37471exclaimed Lucy;"do you call our pay- master_ beautiful_?"
37471going to burn coffee now?
37471hast thee strained the milk?"
37471he whose thrilling eloquence had sounded far and wide?
37471is there nothing in this pile of papers?"
37471its maidens who prayed, and its sons who fought?
37471may I go to Lowell?"
37471must it be said that even love, too, fades?
37471or did it struggle with the sterner feelings which had then found entrance there?
37471or were the deed which claim the historian''s notice but the necessary results of the situations in which they had been placed?
37471said I,"whether you shall be awakened by a bell, or the noisy bustle of a farm- house?
37471said he,"What in the name of common sense are they?
37471said he.--"Playing the baby, Hat?
37471see that cucumber?"
37471to revel in the soft luxuries and enervating pleasures of a princely life?
37471what sound salutes mine ear?
37471where dost thou go?
37471where_ could_ I be alone?
37471you know better; how can you do so?"
37471you would have folks prepare for a wet day, would n''t you?"
157''A writer?''
157''But did n''t you ever travel?''
157''Did you notice the gentleman who has just gone?''
157''I trust that you are properly grateful for this very rare good fortune that has befallen you?
157''Is this Miss Abbott?''
157''To college?''
157''What were your parents thinking of not to have those tonsils out when you were a baby?''
157''Where on earth were you brought up?''
157''Who wants me?''
157( Almost as funny as Jerusha, is n''t it?)
157( Do n''t I know a lot of law?)
15710th October Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever hear of Michael Angelo?
15724th July Dearest Daddy- Long- Legs, Is n''t it fun to work-- or do n''t you ever do it?
15726th December My Dear, Dear, Daddy, Have n''t you any sense?
15727th August Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Where are you, I wonder?
1579th January Do you wish to do something, Daddy, that will ensure your eternal salvation?
157A. Saturday Do you want to know what I look like?
157ARE YOU BALD?
157Affectionately, Judy 30th September Dear Daddy, Are you still harping on that scholarship?
157Affectionately, Judy LOCK WILLOW, 4th April Dear Daddy, Do you observe the postmark?
157After chapel, Thursday What do you think is my favourite book?
157Also-- But what''s the use of arguing with a man?
157Am I too familiar, Daddy?
157And I thought that my own clothes this year were unprecedentedly( is there such a word?)
157And a stereognathus?
157And are you perfectly bald or just a little bald?
157And now I suppose you''ve been waiting very impatiently to hear what I am learning?
157And now, shall I tell you about my vacation, or are you only interested in my education as such?
157And the people?
157And the shops?
157And what do you think I am going to do?
157And what do you think he did?
157And what do you think we''re going to see?
157And what do you think?
157And where do you think we were going?
157And will you promise not to think me vain?
157And, if so, did people talk that way?
157Are n''t Judy and Jervie having fun?
157Are you SURELY in a good humour?
157Are you interested in poultry?
157Are you old enough, Daddy, to remember sixty years ago?
157Brazil?
157But are n''t the streets entertaining?
157But ca n''t you guess that I have a special topic due Monday morning and a review in geometry and a very sneezy cold?
157But how can one be very respectful to a person who wishes to be called John Smith?
157But is n''t it just like a man, Daddy?
157But maybe you''ve loved somebody, too, and you know?
157But really, Daddy, what could you expect?
157But to be the manager of a flourishing overall factory is a very desirable position, do n''t you think?
157But we''re both very, very happy, are n''t we?
157But what do you think?
157But would n''t it be dreadful if I did n''t?
157But you are cheerful again, are n''t you?
157C''est drole ca n''est pas?
157Ca n''t you guess anything else?
157Dear Daddy, are n''t you glad you''re not a girl?
157Did I ever tell you about the election?
157Did I tell you that I have been elected a member of the Senior Dramatic Club?
157Did you ever hear anything so funny?
157Did you ever hear anything so scandalous?
157Did you ever hear anything so shocking?
157Did you ever hear of anything so exciting?
157Did you ever hear of such a discouraging series of events?
157Did you ever hear of such a funny coincidence?
157Did you ever hear such a name?
157Did you ever know such a philosopheress as I am developing into?
157Did you ever know such fun?
157Did you ever read it, or was n''t it written when you were a boy?
157Did you( individually) ever pat me on the head, Daddy?
157Do n''t you KNOW that you must n''t give one girl seventeen Christmas presents?
157Do n''t you hope I''ll get in the team?
157Do n''t you really think that I ought to be an artist instead of an author?
157Do n''t you suppose you could spare one hundred dollars?
157Do n''t you think I''d make an admirable voter if I had my rights?
157Do n''t you think it was perfect of him to spend all the ten thousand dollars his father left, for a yacht, and go sailing off to the South Seas?
157Do n''t you think it would be interesting if you really could read the story of your life-- written perfectly truthfully by an omniscient author?
157Do n''t you think it would be nice for me to go with her, then we could have a studio together?
157Do n''t you think that''s a nice idea?
157Do n''t you?
157Do you believe in free will?
157Do you care to know how I''ve furnished my room?
157Do you feel that way?''
157Do you know about that one scandalous blot in my career the time I ran away from the asylum because they punished me for stealing cookies?
157Do you know what an archaeopteryx is?
157Do you mean to tell me that you actually live in all that confusion?
157Do you mind pretending you''re my uncle?
157Do you play golf or hunt or ride horseback or just sit in the sun and meditate?
157Do you remember the little dugout places with gratings over them by the laundry windows in the John Grier Home?
157Do you still hate girls?
157Do you think as a consistent Socialist that I ought to belong?
157Do you think you are?
157Do you think you could have passed?
157Do you think you would like her if you knew her?
157Do you want me to tell you a secret that I''ve lately discovered?
157Do you want to hear about them?
157Do you want to know something?
157Do you want to know what I bought with my money?
157Does n''t it seem queer for me to belong to someone at last?
157Does n''t that arouse your sympathy?
157Does n''t that impress you as a perfectly exorbitant amount?
157Exact date unknown Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Is it snowing where you are?
157Examinations next week, but who''s afraid?
157Friday What do you think, Daddy?
157Given a tall rich man who hates girls, but is very generous to one quite impertinent girl, what does he look like?
157Goodbye-- sorry to have disobeyed, but why are you so persistent about not wanting me to play a little?
157Guess what I''m reading?
157Guess where it''s laid?
157Had a lady visitor seen the hole in Susie Hawthorn''s stocking?
157Had-- O horrors!--one of the cherubic little babes in her own room F''sauced''a Trustee?
157Have you a butler?
157He sounds like an archangel, does n''t he?
157He twirled a button Without a glance my way: But, madam, is there nothing else That we can show today?
157Here is your portrait: But the problem is, shall I add some hair?
157How can I keep my mind sternly fixed on a studious career, when you deflect me with such worldly frivolities?
157How does my programme strike you, Daddy?
157How does that strike you, Mr. Smith?
157How many people do you suppose would have the courage to read it then?
157I am always making this an excuse, am I not?
157I can see myself that it''s no good on earth, and when a loving author realizes that, what WOULD be the judgment of a critical public?
157I do n''t believe there''s any real, underneath difference, do you?
157I do n''t call that fair, do you?
157I do n''t have to mind any one this summer, do I?
157I do n''t suppose it matters in the least whether they are stupid or not so long as they are pretty?
157I hope that I do n''t hurt your feelings when I criticize the home of my youth?
157I hope you never touch alcohol, Daddy?
157I never heard of anybody being asylum- sick, did you?
157I never told you, did I, that Amasai and Carrie got married last May?
157I put it out of my mind, and keep on pretending; but do n''t you see, Daddy?
157I seem to be floundering in a sea of metaphor-- but I hope you grasp my meaning?
157I suppose you think that the fuss we make over clothes is too absolutely silly?
157I suppose you''re thinking now what a frivolous, shallow little beast she is, and what a waste of money to educate a girl?
157I suppose you''ve been in Sherry''s?
157I think we did, do n''t you?
157I wish Mrs. Lippett had n''t given me such a silly name-- it sounds like an author- ess, does n''t it?
157I would n''t make a very good detective, would I, Daddy?
157I''m a Socialist, please remember; do you wish to turn me into a Plutocrat?
157If the theory worked, I ought to be able to neutralize that hole with good strong ammonia, ought n''t I?
157If we were in a novel, that would be the denouement, would n''t it?
157Is n''t New York big?
157Is n''t Shakespeare wonderful?
157Is n''t Treasure Island fun?
157Is n''t it amazing?
157Is n''t it funny that I know how?
157Is n''t it pitiful?
157Is n''t that a happy frame of mind to be in?
157Is n''t that a lark?
157Is n''t that a nice ending?
157Is n''t that an exalted stand to take?
157Is n''t this a nice thought from Stevenson?
157Is n''t this a touching entry?
157Is there anyone in the world that I know less?
157It does n''t seem possible, does it, considering the eighteen years of training that I''ve had?
157It does n''t seem possible, does it, that so sophisticated a person, just four years ago, was an inmate of the John Grier Home?
157It seems funny, does n''t it, for me to be sending a cheque to you?
157It''s a funny sensation, is n''t it?
157It''s really too bad, is n''t it, to have to give yourself the only pet name you ever had?
157Jervie?
157Judy 30th May Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever see this campus?
157Julia''s inviting Master Jervie, he being her family, and Sallie''s inviting Jimmie McB., he being her family, but who is there for me to invite?
157LOCK WILLOW, 12th July Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, How did your secretary come to know about Lock Willow?
157Lock Willow?
157MAGNOLIA, Four days later I''d got just that much written, when-- what do you think happened?
157Maybe it is n''t polite to criticize people you''ve been visiting?
157Maybe it is n''t proper to send love?
157Mrs. Lippett is dead for ever, so far as I am concerned, and the Semples are n''t expected to overlook my moral welfare, are they?
157Must I ask your permission, or have n''t I yet arrived at the place where I can do as I please?
157Not on the whole flattering, is it, Daddy?
157Perhaps that means something to you?
157Perhaps you do n''t realize what a climax that marks in the career of an orphan?
157Seems a little early to commence entertaining, does n''t it?
157Shall I ask for Mr. Smith?
157She had never known any men in her life; how COULD she imagine a man like Heathcliffe?
157She wanted to know what my mother''s maiden name was-- did you ever hear such an impertinent question to ask of a person from a foundling asylum?
157Should you mind, just for a little while, pretending you are my grandmother?
157Sincerely yours, Jerusha Abbott 11th April Dearest Daddy, Will you please forgive me for the letter I wrote you yesterday?
157Speaking of classics, have you ever read Hamlet?
157Speaking of poetry, have you ever read that charming little thing of Tennyson''s called Locksley Hall?
157Strangers!--And what are you, pray?
157Sunday Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Is n''t it funny?
157Suppose I go to him and explain that the trouble is n''t Jimmie, but is the John Grier Home-- would that be a dreadful thing for me to do?
157That sounds well, does n''t it, Daddy?
157The Adirondacks with Sallie?
157The next morning we had a glee club concert-- and who do you think wrote the funny new song composed for the occasion?
157The only way I can ever repay you is by turning out a Very Useful Citizen( Are women citizens?
157Then you laughed and held out your hand and said,''Dear little Judy, could n''t you guess that I was Daddy- Long- Legs?''
157This is a very abstruse letter-- does your head ache, Daddy?
157Thursday Morning My Very Dearest Master- Jervie- Daddy- Long- Legs Pendleton- Smith, Did you sleep last night?
157Was n''t it nice of her?
157Was n''t it sweet of Mrs. McBride to ask me?
157Was n''t that sweet of him?
157We had a bishop this morning, and WHAT DO YOU THINK HE SAID?
157Were the sandwiches not thin enough?
157Were there shells in the nut cakes?
157What can I say to him?
157What can the third contain?
157What do you suppose is at present engaging my attention in sociology?
157What do you think is my latest activity, Daddy?
157What do you think of that?
157What do you think of this?
157What do you think, Daddy?
157What do you think?
157What do you think?
157What do you, a reformer, think of that?
157What more does a struggling author wish?
157What must I call you?
157What seems to you the right thing for me to do?
157What shall I do?
157What shape are the rooms in an octagon house?
157Where did they get it?
157Where do you suppose it came from?
157Where do you think I got it?
157Where do you think my new novel is?
157Where would it stop reflecting your face and begin reflecting your back?
157Who''s all right?
157Whom do you think I am rooming with?
157Why could n''t you have picked out a name with a little personality?
157Why, why, WHY, Daddy?
157Will you be awfully disappointed, Daddy, if I do n''t turn out to be a great author?
157Will you forgive me this once if I promise never to fail again?
157Will you kindly convey to me a comprehensible reason why I should not accept that scholarship?
157Will you still care for me, darling, if I turn out to be only eleven?
157Wot''s the hodds so long as you''re''appy?
157Would it be very improper to have it made into a bath robe?
157Would n''t he make a nice villain for a detective story?
157Would n''t it be funny to be drowned in lemon jelly?
157Would n''t it be nice to be like that?
157Would n''t it be possible for me to see you?
157Would n''t you like me to leave college and go into a dramatic school?
157Would you be terribly displeased, Daddy, if I did n''t turn out to be a Great Author after all, but just a Plain Girl?
157Would you like me to tell you something?
157Would you like to know what colour your eyes are?
157You are not a misanthrope are you, Daddy?
157You do n''t mind, do you, Daddy, if I''m not very regular?
157You do n''t mind, do you, Daddy?
157You do n''t object, do you, to playing the part of a composite family?
157You do n''t think me conceited, do you, Daddy dear?
157You only wanted to hear from me once a month, did n''t you?
157You remember Charles Benton and Henry Freize?
157You would n''t mind, would you, Daddy?
157You''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, for being so rude?
157You''ll not stay long enough to excite him?''
157You''ve never heard about my clothes, have you, Daddy?
157Yours ever, Judy 20th Jan. Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, Did you ever have a sweet baby girl who was stolen from the cradle in infancy?
157Yours for ever, Judy 8th hour, Monday Dear Daddy- Long- Legs, I hope you are n''t the Trustee who sat on the toad?
32394A constitutional?
32394About Sheila? 32394 Ah, but is n''t that just the way Ted has her so utterly-- through the boy?"
32394Alice North?
32394And how does your garden grow, Mistress Mary?
32394And look at her eyes-- as blue as Charlotte''s, are n''t they?
32394Are you sure, Lucindy? 32394 Are you_ sure_?"
32394At this late date?
32394Been calling on the girls, Burnett?
32394But ca n''t I do_ anything_?
32394But is that so terrible?
32394But what have you seen, Peter? 32394 But what, after all, does an understanding of rhetoric amount to?
32394But why, Ted? 32394 But why?"
32394Dear Mrs. Caldwell, how can I walk where your foot is too heavy?
32394Dear, how can I tell? 32394 Did you know that she brought Alice North home with her?"
32394Do n''t you realize, dear, that your talent is n''t ended at all?
32394Do n''t you suppose I realize what you might have done? 32394 Do n''t you_ see_?"
32394Do you-- do you love some one else?
32394Do you--- think-- you can forgive me?
32394Do? 32394 Genius?"
32394Has Lisbeth been after you again?
32394Has she any children?
32394Have n''t you got all you can eat?
32394Have you considered her future?
32394Have you read the''Ode to the Evening Star''?
32394High- brows, are n''t they-- the Brentwood Company?
32394How can he have gotten it?
32394How could she realize it-- at twenty? 32394 How''d she find it out?
32394Huh?
32394I am to tell him that?
32394I mean,answered Mrs. North,"that you are already doing remarkable work-- that you will go far-- unless----""Unless what?"
32394If they do not come--?
32394Is it?
32394Is n''t she too sweet?
32394Is she anybody special-- anything of a celebrity?
32394Is she? 32394 Leaving town?
32394Little Sheila? 32394 May I know who the fair lady is?"
32394Must n''t I?
32394No,she remarked ruefully,"you do n''t believe anything that you ca n''t_ see_, do you, Ted?"
32394Now? 32394 Oh, Peter, do n''t I look nice?"
32394Oh, Sheila, are you sure?
32394Oh, Sheila-- don''t you understand? 32394 Oh, grandmother, did you?
32394Oh, grandmother, will you forgive me?
32394Oh, how could it have happened?
32394Oh,she cried,"what_ is_ the matter with me?"
32394Other- Sheila,she whispered,"Other- Sheila, is it_ you_?"
32394Really?
32394Renounce?
32394She took the_ baby_ to--?
32394She''d make a great man of me at forty- six?
32394Sheila--and his voice was less sure and bold--"Sheila, have you ever been in love?
32394Sheila, did you know?
32394Sheila? 32394 Sheila?"
32394Some one you can-- marry?
32394Ted?
32394That she was n''t wise enough to''trim the wick of a star''? 32394 The mistake, the accident, would n''t have happened?"
32394Then he would get over his unfortunate love in time-- wouldn''t he? 32394 Then it is best to speak it, after all?
32394Then it is best to speak it?
32394Then it''s a bargain-- not only for the present, but for the future-- after she graduates-- as long as she needs me?
32394Then she is promising-- for all your laughter?
32394Then she knows you''ve brought them to me?
32394Then why go? 32394 Then you think it''s rather a great thing to be able to write?"
32394To--_marry_?
32394Well, then----"Well, then--_what_?
32394What about it? 32394 What are you laughing at, Peter?"
32394What do you mean?
32394What do you mean?
32394What do you want of more nuts?
32394What do you want?
32394What have you been thinking of so seriously all evening?
32394What if dreams come true?
32394What if, after all, dreams sometimes came true?
32394What is it, Ted?--the thing that''s eating into her heart? 32394 What of your writing, Sheila dear?
32394What shall I do with my poet, Peter? 32394 What should I forgive you?
32394What was it Mrs. Caldwell once said?
32394What will you be doing next?
32394What will you wear?
32394What''s become of the poet you used to see in her?
32394What''s happened to you?
32394What''s the use of pretending that_ this_ is a''life- work''--a''noble profession''?
32394What?
32394Why ca n''t I?
32394Why did n''t you-- Oh, why_ did n''t_ you-- take what was left to you?
32394Why do you tell me that now-- now that it''s too late?
32394Why not here? 32394 Why, Peter?"
32394Why, what''s the matter?
32394Why?
32394Will you let me advise you?
32394Will you wear it Friday night?
32394Wiser?
32394With him there?
32394Would n''t a woman friend do as well?
32394You are n''t going to tell her good- bye yourself?
32394You ca n''t? 32394 You know how she reads-- quite beyond the ordinary little girl''s appreciation?"
32394You mean,cried Charlotte incredulously,"that you advised her to shirk the greatest experience possible to a woman?
32394You mean-- Eric?
32394You mean-- Sheila?
32394You plead for Ted?
32394You think he demands so much of her then? 32394 You think it''s_ funny_?"
32394You''ll come back? 32394 You''ll come back?"
32394You''ve actually selected her?--you have her waiting for me?
32394_ Do n''t_ you think it''s funny?
32394_ Lies_?
32394_ Something_? 32394 _ You_ wanted them?"
32394Ah, what would I do without my child?"
32394Alice North put out her hand again:"I trust I have n''t intruded-- offended?"
32394And Mrs. Caldwell glanced at Peter as if to add,"Did n''t I tell you he was n''t good enough for Sheila?"
32394And Sheila-- Ah, what had she not taught him-- what had she not taught herself-- of the woman''s part in a man''s work-- a man''s life?
32394And always it was as if he said to her,"What other name could be half so sweet?"
32394And he did not even look around until an amused voice inquired:"So absorbed, Professor Peter?"
32394And in her next question she took a step to meet it:"Grandmother, what is it?--the thing that will be mine?"
32394And now there came the question:"Why deny them any longer?"
32394And she leaned earnestly toward him:"_ Oh, Peter, is n''t she wonderful_?"
32394And then, to her nod,"May I go with you?"
32394And then, with pained surprise,"Why, that_ was_ a lie, was n''t it?"
32394And then,"Do n''t you know what it is, Other- Sheila?"
32394And then--_what if dreams came true_?
32394And with Eric at school-- don''t you see, my dear, that it''s something to do I need?
32394And, granting that, would it be fair for him to ask another woman to take what was left of-- of his affection?
32394And-- you are going to have a child, are n''t you, Sheila?"
32394Are you a cave woman-- that you should be just your husband''s docile chattel?"
32394Are you_ sure_?"
32394Bennett?"
32394But Mrs. Caldwell was not to be abashed:"I''ve been a shocking hypocrite, have n''t I?
32394But if Sheila wants me to see her poems, why has n''t she brought them to me herself?"
32394But if they do not come--?"
32394But-- granting that Charlotte may love me-- is it for her sake that you want me to marry her?"
32394CHAPTER X"Sheila, did you know?"
32394Caldwell?"
32394Compared to the joy of it, what was the joy of looking into a mirror and finding oneself fair?
32394Confess now-- haven''t you?"
32394Defeated?
32394Did somebody make love to you?"
32394Did you really believe you had to buy God''s mercy?
32394Did your conscience hurt you, Sheila?"
32394Did your grandmother scold you much?"
32394Do I really seem so grown- up?"
32394Do n''t he, Sheila?"
32394Do n''t you see how-- how restless I am?"
32394Do n''t you see that it''s just the same for both of us?
32394Do n''t you suppose I''ve seen what you''ve given up for me-- for me and Eric?"
32394Do n''t you understand what I mean?"
32394Do n''t you understand?
32394Do n''t you?"
32394Do you think I''d have done it without her permission?
32394Do you think he blamed her?"
32394For a vacation?"
32394Glad?
32394Grandmother, do you suppose_ that''s_ what I''ve wanted all the time, without knowing it-- to be good?"
32394Have a drink with me before I go on?"
32394Have n''t you-- when you were as young as Sheila?
32394Helpless?
32394His little life-- Ah, what was it not worth?
32394How can I tell what it will be for my little girl?"
32394How could she ever have hoped to keep her child-- she who had not been glad of his coming?
32394How could they recover themselves?
32394How could they sing and soar-- those fragile, shattered things?
32394How could you do such a thing?"
32394How, indeed, could she hope to keep him now?
32394How, then, could he be responsible?"
32394How_ could_ he fail with Sheila to stimulate him, to assist him, to believe in him?
32394How_ dare_ you call me silly?
32394I want my music and motherhood, too, but-- if I ever have to choose between them-- do you doubt that I''ll take motherhood?"
32394Is it important?"
32394Is n''t that long skirt becoming to her?"
32394Is there-- anybody else?"
32394It is sad that we should be like that, is n''t it, Peter?
32394It was very strange-- unless----""Unless----?"
32394It would n''t be fair to make yourself beautiful with borrowed plumage, would it, little bird of paradise?
32394Life-- life is more merciful than that, is n''t it?"
32394Marriage swallows women terribly, does n''t it?"
32394Maybe you''ve read something of hers?"
32394Mrs. Caldwell smiled:"What do you suppose I''m living for?"
32394Oh, Peter, will_ you_ help?"
32394Oh, Sheila, Sheila, where is your independence, your sense of your rights as an individual, a human being?
32394Oh, Sheila, are n''t the little sleeves cunning?
32394Or was it what he did not suspect-- that she had always understood him too well?
32394Peter grimaced:"You?
32394Peter''s face flushed darkly:"Do you think Ted reproached her for that?
32394Peter, why do n''t you write a book?"
32394See?
32394She and her dreams?
32394She turned on him with a flare of temper that burned up her humility so far as he was concerned:"How_ dare_ you call me queer?
32394Sheila pointed to them:"You remember what Mrs. North said-- that a woman could n''t be both mother and artist?"
32394Sheila stared at her:"_ You_ feel that way?
32394Sheila was sorry for Charlotte, but she began to feel vaguely flattered on her own account:"What''s the secret?"
32394Suppose I married a man who resented my music?"
32394The master''s star pupil?"
32394The same?
32394Then Ted does n''t mind your writing?"
32394Then a disturbed look fluttered across his face:"Do you actually mean that there''s no escape?"
32394Then you''ve seen?"
32394Then, gravely, she inquired:"What would you think the biggest thing in life, Ted-- if you were a woman-- a woman like Alice North?"
32394Those early fancies of his for girls whom he deemed too poor to marry-- what had they been but fancies indeed?
32394Was it as bad as that with you?
32394Was not destiny wiser than she?
32394Was there as little hope as that?
32394What do you think of her?"
32394What do you want, Ted?"
32394What had they to do with Eric and Eric''s future?
32394What has it done for_ me_?"
32394What is the matter with me?"
32394What made you do such a thing?"
32394What makes you think she''s likely to be?"
32394What shall I do?"
32394What should I do with a poet on my hands?
32394What was any other beauty beside this beauty of words, of subtle harmony and exquisite imagery?
32394What was it-- who was it-- that she saw in her eyes?
32394What wonder that I had my dreams about you?"
32394What wonder that, however unpractically, she had made an appeal to one whose heart she had divined better than she knew?
32394What wonder that, in her passionate solicitude, she had reached out to the one person whose understanding sympathy she could count upon?
32394What wonder, even, that he had made her a sort of promise?
32394What''s the matter with you, Sheila?"
32394Where''s the lie?
32394Why do n''t I chuck it all?
32394Why should she require a man''s friendship at all?
32394Why should she require anyone but himself and Eric?
32394Why, above all, should Sheila go home_ with_ her?
32394Why?
32394Why_ do n''t_ I go away?
32394Will you let me train her?"
32394Would he cheer and encourage, would he even tolerate, a dreamer, a poet, a worker in mere beauty?
