party fired) back?
36188e._, the Rebellion) he entered into it to aid it, did he not?"
36188where Atzerodt?
36188where Herold?
20290And now, gentlemen of the Convention,said he,"what do we want?"
20290Are you aware, General,said the Senator,"that the Attorney- General must represent the Government in the Supreme Court?"
20290But did you know that he must there meet Daniel Webster, Reverdy Johnson, and other leading lawyers?
20290But,persisted Tucker,"will you love me when you get to be President?"
20290Can there,said he with dramatic effect,"be a point of pride against laying upon that sacred soil to- day the flag for which our fathers died?
20290Colonel B., will you not have a bone?
20290Colonel E., will you help to that chicken- pie before you?
20290Do n''t it distress you,said the Boston maiden,"to have Mr. Clay gamble?"
20290Do n''t you remember our conversations during the long walks we took together last summer at Newport, while in attendance on Story''s court?
20290Do you mean,said Mr. Brown,"to assert that what I have said is false?"
20290Douglas,says Tucker,"will you_ always_ love me?"
20290Have you the papers?
20290Is the demand for the previous question seconded?
20290Mr. Thompson,interrupted Mr. Devens,"how long since have they been wearing spurs in the navy?"
20290My dear Walker,said he, in amazement,"what is the matter?"
20290Nor anything to drink?
20290Then it may be the specie circular?
20290Well, sir,said he, in an angry tone,"you are the man who had the audacity to disfigure Old Ironsides?"
20290Well,good- naturedly replied Old Hickory,"do n''t I deserve just as much credit for picking out the man who could write it?"
20290Well,said Mr. Wade,"what can I do for you?
20290What do we want?
20290What do you want me to do for you?
20290What is it, then?
20290What is to be done?
20290What new part will Roscius next enact?
20290What sort of a man is General Pierce?
20290What was it?
20290What,retorted Mr. Clay,"can you look me in the face, sir, and say that you never used that language?"
20290Who is that lady?
20290''And why,''the monarch cried,''Desire again to share life''s toils?''
20290''My girl,''said I,''how deep''s the water and what''s the price of butter?''
20290''Well, what of that?
20290''Wha''ll be King but Charley?''
20290''What on earth is the matter with your chief?''
20290----, can you call again?''
20290A sharp witted opponent, to draw him out asked:"Should n''t niggers be permitted to sit at the table with white folks, on steamboats and at hotels?"
20290And why did I not, sir?
20290Are you in the business of shelving papa?
20290B., you have absented yourself from the House during its sittings, contrary to law, and without leave of the House; what excuse have you to offer?"
20290Blair?"
20290But how could we retreat?
20290Cutting, in a sneering tone,"that the gentleman from New York rose for?"
20290General Jackson, who was escorting a lady, promptly extended his hand, saying pleasantly:"How do you do, Mr. Adams?
20290General Thomas arose, and looking him in the eye, replied,"I have said so; do you wish to know on what authority?"
20290Had a good v''yage?"
20290Have n''t we( hic) had a turn( hic) over, gentlemen?"
20290He immediately inquired:"Is this Doniphan, who made that splendid march across the plains and swept the swift Comanches before him?"
20290He soon gathered up, when the following colloquy ensued:"Well, driver( hic), we''ve had quite a turn( hic) over, haint we?"
20290How could we make peace?
20290How did you find the roads from Lexington to here?"
20290How much is it?"
20290I asked him,''What are you suffering from?''
20290I told him what I wanted, and supposed I was going to get a direct answer, when, what do you think?
20290I wonder whether he knows himself what he is doing?
20290If the rest of the world have not learned that lesson, how shall they teach us?
20290It is contagious, I believe?"
20290It was inquired how Sam had always so much to eat?
20290Me, who was a Whig when you gentlemen were riding cornstalk horses in your fathers''barnyards?"
20290Meeting his old and intimate friend, General Armstrong, the next day, the President said,"Well, Bob, what do the people say of my message?"
20290One spree at Johnny Coyle''s; one spree at Johnny Coyle''s; And who would not be glad to join a spree at Johnny Coyle''s?"
20290Or,"I received some fine cod- fish from Boston to- day, sir; will you dine with me at five o''clock and taste them?"
20290Polk?"
20290Shall the main question be now put?"
20290She looked up with apparent astonishment and inquired,''Is that all?''
20290Sir, the gentleman says he is reminded by my speech of the''nursery rhyme,''''Who shot Cock Robin?
20290Such a motion having been made in one case, a voice cried out in the confusion which filled the chamber:"How are you going to do it?"
20290The young lady, in her Puritan simplicity, inquired:"Is card- playing a common practice here?"
20290Then, turning to the other lady, he asked,"Will you introduce your friend?"
20290They circulated large editions of a tract by Horace Greeley, entitled,"Why am I a Whig?"
20290This attention disturbed the sleeper, who gave a loud snort, when the boy jumped back and said,"You would n''t bite a blind boy, would you?"
20290This region of savages and wild beasts, of deserts of shifting sands and whirlwinds of dust, of cactus and prairie dogs?
20290Turning to Mr. Wade, he exclaimed:"Surely, you will not prevent me from taking my old black mammy with me?"
20290Upon what terms?
20290Was there ever witnessed such a barefaced corruption in any country before?"
20290What Representative could vote against the claim of a man whose money he had been winning, in small sums, it is true, all winter?
20290What became of the ten tribes?
20290What can we ever hope to do with the western coast, a coast of three thousand miles, rock- bound, cheerless, uninviting, and not a harbor on it?
20290What of future hopes?
20290What of it?"
20290What of past glories?
20290What use have we for this country?"
20290What was to be done?
20290What will become of public liberties?
20290Where is to be your boundary line?
20290Where the end of the principles we shall have to give up?
20290Who bids?"
20290Why do n''t he mind his own business?''
20290Why do you take off your coat here?"
20290Why, Mr. Wright, do you not know that he carries more than a pound of British lead in his body?"
20290[?]
20290he exclaimed,"with this vast, worthless area?
20290unwhig me?
20290what do you want?"
20290yes,"replied Mr. Wade,"you run the cook- shop down- stairs, do n''t you?"
5819Abolish''n wan''t it? 5819 And thee wo n''t go?"
5819And when thee has got the education thee wants, and lost all relish for the society of thy friends and the ways of thy ancestors, what then?
5819But how does that concern us? 5819 But in what capacity would I go?"
5819Can''t- take- me?
5819Did thee ever think, Margaret, whether, she can endure being thwarted in an, object on which she has so set her heart, as she has on this? 5819 Harry,"said Philip, after a pause,"what have you got on those big boots for; do you expect to wade ashore?"
5819Has thy mother led a useless life?
5819Have you breakfasted Colonel?
5819Here?
5819How far?
5819I know,said Margaret Bolton, with a half anxious smile, thee chafes against all the ways of Friends, but what will thee do?
5819I reckon you did n''t git them boots no wher''s this side o''Sent Louis?
5819I suppose your capital is largely in your plantation?
5819I suppose, Senator, that you have become acclimated to this country?
5819Is n''t this jolly?
5819Is thee going to the Yearly Meeting, Ruth?
5819Plague? 5819 Ruth?"
5819Take it of course,says Gringo, take anything that offers, why not?"
5819Take it? 5819 Thee will no doubt break things enough when thy time comes, child; women always have; but what does thee want now that thee has n''t?"
5819Well, why do n''t you go into something? 5819 What does this mean?
5819What makes you think the road will go there? 5819 What plague, indeed?
5819What sort of business can a young man go into without capital?
5819What''s jolly?
5819What''s the good, father, of a series of human beings who do n''t advance any?
5819When do you go?
5819Where thee and thy family are known?
5819Why did n''t you take it?
5819Why do n''t you see? 5819 Why should I?
5819Yes, but what is it for, what is it all about?
5819An opening eh?"
5819And if I had a fortune, would thee want me to lead a useless life?"
5819And the lectures, and the dissecting rooms, has thee thought of the dissecting rooms?"
5819And was it all present?
5819And, besides, suppose thee does learn medicine?"
5819Are all books lies?
5819At length she interrupted the conversation by asking,"You''d sell the stock, I suppose, Mr. Bigler, to anybody who was attracted by the prospectus?"
5819Bolton?"
5819Brown?"
5819But he only said,"Has thee consulted thy mother about a career, I suppose it is a career thee wants?"
5819Can such a slight little body endure the ordeal of the preparation for, or the strain of, the practice of the profession?"
5819Did I tell you I had an offer from Bobbett and Fanshaw to go into their office as confidential clerk on a salary of ten thousand?"
5819Did she come to herself?
5819Do all men who wear big diamond breast- pins, flourish their knives at table, and use bad grammar, and cheat?"
5819Does thee think I lack nerve?
5819Does thee think thee could stand it six months?
5819Even this open declaration of his hospitable intention not being understood the Colonel politely said,"Gentlemen, will you take something?"
5819Everybody liked the young fellow, for how could they help liking one of such engaging manners and large fortune?
5819First visit?
5819For what would there have been to conquer?
5819From the East, perhaps?
5819How does that fruit strike you?"
5819How does that strike your engineering eye, Mr. Thompson?
5819How is that?"
5819How?
5819I would''nt take three fortunes for one little operation I''ve got on hand now-- have anything from the casters?
5819If they were orphans, would they like to be brought up in a Grecian temple?
5819Is he going to start a daily newspaper among the Kick- a- poos?"
5819Is it true that he gave money to help build the pretty little church of St. James the Less, and that he is, one of the vestrymen?"
5819Is that too soon?"
5819Is the pathos in the eyes of the Beatrice Cenci from her guilt or her innocence?
5819Is thy father willing thee should go away to a school of the world''s people?"
5819It occurred to him, now, that the Colonel had not invited him lately-- could he be offended?
5819It''s twenty miles, on the map, off the straight line of the road?"
5819Jo.?"
5819Jo?"
5819Les, see, what state''s Massachusetts in?"
5819Looking for an opening?"
5819Meantime why should they be separated?
5819Meeting the two friends in the lobby one evening, he asked them to give him the time, and added:"Excuse me, gentlemen-- strangers in St. Louis?
5819No?
5819No?
5819One of the men in Third street asked him the other day, whether his was a high church or a low church?
5819Perhaps I ought n''t said anything, but its bound to come out sooner or later, so what is the odds?
5819Ruth turned square round to her mother, and with an impassive face and not the slightest change of tone, said,"Mother, I''m going to study medicine?"
5819Shall we walk?"
5819She caught his arm and cried,"George, how can you joke so cruelly?
5819Stopping here, gentlemen-- stopping at the Southern?"
5819Was her husband ever cold or indifferent?
5819Was n''t it the broadest and the longest street in the world?
5819Was there anything left in her heart but hate and bitterness, a sense of an infamous wrong at the hands of the only man she had ever loved?
5819Was this the plain family dinner?
5819Was woman ever prudent when she loved?
5819What are their opinions to me?
5819What is there to fear in a person dead more than in a person living?"
5819What one useful thing could I do for a living, for the support of mother and the children?
5819What plague?"
5819What would happen to me if thee should lose thy property and die?
5819Where are you going?"
5819Why is thee so discontented?"
5819Why should I rust, and be stupid, and sit in inaction because I am a girl?
5819Will there not always be rosin enough for the squeaking fiddle- bow?
5819You got that basket of champagne?
5819You have n''t looked about any yet, gentlemen?
5819You''d rather sit here in front than go to my apartments?
5819by the way-- New York, did you say?
5823A waste of time, to purify the fountain of public law? 5823 Again I thought, Is this a theatre?
5823And are n''t you tired sometimes of the struggle?
5823Any scruples about capital punishment?
5823Any which?
5823Are you an idiot?
5823Are you cold?
5823Are you comfortable, Laura?
5823But what are the ways?
5823But,asked the Squire,"do you mean to abandon your land in Pennsylvania?"
5823Can I see her letter?
5823Can you read?
5823Can you read?
5823Can you read?
5823Die and leave the Duchess to fight it out all alone? 5823 Do you mean to insult me?"
5823Do you think you would be contented to live in Fallkill, and attend the county Court?
5823Do you think, Mr. Dilworthy, that the Hawkinses will get much of the money?
5823Does n''t it look like it?
5823Have n''t any particular business, eh? 5823 Have you any conscientious objections to capital punishment?"
5823Have you formed or expressed any opinion on this case, and do you know any of the parties?
5823Have you heard of this case?
5823Have you read anything about this case?
5823How is it that the reports made no impression on you?
5823How long does it take to disinfect itself of these minor impurities?
5823I do n''t know, she has a kind of beauty-- she is not like--''Not like Alice?"
5823I say, do you know what an oath is?
5823I''m afraid you could n''t go down very far in four hours-- could you?
5823Is she as beautiful as the newspapers say she is?
5823It goes up into the dozens, does it?
5823Now, Roberts, you are sure about this?
5823Oh, bother the effect!--What is it they do do? 5823 Oh, yes it can, too""Why, how?"
5823On what, for instance, just now?
5823Own some terriers, eh? 5823 Then why waste all the session in that tomfoolery of trying members?"
5823Tired? 5823 Well wo n''t it expel anybody?"
5823Well, at last, what do you think happened? 5823 Well, what did Congress do?"
5823Well, when nobody is expelled, what does the country think then?
5823Well?
5823Were there no combinations, no railroad jobs, no mining schemes put through in connection with the election? 5823 What for?
5823What is to hinder having a home of my, own?
5823What is your business?
5823What is your reason for supposing that there is coal there?
5823What sort of a home is it for the wife whose husband is always away riding about in his doctor''s gig?
5823What-- sure that it''s coal?
5823When did you strike it?
5823Who does it have a good moral effect on?
5823Who will pay for the sign, Ruth?
5823Why, do you suppose they will hang a woman? 5823 Would this feeling rather incline you against a capital conviction?"
5823Would you object to finding a person guilty-- of murder on evidence?
5823You do n''t mean to say,asked Philip,"that he went in without paying anything?"
5823Am I in some far- off monarchy, looking upon little princes and princesses?
5823Am I in some strange foreign clime where the children are marvels that we know not of?
5823Am I nothing-- to you?"
5823And can you eat any thing?"
5823And what do you think it was?
5823And would you want me to be dependent, Philip?"
5823At the same moment the lady in the bonnet advanced towards him and said something like,"George, will you go with me?"
5823But thee did n''t listen to him again?"
5823But what if he did?
5823But, Ruth, do you think you would be happier or do more good in following your profession than in having a home of your own?"
5823Coal?
5823Come, now, how do they proceed?"
5823Come, what is the matter?
5823Could Laura have run away with him?
5823Did anybody tell you to say you had no opinion about it?"
5823Did he ever hear of this case?
5823Did he not know that the very"spittoon"which his judgeship used cost the city the sum of one thousand dollars?
5823Did it last year?
5823Do n''t you see how our bad luck has worked on me?
5823Do they say I shot him?".
5823Do you suppose they will be so barbarous as that?"
5823Do you think a Congress of ours could convict the devil of anything if he were a member?"
5823Had he not helped to build and furnish this very Court House?
5823Had the flight anything to do with Selby?
5823Has n''t it good timber, and does n''t the railroad almost touch it?"
5823Have not these big babies with beards filled all literature with their outcries, their griefs and their lamentations?
5823Have you any conscientious scruples about capital punishment?"
5823Have you ever heard of this case?"
5823Hawkins?"
5823He was about to be sworn, when the district attorney turning to him carelessly, remarked,"Understand the nature of an oath?"
5823Hold on a bit?
5823How do they proceed?
5823I ask you, my little friends, What did my consciousness reply?
5823I have been asking myself as I sat here, Where am I?
5823I wonder if Mr. Bolton''would rather sell out or work it?"
5823In Harry''s- room on the table Philip found this note:"Dear Mr. Brierly:--Can you meet me at the six o''clock train, and be my escort to New York?
5823Is it a concert or a gilded opera?
5823Is it nothing to show a disposition to sift things and bring people to a strict account?
5823Is it some other vain, brilliant, beautiful temple of soul- staining amusement and hilarity?
5823Is this woman a specimen of your western friends?"
5823It shall never be said that Beriah Sellers--Come in?"
5823Keep a rat pit?"
5823Laura''s only reply was, very simply,"Did I shoot him?
5823Let''s see?"
5823Ruth, do you believe a woman ever becomes a devil?"
5823Struck it, eh?
5823The University bill was sure to pass this, time, and that would make money plenty, but might not the, help come too late?
5823The attorney sat down, and the clerk called?"
5823The clerk says that the gentleman asked her,"What do you want to see him for?"
5823The man was about to be sworn, when Mr. Braham asked,"Could your father read?"
5823Then what is it?
5823Then what suggested it to you to volunteer that remark?"
5823Then where am I?
5823We took it to be that""Did you from the first?"
5823Well, what''s your general business?
5823What are you wilting down like that, for?
5823What did my consciousness reply?
5823What do you do for a living?"
5823What else, can we get for you?"
5823What quality is it?"
5823What should you say it was, children?
5823What was Laura''s object in taking Harry?
5823What was it for?"
5823What would he care for it then?
5823When?
5823Where could they, have gone?
5823Where is it?
5823Who would be alive to care for it then?
5823Why, indeed, might we not feel pity for a woman whose brilliant career had been so suddenly extinguished in misfortune and crime?
5823Would Harry be such a fool as to be dragged into some public scandal?
5823Would it never get on?
5823Would the clerk tell him that a lady and gentleman wished to see him for a moment in the parlor?
5823Would you like to try it again in the spring, Phil?"
5823Yes-- where am I?
55719And Cyrus?
55719And if it was n''t for that you''d accept my''proposition''--now-- wouldn''t you?
55719And what was it that you did n''t really believe?
55719And why should you assume that every careless reply I make is a carefully thought out attack on you?
55719And you''re sure she wishes to marry you?
55719Are you trying to make it impossible for us to remain under the same roof?
55719But how about those who have n''t? 55719 But how are they to compete with the young married women if they do n''t?"
55719But then, everything we get credit for is all yours; ai n''t it, pa?
55719But why do you rave to me?
55719But why on earth did n''t you cable us?
55719But why?
55719Certainly, I sha n''t leave-- why should I?
55719Cold, because we do n''t set ourselves on fire?
55719Did you ever try?
55719Did you get it for him?
55719Do n''t you think your vanity makes you morbid?
55719Do you believe us?
55719Do you deny that it''s true?
55719Do you love him, Nadeshda-- really?
55719Do you think so?
55719Do you wish something?
55719Does Nadeshda know you are n''t rich?
55719Good ride?
55719He''s big and strong and sensible; and what more does a woman usually ask for? 55719 He''s_ so_ clever?"
55719I had a reason for it-- didn''t Nadeshda tell you what it was?
55719I know I''m unfortunate in trying to express myself to you, but why do you never attribute to me anything but the worst intentions?
55719I suppose you wish me to take charge of your social matters-- relieve you of the burdensome part of entertaining?
55719In what particular sort of folly are you about to embark?
55719Is n''t it stupid, this fussing about being on time?
55719MaBurke asked him,"How did you make out with her folks?"
55719Most of the stiffness is strangeness on both sides, do n''t you think?
55719My dear,she said in French,"what is it?
55719Not even Nadeshda?
55719Oh, has Jessie told you?
55719Really?
55719So you are afraid to marry me for fear people-- your friends-- will say that-- I walked right into the trap?
55719Take a Talltowers when there''s a chance to get one? 55719 Take_ you_?"
55719Then it is n''t because you do n''t want to, but because you do n''t dare to?
55719Then you do n''t intend to have anything to do with me after I''ve crossed the line and become a toiler?
55719Then you do wish to give me a trial? 55719 Then you mean that you''re going to sacrifice my mother''s happiness and mine, simply because you''re afraid of being accused of mercenary motives?"
55719Then you were making me a serious business proposition?
55719Tired, dear?
55719To- morrow-- to- morrow morning?
55719Was there something worrying you?
55719Well, Gus,she said,"has that wild man told you?"
55719Well-- and why did n''t you take me when I finally fell into the trap?
55719What are you talking about, pa?
55719What do such positions pay?
55719What do you mean by that?
55719What do you mean?
55719What is it, dear? 55719 What-- what-- compensation would you expect, may I ask?"
55719Whatever have I got my fool self into?
55719When do you think you could come?
55719When do you wish me to come-- if you do wish it at all?
55719Why did you dislike me at first?
55719Why do you ride in a street- car?
55719Why run such a risk?
55719Why should he?
55719Why should you want-- me?
55719Wo n''t you tell_ me_? 55719 Wo n''t you?"
55719Would n''t you like me to tell mother?
55719Would you object to giving me some idea of what the Burkes pay?
55719Would-- say-- twenty- five dollars a week be-- meet with your views?
55719You had to_ explain_ who a Talltowers is?
55719You think she''ll take me?
55719_ Enjoy_ myself?
55719''That makes you my wife,''he said in a_ dreadful_ voice-- oh, it was--_magnifique!_--and he said,''Do you understand?''
55719And I couldn''t-- could I?
55719And after a while the President came and said:"Is this your reception, madam, or is it mine?"
55719And he looked at her in his dumb way and said:"What she''ll do_ next_?
55719And who''d fail to laugh at wit admired by an ambassador?
55719Anybody could see it after talking to either of them for five minutes; yet who could say why?
55719Are those your books?"
55719As I was saying-- or, rather, writing-- Jim stood behind me and said in a husky sort of voice:"You ai n''t goin''to do it, are you, Gus?"
55719Besides, if I do n''t mind, why should you?
55719Burke?"
55719Burke?"
55719But could I?
55719But hearts have a way of finding each other, have n''t they?"
55719But how can we?
55719But if we do n''t send that sort of people to foreign courts, how are we to repay the insults they send us in the form of imbecile attachés?''
55719But-- do the Daraganes think that Nadeshda is safe from Robert, or have they decided to take him in?
55719But-- is there?
55719Can a man make a more degrading confession than that?"
55719Did you ever see the like?
55719Did you ever wear a Mother Hubbard?
55719Did you see her night before last in that dress of silver spangles like the wonderful skin of some amazing serpent?
55719Every bit of my courage fled, and-- but what''s the use of trying to describe it?
55719Gus, why ca n''t you marry me and let me save you from this just as a brother might save a sister?"
55719Have n''t I seen, day after day, how you''ve done everything you could to spare her-- how you''ve worn yourself out?"
55719Have they some sort of understanding?
55719I like ceremony, do n''t you?"
55719I said:"What is it-- ma?"
55719I suddenly said to her:"Jessie, did you ever tell Nadeshda that you had planned to marry me to Cyrus Burke?"
55719I wonder if I am vainer than most people, or does everybody make the same ridiculous discovery about himself when he takes himself off his guard?
55719I wonder if he really cares or did care-- for me, or was it just"ma"trying to get me into the family, and he willing to do anything she asked of him?
55719I wonder why they teach men at Harvard to use their lips in making words as a Miss Nancy sort of man uses his fingers in doing fancy work?
55719I''m not an utter cad-- now, do n''t say,''Are n''t you, sir?''"
55719Jessie overheard him after a while and leaned round and said to me,"How do you and young Mr. Burke get on?"
55719Jessie went on more loudly:"And now that our_ business_ is settled, ca n''t we have some lunch, Mrs. Burke?
55719Let me see, how many sets are there?
55719Miss Talltowers, will you marry me?"
55719Now, whatever did_ that_ mean?
55719Quite a library is n''t it?
55719She went on to me:"You do n''t mind our calling each other pa and ma before you, do you, Miss Talltowers?
55719So, why get headaches learning things?
55719That was rather good for a man who had had less than a month''s real experience with women, was n''t it?
55719The last thing she said to me was:"Do you know when we became engaged?
55719The salary is-- is satisfactory?"
55719To- morrow?
55719What do you think of my hair?"
55719What else could he do?
55719What''s the matter?"
55719When can you come?"
55719Why these little smiles all afternoon whenever you forgot where you were?"
55719Why?
55719Yet, what is one to do?
5821And that we owe the men and the contractors nearly ten thousand dollars besides?
5821And then-- burst up, I suppose?
5821Another appropriation, do n''t you see?
5821Beg pardon?
5821But how great, Laura? 5821 But is it going to be as much as people say it is?"
5821But the poor Injuns-- not that I care much for Injuns-- what did he do for them?
5821But what makes you think so?
5821But will it be soon, Laura?
5821Close? 5821 Did you see Hopperson last night after the congressional prayer meeting?"
5821Do you find it hard and lonely to be so far from your home and friends, Miss Hawkins?
5821Do you think any thing can be done, sir?
5821Free?
5821Have you Taine''s England?
5821He said that, did he?
5821I suppose you heard of the fright we had two weeks ago last Saturday? 5821 If you had n''t levied the assessment you would have been in a close place I judge?"
5821Indeed? 5821 Indeed?
5821Is it not so, mamma?
5821Is there anything more?
5821My daughter,said the Senator, with a grave look,"I trust there was nothing free in his manner?"
5821Not exactly, he said-- shall I tell you what he said?
5821Now does it, indeed? 5821 Now what can the girl mean?
5821Oh, I saw Senator Balloon"He will help us, I suppose? 5821 They ought, ought they?
5821Was that where you learned to play the bones? 5821 What do they say it is?"
5821Why is n''t it? 5821 Why no-- can that be so?"
5821Why so?
5821Why, Phil,she would say,"what puts you in the dumps to day?
5821All--"Indeed?"
5821Am I right?"
5821And then Hicks went on, with a serious air,"Colonel, if you register a letter, it means that it is of value, does n''t it?
5821Are you fond of watering- places, Miss Hawkins?"
5821Are you?
5821B.''?"
5821Brierly?"
5821But how do those letters strike you?"
5821But how would it strike you if I were to say that I was in Washington all the time this bill was pending?
5821But to go back a bit, it begins to look as if you never saw any of that appropriation at all?"
5821But where is it?"
5821But, after all, was that the best way?
5821Confound the girl, he would say to himself, why does she never tease Harry and that young Shepley who comes here?
5821Did Ruth care for anybody at Fallkill?
5821Did Ruth ever speak of him?
5821Did n''t you show him he was in error about the bill?"
5821Did she care for anything except her profession?
5821Did she think Ruth cared for him?
5821Do n''t you think so Colonel?"
5821Do you know any of their signatures?
5821Do you know their handwriting?"
5821Do you know this signature here?--and this one?
5821Do you know who those initials represent-- and are they forgeries?"
5821Do you like winter, Miss Hawkins?"
5821Do you think I am in love with her?"
5821Does Alice appear to be present when she is absent?"
5821Does he believe in anything?"
5821Does it mend the matter by calling her your sister?
5821Does she think I have turned idiot?
5821Gashly?"
5821Had Ruth a premonition of Philip''s intention, in his manner?
5821Has, a confessor, if she is young and pretty, any feeling?
5821Have n''t you paid the men?"
5821Have you figured up the total of the disbursements I told you of?"
5821He did not make any objections?"
5821He''s a kind of--""Eh?
5821Higgins?"
