3049What did she wear?''
3049What do you mean by that?''
3049What items have ye heard, Baxby?''
3049What mischief will you do?
3049What?
3049When did you come back?''
3049When have ye seen him?''
3049Where is Baxby?
3049Who shall wonder that his mind luxuriated in dreams of a sweet possibility now laid open for the first time these many years?
3049Why are you so late?''
3049Why didst not wait for me, Penelope, or send to me a more overt letter?
3049Why does he look so sadly at me?''
3049Why had Dornell interfered?

3049Will you sup now?
3049Willowes?''
3049Would she like the title to be Ivell?
3049Would you compel me to use physical force to reclaim you?''
3049Yet, things having come to this pass, what could she do?
3049You do n''t mean it-- that I must lose my pretty darling-- the only one I have?''
3049You see, my lady, you cared little for me when I was weak and helpless; why should I come to you now I am strong?
3049You stay here to- night, gentlemen, I presume?
3049You will have some supper?''
3049You will not dislike me-- will you?''
3049asks the lady;''one in which his honour is involved-- which is known to me alone, but should be known to you?''
3049or,"I want to marry you: will you have me-- now or never?"
3049you have discovered that too?''
2662''Twas rather a deep cut seemingly?
2662After school- hours this week? 2662 All the choir?"
2662And have you anything else you want to explain to me, Dewy?
2662And how did they sound?
2662And that when she sat for her certificate as Government teacher, she had the highest of the first class?
2662And the blue one only on Sunday?
2662And the saucer, if I like the cup?
2662And then he looked at me, and at last he said,''Are you in love with Dick Dewy?'' 2662 And we wo n''t sit down in his house;''twould be looking too familiar when only just reconciled?"
2662And what did mother say to you when you asked her?
2662And what was she like? 2662 And what''s think now, Dick?"
2662And when do you think you''ll have considered, father, and he may marry me?
2662And who''s that young man?
2662And you believed it?
2662And you''ll be my own wife?
2662And you''ll not call me Mr. Dewy any more?
2662And-- Dick too?
2662Apart from mine?
2662Are those all of them, father?
2662Better try over number seventy- eight before we start, I suppose?
2662But hers is n''t so soft, is it? 2662 But how?"
2662But is there anything in it?
2662But perhaps,she said, with assumed indifference,"it was only because no religion was going on just then?"
2662But surely you know?
2662But what d''ye think she really did mean?
2662By the way, Fancy, do you know why our quire is to be dismissed?
2662By the way,he continued in a fresher voice, and looking up,"that young crater, the schoolmis''ess, must be sung to to- night wi''the rest?
2662Close? 2662 Come to that, is it?
2662Coming along the road to- day then, I suppose?
2662D''ye know where?
2662D''ye know who I be- e- e- e- e- e?
2662Did Fred Shiner send the cask o''drink, Fancy?
2662Did n''t Dick and Fancy sound well when they were called home in church last Sunday?
2662Did ye hear that, souls?
2662Did you encourage him?
2662Do ye, Leaf?
2662Do you know how it came to be his wish?
2662Fancy, I have come to ask you if you will be my wife?
2662Fancy, why ca n''t you answer?
2662Fancy, you did n''t know me for a moment in my funeral clothes, did you?
2662Farmer Ledlow''s first?
2662Father here?
2662Father not in the humour for''t, hey?
2662Has she ever done more to thee?
2662Have the craters stung ye?
2662Have what?
2662Have ye carried up any dinner to her?
2662He do n''t want to go much; do ye, Thomas Leaf?
2662He looked at me, and I looked at him, and he said,''Will you let me show you how to catch bullfinches down here by the stream?'' 2662 How long is that?"
2662How long will you be putting on your bonnet, Fancy?
2662How long will you be?
2662How much?
2662How then?
2662How would that kind of love be taken?
2662How''s that?
2662Hurt who?
2662I hardly think Leaf had better go wi''us?
2662I may at any rate call you Fancy? 2662 I suppose you go straight on and up town?"
2662I wish you''d tell me how to put him in the humour for it?
2662Idd it cold inthide te hole?
2662Is all quite safe again?
2662Is it dangerous on the lip?
2662Is that all? 2662 Is that thee, young Dick Dewy?"
2662Is your grandson Dick in''ithin, William?
2662Neighbours, there''s time enough to drink a sight of drink now afore bedtime?
2662Never Geoffrey''s daughter Fancy?
2662Not any more than I am?
2662Not so much?
2662Now keep step again, will ye?
2662Now that''s a treat for you, is n''t it?
2662Now to Farmer Shiner''s, and then replenish our insides, father?
2662Now to my mind that woman is very romantical on the matter o''children?
2662Now, Fancy, will you be my wife?
2662O Dick,she sobbed out,"where have you been away from me?
2662O no; the hat is well enough; but it makes you look rather too-- you wo n''t mind me saying it, dear?
2662O, I know what you mean-- that the vicar will never let me wear muslin?
2662O, I wish!--How did you say she wore her hair?
2662O, how''s that?
2662O-- that you, Master Dewy?
2662Or that I care the least morsel of a bit for him?
2662Perhaps she''s jist come from some musical city, and sneers at our doings?
2662Really, you do n''t know? 2662 Really?
2662Remember the words of the prophet Jeremiah:''Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?''
2662Shall anything saucier be found than united''ooman?
2662Strange, is n''t it, for her to be here Christmas night, Master Penny?
2662Suppose we must let en come? 2662 Th''st hauled her back, I suppose?"
2662Then why not stop for fellow- craters-- going to thy own father''s house too, as we be, and knowen us so well?
2662Then why not wear the gray one on Sunday as well? 2662 They have, have n''t they, Geoffrey?"
2662They seemed to be rather distant in manner last Sunday, I thought?
2662Till that time will ye lend me your hand?
2662Twice, I think you said?
2662Very much?
2662Very strange woman, is n''t she?
2662We have some mixed indoors; would you kindly run and get it for me?
2662We made a mistake I suppose then, sir? 2662 We''ve come to see''ee, sir, man and man, and no offence, I hope?"
2662Well, but how?
2662Well, how?
2662Well, what do you say, Missie?
2662Well, what is it?
2662Well, whoever would have thought such a thing?
2662Well, why should n''t she?
2662Well, why should n''t the man hang up her bird- cage? 2662 Well-- ay: what did she say?
2662What about he? 2662 What about her face?"
2662What are you in trouble about? 2662 What did I say?"
2662What did he say?
2662What have you heard?
2662What have you seen?
2662What in the name o''righteousness can have happened?
2662What might that ha''been?
2662What things can you have to think o''so mortal much?
2662What was his age when''a died?
2662What''s she doing now, Geoffrey?
2662What''s that?
2662What''s the matter, dear?
2662What''s the matter?
2662What''s the objection to the hat? 2662 What?
2662What?
2662What?
2662Whatever is father a- biding out in fuel- house so long for?
2662Whatever will the vicar say, Fancy?
2662Where be the boys?
2662Where is the path?
2662Where''s Dick?
2662Where''s my da''ter?
2662Which do you mean by that?
2662Which is head man?
2662Who was it?
2662Who''s to say she did n''t?
2662Why about-- between that young lady and me?
2662Why are you so silent?
2662Why ca n''t you exactly answer?
2662Why did you not tell me-- why did n''t you? 2662 Why do n''t your stap- mother come down, Fancy?"
2662Why go away?
2662Why n- o- o- o- o- ot?
2662Why not wear what you''ve got on?
2662Why not? 2662 Why not?
2662Why, Dick, is that thee? 2662 Why, Fancy?"
2662Why, father of me?
2662Why, we did when we were married, did n''t we, Ann?
2662Why, what? 2662 Why?"
2662Will it hurt him, poor thing?
2662Will you fetch down a bit of raw- mil''cheese from pantry- shelf?
2662Will you pass me some bread?
2662Wonder where your grandfather James is?
2662You see, Mr. Mayble, we''ve got-- do I keep you inconvenient long, sir?
2662You think I''ve been cruel to thee in saying that that penniless Dick o''thine sha''n''t marry thee, I suppose?
2662You wo n''t wear that old waistcoat, will you, Dick?
2662''Ann,''I said to her when I was oiling my working- day boots wi''my head hanging down,''Woot hae me?''
2662''D''ye do?''
2662--And only having a cup by itself?
2662A hat or a bonnet, which shall it be?
2662And how many will that make in all, four or five?"
2662And to save time I wo n''t wait till you have done, if you have no objection?"
2662And what came o''t?
2662And you know en very well too, do n''t ye, Fancy?"
2662And, Fancy, you do care for me?"
2662And, Mr. Mayble, I hope you''ll excuse my common way?"
2662And, Mr. Mayble, you be not offended?
2662At sight of him had the pink of her cheeks increased, lessened, or did it continue to cover its normal area of ground?
2662Because you only care how you look to me, do you, dear?
2662Brownjohn?"
2662But it seems-- it do seem there must have been more than that to set you up in such a dreadful taking?"
2662But no:''How d''ye do, Reuben?''
2662But we understood the young woman did n''t want to play particularly?"
2662But why disturb what is ordained, Richard and Reuben, and the company zhinerally?
2662But wo n''t ye step inside?
2662But you do love me a little, do n''t you?"

2662Ha''n''t I, Ann?"
2662Have ye come for anything else?"
2662He lowered his voice to a mysterious tone:"Neighbours, have ye noticed any sign of a scornful woman in his head, or suchlike?"
2662He went on, and what did he do?
2662Hey-- what did you say, my sonnies?"
2662Hey?"
2662How is it he''s left you?"
2662How is it your stap- mother is n''t here?"
2662How many times did you say he danced with her?"
2662I did n''t say in what way your thinking of me affected the question-- perhaps inversely, do n''t you see?
2662I hope you see our desire is reason?"
2662I just said, Did she care about me?"
2662I suppose th''st want to come wi''us?"
2662I''ve been thinking we must be almost the last left in the county of the old string players?
2662If the story- tellers could ha''got decency and good morals from true stories, who''d ha''troubled to invent parables?"
2662Is n''t that nature and reason for gentle and simple?
2662No one said"Know what?"
2662Now do ye think after this that you be good enough for her?"
2662Now is there anything else we want, Mr Dewy?"
2662Now, I hold that that was coming it very close, Reuben?"
2662Now, what I want to know is, what was the meaning of that speech?"
2662Or were you behind the pier?"
2662She dived into the hamper again, and at the end of two or three minutes looked up and said,"I suppose you do n''t mind if I ca n''t find a spoon?"
2662She was thinking-- of her lover Dick Dewy?
2662She''s never been stuffing into thy innocent heart that he''s in hove with her?
2662Shiner?"
2662That sounds very well?
2662That you''ll clearly understand, Dewy?"
2662There was a terrible whispering piece of work in the congregation, was n''t there, neighbour Penny?"
2662There''s your brother Bob just as bad-- as fat as a porpoise-- wi''his low, mean,''How''st do, Ann?''
2662They do move his soul; do n''t''em, father?"
2662To reproach Dick?
2662Turk seize it all, what''s that got to do wi''it?
2662Was she a coquette?
2662We all know one another very well, do n''t we, neighbours?"
2662We always use kettle- holders; did n''t you learn housewifery as far as that, Mr. Dewy?
2662We shall form a very striking object walking along in rotation, good- now, neighbours?"
2662Well, she''s ready, I do n''t doubt?"
2662What b''st doing here?"
2662What have I done?"
2662Whatever could mother be thinking about?
2662Where have you lived all your life?"
2662Which do I look best in?"
2662Which is head man?"
2662Who d''ye think''s the bitter weed in our being turned out?
2662Who''s that?"
2662Whoever thinks of a towel till the hands are wet?"
2662Why not wear the one you wore at our party?"
2662Why, I ask, as far as that do go?"
2662Why, sonnies, a man''s not himself till he is fortified wi''a bit and a drop?
2662Why, what''s possessing your little soul?
2662Why, wherever could you have got it?"
2662Will ye come with me?"
2662Will ye just ask Dick if he''ll do me the kindness to step over to Yalbury to- morrow with my da''ter Fancy, if she''s well enough?
2662Will you, Fancy, marry me?"
2662Would you mind lifting the kettle off, that it may not boil dry?"
2662You do n''t think for a moment that I did, surely, do you?"
2662You knowed his daughter was in training?"
2662You live with your mother, I think, Leaf?"
2662You lively young mortals, how did you get inside there?
2662You used to know Johnson the dairyman, William?"
2662You''ve heard about me and-- Miss Day?"
2662cheese you said, Fancy?"
2662how shall I go through it?"
2662is her hair as soft and long as this?"
2662or a saucer by itself?"
2662what''s that?"
2662whatever dost thou do here?"
3047And is this the wretched caitiff?
3047Be you willing, Hannah? 3047 But is n''t it almost time for them to turn and sweep round to the shore, as the other boating folk have done?
3047But you seem as if you was staying at your aunt''s?
3047Ca n''t it be mended?
3047Do n''t ye think I''d better trot her round the downs for an hour, sir?
3047Do n''t you see I have my bonnet and jacket on? 3047 Have you been to the church to see what happened to them, or inquired in the village?"
3047I am engaged to be married to him, and have n''t I a right to be here? 3047 I suppose the business of granting the new deed can be done just the same?"
3047Old Midsummer yesterday was it? 3047 Settled it?
3047This is nice, is n''t it, Tony?
3047Two French generals--''"French?"
3047What''s the matter?
3047You do n''t suppose I could refuse''ee?
3047You have ready by you the merely nominal sum you''ll have to pay for the admittance, of course?
3047''"All in?"
3047''"And you''ve never seen anything in me to complain of, have ye, Tony?
3047''"And-- can you say I''m not pretty, Tony?
3047''"But why did n''t you shout, good souls?"
3047''"D''ye hear the villain?"
3047''"Did ye?"
3047''"Done?
3047''"Ha, ha, clerk-- you here?"
3047''"Hey?
3047''"How pretty they look moving on, do n''t they?"
3047''"I suppose you mean to?"
3047''"James,"says Steve,"what were you thinking of when you were dancing with my Olive?"
3047''"James-- do you think they care for one another still?"
3047''"Might I hold his hand?"
3047''"Milly?
3047''"Oh-- you''ll trot her yerself?
3047''"Prettier than she?"
3047''"Shall we walk by the edge of the water,"said she,"to see if we can discover them?"
3047''"She?
3047''"Suppose, sir, that you see him sign, and he do n''t see you looking at him?
3047''"Surely I heard a sort of little screaming squeak under those sacks?
3047''"Take her leavings?
3047''"Then would ye creep under the empty sacks just here in the front of the waggon, and hide there out of sight till we''ve passed the house?
3047''"Tony,"she says, in a sort of tender chide,"why did ye desert me for that other one?
3047''"Well, will you, Unity dear, be mine?"
3047''"Well-- how do her face look?"
3047''"What be they looking at?"
3047''"What did ye see?"
3047''"What did you see?"
3047''"What is it, my boy?"
3047''"What is it-- what is it, Uncle Job?"
3047''"What, you wo n''t have me, Hannah?"
3047''"What,"says the pa''son, with a great breath of relief,"you have n''t been here ever since?"
3047''"What?
3047''"What?"
3047''"What?"
3047''"What?"
3047''"Where?"
3047''"Who?"
3047''"Would you mind taking the reins a moment, Hannah,"he said, much relieved,"while I go and find out what father wants?"
3047''A kind of house- of- correction, apparently?''
3047''Ah-- but shall I?
3047''Ah-- who''s that?''
3047''Alive or dead?''
3047''All?
3047''And are they living in Longpuddle still?''
3047''And have the world used''ee well, sir-- or rather John, knowing''ee as a child?
3047''And is it_ very_ dangerous at sea; now, too, there are rumours of war?''
3047''And suppose they come and do n''t find me at home?
3047''And the mother-- was she a decent, worthy young woman?''
3047''And what might that have been?''
3047''And why did he seek you out-- and why were you obliged to marry him?''
3047''And why do n''t you do it, then, Sam?''
3047''And why?''
3047''And will you stay on now at the Vicarage, just the same?''
3047''And you''ll do it as well as ever you can, please?
3047''And-- is this_ all_?''
3047''Anna,''he said, staring;''what''s this?''
3047''Are they still going on the same as of old?''
3047''As soon as Tony came up to her she said,"My dear Tony, will you give me a lift home?"
3047''But about paying him?''
3047''But he did n''t tell you his?''
3047''But how get there?''
3047''But how?''
3047''But think, for the boys''and my sake, if not for your own, what are we to do to get richer?''
3047''But where is the money to come from, Joshua?''
3047''But why do you think so?''
3047''But you may be disgraced at being after time?''
3047''Can it have anything to do with his not writing to me?''
3047''Did Rosa see him?''
3047''Did she dictate every word you ever wrote to me?''
3047''Did the child live?''
3047''Did you get the books I sent?''
3047''Did you know I lived here?''
3047''Did you see Anna safely tied up?
3047''Do I guess rightly?''
3047''Do you think it would?''
3047''Do you want to go, Shadrach?''
3047''Does she know-- anything about me?''
3047''Eh?
3047''Emily, you do n''t know me?''
3047''Everything will be just as usual, I imagine?''
3047''First, who is this?''
3047''For some paper?''
3047''Has anybody come?''
3047''Has n''t Anna come in?''
3047''Have you got her present safe?''
3047''Have you heard from Rosa lately?''
3047''How about the York Hussars?''
3047''How about your own studies?''
3047''How did he get here-- so many miles?''
3047''How did he guess that Rosa was likely to marry?
3047''How did they get to know each other, I wonder?''
3047''How?''
3047''I just put it to ye, neighbours, can any man keep time with such hindrances?
3047''I told''ee, dear, I''d do it; and have I done it or no?''
3047''I wonder where that young man is with the horse and trap?''
3047''I wonder-- are you sure-- Joanna is going to break off with you?
3047''If what?''
3047''If you were to do it, perhaps he would not marry me; and what should I do then?
3047''In fact, very little?''
3047''Is everybody here?''
3047''It is mine?''
3047''More?''
3047''No, no, Emily; why do ye get behind there?
3047''Nor anybody?''
3047''Not-- how-- I sent him more money on his promising to stay in Canada?''
3047''Now I wonder where that there man is?''
3047''Now be we all here?''
3047''Now, who can that be?''
3047''Now-- you''ll do it for me, wo n''t you, dear mistress?''
3047''O, have they?''
3047''Oh?
3047''Oh?
3047''Perhaps you wrote many of the letters when you were alone, without communication with her?''
3047''Phyllis''s?
3047''Shall I go and look for her, m''m?''
3047''Shall we-- say anything about this accident?''
3047''Somebody else?''
3047''Somewhere handy, I suppose?
3047''Stop, stop, what are you thinking of?''
3047''Then why did you let them go?
3047''Want some bread and butter, do''ee?''
3047''Well, what do you want me to do?''
3047''Well, what sort of a place is this you are living in?''
3047''Well-- do you want to marry?''
3047''Well?''
3047''Well?''
3047''What are you doing, dear Charles?''
3047''What can make ye afraid?''
3047''What do you mean?''
3047''What have you done with him?''
3047''What is there so startling in his inquiry then?''
3047''What''s in it?''
3047''What''s the matter, my little maid?''
3047''What''s the use?
3047''What, and ruin her-- kill her?
3047''What?''
3047''When was that?''
3047''Where is he, and where-- where''s my little girl?''
3047''Who is he?''
3047''Who is this-- somebody you know?''
3047''Who may them two maids be?''
3047''Why are you sitting here in the dark?''
3047''Why did it give you pleasure?''
3047''Why did they make the change, then?''
3047''Why did you come and disturb my life a second time?''
3047''Why did you pester me with your conscience, till I was driven to accept you to get rid of your importunity?
3047''Why do you laugh, dear?''
3047''Why may n''t I say to Sam that I''ll marry him?
3047''Why should n''t it?''
3047''Why, child?''
3047''Why, yes, ca n''t you see it is?''
3047''Why?''
3047''Why?''
3047''Will you buy your discharge?''
3047''Wo n''t you at least put your name yourself?''
3047''Would it take long to earn?''
3047''Yet I warrant you told him your name and every thing about yourself?''
3047''You are not happy, Mrs. Twycott, I''m afraid?''
3047''You are quite free, Leonora-- I mean as to marriage?
3047''You bain''t one of these parts, sir?''
3047''You can manage to write that by this time?''
3047''You do n''t think of it seriously?''
3047''You forgive me?''
3047''You''ll forgive me, dear Ned?''
3047''Your husband-- who should it be?''
3047''Your own child?''
3047''Yours?''
3047''_ You_ were her scribe through all this?''
3047*****''And, of course, my old acquaintance, the annuitant, Mrs. Winter, who always seemed to have something on her mind, is dead and gone?''
3047*****''Was that the same Andrey who went to the squire''s house as one of the Christmas fiddlers?''
3047; and how be a bishop without that kind of appendage?
3047A terrible scrape''twas too-- wasn''t it, John?
3047Afeard?
3047And he was a stranger till to- night?''
3047And if not, could she defy him?
3047And you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, for not telling you before?''
3047And-- and-- what a fine day it is, is n''t it, Hannah, for this time of year?
3047Anna slowly produced the letter, saying:''Then will you read it to me, ma''am?''
3047As evening drew on they sat on one of the public seats upon the Esplanade, and listened to the band; and then they said"What shall we do next?"
3047As he''s such an old, shrinking, shivering man, it would be a great considerateness on your part if that would do?"
3047As soon as it stopped Mrs. Harnham advanced and said severely,''Anna, how can you be such a wild girl?
3047Bain''t we full a''ready?
3047Be you going to market next Saturday?
3047But her ambition checked her instincts now, and she said:''Do you think success really lies that way?''
3047But how can I be a witness without his seeing me?"
3047But what is the use of remedies now?''
3047But what of those things?
3047But what would the girls say?"
3047But would he ever tolerate the idea?
3047By the bye, who was that spindle- legged, shoe- buckled parson feller we met by now?
3047Cope ask her to be his wife after this discovery of her irregular birth?
3047Could he not come that day-- it must be so dull for him the first Sunday evening in country lodgings?
3047Day?''
3047Did n''t we, Selinar?''
3047Did n''t you know I''d married?
3047Did she ever marry?''
3047Disgrace her children, and pull down the whole auspicious house of Fellmer about our ears?
3047Do n''t you, now?''
3047Do you think human hearts are iron- cased safes, that you suppose we can keep this secret for ever?''
3047Does she look as if anything premature had took place?"
3047During the evening he said to her casually:''Is your step- father a cousin of your mother, dear Frances?''
3047First, even supposing I regain my stripes, would your father allow you to marry a non- commissioned officer in the York Hussars?''
3047Flaxton?''
3047For how can we live, and relinquish our high aim, and bring down our dear sister Rosa to the level of a gipsy''s step- daughter?''
3047Ha''n''t I fed her and teached her?
3047Ha''n''t I nussed her?
3047Ha''n''t I played wi''her?
3047He hoped his stepfather would be a gentleman?
3047Hey, Milly?"
3047How can I?''
3047How can you be so stupid, Tony?"
3047How could I do otherwise than try to save such a simple girl from misery?
3047How is that?"
3047How is your aunt now?"
3047How should she?
3047How was it?
3047I am given to understand that it is a proper thing to do, if you have no objection?''
3047I ask ye to have spirit enough to refuse him, if yer virtue is left to''ee and you run no risk?"
3047I thought he was a careless sort of man in matters of religion?"
3047I wonder what Olive means by steering away straight to the horizon like that?
3047I, too, with my petty living-- what am I after all?
3047In these rich new countries that we hear of so much, you''ve got rich with the rest?''
3047In what is she better than I?
3047Is it from that young man?''
3047Is that where the gennleman lives?''
3047Is the cart here?''
3047Joshua remarked coldly that it was the principal of his college, guardedly inquiring,''Did you tell him whom you were come to see?''
3047Lackland?''
3047Might he not run up to town to see her?
3047Millborne?''
3047Next day, after a silence, she asked a question:''If they were to go with you it would make a great deal of difference, I suppose, to the profit?''
3047No doubt we might get to love each other as warmly as we did in old times?''
3047No; I came here against my will; why should I not escape?
3047Not know Boney?
3047Now tell the truth to me?"
3047Now which would you marry, father, if you was in my place?"
3047Now you could stand here and see him sign, could n''t you, sir, as he''s such an invalid?"
3047Now, Milly, would you do me a favour-- my coming wife, as I may say?"
3047O, are you sure?
3047Observing their forms he shouted,''I''m going to Narrobourne; who may you be?''
3047Perhaps Mr. Flaxton knows, being in the same line of life?''
3047Perhaps you wo n''t mind standing treat for those who can be seen there?''
3047Phippard?''
3047She had no doubt learned that he was not married, but suppose his affections had since been fixed on another?
3047She started aside, and said that she must go to the station to catch the return train: could a cab be called immediately?
3047She writes very prettily, does n''t she, thanks to these elementary schools?''
3047So that it was done in your bare presence it would be sufficient, would it not?
3047Surely you do n''t want me to walk, now I''ve come all this way?"
3047The boy thought the idea a very reasonable one, and asked if she had chosen anybody?
3047The grand query with us was, Where would my gentleman land?
3047Think how long we''ve known each other-- ever since we were children almost-- now have n''t we, Tony?"
3047To ride back with me, did you say, dear Milly?"
3047Was all well?
3047Was it possible they could have landed further down the Esplanade?
3047Well, do as you will; I have no authority over you, so why should you consult me?
3047Well, do you feel better now, my little woman?''
3047Well, now, to be quite honest, dear Tony, do you like her better than me?
3047Well-- how''s Car''line now?
3047What can I do else?
3047What can you do otherwise?
3047What could have induced you to come on such an errand now?
3047What has he been promising you?
3047What is your way?''
3047What of them?''
3047What right have you, I should like to know?
3047What should he do if Sophy were gone?
3047What time do you get up?''
3047What was I thinking of?"
3047What woman would not be pleased with such a handsome peace- offering?''
3047What''s the matter?''
3047What''s the use of staying up there?
3047What''s this?"
3047When did these market- gardeners, who travelled up to town so regularly at one or two in the morning, come back?
3047When does she come?''
3047When he came in to the meal he said, before she could put her question,"What''s the meaning of them words chalked on the door?"
3047When they were walking along Joshua said, with desperate attempt at joviality,''Rosa, what''s going on?''
3047When would he dine with them?
3047Where?"
3047Which of you two was it that first proposed not to marry as we were engaged?"
3047Who in the world can the man be?''
3047Why could not her uncle have lived a couple of hours longer, since he had lived so long?
3047Why did you suppose such a thing?''
3047Why may n''t I?''
3047Why not ride up to Covent Garden with me?
3047Why not stay by me?
3047Why should you try to disguise the full truth, when you have already owned half of it?
3047Why was it a luxury?
3047Why would n''t she have him when he wanted her?
3047Why, dear Joanna, do you know you can count to three hundred in that heap?
3047Will ye lock us up in the tower, my dear good clerk?"
3047Will you come with me?''
3047Wo n''t you reconsider?
3047You did n''t really mean what you said to them?"
3047You did n''t, of course, think of bringing an evening dress to such an out- of- the- way place?''
3047You knew what it was upon her mind, sir, that gave her that hollow- eyed look, I suppose?''
3047You will allow me to see you again?''
3047You''d like to be home again?''
3047Your letter was sent in mistake?''
3047what?"
3047will they come?
3056Why not take a little change?
3056''A common headstone?''
3056''A smoker, and no pipe about''ee?''
3056''A wife?''
3056''Ah-- then you despise me, Sally?''
3056''Always away?
3056''An enemy?
3056''And I?''
3056''And do you know where your brother is at the present time?''
3056''And two children?''
3056''And what did you see?''
3056''And what may be this glad cause?''
3056''And you still think,''he went on slowly,''that you will not give this business up?''
3056''And you wo n''t promise and wait till I am ready?''
3056''And''tis not because of any soreness from my slighting you years ago?''
3056''Anything serious happened?''
3056''Are n''t the smugglers afraid that you will tell?''
3056''Are they really buried there?''
3056''Are you alone?''
3056''Are you?''
3056''At any rate, dear Lizzy, you can assure me that the miller shall not be allowed to speak to you except on business?
3056''At any rate, you will let me make him keep his distance as your lover, and tell him flatly that you are not for him?''