32394Would he desire it in his son?
32394Would he ever regard art as more than a shadow of life?
32394Would it be fair to ask her to take-- a spoiled life?"
32394Would you mind going to her for a bit?"
32394Yet how could he offer less than his best to a creature so fine, so honest, so loyal as he knew Charlotte to be?
32394You advised her to forego_ that_?"
32394You just want to do more than anybody else, do n''t you?
32394You promise?"
32394You will?
32394You-- with your music, your chances to study, to make a career for yourself?"
32394_ You ca n''t_?
32394_ You''d_ always back a man up in his undertakings-- if you loved him-- wouldn''t you?"
32394she would inquire of it quaintly,"what_ will_ you be doing next, Other- Sheila?"
10059A what?
10059A-- a what? 10059 Am I?"
10059And Beth?
10059And how many columns to a page?
10059And now? 10059 And what did you say to that, Uncle John?"
10059And what''s the result?
10059And you believe you can do the work of three men?
10059And you have n''t solved the mystery yet, after two years?
10059And you''re not afraid of him?
10059And you, Hetty?
10059And you-- are-- McCormick?
10059Anybody milked the cow yet?
10059Anything more, yer honor?
10059Are you perfectly comfortable and happy, now we''ve escaped so far from the city that its humming life is a mere memory?
10059Are you sure he''s a good pressman, Uncle?
10059Are you sure they have not?
10059Be''n ridin''the trucks, eh?
10059But about the nabob-- Mr. Merrick, I think you called him?
10059But what is there now to detect?
10059But what then?
10059But who will send us the news?
10059But you prefer to take?
10059But you wo n''t print my name?
10059But, sir,suggested Thursday,"suppose no profits materialize?"
10059Ca n''t I do something else?
10059Ca n''t the Widder Clark sell the new paper, then?
10059Ca n''t we buy those things somewhere?
10059Ca n''t we connect our supply wire with your new plant, so as to use your power?
10059Ca n''t we put it in the barn, Uncle?
10059Ca n''t you telegraph to New York for another pressman?
10059Can anyone else work the press?
10059Can you operate this press?
10059Can you remember it, Patsy, or had I better write it down now? 10059 Can you run a power printing press?"
10059Cotting,called Mr. Merrick,"how do they run the paper mill at Royal?"
10059Could n''t we print the paper on the job press?
10059Could n''t you arrange the wedding before we leave?
10059Could you use it?
10059Delivered?
10059Did he really say that?
10059Did n''t I say to get out o''my way?
10059Did you notice his hands?
10059Did you?
10059Do n''t you see?
10059Do you know who cut the wires?
10059Do you mean the detective?
10059Do you suppose I''ll allow that rascal Skeelty to dictate to us for a single minute? 10059 Do you suppose every inhabitant-- man, woman and child-- will subscribe for your paper?"
10059Do you think we can make it pay on that basis, Uncle?
10059Do you think you could furnish enough power for our printing office?
10059Do you want to go into this thing, Louise?
10059Dynamite?
10059Eh? 10059 Eh?
10059Ever had any experience?
10059First name?
10059Folks up yit?
10059Four pages, an''six columns to a page?
10059Goin''ter feed''em in there?
10059Going away, sir?
10059Going to light the farm and turn night into day?
10059H''m,muttered Fogerty;"you recall it now, do n''t you?"
10059Has he a telephone?
10059Has the whole town suddenly turned literary, Peggy?
10059Have n''t you a family to look after you-- or for you to look after?
10059Have we any special features?
10059Have you any idea of the details of this thing you are proposing?
10059Have you any notion of the cost of an outfit such as is required to print a modern daily?
10059Have you ever kept books before?
10059Heh? 10059 Here-- in public?"
10059How about murders, crimes and divorces?
10059How about pictures?
10059How about the make- up?
10059How are you going to get the news of the world?
10059How big a daily edition will you print, Patsy?
10059How big? 10059 How did you secure employment as a book- keeper for Skeelty?"
10059How do you know?
10059How do you know?
10059How does that happen?
10059How long will it take to get the things here, Uncle?
10059How many do you think_ will_ subscribe, Arthur? 10059 How much, Uncle?"
10059How soon will the forms be ready?
10059How''ll we run the thing, girls; steam or electricity?
10059How? 10059 How?"
10059How?
10059How?
10059I admit the fun, but where does the philanthropy come in?
10059I s''pose you''ll print my name as the one what did it?
10059If the fragrance lies under the rust, it ca n''t be smelt, can it?
10059In what way, Uncle?
10059In what way?
10059Is anyone coming for our trunks and freight? 10059 Is he dead?"
10059Is it because you are especially interested in this man, my dear, or are ye simply consumed with feminine curiosity?
10059Is n''t he coming back?
10059Is n''t that Thursday Smith''s own business?
10059Is n''t there any grade between a workman and a thief?
10059Is that to be your office, dear?
10059Is the thing paying dividends?
10059Is there any reason you should refuse to tell us of your former life?
10059It ai n''t what I expected, but--"But what, sir?
10059It makes rhymes, do n''t it? 10059 It''s a high ambition, is n''t it?"
10059It''s story- writin'',declared Peggy"Say, Skim, I put ye onter this deal; do n''t I git a rake- off on thet fifty dollars?"
10059Kin ye buy one thet''ll spell, Skim?
10059Kin ye do it, Skim?
10059Major Doyle, will you mount guard over my men at the dynamos, to see they''re not interfered with, while I look after the wire?
10059Meanin''you, Peggy?
10059Must we have a business office?
10059Never mind who I am,retorted the other in a grumpy tone;"the original question is''who are the nabobs?''"
10059Now, then, are we ready?
10059Of course it''ll have to be run,suggested Mr. Merrick;"but how?
10059Of course we shall stay with the_ Tribune_ as long as you care to employ our services; but--"Well?
10059Oh, Louise,exclaimed Patsy, reproachfully,"why did n''t you let me see the thing?
10059Patsy, do you think we shall make any money from this venture?
10059Poke fun? 10059 Rather ungracious to travelers, eh?"
10059Ready for town, my dears?
10059Really?
10059See that''Honer''ble''on the card?
10059The compositors?
10059The main thing is, do you girls want to be tied down to such a task? 10059 The paper?
10059Then how did he come to be lying in a ditch?
10059Then what became of the car, or of the others in it?
10059Trouble? 10059 Two years ago he bought the Cap''n Wegg farm, over by Millville, an''--""Where''s Millville?"
10059We do n''t especially care to make any profit, do we?
10059Well, Uncle, how do you like it?
10059Were you injured?
10059What can you do?
10059What change do you wish made?
10059What do you think, Hetty?
10059What do you think, Uncle?
10059What for?
10059What in blazes are ye up to now, John?
10059What is it?
10059What is the Kleppish gang?
10059What is your business, please?
10059What is your name?
10059What luck?
10059What name did you call me, sir?
10059What news, Patricia?
10059What offices have you worked in?
10059What right has anyone to solve that mystery?
10059What shall we do, Thursday?
10059What shall we do? 10059 What shall we do?"
10059What was the result?
10059What was your berth, which Colonel Kleppish has-- has usurped?
10059What were it like?
10059What would happen to the horses and cows? 10059 What ye goin''to do, Bob?"
10059What''ll it cost?
10059What''s a good name fer a detective, mar?
10059What''s in that shed of yours?
10059What''s the matter with Harris?
10059What''s the verdict, Arthur?
10059What''s to be my position on the staff, Patsy?
10059What''s wrong, Harold?
10059What''s wrong, McGaffey?
10059What, something original, Skim?
10059When do you intend to be married?
10059Where did you learn the printing business?
10059Where is Arthur?
10059Where is it?
10059Where will you work, at the office or here?
10059Where''s your waste basket?
10059Who are the nabobs?
10059Who are you, Smith?
10059Who be you?
10059Who is Thursday Smith?
10059Who was Thursday Smith?
10059Who''s Skeelty?
10059Who''s this?
10059Why ai n''t I, Bob West?
10059Why did you come to Millville?
10059Why has n''t some one thought of it before? 10059 Why not?"
10059Why not?
10059Why should the men wish to attack us, sir?
10059Why''Tribune?''
10059Why?
10059Why?
10059Why?
10059Will you be able to sleep to- night?
10059Will you permit me to question you a bit?
10059Wo n''t you please explain that a little more fully?
10059Wonder ef they''d pay fer a pome?
10059Would it be legal for me to marry under the name of Thursday Smith, or must I use my real name-- Harold Melville?
10059Would you care to make your future home in Millville?
10059Ye kin, Skim?
10059Ye mean ye wo n''t take it?
10059You have n''t forgotten me, have you? 10059 You have never seen him before you met him here?"
10059You have no idea how you came there?
10059You''re Merrick, eh? 10059 You''re not real journalists, you know, and--""Why are n''t we journalists?"
10059''Then,''says some one,''where''s the body?''
10059Also I own half the stock in the new paper mill at Royal--""You do?"
10059And do you get the fragrance of the pine forests, and the-- the--""The bumps?"
10059Another contributor?"
10059Any booze for sale in this town?"
10059Are we''most there?"
10059Are you a good shot, Bill?"
10059Are you armed?"
10059Are you the artist, then?"
10059Blood?"
10059Boglin?"
10059But ca n''t you see that the lesson they will learn will render them more cautious in making future investments?
10059But what''s the news, Thomas?
10059But would n''t it cost a lot of money?"
10059But you''re not state senator now?"
10059But-- dear me-- aren''t we going to have any paper to- morrow morning?"
10059By the way, what will you charge for subscription?"
10059Carriage here yit?"
10059Did you ever breathe such ozony, delicious mountain air?
10059Did you know me well, sir?"
10059Do ye s''pose they''ll give me the thirty, er the fifty, Peggy?"
10059Do ye set up to know more''n I do about story writin''?"
10059Do you know, I would n''t be surprised to find it just as amusing to be respectable as to-- to be-- the other thing?"
10059Do you mind my lighting a cigarette?
10059Do you want to load onto an innocent bride an''groom the necessity of meeting a deficit of a couple of hundred dollars every week?"
10059Do you?"
10059Eh, Uncle John?"
10059Eh?
10059Fogerty stretched out his hand and said, as if in wonder:"Why, Melville, old man, what are you doing here?
10059Four pages will do, wo n''t it, Louise?"
10059Goin''into what?"
10059Gone where?"
10059Has it a floor?"
10059Have you no business of your own to attend to?
10059How about breakfast, friend Judkins?"
10059How about it, Mr. Merrick?
10059How are Ethel and Joe?"
10059How big a newspaper do you want to print?"
10059How does that strike you, my children?"
10059How long can you keep this up, girls?"
10059How much will you contract to take?"
10059How would you and Hetty like to remain in Millville and run it?"
10059How?"
10059I understand, of course, you are to be married; but-- afterward?"
10059I want to confer with the major and Arthur before-- before taking any steps to--""What''s the news, Uncle?"
10059I wonder if he really will have the audacity to send it to Munsey''s?"
10059Is n''t it delightful, Arthur Weldon?
10059Is n''t this a queer start for girls like you?"
10059It is to be Saturday, you say?"
10059Merrick?"
10059Merrick?"
10059Miss Patsy?"
10059Now he inquired, in composed tones:"What''s the trouble, Bill?"
10059Presently he asked:"Has Kleppish got this paper too?"
10059Say, air ye tryin''to queer my story, mar?
10059Say, it''s funny to see me in this jungle, is n''t it?
10059See?
10059Shall I undertake to discover his real identity?"
10059Sounds like printin''somethin'', do n''t it?"
10059Suppose she took the messages, who would get the night news in shape for the compositors?
10059Suppose you call me Editor of Special Features, and let it go at that?"
10059The farm ai n''t nuthin''but cobblestone an''pine woods, but--""How big is Millville?"
10059Then he opened the door of the booth and said:"Patsy, how big a thing do you want to print?"
10059Then, with his hand on the knob, he turned and added:"Why do n''t ye come in, me journalistic investigators, and see the fun for yerselves?
10059To begin with, what are your future plans?
10059Todd?"
10059Trouble, West?
10059Understand all that, Marvin?"
10059Weldon?"
10059West?"
10059West?"
10059What did he do?
10059What do ye s''pose this new deal means, boys?
10059What do you call it?"
10059What do you say, girls?"
10059What do you say?"
10059What do you say?"
10059What do you think of our newspaper scheme, West?"
10059What is his right name?"
10059What is your second objection?"
10059What sort of stuff do you want me to turn out?"
10059What will you gain if you unmask the past of Thursday Smith?
10059What would not this waif from the grim underworld of New York have given for such clear eyes, pure mind and unsullied heart?
10059What would you think of my putting in an electric plant at the mill, and lighting both Millville and Huntingdon, as well as all the farmhouses?"
10059What''ll I tell him?"
10059What''s it about, dear?"
10059When is the next train back to New York?"
10059Where can he be found?"
10059Where did you learn to use your fists so cleverly, Smith?"
10059Where is your baggage?"
10059Where''s Sizer?
10059Where''s the profit comin''from, on one cent, I''d like to know?
10059Where_ is_ Royal, anyhow?"
10059Who is inside?"
10059Who was he?
10059Why ca n''t th''ol''nabob write a letter, like common folks, an''give his extry cash to the poor?"
10059Why did he git the nomination?
10059Why do n''t he show up and be shot, like a man?"
10059Why, Skim, how came you to write this?"
10059Why, oh, why in the world did it happen?"
10059Wo n''t you take them home for Mr. Merrick''s breakfast?"
10059You do n''t ketch_ me_ a- talkin''to New York at a dollar a throw, Nib, do ye?"
10059You do n''t want three spoiled nieces on your hands, do you?
10059chuckled the major,"wherever can the poor things borrow money to keep going?
10059cried Patsy, wringing her hands;"what''ll become of the paper?
10059cried a loud voice, as Major Doyle marched calmly down the road from the mill;"how dare ye interfere with a gentleman?"
10059have you plenty of competent printers and pressmen at Millville?"
10059he suddenly cried, as an inspiration struck him,"you ai n''t got anything agin the mill at Royal, or agin Skeelty, have you?"
10059questioned Patsy;"and would n''t an escaped maniac be promptly hunted down and captured?"
10059the entire four hundred are printed?"
20230A--_what_?
20230And I''m to talk to her-- to beg her to tell him?
20230Are n''t we going to stop by for Sally?
20230Are n''t you-- I do n''t know the rest of your name, but are n''t you-- Jerry?
20230Are we just to wait here until help comes?
20230Are you telling your fortune?
20230Babes in the Woods? 20230 But is n''t''stay_ all_ night''a silly expression?
20230But--she took account for the first time of Michael Daragh--"_quién es el hombrón?_"( Who is the big man?)
20230But--she took account for the first time of Michael Daragh--"_quién es el hombrón?_"( Who is the big man?)
20230But, if she wo n''t? 20230 Ca n''t they leave me alone?
20230Ca n''t you see?
20230Core of my heart,he said,"will you hush your pretending?
20230D''you s''pose I want to?
20230Did Ethel tell him?
20230Did n''t she?
20230Do you believe in corporal punishment?
20230Do you know what I''m trying to say to you? 20230 Do you know what''ladies''means?
20230Does n''t Ethel care for the baby?
20230Ethel, how much do you love him?
20230Ethel?
20230Goner slip''em some high- brow stuff? 20230 Good gad, Jane Vail,--don''t you know what you''ve got here?
20230Good gracious, Michael Daragh,I said,"you do n''t suppose I like it, do you?
20230Have you decided not to marry me?
20230Have you lost your senses?
20230He-- he looks_ bright_, does n''t he?
20230How are you? 20230 How long till dinner, Mrs. Hills?
20230How''d you like to cut out the paper joy- bells?
20230How- do- you- do? 20230 I can quite picture him, ca n''t you?
20230I do n''t suppose you''d give me a whack at it, would you? 20230 I got her here, did n''t I?"
20230I hope,said Emma Ellis, conscientiously, the taut lines of her face loosening a little,"you had a pleasant outing?"
20230I mean, are you really as happy as you act, or are you just-- gay?
20230I wonder,Daragh paused in the outer hall,"would I better cover him up?"
20230It sounds rather like a line from a comic song, does n''t it?
20230It''s the way I''m asking you something now I''ve never dared ask you before, Jane Vail,purled the brogue,"and I''m wondering, dare I?"
20230Janey,she leaned toward her and spoke wistfully,"are you really as impossibly happy as you look?"
20230Look here,she said,"why should n''t we do something together?"
20230Love him,--more than I want him?
20230Michael Daragh, do you know what I''m going to do?
20230Michael Daragh,I said, meekly,"will you take Randal with you and let me take Dolores with me?"
20230Michael Daragh,I whispered, when we at last were packed into the taxi,"could n''t we stop at some school on the way home and leave her?"
20230More than Irene?
20230More than the baby?
20230Mrs. Hills, will you let Mabel come and do me up in twenty minutes? 20230 My dear, what is it?
20230My dearest girl, are n''t you happy in your home? 20230 My hair?..."
20230Never that, Acushla, but-- couldn''t we be taking him with us? 20230 Not_ go_?
20230Now what do you mean by that?
20230Oh, do you find it so? 20230 Oh, is that so?
20230Oh, very well,--you shall have your tubs and your linoleum, if you''ll let me humanize the rest of the house,--will you?
20230Oh,--_Jerry_?
20230Oh,--do you mind waiting just a minute? 20230 Paper go nicely, Janey?
20230Poor old Marty.... Well, we ca n''t lead other people''s lives for them, can we?
20230Sally,_ dear_,Jane determinedly broke the spell,"what''s the silly matter with us?"
20230Shall we go downstairs?
20230She going to stay all night with you?
20230Simply torrid up here, is n''t it? 20230 Sinking, my good Michael?
20230That is, if there''s something I can do?
20230The air is getting pretty awful, is n''t it? 20230 The right?
20230Then I think it''s pretty mean not to play fair with him, do n''t you? 20230 Then, how about-- the other one?"
20230Then, why do you?
20230To_ work_?
20230Want to hop in? 20230 Was n''t I quick, Jane?"
20230Was n''t it yourself told me what you said to your friend back in the village-- that you were''going on''? 20230 We must just wait until they come for us, must n''t we?"
20230Well, Jane,_ dear_,a faint, sympathetic flush warmed her small, pale face,"is n''t that perfectly natural?
20230Well, it did n''t take that Mr. Rodney Harrison very long to get in action, did it?
20230Well, may I see it?
20230Well, then,Michael was still staring at her, unhappily,"will it be the bus, or a taxi?
20230Well, then,said Jane, after agreeing to alligator pear salad,"shall we say Fairy God- cousin?
20230What are letters?
20230What did I tell you? 20230 What is he like, this Jerry person?"
20230What is it?
20230What is this?
20230What makes you think I could help? 20230 What''d you come for, then?"
20230What''s the big idea?
20230What, Jane? 20230 What,"said Jane interestedly,"what was it you called me?"
20230What? 20230 What?"
20230What?
20230Where_ are_ we? 20230 Who is that man?"
20230Why do you call her Billiken?
20230Why not?
20230Why, yes, of course I''ll come, but-- why?
20230Why? 20230 Why?"
20230Yes,said Jane, easily,"he''s told me everything, I think, but what I''m interested in now is-- what are you going to do with this stuff?"
20230You are n''t sick, are you?
20230You have a_ mile_ of it, have n''t you?
20230You mean, did she tell Jerry about-- about the baby?
20230You mean,I said,"you want to postpone our marriage?"
20230You see?
20230You see?
20230_ Eighteen?_ Oh----"Yes. 20230 _ La jour de gloire est arrivé!_"Was it?
20230_ No es tu esposo?_she quivered with tentative rage.
20230_ Now_ will you let me?
20230_ Tu novio?_I admitted that he was my betrothed.
20230''Is himself out there in the sun the way he''d be hearing me?
20230''The loveliest lace, is it?
20230''What were we always telling you?
20230( Could anything be less lyrical, I ask you?)
20230( How is that for a demonstration of Mr. Burroughs''well- known theory about folding your hands and waiting and having your own come to you?)
20230( Is n''t that delicious, Sally?)
20230( See how I gave him an opening, E.E.?)
20230( Sounds more like eighteen than twenty- eight, does n''t it?)
20230( Was n''t I right about the Erring Daughters and the Snow?)
20230( Was n''t it pitiful, Michael?
20230***** A shame, is n''t it, Sally, that we ca n''t be frank and honest?
20230... did you ever play----""What, Acushla?"
20230A man grew querulous:"Where are we?
20230After all his years of devotion----""But do n''t you think he got large chunks of enjoyment out of them?"
20230After all, she had not broken the old home ties( to put it lyrically) for this sort of thing, now, had she?
20230Afterward, when he was leaving, she looked him squarely in the eye and said,"You are a newcomer in Guadalajara?
20230Am I Tobias?
20230Am I to give you the quarter for your Poor and Needy?"
20230And Michael Daragh, her best friend of four good years, her-- what should she say?--dream lover?
20230And anyhow-- what about Harriet Beecher Stowe, writing_ Uncle Tom''s Cabin_ with poverty and sickness and a debilitating climate and seven children?"
20230And have I a fish to heal a blindness?"
20230And how is everybody?"
20230And how is-- how are all the others?"
20230And how near is the baby- grand?"
20230And is n''t he cool as a cucumber?"
20230And my point is won?
20230And was n''t I always getting bad big boys to smoke less and drink less and pass ex''es and dance with wallflowers and write to their mothers?
20230And will he be good to the baby?''
20230And, of course, there''s a girl in it somewhere, and I''m sure she has waited for Michael all these years instead of marrying The Heir, are n''t you?"
20230Are n''t you both immensely pleased with me?
20230Are n''t you glad V. is such a nice, easy letter to embroider?)
20230Are you going on, I say?
20230Are you going to give him a lie for his wedding gift?"
20230Are you''going on''?
20230As she came off she gave me a kindly pat and said--"Ai n''t they eatin''it up?
20230At any rate, I needed perspective on the whole situation, and who knows but I shall meet my nice new fate on this romantic pilgrimage?
20230At the pinnacle of her big speech the door is wrenched open and THE MAN stands there, a gun in each hand, demanding--"Who''s here?"
20230Billiken-- when it''s the last time Muddie''ll ever have to feed you?
20230But I do n''t believe it will be much longer, now, do you?"
20230But is n''t it rather a comedy situation?
20230But with Mr. Daragh entirely convinced and more maudlinly worshipful than ever, what was the use of saying anything?
20230But"( how appeal to a sense of fair play where no fair play had been?)
20230Ca n''t you write here in your own town, in your own home?
20230Ca n''t you?
20230Can she reach the sandwiches?
20230Can you_ see_ it, Sally?
20230Could you imagine me marrying any one in the wide world_ but_ Michael Daragh?
20230Cream, buff, tan, apricot, burnt orange-- Let me come down and go shopping with you some day, will you?
20230Daragh says you are interested in drawings-- just look round, will you?
20230Daragh?"
20230Did I write something about the rosy but dim and distant date when Dolores would be"through school?"
20230Did n''t I always coax sling shots away from bad little boys and make them sign up for the S.P.C.A.?
20230Did n''t I tell you?
20230Did n''t my three unsteady angels more than make up for one poor devil?
20230Did n''t they serve tea?
20230Did n''t you get my signal?
20230Did you ever in all your born days see such luck?
20230Do I score?
20230Do n''t you adore that, Michael Daragh?
20230Do n''t you like the sound of that, Sally?
20230Do n''t you suppose I have imagination enough to project myself into another type?
20230Do you dare to count the one exception that gloriously proved the rule?
20230Do you hear, Michael Daragh?"
20230Do you know it, Michael?
20230Do you mind if I just sleep a-- f-- few minutes?
20230Do you think it will"get across?"
20230Do you wonder that I''m an old woman before my time?
20230Dost thou not burn to fold me to thy breast?"
20230Drink deep of the good air, just, till-- what?
20230Gentle, innocent- sounding name, is n''t it?
20230Gillespie?"
20230Give it up?
20230Going_ away_?
20230Going_ away_?"
20230Got a job yet?"
20230Guess where?
20230Guess which one I opened first, Michael Daragh, Do- er of Miracles?
20230Had BROTHER''S brother died of fright?
20230Had my poor starveling fainted again?
20230Half an hour?
20230Has he?"
20230Have n''t I won, Emma Ellis?
20230Have n''t I won, Michael Daragh?
20230Have n''t you any parlor tricks?"
20230Have you?"
20230He had birth, breeding, abilities; why must he wrap himself in monkish sackcloth, in monkish celibacy?
20230He said in liquid Spanish,"So, Your Grace will not buy my little lizard?
20230He''s always seemed a belted earl sort of person, for all his other- worldly ways, has n''t he?"
20230Hills?"
20230His friend, after a few weeks of slenderest acquaintance?
20230How about it, Emma Ellis?
20230How blow a blast to shatter them?
20230How did your paper go?"
20230How many pupils have you now?
20230How- do- you- do?
20230How- do- you- do?"
20230I am to lift up the light of my countenance on this young gentleman, then, and convince him that he is still socially desirable?"
20230I have n''t had a real play- time for a year, and it''s four years and a month since I left home for New York-- can you realize it?
20230I said that you always saw life through a stained- glass window and that it gave you distorted values, did n''t I?
20230I saw you just now at the Booking Office, did n''t I?
20230I suppose Daragh''s told you-- about me?"