5821How are we going to pay them when you do n''t honor our drafts?"
5821How do you like Washington?"
5821I can depend on you for that, ca n''t I?"
5821I had to tell him some of the side arrangements, some of the--""You did n''t mention me?"
5821I suppose I did ask you, did n''t I?"
5821I suppose you seldom meet in society now, the people you used to be familiar with twelve or fifteen years ago?"
5821I think we ought all-- to share our pleasures with others, and do what we can to make each other happy, do not you?"
5821I wonder what Dilworthy does think of me anyway?
5821Introductions followed, and then the usual original question,"How do you like Washington, Miss Hawkins?"
5821Is it hymns?"
5821Is n''t that so?"
5821It is part of your business, then?"
5821It is the land that''s to bring the money, is n''t it Laura?
5821Laura--"And Hildebrand and Percy-- are they-- are they like this one?"
5821Let me see-- have I stated all the expenses I''ve been at?
5821Might I ask you to give me the time?
5821Miss Emmeline Gashly--"What and leave poor Johnny Peterson behind?"
5821Mrs. Gashly--"Is it your first visit?"
5821Must you go?
5821No?
5821Oh bless my soul, you ca n''t mean that you have not paid these people?"
5821Oreille?"
5821Oreille?"
5821Said he:"Have you ever read this, ma''m?
5821Sellers took a like amount?"
5821She caught such remarks as,"Who is she?"
5821Some people jump to conclusions without any thought-- you have noticed that?"
5821That''s good economy, is n''t it?"
5821The Senator spoke with feeling, and then added,"I hope you showed Hopperson that our motives were pure?"
5821The appropriation?--that paltry$ 200,000, do you mean?"
5821The porter returned in a minute; and asked whom he would like to see?
5821The president smiled blandly, even sweetly, all through this harangue, and then said:"Is that so?"
5821The words were music to his ear; but what were they compared to the ravishing smile with which she flooded his whole system?
5821Then after a pause-- he did not notice Laura''s smiles"Laura, would you lay the main hall in encaustic tiles, or just in fancy patterns of hard wood?"
5821Then both came forward and the proprietor said:"Is it an American book, ma''m?"
5821Then he said:"Now here, for instance; do you believe that that is a genuine letter?
5821There''s two months''wages due the men, and----""How?
5821There, now-- does that satisfy you?"
5821Was it possible for a gentleman to get even with such a fellow as that conductor on the letter''s own plane?
5821Was n''t it enough to have offered the lady his seat, to have rescued her from an accident, perhaps from death?
5821Was n''t it old what''s his name?
5821Well, was it a myth, or was it a reality?
5821Well, well, well-- how did you ever have the nerve to approach him, of all others?"
5821What did he say?"
5821What woman, under the circumstances, would?
5821What''s the road out?"
5821Whatever become of it?"
5821Why should he have put himself in such a ridiculous position?
5821Why should n''t he speak his mind, and end his doubts?
5821Will it be millions?"
5821You are acquainted with the members down there, of course, else you could not have worked to such advantage?"
5821You can tell me that much, ca n''t you?"
5821You never suspected him?"
5821You remember his saying that, daughter?"
5821You remember, child, your father always admired thunder?"
5821You subscribed for 100 shares of the capital stock, at$ 1,000 a share, I believe?"
5821and what if I added that I put the measure through myself?
5821supplemented by that other usual original question,"Is this your first visit?"
5821that said only the beautiful is useful?"
5822And his wife!--Does he take his family? 5822 And now perhaps you think that if I refuse to support your bill, you will make a grand exposure?"
5822And you believed these slanders?
5822And you do love me a little?
5822Angry?
5822Believe in what?
5822But perhaps you do not know, you who have so much admiration, how sincere and overmastering his love is for you?
5822By the way,asked Harry,"who is that rather handsome party that''s hanging''round Laura?
5822Can I help it if they are attentive, can I be rude? 5822 Col. Selby, is it not?"
5822Did I?
5822Did Senator Bland?
5822Did he copy your speech for you?
5822Did you see those Japs, Miss Leavitt?
5822Did you send for we merely to insult me? 5822 Did you?
5822Do n''t you think he is distinguished looking?
5822Do you know him?
5822Do you? 5822 Does he know many Southerners?"
5822Does he want any capital? 5822 Excuse my bluntness,"he continued,"but would the knowledge of his love; would his devotion, make any difference to you in your Washington life?"
5822I suppose, though, you do n''t see much of the old rebel element?
5822In respect to what?
5822Indeed? 5822 Is anything uncommon going on?"
5822It''s who?
5822Laura? 5822 Miss Hawkins, what do yo mean by such talk as that?"
5822No, is it?
5822Ruth,said he one day when he was getting to be quite himself,"I believe in it?"
5822Treat you how?
5822Uncle, you and Brother Balaam are bosom friends-- why do n''t you get his paper to persecute us, too?
5822Very well, I will do it-- but why not tell me how you imagine it is going to help you?
5822Vote for a fr-- for a measure which is generally believed to be at least questionable? 5822 Washington weather generally can not be very congenial to you?"
5822Well if he wants to make a great speech why does n''t he do it?
5822Well if it was only a joke, why did you make a serious matter of it? 5822 Well, suppose it were a fraud-- which I feel able to deny-- would it be the first one?"
5822Well, what WOULD have been the result?
5822Well, would you mind telling me your opinion of it?
5822Well?
5822What do people say?
5822What do they say?
5822What is that?
5822What is, dear?
5822Who is he? 5822 Why do you treat me so?"
5822Why, do you remember that yet, Miss Hawkins? 5822 Why, what is it, sis?
5822With you? 5822 You do n''t say so?
5822You know my bill-- the Knobs University bill?
5822; what would have been the result?"
5822A suggestion came into her mind presently and she said:"Ca n''t you fight against his great Pension bill and, bring him to terms?"
5822And a look of bitterness coming into her face-- does the fool think he can escape so?
5822And besides, if I had been inclined to forget, I-- did you not give me something by way of a remembrancer?"
5822And did you wake me sir?
5822And if I win the game, will it be worth its cost after all?
5822And what have rest and contentment to do with love?
5822And why did n''t he kill me?
5822And you think I will have it; George?
5822And you''ve been here a week, Grace, and do n''t know?
5822At breakfast she asked if any one had heard any unusual noise during the night?
5822But have you kept that all this time?"
5822But how is this going to benefit you, after I have managed it?
5822But is n''t there something else you could give me, too?"
5822But seriously, you do not forget that some of the best and purest men in Congress took that stock in that way?"
5822But what could I do?
5822But would one be in earnest about so farcical a thing?"
5822Come, now, does n''t it improve?"
5822Could he not go into some State where it would not take much time?
5822Could it be possible that he was seriously affected?
5822Did I say he?
5822Did he not belong to her by virtue of her overmastering passion?
5822Did this seem like a damnable plot to Laura against the life, maybe, of a sister, a woman like herself?
5822Did you see his wife?"
5822Do you recognize this?"
5822Do you suppose he was ever approached, on the subject?"
5822Do you think that color makes any difference, Mr. Hawkins?
5822Had he not confessed it himself?
5822Had she not a right to him?
5822Had there not always been some way out of such scrapes?
5822Have you any friend whom you would like to present with a salaried or unsalaried position in our institution?"
5822Have you nothing to say?"
5822Hawkins?"
5822Hawkins?"
5822Hawkins?"
5822He could deal with those millions virtuously, and withal with ability, too-- but of course you would rather he had a salaried position?"
5822How am I to move my crops?
5822How came you here?
5822How could the Colonel manage to free himself from his wife?
5822I have been married once-- is that nothing in my favor?"
5822I never wear an umbrella in the house-- did anybody''notice it''?
5822I say''Well?''
5822I thought you were--""You thought I was dead?
5822I was married, and--""And your wife still lives?"
5822I wonder if he hates me as I do him?"
5822If he deserved punishment, what more would you have?
5822Indeed?
5822Is it possible the town is saying all these things about me?
5822Is it possible, she was thinking, that this base wretch, after, all his promises, will take his wife and children and leave me?
5822Laura looked up quickly, as if about to return an indignant answer to such impertinence, but she only said,"Well, what of Col. Selby, sauce- box?"
5822M.?"
5822Mr. Trollop winced-- then he said with dignity:"Miss Hawkins is it possible that you were capable of such a thing as that?"
5822Open your ears; for which of you will stop, The vent of hearing when loud Rumor speaks?
5822Perhaps Miss Hawkins can?"
5822Selby?"
5822Selby?"
5822Shall we bury the hatchet and be good friends and respect each other''s little secrets, on condition that I vote Aye on the measure?"
5822Should we leave them ignorant?
5822Should we leave them without tools?
5822Sterling?"
5822Still, what is all this to me?
5822Tell me-- how did you get hold of that page of manuscript?
5822That gawky looking person, with Miss Hawkins?"
5822The law?
5822Two millions?
5822Was not her love for George Selby deeper than any other woman''s could be?
5822Was that what you wanted to see me about?"
5822Was there something good in him, after all, that had been touched?
5822Well?
5822What account should we render to Him of our stewardship?
5822What am I going to do to give her up?"
5822What can I do for you?"
5822What can I do?
5822What did he think the government would offer?
5822What did she care for talk?
5822What did they say as they sat there?
5822What do you propose to do about it?"
5822What do you propose?"
5822What else were they for?
5822What had come over this thrilling young lady- killer?
5822What nothings do people usually say in such circumstances, even if they are three- score and ten?
5822What of it?
5822What was all this for and what does it amount to after all?
5822What was he doing?
5822What would the law do but protect him and make me an outcast?
5822What- asleep?
5822Where did you get it?
5822Where was his coolness?
5822Who is he, Blanche?"
5822Why all these questions?
5822Why did n''t he send his wife home?
5822Why did you get the speech written for you, and then read it in the House without ever having it copied?"
5822Why had he taken no steps to free himself?
5822Would he smile as in the old days when she loved him so; or would he sneer as when she last saw him?
5822Would it be long?
5822Would you-- did you wish me to vote for it?
5822You are not ignorant of his feeling towards you?"
5822You are offended, though, to have me speak of it?"
5822You seem to go the furthest around to get at a thing-- but you are in earnest, are n''t you?"
5822You think I am as powerless as that day I fell dead at your feet?"
5822You think I will let you live with that woman?
5822You thought you were rid of me?
5822You would n''t deceive me, Harry?"
5822Your being with him so much is the town talk, that''s all?"
6853A trunk key? 6853 A vendue?"
6853All right,agreed Bob equably,"I wo n''t kill him-- just nick him in a few places-- how will that do?"
6853And are you sure you have enough money?
6853And does n''t she say she''s found the deed? 6853 And now I think I had better go to the station, after our Betty, do n''t you?"
6853And what are we going to do with a car full of dogs?
6853And you tell Mr. Bender, wo n''t you? 6853 And, Betty, what do you think?
6853Any folded sheets, I mean, or a long envelope? 6853 Are n''t we, Bobby?
6853Are you going right to Washington?
6853Are you going to stay up there all day?
6853Are you hurt?
6853Are you really going, Betty?
6853Been rummaging in my coat pocket, have you?
6853Besides, as the child says, what good would an unrecorded deed do him? 6853 Betty Gordon, is n''t it?"
6853Betty, darling,she said comfortably,"you found your letter on the hall table all right, did n''t you?"
6853Betty, do you know what this young scoundrel is up to?
6853Bob Henderson? 6853 But suppose I should tell you I advised the lad to go there?
6853But was she born in Virginia?
6853But, oh, Bob, you say he was there a month ago?
6853By the way, how are you going to arrange about names? 6853 Ca n''t you make Mr. Peabody see how foolish such an accusation is?"
6853Can I go with you?
6853Can you open the doors? 6853 Could n''t I walk just a little way with you?"
6853Could n''t you all come in to- morrow morning and let me take you up on the roof?
6853Did Bob go to Washington?
6853Did he get my telegram?
6853Did n''t Bob Henderson say where he was going? 6853 Did n''t Bob say where he was going?"
6853Did the lad have money enough?
6853Did you ever see anything like that? 6853 Did you pick up any other papers?"
6853Did you-- did you say Oklahoma?
6853Do I, Louise? 6853 Do n''t suppose Dan told you my name?"
6853Do n''t you feel well? 6853 Do n''t you think,"she began again bravely,"that I had better go to Pineville?
6853Do n''t you want some money?
6853Do you know, I''ve just remembered that I promised to show Libbie how to make mile- a- minute lace before breakfast? 6853 Do you like to play checkers?
6853Do you ride?
6853Do you suppose we''re going to go past a dog and let it die in the rain? 6853 Do you think Mr. Peabody opened your letter?"
6853Do you think they could get some down to us? 6853 Does your Uncle Dick play?"
6853Does-- does Mrs. Brill know I''m coming?
6853Esther, are you hurt?
6853Flatly refuse to mind, do you? 6853 For goodness sake,"prodded Bobby impatiently,"what were you doing back there?
6853Going?
6853Good gracious, Dad, do n''t tell me I''ve forcibly run off with a girl? 6853 Got a nice day for your trip, have n''t you?
6853Had a full day?
6853Have n''t I just told you there is nothing to go in? 6853 Have we kidnapped anybody?"
6853Have you had any supper?
6853Have you had your breakfast?
6853How did you dare to hold back mail? 6853 How did you ever happen to come here, Bob?"
6853How did you get away from him?
6853How do we get out?
6853How do you expect me to get any sleep with that racket going on? 6853 How do you know he has n''t got it?"
6853How soon are you going to start? 6853 How''d you find out, Joseph?"
6853How-- how did it happen?
6853Hungry? 6853 I beg your pardon?"
6853I do n''t suppose you could be persuaded to go to see''The Rose- Pink Curtains''with us, and have a sundae afterward?
6853I hope you did n''t expect them to get up and make a speech?
6853I wonder if it''s all right to interrupt him?
6853I''d sail right into a cloud and see-- What was that?
6853Is he badly injured? 6853 Is he hurt?"
6853Is that a horse?
6853Is that so?
6853Is that so?
6853Is that something sticking out of the mail box? 6853 Is that where they had training camps during the war?"
6853Know him?
6853Let me go with you, Betty?
6853Let me take them one at a time and tidy them up?
6853Libbie, what did you see?
6853Long as you''re going over to Hagar''s Corners you wo n''t mind giving me a lift, will you?
6853Looks as if we used it regular every afternoon, does n''t it? 6853 May I present my husband?
6853No troubles this bright morning?
6853No? 6853 Now how much do you know?"
6853Now where are we going?
6853Of course I remember it; what about it?
6853Oh, Betty, do you see any office that looks like Sherwood and David on this board?
6853Oh, Betty, suppose he wanted to drag you back to Bramble Farm?
6853Oh, Momsie, is n''t this Betty Littell? 6853 Oh, ca n''t you stop the car and go down and get him?
6853Once more I ask you,he shook Bob violently,"are you going to hand over that paper?
6853Our guests have n''t seen the White House yet, have they?
6853Read to me?
6853See that man who is shouting at the clerk?
6853Shall I take you on in?
6853Something missing out o''your pocket?
6853Suppose I told you, in strictest confidence, young lady, for I think you''re a true friend to him, that he has relatives out there? 6853 That''s all we need, is n''t it, Bob?
6853The coat the letter fell out of?
6853Then you can dance?
6853They''re both clean, are n''t they? 6853 Uncle has n''t a fever or anything, has he?"
6853Was he in an accident?
6853Was he in bed when you came down, Ethan?
6853Well, could n''t you lend me your handkerchief, Carter?
6853Well, folks, all talked out?
6853Well?
6853What are you going for?
6853What are you going to do, Betty?
6853What are you two plotting?
6853What did you come for? 6853 What do you suppose he is arguing about?"
6853What do you think he accused me of this time? 6853 What do you think this is-- a boiler factory?
6853What good could the firemen do?
6853What has Bob to do with it?
6853What in the wide world are we going to do without you?
6853What is Fort Myer?
6853What lies heavy on your mind this evening?
6853What on earth do you want to make lace for?
6853What time would be most convenient to take my trunk over to Glenside or to Hagar''s Corners?
6853What you carrying?
6853What you lost, Joseph?
6853What''ll I do? 6853 What''ll we knock a hole in the roof with?"
6853What''s the matter?
6853What, Bob?
6853Where are you going? 6853 Where are you going?"
6853Where did he shake you? 6853 Where did you live then?"
6853Where did you say Bob was going?
6853Where do we go to send a telegram, Momsie?
6853Where do you suppose she is hiding?
6853Where do you suppose your uncle is?
6853Where is he?
6853Where''s Trowbridge?
6853Where? 6853 Who else would?"
6853Who said I was going to prison? 6853 Who''s been holding back mail?
6853Whose glasses, and what''s been in''em?
6853Why did you keep my letter?
6853Why do n''t you sit there and talk? 6853 Why does he keep insisting Bob stole it?
6853Why in tarnation does n''t that good for nothing bring in the milk?
6853Why should I start an argument with Fred? 6853 Why should you pick out a jeweler''s office and creep in through the window?
6853Why would n''t you leave''em?
6853Why, a vendue is a-- a-- what is it, Bob?
6853Why, what is the matter?
6853Will the station agent do it, do you suppose? 6853 You all agree to the ladder if this ai n''t a go?"
6853You believe in starting young, do n''t you? 6853 You can walk from there to that pretty tea- room-- what is its name, Bobby?--can''t you?"
6853You do n''t suppose Mr. Peabody will stay in Washington, hunting for you, do you?
6853You do n''t suppose he is down here after you, do you?
6853You do n''t want this one, do you?
6853You expect me to believe that?
6853You know a boy named Bob Henderson, do n''t you?
6853You''ll come and talk to him, wo n''t you?
6853You''re mother''s only son, are n''t you, dear?
6853You''re not going to walk to Glenside to- night to try to get a team to come after you?
6853You''re packing then?
6853You''ve got a way with children, have n''t you?
6853You- all get a nice view?
6853''Member that lady with the two children what racketed all day and all night?
6853All fixed?
6853All the through trains stop at Hagar''s Corners, do n''t they?
6853And now you''ll go round with us, wo n''t you?"
6853And the other girl-- where do you suppose she is?"
6853And what harm could it do Bob?
6853And what kind of housecleaning did they have in those days?
6853And who are the Littells?"
6853And why, oh, why did that poorhouse man have to tell where Bob had gone?"
6853And you can wear-- let me see, what can you wear?"
6853And you''d feel cheap, would n''t you, if you had to come back after you ran away because you did n''t have enough money?
6853And, Bob, why do n''t they send for the fire department?"
6853And, say, what do you think I heard over in Trowbridge?"
6853Anybody hurt?"
6853Are n''t you going back?"
6853Are there not stairs?"
6853Are you all right?"
6853Are you going out to the barn or not?"
6853Bender?"
6853Betty, for mercy''s sake, what are you staring at?"
6853But if he came down to Washington and said pointblank to you that you took it, it looks as if he thought you did, does n''t it?"
6853But perhaps the nerves of the young ladies are not equal to a climb down the fire escape?
6853But we''ll meet you for the sundae; wo n''t we, girls?"
6853CHAPTER XI A SERIOUS MIX- UP"You are Betty, are n''t you?"
6853Could n''t we stay overnight with Doctor Guerin?"
6853Could n''t you call a policeman?"
6853Derby?"
6853Did he mention anything about leaving Washington?"
6853Did he-- was he angry?"
6853Did you get out to Oklahoma?"
6853Did you know anything about that, Betty?"
6853Do n''t you want to bid for me Bob, to keep him in the dark?"
6853Do you know a man in Washington who keeps a bookshop?
6853Do you know?"
6853Do you mean to tell me they let that man go without notifying you?
6853Do you suppose something''s happened to him?"
6853Do you suppose we''d let a young girl like you knock around alone in a city?
6853Do you think he may be sick in some hospital and not able to communicate with us?"
6853Do you think it will be all right not to ask him in, Betty?"
6853Do you think we had better go?"
6853Do you want to learn to cook, Betty?
6853Eh?
6853Had some one been tampering with the lock?
6853Had they made a mistake and brought her to the wrong place?
6853Have n''t you made a mistake?
6853Have you heard from Bramble Farm or Uncle Dick?
6853He did n''t say he had a son, but I wonder----Oh, Bobby, the Jesuit fathers did n''t sail down the Potomac, did they?"
6853He would n''t hurt a flea, would he, Elinor?"
6853His mother''s two sisters, both of''em living on the old homestead?
6853How about that?"
6853How does he look?"
6853How long have you been in Washington?
6853How''s that?"
6853I suppose you think two rows of corn down flat is something to snicker at?"
6853I wonder if he could send Bob back to the poorhouse?"
6853I wonder if the doctor had n''t better see you?"
6853I''m a little bit scared, are n''t you?"
6853Is n''t he a nice baby?
6853Is she pretty-- can you see?"
6853Is that the secretary he bid on at the Faulkner sale?"
6853Looks mighty funny, does n''t it, to be packing up with something pretty valuable missing?
6853Neither of''em married and without near kith or kin so far as they know?
6853Not thinking of going to farming, are you?"
6853Oh, why did n''t she hear from Uncle Dick?
6853Only they are forget- me- nots, are n''t they?"
6853Peabody?"
6853Please, ca n''t I?"
6853Please?
6853Say, girls, did you know Washington gave that to Nellie Custis when she was married?
6853She had turned to compare her wrist- watch with the station clock when a voice at her back said half- doubtfully,"Betty?"
6853Sleep well?
6853Suppose I tell you that the old farm, as I locate it, is in the oil section?
6853Suppose I tell you that?"
6853Suppose he walks up?
6853Suppose the lad is entitled to his mother''s interest in the place?
6853Sure I''m not crippling you, Betsey?"
6853Sure you''re all right?"
6853That is, if it will not upset any one''s plans?
6853The Littells were kindness itself to her, but she craved a familiar face, some one to whom she could say,"Do you remember?"
6853The half- grown boy who accosted them with"What are you doing with our cow?"
6853Unless-- Joseph, have you bought the Warren lots?"
6853Was there a letter for me?"
6853We''re going to- day, are n''t we?"
6853We''re in Virginia, Betty, did n''t you know that?"
6853What do you suppose people in the hotel must think of him?"
6853What earthly use would it be to him?
6853What else did you find connected with weddings, Lib?"
6853What have I done that I should n''t, Bobby?"
6853What on earth does he think I could do with his old deed, anyhow?"
6853What on earth shall I do?"
6853What was it Bobby had called her home?
6853What were you thinking about in such a brown study?"
6853What will Mrs. Littell say?
6853What will she say?"
6853What would I be doing with a paper of yours?
6853What''s Bob stopping for?"
6853What''s his name?
6853What''s wrong, Carter?"
6853When did it happen?"
6853Where did you find her, Betty?"
6853Where was it-- in one of your coat pockets?"
6853Where''s the eats?"
6853Why are n''t you willing to help me go now that the summer is nearly over?"
6853Why did n''t the dub lock it up in his safe?"
6853Why, what''s this?"
6853Wo n''t you go upstairs and lie down and let me do the dishes?"
6853Would that seem funny, eh?"
6853Yes, or no?"
6853You have n''t been making lemonade?"
6853You have your baggage checks, have n''t you, girls?"
6853You know that gray alpaca coat of mine you took the letter from this morning?"
6853You miserable, sneaking loafer, where have you been?"
6853You will take some, wo n''t you?"
6853You would n''t mind if I patted you, would you?"
6853You''re not crying, are you, Betty?"
6853Your husband is n''t a minister, is he?"
6853Your husband missed the elevator, did n''t he?"
6853do n''t you think that''s pretty?"
6853she said impulsively,"What did it-- a stray cow?"
32556A boarding house?
32556About me, Alfy, what could you have been saying about me?
32556Ah, is it so soon? 32556 Alfy, are you sure you are not crazy?"
32556All right,replied Alfy,"do you need me to do up the back of your dress?"
32556An amusing anecdote, and I do n''t doubt a real one,said Aunt Betty, laughing with the others,"but is n''t that a wonderful old fountain?
32556And did you get a room there where Ruth is, Jim?
32556And how about our concert to- night?
32556And how is Miss Ruth, to- day?
32556And what did you think of it, Alfy?
32556And what is this key hanging here for?
32556Are we all here? 32556 Are you all here?"
32556Are you going out in front to sit with your aunt and Alfaretta, after you have finished?
32556Are you going to sing to- day?
32556Are you sure, dear, you have looked all over everything you have?
32556But have n''t you seen enough of the library now?
32556But is n''t it too bad that the locket just disappeared when we needed it? 32556 But, Aunt Betty,"asked Alfy,"what are you going to wear?"
32556Ca n''t we all go?
32556Can I go with you?
32556Can I wear that new pink dress, Aunty?
32556Can any one stay here and read anything they want, and as long as they want?
32556Can it take us back, then?
32556Could n''t you have walked a little faster, Ruth?
32556Dear, dear child, do n''t you know how foolish that was to do? 32556 Did Mr. Sterling have anything to do with trying to get you the place, Jim?"
32556Did anyone in the passenger cars get hurt?
32556Did you come to keep us company all the afternoon?
32556Did you have an uneventful trip?
32556Do n''t the people in New York care for gardens, aunty dear?
32556Do n''t you think it would be real nice if we four went for a drive this afternoon? 32556 Do the Republicans sit on the left of the Speaker here, and the Democrats on the right, as in the House?"
32556Do you and Alfy want to be audience again, while I play over my pieces once more?
32556Do you know their names? 32556 Do you know,"he repeated,"that I would like to render such service that you would never wish for any other servitor?"
32556Do you suppose I can get them here?
32556Do you suppose we have struck another train?
32556Do you think it is going to be real serious?
32556Do you want me to play again in New York?
32556Do you want to see the stage?
32556Do you want your black wrap? 32556 Dorothy dear, whatever made you forget?"
32556Dorothy girl, are you still in bed?
32556Dorothy, child, what ails you?
32556Dorothy, little Dorothy, did n''t you know before? 32556 Go home?"
32556Guess what?
32556Guess what?
32556Have n''t you any business friends in New York?
32556Have you no other proof?
32556How do they use it?
32556How many shall we need?
32556How, oh how, can I get it? 32556 Hurt her?
32556I ca n''t understand it, can you?
32556I suppose I ought to know, but who is the Speaker, and what does he do?
32556I wonder,said Aunt Betty, slowly, for she had been thinking,"I wonder if it could be?
32556I''m not scared, I''m sure of that; but do you think the people will like me?
32556In the taxi? 32556 Is any one hurt?"
32556Is it here?
32556Is n''t the floor lovely? 32556 Is that Benjamin Franklin?"
32556Is there anything else that you would like to have pressed, now that I am working?
32556Is there anything you would like to ask me?
32556Is this right?
32556Is this the place? 32556 It can take back two cars, sir,"answered the conductor,"and would you object, sir, if I put some other passengers in here with you?"
32556It certainly is simple, and I will surely be able to play at the reception to- morrow afternoon?