3056''Because I married Charles?''
3056''But I ca n''t do nothing without my staff-- can I, William, and John, and Charles Jake?
3056''But for God''s sake how do you come here-- and just now too?''
3056''But how can it be otherwise?''
3056''But it do n''t all belong to Owlett?''
3056''But she knew I was coming to- night?''
3056''But they tell you you may take it?''
3056''But what is the man''s calling, and where is he one of; that he should come in and join us like this?''
3056''But where have you kept yourself?
3056''But why do n''t you deny him, my dear Lizzy?''
3056''But why should you belong to that profession?''
3056''But you have some in the orchard?''
3056''But, Mr. Barnet, how could I write to you?
3056''But,''said Latimer, more frigidly, as they came out of the plantation,''we do n''t know that these chaps with black faces were Moynton men?
3056''But-- on my account-- couldn''t you alter your plans a little?
3056''Can I get you anything else for tea?''
3056''Can a jack- o''-lent believe his few senses on such a dark night, or ca n''t he?''
3056''Can you push up the chimney- crook for me, Mr Darton?
3056''Can you say it, Lizzy, when you know I only want to save you from such practices?
3056''Can you tell me the way to--?''
3056''Crying over something?
3056''D''ye feel ye can meet your fate like a man, neighbour Darton?''
3056''Did he charge much?''
3056''Did he-- like Ivy, did he say?''
3056''Did she take a latch- key?''
3056''Did you hear anything fall?
3056''Did you not say one day that you ought by rights to get a governess for the children?''
3056''Did your mistress leave word where she was going?''
3056''Do dead men come out of their graves and walk in mud?''
3056''Do n''t you interfere, will you, dear Richard?''
3056''Do n''t you remember the lesson of the tribute- money?
3056''Do you catch the likeness of any face or figure as you look?''
3056''Do you mind my refusing?
3056''Do you remember my taking you there the first night you came?''
3056''Ell, where are you?''
3056''Ell, you are not thinking still about that-- poetical friend of yours?''
3056''Faith, why?
3056''For God''s sake, Mrs. Newberry, have you seen Hardman the blacksmith up this way?
3056''For,''said Darton,''why should a woman dress up like a rope- dancer because she''s going to do the most solemn deed of her life except dying?''
3056''From Cherbourg, I suppose?''
3056''Going to set up in trade, perhaps?''
3056''Gone?''
3056''Good-- why-- is that Mr. Barnet?
3056''Had you any notion that it was so late?''
3056''Hav''anybody seen her?''
3056''Have n''t you got the man after all?''
3056''Have you a headache?
3056''He did n''t give his name?''
3056''He is one of the village, I suppose?''
3056''He knows who we are, no doubt?''
3056''He-- he''s not coming?''
3056''Her eyes, then, are not dark like mine?''
3056''Hey-- what?''
3056''How can I repay you for this pleasure?''
3056''How can that do good?''
3056''How did it happen?''
3056''How did these things come in my room?''
3056''How do you choose''em?''
3056''How do you know, if you''ve never seen him?''
3056''How do you wish me to get it out-- with a gimlet, I suppose?''
3056''How is it you''ve come?''
3056''How old do you call him, then?''
3056''How old is he?''
3056''Hullo, Downe-- is that you?''
3056''I could get you a bit, miss, for nothing, if you''d like?''
3056''I had offended you-- just a trifle-- at the time, I think?''
3056''I have got this large house; why ca n''t you marry me, and live here with us, and not be a Methodist preacher any more?
3056''I hope Mrs. Barnet is very well?''
3056''I suppose that''s because you hate me after all this?''
3056''I suppose these helpless beings are left in Australia?''
3056''I thought poor Downe had given up those extravagant notions of his?
3056''I wonder if it is my man?''
3056''If it was only on business, why should anybody wish to listen to you?''
3056''If your men can manage to get off with those tubs, it will be a great profit to you, I suppose?''
3056''In East Street?''
3056''Is Mr. Downe, the solicitor, still in practice?''
3056''Is Mrs. Downe still alive?''
3056''Is father married then?''
3056''Is he handsome?''
3056''Is she ladylike?''
3056''Is she tall?''
3056''Is she young?''
3056''Is the carriage ordered to meet her anywhere?''
3056''Is there a constable here?''
3056''Is this a time or place for recalling such matters?''
3056''Is this what you meant the other day when you spoke of having business with Owlett?''
3056''It is Mr. Stockdale, is n''t it?''
3056''It is worth a good deal, I suppose?''
3056''Late to be traipsing athwart this coomb-- hey?''
3056''Lived here long?
3056''Lizzy,''he said,''do you say we must part-- do you?''
3056''Lost that too?''
3056''Lover not to know, eh?''
3056''Lucy, do n''t you know me?''
3056''Mind, I wo n''t have any more of this sort of thing; do you hear?''
3056''Need I wait, sir?''
3056''No wonder you had permission to broach the tubs-- they were his, I suppose?''
3056''Not Conjuror Trendle?''
3056''Not Sally?''
3056''Not smugglers''liquor?''
3056''Not to that horrid shore again?''
3056''Not with Sally-- to marry her?''
3056''O, Philip-- are you ill?''
3056''O, can it be,''she said to herself, when her visitor had departed,''that I exercise a malignant power over people against my own will?''
3056''O, he''s a friend of yours?
3056''O, you are awake?
3056''O-- you here?''
3056''One of hereabouts?''
3056''Or in his poems?''
3056''Or why was he so terrified at sight o''the singing instrument of the law who sat there?''
3056''Or will you take the lantern while I move them?''
3056''Perhaps you will drag some of those boards aside?''
3056''Quite alone?''
3056''Said so-- when?
3056''Shall I call Sally?''
3056''Shall I come down again?''
3056''Shall we knock at the door?''
3056''She lives with her children, perhaps?''
3056''Should I?''
3056''So I am not to know anything of the mystery that has distracted me all the evening?''
3056''Suppose the officers hinder them landing there too?''
3056''Sure you''re not ill?''
3056''Surely not because of me?''
3056''Surely we can stay a week longer?''
3056''Then Mrs. Newberry is not the old lady I saw this afternoon?''
3056''Then you will go, Lizzy?''
3056''Then,''said he simply,''you had n''t heard of my supposed failure when you declined last time?''
3056''There was no harm in it surely?
3056''They are going to search the orchet and church; can we do anything if they should find?''
3056''Things-- what things?''
3056''Tis now Browse and Co.''''And does Andrew Jones still keep on as architect?''
3056''Took no notice of you?''
3056''Was it you who first proposed coming here?''
3056''Was there ever less head in a brainless world?''
3056''We will part friends, wo n''t we?''
3056''Well, travellers,''he said,''did I hear ye speak to me?''
3056''Well, well,''replied the constable impatiently;''I must say something, must n''t I?
3056''Well, what will you do now?''
3056''What a man can it be?''
3056''What are you going to do?''
3056''What can you have to do further in this unhallowed affair?''
3056''What did she wear this morning?''
3056''What did you say?''
3056''What did you tell her?''
3056''What do these men do by day?''
3056''What do you mean?''
3056''What do you think of smuggling now?''
3056''What do you want him for?''
3056''What does that mean?''
3056''What else do you think it could be, then?''
3056''What is going on there?''
3056''What is it, my man?''
3056''What is that?
3056''What kind of gentleman is he?''
3056''What must we call your wife?''
3056''What the deuce do you want to build that new mansion for, when you have already got such an excellent house as the one you live in?''
3056''What to do with it?''
3056''What was that noise in your chimmer, mother, last night?''
3056''What will you do?''
3056''What''s that?''
3056''What''s the matter?''
3056''What''s the matter?''
3056''What''s the matter?''
3056''What''s the person calling about?''
3056''What''s the vessel?''
3056''What, be you really one of us?''
3056''What, dear?''
3056''What, do I look sickly?''
3056''What, left you nothing?
3056''What-- on the top of the church tower?''
3056''When did you p- p- part from him?''
3056''When?''
3056''Where are they gone?''
3056''Where does he think to fly to?--what is his occupation?''
3056''Where does she live?''
3056''Where is Owlett?''
3056''Where is it now?''
3056''Where is the pa''son?''
3056''Where the divil are the folk gone?''
3056''Where?''
3056''Which is the way to the place?''
3056''Which?''
3056''Who are you?''
3056''Who is this?''
3056''Who?''
3056''Who?''
3056''Why do I?
3056''Why do n''t you come forward?''
3056''Why do you call him conjuror?''
3056''Why do you?''
3056''Why not Sally?
3056''Why not?''
3056''Why should you do this?''
3056''Why should you side with men who take from country traders what they have honestly bought wi''their own money in France?''
3056''Why should you tell me that?''
3056''Why, Marther Sarer, I did not tell you to take''em to Mr. Stockdale''s room?''
3056''Why, indeed, should I have come to- night?
3056''Why, is n''t he my cousin?''
3056''Will all the furniture be new?''
3056''Will you go and tell our folk?''
3056''Will you go in and see?''
3056''Will you let me see it?''
3056''Would you like a fire in your room, Mr. Stockdale, on account of your cold?''
3056''Yes, of course,''she said;''and how am I to proceed?''
3056''Yes, yes, he has, from John Ivy-- perhaps a relative of yours, he thought, visiting here at the time?''
3056''Yes, yes; but what can I do more?''
3056''Yes; and you are Charlson?''
3056''You are a sworn constable?''
3056''You are allowed to help yourself, I suppose, that you may not inform where their hiding- place is?''
3056''You are not going to run any danger, Lizzy?''
3056''You are not offended with me?''
3056''You are quite sure?''
3056''You can contrive for me all that''s necessary?''
3056''You can keep a secret?''
3056''You can send away warts and other excrescences I know,''she said;''why ca n''t you send away this?''
3056''You can, since you seem to wish to?''
3056''You do n''t live in Casterbridge?''
3056''You fell off the bed, surely?''
3056''You have an opening?''
3056''You have heard, then, of her last outbreak?''
3056''You keep them clean out of respect to his memory?''
3056''You know my husband has been dead a long time?
3056''You know what they are?''
3056''You mean Yes by that?''
3056''You only came because business brought you near?''
3056''You will come out and speak to her?''
3056''You will not go to the bottom, Lizzy?''
3056''You would not think it worth while to give up this wild business and live for me alone?''
3056A lock of hair?
3056And if he did live there, how could she call upon him?
3056And it is his rooms we have taken, and him we have turned out of his home?''
3056And then, shall I go on living by myself for ever?
3056And was there really more than worldly wisdom in her refusal to go aboard a sinking ship?
3056And why did you go off so mysteriously?''
3056As far as the world was concerned, your wife was a drowned woman, hey?''
3056At last the minister could bear it no longer, and said to his quaint little attendant,''Where is Mrs. Newberry to- day?''
3056At length he said,''Is old Mr. Watkins still alive?''
3056At what time?''
3056Barnet said at random,''Does Miss Savile live here?''
3056Barnet?''
3056Barnet?''
3056Barnet?''
3056But I am sorry if you have wanted me, Will?''
3056But have you anything I can drink?
3056But what did it matter?
3056But what of that?''
3056But what time is it?''
3056But what''s all this that has happened?
3056But why do n''t you go and see for yourself?''
3056But why is this come to us now, to- day, to- night?
3056But why will you go out again?''
3056Could it really be waiting for him?
3056Could no other misfortune happen to helpless women than this, which will quite upset my poor girl''s chance of a happy life?
3056Could not you go with me to show me the way-- say to- morrow afternoon?''
3056Could this be the explanation, and had such things as this ever happened before?
3056Darton paused to shape his sentence, and asked,''I-- I suppose there''s nobody else more favoured?''
3056Daze it, what''s a cup of mead more or less?
3056Dear me-- what was his name?
3056Do you know you were locked in?
3056Does your uncle know of your distress?''
3056Downe?''
3056Going the same way?''
3056Hall?''
3056Has he never said anything about getting letters from this address?''
3056Have they been got out of the water?''
3056Have ye any lanterns?''
3056Have you spoken to a doctor?''
3056He went in to Lizzy, who sat at a back window sewing, and said,''Lizzy, where are the men?''
3056He wo n''t mind my reading some of them, Mrs. Hooper, I hope?''
3056Hooper, have you a photograph of-- the gentleman who lived here?''
3056How could he be so cruel as that?''
3056How do you think there can be anything between us now?''
3056How does she know us?''
3056How the devil did she get to know him?
3056I never paid it, did I?
3056I suppose if I had married you without finding this out you''d have gone on with it just the same?''
3056I want to know if you will let me do something for you, to give me an occupation, as an idle man?
3056If the sweet and kindly Gertrude Lodge only knew of the scene in the bed- chamber, what would she think?
3056Is he alive?''
3056Is it far to where he lives?''
3056Is the unfortunate man a relation; or, I should say, perhaps''( looking at her dress)''a person who''s been in your employ?''
3056It was all changed-- who would sit in the rooms that they were to line?
3056Melrose?''
3056Newberry, are you aware that you were watched just now, and your conversation heard?''
3056Newberry, is n''t it?''
3056Newberry?''
3056Newberry?''
3056Newberry?''
3056Nor you with me?''
3056Not poppy nor mandragora-- however, how are your wife and children?''
3056Now think it over again, and then look at me, and say if you ca n''t guess?''
3056Now, may I ask a favour, sir?''
3056Now, will you roll out one of the tubs?''
3056Observing Barnet, he went up to him, and recognizing him, said,''Shall I help you home, sir?''
3056On what night did it come?''
3056Once during the day he met her in the garden- path, and said, turning a reproachful eye upon her,''Do you promise, Lizzy?''
3056Perhaps you would like Marther Sarer to bring it up?''
3056Perhaps you''ve read it?''
3056Promise me that the next time he wants to leave his tubs here you will let me roll them into the street?''
3056Rhoda could not avoid the subject which had so mystified her, and after the first few words she stammered,''I hope your-- arm is well again, ma''am?''
3056She called to him loudly enough to be heard above the roar of the weir; he looked down and said,''What d''ye want here?''
3056She said,"Are you the poor boy who had to bring the heavy load from market?"
3056Stockdale?''
3056Stockdale?''
3056Surely you have heard that read times enough in your growing up?''
3056The house is finished almost, is it not?
3056Then, in spite o''seeming, you be worse off than we?''
3056Was he going to give it a name?
3056Was it not stupid of me!--But you will have some tea or something?
3056We will make the best of a bad job; and I hope you are not seriously ill?''
3056Well, is the dress of great consequence?
3056Well, well-- where''s your wisdom?''
3056Well, what''s the matter about that?
3056What can I do?''
3056What colour is her hair and face?''
3056What did he say or do?''
3056What did he want in a wife?
3056What enemy?''
3056What have I else to do?
3056What have ye tried?''
3056What is money compared with a clear conscience?''
3056What next?
3056What respectable man will come here, and marry open- eyed into a family of vagabonds?''
3056What time is the execution?''
3056What woman can in the long run avoid being interested in a man whom she knows to be devoted to her?
3056What''s the complaint?
3056What''s the use?
3056Whatever did you engage in such a trade as that for, and keep it such a secret from me all this time?''
3056When he got among the trees he shouted--''What''s the matter-- where are you?''
3056When he reached home his mother said,''Well?''
3056Where, in the name of the God of Love, was Robert Trewe?
3056Which is Miss Savile''s sitting- room?''
3056While he reflected, he suddenly said to himself, I wonder if all has been done?
3056Who do you say Sally is going to be married to-- a Farmer Darton?''
3056Whose is it?''
3056Why do n''t they come and help us?
3056Why have you done us this wrong, Philip?
3056Why not?''
3056Why should n''t it be as well now as ever?''
3056Why should you side with men who break the laws like this?''
3056Will you come and see if what I''ve fixed on will do?
3056Will you go away upstairs and let me pass?
3056Will you marry me now?''
3056Will you please go indoors?
3056Will you sit down and let me talk to you?''
3056Will you wrap yourself up, and come this way, and please bring that cup with you?''
3056Wo n''t you for the sake of me give up this blamable and dangerous practice altogether?''
3056You can give your hand to me, seeing how often I have held it in past days?''
3056You guessed why, did n''t you?''
3056You have never directly encouraged him?''
3056You know how he suffered?''
3056You will have some tea with me, will you not?''
3056You''ll drive back with us now?''
3056You''ve just called?''
3056he has actually gone past my gates?''
3056tell me, can I help you?''
3056then he has gone back to the altar and canopy after all?
3056what are you doing here?''
3056you knew him at that time?''
3058Do you repent and believe?
3058I reckon she do n''t see me, or wo n''t see me,I said,"and what''s the hurry?
3058''"Are you in want, Monsieur?
3058''"Are you not Monsieur B--?"
3058''"But you accept my proposal?"
3058''"But you find it uncomfortable here?"
3058''"How did you know my real name, Mademoiselle?"
3058''"How long is that?"
3058''"Who is that lady?"
3058''"You are still afraid of me?"
3058''"You have many foreigners here?"
3058''"You know the news?"
3058''"You mean of the rupture between France and England again?"
3058''''Tis to ask me again to marry you?''
3058''''Tisn''t me, is it?''
3058''Ah dear-- and are you come?''
3058''Ah-- is it so?''
3058''Ah-- what then?
3058''Am I bound to tell that?''
3058''And an unpleasant man in the bargain perhaps?''
3058''And are any of the family left there still?''
3058''And is this meal laid for him, or for me?''
3058''And it will be eaten by him?''
3058''And my sister Edith?''
3058''And that you be Sir John Horseleigh of Clyfton?''
3058''And were you, papa, a party to this strange deed of kindness?''
3058''And what can I do next?''
3058''And what did you say to it all?''
3058''And what have you seen here to- night or last night?''
3058''And what mid ye want at this time o''night?''
3058''And what''s the result?''
3058''And who is the Mr. Heddegan they used to call David?''
3058''And you do n''t want me to see you?''
3058''And you?''
3058''Any better?''
3058''Any lambs want bringing in?''
3058''Any person waiting or walking about?''
3058''Are there many more loads to- night?''
3058''Are they educated?''
3058''Are you the shepherd lad I spoke to a short time ago?''
3058''As for drains-- how can I put in drains?
3058''Be ye one of King Monmouth''s men?''
3058''Be ye sleepy?''
3058''But have you a right to refuse us?''
3058''But how can you help it?''
3058''But in a privy way?''
3058''But the son is a soldier, surely; now with his regiment in the East Indies?''
3058''But what should I do?''
3058''But what''s the matter?''
3058''But why should it matter if he be?''
3058''But why?
3058''But you wanted to ask me something?''
3058''But-- the note you wrote to the rector-- and the going to church?''
3058''By the Devil''s Door; do n''t you notice a figure there?
3058''Christine, are you sure that he is come, or have you been sleeping over the fire and dreaming it?''
3058''Christine, what''s the meaning of this terrible story?
3058''D''ye say it verily?''
3058''D''ye think not?
3058''Dead at last-- how old is he?''
3058''Did n''t you tell her?''
3058''Did you leave all as you found it on the hill?''
3058''Did you see him?
3058''Do you know that we may marry here and now?
3058''Do you suppose that anything could justify such an imposition?
3058''Do you think,''she added,''that a woman''s husband has a right to do such a thing, even if he does feel a certain call to it?''
3058''Do you wish me to elope, Nic?''
3058''Do you wish you were still mistress here, dear?''
3058''Dost really know nothing about it?''
3058''Ewes all as I left''em?''
3058''Handsome?
3058''Harriet, dearest, is this fair or honest?
3058''Has she forgiven you?''
3058''Have you buried a man here?''
3058''Have you guessed what it is?''
3058''Have you heard anything more of the young man?''
3058''Have you thought it over?''
3058''Have''ee heard this about the Hussars?
3058''He has not come?''
3058''He says it is barbarous, does he?
3058''He''s well off?''
3058''How can I cut him adrift?''
3058''How can such a comrade of my youth behave to me as you do?
3058''How can that be?''
3058''How can you ask that?''
3058''How can you say so?
3058''How did it occur?''
3058''How did thy mind get filled with such as this?''
3058''How do you account for it?''
3058''How do you mean that?''
3058''How is it you are at Pen- zephyr?''
3058''How much older did you say he was than yourself?''
3058''How often doth he come?''
3058''How soon?''
3058''I ask you again,''said the Duke, coming nearer,''have you seen anything strange these nights you have been watching here?''
3058''I have heard such a fearsome rumour-- what doth it mean?
3058''I''ll provide for her, and make a comfortable woman of her, until you speak of-- what?''
3058''If I tell you, ma''am, you wo n''t tell missis?''
3058''Is it ominous?''
3058''Is it only to tell me this that you have summoned me so strangely?''
3058''Is it worth while, after so many years?''
3058''Is that all that''s the matter?''
3058''It must be a country dance, I suppose?
3058''It was printed?''
3058''Jack,''she asked, with calm pallor and round eyes;''do you mean to say seriously that you are arranging to be a curate instead of a soldier?''
3058''Know what?''
3058''Mademoiselle V--- came homeward, asking herself,"Can he be starving?"
3058''Mills, do you think the Duchess guessed?''
3058''Mills, shall I recall some words to you-- the words of an oath taken on that hill by a shepherd- boy?''
3058''Never heard anything of the young lady-- the Squire''s daughter?''
3058''No?
3058''Nobody seem''th to know what''a did it for,''a b''lieve?
3058''Not Baptista?
3058''Not a breath-- how should I-- away up in Yorkshire?
3058''Not his wife?''
3058''Not real?''
3058''Not the sergeant?''
3058''Not worse than mine?''
3058''Now will ye be a good fellow,''the Squire continued,''and set them going outside in some dance or other that they know?
3058''Now, what''s this?
3058''O mother, would you tell Mr. Miller, if he do n''t know?''
3058''O, how can this be?''
3058''O, my dear John, how is it you be taken like this?''
3058''O-- given up?
3058''O-- what, is it you, Laura?''
3058''Oh Nic,''she cried reproachfully,''how could you stay away so long?''
3058''Oh-- I see it is-- Mr. Nicholas Long,''said Mr. Bealand, and turning again to Christine,''Does your father know of this?''
3058''Oh-- Mills?''
3058''Old times be cursed-- which old times are they?''
3058''Older?
3058''Really?''
3058''Seen the licence?
3058''Shall we try again?''
3058''Squire Everard, of Froom- Everard Manor, has been dead some years, I believe?''
3058''Sure you are able?''
3058''Teaching still?
3058''Tell me what to do?''
3058''The other gentleman?''
3058''The stranger?''
3058''Then he was in this room till just now?''
3058''Then it is the salary?''
3058''Then we sha n''t see anything more of you on the mainland?''
3058''Then you do n''t know the peculiar circumstances, sir?''
3058''This what?''
3058''To a shop as usual, I suppose, mee deer?''
3058''To what?''
3058''Tragedy?''
3058''Wait for you?
3058''Was he older than my sister?''
3058''Well, what is it?
3058''Well-- is it still better late than never?''
3058''Well-- will you?''
3058''Well?''
3058''What are you crying about, poor dearest?''
3058''What are you doing here?''
3058''What do you mean?''
3058''What is it to be?''
3058''What is it?
3058''What is it?''
3058''What is that bell tolling for?''
3058''What is your terrible hurry, mee deer?''
3058''What is yours-- what is it?''
3058''What made you think of going up there this particular afternoon?''
3058''What to do?''
3058''What would become of my uncle''s farming?
3058''What would they think if I did not come?''
3058''What''s his name?''
3058''What''s the matter, Jack?''
3058''What''s the matter?''
3058''What''s thy name?''
3058''What, you wo n''t have him?''
3058''What-- are we going to Pen- zephyr?''
3058''What-- be a parson?''
3058''What-- be you the Newton carol- singers?''
3058''What-- were you all talking about me, my dear?''
3058''What-- you have walked?''
3058''What?''
3058''What?''
3058''Whatever shall I say, that he may not be offended with what I''ve done?''
3058''When I got there-- but shall we not walk on; it is getting cold?''
3058''When does he return?''
3058''When were you to have been married to the said Mr. Bartholomew Miller?''
3058''When?''
3058''Where are we?''
3058''Where are your witnesses?''
3058''Where in the next county?''
3058''Where is Caroline?''
3058''Where is the licence?''
3058''Where is the other gentleman?''
3058''Where''s her goodman?''
3058''Where?''
3058''Whether we shall try again; you remember saying you would at the dance?''
3058''Who is Mr. David Heddegan?''
3058''Who mid ye be a- burying there?''
3058''Who''s dead in the village?''
3058''Who-- Maumbry and Laura?
3058''Who?''
3058''Whom did you marry?''
3058''Why did n''t you come sooner?''
3058''Why did you come into this?
3058''Why does he make no noise?''
3058''Why not have another candle or two, ma''am?''
3058''Why not put it on now?''
3058''Why not?
3058''Why not?''
3058''Why should I have thought I must tell you?
3058''Why should have I been deceived like this?''
3058''Why should we see if he''s there?''
3058''Why should you have been listening at this time of night, and yet not expecting me?''
3058''Why, pray?''
3058''Why, sweetheart?''
3058''Why?''
3058''Will you have a drop of spirits or something?''
3058''Will you leave?''
3058''Will you not go and speak to her?''
3058''Yes-- but what was that, my good lady?
3058''You are sorry you have encouraged that beloving one?''
3058''You belong to her-- how can I do otherwise?''
3058''You do?''
3058''You have married-- Nicholas Long?''
3058''You know it, Charles?''
3058''You know why I come, Alicia?''
3058''You object to my taking a part, then?
3058''You said you mid want us for zummat, sir?''
3058''You''ve been there ever since last night?''
3058''Your ivy?''
3058--not on that hill yonder, or on that ridge behind, but on this best spot of all?
3058A rough old buffer, is n''t he?''
3058A sort of withered corpse of a cake-- not an old bride- cake surely?''
3058Ah, my poor lover- cousin, wo n''t you catch it now?''
3058Altogether--''''What?''
3058An old and deaf lady who was present asked Captain Maumbry bluntly:''What''s this we hear about you?
3058And do you know that now the conditions have arisen which give me liberty to consider you my affianced?''
3058And how did''ee get over the terrible journey from Tor- upon- Sea to Pen- zephyr?
3058And how is she?
3058And if so, why does she not allude to it in her letters to my father?
3058And now, how do you like sheep- keeping?''
3058And that duty done--''''What then?''
3058And the question is, Is the moving worth while, considering the awkwardness?''
3058And when shall I call to see you?''
3058And would you have indeed liked better to live away from me for family reasons, than to run a risk in seeing me for affection''s sake?
3058And yet how can I continue to see you after such a rumour?
3058Are you free?''
3058Bealand?''
3058Before we part then I ask, shall another again intrude between us?
3058Bellston was a traveller-- an explorer-- it was his calling; you may have heard his name as such?''
3058Bellston?''
3058Bellston?''
3058But could he, even now, give up Christine?
3058But do you wish to hear more, or do you not, your Grace?''
3058But he forgave her for marrying Bellston; what could he expect after fifteen years?
3058But how could I when she forbade me?
3058But how refuse Heddegan without telling?
3058But is this persistence of any avail?''
3058But my mother-- what can she be doing?
3058But one day when he asked,''How do you like''em now?''
3058But perhaps it would be taking a liberty?''
3058But what has become of her?''
3058But what of it-- has your Grace gained much by my stanchness?
3058But when it is printed that a man is killed-- what can you think?''
3058But who deceived him, and why?
3058But who may be my husband, if not he?
3058But why did you come a night sooner than you said you would come?
3058But why not say nay, Selina, even if he do forgive''ee?''
3058But you are running too much risk yourself, are n''t you?
3058But you found your mistake, did n''t you?''
3058But, if so, why this mystery?
3058But-- how haunted?''
3058Can I wait while he digs further?
3058Can it be that it is old Sergeant Holway you''ve a- buried there?''
3058Can it be that only seventeen weeks ago I set on this paper the fact of their marriage?
3058Can you let me lie with you to- night?''
3058Can you say no in the face of such facts as I have been put in possession of?''
3058DEAR MR. BEALAND-- Can you make it convenient to yourself to meet me at the Church to- morrow morning at eight?
3058Did I seem rusty and unpractised?
3058Did he marry''ee at church in orderly fashion?''
3058Do Mr. Miller love you or do n''t he?''
3058Do n''t you think I was courageous?''
3058Do you keep sheep here every night?''
3058Do you think your father objects to me now?