20230I suppose I''m tired out with all this rushing about, for I just went to pieces over it, and when Lupe said sympathetically,"Oh, deed you_ want_ it?"
20230I trust you wo n''t expect to glean any useful information or statistics about Mexico from these chronicles?
20230I was reading to him last night, and suddenly he said in his shy, repressed way,"Was you ever to a circus?"
20230I wonder if they''d consider me up stage if I wore gloves?
20230I wonder why we do n''t say,''stay over night''?"
20230I wrote you how much he liked it when I read the original''script to him?
20230I''ll ask her at dinner.... How''s your mother, dear?...
20230I''ll call him now,--may I?"
20230I''m much obliged for blacksmiths nowadays, are n''t you, Michael Daragh?
20230If he had at last dared to ask her to leave her sunny fields for his shadowed paths, was this the vision to reassure him?
20230Is it in the constitution of Hope House to have only hideous and uncomfortable furniture?"
20230Is it too much, indeed?"
20230Is n''t NETZAHUALCOYOTL a cunning word?
20230Is n''t it curious?
20230Is n''t it pretty much of a miracle to make me turn my back on five orders and bring my soul up here to renovate it?
20230Is n''t that charming?
20230Is n''t that one- in- the- eye for your theory, at the start?
20230It was n''t because you were interrupted, was it, dear?
20230J. V._ Wednesday._ I have n''t told you about the"Low- down Wilkes,"have I?
20230Jane wanted hotly to know,"or an angel in a nightdress and a snow scene?"
20230Just to please me?"
20230Land t''goodness,"he regarded me mournfully,"do n''t we have to strive night an''day,''thout takin''any extry sins on our souls?"
20230Let me play with it a minute, will you?
20230Like the old woman in the fairy tale,--"Can this be I?"
20230Look,--the part where THE HAWK tells her what a rotten deal he''s always had, is n''t this how you meant it?"
20230Love, was it?
20230May I?"
20230My throat ached and I could hardly drag one foot after another, and even my eyeballs----""But you''re fine now, are n''t you?
20230Nevertheless, in a world of foot- lickers, is n''t pride like that delicious?
20230No?
20230Nobody knows except Irene and the people here,--and nobody''d be mean enough to just go and tattle to him,--would they?"
20230Not go to Mrs._ Wetherby''s_?
20230Nothing could happen to us..._ now_... what do you suppose makes me so sleepy?...
20230Now she was in the dust, but would n''t it all come right for her in the end?
20230Now will you write and tell me if you like it?
20230Now, Sarah Farraday, I ask you, as a reasonable human being, what you think of that?
20230Now, is n''t that the great wonder surely?
20230Of course, music is the most marvelous thing in the world, but is n''t there something of deadly monotony in it?
20230Oh, my dear Lord''n Saviour, it_ ai n''t_ too late?"
20230One does n''t enjoy_ having_ an experience like this, but_ having_ had it makes for growth, should n''t you say?"
20230One of the parcels contained liver, and it became unwrapped....( Dost like the picture, Jane Vail bearing home the liver for her frugal evening meal?)
20230Or will you stop content with the pavement, the likes of you that was made for the mountain peaks?
20230P.S.--Do you realize that my month is up?
20230Pride( where was her decent pride?)
20230Rather neat, what?
20230Richards?"
20230Richards?"
20230Rollicking nursery rhyme, was n''t it?
20230Sally, did n''t I say something nitwitted about music?
20230Sarah, does n''t that make your scalp creep?
20230Sarah, now that your mother is so improved, would n''t you like to take a boarder?
20230Say, I guess maybe that''s poor?
20230Say, girlie, did n''t I tell you I''d put the raisin in it?"
20230Say, ring her up, will you, sure?
20230See how it brings out the good lines of your face?
20230Shall I be finding a cab to rush you home?"
20230Shall I send you bulletins of my pilgrim progress?
20230So, this was the man for whom she had dressed herself three times, cunningly and provocatively?
20230Subtle, was n''t it?
20230Suppose they muddle it utterly, what will the Powers say to me-- after not telling them of the change in cast?
20230Surely you wo n''t let her take Billiken until we are sure?"
20230That''s what we are, are n''t we?"
20230The Budders( does n''t Budder sowd as if I ad a code i d by ed?)
20230The thing you''ve just written and sold, now,--are you proud in your heart of it?"
20230The_ poor_ thing----"Miss Ellis, I''ve taken your chair, have n''t I?"
20230They had a little way of saying,"What have you been writing lately, Janey?"
20230This one said,"Was they a string around his neck, Dan''l?"
20230Thumbs down?
20230Thumbs up?
20230Wait,--where''s your hand mirror?
20230Want I should send her up for it?"
20230Want to hear about it?
20230Want to hop in the boat and run out to see her now and talk it over?"
20230Was n''t it going to be fun--_if_ the play went over"big"--to vanquish this much of the hideousness of the world?
20230Was n''t that clever of him?
20230Was n''t that fitting?
20230Was n''t that funny?
20230Was not this a part of her life with Michael since he had sent her to that lean, clean island to snare back her soul?
20230Was she, then, so much finer clay?
20230We are to be married( see how calmly and steadily she sets down that astounding word?)
20230Well, how is it?
20230Well, now, was she?
20230Well, you''re the last to come, see?
20230Were you never young yourself?"
20230What are you doing with it?"
20230What can I_ do_?
20230What do you mean,--only''getting on''?"
20230What for?
20230What''s the difference between Nannie and Sally?
20230What''s the matter?"
20230What_ is_ it?
20230What_ is_ it?"
20230When can we start?
20230When he saw me he cried out:--"Oh, it ai n''t too late?
20230Where are we?
20230Where was the youth in those young feet?
20230Where will you sit, Miss Vail?
20230Where?"
20230Where_ are_ we?"
20230Which house?"
20230Who am I to write a one- act play?
20230Who did that to them?"
20230Who is the poor thing you''re concerned with now?"
20230Why do n''t you contribute something to the gayety of nations?
20230Why had she come at all?
20230Why had she done it?
20230Why had she mixed and muddled in this sordid tangle which was none of her bright business?
20230Why should n''t she do as the other girls of the set had done?
20230Why this dramatizing of the pleasant and placid course of Wetherby Ridge events?
20230Why, how did you get away so early?
20230Will I be able to"put it over"?
20230Will that do?"
20230Will you ask Mrs. Hills to express my tea basket and two cups?
20230Will you come up to her now?"
20230Will you try doing it this way?
20230Wirra... down all the years I can hear the wild joy of him still----"Core of my heart, have you come?
20230Woman, dear,"the purling brogue--"the rare, high places you can climb if you will?
20230Would n''t it_ have_ to come right for her?
20230Would n''t you think she''d be dead on her feet and want to crawl into bed quick''s ever she had her supper?
20230Would she be coming with him to- morrow to the Agnes Chatterton Home, where there was a girl in black sorrow?
20230Would she be tearing off with another young man, first evening home?
20230Would you--_could_ you-- be dining with a dope fiend?"
20230Yes, he was!--And how many pupils have you now, Sally?"
20230You care more for him than for your baby?"
20230You give her my love, wo n''t you?
20230You have n''t one?
20230You have n''t quarreled with Marty, have you?
20230You ought to give it a hundred and twenty strokes a night,--see, like this?
20230You''ve come for Billiken?"
20230[ Illustration:"SAY, GIRLIE, DIDN''T I TELL YOU I''D PUT THE RAISIN IN IT?"]
20230_ Do n''t you see the hoof- prints?_"The posse wheels and thunders away.
20230_ New York, April Twelfth._ SALLY DARLING, Thanks for your two wires, though the first one--"So happy, but who is it?"
20230_ Now_ who''s asleep?"
20230_ What_ had happened back there?
20230_ When_ are you coming?
20230_ Why_ must they have that liver- colored glass in the door?"
20230here you are in my throbbing, thrilling midst at last, having left your sylvan home because it ceased to nourish you,--and you have nothing to say?"
20230letter?"
20230to him, for if we had n''t had supper with him that night, and gone uptown in the subway, who knows if I''d ever have won my elusive swain?
49772''Evolution,''she said blankly,"''what is evolution?''"
49772''Ought to go alone?--ought to go alone?'' 49772 ''Roger Michael''--''Roger Michael''--Sylvie, would n''t you rather use your own name if you wrote?"
49772A nice, clean- looking man,said Elizabeth who was inveterate at finding good;"not very original, but then who is?"
49772Ah, Hagar!--Goodies from Gilead Balm? 49772 Ai n''t you been to college for going on three years?"
49772All the same,said Hagar,"go to bed before two o''clock, wo n''t you?"
49772Am I not? 49772 Am I tiring you?"
49772Am I? 49772 And Elizabeth?"
49772And each change is greater by geometrical progression than was the one before?
49772And that respect?
49772And the two over there with the stout man?
49772And then-- how many years?--Nine, is n''t it?--that night at that Socialist meeting, when you spoke--"What were you doing there? 49772 And what may be your name?"
49772And without a child?
49772And you call this home?
49772And you rest the conqueror?
49772And you told him?
49772And you''re aware that I shall work on through life for the fairer social order? 49772 And you?"
49772And you?
49772Another?
49772Are n''t we going to have some more poetry? 49772 Are n''t you lucky, too?
49772Are n''t you the selfish person not to be willing to go to Bogotá?
49772Are n''t you tired, Molly? 49772 Are they always going to call you that?"
49772Are we? 49772 Are you afraid of death?"
49772Are you better?
49772Are you cold?
49772Are you going again this summer?
49772Are you going in, Miss? 49772 Are you hungry?"
49772Are you interested?
49772Are you interested?
49772Are you so wild to go to Bogotá?
49772Are you speaking,asked Hagar Ashendyne,"of the Suffrage Movement?"
49772Are you very tired?
49772Are you?
49772Aunt Serena, what do you suppose he did?
49772Aunt Serena, what is''evolution''?

49772But if there really is n''t any one?
49772Ca n''t I go to Cooper Union to- night?
49772Ca n''t you come with me, Hagar?
49772Can you read aloud?
49772China Awake?
49772Christopher?
49772Consciously together?
49772Could n''t we have,said Fay,"a month in some old, green, still, English country place?"
49772Could n''t you-- won''t you?
49772Dangerous?
49772Did I startle you?
49772Did he ask for his wife?
49772Did n''t you think,murmured the latter,"that that was a very curious speech?
49772Did you have a good time?
49772Did you have a pleasant walk?
49772Did you-- ever have-- the asthmy? 49772 Dilsey, has n''t Miss Hagar come in yet?...
49772Do I mind seeing you here, in Brittany? 49772 Do n''t you ever wish for just a clear Nothing?
49772Do n''t you like people to like you?
49772Do n''t you want some burrs?
49772Do n''t you, too,she asked,"feel at home with the dear old imperfection?"
49772Do you believe that-- when it is over-- we shall be together still?
49772Do you mean that they ought n''t to-- to do anything to you? 49772 Do you mean that you wo n''t like it?"
49772Do you mean,asked Mrs. LeGrand,"that, against your counsel and advice, Hagar is really going headstrongly on to do this silly thing?"
49772Do you object to my swearing?
49772Do you remember Ishmael in the Bible?--his hand against every man and every man''s hand against him? 49772 Do you remember once I told you I was going to make a great fortune, and you made light of it?
49772Do you see them staying women?
49772Do you suppose,said Molly,"that, in Merry England, the milkmaids and shepherdesses danced about a maypole at thirty- two?
49772Do you think she would hate me if I turned up in that place in Brittany?
49772Do you think that only mind in man rebels? 49772 Do you think that... perhaps... he might like to go home-- to go home to Gilead Balm?"
49772Do you think there can be no home without a man?
49772Do you think they can change?
49772Do you want me to get up and say good- night?
49772Do you, now?
49772Do you? 49772 Does he really think, mother, that it''s serious?"
49772Does that happen often? 49772 Dr. Bude-- oh, Dr. Bude-- is my mother going to die?"
49772Even so, you could come to see me, could n''t you? 49772 Four years in-- in jail?"
49772Four years?
49772Free politically?
49772Got a chill?
49772Grandfather,said Hagar,"do you remember Alexandria and the mosques and the Place Mahomet Ali?"
49772Hagar!--What is that? 49772 Hagar, do you love me?"
49772Hagar,said Elizabeth,"if I give you two or three books upon the position of woman in the past and to- day, will you read them?"
49772Has Isham brought the mail?
49772Has Isham gone for the mail?
49772Have n''t I anything of my father at all?
49772Have n''t you any other name than Hagar?
49772Have n''t you got any pretty patchwork nor nothin''?
49772Have we got it in the library at Gilead Balm?
49772Have you been to Gilead Balm?
49772Have you got gipsy blood in you?
49772Have you got one?
49772Have you got to go? 49772 Have you had any since you set up in this remarkable way for yourself?"
49772Have you heard from Lily?
49772Have you heard from Rose Darragh?
49772Have you heard them say how many days it will be before I am on my feet again?
49772Have you ladies seen Hagar Ashendyne? 49772 Have you seen the evening paper?"
49772Her husband hurt and ca n''t get to him to nurse him?
49772Hi, Gipsy,he said, when Hagar came and stood by him;"what''s the matter with breakfast this morning?"
49772Home to-- to Gilead Balm?
49772How can you know that your judgment is good?
49772How is mother?
49772How is my mother?
49772How long are you going to be in Nassau?
49772How long since that summer at the New Springs? 49772 How many days have you now?"
49772How numerous do you think are those women?
49772How''s yo''ma this mahnin''?
49772How, you mean, can I help it? 49772 I did n''t suppose you could do that.--What_ do_ you earn?"
49772I hope I may be.--What are you knitting, grandmother?
49772I think that I''m going to have an apartment in New York this winter, and if I do, wo n''t you make me a pincushion? 49772 I wonder now,"she said,"if you''re goin''to grow up a rebel?
49772I wonder what you''d say if I said that charity-- charity in your sense-- is one of woman''s worst weaknesses? 49772 I''m old- fashioned enough to believe that a man can_ make_ a woman love him--""Are you?
49772If you''d rather not, Gipsy--? 49772 If you''ve said enough for to- day, grandmother, shall I get the mail?"
49772Indeed?
49772Is it like''Tom Jones''?
49772Is it proper for ladies?
49772Is it your answer?
49772Is it your vacation? 49772 Is it?
49772Is it?... 49772 Is n''t it?
49772Is n''t there another piece about the Campagna? 49772 Is she really going to work if he can get her a place?"
49772Is that your last word?
49772Is there anything else, sir?
49772Is your name Hagar Ashendyne?
49772It''s a pleasant old place, is n''t it?
49772It''s big enough for two, is n''t it?
49772Just what and how much did you tell him?
49772Law, no, chile-- What put dat notion in yo''po''little haid? 49772 Let me see-- what is there to tell?
49772Let us go somewhere where we can talk,said Hagar;"the gardens over there-- have you time?"
49772Live? 49772 M. Morel and Mr. Pollock and you, Miss Carlisle and Miss Bedford, will, I hope, take supper with our guest and me?
49772Maria going to die? 49772 Maria was perfectly spendthrift, and of course you take after her.--What kind of work do you mean you have been doing?"
49772Maria? 49772 May I go play awhile on the ridge?"
49772May I see Jim or his wife?
49772May I sit and talk a little while? 49772 May n''t I see it, too?"
49772Miss Ashendyne, wo n''t you?
49772Miss Goldwell, wo n''t you come, too, to see''Romeo and Juliet''?
49772Miss Smythe, wo n''t you come, too?
49772Money and women are you talking about? 49772 Mr. Chairman, may I say one word to our comrades, and to any others who may be here?
49772Mrs. Green, why are all the shutters closed?
49772Mrs. LeGrand, ca n''t I go into grandmother''s room and hear what Dr. Bude says about my mother?
49772My dear Miss Eden, how did all this begin? 49772 No one knows, Hagar, what''s going to happen in this old world, do they?
49772November or April, what is ze difference? 49772 Of whom are you speaking, Hagar?"
49772Oh, I think so,said Rachel absently,"but would it really amuse you, Hagar?"
49772Oh, Lily, how is your head? 49772 Oh, Mr. Laydon, a briar has caught my skirt-- Will you--?
49772Oh,cried Hagar,"do n''t they make you feel timid, cautious, and conservative?"
49772Oh,she called,"will you stop-- will you wait?"
49772Ought you to have run away? 49772 Out where?"
49772Pleasant fellows, are n''t they?
49772Ralph, do you wish still to be friends, or do you wish me to put you one side of the Equator and myself on the other? 49772 Ralph, why do n''t you study?"
49772Rose went to Brooklyn to- night?
49772Rose?
49772Serena,appealed Mrs. LeGrand,"_ do_ you think Hagar ought to be allowed to contaminate her mind by a book like that?"
49772She does n''t mean that she''s friends with those brazen women who want to be men? 49772 She was sorry to see you, too, was n''t she?
49772Since I came?
49772Some wave will swamp us?
49772Suppose you do not begin the arrangement until next year? 49772 That I am just the same?--That I love you still?"
49772That is very nice of you to look her up, but do you think you ought to go alone?
49772The Princess of Wales keeps her beauty, does she not?
49772The copepods? 49772 The other half?"
49772Then,said Rachel,"we will get along very well.... What do you want to do anyhow?"
49772There is a natural history museum here, is n''t there?
49772There''s a woman over there who has a wonderful face-- brooding and wise.... A teacher is n''t she? 49772 They are going to live on there?"
49772They are so excited over the prospect of your speaking to them after supper,said Mrs. LeGrand, her hand upon the coffee urn.--"Cream and sugar?"
49772They''d tell you, would n''t they, if my mother was going to die?
49772Thomasine Dale? 49772 Tired?
49772To Hagar?
49772To live at Gilead Balm with Bob and Serena?
49772Was it named''Evolution''?
49772Was n''t the Canal good enough? 49772 Was this-- was this New York?"
49772Was you looking for the Greens?
49772Water tastes good,he said,"does n''t it?"
49772Well, Gipsy, we always wanted to travel, did n''t we? 49772 Well, Reverend, if we''re only two words apart-- Are you going to stay here?
49772Well, and what do you girls want to see first?
49772Well?
49772Well?
49772What are you doing here?
49772What day of the month?
49772What did you do that for? 49772 What did you do?"
49772What did you do?
49772What did you like best?
49772What do you like to do and to talk about?
49772What do you mean, grandfather? 49772 What do you mean?--That you want to become a rich man?"
49772What do you say, Gipsy, to risking a South American Revolution? 49772 What do you want to do that for?"
49772What dress are you going to wear?
49772What else is there, mother? 49772 What have they got the dogs out for?"
49772What have you done now, Hagar? 49772 What is going on?"
49772What is it that you do want?
49772What is it? 49772 What is it?
49772What is my sort? 49772 What is the matter?
49772What is the trouble with Hagar? 49772 What is your name?"
49772What kind of people are they? 49772 What should I do with it when it was done, and if I liked it-- which you know, Greer, is not dead certain?
49772What time is it?
49772What we gwine do? 49772 What were they?"
49772What will they say at Gilead Balm-- oh, what will they say at Gilead Balm?
49772What would it be?
49772What would you like to do with it, Gipsy?
49772What you doin''dat for?
49772What you shakin''for?
49772What''s grieving you, little girl?
49772What''s happened? 49772 What''s here?"
49772What''s the matter?
49772What''s the matter?
49772What,he said,"is_ your_ vision of the country that is coming?"
49772What,she said,"does a man or woman do in a dusty day''s march of every great transit?
49772When may I see grandfather?
49772When,asked Hagar,"are you going to build another bridge?"
49772When,asked Old Miss,"are you going to marry-- and whom?"
49772Where are they gone?
49772Where are you going, dear?
49772Where did you send it? 49772 Where did you two find each other?"
49772Where is Thomson?
49772Where will we go to- morrow afternoon?
49772While you were with Medway?
49772Who is it speaking?
49772Who is it?
49772Who on earth can that be?
49772Who should?
49772Who''s afraid of a little bit of storm anyhow?
49772Why are n''t you at the University with Blackstone under your arm?
49772Why could n''t you,said Mrs. LeGrand,"do both?
49772Why do you call it that, Colonel? 49772 Why is it that women do n''t have any money?"
49772Why not eternally the man of the past? 49772 Why not?
49772Why should n''t you all go? 49772 Why should they set traps?"
49772Why, are n''t there books enough here?
49772Why, my dear father, what are you doing here?... 49772 Why?"
49772Why?
49772Will you be-- Are you much hurt?
49772Without a man?
49772Wo n''t you take them-- dear Hagar?
49772Would you listen, Ralph?
49772Wrong things?
49772Yes, Gipsy? 49772 Yes, and where else do you think I went?
49772Yes, but--"Can you sing?
49772Yes, father?
49772Yes, it is very pretty.... You did n''t see Sylvie Maine-- Sylvie Carter-- when you were in New York?
49772Yes, mother?
49772Yes-- much better.... Where shall we go to- morrow?
49772Yes? 49772 You are going down the river, are n''t you?"
49772You are going to England, too?
49772You are sleeping better?
49772You do n''t have friends and correspondents who are working for_ that_?
49772You do n''t mind if I sit on the edge of the porch and dangle my feet, do you? 49772 You enjoyed it?"
49772You liked it, did n''t you?
49772You mentioned the University? 49772 You remember Bessie, do n''t you?
49772You should have married Ralph.... All these years have you had any other offers?
49772You''re aware that you''re marrying a working- woman, who intends to continue to work?
49772You''ve heard of the cat that always falls on its feet? 49772 You, Hagar?
49772_ Do_ you want to go, John? 49772 _ Hagar Ashendyne_--You ca n''t be-- do you mean that you are-- Hagar Ashendyne, the writer?"
49772A silence while the trees and the flowering blackberry bushes went by; then,"Aunt Serena--""Yes?"
49772After all, why should it fatigue more than standing in cathedrals, walking through art galleries?
49772Ah, I understand Medway, from hair to heel!--What comes of it all?
49772An afghan?
49772And I thought,''Why not I as well as another?''
49772And Molly and Christopher would come to see her?
49772And now will you tell me about yourself?"
49772And now, my dear, will you tell Mrs. Lane that I want to see her?"
49772And still you could travel-- sometimes with me, sometimes without me-- travel often if you pleased and far and wide.... Would it be so distasteful?"
49772And that, generally speaking, the Woman Movement has me for keeps?"
49772And the people who work under your direction, and atom by atom give you power?"
49772And then why not feel that you had, so to speak, the rest in trust, and give liberally, so much a year, to all kinds of worthy enterprises?
49772And your people up the river-- why not_ not_ tell them until summer- time?
49772Are you a fisherman, too?"
49772Are you coming to supper?"
49772Are you feeling badly?"
49772Are you fond of the theatre?"
49772Are you going to the World''s Fair?"
49772Are you wilful?"
49772As they passed Mrs. Maine''s door she asked sleepily from within,"Did you enjoy the play?"
49772But I can take the morning train if you''d rather?"
49772But after that, oh, steadily after that, it lessened--""''Lessened''!--You mean that you are not in love with me as you were?"
49772But could n''t they work in the country?
49772But having done it, our own judgment has to determine at last, has n''t it?
49772But how to convey that fact to the old Bourbon up the river?
49772But she is too sensible a woman to think that I meant anything seriously--""Did you?"
49772But what could you expect?
49772But what have they to do with''freer''and''freest''?
49772But you yourself--""But I myself?"
49772Ca n''t I-- wouldn''t you-- can''t I-- give her just a little?"
49772Ca n''t you come with me and have a cup of tea?
49772Can you swim?"
49772Captain Bob, with his hound Luna at his heels, greeted the returning members of the family:"Well, Serena, did you have a pleasant visit?
49772Comment vous nommez- vous?"
49772Damn it, where''d we be but for women anyhow?
49772Did Mrs. LeGrand say so?"
49772Did she like it?
49772Did she live with Marietta Green and Jim?"
49772Did you drop out of the sky?
49772Did you gather, Gipsy, that Thomson had told him that he would remain crippled?"
49772Did you have a tiresome journey?--Is your trunk coming?
49772Discouragements?
49772Do n''t you know that little girls ought to mind?"
49772Do n''t you know, Gipsy, that something like that is the career for a man like me?
49772Do n''t you like it?"
49772Do n''t you want a hansom?"
49772Do n''t you want me to do your hair?"
49772Do n''t you want me to take you one day to see the shrine where he keeps his idol and watch him providing acceptable sacrifice?
49772Do n''t you want to go along?"
49772Do n''t you?"
49772Do the women fish, too?"
49772Do you chance to know Elizabeth Eden?"
49772Do you grudge me this half- year in between?"
49772Do you know any of them?"
49772Do you like this place?"
49772Do you mind, very much?"
49772Do you notice how they always put Wife first?
49772Do you remember the day we climbed there?"
49772Do you remember the great pine above the spring?"
49772Do you remember the rain barrel?"
49772Do you remember?"
49772Do you think I owe my father so great a love and obedience?"
49772Do you want to_ take_ me, regardless-- just as you''d take those millions?
49772Does he undertake to support them, stay by his bargain, however poor a one?
49772Everything all right?"
49772For instance,"said Hagar,"is it wrong to write on both sides of the paper?"
49772Glass of water?
49772God was everywhere; then, was God right here, too?
49772Got any rags?"
49772Green?"
49772Had he not gone over them to himself afterwards, in his homely, cheerfully commonplace room in the brown cottage outside the Eglantine grounds?