32556Jim, dear, you too feel sad?
32556Jim, do you want to stay here and be my audience while I practice and tell me what you think of my playing?
32556Let me see, little miss, how about the proof I must have? 32556 Ma, can I have the sampler?"
32556Ma, ma,and Alfy ran in the kitchen calling louder as she went:"Where did you put my raincoat?
32556Ma, who did you say?
32556May I have it?
32556May I have the sampler, Alfy?
32556May I quote for you a little gem that is aptly expressive of my sentiments?
32556Mr. Ludlow,asked Dorothy,"where shall I stand?"
32556No it is n''t, is it Jim?
32556Oh dear, Dorothy did n''t I get you the book to read?
32556Oh, Dorothy,Gerald called back,"when shall I return for you?"
32556Oh, ca n''t I stay and talk?
32556Or did you just wish to hear Dorothy play?
32556Or taken the stage to the station if you were so tired? 32556 Shall I get the stamps?"
32556Shall I get your things all out and have everything all ready for you?
32556Shall we get a Capitol guide?
32556Shall we ride?
32556That does n''t excuse my little girl,remarked Aunt Betty, and turning to Dorothy,"What is it we are going to hear, dearest?"
32556That saves us a good deal of trouble and expense, does n''t it? 32556 Then I may go?"
32556Then do I understand that all Dorothy has to do is to prove she is Dorothy Winchester Calvert and she will come into this inheritance?
32556Then, maybe our floor will not be burned at all?
32556Was n''t that a nice idea to put the flag back there?
32556Well, Alfy, all ready to go home?
32556Well, Dorothy girl,said Aunt Betty, turning to her,"what will it be?"
32556Well, Dorothy, child,asked Mr. Ludlow,"is everything all right?
32556Well, ca n''t my little girl wait till then and see what more, for herself? 32556 Well, have you all selected those you wish?"
32556Well, what next, Dorothy girl?
32556Well, young man, what is it this time?
32556What Hannah? 32556 What about the concert?
32556What are we going to do now? 32556 What are we to do now?"
32556What are you going to put in?
32556What are you talking about? 32556 What did Aunt Betty have to say?"
32556What did Mr. Van Zandt say?
32556What did he want, dear?
32556What did you do with it?
32556What did you see?
32556What did you want him for, Jim?
32556What do you think of me?
32556What do you think of the fire?
32556What does it represent?
32556What dress do you want to wear?
32556What is Alfy talking about, Aunt Betty?
32556What is a mace?
32556What is it you want to say?
32556What is it, ma?
32556What is that star set in the floor for?
32556What is this next room?
32556What kind of ice cream would you like, Alfy?
32556What may they be?
32556What may you want?
32556What shall I do with these? 32556 What time is it, I wonder?"
32556What would you like to have?
32556What''s that? 32556 What''s the matter, Alfy?"
32556When is another train due here?
32556Where did all these statues come from?
32556Where did you have it last?
32556Where do you suppose?
32556Where is Dorothy? 32556 Where is it near?"
32556Where is it?
32556Where is it?
32556Where next?
32556Who are all these statues of?
32556Who gave you those beautiful violets you are wearing, that just match your eyes?
32556Who is it, then, that uses that beautifully carved high backed chair on that little platform there?
32556Who uses them?
32556Whose room is this?
32556Why has the locket gone?
32556Why not ask Mr. Ludlow? 32556 Why not?"
32556Why, Alfy, what have you there?
32556Would n''t it be odd if it was his mother who made this sampler? 32556 Would n''t that be rather lonesome, Miss Ruth?"
32556Would n''t you rather have someone else here with you?
32556Yes, and are you to sing?
32556Yes, and did you see this one?
32556Yes, do you want to come out with me?
32556Yes, where?
32556Yes,answered Aunt Betty,"what is it?
32556You are to play to- night, are you not?
32556You will miss me?
32556You will promise me then? 32556 You will?"
32556And I can start to- morrow-- yes?
32556And can I wear the red hair ribbon Ma Babcock bought me from Liza Jane''s?"
32556And is Mr. Dauntrey there?"
32556And so you think that perhaps Mr. Van Zandt will find out all about poor little Lem''s parents just from that sampler that Alfy found in the attic?
32556And was she very poor-- poorer than we?"
32556And what is the name?
32556And why are all the lights out?"
32556And why did the train lurch so?
32556And you are a solo violinist?"
32556And, my-- what was that in the corner?
32556Are we to stay right where we are, conductor?"
32556Aunt Betty carefully read the letter through and turning to Jim, asked,"What are you going to do about it, my boy?"
32556Aunt Betty, where are you?"
32556Ca n''t think of anyone else writing me, can you?
32556Can we have oysters, Aunt Betty?"
32556Come now, tell me what you want us to dress for?"
32556Could n''t you guess?"
32556Could you care, not as much as I do, now, but just a little?"
32556Could you?
32556Dauntrey?"
32556Did I do better than I did this afternoon before I went in to see Mr. Ludlow, and did you notice the difference in the playing of the last piece?"
32556Did n''t Mr. Ludlow tell you?"
32556Did n''t you hear a knock?"
32556Did they all belong to Washington?"
32556Do you know where it is?"
32556Do you like it?
32556Do you remember, Jim?
32556Do you think it could be possible that this sampler was made by his mother?
32556Do you think it is becoming?
32556Do you think so, Aunt Betty?"
32556Do you think, Jim, that traveling will hurt Aunt Betty?"
32556Do you want to talk business with me?"
32556Dorothy dear, will you see if you can find my glasses?
32556Dorothy finished her piece and then came over and kissed her aunt, saying,"Dear Aunt Betty, have you and Alfy enjoyed yourselves?"
32556Dorothy had risen, and coming to him, placed her hands in his and said,"Is this all true or just a joke?"
32556Dorothy liked to have Jim assume authority over her in this manner, and questioned gayly:"Well, Father Jim, what did he want?"
32556Dorothy looked at the large room and the many chairs and said hesitatingly,"Will it be crowded?"
32556Dorothy, greatly surprised, questioned,"You are coming back, Gerald?"
32556Have I you to thank for bringing her to me?"
32556Have n''t we, Jim?"
32556How can Jim tell us while you are talking?"
32556I did n''t keep you waiting very long to- day, did I?"
32556I think the first letter is''W,''not''M,''"and turning to Alfy,"what did Ma Babcock say about the name?"
32556I was going to say-- what was I going to say?"
32556Is it of great value?"
32556Is n''t he a handsome man?"
32556Is n''t it all very beautiful?"
32556Is n''t it wonderful?
32556Is n''t that so?"
32556Is there anything now you want to ask me?"
32556Is there going to be people in all of them?"
32556It''s been more than a year since you have seen me, is n''t it?"
32556Jim answered,"Will you tell Miss Boothington that Miss Dorothy Calvert wishes to see her?"
32556Jim seized her hands and asked hurriedly,"Could you love me?
32556Let me see-- just what day is this?"
32556Ludlow?"
32556Ludlow?"
32556Matthew heard her and came running up, saying:"What''s the matter, sis?"
32556Mr. Ludlow usually attends to Ruth himself; I wonder why he has not thought of her?"
32556Mrs. Calvert then asked,"Did anyone see out of the window when the flash of lightning lit up this car?"
32556Mrs. Calvert, who was facing the window, looked out and gasped,"Oh, why do n''t they stop the train?"
32556Now, Dorothy child, what would you like to play?
32556Now, is n''t this a nice, long, newsy letter?
32556Now?
32556Oh, Jim, what day does the 27th of September fall on?"
32556Oh, dear, oh, dear; do you really suppose that I will be a very great violinist?"
32556Oh, did you look in the closet in the barn?
32556Oh, why is it I never get into any such wonderful adventures?"
32556On reaching a small outer office he asked of a pleasant faced girl sitting there,"Can I see Mr. Van Zandt?
32556On the way out from the library, Dorothy asked,"Mr. Ludlow, are all these pictures and pieces of statuary done by Italians and other foreigners?"
32556Please, please tell me?
32556Ruth and Mr. Dauntrey, where are they?"
32556Ruth questioned,"Is he cross?
32556Ruth started off by saying,"Dorothy, do you believe what this guide is telling us or do you think he is fooling us?"
32556Ruth thought this a pretty spot indeed, and exclaimed,"Oh, just see here, is n''t this a romantic spot?
32556See the carved figures?"
32556She said to Mrs. Calvert:"Aunt Betty, what shall I do?
32556She turned and saw Jim on the veranda outside the window, and crossing the room and lifting up the French sash she said,"What is it, Jim?"
32556So you are the Jim she speaks of in the letter, and says I may question concerning these matters?"
32556The fact was suggestive of further danger, and then Dorothy questioned,"What was the crash?
32556The offer is for work in the-- what department is it?"
32556Then Alfy summoned her lost courage and said as calmly as she could,"Who''s there?"
32556Then Ruth broke the silence by asking,"Where is your violin, Dorothy?"
32556Then quickly changing his tone of voice to a more cheerful one, he continued:"Dear, never mind, we can be the same old friends again, ca n''t we?"
32556Then you will come to me, girl?"
32556Then, Dorothy girl, you will give me my answer?"
32556Was it fire?
32556Was someone being robbed, or murdered, or what?
32556We can have this one secret from everyone else, ca n''t we?
32556What are you to play?"
32556What can I give you to sew?
32556What day is it?
32556What did you find to talk about?"
32556What is it?"
32556What is that brass disk for?"
32556What shall I do, oh, what shall I do?"
32556What shall I do?"
32556What shall I wear?"
32556What time is it, I wonder?
32556When did you come into the room, just now?"
32556When she had finished, she laid down her violin, and came and stood in front of her aunt, questioning:"Do you think I played them well enough?
32556When?
32556Where are you?"
32556Where are you?"
32556Where have you been?"
32556Where is she?"
32556Where is that?
32556Where?
32556Who sent them to you?"
32556Why, Dorothy, what has happened?
32556Will you please now tell me what you would like to have me wear?"
32556Will you see that they are placed in Mr. Van Zandt''s hands safely?
32556Would Alfy be the companion?
32556You are not scared, are you?
32556You do not mind playing there, do you?
32556You here, too?
32556You remember her saying that she was tired of boarding house meals, do you not?"
32556You remember the convent we saw in Jackson Park yesterday, where they had all of those Columbus relics?"
32556You remember them, do n''t you, Dorothy?"
32556You say you think that Mrs. Haley, or Hannah Woodrow, is dead?"
32556You will, will you not?"
32556You will?
32556angrily added Alfy,"why could n''t ma have a dress like that?
32556he questioned,"really miss me?"
32556what have you done?"
12559''The Washington News?'' 12559 And are n''t you Chaperon Extraordinary and Ministering Angel Plentipotentiary to the''Automobile Girls''?
12559And spoil my good time with five charming girls?
12559Are n''t there any speed regulations in this part of the world, Hugh?
12559Are n''t you and Aunt Sallie going home with me, Father?
12559Are n''t you going to open your flowers, Harriet?
12559Are you actually going sight- seeing again to- day before the reception? 12559 Are you ready to go with me, Elmer?"
12559Are you still in here? 12559 Aunt Sallie,"gasped Ruth,"are you a wizard?"
12559Bab, would you mind leaving me alone while I dress? 12559 Barbara Thurston, what do you mean by running away by yourself?"
12559Barbara Thurston, will you be quiet and tell me what has happened to you?
12559Barbara, are you awake?
12559But I do want you to do me a favor, and I wonder if you will do it?
12559But are you sure you will be in? 12559 But how do you think he ever accomplished it?"
12559But what about you, Peter? 12559 But what can we do?"
12559But wo n''t you tell me why you ask me to be so exceedingly unaccommodating, Miss Moore?
12559But would you be disappointed if I do not go? 12559 But, Bab, what about our Lenox friends, who spend their winters in Washington?"
12559Ca n''t you possibly buy it, child?
12559Ca n''t you say you wish the same thing that I do, and that you believe our motor trips will last forever?
12559Did he know I was upstairs?
12559Did you arrive home safely the other day?
12559Did you get it, Bab?
12559Did you get the yellow ribbon, Mollie?
12559Did you have to tell Ruth?
12559Do n''t you have a monthly allowance?
12559Do n''t you think we had better go back a little, Charlie?
12559Do the young ladies know anything of my key?
12559Do you expect us to sit here in this freezing dirty old room half the night while you go around looking up a magistrate?
12559Do you know anything of the key, Miss Barbara?
12559Do you mean that, instead of the actual papers, you saved me by substituting blank papers for these valuable ones? 12559 Do you really tell your father everything?"
12559Do you suppose, for one instant, that we are going to see Hugh Post drive off, the only man among three girls? 12559 Do you think, Bab,"Mollie asked,"that we could ask Ruth to lend us the money?
12559Do you understand?
12559Do you wish to be rich, or famous, or to write a great book or a play?
12559Does Miss Moore happen to know how she was hurt, Daughter?
12559Father,Harriet whispered timidly,"ca n''t you wait a few minutes longer?
12559Father,exclaimed Harriet,"why are you boring the girls to death with so much information?
12559Harriet, have you seen Ruth''s automobile?
12559Harriet, is that you?
12559Have I your permission to enter your divine apartment? 12559 Have some posies, girls?"
12559Have you an idea who stole my papers?
12559Have you any daughters?
12559Have you any special reason for needing Aunt Sallie, Bab? 12559 Have you said good- bye to Harriet?"
12559How about you and Mollie, Bab?
12559How did Peter Dillon get us away from that wretched jail in such a short time when we thought we might have to stay there all night?
12559How did you know we were going to Mrs. Wilson''s tea? 12559 How do you do, Miss Moore?"
12559How do you know, Mrs. Wilson, that I have not received his permission to enter this room? 12559 How is a man to find you if you will hide behind curtains?"
12559How is darling Aunt Sallie? 12559 How is your head, Bab, dear?"
12559How much did the gown cost, Mollie?
12559How much is the dress worth, Madame?
12559I am not tired, Mrs. Thurston, are you?
12559I beg your pardon,Bab began impulsively,"but are you looking for some one?"
12559I flatter?
12559I say, Miss Thurston, why ca n''t you make up your mind to like me?
12559I wonder if you would do a fellow a favor some day?
12559I wonder whom the girl could have been spying upon to have gotten herself into such trouble? 12559 If you could have one wish, that would surely be granted, what would you wish?"
12559If you do n''t mind, wo n''t you sit and talk to me for a little while before this cozy open fire? 12559 If you wish to know a particular address why do you not ask your friends, the Hamlins, about it?"
12559If you wished the directory, why did you not ask Mr. Hamlin to lend it to you? 12559 Is Miss Hamlin not with you?"
12559Is Mr. Hamlin looking for Harriet?
12559Is Mrs. Wilson here?
12559Is it a burglar, Bab?
12559Is it true that Mr. William Hamlin is now a worshiper at your shrine?
12559Is that your message?
12559Is there any question you wish to ask me?
12559Is there anything I can get for you, girls?
12559It is most improper that I say so, is it not?
12559It''s a woman''s privilege, is n''t it?
12559It''s the lady that''s a- runnin''the car, ai n''t it? 12559 Lige?"
12559May I find Mr. Hamlin for you?
12559May I keep my rose- bud for the same purpose?
12559Miss Moore does not love me, does she? 12559 Mollie, what do you mean?"
12559Mother, can you let me have some money?
12559Mr. Hamlin,Grace asked timidly,"would you mind telling me what are the duties of the Secretary of State?
12559Mr. Meyers,she pleaded,"wo n''t you take me back in your car to look for my friends?
12559Mrs. Thurston,Mr. Stuart spoke slowly,"why would you not come to my house in Chicago to make us a visit when I asked you, nearly a year ago?"
12559Must we go, Father?
12559My dear Miss Moore, what has happened? 12559 Not in her room?
12559Please,the maid said,"Mr. Hamlin wants to know if Miss Harriet left a key with you?
12559Really, Miss Thurston, do n''t you think you are rather impertinent?
12559Ruth, is there any place where we can be alone?
12559Ruth,Bab asked suddenly,"do you like Harriet''s friend, Peter Dillon?
12559Shall we ever see the President?
12559She was n''t so easy to manage as you thought, was she? 12559 Suppose, Barbara, Grace and Hugh Post go along with me, Harriet?"
12559Surely you do n''t suspect me of dark designs, do you? 12559 The gown?"
12559The''Automobile Girls''hate mysteries, do n''t they, Bab? 12559 Then kindly tell me how my key came into your possession?"
12559Then who, in Heaven''s name, is guilty of this dreadful act?
12559Then wo n''t you be seated?
12559Told us what?
12559Well what are some of them?
12559Well, how do you happen to be so intimate at the Chinese minister''s?
12559Well, where is the justice of the peace or whatever man we ought to see about this wretched business?
12559What are you doing, prying among Mr. Hamlin''s papers, when he is out of the house? 12559 What are you going to do with the fifty dollars, Bab?"
12559What can we wear to the President''s reception to- morrow, Bab?
12559What do you take me for, Miss Thurston? 12559 What girl is n''t cleverer than a man?"
12559What has Miss Stuart got Hugh Post and Elmer Wilson with her for, if they ca n''t show her the way to town?
12559What have you done with my state papers?
12559What is the matter, Mollie?
12559What is the trouble?
12559What on earth made you go in there?
12559What on earth was that, Barbara?
12559What shall we do, Bab?
12559What shall we say, Bab?
12559When is it to be, Father?
12559Where are Mollie and Grace?
12559Where are the poplar trees planted along this avenue by Thomas Jefferson, Ruth?
12559Where did you get that wonderful gown? 12559 Where''s Father?"
12559Which of the three Graces do you mean to devote yourself to this afternoon, Peter? 12559 Who, Ruth?
12559Whom did you wish to see? 12559 Whom do you mean, my child?"
12559Whom do you think we have seen?
12559Whose dress is that, Madame? 12559 Why are you so anxious to see the directory?"
12559Why do n''t you say something, Bab?
12559Why, Harriet, are you getting more clothes?
12559Why, what do you mean?
12559Why, yes; why not?
12559Will Uncle Robert be very angry with you, Ruth, for being arrested?
12559Will you leave me at my house, Charlie?
12559Wo n''t I be an agreeable guest, Ruth?
12559Wo n''t it be wonderful? 12559 Wo n''t you have a glass of water?"
12559Wo n''t you try to find Mr. Meyers, Uncle?
12559Worth? 12559 Would you girls like to do the stores with me?"
12559Would you like me to guess who you are?
12559Would you mind my asking you a question?
12559Yes, is n''t it?
12559Yes?
12559You are Miss Thurston, are n''t you?
12559You are sure you wo n''t mind how long I take to pay you back, Harriet?
12559You ca n''t tell? 12559 You certainly do n''t object to my telling Barbara of your accusations, Uncle William?"
12559You do n''t really mean that you wish me to take one of Mr. Hamlin''s papers without his knowledge, and then give the paper to you?
12559You do not remember me, do you?
12559You have n''t been getting engaged, have you, Harriet?
12559You have n''t lost your wits, have you, child?
12559You say a young woman sold my papers? 12559 You sent for me?"
12559You?
12559*****"How shall we divide our party for the motor ride, Ruth?"
12559*****"Oh, Aunt Sallie, dear, please are you awake?"
12559A low contralto voice said distinctly:"What do you mean by stealing in here to search among Mr. Hamlin''s papers?"
12559Am I not right?"
12559And has that anything to do with your message to me?"
12559And how was she to find her way there, without being found out either by Mr. Hamlin or any one of the girls?
12559And then, where will you be?"
12559And what is the use of worrying over such a small debt?
12559And what would Bab say when she saw it?
12559Are you ill?"
12559Are you not invited?"
12559Are you pleased, child?"
12559Are you tired?"
12559As for Mrs. Wilson?
12559Bab did not like to leave her, for what dreadful person might not stumble over the poor, unconscious girl?
12559Bab turned over sleepily and yawned:"Is n''t there always some water in the hall, Ruth?
12559Bab, did some boxes come for me this afternoon?
12559Bubble calling to her out of the darkness?
12559But I suppose we can get up guests enough to fill two automobiles, ca n''t we?"
12559But did she not hear the ever- welcome sound of a friendly voice?
12559But do n''t you think you are rather ungrateful?
12559But how do you think a newspaper man could have unearthed this plot?
12559But how else was she to be saved from the weight of her stern father''s displeasure?
12559But how was Barbara to locate a pawn shop in Washington?
12559But how was Harriet to see Charlie Meyers?
12559But if anything disagreeable happens to you,"Marjorie Moore gave Bab a reassuring smile,"telephone me, will you?
12559But may I therefore present myself to little''Miss No One''?
12559But what could Barbara do?
12559But what had Peter Dillon to do with it?
12559But what harm could it do Mr. Hamlin for Barbara to pick up the book she desired?
12559But where are my other''Automobile Girls,''Mollie and Grace?"
12559But which one of you will go shopping with me this morning?"
12559But would Mr. Hamlin have inquired of Barbara her reason for desiring the directory?
12559CHAPTER IV AT THE CHINESE EMBASSY"Shall we eat our luncheon with chopsticks to- day?"
12559CHAPTER XXII OIL ON THE TROUBLED WATERS"What does all this mean, William Hamlin?"
12559Ca n''t you hear me?"
12559Could a certain distinguished and wisely silent Oriental gentleman be responsible for the thrilling drama about to be enacted?
12559Could it be possible that Marjorie Moore had discovered Mrs. Wilson''s and Peter''s plot?
12559Could it be that this young and lovely looking woman was the mother of Elmer Wilson?
12559Could n''t you let me write a sketch about you and your adventures, and put your photographs on the society page of our Sunday edition?
12559Could she also have guessed Harriet''s part in it?
12559Did Marjorie Moore also suspect that an effort would be made to draw Barbara into this whirlpool of disgrace?
12559Did her visitor believe Bab would confide her opinion of Harriet to a complete stranger?
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Dillon?"
12559Do n''t you feel the same way, Mollie?"
12559Do n''t you think you could take me to look for them?
12559Do you suppose it would do any good if I were to call on Mrs. Wilson?
12559Do you think she would allow me to try it on her?"
12559Do you think so?"
12559Do you think they will be glad to have me for a sister?"
12559Do you understand?"
12559Does everyone try to get some one to do something for him in Washington?"
12559Does she, Barbara?
12559Had Barbara awakened at the Court of Pekin?
12559Had Marjorie Moore expected foul play and called on Bab to help her guard some one from harm?
12559Had he learned of her bill to her dressmaker?
12559Had she been wise in accepting Mrs. Wilson''s offer?
12559Hamlin?"
12559Has Elmer gone to work?
12559Have you ever been abroad?"
12559He is so stern; he would just send me home in disgrace, and then what would Mother and Aunt Sallie and Mr. Stuart say?
12559He leaned over and whispered softly:"How is the young woman we rescued the other night?
12559How dared Harriet Hamlin be so willful, so headstrong?
12559How had Mollie come by a gown that was more beautiful than anything Bab had ever seen her sister wear?
12559How have you managed to keep that big boy of yours so much in the dark about-- oh, a number of things?"
12559How is your mother?"
12559How long before she should see them again?
12559How was she to do it?
12559However did you do it?
12559I came to ask you if you would give me the pictures of the''Automobile Girls''for my paper?
12559It was Bab who exclaimed:"Oh, Miss Moore, you are not going to betray Harriet, are you?
12559It was so good of her to lend us the money was n''t it?"
12559Just guess whom we know in Washington?"
12559Marjorie Moore turned suddenly on Barbara;"Why should n''t I?"
12559May I have them?"
12559May I introduce her?
12559Mr. Dillon, will you go to Miss Moore''s paper?
12559Oh, Bab, what can we do?
12559Oh, Bab, what will happen?
12559Oh, Robert, what shall I do?
12559Oh, why is she so determined to be so reckless and so foolish?"
12559Once or twice Ruth called out:"Wo n''t you go a little slower in front, please?
12559Perhaps you would like to meet my daughter, Wee Tu?
12559Promise me you will grant no one a favor, no matter who asks it of you to- day?"
12559See that stunning woman just coming in at the door?
12559Shall I stay at home with you?"
12559Should she go forward?
12559Should she wear the frock that night?
12559So what can we do?"
12559Suppose Harriet were in the study?
12559Tell me?"
12559Then he said smoothly:"Miss Thurston, will you do me a favor?"
12559Then, what will become of Harriet?
12559There is only one thing for us to consider at present, and that is-- where is Harriet?"
12559Was Harriet in some worse peril?
12559Was not some state secret to be betrayed?
12559Well, what is it?"
12559What are your real duties at your legation?"
12559What arrangements do you want to make about paying it back?"
12559What could I wish in here?
12559What could the girl want with her?
12559What did it all mean?
12559What do you suppose Peter Dillon is doing with a letter written in Chinese?"
12559What do you suppose she was doing?"
12559What evidence have you?
12559What had been Mrs. Wilson''s object in lending her the money?
12559What is it?"
12559What little private wish of your own did you have in your mind?
12559What on earth could this talkative young woman wish of her?
12559What shall we do?
12559What should she do?
12559What was Harriet going to ask him?
12559What was it?
12559What was it?"
12559What''s the use?"
12559Where did you ever get hold of such an absurd idea?"
12559Where was she?
12559Where would her mother get such a large sum of money to send her?
12559Who knows how this visit may be made to count against her?
12559Who knows when we shall see each other again?
12559Who took me from my nice warm bed?
12559Why are you so silent, Barbara?
12559Why not take the girls to look at the White House, Ruth?
12559Why was her father standing outside her door?
12559Will not Mr. Hamlin''s daughter and her four friends receive these poor offerings?"
12559Will you be good enough to explain to me why you were hiding behind the curtains in Mr. Hamlin''s study when I came in?
12559Will you do it for me?"
12559Will you do this, Barbara?"
12559Will you explain to Miss Moore exactly what occurred, Miss Thurston?"
12559Will you forgive a most unhappy man?
12559Will you girls mind excusing me for the day, and finding some way of amusing yourselves?
12559Will you give me your word, all of you, not to tell?"
12559Will you go with me, children?"
12559Will you never refer to this conversation again, and take me home as soon as you can?
12559Will you tell Mr. Hamlin that I left the bundle of papers he desired on his study table?
12559Wo n''t you be seated while I ring for the butler to turn on the lights?"
12559Wo n''t you come downstairs with me to get a drink of water?"
12559Wo n''t you come, too, Bab?"
12559Wo n''t you keep your word and grant me this favor?"
12559Wo n''t you please find Mr. Hamlin, or some one, to come to her aid?"
12559Would it have been better after all to ask Ruth for the loan of the money?
12559Would she not be beautiful in it, with her pale yellow hair and her blue eyes?
12559Would you lend me the money, Charlie?
12559Would you like me to point out some of the celebrities to you?
12559Yet how else could Bab get help?
12559Yet would it be a good idea?
12559You are Peter Dillon, are n''t you?"
12559You are sure you wish to know the duties of the Secretary of State?
12559You have been saving it to surprise us to- night, have n''t you?"
