17314I suppose you''ve come here so early to ask for something for yourself-- something your brothers and sisters are n''t to know about, eh? 17314 I think I''m glad it''s only a game; it_ is_ only a game, is n''t it?"
17314I wish,she added politely,"you''d tell us about your dreams-- they must be awfully interesting"--"Is that the day''s wish?"
17314If we open the door, will you promise to come quietly down, and no nonsense?

17314My what?
17314No kid now? 17314 Now I''ve been thinking"--"Not really?"

17314Silly?
17314So you''ve forgotten?

17314Take him?
17314Talking of babies,said Cyril,"where''s the Lamb?"
17314Tell me,said Anthea,"why do n''t our wishes turn into stone now?
17314Tell me,said the Vicar kindly,"are you screening someone else?
17314The what?
17314Then shall we take him away?
17314Then why did the Sammyadd say we''d let ourselves in for a nice thing?
17314To carry news of succor? 17314 Touched in the head, eh?"
17314Was you sent here of a message?
17314We''ll club together our money, though, and leave it to pay for the things, wo n''t we?
17314Well, I knew the world had changed-- but-- well, really-- Do you mean to tell me seriously you do n''t know a Psammead when you see one?
17314Well,said Cyril,"if you ask me, I think it was rather decent of her"--"Decent?"
17314Well,said Robert,"what are we to do?"
17314Were you with him the whole time?
17314What I really wanted to say was-- you know how you''re always wishing for things when you''re playing at anything?
17314What I want to say is: wo n''t you let us have our wish just when we think of it, and just where we happen to be? 17314 What about dinner?"
17314What about your grub, though?
17314What are germans?