49772Hagar looked at her large- eyed,"Is my mother going to die, Aunt Phoebe?"
49772Hagar, how old are you?"
49772Has the University burned down?
49772Have I offended you in any way, Hagar?"
49772Have n''t you liked this winter?"
49772Have you been expelled?"
49772Have you broken your doll, poor dear?"
49772Have you got a holiday?"
49772Have you got that menthol pencil still?"
49772Have you heard from Thomasine?"
49772Have you?"
49772He is a great traveller-- we do not see as much of him as we should like to see, do we, Hagar?"
49772He is pretty badly knocked to pieces.--What have you got there?
49772He went an hour ago.--You''re hoping, I suppose, for a letter from that dreadful man?"
49772How can any thinking woman not think of that?
49772How do you feel about it?"
49772How long are you going to stay at Hawk Nest?"
49772How old were you the last time we met?"
49772How the devil did you get into that galley?"
49772Hurt?
49772I am here this winter with my father.... And you?"
49772I came up here to meet you because I wanted to find out-- to know-- to be certain, at once--""To find out-- to know-- to be certain of what?"
49772I do n''t believe you have ever really considered-- And I intend one day to make you see--""See what?
49772I do n''t remember.--A kind of crash.... What happened?"
49772I do n''t suppose,"said Dr. Bude,"that it would be possible for her to travel?"
49772I only want to know plain things-- A, B, C''s of how to manage--""About a manuscript, you mean?"
49772I should be bored to extinction.--What is your alternative?"
49772I went to school with her--""The writer?"
49772I wonder if you do n''t remember her, that summer long ago at the New Springs?"
49772I would n''t stay long.--And what have you been doing this winter?"
49772I''ll put you on the Elevated in plenty of time.--What people were you looking for?"
49772If I saw any end to it... but I do not--""And you wish to cut the painter?
49772If it was n''t going to last, what was going to make things better?
49772If only there was a little more compliance, more feminine sweetness, more-- if I may say so-- unselfishness--""Where,"asked the Bishop,"is Medway?"
49772If so, why?
49772If they could n''t pay the rent, how could they pay for six to go down to Virginia-- and the children''s clothes, and the food and everything?...
49772If you look pretty, how can people help liking you?
49772If you tell me the way I can find it--""You are not a Catholic?"
49772In what are they especially interested?"
49772Is father ill?
49772Is he coming home?"
49772Is he hanged or struck by lightning?
49772Is n''t he going to suffer?
49772Is n''t it better just to keep our own concerns to ourselves for a while?
49772Is n''t it divine?"
49772Is n''t that the thinking rôle for every properly brought- up girl?
49772Is n''t that thunder?"
49772Is that Hagar?
49772Is the word''rebellion''so strange to you?
49772Is there any one else who could speak?"
49772Is there anything else you can think of at the moment?"
49772It sang,''Yes, rather handsome, but do n''t you find her dreadfully unfeminine?''"
49772It took us so by surprise.... We had best, I think, just quietly say nothing to anybody for a while.... Do n''t you think so?"
49772Let me see-- where can we meet?
49772Luna here, now,--Luna''s got a roving disposition-- haven''t you, old girl?"
49772May I come in?"
49772May I have my letter, grandfather?"
49772Medway made an impatient movement,"We have had this before--""Yes, but not so determinedly.... Why not agree that the battle is over?
49772Miss Bedford, will you please wait here with me just a minute?
49772Morel?"
49772Mr. Laydon, Mrs. LeGrand says will you come into the parlour?
49772Mrs. Lane, wo n''t you go?"
49772No one with girls in their charge can be too careful!--What is the Gilead Balm news?"
49772No pain, no feeling, no people, no light, no sound, no anything?"
49772No; they were n''t going to do anything to him, they were just going to take him back.--He had n''t hurt her, had he?
49772Nor if I take off my hat and roll up my sleeves so that I can feel the air on my arms?"
49772Now are you-- now are you?"
49772Now, did I dream it or did Thomson tell me that he''d brought my daughter with him?"
49772Now, sir--"he turned on Laydon--"what have you got to say for yourself?"
49772Of what shall I talk to them?
49772Say, ai n''t they gettin''too big for their places?"
49772See my enormous advantage in marrying you?
49772Shall I sing you to sleep?"
49772She ai n''t notionate-- are you, Luna?
49772She had the address, and upon showing it to Rachel the latter had pronounced it"poor but respectable,"adding,"Are you sure you ought to go alone?"
49772She says she''s going to work with them?
49772She went on now with one of the children''s rhymes:--"Baa, baa, Black Sheep, Have you any wool?"
49772Simply turn round and say to him''Mr.--''What''s his name?--Layton?"
49772So you see,"said Mrs. LeGrand, smoothly argumentative,"what''s the use of stirring up the bottoms of things?
49772Tea?
49772The open road-- and a clear fire at night-- and to see all things--""Hagar-- Why did they call you Hagar?"
49772The true survivor-- wouldn''t you like to see him-- see her-- see_ us_, Molly?"
49772The very latest thing, I suppose, in fancy- work-- or perhaps you do pastels?"
49772Then the man said,"This is the nobler use, do n''t you think?"
49772Then was she wicked?
49772Then will you take your grandmother''s big knitting- needles back to her for me?
49772Then, as to Mrs. LeGrand.... Of course, I suppose, as I am a teacher here, and you are a pupil... but there, too, had we not best delay a little?
49772Tom will have told you that I sometimes use my tongue, and that''s the ancient woman, still, is n''t it?
49772Two women behind Lily Fay whispered together excitedly,"Hagar Ashendyne?"
49772Uncle Bob--""Well, chicken?"
49772Want to come along?"
49772Was Amy really to blame in"Locksley Hall"?
49772Was Hagar delighted?
49772Was it a constant; was it going to last?
49772Was it right to run away?"
49772Was it to me you were speaking?"
49772Was she five or six years old the last time she had seen him?
49772Was she missing Laydon?
49772Was there no one who could send them money?
49772Was there something direfully wrong with her nature, or was it possible for people simply to be mistaken in such a matter?
49772We''re all human together, are n''t we?
49772Well, Colonel?"
49772Well, what happens?
49772Well, what''s the use of a woman quarrelling with the world as it''s made?
49772Well?
49772Were n''t you at the lock up the river?
49772What am I to say--""To people?
49772What are you doing, Hagar, with an improper book?"
49772What could make me tired a day like this?
49772What did Mr. Laydon think Browning really meant in"Childe Roland,"and was Porphyria''s lover really mad?
49772What did it matter, all those things?
49772What did she think of Juliet?--What did she think of Romeo?--Was it not well- staged?
49772What do you know about''Tom Jones''?"
49772What do you make of them?"
49772What do you think they''re talking about over there?
49772What do you want to put your feet on the table and smoke cigars for?"
49772What else?"
49772What is it you want now?"
49772What is it, Colonel?"
49772What is it?"
49772What is that fragrance-- those strange lilies?
49772What is the matter?
49772What kind of a fellow is he, Hagar?--Like me?"
49772What on earth are you doing in Omega Street?"
49772What was Poverty?
49772What were they?"
49772What''s it about?"
49772What''s it all about?"
49772What''s that?
49772What''s the matter, Hagar?"
49772When are you going to hear?"
49772When, after another minute or two, they were gone from the room,"Were you waiting for them to go?
49772Where are you staying?"
49772Where on earth did you come from?
49772Where the cleanness and fairness-- where the order and beauty?
49772Where there is no love and honour, what is the use?
49772Where was the noble, great city?
49772Where were the domes and colonnades?
49772Where were the happy people?
49772Where?
49772Who could help being optimistic on such an afternoon?
49772Who ever supposed there were n''t Jacobins in every historic struggle for liberty?
49772Who will it be, Miss Gage?"
49772Who''s been writing to you?
49772Why ca n''t we just walk about until bedtime?"
49772Why could n''t you give a handsome donation-- give a really large amount to this charity?
49772Why do you change and grow from age to age?"
49772Why do you not change your mind and go?"
49772Why does n''t that moment carry on over?
49772Why had n''t Thomasine-- why had n''t Jim let them know?
49772Why not''The eternal masculine''?
49772Why not''There is n''t any other''?
49772Why should he trouble?
49772Why should n''t he help now that he can do so?
49772Why should n''t you come?
49772Why should the world pry into it?"
49772Why talk about it?
49772Why was Poverty?
49772Why will you, Denny?"
49772Why, who keeps anything from Thomson?
49772Why?"
49772Will you come to my flat?"
49772Will you come to- morrow at four?"
49772Will you have one?"
49772Will you let it all rest for a little longer?
49772Wo n''t you come to dinner with me-- both of you?
49772Wo n''t you come to the platform?"
49772Would he not take it with her father and herself?
49772Yesterday was lonesome and to- morrow''s going to be lonesome--""Have n''t you got a good book?
49772You go pick your raspberries, and maybe to- morrow you can see her--""Ca n''t I see her to- night?"
49772You goin''to play on the ridge?
49772You''re real helpful.--What was I saying?
49772cried Laydon, maddened, too,"are you going to say that?"
49772do you think I shall weep for that?...
49772exclaimed Mrs. LeGrand;"wo n''t you come here and talk to this little girl?"
49772he said with cheerfulness,"It''s a pretty comfortable boat, eh?
5119A good or a bad omen?
5119A lady friend of mine, sir?
5119A man at twenty- eight? 5119 About to be?"
5119Achetez des fleurs, monsieur, pour la jolie dame?
5119After all,she added in an effort to appear cheerful,"what matter where we live so long as we have each other?"
5119Ah, that''s just it-- how?
5119Ah, your daughter-- you have a daughter?
5119Am I as bad as that?
5119An injustice?
5119And marry her?
5119And so he must be sacrificed?
5119And what do you think was the reason for preserving the anonymity?
5119And you, father-- do you believe Ryder did this?
5119Another friend like that of yesterday?
5119Any relation to J.B.?
5119Anything against her character?
5119Are n''t you proud of me, dad?
5119Are the Republican Committee still waiting?
5119Because?
5119Blame you? 5119 But because a woman has a good character, that does n''t necessarily make her a desirable match, does it?"
5119But can such things be in a civilized community?
5119But if-- he loves Judge Rossmore''s daughter?
5119But what are you going to do?
5119But what can you do?
5119But why should you punish me because my father fails to regard the matter as we do?
5119But,said Shirley puzzled,"I shall have to tell him that you--""What?"
5119By the way, Bagley,asked Jefferson,"when do you expect father to return?
5119Can I do anything for you, Miss?
5119Can not he be exposed, wo n''t the press take the matter up, can not we show conspiracy?
5119Combien?
5119Could n''t you compel him to return them?
5119Criminal?
5119Did n''t you ask me to see you here?
5119Did they tell you who I am-- the daughter of Judge Rossmore?
5119Did you ask for me, sir? 5119 Did you have a good time?"
5119Did you tell Shirley?
5119Did you want to see me, father?
5119Do n''t you agree with me?
5119Do n''t you think your daughter should be informed of what has happened?
5119Do n''t you want to walk a little?
5119Do they?
5119Do you expect me to sit and listen patiently to your wild theories of social reform? 5119 Do you know what she has done?"
5119Do you mean to say that if you had positive proof?
5119Do you really believe this, that John Ryder deliberately concocted the bribery charge with the sole purpose of ruining my father?
5119Do you still intend going away?
5119Do you think I''d marry a man whose father is as deep a discredit to the human race as your father is? 5119 Does she mean it?"
5119Does your son still love this girl? 5119 Doing?"
5119Elope with the secretary?
5119Finally?
5119Five thousand dollars?
5119From Judge Rossmore, were they not?
5119From whom did you receive these letters?
5119Gone away-- where?
5119Has Sergeant Ellison come?
5119Has any woman sifted it over?
5119Have n''t you a word of shame for this disgrace you have brought upon me?
5119Have you absolute proof in that drawer?
5119Have you anything to add?
5119Have you ever seen these letters before?
5119Have you found the author of''The American Octopus''?
5119Have you stopped to think whether it would be fair to me?
5119Have you?
5119Hello, Jorkins, are you there? 5119 Hello, Shirley,"he cried gaily;"who would have expected to find you rusticating on a bench here?
5119How are you going to tell him?
5119How are you, Mr. Grimsby? 5119 How dare you address me in this manner when you know I and Mr. Ryder are engaged?"
5119How dare you presume to judge my actions or to criticise my methods?
5119How dare you treat my things in this manner?
5119How did she take it?
5119How did you know it was Judge Rossmore?
5119How did you make it?
5119How do you know?
5119How does he take it?
5119How is your father?
5119How? 5119 I could stay here forever, could n''t you?"
5119I mean, what can you show as your life work? 5119 I often--""If I let you?"
5119I suppose we can guess what the business is, eh?
5119I think it would postpone the era of the Brotherhood of man indefinitely, do n''t you?
5119I-- er-- we-- er-- my sister Jane and I called to--"Wo n''t you sit down?
5119If the history of every financial transaction were made known, how many of us would escape public disgrace? 5119 If you had absolute proof in that drawer, for instance?
5119In what category would I be placed?
5119Is father still reading this?
5119Is it a bargain?
5119Is it their own?
5119Is it true then that he is selfishness incarnate? 5119 Is it true?"
5119Is marriage so very commonplace?
5119Is my father in?
5119Is n''t it beautiful?
5119Is n''t it delightful here?
5119Is n''t it?
5119Is n''t that rather strong?
5119Is not the road rich enough to bear the loss?
5119Is that you, Bagley? 5119 Is there?"
5119It is n''t that Rossmore girl, is it?
5119It''s a cute little house, is n''t it?
5119It''s a point in her favor, is n''t it?
5119Jane, do you know you are uttering a blasphemy? 5119 Let me see,"stammered the secretary,"there is the White Star, the North German Lloyd, the Atlantic Transport--""Have you any preference?"
5119Make her my wife?
5119May I come in to say good- bye?
5119May I come in?
5119May I have a few minutes of your time, father?
5119Miss Shirley Rossmore?
5119My dear Miss Green,she gasped;"what''s this I hear-- going away suddenly without giving me warning?"
5119My dear boy, when did you arrive?
5119My dear child,he said,"what are you talking about?
5119Not even if I had the absolute proof in that drawer?
5119Now tell me,he said,"what does it all mean?
5119Of course, you''re not going to- night?
5119Oh no-- no but----"No engagement at eleven o''clock to- morrow morning?
5119Oh say-- this is hardly fair-- three against one-- really-- I''m awfully sorry, eh, what?
5119Oh,exclaimed, the financier,"then you think it is a mere nom de plume?"
5119Oh,laughed Jefferson,"he''s afraid some one will kidnap him?
5119Perhaps I had better go?
5119Please, miss, will you come down to lunch?
5119Prejudices against a thousand million dollars?
5119Prying, did you say?
5119Ready for work again, eh? 5119 Really?"
5119Returns to England?
5119Run away with her?
5119Say, Bagley,he cried,"what does this mean?
5119Say?
5119Shirley,he said,"do you remember that talk we had on the ship?
5119So bad that I contaminate even good money?
5119So his fate is decided even before he is tried?
5119So she has refused you again, eh?
5119So soon?
5119So that is the mysterious work you spoke of-- to get those letters?
5119So you are Shirley Green, eh?
5119So you think your life is a good example to follow?
5119So you thought my daughter looked pale and that a little excursion to Buffalo would be a good thing for her? 5119 So you''re not going away now?"
5119So,he said sternly,"this is your latest act of rebellion, is it?
5119Something of the sort-- how did you guess?
5119Something to compensate?
5119Suppose the injunction is sustained?
5119Suppose,she said,"we all wanted to follow it, suppose we all wanted to be the richest, the most powerful personage in the world?"
5119Surely you can guess when I say the most powerful man in the United States? 5119 Tell me,"he repeated,"what do the papers say about the book?"
5119That is right,he replied;"but which is likely to give you greater joy-- a literary success or a happy wifehood?
5119That means that Judge Rossmore will be removed?
5119The dying father, the sorrowing mother-- and the daughter, what is she supposed to be doing?
5119The law?
5119Then why did you remain here with me when the Senator went out with Mr. Ryder, senior?
5119Those letters my father speaks of-- they would be useful, would they not?
5119To meet me and my son?
5119To- morrow?
5119Upstairs-- three rooms, eh? 5119 We are very fortunate in having such pleasant weather, do n''t you think so, Madam?
5119Well, Bagley?
5119Well, Jefferson,he said kindly,"did you have a good time abroad?"
5119Well, Sergeant, what have you got to report?
5119Well, is that all?
5119Well, sergeant,said Mr. Ryder cordially,"what have you to tell me?
5119Well, what do you say?
5119Well, what have you been doing about the book?
5119Well, what of it?
5119Well-- what then?
5119Well?
5119What about these newspaper charges? 5119 What did you say?"
5119What do I care what the world says when I''m dead?
5119What do you mean, child? 5119 What do you mean, sir?"
5119What do you mean? 5119 What do you mean?"
5119What do you mean?
5119What do you mean?
5119What do you want me to call you?
5119What have I done?
5119What have they done to you?
5119What have you got there?
5119What is socialism?
5119What is the moral of your life?
5119What letters do you refer to?
5119What objection has your son to Miss Roberts?
5119What rabble?
5119What reasons?
5119What steamers leave to- morrow for England?
5119What will it give the public that it has not got already?
5119What will you do?
5119What''s brought you from Washington at a critical time like this? 5119 What''s that about mother dancing?"
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s the matter?
5119What''s the objection to the girl?
5119What?
5119When do they attend lectures?
5119When do they read?
5119When shall we be in, captain?
5119Where are the letters?
5119Where are you going?
5119Where is his daughter?
5119Where''s father?
5119Where''s your list?
5119Where,he asked,"Madison Avenue?"
5119Who are they?
5119Who else?
5119Who the devil is this Bagley?
5119Who told you that?
5119Who was here first?
5119Who''s there?
5119Who''s there?
5119Who,he added,"would have the courage to marry a girl whose father was publicly disgraced?"
5119Who?
5119Why ca n''t you govern yourself?
5119Why did you do this?
5119Why do n''t you shake hands with her?
5119Why do n''t you study women for a change?
5119Why do you ask? 5119 Why do you want to add to the girl''s misery?
5119Why not be accurate?
5119Why not call me Jefferson? 5119 Why not study theology and become a preacher?"
5119Why not? 5119 Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why should I punish myself-- why should we punish those nearest and dearest?
5119Why so sober,demanded Ryder,"you''ve gained your point, your father is to be restored to you, you''ll marry the man you love?"
5119Why, Jeff, my boy, is that you? 5119 Why, Miss Rossmore, what are you doing out driving?"
5119Why, is he wild?
5119Why, is it you, Jeff? 5119 Why?"
5119Wie geht es, meine damen?
5119Will you trust me to go alone?
5119With my daughter?
5119Work?
5119Would you sacrifice my happiness and your own?
5119Yes, yes, Shir-- Miss Green, will you?
5119Yes,said Kate, taking a letter from her bosom,"I wanted to ask you what this means?"
5119Yet what good is your money to you?
5119You are going away?
5119You cabled for Shirley?
5119You cabled for Shirley?
5119You came to ask your father to help you?
5119You do n''t think my life would make good reading?
5119You expected to see Senator Roberts, did n''t you?
5119You going away-- where to?
5119You have work to do-- what work?
5119You may be right and yet--"Am I to help you or not?
5119You mean you think I want to listen to you?
5119You never proposed to run away with my daughter?
5119You sent for me, father?
5119You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus?''
5119You wish to see me, Madame?
5119You work, Shirley? 5119 You-- Miss Green?"
5119You? 5119 You?"
5119You?
5119You?
5119Your book--''The American Octopus,''is selling well?
5119Your enemies?
5119A man''s life at stake?
5119After a silence he said:"Do you know you say the strangest things?"
5119Ah, why had she spared him in her book?
5119Ah, would n''t it be sublime selfishness?"
5119Am I right?"
5119And even if he did not how could she possibly find those letters with him watching her, and all in the brief time of a conventional afternoon call?
5119And what of the future?
5119And what, asks the foreigner, has the American hustler accomplished that his slower- going Continental brother has not done as well?
5119And you-- you have the brazen effrontery to ask me to plead for your father?
5119Are you afraid I shall love you?
5119Are you afraid he will love you?
5119Are you prepared to reconstruct human nature?"
5119Are you willing to sacrifice your son''s future to a mere boyish whim?"
5119Are you--?"
5119Arranging the pillow under her head, he asked:"Is that comfortable?"
5119As a gentle hint he said softly:"Did I interrupt you, Madam?"
5119As to the newspapers-- when did you ever hear of them championing a man when he''s down?"
5119Back from Europe, Jefferson?
5119Besides, was not Mr. Ryder returning home on the same ship?
5119Besides,"she added,"what right have I to object?"
5119But Ryder, Sr., continued:"Do I care?
5119But before he could open his mouth Mr. Ryder said:"Bagley, when did you see my son, Jefferson, last?"
5119But by what strange fatality, he thought to himself, had his daughter in this book of hers assailed the very man who had encompassed his own ruin?
5119But did she care for him?
5119But evidently she thought better of it, for, taking a cue from Mrs. Rossmore, she asked in the sarcastic manner of her mistress:"Four is it now, M''m?
5119But how about this?"
5119But how could he employ her?
5119But how could he tell Shirley?
5119But how could they be got at?
5119But how on earth did Judge Rossmore''s daughter come to be travelling in the company of John Burkett Ryder''s son?
5119But is the judiciary hostile?
5119But it was smart of Jefferson to have sent Ryder, Sr., the book, so she smiled graciously on his son as she asked:"How do you know he got it?
5119But she could never remain angry long, and when they said good- night she whispered demurely:"Are you cross with me, Jeff?"
5119But what was being done?
5119But where''s the daughter now?"
5119But, thought Jefferson, why should he spoil a good thing?
5119By what mysterious agency had this man penetrated his own most intimate thoughts?
5119CHAPTER IV"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
5119Ca n''t you see,"he asked,"what a false position it places me in?
5119Can you guess what it was?"
5119Can you wait till I''m through?
5119Come, what do you say?"
5119Come, what is it?"
5119Come, will you join forces with me?"
5119Could Jefferson''s father have done them such a wrong as this?
5119Could he be dreaming?
5119Could he do so again?
5119Could he dream that the Great Northwestern Mining Company and the company to which he had entrusted his few thousands were one and the same?
5119Could it be that the proceedings in the Senate were ended and the result known?
5119Could one have fine houses to live in, or all sorts of modern conveniences to add to one''s comfort, without money?
5119Could she believe her ears?
5119Could she conceal them?
5119Could the book- lover buy books, the art- lover purchase pictures?
5119Could the human mind grasp the possibilities of such a colossal fortune?
5119Could this, she thought, explain Jefferson''s strange behaviour?
5119Determined, eh?
5119Did Judge Rossmore take a bribe from the Great Northwestern or did n''t he?
5119Did she love him?
5119Did you ever read the fable of the Lion and the Mouse?
5119Did you go down to Massapequa?"
5119Do n''t you think she has suffered enough?"
5119Do you know a little place on Long Island called Massapequa?"
5119Do you know that I practically control the Congress of the United States and that no legislative measure becomes law unless it has my approval?"
5119Do you know that a man does n''t get his horse sense till he''s forty?"
5119Do you know who the hero is?"
5119Do you know you''re the first woman I ever took into my confidence-- I mean at sight?"
5119Do you realize that my wealth is so vast that I scarcely know myself what I am worth?
5119Do you suppose for one instant that I would condescend to trouble myself with your affairs?"
5119Do you think I''m fool enough to suppose I can buy my way?
5119Does n''t that tell you what the world thinks of your methods?"
5119Does she know of this radical change in your affairs?"
5119Father is going to clear his name of this preposterous charge and we''re going to help him, are n''t we, mother?
5119Finally losing patience she asked him bluntly:"Jefferson, what''s the matter with you to- night?
5119Five millions or competition?
5119For a moment her heart stood still-- suppose the shock of this shameful accusation had killed him?
5119For what?"
5119General Dodge?
5119Going away?
5119Had Ryder any twinges of conscience?
5119Had Ryder really got some plan up his sleeve after all?
5119Had he come, after all?
5119Had he not made a cool twenty millions by the deal?
5119Had his insensate craving for gold and power led him to neglect those other things in life which contribute more truly to man''s happiness?
5119Had my son been seen there?"
5119Had the forces of right and justice prevailed, after all?
5119Has not a President of the United States declared that the State must eventually curb the great fortunes?
5119Has not the flag of socialism waved recently from the White House?
5119Have you ever stopped to think of that?"
5119He must be saved in the Senate, but how-- how?
5119He must do something to prevent it; the marriage must not take place, but what could he do?
5119He repeated:"Did n''t you hear me?
5119He restrained his impatience with difficulty as he replied:"Whose side am I on?
5119He whispered:"What were you thinking of me-- good or bad?"
5119Her face transfigured, radiant she exclaimed breathlessly:"What, Mr. Ryder, you mean that you are going to help my father?"
5119Her thoughts travelling faster than the ship, Shirley suddenly asked:"Do you really think Mr. Ryder will use his influence to help my father?"
5119His business methods I consider disgraceful-- you understand that, do n''t you, Shirley?"
5119How can my love of power do you an injustice?"
5119How can you expect to reach Ryder?
5119How could I think anything bad of you?"
5119How could he fight them back, what could he do to protect himself?