3058Does she know of this?
3058Eh, Miss Everard?''
3058Had you-- heard anything about-- what I intended?''
3058Have you enough of the gift of charity to come and carry out my wishes before it is too late?"
3058Have you kept up such goings on?''
3058Have you seen anything strange these nights you have been watching here?''
3058He says how can he fulfil in the real what he has enacted in the counterfeit, while he still loves me?
3058He then bent his eyes with a bland and puzzled air on the ground,''What is this strange story you have to tell me that kept you awake?''
3058He was going to add,''And is he dead?''
3058He''s dearly fond o''Johnny, you know-- just as if''twere his own-- isn''t he, my duck?
3058How are we to account for these, as it would seem, contemporaneous wives?
3058How be I going to face her with the news, and how be I to hold it from her?
3058How came you here?''
3058How came you to accept Mr. Miller, my dear?''
3058How came you to be dining at this time o''night?''
3058How can I meet acquaintances, when I do n''t know what they are thinking of me?''
3058How can I without being wicked?
3058How can you be so touchy?''
3058How could he have expected that the first fair promise of happiness held out to him would remain untarnished?
3058How could she live near her acquaintance as his wife, even in his absence, without suffering martyrdom from the stings of their contempt?
3058How did you come here?''
3058How have you lived since we last met?''
3058How is it with''ee, Mr. Paddock?
3058How long has this been going on, may I ask?''
3058How will the distressing complication end?
3058I ask him why, having a practicable object, he should have minded interruptions and not have chosen the day?
3058I ask, What if it is Roman?
3058I exclaimed,''why have you done this?''
3058I hope ye be well, mee deer?''
3058I inquire if this is really a promise to me?
3058I know I have kept you; but Nicholas, how can I help it sometimes, if I am not to run any risk?
3058I pressed her hand, with tears in my eyes, and said,''And do you forgive him?''
3058I wonder if he is almost here at this moment?''
3058I would have come further if I had been aware--''''Glad to see me, eh?''
3058I''m dog- tired, and I want to have a yew words with Mr. Everard before we join''em-- hey, Everard?
3058If Christine was no longer there, why should he pause over it this evening?
3058If so, whence this sudden change of tone?
3058If you do speak of it?''
3058Is Miss Everard of age?
3058Is it done to torment me?''
3058Is it healthy there for Johnny?''
3058Is it the Mr. Miller who is in this dance?''
3058Is she agitated at the presence of this, to her, new and strange feeling?
3058Is that your father?
3058Is this really all you have to say?
3058It was an act of simple humanity certainly; but I thought I might come to ask if you had recovered?"
3058John, would you like something to drink?''
3058Mother has told you the strange news, of course?''
3058Must not such isolation extinguish her affection for him?
3058Never-- so soon?''
3058Nic, you do forgive me?
3058Nobody in the town but you knows who I really am-- unless you have told?"
3058Now the question: are you quite recovered?"
3058Now, honestly; you do like me best, do n''t you, Baptista?''
3058Now, which would you rather-- see me do those things now, or keep a secret all your life?''
3058O, how I wish I could see mother; why could not both have gone?
3058Of what standing is your husband, and of where?''
3058Or is it Mr. Miller already come?''
3058Or shall we complete the union we began?''
3058Or was it only that he was much less homely now-- a man of the world-- the sense of homeliness being relative?
3058Ought I to have written to Charles sooner?
3058Pausing there, he looked up at her face and said,''Why should we not try again, Christine?
3058Presently he said,''Would you have waited for me if you had known?''
3058Really you do?''
3058Shall I bring in supper directly he comes, ma''am?''
3058Shall we drop out?
3058Sir John what d''ye call''n?''
3058So when will you have pity on me?"
3058Still, his soul ought to hae as good a chance as another man''s, all the same, hey?''
3058Suppose I tell her the marriage was a mockery; suppose she is indignant with me and with him for the deception-- and then?
3058Surely it is not a marriage- licence?''
3058Surely, despite the variations introduced into that figure by changing years, its ground- lines were those of Christine?
3058The funeral is over, then?''
3058The question for me now is, what am I to do?
3058The sailor kissed her, looked at her sternly for a few moments, and pointing to the infant, said,''You mean the father of this?''
3058The tragedy of marriage--''''Tragedy?''
3058Then he would whisper--''He has not come?''
3058Then she said in her usual undemonstrative manner,''O-- is it really you, Charles?''
3058Then this is what that dancing meant, was it?
3058Then your aunt, too--''''Good Lord!--what has she done?''
3058Then, becoming quite meek,''And why was he so cruel as to-- delay his return till now?''
3058This is a deuce of a long dance, do n''t you think?
3058Thought never to see me again, I suppose?''
3058Wake?''
3058Wake?''
3058Was she not making herself a parricide after the event?
3058We can get home to- morrow for certain, I hope?''
3058Well, my dear, will you come?''
3058Well, what''s happened, fie upon''ee?''
3058What am I, then?''
3058What became of that wedding- gown that they were making in this room, I remember-- a bluish, whitish, frothy thing?''
3058What can have been the object of your writing such a letter?
3058What church is the licence for?''
3058What do you mean by holding me so?
3058What does it mean?''
3058What does that mean, Charley?
3058What had come between them?
3058What is it you want to see me for particularly?''
3058What is it?
3058What is it?''
3058What is to be the end of the announcement, and the fate of Caroline?
3058What made you think of this old"Honeymoon"thing?''
3058What manner of man was he?''
3058What shall I get''ee?''
3058What will become of Caroline?
3058What''s that I saw on the beaufet in the other room?
3058What''s the matter?''
3058What, sitting here again, ma''am?''
3058Where are you living, Christine?''
3058Where have you been these many days?
3058Where is thy husband?''
3058While they were filing out, a voice was heard calling--''Hullo!--here, Jim; where are you?''
3058Who is getting up this performance?''
3058Who knoweth but that he have a wife already?
3058Who was that strange gentleman of about seven- and- twenty I saw at Mr. Bellston''s christening feast?''
3058Why are human hearts so perverse?
3058Why could we not have married privately, and gone away, so that he would never have known what had become of you, even if he had returned?
3058Why did I ever see you, since I could not see you till I had committed myself?
3058Why did n''t you?''
3058Why did you come alone and unattended like this?''
3058Why did you go away so suddenly?
3058Why did you not reply to our letters?''
3058Why do you intrude here, Monsieur?"
3058Why had he come, to go again like this?
3058Why had he ever come back?
3058Why not keep me company a bit-- my husband is much away?
3058Why not, as he had suggested, bury memories, and inaugurate a new era by this union?
3058Why should he mar our life?
3058Why should she run away, if not to join her husband, as she thinks him?
3058Why this mean and cramped lodging in this lonely copse- circled town?
3058Will you emigrate with me to New Zealand?
3058Will you please run and help him, at once, if you will be so kind?''
3058Will you proceed?
3058Will you rip them out with a penknife?"
3058Will you sell pounds of soap and pennyworths of tin tacks, or whole bars of saponaceous matter, and great tenpenny nails?''
3058Would he call upon her on Sunday afternoon, when she was sure to be alone?
3058Would not this entail total estrangement between Christine and her family also, and her own consequent misery?
3058Ye wo n''t say that I''ve told ye, please, m''m?
3058Yet how, on the other hand, can he leave it unfulfilled?
3058You are sorry?"
3058You have parents, I think you say?''
3058You have, I suppose, in neighbourly charity, sung peace to his soul?
3058You know what has happened since, I suppose?''
3058You may see me in an ordinary way-- why should you not?
3058You probably know what it is?''
3058You will come?"
3058You wo n''t desert me for it, will you, John?
3058You''ll bide to supper?
3058You''ve been home in England ever since the war ended?''
3058You''ve heard about it, then?''
3058de la Feste''of her former letters?
3058do n''t you know me?''
3058rumours?''
3058who''s there?''
3058you said you had a brother at sea-- where is he now?''
3146''"Immortal spectacle,"--where did ye get that choice mossel, Haymoss?''
3146''''Tis the same story, then?''
3146''A WHAT?''
3146''A misfortune?
3146''Allow me to show you out through the trees and across the fields?''
3146''An answer-- to-- his-- letters?''
3146''An equatorial is the one instrument required to make you quite happy?''
3146''And alone?
3146''And are you bound to occupy the house?''
3146''And do you still go to the House to read to my lady?''
3146''And have the dead man left her nothing?
3146''And how came ye to bow yer head to''t, Anthony?
3146''And is it not so?
3146''And the other?''
3146''And was there any stipulation in the event of your re- marriage?''
3146''And what changes have come over Welland since I was last at home?''
3146''And what do I find them?''
3146''And what do this comet mean?''
3146''And you think that in your particular case the latter alternative will hold good?
3146''Are they gone?''
3146''Are those the only alternatives?
3146''Are you sure you can not retain the money, and be my lawful husband too?''
3146''At what, my lord?''
3146''But before the end of the year-- what places did he tell you of visiting?''
3146''But can I not study and love both?''
3146''But has Lady Constantine spoken of it at all?''
3146''But he is gone to heaven?''
3146''But how did you come by it, Tabitha?''
3146''But how does he put it?
3146''But if he should, must I then tell a lie, Lord forgive me?''
3146''But is it, in a human sense, and apart from macrocosmic magnitudes, important?''
3146''But is there a single thing else left to do?''
3146''But surely you was a bachelor chap by late, afore her ladyship got rid of the regular servants and took ye?''
3146''But the servants?''
3146''But the young man himself?''
3146''But what was the cause of your cry?''
3146''But would you like to see it?''
3146''But you_ do_ take as much interest as before, and it_ will_ be yours just the same?''
3146''But, Swithin, do n''t you see my new trouble?
3146''Can I assist you any further?''
3146''Can it be that I am mistaken?''
3146''Can not you do with your present one a little longer?''
3146''Can you come to me, since I must not come to you?
3146''Can you doubt it?
3146''Can you forget it, Swithin, for a moment?
3146''Can you indeed assure me of that?
3146''Can you see Saturn''s ring and Jupiter''s moons?''
3146''Coral?''
3146''Could not the telescope be brought to my house?''
3146''Could you not strive on if I-- gave you a promise, a solemn promise, to be yours when your name is fairly well known?''
3146''Could you not wait a fortnight longer?''
3146''D''ye think she will?''
3146''Dead, did you say?''
3146''Dearest Viv, why, what''s the matter?''
3146''Did it overtake you, or did you overtake it?''
3146''Did n''t you wish me to come to the house for it?''
3146''Did she take it?
3146''Did you accomplish your object?''
3146''Did you find any good treatises?''
3146''Did you hear what they were saying?''
3146''Did you watch the star?''
3146''Discovery, my lady?''
3146''Do you follow us?''
3146''Do you know that since we last met, I have been thinking of you-- daring to think of you-- as I never thought of you before?''
3146''Do you remember the date of his sailing?''
3146''Do you wish particularly to know what has happened now?''
3146''Do you, Swithin?''
3146''Does he take Europe or America first?''
3146''Does that suffice?''
3146''Done well?''
3146''Everybody else believed them, and why should you not have done so?''
3146''Going to run after St. Cleeve?
3146''Has he any suspicion?''
3146''Has it lowered me in her estimation?''
3146''Has my staying caused you any trouble?''
3146''Has the box arrived yet?''
3146''Has the whole top really gone?''
3146''Have you broken my message to her?''
3146''Have you discovered Swithin St. Cleeve''s address?''
3146''Have you nothing to say?''
3146''He has neither father nor mother, then?''
3146''He is not kind to you, is he, dearest?''
3146''How came the will to be permitted to be proved, as there could, after all, have been no complete evidence?''
3146''How can I leave?''
3146''How could you do it?''
3146''How did you know?''
3146''How is he now?''
3146''How is he?''
3146''How long are you going to make this your observatory?''
3146''How much is it?''
3146''How was that?''
3146''How, Viviette?''
3146''Hullo, Viviette, what are you reading there that makes you flame up so?''
3146''I am injuring you; who knows that I am not ruining your future,--I who ought to know better?
3146''I hope there''s nothing the matter?''
3146''I understood the column was always kept locked?''
3146''In what way?''
3146''In whom?''
3146''Indeed?''
3146''Is Lady Constantine at home?''
3146''Is enlightenment on the subject, then, so terrible?''
3146''Is he going to settle near you?''
3146''Is her ladyship here?''
3146''Is it Gambart''s?
3146''Is it of much value?''
3146''Is it that notion which makes you so sad for your age?''
3146''Is it what a woman ought not to be made acquainted with?''
3146''Is the good man come?''
3146''Is there soon to be a confirmation?''
3146''Lady Constantine, have I done anything, that you have sent--?''
3146''Lady Constantine?''
3146''Lord, lord, what unwholesome scandal''s this about the ghost of a respectable gentleman?''
3146''May I ask what it was?''
3146''May I go up?
3146''Missing?
3146''Mother, what shall I do?''
3146''Must I tell-- what I would not?''
3146''My good fortune?''
3146''No,--surely?''
3146''Nobody staying in the house?''
3146''Not distressed by my letter?''
3146''Not going?
3146''Not here?
3146''Now, dear Swithin, you will do this to please me,--be confirmed on the present occasion?''
3146''Now, have ye got any backy?
3146''Now, who might wish such a thing as that, Mrs Martin?--nobody in this parish?''
3146''O Swithin, what do you say?
3146''O, how could you think so much of renown, and so little of me?
3146''Of your late husband?''
3146''Oh, what then can it be?''
3146''Oh, you have not finished?''
3146''On a domestic matter?''
3146''On your honour, if you have any,''he said bitterly,''whom have you there in your room?''
3146''Or is she meaning to enter upon a virgin life for the rest of her days?''
3146''Perhaps you did not observe its real size,--that it was fixed to a frame- work?
3146''Perhaps you''ve brought the wrong book, sir?''
3146''Please how do you know so much, since my case has not yet arrived?''
3146''Remember it, will you, at a drier time?''
3146''Shall I conduct you home?''
3146''Shall I sing?''
3146''Shall it be done?
3146''She has spoken to you on the subject?''
3146''Since I have done without the virtue of it so long, might I not do without it altogether?''
3146''So, then, you will not accept me?''
3146''Suppose we stroll that way?''
3146''Surely you will not let your infatuation for that young fellow carry you so far, after my acquainting you with the shady side of his character?
3146''That envied power of self- control, where is it?
3146''That some great tumult is going to happen, or that we shall die of a famine?''
3146''The Bishop of Melchester?''
3146''The new Bishop, I hear, is a bachelor- man; or a widow gentleman is it?''
3146''The regular incumbent is away, then?''
3146''Then are you Lady Constantine, wife of the absent Sir Blount Constantine?''
3146''Then do you let everybody pass this way, or only that illustrious youth because he is so good- looking?''
3146''Then how can you refuse the only condition on which I can stay, without ruin to my purpose and scandal to your name?
3146''Then there is no road leading near it?''
3146''Then what am I to do?
3146''Then you can give me no hope of a reply to my second communication?''
3146''Then you mean to keep it?''
3146''There must be some solution to them?''
3146''There was no attempt to bring him home when he died?''
3146''This cleaning and preparation that I observe going on must be rather a tax upon you?''
3146''To do what?''
3146''Voices?''
3146''Was he a particularly good man?''
3146''Well, Hezekiah, and Samuel, and Nat, how are you?''
3146''Well, to whom were you speaking?''
3146''Well, you want to go home at once, I suppose?''
3146''Well?''
3146''Well?''
3146''What are you doing to- night?''
3146''What are you doing?
3146''What can this be?''
3146''What do you mean, Louis?''
3146''What do you mean?''
3146''What do you see?''
3146''What does this income of six hundred a year mean?
3146''What else can we do?''
3146''What have I to lose?''
3146''What have you lost?''
3146''What is it, then?''
3146''What is it?
3146''What is it?
3146''What is it?''
3146''What is it?''
3146''What is that?''
3146''What is the accident?''
3146''What is the matter, Louis?''
3146''What is the matter?
3146''What is the rest of it, then?''
3146''What monsters may they be?''
3146''What place is this?''
3146''What reason?''
3146''What shall I do?''
3146''What sort of an idea?''
3146''What then shall I do?''
3146''What was that?''
3146''What would really help you out of all your difficulties?
3146''What would you have done if you had not been already appropriated?''
3146''What''s that?''
3146''What''s the matter, for heaven''s sake, Viviette?''
3146''What?''
3146''What?''
3146''What?''
3146''When shall I be able to claim you,''he added,''and put an end to all such painful accidents as these?''
3146''Where can he be?''
3146''Where did the lash touch her?''
3146''Where does he say you are to write to him?''
3146''Where does your brother come from?''
3146''Where has Swithin gone to first?''
3146''Where is the observatory?''
3146''Where is your brother this morning?''
3146''Where shall I get?
3146''Where was he educated?''
3146''Where_ can_ that letter be?''
3146''Which one?''
3146''Who is that-- Amos Fry, I think?''
3146''Who is the friend of kindred pursuits?''
3146''Who lives in the old house behind the plantation?''
3146''Who shall I pray for?''
3146''Who shall I pray for?''
3146''Whose can they be?''
3146''Why I a woman, or you a man, dear Lady Constantine?''
3146''Why could it not have been less sombre in colour?''
3146''Why did you prefer to lunch in this awkward, dusty place?''
3146''Why did you propose it for an instant?''
3146''Why did your uncle attach such a cruel condition to his bounty?''
3146''Why do n''t ye go out and speak to her?''
3146''Why do you think that?''
3146''Why do you want that unimportant document?''
3146''Why must we forget it all?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why should I have forbidden?''
3146''Why should you be so good to me?''
3146''Why should you force me to that?''
3146''Why so anxious, Anthony Green, as I think yer name is shaped?
3146''Why was I so incautious?''
3146''Why, do n''t you see?''
3146''Will he get over it?''
3146''Will it be much trouble?''
3146''Will it make any difference to us here?''
3146''Will the house ever be thrown open to gaiety, as it was in old times?''
3146''Would it be well for us to meet Mr. Torkingham just now?''
3146''Would you be interested in seeing the observatory, Bishop?''
3146''You are much obliged to me?''
3146''You are often on this tower alone at night?''
3146''You are sure it is not Lady Constantine''s?
3146''You had a great- uncle?
3146''You have?''
3146''You imply that if I were to marry a man younger than myself he would speedily acquire a contempt for me?
3146''You know the Bishop?''
3146''You know who he is, of course?''
3146''You leave me to- morrow, Viviette?''
3146''You made a mistake, did n''t you, mother?''
3146''You see that dark opening in it near the Swan?
3146''You will not miss the morning observation, if it should be necessary?''
3146''You will really be such a flat, Viviette?''
3146''Young men what?''
3146''Your brother?''
3146A Mr. St. Cleeve, do you say?
3146A curate''s son?
3146Am I not a fearful deal older than you?''
3146And have he carried his inheritance into''s grave?
3146And turning to Viviette she whispered,''Her years be so great, your ladyship, that perhaps ye''ll excuse her for busting out afore ye?
3146And why should you deplore your altered circumstances, my dear lady?
3146And will his skeleton lie warm on account o''t?
3146Are n''t you?''
3146Are you mad?''
3146As''tis so dark in the hut, suppose we draw out the bench into the front here, souls?''
3146But I tire you with this subject?''
3146But Lady Constantine detained him with,''Have you ever seen my library?''
3146But are you unwell, that you drive out in this chair?''
3146But how shall I know that you care to be so much to me?''
3146But look at my face; does the mark show?''
3146But now I am an old woman, and you are still a young man; so how can you love me?
3146But perhaps you would rather not?''
3146But was there a line of conduct which transcended mere self- preservation?
3146But what are they worth?
3146But what does that matter, now I have made the discovery?''
3146But what of that?
3146But what would I not do for you?
3146But what would Sir Blount say, if he came home and saw the goings on?''
3146But who can be sure?''
3146But who is perfect?''
3146But why had she expected otherwise?
3146But will you allow me to rent it of you for a time, Lady Constantine?''
3146But will you take my word of assurance that I am not so bad as I seem?
3146But your own conscience would surely be the best guide, Lady Constantine?''
3146Can I help you?''
3146Can it be mended?''
3146Can you meet me-- let me see-- in the churchyard, at half- past ten o''clock?''
3146Cleeve?''
3146Cleeve?''
3146Controlling herself by a strenuous effort, she disguised her despair and asked vacantly:''From America to the South Pacific-- Transit of Venus?''
3146Could he be depended on for such self- sacrifice?
3146Did ye bring along the flagon, Haymoss?
3146Did you watch every night, not missing one?''
3146Do you give me your solemn promise as to the last point, if I confide in you?''
3146Do you know that my discovery has been forestalled?
3146Do you know who he is?''
3146Do you think she will go away from Welland?''
3146Found the coral bracelet?
3146Glanville?''
3146Have you also heard that I am now quite a poor woman?
3146Have you entirely taken possession of this column?''
3146Have you his letter with the conditions, or the will?
3146Have you not wanted me dreadfully, to write down notes?''
3146He had worked hard, and why should he not be famous early?
3146He looked up at her, and with some concern said,''What''s the matter?''
3146Hey?
3146How and where does he study astronomy?''
3146How are you getting on with your observations?
3146How are you to keep yourself in sight of him?''
3146How can he?
3146How comes he to be staying on here?
3146How could she, an unendowed woman, replace such assistance?
3146How could-- the marriage be quite private?''
3146How did the glass get on my table?''
3146How did you know it was coral?
3146How does he justify himself in making such a harsh restriction?
3146How does it concern me?''
3146How long is it since she has heard from Sir Blount, Tabitha?''
3146How much younger must a man be than his wife-- to get that feeling for her?''
3146How old do you think I am?''
3146I ask you, can I honestly break that promise to my husband?''
3146I hope you are well prepared for the rite, Swithin?''
3146I suppose it is of no consequence?''
3146I trust that the prospect opened up by my proposal, combined with this other news, has not proved too much for her?''
3146I''ll tell ye what, sir; I think I''d better run round to the gentleman''s lodgings, and try to find him?''
3146In thinking of the heaven above, I did not perceive-- the--''''Earth beneath?''
3146Is it Charles the Fifth''s, or Halley''s, or Faye''s, or whose?''
3146Is it not all written in the chronicles of the Astronomical Society?
3146Is it nothing to you that, after all our vows for life, you have thought it right to-- flirt with a village girl?''
3146Is it so?''
3146It was once something to us, was it not?
3146Lady Constantine drew close to St. Cleeve''s side, and whispered, trembling,''Do you think they will wait long?
3146Martin?''
3146Martin?''
3146Mr. San Cleeve, making so bold, you''ve never faced him yet, I think?''
3146My workmen could fix it, could they not?''
3146Nature was forcing her hand at this game; and to what will not nature compel her weaker victims, in extremes?
3146Need it be said that he promised never to reproach her with that or any other thing as long as they should live?
3146Nobody knows you are here, I suppose?''
3146Not Louis, surely?''
3146Nothing serious?''
3146Now what do you see, Lady Constantine?''
3146Now will you prove to me that you are the same by owning some fault to me?''
3146Now you do n''t care; and who is to blame?
3146Now, at twenty, he was doomed to isolation even from a wife; could it be that at, say thirty, he would be welcomed everywhere?
3146Now, do n''t you tell him I''m in the house, will you?
3146Now, how many do you think are brought within sight by the help of a powerful telescope?''
3146Now, promise me-- I insist-- that you will not commit such imprudences again; for what should I do if my Astronomer Royal were to die?''
3146O Swithin, your remedy-- is it to go away?
3146O how can you talk so lightly of this, Lady Constantine?
3146O will he-- will he, come again?''
3146Or can we get out?''
3146Or shall I exile myself, and study as best I can, in some distant country, out of sight and sound?''
3146Shall I stay too, as we planned?''
3146Shall I take you out into the air?''
3146She added with an uncertain smile,''But how can I believe that, after what was seen to- day?
3146She supposed he had confined his search to his own sublime subject, astronomy?
3146She turned to him:''Now are you happy?''
3146Should he venture to give her thoughts a new course by a revelation of his design?
3146So it has made you quite forget me?''
3146So what are we to do?''
3146Something would, surely?''
3146Still, who knows?
3146Surely you are disturbed?
3146Swithin started, and said,''How did you come here, Tabitha?''
3146Swithin, are you sure that he makes that condition indispensable?
3146That power of concealment which a woman should have-- where?
3146The Bishop is a striking man, is he not?''
3146The latch was lifted, and a man asked from the darkness,''Is Mr. Torkingham here?''
3146The seeming is nothing; I know the truth, and what does it matter?
3146Then he looked again; till wondering who her companion could be she asked,''Are you often here?''
3146Then seemingly moved by second thoughts she bent forward and said,''Is the night good for observations?''
3146Then we are to tell nobody but the Bishop?''
3146Then what did you come for?''
3146To those with whom she came in contact she sometimes addressed such remarks as,''Is young Mr. St. Cleeve getting on with his observatory?
3146Torkingham?''
3146Well, little Freddy, you do n''t wish in the morning that''twere evening, and at evening that''twere morning again, do you, Freddy, trust ye for it?''
3146Well, well, where can my lady be?
3146What are you thinking of?''
3146What can I, can I do, that neither the Bishop nor my brother may conclude_ I_ was the woman there?''
3146What can you do to keep them out?''
3146What could this communication mean?
3146What did they say?''
3146What did you do with it?''
3146What do you want?''
3146What have you done about it, dearest?''
3146What is he doing?''
3146What shall I do?''
3146What was he doing?
3146What was her position as legatee to her situation as a woman?
3146What was it, may I ask, Lady Constantine?''
3146What woman has a right to blight a coming life to preserve her personal integrity?
3146What, are you going?
3146When all was over, and he was again conducting her to the Great House she said--''When can you start?''
3146When can you see me again?''
3146When do you start?''
3146When he had finished, and she had eaten little or nothing, he asked once more,''How do you intend to answer that letter?
3146When is it to be?
3146When is your birthday?''
3146When will you come again?''
3146Where should I have been without your gift?''
3146Where was Swithin?
3146Who could believe the Bishop now to be the same man that he had been a moment before?
3146Who makes equatorials?''
3146Who told you so?''
3146Who was she?''
3146Why ca n''t ye do something that''s of use?''
3146Why do n''t you sing more earnestly?''
3146Why do you turn your face aside?
3146Why have I drawn you off from a grand celestial study to study poor lonely me?
3146Why have you never told me about it, dear Swithin?
3146Why not stay here to- night, St. Cleeve?
3146Why not write to Sir Blount, tell him the inconvenience of such a bond, and ask him to release you?''
3146Why should she, to save her narrow honour, waste the wide promise of his ability?
3146Why should we try to observe to- night?
3146Why was it?''
3146Why were you so frightened at those old clothes I borrowed?''
3146Why, how old do you think I am?
3146Will it offend you if-- I ask you to leave?''
3146Will you do this,--watch the star for me while I am gone?
3146Will you fix the day?
3146Will you go on the journey?''
3146Will you kindly let Lady Constantine know this, since she is interested in my welfare?''
3146Will you never despise me?''
3146Will you never regret this?
3146Without the Church to cling to, what have we?''
3146Would he or would he not come the next day?
3146Would you mind going down, and leaving me to go into my room for a moment?''
3146XI Why had Lady Constantine stopped and turned?
3146XXII Lady Constantine flung down the old- fashioned lacework, whose beauties she had been pointing out to Swithin, and exclaimed,''Who can it be?
3146Yet how should you?
3146Yet was this assumption of his return so very safe?
3146Yet who knows?''
3146You are sure there is no escape?
3146You be not a married man?''
3146You do n''t seriously mean that the Bishop of Melchester has any feelings for me other than friendly?''
3146You have never seen it, have you?''
3146You know why, do you not?''
3146You scarcely knew me for the same woman, did you?''
3146You see that dying one in the body of the Greater Bear?
3146You will not go away?''
3146You would be head of the church in this diocese: what more can you require after these years of miserable obscurity?
3146_ I_ flirt, Viviette?
3146and shall it take place at a registrar''s office, since there is no necessity for having the sacred part over again?''
3146and would it not be an excellent thing to put it in practice now?
3146or does it not refer to you?''
3146she said hastily to Mrs. Martin;''do n''t ye see how it do raft my lady?''
3146supposing I agreed?''
3146what shall I do?''
3146why did you?''
2864And next?