12559You have something important to say to me?
12559[ Illustration:"What Have You Done With My Papers?"]
12559cried Ruth, in horrified tones,"What has happened to you?
22113A Southern ranch?
22113A responsibility, Aunt Katherine?
22113Ai n''t they a- goin''with you, Miss Peggy?
22113An''what_ she_ been a- sayin''ter yo''?
22113And Rosalie? 22113 And do you expect to cling to childish habits all your days, Peggy dear?
22113And do you suppose there can ever be anything like it again?
22113And have I ever ordered any changes made in her rules?
22113And what, may I inquire, is your very worst then? 22113 And you really raised those splendid horses yourself?
22113Are n''t we to wait until Daddy Neil comes back?
22113Are n''t you even going to tell Polly?
22113Are they to go to the hop?
22113Are you apprehensive of her becoming so?
22113Are you ready, Aunt Katherine?
22113Are_ ours_ abused, Polly?
22113Assembly? 22113 At stake?
22113At what time do you start?
22113But how did you know she wished you?
22113But when will they learn about their leave? 22113 But why do you call him by that absurd name?
22113But, Mrs. Harold, are n''t first classmen really-- well-- don''t they come in for greater privileges? 22113 Ca n''t the boys ever get leave to visit their friends?"
22113Ca n''t you and Peggy give it to us on a small scale? 22113 Could n''t she have telephoned?
22113Could n''t ye just knot hup them tails a bit, and mebbe braid that fly- away mane down along the crest? 22113 Do n''t you think Juno Gibson is handsome?"
22113Do you always give them sugar? 22113 Do you mean to say they understand and will really bring Jess here?"
22113Do you really wish me to show you something of their intelligence, Mrs. Vincent? 22113 Do you think I''m going to let this side- wheeler shipwreck me?
22113Do you think they always live up to the agreement?
22113Do you think we are a lot of crazy schoolboys and expect to settle our disagreements with a regular fist- a- cuff bout? 22113 Do you want to try it again?"
22113Does Polly know?
22113Eh? 22113 Going in for the trapeze?
22113Had he seen the cab?
22113Has she ever attacked anyone before, Peggy?
22113Have I been a responsibility to you since you came here? 22113 Have you ever had a_ boy_ cover your hands with kisses?"
22113Honest?
22113How about Stella Drummond?
22113How long have you been observing this wonderful wonder?
22113How many five- stripers are there?
22113How''d I know, Mist''ss? 22113 I wonder why not?"
22113If I go to the Columbia Heights School what will Ralph say? 22113 If you had no other, what could you do?"
22113Is n''t it funny you girls never saw him while you were at Severndale?
22113Is n''t it good just to be alive on such a day?
22113Making a list of all your dances and Christmas frolicings, little- er- ahem--, Miss?
22113Miss Howland, what was the cause of the wild shrieks which disturbed me a moment since? 22113 Occupy_ this_ suite?"
22113Oh, Daddy, did you really meet Mrs. Harold and Polly, and who was with them?
22113Oh, Polly, will you? 22113 Oh, are they such, wonders as all that?"
22113Oh, are you a- speakin''to me, ma''am?
22113Oh, how did you make them do it? 22113 Oh, indeed?
22113Oh, my bonny one, how could you?
22113Oh, was he a man? 22113 Oh, what is it all about?"
22113Oh, what is it? 22113 Oh, who does it?
22113Oh,_ where_ did they come from?
22113Peggy, how_ can_ you have such a savage creature near you? 22113 Polly, what happened?''
22113Poor Tzaritza, you did what you believed to be your duty, did n''t you? 22113 Poor Tzaritza, you got into trouble because I lost my temper, did n''t you?
22113Shall I?
22113Shall you go home at Easter?
22113Snap says he''s just wise to everything, and did you ever see anything so absurd as those clown tricks the jackies taught him?
22113So you have come into the school to set its standards and correct its shortcomings, have you? 22113 Suppose we did shout and screech?
22113Tanta,asked Polly,"do you know that Lily Pearl Montgomery and Helen Doolittle are here at Wilmot with Helen''s uncle?
22113Those wavering, clear, electric beams, Who''ll guess how much their message means? 22113 To win and hold a love so pure, A faith so stanch, so strong, so sure-- To gain a confidence so rare-- What honors can with these compare?
22113Understanda horse?
22113Well, we''re_ here_,was Polly''s undisputable statement as she snuggled down under her bed- covers,"and now that we are what do you think of it?"
22113Well, what is it to be this morning?
22113What I gwine do wid all dis hyer truck, Missie- honey?
22113What dat yo''say? 22113 What did you say to her, baby?"
22113What for? 22113 What is it, Polly?"
22113What is it-- Little Mother?
22113What is this?
22113What time are we to go to Severndale tomorrow, Little Mother?
22113What you a- talking about, you little fool nigger?
22113What''s brought you down here, honey?
22113What''s that?
22113What''s the matter? 22113 Where is Helen tonight?"
22113Where is John?
22113Where''s Jess?
22113Which, the midshipmen or the stripes?
22113Why did n''t you tell me you''d never ridden?
22113Why do they start at night?
22113Why must they rush back on the very minute?
22113Why not? 22113 Why, he wants you and the Little Mother and Durand and Ralph and Jean and Gordon--""Gordon?"
22113Why, what do you mean, Helen?
22113Why? 22113 Will a fish swim?"
22113Will they stand like that without being tied?
22113Would you really like to know, dear? 22113 Yes, are n''t they just the dearest ever?
22113Yes, it is exceedingly damp today, but do you think we ought to allow externals to affect us?
22113Yes, what_ did_ she want?
22113_ Are n''t_ we doing something? 22113 _ Not yet?_"emphasized Miss Sturgis.
22113A lump of sugar awaited each obedient animal, and Jess asked:"What yo''wantin''ob Jess, baby- honey?"
22113A real_ man_?
22113Ai n''t she done come in fer her breckfus yit?
22113Am_ I_ all wrong, or is Aunt Katherine different from everybody else?
22113An''ma chile gotter wait a hull hour pas''her breckfus time jist kase Madam Fussa- ma- fiddle ai n''t choose fer ter git up?
22113And Juno?
22113And Nelly?
22113And all the others, too?
22113And big?
22113And if they are to go out to Severndale tonight how will they manage?"
22113And that west wing and its contents?
22113And was n''t Tzaritza regal with Rhody?"
22113And was the experiment a red letter one?
22113And what of Nelly?
22113And who''s taken Gumshoe''s place this year?
22113And you surely do not think I do it to invite observation?
22113And you''re out for basketball too?
22113Are n''t we encouraging him and helping on a good show?"
22113Are you ready for your breakfast, Aunt Katherine?"
22113Are you so very superior to your companions-- you and your protà © gà © e?"
22113As he settled Rosalie in her seat he asked:"How many Miss Boylstons have you got at Columbia Heights?"
22113Bol''var?"
22113But are_ you_ going to dust?"
22113But had she ever given that fact a serious thought?
22113But what is wrong, Miss Peggy?
22113But what under the sun did Mrs. Vincent want of you, Peggy?"
22113CHAPTER XV IN SPRING TERM"Well, we all came back to earth with a thud, did n''t we?
22113Ca n''t we go right out there?"
22113Ca n''t_ you_ show me how, Dawson?
22113Can they all do that?
22113Did he say yes?
22113Did he wear a moustache?
22113Did n''t it take you forever and ever to teach them?
22113Did she"understand"those in her stable?
22113Did they"love"her?
22113Did you notice it, girls?"
22113Did your ears burn this afternoon, Peggy?
22113Did your father find it out, and what did he say?"
22113Do Peggy and Polly resemble''meal sacks?''
22113Do n''t you perfectly dote on her girls?
22113Do n''t you think the study of one''s fellow beings intensely interesting?''
22113Do you know what it will mean if I report you at Annapolis?
22113Do you remember Fräulein Shultz who was here the first year school opened, Marjorie?"
22113Do you think she will tell me?"
22113Do you understand it?"
22113Does n''t she seem an awful lot older than the rest of us?
22113Find the outlook inspiring?"
22113Good Lord, are you going to let drive with a gatling?
22113Great Scott, do you think I''m going to let_ this_ beat me out, or that yelling mob out yonder see me put out of commission?
22113Had Helen''s cousin returned, but when?
22113Had she miscalculated the depth of the pool after all?
22113Has she become incapable of voluntary locomotion?"
22113Have you ever seen one_ do_ it?"
22113Have you lost your ability to sit at the head of my table, daughter?"
22113Have you never heard them?
22113Have you no street cleaning department in your illustrious city?"
22113Have you not done a great deal for them?
22113Her father?
22113How about it?
22113How am I ever to be a co- ed in Annapolis and a pupil here at the same time?
22113How are you, Doctor?
22113How did you come out in Math and Mech?
22113How do you keep them so ravishingly white and your nails so absolutely faultless?
22113How far ahead do you reckon they are?"
22113How is Lily?"
22113How many women ever think of doing so?
22113How under the sun came I here?"
22113How would it fit with skirts all bunched up under it?
22113How would it seem to have no Severndale to run out to?
22113Howsoever, some folks seem to think they have, and what I am trying to get at is,_ have they_?
22113I know her and she knows me, do n''t you, old girl?"
22113I wish I were that Indian- Chinese- Jap god, what''s his name?
22113I wonder why?"
22113If you wish to know why I carried Helen out of the room I did it because she was running--""Doing what?
22113Is n''t it about time you began to think about growing up?
22113Is n''t it always better to believe a person honest until we prove him a thief, than to go the other way about it?
22113Is n''t that too good to believe?"
22113Is that what you say down here?"
22113Is there a weak face among them?
22113It was all said half- jestingly, half- seriously, but Juno gave her head a superior little toss as she answered:"And go looking like a meal sack?
22113It was jist gwine ter make some of dem pots bile over if it had a- kep''on, yo''hyer me?
22113July, August, and, let me see, twenty- five days of September since I left you?
22113Just as a sample of what we may hear some day?
22113Just then Mammy Lucy stuck her white- turbaned head in at the door to ask:"Whar dat chile at?
22113Keep Tzaritza out of the house and relegate the Sultana to the servant''s quarters?
22113Kingdom- come, is yo''think I''se come ter ma dotage?
22113Let''s see, which have we had most to do with since we came here twenty- four hours ago?
22113Lily, did the milliner put the trimming on the box and forget to send home the hat?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Llewellyn?"
22113Mammy, is Aunt Katherine ready?"
22113May I walk to the gate with her?"
22113Mrs. Stewart laughed a low, incredulous laugh, then queried:"And you the daughter of Neil Stewart and a little Navy girl?
22113Mrs. Stewart looked about her in undisguised disappointment and asked:"Is_ this_ the capital city of the State of Maryland?
22113Mrs. Vincent had more than once said to herself:"Well, I certainly have four oddities to deal with:_ Who_ is Marjorie?
22113Mrs. Vincent nodded forgiveness, then turning to Stella, asked:"Were you here all the time, Stella?"
22113Mrs. Vincent smiled as she slipped an arm across Polly''s shoulder and asked:"Are you to be my newest girl?
22113My Lawd, what done possess Massa Neil fer ter''vite her down hyer?
22113My little girl, my little girl, have you needed Daddy Neil as much as this?"
22113My little girl, will you accept some suggestions regarding your toilet?"
22113No Peggy to pop into Middie''s Haven?
22113No boon companion to ride, walk, drive, skate with, or lead the old life which they had both so loved?
22113Now that''s the limit, ai n''t it?
22113Now, Polly, what is it?"
22113Of course, it is all wounded pride and affection, but who is to correct it?
22113Oh, which girls are you going to invite?
22113Oh, why ca n''t the parents think of the children they have brought into the world but who did not ask to come?
22113Or dream the wondrous tale they tell?
22113Or was it something in the fine, strong face which children and animals in common all trust with subtle intuition?
22113Pardon me if I make a note of it, and-- and--_how_ do you spell accomplished, Captain Stewart?
22113Peggy and Polly flew to him crying:"Did he say yes?
22113Peggy asked:"Are our horses ready, Dawson?"
22113Peggy slipped her arm about her and asked:"What makes you look so sober, Nellibus?"
22113Peggy was not ungrateful, but what had befallen the usual order of things?
22113Peggy, has she ever been separated from you before, dear?"
22113Peggy, were n''t you petrified when you struck''eight bells''at the hop, for the death of the old year?
22113Poor little Nelly Bolivar would have been a modest, sleek little Junco compared with the birds of paradise(?
22113Rate more?
22113Sat on a pin?"
22113Say, how is it to get out of my coat, Bantam?"
22113Shall I hail him?"
22113Shall I say anything to Shelby?"
22113Shall I tell you the message the flashes carry?
22113She might be Polly''s and Peggy''s friend-- well and good-- but who was she?
22113Slipping an arm about each girl as they sat beside her she asked:"What do you think of our horses, and of Dawson?
22113So now smiling across the table she said:"So you have decided to consider my suggestion, Neil?"
22113So you accept the bargain?
22113Stella, is your chafing- dish ready?"
22113That you never have and never could do anything to invite criticism?
22113The following Tuesday was Hallow E''en and where is your school- girl who does not revel in its privileges?
22113The horse''s well- being or mine?
22113The next second she was holding Peggy in her arms and almost sobbing herself as she besought her to tell"who done hurt ma baby?
22113Then Peggy asked:"What do you think of the girls?
22113Then after a moment she resumed:"O Shashai, what_ is_ the matter with everything?
22113Then she asked:"Wo n''t your father come East this spring for commencement?
22113Then the self- elected dictator spoke:"Peggy, dear, are you not to drive with me?"
22113Then with a guileless smile remarked:"Now you do n''t sesso?
22113There are-- how many of us?
22113There was a slight pause, in which Juno gave an impatient toss of her handsome head and asked in a bitterly ironical voice:"Are they?
22113This year''s?
22113To be"loved"by one?
22113Turn her over to your discipline, or crush her with one snap of my jaws?"
22113Twenty- four?
22113Understand?"
22113Vincent?"
22113Was n''t she the limit?
22113What are they trying to do now?"
22113What could she do alone?
22113What do they mean?"
22113What does become of all the children of divorced parents in this land of divorces?
22113What is it for?
22113What is likely to become of_ her_, poor child?
22113What is to become of that little pepper pot with all her loving impulses and self- will?
22113What makes you so tight with your news, any way?
22113What more could a conscientious school Principal ask of her riding master?
22113What possessed the woman to antagonize everyone with whom she came in touch?
22113What was the meaning of it?
22113What''s at stake, Little Mother?"
22113What''s rattled you like this?
22113What?
22113What?"
22113When is I see you a cryin''like dis befo''?
22113When they reached her corridor she said to Juno:"Little girl, will you come into my room a moment?''
22113Where did you and Peggy catch and bottle up all your worldly wisdom?"
22113Where did you come from?"
22113Which is the particular He, Peggy?
22113Which of these fellows will be there?"
22113Who but she could fill that office?
22113Who could help loving them?"
22113Whose could it be?
22113Why could it not have gone on?
22113Why did you carry Helen from the room?
22113Why do n''t you quote Helen Taft to us instead of Queen Mary?
22113Why does n''t that man drive him out?"
22113Why in this world should they?
22113Why not?
22113Why not?
22113Why should they?
22113Will any horse come if you know how to call him?
22113Will you let him do so by coming down here with Peggy?"
22113Will you show us?
22113Will you?"
22113With a pious"Ma Lawd- God- Amighty, what done happen?"
22113Within a few moments two girls appeared in the doorway, the taller one asking:"Did you wish to see us, Mother?"
22113Would it be fair?
22113Would it be scorching hot?
22113Would she find a welcome among the Delacys, the Vanderstacks, the Dryers and heaven knows which- or- whats of New York''s glitterers?
22113Would there be moon- light nights?
22113Would you like to drive in?"
22113Yet did you ever_ see_ anything so graceful as those two girls and that magnificent dog when they went over?
22113Yet if she lost sight of them what might not take place?
22113Yet, why not?
22113Yo''hyer me?"
22113You are planning a house- party?
22113You see it is only two weeks off and the Little Mother has not said anything about it, has she, Polly?"
22113You think I am too sweeping in my assertion?
22113You will come again-- yes, often-- and where I can help, count upon me-- always?
22113_ This_ little town?"
22113cried Peggy, aghast,"Tzaritza attacked_ you_, Polly?"
22113who brought you?"
32678All right at the smoke- house?
32678An''yet you allow that we should stick our noses into the mess?
32678An''you count on doin''that first of all, eh?
32678And are you willin''to hold enmity simply because we had a bit of a scrimmage over differences of opinion? 32678 And because of that you think that we are to play an important part in this portion of the war, eh?"
32678And do you expect that we can capture at least half a dozen well- armed Britishers?
32678And what would that be?
32678And who is this you have with you?
32678And you have taken prisoners on your own account?
32678Are the remainder of the party to stay here?
32678Are they comin''this way?
32678Are we the only ones to go unarmed?
32678Are we to go without weapons?
32678Are we to join the fleet?
32678Are we to take on any weapons?
32678Are you going to stay on board?
32678Are you hankerin''to have your pungy burned or sunk?
32678Are you of the opinion that we should haul in to the bank?
32678Are you simply reckoning on laying off the islands?
32678At work?
32678Ay, sha n''t we take you aboard now? 32678 Ay, that was the talk in town this forenoon,"Jerry replied;"but now people are saying that he came back just before sunset--""Back here to Benedict?"
32678But after we get a load, Darius? 32678 But do you count on taking them without first explaining the situation?
32678But do you count that the enemy will get as far up as the village?
32678But how did you contrive to come at the scuttle?
32678But how would you stop us?
32678But our party is too big for safety now, and what will it be if we allow every straggler to trail on behind? 32678 But suppose the British are close at hand?"
32678But suppose we fall asleep?
32678But suppose we run plump on to them?
32678But surely you''re not proposing that we shall start without knowing where we are going, or what is to be done?
32678But the commodore?
32678But what about Jim Freeman and his party?
32678But what about our work here?
32678But what can be done with the mule, if we take to the smoke- house?
32678But what have you been doing to tire you so thoroughly?
32678But what is the meaning of their landing so many men?
32678But what of the British?
32678But where did you meet Bill?
32678But where do you reckon that we''re bound for?
32678But where shall we find the fleet?
32678But where''ll you go, Bob?
32678But why did n''t you get away when you had the chance?
32678But, Elias,Jenkins remonstrated,"even though you do n''t believe in the war, surely you would n''t do that which might work harm to your neighbors?"
32678Ca n''t you give your shipmates the same show for a watch below that you''ve got?
32678Ca n''t you tell us what has happened?
32678Can the four of us get along in the canoe?
32678Can you look after the miller, Jim?
32678Can you make out the shore on either side?
32678Can you show us the way?
32678Did Macomber succeed in getting into the prison?
32678Did n''t the commodore allow that we should keep right on bein''oystermen?
32678Did n''t you see a boat?
32678Did they set the prisoners free?
32678Did you ever run across Bill Jepson from Baltimore?
32678Did you give the people to understand that he was yours?
32678Did you hide the boat?
32678Did you run across the boat when you went down?
32678Did you see him?
32678Do n''t know anythin''more about the situation?
32678Do n''t you need the lads with you?
32678Do n''t you?
32678Do you believe it possible that we could save the schooner now?
32678Do you call it a lift to be put where the Britishers can kill you?
32678Do you know what we are to do with the pungy?
32678Do you live here in Washington, uncle?
32678Do you mean to say, Darius Thorpe, that you''d prevent us from goin''ashore?
32678Do you really expect to see Britishers on the river this night?
32678Do you suppose he allows to stop at the tavern while we''re to stay in this smoke- house?
32678Do you think it will be possible to keep on your feet for such a long distance?
32678Do you think, lad, that I would encourage you to spend your time fishing when you have already shown yourselves capable of bigger things? 32678 Does the lieutenant count on saving the Scorpion to hold the Britishers in check?"
32678Ever been up the Patuxent river?
32678Goin''to move, eh?
32678Gone where?
32678Gone wrong?
32678Growin''uneasy, lad?
32678Growing uneasy, Darius?
32678Has anythin''happened suddenly?
32678Have the Britishers a larger force?
32678Have you been over there?
32678Have you been working all this while?
32678Have you by chance lost the pungy?
32678Have you ever heard it said whether he was for or against the war?
32678Have you heard anything new since we arrived?
32678Have you lost your wits that you think the Britishers would come into the Patuxent river?
32678How are we to find you again?
32678How are you goin''to mend matters, lad, while the price of oysters keeps down as it is now?
32678How can you be so certain of that? 32678 How did he know that?"
32678How did you get all that stuff?
32678How did you get here?
32678How do you count on usin''it?
32678How do you expect we can sneak around the British fleet unless we''ve got some excuse for goin''there? 32678 How do you happen to remember all these things?"
32678How do you know, lad?
32678How is she doin''?
32678How large are they?
32678How long have you been up Baltimore way?
32678How long will it take the enemy to run up to the mouth of the river?
32678How many people do you reckon are in the house?
32678How shall we be able to tell the time?
32678How would it do to take along a supply of meal?
32678I reckon the Britishers might make trouble for us, eh?
32678I suppose we shall be called upon to take a hand in throwing up breastworks?
32678I thought we were to stay here?
32678I thought you counted on moving around all night?
32678I would like to speak about Elias Macomber, sir?
32678In here?
32678In the first place we have n''t money enough,I suggested,"and secondly, how many shops will you find open in this city?"
32678Into Washington?
32678Is it you, Amos Grout? 32678 Is n''t that rather high- sounding for a peaceful fisherman?"
32678Know anythin''about him, lad? 32678 Know him?"
32678Matter? 32678 Meaning that there is more of fear in your mind lest we come upon spies of the enemy, than expectation Commodore Barney might need our services?"
32678Not if everything was in your favor; but how if you met a boat- load of Britishers such as we captured the other night? 32678 Now what is he about?"
32678Now what is it?
32678Now what is to be done?
32678Remember it?
32678Shall we be helpin''the government the same as if we stayed aboard one of the vessels to do our share of fightin''?
32678So the spy is here, an''counts on stayin''till the Britishers come up the bay, eh?
32678So you lads have come back in haste, eh?
32678So you think they would n''t come into the Patuxent, eh?
32678So your vessel is named the Avenger?
32678Supposin''you free Darius an''Bill to- night, what''ll you do with''em?
32678Tell me your names?
32678Tell me, uncle, where did the American soldiers keep their prisoners?
32678Tell us what happened after we left the Avenger?
32678That goes without sayin'', an''now what shall we do?
32678That was the prisoner who escaped? 32678 The commodore had only got eight pungies an''five barges of the fleet--""Where are the other boats?"
32678The enemy are bent on burnin''all the government buildin''s in the city, even if they do no more, an''what about the jails?
32678The question is whether the fort can prevent their comin''up the river?
32678The whole fleet went up, eh? 32678 Then why do we go alongside?
32678Then why have you tied me up in this fashion?
32678Then why is it we ca n''t make a trade to help supply the commodore with fish an''oysters? 32678 Then you do not believe we shall be pursued?"
32678Then you think, father, that I should serve under the commodore, taking the chances of losing the pungy after having paid so much money for her?
32678Tired out?
32678We''ll be on board in half an hour; you ca n''t get under way before then?
32678Well, Bubby, have you gone daft?
32678Well, did that settle it?
32678Well, lads,he cried, turning on Jerry and me insistently,"you''ve seen the biggest man in this country, an''what do you think of him?"
32678Well, my bullies, how about that famous ship Avenger, Amos Grout commander, and Darius Thorpe general supercargo?
32678Well, that''s about what we''re doin'', ai n''t it?
32678Well, what if the boys went ashore to go home for a couple of days? 32678 Well?"
32678Were you around here when the building was fired?
32678What about provisions, captain?
32678What are you doing up there?
32678What are you goin''to do with me?
32678What are you hailing?
32678What are you laughing at?
32678What can they do now?
32678What can we do more than would be done by you?
32678What can we do, except to get away before he brings some of his cronies down here to make a row?
32678What craft is that?
32678What did you put in here for?
32678What did your mother say?
32678What do you call doin''it properly?
32678What do you count on watching?
32678What do you know about the Britishers?
32678What do you mean?
32678What do you suppose?
32678What do you think can have happened?
32678What does he reckon on doing now that we have caught the traitor?
32678What happened to me?
32678What have you been doing? 32678 What have you lads got in your heads?"
32678What is his name?
32678What is it, lad?
32678What is it?
32678What is the matter, friend?
32678What is the news?
32678What is the price?
32678What is the time?
32678What made you tackle the whole of''em?
32678What made you think anything was wrong?
32678What reason has he to make any fuss?
32678What ship are you from?
32678What would you do if he was in good shape?
32678What would you do with him, supposin''he was here this minute?
32678What''er you goin''to do with me?
32678What''s crawlin''over you, Darius?
32678What''s happening?
32678What''s the matter now?
32678What''s the matter, Jim?
32678What''s the matter, lad? 32678 What''s the matter?"
32678What''s the matter?
32678What''s the sense of stewin''over that part of it now?
32678What''s to be done?
32678What?
32678What_ can_ we do?
32678When did you arrive at Benedict?
32678When did you desert from the Severn?
32678When did you leave him?
32678When did you take them?
32678Where are Dody and Josiah?
32678Where are the British now?
32678Where are the men?
32678Where are we goin''?
32678Where are you bound?
32678Where do the British keep their prisoners? 32678 Where is Bill Jepson?"
32678Where is Darius?
32678Where is Jim Freeman?
32678Where is that, uncle?
32678Where shall we find the commodore among all that crowd of vessels?
32678Where were the foremost ships when you saw them?
32678Where would you look first?
32678Whether you get Bill an''Darius out of jail or not, you''ll be wantin''to go down the river, lad, so why do n''t you bring all hands aboard? 32678 Who is your master?"
32678Who will go with you?
32678Who''s kickin''up this row?
32678Why are you loafing around here?
32678Why did n''t you remain alongside, as you were told?
32678Why did n''t you turn in?
32678Why do n''t you eat?
32678Why do we want her there?
32678Why do you suppose this move is being made?
32678Why do you think so?
32678Why not go ashore for an hour?
32678Why not go straight into Washington, an''stay there till we find a chance to slip down the river?
32678Why not lie down while you may, and get some sleep?
32678Why so, sir?
32678Why?
32678Will one of your men stand by for our line, sir?
32678Will they do any harm to the townspeople, think you?
32678Will you give your word to make no attempt at escape?
32678Will you let us come below for a short time?
32678Wo n''t that be deserting our post?
32678Would you leave your father behind?
32678Yes; they''re goin''to Nottingham with us,Jerry replied, and the old man asked me:"How soon can we get under way?"
32678You count on_ leavin''_ me, sir? 32678 ''Where''s your boat?'' 32678 ''Where''s your crew?'' 32678 And in thinking of this I came to ask myself how we were to present ourselves? 32678 Are you minded to serve your country, lad?