5119How could she become the daughter- in- law of the man who had ruined her own father?
5119How dare they make him out such a monster?
5119How did you come to call on father?"
5119How did you do it?
5119How did you guess?"
5119How do you do, Senator?"
5119How is Paris?"
5119How is it that our road can not reach Judge Rossmore and make him presents?"
5119How is the Rossmore case progressing?"
5119How long would the nation tolerate being thus ruthlessly trodden under the unclean heels of an insolent oligarchy?
5119How many literary reputations to- day conceal an aching heart and find it difficult to make both ends meet?
5119How many millions could one man make by honest methods?
5119How many of them would bear the search- light of investigation?
5119How''s father?"
5119I mean the one you abject to?"
5119I suppose you''ve heard about her father?"
5119I thought we had agreed not to discuss Judge Rossmore any further?"
5119I want to ask you, Miss Green, where you got the character of your central figure-- the Octopus, as you call him-- John Broderick?"
5119I--""Do you think this man deserves to be punished?"
5119If I am clever enough to accumulate millions who can stop me?"
5119If it was well paid, why should she not accept?
5119In a coaxing tone he said:"Come, where did you get those details?
5119In a voice that was unnaturally calm, he asked:"Why do n''t you produce them before the Senate?"
5119In other words, was his life a mistake?
5119Is it fair to my church, is it fair to my flock?
5119Is it not indeed fortunate that every nation finds itself superior to its neighbour?
5119Is it not so, Jefferson?"
5119Is it not true that we have been singularly free from litigation until recently, and that most of the decisions were favourable to the road?
5119Is it, therefore, not possible to take life easily and still achieve?
5119Is n''t it still more absurd that we should be helpless and dejected and unhappy because we are on Long Island instead of Madison Avenue?
5119Is n''t that better than a literary reputation?"
5119Is n''t the sting of impotent failure enough to meet without striving against a hopeless love?"
5119Is that not an achievement to relate to future generations?"
5119Is this any of your doing?"
5119It only increases my determination to see her and her--"Suddenly changing the topic he asked:"When do you leave us?"
5119It''s a jolly well written book and raps you American millionaires jolly well-- what?"
5119Jefferson set his jaw fast and the familiar Ryder gleam came into his eyes as he responded:"Why not?
5119Judge Stott?
5119Kate would make him an excellent wife, while what do we know about the other woman?
5119Laying the book down and turning sharply on Shirley, he asked her bluntly:"Do you mean to say that I could n''t stop to- morrow if I wanted to?"
5119May I?"
5119Must I be punished because you have failed?
5119My son wants to see me?
5119Next?"
5119Now she had them, she must not let them go again; yet how could she keep them unobserved?
5119Now what about that Rossmore girl?
5119Of course, why did he not think of it before?
5119Oh, Massapequa is a lovely spot, is n''t it?
5119Oh, father, how could you have done that?
5119Oh, why had he not kept the secretary''s letter?
5119Pourquoi dix francs?
5119Putting her broom aside and placing her arms akimbo she exclaimed in an injured tone:"And it''s a dayther you''ve got now?
5119Ryder ignored the insinuation and proceeded:"What of our boasted free institutions if a man is to be restricted in what he may and may not do?
5119Ryder leaned eagerly forward as he asked her searchingly:"Now who told you that I had my arm tattooed when I was a boy?"
5119Ryder took up the receiver and spoke to the butler downstairs:"Who''s that?
5119Ryder, who had seen nothing of this by- play, said with a sneer:"Surely you did n''t come here to- night to tell me this?"
5119Ryder?"
5119Ryder?"
5119See?"
5119Sergeant Ellison?
5119Shall I make your god my god?
5119She had a sacred duty to perform, it was true; but would it be less well done because she declined to stifle the natural leanings of her womanhood?
5119Shirley''s pulse throbbed faster, but she tried hard to appear unconcerned as she answered:"Oh, my book-- have you read it?"
5119So he rushes from the cradle to the grave, and what''s the good, since he must one day die like all the rest?
5119So it''s her you want to go to, eh?
5119So, in better French than was at Jefferson''s command, she exclaimed:"Ten francs?
5119Suddenly Stott, who was perusing an evening paper, asked:"By the way, where''s your daughter?
5119Suddenly he asked her:"Have you heard from home recently?"
5119Suppose he knew her by sight and roughly accused her of obtaining access to his house under false pretences and then had her ejected by the servants?
5119Tell me, do you think he deserves such a fate?"
5119Tell me,"he added, appealing to her,"why ca n''t I rule my own household, why ca n''t I govern my own child?"
5119That Miss Rossmore was there, was she not?"
5119That''s what you want to avoid, is n''t it?"
5119The financier smiled grimly as he answered:"Your family in general-- me in particular, eh?
5119The financier swung half- round in his chair, the smile of greeting faded out of his face, and his voice was hard as he replied coldly:"Again?
5119The great financier was certainly able to do anything he chose, and had not his son Jefferson promised to win him over to their cause?
5119The man took the letters and disappeared, while Jefferson, impatient, repeated his question:"My doing?"
5119The press--"Mr. Grimsby''s red face grew more apoplectic as he blurted out:"Public opinion and the press be d--- d. Who cares for public opinion?
5119The rumours were true, then?
5119Then addressing Shirley direct he said:"And you, fraulein, I hope you wo n''t be glad the voyage is over?"
5119Then he stopped as if he had changed his mind and turning towards his son he demanded:"Do you mean to say that she has done with you?"
5119Then interrupting himself he said amiably:"Wo n''t you do me the honour to meet my family?"
5119Then quickly she asked:"But what does it matter?
5119Then seriously, she added:"Jeff, why should we act like children?
5119Then she added quickly:"I wonder if your father has seen it?"
5119Then she added:"He''s the father of the girl you do n''t like, is n''t he?"
5119Then turning again to his secretary he asked:"Well, Bagley, what is it?"
5119Then turning on Mrs. Rossmore so suddenly that the poor woman nearly jumped out of her chair he asked:"Do you like strawberries?"
5119Then why raise this barrier between us?"
5119Then, abruptly, she asked:"Do your parents live in New York?"
5119Then, who could tell?
5119There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that says we ca n''t have a daughter without consulting our help, is there?"
5119There was only one way out-- would Stott go?
5119These reflections were suddenly interrupted by the voice of Mrs. Blake calling out:"Shirley, where have you been?
5119This time there''s a woman in the case-- and I need your woman''s wit--""How can I help you?"
5119Turning again to his son, he went on:"Do you see this book?
5119Turning to his sister, who was sitting in her corner like a petrified mummy, he added:"Jane, do you hear?
5119Was he himself to blame?
5119Was he not familiar with every possible phase of the game?
5119Was he willing?
5119Was he?
5119Was it possible that the dreaded Colossus had capitulated and that she had saved her father?
5119Was it possible?
5119Was it possible?
5119Was life worth living without money?
5119Was not this a prize any man might well set himself out to win?
5119Was she serious or merely jesting?
5119Was that not just what she had to offer?
5119Was this love?
5119We have deceived your father, but he will forgive that, wo n''t you?"
5119We intended to run away, did n''t we Fitz?"
5119We never knew how much till to- day, did we?
5119We shall be able to live for ourselves now, eh, father?"
5119We turn after a man in the street and ask, Who is he?
5119Well, do you know what I am going to do?"
5119Well, what are we going to do about this injunction?
5119Well, why not?
5119Were her father''s among them?
5119Were things so bad then?
5119What account will you be able to give?"
5119What are these rumours regarding Judge Rossmore?
5119What are they hiding?
5119What can I do now?
5119What could be done?
5119What could be the meaning of it?
5119What could the Colossus do now to save the situation?
5119What could the girl mean?
5119What could these preposterous and abominable charges mean?
5119What do I care for the world''s respect when my money makes the world my slave?
5119What do you say?"
5119What do you think of him as a type, how would you classify him?"
5119What had Judge Rossmore done, after all, to deserve the frightful punishment the amalgamated interests had caused him to suffer?
5119What have you done?"
5119What is it to be?
5119What is it, boy?"
5119What is it?"
5119What is it?"
5119What is public opinion, anyhow?
5119What is that but socialism?"
5119What is your interest in this matter?"
5119What kind of a woman could she be, this Shirley Green, to dare cross swords with a man whose power was felt in two hemispheres?
5119What of the remedy?
5119What respect can I have for a people that cringe before money and let it rule them?
5119What right had this woman, a stranger both to Judge Rossmore and himself, to come here and catechise him?
5119What singular, mysterious power had this girl acquired over him?
5119What stages still to come, who knows?
5119What strong man had not?
5119What was the country coming to?
5119What was the sense of slaving all one''s life, piling up a mass of money one can not possibly spend, when there is only one life to live?
5119What was the world coming to when a son could talk to his father in this manner?
5119What was this lie they had invented to ruin her father?
5119What was to be done to save her father from this impeachment which she knew well would hurry him to his grave?
5119What would his daughter say-- his Shirley?
5119What would their future be, how could that proud, sensitive man her father bear this humiliation, this disgrace?
5119What''s that to do with me?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What, thought Jefferson, would be the outcome-- Socialism or Anarchy?
5119When is father going to find that fellow out?"
5119When they reached the street the senator inquired in a low tone:"Do you think they really believed Rossmore was influenced in his decision?"
5119Where had she gone, what was this mysterious work of which she had spoken?
5119Where have you children been all afternoon?"
5119Where is Jefferson?"
5119Where is he?"
5119Where is she to- day?
5119Where will you be then?"
5119Where would it end?
5119Who are they?
5119Who else should it be?"
5119Who is this unknown friend?"
5119Who was this woman who knew him so well, who could read his inmost thoughts, who never made a mistake?
5119Who were these strangers that intruded on her privacy offering a consolation she did not want?
5119Why are you ashamed to let him see it?
5119Why had he not come?
5119Why had she attacked him so bitterly?
5119Why had she not told her father at once?
5119Why not ask your father?"
5119Why not now?
5119Why not?
5119Why should Manhattan Island be a happier spot than Long Island?
5119Why should he not be able to put a stop to these preposterous proceedings?
5119Why should he?
5119Why, after all, should she not know happiness like other women?
5119Why?
5119Will you please have a cab here in half an hour?"
5119Will you take it?"
5119Will you?"
5119With a slight tinge of sarcasm he asked:"Is there any man in our public life who is unapproachable from some direction or other?"
5119Would he come to Massapequa?
5119Would he go?
5119Would he miss them?
5119Would he take her?
5119Would his own father?
5119Would it be womanly or honourable on my part to encourage you, unless I felt I reciprocated your feelings?
5119Would n''t he do that much to help a friend?"
5119Would n''t you help him then?"
5119Would she undertake it?
5119Would you?"
5119Yes or No?"
5119Yet what could he do?
5119Yet why not?
5119Yet, she reflected quickly, how could she prevent it?
5119You are going to jilt the girl?"
5119You are going to welsh on your word?
5119You do n''t expect a man to cut loose his own kite, do you?"
5119You know what''s going to happen to him, do n''t you?"
5119You must n''t mind what Mr. Ryder says?
5119You see yourself how impossible a marriage with Miss Rossmore would be, do n''t you?"
5119You understand?"
5119You?"
5119and above that three more--""No,"smiled the judge,"then comes the roof?"
5119asked the senator,"that you were about to marry this man secretly?"
5119burst in Jefferson,"why should she?
5119exclaimed Ryder, Sr."Marriage with someone else?"
5119exclaimed Ryder,"acknowledge to my son that I was in the wrong, that I''ve seen the error of my ways and wish to repent?
5119exclaimed Shirley, changing colour,"you believe that John Burkett Ryder is at the bottom of this infamous accusation against father?"
5119exclaimed her husband,"you have consulted Miss Green on the subject?"
5119he said,"you deliberately sacrificed my interests to save this woman''s father-- you hear him, Miss Green?
5119how are you?"
5119she said, appealing to Ryder,"and you will go to Washington, you will save my father''s honour, his life, you will--?"
14204A good or a bad omen?
14204A lady friend of mine, sir?
14204A man at twenty- eight? 14204 About to be?"
14204After all,she added in an effort to appear cheerful,"what matter where we live so long as we have each other?"
14204Ah, that''s just it-- how?
14204Ah, your daughter-- you have a daughter?
14204Am I as bad as that?
14204An injustice?
14204And marry her?
14204And so he must be sacrificed?
14204And what do you think was the reason for preserving the anonymity?
14204And you, father-- do you believe Ryder did this?
14204Another friend like that of yesterday?
14204Any relation to J.B.?
14204Anything against her character?
14204Are n''t you proud of me, dad?
14204Are the Republican Committee still waiting?
14204Because?
14204Blame you? 14204 But because a woman has a good character, that does n''t necessarily make her a desirable match, does it?"
14204But can such things be in a civilized community?
14204But if-- he loves Judge Rossmore''s daughter?
14204But what are you going to do?
14204But what can you do?
14204But why should you punish me because my father fails to regard the matter as we do?
14204But,said Shirley puzzled,"I shall have to tell him that you--""What?"
14204By the way, Bagley,asked Jefferson,"when do you expect father to return?
14204Can I do anything for you, Miss?
14204Can not he be exposed, wo n''t the press take the matter up, can not we show conspiracy?
14204Could n''t you compel him to return them?
14204Criminal?
14204Did n''t you ask me to see you here?
14204Did they tell you who I am-- the daughter of Judge Rossmore?
14204Did you ask for me, sir?
14204Did you have a good time?
14204Did you tell Shirley?
14204Did you want to see me, father?
14204Do n''t you agree with me?
14204Do n''t you think your daughter should be informed of what has happened?
14204Do n''t you want to walk a little?
14204Do they?
14204Do you expect me to sit and listen patiently to your wild theories of social reform? 14204 Do you know what she has done?"
14204Do you mean to say that if you had positive proof?
14204Do you really believe this, that John Ryder deliberately concocted the bribery charge with the sole purpose of ruining my father?
14204Do you still intend going away?
14204Do you think I''d marry a man whose father is as deep a discredit to the human race as your father is? 14204 Does she mean it?"
14204Does your son still love this girl? 14204 Doing?"
14204Elope with the secretary?
14204Finally?
14204Five thousand dollars?
14204From Judge Rossmore, were they not?
14204From whom did you receive these letters?
14204Gone away-- where?
14204Has Sergeant Ellison come?
14204Has any woman sifted it over?
14204Have n''t you a word of shame for this disgrace you have brought upon me?
14204Have you absolute proof in that drawer?
14204Have you anything to add?
14204Have you ever seen these letters before?
14204Have you found the author of''The American Octopus''?
14204Have you stopped to think whether it would be fair to me?
14204Have you?
14204Hello, Jorkins, are you there? 14204 Hello, Shirley,"he cried gaily;"who would have expected to find you rusticating on a bench here?
14204How are you going to tell him?
14204How are you, Mr. Grimsby? 14204 How dare you address me in this manner when you know I and Mr. Ryder are engaged?"
14204How dare you presume to judge my actions or to criticise my methods?
14204How dare you treat my things in this manner?
14204How did she take it?
14204How did you know it was Judge Rossmore?
14204How do_ you_ know?
14204How does he take it?
14204How is your father?
14204How?
14204I could stay here forever, could n''t you?
14204I mean, What can you show as your life work? 14204 I often--""If I let you?"
14204I suppose we can guess what the business is, eh?
14204I think it would postpone the era of the Brotherhood of man indefinitely, do n''t you?
14204I-- er-- we-- er-- my sister Jane and I called to--"Wo n''t you sit down?
14204If the history of every financial transaction were made known, how many of us would escape public disgrace? 14204 If you had absolute proof in that drawer, for instance?
14204In what category would I be placed?
14204Is father still reading this?
14204Is it a bargain?
14204Is it their own?
14204Is it true then that he is selfishness incarnate? 14204 Is it true"asked the senator,"that you were about to marry this man secretly?"
14204Is marriage so very commonplace?
14204Is my father in?
14204Is n''t it beautiful?
14204Is n''t it delightful here?
14204Is n''t it?
14204Is n''t that rather strong?
14204Is not the road rich enough to bear the loss?
14204Is that you, Bagley? 14204 Is there?"
14204It is n''t that Rossmore girl, is it?
14204It''s a cute little house, is n''t it?
14204It''s a point in her favor, is n''t it?
14204Jane, do you know you are uttering a blasphemy? 14204 Let me see,"stammered the secretary,"there is the White Star, the North German Lloyd, the Atlantic Transport--""Have you any preference?"
14204Make her my wife?
14204May I come in to say good- bye?
14204May I come in?
14204May I have a few minutes of your time, father?
14204Miss Shirley Rossmore?
14204My dear Miss Green,she gasped;"what''s this I hear-- going away suddenly without giving me warning?"
14204My dear boy, when did you arrive?
14204My dear child,he said,"what are you talking about?
14204Not even if I had the absolute proof in that drawer?
14204Now tell me,he said,"what does it all mean?
14204Of course, you''re not going to- night?
14204Oh no-- no but--"No engagement at eleven o''clock tomorrow morning?
14204Oh say-- this is hardly fair-- three against one-- really-- I''m awfully sorry, eh, what?
14204Oh,exclaimed the financier,"then you think it is a mere_ nom de plume_?"
14204Oh,laughed Jefferson,"he''s afraid some one will kidnap him?
14204Perhaps I had better go?
14204Please, miss, will you come down to lunch?
14204Prejudices against a thousand million dollars?
14204Prying, did you say?
14204Ready for work again, eh? 14204 Really?"
14204Returns to England?
14204Run away with her?
14204Say, Bagley,he cried,"what does this mean?
14204Say?
14204Shirley,he said,"do you remember that talk we had on the ship?
14204So I contaminate even good money?
14204So bad that I contaminate even good money?
14204So his fate is decided even before he is tried?
14204So she has refused you again, eh?
14204So soon?
14204So that is the mysterious work you spoke of-- to get those letters?
14204So you are Shirley Green, eh?
14204So you think your life is a good example to follow?
14204So you thought my daughter looked pale and that a little excursion to Buffalo would be a good thing for her? 14204 So you''re not going away now?"
14204So,he said sternly,"this is your latest act of rebellion, is it?
14204Something of the sort-- how did you guess?
14204Something to compensate?
14204Suppose the injunction is sustained?
14204Suppose,she said,"we all wanted to follow it, suppose we all wanted to be the richest, the most powerful personage in the world?"
14204Surely you can guess when I say the most powerful man in the United States? 14204 Tell me,"he repeated,"what do the papers say about the book?"
14204That is right,he replied;"but which is likely to give you greater joy-- a literary success or a happy wifehood?
14204That means that Judge Rossmore will be removed?
14204The dying father, the sorrowing mother-- and the daughter, what is she supposed to be doing?
14204The law?
14204Then why did you remain here with me when the Senator went out with Mr. Ryder, senior?
14204Those letters my father speaks of-- they would be useful, would they not?
14204To meet me and my son?
14204To- morrow?
14204Upstairs-- three rooms, eh? 14204 We are very fortunate in having such pleasant weather, do n''t you think so, Madam?
14204Well, Bagley?
14204Well, Jefferson,he said kindly,"did you have a good time abroad?"
14204Well, Sergeant, what have you got to report?
14204Well, is that all?
14204Well, sergeant,said Mr. Ryder cordially,"what have you to tell me?
14204Well, what do you say?
14204Well, what have you been doing about the book?
14204Well, what of it?
14204Well-- what then?
14204Well?
14204What about these newspaper charges? 14204 What did you say?"
14204What do I care what the world says when I''m dead?
14204What do you mean, child? 14204 What do you mean, sir?"
14204What do you mean? 14204 What do you mean?"
14204What do you mean?
14204What do you mean?
14204What do you want me to call you?
14204What have I done?
14204What have they done to you?
14204What have you got there?
14204What is socialism?
14204What is the moral of your life?
14204What letters do you refer to?
14204What objection has your son to Miss Roberts?
14204What rabble?
14204What reasons?
14204What steamers leave to- morrow for England?
14204What will it give the public that it has not got already?
14204What will you do?
14204What''s brought you from Washington at a critical time like this? 14204 What''s that about mother dancing?"
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s the matter?
14204What''s the objection to the girl?
14204What?
14204When do they attend lectures?
14204When do they read?
14204When shall we be in, captain?
14204Where are the letters?
14204Where are you going?
14204Where is his daughter?
14204Where''s father?
14204Where''s your list?
14204Where,he asked,"Madison Avenue?"
14204Who are they?
14204Who else?
14204Who the devil is this Bagley?
14204Who was here first?
14204Who''s there?
14204Who''s there?
14204Who,he added,"would have the courage to marry a girl whose father was publicly disgraced?"
14204Who?
14204Why ca n''t you govern yourself?
14204Why did you do this?
14204Why do n''t you shake hands with her?
14204Why do n''t you study women for a change?
14204Why do you ask? 14204 Why do you want to add to the girl''s misery?
14204Why not be accurate?
14204Why not call me Jefferson? 14204 Why not study theology and become a preacher?"
14204Why not? 14204 Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why should I punish myself-- why should we punish those nearest and dearest?
14204Why so sober,demanded Ryder,"you''ve gained your point, your father is to be restored to you, you''ll marry the man you love?"
14204Why, Jeff, my boy, is that you? 14204 Why, Miss Rossmore, what are you doing out driving?"
14204Why, is he wild?
14204Why, is it you, Jeff? 14204 Why?"
14204Will you trust me to go alone?
14204With my daughter?
14204Work?
14204Would you sacrifice my happiness and your own?
14204Yes, yes, Shir-- Miss Green, will you?
14204Yes,said Kate, taking a letter from her bosom,"I wanted to ask you what this means?"
14204Yet what good is your money to you?
14204You are going away?
14204You cabled for Shirley?
14204You cabled for Shirley?
14204You came to ask your father to help you?
14204You do n''t think my life would make good reading?
14204You expected to see Senator Roberts, did n''t you?
14204You going away-- where to?
14204You have work to do-- what work?
14204You may be right and yet--"Am I to help you or not?
14204You mean you think I want to listen to you?
14204You never proposed to run away with my daughter?
14204You sent for me, father?
14204You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus''?
14204You wish to see me, Madame?
14204You work, Shirley? 14204 You?
14204You?
14204You?
14204Your book--''The American Octopus,''is selling well?
14204Your enemies?
14204_ Combien?_he asked the_ cocher_.
14204_ How_ did you make it?
14204_ Wie geht es, meine damen?_Shirley turned on hearing the guttural salutation.
14204_ You?_she inquired in a tone of surprise.
14204_ You_--Miss Green?
14204A man''s life at stake?
14204After a silence he said:"Do you know you say the strangest things?"
14204Ah, why had she spared him in her book?
14204Ah, would n''t it be sublime selfishness?"
14204Am I right?"
14204And even if he did not how could she possibly find those letters with him watching her, and all in the brief time of a conventional afternoon call?
14204And what of the future?
14204And what, asks the foreigner, has the American hustler accomplished that his slower- going Continental brother has not done as well?
14204And you-- you have the brazen effrontery to ask me to plead for your father?
14204Are you afraid I shall love you?
14204Are you afraid he will love you?
14204Are you prepared to reconstruct human nature?"
14204Are you willing to sacrifice your son''s future to a mere boyish whim?"
14204Are you--?"
14204Arranging the pillow under her head, he asked:"Is that comfortable?"
14204As a gentle hint he said softly:"Did I interrupt you, Madam?"
14204As to the newspapers-- when did you ever hear of them championing a man when he''s down?"
14204Back from Europe, Jefferson?
14204Besides, was not Mr. Ryder returning home on the same ship?
14204Besides,"she added,"what right have I to object?"
14204But Ryder, Sr., continued:"Do I care?
14204But before he could open his mouth Mr. Ryder said:"Bagley, when did you see my son, Jefferson, last?"
14204But by what strange fatality, he thought to himself, had his daughter in this book of hers assailed the very man who had encompassed his own ruin?
14204But did she care for him?
14204But evidently she thought better of it, for, taking a cue from Mrs. Rossmore, she asked in the sarcastic manner of her mistress:"Four is it now, M''m?
14204But how about this?"
14204But how could he employ her?
14204But how could he tell Shirley?
14204But how could they be got at?
14204But how on earth did Judge Rossmore''s daughter come to be travelling in the company of John Burkett Ryder''s son?
14204But is the judiciary hostile?
14204But it was smart of Jefferson to have sent Ryder, Sr., the book, so she smiled graciously on his son as she asked:"How do you know he got it?
14204But she could never remain angry long, and when they said good- night she whispered demurely:"Are you cross with me, Jeff?"
14204But what was being done?
14204But where''s the daughter now?"
14204But, thought Jefferson, why should he spoil a good thing?
14204By what mysterious agency had this man penetrated his own most intimate thoughts?
14204CHAPTER IV"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
14204Can you guess what it was?"
14204Can you wait till I''m through?
14204Closing quote inserted:"How?"
14204Closing quote inserted:... What account will you be able to give?"
14204Closing quote inserted:... a hopeless love?"
14204Come, what do you say?"
14204Come, what is it?"
14204Come, will you join forces with me?"
14204Could Jefferson''s father have done them such a wrong as this?
14204Could he be dreaming?
14204Could he do so again?
14204Could he dream that the Great Northwestern Mining Company and the company to which he had entrusted his few thousands were one and the same?
14204Could it be that the proceedings in the Senate were ended and the result known?
14204Could one have fine houses to live in, or all sorts of modern conveniences to add to one''s comfort, without money?
14204Could she believe her ears?