2864And then?
2864And what next?
2864What will you be next, sir?
2864''"Defence of the country"?''
2864''"Dinner at Carlton House"?''
2864''A woman, sir?''
2864''Active?
2864''Ah, where to?''
2864''Ah, you are going back to get into some danger on my account?''
2864''Ah, you are one of the attendants at court perhaps, come on ahead to get the King''s chambers ready, in case Boney should not land?''
2864''Ah-- she''s back again?''
2864''All alone?''
2864''All of you?''
2864''And Bob has n''t got a scratch?''
2864''And I may come and meet you?''
2864''And I?''
2864''And are you and your mother always going to stay down there in the mill- house watching the little fishes, Miss Anne?''
2864''And do it hurt your feelings, my son, at such a time?''
2864''And here''s a sort of dint in yer forehead too; what do that mean, my dear boy?''
2864''And how did you come to be here?
2864''And is he come at last?''
2864''And not care about me at all?''
2864''And she asked you to come for me?''
2864''And she will soon be here?''
2864''And that other thing I asked you?''
2864''And the man yet lives, and you wants yer horse- pistols instantly?
2864''And was there nothing else pretended-- something more like this, for instance?''
2864''And what of that?''
2864''And what rank does he hold now?''
2864''And what time was it?''
2864''And who is he going to marry?''
2864''And you are in the merchant- service?''
2864''And you are not going to?''
2864''And you have torn yourself away from King George''s Esplanade so soon, Farmer Derriman?''
2864''And you taught them how to do it?''
2864''And you will go with your regiment to meet''en, I suppose?''
2864''And you wo n''t lend''em to anybody, or put''em into the bank-- for no bank is safe in these troublous times?.
2864''And you''ll not object?''
2864''Anne, what are you thinking about?
2864''Are they all gone?''
2864''Are you a good practical seaman?''
2864''Are you hurt?''
2864''Are you never going to turn round?''
2864''Are you offended with me?''
2864''Ask yer pardon, sergeant; but what must we infantry of the awkward squad do if Boney comes afore we get our firelocks?''
2864''Because you hate him who would make it yours?''
2864''Bob Loveday going to be married?''
2864''But I am not worthy of the daughter of a genteel professional man-- that''s what you mean?''
2864''But I thought you were going to look in again before leaving?''
2864''But am I pardoned?''
2864''But can I?
2864''But do you know what it is?''
2864''But how did you come upon his back, and whose horse is it?''
2864''But how did you get in such a place?''
2864''But how if we should be all abed, corpel?
2864''But if you ever_ should_ think you knew it was me, why, you know where to find me?''
2864''But is he here?''
2864''But perhaps not quite so much art is demanded to paint a summer- house as to paint a picture?''
2864''But sometimes there are false alarms?''
2864''But the captain is in the West Indies?''
2864''But the other one I''ve got no use for at all; and,''he continued, looking round,''will you have it, Miss Anne?
2864''But then, what''s to be done about the victuals?''
2864''But where''s Widow Garland and Maidy Anne?''
2864''But you are not?''
2864''But you do now?''
2864''But you will stay till the rain is over, sir?''
2864''But you''ll step down again between now and then?''
2864''But,''said Anne,''what has made you change all of a sudden from what you have said before?''
2864''By your leave, ma''am, I''ll speak to you on something that concerns my mind very much indeed?''
2864''Ca n''t we walk on?
2864''Ca n''t you?
2864''Can I speak to ye alone?''
2864''Can that arch- enemy of mankind have landed at last?''
2864''Can you ask such a question?
2864''Captain Hardy?''
2864''Come all the way from quarters, then?
2864''Come, what jabber is this going on?''
2864''Company?
2864''Could n''t we get him to go to the theatre with us?
2864''Courting-- wife?''
2864''Cripplestraw, you flatter me; or do you mean it?
2864''Did I hear a noise when I went out?''
2864''Did I laugh?''
2864''Did he say he did n''t?''
2864''Did she ever tell you that she mentioned your name to the King?''
2864''Did you get your signal to fire it from the east?''
2864''Did you really take the trouble to find me?
2864''Did you speak, Mis''ess Anne?''
2864''Did you-- the very same?''
2864''Do n''t know-- how is that?''
2864''Do n''t you remember, ma''am?
2864''Do she want to hear or see any more, or do n''t she?''
2864''Do such alarms as these, Cripplestraw, ever happen without foundation?
2864''Do they?
2864''Do ye want to say anything to me, nephew?''
2864''Do you know what it is for, eh?''
2864''Do you know where he is?''
2864''Do you know, John, what you once asked me to do?''
2864''Do you like windy weather?''
2864''Do you speak of Robert Loveday as courting a wife?''
2864''Do you think we ought to go, mother?''
2864''Do you want to marry_ him_?''
2864''Does Elliston pay as good salaries this summer as in--?''
2864''Does it give you pleasure?''
2864''Does it make you seem just a trifle uncomfortable, Noakes?
2864''Down here?''
2864''Glad that his venture do n''t prosper?''
2864''Going into the village?
2864''Going?''
2864''Good folks, will you come up to the door with me?
2864''Halves, then?''
2864''Has anybody been hanging about Overcombe Mill except Loveday''s son the soldier?''
2864''Has anybody told ye?''
2864''Has the press- gang been here?''
2864''Have ye heard about the King coming, Miss Maidy Anne?''
2864''Have you almost done it?''
2864''Have you heard anything new?''
2864''Have you heard the news?
2864''Have you spoke to Anne Garland to- day-- or has anybody been talking to her?''
2864''He is much younger than his brother?''
2864''He is your brother?''
2864''He will only have men there except ourselves, will he?
2864''He will tell, of course?''
2864''Her father is in business near the docks, I suppose?''
2864''Her mother?
2864''Her mother?''
2864''Her name?
2864''Hey?''
2864''Hey?''
2864''How are we going to do it now?
2864''How came you to do that, my dear?''
2864''How came you to think of making such a peculiar thing?''
2864''How came you to think of such a thing?''
2864''How can I get some of it cleared off?''
2864''How can I say, when I do n''t know?
2864''How can you think of such trifles as churchgoing at such a time as this, when your own native country is on the point of invasion?''
2864''How can you understand military terms who''ve never had a sword in your life?
2864''How could you help her to go away?''
2864''How did such a thing as that happen, in Heaven''s name?''
2864''How did you come here?''
2864''How is it that your regiment is not marching past?''
2864''How is it you''re not on board a man- of- war?''
2864''How is your head now?''
2864''How like summer it is getting to feel, is it not?''
2864''How long did you say in your letter that you had known her?''
2864''How many did you choose her out from?''
2864''How should they have found him out else, now he''s been home from sea this twelvemonth?''
2864''How''s this, John?
2864''How?''
2864''I am glad to see you,''he said contritely;''and how do you do?''
2864''I am not?''
2864''I ca n''t get into much danger with such a fellow as he, can I?''
2864''I do n''t see that it is such a critical time?''
2864''I do n''t want to spite''em?''
2864''I hope it is right now?''
2864''I like light hair; and her name?''
2864''I never did now, did I?
2864''I suppose your friends here are disturbed by my coming in, as they do n''t seem to talk much?
2864''I wonder if they have left a watch behind?''
2864''I wonder what has become of Bob?''
2864''I''d sooner see churches fall than good drink wasted; but how was I to know better?''
2864''I''ll come and have a look at ye if all''s well, and the landing is put off-- hang me if I don''t!--Hullo, hullo, what do I see?''
2864''I''ll go, of course,''said John;''and perhaps Miss Garland would like to see what''s doing there to- day?
2864''If a Frenchman came up to you, Mr. Derriman, would you take him on the hip, or on the thigh?''
2864''If it were all right on that point, would you mind the other?''
2864''In a queer way?''
2864''In love with Bob, and he with her?''
2864''In what sort of way?''
2864''Indeed-- G sharp?''
2864''Is Miss Garland here?''
2864''Is Miss Johnson downstairs?''
2864''Is Mr. Festus with him?''
2864''Is he in there with ye?''
2864''Is it peace?''
2864''Is it true that the French have not landed at all?''
2864''Is it you, dear Anne?
2864''Is she fair or dark?''
2864''Is this all, sir?''
2864''Is this then because you want to throw dust in the eyes of the Black Diamond chaps?''
2864''Is your master here?''
2864''Is your watering- place a large city?''
2864''John, how can I welcome''ee?''
2864''John, you can mind Mrs. Martha Garland very well?''
2864''Knocked to pieces?
2864''Knows?
2864''Looking for hands, I suppose?''
2864''Man a- lost, where are you?''
2864''Men can forget in six weeks, ca n''t they, Bob?''
2864''Miller, will ye just look, since I am here-- just look and see if the box is all right?
2864''More friends?''
2864''Much?''
2864''My nephew, after that maid that he''s so mighty smit with?''
2864''My nephew_ here_?''
2864''Nor any of the--th Dragoons?
2864''Not if she is in love with Bob, and has been for years, and he with her?''
2864''Not sleep here o''nights?''
2864''Not unless her presence is too much for you?''
2864''Now what was it you laughed at?''
2864''Now, did n''t you think highly of her, Miss Garland?''
2864''Now, look here, hearties; what''s the meaning o''this?''
2864''Nunc, why how the devil''s this?
2864''O, is it you, dear Anne?''
2864''O, is it you?''
2864''O, not always?
2864''O, you know about it then?
2864''O?
2864''Od take it, ma''am, you did n''t tell me when I saw you last that the tooting man with the blue jacket and lace was yours devoted?''
2864''Of me?''
2864''Oh?''
2864''Or the place where something is hid away-- money, for instance?''
2864''Parrots?''
2864''Perhaps somebody will lend me a little if I get into a hot corner?''
2864''Perhaps you do n''t like us warriors as a body?''
2864''Play- actress, Maister Derriman?''
2864''Please, sir,''tis Anthony Cripplestraw, wanting to know how he''s to bite off his katridge, when he have n''t a tooth left in''s head?''
2864''Shall I ask''em in a minute, Mrs Garland, ma''am?''
2864''Shall I look for you?''
2864''Shall we go home, then?''
2864''Shall we go on to where my mother is?''
2864''Shall we go too, and tease him for a sly dog?''
2864''She was really beautiful; no nonsense about her looks, was there?''
2864''So Bob told you he meant to break off with my Anne when he went away?''
2864''Something more?''
2864''Surely this is your way?''
2864''Talking of music-- I fear you do n''t think the rank of a trumpet- major much to compare with your own?''
2864''Thank you, Bob; what is it?''
2864''That buck in pantaloons and half- boots-- a looking like a squire?''
2864''That he got her to go away?''
2864''That was why you did n''t challenge me, then?''
2864''The Black Diamond?''
2864''The King?''
2864''The bow of my cap- ribbon has come untied, has it not?''
2864''The lady is not used to country life; are you, ma''am?''
2864''Then Monday-- Tuesday-- Wednesday, surely?''
2864''Then Sunday?''
2864''Then if I tell you,''she said,''will you discuss with me what I had better do, and not for the present let my mother and your father know?
2864''Then what''s the use of going?''
2864''Then why do n''t you?
2864''Then why do you do it?''
2864''Then why do you mistrust me?
2864''Then will you come in?''
2864''Then will you shake hands?''
2864''Then you wo n''t come with us?''
2864''There''s my letter-- what shall I do about that?''
2864''There, now I hope you are satisfied, sir?''
2864''They ca n''t make you go, now you are a gentleman tradesman, can they?''
2864''They have been thinking you were very strange and silent to- day, Bob; you were not, were you?''
2864''They have come?
2864''They wo n''t know you, will they, Bob?''
2864''To John?
2864''To Miller Loveday''s?''
2864''Twas praise?''
2864''Want to fight, do ye, eh?''
2864''We help him?''
2864''Well, Cripplestraw, how is it to- day?''
2864''Well, John; Bob has told you all, of course?
2864''Well, granny, have ye seen the French?''
2864''Well, if the young woman do n''t want to see yer head, maybe she''d like to hear yer arm?''
2864''Well, nephy, you are not gone yet?''
2864''Well, nunc, how do you feel?''
2864''Well, that''s all the more reason why I should, is n''t it?''
2864''Well, well, well; what is his name?''
2864''Well, what do we think of our nice trumpet- major, hey?''
2864''Well, what do you want to say to me?''
2864''Well,''said Bob timidly,''as it is a ticklish time for him, would it not be worth while to make up any differences before the crash comes?''
2864''Well-- need I say more?
2864''Well?''
2864''Whash her name?''
2864''What are they doing?
2864''What are you staying for, Miss Garland?''
2864''What are you thinking of, talking like that?
2864''What art perusing, Bob, with such a long face?''
2864''What be you rolling back the tablecloth for, David?''
2864''What boat is that?''
2864''What can make you so seriously anxious to see me?''
2864''What clothes has he got on?''
2864''What crazy thing is running in his head now?''
2864''What d''ye want?''
2864''What do you see out there?''
2864''What do you see to laugh at?''
2864''What do you see, sailor?''
2864''What do you want?''
2864''What does it matter?''
2864''What does it mean?''
2864''What have I done to make you behave like that?
2864''What have we got here-- a tin box-- the box of boxes?
2864''What have you come for, that you are so anxious to see me?''
2864''What have you heard?
2864''What have you seen, Granny Seamore?''
2864''What hev happened to ye?
2864''What is John''s direction?''
2864''What is it for, then?
2864''What is it?''
2864''What is it?''
2864''What is it?''
2864''What is the noise about?''
2864''What letter is it?''
2864''What makes''em think I am going to fall?''
2864''What of her?''
2864''What of him?''
2864''What stock has uncle lost this year, Cripplestraw?''
2864''What was that?''
2864''What''s a marmoset?''
2864''What''s all right?''
2864''What''s going on?''
2864''What''s in ye to rouse honest folks at this time o''night?''
2864''What''s that?''
2864''What''s the matter, Bob?''
2864''What''s the matter, Bob?''
2864''What''s the matter, John?''
2864''What''s the matter?''
2864''What''s this?''
2864''What, Bob?
2864''What, Robert, you''ve been after her?''
2864''What, did n''t I tell''ee?
2864''What, did n''t you know of the mistake till now?''
2864''What, did you know my father?''
2864''What, for heaven''s sake, is the matter?''
2864''What, is he listening?''
2864''What, obliged to dig it up from the cellar?''
2864''What, that little nest of fellows at the"Old Rooms"in Cove Row?
2864''What, were they any more than common friends?''
2864''What, what, crying?''
2864''What-- has the old fellow been telling you his affairs?''
2864''What-- is she the woman of his choice after all?''
2864''What?
2864''What?''
2864''What?''
2864''What_ shall_ I do?''
2864''Whatever do I see yonder-- a row of white things on the down?''
2864''When I fall?''
2864''When are you coming to the hall again?''
2864''When be you going, Bob?''
2864''When d''ye think''twill be?''
2864''When will you have sense enough to mind your own business, and not come here telling things you have heard by sneaking behind people''s backs?''
2864''When?''
2864''Where are you going to take me?''
2864''Where are you going?''
2864''Where be those fellows that boarded us?
2864''Where shall we search?''
2864''Where was I?''
2864''Where?''
2864''Who are you?''
2864''Who did he give her up to?''
2864''Who did you think I was, then, that night when I boxed you all round?''
2864''Who do you mean?''
2864''Who goes there?''
2864''Who is going besides?''
2864''Who says so?''
2864''Who?''
2864''Who?''
2864''Whose did you think then?''
2864''Whose?''
2864''Why could n''t he drive down himself to see me?''
2864''Why did n''t ye speak to me afore, chiel?''
2864''Why did you do that?''
2864''Why do n''t he clasp her to his side, like a man?''
2864''Why do n''t he clasp her to his side, like a man?''
2864''Why do n''t ye come and live here with me, and then you would be able to see to it at all times?''
2864''Why do n''t you wear heels to your shoes like Christian people, and not creep about so like a cat?''
2864''Why do you sigh, mother?''
2864''Why do you wish it?''
2864''Why do you wish that?''
2864''Why is she gone?''
2864''Why is that?''
2864''Why not, mother?''
2864''Why not?''
2864''Why not?''
2864''Why not?''
2864''Why not?''
2864''Why would it please you so much?''
2864''Why, is n''t he our nearest neighbour and our landlord?
2864''Why, what''s the matter with thy face, my son?''
2864''Why?''
2864''Why?''
2864''Will the captain allow me to wait on him to- night?''
2864''Will they go and look for them again?''
2864''Will you go and find him?''
2864''Will you let me take you round to the other side, where you can see better?''
2864''Will you not let me help you?''
2864''Will you see her to- day, Bob?''
2864''Would you help to beat them off?''
2864''Would you like to go in and see it at work?
2864''Yes,''she said;''what did it mean?''
2864''Yes?
2864''Yes?''
2864''You are not angry, Miss Garland?''
2864''You are out for a walk?''
2864''You be rather heavy, my dear, eh?''
2864''You did n''t go drinking out of the big mug with your mouth full, or wipe your lips with your sleeve?''
2864''You did n''t know he was here, then?''
2864''You do n''t dislike me?''
2864''You feel yourself quite free, do n''t you?''
2864''You get the sea- breezes here, no doubt?''
2864''You have been all the way to Pos''ham on purpose?
2864''You have been looking out, like the rest o''us, no doubt, Mrs. Garland, at the mampus of soldiers that have come upon the down?
2864''You have got a silver plate let into yer head, have n''t ye, corpel?''
2864''You have not seen me before?''
2864''You know our great trouble, John?''
2864''You look very well; and some say, you are--''''What?
2864''You say I must not speak about it again for ever so long; how long?''
2864''You sent her off?''
2864''You used to have a brother in the army, I think?
2864''You will see her to- morrow before you go?''
2864''You''ll speak to Bob, wo n''t you, honey?''
2864''You''ll swear to it?
2864''You''ll wait a few minutes, just to see if he gets in?''
2864''You''ll wish the poor fellows good- bye?''
2864''You''ve never been into one perhaps, dear?''
2864''You, John?''
2864''You-- who are you?''
2864''Your arm hurt too?''
2864''Your mother might like to?''
2864''_ You_ pull my ears?
2864A queer, strange, perplexing thing, is n''t it?
2864Again he asked himself, what did it all mean?
2864And I hear that men from square- rigged vessels are liked much the best in the navy, as being more ready for use?
2864And how''s yerself?''
2864And is it then all over with me as a British sailor?
2864And observing how wretched she looked, he added,''But wo n''t you let me help you back?
2864And shall we be right to go alone among''em?''
2864And so they expect Buonaparty to choose this very part of the coast for his landing, hey?
2864And that the yeomanry be to stand in front as the forlorn hope?''
2864And then--''''What is there like the army?''
2864And what is she?''
2864Another drop?''
2864Be you valiant?--I know, of course, the words being a matter of form-- be you valiant, I ask?
2864Before leaving he said with some hesitation to his father, including Anne and her mother by his glance,''Do you think to come up and see us off?''
2864Buonaparte is a wretch, a miserable wretch, and this may be only a false alarm to disappoint such as me?''
2864But I have to call and see the old, old--''''Gentleman?''
2864But can it be that my story hurts ye?
2864But how begin?''
2864But how couldst forget so, Bob?''
2864But of course I did n''t know she was too proud to accept a little present-- how should I?
2864But what of that?
2864But will it be understood that way?
2864By God, how are you, my boy?
2864Ca n''t you see that he will, you foolish girl?''
2864Can I ask you not to say a word against her to any of them at home?''
2864Can I ask you to do me one kindness?
2864Can I help you?''
2864Can we save him?
2864Captain Jolly, for instance?''
2864Come now; has n''t he used you badly?''
2864Come, my dear, will you open the door?
2864Could Bob and Anne have quarrelled?
2864Could I but find that fellow, that regular, that common man, I would--''''Yes?''
2864Could Miss Johnson have anything to do with his firmness?
2864Could she not, after all, please the miller, and try to listen to John?
2864Cripplestraw, is there a drop of brandy to be got at in the house?
2864Dear Anne, you do n''t think I have been unmanly or unfair in starting this anew?''
2864Dear me, I thought my house was as quiet as a church?''
2864Derriman?"
2864Derriman?''
2864Derriman?''
2864Derriman?''
2864Did any of ye catch by my reading which day it is he means?
2864Did you know that he had anything to do with it?''
2864Do it, corpel?''
2864Do n''t do anything dreadful, will you?
2864Do n''t ye understand English?''
2864Do people talk about me here, Cripplestraw?''
2864Do you forgive me, Anne?''
2864Do you remember what happened when I came into the room last night?
2864Do you see that soldier walking along?
2864Do you think they really can?''
2864Do you want any more of it, do you?''
2864Duels?
2864Eh, Brownjohn?''
2864Ever so long, did ye say?''
2864Festus turned himself as he talked, and now said abruptly:''Ah, who''s this?
2864Fond of skylarking?''
2864Garland?''
2864HOW THEY TALKED IN THE PASTURES''You often come this way?''
2864Has father told you about it?
2864Haw-- haw-- haw?''
2864He''s going to marry, and what may you think he is going to do it for?''
2864Her father was a landscape painter-- maybe you''ve heard of him, sir?
2864Here at this time of night?''
2864Hey-- what''s that?''
2864How came you here?''
2864How can yeomanry be put in front?
2864How can you do it, Miss Garland, when I, who have enough money to buy up all the Lovedays, would gladly come to terms with ye?
2864How can you tell that lie, when you know''twas somebody else pulled''em?''
2864How could he give her up to a man already over head and ears in love with that actress woman?''
2864How could it have got into the boy?''
2864How did you behave before that lady?
2864How do you feel now, my old friend Stubb?''
2864How far are we from Overcombe?''
2864How is your little girl, ma''am?''
2864How long have you been there?''
2864How long is it since that alarm of the French?''
2864I ask you again, will you open the door?''
2864I can have the pony and trap to fetch her, I suppose, as''tis too far for her to walk?''
2864I hope you do n''t mind?''
2864I ought to have looked higher-- I know it; what of that?
2864I seemed to see you in the smoke, and, thinks I, if I go to Davy''s locker, what will she do?''
2864I should like to know what you would do without such as me if the French were to drop in upon ye any night?''
2864I suppose Anne never caught a capful of wind from that quarter?''
2864I tell you she was good enough for me; and as long as I knew nothing about what you say of her history, what difference would it have made to me?
2864If ye would like to, he''ll undo his sleeve in a minute to oblege ye?''
2864If you are not so brisk inwardly as you was, why not try change of air?
2864Instead of withdrawing it she remained in silence where she was, and he began again--''Are you going to unfasten it?''
2864Is n''t it a stirring picture?''
2864Is n''t it sufficient?''
2864Is n''t that it, fair angel, fair-- what do you call it?--fair vestal?
2864Is that my encouragement?''
2864It was some military gentleman from the camp perhaps?
2864It was the parson?
2864It was the well- informed man who travelled with drapery and the best Birmingham earrings?
2864John likes her, and now''twill be made up; and why should n''t he marry her?
2864John, mournfully:''You will not avoid me for this, or be afraid of me?
2864John, why did you interfere?
2864Loveday?''
2864Loveday?''
2864Maister Derriman, who is himself, when he''s got a woman round his neck like a millstone?''
2864May I ask why you said in such a queer way that you loved that couple?''
2864May I not know her name?''
2864Miss Anne, which?''
2864Mrs. Loveday turned, observed that Anne was gone, and said,''What is it?''
2864Now I wonder if you did anything to disgust her?''
2864Now where could ye put it, dear?
2864Now will you open the door and let me in?
2864Now, after this will you open the door, and show that you treat me as a friend if you wo n''t accept me as a lover?
2864Now, can you see, Cripplestraw, any way at all that the yeomanry can be put in front?
2864Now, hang flattery!--can a man hide without a stain?
2864O yes, there must be; for had not Captain Bob singled out Matilda from among all other women, herself included?
2864O, what shall we do?''
2864O, why_ would_ Bob go in that ship?
2864O, you are Loveday, the young man she''s going to be married to, I suppose?
2864Old what did you say, sir?''
2864Only at a bird, do you say?''
2864Perhaps the young woman would like to see the place?
2864Seeing that Bob found it rather difficult to begin, he leant leisurely against the mantelpiece, and went on,''Is your father well and hearty?
2864Shall I ask him in till ye be ready?''
2864Shall I get it and show it to you?''
2864Shall I hold the paint for you, to save your stepping down?''
2864Shall I lend you a seven- shilling piece, Uncle Benjy?''
2864Shall I lock them into my box for ye?''
2864Shall my man drive you home?''
2864She came nearer, and asked,''Will you tie it for me, please?''
2864She chatted gaily as she walked, and before they had entered the house she said,''What do you think Mr Loveday has been saying to me, dear Anne?''
2864She murmured some soft words, ending with''Do you repent?''
2864She would have given anything to be able to recall them; but he had heard, and said,''Who?''
2864She''s gone-- why ca n''t I let her go, and be happy?
2864So, willy- nilly, we must fain let it pass, eh?''
2864Still, I ought to convoy you home first?''
2864Surely there is some place near?''
2864Surely they can do without you?''
2864Surely''twas another man?''
2864That''s because you are not very tall; is it not, Captain Loveday?''
2864The back of your hand will not be well for a long time, John, will it?''
2864The beds were changed-- wasn''t they maister?
2864The sea is my home, and why could n''t I bide there?''
2864The very slightest symptom of surprise arose in her as she rejoined,''But the weather may change; or had we better not go at all?''
2864Then we would learn if she is a good young woman; and if she is, could we not ask her here, and so make it smoother for him?
2864They had come to Oxwell park gate, and he said,''Do you like going across, or round by the lane?''
2864Upon my heart, there are some women who would say"I do n''t know,"to"Will ye marry me?"''
2864Well, Corporal Tullidge, how''s your head?''
2864Well, ma''am, what part do you play?''
2864Well, then he goes on:"Whereas ye are, as it is alleged, determined to enter into the holy estate of matrimony--"But why should I read on?
2864Well, what do you think of a lot of soldiers coming to the neighbourhood in this way?''
2864Well, what have you to say, Private Tremlett?
2864Well, why do n''t ye speak?
2864What a pretty chip hat the elder princess wears?''
2864What are they doing?''
2864What are we for?
2864What can have possessed her to go away?''
2864What can they be going to do up there?''
2864What could she be running for in that direction?
2864What do you think I am, then, that you should barricade yourself against me as if I was a wild beast or Frenchman?
2864What does it mean?
2864What is her figure- head, my dear?''
2864What made ye think that?''
2864What made you come here, ma''am, at such a critical time?''
2864What of him?''
2864What shall I do?''
2864What should she do?
2864What was Anne doing?
2864What was his name-- John?
2864What woman could have been?
2864What''s that man a- saying of in the rear rank?''
2864What''s the young beau''s name?''
2864Whatever has made you come now, sir, of all times in the world?''
2864Whatever is the matter?''
2864When Bob and his father were left alone, the miller said,''Well, Robert, about this young woman of thine-- Matilda what''s her name?''
2864When are they going to be married?''
2864When shall we go?''
2864When she at last got down to the levels again she paused to fetch breath, and murmured,''Why did I take so much trouble?
2864When they had gone about two hundred yards Matilda betrayed signs of exhaustion, and she asked,''Is there no shelter near?''
2864Where can he be?''
2864Where d''ye put the coffer?''
2864Where did ye get that terrible blow?''
2864Where is Derriman now?
2864Where is he or she gone?''
2864Where is he?''
2864Where is it?''
2864Where to?''
2864Where''s my horse Champion?
2864Which actress is it?''
2864Who knows that you wo n''t hear of my attentions to some Spanish maid before a month is gone by?
2864Who thought of every point in the line as an isolated man, each dwelling all to himself in the hermitage of his own mind?
2864Who was to know you were so confoundedly serious?''
2864Who''s to pay for''t, sure?
2864Who_ can_ that letter be from?''
2864Why are you in such a hurry?
2864Why did n''t he come home; or if he could n''t get leave why did n''t he write?
2864Why did n''t she?''
2864Why did n''t you come before?''
2864Why did n''t you tell me fairly all you knew, and let me do as I chose?
2864Why did ye cost me so much to fetch you?
2864Why do you ask?''
2864Why not walk in the morning?
2864Why should I object to other people''s happiness because I have lost my own?''
2864Why should you be afraid of me?''
2864Why should you say that just now?''