32678As we came alongside he grasped the gunwale to rest himself, and asked:"Are you from the oysterman?"
32678Ask''em if I shall begin takin''''em out?"
32678Bob Hanaford, where did the lads run afoul of you, an''why did n''t you get your pungy down river before the enemy''s fleet came up?"
32678But, if such was the case, where was Darius?
32678Ca n''t you see that only part of the fleet is goin''up stream?
32678Can we do any business with you?"
32678Can you give me the bearin''s?"
32678Can you leave in thirty minutes?"
32678Darius, who was on the lookout for us as may be supposed, said when he saw that the canoe had three occupants:"So you got him, eh?
32678Did you get your money?"
32678Did you see Jim Freeman an''his crowd?"
32678Do n''t you want to try''em?"
32678Do you allow there may be traitors in the fleet?
32678Does any one know if he came out of the battle alive?"
32678Does that mean you''re goin''away right soon?"
32678How about it, lads?
32678How can I help it if a crowd of Britishers take possession of my mill?"
32678How is breakfast comin''on?
32678I ran aft to where Jim and his friends stood, asking eagerly:"What are our people going to do?"
32678I reckon we''ve done the trick, eh, captain?"
32678If Darius was yet on board why had he left his post of duty?
32678If I had been faint- hearted before, what shall be said of my condition now?
32678If anything had happened to him, why had Jim Freeman taken it upon himself to leave the lower bay?
32678Is that your craft?"
32678Is there anything else to be said?"
32678It was Darius who broke in upon my perplexing thoughts by asking:"Well, what do you think of it now, lad?
32678Now I''d like to know if that very friendly gentleman Elias Macomber, has been left behind, or if he followed the force?
32678Now do you think I''m so far out of the way in sayin''that there''s a good chance of our gettin''the worst of it?"
32678Now what more natural for them to suppose that we are tryin''to lead''em into an ambush-- for the Britishers still believe we fight in Injun fashion?
32678Of what did we talk?
32678Shall we sail boldly down the bay, asking the Britishers to buy?"
32678Tell me how you happened to be here?"
32678The one distressing question was whether the enemy would make search in the city for such as we?
32678Then, as if considering the question settled absolutely, Darius cried out to Jim,"Have you stowed everythin''in the canoe?"
32678There were no sign of life on deck; but as we went over the rail the companion- way hatch was opened a few inches, and some one cried:"What''s wanted?
32678We might shoot down a few men; but could not even delay the advance, an''what would be gained?
32678What brought you ashore at Hog Point?"
32678What can you find there to tie him with, Jim?"
32678What do you mean by a boat?"
32678What has happened?"
32678What is the matter?"
32678What of Bill Jepson?
32678What''s the row?"
32678When all the story had been told the officer asked:"Can you give us a place on the river where we may lay by during the day?
32678When we were come within hailing distance I shouted, never thinking that I might be heard by those on the Jenkins plantation:"Why are you coming back?
32678Where are you?"
32678Where else can we be bound?"
32678Where''s Darius?"
32678Where''s Darius?"
32678Whereabouts are our people?"
32678Whether as lads who wanted to make a bargain to supply the fleet with fish, or as recruits?
32678Who will go to the commodore?"
32678Who''d think this crowd had been hob- nobbin''with the Britishers for the last two or three days?
32678Work?
32678You two will make a good thing out of this business, in case the Avenger is burned, eh?"
32678You would n''t be willin''to stay here with the cowards Commodore Barney left behind, would you?"
32678You''re thinkin''of your mother an''the children, eh?
32678he cried when we were come within hailing distance, and I asked irritably:"In for what?"
32678he shouted nervously, and Darius gave the word to cease paddling as he asked:"What''s the news?"
5617A big fire-- really?
5617A dollar thirty- four-- that''s all the moneys you got?
5617A real trip? 5617 A trip?"
5617And could we see the Potomac River?
5617And did she have light hair?
5617And did you been to see the fire?
5617And did you never find the dishes?
5617And how did you get out?
5617And is that what you have been doing, Freddie-- riding up and down in the elevator?
5617And may we stay a little while?
5617And shall we go up inside it?
5617And shall we see Billy and Nell?
5617And shall we stop in New York?
5617And so they got off one of the sight- seeing autos, did they?
5617And so you rang the bell, did you, Freddie, because you wanted to see a fire?
5617And the roses, too?
5617And where are we going to have some fun?
5617And why was that?
5617And will there be some red fire in the theater show?
5617Any sailboats?
5617Are n''t we going to buy anything to take home-- souvenirs I mean?
5617Are the letters there-- the letters''J.W.''?
5617Are there thirty floors to this building?
5617Are we going swimming?
5617Are you afraid they''ll break it?
5617Are you children just getting home from school?
5617Are you down there under the hay?
5617Are you goin''there soon?
5617Are you sure these are the two pieces from your set?
5617Are you sure you are big enough to go to the post- office for me?
5617Are you sure you saw Flossie go up those stairs, Freddie?
5617Are you very sure you do n''t mind doing it, Sam?
5617Because why?
5617Bigger? 5617 But could n''t we go to Washington, anyhow?"
5617But he is awful fat, is n''t he?
5617But how could they be at your automobile office?
5617But if they do n''t find her, Mamma?
5617But it''s a real fire, is n''t it, Daddy?
5617But what are we to do?
5617But what could the wonderful news be?
5617But what shall we do?
5617But where is Flossie? 5617 But why did n''t you tell mother, dear?"
5617But, Flossie, how did you happen to come up here?
5617Ca n''t I look out the window and see the engines?
5617Ca n''t we go in and hear''em talk and talk and talk, like Mr. Perkins said they did?
5617Can we go?
5617Come from? 5617 Could Nell and Billy go?"
5617Could we ever go into the house where the President lives?
5617Could we go inside?
5617Could we go to see the Washington Monument?
5617Could we see the Washington Monument?
5617Could we send home for our sled if there''s lots of snow, Daddy?
5617Dey is n''t heah now, an''where is dey? 5617 Did n''t you ever like to play outdoors, Sam?"
5617Did n''t you ever see him again?
5617Did n''t you like it?
5617Did n''t you see us crawl out?
5617Did somebody break it?
5617Did you bring me a new toy fire engine?
5617Did you come down for anything special?
5617Did you find a story book for me?
5617Did you have a nice time in Washington?
5617Did you know the tramp''s name?
5617Did you look under the seats?
5617Did you was lookin''for us?
5617Do n''t our Snoop know his name when I call him, same as our dog Snap does?
5617Do n''t those cookies look good?
5617Do n''t you ever think of anything else?
5617Do n''t you have a lake there?
5617Do n''t you have lots of fun?
5617Do n''t you hear how the engine is blowing the whistle?
5617Do n''t you know whose they are?
5617Do n''t you like it here?
5617Do n''t you see that those are Miss Pompret''s dishes?
5617Do n''t you see, Bert?
5617Do they ever have fires in Washington, Daddy?
5617Do they have ice cream cones?
5617Do they have to work at night?
5617Do you mean a trip to some city?
5617Do you mean to say that my little boy started a fire?
5617Do you mean to say you have more twins at home?
5617Do you really mean you''d pay a hundred dollars for two china dishes?
5617Do you s''pose Flossie is hurt?
5617Do you s''pose cats know their names?
5617Do you think he''ll bring us anything to eat?
5617Do you think so?
5617Does he always eat that way?
5617Excuse me for disturbing you; but have you seen anything of a little girl--"Did she have blue eyes?
5617Freddie, where were you?
5617Gone? 5617 Has Flossie fallen?"
5617Have we got to go to school?
5617Have you come here to live?
5617Have you got another dog for us?
5617Have you got any hay in Wash''ton?
5617Have you got any whistles or fire engines?
5617He lives in the White House; does n''t he Daddy? 5617 Hi there, Freddie, what''s the matter?"
5617How could we?
5617How long are we going to be in New York?
5617How much have you?
5617How much is thirty- two and eighty- seven?
5617How much you got?
5617How much? 5617 How much?"
5617How much?
5617How would you all like to go to a theater show this afternoon-- to a matinee?
5617How?
5617I could n''t help being thirsty, could I?
5617I guess it wo n''t be very deep here, will it, Daddy?
5617I heard the engines puffin'', and I saw the red light and it woke me up and I comed in and telled Momsie; and it''s a real fire, is n''t it?
5617I wonder how far he can stretch them?
5617I wonder what I can do with my twins?
5617I wonder what that dog wanted?
5617I wonder what we''ll get?
5617I wonder what''s there?
5617If I''m going to be a fireman I''ve got to look at horses, have n''t I?
5617If they were there they''d belong to Washington, would n''t they, Daddy?
5617In a steamboat?
5617Is Mount Vernon an old place?
5617Is it a fire?
5617Is it a fire?
5617Is it to New York?
5617Is it your cat?
5617Is n''t he here?
5617Is n''t this better than Blueberry Island?
5617Is our dog Snap chasing you, or have you been playing a trick on our cat Snoop?
5617Is she?
5617Is that all?
5617Is that so the President ca n''t get out?
5617Is that what she came in here for-- a story book?
5617Is the blue lion there?
5617Is there a fire?
5617Is this your hat?
5617Just what did he do?
5617Look at the way they''re painted? 5617 May we really go?"
5617No school for a month?
5617No school?
5617No,answered Freddie,"Is it yours?"
5617Now what does my little fat fairy have to say?
5617Oh, Sam, did you like to swim?
5617Oh, ca n''t we see it; whatever it is?
5617Oh, is it a fire?
5617Oh, is it two trips?
5617Oh, is n''t this fun?
5617Oh, it will soon be Christmas, wo n''t it?
5617Oh, it''s just as nice as Blueberry Island or on the deep, blue sea, is n''t it, Bert?
5617Oh, well, what I cares if I die in the poor- house?
5617Oh, what can have happened to Freddie?
5617Oh, what shall we do?
5617Oh, where are they? 5617 Oh, where is he?
5617Oh, you''re half of the Bobbsey twins, are n''t you?
5617Playing a trick?
5617Please, Sarah, ca n''t I have something to eat for the stray children, and maybe for the cat?
5617Really do you mean it-- after all these years?
5617Sailboats?
5617Sailboats?
5617See? 5617 Shall I go to get Sam?"
5617Shall we go home for Christmas?
5617Stray children, is it?
5617Suppose these are n''t the right dishes, after all? 5617 Suppose what?"
5617The snow wo n''t keep us from going to show in the theater; will it?
5617The whole fire?
5617Then where did the water come from?
5617There are n''t so many cows as that; is there, Daddy?
5617They can be in more places than you can think of; ca n''t they, Nan?
5617They got safely back to Washington, did they?
5617They would n''t let him, would they, Daddy?
5617Two dollars?
5617Two of your twins?
5617Was any one hurt when the boiler burst?
5617We may go, May n''t we, Jane?
5617We''ll not be arrested, shall we?
5617Well, did you have a good time?
5617Well, then, how would you all like to go off on a trip?
5617Were you kept in for doing something wrong?
5617What are they?
5617What are you going to do with it?
5617What can we do?
5617What do you mean about stray cats and stray children?
5617What do you mean by stray cats and stray children?
5617What do you mean?
5617What do you want us to do?
5617What else you want to buy, little childrens?
5617What else you wants to buy, childrens?
5617What for?
5617What for?
5617What for?
5617What good would that do? 5617 What happened?"
5617What is it you see, Nan?
5617What is it, Snap? 5617 What is it, dear?"
5617What is it? 5617 What is it?"
5617What is this?
5617What made you do it?
5617What made you go after the stray cat?
5617What shall I do?
5617What sort of little boy was he?
5617What tramp is that, and what about Miss Pompret''s dishes?
5617What were you doing, Flossie?
5617What you want to buy, little childrens?
5617What''s the matter? 5617 What''s the matter?"
5617What''s the matter?
5617What''s the matter?
5617What''s your names?
5617What''s yours?
5617What? 5617 What?"
5617What?
5617What?
5617What?
5617When are we going back?
5617When are we going to see Billy and Nell?
5617When can we start?
5617When do we go?
5617Where I get them? 5617 Where are Flossie and Freddie?"
5617Where are they, Nan?
5617Where are they?
5617Where are they?
5617Where are we going?'' 5617 Where did Flossie go, Freddie- boy?"
5617Where did they come from?
5617Where did you get them?
5617Where do you live?
5617Where do you suppose Flossie could have gone?
5617Where do you want to go?
5617Where have you been?
5617Where have you been?
5617Where is dey? 5617 Where is my little boy?
5617Where now?
5617Where were they?
5617Where?
5617Where?

5617Who took them?
5617Whut you done gone an''done to yo''l''il broth''an''sistah? 5617 Whut''s dish yeah has happened, Bert?
5617Why are you home from school at such a time of day?
5617Why ca n''t we have supper?
5617Why do you ask?
5617Why not?
5617Why not?
5617Why?
5617Will there be a fire engine?
5617Will there be any cowboys or Indians in it?
5617Will there be much, do you think?
5617Will you take us all?
5617With the dog on the bottom?
5617Wo n''t mother and father be surprised when they find we have the Pompret china?
5617Wo n''t you come in, just for a minute?
5617Would n''t it have been great if we had really found her milk pitcher and sugar bowl?
5617You are n''t hurt, are you?
5617You are n''t sure the tramp took the dishes, are you?
5617You do n''t see anything of them yet, do you Dinah?
5617You want those dishes?
5617You want to buy them?
5617A lot of money for rich childrens?
5617A tramp?"
5617And is the cat there?"
5617And now how did you find them?"
5617And now what do you think of my news?"
5617And we fooled you, did n''t we?
5617And where''s Freddie?"
5617Are you under there?"
5617Bert and Nan, do n''t you want to take Billy and Nell out in the yard and show them the lake?
5617Bert, how could you?"
5617But where are you going?"
5617CHAPTER XV"WHERE ARE THEY?"
5617Ca n''t you see?
5617Ca n''t you stay a day or so?"
5617Dat''s whut I''se askin''yo''all, Bert an''Nan?
5617Did you really ride here in an auto?"
5617Do they have whistles in here?"
5617Do you think we paid too much for the dishes?"
5617Gone where?"
5617Has anything happened?"
5617Has yo''all been playin''a trick on ole Dinah?"
5617Have you seen her?"
5617How about it, Mother?"
5617How am mah little fat fairy and''mah little fireman?"
5617How can I tells so long ago?"
5617How did they come into our yard, do you think, Tom?"
5617How much for these dishes-- this sugar bowl and pitcher?"
5617How much you all got?"
5617I wonder how they came to be in that second- hand store?"
5617Mamma, do you suppose any of the people down here read all these books?"
5617Martin?"
5617Martin?"
5617Miss Pompret saw Nan looking at this set of china, and the elderly lady smiled as she said:"Is n''t it beautiful?"
5617Nan-- Bert-- Flossie-- Why, where is Freddie?"
5617Not, however, before Nan had asked her father:"Where are you going to take us to- morrow?"
5617Of how should I know?
5617Oh, have you seen my little boy?"
5617S''posin''these are n''t the ones Miss Pompret wants?"
5617See that sugar bowl and pitcher?"
5617Tell me, is the other set of twins larger than you two?"
5617Ten cents?
5617The tramp may have taken them; but what would he do with just two pieces?
5617Then the automobile came to a stop, and some one asked:"What''s so wonderful to see here?"
5617Then, turning to Nan he asked:"Would you like that sugar bowl and pitcher?"
5617They''d be good enough to eat, would n''t they?"
5617To Florida?"
5617W.''?"
5617Was n''t that funny?"
5617What I care if you cheats a poor old man?
5617What could Miss Pompret mean about a"mystery"connected with her set of china?
5617What did he mean by saying that they were to come in and meet the"Washington children?"
5617What do you want?"
5617What has happened to Freddie?"
5617What has happened?"
5617What is it you want to say, Billy?"
5617What is it?
5617What you want to buy, little childrens?"
5617What''s all this?"
5617What''s the matter?"
5617Where are you?"
5617Where can my darlings have gone?
5617Where did he go?"
5617Where did you come from?"
5617Where is Freddie?"
5617Where is dem two little lambkins?"
5617Where is you, Flossie?
5617Where is you, Freddie?"
5617Where''s Flossie?"
5617Who were the"Washington children?"
5617Whut''s all dish yeah I heah Nan say?"
5617Why did n''t you tell me that Flossie was going away?"
5617Why did you wander away?"
5617Why?"
5617Would n''t you?"
5617You could n''t make it a dollar thirty- five, could you?"
5617You saw her dishes, did n''t you?"
5617do n''t you know what this means?
5617what have you been doing?"
5617what made you do it?"
5617where did you go and what have you been doing?"
6091Ah? 6091 Ah?
6091Ai n''t that a great speech?
6091Am I about to be re- born?
6091Am I to be responsible for the development of her character? 6091 And I am really to live in this wonderful city?"
6091And are we going to war in order to release them?
6091And desert my_ salon?_asked Betty, lightly.
6091And if I have my_ salon_, shall I come under suspicion of being a high- class lobbyist?
6091And live among niggers? 6091 And which is Senator Ward?"
6091And will you never take me in your arms? 6091 And you mean to say that you judge all the old States of the country by a newly settled community of adventurers out West?"
6091And you? 6091 Ar''n''t you really happy?"
6091Are they going to talk politics to- night?
6091Are you happy here, Harriet?
6091Are you in trouble at home? 6091 Are you not frightfully tired?"
6091Are you quite well? 6091 Are you sorry I told you I loved you?
6091Are you sorry that you have engaged yourself to him?
6091Are you sure? 6091 Are you sure?"
6091Are you, too, happy?
6091Betty,said Senator North, one morning a fortnight later,"how much do you like Burleigh?
6091Betty?
6091But do you mean to say these other men do n''t see through her?
6091Can you give me the whole morning? 6091 Can you stay away?"
6091Can you?
6091Corrupt? 6091 D''you mean he did n''t know me?
6091Did you go? 6091 Did you suppose that I should allow you to row through that lane alone?
6091Do n''t you want to listen to your Senator? 6091 Do ye?
6091Do you believe in reincarnation?
6091Do you feel very strongly on the subject?
6091Do you know this? 6091 Do you love anybody now?"
6091Do you mean that old Mrs. Sawyer has left? 6091 Do you mean that you are going to vote?--or run for Congress?--but women do n''t sit in Congress, do they?"
6091Do you mean the ninety Senators and the three hundred and fifty- six Representatives? 6091 Do you mean,"she asked,"do you think that Mr. Emory is beginning to care for Sally?"
6091Do you realize what you are saying?--that you have put me aside for ever? 6091 Do you see nothing?"
6091Does any one know the truth about the Senate? 6091 Does she seem any happier?
6091Does she think that will make life easier for her?
6091Even if you told me to marry another man?
6091Exactly how much do you know about American politics?
6091For what else does civilization mean,she thought,"if those of us that have its highest advantages are not wiser and more fastidious than the mob?
6091Glad of what, may I ask?
6091Has she decided to shut herself up within herself?
6091Has she negro blood in her veins?
6091Has she that most detestable vulgarity of her class, curiosity?
6091Have you been crying, darling?
6091Have you ever been happy-- here?
6091Have you heard of me?
6091Have you loved many women?
6091He certainly is very much of a man,admitted Betty,"but what on earth are we to do with all these papers?
6091Hey?
6091How are you?
6091How did you guess that she had the taint in her?
6091How do you and Mary manage to live in the same house?
6091How do you do, Mrs. Mudd? 6091 How is that Tariff Bill going?"
6091How long will it be before I shall have seen all the beautiful things inside those buildings? 6091 How much?"
6091How on earth do you know what a man is like on the inside? 6091 How shall we ever be able to keep her secret?
6091I do n''t want to stay all night, do you?
6091I suppose all the Senators here to- night are the-- big ones?
6091I suppose you''re engaged to Senator Burleigh by this time? 6091 I went to the White House last night,"she said,"and was delighted to find that the President had the most charming manners--""What''s a manner?"
6091I wonder, how much you mean? 6091 If intelligent people get into that condition,"thought Betty,"what can be expected of the fools?
6091Is he representative, that man? 6091 Is he?"
6091Is there a woman in your life? 6091 Is there any new trouble?"
6091Is this the grand finale of the people''s rule?
6091It is even worse than my going over to politics, is n''t it? 6091 Laws, Miss Madison, have you gone blind all of a sudden?
6091Miss Madison, may I see you to your carriage?
6091Miss Trumbull, is it not? 6091 Monarchy?"
6091Now,he said,"what is it?
6091Or merely rejuvenated? 6091 Politics?
6091Shall you tell him?
6091She knows? 6091 So?
6091Tell me,exclaimed Betty,"please-- are all these people in politics?
6091Tell me,she drawled wheedlingly,"that''s your beau, ai n''t it?
6091That you should live to ask me such a question as that?
6091Then he comes here with the intention of remaining for life? 6091 Then you admit it is mere curiosity?
6091Was it you? 6091 Was night ever so welcome before?"
6091Was there not a famous one in the days of 1812, and did she not love a British officer-- or something of that sort?
6091Well, what did you get? 6091 Well, what have you been doing?"
6091Well?
6091Well?
6091Well?
6091What are we coming to?
6091What are we to do about this creature?
6091What are you going to do about it?
6091What are you thinking of?
6091What can be the matter?
6091What d''you mean?
6091What did he say?
6091What difference does it make whether he appeared to my waking eyes or passed through my sleeping brain and sat down with my soul?
6091What do you mean?
6091What do you mean?
6091What does it mean?
6091What does she say about politicians in general?
6091What has she seen?
6091What have you been doing?
6091What have you made up your mind to do?
6091What is it, for heaven''s sake?
6091What is it?
6091What is it?
6091What is your ideal type?
6091What kind of women do you fall in love with?
6091What of his inner man?
6091What of your visit and its consequences?
6091What on earth has happened now?
6091What on earth made me want to give those cigars to Senator North?--to give him anything? 6091 What on earth should I do with a husband?"
6091What shall I talk to you about?
6091What''s happened to ye?
6091What-- Jack and Harriet?
6091What?
6091What_ have_ I launched upon the world?
6091When can you come up here to stay?
6091When can you leave here? 6091 Where did you learn it?
6091Where on earth is Harriet?
6091Where_ do_ you s''pose I could have met the President before? 6091 Who has not?"
6091Who is Harriet?
6091Who the deuce can he be?
6091Who would be a Western Senator?
6091Whom is she watching?
6091Whom is she watching?
6091Why did I not think of that? 6091 Why did you never marry, Sally?"
6091Why do n''t they listen? 6091 Why do n''t you go there and live, set up a sort of court?"
6091Why do you despise the great American public? 6091 Why do you say this to me-- now?"
6091Why should we go to war with Spain?
6091Why?
6091Will you come and see me on Sunday?
6091Will you come for a walk?
6091Will you come in often on your way home when you are tired and would like to forget bills and things, and let me play to you? 6091 Will you come into my room?"
6091Will you have a cigarette?
6091Will you play for me?
6091Will you take me fishing?
6091Will you take me with you?
6091Would Washington have gone?
6091Would he advise it now, supposing he could?
6091Would you sacrifice yourself absolutely to your country?
6091Yes, sir; member of your family, I presume?
6091You are going to do what?
6091You believe me always, do n''t you?
6091You do not misunderstand that?
6091A half- century hence and where will the love that dwells in every fibre of me now, have gone?
6091After all, what is even a Senate but a toy for a pretty woman?
6091After all, why should he care to call on her?
6091Ai n''t you glad I told you?"
6091Aloud she said,--"Would not you like to go to Europe for a year or so?
6091Am I inconsiderate to talk like this when you are so worried?
6091And did he believe that it could last?
6091And did you ever see so many flowers outside of a conservatory?"
6091And he?
6091And herself?
6091And his heart?
6091And how long?
6091And those hysterical members of the House, whose speeches make me wonder if humour is really a national quality?"
6091And was she a chosen instrument to right one at least of the great wrongs perpetrated by the brilliant, warm- hearted, reckless men of her race?
6091And what on earth made you put on that horrid gown?
6091And what would you do with your brain?
6091And you let her go?"
6091And you say she is quite white?
6091Are they all married?"
6091Are you ambitious?"
6091Are you going after her?
6091Are you going to marry Burleigh?"
6091Are you hungry?"
6091Are you satisfied with the Tariff Bill?"
6091Are you willing to admit that it is all over?
6091B. M.""It has a rather heartless ring,"she thought with a sigh,"but it will intrigue him, and-- who knows?
6091Betty could hear her exclaim:"But why?
6091Betty, what on earth do you find so interesting in Fifth Avenue?
6091But I''m real glad you like gittin''up early--""Will you kindly send me a boy?"
6091But the other?
6091But what can I do?
6091But you will admit, will you not, that I am old enough to choose my own life?"
6091But you will come to the Senate to- morrow?
6091Ca n''t I take you up to the Senate to- morrow and put you in our private gallery?
6091Ca n''t you and your father come for a month or two?
6091Ca n''t you dine with me to- morrow?
6091Ca n''t you dine with me to- night?
6091Can not you feel for them?"
6091Can not you understand high- mindedness?"
6091Can they really be my fate?
6091Can you think of an excuse to make to Jack?
6091Could I afford a teacher?"
6091Could duty be more plain?
6091Could it last?
6091Could n''t I pretend to stay at the hotel all day?"
6091Could you idealize a live thing in striped trousers and a frock coat?"
6091Did he love Harriet?
6091Did her daughter, despite the health manifest in her splendid young figure, feel the first chill of some mortal disease?
6091Did you enjoy California?"
6091Do I understand that that is the sort of thing you expect me to do?"
6091Do you ever go to the Senate or the House?"
6091Do you guess?
6091Do you know that it is over three months since I saw you last?"
6091Do you know the way?"
6091Do you know, Miss Madison, I paid twenty- six calls on Thursday, eighteen on Friday and twelve on Saturday?
6091Do you mean that I can go through all of them?
6091Do you mind all the talk about your being unpatriotic, and that sort of thing?
6091Do you see the parable?
6091Do you suppose I tell my friends everything I know?
6091Do you think I should be afraid of death?
6091Do you think it was necessary to tell me?
6091Do you understand?"
6091Do you want war?"
6091Do you wish me to come?
6091Do you wish me to stay with you?
6091Had he thought of this?
6091Has it turned out all right?"
6091Have I got to go through life without that?
6091Have the Norths come?"
6091Have you any hope left?"
6091Have you any talent for music?"
6091Have you had luncheon?
6091Have you investigated the life of every man in the Senate and the House?"
6091Have you noticed in Washington-- or anywhere in the South-- that a negro is always seen with a girl at least one shade whiter than himself?
6091He''s powerful eloquent, ai n''t he?"
6091He_ will_ look well in bronze-- but they only put Generals on horseback, do n''t they?
6091Hev you seen the new library?"
6091His idea is that politics are to become a sort of second nature with me before I start my_ salon_--Why do you smile cynically?
6091How about Senator Maxwell?"
6091How am I to live on and on and on?