14204Could she conceal them?
14204Could the book- lover buy books, the art- lover purchase pictures?
14204Could the human mind grasp the possibilities of such a colossal fortune?
14204Could this, she thought, explain Jefferson''s strange behaviour?
14204Determined, eh?
14204Did Judge Rossmore take a bribe from the Great Northwestern or did n''t he?
14204Did she love him?
14204Did you ever read the fable of the Lion and the Mouse?
14204Did you go down to Massapequa?"
14204Do n''t you think she has suffered enough?"
14204Do you know a little place on Long Island called Massapequa?"
14204Do you know that I practically control the Congress of the United States and that no legislative measure becomes law unless it has my approval?"
14204Do you know that a man does n''t get his horse sense till he''s forty?"
14204Do you know who the hero is?"
14204Do you know you''re the first woman I ever took into my confidence-- I mean at sight?"
14204Do you realize that my wealth is so vast that I scarcely know myself what I am worth?
14204Do you suppose for one instant that I would condescend to trouble myself with your affairs?"
14204Do you think I''m fool enough to suppose I can buy my way?
14204Does n''t that tell you what the world thinks of your methods?"
14204Does she know of this radical change in your affairs?"
14204Father is going to clear his name of this preposterous charge and we''re going to help him, are n''t we, mother?
14204Finally losing patience she asked him bluntly:"Jefferson, what''s the matter with you to- night?
14204Five millions or competition?
14204For a moment her heart stood still-- suppose the shock of this shameful accusation had killed him?
14204For what?"
14204General Dodge?
14204Going away?
14204Had Ryder any twinges of conscience?
14204Had Ryder really got some plan up his sleeve after all?
14204Had he come, after all?
14204Had he not made a cool twenty millions by the deal?
14204Had his insensate craving for gold and power led him to neglect those other things in life which contribute more truly to man''s happiness?
14204Had my son been seen there?"
14204Had the forces of right and justice prevailed, after all?
14204Has not a President of the United States declared that the State must eventually curb the great fortunes?
14204Has not the flag of socialism waved recently from the White House?
14204Have you ever stopped to think of that?"
14204He must be saved in the Senate, but how-- how?
14204He must do something to prevent it; the marriage must not take place, but what could he do?
14204He repeated:"Did n''t you hear me?
14204He restrained his impatience with difficulty as he replied:"Whose side am I on?
14204He whispered:"What were you thinking of me-- good or bad?"
14204Her face transfigured, radiant she exclaimed breathlessly:"What, Mr. Ryder, you mean that you are going to help my father?"
14204Her thoughts travelling faster than the ship, Shirley suddenly asked:"Do you really think Mr. Ryder will use his influence to help my father?"
14204His business methods I consider disgraceful-- you understand that, do n''t you, Shirley?"
14204How can my love of power do you an injustice?"
14204How can you expect to reach Ryder?
14204How could I think anything bad of you?"
14204How could he fight them back, what could he do to protect himself?
14204How could she become the daughter- in- law of the man who had ruined her own father?
14204How dare they make him out such a monster?
14204How did you come to call on father?"
14204How did you do it?
14204How did you guess?"
14204How do you do, Senator?"
14204How is Paris?"
14204How is it that our road can not reach Judge Rossmore and make him presents?"
14204How is the Rossmore case progressing?"
14204How long would the nation tolerate being thus ruthlessly trodden under the unclean heels of an insolent oligarchy?
14204How many literary reputations to- day conceal an aching heart and find it difficult to make both ends meet?
14204How many millions could one man make by honest methods?
14204How many of them would bear the searchlight of investigation?
14204How''s father?"
14204I mean the one you object to?"
14204I suppose you''ve heard about her father?"
14204I thought we had agreed not to discuss Judge Rossmore any further?"
14204I want to ask you, Miss Green, where you got the character of your central figure-- the Octopus, as you call him-- John Broderick?"
14204I--""Do you think this man deserves to be punished?"
14204If I am clever enough to accumulate millions who can stop me?"
14204If it was well paid, why should she not accept?
14204In a coaxing tone he said:"Come, where did you get those details?
14204In a voice that was unnaturally calm, he asked:"Why do n''t you produce them before the Senate?"
14204In other words, was his life a mistake?
14204Is it fair to my church, is it fair to my flock?
14204Is it not indeed fortunate that every nation finds itself superior to its neighbour?
14204Is it not so, Jefferson?"
14204Is it not true that we have been singularly free from litigation until recently, and that most of the decisions were favourable to the road?
14204Is it, therefore, not possible to take life easily and still achieve?
14204Is n''t it still more absurd that we should be helpless and dejected and unhappy because we are on Long Island instead of Madison Avenue?
14204Is n''t that better than a literary reputation?"
14204Is n''t the sting of impotent failure enough to meet without striving against a hopeless love?"
14204Is that not an achievement to relate to future generations?"
14204Is this any of your doing?"
14204It only increases my determination to see her and her--"Suddenly changing the topic he asked:"When do you leave us?"
14204It was on his mind constantly._""Who told you that?"
14204It''s a jolly well written book and raps you American millionaires jolly well-- what?"
14204Jefferson set his jaw fast and the familiar Ryder gleam came into his eyes as he responded:"Why not?
14204Judge Stott?
14204Kate would make him an excellent wife, while what do we know about the other woman?
14204May I?"
14204Must I be punished because you have failed?
14204My son wants to see me?
14204Next?"
14204Now she had them, she must not let them go again; yet how could she keep them unobserved?
14204Now what about that Rossmore girl?
14204Of course, why did he not think of it before?
14204Oh, Massapequa is a lovely spot, is n''t it?
14204Oh, father, how could you have done that?
14204Oh, why had he not kept the secretary''s letter?
14204Opening quote inserted:"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
14204Putting her broom aside and placing her arms akimbo she exclaimed in an injured tone:"And it''s a dayther you''ve got now?
14204Ryder ignored the insinuation and proceeded:"What of our boasted free institutions if a man is to be restricted in what he may and may not do?
14204Ryder took up the receiver and spoke to the butler downstairs:"Who''s that?
14204Ryder, who had seen nothing of this by- play, said with a sneer:"Surely you did n''t come here to- night to tell me this?"
14204Ryder?"
14204Ryder?"
14204See?"
14204Sergeant Ellison?
14204Shall I make your god my god?
14204She had a sacred duty to perform, it was true; but would it be less well done because she declined to stifle the natural leanings of her womanhood?
14204Shirley''s pulse throbbed faster, but she tried hard to appear unconcerned as she answered:"Oh, my book-- have you read it?"
14204Single quote moved:"You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus''?"
14204So he rushes from the cradle to the grave, and what''s the good, since he must one day die like all the rest?
14204So it''s her you want to go to, eh?
14204So, in better French than was at Jefferson''s command, she exclaimed:"Ten francs?
14204Suddenly Stott, who was perusing an evening paper, asked:"By the way, where''s your daughter?
14204Suddenly he asked her:"Have you heard from home recently?"
14204Suppose he knew her by sight and roughly accused her of obtaining access to his house under false pretences and then had her ejected by the servants?
14204Tell me, do you think he deserves such a fate?"
14204Tell me,"he added, appealing to her,"why ca n''t I rule my own household, why ca n''t I govern my own child?"
14204That Miss Rossmore was there, was she not?"
14204That''s what you want to avoid, is n''t it?"
14204The financier smiled grimly as he answered:"Your family in general-- me in particular, eh?
14204The financier swung half- round in his chair, the smile of greeting faded out of his face, and his voice was hard as he replied coldly:"Again?
14204The great financier was certainly able to do anything he chose, and had not his son Jefferson promised to win him over to their cause?
14204The man took the letters and disappeared, while Jefferson, impatient, repeated his question:"My doing?"
14204The press--"Mr. Grimsby''s red face grew more apoplectic as he blurted out:"Public opinion and the press be d----d. Who cares for public opinion?
14204The rumours were true, then?
14204Then addressing Shirley direct he said:"And you, fraulein, I hope you wo n''t be glad the voyage is over?"
14204Then he stopped as if he had changed his mind and turning towards his son he demanded:"Do you mean to say that she has done with you?"
14204Then interrupting himself he said amiably:"Wo n''t you do me the honour to meet my family?"
14204Then quickly she asked:"But what does it matter?
14204Then seriously, she added:"Jeff, why should we act like children?
14204Then she added quickly:"I wonder if your father has seen it?"
14204Then she added:"He''s the father of the girl you do n''t like, is n''t he?"
14204Then turning again to his secretary he asked:"Well, Bagley, what is it?"
14204Then turning on Mrs. Rossmore so suddenly that the poor woman nearly jumped out of her chair he asked:"Do you like strawberries?"
14204Then why raise this barrier between us?"
14204Then, abruptly, she asked:"Do your parents live in New York?"
14204Then, who could tell?
14204There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that says we ca n''t have a daughter without consulting our help, is there?"
14204There was only one way out-- would Stott go?
14204These reflections were suddenly interrupted by the voice of Mrs. Blake calling out:"Shirley, where have you been?
14204This time there''s a woman in the case-- and I need your woman''s wit--""How can I help you?"
14204Turning again to his son, he went on:"Do you see this book?
14204Turning to his sister, who was sitting in her corner like a petrified mummy, he added:"Jane, do you hear?
14204Was he himself to blame?
14204Was he not familiar with every possible phase of the game?
14204Was he willing?
14204Was he?
14204Was it possible that the dreaded Colossus had capitulated and that she had saved her father?
14204Was it possible?
14204Was it possible?
14204Was life worth living without money?
14204Was not this a prize any man might well set himself out to win?
14204Was she serious or merely jesting?
14204Was that not just what she had to offer?
14204Was this love?
14204We have deceived your father, but he will forgive that, wo n''t you?"
14204We intended to run away, did n''t we Fitz?"
14204We never knew how much till to- day, did we?
14204We shall be able to live for ourselves now, eh, father?"
14204We turn after a man in the street and ask, Who is he?
14204Well, do you know what I am going to do?"
14204Well, what are we going to do about this injunction?
14204Well, why not?
14204Were her father''s among them?
14204Were things so bad then?
14204What account will you be able to give?"
14204What are these rumours regarding Judge Rossmore?
14204What are they hiding?
14204What can I do now?
14204What could be done?
14204What could be the meaning of it?
14204What could the Colossus do now to save the situation?
14204What could the girl mean?
14204What could these preposterous and abominable charges mean?
14204What do I care for the world''s respect when my money makes the world my slave?
14204What do you say?"
14204What do you think of him as a type, how would you classify him?"
14204What had Judge Rossmore done, after all, to deserve the frightful punishment the amalgamated interests had caused him to suffer?
14204What have they done to you?"
14204What have you done?"
14204What is it to be?
14204What is it, boy?"
14204What is it?"
14204What is it?"
14204What is public opinion, anyhow?
14204What is that but socialism?"
14204What is your interest in this matter?"
14204What kind of a woman could she be, this Shirley Green, to dare cross swords with a man whose power was felt in two hemispheres?
14204What of the remedy?
14204What respect can I have for a people that cringe before money and let it rule them?
14204What right had this woman, a stranger both to Judge Rossmore and himself, to come here and catechise him?
14204What singular, mysterious power had this girl acquired over him?
14204What stages still to come, who knows?
14204What strong man had not?
14204What was the country coming to?
14204What was the sense of slaving all one''s life, piling up a mass of money one can not possibly spend, when there is only one life to live?
14204What was the world coming to when a son could talk to his father in this manner?
14204What was this lie they had invented to ruin her father?
14204What was to be done to save her father from this impeachment which she knew well would hurry him to his grave?
14204What would his daughter say-- his Shirley?
14204What would their future be, how could that proud, sensitive man her father bear this humiliation, this disgrace?
14204What''s that to do with me?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What, thought Jefferson, would be the outcome-- Socialism or Anarchy?
14204When is father going to find that fellow out?"
14204When they reached the street the senator inquired in a low tone:"Do you think they really believed Rossmore was influenced in his decision?"
14204Where had she gone, what was this mysterious work of which she had spoken?
14204Where have you children been all afternoon?"
14204Where is Jefferson?"
14204Where is he?"
14204Where is she to- day?
14204Where will you be then?"
14204Where would it end?
14204Who are they?
14204Who else should it be?"
14204Who is this unknown friend?"
14204Who was this woman who knew him so well, who could read his inmost thoughts, who never made a mistake?
14204Who were these strangers that intruded on her privacy offering a consolation she did not want?
14204Why are you ashamed to let him see it?
14204Why had he not come?
14204Why had she attacked him so bitterly?
14204Why had she not told her father at once?
14204Why not ask your father?"
14204Why not now?
14204Why not?
14204Why should Manhattan Island be a happier spot than Long Island?
14204Why should he not be able to put a stop to these preposterous proceedings?
14204Why should he?
14204Why, after all, should she not know happiness like other women?
14204Why?
14204Will you please have a cab here in half an hour?"
14204Will you take it?"
14204Will you?"
14204With a slight tinge of sarcasm he asked:"Is there any man in our public life who is unapproachable from some direction or other?"
14204Would he come to Massapequa?
14204Would he go?
14204Would he miss them?
14204Would he take her?
14204Would his own father?
14204Would it be womanly or honourable on my part to encourage you, unless I felt I reciprocated your feelings?
14204Would n''t he do that much to help a friend?"
14204Would n''t you help him then?"
14204Would she undertake it?
14204Would you?"
14204Yes or No?"
14204Yet what could he do?
14204Yet why not?
14204Yet, she reflected quickly, how could she prevent it?
14204You are going to jilt the girl?"
14204You are going to welsh on your word?
14204You do n''t expect a man to cut loose his own kite, do you?"
14204You know what''s going to happen to him, do n''t you?"
14204You must n''t mind what Mr. Ryder says?
14204You see yourself how impossible a marriage with Miss Rossmore would be, do n''t you?"
14204You understand?"
14204You?"
14204[ Photo, from the play, of Shirley discussing her book with Mr. Ryder]"How do you classify him?"
14204_ Pourquoi dix francs?_ I took your cab by the hour.
14204and above that three more--""No,"smiled the judge,"then comes the roof?"
14204burst in Jefferson,"why should she?
14204exclaimed Ryder, Sr."Marriage with someone else?"
14204exclaimed Ryder,"acknowledge to my son that I was in the wrong, that I''ve seen the error of my ways and wish to repent?
14204exclaimed Shirley, changing colour,"you believe that John Burkett Ryder is at the bottom of this infamous accusation against father?"
14204exclaimed her husband,"you have consulted Miss Green on the subject?"
14204he said,"you deliberately sacrificed my interests to save this woman''s father-- you hear him, Miss Green?
14204how are you?"
14204she said, appealing to Ryder,"and you will go to Washington, you will save my father''s honour, his life, you will--?"
28862A young lady who is waiting for it at the station?
28862Adopt a boy? 28862 After all, Florence, are you not in some ways too good for my brother?"
28862After all,she said to herself,"why should I work through the channel of that little imp, Florence Aylmer?
28862Ah, and where was your school?
28862Am I to expect it?
28862And are you going to send me out into the cold? 28862 And do you know her son, that most charming fellow, Maurice Trevor?"
28862And is it a secret that Tom knows nothing about?
28862And pray may I not leave my money to whom I please?
28862And suppose I refuse?
28862And that you do n''t like, my dear?
28862And what do you want me to do regarding her, Kitty?
28862And what is that?
28862And what news is there from Miss Florence, please, ma''am?
28862And what will you do, Flo?
28862And yet she knows you?
28862And you are studying? 28862 And you are very glad, are you not?"
28862And you really mean to be a doctor-- a doctor?
28862Another?
28862Are n''t you? 28862 Are you Mrs. Aylmer-- Florence''s mother?"
28862Are you disengaged?
28862Are you in love with this girl?
28862Are you not Mrs. Aylmer''s niece?
28862Are you quite sure? 28862 Are you very tired?"
28862Are you well?
28862Aylmer?
28862Bertha Keys,replied Mrs. Aylmer;"Bertha Keys?"
28862Borrow money from you? 28862 But I have made it: what do you mean?"
28862But can you, do they allow you to study in the men''s schools?
28862But do you love me? 28862 But do you love me?"
28862But does not this make you happy? 28862 But how did she get the post?
28862But if I think differently?
28862But what are those things on that table?
28862But what are you going to do, Flo?
28862But what do you mean? 28862 But what do you want Mrs. Aylmer to do?"
28862But what is it, my dear? 28862 But what is the name of the young lady, miss?"
28862But what subject do you want me to write upon?
28862But where has she come from?
28862But who is she, dear? 28862 But why not?
28862But why should we worry about a trousseau?
28862But why so?
28862But why were you obliged?
28862But why?
28862But you do n''t mind, do you, mother?
28862But you were not engaged last night?
28862By the way,said Trevor, after a pause,"is this girl Mrs. Aylmer''s niece?"
28862Can I see Miss Keys?
28862Can I see you before I go to my work?
28862Can not? 28862 Can you assuredly tell me that you are only marrying me just because you think that you and I together can be famous?"
28862Can you give me a little time, or are you too busy?
28862Can you not guess? 28862 Come to my room, wo n''t you, to- night?
28862Did she?
28862Did you ever do anything to offend her?
28862Did you ever love anybody else better than you love me?
28862Did you give him my invitation?
28862Did you know that your friend Miss Sharston was on a visit there?
28862Did you really? 28862 Do I think so?
28862Do I wish what known?
28862Do n''t you know? 28862 Do n''t you like him extremely?"
28862Do they?
28862Do well to encourage it?
28862Do you feel inclined to do some more essays for our paper?
28862Do you know this place well?
28862Do you know what she wants me to do?
28862Do you know who is rowing on the lake?
28862Do you know, I have only read one of your stories, the first which appeared in the_ Argonaut_? 28862 Do you mean it?"
28862Do you mind my asking you a very blunt question?
28862Do you mind saying it again?
28862Do you think she will take you, a penniless man? 28862 Do you think so?"
28862Do you think, if you refuse all this wealth, that she will inherit it?
28862Do you want to know what I am doing now: how I am managing to live?
28862Do you wish it known?
28862Do you-- do you know any publishers personally?
28862Do you-- do you mean to marry him?
28862Does mother know that Mrs. Aylmer-- that Aunt Susan is staying at Dawlish?
28862Does she write often to you? 28862 Does this mean that you write?"
28862Done?
28862Ever remarkable for the excellence of her essays or themes?
28862Flo, Flo, child, where is he? 28862 Hallo,"he said,"what are you doing here, Thomas?"
28862Hallo,he said,"who would have thought to see you here?
28862Has Miss Aylmer''s manuscript come, sir?
28862Has Tom proposed to you?
28862Has she corrected it? 28862 Have a potato, wo n''t you?"
28862Have you a bit of a headache, my dear?
28862Have you anything special to say?
28862Have you done the article?
28862Have you ever got into any scrape of any sort, been a naughty girl, or anything of that kind? 28862 Have you ever published anything before?"
28862Have you forced your way into my room about that?
28862Have you never thought of it? 28862 Have you no other relations to whom you ought to leave some of your wealth?"
28862Have you not made your will? 28862 He has quite taken to Florence; do n''t you see for yourself?"
28862Here is a tea- shop,he said;"will you come in and have tea with me?"
28862How are they all at Aylmer''s Court?
28862How are you? 28862 How can I avoid it?
28862How can I tell? 28862 How can I tell?
28862How can I tell?
28862How can I, who love you with all my heart and soul and strength, who would give my life for you, how can I think of anyone else? 28862 How can you tell?
28862How can you think of such a thing for a single moment?
28862How dare you give yourself and your sisters away? 28862 How do I know?"
28862How do you do, Miss Aylmer?
28862How do you do, Sukey?
28862How do you do?
28862How do you do?
28862How do you do?
28862How do you do?
28862How do you know anything troubles me?
28862How do you know?
28862How have you managed to make all these roses bloom at once?
28862How is it that we have accepted this invitation?
28862How much, Florry, are you going to pay me per week?
28862I am given to understand that Mr. Trevor has offended you,he said;"is that so?"
28862I am giving my money back to-- but what does this mean?
28862I am in your way, am I not?
28862I am not repugnant to you, am I?
28862I can not take her place,he said;"you would not if you were placed in the same position?"
28862I do n''t understand,she said;"in what way have you made up your mind?"
28862I do,said Kitty;"how dare you speak of it?"
28862I go to London to- morrow?
28862I have managed to rise above that level now, and am I going to sink again?
28862I may speak of it, I suppose, to Miss Keys?
28862I understand; but how is it she never asks you to Aylmer''s Court nor takes any notice of you?
28862I will do the commission; what is it?
28862I will tell her that I wish for a change: that is true enough,he answered;"but how will that help me?
28862I wonder what he is saying to her?
28862I wonder, Kitty Sharston,she said,"if you can keep a secret?"
28862If I will be your wife?
28862If you can not get me anything to do as a teacher, is there nothing else you can think of to suit me? 28862 In a bad humour, are you?"
28862In some ways too good for him?
28862In that case, Miss Aylmer, I shall be driven to conclude that your talent was but fictitious, and that--"That I am a humbug?
28862Indeed, and why? 28862 Is Mrs. Trevor in?"
28862Is anything the matter? 28862 Is it or is it not Florence Aylmer?"
28862Is it possible he has proposed for her, and she will not accept him?
28862Is it possible that you have come?
28862Is it true that I am not going to get better?
28862Is it true? 28862 Is it your sister- in- law, ma''am,"she said,"that is changing her mind?"
28862Is my boy really falling in love with that nice, interesting, but unhappy girl? 28862 Is n''t it a perfectly splendid dress, Sukey?
28862Is she in?
28862Is that kind to your mother? 28862 Is that you, Florence?
28862Is that you, Franks?
28862Is that your daughter?
28862It can not be printed,said Franks;"what is to be done?"
28862It is very clever; and what does the tone matter?
28862It is?
28862It would be extremely successful if you would do a paper in a_ totally_ different tone,he said;"could you not try?"
28862Like it? 28862 Like who?"
28862May I ask you a very plain question?
28862May I come and see you to- morrow?
28862May I come and see you?
28862May I explain?
28862May I see it?
28862May I sit down?
28862May I speak to you for a moment?
28862May I walk part of the way home with you? 28862 May you?
28862Miss Keys; why, that was the girl who behaved so badly at the time when I offered my scholarship, was it not?
28862Miss Sharston? 28862 My dear Bertha,"she said,"where are you going?"
28862My dear,she said,"may I sit down?
28862My dearest Flo, why?
28862My mother has told you what we both wish?
28862No,he replied;"is it there?"
28862No; how can I use it? 28862 Not surely to Mrs. Trevor, of Rose View?"
28862Now that we have washed up and put everything into apple- pie order, what about that manuscript?
28862Now, mother, what does this mean?
28862Now, mother, why do you talk rubbish?
28862Now, mother,said Florence, just looking round her,"what have you come about?"
28862Of course I shall,replied Florence;"why should I not?
28862Of course you can, my dear, if Maurice feels that he really must go.--When can you be back again?
28862Of course; but how?
28862Oh, Mrs. Trevor, have I told you everything?
28862Oh, but this is quite dreadful: ought we to stay on here, Florry, or, at least, ought I to stay on?
28862Oh, do satisfy my curiosity, Mrs. Aylmer,exclaimed Kitty;"where did you sleep last night?
28862Oh, may I go with you?
28862Oh, mother, how can you talk such nonsense?
28862Oh, mother,said Florence, looking by no means elated at this unexpected appearance of the little Mummy on the scene,"what has brought you to town?"
28862Oh, what am I to say? 28862 Oh, what shall I do?
28862Oh, why can not I break off my engagement with Tom Franks? 28862 Oh, why do you say that?
28862Oh, yes, I could write about the silly creatures if I had time; but how can I find time to- day? 28862 Pardon me,"said Mrs. Aylmer the less, for of course it was she,"but can you tell me if my daughter Florence is likely to be in soon?"
28862Perhaps you are sorry for some of the things you said this morning?
28862Publish it? 28862 Remember, if I come, I shall expect you to tell me everything?"
28862Ring for my maid, will you, Bertha? 28862 Shall I copy the story for you?"
28862Shall I ever keep straight? 28862 Shall we go on with this, or shall we have a game of two- handed patience?"
28862Shall we go out on the sands?
28862Shall we meet, say, in twenty minutes,she said,"just by the pier?
28862Shall we or shall we not ask him to supper?
28862Shall you be at home?
28862She is your aunt?
28862She recognised me too, did she not?
28862So soon, after arranging to spend the holidays with me?
28862Some of your literary work?
28862Sorry? 28862 Speak the truth,"said Miss Keys;"were you not coming on purpose to see me?"
28862Staring at me?
28862Suppose that is impossible?
28862Surely you will wait until people call on Florence?
28862Thank you,said Florence;"at what hour?"
28862That means you do not wish it to be known that you are here?
28862The church bells are beginning to ring,he said suddenly;"would you like to go to church or would you rather just wander about the heath?"
28862Then in the name of all that is just,cried Trevor impetuously,"why should I have the fortune which is really meant for Florence Aylmer?
28862Then will you two gentlemen come into the house?
28862Then you refuse to do what I ask?
28862Then, in the name of Heaven, what are we to do for the next number?
28862There is that charming and excellent girl; but dare I suggest it?
28862There is to be a bit of a crush,he said, looking at Florence;"and, by the way, did I tell you who was to be present?
28862To London?
28862To part with me?
28862To whom?