2864Why, look here, what''s this?''
2864Why, what''s your genius for war?
2864Will they see it as a brave hiding?''
2864Will ye, or wo n''t ye, my dear?''
2864Will you come into the great parlour?''
2864Will you come with me to the post- office?
2864Will you make me a promise?''
2864Will you or wo n''t you?''
2864Will you walk with me to church next Sunday afternoon?''
2864Would it be a treat to you?''
2864You are not going to stay long, perhaps?''
2864You are_ sure_ it is the Victory?''
2864You country- folk call St. Swithin''s their christening day, if it rains?''
2864You do n''t call me thoughtless for what I did?''
2864You do too, it seems?''
2864You have never liked John since that affair of Matilda Johnson, have you?''
2864You promise that?''
2864You remember me?
2864You was tender upon that girl; gad, what will become o''her in the struggle?''
2864You will come this way to- morrow at the same time?
2864You will tell us the day?''
2864You wo n''t be married before then?''
2864You wo n''t deem it ill of me?
2864You wo n''t think it unkind?''
2864You wo n''t want me to point her out, Bob; I have my reasons at present for asking it?''
2864You''ll be back again, I suppose, before it gets very late?''
2864You''ll have to turn out as soon as Boney comes over the hill-- Are you going to open the door, I say, and speak to me in a civil way?
2864and are they?''
2864and do n''t he always fetch our faggots from the wood, and keep us in vegetables for next to nothing?''
2864and is it so?
2864do n''t my uncle complain to you of me?
2864it may help me with her-- hey?''
2864more hideous country sounds, I suppose?''
2864said Bob disconsolately, his forehead all in wrinkles,''and I''ve thought you would come with me and cheer the way?''
2864said Festus, reddening,''do you mean to say that you think of him seriously-- you, who might look so much higher?''
2864what are you looking across there for?''
2864what can a man be made of to go on as he does?
2864what dreadful thing is it?''
2864where is he now?''
2864who can have blown upon me?
2864who is it then?''
2864you have altered your mind after all?''
2864you have asked her?''
27A good few twins, too, I hear?
27A large farm?
27A strange vagary, this of hers, is n''t it, Oak?
27A stranger?
27A woman farmer?
27About Baily Pennyways?
27Affliction-- what affliction?
27After that, do you think I could marry you? 27 Ah, neighbour Oak-- how''st know?"
27Ah, when? 27 All I wanted to ask was, if anything had been heard of Fanny Robin?"
27Although he made believe''tis only keeping up o''Christmas?
27And did any of you know Miss Everdene''s- father and mother?
27And do n''t victuals spring up as well as drink?
27And have they done it as you wished?
27And hope to obtain you?
27And how Farmer James would cuss, and call thee a fool, would n''t he, Joseph, when''a seed his name looking so inside- out- like?
27And how is she getting on without a baily?
27And how was the old place at Norcombe, when ye went for your dog? 27 And it shall be the beginning of a pleasant secret courtship of six years, with a wedding at the end?"
27And must you go? 27 And now you are entirely at leisure?"
27And others thought so, too?
27And shall I put up the banns in my parish, and will you in yours?
27And she do n''t even let ye have the skins of the dead lambs, I hear?
27And so you used to do''em the wrong way, like this, did n''t ye, Joseph?
27And that story of the black man, who murdered his wife Desdemona? 27 And was that all?"
27And were you indeed?
27And what are the ties?
27And what are you?
27And what shall I do without you? 27 And what then?"
27And what''s the news?
27And you blamed me for it?
27And you do n''t believe he is?
27And you would n''t have him?
27And, dear miss, you wont harry me and storm at me, will you?
27Are any of my men among you?
27Are you a woman?
27Are you going across to the church, ma''am?
27Are you going in?
27Are you quite sure?
27At any rate, the large ones upon the stone staddles?
27Bain''t ye going to answer the man?
27Bathsheba-- darling-- is it final indeed?
27Beating people down? 27 Boldwood?"
27But I thought it was I who had to call you?
27But I--"Do you hear? 27 But about Fanny?"
27But besides that?
27But how can it give you pleasure to speak to me?
27But how could you chop off a curl of my hair with a sword that has no edge?
27But how was we to know, if you left no account of your doings?
27But is it right? 27 But is it safe, ma''am, after what''s been said?"
27But just now you saidties;"and then-- that woman we met?"
27But soon is perhaps never?
27But surely you will name the time, or there''s nothing in the promise at all?
27But there is?
27But they''re not gone to any war?
27But why? 27 But why?"
27But you ca n''t really care for a word from me? 27 But you know they think so?"
27But you might at some future time of your life?
27But you will leave off that, surely, ma''am? 27 But you''ll promise me not to go to Budmouth second meeting, wo n''t you?"
27But, Mr. Boldwood-- six years--"Do you want to be the wife of any other man?
27But, what are you going away for else?
27But-- Miss Everdene-- you do forgive me?
27Ca n''t you guess at all?
27Can ye go on?
27Can you ask Miss Everdene-- knowing as you do-- what my offence is based on?
27Can you do it? 27 Can you get me a lodging?"
27Can you jest when I am so wretchedly in earnest? 27 Coggan, suppose we keep this night''s work as quiet as we can?"
27Coggan, you can ride bare- backed? 27 Come at last, is it?"
27Come, madam, do you hear what I say?
27D''ye think the barn is safe, Jan Coggan?
27Dark as a hedge, to- night, is n''t it? 27 Dear me-- Casterbridge Union-- and is Fanny come to this?"
27Deceived? 27 Did any one tell you to speak to me like this?"
27Did anybody ever want to marry you miss?
27Did anything seem upon his mind whilst he was speaking to you about this?
27Did she walk along our turnpike- road?
27Did the men think it odd?
27Did ye ever go into the world to try and stop it, Joseph Poorgrass?
27Did ye ever hear such onreasonable woman as that? 27 Did ye notice my lord judge''s face?"
27Did you come by the carrier? 27 Did you hear the strange noise from the church yard?"
27Did you notice Mr. Boldwood''s doings in church this morning, miss? 27 Do I?"
27Do n''t any of the others know?
27Do n''t you see, it altered all the chances? 27 Do we?
27Do ye think he REALLY was out of his mind when he did it?
27Do you know her?
27Do you know his name?
27Do you know how late they keep open the Buck''s Head Inn?
27Do you know what they mean?
27Do you know where he is?
27Do you know who that woman was?
27Do you know?
27Do you like me, or do you respect me?
27Do you now?
27Do you now?
27Do you remember when I carried you fainting in my arms into the King''s Arms, in Casterbridge? 27 Do you think the barn is safe?"
27Farmer Boldwood?
27Farmer Oak-- and nobody else? 27 Father''s so old that''a ca n''t mind his age, can ye, father?"
27Fearful, did you say?
27Frank, dearest, is that you?
27Gabriel, will you stay on with me?
27Go, indeed-- what folly will you say next? 27 Got a pianner?"
27Has William Smallbury returned?
27Has n''t William Smallbury been to Casterbridge?
27Have I hurt you, mate?
27Have n''t I?
27Have ye heard any more about that?
27Have ye heard the news that''s all over parish?
27Have you any money?
27Have you been to ask them?
27Have you brought your flute?
27Have you done anything?
27Have you heard a different story at all?'' 27 Have''em again?"
27He got so much better, that he was quite godly in his later years, was n''t he, Jan?
27He saidWhere are you going, my little man?''"
27He''s an interesting man-- do n''t you think so?
27Hear it? 27 Her young man was a soldier, was he not?"
27How are you this morning, sir?
27How can I help pushing ye when the folk behind push me?
27How can I thank''ee?
27How did Cain come by such a name?
27How did you find me?
27How did you get here from Weatherbury?
27How did you know?
27How do you know that?
27How do you know?
27How do you mean which?
27How far is Shottsford?
27How far is it to Weatherbury?
27How long is it since you have been so afflicted with strong feeling, then?
27How long would it take you to make a shepherd''s crook?
27How long, miss?
27How many more times must I tell you to keep from running so fast when you be eating? 27 How much do I owe you-- that man in the corner-- what''s your name?"
27How much to you?
27How much?
27How old is he?
27How on earth did you come here? 27 How should I know her name?"
27How will you?
27How''s that?
27How-- indeed?
27How?
27I am not, upon the honour of a soldier"But why is it so? 27 I am nothing to either of them, and why should I keep her hair?"
27I beg yer pardon, but had she any young man court- ing her in the parish, ma''am?
27I believe she did.... Ma''am, shall I call Liddy? 27 I ca n''t do what I think would be-- would be----""Right?"
27I do n''t often cry, do I, Lidd? 27 I do n''t throw you off-- indeed, how can I?
27I hope I am not a bold sort of maid-- mannish?
27I hope you do n''t mind that young man''s bad manners in naming your features?
27I may speak to you again on the subject?
27I may think of you?
27I shall not be your mistress much longer, shall I Gabriel?
27I suppose you thought that when I galloped away to Bath that night it was on purpose to be married?
27I suppose you''ve been speaking against her?
27I think God likes us to be good friends, do n''t you?
27I wanted to ask you if the men made any observa- tions on my going behind the sedge with Mr. Boldwood yesterday?
27I wonder if I should have died?
27I wonder what a farmer- woman can want with a harpsichord, dulcimer, pianner, or whatever''tis they d''call it?
27I wonder who that is?
27I''ll thank you to tell me if I''m in the way for Warren''s Malthouse?
27I''m not so sure of that.... She''s a handsome woman, Pennyways, is she not? 27 I?
27I? 27 If I wait that time, will you marry me?
27If she''s-- that,-- what-- am I?
27Is Fanny taken away?
27Is it Sergeant Troy?
27Is it hers, then?
27Is it necessary? 27 Is it she?"
27Is it true that Dicky Hill''s wooden cider- house is pulled down?
27Is she alive?
27Is she altered much?
27Is she downstairs?
27Is she married yet?
27Is she pretty?
27Is that a dark lantern you have? 27 Is that the law?"
27Is that you, Laban?
27Is that you, ma''am?
27Is that you?
27Is the sWord very sharp?
27Just arrived from up the country, I think? 27 Laban?"
27Lots ofem, i daresay.?"
27Made up my mind? 27 Married?"
27Matthew Mark, did you say? 27 Matthew just said----""Matthew Moon, what have you been saying?"
27Miss Everdene and the soldier were walking about together, you say?
27Never mind-- do you agree to my arrangement?
27News? 27 Nor the little one by the stile?
27Now just suppose Mr. Boldwood should ask you-- only just suppose it-- to run away with him, what would you do, ma''am?
27Now, ma''am, and no offence I hope, I ask what dance you would like next?
27O no, ma''am, You the cause of it, ma''am?
27O, Frank, whose is that?
27O, Frank-- do n''t you know me?
27O, Troy, if you like her best, why then did you step in here and injure my happiness?
27O, must I? 27 O-- how is it?
27O-- what''s the matter, what''s the matter, Henery?
27Of course not-- what footsteps are those I hear?
27Oh, how can she be saved now, unless I marry her?
27Oh, is it Gabriel?
27One o''clock this morning?
27Please, sir, do you know at what time Casterbridge Union- house closes at night?
27Really, do ye?
27Rooted? 27 Sergeant Troy?"
27Shall I get you another cup before you start, ma''am?
27Shall I get you something to eat, and something else to put over your head besides that little shawl?
27Shall I tell her I have come to give her up and can not marry her?
27Shall it be to- morrow, Frank?
27She-- who?
27Shepherd would like to hear the pedigree of yer life, father-- would n''t ye, shepherd? 27 Show myself a man of spirit?
27Some of them?
27Some of your uncle''s old ones, ma''am?
27Sure of what?
27Surely you might? 27 Tells you all her affairs?"
27Ten and twopence halfpenny is the sum put down to you, I see?
27That sum to include everything?
27The next matter is, have you heard anything of Fanny?
27The spree is all in her honour, is n''t it-- hey?
27Them under the hedge?
27Then they think I am in my bedroom?
27There will hardly be time, ma''am, will there?
27There''s a chance yet; but I could n''t stay in town any longer-- after seeing him too, So Laban-- Laban is here, is n''t he?
27This is the second time you have pretended to dismiss me; and what''s the use o''it?
27This may be called Fort meeting Feeble, hey, Boldwood?
27Try to think him a good man, wo n''t you, dear Liddy?
27Very well then, Cainey Ball to be under- shepherd And you quite understand your duties? 27 Well, Laban, will you stay on?"
27Well, Shepherd Oak, and how''s lambing this year, if I mid say it?
27Well, have you seen him?
27Well, suppose I do want it for races?
27Well, what about Fanny?
27Well, what besides?
27Well, what did you see besides?
27Well, what do you mean?
27Well, what is it, Liddy?
27Well, what''s the message, Joseph?
27Well-- what have you come for?
27Well-- what?
27Well-- who gave it you, Teddy?
27Well?
27Well?
27What about?
27What did he do?
27What did he say?
27What did she die from?
27What did they say?
27What do you do on the farm?
27What do you mean?
27What do you say, Samway?
27What do you see?
27What does this mean? 27 What for?"
27What has been done?
27What have you been doing?
27What have you been saying about her?
27What have you to say as your reason?
27What is her name?
27What is it for?
27What is it makes you cry so, ma''am; has anything hurt you?
27What is it you are in doubt about, men?
27What is it? 27 What is it?"
27What is it?
27What is the matter?
27What kind of a person is he?
27What makes you think he has gone there?
27What may your age be, malter?
27What must I say?
27What shall I put?
27What sort of a man is this Sergeant Troy?
27What sort of a place is this to live at, and what sort of a mis''ess is she to work under?
27What way? 27 What woman is that?"
27What''s a- brewing, Henrey?
27What''s the matter, in God''s name? 27 What''s the matter?"
27What''s to be done?
27What''s yer hurry then, Laban?
27What, Beauty, and drag you after me? 27 What, did you think I should break in?"
27What, found out stealing anything?
27What, have n''t you a watch, miss?
27What, then?
27What-- that about Sergeant Troy being seen, d''ye mean, souls?
27What?
27What?
27What?
27What?
27What?
27Whatever IS going on, ma''am?
27Whatever is the matter, men?
27Whatever is the matter?
27When are you going from here?
27When did you say we must be at the door-- three o''clock?
27Where be ye trading o''t to to- day, then, Joseph?
27Where did you find''em?
27Where is Oak staying?
27Where is he gone? 27 Where is she?"
27Where is your master the farmer?
27Where''s the woman?
27Where?
27Where?
27Which pair?
27Which way have they gone, I wonder?
27Which, poor Fanny?
27Which?
27White as a lily? 27 Who are you speaking of?"
27Who are you, then, who can so well afford to despise opinion?
27Who did you try?
27Who has?
27Who is he? 27 Who is she?"
27Who is there?
27Who''s been telling you I''m clever?
27Who''s farm were you upon last?
27Who''s t''other man, then?
27Who''s there?
27Who, mem?
27Whose shepherd is he?
27Whose sweetheart did you say, Joseph?
27Why could you think such a thing necessary?
27Why did Troy not leave my treasure alone?
27Why did n''t you say so afore, then?
27Why did the base- players finish their game so suddenly?
27Why do n''t I?
27Why does n''t Mrs. Coggan go to the door?
27Why not ask him softer like? 27 Why not write to her?
27Why not, ma''am?
27Why should he inquire about Fanny?
27Why should he?
27Why should it be over so soon? 27 Why should we, miss?"
27Why wo n''t you have me?
27Why, pray?
27Why, ye''ve hardly had strength of eye enough to look in our young mis''ess''s face, so I hear, Joseph?
27Why? 27 Why?"
27Why?
27Why?
27Why?
27Why?
27Will you confine your words to that one point? 27 Will you tell Miss Everdene that somebody would be glad to speak to her?"
27Will you turn, Gabriel, and let me hold the shears?
27Would you be good enough to untie me and let me out? 27 Yes""To- morrow?"
27Yes, eight years-- and is it wrong?
27You are Farmer Oak, are you not?
27You are not a Weatherbury man?
27You do give it?
27You have the permission of the officers?
27You knew I should, did you not?
27You know perhaps what I long to say?
27You saw there were no other tracks?
27You see the artfulness? 27 You''ll marry me between five and six years hence?"
27Your ricks are all covered before this time?
27knitting?
27where''s the key of the granary?
27''And you''ll not-- press me-- about anything more-- if I say in five or six years?"
27-- Hullo, who''s that?"
27-- Shall I hear every word you say?"
27-- You want some more sheaves?"
27-- and are you?
27-- and how did she come to die?''
27-- it is, when shall we be married, Frank?"
27-- really?"
27-- then she has not been staying there as a regular inmate?"
27-- you I mean, Gabriel Oak?"
27-- you two alone?"
27... Just eye my features, and see if the tell- tale blood overheats me much, neighbours?"
27A man came from the gate and said through the fog, which hung between them like blown flour--"Is that Poorgrass with the corpse?"
27After all, how could a cheerful wearer of skirts be permanently offended with the man?
27Am I any worse for breaking the third of that Terrible Ten than you for breaking the ninth?"
27And Frank, when will it be?"
27And a good many others do n''t; for we should surely have been told more about it if it had been true-- do n''t you think so, ma''am?"
27And did you love him, miss?"
27And do n''t you know that a woman who loves at all thinks nothing of perjury when it is balanced against her love?
27And how do she play?"
27And how is it with you to- day, malter?"
27And is he really come home, miss?"
27And they say that she''ve not so much as spoke to him since they were at Greenhill Fair: but what can folk believe o''t?
27And where be ye trading o''t to now, shepherd?"
27And why then did you come here again?"
27And will you speak to me for these few weeks of my stay?"
27And you can mind the old well that used to be in the middle of the place?
27Anybody married or engaged, born or dead?"
27Are they satisfactory women?"
27Are you a woman yourself?"
27At length Oak said, I''ve not seen you- i mean spoken to you-- since ever so long, have I?"
27Ay, another time ye were lost by Lambing- Down Gate, were n''t ye, Joseph?"
27Ay,"How do you know?"
27Bathsheba burst out:"O Liddy, are you such a simpleton?
27Bathsheba did not speak, and he mechanically repeated in an abashed and sad voice,--"Do you want a shepherd, ma''am?"
27Bathsheba was decidedly disconcerted,"Well, then, why did you come and disturb me?"
27Bathsheba, suppose you had real complete proof that you are what, in fact, you are-- a widow-- would you repair the old wrong to me by marrying me?"
27Be ye any of Boldwood''s workfolk?"
27Besides, we are not engaged in the usual sense, are we?
27Boldwood added, after an interval of silence:"What did you ask, Oak?"
27Boldwood approached Gabriel, and as Oak tied the neckerchief the farmer went on feverishly--"Does a woman keep her promise, Gabriel?"
27Boldwood mistook his confusion: sensitive persons are always ready with their"Is it I?"
27Boldwood?"
27Boldwood?"
27Boldwood?"
27Boldwood?"
27But could she go on to Liddy''s and leave things to take their course?
27But do n''t talk of it-- seven or six years-- where may we all be by that time?"
27But he feared to bring distress- ing memories back, and interrupted himself with:"Were you going into church?"
27But is it wrong?
27But not a man of spirit?
27But since the case is so sad and oddlike, why do n''t ye give the conditional promise?
27But since we do n''t exactly know what he is, why not behave as if he MIGHT be bad, simply for your own safety?
27But surely you must have been told by everybody of what everybody notices?
27But what''s yer hurry, Joseph?
27But why should such a fair and dutiful girl have such an aversion to her father''s sex?"
27But would n''t it have been different, or should n''t I have heard more, or would n''t they have found him, Liddy?
27CHAPTER XLIII FANNY''S REVENGE"DO you want me any longer ma''am?"
27Ca n''t my hair be brushed down a little flatter?
27Ca n''t you read riddles?
27Ca n''t you see?
27Can I do anything to help?
27Can I?"
27Can a man fooled to utter heart- burning find a reason for being merry> If I have lost, how can I be as if I had won?
27Can you deny it-- I ask, can you deny it?"
27Can you still go on re- minding me?"
27Casterbridge Union?"
27Concerning the flock?
27Could it be that of the only venturesome woman in the parish-- Bathsheba?
27Could she have been entrapped?
27D''ye know if she''s got any other young man hanging about her at all?"
27D''ye think I''d turn after that?
27Dark?
27Dialogues followed, more or lessin the subjoined for:--"Where do you come from?"
27Did n''t you think it might be me?"
27Did ye know''en, shepherd-- a bachelor- man?"
27Do Ye know of anybody who wants one?"
27Do n''t deny me the happiness of wearing it for my sake?
27Do n''t you yet know enough of me to see through that miserable denial of mine?
27Do not quite refuse?"
27Do ye foller me?"
27Do you hear?"
27Do you hear?"
27Do you hear?"
27Do you heed me, neighbours?
27Do you know at all who he could be?"
27Do you know?
27Do you think of going there to- night?"
27Do you understand me?
27Father, what sort of people were mis''ess''father and mother?"
27Fifteen months nearly have passed since he vanished, and is there anything so wonderful in an engagement of little more than five years?"
27For ye see, shepherd, though''tis very well for a woman, dang it all,''tis awkward for a man like him, poor feller?"
27Gabriel shouted in his ear,"where''s your thatching- beetle and rick- stick and spars?"
27Going in?"
27Had he a moustache-- no whiskers or beard?"
27Had he done this intentionally, yet contrived to make his death appear like an accident?
27Had n''t I the first place beside you?
27Has there been any change in mistress this afternoon?"
27Have I ever allowed the toe of pride to be lifted against my hinder parts without groaning manfully that I question the right to do so?
27Have n''t you been almost mine once already?
27Have you ever seen the play of"Turpin''s Ride to York?"
27Have you found out whether she has encouraged him?"
27Have you run me through?
27Have you the registrar''s certificate?"
27He carelessly said,"And am I to have anything now?"
27He fur- tively said to a neighbour,"Is Miss Everdene considered handsome?"
27He picked it up-- surely it could not be one of the primroses he had planted?
27He said mechanically,"Ah, why?"
27He smoked on awhile, and then added,"How did she look when you passed by yesterday?"
27Henery said,"and Shepherd Oak do n''t mind his youth?"
27Her mouth-- were the lips red or pale, plump or creased?
27How came he to say that?"
27How can I expect more?
27How can you have the cruel heart to repeat what they say?
27How come you to leave your last farm?"
27How did she get here?"
27How did this remarkable reappearance effect itself when he was supposed by many to be at the bottom of the sea?
27How do you know it would suit me?
27How long has she lived there?"
27How much is that?"
27How shall I get you to see how advan- tageous it will be to you to secure her at once?"
27How was I to know that what is a pastime to all other men was death to you?
27How would the farm go on with nobody to mind it but a woman?
27How?"
27However, does a woman keep a promise, not to marry, but to enter on an engagement to marry at some time?
27However, my son William must have knowed the very man afore us-- did n''t ye, Billy, afore ye left Norcombe?"
27I am so distressed about it-- can we save it any- how?
27I fancy I heard his voice late last night; and so, knowing something was wrong----""Is he at home?"
27I have never done you a single kindness, and why should you be so kind to me?"
27I inquire that query boldly?"
27I lived through the summers, did n''t I?
27I suppose ye''ll say next I be no age at all to speak of?"
27If she were to go to him now at once and say no more than these few words,!What is the truth of the story?"
27In the course of the afternoon she said to Liddy, Who had been informed of the occurrence,"What was the colour of poor Fanny Robin''s hair?
27In the evening Troy said, suddenly--"Bathsheba, could you let me have twenty pounds?"
27Indeed it is; how can you tell such a story, Liddy?
27Is he with you?"
27Is it true?"
27Is n''t it, Joseph?"
27Is that she there?"
27Is there any late knot in fashion, Oak?"
27It ought to be something extraordinary, ought it not, Liddy?
27Jacob had served twice seven years for Rachel: what were six for such a woman as this?
27Laban Tall, you''ll stay on working for me?"
27Let''s look into Warren''s for a few minutes first, shall us, neighbours?"
27Liddy looking at it said,--"Did you ever find out, miss, who you are going to marry by means of the Bible and key?,"Do n''t be so foolish, Liddy.
27Liddy then ventured to add:"You said when I first found you that you might never go home again-- you did n''t mean it, ma''am?"
27May I ask what dreadful thing it is that has happened between you and him?"
27May I call in the evening, or will you walk along with me o''Sundays?
27Might I not?"
27Now after that revelation of how the land lies with Bathsheba,''twould be a mistake to kill me, would it not?"
27Now whose was it?
27Now you are not afraid, are you?
27Now, before all the work- folk here assembled, can you swear to your words as the shep- herd asks ye?"
27Now, dear Frank, when shall it be?"
27Now, do you see the matter in a new light?"
27Now, is n''t it preposterous, Gabriel?
27Now, will you do this?"
27O my darling, my darling, why do you keep me in suspense like this?"
27O sir, will you not kindly forgive me, and look at it cheerfully?"
27Oak is head man still, is n''t he?"
27Oak?"
27Oak?"
27Pennyways snuffed the candle, and then looked up and deliberately inspected Troy"You''ve made up your mind to go then?"
27Perhaps it is improper?
27Really forgotten?
27Rich and gentlemanly, what does he care?"
27Said that, did he?"
27Samway whispered,"have ye heard this strange tale?"
27Seeing she made no reply, he said,"Do you read French?"
27Seeing she turned a little aside, he said,"What, are you afraid of me?"
27Shall I beg to a man who has begged to me?"
27Shall I go and say you''ve come?"
27She breathed; and then said mournfully:"O what shall I do?
27She fleed at him like a cat-- never such a tomboy as she is-- of course I speak with closed doors?"
27She interrupted with--"l wonder if Fanny is gone by this time?"
27She said more distinctly,"Will you leave me alone now?
27She suddenly exclaimed in an impulsive and excited whisper, Have you heard anything strange said of Fanny?"
27She then broke out--"I may ask, I suppose, where in particular my unworthiness lies?
27She was no otherwise than a girl mind, and how could she tell what the man was made of?
27Should he go on, and care nothing?
27Suppose we walk about in this wood?"
27Surely I can do something?"
27Surely you can say to me as much as this, you will have me back again should circumstances permit?
27Tall appeared, and joined them"Well?"
27Temperance Miller-- oh, here''s another, Soberness-- both women I suppose?"
27That was n''t too strong for her, say?"
27That''s it, is it not?
27The dialogue went on:"How did you come here?"
27The door opened, and a deep voice said--"Is Miss Everdene at home?"
27The poor woman is dead, is n''t she, and what''s your hurry?"
27The question of which was right being tacitly waived by the company, Jan went on meditatively:--"And he''s the fearfullest man, bain''t ye, Joseph?
27The woman''s past us-- time spent upon her is throwed away: why should we hurry to do what''s not required?
27Then how had Troy got there?
27There''s nothing remarkable in my saying so, is there?
27Those of the farmers with whom she had no dealings by far the greater part) were continually asking each other,"Who is she?"
27To speak like a book I once read, wet weather is the narrative, and fine days are the episodes, of our country''s history; now, is n''t that true?"
27Troy been in to- night?"
27Troy says so?
27Troy, you will marry again some day?"
27Troy-- you are not going?"
27Troy?
27Troy?
27Troy?"
27Troy?"
27Turpin was a real man, was he not?"
27Twenty pounds?
27Understand?
27V"How do I look to- night, Liddy?"
27VII"How does this cover me?"
27Was he mad-- had there been a quarrel?
27Was his life so valuable to him after all?
27Was she really beautiful?
27Well, he''s turned out neck and crop, and my question is, who''s going to be baily now?"
27Well, now then"-- she looked into the book--"Joseph Poorgrass, are you there?"
27Well, what is there besides?
27Well, will you let me work in your fields?"
27Were n''t I stale in wedlock afore ye were out of arms?
27What are they?"
27What are you doing?
27What did it matter about her not knowing it?
27What did you say that for?"
27What difference does it make whose sweetheart she is, since she ca n''t be yours?"
27What do you think I have to say, then?
27What does that mean?"
27What girl are you?"
27What had become of Boldwood?
27What is it like?
27What is it to me what he is?
27What put that into your head?"
27What shall I do to pass the heavy time away?"
27What should she do now?
27What then?"
27What was the colour of Fanny Robin''s hair?"
27What was this the light revealed to him?
27What were his prospects that he should be so chary of running risk, when important and urgent labour could not be carried on without such risk?