6091How and when did he buy his seat, and what Trust does he represent?"
6091How could you settle down contentedly to practise law in a Western city for six years?"
6091How do you like Senator Burleigh?"
6091How is the lady of the shadows?"
6091How old is he?"
6091However-- Yes?"
6091I am sure that is the way you feel, dear Cousin Molly-- is it not?
6091I near lost my temper, for I guess I know when it''s hot--""What were you doing on the roof of the veranda last night?"
6091I shall ask instead if you still find time to come up and see us occasionally, and if we improve on acquaintance?"
6091I thought you were going to say,''Do n''t interrupt, please,''or''Would you kindly be quiet until I finish?''
6091I will come straight home and shut myself up in my boudoir-- for hours-- to be with you in a way-- Shall I?
6091If happiness never came, perhaps you would not care-- would you?"
6091If the barriers went down she must look into what?
6091If you had not met me, do you think you could have loved him?"
6091In some great critical moment when a dictator seems necessary they will shrug their shoulders and say,''Why not?''"
6091Is it a compact?"
6091Is it impossible for you to go to- day?"
6091Is n''t that close by your place?"
6091Is that, too, senatorial?"
6091Is there any one on the other side?"
6091Is your pa one of the leadin''six?"
6091Jack Emory?
6091Mr. Montgomery, you are really a Southerner-- ar''n''t you glad to get back to darky cooks?"
6091Must not personal matters seem of small account to- night?
6091Must she give him up?
6091North?"
6091North?"
6091Of course American women do n''t take much interest in politics, but-- do you know as little as you pretend?"
6091On Thursday afternoon Betty and Sally were rowing on the lake when the latter said abruptly,--"Have you noticed anything between Jack and Harriet?"
6091Or are you hoping for blackmail?
6091Or did he care?
6091Or was he too weary to care for anything but sleep?
6091Or would he care if he did remember?
6091Poor folks ca n''t pick and choose, and I suppose you would n''t mind my havin''a friend with me in the winter, would you?"
6091Poor thing, why was she ever born?"
6091Senator Burleigh?
6091Senator North''s face hardened, and Betty, fearing that he would go, said hurriedly,--"Ar''n''t you ever going to speak again?
6091Shall I go abroad?
6091Shall you march her home by the ear?"
6091She added abruptly:"Does Sally suspect?"
6091She added in a moment,"Will you always come to my Thursday evenings, no matter what happens?"
6091She commands union; and as the years went by and one memory grew dimmer-- who knew?
6091She knows?"
6091She would not go without me, and in spite of everything, I am almost ashamed to say, I have been very happy here--""Is that all?
6091Should she, with her inheritance of kindly forces within and without, deliberately readjust her manifest lines into a likeness of Harriet Walker''s?
6091So would you mind if I asked you not even to write to me?
6091So you are resigned, are you not, Molly dear?"
6091So you were haunting''pubs''when I supposed you were yawning at home?
6091So, I repeat, what do you know about the American politics of to- day?"
6091Some one who makes you happy?"
6091Tell me,"she went on rapidly and with little further attempt at self- control;"what shall I do next?
6091The President grasped her hand and said,"How do you do, Miss Madison?"
6091The redoubtable Mr. Legrand, also of Maine, upon whom the shafts of an embittered minority seem to fall so harmlessly; and Mr. Armstrong-- who is he?
6091Then he said,--"Can you do without what we have?"
6091There is no lonelier spot in America; and with the forest full of negroes-- were you mad to think of such a thing?"
6091They''re real elegant, ar''n''t they?
6091VIII"How many politicians are coming this afternoon?"
6091Ward?
6091Was she going to him?
6091Was she not a Woman?
6091Was the word he would not utter"Wait"?
6091Was this man she loved so passionately to go on to the end of his life only guessing what the Fates forbade him?
6091Well, Betty, how do you like your new toy?
6091Well, what difference?
6091What am I to do when it is over?"
6091What did you learn in Boston and New York?"
6091What do you think?"
6091What else have you been doing?"
6091What if he were a Senator?
6091What is he wasting his wind for, anyway?
6091What is her secret?"
6091What is it?"
6091What is that?"
6091What is the matter?
6091What on earth is to be done?"
6091What pleasure could she find in sitting here with him if her mother''s apprehensive mind did not leave the room for a moment?
6091What pleasure if a vulgar world were whispering?
6091What relation is she to us, anyway?
6091What should she see?
6091What story of her birth and family do you suppose she told him?
6091What terrible purpose was she made to live twenty- four wretched years for?
6091What was love that it defied the Will?
6091What will Jack Emory say?"
6091What''ll the Lode say to me?
6091What''s to prevent her taking her revenge?
6091What''s to prevent her writing to Jack any minute?
6091What-- what-- should I have done without charities when Society palled?"
6091What?
6091Where air you from?
6091Where have you been?
6091Where is this camp- meeting?"
6091Which is Senator North?"
6091Who are the Representatives?
6091Who are these plainly dressed women and-- and-- half- way ones?"
6091Who on earth ever said he was corrupt?"
6091Who?
6091Whom were you watching?"
6091Why are some women ever born?
6091Why could not she shake up her brain as one shakes up a misused sofa- cushion and beat it into proper shape?
6091Why do you ask?"
6091Why do you want a_ salon_?
6091Why do you wish to go to this camp- meeting?"
6091Why have all these men so much magnetism?
6091Why on earth do women let their nerves run away with them, in the first place?
6091Why should I tell Mr. Emory-- or anyone else?"
6091Why should he not?
6091Why should n''t she?"
6091Why should she of all women hesitate to demand a half- hour''s time of any man?
6091Why should we go to war about them?"
6091Why was I ever born?"
6091Will it be dust with my dust, or vigorous with eternal youth in some poor girl who never heard my name?"
6091Will you come downstairs for a few moments?"
6091Will you come into the next lake?
6091Will you come out into the hall a moment?"
6091Will you dine with us to- night?
6091Will you forget it?
6091Will you go in first?"
6091Will you help me?"
6091Will-- would it mean anything to you?"
6091Wo n''t you come in?"
6091Would it be easier if I had not?"
6091Would n''t you like to go to the Riviera, and then to London for the season?"
6091Would you mind staying here with the Colonel and Sally for another ten days and then returning with them?
6091Would you mind telling me who you are?
6091Would you mind telling me your name?
6091XIV"Do all Southerners make such delicious coffee?"
6091XVI"Do you dislike her?"
6091You are married?"
6091You know that, do you not?"
6091You like to get up early, do n''t you?
6091_ What_ was in the brain behind those sad reproachful eyes?
6091_ Why_ do n''t you?"
6091ai n''t he fascinating?"
6091and were her spirits affecting his?
6091he thought,"and why does n''t he speak?"
45045''Where the streets were so wide and the lanes were so narrow?''
45045Ah-- can''t you bring him out here?
45045All are well, I suppose?
45045Am I changed?
45045Am I? 45045 And Annis?"
45045And I can come now and then as a friend?
45045And Louis-- is everybody safe?
45045And Varina? 45045 And do you remember we came up to Mr. Madison''s inauguration and went to the Capitol?
45045And if you stay for the ball will you not come over again? 45045 And is Marian as happy as you?"
45045And is n''t the husband always the oldest, papa? 45045 And no dear ones are lost?
45045And not President?
45045And now are we to crawl through this dismal glade? 45045 And now you are on my side?"
45045And ride by moonlight?
45045And that dainty little Annis? 45045 And the doctor?"
45045And the visit?
45045And we can not always keep up to the mark-- is that what you mean me to infer?
45045And what did you say? 45045 And what do you think, Annis?"
45045And when are you coming up to Georgetown?
45045And why did n''t you go to Philadelphia?
45045And you are very happy? 45045 And you have n''t been trying your strength leaping over five- barred gates or jumping ditches, or perhaps riding too much?"
45045And you leave me in the lurch?
45045And you love me?
45045And you mean to wait for that?
45045And you think you can not come?
45045And you will love me better than anyone else?
45045And you-- must you be mother to_ all_ the children? 45045 And your grandmother?
45045And, papa, can he marry her?
45045Angry?
45045Annis, do you love him? 45045 Annis,"he exclaimed regretfully, resignedly,"I do not suppose you ever could marry me?"
45045Are you glad to come here and do you like them all?
45045Are you glad to see me?
45045Are you going to hold an auction?
45045Are you going?
45045Are you happy and satisfied, Marian, or miserable?
45045Are you not going to stay to the supper?
45045Are you really going to stay single forever?
45045Are you still angry with Jaqueline?
45045Are you very angry still?
45045But I suppose you have a surfeit over the Potomac?
45045But I wonder-- oh, Jaqueline, do you suppose I will have to marry Mr. Greaves? 45045 But I''ll be sure to get well, wo n''t I?"
45045But Marian and-- Annis-- can they not join us?
45045But Marian?
45045But did you ever love Mr. Greaves, Marian?
45045But he is always asking me about Marian, and why she does n''t come?
45045But he ought to be able to tell whether one is pretty or not, ought n''t he, Eliza?
45045But if I should never marry?
45045But if Jane does?
45045But if she loved him?
45045But mamma?
45045But were you not afraid?
45045But what did you spend your time at-- if you did n''t go to school?
45045But where to in such fine feather?
45045But why do you not like her?
45045But you could n''t have done it at first?
45045But you promised to ride with me, did n''t you, Annis? 45045 But you will stay and have some supper with us?
45045But, then, you have your country''s good at heart?
45045But-- what will-- Rene do?
45045Ca n''t I walk where I like? 45045 Ca n''t little girls ever see anything?"
45045Ca n''t you give me mamma''s welcome also?
45045Can I say just what I should like?
45045Can you wonder at it?
45045Chloe, have you made preparations for a host at supper, and a hungry host again about nine o''clock? 45045 Collaston, has anything been heard of Ralston?
45045Could I ever have been so silly, Jaqueline?
45045Could n''t she have come here for a week or two, before we start?
45045Dear Jaqueline,she said with a tender accent,"do you think you will like my going to the ball?
45045Did I frown?
45045Did he write? 45045 Did n''t Annis want to come with you?"
45045Did they bring the baby? 45045 Did you ask her?"
45045Did you get tired of the nonsense?
45045Did you go to the ball?
45045Did you guess that Lieutenant Ralston cared? 45045 Do you dare to tell me there was no underhand plan in all this?
45045Do you know whether Marian had a letter from him soon after the holidays?
45045Do you know, Marian, I consider you a very foolish girl-- superstitious, as well? 45045 Do you mean that Jaqueline does n''t care for any of them?
45045Do you mean to make us marry whoever you like?
45045Do you not think I had better accompany you?
45045Do you remember,said Varina laughingly,"that I used to oppose a marriage between you and Annis?
45045Do you suppose I am coward enough to relinquish the woman I love in such an emergency as this? 45045 Do you suppose grandpapa is in real earnest?
45045Do you suppose she gave the letter to him?
45045Do you suppose this gold- thread embroidery will look like that imported stuff?
45045Do you suppose we''ll be asked to the wedding?
45045Do you want all of her back? 45045 Does a young man appreciate his inestimable privileges when he has a sister on whom he can practice?"
45045Does she not look well, Roger? 45045 Does the doctor think he_ will_ recover?"
45045Finer than Philadelphia?
45045Has Charles been cross to you?
45045Has Miss Mason any relatives in the war?
45045Has it been foolishness? 45045 His devotion to me?
45045How could we help it, when our poor sailors were snatched from their own vessels and made to fight against us or be beaten to death? 45045 How did he fall?"
45045How did that come about? 45045 How many days has it been?"
45045How would we have sent her back?
45045I am very glad I am not an English child, are n''t you, Eliza? 45045 I do believe I was the first one to take a real fancy to you; and do you remember how Rene quarreled with you about the babies?
45045I do wonder if it would be wrong to give Ralston an inkling of how the case stands? 45045 I do wonder if you really love me?"
45045I do wonder what grandmamma will give me? 45045 I have taken you to my heart and home-- doesn''t that count?
45045I suppose Dolly is really in love?
45045I suppose the lieutenant is quite crowded out of it all?
45045I suppose, mamma, I could n''t go with you?
45045I tried-- oh, yes, I did; but I_ was_ weak----"Is it too late to go back?
45045I was playing with the babies----"Surely it was n''t Aunt Jane?
45045I wonder if I might see him?
45045I wonder if there is a little fate in that?
45045I wonder if you could be induced to take the young ladies to a reception to- morrow evening?
45045I wonder if you will ever feel friendly enough to invite me? 45045 I wonder when you will see Miss Floyd?"
45045I''m not teasing you, Annis, am I? 45045 In an hour?"
45045Is Annis my sister truly, papa?
45045Is Patricia getting ready?
45045Is n''t it time I grew? 45045 Is the world going crazy?
45045Jane,_ do_ you think you can manage these girls for a few days and keep them out of the clutches of the young men? 45045 Jaqueline, ca n''t you think of the magic touch that will bring these two together?
45045Jaqueline, have you any idea of how fortunate you are? 45045 Let me see-- is there anyone near here that answers the requirements?"
45045Mamma-- don''t_ you_ want me?
45045Miss Mason,he began abruptly,"when have you seen Miss Floyd?"
45045Money again? 45045 Mrs. Jettson would be likely to know-- of a visit?"
45045Must we go to- day?
45045Not in case of necessity?
45045Of course Jane means to join the family party?
45045Oh, Louis, why do you tease the children so?
45045Oh, are you ready?
45045Oh, dear, can one learn so much?
45045Oh, do you think it was_ that_?
45045Oh, do you think we shall all be burned up?
45045Oh, does n''t it? 45045 Oh, little Annis, have you thrown me over?
45045Oh, what can I do? 45045 Oh, where is mamma?"
45045Oh, will they jump over the candles?
45045Ought she not, Cousin Preston? 45045 Papa,"said Charles after a pause,"shall you leave the plantation and everything to Louis because he is the oldest?"
45045Papa,she said in a plaintive tone a day or two after Stafford''s visit,"should you be very sorry if I-- were to-- stay single-- always?"
45045Polly-- you will come to- morrow?
45045Shall I go or write?
45045Shall I write to your father, or come?
45045Shall we go within?
45045She wo n''t love you best, will you, Annis? 45045 Still, you will say it?"
45045Suppose I do not care to be hurried by a fit of anger on your part? 45045 Suppose it were Jaqueline?"
45045Suppose the Indians had come?
45045Suppose we go up and have a look at this wonderful flag? 45045 Tell me the truth, sir?
45045The headaches? 45045 Then why do n''t you ask Jaqueline to love you again?
45045Then you could not persuade Miss Floyd?
45045Then you have a conscience?
45045Then you think I have been angry long enough?
45045To see me?
45045Was n''t Mr. Adams over there a long while-- and the great Mr. Benjamin Franklin, and Mr. Jay, and ever so many others? 45045 We do n''t want papa changed any, do we?"
45045We think to some purpose, too, do n''t we? 45045 We?
45045Well, what is it?
45045Well,_ what_ did he say?
45045Well-- what else?
45045Well-- why do you not answer?
45045Well-- will you bid him welcome and Godspeed?
45045Were you very cross and stern, papa?
45045What Virginia girl does not?
45045What are Jaqueline''s plans?
45045What can the wretched little army do against four thousand trained British soldiers? 45045 What did I look like, dropping at your feet?
45045What do you know about the sea?
45045What do you most desire?
45045What happened?
45045What happened?
45045What is it, little Annis? 45045 What is this?"
45045What makes you think she was sorry?
45045What was that for?
45045What-- down to the marsh? 45045 Whatever is the matter?"
45045Where are the Admiral and General Ross?
45045Where are the girls?
45045Where is Louis? 45045 Where is Roger?"
45045Where is the doctor? 45045 Why ca n''t you move up to Washington?
45045Why can I not go? 45045 Why do you want to go away, then?"
45045Why not?
45045Will you give my congratulations to your sister?
45045Will you not come downstairs?
45045Will you read this note?
45045Wo n''t you take me out with you?
45045Would n''t they? 45045 Would you be afraid to go to England?"
45045Would you want an old maid?
45045Wrote again-- then he did not forget?
45045Yes; where is that deceitful girl? 45045 You are quite sure you ca n''t remember any fall down there at Williamsburg?"
45045You do love me, little Annis, do you not?
45045You do n''t mean that he is in real earnest about that widower and the houseful of children?
45045You do n''t mean that you still consider yourself engaged?
45045You do n''t really want to tell me that you have a fancy for this wretched old fellow?
45045You love Charles as much as ever, then? 45045 You mean Lieutenant Ralston?"
45045You ride, of course?
45045You saw Ralston that dreadful morning?
45045You were down there?
45045You would n''t make me marry him?
45045After this show of proper and ceremonious behavior you can not refuse her permission?"
45045All these years he had been bitter and resentful, but if he were dying----"Can you not fly at once?
45045Am I never to have you any more?"
45045And I suppose it was a matter of satisfaction to leave that wild land behind you and return to the home of your childhood?
45045And all these large children?
45045And are you sure the lieutenant was in earnest?"
45045And do you know Charles is ill and in the doctor''s hands at Philadelphia?"
45045And does n''t he love Marian any more?"
45045And how do you know but that I''ll marry her myself?
45045And how was it_ he_ should come at this particular juncture?"
45045And if we should beat England again, would n''t it be magnificent?
45045And is it quite fair, do you think?
45045And jumping over the candles-- do you remember that, Polly?
45045And now have I not bored you enough?
45045And now, little Annis, is n''t it all made up?
45045And so you want Annis for a sweetheart, Charles?
45045And was n''t Jaqueline glad to see Lieutenant Ralston again?
45045And what if I_ had_ loved him?"
45045And what then?
45045And when he thinks a woman''s love has failed----""Do you speak from experience?"
45045And where would one find a more devoted couple than the President and his wife, who had had her youthful love and misfortunes and sorrows?
45045And why could he not have the same trust in her?
45045And why not accept our hospitality for the night?"
45045And why should I be so desperately glad?
45045And would she need to take sides anywhere?
45045And you like me, do n''t you, Annis?"
45045And you will be up often this winter?
45045And, Patricia?
45045And-- are you going next week?"
45045Annis belongs to me, do n''t you, little girl?
45045Annis, what will you do?"
45045Annis, why do you change color?"
45045Are n''t the cookies good enough to be peacemakers?"
45045Are you almost frozen?
45045Are you anywhere in her vicinity?
45045Are you going to stay long enough to go to a ball?
45045Are you not proud of your country?"
45045Are you quite sure you will not prove a tyrant?"
45045Are you to go to the levee?"
45045Are you very homesick?"
45045Aunt Catharine was good, but she fussed so much, and she''s always saying,''Now, do n''t you think you ought to do this, or give up doing that?
45045Bricks, was n''t it?
45045But I suppose you are not afraid of him, since his heart is-- oh, can you tell where it is?
45045But he was Roger''s friend as well?
45045But if_ you_ had left four children you would n''t want me for their stepmother, would you, now?
45045But tell me, did they really put out Prince Arthur''s eyes?
45045But what could anyone say about such a new country?
45045But what have_ you_ done in this matter?"
45045But what mattered when they came back to the level of love?
45045But, oh, was her own dear mother not hers any more?
45045But, then, what country is not?
45045Can I do anything for you?
45045Can Jaqueline be moved?"
45045Can you not lay an embargo on them?"
45045Carrington?"
45045Charles, have you seen enough of Washington?"
45045Chloe knew all about the bed and table linen: did n''t she bleach it up every spring in May dew?
45045Come, do n''t you want a little ride with me before I go to town?"
45045Come-- you do like us a little, do you not?"
45045Could anyone be a lady- love to two persons?
45045Could he not call on her?
45045Could her father have made_ her_ give up her lover?
45045Could she not see?
45045Did Jaqueline really love him?
45045Did Ralston know that he had been considered a sort of marplot?
45045Did anyone have a more beautiful frock?
45045Did he half envy Roger Carrington?
45045Did n''t Shakspere call it nimble wit?
45045Did not money measure most of the things in this life?
45045Did not you find it sweet?
45045Did she mean to be a schoolmistress?
45045Did she really want to go?
45045Did she think he had forgotten all?
45045Did she truly belong to father Mason?
45045Did you hear that poor Mr. Greaves is dead at last?
45045Did you never have any brothers or sisters?"
45045Did you not bring that scheming adventurer down here to meet Marian?"
45045Did you see much that was new in Baltimore, Madam Patricia?
45045Did you take enough exercise?"
45045Did you think me queer and strange that Christmas?"
45045Do I interrupt anything important?"
45045Do I look as if I had no courteous speeches at my command?"
45045Do I really look old enough for a grandfather?"
45045Do n''t you know Jack told you we were always taking sides?"
45045Do n''t you remember you used to wish for a sister like Sallie Reed?
45045Do n''t you sometimes feel a little afraid of them?"
45045Do n''t you think it hard for a little girl to be giving up her mother continually?
45045Do n''t you think they might both have been made handsomer without any great detriment to the world?
45045Do they let you go to balls as young as this?"
45045Do you feel sure that we will?"
45045Do you imagine they kindled the fire on the rocks and boiled the kettle as we do when we go off in the woods for a day''s pleasure?"
45045Do you know whether she has a lover?
45045Do you know whether the Masons, like the old Scotch woman''s ancestors, had a boat of their own at the time of the flood?"
45045Do you not think it would be better to send her over to the convent to steady her, Patty?"
45045Do you really mean me to have it?
45045Do you suppose he would if he knew it?
45045Do you suppose she will?"
45045Do you suppose they will go on as we work a sampler, make little letters and then Old- English text?
45045Do you suppose we can stand_ everything_?
45045Do you think Miss Floyd may have told her father?"
45045Do you think they will be likely to discharge me, Annis?"
45045Do you want to stay for the dancing?
45045Does n''t it seem funny to have Patty among the big people and going to the White House to dinner?
45045Does she read you lectures?"
45045Greaves?"
45045Had he expected to see her faded and worn in this brief period?
45045Had he loved her own mother in that fashion?
45045Had he not fought for the country,_ her_ country?
45045Had he really accepted her desire without a protest?
45045Had he sneered over it?
45045Had she given herself away when father Mason had put a ring on her finger and called her his wife?
45045Had she not put off the marriage on one pretext and another?
45045Had they taken all her sweetness?
45045Had we not better all return to the drawing room?"
45045Has your mother nothing?"
45045Have I been a very foolish, love- stricken swain?"
45045He looked very resolute, did n''t he?
45045He was trying to find her hand; did it come out of the great muff quite as broad as her slim figure, all soft and warm, to be pressed to his lips?
45045Housekeeping is a womanly grace or virtue or acquirement-- which do you call it?"
45045How can I thank you?"
45045How could he be content with this one brief sup of happiness?
45045How could they be so cruel?"
45045How fares it with her?"
45045How many are there?"
45045How many disconsolates did you leave at Williamsburg?"
45045How many lovers have you had?
45045How much ought she to admit?
45045I do n''t believe father would mind-- would you?"
45045I do n''t suppose anything would induce father to give up the estate here?"
45045I do n''t suppose you ever will take us to London, papa?"
45045I do n''t suppose you have heard from Marian?"
45045I do wonder if there is any real danger?"
45045I mean honest to-- to enjoy it all?
45045I suppose Lieutenant Ralston was in the thick of the fight?"
45045I suppose you know I met the Masons at the inauguration?
45045I was n''t very daring-- Annis, was n''t I something of a babyish boy?"
45045I wonder if I will have time to finish that flower in the morning?"
45045I wonder who will come along for me?
45045Is he likely to recover?"
45045Is it Mr. Ralston?
45045Is it a historical fact or a Shaksperean apothegm?
45045Is n''t it a bit of patriotism to want to build up one''s own city?
45045Is n''t that rather choice and fit and elegant?
45045Is she like her mother?"
45045Is there anything else?
45045It kills people sometimes, does n''t it?"
45045It seems ages ago, does n''t it?
45045It would be very disagreeable to be bad friends?"
45045It''s the most beautiful baby in the world, is n''t it?"
45045Jack, was their meeting here pure accident?
45045Jack,_ did_ you plan it?"
45045Jaqueline, ca n''t we go to Washington some time and really see it?
45045Jaqueline, have you ordered the horses?"
45045Jaqueline, how do you do?
45045Jaqueline, where did you find him?"
45045Jaqueline, who is your letter from?"
45045Jaqueline, you do n''t mean to marry Lieutenant Ralston yourself, after all?
45045Jaqueline,"hesitatingly,"does anyone love you too much?
45045Lieutenant Ralston, shall we ever have a Capital worthy of the nation?"
45045Lieutenant Yardley is one of the country''s heroes, and you----"How should she put it?
45045Look at that fire bird-- isn''t he gorgeous?
45045Madison?"
45045Marian, did you know that Mr. Ralston wrote again?"
45045Marian, if it comes a second time you will not refuse?"
45045Mistress Annis Mason, may I have the pleasure of escorting you to the grand naval ball?
45045Now shall I go further back and tell you of all the downfalls I have had?
45045Oh, Patty, do you remember our first visit here?
45045Oh, did you see that exquisite lace Aunt Catharine sent her?
45045Oh, do you truly think the country will go to ruin and split up into fragments?"
45045Oh, papa, ca n''t something be done?
45045Oh, you will make up friends?"
45045Oh, you_ do_ believe that?
45045Only what do you think?
45045Only you were wrong about----""Ralston?
45045Or did you have mischief in your mind?"
45045Or was it her salvation that no rich lover came to hand?
45045Or was it really fear?
45045Our little wasp?"
45045Perhaps we might go as a party-- would you mind?"
45045Perhaps we seemed dull to you?
45045Rene, do you not want to go along?"
45045Roger?"
45045Shall I commend this young lady to your care?
45045Shall I give you my best, my most heartfelt wishes?
45045Shall I run up to the house for anything?"
45045She had a kind of shy way-- looking back and forth; do you remember it?
45045She had thought a three- or four- days''separation very hard-- how would she stand weeks and months?
45045She took his hand-- did she make a confession in the pressure?
45045Since Washington was a heap of ruins and would have to be rebuilt, why not remove it to some more advantageous location?
45045Suppose he had wanted to take part in a play with a girl she had not liked?
45045Suppose we keep her for the next year or two?"
45045Surely Patty or Jacky have not been scolding you?
45045That is, when she is in her true home?
45045The pearls and the rubies are bespoke, and she has a diamond cross that has been in the family-- how long?"
45045The whip- poor- wills called to each other, the mocking bird flung out a note now and then as if he said saucily,"_ Did_ you think I was asleep?"
45045There are a good many grand men in the world, are there not?
45045There will be an election in the coming autumn, and how do you know but we may be plunged into war and need you for our own defense?
45045There, is n''t that lovely?"
45045Think of a man asking for-- what were they building the tower out of?
45045Was it her desire?
45045Was it not a dream?
45045Was it not nearly the center?
45045Was it prettier because it was on a ship?
45045Was it true that a girl found pleasure in variety rather than constancy?
45045Was it utter indifference?
45045Was n''t it all grand?