28862Too proud, eh?
28862Was it the first or the second?
28862We know that, Mummy,replied her daughter, with a twinkle in her bright dark eyes;"what is up now?"
28862We?
28862Well, Mummy, and what was that thought you said you had in the back of your head?
28862Well, and how was the dear Florence? 28862 Well, but ca n''t you open it and tell me about it?
28862Well, do you love me?
28862Well, ma''am,said Sukey, in a cross voice,"have you washed up the tea- things yet?
28862Well, mother, does it matter?
28862Well, really,she thought,"why should I put myself out about an ungrateful girl of that sort?
28862Well, well, girls,she said:"well, well, where do you think I have been?"
28862Well,said Trevor,"have I come too early?"
28862What about it? 28862 What are those?"
28862What are you doing here?
28862What are you talking about?
28862What are you thinking about?
28862What are you thinking of, Flo?
28862What are you thinking of?
28862What can I do for you?
28862What can she want with Miss Keys? 28862 What do you mean by that?
28862What do you mean by that?
28862What do you mean by that?
28862What do you mean by that?
28862What do you mean by two days?
28862What do you mean by''hush?''
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you mean?
28862What do you think of it?
28862What do you think?
28862What do you want to know?
28862What does the girl mean?
28862What does this mean? 28862 What does this mean?"
28862What does this mean?
28862What folly are you up to now, ma''am?
28862What for?
28862What has Miss Aylmer done? 28862 What have I done?"
28862What have you been doing here all day?
28862What is it, Tom? 28862 What is it, dear?
28862What is it? 28862 What is it?
28862What is it?
28862What is it?
28862What is it?
28862What is it?
28862What is that, Franks?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is that?
28862What is the good of quarrelling?
28862What is the matter with my dress?
28862What is the matter with you, Florry? 28862 What is the matter, Flo?"
28862What is the matter?
28862What is the subject?
28862What is to be done? 28862 What is to be done?"
28862What is to be done?
28862What is worrying you?
28862What mad craze is this?
28862What makes you so late?
28862What manuscript?
28862What name shall I say?
28862What news?
28862What possessed mother to lose that money? 28862 What shall I do in the meantime?"
28862What sort of a question? 28862 What sort of employment?
28862What was there to say?
28862What will your duty be?
28862What, Aunt Susan?
28862What? 28862 What?"
28862What?
28862What?
28862What?
28862What?
28862When I am excited-- I to whom it means practically nothing, why should not you be? 28862 When did this take place?"
28862When you heard she was ill, mother?
28862Where do you live?
28862Where do you think she is staying? 28862 Where is the use of being proud?
28862Where-- where did you get that?
28862Which charming and excellent girl?
28862Which girl do you mean?
28862Whither away?
28862Who called to see you? 28862 Who is Tom?"
28862Who told you?
28862Who would have believed it?
28862Who, my dear? 28862 Why are you back so early?"
28862Why are you looking at me like that, Flo?
28862Why did you accept them in the beginning?
28862Why did you say that?
28862Why do n''t you answer?
28862Why do n''t you read?
28862Why do n''t you tell me everything, Florence?
28862Why do you ask? 28862 Why do you ask?"
28862Why do you go? 28862 Why do you look at me like that?
28862Why do you say copying?
28862Why do you say that? 28862 Why do you speak in that tone?"
28862Why do you wish it?
28862Why do you write what you do n''t like?
28862Why does she dislike Miss Florence Aylmer?
28862Why not adopt a boy?
28862Why not? 28862 Why not?
28862Why not?
28862Why should I tell you what I am doing?
28862Why so? 28862 Why so?"
28862Why so?
28862Why wo n''t you tell me what is troubling you?
28862Will she be there, or will she not?
28862Will you come in, Franks?
28862Will you come in, Miss?
28862Will you come into my room and wait for her?
28862Will you do it or will you not?
28862Will you give me two or three moments of your valuable time?
28862Will you seat yourself, Miss Aylmer?
28862Will you tell me now what you thought of it?
28862Will you think over it, my dear,said Mrs. Trevor,"and let me know?"
28862Wish what known? 28862 With Bertha?"
28862Wo n''t you wait until I make up your tonic?
28862Would it be possible to-- to publish it?
28862Would you greatly mind reading it aloud?
28862Would you like me to go on reading?
28862Would you like to come upstairs now, Kitty?
28862Would you like to go for a walk before dinner?
28862Would you?
28862Yes, Florence,he said,"what is it?
28862Yes, miss,he said;"the mare is a bit fresh; what is it?"
28862Yes, miss; what name shall I say?
28862Yes, my dear, yes?
28862Yes,said Bertha, pausing and laying her hand lightly on a little table near;"do you want me to do anything?"
28862Yes: did you not hear? 28862 Yes; but is your will fair?"
28862Yes; why not? 28862 Yes?"
28862Yes?
28862You admit that there is a mystery?
28862You are better, are you not?
28862You are expecting Florence Aylmer''s manuscript, are you not?
28862You are very chivalrous,she said slowly;"but what can you do?"
28862You are very kind, and I do n''t know how to thank you,said Florence;"but how can you possibly tell that I have ruffled feelings?"
28862You are well got up,she said;"but what of that?
28862You are_ sorry_?
28862You can cut the new story a bit can not you, Franks?
28862You do n''t mean it?
28862You have come to ask me a question, have you not?
28862You have had a fairly good education and you want to earn your own living?
28862You have not anything to do yet, have you?
28862You have written it, I presume?
28862You know everything?
28862You must have it to- night?
28862You refuse to do what I wish?
28862You remember our last conversation in this room?
28862You tempt me mightily,she said;"why do you tempt me?"
28862You will come into my room and have cocoa, will you not?
28862You will publish it, then?
28862You will tell it to me, wo n''t you?
28862You will, of course, accept Mr. Anderson''s offer?
28862You will?
28862You will?
28862You would not like me to say that sort of thing, would you?
28862You-- of course you wo n''t use it?
28862Your Mrs. Aylmer''s niece?
28862Your age?
28862Your daughter Florence?
28862After a moment''s pause, she uttered one word softly and half below her breath, and that word was simply:"Yes?"
28862After all, was he to bring up this girl''s past to her?
28862All during the long day which had followed she had kept saying to herself:"Shall I or shall I not?
28862And is_ this_ what indicates the extreme poverty of those lady girls who toil?"
28862And pray who is your brother?"
28862And so, my good friend"--she laid her white hand for an instant on Sir John''s arm--"you are going to leave your property to your favourite Kitty?"
28862And you are going to marry him holding that secret?"
28862Anderson?"
28862Are there any packages for Mrs. Aylmer of Aylmer''s Court?"
28862Are you going to forsake me?"
28862Are you going to live altogether in London?"
28862Are you in earnest when you admit that it would be an admirable arrangement?"
28862Are you never going to speak to me again?
28862Are you quite sure?"
28862Are you staying with her?"
28862Are you worried about anything?"
28862As they walked quickly back now, they were overtaken by a man who said to Florence:"I beg your pardon, but may I offer you this umbrella?"
28862Aylmer?"
28862Aylmer?"
28862Be satisfied that Florence only did what perhaps another girl equally tempted would have done, but it was----""It was what?
28862But come: what roses shall I pick for you?"
28862But now, may I ask you some questions?
28862But what is your intention in the future?"
28862But what right had she to be glad?
28862But why are you here?"
28862But why did not he tell me so before-- before I fell a second time?
28862But why not?
28862But why should I think so much about her as I do?
28862But why, my dear love, do n''t you send copies of that wonderful magazine, and that extraordinary review, to your loving mother?
28862By the way, Edith, have you read it?"
28862By the way, how is the story getting on?"
28862By the way, you are engaged to marry Florence Aylmer?"
28862Can you and will you do it?
28862Can you deny that you are down and I am up?"
28862Can you not stop talking for a little?
28862Can you put up with it, Kitty?"
28862Can you send it now by messenger, or shall he call again for it within a couple of hours?
28862Can you tell me how she is?"
28862Come and have a cup of cocoa with me, will you not?"
28862Come, have we not offered you enough?
28862Dare she do it?
28862Did Miss Keys really give you the parcel to bring to me?"
28862Did you happen to see them, Mr. Trevor, as you were walking?"
28862Division of labour lightens toil, does it not?
28862Do I envy the poor child her post?
28862Do n''t you like London in August?"
28862Do n''t you remember our wonderful essay?"
28862Do n''t you think that I am paying you well, now, to keep silence?
28862Do you hear me, Florence; do you hear me?
28862Do you hear me, Florence?"
28862Do you know that you were very cruel when you wrote that extremely clever paper in the_ General Review_?"
28862Do you know where she is staying?"
28862Do you know who the worthless girl was for whom he gave up great wealth and a high position?"
28862Do you know, I like him very much?"
28862Do you like living alone in London?"
28862Do you live in this house?"
28862Do you love me?"
28862Do you mind if I go on reading until dinner arrives?"
28862Do you remember Dawlish?"
28862Do you remember that day when I saw you and gave you a packet at Hamslade Station?"
28862Do you suppose that, just because you are clever, you would have reached the position you have done if it had not been for my brother?
28862Do you think her eyes were set quite straight in her head, Florence?"
28862Do you think it could be managed?"
28862Do you think you are a good match for her or for any girl?"
28862Do you think you could rise to the sum of fifteen shillings a week if I give you meat every day?"
28862Do you understand?"
28862Do you want to insult me?"
28862Do you work too hard at night?"
28862Does that mean that you will not?"
28862Florence said to herself:"Shall I read the manuscript or shall I not?
28862Florence, is it true that you have a secret in your life?"
28862Had she done it to trick him?
28862Had she got a berth of any sort?
28862Has she come by appointment?"
28862Has she not broken off her engagement with you?"
28862Has she sent you any money now?"
28862Have I the evidence of my own senses?"
28862Have you any explanation to offer?"
28862Have you been here long?"
28862Have you corrected it?
28862Have you ever published anything?"
28862Have you had any domestic calamity since I saw you last?"
28862Have you had experience in controlling the follies of youth?"
28862Have you heard any specially good news?"
28862Have you not heard our news?"
28862Have you not yet discovered that being extra good does not pay?"
28862Have you read her story-- the first story she has ever published?"
28862Have you the least idea what her income is, or what wealth I am in the future likely to possess?"
28862Have you written much?
28862He nodded, but his manner was as much as to say:"What business is it of yours?"
28862How am I to do it, and in twenty- four hours?
28862How am I to eke out the money till I get a post as teacher?"
28862How are you getting on?
28862How are you?"
28862How can I love anybody?
28862How can I possibly injure you?"
28862How can he possibly forget?"
28862How can she understand?"
28862How can you tell anything about my prospects?
28862How could she, Bertha, stop the headstrong girl?
28862How could you bear it?
28862How could you?"
28862How dare you?"
28862How did you become acquainted with him?"
28862How do you do?
28862How do you know?"
28862How is she getting on?"
28862How is she?"
28862How old are you, Miss Keys?"
28862How old are you?"
28862How was she to do that which she said she would do?
28862How will you crowd in all the visitors?"
28862I am extremely busy: if she has chosen you as her messenger to bring the manuscript, will you kindly give it to me and go?"
28862I am taking a stroll; it is very pleasant here in the evenings, is it not?"
28862I am told she has made the young man the heir of all she possesses, and-- but what is the matter, my dear?"
28862I can train you: will you submit to my training?"
28862I daresay he never will pay you that kind of attention, and probably it is all right; but a word to the wise is enough, eh?"
28862I did n''t know you had any friends in the town, Bertha?"
28862I did not, of course, understand what your occupation in London was likely to be; but if you are to be a writer, why not come and live with me here?
28862I do not feel that I am doing wrong in giving myself to him; but, wrong or right, the thing is arranged: why worry about it now?"
28862I have plenty of room for you; will you come with me?"
28862I mean, do you-- do you-- like it?"
28862I suppose it would not do if I posted it?"
28862I suppose you would like me to live with you at Aylmer''s Court, would you not?"
28862I want to follow in the steps of Mrs. Garrett Anderson; is she not noble?
28862I wonder what it can be?"
28862I wonder where she is staying?"
28862I wonder, sir, if you would either hold the mare for a minute or do a commission for Miss Keys?"
28862IS IT"YES"OR"NO"?
28862If I dictate a fresh will to you, and I put my proper signature, and two nurses sign it, will it be legal?"
28862If I offered she would refuse; it is not to be thought of; besides--""Why do you stop?
28862If there is a flaw in the governess, there will also be a flaw in the pupils-- understand, eh?"
28862Iron is supposed to promote appetite, is it not?"
28862Is It"Yes"or"No"?
28862Is anything the matter?"
28862Is it to be''yes''or''no?''"
28862Is she very busy?
28862Is that it?
28862Is there any sort of trap for our luggage, or can the porter take it and shall we walk to the cottage?"
28862Is your next story ready?"
28862It is all hopeless now, of course; and yet is it hopeless?
28862It is not more than four thousand words in length, and it is, I think, exciting; and will you put your name to it and publish it as your own?
28862It is quite contrary to my wishes that you should have anything to do with her: you understand?"
28862It might ruin her, father, if it were known; you would not ruin her, would you?"
28862Kitty, what is the matter?"
28862May I come and see you to- morrow?"
28862May I come in?"
28862May I go, father?"
28862May I look through it?"
28862May I not like Mr. Trevor, and be a sort of sister to him?"
28862May I speak to you just because I am a very lonely girl and you are a woman?"
28862My dear girl, what does this mean?
28862My prospects are first- rate, yours----""What do you mean?
28862Now what is the matter, Bertha?"
28862Now, may I wish you good- morning?"
28862Now, what do you say?
28862Now, what is it you want with me?"
28862Of course, you will lead the life of a writer, and nothing else?"
28862Presently she gave a well- assumed start; said:"Hullo, Flo, is that you?"
28862Secretaries are sometimes employed, are they not?"
28862Shall I fail or shall I succeed?"
28862Shall we become husband and wife?
28862Shall we go together, and after lunch have a walk on the heath?"
28862Shall we work in harness?
28862She simply said:"Will you tell your mistress that I am here?"
28862So he has been?"
28862Suddenly he bent forward and whispered to her:"What about my article?"
28862Suppose that is the way out of the difficulty?"
28862Suppose, suppose I write stories still, and send them to you, and you publish them as your own-- how would that do?
28862The packet I gave you was from Miss Keys, was it not?"
28862The story at least will reach me in good time?"
28862Then, touching her companion on the arm, she said:"I am tired; will you take me back to the hotel?"
28862There are so few girls at present in the house, and those who are there ought to make friends, ought they not?
28862There, take that tea- towel; it is a beauty, is it not?
28862This is her story: have you read it?"
28862This is to be a crush and--""How will you pay for it, ma''am?"
28862This seems to be quite a new turn to our friendship, does it not?"
28862Trevor was on the point of asking"What?"
28862Trevor was silent for a moment, then he said slowly:"This mystery of the past, am I never to know about it?"
28862Trevor?"
28862Trevor?"
28862Trevor?"
28862Trevor?"
28862Was Miss Aylmer ever remarkable for the excellence of her essays and themes?"
28862We are grown- up girls ready to take our place in the world, and to give you a right good time, Mummy; is n''t that so, Kitty?"
28862We are to have that article, then, in two days?"
28862We had a good deal in common, had we not?
28862What Miss Aylmer?"
28862What am I to do?
28862What are you doing here?"
28862What are you doing?"
28862What can be the secret between them?"
28862What can be wrong?"
28862What can she be doing here?"
28862What can you expect, madam?"
28862What can you teach?"
28862What could any young girl do to have such a punishment meted out to her?
28862What could she do?
28862What did she do?"
28862What do you mean?"
28862What do you say to these?"
28862What do you say?"
28862What do you think he has come about?
28862What do you think of my diggings-- nice, eh?"
28862What do you think your manuscript worth?"
28862What do you want Florence to do?"
28862What do you want to do?"
28862What does it matter to me?
28862What does it matter what the Dawlish people say?
28862What does this fresh combination mean?
28862What does this mean?"
28862What does this mean?"
28862What is it, my dear?
28862What is the matter?
28862What is the matter?"
28862What is the time?
28862What is to be done?"
28862What is to be done?"
28862What is your number?"
28862What mystery is there between you and Miss Keys?"
28862What part are you going to?"
28862What post do you think she has secured?"
28862What shall I do, Miss Keys?"
28862What shall I do?
28862What sort of girl did you say she was?"
28862What sort of secretary?"
28862What sort of woman is she?"
28862What was the matter with you?"
28862What was to be done?
28862What will Mr. Franks say?
28862What would you advise?"
28862What''s in the letter, Flo?
28862What''s the good of promising what you have n''t got?"
28862What''s the matter?"
28862When can we find room for this first story of Miss Aylmer''s, Franks?"
28862Where are you?"
28862Where is the money?"
28862Where was that terse and vigorous style?
28862Where was the pure Saxon which had delighted his scholarly mind in the stories which she had written?
28862Where were those epigrammatic utterances?
28862Where would you be but for him-- but for me?
28862Who am I that I should turn away from you?"
28862Who is she?
28862Who is that man she is with?"
28862Who would suppose that we were close to December?"
28862Whom has he given his heart to?
28862Why are we not to mention to Mrs. Aylmer that you already knew her, Kitty?"
28862Why are you not with Mrs. Aylmer and Bertha Keys?"
28862Why can not I tell Maurice Trevor the truth?"
28862Why did you come here?"
28862Why did you come to meet me just now?"
28862Why did you send it to me?
28862Why do I hate that story, clever as it is?
28862Why do I not tell Bertha that I do not fear her?
28862Why do you publish it?"
28862Why do you trouble me?
28862Why do you write such things, Florence?"
28862Why had Bertha sent her a parcel?
28862Why had she been so startled when Trevor''s name was mentioned?
28862Why had she spent the day there?
28862Why have you done this?"
28862Why should I not do it?"
28862Why should I put myself in her power?"
28862Why should I usurp your place-- in fact, be your supplanter?"
28862Why should Miss Keys have everything and my poor girl be left out in the cold?"
28862Why should poor Florence be suspected of having written badly when she was young?
28862Why should she be so struggling, and why should I, who am no relative of yours, inherit all this wealth?
28862Why should she have the fame and glory, and I stay here as a poor companion?
28862Why should you not do it?"
28862Why should you not?
28862Why should you stop your studies on my account?"
28862Why?"
28862Will you accept it?"
28862Will you be there then?"
28862Will you borrow a little money from me?"
28862Will you do it?
28862Will you go on reading?
28862Will you lend me five pounds, darling, and send it at once?
28862Will you put it into an envelope, and I will post it?"
28862Will you say''yes''?"
28862Will you spend Sunday with us?"
28862Will you take one with you and try to sell it as your own?
28862Will you wait for me and let me try to make a home for you, and when I have done that, will you come to me?
28862Will you, dear Flo, read the tale which I enclose, and if you think it any good at all take it to a publisher and see if he will use it?
28862With Florence, with their two forces combined, might they not rise to any position?
28862Wo n''t you come and see her some day?
28862Wo n''t you come in?"
28862Wo n''t you come too?"
28862Wo n''t you even tell me?"
28862Would it be possible to make an arrangement for us to receive all your contributions, say, for twelve months?"
28862Would it please you?"
28862You are surely not jealous of my affection for dear Maurice?"
28862You do n''t suppose I did n''t see?
28862You have brought--""What?"
28862You have made up your mind, of course, Florence, that you will not speak to Mrs. Aylmer of what you know about me?"
28862You look quite ill.""Do n''t you remember Bertha Keys?"
28862You promised that the tea- things should be your care, ma''am; and are they washed up?
28862You quite understand?
28862You remember them, do n''t you?"
28862You think that manuscript has been written by Florence Aylmer?"
28862You will agree to do what I wish, will you not, Florence?"
28862You will call at our office to- morrow, Miss Aylmer?"
28862You will naturally say:''How will you do this, and face the shame of your actions in the past?''
28862You will soon receive proofs, Miss Aylmer; and can you let me have another small story of about the same length in a month from now?
28862You will spend the night, of course?"
28862You, of course, know nothing of that accomplishment?"
28862a boy?"
28862a rendezvous so early?"
28862cried Mrs. Trevor:"the girl who has been companion to Mrs. Aylmer: whom my son has so often mentioned?"
28862he asked;"now, in this broiling weather?"
28862he said,"and that you have had an article accepted?"
28862is he coming?"
28862said Bertha;"what does this mean?
28862said Franks, as he entered the room;"why do you bring those horrors home, Edith?"
28862said the young man;"are you called Florence Aylmer?"
28862she said then slowly,"I who have done all for you?"
28862that enthusiastic, silly girl who actually wants to be a doctor?"
28862what do you mean by that?
28862whose step is that on the stairs?
28862you surely do not allude to Miss Aylmer?"
39145''Mum''? 39145 ''She?''
39145A dance? 39145 Aber warum?"
39145Am I late, Wilson?
39145Am I not to be forgiven? 39145 Amore di terra lontana, Per voi tutto il core mi duol,"and who at last, coming to her, had died at her feet?
39145And do you know that I love you very much?
39145And have you no thoughts, no ideas that urge for expression?
39145And how? 39145 And if I cage the birdlings....""What birdlings?"
39145And if I refuse to kiss her, will that not be a sword struck into her heart?
39145And if a sword is in Edith''s heart, there will be a sword in grandmother''s heart, too?
39145And she would only eat the food I cooked?... 39145 And that I made get well again?"
39145And what does this mean? 39145 And what else?"
39145And what else?
39145And what is it you read in this foot?
39145And will you put pictures in it?
39145And with whom?
39145And you are sure you wo n''t mind if I pinch you? 39145 And you know about the birthday wishes?"
39145And you?
39145And your name, mademoiselle?
39145And... she did nothing else but write poems? 39145 Are you from_ il bel paese ove il sì suona_?"
39145Are you going to the dance to- night?
39145Are you happy, Liebstes?
39145Are you happy, mother dear?
39145Are you not ashamed?
39145Are you not tiring of me, Nino? 39145 Are you ready?"
39145Are you sure that she is not seventeen?
39145Are you sure? 39145 Are you sure?"
39145Are you sure?
39145Are you tired?
39145At this time--he looked at his watch--"about eleven o''clock?"
39145At what age did she begin?
39145At what hotel are you staying, mademoiselle?
39145But not the real ones?
39145But perhaps,continued his hostess,"you do n''t like tea?
39145But what else can I do?
39145But what is the good of being the rage if one has nothing to live on? 39145 But where is the baby''s mother?"
39145But why did she say an old toad did the music?
39145But why do you like them?
39145Can I come to you when I am thus bound-- bound hands and feet by Law and Church? 39145 Can you be ready on Thursday?"
39145Can you remember Annie, or Mary?
39145Combien à l''en plein?
39145Could it not be music?
39145Did I play well, Liebstes?
39145Did he see you?
39145Did those people you met at Mrs. Van Osten''s ask where we lived?
39145Did you like my concert, mother dear? 39145 Did you meet my husband?"
39145Did you see her?
39145Did you speak?
39145Do I look as if I could sing?
39145Do I?
39145Do n''t you?
39145Do you hear the canter and gallop and thump? 39145 Do you know German?
39145Do you love me very much?
39145Do you mean never?
39145Do you not understand that he must not find us like this?
39145Do you remember England?
39145Do you remember him?
39145Do you remember me?
39145Do you remember when Anne- Marie had the measles?
39145Do you sing?
39145Do you think I ought to tell him about my having saved him?
39145Do you think they are tourists?
39145Do you think,she said,"you could catch my balloon before you go?"
39145Do you want to go into the gaming- rooms?
39145Do you want to go on living in America?
39145Do you want to leave her here?
39145Do you want to take her with you?
39145Do you?
39145Does her father beat her?
39145Edith dear, wo n''t you come, too?
39145Eh?
39145Et après?
39145Et quoi encore?
39145Et vous, mon Prince Charmant? 39145 For England?
39145For always?
39145Forty per cent of the_ gross_ receipts?
39145Fried?
39145From whom?
39145Gone?
39145Has he gone?
39145Has the baby''s mother come too?
39145Have they come?
39145Have they?
39145Have you done nothing at all since I saw you?
39145Have you given them to the office?
39145Have you just come up?
39145Have you no idea where I can find him?
39145Have you no money?
39145Have you noticed,she said,"that nobody coughs?"
39145Have you seen Nancy?
39145Have you seen her bracelets?
39145Have you seen them, grandpapa?
39145He saw you? 39145 Honest engine?"
39145How can one thank him? 39145 How can you write books if you do not know what is life?"
39145How could I ever think him beautiful?
39145How could you guess that it was about Aldo?
39145How could you think that I would believe in the old- rose curtains in the 300''s of East 82nd Street, I who have lived five or six years in New York? 39145 How do you do, Anne- Marie?"
39145How do you do, Nancy?
39145How do you do, Valeria?
39145How do you know my name?
39145How do you like Davos?
39145How does she sleep?
39145How is baby?
39145How long did the child practise every day?
39145How much did you say I was to pay?
39145How much do you need?
39145How much do you think it will be?
39145How old are you?
39145How old is she_ really_?
39145I can not imagine how any one who plays the Beethoven Sonata--"Which Sonata?
39145I often say to Carlo:''Why, why did I meet you first, and not your Apolline brother?''
39145I remember the garden,said Nancy, with vague eyes,"and the swing----""What swing?"
39145I thought, why do you lie?
39145I wonder where I met her before?