27What will ye say next?"
27What''s that prancing?
27What''s this?
27What''s to be done?"
27What, then, were you following me?"
27Whatever shall I do?"
27When did she pass Weatherbury?"
27Where are you going to- night?
27Where are your pleasant words all gone-- your earnest hope to be able to love me?
27Where could she find such a friend?
27Where does he get his airs?
27Where had he come from?
27Where is your firm conviction that you would get to care for me very much?
27Which seal shall we use?
27Whither should he go?"
27Who am I, then, to be treated like that?
27Who can he have?"
27Who sent you-- anybody?"
27Who''s the fool now?"
27Who?"
27Whose should it be?
27Why could n''t you have passed by me that night, and said nothing?
27Why did n''t he stop at the gate?
27Why did n''t you write to me?"
27Why did''t he win you away before, when nobody would have been grieved?
27Why do n''t you sit upstairs, ma''am?"
27Why do you say that?"
27Why had it been so mysteriously managed?
27Why is it?"
27Why must you meet her?"
27Why should I read dismal books, indeed?
27Why should she have done that strange thing?
27Why should she have imagined him?
27Why should you say that?"
27Why ye know I would n''t harm a worm-- no, not one underground worm?"
27Why, Gabriel, what are you going to do that for?"
27Why, my boy Jacob there and your father were sworn brothers-- that they were sure-- were n''t ye, Jacob?"
27Will it be by banns or license?"
27Will you come and see me to- morrow, at Mrs. Twills''s, in North Street?
27Will you come to the house?"
27Will you kindly show me how to fix them properly?"
27Will you let the matter rest now?
27Will you marry me?
27Will you now return, please?"
27Will you read this a moment?
27Will you sit down, please?
27Would Miss Everdene sing to them the song she always sang so charmingly--"The Banks of Allan Water"-- before they went home?
27Would you have had me a woman of clay when you paid me that furthest, highest compliment a man can pay a woman-- telling her he loves her?
27Would you mind going on and leaving me?
27Yer teeth bain''t half gone yet; and what''s a old man''s standing if se be his teeth bain''t gone?
27Yielding women?"
27You all know, neighbours, what a man I be, and how I come down with my powerful words when my pride is boiling wi''scarn?"
27You are glad to see me, Frank?"
27You are quite sure you will not hurt me?"
27You are sure''twas she?
27You bain''t well, ma''am, surely?
27You can mind, Jacob?
27You do n''t repent because you already love somebody better than you love me, do you?"
27You have got quite cynical lately-- how is it?
27You have never seen it played, I suppose?"
27You know''em, Jan?
27You''ll burn it, wo n''t you, Frank?"
27and I said,"To Miss Everdene''s please,"and he said,"She is a staid woman, is n''t she, my little man?"
27and will you shake them in for me?"
27attested Jan must have a wonderful talented constitution to be able to live so long, must n''t he, neighbours?"
27do you?"
27exclaimed she, disconcerted,"how long have you been here?"
27he added, making move- ments associated with states of mind rather than body;"we wish we were, do n''t we, neighbours?"
27he said, with unreal carelessness,"if you know whose writing this is?"
27is it kind to me to throw my mistake in my face?
27is it?"
27must n''t a lady move an inch from her door without being dogged like a thief?"
27said Gabriel restlessly,"can you swear in the most awful form that the woman you saw was Miss Everdene?"
27said Gabriel, impatiently,"what did you see, Cain?"
27said Gabriel,"that I only stepped ath''art to say that a heavy rain is sure to fall soon, and that something should be done to protect the ricks?"
27said Oak, sternly,"why will you run so fast and lose your breath so?
27said Troy, as if inspired by a recollec- tion"do you know if insanity has ever appeared in Mr. Boldwood''s family?"
27said she, though with- out pulling it away"But I suppose you are thinking you would like to kiss it?
27said she,"will you move again, please, and let Mr. Boldwood come there?"
27she inquired quietly,"where are you going?"
27she said, quickly"What do you regret?"
27take it careless- like, shepherd and your time will come tired?"
27what do you want here?"
27what have you been doing bringing trouble upon me in this way?
27what in the name of fortune did you pretend to be Laban for?"
27who for, miss?"
27who''s dead?"
27would you like to?"
3469I shall never have a wife,he said,"so why should I want a house to put her in?"
3469The gent who''s turned music- man?
3469''A bad man?
3469''A matter of fifteen shillings, then, I suppose?''
3469''A regular what?''
3469''A schoolmistress?''
3469''A young man?''
3469''According to my idea you have one, but according to your own you have not; he does not love you, but you love him-- is that how it is?''
3469''Affair?
3469''Ah, what was that?''
3469''Ah, why is that?''
3469''Altered them again?
3469''Am I to take this as a formal notice?''
3469''An old friend of yours, is he not, Mrs. Petherwin?
3469''And Joey?''
3469''And begin again next year?''
3469''And do you do the same with Picotee?''
3469''And father, too, must he go down the steps?''
3469''And going back alone?''
3469''And have you any theory on the vexed question of servant- government?''
3469''And he is not respectable, you mean?
3469''And how do you like London society?''
3469''And remarkable bright in her manner?
3469''And that figure of fashion standing there is a widow woman, so I hear?''
3469''And that she is of no family?''
3469''And that you are sorry your name has been published in connection with it?''
3469''And then shall we be able to reach Anglebury in time for the up mail- train to Southampton?''
3469''And what are you to do?''
3469''And what more can I wish to know?
3469''And what''s the young woman''s name, make so bold, hostler?''
3469''And why should n''t we?''
3469''And would you agree to what I asked just now?''
3469''And would you marry any woman off- hand, without being thoroughly acquainted with her circumstances?''
3469''And you think the verses may tend to misrepresent your character as a gay and rapturous one, when it is not?''
3469''And you told him, I suppose?''
3469''And you will not go to town from Easter to Lammastide, as other noble ladies do?''
3469''And you would like it too, would you not, Picotee?''
3469''And you''ve got the doctor from Sandbourne aboard, to tend her?''
3469''Any other passengers?''
3469''Any rejoicings at the Court to- day?''
3469''Are you Miss Chickerel?''
3469''Are you better, too?''
3469''Are you better?''
3469''Are you not ashamed?''
3469''Are you the parish clerk?''
3469''Artful dogs-- who would have thought it?''
3469''At what time will she hand the note?''
3469''At whose house did you meet him?''
3469''Badly used?''
3469''Baint I doing of it?''
3469''Because of aunt''s letter from Rouen-- have you seen it?''
3469''Berta, why did we come down here?''
3469''Berta,''said the soft voice of Picotee again,''may I come in?''
3469''Between whom?''
3469''Bold, forward, you mean, I suppose?''
3469''But I ought to favour him just a little, poor thing?
3469''But I thought honesty was the best policy?''
3469''But can we believe--?''
3469''But if I can not get at him, how can I manage him in these ways you speak of?''
3469''But is he not a-- very extraordinary man?''
3469''But is he there?''
3469''But is it not rather too brilliant in colour-- blue and red together, like that?
3469''But it must operate in this gentleman?''
3469''But my father and friends?''
3469''But say it shall be an appointment?''
3469''But surely you have not written every one of those ribald verses?''
3469''But what is it so dreadful?''
3469''But why did--''''Why did I love her?''
3469''But you can name the earliest day?''
3469''But you will give dinners, and travel, and go to see his friends, and have them to see you?''
3469''But you will see poor Berta?
3469''But, Berta, you are not going to marry any stranger who may turn up?''
3469''But,''said Picotee,''if you let lodgings, wo n''t the gentlemen and ladies know it?''
3469''But,''said her mother, aghast,''why not write more poems and sell''em?''
3469''Can you sit with me a few minutes, father?''
3469''Can you tell me the way to Arrowthorne Lodge?''
3469''Chap in the gaiters?
3469''Chickerel, what''s the matter-- are you ill?''
3469''Cold, sir?''
3469''Conger eel?''
3469''Could it not be sent for?''
3469''Damn it all, ca n''t one of you show me?''
3469''Dare I ask that it may be this week?''
3469''Did I hear you say that you were going to Cherbourg and Rouen?''
3469''Did I not see a tear there?
3469''Did he describe him?''
3469''Did he inquire for me?''
3469''Did she look troubled?''
3469''Did she?
3469''Did they fight?''
3469''Did they name me particularly?''
3469''Did you arrange it so?
3469''Did you educate her?''
3469''Did you enjoy the sight?''
3469''Did you ever hear such audacity?
3469''Did you know anything of Mrs. Petherwin until her name leaked out in connection with these ballads?''
3469''Did you never hear anything of Lord Mountclere when we lived at Sandbourne?''
3469''Did you speak?''
3469''Did you tell Mr. Julian that the injured gentleman was possibly Lord Mountclere, and that he was coming here?''
3469''Did you tell me you had seen him before that time?''
3469''Did you, indeed-- really wish to see me?''
3469''Do n''t you really know who he is?''
3469''Do you expect authors to cry over their own words?''
3469''Do you feel it to be a matter upon which you will congratulate her?''
3469''Do you know her?''
3469''Do you know in what part of the ruins the lecture is to be given?''
3469''Do you know that lady''s name?''
3469''Do you know the Petherwins''present address?''
3469''Do you know whose yacht it is?''
3469''Do you love him?''
3469''Do you mean the Julians?''
3469''Do you mean to say that the lady who sat here at dinner at the same time that Lord Mountclere was present, is your daughter?''
3469''Do you see that?''
3469''Do you think Berta will be angry with me?
3469''Do you think Lord Mountclere has reached home by this time?''
3469''Do you think of trying to see Ethelberta before you leave?''
3469''Do you want to see if you have dressed her properly?''
3469''Does Mr. Julian come to see her very often?''
3469''Does father know anything of this?''
3469''Does our way lie through the town?''
3469''Does she live here alone?''
3469''Does she live here?''
3469''Doubt me?
3469''Except Sol and Dan, if they get a job in London?
3469''Father, ought we not to go on at once to Ethelberta''s, instead of waiting?''
3469''Father-- what, you going?''
3469''For Heaven''s sake, Ethelberta,''he exclaimed with great excitement,''where did you meet with such a terrible experience as that?''
3469''Get at him?
3469''Good heavens, what does that mean?''
3469''Good, is it not?''
3469''Goodness, aunt; why did you?''
3469''Grieved?''
3469''Had he?
3469''Has Lord Mountclere said it must be so private?
3469''Has Picotee left Sandbourne entirely?''
3469''Has anybody been beating you?''
3469''Has anything happened to her?''
3469''Has anything happened?
3469''Has anything serious happened?''
3469''Has everything gone right with the house this evening?''
3469''Has your life really changed so much?''
3469''Have ye zeed anybody?''
3469''Have you anything going to Knollsea this morning that I can get a lift in?''
3469''Have you been able to bestow a thought on the question between us?
3469''Have you got a young man, too, Berta?''
3469''Have you prepared for us, as I directed?''
3469''Have you seen what the London Light says about them-- one of the finest things I have ever read in the way of admiration?''
3469''He asked if my mistress was the popular Mrs. Petherwin?
3469''How can it be?
3469''How can you shun him?
3469''How could I help thinking so?
3469''How could you allow such an absurd thing to happen?''
3469''How did she come to be your daughter?''
3469''How do you mean to punish him?''
3469''How do you really stand with her?''
3469''How have I acted?''
3469''How long are letters going to Bloomsbury?''
3469''How long have you been with her?''
3469''How many are there now?''
3469''How shall I know which?''
3469''How shall we manage all about that?
3469''How the deuce am I to know which is north- west in a strange place, with no sun to tell me?''
3469''How will he be able to carry out that, my dear child?''
3469''How-- in what way do you mean?''
3469''I can not doubt his faith, and I can not doubt hers; and yet how can I keep doubting them both?''
3469''I expect you got to know the lord you were to meet?''
3469''I have always understood that that was written by a dissenter as a satire upon the Church?''
3469''I hope sincerely that I never said anything to disturb you?''
3469''I presume you mean to write more poems?''
3469''I suppose she often comes to see you?''
3469''I suppose they will be off somewhere, and she is busy getting ready?''
3469''I suppose they''ve come out of some noble city a long way herefrom?''
3469''I suppose we can not very well talk here, after all?''
3469''I suppose we shall go together till we get near Melchester?''
3469''I suppose you heard the other news that arrived in town to- day, m''m?''
3469''I suppose you would not like me to go with you like this?''
3469''I think the bracelet the prettiest of all the presents he brought to- day-- do you?''
3469''I wonder if she has gone through half she says?
3469''I wonder who the girl is, to come to such a place in this weather?
3469''In love with her?--Smitten down?--Done for?''
3469''In supposing Mr. Ladywell to be a great friend of yours?''
3469''Indigestion?
3469''Is Chickerel going?''
3469''Is Mr. Julian going to call here?''
3469''Is Mrs. Chickerel living here as well?''
3469''Is Mrs. Petherwin at home?''
3469''Is he the man you punished the week before last by forbidding him to come?''
3469''Is he very well?''
3469''Is he waiting?''
3469''Is it a covenant?''
3469''Is it a large party?''
3469''Is it about Berta that you''ve come?''
3469''Is it he?''
3469''Is it right for us to go, considering you are to be married to- morrow?''
3469''Is not this Arrowthorne Lodge?''
3469''Is she a poetess?''
3469''Is she going to return?''
3469''Is she happy with him?''
3469''Is that Arrowthorne Lodge?''
3469''Is that really the fact?''
3469''Is that the yacht which has been lying at Knollsea for the last few days?''
3469''It is never hung?''
3469''It is very kind of you, Neigh-- upon my word it is-- very kind; and of course I appreciate the delicacy which-- which--''''What''s kind?''
3469''It makes you care not a bit about him, does it not, Berta?''
3469''It seems that he must have been searching for us, or rather for you?''
3469''It would scarcely be worth going to the expense of taking me, would it?''
3469''John?''
3469''Ladywell, how came this Mrs. Petherwin to think of such a queer trick as telling romances, after doing so well as a poet?''
3469''Lord Mountclere is still alive and well, I am told?''
3469''Lord Mountclere is very kind, is he not?
3469''Lord Mountclere''s?''
3469''Lord Mountclere?''
3469''Lord Mountclere?''
3469''Lord Mountclere?''
3469''MY DEAR MRS. PETHERWIN,--You do not mean to be so cruel as to break your plighted word to me?
3469''Marriage?
3469''May I ask where?''
3469''May I?''
3469''Meet you?
3469''Men of any note?''
3469''Menlove,''said the lady,''did you notice if any gentleman observed and followed me when I left the hotel to go for a walk this evening?''
3469''Miss Gruchette attends to the birds, and two servants attend to Miss Gruchette?''
3469''Miss Gruchette is here to keep the fowls?''
3469''More know Tom Fool-- what rambling old canticle is it you say, hostler?''
3469''My?
3469''Neigh, who is that charming woman with her head built up in a novel way even for hair architecture-- the one with her back towards us?''
3469''Never mind-- can''t I go down into the kitchen with you?''
3469''Never shall be?
3469''Nobody?''
3469''Not at all.--Why will that be?''
3469''Not done for a joke?
3469''Not for me?''
3469''Not on the stage?''
3469''Nothing?
3469''Now did you ever consider what a power De Foe''s manner would have if practised by word of mouth?
3469''Now do you see the truth?''
3469''Now, how do you think this bonnet will do?
3469''Now, where''s the inn?''
3469''O no, ma''am-- how could I?''
3469''O, did n''t you know that was here?
3469''O, how did it happen, and who is to blame?''
3469''O, is that the woman at last?''
3469''O, what''s my lordlin''s name, make so bold, then?''
3469''O, you are here, Picotee?
3469''O, you do not know her?
3469''Or before?''
3469''Or carrier?''
3469''Or even three hundred?''
3469''Or five hundred for both?''
3469''Perhaps the mist prevented Mademoiselle hearing me distinctly?''
3469''Perhaps we had better go to some room-- the nearest inn will answer the purpose, wo n''t it?''
3469''Perhaps you remember seeing him at the Christmas dance at Wyndway?''
3469''Picotee-- what brought you here?''
3469''Pig''s fry?''
3469''Query, how long will she wait for him( for it is a man to a certainty)?''
3469''Shall I direct it to be put on her table with this one?''
3469''Shall I leave you?
3469''Shall I run round?''
3469''Shall we ask Joey?
3469''Shall we get to Anglebury by nine?
3469''Shall we go across again?''
3469''Shall we go down to the shore and see what the night is like?''
3469''Shall we have any difficulty in getting into Knollsea Bay?''
3469''Shall we not interfere with you-- your plans for keeping up your connections?''
3469''She has refused you, then?''
3469''She shall never return-- never?''
3469''So the Colonel said,"Do you know her?"
3469''Sol Chickerel?''
3469''Sol?''
3469''Surely that can not be Lord Mountclere?''
3469''Surely that''s a carriage?''
3469''Surely you do n''t live by your shop?''
3469''Tea is a great meal with us here-- you will join us, will you not?''
3469''That charming woman with the shining bunch of hair and convolvuluses?''
3469''That makes no difference to us, does it?''
3469''The dashing widow looks very well, does she not?''
3469''The elderly gentleman?''
3469''The lodgers, of course, do n''t know the relationship between yourself and the rest of the people in the house?''
3469''The man who handed us on board-- didn''t I see him speaking to you this morning?''
3469''The sender, then?''
3469''Then did you hear any gentleman arrive here by the late train last night?''
3469''Then do n''t you want him, Berta?''
3469''Then if Gwendoline is to be your cook, she must soon give notice at her present place?''
3469''Then it is true?''
3469''Then she holds the reins?''
3469''Then where did she get her manners and education?
3469''Then where is Arrowthorne Lodge, please?''
3469''Then you do n''t mean to help her?''
3469''Then you own you do not feel so ardent as you seem in your book?''
3469''Then you will wait for her by the firs?
3469''Then you''ll be sure to put into Knollsea, if you can?''
3469''This week?
3469''To Westminster Abbey?''
3469''To dine there, Berta?
3469''To- morrow?
3469''Walpole''s?''
3469''Was I?
3469''Was it you who said that?''
3469''Was the young lady who first inquired for my family the same one who said,"Let''s have him by all means?"''
3469''Was there anything so wonderful in the beginning, then?''
3469''We really may?''
3469''Wedding?''
3469''Well, I hope, now the wind''s in that quarter, we shall ha''e a little more fine weather-- hey, hostler?''
3469''Well, Lord Mountclere?''
3469''Well, it is no matter, father, for why should we want to trouble her?
3469''Well, what did you think of my poems?''
3469''Well, what do you think of her, Faith?''
3469''Well, what''s the matter?''
3469''Well-- if you are?''
3469''Well?''
3469''Well?''
3469''What English gentleman could that have been?''
3469''What Lady Mountclere do they mean?''
3469''What are your plans to be?''
3469''What be ye a talking o''?''
3469''What can I do?
3469''What can the girl be thinking of?''
3469''What can you do?''
3469''What d''ye tell o''?''
3469''What do you allude to?''
3469''What do you think I have to tell you, Berta?''
3469''What does she wear?''
3469''What does this mean, Ethelberta?''
3469''What have I said to somebody that can be in the least objectionable to you?''
3469''What have we come for, Berta?''
3469''What have you thought?''
3469''What is he doing?''
3469''What is it?''
3469''What is it?''
3469''What is that?''
3469''What is the matter?''
3469''What is the sum?''
3469''What is there only?''
3469''What is this round tower?''
3469''What made you do that, Cornelia?''
3469''What man was that?''
3469''What must I say to him?''
3469''What next?''
3469''What shall I live to see?''
3469''What shall we do now?
3469''What slap- dash jinks may there be going on at Knollsea, then, my sonny?''
3469''What were you going to say?''
3469''What''s Flychett like?''
3469''What''s an appointment?''
3469''What''s that to a man in love?
3469''What''s the good?
3469''What, and can not we pay them?''
3469''What, are you here in office?
3469''What, not know nor- west?
3469''What, that elusive fellow caught at last?''
3469''What-- and do n''t you really want him, Berta?''
3469''What-- did you--?''
3469''What-- has anybody been insulting you?''
3469''What-- have you over- walked yourself, dear?''
3469''What-- is there going to be something interesting?''
3469''What-- not know the sum about the herrings?''
3469''Whatever are those boozy men laughing at, I wonder?''
3469''Whatever have you got as your luggage?''
3469''When did the wedding take place?''
3469''When did you first get to care for him, dear Berta?''
3469''When does she wish you to meet her with the carriage?''
3469''When shall I reach Knollsea by that arrangement?''
3469''When shall I?''
3469''When shall it be?''
3469''When she comes I must run up to mother at once, must I not?''
3469''When?''
3469''Where are we now?''
3469''Where do you say they are going?''
3469''Where do you stay, Lord Mountclere?''
3469''Where is the other Lady Mountclere?''
3469''Where is your sister?''
3469''Where there''s much love there''s little ceremony, did n''t you say just now?''
3469''Where-- to Knollsea?''
3469''Which balcony?''
3469''Which is she?''
3469''Who did you say, sir?''
3469''Who is your daughter?''
3469''Who told you, and how long have you known it?''
3469''Who was this gentlemanly person?''
3469''Who''s that chap in the gaiters and pack at his back, come out of the door but now?''
3469''Who?''
3469''Who?''
3469''Why did he not call last night?''
3469''Why did you choose him?''
3469''Why do n''t you go out?''
3469''Why do you think that, Alfred?''
3469''Why does it mean no marriage?''
3469''Why down in these parts just as you try a man''s soul by the Ten Commandments, you try his head by that there sum-- hey, Sol?''
3469''Why have we come here, dear Berta?''
3469''Why have you chosen Knollsea?''
3469''Why not be a governess as you were?''
3469''Why not go on with your tales at Mayfair Hall?''
3469''Why not talk to me?''
3469''Why not?
3469''Why should you not get that?''
3469''Why strange?''
3469''Why that?''
3469''Why wo n''t it do to continue as you are?
3469''Why would he object?''
3469''Why?
3469''Why?''
3469''Why?''
3469''Why?''
3469''Why?''
3469''Why?''
3469''Widow?''
3469''Will it?''
3469''Will she reappear?''
3469''Will you excuse me for a few moments?''
3469''Will you excuse me one moment?''
3469''Will you find out his address?''
3469''Will you give me an answer there?
3469''Will you give me an answer?''
3469''Will you not be, then, as any other peeress; and shall not I be as any other peeress''s sister?''
3469''Will you seat yourselves here?''
3469''Will you take care that that piece of gossip you mentioned to me is not repeated in this house?
3469''Will you walk slowly on?''
3469''William?''
3469''Wo n''t it do beautiful for Sunday afternoon?''
3469''Wo n''t they see us?''
3469''Would it not be a singular thing for a married woman to do?
3469''Would you be content with a thousand a year for both of us?''
3469''Would you have had her introduce Chickerel to us all round?
3469''Written, I presume you mean, in the Anacreontic measure of three feet and a half-- spondees and iambics?''
3469''Wyndway House; why should the people send for me above all other musicians in the town?''
3469''Yes, why did you love her?''
3469''You are acquainted with Mrs. Petherwin-- I think you are Mr. Ladywell, who painted her portrait last season?''
3469''You are not vexed with me?''
3469''You are quite positive?''
3469''You are quite sure you know between whom the love lies now-- eh?''
3469''You are the lady''s father?''
3469''You be a Knollsea boy: have anything reached your young ears about what''s in the wind there, David Straw?''
3469''You did not come to prevent my marriage?''
3469''You do n''t deny that you tried to escape from recollections you ought to have cherished?
3469''You do n''t wish me to see you safely in the train?''
3469''You girls, come away there, or you''ll be washed off: what need have ye for going so near?''
3469''You going to dine here, are you?''
3469''You mean that if he knew her friends were working- people he would not think of her as a wife?
3469''You must forgive me this once: I can not help-- will you give me permission to make a difficult remark?''
3469''You solemnly promise?
3469''You think your presence would influence your sister-- if you could see her before the wedding?''
3469''You two have not come all the way from Knollsea alone?''
3469''You will come to take care of us, John?
3469''You will come with your sister to see us before you leave?''
3469''You will delay it?''
3469''You will play, will you not, Miss Chickerel?''
3469''You would prefer the blue sea to the trees?''
3469''Your own skill is not like that, is it, Berta?''
3469''Yours is for Mrs. Petherwin?
3469--Her maiden name?
3469--but you do n''t care to hear?''
3469A ROOM IN ENCKWORTH COURT''Are you sure the report is true?''
3469A man could make a meal between them eyes and chin-- eh, hostler?
3469A young lady in the case perhaps, sir?''
3469After a short conversation Mrs. Chickerel said,''You say you want to ask me something?''
3469After being compromised together, why do n''t you close with me?
3469Ah, who shall set us right again?
3469And can any praise be greater than that?''
3469And how are Sol and Dan?
3469And look, who is that funny old man the elderly lady is helping downstairs?''
3469And now what stands in the way?
3469And so you have met this-- this Mr. Julian, and gone for walks with him in evenings, I suppose, just as young men and women do who are courting?''
3469And what do you think I saw?
3469And what was this young widow lady''s maiden name, then, hostler?
3469And you posted the book as I said?''
3469And you, Mr. Neigh, would like to come?
3469And, O, what do you think?
3469Answer me-- do you hear?
3469Are there any handsome ones this time?''
3469Are these men intruders, then?''
3469Are you doing this for my sake?
3469Are you going to tell me anything about him?''
3469Are you not still doubting?''
3469Are you quite sure?''
3469As I was saying, the Colonel said,"Do you know her?"
3469At what time does your train leave?''
3469Before I have finished, how do you know what I am going to say?
3469Between you and whom?''
3469But I suppose she keeps you back so thoroughly that you carry on the old adoration with as much vigour as if it were a new fancy every time?''
3469But I suppose we had better go on now?''
3469But I suppose you get across to this station and go by rail?''
3469But I suppose you wished to hear of Ethelberta?''
3469But are you disposed to tell me that writer''s name?''
3469But could she really set in train events, which, if not abortive, would take her to the altar with Viscount Mountclere?
3469But did I hear you say"We,"Neigh?
3469But how?
3469But perhaps your meaning is, that if your brother were to have a son, you would lose your heir- presumptive title to the cor''net of Mountclere?
3469But please to go and make that inquiry, will you, Menlove?''
3469But shall we clamber out upon those shining blocks of rock, and find some of the little yellow shells that are in the crevices?
3469But surely you guess, Picotee?
3469But surely you started, Neigh, when you suspected it just this moment?''
3469But were you careful about what you said, and did you see Menlove?
3469But what Stygian sound was this?
3469But what if your fellow- sufferer is not only in another such a hole, but in the same one?''
3469But what''s that?
3469But who is the young woman?''
3469But who remembered this save the builder and his crew?
3469But who was to dream that he would arrange to leave it at such an unearthly time of the morning at this dark season of the year?
3469But who''s to get at her?''
3469But you were asking me about her?
3469But you will come in, Sol?''
3469But you will meet me at Anglebury, as I wish, and go on to Melchester with me?''
3469But, having once put my hand to the plough, how shall I turn back?''
3469But, seeing that Ethelberta did not smile, she turned the subject, and added docilely:''Did you come up for me to do anything?
3469By what means were these things to be ensured to them if her skill in bread- winning should fail her?
3469Can it be true?''
3469Can you get a horse harnessed in five minutes?''
3469Can you imagine what Lord Mountclere is coming for?
3469Can you understand the rest?''
3469Chickerel?''
3469Chok''it all, why should I think there''s sommat going on at Knollsea?
3469Christopher asked what he could not help asking in the circumstances,''Would you like to ride?''
3469Christopher of course ran up, and helped out of the carriage an old gentleman-- now do you know what''s likely?''
3469Come in for half- an- hour?''
3469Come, shall it be?''
3469Could he know that Christopher was living there, and was this said in prolongation of his recent suspicion?
3469Could it be possible that Lord Mountclere had on her account fixed this day for his visit across the Channel?
3469Could she by any accident have written one thing while meaning another?
3469Could we not all go?
3469Dan, is that your mind?''
3469Did he himself first enter upon the long- looming theme, or did she?
3469Did you ever hear anything so strange?
3469Did you ever see anything so ugly as that hand-- a misshaped monster, is n''t he?