45045Was not that dutiful?"
45045Was she anything but a volatile, teasing girl, with no deep feelings?
45045Was she in any way relieved?
45045Was she much homesick after her mother?"
45045Was she staying with her sister?
45045Was there any real danger?
45045We were altogether in the right, were n''t we, Eliza?"
45045Well-- and what did Cato say?"
45045Well-- you will go, then?"
45045Were most girls reluctant to marry?
45045Were they all on her side?
45045Were you very much frightened?
45045What are you smiling at?"
45045What can I do?
45045What does Annis say to all this?"
45045What has happened to you?"
45045What if they should continue their work of devastation in this direction?
45045What is that despondent song you sing so much?
45045What is this invitation, pray?"
45045What is youth for but a time to be merry and glad and to have good times?
45045What shall I do?"
45045What will you do when Jaqueline refuses some nice, suitable, prosperous young man and sets her heart on a spendthrift-- a ne''er- do- well?"
45045What would you have done in your youth?"
45045Whatever happens, you will always love me, Annis?"
45045When I feel quite sure I love you----""Is there any such blessed moment?"
45045When did you return?
45045When is it to be?"
45045Where have you been all this long time?"
45045Where was her mother?
45045Where''s father?
45045Which is it, Jaqueline?"
45045Who is this wonderful new poet?
45045Who?"
45045Why birds should borrow plumes-- I am shamefully ignorant, am I not?"
45045Why ca n''t papa build on Virginia Avenue, and have a nice garden, and keep horses, and----"What else was there for him to do?
45045Why could n''t he have given his daughter to the young fellow who loved her?
45045Why did he not"ask Jaqueline to love him again"?
45045Why do n''t they come to breakfast?"
45045Why do you all look so queer?
45045Why do you suppose Jacky did n''t marry Mr. Carrington?
45045Why should he not put his fate to the touch, like a man, or dismiss her from his mind?
45045Why should he want Annis?
45045Why should n''t we be as proud as of old_ Mayflower_ tables and cups and cloaks that the New Englanders dote on?"
45045Why, then, was she not ready to step into his life and make it glad with a supreme touch of happiness?
45045Will it be out of order for you to dance, I wonder?
45045Will that satisfy your lordship?
45045Will you amuse yourself while I find him?
45045Will you tell Mrs. Jettson the result of my letter?
45045Wo n''t you make some of your relatives bring you over to Annapolis?
45045Would a line from her bring him back?
45045Would it be very unwomanly?"
45045Would you have me turn haughty now?"
45045Would you like to come upstairs with me?"
45045Would you take her away?"
45045You are mothering her?
45045You can wish me success-- I hope?"
45045You could n''t refuse altogether?"
45045You do n''t know----"Did she really know Marian herself?
45045You go to the Pineries quite often?"
45045You knew my plans concerning my daughter Marian?"
45045You think he will recover?"
45045You were here on a visit-- when, Patricia?"
45045You were of the Moore branch, I believe, kin to my son''s first wife?"
45045You will like the pink, wo n''t you?
45045You will not want to go away?"
45045You wo n''t feel lonesome, little Annis?"
45045You would n''t believe that I was once quite as slim as you?"
45045Your mamma''s maiden name, perhaps?"
45045cried Jane,"did you have a dreadful time when father was down here?
45045she cried,"do you remember the young midshipman at the naval ball when there was such an excitement?
45045what is this all about?"
45045wondered Patty;"and what a farce congratulations would be?
63223A Montague and Capulet affair?
63223A draft? 63223 A written message?"
63223About the Japanese Ambassador?
63223About what?
63223After you had discovered the loss of the plans?
63223Ah, indeed; where is Mr. Winthrop now?
63223Ah, then you do_ not_ think the negro coachman, Hamilton, guilty?
63223Alone?
63223And afterward?
63223And afterwards?
63223And do you think I am less so?
63223And if I do n''t?
63223And is that all you have to go upon for such an accusation?
63223And that nation?
63223And what did he say to that statement?
63223And what did you and Annette, Miss Thornton''s French maid, discuss before you left here?
63223And what does she look like?
63223And what has the woman to say in the matter?
63223And what was discovered?
63223And where were you between the hours of nine- thirty and twelve?
63223And you found her----?
63223And you think?
63223And your reasons?
63223And your theory is?
63223Anyone been to see me or telephoned, Jonas?
63223Anything to drink around here?
63223Are n''t you going to speak to_ me_?
63223Are the detectives still hanging around the house?
63223Are you feeling better, dear?
63223Are you sure the room is unoccupied?
63223At what hour did he go?
63223At what hour did you reach his apartment?
63223At what hour was that?
63223Aye, what?
63223Before or after the Spaniard had been here?
63223But the motive?
63223But what,pulling himself up,"what has that unfortunate girl''s death to do with me?"
63223By the way, who is this Miss Thornton?
63223By whose hand?
63223Ca n''t give a poor blasted Englishman a point on the situation, I suppose?
63223Ca n''t you administer it surreptitiously?
63223Ca n''t you give her an opiate?
63223Can I see the letters?
63223Can I talk to your niece, Miss Cynthia Carew?
63223Can not you imagine that for yourself?
63223Can you dine with me, Douglas?
63223Can you stay here all night?
63223Captain Lane,wheeling around,"why have you returned to this house at so early an hour in the morning?"
63223Come, Brett, what theory have you formed?
63223Come, now, did n''t you break some rules when in Japan?
63223Could anyone have slipped past you and Colonel Thornton when you stood waiting in the hallway for the gas to evaporate?
63223Could you hear what was said?
63223Dead?
63223Did Annette commit suicide, or was she killed by human or supernatural agency?
63223Did Captain Lane spend the evening with you and Colonel Thornton?
63223Did Nicodemus inform you that the maid was here?
63223Did Senator Carew call on you on Monday night?
63223Did Senator Carew give you a letter to mail yesterday afternoon, or a note to deliver for him?
63223Did anyone accompany you?
63223Did anyone else know that he was there?
63223Did anyone see you in the dining room last night?
63223Did he find the carriage?
63223Did he give you his name?
63223Did he see your maid?
63223Did he show you a letter which he was then writing?
63223Did he state the nature of that business?
63223Did he take luncheon here?
63223Did he wish her to marry Philip Winthrop?
63223Did n''t you ask his name?
63223Did no one see him slip out of the door into the hall?
63223Did she and Fred Lane patch up their quarrel?
63223Did she ever insinuate that he had something to do with the murder of Senator Carew?
63223Did she say nothing to you then about having moved down on your floor?
63223Did she speak to Colonel Thornton or to Miss Eleanor before moving into the room?
63223Did the Senator state what he wished to see me about?
63223Did the bolt and lock work stiffly?
63223Did the footman or butler notice anything in his hand when he left the house?
63223Did the room have no other exit except the one door leading to the hall?
63223Did this lover''s quarrel take place_ before_ Senator Carew''s death?
63223Did you discover any evidence of a struggle or marks of violence about the woman''s person?
63223Did you ever know anyone in Georgetown named Douglas Hunter?
63223Did you find the windows of the room also bolted when you entered?
63223Did you follow Senator Carew''s advice?
63223Did you get any information from Annette yesterday?
63223Did you know your maid was sleeping in the southwest chamber?
63223Did you meet with any success, Mr. Hunter, in the inquiries you said you would make this afternoon?
63223Did you not see them arrive?
63223Did you see Miss Thornton again?
63223Did you see Senator Carew after that?
63223Did you see Senator Carew before his death?
63223Did you see Senator Carew leave the house yesterday afternoon?
63223Did you see Senator Carew?
63223Did you see all three of them?
63223Did you see anyone leave this room, Joshua?
63223Did you see him alone, or were others present?
63223Did you see the envelope?
63223Did you think to examine the landau? 63223 Did you?"
63223Did-- did she have beefsteak and fried onions this morning?
63223Do n''t you think, Mr. Secretary, that there is danger of being too secretive, and that the guilty party may slip through our fingers?
63223Do you believe his statements?
63223Do you believe it?
63223Do you honestly mean that you think Lane deliberately put the girl he loved into the carriage to sit beside the man he had just murdered?
63223Do you know how long Senator Carew and young Winthrop remained in this room?
63223Do you know if she had lost money?
63223Do you know on what grounds they arrested Fred Lane for the murder of Senator Carew?
63223Do you know the time?
63223Do you mean to say that you did not investigate further?
63223Do you really think that supernatural means caused her death?
63223Do you refer to the Diplomatic Corps?
63223Do you still cling to the theory that she met her death because some one was afraid of what she would tell you to- day?
63223Do you think I''m going to sit here and listen to aspersions on my niece''s character?
63223Do you think a penny would bring me any comfort?
63223Do you think he was an American?
63223Do you think him guilty?
63223Do you use portières?
63223Do you wish to kill off the Corps bodily? 63223 Does she want me for anything in particular?"
63223Does the Senator really think to marry?
63223Douglas Hunter? 63223 Five thousand dollars;"then, noting Thornton''s expression, asked:"You think it too much?"
63223For what reason?
63223Formed any new theory?
63223Fred Lane, of the Engineer Corps?
63223Got any, Nicodemus?
63223Happiness?
63223Has Captain Lane been here yet?
63223Has Cynthia been told of Annette''s death?
63223Has Hamilton a lawyer to look out for his interests?
63223Has Mrs. Winthrop consented to Miss Carew''s spending to- morrow at your house?
63223Has it occurred to you that Senator Carew''s missing letter, which Brett is so anxious to find, may have been addressed to you?
63223Has she been despondent of late?
63223Has she been with you long?
63223Has such a letter been found by Brett?
63223Has your maid had an unfortunate love affair?
63223Have a sandwich?
63223Have you any brandy?
63223Have you any idea where Senator Carew dined and spent the evening?
63223Have you any idea where Senator Carew dined the night of his death?
63223Have you any idea, Joshua, what caused the quarrel yesterday afternoon?
63223Have you everything you wish, Mademoiselle Eleanor?
63223Have you had a pleasant time this afternoon, Kate?
63223Have you had your lunch, Wyndham?
63223Have you heard the shocking news of Senator Carew''s--she hesitated for a moment--"tragic death?"
63223Have you inquired at the different messenger services in town?
63223Have you met with any success?
63223Have you searched Carew''s belongings?
63223Have you seen Miss Eleanor?
63223Have you such a desk set, Eleanor?
63223He was n''t?
63223Heard the news?
63223Heart action?
63223How comes it, then, that you allowed gas pipes to be placed in the room?
63223How did Senator Carew get into that carriage?
63223How did the Senator know where a note would reach you?
63223How did you come to put the maid in that room?
63223How did you discover Senator Carew was dead, Miss Thornton?
63223How did you get here?
63223How did you know I had been to see you, Chisholm?
63223How did you know it?
63223How did you leave Cynthia?
63223How do you know he is n''t hiding somewhere?
63223How do you know it was Miss Thornton?
63223How have you been since I saw you last, Miss Thornton?
63223How is Cynthia?
63223How late did you stay there?
63223How long do you think she had been dead before you reached her?
63223How long have you been with Senator Carew, Joshua?
63223How long was he with Miss Carew?
63223How long were your wife and her friends in this office?
63223How much do you wish made public?
63223How much?
63223How so?
63223How so?
63223How the devil can I get it open? 63223 How, then, did he get his own carriage?"
63223How-- what killed her?
63223How?
63223How?
63223How?
63223I called to see Mr. Brett; is he here?
63223I do n''t catch your meaning?
63223I had the dream Sunday night,sobbed Cynthia,"then Monday, when I thought we could announce our engagement----""Whose engagement?"
63223I hope you can give me a few minutes of your time,said Brett;"will you be so good as to step into the library?"
63223I must first tell you that my mother was Nora Fitzgerald----"The famous actress?
63223If he could n''t get a cab, why did he not call up his own house and send for his carriage earlier in the evening?
63223Impossible? 63223 In searching the room did you discover any secret passages leading to it?"
63223In what way does Mrs. Winthrop need my services?
63223In what way?
63223In your opinion would a person locking the door and shooting the bolt into place make enough noise to awaken the sleeper?
63223Indeed? 63223 Indeed?
63223Indeed?
63223Indeed?
63223Inquest?
63223Is Hamilton still in jail?
63223Is Mr. Winthrop a heavy drinker?
63223Is Soto a Jap?
63223Is any house being built in this neighborhood?
63223Is he an old family servant?
63223Is it all over?
63223Is it not pitiful?
63223Is n''t it?
63223Is she a good servant?
63223Is she better?
63223Is that all?
63223Is that enough to convict?
63223Is that so?
63223Is that why Senator Carew objected to her engagement to Captain Lane?
63223Is that your only reason for believing the negro innocent?
63223Is the letter file missing?
63223Is there a branch telephone in the house?
63223Is there any way of entering the room by a window?
63223Is there anything I can do for you?
63223Is there anything which strikes you as being of vital importance in the case which has not yet been brought out?
63223Is there such a thing as a long scaling ladder on the premises?
63223It is_ you_, Philip?
63223It were dis- away, suh; jes''befo''dinnah she cum ter me an''Sophy an''say she doan like de room in de third flo''----"Why not?
63223Joshua, is this Miss Thornton''s maid?
63223Mademoiselle is more comfortable,_ n''est- ce pas?_she asked briskly.
63223May I ask why you take such an interest in this case?
63223May I ask you why you thought such precautions necessary?
63223May we see the new charts of the Pacific?
63223Miss Eleanor, why does she refuse to see me?
63223Miss Thornton, is she in?
63223Miss Thornton,--the Secretary bent forward impressively,--"were you engaged to Senator Carew?"
63223Miss Thornton,facing her directly,"have you formed any theory as to how your maid came to be asphyxiated?"
63223Mr. Winthrop,asked Douglas, breaking the short silence,"were you and your uncle always on good terms?"
63223Mrs. Winthrop,the detective spoke with greater distinctness,"was Senator Carew on good terms with all the members of his family?"
63223My thoughts? 63223 Nicodemus, is that you?"
63223No; why should he? 63223 No?
63223Now, Mr. Brett, what do you wish to ask me?
63223Now, what the devil do you mean?
63223Of course I received it-- why otherwise should I be here?
63223Of which crime?
63223Oh, is he the tall, fine- looking man I saw talking to Joshua in the hall yesterday morning?
63223Oh, why did n''t you come to me?
63223Oh, why did you stop?
63223One thousand dollars, did you say,_ Monsieur_? 63223 Reward?"
63223Shall I retire?
63223So Mrs. Winthrop took the word of a worthless servant, the better to humiliate me...."Had Annette any grounds for her accusation?
63223So you believe the people of Panama are already dissatisfied with their president?
63223So you brought Annette with you?
63223Solid?
63223Tell me what leads you to think that?
63223Tell me, dearest, how did you happen to select a ruby?
63223That was the Japanese Ambassador, was it not?
63223That''s very good of you, sir,Douglas hesitated,"but do n''t you think I might be in the way in a family party?"
63223The room is very dark, wo n''t you light another burner, Douglas?
63223Then how did she come to be occupying the other room?
63223Then suppose we make it Monday night at the Metropolitan Club?
63223Then where did you spend it?
63223Then who is that?
63223Then why was a drop light fastened to the wall bracket by the side of the bed?
63223Then would you mind asking Captain Lane to come down, Miss Thornton? 63223 Then you deny running out after his carriage, which Mr. Winthrop declares you did?"
63223Then you think it likely that he dined with some of his official colleagues?
63223Then you think the time is ripe for carrying out your scheme?
63223Then you were not expecting her?
63223Then you will take the case?
63223Then your niece is thoroughly acquainted with this building?
63223Then, how was it that he was driving the carriage last night?
63223Then_ no_ one knew she was occupying that room except you and Sophy?
63223They? 63223 To do_ what_?"
63223To whom did you make such a promise?
63223To whom do you think that letter was written?
63223To- morrow-- will you go with me to- morrow?
63223Uncle James, are you trying to play a practical joke?
63223Unoccupied?
63223Was Annette in the house?
63223Was Senator Carew irritable and quick- tempered?
63223Was he well dressed?
63223Was it very dreadful at the cemetery?
63223Was it your brother''s custom not to inform you where he was dining?
63223Was n''t that rather an unusual hour for him to stay?
63223Was that the first time that Senator Carew and Mr. Winthrop have quarreled?
63223Was the door locked on the_ inside_?
63223Was there anything unusual in Senator Carew''s manner?
63223Was there-- was there-- an autopsy?
63223Was this drawer locked when your strange visitor was admitted?
63223Well, my dear, may I come in?
63223Well, what about him?
63223Well, what then?
63223Well, what then?
63223Were they stolen from this office?
63223What about the threatening letters to Senator Carew which Mrs. Winthrop thought I sent?
63223What are they?
63223What became of him?
63223What brought back your memory?
63223What callers did you see besides the Spaniard?
63223What caused Miss Carew''s indisposition?
63223What did I tell you?
63223What did he look like?
63223What did he want with you?
63223What did my niece do, besides standing still and looking up and down the street?
63223What did the file look like?
63223What did you do next?
63223What did you do then?
63223What did you mean,he asked,"by saying this afternoon that Senator Carew told you he could help you to bring your quest to a successful conclusion?"
63223What do you make out of it?
63223What do you mean?
63223What do you mean?
63223What do you think caused her death?
63223What do you think of it?
63223What does the doctor mean by letting you come out?
63223What happened?
63223What have the Americans on their conscience that they can not sleep in the morning?
63223What is all this I am told about the southwest chamber being haunted?
63223What is it you wish to know?
63223What is the matter with him?
63223What is the meaning of this?
63223What is your dream?
63223What is----?
63223What luck did you have with Mrs. Winthrop, Uncle Dana?
63223What luck did you meet with?
63223What makes you think that?
63223What members of the family were in the house yesterday afternoon?
63223What news to- day, Annette?
63223What news?
63223What on earth was her object in making such a statement?
63223What shall I do?
63223What sort of a fellow is Lane?
63223What was Captain Lane doing here last night?
63223What was it about the door that caused her to scream?
63223What was its contents?
63223What was the exact trouble between Senator Carew and Governor Lane, Cousin Kate?
63223What was your object in going there?
63223What were they?
63223What were you saying, Cousin Kate?
63223What''s all this questioning about?
63223What''s that in your hand?
63223What''s that?
63223What''s your plan, Uncle Dana?
63223What, a bribe?
63223What, in this weather, Kate?
63223What-- you do n''t mean----?
63223What?
63223What?
63223When did Miss Thornton enter the house?
63223When did that happen?
63223When did this conversation take place?
63223When did this happen?
63223When did you arrive in Washington?
63223When did you discover the plans of the battleships were missing?
63223When did you last see your maid?
63223When did you leave this house?
63223When may I call on you?
63223Where are you stopping?
63223Where did Carew spend the evening?
63223Where did he get the weapon?
63223Where did you last see Senator Carew?
63223Where do you keep this desk set?
63223Where do you wish to go, Miss Thornton?
63223Where has she gone?
63223Where in the world did you see him?
63223Where in thunder are the matches?
63223Where is Aunt Charlotte?
63223Where is Miss Eleanor?
63223Where is Philip?
63223Where is the Senator this evening?
63223Where is your room?
63223Where shall we go, Uncle Dana?
63223Where''s Eleanor?
63223Who gave her that information?
63223Who has been in the hall besides yourself?
63223Who has rooms on the next floor?
63223Who opened the door into the library a few moments ago?
63223Who was it?
63223Who would commit such a deed? 63223 Who-- who are you, and where in hell did you come from?"
63223Who-- who-- is it?
63223Whom do you wish to see?
63223Whom-- whom-- do they suspect?
63223Why did you avoid me in Paris?
63223Why did you leave Paris without saying good- bye to me?
63223Why did you not come forward with this information then?
63223Why did you not go at once to see Senator Carew when you arrived in Washington?
63223Why did you not send me this information before?
63223Why did you wish him to keep his visit here a secret, Miss Thornton?
63223Why do n''t you investigate her past, Brett? 63223 Why do you take an interest in a man with blue eyes and black hair?"
63223Why have n''t you been to see me, Douglas?
63223Why not?
63223Why so? 63223 Why this sudden interest in my great- great- grandfather?"
63223Why, certainly,exclaimed Winthrop, with well simulated heartiness;"wo n''t you both sit down?"
63223Why, what do you mean?
63223Why, why did she do it?
63223Why?
63223Why?
63223Why?
63223Will you both be seated?
63223Will you have an ice or sandwich?
63223Will you join me?
63223Will you please explain to me,broke in Fred Lane,"why Mrs. Winthrop swore out a warrant for my arrest?
63223With what results?
63223Would you have gone with me?
63223Would you mind stating what this quest is?
63223You are absolutely certain, Wyndham, that you have n''t been out of this office except on that one occasion?
63223You believe, then, that Senator Carew was murdered by his servant?
63223You called to see Secretary Wyndham at the Navy Department on Wednesday morning, did you not, Miss Thornton?
63223You do n''t think the draft blew out the gas?
63223You mean----?
63223You never took the trouble to make inquiries about me?
63223You recollect how it rained last night?
63223You think then that I am an acquired taste?
63223You were the first to enter the southwest chamber, were you not?
63223You wish to see me?
63223Zo?
63223_ Que hay?_inquired the Colombian of the proprietor.
63223A discreet tap sounded on the library door, and a muffled voice asked:"''Scuse me, but am Miss Eleanor in dar?"
63223And you?"
63223At what hour?"
63223Brett did not press the point, but asked instead:"Where did you spend last night?"
63223Brett?"
63223Brett?"
63223Brett?"
63223But how do you expect to alter his attitude?"
63223But how the devil did he accomplish it?"
63223But suppose he was drunk?
63223But the motive, man?"
63223By the way, is she any relation of yours?"
63223By the way, why did n''t you come to the telephone last night?
63223CHAPTER XVII THE MYSTERY DEEPENS"Where''s Brett?"
63223CHAPTER XVIII IN THE NAME OF THE LAW"Well, and what then?"
63223Can you arrange it for me?"
63223Can you arrange such a meeting?"
63223Can you come to us for a few days?
63223Can you help me meet her?"
63223Cynthia, Cynthia, had you so little faith?"
63223Dare he penetrate the mystery, or was he afraid to face the issue?
63223Did you get my note this morning?"
63223Did you watch the Senator leave the house?"
63223Do you know him?"
63223Do you remember the man''s name?"
63223Do you think otherwise?"
63223Does the dining room communicate with the drawing- room?"
63223Douglas, do you really think he was guilty?"
63223Douglas, do you recollect asking me about a man who you thought you saw with me in the elevator at the Navy Department on Wednesday?"
63223Had Mammon spoiled the old simplicity, and had Washington become but a suburb of New York and Chicago?
63223Had his faith been misplaced?
63223Have the ladies come yet?"
63223Have you a message for me?"
63223Have you any idea of the transports''destination?"
63223Have you any idea when the Senator left the house?"
63223How did you suppose?"
63223How long have the papers been in your possession, Wyndham?"
63223How much shall it be?"
63223How was it possible to have an accident under those circumstances?"
63223How would she greet him?
63223How''s Sophy?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223Hunter?"
63223I was taken completely by surprise by the man''s statement and asked:''What day did you expect to meet Senator Carew here?''
63223If so, how came he there?
63223If so, what, then, became of his own theory of an international intrigue?
63223Is Mrs. Truxton waiting to see me?"
63223Is n''t that Colonel Thornton beckoning to us over there?"
63223Is that gratitude?"
63223Mr. Hunter, are you coming down town?"
63223Must I eat that egg?"
63223Must you both be going?"
63223Not noticing his companion''s silence, the Englishman added,"Is she still hunting around looking up old files and records?"
63223Not the Douglas Hunter of the Diplomatic Corps, whom Uncle James was forever talking about?"
63223Or was it the sight of Eleanor Thornton, looking radiantly beautiful, which set his heart throbbing in a most unusual manner?
63223Owen?"
63223Secretary?"
63223Shall we walk over and join him?"
63223She surprised a look in Douglas''face-- why did he appear as if caught?
63223Suppose the man was a stranger?
63223Tell me, are there any new developments in the Carew case?"
63223Tell me, what information did Mrs. Winthrop supply which induced you to arrest Captain Lane?"
63223Their married life was unusually happy; therefore it was all the more incredible and tragic when one day he disappeared----""Disappeared?"
63223Then in a louder tone,"Well, Uncle Dana, how are you?"
63223Then perhaps you only saw the maid, Annette, when she was_ asleep_?"
63223Therefore, why not enjoy the goods the gods provided and be thankful?
63223Want ter go to yo''room, suh?"
63223Was Douglas taking sides against her?
63223Was his attack also caused by the shock of Uncle James''death?"
63223Was it murder or suicide?"
63223Was it possible that she could mean_ the_ Eleanor Thornton he used to know?
63223Was there to be no awakening?
63223Well, James, what is it?"
63223Well, Jones?"
63223Were you aware that Annette intended to sleep in the southwest chamber?"
63223Whar yo''at?"
63223What did I tell you?"
63223What did the Ambassador''s abrupt departure portend?
63223What did you want to say to me on the telephone, Dana?"
63223What earthly business is it of his?"
63223What good will Cynthia''s staying in that gloomy house do poor Carew?
63223What is he doing here now?"
63223What is it?"
63223What is the old gentleman''s name?"
63223What led her to believe me guilty?"
63223What was Captain Lane doing here?"
63223What was it that he had promised?
63223Where did you get such an idea?"
63223Where had she seen those eyes before?
63223Where on earth could it come from?
63223Who is the girl?"
63223Who quarreled?
63223Who swore out that warrant?"
63223Who?"
63223Who?"
63223Why are you giving me such weak tea, Eleanor?
63223Why are you packing, Annette?"
63223Why do you ask about Douglas?"
63223Why do you shun your friends?"
63223Why had his memory played him so scurvy a trick?
63223Why had she intervened?
63223Why have you waited all this time before mentioning that you think Miss Thornton guilty of Senator Carew''s murder?"
63223Why was he an outcast?
63223Will you be so kind as to ask your cousin, Mrs. Truxton, to step here for a few minutes?"
63223Will you please inform me what made that poor girl faint in the drawing- room?"
63223Winthrop nodded sullenly, then began:"You recollect that I spent Monday night at the Alibi Club, Brett?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Winthrop?"
63223Wo n''t you come and see the rose garden with me?
63223You do n''t mean----?"
63223You have been going out a great deal this winter, have you not?"
63223You were the first to examine the dead woman upstairs; what do you think caused her death?"
63223he asked,"besides the one in the library?
63223in growing astonishment,"_ Annette_ told you I was indisposed and could not be disturbed?"
63223what on earth was she doing in the library at that hour?"
63223why did you take that sharp letter file with you?"
9812A blind?
9812A blind?
9812About Sheerness?
9812Ah, a mobilization?
9812Ah, indeed? 9812 Ah, indeed?"
9812Ah, so that is why you take an interest in his invention?
9812Ah, then she was fond of Miss Kathleen?