39145Is anybody in the world sixteen?
39145Is he not seraphically beautiful?
39145Is he?
39145Is it eleven o''clock?
39145Is it the music, dear?
39145Is it you who play the piano?
39145Is it''Eastside, Westside,''or''Paradise Alley''?
39145Is she?
39145Is she?
39145Is the canary dead?
39145Is there anything you want, Edith dear?
39145Is_ that_ the baby?
39145Kicks?
39145Little cousin,he said,"do you remember how I loved you when you were twelve years old, and scorned me?"
39145Marjory?
39145May I call you by your right name?
39145May I smoke?
39145May I stay-- may I stay, Anne- Marie? 39145 Might it not have been better if you yourself, instead of being a poet, had been merely a happy woman?"
39145Money?
39145Mother, what are the people waiting for?
39145Mother,pipes up Nancy''s treble voice suddenly,"do you think May is a girl?"
39145Must you really?
39145My fishes?
39145Nancy, have you forgotten the hard times in New York? 39145 No news from your husband?"
39145Not a fairy- tale king?
39145Not-- not Anne- Marie? 39145 Now what?"
39145Now what?
39145Now, what is this clause about three years?
39145Oh, did you, dear?
39145Oh, do you really speak German? 39145 Oh, is it?
39145Oh, must you?
39145Oh, the English is chiefly copying; he can do that, ca n''t he?
39145Prince Charming, why have you gone three thousand miles away?
39145Quoi? 39145 Quoi?"
39145Seen whom, my dear?
39145Shall I see you to your hotel?
39145Shall he stay with us?
39145Shall we have vol- au- vent that His Excellency likes?
39145Shall we risk it again?
39145She is English?
39145So?
39145Spain?
39145Spoil what?
39145The King who was ill when I had a birthday- cake long ago?
39145The King? 39145 The Kreutzer or the Frühling?
39145Then how have you lived?
39145Then what do you like for dessert?
39145Then what is the good of them?
39145Then what?
39145Then why do n''t they turn it straight again?
39145Then why do you want the crackers?
39145This morning-- in the what?
39145To meet that woman?
39145To- morrow?
39145Tom''s sons your son''s Tom''s sons... Where do I put in the baby?
39145Two or three thousand francs?
39145Was giebt''s?
39145Was giebt''s?
39145Was he really my father?
39145Well, father,he said,"why are you not asleep?"
39145Well, mother?
39145Well, then, shall I go?
39145Well, what are we going to do?
39145Well, what girl''s name can you remember?
39145Well? 39145 Well?"
39145Well?
39145Well?
39145Well?
39145Well?
39145Were you in England?
39145What about a maid?
39145What are they?
39145What are you crying for?
39145What are you doing here?
39145What are you laughing at?
39145What are you reading?
39145What are you thinking of?
39145What are you thinking, dear heart?
39145What are you thinking?
39145What baby?
39145What blood is in your veins?
39145What did he say?
39145What did the Firm say? 39145 What did you mean?"
39145What did you think?
39145What different thing have you understood?
39145What do I do? 39145 What do I owe you?"
39145What do you know?
39145What do you think of D''Annunzio?
39145What do_ you_ understand in Bach? 39145 What does Bach mean?
39145What does he want?
39145What does mean''sunning over with girls''?
39145What fees do you expect?
39145What for an education has the child?
39145What for?
39145What fun everything is, Val, is n''t it?
39145What has happened?
39145What have they given you back at the Casino?
39145What is he? 39145 What is her name?"
39145What is it, Aldo?
39145What is it, dear?
39145What is it, love of mine?
39145What is it?
39145What is it?
39145What is it?
39145What is that?
39145What is that?
39145What is that?
39145What is the blow?
39145What is the matter with Bemolle?
39145What is the matter? 39145 What is the mother like?"
39145What is to be done?
39145What it is, mein Liebchen?
39145What message was that you sent?
39145What of?
39145What say you, Bertolini? 39145 What shall I do with it now?
39145What work can he do?
39145What work?
39145What''s wrong with the kiddy? 39145 What?
39145What? 39145 What?"
39145What?
39145When do you start?
39145When is to- morrow, Anne- Marie?
39145When we were to have gone to a country that you said was hot and pretty-- and dirty-- where was that?
39145When? 39145 Where are my gloves?"
39145Where are they? 39145 Where has your manuscript been put?"
39145Where is Anne- Marie?
39145Where is Nancy?
39145Where is Nancy?
39145Where is the rest?
39145Where to?
39145Which Tom is that-- my son Tom or his son Tom?
39145Who is May, dear?
39145Who is going to pay the hotel bill?
39145Who is it?
39145Who is she?
39145Who is she?
39145Who is that conceited fool of an Englishman?
39145Who is that?
39145Who the dickens...?
39145Who was that woman?
39145Who writes to you?
39145Whom have we here? 39145 Whom?"
39145Whose name?
39145Why are you not here? 39145 Why are you not working?"
39145Why did I''pick the little words''?
39145Why did you call Edith a poor little thing?
39145Why did you come?
39145Why did you not tell me?
39145Why did you not think of taking me to hear her?
39145Why do n''t you cut her hair quite short and dress her in boy''s clothes, and say she is five years old?
39145Why do you cry, darling-- why do you cry?
39145Why do you do that?
39145Why do you dress her in blue?
39145Why do you want me to hold your ears?
39145Why do you want to cage them?
39145Why does it scream like that?
39145Why does n''t he play it himself?
39145Why not dine with me next Thursday at the Grand Hôtel?
39145Why not dine with me on Thursday?
39145Why not in white or in black velvet?
39145Why not, Valeria?
39145Why not? 39145 Why should I cry?"
39145Why should I think you have no character?
39145Why will you not be happy?
39145Why, Nancy, what''s the matter?
39145Why, my dear, how should I know?
39145Why, what----?
39145Why? 39145 Why?
39145Why?
39145Will you be glad? 39145 Will you invite me to lunch?"
39145Will you please help me? 39145 Will you wait a minute?"
39145With us two?
39145Would it not be better to cut out the speeches in print and paste them in?
39145Would you be happier without me?
39145Would you honour me by seeing''Tannhäuser''from my box at the opera to- morrow night?
39145Would you like to go there again?
39145Yes, but who is La Villari?
39145Yes, dear? 39145 Yes,"said Anne- Marie, turning to the visitor;"how can you know what I bring?
39145Yes,said the nurse;"and when you go out, will you please shut the door behind you?"
39145Yes; but am I to silence a singing fountain of music in order that my silent, unwritten books may live?
39145Yes; what is the matter?
39145Yes; will you?
39145Yet?
39145You are a Count, are n''t you?
39145You are musical?
39145You have left off loving me?
39145You have not changed your mind about going to Italy and writing your book?
39145You have thought cruel thoughts of me during all this time?
39145You say forty per cent to the artist?
39145You speak German?
39145You wo n''t turn out to be a blackmailer, will you?
39145Your brother, Master Tom, was the favourite with them all, was n''t he?
39145Your profession?
39145_ Curls!_ Are you sure it is curls?
39145_ How do you do?_Dreadful!
39145''How are you?
39145''The party of the second part agrees to give a minimum of one hundred and forty concerts per year for three years''?"
39145***** One day at dinner he said:"Where is Nancy?"
39145... On her couch on the lawn Edith opened her eyes and said:"Nancy?
39145A butter- bread?"
39145A long silence, and then he said:"And now, what do you want?"
39145After a short pause Aldo spoke respectfully in a subdued voice:"May I ask who_ she_ is?"
39145After a while Nino said:"How much did he take with him?"
39145After greetings, he asked:"Where is Sappho, the violet- haired?"
39145After the first puff he said:"You do n''t smoke, do you?"
39145Again the well- known dulcet tones:"Did you like my concert, Liebstes?
39145Ah, Prince Charming, whom do you love?
39145Aldo nodded, looking at Nancy as if to say:"You see?"
39145Aldo?
39145And Nancy said:"Is it not rather mean to go there when you know that you_ must_ win?"
39145And Nino would ask:"What girl?"
39145And Valeria said:"Can you catch my hat?"
39145And cakes?
39145And had she said"Your Majesty"to her, or"Signora"?
39145And he frequently made Mrs. Avory turn sick and chilly by asking her suddenly, when she sat at her work,"Who is dead in the house?"
39145And how could Nancy ever thank her?
39145And in this book that I love----""What colour is it?"
39145And now Edith, too?
39145And now might she go out with Schop?
39145And now what was going to happen to her?
39145And now, what?
39145And now, what?
39145And she added, frowning:"What are you crying for?"
39145And the Paganini variations on the G string?
39145And then?
39145And to say what?
39145And what have I been dreaming of?
39145And what if she were never to be able to write another?
39145And what is the matter with my nose?"
39145And what mattered repaying him?
39145And what would she do?
39145And where is Fräulein?"
39145And why did she give concerts at all?
39145And why did she try to kill herself?
39145And would he join them at the comedy later on?
39145And would she die with him now?
39145Anne- Marie asked her mother:"What is Irish stew when he is alive?"
39145Anne- Marie was a Genius?
39145Anne- Marie, do n''t you remember me?"
39145Another face and a voice:"Shall I wash this?"
39145Anywhere else?"
39145Are we a"pitiable case"?
39145Are we dreaming, mother?
39145Are you at the old dream again?
39145Are you better?
39145Are you getting better more quickly than I am?
39145Are you happy, mother dear?"
39145Are you sure?"
39145Are you worthy of companionship with the scent of my roses and the smoke of my cigarette-- such delicate, unselfish things?..."
39145As she did not answer he said:"Do n''t you like it?"
39145At this hour?
39145At this point Anne- Marie''s voice was heard from the adjoining room:"What is that piece that was lovely?"
39145But I kept her to it,"said Fräulein sternly,"and asked her:''What are millimetres?''
39145But for that matter, what was the good of the real ones?
39145But how-- said Valeria-- had it come into Nancy''s head to write a poem?
39145But if he were?
39145But perhaps he will say something more original:"Why did you not tell me you had a dimple in your chin?"
39145But supposing they are fours?"
39145But what about Aldo?
39145But what if Anne- Marie had scarlet fever?
39145But what kind of cakes, and what else?
39145But what, now that I am going to Europe, if my happiness were in America after all?
39145But you?
39145By the time you read this-- are you smiling with wondering eyes?
39145Can we not all be happy again?"
39145Could it be the poet from London?"
39145Could she not find some work for Aldo to do?
39145Could she try again and write something else?
39145Could she write to the Unknown again?
39145Could they not also love each other across the distance, wildly and blindly, without the aid of any one of their senses?
39145Count Jerace?
39145Della Rocca?
39145Despair?
39145Did I ever sit at home in Uncle Giacomo''s large arm- chair and listen benignly to moon- struck poets reading their songs?
39145Did I ever with languid fingers ring bells for servants, and order what I wanted?
39145Did I play well, Liebstes?"
39145Did Monsieur della Rocca live here?
39145Did Nancy''s heart ever regret her own hopes of glory?
39145Did Zio Giacomo in the library hear with his astral ear his son''s gratifying assertion?
39145Did he hurt you?"
39145Did it refer to the weather?
39145Did she feel the wounded place of the wings that she had torn out?
39145Did she know the metric system?
39145Did she remember her unwritten Book?
39145Did they know where was monsieur?
39145Did you hear about it?"
39145Did you not know that?
39145Do n''t we?"
39145Do n''t you know who I am?
39145Do n''t you remember it, Nancy?"
39145Do you hear the Hag murmur and mumble?
39145Do you know the hurrying anguish of Grieg''s F dur Sonata?
39145Do you know the spluttering shrieks of laughter of Bazzini''s"Ronde des Lutins"?
39145Do you know what the child said?
39145Do you remember the seven candles round my cake?"
39145Do you remember, mother?
39145Do you remember?
39145Do you see?"
39145Do you think it is a girl with roses in her arms, dancing across the lands, and touching the hedges into flower?"
39145Does he... has he... did he mean anything?"
39145Does n''t he, Marjorie?"
39145Doyle?"
39145Et moi donc?
39145Had he not always loved her?
39145Had he received a telegram?
39145Had not he himself, the lover of Valeria''s girlhood, turned from her, heart- stricken for Nancy?
39145Handkerchief?
39145Has she the A?
39145Have they room on their staff for a brilliant and original writer?
39145Have you missed me, darling?"
39145Have you never seen him?
39145He answered:"How do you do?
39145He laughed, and said:"And of what else?"
39145He looked gloomy, and sighed, and quoted Verlaine:"Mourons ensemble, voulez- vous?"
39145He nodded, and said:"When do you want to start?"
39145He played it occasionally to Anne- Marie; frequently to Nancy:"Gaily bedight, a gallant Knight, In sunshine and in shadow----""Do you hear?"
39145He said this markedly, and Van Osten only said:"Oh, indeed?"
39145He said:"Are you coming into the rooms again?"
39145He said:"Will you never forgive me?"
39145He saw you coming here and did not turn back----?"
39145He was not to be the secretary?
39145He was returning?
39145He wrote:"Will you meet me in Lucerne?"
39145Her gloves?
39145Her voice was treble and sweet as she replied:"What have you ordered?"
39145Here again?"
39145How can a mere child understand Beethoven and Bach?
39145How can you go on like that, my love?"
39145How can you know that Bach meant what_ you_ think and not what I think?"
39145How can you know that what you bring is beautifuller or gooder?
39145How can you say such a thing?"
39145How could I bring her with me?
39145How could I leave her?
39145How could she have written such an idiotic thing?
39145How do I play it?"
39145How does she come to know that?"
39145How explained?
39145How had he got those five hundred dollars to give her?
39145How long have you been here?"
39145How shall I reach it?"
39145How shall it be forced?
39145How shall we find you, the flowers, and my heart, and the messenger- boy?
39145How should she smile at him and talk to him if he were a repugnant, odious monster?
39145How were they to go back to Milan?
39145How were they to live?
39145How will she grow up?"
39145How?
39145I heard you singing''Der Musikant''...."She laughed, and said:"Are you a musician?"
39145I must take all those out, must n''t I?
39145I suppose you think I_ ought_ to go?"
39145In French, perhaps?
39145In a low voice he said:"What is your name?"
39145In a train?
39145In it Valeria told Nino that Nancy,"our little Nancy,"was betrothed to Aldo della Rocca, and could Nino not do anything to prevent it?
39145In white?
39145Is Bertie at home?"
39145Is Nancy there?"
39145Is it Paganini?
39145Is it bad?"
39145Is it not Eichendorff?"
39145Is it not enough to know who I am not, that you needs must want to know who I am?
39145It is not the''_ comment ça va_?''
39145La Villari is playing there to- night, is n''t she?
39145May I speak English?"
39145May is short for...''""For what?"
39145Minna''s voice:"What did you have for your tea?
39145Mrs. Avory laughed, and Nino said:"What is the poetry about?"
39145Mrs. Avory said:"Edith, my dear, what have you done?
39145Mrs. Avory said:"What do you mean?"
39145Nancy said vaguely,"what work do men do?
39145Nancy said:"What are you doing, Bemolle?"
39145Nearly forty?
39145Nino looked, and said:"Where does he write from?"
39145No father?
39145No temperature?
39145Nothing else at all?"
39145Now what rhymes with_ day_?"
39145Now what rhymes with_ dear?_""Play,"said Anne- Marie.
39145Now, what shall we do with it?"
39145Oh, why had she not the pale sunshiny hair of the American girl opposite her at table?
39145On Lake Maggiore?
39145One can not die of poverty, can one?
39145One does not really, actually suffer real hunger, does one, mother dear?
39145Or Mozart?
39145Or by boat?"
39145Or by motor?
39145Or shall we fence and be brilliant, antagonistic, keen- witted?
39145Or was she the girl who died?...
39145Otherwise, why should she be telling these people that she wrote poems?
39145Pas de pourboire?"
39145Relief?
39145Shall I do it?"
39145Shall we be simple and absurd and happy?
39145Shall we pluck it, Nancy, and wear it for our own delight?"
39145She is all right?"
39145She looked at me curiously, and then said suddenly:"Will you come in?"
39145She looked at my hat and coat, and at my shoes, and said:"What do you want?"
39145She put out her hand and said:"Oh, Count della Rocca, how do you do?
39145She said she would not wear red scarves, nor recite her poetry; and what was Aldo going to do in an atelier?
39145She said,"Why?"
39145She said:"What about Anne- Marie''s violin?"
39145She seemed to hear him say, with his droll English accent:"Volete essere sposina mia?"
39145She smiled, and said:"Is that all?
39145She tried to say,"Where is it?
39145She was to play the Max Bruch Concerto?
39145Should she telegraph?
39145So, exactly so, he played it for me and with me..."... Now what have you understood that I have not?
39145Strawberries grew on plants?
39145Study composition, for instance?
39145Tea?
39145That Apollo of Belvedere?
39145That lovely Italian creature?
39145The Signorino?
39145The carriage was turning into the Bois when her companion said:"Where do you want to go?"
39145The driver''s face was turned to her: was that anger in his face?
39145The hunger and the misery we went through together?
39145The little tender, wild- eyed birdling was one of the Devourers?
39145The mice?
39145The pattering of wing- like feet in Ries''s"Perpetuum Mobile?"
39145The real King?"
39145The sobbing of the unwritten Tzigane songs?
39145The"s''s"of course meant"systems,"but what could a"cr"be?
39145Then Anne- Marie said softly:"Did you like my concert, Liebstes?"
39145Then Nancy found out that she wanted something quite different, and could they give her a rhyme for"verse"?
39145Then Nancy said to the assistant:"Are you Italian?"
39145Then he halted, and said:"Or do you like her to be brought up in America?"
39145Then he said:"Has it never occurred to you that it might be better for the little girl to be just a little girl, and nothing else?"
39145Then her mother asked timidly:"Did she like your poems?"
39145Then she asked suddenly:"How young are you?"
39145Then the German lady, who had seen the dimple and the smile, said in a sudden, loud voice, over which she had no control:"Is your name Nancy?"
39145Then what?"
39145Then, after a while:"And you say his name is Wilson?"
39145Then, noting the damp ringlets on her forehead and the dimple in her cheek, he added:"What will you put on when you come to- morrow?"
39145They were a very cheerful party at tea; everybody spoke at once, even the old grandfather, who kept on inquiring,"Who are they-- who are they?"
39145To- morrow?"
39145Tom Avory''s daughter went straight towards the new- comer, and said:"You are English?"
39145Und was ist mit der Poesie?"
39145Valeria held the postcard out for him to see, and covering everything but the last line, said:"What does''cr''mean?"
39145Vermouth or Campari is what you take in your country at this hour, is it not?"
39145Was Mrs. Doyle a charitable angel who wished to help him and his family without being thanked?
39145Was he there?
39145Was it in Bern that the police had to hold the crowd back, and clear the squares for their plunging horses to pass?
39145Was it in Turin that the horses were taken from the carriage, and Anne- Marie and Nancy drawn in triumph through the cheering, waving streets?
39145Was it not Jaufré Rudel, the Poet- Prince, who had loved the unseen Countess Melisenda for so many years?
39145Was it silk?
39145Was she asleep?
39145Was that Anne- Marie?
39145Was that what he thought?
39145Was that what other people thought?--that she was_ exploiting Anne- Marie_?
39145Was the tale that his niece Adèle had told him about Antonio''s infatuation for the actress all foolish nonsense?
39145Was there not another little girl called Edith, with yellow hair?
39145Were those the hands Tom was so particular about and rather vain of-- the hands she had patted and laid her cheek against?
39145What am I doing?
39145What are her first words to be?
39145What are we to eat?"
39145What are you doing?
39145What are you thinking about?"
39145What are you thinking of?"
39145What became of her?...
39145What did he say?
39145What did it matter?
39145What did she mean?
39145What did she want?
39145What did you say about them?"
39145What do you mean?"
39145What do you want?"
39145What does he do?"
39145What had Aldo had, after all, to come home to?
39145What had come over her that she could let herself drift down into the nameless obscurity, the sullen ignominy of despair?
39145What has Aldo done?"
39145What has Bach said to you, and not to me, you silly man?"
39145What has happened, dear?"
39145What has happened?"
39145What have you understood?"
39145What if Anne- Marie had been running about the island, and had fallen into the sea?
39145What if Fräulein happened to be busy with Mrs. Avory or with the servants?
39145What if I were driving away from it, taking ships and sailing from it, catching trains and leaving it behind?
39145What if Nancy had already breathed the blight?
39145What if he turned out to be a brute and a beast?
39145What if she should reach Paris, with the fourteen dollars she still possessed, and he were not there?
39145What is he doing here?"
39145What is it, dear?
39145What is it?"
39145What is like me, and what is not like me?
39145What is that tune?"
39145What is the good of thanking him?"
39145What is the secret of luck?
39145What matter that I fall back into the shadow-- my course not run, my goal not reached, my mission unfulfilled?
39145What message----?
39145What of you?
39145What rings did the Queen wear, and what brooch?
39145What shall I do?
39145What shall I do?"
39145What should he do?
39145What should she do?
39145What then, what then, dear Unknown?
39145What then?
39145What was she doing here, all alone, at night in this unknown place, and little Anne- Marie sleeping in that large bed all alone in a strange hotel?
39145What was she doing?
39145What was that little figure, blanched, decolorized, transfigured?
39145What was the good of anything?
39145What was the good of writing a Book?
39145What was the matter with her mouth?
39145What were four hundred dollars, belonging to a friend, compared with the torn and quivering heart- strings of a lover?
39145What were they doing up there?
39145What were they going to do?
39145What would happen?
39145What would he say to her when they met?
39145What''s in a name?
39145What''s wrong with it?"
39145What-- oh, terrible thought!--if he were to think her not as pretty as he had expected?
39145What?
39145What?
39145What?
39145What?
39145When can you start?"
39145When do you start?"
39145When does your book appear?
39145When he had left, Nancy said to Nino:"Who is La Villari?
39145When she enters the room, she says, nodding and laughing,"Now, and what makes the Anne- Marie?"
39145Where are the arbours of roses?
39145Where do I live?
39145Where do you live?"
39145Where had she seen that face before?
39145Where has she been?
39145Where is Nancy?"
39145Where is he?
39145Where is it?
39145Where is the baby?"
39145Where the fountains and the deep, water- lilied lakes?
39145Where to?
39145Where was it that she was serenaded and called to the balcony twenty times by a crowd that seemed to have gone mad?
39145Where was it?
39145Where was she when his telegram arrived?
39145Where will it go to?
39145Where?"
39145While it was being made out, the kindly woman said:"Are you leaving to- day, madame?"
39145Who are you making to look prettier?
39145Who can describe the excitement of the following days?
39145Who could that fat woman be?
39145Who is seventeen?"
39145Who is with us in this involucrum?"
39145Who knows what Nancy heard?
39145Who knows what visions and fancies she took with her to her dreams?
39145Who sends her all these flowers?
39145Who smiles and dimples and blushes for your sake?
39145Who?
39145Whom do I love?
39145Whom will it reach?
39145Whose cheeks are you tinting?
39145Whose eyes are you brightening?
39145Whose heart are you making to flutter by the hurry of yours?
39145Why are men such beasts?"
39145Why did I marry him?
39145Why did n''t you?
39145Why did you?
39145Why do n''t you work?"
39145Why not do something else?
39145Why not the long, up- curling lashes of her light and starry glance?
39145Why not the youth- splashed eyes of the little girl from the West, who was going to Paris to study art?
39145Why should he be at home?"
39145Why should she not be allowed to play Bach like an angel to- day, lest she should not be able to play him like Joachim ten years hence?"
39145Why to England?"
39145Why was it so dear and familiar?
39145Why?
39145Why?
39145Will Convention guide the steed of our Destiny gently back into the well- kept stables of the common- place?
39145Will that pay your journey to England to see the firm of publishers?"
39145Will you come?"
39145Will you kiss my white hands gratefully?
39145Will you remember that, and will you promise?"
39145Will you take me away before you go, away to some rose- lit, jasmine- starred nook in Italy, where my heart may find peace again?
39145With her mother?
39145With whom?
39145With_ dear!--dear?_""Vegetables?"
39145With_ dear!--dear?_""Vegetables?"
39145Without looking up, he said:"Will you give me your purse?
39145Would he come back?
39145Would she tell him her name?
39145Yes, dear?"
39145You do n''t want me to go away again, do you?
39145You do n''t want to spoil everything, do you?"
39145You do not want to stay in Paris for ever, do you?"
39145You have come back?"
39145You say monsieur has a system?"
39145Zio Giacomo said that it was in his brother''s family; whereupon Mrs. Avory said,"Indeed?"
39145_ Gut!_ And the Fantasia Appassionata?
39145_"Pronti, partenza?
39145_"What?
39145and added:"Is there nothing else I can do?"
39145and then again,"Oh, really?"
39145are you better?"
39145are you sure you are not tiring of me yet?"
39145gasped Nancy,"must I?
39145has she been naughty?"
39145he said,"have you done that?"
39145more questions?
39145no hæmorrhage for a month?
39145or was it, perhaps, a slangy servant''s way of saying,"Leave me alone"or"Hold your tongue"?
39145piped up Anne- Marie, who had paid no attention to the conversation, but who liked to say"Why not?"
39145she said,"have you thought that?"
39145she said;"and then?"
39145then, what?
39145they were not baby stars?
39145to her?...
39145was she dreaming?
39145was she drugged?
39145what?
39145when did I fall asleep?
39145with fourteen dollars?