3469Did you notice the fat old lady in the second row, with her cloak a little thrown back?
3469Did you observe it?''
3469Did you see me at all, Berta?''
3469Do I look like a person who gets beatings?
3469Do n''t you feel as if you were actually in Nineveh; that as we now walk between these slabs, so walked Ninevites between them once?''
3469Do n''t you find her so?''
3469Do you go far to- day?''
3469Do you know whose?''
3469Do you know?''
3469Do you think anybody in Knollsea knows it is going to be except us and the parson?''
3469Do you think you are competent to keep Myrtle and Georgina out of harm''s way?''
3469Does Mrs. Doncastle know of this yet, or Mr. Neigh, or any of their friends?''
3469Does not getting up in a hurry cause a sense of faintness sometimes?''
3469Ethelberta allowed herself to linger on that thought for a few seconds; and continued,''Then the question arose, what was I to do?
3469Ethelberta looked inclined to exclaim most vehemently against this; but what she actually did say was,''"Ribald"--what do you mean by that?
3469Every one started up; the two young mechanics stared, and one of them inquired, in return,''What''s the matter, friend?''
3469Get to know it, I mean, Menlove, not by directly inquiring; you have ways of getting to know things, have you not?
3469Good God, can it be possible?''
3469Have the fashion- books and plates arrived yet?''
3469Have you considered when we shall start?''
3469Have you considered whether the relations between us which have lately prevailed are-- are the best for you-- and for me?''
3469Have you decided to thank her for them?
3469He and his sister have been playing dances all night at Wyndway-- What is the matter?''
3469He asked me if I knew her, and--''''Her?
3469He reads a great deal, I dare say?''
3469Her personal interest in the passion, however, provoked her to inquire, in the next breath,''Who is it?
3469How came you not to dress up a bit, Sol?
3469How came you to know?''
3469How can you say so?''
3469How could Ethelberta refrain from exercising a little power when it was put into her hands in this way?
3469How did he find us out?''
3469How do I disappoint you this time?''
3469How do we get to the station?''
3469How do you know she does not love Ladywell?''
3469How does she treat you?''
3469How long is it that I am to suffer in this uncertainty?''
3469How lovely she looks, does she not?''
3469How much longer will this house be yours?''
3469How much would you be content with, Kit?''
3469How shall I prove my truth better than by my errand here?''
3469However, come and see my house-- unless you think it a trouble to look over a house?''
3469I am so uneasy about this life you have led us into, and full of fear that your plans may break down; if they do, whatever will become of us?
3469I do n''t believe it, do you say?
3469I do n''t mean to imply that the event is certain to take place; but, as a mere supposition, what do you say to it, Picotee?''
3469I do n''t think I will subscribe to these papers any longer-- how long have I subscribed?
3469I like him a great deal better than I did-- do you, Berta?''
3469I should answer the purpose, should I not, Kit?
3469I suppose he gets at you in some way, does he not?--tries to see you, or to be near you?''
3469I surely must say that a visit is to my advantage, must I not?
3469I think--''''You naturally think that a woman who cries over a man''s gift must be in love with the giver?''
3469If it is not a handkerchief, what is it?
3469If other folks get in the way with their traps I suppose I must drive round''em, sir?''
3469If you said to that child,"Berta,''levenpence- three- farthings a day, how much a year?"
3469In what way is he wicked?''
3469In which of the cases do you consider the marriage of verse and tune to have been most successful?''
3469Is Tomkins there?''
3469Is it a lie, or is it true, that he is not fit to be the husband of a decent woman?''
3469Is it not glorious to think that this is a picture done at the time of those very events?''
3469Is n''t she, Sol?
3469Is not a Mrs. Petherwin your sister?''
3469Is not that the gentlemanly man who assisted you yesterday?''
3469It is better to know the truth by any means than to die of suspense; better for us both-- surely you see that?''
3469It is hardly worth while for us to quarrel when we both have the same object in view: do you think so?''
3469It is not true that you have really decided to leave off story- telling now the people do n''t crowd to hear it as they did?''
3469It must be he, or else why is he not come?
3469It was only yesterday that Jones said--''''Do you know why she cares to do this sort of thing?''
3469Julian has not been here?''
3469Julian, you''ll bide and have a cup of tea wi''us?''
3469Julian?
3469Julian?''
3469Julian?''
3469Julian?''
3469Julian?''
3469Ladywell looked cheerful at this frank answer, and said tentatively,''Am I forgotten?''
3469Listen, surely there was a knock at the door?
3469May I call upon you?''
3469May I come down, and see how I look in your big glass?''
3469Money will do it, I suppose?''
3469Mother and we were very proud of her at that time: not that we be stuck- up people at all-- be we, Sol?''
3469Mr. Christopher Julian is the name I see upon it, I believe?
3469My only chance is in keeping in good spirits, and why do n''t you try to help me a little by taking a brighter view of things?''
3469Neigh?''
3469Neigh?''
3469Neigh?''
3469No remark was returned to this rugged reply, and he continued unconcernedly,''Shall I put you in the path-- it is just here?''
3469Now a woman must be a queer body to my thinking, to roam about by night so lonesome and that?
3469Now are you sure she does not love Ladywell?''
3469Now, driver, are the wheels right again?''
3469Now, if you was me, how should you set about getting a job, sir?''
3469Now, shall we go indoors to your father?
3469Now, was it not natural-- I put it to you?''
3469Now, would you like to see some more of your acquaintance?''
3469O, and Berta, will the title of Lady Petherwin descend to you when your mother- in- law dies?''
3469ON THE HOUSETOP''Picotee, are you asleep?''
3469Of what standing was the man who had uttered such an intention respecting one to whom a politic marriage had become almost a necessity of existence?
3469One of the coolest and most practised men in London was ill- mannered towards me from sheer absence of mind-- and could there be higher flattery?
3469Ought we to mind the man sitting down in our company, as there''s no other room for him?
3469Petherwin lives there, I believe?''
3469Petherwin?''
3469Petherwin?''
3469Petherwin?''
3469Picotee broke in--''You knew that both Gwendoline and Cornelia married two years ago, and went to Queensland?
3469Picotee opened the door, and said, with an anxiety transcending Ethelberta''s,''Well?''
3469Really inflexible?''
3469Say, shall it be here, or where they are standing?''
3469See?
3469Seeing her he instantly exclaimed,''What''s the matter, Picotee?''
3469Seeing him to be an Englishman, one of the two addressed Neigh, saying,''Can you tell us the way, sir, to the Hotel Bold Soldier?''
3469Shall I call out?''
3469Shall I see you in Sandbourne to- morrow?
3469Shall I test the truth of my cheerful view by a word of question?''
3469Shall it be arranged in that way, instead of our waiting through the ordinary routine of preparation?
3469Shall we now descend, and own ourselves disappointed?''
3469She added in another minute,''What had Mr. Julian to tell us that he came here?
3469She has company, has she not?''
3469She took her brother''s hand, and said,''Is father, then, gone?''
3469She''s gone into the house; and suppose she should run back without him to try to find us?
3469Since, then, she could not offer him this retirement, what right had she to interfere with his mode of life at all?
3469Sums?
3469Supply the love for both sides?
3469Suppose I should agree to come and live with you, and then you should be ill, or such like, and I no longer able to help myself?
3469Suppose she feels it as a blessing, instead of an affliction?''
3469Suppose we draw a line here for the present, sir, and get indoors?''
3469Surely there can be no objection to that?
3469Surely, Ethelberta, it is only right that I, who ought to keep you all, should at least keep your mother and myself?
3469Take a bigger house-- what''s the use?
3469That my father is not dead, as you probably imagine; that he is working for his living as one among a peculiarly stigmatized and ridiculed multitude?
3469The Mountclere line is noble, and how was I to know that this member was not noble, too?
3469The ass looked at Ethelberta as though he would say,''Why do n''t you own me, after safely bringing you over those weary hills?''
3469The day after to- morrow?''
3469The gay dresses and the preparations and the people-- how can they be collected in the time, Berta?
3469The lady is Ethelberta, to the shade of a hair-- her living face; and the knight is--''''Not Ladywell?''
3469The question is, how long shall I be able to do it?''
3469The thing was brought up by a young fellow named Ladywell-- do you know him?
3469The whole proceeding at best was clumsy; yet earnestness is mostly clumsy; and how could he let the event pass without a protest?
3469Then he is not your lover at all?''
3469Then in struck Mr. Julian:''What can I say?
3469Then it is quite through you that she has adopted this course?''
3469Then you will walk the rest of the distance if you do n''t meet Mr. Julian?
3469They say the steamer ca n''t land, and mis''ess wants to know if she can do anything?''
3469They''ll have to call upon us at the back door, wo n''t they, Berta?''
3469Walking up and down the lane, I suppose?''
3469Was the moral incline upward or down?
3469Was there ever such a transmutation effected before by the action of a hard environment?
3469We are poor, are we not, Kit?''
3469Well now, how can a man, branded with work as I be, be brother to a viscountess without something being wrong?
3469Well, Picotee, has any one paid you real attentions yet?''
3469Well, then, why should I be afraid to make a plunge when chance is as trustworthy as calculation?''
3469Well, there, sir, that''s Arr''thorne Lodge; do you see they three elms?''
3469Well?''
3469Were you never a little touched?''
3469What are you going to be now-- not a poor person after all?''
3469What business has a man of that character to marry Berta, I should like to ask?''
3469What could Ladywell have to say, as an acquaintance calling upon her for a few minutes, that he was not to hear?
3469What did you mean, Sol?''
3469What do you mean by that?
3469What do you propose to do?''
3469What do you say has happened?''
3469What do you say?''
3469What does she want to go mixing in with people who despise her for?
3469What for?''
3469What has fidelity to do with it?''
3469What hev bigness to do with it?
3469What is his name?''
3469What is the matter?''
3469What is the time, Sol?''
3469What makes you amuse yourself with such sentimental objects as those, only fit for women, or painters like me?
3469What more commonplace?
3469What new wrong have I done?''
3469What was her story to be?
3469What was it done for, I wonder?''
3469What white article is that I see on the floor yonder?''
3469What will you say on learning that I am not the trodden- down"lady by birth"that you have supposed me?
3469What will''em think?
3469What would you do, Neigh?''
3469What''s a woman''s beauty, after all?''
3469What''s half- an- hour to a girl in love?''
3469What''s the matter?''
3469What''s to be done?
3469Whatever is the reason of this extraordinary dislike to Sandbourne?
3469Whatever makes you keep rose- leaves in your pocket- book?''
3469When do you go?''
3469When do you leave London?''
3469When do you leave?''
3469When do you say it is to be, sir-- to- morrow?''
3469When do you start, sir?''
3469When she came up he held them out to her and said,''Will you allow me to present you with these?''
3469When we get indoors will you see if the boxes have been properly corded, and are quite ready to be sent for?
3469When will you dine with us to meet him?
3469Where do they live?''
3469Where is Strongway?''
3469Whereabouts does your lordship mean?''
3469Which will you do-- attempt supper here, or break the back of our journey first, and get on to Anglebury?
3469Who are you going to marry?''
3469Who knows?''
3469Who''s she?''
3469Why are you so surprised?''
3469Why could n''t she have known that when a title is to be had for the asking, the owner must be a shocking one indeed?''
3469Why did you and my father come here at all if you did not want to see me?''
3469Why did you come so mysteriously, and, I must say, unbecomingly?
3469Why do you treat me like that, after all?''
3469Why does he not show himself?''
3469Why would n''t you have him for the world?''
3469Why, darling?''
3469Why, what mighty ekkypage is this, come to town at such a purblinking time of day?''
3469Why?''
3469Will Thursday be convenient?''
3469Will you accompany me?''
3469Will you come a little further this way, and walk in the aisle?
3469Will you delay your answer till some time hence, when you have thoroughly considered; since I fear it may be a hasty one now?''
3469Will you give me a word of encouragement-- just a hope that I may not be unacceptable as a husband to you?
3469Will you meet me in the little winter garden two minutes hence?
3469Will you not see me for a few minutes, and let bygones go to the winds?''
3469Will you now permit me to introduce some of my party-- as many of them as you care to know by name?
3469Will you say"Yes,"and settle it now?''
3469Wo n''t ye step into the bar, sir, and give your order?
3469Would n''t you, Neigh?
3469Would not a well- contrived marriage be of service?
3469Would you have married Mr. Julian if it had not been for me?''
3469Would you like to see how they carries on a bit?''
3469Would you like to see the house?
3469Would you wish it brought in here; or will you come to the steward''s room?''
3469Would you, Sol?''
3469Yes, and what did she say?''
3469Yet what man on earth likes a woman to show too great a readiness at first?
3469Yet why not struggle against such slavery?
3469You are going there too?''
3469You can not mean that the engagement shall be broken off?''
3469You could do it, I suppose?''
3469You did n''t say"WE should feel?"''
3469You did not mean that, did you?
3469You do n''t mean to say he used to meet you?''
3469You do n''t suppose a man will give his heart in exchange for a woman''s when he has already got hers for nothing?
3469You do still agree to be mine?''
3469You know her, m''m?''
3469You know him a little; you remember when he came to the Lodge?''
3469You know what lady''s face served as the original to this, I suppose?''
3469You see she''s my own flesh and blood, and what can I say?
3469You think he will not object?''
3469You were in the room, I believe?''
3469You will go with me, I suppose?''
3469You will never cease to give me all the aid in your power until the thing is done?''
3469You will not mind speaking low, because of a person in the next room?''
3469You will probably go to your relative''s house at once?''
3469Your mis''ess is in a bad way, too-- isn''t she, skipper?''
3469how could you write a letter that you did not mean should be obeyed?''
3469or did my eyes deceive me?''
3469said a bird- like voice;''how did you come here?''
3469what does that mean-- will anybody come in?''
3469what?''
3469will you come here for a moment?''
3469you have never been out alone?''
17500''Tis news you have brought us, then, Christian?
17500''Tisn''t so bad as that with me?
17500A gift?
17500A hopfrog?
17500A nice- looking girl, no doubt?
17500A young woman?
17500About me?
17500Ah!--that''s you, you traitor, is it?
17500Ah, by my crown, what''s that?
17500Ah, how do you know that?
17500Ah, mother should have asked somebody else to be present tonight, perhaps?
17500Ah, you think,''That weak girl-- how is she going to get a man to marry her when she chooses?'' 17500 Ah-- what was that?"
17500Ah-- where?
17500And I was born wi''a caul, and perhaps can be no more ruined than drowned?
17500And can you cling to gaiety so eagerly as to walk all the way to a village festival in search of it?
17500And can you forget so soon what I proposed to you the other night? 17500 And do you find excitement?"
17500And he did n''t disappoint her this time?
17500And how about the new- married folks down there at the Quiet Woman Inn?
17500And how is your poor purblind husband?
17500And how long did that last?
17500And no ba''dy gaieties, I suppose? 17500 And not long?
17500And not that I have left Alderworth?
17500And other folk-- d''ye think''twill be much pain to''em, Mister Fairway?
17500And ruined her character?
17500And she is getting on well, you say?
17500And she speaks against me?
17500And were you not tired the next day? 17500 And what ghastly gallicrow might the poor fellow have been like, Master Fairway?"
17500And what she said to you?
17500And what then?
17500And why were you crying so just now?
17500And you are going to say it now?
17500And you fainted?
17500And you have heard nothing?
17500And you only married him on that account?
17500And you will keep the secret of my would- be marriage from Clym for the present?
17500And you will not come in, then?
17500And you will part friends with me?
17500Anything else?
17500Are you going with me?
17500Are you not ashamed of me, who used never to be a crying animal?
17500Are you sure it was my house she was coming to?
17500As we are imagining what is impossible and absurd, suppose we change the subject?
17500Ashes?
17500Asks to pay his addresses to me?
17500Aunt,said Thomasin, with round eyes,"what DO you mean?"
17500Be ye a- cold, Christian?
17500Be you Miss Vye? 17500 Beauty?"
17500Beds be dear to fokes that do n''t keep geese, bain''t they, Mister Fairway?
17500Beest hurt?
17500Beg your pardon, we thought that was your maning?
17500But a little rakish, hey? 17500 But do n''t you really care whether I meet you or whether I do n''t?"
17500But had n''t you better run and tell Captain Vye?
17500But he will take something?
17500But if you have no water?
17500But must you go home yet?
17500But there''s good art in me? 17500 But this kind man who has done so much will, I am sure, take you right on to my house?"
17500But we''ll gie''em another song?
17500But what''s the meaning of it all?
17500But why not join us?
17500But why should she come to see me if she felt so bitterly against me? 17500 But why should you think there is anything between me and Mr. Wildeve?
17500But you are not angry, mother?
17500But you had been staying at Anglebury?
17500But you might not like to see a lot of folk going crazy round a stick, under your very nose?
17500But you will surely have some?
17500But, Damon, please pray tell me what I must do? 17500 But, darling, what shall we do?"
17500But, miss, you will hear one word?
17500But, my good man, what have you done with the dice?
17500Ca n''t you answer me?
17500Can I go, can I go?
17500Can a man be too cruel to his mother''s enemy?
17500Can it be that you really do n''t know of it-- how much she had always thought of you?
17500Can my old room be got ready for me tonight, grandfather? 17500 Can you ask that?"
17500Can you maintain that I sit and tell untruths, when all I wish to do is to save you from sorrow? 17500 Can you read, madam?
17500Can you repeat them to me? 17500 Can you say so?"
17500Captain Vye is not at home?
17500Captain Vye?
17500Certain- sure?
17500Charley, what are they doing?
17500Christian, is n''t it?
17500Coffins, where?
17500Coming across the water to Budmouth by steamer, is n''t he?
17500Consult me? 17500 Could you hold this a moment, while I do it-- or shall I call your servant?"
17500D''ye think he had great pain when''a died?
17500D''ye think so, Timothy?
17500D''ye think''twill hurt me? 17500 Damon, what is the matter with you, that you speak like that?"
17500Dark or fair?
17500Dear Clym, I wonder how your face looks now?
17500Determined to go on, then?
17500Did he know it was my glove?
17500Did he wear a light wideawake?
17500Did she tell you of this?
17500Did you call me, aunt?
17500Did you ever know anybody who was born to it besides myself?
17500Did you indeed think I believed you were married?
17500Did you notice, my dear, what Mrs. Eustacia wore this afternoon besides the dark dress?
17500Did you see my mother the day before she died?
17500Did you whistle, Miss Vye?
17500Didst ever know a man, neighbour, that no woman at all would marry?
17500Diggory?
17500Do about you?
17500Do any of them seem to care about my not being there?
17500Do girls often play as mummers now? 17500 Do he rave about his mother just the same, poor fellow?"
17500Do n''t ye think we''d better get home- along, neighbours? 17500 Do n''t you think it very odd that it should n''t be given to me?"
17500Do you agree to it?
17500Do you believe it possible that I would run the risk of doing that?
17500Do you brave me? 17500 Do you know one person to whom she spoke of it?"
17500Do you know the consequence of this recall to me, my old darling? 17500 Do you know what is in this letter?"
17500Do you mean Miss Vye?
17500Do you mean Nature? 17500 Do you often go to see it?"
17500Do you often walk this way?
17500Do you press me to tell?
17500Do you say it to me-- do you?
17500Do you still prefer going away yourself to my leaving you?
17500Do you still think you found somebody fairer?
17500Do you think I wish to do otherwise for one moment?
17500Do you think she would like to teach children?
17500Do you think we did well in using the adder''s fat?
17500Do you want me any more, please?
17500Do? 17500 Does anybody else know?"
17500Does n''t join in with the lads in their games, to get some sort of excitement in this lonely place?
17500Dostn''t wish th''wast three sixes again, Grandfer, as you was when you first learnt to sing it?
17500Dostn''t wish wast young again, I say? 17500 Eustacia?
17500Eustacia?
17500Frightened?
17500Gave it away?
17500Half an hour of what?
17500Has it hurt you?
17500Has it seemed long since you last saw me?
17500Has this cruelly treated girl been able to walk home?
17500Have the ghost of one appeared to anybody, Master Fairway?
17500Have they gone to their new home?
17500Have they?
17500Have you dug up the potatoes and other roots?
17500Have you heard that he has chosen to work as a furze- cutter?
17500Have you seen one of my last new gloves about the house, Rachel?
17500He is paid for his pastime, is n''t he? 17500 Hey?
17500Hey?
17500How CAN you say''I am happier,''and nothing changed?
17500How am I mistaken in her?
17500How came Miss Vye to have anything to do with it, if she was only on a walk that way?
17500How came she to die?
17500How came you to be there? 17500 How can I have the conscience to marry after having driven two women to their deaths?
17500How can a man wish that, and yet love on? 17500 How can you dare to speak to me like that?
17500How can you imply that he required guarding against me?
17500How could she have asked you that?
17500How could that be?
17500How did she know your Christian name?
17500How did you come by that?
17500How did you come here?
17500How did you get here tonight, Thomasin?
17500How did you know it? 17500 How did you manage to become white, Diggory?"
17500How do you come back here again?
17500How do you come here? 17500 How do you know that Mr. Wildeve will come to Rainbarrow again tonight?"
17500How do you know?
17500How do you know?
17500How do you mean?
17500How have I?
17500How if she will not come?
17500How is Damon?
17500How is it you are so late? 17500 How is it-- that she can be married so soon?"
17500How long has he known of this?
17500How long shall we have to live in the tiny cottage, Clym?
17500How meaning?
17500How much do you get for cutting these faggots?
17500How often does he write to you? 17500 How was her face?"
17500How''s that?
17500How-- when they were your own?
17500How?
17500How?
17500How?
17500Hullo-- what''s that-- wheels I hear coming?
17500I could even go with you now?
17500I have come here well enough,she said,"and why should n''t I go back again?
17500I hope you reached home safely?
17500I mean a way two horses and a van can travel over?
17500I say, Sam,observed Humphrey when the old man was gone,"she and Clym Yeobright would make a very pretty pigeon- pair-- hey?
17500I should have to work, perhaps?
17500I suppose I may let it slip down?
17500I suppose nobody can overhear us?
17500I suppose nobody has come while I''ve been away?
17500I suppose the moon was terrible full when you were born?
17500I suppose the young lady is not up yet?
17500I suppose you have heard the Egdon news, Eustacia?
17500I suppose-- she was immensely taken with him?
17500I think my husband is going to leave me or do something dreadful-- I do n''t know what-- Clym, will you go and see? 17500 I thought Mrs. Yeobright was a ladylike woman?
17500I will be nobody else''s in the world-- does that satisfy you?
17500I wonder if it is mine?
17500I wonder why he has not come to tell me?
17500I''ll go to''em tonight and sing a wedding song, hey? 17500 I?
17500If she had wished it, would she not have sent to me by this time?
17500In what way is that? 17500 In what way?"
17500In what way?
17500Injure you? 17500 Is Mrs. Yeobright at home?"
17500Is he coming in?
17500Is he kind to you, Thomasin?
17500Is he known in these parts?
17500Is he light- headed, ma''am?
17500Is it because of the Maypole?
17500Is it not a pity to knock it out?
17500Is it worth while? 17500 Is it you, Eustacia?"
17500Is my granddaughter here?
17500Is n''t there meaning in it?
17500Is she a young lady inclined for adventures?
17500Is she lively-- is she glad? 17500 Is she married?"
17500Is that a bad sight?
17500Is that honestly said?
17500Is that very dangerous?
17500Is that you, Christian?
17500Is the water clear?
17500Is there a track across here to Mis''ess Yeobright''s house?
17500Is there any cart track up across here to Mis''ess Yeobright''s, of Blooms- End?
17500Is there any chance of Mr. Yeobright getting better?
17500Is there any use in saying what can do no good, aunt?
17500Is there no passage inside the door, then?
17500Is there? 17500 Is this young witch- lady going to stay long at Mistover?"
17500Is yours a long part?
17500It has to do with Miss Yeobright?
17500It is Mr. Venn, I think?
17500It is a good thing for his cousin what- d''ye- call- her? 17500 It is all over, then?"
17500It is n''t true?
17500It is not that girl of Blooms- End, who has been talked about more or less lately? 17500 It would be a great change for me; but will it not seem strange?"
17500It would be better for you, Eustacia, if I were to die?
17500Lord''s sake, I thought, whatever fiery mommet is this come to trouble us? 17500 Lost?
17500May I have the other few minutes another time?
17500Me? 17500 Mine?"
17500Miss Vye was there too?
17500Money from Mr. Wildeve? 17500 Mr. Wildeve is not the only man who has asked Thomasin to marry him; and why should not another have a chance?
17500Mumming, for instance?
17500Must I come in, too, aunt?
17500Must you go?
17500My eyes have got foggy- like-- please may I sit down, master?
17500My interests?
17500Nine folks out of ten would own''twas going too far to dance then, I suppose?
17500No, never? 17500 No?
17500No?
17500Not altogether the selling of reddle?
17500Not even on the shoulders of Thomasin?
17500Now, I put it to you: would you at this present moment agree to be his wife if that had not happened to entangle you with him?
17500Now, I should think, cap''n, that Miss Eustacia had about as much in her head that comes from books as anybody about here?
17500Now, Thomasin,she said sternly,"what''s the meaning of this disgraceful performance?"
17500Now, what shall we do? 17500 Now, would you do anything to please me, Charley?"
17500Oh, did he?
17500Oh, what is it?
17500Oh?... 17500 On account of your approaching marriage with her?"
17500On what? 17500 Only you here?"
17500Or have n''t you pluck enough to go on?
17500Ought we not to run home as hard as we can, neighbours, as''tis getting late?
17500Perhaps I may kiss your hand?
17500Perhaps it was one of the heath- folk going home?
17500Pistols?
17500Please will your grandfather lend us his fuel- house to try over our parts in, tonight at seven o''clock?
17500See whom?
17500Shall I get you something to eat and drink?
17500Shall I go and bring the victuals now?
17500Shall I go away?
17500Shall I go with you? 17500 Shall I go with you?"
17500Shall I stretch this corner a shade tighter, Timothy?
17500She is melancholy, then?
17500She was going to Alderworth when you first met her?
17500Shining, is it? 17500 Since you have come so far,"said Eustacia,"will you see me safely past that hut?
17500So late, is it? 17500 So perhaps I shall rub on?
17500Somebody who wants looking after?
17500Still waiting, are you, my lady?
17500Strange notions, has he?
17500Surely I never led you to expect such a thing?
17500Tamsin, have you heard that Eustacia is not with me now?
17500That your chances in life are ruined by marrying in haste an unfortunate man?
17500The dance and the walking have tired you?
17500The next thing is for us to go and wish''em joy, I suppose?
17500The nurse is carrying the baby?
17500Then Clym is not at home?
17500Then I may shake your hand?
17500Then a man may feel for years that he is good solid company, and be wrong about himself after all?
17500Then he was not absolutely gone when you left?
17500Then he was not coming back again for some time?
17500Then how could you say that I should marry some town man? 17500 Then the wedding, if it comes off, will be on the morning of the very day Clym comes home?"
17500Then where did you first see her?
17500Then where is she?.
17500Then why are you so ruffled?
17500Then you are vexed at being discovered?
17500Then you have not seen Christian or any of the Egdon folks?
17500Then you''ll not be wanting me any more to- night, ma''am?
17500They are a great deal in a small compass, You think?
17500Thomasin, do you know that they have had a bitter quarrel?
17500To dance?
17500To see how pretty the Maypole looks in the moonlight?
17500Travel? 17500 True?"
17500Very much indeed?
17500Very much?
17500Very well-- are you ready, Olly?
17500Was it quite safe when the winder shook?
17500Was she not admitted to your house after all?
17500Was you born a reddleman?
17500Watching me, I suppose?
17500Waxing a bed- tick, souls?
17500We three?
17500Well, darling, you agree?
17500Well, first you will promise me this-- that you wo n''t be angry and call me anything harsh if you disagree with what I propose?
17500Well, have ye heard the news? 17500 Well, how is it going on now?"
17500Well, what?
17500Well-- what?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Were you dancing with her, Diggory?
17500Were you making that dusty light I saw by now?
17500What DO you mean?
17500What are picturesque ravines and mists to us who see nothing else? 17500 What are you going to do?"
17500What are you rattling in there?
17500What be they?
17500What be ye quaking for, Christian?
17500What can be done? 17500 What can it mean?
17500What could have been in your mind to lead you to speak like that?
17500What could hurt me on this heath, who have nothing?