17314What do you mean?
17314What does it mean?
17314What ever shall we do?
17314What is a fix? 17314 What is it?"
17314What is it?
17314What on earth is it?
17314What seekest thou to accomplish? 17314 What''ll you take for him?"
17314What?
17314Whence comest thou, and what is thine intent?
17314Where are the others, and whoever to goodness gracious are all of you?
17314Where are you?
17314Where dwellest thou, young knave?
17314Where''d you get it, then?
17314Wherever did this come from?
17314Whither wouldst thou wend?
17314Whither?
17314Who are these very dirty children?
17314Who are you a- kiddin of?
17314Who puts mutton in their pockets, goose- girl?
17314Who tell you?
17314Who''s to have first wish?
17314Who?
17314Why did n''t you come home hours ago?
17314Why not?
17314Why should it?
17314Why, whatever''s happened?
17314Why,said Jane as an agreeable thrill of horror ran down her back and legs and out at her toes,"_ has_ anyone been murdered in their beds?"
17314Why-- what comes over him?
17314Why?
17314Will you show us a few, please? 17314 Wings?"
17314Would n''t it be better to wait till he_ does_ come?
17314Would n''t it be jolly,said Jane dreamily,"if mother could find all these lovely things, necklaces and rivers of diamonds and tarrers?"
17314Would you like to rest a little?
17314Would you,asked Anthea kindly--"would you like to come and sit on my lap?
17314Ye seek a pow- wow?
17314Yes, please,said the Psammead;"and, before we go any further, will you wish something for me?"
17314You do n''t know?
17314You heard those screams?
17314You''d think there ought to have been soldiers in it, would n''t you?
17314You''re_ sure_ the Lamb''s all right?
17314You_ are_ kidding?
17314You_ will_ go, wo n''t you?
17314_ Me_ frightened? 17314 ( Perhaps you do n''t know that if you bite off ends of cotton and swallow them they wind tight round your heart and kill you? 17314 *****I hope we''ve done right?"
17314A Sammyadd?"
17314A fray, mayhap?"
17314And I held out one sovereign, and I said--''Do you know what this is?''
17314And as for tuppence-- what do you call this?"
17314And does anyone have them for breakfast?"
17314And every time they passed a house, which was not very often, they all said,"Oh,_ is_ this it?"
17314And that, as Anthea said afterwards, was very deceitful, but what were they to do?
17314And why should they?"
17314And, I say, we did n''t surrender, did we?"
17314Are there any soldiers in the castle to defend it?"
17314But-- would you mind not giving me any wishes till after breakfast?
17314Ca n''t you take it back and give us a new one?"
17314Can you do a song now-- or a bit of a breakdown?"
17314Could anyone believe about a Sammyadd unless they''d seen it?
17314Could n''t we tie him to the tree and go home to our dinner and come back afterwards?"
17314Could this possibly be it?"
17314Could you send us home in your carriage?"
17314D''jever catch a weasel asleep?"
17314Did you call?"
17314Do n''t you know a Sand- fairy when you see one?"
17314Do ye surrender?"
17314Do you agree to that?"
17314Do you agree?"
17314Do you think its mother would mind?"
17314Had anyone else anything to do with this?"
17314Have he a strawberry mark on his left ear?
17314Have you ever been up at five o''clock on a fine summer morning?
17314He was their elder brother now, was he?
17314He''s soft, ai n''t he?
17314His girl wished to see the giant?
17314How are you going to turn being beautiful as the day, or being wanted by everybody, into stone?
17314How is it the biscuits are here, and all the bread and meat and things have disappeared?"
17314How much do you want, and will you have it in gold or notes?"
17314How would you like it?"
17314I say, am I as handsome as you are?"
17314If we took some of those up?
17314If you could allow me----?"
17314Is n''t this room jolly?
17314Is there anything else?"
17314It really and truly did"--"What?"
17314It was Indians he wished for-- Cyril-- at breakfast, do n''t you remember?
17314It''s our own precious Lamb still, whatever silly idiots may turn him into-- isn''t he, Pussy?"
17314Look here-- have you explored the castle?
17314No?
17314Not smashed themselves up with those wings, I hope?"
17314Now Anthea hastily explained to him that they could not go, but would he take Martha and the Baby instead?
17314Now what is one to believe-- what with nurses and science?)
17314Now-- some cake and milk before you go home?"
17314Of course no one could think of anything to say, but at last Robert thought of"How long have you lived here?"
17314Oh, Master Robert, whatever have you been a- doing of now?"
17314Oh, and he says ca n''t you loop up the tent at the back a bit?
17314Or shall I send round to the Bishop''s to see if he''s a nag or two to dispose of?"
17314Panther, get the coloured blankets off our beds, and look slippy, ca n''t you?"
17314Robert carefully winked at her and went on--"You wo n''t mind my just running home to get our dinner?"
17314Robert knew this meant,"Now then, youngster, what are you up to here, eh?"
17314Shall we not bind him?"
17314She went to Martha and said,"May we have just biscuits for tea?
17314Suppose the gipsies, when they recovered speech, should be furious to think how silly they had been all day?
17314That''s so likely, is n''t it?"
17314The Indians will come_ here_, do n''t you see?
17314The question is, what are we going to do?"
17314The thing turned its long eyes to look at her, and said--"Does she always talk nonsense, or is it only the rubbish on her head that makes her silly?"
17314Was the world like this then?"
17314Was this new Lamb in the grey flannel suit and the pale green necktie like the other Lamb?
17314What are Mega- what''s- its- names and Ptero- what- do- you- call- thems?
17314What did he want to come digging me out with his nasty wet hands for?
17314What is it?"
17314What is thine errand, that thou wanderest here alone among these rough men- at- arms?
17314What shall be their doom?"
17314What''ll you take for him?"
17314What''ll you take?
17314What''ll you take?
17314What''s the giddy hour?
17314What''s the next wish?"
17314What''s the wish this morning?"
17314Where are the rest of you?
17314Where do you get your Megatheriums from now?"
17314Where is the pony- cart kept?"
17314Where''d you get it?"
17314Who are you?
17314Who''s the master?"
17314Why do they just vanish?"
17314You see what my plan is?
17314You will keep your promise to refrain from violence?"
17314You_ are_ Jane, are n''t you?
17314Your cousins keep a china- shop, do n''t they?
17314Zillah, the girl, said,"An''me?
17314[ Illustration: The punctured state of it was soon evident]"I suppose there''s a cottage somewhere near-- where one could get a pail of water?"
17314[ Illustration: When the girl came out she was pale and trembling]"What was it like?"
17314[ Illustration:"Ye seek a pow- wow?"
17314he said in a languid tone,"still here?
17314how_ can_ you?"
17314or had his mind grown up together with his body?
17314repeated Robert hungrily; and the others looked vaguely round the bare leads of the church- tower, and murmured,"In the midst of?"
17314said Jane,"do n''t you think we''d better surrender?"
17314said Jane,"what does it matter which of you is the bravest?
17314said Robert]"Well, what is it?"
17314the Fairy said impatiently,"and who gives it to you?"