9812Ah, then she was in the habit of coming?
9812Also visitors are forbidden at the Government Radio Station at Arlington?
9812Am I to find him by the process of elimination?
9812And I have come tonight to confide in you...."Have you?
9812And afterward did you find any trace of papers''having been stolen? 9812 And does not the result justify not only your confidence but promotion?"
9812And how is that to be accomplished if you have not the young lady''s consent?
9812And how is the excellent Mr. Spencer this morning?
9812And is the Secret Service not investigating the matter?
9812And mothers? 9812 And that is--?"
9812And that is--?
9812And that visitors are not encouraged to loiter on government reservations?
9812And von Mueller was in the house that night-- do you deny it?
9812And what about Heinrich?
9812And what did you find?
9812And what is that?
9812And what was Miss Grey doing in the attic at that hour of the morning?
9812And what was Mr. Spencer doing the last time you saw him?
9812And where was that?
9812And where would you suggest that we hunt for this guilty party?
9812And which servant imparted that information to you?
9812And why did he confide in you?
9812And why not?
9812And you have his consent to the match?
9812And you have resided in Washington since then?
9812Any further news tonight, Heinrich?
9812Any mail for me in the noon delivery?
9812Any news of the Atlantic fleet, Heinrich?
9812Any orders?
9812Any particular time scheduled for the event?
9812Are these the clothes he had on at the time of his death?
9812Are you dead to all sense of decency?
9812Are you dining out tonight?
9812Are you ever joined while in your studio by your wife and daughter and their friends?
9812Are you familiar with his latest invention?
9812Are you prepared to take it up?
9812Are you pro- German, Kiametia?
9812Are you prudent to tax your strength after all you were subjected to yesterday?
9812Are you willing to let me curtail your note with a payment of five thousand dollars?
9812As for instance--?
9812Asleep?
9812At what height were they taken?
9812At what hour did death occur?
9812At what hour did the members of your club depart?
9812Been a steward, have n''t you?
9812But he has invented something that we need more...."What is that?
9812But how would you suggest going about to catch the thief?
9812But my woman''s intuition tells me..."Yes?
9812But surely he has had the camera tested thoroughly?
9812But why not come openly, Julie? 9812 But why?"
9812But will she not read the papers?
9812But you would not call him an intimate friend?
9812By means of the knife?
9812Ca n''t a good- looking man come to Washington without being swamped with invitations?
9812Ca n''t he wait until tomorrow? 9812 Ca n''t we get our wounded to the base hospital, Major?"
9812Can I get you a seat, sir?
9812Can I leave you anywhere, Captain-- Miller?
9812Can I see Miss Whitney?
9812Can you let me have a hundred dollars?
9812Can you not see that your presence is an offense?
9812Can you spare me a moment, Winslow? 9812 Can you tell me if Mr. Spencer was wearing his pajamas in bed?"
9812Can you tell us who did, Miss Whitney?
9812Captain Karl von Mueller,she said cuttingly,"to use the name by which I knew you abroad, do you wish my father''s invention for Germany?"
9812Change your mind and have some Scotch?
9812Could you go and see if he is with her, Miss Grey?
9812Could you tell from what floor the elevator came when you pushed your floor button?
9812Dad,Kathleen lowered her voice and moved closer to him,"has it occurred to you that-- that people are unduly curious about your invention?"
9812Did Foster happen to tell you that Sinclair Spencer had in his will made him executor of his estate?
9812Did I?
9812Did Julie, your wife''s maid, ever evince undue curiosity in your work?
9812Did Kathleen see him on Wednesday?
9812Did Kathleen''s unnatural mother deliberately have that syringe marked with her daughter''s initials?
9812Did Mr. Spencer communicate with you Tuesday by letter or telephone?
9812Did Mr. Spencer give you any inkling Tuesday night that he intended to be an early riser on Wednesday morning?
9812Did Mr. Spencer make any attempt to persuade you to reconsider your refusal?
9812Did he agree to it?
9812Did he ever show deep interest in it?
9812Did he?
9812Did n''t you tell me that someone was ill and required medical assistance? 9812 Did not your husband tell you of Mr. Spencer''s presence?"
9812Did she appear as usual?
9812Did she attend the meeting of your club?
9812Did she ever meet Mr. Spencer away from the house?
9812Did she say nothing to you and Minna when you were with her before the doctor arrived?
9812Did she seem discontented with her situation?''
9812Did she tell you so?
9812Did the Germans accept your identity without question?
9812Did the bullet fit it?
9812Did you consider her case dangerous?
9812Did you construct this tunnel under the pavement--pointing to where the telegraph wires entered the chamber--"and install this outfit by yourself?"
9812Did you discover his presence at once?
9812Did you enter Mr. Spencer''s bedroom the next morning after hearing of his death?
9812Did you examine the bedroom Mr. Spencer occupied Tuesday night, Mitchell?
9812Did you examine the deceased''s clothes?
9812Did you find any indication in the room that Mr. Spencer expected to return to it?
9812Did you find anything in the room belonging to the deceased?
9812Did you for one moment suppose I would accept a penny from Sinclair Spencer or his estate?
9812Did you give her my note?
9812Did you go at all to Mr. Spencer''s bedroom yesterday morning after hearing of his death?
9812Did you hear any unusual sounds during the night?
9812Did you hear no report?
9812Did you help him undress?

9812Did you question her on the subject of the mystery surrounding Mr. Spencer''s death?
9812Did you receive your invitation to the Morton reception, Kathleen?

9812Did you then make Mr. Sinclair Spencer''s acquaintance?
9812Did you use the elevator then?
9812Did you wish to see Miss Kathleen, sir?
9812Do you call half- past six o''clock soon?
9812Do you hold your inventions dearer than your daughter''s future happiness, which you are willing to intrust to my care?
9812Do you mean-- Spencer was murdered?
9812Do you never crave for that happiness, Kiametia?
9812Do you not realize the depth of my love? 9812 Do you not yet realize, Minna, that this is my life work?"
9812Do you recognize this knife?
9812Do you still wish me to keep up this particular work?
9812Do you suppose the Whitneys are here?
9812Do you think I will trust you with the drawings and models of my latest inventions?
9812Do you think the coroner''s jury influenced my judgment, sweetheart? 9812 Do you think the unsupported statement of a woman suspected of murder will find credence?"
9812Does she?
9812Does the kettle call the pot black? 9812 Eggs all right, sir?"
9812Eh?
9812Engaged? 9812 Fell?"
9812Finished your search?
9812Finished?
9812Fleeting fancy?
9812Followed me?
9812For how many years have you known Sinclair Spencer?
9812Gentlemen of the jury,he said,"have you reached a verdict?"
9812Had it gotten about among your servants that you were working upon an important invention?
9812Had the bed been slept in?
9812Had you only the one knife, Miss Whitney?
9812Has Miss Kathleen returned?
9812Has either of you seen anyone enter my bedroom?

9812He was familiar with your house, then?
9812Heinrich,turning to the chauffeur, who stood respectfully waiting,"did you learn the strength of the fleet?"
9812Honest Injun, Dad?
9812How am I to get in touch with the private shipyards and munition plants?
9812How are you going to prove it? 9812 How are you?"
9812How can I express my gratitude?
9812How did Kathleen come to enter the elevator without seeing its occupant?
9812How did you come to employ her?
9812How did you get that scar on your finger, Trent?
9812How did you happen to be around at that hour?
9812How did you know of my friendship with your cousin, Karl?
9812How do you know it is n''t completed and patent applied for?
9812How do you know she was not fully dressed? 9812 How do you know that, Captain?"
9812How do you know that?
9812How is Dad?
9812How is Kathleen?
9812How is Whitney?
9812How large a dose was given?
9812How long had Spencer been dead, Doctor, when you saw him?
9812How long has Julie Genet, your French maid, been in your employ?
9812How many of you are employed here?
9812How was she?
9812How, for instance?
9812How?
9812I asked, sir, because, sir, today the Cabinet officers lunch here, and...."They require your undivided attention?
9812I have already met the young girl sitting next him,he said,"and who is her dinner partner?"
9812I have n''t seen you before; where''s Jenkins?
9812I rather like him; he''s very agreeable, good- looking, and seems to have plenty of money...."Then you...."Favor his suit? 9812 I should almost imagine--""That I am engaged to her?"
9812I understood you were not married?
9812If he was not one of us, how came he to be killed?
9812If you doubt, why not ask Kathleen how and when she came to be in the elevator with Spencer''s dead body?
9812If you plan to do that, may I get your chauffeur to take me home?
9812In what condition did you find her?
9812In what way was it different?
9812In what way?
9812Indeed?
9812Indeed?
9812Instead, you and the police should make every effort to find Julie and protect her..."From what?
9812Is Heinrich here?
9812Is Mademoiselle here?
9812Is Mr. Whitney in his studio?
9812Is a man to be convicted of crime because it is physically possible for him to commit murder?
9812Is cyanide of potassium used in photography?
9812Is it not good news?
9812Is it not used for modeling in clay?
9812Is it really true that Sinclair Spencer left Kathleen a small fortune?
9812Is it that I speak for all?
9812Is it true that arc lights have been installed at the United States navy yards and arsenals, which make them as light as day on the darkest night?
9812Is n''t that according to Hoyle?
9812Is that all?
9812Is that another name for Captain Miller?
9812Is that so?
9812Is that so?
9812Is the purchaser to be the same for whom you are collecting horses and ammunition?
9812Is this a sà © ance?
9812Is this all the fighting strength of the United States navy?
9812Is this an indignation meeting or an assemblage of Sisters in Unity?
9812Is this your first visit to Washington, Captain?
9812Is your daughter''s welfare of secondary importance?
9812It is some years...."Years? 9812 Julie, are you quite mad?"
9812Julie, you met with no harm?
9812Julie?
9812Kathleen might reconsider-- eh?
9812Kathleen, are you mad?
9812Kathleen, can you ever forgive me?
9812Kathleen, did your father ever speak to you of a note for twenty thousand dollars?
9812Kathleen-- is she ill?
9812Kiametia, what do you mean to insinuate? 9812 Luncheon?"
9812Mademoiselle?
9812May I ask what that reason is?
9812May I have a word with you, sir?
9812Me, monsieur?
9812Miller? 9812 Miller?
9812Miller? 9812 Miss Whitney, did you not attempt to rub off with your handkerchief from Spencer''s blood- stained shirt, Captain von Mueller''s finger print?"
9812Monsieur, can you explain this telegram?
9812More visitors? 9812 Motives are not always on the surface; I advise you to investigate...""Yes--?"
9812Must you go out, Dad?
9812My car at the door?
9812My dear Baron, what can you expect?
9812My dear, why, why did you try to whitewash Julie?
9812Naturalized, or born in this country?
9812No?
9812Of what branch of the service?
9812Only-- only why did you lay such stress on the''man child''? 9812 Or shall I translate my request into German?"
9812Pardon, is not my information always reliable?
9812Quite certain, Vincent?
9812Quite sure you ca n''t find out about Miller?
9812Quite sure, Miss Gray?
9812Really?
9812Room for me on the back seat?
9812SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT?
9812Senator Foster is splendid-- and I had hoped--_why_ do you discourage his attentions?
9812Shall I go to the studio?
9812Shall I tell Kathleen?
9812She has undergone a great shock, finding a friend dead in an elevator...."Ah, did she?
9812Sinclair Spencer?
9812So you think I murdered Spencer?
9812So you think Julie''s testimony will implicate Miss Whitney still further in the crime?
9812Speaking of engagements,Whitney turned to the spinster,"what about you and Randall Foster, Kiametia?"
9812Suppose other officers follow his example, what will the army do in case of hostilities with-- eh-- Mexico?
9812Surely the bank will hold over the matter until Dad is in a condition to attend to his affairs?
9812Tell me frankly, Kathleen, did you accept me on Tuesday only because you thought me Karl?
9812Tell me, Julie, what has aroused your suspicion?
9812Tell me, Kathleen,broke in Miss Kiametia,"how did it happen that Sinclair Spencer had a flower from your bouquet in his hand?"
9812Tell me, Mitchell, what motive do you attribute to Miss Whitney for the killing of Sinclair Spencer?
9812Tell me, Mrs. Whitney, was Sinclair Spencer visiting you for any length of time?
9812Tell me, how have you succeeded with the passports?
9812Tell me,Kathleen lowered her voice,"when will the Grand Jury meet?"
9812The best of England has volunteered,agreed Sir Percival,"but what about the slackers?
9812The coroner?
9812The evidence is conclusive, is it not?
9812Then did you go direct to bed?
9812Then father''s inventions are quite safe?
9812Then how could you see Mr. Spencer so clearly?
9812Then how was the drug administered?
9812Then if the knife wound was not fatal, and there was no indication of intoxication, what caused Mr. Spencer''s death?
9812Then possibly you left the light burning by the bureau?
9812Then why postpone your wooing?
9812Then why--Kathleen sprang to her feet--"why were you masquerading as Karl von Mueller when I knew you in Germany?"
9812Then you were brought up together?
9812Then, will you give me their wages..."Wages?
9812To see you day after day-- Will nothing I say convince or move you? 9812 Unassisted?"
9812Under the same conditions?
9812Vincent said something about Captain Miller having called-- is the Captain here?
9812Waiting? 9812 Was Julie a well trained servant?"
9812Was Julie discontented with her place?
9812Was Julie on good terms with the other servants?
9812Was Mr. Spencer a great friend of yours?
9812Was Mr. Spencer a welcome guest in your house?

9812Was Mr. Spencer''s manner the same as usual when he called upon you Tuesday evening?
9812Was Mr. Whitney wearing his ordinary business suit?
9812Was Spencer in the elevator then?
9812Was Spencer wealthy?
9812Was he asleep?
9812Was he in the habit of spending the night in your house?
9812Was he rough, boisterous?
9812Was it her habit to get up before you did?
9812Was it his custom on previous visits, to walk about your house before the servants were up?
9812Was it the operative''s message to you about Hartzman which brought you here tonight?
9812Was it your habit to supply Julie with money?
9812Was the electric light turned on in Mr. Spencer''s room when you left him for the night?
9812Was the electric light turned on in the elevator when you entered it?
9812Was there any indication, Doctor, of resistance on the part of the deceased? 9812 Was there any indication, besides the tossing of the bedclothes, that the deceased had made preparations to sleep there?"
9812Was there anything about the room which especially claimed your attention?
9812We are going up to my boudoir, Kathleen; wo n''t you come, dear?
9812Well, perhaps-- is Mr. Whitney at home?
9812Well, what is it?
9812Well, why should n''t she?
9812Well?
9812Were his hands opened or clenched?
9812Were there indications of death from extreme alcoholism, then?
9812Were you aroused during the night by any noise?
9812Were you awakened during the night by any noise?
9812Were you aware that Mr. Spencer was also spending the night under your roof?
9812Were you educated in this city?
9812Were you entirely educated in South America?
9812Were you intimately acquainted?
9812Were you not reported engaged to him last fall?
9812Wh- what d- did you say?
9812Wh- what is it you ask?
9812What about this Spencer mystery, Baron? 9812 What are you hinting at?"
9812What can I do for you?
9812What can I do for you?
9812What can be keeping Miss Grey?
9812What can have happened?
9812What can you tell me about Captain Miller?
9812What conclusions did you draw at the inquest?
9812What detained you?
9812What did you think of the speech today?
9812What do you make out of it, sir?
9812What do you mean?
9812What do you think of the verdict?
9812What does the cook say about Julie''s disappearance?
9812What had that most impertinent American girl you met in Germany to do with your change of front toward Molly?
9812What have I to do with his will?
9812What have I to do with his will?
9812What have you to report? 9812 What is it, John?"
9812What is it?
9812What is missing?
9812What is that in your lap?
9812What is that?
9812What is the matter with Kathleen tonight? 9812 What is the matter with Kathleen''s welfare?
9812What is the matter with Miss Kathleen?
9812What is your pound of flesh?
9812What leads you to think that?
9812What motive inspired Spencer to feign drunkenness,he asked,"and when everyone was asleep, to steal over this house like a thief in the night?"
9812What night?
9812What possessed her to go to the sub- cellar?
9812What precautions would you suggest?
9812What price then all these suspected plots and futile intrigues?
9812What prompted Spencer to desire to steal my inventions?
9812What should we do without hope in this world? 9812 What took you downstairs at so early an hour yesterday morning?"
9812What was Sinclair Spencer doing in that elevator?
9812What was your object in trying to rub out a blood stain on the front of Mr. Spencer''s white shirt, Miss Whitney, while you were in the elevator?
9812What will become of Baron von Fincke?
9812What--Miller looked anxiously at the chauffeur--"what brought on the stroke?
9812What''s this-- murder?
9812What''s this? 9812 What''s your little game, Spencer?"
9812What''s your opinion of Miller?
9812What?
9812What?
9812When did you discover Sinclair Spencer in the elevator, Kathleen?
9812When did you first hear of Mr. Spencer''s death?
9812When did you last see Julie, your mother''s maid?
9812When did you last see Julie?

9812When did you leave your studio?
9812When did you make your debut in Washington society?
9812When did you see him last?
9812When was he last here?
9812When will it be convenient, sir, for you to take me into your studio?
9812When-- ah, when?
9812When?
9812Where are you going, Mitchell?
9812Where are you going?
9812Where did you find this note?
9812Where did you get that piece of information?
9812Where did you go after leaving Mr. Spencer in his bedroom?
9812Where have you been since dinner, Dad? 9812 Where have you been?"
9812Where is he?
9812Where is he?
9812Where is the jury?
9812Where were you yesterday afternoon, Randall?
9812Where will they be?
9812Where, pray, did you pick him up?
9812Which way are you going?
9812While in his room Tuesday night did you observe his clothes on a chair or table? 9812 Who cares?"
9812Who fired that revolver?
9812Who found Whitney in his studio this morning?
9812Who is lurking there?
9812Who is the holder of the note?
9812Who is the man glaring at us from the end of the table?
9812Who is this fellow, Charles Miller?
9812Who murdered him?
9812Who sent you the flowers, Kathleen?
9812Whose place did I fill?
9812Why did n''t Kathleen remain a schoolgirl?
9812Why did n''t you turn on the electric lights?
9812Why did you not deliver them to me last night?
9812Why did you select that room? 9812 Why discuss the matter further?"
9812Why dissemble any longer? 9812 Why do n''t you chaps arrest such speeders?"
9812Why do you not wear my ring, Kathleen?
9812Why does Kathleen avoid me?
9812Why have you not declared yourself before?
9812Why is Mrs. Whitney wearing these finger tips?
9812Why not leave well enough alone?
9812Why not try and find Julie, the French maid?
9812Why should I sign any such papers?
9812Why should Kathleen betray such emotion? 9812 Why should the maid play watchdog?"
9812Why stay here?
9812Why the devil should I take you through my studio?
9812Why, sir, he''s dead...."Whitney?
9812Why, what happened?
9812Why, why did n''t she speak, and let me know who she was?
9812Why?
9812Will he escape?
9812Will he recover?
9812Will he, mademoiselle? 9812 Will mademoiselle attend the meeting tonight?"
9812Will the President review the fleet?
9812Will you do something for me?
9812Will you drive, sir?
9812Will you find out from them before I go?
9812Will you kindly inform us who you are?
9812Will you never realize that Kathleen is exceptionally pretty, with the gift of fascination?
9812Will you smoke?
9812Will you tell the police of your suspicions concerning Henry?
9812Winslow, I''ve asked the servants, and they tell me she has disappeared...."She? 9812 With whom?"
9812Wo n''t you sit down?
9812Wo n''t you wait for Captain Miller?
9812Would it not be a friendly act to place Whitney in a position to coin money?
9812Yes, had n''t you better send for him?
9812Yes, miniature painting--"And modeling?
9812Yes?
9812You answered the bell at four in the morning?
9812You are not engaged to him?
9812You are quite certain the Baron said he would return on the night train?
9812You are sure he wore nothing over it?
9812You are willing to shield Mademoiselle Kathleen at all costs?
9812You believe that he was interested in my inventions?
9812You called me?
9812You do not, then, wish to make a confidant of the police?
9812You examined the body in the elevator?
9812You have not lost your--"Courage?
9812You hint at conspiracy?
9812You made a thorough examination of Miss Whitney''s room?
9812You made the autopsy upon Mr. Sinclair Spencer?
9812You make this proposal, and at this time?
9812You mean his camera for use in aeroplanes?
9812You mean-- architecturally?
9812You still have yours?
9812You take it for granted that Spencer was dead at that time?
9812You think she is in danger?
9812You think so?
9812You understand the English tongue?
9812You use azurea perfume, do you not?
9812You-- you refuse?
9812You?
9812Your full name?
9812Your name--?
9812_ Oui, monsieur._"And you think you can best accomplish that result by avoiding the police?
9812_ You?_Her tone stung him to the quick.
9812_ You_ ask me that?
9812_ You_?
9812A deathbed repentance?
9812After all, Winslow,"unable to restrain the dig,"you are responsible for Sinclair Spencer''s intimate footing in this house....""Intimate footing?
9812Again I ask, what was your object in attempting to remove the blood stain?"
9812All ready?
9812Am I outside the pale of affection?"
9812Are they brought into the world to be tools of militarism?
9812Are you willing to shield her at all costs?"
9812Before the swing door closed tightly, they heard her say:"Oh, Kiametia...""What is the reason the servants are so anxious to decamp?"
9812But tell me, do you know nothing about the man''s family-- his character?"
9812But what--?"
9812But, monsieur, why did you advise that I stay away from mademoiselle, and take me to that dreadful house?"
9812By the way, Kiametia, what kept you so long upstairs when Mitchell asked you to find out if Miller was with Miss Kathleen?"
9812CHAPTER IV"SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCE BE FORGOT?"
9812Can I do anything for you?"
9812Can you find any candles on the mantel, sir?"
9812Can you translate it for me, mademoiselle?"
9812Can"--clearing his throat--"can Spencer be moved?"
9812Careful of that step,"and as the morgue master appeared, he asked,"Is Miss Kiametia Grey here?"
9812Could he find his way about it alone in the dark?"
9812Could she keep up the farce much longer?
9812Could she place faith in his sincerity?
9812Did not the coroner''s jury convict me?"
9812Did you get a copy in Edmonston''s?"
9812Do I illtreat her?
9812Do I make her spend hours here helping me in this"--sarcastically--"sweatshop?
9812Do you think it has any hope of success?"
9812Do you think that tomorrow you can sign some papers in reference to Sinclair Spencer''s will?"
9812Does Dr. McLane hold out any hope?"
9812Does not his death come at a most unfortunate moment?"
9812Drawers opened, or anything?"
9812From whom could she get a newspaper?
9812Gentlemen, is it your wish that he be intrusted with the delicate mission of which we have just been speaking?"
9812Got potted yourself, did n''t you?"
9812Had Italy cast her lot with the Allies?
9812Had Kathleen spoken to them of his proposal of marriage that morning and her refusal?
9812Had Mrs. Whitney''s smilingly collected manner and dignified reserve cloaked a cold, calculating, and treacherous nature?
9812Had grief for them and anxiety for her beloved country developed hallucinations?
9812Had the Allies attempted the drive hinted at during the winter months?
9812Had the maid taken leave of her senses?
9812Had they, by chance, discharged him?
9812Has he been disrespectful?"
9812Have a seat, Captain?"
9812Have you everything you want, Kathleen?"
9812Have you forgotten our relationship in Germany?"
9812Have you nothing to report of the pernicious activities of the United States Government?"
9812He entered and I waited long, oh, so long, when out came Henry and Captain Miller...""Well?"
9812He paused and asked abruptly,"Has Kathleen seen Charles Miller?"
9812He waited until his order had been followed, then demanded impetuously:"How is Miss Kathleen?"
9812Hello, what is that on your index finger-- a half- moon?"
9812Henry, did Vincent telephone for the doctor?"
9812How came Julie to be back in the house?
9812How came Miller to send her flowers which he knew were connected with that past he so ardently wished forgotten?
9812How dared he thrust his presence upon her?
9812How would she take the news he was imparting-- how deep was her affection for the dead spy?
9812I can not manage this affair alone, I need assistance-- and--you are a frequent caller at the Whitney house....""Well, what then?"
9812I hope that you are not a peace- at- any- price American?"
9812I thought she was as tough as a horse?"
9812I will gratify your every wish"--Kathleen shook her head, and he added heatedly,"What is there about me you do n''t like?"
9812I''m reading from the left hand, let me see the other....""Is n''t the one nearest the heart the surest guide?"
9812Is she refused money?
9812Is there some place I can wait downstairs?"
9812It''s a scar, is n''t it?"
9812Just a moment, sir,"as Miller started to cross the deserted dining- room,"Shall I reserve the table for you for luncheon, sir?"
9812Kathleen Whitney, her kind friend rather than employer, was convicted-- then her absence had not benefited her?
9812Keep me company?
9812Kiametia?
9812Listen, is n''t that a shot?"
9812Mademoiselle, what have these beasts done to you?"
9812May I ask how you know who I am?"
9812Miss Kiametia nodded affirmatively, and he asked;"Has Kathleen spoken to you of seeing him since Spencer''s death?"
9812No?"
9812Not waiting for a reply he prepared to leave, and a covert sneer crossed his lips as he asked,"Found anything criminal?"
9812Now, Minna, what did you ask me a few minutes ago?"
9812Or was he up to some particular deviltry?
9812Quickly he forestalled the question he saw coming,"And your plan of campaign, Hartzmann, what of it?"
9812Shall I send Julie to you?"
9812She waited expectantly for her husband''s comment, but getting no reply, she burst out,"What was he doing there-- how came he to be there?"
9812She was faithful to Germany...""Do you mean to insinuate that Minna Whitney was a German spy?"
9812She, his accomplice?
9812Should she not take them to Miss Kiametia?
9812Should she seek Mrs. Robinson in the kitchen?
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Spencer?"
9812Suppose Henry, for instance, should take it into his head to examine them?
9812Surely, Mr. Spencer, you can not have expected any other answer-- cannot have deluded yourself into thinking that I could possibly accept you?
9812Surely, surely they were past the last of the Allies''trenches?
9812Tell me, Dad"--Kathleen regarded Whitney intently--"how is it that I am not in jail?
9812Tell me, boy,"his voice softening,"how is it with you and Molly?"
9812Tell me, mademoiselle, what is Roebling''s?"
9812The chauffeur stepped closer to his side and while assisting him, whispered:"Did you get the invention?"
9812The chauffeur?"
9812Then madame engages Henry....""Henry?
9812Therefore, why harbor a doubt of her innocence?"
9812To what had he brought her?
9812Was Julie''s mind unbalanced?
9812Was it deliberate murder or suicide?
9812Was there anything else you wished to see me about?
9812Were the Sisters in Unity as strenuous as ever?"
9812What about the coal strikes-- the trouble in our munition factories?
9812What can have brought on this attack of hysterics, Kiametia?"
9812What did that mean?
9812What do you do but give up your time to the Sisters in Unity?
9812What for?"