17500What course is that?
17500What d''ye mean?
17500What depressed you?
17500What did he want?
17500What did she do at my house?
17500What did she do then?
17500What did the gentleman say to her, my sonny?
17500What did you do such a crazy thing as that for? 17500 What did you mean by that?"
17500What did you tell him?
17500What did you watch me for?
17500What do I know about Mr. Wildeve now? 17500 What do you mean?"
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you propose to do?
17500What do you think I have to tell you, Clym?
17500What do you think of her now?
17500What do you want, Charley?
17500What does it mean-- it is not skimmity- riding, I hope?
17500What has happened?
17500What has that to do with it?
17500What have made you so down? 17500 What have you heard to make you think that?"
17500What have you to blame yourself about?
17500What irregularity?
17500What is his name?
17500What is it you say?
17500What is it?
17500What is my character?
17500What is the matter, Eustacia?
17500What light is that on the hill?
17500What made you hide away from me?
17500What man?
17500What new trouble has come?
17500What noise was that?
17500What of?
17500What shall I do? 17500 What shall I tell mother?"
17500What strangeness can there be in relations dancing together?
17500What tone?
17500What was in this letter?
17500What was it?
17500What was that?
17500What were you doing up there?
17500What will you do with a wife, then?
17500What will, then, Charley?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s the good of a thing that you ca n''t put down in the ashes to warm, hey, neighbours; that''s what I ask?
17500What''s the rights of the matter about''em? 17500 What, are you one of the Egdon mummers for this year?"
17500What, do you like Egdon Heath?
17500What, is he going to keep them?
17500What, what?
17500What, you can begin to shed tears and offer me your hand? 17500 What-- I myself?"
17500What?
17500Whatever is Christian Cantle''s teeth a- chattering for?
17500When are you coming indoors, Eustacia?
17500Where am I, aunt?
17500Where are the pistols?
17500Where are they now?
17500Where are you going?
17500Where do you wish to go to?
17500Where has he been living all these years?
17500Where have you been, Clym?
17500Where is she now?
17500Where to?
17500Where, may I ask?
17500Where?
17500Where?
17500Which part do you play, Charley-- the Turkish Knight, do you not?
17500Which part should I keep back?
17500Who are you?
17500Who are you?
17500Who be ye?
17500Who can say?
17500Who gave her away?
17500Who is it?
17500Who is it?
17500Who is she? 17500 Who is the man?"
17500Who may it be for?
17500Who told you that I had not married her?
17500Who was he?
17500Who was there?
17500Who''s Miss Vye?
17500Who''s somebody?
17500Who''s there?
17500Who''s there?
17500Who? 17500 Why ca n''t you do it as well as others?"
17500Why did I try to recall you? 17500 Why did n''t he bring you back?"
17500Why did n''t he take you with him? 17500 Why did n''t she come to my house?
17500Why did n''t you go away? 17500 Why did n''t you tell me that you were going away at this time?"
17500Why did n''t you?
17500Why did not Mr. Wildeve come in?
17500Why did you do it?
17500Why did you never mention this?
17500Why did you?
17500Why do n''t you answer?
17500Why do you say so?
17500Why do you say that-- as if you doubted me?
17500Why do you speak in such a strange way? 17500 Why do you want to do that at this particular time, when at every previous time that I have proposed it you have refused?"
17500Why do you, every time you take a step, go like this?
17500Why does Mrs. Yeobright give parties of this sort?
17500Why does he go out at all?
17500Why does n''t that which belongs to the wife belong to the husband too?
17500Why have you been living here all these days without telling me? 17500 Why is he sleeping there?"
17500Why is it that we are never friendly with the Yeobrights?
17500Why is this?
17500Why not go in, dancing or no? 17500 Why not tonight?"
17500Why not? 17500 Why should I not die if I wish?"
17500Why should it be she? 17500 Why should it be she?"
17500Why should n''t I have a bonfire on the Fifth of November, like other denizens of the heath?
17500Why should n''t I?
17500Why should you say such desperate things?
17500Why should you tell me that?
17500Why should you think it necessary to ask me? 17500 Why will you force me, Clym, to say bitter things?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Will it be possible to draw water here tonight?
17500Will it be safe to leave you there alone?
17500Will not Captain Vye get her punished?
17500Will you come in?
17500Will you dance with me?
17500Will you excuse my asking this-- Have you received a gift from Thomasin''s husband?
17500Will you go, dearest? 17500 Will you tell us one thing?"
17500Will you walk a little faster?
17500Will you walk with me to meet him this evening?
17500Wish to consult me on the matter?
17500Wo n''t you come in again, and stay as long as you like?
17500Worse? 17500 Would you let me play your part for one night?"
17500Would you like to help me-- by high- class teaching? 17500 Yes, how long?"
17500Yes,Thomasin murmured,"and I suppose I seem so now... Damon, what do you mean to do about me?"
17500Yes; or why should I have come?
17500Yes? 17500 Yes?"
17500Yes?
17500You are sure the rain does not fall upon baby?
17500You come from Mistover?
17500You did not go with her?
17500You do n''t feel it now?
17500You do n''t know me, ma''am, I suppose?
17500You do not intend to walk home by yourself?
17500You had it from her lips that I had NOT ill- treated her; and at the same time another had it from her lips that I HAD ill- treated her? 17500 You have a child there, my man?"
17500You have been watching us from behind that bush?
17500You have not forgotten how you walked with the poor lady on that hot day?
17500You have taken them away?
17500You have? 17500 You mean to call on Thomasin?"
17500You never told me this before?
17500You rather liked Miss Eustacia, did n''t you?
17500You refuse?
17500You remain near this part?
17500You shall feel so again,said Wildeve, with condescension,"Cups or glasses, gentlemen?"
17500You think a good deal of Paris?
17500You waited too, it seems?
17500You wanted to join hands with me in the ring, if I recollect?
17500You will go to sleep there, I suppose, wo n''t you? 17500 You will write to her in a day or two?"
17500Your first outing will be Monday night, I suppose?
17500''Tisn''t true, then?"
17500''When?''
17500''Where?''
17500A confused sob as from a man was heard within, upon which Eustacia gasped faintly,"That''s Clym-- I must go to him-- yet dare I do it?
17500A curate''s daughter, was she not?"
17500A sensible way of life; but would you like it?"
17500A very strange one?
17500Ah, I wish--""Yes?"
17500Am I not to show favour to any person I may choose without asking permission of a parcel of cottagers?
17500Am I the cause of your sin?"
17500Am I your hound that you should talk to me in this way?"
17500And Thomasin will go with you?"
17500And have you had a good bonfire up there?
17500And if I could, what comfort to me?
17500And is Thomasin in the room?
17500And now, jown it all, I wo n''t say what I bain''t fit for, hey?"
17500And what did the lady say then?"
17500And what did you say?"
17500And when you found it out you went in hot haste to her?
17500And why should I go on scalding my face like this?
17500And, neighbours, if we should be a little late in the finishing, why, tomorrow''s Sunday, and we can sleep it off?"
17500And, turning to the boy,"And then you left her to die?"
17500Angry?
17500Are you a woman-- or am I wrong?"
17500Are you as anxious as ever to help on her marriage?"
17500Are you going to walk with me a little way?"
17500Are you not much obliged to me for making you one?"
17500Are you not nearly spent with the heat?"
17500Are you really ill?"
17500Are you trying to find out something bad about me?"
17500As soon as the white- haired man had vanished she said in a tone of pique to the child,"Ungrateful little boy, how can you contradict me?
17500At the age of six he had asked a Scripture riddle:"Who was the first man known to wear breeches?"
17500At this Eustacia said, with slumbering mischievousness,"What, would you exchange with him-- your fortune for me?"
17500Before she could speak he whispered,"Do you like dancing as much as ever?"
17500But I suppose there is no fire?"
17500But how can I open the door to her, when she dislikes me-- wishes to see not me, but her son?
17500But now what is to be done?"
17500But now, about our marriage--""And Versailles-- the King''s Gallery is some such gorgeous room, is it not?"
17500But perhaps you do not wish me to speak-- killing may be all you mean?"
17500But really, Thomasin, he is not quite--""Gentleman enough for me?
17500But the grave has for ever shut her in; and how shall it be found out now?"
17500But what is the use of it?
17500But what''s the use of talking of gorgeous rooms?
17500But why did n''t you let me know when the wedding was going to be-- the first time?"
17500But why have you come so unexpectedly to repeat the question, when you only promised to come next Saturday?
17500But will you be mine?"
17500But you must not-- will you, dear Clym?"
17500But you will not mind for one evening, dear?
17500But, after all, why should her going off with him to Anglebury for a few hours do her any harm?
17500Can I do anything for you?"
17500Can I ever forget it, or even agree to see her again?"
17500Can I help you now?"
17500Can there be beautiful bodies without hearts inside?
17500Can you tell me if she''s gone home from the party yet?"
17500Christian drew a deep breath without letting it expand his body, and Humphrey said,"Where has it been seen?"
17500Christian going too?"
17500Christian turned and flung himself on the ferns in a convulsion of remorse,"O, what shall I do with my wretched self?"
17500Cloud, the Bois, and many other familiar haunts of the Parisians; till she said--"When used you to go to these places?"
17500Clym can sing merrily; why should not I?"
17500Clym saw nothing of this, and added good- humouredly--"What shall we have to frighten Thomasin''s baby with, now you have become a human being again?"
17500Clym, you are not jealous?"
17500Come secretly with me to Bristol, marry me, and turn our backs upon this dog- hole of England for ever?
17500Could it be possible that she had put on her summer clothes to please him?
17500Could it be that she was to remain a captive still?
17500Dear Clym, you''ll go back again?"
17500Did not one grain of pity enter your heart as she turned away?
17500Do I really belong to them?
17500Do n''t you see that by the very fact of your choosing her you prove that you do not know what is best for you?
17500Do n''t you think it dreadfully humiliating?
17500Do n''t you think somebody might know your tongue, miss?"
17500Do not you yourself notice my countrified ways?"
17500Do ye really think it serious, Mister Fairway, that there was no moon?"
17500Do ye suppose they really be the devil''s playthings, Mr. Wildeve?
17500Do ye think any harm will come o''t?"
17500Do you always draw your breath like that?"
17500Do you ever dream of me?"
17500Do you expect it?"
17500Do you know what I be?"
17500Do you know, Humphrey?"
17500Do you mean to see me again?"
17500Do you mean to wait until my husband is awake?"
17500Do you refuse?"
17500Do you remember how, before we were married, I warned you that I had not good wifely qualities?"
17500Do you suppose a man''s mother could live two or three months without one forgiving thought?
17500Do you talk so coolly to her about me?
17500Do you tell me his name?"
17500Do you think I am an evil- disposed person?"
17500Do you think I should remember all about my mother''s death if I were out of my mind?
17500Do you think I will not listen to you?
17500Do you think he will object to it?"
17500Do you think so, Eustacia?
17500Do you want any assistance?
17500Do you want anything bought?
17500Do you want to escape the place altogether?
17500Do you want to go anywhere?
17500Does not that content you?"
17500Does your father come home at six too?"
17500Door kept shut, did you say?
17500Eleven o''clock struck: could it be that the wedding was then in progress?
17500Else why should they have chosen it?
17500Eustacia had not long been gone when there came a knock at the door of the bedroom; and Yeobright said,"Well?"
17500Eustacia has not yet come home?"
17500For whom could he neglect her if not for Eustacia?
17500Going to the raffle as well as ourselves?"
17500Good heart of God!--what does it mean?"
17500Had I nothing whatever to do with the matter?"
17500Half a crown?"
17500Has your husband written to you yet?"
17500Has your love for me all died, then, because my appearance is no longer that of a fine gentleman?"
17500Have I ever been acquainted with you in my youth?"
17500Have I not shown my power?"
17500Have a glass of grog?"
17500Have ye brought your cart far up, neighbour reddleman?"
17500Have you been ill?"
17500Have you got all your clothes ready?"
17500Have you indeed lost all tenderness for me, that you begrudge me a few cheerful moments?"
17500Have you never said a word on the matter?"
17500Have you seen a ooser?"
17500He added, with a faint twang of sarcasm,"What wonderful thing is it that I can not be trusted to take?"
17500He clasped his arms round her, lifted her a little, and said,"Does that hurt you?"
17500He had carefully withheld all promise to do so; but would he be proof against her coaxing and argument?
17500He recognized Venn as his companion on the highway, but made no remark on that circumstance, merely saying,"Ah, reddleman-- you here?
17500He said,"What, Diggory?
17500He stood quite still; then he burst out spasmodically,"I shall see her once more?"
17500He will, I suppose, return there with you, if his sight gets strong again?"
17500Hence, when his name was casually mentioned by neighbouring yeomen, the listener said,"Ah, Clym Yeobright: what is he doing now?"
17500How can he bear to grieve me so, when I have lived only for him through all these years?"
17500How can it be, Venn, that she should have told such different stories in close succession?"
17500How can she look her friends in the face tomorrow?
17500How can you want to do better than you''ve been doing?"
17500How could she allow herself to become so infatuated with a stranger?
17500How could such a gross falsehood have arisen?
17500How could there be any good in a woman that everybody spoke ill of?"
17500How could you leave me in that way, darling?"
17500How did you come here?
17500How did you know it?"
17500How do you know that Thomasin would accept him?"
17500How far is it now to the inn?"
17500How long has this new set- to been mangling then?
17500How long was I what they called out of my senses?"
17500How old be you, Christian?"
17500How''st know the women wo n''t hae thee?"
17500I am your wife, and why will you not listen?
17500I believe you have something to give to Thomasin?
17500I ca n''t help it, can I?"
17500I can not understand this visit-- what does she mean?
17500I fear I am something to blame for this?"
17500I had her there-- hey?"
17500I have altered for the better, have n''t I, hey?"
17500I have certainly got thistles for figs in a worldly sense, but how could I tell what time would bring forth?"
17500I suppose it is all locked up as I left it?"
17500I suppose you have heard what''s been happening to the beauty on the hill?"
17500I suppose you remember him?"
17500I think when I become calm after your woundings,''Do I embrace a cloud of common fog after all?''
17500I will only ask this: can I do anything for you?
17500I wonder if that letter is really his?"
17500I wonder what that could have meant?"
17500If I could n''t make a little wind go a long ways I should seem no younger than the most aged man, should I, Timothy?"
17500If I feel that the greatest blessings vouchsafed to us are not very valuable, how can I feel it to be any great hardship when they are taken away?
17500If you wished to connect yourself with an unworthy person why did you come home here to do it?
17500In ten minutes she returned with a parcel and a note, and said, in placing them in his hand,"Why are you so ready to take these for me?"
17500In the words of Job,''I have made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?''"
17500Is Eustacia there?"
17500Is he from home?"
17500Is it best for you to injure your prospects for such a voluptuous, idle woman as that?
17500Is it like cudgel- playing or other sportful forms of bloodshed?
17500Is it not very unwise in us to go on spending the little money we''ve got when I can keep down expenditure by an honest occupation?
17500Is it that you wo n''t come in because you wish to stand here, and think over the past hours of enjoyment?"
17500Is n''t it spoke like a man, Timothy, and was n''t Mis''ess Yeobright wrong about me?"
17500Is there any place like it on earth?"
17500Is there anything on the face of the earth that a man can do to make you happier than you are at present?
17500Is there anything you dislike in me that you act so contrarily to my wishes?
17500Is this your cherishing-- to put me into a hut like this, and keep me like the wife of a hind?
17500Is your van here too?"
17500It ca n''t be nothing to be afeared of, I suppose?"
17500It is to be considered an honour, I suppose?"
17500It is very well for you to come and plead for her, but is she not herself the cause of all her own trouble?
17500It seems that my wife is not very well?"
17500Keeping an inn-- what is it?
17500Kept shut, she looking out of window?
17500Lost your voice, have you?
17500Madam, what do you mean by that?"
17500Manager to a diamond merchant, or some such thing, is he not?"
17500Manager to that large diamond establishment-- what better can a man wish for?
17500May I ask how old he is, ma''am?"
17500Maybe you can call to mind that monument in Weatherbury church-- the cross- legged soldier that have had his arm knocked away by the school- children?
17500Mother, are you very ill-- you are not dying?"
17500Mother, what is doing well?"
17500Mrs. Yeobright moved her head in thoughtful assent, and presently said,"Do you wish me to give you away?
17500Mrs. Yeobright was far too thoughtful a woman to be content with ready definitions, and, like the"What is wisdom?"
17500Must I come to fetch you?"
17500Must I not have a voice in the matter, now I am your wife and the sharer of your doom?"
17500My dress is not silk, you see... Are we anywhere in a line between Mistover and the inn?"
17500My mind is lost-- it had to do with the mumming, had it not?"
17500My spirits must be wonderful good, you''ll say?
17500Neighbours, if Mrs. Yeobright were to die, d''ye think we should be took up and tried for the manslaughter of a woman?"
17500Nothing that ca n''t be got over, perhaps, after all?"
17500Now Damon, do you see why I lit my signal fire?
17500Now can you tell me if Rimsmoor Pond is dry this summer?"
17500Now, look at me as I kneel here, picking up these apples-- do I look like a lost woman?...
17500Now, what must I give you to agree to this?
17500Now, you''ll never be afraid of a reddleman again, will ye?"
17500O, Clym, what do you think will happen?
17500O, and what d''ye think I found out, Mrs. Yeobright?
17500O, where is Eustacia?"
17500On Egdon, coldest and meanest kisses were at famine prices; and where was a mouth matching hers to be found?
17500One of the neighbourhood?"
17500Or perhaps it is the pale morning light which takes your colour away?
17500Ought I to be afeared o''nights, Master Fairway?"
17500Ought I to mention it to him, aunt?"
17500People began to say"Who are they?"
17500Perhaps I have thrown six-- have you any matches?"
17500Perhaps she''s your wife?"
17500Perhaps you have heard-- about Mr. Wildeve''s fortune?"
17500Please, Master Reddleman, may I go home- along now?"
17500Seeing that Eustacia sat on in hesitation he added,"Perhaps you think it unwise to be seen in the same road with me after the events of last summer?"
17500Shall I claim you some day-- I do n''t mean at once?"
17500She continued, half in bitterness,"I may almost ask, why do you consult me in the matter at all?
17500She could hardly believe as much, but why did he not write?
17500She forgave me; and why should she not have forgiven you?"
17500She had no reason for walking elsewhere, and why should she not go that way?
17500She had not long been there when a man came up the road and with some hesitation said to her,"How is he tonight, ma''am, if you please?"
17500She interrupted with a suppressed fire of which either love or anger seemed an equally possible issue,"Do you love me now?"
17500Should I tell him or should I not tell him?
17500So near, are we?
17500So that what course save one was there now left for any son who reverenced his mother''s memory as Yeobright did?
17500Suppose Wildeve is really a bad fellow?"
17500Suppose, when they are engaged, and everything is smoothly arranged for their marriage, that you should step between them and renew your suit?
17500Supposing her to be as good a woman as any you can find, which she certainly is not, why do you wish to connect yourself with anybody at present?"
17500Tell me, now, where is he who was with you on the afternoon of the thirty- first of August?
17500The boy''s mother turned to Clym and said,"This is something you did n''t expect?"
17500The heth is n''t haunted, I know; but we''d better get home... Ah, what was that?"
17500The labourer pointed out the direction, and added,"Do you see that furze- cutter, ma''am, going up that footpath yond?"
17500The other traveller turned his eyes with interest towards the van window, and, without withdrawing them, said,"I presume I might look in upon her?"
17500The outdoor exercise will do me good, and who knows but that in a few months I shall be able to go on with my reading again?"
17500The youth shook his head"Five shillings?"
17500Then he looked, started ever so little, and said one word:"Well?"
17500Then she ceased to make any attempt, and said, weeping,"O Thomasin, do you think he hates me?
17500Then she replied,"Best?
17500Then this consideration recurred to chill her: What was the use of her exploit?
17500There are forty years of work in me yet, and why should you despair?
17500There was no longer any doubt that Eustacia had left the house at this midnight hour; and whither could she have gone?
17500They say,''This well- favoured lady coming-- what''s her name?
17500Thomasin here broke in, still weeping:"He said he was only going on a sudden short journey; but if so why did he want so much money?
17500Thomasin, how long are you going to stay at the inn, now that all this money has come to your husband?"
17500To oil your boots instead of blacking them, to dust your coat with a switch instead of a brush: was there ever anything more ridiculous?
17500Turning to Venn, she said,"Would you allow me to rest a few minutes in your van?
17500Twice she reappeared at intervals of a few minutes and each time she said--"Not any flounce into the pond yet, little man?"
17500Two months-- is it possible?
17500Under the bed?
17500Up the chimney?"
17500Venn?"
17500Venn?"
17500Was Yeobright''s mind well- proportioned?
17500Was it Wildeve?
17500Was it a serious injury you received in church, Miss Vye?"
17500Was it poor Thomasin''s husband?
17500Was it right to let her go?
17500Was it this that made her ill?"
17500Was mother much disturbed when she came to you, Thomasin?"
17500Was the man in the house with you Wildeve?"
17500Was there anything in the voice of Mrs. Yeobright''s son-- for Clym it was-- startling as a sound?
17500We had the party just the same-- was not that rather cruel to her?"
17500We mean to marry, I suppose, do n''t we?"
17500Well, and what did the last one say to ye?
17500Well, did she say what she was coming for?
17500Well, who would have thought that girl''s troubles would have ended so well?
17500Well?"
17500Were you too cruel?--or is she really so wicked as she seems?"
17500What COULD the tastes of that man be who saw friendliness and geniality in these shaggy hills?
17500What are you thinking of to make you look so abstracted?"
17500What besides?"
17500What came of it?--what cared you?
17500What can I do?"
17500What curious feeling was this coming over her?
17500What did my mother say besides?"
17500What did she say to him, my man?"
17500What did you next see?
17500What did you quarrel about so bitterly with her to drive her to all this?
17500What do you mean to do about this you have seen?"
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you mean?"
17500What do you really think of her?"
17500What do you think of me as a furze- cutter''s wife?"
17500What does he want bank- notes for, if he is only going off for a day?
17500What does it all mean?"
17500What dreadful thing can have brought you out on such a night as this?"
17500What dreadful thing is it?"
17500What harm can I do to you or to her?"
17500What has her life been?
17500What has she done?
17500What have you got to say to that, Humphrey?"
17500What if her interest in him were not so entirely that of a relative as it had formerly been?
17500What is it a sign of when your shade''s like a coffin, neighbours?
17500What is it?"
17500What is it?"
17500What is the matter?"
17500What is the trouble?"
17500What made you change from the nice business your father left you?"
17500What makes her want to see ye?
17500What o''clock is it, Eustacia?"
17500What possible chance is there for such as you?"
17500What shall I assist you in?"
17500What sin have I done that you should think so ill of me?
17500What then?
17500What was Thomasin''s answer when you told her of your feelings?"
17500What was Wildeve?
17500What was she doing there?"
17500What was the fellow''s name who was keeping you company and causing you to add cruelty to her to your wrong to me?
17500What was the great world to Mrs. Yeobright?
17500What''s the good of Thomasin''s cousin Clym a- coming home after the deed''s done?
17500What''s the moon to a man like me?
17500What''s the use of it, mother?"
17500What''s the use of my getting well?
17500What''s worse than the worst a wife can do?"
17500What-- is he anxious?"
17500When Wildeve returned, a quarter of an hour later, Thomasin said simply, and in the abashed manner usual with her now,"Where is the horse, Damon?"
17500When did she say so?"
17500When he returned from his fifth time of looking in the old man said,"You have something inside there besides your load?"
17500When it was blazing up he said,"Shall I wheel you round in front of it, ma''am, as the morning is chilly?"
17500When she came home I said-- we were then just beginning to walk together--''What have ye got, my honey?''
17500When the instinctive question about a person is, What is he doing?
17500When they were gone into the heath again Yeobright said quietly to his mother,"Do you think I have turned teacher too soon?"
17500When, a little later, Wildeve returned from his walk to Mistover, Thomasin said,"Damon, where have you been?
17500Where did her dignity come from?
17500Where does he put his letters-- when does he meet you?
17500Where is she staying now?
17500Where is she, I ask?"
17500Where should she live?
17500Where will you go to?"
17500Which of them, seeing us together here, will believe that our meeting and dancing at the gipsy- party was by chance?"
17500Which way are you walking, may I ask?"
17500Who can be worse than a wife who encourages a lover, and poisons her husband''s mind against his relative?
17500Who can forbid your indulgence in any whim?
17500Who can it be?
17500Who can say of a particular sea that it is old?
17500Who could have thought then that by this time my eyes would not seem so very bright to yours, nor your lips so very sweet to mine?
17500Who had done this?
17500Who lost it?
17500Who of any dignity would take the trouble to clear cobwebs from a wild man''s mind after such language as this?
17500Who was she that he danced with?
17500Who would have thought that all this could happen to me?"
17500Who''s sitting there?"
17500Who''s the man?"
17500Whose fault was it that her meaning was not made clear?"
17500Why did I do that?
17500Why did Miss Vye want a bonfire so bad that she should give you sixpence to keep it up?"
17500Why did a woman of this sort live on Egdon Heath?
17500Why did he stay so long without advancing and looking over?
17500Why did n''t you tell me today when you came?"
17500Why did not you kick him out, and let her in, and say I''ll be an honest wife and a noble woman from this hour?
17500Why did she cry out?"
17500Why did ye reveal yer misfortune, Christian?"
17500Why did you originally go away from me?
17500Why do n''t people judge me by my acts?
17500Why do n''t you burn, you little fools?
17500Why do n''t you speak?"
17500Why do you not leave me alone?
17500Why do you return so early?
17500Why do you wander so much in it yourself if you so dislike it?"
17500Why does n''t he look after her?
17500Why have you not come before?
17500Why is it that a woman can see from a distance what a man can not see close?
17500Why should there have been a bonfire again by Captain Vye''s house if not for the same purpose?"
17500Why should we stay here?
17500Wildeve frowned, afterwards saying, with a forced smile,"Well, what wonderful discovery did you make?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Will any good Heaven hae mercy upon my wicked soul?"
17500Will it drive me out of my mind?"
17500Will that suffice?"
17500Will you come back to me?
17500Will you go at once-- please will you?"
17500Will you go away from me?
17500Will you go with me to America?
17500Will you marry me?"
17500Will you not come and drag him out of my hands?"
17500Will you soon start again?"
17500Will you step forward and tell me?"
17500Will you, Damon?"
17500Will you, dear Cousin Clym, go and try to persuade him not to go?
17500Willy Orchard said he seed a red ghost here t''other day-- perhaps that was you?"
17500Would you mind my taking''em out and looking at''em for a minute, to see how they are made?
17500Would your grandfather allow you?"
17500Yeobright promised, and she continued:"What I want is your advice, for you are my relation-- I mean, a sort of guardian to me-- aren''t you, Clym?"
17500Yeobright''s?"
17500Yeobright?"
17500Yeobright?"
17500Yes, perhaps I am jealous; and who could be jealous with more reason than I, a half- blind man, over such a woman as you?"
17500Yet how could he think her capable of deliberately wishing to renew their assignations now?
17500Yet why, aunt, does everybody keep on making me think that I do, by the way they behave towards me?
17500You are young Venn-- your father was a dairyman somewhere here?"
17500You can not seriously wish me to stay idling at home all day?"
17500You like the fire, do n''t you, Johnny?"
17500You refuse to answer?"
17500You see all these bags at the back of my cart?
17500You talked with her a long time, I think?"
17500You went out with them, of course?"
17500You will not be afraid?"
17500You will take her to Paris, I suppose?"
17500You wo n''t carry me off in your bags, will ye, master?
17500You would like to see her too-- would you not, Diggory?
17500Your giving up Mr. Wildeve will be a real advantage to you, for how could you marry him?
17500and who can have done it but I?
17500can it be she?"
17500can you?
17500do n''t you know me?"
17500do you stand me out, mistress?
17500he murmured; and going to the kitchen door shouted,"Is anybody here who can take something to old Dowden?"
17500of Plato''s Socrates, and the"What is truth?"
17500said Wildeve, fixing his eyes upon her;"who told you that?"
17500she said,''I thought''twas you: will you help me?
17500tell me-- do you hear?"
17500what man?"
17500you have not put Mrs. Wildeve''s money there?"
17500you really mean to marry her?"
